“Whoever shot this dirt bag ought to get a medal,” Ward 11 Councilman Mike Polensek said. “I might get a proclamation for him.”
It all started when Jacquella Lattimore left the house to take her children to camp. Police say she was accosted by three men who were trying to force her back into the house at gunpoint. What the intruders apparently didn’t know is that Lattimore’s fiancé, Johnny Bridges, was watching from the window with his gun.
“They walked her out of the garage and when they got to the door, I shot,” Bridges said.
Bridges’ bullet hit one of the suspects. All three gunmen ran. The injured suspect was taken into custody at Euclid Hospital. The other two were stopped a few blocks away after police noticed they looked suspicious.
Fifth District Commander Wayne Drummond said they face charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and felonious assault.
