You white racist available female officer. >> On December 20th, 2021, police received a report of a theft near the Dunkin Donuts area inside the airport. The suspect was a woman accused of taking a pair of shoes from a nearby store. When officers approached her, they could already sense the tension in her voice. >> What happened in the in the store over by Dunkin Donuts? >> This is Go ahead by Dunkin Donuts. Can you tell me at 71 University Boulevard, >> right? But did you end up coming back? >> No. So, do I >> trying to work with you here? Do I need to go pull the tapes where it shows you bringing the shoes back? Cuz they have cameras there. >> You don't need to pull the tape off. >> But what I'm saying is that they said you took the shoes, you put them in the bag, you walked over there. >> Yeah, she chased me outside. >> Right. And >> but then she was making a scene, so I went back in there and put them back. Yes, that's correct. >> Okay. >> Is trespass >> 283. Can we get landside 51 for trespass? We're right in the middle by the fish tank. And surprisingly, this wasn't the first time she had done it at this airport. She simply switched stores each time she acted. Yet, she calmly [music] sat back on the chair, facing the officers without a hint of remorse. >> And also, possibly all the other stuff under is 56, but they got their shoes back. Their management says they don't want to do anything, but she's already caused the scene two or three times at Dunkin Donuts. >> We'll be able to ID and then if they call back and then we'll just write warrants. >> Yeah. >> So, Gotcha. This is the situation, >> right? But you've already stolen from one store. How are you supposed to know you didn't steal from another one? >> And the and the other concern is that you're saying you have no money and you need you need people to >> I spoke to my daughter on his phone. She's going to she's going to send me some money now. So it doesn't make sense how you buy clothes, but you have no money. That's what I'm saying. >> I have money earlier. I had $400 on my car and I had 500 on my other car. That's how I bought. >> They spent $900. >> Look, my family got money. How can I sold my mother's brown sold for 1.3 million? I had $100,000. What you think? >> Where's your receipt for explosion? >> But what are you concerned about that? The issue is >> they don't belong to you. They belong to the store. >> That's your issue. You came to get me for this [ __ ] with the lady. >> What I'm telling you is is that I know me a favor. Do me a favor. I ain't come here for this and I don't have to explain to you. I'm dealing with this. What we'll do is we'll go to the store and we'll see if they want to press charges and we'll go from there and then you end up going to jail. So I I'm just trying to >> I'm not trying to go to NO JAIL. I'M TRYING TO GO HOME. I'VE BEEN HERE TOO LONG. I'm exhausted. OKAY. I'M TIRED OF FLORIDA. I don't live here and I AIN'T COMING BACK. >> THE woman's tension grew stronger and stronger and even as the officers tried to calm her, it didn't seem to ease. >> Keep it up. You're borderline disorderly conduct and I'll just arrest you for that. Okay. We're trying to resolve this. >> I'm trying to talk to him. You with me for one thing and HE COMING WITH ME? IT'S FOR SOME OTHER I'M TRYING TO GET HOME. [screaming] I HAVE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT AND I HAVE TWO. You going to arrest me? I have a doctor's APPOINTMENT AND I HAVE TWO. I have >> Ma'am, you're not under arrest. Place your hands behind your back. >> You know what? This don't make no sense. What more are y'all going to do to me? >> Ma'am, place your hands. >> You know what? You see how bad my look is? >> Why you going to hurt my home like that? >> Take my bag right here. Take my bag. What the hell? 3 10:15. >> Take my bag. Take my bag. Cuz he don't know if I got the receipt on me or not. >> Time for disorderly conduct. >> You know what? >> Stay right there, man. Don't get up, please. Thank you. >> Get your hands off of me. I'm going to sit here. >> Her outburst led to a disorderly conduct charge. This was the third time she'd caused trouble at the airport. She resisted even when handcuffed and even made baseless accusations of racism. >> I don't believe you racist motherucking bastards. >> Man, race has nothing. >> You racist mother. If I was white, you would have let me go ahead here. You're racist. >> That's the best you can do. >> That's the best you can do. >> That's the best you can do. >> You just want to with me cuz I'm black. >> No way. >> I didn't ask you to steal today. I mean, >> so what? This don't HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE. You started with me. >> I was enjoying the nice weather and then you decided >> you ain't enjoying. >> Stand back down. Sit back down, ma'am. We told you >> you're going to hurt me. Go ahead. Hurt me. Go ahead. Break my arm. Break my arm. Stop. >> Let me sit down. Let me go down mother. Let me go bastard. Let me go. Let me go, mother. I'm sitting down. You white racist. >> Can I get a cage car, please? Let me know where they're going to be on the curb. >> You white racist son of a son of a You hurt me. If you hurt me, I'm still on the preet cuz I'm staying still, mother. You want to hurt me? You hurt me, mother. >> You don't have to grab me like that. You son of a >> unit >> and pick up another charge. >> Go to um the office and deal with this. Yeah, >> you holding me too hard. You racist son of a >> clearly she brought up the topic herself and at that moment only she was claiming racial discrimination. Even during the escort, her insults never stopped filling the entire hallway. >> Back on mother, you holding me too tight. He's holding me. Okay. But you got to be and you hurt you squeezing my finger. Would you tell him to stop squeezing my finger? >> Just stop resisting. >> You know what? Kiss my ass and you keep your face. Keep squeezing my tight. Did you >> piece of shitable being in this mother? Y stupid mother. Me to the bus. You don't want me to go to >> New York where I live. Piece of [ __ ] >> if my arm is up. I'm I'm show69. None of y'all are trying to help me. You trying to break my arm? >> No. >> I want none of y'all can kiss my black ass. keep pulling my arm. >> At the airport security office, the officers became the focus of her anger. Her insults continued relentlessly, and she even took more reckless actions that only added to her own charges. >> Let me go to >> What you going to talk to me now? >> You know what, man? >> Piece of [ __ ] >> I spit on your ass. an available female officer. >> Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. >> Hit me. Hit me. >> That's another charge. >> So what? I ain't spit on you >> downstairs. >> You holding my arm. You just you >> watch.

