I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail. >> He's like, "Oh, grandma all the way at home. Oh, no. What am I going to [music] do?" >> You want to watch him? >> He's right here. >> You got to figure a way to get around it, though. You can't come in here and steal him. >> I'm not trying to go. I really was. I was coming to get the food, man. >> Okay. Okay, I'm ready. >> What? >> Are you going to leave the >> Oh, no. Hard times create many ways to get by, but some thieves refused to make the effort and instead chose wrongdoing to fight against life. That choice proved wrong as the police made them face a valuable lesson. These are the moments from cops surprise woman after shoplifting inside Walmart. [music] We are This is Law. Don't forget to like and subscribe. First, let's start with this chaos. [laughter] [screaming] Stay your [ __ ] ass down. >> Give me the cups. >> They're over there. >> On the 16th of March 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart after staff reported that loss prevention had caught a woman trying to steal an entire cart of unpaid items. This is what happened when they arrived on scene. >> So, that one lady has not scanned one thing, has put a bunch in her bag. The one in the red right there. >> Oh, yeah. She's um she's doing smart. Oh, >> okay. Okay. I wouldn't be able to tell between >> that cuz like in reality they could just grab whatever they want and load up. >> Does he know if it's over 750? >> Is it over 750? >> Okay. Go ahead and stand up. You're going with me. I want charges pressed and it's over 750 which makes it a felony. >> Yeah. and stand up. Come on. I'm sorry. >> Well, you're going to have to. >> The woman reportedly [music] admitted to her crime. Although she appeared remorseful, she seemed unwilling to accept the consequences, [music] and a tense struggle quickly ensued. I can't I can't I can't I can't >> I will tase you if you do not stop. >> Turn around. >> Please, >> woman. >> I'm sorry. I can't I can't [laughter and crying] I can't I'm sorry I can't. >> Would you like me? Get up and turn around. >> I can't. >> Ben, turn around. >> I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't >> turn around. >> I can't. I can't. I can't. >> Stop. Please stop. [screaming] I have seizures. I can't stop. I can't. It's like you're doing this. I can't I I [laughter] [screaming] >> Why are you crying? >> Because you don't know what I'm doing. I can't do it. The police had to intervene because she acted on her own, attempting to stand and move freely. Even after forcing her back into a seated position, they carefully tried to calm her, but it seemed to have no effect. >> Would you like to talk to me? Settle down. [laughter] >> You can't settle down. >> I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail. I [laughter] can't. Calm down. I can't go to jail. [laughter] I can't I realize this is not beyond this is beyond me. Now I can't 53.97. 5397. >> I need another unit. 77 fighting. >> 548. >> You're not moving. >> You want me to? >> No, I want you to sit down. >> 5448. You show me 1097. I will take you. Sit down. >> 397. Where you at? >> Stop. Stop. >> I'm in Walmart. It seemed that despite her claims of having seizures, she was [music] not experiencing any and her resistance was clearly coming to an end as backup officers arrived on the scene. >> They were in the [snorts] [laughter] I've tased her twice. >> I can't help. I can't help. I can't help. >> Stay your [ __ ] ass down. >> Help me. >> Give me the cups. >> They're over there. >> I don't want to hear the story. [screaming] >> Stop. >> Settle down. >> Stop. No, no, you're not. No. >> Come on. [screaming] [screaming] [groaning] No, no, no. >> It was her own resistance that led her into this situation. Even after being handcuffed, she still received warnings to ensure that no further attempts to resist would occur. She acts like she has seizures. She hasn't once had a seizure this whole time. I don't know what's in her purse. >> 1071 reference whiskey fox drive >> taser three drives thunder three times >> drives stone three times. Do y'all want me to burn that video for you? >> 39. She's fine. She's breathing. >> Wiry little thing. >> I was fighting her a good bit before you came in. Can I get my radio to go out? >> And because of the chaos she caused, the woman ended up injuring herself, prompting the police to call for EMS immediately. She says she has had a seizure, >> but the whole time we were fighting, she had a seizure. >> Oh, I was with her at the hospital. >> She already told her the wall upwards. She was she climbed up the wall. >> She was drive stun, not tased cuz obviously was what, three times? >> Yes. >> Three times before twice before my lost. >> Two, it was two connections. The third time once the middle time it was doing weird. >> Paramedics. We're going to put a little thing on your finger. I know you're in kind of an uncomfortable position. >> Yep. All good. >> Okay. >> Um, see the side of the fight. >> Oh, just want to make sure. >> I was fighting for a good minute before my other person came in, but nothing's damaged. >> Well, we're pressing charges now, so we normally don't have problems here. Now, if it was under under 750, I would have said I was just gonna send charges up and she'd be out. But with it being over, >> in the end, the 33-year-old woman was charged with resisting arrest and felony shoplifting. Even apparent remorse cannot undo the reality that illegal actions, especially repeated ones, carry real risks and may lead to felony charges and jail time. Even more astonishingly, the woman was kind enough to steal on behalf of someone else. today, ma'am. >> Doing it for my friend. >> What is it? >> I was doing it for my friend. >> On the 8th of March 2026, the police received a call from Target reporting a theft that had just occurred and the suspect was identified as a woman who was taken into the loss prevention office shortly after. Upon contact, she immediately had a story for her actions. >> What happened today, ma'am? doing for my friend. >> What is it? >> I was doing it for my friend. I was here. >> Huh? >> Are they here? >> No, she left. She left me and I was talking to her like we walked in the store in the same time. Like she walked right behind me. >> Okay. >> I was turned around, she was gone. >> Okay. Did she have anything with her? >> I don't I don't know if she got >> Okay. So, what happened? You try to walk out with this stuff >> for her? >> For her? >> Yes. >> Did you owe her money or something? >> Who? >> You? >> No. >> Why' you try to walk out? Why did you try to take >> No, she owes me money. >> All right. [cough] [laughter] >> So, what? She was She just told you to steal steal. >> Like, she told me that this how it went. Okay. So before we got here, she said, "Okay, I want to go to Target." Okay, did Okay, boom. Drive to Target. >> But we come in here, she tell me everything she need. So I'm like, "Okay, >> all right." So she has your car, >> huh? >> She has the car. Your car is in the lot. >> My car in the