Tampa News 8: HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — Two people were arrested on suspicion of stealing and burglarizing cars in Hillsborough County after they tried fleeing deputies in one of the cars on Tuesday, authorities said.
Ashley McCabe, 35, and Brian Martin, 35, are facing multiple charges including burglary and grand theft, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said they spotted the pair sitting in a stolen Audi at the Wawa on Hillsborough Avenue and Hanley Road. When deputies tried to stop them, Martin hit the gas and rammed the Audi between two patrol cars. Deputies did not say whether any deputies were hurt or how much damage this caused. Deputies said Martin continued driving northbound, then got out of the car and started running while McCabe stayed in the passenger seat. She was arrested, then deputies eventually caught up with Martin, and he was placed under arrest. Conservatives continue to insist there’s no such thing as “white privilege” in this country, even though we know that if this had been a black couple they both would have been shot dead. As of yet, no American law enforcement agency has bothered to answer why it is that white criminals can do shit like this without getting shot, but police officers insist they “can’t do their jobs” if they aren’t repeatedly let off the hook for immediately opening fire on anyone they spot who commits the offense of being “black in public”.
