I mean, he came out and he was like, "You don't favor stuff in your cart." I was like, "I I don't know." And they were all like staring at me and I don't know, they're just freaking out. I just left. >> You won't be arrested. You conceal none of those items in that bag, which they're checking out. You're going to be arrested. When shoplifting cases were no longer as simple as catching suspects inside [music] the store, they became outdoor pursuits as suspects tried to escape. With the evidence still in their vehicles, they quickly found there was no escaping a bitter ending. Here are the times when cops surprise catch shoplifterss in the [music] act outside Walmart. Beginning with this woman, a $3 theft led officers to uncover several more secrets. >> Resisting and I'm telling you, >> how am I resisting? Can you double check it? That is my baby. >> But that's my baby. >> On the 26th of September 2025, officers were dispatched to Walmart after receiving reports of three individuals who were caught skip scanning several items at the selfch checkckout. One of the three suspects was seen casually walking away and hiding inside a nearby business, which also fully explained her uncooperative attitude when officers approached her.

So >> meanwhile, the officers issued trespass warnings to the other two suspects >> cannot come back on this property. >> You're no longer welcome authorized invited on this premise. If you return to Walmart, you will go to jail. >> But let me ask is it if it's because of her? >> Nope. It's because they have you are along with a individual shoplifting.

You don't know what that man did to me. >> For what exactly? >> Look at the cameras. >> What did he do? Explain to me. >> For us to get your side of the story, we need to conduct our investigation. So, part of that is getting your name. >> Okay. Well, I have done nothing wrong. I'm on camera. You guys can see that for yourselves. >> And we will. We're not under arrest. You're being >> I know I'm not under arrest. I didn't do anything. And I know I want the supervisor and I won't say nothing until my attorney's here. >> My my thing. >> Well, okay. Well, when my when my attorney and the supervisor gets here and you guys look at those cameras and see what that man did to me. >> She used her right to request an attorney and tried to steer the officers in a different direction, which only made them more suspicious. She seemed willing to talk about anything except providing her own information. She has nothing. >> Miss Amy, you have to identify yourself cuz we're so conducted by >> I want the supervisor here. >> You need to leave. >> You got to go. >> Wait. No. They let this man do this to me and it's not fair and I'm not going to put it. I know my rights. I'm not I'm not to you guys. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> What? No. >> Don't resist. >> Sarah, come here. Get my stuff. >> Here. >> Can I grab your phone so it doesn't get dropped? >> I'm trying to help you. >> Yeah. I'm just All right.

