This body cam footage starts with what
sounds like a simple fast food
complaint, but within minutes it spirals
into racial comments, threats, possible
intoxication, and multiple DUI arrests.
Officers arrive expecting a customer
service dispute over McDonald's fries
and nuggets. Instead, they walk into a
rapidly escalating situation where
emotions, alcohol, and bad decisions
collide.
Watch closely as officers repeatedly try
to de-escalate the encounter while
Nicole keeps digging herself deeper. And
the wildest part? This wasn't even the
end of the night. Stay until the end
because the second arrest completely
changes the tone of this entire case.
>> How's your mom?
>> Miss, hi. This is
uh Sergeant Pennington with the
Arlington Police Department on a
recorded line. May I speak to Nicole,
please?
>> This is Nicole.
>> How can I help you, Nicole?
>> Um I went to McDonald's and I tried to
order food.
And then
they didn't give me my food.
They said I was being rude, and I'm
like, "Well, you know what? Like, you're
kind of being rude for not giving me my
food."
And I paid for it.
And then I said, "What are you, illegal
or something?" Like you know, I did say
that. And then they're like, "Oh!" And
then everyone runs up. Blah blah blah.
And I'm like, "But can I have my food?"
They're like, "No, you can't have your
food. We're calling the police." And I'm
like, "Well, I'm going to call the
police first."
Like, I So I never got my food.
>> Okay. So you just need to get reimbursed
for I'm I'm sure they're going to tell
us that they don't want your business.
So
>> Well, you know what? I Like
they don't really they shouldn't really
have that, right? I mean, because I
didn't really do anything wrong.
Like they were being rude to me, and I I
was rude back and I don't I just don't
think that like you can just like we pay
for food and then you don't get food
like
like I don't and half of them are
probably not even legal honestly like
so go check their IDs like that's what I
would recommend.
>> Okay. What what
>> go check their IDs and then
>> We're not allowed to do that in our
state.
Unfortunately.
>> Excuse me?
>> We're not allowed to do that in our
state.
>> That's some bull
like that's why everyone needs guns like
there's people up I'm so sick of it.
I got I got a huge car accident from a
illegal Mexican who didn't have car
insurance and his interpreter said oh I
went to Mexico like
>> So Yeah.
Do do
>> of it.
>> Do you do you want like I'm trying to
figure out how I can help you Nicole. I
know I I know you're not
>> I know you're not happy at McDonald's
but then there's like this one white
dude with big ears that obviously was
like has no friends you know. So he's
like don't be friends with the Mexicans
which I am too. I used to mentor
Mexicans. I have a lot of Mexican
friends I have a lot of black friends
blah blah blah but like all I want is
some McDonald's.
>> Yeah I can't get I I can't get your food
back.
>> Huh?
>> I can't get your food back for I I can't
make them give you food.
>> Well you got to do something because
these people are complete nuts.
>> Well what what if you're not happy with
the way that you were treated there then
you need to go to management.
And talk to That's what I said. I said
I'm going to call your
boss.
>> Mhm.
>> And I'm going to sue you guys I don't
I've never sued anyone but I've done
I've done a couple but it's like you
can't just hire illegal Mexicans
with fake IDs and then like and then
like have them act like trend they walk
and then like you know not give you your
food
after you pay for it because they think
we're Mexico, but we're not in Mexico.
We're in Washington.
We're in We're in America, okay?
So, they're like, "We're going to call
the cops." And I'm like, "I'm going to
call the cops, you little
>> All right. Well, I'm I'm sorry
Yeah. Well,
>> Yes, I'm at home. I don't drive drunk
like you people are crazy. And I'm about
to go
>> Yeah, my my suggestion is to
talk to somebody
in management with your issues.
>> Well, they're not Mexican, too. They're
They're not even Mexican. They're like
from El Salvador. Like,
I'm about to I'm about to just cap
people. Like, if if people go missing,
like, it's me.
>> Okay. Well, it seems sounds like you
have a bigger issue than just not
getting your McDonald's.
>> It's
It's a It's a joke, but yes,
some people have a sense of humor, some
people don't. You know what I mean?
>> Uh-huh. Okay. Well, I'm sorry I couldn't
help you today, Nicole.
>> Well, yeah. Well, maybe next Maybe next
time you can help me.
>> Maybe.
Hey.
>> Hi.
>> Are you Nicole?
>> Yes. I was trying to get my food, and
they wouldn't give it to me.
>> Yeah, I'm the officer you were speaking
