Jacolby Tremone McCoy and his buddies allegedly planned to rob a Plano Road business, but they did not bank on the business owner being upstairs and armed.
It happened early Tuesday, about 4:30 a.m. at a business in the 10300 block of Plano Road, when four masked men broke in by prying open the door. But the owner, who was working upstairs, heard the commotion, came down and opened fire on the suspects who he witnessed grabbing cash, according to police.
The suspects ran out to a vehicle and hurriedly departed.
Some 30 minutes later, an (unmasked) McCoy was dropped off at the doors to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, formerly known as Doctors Hospital, near White Rock Lake. After diagnosing gunshot wounds, hospital personnel called police, who fairly promptly connected the dots.
“Evidence collected at the scene, at the hospital, and witness testimony provided detectives with sufficient probable cause to charge Mr. McCoy with the burglary on Plano Road,” police say in a press release, adding that “Mr. McCoy is hospitalized in critical condition. The business owner was not injured.”
