So, she came out and was mad with another worker about Styrofoam plates. We don't have any. But they've been out for over 3 hours. So, when she got here, they already weren't there. She was mad saying that the girl that she was mad at went back there and started talking about her. But she went back there to tell everybody else we don't have any plates. So, when I heard she was cussing, I came around and she was in my face talking of like saying [ __ ] you and you [ __ ] up and I'm coming for you all that. And so, I told her we haven't had any Styrofoam plates for a while. And she got in my face and said, "No, I got the last one. You remember I got the last one." I said, "Okay, whatever, you know." I know she didn't, so I'm not going to argue. And when she got in my face, that's when I smelled her breath. And I know she Yeah.

So she's good with not pressing charges. Perfect. Well, then we >> her. >> Yeah, we don't have to worry about the the video. >> In the end, officers determined that the woman had repeatedly refused lawful orders to leave private property after being directed to do so by store management. Under Florida law, remaining on a property after being warned to leave can result in a trespassing charge and her continued resistance during the arrest led to additional charges. What began as a simple request to exit the store quickly escalated into an arrest because she chose confrontation over compliance. After a lengthy argument, officers took her into custody and removed her from the property, bringing the incident to a close.