to on the phone.
>> Yeah.
>> I thought we
I I thought I made my point clear that
it wasn't going to happen the fact that
you were getting your food today.
>> Oh,
I didn't know that that was the actual
case.
I thought maybe Like,
maybe they wouldn't or they would, you
know?
>> Okay.
Um
No, I I mean, I
>> I can go to Burger King, but I was kind
of offended because
I just didn't
>> Well, your language is offending the
them as well. I I hope you understand
that.
>> Okay, well, I'll try to be nicer, but
they were offending me, and so
I
Like, I'm not
I'm not racist. I live in Orange County,
the Compton, and
Watts, East LA. Like, I'm not a mean
person.
>> Mhm.
>> I'm not racist, but I don't like when
people are rude to me.
>> Right.
>> And so, like, I kind of got offended,
um, and so, I probably said things that
like maybe I shouldn't have, but
um
I'm also sick of illegals. I got in a
huge car accident from an illegal
Mexican who shattered my windshield,
almost killed me, got had no car
insurance,
>> Okay.
>> only got a ticket.
I got hit in a drunk driving Mexican. I
freaking
>> Mhm.
>> got assaulted by a Cuban. I'm just like
sick of these people. And now they're
just like running running rampant over
here. And I'm not even racist, but it's
just like
I just want my food.
>> Okay.
>> You know?
>> Right.
>> Um, so I'll go to Burger King for
whatever.
>> is a private business, and they can
choose who their customers are and who
they aren't, just as well as you can
choose to where you spend your money. If
you don't like the service that they
have here, or the way they treat you,
>> It's like, dude, like
like
whatever.
But yeah, you're right.
>> So, did you end up Have you paid them?
>> Yeah, I I just want a refund, I guess.
Like, I I just want a chicken nuggets
and a cheeseburger and then some french
fries. It's like
>> Okay. How much did you pay them?
>> Probably like 10 bucks. I don't know.
Like
It's not even that big of a deal. It's
just kind of the principle for me, like,
really, like I'm
>> Mhm.
>> Right.
>> And half of them are illegal, and it's
like
who's going to deal with that? Like, go
arrest them.
And I'm the one that's a problem paying
for a
meal.
>> Mhm.
>> And they're half of them aren't even
probably legal.
Cuz it's private owner, like
I'm just sick of this
>> Okay.
>> Well, I'm going to go to Burger King.
Go home.
I'm just annoyed, like, and I want a
refund. I definitely want a refund.
>> Have you Have you had any alcohol to
drink today?
>> No.
>> Okay.
I'm just trying to think about why
something like this could be into such a
>> a lot of trauma.
>> I I understand that. You've told me
that, so that that helps me put that in
the perspective. Would you like me to go
talk to the management there to see if I
could
facilitate some understanding of what's
going on here today?
>> At this point, I think that I should
just go to Burger King
because I feel like
their management has
a problem. It's probably I'm going to
call the corporate.
>> Okay.
>> You know what I mean?
>> I kind of thought that's where we were
on the phone, and it wasn't until I got
here that you decided you're going to go
to Burger King now. So, I'm just trying
to figure out
Do you want that closure with them?
>> There's no point because they're like
all illegal, so it's like, what's the
point, you know? They're not going to be
honest about anything.
>> Okay, but
like
I'm sure not every employee in there is
>> there's like at least two.
>> Okay.
But you think they're treating you the
way that they are because they're
like they're biasing their you against
the color of your skin.
>> I think that they
I just I just think that they don't
have very good values and that they're
not treating me well.
>> What for?
>> I don't think they I just don't think
their values are very good. That's it.
>> Okay.
>> So.
>> Well, I mean many of them are working
really hard at a very low-paying job.
>> I
work really hard, too.
>> Okay. I'm not saying you're not.
>> I'm saying?
>> Yeah.
>> Like just
I mean
I'm just
frustrated.
>> Mhm.
>> And I'm going to call the
I'm going to call the manager.
>> Yeah. It's It's likely that if if I go
talk to them, they're going to want you
trespassed from
>> Yeah, I I I don't really want to do a
trespassing thing.
>> this
>> I mean, I just need a new different
manager. That white guy with the big
ears like
you know, obviously he was bullied as a
kid, so it's like he's like,
>> Yeah, people say that about cops all the
time, too, that we were bullied in high
school be
>> Well, you guys have power trips
sometimes. Some of you do. Not all of
you do.
>> But that's that's that's just kind of
stereotyping.
>> That's more like correctional officers