Leave the property. >> You're resisting and I'm telling you. >> How am I resisting? >> Get myself. >> Get out. Let go. Let go. >> I'm going to call you. >> Let go. >> What about you? >> All I have is >> Can you give her my stuff, please? >> Sarah, do you have an is trying to signal? >> Amazingly, the stolen merchandise was worth only $3. At this point, the woman was taken to the loss prevention office to see the evidence of her theft firsthand. >> So, let's let's stop the talking for a minute while we gather at all of our investigation, and then we'll talk to you when we're ready to speak to you. Okay. >> She scans that. She doesn't scan the other item, puts it in there. There's items in her hand. Goes ahead and puts everything that's in her hand in the shirt in the bag. That item is not scanned and she puts both of them in the bag. >> Okay, >> that's the second time. I stopped him and all I told her when I found out how much it was, all I said was just go pay for it. >> I gave him the option. I don't have to do that. >> You >> I don't have to do that. >> Okay. >> And then she got aggressive. >> Oh. So, >> but like what what she said that I probably got my in high school and I was probably going to get my right now. >> She was at register over here. Her friends at register over here. >> They were at the same register. >> They were together. Okay. So, she's scanning the items on her phone or with the scanner. >> She's scanning it on the >> with the scanner. Okay. So, she's scanning items. She The one that we can confirm that she placed into the bag is the $3 perfume, the pink bottle. Correct. Okay. The other items she was aware of not being scanned, but the one she physically placed in the bag was a pink one. >> And then this is all the stuff that they gave up after, you know, I caught them under. So this is $70 worth that they >> decided that was not me that she decided to grab cuz you can see her right here and say we don't want that anymore >> in her hands. >> Okay. >> Despite the clear evidence of her actions, she continued to play innocent and began dodging the issue by bringing up her views on women's rights. You know, >> you know why? Because he started her harassing about my face. Because my face he started talking about >> So you have a Do you have ID in here? Um, no. I have money. Like they came out and like straight up started because I have a tattoo on my face. He started saying something to me. I said, "Why are you so angry?" They went to go pay him the money cuz we didn't even know that. And he's just so angry about me cuz I was like, "You want to talk about women's face?" >> All right. So, what's your first name? You definitely was seen on video stealing also. So, you're you were >> That was I didn't get your first name. That way we can uh >> That wasn't me. >> I didn't get your first name. Amy. No, that's >> Are you going to give me your first name or no? It's just going to be difficult. >> You're going to be booked under John Doe. You're going to get an additional charge for resisting. You've already got two. >> Did you see I didn't do anything? >> Please provide your identification to this officer. >> But you said I have the right to remain silent. >> Okay, cool. >> Okay. >> Right. So, >> yep. We'll take her under John Doe and then we'll just go ahead and get up. >> I want to press charges on him. >> Okay. >> That's harass. >> That's discrimination. >> Okie do. >> He wants to come at me because I had a tattoo on my face and he was like, "Oh, nice ghetto tattoo. You you Oh, you get talking about how ghetto I am. I'm not ghetto. So, I should be treated like that when there clearly there's some other girl doing that [ __ ] that he went after me cuz I had a tattoo on my face. >> I just watched you >> take this. >> Did you >> and not scan it and put it in the bag? >> Yes. >> So, you shoplift it? >> No, I didn't. >> Okay. >> I scanned both of them. I don't know if that that if you look, I put both of them over the thing. Like I I don't That's not even my stuff. I don't wear that. I would not do that. I have four children. >> Her attempts to deny everything fell apart as she still refused to reveal her name. During the search, officers also found a bag of white powder on her, which they suspected was drugs, but you would never believe the excuse she was about to give. >> There's a a large bag of a powdered substance inside of your purse. >> Can you show me? >> You can lift it. Just try. >> Lift up the bag. Show her. >> Charlie, >> can you come closer to me? I don't know what that's got drugs. >> Do you have any infants? >> Do you have an infant? >> No, I don't. >> Any baby that has formula or something like that? >> No, I don't. That's not drugs. There's no way that What is that? Go look at it. It's right. >> I Okay. >> Well, do I mess it? What is that? >> Oh, that's my ashes. That's my That's my baby's ashes. That's Those are cremation ashes. Please don't mess that up. >> That's not ashes. >> Please don't mess it up. Miss Amy, uh, why do you have Narcan? >> Narcan? >> I've always keep that on me. >> Why? >> Because I've had about like three friends die that are very close to me from high school. You don't know. I've made sure I try to give that to >> just precautionary. I I Okay. When I and Officer Monttos made contact with you and he attempted to put you in handcuffs and you pulled away from him multiple Hold on. >> You pulled away from him. You tensed your arms and you made it difficult for him to secure you. That is resistance. >> You know what I had to give my sister >> two? When I asked your name when I asked for your name and you told I guess initially at CeCe's at Cece's you told someone your name was Amy Foot. That's false identifying yourself. >> Amy Foot. >> That's what you told officers at Cece. >> I thought she said I didn't tell nobody my name. >> You said Amy Foot is what there is what officer outlaw said. Then when I asked you to provide your name, date of birth to me three times and officer Monttos twice, you said no, I'm not. I don't have to. And you said I want a supervisor. That's what you've been charged with. And depending on what that test, >> I didn't try to but you guys saw what I was doing. I would never try to >> So over just $3 worth of stolen merchandise. The woman had managed to pile on several more charges. But instead of showing any remorse, her entitled attitude continued as officers explained what she was now facing. Just so you know, you have three warrants so far. So far. >> Three warrants for what? >> For false IDing and failure to appear. >> Failure to appear for what? >> This is heroin and fentanyl. >> You're what is you're telling me I have heroin and fentanyl? You're going to tell me my baby's heroin and fentanyl? >> No. Wait a minute. Are you guys saying that my baby's heroin and fentanyl? >> There's no way in hell. >> That's what I'm saying. I'm going to do it again. >> Ma'am, I hope you're saying that it's not. Go ahead and jot down whatever she says for >> you guys. Are you guys trying to charge my baby my my baby's asses with heroin and fentanyl? >> Switch with me. >> Is somebody trying to set me up? Like what is going on? >> Yes, ma'am. Go ahead. >> You think it's mixed? >> You could the I don't feel confident with the fentanyl kit. >> Can you double check it? That is my baby. >> The woman was arrested on multiple charges after a $3 theft led officers to uncover additional violations. A $3 theft was only the beginning because her refusal to cooperate and attempts to hide the truth turned a minor mistake into a much bigger downfall. Next, this woman decided to test her luck with a one-day theft spree. >> I'm harmless. I'm >> No, you're never done anything. >> Hard times. >> I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to get arrested. >> No, you have a toilet paper here. The basket, you said. >> Mhm. On the 5th of May 2025, police pulled over a vehicle after suspecting the driver was involved in a theft that had just occurred at Target. Here's what happened next. >> Hi there. >> Hi. >> Hi, I'm Officer SN with Vern Hills Police Department. >> Were you just at Target? >> Um, I was. >> You were? Okay. Did you pay for everything you had? >> Why are you asking me that? >> Just step out of the car for a moment, ma'am. Okay. Do you have your ID on you? >> I do. I want to step to the back over here. >> Okay. What what did you get at Target? >> A rug. >> The rug. What else? >> The sweatshirt, I think. >> Okay. So, Target's reporting that some of those items weren't paid for that they're taken. Okay. That's the reason for a stop. >> Okay. >> Um, have you been caught by them before? >> No. Have you ever been arrested? >> No. >> Am I being arrested? >> Well, right now, we're just we're just going to figure a few things out. Make sure it wasn't a mistake, right? So, there's a few things we have to do. Um, but right now, you are detained and you're not free to leave. Okay. Um once we get to that point, we'll >> I'll let you know. I'll be honest with you. Um but that's