Upon arrival, officers attempted to gather identifying information by reviewing the store's surveillance footage. >> How are you >> doing? All right. My cashier said that she and she walk away with her stuff. So, the camera >> Yeah. to see what uh what exactly it is that we're missing. Any idea what they might have taken? >> I'm not sure. My cashier was the one that saw most of it. >> So the minute she said that there was someone walking around with um bags cuz they went by the bathroom. >> Okay. >> I started pulling up the camera.

I can't take your word. >> I know. Shortly afterward, an officer returned to the store to verify the stolen items, and it became clear that the situation was not at all as the woman had tried to present earlier. >> Well, it's not just you guys, so you got to figure out what's yours. And >> they stole from there, too, right? I just told you that they were going over there to steal. >> So, let's see what's your stuff and what's belongs next door. >> Every store around you. >> No way. They stole the oats we just put out. >> We literally just unlocked those. Awesome. >> All right.

Like $50 worth of items? >> Yes, probably. >> Cuz she ripped off tags on them. >> Of course she did. >> Oh, those are mine. They don't have a tag on them. >> All right. If you want to ring those up, we'll see uh >> how much how much that is. And then I'll bring these next door cuz I'm pretty sure these are from next door. So, if you could just print down a receipt for that. No problem. >> I say, "I'll come back." >> Mhm. >> The theft was now fully confirmed. Yet outside, the suspects continued to brush it off, acting as if the entire situation was being blown out of proportion. >> There's worse things to happen. >> Candy? >> Did you uh >> going to jail for candy? >> No, it's not. So, hear me out. Hear me out. Just because you're arrested right now doesn't mean you're going to jail. Okay. The way it works, right? Have you guys been locked up before? >> I'm a six and a six. I'm going to jail. >> Your PSA is a six and a six? >> Yes. >> You're confident in that? >> Wow. Good for you. Damn. >> Mine, too. >> What have you been locked up for? >> [ __ ] This [ __ ] >> This? Nothing serious. >> You? >> But I gave it up. Yes. Yes. >> Anything else serious? Any like weapons charges like that? >> I have none of that. >> No. Any drug charges? >> Have nothing but a DUI on your back. >> DUI is not criminal. >> It's a traffic offense. >> But um yeah. So damn, the judge going to have to release us. >> So no, no. The way it works is you're locked up right now, right? You're going to come back to the station. We're in a process. Both of you six. We going in. >> It's not up to me. >> That's what I'm saying. You got to call the judge. >> No, I got to call the the court and the judge. Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So like that. He just >> But that's so [ __ ] >> You're saying it's a six and a six. If it's a one and a one, you ain't going. >> It ain't. But it's a six and a six. >> I mean, if you're confident in that answer, okay. >> I absolutely know I'm a six and a six. I just came home from playing a year. Okay. >> And it's my first time ever being >> I just what? Two months ago. What? You got locked up? >> Shoplifting. >> It turned out the man was no stranger to shoplifting. He even knew the legal process and calculated the most favorable outcome, hoping to plead his way into leniency. >> Uh had a shoplift in the past. >> Okay. >> So, what's the question? >> I know that we might get released or we might not. I think it's just don't go in the store anymore or that type of stuff. I know we'll process. I won't know anything until we get inside. We got to see like what's going on. >> Warrants or whatever. I'm I'm pretty sure I'm good. >> If you got warrants or something, that's the only I mean, if it's just if it's just a shoplifting, then you'll get released. >> Yeah, but like point system. >> No, it doesn't matter for this. That's only for more serious crime. You'll most likely get released. >> I don't know. They they they uh last time I was counting. >> If it maybe you had a warrant. >> Yeah. >> If it was an indictable offense, >> if it's an indictable offense or you have a warrant, >> a court warrant. Yeah. Yeah, but if you don't have a warrant, then you're not going to go to the county. All right. >> Hey, another one. >> I got you. Just listen to the officers. >> Just hop in the car real quick. I'll be around. I say we're going to go inside. All right. >> So, you guys been cool with us, so we got no issues. >> Yeah. Like >> honestly, honestly, you guys can't go back in in the store, though. >> Oh, yeah. All right. >> All right. You can't go back to Dollar Tree. >> They don't want you back in there. You get back in there. you get yourself a trespass in charge which you're not getting now cuz they didn't tell you that in the past but you'll get that if you guys go back. >> No, I was just saying about the the palia like you know what I'm saying? Like honestly >> I got to talk to the other I got that bag from a guy saying I know I was walking had the hat and stuff in here. >> In the end the couple was charged with retail theft and parole violations then taken into custody for processing. Overconfidence and repeated wrongdoing only guaranteed a harsher outcome. Ignoring the warning signs turned a minor theft into serious legal consequences. Even worse, these individuals didn't even seem to understand what it meant to be guilty. >> Wait, what are we doing? >> That's not a crime. >> Still criminal. >> I get it. I get it. Yeah. On April 20th, 2025, police received a call from Walmart reporting an ongoing theft by a group of teenage girls. Upon arriving at the scene, officers immediately began assessing the situation using footage from the store's security cameras. >> She's selecting more clothes to bring. She's going to bring back another pair of clothes. >> So, they just keep bringing more items back to the shape of the thing. >> Yeah. You guys recognize these pillows? They meth December. I was chasing like two of them and they dropped the stuff and they run. You know, I couldn't do nothing. That's why when I see them today, I just let them know cuz yeah, they see me, but >> they're still on which they They go left. They're coming this way, right? >> Yeah. >> They're at a lane right now. >> I'm 11. >> Oh, I think they're going to that side. >> The eastern Yeah, they're facing that direction, but I don't know. At that moment, other officers were already waiting outside the store, quickly receiving the signal and immediately approaching the suspects who were completely caught off guard by the sudden action. >> You see? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Put your hands behind the back. >> Wait, what are we doing? Oh, wait. Let me wait. What the heck? I didn't shoot. I didn't do nothing. Wait, wait. What the heck? I didn't SAY I'M GETTING ARRESTED. HOLD ON. WAIT. MY PHONE. >> WAIT. Hold on. I need to call somebody. >> Stop resisting. >> I'm not resisting. >> Relax your hands. >> Okay. I'm relaxing here. Give me your phone. Wait. Wait. Hold on. >> Your boyfriend can wait. >> Wait. Hey, come on. >> Okay. Can I get MY WHY THE WHOLE RECORDING? >> STOP. Relax your arms. >> Oh my. >> Like he said, you're being detained for suspicion retail. All right. The police successfully detained the suspects who were unaware that their actions had been detected, leading them to display outbursts of anger to mask their fear. >> You were like, "No, why is she reporting?" Like what? Like I'm already, >> bro. I didn't even I didn't even touch nothing. Was trying to buy bra car. What? >> I'm trying to show off to her, but why was she recording me though? Like, is she allowed to do that? >> It's a free country. You can record whoever you want. >> No, that's not true. I didn't give her I ain't give her the first one in there. Freedom of speech. >> It includes pictures and video and publicity. >> I'm not trying to start no problem. I'm just already mad. Like, I was on the phone. >> Yeah, I saw you. You look pretty heated. >> I was mad as [ __ ] Hey, did you advise three detained or no? >> Okay, probably. >> Why you laughing? Oh my god, it's so embarrassing. Sorry. >> See you next week. >> As soon as they entered the loss prevention office, the officers got straight to the point, leaving the suspects shocked that the police already knew every item they had taken. the stuff in the bag. She had the phone the girl and the gray shirt in her bag. She has a phone case which is this one. >> No, it's the other one. >> Which other one is? >> Oh, I ain't taking I don't care. >> That one is my phone. It's the purple one. >> Wait, y'all going through my stuff? What the heck? >> Just let him. Oh, air pressure >> and then the phone case. I'll I'll see where you have to do like every now and my think I'm lying about getting arrested. >> Will you talk to him? >> All three of you. Um they're still doing their investigation. See whether or not they want to prosecute. Okay. >> All right. >> Um I'm offender with Wind Police Department. I'm going to read you your rights. Okay. >> Wait, wait, wait. Time. That's my >> That mean we're going to jail if you're