SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – A 26-year-old north Idaho man accused of fatally shooting a veteran police officer and stealing his patrol car has been ordered held on $2 million bail.

Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore died Tuesday evening after he was critically wounded early Tuesday morning.

Jonathan Renfro of Rathdrum appeared in court Tuesday afternoon, after being captured following a high-speed chase. He was charged with attempted murder, theft of a police vehicle, theft of an officer’s gun and being a felon with a gun.

The attempted murder charge was expected to be upgraded in light of Moore’s death at a Coeur d’Alene hospital. Renfro has a long criminal record and was on probation.

The officer was shot about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after checking on a suspicious person in a neighborhood, Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said.
