CAMDEN - A man suspected of being involved in a recent break-in at a Chidester home has been killed, a report from the Ouachita County sheriff’s office said.
Jack Bosnick was shot dead Friday night at the residence at 314 S. Benton St. that he was accused of breaking into the night before. Chidester is about 14 miles northwest of Camden.
An incident report released Monday said Chidester Police Chief Jarrod Purifoy contacted the sheriff’s office for backup at the Chidester home after resident Frances Hannah told police she had shot Bosnick.
Lt. Cedric D. Gregory and deputies Chris and Gill David Harcrow responded, along with emergency medical personnel.
Once Gregory arrived, Purifoy led him to Bosnick’s body on the front porch, where he was positioned with his upper torso resting on the seat of a chair. Blood trailed from the front door to where Bosnick’s body lay on the porch.
Just 24 hours earlier, police were dispatched to the home when Hannah said she shot at Bosnick after coming home and finding him rummaging through her kitchen drawer for syringes. Hannah told police she believed Bosnick had entered her home through a back door while she was away.
