BREAKING NEWS – Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – A South Carolina police department is commemorating one of its officers after a traffic stop led to the rescue of a woman allegedly forced to drive a shooting suspect away from a crime scene.
While talking with the people in the car, Officer Wallace noticed the woman driving the Jeep “appeared distressed,” and when the man in the passenger seat wasn’t looking her way, she silently mouthed “help me” multiple times.
Wallace is being praised after her “proactive” patrolling led to the rescue of a kidnapped getaway driver and a man wanted in connection with a shooting.
The officer caught the woman’s message and removed Collins Bates from the car who is black, placing him in the back seat of her patrol vehicle.
During his arraignment in court, Bates told the judge that he plans on filing a complaint against the cop for “stealing” the woman he had kidnapped, and for grand theft auto, for stealing the vehicle that he carjacked, and racial profiling.
