Get away from me. >> Keep you catching more charges, man. >> When shoplifterss abuse [music] their rights as citizens, they may think they're protecting themselves from officers, but in reality, they're trying to evade the law, and things can get even crazier. >> You're my I could be irritated. I could be irritated. >> You need to be respect. >> I know my wife, too. been recording. >> Don't ever stop put your hand behind your back. >> What the are you doing, [ __ ] >> I never steal that. What the is you doing? >> Get out of my face, bro. You're going to go to the ground. >> You're about to go down. >> You'll see it all in today's video. When a dumb shoplifter thinks she has every right to steal. Starting [snorts] with these two professional shoplifterss who were caught red-handed. >> Come here. >> Okay. Okay. You don't have to pull up. >> Don't walk away from me. >> Okay. I'm not walking away. >> Just put a handcuff. >> On the 4th of February, 2026, police approached two women who had just walked out of Dick Sporting Goods. There was little to say when both were suspected of hiding multiple items inside their hoodies. Here's what happened next. >> Hey, girls. Can you guys stop for a second? nearly advis. >> Okay. >> Stand over here. >> Okay. >> Put your bag down for me. >> Take your hand in your pocket. 925. You guys take anything from the store? >> No. >> No. >> You didn't take anything? >> No. I just was going to buy something from out of there from them. >> Did you buy anything? >> No, because they didn't have the signs. I'm on the phone with my boyfriend right now. >> They did have the signs that I >> Okay. They're saying you went into the dressing room, came out, you went in with some stuff, came out, didn't have the stuff. They went and checked. >> No, not me. I gave the lady the stuff. You can ask the lady. >> Okay. You gave who? >> It's a um white lady with black hair. >> Okay. She'll tell you. I gave her the stuff that I walked in the dress room with. >> Hang out first. Who did you give her stuff to? >> It's a white lady. She She was I don't know her name or nothing. She was standing right there when I came out and I gave her the items >> where by the dress room. She was standing right there putting on clothes on racks and stuff. >> Works in here. >> Yes. >> While they denied stealing and claimed they had returned everything, as if that erased any wrongdoing, a store employee had a very different story that confirmed their actions. Do we know if they actually took anything? >> So that was So they went in. When they went in, we opened up the fitting room. Everything was empty. When they came out, there were two empty hangers, large top. >> 10 15 came out with only two hangers. So >> Okay. >> And then so the one is saying that she gave some stuff to one of the workers when she came out. >> Yeah. The second time she gave me she saw me coming up from asking for three kids and the German behind them. They probably trying to leave also now but also behind them. >> All right. So you you're the one you're the one who saw them. >> Yeah. Yeah. I saw >> Let's see if they Let me see if they got anything. >> When I open the >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So do you want to do you want to press charges or you want to >> trespassing? >> You want to just do trespass warning? I don't know. >> The officer then searched one of the women and found her wearing three pairs of pants, making her original purpose for coming there look less like shopping. >> That's what's in your pocket. >> Hold on. I got it. Stop. Put your hands up. You have a pocket two pants. >> I see that. >> My own pants. >> Got three pants. >> 538 most likely. >> You're talking about 53. >> This has a tag on it. Are these their pants, too? >> I don't know. >> You would have known. You did it in the change. They're their pants. Okay. Stop. That one is put your hands on the wall. >> But the other one not. >> So the black pants are there. >> Yeah. Do >> you have anything else in your bra? >> After the officer's discovery, the woman who had been so defiant earlier was now forced to feel embarrassed as she pulled out the item she had hidden on herself. Somebody stare at her. >> Just put handcuffs on her now. >> Let We'll do that right here. >> Ah, so that's why you guys have tin foil. It turned out that while in the fitting room, the suspect had used the time to wrap the security tags in foil, preventing the alarms from going off and showing that her actions were carefully planned. [snorts] But it seemed the suspects hadn't planned on getting caught as they became visibly distressed in the patrol car. >> Call Star. >> Bae, I can't hear you, bro. I can't hear you. Um, I need to get on my head, bro. I know. That's why I be hating when I beefing with you and [ __ ] bro. Damn. >> Yes, it do. It got a lot to do with you. Wait, auntie did not want to give you a phone. Can I call my director? >> No, cuz she needed that. >> They did make a call later. I don't know her about her and she got her phone and write it down for you. >> My phone broke so I have to talk to Siri right now. Write it down from your phone. >> You can't go in cuz it's broke. I have to talk to Siri. Yeah. If I talk to Siri. >> Okay. So, I would like to talk to Siri. You want to lock it? I go to >> No, the screen don't work at all is what I'm saying. Like I have to talk to her and tell her to call like right or something. >> Okay. >> That's not your name. Okay. What is your name? >> Okay. >> It's the same with me, too. I'm sorry. >> You gave a wrong name, too? >> Yeah, I was scared. >> Why you guys giving fake names? >> Cuz I was I was I was scared. Yeah. >> What? Yeah. Yeah. I want to take me on a warrant as well. >> Oh, I know. >> In the end, Stephanie Azor and Deborah Ayania Screen were charged with grand theft of $750 to under $5,000 and possession of an anti-shoplifting device. Trying [snorts] to hide stolen merchandise or disable security devices can turn a simple theft into more serious charges. One bad decision can quickly create even bigger consequences. Worse, the woman tried to use sympathy to get herself out of trouble. Um, and you made the selections of the LOL supply of the LOL dolls and things along those lines. >> I [music] recently lost my hand. >> I'm sorry. >> On August 10th, police were dispatched to a Target store after receiving a report of a theft committed by a woman, but things became more serious when they discovered this was not her first time there. The loss prevention employee even had photos of her posted on the wall. The other one I have clear as day footage of her not even touching a check lane. [music] She didn't pay for anything in that. >> Well, you know, if you'd like to, if you want to come out with me, we'll talk to her >> or if you'd like to speak to her at any time, you're more than welcome to. She's requesting that do the trespass and everything. If you want to ask her about the other day or or she'll ask you, maybe she'll >> say something to you. There's a couple of like little things that I say when I'm interviewing them myself. So, I'll just start with the same way. >> Okay, however you like. had already been arrested by the officer and placed in the patrol car. Yet, she still had no idea that everything had been uncovered, stubbornly denying it all without any shame. >> Hey, how's it going? Good. >> You stay in there. >> Can I please talk to you? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm here to talk. So, just before we even start, in order for me to even be able to call the police or do anything like this, make any type of detainment, I have to have a full investigation of information that has no wiggle room. Okay. So, um, when you were here on the 29th, I also know you were here yesterday and you did absolutely nothing. I watched you the whole time that you were here. >> You were here. I have your plate. I have pictures of your plates. I have movements the entire time you were in the store. But on the 29th when you were here of July, um, and you made the selections of the LOL supply of the LOL dolls and things along those lines. Um, so the the footage that I have is of your doppelganger. It's not of you. >> No, I didn't say that. >> Okay. I'm definitely I can't recall being here yesterday. >> That's fine. >> That was the photo I showed you also. You identified as being yourself. >> That's definitely me. I'm more than willing to pay everything that you have and um even if I have to pay a fine, but I'm just not in the right state of mind because I've gone through a procedure and I'm on some medication. You can check my >> Yeah, I'm I'm really sorry. Um so, in regards to the making of the payments, I'm not trying to be mean about this, right? Unfortunately, at this point, it has to go through court proceedings, right? Um, however, >> she eventually had to admit it after the officer presented the evidence, but even then, she showed no remorse, continuing to use her circumstances to gain sympathy and plead with the officer. >> Um, just be honest about everything because that's what's going to indicate what's going to happen moving forward. So, saying that maybe you weren't here, that you didn't do these things, it's I have I have I have