One more thing the driver did was critical in catching a criminal. When the passenger wasn’t watching, the driver mouthed “help me” over and over again to Officer Wallace who immediately moved the passenger to the back of her patrol car.

Once the passenger was locked in the patrol car, Officer Wallace went back to talk to the driver. According to the driver, the passenger had shot someone and forced her to drive the getaway car at gunpoint. She explained that she was so scared that she didn’t notice that the light was red, and that’s why she ran the light.

Moments later, a Be on the Lookout (BOLO) was sent out for a white Jeep, a vehicle which matched the description of the one Officer Wallace pulled over. In addition, the BOLO also described a man involved in a shooting who matched the description of the passenger in the back of Officer Wallace’s patrol car.
