| - Details: On the night of August 18, 1984, police officers Vic Webb and Rick Foley received a tip that a woman wanted for fraud frequented a local pool hall called Gary's Game Room. At 10:25pm, the two officers arrived at the hall, and as they searched the bar and went down a hallway in the back of the pool hall, a black male came at them with a gun, and ordered them to drop their weapons. Then, the man began firing at the officers, and they drew their weapons as a gunfight ensued while the officers tried to exit the bar. Although he was wearing a flak jacket, Officer Webb was hit twice, and the second bullet ripped his right arm, severing an artery, destroying nerves, and leaving his shooting hand useless. Webb managed to make his way out of the bar where his partner Officer Foley was already radioing for assistance. Only later did they realize that the suspect had picked up Webb's gun, which helped him make his escape unharmed. The assailant was later identified as Lyle Moody, a paroled armed robber with a criminal record stretching back more than seventeen years. He is wanted for attempted murder and is still at large. Extra Notes: This case was featured as a part of the May 26, 1993 episode, and was updated on the August 20, 2002 episode. Results: Captured. Lyle Moody was arrested on the night of February 22, 2002, on a criminal trespassing charge in New York City. Moody gave police an alias, but authorities ran his fingerprints in a database, discovered that he was a wanted fugitive, and extradited to New Mexico where he was found guilty and sentenced to twelve years for two counts of assault and aggravated battery. In November of 2010, he was paroled after serving just six years in prison. Links:
