Shoplifting suspect shot, killed by off-duty officer at Charlotte apartments
The Pineville Police Department says the suspect and police officer were in a “physical altercation” before shots were fired.
A shoplifting suspect was shot and killed by an off-duty Pineville police officer who was working security on Tuesday afternoon, investigators said. Pineville Police were called to a Food Lion on Johnston Road around 3 p.m. for shoplifting. An off-duty officer who was in full uniform in a marked police cruiser at a nearby shopping center near the Food Lion saw the suspect in the parking lot, police said.
The suspect, 46-year-old Dennis Bodden of Charlotte, was known by police for chronic shoplifting and had shown violent tendencies toward police, investigators allege. Bodden also had two outstanding felony warrants for larceny and breaking and entering related to the Food Lion where the alleged shoplifting happened.