Please. >> Yeah. >> You trying TO BREAK MY BACK, YOU PIECE of >> That's why I spit on you looking at girl. I'm from New York. I come here. I'm a be. >> In the end, the woman was charged with trespassing, resisting arrest, and battery on law enforcement. Even a small act of shoplifting can escalate if one reacts with anger, insults, and defiance toward authorities, turning a minor incident into serious charges. Next, the shoplifter continued stealing, completely unaware that she had already been charged. >> I got a warrant. >> For shoplifting this today? >> No, today. >> So, he was saying convicted as in going to court and >> and they're saying you were guilty. Yes. >> On March 16th, 2025, police received a tip from Walmart about a woman with a history of shoplifting who had returned. Following the store manager's directions, officers swiftly approached her. The woman completely unaware she had been caught in the act. >> Hi man. How are you? Mind walking up here with us real quick. >> Grab her on right now. You are just being detained. Okay. 6626. >> We're going to walk up to the loss prevention office. Okay. >> Okay. >> Sorry. I keep feeling walking. >> No, you're good. You're good. Why is everybody ready for blood? >> I don't know. Probably cuz there was no in talks person the other day. >> All right, go ahead and take a seat for us. >> This bathroom you want to prosecute? >> All right. Do you have an ID on you? >> She let the officers handcuff her easily, showing she knew what was happening or was too familiar with it. But it seemed like the police investigation revealed a slight change during this visit. >> Make sure you don't have any whatever's on her. Take the face pack off and all that kind of stuff. I'm going to quote this from you. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Hold on one second. >> Yeah. She hadn't done a shop thing, so I was like >> we were going to go to the lady with no clothes on. >> That'll be interesting to see what they do. >> Yeah. >> I wonder if they meant like no shirt physically, but she had a bra or something. >> You have what? >> Somebody stole her shirt. Do you have anything in your bra? >> Okay, I'm going to grab it and pull it over. Okay, >> I'll turn around. >> Go ahead and have a seat here. So you said she she is in custody. So anything you're going to ask her, >> make sure you read my hand. >> It seemed like she was only facing her past defenses, but this time her old habits caught up with her when the police actually found several items in her bag. I >> mean, she's got all kinds of stuff, so we're probably going to want to ask about all of it. Yeah, sorry. Hold on. >> She's one of my bags. H A S What's your birthday? 30. >> What's a uh what's a phone number for you? >> So, [snorts] do I give you this one or >> just give me your personal phone number? >> Okay. 3 4 0. >> You we assume you are a barring mister. >> Yes. I think she's already >> you already borrowed from here. >> So, you're also going to get criminal trespass. Do you want to start the barring over from today though? >> Okay. And you got a warrant out of car. >> I got a warrant. >> Mhm. >> How? >> For shoplifting. >> It's today. >> No, I think today >> I took a warrant out of our previous shop. >> Yeah, you got a warrant for >> At this point, the police had confirmed the value of what she took that day. Surprisingly, she started questioning even her previous offenses as if she had never cared about her past wrongdoings. >> So, it was $22. Beth, am I reading that correct? >> $20.88. We don't do the tax. >> Gotcha. Okay. So, 288. >> I like your nails. >> It will tell you, right? Whenever I go Well, not y'all. Whenever I go, I have to ask somebody else like when I get to jail, >> like where the warrant was from. Uh, I'm sure on the warrant it'll say it on the warrant where Yeah. >> when they when they have they have to. >> Okay. >> You could ask them and they'll be able to tell you. We just don't know cuz I don't have the warrant in hand. They just told us that you have it and that it's been confirmed. So, >> perfect. While you're out there, can you can you see if the criminal history is there yet? >> Okay. So, if I got So, I heard y'all say um if this after 3. >> Yeah. Have you been convicted of shoplifting before? >> So he was saying convicted as in going to court and >> and they're saying you were guilty. Yes. >> Um I'm on probation for one right now. One the the other one I haven't went to court and tooken any