Clerk wounds man in holdup at motel in Tappahannock
A 25-year-old Tappahannock man remains in stable condition in a Richmond hospital after being shot June 26 while allegedly trying to rob a motel.
Tappahannock police say a desk clerk of the Days Inn shot an armed robber about 12:45 a.m. Shortly after the wounded man fled the motel, emergency personnel responded to a 911 call from a nearby townhouse about a gunshot victim.
Tenelle Fisher, who lived in the townhouse development, has been charged with attempted robbery and use of a firearm while committing a felony, said Tappahannock Police Chief James H. Barrett Jr.
Barrett said Fisher also is a suspect in the June 20 robbery of the same clerk at the same motel.
Fisher is facing a trial next month in Essex County on a felony breaking-and-entering charge from last year. He was convicted in Westmoreland County of forgery in 1998 and grand larceny in 2001.
Fisher's father, Westmoreland Supervisor Darryl E. Fisher, said yesterday his son is improving and may be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
"It's been a trying experience," Darryl Fisher said. "It's taken much prayer just to keep him alive. We'll sort through the rest later."
