Watch the full video for the wild twist as the suspect spills tea, flexes honesty, and deals with real time legal drama. >> She um we have our student cash throughout the course of the session this year, >> multiple occasions. Are you the supervisor or >> she is the loss protection? >> Okay. >> So, everything crime related, that's one of them over here. >> Okay. All right. >> They will make every decision you have to make. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. Um, let me go grab a book. >> You don't need anything. She has everything here. >> Okay. >> They don't they don't take care of book booklets anymore. >> Okay. >> Cuz they already have a stack this much. >> Okay. >> Um, she writes her own statement. >> Okay. >> So, he actually has a digital statement. >> Okay. >> You still have to review this statement. >> Um, you know, make sure she enters all the information there. Like anybody else, they're human beings. Sometimes they're typing, they forget something. Mhm. >> And then uh normally she will print you your copy. >> She will print your copy and then >> where which one she's at? >> Where she at? >> She's with someone. Yeah, she's still >> okay. >> Hello. Good evening. How are you? >> Hi. How are you? Let me get out of y'all's way. I'm sorry. >> Thank you. >> Good evening. >> Huh? I'm officer Gonzalez with Orlando Police. >> I'm Officer Wallace. >> That's my partner, Officer Wallace. >> Uh, what is your name? >> Mariana Han. >> Hannah. >> You have your ID with you? >> It's in the car. >> It's in the car. >> Okay. Um, >> do you know why we're here? >> I do. >> Yeah. Okay. So, uh, you're not under arrest or anything, but under Florida law, every time I go talk to somebody, I have to read their Miranda rights. Right. Uh, I'm sure you've seen in TV shows and stuff, so like I said, you're not under arrest. You're good. Take your time. Is that your water? If you want to take a sip of water or anything, you can take the sip of water. Um, I'll read your uh uh your constitutional rights, your Miranda rights. If you have any questions at any mean, just at any minute, just to stop me and I'll explain it to you, okay? Do anything to get you to talk to me. No. Okay. >> All right. How old? >> 24. >> 21. >> 24. >> 24. >> The scene was messy from the jump. Officers were all up in that evidence grind, trying to make moves off solid proof. Even the small admin stuff like checking statements showed flaws. Cops stayed pro and kept the things under control, but the employee being real from the jump made the whole case hella complicated. >> Any kids? Anything? No. Who do you live with? your fans. You You're from Orlando or um Okay. So, we got called here for allegations of some missing money, right? I'm assuming Macy's already talked to you about it. So, I'm here to get your side of the story of what happened, right? Um I'm usually pretty up forward and I'm honest to the person. That's why I tell you like, you know, there's no secret to why I'm here. Okay. How long you've been working for Macy's? >> It would be four months. >> Four months. And what is your job here at Macy's? >> Sung associate and sunglass line. >> Sunglass. So, you sell sunglasses. Okay. Uh, and um, part of your duties as associate at Sunglass Hut. Do you do cash transactions when you sell sunglasses? Okay. So, the allegations that Macy's is doing is that it's been some discrepancy on your cash register, right? Are you aware of that? Can you tell me what happened? >> Um, to keep it short, I mean, I took a few times money from register. You took money from the register. Do you have any idea how many times? >> A few times. >> A few times. We're talking three. We're talking 10. We're talking 50. >> Oh, it's less than 10. >> Less than 10. >> And do you know how much money it took? >> 2100. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Well, that's what they're saying. >> How much you think it took? >> I estimated under 000 >> under a thousand. >> Okay. Uh like on the times that you took, what was the largest amount you ever took in one day? >> 400. >> 400. And then what was the least amount you took in one day? >> I think it was like $60. >> 60 bucks. How how you were doing? >> How? >> Yeah. Um, >> like you were waiting till the end of the day or when the customer hand you the money, you then put inside the register or how do you do? >> No, it was whenever I close or open the register >> when you're closed or open the register >> and then you will take the money out. >> So if it wasn't closing, I'll take it from the deposit. >> What is What do you mean by the deposit? Like the money that you would have sent it to another employee to make the bank deposit. Yes. Or like here at Macy's, we would go upstairs and we would like throw it into like this mail thingy. >> Mhm. >> And I guess they send it out