reading the rights. >> Not sure yet. We haven't got to that. >> Oh, wait. Cash. Wait. We can't see our phones or anything. >> Yes. He took my apple out. >> Just hold on a second. >> I'm required to warn you before you make any statement. >> There were no signs of remorse or shame for their actions. Perhaps it was their first time committing such acts as they responded with naive questions when asked. >> But what does that mean? Like as in what? Like >> given that you guys were just read your rights, do you understand your rights to you? >> Yeah. Okay. >> That being said, do you want to talk to us? >> Fine. >> Well, you have to answer if you want. You don't have to. Okay, that's what I mean. I mean, yeah, that's okay. >> Did you guys take anything that didn't belong to you? >> If it's that serious, we'll buy it. >> If it's that [ __ ] we'll pay for it if they want us to do that. >> But I I get what you're saying. Like, so it's not a question of is it that serious? It's theft. >> Okay. Doesn't belong to you. You can't take things that don't belong to you. Retail theft is still retail theft. >> It's not a question of, "Oh, it's just this. It's that." That's not yours. >> Yeah. >> Right. But it's not your right to take it. >> It's a crime. >> You can be taken to jail for that. Are you an adult? Are you 18? >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, you can go to county jail for gorilla glue. >> Like, is it really worth it? >> Right. You guys got to make smarter decisions. You see these cameras? These are like 4K, 8K, 12K, whatever they're up to now. >> They can literally track every single movement and zoom in onto your nose ring, >> right? And that's what that guy does all day, every day. He tracks people that look suspicious. Okay? >> And take This is job. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? So is going to search all of you. Honesty goes a long way. When she searches you, is there going to be anything on your person that doesn't belong to you? >> A lesson in ethics in the law took place. And it seemed to have been absorbed as they went on to admit that they still had additional items on their person. >> Oh, wait. I Yeah, hold on. I still got Aquafer in my purse. >> You still got what? >> Aquafer in my purse. >> What is that? >> Oh, the Vaseline. Vaseline. >> Oh, wait. No, no. I No, I do. I have a shirt in my brace.

I had to go to the bathroom really bad. >> This is you. >> Yeah. >> Excuse me. >> Yeah. All right, stand by. I'll I can take you in a minute. Okay, just give me a second. >> In reality, even after discussing the crimes they had committed, they still showed no real concern, remaining indifferent even to the potential impact on their future. >> He's getting it right now. >> But you guys are going to prosecute 25. >> Yeah. What that mean? >> Go to jail. Go to jail. >> That's what that mean. >> That's what they say. >> Hey, let me finish. >> Okay. So, if you guys haven't been charged with retail theft in the past and you have a address here in the county, >> Yeah. >> we're probably going to give you what's called a notice to appear. So, you're going to have a court date. All right. >> Okay. >> So, chances are you're not going to jail, though. We still got to look into that. >> All right. That's fine. >> How old are you? >> 18. >> 18. >> Mhm. >> $3510. >> 35 and 10 cents. >> Damn. Dang.

Yeah. >> The cops aren't made to be comfortable. >> The police made their decisions regarding the girl's actions, including contacting their family members. Yet the girls reactions were utterly disappointing. >> Guys are under arrest, but like I said, you're most likely getting MTAs, which is important, >> which means you're not going to county jail tonight unless we find reason to take you to county jail. >> Oh, okay. >> So, we're going in the car. >> No, I'm going to try officer. >> You going to have to call her on my phone cuz she has the thing where random numbers can't call her. It's not going to go through. >> All right. This is office offender with the Voy Beach Police Department. I want to let you know that your daughter has been placed under arrest for retail theft. She stole items that did not belong to her. With with that being said, I need you to come to the Walmart so you we can release her to you. >> Are you married, single, divorced? >> I know I'm going change over the summer.

I don't know where the house probably. >> Finally, these ladies were charged with petty theft and released with notices to appear in court since this was their first offense. Trying to hide or downplay wrongdoing only worsens the situation. While honesty and cooperation with authorities can significantly reduce the fallout. Next, the focus shifts to confronting not just one, but three professional shoplifterss. Me? >> Yep. For what? >> Both of you. Come here. >> Me? >> Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Turn around. Turn around. >> On November 11th, 2024, police received a report of an ongoing theft at a major shopping mall involving three women who quickly split up afterward.

We got a moment. >> I will not do anything. >> Although there was some initial resistance, all were quickly taken into custody.

Uh, >> I'm not sure. No, >> you you're not sure why we're making contact with you. Okay. >> Booster bag. >> That's the bag. Oh, a booster bag, too.

No, I No, they won't pay for it. >> You said they were not paid for. >> I was sleep. It's not It's not my bag. >> Okay. Um, what is this right here? Cuz I'm not I'm not too What is this?

An attempt to manipulate sympathy and shift the narrative. >> Handle those situations that you were talking about earlier. >> Um, definitely you got to ask for >> ma'am. I understand that. And uh if if if I was uh if I didn't understand what you were saying, I wouldn't tell you this because uh me and my wife went through the same thing you going through now.

One of them oval and one round. I didn't know what you were mean. I thought you were trying to say like cuz they sell that are uh the bars like vanny bar. That's why I was like, "No, I ain't got no bars." >> What do they do that? You know, >> but when they run out of one >> uh Let me calm down. >> Yeah. No, no one's rushing. >> Yeah. When they run out of one, they're the same uh you said. >> At this point, the remaining woman was unaware that the theft had been exposed. She offered her own version of the story, attempting to clear herself, but appeared extremely tense and anxious. >> Whose kids are they? >> That's Nicole granddaughter, and that's Shondaanda, the nieces and nephew. What exactly happened that led to us be here with >> I don't know like I had to use the bathroom right so I left back out I had some clothes I left like in the front of the store and I'm like okay when I get back we left out came back in I said y'all I got to pee really really bad have a bad bladder >> okay hold on slow down cuz remember we were not here when you said school probably >> oh Nike I I came here I don't have a card I say I want to go in here and grab a Nike sweat So, in Nike, I think I'm going to grab a Nike sweat, too. Then she say, "Well, okay, hurry up." When she rushed me, >> who rushed you? >> Um, one of them they was like, "Hurry up." Whatever. One of them was like, "Hurry up." So, I put the Nike sweatshirt down in the front like kind of when you walk out, it's a gray Nike sweatshirt. >> I put that down and I >> Why Why would they try to be Why would they try to leave in a rush? >> I don't know. Like, I don't know. I I need a rush. >> Well, I don't know either. That's why I'm asking you. >> Yeah. I don't She was like, "Hurry up." And I was like, "Okay, I'll just put it down." Then I said, "Well, can y'all drive me to Victoria's Secret so I can grab me and my daughter some stuff and I'll feed the kids. I'll buy the kids." >> Okay. Drive you. Okay. So, when you said drive, there's a vehicle involved. Who does this vehicle belong to? >> Uh, Shondaanda. >> Sh. Okay. Okay. Okay. Is that the one with the black and yellow sweatpants? No. The other >> one with the tights. >> Okay. So, that's her car. