On January 30, Malcolm Ziglar was in his front yard with a friend. Fuquay-Varina police officers pulled up and within seconds both boys were handcuffed. They asked me if I was Malcolm and I said yes. And they said, Malcolm Ziglar? And I said, Yes. They said, Do you have any ID on you? And I said, No, and I was put in handcuffs, Malcolm said.
Malcolm and his dad bought a dirt bike on Facebook marketplace. The teenager fixed up the bike to resell it, never realizing they bought a stolen bike.
Ziglar s parents said officers ignored pleas from Malcolm to get his father. Malcolm s friend was released after he told police he was not involved in the sale.