plea deal. >> Okay. So it so it has to be convictions. So that means like you said like you've pled to it. You've said I'm guilty of this. >> Um if there's three you you become a felon. It becomes a felony. Perhaps her initial expression reflected the simple belief that she would be let go like last [music] time because now she seemed genuinely bewildered by all the charges stacked against her. >> You're getting the trespass. You're going on your warrant. So, which is going to violate your probation. >> Mhm. >> So, because you don't have a probation violation yet because of the fact that they just signed a warrant. So, once they see that you've been in jail, they're going to violate your probation. >> So, you'll probably end up sitting there too for that. If not, you might get out and then probably go right back for the probation violation. So, it just depends on if your probation offer catch catches it. >> What's the address here? What's the number? >> Was it 4375? >> 4375. Lexington. >> You have any kids or anything? >> Okay. >> First one was December 12th. No, December 1st, 25 TJ Maxx 24. Yes. 24 >> December. >> Mhm. Side TJ Maxim. Why did my probation say nothing? >> So he just signed him on January >> 6 >> or maybe >> you didn't have she doesn't have a probation violation. So her perform >> so they were signed on March 6th a week ago. >> So you have three warrants for shoplifting. >> Well, two for shoplifting, one for the trespass. >> So any convictions? I think he's >> in the end. She was taken away shortly after and was formally charged with shoplifting and trespass. Ignoring past mistakes and repeating bad habits only worsens the consequences. Facing the law becomes inevitable. Even worse, this woman made her own charge heavier through her own anger. >> I ain't scared of y'all. Y'all want me to be scared? >> I ain't scared. I ain't double scared. >> I'M FREE TO GO. >> OH, YOU'RE SITTING HERE COMPLAINING. >> NO, I'M GOING TO GO. WE WAITING ON MY SISTER. GO. >> On July 2nd, 2023, police received a call from a grocery store reporting a woman causing a scene. And she was even attempting to steal. When officers arrived, she was standing outside the store visibly agitated. Here's what happened next. >> I'm pass myself. I got three different TRANSACTIONS AND THAT'S ALL I WAS DOING. Three different transaction. I'm paying for my stuff. Why the that I got to I GOT A MOTHER AMEN TO A WHY I GOT TO DO THAT AND I'M PAYING FOR MY >> What do you What do you mean? Amen. >> Him. >> Okay. >> I'M PAYING FOR MY STUFF. THREE DIFFERENT TRANSACTION. I [ __ ] I GOT MONEY. [ __ ] AIN'T WORRIED ABOUT THAT. BUT I'M JUST SAYING I'M PAYING FOR MY STUFF. That's all I'm doing. I got three different transactions. So I'm paying for my stuff and that's all I was doing. >> All right. Where's uh where's the stuff at? >> They had I think they put it to the suspended my my transaction and I'm paying for it. DON'T WORRY ABOUT MY ID. I JUST WANT MY You know what? >> I can keep that [ __ ] >> Okay, listen. Listen. >> Don't worry about my ID. Don't worry about a mother thing. >> Okay, listen. >> Cuz this [ __ ] MADE ME MAD AND I want to hit somebody right now >> and I don't like that. No, I ain't going to hit THE POLICE CUZ Y'ALL AIN'T going to take me to jail. Stop kissing my ass on the >> transaction. >> Her tone and words did nothing to calm the situation. Even after corrections were made and the accusations were clearly explained, the woman acted as if nothing serious had happened. And she was even ready to create more trouble. >> A transaction. >> She didn't PAY FOR HER ITEMS. >> I'M speaking to him, so give me one second. Relax. >> Relax. Um, and so she stated to them that she was going to try to uh do >> one by one individual on the items, >> but she had the whole car full, ready to walk out. >> So manager just wants to not prosecute, but wants to go ahead and trespass her. >> So that's as simple as that. So for today, you're going to grab your ID, get your information, come back tomorrow, you're not you're not if you come back tomorrow, >> I'll come back when perfectly. THAT'S FINE. >> AND Y'ALL WANT TO GET MY ID EITHER? >> OKAY. WELL, now you're gonna go to jail then for obstruction because you're not giving me your ID. Nope. Okay. Okay. >> So, you take me to jail. You go to jail. You want to go home? >> I'm going home. >> Then give me the ID. >> Stop playing games. >> Give me the ID or you go my hand. >> Stop playing games or you going to get my hand