WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO? >> SHE'S COUNTING. She's counting stuff right now. But you see the safe is open down here. >> She's going to come back at 6:25. >> I'm willing to pay everything back. >> Yeah, >> cuz I don't want to go to jail. Sometimes it wasn't just strangers sneaking in to commit theft, but the very employees trusted by store owners. Whether it stemmed from greed or something else remained unclear. Find out in today's video as these workers were caught at their own workplace. We are This is Law. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Starting with this woman. She had disappointed her own manager. >> Woman that did it. So I I just >> I didn't You can watch our C. We have cameras. Hang up. >> This is Random. She showed us a screenshot of the cash app. We looked her up on LCSO. >> On November 18th, 2024, police were dispatched to a T-Mobile store after receiving a report that a female employee had taken a customer's device and transferred money to her Cash App account. As officers approached, she remained completely calm, as if she had already anticipated what was coming. >> You perfect. You have somewhere in private. >> Let me call you back. All right. We can step out front and press. >> Uh, do you have a separate office or anything like that or is this just >> Okay. Can we go stop here? >> Okay. Um. >> Huh? >> Yeah. Perfect. That's fine. Okay.

Um, so before I ask any questions or anything, I'm going to read you your rights. Okay. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now? >> Yeah. >> Okay, perfect. So, we are here investigating a theft that occurred. Okay. With one of your clients that you helped with a phone, okay, it's an older lady. Her name is Paula or Paulie. >> Paul. I work at a phone, so I >> Yeah. No, you're fine. I guess it was earlier today. I have to read her statement. Um she said that she came in here for a phone problem saying that she cannot download any apps. >> Okay. Um she said that you um told her that she has to get a brand new phone cuz I guess you can't put a SIM card in or some type of card to help her have more storage. >> So she said that she gave her your phone. She stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and that you went through her phone on cash app and sent her $400. >> Her phone is right there. She did a If that's the customer I'm thinking she talking about. She did a trade in. Yes, but I'm talking about you going through her phone on her cash app to send you $400. >> No, I didn't do that. >> The woman denied all the allegations brought against her, but she did not realize that the police already had evidence provided by the victim. >> Prove otherwise. >> So, this is what she's showing us that was on her phone from her cash app. >> All right. Would you agree? Um, I'm saying >> yeah, that's me. >> That's you. Okay. All right. confirming. This is what was sent from her phone to your cash app. >> And it shows >> my cash app. >> All right. And it shows right here Pauls, which is our victim payment received. >> All right. >> And I didn't receive that. >> You did it. There's $400 that went to your bank account on cash up. $466. Okay. You already had $66 before that. >> I didn't even I didn't even see that come in. >> You're the one that did it. So, I I just >> I didn't You can watch our C. We have cameras in here. >> This is your MO. I already looked up your your jail history. Okay. You've been arrested for I mean, you can tell me. Roger useful for credit card, identity theft, all the above. Okay. probable cause is that's exactly what you just did. Okay, I'm going to go contact my supervisor. >> At that moment, an officer met with the store manager to explain the situation and it was clear that the story came as a complete surprise to her. >> Okay, so we're here investigating a theft that occurred. Okay. From so the complainant called in, okay, saying that she went to the store for a phone problem. I guess there was no um not enough storage on her phone to download apps that she wanted or she needed help downloading apps. She told her that she needs a whole new phone to do so. And I guess there's I'm not exactly where the policy is or how phones work, but she said she needs to get a hold. She's like, "Okay, no problem. No problem." Um, I guess the complainant gave Kayla her phone. She came out here to smoke a cigarette, the complainant, and while doing so, Kayla went on her phone, went on her cash app, and sent her $400. Actually, more than that. Um, $400 actually went through and it was processed access. I think she tried 500 another time. Okay. Which is really silly because her cash up has her whole face on it. >> So you guys have confirmed this. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Do you know when this took place? >> When? Um it happened today. Cash App's time is weird. It said 9:18 p.m. Obviously, it's 7:21, but she gave us address. Um we we confirmed she showed us a screenshot of the cash app. We looked her up on LCSO um website and this is her memo fraudulent lease with a credit card um identity theft so on so forth. >> The manager became completely disappointed by what had happened. Back inside the store, the suspect had still shown no real remorse, even attempting to twist the story to shift blame onto the manager. That's my district manager in my house. >> Yes. Yes. >> She's been here all day. She was even here when the lady came. We was all in the front. She was standing through. She pull up the camera. She was standing right there. We have a store full of customers. >> Okay. Well, I'm not sure who else would go through her phone besides you. >> Me and her both were I'm not saying she did, but we were both doing her devices. We both helped the lady. >> Okay. Um, are you willing to send the complainant back, the victim back her money? >> Yes. >> All right. Let's go ahead and do that. Um, once she does that, when she's doing that, I guess the district manager wants her to close out her stuff for the job. >> I was asking her if she want to happen as she wanted me to close. >> Yeah. And I think that's what she wants you to do. Yeah. So, if you could stay tensible with her, I'm going to call the victim back to see what she wants to do now. >> Okay. Okay. >> Right. >> Um, then we'll go from there. But I want to see make sure you're >> I'm trying to see where it came from. That's a P. P I L. What is that? Two L's. One L. Three. >> Um, two. Yep. Paula. T I L L I S. Yep. >> It's right out the back door and everything. >> Shortly after, the woman was escorted to the back of the store where officers proceeded with the next steps to handle the situation. >> I'm sorry. my arms a little nut can't cut. >> There's no way I can get a criminal citation. >> Like I said, that would have been the best scenario for you, but unfortunately I'm looking to >> Hello, >> Mom. My car is in the back. >> Okay. But um so so what what happened? The lady say I cash that myself, but me, my boss, and we we had a store full of customers. We was standing, she was standing right there the entire time. >> So, okay. But if ain't no proof you you cashed out yourself her money. >> That's That's what she said when all I was doing was setting up her devices. >> Okay. But wait a minute. So, if do you did it show that you cashed out yourself? >> Yeah, it was on my cash app. >> Okay. Well, then you did that? >> No, I did not. All right. How? >> The woman was ultimately charged with fraud for her actions. Trust, once broken for personal gain, can destroy not only a career, but also credibility forever. And in the end, a moment of dishonesty can lead to consequences far greater than the reward was ever worth. Next, the woman even tried to shift the blame back onto her own store. >> You never watch, sir. I'm telling you to your face. You never watch me on a video cancel order. I'm telling you that because if you >> Your dad's a police officer. >> Uh my dad's a detective. But >> on August 15th, 2025, police received a call from Wawa reporting a suspected employee theft. Here's what unfolded when officers arrived at the scene. >> So, um at this one, she um she does a gift card and she brings a gift card through and then doesn't put any cash in the till. And then there were other incidents where she um avoids items and then puts the cash underneath her. >> Um >> is it is it employee? >> An employee. >> Oh, it's an employee. Okay. Did you guys just like confront her about it today or something or >> So yeah, lost mention was on the phone with her and then before you could even get her to give a statement, she went it. >> Gave her a statement over the phone. >> Yeah. >> Okay. She was working here. >> She was working today. Yeah. >> And all these incidents, did you have it on video? