So, what are they charging me with? >> Um, criminal trespass due to the barring and uh shoplifting. Obviously, I don't know how many counts that you have, whether it be a misdemeanor or a felony. I think it's up to like four. You have to shoplift like four or five times before it's a felony. >> It's not that bad. >> Okay. So, it just be a misdemeanor shoplifting. >> Will you think I can buy this today? >> I should be able to. I don't know. It's already 9 9:30 at night. I don't know, ma'am. Charges are clarified misdemeanor retail theft and criminal trespassing, not a felony unless she had multiple prior shoplifting convictions. Trying to hide unpaid items, even if you plan to buy them later, is still shoplifting in the eyes of the law. Bad choices not only bring legal trouble, but also risk hurting your family who depend on you. After you see the next case, you may want to think twice. It's shocking.

Where did it come from? >> From working. >> You had it the whole time. >> Working wise >> again. She told us that she got it from our parents. So any more lies? >> She's a She's a 20-year-old woman. >> Or do you want to like >> And she's scared. >> She's no reason to lie to us. >> She's scared of every one of y'all. >> Oh, that's it. >> Pointing guns at her. >> The problem with this guy's story was that his girlfriend didn't seem nervous in the slightest. In fact, her ability to tell blatant lies to armed police officers without even a flicker of anxiety bordered on sociopathic. Maybe your last opportunity to come come clean. Your boyfriend completely different. Not one thing that you said that you told us matches. Not one thing. Not lying to you at all. He came up with a completely different story on how you guys came to be in this house. So, and he says that you're not lying, but he's not lying. And obviously that doesn't work, right? >> Yeah, that doesn't make sense. >> So, how did you pay? >> So, he said we don't have to pay until the 16th because I don't get paid to the 16th. >> So, you haven't paid any? >> No, not yet.

That background made it much easier for him to spot the holes in the suspect's stories. >> Okay. Do you understand? I don't believe anything you're saying. You've already lied once. Now you're lying again. Okay. And you're not even out any money on. So nobody just lets people stay without paying especially renting that's like guaranteed you pay first months last month's round.

Do you have anything on you that's going to poke us or stick us? >> I just have a bait in my pocket. Okay, when we get over here, we'll uh >> Both the man and the woman were charged with scheme to defraud and burglary of an unoccupied dwelling. The man also faced arrest for a probation violation stemming from a previous burglary charge. And just for the record, he never got to eat that pizza he ordered.