lot. >> Where's it at? She claimed that she had done it for her friend, but the story gradually became suspicious in its credibility as even her answers about the car she and her friend were using were inconsistent and uncertain. >> So that's the east side, that's the west side >> in the parking lot. >> Like in the garage or >> in the garage? What kind of car is it? >> It's a It's a Chevy. >> Chevy. >> Gray. >> Gray. Chevy. What? >> I think it's Sonic. >> Sonic. >> Yeah. >> All right. Is the key fob in your your bag right there? >> No. >> Where's it at? >> No. >> Can you run or do CQ? So, how did your friend get here that you keep saying? >> I'm sorry. >> How did your friend get here? >> We died here together. >> Okay. So, but she is she is she possibly in the car? >> I was I don't know. Is she in the car? I I'm not sure where she went. >> And things became even stranger when officers found a car key during a search on her. And what followed was her response when questioned about it. >> Yeah. I'm going use the back of my hand. I was going by the camera. >> You just your keys here. >> My house keys. That's all I want. >> Okay. Nothing. >> No. No. >> This isn't a car key. >> No, that's a car key. But that's not >> the car. >> All right. You can have a seat. So, we're running your history right now. So, just be honest with me. Do you have any history with shoplifting? >> No. You never no history at all? >> No. >> Have you been arrested before? >> No. >> So, she may have your key fob. >> You must do cuz I don't have it. That's not that. >> And you said the car is like a gray Sonic. So, like a sedan. >> What's the sedan? >> Sedan. Small small medium. >> Small medium. The woman insisted that the keys the police found were not for her car, claiming her friend must have them. But just moments later, her answer changed. >> So, does this key work? >> No. >> On your car? >> On my car that I'm driving now? >> Correct. >> It's a Chevy. So, I don't >> Does this key work on the car driving outside? >> It works. It's a car key. Yeah, >> I know. I'm asking you. I asked you if this was the car key. Oh, >> that you use >> to the car outside right now. Does this car key work? >> It's a car. Yes, it's an iPad. >> It's a car key or is it the car key that you used outside? >> No. >> So, this car This car key does not work for the car outside. >> Okay. So, where's the car key at? >> You can try it. It's cuz my car I have a 2015 Chevy Malibu. >> Oh, yeah. And the car that me and my mom have the same key. So I use the same. >> All right. >> We like literally use the same key. >> So it might work. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It might work. >> These your house keys I put in there. >> Okay. >> At that point, the officers decided to detain the woman to ensure she could not flee while the next procedures were carried out. >> Right back. Look, you all right? >> All right. They won't get any tire on you. This officer is going to take you downstairs. There'll be a female officer to take it up. Okay. >> Okay. >> Here's your property. I got everything. >> Oh, my >> Yeah, I'll give your ID, too. >> Yeah. All right. In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting. Helping someone commit a crime does not make you loyal. It only puts you in the same position to face the consequences even when they are nowhere to be found. Next, the woman claimed that stealing out of hardship was nothing wrong. >> I'm coming. >> I'm coming. Just make sure that you can go through a lot. You can't be stealing stuff, you know. On the 8th of May 2025, police intercepted a woman attempting to flee after trying to conceal merchandise. When approached, she panicked completely, yet seemed to sense exactly what was about to unfold. >> I'm coming. >> I'm coming. Just make sure. I'm sorry. other hand. >> You came in here with a different shirt on, right? >> Because I have no clothes. I'm homeless. I have no clothes. >> Were you in my store earlier today? >> Probably. You know if you were or not. You think you did the same thing, right? >> Okay. So, you just been in my store in and out all day stuff >> earlier today and now. So, are those the shorts you took too I checked off? I just put it on with your clothes cuz I'm so wet. So, you put the tank top on and the short >> fox >> and whatever's in your bag plus this. >> Okay. So, >> you show me on a shoplift during custody on 10:15. >> Oh, please. >> Oh, no. That's how this works. >> She then admitted to her actions and the evidence became increasingly clear as police opened the backpack she had been carrying. >> Bougie. Baby, baby. >> What? >> No. >> No. You cannot use the restroom. >> Don't pee on my bench. >> I won't. >> Where you want to put all this stuff? >> In the back. Take the bag away. Just take the stuff out of it. >> Do you want to go grab a blue basket? >> Yeah. I'm going to find stuff y'all saw earlier anyway. You just got one pair of shorts on or tail? >> Why are your pants wet? >> Cuz I just cleaned up in the hose. >> You what? >> I just cleaned up in the hose. >> Okay. >> My friend's house. >> Well, if you set out in the sun, it would have dried. >> I know, but I do one thing I have to wear. >> What about the shirt you pan into earlier? What is this shirt? >> It's wet. >> Oh, >> it's on wet. That It's the pink one. >> Yeah, it's wet. So, you hear that right? The ignition of guilt for the pink one that she came in and saw earlier. >> It was clear that the woman's mental state was highly unstable. She even sprawled across the bench, prompting police to question whether she had been using stimulants. >> Let me tell you how this is going to work. Okay. Officer Carmela's going to search you. She finds crack pipes all the damn time. Do you have anything illegal on you? >> Well, she's going to find it if you do. >> I said I don't know where it is. >> Okay. Where is it? >> I don't know. Look, >> there's one on you. >> I don't know. >> You don't know if there's >> last January, I went to contra had a crack underneath my titty and I didn't know it was there cuz my tits were big. No, I don't know. Is that a good enough answer? >> No. Well, too bad. >> I don't know why you're getting mean. I'm >> these people. >> Because I'm a I do my job and I stop and she's mad >> because she doesn't know what people are going through their personal lives. >> Well, you people can go through a lot, but you can't be stealing stuff, you know. Oh, well keep happening. >> You see why I got stuck in there? >> Oh, this what's going to keep happening. >> Now you see why you got stuck in there. >> You got a bunch of shirts on. >> She showed no shame as she spoke about her hardships in an attempt to lessen her own responsibility. And shortly after the police proceeded with the next steps of the process. [snorts] She's got two sets of shorts. Why don't we take off one of the shorts? Well, >> I'm not taking off her clothes. I'm just going to search the pockets in. >> I don't think they're actually not even in the sky. The black shorts still have the tag on. >> Put those in the doors. I