“Again you are splitting hairs.”

Nowhere in the article does it claim ‘at the same time.

Headline writers make their living on click-bait.

What the article does say is that before the officer got up to the vehicle the driver had stepped out of the car and the passenger had positioned himself behind the wheel. Thus they were both cited in a close enough time frame as to make it at the same time. While there most likely was a slight difference in time, it is so negligible as to be inconsequential.

Click bait on the other hand is so far off of reality that the intent is clearly one of misleading people in order for them to click on the article. In this case the arrests happened either simultaneously or serially close enough to make them considered at the same time. In other words, the 2nd person was not processed hours or even days later.
