Overview
- Multiple agencies executed a warrant around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on CR 3509 west of Jacksonville, where 64-year-old Bobby Michael Dennis was located in nearby woods and surrendered without incident.
- Dennis is charged with attempted capital murder of a peace officer, interference with a police service animal, and two counts of obstruction or retaliation.
- At arraignment before Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Brenda Dominy, bonds were set at $1,000,000 for the attempted capital murder charge and $300,000 across the other counts, and officials noted an ATF hold with extradition details pending.
- Jacksonville’s police chief said the wounded officer underwent additional surgery and is improving, while K-9 Renzo is recovering after several surgeries.
- Investigators reported AR-15-style rifle fire that struck the patrol vehicle and injured the K-9, later finding a makeshift bunker with a 9mm handgun; the case triggered a Blue Alert, a DPS Top 10 placement, and rewards totaling up to $20,000 as schools and businesses faced disruptions.
