Roll over. >> Speaking of it, what should we do? >> Cuz when we when we were getting her today, she was fighting me for her phone, so I think she's just a >> April 22nd, 2024, [music] Las Cruces, New Mexico. A woman concealed clothing inside a bag at a Walmart, got arrested, then stopped breathing in [music] handcuffs. Officers administered Narcan on scene. She ended up intubated at a local emergency room. The real issue here is not the shoplifting charge, it's what happened to her after the cuffs went on. >> Uh that's the one I'm running. It drives >> Where she at? >> Right here, she's at register 11. So, she concealed some clothes into that bag. Now she's only standing like the grocery stuff and like socks. >> Under zero.

So, her card's declining right now for these items. She might just try to walk out, maybe. >> Yeah. >> Let's just >> Yeah. >> [music] >> Get away from me. >> If I thought you were that intense Let go of the phone. >> No. >> Let go of the phone. >> No. I'm the You said Oh. >> I'm pretty sure the cookies are fine.

You were just fighting me for your phone, so stop. Roll over. Just turn her over. Come on. Yeah. >> Isabelle. Isabelle. Hey. Hey. Look up. Isabelle. >> I don't think so. I fell at the same time she fell, so I couldn't see that part. I felt something on the other side. Someone roll her over. Yeah. Yeah, she's moving. She's going Oh, yeah. He's fine. >> She's coming back home. >> I think it I think it was. She's starting to get a little more responsive already. Um Like if she didn't stop that, you'd be like, "Yeah." >> I got a knife or pipe wrench >> Guys, there's some foil in your pocket or something. Is there a female Is there a female working? >> Huh? >> Is there a female officer working? >> She is. >> I think >> I don't know about grades. >> Patty, Patty Ann? >> Patty Ann Knight. >> So, you have any history with him? >> That's good enough. >> I'll put a card right here. >> Did you see if she did anything? >> It could be dope cuz >> I felt like she felt so >> She did that. She did that last time. >> I guess yeah. This? >> Oh, you're 15-year-old fortune? Speaking of her, she has to do >> Cuz when we when we were getting her to She was fighting me for her phone, so I think she's just >> I was with her pulling and then they >> soon as I walked up, then she's like Hey, is that a bell ringing? Isabelle? >> [laughter] >> And she just She flinches when you do it. >> Yeah, she's got her eyes closed. >> Probably like a shopper. >> Yeah, no, but >> This is all sweat, so Oh. Go figure. >> You got a lot of problems. >> No. Um, were you able to get an amount for the stuff? >> So, that's not everything what she had at the self-checkout. Right now, I'm just going to do what she had concealed. >> Okay. >> Um, I can include that if you want me to. >> No, this is This is what's in the bag is fine. >> Okay, yeah. >> And then, um or the video footage? >> Yeah, can I text it to this number or >> Yeah, so I'll upload it. >> Yeah, okay, perfect. And then, if are you able to also get the video footage from when we tackled it? >> I can, yeah. >> She had these in her pockets. We don't know if she swallowed anything. You want to look at her in the ambulance bag, dude? Hey, Isabel, did you swallow anything? >> Normally when we go to our residence, she'll do this part, she doesn't know that. >> The throwing up part. >> Yeah, yeah. When our kid might have made that happen. >> She just had thought like 2 seconds before that though. Like when I walked in, these two officers were like she was pulling as soon as they put the handcuffs on she just laid there. >> Or they call her a liar. >> know if she swallowed anything. And now she's breathing, yeah. But then she started like kicking. That was me the other Friday night, dude. I got so sick, dude. I was puking everywhere. Dude, I was like >> [laughter] >> Did you eat something? >> Yeah, I got I think I got some bug or something, dude. I was all messed up. Stop, there's no need to kick. It's also if someone had to go Do either one of you guys want her to go to? >> Then it'll be up to the ambulance. You guys okay with that? >> Yeah. >> We'll let them decide. >> Yeah. >> Give me the phone. >> Uh front right point pocket. So it sounds like they going to have to talk to her. They got her daughter and they both kind of fell down. Then she started fighting cuz she they were going to take them home and then started fighting with her. She said she's not going to let us go. But she's going to faint out here. She's been dry heaving a little