Police were seeking Wetherby in connection with two assaults that left two men seriously injured.
Authorities say Wetherby attacked one man with a roofing stapler on March 2 in Westminster, and another man with scissors and a baseball bat at a home he was hiding in March 8.
Wetherby’s attorney says he may seek a mental health evaluation for his client.
The investigation into the officer-involved shooting is ongoing.
