In a \u201cWay to Go Wednesday\u201d post on its Facebook page, the North Myrtle Bech Police Department praised one of its officers for her heroic actions when she saw a woman silently begging for help in a car at a traffic stop.<\/p>\n
Beginning the post, the department described why the officer, Officer Wallace, was in the situation and able to rescue the woman from her kidnapper, noting that she stopped the vehicle because it blew through a red light, and then approached the vehicle and its two occupants after pulling it over. \u201cOn May 28th, around 5:30 am, Officer Wallace was patrolling US Hwy 17 in North Myrtle Beach when she observed a white jeep disregard a red light at an intersection. Officer Wallace conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle. She observed a female driver and a male passenger when she approached the vehicle<\/em><\/p>\n ,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n Continuing, the post noted that Officer Wallace observed the kidnapped woman mouthing \u201chelp me\u201d at a point when the male in the car was distracted, noting that the female driver appeared distressed during the traffic stop. \u201cAs she spoke with the vehicle\u2019s occupants, she noticed the driver appeared distressed. While the male passenger wasn\u2019t looking at the driver, the female silently mouthed \u201cHelp Me\u201d repeatedly,\u201d the post claimed.<\/p>\n So, Officer Wallace acted quickly once seeing the woman silently begging for help, getting the male passenger out of the vehicle before he could do anything to injure the driver or herself, getting him restrained in the back of her patrol vehicle so she could figure out what was going on. \u201cOfficer Wallace observed the driver\u2019s message and removed the passenger from the vehicle, placing him in the back seat of her patrol car,<\/em>\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n Continuing, the post then noted that the female driver, once no longer in the grip of the tyrant in the passenger\u2019s seat, \u201cfrantically\u201d told the officer that the passenger had shot someone moments before the officer received a report from the department that there was a shooter in the county. \u201cShe then went back to the suspect vehicle and spoke to the female driver, who frantically advised that the passenger had just shot someone. Moments later, a \u201cBolo\u201d (Be On the Look Out) was sent over the radio from dispatch regarding a vehicle that was just involved in a shooting in the county<\/em>\u201d it said<\/p>\n Ending the post, the department praised Officer Wallace for her vigilance at the end of her shift, particularly when it came to noticing that something was up with the vehicle when it blew through the light and in noticing that the driver of the stopped vehicle was silently begging for help. It said: \u201cDue to Officer Wallace proactively patrolling the streets of North Myrtle Beach, even to the last 30 minutes of her shift, a suspect in a shooting was arrested and an unlawfully carried pistol was recovered underneath the suspect\u2019s seat. Our department and our community is lucky to have Officer Wallace.