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, you tell me, "Okay, drive me down to Victoria Secret and whatnot." Okay. And then what happened after that? >> As we was as we was leaving out, then that's when the officer uh put the handcuffs. >> In the end, they were charged with retail theft and grand theft. This case highlights how attempting to manipulate sympathy or concoct a story when caught only worsens the situation. Being honest and cooperative from the start is always the safer choice. Next. What happened when thieves treated stolen property as if it truly belonged to them? >> Yes, you are. Can I see that Illinois? Right. >> That's against the law. You It's unlawfully detaining me because um I didn't take the book. >> On September 5th, 2025, police received a report from a University of Illinois student that her backpack containing cash, a passport, and a laptop had been stolen. Tracking the device, officers confronted the suspect who appeared visibly panicked. >> Hello. How are you? >> I'm all right. How are you? >> I'm good. Is this your laptop here? >> No. Yesterday I got I got it from a friend. >> Okay. >> Said they let me use it. >> Okay. Do you have a driver's license or state ID on you? >> I usually do. >> Did I see that? >> Um, yes. >> You can just leave all that stuff on the table. >> Going to the bathroom. >> Oh, okay. Well, you're not going to go anywhere for a minute here. I need to see your driver's license. >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> I mean, is there a problem? I'm going to get it. I'm just like, >> you just leave that out. Leave everything on the table. It's okay. >> Well, I was already leaving anyway, so >> Well, you're going to stay here for now. Okay. >> Why? Okay. I just want to know what's going on. >> I'll pay you a second. >> I'm sorry. Can I see the little hand? >> Yes, you are. >> The woman clearly showed anxiety and deliberately stalled while handing over her ID. This only proved she had something to hide, further confirming that her actions at that moment were far from innocent. >> I see that. >> Please. >> Don't do that. >> I'm not me. >> Stop. Stop. I got anxiety. and try to understanding me. >> Wait, >> I've got more. >> Okay, stop. I just need to know what's going on and why you're doing that. >> For what? I didn't do nothing. >> I didn't do nothing. >> I did. I want my lawyer. I did not DO NOTHING. I DID not do nothing. >> Stop. >> Okay, let go. I didn't do nothing wrong. >> And that's who I am. Let go of me. Let go of me, please. Okay, let go then. You're hurting me. >> Let me Okay, let go of me then. >> Just get her here. I'm about to >> I'm going to SIT DOWN RIGHT THERE. YOU'RE HURTING ME. I'm not even You're doing it. Please stop. She >> stop. Stop. >> Why are you scared? >> She did not try to flee without reason. That very action sent her into a state of panic, forcing officers to step in and calm her down. >> But we just need you to try to, you know, take those deep breaths so that, you know, you can try to deescalate yourself. >> Are you on a unit here for transport? >> Are you guys going to do it? I can't do it. Not the dog. >> If if we can't let someone come here. >> I'm the commander. I just want to make sure you guys don't need anything. >> Okay. No, I think we're okay. We were just going to try to take her into custody and you know, she started fighting and so on. >> Okay. I'm just going to try to remove everything here from you for from her. If you guys want to wipe this up after I leave, just make sure there's no drugs, anything that would be legal in here. Okay. I would do a really good cleaning of this space. >> Gotcha. Well, that didn't go easy, did it? >> No. Did you come out here to Panera for a search and a transport? I can't transport. >> You have evidence bags in your car. >> My car is parked up here. Just bring my car around here in the back. The dog won't he'll hurt you. >> So, we're going to have a female officer come here and search you. Okay. Before she gets here, listen. Before she gets here, do you have anything on you that's going to poke her or stick her? Do you have any needles on you? My money's in there for my lawyer. I >> I'm not asking you questions about what you're being arrested for. I'm asking if you have a needle. >> I'm not being arrested for either. It's just that I have my money and therefore my lawyer. >> The woman avoided questions about the needle just as she had dodged handing over her ID. She showed no intention of cooperating and even appeared anxious that police would take her belongings. I >> I've been asking you for our safety if you have a needle on you. That's all I'm asking. It's This has nothing to do with the case. This is a general officer safety question. Do you have a needle on you or any needles in your purse or on you? That's all I'm asking. >> I don't know. I'm supposed to be able to see what you guys are doing, right? So, I'm not watching you guys. >> We're not going to take your things. >> I know you guys Hello. >> Do what? Ma'am, they know more about They know more about the case than I do, and you'll have to ask them. >> I I was speaking with her about the needles, and she won't answer any of my questions. >> Okay. >> So, my guess is she might have something on here. >> Yeah. Watch her >> swirly >> because it's bony and it's cut handcuffs. >> And anyways, but she she has >> dumb because I can't run with handcuffs on. >> Well, people can run with handcuffs on happened before. >> Yeah, >> she doesn't know. >> How am I going to jail? And I didn't steal anything. >> Well, the what you were in possession of was stolen property. So, >> I found it on the net. >> That's not what you just told me before I talked to you. No, you charge the laptop and that doesn't >> Well, I listen. >> Do you have trouble with me stealing it? I mean, I don't understand. >> How about this? Since you're in custody right now, I'm going to read you this. Okay. >> Sit down. Sit. >> Sit down. >> Sit down. >> Steal everything. >> Sit down. >> All right. I'm I'm just let I'm just letting you know that I've asked her about needles and she won't answer the question. So, just be prepared. >> Because you're not going to get out of this. >> Her behavior was completely erratic. She could not remain still to assert her innocence and even made repeated claims that her rights were being violated. >> Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to a lawyer and to have a lawyer present while you're being questioned. If you're unable to pay for a lawyer, one will be appointed for free. Do you understand your rights? >> Nope. >> But I have my money for a lawyer. I go pay my >> Okay. Do you wish to talk to me without a lawyer? >> No. My lawyer. >> You want your lawyer? Okay. No problem. >> Keep me out of jail. >> No, you're going to jail. >> Yeah. I didn't see any of those. I could have put anything in there. >> I have these. That's fine. >> Thank you. I'm sorry. >> We're good. [ __ ] >> 101 from 131. We're going to be on the northeast side opener. >> I'm not going to find my way to do it. Like always think I can do. >> Well, because I'm tired of it. It's not fair. >> Well, can you please sit down? Like I I don't understand. Like >> you don't understand >> why you're why you're being uncooperative. >> Because I'm tired of the police. That's why. Second of all, because I have that you got to keep me in charge of things that I didn't do. The cop found the book that I does not mean that I took it. Just possessing something doesn't mean that I took it. And I think I'm guilty and I mean the proof and he saved me this and whatever. The laptop. Yeah. I said I got to my friend. It's against I write something. That's against the law. That's unlawfully detaining me cuz um I didn't take a look at it. Unless you guys have somebody that has seen it or described me, then you can't arrest me. That's unlawful. My lawyers just enough money to get my lawyer and my lawyer's got any lawyer's numbers in there. At this point, officers tried to refocus on the theft itself, but true to form, the woman continued to dodge the issue, offering evasion she could no longer justify. I'm telling you, regardless of the situation, you are in possession of a stolen laptop and you're using it. Okay, that's that's that's a big deal. Okay, >> I mean I gave it you detaining me. I didn't see me do it cuz I didn't take it. So, >> ma'am, I just told you. >> I understand. I just told you that you're in possession of a stolen laptop. >> Not I know it was stolen. It was clearly unlocked for me to use. That don't make any sense. >> Okay. Well, >> you think I was the line all the time? How do I know it was taken? >> Take her over there. >> Yeah. >> Let's go over here, man. Come on. Come on. Please. >> We're not going to throw you around. We've not We haven't done that. >> Just cooperate with us. Come on. Well, I mean, listen. >> We'll get you over here by this quad car. Okay, come on. >> Damian, this squad. >> You've done good so far once we got out here. Come on. >> Just listen. >> Just don't don't. There's no need. All right. >> That's fine. >> Go ahead, search. Do you have anything that could stick >> stick me hurt me? Anything on you at all that can hurt me? >> Okay. Thanks for being on this. What I'm going to do is take your coat off just because for the protection of you and from me. Okay. Got it. I'm going to take your coat off. >> What pocket? >> It's in this which pocket my armpit. >> It's in here. What is it? >> Yeah. What is it? >> It's a needle. Is that all you got? >> Just one needle. >> Okay. >> What's that? >> Okay. So, what I'm going to do is just take this stuff out and set it here with this officer. Okay. In the end, the woman was charged with theft, resisting arrest, possession of methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia, refusing to cooperate, evading questions, and resisting officers only turned a manageable situation into serious felony charges. More critically, invoking her civil rights was the only pretext she had left. >> I know my rights. You're detaining me, and it hurts me, and there's no reason in you for you to be that aggressive. I need you. >> On May 26th, 2023, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a completed retail theft with a woman suspected of skip scanning at the selfch checkckout. As officers moved in to make contact, the