NORTH COVENTRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Police have charged a woman working as a loss prevention officer for Kohl’s at the Coventry Mall with assault of a local photographer.
Sarah Roller, 36, from Collegeville, reported she saw a man in his vehicle taking video of “police and her activity” while she was helping search for a suspect in a retail theft from Boscov’s, police said.
Roller is accused of approaching the photographer, Tom Kelly III, and attempted to take his camera “by force.” Kelly is a former Mercury staff photographer and frequently does work as a free-lancer for The Mercury and its related websites.
“During the struggle over the camera, the victim was struck in the face,” the report said. “He sustained an injury to his eye and is also being treated for neck and shoulder pain.”