and they like stare in the
the showers of the bathrooms.
>> Oh gosh. Well, I've never been in jail,
so I don't know that.
>> Well,
you don't want to go.
Um
I don't want to go.
So, I think I'm going to go to Burger
King and just like I don't know. I'm
just I'm
sick of it.
You know, and and
>> That The The problem is is I I don't
think in this situation you're ever
going to win. Now, you might be able to
get a hold of a manager at some point
that would be willing to talk to you
about your experience,
but it's never going to be
like
>> Well, yeah, cuz cuz corporate America is
like, "Oh, what's your pronoun?" No, no,
no, no, no, no. Like, your mom is my
pronoun. You know what I mean? Like
Like, do you think I have time for that?
>> Yeah. It looks like there's a a maybe a
McDonald's guy here.
>> I'm here, so I'll just check it in.
>> Oh, you do work here?
>> Yeah, I'm the manager.
>> Oh, let me I'll be right with you, okay?
>> Like, this is like the worst of the
problems going on in the world right
now.
>> you
He looks like a manager and
>> like he's white.
>> Oh, there's that cop. All right, so time
to go.
>> Well, I I just want you to
I'd like to go talk to him.
>> Female cops kind of scare me.
>> Do they?
How come?
>> Uh-oh.
They don't overcome me.
>> Oh, okay. I'm going to go talk to
McDonald's. Would you mind you just
hanging out with Nicole here and
I'm going to try and help get some more
information for for her so that she
>> I'm okay with not getting fries.
>> Okay.
>> Um and my burger and I think there's a
lot of illegals in there, so
>> Okay.
>> I think if anything
>> Okay.
>> you should probably go see who's illegal
and not illegal in there.
>> Okay.
Uh
>> I mean, I wanted french fries and a
cheeseburger. I mean, like this is like
I said work in confident once once in LA
and Baltimore. Like and and this is a
fight about a
french fries and a burger. Like
I'm pretty sure there's like people like
bigger things to worry about, but it's
up to you.
>> Okay, but you you went through the
drive-thru three times, you called me
once, and now we're two
two officers down and it's
>> already Because I said I wanted my food.
I already paid for it.
Like, I wanted my food.
>> Okay, well, let me go talk to the
manager.
>> Am I allowed to go to Burger King or
not?
>> Well, I I hope you're okay to drive.
>> I'm fine. I live right down the street.
Like, I just
>> So, you're telling me you haven't had
anything to drink today?
>> No, and I just No, and I want
food. That's why I'm here.
And I really just want like maybe I'll
go get a Whopper.
>> Mhm.
>> You know, I I just won't come here
anymore cuz
they're illegal people and I'm not
getting into that.
Private ownership, like
>> Okay.
>> There's people out there murdering,
there's people out there robbing cars.
>> Okay, but I'm just
let
>> giving you the opportunity that if you
shouldn't be driving, this is the time
to do something about it.
So.
>> What do you Did you have anything to
drink today, Nicole? Nothing? No any
kind of prescriptions, anything like
that?
>> I have prescriptions, but not
>> Okay.
I mean, I will say your eyes are like
bloodshot as can be. I can see that from
here.
>> I pull over or what do I do?
>> Um I I'm just I'm trying to talk to you
to kind of figure out what if there's a
a reason other than like
>> I got out of Okay, so
I'm on prescription medication.
>> Okay.
>> I My red My eyes get red anyways.
I mean, I know you wouldn't believe it,
but sometimes people lie to you.
>> I do. Yeah.
>> Um
but
I didn't do anything wrong. I just
wanted my food.
Like, I didn't
assault anyone or
>> Okay.
>> They were being rude to me first, but of
course legals get away with everything
just like when they almost hit me in a
car accident the other day and they only
got a ticket.
Um
>> And you live close by, Nicole? Pretty
close?
>> Um would you mind doing some field
sobriety tests for us?
Make sure that you're okay to drive.
>> No, I'd rather just park.
>> Okay.
Well,
um
I mean,
you're kind of already in the spot that
you are.
Um
>> Is there someone
Cuz here's here's the deal. I'm I would
be concerned that I obviously, I mean,
there's
I haven't seen you driving. I haven't
been here that long, but I
I can see that there's some possible
signs of impairment. Since you live
close by, can we work with you to get
like someone to come pick you up and
maybe maybe we can park your car?
>> Can I talk to you
real quick? Just give me a second here.
>> You just want to talk to
>> Can I talk to you real quick?
>> Yeah.
>> Sorry, Sarge.
>> No, that's fine.
>> No, that's over there.
I now I kind of got a little bit of a
whiff of alcohol in there. I
I want to know what you're on.
>> I don't have a record of
