You don't have to put >> Don't walk away. >> Okay. I'm not walking away. >> You want to put handcuff? >> Just put a handcuff. >> So, this is fentanyl. >> This is $200. >> Yeah. On the 4th of May 2026, officers approached a woman who was shopping at Target. There was little to say after loss prevention caught her concealing items in her bag. Yet, when confronted by the officer, she had an excuse for her actions. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> They're going to trespass you. You've been concealing items in your bag. You can't do that. >> I'm going to pay. I have money. I >> You can't conceal in your bag. >> Okay. Well, can I pay for it? I won't >> trespass.

That I brought with me. >> Okay, hold on. >> What? >> Listen to me for a second. >> I just want to pay and I want to go in. I'm sorry. I won't do that again. >> Okay. You either listen to me or I take your ass to jail. How about that? I don't sit. So sit. Stop moving. Listen. Would a reasonable person come in, take some other person's shoes on, stow the shoes they came in with underneath? No. Okay. So, some I've done this for seven years. That's This is all They're going to trespass you. You're not going to go to jail and we'll be done with this. >> Okay, >> cool. Let's do that. >> I'm sorry. Can I take your stuff back? >> Can we bring them into the We're going to just So, >> let's grab all No, we're not going to do it right here. We're going to bring it all back. Stop taking it out. >> I'm going to take all my stuff out. >> You're not. >> Put it back in. We're going to bring it back to the office and you're not going to go to jail or we can do it my way. >> I don't want to go to jail. >> Cool. Then shut up and we'll take it back. How about that? >> The woman was then taken to the loss prevention office where the employees appeared certain about what she had done as they pointed out each stolen item she had taken. >> What she all the markers? [laughter] >> No, I watched you take them all out. freaking >> I watched you. [laughter] >> So, you want all my markers, even the ones that are mine? >> No, I need my markers. You know which ones are my markers? >> I didn't. I put all the bags. I put all my >> Look, I have not as these ones, too. I am not just >> Those ones you just grabbed, those are all ours. >> Okay, but the ones that you grabbed, the colorful ones, those are ours. You grabbed three packs. >> Actually, I didn't grab any packs. I I said that. But you know what?

So, I knew you had stolen markers before I even showed up. >> Stop trying to act like they're stealing your >> I'm not I'm not I'm not going to say this [ __ ] I thought I did wrong. >> You just have 700 brand new markers in your >> I don't have I do have markers in here. I literally do have three. >> I don't give a [ __ ] about the markers you have. I care about all the ones that you just tried to take that's stairs. Clearly not. >> I know. >> I will say in the future it is so much easier if we don't do this. I just take her to jail. >> Okay. >> So much easier. >> Am I able to prosecute or just >> But it didn't stop there. The woman had every reason to fear going to jail as officers noticed something suspicious when she repeatedly struggled to provide her identity. >> If when so we we've already done this game a thousand times. Are you going to give me a fake name? >> Okay, the first thing there's too much there's just too much gray area when they're concealing in this door. Like, well, they might be paying, you know. >> Go ahead. >> I was just going to say, >> what's your what's your last name? >> BAS. >> You know, it's a separate charge if you lie to us. >> I just hope I have warrant and everything. >> What is your What is your middle name? >> Social 533. >> No, no, no.

So, >> like I said, we're just going to trespass you. I know, but I'm going to >> How did you get here? >> I walked. >> No, I know there's someone stolen vehicle. >> No, no, no. My mom walked. I I don't know anymore. I literally walk. I didn't walk. >> And if you knew you had this warm, why aren't you taking care of her? >> Because I have a two-year-old daughter and I'm trying to get her old enough to wait. You know what I mean? She's good. And then I put myself in. So, >> you had a 2-year-old daughter and you decided to come here and try to steal. >> Stupid. I know. My mom. >> Very stupid. >> Okay. So, 3 years. You can't come back to this address. Otherwise, you're going to get arrested for trespassing. >> So, you do have the warrant. Uh, >> nope. You're not free to go. >> So, we're going to give you We're going to give it 10 minutes. If they don't want you, great. If we don't hear back from them, great. Did he want you? Then you know the consequences. >> Um, we're going to just go wait out by my car cuz I'm sick of waiting here. >> Hey, make it very clear. We're walking out with you. You're going to sit on the bumper one of our cars to try to run. We're just going to run. >> Okay. I just want to make sure clear. You're going to you're going to eat [ __ ] if you do. No, no. I I make sure you >> The woman seemed to accept the arrest, even willingly walking toward the officer's vehicle, but it appeared she was mainly trying to avoid the embarrassment of being handcuffed in front of other shoppers. >> Hold on. I don't want to run. >> This guy's super fast. >> Yeah. And I'm not very fast. I'm too explor. >> Copy. Go ahead and put both hands up here for me. >> I'm not going to go there. Okay. I'm not going to go. Where did those come from? >> What? >> Why are you turning towards me? >> I just wonder why he's grabbing me. Like >> you're under arrest. They want you. >> You didn't freak out. >> If anyone's freaking out, it's you. How else am I supposed to arrest you? >> I told you that I wasn't going to run. >> I know, but you still got to be in handcuffs when you're under arrest. >> Yeah. >> All right. Let's keep going. >> All right. Okay. Okay. Please don't grab me. Like, I'm >> This is just how I'm supposed to escort you. Okay. >> Okay. So, here's what you just kind of just grab a couple members. My friends were there. Can I get his number, too? >> I knew your friend was here. That's why you're trying to get your phone call. I'm here the whole damn time.

Well, this is really evasive. Like, I should have told you guys I didn't have a bra on. I mean, I have a bra on. You guys could have like >> You have a coat with a bunch of pockets, so I'm going to check inside and out. >> Hold on a minute. >> No, it's okay. Actually, I have it written down. I just realized >> Yeah, you're good. I'm sorry. This was a >> She was quickly escorted into the patrol car, but the surprises didn't end there. She admitted she still had something in her wallet, pushing the situation to an even more serious level. >> All right, this is your chance. Is there anything on your purse I haven't found? >> Yes, I have in my purse. >> In your purse? >> Yes. >> Okay. Is there anything on your purse? >> No. >> That I haven't found that I would find. >> What are you going to have in your purse? >> Um, fentanyl in my purse. >> Okay. >> Am I going to get poked with anything? >> No. There's paraphernalia and there's >> where what is the fentanyl in? >> Um I want to say it's in my wallet in the center thing. >> How much are we talking? >> Um like like I picked up like two $200 worth. >> $200 worth? >> Yeah.

One bad decision can quickly turn a simple shoplifting incident into much more serious consequences. >> [music] >> Trying to hide the truth only made the situation worse when officers discovered the warrant and drugs. >> Right there. Hey, police. Stop right there. Now get over here. >> Don't ever stop. >> On the 27th of February, 2026, officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a report of a theft involving a group of three, two females and one male. What made it more concerning was that all three were still in their teens. Here's what happened next. >> Where did you see them coming out of? Right here. >> They ran out from the Burlington around the corner. Right there. >> Burlington. >> Okay. So, you didn't see them coming in from the Play-Doh, right? >> No, no, no, no, no. >> Okay. >> Hey, nobody stole a bunch of stuff from your store, right? >> Not to my knowledge, boy. >> Okay. >> There's a what?

Like on the >> Yeah, we'll figure it out. >> You're find out cuz I saw I'm the one that called them. You >> found them calling from this direction. You didn't see them coming out from the Play-Doh. >> No, no, no, no. They came from Burlington. >> From Burlington. >> I heard the alarm. So, that's when I And then >> So, it sounds like they have stuff from the Dollar Tree, but it doesn't look like they have anything from here or anywhere else. >> So, I'm just going to go check I'll check Burlington, too. >> Are you going to be here for? >> I'll be here as long as we'll come back and then tell you you're good. >> All three reportedly ran from the store carrying a pile of merchandise, but they didn't get far before officers found them. >> I'm out with them. >> No. No. No. Stop right there. Do not move. Stop right there. HEY, POLICE. STOP RIGHT THERE. NOW. Get over here. Right there. Against the wall. No. No. No. Against the wall, dude. Miss, come here.

I'm going to put everybody in cuffs right now until I figure out what's going on. Put your hands behind your back right here for me. You're being detained. You're not under arrest. You understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Wait, what are my rights since I'm being >> Okay. No, no, we're not starting that. Okay. She's 19. She's 20. They're all They're all adults. >> I'm I'll take the cuffs off you. Okay. I just need to figure out what's going on. You go and turn around and sit down on this curb. Okay. >> Yeah. Just right there. It's good. >> You understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. because it's me and then there's three of you and you guys are reported to be running from the store and I don't know what we have quite yet. >> All right, man. I'm just going to get your name real quick. Okay, >> stand up. Face away. >> Alex, >> spread your feet. >> Is it Alex or is that short for something? Alex. A L E X. >> Somebody get your info yet, miss. >> Yeah. Oh, my name is Christina. We're in a motel. >> You're in a motel? >> Yeah. >> But where you were you guys coming from? Like the Burlington or where >> is all this stuff? >> I mean, this is like dollar store, right? >> You got receipts? >> No, they paid for. >> Put these back in there. I still >> So, you stole You didn't grab anything? >> It doesn't matter. You were there a crime, right? So So those What else was taken from Burlington? >> Two sweatshirts. I don't know where all this stuff is. >> Dollar key. >> In the suspect's bags, officers found more than just stolen merchandise. They also discovered something suspicious, prompting one suspect to be questioned separately. >> What's in that bag? >> I don't really know. >> You don't really know. So, why are you taking something from a friend that you don't know? That looks kind of suspicious to me. You got some type of residue in there. There's a pipe. >> I don't know. >> Okay. Did >> So, what did you think it was? >> I didn't ask any questions. I just They told me to hold it. They're holding. >> Which friend told you to do that? >> No. >> They're not here. >> Okay. So, you're carrying a random suspicious bag. >> I know. >> That they told you to carry for you >> without knowing what it is. >> Okay. When did they give you that? >> I don't know. It's been there like I don't know how many weeks. >> How many what? >> It's been like there for like four weeks. >> For 4 weeks. >> Okay. So, you have no idea what it is. They just told you to hold on to it for them. >> Okay. >> So, it comes back tested for narcotics, you're in tr trouble cuz you know Russian narcotics, right? So, I would stop whipping and tell us what the hell that is. >> I don't know if I know one way or another. >> Right. But now you're But you're 19 years old carrying around clearly some kind of narcotic. >> I can I don't know. >> I don't know. >> It doesn't matter. You're in possession of narcotics. You and I both know that's some kind of legal substance. >> Even if you're saying it's your friends and she's telling you to hold it for you or he is telling you to hold it for you, you're you're in possession. So, you're you're screwed basically. All right. >> Okay. Who stole the post? So your top was to steal. >> Yes. >> Okay. So you want to tell me who stole the P? Is it your girlfriend over there? >> I don't know which one. >> Answers like I don't know or it's my friends came from this woman calmly without a hint of remorse as if they had been prepared in advance. But even worse was the attitude of the other female suspect. >> Sit down. No. Right now you're you're being detained. Sit down. Do you want me to put you Do you want me to put you in handcuffs or do you want to sit down? Because we're investigating a crime right now. Okay. But can I just >> Do you want to go in cuffs? No. I just told you to sit down. I just told you to sit down. Turn around. >> Turn around. >> I'm nervous. Turn around. >> I told you twice. We're going to let you sit down and hang out, but you don't want to do that. >> Sit down. >> I just told you to sit down. I'LL FIGURE IT OUT IN A SECOND. >> LISTEN, we're trying to sort things out. So am I. I'm just asking questions. She's being aggressive as >> you won't listen. Okay. I'm just asking questions. I just reached out to my scissors. >> The tone is what it is. What question do you have? >> That's her tone. She want me strong and I'm just telling her. I'm just trying to ask questions. >> What's the question? >> Was I ever strong on you? No, it was her. >> Ma'am, y'all talking about I'm trying to No, >> now it's us. >> Do you have a question? >> Okay. No. No. Now it's me. Y'all have been hard on me and I've been calm as >> I just wanted to ask questions. >> We're not being hard on you. You're the suspect. >> I just been asking question. I just want to ask questions. >> There's no need to yell, miss. I'm standing. >> Exactly. That's what I've been trying to say. No more reason for y'all to yell. >> Talking about you. >> Exactly. Cuz she knows she was real with the problems. >> Okay. Can I talk? Can I talk to the person that's like getting arrested before >> the other? No, not right now. Do you understand? Because you're both suspects in crime. We don't need you collaborating on what your story is. That's fine. That's all I want. Okay. But here's the thing. >> When I came around the corner, there's three of you, right? We don't know what's going on. We don't know what people have. So, tensions are high. >> Well, yeah. When I see 12 stop in front of me, obviously I'm going to get scared like if there's cops stopping in front of me. >> Well, we didn't just stop. Listen, we didn't just stop and you >> Yes, you did. You stopped in front of me, flashed flashlights on my face, and was like, >> "Don't run." >> Yeah, I started giving you lawful orders. Do you know why? Because you matched the description of suspects that just committed a crime. >> Two females and one male dressed in a gray t-shirt and jeans. And I saw him earlier when I was driving through the parking lot. The only male suspect was also questioned separately and seemed to follow the same script. They all denied stealing, but he had an explanation for where the merchandise came from. >> Oh, he also went to the dollar, but like No, we actually paid for the stuff there like that. We just buy a receipt for it. >> No, we we pay like Apple cash like you know on the phone like >> and they didn't give you a receipt or anything like that. >> Like we even have >> Well, right now we're investigating all this so trying to figure it out. She's 19. >> We're on 19. >> Okay. >> How can you prove that you bought this stuff? Like you got like a Chase app or something. >> You didn't buy it. Okay. Where'd you guys take it from? >> Our Burlington. >> The one right here. >> Yeah, it was it was it was him. >> What was that? >> It was We just walked out the cart and like we got our stuff out and we got our stuff and we asked him. He was like, "What the what's going on?" She started running. cuz you said you didn't pay for it. >> Well, obviously no. I didn't take it. >> Do you want me to put you in my car? >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> Okay. Come on. >> Sit for a sec. >> Okay. So, what happened? So, he took the two sweaters out of Burlington. >> Yeah. We were just >> And he started running. >> No, we were just trying to shop there and like um we just like um cuz we came from Dollar Tree, so we came from there. So, we already have our stuff in the car. So we had like to burn right. >> He had like parted ways and I thought he was going to go like a message or whatever but he came back and he was like let's go let's go let's go like so we left and the alarm started going off and actually like >> this woman eventually admitted what happened in detail causing all three of their false stories and excuses to fall apart. [music] But they still thought they wouldn't be arrested. They were all wrong. >> Yeah. >> Back up right now. >> We told you many times away from the car. So back up. >> Get it, you little >> sit down. >> Or not. >> Sit down. Chris. Chris. Chris. >> All right. Give my identification. Get my identification. >> YOU'LL GET IT BACK. >> Give me my identification. >> Give my ID right now. >> On body camera. You're acting like a child. >> You're being recorded. Don't ever grab me. Put your hands behind your back. >> Don't put your hand. >> No, you are not going to do this. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> YOU MADE A CHOICE. You made a choice. Don't ever put your hands on your back. >> Another unit. >> Christina, stop. >> Face the wall. >> Stop. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I WAS NOT DRIVING AWAY. WE WERE BACKING away from you. I asked you to back away. >> Don't ever put your hands on me. >> Exactly. >> I was literally trying to get a phone call to get your wallet, but you wouldn't let me. >> Why record this? >> You go. >> Let's go. >> Hey, get him.

