Running from police and resisting arrest only made the situation worse. Staying calm and taking responsibility could have prevented additional legal consequences. Next, this man even stole lap dances. >> He's not paying anything. At best, he'll give her $50. She was like, "No." >> He's probably going to be pretty embarrassed tomorrow, man. He's going to be so embarrassed. >> On the 6th of March, 2026, police received a call from a strip club about a man who refused to pay after using their services. To better understand what happened, listen to the club manager's statement. >> Can somebody ask Nelson how much this guy owes? I need an exact total. 14 people. What? What? What? 650. >> All right. >> All right. So, the gentleman came >> Hello. How are you? >> It's like, we all know each other here. >> I've never been here. >> Welcome. Hi, welcome.

I Okay, and then he goes, "But don't trespass me." [ __ ] off. You actually don't get to make that determination. >> What do you want to do? >> I want him to pay, cuz that girl deserves her money. Um and if he doesn't want to pay, if he doesn't want to pay, then he's he's getting trespassed, and you guys What do you joking want to do? >> to you don't want to trespass nothing. >> Um I mean it Let's start with if he pays. >> So, the club still gave him a chance to pay, but when officers approached him, he appeared to deny everything. >> So, we can actually talk to you.

Yet, whenever officers spoke to him, he remained completely calm and managed to dodge their questions. >> Listen, you don't want to listen? Are you going to pay your tab then? Since you don't want to listen, are you going to pay the tab? >> I don't understand what you're doing. >> Because this is what's going to happen. If you don't pay your tab, you're going to go to jail. It's that simple. You're going to go You're going to get trespassed and you're going to jail. >> Um >> If you're saying no, no, no, no, you don't want to cooperate, then you're kind of forcing my hand here. >> No, I want to cooperate. >> Okay, man.

There. She's typing now. >> That she would have to type a code for every one? >> No. >> Is it a uh camera of the the keyboard by any chance? >> Right there. >> How many prompts is there in reference to um >> That I don't know.

And then she admit, "Yeah." And then I said, "How'd you do it? What What did you change?" And that's when she told me I was using a code. I said, "So walk me through it." And then she said, "Why do you want me to walk you through it?" >> him all this in your tape statement, right? All this came out in your tape statement? >> No, not that. >> Well, you can just go ahead and put a mark that now. >> Yeah, go ahead and mark it. >> It's more for us. >> Yeah, no problem. >> So go ahead. She said >> So I told her I I asked her "Why were you doing it?" And she didn't want to talk, and I said, "I know you moved from Pahokee down here with your baby. You're by yourself. I know you're struggling." And she nodded her head yes. I said, "So, tell me how did you process it through the self-checkout?" I And she said she used the number. I said, "What number did you use?" And she said there was a number posted on the wall that I was using. I said, "So, walk me through the procedure." And she said, "Why do I have to walk you through it? I don't want to talk anymore." And And I said, "I'm going to call my ride. I want to leave." I said, "Well, I can't hold you." And that's when she stood up and left. >> So, do we know where she lives at? Does she have an actual address there? >> That's the address she gave me. >> And once again, paperwork's the same for me. It doesn't really matter, right? You're going to upload everything, whatever.

The case shows how abusing employee access can turn a seemingly simple system manipulation into a serious theft charge.

I just put the baby in the car, please? >> I have a female on the passenger side of my >> Whose baby is this baby? >> Is that the mother of the four year old female? >> Her behavior did not exactly show her acting like a responsible mother, so the officers, growing suspicious, tried to determine who the child's mother was. >> So who's the mother of the baby? >> What do you mean? >> The mother Are you the mother? >> No. >> Who's the mother? >> I just know her name is I don't even know her whole name. >> Okay. >> Do I know who the baby is?

Who's the mother? >> Vanessa. >> Vanessa what's her last name? >> I don't know her real name. >> Is she here with you today? >> Yeah. >> So she admitted that another woman was also involved, and that woman was the child's mother.

Can I get off my stomach? >> As soon as you got handcuffs on. >> Please, sir, I'm going to get in big trouble. >> Well, you shouldn't have stole. >> Okay, I will give it back. >> I don't care. >> I will give it back. >> That's not how it works. >> Okay. >> Now give me your arm. >> Okay.

Sunglasses off both of them. >> No, I didn't. >> stay back here. >> I'm just trying to make sure the baby's okay. >> It's fine. Back with the mother, she tried to portray herself as helpless, admitting to the crime as a way of pleading with the officers and attempting to take all the blame for herself. Stay right there. No. Stop talking. Stop talking. You're under arrest, right? Listen to me. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

That's a sensor, right? >> That's not Yeah, it's a sensor. >> No, they take that So, you did take that. All the recovered merchandise served as undeniable evidence and the items came from multiple different stores. The officers then proceeded to return the merchandise to the respective stores. >> What's up, man? We got both of them. >> What do you expect? >> Yeah, the one was stupid enough to come back in. I don't think these sunglasses are in here. >> No, they're >> No, cuz one of them had >> Uh >> I was upset this one was exactly here.

That's That's a big one there. >> A lot of bags back here. Oh. That was open. >> Yeah. So >> There we go. >> I'm just going to go through these uh stuff in the bottom of the bag here. >> They also found drugs in the baby's stroller, so the officers gave the mother a chance to be honest, but it seems she failed to take advantage of it. >> Are Do on drugs or anything? Do you do drugs? >> Yeah. What do you do? >> Um >> do Um just do I smoke weed. >> You don't do heroin, you don't do all that stuff, crack? Does your friend do that? >> No. >> Okay.

