Not going to sit here and play games with you. It's not my first day. >> I want everything. >> They cut the attitude. >> I am not. [music] >> On the 19th of October 2025, police were dispatched to Walmart after the store's loss prevention staff discovered a woman behaving suspiciously while shopping. Prior to that, all of the woman's shopping activities had been monitored through the store's surveillance cameras. I'm I'm >> still there. Of >> course, these chicks got to wait till freaking up to you, bro. If she does it, if you want to just deter or if you want her freak, it's I'll I'll leave that up to you, bro. I'm good with either. >> But if you want her, then we can do that and go that route, too. But >> I'll look her up. If she's in our system, then yeah, I'll presume she's not, then I'll just >> I'll give the [ __ ] back and trespass her system. Yeah. >> Cool. Yeah, she's definitely not going to pay for that. It's >> like she's holding a baby, bro. >> She was [clears throat] trying to scoot in to try to hide it on both sides. >> Falling out. Does she still have some stuff in her hand? >> Like two things. Two things. >> Yeah. >> It's easy, bro. Too easy. >> Yeah. She's taking off the See? >> Yeah. >> For sure. She concealed. >> Yep. >> So, if anything, dude, she takes too long. We just freaking bring her back here. Yeah, she already >> she already concealed the product. So, what about her girl? She's not she's not doing anything right now. She's with her. >> Yeah, she was instantly behind that. >> Yeah, we don't know what >> that rack, but I can't really see. >> But given that they split, they're back together now. >> They're right behind this. >> I think at minimum, the girl in the white, we could trespass based on their behavior. I think she was one of the ones that pushed out uh out of her like Christmas time for for >> So they said if she's uh if she's trespassed already, then we're going to go ahead and cider. >> Yeah. >> She did not just conceal merchandise. The suspect also used a single barcode to pay for multiple different items at the selfch checkckout and everything had already been clearly captured on camera. >> Now she's going to nervous. That's why [snorts] that's what happens when you commit crime. You mess up. I still just >> I see what she did. >> There's a there's a bodysuit in there that's more expensive and she skinned the two black ones for it. >> Holy [ __ ] >> Damn. A She's slinging >> for sure, dude. Pull a big old water cash out. For sure. >> Yeah, she's slinging. >> Like, how you going to steal? You got that kind of money, dude. >> That's so wild, dude. >> Um I don't see all >> That's crazy. >> I see like two two joggers, which >> is insane. I'm curious to see if they're just going to put that on top of that and push those. >> But that all still there. >> Huh. >> That's what she does. That's what she does >> for real. Huh. >> Think she just a holder. >> Yeah, I think so, too. All right. >> No stars. Great. >> And she's just kidding. >> You going to verify the receipt real quick or no? Yeah, I will verify cuz I saw that. >> As soon as the suspect passed the final point of sale and began walking away, the police quickly approached her. Let's see how she reacted when they confronted her. >> Need to hold up for a second. You need to verify your receipt. >> And you, young lady, need to come have a seat in the office. >> Yes. >> Yelling at me for >> I'm not yelling at you. I'm telling you, we can sit here and play games all day, but we watch you on camera putting all kinds of stuff. Empty out all your stuff you got. So, look, I'm going to be real with you. >> Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Right now, I'm not going to play any games. You hold on. Hold on. Just let me talk for a second, but if we're going to play games, I got I got all the time in the world. >> So, whatever you have in and your bag, you need and put it all right here. >> And this is my I really did bring this. Okay. No weapons in your bag. >> Okay. Well, I don't want you pulling out something silly. That's why I'm asking. Okay. All those alcohol bottles. >> Yes. >> Get them from here. >> So, if they check cameras, you're not going to have any alcohol bottles taken from you? >> No. Check them, please. >> Okay. >> You don't even like that. >> I need to see my ID, please. >> I didn't steal alcohol from you. So, why do you need to see my ID? >> I need to see your ID for because right now we're going to deal with all the stuff you just stole. That's why >> I I put it there. You did. >> I didn't say that. I said if you cooperate, we'll see how this goes. I didn't make it. I didn't. It doesn't matter if you have time or not. Look, I could put you in handcuffs right now and just take you to jail for shoplifting. You want to play these little games? >> She tried to play innocent because she had no idea the police had already watched every one of her actions. [music] But things became even worse when she began concealing her personal information, making the situation [music] even more difficult. >> Not my first day. >> Plane, I put everything back. >> Then cut the attitude then. >> Okay. What's your name, man? It's right there, sir. >> I'm asking you. What's your name? >> What's your date of birth? >> Sir, it's right there. >> No, I need you to answer these questions cuz again, you want this night to go a little bit better, then you need to start telling me the truth. >> What do you mean it's right there? >> I'm asking you. >> I don't feel like answering. So, >> you just want to go to You just want to go to jail then? Is that what you want to do? So, that's what we're about to do. I'm I'm not going to sit here and play these little games with you all night. I asked you a question and you can answer it and cooperate. It doesn't matter. I asked you a question because I don't think that's you. Okay? And I'm asking you to verify the information that you provided me saying that's you. I'd like you to verify that. If you can't do that, I know you're lying. It's simp. It's I've been doing this for a while and then you'll pick up another charge again on you. So, I'm giving you a lot of options. Other cops were just taking you to jail already. >> It's just >> Okay. So, let's quit playing games. >> I'm not. >> Okay. So, tell me your date of birth. Okay. your full name. I don't know why you're getting upset with me. You're the one that decided to do what you did. Okay? I've been fair with you. I haven't disrespected you. >> I'm sorry I'm not disrespectful. I'm frustrated with you. >> Well, there's got to be a consequence, right? You can't just go into a store and take stuff. >> The reason she tried to hide her identity was that she already had an active arrest warrant. The police gave her the opportunity to hand her belongings over to her friend for safekeeping, but she showed no interest in doing [music] so. >> You want to give your stuff to your friend? >> No, actually. You don't. >> Why would I want to give it to him? >> So you can give it to your friend for safekeeping or we can take it into the station. You can't take it with you. >> Why am I going to jail? >> You have one for your >> No, I don't for violation of a court order. >> So you can give your property to your friend for you to hold. >> So I'm trying trying to give you an option if you want to give your property to your friend. >> My car. >> You're not even supposed to. >> I'm not going to take it. >> You have an interlock and everything in your vehicle. >> It's my mom, sir. >> Okay. So you don't have So you can't even be driving it anyways. >> I'm not driving it. I know. >> That's my car though. I'm not I don't think What did she take it back to my mom? >> Either way, we're asking give me the option. Do you want to get the property you have left on your person? >> No, sir. No, I do not. >> Clearly, the woman showed none of the attitude you would expect from someone facing criminal accusations. Her defiant behavior only made the situation more tense, [music] and what she did next turned everything into chaos. >> Stand up. No, stand up. I'm not stand up. >> We're not going to be [screaming] stopping difficult. Stop being difficult. >> No, because I don't work. >> Yes, you do. >> Why not? >> You will go to the ground if you don't cooperate. >> You're not even You just said it wasn't me. If you're taking it a joke, I am not Give me your hand. Give me your hand now. >> Okay, fine. FINE. STOP. YOU'RE HURTING ME. >> WAIT. Can you hear my stuff? >> Give me your other hand now. >> WAIT. SIR, you're hurting me. >> Stop, sir. I'm sorry. Turn over on your stomach now. >> I'm sorry. >> Roll over that. >> That's not me. That's not me. >> That's not me. >> You have anything on you? >> Just get up and get her in the car, dude. >> Can you get my friend there, please? >> Huh? >> Sit up. >> Wait. Can you please listen to me? Can you please put my weight back on? >> Please >> sit up. >> Can you put my weight back on and I'll sit up, please? Pull it down. At least my hair, please, sir. Please. >> She seemed more concerned about her hair than the crime she was facing. Even after being arrested for shoplifting, what worried her most while being escorted [music] to the patrol car was her hair and her personal belongings. >> Bullit. >> I got a seat. >> Steph, get my purse. >> Well, I'll get it in a second. Have a seat. Have a seat in the car. >> Listen, you guys ain't listening to me. That's [ __ ] up. >> Do you see anything in the vehicle? There's nothing in the vehicle. So, anything that's left after you get out belongs to you. Have a seat. >> Have a seat in the car. >> We'll get your We'll get your bag, dear friend. Have a seat in the car. >> When you get in my bag, I'll be sitting. >> Look, we're not looking. Can I go shoot Manurva? >> Okay. Then, why do you guys Why do you guys tell me that? >> Cuz you're going to have to sit in the car. That's not an option. >> You can not even Manurva. You told me that wasn't me. I'm telling you. >> I said it didn't look like you and you weren't telling me the truth initially. You wouldn't tell me anything. >> So, that's on you. >> Sir, I'm sorry. Okay. Have a seat in the car. Sir, I'm sorry. >> We can put you in a device that's going to restrain you. >> Sir, I said I'm sorry. >> Then sit down. >> Can we go Can you go run my name again? >> Have a seat. >> Please, sir, have a seat. >> Please don't. Please >> have a seat in the car. >> Can you go run my name? >> I already did. >> That's not me. You even said my name is Destiny. >> Please >> have a seat in the car. >> Please >> have a seat in the car. >> Have a seat in the car. >> Pass that. You're going to jail regardless. It doesn't matter. So, have a seat. You We'll run a different name you want to give us, but you're going to jail regardless. >> So, have a seat. >> Please. Have a seat. >> It's too late. >> Okay, have a seat. >> Otherwise, you're going to be putting something really, really uncomfortable if you want to do that. >> Would you rather do that? >> No, sir. I want you to get my purse. >> I'm going to, but you're going to have a seat in the car first. >> You're not going to dictate what happens. In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest, concealing her identity, and violation of a court order due to an active arrest warrant. [music] One bad decision can often be corrected, but refusing to take responsibility and continuing to lie usually creates even more serious consequences [music] than the original crime. >> Go back to this right here. Right here. [music] >> Okay. You're going to go back there and we're going to talk. >> We're not going to stand. I mean, you're this. >> Wait, can I just pay for it? Please. Can I pay for it? Please. I can pay. Please. Please. Please. Can I pay for it? Please. On the 24th of May 2026, officers received a report from Target [music] about a repeat shoplifting suspect who had returned and was committing the same offense again. When they approached her, she still tried to remain calm as if that could hide what she had done. >> It's going to be truthful. Go back in the right. >> Okay. You're going to go back there and we're going to talk. >> We're not going to stand because we're telling you go to the office. Okay. All right. We're trying to be cool with you. So, we can talk right here. We're going >> if there if there is stuff in there that's stolen, it's it's good to be truthful about it now, okay? Or it'll make it worse. All right? You might be able to work with you or something. All right? >> Okay. >> I'll let you talk to them if you want. I don't know. I got to do this. >> Okay. In your purse, there's molecule stuff. >> Okay. So, I'm not looking in your purse. So, >> I'll take it out. >> No, you take it out. You put it in there. >> Grab your purse, take it out, and give it back to them. It's not yours. >> All of those were since um the >> Oh, yeah. Okay. >> She then returned the stolen merchandise. If you thought that meant she was remorseful, it didn't. Drawing from her past experience, she showed no sign of embarrassment and instead [music] immediately began pleading for another chance. >> Okay. >> These are the ones that we for now. I'm going to get the head back. >> I'm going go to jail. >> I mean, yeah. this school. What you trying to do? >> Wait, can I just pay for it? Please. Can I pay for it? Please I can pay. Please. Please. Please. Can I pay for it? Please. Please. Can I pay for it? I'm not going to call my phone though. >> You are going to >> knock it off. >> I just gave you the phone. Why you doing all this? >> Because you're pulling it back away from me. Turn around. Wait. Okay. Can I talk? >> Turn around now. Okay. Hold on. Just put your hands behind your back. Okay. Forget resistance. You understand me? >> Okay. You don't got to be so rough. My head behind my back. >> Okay. And that's what I just said. >> All right. This seems like an ongoing issue. It needs [ __ ] needs to stop. >> Thank God he paid for the stuff. >> No, especially when you have multiple priors of this stuff. The people are just going to give you chances of buy stuff. >> What's the date? >> What's the date? >> Do you have anything in your pockets? Any other merchandise that I need to know about? Okay. >> Okay. >> Take a seat. >> Her attempt to deny everything quickly fell apart because she assumed the officers knew nothing about her previous thefts. She was mistaken. Moments later, they laid out the full record of her past incidents. Why you gonna tell me? >> Okay, they have you they have [laughter] technology saying got me on camera though, but I never sto they're able to track every item that comes in and out of the store and if it's in your possession walking out with it, it rings it up as sto >> you put all my stuff together. >> Do what? Sorry. >> All my stuff together. Everything that's um in that basket. >> Does any of this purchase in that bag? I just paid for it. Purchase >> all this. Okay. So, >> I'm taking all my stuff stay together and thatinity bag in there. I can check there too. Ain't nothing in that bag. She can check if she wants. I need >> match it up with her sheets real quick and then and if if it's purchase and purchase. >> No, I'm talking about the Xinity bag. I'm give her permission to check the Infinity bag. Nothing in the Xinity bag. I just brought that in from Xfinity. I just brought a Wi-Fi box. She didn't. >> Okay. >> You told me there's no nothing. >> I'm permission to check. I didn't put it in there. >> I mean, if this is from X-Men, it's not here from here anyway. So, I can't even >> I understand. I just make sure there's no Target stuff in here. You come about my first food, bro. >> Can I eat it? [snorts] >> Yeah. >> Where you stay? >> All righty. Um, >> where's all that stuff? >> Britney's crap as well. [snorts] >> I'm not worried about that right now. Sorry. the 26. >> The woman showed no sign of accepting responsibility for what she had done. At that point, the officers carefully explained the situation to make it clear that nothing she said would change the outcome. >> Once you walk past the last point of sale, it's over. You walk past those registers, there's no chance to pay for it anymore. >> You committed a retail fir. >> If you would have just sat there, >> it's still on. It's still >> It's common sense. You're You know what's right and wrong. Okay. It's a learning experience, but obviously you have a [ __ ] ton of partners at doing this. It's just going to only get worse and they obviously know who you are, so it's not really >> not let me come in your store. >> You want to trespass? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Trespass. >> I know you're formally trespassing. You come back, go to jail for that. Okay, >> I hear you. I know what trespassing is, right? >> I still got to say, >> you know how many people come in and out of here and how hard it is to watch all the people that come in here? >> No, they're not. >> Cuz she need a better job. She not a secret shopper. I watched her the whole time watching me. You know, >> thousands of people walk in and out. She didn't lose her two days ago. >> What's your What's your first name? >> What was the total for the other cases? >> I think >> this is today online. >> Okay. >> I have these ones. These are all three files. In the end, the woman was charged with three counts of felony retail theft and one count of retail theft. Repeated offenses leave a trail of evidence that becomes harder to escape over time. [music] Modern retailers can connect separate incidents through surveillance and inventory tracking, making it far more difficult for repeat offenders to avoid accountability. Taking responsibility early is far more productive than denying evidence that has already been [music] documented. >> You know why? Or >> cuz I don't have a lot of money. Is there any way that I couldn't [music] couldn't like walk out there with my hands behind my back? >> On the 8th of September 2025, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a shoplifting incident. The suspect was believed to be a young woman who had deliberately hidden merchandise in her purse to avoid paying for it. Here's what happened when officers arrived at the scene. What's up, Charlotte? How you doing? Good. >> Hey, my name's Officer Fly Police. What's your name? >> Lucy. Hi, Lucy. So, what's your name? >> Lucy. >> Hi, Lucy. So, I'm going to talk to them for a few minutes. All right. But because you're back here detained, all right, you're not under arrest, I'm just going to read you your rights. Okay. Does that make sense? >> Sounds perfect. >> Okay. You You understand that? All right. While she remained completely calm while speaking with the officers, another officer spoke separately with the loss prevention staff to learn exactly what she had done before they arrived. >> Um, started watching her and she had a bag that looked pretty empty. Um, she then grabbed some all her stuff. >> Yeah. So, this is paid for that's not paid for. Uh, she grabbed like some type of skin lotion and another item from there. Um, as she was walking Salesforce, she concealed it into her own purse. Um, she then went grocery shopping, made her way towards self checkout. When she got to the register, she grabbed two chickens, scan one, bag two. Um, and then with the rest of the other items, like all the toilet paper and all that was underneath. So was the beer was underneath. She grabbed the handguns. She only scanned one item that was down there. Made no effort to scan the rest of the stuff. Okay. Um, the clothing and the salmon was cut apart. She covered it with grocery bags. >> Okay. So, you watching this all on camera or in person? >> Cameras. And then the concealment on the floor. >> Okay. And you guys confronted her here in the flare? >> Like right here around where she exit. >> Okay. >> And then she gave you the stuff out of her purse. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Back with the suspect, she casually admitted what she had done, making no attempt to hide her actions and showing no sign of embarrassment as she explained everything. >> So, are what what happened today? What's what brought us here? >> I stole so much food. >> Okay. You know why? Or >> cuz I don't have a whole lot of money right now. >> All right. What items did you steal? >> I stole I stole some toilet paper and two packs of two packs of the paper towels, some chicken and packs and I think some sweats. >> And you think what? >> Some sweats. >> Some sweats. >> Some sweats. Okay. Did you put any of these items in your in your purse? >> Oh, and I did also grab a a bottle of like hand lotion. >> Hand lotion. >> Working hands, I think it's called. >> Okay. And you put Was that in your purse? >> Yes. >> Where were you at in the store when you put it in your purse? >> I was next to the makeup section, I think. >> Okay. So, in the cosmetic area. >> Yeah. Wherever the lotion is at. >> Why did you put it in your purse? >> Um, >> why did I put it in my purse? I wanted to grab it and steal it. >> Okay. So, the purse was used to more or less hide the item. >> Yes. >> Was there anything else in your purse that belongs to Walmart? >> And also a um protein. >> A protein shake. >> Yeah. Same thing. >> Yeah. And those are the only two items that were in my purse. >> Is there anything else in there that belongs to Walmart? >> No. >> Shortly afterward, the officer searched her belongings and found a debit card, suggesting that she appeared to have the means to pay for the items instead of stealing them. >> Okay. I see you have a debit card. Um, >> that's mine. >> Yeah. How much money do you have on your debit card? >> On my debit card? >> Yeah. Like is this the only form of payment you have on eBay? >> Yes. >> So you don't have anything to pay like on your phone? No cash, nothing in your pockets? >> No. >> Okay. Yeah. So how much money is on this? >> I have enough $100 for groceries and the rest just for utilities. >> Okay. So you you came in with $100 on this or there's $100 now after you purchased the items you did scan? There's there is still an like there's probably around $900 on it. >> Oh after after but I'm designating that for my rent and utilities. >> Oh, I see. So you have 900. You're just >> given your monthly budget. >> Yeah. >> You're saying you have roughly $100 to spend on >> on groceries. >> Okay. >> Did you drive here today? So you have keys in there? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, what did you do first when you came to the store? Like where did you go? >> I went to the grocery section and started putting >> groceries in my cart. >> Okay. Then what? >> And then I went to the cosmetic section and grabbed the protein shake. Walked around, >> see if there was anything else that I needed. I don't really have like a grocery list or anything like that. >> She explained that she had a $100 budget for shopping. But the officer noticed a problem after checking the receipt total. That raised suspicion that she may have intended to steal before she even came to the store. >> So if you came in here, help me understand this, I guess, because if you came in here with the intent to go grocery shopping, it sounds like, right? You know your budget's $100. Okay. The items you did pay for was you're saying roughly 85 bucks. Do you know how much the items total that you stole? Like if you had to estimate the value of the stolen items, what would you guess it is? >> Maybe around 50 bucks. >> Okay. >> So, that's where we need to figure this out. >> Okay. Because if you're saying your budget is $100 >> and you bought $85 worth of stuff but stole $50, >> you see how that's not $100? So, what I'm getting at is that leads me to believe that you may have come into the store today with the intent to steal. Is that a fair statement? >> Okay. >> Okay. So, you knew you were going to come to Walmart today to steal things? >> I think I came into the Walmart with the intent to spend $85. And I also saw some other necessities that >> Yeah. >> What were those other necessities? chicken, toilet paper, um, alcohol, which I guess I don't really need, but I grabbed it. >> Yeah. >> And >> at that point, the officer was convinced of her criminal conduct and made his decision shortly afterward. >> You filled out the purple sheet. Okay. So, here's what we're going to do. Um, where'd I put your ID? Lucy, I'll have you stand up for me and just uh face the wall here and put your hands behind your back. Okay. So, Walmart is uh placing you under citizen's arrest for two crimes. Okay. Uh misdemeanor petty theft and also willful concealment of goods prior to exiting the store. Do you have questions about that? No. So now my partner is just going to search you now. Incident to arrest. Okay. >> Do you have anything tucked in your shorts or your bra? >> Nothing else? Nothing touching your shorts. Right. >> I'm not going to fill that right now cuz you got spandex on. >> But if you Okay. If you get into the jail and you have something tucked, it's a whole another issue, right? Nothing. >> No. >> Okay. >> Okay. Will you guys >> Sorry. >> Sorry. Go ahead. What do you need? >> I'm I'm not going to run away. Is there any way that I can could like walk out there with my hands behind my back? >> Okay. So, my partner's going to take you to my car while I finish up in here really quick. >> She was charged with misdemeanor petty theft and willful concealment of goods prior to exiting the store. Admitting to a crime does not erase the consequences, especially when the evidence already tells the full story. [music] Even small acts of theft can quickly turn into criminal charges that leave lasting consequences. >> There's nothing inside this bag at all. [music] >> Yeah. Just pop the magnets off. >> Yeah, that was in her pocket. She said she didn't know what it was. On the 25th of January 2025, officers responded to a call from the Sunglass Hut at [music] Coastland Center Mall after a woman was reported for stealing sunglasses. What seemed like a simple shoplifting case quickly turned into something far more serious with the total value of the losses reaching a surprising amount. First, here's what happened when officers made contact with her. >> Open this bag. >> There's nothing inside this bag at all. We're going to go out to the car. Let's see. Where are you parked over at? >> I don't really know the area. >> All right. Go out. Go out this way then. We're going out this way cuz I have another officer coming. >> Well, we can walk around here. Go out this way. >> Can you ask him if he'll sign a form statement for the side since we don't have a good question? You're going to have to walk this way. >> Okay. >> What kind of car is it? >> Can they meet you over here? >> Inside the mall. The car is open. >> I said we could have walked that way. >> You have ID on here. You said it's in the car. >> Yeah. >> In the parking garage. >> I searched all of my stuff. I don't have any glasses. Where you at? Oh, no. This [ __ ] glasses take no [ __ ] glasses. >> So, if I don't find no glasses, I can leave, right? Because I don't have any glasses. >> I'm the one. >> I don't have any glasses. >> You're on video putting the glasses in your jacket. >> They're not in the store. >> Yes, they are in the store. I put the glasses back. >> So, if they if they want to press charges, then they can press charges. >> They're not for the glasses. >> She was then escorted outside to the parking lot to ensure she could not flee. >> [music] >> Officers detained her shortly afterward. >> No, I'm saying can I let her know what's going on at least so she can get >> Yeah, but I want to >> turn your hand inward. There you go. >> At least let me make a bone. Okay, you can wait. >> You have anything on us that's going to book us, stick us, or anything like that? >> Okay. >> Can I at least make a phone call, sir? >> I just want to [laughter] let my grandmother know, >> please. I know what that is. So, >> yeah, I know what that is. >> So, you will be arrested for that alone. >> Do you have anything you >> No. Can I at least make a phone call, sir? >> Yeah. I want you to make a phone call to whoever has the vehicle to come over here to get your ID. >> Can I give you my name? Yeah. >> Can I [clears throat] get my phone? >> Okay. >> Okay. >> You want to go? >> At least she can get my kids, please. >> Oh, my kids. >> Yeah. The brand house, please. >> What's your birth name? >> J A B O N. >> J A V O N. >> S H A Y E. >> S H A Y E. V A V I S >> Officers believed the woman had handed the stolen sunglasses to an accomplice because they could no longer be found on her. However, [music] they still discovered several other items that were believed to have been stolen from other stores. >> They've been doing this for weeks. >> You know, Pink usually presses charger. I'm not going to waste that. >> Uh my day at 3:05. >> You put me in as deputy. >> No, we're not counting. No, I'm just kidding. Um >> Oh, no. >> Yeah, I know. for >> view. I was sitting this way and then they had that other thing so I couldn't ask you questions. >> So >> can you guys send someone to pink for me? >> Pink Louis or what is it? Victoria's Secret I guess >> and see she has no receipts. It was difficult for the woman to deny what she had done with this much evidence against her. Officers even confirmed how she had been able to get past the store's security. >> What is it? >> Yeah, >> but there's no price tag on it. So, she ripped the price tag off of them. >> I'm assuming you get out of uh >> That's what I think. >> But all it does is >> it is a heavy magnet just to pop it off. Oh. that government anti. >> Did you send someone already? >> No, I mean >> what's that? >> All right, coming back. >> Thank you, sir. >> Sorry. >> Um, >> yeah, cuz I have hard evidence. >> Um, do you have any proper receipts available? If not, I got to get in there. >> I mean, I could do that. I could do that at the station. >> I can do it at the station. >> You're going to take it? Are you guys supposed to? >> I don't know. She just always calls me and I have to take it when I'm on our road. But >> no, but I'm >> Yeah, it's usually cuz you're >> I'm here, but I >> You leave it here all day. >> Yeah, they made me come in early. [laughter] >> See, you were in about 95. >> No, I messed up and came in the wrong time. >> I wish to press charges. on behalf of Watonica. >> You don't even have to do that. Just I wish to press charges. >> Is she being trespassed? >> Yeah, she'll be trespassed from the mall. Definitely. