A pair of suspects who allegedly shoplifted from a Rhode Island Lululemon fled from a police officer during a traffic stop, running over the cop’s foot, video shows.
According to a Rhode Island State Police press release, Cranston Police officers responded June 16 to a shoplifting at the Lululemon store in the Garden City Shopping Center. The suspects, later identified as Michael Campagna and Megan O’Brien, both 24, fled the area in a gray Kia. A Cranston cop, identified by Providence CBS affiliate WPRI as Officer Kayleigh Cooper, spotted the car stopped in traffic on Reservoir Avenue near the on ramp to Route 10.
The video shows Cooper approach the vehicle and order the pair to turn it off and get out. She opens the door.
“What are ya doing? What is this about?” Campagna says from the driver’s seat as Cooper continues to tell them to get out of the car. “Ma’am what are you doing? Get away from my car.”
O’Brien tells Campagna to “drive” and he steps on the gas and flees.
“He’s gonna run me over! F—,” Cooper screams.