to somebody or something >> like it like we'll put in a bag in the deposit bag. >> Okay. And then when you put on deposit bag, do you seal that bag? >> Officers were collecting info hard, but the chick's vibe was so calm, reporting her own theft like she had just earned a gold medal or something. The officer had to figure out what the hell was actually running through her head or did she expect a medal for honesty or a award for confessing? >> Yeah. Okay. So, because this is where why I'm asking some of those questions. Okay. And I I appreciate your honesty. I appreciate you're telling me that you took some of the money, but I hate uh saying like, "Hey, you know, it's $2,100, right? As Macy's is saying, $2,100, but you're saying, "Hey, it's I estimate less than a,000." So, I want to make sure there's no other person involved on this. >> Oh, no. >> That couldn't be even without my knowledge. Taking that money later. >> I mean, without my knowledge, I wouldn't know. >> Right. That's why I'm saying like I want to make sure like your bags were always sealed, right? Like when you did your deposit cuz like I never worked for Maces, right? But all my young ages. So, I work for other stores and I actually work for a bank at one point and I'm assuming it's kind of pretty similar to what you have here. So, like when I work on a bank, at the end of the day, they call you batch, right? Which you count your money and then you put all that information and your computer system is supposed to match. Okay? He's supposed to have $3,000 cash. When you count your money, it puts in there. Yes, it matched $3,000 cash. And then we take all that money out. We actually had it to put in order. If it was like $2,000, we were supposed to all hundreds were supposed to wrap it in $2,000. And then we put on the seal envelope that I seal. And I also had to initial the envelope. And then I go to the drawer, which is like the chute we call where you put your money and then you close. >> Yeah. That's what I was talking about. The little melting thing upstairs. I call it a melting thing, but like a little shoot. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So after when you close when you close your your money like your account your money how much average money you had a day >> that varied a lot cuz I mean there are some days where there is no deposit some days where >> like all your sales were like credit cards and stuff like that. >> And then but what is the like I'll say what is the largest amount you ever had on your drawer >> like in total? Yeah. >> Like on your sales, right? You're do you have a minimum amount that you start? >> Yeah. 300. >> You start with 300. >> And then whatever you sell cash, then it's >> that's the deposit. >> The amount plus the 300. >> Well, I don't know if it's plus the 300. >> Well, but you send that 300 back or you keep that 300 on your drawer. >> No. So, the drawer itself always >> has 300 >> has to have $300. So then if there's more than $300 when there's cash payments throughout the day, >> then that's the deposit that we would, you know, put in the shoe. >> So that every day will be $300 to register morning, night, you know. >> So if you had no sales, you had $300. >> Weak spots in the cash flow and deposit handling started showing fast. But let's be real, slacking on checks and balances doesn't give anyone a free pass to pull off fraud. and the nerve of this chick. She really thought a few fake tears would wash away the mess she made. >> Correct. >> Right now, if you sold $1,500 in cash, then you would have a total of $18, which is the 300 plus the 1500. >> I believe that's how it works. >> Yeah. >> All right. Why are you doing this? >> Like I told them it's for school to pay out of pocket. Um >> you're paying for college. >> Yeah. So, I did get a scholarship, but there's parts where I have to pay it back. And I have an upcoming trip. I know it sounds stupid, but I have an upcoming trip next month, and I'm short on money on that. >> Where are you going? >> Cancun. >> For how long? >> A week. >> A week. Going with friends, family. >> With my boyfriend. >> Um, what do you where are you going to school at? >> Valencia. >> Valencia College. What are you thinking? >> What? >> Yeah. What? It's medical assistant with EKG. >> Oh, perfect. >> How far are you in? >> I just started. >> How long is the program? >> Um, it's an accelerated course, so it's like four months. >> Oh, those are hard. >> Yeah. Um, and it's two days a week, but I'm using that as a stepping stone to like do nursing later on. >> That's I mean, it's probably one of the best industries. >> I wish I had a thought and went to the medical fields test. It's hard. >> It is hard and I don't know if I can do it. >> So, but it's a beautiful profession. I'll tell you that. >> You know, it's I think it's