When Houchin saw the officers, he laid down on the floor and told them that he was a fugitive and had felony warrants. The officers handcuffed him and determined he was indeed wanted on a several warrants, including ones for burglary and theft.

Officers found the second person, 24-year-old Brittany O'Daniel, in the back of the store.

Police say when the officer tried to take her into custody, O'Daniel threw a boxed space heater at him and then tried to walk away.

The officer told O'Daniel to get on the ground several times, but she continued to walk away so the officer used his Taser on her. She was then taken into custody without further incident.