cuz I will give it to you. >> Okay. GET GET THE ID. >> WELL, LET GO MY HAND. DON'T HOLD MY MOTHER HAND. >> OKAY. Give me the ID cuz I'm not playing games. >> I'm not playing now. >> The [ __ ] >> ID now. Are you gonna get a resistant? You gonna get resistant charge? >> Go with the ID. >> ID so you can avoid all this. >> Can you get the ID cuz I'm I'M >> GIVE ME A MINUTE. LET ME GO MY WAY. >> Even something as simple as getting her ID proved difficult. Showing just how disruptive she had been in the store. She even stalled, testing the officer's patience to the limit. Cuz >> I ain't going no jail. Okay. Give me the ID. >> Thank you, ma'am. Let me sign cuz you gave me a minute. >> Just give me just give me your name. It's a lot easier. Give me your name. >> I'm going give you my ID. >> You're about to go to jail. I'm not playing with you. Okay. You are going to go to jail if you keep playing with me cuz my patience is running very thin. >> Okay. So, give me your name or you got 2 minutes to give me the ID. >> Give me a minute. Let me find it. >> You got about 1 minute left. >> Well, you got to wait. >> Thank you. How hard was that? >> 43. pay for my [ __ ] Have to come down here and steal all these [ __ ] that come here. >> I don't have no work left. >> I really don't. >> I'm all out the way. >> Hotel. I ain't talking to you. I'm >> You're not free to go. Okay. >> I ain't talking to you. I'm talking to a soon as YOU DONE WITH THAT. I'm not TALKING TO YOU. I'M TALKING to him. >> I'm talking to you. I don't want to talk to you. >> I'm talking to you. >> I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU. >> I CAN GO WHERE THE I WANT TO GO. >> At this point, while the officers were checking her ID, she still wouldn't let things settle. She made herself the center of attention, constantly venting HER FRUSTRATION. >> I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD. I'm good. The out. I'm good. I ain't scared of y'all. Y'all want me to be scared. I ain't scared. I ain't double scared. >> Listen >> by the But you got my ID. Want that [ __ ] Let me go to another store. Let me get what I'm trying to get and GO HOME TO GO TO and get me some more mother.

I'm trying to get MY AND I GOT THREE DIFFERENT transactions and the ho and this old ass Mr. Bill ass building call the mother police on girl call the police on me got me out here with these mother police girl I ain't got no marks no nothing I'm good all day every day >> so you're now you're now being trespassed Hold on >> that you're being trespassed so if you come anywhere on this plaza you're going to go to jail you're going to jail it doesn't matter if You come back here anywhere on this property, you're going to jail. Okay. >> Give me my ID. >> This ain't this ain't >> that's a case number. >> You could do >> have a wonderful day. >> I don't need >> So the woman was only charged with trespassing and could have left easily, but her disruptive behavior wouldn't let her stop. She lingered, continuing to broadcast her frustration from a distance. >> Have a good day. Bye-bye. 2 seconds. I'll get a statement from you and then uh she'll be trespassed. Okay. >> Okay. >> If she comes back anywhere here, she's going to go to jail. Okay. keys in the store and everything, man. She need to be locked up. >> Try to steal overund something dollars worth of merchandise, man. >> Of course. >> Got in the guy's face and everything. >> She's still going on. You guys going to allow that? >> Give me Give me a second. Give me a second. >> If I was to do that, I've been locked up. Listen, there's a first amendment right, freedom of speech. Okay, I think she's going to go to jail. She's still on the property today. >> Her decision to linger ended up violating the very order she had just received. This was the result of her frustration, prompting the officers to take immediate action. >> Come on. Come on. We told you to leave. YOU'RE STILL >> I'M GOING TO GO. >> NO, you're sitting here complaining. >> No, I'M GONNA GO. WE WAIT ON MY SISTER. I'm going to go to the car. >> My sister went in the car. >> Out of the car. We're going to pull you out of this car. Out of the car or I'm going to pull you out OF THE CAR. LET'S GO. Get out of the car. >> Get out of the car. >> Go. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Let's go. We're way past that. Let's go. No, we to go. Come on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> There's no Hold on. >> No. I need my phone. >> No. >> Okay.

