Is This the Lamest Attempt to Arrest a Shoplifter You’ve Ever Seen?
PASADENA, CA - OCTOBER 15: Mannequins stand behind sale signs on a window in a shopping mall on October 15, 2008 in Pasadena, California. U.S. retail sales in September plummeted by the largest amount in three years, with the Commerce Department reporting that retail sales dropped 1.2 percent, almost twice the 0.7 percent drop that had been expected. It is the biggest decline since August 2005 when retail sales fell 1.4 percent. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
Two plainclothes “loss prevention officers” in Chattanooga, Tennessee . . . one male and one female . . . were filmed completely bungling their attempt to handcuff a female shoplifter. She keeps wriggling away, and even gets the guy in a headlock.
She eventually breaks free and takes off running into the mall . . . and was arrested later.