I was holding him with the car seat. And then And then I was inside, right? And then I came and then I said I'm going to come back. And then here and then then this happened. >> Both women were charged with theft by unlawful taking after causing a total loss of more than $12,000 in merchandise. The younger woman also admitted to hiding cocaine in the baby's diaper while the case remained pending. No matter who they were or what circumstances they faced, [music] their choices had consequences. Stealing and involving a child only made the situation far more serious, ultimately leaving both women to face the consequences of their actions. Next, this is reason why you don't give a false name to the police. >> You're under arrest for making a false statement to a law enforcement officer. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> I I probably >> Is this your phone? >> No, that's a friend's phone. >> Friend's phone. >> On the 7th of November, 2022, police approached a young man and woman after suspecting they were connected to a hit-and-run with unknown injuries. But, the situation soon turned into an investigation that uncovered several hidden details. First, here's what happened. Aren't you guys just park your bikes here for a second, okay? >> For what? >> I'm in doing an investigation right now. You're not free to leave. Okay? You want to sit down on the curb for me? >> Sure. >> Okay? >> What if we don't want >> Why don't we That's fine. Let's just sit down on the curb for now. >> What is this for? That? >> What? >> That that that blue thing? >> Well, maybe. You know anything about that? >> No, we were just We were sitting over there. I was fixing her bike. And all I hear is boom. >> Yeah, I was waiting for my friend who was in the kitchen heating up my sandwich and I was standing there and I was going on my phone looking at Wi-Fi and all we heard was boom and then like a big >> So, you're You're over here by mitigation, you said? >> Yeah, we were standing outside >> Okay. >> in front of that truck. >> You guys don't have any injuries or anything from a motor or an accident that you be aware of? >> No, we weren't We weren't even near there. >> You didn't even see it? >> No, we just heard it. It sounded like really [ __ ] realistic. >> Okay. You mind if I at least grab you guys' names? >> Yeah, uh Jenna. >> The woman spoke on behalf of both of them and denied that they had anything to do with the incident. But, to make sure, the officers [music] still proceeded to collect their information. Ma'am? >> Jenna. >> Say it again? >> Jenna. >> How do you spell that? >> J E N N A. >> Is that Is that your full name? Or like on your license? >> Sorry. No, I don't have I don't have >> Is Is Jenna Is that abbreviated for anything? >> No, it's just Jenna. >> No. And then, middle initial? >> N. >> And the last name? >> Rogers. >> R O G E R S And the date of birth? >> August 31st, 2003. >> August 31st? >> Yes. >> 04? >> 2003. >> 03. Okay. All right, just hang tight for me, okay? >> Is everybody okay? >> Well, we don't know yet cuz there's no one in the car. And the reason I stopped you guys is the witness that saw it happen saw two people run away. And when it was a male and female with a red jacket. So. >> There was somebody who went who heard it and got on her bike. She came out of mitigation, she got on her bike and she went over there and you could hear her screaming or yelling, "Are you okay? Are you okay?" >> Yeah, we talked to her and she was the one that told us that two people had ran away that kind of matched your description. So, that's why I stopped you guys, okay? >> Okay. >> All right, hang tight for me, okay? >> All right. >> Ready to go? 17 142. >> I'm good, sir. >> Last name Rogers, Robert Ocean. >> know. >> Okay. Um, the two individuals, would you be willing to do a show up to see and identify them? >> I didn't get like a a look at them. >> You didn't see the see who left the car at all? >> I'm so night blind like I mean See where he's at? >> Yeah. >> I can't even tell you what he looks like. >> Well, no. I mean their clothing clothing. Like would you be able to identify two people if if they if you saw them exit the vehicle? >> I didn't see I didn't see nobody exit the vehicle. >> Okay, then what did you see? >> When I got to the road, by the time I got to the road, I saw a couple of running that away. >> Okay. So, you didn't see So, you're saying you didn't see anyone leaving the vehicle? >> No. >> After verifying their information, the officers realized that the witness could not identify them either. So, they initially allowed both of them to leave. All right, you guys are good to go, okay? So, you guys live on Wheeler? >> Yes. >> On the right side? >> No. Uh, no. >> Away from the freeway? >> On on the left side. >> Yeah, like like like >> The right side away from the freeway. >> Yeah, you're exactly right. >> to the freeway, like the off ramp. >> Thanks, guys. Uh do you guys want your information redacted from public record at all? >> For what? >> Uh from our body cams, like I said, we've been recording. >> No. >> No? Okay. Thanks. >> It seemed like the incident was over, but police quickly discovered that the suspect had provided a false name. Clearly, they were hiding something, so the officers stopped them again. >> Hey, you're not free to leave. But get off the bike and sit down on the curb. Cuz you gave me a fake name. Sit down. You want to give me your full name? >> Yeah, no, my name is Jenna. >> What's your full name? >> Jenna Nicole Rogers. >> Okay. What about Juliana? Schuler? Are