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> What I'm going to do is just sign this real quick and then if you want a photo of this for yourself real fast. >> Yeah, I can. >> This way you have the case number and stuff on it. >> You reach out to the original. >> In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft and possession of burglary tools. Bringing a tool to defeat store security can become a separate felony, [music] even if the stolen merchandise is never recovered. You're not 6'2. You ain't got blue eyes is what the ID is coming back to identification. I really don't have any security. I don't have anything. >> On the 19th of December 2025, officers approached a man after receiving reports that he had used a fraudulent ID to rent a car. And the moment they confronted him, every glaring mismatch in his appearance was immediately pointed out. >> Hey sir, how you doing? So this is not going back to a picture of you ID. What do you mean? You're not 6'2. You ain't got blue eyes. Is what the ID is coming back to? >> Why 62? >> What? >> What does it say? 62 with blue eyes. >> It says you're 6'2, 6'2 with blue eyes, which does not match you. Correct. >> So do you have another ID or what's your name? No, that's the ID that gave me at the DMV. >> Okay. >> Because I'm waiting on my paper card. That's the paper. >> Okay. >> RG bus. >> Are you able to come to Alamo? >> We're doing an ID verification and it's not totally matching up. Yeah. GR. Yeah. First first floor, first shed. I know it's on there, but what's your name? >> And what's your date of birth? >> Um, >> what year? >> Um, 19. >> You're good. >> Have you ever had an ID out of another state? >> No. >> Only. >> Yeah. That's what like I'm so confused. It could be said that the man had clearly prepared an advance by memorizing the information on the ID. And to further confirm that he had used someone else's identity, officers verified it through the system >> name. It comes back to a different photo. >> Correct. Or that photo belongs to this driver's license. Correct. >> Theoretically, this guy is committing an identity theft, right? So, the only other thing we can do is contact uh C and see if they want to run it in any other way. But it appears like we have enough PC at the moment. So, I would just ask him additional questions to figure out if we can identify who he actually is. >> So, do you know like you know your social know your social security number? I don't know. No, I don't feel that out. >> Well, we're trying to ID you. >> I know. Unless it's coming back to you. >> It is. I was It's back to me. >> It's not coming back to you. I swear to you. It's coming back to me, sir. It's not coming back to you, Mario. So, >> I if you if you want us if you want us to help identify who you are, >> that is me. I'm not social. I don't I don't >> Okay. Well, right now we're sitting at this is a fake. you're committing identity to because this is not it's come back to a different person. >> How how is that coming back to a different person? Where what is this? What does this person look like? But it's coming back. >> Not you. >> Cuz I can assure you that's me. >> It's it's I'm waiting for it to be made. Well, I'm not going to argue like either try to ID you like either give all your social so we can help you out or we're going to have to arrest you for identity theft. >> Um I I just don't feel that there any any other way we can identify you. >> He showed no panic when officers told him the ID he claimed was his was fake, making it clear that he had already known that. Police gave him another chance to prove himself, but his answers only raised even more suspicion. >> If you want to identify yourself bisexual, you can. If not, I will arrest you. Okay, we'll give you a social identity. How is it identity if you're telling me it's not me? Because you're using someone else's ID or a fake ID. That's what what's your social comeback to not to this not to this person social. >> All right. And what is what is the social comeback? >> Uh it comes Well, he said you can't run it so we can social can only do it. >> But he was saying it's not matching up to this idea. >> What social? What's What state were you born out of? >> What social would that come back to in a driver's license? money. >> Well, I know it's your social. Well, what you're telling me is your social. What state would that driver's license be associated with a social? For instance, if you had a driver's license out of North Carolina, your social would be associated with it. When you got a driver's license, other than the driver's license you're presenting, where would that social be attached to? It would be uh Okay. Um, is there a number from on your driver's license that you recall? Do you recall your driver's license number? >> Uh, no, sir. >> Okay. >> And why do you think it comes back from Did you have an driver's license? >> No, that's I was born in like right. >> He failed to prove anything at all and everything the man said only dragged the situation out for no reason. So, by that point, officers had made their decision, >> right? And I'm asking you, if you're telling me that's you and it's not, I'm offering you an opportunity to tell me now the the truth. Just tell me the truth. Is that you? >> No. >> Right. Can you tell me who you are? Your actual real information. I want you to do is continue cooperating with with us. We're going to be nice to you. We're going to be respectful. We're not going to do anything outside of what we're allowed to do by law. All right? We're not going to violate your rights. We're not going to use excessive force. We're just here to figure things out. Can you just provide him your correct information? >> Yeah. >> All right. I appreciate it. >> What is it? Two of you. What do you have for us? >> Um, what's your what's your name? What's your name? Thank you. >> Would you mind if I take a picture of you? It's going to be easier for us to locate that driver's license. What made you want to use someone else's driver's license? >> I my driver's license stolen. >> Stolen? >> Yeah. I felt I I went to a friend cuz I needed identification in order to get um get so I can get my driver's license. >> Do Do you know how dangerous that is? Like I know you say it's a friend. I'm assuming it's a friend that has no like legitimate intention to do you good because he gave you information to someone that doesn't have that may have warrants. So when whenever you give someone else's information, you don't know what's going on in that other person's life and you could end up going to jail over something that is you could have solved this problem many different other ways. He was charged with two felony counts of identity theft, one felony count of forgery, one felony count of criminal simulation, and one misdemeanor count of possession of methamphetamine. Using someone else's identity to solve a problem only creates bigger consequences that can quickly destroy your freedom. >> Who is? Hey, is there another sergeant? >> No, >> there's not. >> Can you step out of the vehicle, ma'am? >> Come on. >> Whoa. >> Come on. You're under arrest. >> Get on the ground. >> Ow. Ow. Ow. On the 13th of October 2025, police were dispatched to a parking lot after receiving reports of a vehicle parked in a no parking zone with stolen registration tabs attached to plates that had expired in 2021. But behind that, even more suspicious signs remained. Here was what happened when police arrived at the scene. >> Sergeant, go forth. Can police, you know, you've been audio and video recorded. You know, you were parked in a parking zone. It it it Well, my friend had to go and get coolant cuz we always use them. So, >> okay. >> And I live here. So, >> okay. What did What unit do you live in? >> Okay. You know, the tabs on there don't belong to this car either. >> No, it was my friend's car, so no. >> It expired in 2021. And there's tabs that don't belong to it. >> Wait, come back. >> You're in the driver's seat. I don't bring one just in case I have to push it and move it out of the way. >> Okay. >> But you're in the driver's seat. >> So, you're possessing the car, right? And it's your responsibility as a possessor. >> I don't know. Cuz the reason this possessor of it is your car and I read because I can move. I have to push it. >> Okay. >> So, I can push the car. >> What you got in that box there? >> Okay. >> What >> you said? Okay. >> That's a weird response to a box that's sitting right next to you. >> Can you step out here for me? >> Did I do something wrong? >> 142. Can I have a second, please? >> Can you step out of the car, please? >> Yeah. Did I do something wrong? >> You have a lighter in your hand. There's a box there. There's a jar right there. Um, consistent with possible drug paraphernalia. You have tabs not belonging to the car. Car is not registered to you. Uh, you're associated to a unit. Drugs are known to come to and from. >> Faced with the suspicions raised by police, the woman could not deny anything. And for refusing to get out of the car, she had her reason for it. >> You're refusing to step out. >> I'm saying, what did I do wrong? >> I just listed off all the things. And we have a signed trespass agreement here. >> Okay. >> Yo, what? >> Signed trespass agreement with the property. >> Yeah, but I live here. >> Okay. >> So, and I'm waiting for you to come back. >> Okay. I just listed about six reasons why I would like you to step out of the car and you didn't listen to one of them. >> I did listen to them, but I didn't break any laws by sitting here. >> Okay. You know what, Terry? Your reasonable suspicion is it means it's not quite probable cause, but I have reasons to believe that crime is a foot. >> So, you think I'm coming in here? Why am I sitting here? >> I believe there's possibly drug paraphernalia in this car. Yes. >> And where do you where where where would you believe that? >> Okay. >> I'm not I'm not going to do this. So, are you willing to step out or no? >> I'm asking where what I where >> I've asked you to step out about five times. >> I have a lighter in my hand. I smoke cigarettes. I'm allowed to have a lighter. >> Okay. >> I'm allowed to have a lighter, right? I'm over 21. >> Sure. >> And I'm allowed to smoke cigarettes, right? >> Sure. >> So, why wouldn't I have a lighter? >> Okay. Right. >> I didn't do anything. I'm waiting for him to come back. The car is overheating. I'm waiting to come back. Only can push it. So, okay. Well, this car is not going anywhere. >> I'm here to push it. >> Okay. Well, has tabs not belonging to me. Step out of the car, please. This is number six time I've asked you. >> What does that mean? >> You're going to exit the car. Exit the car. Exit the car. >> Okay. He's telling me >> exit the car. The tabs on here don't belong to this car. >> No, this is Hold on. This >> You need to step out. We're going to pull you out. You need to step out. >> Hold on. I'm You need to know what we're saying. Step out. >> Okay. Don't Don't >> We won't if you step out. >> Okay. Don't touch me, please. >> It could be said that beyond six orders for the woman to get out of the car. Police had also explained their suspicions many times, but she paid no attention and kept acting innocent to make things harder for officers. >> And what did I do wrong? >> I've already explained it all. >> What did you explain to me? I'm trying to get my shoe obviously. So, >> okay. >> What did I do by sitting there? >> He's not telling me what I did and you guys put your hands on me. >> Is there a sergeant? >> Yeah, he's a sergeant. >> Who is Okay. Is there another sergeant? >> No, >> there's not. Can you step out of the vehicle, ma'am? Listen, if you just complied, everything would be good. We would talk. >> Obviously, I'm pushing my shoe forward, so I got to put my shoe on. >> Ow. Okay. >> My shoe. >> How about this? If you step out, I will grab your shoes. Okay. >> I got >> You got it. Okay. Step out. >> Come on. >> Don't Don't pull on me. >> I'm I'm trying to get you out of the car nicely, but you're not doing it. >> But you're not giving me a reason. >> Okay. Listen. If you don't step out, you're going to be under arrest for obstructing. Step out now. >> Okay. Obstruction of what? >> Of us. You need to do what we're telling you to do. >> Instruction. What did I What am I obstructing you from? >> Cuz you're not stepping out of the car. You're not obeying a lawful command. Step out of the vehicle. >> I didn't do anything though. >> Come on. >> Whoa. >> What the woman was doing was simply stalling the situation. But things did not go the way she wanted and police moved in without hesitation. >> Come on. You're under arrest. >> For what? >> On the ground. >> Ow. Ow. On the ground. On the ground. >> On the ground. >> Okay. Now you're under arrest. >> For what? I'm under arrest for what? >> Obstructing. I gave you a warning. >> Ow. You did not give me a warning. A warning about what? >> What did I do? I didn't do anything. >> I'm sitting in the car. I live here. >> Okay, that's fine. >> I live here. I live here. >> Stop. >> I live here. >> Stop resisting. You got to get a new charge. >> For what? You're saying I didn't I didn't I didn't do anything. >> This is illegal as >> This is illegal. >> We have one in custody. Hey, can you start a separate 16 for use for This is illegal as This is so illegal. >> This is illegal. Ow. This is illegal. Okay. >> This is illegal. I'm not doing I didn't do anything. All right. >> So, why are you sitting there? I live here. >> Listen, ma'am. We would have talked to you, but you >> you have to listen to that. >> What do you mean? >> Okay. Stand up for you. >> There was nothing illegal here. If you were the suspect in this situation, refusing police orders could get you charged with obstruction. But it seemed the woman did not realize that. >> To say what? >> Wait. Under arrest for what though? >> Obstructing. >> What? >> You have to listen to the police when we give you a command. Okay. I know. It's covered. >> Really? >> Uh, yeah. >> I live here. >> Yeah. This has nothing to do with you. I had to do what they have on the ground. >> I live here and I didn't >> Doesn't look like you have any pockets. I need a girl to search me. >> Okay. We don't have any females working. Okay. >> Okay. Well, can you get a female? >> Would you like me to call one from home? >> Yes, please. >> No, that's not going to happen. >> Okay. I don't give a permission to touch on me. >> Actually, we don't have one readily available. >> I don't get permission to touch on me. >> Do you have pockets even? >> I don't get permission to touch on me, though. >> Ma'am, that's not the way this works. >> That's not how this works. >> Yeah, if he's not a girl. >> Okay, listen. I'm going to lift your shirt to make sure you don't have a pocket. That's all I'm doing. I'm going >> I'm trying to see if you have a pocket, man. Bet you >> have a pocket. I don't have a pocket. >> Ashley, hey, just focus on me for a second. Okay, you should know who I am. I talk to you all the time. Okay, >> my partner is trying to do right now. He just needs to make sure that you don't have anything on you that can't go going to jail with you. Okay. >> No, I don't. >> And right after that, the woman realized she could hardly avoid arrest. And she also admitted that she had illegal drugs on her. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, listen. I would want to work with you on that. Okay. She's saying she has fentinyl in her bra. >> Yeah, she had a pipe in her shoe. >> I told you something was in my shoe. I didn't know what it was. >> Actually, it's okay. We're just a drug. Careful in your shoe. That's all. >> I didn't know it was in my shoe. That's why I said to take my shoe out. That's why I took my shoe off and you saw me take my shoe off cuz I didn't know it was in it. >> So, Ashley, do you have anything else hidden on you this morning? I believe we're having to rent for me. >> No, that's fine. No, that's fine. It's on my period. >> We're going to take it for That's what you're worried about? >> Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm going to the period. >> Okay. >> Hey, Ashley, while we're waiting, I read you your rights. You said you understood them. Is that correct? >> Do you want me to reread them before I ask any more questions? >> I No, cuz it doesn't matter now. What am I in trouble for? >> You're under arrest for obstruction and now possession of control substance. Uh, and you also have a warrant out of Olympia. >> Olympia for work. For what? >> Assault. >> Assault. >> But I was unaware of that. >> In the end, she was charged with obstructing a law enforcement officer and drug possession with intent to deliver. Actions have consequences, and refusing lawful orders while hiding the truth can quickly turn suspicion into serious criminal charges. >> Y'all, I just been going through a lot. I just got put out of my apartment. My son is locked up. So, you're stealing from several different people. So, what [clears throat] do you think should happen to you? >> That should go on. >> Think so. >> On the 21st of May 2025, police were dispatched to [music] a bank after receiving a report of an incident involving the use of a fake identity to conduct suspicious transactions and the female suspect was believed to be attempting to leave. This was what occurred at that time. I just got back from lunch. This is 5 years. She presented to this gentleman. She came in a week before last and did a withdrawal and she's been to other branches. >> Okay. >> And she's not this person. >> She's not that person. >> So, then she send it in. >> So, this one we had [clears throat] some performance that was sent out in our market. So, be on the lookout for her. >> So, this is the person [music] I do have account Teresa. >> Okay. >> Okay. And this person I have an account to too. So right now we don't know who she is. >> Hey ma'am walk we need to talk to you real quick. Okay ma'am we need to talk to you real quick [music] hit police department. >> The reason why we need to talk to you is basically that we got a call stating that you was trying to make some uh bank transactions or cash or check whatever you were trying to do utilizing someone else's uh information not yours >> and you was trying to impersonate yourself as that person. >> Are you aware of that? >> No. >> Okay. Do you have your ID now? >> No. You don't have ID? >> I just left it on the counter, I think. You know, >> you left it on the counter. Why did you leave it on the counter? It's >> in here. >> Okay, we can get it. >> Hold on. Hold on a sec. Just stay right there. Let me get >> It was clear that she appeared more visibly panicked upon meeting the police than when hearing the accusations against her, as if she had already been aware of them. Her responses to the officers only deepened further suspicion. >> What you doing here today? >> Nothing. >> Nothing. You're at a bank. I was trying to make a transaction. >> All right, so here's the thing. We're going to go ahead and cut out all the bull crap. Okay, you're doing something wrong here. It's in your best interest to tell us what that is. So, go ahead and do that. Okay, just be honest. >> It's okay if you can tell us. >> I just tried to do something illegal. >> Okay. Well, tell us what that is. Okay. And why did you do it? That's the main thing. >> How? >> Or why? >> I'm just going through a lot of things. Um my son got locked up. I'm just having hard financial hardship right now. >> Okay. Did somebody set you up to this or was it something you that you decided to do? >> No, it was just something that I heard about and I just >> try to see try. Okay. >> Please don't. Please don't. >> So, you got your your regular ID? >> No. >> Okay. >> Her attempts to explain her difficult circumstances effectively became an indirect admission of her actions. She even continued to use them to appear sympathetic and plead for forgiveness. >> Y'all, I just been going through a lot. I just got put out of my apartment. My son is locked up. It's just a lot going on. >> You know, just cuz you're going through something, that doesn't mean it's okay to your ID from Georgia. >> Yes. I didn't take anything. >> Just do me a favor and don't use your phone right now. >> Okay. >> Where's your driver's license? >> I didn't bring my real spot. >> How much money did she get on this one? Which one? >> The first one. >> A lot. >> Came to our branch. >> I need to know number. >> Yeah. >> Was it Did it happen here in Haiti? >> I'm talking about the How much money did she get from Hait the only one I can put a case on and tell me. I need a date and time she came here. Withdrawal. >> I think she did. So about 15 >> 15 what? >> 15,000. >> 15,000. >> Have her print all that for the last one. We'll get that one. This one for I did a withdrawal on this one. >> She's trying to get out 8,000. the account is inactive. >> Okay. So, so 15,000. I need we need a print out on that then. >> Yeah. And we need everything printed from the transaction. The amount. >> Did y'all contact the uh the account holder? >> The account owner is either if I can remember Alabama. >> Okay. If you can get us his information, his or her information, how much money was taken out cuz obviously those people would be victims and and the bank itself as well. >> It turned out this was not her first time engaging in such behavior. The officers reiterated the seriousness of her actions, but she still appeared to downplay the severity of it. >> We got your ID from last time, too, where you used your other ID when you came here. So, this is the second time. She didn't get any money this time because the account wasn't active, but the last time she got $15,000. People go through things. I get it. But you got a lot of victims here. You taking people You're stealing from several different people. So, what do you [clears throat] think should happen to you? >> There should be a warning. >> Think [music] so. >> A warning? >> You think so? >> Yes. Why do you think that? >> I don't know what I'm doing. >> You do know what you're drawing. You know exactly what you're doing. You did it twice. I'm just I'm being realistic with I'm being as real with you as I can. So, I mean, this that's a lot of money. You can't just swipe that under the carpet. Like, that's $15,000 [music] you stole from somebody. You >> if somebody did that to you, they deserve a warning. They took your money out of your account if they looked on if they had if they had things going on. >> They took money out of your account and you >> to pay it back to that person or something. >> It's not how that works. You can't pay that $15,000 back. That's why you're here. Use somebody else's ID and stole their money. So, that's two things. It's a big deal. This this ru this ruins people's lives, not just yours. But if you come in and take money out of my account and pretend like you're me, you're ruining my credit. You're taking money out of my kids' mouth. Other ways to do stuff. I've been broke before and came up and I didn't go steal nothing. So, did you gave them your real ID? >> No. Officers have. >> No. Did you give your officers your real information? I'm sorry. >> That's my real name. Yes. Okay. >> That's my real name. Yes. >> Came back. >> You ever been arrested before? >> When I was younger. >> What? >> My husband and I got into a fight and I hit him in front of the police. So I get the last stickers on trying to arrest this woman. >> Um he shot himself walking down the street or something in Clayton County and I guess and they have cameras or something and they saw it he got picked up for a warrant. So when they saw that they transferred him to play in town. >> Finally with $8,000 in this incident and $15,000 in the previous [music] one. She was convicted of two counts of financial identity fraud and three counts of financial transaction card fraud. Attempting to justify fraud through personal hardship does not erase accountability. It only highlights how poor choices made under pressure can escalate into serious charges and lasting [music] legal consequences. >> Me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh my goodness. >> For grand theft from theft from Target. Um, but I would have to place handcuffs in the back of my car >> to walk out. Can I walk to your car and then you come? >> Yeah, if I can do that. >> Is that okay? >> On the 12th of February 2025, police were dispatched to the woman's workplace which was believed to be connected to a Target theft case. At that moment, the woman was completely bewildered by the presence of the police. >> Hi. >> Hi. Are you waiting for me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Um, want to go somewhere a little private? >> Uh, we need to go to the mall. >> Sure. >> Sorry. This all opened everywhere. So, our AC is broken. So, can I >> It's going to be hot in here, too. So, >> that's fine. I just I'm trying to spare whatever here. Still, >> okay, >> you're placed under arrest. >> Me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh my goodness. >> For grand theft from theft from Target. So, there's 10 to 18 different times that you have found a Target and paid for items and then did not pay for items and they all have you all in video and photos and all of that. So, right now we are here because you have PC free arrests. >> Okay. >> So, so what does what do I like? Can you just kind of tell me what to do while we do this? >> Yeah. So, I'm telling you that right now. I'm >> I don't want to embarrass you in front of your company, so I'm trying to be nice here about it, >> of course. >> Um, but I would have to place you in handcuffs, put in the back of my car >> to walk out. Can I walk to your car and then you put me in? >> Yeah, if I can do that. Is that okay? >> She was embarrassed when she realized she might be handcuffed and taken out, but showed no real reaction to the theft accusation. She then shifted to concerns about her family, which delayed the investigation. >> So, I can't call anybody now. I just I'm not trying to do anything beyond this. cuz my kids I do have kids. >> Yeah, I I did go to your house. Uh your son's >> homesick with the flu. >> It's okay. I I did ask I didn't know if you were homeer. >> Yeah, you're fine. >> He's middle school, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. He was middle school. That's why I asked. >> How old was your >> seven? And he's probably just getting to the clubhouse. >> That's from the clubhouse. >> Yeah. But like this meeting that I was just in that I got pulled out of as soon as it was over, I normally go home. >> Yeah. Anybody else that can go there for at least the evening? >> Do you have your husband, boyfriend? >> Yeah. I mean, I can call my h if I'm allowed. >> Yeah. We're giving you >> We're giving you the opportunity to call somebody to go to the house for the kids. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, I know he's not home now, but he's like, >> you know, at work, so let him know. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> It's a little different of a situation where other people are >> looking to call somebody and hurt us. So, >> so people are like that. >> To this day, the woman appeared calm and smiling as she faced everything. But in reality, she had caused $3,000 in damages through multiple thefts. And when she called her family, she told a concealed version of events as if trying to preserve her dignity. >> They said for theft at Target for selfch checkout. >> So, No, I'm not pranking you. >> Sorry. No, you're Robert. >> It's probably not the norm. So, he probably he or she >> I just >> Okay. >> But because I they have gone to the house and Dave was there. So, I told them like Scarlet and Jameson are probably getting home from school right now. So they don't call DCF because the kids are home alone, not because we did anything wrong. >> Okay. He said he'll leave now. >> Oh, that's fine. Do >> you have anything here that you need to take out? >> Um like a purse. Um like my card. >> Should I leave? >> I would leave. >> I don't know. I would have to go up with you and I will try and >> No, I didn't leave my car here like tonight or later with that. >> Shortly after her walk of shame began, but she showed no real shame for her actions. Instead, she was mainly concerned about how her co-workers would look at her. >> Yeah. And then you get different clothes. >> Ready? >> Obviously, my car is right there. and doing it as discretional as possible. >> I know all my co-workers. >> Yeah. Um, >> the only way you can get in more trouble now is if you took off running. So, I don't think you're going to do that. So, >> I would not. So, how long does somebody have to stay? >> Um, well, you can bond out as soon as the booking's done. Um, you can, which will just take a few hours. Once they get your vote and all the paperwork's done, it usually takes a few hours. >> So, as long as you have the funds to bond, you can bond out this this afternoon. >> Go home the same day. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Like I could >> You don't have any priors, right? >> No. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Like I could go like to work tomorrow, but people don't do things. >> I should be able to as long as you have to have the money to be able to bond, >> right? And then people can like kind of live in normal until thing. Okay. >> You can do all normal things. It's just right now is the >> this is the moment. >> This is the moment where we unfortunately go in >> through this moment. >> You've been really cooperative. I'm not going to handcuff you in the back. I'll handcuff you in the front. It's policy. I have to handcuff you. So >> whatever. I don't want to. >> Yeah. So I'll you sit down and handcuff you in the front and then I'll give you jail and you literally just get booked process and you're going to give the opportunity to bond or have your husband or something. >> Yep. and then he can work on that. And then >> how do you know how much it is? >> Um I it'll populate in mine, but they should tell you. >> Oh, they'll tell you. Okay. >> The woman never truly admitted her actions, but her concern about her own fate quickly replaced any acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The officer then explained what she could potentially be facing next. >> The problem is is that you're okay. The problem is with that is that I can't give you an NTA a notice to appear because it's above a misdemeanor amount. So, a felony. >> Yeah, that's the problem that I can't just take you uh with a notice to a peer just to see the judge. So, it would be like an arrest without arresting you and taking you to the jail. So, the reason why it's different is because of the level that it's at. So, or I would be >> What is the level that it's at? >> Um I'd have to look at the amount, but I know it's grand theft. >> What is that like? What's the What are the >> It's uh like above 750. >> $750. It's grand theft. >> Yeah. Sounds like a low amount for a big thing. I know. >> I wonder if I'm going to get fired if someone looks it up. I don't know your policy. >> Like if it's a felony felon. >> No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I just don't know. >> You're just getting arrested. That's it. You're not char you're not convicted. You are not The judge does not say you are guilty of everything that you did. You just what we have is probable cause with evidence that you committed the crimes, but it is the judge that is the one that signs off on whether or not you are guilty of a felony or do they take your clean history and do they break it down? Do they give you diversion? >> Finally, the woman was charged with grand theft of up to $3,000. Trying to avoid accountability or shifting focus away from wrongdoing does not erase the evidence. In the end, responsibility must still be faced and consequences come regardless of denial or distraction. >> You place on the resting. >> Yes. >> Turn around. >> For real. >> Turn around. >> Just so I know how this works at home. >> On the 4th of April 2026, police were dispatched to Target after receiving a report that the loss prevention team had detained a 39 years old woman named Karine Sysler for shoplifting. Officers quickly arrived at the scene. And this is what happened next. >> Wayne, I just want to let you know my camera's >> No problem. So, this is the receipt for her. Um, so basically what she did, she went to selfch checkout and just didn't pay for all those. Like she paid for this stuff, but not a bunch of other stuff. >> Okay. >> Um, every time, so that's why we call you guys. >> Okay. The primary officer should be here shortly, but I'll write down your stuff. No problem. Never in my entire life. >> The woman allegedly took advantage of the selfch checkout to leave several items unpaid. Her method was also exposed by the loss prevention team through the store's surveillance footage. >> Do the statement. >> The statement. >> Yeah, >> I can I can do it. Thank you. So, whenever you're ready. >> Mhm. >> Can I I can send you this video, too. >> Um, so this is actually >> Yeah. So, we have the the portal that you guys uploaded to. So, it scans some of the stuff >> and then there's some stuff that she's just not going to remove period at all. >> That one's ticket switch. Actually, she put a different tag on that one. >> It fell on the floor and I didn't realize it. >> This one there. She couldn't find it. This one she doesn't scan [snorts] >> the other thing on the bottom. She She doesn't scan the duets. Well, >> the woman was also found to live in an $891,000 home. Yet, her greed still led her to steal $149 worth of merchandise. With her guilt now clear, the officers decided to take action. >> You guys You guys have your own trespass form? >> Yeah, you have. >> Okay. All done. Okay. >> Yeah. >> You have ID on you? >> I have it. >> You have it? Okay. Perfect. All right. Stand up. You place on the resting thing. Really? >> Yes. >> Turn around. >> For real. >> Turn around. >> Turn around. >> I'm like going to like the jail. >> You come to our headquarters. Yes. >> Turn around. >> Like, can we just do in the front? >> Also, this stuff. Um, what should we do? What you guys doing? >> Do you have a car here? You do. I could put it. >> Yeah. So, we could put it in your car. Um and then you ever been arrested before? >> No. >> No. Okay. So, then you'll probably get released on its [snorts and music] so we'll bring you back here and you just go to court. >> So, all this stuff >> you want to just have it down. The woman was taken to the patrol car shortly after. She appeared worried about what was happening and even when she smiled, [music] it seemed forced. >> R609. >> I'm 39. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm 39. >> No. So, >> oh, >> so 41 means um it's like our code for somebody under arrest. >> Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. Got it. So, uh, when you bring me down, just so I know how this works, I have three kids at home and my husband literally kill me. >> Um, >> will you drive me back here? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's fine. So, I tell everybody this and I don't see you giving me a problem at all, but the easier you work with me, >> the quicker I am. I'm willing to be >> So, um, I'll let you make a phone call inside. >> Um, but when we get inside, I'm going to do some basic paperwork. I'll do your your fingerprints and pictures and then do another half hour worth of paperwork and then you should be done. All right. The woman was charged with shoplifting. The lesson here is that trying to exploit selfch checkckout does not make theft harder to detect. Surveillance cameras and loss prevention teams can expose the entire scheme, turning what may seem like an easy shortcut into serious legal consequences. >> I was happy to see what she like concealed. >> It's the glove she's wearing. And then there's some sustain. [music] On the 15th of February 2025, police received a call from Walmart reporting that they had caught a woman committing theft inside the store. Her actions were still ongoing. And when officers arrived at the scene, they were able to witness everything through the surveillance cameras. >> Hello. Hello. >> If you could wear she has them right there in her hand. Only the white vehicle is everyone is appears to be just >> No, it's not something the other ones. Look at her hand. >> Under her arm. Does she have right there? >> So, she's with that dude. >> Yeah. >> The male had a bandana. I don't know. It could have kept the >> You guys happy to see what she like concealed? It's the glove she's wearing. And then there's some sunglasses she has. >> The gloves she's wearing. >> Yeah. It looks like bandages, but I guess they're gloves. >> 25. >> $3 item. He has something too, but I don't I'm on him. Does the paper or the paper? >> Oh, sorry. >> Log you guys want to she charges trespass or >> not sure it was like >> Well, they're thinking she's trespassed already, so they're trying to find that. >> But she does have those two items charges for those. >> Um, yeah. >> Hopefully they don't go off, though. >> They might show you to like London. There's an exit in automotive. >> It's that door. It's just that door. We're >> going to try to go out through. >> The moment they attempted to leave through the store's back exit, [music] they were stopped by the loss prevention officers. They were then taken to the loss prevention office after being placed in handcuffs. Go ahead, turn around. Yes. I'll be reporting more to the original arrest. >> You're being detained fair enough. >> Okay. Here's a They have a receipt for it. >> Why am I being detained? >> For shoplifting. >> I was not shoplifting. next door. >> You're saying this is what you bought today? >> Yes. What color is it? >> The woman denied committing theft, but she later explained her actions, which were considered conduct that could result in her arrest. >> So, the reason we're here is because you're saying that you were concealing >> on your person. So concealing means that you're like hiding things like inside of your toe. >> All right. So they did tell us that you were um concealing some items. So you were observed on the video camera. >> Okay. But you can check right there. I I didn't I did. >> Okay. And everything that's on you? >> Yes. >> Is yours nothing from the store? >> No, this is my mine. >> Yes. I didn't take anything. Did buy? >> He he they're back over there. >> Back where I was I had him on and I took him off. >> Okay. Where'd you leave them? >> I didn't leave them nowhere. I left where the where the gloves and everything that I left them there >> like on in the store out outside the store? >> On the on the rack. I put them on and look at I didn't like them, so I threw them back in there. I don't have it. You could check. I don't have no gloves. Those are the only two things I bought. He bought for me. >> I put them back on the rack. >> Yeah, but no, I put it back on the rack. And they got her offer. >> I didn't have him outside. >> I didn't take him outside. >> I didn't. >> You understand this is an arrestable offense. >> So your level of cooperation is going to determine whether you >> It was clear that this woman did not realize that her actions were considered a crime. On top of that, she had already been trespassed from the store and she confirmed shortly afterward that she knew about it. >> Do you know you've been trespassed from him before? >> Yes. Like did they tell him what happened when he came back? that I'll get a ticket or something. I have to make >> I didn't even receive. I didn't walk out the store. >> I gave back to him. He said to give it back to him. So, I gave back to him. Who told you to give it back to you guys? >> Did you say when you were exiting right now? Is that when you gave it to your >> I didn't walk out the store though. >> I'm sorry. Is that the only Is that the only thing you >> bought those right there? >> That means that you can't be in the parking lot. You can't go to this Walmart to shop. You're no longer welcome at this Walmart. They want you on the property. >> I heard I said he said he doesn't know anything. A lot like her. The man was determined to have no knowledge of the woman's actions, and the store employees confirmed that. Shortly afterward, the officers explained what he would have to face based on the store's decision. >> Okay, so they're going to want you trespass from their property. Okay, that means that you can't be in the parking lot. You can't come to this Walmart to shop. You're no longer welcome at this Walmart. They don't want you on the property. If they find you on the property shopping, >> what what did I do? >> It's because you're with a individual who's known to shop with. She's already been trespassed. She they have a trespassing card for her. So it's kind of like who you hang out with obviously and they just don't want that kind of company around. Okay. So you're not able to shop here. That's unlimited. So if they come back in 5 years with this and they want to pursue charges for that, you can get cited or arrested for for the trespassing. Okay. >> All right. Do you understand? >> All right. Just let me clear up the rest of it and then you'll be free to take these items and then probably head out. Excuse me. Jail. I won't come back over here again. Well, this guy I him. He said he doesn't know anything about like her and stuff like that. They just want to trust us. >> Did you guys come together? >> Yeah. >> The woman tried to plead for herself after seeing the man being released, but it was clearly impossible. She showed no sign of remorse and even resisted before being taken away. >> I got it. Go ahead and stand up at 1756. >> Here, put your hands behind. I will go into your pock. I don't need you to go into your box. >> Going into your box. >> All right. All right. Stop. >> Stop. Yes. >> You're going to be >> You need to stop. You need to stop. >> All right. >> Hello. >> [snorts] >> Do you have leggings underneath this? >> Yes. >> Switch me or you go. >> So, you want to switch me or you got that pocket? I haven't checked that pocket. >> My cell phone and all my stuff. You're being searched. Okay. We can go ahead without anything else. >> In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting and trespassing. This case shows that denying wrongdoing does not erase the evidence. [music] Ignoring a trespass order and continuing illegal actions can turn a simple theft investigation into much more serious consequences. >> If you're mentally ill, you shouldn't be spitting at people. I'm a >> Is that the housekeep? >> On the 23rd of March, 2025, officers were dispatched to a Buffalo Wild Wings after receiving reports of a woman causing a disturbance inside the restaurant. To understand exactly what she did, listen to the staff's statements as they describe the shocking incident in detail. >> Yeah, boss man. Good thing you got gloves. She's full of pee, flipping everybody out, cussing. Yeah, shut the bar. She's being nasty, man. >> She peed all over the floor. Boss, >> started cussing out the manager. >> Okay. Yeah, >> bar. She's >> There's a lady at the bar. She seems like she's on drugs or something. She took her pants off in the middle of the bar and peed all over the floor. Um, she's been spitting at people. while she's spitting at me [laughter] and >> she's Yeah, she's going to be in the blue shirt, but I'd be very careful. She's pissed herself all over the floor. >> I know where that is. I don't know her name, though. [laughter] >> At first, I just thought she pulled her hands down, but I actually realized she was urinating as I was talking to her. So, then I asked her to pull her pants back up and let go, and she's just absolutely refusing. And then um I guess you just spit at everybody at everybody. >> Did he get No, I didn't. I was. Yeah. Okay. >> Do you know her? >> I don't know her name, but I know she's at the theater. She lives right here somewhere. >> Immediately afterward, the officers approached the woman who was still sitting in the middle of the nightmare she had created for the restaurant. Without hesitation, they made their decision. Hello, ma'am. Can you step up? >> Step up. >> Come on. >> Stand up. >> Stand up. >> Careful. You're going to follow your feet. >> Wait, your pants up. Pull your pants up. >> Take a step up. Her leg. >> Okay. Come on. Is this yours? >> Huh? >> Okay. Come on. Come on. >> We're going to go over there. >> I am crazy. >> Do you have your ID on you? >> I'm mentally ill. >> Have a seat. >> Have a seat in there. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm mentally ill. >> You're mentally ill. >> What are you diagnosed with? >> I'm mentally ill. >> Okay. Have a seat. >> Have a seat. >> Have a seat. And then you can swing your feet in. >> Come in. >> I am mentally ill. >> Okay, get in the car. >> You might believe she was suffering from a mental illness that caused her behavior, but that was only the excuse she relied on. The officers had other evidence suggesting she was fully aware of what she was doing. >> Come here, take a seat. >> I'm mentally ill. >> Okay. If you're mentally ill, you shouldn't be spitting at people. >> I was You were spitting at nobody. >> No idea. Okay, have a seat. >> Have a seat. Come in. We don't have time. >> I think >> Oh my god. My gosh. >> Samantha, what's your last name? >> Archeletta. >> Archeletta. >> What's your date of birth? >> I don't remember. >> Yes, you remember. What's your date of birth? >> I don't remember. >> So, you know, you have to give us your name and [clears throat] date of birth, right? >> That's concealing identity. What's your date of birth? >> I'm not sure. >> You're not sure? >> No. >> So, you know you're mentally ill, but you don't know your >> Yes, I'm mentally ill. >> What are you diagnosed with? >> I'm mentally ill. >> What are you diagnosed with? >> I'm mentally ill. >> Do you identify? >> That's not a diagnosis. >> I'm mentally ill. >> That's a statement. >> It doesn't matter. I'm good. >> Huh? >> I am mentally ill. I am mentally ill. >> Did you buy any drinks from the bar? >> I'm mentally ill. I am mentally ill. It doesn't matter. >> Okay. Well, then it looks like you're going to go to jail. >> Even more telling, the woman soon began pleading with the officers over her case, raising even more suspicion that she had been pretending to be mentally ill. >> You're not Samantha. You're Sandra. >> Can I go home? >> Well, you're going to get charges for concealing. You don't care. >> No. Okay. Ready? Step out of the car. Okay. doing. Sandra, >> GG, >> I can't hear you. >> We can take the cuffs off once you get out. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm mentally ill. >> Okay, step by car. You're drunk as well. Come here. I'll help you out. Step. Step. We're going to go that way to the hood. Right here. You're going to receive a citation. Okay. Just wait. >> Okay. You see that citation >> right here? >> Right here. Here. You have to sign it. >> Sign it. >> I'll just leave me alone. >> Okay. Sign this. Grab the pen. >> If you don't sign it, then you're for sure going this to jail. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me tell you where. >> Right here. >> Where that empty line is. >> Okay. Thank you. That's yours. >> Take that. >> If you don't go to court, you have to go to court by 3 days. By Wednesday, if you don't go to court, a warrant is going to be issued for your arrest. Okay. I know you're so drunk that you're not going to remember. >> I want to go home. >> Okay. Okay. I want to put your stuff in there. >> The officers were convinced the woman was intoxicated, not suffering from the condition she claimed. They then helped escort her home, but even then, [music] she never seemed willing to drop the act >> on the other side. Come on. Let's go. >> Come on. You're going to go home. >> We're not going to leave you [clears throat] out here. >> Here. Come on. >> It hurts [laughter] so bad. That hurts. my head. >> Okay. Well, let's go to your apartment. >> My head. [laughter] >> Okay. You're almost home. I'm almost home. >> There. Go. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> We're going to wait till you go inside. >> Make sure you get inside. Okay. >> I'm crazy. >> You're not crazy. >> I'm mentally ill. >> Okay. >> Get inside. Is that the house key? >> Yes, >> this one is. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Step to the side. >> Right here. >> Step over. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. We save time. >> Don't forget to go to court. >> You have the paperwork right there >> on your hand. >> The woman was charged with criminal trespass and concealing identity. A single reckless decision can damage your credibility and pretending to avoid responsibility often makes the consequences even worse. >> I will just say um I didn't know I was taking I'm an obstitrician gynecologist. >> It's a stealing that be that's some be out of the norm for you, right? >> On the 1st of January 2026, officers were dispatched to an airport after receiving a report that a theft had occurred at one of the stores. The suspect was believed to be a woman who had already left the store after successfully stealing the merchandise. Here's what the store employee told officers about what happened. >> Where was it stolen? >> Here. There's one customer coming. She's standing here for our earrings and she check out the earrings. Uh, only one. I asked her if she grabbed two and she asked she told me that only one. So I check out there are two earrings. There is one missing in the earrings. >> Okay. >> Because for one while standing here there is another customer coming. She asked me something that's why I'm talking to while she's standing here. Then after that talking the other customer she check out. She are you mom are you ready to check out? And she said yes. While also talking the other customer, she also come here to look for our bracelet. So there is one bracelet and one earring missing. I don't know if she's the one because while I'm checking in, there is another customer again coming here asking for the ring. Yes. But I think the one mug grab the one who bought the earring is the one mug grab also the one earring. I'm not sure with this uh >> Do you have like a log of inventory? >> Yes, I found all those around 1:30 and she came here around 210 like that. I check him her out 2:30. Let me call my supervisor because she's proving the >> Based on the store's description, officers quickly located the suspect inside the airport. They immediately approached her and began questioning her about the reported theft. >> Can we Can we talk to you for a second? >> Sure. >> You can we just talk over here? >> Do you know why we're talking to you? >> Uhuh. >> Were you in Kate Spade earlier? >> I was. >> Did you take something that didn't belong to you? >> No. >> Are you sure? >> Yes. >> Okay. Cuz our Our cameras tracked it. They said that you may have picked some up that wasn't that wasn't yours. >> I picked something up and I put it back down. >> What was it that you picked up? >> Um, some gold earrings. >> Okay. Were you going to pick? >> Uh, he's coming with gold earrings. Were they anything else? A bracelet. >> I picked up rings that I wanted to purchase, but they did not have my size. >> Okay. >> Not a bracelet. >> No. I looked at a bracelet, but I put it >> right back down. >> Everything that you picked up, you put back down. You didn't accidentally didn't take anything or >> No, I was trying to buy a Trinity earring where they located >> rings. >> What kind of earrings were they? >> They were kind of >> I think gold one. >> Uh-huh. >> Okay. >> Okay. Well, I mean, so here's the thing. They're missing a couple of items. And you were in the area, >> y'all were really the only two that were in the store. >> Two. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Although she denied stealing anything, she correctly identified the exact items the store had reported missing. To be certain, the officers proceeded to search her belongings. >> Do you mind if we just look through your stuff, make sure you don't have this uh items? >> Sure. >> They said like it's in her pocket. >> Yeah. She said when she when she's in there like she put it in her pocket, but they said she you went a lot of places since she came from Kate. So >> yeah, but there's nothing in my pockets. >> Okay. It looked like you put something in your pockets in the store. Okay. >> And then you're saying like you're not sure if you put something in there. >> I don't know if I had had my own earrings on at that point. I I put them on some at some point. >> So you're not sure if you put your own earrings on from here from when you left Case Bay to now? >> These are mine. They're and they're a different brand. >> Okay. Well, I'm going to go through your belongings real quick. Okay. >> Ma'am, just Come on. Step out. Step back. Step back. >> What are you looking for? >> I'm pulling out all my money and stuff. >> We're not going to take the money. >> We're not going to take go. >> We're just going to step over here. Let's go over there. >> Okay. >> Step back. >> Yeah. Just right over here. It was just some space. That's all. >> Okay. All right, >> Sharon, go stand over there. >> The woman repeatedly tried to interfere with the search, which immediately raised suspicion. She even began making statements that sounded like she was preparing excuses in advance in case the officers actually found something in her bag. >> I mean, I have some of those pieces. I buy tons of Kate Spade. >> Okay. So, you have some K spade in your bag right now is what you're saying, but it's not theirs. >> I think it's in my main suitcase. >> You think it's in your Where in your main suitcase in the front? your checked bag or >> my checked bag. >> Okay. >> Why are you bringing that? Why are you bringing your check bag up right now? We're talking about stuff that could be in this bag in these bags. >> Okay. I mean, I do buy some case spade. I was pricing some of the things to see. >> Do you have any case spade in there right now? >> No, I don't believe so. >> What? >> But you do have jewelry in the bag. saying >> um I pulled out a small jewelry case that has um Kate Spade earrings in them. >> Okay. Is that where you were just reaching in your bag? >> No, I pulled that uh it's a thing that drawstring. >> Okay. But other than that, there should be no other jewelry in there. >> Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I packed very quickly this morning. I packed all my jewelry, but I don't think there's anything in there. >> What do you do for a living? >> I'm an obstatrician gynecologist, and I'm um working in underserved areas in New Mexico. >> Okay. So, >> I've been down here for a year working. >> Okay. So, like stealing that'd be that's something be out of the norm for you, right? She claimed to be a doctor, someone who should have had no reason to shoplift. But [snorts] unfortunately for her, the officers noticed something suspicious inside her food pack, and the truth slowly began to unravel. >> What is it that she took? >> She's giving us >> I don't got the I don't got the jewelry. I got the >> She's giving us down. Come here. >> Where where are they at? >> We just dropped the >> So those I did not buy here. >> Um >> so I have those. >> So why would I have the same skew number 2299261 KS? Look, KS ropes not PV K&T pink. >> Why? Where are they at? >> This will go a lot quicker if you can just tell us where they're at. >> All right, I'll tell you. I have the similar things that I picked up. But >> ma'am, the coincidence. >> Okay, I am happy. >> What? >> I didn't take them. I have jewelry exactly like what I looked at. I'm happy to >> give I mean give you my >> She insisted it was all just a coincidence, but her hesitant responses only made her story harder to believe. Moments later, she pulled out the stolen item herself and came up with another unbelievable excuse. >> All righty. >> So, these I had. >> Okay. But if and I did pick those up and I looked at them to check the price >> and then you left without paying for them. >> No, I put them back on the rack, but I don't remember putting them in my purse. I have that same set. >> See how this doesn't make sense? You put them back on the rack, but the these earrings fell into five zippers into your bag. So, I was put late era is putting on jewelry and I >> Where's the bracelets? >> They're missing bracelets as well. I was surprising. >> Okay. Well, I priced that same bracelet. This is I purchased this in love. >> There it is. >> This is >> That's the one they're they're missing. >> It was clear that she had been putting on an innocent act the entire time. The officers quickly brought her performance to an end. >> Sharon, listen. Just be honest, okay? You're hawk. Oh, please. Just be honest. What happened? If you made a mistake, you made a mistake. >> Okay. >> Just tell us what happened. Be honest. >> Just put that I made a mistake. >> You made a mistake and what happened? >> Pieces. >> You made a mistake and did what? >> You did you take something that didn't belong to you? >> I didn't think I had. But >> you're you're a grown woman. >> But I will say yes. I'm a grownup. I've been up 36 hours on call. Okay. Um, >> we don't need the excuses. >> I will just say um I didn't know I was taking them. >> You going to Kansas? >> Yes. >> Waw, Kansas. All right. Turn around. >> Yeah. >> I'm going to miss my flight. >> You said you're going to miss your flight. You're going to jail. Sharon, >> can I pack myself up? >> We will do it for you. >> We'll do all that. >> Just that problem. >> My computer needs to be packed. >> Everything that you took? Well, not everything you took. >> You have to put the cuffs on. >> Yes. >> You're under arrest. her policy, >> but we can go stand over here. >> In the end, the woman was charged with theft of property. Shoplifting often unravels, not because of a single mistake, but because lies become harder to maintain as the evidence piles up. Taking responsibility early is always a better choice than trying to explain away clear proof. >> Just couldn't afford it at my expense at the moment and it's just been like really tough. I have a >> cold. So, what what's the deal? What? What happened? >> On the 15th of January, 2022, officers responded to a report of a woman being detained by Walmart's loss prevention office for suspected shoplifting. But the bruise beneath her eye suggested there was more to the story. When officers arrived, she admitted everything. >> Honestly took what I wasn't mind, and I just scan and I shouldn't have and I should have paid for it all. To be very honest, there's no excuse. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. We appreciate the honesty. You're the first one to be honest about it. >> I mean, it's all it's all on video. So, >> like that. >> Really? Any reason as to why? >> I just couldn't afford it. I'm going through stamps at the moment and it's just been like really tough. I have a sick daughter. >> This isn't going to help your situation at all. >> I know. My daughter is actually home right now with a awful fever and a her babysitter and it's just been like awful. Like we've just been going through a very tough time. >> How old is your daughter? >> She's two. >> She's two. Okay. >> So I just I'm not going to cry. >> Yeah. Just been a tough time for us and I was just trying to make her feel better honestly. But >> look at me real quick. Okay, we'll we'll have a conversation after this. >> Do you think she used her situation to gain sympathy? As if she was preparing to beg for leniency. She even became upset with [music] the employee for calling the police shortly afterward. >> You literally told me, Tim, that you didn't call the police. >> No, you told her. I get it. It's a job, but it's just a conversation of I even when it happened and I spoke, we talked about it. Look, we're we're beyond that, okay? >> Obviously, >> they have a job to do, okay? You still committed a crime, okay? >> And I'm aware of that. I'm fully aware of that. It's just the communication has been completely clear up until this point. So, that's my only issue that I'm having. >> You know, I hate it for you. >> No, that's like I said, I understand your situation, but you know better. >> Yeah. >> And you got caught and now you got to face the consequences, right? So, look, like I was saying, it's not a state charge. It's a city ordinance, which means it's not going on your record. Okay? Problem is now you have an established history. Okay. So, if you do this again >> and you get caught, it's going to be pulled up. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I think so. >> So, your daughter's too. >> What's your daughter's name? >> Alyssa. >> Alyssa. Okay. Are you in Roswell? >> Yeah. >> You are? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Do you have any family in the area? >> Where you from? >> Pennsylvania. >> Pennsylvania. >> She repeatedly wiped away her tears, but they weren't tears of remorse for what she had done. Instead, she remained upset, insisting that the employee had lied to her. >> This is your This is your come to Jesus moment. Okay. >> No, it's not. It's very aggravating because this guy told me that I was waiting for a [ __ ] manager. No, I am going to blame him because he lied. I'd rather him have been honest and be like, "Okay, they are going to come. That's why you're waiting instead of me having to waste my money on an Uber that sat outside for literally 15 minutes and now you're telling like and now you're here. Like this is what's my problem." Like instead of that, I would have cancelled it. [snorts] Like it's just I don't like when people like if you're going to be honest, I'm already in a situation. I told you the truth. Like I don't understand why you telling me that. I'm waiting for a manager that literally never showed up and now you guys are here. That's my issue. Like, and I feel like I have the right to be upset because I'm being lied to about something when I've been completely honest up until this point. Like until this point, I'm still honest. Like you I knew that I did something wrong. Like that's what I don't understand. Why not just be freaking honest? If your guys are going to come, then fine. I can let my babysitter know who I'm literally trying to get home to so I can go to the hospital to take my daughter. Now I have to go to court and spend extra money that I literally don't have. Like this is very aggravating. She still couldn't escape the consequences of her actions. While her difficult circumstances appeared to be genuine, she clearly could have chosen a different path to overcome them, couldn't she? The officers also offered her advice and guidance to help her move forward. >> As far as that goes, look, I'm going to tell you this. There are things that you can do. There are shelters for women and they'll take in kids too with you, okay? I don't know who did it. I don't know if it was family. I don't know if it was ex-lover, current lover, whatever, but there are resources out there for that. Okay? And there are certain things that you can do like if you ever wanted to file a report wherever it happened, you can file a report there. And then [snorts] you can take that report to a magistrate judge and magistrate court and start the process for a temporary protection order. Okay. All right. Hey, Kyle, look at me. Look at me. I know it's hard. I know it's hard. Hey, but there are things you can do. There are resources out there for you. All right. And the quicker you can get out of whatever situation, the better life will get for you. You're going to you're going to have to bust your hump for it. But you want to try to get out of that. Okay. and let's let's try to get out of doing this kind of stuff because this isn't going to help you at all. It's going to make things more difficult than they already are and you don't need to do that, especially with a sick 2-year-old. Okay. >> Okay. Let's get you out of here. >> There's your license. >> And you're also you're not being trespassed from the property. You just have to wait 24 hours before you can come back. Okay. >> [snorts] >> With just $51.59 worth of merchandise, she was charged with shoplifting, but was not banned from returning to Walmart. She was also released shortly afterward. What do you think about this case? Do you believe the officers made the right decision? And how would you have handled the situation if you were in their position? Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments. >> Isn't that weird? I'm looking to see if stuff is stolen at after you just stole. >> No, I take it seriously enough. So the the clothes and stuff I wanted to dig in to try and decipher. >> One of the police confirmed that >> on the 12th of June 2023, police were dispatched to the parking lot of a Dillard store after receiving a report that four women suspected of stealing several designer handbags worth thousands of dollars were attempting to leave. [music] As soon as deputies approached, the suspects immediately and coincidentally all claimed they were not carrying any ID. >> Resuming 91. >> You guys speak English? >> No, we don't have ID. We don't have >> All right. So, what's So, what's going to happen? >> Get off the phone. Off the phone. What's What's going to happen is I'm going to get names and I'm going to get names and date of birth from everyone. >> If I find out someone's lying, straight to jail. All right. Not playing around with you guys. >> Okay. >> I need IDs now. >> No. >> Okay. >> It's hot. >> Nope. Don't care. I don't know. >> Okay, T 17. I'm going to be closer to the uh to the Macy's. It's occupied four times. >> And can I get a 44, please? >> All right. What's your name? Can I copy? Let me know if you need help. I'm sorry. County 109 on your last channel. >> I'm good. Thank you. What is it? >> You can turn the car off, but just keep this door open. Hold on. Hold on. Open this door first. Just blast the AC so the kids get air and I'll have you step out. Okay. Yeah, you can step out for now. >> How do you spell your first name? >> M I C H E M E. >> At that point, the deputy directly confronted them with the suspicions, all of which were based on the evidence that had already been reviewed. Unsurprisingly, the suspects showed no reaction beyond denying any wrongdoing. What's going on is you guys stole some bags. Okay, >> they're all dead. >> Okay, I have video of it, so you can say that if you want, but if you want to play that game, we can start playing that if you want. >> I have video footage of it. Okay, >> so we're going to go from there. We're going to see exactly what was taken. I mean, there's plenty of bags here. >> I'm sure there's no receipts for any of them, and I'm sure they're going to match exactly what was stolen, and then we're going to go from there. Okay. So, we're probably going to have we're confirming we're probably going to have charges on one, two, and three. And then, uh, it just depends if we have grand theft or this, you know. So, let me ID them. I'm just waiting for him to get back to me. Hand me all that, please. >> All the stuff that's down here. >> Okay, I'm going to look at it. You can hand me that, too. >> Get up. Sit down. um you do have an ambulance 701 road, >> but the recovered merchandise indirectly confirmed their involvement. Even [music] more damaging, the deputy later found one suspect's ID, the very ID she had previously claimed she did not have. >> That's weird. It's like I just asked you for your ID and you say you didn't have it. >> I didn't know it right now. >> That's weird. All that could have been avoided if you just hand me your ID that was next to you. >> Oh, I didn't know it was like there. >> Yeah, >> y'all got my [ __ ] like not like my life. Open this up again, please. Oh. Um, hand me that stuff. Both of those. >> Okay, I'll check. >> You see, you see it's not real. It's old. >> It is old, but it looks like it's never been used. Do you have a receipt for it? >> It's in the car. >> Okay. I need to confirm that it's not stolen. I'll look at that one, too. >> If you thought the suspects had already handed over all of the stolen merchandise, they had not. They were still hiding more items. And the moment the deputy opened the trunk, [music] everything became clear. >> Can we go? >> It's weird. The trunk doesn't open. >> Can you hand me that water, sir? >> Yeah. >> Sir, can I get that water? >> There you go. Look. >> Well, all right. >> I know. >> So, the the clothes and stuff I wanted to begin to try and decipher. >> One of the employees confirmed that she was inside. She was inside with another with another female. >> Okay. >> I'm looking through the video now. >> Yeah. Just let me know which ones took the the colog cuz I think that's the only Macy's stuff we found. Unless one of these comes back to you guys. >> So, I will check them and if they don't scan with us, I'll bring them back. No problem. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. No, that will help. >> Sorry to make you stand here in the heat. I don't enjoy it either, but I appreciate you. >> Yeah, they came back twice. They went to dealers once, shoplift, came back 2 hours later, took more stuff, and then they took stuff from the Macy's. So, they're just on a little spree right now with kids, too. It's ridiculous. I should not put my hands outside. >> The the clothes I would just like I I'm not going to go through all those. Just the purses, the main stuff. >> You want to take those three with me, too? >> Um, >> yeah. Okay. So, once let's figure out which ones are yours from these from this group. >> In addition, after verifying the woman in the blue shirt's information, deputies discovered [music] she had an active arrest warrant, prompting them to immediately place her under arrest. >> Sorry. Can I step in one more time, please? Let's go over the car here. You got a warrant. So, he'll he'll put you in handcuffs and send you in his car. Okay. You have nothing else on you? >> Yeah. >> We'll we'll figure that out in just a bit. Okay. All right. Here. Come over here. Your back, please. Just an FTA, I believe. We'll look at it further. But you miss out of Hill. >> I go and put hands on your back. So I I would do it as if you were praying like this. No. Yeah. It's way more comfortable. Come over here for you. You got anything on you? Any weed? Anything like that? No. It's okay. You know what the warrant was for? No. All right. You can't be doing stuff like this. You know what I'm saying? Or else you just It's never going to stop. That's the issue. Well, you're young, so you got you got time to change. All right. Where you living right now? The four women were charged with theft. The woman in the blue shirt was additionally taken into custody on her outstanding warrant and charged with violating her probation. No crime exists in isolation. One illegal act has a way of exposing every other lie, every [music] hidden secret, and every consequence waiting behind it. >> The subject uh doing return fraud for $1,467 here. >> Yes. Okay. >> So, you have a one-year ban um if you step foot on property at all. That's including the Lela Center. >> On the 13th of August, 2025, police received a call from Nordstrom reporting that one of its employees had committed return fraud there across three different days. To uncover the full details, listen to the store's loss prevention employee give a statement about the case. >> For the three dates, three different dates, we have the subject uh doing return fraud for $1,467. >> Yes. >> Okay. Uh we have a written statement. He admitted to everything already. He understands what's happening. He understands he's getting prosecuted, please. Uh he knows he is uh not he is trespassed and that we know he is uh not he is trespassed and that we are filing charges. >> Okay. Uh Neil will be the one signing charges on this case. >> Okay. Uh what do you need from us? >> Um he has video. I know that. >> Okay. Uh do you guys have a >> the statement we can't use? We would have to write out the statement for you guys. This can't leave the company. >> Gotcha. I will get you a form to fill out then. >> Is this a statement from >> Yes, that's Put that down, please. >> No, put that down. >> You can't use your phone either. No, I can't can't use your phone right now either. Thank you. Please remain seated right there. >> Let me get Neil. All right. The suspect was also believed to have admitted everything which allowed the police to immediately take action. >> Bring your hand behind your back for me. >> Put the back of your hands together, please. >> Uh, it's not going to be like that. It was always multiple days and it's return fraud. So, we went an internal. >> Okay. would like to ask you a few. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Tell me what happened. >> I need to get a booking photo, too. >> One day, my friend, >> she sent me a receipt that wasn't mine. And basically, when I returned the cuz I was trying to return shoes. Once I returned um once I was trying to return my shoes, something went wrong and basically was like $320. My shoes were paying like 75. So I just basically was like whatever. Like I just was going to chalk it up to luck and then I figured well if she did it accidentally I could just do it on purpose. So then I just >> did it like more and with no item. You just rang out returns. You just ran up returns for with no items. >> Like customer like if a customer came in, I would just use their old um information like if they had something from like uh 2 years ago or a year ago or something really old like obviously they possibly wouldn't want to return. I would just return that. The man showed no visible sign of remorse even though just two or three fraudulent actions had already resulted in a significant amount of money being discovered quickly. >> So when you [clears throat] were talking to him, you were talking about the three transactions we talking about >> one accident other two. >> Okay. So what we have him signed on and what we'll be prosecuting on is the three that we talked about with him. [snorts] So it would be the 1,400 and >> so we we kept extra money from one legitimate return and then facilitated two >> three. So the first one was they're all another customer's >> sales that were used for a return not he was due none of the funds. >> Okay. So, >> and then [snorts] there's >> 320. So, equally 14. >> So, was he was he like >> So, basically what he did is he took a customer came in did a transaction later that day he would use that transaction receipt. You know how you would return an item if you don't want it >> to pretend as if they were coming back? >> Pretend return it to a gift card and then used it at other places. He did that for all three times. >> Did you Okay. Did he return it to gift card credit for Nordstrom? >> Yes. Did he use them here or did he use them elsewhere? >> Uh, he used them online and for the ebar which is a part of Nordstrom. >> Okay. Nordstrom will respond. >> Uh, while we're waiting, uh, the mall is here. I guess they will be banning you from the mall. [clears throat] Just that and he needs to get a couple details from you. The total confirmed amount reached over $1,467, making it clear the man would not easily escape accountability. At that point, the police made their decision. >> All right, so you will have a one-year ban. Um, if you step foot on property at all, that's including the LLA Center. Um, you will be arrested for criminal trespassing. >> Um, and I do have to get a photo for our records as well. So, just remember it's one year from the entire mall, two years from >> um they'll have a copy once they take you and everything like that. Can I just get >> two? Everything's okay. >> Appreciate Appreciate it. >> [snorts] >> All right. [snorts] >> That that's a typical. >> Okay. The man was charged with multiple counts of theft. His actions show that exploiting return systems for quick gain can quickly escalate into serious criminal charges. Even small repeated frauds can build into significant liability and consequences. >> Hurry up and get here. I I was recording him. Hold on. I was still recording him. I said hit you where? The next video. I said hit you where? Do >> you have a video of her grabbing your arm? >> No, I don't. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Give me >> right there. On the 29th of August 2025, police had received a report of a disturbance at a Love's gas station with the initial cause believed to be a conflict between two people over playing music. And to clarify further, the statements from those involved in the incident are presented here. >> Mercedes um pulled up here kind of real belligerent type thing. Got out. Her radio was blaring loud. I said, "Ma'am, do you really need to have that that loud?" She goes, "You're a racist bastard." I said, "Uh, there ain't nothing racist about me." I said, "You're just disturbing everybody's peace." She goes, "Everybody here loves me. They don't care if I play it loud, quiet, or whatever." >> 23. >> I said, "There ain't no need for you to act that way." And your dispatcher heard her yelling and screaming at me. The only reason I called, she said, "I'm going to put you on social media. you're a racist bastard. And then grab my arm. >> I said you can't put hands on people. >> Okay. >> That ain't that ain't right. And I told your dispatcher, I said, "That's the only reason there in the purple." >> Yep. >> Okay. >> And that's the only reason I called you guys. >> Okay. >> And I asked your uh dispatcher to expedite you guys because when she grabbed my arm, I'm like, "Okay, what's she going to do next?" >> That's the only reason I did. I did a I she walked around my vehicle right before that and when she after she did that I backed up and I stayed away from that. >> Yeah, that's her in purple. >> Let's stay over there. I'll talk to you over there. >> The officer then approached the woman involved in the incident and her demeanor was completely the opposite, further indicating the heightened tension from the earlier confrontation. >> Let's walk up here. So, we're >> said they can show you their camera gentlemen. >> Hey, listen. Listen, listen. Let's walk up here and talk so we're away from him cuz it'll probably upset. >> I mean, Believe me, I don't know what else couldn't upset him. >> So, what happened? >> So, I get I've been parked here for the past few hours, but I'm going to see I was parked over there cuz I'm going to see my son at college. >> Um, this black my my my sister Mercedes. >> Yeah, my sister over there as well. So, >> we were literally parked pulled pulled over to the gas station. My sister opens her car door. She's on the dark side. I get out the car as well. He was already done pumping. The door opens. We have R&B music playing. Not even loud. We come here all the time. They know. They were just in there like what? They said he came in. I rate already. He has standing in his car door and goes, "Turn that off now. You're disturbing my peace." I said, "Excuse me?" I said, "I'm not even doing anything to you. What are you talking about?" >> He goes, "Turn it off now." You heard what I said. I said, "Sir, I'm not going to turn off anything cuz I'm not disturbing you." He starts walking towards me. I get I go in the car. I get the phone. I said, "Sir, I'm going to record you. Stay away from me." He goes, "What are you going to do? I don't give a can record me. You can do whatever you want." I said, "Sir, these people in here know me. They love me. They know I don't make problems with anyone here. Please get away from me." He goes, "No one knows you here." He goes, "No one knows you here. No one knows you out here. This, this, and that. Get your ass out of here. You something." I said, "Sir, you sound like a racist." He goes, "You're going to see racist today when the police gets out here." I go, "Sir, I'm not even doing anything to you. What are you talking about? He started talking. I told him, "Okay, I'm going to keep recording you." I told him, "I'm going to record you. I will make you social media famous." >> Do you have that on your phone? >> Both individuals claimed to be the victim in the situation, but the woman had already prepared recorded evidence to support her version of events. >> Recording him cuz the first recording clicked off. He was following me. >> As you can see, I'm on my side. >> Hold it. >> Yes, sir. He's on my He's telling me to just turn off my music that's not even loud. As you can hear in the in the video, the music is not even loud. It was very low. We opened the door and he heard the music and he started saying, "Turn that [ __ ] off now. You're disturbing my peace." >> The guy just left that wanted to report to you guys and they all know me and they're like, "He came in here mad this morning." >> There you go. >> Okay. So, when did when did anything physical happen? >> It never happened. We got no physical. >> They were in there like physical. We didn't even touch them. Everyone standing outside like so. He said, he said, "She hit me. Hurry up and get here." I I was recording him. Hold on. I was still recording him. I said, "Hit you where?" The next video I said, "I hit you where?" >> Not been pumping ass. And I'm about to show you right now. >> So really, it was all because you were playing music that he thought that he thought was too loud. >> He told me he told me, "Turn this shit." Now I don't like >> that video where he says he grabbed you. Like were you next? >> It is the video. I was recording him the whole time. He There was >> I know. But like when he first says it first, do you have that on there? >> Huh? >> Like when he goes, "Oh, she hit me." Do you have that on there? >> It should be up here. >> Awesome. Let me see. >> It should more than likely be up here. >> Yeah, it should more like I asked them for the video camera in there, too. >> But it doesn't work. >> No, they said it does. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah, they said it does. They said their um their person should be in in a few minutes or something at 7:00. >> So, kind of fast. Yeah. He was like He was like, "Oh, she hit me." I said, "Sir, I'm on reporting." >> Fine. Can you follow that? Okay. Due to the conflicting statements from both parties, the officers sought to verify the facts more clearly and therefore approached witnesses who were present at the store. >> Did you guys see what happened with this out here at all? >> So, we called our manager. We We've heard it. We know her. She comes in here regularly. >> Yeah. >> Um and >> she ever known to cause any issues? >> No, never. She goes to see her son. She changes in our bathroom. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Um did you see did either of you guys see anything that happened out here? We were busy doing stuff in here. We do have our manager on the way to show you guys the cameras. >> So, the cameras do work. Will it Will it show that >> part of Okay. >> You know how far out your man is? >> He's on his way right now, right? >> He lives in Benton. >> He lives in Benton. >> Yeah. So, he should probably be here maybe 15 minutes. >> Okay. Sounds good. Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> So, he was talking to you guys. >> Racist and everything else. >> Sorry. You are a racist. >> You are a racist. >> Is that where he said you hit him? >> Yeah, he said I hit him. Play that back. >> He's going to say I hit him. He's going to start saying I hit him. He says all types of stuff in my car. >> Do Do you know me? >> Disrespectful. >> Oh, okay. >> Uhhuh. >> Oh, we have it all on video, sir. >> We have it all on video. >> Calling people racist and everything else. >> Sir, you are a racist. >> You are a racist. You all right? >> I literally was recording the whole time when I saw the police. >> Police also verified everything through the store's surveillance footage and it appeared that what the woman described was entirely accurate. After which officers confronted the man about the findings. >> Show me the video that she that she >> ar >> I've got a video of her standing 10 ft from you and you go, "Oh, she just put her hands on me." I have a there's a video right there of her being 10 ft away from you and you telling my dispatcher that she just grabbed you. >> She did grab my arm. >> My [snorts] arm. >> You got You have If you don't have proof of that on your phone, you were under arrest >> for what? >> That is a false report. That is a fault. You >> She grabbed my arm. >> No, she grabbed my arm. Sir, >> there's a video of you saying that and she's nowhere near you. >> See, I I'll I'll forward it. Fast forward. I She grabbed my arm. >> You better have a video of her grab >> the video. My My >> Do you have a video of her grabbing your arm? >> No, I don't. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. You're being >> right there. >> Until I get a video from inside, you're being detained. >> Okay. You I mean, you don't have to. I'm not going to go anywhere. >> I don't care. >> Okay, I understand, sir. I am. >> Go your way. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Um, >> a false report is a crime. You do realize that, >> sir? I know that. And I'm not I did not. >> She was 10 ft away from you. >> No, she wasn't, sir. >> Here's what I need you to realize. Me and him drove here at 100 mph because we thought you were in danger and there's cars flying past us and we're going in and out of traffic. >> There's a battery, man. >> He was charged with filing a false report and disorderly conduct. Making accusations without solid evidence can quickly turn a situation against you, especially when video footage tells a different story. Escalating a minor conflict into a false criminal report only creates bigger consequences than the original dispute. In situations like this, facts and recorded evidence speak louder than emotion or assumptions. >> Why? NOW THEY'RE ARRESTING ME. >> [screaming] >> FOR NO REASON. >> On the 13th of March 2024, police investigated a hit and run after a woman allegedly changed lanes and struck another vehicle. But when officers approached her, she bizarrely acted as if she was the victim instead. >> Hey, how you doing? >> Good. >> Whose vehicle is that? Is that your mom? >> Yes. >> Okay. Is your mom here, too? >> No, she's not. >> Okay. I looked at the video. >> Uh-huh. It's not It's not BENEFITING YOU. >> WHY NOT? HE HIT ME from behind if he hit me. >> Ma'am, you're in the other lane. You crossed in front of him. Okay. So, you can't do that. >> Uhhuh. >> All right. So, what I need is your license and insurance to the vehicle >> from for him hitting me from behind. >> I need your information. Now, you left the scene of a crash. We're not going to go down this leaving the scene of a crash. >> Are you being serious right now? >> Being serious. >> Okay. Give me a second. I'm going to shut this door. I have somebody in here. >> I I need >> Okay. Yeah. Uhhuh. >> Yeah. >> The woman clearly showed her frustration at the sight of police. Going back inside her house had also been her way of seeking backup because she could not handle the situation on her own. And the moment she returned, everything proved exactly that. >> Give him my the insurance information. >> Um because he's saying that oh he if if anything he hit me from behind, right? So, why should I give him my insurance information? >> Ma'am, it's a crash. I need all everybody's information. It's being documented. >> Yeah, but that's not what you said when you first left here. Listen. >> Okay. He wants to report. I watched the video. You want to report as well cuz you thought he's at fault. Unfortunately, he is at fault. >> You want to see the video? >> Yeah, I do want to see. >> I got a supervisor come too. They can explain that to you as well. But if you want, you didn't stop and you admitted >> I came from out of there to come into the >> I'm trying to make this simple. Let's not make this difficult. >> Trying to make it simple because now you're trying to make it like it was my fault when you fault the one that hit me. Tell your mom come home. She can look at the video. It is your fault. >> Unfortunately, it is your fault. You can't leave one lane and cut in front of somebody. Ma'am behind you. It's not no. When you cut in front of somebody, you want to see the video? >> I do want to see. >> Okay, I'm bringing it up for you. Come here. Watch. Watch. And if your mom comes home, if your mom comes home, she can watch it and she'll be like, "Oh my god." You pull out. You cross over into the other far lane. He comes up along the side of you. You cut in front of him. >> He's in the back of me. I DIDN'T EVEN HIT HIM. What are you talking about? >> Where Where's the crash at? >> Everything became unnecessarily tense because even after seeing the evidence with her own eyes, she still refused to believe it. She kept blaming the victim for the very same actions she had done to them herself. >> Yep. >> Trying to make it easy, ma'am. >> You're the one making it. You're one person. Videos don't lie. You know I am. YOU KNOW I AM. I'VE NEVER >> VIDEOS DON'T LIE. Nobody say in trouble. Don't do that.

