I don't want to lose my house and >> Okay, so you were about the wrong thing. >> No, I'm just trying to speak to him and see if I can buy the items instead because it's the same thing.

You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions. >> understand none of that. >> Okay, so you're refusing >> I'm I'm telling you that I I have a disability. >> Okay. >> So, how do you >> All right, then. Okay. >> When Officer Bell attempted Miranda warnings, the subject claimed bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and said she could not understand a word. Under Miranda versus Arizona, that creates an immediate problem. In Colorado versus Connelly, the Supreme Court held that mental illness alone does not invalidate a Miranda waiver unless police coercion is also present. Still, that is not a license to push through an advisement someone cannot engage with. The officer's obligation is to document the concern, stop interrogating, and honor any de facto invocation of silence. Officer Bell eventually accepted her refusal. Whether that came soon enough is what matters most here. >> I tried to talk to you and you didn't want to talk to me, so I'm not going to talk to you either. >> Thank you, sir. >> I'm not sure what >> I told you guys that. >> Yes, yes, sir, I have. >> Cuz I don't see too many people on Instagram and other places get caught stealing and y'all sit right down. >> to do that at all. We're switching out here. >> What do you call them? Y'all give them a warning. I'm asking you to pay for everything that I got. So, it's not even fair. Like, I learned my lesson. I'm blocked on the store's phone. I don't understand what's going on. >> Take your picture. >> Most places Most officers Could you call officer what you call it for me? >> Who? >> Um >> No. >> The what you got? >> [laughter] >> He is funny. >> Very funny. What are you going to ask for if you're going to say that? >> Ma'am, can I just take your wonderful picture, please? >> No. Ain't nobody >> Ma'am, I have one by name and date of birth. Good evening, ma'am. All right. >> You can take it like this though, but >> No, no, I got I got I got one for you. >> As long as you got one, I ain't going to take no picture in my hand. >> It's going to be a black female. >> And ain't nobody You know what I mean? I had loss prevention calling and saying, "Hey, like, don't You know what I mean?

My son is literally right down the street and I I >> He's where? >> Huh? >> He's where? >> He's right down the street. >> 12 mile 1105 >> His place right here? >> Let me start with 1101. >> You know come out of this driveway here by the Chase Bank? >> Yeah. >> the buildings across the street? Like the medical buildings that's across the street on the left hand side? >> Yeah. >> He ain't there. >> 26 from the Congress >> No, not daycare. It's um a a a a a >> doctor's office. >> Oh. >> They're getting his treatment. >> Okay. >> So, and I'm normally like this all the time. So, that's why I keep insisting on that cuz I don't want to leave him at the doctor's office and then You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> DCF and all that going to get involved and come back and get my baby up and that's not even what happened. I got arrested. That's what happened. >> I got the medics coming for you right now. Hold on. >> Yeah, but what I'm trying to ask you is >> She's getting arrested and all of a sudden decides she has anxiety. So. Is that here? >> She's in the back of the car. How you doing? Huh? >> I didn't see you when you fell up. I thought you moved towns. >> You haven't seen me in forever? From where? >> Remember when they had the brawl up in Saddlebrook and you was there and I was telling you how you was crazy. >> Davis ran off? >> Yeah. >> Heart rate is >> Davis ran off or no? >> Huh? >> No, he went inside to grab something inside. 70. >> Oh, okay. >> Made you healthy. Made you perfect. >> Okay, but I'm having panic attacks. So, Oh, no. No, it's not having panic attacks today. >> Your oxygen saturation is 100%? And your heart rate is normal is 60 to 100. >> Okay. Something perfect. Okay. I'm just having I just told my heart had a anxiety I had a anxiety attack. So, I don't know what >> Do you have the vitamin C receipt? >> Yes. >> No problem. Along with the Was it all just makeup products or >> It's a mixture. >> Mixture? Okay. Is all Is it all this this stuff right here? Okay. And this is As far as we know this is everything that she took. >> As in the >> Okay. All right, cool. So everything is recovered. All right, I just have to I'll just get pictures of that stuff that I've listed in my report. And then you have footage from >> Do you want me Do you want to send it through like the Axon or whatever it is? That portal? Okay. >> Do you know if you So I can send the Axon community link? >> Yep. Thank you. >> My phone's