extremely rewarding. So, I see every day like we go to hospitals every day. We see people every day. So, I have my kids in the hospital at times and I'll tell you like it's extremely rewarding. It's a beautiful profession. Uh I hope you can continue especially if that's your dream. I hope you can continue and uh succeed cuz it's it's amazing. Uh how much are you paying for school? Like how much money you're short? >> Sorry. I'm like 6,000. Sure. >> 6,000. How much is the program? Oh my god. >> It's okay. Take your time. >> Sorry. [Music] I totally understand. Believe me. >> It's over. It's over. >> So you got like tuition for like 40% of it. That's still quite a lot of money. I paid myself through the police academy and the police academy cost me 5k, you know, and to me that was a lot. Officers were quietly piecing the puzzle together while she rambled about scholarships and trips. It screamed broke student chaos. But seriously, how does that justify playing fast and loose with other people's money? Struggling ain't a crime, but scamming your way out of it. That's where sympathy stops and stupidity takes the wheel. >> You know, the only difference that the police academy is full-time, so it's extremely hard for you to work. So, I had to work most weekends and stuff and I 100% understand, you know, what you're having to go through. Um, do you had any plans to stop? What was your goal like besides the trip? And like it was like when once you paid off your college, that was when you were kind of like going to stop or >> I was going to stop after the last >> the one from yesterday. How much was the one from yesterday? >> 100. 100. [Music] >> Do you regret >> at any point you thought as you were doing like I can't get caught and I can't go to jail? Um, is there anything that I forgot to ask that you want to add that you think is important? Anything on your side or anything that I miss? No. U would you like to write apology letter to Mes? Can I say >> uh prefer uh in writing just because it's easier because I'll have to turn all this information to a judge and it's easier for the judge to see in writing than have to watch my entire body cam. You have zero obligations in doing it. >> Okay. If you don't want to do it, that's fine. You know, uh um that's this is 0% obligation. I only ask I normally give the opportunity to everybody once I they I see that they have some remorse that have some regret of doing just for you know for court purpose but if you don't want to do one now you can always do one later you can actually if we get the chance to go in front of the judge you can tell and talk to the judge over there that's up to you >> yeah I'll wait >> that's that's okay >> so what's like the whole like >> the process right now. Okay. I'm going to go get uh her side of the story again. I want to see like everything that she has, her statement, the evidence, and everything. And then um we're going to go from there. Uh most likely, you know, and you're probably going to be going to jail today. Okay. You will have a bond. Uh you'll be able to make phone calls and everything from the jail to get your family to help you out, to bond you out. Uh you're also allowed to bond yourself out if you have any cash or card, but uh based on the little that I already saw. >> All her crocodile tears and half-baked excuses didn't buy her an inch of freedom. Even if those tears were real and the guilt finally hit, it didn't matter because the damage was done. The officer lined up every piece of evidence, spelling out exactly what her choices had cost her. And then came the grand finale, her cuffwearing ceremony, the only event she truly earned that day. >> And if continues that they are willing to prosecute, my hands are tied on that. I have no choice but to take the job today. >> So, who has the same >> Maces? They are the victims of the crime. So I'm I'm just the the the mitigator here. And you know as uh as for the law works every time there is a crime the decision comes from the vict uh from the victim with few exceptions right and those few exceptions I mean domestic violence homicide and stuff like that. Homicides because the victim can't right. So on this case which is a theft you being charged with theft. Um, and then uh the the victim is Macy's. So I know they were making a couple phone calls to their superiors and stuff to trying to get the final decision. If the decision is made to prosecute you, then I'll be taking you to Orange County Jail for processing. Okay, let me finish with them. My partner's going to stay here and I'll be right back. Okay. >> You have any questions? >> No. Oh, that's a dripping thing. What's your name again? >> Brianna, do you mind standing up for me, please? Is this your uh phone? >> Okay. All right. Go ahead and stand up for me. All right. Place your