>> a little bit of slurred speech. So, I
think we do need to process her for a
physical control. Don't have her
driving.
>> Yeah, but I mean, the car's on. She's in
the driver's seat.
>> Yeah.
She's probably not going to um
do any tests.
>> Yeah.
>> We can ask her if she wants to do a PBT.
Um
But I mean, I'm I'm concerned. Let's see
if you'll
>> Yeah.
>> be willing to get out of the car and let
us see if we can get her out.
Um
stances and stuff like that.
>> Okay.
>> If she does, I'm going to go talk to him
and you real quick and kind of
see what he's got and we can kind of
just see how she's moving around and
everything.
>> Okay.
I think she's
>> way above board on uh
blowing this incident up to a bigger
situation than it is. So, I've got a
little bit of slurred slurred speech,
bloodshot watery eyes.
>> I have slurred speech, meaning kind of
about conversations
>> Let's see if you'll come out and get out
of the car and talk to me.
>> Okay.
Okay.
So, Nicole, while uh my partner talks to
the
the employees inside to figure out what
we're going to do there, would you mind
chatting with me out here, seeing kind
of
what we can Um no, it's good where it
is. It's not in the way so
Would you mind stepping out here and
chatting with us and seeing
what kind of plan we can come up with?
It's voluntary it's not mandatory I mean
I can ask you to do it but
that's okay.
Um
I'll still if you can still step out for
me and chat um we can try to come up
with
what we're going to game plan of what
we're going to do if that works for you.
Your car's not in the way so it's good
where it is.
>> I'm going to go chat chat with the other
guy over
>> The other okay.
Um we're
>> Oh
I don't care.
I don't look like that.
>> No no judgement. Um
we're let me see really quick here.
>> Um I was told that she came in started
telling them
that she was going to tell the corporate
office that she had a K47 and guns on
her.
Something along those lines.
>> Okay.
>> I don't know though that's just what
multiple people were saying.
>> Okay.
>> walked in the door.
>> Did she pay for her meal?
>> I don't know.
I can find that out so what's
>> She said she she placed an order and
then
she went
I guess maybe a tele one of the cashiers
said that she was rude and then she
became rude and started throwing out
stuff about racial things against
Hispanics.
I think that's kind of what set the
whole
>> the guns they come in? I know did she
say anything about that?
>> Uh she's like said all kinds of
different things.
>> I'd gladly give her money back but I'd
like her no trespass please.
>> Because that's
>> Yeah well we can trespass her from the
property for sure. Um
but can
>> I'll just give her 20 bucks and say here
we go.
>> I don't even think it was she said 10
>> that way then it's over with.
>> Well why why don't you hold off we're
kind of
>> looking at this situation and then
>> I'll be here.
>> we'll uh
>> No to the fields. No to the wanting to
do the PBT.
>> I'd rather just like park and then walk
home.
>> So, here's where we're at. We we're kind
of
investigation has kind of switched into
whether or not um you're impaired or
you're in physical control. Being in
physical control is being in the vehicle
with the ability to drive with it. I
mean, it was on. Um
and being in
>> said something to me on the phone about
alcohol, about being home,
you were drinking or something like
that. What was that about?
>> I was going to drink like at home.
I bought alcohol here and then I got
food and then I'm like, I'm not going to
drink till I get home.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> But we're smelling alcohol now, so was
that before you drove?
>> I had two glasses. I mean,
you want to give me a DUI, go for it,
but all I want to do is get food and go
home.
>> Okay.
>> Um
I'm not I'll park my car right there, go
home. I have no record.
Um
these people are like
illegals and they should be arrested.
>> Well,
not really about them and whether
they're legal or not. I'm not really
concerned with that at this point. It's
more of a priority to make sure that
you're okay to drive cuz if you're going
through the drive-thru three different
times
>> Well, I was upset. I was upset. I'm like
>> I get that, but Nicole, honestly, I
mean,
you have signs of impairment, right?
Like, you have slurred speech, you have
extremely watery, glassy, bloodshot
eyes.
>> like that anyways.
>> Okay.
>> And I'm on medication.
>> I'll show you my medication.
>> Okay.
And you had medication mixed with a
couple of drinks?
>> I am on medication.
>> Okay.
>> What kind What kind Is it anything that
says on the bottle that you shouldn't be
drinking with it? Like any kind of pain
medications, anti-anxiety?