situation immediately escalated into tension. My name's Police Department. You go ahead and find a bad one under arrest. explanation. >> No, you need to tell me what I'm going to >> stop. Just loosen your hands up. >> What am I doing? >> No, I've been out. That's what I'm No, I'm literally checking out >> this whole time buying stuff. I have money. Is that the issue? >> Do you want me to show you my dad? But where's she at? >> My damn phone. >> Is this their buggy as well? >> Is yours? >> Yeah. I got another buggy to put the stuff in. >> We're go ahead and we're going to walk to the office over here and we're >> Okay, but can you stop being so tight? You're embarrassing me. You're doing extremely under my >> Okay, but I I'm going to give you the most highest respect just like you're giving me respect and we're going to walk you off. >> Although she claimed she would remain respectful and cooperative, her actions told a very different story as she made the escort anything but easy. >> How you doing people? It's going to be okay. Best believe this is that stop. Excuse me. I promise you you about to go to the ground. >> No, you're about to get in trouble and lose your thing. I know my rights. >> You're detaining me and it hurts me >> and there's no reason to you for you to be that aggressive. I'm sorry if you have problems at home, but I ain't it. I'm sorry. >> Huh? And I'm getting arrested when I have $600 in my account. That's what blows my mind. >> You guys don't understand. I know my rights. And first off, I'm not even finished checking out at your register. That's the sad part. >> Hang on. >> I would like to guess what you guys are doing. It's I want to call the commission. I would like No, I'm really I'm going to call the city commissioner cuz what you're doing right now is completely illegal. I have not >> I need you to answer having these rights in mind. >> Having these rights in mind, you talk to me now. The woman loudly asserted her civil rights, portraying herself as a victim of the police while doing nothing to help resolve the situation. >> I'm not talking about that. >> Am I going to jail first? >> You can give me your name? >> No. >> You're not giving me your name? >> No, I refuse. >> So, you're going to catch a resisting charge on topic? >> You are resisting my rights. This is my right. >> So, you're detained under investigation. So, you have every right. You're required by law to give your name and IDENTIFY YOURSELF. >> OKAY. AND YOU GUYS ARE REQUIRED by law to not sit there and put me in handcuffs, but not tell me if I'm under arrested for anything. You can't just put me in handcuffs multiple times. You're not being arrested. You're being detained until >> Okay, I'm being detained. That's all you said. But you didn't tell me why. >> And it was for shoplifting. >> It was with force at that shoplifting. Okay. Now, let's look at the definition of shoplifting. If you leave the store, does that mean shoplifting? Cuz don't you have to leave Walmart for it to be shopping? >> I have a very big issue. I want to call the city commissioner. Jeremy Melo is my go. It's all good. You guys are screwed. It don't matter. I promise you. You're the wrong person. It would be different if you guys saw me out in the parking lot all this stuff. You literally see I'm checking out. You got a smile on your face like all that, but I'm literally just checking out. That is crazy. >> Her complaints showed no sign of stopping. She insisted everything was being blown out of proportion. Yet, it was her own behavior that kept pushing the situation further against her. >> You see me digging through all the stuff that I >> Bro, bro, chill, bro. You all up on my head, bro. Chill. >> You are the reason. You got You got to be bored all day following people around thinking, "Oh, they stealing something. >> You got you got to do it with the little racial Mexican." So, you sit on it and rotate. I don't care. >> I don't owe you nothing. Get a better job. >> Okay. At this point, you are under arrest. >> How? >> Shoplifting. >> I never shoplift. >> They're not going to talk about it. >> No. Yes. Prove to me how I >> shoplift. You shoplifting. >> Where does he show up shop? >> You skip scan. Come on. >> How did I skip scan? Show me. You did not show me taking stuff. You are under You're accusing me of something I didn't do and I got money. That is not fair. That's not fair. I didn't even take nothing. >> Okay, listen. At this point, you are under arrest. You >> am under arrest. >> You're under arrest for retail theft. Okay. >> I DIDN'T TAKE NOTHING. You cannot arrest me. I refuse. You need to call your boss. Call your Yes. Call your supervisor. >> To the car. >> You're going to call your supervis. How are you going to tell me you can't arrest me when I didn't do nothing? >> That is not okay. I didn't steal. You see me ringing this up. Show me one thing that I didn't ring up. >> You guys are really unaw. >> Take me out of here cuz now I will let bankrupt know. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to do this. >> What did you see me taking? What did you see me taking? What did you see me taking? What did I say? >> No. Follow me. I need you. I just want to steal. Let's go. You guys are hurting me. It's okay. >> If you will stop, you won't stop brutality. No, you're wrong. You didn't even steal. Let go. >> Even to this point, the woman continued to deny her actions, left without any valid excuse and resorting only to baseless accusations against the police. No, you have no right to search me. No probable cause. >> YOU ARE BEING SEARCHED. >> NO, I'M not going to jail because I didn't do anything. >> Listen to me. >> Where did I steal? Where did you see me steal it? >> Where? >> I don't know where you got the idea that this is ON YOUR TERMS, BUT IT'S ON MY terms cuz you're you're misusing your rights. You're misusing your privileges when I didn't take nothing. It'd be different if I checked something, but I didn't. And I didn't even finish getting checked out. I swear you started me so much trouble for doing this. Is not okay. You guys just treated somebody like that. You guys are looking You're looking for a reason to keep me in jail. That's it. That's horrible. That is so horrible. My wallet, my money, >> my lighter, my makeup. Even inside the patrol car, any sense of calm seemed non-existent. She panicked and continued screaming, clearly needing to be restrained and calm down. >> See, this is exactly what they do to people. >> I'm getting arrested for no reason. >> Take a deep breath. >> No, don't tell me to take a deep breath. I didn't do nothing. I can't do this. I worked too hard to get out my job, dude. I worked too hard for this. And now I finally have money to go to Walmart and do something and buy something nice for myself. And I can't even do that. And this [ __ ] is going to sit there and try to sell drugs. Like that's going to be the reason why they said that's why. I've already seen this happen to my boyfriend. But the sad part was he was actually stealing and I wasn't with him. They will use whatever they can to actually arrest you guys cuz you know holding for you guys to stand in court and just say she was shoplifting while not leaving the store. You can't sit there and say I'm being arrested for possession charges because you didn't arrest me for that. I didn't even have that. That's what I'm saying. >> Listen, the yelling ain't doing nothing. If you want, you can fight it in court. That's fine. >> This is so wrong. This is injustice. What is not wrong? >> What's wrong with you committing and breaking the law? >> But where did I break the law at? You watch the same video I watched. Where did you see me take something? >> Finally, the woman was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft, and resisting arrest without violence. When denial and aggression replace accountability, the situation only escalates. Calm cooperation from the start is often the difference between a warning and serious legal consequences. Next, this man did not even have an excuse for his actions. >> Hey, man. Why y'all y'all y'all Why are y'all arresting me? Man, >> I didn't say you're arrested yet. You're being detained because you're being so fidgety and you're extremely nervous. >> Let me sit down then. On November 1st, 2025, police responded to a report from an Audi dealership about a man attempting to purchase a vehicle using questionable identification. Upon arrival, officers met with an employee to gather details of the incident. >> Customers in the showroom. I have a finance manager with him. Now, he is he probably can't see me because he's in that office right there, but I don't know if it's blocking, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong. >> Okay. >> 100%. Yeah, this isn't >> this is not legit. >> Yeah, just let it happen here. >> So, what do you recommend that we do? Finance manager saying let him go and I'm like >> I don't know. >> Right. But has he purchased or done any transactions yet? >> He's trying to and he failed that and he's trying to sign. >> Well, I think at the very least we have enough to at least arrest him for possession of a false ID. >> Okay. Okay. >> Because our dispatch already confirmed that