Henderson police officer shot in robbery dies this morning

A Henderson police captain shot in an armed robbery on Thursday night died this morning, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has confirmed.

Capt. Dennis Cagle was shot once in the stomach around 8 p.m. Thursday at a grocery store in Chester County.

Ricky Steward, 48, has been charged with aggravated robbery and attempted first degree murder. He was also shot multiple times in the robbery. He is in critical but stable condition at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, said John Mehr, TBI special agent in charge.

Steward’s 49-year-old wife, Cheryl, was also arrested Thursday and is charged with aggravated robbery.

Mehr said more charges are likely pending for the couple.

I would hope that murder charges will be brought, and the death penalty will REMAIN an option. These types of things aren’t suppose to happen in small town America.

My prayers are with the family, friends and fellow officers.

    Yeah, it’s suppose to, but I can’t seem to fix it.  I did however fix the link for you,  and thanks.

    It’s there and what did the two shi*  robbers get away with, a night of crack hits?
    What scum, and as I always say, anyone crazy enough to shoot a cop should be immediately put to death, as they’re an even greater danger to the regular civilian public. 

    These two pieces of sh** will probably live on death row longer than I do on the outside, waiting on appeal after liberal coddling appeals, mental evaluations, and all the other ridiculous crap these criminals are afforded at our expense..
