A 36-year-old man shot by Methuen, Massachusetts, police was arraigned at his hospital bed for allegedly robbing a convenience store.
James Dobbins was arraigned Friday at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston on charges of armed robbery while masked, prosecutors said.
He was shot by police detectives at least four times Thursday night after they went to question him in an apartment complex in Methuen about the robbery that happened earlier that day.
The four officers involved have since been placed on administrative leave, which is common procedure with such shootings.
Police say Dobbins called officers to the apartment complex. Then "without warning drew a black firearm, pointed it at the officers and began to move at them rapidly," they said in a statement.
He was ordered to be held without bail.
Dobbins was represented by Kelli Murray for bail only, and his next court date is May 27 for a dangerousness hearing.