footage of them. sounds and I have not denied that I have been here but like when you said I was here yesterday I can't even recall being here yesterday perfectly honest with you the 29th >> she she was here yesterday she just didn't do anything I was just using that in this um you parked in almost in >> you parked right over there you walked in the store looked at kids shoes walked around the store for a literal minute and a half and then exited the store again >> I I don't remember >> and that's perfectly fine if you don't remember that then I would suggest that you let somebody know I really really would appreciate if I can go ahead and pay for all the losses that you guys have had because of my situation and if we don't take it to the jail. I have four children and I'm I'm really sorry that I've caused this. >> Yeah. But I'm more than happy to just pay the laws and whatever fine I have to pay and not having to deal with jail or anything because I feel like because of my situation is probably going to get even worse. And if there is a way to settle this, I would really really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the the best way that this is going to get paid is through restitution. At this point, there will be an opportunity for you to pay it back and maybe some type of closure on the case through that, but um prior incidents and you literally just walk. >> Clearly, she knew the officer had noticed her during the previous incident, but she chose to ignore it. [snorts] Now, she began coming up with unbelievable stories to lessen her responsibility for what happened today. >> So, what's going on today? We got the call. >> Yeah, >> pin the wall. >> I'm just going through something. I did not mean to shoplift. I totally realized that I didn't bring my purse. I was coming in here and I was going to go back and have someone come in and help me out and pay for everything. And I'm more than happy to pick. >> How many items did you bring with you? >> I don't even know. I'm not in the right set of my mind. I'm >> okay. >> Just recently. >> So, obviously there's several large I mean, what what did you grab that you remember from the store? >> I remember a large box and um Another large box. >> Okay. Two large boxes. >> Okay. >> I recently lost my hand out of CO and >> I just realized that I just came in and um I didn't pay for it altogether. I >> just realized that I need to have someone come and help me. And I was just about to go in and have someone come and pay me that and help me. help you to pay for everything you just took out of the store and loaded up. >> Okay. >> The officers then began recovering the merchandise and everything they found only made it clearer that she appeared fully aware of her actions rather than being unable to understand them because of an illness. >> Yeah. Uh so we'll verify what's yours. And before you put anything up, I'll need to get photographs and and all that as well. Okay. So, I'm assuming you want to tell me yay. Nay. I'm assuming yes. >> Absolutely. This is not mine. That's her purse. >> Her purse right now. >> This is all of our >> that up on the front for right now. >> This is also ours. This is also ours. This is everything in here. Yep. This is all us. >> Okay. >> Very consistent with the stuff that she's previously stolen as well. That's all us. That's all our brand. They don't even sell it anywhere else. She's got an entire car full. >> Yes. >> Yes. Hand. >> Yes. >> If you're good on this, I can hand it a tour and you can go do your thing. If you're good with the In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft. Trying to explain away clear evidence rarely makes the situation [music] better. Once the facts are established, honesty and cooperation may prevent further escalation. [music] Next, these teenagers appear to have experience with criminal behavior. >> Stop right there. Hey, police. Stop right there. Now, get over here. >> Don't ever stop. On the 27th of February, 2026, officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a report of a theft involving a group of three. Two females and one male. What made it more concerning was that all three were still in their teens. Here's what happened next. >> Where did you see them coming out of? Right here. >> They ran out from the Burlington around the corner. Right there. >> Burlington. >> Okay. So, you didn't see them coming in from the Play-Doh, right? >> No, no, no, no. >> Okay. >> Hey, nobody stole a bunch of stuff from your store, right? Not to my knowledge. Boy. >> Okay. >> There's what? Multiple kids running. We got them detained with clothes. >> Are you Do you know what their tags look like by chance? Like on the figure out. >> Okay. >> Yeah. We'll figure it out. >> You're find out cuz I saw I'm the one that called them. >> You calling from this direction? You didn't see them coming out from the Plato? >> No, no, no, no. They came from Burlington. >> From Burlington. >> I heard the alarm. So that's when I and then >> So it sounds like they have stuff from the Dollar Tree, but it doesn't look like they have anything from here or anywhere else. >> So I'm just going to go check I'll check Burlington, too. >> Are you going to be here for 4 minutes? >> I'll be here as long as you need me. We'll come back and then tell you you're good. >> All three reportedly ran from the store carrying a pile of merchandise, but they didn't get far before officers found them. >> I'm out with them. >> No. No. Stop right there. Do not move. Stop right there. HEY, POLICE. STOP RIGHT THERE. Now get over here. Right there against the wall. No, no, no. Against the wall, dude. Miss, come here. Don't make me chase you. >> Get against the wall now. Do it now. You over here. Anybody got anything on them? You have any weapons or anything on you? Slide over, miss. How old are you? How old? >> 19. >> How old are you? I can't hear you. >> 19, too. Stand up, dude. Put your hands against the wall. I'm going to put everybody in cuffs right now until I figure out what's going on. Put your hands behind your back right here for me. You're being detained. You're not under arrest. You understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Wait, what are my rights since I'm leaving? >> Okay. No, no, no. We're not starting that. Okay. She's 19. She's 20. They're all They're all adults. I'm I'll take the cuffs off you. Okay. I just need to figure out what's going on. You can go and turn around and sit down on this curb. Okay. >> Yeah. Just right there. Good. >> You understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Cuz it's me and then there's three of you and you guys are reportedly running from the store and I don't know what we have quite yet. >> All right, man. I'm just going to get your name real quick. Okay. >> Stand up. Face away. >> Spread your feet. >> Was it Alex or is that short for something? Alex. A L E X. >> Yeah. >> Somebody get your info yet, miss. >> Yeah.

You were there. >> A crime, right? So So those What else was taken from Burlington? >> Two sweatshirts. I don't know where all this stuff is. >> In the suspect's bags, officers found more than just stolen merchandise. They also discovered something suspicious, prompting [snorts] one suspect to be questioned separately. >> What's in that bag? >> I don't really know. >> You don't really know. So, why are you taking something from a friend? They don't know. That looks kind of suspicious to me. You got some type of residue in there. There's a pipe. >> I don't know. >> Okay. Did So, what did you think it was? >> I didn't ask any questions. I just They told me to hold it. I hold it. >> Which friend told you to do that? >> No. >> They're not here. Okay.

It's been there like I don't know how many weeks. >> How many what? >> 3 weeks. It's been like there for like four weeks. >> For 4 weeks. >> Okay. So, you have no idea what it is. They just told you to hold on to it for them. >> Okay. >> So, it comes back tested for narcotics. You're in trouble cuz you know narcotics, right? So, I would stop with >> and tell us what the hell that is. >> I know one way or another. >> Right. But now you're but you're 19 years old carrying around clearly some kind of narcotic. >> I can I don't know. I don't know. >> It doesn't matter. You're in possession of narcotics. You and I both know that's some kind of illegal substance. >> Even if you're saying it's it's your friends and she's telling you to hold it for you or he is telling you to hold it for you. You're you're in possession. So you're you're screwed basically. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Who stole the co? So you're going to have what's to steal? >> Yes. >> Okay. So you want to tell me who stole the co? Is it your girlfriend over there? I don't know which one. >> Answers like I don't know or it's my friends came from this woman calmly without a hint of remorse as if they had been prepared in advance. But even worse was the attitude of the other female suspect. >> Sit down. No. Right now you're you're being detained. Sit down. Do you want me to put you Do you want me to put you in handcuffs or do you want to sit down? Because we're investigating a crime right now. >> Okay. But can I >> Do you want to go in cuffs?