The woman left to pick up her family member despite the serious investigation. And when she returned, backup officers had already arrived. The tension only kept rising. >> I'm going to arrest you. So, come over here and deal with this. No, I'm talking to you. You're 34 year old lady. >> You're lying. >> It doesn't matter. You want to go to jail. I'm trying to make this simple. It's a simple crash. Don't turn into more than what it is. >> YOU ARE.

This is what happened. >> This is what happened. I I I was driving my car. I came out of Advanced Auto Park um parking lot. I seen him coming. I was in the right lane. I made a big U-turn to come back into the um parking lot right here. Uh he So, um at that point, I didn't know if anybody had hit me or not. He was behind me. He wasn't in front of me, on the side of me, anything like that. You understand? So then I kept going and I stopped a little bit and then he kept following me. >> I understand you're listen I'm standing right here. >> I understand. So listen try not to yell at me. >> Listen. So so so my my issue is I didn't I didn't know that if he hit me or not and I didn't really know what was going on. >> This was 20's headache to begin with. >> She tried to manipulate the officers attempting to steer attention toward the male victim but it failed completely as the police already knew exactly what to do at that point. What? I'm not doing anything to you. >> I'm being very nice and polite. I'm being very nice and polite. >> I'm not doing anything to you. >> You need to give your information to this officer. >> The last time >> I'm not. He's in my face. Mom, >> I'm talking to you. >> He's in my face. He tells me go get my ID. Now he don't want my ID. Now he wants me to spell my name. What else do you want me to do? >> Just spell your name.