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So a lot of these are voids. So she would bring the customer through, >> okay, >> void it >> and then >> and then um take the money. >> Okay. And >> instead of cashing out the customer, >> so she would ring them, act like they were or ring them up, void it out of the register and >> they would give her the money and then she would void it >> out of the register and then take >> cash it out and she would take the cash. >> Yeah. So she the way she does is she's sneaky. She puts So if they need a receipt, she'll put like a cup of ice in 50 cents. So it's still through the register and then she'll just void the other item that she's taken the money. >> Okay, hold on. >> So she brings up So the customer gets two cartons of cigarettes, Newports. >> Two Newports. Okay. >> And a um large mixed fruit and then she puts that cup of ice co that cup of ice coat in. >> And then what she does is she'll cancel the she the customer paid cash. >> Okay. So, she cancelled before she hit cash, she cancelled um out the the cigarettes. >> She canceled out the cigarette. Yeah. Okay. >> According to the report, the suspect voided 76 transactions, stealing cash and gift cards totaling at least $750. Later that evening, police also surprised her at her home. >> How's it going? Hey, we got to talk to you about something real quick. >> You're Tasia, right? >> Dasia. >> Yeah. Tamaya. >> Tamaya. Yes. >> Yeah. All right. If if you don't mind setting that down for me. >> Oh my goodness. >> I'll explain to you my teeth. I'll explain. I'll explain everything to you. Huh? >> Don't worry. What's wrong? >> It's okay, ma'am. >> Reys. >> Ma'am, uh I'm done 12 and nine alpha. We'll be switching to division one. >> I'll explain, man. I'll explain everything to you. Just switch the war. Uh, can you put your feet in close? Thank you, ma'am. We'll explain everything to you. Okay. H. >> She was handcuffed in front of her family, leaving them confused, but police quickly took care to explain what had happened. >> Is that mom or your sister? >> Grandma. >> Okay. Are you related to her or no? >> I'm her girlfriend. >> Oh, okay. >> I'm her grandma. >> We're both. Thank you. Uh, so I don't know the details of the case, right? But at one point at one point she made a mistake, you know, involved some fraudulent activity as far as I know cuz I'm not the investigating officer. >> Mhm. >> But there's there's active pros as far. Okay. So we come, we make contact. Um I mean if you like a followup, we can give you a call back with more details. I'm sure she she'll bond out and explain everything to you. >> Fraudulent activity. Yes. Like something with with like I said, I'm not the investigating officer, but all I see is that she has a active problem cause her an arrest. So, I go pick her up. Matter of fact, the the the detective that's working the case would like to talk to her. So, I'm going to bring her to the detective and then we'll go from there. Okay. >> Okay. So, she being arrested? >> Yeah. So, right now, she's under arrest. >> Yeah. >> Like go to jail? >> Yes, ma'am. Yeah. So, she still has to get bugged and go through the judiciary process. You know, this the um she gets bugged, postponed, and then, you know, gets released. Hopefully, if everything checks out, she's on probation for anything or anything like that. And then, you know, they you know, it's between the state attorney's office and and and the case, you know, and >> All right. You know, your phone number? >> Yeah. >> Okay. But I ain't got the um >> Yeah, I'm sorry. I mean, >> the woman was brought back to the store to face the detective and under their pressure, she began to share her side of the story. >> My understanding is that you are an employee of Wawa, right? For about 4 months. What happened there? >> He was basically saying that I was boarding something. >> Mhm. and >> put putting it on a gift card or whatever. But >> I'm sorry. I didn't hear what you just said. >> He said I was voiding something. >> Voiding? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Did he tell you what you were voiding? >> Um no. And then he was like asking me like um what was I doing with the the money that I was voiding with or whatever. >> Uhhuh. >> But I don't you need a manager to void. I didn't know I didn't know how to void or anything. So I didn't know what he was talking about. But then he was like, "You know, you do know what I'm talking about." And then he was like, "Oh, you've been voiding stuff and putting it on a gift card, some stuff like that." But the only thing that I've ever like, you listening? >> I am listening. >> I just want to show you exactly what he's talking about. Go ahead. >> So, the only thing that I ever put on a gift card was like tips. And they never told me that I couldn't put my tips on gift card. >> How many times did you put your tips on a gift card? >> Uh, how many times I ever got a tip? Hold on. >> You need help? >> No. Those just get you. Oh, >> how many times I got a tip? How many? >> About how many times? Estimated. >> I get tips all the time. >> One, four, >> five times, 10 times. How many times have you put your tips on a gift card? >> Every time I get a tip like I always get a tip, >> no matter how hard how long I work, whenever I >> But can you estimate how many times did you get a tip? >> Uh, probably like nothing. >> She claimed that everything belonged to her tips and dodged all the accusations, unaware that they already had evidence to directly confront her lies. Okay, I'm a reasonable person, but you voided a cup of ice 76 times. >> A cup of ice. >> You You voided transactions and you charged for a cup of ice 76 times. Why did you do that? >> There's got to be an answer cuz if you want me to be honest with you, you got to be honest with me. So, I think we're past cuz we're we're past that. Okay, just remember I've looked at video already >> and I spoke that man's name. His name is Davidson. >> David Nson, you guys were having a conversation and when he brought up some of these allegations, you left. >> Oh, no. Um, >> you went to the bathroom and then you went home. No. >> So, what he's So, let me just to show you an example. >> All right. So, this is your receipt. This is you. You were on the cashier. Do you recall this transaction? A lady purchased, and I know this is from July July 6, but a lady purchased a carton of cigarettes 9735. >> Another carton of cigarettes 9735 and large bowl of fruit. You cancelled the cardinal cigarette, the cardinal cigarette, the fruit bowl, and you rung off a cup of ice. Do you recall that transaction? >> Yes, sir. >> No. What if I told you that you took the $200 that that lady gave you >> and you counted it on camera and you put that money to the side? >> When the details were laid out, the woman could hardly deny them. Yet, she shifted tactics, growing angry as if to blame others instead of herself. >> I'm trying to be fair with you, and I'm trying to be >> You got to take some ownership. >> No, listen, sir. I'm I'm And I'm taking ownership. If I knew >> What's the ownership that you're taking? I'm taking the this is the ownership that I'm taking. >> Yes. >> If I wasn't trained on the register, right? I wasn't trained on the register and I just told you that Wawa register does have a lot of problems to where when you press certain stuff, it clears it out. Every anybody that you talk to from Wawwa, if you go there to talk to them from Wawwa, they will uh let you know that 76 I'm confused as to why 76 items 76 items of ice. >> Yes. >> No, no, no. You cancel. So, let me show you receipts. >> Here's another receipt. >> Mhm. You cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel all of those items >> and where did the camera you took the money >> I took the money >> why did how could you say that I took the money >> you cancel it 26 times >> okay you said 76 >> yeah when I count so so for the record >> Mhm. >> I have a staple >> but here's here's here's one receipt let me uh >> you don't have to count it I'm actually >> No I'm just going to show you everything they gave me >> Uh-huh. >> cancelled >> Mhm. sale of a cup of ice. >> You are very good at it, Tamaya. >> Actually, I want to tell you, you were very good at it. Even in your mannerisms, I even told Miss uh Broxson, I think Broxson, I said she's very good. She's very good at the cashier. Like, you're very smooth. >> No, I actually >> here. Cancel. Cancel. 