I just reached on my scissors. >> The tone is what it is. What question do you have? >> That's her tone. She went on strong and I'm just telling her. I'm just trying to ask questions. >> What's the question? >> Was I ever strong on you? No, it was her. >> Ma'am, >> y'all talking about I'm trying to No. No. Now it's us. >> Do you have a question? >> No. No. Now it's me. Y'all have been hard on me and I've beening calm as >> I just wanted to ask questions. >> We're not being hard on you. You're the suspect. >> I just been asking question. I just wanted to ask questions. >> There's no need to yell, miss. I'm standing. >> Exactly. That's what I be trying to say. No more reason for y'all to yell. Talking about you. >> Exactly. Cuz she know she wasing real with the problems. Okay. Can I talk Can I talk to the person that's like getting arrested before >> the other? No, not right now. Do you understand? Because you're both suspects in crime. We don't need you collaborating on what your story is. That's fine. I want Okay, but here's the thing. >> When I came around the corner, there's three of you, right? We don't know what's going on. We don't know what people have. So, tensions are high. >> Well, yeah. When I see 12 stop in front of me, obviously, I'm going to get scared. Like, if there's 12 stopping in front of me, obviously. >> Well, we didn't just stop. Listen, we didn't just stop you. >> Yes, you did. You stopped in front of me, flashed flashlights on my face, and was like, "Boom, don't run." Boom. >> Yeah. I started giving you lawful orders. Do you know why? Because you matched the description of suspects that just committed a crime. >> Two females and one male dressed in a gray t-shirt and jeans. And I saw him earlier when I was driving through the parking lot. >> The only male suspect was also questioned separately and seemed to follow the same script. They all denied stealing, but he had an explanation for where the merchandise came from. >> Oh, we also went to the Dollar Tree, but like No, we actually paid for the stuff there. Like that we have a receipt for it. >> No, we we pay like Apple cash like you know on the phone like >> and they didn't give you a receipt or anything like that. >> Like we even have >> Well, right now we're investigating all this so trying to figure it out. She's 19. >> We're on 19. >> Okay. >> How can you prove that you bought this stuff? >> Like you got like a Chase app or something updating. You didn't buy it. Okay. Where did you guys take it from? >> Our Burlington. >> The one right here. >> Yeah. It was It was It was him. >> What was that? >> It was We just walked out the cart and like we got our stuff out and we got our stuff and we asked him. He was like, "What the what's going on?" She started running. I didn't know what the going on >> cuz you said you didn't pay for it. >> Well, obviously not. I didn't take it. >> Do you want me to put you in my car? >> Yeah. Huh? >> Okay. Come on. >> Sit for a sec. >> Okay. So, what happened? So, he took the two sweaters out of Burlington. >> Yeah. We were just >> And he started running. >> No, we just trying to shop there and like um we just like um we came from Dollar Tree. So, we came from there. So, we already had the car. >> So, we had money to burn. >> Doesn't matter. >> Right. What you being charged for? Um he had like parted ways and I thought he was going to go like some message or whatever but he came back and he was like let's go let's go let's go and like so we left and the the alarm started going off and our like >> this woman eventually admitted what happened in detail causing all three of their false stories and excuses to fall apart. [music] But they still thought they wouldn't be arrested. They were all wrong. >> Yeah. You need drugs. >> Back up right now. >> We told you many times back away from the car. We need so back up. >> Get it. You little >> sit down. >> Or not. >> Get out. Chris. Chris. Chris. >> All right. Give my identification. Give my ident. >> You get it back. >> Give me my identification. >> Give my ID right now. >> Body camera. You're acting like a child. >> You're being recorded. >> Don't ever put your hands behind your back. >> Don't put your hands behind. No, you are not going to do this. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> YOU MADE A CHOICE. You made a choice. Don't ever put your hands on your back. >> Send us another unit. >> Christina, stop. >> Face the wall. >> Stop >> putting your hands behind your back. >> I WAS NOT DRIVING AWAY. WE WERE BACKING away from you. I asked you to back away. Don't ever put your hands on me. >> Exactly. I was literally trying to get a phone call to get your wallet, >> but you wouldn't let me. >> Why record this? >> You go. >> Let's go. >> Hey, get him. Watch him. Watch him. >> I'm so >> Don't ever put your hands on me again. >> Your body cam wasn't even on you. Just turn it on. >> Okay. >> Stop. Get me the out of here. >> No. Shut the up. All three were taken into custody afterward, but surprisingly after the investigation, none of them was charged with theft. However, their earlier actions led to other charges, including Christina Korea, 19, [music] was charged with battery and resisting a peace officer. Evelyn Garcia, 19, was taken [music] into custody for possession of a suspected controlled substance pending lab results, while Alex Garcia, 19, was released at the scene. >> [snorts] >> One bad decision can quickly turn a simple investigation into something much more serious. Trying to avoid responsibility or resisting officers can create additional consequences, even when the original theft allegation does not [music] lead to charges. Next, this woman went even further, risking additional charges over a single shoplifting incident. >> Stop. Stop. Please >> don't make it worse than it already is. Ma'am, please >> keep you catching more charges, man. you catching more charges. >> On May 10, at a Walmart in Savannah, Georgia, police approached a woman with unpaid merchandise in her hands after she had passed the final point of payment. It seemed like an open andsh shut case, but you wouldn't expect the strange calmness that came from her afterward. >> How you doing, man? >> Too late. >> Please don't do it for me. >> Stop. Stop. Please >> don't make it worse than it already is. Ma'am, >> don't do it to me. Please, please don't do it. >> I don't care. >> Please, sir. Please, sir. Please, sir. Please, sir. Please. >> Metro, she's running from me. Start them quick. She's in the store still. A game of cat and mouse then began, but the woman clearly knew what she was doing. Moments later, she immediately ran out the door and headed toward what she believed was a safe place. [screaming] We're out back in the parking lot. Silver still running. >> Get away from me. Get away from me. >> Keep you catching more charges, man. >> Get away from me. Get away from me. >> You catching more charges. Get away from me. I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail. I can't I can't go to jail. >> I can't go to jail. >> You spray me with that [ __ ] I'm going to put you in jail. >> You going to put me in jail anyway? >> Felony Metro, she just sprayed me with mace. She's in a white sedan fleeing in the car. The woman could have successfully escaped because she did not hesitate to pepper-spray the officer, an act that could expose her to a charge of simple battery against a police officer under OCGA section 1 6523 at But in Savannah, Georgia, her escape would only be temporary as the incident gave police even more reason to take her into custody later. Baron's Way. >> Baron's Way. >> Oh, okay. >> It's just a rough time for me. >> Okay. That's still not an excuse for anything. >> Yeah, I know. >> Okay. >> I checked drainage ditch. >> Yeah, we'll just >> I don't got nothing. >> I've already gone through your pockets. >> Okay. 1343 had an entrance. There you go. >> Walking around. >> Oh boy. >> Yeah, you're good. >> My name is Sergeant Washington. This is Detective Brunson. We're both uh properties crimes detectives uh for Sana police. How you doing? Can we get you the thing to drink? >> We heard the officer side of the story. You heard officers on scene side of the story. We heard your family side of the story. You want to talk to us and let us know what's going on, what happened, why you did what you did. >> Rough. No. >> It's a yes or no, ma'am. I just have to read something to you if you want to speak with us. >> Okay. Give me a second. >> Once again, we want to make sure you're okay. You want water? You want anything? Is is it you feel the air in there? You feel the air there. You see? It's pretty cool. >> It's okay. >> Okay. All right. Give me one second. All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. >> She showed no shame at all when she was arrested, as if she felt no remorse. She even had no hesitation in turning the officer's attempt to restrain her resistance into a story that portrayed her in a better light. >> Using any drugs today? >> No. >> Okay. Are you um >> in a good mental capacity at the moment? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Um so again, I spoke with everybody. I'm detective process. My sergeant Washington. We spoke with everybody pretty much involved. Um do can you walk us through what happened? You know that you were trying to get some baby clothes for theever. I think you told the officer that. Can you walk me through from there of you procuring the items and why that was done? >> Well, it was done cuz it was stupid. So, you know, I ain't can't make no excuse for that. But >> I didn't even get out the door. Like, I ain't put no stuff in my purse or nothing. So, like when I was like, "Okay, I put the stuff down." He just like kind of manhandled me. And like I was like, and then he said, "I don't." And that's what really >> triggered it. >> Okay. And then from there, what happened now? I tried to get on the phone. >> Okay. You said he manhandled. >> Thank you. >> He said he manhandled. You said he grabbed you on the shoulder, the arm. >> He grabbed my arm. He grabbed my wrist. >> Okay. >> He grabbed my side. He had a little bit. Yeah. He rough me up. And like >> it didn't stop there. Besides the shoplifting, her earlier attempt to flee also raised another issue as she had violated traffic laws. >> I was outside the house. Officers trying to stop me. Took off. Going about 100. >> Going about 100. stupid man. It was stupid, man. Like, you know, I can't make no excuse for you driving, you know, you know, different [laughter] >> like >> took off. >> I can't make no excuse for it, you know. >> I'm not going to try to make an excuse for it. It was stupid. You know, you know, it just it's just a hard time, but it's just it's just it's no excuse for it. But like, if that also wouldn't have roughed me up like that, then I wouldn't have >> you would have just said, "Hey, I did it." Whatever. >> Yeah. You know, just it is what it is. are very >> um Okay. At which point now that leads us to here >> again with your driving. I I don't know what school you went to for driving, but I mean you talking about fitting a needle in a in something that small. What were you doing? That's impressive. >> Give me a job I won't have to steal. >> Yeah. I think a little late for that if you would have a couple months back. >> I think you [laughter] still got job offers because that's some serious driving. Yeah. You know some serious driving. >> It's not funny. It's not funny. No. >> And I'm sorry, but they got you can't just be handling people all kind of jacked up ways like that. >> And I appreciate you. I'll let him know. >> I apologize. >> Okay. I appreciate you speaking with us. Um I hope you feel better. >> What's going on with you? >> I don't know. Hell it just in my eyes. Give my eye water. >> Got you. Probably got some pepper spray on your hair. Yeah. >> From earlier, >> right? Right. And then >> cuz it's burning. >> Yeah. You might got some pepper spray and then your lashes or whatever. I know EMS was just here. Did they look at you? Yeah, but it wouldn't burn it then. >> Okay. Okay. >> Well, we'll try and get you out of here. We see you get some transport. Okay. >> You ready to go now? >> In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting and felony obstruction. Trying to shift the blame after making a mistake does not change what happened. Taking responsibility and cooperating could prevent a bad situation from becoming even worse. Next, this man still thought he had the right to make demands after committing the offense. BUT WE SHOULD GO OUT OF the ground in a hospital, [ __ ] >> DID Y'ALL GO CHECK THE CAMERAS UP IN HERE? >> NOPE. >> WHY? >> Cuz we're done with you right now. >> No, bro. >> On the 11th of March, 2024, police received a report from Burlington about a male suspect allegedly shoplifting from the store. Officers approached him as he had just walked out the door, but they didn't expect things to quickly turn into a tense confrontation. I'm trying to put you down. >> What's going on, man? >> Check this out. I'm not stealing nothing. I came to talk to y'all. Okay. No. So, y'all know y'all don't got the right to do all this that y'all are cousin. >> Relax, bro. >> I just talked to the [ __ ] security lady about my [ __ ] For real, bro.