Stop. >> All three were taken into custody afterward, but surprisingly after the investigation, none of them was charged with theft. However, their earlier actions led to other charges, including Christina Korea, 19, [music] was charged with battery and resisting a peace officer. Evelyn Garcia, 19, was taken into custody for possession of a suspected controlled substance pending lab results, while Alex Garcia, 19, was released at the scene. [snorts] One bad decision can quickly turn a simple investigation into something much more serious. Trying to avoid responsibility or resisting officers can create additional consequences, even when the original theft allegation does [music] not lead to charges. against unfortunate. >> On the 2nd of September 2023, officers approached a woman who was kneeling beside her bike in a parking lot after she was reportedly involved in a theft at a nearby store. But as soon as she noticed the officer, she quickly walked away. >> Hey, police. Stop. >> Fine. >> Stop. >> I'm fine. >> You're not free to go. I didn't do anything. >> Okay, you're not free to go. All right, so stop walking away from me. >> Oh my god. No. >> Okay, >> why don't you set your stuff down and talk to me, please? >> No, because I'm going to buy something. Please, stop. >> Put your stuff down. >> No. What did I do? >> Right now, you're being detained for investigation of theft. >> No. >> Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. >> I didn't mean to do anything. What did I do? >> Like I said, you're being detained for investigation of theft. Okay. No, >> stop. >> No, please. Please. >> Can I get female in custody? >> Everything. >> Okay. Like I said, you're being detained, not arrested. Okay. >> No. [ __ ] my life. >> You have any weapons on you? >> No way. >> I don't want to go shoot. >> What's your warrant for? The woman was then escorted to the car and her emotions began to escalate, making it seem as though she was the victim here. >> [ __ ] my life. Don't be >> I'm not taking you anywhere. I'm just putting you in my car right now. What's your name? >> Taylor. >> Taylor what? >> Wyatt. [laughter] >> Taylor what? >> Wyatt. >> Okay, go ahead and step in here for me. >> Here, let me get this out of your hand real quick. Okay, you're not going anywhere just yet. Okay, >> put your put your feet in the car and I'm going to go get your stuff so it doesn't walk away. Okay. >> No, I'm paying for it. I didn't get paid for I told her I had a choose. >> All right, I'm going to advise you of your rights right now. Okay. [crying] >> No, >> we're under arrest on your warrant. >> No, no, no. I don't want to go to jail. [laughter] >> Oh, no. No. Am I supposed to see my kid? >> You have the right to remain silent. ANYTHING USED AGAINST YOU in a court OF LAW. >> I HATE THAT. PLEASE. >> Amid her panic, the woman was still able to plead for mercy, making it seem like she was completely familiar with this kind of behavior. >> Do you understand these rights [clears throat] I explained to you? [laughter] >> No, I don't want to go. Please, please, please. I hate that place so much. >> Something about something I [clears throat] read that you're not. I can't talk to you. Okay. I swear I said it was in there and she rang it up. I'll pay for it. Please [laughter] >> turn around. >> Please. Please. No. No. No. No. Don't take me. Officer, please. I hate that jail. Please. Please. No. I was just getting it taken care of. >> It's not possible that you can't get it taken care of. >> [crying] >> Yes, I can't. [screaming] NO, I LOVE YOU. WHY? [crying] PLEASE. >> The officer then checked the woman's information in the system and got an unexpected result, making the situation even more serious. >> Why don't you care? Do I look like I'm a bad person? >> I never said you were a bad person. I never called you crazy. All I said was that you were detained for investigation of theft and then you have a warrant. Okay. After I arrested you on your warrant, searched your purse. I found what looks like to be drugs in there. So, you're being booked on theft. You're being booked on controlled substance possession. And you're being booked on your warrants. Okay. That's the way it goes. The jail accepted you on your warrant. >> No, they always do. >> Cuz it's a DB warrant and it's not possible. >> No, I don't want to be But it didn't stop there. At the police station, she was searched again and officers discovered a little secret hidden on her. >> Earlier today, you [ __ ] >> I [ __ ] blame. I've only been once. I said I would pay for it. I I see it was missed on the [ __ ] receipt. I was literally doing that and I was like, she didn't ask. >> Okay, I'm going to take this haircut for a second. [laughter] What was your name? Taylor. >> Taylor Wy. >> Can you see my name today? >> Y w y A T. >> No. Depressed. >> No. >> Let me get your jewelry back. >> You need help? Can I help you? >> I just can't do this, dude. [ __ ] hell last time. >> Finally, the woman was charged with misdemeanor theft and possession of a controlled substance along with being taken into custody on an outstanding warrant. Panic and excuses won't make the consequences disappear. Once officers uncover more violations, a simple theft investigation can quickly become much more serious. >> This is your bag. >> But there's stuff in it. >> When you say stuff in it, what do you mean? >> But just concealing an item is shoplifting. >> You know, I have a shoplifting. >> On the 17th of June, 2026, officers approached a woman after suspecting her of concealing merchandise. But when approached, she denied the act while suspiciously the bags she had brought with her were already raising questions. How you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> Good. Good. I'm officer string around the police department. >> Are you stealing anything? >> I'm not going to steal. >> I promise. >> Okay. So, you're going to buy all this? >> I'm just looking at it and then I'm going to go through it. That's all I'm doing. >> Okay. Do you have grocery bags in here already? >> I have bags in there already. Yes. >> Where'd you get the bags? >> I had them when I come in. >> You usually don't have bags when you come in. I had them when I come in the door. >> I'm going to look at the camera. I had them when I come in the door. >> I know that. That's the That's the issue. >> You have academy bags? >> No, they're not academy bags. >> What kind of bags are there? >> One's just a black bag, one's a purple duffel bag, and the other one is a cloth bag. >> Okay. So, they don't want you here. >> Okay. >> They're right as a business owner, they can do that. >> Mhm. So, what I would do is either get what you're going to get. I'll be right here with you. So, if you're not going to buy any of it, then be that as it may, but whatever you're going to buy, we'll take to the front and we'll buy. >> Okay. So, you want me to get my stuff out of here? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Hey, Frank. >> You want to see how it >> You want her trespassed or you just want her to leave? >> Yeah. >> Trespass. >> Okay. Yeah. So, if you're going to buy something, do you are you going to allow her to make a purchase at all or you just want her gone? >> Gone. That's >> okay. >> It seemed like things would end with a trespass order and her simply leaving the store. But as officers dug deeper into her shopping cart, they changed their decision. >> There's stuff in this bag. >> This is your bag. >> But there's stuff in it. >> When you say stuff in it, what do you mean? Um cuz I was going to take it up there paper. I just dumped it in there to >> Do you want to prosecute? >> Yes. >> Okay. Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. Come on. >> Come on. >> Please don't. >> The moment you conceal something in a bag, a shot. >> I wasn't trying to steal it. I swear >> you can't conceal it in a bag. >> Please don't do this. >> Got one insurance. >> What? What if this is yours? >> The bags are mine. This is yours? >> Yes. >> Okay. Is there anything in this bag from the store? >> No, there are in those bags that I'm not wanting to. But I wasn't going to steal. I promise. >> Okay. Well, that's that if you read shoplifting. Okay. >> Mhm. I can't take my hand out to help you. I ain't going to move. I promise. >> This is your bag, too? >> You want to uh >> get it? >> Get a uh of of all the items that she concealed. I'll need a price for that. >> Is this your bag? Are there items in the store from this? >> At this point, officers intended to issue the woman a ticket, but her honesty afterward completely changed the seriousness of the situation. >> What's your name? >> Amanda. Can I call you in? I'm going to jail. >> So, depending on how much this is, it may just be a ticket. You're going to go with me. We'll process you. We'll write a ticket for you. >> I'm on probation. I'm going to jail. >> Just being on probation. I don't >> 123. >> Go ahead. Long ain't got a warrant. Amanda risk out a virus trial is valid and negative. >> Doesn't even say that you're on probation. >> Okay. It might have ended. I know it's ending this month. >> Okay. So, depending on the amount determines on how we move forward, there's a lot of stuff you concealed. If it's more than $500, >> then you're you're going to parry. Yes, sir. >> If it's less than $500, I'm writing you a ticket, putting you on your way. Unless you have more. Have you ever been caught shoplifting before? >> Yes. >> How many times? >> I was a repeat offender. >> So, you know, your fourth one's a felony regardless. Okay. This isn't as long as I >> So, this is your fourth chop. >> Yeah. >> My partner should be here soon. I'm gonna I'll uh put her with him and then I'll come get all the information. >> Something that's in that bag, so I don't >> What's in the bag? >> There's drugs in the bag. >> Okay, we'll we'll deal with that. >> She continued admitting to more offenses, prompting officers to search her bags. Taking advantage of her cooperation, they continued asking about the locations where she had hidden them. >> All right, I will take the five if you want me to. Um, he said that you got some stuff in that bag that I need to know about. Where in the bag is it at? >> It's on the side pocket in the little pouch that's clipped onto the purse. >> Gotcha. I'm going to I'm going to open my hat. It'll be back there. Okay. She had three bags. >> Let me get my gloves real quick. >> Yeah, that's what she just told me where it was. >> Oh, not my book. Don't be playing in the background book. I feel like the most omega nerd cuz I'm listening to the original telling of King Arthur. >> That is that's great though. >> Yeah, dude. It's like an all in old English, too. >> But, uh, Frank called. All I did was she had items stuck in here, item stuff in here, and item stuck in here. All I did was take all that stuff out. >> Everything else? >> Did we get a receipt for the items? >> Uh, Frank's working on it now. >> She said, "Is it on the black bag or the blue bag?" >> The pink. >> Pink purse. the pink purse. Yeah, >> but it's probably going to be >> And it's in the side pouch here. >> Yeah, that little the little clip long like >> There it is. I got it. When did we get back on this? >> Um >> I thought you were off. >> I was I was doing good. >> You were? Why' we fall off the wagon, my girl? >> Uh cuz I got beat up the other day and I just fell off. >> Is there anything else in this bag I need to know about? Sir, >> any needles? Knives? >> No, no, no. >> But it didn't stop there. During the investigation, officers discovered several more things that could lead to additional charges against her. >> Those I never used. They're not mine. >> You're not supposed to have them. >> Oh, >> right. You're not supposed to have somebody else's bank card. >> Okay. >> Right. So, who is Mary Cooper to you? >> Um, that's >> And who's the banker banker sisters? >> It's the same person. There you go. >> It is the same person. Why do you have two of somebody else's ID and more meth? >> More meth? >> Yeah, we found it in your little lip skin purse. >> Oh, I didn't know there was any in there. >> I really do. >> That's not good, girl. You shouldn't be using it so often that you forget where you put your last amount. That's bad, right? That's bad. >> Okay, I'm ask again. >> Mhm. >> I'm going to go through this bag now and I'm going to go go through it. I'm going to open every pouch, every pocket, every purse, >> and everything. >> There should be nothing in there. >> There should be nothing. No other meth. I'm not >> No, I swear. Like, I wouldn't have did that correctly. >> And you smoke. Correct. You smoke yours. You don't inject. Yeah. Right. Okay. Where's your pipe? >> I didn't bring that pipe on me. >> You You brought the bath. >> I didn't I just got it. >> Why are you saying it like you didn't bring the other bit? Like, all right, hang tight. I'm going to come put you in my car in a second. >> She also had some of that. >> So, that's pretty cool. That's awesome. 8981 is what she had. >> In the end, the woman was charged with felony shoplifting, possession of methamphetamine, and identity fraud. In July 2026, she pleaded guilty to all three charges, and with seven prior shoplifting convictions, was [music] sentenced to 20 years with the first 10 years to be served in prison. Concealing merchandise can turn a simple shopping trip into a criminal case, especially when other illegal items are discovered during the investigation. Cooperating with officers may help clarify what happened, but it does not erase the consequences of the underlying conduct. >> Come here. >> Okay. Okay. You don't have to. >> Don't walk away from me. >> Okay. I'm not walking away. >> Just put a handcuff. >> On the 4th of February, 2026, police approached two women who had just walked out of Dick Sporting Goods. There was little to say when both were suspected of hiding multiple items inside their hoodies. Here's what happened next. Hey girls, can you guys stop for a second? Nearly enough for a second on the door. Stop right here. Come here. >> Okay. Okay. You don't have to pull over. >> Don't walk away from me. >> Okay. I'm not walking away. >> Walk away from me. >> Okay. >> Stand over here. >> Okay. >> Put your bag down for me. >> Take your hand out of your pocket. >> Still not 25. You guys take anything from the store? >> No. >> No. >> You didn't take anything? >> No. I just was going to buy something from out of there from them. >> Did you buy anything? >> No, because they didn't have the signs. I'm on the phone with my boyfriend right now. >> They did have the signs that I >> Okay. They're saying you went into the dressing room, came out, you went in with some stuff, came out, didn't have the stuff. They went and checked. >> No, not me. I gave the lady the stuff. You gave the lady. >> Okay. You gave who? >> It's a um white lady with black hair. >> Okay. She'll tell you I gave her the stuff that I walked in the dressing room with. >> Hang out first. Who did you give her stuff to? >> It's a white lady. She She was I don't know her name or nothing. She was standing right there when I came down and I gave her the items. >> Where? >> By the dress room. She was standing right there putting on clothes on rackets and stuff. >> Works in here. >> Yes. >> While they denied stealing and claimed they had returned everything as if that erased any wrongdoing, a store employee had a very different story that confirmed their actions. Do we know if they actually took anything or? >> So that was so they went in. When they went in, we opened up the fitting room. Everything was empty. When they came out, there were two empty hangers top 10 15. >> Came out with only two hangers. So >> Okay. >> And then so the one is saying that she gave some stuff to one of the workers when she came out. >> Yeah. The second time she gave she saw me coming as quick and behind them. probably trying to leave also now, but also right behind them. >> All right. >> So, you you're the one you're the one who saw them. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm doing. >> Let's see if they Let me see if they got anything on when I open the >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, do you want to do you want to press charges or you want to >> trespass? >> You want to just do trespass warning? cuz I don't know, but whatever they did. >> The officer then searched one of the women and found her wearing three pairs of pants, making her original purpose for coming there look less like shopping. >> That's what's in your pocket. >> Hold on. I got it. Stop. Put your hands up. You have a pocket in here. >> Two pants. >> I see that. My own pants. >> Got three pants. >> 53.98 alpha. >> I'm almost like 538 alpha. >> This has a tag on it. Are these their pants, too? >> No, I don't know. >> You would have known. You did it in the change. They're their pants. Okay. >> That one. Put your hands on the wall. >> But the other one not. >> So the black pants are there. >> Yeah. >> You have anything else in your bra? >> After the officer's discovery, the woman who had been so defiant earlier was now forced to feel embarrassed as she pulled out the items she had hidden on herself. Somebody stare at her. >> Just put handcuffs on her now. >> Let We'll do that right here. >> Ah, so that's why you guys have tin foil. It turned out that while in the fitting room, the suspect had used the time to wrap the security tags in foil, preventing the alarms from going off and showing that her actions were carefully [music] planned. [snorts] But it seemed the suspects hadn't planned on getting caught as they became visibly distressed in the patrol car. >> You call stop. >> Bae, I can't hear you, bro. I can't hear you. Um, I need to get on my hand, bro. That's why I be hating when I be beefing with you and [ __ ] bro. Damn. >> Yes, it do. We got a lot to do with you. Wait, auntie did not want to give you a phone. >> Can I call my director? >> No, >> cuz she needed that. >> Make a call later. I don't know her about her and she got her phone and write it down for you. >> My phone broke so I have to talk to S. I can't do it for you right now. Write it down your phone. You >> can't go in cuz it's broke. I have to talk to Siri. Yeah. If I talk to Siri. >> Okay. So I can talk to Siri. You want to log in? I go to >> No, the screen don't work at all is what I'm saying. Like I have to talk to her and tell her to call like right or something. >> Okay. >> That's not your name. Okay. >> Okay. >> It's the same with me, too. I'm sorry. >> You gave the wrong name, too? >> Yeah. I was scared. >> Why you guys giving fake names? >> Cuz I was I was I was scared. Yeah. >> What? Yeah. Yeah. I want to take me on a warrant as well. >> Oh, I don't know. >> In the end, Stephanie Azor and Deborah Ayania Screen were charged with grand theft of $750 to under $5,000 and possession of an anti-shoplifting device. Trying [snorts] to hide stolen merchandise or disable security devices can turn a simple theft into more serious charges. One bad decision can quickly create even bigger consequences. Come on. That's not my ass. She put that on me, man. I'M LIKE, "GRANDMA, THAT'S NOT MY ASS." >> On the 21st of February, 2024, police received a report from a Dillard store about a woman suspected of shoplifting, who had been detained in the store's loss [music] prevention office. As soon as the officers arrived, they immediately placed her under arrest. >> Right there, cuz if I got to chase you, you have a bad day. I'm [ __ ] RIGHT THERE. I CAN'T TAKE IT. >> Hold on. My arm. I can't take nothing. >> Hello. >> Stop dising. Let me just ask you something. I can ask a question. >> I will dump you on the ground. You do not stop. >> Mr. Ask a question, please. Can I ask a question? I'm >> too late for that. >> I didn't do nothing. No, ma'am. I can't take nothing. >> Ma'am. >> Ma'am, just let him do what he got. >> Do not make me use force. something. >> Don't make me use force. >> Okay. Now, put my phone in my pocket. >> Nope. Put your hands behind your back. >> Can I put my phone in my pocket? >> Hands behind your back. I'm going to put my phone in my pocket. >> I told you. Can I? >> No, you cannot. >> I don't know where you going. >> I'm moving. >> I am. You can take me to the bathroom, please. >> Stop my phone, >> ma'am. >> The woman was then brought back to the loss prevention office along with the stolen items they had found. However, she immediately began denying that they belonged to her. Sir, >> that's not mine. And I'm not getting that's not mine. My grandma. Okay. >> I swear to God I did touch that. >> I hear you. >> I don't even know what you're referring to, but Okay. >> Yes, it is. I saw what she called you. She called me over. I said, "Should you call me if you want to call? I don't have nothing." So, she said that's mine. Be honest. Huh? That's not my hand. She put that on me, man. On my grandma. That's not my That's not mine, man. On my kids. That's not mine. I swear to God, that's not my hand. >> All right. You have a right here, man. Silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to talk to a lawyer. Have him ask question. >> If you cannot afford a if you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any question. >> That's not my stuff right there. No longer at [laughter] any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions. >> Don't do this. >> I swear TO GOD, THAT'S NOT MY >> I read you. >> No, I got a jacket. You would have seen all that stuff fell out OF ME. I HAVE >> THE RIGHTS THAT I [laughter] READ. >> NO. >> Do you understand your rights? >> That's not my stuff. >> All right. Well, do you understand your rights? >> No. >> Okay. [snorts] >> Well, guess what? I can't talk to you now. >> By constantly giving inconsistent denials, the woman was only making herself less believable, even avoiding questions about her own information. >> Can you give me your first name? I'm getting locked up. >> Can you spell your first name for me? >> I'm getting locked up. Let me ask you that. >> If you you spell me your first name for me. >> Can you loose? >> Can you lose it though for you, man? It's >> actually very loose. So, I'm not going to >> I ain't nothing outside. I didn't take no clothes outside. I told him, man, I picked up. I didn't take no clothes outside. Man, I get my phone. My phone down there. You wouldn't let me stop to talk to her. Oh, right now while you're in custody, he can't give you your phone. >> Okay. I'm saying, "Would I be in trouble?" He said, "I wouldn't be in charge with that right now." That [ __ ] hurt. It's like hurting. >> So, I'm not going to wonder what I'm in here now. >> They're not made for comfort, but the way he put them on, they're still pretty loose. So, they are That's how they fit. >> But they said, "I'm getting char." I didn't have that. I have no idea what he's doing or what he's talking about. I'm just here because he called for us. >> What he was saying? >> He just called for us to come. >> Can I just go get my mama, please? >> Oh, no, ma'am. Not yet. Now, while you're in our custody, while you're in your custody, you have to wait and see what the officer is going to. >> Her denials were clearly not being believed, and she seemed to realize it. She eventually admitted what she had done while offering excuses to lessen the blame. >> I don't want to lose everything. I did took the clothes but I never made it out the door after I seen her calling your number on the inter. I'm being honest with my dad. So I threw it on the side by the thing. I never made it out. I already knew she was calling me on the inter car. She called some type of numbers and I said, "Oh." And I threw it under a little thing. When I walked down, you seen me, I was already scared and I ran back in. I'm being honest. When you seen me, I ain't had no bumpy clothes or no purse or nothing like that. I swear to God I didn't violence. >> I'm being honest to you and I apologize for real. >> Can you ban me? I'll never come back. Please. I got a lot to lose. Please give me another chance. Please. I swear to God, I won't come back. I won't. >> I did take it, but I never made out the door with it. I never did. I was coming down the little steps part. I heard her call a cold. I said, "Oh, she I take my mouth and she call the police >> and I threw it to the side." >> Don't tell him. >> I'm I'm just I'm talking baby Coloss. My grandbaby. Mhm. I never made it out the door with it though. From claiming she never took the merchandise out of the store to asking to be banned, her words suggested she may have dealt with a similar arrest before and knew how to handle the situation. Even then, she showed no shame, continuing to beg for another chance. >> Can I just get one more chance, please? >> No, ma'am. >> Can I call Can I call my mom? >> No, ma'am. You can call when you get to the jail. >> You work here? I do. >> You a secret shop? >> No. >> Oh, I can ask a question, but I ain't let it out the door, though. You still made the attempt. You passed the point of sale. >> I mean, I had I was right there. It's still a register right there. >> You still made the attempt to walk out the store, >> but I never made out the door. I thought he >> But you made the attempt and like Officer Wright said that's all you needed to say. >> But I'm saying I never like heard of that. I never >> I'm saying excuse me. I can never mind. I can't even talk. I let y'all talk. What? What you have to say? >> What I'm saying? >> I'm listen. I'mma listen to what you have to say before I go upstairs. Go. >> I'm saying when I had came out. >> I did. I dropped it right there. I never had left the store, though. I never left the store. >> What did the officer tell you in the state of Georgia? >> How much um how much it came up to? >> Oh, I don't know. >> Yeah. I don't I feel like that's not fair. I didn't leave the store. I was not with the merchandise. What's not fair if you're trying to items? >> Okay. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> The more she showed her attitude, the more she appeared to show no remorse. She seemed to keep changing who she was asking, hoping someone would give her another chance. >> Please just give another chance. Please. >> No, ma'am. That is not my choice. >> Please. >> No, ma'am. Well, you think I lose everything I got? >> I don't know what your situation is, man. I >> Your incident has been updated. >> So, y'all got the Y'all got me walking out the door with it. >> I tell you what I do have. I have you over there in the kids section concealing that merchandise. >> I told you. Of course. I picked up >> and attempting to leave the store. >> Yeah. But when after she turned When she turned the little numbers on the interarm, I straight dropped it. >> Okay. And that right there is intent to shop which in the state of Georgia. This pen belongs to the store. >> I take this pen put in my pocket. I shop. >> So you've been made aware of what's going on. I never left the store with the stuff. How I'm being locked up. >> So shoplifting is concealing. So did you conceal? >> Yeah, but I stopped at the back. >> Go ahead and stand up for me. I'm going to search you. You got anything on you? >> What is this? What are you doing? You trying to get out of your handcuffs? >> Oh, it was too tight. >> It was too tight. If it was too tight, >> if it was too tight, how' you get out of it? >> My phone. Can you give me my phone, please? >> Finally, Chantel was charged with shoplifting. Denying the evidence or making excuses will not erase the consequences of the crime. When the evidence is already clear, taking responsibility and cooperating is a better choice than continuing to argue or beg for another chance. >> Stop. Stop. >> Don't make it worse than it already is, ma'am. Please >> keep you catching more charges, man. >> You catching more charges. >> On May 10 at a Walmart in Savannah, Georgia, police approached a woman with unpaid merchandise in her hands after she had passed the final point of payment. It seemed like an open andsh shut case, but you wouldn't expect the strange calmness that came from her afterward. >> How you doing, man? >> Too late. >> Please don't do it for me. Please >> stop. Stop. Please >> don't make it worse than it already is. Ma'am, >> don't do it to me. Please. Please don't do it. >> I don't care. >> Please, sir. >> Please, sir. Please sir. Please sir. Please. >> Metro. She's running from me. Start them quick. And she's in the store still. >> A game of cat and mouse then began, but the woman clearly knew what she was doing. Moments later, she immediately ran out the door and headed toward what she believed was a SAFE PLACE. [screaming] WE'RE out back in the parking lot. Silver still running. >> Please. Please. Get away from me. Get away from me. Keep >> you catching more charges, man. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. >> You catching more charges. >> Get away from me. I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail. >> I can't I can't go to jail. >> I can't go to jail. If >> you spray me with that [ __ ] I'm going to put you in jail. >> You going to put me in jail anyway? felony. >> Metro, she just sprayed me with mace. She's in a white sedan fleeing in the car. The woman could have successfully escaped because she did not hesitate to pepper-spray the officer, an act that could expose her to a charge of simple battery against a police officer under OCGA section 1 6523 at But in Savannah, Georgia, her escape would only be temporary as the incident gave police even more reason to take her into custody later. Shout out Baron's Way. >> Baron's Way. >> Oh, okay. >> It's just a rough time for me. >> Okay. That's still not an excuse for anything. >> Yeah, I know. >> Okay. >> I checked >> drainage ditch. >> Yeah, we'll just I don't got nothing. >> I've already gone through pockets. >> Okay. >> 1343. I had an entrance. There you go. >> Walking around. >> Oh boy. >> Yeah, you're good. >> My name is Sergeant Washington. This is Detective Brunson. We're both uh property crimes detectives uh for Seattle police. How you doing? Can we get you the thing to drink? >> We heard the officer side of the story. We heard officers on scene side of the story. We heard your family side of the story. Do you want to talk to us and let us know what's going on? What happened? Why you did what you did? >> Rough. No. >> It's a yes or no, ma'am. I just have to read something to you if you do want to speak to us. >> Okay. Give me a second. >> Once again, we want to make sure you're okay. You want water? You want anything? Is is you feel the air in there? You feel the air there. You see? It's pretty cool. >> It's okay. >> Okay. All right. Give me one second. All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. >> She showed no shame at all when she was arrested, as if she felt no remorse. She even had no hesitation in turning the officer's attempt to restrain her resistance into a story that portrayed her in a better light. >> Does any drugs today? >> No. >> Okay. Are you um >> in a good mental capacity at the moment? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Um so again, I spoke with everybody. I'm detective process. My sergeant watch. We spoke with everybody pretty much involved. Um do can you walk us through what happened? You know that you were trying to get some baby clothes for theever. I think you told the officer that. Can you walk me through from there of you procuring the items and why that was done? >> Well, it was done cuz it was stupid. So, you know, I ain't can't make no excuse for that. But >> I didn't even get out the door, like I ain't put no stuff in my purse or nothing. So, like when I was like, "Okay, I'll put the stuff down." He just like kind of manhandled me and like I was like, and then he said, "I don't." And that's what really >> triggered it. >> Okay. And then from there, what happened now? I tried to get the phone. >> Okay. You said he manhandled. >> Thank you. >> He said he manhandled you. Did he grab you on the shoulder? The arm. >> He grabbed my arm. He grabbed my wrist. >> Okay. >> He grabbed my side. He had a little bit. Yeah. He rough me up. And like >> it didn't stop there. Besides the shoplifting, her earlier attempt to flee also raised another issue as she had violated traffic laws. >> I was outside the house. Officers trying to stop me. Took off. Going about 100. >> Going about 100. stupid man. It was stupid, man. Like, you know, I can't make no excuse for you driving, you know. You know, you could have worked for us >> like >> took off. >> I can't make no excuse for it, you know. >> I'm not going to try to make an excuse for it. It was stupid, you know. It just it's just a hard time, but it's just it's just it's no excuse for it. But like if that officer wouldn't have roughed me up like that, then I wouldn't have >> you would have just said, "Hey, I did it." Whatever. >> Yeah. And you know, just it is what it is. Um, okay. At which point now that leads us to here. >> Again, what you driving? I I don't know what school you went to for driving, but I mean, you talking about fitting a needle in a in something that small. What were you doing? That's impressive. >> Give me a job I won't have to steal. >> Yeah. I think a little late for that if you would have a couple months back. >> I think you still got job offers because that's some serious driving, you know. Some serious driving. >> It's not funny. It's not funny. >> No. I'm sorry, but it got you can't just be handling people all kind of jacked up ways like that. >> And I appreciate you and I'll let him know. >> I apologize. >> Okay. I appreciate you speaking with us. Um I hope you feel better. >> What's going on with you? >> I don't know this hell it just in my eyes. My eyes water. >> Mhm. >> Got you. Probably got some pepper spray on your hair. >> Yeah. From earlier, >> right? Right. And then >> cuz it's burning. >> Yeah. You might got some pepper spray. And then your lashes or whatever. I know EMS was just here. Did they look at you? Yeah, but it wouldn't burn it then. >> Okay. Okay. >> Well, we'll try to get you out of here. We see you get some transport. Okay. >> You ready to go now? >> In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting and felony obstruction. Trying to shift the blame after making a mistake does not change what happened. Taking responsibility and cooperating could prevent a bad situation from becoming even worse. Next, this teenager faced his first costly lesson in growing up. >> Okay, your name's not Justin. cuz we can go ahead add another charge here. All right. All right. Go ahead and put your hands. >> Who is who is Justin? >> Is that you? Okay. >> On April 4th, 2024, police received a report of an individual using a stolen credit card to purchase food at Texas Roadhouse. Here's what happened when officers arrived on the scene. >> 5525869. Just advising they haven't checked in yet, so just standing by to see if they come up. The individuals who placed this order have not checked in yet. When I check in, I will advise what spot they're parked in. >> I wasn't really sure like if I should call, if I wouldn't be able to do anything. >> Did Did Jen call? >> She did. So, yeah, she lives in Tennessee. >> She was really mad. >> Understood. >> I'd understand, too, if someone ordered Texas Road in a place that I wasn't getting the food. >> 3074. >> Exactly. Hopefully they show up and it's not a waste of your time. >> Do you guys usually have like an amount of time that you wait before you just or you just when you close if it's left over you just get rid of it? >> Yeah. Throw it out. We I told the kitchen not to use it. Like obviously I'm not going to give them free food. >> Yeah. >> So they placed it. This is the actual owner. This is the name they put it under. Just >> Okay. 6ix9ine. He's right up here in front. I don't know what car is in, but he's just standing up here. >> No, >> he's standing right here in the >> black hooded sweatshirt. >> Based on the gathered description, police were able to approach the suspect who was completely unaware that his actions had been detected. >> Hi. >> Hi there. Can I talk to you? >> Yeah. >> Did you place an order for pickup? Uh, it was Yeah. >> Okay. Whose car did you use? >> It was uh my friend's not my friend. It was this card that my friend had gave me. >> You just use a random card >> to be honest. You have your ID with you? >> Um, yeah. >> Hold on. >> Oh, where we going? I was going to go get my ID. >> Well, did you drive here? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I asked you if you have your ID. Yeah, I didn't ask you to go walk to your car. >> Oh, okay. >> What's your name? >> Ricardo. >> Do you know your social? >> What's your name? >> All right. >> Just have a seat right here on the bench. Just have a seat. Let's just have a seat right here. >> Okay. Your name's not Justin cuz we can go ahead another charge here. All right. >> Go ahead and put you guys. >> Where's your car? Did you come here alone? Oh, I m >> The man's deception ended up expediting his own arrest as he no longer denied anything. At this point, even his expression showed genuine remorse. >> Do you have anything on you that you shouldn't have right now? >> No. >> You're under arrest, so you are going to be searched. >> Tell us now if there's nothing on you. >> You have something? >> No, it's just my baby. >> Your baby? How old are you? >> 18. >> 18. >> Can I call my mom? You can't make any calls right now. >> Don't try and relax. >> I know. I'm being nice. You got something right now. [music] >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can will be used against you in a court of law.