50 cents, cup of ice. Hold on. >> Okay, you're going. >> So, it's 76. >> You said 76. >> That's not an accident. >> No, I never said it was an accident. Did I? >> Not stopping there. Even as she began admitting her actions, she started digging into the manager's mistakes to justify her behavior. >> I understand what the paper's saying, but on a video, even if >> you're not even acknowledging that you're wrong a couple >> um the video the the stuff that he's talking about with me taking the money that's in the joy. That's before, if you look at the evidence, that's before I knew about my gift cards, right? >> Anytime I got a tip and it was time for me to do a safe job, yes, I did take my money. But if you go over the records of Waw Wa um drawer count or whatever, my drawer never ever came up short because I always added my tips up or I let my manager know my amount of my tips. She'll count my drawer and you know she'll do her job basically and she let me okay it's okay. Now, like I said, I have well, not just saying you can't do any, not necessarily saying you can't do anything, but in my proof, there's managers that I've worked with, that I've talked to about this situation when it was brought to my attention, and they all told me the same thing. If anything ever happened, let us know because this isn't what they're trying to pin on me or what they're trying to say is not true. >> Okay. >> And I did um what did she tell me to let you know? >> Um there is a manager there that I actually got into it with to where she started doing like little funny stuff and I kept track of that too. So I'm not going >> okay. >> She started doing like little funny stuff around my drawer like taking money out my drawers like little petty stuff and she'll come on my computer and also um every time I'm not on my drawer right I don't always log out my drawer. So if I leave my like if I leave my number in my drawer and somebody else come on my drawer my name is still up there just so y'all know. >> Okay. >> With his detective instance. In the end, the suspect was charged with grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. Abusing trust and denying clear evidence only made the situation worse, proving that accountability and honesty are unavoidable, no matter personal connections or excuses. Next, the employee believes she could deny everything, even in the face of undeniable evidence. >> Opening the safe now. >> Mhm. >> She's taking it out. >> I got charges on you for grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. >> Okay. What? What did I have? >> On March 6th, 2025, police were dispatched to a Dollar General store after receiving a report of a theft that had taken place. The suspect was believed to be one of their own employees who had made over $10,000 in bank deposits vanish. To understand the details, the store manager then recounted what had happened. >> Um, have you guys got a hold of her? >> Yeah, she won't she don't answer the phone. Uh, she gave me some story about her being in the hospital. the loss prevention person that normally does this got tied up today. So, he asked me to call and make a report. >> Um, >> so did she prove she did she prove anything that she's at the hospital right now, though? >> No, she No. >> How many deposits has she missed? >> Uh, we're missing $10,000 >> from like one deposit or >> No, it's six. It's a total of six deposits. >> You got it all printed out here. I just haven't been able to put it on the DVR yet, but I don't think you guys can take the pictures anyway, right? You have to I have to upload it. >> Yes. >> Yeah. So, I'll get all that. But basically all of these deposits that are in yellow. >> So I have a question. What's her phone number? >> 615. >> I could just write it down here so I could try to make contact with her. Are these >> Oh, her phone number. >> Yes. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said mine. >> So these are from different this is from >> all these days right here except this one we did find. This one is good. So >> So how did how did you find this one? What does that mean? >> I went to the bank and the bank had this one. >> The bank did have that one. >> Yes. And >> but they didn't have any of these. >> They don't have any of these? No. No record of it ever going >> her name is Chelsea. And she's not even she's not she's not even signing them out under her name. She's signing them out under someone else's name. But on the video we got video of her >> in here, right? >> Yeah. Well, up the the safe is up front. So, we got video of her taking it out and then um taking it out of the building. The suspect was believed to have refused to show up, claiming she was hospitalized. But shortly after, the manager began to question the validity of her proof of hospitalization. >> Was the hospital she was at? >> She did not. But we we know it's [ __ ] because she um we h we she actually hired a girl here that she used to work with at Dunkin Donuts. Mhm. >> And the girl told us that she had the same issue, not the deposit issue, but the same thing about being in the hospital. >> And when um when we showed her this picture, she's like, "That's the same picture she used at her other job when she was there and told him she was in the hospital." >> And I knew it was kind of suspicious because in this picture here, she has red hair and she don't have red hair anymore. She dyed her hair. So that's the picture she sent me of the hospital. And then I look at the, you know, she sent me this as well. And then she sent the picture two days later, the same two pictures >> to her up front. >> And it's the same picture with the same date and everything like this is the new update. It's not. It's the same picture. >> To support his statement, the manager also provided crucial surveillance footage that captured her taking money from the safe. >> She's opening the safe now. >> Mhm. So she's taking it out and then she's putting it right in her pocket there with her phone like all slick. Jeez. >> So she never put she never came back here and like dropped it off here. She just walked out with that. >> Well now, so now she holds on to the deposit. >> She comes back here at 8:48 >> and logs it out cuz here's the log right here. So 8:48 she logs it out. And then at 9:20 it 9:20 that's a different day. Let me see what day she takes it from the store on that day from the safe at 6:44. So that she hasn't been herself for like 2 hours >> and then she leaves and then she comes back at 9:33. >> So her last day here was the 26th. >> No, her last day here was the 28th. >> The 28th. >> Yeah. Uh, not good. >> All right. So, I'll put that I'll send that email with all the description and all the times >> you can you can add that to the email. Just send you the the request link. The actual cont request link. You add that you add the video footage of her leaving the store. Okay. >> So, the initial estimated value was clarified into six separate stolen deposits, bringing the total to exactly $13,241. At that point, another team of officers quickly located the woman and detained her. Uh, >> I got charges on you for grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. >> Yeah. What What did I defraud? >> Well, before I get into any of that, I have to read you your rights. Okay. >> All right. But that's what you're being charged with. And uh is there anyone else in the house right now? >> My phone sleeping. >> How old is your son? >> 18. >> 18. No one else. Any uh pets? >> Uh ferrets. >> Okay. No large dogs or anything? No. Right. >> Yeah. Okay. It's okay. Listen, man. It's it's the state and it takes the time and you just literally 30 minutes ago. So, >> it's been like an hour over an hour. We'll see. >> You want to come with me right over here to my car? >> Accompanying the suspect was a man who spoke on their behalf, serving as clear evidence that the woman was fully aware of what was happening. before that the district manager told she told him look the woman that Sonia that's her cashier she's the main one that do messing up the money before she got there he knew that he went came in there I was right there witnessing and everything he had a ball like 13,000 and he went to it says 13,000 it seems like