think this one's sweating. Going where? >> What's that? >> Oh, okay. Is that infilt? >> After everything was completed, the police decided to take the woman into custody. >> Wait, my clothes. >> I'm going to go throw this pipe in a bag real quick. I'll be right back. She was ultimately charged with theft. Crime doesn't become justified just because life is hard. Using hardship as an excuse only deepens the consequences and closes the door to real help. Next, the man still had a bunch of tricks to try to get out of trouble. >> He's like, "Oh, grand all the way home. Oh, no. What am I going to do?" >> I'm sorry, bro. I wasn't trying to sit here and do that today, dude. Oh my god. The finger was under their roof. >> On January 9th, 2025, officers responded to a report from a Walmart about a theft in progress. The suspect was a man who was skipping, scanning several items. But what he didn't know was that officers were watching him from behind through surveillance cameras. >> He's pretty much got all ramen noodle packets essentially. >> Did he even scan that? >> No, he didn't scan that. He's just scanning the cheap food. And so he's done like a shirt and some other [ __ ] >> So he's just scanning this cheap ass food right there. >> Yeah. So like that shampoo and [ __ ] that's not on here. All he has is oatmeal and the ramen noodles and like this car stereo thing he didn't get. Obviously I'm sure he's going to put that [ __ ] on it. >> Is he right here or this one? >> No, he's on the other side. >> He's on the other side. >> Yeah. And like that tide he didn't get. See what he does here. Oh, he's done. Take that back. Yeah, he had like a $200 Google thing in his cart, but I don't know where he ditched that at. All these clothes. >> Not scanned. >> No. >> And he's got that big thing on the bottom, too. Some type of >> Of course, he's done scan and stuff, though. >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> He's like, "Oh, grab him all the way home. Oh no. What am I going to do?" >> You want to watch him? He's right here. We're going to go the other doors. Just call him out if he's coming. >> It was clear that the man was quite experienced in his actions. And at that moment, he still tried to push the card out of the store. The officers then gave him an unexpected surprise. >> How's it going, man? >> We're go to the office. Okay. We're going to figure out what's going on with the stuff in the car. All right. You can hold the receipt saying she'll go through everything. Okay. >> Service though, dude. >> Well, >> I'm not going to get focused on you, bro. I'm not doing that. >> I know you won't cuz there's two of us. >> I'm not going to do that anyways. I'm just asking. Did some of this scam? Cuz I don't need no trouble, dude. >> Okay. >> Oh, no. You mean no trouble. I'll take my [ __ ] >> Why don't you go ahead and put your hands on your back? Okay. >> I'm going to put you in handcuffs for now, bro. >> We're just going to detain you. Okay. You're not free to leave or go anywhere. All right. >> I know. Well, you don't have to be like that. I was just saying, bro. >> Well, we'll get to that point if that's the case. >> All right. Come on. >> All right, guys. Dude, all those right here like this. Why, buddy? Why? I have a job to do. Why are you going to do this like this? This is embarrassing. >> Well, I'm sorry, but I'm doing my job. You don't like it. That's not my problem. >> Well, I watched you not scan a few things in your cart that look expensive. So, that's why we're here. The stereo that's on the bottom and the radio that's sitting in the cart underneath all the sacks on top of it. >> So, that's why I'm here. Well, well, we're going to go in the office and we'll get to the bottom of it. All right. There's a lot of stuff in that cart. >> He continuously begged while being escorted, claiming it was just a mistake. And even after arriving at the loss prevention office, his pleas stopped, accompanied by many excuses behind it. >> I I don't need any more trouble, dude. I've got a couple I'm in a little bit of trouble. I go to tomorrow, dude. Like, I swear to God, I do, man. >> Okay, listen. You're getting ahead of yourself. Just calm down, dude. Because I didn't mean this. I >> Just calm down. We're gonna go through all the stuff in the cart and we're gonna figure out what's going on. Okay. I didn't mean to. >> So, at this point, you're not free to leave. You understand? I >> didn't mean this. I'm under arrest, >> Josh. Well, let's figure it out. >> No, I >> You're detained. Okay. >> I'm under >> I haven't said you're under arrest yet. But before we ask any questions, my duty vise rights. You have the right to remain silent. >> Listen, listen. Speak first, please. >> Okay. >> That lady, >> you control this. I'll I'll >> No, I'm not being a dick, dude. I'm just trying to explain myself to you, dude. Cuz I'm not trying to do this [ __ ] no more, dude. I'm not here for that today, dude. I honestly forgot about the speaker. I wasn't even going to grab the speaker, bro. I wasn't going to grab that speaker. I was going to put it back. That's why I put the radar detector back. That's why I gave her another item back. I I was not trying to take the speaker, dude. And And the radio, dude. The lady that was sitting up there watching, dude, she was making me nervous. I just was literally getting ahead of myself. I swear my kids, I'm not lying to you, dude. That's a 25 or $34 radio, dude. I don't need to take a $34 radio, dude. I'm just I don't need no trouble like this, dude. Like, I I go to rehab tomorrow morning, dude, at 9:00 a.m., dude. Like I'm just trying to do whatever I can to get myself together. Dude, I swear my kids on my line. I got a baby on the way. Like literally could be today, could be long, could be the next day. >> It was clear from his rushed statements that he was fully anxious about what was coming for him, but that only raised more suspicion as he clearly knew he hadn't paid for the items. Shortly after, the officers directly stated their stance. >> Okay, so the camera's going to show differently. >> Yes. >> So, how much of that stuff have you not paid for in that car other than the radio? How about the bag of clothes that you have? >> I told you that the only thing I didn't think was I didn't know if scanning. I told you that. >> Well, you were there items and didn't went off. Sometimes it goes off and it says invalid item. What? Whatever. I'm not lying to you, dude. I didn't mean to, dude. >> So, so all this stuff isn't paid for. You understand that? >> What is it? >> All this stuff that she's stacking up that Do you see the cameras? >> The cameras are going to You make the decision whether you go to jail today or not. Do you understand that? You have a history of this. >> You have a criminal history. So, you know how this works. >> So, so if you want to be honest, cool. But if you don't want to be, then you can just I can listen to you jabber the whole way down the jail. It's not a big deal to me. Do you get that? >> I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. Did