we going to keep lying or are you going to tell me the truth? >> No, I'm going to tell you the truth. >> What's your name? >> Juliana Nicole Schuler. >> Schuler? Okay. Go ahead and put your hands on top of your head. >> For why? >> You're under arrest for making a false statement to a law enforcement officer. >> Really? >> Yep. >> Can Can you take all my stuff? >> We'll figure that out in a second. Just letting you know you're being audio and video recorded. >> Worse still, police found several items in her pockets that they suspected she had just taken from a gas station. >> This is a friend's coat that he borrowed. >> All right. Well, it feels like there's a lot in here. >> I I probably >> Is this your phone? >> No, that's a friend's phone. >> Friend's phone? >> The friend who owns the coat. We have like >> not your tin foil. >> No. Yeah, right when you seen me or right before you guys you stopped us. >> Right? >> I was over there and he gave me the coat. He said I could put it on cuz I was shivering. >> Okay. >> That is mine. >> The candy is yours? That was in your right front pocket? Okay. >> Yeah, there's candy in there. The candy's mine. This backpack is mine. And then The phone I bought, so that is mine. And then And then What the hell? >> That's an inside pocket. >> Where? I know that there's tears in there, but I don't know what is >> That's this one right here. Okay. Nothing in this jacket that you were wearing? >> No, that has a hole in the pocket. >> Taco Bell wrapper. A little Burger King wrapper. >> It's Taco Bell. >> Taco Bell? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And then somebody stopped me and asked me for it. I got three pieces of Taco Bell in my pocket. >> Given her a fence, the officers decided not to pursue additional charges. And since the ownership of the items found in her possession could not be determined, they made a different decision. >> These are your belongings. I took all your paraphernalia that you claimed wasn't yours. >> It wasn't mine. >> Okay. So, I took all that. Everything else in there also took all the cards that did not belong to you. >> Okay. >> This is going to be your called a sign and release arrest, okay? >> Can I put it in there? >> Yeah, but I got to explain it to you first. >> Okay. >> This is what you got charged with, false providing a false statement to a public servant, right? >> Yes. >> This is the court time, so on Wednesday, November 16th, at 8:30 a.m., you need to be at this address, which is just literally the block down on your right. >> where it is. >> Okay. >> Across from McDonald's. >> Yep, if you don't show up, a warrant will be put out for your arrest, okay? >> Okay. >> You show up, you can plead whatever you want to plead, right? They may drop it, they may not. You may have to serve some time, you may not, okay? >> How much time is it? >> I don't know, but if you don't show up, you're guaranteed to get a warrant. So, I highly suggest showing up, okay? >> Okay. >> All right. Any questions for me? >> No. >> All right. Lesson learned again, what was it? >> Don't lie to you. >> Don't lie to me, cuz next time I may not be as nice, okay? >> Okay. >> All right. In the end, Juliana Schuler was charged with providing a false statement to a law enforcement officer. Lying to police can turn a simple investigation into an arrest. Even when officers decide not to pursue additional charges, >> [music] >> giving false information can still create serious legal consequences. >> Pay for some stuff, and I left this I didn't leave the store. I was like only [music] out like just checked it out. >> embarrassed. Please. >> It happens. Listen, it happens. All right. >> On the 5th of December, 2023, police were dispatched to a Target store after receiving reports of a theft. The suspect was believed to be a woman who deliberately pushed a full shopping cart containing multiple unpaid items. These were the events that unfolded at the scene. >> Hi, ma'am. >> Hi. >> I'm Officer Verducci. I'm with the East Orange Police Department. >> Okay. >> What happened today? >> Um Uh no. No, I don't know. I thought I thought you the police weren't coming. Oh my gosh. >> So, listen, I'm I'm just trying to figure out what's what's going on, okay? So, what happened? >> kids are in the car. >> So, listen, ma'am, we are out with the kids, okay? They're okay. >> Oh my gosh. >> Just just just listen to me real quick, okay? Just stay calm. >> [clears throat] >> Just try and take a deep breath, okay? Um obviously, this gentleman here looks sounds like he tried to bag some items and leave the store, okay? Can you just be honest with us and just tell us what happened today? >> Yes, I just I had some stuff in a bag that I didn't want my kids to see that was for Christmas. That I was going I didn't mean to take all of it. >> Okay. >> And I paid for some stuff and I left this I didn't leave this store. I was like only out like just checked out. >> Okay. Did you walk past the register after you checked out with those items that weren't paid for? >> Yes, like I went to the self checkout and I bought some stuff. >> So, the woman had admitted her actions but tried to avoid responsibility by claiming she had only done it unintentionally. All of it had no effect because the police had already decided their course of action. >> Am I going to be arrested? >> Yes, so shop shoplifting say uh >> Oh my god. >> Still crying. >> I'm I'm going to call my husband or something. >> Okay, listen. >> You got Let me Let me get your handcuffs. >> Ma'am, [laughter] let's listen to me.