so because she didn't put the numbers in right and she numerous of times not doing that and then next thing you know >> well the thing is I'm going to tell you the truth um she leaves with the money supposed to deposit it they never get deposited >> okay um you want to explain why those funds were never deposited into the bank >> not to all right so we're not going to ask you any further questions um we do have search warrant for your house. Well, we will uh have one moment clearly and uh once we get done searching your house, uh you'll be on your way to the jail. >> The woman completely refused to cooperate with the investigation while the man initially tried to deny everything. However, under the officer's questioning, he eventually revealed the full truth about >> Well, I'm going to stop you there. Here's the thing. Okay. >> He comes, he says, "Hey, the 20th was never deposited." She goes, "Oh, wait. I have the slip." goes, "We'll go get it." She brings him the slip and guess what? It's from the 27th. Okay. So, she departs. >> Is there Is there any large amounts to make it easy for you guys? So, we're not here for hours >> for you especially. I'm not Is there anywhere we should be looking? >> To my knowledge, no cash? >> No. There should be no cash in the house. >> I do not go through my girl's draw. So, honestly, I do not. >> She just got her tax refund, >> as I know. >> And do you know how much that was? >> No, cuz it's all her fault. I don't >> It should That should have went straight to into her bank, right? >> The woman was charged with grand theft and an organized scheme to defraud attempting to cover your tracks with lies or fake excuses won't hide your actions. Surveillance, records, and careful documentation leave a trail that can't be erased. And any scheme, no matter how clever, can quickly unravel. And sometimes regret comes far too late. Just like with the next woman. >> Randy, tell me why I'm here today. >> I've been stealing from the Dollar Tree. >> So, 600 in cash, about $700 in merchandise. So, about $1,300 stolen worth of stuff. >> On May 7th, 2025, officers received a call from Dollar Tree reporting a theft, but shockingly, it was carried out by one of their own employees. Upon arrival at the scene, the manager was immediately approached and his statement was obtained. Take a sign from the source. She was cash and return to the system. >> Okay. >> She was interviewed by false on the phone. She had medical. >> Okay. She's in the office right now. >> The dollar the dollar. Oh yeah. >> And I I think the best thing for her is to go outside of the box, go through the system, and say what she has to say until she can get the help. >> She's in the office right now. Just cut the water back and it turned out real good. Shortly after, officers took her statement, and it seemed the female suspect had already admitted to her actions, as everything was clearly shown through her ongoing tearful remorse. >> Hello. Hello. I'm deputy with the sheriff's office. What's your name? >> Britney. >> Britney. Britney, tell me why I'm here today. >> Nothing stealing from the Dollar Tree. What exactly have you been stealing >> merchandise? Have to read this to you cuz you know I don't I have to cuz they're going to ask you some specific questions. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Do you understand each of these rights are explained to you? With these rights in mind, do you still wish? >> Yes, I am. >> Miss Britney, you advise concealing money and merchandise. Has has this been an overtime process? >> I said the last two months. >> So, for the past two weeks, you've been >> two months. >> Two months. I'm sorry, I'm hard of hearing with this radio on my ear. Um, so for the past two months, you've been taking money in merchandise. How would you go about taking the money? Um, >> post voids. >> Post voids. >> Post voids. Okay. Can you explain post voids to me? I'm not entirely sure what that is. >> Where someone would check out and get all their stuff and then they would pay for it and I would just go back and void it. >> So, you would void the transaction and take the cash amount that they gave to the register and take that money for yourself. >> The woman admitted everything about the fraudulent cash withdrawals. But it didn't stop there as officers then revealed that she had also been taking merchandise from the store. >> I have taken food. >> Okay. >> And a fan. >> Okay. >> Mostly. >> Okay. How much do you think you've taken as terms value wise? >> $1,500 worth of merchandise >> just in merchandise >> maybe. $700. >> $700 in merchandise. That's just a rough estimate. You don't give me approximate. And you think you've taken $1,500 in cash or you've known you've taken $1,500 in cash? >> Um, I think I've taken like I don't know how much in cash. >> If you had to rough guess, what do you think? >> Like 600. >> So 600 in cash about $700 in merchandise. about $1,300 stolen worth of stuff. >> Remember, she carried out this loss over the course of 2 months, but the justification behind it became even more questionable. >> What's the reason behind it? >> Um, I was staying at this hotel and they were getting pushy with needing stuff >> and I felt like I had to. >> What do you mean needing stuff? >> Like they need cleaning stuff. The people next to us always needed food and I didn't know what to do. They were just very aggressive people. >> Was it the the hotel staff or the people that were living with you in the hotel? >> It was the hotel staff and the people in the room next to us. >> You say us or someone else that was living with you at the time? Who was living with you at the time? >> My husband. Michael. >> Your husband. Are you still married to Michael? >> Yes. >> Okay. Yes. >> Okay. So, the stuff stealing stems upon the demand of the hotel staff wanting things. >> Yes. And we left the hotel and I'm willing to pay everything back. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I don't want to go to jail cuz I'm not that kind of person. Based on the value of the losses and her actions, officers quickly reached a conclusion in the case. At that point, they explained everything to the manager. >> She's being arrested. Okay. Um, she's going to jail. Um, she was like trespassing the dollar store after this. So, I'll get that done. Give you a case card. Has my email on top. Just when you get the video, put your email. All right. Cool. And it is 2:32. Please conduct his statement. Mr. Williams, do you have anything else for? >> No, I'm good. I appreciate it. >> It is hot outside. I appreciate it. Thank you. >> Miss, can you go ahead and grab my car, please? >> Okay, I'll come back. Okay. Go to the passenger side of my go. I'll let you answer. Go ahead and sit down for me. Miss Ry, do you have anything on your persons as a legal cont? >> In the end, the woman was charged with felony grand theft and an organized scheme to defraud. Her actions began with small justifications, but they quickly escalated into serious crimes that cost her freedom and trust. No matter the pressure or circumstances, choosing dishonesty only leads to consequences far worse than the problem itself. Next, the employee even let down her co-workers, deepening the sense of betrayal. >> I mean, I did it that time because I needed the money, but other than that, that was it. >> So, you needed the money, but you didn't put So, you didn't have the money, then you loaded up, but you never found me, did you? >> No. On December 2nd, 2023, police received a report from a 711 regarding an employee suspected of theft. She was accused of exploiting refund transactions to transfer money directly into her Cash App account. Upon arriving at the scene, the owner provided a detailed account of what had occurred. >> She does a refund on gas. Okay. >> So, we will never be able to find out because it'll be anything happens on 7-Eleven on gas goes to a credit card. Okay. >> So, it goes in a credit card short. I'm like, this is how the system is set up with 700. >> So, we were looking for we were looking for where's the money and then short in the gas. >> Mhm. >> We were never focused on the on the >> cash >> on the cash on the cash load, card load and all that. >> Okay. >> Till yesterday, last night, I was I was I was short for almost $300. >> Okay. >> So, I figured out and I went to my electronic general everything that we record. >> Mhm. >> So, she I saw that very This is very strange. This never happens. She loads up a