that's what they're reporting to us. Okay. >> Okay. >> Um so we're just going to hang out for a few minutes. >> Okay. No problem. >> But do you have a receipt for that? >> Um I don't know if I receive >> What was your name again, ma'am? >> At that point, the woman was still being cooperative, but she looked extremely worried. So the officers explained what could happen next to reassure her while also trying to get a better understanding of the situation. So, here's the thing. If you have never been arrested before and you don't have any criminal history, this is not going to end in you going to jail and sitting in jail overnight or anything for $100 worth of groceries, right? This is pretty low level, right? But it looks to me like something did happen here today. Okay, I see all the exact items I described and they're in your car right now. It's pretty obvious what happened here in my opinion. But like I said, talking on the big scale of things, it's pretty small, especially if you don't have any past history. So, is that is that true? Are we going to find any past history from you? >> No. Nothing. >> You've never been arrested before? >> Ever. Never. >> Anywhere in any other states? >> Never. >> Have you always lived in Illinois? >> What? >> Have you always lived in Illinois? >> Um, I was born in Texas. >> Okay. Nothing ever happened. >> Never been arrested ever. >> Ever. I have two kids and I'm just >> So, what happened today? How How come this happened? >> No, there's no other reason. >> Do you mind facing towards the Harbor Freight over there real quick? Step away from the car like right here. >> I'm harmless. I'm >> No, you're good. >> Never done anything. the hard times. >> I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to get arrested. >> No. And um like like my partner said, in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty pretty low. >> Hard times. I've got two kids. And >> she seemed worried about being arrested and soon revealed why she had stolen the items. It appeared she was trying to gain the officer's sympathy. >> One's in college and I don't make a lot of money and I just needed a rug. My dog peed all over my rug this morning and my house smells and I >> Can you do me a favor? Mhm. >> So, I'd like to go in your car and I would like to retrieve the items that were unpaid for. Can we do that together? >> I I don't think that's I mean, I don't know. >> If not, >> that's my right or >> Well, at this point, frankly, it's it's not because >> you are going to be under arrest. Now, I don't want you to freak out. That doesn't mean you're going to go to jail and stay in jail for some amount of time. You're not going to go to jail at all. Almost certainly, >> but temporarily, you are arrested. have committed a crime of retail theft today and it's something that we have to deal with and what's likely going to happen is we're going to have to arrest you. We're going to take you back to Target. We're going to go over some information with Target and then you're going to be given paperwork. You're going to be given a citation court date and you're going to be released. So, I'm giving you the whole idea of what's going to happen today so that I don't want to put you into a panic. But because you're under arrest, we are going to go into your car whether you help us and you assist us with going through these items or not. We're going to do it one way or the other because you are going to be placed under arrest here. So, I'm asking for your assistance. Can we go through and can you show me the things and talk us through what happened here? >> The officers then began recovering the merchandise, but suspiciously there were more items than what had initially been reported. >> So, the toilet paper here, the basket you said. >> Mhm. >> And maybe these little are these like Was anything paid for today? Nancy >> that other stuff that >> stuff you had already the water and everything here >> because it's pretty unusual for someone to do this amount of stealing on my very first try. >> I just I felt like I just I don't know what I was thinking. I went to get coffee and then I changed my mind and then I walked out the door like I was crazy woman. What property do you have in the car? Your phone, your wallet, your keys, anything of those things in there. How about we grab those things? Cuz I think what we're going to do, at least for the time being, is we're going to probably leave your car parked here and then we're going to have to head back to Target. So, if you want to roll with your windows, or anything like that. >> The officer then took her back to Target to return the stolen merchandise. As for the items that did not belong to Target, they questioned her further to determine where they came from. >> Okay. So, you wouldn't get those items back until you can show proof that you bought them. And that >> you can get through the store or through your um kind of where the credit card is. >> Did you put it in here? What >> the receipt for those items that you're saying you bought at the store? Um I think would be in the in the bags or something. >> In the bags. Okay. >> Well, what store bags are they? >> I was at Woodlands. [music] We have Woodman store. >> So yellow bags of Woodman's or what? >> Um she's saying Woodman's in like reusable grocery bags. And then what about the alcohol? Where'd you buy that from? >> Woodman's. >> Oh, okay. So everything came from which Woodman did you go to? >> Why wouldn't you just get everything at Woodman's? Didn't have drugs. >> Well, that was my plan was to go. >> Well, I mean Melissa, to be honest with you, I was I told you when we were talking by the car that I was giving you my dress. you were being honest with me and and you've proved that you haven't been. So at this point I don't really believe what you're telling me. I know you took those items and I'm just asking you at this point. >> Lulu lemon bag like a small >> Lulu lemon bag. >> Yes. It's before different than that one >> cuz she was over here. >> No, it's like a it's a >> purse. Well, I'm just wondering what what's back there. She's had a receipt for any of that merchandise cuz I wouldn't mind taking possession and calling Woodman's to verify. She doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with information. So, if we believe there's other stolen proceeds in that car, I will take possession of them. And >> yeah, if you want, I can go back over there. There's a lot of I'll put I'll put all the stuff in my car separate. >> The woman was charged with class 3 felony retail theft, given a court date, and released. She was also banned from all Target stores in Lake County for one year, while additional merchandise from her vehicle was turned over to Buffalo Grove Police for another retail theft investigation. Hard Times may explain why someone makes a desperate choice, but they do not erase the consequences of that choice. In this [music] case, the theft was only the beginning. The woman's inconsistent answers and the additional merchandise found in her car created even more suspicion and led to further legal trouble. Next, [music] this mother was arrested for trying to protect her daughter's theft. >> Stop. Put your hands up. >> Taser. Taser. >> I don't care. That's the way he called me up CUZ I'M LIKE I GOT THE CAR LIKE I don't know the behind me before I got out. >> On the 5th of September 2025, officers approached a woman believed to be connected to an ongoing theft at a local City Trend store. She was believed to be the mother of the suspect involved inside the store. Here is what happened next. >> What's going on? Uh, get back in the car for me. >> Oh, okay. You >> right. Correct. So, who else is in the car? >> Why are you talking like that? >> WHO ELSE IS IN THE CAR? HOLD ON. Hold on. >> Who else is in the car? >> First of all, don't come up here talking like that. You didn't talk. >> Who else is in the vehicle? >> My daughter is in the car. >> So, right now we're investigating a crime. >> Okay. That's what you should have said when you first came up here. Don't Don't talk to me like I'm a child because I'm not a child. So, talk to me with respect. I don't have my ID. >> You have your ID? No. Let me get your information. the wrong with you. You need to know how to talk to people. That's that even when you pull up. Oh, you should have said, "Oh, x and y is going on. This why I'm at your car." You should have said something. You just car. >> I'm pretty sure you know why. What's your name? >> Am I in the one? Am I in trouble? >> Well, we're investigating that, man. >> Investigating what? Did they say something about me? I'm like, get my name. So, what you need my name for? Investigate me for what? I didn't do >> While officers were trying to control the woman, they noticed her daughter attempting to flee outside. A pursuit immediately began. car. >> Huh? >> She just ran out the car. I'm going >> Where she go? >> She just went that way. >> Oh, she Hey, SHE GOING >> 62. Black female, blue shirt, WHITE PANTS.