If you wish, you can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. You understand? >> All right. So, who is who is just that you? Okay. >> Yeah. We'll get him back here in the back of your car for now. >> I go my mom. >> What's your step? >> I'm going to go. >> Not Not right now. Searching. >> Yeah. Can you search him? >> Come over here. I search him. He cried over the outcome unfolding before him and shortly after he explained the reason behind his actions. All right. How old are you, man? >> I'm 18. >> 18. Where do you go to? Do you go to storage? Did you graduate? >> I go to coffee. Okay. We brought you all the way up here. >> I'm hungry. >> You're hungry? >> And I just wanted a nice meal. >> How did you get this credit card information? >> My friend gave it to me. I find it hard to believe his mom dropped him off in my kitchen. >> Who else is here with you? It doesn't make any sense. Somebody else is here with you. >> No, I swear to God on on everything. >> How did you get here? >> My mom took me home. I took you home. >> Yeah, I met She took me here to get food and she ran home. >> So, you were supposed to get here? >> Yes. >> You weren't supposed to just pick her up? >> No. Relax, >> bro. Just sit down. I see parent. >> You got him? >> Yeah. >> Can I call my mom, please? >> Not right now. I told you that three times. >> I know for what? Not right now. I told you that three times. You can a little bit, but not right now. Have a seat. >> Not going to lie, he was about to run. >> I know >> he was about to run. She's in She's in Tennessee. She says, "Someone placing order here." He walks up and says, "Hey, I got a pickup order for Justice or My name's Justice." And then when Taylor went to go ask him his name, he said, "What did he say?" Ricardo. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He said Ricardo. I'm going to go walk around the lot real quick. See if I can find these belong to. >> You want to hold on to that for me? His name's on there if you want to try and find him. I said he goes to the cop. I was going to text Kenny and see if he was familiar with the kid at all. >> He was getting ready to run. Oh yeah, for sure. Oh, well that's why that's why I stopped him. We're going that way cuz I'm like, where are you going? There it is. Chevy hit it again. Camaro. I wonder if this Camaro is stolen. >> Why would an 18-year-old kid have this car? >> Clearly, the man was only 18 years old and still not fully capable of taking responsibility for his actions. Repeatedly asking to call his mother. >> What did we just tell you, dude? >> Why can I not call my mom? >> Because you're detained pending a police investigation. Your mom is not a priority right now to us. >> Okay. I used a credit card. That's it. >> A stolen credit card. You used a credit card that did not belong to you. You did not have permission to use the credit card. Do you think this is just something we're just going to Oh, you know what? Just don't do that. >> No, I know. >> Right. Then that's what we're working out. Okay. So, let us get through what we need to get through. You know, if we determine that you're going to be under arrest, then there's a lot of there's a lot of moving parts that we have to get through. Okay. But once we get through that, I will let you call whoever you want. >> Have you done this before? >> No, this is my first time. >> Did you know it was a stolen credit card? And then he said, "Use this." And I was like, "All right." >> How does he get it? >> I don't know. >> Who's this friend? >> I can't say name. >> Is it somebody you met online or somebody you know in real life? >> Okay. >> I just want to see the last four of the men. 0296. 0296. All right. I'm going to run it and see what it comes back to. You said a Ricardo, but I want to see how old he is and where the guy lives. >> He said, well, they said 18 years old and he said his name is Ricardo. >> I wonder if he used a fake name to place the order. Is heating himself yet? >> Yeah, this is him. He said Ricardo first and then he said Justice Anton. Justice Anton is a fake name that he used for the order, but this is him. >> Okay. >> He was charged with misuse of a credit card and theft by deception. Even small acts of dishonesty can quickly escalate into serious legal consequences, and attempting to deceive authorities usually only makes matters worse. >> On the 23rd of June, 2025, police were dispatched to a Target store after the store had detained a woman for shoplifting there. Upon contact, the woman appeared confused by the [music] officer's actions and even denied. >> Are you back? Okay. >> Wait, can I call my dad? >> Uh, well, you can have your sister do that and you can call when you get to the jail. Okay. >> Stop. Don't make it. Don't catch another charge. Don't catch another charge. >> That's not going to Don't catch another charge. I didn't do anything. Are >> those? No, she bought me those. Oh my god. >> Yeah, this is all the stuff. So, >> as a matter of >> mine, >> you got anything in the other pocket? It'll be so much easier if you say you don't. Wait. >> All right, we're going to check. I read it. You want to check the pocket? >> Well, I'm sorry. I don't want to go to jail. >> Oh, you should have thought about that. Even your sister was telling me outside that she was telling you how much of a bad idea this was, and we should probably just put stuff back and leave. And you still did it. So, >> it could be seen that even her own family member admitted to her theft. So, there was no way for her to avoid being taken into custody at that moment. Um, >> wait. >> If you if you can just >> send a link and I'll put it in my name so we don't do stuff so she can send a video. >> Can I call my dad? >> You're you're under their custody. >> Can I call my dad? >> You can when you get to the jail. Okay. And then your sister can also let him know what's going on. Uh, grab that green bag. That's sister's bag. Thank you. >> Thank you. She's outside. Where'd she go? >> She's around here somewhere. I told her to hang tight. >> I know she left already. I don't know. I told her bag was coming. >> Don't catch another charge. Everything seemed like it would end there, but the moment the patrol car door was opened, her uncooperative attitude became even stronger, making the situation more difficult for the officers. >> Please stop. Stop. Please sit down. No. They said that they CALL my boyfriend. >> Put your hands behind your back right now. I'm not playing. Just stop. >> You're not going to be there long. Just stop. Stop. I'm going to jail. It was her own actions that had put her in the situation she was in. Yet, she showed no remorse, continuing to act frustrated even while sitting in the patrol car. >> Yes, until my shoes until Put your hands behind so it's not putting on that way. Do you have to spend on a day or am I getting an hour? >> I I don't know. I would say you should be able to talk to a judge soon, but don't quote me. I don't work at the jail. >> Well, go find somewhere to charge it and then and then tell him that. Do you know what jail I'm going to? >> Yeah. >> County. All right. I'll call you as soon as Call me as soon as you get home. Okay. >> I will. And I I tried to tell them it was my bag, but they kept blaming you. >> Doesn't matter. She was in possession of it. She was going to punch stuff inside of it. >> Taking my shoes. >> Yeah, I'm grabbing them. I'm going to put them up front. >> So, if I do this again, I'm I'm going to the big house this time. I mean, next time, >> dude. Well, I'm sorry. I can't hear you. >> I said next time this happens, I'm going to jail for real. >> Yeah. I mean, you're going to jail for real right now. You're going to jail. I mean, but you're not going to be there forever. But if you keep doing this, you keep up on that street, then yeah, you're going to end up in the big house. >> Okay. >> So, maybe let's take uh sister's advice and not keep doing this, right? >> Okay. >> And you already knew cuz you told me in there you're a trespass. >> I did say she wanted to come here. >> Well, you don't. But you know your trespass. >> I know. >> Hey, that should have been number one deterrent from coming here. But then to turn around and be trespassed and from and steal from here >> Mhm. and not being your first time stealing from here. That's the reason why you're going to jail. Okay. >> In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft, criminal trespass, and resisting a peace officer. Lesson learned. Ignoring storebs, denying clear evidence, and resisting law enforcement only escalated the situation into multiple criminal charges and more serious legal consequences. >> Stop. Stop. Look at the video before that. I did not do that. I thought she was paying for all the Are you serious? >> On December 24th, officers waited near Walmart's loss prevention office for a woman suspected of shoplifting. As soon as the theft alarm went off, they began approaching the woman who had triggered it. >> Come here. >> Well, I'm not doing nothing. >> Okay, then listen. >> Okay. No, no, no, no, no. I don't think No, you don't hurt me. No, I do not do >> What the No, just relax. Just relax. >> This is ridiculous. You need to talk to me first. This is [ __ ] No. >> I did not do nothing and this is ridiculous. >> This is ridiculous. Please stop. I would really greatly consider >> You're going to get your bag. >> No. No. >> You need to relax. No. No. Ma'am, >> this is And I do not consent. >> Okay. You don't have to consent. You don't have to consent to an arrest. I'm not really stopping. I'm not being >> No, right now you're being detained. >> Why though? >> We're conducting investigation now. You're being arrested for resisting. >> Wait. Wait. Really? No. Please don't. >> Now you're being arrested for resisting. >> What? >> Yeah. >> The woman immediately resisted, turning this into what could have been the fastest arrest the officers had ever made. But even after she stopped resisting, the tension was far from over. Told you to stop. I told you it stop. I told you put your hands behind your back and you resisted. Now you got a charge for resistance. So now you're under arrest. Okay. Do you have anything in your pockets I should know about? >> Face the wall. Face the wall. Stop. Stop. Please. Do this to me. Please. I didn't do anything. I put the basket back. Please stop. Please. Please stop. Don't take me to jail. Please don't take me to my birthday. >> Happy birthday. >> Please don't listen to me. You're hurting me. >> Okay, I can let go if you relax. That's it. >> You guys just stop and let me talk to you. >> You're not trying to talk to us. You're pulling away. >> But you're hurting me. Please. >> Okay. I'm not talking to you. You're not listening to it. >> I know you. No, I didn't. >> Okay. Well, we were telling you the tape. So, >> you came at me. Attack me and I do not do anything. Please stop. >> Stop. Relax. >> Please stop me. >> Her pleading and whining did not stop, but she also seemed to use it to her advantage as she later ignored the officer's questions and made it difficult to obtain her information. What's your first how you spell your first name? >> God, I'm so sad and scared to be so >> How do you spell your first name? >> Oh my god. >> Okay, so you're not going to tell me your name, [crying] please. Is there anything I can do? >> So, I'm going to give you a chance to tell me your name. >> Okay, please. Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can do? Please, because I don't want to go to jail. Please, please take it me or whatever you need to, but please do not take me to jail. Please. >> Oh, you talking about this receipt? >> I don't know which one's going to be. >> Well, she just had one just now. >> No, she just had the cash on her >> that she did a return. >> What time were you here early this morning? >> I don't know. Early >> now. What time is it right now? >> It's probably like 10:00, 11. It's 11:15. >> What time are you earlier? >> No, earlier today. >> I know, but what time was my Tuesday? I came. Are you serious? You really think that? >> No, I haven't. I put that with all my I put that on everything. On God, everything. I've never been to jail. Are you serious right now? You think you're taking me to jail before? >> I've never gone to jail before. >> I'm going to search you. Okay. Stab me on you. >> Just turn around. Stop being like a person. >> No one's hurting you. Stop being exaggerating. >> From the arrest to questioning and the body search, every step became unnecessarily complicated. But that wasn't all because she was reportedly known for stealing from this store before, making this incident far from ordinary. >> This mind you want to talk to me. >> No. >> About the shoplifting last night. >> What? about a shot lilting that occurred last night between 11 and 11:10 p.m. >> You don't want to talk to me about it? >> What are you asking me right now? >> Do you want to talk to me about what happened last night between 11:00 and 11:10 p.m. when you were here? >> What are you asking me? >> Okay, so you do want to talk to me. I need a yes or no before I ask you. Okay, >> whatever you want. >> Um, why did you take off with $400 and six $46.3 worth of items yesterday without paying for it? Oh [ __ ] >> Which part of the part you getting caught or the part you taking the stuff? >> Part of me taking stuff. >> Huh? >> I'm taking stuff, dude. >> About you taking stuff? >> Yes. >> Okay, but we have you on video camera. So, is there a reason why you walked out with all the stuff without paying for it? >> Oh my god, that's [ __ ] weird. >> It's not very smart when you come and shoplift with the same bright blue hair. You know what I mean? >> Oh my god. >> Okay. Do you want give any statements about the shoplifting last night? No. >> I didn't do anything. Okay. >> It wasn't me. I >> You want to see the picture? >> Yes. That was not me. >> It was not me who did that [ __ ] I promise you. I promise you. >> I stupid pain. >> I mean, look [laughter] at the same shirt, same jacket last night. >> That was my friend. >> I was I was in Please. I didn't do it. Look at the video before that. I did not do that. I thought you was paying for all that. Are you serious? You guys need anything for me? >> So, right now, >> I I can't talk to you if you keep crying. We're We're adults here. I get that you're upset, but you got to listen to me, okay? >> You understand that? Just Just take a deep breath, relax. >> Crying's not going to help anything right now. Okay. >> The woman was also found carrying a significant amount of meth, making her trip to jail even more certain. At this point, the officer explained the situation to a man believed to be her relative who was at the scene. >> In jail? Yes, man. Cuz this is the third time of you coming here within not even 24 hours. >> Oh my god. >> You can't just keep shoplifting, especially shoplifting $46 worth of stuff. >> For what? >> And pretend there's no consequence. >> Wait for what? >> Yesterday, last night 11:06, you sh Okay, that's something you're going to argue with in court. Go ahead and take a seat for me. >> Okay, but that's I promise. >> That's fine. That's perfectly fine, man. Go ahead and take a seat for me. >> Oh my god. I can't get me some water, please. It's so cold in here. >> Yeah. That's usually what happens with the weather in December. >> All right, sir. >> As of right now, regardless, she's going to go to jail because of the shoplifting today. She shot lil about $68 resisted and then she has the two grams of meth. Okay. Um >> if she wants to fight the charge for the shoplifting from yesterday for the $46, >> she can do that in court. She's going to have to talk to judge, man. So, it's not up to us. We have no say in it. Uh once she talks to the judge, just because it's a holiday, she might not talk to judge till Monday. Um so, I don't know. I don't know if they had one on call today to be honest with you. If they do have one on call today, they'll give her a bell and then they'll let her bounce. >> In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting and criminal trespass. One act of theft can quickly become much more serious when resistance and additional offenses are involved. Cooperating with officers may not erase the consequences, but resisting can create even more legal trouble. How are you guys looking? >> Yeah. And I have this. I don't know what store it is. >> So, you walked out of that? >> On the 3rd of July, 2026, police were dispatched to a store near a pier in New Jersey after reports of two teenage girls allegedly shoplifting. Here's what happened when officers arrived at the store. >> Yeah. Um, they're not back yet, though. They're just still looking around for the [music] shop. >> Oh, they're out there. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Did somebody already come in and talk to you guys about >> Yeah. Can I get some information real quick? Just like you guys know they stole all that stuff. >> You guys happen to have the security footage back here or is that all going to be up there? >> She can pull it up. >> So, she grabs it right there >> and she puts out the phone >> and they walk out. >> Who? >> Me. Here. The officer then approached the two girls involved. Both admitted to shoplifting, but seemed confused about which store had reported them. >> Can they search the backpacks? >> Um, >> yeah. >> I I wouldn't right now. police. >> Honey, do you [music] want to go? If they want to let you go through it, you go ahead. But we're not going to make you um >> So, what exactly happened? You walked out with it? >> Yeah. >> Is that what happened? Well, who w you walked out with it? >> We both Yeah, we both >> You both took one and walked out with it? >> Yeah. >> Is that all you guys took? >> Yeah. And I have this for I don't know what store it is. So, you walked out of that with that from another store? >> Yeah, this one. >> Okay. How old are you, guys? >> I'm 19. I'm 18. >> Let's go over here and then we can finish chatting. But, uh, I just need the price for that. I'll come back and I'll You guys think I'm right over there? >> Yeah, I'll get back. >> Let's just Let's just go talk over here. >> Did he Did he call me? >> Oh, my officer is going over there. The officers then made their decision along with explaining what the two girls would have to face for their actions. >> So, you guys are going to be placed under arrest for shoplifting. Okay. >> So, basically, we're just going to take you down to the station and get fingerprinted and you'll be released within like an hour, hour and a half with the summons. You just have to uh go to court for that. We'll explain it more as we go down, but you guys did confess to shoplifting. You guys walked out of the store. Whether it's something small or bigger, it's not really hard call to make. Actually, take these off. Let me put you in. >> You want to give me that? >> You turn around. Put your hands away. Yeah, I'll take >> this for too tight, right? >> Yeah, I'll take my feet. From their attitude, neither girl seemed remorseful even after being arrested. And it appeared this wasn't the only store they had stolen from. As one of them was carrying a ring, she couldn't remember where she had taken it from. >> So, you don't know from which store you got at the ring, right? >> Okay. >> You guys um were they in our store or >> No, that's not stains. >> It was It was somewhere else because our guy just said that they walked into our store and then you guys intercepted. I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay. >> Yeah, we're all good. >> Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. >> And then delusia. >> Yeah, >> she took Where the [ __ ] did he get? >> Spread your legs a little bit. Spread your legs. >> A little bit more. >> Everything sharp on you. >> So, she said it's prior to her being arrested, but she took us from another store. She doesn't know what's from. >> Okay. All right. We'll just hold on to it as evidence then. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Hopefully there's something else in here. >> Yeah. Search search search that I don't want to touch all that. >> I see. That looks like that might be that one uh place for a customer. You know how they have like this? >> But it didn't stop there. Police searched their bags and discovered even more items whose origins were unclear. >> All good. >> Okay. You guys search the bag yet? >> Not you search it. >> You might as well. We can just leave that material. >> No, he's all good. Okay. Guess there's a maget. Not searching. >> You might as well. We can just leave them to >> one of them two. go back for processing. Either him or Logan or Smig's up there. You want to have Smigg go with him? You two pick whoever wants to go do processing. You or Raphael. >> One of them too. Go back for processing. >> I'm going to have you go with either Raph or Laura for processing. Okay. >> All right. >> Um I got all the information video footage from inside the store. So >> perfect. Oh, both our transports are here. How do I get a bike down? >> In the end, the two girls were charged with shoplifting. [snorts] Their actions show that admitting to one theft does not necessarily end the investigation, especially when other items may raise more questions. Once police begin checking the evidence, seemingly minor theft can quickly lead to additional consequences. >> [music] >> bag was less full when she came in and full when she came in. Full when she left. Then she'd be going out and then she looked at me and I said, "Like cancer." >> Last time. >> On the 7th of March, 2026, police approached the woman as she left Kohl's after the store reported suspected theft involving her and others. During the conversation, she immediately explained that she was dealing with a problem with her gift card. But was this simply an excuse to deny the suspected theft? >> Ma'am, do you mind if I talk with you for a second? Yes, sir. >> How you doing? I'm Sergeant Reigns. I'm with the police department. Hello. >> The store inside was calling about some suspicious activity. Mentioned a lady with a large shoulder bag like yours was on the phone. Was about to walk out of the store and they thought you may have taken something. >> No, I just got on the phone because they just tried to do my card and they said that there's nothing on it, but there is something on the card. I just got on the fifth. So, he said I needed to call them. He just told me to call the people. >> Okay. So, it's a gift card. >> Yes, he just told me to call them. So, that's why I'm on the phone. Gotcha. >> I'm on the phone talking to talk to him now. >> Okay. All right. Do you mind if we maybe walk back inside and talk with them together and try to figure out what's going on? >> There's nothing going on and I'm not going back inside because I didn't do anything. I was just at the counter. I was just at the counter and he just told me to call these people and I'm just walking out the door. So, how am I having suspicious activity when I just tried to purchase something? >> Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. The store called us, right? I wasn't here so I don't know for sure, but they called and said it appeared that you and some other people who were in a car that's over there by the Wendy's were working together to try to distract them and steal some stuff. >> I'm not I'm parked over by the glove. I parked down there. So, I don't That's fine. That's why I was just asking if you wouldn't mind walking with us just to talk with everyone together. >> Plenty or anything, but I did not do anything and I don't feel like I'm being targeted for something that I didn't do. I'm in there trying to purchase a shirt and some shoes. >> Meanwhile, an officer inside the store was getting a very different story from the employees. >> What did she take? >> Uh, she had she was with a male who walked out with a bunch of stuff, too. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> The bag itself she took? >> No, no, no. She walked in with that. >> Okay. >> She walked in with that. >> So, did she take anything? >> I don't know. I I told the operator there. I could not I can't verify she took anything. Okay. >> They were together though, so she's with a guy and the guy walked out with a full card. >> Do you know exactly what he took? >> I approximately like shoes. He got a bunch of different stuff, but shoes. I get it. I pulled >> and they said, "I can't use my card." >> Okay. >> So, that's the only thing I'm trying to do. So, I don't feel like I did anything wrong. There's no reason to even have to go through all this. >> Okay. Is the receipt for the gift card or something else? >> The receipt is for the gift card because that's what I was trying to purchase the shoes with. >> Did he give you like a reason why it wasn't working? >> No, because he said he said once they do the thing, he said um once he's on, I have to call the 800 number. Is that because it'll show it was showing that look at that? >> That's fine. I just got on the fifth. >> Yes. Can you hold on? >> Trying to return something. >> No, sir. >> To the card or >> No, sir. That was That's what I got when I return was done and I was trying to purchase something and he said that they was coming up zero balance. He said I have to call them. He said he'll hold the shoes for me and I can come back. And I said, "Okay." So, I was going to go call and >> I'm confused. You have. So, obviously you're trying to buy someone the gift card. What's the receipt for for the other? >> That's when I got the gift card. >> Oh, okay. >> That's where the gift card purchase. That's where where they gave me the store credit. >> It seemed the whole situation might simply be a misunderstanding over the woman's gift card. But another store employee soon revealed a much more serious detail. >> Skinny African-American. I believe was a white shirt. Very thin white beard. >> A white beard. >> Yeah, like a thin white beard. >> Okay. And was there just two people or they just came in together? I don't There was I believe there was a third waiting in the car out there. So there probably is two in the car cuz when I went >> when I went to get a cart earlier, I saw a guy waiting by the car which is on that side. So that's I'm guessing that was another person. >> The lady who's outside right now with the big shoulder bag is Do we know for sure that she didn't? >> I I cannot confirm it, but she is one of our habitual ones that we have. I I so I don't know for sure. >> You know her name? >> I don't. >> Okay. >> I think the other she was in the other day if I remember correctly. >> She was saying something about trying to use a gift card tonight. >> She tried. >> Okay. What was she trying to buy? >> Um up here pair of shoes. >> Okay. But she didn't but we don't know that she walked out with anything or did anything. Right. No, but I the bag was less full when she came in and full when she came in. Full when she left. Then she beeped going out and then she looked at me and I said, "I can't answer the Yeah, the ES thing beeped on her foot." >> It looked as though it was another male out there and he looked like he had dreads. I don't know for sure. >> Okay. >> Like longer dreads. When they were next, they left while I was on the phone. >> Okay. >> To take it or >> we can sort that out in a second. Let's we'll deal with her real quick cuz yeah, it would have been nice if we mentioned that earlier like she beeped on the anti- theft thing and she walked out cuz that changed things a little bit. >> Police then confronted her with the allegations they had received. Now watch how she reacted when faced with those accusations. >> So the issues kind of clarified a little bit again. He believes that you were working in concert with these people that are over there in that car whether you were or not. Uh, also though, he mentioned as you walked out that the anti- theft device that's there in those little columns that detect stuff with tags on it from the store went off as you walked out and your bag appears fuller now than it was when you first came in the store. >> My bag was full when I came in. >> Okay, be that as it may, based on everything he's telling us here. It appears that you stole something today cuz there's no other reason that alarm would go off. >> No, I did not. When I walked in the thing, so I need your bag so we can search my bag because that my bag this is my personal stuff. I came with >> Miss Denita, based on everything we have here, I got probable callers to search your bag. If you don't have to search my bag, going to be arrested for resisting and then we'll search the bag after. Is that what you want to do? >> When I walked in, hold on. When I walked, >> her voice grew faster and more anxious while she continued making a phone call that raised suspicions she might be contacting an accomplice. That was enough for police to make the decision to arrest her. >> Don't arrest me. Okay, here. Sir, please don't arrest me. Please, please, I'm going to give it to you. I told you I was trying to No, I was telling you to act around it. Don't arrest me. >> Don't arrest me. Please. >> It's too late. Cat, man. >> Please, sir. Please, sir. Please don't arrest me. Please don't arrest me. >> Go that reverse. Yep. >> Please don't arrest me. Please don't wrest me. >> Please don't arrest me, sir. >> I get this hand. >> Please don't. I want you to ask him what I came in with. I came in with stuff, sir. I came in with stuff. >> I came in with stuff, sir. >> Can you please not arrest me? >> I was going to give you I was going to Listen, I was going to give you the bag, but I was telling you to ask them. No, I was going to I was asking you to ask them if they came in. No, sir. >> Listen, please stop. Please, please stop. >> Okay, I'll do anything. We're going to walk to you. Walk to our car. I'll do anything. >> You're under arrest. Walk to the car before it gets worse. >> I'll do I'll do anything to get out. >> Come on. We're walking. >> I'll give you I'll do whatever. I'll do whatever. >> We can talk about all that in a second. Okay. >> There's a lot of stuff. >> I don't want to be arrested tonight. Please. >> Well, then you should have listened. >> I was listening. I wanted you to know that I I had something already when I came in. He was standing right there when I came in when I came in. There's no reason that your >> when I came in. >> No, he said when he walked out of beat. And again, that only >> Sasso, can you unlock this? >> When I when I walked in and when I walked out. >> Okay. Have a seat in the car for me. >> Sorry. >> Sir, please. >> We'll get all that in a second. All right. >> After her arrest, officers searched her bag and what they found provided evidence that was difficult to deny, forcing them to confront her with it. >> Well, everything in there, the way it's packaged is still on hangers and in the bags and all that. I I kick myself out. Every time I go shopping, I just take my cuz I don't hang him. I don't like the best. >> Okay. Well, why would you bring all that with you tonight? >> Because I was going to try to take and do a return also. >> Why didn't you do that while you were in there? >> Because I always do it when I get all my stuff. I do it at one time because they have to return a third price. >> Well, that's what I'm saying. When you were up there trying to buy stuff and you had the issue with the gift card not working, why wouldn't you just go and do the return at least and then worry about the gift card later? >> Because he told me to make sure I didn't get the call first and I was going to go ahead and call. >> Well, but you can handle the return. And if you have all that stuff and you save everything else, why wouldn't you also save the bags that you got when you bought the stuff at Kohl's? >> I mean, listen, I don't get bags, but when I go into the store, I go to I don't usually get bags. I don't. >> Okay. So, all that stuff in there that's brand new and and pristine. No dirt, no nothing, no lint from the bag. It's it's all stuff. >> On the fifth. >> So, you just bought that all on the fifth. >> Was on the fifth. >> Did you buy it here? >> Yes. >> Okay. What'd you pay with? >> I paid cash. >> Gotcha. What time are you here? I don't. >> Before you answer, let me ask you this. Cuz obviously they have video footage of every customer that's here all day long. So on the 5th, >> when we check, is it really going to show you buying that stuff? >> Show me. Yeah. >> Is it going to show you at the register paying for all that stuff that's in your bag? >> Show me. >> Okay. Somehow I doubt that. >> And then you don't want to believe anything I'm saying. >> Why would you buy it all and then 2 days later come back to return it? >> It's the wrong size. >> Oh, okay. Who'd you buy it for? >> My cousin. >> Gotcha. And is it easy? your cousin just buy it for you or buy it for herself? >> Excuse me. >> Is there a reason your cousin didn't just come and buy it for herself? >> No, it was going to be a gift. It's a gift, sir. >> Okay. >> So, put your feet in there. >> Whose car were you guys in tonight? Is it Jaylen's or Andre's? >> I I don't know who was >> What kind of car is it? >> In the end, the 45-year-old woman was charged with resisting arrest without violence and felony petty theft. She was later adjudicated guilty on both charges, serving 25 days in county jail, followed by 2 years of probation. Denying the evidence does not make it disappear. When the facts and evidence contradict the story, continuing to lie can only make the situation worse. >> Did you by chance put some towels in your bag? No. No. Can I open it? Have you bought it yet? No. >> All right. So, just be careful cuz that is technically concealing. On the 7th of January 2025, police approached a man while he was shopping at Kroger, mainly because he appeared to be carrying a bag containing several concealed items. Here's what happened next. >> Hey partner. Hey, did you by chance put some towels in your bag? >> No. Can I open it? Make sure cuz apparently the LPOS's are asking about you. your speaker. Have you bought it yet? No. All right. So, just be careful because that is technically concealing. Did you get it from here? >> You want to walk up front with us? You can push your cart. >> I don't think they're going to have an issue with you, but we'll just go ask the bus prevention. [clears throat] We'll figure it out. All right. But just know you're being entertained, okay? You're not free to leave. Just go down this aisle. Aisle 36 and wait at the corner. You want to wait with him? >> Did you call him? >> Did you call? >> Where's your Where's the OP? >> Where was it? Oh, >> yeah. I got you. >> The concealed items seemed like undeniable evidence. Yet, the man showed little panic, almost as if he knew what was coming. Even after being permanently banned from the store, he remained calm. Could this really have been his first time? >> All right, boss. Like I said, they just want you uh trespass from the store. Or do you want it permanent or do you want it one year permanent? So just a permanent uh trespass for the She said you were concealing other items. I don't I don't know about that. Just stick right here. I'm going just get some paperwork. It's a civil agreement. You don't have to, but um I still got to read you like the the warning and everything. Can you radio LP? >> Just to see what she wants to do with his part. How you doing, officer? >> Good. How's it going? Trying >> to get this perfect gift, you know. >> Oh, yep. Yes, sir. >> All right. You You just disappear. Um, do you want him to just leave his cart right there or do you want him to still be able to purchase the items that he does have? >> No. Uh, take his bag. >> Okay. So, just his bag. >> All right. Just uh pick up whatever is yours. The the bag is Is that your towel as well? Looking closer, beyond the towel reported by the store and the speaker the officer discovered, they kept finding more items that had been concealed. >> Yeah, >> he had he had that that gray towel that you pointed out. He had earbuds stacked in it and it was over the top. >> So, I need to rain that up, too. >> Is that something you want to do? >> How many earbuds? >> Four of them. He had >> saw him wrapped his stuff in the top. >> Yeah, he had like this. It was like that. And I just pulled that. >> Oh, wow. Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. So, if you if you want to if you're going to ring that up and if you want to change your mind, just let us know while we're filling out the B. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> One was 171 and 77. >> All right. So, y'all are willing to prosecute? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, just give me a signature or print wrong. Print sign date. >> Okay. >> So, this their first time seeing him. Okay. He come here all the time. I used to pay for his stuff. >> All right, Mr. Marshall. Go ahead. Turn around for me. Hands be right back. Just be cool. All right. And then we'll we'll help you out. Okay. You got to go to jail for misdemeanor shop. Okay. >> What do you have in your pocket? >> My babes. >> The man remained completely calm as if he already knew what was happening. Police then escorted him outside and conducted a search. You have a holster for it. >> Why is it out of the holster? Just like that. Oh, a punch knife. I have one of these. >> I saw that you've been to county before. What was that all about? Was that your first arrest? The pointing the gun at the other >> at another arrest. >> That was really self-defense. >> Okay. However they worded it, I guess. >> So, at first they didn't want to prosecute and then I found those uh earbuds and then they were like, "Yeah, we're going to prosecute. You don't have anything else that's there, do you? Total came out to $200 or so. Just can't conceal those items inside the store. I don't know what your intentions were. I'm not accusing that you were going to steal it, but that's what it looks like if you get my flow. >> Okay. >> It's a big bait. >> You don't see those no more. You only see the little jewel thing. >> Lift over your hand slightly. >> You got under here, brother. >> You said two grand babies. >> Oh, you get you once I however fast I can write is how fast you >> But after police confirmed the suspect's actions, they changed their decision and proceeded with the arrest. Damn, this is a shitty spot that I parked. >> Yeah. >> All right, you can go ahead. Hop out. >> And then take the 911 again for this one. >> Unfortunately, I'm a popular guy and I don't think taking you to jail for misdemeanor shoplifting. There you go. It's real well worth it. But I'd advise you not to shoplift because these LPS are good at what they do. Unfort Well, unfortunate for you. Unfort fortunately for me. Yeah. Uh so she has the band form that and your your phone and your stuff is over in that bag. Your bag. Um that's Well, just take a picture of that uh band form and then that orange copy is yours. >> The man was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting and permanently banned from the Kroger. On the 25th of March, 2026, officers received a report from a victim whose wallet had gone missing at a bar. After reviewing the CCTV footage, police identified two bar employees as suspects. The following day, one of them was summoned to the police station where clear evidence was found inside the bag she was carrying. >> What's going on? >> Lot of story. Huh? >> There's something in my bag. >> There's something in your bag. Okay. What do you got? How'd that get there? Okay. You bring this bag to work with you every day? >> Well, I don't have that when I don't have a car. >> And you had it yesterday? >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, where's license and everything else? >> I have no idea. >> Okay. I have no idea how much was. >> I'm not I'm not like that. I don't >> How come you didn't tell me that when I was at the bar? >> Cuz I was scared I was going to get stabbed by a biker. >> Well, that's probably Wait until he left. Austin was stealing that, you know, the patch member of the outlaws. It's probably not a good idea. >> I know. I know. I'm terrified. I'm terrified. I'm terrified. And I'm also I've been a punk 2 years. I've never done anything like this in my life. And I'm scared of [ __ ] And I don't have any idea. I Okay. >> I came here. I'm terrified. >> Okay. But you don't know what happened to her license or credit cards or anything? >> No, I didn't even know >> what was in it. >> Gotcha. >> Meanwhile, the other officer was confirming the amount of cash inside the wallet, which would help determine the charges in the case. 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 I've been sick on my island in my pants and not throwing art. I probably lost my job and my friends and my whole life is going to change for the past 20 years cuz I made a split second decision and it was wrong. I didn't even touch it. the cash. When did you find it? >> Today. >> When today >> I woke up this morning and started putting stuff away in my bag. >> I saw that and I was like, I'm not putting anything away. I threw up and made my kids food and just not felt right all day. >> Okay. I don't know if it's I don't know if that's somebody used to drive money or you know I >> allegedly it was money that they were trying to buy their kid a car. >> That's what she said. >> So 2022. >> Okay. >> Is that all that you know that was in the bag? >> All right. So naturally, right, because of the investigation, you are going to be placed under arrest. I'm not going to do the whole cuffs thing. We're just going to walk you back because I do have to talk to you some more and I'm be more than interested to see what you have to say. Right. But yeah, just take the first off and everything. >> Later that same day, another team of officers was dispatched to the second suspect's home. She immediately denied everything. >> I was smoking. Yep. >> No, you're good. I'm good. >> I remember you from yesterday. >> You what? >> I remember you from yesterday. Yeah. So, you know why I'm here then? Huh? >> Yeah, but I don't have anything. I didn't take anything. >> You didn't take anything? >> I don't have anything. >> Okay. >> No, >> I have nothing. >> Okay. So, then what happened? >> I can't tell you what happened, but I don't have anything. >> Okay. >> I mean, you can check everything. I don't have anything. I don't know. I wasn't there when they were there, but I don't have anything. >> I have nothing. >> It's not in your car or anything like that. >> No, you can look everywhere. I have nothing. I have literally nothing. I have nothing anywhere. Okay. >> Okay. >> So then there's no camera footage that would show me otherwise. >> I have no I didn't take anything. >> Okay. >> I don't have anything. >> Contrary to her denials, the CCTV told a different story from the moment Jennifer took the purse to Tiffany joining in with both women laughing about their score. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Heat. Heat. Although Jennifer was the one who found the wallet, Tiffany was the one who took more actions to carry out the plan to take everything from it. CCTV even captured her calling Jennifer into the bathroom to avoid the cameras. Jennifer was the one who stepped out first while Tiffany stayed behind with the task of handling the evidence. That was why Tiffany was still lying and denying everything because she believed she was not carrying any evidence. >> Oh, he told me about the cameras. Yeah, now I know. >> Well, I sure hope you know you were. >> Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. I know. We have tons of cameras everywhere. I wasn't even there when people were there. I don't have anything. Please check everywhere. Oh, look at my purse. I mean, my purse, too. I got that, too. Take my purse. >> Uh, we'll hold off for right now. >> Do you know what happened with the purse? >> I have nothing. Nope. I have no idea what happened with the purse. Okay. >> I know it was pulled out of a garbage can. What time was that at? >> I have no idea. When they whenever they came back. >> Was that before or after we talked with you guys? >> Um, that was >> I didn't look >> I think she pulled it out her or the other girl pulled it out right before you guys got there. >> The other girl other bartender. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Um, the other girl pulled out. I'm not sure. It said she saw somebody pulling out of a garbage can. >> Okay. She then tried to shift all the blame onto her coworker, but what the CCTV showed was enough to tell the story. With the evidence in front of them, officers proceeded to arrest her. >> I don't know what happened after that. I don't have it. >> Gotcha. Do me a favor. Go ahead and turn around for me. >> You already been under. >> I don't have anything though. >> I don't have anything for you. >> I sure hope you still don't have it. >> I don't have anything. I don't have anything at all. >> You don't want to tell me where it's at, though? >> I I'm telling you right now, I don't have it. I don't have anything. I have nothing. I'm not secreting 15. Can you >> just give me a card for my kids see this, please? >> Well, it's just your husband is coming back out. >> I know, but I just don't want my kids to see. >> I They won't. >> I don't have I don't have anything. >> All right, let's walk this way. >> I have nothing. >> I have nothing. >> Any landmines I should be aware of over here? I saw the one walking up. >> We're just going to go to the opposite side to the car. Jennifer and Tiffany were both charged with two counts of theft over $500, but less than $10,000. Denying [snorts] the evidence and shifting blame did not change what the cameras showed. In the end, both suspects were held accountable for their actions. >> No. Give me my son. >> For what? Get out and get into the car. >> I need my son. Where's my son? On the 27th of April 2024, police responded [music] to a reported shoplifting incident at a retail store. The suspect was a woman pushing a stroller. She was accused of filling an entire shopping cart with merchandise and making no attempt to pay for it. When officers arrived at the scene, she tried to flee and the situation quickly descended into chaos. Oh my god. >> Oh my god. I came in with you. >> No. Give me my gun. >> I [ __ ] came in with this truck, >> man. I saw you coming with >> You came in with my bag. >> You're going to let me go. >> No. Give me my baby. I want my son. Give me my son. Give me my son. >> Give me my son. >> Come on. We're going to go outside. >> No, we're not. No, we're not. >> Yes, we are. >> I'm not going to jail. >> The woman showed no concern for her own family despite her actions. Even as she was being escorted to the patrol car, she continued to display signs of emotional instability. Do >> you have any weapons on you that I need to know about? No, >> I'm not going to deal. >> Okay. Okay. We're going to take a seat in my car. What are you doing? What are you doing? You're still going to sit in my car. I don't This act I don't really care for. So, [clears throat] >> no. Swing your feet into the car. >> I need an ambulance. >> For what? Get up and get into the car. >> I need my son. Where's my son? >> All right. Come on. You didn't really care about him when you were stealing. You >> can't touch me like this. >> Trying to put you in the car, man. I need an ambulance. Okay. I need an ambulance. >> Stop. Stop. >> You can't touch me like that. >> Stop. >> You cannot touch me like that. >> Stop. >> I need an ambulance now. I need an ambulance now. >> Did you understand your rights? >> Fantastic. >> Any concern she appeared to show for her loved ones was nothing more than an act. By this point, officers were trying to obtain information about him, but she had no intention of cooperating. >> Fire is going to come check you out here shortly. What's your What's your kiddo's name? You don't want to talk to us? Okay. Is there any like child medical card in there? I'm going to try to fill out that child removal form. Um, so the lady that's arrested now, she's shoplifting. She's holding on to the stroller while they're like trying to stop her. The kiddo is just getting around maybe hit the ground a couple times. >> Yeah, maybe. It sounds like he might have gotten caught one of the times, but he's just getting jostled and thrashed. >> Yeah. >> Is that accurate, Liam? That like during this whole thing, kiddo just get tossed back and forth, back and forth. It might have hit the ground. Maybe if the guy didn't catch him. >> She was definitely being neglected. He was getting trashed around his head over there. Tipped over twice. Um >> he did get tipped over a couple times. >> He has not shed a single tear the entire time, though. He has not um said a complaint. He's handled it very well. He seems to be a very happy guy. He's very smart. He knows where shoes go. He knows what keys are. He's >> Yeah, he's great. >> Huh? >> If you don't have anyone that can come get your child, we're going to have to contact CPS. >> Okay. >> Huh? >> What did you swallow? Huh? >> The hills are >> what? >> Fetties. Can you swallow fetties and you're pregnant? That's a smart thing to do. >> Given her condition, it was fortunate that her loved one remained safe. What was even more concerning, however, was that this was not her first encounter with Child Protective Services, CPS. >> This report briefly, it looks like uh last year the she was brought to Valley due to medical stuff with a shoplift incident. She had a son with her and medical staff thought that due to her mental state, she wasn't fit to uh take care of the kids. So, this is a prior CPS intake number that you might be able to give them. So, that way they already have the names there instead of giving them all the names. It looks like they spelled the name differently in that report. Uh and that's the report number here. Um >> the child's name is different. >> Yeah. Is different than whatever paperwork he found. >> Okay. Um, so, uh, yeah, >> at this point, officers moved the woman to another patrol car so they could transport her to the police station. But once again, nothing went smoothly. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. You're You're hurting me. I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant. >> I'm pregnant. You're hurting me. >> Ow. >> Why are you being like that? >> There's no reason for you to fall. >> I can't. I'm >> sit in the seat. Can you act like an adult, please? >> Hey, ma'am. >> I understand you don't feel well and that you're pregnant, so I don't want to rip you and pull you into this car, but I will. >> You need it. We are But you need to stand up and sit your butt down before I have to physically remove you. >> I'm trying. >> Okay. >> Put your feet on the roof and push yourself up. >> I'm trying. >> Okay. Would you like assistance? Cuz I will assist you. >> My body is [clears throat] >> There you go. Okay. Rotate your butt upwards. >> Sit up on your bottom. There you go. Stay right there. You need to stay leaning up. I'm going to the hospital right this second. >> There you go. >> Holy crap. >> You're going to the hospital, but your kiddo is going to be going with CPS. All right. >> All right. Ready, bud? >> The woman was charged with theft in the third degree, obstruction, possession of a controlled substance, [music] and tampering with evidence. Her case was also referred for possible child endangerment, and officers discovered multiple outstanding warrants. Using loved ones as a shield does not erase criminal responsibility. [music] In the end, every reckless decision only created more charges, greater consequences, and put an innocent family member at risk. [music] >> I just got on there. I paid for this, BUT THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT. >> I didn't, MA'AM. I SWEAR TO GOD, I DID. MA'AM, >> what I did wrong, sir. All I did return the thing. She said they say return it. That's it. On the 29th of May 2024, police received a report of a large-scale theft at a Target where a woman had stolen merchandise and handed it to a man so he could fraudulently return the items for a refund. To stop the man from doing so, officers quickly approached him in the parking lot. >> Stay right there. >> Stay right there. >> Just hang tight. >> Just hang tight. >> Keep your hands where I can see them. >> What I do? >> Echo for 1025. >> Did I do anything? >> Yep. Just keep your hands right there. WHAT ARE >> SIT DOWN? >> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. >> SIT DOWN. DON'T GO ANYWHERE. >> I JUST I JUST RETURNED TO THIS WITH THIS. >> Just chill, dude.

