Apparently it’s an epidemic…
I recently authored a blog post about a Kansas man who enlisted the help of his girl’s co-workers (she is a corrections officer at the local jail) to stage his arrest at a time when she was on-duty so that he could surprise her with an engagement ring (please see: http://blog.criminallaw.miami/2016/12/man-conspires-with-cop-to-fake-his.html) and then it happened again, this time at a gas station in Mobile, Alabama…
Mobile Police, armed with unloaded stun guns, duped 28 y/o Shawna Blackmon into thinking that her boyfriend, 33 y/o Daiwon McPherson, was armed, on the run and being taken down while they were fueling up Daiwon’s motorcycle at a gas station on Friday night, December 9th, 2016.
Unbeknownst to Shawna, Daiwon had conspired with Mobile police officers to fake the felony arrest so that he could get down on a knee and propose to his sure to be terrified girlfriend in an elaborate stunt which was captured on film by their amused, and in-the-know, friends (you can watch the video by clicking here). Here’s how it went down…
Daiwon and Shawna were riding tandem with a group of friends, all on motorcycles, and after they pulled into a gas station police appeared, pulled out unloaded stun guns and demanded that Daiwon get on the ground. As Daiwon followed orders a terrified Shawna tried to diffuse the situation, and when the officers demand that he gives up his gun, instead of a weapon Daiwon pulled out an engagement ring.
Shawna, quickly going from being frightened to being overjoyed, could not hold back her tears, and she was quickly comforted by an officer.
Daiwon’s friend Tyler Colvin posted a video of the unorthodox marriage proposal on Facebook where he reportedly said that Daiwon had “created and fed” Shawna a story throughout the day so that she would believe him when he told her that they were on the run. Per Daiwon: “I really wanted to bring the bike life and the police together. I can’t believe I actually pulled this off.”; and per Shawna: “I was scared. I said he was going to jail, they are going to shoot him.”. Mobile Police Department Spokesman Terrence Perkins reportedly said that the department had received some negative comments about the stunt but that the positive feedback far outweighed the negative, adding that “It actually showed us outside the capacity of writing tickets. It showed that we do have a human side as well.” And now Shawna and Daiwon can…
