NORFOLK, Va. A Norfolk man was shot in the hand during an attempted armed robbery Friday evening.
Dispatch received the call shortly before 6:30 p.m. for an attempted robbery in the 1100 block of Bland Street. When police arrived, they found two adults, who told officers that a man armed with a gun approached them as they were walking to their vehicle and demanded money from them.
During the incident, the suspect, identified as Rashaad B. Spencer, struck one of the victims in the head with the firearm and the victim fought back. During the struggle, Spencer was shot in the hand. He then fled on foot.
The 40-year-old victim was taken to Bon Secours-DePaul Medical Center for treatment of a non-life threatening injury.
A short time later, Spencer arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital seeking treatment for his gunshot wound. He was arrested at the hospital and charged with attempted robbery, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and malicious wounding.
Once he is released from the hospital, he will be taken to the Norfolk City Jail
RASHAAD BERTHEL SPENCER
Rashaad, you worthless bum. The job market is booming. Instead, he tries to beat and rob someone.
Criminals a lot of times work harder at being criminals then they would at a regular job.
There’s a lotta bones in a hand.
Rashaad is an odd name.
Fwiw, Rashaad means Wisdom, right guidence, or so they say.
He’s nothing but a “target-rich environment”. Too bad the victim(s) couldn’t have finished him off and saved the taxpayers a pile of money.
“Fwiw, Rashaad means Wisdom, right guidance, or so they say.”
Guess in his case it was just a wish!
From the name and stupidity of the crime, didn’t need to look.
Well, it didn’t work. If it did, they should have named him “King”
Spencer, now known as “Lefty”,...
Probably now qualifies for disability and oxycontin prescriptions.