Look what y'all DOING TO ME. Y'ALL PUT ME some [snorts] Let's go HOME FOR A BIT. >> RELAX. >> He continued to deny the earlier theft, but when officers checked, they found several important details and immediately relayed them to the store employee. >> Hey, I'm assuming that was the guy who was matching description that was concealing stuff. >> He took a duffel bag and then started concealing more items in that, right? Perfect. We'll get uh >> Was he putting stuff in the other backpack that he had on and the duffel bag or Okay. I'll go get it back. >> You're good. >> I'm sorry, bro. For real. It was just hella police right there. I let them know what happened. They keep following me. I'm getting irritated. >> Yeah, I'm working. Yeah, >> you want to take me to jail. >> [ __ ] >> All right, we're going to do your rights, bro. You have the right to remain silent and you say I can't move against you law. >> You have the right this time to talk to a lawyer and I'm president with you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, won't be appointed to represent you for questioning if you wish. >> Any time to exercise rights and answer any questions, make statements. >> YOU JUST TOOK A BANDAGE ON ME, BRO. >> DO YOU UNDERSTAND THESE RIDES THAT I'VE EXPLAINED to you? >> Do you understand these rides that I've explained to you? I'm assuming there's going to be more in the backpack, but this is the this is your guys' duffel bag, right? Okay. >> And who's the one that called? >> Um, I had her call because I didn't have my phone on me. Yeah. Okay, no worries. >> Cuz if I beat his ass then what? >> No, you shouldn't do that. >> Come on, bro. For real. >> That [ __ ] is on camera, bro. For real. >> Okay. >> Officers continued searching his backpack where they found various merchandise along with medication bottles and suspicious pieces of foil. >> I told him you follow me. Okay. Oh, I got a bad day. for my game and my long. Oh, just right there. There was four of them. Yes. Right there. messing up the [ __ ] street. >> The man was then taken to the patrol car, but he still had no intention of admitting guilt. Instead, he became increasingly confrontational, voicing multiple objections because he believed it would prove his innocence. >> Did y'all go being audio and video recorded? >> It says so. So, okay. So, keep on letting me know that I got that I got a good CHANCE THEN. WHAT? WHAT AM I SAYING? THAT'S WRONG. WHAT? >> DID Y'ALL GO CHECK THE CAMERAS UP IN THERE? NOPE. >> WHY? cuz we're dealing with you right now. >> No, bro. GO LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED. >> ANTONIO, just >> I don't feel comfortable with bro though. I'm not. Come on. But I'm not doing that. And I got the right for that. No, >> that's not how it works. >> What? >> Everybody else. >> What? Okay. But he just Bro, that's what I'm saying. DID Y'ALL GO TAKE THE CAMERAS, BRO? I FLAGGED HIM DOWN. HE CAME OVER THERE BEATING MY ASS. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL MY STORY. IT'S THE TRUTH. >> I DIDN'T EVEN GO TAKE THE CAMERAS YET. THAT'S AUTOMATICALLY WRONG CUZ Y'ALL ARE FALSELY ACCUSING ME. >> YEAH. ANTONIO, we're not asking, >> BRO. I JUST SLAPPED YOU DOWN TO TALK TO YOU. Why can't you just listen? >> Come on, bro. >> We probably would HAVE BEEN RIGHT THERE ROLLING. I'VE NEVER HAD NO DO NOTHING STUPID. I'M TRYING TO MAKE MY DAY GO GOOD, BRO. >> ANTONIO, >> I got interview tomorrow. >> Nobody's asking you to say anything. >> Come on, bro. For real. I'm speaking I'm supposed to speaking facts, bro. >> You have the right to remain silent. We're not asking you any other question. >> What am I saying wrong? That's going to incriminate me. I'm not saying nothing wrong. >> So, why y'all KEEP SAYING THE CAMERAS IS ROLLING LIKE I'M SAYING SOMETHING BAD? >> WHY? BECAUSE WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S THE TRUTH that happened. >> There's nothing wrong. >> Y'ALL TRY TO RUN FROM THE TRUTH. WE HAD TO GO CHECK THE CAMERAS. >> DON'T LOOK AT WHAT I WAS DOING WALKING AROUND THE STORE. >> Seeing himself as the victim of the officers, he made everything more difficult. Even when officers tried to switch vehicles for him, the process was unnecessarily delayed. >> My life is in danger right now, not yours. How is your life in danger? >> Okay, then we're going to take you out the other way. Okay, that's what you want. >> That's not what I want. I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt myself. I don't want to hurt nobody. >> Then slide out the space. I just told you I'M THE COOLEST PERSON OVER HERE. >> You're not obviously cuz you're not over here, >> bro. Bro, that's what I'm saying. This was irritating me cuz y'all just treat me like I'm nothing we >> got a good return on. >> Yeah, he had a crush on his out of Washington. >> Out of Washington. Yeah. Okay. You going to slide up this way? >> YES. ONCE I FEEL SECURE, >> COME ON. We're not waiting anymore. >> Come on. Antonio, slide out this way for the 50th time. For the 50th first for the 50th first time, bro. I know. Come on, bro. I don't trust dude. I didn't give I didn't GIVE NO VIOLENT ENERGY TO DUDE. I just going to be like, "Hey bro, they up there [ __ ] with me, bro." Basically, I appreciate bro. >> Now, I'm going to come on bro. >> Come on. Slide out this way. In the end, Antonio Spivey was charged with thirdderee theft and resisting arrest. Denying wrongdoing doesn't make the evidence disappear. Once a situation escalates, resisting lawful commands can turn a theft case into additional charges and make the consequences more serious. Next, let's head to the airport for a theft case involving a woman who acted like she needed to be taken care of. >> Set this down. >> Serious. I'm pregnant. >> Listen. This is It's not It's not up to me. Okay. Go ahead. Set this down. Listen to this. Please not pay them. I'll go pay them. >> It's It's too late. It's It's too late. >> On the 12th of September 2025, officers were dispatched to a store at the airport after receiving a report of a theft. The incident involved a victim who had reportedly lost a wallet, and surveillance footage appeared to show a woman wearing a white hoodie involved. Here's what happened when officers approached her. >> Get off the phone for me. >> One second. >> Let's walk right up here. Okay, so let's be straight with you. Okay, I got you on camera. Take the wallet. >> Okay. Where's the wallet at? >> This in my bag. >> Can I have it, please? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we're going to take it back. Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> These are friends. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Was it in a wrapping already? >> No. >> Okay. Do you have a driver's license ID on you? >> Yeah. Where would I? Just right over here. That's fine. We come over here. Can you do me a favor and find out? >> Cuz you guys went into the the coach store. That's where you go. >> Yeah, we went to coach. >> The price of the bag and it came back out. >> Okay. That's what we're investigating. >> But she didn't even go in coach. Her friends had no idea about the wrongdoing she had committed and with the evidence provided by the officers, she could no longer deny what she had done. The officers then made their decision. >> I'm [snorts] sorry. >> Well, unfortunately is we're w So I need you to go ahead and set this down for me. Yes, ma'am. I need you to set this down. >> Listen, man. This is It's not It's not up to me. Okay. Go ahead and set this down. I gave her >> You're going to make this You're going to make this a lot worse. Take this off. >> Jesus. Stop. >> Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. But listen. Hey, stop. I'm going up. This is about to get a lot worse. You better stop. >> I have to go. >> You better stop. >> Put your hand on your back. >> Drop it. Drop. Drop it. >> To my friends. >> Listen. Put your hands behind your back. I'm not I'm not playing with you anymore. >> Drop it. Let go of it. She >> She I was playing you already. What did she take, >> Oscar? >> She's already She's already giving back to me. >> He He took my stuff. He took my stuff. >> Please just take my stuff, please. I got all my belongings, my ass. They will take it. They will take it. Calm down. The woman appeared embarrassed to have her friend witness what was happening. She repeatedly asked her friend to take her belongings while even ignoring questions from the officer. >> Where's Where's your bag? Where's the wallet? >> Your phone, right? Nothing else. >> Okay, no problem. Texas 387. >> I'm irritated. Like