The lady can not to pay for this. >> You're getting all upset. >> No, because I ain't trying to go to jail. >> I don't want you to go to jail either. >> I didn't do nothing wrong. I just >> I just got on there. I PAID FOR THIS. BUT THAT BEEN I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT. >> I didn't do that, MA'AM. I SWEAR TO GOD. I DID, MA'AM. >> MA'AM, I didn't do that. I promise, man.

Okay, sir. >> Put your hands behind your back to cut your >> The man tried to claim that he was just helping his best friend buy something, but his explanation quickly raised more questions when he also brought up the return. Did you How are you where were you going with that? >> What? >> Huh? >> Where were you going with that? >> To my to pay for my homie. >> Is there for your homie? >> Yeah, that was it. He was at he um in the car. >> Okay. So, he's in the car. >> Yeah. But I didn't do nothing wrong. I just paid for this cuz he had the cash. He gave me the car and that was it. >> Okay.

That's all. I don't steal, man. I get whatever [ __ ] they return. I already returned it. That was it. >> That's all. >> Are you on paper for anything? >> Yes. >> What are you on paper for? >> Um, I'm on probation. That's why I said I ain't trying to get in no trouble. >> All right. That's what I'm asking you. What are you on paper for? >> Um, it was um long 2019 ahead of the delivery charge. Um, >> Meanwhile, the store's loss prevention officer arrived at the scene and explained what had happened, including the woman involved in the scheme. So, she came in first. Um, she already, we already have bulls on her from other stores. She came in. I followed her around the store. She took a um infant sweller, $39.99, and one more other thing and sealed it in our pets department. Then she came, got in the car with him, she gave it to him. He came and she returned it. He concealed the stuff that are in that bag right there. They seal those. So, they're just traveling around the store. So that was the reason why I called. We want both of them trespass and ID. Daddy is their driver in that vehicle. >> Yeah. Yeah. Trespass. Okay. So she comes out with a car. Huh? She comes out with a baby swat alert and a little in the car cuz he didn't return. >> Okay. Yeah. So she took it and he didn't return it and he sitting on that merch. He paid for this. He didn't return part. >> Yeah, she stole it and he stole that. He was sitting on that when he wrote out. >> That's all. >> Are you on paper? >> Yes. >> What are you on paper for? >> Um I'm on probation. That's why I said I ain't trying to get in no trouble. >> All right. That's what I'm asking. What you on paper? Um it was um long 2019 I had the delivery charge and um >> returning to the suspect's vehicle. There was another man in the driver's seat besides the female suspect. [music] It seemed that none of them felt any remorse for what had happened. >> Why is your pants pulled up? >> Why aren't your pants pulled up? >> I'm trying to show you. >> Oh, why are your pants all the way down? >> You don't even have your pants covering your butt. >> How you going to sit in your car like that though? >> Huh? >> Don't move. Just keep your hands up. You need rescue. >> Oh man, >> that doesn't look comfortable. >> I've been dealing with youitis. >> I don't know what that means. >> What? They got something. She She didn't steal nothing. >> It's not what she said. >> She steal >> I didn't steal anything. I I left I left my cart. The stuff that was in my cart. >> You thought about it. You just didn't walk. I live and stuff because my phone was dead and I didn't have my tap and pay. >> They live in whatever she live about where the white is where you live at >> Western. >> How do you know the other guy? >> Boss man, you got registration for this car? >> Yes. >> Where's it at? >> In the blood department. >> You want to go? You ain't got no weapons in this car? >> Yeah. No. >> Go ahead. Go ahead. Read for it. Take care of me while they're right here. >> I'm going to take her. >> Just try to ID him with a picture. >> Okay. Even if you got to take a picture right there for what? >> Shoplifting. >> I didn't I didn't steal anything. Otherwise, >> no, I didn't. I didn't steal anything. I left my card in there. I didn't take anything. >> I did not take anything. >> All right, let me figure it out then. >> Were you out here today at any point in time? Were you here today besides tonight? >> No, I I didn't take it. I have my own car cuz my my car is dead. >> The woman seemed to be the most panicked when confronted by police. And under pressure, she began admitting to certain things. >> Sir, I didn't do nothing wrong, man. What I did wrong, sir? I didn't return the thing. She said they said return it. That's it. What did I DO WRONG, SIR? >> Tell your defense attorney that, man. >> Huh? >> Tell your defense attorney. >> What did I do wrong? >> Oh, man. I didn't do nothing wrong. I will return. Can I ask the bouter? >> No. No. I know, man. >> It appeared that the woman had been instructed by the first man arrested to steal merchandise and pass it to him so he could take it out of the store. Meanwhile, the driver was cleared of suspicion and asked to get out of the vehicle. >> Yeah, I got it. I got it. >> You again. You sure you don't need medical? >> No, ma'am. No, >> ma'am. We already >> right there. >> Care for you, man. You know what I'm saying? >> I don't have people around to crack on me like that. >> I ain't nobody cracking, dude. I'm I'm I'm concerned about your wellbeing, dog. >> I'll be around the same people. >> Yeah. I'm not even I'm not even cracking on you. It's more concerned for your own one and health, dude. You know what I'm saying? Get get if you if you're able to get some help, get some, dude. And if anything, I'll probably give you some some resources or something, dude. You know, cuz listen, man, we all make mistakes. >> Listen, we all make mistakes, dude. We all hang around the wrong people, dude. But that don't mean that you're not a good person. You know what I'm saying? >> I'll get you. >> It's like I don't put it in the sun. >> I'll get you. You want to come over here? >> Who you stay with? >> My mom. >> Where? What's that at? >> For a lot of >> this her car. Yours? >> This this hers? But it's mine. >> Like she let you drive it. It's under her name. >> Yeah. She died something. She >> I got you. You stay with her? >> Yes. >> How long you been staying there with her? >> My mom my whole life. >> How you know these people? I keep my own mobile. >> Okay. >> That's my dog right there. >> The girl or the guy? >> The guy. >> The guy. >> All right. I'm going to be real with you. I guess they got y'all all over the county. My man. >> I don't know about you, but y'all they get they got them. >> You know what type of friends you got though, right? >> Yeah. But she she she don't go there and steal. She got money all the way. >> My mama just >> How long you know her for? The man and woman faced potential shoplifting and organized retail theft charges along with allegations of fraudulent merchandise returns. The driver was cleared of suspicion and was not implicated in the scheme. Dishonesty and getting involved in a theft scheme can turn a seemingly simple store visit into a criminal investigation. Following someone else's instructions does not excuse illegal actions, and cooperating with the wrong people can lead to serious consequences. >> IT'S 2025. I CAN'T EVEN GET $5,000. >> BREAK MY LEGS. >> I don't want to break your legs. Just Just >> Why are you Why are you taking me out of my >> On the 14th of June 2025, officers were dispatched to a bank after receiving a report about a woman who had been denied a $5,000 withdrawal due to the bank's security measures. She was the one who asked them to call the police, hoping they would take her side. But things quickly escalated. >> Give me my damn money. >> Hey. Hey, calm down. Let's go down. We're trying to get money out. >> All I want is $5,000. IT'S 2025. I CAN'T EVEN GET $5,000 ACCOUNT. >> SHUT UP AND GO NOW. >> CALM DOWN WITH ME. >> I don't give a damn about you. >> Okay. ALL RIGHT. LISTEN. >> I DON'T WANT MY MONEY. >> OKAY. WHO ARE YOU, SIR? >> Her wife. Her husband. >> Watch out of the way. Watch out of the way. Watch. MOVE OUT OF MY WAY. >> WE'RE GOING TO STEP OVER HERE. >> We're going to step over here. We're going to go in cuffs right now until you calm down. Okay. >> Please, >> sir. Move out of the way. >> Babe, babe, just calm down. >> We're going outside right now. Just >> call Adam. >> Adam. >> We're going in custody. >> She's just >> Oh, yes, sir. >> We're just trying to get our money. >> She's calming down. >> She's got all her >> Get a picture, PLEASE. >> SHE'S GOT ALL I LOVE. >> She's got all her. Come on. Let's step over here. >> JUST COME, PLEASE. ARE YOU SERIOUS? >> A Saturday MORNING FOR ALL I WANT IS $5,000 OUT OF MY ACCOUNT. CASH MONEY. >> LET'S GO. >> Why are you doing this? >> Let's go. >> She's detained right now. I'm going to sit her in the back of the car to calm down. And she's just screaming. >> Let's go. >> The woman was only being detained temporarily so officers could investigate more easily and there was still no formal arrest. But with her increasingly confrontational attitude, things still seem to be getting more difficult. >> Go ahead and sit. Go ahead and sit. I'm not doing this. Sit down. Sit. Do you want another charge? >> You can charge me whatever you want to. >> Sit in the car. >> At this point, you can charge me whatever you want. >> Do you want Listen, THE CHOICE. >> BLACK TRYING to bank. >> Sit down. >> Black trying to bank. That's what I am. >> That is nothing. Sit down. >> Black trying to bank. >> Sit. I'm going to give you >> black. I'm going to give you one more chance here. >> Chase, >> I'm going to give you one more chance. All right, sit. >> Another officer was also dispatched to the scene and approached the man accompanying the suspect. Based on what had happened, he also seemed to have a reaction that was difficult to accept. >> As you can, >> I have no idea. I'm trying to find out what's wrong with my wife. Hey, stop walking away from me. I'm trying to talk to you. >> Find out what's going on with my wife. >> Well, I'm trying to Hold on. Hey, >> stop moving. Stop moving. I'm trying to talk to you. What happened inside? >> I don't know. I walked in. I was I was sitting in the car. Okay. >> I'm waiting and waiting. I know she went in to get money. >> Okay. >> Okay. She left her phone with all her accounts and stuff information on it, but she gets questioned for all these IDs. >> Okay. >> Okay. We got the money in account. I'm sitting here wondering why we can't get it. She I >> She's talking to you now. Talk to me. >> Okay. But I walk in I walked in. See what's taking so long. >> Mhm. >> She's standing there. She's saying she can't get her money. She gave her the two IDs that she wanted. >> Okay. >> But she didn't have her pin number cuz her phone's in the car. >> Okay. >> And now I'm walking and like what's going on? She said they won't give me my money. >> Okay. Yeah. They called us saying that she was Hold on. Let me let me >> I got it. I I'm I'm sure she's hot. >> Okay. >> We've never had issue with nothing like this. >> They I think you know we're worried that >> I get it. I know in this day and age we have to deal with it. >> I've been black all my life and I have to deal with it. But I mean >> but we're trying to get money honestly out of our own account. >> They they said that they were that she was trying to get all the money out of the account. So they were just concerned about her identity being valid. So, whatever she was producing wasn't sufficient for them. So, I don't know what she does. >> Yeah. I don't know what she was producing, >> but I'm gonna go find out. >> The officer then spoke with the bank employee, making it clearer why her withdrawal had been denied and who was actually at fault. >> So, she wanted to take out 5,000. She had her debit card and her credit card. >> So, our system kind of has some like security measures in place when it's a large amount. And I asked for either the debit card with PIN, which she said she didn't have. >> Or her phone number to send a passcode >> and she didn't. She said she didn't have it. She wasn't going to go get it. >> Okay. >> So, the system places, >> did she have her ID with her? >> She had her ID. She had her credit card. >> Okay. >> So, she gave you ID and a credit card, but your system has secondary measures because it's a large amount. >> Yes. And with fraud being really bad. >> So, why did she want us called? What did she say? wants you to make me give you my super money. >> I [laughter] see. >> So, was that all the money in their account? That's what we were told. >> They had more than >> Okay. Okay. >> All right. All right. Thanks. >> In the car with his debit card, that would have the whole thing. >> Yeah. But she was being difficult about it. Okay. All right. >> It turned out that all the woman was missing was the security verification code from her own phone, which she kept in her hand even as she continued arguing with the officer. What's there to talk about? >> I just want to try and talk through what happened. >> There ain't nothing to talk about. I came in here, asked for $5,000. She asked me for ID, which I gave her to BEFORE I EVEN ASKED FOR THE DAMN MONEY. >> THEN SHE WANTED ANOTHER ID. I GAVE IT TO HER. >> SHE SLIPPED HER SLICK. >> All right, we're going to have to put these on. Stop slipping. >> Whatever the want at this point. I'm soing tired of this. >> Listen. >> What's your damn name? >> Amber. >> Amber D. Listen, why aren't you at the parade? Oh, you got to man everything, right? >> What parade? >> Your leader parade. >> I don't have a leader parade. >> Oh, you got plenty of leaders. >> Step on up. >> Turn around. >> $5,000. >> Turn around. >> $5,000. >> I'M BEHIND I'M I'M LOCKED UP THE MONEY. >> You're under arrest at this point. >> I don't give a damn. >> You're under arrest at this point. I really don't give a damn. >> Stop resisting. >> This is so stupid. >> I had I had them call your butt. >> We know. I was trying to talk to you about all this, but you won't listen. >> We're talking. >> Huh? >> What else you want to talk about? >> I don't want that. >> I have 5,000. >> She's already flexible enough. >> Janelle, I mean, Leon. >> At this point, the officer once again tried to explain why she was being arrested, but with her sense of entitlement, she continued arguing and seemed determined to prove that she was the one in the right. THIS IS SO STUPID. >> WHY ARE YOU BEHAVING? >> ARE YOU SERIOUS? >> WHY ARE YOU BEHAVING LIKE A CHILD? >> A SATURDAY MORNING, all I wanted to DO IS GET ABOUT MY DAY AND NOW I'M BEHIND WITH SOME HANDCUFFS FOR WANTING $5,000 OUT OF A BANK ACCOUNT. >> DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD ACCEPT? >> ARE YOU SERIOUS? >> YOU THINK YOU WOULD ACCEPT THIS BEHAVIOR? >> ARE YOU SERIOUS? I WORKED AT A BANK. >> Do you think you would accept? >> I WAS A HEAD TELLER. >> I GAVE HER ALL THE IDS SHE REQUESTED. NO, >> IT IS 2025. I AM [screaming] BLACK. CAN'T HAVE A PIECE OF MONEY. AIN'T ALLOWED TO WITHDRAW IT. >> Are you serious? >> If you'd let me TALK TO YOU. >> I'M not making sense. Are you That's not what I SAID. >> HONESTLY, I'M NOT MAKING SENSE. >> I didn't say that. >> I'm black. I come to the bank. What ID? I hand her my ID. Ask for $5,000 out of my account. >> Okay. >> She asked for additional piece of it of >> I gave it to her. She says she that you didn't give >> you. >> I GAVE HER MY CHASE CREDIT CARD. >> ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME TALK? >> I'm trying to tell you. >> You just told me. She said I didn't give it to you to her when I did. I gave her a second. >> I'm trying to finish my sentence. >> Go ahead. >> You're only getting a partial sentence. >> Go ahead. >> So, she says that you gave your ID and the Chase card, but that their system requires a PIN number, which you didn't have or >> asked for a pin number. >> Let me finish. She did not ask me for a pen. >> Let me finish. >> She never asked me for a pen number. She asked me for my debit card. >> Do you want to hear what's going on or do you want to go have it on me? Then she asked for a cell phone. >> I don't want to take you to jail. >> I Please don't. >> That's apparently what you want. >> Please do. It don't even make at this point. I'm behind here. I got handcuffs on ON SATURDAY MORNING. 