The suspect wanted for striking a Montgomery County police officer last month is also wanted for several Home Depot store thefts in Maryland and Washington, D.C., police said.
On Friday, the Montgomery County Police Department released photos of the man who they say injured an officer in a Wegmans parking lot at 20600 Seneca Meadows Parkway in Germantown on April 27.
Police said last month, officers responded to the Wegmans for the report of a theft in progress. Police said the man put items in his cart and left the store without paying.
When approached by officers, police said the "suspect quickly ran towards his vehicle" and while driving away he struck an officer with the driver's side of the vehicle. The officer was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
After further investigation, the police department stated the man also stole merchandise from several Home Depot stores in Maryland and D.C.