He doesn't have a car to get to me. >> Does he have a So what's his >> I don't know. >> Relax. Hey Jake, here. >> In addition, the police's main concern at that moment was that the woman still had family members in the vehicle. They tried to arrange someone to pick them up, but her panic made the situation harder to manage. >> Um keep it scrolled down. Scroll down. Keep scrolling down. Keep scrolling down. Usually he's there if he's closer. >> Okay. >> He's going down. It should say Russell. >> Can I find him in contacts? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> It'll say >> Okay.

No No weapons or anything like that? >> No. >> Okay. >> Just put in your license in this wallet. >> able to get the surveillance? >> Yeah, so they're they're they're perfect. >> It can be said that by this point the woman's remorse came too late as she could no longer change anything. The police had to calm her down to prevent her panic from leading to further problems. >> So embarrassing. There's no excuse for it. I'm I've never been in trouble for anything. >> So listen, that's that's going to work in your favor. Everybody everybody makes makes makes mistakes. Everybody's entitled to second chances. And that's what we're trying to do, okay? So all we're trying to We got to We got to do what we We got to do. But the most important thing is what we do after this, right? So we learn We we learn our We learn our lesson. And we move forward. Life goes on. And like I said, at the end of the day, it's going to be a piece of paper that that you're going to get with a court date. Just make sure you go to that court date. Be honest. And the the the the courts are very flexible. They're very Um But like I said, the demeanor's everything, okay? So we document everything that we have here. So just stay cooperative with us.

It's just like a traffic ticket that I had a long time ago, but I >> meth first. All right, I'm going to check her real quick and then um >> You want to put these in her car or what do you want to do? >> Put these in my car? >> After that, the police noted that the woman had no prior warrants or arrests, indicating this was likely her first offense. Given that the value of the goods was below felony level, they then made a different decision regarding how to handle the case. >> Sit in my car here just till you get out and get your kids just to make sure they're okay. >> Stand up for me. Thank you. >> Listen, let's do the half happens. Like I said, now it's now it's all about learning from your mistakes, right? >> Yes, this is our year. >> Every once in a while they uh catch. >> And when you said have you ever been here cuz I wanted to know. >> There we go. So 29 Tuckerton Road is your >> Yes, it's all written down. I got it all written down. I got everything written down. >> Yes. >> Okay. I got a grade of 4.5.3. >> You're good. So what's what's what's what's going to happen is I'm going to fill out the paperwork paperwork for you at the at the police department. You're going to get it in the mail. >> Okay. >> There's going to be a court date associated with that. Make sure you attend that. >> Okay. >> If you have any >> or >> That's totally up to you. Um I can't make you any kind of suggestions for any legal purposes or anything like that. I'm not allowed to do that. So here's your old driver's license. >> Okay.

It's going to be the court's phone number. >> Okay. >> If you need if if you need any kind of alterations for court dates, if you need any time, if you did want to get representation or anything >> Call that number. >> Call that number and let them know you just need a little little bit of time. Let them know you got kids. Just got to They'll be willing to work with you. Most things are um virtual anyway. >> Okay. >> Um so you can always request that it be a virtual hearing. Um but um other than that you're you're pretty much going to going to be good. Just make sure you keep an eye on that in the mail. In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting and then released shortly after with a court date scheduled for her appearance. The key lesson is that cooperation and honesty during the investigation may not prevent arrest, but they can influence how the case is processed and how quickly it moves to >> First of all, starts walking around the store and you're showing pay for one shirt. >> [music] >> You're nervous. >> I'm nervous. I'm nervous. >> You're like a pro at this. You've done this like five times. >> I'm nervous. >> On the 1st of June 2023, officers received a report from a department store about a woman caught shoplifting. The suspect allegedly concealed multiple items inside her bag before attempting to leave the store. To better understand what happened, let's hear the employee's statement from the scene. >> What's up? >> So >> So >> She stole. >> No. >> That's it. >> That what we here for? >> Yeah, that's it. >> Say less. All right. >> Matching outfit. But this is the thing though. So she has some stuff >> from other stores? >> No. So she took some stuff from us. She left, [music] dropped it off in the car, came back. >> Okay. >> And then, yep. >> Okay. >> Hello. >> Hi. There's a bunch of fragrance bottles. >> How much are we looking at? >> 972. >> 972. >> Girl, 972. >> All these are testers. Plus I don't know if I've even made a police report or not. >> What happened? >> Say less. All right, I'm going to go read her and I'll figure it out. >> And you said? She concealed the slippers. And um the white pants inside of a fitting room. I was there because when she came out the merchandise was gone, but she didn't she wasn't feel sure about it. So they got her to let her just let her let her be. But that's what she concealed inside of her bra. She just put it in her bag? >> Yeah, she put it all in the pink bag. >> The red one? >> Uh yeah. >> Did she buy something too? >> Yes, I think she paid for a couple of things in there. >> [music] >> With the merchandise? >> Check. And she takes that one, puts it in the bag. She paid for some stuff and then starts walking around the store. >> Yeah, she only paid for one shirt. >> Yeah, but >> [music] >> That's it. And then she has it and then she doesn't leave it. >> The surveillance footage had already made the evidence crystal clear. Officers then approached the woman, but the most disappointing part was her cheerful admission of guilt. >> So what happened? >> Just in the head. Take away the perfume. I love perfume. >> Mhm. >> Stupid decision. All you. My phone. >> And why? >> I know the true love camera. I know this land nice. Sometimes I buy because I miss this car. Sometimes I buy and sometimes I take them. >> Okay. So you've done this before? >> Yeah, in this store. >> Yeah. And you >> That's why Yeah, this Sometimes I just stand and pick and I spray the perfume. >> In fact, although she had already admitted to the theft, the stolen items had still not been recovered. She showed no intention of mentioning them until officers specifically asked about them. >> You got your stuff off? >> I got that off. >> Do you have keys? >> How do you know that? And why? >> You got your wallet? >> Yeah. >> [music] >> Emergency North Palm Mercy >> They have you on video surveillance putting other children's clothes into the car. >> They left. Yeah. >> They left? Okay. Who's car is that? >> That was my auntie's >> That was your auntie's car? Okay. That was your auntie's car? >> So what happened with all these other things that you took? I took the shirts. Some pants. >> All they left with is >> They already took that with them? Can they come bring it back? >> What they're going to have to happen is they're going to be accessories after the fact. >> No, I got that. Those I paid for that. >> Okay. And what about all these other things? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Can they bring that stuff back? Can you tell them to come bring it back? >> They have to bring them back. >> Yes. Did you buy it? >> No. >> [laughter] >> Otherwise they're going to catch charges. You don't want that. You're really making this harder and harder on yourself. >> We asked you earlier where the keys are. And what did you say? >> I don't have any keys. >> Okay, so where Where are your keys? >> I never bought it. >> Officers soon found the key that she had insisted she did not have. Any trust they had in the woman immediately collapsed, prompting them to make a swift decision. >> Nice. You just lost all the trust. Good job, girl. >> Give me the keys. >> You are nervous. You're like a pro at this. You've done this like five times. >> Stand up. Stand up. Turn around. Turn around. >> You're good. You lost it.