Did you break my tooth? >> You made this worse than what it needed to be. >> Push me. >> Move your feet. >> You push me, bro. >> The woman's ego was clearly very strong. And once she realized she could not avoid responsibility, she shifted into a combative stance, trying to argue and win against the very victim she had hit. >> Is he going to jail? What did he do? Is he going to jail? >> Can you answer my question, please? Please. Why is he going to jail though? >> Wait, but he What do you mean? >> I'm officers. >> Wait, what?

I'm about to put that on you then sweep the hand up to Okay. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, >> bro. Listen. >> The woman was charged with leaving the scene of a crash and resisting without violence along with careless driving. Her actions show how denial and ego can escalate a simple incident into serious legal consequences.

Upon arriving at the scene, they already had certain information about the case. >> See lady over there. >> Mhm. >> He's saying that she's not trying to cash a fake check. She's trying to withdraw 9,000 from the account. He's saying this looks like a fake ID. >> Okay. So, she's trying to impersonate somebody. And that's her like yesterday the phone number changed. Everything changed in the profile yesterday. The phone number changes and she was yesterday. >> No, I can tell. You can tell when somebody chang ID and see if what did you see on the account? Cuz I've run this ID and nothing is coming back on the ID. So first thing first, she prints the phone number to the account. It was she it was declined Apple she the account the card was the debit card >> it was closed yesterday debit card was closed >> it was Apple transaction for 4,000 declined Walmart for a,000 was declined yesterday under that card. Okay. >> 4,000 for Apple and 1,000 for Apple Pay or just >> like Apple store. >> Apple store. >> And that was then and the Apple store was declined. >> Everything was and I guess you went to a different store, a different city bank because no account saying that possible account was taken over. >> Okay. Do you have any information that you can give me on the original account that I can try to contact them and I just talked to our fraud detectives? because in progress fraud I've never had before at all. I've never dealt with anything. I've never been able to verify who the account was. >> It did not stop there. The documents the woman had provided were verified and the results further confirmed the suspect's suspicious behavior. >> Yeah. So, the car was closed the car. The bank the bank closed the card. Why the bank closed the car? >> Suspicious activ. So, is it closed or a hole? >> Closed. It's closed. And this is is her name. This the same name as this address was putting yesterday and her phone number. Her phone number was added to the phone. So I was asking her I was like what's your old phone number? She didn't know right away. She had to look down to her phone and tell me. >> Okay. Usually you get >> Did she tell you this number? >> She didn't after she found her phone for like 2 seconds and then she read it and then tell me. >> But it was this number. >> Yeah. And he said this name was changed. >> No, another name. The address was added and the phone number. >> No. What about the name? Is there a name? >> The name the name has been there. >> This name this name was already there. When you render ID, it comes out comes out good. >> No, it does not. That's why um I couldn't find your fake Pennsylvania ID. [snorts] Yeah, I tried to get on Google but but I looked it's hard to tell. I looked in my when I looked up the ID pictures in Google like everything sometimes kind of printed like it's not like super clear. >> The name was always in there on that account. >> Mhm. >> Is there any other information on the name? Like is there a date of birth attached to it? Anything? >> Everything on the account was already there besides the address and phone number. Shortly after, the police approached the woman behind the incident. With the questions being asked, her evasive responses only made everything appear even more suspicious. The reason why we're here is we're having a little issue with your ID. >> Okay. >> What's your address? >> Jeez, now you're making me nervous. Hold on. Cuz I've been in here for so long. >> Listen, I listen. I understand. I mean, we've been here a while. I'm sure I don't understand why this is happening. I don't understand. Like, I'm just not >> Okay. It's just not clicking to me. So, I'm just >> Okay. Basically, the account has been flagged. >> So, we have to verify who you are. >> Okay. >> You understand? >> Okay. So, can you tell me the address? >> Um, Griffin Heights, Pennsylvania. >> Okay. Did you try to make any other purchases anywhere? >> Try to go to Walmart. >> Try to go to Walmart. Okay. What Walmart? >> Not this one. >> Not this one. I wouldn't want to go to that one. I wouldn't want to go to that one either. >> I literally just Googled it. I don't know. I just typed in Walmart and I just >> Where [clears throat] are you staying here? >> Um, me and my friend are at the hide. >> At the hide. Okay. >> That's why I came down here. >> What? Uh, what room number? >> I'm not sure. >> You don't know the room number? >> I don't know. It's on the 16th floor. It's me and a bunch of girls like her. >> Yeah, but even then, I mean, I've gone on guy trips to the Keys and I've been in a room with four guys and I know my room number. >> Her statements were completely inconsistent and even her admission that she had just arrived there did not add up. Even the information about her flight appeared highly suspicious. >> How'd you guys travel down here? You and your friends. >> On a flight. >> On a flight. >> And he just he literally just asked me the same question. >> You're not going to inform me that you asked these question. >> He asked him. I'm sorry. He asked. Yeah. He asked me question. >> Yeah. He didn't ask me anything while you were gone. >> Flew down here. >> Scared me. I don't want to leave on it either. >> Was it a direct flight? >> Yeah. >> And you think I'm Washington? No charges in Washington, anything like that? >> Not that I know of. Maybe that was the charge that they had texted me about because I didn't even really read the transaction. They said, "Is this you?" I knew it wasn't. So, I said no. And then >> when did you get that text message? >> Like I said, like 3 days ago. >> 3 days ago. Can you check the trash on your phone? Cuz when you delete messages, normally the text message will normally the text message will stay in your in your phone's trash for about 30 days. I don't even have any like deleting messages like that. It automatically deletes out of my phone. Like I have it set up literally to like any code that comes in or any like >> probably change that. >> Yeah, I should. Right. >> Do you can can you remember anywhere else where you may have like charged on your old card or anything like that? >> Amazon. >> Amazon. >> Yeah. >> Do you remember the old card's last four numbers by chance? I think it was like >> 368 or 3681. I know it was 36 something. >> Based on the evidence gathered earlier and her inability to refute anything, the police proceeded to arrest her at that point. >> Put the phone down for me. >> What's going on? >> Put the phone down. You're under arrest for your phone. the phone so I can call. >> Yeah. All that. Which vehicle did you come in so we don't make sure they don't? >> I didn't come here. >> You just walk Uber. >> Uber. Okay. >> Man, what do you want us to do with this car that you had the keys for? That's sounding off. You want us to They're going to end up towing it. How do you want us to take care of it? This is in your pocket. >> Somebody to get it. >> Is it a rental car? >> No, it's my friend's car. But >> your friend's car. Does your friend live in South Florida? Is this a Pennsylvania friend also? >> No, she lives here. Okay, >> but can I call somebody to come get it? >> Hold her. I forgot my key card. >> I'm not going to run. >> Doesn't work. >> The woman was charged with possession of counterfeit credit cards, unauthorized possession of a forged driver's license, and attempting to use another person's identity without consent. The incident shows that attempts to exploit stolen identities and fake documents for financial gain can quickly collapse under verification and lead directly to arrest. Hey, >> come here. Just wondering cuz I got four kids and supposed to be getting later on today. >> On the 8th of May 2025, police received a report from Walmart about a theft in progress. The suspect, a woman, had already fled the scene. When officers arrived, they approached a man believed to be connected to her to ask about her. >> Hold on. >> Yes, sir. >> Don't go nowhere. Yes, sir. What's up? >> Were you with her? >> No. >> No. >> No, sir. Who is she? >> Who is she? >> So if I pull up the cameras, you weren't over there talking to that girl that just walked off. >> [ __ ] who? No, sir. I don't I was asleep in the car, but No. >> No. >> No, sir. >> Who's the girl that you were giving a ride to? >> Who's the girl that you were giving? >> Somebody out the back of the boat over there on that. I don't know who she was. >> You don't know who she is? >> How you doing, man? >> Is her kids in the car? That's what she told me. >> Huh? >> Is her kids in the car? That's what she told me. >> No, sir. >> Okay. No kids at all. >> Probably a different person. >> Okay. Well, she stopped and talking and then he started following her. >> At the same time, another team of officers moved into the wooded area beside the shopping center, which was believed to be the direction she had fled. >> Hey, come here. >> You're detained. Come with me. >> Yes, sir. I talked to her for a second. >> So, do you know who she is? >> Okay. >> No, sir. >> You just lied cuz you said you didn't talk to her. >> I did. I mean, like I was asleep in the car and I don't know who it was. >> What's she say? >> She just said, "Hey, wake up, man." I was like, "What is going on? I've been asleep." Well, what's going on? >> Where's your vehicle at? >> I give a ride to >> Which one's his? >> Champagne. I have to make a delivery. >> Okay. Give me one second. >> I'm on it. >> All right. Give me one second. >> What's going on? You didn't give her a ride here, huh? >> You didn't give her a ride here. >> So, if I go pull the video [cough and clears throat] out of that vehicle, >> honestly, I'm not sure who the hell that was. >> Is she going to get out of this vehicle? >> Step out here. >> I'm sorry. >> 35. I got one female. >> All right, we got her. >> Okay, >> you're free to go. >> I got you. Step. >> I was just hungry, man. I swear. Don't pull against me for I'm going to put you in handcuffs. Okay, sir. Is >> that her? >> Right there. >> Yeah, she just changed her shirt. [clears throat] >> Here, have a sit right here. >> Although the [snorts] man was highly suspicious for denying that he knew the woman, officers determined that he was not involved in the theft and allowed him to leave. However, [snorts] he strangely lingered around the scene instead of leaving immediately. >> All right, we got her. >> Okay, >> you're free to go. I got you stuck. >> I was just hungry, man. I swear. >> Don't pull against me for I'm going to put you in handcuffs. Okay. >> Oh, you want to talk to her now? Nah. Beat off. >> No, you lied to me earlier. Leave. >> It was waiting on >> I guess that's from you. Transfer trespass. >> Hey. All right. All right. Hey. All right. Come back. >> That's your purse? >> You said Yeah. Is there anything in there I need to know about? >> Yeah, I got a sandwich and some clothes. >> That's it. You mind if I take a look? >> Yeah, that's some spray. >> You got ID on you? No. You going to lie to me again when I ask for your name? >> I didn't I didn't lie to you. >> But you said you didn't talk to me. >> You I thought I told you. We all know you. So trespass officer. >> The man was also issued a trespass order from Walmart. Meanwhile, officers recovered the stolen merchandise along with the clothes the woman had allegedly changed into [music] in an attempt to conceal her identity while fleeing. >> Deli. There's a shirt she was wearing. And that's my drink. >> Let me go grab a Walmart bag. I'll get >> three. >> Did you get one of the sandwiches for him? >> Did you get one of the sandwiches for him? >> No. >> He didn't know. >> Which one's your vehicle? >> It's gold. It's a piece of junk. >> Where's it at? >> I don't know. >> Is it here in the parking lot? >> Yeah. Should be a Honda here somewhere. Is it the Honda? >> Yeah, it's a gold one. >> Is there anything in that we need to know about? >> No, I just literally got tires put on it today cuz they were flat. >> All right. You mind if I take a look? >> That's fine. >> Where's Where's her car? >> Yes, his car is over there somewhere. >> Oh, double. >> You don't know. She gave consent to search it. Where's Where's that car at, man? Do what? >> It's over there. Is it locked? >> It's a BR. Hey, it's a golden color Chevy like car all the way over there. >> Way over there. >> Yeah, it's like like three or four rows over. >> Is the vehicle locked? >> No. She gave consent to search it. >> Yeah, I take it. >> As soon as she was placed in the patrol car, the woman immediately began talking about her personal circumstances, seemingly trying to portray herself as someone deserving of sympathy. >> You know, I have to stay in jail for >> uh No idea. No idea. >> Just wondering cuz I got four kids and supposed to be getting them to like later on today. >> I was going to say where your kids at cuz they're not in the car. >> No, they're at They're at their dad. >> They're at their dad's. >> Yeah, >> where you staying now? >> I stay in here since y'all came out there a couple times when I was broken into. >> That's right.