bit of this. Um but we have her in the alley. Couldn't get her to walk out here. But she's breathing fine. >> We got three three uh bruises on her. >> Oh. >> So they don't know She's not saying words. Swallowed in here and now she's swallowed. She won't talk to us at all. You think we got to take her in? >> First priority. >> Under New Mexico Annotated Statutes section 30-20-8 concealment of merchandise with intent to steal is shoplifting, full stop. The last point of sale rule the loss prevention employee cited is retail policy, not criminal law. Probable cause was established the moment she concealed those items. Still once she was handcuffed and went limp, the legal question shifted entirely away from the theft charge. >> I mean she might be ill. >> This is the hospital's issue. >> I'm trying to fake it, too. >> Yeah, but she she got it. >> She's still alive. >> Yeah. >> Pulling up and as soon as you got the handcuffs on her, you look down and >> She will walk. >> Yeah. I If they go up to the hospital and their vitals are fine, they're probably going to be okay. >> I hope so. >> I mean just in case it's not, buddy. >> [cough] >> I see her breathing. She's breathing fine. I can't get her to walk. >> Um, was he After this you weren't involved in the Can you have a fire extinguisher? Would you mind? >> Yeah. >> Just take a picture of this area and then >> Careful. >> I'll just throw this away. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh, not that I saw but I felt at the same time she did. >> I'll just get photos of you real quick and then uh >> This is Isabel. >> Isabel? >> Isabel is >> I got it. >> I got this side. >> 920 in the morning, 97. >> Do you mind if I squeeze in here real quick? I got a couple phones. Got them in my pocket. >> Well, they didn't have it but they got it. >> I'm really bad at guessing stuff. You guys are better than >> She doesn't have anything left. Huh? She doesn't have anything left. She's about to get a foot list start kicking around and get them up. >> Mouse. >> Uh type her type of dude. >> Try to take a seat and try to get a little more info out of her. >> Oh no, she won't. And then she started bacon from the hallway at the hospital. Nah. It's uh Isabel. No, that's all she shoplifts from the Home Depot. Yeah. 11:43 she would have came. It would have been a good one for him. >> Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, it's still unauthorized entry with intent to commit a theft. Yeah, but it could fall under the other one, though. The dwelling the dwelling or structure. I don't know, I'd be I would I would say yes, but they know more than me. I don't know, maybe. What? All right. I'm going to be here for a bit, so No, I'm good, bro. What? >> Well, she was uh arrested at Walmart. PD found three pills on her. I don't know how many she ingested, but she's acting like she's not responding at all to us. >> No, I'm okay. >> Mhm. >> PD did on scene. >> Yeah, she did one, though. Um she reacted. She kind of squinted >> nose when I put it in her nose, but >> She only been uh vomiting She vomited a couple times. She's been usually just kicking like that. >> Uh when she ran from us >> She's 100% She's about 140 for the heart rate. So, she could have swallowed something before we got >> No. >> I'm just kidding. >> Just kidding. >> Oh boy. I'll take her back there. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Do you need vitals for anything? >> Uh I'm I'm going to hook her up right now. She's vomiting. >> All right. I'll go grab the paperwork. >> Sit up. >> I'm going to cuff you to the bed, okay? You guys can hear Sit up so I can cuff you to the bed. Or you can stay handcuffed behind your back. >> So, this is just a clearance right now, though? >> Yeah, just a clearance. She had couple warrants. >> Oh boy. Oh boy. What's going on here? Can you tell me? >> Yeah, so >> Mr. Ibarra? >> Yeah, so um we had her for She had some warrants and a shoplifting and then she took off running. Um like from here to like the hand sanitizer. >> So, she's adding at 49% She's completely gorgeous. Uh Uh >> I have a tourniquet on her hand. >> I think the Narcan >> I have a tourniquet. Give me Give me a second on that. >> I have the I'm All I'm saying is I think we should innovate this one. >> Yeah. >> One second. >> All right. Can I call respiratory? >> Yeah. >> God damn it. >> That's fine. >> Sorry, bro. What's up? >> Um so anyway we >> What happened? Why does she look like that? Did you guys like shoot her? >> As soon as we the cuffs came on um she