you come here today, Josh, intent to steal this stuff? >> No. >> During your shopping tire, did you think I'm going to steal some stuff? Did you come here with enough money to purchase all this? >> Yes, >> you did. Then why did we not purchase the items that she's stacking up over here? Why did you bypass scanning these items in your shopping cart? >> Under every point raised by the officers, he seemed unable to argue anything back. Yet in reality, he showed no remorse, continuing to offer statements to reduce responsibility for himself. >> There there's the question, right? >> That wasn't the intent to do it. I didn't have the >> Your intent today was to come and get something, right? But >> your intent was to get when I was here. I was really just coming to get some food from while I was in Washington from my LAU. My friend group was at the hotel that we're staying at. I hear you. She wanted grapes. She wanted some Kool-Aid. She wanted uh whatever else I got. Dude, I got ramen noodles in there. I got mac and cheese. I got the shredded chicken in there to make chickens tonight, dude. Okay. >> I'm not lying to you, bro. I didn't get none of that. >> Did I say you're lying? No. Not once. If I said you're lying. >> As I was passing the clothes, I realized that I was going to reh tomorrow. And what I'm wearing is I've been wearing for 4 days now. Dude, I needed clothes. So, I grabbed a few clothes. I was going to pay for the clothes, man. >> I would have paid for the clothes. >> So, at what point did you realize you can't afford this stuff and then you were going to see? >> It's not that I couldn't afford this stuff, dude. It's just so >> cuz you put some things back. I watched you. You took them. But why didn't we put this stuff back? >> That's what I'm trying. I didn't I forgot the speaker went down there, dude. I really honestly [ __ ] speak down there, dude. >> Forget the speaker, >> right? >> Well, look at the other stuff. Look at the other stuff. >> The flowers I got from my girlfriend, dude, because >> I was here 2 minutes watching scan ramen and stuff and then you sacked all the clothes without even paying for it. >> I didn't mean to. >> How do you How can you explain that one? Times are tough. You got to figure a way to get around it, though. You can't be coming here and stealing it. >> I'm not trying to, bro. I really was. I was coming to get the food, man. And then I just seen it, dude. I was like, I'm just sorry, bro. I wasn't trying to sit here and do that [ __ ] today, dude. >> The speaker was under there, bro. >> His remorse came far too late. Yet, he was also using it to make himself appear pitiful in an attempt to gain sympathy. >> Like, I do have like my girlfriend is literally laying in bed like moaning and groaning like she can't even hardly move, you dude. I'm going to go to OSF, dude. I'm not lying to you, dude. Like I'm I'm over this [ __ ] man. [ __ ] is over to me, dude. I don't ever want my [ __ ] like this. >> Well, that's where you need to take it into your own hands, man. That's where you need to just >> That's why I'm holding one, bro. >> All right. This isn't going to hold you up. >> I'm just >> As long as it's not over 300. >> I'm just sick, bro. >> I'm not going to take you to jail, man. Okay. >> I'm just sick, bro. >> Well, and you need to get the help. >> This [ __ ] dude. >> 27 sick. She just think, bro. >> Yeah. >> Over. >> I did not know it was going to be like that. >> You explain me to me, man. >> Which one? Me? I have to go out to the car and then I'll be back. >> If she wants to listen, I don't care. >> What's up? >> Just so you know, okay, Josh, you are under arrest for stealing, for retail theft. Okay. So, stand up. Do you have anything on your personal? Have you been to rehab before? >> Yeah. >> You have? >> One other time, man. I had a year and a half clean after that. >> How'd you get back into it? >> Idiot, man. [ __ ] with people, dude. That's a lesson. >> He was ultimately charged with retail theft along with an additional felony charge for possession of a controlled substance. Trying to play the victim won't erase the consequences. Taking responsibility early is always better than hiding behind excuses. Next, let's shift the focus to this quirky woman. >> Just kidding. >> Ma'am, >> why? >> Do you have any use of drugs? >> No. >> No. >> I wish I was done without me. >> On March 22nd, 2025, police approached a woman after receiving a report that she refused to leave a gas station. Upon contact, she displayed clear non-compliance and showed signs of mental instability. >> I'm doing pretty good. My name is Officer Ruiz. You're being audio and video recorded. Okay. >> Louise. >> Ruiz. >> Louise. >> Ruiz. >> Hey, ma'am. So, I believe that the love stop here had asked you if you could just move along and >> move along. >> We want to make sure that you're okay. Are you okay? >> Move along. Okay. >> Hey, ma'am. Can I get your ID? >> God damn it. >> Ma'am, >> can I get your identification? >> What's your first name? How are you doing today? >> I'm doing good. How about you? >> I'm not doing too bad myself. >> Okay. >> Have you been able to eat anything today? >> Did you get to eat today? >> Oh, no. >> No. >> No. Not me. >> Have you had any water? >> Not me. I'm >> No. You haven't had any water yet? >> Ma'am, >> I was just kidding. >> Ma'am, >> why >> do you have any use of drugs? >> No. No, >> I wish. [ __ ] I've been telling me. >> Do you take any medication? >> Cuz we drinking together. >> We're drinking together. Do you Do you take any medication at all? >> Her behavior was deemed confusing, and she avoided responding to most prompts. Yet, in reality, she remained aware of what was happening, answering whenever she chose to respond to the officer's questions. >> Can I get a first name for you? >> No, [ __ ] >> No. >> My name is Nia. >> Nikia. She didn't even say it like that. Why do you guys say like that? >> Hey, ma'am. Ma'am, you can focus on me right now. >> You want to walk with me over here to my car? >> Come on. You said your name was Nikia. >> Come on, Nikia. Let's walk over my car. That's not my name. >> That's not your name. What's your name? >> What? >> So, what's your name? >> You don't know. >> Oh [ __ ] >> Be careful, Nikia. Come here. Mia, can you walk over here to my car? >> You are awesome. >> You come walk over here to my car. >> Why? I'm already here. >> So we can talk to you. >> Mia, what's going on today? >> I'm going ask if they want trespass today. >> Oh wow. boss. Um, so did you guys want her trespass? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Trespass. >> Thus, the officers made a temporary decision based on the current situation and explained it to her, but it seemed difficult for her to fully process the information. >> Hey, focus on me right now. Okay. >> All right. So, love wants you to be formally trespassed. So, what that mean is I'm going to get you some paperwork that says that you are not allowed to come back here to the property and be on the property. Okay. >> My car is over here.