Okay. >> Squad in the bushes over there. Trying to point out your I'm like, >> we'll grab your statement if you want. >> In the end, 25-year-old Kendall Hardy was charged with theft and sentenced to 12 months of probation. Shoplifting [music] can have lasting consequences that far outweigh any temporary benefit. Choosing to take responsibility and cooperate from the start is always better than trying to run or make excuses. >> All right, listen. >> What? >> Don't do that. What's the hang of it? >> I don't know. Y'all all three big. >> Come on. >> Okay. On the 19th of September 2024, deputies responded to a Walmart after receiving a report that a woman had been removing security tags from merchandise inside a fitting room. They had no idea that what appeared to be a simple shoplifting investigation would ultimately lead to four additional criminal charges. Here's what happened when they arrived at the scene. >> Come here. >> Cuz they said something about you might be taking some stuff out of the the department out of there. >> Yeah. You ain't got nothing in your bag. >> My twins in there though right now. >> You got a twin in there? Just like me. >> Really? Wearing the same thing you got? >> No, but she doesn't have red hair. You better. >> Okay. Well, we'll figure that out here in just a second. Come here. They said that you come out of the dressing room with a bunch of tags. Popping tags. Is that true? >> No. I got babies. >> Okay. Well, come over here so we can figure it out. >> Huh? >> Come over here so we can figure it out. >> Where you going to? >> No. >> All right. Listen. The woman had no intention of stopping to cooperate with the investigation, clearly showing that she was afraid something would be discovered. Moments later, she suddenly fled, only reinforcing that suspicion even further. >> Don't do that. >> NOPE. >> AUSTIN, don't do it. Don't do it. 97 65 20 out of Florida India Hotel 1 5 golf >> Hey, stop the car. >> NO, FOR REAL. GO >> stop the car. Just hang on. >> No, cuz I'm not about to be in trouble for something. >> Okay, >> they said that they're witnessing you popping tags. >> Let's just figure it out. >> Well, I wasn't. >> Okay, that's fine. We'll figure it out. Pull up here for a minute, Austin. >> What happened? We're trying to get to the bottom of it. Loss Prevention's got her in there popping tags off of items. >> Wait, I hear him. My twins in there, too. >> That vehicle up here at Walmart. >> Okay. You got a twin? >> Yes. Yes, actually. >> Okay, that's fine. >> She ain't even came out yet. >> Okay, that's fine. Did she ride up here with you? >> No. >> All right, Austin, pull it up here real quick just so we can figure it out. >> Why do I have to pull it up? >> Listen, dude. It's fine. If you if she ain't done nothing, we're going to get to the bottom of it. >> After stubbornly using her vehicle as a shield to protect herself, she began fabricating a story, claiming that the real suspect was not her, but another member of her family. >> What is it? >> My twin sister Nick like he kept on saying like me and her him had something to do with it and I got out of there because my sister was in there doing >> breathing so heavy. Where's your sister at? She was left her ass. >> Who's your sister? >> But she look just like me, dog.

