Rescue of Woman who Mouthed ‘Help Me’ at Police Stop

In a stroke of luck, an observant police officer in South Carolina made a routine traffic stop that ended with the arrest of a suspect in an attempted murder and the rescue of a distressed woman. Officer Kayla Wallace of the Myrtle Beach Police Department pulled over a white Jeep that had run a red light. She noticed that the driver appeared to be in distress and mouthed the words “help me” when her male passenger was not looking. Wallace promptly took the male, identified as Collins Bates, 29, into custody and then returned to the driver, who revealed that Bates had forced her at gunpoint to drive him after allegedly shooting someone. Shortly afterward, a Be On the Lookout advisory described a man fitting Bates’ description who was involved in a shooting. He was charged with multiple offenses, including kidnapping and attempted murder. The police department’s Facebook page hailed Wallace’s swift-thinking and applauded her for her service to the community.