in the car. >> It's okay. I can write it down there. >> On the charge itself, Florida statute 812.014 sets the grand theft threshold at $750 or more. At $977, this case clears that line by a significant margin. The subject argued she should be allowed to pay for the items after being caught. Under Florida statute 812.014, that argument fails. The theft is complete at the moment of concealment with intent to deprive. The merchant's privilege to detain is codified in Florida statute 812.015. That statute authorizes retail employees to hold a person reasonably believed to have committed retail theft in a reasonable manner for a reasonable time. When the subject asked for a female officer for her pat-down, Officer Bell initially said, "That's not true." That pushback was legally imprecise. Florida agencies maintain policies strongly recommending same-gender officers for pat-down searches. While no absolute constitutional mandate exists, agency policy fills that gap. And dismissing the request outright creates civil liability exposure. To his credit, Officer Bell ultimately waited for a female officer. The outcome was correct. The path there was rough. >> I don't know. I put $700. I don't know. $300. I don't know. But what I'm saying is about I'm going to pay for it. So it's no harm, no foul. I ain't coming back in here. I'm going to ban from here, so I'm not coming back in here. You know what I'm saying? Like, I literally only came to get lip liner, lip gloss, and a curling iron. That's what I came for. So, we can go take Valentine pictures, me and my baby after he leave and we go get dressed and stuff. That's all I came for. I didn't came for nothing else. >> Try not to talk a little bit. Let them finish what they're doing. >> Oh, my bad. I just feel like all this he doing he just drawing attention for no reason. Just no reason. And it's very embarrassing. Very embarrassing. >> Perfect. >> Why is my face like that? He already done saying some stuff in here and whatever. I don't know. He really said something else. >> I know you're on the wrong wrong phone. That is it. What is your extension? 305 >> Uh 5, sorry. >> Rescue 5? >> Yep. Some officer What was that? >> What is my butt? >> Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Are you going to talk to him? >> I'm sorry? >> Did you talk to him? >> You guys have a wrong number? >> Yeah, he's got it. >> It's the wrong number. >> What is it? >> Would you like talk to him? >> 3927 >> For me, please. >> Yeah, he went inside, so we got to wait for him to come back. >> I know he went inside. Did you talk to him? >> He said 3539 3539 >> How are you guys getting the world How are you guys getting the world this year? >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> I'm signing that. >> I didn't even know that. >> Now you do. >> For what? >> Whatever you guys need. >> You got guns or something? >> I have no idea. Probably new equipment or something. They >> Hopefully it's new trucks. >> Yeah, yeah. We need that. >> What is it? 3530? >> Yeah, 3539. >> 35 >> 39 >> Listen, if you don't think you can raise your right hand for me, just want to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> Yes, sir. >> All right, you can put your hands down. Can you tell me what happened today? >> So, basically like the whole from the instructions? >> Yeah. >> Okay, so basically when she came in, she I noticed that she was carrying a big bag. She grabbed three of the pallets from Morphe. And you know, I was very suspicious of that because of the fact that when she grabbed it, she looked at me and then went all the way to the back of the store. >> Mhm. >> So, I found that a little bit suspicious. So, I hurried up and ran to the back of the store. >> Mhm. >> So, that my other managers know that just to keep an eye on this suspicious suspicious to be customer. And then once I told him that, I came back into the sales floor and then the from our managers in the camera room were noticing that she was concealing the items and I was in the sales floor and I was seeing it for myself as well, too. So, what we did is we just informed each other and just let her build the basket so it just could be a little higher price. So, once I you know, I repeatedly seen her put the stuff in her purse but I gave her you know space so she didn't think that we were on to her. >> Mhm. >> So, as much as I can I stayed away from her cuz there were other customers, came back. I think I only canceled her one time. Actually, no. Before all that, I gave her one of the orange Ulta bags cuz she had all the items in her hand. So, I gave her to her and said, "Hey, you seem like you got a couple items in your hand. Do you want an Ulta bag to carry them?" She said, "Oh yeah, thank you." So, she grabbed the Ulta bag but usually we do that just so we have a way to count the items that