A lie may seem like a way out in the moment, but once trust is lost, every word that follows becomes harder to believe. >> you told me Tony and my friend were told were sergeants for animal control. >> That's well, okay. But you're both being >> On the 10th of January, 2026, officers were dispatched to Lifetime Fitness after receiving a report about two women who were allegedly intoxicated and refusing to leave. Even after officers arrived and issued them trespass warnings, they still did not seem to take the situation seriously. >> Okay, so the management here has elected to have you guys trespassed. >> It's not that deep. It's I just >> Well, ma'am, I I have no control over that. >> deep. >> That's something you can take up another time with uh like whoever the big big person is. >> It's not that serious. Who's the manager? >> Ma'am, I don't know. >> Well, I don't know. >> All right, can can you just listen to what she said? >> I can't hear what you're talking about. >> Yeah, so stop being argumentative and listen to what she's saying. >> hear that, but I'd like to know the name of the person. >> Let me finish talking and then I'll get whatever you need. >> You need to listen to me. You're saying management. I want to know their name. >> Well, give me a minute. I want to make sure you understand what I'm telling you so that you don't get yourself in trouble. So, for 18 months, if you come back here, you will be arrested. >> Uh according to what manager? >> Let me finish my job as a law enforcement officer cuz as a manager, I don't give a damn. I'm trying to tell you so that you don't get yourself in trouble. >> That's my last >> Okay. I'm telling you not to come back here. Do you understand that? >> I don't say that. >> Okay. So, if you come back, you're going to be arrested. >> that serious. >> Ma'am, I don't care if it's serious or not. I really don't. >> Who was the manager that you were speaking >> Although both women appeared to cooperate while speaking with the officers, they were not actually listening to anything being explained, causing the situation to escalate unnecessarily. She even made several inappropriate actions, forcing the officers to step in and stop her. >> Hey, do me favor. Just back up from her a little bit. You're a little bit too close. You're a little bit too close. Hey, listen. Don't start [ __ ] If you want to finish it, stop it. You were getting too close to her. You were getting too close to her. Wait.

As soon as you're done, you have to leave. >> So, further, so y'all want to talk about law enforcement and all that, you're not even seeing my side. I've been here since earlier. All I've done is side on her side. All I did was try to open that locker and see stuff if my keys were in there and they're being extra. All I'm doing taking pictures and recording the scene because I paid $300 a month to live here. That is it. >> Clearly, both suspects were showing disrespect toward the officers by repeatedly interrupting them. At this point, the officers directly explained the reports of their alleged misconduct that they were facing. >> I was told that you You have been drinking. Someone, I don't know if it was you or you, threw up in the hot tub. >> Yes, that's >> Okay, my friend You're not You're talking over me again. >> Okay, and? >> I asked you Do you want to hear what I have to say? >> Okay, I heard what you said.

She keeps talking to someone and answering. >> It's not that >> You might want to >> Listen, you're being a little Listen. >> Let me explain. Let me explain something to you. >> The officers' warnings were issued and the trespass order officially went into effect, but with their arrogant attitude, they had no intention of leaving, causing the situation to become much worse. >> You've been trespassed. Hold on. >> You can walk out that door and go home. >> Hold on. >> You've been trespassed. Hold on. >> No, there's >> No, stop. Stop fighting. Stop fighting. >> Yeah. >> You know what?

You got to step back. >> Record. >> You got to step Step off. Step off. >> Hey. Andrea. Record. Record. Record. >> She was immediately taken into custody and faced additional charges for resisting, but she showed no remorse. Even during the transport, her behavior continued to create a loud and chaotic situation. >> You were given plenty of warnings. >> No. No. >> Yeah. You can't >> You're not listening. You're taking their side. They're being [ __ ] and that's the problem. You're not listening, bro. All I did was try to make them get my friend home. And y'all ain't listening. >> We gave you multiple warnings to let you go home, but you wanted to be stupid, right? >> No. Y'all wanted to be >> Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. >> I ain't worried about that. Y'all are not warned. This will be on video. So it's all on my body camera. I'm not worried about that. >> And me too. >> Hey.

