SOUTHWICK - A man accused of shooting his roommate in the hip, turned himself into police Wednesday night after two days of running from officers.

Joseph Milo Munroe, 21, of Sheep Pasture Road, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a household member, attempted murder, carrying a firearm without a license and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, Police Chief Kevin A. Bishop said.

He was arraigned in Westfield District Court and will be held without bail until a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Dec. 26, court officials said.

During an investigation, Det. Sgt. Thomas Krutka learned the victim and Munroe started fighting at the home on Sheep Pasture Road and the victim was shot in the hip, Bishop said.

A relative drove the injured person to Baystate Noble Medical Center. Personnel there reported to police that a man suffering from a gunshot wound had come in for help at about 3:22 a.m. on Tuesday, he said.

Using information and evidence from the investigation, police received an arrest warrant for Munroe, but he had left the house before officers arrived, Bishop said.

Police continued to investigate and learned of multiple locations where Munroe may have been but did not locate him. Then Southwick Police K9 Officer Michael Westcott started talking to another person who was in contact with Munroe, Bishop said.

"Over the next 24 hours, Westcott continued conversations with the third party and Westcott was able to convince Joseph Munroe to turn himself in at the Southwick Police Department," he said.

Munroe arrived at about 11:35 p.m. on Wednesday and was held overnight on $10,000 bail until his arraignment Thursday, Bishop said.

Police also arrested another roommate who was accused of covering up the shooting, Bishop said.

Rene Alexander Mitchell, 37, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with accessory after the fact of an attempt to commit murder, possession of a firearm without a license and destruction of evidence, he said.

Bail was set at $5,000 and he was arraigned in Westfield District Court later that day, he said.

"All members of the Southwick Police Department did a fantastic job during this investigation but extra credit has to be given to K9 Officer Michael Westcott for his ability to open up a conversation to bring Monroe in a safe manner," Bishop said.

Lt. Robert Landis oversaw the investigation, that was run by Krutka, he said.
