A former officer with the Mobile Police Department is locked up in the Washington County Jail, and a current officer is on administrative duty status after firing his weapon during the overnight incident leading to the arrest.
Police said the former officer, Robert Harris, attempted suicide by encouraging an officer to shoot him.
Harris was erratic and combative while making suicidal statements and refused officers repeated commands, police said. Harris continued to demand the officer to take his life and produced an object from behind his back as if it were a weapon, police said. Officers pursued and deflected Harris’s intended direction which resulted in him colliding into the convenience store where he was taken into custody. Harris was transported to Washington County Jail and charged with disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and attempting to elude.
The MPD said Robert Harris is no longer employed by the City of Mobile Police Department. He resigned on March 30 while under administrative and criminal investigation, police said.
