When you have potential evidence lodged in your skull, it is probably wise to cop a plea.

Investigators say that 19-year-old Joshua Bush was part of a group of gang members who broke into a Port Arthur used car lot in July 2006.

According to police, Bush tried to shoot businessman Alan Olive. Police say that when Olive returned fire, a bullet struck the teenager. Bush had claimed he had been accidentally shot by a friend.

Police and Jefferson County prosecutors wanted doctors to extract the bullet from Bush’s forehead. But Bush and his attorney fought the removal.
