Good Citizen Didn’t Know He Was Aiding Shoplifter
Item: When good intentions go bad: Liberty Lake man awaits charges after accidentally helping shoplifter get away /Meghann M. Cuniff, SR
More Info: It’s been two weeks since a Liberty Lake father of three spent the night in jail after police say he shoved a plainclothed security guard attempting to apprehend a shoplifter. Scott E. Hughes, 33, describes his interference as a mistake. He thought the shoplifter was an assault victim. But he disputes Spokane Valley police’s account of the scuffle and plans to fight criminal charges.
Question: Would you file charges against this guy, if you were in the authorities’ shoes?
