When the Officer Doesn't Have Time to be Nice

On August 13th in Florida, police responded to a call of a suspected shoplifter at CVS. Court records show that a woman was seen placing numerous items in a child's car seat that she had covered with a blanket. When the first officer arrived on scene, he noticed a Kia Optima parked near the front door and a woman waiting behind the wheel. The deputy suspected she might be acting as the getaway driver, but he went inside to confront the other woman first. Upon making contact with her, he found nearly $900 worth of merchandise concealed in the child's car seat. 0:00 The Story Begins 0:45 Caught Red-Handed 1:08 Uncovering the Full Extent of the Theft 2:00 The Accomplice(?) in the Parking Lot 4:52 A Second Arrest 8:55 Charges Filed and Final Outcome Police Ride-Alongs' content is created for the purposes of providing in-depth reports on real-world law enforcement encounters and public safety issues.
