Barcardi Robinson, a fugitive from justice captured in Groton Friday after an extended struggle with police, told officers, "Shoot me. Shoot me," as they closed in on him, according to police reports released Monday in New London Superior Court.

Judge Omar A. Williams set bond for Robinson at $1 million when the 25-year-old, who police said was bitten by a police dog and shot with a stun gun while attempting to elude capture, was led into the courtroom wearing a hospital gown and shackles. Three police officers were also injured during the incident, one of them suffering a significant injury to his hand and forearm after he was inadvertently bitten by a police dog, according to the police report.

Robinson, assisted by intern Don Trella from the public defender's office, agreed to waive extradition to North Carolina, where police say he carried out two armed home invasion/kidnappings and is a suspect in a third. He's likely to remain in Connecticut for some time, however, since he is charged with 11 crimes related to Friday's incidents. His next court date is July 28, and officials are screening the case to determine if it will be heard in the major crimes court.

"These are allegations that are violent," Judge Williams said after reading the police reports. "They suggest flight and attempting to avoid prosecution here and in North Carolina."

Prosecutor Sarah Bowman, in arguing for a high bond, had called the incident "an extremely serious matter involving weapons, drugs and civilians who had nothing to do with this, who were terrified, and two police officers injured."

Trella said Robinson disputes the allegations.

Once a Navy sailor, Robinson had been discharged following a 2011 court martial in which he was sentenced to 60 months of confinement for distribution of cocaine, according to Bail Commissioner Timothy Gilman and police. Married with two children, he had been staying with a friend who lived in Navy housing for about two weeks, according to Gilman. The friend, interviewed by police hours after the incident, said he had just returned from three days at sea that afternoon and that Robinson had been staying in his living room. Robinson, who has mental health issues, has no means of support, according to Gilman.

Wanted in Fayetteville, N.C., for two armed home invasions and kidnappings, Robinson jumped out of a second-floor window of a house at 435 Burningtree Drive when police attempted to serve him with a warrant charging him as a fugitive from justice. Wearing only pajama bottoms, he refused to answer the door for members of the arrest team and jumped out the window when they forced entry, leaving behind a stolen revolver, which was loaded, and six bags of cocaine, according to the reports. 

Police used a reverse 911 system to warn area residents to shelter in place and were contemplating evacuating the area when Robinson broke into a home at 22 Driftwood Circle that was occupied by two teenage siblings, one of them sleeping. Robinson demanded clothing, money, a car and a phone. Fearing for his and his sleeping sister's safety, the 19-year-old brother gave Robinson a shirt and jeans and his phone. While in the home, Robinson kept the teen confined to a hallway "so that he could not be seen or sound the alarm," according to the police report. After about 30 minutes, Robinson demanded the teen call police and report seeing a suspect running into the woods.

The teen complied with Robinson's demands, but when police approached the back door, he held up a cell phone with a message reading, "He's inside the house and my sister is in her room," according to the report. Officers pulled him out of the home to safety and were able to communicate with the 15-year-old girl, who escaped the house by jumping out a window.

With the house surrounded, Robinson unexpectedly ran out a rear door with his hands in the air, but refused repeated commands from police, who had surrounded the house, to stop and get on the ground, according to the court documents. He said, "Shoot me. Shoot me," as he walked toward the treeline, and was tackled by detectives Rob Emery and Matthew Hammerstrom. Robinson continued to struggle, and the police said they used a dog and Taser gun to bring him under control. Emery injured his wrist in the incident, and Hammerstrom hurt his left shoulder, according to the report.

Fayetteville police said Robinson and an unnamed accomplice rang a doorbell on June 3 and forced their way into the home of a 63-year-old victim.

Police said the suspects assaulted the man and held him at gunpoint while they demanded money and property.

Police said Robinson was also involved in a June 14 home invasion in which a 57-year-old victim was robbed at gunpoint.

He is also a suspect in another home invasion that occurred last month in Spring Lake, N.C., police said.
