Today’s video find contains three things: a police vehicle, a dangerous individual and a high-speed run that could answer the question what would Grand Theft Auto look in real life. It all started on Friday, March 13 when 38-year-old Arthur Lee Thompson allegedly attempted to steal a computer from a Walmart store in Summerville, South Carolina. According to the report, when faced by the store manager, he purportedly punched him in the mouth and took off in a green Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The police were called in to investigate and it didn’t take long for an officer to locate Thompson and pull him over. From there on, the entire incident was caught on film by the police cruiser’s inboard camera.
As you can see in the video footage released by the Summerville police, the suspect was acting erratically and attacked the officer who tased him not once, but twice. However, the taser had no affect on Thompson who simply pulled out the stun gun barbs. The suspect then managed to jump away and steal the officer’s Dodge Charger police car!
The inboard camera shows Thompson driving through red lights and performing dangerous maneuvers on the road until a landscaping truck put an end to his escapade. Both Thompson and the driver of the truck were transported to the hospital for minor injuries.
According to the police, the toxicology report showed that the 38-year-old man tested positive for the presence of cocaine base in his system. The incident report also stated that at the hospital, Thompson continued to act aggressively towards the police yelling “You cops are *ussies. Let me up from here and I’ll show you what I can do” and “I’ll *uck you up”. He then shouted, “If you don’t get these (restraints off me, I’m gonna hurt myself and turn this bed over”, and spit at one of the officers.
Upon discharge from the hospital, he was led to the police station where he was charged with several offenses including reckless driving, robbery, assault on a police officer while resisting arrest, grand larceny, and possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a crime of violence.