SIT DOWN. >> I'M GOING TO GO. >> SIT DOWN OR >> I'M GOING TO GO. >> Sit down. SIT DOWN. >> AND DON'T MIND MOVE. >> NO. Sit down. >> I hurt no. >> Let's go. Sit down. Thank you. >> The woman was charged with trespassing and obstructing an officer. Frustration and deliberate defiance only make matters worse. Cooperating from the start, following police instructions, and leaving restricted areas can help avoid unnecessary legal trouble. Even more shocking, this high-speed woman ended up facing a not so happy ending. >> 29, so maybe she didn't she didn't mean to go scam that $30. >> YOU'RE GOING TO GET TASED. YOU BETTER STOP RIGHT NOW. MY KIDS, I'm so sorry. On November 20th, 2024, police received a report of a woman committing shopping fraud. Surveillance footage revealed that she had been taking stickers from lowpriced items and placing them on more expensive products. This is what happened next when the police met with the loss with the loss prevention staff. >> She pulled a lot of tags from the socks. She stuck them on the watches and stuff. And then now she's um she's peeling off stickers and putting them on adult clothing. That's what she's doing. She's been there since 6:00. >> Jeez. >> Maybe she thought if she got here early enough, y'all wouldn't be here. >> Maybe. >> I don't know. How you been? >> I'm good. >> All the work that we have to go do just to go separate or fish out what was stolen, what was not stolen. Goodness. >> So, do you want me to go ahead and grab her and >> No, that's it. I guess we'll wait till she goes to the I told them once she gets to the register, leave her alone and she might be getting ready now. She has more than that. She just put a lot of stuff back. I think her budget was like halfway full. >> I was going to say the altering tags is enough for us. >> See their own watches on the jewelries. >> 1913 Central. >> She [snorts] thought arriving early would keep her unnoticed, but it worked the opposite way. Being the only customer made her even easier to track from a distance. Walmart's system watched every detail of her checkout. >> More than that, she had more than that. Now she want to pay cash. >> So, are y'all just going to count towards her theft, the things that she rung up and altered like the boys tea? Do y'all do like the difference or do y'all do the total? >> Well, what we do is we refund whatever she scanned and then I will charge her with the one >> the full price of the pants. >> Yes. I guess she's still in debating. What else do you want to take? >> Okay. Knock down lane the Honda. She left a dollar. >> She left a dollar. >> All right, let's go. Nab her. Where she go? >> Where she going? >> Yep. >> So, every dishonest move was exposed, leaving nothing for her to deny. The officers made a decisive plan to stop her while the woman still had no idea that her scheme had already been uncovered. You want to come with us? >> Why? Why? >> What did I do wrong? >> Go speak in the office. We can go speak in the office. >> Okay. >> I'll take this with us. >> All right. We'll just leave it here for right now. >> Am I going to jail? >> The office over here. Have a seat for me. Have a seat right here. Do >> you have an ID card, too? No, ma'am. What did I do wrong? I didn't steal anything. You changed bags, didn't you? I did. Ma'am, please don't press charges. I will. I got the kids everything coming up. Please, ma'am. Don't >> you got your ID? >> I don't. >> Please don't make me go to jail. What's your name? Amanda Barber. >> From denial to admitting the truth, she realized she couldn't change anything. So, she did the one thing the officers didn't expect, taking advantage of the door that was still open. I hey >> stop. >> YOU'RE GOING TO GET TASED. YOU BETTER STOP. >> STOP RIGHT NOW. >> I'm so sorry. >> Put your hands [ __ ] back down. >> So sorry now. That's for sure. Boy, get away. >> Stop. >> I'm so sorry. >> Stop moving. >> I'm so sorry. >> I'm going definitely going to jump. >> Stop moving. >> I'm sorry. >> Will I get a bond when I get there? >> You grab my body again. >> Yeah. >> Please don't make it. >> You ran. >> I promise. Please. The kids. Got holidays coming up. >> That's on you. >> I'm going to Joanna. >> Oh, yeah. >> Will I get a bond? >> Sure. >> Today? Will I get a bond? >> Hey, hold her real quick. >> Can I bond myself out? >> Stop asking questions right now. >> It was shameful that she only mentioned her duty as a mother after being caught, not before she chose to steal. Running even added another charge. And the truth was, she had money. She didn't need to do any of it. >> Have a seat. >> Can I buy myself out with that money? >> Look, this is going in your pocket. >> Yes, sir. >> And I'm giving him this. >> That's what you left in the machine. >> I know Amanda Barber from >> years ago. She got caught chopped with me years ago when her >> It's not her. It's not Amanda. >> Oh, I don't know. I was asking. I might >> public around 10 minutes old. >> But that's >> No, but we we caught her years ago when Marco was still here. >> 1913. >> If that's her real name, Amanda Barber. >> Can you try to get her name date of birth again? What's your name and date of birth? >> Amanda Barber. >> What was the year? >> 1986. >> Amanda Barber. 1913 Central Amanda Barber. You don't have to apologize. Holidays are coming up. I shouldn't I got kids for the holidays? I shouldn't have. Why did I do that? >> Will I get a warrant when I or a bond when I get up here? >> Possibly, but you probably won't even get one till you go to the county. >> Can I bond myself out? >> I'm sure you can. >> I'm sorry. >> Are y'all going to charge me running? >> Yes. >> Is that a misdemeanor? >> Yes. >> What is it called? >> Obstruction. According to the investigation, she already had previous shoplifting convictions and a trespass order. She knew it and that might be exactly why she ran. >> Negative. She's showing 25 ft at the hall and a PTO that state she is banned from Walmart on Watson. >> And trespass has custody. Is >> that another charge? >> Yeah. >> You're already banned. >> Walmart. You knew you were trespassed from Walmart's good. I'll leave this unlocked. >> Is that her? >> Yeah, she was trespassed already. So, we'll get her for the trespass. >> So, you got I I can't access her old file. I just have >> she was on our old apist case. >> Remember her years ago? >> Years ago nervous >> when her babies were little. She was >> stealing like makeup and stuff like that. And we sent her to jail too >> years ago. >> Are they getting the amount? >> Yes. >> Yeah, they're doing the amount. >> It's too early for this. >> Too early. You're right. The woman, Amanda Barber, was charged with theft, criminal trespass, and obstruction of a police officer. Her prior shoplifting convictions triggered a felony enhancement, resulting in a 10-year prison sentence. Repeated theft and resisting police only leads to harsher consequences. There's no shortcut around accountability. Next up, another professional thief emerges, this time targeting thousands of dollars worth of Apple products. That's pretty.

