Burglar Shot & Critically Injured by Homeowner

Last night, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officers responded to 3421 Shamrock Drive after receiving a 911 call regarding a residential burglary and shooting incident.

Police say the investigation revealed that Rontrey Digsby (Shown R) illegally forced entry into an occupied residence. As Digsby gained entry, he was shot by the homeowner and is in critical/stable condition at CMC. Digsby is charged with first degree burglary.

As usual, Digsby has a long rap sheet going back to 2003 when he was convicted of common law burglary at age 17. In 2004, a Judge sentenced him to probation but he continued his criminal activities (10 arrests since 2005) without any consequences... In fact, his last arrest was 10 days ago.

If the Judges won't take the thugs off the street- it is good to see citizens taking care of business!