this is crazy. >> She stole something. You're irritated. >> Yeah, cuz I didn't know. >> Well, now you know. >> Okay. >> I can be irritated. >> You might be. >> I can be irritated. I can be irritated. >> You need to be mistaken. I know my rights, too. >> Okay, good. >> I'm not doing nothing wrong. >> You need to be respected. >> But I know my rights. >> What you want me to do? >> You want me to talk? >> Okay. Bye. >> Straight up that way. >> Can I call my baby father? >> As soon as you get to to the home facility, they'll let you get any phone numbers out. >> What they going to do? Whatever, right? >> The officers separated the suspect from her friend, but she still seemed unwilling to say much about what had happened. So, the officers explained what she would have to face next. >> Okay. So, so what will happen is you go to our home facility. Okay. Come probably tomorrow morning, you will speak to a judge. Okay. The judge will take it tell you from there. Okay. >> So, it the wall is under under $100. So, there's a class B C misdemeanor. It's not >> I can buy the wallet. >> It's too late. We stole the wallet. Okay. >> I can buy the wallet. >> It's the the the um store has already said they want to press charges. Okay. >> I will buy it. >> It doesn't It didn't change the fact you stole Walt, right? It's not yours. Are you >> Yeah, please. She doesn't have a driver's license >> or it's in her bag. So >> So your friends can get your stuff to at your destination. They'll pick your stuff. Yeah. >> You're from Texas. >> Washington. Maryland. >> Where's your driver's license out of? >> Huh? >> Where where's your ID or driver's license out of >> in my >> No. No. Like what state? DC or >> Maryland? >> Maryland. It's out of Maryland. I don't know. >> Oh my god. Can I call him please? >> Once once you get there listen there's nothing you can say or do is going to change this. Okay. >> Nothing can change what's already been decided. The officer told her when she tried to mention that she was pregnant. But she showed little remorse. Continuing to beg and offer to do things that were already too late. >> Please not pay them. I'll go pay them. >> It's too late. It's it's too late. >> I you shouldn't stole the wall. >> Okay. I have to go over. >> No, >> I was on. >> I I appreciate that and I'll put that in the report, but doesn't change the fact that you're still walk. >> So, I I tell you regardless. I mean, I got you on camera. So, >> please go. Please. I have to go home to my daughter and I'm pregnant. Please, I'll pay for it. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm not the one to apologize to. >> Well, can I go talk to him? >> No, ma'am. >> Please, I want to go home. I'm not from here. [laughter] Continuing [laughter] to plead and portray herself as the victim, the woman only made the emotions rise even further as if she was determined to gain the officer's sympathy at any cost. >> Made a choice. Choices have consequences. >> If there's a actually on that card, see if there's a serial number or anything. >> You made a choice. This is your choice. You're an adult. Right. >> Yeah. >> Exactly. So, it's okay. Listen, you just learn your lesson and you'll go on your life. This is not the end of the world. You know what I'm saying? >> It's not nice to be hung up. >> It hurts. >> Okay. He'll hurt. >> Okay. He'll he'll adjust them. Okay. >> I'll adjust this. >> Just like that's an easy fix. You're going to have to go through this. Can I get my Can I at least call my baby father as soon as you get there? >> We got We got to get everything situated. >> I appreciate that. It doesn't change the fact what happened. Okay. I I will put that in the report and the judge will read it and go from there. You tell the judge that too. Okay. >> In the end, the woman was charged with theft of property. Trying to justify your actions after being caught does not erase what happened. Once the evidence is clear, taking responsibility is a better path than making excuses or repeatedly asking for sympathy. What do you think about cases like this? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I'm telling you now. >> You ain't caught me, [ __ ] >> We saw the camera. >> You lying. >> That means I caught you. >> You lying like a >> On the 2nd of November 2023, police received a report of a theft that had occurred at a Family Dollar store. The suspect was also identified as someone who had previously been trespassed from the store. But before meeting the suspect, listen to what the officer had to say because it shows that this situation was even more serious. It's Justin. He dying as hell. You You on >> fine as a mother. You just You just want to come. It's S Johnson. It's S Johnson. You want to see the goddamn police control? >> That's part across the street. >> He said parked across the street. You sure? >> Hey, y'all saw where this lady went, man. Hurry up. Hurry up. >> 21 advised. I'm on the signal five. >> What up? What up? >> How you doing? >> I'm doing good. Yourself? >> Hey, it's going to be um same girl that me and uh me and Willie already dealt with. She understand she's banned. So we just going to go ahead and console. >> I shot through Katie first. Uh I didn't see her. Last time I saw her, she was hanging out um in or around Yamocra. So I'm pretty sure she probably might have caught a ride. Came here and did what she did. took off. Y'all take care. All right. >> So, it turns out the officers were already very familiar with this suspect, meaning they could not simply let her off this time. They then approached her. >> Show me your hands. Go ahead and show me your hands. Go ahead and show me your hands. You're going to get tased. I'm telling you now. Go ahead and show me your hands. Don't do nothing crazy. >> Not do nothing crazy. >> You ain't got to be right there. >> Don't do nothing crazy. You better drop the bag. 21 Bravo one. Can you advise what you need with that call? >> 21 Bravo one. Um, it was a call that Garden City was originally out with >> signal between a semi truck and a number. We call that female officer. >> Yeah, we'll get him. 23 one by two. >> While waiting for the female officer to arrive and search her, the woman continued to react, making even the detention far from easy. >> It's time for a piece of work, man. >> Not if you not supposed to be where you're not supposed to be at. >> Hey, >> hey, watch out. >> Hey, watch out, >> man. Stop playing with me. >> Now you want Hey, let me go. >> Watch out. You better chill out. >> Let me go real quick. Choking me. >> You better chill out. What's up? What's up? What's up? >> Take these off me real quick. Take them off. Come on. Saki show his ass what's up. What's up? Come on, man. >> What's up? >> Number one, they're not coming. Number two, it's just going to be a bad idea for you anyway. So, on a cigarette and we standing right here, >> huh? >> No. Smoke a cigarette. This [ __ ] still made it. Don't don't tell her nothing. >> Oh my expenses. What the [ __ ] is you talking about? >> I tell you something better than me. You don't count it. Got >> you. If you look at it, I bet you don't look at him. Look at him. >> So now we got to get to the DA so you don't get bonded. Do all this other extra stuff. That's what we got to do because for some odd reason you can just do what you want. Somebody else and you're banned. That's the crazy thing. My cigarette since I'm about to go to jail. >> And I don't know how you're going to get mad at us when you keep stealing. >> Like it's my fault. >> My job to catch you stealing IF YOU GO STEAL. YOU AIN'T CAUGHT ME [ __ ] >> We saw the camera. >> You lying. >> That means I caught you. >> You lying like a >> That means I caught you. How do you think we found you? >> After determining the value of the items, police continued working with Family Dollar to decide how to proceed. And even though the store was not particularly interested in pressing charges, there was still one issue the woman could not avoid. So, yeah, the throw is $20 and then the gloves 125. I'll pay for those, but the rest of the stuff has to go back though. I'll bring back to y'all. Is that cool? >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. Um, >> you got the jug. >> No, I didn't get the pipe that he uh was talking about. She had >> the back. >> This right here, >> this is her personal bag. She has Popeyes. So, obviously that got to go in the trash, but she can't go in the property. >> Um, >> I'm on the phone with them right now. So, with uh Family Dollar. So, they aren't really they aren't inclined on pressing charge. But the thing is criminal trespass cuz she's banned. Um, and obviously the crack lady. >> We need we need to get the shoplifting on here because a chronic pain. So they I'm not trying to force them to, but we >> No, no, no. She I didn't say they wasn't doing it. I'm just letting you know. Yeah. So the bag as far as uh I got to go through this. >> All right, ma'am. I'm going to be back down there in a sec. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> In the end, the woman was charged with criminal trespass and theft by shoplifting. Being banned from a store means returning can create additional legal consequences, especially when another theft is involved. Repeatedly ignoring those restrictions can turn a simple shoplifting incident into a more serious situation. >> Me and Kendrick both know this isn't a really hard fine. >> Hold on. People do things, you know, we all make errors in judgment. We all make mistakes. >> Yes, sir. >> So, just hold your On the 29th of July 2025, police received a report from a man who said he had lost a wallet containing $1,800 at a Dollar General store, but [snorts] it was never found, even though employees said they had tried to look for it. Strangely, the cameras were also reportedly not working. When officers arrived the next day, the wallet was actually found inside the store's bottom safe. Um the top safe everybody has not everybody but the assistant managers and myself have access to >> Mhm. >> So we're going in the bottom safe right? >> Mhm. >> The top safe don't have a timer on it. >> Why are they two different timers on >> that? I don't have an answer for. >> I mean it gives us 10 minutes to get here. If somebody tries to rob them >> if they ain't going to get the money they might get the safe. They can have the whole store. >> There it is. >> There it is. >> All right. >> Don't do this. >> Sorry. >> Can we walk back here in your office and talk to you for a minute? >> I'm going to buy a drink real quick. You need anything else? >> Is he good? >> Yeah. I was trying to think. >> No wallet was found in the safe. So, what was the explanation behind her earlier claim about its location? In her office, she had a different story. Was this a new story she had just come up with? Well, >> let me let me start out. I've been I've been working this job for 30 years. >> Yes, sir. Where's the wallet? I want I listen straight up. We can get get that wallet back to that lady and we might we might come out of this. But that's >> I'm just going to be honest with you. >> Just that's all I wanted to be honest with you know, um, me and Kendrick, both of us is in a really hard time find, >> hold on. People do things, you know, we all make errors in judgment. We all make mistakes. >> Yes, sir. >> So, hold just hold your thoughts. You get a Miranda card. Miranda real quick, okay? That way, we're just covered. >> It doesn't mean you're going to jail. >> No, nobody has filed any criminal charges at this point. Okay. >> Yeah, >> the lady is missing some money. And you you know what I'm talking about. >> I do. >> So, let's get this out of the way. >> I apologize. >> Hey. Hey, let's let's do this part. >> People listen, hold on just a sec. People sometimes we don't know what's going on in your life. We don't know. You know, some people get so bogged down, they resort to whatever. Me and her, we've made a lot of mistakes. We make errors in judgment. >> Yes, sir. >> But there's consequences. >> She suddenly brought up her personal circumstances as if trying to gain the officer's sympathy before telling the truth. But look at her computer screen. They had actually lied earlier about the cameras not working. At this point, she began admitting what happened, including the involvement of another man. >> So, you want to talk to us about this? >> Not that kind of person. I know. >> Let me ask you some questions. >> Yes, sir. >> Who's the Who's the boy? Michael. He come and handed you the wallet. >> Mhm. >> So, it's you're see we already figured this out. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Rocket bum to sit here and try to go, >> right? >> So, he handed you the wallet. What did you do with the wallet at that time? >> I remember I handed it to Kendrick and then I told him to put it in the bottom safe. >> Okay. >> And that's what he he took it to see the ID and then he put it in the bottom safe. >> So who took who took the wallet out of the safe? >> Me and I did. I mean code. >> I know what was in the wallet. I want you to tell me what was in the wallet. >> Yeah. What was in the wallet? I don't know the exact amount. >> But >> but there was quite a bit. >> How much? Again >> an estimate. >> 1,500. >> Okay. >> And you're and you're close. I'm not going to tell you the exact amount, but you're you're close. Who knows? >> So, so when you took the when you took the wallet back out of the safe, what did you do with it? >> I mean, could we come back here? >> Where's the wallet out right now? >> I didn't throw it away. >> Where's it at? >> Where I'm staying at? >> Where's that? >> Gateway. >> Can we go recover that wallet now to get back to talk to the victim about what's going on? >> And and I'm willing to pay whatever. >> We don't want you to make any phone calls. >> No. Well, I got to call make sure the girl's there so I can get in the get in the apartment. >> Okay, well talking first and then we'll call somebody. Um, so what what did you do with the money? >> I'm not living anywhere. I'm staying here and there. >> We understand. >> Times are hard. We understand housing is very expensive. >> We are not judging you for anything that you found out. >> Yeah, but I'm >> You will You judge yourself real hard, but we are not. We're not. >> Yeah. >> People do People do things like this. People do That's We deal with this all the time. That's what I was just telling you a minute ago. I've been here 30 years. Me and her both knew what exactly what took place and and we even knew he was going to be involved in it. >> Yeah. >> After cooperating and admitting to her wrongdoing, she then went with the officers to her residence as that was where the officers could find the wallet she had actually hidden. >> Come in. >> I want to talk to y'all outside. I don't let I don't let everybody in. >> That's okay. Can I can I just keep on? Yeah, we were coming something for us. >> Oh, okay. That's cool. Yeah, my cat's in my bedroom, so it's all right. >> How are y'all doing? Is it raining? >> Not yet. It's about It's hot out there, too.

Y'all good? >> I call me here shortly. >> Thank you. >> Oh, okay. All right. >> All right. >> Huh? >> I dropped y'all some Cinnabon buns. >> They didn't tell me. >> Well, they're behind the counter. >> Okay. Go back. >> And I still have the coins. Yeah, that's her. >> Where is all the money? The money's gone. >> You y'all spent the money? >> I know.

Did >> you Did you get 60? >> I think I got $900. >> 900? >> Maybe a,000 a month. >> How much did he get? >> I don't know. >> Whatever was left from the >> The next day, police returned with arrest warrants in hand. This time, both Wendy, the manager, and the others involved were on the scene, all in handcuffs. >> Where's Miss Wendy at? >> Kendrick, put your hands behind your back. >> What? >> Cuz I told you to put your hands behind your back. >> Got a warrant for your arrest. Come with me. Hey, >> let me come here. Come on. We ain't going to do it in here. Yeah. Come with me. >> Come here just a second. Let me talk to you just a second. over here.

All right. >> We can walk you out, not have you in handcuffs. But is there anything else you need out of her? Sure. Get the video from >> The man was identified as Kendrick, who was also an assistant manager. According to surveillance footage obtained by the officers after serving a customer, the woman found the wallet that had been dropped and handed it to Kendrick. He then saw a large amount of cash inside the wallet, after which Wendy took the initiative and told him to place it in the bottom safe, which could only be accessed by management. With all of this seemingly impossible to deny, the man was still trying to appear innocent. >> That's why I want you to be honest with me cuz I don't want to start cuz these bad days. >> I understand that and that's why I want to get your side of this thing and cuz she has the manager has spilled her guts and you are part of it. But let me let me read you this before I can talk to you. Okay. It's Miranda and you've heard this before. >> I know about it. >> I store this verse. Let me be honest with you.

