Baltimore Corrections Officers Allegedly Looted 7-Eleven During Riots
Baltimore corrections officers Tamika Cobb and Kendra Richard were charged this week with looting a downtown 7-Eleven during riots over the death of Freddie Gray. The video above purportedly shows Richard carrying Slim Jims out of the store while Cobb stands by the door holding a bag of Tostitos.
Both women worked in facilities in downtown Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. Police reportedly arrested the pair based on a tip, which may have stemmed from the YouTube clip. The video was recorded April 25—the day that violence outside Camden Yards, a short walk from the 7-Eleven at Baltimore and Howard Streets, brought new national attention to the protests—and published on April 26.
Both women were charged with theft and burglary and are being held on $35,000 bail.