Yet, she showed little understanding of the seriousness of her actions and immediately began making excuses for why she had run. >> No. Why were you running? I told you to stop. I TOLD YOU TO STOP WHEN I GOT OUT THE CAR. >> BRO, I GET LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, MAN. >> YOU WHAT? >> POLICE ALWAYS, BRO. >> WELL, you don't you don't run from us, though. You know that. >> Hold on. Wait. Hold on. I'm about to take you. Give me a sec. >> If you IF YOU COME, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MAN. YOU CAN'T TALK the police. >> But if I tell you to stop way back there and you keep running and you about to go in the door and close it, I don't know what you about to do. You understand that? >> I don't have time to figure that out. Okay? >> You can't do that. You have to stop when we say stop because at the end of the day, we don't know if you're going in there to grab a weapon. You're going behind a closed door. You understand that? Right. >> So, you can't do that, >> right? >> But I was >> Why were you running? Why? >> I did steal out the store. BUT I KNOW THE POLICE ARREST, BRO.

They'll see my car outside of the tire shop bay and she's sitting inside here on the floor. >> Like mother, like daughter. Returning to the woman in the parking lot, she showed no sign of ending her uncooperative behavior, forcing officers to take action. >> I'm going to get her. I don't like him. The way he talked to ME LIKE I DID SOMETHING WRONG. >> I'M NOT HIM. >> I don't care. I'M GOING TO GET MY CHILD. I'M GOING TO GET MY I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

