Most of the time, it needs to be a felony. Shoplifting diapers isn’t a felony. They may try to throw some sort of “she made the officers fear for their lives by driving away from them” BS at her to charge her with a felony assault… But just the shoplifting wouldn’t be enough for those laws to apply.
I saw a john oliver on this. They put a guy away for giving his car keys to a friend who then used the car in a burglary where they shot a guy. So I think the bar is low in a lot of states. Someone else said the diapers weren’t stolen, but I am sure they will ring her up for failure to obey an officer or using a vehicle as a deadly weapon, then smack on that other charge who’s name I forget.
