An internal investigation into the romantic cruiser ride kicked off in July 2018, shortly after Fort Pierce Police Officer Doug McNeal took 23-year-old Zachery Moellendick and 24-year-old Krista Leigh into custody for shoplifting at a Walmart. A search of the pair turned up stolen jewelry and a baby toy, so the officer arrested them and escorted the pair to his vehicle, according to an internal affairs report released on Friday.
