FALLS MILLS, Va. (WVVA) - A Good Samaritan shot a wanted man attempting to carjack a woman and her child on Friday.
According to Major Harold Heatley with the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened at Lee’s Kar-Go when the suspect, identified as Cody Dailey, 30, “attempted to carjack a truck, assaulted the female driver of the vehicle and told her child that was in the vehicle, ‘I’m going to rape your mommy.’”
Multiple citizens heard the victim screaming and came to her aid, and one of those citizens was armed with his 9mm handgun.
The armed Good Samaritan approached Dailey and gave commands, but Dailey charged and shoved the man to the ground.
Dailey continued approaching the armed citizen, and that was when the citizen shot the suspect, hitting him in the chest.
Law enforcement responded after hearing the gunshot at approximately 1:15 p.m. while working a nearby separate incident on Mudfork Road.
Dailey was airlifted to Roanoke for his injuries with the last word on his condition being “stable.”
Dailey was wanted on two outstanding capiases from the Tazewell County Circuit Court.
Roanoke authorities have been made aware of Dailey’s current charges, and detectives are actively working to obtain additional charges for abduction, carjacking, assault and battery among others.
Sheriff Brian Hieatt stated, “Thank goodness for the good Samaritans that came to the victims’ aid during her time of need. We are grateful for their desire to intercede on her behalf, had they not acted this could have been a very different outcome.”
I shot a capias once in my pajamas.
What it was doing in my pajamas I’ll never know...............
Criminals should not be airlifted anywhere, however, if they are kicked out of the helo while airborne, that is ok.
“kicked out of the helo while airborne,”
Oh no. Once a year load them all on a C-17 and take it to max altitude over the ocean, bring it back empty.
I am a firm believer in prison colonies.
Prisons serve as all at once punishment for crimes, a potential vector for rehabilitation, but most importantly, a means to remove criminals from society at larger, which preserves public safety and domestic tranquility.
The criminal element will then be able to rule among themselves, far away from the rest of society.
“They are all animals, anyway. Let them lose their souls.”
.45 because having to shoot them more than once is just silly
He should have mag dumped that POS.
Several hollow point rounds in the liver would be appropriate for Mr. Cody “I’m gonna rape your mommy” Dailey.
Extremely painful and ultimately fatal.
“told her child that was in the vehicle, ‘I’m going to rape your mommy.’”
This seems a little over-the-top. I have my doubts about this supposed quote.
It would be interesting to know what kind of ammo the Good Samaritan was using. I wonder if there is any data collected on defensive shootings and the caliber/type of ammo used? Maybe some police departments keep track of those kind of things?
Reacher..... good series.
Wrong outcome...
"Dead a a door nail" would have been much better...
They should have attempted to contact his relatives, and waited for them to claim the body. They wouldn’t want to interfere in his end of life wishes.