card, a cash app. >> Mhm. >> And then immediately next transaction is $300. Loads up and next transaction is $300 cash gas refund. >> Okay. >> So that actually raised my my quiry. I'm looking because since the time she joined, we are having we used to be very tight. Now we are having variances like swings, you know, crazy. And we don't have no explanation for that. He's the manager by the way. Okay. >> He's helping me out with his child. It's supposed to be his day off. So >> Oh, okay. Yeah. >> So, the woman had been considered a trusted member here, but she had let them down. And even the missing money confirmed shortly after only deepened their disappointment. >> Would you say >> all I total up is $2,250? >> $2,250. >> You have the record for >> last 3 months. >> Okay. >> Last 3 months. >> Yeah. >> Sometimes she does. So, >> so you you want to get the footage? >> Yes. >> And then for example, 200 here. >> How do I do that? How would I do that? Sir, sir, sir. 200 here. She loads up 200 gasoline right here. 942 942. >> Okay. >> In the morning. >> Okay. >> So, there's no customer standing in the front. >> The woman's theft scheme was uncovered she had been performing fraudulent gas refunds and sending the money to her cash app account. But would the story change once she was questioned directly? >> Was there an issue with the with the gas? >> No, I didn't have an issue with gas. >> Nothing happened with the gas? >> No. So, a guy came in and he was going to get gas, but then I hit cash and then he just paid on the car. >> Okay. >> Other than that, I didn't have an issue. >> No, right. Machine all fine. Everything was fine, right? Everything was great, right? >> Yeah, I know. >> Um, so I am almost $300 short. >> How much? >> 300. >> What? >> I don't know. You were working last night, right? >> I work yesterday. >> Yesterday morning, right? I'm talking on morning. >> So, anything with the with the car loan, anything that happened? You remember? >> Nothing. >> Um, so now I'm going to interview you and I'm going to see if you're willing to talk to me, of course, about it. You want to talk to me knowing these rights? >> Um, I don't have nothing to say. >> Okay. Okay. So, we're going to have to ask you some questions. >> We're going to have to ask some questions. And you guys, are you willing to answer those questions without a lawyer or you want to >> um I will say answer. >> The worry was clear on the woman's face. And seizing that moment, the police quickly cut to the chase, testing whether her shaken state would force her to tell the truth. >> Like he was saying, there's some money missing, some transactions that was going on um while you're on ship. All right. So, can you elaborate on that? What's going on with that with those transactions that he was talking about? Um, well, I'm not sure. Like I said, it wasn't nothing that really too much happened. Like, I've been gone for a while, so coming back, uh, it was like only only mistake that What is it? >> No, go ahead. >> Only mistake that I can think of is, you know, like when we ring up stuff and you hit, uh, cash out, then you have to redo it, like refund it or whatever the case is. But other than that, I didn't have no issues yesterday. Like don't get me wrong, um I forgot like how to do the gas thing, but even still with that, it wasn't the lady that was here, she helped me, but it wasn't nothing big. >> Okay. So, explain to me how that works a little bit, the gas situation. Like, so a customer comes in and they say they want to put whatever amount of money for gas, correct? And then how does that work on your side? Well, when they come in and get gas, like we ring it up, we hit gas sales. Um, sometimes moving fast and stuff like that. Uh, you know, you can either cash it out or however it go, but you also got to make sure you do it on the actual other side of the computer, but like I said, I didn't have no issues to where nothing came about as if it was needed. So, I'm not sure. >> The woman flatly denied any theft and refused to acknowledge anything involving the gas machine. Yet the police pressed on, observing her reaction once she learned the cameras had captured her at the time. >> U the owner um he was telling me that he has video footage, all right, of you trying to select do a transaction for gas, >> but there's no customers at at the counter at on those times. So >> now I know I did go in like if there's money left on the thing, we take like we clear it out. We hit the before we close down. We hit the thing. We close it out. We come back to the register. We refund it. We put in a brown bag. But I don't see where I went to the gas. I don't know. Like I don't know where I went to the gas and it wasn't a customer in front of me. If that makes sense. >> I elaborate a little bit on that cuz I'm not >> um So like you saying he showed video footage of me going to the >> Yeah. like you're in the cash register like doing a transaction for gas, but then you cancel it out right away, but then there's money missing. Like he was saying he was missing $300. So, >> how does like I said, I'm not sure because I didn't have no issues really too much yesterday with anything like I had that one incident, but not to where it had anything to do with gas or anything like that. Somebody did come in and pay. >> Um, and then I made a mistake and he hit cash, but I redid it to where he paid with his card and then I remembered to refund it. But other than that, >> I don't You being truthful? >> I am. >> You are being truthful. >> I am. >> Okay. >> Has you at the cash register by yourself scanning? Is it the phone? Cuz I'm trying to figure this out. >> Yes. >> Scanning your phone. >> I didn't I didn't scan my phone. Like don't get me wrong, sometimes I put in a number so that we have more rewards, but I didn't scan my phone. >> The video shows you doing it. >> I have 15 videos shows you doing it and then next transaction you cancel the gas. So that makes more sense. We I've never seen this happening. Obviously, I'm losing money every time you do that. >> You want me to show you the video? Yeah, you can show me the video >> because I have I have the videos. I have the reports from 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven reported that for me, too. They're losing money left and right. >> From her repeated I'm not sure and constant shifting gaze, it was clear she was lying. Under the pressure from the store owner, she finally admitted to her actions. Yesterday, I personally I didn't I didn't I didn't do anything as far as I didn't do anything yesterday. I like I said, I cleared out the gas. I cleared out to where um like like you said, we go to the thing and clear it out and come back. But other than that, no, I didn't I didn't I didn't do anything yesterday. >> How about the days prior? >> I've uh I've loaded I loaded money to cash out one time before I have, but other than that, I have not. >> You've loaded money to see I'm just trying >> like I've personally loaded money to cash out. >> I don't get it either. >> Okay. So So you load >> What do you mean you c you loaded money to cash out? Like if I needed like being that it's just like me here or whatever, I would I have once loaded money to my like >> Did you steal any money from the second? >> No. >> So if you're loading up the cash in the cash app, did you put the money in the register? >> Yes. >> Why will you do that? Because I'm short here. My question is employees don't load up their own cash app. >> Correct. >> So why are you doing it? That's the reason why you're doing it. Why were you doing >> I mean I did it that time because I needed the money but other than that that was it. >> So you needed the money but you didn't put So you didn't have the money then you loaded up but you never informed me did you? >> No. >> Okay. And u told me I would help you out. So how much money was that? >> Um it was $200. >> Did you take the $200? >> Upload it to the cash. Even after admitting, she tried to twist her story, claiming she hadn't done it before, but the store owner immediately confronted her with the fact that her prior actions had been confirmed. Okay, >> you loaded up a card for 1046 at $300. >> So, is there any reason why she should be touching that cash register without a customer present? >> There's no need. >> Like even if you go to the gas and when we clear it out and come back, we refund it and put it in. >> There's no refunding, ma'am. >> Right. But at the same time, when you I