your pocket, please?
>> Okay. Do you know what the name of it
is?
>> Hydroxyzine.

>> I asked you to just keep your hands out
of your pocket, thank you.
>> Sorry, it's just a safety thing for us.
>> Oh, it's just in case.
>> Okay.
>> I think given what we have here, Nicole,
I think I'm going to have you step step
up here to the car and put your hands on
the car for me.
And we are going to arrest you for
physical control of a motor vehicle.
There's just enough signs here, Nicole,
that we just can't we can't look the
other way on this.
>> Okay.

while you're under the influence of
prescription drugs or alcohol or
anything. Um
I'm happy to

You want us to move it into a parking
spot, roll up the window, lock it up,
secure it, all that. Okay, I can do
that.

sir?
>> I don't think so. I will see if I can
get have them give you a refund. And

date. And then we'll send you home. And

court date.

And they're and they're they're set
free. That's that's awesome.
Love that.
>> Okay, it's not about not about them.
It's about the choices that you made
today, right?
>> Yeah, but you can come in illegally and
you're fine. You can assault someone and
you're fine. You get a ticket.
And then you go to the McDonald's and
say something someone doesn't like and
you get arrested.

>> Okay.
Um
Do you understand
these rights that I've explained to you?
>> I mean, yeah. At least you explained
them to me.
>> Okay.
So, you were
you were just kidding about the alcohol
part. You hadn't had any
anything to drink.
Okay. Um and then you said that you had
um that you do take prescriptions and
that that's possibly why your eyes are
red just because of those. Okay.
>> How long have you been a cop?
>> Um just a little bit under 2 years.
>> Yeah. You got to prove yourself a little
bit.
>> Oh, no, not at all.
>> I'm sure there's got to be more pressing
cases going on around here.
>> Well, do you guys think that's
pretty pretty good, you know, for a
road?
>> Oh, you don't know if this is a DUI.
That's an assumption.
>> It's an investigation.
>> It's an assumption.
>> Can you get your bag out of the car?
>> It's pretty big assumption, too.
So, if you're wrong,
it's not going to be good for you.
>> Is that a threat?
>> Nope. It's just not going to be good for
anyone if you make assumptions and it's
not true.
>> Can I see your license?
>> You're the one arresting me, so you
should probably already know.
>> Is it a DUI?
>> Yeah.
You're you already know. So, why would
you ask me? You're you already arrested
me for a DUI without knowing I have a
DUI.
Black Widow.
Trying to prove herself at 20
six or whatever the [ __ ] you are, 32, I

