Idaho Sergeant Shot by Patrol Car Thief Dies
^ Sgt. Greg Moore died Wednesday at Kootenai Health in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. RIP.
Moore was shot about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after checking on a suspicious person in a neighborhood, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said. The suspect stole the police vehicle.
Police arrested POS ^Jonathan Renfro, 26, after a car chase that reached speeds of 125 mph. The pursuit ended when a police dog dragged the man from his hiding place underneath a commercial truck.
Renfro appeared in court Tuesday afternoon and was charged with attempted murder (that will be upped to murder now), theft of a police vehicle, theft of an officer's gun and being a felon with a gun. Bail was set at $2 million. He was held in the Kootenai County, Idaho, jail.
Moore was a 16-year veteran of the Coeur d'Alene department. A GoFundMe page for his wife Lindy has been established and thus raised nearly $65,000 USD.