That's the way he's talking to me CUZ I'M LIKE I GOT THE CAR LIKE I DON'T KNOW the up behind me before I got out. She remained increasingly confrontational, but that did nothing to prove her innocence and only led to additional charges. Clearly, this was not the kind of example a mother should set. >> For the god, I hate black POLICES AND I HATE WHITE POLICE. I HATE POLICE, PERIOD. I'M black to bring rac I just I don't like y'all.

She like I don't know. I just had to be like, "Okay." And I just I just started eat my food now. If I knew MY CHILD WAS I have my kids still. >> Okay. All right. Let me just think about your answer. The mother was charged with resisting an officer without violence, while her daughter was taken into custody after admitting to stealing the merchandise. A few dollars worth of stolen merchandise was never worth turning a shoplifting incident [music] into a chaotic arrest. One bad decision can quickly lead to consequences far beyond the original crime. Next, this incident became even more intense when the suspects turned out to be [music] a group of people. >> Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. >> Look over here. Oh crap. >> I'll call my dad to come get me. >> How old are you? >> 14. >> I'm a minor. >> We'll figure all that out in just a minute.

At this point, the officer turned his attention back to the young man who claimed he was a minor. He seemed confident that he would not go to jail because of his age. But the officer had a different conclusion given the crimes he committed. >> All right, my man. Nope. Nope. Just turn up. >> Step on out. We're going to search you. >> You have anything on here that's going to stick me, poke me, cut me, anything like that? >> No. >> All right. It's very leg bro.