Yes. >> To include witnesses. Okay. >> Right. So if you talk to your boss because again at the end of situation is is he's the one that's witnessing everything that's occurring because it is his responsibility. For some reason, somehow, you have you on camera looking right up at that camera, going into that safe, removing the envelope, taking $427 of cash and putting in your pocket. Yes. >> I never took $427 of cash. >> Did you save anything? >> I took nothing.

He's asking you these questions for a reason, >> right? >> Cooperation is key. >> I understand. >> I already have all the answers I need. >> Right. Okay. So, so so >> truthfulness goes a long way. >> Can I please? >> Even when the suspect saw his actions captured on video firsthand, he immediately changed his story yet still refused to admit to any wrongdoing. >> Video probably opening the the safe the the opening the cabinet.

I have a son I have to take care of, Dan. >> The man tried to plead with the manager, offering various excuses to change the outcome, but nothing went as he hoped. [snorts] Even in his confession, he still distorted the truth. >> It was 40 bucks. >> So, it went from I never took anything to it was $40. Michael, you have a pathological liar mentality. >> I'm just saying you have you said you have me on camera. >> Yeah, I showed it to you and you still are going to say that you didn't take anything. >> I didn't say I didn't take anything. >> Well, it went it started that way. >> Well, I'm just trying to tell you >> which is absolutely ridiculous. I'm just trying to tell you that you want me to tell you the truth. I'm telling you everything. >> You had that opportunity way before all this. >> I don't understand. >> I had to show you an actual footage. >> $4 million came from. >> Yeah, that's the amount that you stole, sir. >> I only took 400.

Thank you. >> He excused himself by saying he was homeless, broke with a useless food stamp card and admitted to stealing from JC Kai. But wait, the story wasn't that simple. >> Is this stuff yours? >> Yeah. >> Is there anything in there that I should be concerned about? >> Now's your time to tell me. Be honest. All right. Nothing in there. No drugs, no contraband of any sort. Got weed in it. That's all. >> Just weed. >> It's like some shake or we got some flour. >> No, it's just shakes. >> Just shakes. About how much?

All right. >> When checking his bag, officers found a small amount of marijuana he claimed was only about 3 g. [music] But during the ID check, he grew evasive. At times, admitting to being Nick Ruiz. at other times denying it. >> What's that? >> Is your name Jose? >> No, it's not. >> Were you ever referred as Jose before? >> No, not your name. >> Is that what it says on your ID when you had one? >> Yeah. >> Are you sure? >> Yeah. It's Nikki Ruiz. What it ruin? >> In the end, the suspect was officially charged with retail theft, providing false identification, resisting an officer, and unlawful possession of marijuana. This case is a stark reminder. A bit of stolen goods and just a few grams of weed may seem small, but it was enough to ruin his future. >> Proof, baby. Look, do you understand what I said? >> No, I understand what you're saying, but I'm just letting you know I was able to. >> On February 4th, 2025, police responded to an urgent call at Walmart after two women were found with carts full of merchandise claiming to be authorized to take the items. >> Do you have do you have any receipts or anything or no? Do you have any receipts? pull them up. >> Police immediately took the two suspects into the security office where they began questioning them. But things did not go as easily as expected. >> Receive messages because I've been working for these two for the longest. >> Oh, okay. We'll just search. >> Yeah, you guys. >> I got the receipts. Your name in here, too. You already know. >> All right. Well, at this point, I don't know what >> At this point, you guys are going to be detained for suspicion of >> retail. Yep. >> Okay. We never walked out the door, so we know the rules. >> Well, you passed the last point of purchase. >> It wasn't the last point. We was at the first floor. We know the rules. >> Okay.

Take anything out of here. >> Yeah. Huh? Look, I got the proof, baby. Look, >> you understand what I >> No, I understand what you're saying, but I'm just letting you know I was able to come in here freely. >> Soal walked out of here, too. I've been coming here. >> Yes, sir. You can run down, baby. No, I have nothing on me. >> But push the messages. That's all this told me to come in here to get.

