ROANOKE RAPIDS NC AUG 28 2009 — A person considered armed and dangerous for allegedly shooting a security guard is behind bars.
Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Jeff Hinton told the Daily Herald this morning with the help of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office Andrew Bell, 17, of Roanoke Rapids, turned himself in last night.
Hinton said RRPD appreciates the efforts of Deputy Fred Whitaker getting Bell to turn himself in at the Roanoke Rapids police station around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
While members of Roanoke Rapids Police A Squad were on routine patrol Monday, they came in contact with an unknown person matching the description of a suspect wanted in a Saturday night shooting of a security guard near the old Bibb Plant Mill, explained Roanoke Rapids Police Deputy Chief Adam Bondarek.
Officers observed a small caliber pistol in his waistband. Bondarek said the subject ran and during the chase he stole a bicycle from a youngster, then escaped capture by police. Although officers were unable to apprehend him, they were able to identify him as Bell. (After the pursuit, Capt. Andy Jackson proceeded several hundred yards on foot down a nearby railroad track to retrieve the abandoned bicycle stolen during the chase. Jackson returned the bike to the youngster, Bondarek said).
It was around 11 p.m., Saturday when an on-duty security guard “in the area of 13th Street and the old mill parking lot was approached by a male on an orange bicycle demanding his wallet,” Bondarek stated. The victim identified himself as a security guard and said he didn’t have any money. “The unknown black male pulled a small caliber handgun from his person and fired at the security guard at close range, striking him one time,” Bondarek stated.
The security guard is listed in good condition.
Bondarek said Bell has a history with law enforcement.
Bell faces charges of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, fleeing the police and larceny of a bicycle.
Bell is in jail on $50,000 bond and has a Dec. 19 court date.