I want you to swear and affirm everything you're going to tell be the truth. Me up your God. >> I play this on my kids. Everything going on is truth. >> Okay. But I brought you down here cuz I want to get your side of it because she's told her side of it and she's everything she's told us corroborates with a video. I don't want you to tell me something and I already know what the video show was cuz video don't lie, does it? I mean it tells video tells the truth. >> I got to work about 5. >> Okay. >> So what happened was I called I told him I'm running a little late cuz I had my kids. Mikey came over with a w. >> Yeah, I know Mikey. He's on the video. >> Hold up. Mikey come with a wallet. So she hand me the first thing I do. I'm searching seeking out find identity so I can search them on Facebook. So after that, I can't find nothing. So what I do, I get ready to put it in the safe. >> So you couldn't find any identification or anything in the wallet? >> I couldn't. I couldn't. But um so what happened was I was putting in the safe. >> Okay. >> She was like, don't put it right there. I like what where part? She like, put it at the bottom part. Right. The bottom part. I ain't know nothing about that. He was trying to put all the blame on Wendy, showing no intention of taking responsibility and seemingly feeling no shame about lying, prompting the officers to warn him about the evidence they had. >> How much cash did you receive out of that money? >> Not nothing. >> Come on. >> I put this on my soul. >> You want to be You want to be the truth? I You know, >> you might talk to that wall right there besides talking to me cuz I know I know better. [screaming] Tell every truth. I I do not believe you sitting right here at eye. You're not telling me the truth. >> You're not telling me the truth. >> I want you to be truthful. Sometimes admitting to what you did goes a long ways. And I don't have I don't have I didn't I could have told them to just take you straight to jail, not not even come down here to to give you a chance. And if you if you don't want this chance to talk to me about this, then we can get up and go ahead and leave. Mr. >> Yeah. I'm at the point in my life now I want you to hear me. Okay. >> I want you to be I want man to man. >> Man to man. >> I'm at a point in my life I probably made some mistakes at life. >> Yeah. >> But if I give somebody my word my word is and I'm being truthful with you. >> It's not how do you think we've manipulated video? >> No, I did say that. >> I mean I mean explain I mean explain that. I mean, I I don't know how to explain it to tell you that that video is all in that store and even going down there when the store's closed or everything. If y'all go back in that store, video is going to pick it up. That that video is not shut off. Want to be truthful? We going to sit here for a minute. If not, there's no sense in us sitting here. You got things, you know, my kid. >> I understand you got kids. Kendrick and Wendy were both charged with grand theft for the theft of the customer's wallet and money. >> Huh? >> Okay. Are you his mother? Yes. >> Okay. There's like a shoplifting group. Is everybody Everybody. >> On the 7th of August 2025, police received a call from a J C Penney store regarding a group of suspects who had committed shoplifting there. This was what happened when police attempted to approach one of the suspects. >> Hold on one two more. Come on around the corner. >> You have your ID on you, ma'am. >> I didn't have that stuff you had in your home. >> Okay. So, >> I just show you. >> And you had this fashion jewelry as well. >> I had one of them. I mean, I'll give it to you. Yes, ma'am. >> Come on. Can you put your phone down? >> Say I asked you a question. You put your phone down. >> You have your ID on you? >> He don't have no ID. He claim he's a minor, which doesn't matter. At this point, he would be prosecuted as well. They all in hoop. Oh, >> are one of you ladies his mother, ma'am? >> Huh? >> Okay. Are you his mother? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. >> You have your ID as well? No. >> I got your ID back to you. Well, you could do that after we handle >> guys. You could see that each individual appeared with a phone pressed to their ear. Whether this was an organized shoplifting operation behind it or not at the loss prevention office, they showed no sign of remorse at all. >> All you guys are together is all together. And there's like a shoplifting group is everybody. Everybody want to reach out for something. I ain't even trying to get >> y'all were all together. No, >> what she was doing and I want to say >> I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about what I had on me. >> I had on that one ring in my hand >> with my purse. >> No, no, no, no, no. I had one ring. And >> you're trying to say he took it off the shelf himself. >> No, I ain't saying that. >> So where did he take it from? >> I don't know. He get from off the off the table when I put it on the table. >> Yeah, when you put on the table. >> Yeah, but I only had the shirt. Go ahead. Just go ahead. Just go ahead. >> I ain't trying to go home like my stuff. Ain't >> that serious? >> Nasty. >> I'm not being nasty. >> I'm just saying I've been to all y'all. >> I know. I know. >> You want to be honest? I've been respectful to all y'all. I got that gratitude back. >> Yeah. Yeah. You didn't I ain't got no I give you my name and what? That was it. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I ain't got no reason to love y'all. Their attitude showed as if they deserved to be treated better, which was a complete lack of shame. Even what do you think when even the police confirmed that this was not their first time? >> Have you guys been banned from here before? >> About 5 years ago. >> Was it a permanent ban? >> No. Y'all still could come to the mall? I don't know. It was like five five years ago. >> What they what they banging for? >> I think Miss Charlotte. >> What store was it? >> It wasn't J. Penney, was it? I'm not sure. Been a little else. >> Okay. How many times can you on the signal 91? >> Not long. How many? >> Not that many times. Yeah. >> About two. About two times, >> you know. >> Two, three times. I've been somewhere. >> Georgia is three strikes. >> It's an automatic felony. >> Yeah. >> You have to work it out when that time come. All I can >> Y was y'all boosters or y'all like >> No, it just that me her heard and was just sitting out talking. >> Yeah. >> And that's the first ride to the to the mall and we had school even come here. We had school went to the shoe show. >> Yeah. >> They going to jail for >> probably. I didn't get the amount yet, but they are prosecuting. Thing is is that they had the 17 year old or I think he's 17. He's going to 08 with him. >> Yeah. So, two adult females and a 17-year-old all like shoplifting together. >> If you think that the fact their 17-year-old son would make the situation a bit harder to handle, the police also looked into it and quickly got an answer on how to deal with it. >> The thing is is that with the juvenile, you have to call that in to see what they're willing to take. >> No, he don't go to RDC. He go to big boy jail. >> Oh, even for that? Oh, >> banned in January of 2020. >> Yeah, they just came back and said that she's good. I think they said it was a three-year ban. >> Oh, yeah. >> You go to big boy jail. Like we told that person that there's three. You turn 17 for certain laws. You go to big boy jail. This is one of them. >> Okay. >> Does she have a prior record? >> Well, one of them do. She said she's already been coming twice for shoplifting. >> So when she landed that last time in 2020, the amount was 800 and some odd dollars. >> So I wonder how much this one is. >> So everything was clear, including their prior criminal record. At this point, the handcuffing was definitely unavoidable for them along with the so-called walk of shame. >> All right. Right. Put your hands together like you're praying. Whichever way is more comfortable. >> I had surgery on your arm. >> Okay. Have a seat. Be careful. I don't want you to fall. I trying to get in. Okay. >> So, we are the judges. >> Yes, ma'am. Right. Hang tight. Ma'am, stand up. >> 45 seat belt. I'm going get this right. >> You got more cups. >> Why you do that? >> You can search for me. >> Get a photo of me. >> Wait, sir. Stand up. >> Yeah, I got >> phone. Your hands behind your back. All parties were charged with felony shoplifting with two individuals additionally charged with party to a crime. [music] Attempting to act entitled or showing no accountability during an investigation only escalates the situation, leading to more severe legal consequences rather than leniency. >> I'm up for sin. See, I don't talk like that. Stop zooting me. >> Okay. >> YOU DOING THAT TO YOURSELF. >> HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK NOW. On the 22nd of July 2026, deputies were dispatched to a Duncan after receiving a report about a woman who had shown up despite previously being banned from the store. Deputies tried to convince the woman to leave. >> No, I just forgot to get the Oreo donut. >> Do you have your ID on you right now? >> He's getting the donut. Okay, >> that's his job. >> It is his job. >> You said you were waiting outside for me. >> I understand that. But now I'm asking you to leave. >> But it's my prescription. You understand that? That is a massacre, right? >> Okay. Let's wait outside for the donut. >> I have to pay for it. [snorts] >> He's not getting the donut. >> He doesn't work for cash registry. >> He's getting the donut. >> Leave it alone, ma'am. That's on your conscience. You're killing somebody. >> You look like that. >> Thank you. Listen, >> don't worry about Don't worry about Milani. >> She got >> Okay. You need to go all the way off the property. Okay. >> That's why you're dead. >> Okay. >> See y'all. >> All right. Off the property, ma'am. >> All the way off the property. to all y'all. >> Come here. What's your name? >> I'm leaving there. Leave it alone. >> I'm making sure