A Tullytown police officer suffered an injury while working to arrest a woman accused of erratically driving through the Walmart parking lot.
According to police paperwork, Stephanie Foundos, 32, tore though the pedestrian crossing area outside the Walmart before turning into a parking lane and crossing several rows of empty parking spaces at “unsafe speeds.” There was one store employee and several customers in the lot at the time of the incident early Saturday morning.