personally when we don't have when you're doing the rewards number you tell us to stop using our phone numbers cuz they record it. >> You're talking two different things. >> I'm talking about No. So >> no I I know >> again I'm telling you if you tell us the truth you go our way. >> Wait. >> I I need you to be honest with us. Okay. Cuz if you're not honest I'm going to pull all the footage and we're going to get detectives involved and it's going to You need to be honest. What were you doing in this picture? >> A video. >> The video. Why are you touching the screen? I was refunding gas and voting on cash app. >> I don't feel like you're being honest with me. >> I'm being honest. I refunded the gas. >> Okay. >> After I refunded the gas, I activated a number and I did load a cash app. >> You loaded a cash app? >> Yes. >> That's for you personally? >> No. >> Why'd you load the cash app? >> For the money. >> For you personally? Yes. >> For your Okay. >> Okay. How long has that been going on for? >> Just that time and then the last time, >> which was a month. >> Okay, I need you to be honest. >> Okay, >> how long has this been going on for? >> In the end, Cassandra Revel was arrested and charged with felony grand theft. The key lesson here is that no matter how trusted someone seems, dishonesty will be uncovered, and trying to twist the truth under scrutiny only worsens the consequences. Next, this woman even acted in ways that only proved her termination had been justified. >> So, she has done this before. So, she's been suspended and let go and she's been fired. And um she's saying, >> "All right, listen. If you don't go, we'll just GO TO JAIL. >> WHAT the >> We're going to go to jail. We're going to jail." >> On March 14th, 2024, officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a disturbance, and the suspect was believed to be a former employee who had been fired from the location. For more details, listen to the statement from this manager. >> But where is this girl at now? >> Right here. >> No, the other girl, the girl girl that she's out here. >> Oh, she is. She's out back. >> Yeah, she's still here. >> Okay. >> Now, tell me what happened before I go deal with this. >> So, I came um I saw HR come down. She says, "Hey, can you come with me? I need you to come with me." So, we came out. We go up the stairwell and I just hear screaming. So, she has done this before. So, she's been suspended and let go and she's been fired. And um she's saying >> was she fired today? >> Yesterday. >> Then why is she back today? >> That's her point. She can't clock in. She's blocked on everything. So we don't even know how. But she was going up to work. And we're like, "No, you can't. You're fired." And then um from what I understood cuz I didn't hear at all. She's just started. She's very loud. One of those loud girls. So I She finally gets down half a flight. I'm like, "Come on, let's just go downstairs." She's videoing the whole thing. She's like, "He put his hands on me." And then she got in his face. The other nurse just put her hand in between him and says, "Don't do that." You know, and then she screamed all the way down, made a big old scene, you have residency. >> Yeah, she's out back here. >> Yeah, I was She's this way. Sorry. I was just trying to get a little brief. I missed most of it, but I didn't. >> Shortly after, the HR manager arrived and provided a more detailed account of the suspect's erratic and chaotic behavior. >> The regional vice president's on his way to speak to you guys. I just let you know. Um, I happened to walk in at the end of it. She was terminated yesterday. Also left her a message letting her know that she wasn't allowed to enter the building until she spoke with me first >> and that didn't happen. I caught it again. I was downstairs. She went to the sixth floor, I guess. So, I caught it in the stairwell and she was she's got it all on video so you can see it for yourself. >> Okay. Good. >> Yeah. You can cut through right here. She's walk. >> Who's the director? >> Um, she's I'm the HR director. >> Okay. Yeah. >> So, you're the one she's saying pushed her. >> No, no, no. She's saying Steve the plan ops director. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> But she's not supposed to be here. So I mean correct >> if he's asking her to leave and she's not leaving. >> He's she's you'll see the video. She's we didn't do that. Just was like this, you know, to her kindly trying to >> Okay. >> No. >> What's her name? Do you have her information? >> Uh I do. Her name's And that's all I got is unless my computer. And what's your date of birth? >> I don't know. I can give you all that when I go upstairs. >> Yeah. Go get it for me. Give me your address and everything. >> Everything. And then I'm going to Who who dealt with her the most? >> Um Steve. >> Okay. Yeah. I want to talk to him too. >> Nearby stood the very suspect being referred to. Watching everything unfold. And she seemed convinced that she had done nothing wrong. >> Let me ask you this though. Why are you here today? You've been fired. >> Nobody told me. >> They said they called you and you were told. >> Nobody told me I was fired. >> You got the message? >> No, I didn't get nothing. Um, I came in.

I've had I had >> on video right now. The woman herself refused to listen to any explanation. And she even grew more arrogant, beginning to act in ways that made things difficult for the officers. >> I need your name, please, and badge number. >> Okay. My name is Officer Cook. 100021. >> Name badge number, please. >> All right. Officer 33. >> Okay. So, so you're not letting me explain. I want to press charges. >> Okay.

All right. >> She called 911 to file a complaint against the officers. But she seemed unaware that this very action had added to her charges. And the officers immediately had enough grounds to place her under arrest. >> What the? >> We're going to go to jail. We're going to detail what WE'RE GOING TO DO. >> I TOLD YOU WE need to leave. >> STOP. >> You're not going to win this. >> I told you you need to leave.

It was revealed that the amount was not significant, but authorities still proceeded with the investigation due to the offense. For more details, let the store manager explain it further. What's >> going on, man? There's someone who works here and associate real for a minute and they're in the office now. We got video evidence. >> Okay. >> It's only $25, but we're still going to prose. >> Okay. >> Said only $25. >> Yeah. >> All right. Give me a few minutes. I'm going to come right in right quick. >> What was What was it that he took? >> Oh, yeah. >> Wow. They told me to stand by. They didn't let me go in yet. Um, but it was an employee employee got sex watching for a while. >> Oh, you can check to see what they doing. They told me to stand by. >> Yeah. No, I probably need to call that person. It was just little things here and there. So, we could have $2. Yeah. Yeah. But but it's still around though. So you could had a report done. So you So you create a paper trail. >> Oh, we have a paper. We have with us. >> Oh, yeah. How much did it add up to what he took? So we got on camera for sure. But we also So as of now, what you guys have on camera is $27. I don't >> and just to be clear, he was on duty. >> Yes. >> Yeah. On so he >> So the initial confirmed total came out to around $27 and perhaps because the value was so small when approached. The man showed no sense of guilt at all, even appearing shocked by what he was about to face. You >> know, at this moment, you're going to be terminated from Walmart. Okay. >> Right there. There you go. >> That's crazy. I've been working here for a year. >> What's the um everything? >> You have the address here? >> Uh not anymore. >> Not anymore. >> Not anymore. >> So, at this point in time, you don't >> I'm homeless right now. >> You're homeless right now?

I tried to file a lawsuit and everything. >> They stole two and a half. That's why I'm evicted. That's why I'm homeless in the first place because they stole money from me.

But the minute I said I want I told I need to transfer because I'm homeless down here.

So, so if you're trying to get your money back from them, you got to take it up in court. All right. >> Okay. I'm going to never stay that much amount of uh >> So, he chose to steal as a way to get back at the store instead of turning to the police to resolve the issue.

You are under arrest right now. >> Can I get my things out the back?

