Dallas Police Officer Convicted of Armed Heist at Sam’s Club

Dallas Police Officer Alph Coleman
Dallas, Texas

Once hailed as a hero, a Dallas police officer could be headed to prison.

A Dallas County jury found Alph Coleman guilty of masterminding an armed heist at a Sam's Club where he worked off-duty security.

Jurors delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on Tuesday afternoon.

Officer Coleman spoke exclusively to NBC DFW in 2008 after the robbery. He described how a man in a ski mask rushed into the store and held him at gunpoint.

When asked in the interview if he thought he was going to die, Coleman said, "There's not one time in my head that I was thinking, 'I was going to die.'"

Prosecutors said Coleman wanted to be shot to make the robbery seem more realistic.
