ATHENS, Tenn. — After being struck by a car Sunday and beaten by an intruder Monday, Tony Hicks returned to a hospital a third consecutive day when police investigating a convenience store robbery shot him.
The unrelated sequence of hospitalizations was not the first time police have dealt with Hicks, whose criminal record includes a shootout with police, Detective Bill Matthews said.
A police statement said Hicks was shot after making "aggressive movements" toward officers who wanted to question him about the Tuesday night robbery near his apartment.
He was treated and released after the shooting and was in jail Thursday after a judge ordered Hicks, 42, be held on a $100,000 bond, pending a July 13 hearing on charges of aggravated robbery and attempted first-degree murder.
