Lieutenant Robin Roberts of the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department had the day off Sunday and went to Walmart to do some shopping with his Bride.
When they entered the Store the alarm went off and a black male was running towards the exit at full speed with a empty shopping cart. Somewhat confused, Lt. Roberts identified himself but the man continued running out of the store. Lt. Roberts chased the man to his vehicle where the man rammed Lt. Roberts with the shopping cart and dumped packages of meat into the trunk, got into the vehicle and hit Lt. Roberts with the car injuring his knee and hip and ultimately ran over his foot, (so I'm told).
Witnesses claimed the man then tried to run Lt. Roberts over with his vehicle again and sped out of the parking lot. Lt. Roberts was able to call it in and Salisbury Police found the vehicle along with Sheriff's Deputies and the man was arrested. No word if the meat ended up back on the shelf again for resale, (just kidding).
I did speak with Lt. Roberts who confirmed this story. He was taken away in an Ambulance and was found not to have any broken bones. You know something Folks. I don't EVER want to hear another person bellyaching about any other Police Officer having an OFF DUTY VEHICLE!
These guys are ON DUTY 24/7 until they die or retire. Thank You Lt. Roberts! Lt. Roberts also ran for the Sheriff's position and has been a Police Officer for I think about 97 years now, LOL.
May you heal in time for Bike Week and the Department needs you back ASAP.