although that driver's license and name came back, it came back to a white male. >> Yeah. >> So that's what >> his picture is just on it with a on a fake car. >> I've unfortunately been through this before. >> Yeah. It's it's like the same concept as someone using their a false ID to go to a bar, >> right? >> That you can't use it or possess it for any reason to do anything. >> Right. >> So >> So what do you suggest we do? >> That's up to you. >> We just walk in or do we walk him out and we grab him? >> We can just walk in. I mean, if he wants to run, >> I mean, >> he's going to have a bad day. >> The police operated discreetly outside to avoid drawing attention to their presence. A strategy that worked perfectly when the suspect instinctively tried to avoid them the moment he spotted the officers. >> Hello. >> How you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> All right. >> What's your name? >> What's my name? Yeah. >> Okay. All right. You want to take a seat? We We have a few questions for you. >> All right. So, the reason we're here, >> okay, >> and just first things first, relax. We're not here to get you in any trouble, but >> there's some there's either a misunderstanding or something something's going on right now. Okay. >> Okay. They had called us because you're trying to make a purchase of the vehicle obviously of some sort, making a transaction. Um, the ID you provided them appears to be fake. >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Um, do you have any other form of of identity >> with your name, date of birth, social security on it? >> I got nothing but a credit card. >> Okay. What's can does a credit card have a name on it? >> Yeah, same name. same name. >> Beyond his bank card, officers also obtained his driver's license, a document that immediately raised red flags. At that moment, the suspect's growing nervousness became impossible to hide. >> When did you get that issue to you? >> When did you get that driver's license? Cuz you you sometimes you renew your driver's license for any >> I had for about 5 years down here. >> You know what I'm saying? >> When you say down here, are you from somewhere else? I'm just I'm just I'm out of out of Tampa. >> Okay. You've always lived in Florida. >> Yes. >> Okay. You're not from out of state of any? >> No, sir. >> But um >> All right. >> I got to just just try to do get it right. >> You know what I'm saying? I ain't I ain't purchasing nothing. I ain't took nothing from nobody. Okay. >> Can I do that? >> What's that? >> I got to You know what I'm saying? go get my my license right. >> You know what I'm saying? So I accept go get my license right. Bring back. >> Have they told you that there's some issues with your license while you're doing this whole transaction? >> No, they I just gave it to them. >> Okay. >> You know what I'm saying? I ain't got no problem, man. All right. >> So, >> so >> I just want to figure out what the discrepancy and what and like how you >> Well, you know, I just have to correct what she what she said was supposed to been a a fault ID ID. I don't that, bro. >> Do you remember when that was issued to you? >> I I told you I had them about four or five years. You know what I'm saying? I've been losing them sometime. You know what I'm saying? You know. >> So, you live in Tampa currently? Tampa. >> Yeah. What's your Okay. And you came down to Stewart to purchase a car. >> After repeatedly dodging the accusations, the man realized he had no other option. Yet, he remained outwardly calm, continuing to devise a way to walk away from the situation. >> So, I I ain't I ain't took nothing. No, bro. >> Relax. I understand that. >> So, can I leave? >> No, you cannot. No, you cannot. Okay. Um, >> what's the problem? We're going to have to do a little bit more interviewing. Okay. So, you're not free to leave. >> What? You really? >> Yes. >> What up? >> You got married, aren't you? >> Yeah. >> All you got to do is take me identification. You know what I'm saying? >> But listen, since I told you you're not free to leave your rights, okay? >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be against you in court. You have the right to have an attorney with you prior to or during or after any questioning. Let me finish. >> But but let me let me let me ask you let me ask you out something. >> You're getting a little too fidgety for me. >> Okay. No, no, I'm I'm good, man. I'm good. I'm good. >> Stop. >> I'm good, man. >> Why can't I get your stuff? Well, >> okay. I need your wallet. We're going to finish this out in the car. Okay. I don't want to disturb their business. You have anything that'll stick me poke me? real. >> Hey, don't do that. >> Hey, man. What? Y'all y'all y'all Why are y'all arresting me, man? >> I didn't say you're arrested yet. You're being detained. >> His attempt to walk away only confirmed an effort to flee responsibility. At that point, officers conducted a pat down and moved to determine his true identity. >> All right. So, you are under arrest. So, there's no going back at this point. So, you just so you are clear. Yep. Make sure you don't pack. So, you going to give us your real name, birthday? >> Well, I don't that's not my birthday. My birthday. You don't give us a real name and date of birth. That's another car. You already have two. >> I don't I don't know what this is. Let go, man. Let go, bro. >> You're just going to make it more difficult for you. >> No, no, no. I ain't doing coffee. >> What's your first name? >> Well, you need to give us a name. >> Okay. >> Y'all got ID, bro. >> What's your real name? >> Joseph. Joseph. >> Joseph. What? >> You don't have a name. You don't have a bond, so you're going to sit your ass in jail. So, give us a name and date of birth. It's that simple. >> You got the name? You got You got the identification, bro. >> Really want to make more. >> The suspect still showed no sign of admitting wrongdoing. Returning to the dealership, officers explained their decision and actions to the employees. So, um, so he is going to jail for the possession of a fake ID, uh, use of a fake ID and possession of drunk weaponry. >> Okay. >> Um, that he had in his pockets. So, oh, and I'm also charging him with the, um, false name to law enforcement. He's still not giving us his name, his real name. >> Did Did there a cashier check? >> It was, but that was the same had the same name on it as what was on the ID. >> Was it fake? >> Is the cashier's check fake? I >> I have no idea. We have no way to tell until PNC opens and PNC like that takes subpoenas. That takes like getting the courts involved and judges >> have those documents or do we have those documents? >> Um I don't know. I know she gave us the check to look at it but I don't know if we held it when we walked out cuz when he started getting a little squirly so we just hooked him up. >> So what do we do with that stuff? Just like box it up and put it away in case. >> Um I would take it as evidence. Are you guys wanting to pursue charges if Well, >> that's not why. >> And no, wouldn't it wouldn't be right. Exactly. Right. Will >> you be contacting him or >> At the police station, officers contacted the person whose information appeared on the fake ID. As expected, the call reached an entirely different individual, and it seemed that the victim was facing a series of shocking revelations. Hi, Joseph. This is Corporal Amy Duran from the Stewart Police Department. How are you? >> From what police department? >> The Stewart Police Department. >> Uhhuh. >> We're on the We're in the East Coast. Um, so this is kind of wild. Um, but uh, we have an Audi dealership in our jurisdiction and they called us because somebody went over there to try and buy a vehicle at the Audi dealership and the driver's license that they provided, the DL number on it actually comes back to you. >> Jesus. and you are not um the same ethnicity and probably not anywhere near the same age as the person who was actually at the Audi dealership. >> They're both the same age. >> Okay. >> Oh, they are both the same age. >> You should be about 65. >> Oh, okay. I didn't even know that. So, um we wanted to let you know that that somebody has created a driver's license using your driver's license number. >> Okay. Yeah, it's like the third time in like two weeks, two or three weeks that there's been some type of a problem thing going on with my IDs. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. Um um I just got contacted by a credit card company. There's been a lot of lenders that have been been inquiring about me taking out a loan >> and um that I've never taken out, never even contacted. and something with Verizon Wireless, too. They had my my name and passwords and all that. So, >> okay. >> He was charged with the criminal use of another person's personal information, possession of a fictitious driver's license, providing false information to law enforcement, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Trying to lie, evade responsibility, or hide behind false documents only deepens the consequences. Cooperation and honesty from the start are often the only ways to prevent a situation from escalating into serious felony charges. What do you think about cases like this?

