She was the one that did the interview through the phone. >> Gotcha. Okay. And she gave you all the sworn affidavit. Yeah. Here. Yeah. >> Okay, cool. Do you have anything other important to add to this statement? She's being arrested. Okay. Um, she's going to jail. Um, she would like her trespass from the dollar store after this.