>> Tell me.
>> You might as well set that on the blue.
>> I can set it here.
>> Thank you.
>> So, why don't you sit right here?
>> I want to be in public. I want to for my
public defender.
>> Come in here and sit in here for a sec.
>> And I want
>> Okay. All right, Nicole. I'm going to
read you some things, okay?
First one is that you have the right to
remain silent. You have the right at
this time to an attorney. Anything you
say can be used against you in the court
of law.
>> I have the right to have an attorney and
I want my public defender right now
before I do anything.
>> So, we have a warrant, so we don't need
any of that. So, you can do that later.
>> warrant for? I was at the McDonald's
parking lot.
>> Okay, I'm going to explain that in just
a sec if you let me finish. Okay.
You have the right to talk to an
attorney before answering any questions.
You have the right to have an attorney
present during questioning. If you
cannot afford an attorney, one will be
appointed for you without cost if you so
desire. You can exercise these rights at
any time. Do you understand these rights
that I have read to you today?
>> No.
>> Okay. I'm just going to put refuse
signature on there.
>> [snorts]
>> All right, the next thing I have so I
don't know if you're aware well, I'll
read that other part of it.
I told you when you were at the
McDonald's what you were arrested for,
but I don't know if you remember. So,
>> driving through and they
refused me service.
>> Ready, Nicole? Warning, you're under
arrest for RCW 46.61.502
or RCW 46.61.504, driving or being in
actual physical control of a motor
vehicle while under the influence of
intoxicating liquor and or drugs. A test
of your blood will be administered to
determine the alcohol concentration and
or drug in your blood. And that's it. We
have a warrant, so the warrant is here.
You'll get a copy of the warrant in your
file, and you can't refuse the blood
test, okay?
Do you have any other questions for me?
>> Um
So, what's the thing about I have a
right to an attorney?
>> Correct. I'm not asking you any
questions, and you can't refuse the
test, so your attorney is null and void
at this point, but you more than welcome
to talk to an attorney when you get out
or they will you. Okay.
>> All right, so there's two different ways
this can go. I can
like go of the handcuffs and you're
going to put your arm out and let them
take your blood.
>> What's the other option?
>> The other option is I can strap you into
a chair.
You're strapped down, you have no
control, you're fully restrained.
>> How do I know that you guys are going to
be honest about it?
Cops are shady.
>> Well, she's going to record everything
right here. Everything is being
recorded.
>> Just like everything was recorded
before.
>> we have a camera up here. So, anything
that we do illegally, it it is being
recorded, okay?
>> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Let's go.
>> Hey, scan your card.

have bloodshot watery eyes right now.
So, how much of
>> that.
>> Okay, how much have you had to drink
today?
>> Not much.
>> Not much. When was the last time you had
a drink?
>> Why are you doing this?
>> Because you're driving while you're
drunk.
>> Well, I'm home.
>> No, you're under arrest.
>> Do
>> Do you want to do the the voluntary
standardized field sobriety test to show
me that you're not drunk or are you
drunk?
>> I don't know why you're doing this.

field sobriety test?
>> No.

speech. And she's speaking very
repetitive and being very aggressive.

>> By the end of this stop, the driver is
arrested for DUI and resisting after
officers say they observed multiple
indicators of impairment, including
slurred speech, glassy eyes, slow
movements, and the smell of alcohol
coming from the vehicle.
Investigators also discovered open
alcohol inside the car, which further
strengthen the case.
The driver then refused to provide a
breath sample after being read Florida's
implied consent warning, a decision that
triggered an automatic license
suspension on top of the criminal
charges.
In the end, she received jail time,
probation, vehicle impoundment, and a
suspended license. Cases like this are a
reminder that traffic stops can escalate
incredibly fast when emotions, alcohol,
and resistance collide.
