[screaming] >> ON THE 24th of March, 2024, police received a call from a shopping center reporting that a woman had attempted to use a lighter to burn off security tags inside a store. These were the events that unfolded when officers approached the suspect. >> Okay, ma'am, stop. You're not free to leave. Okay. Were you burning tags off items? >> No. >> No. Okay. Did you pay for any of the items here? >> Uh, yeah. All my stuff is paid for. >> Okay. Do you have a receipt? >> Uh, yeah. I have a few of them in my Bible. >> Okay. If you can grab the receipt out, I got my receipts in my Bible. We did find, you know, >> that's what I have. >> The receipt for Burlington here. >> Oh, no. No, he's here. >> Did you take anything? >> No. >> Okay. The employee said that you took something. You were burning price tags or security tags off items. >> Well, I don't took something. >> Okay. Are you willing to show me what's in your bag? >> Well, you can look for my bag. >> Okay. Well, I'm asking you if you have anything in there that belongs to Burlington, >> I guess. I don't know cuz I don't sleep. >> Okay. Matt, do you hand >> to clarify the situation? They approached the store employee to gather more details about the item she was accused of taking. >> What exactly was the item? It was a handbag and then my associate. >> What's that? >> Okay. >> Nothing. >> You want to tell me? >> Scarf and a handbag. >> Cuz the ticket that I have was a handbag. >> Okay. Do you know where she put Did she put it in the bag? >> Yeah, it should be in her stuff. >> They're saying you have a scarf and a handbag.

Cuz the cash registers are over there. >> I know. >> I don't know. >> It's the craziest thing, huh? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> No, no, no. You're staying right here. >> At that moment, the officer returned to the woman. Immediately, she displayed different behavior, which only confirmed that her claim that everything had been paid for was a lie. >> Oh. >> Okay, ma'am. Here's the deal. You're >> I don't want to pay for >> You have a way to pay for the scarf? >> Yeah. >> Okay. If you want to go pay for the scarf, you need to do that. But you're being trespassed. >> Okay? >> So, you need to either give the scarf back or you can go pay for it if you want to keep it. But you can't come back here. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, I'm going to fill out a piece of paper. You can wait for your copy of the piece of paper or not. But if you come back within the next year, you could be arrested. Okay. >> Oh, okay. I'm going to go pay for >> Okay. Go pay for that.

Just even if she's just screaming at YOU [screaming] ANYTHING, [screaming] >> as if reciting scripture to a demon, the chaos only escalated. Even her frantic movements and piercing screams could not be contained behind the patrol car door. Huh? >> She's kicking the door. around. >> What would opening the window do? >> Prevent it from breaking. >> Don't kick our door. Okay. >> Okay. You're going to hurt your voice if you keep yelling like that. >> Are you threatening to hurt my officer? >> No. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Well, don't threaten my people. >> I don't threaten your people.

There's one right here, too. >> That was none of yours. That came from >> On February 3rd, 2025, police received a report from Macy's about a theft that had occurred.

Oh, there. >> Both women were charged with felony retail theft involving $1,300, burglary, and retail theft with a prior conviction. A past mistake did not stop them from repeating the same crime. And in the end, denial and blame only made the consequences heavier. When someone refuses to learn from prior convictions, the next fall is always harder. Next, another suspect concealed merchandise, but in a more naive manner. Yeah, but I didn't leave and it's in my bag to check out with. >> This is crazy. >> Not by me. I didn't remove all of them. >> I removed two. >> Oh, you removed two.

Danielle, listen. Listen. Hold on. Listen. So, yeah. >> I don't want to go to jail. I mean, >> listen. Stop. >> I'm handcuffed. >> Hold on. >> Yeah, you're right. If you walk out of the store with merchandise you didn't pay for, >> you get arrested. Right. Also, if you remove sensors without leaving the store, if you literally remove a sensor from a product, that's considered a shoplifting charge. >> But I didn't shoplift.

I didn't remove all of them. I removed two. >> Oh, you removed two. Okay. >> Yeah. Off the pants so I could fit them. She made her admissions as if she did not know it was a violation. Throughout the encounter, she did not care about her wrongdoing, only about her reputation. >> I swear to God, I'm not embarrassing. This is mortifying. >> I mean, I'm not going >> Listen, we didn't put you in a spot, right? >> I didn't put myself in the spot either. I didn't leave the store. >> Didn't you just say that? >> You popped off tags. You just said you did. >> Yeah, but I didn't know. You don't have to leave the store. >> I didn't leave the store. >> Okay. Just cuz you don't know something's a crime doesn't mean it's not a crime. You still can get punished for it. >> All right. >> Well, is there a rule book? Does it say it on there? >> There is. Yes. >> Where where does it say? Does it say it on here? >> That you can pop tags. >> I want to see it written on here. >> You can do that as soon as you get released. >> Oh, it's still over here. >> Well, when will I be released? >> Once we get everything situated.

So every time he goes to leave, I have to do a case. >> In the end, she was charged and convicted of retail theft. A single careless decision can destroy years of hard work. Ignorance of the law is never an excuse. And protecting your reputation means protecting your integrity first. Next came another suspect who concealed merchandise but with chaos. >> Can I be honest with you? You said you don't even know your name. >> You just said THE NAME OF THAT STUFF. >> I'm going to GIVE YOU MY FIRST GODDAMN [screaming] BAG. >> GET OUT.

You should never chose to be a police officer. >> Let my partner know >> come in to Starbucks for no reason. >> Get somebody who's actually doing a crime.

And then I noticed that she kind of like was like waving her hands and like just wasn't acknowledging anybody. She moved to the conference room like about like 10 minutes later. She still didn't purchase anything. So, then I went to go like let her know like, "Hey, you know, we have to purchase something." But when I went to go um go up to her and let her know, she wasn't acknowledging me. All she did was have her hands down, like moving her hands around, um have her head down, and then um she said something like, "I just want to see like my daughter or something." And then I was like, "Okay, she she just wasn't like acknowledging it at all." So then I just like left and then that's when I apologize. >> Okay. How many times did you ask her to leave? >> Uh once. >> Returning to the woman, officers attempted to approach her again to obtain further statements, but it did not seem easy.