they have already in their hand. So, I gave it to the I thought she was going to say no but she took it. So, she took it and then what she did is she forgot she just after like I want to say like maybe 10 or 5 minutes took everything out the bag after she canceled it. After the Ulta bag then put the Ulta bag somewhere else. She literally hid it somewhere else and then pulled her own bag out. So, that's when I noticed when she pulled her own bag out and I didn't see the Ulta bag anymore but I didn't say nothing to her. Just let her keep concealing the items until until until they she they kept concealing concealing and then she just walked out. And then that's when everything happened. >> Come on, wait. Take the stuff off. >> You You can't take no stuff off me. You got to be a female officer to touch me. >> Okay, ma'am. >> Please call a female officer. So, thank you very much. >> All right. No problem. >> Yeah, call a female officer, please. You're not going to search me. You're not going to touch me. You told me I'm going to take off my clothes. What the [ __ ] I look like? >> Ain't nobody said you were going to take off >> take off your stuff. >> Ma'am, don't you have jewelry on? >> Yeah, but you said take off your >> Don't you have jewelry on? >> My earrings ringing? I just told you it's my it's my whatchamacallit. >> Okay, all right. You cannot have any loose articles on you. >> Right, but >> Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. >> Yeah, call the female officer. >> Oh, trust me. We're not We're not taking me up to do that. >> No, I don't I don't really give a cuz guess what? I ain't killed nobody, so I will be out clear as day. >> That's fine. >> Yeah, what you saying? You You trying to hurt a female. You must ain't got no females in your life. You got kids? You can't help it. You got a daughter? You can't help it. You got a mom? You can't help it. You got a sister? You can't help it. You got a grandma? You can't help >> don't steal, sweetheart. >> And I don't either, but I ain't finna But like I said, I will pay for it, so that ain't stealing cuz I got the money to pay for it. Stealing is when you don't have the money to pay for it. >> Okay, all right. All right, no problem. You proved your point. >> Okay, yeah. I'm trying to prove my point. That's all I'm trying to prove my point. >> Okay. >> Will you roll my window up cuz I'm not trying to argue with you, sir, and make you feel >> No, you're not finna make me You're not finna run me.

You You asked me a question for a question. You didn't even address that. >> What? >> When the subject claimed a panic attack, officer Bell called EMS immediately without questioning the request. Florida agencies carry a duty of care toward individuals in custody. That response was exactly right. EMS measured her heart rate at 70 beats per minute and oxygen saturation at 100% both normal. Objective findings did not support active panic. But officers are not clinicians. Calling EMS was still the correct call. The loss prevention associate gave a sworn statement describing a textbook concealment sequence. The associate offered the subject an Ulta shopping bag, a standard technique to create a visible count of items, and the subject accepted it. The subject then transferred concealed items to her personal bag, discarded the store bag, and attempted to exit. That full sequence was captured on store surveillance. If preserved, it makes this charge substantially harder to contest. Officer Bell called medics when asked, honored the invocation of silence, and eventually accommodated the same-gender search request. Those are sound procedural decisions. Where he fell short was the initial dismissal of the search request and the friction during Miranda. The female officer conducted the pat-down professionally, no concerns with her portion. The subject was not complative and did not flee. She correctly identified the same-gender search standard. That is worth acknowledging. But her legal strategy, offering to pay after detection, claiming disability inconsistently, and attempting to negotiate outside the officer's authority, did not help her position under any of the relevant statutes. First, if you are detained and claim you cannot understand Miranda warnings, say it clearly, say it once, then stop talking. Under Fare versus Michael C, courts assess waiver validity from the totality of circumstances. Every sentence you add after that claim works against you later. Second, if you want a same-gender officer for a search, make that request clearly and early. It is a legitimate policy expectation in Florida. State it once calmly and let it go on the record. Third, Florida statute 812.014 makes clear that offering to pay after concealment does not reverse the charge. If you are ever in that situation, save that conversation for your attorney.