Well, we're going to look at the footage and we'll determine from there. >> I'm not being aggressive. I'm not fighting. I'm not arguing. >> Shut off. I know. You can read the messages like that. >> Would the excuses of these two women stand against the surveillance cameras or not? Keep watching. >> And when they have the stuff in the truck that was done section in the >> never even scanned any of it. >> Hey, they still had more stuff in here. >> And they never scanned any of it. >> So yeah. >> What did they take? What's that? >> What did they pay for? >> You didn't pay for none of it. >> Is this all of it? >> No. Well, >> the cart. >> The carts. The two carts. >> Walk out the door.

You know what? >> I will take whatever you have there. So, >> you can't take nothing on my phone, baby. I'll pay that phone bill. I'm sorting an officer. >> Oh, no. No, that's fine. You can scroll through all you want. It's fine. >> It says where the money I got. Okay. >> So, it looks like they were in Davenport, too, and they got a hit there in Davenport. I have nothing to do with >> almost my name. Cameras showed carts full of unscanned items worth nearly $800. So officers separated the suspects for questioning. >> Okay. So what's going to happen? We're going to separate them cuz they're when we talk to them. We're going to ask one to come out here >> and go from there. >> What are you guys doing here? >> Um them like I was trying to explain why she was talking. I have nothing to lie about. They already know what's going on and everything. The crazy thing about it is they called us. We wouldn't have never been in here. Her name is, but her name in my phone is boss lady. If you scroll through my phone, all that cat food, and sorry, I'm not racist, but they call it people food. So, it's like salami, beef, that's all her food. I don't know why she playing donut. >> The little the lady that just took the cards. >> Yeah, >> I know her, too. She's in my phone as well. >> Identify me as a cousin. Remember I said that's my cousin. >> He's he's His name is Big C. You just went to the home. He just called me three times. I have no reason to lie. I wouldn't have never been in here until they called me to come in here. I They've been calling us and telling us to do this for the longest. So, like I told them, if I'm going down, y'all going down, too, cuz I would never been able to come in here without permission. >> She right there. She moves people around for us. >> No, I'm not aggressive. I'm not aggressive at all. So >> during separate questioning, one suspect shifted all the blame to a so-called boss, insisting she had only followed phone calls and instructions to take the items. >> You're saying that you got a call from who? >> Told us to come here to get the stuff that we got in that hotel that we got. Yes, sir. I had no reason to lie or I would have never been on these things. Who is her partner. Her too. I got stuff. So, >> they told you to come in, grab these items. >> Yeah. And not even notify anyone >> and no one >> and just to walk out. >> Mhm. >> Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. She move people around for us. >> Okay. What does that mean? >> Move them around. She's the boss. She can move them around and tell them to go on break. So, we can walk into >> I have no reason to lie. >> All right. >> You seen it in my phone? I gave you my phone. I hear you. All right. >> The second suspect was called in, but would her story match the first or fall apart? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, what are you guys doing here? >> Um, we got a call and said that he said that we were able to come in here. He needed a few things. Well, they needed a few things. Then we could also come in here and get some things for ourselves. >> Okay. Come in here. >> Are you supposed to pay for that? >> I mean, they just was going to wave the door. So, we can go through and do what we need to do. >> Okay, just leave. >> Yeah. >> The vague claims about being allowed to take items slowly unraveled. Officers then checked their call history and reached out to their so-called boss lady only to find surprisingly it was a man. >> Cuz they're saying that you uh told them to come in here to gather some stuff but not pay for it and walk out. >> No, that's a lie. Okay. of the last time of prosecution was January 17th trying to invite her over for my um birthday. >> Okay. And then you're sending pictures that she was sending you or you were sending her food items. >> We love folks. >> Okay. >> You know what I'm saying? Like I said, I haven't talked to him. I'm like he said, "No, I do anything else." >> Okay. police drive. So, >> no worries. I just I just wanted to tell us that you and Deborah are the ones who had told her to come in here and grab these items and not pay for that. I haven't >> No, no, I I saw that you haven't I saw you haven't texted her since. >> The so-called boss lady denied involvement, claiming she had cut contact since January, but the phone records told a different story. At that point, police had no doubts. Both women were handcuffed on the spy. >> Oh, that's fine. >> You put behind my back. >> Yep. >> At this point, you're going to be under arrest. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Oh, sorry. >> No. >> In the end, both women were charged with felony retail theft and trespassed from the property. This case reminded us no excuse can erase the truth. Dishonesty always leads straight to consequences. Next, let's see how a bank alert led cops straight to a mall thief. >> Did a bad decision. >> You don't try to say that I touch you, BRO. >> On June 14th, 2024, a sudden arrest took place at a shopping mall, leaving bystanders stunned. Police had tracked the suspects through bank transaction receipts from a previous wallet theft. Here is the full story. Yeah, cuz the thing was they had one of those so there's no way they parked it and dipped that fast for us to get this coin. That's why I kind of figured they went inside. Now she didn't care about the money, but her keys are in there. Car keys. >> Yeah, she says it's her insurance, her work keys, her home keys, and her car keys. >> Okay. Who's she? >> Uh, it's my friend. She's waiting at Foot Locker because that's where they said that they were going to be. >> From witness statements, officers immediately split into different directions to track the suspects while the victim's testimony was taken in detail. >> What happened? Okay. So, we were at Paxons and I had put like my keys somewhere like right on top of like something I was looking for and then when I went to go get them, they were gone. >> Yeah. Like my my Well, I didn't put this. >> So, it had like money in it.