We're just trying to figure out. >> Well, you know what I'm saying? Just like the cop would just, you know, be calm. >> But I can't control what he's >> But don't don't take it out on me. Okay. I mean, he like he didn't even go look to go see. >> Well, he had some. >> Deputies confirmed that she did in fact have a twin sister inside the store. However, that did nothing to change the direction of the investigation as her earlier attempt to flee was clearly suspicious. As a result, deputies decided to detain her at that point. >> Okay. Okay. >> Get out. >> I'll call you back. >> What do you What's the hang up? >> I don't know. Y'all three big Come on. >> Okay. Oh [ __ ] My pants got a hole in them. >> Oh man. >> Hey, hold on. >> There you go. Oh [ __ ] >> I was just putting it down for you. Damn. >> You ain't have to do that. >> I ain't doing nothing. >> Yeah, you are. >> Hold on.

Can you stop things burning burn on my arm? >> Good. I love it. >> My ass hanging out. I got a hole in my pants. >> She got the Browning tattoo on her right inside it too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Immediately after handcuffing the suspects, deputies searched their bags and found merchandise that directly contradicted the woman's repeated denial of the shoplifting allegations. More jewelry stuffing stolen. Hey, she also made me Are you serious? >> Yeah. >> Damn. >> Right there. >> I literally know the first thing I know. He said nothing. >> That's a giant torch lighter.

It might be >> all different shape. >> Hey, bro. Go ahead and throw it. >> It could be. >> Don't. Yeah, hold on. >> That's some cleaning. See, I wanted to be super concerned right now with a search. >> Oh, dude. He was definitely super concerned. >> That's why he just wants to get out. Yeah, he gassed up and was trying to leave whenever I pulled in. a scale. >> At this point, the case had escalated far beyond a simple shoplifting investigation and into a drugrelated offense. Yet, she seemed completely unfased by the seriousness of the situation, remaining cheerful and carefree as everything unfolded. >> I ain't find your [ __ ] >> Okay. >> Yell back on. I got holes in my pants and [ __ ] >> Hold on. No, you ain't getting in my car like that.

It's all right, man. We'll put them back on in the jail. You going to have to take them off anyways. >> All right. Hey, >> watch out. >> In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft, trafficking, and methamphetamine, resisting an officer without violence, and providing false identification during a law enforcement investigation. A lie may complicate an investigation, but fleeing, resisting, and carrying far more serious evidence can transform a minor theft into a life-changing criminal case. >> What What's the charge? >> Hold on. >> And I'm ex law enforcement, so >> Oh, yeah. Well, that's that's too bad. Too bad to hear that. >> Hey, I know how to build nuclear. I know. >> On the 24th of March, 2024, officers responded to a report of a theft at the Oakley store inside the airport. The suspect had already fled the scene by the time they arrived. Upon arrival, officers quickly gathered a detailed description of the man and immediately began searching for him before he could get any farther away. >> Sure. The guy? >> No, I don't. >> Can you describe him again? >> He's probably your height. Like he's like 6 foot. He's skinny. >> Uhhuh. >> Black hat. He's Look, he's all black.

He was black guy with black clothing, black hat. >> Black. >> He just had the white I guess. >> I have a sign here that is back in 15 minutes. >> So, I'm taking it off as I'm taking off.

Well, I'm visually impaired. I can't >> I can't see from my head. >> Okay. All right. Okay. All right. >> At the same time, officers spotted a man walking past the store who matched the suspect's description, and they quickly moved in to make contact with him. >> You done good? >> Yeah, I'm sure. >> Yeah. So, what's going on? We got to call that um what you call it. You went um what do you mean? >> Store right there. >> Yeah. What store? The McDonald's store >> right there. This one's that wasn't me.

I don't know if he can ID. >> So, he went right anyways. All black everything, which that guy is, too. But >> I wonder if he he he went into cuz >> he came from this way, right? >> After confirming that the man they had stopped was not the suspect, officers reviewed airport surveillance footage with the store employee. Within just a few minutes, the real suspect was located. >> Yes, he stopped. Stop. >> What? >> Come on over here for me. >> Am I being Am I being detained? >> Yes, you are.

Like, I >> like It's like everybody's against me, dog. Like, I ain't nobody, man. You guys don't all disrespect me for what? >> He denied stealing the merchandise and made things more difficult for officers by refusing to cooperate. He should have known the situation would have been much easier if he hadn't resisted, especially since he later admitted that he was a former law enforcement officer. That's what I'm doing, sir. >> And I'm ex law enforcement, so >> Oh, yeah. Well, that's that's too bad. Too bad to hear that. >> Hey, I know how to build a nuclear.

I know how to build free energy devices, bro. You want to make me an enemy? All right. I know nuclear fusion. That's why I study, bro. I'm an engineer. >> Do you think the man really believed those claims made him seem too honorable to commit theft? Yet moments later, he contradicted himself by admitting that he had taken the missing pair of glasses. And I know it's it's the glasses the glass. Okay, the glass the glasses are in there. The I took the the glasses and there's a gray hat in the in the in that um in that bag right there. >> What glasses are you talking about? >> Okay, never mind. So, what are you guys looking for?

No, I like I was I'm a nice one. >> Okay, cool. Thank you, man. Appreciate that. >> Finally, the man was charged with theft. [music] Don't let excuses or empty claims define your character. Your actions will always reveal the truth. And what do you think about this case? Do you think his excuses were believable? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Next, this foolish woman told a series of lies that were painfully obvious. >> She ain't got nothing to do with this. >> Okay. So, my job is to figure it out. Okay. >> And I don't got I did not steal anything. So, >> my job You [music] went to Michael Kors, you went to Lacrosse, and you went to Prada. >> On the 16th of April 2026, police received a call from a shopping center reporting that a woman suspected of shoplifting had been spotted on the property. Officers responded to the parking lot shortly afterward to stop her from fleeing along with anyone who might have been involved. >> How you doing, miss? Turn off your vehicle. >> Step out the car, please. >> Me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Right now, you're going to be detained. Okay. >> Me? >> Yo, step out of the vehicle. Okay. >> Wow. >> Put your hands behind the back. Put your >> What the [ __ ] is wrong? >> Any weapons on you, man? >> One female thing. >> Like this is crazy. >> Okay.

Okay. >> Other hand. >> 23 27 2371. >> Oh, you said you was going to buy something for your mama. >> I don't real close. The female driver appeared confused and even confronted the passenger about what had happened. She seemed genuinely unaware of the theft, but quickly realized what was going on. The woman in black also repeatedly insisted that the driver had nothing to do with the crime. >> She ain't got nothing to do with this. >> Okay? So, my job is to figure it out, okay? >> And I don't got I did not steal anything. >> My job is to figure it out. If if you didn't steal nothing, you will be on your way. If you did steal something, I will [music] decide if you're going to go to jail or get a court date. Okay? All right. So, your attitude is also going to uh have an influence on that, too. >> I'm sorry, sir. >> So, I'm going to get locked up either way. >> No. Right now, you are detained for theft. I didn't say you're under arrest. Okay. You're detained in handcuffs. You're going to sit back here while I do my job. Okay. >> While the suspect denied stealing [music] anything, the store manager arrived on scene with a very different account of what had happened. >> All right. So, you reported this, correct? >> I'm the manager over there. I was right outside on break and she be going out. I was getting ready to go. This lady right here, she have in the car. >> Okay. Oh, so you already saw >> Oh, I saw it happen. Yeah. I was getting ready to walk back in and I was getting up. I was sitting on couches and she beeped and she had a whole like we don't let anybody leave with just bags in their hand. She didn't have a shopping bag or anything. So, it was just it I went in there and I said, "Did she purchase all those bags that she had her hand?" The other manager said, "No." So, then that's when I called it in. >> Okay. Do you know about how much merchandise she stole? What I saw was about four or five of our cross bodies >> and about the average price of each. >> Um, so about maybe $400 a piece >> retail. Retail. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Um, okay. Let me uh >> she took something else. I don't know. >> Okay. Let me speak to her first and then uh so right now it's going to be treated as a theft investigation. I got to talk to her, see what she's willing to, you know, say, and then uh if we can get the property back with just her saying it, then we'll go from there. >> Meanwhile, another officer explained the situation to the driver and confirmed that she was not involved in the theft. >> Maybe you need to start hanging around certain people. >> Yeah, cuz I don't even play this. You understand me? >> Cuz this this I mean, >> this ain't it. >> Yeah, >> I'm hiding the piss about this. You ain't got the word, son. That's crazy, bro. >> You see how fast stuff happened? >> And she told me she was going there to buy some, >> please. >> She come out running ducking low. I say, "What the going on?" >> Running and ducking low. >> Yeah. So, I'm like, "What the going on?" And you see, you know, I ain't no one thing about if you know running out, you going to be gone, ready to go. I didn't move my car cuz I don't play that. >> Okay. >> I'm heading over there right now. >> Back with the suspect, she made little effort to defend herself or prove her innocence. Instead, she remained defiant throughout the questioning, acting as though she was entitled to respect despite being the prime suspect in a theft investigation. >> Do you have your uh ID on you? >> No, but I did not steal anything. So, >> okay. Do you have your ID on you? You don't. >> What's your first name? >> Jasmine. >> You don't have any ID in the car either? >> No, sir. >> J A >> I S M I N E. >> J A I S >> M I N E. >> Middle name >> E. >> Last name >> Johnson. >> Date of birth >> July 1st, 1992.

And it's July 1st, 1992. >> Mr. Ramirez. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I did not say anything. And I feel like y'all are being too rough with me. >> Listen, I'm I'm not rough with you, okay? You're in handcuffs for a reason. All right. Honesty goes a long way. I'm going to read you something. I'm going to talk to you. Okay. >> Honesty do go a long way. Can I be honest with you? >> She did not have anything to do with what I whatever I got going on. She did not have anything to do with it. >> Okay. >> Her story quickly fell apart. While denying the theft, she repeatedly insisted that her friend had nothing to do with the incident. It seemed she was trying to mislead the officers, but the strategy failed when she later admitted to stealing the merchandise herself. >> 23 points on She's advising. It's July 1st, >> 1992. Middle name is uh Elizabeth. >> Can I give you what I had took? >> Can you give me what you've took? >> Yes. >> Again, yes. Honestly goes a long way. >> Yes, sir. Can I give you what I took? >> Okay. So, you did commit a theft. Okay. What did you take? >> You took a dress. >> A dress. Okay. So they were watching you. This the manager out here. They would like for you to return the stuff, but they said more than just a dress. Some cross body bags. >> Yes. >> Oh, black. >> Okay.

Some purses. >> I need I need everything cuz I got to go retrieve the property and give it back to them. >> Purses and dresses. >> Okay. It's It's all Where? On the floor in the seat. >> In the back seat. >> In the back seat. Is it in the bag? Okay. Sit tight one second. Miss. With the driver's cooperation, officers located the stolen designer bags on the back seat of her vehicle and recovered them shortly afterward. >> And there's a couple more. >> Thank you. Thank you. Tesla cost my head. They get their stuff back. I was in the little >> She gone. >> She gone, right? >> Wait, did you get everything already? >> That's fine. >> Joe, can we uh >> You want a record of everything? >> Can we go by this store and check, too? >> You would have had time to put that up here because See here is she laying down. Look, I got it up. >> Who is she to you? >> No, nobody. She just asked me for a ride to go get her for her mama get a person 5 seconds ago. I'm going to Guardi Beach. [laughter] >> Officers found a large amount of merchandise believed to have been stolen from multiple stores. Yet, she continued playing dumb about it. Her responses eventually prompted the officers to bluntly tell her what they believed had happened. >> This is your you've been wanting to talk to me all this time. I understand you you told me you took the bags. You said she's not a part of it. What What else do you want to tell me? >> I want to know if I'm on I'm I'm sorry. >> Okay. >> I'm a sorry ass person. >> Okay. What What happened? >> Which means >> what happened?

I don't walk. >> Okay. So, she came here, parked, you got out. >> Yeah. I told her I wanted to get some for my sister. >> For your sister. So, you went She stood in the car, you went there, and that's when you you went to Michael Kors, you went to Lacass, and you went to Prada? >> Prada? >> Yeah. >> No problem. >> No. The little perfumes >> that I did not go. >> The perfume store. the outlet perfume store. >> Okay. Is there anything else in that car? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Is the cell phone yours? >> No. >> No. >> No, sir. >> You don't have any other property in that car? >> No, sir. >> Although she continued trying to lie until the very end, the truth eventually caught up with her. In the end, she was charged with three counts of petty theft [music] and one count of fraud by impersonation. Lies may delay accountability for a moment, but the truth eventually catches up.