hands behind your back. >> Can I make a call? Jimmy say you'll make a call when you get to the jail. >> We'll make a call. You going want to call your family or something? >> I'll help you with that. >> My boyfriend. >> That's fine. We'll do that. >> All right. >> Give me a We'll call him when we get to the jail. Uh before we go inside, >> yeah, I can I'll let you do that. Normally, I don't let people do that, >> but uh I will uh I will let you uh make the phone call. I'll help you out. You call from your phone and then you're allowed to take once the once you go inside the jail, they will allow you to take, I believe, up to three numbers out of your phone and have on a piece of paper to make more phone calls. And then over there, you can also make as many phone calls as you want. >> Sir, do we need any of this? >> N that's all Macy stuff. >> Everything was crystal clear now. And credit where it's due. The cops kept it smooth. No rough moves, no flexing power. Surprisingly, the girl was also quite cooperative. The girl got hauled into the back seat, paperwork wrapped up, and now it was straight to the station to face the music. >> Any questions for us? and >> thank you. >> Thank you everyone. Thank you. >> You guys request for >> Do you have anything on your locker here or do you have a locker or in a car. Do you have your car keys? >> Okay. All right. I'll get in in a minute. Um, just stand behind here. I'm going pat you down. I'll place you in the car. Do you have anything on you that that could possibly hurt me? Sick me. >> Face the car. Widen your stance about like two steps sideways out. Maybe big big steps. Right down just a little more. Thank you. You said you don't have anything on you. Correct. >> Correct. >> This is your your key. >> That's my chapstick. >> On this side. >> Hey, Sergeant, you mind getting uh I mean, you mind getting a bag, please? >> A paper bag, please. Just uh car keys >> and a chapstick. That's fine. Is your car uh parked close by? [Music] >> Baby, do me a favor. Do you know if I can? >> I don't know. Why do you stand again? >> What happened? >> Hello. >> What happened? What are you talking about? Hold on. What happened? >> I I got arrested. >> What? Why? >> What? >> You want me to explain your tone? >> Wait, what? >> Yes, sir. Officer, can you hear me? >> I I just [ __ ] up. >> What did you do? >> Hello? >> Yeah. Officer, can you explain it to me? >> So, >> but here's the real question. Did she actually steal the cash for her college educational trip? Or are you thinking what we're thinking? That maybe this was less about learning and more about funding a romantic getaway with her broke boyfriend. Drop your guesses below. I I'm not going to go in details of her case, uh, but I'll let I'll I'll >> Huh. >> So, it it was for a theft. Um, she is at the at the Orange County Jail right now at 33rd. Okay. So, I'm gonna when she go inside, she's going to write down your phone number. So, if you get in in a few I'll say probably like about 2 to 3 hours, if you get phone numbers from like the Orange County Jail, that will be her calling you. um you know just in case you see like an unknown number or something so you can help her out with the processes of uh bonding out or help her family with bonding her out. >> Wait from where? >> I'm sorry. >> Wait, what happened? Where did she What happened? What type of >> So again, I'm not going to go in detail. She's a little bit emotional right now. That's why she's not being able to speak with you. I will let her explain it to you later. Um, but >> you say Orange County Jail. Where is that at? Is it >> It's a J. Yeah, it's a JP near the the the highway near I4. >> Okay. Orange County Jail. JP. >> Yeah, it's it's off John Young Parkway. I mean, the if you look up the if you look up the address online, it gives you like Vision, I think either Vision or 33rd as the address, but it is the one right here. Once you come out of I4, you you see the building here. Okay. All right. So, you said by the time I should get there, she'll be processing stuff. >> Yeah, she >> I don't know how much her bond is cuz I'm not done. I'm not done the paperwork yet. So, give me about 2 or 3 hours. About 3 hours for her to be processed. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. Bye-bye. >> You want to say something? No. Okay. By the end, she landed in jail for what was supposed to be her law learning trip. Oh, the irony. Hopefully, after some quiet time behind bars, she picks up a few brain cells and figures out that the law doesn't care about your broke pocket or your Saabb story. You earn your dreams by grinding for them, not by taking shortcuts that land you in handcuffs. She was charged with a scheme to defraud over $300 in grand theft thirdderee and then booked inside Orange County Jail without further incident.