However, the masked woman became visibly tense, causing the situation to quickly escalate. >> Come here.

Okay. >> I know where who you're looking for. >> Okay. Did somebody just commit a theft at >> No. >> Dollar General. Then that's not who I'm looking for then. >> During the investigation, officers confirmed that the woman was not involved in the Dollar General theft. However, that did not mean she was innocent at Lowe's. And officers soon confirmed evidence linking her to the theft there. We just had a So, this vehicle just hit on the flock over here. Okay. >> And it's a wanted suspect. She is from one of from us. Okay. >> We also just had a similar vehicle commit a theft at Dollar General in our our jurisdiction.

Okay. >> So, just chill out. We'll get it all. >> Can we move around where I can see her? >> We can go walk this up. You need to stay away from her. >> The store employee then came out to identify the merchandise that had been stolen. >> So, it sounds like probably what she did, she probably paid for these two, scanned and paid, and then pushed these out. >> You think something? Unlike store manager call back >> I don't know. One of your guys was take talking to Lowe's. They might have just sold from here too. They stole from our city. He found them over here. >> Oh, really? >> Went to get as soon as he got out.

Although she and her husband were not involved in the Dollar General theft, both were known theft suspects. [music] The detained man was released at the scene. Trying to escape the consequences only made the situation worse. Once the evidence was confirmed, the truth became impossible to hide, showing that resisting and creating [music] chaos would not ERASE THE CRIME. >> SOMEBODY go on Second Street. He's wearing the Paul Gray with a black tack. SHUT UP. PULL OVER. TURN DOWN. YOU'RE GOING TO BE PULLING OVER. >> HURRY UP. On the 23rd of January 2026, officers were dispatched to a retail store after receiving a report of a man attempting to conceal merchandise before fleeing into the restroom. This was what happened next when police arrived at the scene. >> Yeah. >> Scared you. >> So, he is in the bathroom right now. Um, he did take a pretty good arm load of stuff in there with him. I was back trying to clean off my table full of stuff that wasn't where, you know, where it was not belong. I literally had to run up here to call our people. Um, but he is still in the back. I don't know. Like I said, it was a pretty good arm load of stuff that he tell us like a couple of things he took that you know. >> Um, most of it was electronics. >> You want to press charges? >> Um, I'm not supposed to, but I'm sure the store will because it's probably a good amount of stuff. >> Yes. Supposed to call y'all out here. I just don't want >> We need We need to know if y'all going to press charges before we go contact him >> to physically be um I can ask my security office. Um let me call them right now and see. >> Shortly after, officers entered the store to locate the described suspect. And the moment they spotted him was the exact moment a chase broke out. >> There it is. I saw a black male walking with a backpack. Yeah, >> there he goes. >> He's going back. >> He's in our break room. Go. I don't believe the suspect's trying to run. >> HEY, STOP. STOP. Somebody go on Second Street. He's wearing all gray with the black hat backpack running through his apartments. I ain't going to run that. The suspect managed to flee into the nearby woods, but it was clear he wouldn't escape easily and multiple search measures were immediately deployed. Dispatch, be advised. >> Dispatch, just be advised. We're located back in the woods. >> PUT YOUR HANDS UP. >> CONTACT. PUT THEM UP. Put them up. >> Show me your hands. Put them up. >> I got him. Put them in. Put them on. >> SHUT UP. ROLL OVER. DO IT NOW. YOU'RE GOING TO GET BIT. ROLL OVER. ROLLING OVER. >> HURRY UP. >> HEY. Stand up. HANDS BEHIND BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. YOU GET [ __ ] I'M IN A BIG BACK NOW. NOW, WATCH YOURSELF. Watch yourself. >> Under the officer's search efforts, he was eventually found and his attempt to flee had effectively admitted to the earlier theft. Yet, despite everything that happened, he showed no sign of remorse. Little more evening joe. You lied to me. You're not James, are you? >> Yeah. >> Are you James Pope? >> No. >> I was going to say you not look too young to be James Pope. >> What's your name?

