Thank you. I'm going to put your bag up front, okay? Okay. Um I'll put seat belts on both of you. So, basically I'm going to talk to my sergeant and see exactly what's going to happen because right now according to them it's two felonies. Yeah. So, over $750 is a felony. So, I'm going to ask my sergeant and see if we can figure out something so that you know, both of you aren't going, but both of you had merchandise and it all equals above 750 bucks then both of you are going to be arrested for a felony, which is pretty bad, right? Um that doesn't mean that you're going to be convicted of a felony. Right? So, how the process works is tomorrow morning First, is today Thursday or Friday? So. Tomorrow morning you guys will both see if you both going, let's just say, okay? Tomorrow morning you'll have a court date set. A judge will see you in the morning sometime probably via like a like Zoom or something. And they'll either say you know, you can bail out that day and leave or they'll you'll be released or you'll stay however long the judge sees fit, but considering it's you guys' first time to ever been arrested they'll probably go to a a little easy on you and it most likely won't still be a felony. They'll probably drop it down to a a misdemeanor. But, I don't know and I'm not making any promises. I'm just trying to tell you the process. Um Does that make sense? Do you have any questions? No? Okay. Both women were charged with felony retail theft. [music] Thanks for watching today's video. If you like the video, be sure to like and subscribe for more videos.