Thank you very much. You're free to go. >> For the second woman, this was her chance to leave but she refused once again causing her to be arrested shortly afterward. >> Go home now. Get out of here. We already told you. Go. Go. Get the [ __ ] out of here. Are you going to leave or no? Go home now. What? Go home now. Under arrest. You're under >> We don't give a damn.

Uh that's her. >> The woman was charged with trespassing, disorderly intoxication, resisting with violence, and two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. She later pleaded guilty to trespassing, disorderly [music] conduct, and resisting without violence after the other charges were reduced. This case shows that refusing to follow lawful instructions can quickly turn a simple warning into a serious legal situation. Staying calm, listening to authorities, and leaving [music] when legally required can prevent unnecessary consequences and additional charges. >> I was going to I'm just [ __ ] I was going to go run to the bathroom cuz I have to take a [ __ ] guys. I swear to god, I'm not lying. >> idea what this item is? She pulled it tight or something? >> On the 16th of March, 2025, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a woman who had left the store after concealing merchandise. When officers approached her, she denied stealing and gave them a suspicious story about what had happened. >> Hello. You know why we're here? >> No. >> No? Okay. Um yeah, just keep your hands out of your pockets, please. >> I was putting my card back in my >> that's fine. Um >> put it back. >> Yeah, just put it in and then keep your hands out of your pockets, please. >> know why they were assuming that I was They just kicked me out of the store just for >> Okay. All right, well, we're doing a shoplifting investigation, so we're trying to figure out >> They saw I didn't take nothing. I mean, I'm not from here. >> No, where are you from? >> From Grant County. See, I was shopping and I got to the garden center and I had everything and cuz I'm trying to get back home. >> Where do you live? >> This lady assumed that I guess >> Okay, where do you live? >> I live in Grant County, Silver City. >> And the lady assumed what? >> This one right there assumed that I was I guess stealing because I had things in a duffel bag. I had the boxes from the um cosmetics where I was getting my hygiene. I had them in boxes, so like I was still going to pay for them and the the bag was still like like left open, you know? >> Okay. >> Um and then she started saying, "Oh, you're just trying to come up." Like I don't I don't know if she thinks that I'm familiar, but I'm not from here. >> Okay. >> Like I I'm just trying to get home, guys. Like >> So, you're saying it was never your intention to steal it? >> No. >> Okay. >> No, and I didn't. And that's why like when she walked up and started assuming that I was going to steal, I just handed them back to her. I said, "If that's the case, then here." >> Okay. >> Ask her. I just handed them back. >> So >> And I >> So, she put the merchandise into her own bag, which made the store employees suspicious. However, according to the report, she still tried to leave the store, forcing the officers to explain the situation to her. >> The actual crime happens when you conceal the items. >> What was concealed? >> Put them in something else. >> Oh, so okay. >> So, in the eyes of the law, right? You know, obviously when you walk out the store it's a shoplifting. >> Okay, but there's so many of you guys like >> Cuz we are in the city right now. It's okay. >> Can you find out on your phone and find out if they're going to charge or just trespass? >> Um, so in the eyes of the law if you grab an item and you take off the tag, that's shoplifting. I I know. I'm just giving you the examples. >> And then when I went into garden center, I ain't going to lie to you guys. I wanted to like I wanted to step out here and I did. I started hitting my vape. >> Okay. That's why you're going to garden center. >> Yeah, and then I got my bags and I was without the basket cuz I had the basket but I'm telling you guys I have to [ __ ] I was going to go run to the bathroom cuz I have to take [ __ ] guys. I swear to god I'm not lying. >> have an ID on you? >> I don't. I don't have I'm not from here guys. I'm not from here. >> Okay. >> I'm trying to get back home. I came up here >> People who aren't from here will still have IDs, okay? So, have you ever had an ID in New Mexico? You have? Okay. >> Um, yeah, if you guys look at the camera you guys can see I was hitting my vape. >> Okay. >> Just as she had claimed, the officer then went into the loss prevention office to review the surveillance footage where he clearly discovered evidence of her wrongdoing. >> Here is where she selected the the bags. She had the small bag on the bottom that she got from luggage and then she selected this bag here. This is the purse. I think in this aisle she pulled a tie or something. Over here you'll see her here. >> Morning RV 76 in Mountain View. I watched the stuff, you know. >> Okay, but the paper that is inside, huh? >> I think that she was going to conceal what I did cuz the management passed by, she got spooked. >> But, let me take a picture of the the bags out here. Cuz this is all that [clears throat] she took, right? >> Yeah. >> So, I don't know how she took the >> In addition, the woman repeatedly mentioned a man who was with her, leading the officers to suspect that he could also be involved in the incident. He also raised suspicions when the officers approached and questioned him. >> Pretty good. Let's go over here and talk with her. >> Okay. >> Do you know who she is? >> No. >> You don't know >> No. >> Um Okay. You never seen her before? >> No. >> Never seen her before? >> No. >> Okay. When did you get to the Walmart? >> Um just about an hour ago. >> How long ago? >> About 20 minutes ago, 30 minutes ago. >> 20, 30 minutes ago. How long have you truck been parked here for? >> Oh, right here? >> Yeah. >> Like 15 minutes. >> 15 minutes? >> Yeah. I went back into the auto care center. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Do you have an ID? >> Uh >> she knows you, and she's implicated in a crime, so >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. Yeah, so >> Um I don't have my wallet with me. I have my driver's license number, though. >> Yeah, go ahead. Okay, so you do know her, obviously, right? >> Yeah, she's my chick. >> She's your chick. How long have you How long has she's been your chick for? >> For 5 years already. >> 5 years? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Where are you [snorts] guys from? >> Selma. >> From Selma? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um you guys got here how long ago? >> About 30 minutes ago. >> About 30 minutes ago. What was her intent to come here? >> I don't know what she was doing. >> 11:54 11:30 10. >> Okay, you guys didn't discuss anything beforehand? >> No. >> Uh taking any merchandise, stealing anything or something like >> Okay. Has she Has she been arrested for shoplifting before? >> No, not that I know of. >> Not that you know of. You But you've been together for 5 years, so you would know, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Give me Give me just 1 second. We're going to try to clarify her statements and stuff like that. >> Okay. >> Um you said you've been here 30 minutes, but it didn't quite match what you got us, so we want to make sure that >> What we've been here. >> So okay. I want to just want to make sure we get that >> Do I have to wait? >> Yeah, you do. >> Okay. >> Yeah, at this point I need >> How come? What did I do What did I do? >> Okay. Well, I mean, she's shoplifted over $600 worth of stuff. You brought her here. There's reasonable suspicion that that you uh you guys could have conspired. >> All right. All right. >> So So but there's there is reasonable suspicion to to suggest that, okay? So hang out for us and uh >> So I get arrested if I do? >> If it's conspiracy, yeah, you can be. >> But I mean, how if I >> Okay. Hold on. We're I'm going to We'll get to you in just a minute. Just >> Returning to the woman, the evidence against her had become undeniable, and the officers proceeded to place her in handcuffs. >> Hey, just be nervous. >> Don't talk to him. >> And >> You put your hands behind your back. >> You're not going to arrest me. >> You're being detained right now. You have a arrest warrant for you for you, so we're we're going to go ahead >> An arrest warrant? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Can you guys take me to my dad? >> No, ma'am. You're going to go to jail. >> I can't go to jail. >> Are you uh Do you work now? >> She's 23. >> Oh. >> Daniel, can I talk to him, please? >> Let's go inside the unit. >> No, he's my He's my he's my husband. He's my husband. He's my husband. >> Ma'am, it's fine. We're just taking you to the the the unit. Let's go. >> Babe, can I give him my stuff? >> Yeah. Let's go. I'll I'll I'll put it on the unit and then I'll give it to him. >> Babe. >> Ma'am. >> Babe. I'm going to jail. Why did you get me? >> What stuff do you want to give it to him? >> Will you please help? >> Do you have anything to help? You have anything to help him with, buddy? Let's get inside the unit, ma'am. >> You want to go to your home? >> After arresting the woman, the officers continued questioning the man to determine the extent of his involvement in the incident. The further they investigated, the more inconsistent his statements became. >> Well, we went in shopping, right? She told me she wanted to get some pants. So, I mean, I got what I I just got me a couple pairs of pants. And that was it. Okay, I came back to the truck. >> That's weird. >> Cuz I I uh I mean, I walked around with her for a while, you know what I mean? And then she she got whatever she wanted to get and then I just came to the truck. >> Okay. >> And then I came over here cuz I wanted to get some some look at some tires and stuff. >> The auto care center? >> It's not even open. >> Yeah, it is. >> No. >> They had a guy filling up right now. So, when you came >> No, not get tires. I wanted to look at tires. >> When you came in >> Uh-huh. >> where did you park? >> Up here. >> Where? >> Show me. Where, where? >> Somewhere like in the middle kind of. >> Okay. Somewhere in the middle. >> Like I can't remember. >> So then you guys went inside? >> Yeah. >> How long were you shopping with her? >> Like probably 30 minutes maybe. >> 30 minutes? >> Yeah. >> 20 minutes, 30 minutes? How long was she in here total? >> About I can't I can't tell you the truth to be honest. >> You can't tell me the truth? >> I mean I don't I don't know. Yeah, I don't know how long we were in there. >> So then you got out with you were going to get and then you brought it you came out here. >> No, I didn't bring it. >> No, no, you came out here. >> Yeah, I just came outside. >> And you got in you got in the truck >> Yeah. >> and you drove it over here. >> Yeah. >> And you're saying because you wanted to go to the auto parts store. >> Yeah. >> That's it. Do you know what that sounds like? >> I don't know. Why? Cuz that's what happened. You can look on the cameras. >> That I know that's what happened on the cameras. >> Yeah. >> You're lying about the reason. >> Why would I lie about the reason? >> You didn't ask me why the reason was. What was the reason? Why did you do all that? >> Do all what? >> Driving, getting stuff, come out here, get in the truck and drive right here. >> Well, because I want to I want to go in through there. >> I know the I know what you told me. I'm telling you you're lying to me about the reason. >> No, I'm not. I'm honestly not. >> Okay. Wait, I mean okay. >> In the end, the woman was charged with felony shoplifting while the man was determined to have helped drive her away from the store. However, because the store did not want to pursue further charges against him, he was released with a trespass warning. What do you think about the store's decision and the officer's handling of this case? >> [music] >> Do you think the man deserved to be released with only a trespass warning or should he have faced further charges? Leave a comment and share your thoughts. Next, the