61 years going on. >> But why ARE YOU >> AND I GOT HANDCUFFS. I AIN'T NEVER BEEN IN NO HANDCUFFS OVER TRYING TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL. Are you serious? >> Stella Gray was charged with obstructing official business and disorderly conduct. Refusing to follow reasonable instructions can quickly turn a simple disagreement into a criminal charge. Even when you believe you are in the right, escalating the situation and resisting officers can make the consequences far more serious. >> That's at the checkout. And that card that you use belongs to my victim. This isn't just one day, a whole bunch of stuff. This was just a few days worth of transactions at different stores. >> On the 16th of October 2025, police posted images of a 19-year-old suspect accused of stealing an elderly woman's credit card and using it to make fraudulent purchases worth hundreds of dollars, prompting her to turn herself in. Here's what happened at the beginning. >> I saw it on Facebook and Instagram. I didn't even find it myself. I had Mhm. [clears throat] >> People I know in high school and I my brothers and my brother's friends all sending me screenshots like, "Oh, is this you? This is you." Like seriously, you're doing this now? Like kind of making me [clears throat] feel very shitty about something that I didn't do. >> Okay. >> And my main thing was just like that the post came up and I like I didn't even do it. >> Okay. >> And I was just like very surprised by it because I wasn't ever but then I kind of saw it and I was like I was kind of wondering. And I was like, why didn't I ever get like contacted about something that I did and then it was like asking to identify me. >> So I was like, I'm just going to get this over with. I'm going to get this out of here. I'm going to go to the sheriff and I'm going to clear this up. >> Right. So, um, the photograph on the Facebook, that's you in there with like the white like camo hoodie or whatever. >> Yes. I had actually my best friend's hoodie on because I was going to get I think I was going to get groceries. I think I was at Walmart. >> The woman believes she was only asked to come to the sheriff's office because of something related to Walmart. unaware that detectives were actually investigating stolen credit cards, a detail they revealed shortly afterward. >> What we are investigating is a credit card that was stolen. Okay. >> Okay. And then that credit card was used at multiple places. >> Okay. >> Um I've done some digging and I got the video surveillance from one of the places where the credit card was used at. >> Okay. >> And that's how we kind of got to this point. >> Okay. >> It's kind of hard to dispute. >> No, I do understand that. >> You understand like when I have video [clears throat] and that. So, if you have something that tells me otherwise, like if you have, you know, a receipt from Walmart with a card that belongs to you or someone that you were authorized to use, then we can then that's great. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> But I don't have that right now. And so, right now, I just have to go off of what I know or what I have when I've gathered. Okay. >> Yeah, I completely understand. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> So, you worked for Palm Nails? >> I do now. So, >> you do. You still do? Okay. How long have you worked there for? >> I believe it's I believe around my birthday it was maybe a year, I think. >> Okay. like a year or so. Okay. >> And then just celebrate this last one. >> What do you do at the nail salon? Do you do nails or you like you work at the counter? >> I work at the front desk. I'm literally receptionist. I'm up there doing my homework half the time. >> Okay. So, you check out people um that are finished with whatever service they got done at the salon. Well, I guess I'll just ask you bluntly. Have you ever have you did you take a credit card that belonged to somebody that someone might have left there? >> No, ma'am. You've never >> The only time I have ever had somebody else's credit card in my possession is when they did forget it, but in our system, we are able to look up their name. >> Okay. >> And their phone number does come up. And I did call her and her and her daughter came back and got the card. Other than that, I don't remember her name. I think it was like Maria or something. >> Okay. Was that recently? >> Um, we're in September. I think it was maybe like a month ago. >> A month ago, >> I believe. I'm not 100% sure. I'm sorry. She denied taking someone else's card, but that story had to change when detectives began showing her the images they had obtained. >> I'm going to show you a few pictures that I have. Okay. And you can kind of just tell me. Do you drive a gray SUV? >> Uh, yes. >> Is it the one that's in the parking lot? The Volkswagen one? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. You saw the picture from the Facebook page, right? That's the Walmart walking out. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Well, here's the same. This is when the purchase was made. That's you and your jacket. >> Yes, ma'am. >> That's at the checkout. And that card that you use belongs to my victim. >> That card. >> Mhm. So with the technology that >> is that when that was printed out? >> Yeah. This is this is when it was uploaded. So this would have been August 7th. So a little over a month ago. >> Am I able to look back in my pictures? >> Sure. Yeah. Okay. I just didn't want to touch my phone. >> No. Yeah, it's fine. >> So and the amount of this transaction is the exact amount that was charged on my victim's um bank account. I can promise you I didn't know I had somebody's card if I did. >> Okay. Well, >> but if anything, like I will genuinely, and I'm not saying this or anything, I will like anything that I am accused of, I will like pay the money back if anything, but I don't remember using somebody else's card. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. And I know like it's hard to believe because of the pictures and everything. >> Do you still have that card then, you think, or >> No, I have my physical card. So, where did that card go that day? >> I am not sure. >> She claimed she had used the card without knowing it belonged to someone else, but that was clearly a lie as detectives later pointed out that she had used it more than once. >> Okay. >> So, it wasn't just this one time at Walmart. Okay. So, that card was used by you several times. Does that bring back anything? >> I don't remember using somebody else's card if I did. >> Okay. >> I genuinely don't. I genuinely thought it was my card if anything, but I don't ever remember taking somebody's card from that nail salon. >> When you use your card, you use a Is it a debit card? You put a pin in or is it a credit card? You sign it? >> Uh, I use my debit card, but I never put my pen in. >> You don't ever put a pen in? >> No, I just hit the green. >> So, for these transactions, how do you think that went down? Did you have to sign for it? >> No, [clears throat] it it just went through. There was no signature or anything? >> Yes, ma'am. >> How do you think you would have ended up with that card if it's not yours? How do you think you would have ended up with it in your possession? >> Genuinely, I don't know. >> So, again, I want to believe you wholeheartedly. I appreciate you coming here, right? Uh, taking the time to try and clear the air for me, but I have to go off of everything that I have, right? >> I do understand. >> Right. So, everything that I have gathered all points to you having a card, using it multiple times, wasn't once or twice, was more than five times. I can tell you that. >> Okay. Multiple stores. You were on camera there and the exact amount of the transaction that you purchased is what went through my victim's bank account. >> Then if anything, am I able to just pay it back? >> That I don't know. So we have a victim involved, right? And my victim >> Am I able to know who? >> Not. No. And my victim signed a form saying at this point that they would like to prosecute. Maybe they'll change their mind. I don't know. I I I can't make even promises. I have no idea. >> As the detectives laid out all the evidence, she began to break down. Yet she still had no intention of taking responsibility, continuing to call it a mistake. >> Was it a mistake? I mean, everybody makes mistakes. >> I know. I genuinely don't know. My main thing is I can't My mom can't vote or I I will get kicked out and then I I have nowhere to go. >> Listen, I understand you can tell about your mom. At the end of the day, you're 19, right? >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, you don't if you don't want to tell your mom something, you don't have to tell your mom something, right? >> But that's not the case when I'm on every social media. I have people call me a scumbag and everything. >> Listen, I can talk about that on the back end, okay? >> Like that's my thing. I'm just worried my mom is going to kick me out and then I don't have a like I've asked my friends cuz my mom started to kick me out before because me and her found in really bad arguments >> and she's just told me pack a bag and leave for the night. >> Is that maybe why you're scared to come forward? Just if you >> No, it's not that. I promise you it's not that. >> Okay. >> Cuz I would trust that you guys wouldn't just go and tell my mom because I am 19 too. It's just the fact that if my mom sees that on there >> on social media and everything, she she will just rip me apart and she will kick me out and I don't know what to do at the end of the day of that. >> We also what we're trying to figure out is how it happened and why it happened though. We know you did it. There's no question about it. >> Okay, I understand that >> we got you on video. We want to know how you ended up with the card and why you used the card. >> I genuinely thought I was using my card that day. Like I don't remember all the stores I went to. I'm gonna be fully honest. I don't remember the stores. But Wednesday is my payday. So I had money in my account and everything. I genuinely thought I was using my card that entire day. So this is over a span of multiple days. >> Over multiple days. >> This isn't just one day, a whole bunch of stuff. This was just a few days worth of transactions at different stores. Like Detective Cadara said, "We know that you used the car, right? We're just trying to figure out the backstory on why. You know, maybe you were short some money. You needed some extra things. I'm not sure on any money, but if anything, I will pay it back and I will do everything I can, but I cannot let my mom. >> The total confirmed fraudulent loss exceeded $500. That alone was already serious. But the case didn't end there. The missing credit card was still a major concern. >> Did you think long and hard about where you might have put that card? >> No, I don't. >> Because the victim might want it back. >> I don't know. I genuinely don't know. >> So, why would you not have it if you think it that it was yours? Why would you still not have it then if >> Cuz sometimes I'll keep like my card in the back of my phone. Sometimes I'll keep it in my back pocket and I have rips in my jeans and I've lost a few debit cards of my own and everything. No, genuinely >> I'm being so genuine right now. I promise you. >> You just happen to have holes that like the card [clears throat] now just disappears. >> No, I'm being I don't know where it went. Like I genuinely don't. Do you think you might be able to search your car or search your room and maybe find it? I my room is completely clean. I just redid my room. Or maybe look into a purse or a wallet. I don't have I have >> How do you normally carry your cars? Do you have a wallet? Do you have a purse? >> I have a wallet. >> Wallet in the purse. Do you have a purse or No, >> my wallet might just be somewhere in my trunk right now. I'm going to be honest. >> So, you don't even know where your wallet is? >> It's somewhere in my car. I know that. >> Who do you bank with? >> Um >> like do you have a banking account somewhere? checking account or >> American Express that me and him used to have a shared card with. >> So that's a credit card. American Express is a credit card. >> Is that a credit card? >> Do you think South States's a bank though? >> When's the last time you like generally like looked in your person? Well, I know with us females, we kind of throw everything in there every once in a while. We might go through it. >> I haven't looked in a while. >> You think it's possible that the card might be in there right now? >> I could definitely I can get my keys from my friend and I can have you guys walk out with me and look. I think we should at least attempt to look for it because and Bren, I'm not trying to be an ass or anything. We're just trying to get answers. We're just trying to understand. It's just it's hard to believe that you had this car and it was used a few times. >> Ultimately, she was arrested and charged with fraudulent use of personal identification of a person 60 or older, fraudulent use of a credit card more than two times within 6 months, and petty theft. Using someone else's credit card repeatedly cannot simply be dismissed as a mistake. The evidence eventually revealed a pattern that was far harder to explain away. >> Three times that you shoplifted this. >> You got all three times. Look it up. Look it up right now. >> Sir, I have >> I I I want a warrant. >> Oh, now you got a felony. Now you got a felony. >> On the 27th of February, 2026, deputies were dispatched to a Waw Wa after receiving a report of a woman shoplifting. But this was already the third time she had done it there that [music] morning. Here's what happened when the deputies arrived on scene. >> Stop. Backpack on. >> Chance behind your back. >> Food. >> Just causing a scene. >> Saying I'm going to punch people screaming in the middle of the store. >> I wasn't going to punch anybody. >> I don't care. >> I ain't saying nothing about punching anybody. You can you can look up the mosquite. You can look at the video surveillance. >> We have the receipt navigation over some Walmart. Oh, waw wa. >> Yeah, absolutely. So, we have the receipt. >> We have the receipt that I paid for all three times that you shoplifted this. >> You want all three times? Look it up. Look it up right now. >> Sir, I have >> I I I want a warrant. Look it up. >> You want a warrant? >> Yes. Look it up right now. >> I paid for all the that I bought right now. I bought a >> Here, sir.