Put that goddamn dog on me. around. >> Oh, you told me to stop. You're not going to around anymore. >> Yeah, I didn't. >> Hold on. Hold on. Get us right here. Hey, you get us the the right. The left. God damn it. >> Just the left. >> We hold on. Don't give me this. >> It [snorts] was clear the man wasn't mentally stable. Inside the store, officers were sent into the restroom to recover the items he had tried to hide. >> Are you going to want to press charges? >> Yeah, they found he broke a Oh. >> Oh, yep. He's got some apple keepers on him where he was. >> That was all on top of the trash can. >> Oh, yeah. He broke some apple. Sure thing. >> You a Titan fan, man? >> Oh, no, man.

I don't know where that is. >> That that downtown by Hancock. All details about the address, origin, and sender were unclear, which made the officers increasingly suspicious. As they began questioning her more closely, it was also revealed that her connection to the company listed on the check was not clear at all. >> No, I wor those checks if you work for tempur. So why would Vince be sending you those type of checks? >> I don't know. Well, you don't take me in jail. I am in jail. >> I'm just trying to figure out what's going on cuz I I've worked for Express before and those are the checks that you get. You only get those if you work there.

He didn't expect any money in return. >> No, he didn't expect [laughter] nothing in return. >> This story sounded unbelievable.

So, you were to deposit his checks and then go buy gift cards and then send him part of the gift card money. >> No, he gave me He told me do what he told me.

I I open with $50. >> So, this is not the first transaction you and Vince have had. >> Yeah. >> I did multiple transactions. But like >> her resolve began to weaken under the weight of her own contradictions. She started making desperate pleas though she had not acknowledged any wrongdoing. >> Look, I don't know what to have. Please don't take me to jail. Please do not take me to jail. I don't want to go through this. I'm trying to stay out of trouble for real. I don't want to be in trouble. >> I do not want to go to jail. I've been I've been locked up a bunch.

