The store’s security cameras captured Lindsay sprinting through the busy store when an unidentified shopper pushed his cart in front of Lindsay who crashed to the ground, sending the contents of the cart flying across the store.
Officers caught up to Lindsay and arrested him for disorderly conduct, interfering with a peace officer and for violation of his parole.
“The suspect was not injured during his encounter with the shopping cart,” said police. “The unidentified shopper retrieved his cart, picked up his groceries and continued shopping.”