you get off the property. Slow down. >> Stop following me. >> I am following you off the property. Once you're off the property, we'll be fine. >> The deputies followed her to make sure she actually left the property, but that seemed to upset the woman. She even began making unreasonable accusations. >> You're impersonating an officer. >> No, not at all. >> Leave me alone. I'm leaving. Okay. You're the one who voted you to go back in there. I didn't mean to do >> I didn't know they wanted you to leave. >> You do witchcraft. I'm Christian. I'm a Christian. See, I don't talk like that. Stop zooting me >> to help Trump. He died. He died. He never became president. He's a loser. >> Okay, keep walking. >> Obama and Biden killed me to ask questions. Ma'am, stop following me. >> I'm doing my job, ma'am. >> Ma'am, I'm a teacher. We do not sin. Leave me alone. >> Okay. >> Stop following me. >> You guys are the ones who made me go there. >> Stop. >> A backup officer's vehicle was brought in to stop the woman after they noticed that she did not appear fully alert, raising concerns that she might not be able to walk safely. But that was also when she began making the situation escalate. >> LEAVE ME ALONE. YOU DID THAT. YOU TOO WITCHCRAFT. You guys do witchcraft. >> Put your bag down, PLEASE. >> WHY WOULD I DROP MY FOOD DOWN? That's a massacre. >> Put your bag down. See, you guys have to Don't touch me. >> Put it down. >> Don't touch me. I'm not putting my food down. You guys see that? Why are you tackling ME? I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HER NOW. TASER. YOU'RE DOING THAT TO YOURSELF. >> YOU'RE DOING THAT TO YOURSELF. >> Hands behind YOUR BACK NOW. Hands behind your back. >> I didn't do anything. I'm being I'm being okay. >> Yeah. I'm just going to be late for my vendor. >> I got it. Alpha 32 >> 444. >> All right, let me call my lieutenant. The woman's coffee ended up being spilled. But strangely enough, after everything that happened, her attitude suddenly changed. She became quiet yet still refused to cooperate. >> What is your name, dear? >> That's all you had to tell me. >> See, the own business manager said that she'd already been trespassed, but she wouldn't give me anything to confirm. I was just going to use the control, so I'm going to be late. I am wanting to get my coffee. Yeah, I'm fine. Sh out of breath. We just tossed and taser. >> So, but >> Kyle's going to be at headquarters waiting for our >> Okay, perfect. I'll be there when I can. I need to go change my clothes. coffee. >> I walked in to get my coffee and she some lady in there was trying to get her out and she walked out and then turned around back in and then after she walked back in the other lady's like they said she's been trespassed. They didn't want her in there so I was trying to get her out. I still just wish we would have met under better circumstances. That's >> it. Wasn't me you met ma'am. >> Okay. >> The person you have a problem with did it through me. >> Well that I'm glad I'm getting to meet you. alibi there. >> She appeared [snorts] much calmer now, but the woman still seemed unwilling to accept what had happened. She even bluntly refused the officer's help. >> I don't need help. >> Sir, I don't need help. That's great. >> I'm going to help you. >> I need to get up by myself, two handcuff. And I play all sports. I rock climb. >> I don't need help getting up because of handcuffs. We're going to go into here. Okay. >> Do we have a chance to come along? >> Actually, I'm so sorry. Can you step out for me? >> Let's We want to just uh double more comfortable for you. >> No, they're fine. >> Yeah, but >> we have to lock this so they don't >> Yeah, we got to lock. >> No, they're going to get tighter if we don't push the button on there. >> Yeah, there's a bone. We we need lock on there. >> She was charged with resisting an officer without violence and trespassing. She later pleaded guilty to both charges with sentencing to be decided at a later hearing. Refusing to leave private property after being told to do so can quickly turn a simple situation into a much more serious one. Cooperating with officers could help prevent the situation from escalating further. >> Oh, I know you. What's up? >> You, too. No, you know my last name. You know my full name. >> You know my last name. I know who I am. I actually >> On the 6th of July 2024, officers responded to a Macy's after receiving a report of two teenagers suspected of shoplifting who had been detained in the store's loss prevention office. But the trouble didn't stop there as officers also discovered another offense. Do you just want to do the digital statement form? I give the axe only for my >> new. >> Oh, I know you. >> I know you, too. >> So, probably better than yours. >> Just probably >> at this point, just letting you guys know you are under arrest for theft three. Um, it sounds like you guys also had a bottle of vodka with you. So, it's miners in possession. >> Which one are you? >> How cute. [clears throat] >> No. Which one are you? >> I don't even know to be honest. >> You just give me the first name. I forgot. [laughter] >> Okay. What's your first name? >> No, I don't know. >> Ella, you want to open the safe and give them that? >> My name's Ella. >> What's your last name? Ella. >> Johnson. >> Is that your actual name? >> No. >> Okay. Can you give me your real name? >> No. Okay. Can you just tell me when am I going to go to jail? >> I don't know at this point. Just based off your history. normally just with the three charges just call parents release you to the parents. Again, you guys are in contact with the police frequently. So, I don't know exactly who I am, though. >> I'm aware of who you're hanging out with. >> I don't know. I don't know. >> So, so here's the deal. If you guys don't want to give me your name, that's going to be an additional charge. >> Okay. >> We'll go down to the department. >> You'll be identified. >> Okay. I'm [clears throat] not going to This is my real name. Okay. >> It seemed neither of them felt guilty as they both appeared to know that their age meant they would not face the same legal consequences. Worse, one of them acted as if she was already far too familiar with situations like this. >> One thing at a time. >> Just need you to pay attention and listen. All right. >> Just need you to pay attention and listen. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right at this time to talk to a lawyer and have them present with you or being questioned. >> If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before question if you at any time >> to exercise these rights. Not answer any questions or make any statements. Okay. >> And actually, I do actually have to. >> Since you're a juvenile, anything you say can be used against you in a juvenile court prosecution for a juvenile offense. It can also be used against you an adult court criminal prosecution if you're tried as adult. Do you understand? >> Do you understand? You're right. >> Yeah. Wait, so as an adult? No, I don't understand. >> Do you understand your rights? Do you want me to reread them, too? >> The whole thing. >> I just heard the whole thing, by the way. >> I know. I just heard the whole thing. The cops always just tell >> Do you understand your rights? >> Yes, I do understand my rights. Trust me, I've been through this before. >> Do you know who I am? >> Wait, are you guys taking your money? >> It's my wallet. I have a wallet. >> Are you going to stay seated? >> Huh? >> Are you going to stay seated like or do I need to put >> Take them? Do I need to put you back in a handcuffs or stay where you're at? >> Yeah, you can take off. >> The officers then delivered the consequences they had to face, but they still seem to show little concern >> as a felony. Is trespassing a felony or misdemeanor? >> Mr. Morris, Officer Morris, what's up? >> Is trespassing a felony or a misdemeanor? >> So, if you trespass, there's trespass one, trespass 2. That's basically being on the property versus in a building. And then if you commit a crime if you commit a crime while you're trespassing that's burglary which is fine. >> How what was the total? >> 805. >> Yeah. >> I don't see any PC theft too. >> You have a question? >> No. >> How much was it? >> Total theft. How much is the tongue? >> 805 something like that. >> This is it for >> it is being trespass for 3 years. So this year you said >> July 624 July 6th 2027 that includes AMC and everything. >> What level? With the total value of the merchandise reaching around $800, officers had to document the case and take their photos. But apparently getting a clear picture was difficult when they were not exactly willing to cooperate. >> No, I don't want picture. >> I have to you need to show him your face cuz you're trespassing the mall picture. Jesus. >> Excuse me. If we're going to play that, then this is going to go a whole lot more. You might as well just take a picture. How would you call me? Why about that? >> Cuz you're a cop. Like >> I call You don't have to be like that. >> Okay. Well, that's not respectful of you, right? >> This is [laughter] respectful either. Take out my respectful. >> No. Why would you take out your cuts? You're under arrest. >> That's not fair. >> Well, that's not okay. >> I was borrowing it. [laughter] >> No, I see. >> I was going to go out the vehicle. So, I'm placing you back into handcuff. Just stand up for me. Can you stand up? >> I can't. >> Okay, stand up. >> Stand up. >> I can't go that far. >> Please don't. No, I was going to do it this way. >> You're standing up. >> Stop. Do you want to get a resisting arrest charge? Then stand up. >> Oh my god. Cop. >> Oh god. >> Stay where you're at. >> Yes. I'm not like What can I do? Take your hand out and just leave it behind your back. Okay. >> Both teenagers were charged with felony retail theft and possession of alcohol by a minor. Treating a serious situation like a joke can only make things worse. Cooperating with officers is a much better choice than wasting their time or creating additional problems.
