Two men from Atlantic City, New Jersey, are facing a long list of charges following a violent shoplifting arrest in the city Monday afternoon. The Atlantic City Police Department says two of their officers responded to Bass Pro Shop for the report of two men shoplifting.
According to a press release, at 2:35 pm, Officers Gabriel Chevere and Syed Shah responded to the Bass Pro Shop for a report of two men shoplifting items, including a handgun magazine.
The officers attempted to place Marquis Harison in custody, but he pulled away from the officers and a violent fight ensued.
While attempting to place Harison in custody, he began to punch Officer Chevere in the face, and dropped a handgun to the ground during the struggle.
