'Being Black, I'm presumed guilty': Dallas shopper posts handcuffing video after being accused of stealing at Stonebriar


Ro Lockett thought the woman who complimented his children while in Finish Line and then wound up behind him at a T-Mobile store in Frisco's Stonebriar Centre was trying to hit on him.

He quickly discovered that the woman — a Finish Line employee — was scoping him out for a different reason earlier this week: She thought he was a thief. A Frisco police officer was waiting to handcuff Lockett and a friend when they left another sporting goods store.

"I'm just a dad out with his kids, buying things for them from several stores," said Lockett, 28. "And all of a sudden I'm in handcuffs."