Oh [ __ ] >> That's a lighter. >> That's my ID. >> Give me your identification. >> Ruiz. Oh, it wasn't Oh, my bad. I ain't going to touch you. >> It's okay. It's Ruiz. Not Louise. But I need your ID. Is that put in this bucket? >> Got you or not? >> Ma'am, >> I can't call. >> I I need your ID. You're going to be formally trespasser on the property. Okay. >> Okay. >> That means that if you're still here, that's a crime. >> Okay. >> You understand me? >> Yeah. >> And a crime's arrestable. >> Guess what I'm going to do? Lock me up. >> Wakey >> or >> I don't do that. That's all >> ma'am. Or >> or you could just leave the property. >> Where to go? Wherever your heart desires, but you got to leave the property. >> I got an idea. >> What's your idea? >> Ma'am, what? >> Given her mental state, every word from the officers failed to register over the symphony she imagined in her mind, prompting the police to proceed with their actions. >> Okay. Okay, I'm ready. >> Wait, are you going to leave the >> Oh, no. I was just joking. I want to leave. I want to say you feel >> Oh god. Here they go. >> I want you know right now you're currently >> not free to go. She's under arrest. >> You're under arrest for trespass. >> For trespass. Gauging for fit. Gagaing for fit. >> Double locking. Double locking. All right, ma'am. Can you walk this way with me? Walk into the car. I got to walk. >> Step down. Okay. Be careful. Yes. What? >> She's going to put her down in the back seat. >> Back seat supposed to be in the back. >> All right, right now I'm going to I'm going to search you. Okay. >> Okay. >> Do you have anything sharp? >> Do you have anything sharp? Any drugs? Anything that might poke me? >> You going through, [ __ ] I got you. Just say no. >> Hey, good work. >> I need to get a I need to get a zip bag. >> You got one. You got one under arrest. >> I did. Okay. >> I said I got her. >> Got it. >> I need to search you. I like it. >> Who says [ __ ] like that? >> All right, Nico. >> Is that your name? >> No. >> Any sensitive area? I'm going to let you know. I will use the back of my hand. Okay. >> The search of the woman was carried out, but it appeared to proceed in an unusual and disorderly manner. >> Do you have anything? Do you have a shirt on or anything underneath? >> He doesn't have a shirt. Why wouldn't I have a shirt in my jacket? >> I just want to make sure. What kind of police are you? Matt. Oh, >> come on. >> All right, man. With the back of my hand. >> What? >> Let me let you know. >> That's my ass. I might do that. >> Thank you. Can you stand still, please? >> Thank you once again with the back of my hand. [ __ ] I just told you. >> She's got a good sense of humor about her at least. >> All right, Nick. Yeah, >> I think I know >> with my side hand out. >> Oh, touching my titty [ __ ] >> trying to with back my hand. >> Oh god. Again. >> Again. I don't think I like this. The woman was charged with trespass after warning. The woman knowingly refused to leave the property despite repeated warnings, showing clear awareness of her actions. Her behavior was defiant and uncooperative, leaving the officers no choice but to detain her. Next, here's a case of fraud committed by this healthcare worker. >> Nice some 9,000 something. It was >> That's a lot of money. >> Yes. >> What bills were you behind that you owed that much money? my um it was my rent and my um electricity. >> On July 25th, 2024, police approached a woman after receiving a report of a check fraud. The suspect, a healthcare worker, was accused of attempting to cash checks from an elderly woman she cared for. Here's what happened next. Like I said, we beat the right. You have two options. All right. Um the first option is obviously I tell you don't take off running cuz I will catch you. One of us will catch you. So I just tell you that just because. So, your first option is you come with us. I put you in handcuffs because it's per policy. I take you up to the to the station. Detective wants to talk to you about a case. I guess something to do with fraud. >> I don't know. >> I couldn't I couldn't tell you exactly. Um uh this is you, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. One second. Other uh it was like some check or something like that. >> Oh. Oh. Oh, I see. I see. >> I'm not sure. So, um, so this this first option is I take you in a police car. >> Okay, let me see how we do. >> Let me finish. I take you in a police car. You talk to the detective and you square it out with him. >> Okay, >> that's your first option. Second option is >> I'm going to be direct with you again. I put you in the police car and I just take you to jail and you fight the case in tomorrow or 30 days or whatever it is. >> Okay, I see. I see what it is. It was um you know when you're trying to do the um what's the name of it? The um the loan online. >> Yeah. >> Um it was my guy had g me that number to call. >> Yeah. So before so listen before you tell me I am not familiar from me and my guys my sergeant. >> I know. I'm just trying to tell how it is. >> Yeah. Yeah. We come we come pick up people for these detectives and stuff like that. So to get you quicker in the station and quicker back home. Are you willing to talk to the detective? >> I don't care. I don't mind cuz I know. >> Do you want to give him your side of the story? You want to go tell the story? >> Yeah, cuz I know. >> It was clear that the moment the police mentioned the word check, the woman immediately understood what was happening. In fact, the authorities had already investigated the case beforehand, confirming her identity through her co-workers and the manager of her service company. You >> swear everything you're going to tell me is the truth? >> Yes. Okay. And >> just let me know if you recognize this person at all. Mhm. No, just a couple different angles of the person. No, the best people who could um definitely know if she had tattoo was other people who worked with her there, but I haven't seen her in years. So, I can't say that's that's a hard picture for me to say. And with the glasses on, it's hard for me to to say that's her. >> Raise your right hand. You swear everything you're going to tell me is the truth. Okay. So, these are some photographs from a City Bank um ATM machine. >> Mhm. >> This is dated 59 of 2023. >> Yeah. >> Do you recognize who that person is? >> I do. Yeah. >> You do? Who Who is that person in the photos? I think her name is or something. I'm not I'm not sure of her name exactly, but she she was a >> she worked there. She worked at >> worked for Miss >> Yes. before. >> Um, is it Amy Noel? >> I don't know her last name, but I know her first name, but something. >> Okay. >> Um, some other photos. >> Yeah, >> that that would be a neat for sure. Yeah. How do you >> How do you know her from >> from work from from >> Were you guys colleagues? >> Back on July 25th, after being taken to the police station, she shared her account of the events, claiming that everything had been done with the full consent of the elderly woman she cared for. >> So, was it nursing services? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, and what did you do for them? >> Um, I was a caregiver. >> Caregiver? >> Yes. >> Okay. And did did um Miss ever pay you for anything? >> No. Um she never paid me like cash. No, she never paid me cash. Okay. >> It was one time that um I was on the phone with my friend. Um she overheard me talking to my friend and um I was a little bit behind for my rent and stuff for my bill. So I was asking my friend if they can let me borrow money until I get paid for the follow I was supposed to get paid. And when I was over, like the call was done and she's like, "I can't help you um paying your bill." I said, "First, >> before I do that, I have to call the office and let them know that you offer me help before I take anything from you." She said, "You don't have to. It's my money. I do whatever I want to do." And I said, "I understand it's your money, but there's a policy." They told me when I was getting the application done, you can um get anything from them. She said, "You don't have to. It's my money." Like I said, it's my money. I do whatever I want to do with it. You don't have to confirm the office. You can go ahead and get it. I said, "As long, I'm not going to be in problem." Okay. >> She said, "No, you're not going to be in problem. I'm the one that offer it to you. You're not the one that asks me." I said, "Okay, no problem, sis. I needed to you know how it is if you don't pay the bill so they going to kick you out. I said, "Well, as long I'm not going to be in problem." Okay. >> Okay. So, did she end up giving you money? >> No, she didn't give me money. She She had to give me a check. >> Okay. >> She insisted that this was exactly what the elderly woman had agreed to pay, but the police already had evidence and inconsistencies ready to confront her with. >> All right. So, I want to show you some things. Um, so take a look at that this photo here. All right, that's you at City Bank. I think it's dated 59 of 2023. It's about 3:07 in the afternoon in the video. All right. That check there that's in your hand was for about $9,000. Mhm. >> Is that the check that you saying that she gave you? >> Yes. >> Those are the checks. Yes. >> All right. Cuz that check I know these are some photos from video surveillance, but when you when you watch the video, you know, you can see clear as day. You can see, you know, your name and $9,000 on there. Um, so that's that's the check that you're saying that she paid you to help you pay some bills. >> Mhm. Okay. And it was returned. The bank the bank the the bank had returned it. >> The bank returned it. >> Yeah. >> Why did they return it? >> I don't know. >> So So what happened after that? When >> I didn't have the chance to use it cuz the [ __ ] just returned it. It was returned after I deposited. >> It was returned. >> Interesting. >> Now, did you write that check or did she? >> She did. Okay. I never I never widely checked myself. >> The checks presented by the police were confirmed to have been written by her, not by the victim as she had claimed. Yet, she seemed unaware that she was slowly being exposed, continuing to maintain a confident front while facing the authorities. >> So, why is this check filled out in your handwriting? >> No, this is my handwriting right here signed in. >> Yeah, you're signing in the back. But I'm saying that handwriting is the same handwriting on the front of the check where it says payable to you the day you know your name is printed but she don't print her name she signs her name in cursive. So you know the neighbor and the other helper says that you know they help write you know they help her with banking and stuff like that. Like this is not's handwriting. So why why is this whole check filled out when you're handwriting and not miss that's that's my handwriting she's the one that always help me [snorts] >> okay cuz she don't she don't write like that >> I need you to be honest with me obviously you're here for a reason I mean That's not what handwriting. So why'd you fill this check out? >> She asked. >> She asked you to fill it out. >> Yeah. >> She had to pause for a moment before giving that answer. Setting aside the $9,000 check, the police continued to present other high value checks. Let's see how she responded. >> So this is check 266. It's all in the same handwriting again, the front of the check and the signature. That was for $5,000. It's dated March 26, 23. So why did you get another $5,000 from her? >> She always wanted to help, not me. I never asked her for help. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> But you told me she's only written you one check for the 9,000. There's two checks. >> Do she say she didn't help or >> Well, I want you I want you to explain why there's two checks. >> You told me there was only >> She was helping. She was helping me. >> Okay. But you told me she's only written you one check. >> Then I asked her >> and now you got two checks. >> I asked her. Then I when I need help, I went I went on I >> You've asked her for more checks. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, here's another one. [snorts] Check 267. >> It was evident that her confidence was gradually crumbling. The total amount in question had already been determined to be $50,000. Who would really be willing to help so generously? Yet, the woman began to deflect by pointing to the elderly woman's memory issues in her defense. >> She was good. You know, everything she was saying to me, it wasn't like she was lying about anything. >> Okay. >> So, I just don't know. I I know you're telling me these were gifts to help you, but she >> is swearing that she never >> authorized any of this. >> Like cuz I used to have dreads. >> That's I used to have dreads. That's the only way she will remember me by my by my hair cuz I used to have burgundy >> on my hair. That's the only way. Yes. That's the only way she will remember. If I go now, she's not going to remember me. >> What are you going there for? I mean, I'm just saying like I'm not going. I'm just saying if I if we go now, she's not going to remember me. She will only remember because of my hair. Cuz when I used to have dressed, but when I walked in, that's how she remember me. She said, "I know you. >> You've been here before." I said, "Yes, I was literally here yesterday." She said, "Did you sleep here?" I said, "No, I went home and come back the next day." >> Mhm. >> She'll be asking you a question like even you give her the things already like you know. So that's how it is. >> The woman was charged with felony grand theft, felony uttering of a forged instrument, and felony fraudulent use of personal identification. It's clear that even when someone tries to justify their actions as helping or acting with consent, the evidence can quickly reveal the truth. Attempting to manipulate or deflect responsibility rarely prevents consequences and only makes the situation worse. What do you think about cases like this?

Help me. >> Put your hands behind your back now. >> Are you there? Help me. >> I can't help you. >> Talking. >> On September 22nd, 2024, police received a call from Walmart about a 31-year-old woman named Mercedes who hid merchandise in her bags and backpack. When officers arrived, she tried to run, but they immediately stopped her at the door. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Give me please please please. Please. >> I need your help. I need your help.

I have the money for pay everything, please. >> What she was begging for was already far too late. Worse yet, every action she took was considered resisting, only creating more trouble for herself. >> Help me. Help me. Please. Please listen to me. Listen me. Listen me. Listen me. >> Just stay still. Just stay still. Let him let him do what he got to do. >> Help me. >> You're making it worse. >> Help me. Okay. Help me.

Please, please. Officer. Officer. Officer. I'm sorry. Say, official. Officer, listen. Officer, please. Official. >> Official. Officer. Official. Please. Please pay me. I'm paying everything right now. Please. Clearly, her desperate please would not be granted. And once she calmed down a bit, the woman began offering reasons why she didn't want to face any trouble. >> Okay, listen me. >> I have the probation. Please, you're not like my problem. I'm paying everything. I'm promise. I have the money right now with me. Listen, official. >> Hey, he's not we're not going to keep >> official. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for >> listen.

You keep on saying that. You don't want to go to jail. So, first things first, you shouldn't have came into Walmart and spend two hours stealing. >> The staff had been watching her from the moment she walked in. Yet, she stubbornly tried to change the situation, unaware that the law isn't so easily bent. >> Cuz you're on probation, right? >> But you come into Walmart and you spend 2 hours walking around stealing. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> Well, you want me to help you? I can't help you. >> I help me. Help me. Please help me. Listen, listen. Everything for forward. Listen. I'm sorry to official. Official listen. Let him do his job. >> I'm sorry. >> Okay. I listen. Please. You going to jail. No. No. I can't. I can't. [screaming] Sorry. Let me turn off the thing. I had the money. >> Okay. Sit down.