This case is a reminder that one moment of greed and excuses can turn you into a bad example for your own child. Next, a case of an employee confident in her own cunning. On August 20th, 2025, Bloomingdale police received a report from a T-Mobile store about an employee who had secretly stolen multiple phones over a long period with significant losses. Let's see how she faced the consequences. >> Throughout couple days now, she's been taking stuff last couple weeks. >> Okay. >> Total of 19 phones and one Apple Watch.

So this Sunday I just passed. >> Okay. So like that. >> But our next shift is today 9:30. something. >> It's hard to believe the suspect calmly thought stealing 19 phones from the store would go unnoticed. The manager revealed that number wasn't even the full extent of what had gone missing, >> but we normally have like one of each device. >> Mhm. >> Uh-huh. >> And sometimes we have like multiple devices on this side, but for the most part, she's seen taken from here. >> Just the iPhones. >> Yeah. >> Um Samsung as well and Apple watches. >> Okay. But number of devices, >> right now I have nothing in the safe, but >> normally it's like a good >> The manager stated that the suspect knew the safe code and abused her access to steal devices and cash worth over $20,000 in just a few weeks. By then, police were already lying and wait before she arrived for her shift. >> Hi. >> Hi. I'm Detective Sus. It's my partner, Detective Johnson. >> Oh, do I? Um, hello. >> Do you kind of understand why we'd be here wanting to speak with you? >> Do you have an idea and you have any chance? >> No, not with me. >> You don't have anything with your name on it? >> Not today. >> Okay. Um, so we've kind of been informed of what's been going on regarding the cell phones. Um, but at this time, we are going to have to take you into custody. Okay. If you could just give me your bag >> and then hand my partner your phone. It's >> going to hold on for you. Right. >> You don't have anything on you, right? No. Pop. >> When arrested, she showed no sign of worry. Instead, she remained unusually calm. It seemed this wasn't her first time. >> Okay. Can you put your money back? >> Is this your store key? I'm going take this. That's probably Dave. Dave, is that you? I want to get your shirt. Cool. 674 tiny wrist. Is that too tight? >> I'm going to lock this so it doesn't tighten up on you. Okay. >> We'd like to talk to you about it. Um, we can do that at the >> female employee was quickly handcuffed and taken to the station where her excusefilled performance was just about to begin. Why do you think that we're in this situation right now? >> I'm just looking to hear from you. >> Okay. So, obviously T-Mobile has told us that some phones and some other items are missing. Do you know anything about that? some other >> Apple Watches. [music] >> I'm not going to sit here and see you act like I don't know what's going on. >> I appreciate that. >> So, yeah, I do I do know about the phones that are missing. Do >> you know how many phones are missing? What was the reason for taking us? >> Short on cash or something. [music] Is that something I can understand? >> Pretty good. You can understand it. But yeah, it was a smart thing to do. >> Okay. During questioning, she admitted to taking the phones, but excused it as financial struggles, student debt, and poor judgment. Instead of fear, she kept smiling, almost as if it were just a game. >> What did you do with those phones? >> Um, I gave them away. >> Okay. Friends, family. >> Friends. >> Do you know which friends you gave them to? >> Huh? >> Do you know which friends you gave them to? >> Mhm. Are you the one to tell me who you give it to? Not necessarily that they're going to be in trouble, but I'm being quite honest. We're trying to get those phones back. >> Okay. Did you get money in return for the phones? >> Um, just a bit. >> Okay. How much were you getting for per phone? >> How much were you getting per phone? >> Five. >> Five bucks. Do you know how many phones you sold off? >> Only two. >> Only two. Okay. What you do with the rest of the phones? taking more than that. >> Yeah, I think you took more than three phones. >> Okay. >> At first, she claimed she only took two or three phones to gift friends and sell cheaply. But when confronted with clear evidence from the store, she later admitted to a much larger number, yet still kept an oddly calm demeanor. >> Would know anything about it or since that was my mistake, I wouldn't really tell anyone if I made a mistake. Okay. >> All right. What is that address? >> This is my mom dress. She's nosy. I hate when she gets my >> Okay. >> She opens the vault for you. So, >> how do you think your mom? >> I really don't even want to tell her. >> In the end, the employee was charged with grand theft, stealing over $20,000 in phones, electronics, and cash. She now faces serious felony charges, years in prison, and heavy fines.