Next, this grandmother shocked the officers with what she had on her. >> Don't conceal anything. I just don't >> What do you call that in the bag? >> Well, you have a felony probation violation warrant. On February 25th, 2023, police received a call from Walmart about a 41-year-old woman suspected of shoplifting. When officers arrived, the situation turned darker. Her young family members were wandering around unattended. >> I think she's concealing right now. >> Okay. >> What aisle she >> She's over in the stationary. Is that you? >> No. Yep. >> Wow. Uh, looks like we're heading to your side of the store. >> Hi, sweetheart. Are you having fun? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Hey, can I have you? >> Unfortunately, I don't have my car with me. I drove with the other guy. >> Next time though, if we see you next time, we'll get you a sticker. Okay. How you doing? >> Let's uh put your hands right here. >> Why? >> Look, listen to me. Listen to me. >> Why? What? >> Hush and listen to me. >> We have two officers on each door. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Quit pulling away from me before I take you down. >> Why? I wasn't stealing anything. >> Well, we're not. You have a warrant. How about that? >> No, I don't have a conceal. >> You have a warrant. How about that? >> No, I don't. I wasn't concealing anything. Yeah, this >> clearly. The officers explained she was being arrested for other reasons. Yet, she kept insisting she hadn't hidden anything. Her denial came off completely absurd, as if she was startled by her own guilt. >> I was stealing anything cuz I didn't steal anything. >> Well, we'll deal with that in a second. >> Oops. Quit moving. >> Sorry. I'm sorry. He dropped the door. >> 21 26. >> We're going to ban her since she has a history. >> We'll do that in a second. >> You do? warrant. >> Yep. Felony probation warrant. >> Don't have nothing to do with that. Don't know anything about that. >> That's just on the computer. >> And the sheriff's confirmed. >> Well, we haven't confirmed it yet. We just see it. We'll have to confirm it. >> Oh, okay. >> So, you got to confirm it. >> We do. >> Okay. All day all day. So ended in November then >> and they can confirm it then. >> We we'll go from there. >> At this point while taking her to the loss prevention room, the officers searched the woman's bag and what they found next shocked them. >> I might be my son. I'm not sure. >> Who's your son? >> Tyrese >> or my daughter? to be with my daughter. >> It's my daughter. Oh, you got my pops ID. That's my daddy. >> Why do you have his ID in your purse? >> Um, I just I don't know. I keep it. >> This keeps everybody. My grandkids. My kids are here somewhere. >> Oh yeah, that's fine. >> Who you here with? >> Um my my kids are somewhere around here. My nieces are here and my grandkids. They're somewhere around here. >> Oh, there's some in there. >> So, you might find some. >> I mean, it's all burn. >> Might find some in there. >> So, we are uh >> going to play tomorrow. >> Oh, that's why we couldn't find a test spot. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a PD. >> PD. We're going to go and drop. >> Yeah. There's >> back in there. I'm just waiting on a um test kit from Hegy. >> Might have >> I don't know if it's enough to test. >> You want to grab a test kit? >> Uh Higgy's going to look and see if he has one. >> Okay. >> I haven't car. >> We're going to fleet. >> Hey, do you know if uh >> you know if this one will be found she's found >> 21 central. Go ahead and run a criminal history. Okay. So, >> there. Yay. >> Know what we think it is. Test. >> She said she doesn't. >> Apparently, you got more warrants coming, too. Apparently, you ran from officers at Dollar Tree last week or you ran ran from the shop looking at Dollar Tree or they got you on camera. >> No, >> I'm just telling you what Detective Franco says. >> A dollar tree. >> That's what it says. >> I said Dollar Tree. >> Once again, not my monkey, not my circus. That's where the Dollar Tree. >> Okay, >> it's a store in here. >> Not me. You want to >> additionally, as the officers had explained during her detention, the woman actually had an active warrant on her record. Let's see how she reacted when she heard this. >> Apparently, you got more warrants coming, too. Apparently, you ran from officers at Dollar Tree last week or you ran ran from a shop looking at Dollar Tree or they got you on camera. >> No, >> I'm just telling you what Detective Franco says >> at Dollar Tree. That's >> what it says. >> Dollar Tree. >> Once again, not my monkey, not my circus. >> That's where the Dollar Tree. >> Okay, >> that's a store in here. Not me. >> How much you want to? >> You have a knife. Grab a knife. We can chop chop. >> A couple little. >> You know what? I don't know. I think that was like a good knife. >> Is there like a little piece? >> There's a tiny little blue piece right there. >> Tiny piece >> in that little corner. >> No, that was a big piece. >> That's a big piece. And then there's a little piece right there. >> Who's your uh granddaughter or niece's name that we need to page and have come get the stuff? >> Um Michaela, what? Oh, it's good. I'm going to turn out >> keep popping. >> That is bright blue. >> And last but not >> Oh, yeah. There we go. >> There is no denying that. >> That's his bag. >> My drug test kit. Really? Thank you so much. >> This woman radiated guilt from every action. Yet, she showed no shame at all. >> Or perhaps she thought it was so normal that she couldn't even remember today's theft. >> Yeah, it's all fun. >> Okay, he can just put clothes. >> We're not arguing with you. >> I brought in. >> Okay, stop talking. You're done. >> I can talk. Where's the stuff I brought in with me? >> She didn't bring anything on. I've been watching you. I've been watching you conceal. >> She watched me come in with stuff, too. Yeah. Okay. She said she didn't say that. >> Look, >> like I said, we're done talking. >> You see that? You got more problems than worrying about me. >> We're done. We're not doing >> Stop wearing shirts like that, too. It gives them a bad name. >> There you go. >> They're saying you didn't. >> Look at the cameras, though. They said you didn't. I don't care what you say. She's lying. >> We're done. Okay. We're gonna go over the jail. >> Stuff I came in with. >> Stuff that I've already bought that I was gonna return. >> Most people return stuff when they first come into the store. >> So, let's do this. See? Let's go ahead. Y'all squirt her out. >> Hey, y'all want have y'all f out the barn form? >> You going out the barn form? >> Uh, Beth, can you do a barring on her since she's the history? >> I came in the running. I was a longgo. I'm like 40 now. I ran in my 20s. I turned myself in the last and did it myself. >> Even the illegal substances the officers found in her bag were completely erased from her memory as she spun a full story to justify herself. >> No, I'm a drug addict. Wow. >> I'm sure each one of y'all's family members have came across someone addicted to drugs. >> My brother died from drugs. Yeah, I got >> computer and you just have a like mine's actually damaged like crap like that. I >> think they were watching since I got here. I can't >> I got I plan on getting the RV break nerds. >> They made no nerd culture cool and we just dove in. >> Do what you loosen this one. >> Turn around for me. You say what's >> Well, get get two fingers up under. Yeah, they're in my center of my car. They're they're both as equal as they can be. >> Before you go, she's got to explain this to you. Okay. >> So, for a period of 2 years, you're marked from our property at 4375 Lexington Road. That's anything up from the old Hardies all the way over to the new factory. >> Okay. >> He's related to a Scott star. >> Scott