[MI] Sgt. Cobb & hitman he used to kill wife Rose arrested 4

April 21, 2008

DETROIT -- Authorities on Sunday arrested a Detroit police sergeant accused of putting out a contract on his wife after earlier arresting the accused "hitman," a 27-year-old Detroiter who could be responsible for as many as nine killings.

Sgt. David Cobb, 38, who works in the department's eastern district, was arrested without incident at his home early Sunday morning, police said.

His wife, Rose Cobb, 47, was fatally shot in the head several times on Dec. 26, 2007, as she sat in the couple's van in the parking lot of a CVS pharmacy on East Jefferson. David Cobb was shopping inside the store at the time.
The arrest of Cobb came hours after a multi-jurisdictional violent crime task force arrested Vincent Smothers, 27, in Macomb County's Shelby Township. Police questioning of Smothers linked him to the Cobb killing and much more.

Maybe I had it confused and thought we were talking about Rose's husband Sgt David Cobb killing himself - which he did while he was out on bond. But maybe you were talking about Vincent Smothers - who was in jail and whoops, TRIED to kill himself recently.

Its asses like this man why most women married to cops are afraid to do something. Then when they do, they go to prison. Its a damn shame this woman and others like her are the ones that pay the ultimate price! Keep exposing this CLOUDWRITER, you are doing a great thing here with some terrible but very real things.

It's just a good thing that he's going to deal with the law now. Seems like he almost got away with it.