Have y'all ever met in person? >> No, you haven't met in person. >> So, let's paint this picture. Okay. We're going to paint a picture and you tell me how to sound. You texting somebody you don't know, you never met in person. In a text message, you asking him to send you $7,000, $2,000. Do you think that's illegal money being transferred back and forth between y'all? If you've never met this person, don't know his last name. >> By this point, the woman realized that her attempts to lie would not change anything. She remained visibly tense as the officers made their decision. >> Let me read this real quick. Okay. >> Do you understand? >> Yeah. Where? What have I done? No. WHERE HAVE I DONE? I DIDN'T KNOW. >> LISTEN. >> NO. What have I done? You tell me that. >> Listen. Listen to me. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now? >> Yes. >> Okay. That's >> What have I done? >> So that's what we're trying to figure out. Exactly. But >> look, I ain't even got no money. I >> That's not true because you have transaction history at Target. >> I know that because they just confirmed it. So you >> No, no, that the money he PUT IN MY ACCOUNT ON THE CARD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT IT. I don't know how he got it. But that's the only way you can get it is if you give it to him. You know that anybody back still. >> Ultimately, she was charged with check fraud and taken into custody. That desperation can make people vulnerable to scams, especially when promises of easy money come from unknown sources. It is important to verify any financial offer and avoid sharing banking information or handling checks from strangers, no matter how convincing the story sounds. >> I don't got to steal no freaking computers. >> The back of the receipt doesn't have any printing or anything on the back of it. It's not I can show you our receipt paper. >> On the 10th of August, 2025, police approached a man believed to be involved in a shoplifting incident that had been carefully planned. When confronted, the man denied everything and even put his honor on the line to stand by his claims. >> I came here 27. >> I don't got to steal no freaking computers. >> I got I got money, man. >> 233 0558. >> That's stupid. >> 800 0. >> So, when did you when did you bought these this stuff? Today or >> today? >> Oh, okay. >> I don't know. like 6:30, 6 6:20 somewhere in that area >> like tonight. >> So, you just bought them? >> I just I just walked through customer. I went to customer service. The lady was giving me a hard time. I said, "Listen, man. >> I'm not trying to be an [ __ ] cuz I'm having a bad day, but every time I come to Walmart and spend more than $200, >> right? >> I get treated weird if I'm not wearing a suit or a tie, >> right? >> I don't I guess I don't look like a person >> who would buy $800, $900 computer, and I apologize for that." >> Okay. Okay, how does she not even want to shop here? I go to the same every time. I'm not an angel. Don't get [ __ ] up. I'm from New Jersey, >> right? >> But okay, she she looked at the receipt. She took the thingy off of it. I didn't even have to go to customer service. I walk to customer service. I get to the door here. Loss prevention stops me. She goes to the camera. She says, "Okay, everything's perfectly fine." >> Okay. >> She says, "Sorry, sir. You have a wonderful day." >> Is that Richard? Is that from from Walmart or is that a different >> No, this is this is from here too, but I bought this in different um departments. I got the luggage at the uh register with the computer. I got this. They made me buy this in electronics cuz the guy said that he gets um he gets commissions. >> So, I'm like, "Okay, I got something on my mind right now, right?" >> So, I'm like, "Whatever, man." >> So, I got this one electronics and the lady took my receipt at the door. >> Okay. >> Come on, man. I ain't bothered nobody, man. Why let me walk out of there if it was a problem? And why? I'm standing there. There's nobody blocking the door, but all y'all went in the room to see if I paid for this. >> None of the man's stories convinced the officers, pushing him to the point where he even used the weather as an excuse to make his situation seem more difficult. >> Now it's raining on the >> It's not It's not actually raining. It's just from the tree. >> This is an expensive unit. I don't play computers. Okay, >> I take these apart and swap for the aftermarket pieces, >> okay? >> And then I sell them on marketplace, >> okay, >> for damn near almost the same price that they sell on retail. And then I take the high-end GPUs out of there and I put it in a less quality product and I'll resell that, too. >> That's my business. Okay. >> I play with electronics. >> Did you pay with this for this with cash or with >> I pay with cash. I came here with cash. >> Okay. >> That's why I keep a locked money bag. If I make a big purchase, I come here with my money bag. Why? Because I don't have to flip burgers, but I still work for my money. >> All of these are flipped. I can take this apart and go to any computer store and get a dumbass computer and swap out the whole RAM and everything. The RAM alone is worth a few hundred. >> Okay. >> This has a liquid coolant system inside of it. How much you think that's worth? >> I don't. >> That's worth enough for me not to want any of this [ __ ] to get wet. This is a computer monitor. this temperature control parts inside of this monitor. >> Okay. >> Now, I'm standing out here in the rain because I spent more than $1,000. And then the lady at customer service looked at the receipt and looked at me and then the people here went into a room and told me to HAVE A NICE DAY. AND NOW I'M GETTING STOPPED by police. So that's why I'm disgruntled. >> Come on, man. I voluntarily stopped every time. Come on. This is stupid. That's dumb. >> Once I figured it out, man. No, it's not. It's deeper than that. You know how it feels. >> You don't think Okay, cool. Let's say we resolved this, >> right? >> I'm the black guy that got stopped in a [ __ ] Walmart by three officers. You don't think that's embarrassing? >> The man stubbornly insisted he was innocent and claimed he had a receipt to prove it, but it seemed the store had a very different version of the story. >> Okay, so what's going on there with him now? >> That is the paper receipt that he has. That is not a real receipt. >> He said uh he said that um he just talked about prevention. that he's fine to go and >> because we were trying to catch him up on the fact that he's trying to leave with his false receipt and he's >> with that amount of testimony from the staff, it was already clear how everything had unfolded. And at that point, the officers took action along with a clear explanation of their decision. >> Can you do me a favor? >> Am I under arrest now? >> Trying to be under. >> Wait, I'm I'm not I'm not struggling. I'm asking why am I under arrest and can you please explain that? >> All right. So, basically, they don't you didn't pay for them. All right. Sir, >> so the receipt that you showed them, it wasn't there's no automaticized receipt, >> sir. I showed them the receipt and they took the receipt from me. >> Okay. So, here's here's what >> Sir, I I here's here's the deal, right? So, we're going to go ahead and review the camera still. Right. >> PLEASE DO THAT NOW. YOU'RE YOU'RE PUTTING ME IN. THIS IS >> This is wrong. >> Yeah. Right now, you're being detained.
