Kansas City, MO – This is the heartwarming story of Officers Melody Spencer and Kevin Schnell, who apprehended dangerous career criminal Sofia Salva, after seeing her “affix a fake temporary tag on her car’s back windshield”. When she was pulled over, she was arrested for “outstanding city warrants for mistreatment of children, trespassing, driving while suspended and other traffic violations”. In the videotaped confrontation, she can be seen attempting to convince the fine officers that she was three months pregnant, bleeding severely, and needed medical treatment, but veteran officers Spencer and Schnell know a con-job when they hear it; as Officer Schnell said, “She just gave me a line of excuses”. “I’m bleeding. I swear to my God,” Salva says. Schnell replies: “I don’t doubt that you’re possibly bleeding, but you got a lot more problems with us.” Salva says she continued to plead for help at the jail but still was ignored. The next morning, jailers let her go to a hospital after she passed a large blood clot. After she was released, she delivered a premature baby boy who died a minute after birth.
Well done, Officers, well done. We’ll all sleep better tonight, knowing that a dangerous felon was “nipped in the bud”, so to speak.