What the is wrong with you, [ __ ] >> Okay. find that calm down. >> In this shoplifting incident, the woman reportedly took a $2 sandwich. But what she did next made the situation far more serious a drink and a sandwich. Yo, you give me that [ __ ] Give me that. He's laughing. This [ __ ] YO, WHAT THE GIVE ME the [ __ ] Give me the [ __ ] >> Are you kidding me? >> Give me the You [ __ ] >> You get in the car. >> Oh, now you got a felony.

No, I was I just need the only person. >> I don't care. You're going to go to jail. Get away from me. >> Just go. Let them do what they got to do. >> Battery only. >> After successfully detaining the woman, a deputy returned to the store to gather more information from the loss prevention staff. >> Hi. >> Hey, so you have shoplifting? >> Yeah. >> Like 100%. >> Oh, 100%. Perfect. >> So, first she grabbed a bag >> and filled it full of crap. >> Okay. >> And which I wasn't 100% sure on. And then I saw her >> grab some beef jerky and stuff and stick it in the bag. >> She walked up here and pretended like she was going to bring up a bag of nuts. >> Okay. >> And then she goes, "Oh, it didn't give me a receipt." I said, "Well, you actually have to bring it through in order for it to give you a receipt." And I said, "You also need to pay for the beef jerky that I saw you stick in the bag." >> Mhm. >> She goes, "I paid for that." I said, "No, you didn't." >> What bag? the orange backpack. >> No, she had a one of our Waw Wa shopping bags. >> Okay. >> Have a great day. >> And then she goes, "I paid for that." And he took it out of the bag cuz he knew that she didn't pay for it. >> So he paid for that and the nuts. She came back in a little while later. Well, she grabbed the receipt and then she slammed it on the counter and she goes, "Look, Iinging paid for it." >> I was like, "Okay, that's how we're going to meet." She left. She came back a few minutes later, used the bathroom, blah blah blah. She came back in like four times. Then she came back in right before I called you guys, grabbed a mango juice and a wrap from the express case >> and walked out the door. >> I said, "You need to pay for that or I'm going to call the police." This is the third time. >> Mhm. >> And she kept going. So I I called you guys. I was like, "I'm done." >> Okay. >> She made it around the building. He started walking back in when I was on the phone with you guys. And he goes, "Are you calling the police on there?" I said, "None of your business." Mhm. >> He's like, "Can you not call the police on her? It's been a rough night." I said, "I don't give a >> Back with the suspect, she continued screaming and insisting she was innocent, showing no shame." But the longer the officers listened, the more the truth began to come out. >> Hey, >> keep kicking this door. I'm going to hog tie you. All right. >> So, you calm your ass down and relax. I don't care about shoplifting. >> All right. >> It's not going through your >> I don't care about the shoplift receipt. >> That's nice. You have a felony. Congratulations. What the [ __ ] did I do? Look at the camera. Holy Christmas. Where did her boyfriend go? >> She's not kicking it. It's her hands. >> Is that what it's doing? >> Yeah, it's it's her hands and the handcuffs. This was specifically mentioned. All right, let's see our phone. All right, chill for a second. I'll be right back. >> Try to see if there's a way to converate with the officer, but >> Oh, what? >> This is the mother and everything. >> Good morning. >> Good morning. >> I am so sorry. She has been having a rough time. just for an amazing family. We're all military people. >> I understand. Well, I I'm not entirely sure what popped off this morning. This was a a simple uh shoplifting that I probably could have issued a notice to appear for. Uh she flipped the lid. All she's been doing since is screaming and kicking. She kicked the corporal in the chest. Uh he's wanted looking to charge her with a felony battery on law enforcement. >> Okay. >> I promise you she's over. What's the issue? >> Okay, but I got a bag full of stuff. So, she stole out of Wawa as well. What do you want me to do with that? >> Okay. I don't mind. >> As they reviewed the receipts, the employee pointed out even more stolen items. With so many incidents tied to her, it was becoming clear that she wasn't as innocent as she kept claiming. >> Okay. I Yeah, that's that's I was like, they don't just call for nothing until they know our procedure and what probable cause for, you know. >> Yeah. He brought her back in when I called you guys to pay for the wrap and the mango juice. >> Okay. And that's all on video. >> Yeah. >> Perfect. >> Yeah. Because And then she That's when she got aggressive and she's like, "See, I paid for it." >> And we have all that. >> Oh, yeah. >> Beautiful. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. I just got here. They're They're going in to check what is and what isn't stolen. >> And I We know everything. >> Those are the three items I know for a fact that she stole today. >> There's like a cold Arizona tea. There's watermelon. There's >> But those are the three items that I physically saw her take. >> They were in here a lot of times specifically at least five or six times. >> The other stuff in the bag I I know she stole, but I didn't physically see her take it. >> Okay. >> Have a receipt. All that other receipt is from another grocery store from last night. >> Where's the receipt? >> Not in my bag. Go back home. >> You didn't give us the receipt, but you need to go back home. We'll do that and I'll get her to the county. >> Okay. Here. I got you. >> So, the receipts that he has. >> Well, you you paid for the stuff. >> Yeah. You paid for this. You paid for it before she walked out of the store with it. >> When she had paid when she had went. >> So she took all the stuff. He went back in and paid afterwards. So she passed all points of sale. >> So >> you only had to receive three items, [ __ ] Because that's all Iing paid for and all I got from this gas station. You're not understanding. That's all I got. >> Look at the Look at the camera. >> I I am looking at >> Look at the camera. That's all I got. >> That's all you got? >> Look at the camera. >> I did. >> Look at it again, [ __ ] >> In the end, she was charged with retail theft, disorderly conduct, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer without violence. A small theft can quickly become a much bigger problem when you choose to resist and escalate the situation. Cooperating with officers may not erase the consequences, but fighting the arrest can add serious charges. Don't let this happen to me. >> What happened? >> Stop or you're going to go to the ground. >> I pod that they're looking for go buy this AirPod. >> Like what the >> On the 9th of October 2026, an officer received a call from a victim reporting a missing AirPod. The tracking location led to a Goodwill store where a female employee became a suspect and her attitude only added to the suspicion. >> So, I'm going to tell you right now, she just wants it back. I don't have the AirPod. >> She told me it got tracked to you like three different times. >> I don't have a AirPod. >> Is there any chance it could have been in your purse? >> No, I don't have an AirPod. >> Do you have your ID on you? >> No. >> No. Hold on. Hey, >> I will literally >> You are not No, you are not free to leave right now. Come here. >> I don't have it. >> I'm not telling you that. You're harassing me. >> I am absolutely not. Stop. You're not free to go. You're going to be put in handcuffs if you keep running away from me. No. Right now you're detained. Yes, I am. >> Right now you're detained. Cuz I'm detaining you. >> How? Because in the investigation. >> I don't have AirPod. [snorts] >> You're accusing me of having a someone's AirPod. I don't even have >> Can I have your ID, please? >> What the >> Can I have your ID? >> It's in the back of my locker. I'm not grabbing it for you. >> No, >> you are detained. You're not >> How am I detained? >> The question is, if she had done nothing wrong, why was she acting so evasively? Was there something she wanted to hide? She was even willing to escalate the situation further. What the? >> Stop. >> I don't have it. >> Stop. >> I don't have it. >> High five. Send me another hand. >> How are you going to let this happen to me? >> I don't have it. >> Stop or you're going to go to the ground. >> I don't have it. >> Give me your hands. >> Yeah. After this, I'm quitting. It's too hard. >> Give me your hands. >> What the is happening, bro? I don't have the AirPod. >> Stop. Give me your hands. >> Can you call my mom? >> No. Stop. Give me your hands. I have the AirPod. >> Stop. >> This is heavy, bro. You're going to break my >> No, I'm not. Stop fighting me. >> Stop fighting me. >> This is so ground. Stop fighting. >> What the What the hell is happening right now? >> Give me your hands. >> What the >> Give me your hands. >> What the >> Give me your hands. >> What the You have my hands. What the >> dude? I feel violated. >> Give me your hands. Stop. YOU HAVE MY HANDS. [screaming] OKAY. >> Oh my god. The sun. Um. >> Oh my god. What the is HAPPENING ON THE GROUND? >> WHAT the is on the ground? >> Calm down. >> Calm down. Calm down. >> Calm down. >> Calm down. >> I DID NOT DO NOTHING for you. >> Calm down. >> What happened? This thing got some gun. >> Your whole body is all the ground. >> Fortunately, the officer quickly moved the chaos outside to avoid disturbing other customers, but the female employee didn't seem to care. Instead, she kept acting as if she were the victim in this situation. >> Can I use the phone to call my mom? >> Not right now. >> Why? >> Come on. I got her. What the >> I don't even know what is happening. >> Okay. Going face right here. [screaming] I'm going to just search in some arrest. Okay. >> Okay. Go ahead and wide out your stance, ma'am. Wide out your stance. Wider, please. Wider, please. You need to stand right. Thank you. Back of my hand here. Okay. [crying] >> What the is this even for? >> I don't know the initial thing, but right now you're under arrest for resisting or for obstructing. Okay. >> What the almonds? >> Yes. >> Don't worry about it. It's not yours. He's asking if it's almonds. >> I don't even know. >> I don't give a step on me. Don't step. Hey, I'm sorry. >> Well, stop joking with me. That's fine. >> Accusing of me is stealing an AirPod. I don't even >> I don't even know. >> You them. >> Please stop moving. I got >> Because I don't have somebody's AirPod that they're looking for. Just go buy a new AirPod. Like what the I don't have anything on >> telling the victim to just buy a new one. Clearly, since it wasn't her property, the woman didn't care at all. Even worse, she only seemed concerned about her own belongings once she was arrested. >> Cuz you're a police officer, dumb ass. >> Uh, actually, hang on one second. I'm getting Okay. >> I'm getting arrested. I'm >> like, am I supposed to being working? >> Real quick. >> Can someone grab my phone and put it in my locker? >> Grab your phone here. Go ahead and put your feet in. >> Can someone you want your phone to go to your locker instead of with you? >> No, I need my phone. >> Okay. You You said something about the locker. Do you want the phone to go with you to jail or do you want it to stay here somewhere? >> Why am I going to jail? >> At least for obstructing at this point fighting with officers. >> What the >> If there something to talk about, you would have had the opportunity to talk about it. But then you decided to fight instead, right? because she arrived at my job >> while I'm working accusing me this morning of having her her AirPod that I don't >> microphone to go with you to jail >> or do you stay at a locker you mentioned >> can it bring can I bring it with me >> Sure. >> Do you have anything else from inside that you need us to have the boss bring out to us or anything? >> I need my lunch box. I need my purse. >> So lunch box we can't bring cuz we can't bring food. But you got a purse in there somewhere. working. What is going on? >> You said you got a purse somewhere. >> Yes, it's in my locker. >> Okay. Is there someone in there that knows where your locker is or how to get >> Fine, I'll just leave it there. Where's my badge? >> Your badge? I'll go. Uh, I pulled it off right here. >> This badge. >> I'm going to need that. >> Okay. >> But the biggest question remained. The missing AirPods had yet to be found. Officers continued checking the tracking signal, but would it really lead them to the suspect, or was there more to this case than they initially thought? >> Can you ping them again for me? >> Can you ping them again? >> Oh, yeah. Uh, let me get my phone. >> AirP, >> huh? >> Did you get things back? >> No, but uh she wants her purse and stuff on the back. >> We need to play right now. >> Yeah, they might be. Are they still tracking right here? >> Yep. >> So, they might be in her purse. are going to get her. >> Yeah, they're here. >> They haven't moved since she got here. >> Yeah. >> Are you going to Mirandise [snorts] her and see if she wants to give them up or >> I haven't yet. I'm going talk to her. >> Yeah, >> um she can ping it once it comes over here and just play a sound. So, we'll just do that. Um the security guard and the other chick went back there to grab her stuff. Where's her stuff at? >> In the locker. They have to open her locker. >> Oh, the security has to open it. No, the other manager. Other system manager. I have the key in the safe. >> Okay. >> Open it. Check it. >> No, I >> just got it from box 13. >> Box 13. >> Are they still in here somewhere? >> Yeah. >> Oh, okay. >> Hey, [snorts] can you ping it? is trying to connect. >> With no sign of the stolen AirPods, the investigation seemed to hit a dead end. The suspect then explained what had happened that morning, trying to prove her innocence. >> I got picked up by my friend that comes here for work, too. And we got here at like 7:23. And we literally just sat in the car for literally not even a minute. And this the lady comes pulls up on us. Um, excuse me. Do you guys have the AirPod? And we're like, huh? What AirPod? >> Just genuinely asking like, "What do you mean?" And I was confused because I never had someone ask me for an AirPod before. >> Yeah. >> And she's like, "Oh, I'm sorry. What do you mean?" My friend in the car said that and the lady who walked up to the car said, "Oh, I'm looking for my AirPod and it brought me to you guys." And my friend was like, "Oh, I'm sorry. We don't have it. We just got here. We're about to clock in." Asking for the AirPod and we could have sworn that we didn't have it cuz we didn't even get out the car at the time, >> right? And then she just kept asking and then she looked because this morning I'm pretty sure you guys were up there with the RV person. >> And I think I'm tracking now cuz someone came over to me and mentioned an AirPod. Yeah. >> Yeah. And um so we were like, "Oh god, hopefully that doesn't turn into a big thing." And then me and the person that I was with were like, "Dude, if she's looking for an AirPod and attracted us to us, it's it's weird. Even the person who um a person who works at the donations, his name is Rayon and his AirPods were even getting tracked and they were ringing in his mom cuz he was just in the parking lot. His mom's carpods just uh she said it was pinging when you got here. >> Yeah, it was pinging to the back of the store when I talked to her before we got here. >> I didn't go in time to see if like going to bully like mess with it, one of our friends cuz one of the ladies that knows her was back there. >> Mhm. So, I was trying to get back there before, but it looked like they just opened it when I got there. >> They'll be wrong. They could have opened it and turned it off. >> So, you don't have any any AirPods with you? Yours, hers, or otherwise? >> I don't. You can even check my purse. But I don't I don't I I swear to >> Who did you say had AirPods ringing? >> Um, his name is Rayon. >> Rayon? >> Yeah, he's he's a taller black dude that wears glasses. In the end, the woman was charged with one misdemeanor count of obstructing a law enforcement officer. The AirPods were never recovered during the investigation. Refusing to cooperate may turn a simple encounter into a much bigger problem, especially when someone resists lawful detention. Staying calm and allowing the investigation to proceed can prevent unnecessary escalation and additional charges. >> Get up. >> Get your hand out of your backpack. >> I was going to sell it. Obviously, I was going to go baffle and put it put it uh in pretend that was good to me. [music] >> On the 22nd of August, 2024, police received a report that two men had been stuffing multiple bottles of alcohol into their backpacks to steal them. One of them, 48-year-old Jerry, fled the scene on a bicycle, triggering a tense police pursuit. [snorts] 9905. 905. He's not stopping. I've got stayed out with me. We're at a He just stop. Leg. >> Get your hand out of your backpack. >> Okay. Come on. Sit up on the curb, dude. >> You hurt? >> Why are you running? You got a warrant? >> You on bond? >> Do you need medical attention? >> The man had exhausted nearly all of his energy trying to escape, leaving him completely worn out and barely able to answer any of the officer's questions. >> You didn't hear anything? >> You didn't hear my sirens. What about your eyes? Are you blind? >> Cuz you looked at me multiple times. >> Well, you crossing the road then. You're on a bike. You're about >> in the intersection. You drove right by me. >> I'm sorry. I'm trying to get to safety, man. >> Trying to get to safety. >> Yeah, my bless you. >> I'm trying to get to safety. Why you crossing Highway 16 multiple times? That's not very safe, is it? >> No, I'm trying. >> Just alcohol, boss. I don't know why you're running. You got a warrant? >> No. >> My vision spots. So, >> they're coming. So when I'm like that, I get nervous and I run. >> What's that have to do with your vision? >> Because I'm a diabetic, it affects my eyes. I only got one right of prosthetic. >> It doesn't stop you from stealing. >> I know. I know. That was stupid. [laughter] I mean, >> come on, man. Walmart's like the worst place you could steal from. They're watching. >> I swear. I swear I All I see is spots. >> They're coming. >> When I was riding, all I see was spots and and lights. My right eye going out, too. >> Yeah, that's what he says. That's where I always stuff for the police. Do >> you have a driver license or or identification card? >> No. >> Nothing in your backpack? >> He repeatedly used his personal condition as an excuse to change the subject whenever officers brought up the earlier theft. He even appeared to deny responsibility at first, but that effort quickly collapsed under pressure from the police. >> You guys decided to go to Walmart and steal. >> No. No. I was I was going to go I mean, Listen, I >> like you know how how dumb that is. >> I understand, but I've seen I've seen him around. But I honestly only have conversation I had with him. I was about to fight him because I haven't ate since yesterday morning. >> Okay. >> So >> I would understand that and I would buy that if you were stealing loaf bread, peanut butter, food, whatever Mexico alcohol, dude. >> I understand that. I I was going to sell it obviously. I was going to go buy food and put it put it uh in a pretend that was given to me. So, if I'm in a position where I can't afford food and I haven't eaten for over a day, I'm probably looking to just steal a quick bite to eat, I would understand that. But you you have a backpack full of alcohol and you're running from the cops. >> I understand. I understand. It's I've been homeless for almost a year now. >> Okay. >> No, I was scared and everything. So, it was just a desperate, stupid um measure. >> Okay. The suspect was found to have stolen three bottles of tequila, two bottles of whiskey, and a set of bicycle lights, all of which were brand new and still sealed with security tags attached. Officers later recovered all of the stolen items. >> He's got some brand new. >> I'll set him down. I'm not going to Well, okay. >> That's good. Oh, I didn't see you have >> Jeez. Um, there's some bike lights in there that were I'm guessing stolen, too. I'm guessing those don't look like they've been in his backpack long. I can look at video. I probably got it. >> You want to get those top? >> He didn't. >> Hey, he didn't hit his head at all. >> Oh, he didn't? >> No, he didn't hit his head at all. Did >> he fell off the bike? >> No, he hit this. He hit like this >> and went Okay. >> In front of my head. >> No, you didn't. Listen, >> I just looked at the video. >> My head. >> We still need to get you a hand. >> Get those cuffs off. >> Gary, what hospital do you go to? >> All right. >> I'm going to start getting some vital signs. He's going to check your blood sugar. >> Oh, right here. >> At first, the man had plenty of energy to run. Now, he was bringing up all kinds of medical conditions as if they would change anything. They didn't. And the officers had already made up their minds. >> Cuz he's going to jail. >> I got a code or something. >> What's that? >> You're going to jail. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. You're going to jail. >> It doesn't matter how long you sit in the hospital for. >> I I understand. I understand. >> Ready? Stand. >> I should I should have been taking medication for my PTSD, didn't But I honestly I get paranoid. I I haven't been stealing three days. >> Okay. That has nothing to do with you stealing. Nothing to do with bail jumping. Nothing to do with you. Basically, I'm just I'm just trying to figure this off myself. >> Can Can we Can we work on getting the ambulance first? Then we can talk about everything else. All right. >> Bud moves. Can you lay back though? Swing your feet up. You got it. >> Being charged with retail theft, >> bail jumping, and felony fleeing. Okay. >> Felony fleeing. Why is it felony? >> Clean. So felony. >> Yes. I didn't know that. Yep. >> That's why you need to make better choices. if you're going to be cruising around with him. >> Yeah, I'll take that with me. I'm going to >> I'm going to have to ride down with him. >> Yeah, now that he knows he's going. >> Um, he asked if they could do an X-ray in there and not the hospital. So, I'm guessing he's like second guessing what he's doing and he wants to go to jail. So, >> if you want to take the alcohol back to Walmart. >> Sure. Yeah, I can do that. >> Jerry was ultimately convicted of felony fleeing, eluding an officer, retail theft, and two counts of bail jumping. Taking responsibility for your actions is always better than running away as excuses and avoidance only lead to more serious consequences. >> All my stuff in the hotel, too. And I have to go to jail and I'm going to take all my stuff. Please don't leave me. >> On December 2nd, 2025, police responded to a call from Target about an ongoing theft. At that moment, they ambushed the suspect as she tried to flee with the merchandise. I don't have any >> up against the wall. Put your stuff down. Put your stuff down. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> All right. Put your hands behind your back. All right. Stay just like that. Don't move. >> Well, I'll pay for it. >> Nope.

She'll grab your stuff before that other car can hold off. one custody. >> Can you please >> Is it too tight? >> All right, just sit tight. Hold on. >> Stand right here. I'm going to fix your cuffs. Relax. >> Can I just pay for it? It's not even a law. >> Please. >> Hold on. I got to grab my key. >> Clearly, the woman knew the value of the items, but never intended to pay from the start. At [music] that point, she began to play the victim. All my stuff in the hotel, too. And I have to go to jail, so I'm not going to take all my stuff. >> That's not That's not the case. If you got to go to jail, then they'll just put your stuff aside. Is this someone hurt? >> No. Nobody's going to know that I'm going to jail or anything. Nobody will go get my stuff. I don't have any family. >> All right. Go ahead. >> Sorry. >> I'm full. >> [clears throat] >> and I won't ever teach me. >> What is your name, miss? >> I'm just trying to take get stuff to take back for my kids Christmas present. >> Is it two L's? >> Okay. >> I'm going to read you your rights. Okay. >> Am I going to jail? >> Yes. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you will be in question. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any question if you wish. >> Her face appeared completely remorseful, but sadly it was all fake. Not a single tear fell. With that expression, she had to admit her actions. >> What did you What did you put in your purse? >> What she has in her shaver thingy. >> The shaver thingy. And what's the other thing? They're both shavers. All right. >> All my stuff's going to be going on my baby's purse. [laughter] >> Do I have to go to jail? >> Yes. >> Can I make a call before? So now I have somebody trying to go get my stuff at my hotel. >> Where do you live at usually? I don't have home right now. I'm about to go back. >> I meant like are you from Poria? >> Yeah. Please don't take me. >> How many babies you got? >> Where you at? >> DCFS. >> DCFS got both kids. All right. What are you doing? [laughter] >> What are you doing for Christmas this year? >> I wanted to see my kids, but I can't. So, I'm getting them present. >> All right. >> Please don't [laughter] make me. The woman brought her children into it as an excuse, but it seemed only a ploy for sympathy since the receipt showed she had also stolen items for herself. >> Can I keep this? >> Take a picture. [snorts] >> Are you going to keep me? >> No, you'll be out by tomorrow. Can you put these in front of me so I can scratch my hand? >> I cannot. >> Did you put Did she pay for this lip smacker stuff? >> Okay. >> I forgot it was on my thing. I really did. >> All right. >> All right. We're waiting for the wagon to show up. elect 337 25 337. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. [snorts] Academy. Officer, >> what's up, man? >> All right.

Whether she liked it or not, she was taken away. My stuff should >> count. >> What's probably going to happen is you're going to go over there. They're going to book you in. >> You didn't give me your iPhone. Yeah, we got this. >> Do you have anything on you that they're going to find at the jail that you're not supposed to have? >> Okay.
