The Boise Police Department on Friday identified 40-year-old Adam Cook as the man shot by officers earlier this week — and named him as the suspect in three robberies in a 10-day span.
Cook was fleeing an arrest attempt when he was shot, according to police. He is being held at a hospital on a warrant for three counts of felony robbery, with enhancements for use of a deadly weapon in commission of a felony.
According to Boise Police, Cook is a suspect in these three robberies:
▪ Sept. 15: A man pulled a handgun just after 7:30 p.m. in a business in the 7000 block of West Fairview Avenue, demanded and took money, and stole an employee’s vehicle.
▪ Sept. 21: A man again demanded and took money and displayed a handgun at a business in the 6000 block of West Overland Road. The incident took place a little before 9:30 p.m.
▪ Sept. 24: On the day that police say they identified Cook as a suspect in the previous robberies, they responded to a third reported robbery. The report was made around 9:30 p.m. and involved a business on Fairview near North McKinney Street.
