Colerain Township police say a woman caught stealing from the Macy’s store at Northgate Mall ran over a security officer who was trying to stop her as she tried to get away.
Andy Demeropolis, of the Colerain Township police, said that one of the two security guards trying to stop the woman was on a bicycle.
“She continued to back up, then his bike got caught under the tire of the vehicle and he started screaming at her, “Please stop,’” said Demeropolis.
Demeropolis says she did not – and ran over both of his legs.
A number of people in the parking lot witnessed what happened and took down her license plate number. Many called 911 on their cellphones and police and emergency rescue personnel were immediately dispatched.
Police used the information from witnesses to track her to Lincoln Heights where she allegedly went inside a house there.
According to police, she refused to exit the ehouse and was hold up and refused all police commands so police had the SUV towed.
They also say that Macy’s had surveillance video of the woman.
In the meantime, they will gather enough evidence so that a judge can issue a warrant for her arrest.
Demeropolis says instead of facing a shoplifting charge, she now faces a felony robbery charge and felonious assault on the security officer.
