“Two people have been arrested after dragging a police officer following an alleged shoplifting incident in Stoneham Monday morning, authorities said.

Officers were called to the Famous Footwear on Main Street around 11 AM after clerks said a suspect, later identified as 39-year-old James Rogers of Mashpee, engaged in a verbal confrontation and fled the store in a gray Kia sedan with several items, according to a release issued by the department.

Officers conducting a detail on Montvale Avenue spotted the car, allegedly driven by 37-year-old Marquise Henry, of Dorchester, and attempted to stop it.

The vehicle struck and dragged one of the responding officers a short distance down the street, according to the release. That officer was not seriously hurt.