You keep on talking. >> No one help me. Please. I tell you. I'm taking everything right now. Help me. Her non-stop begging kept interrupting the officers. And on top of the shoplifting, she was carrying something that made police even more suspicious. >> Listen to me. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Right now, I'm not Right now, I'm going ask you a serious question. >> Great idea. >> What is that white stuff that's in there? >> What? What is it? >> Okay. What is it?

Well, >> with everything you done, I can't help you. >> I pray for you. >> It's unclear how many times she pleaded, but she spared no one directing her please at everyone present, forcing the officers to work hard to calm her down. >> I I need y'all sweaty. >> What? >> Screw down. >> What? >> Screw down. >> Only I need to speak with the office yet. >> Listen. Listen. I'm going figure. I didn't want her to try to bite me. >> I'll be scared >> here.

We are going to help you. >> My father, my father in the Cuba. My father and my mother in the Cuba. the whole thing. >> Yeah, but I think she's going to slip this left one. >> The woman was charged with resisting an officer without violence, possession of drug paraphernalia, and thirdderee grand theft. Trying to fix a crime after getting caught does not erase it, and panic only makes things worse. If you are already on probation, every decision matters even more because one reckless moment can cost your freedom all over again. Next, this woman was just as chaotic. >> Let me go for it. Let me go for it. >> No, we're doing my mother has been a a deputy sheriff a wheel life. You want to take all day? It was just on the app. Like, why are you doing that? You're doing that on purpose. >> No, I'm not. >> On the 4th of January, 2026, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a woman committing retail theft. Upon arrival, she got into a car and attempted to flee, but officers stopped her in time. This was what happened next. >> I got what I paid for. >> Okay. Well, let me see your receipt then. >> My phone. I don't have to prove [ __ ] to neither one of you. >> Yeah, you do. Let me see your receipt. >> I don't got to prove [ __ ] to >> All right.

Let me see. >> Hey, look, sir. >> Let me see. >> Okay, Tari, get in the car. We going to go. This my this my code paid for for $1479. I'm going to go. Hey, can you get in the car? >> Stop tripping over jacket that I just paid for. >> Okay, >> Tariq, come on. It's cool. It's cool. >> It's not cool. Let me see what you bought. >> These are the items I bought. Excuse me. >> Okay, >> stop. Don't touch me. Mama, don't touch me. >> So we can go. Let's go. >> Okay. You're not going anywhere. >> This is the jacket. This is the phone. >> Stop. >> Like y'all overdoing it. I'm about to steal anything. >> What you yelling for? >> This This is the jacket.

Let me >> You tripping. >> Let me read it. >> Sir, you don't have to hold the phone till you snatch it. Don't do all that. You can read my my phone from here, which says the purchase. Step back. >> Get in the car. Get in the car. Get in the car. Get in the car. >> The woman clearly showed her uncooperative attitude and every command from the officers was ignored. Her actions that followed only grew more arrogant. >> I'm Ma'am, >> don't touch me, bro. You tripping. >> Okay. Stop touching me. >> You're going to go to jail. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I'm not doing >> Put your hands behind your back. >> [ __ ] >> Get in the car. >> Stop. You guys overseen that [ __ ] >> He overdoing. Stay snatching my phone. Calm down. Put your hands. Calm down. >> Get out of the car. Calm down. Get in the car. >> Where's your code at that you paid for? >> Get out of the car. >> Get in the car. >> Get out of the car or you are going to go to jail. You're obstructing right now. Get out of the car. >> Get out of the car. >> Get back. >> Get back. Get back right now. >> Her act of swatting the officer's hand should have gotten her arrested immediately, but she quickly retreated into the car as if it could protect her. Of course, it did nothing to stop the officers. >> Get back or I'm going to get you back. >> Get out of the car. >> You're going to go to jail. >> For what? I paid for the [ __ ] >> Then you just sir. >> Okay, but you are not stop. >> You're going to get >> Yes, it is. >> The proof of pursuit. Give me this hand. >> Give me your hand. Give me your hand. >> 520. We got two to 10. >> Stop it. >> Hey, let me go. Let me go. Let me go, bro. >> No. >> While we're doing your [ __ ] my mother has been a a deputy sheriff wheel my entire life. I can't wait to call. I can't wait to call. I can't wait to call. I can't wait to call. >> Stop. >> The jacket that I paid for on my phone on my phone again. Like I said, like I say, >> even he's telling you to count down. Oh, cuz you overdo it. Why are you pushing? >> Sir, can you get your partner? He's pushing me. >> I'm I'm a young lady. I'm a young lady. I deserve respect. >> So, let me go. >> She called herself a young lady. Yet, she failed to realize she was old enough to take responsibility for her actions. At that moment, she even confronted the officers instead. >> Let me go. What are you over? >> I'm trying to tighten your handcuffs so they don't tighten up on you. >> Fine. Okay, Case. Just Just chill out, okay? I don't consent to any search. >> Can you look at at the proof of purchase? Seriously, you're overdoing it along with the proof of purchase. Please go to the receipt like you tripping. What the [ __ ] >> That's the proof of purchase. I want to leave now before I sue y'all. For real. That's my proof of purchase. I want to go before I sue y'all. Get me out of these handcuffs. >> You tripping. >> Y'all tripping. He didn't. >> It's cool. That's my pro of purchase. There's no reason I should be in cuffs. So, can you look so I can go? >> Listen. The reason that you are in handcuffs is cuz you can't listen. >> Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. So, can you look at the the documentation along with the purchase with the item that's purchased? >> Okay. So, we can go >> settle down. >> You can't just go walking up on people. >> You guys didn't do anything. You could have been out of here by now. You did this. >> He aggressive. >> Ma'am, you said you weren't showing me. That was your exact words. >> After I previously showed it to you already, you already had my phone. The body came right there. >> You're ma'am. You're right. Show you. We're not debating this. We don't have a dialogue about it. I'm not going to go back and forth. >> Yeah, we do. I'm a college graduate. I don't have any. >> We'll wait for you. We'll wait for you guys. >> Dialogue for this stuff so we can move on. >> Get it all out of your system so we can figure out what we got going on here. >> Go back to the app so I can see that. >> Man, you want to take all day? It was just on the app. Like, why are you doing that? You're doing that on purpose. >> No, I'm not. >> You're full of bro. >> Really? You never said that, right? >> You full of it, bro. Come on, man. Can Can somebody else do this [ __ ] He's incompetent. He's incompetent. >> Shortly after, the woman was taken to the loss prevention office to review the situation with the store. She still fully believed that talking non-stop would somehow prove her innocence. >> So, what I was trying to explain to him before he started yelling at me was that my the rest of my funds, he was bringing them. That's why he was at the front door. So, the like the intentions to steal weren't my intentions. So, what I was expressing to her is the gentleman was at the at the door to bring me the rest of the payment so I can get the rest of the items that were in the cart. The black one. >> You pay with the black one? >> Yes, sir. >> That's on her on her phone. She's got a receipt for that. >> Well, that one's picked. That's why I was trying to. And this is the same exactly. You can see it could be the same. >> When you started getting argumentative, it made me not want to get the rest of the stuff anymore. I wasn't trying to leave with the items. As I previously stated, he was coming to meet me for for my wallet so I can pay for the rest of the stuff. Like, you're you're overdoing it. Like I previously stated, like you're overdoing it. >> 15. >> I'll tell you what, like >> 22. What? >> It can't be over 50. >> Yeah.

