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.”
Ping.
A nice story to start the day.
And a good statement from the Sheriff.
“...the last word on his condition being “stable.”
DEAD is ‘stable’...................
capiases .........never seen that word before.........
Good thing that happened in a surviving part of America and not New York where democrats prosecute good Samaritans.
I had to look it up too.
The Good Samaritan needs to take firing practice.
Instead of aiming at the chest, shoot between the eyes.
One shot to center mass...while on the ground? Good shootin’Tex!
The good samaritan seems to have had only one bullet ... ???

Cody the scumbag , a shame he survived.
Wonder how much the airlift cost the tax payer. Parking lot exsanguination should have been considered.

I had to look it up too. Either the writer had her thesaurus out, or they use a nonstandard term for warrant in Virginia.
Wonderful incident that I’m sure the Main Stream Media will be reporting to the nation soon. / sarcasm
Somebody showing off their Latin skills..............
Not all heroes wear capiases.