It's not stolen though. >> So how was it not stolen if it come back stolen with us? >> It came back stolen? >> Yeah. That's really reason why I'm asking stolen. I got I had for like seven years. >> So the friend gave it to you? >> Uh yes. I can't identify who that was. But yes. >> Why you can't identify who that is? >> Because obviously he stole it. He told me he didn't steal it. So >> Okay. the friend live out here. >> I don't want to. >> It's either yes or no cuz >> uh No, you don't live out here. >> All right. So, you are you are going to be charged with that stolen gun. If you can prove that that that that um that you got it from a friend and then tell me what friend it was uh that that that supposedly stole it, then we could have another conversation. But now, at this point in time, you're going to be charged with that stolen gun. All right. I I'm just got I just got to be upfront with you. >> The man was charged with theft by taking and theft by receiving stolen property related to the firearm. Trying to justify wrongdoing with excuses only deepened the consequences as avoiding responsibility and taking matters into one's own hands ultimately led to far more serious charges. >> Oh, I'M ABOUT TO SP ABOUT TO BEAT THE out her mom. >> No, no. >> Get the off me. GET THE OFF. >> On the 28th of February 2026, police received a report from Walmart about two women suspected of shoplifting inside the store. Even worse, they had brought along some very special companions with them. This was what unfolded when officers arrived at the scene. >> We are in the middle of getting a training receipt right now. All right. >> So, she was with another party. That party had purchased her items at a man checkout and walked out. Okay, come back. >> She um >> attempt now. Are you calling for someone to pick up your order? >> No, I'm calling because of the person I was with. >> We saw her attempt to push out the grocery side twice and was stopped both time by the doorman. She came to this side, jumped up, took over to customer service to pull for a party. They never came. She walked back into the store. >> They paid for everything. >> Okay. Well, I'll I'll talk to you after. >> She Where is her mom at? >> No idea. I was here. I called I actually came to register. >> Call her mom. I'm sorry if you got I'll call you back. She's not answering. I'm going straight to voice. I was My thing was we were going shopping. >> If you could potentially get arrested, you want this little girl to go with diapers right now. >> Find her mom. Bring that. Figure it out. Where is her mom at? >> My love. I don't know. I was here. She was supposed to pay. >> What kind of car? >> No car. >> Yo, walk here. Taxes. >> From where? From where? Where? >> What is your mom? >> Um her shelter. This is crazy. >> What does her mom think? >> Randy Sista, I've been over overcome. >> Although loss prevention staff clearly accused her of trying to push the card out twice, she insisted on a different story, shifting the blame onto the other woman who had already vanished. >> All right, Sadie's in front of me. I don't want to have this conversation. It's It really doesn't have anything to do with this. I'm calling Dus. I don't care what they have to do. I'm calling Dus. >> I don't care about me. I care about the kids and what she just put her kid through being with me. >> What are you doing? What is going to you? >> I don't know. It doesn't really matter. I told them I'll pay for what I got to pay for. But half the is Randy. So she's going to have to take accountability for what she was supposed to pay for. >> No, you do. Cuz you have the card. You're responsible. >> So I'm responsible cuz I have a card for somebody who was putting in my cart. >> Yes, >> bro. Because Randy don't put me in a ass position and I'm probably going to get locked up because she's a lying ass. >> I'm at Walmart. I have my food stamp card. It's in her wallet. >> That's customer service. >> I was supposed to pay half of food and then she was supposed to pay half of the clothes for her and Satie and Jason and Liam. >> I don't went to the customer service like two or three times on top of checkout line asking for her name. She didn't show. So, I figured, okay, she's paying. I called her. She didn't answer. So, I figured she was outside. So, I'm I didn't even go outside yet. I'm like halfway out the store. And then they checked me. I'm calling her. She's not answering me. No, nothing. I have Satie with me. Like, for all this, I would have never came here with her. She apparently she'sing. >> Okay. Can we just reload it? And um reload thinking that I'm paying for half of it. And she has my card. I don't know. Well, nobody can find her. I'm in the office at Walmart. >> The woman completely portrayed herself as a victim of the child's mother, but it all appeared to be an act as store staff and police had a very different and far more certain view of what really happened. >> She was what? >> She was she was stuck in the car, right? The other kid. >> Well, I don't know if we'll have footage of that or not. This lady here tried to go out the other door first, then she then she tried to go out that garden door. So, she knew what she was doing. >> But we don't know if we have the other girl on camera doing stuff. >> I'm sure. Um, man, I can't I No, because she paid. So, we I think she left the clothes. Dakota can tell you better. But did she conceal it at all? >> No. No. She had a big pile of stuff. >> She paid for some stuff and left the clothes. That's what I was told. I was following this girl, but we never had her the other girl stealing trying to take anything out the store. >> No. No. No. Not to not for be. At this point, a guardian arrived to ensure the safety of the child beside her. But her attitude only made the situation grow even more tense. >> Uncle Satan's right here. I want to make sure this is >> Can I see? Come up here. Stay right there. >> Right there. Stay right there. Get back there. >> Why are you touching? >> Get back there. >> This is Orion, right? >> Yeah. He's stay calm. Relax. >> Yo, I'm about TO SPAZZ BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO BEAT THE out her mom. >> No. Look. >> So, yeah. Close the door, please. >> For a second. Relax. Do what they tell you, >> bro. This is ridiculous. >> I don't do this. Calm down. >> I don't do any of this. >> She's supposed to be here. >> What color does she have on? >> I don't know. She had a burgundy and black one on >> and then a green one. ridiculous. >> Can I press charges? Like I would like to press charges. >> Can you calm down? >> No, because I was not aware of this. Y'all seen that I have called her multiple times. I don't get in trouble. Like I would like to press charges at this point. I would really like to press charges. >> I don't ever get in trouble. Like I would really like to press charges because I really thought like I called her name multiple times and I made sure of it. Her denial did nothing to change what police had already confirmed with the store and officers quickly made their decision. >> Do that. >> Can you stand up for me, please? >> Of course. Why are you guys grabbing me? >> You're being told and you're not listening. >> So, I'm guessing she's not getting locked up by just him. She didn't steal anything. Are you serious? >> I'm just going to search her real quick. >> Other pocket. Can you put that in my >> I'm going to search with my back hand. Your waistline. >> Do not touch my >> I have to. It's just going to be with the back of his hand. He's not going to back my hand. Just go ahead. Make sure there's no weapons in the area. Don't go like towards her crotch or her butt or something. >> You guys have watched them. You've seen me sit here and call out her name multiple times. >> What is that? >> I didn't even walk out the store and I'm getting charged for what the >> um I'll take care. >> You got smaller handcuffs cuz it clicked through. >> Very good. Do you like smaller handcuffs? You got mying hands tight as hell. >> I got a dumbass [ __ ] stealing from here. I'm telling you, I had the one to multiple people asking for her name and I don't want to get in charge. >> Like, this is ridiculous. >> Please stop touching me. Unless you're a female. I >> I suggest you don't put away stuff cuz that could be another charge. Listen to us. We're not doing >> I have nothing TO DO WITH THIS. I'M TELLING Y'ALL, I will pay for this. >> Her tension reached a breaking point and showed no sign of stopping as she became even more difficult when officers began searching her bag. >> I don't care who's in charge. You guys are printing [ __ ] in my person ain't mine. >> You act like it's illegal. IT'S STUFF THAT WE'RE >> I DON'T CARE. >> I DON'T CARE EITHER. >> Apparently not. >> You don't apparently. >> You get paid. >> And you're mad at us for doing our job. We're just taking this stuff out of you. >> No. No. No. I'm mad at you for not doing your job. How you got to sit here saying she's going to pay you for >> Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. You guys are hurting my >> You guys are hurting my >> Yo, get the off me. Yo, real unhook my two. >> Y'all about to [ __ ] y'all up. >> I'm about to y'all up. >> Yo, get the off. >> Get the OFF ME. GET THE OFF ME. >> Stay back. >> Yo, get off. That hurts. That [ __ ] hurts. Are you serious? 