got like this. She was fighting She was Yeah, there was >> And she fell? >> No well the the officer kind of like grabbed her and they fell together. I was right behind him. I didn't I didn't see her head hit the >> have respiratory in bed 11, please in the in the ER? >> Respiratory? >> Uh actually sorry. Can I Can you connect me with respiratory, please? >> Why is she coming out of her [ __ ] >> She was throwing up. >> Why did she overdose tonight? >> So we found four of on her but >> They gave her Narcan. >> We gave her one dose of Narcan. >> Well, how much did you give her? >> Just the ones we gave her. The little ones we gave her. >> Hey, we're going to tube a patient bed 11. >> gave her 4 mg IM. >> What's that? >> Okay, what room? >> Oh yeah, we're sorry. Come to room four. Come to room four. We're going to innovate a patient there. We're moving them from 11 to four now, okay? >> Okay, we'll meet you there. Thank you. >> Thank you. Stinky bros. Holy >> [clears throat] >> Yeah, so she was fighting us while we put the handcuffs on. The handcuffs came on and then she got like this. And after a while of doing that she started dry heaving. >> And you gave her Narcan after this or after or before she started fighting you? Like what happened? >> Uh after we she started fighting us we cuffed her. She went unresponsive. We gave Narcan and then No change after like 2-3 minutes, that's when she started >> The Fourth Amendment required probable cause for a warrantless arrest in a public space. Under United States versus Watson, that bar was cleared based on loss prevention's real-time surveillance. The active resistance added New Mexico annotated statutes section 30-22-1, evading or obstructing an officer on top of the shoplifting. Under Graham versus Connor, force during resistance is judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer at the moment, not in hindsight. The officer stated both he and the subject fell simultaneously, a meaningful distinction from a deliberate takedown, but that needs independent verification. Store surveillance footage was requested on camera. That footage is the critical evidence. Once she was unresponsive in custody, the 14th Amendment's due process clause activated. Under Estelle versus Gamble, deliberate indifference to a serious medical need is unconstitutional. Officers found foil in her mouth and pills on her person, the threshold for constitutional duty of care was met. Narcan was administered 4 mg intramuscular, which is appropriate first responder protocol under New Mexico's opioid emergency response framework. But the standard is not just whether Narcan was given. It is whether the overall response demonstrated the urgency the situation legally required. Under New Mexico annotated statutes section 30-31-23, possession of controlled substances carries criminal penalties, but that charge is secondary to the medical picture here. A discrepancy in pill count, three in one officer statement, four in another, creates a chain of custody problem that any defense attorney will exploit. The Fifth Amendment protects her silence. She cannot be compelled to say whether she swallowed anything, even in a medical emergency. Civil liability exposure here runs through 42 United States Code Section 1983, the federal vehicle for constitutional rights violations by state actors. On the officers, the arrest was legally grounded and the Narcan call was correct. What the footage also shows is repeated speculation across multiple personnel that she was faking it. That pattern, sustained and casual while a handcuffed subject lay unresponsive on the floor, is exactly what courts examine when deliberate indifference is alleged. On Isabel, she was actively resisting seconds before going limp. The transition was immediate, clinically consistent with acute opioid distress, not feigned unconsciousness. Question one, concealment is enough. In New Mexico, you do not need to exit a store for shoplifting charges to stick. The moment you conceal with intent, it is done. Question two, if someone in cuffs stops responding, the default assumption has to be medical emergency, not performance. That assumption has a constitutional basis. Lesson three, evidence count matters from the first second. A three versus four discrepancies in recovered pills is not a minor clerical issue. It is a case liability that starts the moment someone writes the wrong number down. Case outcome is unknown at time of this analysis. If you have information on this incident, drop it in the comments.