star. Yeah. My last name. >> I mean, my mystical. Oh, it's got Oh, wow. Well, I have a >> You got a joke. >> I was going to throw that out. >> We got the other. >> Y'all have it on video of her being in here. >> Can you please loosen this? >> It's as it can be. Just two finger spits under. Can't go any lower. >> The woman was arrested and charged with shoplifting and possession of illegal substances with her existing warrants also taken into account. Denying wrongdoing and ignoring the consequences only makes the situation worse. Cooperating and taking responsibility is the only way to protect yourself and avoid more serious trouble. Next case is a prime example of using children as an excuse to justify committing crime. >> You're not free to leave. You're under arrest. >> Both of you. >> You're being detained. >> I'm sorry. >> On April 10th, 2024, officers responded to a local target for a shoplifting call. This footage is of the events that followed. >> You're not free to leave. You're under arrest. >> Both of you. You're being detained. >> What did I do? >> Sir, what did I do? >> On your back, >> sir. What did I do? I didn't do anything, sir. What did I do? >> Quit resisting. >> You're under arrest. Police, you're under arrest. >> You're You're resisting. Behind your back. Sir, >> I'm not resisting. >> I'm sorry. >> So, I advise you are under arrest. Advise. I was the police. >> So, you're also under arrest for resisting arrest. >> Don't twist around on us. We do exactly what we tell you to do. You are under arrest. >> Body cameras are audio and video recording. Do you understand? >> Okay. >> While the suspect kept insisting they hadn't stolen anything, the security report and the surveillance footage shattered every hope of escaping the charges. >> I really haven't done anything, sir. I swear to God, I haven't. >> So, I'm just going to advise you of your rights right now. Okay. Um, >> so like I said, right now you're just being detained for reasonable suspicion of theft. We have probable cause for her to arrest her. Right now we're just in reasonable suspicion for you. >> I don't even know. I don't I mean I don't know cuz I literally was on the phone with my grandma. Everything is recorded meticulously within the entire city of Lynwood. It's not just inside the stores. It's everywhere. We have cameras everywhere watching everything. >> So your entire your entire moves were being watched, recorded, and bookmarked. I mean, you can check the cameras. I haven't done anything. >> The bag? >> No, sir. I haven't considered anything. >> That's why That's why I have him checking. I appreciate you being cool with me, but that's just why I have him checking. >> But that wasn't my bag, sir. >> If you were sticking stuff in it. >> No, sir. I haven't checked. >> That's why I'm having That's why I'm having him check. >> Please. It's just a misunderstanding. I promise. >> That's why I have him checking. >> Says that he saw video footage of self concealment in a beautiful red bag. >> Yep. And that was not my bag though, sir. >> But if you were >> This is the only thing that's my bag. Literally, I swear to God. >> Go check your footage because I I saw her do it. Go check to see if she was involved. >> I wasn't in. >> The woman finally admitted the cart held stolen clothes for her daughter. Yet, she kept blaming her companion, desperately trying to dodge responsibility. >> So, what items did you take and where are they? >> They're in the bags in the bottom of the cart. >> What are the items? Do you remember? Just the um clothes that's in the bag for my daughter. >> Do you have anything else from the store on your person? >> No. >> Okay. Is this your ID >> right there? >> No, that's not mine. Okay. >> The Jessica right here on the side. >> Whose ID is that? >> That's my cousin's. >> The one right there. >> No, no, that's okay. >> I'm sorry. Sorry. >> So, you said it's your ID is in here. >> Yes, it's on the side right there. >> Might be PSP, man. This is so I'm so sorry. >> Thank you. >> My daughter's birthday. I just wanted to give her some stuff. That's it, man. She's sick. >> We're just going to figure it out if he has video of you concealing. >> Okay. >> You were But that basket's not mine, though. You do know that, right? >> The basket she was pushing out. That wasn't that's not my >> I know. But but what I'm saying is if you were sticking stuff inside the bag that was concealing stuff. >> The only thing I did was put stuff in the basket. But that's different. >> And you you've been cool. And if it turns out that you were just sticking stuff inside the basket and that's literally it probably you seen me stick inside the basket was food stuff like promised her. I haven't done like anything in the store. I don't do stuff like that. I don't >> I didn't even know like she was even doing anything like she she took stuff or she what did I mean like I'm totally miss that. >> The case grew even messier when officers found her carrying someone else's ID raising suspicion of identity theft. The rightful owner confirmed it was stolen and demanded prosecution. >> What she told me she's liar. >> Whose ID is that? >> She said Sarah gave it to her. Sarah met her on the bus originally. You said it was your cousin. >> Then you said you were friends. Then you said you hadn't even met the guy. >> So here's the deal. >> That was found on your person, which means you're in possession of it. So if we call and find out that you were >> Wow. And I took it from her. I'm serious. I took it from her because I thought she was messing with the girl. And I was like, who is this? And she was like she met her on the bus. Wow. Oh my god. I don't need this [ __ ] man. I mean, regardless of what the outcome of the ID is, right, from the sounds of it, the other officer told you you were under arrest for resisting as well. >> I wasn't resisting. >> Just shocked me. >> Confronted by police, she was caught red-handed, scanning a few items while hiding unpaid goods in her bag. Her excuse of buying a birthday gift for her daughter held no weight. I >> got her nothing. And I just felt bad. I want to do something nice for my daughter. Just surprise her. That's it. That's just being honest. It was stupid and it was because my daughter would much rather be me at home helping her. >> Hello. >> Hello. This is Sergeant the with the Lynwood Police. I am trying to read. >> Hi, Kyla. So, I just arrested a woman by the name of Sarah on a shoplift outside of Target. She was found to be in possession of your Washington state driver's license. >> Oh, dude. Yeah. >> Uh, yeah. Are you missing your driver's license? >> Uh, yeah. I replaced it a while back. That and some credit cards. >> I see. Okay. Uh, do you know a Jessica E. Wells? >> I do not. >> Does she have permission to have or possess your driver's license? >> Not in any way, shape, or form. >> Okay. Would you be willing to press charges for possession of another's ID? >> Absolutely. >> Excellent. I love to hear it. What's your first name? >> Jessica. >> Jessica. >> During the search, officers uncovered a small amount of crystal meth. The suspect broke down in tears, begging for mercy, but the evidence was undeniable. >> How much How much crystal do you have on you? >> Just a little bit. If it's on me, I don't know for sure if it is. If it is, then it's in this pocket. >> Just a little bit of crystal in that pocket. >> Yes, sir. It's in this pocket. >> How much? Like 20 bucks. Worth. >> 20 bucks. Okay. In the end, she was formally charged with retail theft, possession of another's ID, resisting arrest, and drug possession. Serious offenses that will follow her into court. All for a few stolen clothes, and a desperate excuse, she threw away her freedom and future. A sobering reminder that one reckless choice can destroy everything.