10. >> Are you serious? That [ __ ] hurts. I'm telling y'all to get off me for a reason. I have a patch on. Get off my wrist. Yo, y'all are hurting my wrist. >> In the end, she was retail theft, obstructing justice, and resisting arrest. Remember, blaming someone else would not save you. Because when the evidence was already clear, excuses only made the situation worse. Next, this woman showed no shame for her criminal behavior. You're detaining me because you're not detained. >> I'm sorry. Wait, hold on. You guys haven't even explained anything to me anything. >> Yeah, this time you're under arrest. >> For retail theft. >> Retail theft. >> Mhm. >> On the 6th of February 2026, police received a report from Target about a woman committing theft inside the store. And when they arrived at the scene, the woman showed no remorse and even called a family member to complain about the presence of the police. That's not right. Let me think, please. I'm I don't want to go back. What do you want me to do? So the first time she came to the register, >> hey Brandon, >> she rang up everything for the ticket switch price and then she got guest service by one of the team members there and he rung up everything regular price and then once she seen that she tried to pay for it but her car kept declining >> and um >> that's it is right here. Her car kept declining at this point because he rung everything up. M. >> So after that, once her card kept declining, she got on the phone. She like walked away for a little bit. She got on the phone, walked around, >> came back. Once she is back, she goes back to another register right here. She rings it up. She rung that up regular price. And then you can see she has this thing under that. It's like a little pet item. What is it? Flee and texa. That rung up $3.99. I think those are like4 or $50 a pop. And then these two are rung up. Obviously, we have the pictures here, so we know exactly what they are. They're $19.99 for this item and that item. And you can see the sticker on the merchandise and her like I guess she tried to like scratch off the other barcode. So, she tried again, declined. And then they tell her that she has to go to another register to use cash cuz she had cash in hand. >> So, what she does, waiting, waiting, waiting. >> Do you have her on camera swapping the >> Yeah. shopping the tag. >> Shopping this stuff. She's getting swapp swapping the um >> the barcodes. >> Oh, no, not yet. >> Based on the employees statement, it was clear that she had intentionally attempted to pay using her fraudulent scheme. And that same shamelessness persisted as she even ignored the presence of the police. >> That's not right. >> Hey, do me a favor. Hang up the phone real quick. >> Hey, can you can you come here, please? Yeah. >> What the >> Cuz I'm trying to pay. I'm supposed to pay for all of them. I'm expecting 450. All right. >> Okay. Hello. Hello. Please. Okay. Goodbye. Huh? Okay. All right. Okay. Just please. All right. All right. Stand up for him. >> Why? >> Stand up. Stand up and turn around. >> What am I doing? >> Turn around. Okay. Put your hands behind your back. >> For what? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Why? >> Because I'm detaining you right now. Put your hands behind your back. >> For what? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I don't. >> All right. Put your hands behind your back. >> You're detaining me because >> Put your phone down. >> Um, >> put your phone down. >> Hold on. Time for >> Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and turn it off then. Give me your phone right there. >> You're detaining me because >> detained. >> I'm sorry. Wait, hold on. You guys haven't even explained anything to me anything. >> Right there. >> You guys haven't even explained it. >> We'll explain to me. All right. When I ask you to do something, you do it. You understand? >> Understood. Okay. I'm going to try to give you guys a hard. >> It could be said that she remained completely calm amid everything unfolding. And even her apparent confusion may have been an act as records showed this was not her first time. Do you have and and you have you have a prior case as well? >> Yes. >> Yeah. This will be the third. She was in here eight days ago. >> Yeah. >> Okay. We'll figure out what's going on. >> Do you have any weapons on? >> No. >> This is your receipt? >> Yeah. Do >> you want to uh take a look at what I just looked at? And then >> is she known to y'all? >> Yes. >> You've charged before or just have the record? >> We just had the Yeah, we just had the record of her like actually doing it. So the first time we actually called them, a team member called them out because it was her and her husband trying to take us for some high price merchandise and they ended up paying for it at guest service and then the next time she came in she like in packaged like a almost $200 toothbrush. >> $100 toothbrush. >> 219. What does the toothbrush do? >> And her first one, we got it. We ended up getting the merchandise back at 255 the first one. >> How did you get it back? >> So, the selfch checkout um attendant noticed like these are high dollar items ringing up like super cheap. >> Um and just >> he questioned it, sent him the guest service where we they got the right price and they >> they paid for it. >> Mhm. >> But the other stuff she did take the the first one >> the other day. Yes. >> Yeah. the 30th. >> Did the self the selfch checkout attendant touch anything or >> Returning to the suspect, she clearly knew what was happening to her and at that moment she began spinning stories to justify her actions. >> Did she tell she shown it to you? Yes. >> Uh I saw some footage. Yeah. So basically what we have right now is we have you scanning some items that are coming back as different items and then I guess you've had three other instances where they've had you taking things from the store previously as well. >> So you know what I actually want to I'm not going to not sue but I actually want to say something about that. >> We was me and my husband we were just actually shopping we were preparing our mother-in-law for a trip. It was last year. >> Okay. We were preparing our trip. um she was from the Philippines. She needed a memory card and a dual screen, you know, long flight. >> We were already ready prepared to pay whatever cuz we knew we of course it's online. We research it, right? >> Right. >> Okay. So, when we of course me and my husband, we don't really we we just pay, right? We don't when we scan it, pay, but then at the same time, we also have the other person like, "Hey, double check everything, decline this, decline whatever protection." Anyway, >> long story short, we paid and um you know, there was that one uh or two item that scanned wrong. >> Mhm. >> Right. And of course, we were like, "Okay, wait." And I told this guy, I was like, "Hey, isn't it we before I gave him, isn't it supposed to be much more than this?" >> Okay. He's like, "Yeah." Okay. Then he got us to over here. He got us over here. They did the process. At first, they thought we were trying to get the item for uh for like what it was like $14.99. >> During the questioning, the woman also admitted that she was aware of her past cases. But that did not mean she admitted guilt. Just listen to what she had to say next. >> When I was trying to question her, they were accusing that we did it that day, the previous one. >> Okay. >> Seriously. >> So So you have the same scenario again today? Well, I have things I haven't come back. I haven't shopped in a while or um if anything. >> And you see how that could be a little suspicious that you have one incident where you rang something up at a lower price. I granted you said you tried to fix it. >> Mhm. >> And then again, today you've rung up several items that are at lower prices >> and actually I was also >> Do do you see how that could be suspicious? I get that. But that's why before >> that's why you're in handcuffs right now. >> But also that's also why before um the first time when I first rang it up. >> Mhm. >> I didn't just pay that. I could have >> Mhm. >> but I didn't I actually called the guy the his name was I guess Kyle. I actually called the guy. >> Mhm. >> Like I don't think this is scanning right. It's 51. >> Right. >> And then he actually looked it over. He went into the bag with me and he scanned it. We scanned it for me. I'm like, "Okay, no, that looks right." 406. Cuz we were wondering why I was at 51. >> Okay. >> Well, I mean, we're going to You're not under arrest at this moment. You just attended. Okay. >> Immediately after, the police bluntly laid out her wrongdoing. Yet, the woman still acted surprised by it. But even more surprising was what she admitted next. So, pay close attention. >> So, I'm under arrest. >> Yeah, this time you're under arrest. for retail theft. >> Retail theft. >> You know what? I actually got I just came from jail >> for what? >> Well, someone um what happened was um uh there was a warrant for me, but the thing is I have no notice. Long story short, I'm still trying to deal with that one. And I'm actually going after um >> So, you you've been to the Fly County Jail before? >> Yes. recently because I'm trying to actually find out what I don't even have a case number. I I don't even know what was going on. >> Make sure you have a a copy of that case number today. >> Yeah. >> So you can get all this sorted out later. >> This is embarrassing. >> I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated. I can't believe I'm doing this again. >> Hold on. Let me have a seat. >> Watch your head. The woman was charged with retail theft. Her repeated attempts to manipulate prices showed that dishonesty, even when given chances to correct it, will only lead to more serious consequences.
