FOLEY, Alabama -- An Arizona couple reportedly outraged by a Foley police officer's walk-through at an area Walmart last week was arrested after the man allegedly hit the officer and his wife jumped on him.



Anthony Scott Smith, 41, and his wife, Chrisanna Elizabeth Smith, 40, of Scottsdale, Arizona, were arrested Friday and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and second-degree assault on a police officer.

According to Lt. Thurston Bullock, the couple became irate when they saw Officer Caleb Bibby in Walmart shortly before 11 p.m. Friday. They approached him aggressively, accusing him of treason and of shopping on duty and telling the officer he was under federal investigation, Bullock said.

Bullock said Bibby was conducting a walk-through of the business. He said the officers are permitted to buy something during such walk-throughs, but it was unclear whether the officer made a purchase.

According to Bullock, the situation escalated as follows:

Miller suffered sprains and abrasions when he tackled Chrisanna Smith, according to Bullock.

The incident, which was posted on YouTube by an observer, is under review by the police department. "We review all uses of force regardless of what the force is," Bullock said, but added that it appeared that Bibby was justified in using the Taser.

This was the department’s first incident involving the use of a Taser, he said.

The Smiths were booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center Saturday and later released on bail totaling $5,600 each, according to jail records.

Bullock said he and several other officers had a run-in with the couple and another woman in a restaurant 3 weeks ago. The group entered the establishment and Anthony Smith approached Bullock, watched him, then hovered over him with his arms crossed and motioned liked he was eating. The group sat at a table behind the officers and then began screaming at a waitress when she told him that the restaurant doesn’t de-vein its shrimp. Smith then left the restaurant, Bullock said.