He had a credit card. >> Turning back to the suspect, police deliberately listened to his side of the story, but he appeared to portray himself as the victim rather than offering any real justification. >> He's some random person that I walked in uh the store with and he got like really close to me. He was here in my car. You guys right here? >> No, the way. >> Okay. >> And uh he uh grabbed my shirt and started yanking on. >> He started yanking on your shirt. >> Yeah. Okay. I'm like, "Dude, what the hell are you doing, man?" He's like, "Hey, >> so you guys are walking and all of a sudden starts doing that?" >> Yeah. He just keeps getting closer and closer and squeezing squeezing harder and harder. Right. On my arm. I'm like, "Hey, dude. Look at my arm. I can't breathe." Yeah. Like I was like, "I'm dehydrated."

Okay, now you're making So, explain sport. You said you never knew. >> So, this is a picture with the uploads on Lift, right? When you sign in. >> So, you you do know him? >> I don't know. >> Okay. But how is your lift account together? >> It's not It's not supposed to. That's lift area, but they're somehow merging us together. So, show me my picture on his his picture on mine. The man insisted that the fault did not lie with him, unaware that police had already uncovered a very different story. >> Yeah, >> your story is going to be different than his. That's normal. That's what we expect. Okay. >> This is your chance to tell me what's going on. Okay. >> Yeah. >> There are cameras all over this mall. >> Showing all sorts of stuff. >> Good, bad, otherwise. I don't know yet. >> Okay. >> So, if you tell me a story that matches what I see on the video, I'm going to be a lot more likely to believe you. If >> you tell me a story that looks vastly different than the video, I'm not talking about like whether you went right, left, around which pole, I don't care about that, >> but if you tell me something that doesn't match anything in that video, >> I'm not going to believe a word that you say otherwise. Does that make sense? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay. So, now's your chance if you want to tell me something about what's going on today, what's going on today. >> All right. So, I came in this morning to get a replacement SIM card cuz my cellular service has been shipped, right? It's owned by T-Mobile. Okay. >> So, go to the T-Mobile store. and they said, "Okay, wait 10 minutes." They did some sort of reset on their side and they said, "Wait 10 minutes and then uh restart your phone and go back into it." I was like, "All right." So, I left 15 20 minutes and then I called the 1800 uh team. I was like, "Hey, what the hell?" You know, they told me to do this and it didn't work. >> So, like, okay, go back, right? And so, that was my only option. >> And um previously our lift accounts have been merging. This is Lyft's error. >> Okay. So basically his profile picture showing up on mine, my profile picture showing up on his >> and his car is showing up on mine and my car is showing up on his >> and so we're going back and forth on uh like a digital, you know, tech support uh debate with Lift like, "Hey, what the hell resolve this?" >> Okay? >> You know, and uh they finally resolved it now. >> Okay. And uh I think that because he saw me uh like there was some odd like recognition of familiarity. >> Okay. >> And like came grabbed my shirt and he started yanking on me. >> Okay. >> Right. >> The man's hesitant and stumbling words appeared to catch the officer's attention. Even setting that aside, police already had evidence that made him wary of every answer he gave. >> What's with this stuff? >> Dude, that's all him. I don't know what the hell. >> He's got a video of you holding these things. >> Yeah, cuz he >> inside T-Mobile before any of this happened based on your story. So, remember I told you you tell me a story that doesn't sound like it makes sense. I'm going to have a hard time believing anything you say. Now, I have a hard time believing anything you say. You're standing inside T-Mobile calmly at the counter holding these items. >> Okay. So, that is some uh I >> I gave him all the info already. He He wanted to know where it came from, right? And I I told him where it came from and what she did with it and who she is and all of that. So So what parts are you making up today? All of it? Some of it? None of it. Tell me what's going on. I'm asking you questions. This is your one chance to tell me what's going on. >> Um >> who is she to you? >> An acquaintance. A friend of a friend. >> Okay. Um, and uh, pretty much his driver's license has been passed around to a couple people. >> Okay. >> Um, and uh, that ended up with me because she jumped in the car with me one time. She dropped it in the passenger seat. >> Okay. >> Um, and then the rest of that stuff is credit applications for when I I work at a dealership. [laughter] Okay. So like inquiries that come in all out, you know, hey, I'm interesting this car inquiry. Um, and then through finance, uh, Fraser, uh, the main dealer fin. >> Okay. Um, >> what dealership do you work at? >> Auto Gallery Realy. >> What's it called? >> Lux Auto Gallery in Addison. Okay. So, why do you have a credit card with his name on it? >> That I don't believe that's why. >> Shortly after, police explained the situation to the victim. However, it seemed to become an opportunity for the suspect, leading to an unexpected turn of events moments later. >> So, um, >> you like it today? >> Give us a little more time. You got your information already? >> Did the officer getting your information? >> Yeah. Yeah. So you you happened to come to T-Mobile because of that and then he was and you saw him here or what? >> Yeah, like as I said like 11:54 I have received this running on the ground behind your back. >> Put [screaming] your hands behind your back. >> I can't hear you. >> That mean we got him. >> Let me Hey, hand behind your back. pregnant doesn't know your name. >> Come on, move your hand. >> The man was charged with identity theft, credit card fraud, concealing identity, fleeing and eluding, and resisting arrest. Trying to escape responsibility with lies and hesitation only draws more suspicion.
