Ted Bundy - Ted was stopped by Pensacola police officer David Lee

Time: Wednesday Feb 15, 1978 at 01 AM

Place: Florida, U.S.

Details: Three days later, at around 1:00 am, Ted was stopped by Pensacola police officer David Lee near the Alabama state line after a "wants and warrants" check showed his Volkswagen Beetle was stolen. When told he was under arrest, Bundy kicked Lee's legs out from under him and took off running. Lee fired a warning shot followed by a second round, gave chase, and tackled him. The two struggled over Lee's gun before the officer finally subdued and arrested Bundy.
