Like that's why you don't see like a lot of stuff or whatever, but it I did have a good amount of stuff where I went through the scan and I should have just went through the, you know, the regular line trying to put the stuff, you know, going to myself and stuff like that, but nothing intentional. >> The woman denied all actions considered wrongful, but the police reviewed the surveillance footage and everything proved otherwise. >> That's a bunch of stuff up on the side. >> Mhm.

This is my Walmart. >> The woman tried to portray herself as a good person and the police listened, but based on what they witnessed, they could not overlook the crime she committed. So, as I saw, you did you missed items and then proceeded to leave the store, which people I think a lot of people think stealing is the instant you leave the front doors, it's stealing, but it's technically the last point of sale, >> which if I remember correctly, it's right after the registers. So, at that point, if it's not scanning, you're walking out with it. >> Well, I wouldn't know. I ain't never stole a [laughter] It is still stealing at this point. So, I'm going to wait till he gets back with the training receipt and we'll go from there. But >> I wanted to get this stuff.

I don't I think we're kind of past that. >> Oh, that's fine. >> Yeah. >> He scared me. I said, "No, I see too much Tik Tok. What happened? What happened?" >> That's all I watch is Tik Tok. >> Nothing's going to get crazy in here.

So, I'm going to give you this. So, you are being charged with retail theft. >> Okay. >> What does that mean? >> So, you're going to have to go to court. >> Yep. Do you got to go to court on February 3rd, 2025, 9:00 a.m. in Pin? Do you know where the Tazwell County Courthouse is? You do or you don't. Okay. So, it's in Pin. If you Google it, Taswell County Courthouse, you should be able to find that address pretty easily. >> I want to say it's all capital. >> Other than that, does that make sense as far as the court date? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Do you have any questions regarding that or anything else? >> That's pretty close to it. That's the circuit clerk, but it's going to be right next to the courthouse, I would imagine. So, do you have any questions for me or anybody else or anything like that? Okay. Other than that, are you guys done speaking with it? Okay. Other than that, you guys are free. You're free to go.

So, >> does she need her receipt? >> There you are. All right. Have a better day, ma'am. >> Finally, the woman was charged with retail theft.

Get on your stomach. >> I got a heart. >> Get on your stomach. >> On February 8th in Ohio, police received a report of a theft that had occurred.

All the stores, Walmart, Walgreens, nobody would never stand. >> So sometimes though and and and I and I fought them. Sometimes we don't get the paper to go to court and then when we do get it, it's a couple of days later after the court hearing that doesn't pass by. >> Oh, okay. >> So that that's that's the problem. We don't sometimes the subpoena we don't get it. If they don't hand deliver a subpoena here, we don't get this.

Pushes it through. University. >> On February 1st, 2025, police received a call from Walmart after a shoplifting incident was reported at the store.

Do you want to clear out the area or >> your choice? We will leave it completely up to you. Where are you more comfortable? >> Cuz my my worry is that if she starts, you know, fly, going to hit somebody else. >> So, if we could just kind of clear the first four roads, the first four, and then maybe the couple behind in case you like flings something back.

Get on the ground. I ain't doing nothing though. >> That's what I'm saying. Cuz I was drinking. Put your arms behind your back. >> I didn't do nothing though. >> I didn't do nothing.

I don't want to tell them. >> They'd be embarrassed. >> Well, you should have saw your parents before you started. >> I messed up. I know. My aunt's an NYPD officer. So, if you didn't extend any courtesy for me, it just got taken me to jail. >> The woman was easily identified by police as part of an organized retail theft ring, making her sobbing nothing more than a calculated attempt to beg for mercy.

And by this point, it was clear nothing was going to change. >> Okay. So, we're going to refund the items that you paid for. So, they're going to take care of that. >> Can I keep the items or No, >> I mean, you're going to jail. You're not going to be allowed to have them there >> cuz I just like put them in my car key cuz I'll take my car key with me. >> When you take it, it's what you actually pay for. >> Yeah.

I'm sure it's not because you're black. >> No, because I'm black. >> I don't think so. >> I don't think you've been very truthful with me. >> Okay. >> On May 9th, 2024, authorities received a report from a bank about a woman suspected of committing transaction fraud.

So >> do you have an ID with you? >> Contact with investigation. Do you want to say with the color? >> Do you have a Florida? >> No. >> ID or no? >> No. >> Okay. Are you from Texas or >> Did you live Florida? >> No, I stayed in Texas. >> Stay in Texas. >> Yeah. >> The woman appeared visibly shaken by what was unfolding. Yet, her questions revealed she had already anticipated the trouble ahead and feared what fate awaited her. >> I don't know exactly what's going on. >> Yeah, I told once the unit comes here, I'll let you know.

Did the tele call you guys? >> Mhm. >> For what? >> That's what we're trying to figure out. >> Her attitude gradually shifted. Perhaps she found the situation ridiculous. Or perhaps there was another meaning behind that reaction altogether. >> Oh, because I'm black. You >> sure it's not because you're black? >> No, because I'm black. >> I don't think so.
