If suspect #2 was charged with vehicle theft, how could suspect #1 be charged with filing a false report?
i love this...SPD now doing press releases on the actions of the WCSO...hopefully this begins the merge of the 2 agencies
Wilson what a Dumb ASS. He should of also been issued a citation for leaving a vehicle unattended while running.
Looks to me like the investigating officer(s) didn't believe the story that either guy was giving them. It appears like the old shotgun approach was taken: throw all the sh t in the bag against the wall and what sticks to the wall in the end is what they'll proceed to court with. Hint: If you haven't already done so and the store has a security camera outside viewing the vehicles that pull up to the front of the store, see if the footage shows suspect #1pulling up to the store as he reported.
And I agree with the other poster, charge the guy with leaving an unattended vehicle. There was nothing I enjoyed doing more, especially on winter days then driving through shopping centers and into parking lots of convenience stores looking for the freaking morons that kept their vehicles running while they ran into the store. For those never in law enforcement that think better things could be done with an officer's time, besides the obvious risks of leaving an unattended vehicle running, if a robbery of the establishment, or other crime occurred in the immediate area, and the suspect(s) were initially on foot, some helpful motorist has just provided the bad guys with a getaway vehicle, all warm and cozy inside and ready to go. Now instead of looking for suspects on foot, a potentially fatal chase could now ensue. There's usually a good reason for everything a patrol officer does, except think he/she's is above the law by exceeding the speed limit while on routine patrol.
