College cheerleader gives excuse for driving into crowded street fair

An impatient BMW driver gave Maryland police an astonishing excuse for slamming into an officer and plowing her way through a crowded street fair over the weekend.

Kai DeBerry-Bostick, a 28-year-old former cheerleader at Bowie State University, was caught on police-worn body camera telling an unidentified cop she needed to get through the Main Street Festival in Laurel on Saturday morning so that she could go to work. 

In the shocking footage, which Laurel police shared online, DeBerry-Bostick – a Delaware native – could be seen behind the wheel of a BMW sedan as the cop apologizes for the inconvenience to her travel plans – and even offers to call a taxi for her to get to her job.

‘There has to be another way,’ DeBerry-Bostick laments, as she explains that she works in Virginia.

The officer then politely apologizes once again, as she appears to weigh her options.

‘I don’t need to come back, I just need to get out,’ she said. 

‘I need to get out, I need to get out,’ she repeats. ‘I got to go.’

At that point, DeBerry-Bostick exits her car and approaches a police barricade officers had put up to protect pedestrians enjoying the street fair. 

The officer was then seen pleading with DeBerry-Bostick to not move the barricade.

That did not seem to deter the former cheerleader, though, who claims she has to get past the barricade.

‘I got to go to work. What do you want me to do?’ she yells at the cop.

‘You cannot get out,’ he replies. ‘I cannot help you with that. Please do not disturb this area.’

‘I might have to,’ she shoots back, before ripping apart the yellow caution tape. 

She then gets back into her sedan – and proceeds to hit the officer as he calls for backup over the radio.

‘Stop! Stop your car!’ he yells at the entitled driver, as he manages to open the driver’s side door.

Still, DeBerry-Bostick continues to drive –  passing tents lined up along the street and almost into crowds of people as they check out the local vendors.

One couple is even seen trying to quickly pull their young child away from the oncoming car, as DeBerry-Bostick tells the pedestrians: ‘Excuse me, y’all.’ 

As she continued to drive down the busy road, residents on both sides of the street could be heard screaming.

Meanwhile, the officer she had been talking to continued to chase her BMW down the road, yelling: ‘Stop! Stop your car!’

The terrifying incident only ended when DeBerry-Bostick approaches a line of police officers, and the cop who was giving chase is able to catch up with her.

At that point, she was pulled from the vehicle and was handcuffed.

The officer she had hit sustained minor injuries, but law enforcement officials said they were able to detain her before she could hurt anyone else with her selfish act. 

According to her social media, DeBerry-Bostick was a Bulldog cheerleader and a member of the Zeta Delta sorority at Bowie State University in Maryland, from where she graduated in 2021 with a degree in accounting.

She was being held in custody following her arrest, is now facing charges of second-degree assault and resisting arrest, along with other charges related to violating traffic laws, according to WTOP.

It is unclear whether she has retained an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
