via Jezebel

A police officer is accused of attempting to rob money given to a family by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Ronald Harris, an officer with the Memphis Police Department, was arrested after he attempted to rob a woman at the Memphis International Airport. He was off-duty at the time, but STILL. According to a police report, Harris is accused of trying to steal a paper bag which contained some St. Jude’s t-shirts (probably not what he was after) and a pre-paid Visa credit card with $1500 on it. The card was for a family as part of their Make-a-Wish grant.

A Make-A-Wish volunteer arrived at the airport with the bag containing the card and t-shirts, ready to hand it over to the family. That’s when things got ugly. Harris reportedly arrived at the airport to rob the volunteer. (According to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, they do not know how Harris knew their volunteer would be at the airport with the money.) Harris tried to take the bag twice, but was thwarted by the father of the Make-A-Wish family.

Police say Harris head-butted the father and later fought with police who tried to apprehend him. Airport and Memphis Police struggled to get him into custody. He was so violent and resistant, he eventually had to be shackled with leg cuffs.
