Dash-Cam Video of Liquor Store Robber Mark Betts Getting Shot to Death
October 23rd, 200845 year old Mark Betts screwed up and now he’s dead. Plain stupidity. Dude got thirsty, walked into a liquor store, grabbed a couple of bottles and bolted for the door without paying. Dedicated liquor store employee tried to stop the robber, but Mark Betts was more dedicated to quench his thirst. He pulled up a club and liquor store employee – wisely – gave robber way, but notified the police.
Cops got on the case and located the truck Mark Betts was driving. After a little car chase between Ponderay and Colburn Culver Road, Bonner Co. Sheriff’s deputies in cooperation with police forced fleeing robber off the road. Being stuck in a ditch, unable to drive off, Mark Betts opened the door opened fire with a hand gun. Damn idiot… what was he thinking?
The police returned fire shooting Mark Betts to death. It all went down on July 7, 2008. The police dash cam video that captures last moments of Mark Betts’ life was only released now.
The prosecutors from the Bonner County ruled the shooting justified after reviewing that dash-cam video and decided that there will be no charges filed against the officers. Bonner county Sherriff Elaine Savage also said the shooting was justified. Where do these people live? The county is close to a “boner” and sheriff is savage! Must be Idaho…
The names of deputies who fired on and killed Mark Betts were also released: Lt. Gary Johnston, Mitch Parnell and Phil Stella. In my opinion they did a good job and had their lives on line as well. You don’t pull a gun on a cop. Period!
What a dumb ass though. Shooting at cops for a drink? He just robbed a mother-fucking liquor store. He should have given up right there and get away with a fine or maybe short jail time. Now Mark Betts is dead with skull resembling an Edam cheese. Dumbass.
