A customer from Dollar General shows up to the police department after losing a wallet containing $1,800 inside. Now, this normally wouldn't be a big deal, but after returning to Dollar General, the manager and assistant manager tell the customer they haven't found anything.

But I don't have no surprises. Okay. >> After everything I told you, everything. >> All right. Thank you. >> 2 days prior to their arrest, after Kendrick finished helping customers, Wendy, the manager, finds a wallet in one of the aisles. She then proceeds to give it to Kendrick and together they look inside and immediately realize the large sum of cash. They also take a look at the ID card and several other forms of identification. where shortly after Kendrick would proceed to head towards the safe [music] when Wendy would suggest that they should put it inside the bottom safe instead of the top safe. Kendrick would go on to lock it up and move out of frame. Just a few hours later, they'd reappear that night and head over to the bottom safe where Wendy would open it, grab the wallet, and they'd head out of frame. And just a few minutes later, they'd leave back out the front entrance. officer's final step would be to interrogate Kendrick, the Xdoll general assistant manager, and hope to match his and Wendy's stories up. However, this soon proves to be much easier said than done. >> I think you know what's going on. >> That's why I want you to be honest with me cuz I don't want to start. >> I don't know. I understand that and that's why I want to get your side of this thing and cuz she has the manager has spilled her guts and you are part of it.

I don't want to go to jail. That's got That's got nothing to do with this. >> I'm being honest with you. I don't want to go to jail. >> If you'll explain to me why you took the money because I've got kids. I know times are get hard and sometimes they get harder for other people than they did for me. But I know I've been through some tough times. Hold on. >> You got seven kids. I only have two. And I know times have been tough for me with two kids. >> And I know there's a lot of things you do for your kids that you normally wouldn't do and that's not in your character. You said why why won't I pay this? Why won't I be willing to pay this? Cuz right now I go to court in about 2 weeks. >> Yeah. >> Listen, this is the time. This is the most pressed time when my kids right now. >> I understand. >> So, anything to do with me staying with my kid, I'm willing to do right now. >> And I understand that. And it's like I told you, whatever you tell me today, if you're telling me the truth, then we'll tell the state attorney's office. Hold on. Hold on. Did you come here? You laid on the line. You told the truth. And this is why you did it. >> Cuz I could I could I know for a fact >> I call my mom and get you that money right now. >> I'm sure >> cuz I'm ready to go home. >> Yeah, I understand. >> But I've got to have the truth today to go to go any further with this because like I told you, I know you got seven kids. You got >> you got clothes, you got school, you got food, you got medical bills. I understand that. >> I'm put it like this. If she said I did, I did. Okay. >> Now, if you did it, take responsibility. >> I'm the type of person. I'm the type of person. I don't like to dwell over a situ. Even though this my life right here, I don't like to dwell over a situation. I don't like you hear what they said. I'm willing to pay that right now cuz I know I could call my auntie or my mama and they going to be like, "Okay, you learn the lesson. You can't trust everybody. You even though you look, but let me tell you this. I can't make any promises to you whatsoever. But I can tell the state attorney that you're willing to pay the money back, but I'm not going to do that unless unless you explain why you did this. I did it for my kids or what. I'm not I'm not telling you to say why you did it. I just said earlier if you if you save, you know, on dope or whatever, well, you can get some help for that. And we're not downing you for that. But but if you went and spent on dope, we wouldn't be sitting here right now. I would I would have them take you right on the jail. But I think I think you did it for your kids or for some other reason besides just I just stole the money and I went and bought me some beer and cigarettes and I wasted the money. I don't think you wasted that money. >> I think you spend it on your kids and and your family. But man to man, I'm talking to you straight straight as I can. >> You want me to be up and forward with you? >> Huh? >> Going to be up and forward with you. >> Yeah. And the idea was it was presented to me. >> Yeah. >> No lie. >> Yeah, I understand. >> It was presented to me. >> But I didn't accept I didn't accept the offer. >> You what now? >> I didn't accept the offer. >> What you mean? >> You said that back Taylor. Yeah, I went back there. She tried to I did not accept it. If you watch, you say you got cameras right there. >> Listen, hold on. Hold on. >> Listen, Mr. B. I I'm going to be real with you now. That deal was presented to me. Oh, I never received a corn. You know what? I thought about saying corn. And I was like, see this what I was going to do and I can show you through my phone. But she been she was taking money from from PE from dollar store anyway. And everybody my witness they'll be like every time >> she been doing this. >> I was not never I mean >> I can't even lie. No. [snorts] This would be the closest the interrogators would come to receiving the truth and would go on to attempt for another 35 minutes, even allowing Kendrick to phone his mom and sister, but would ultimately get nowhere. Like I say, it's your last chance. I'm not charges, >> huh? >> What's my charge? >> Theft of the money. I just don't understand what money >> you've already seen the money. You've already admitted the money. >> I told you money. But I can't >> I'm not telling you if you if you >> I can't accept nothing. I didn't. >> Then don't. Then don't. Let's Let's go. I'll just use everything I've got. That's what the state attorney is going to get. >> But I'm not I'm not Don't call me tomorrow and say, "Well, I thought about this thing for something I don't got." >> Yeah. Okay. I know you don't got it cuz you probably don't spin it, but >> I don't. >> Okay, that's good. >> I can't go >> and take him to jail. >> Okay, let's go. >> Put that in his special. I got that freaking clothes on. As mentioned in the body camera footage, 42year-old Kendrick was already facing a court date from a separate incident regarding a felony drug case. About a year prior, he was stopped when police found 512 g of marijuana, 60 g of cocaine, a digital scale, and $1,626 in cash. And for this case, he was put on a $126,000 bond. That felony drug case, plus this Dollar General wallet grand theft case, would both go on to be resolved 2 weeks after this body camera footage. First, for the felony drug case, the court would go on to adjudicate him guilty on all three counts. And for possession of paraphernalia, possession with intent to sell and trafficking, 42-year-old Kendrick would go on to be sentenced to 3 years inside of state prison. That very same day, he would go on to enter a no contest plea regarding the grand theft dollar general wallet case where the court would similarly adjudicate him guilty and sentence him to one year inside of state prison. He was also ordered to pay over $1,000 in restitution. And for Wendy, the dollar general manager, things would go slightly different for her. She would also be charged for grand theft in connection to the same $1,800 wallet theft. She would go on to enter a no contest plea, but the court withheld adjudication and sentenced her to 18 months of reporting probation instead of prison. Her conditions would include 100 hours of community service, a substance abuse evaluation, random testing, no contact with the victim, restitution, and $1,05 in court cost, fees, and fines. So here we can see two individuals given the same charges but expressing different levels of cooperation and also having different backgrounds in the system. Ultimately received two completely different sentences. As always, let me know your honest thoughts on this case down below in the comment section. Stay safe out there and I'll see you in the next video. >> I never got one red scent on my soul. >> That's that's what's left of what I had. And if you seen the video, you see me searching for identity. And I got my phone cuz I'm about to head Facebook to see can I find this person on Facebook?