Before we met the next thief, let's witness this queen of chaos. >> Are you going to leave the store like you've been requested? >> No, I didn't request that. >> Sir, wait. What? No. >> Get off me. YOU'RE >> MOM, I CAN'T BREATHE. >> ON September 25th, 2025, officers rushed to Walmart after reports of a woman causing a disturbance over a faulty phone she claimed couldn't be replaced. But when they arrived, the staff revealed the truth. The problem had always come from her side. So, she's claiming the her card. >> Yes, sir. My name is Joseph. She came in here, her phone being frozen on the screen. So, I took the SIM out, put in one of the demo phones to see about send a text from our tablet to see if I can search her in the system. It wasn't recognizing the SIM, so it couldn't send a message. So, I took SIM out and put it back in her phone. I tried power and cycle the phone cuz it's frozen. It wouldn't get past that part. Like it powered down and went back to the same thing. Now she's saying that she had two SIMs, but the thing is the phone only takes one SIM. It has a micro SD slot, but there was no micro SD slot. >> So, are you guys wanting her trespass out of here or do you want me to mediate a conversation with her or he keeps playing, but she keeps getting at this point? We want her pass. Yes. >> Okay. Do you want to come? Can you let her know that? And is he saying, you know, that why will he take it? >> Yeah. Like what's so funny that >> the staff believed she had been affected by something that left her mentally unsettled. And when officers approached her, everything became even clearer. >> We explain the situation, right? To the police. Yeah. >> Good. >> Okay. And uh >> there's there's five scenarios to us. I understand what we we already told you that you know the associate already told you that he hasn't any sim card or anything like that but you don't want to understand that. >> So >> let me lead you lady. >> Okay. So >> may I >> what what are you trying to show me? >> What what is it you're trying to show me? >> Can I speak to you? >> I we can talk right here. I'm not going to go walking all over the store talking to you. I'm I'm asking in private. >> What's What's the issue you're having? >> Um, okay. The issue >> take a few steps back. >> I don't need you standing that close to me. What's going on? >> That's that's the link that is known. Okay. Believe me. >> What is going on? >> I know military. >> Okay. >> But anyway, >> yes. >> The fact is that I came here to get my phone replaced was actually um 2 days ago and they refused to do it. They said there was a problem with the person that sold the phone to me, which is a corporation. It doesn't matter. So, I bring the phone back again. I had a SIM card in it, of course, that was supplied. And then I put a memory SD in it. The SD all of a sudden went missing. Then I'm asking for service. And then, but hold up. The whole problem is somebody else on my phone, which they won't regulate. Where's all the four others. >> The story unfolded exactly as the staff had warned, but in an even more tangled, chaotic way. So, even after hearing her version, the officers stayed firm. Their decision had already been made. >> All I'm letting you know is that what's going on here is not resolving anything. >> So, because of the disturbance you're causing to the store, he's going to ask you the chilies. >> And the only way you can resolve this complaint? >> Yes, you have. >> I'm asking them. I have. Um, and the main person I was speaking to, he didn't shake his head. >> He's not represent to the store that he does. >> Yeah, you can't be raising your voice. >> I'm not raising my voice. You see, >> you almost behave. So, we're going to ask for help. >> We already told you. We already explained to you that we don't have anything. >> No, they said they could look it up. Um, actually, Derma, where is he at? >> Talk about Daryl. >> Yes. May I see him, please? >> Does Daryl have something of hers? >> Yes. He said no. He said he was going to help me. >> The whole thing is trying to look. >> But what's going to happen is what I've explained is you're going to have to get in touch with his corporate office and you're going to have to file a complaint directly with him. >> There's no point in resol arguing. It's not going to resolve anything. >> May I speak? >> Can you please get Daryl? >> We don't need Daryl to come here. You've been asked to leave and you need to leave. >> If you want to speak with anyone else, you can call in on the phone and ask to speak with them. >> Okay. >> May I speak with Daryl, please? She ignored the officers and kept acting like the always right customer, forcing the officer to warn her clearly that her behavior was about to create a much bigger problem for herself. >> Waiting for him is not an option. You can get your stuff and you can go cuz he's asking you to leave. You've been trespassing. >> I need a phone, please. May I use a phone before I leave? Thank you. >> No, you've been asked to leave. They're not going to supply you a phone. >> With all due respect, >> what? Okay. Are you going to get your stuff and leave? >> Am I going to leave? Yes, cuz you have to you do not need a phone. No one they're not required to provide you a phone. >> Oh, absolutely required. Yes, absolutely. That's the phone you came with warranty. >> Okay, then you have to handle that through the corporate office. No, I don't. You're not going to handle it. >> This is the office I go to. >> Okay. Are you going to leave the store? >> Yes or no? >> Can I call the company? >> Dermont. >> Like the officer said, >> can I der? Thank you, Andrew. >> If you're waiting for him, that's not what's going to happen. >> Andrew. Thank you, Andrew. May I speak to Dermont? Are you going to leave the store like you've been requested? >> No, I didn't request that. >> Remember that answer and then watch her excuses spill out right after. Excuses that showed her refusal was the very reason she ended up being restrained by the officers. >> Sir, wait. What? No. >> No. What are you doing? >> I'm leaving. I told you. No, sir. I'm leaving. >> Said no. Stop. >> No. I said I'm right here. They just stay right here. I'm going to end up cuffing you on the ground. Is that what you want? >> No. Can I please? >> No. No. Stop. Just like you are, >> sir. I am. But listen, >> sir, I'm leaving. No, I'm not going to come. >> Stop resisting and stand still. >> Sir, you understand me? >> Just >> too late. You've been asked to leave several. >> No, I'm going to. >> SIR, >> what are you doing to me? I didn't do nothing. Masking controlled >> resisting arrest behind your back behind you right now. >> Help me politely. Asking you politely to come. >> No, you guys are crazy. >> Right now you >> guys are crazy. You better help me. Eric, come here. Eric, 911. 911. Please help me. You better get off me. You're going to get in trouble. More of you. All of you. I swear to God, I didn't do nothing. GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME. I WILL LIFT YOU. >> GET OFF ME. MOM, STOP. >> Get off me. GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME. NO, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO RUN OFF IF I MOVE. >> I'M NOT. GET OFF ME. >> Her instability exploded in the clearest way. One moment she was cursing at the officers and the next she was screaming like she was the victim of the whole incident. >> Get off me. YOU'RE MOM. I CAN'T BREATHE. MOM, I CAN'T BREATHE. You're mama. me. >> Stop. Stop grabbing me. >> Help me up. I can't breathe. Mama, >> no pressure on your chest or your back. YOU CAN JUST MY BACK. I HAVE TO GET HIM OFF ME. >> STOP KICKING MY LEG AWAY. >> GET HIM OFF ME. >> STOP. >> GET HIM OFF ME. GET OFF ME. >> Hold on. Stay where you are. >> Get off me. YOU'RE DEAD. MOM, I CAN'T BREATHE. MOM, I CAN'T BREATHE. You're hurting me. Mama, you're hurting me. >> Stop. Stop grabbing me. >> Help me up. I can't breathe. Mama, >> no pressure on your chest or your back. You can LEAVE JUST MY BACK. I HAVE TO GET HIM OFF ME. >> STOP KICKING MY LEG AWAY. >> GET HIM OFF ME. >> STOP. GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME. >> Hold on. Stay where you are. >> During the escort to the car, she still had no intention of stopping. Her screams trailed after her with every single step. >> I need my stuff. Give me my stuff. Give me my stuff. >> Give me my stuff. >> Come on. Are you going to walk? >> It's all off camera. >> Are you going to walk? >> Everything. >> Come on. >> All of you. >> Come on. >> Get my hair out of my mouth, please. Stop. Get your hair out of my mouth. >> Come on. >> You're going down, too, Letty. You're going down. >> All right, buddy. Go. Come on. >> Yeah. Lick your lips, you dumb. >> Stop grabbing my finger. >> No. I thought you're me. That's why. >> Stop grabbing my finger. >> You'reing me. You're going to see. All of you are getting in trouble if you even know me. >> I didn't see the road. >> Okay. >> Oh, you guys came on. that. >> Yeah, you guys did. As you can see, you tell them to stop handling me like this. >> No, I let go. You're going to grab and catch me again. >> Watch. I'm going to show you all. I didn't do nothing wrong. >> This is it. Just her. >> Sorry. >> In the end, she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing. Stay calm and cooperate. Resisting only turns a minor problem into a much bigger one.