woman valued her reputation more than her own wrongdoing. >> Me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh my goodness. >> For grand theft from theft from Target. >> Um but I would have to place me in handcuffs, put me in the back of my car. >> To walk out. Can I walk to your car and then you put me in here? >> Yeah, we can do that. >> Is that okay? >> On the 12th of February, 2025, police were dispatched to the woman's workplace, which was believed to be connected to a target theft case. At that moment, the woman was completely bewildered by the presence of the police. >> Hi. Hi. >> Are you guys with me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh, is there something wrong with me? >> Who? Um want to go somewhere a little private? >> Uh We can go down this hallway? >> Sure. >> Sorry, this this all open everywhere, so >> And our AC's broken, so it's going to be like big. It's going to be hot in here, too. Sorry. >> That's fine. I just I'm trying to spare whatever here, so >> Okay. >> You're being placed under arrest. >> Me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh my goodness. >> For grand theft. From theft from Target. So, there's 10 to 18 different times that you have been at Target and paid for items and then did not pay for items and they all have you all on video and photos and all of that, so right now we are here because we have the APC for your arrest. >> Okay. Oh. So, what does what do I like can you just kind of tell me what to do? >> So, now how we do this? >> Yeah. >> So, I'm telling you that right now and I'm don't want to embarrass you in front of your work company, so I'm trying to be nice here about it. >> Of course. >> Um but I would have to place handcuffs, put you in the back of my car. >> To walk out? Can I walk to your car and then you put me in here? >> Yeah, we can do that. >> Is that okay? >> She was embarrassed when she realized she might be handcuffed and taken out, but showed no real reaction to the theft accusation. She then shifted to concerns about her family, which delayed the investigation. >> So, I can't call anybody now? >> I just I'm not trying to do anything but beyond this. >> Cuz my kids >> Well, yeah, it's like >> I I do have kids. >> Yeah, I I did go to your house. Uh your son >> My son's home sick with the flu. >> It's okay. I I did ask I didn't know if you were home. >> He's older. >> Yeah, he's fine. >> Uh it's like I >> He's in middle school, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. He was in middle school last I asked. >> How old is your youngest? Seven. And he's probably just getting to the clubhouse. Does he walk from >> the clubhouse? >> Yeah, but like this meeting that I was just in that I got pulled out of as soon as it was over, I normally go home. >> Yeah, is there anybody else I can go there for at least the evening? >> Do you have a husband, boyfriend? >> Uh yeah, I mean I can call my if I'm allowed. >> Yeah, you can. Yeah, we're giving you >> We're giving you the opportunity to call somebody to go to the house for the kids. >> Yeah, right. So, I know he's not home now, but he's like you know, at work He's not. Okay. >> It's a little different of a situation where other people are >> Yeah. >> looking to call somebody in for this, so So, people are like that. >> To this day, the woman appeared calm and smiling as she faced everything, but in reality, she had caused $3,000 in damages through multiple thefts, and when she called her family, she told a concealed version of events as if trying to preserve her dignity. >> They said for theft at Target for self-checkout. So, No, I'm not drinking. >> Yeah, that's the coffee. >> Sorry. >> No, you're good. >> It's probably not the norm, so he probably he or she >> I just >> Okay. But because I they had gone to the house and he was there, so I told them like Scarlett and Zane center probably getting home from school right now, so so they don't call DCF because the kids are home alone, not because we did anything wrong. Okay. He said he'll leave now and go home. >> Do you have anything here that you need to take out? >> Um like a purse? >> Um I think my purse. Sorry. >> I wouldn't know. that. don't know. So, I would have to go up with you >> and I would try and get my not >> No, I can leave my partner like for the night. >> Or till later today. >> As long as you're fine with that. >> Shortly after her walk of shame began, but she showed no real shame for her actions. Instead, she was mainly concerned about how her co-workers would look at her. >> Okay. >> So I can use clothes. >> Yeah. >> And then you get different clothes. >> Okay. Ready? >> Got it. I think I can >> My car's right there. Doing it as professional as possible. >> This is on the front side. This I know all my co-workers are going to be talking about. Yeah. >> The only way you can get in more trouble now is if you took off running. So yeah, I don't think you're going to do that. So >> I would not. >> You're definitely >> I would not do that. So how long does somebody have to stay? >> Um well, you can bond out as soon as the booking's done. Um you can which will just take a few hours once I get you booked and then all the paperwork's done. It usually takes a few hours. >> That's okay. >> So as long as you have the funds to bond you can bond out this this afternoon. Oh, yeah. >> Like I can >> You don't have any priors, right? >> No. >> Okay. >> Yeah, so I when you make Like I could go like to work tomorrow? Or people don't do things like that? >> to as as long as you You have to have the money to be able to bond. >> Right. And then people can like kind of live in normal until things Okay. I can do all normal things. It's just right now is the >> This is the moment. >> This is the moment where we unfortunately go in and >> through this moment >> You've been really cooperative. I'm not going to handcuff you in the back. I'm going to handcuff you in the front. It's policy I have to handcuff you. So >> That Whatever. I don't want to >> Yeah, so I'll You sit down and handcuff you in the front and then I'll take you to jail and you literally just get booked processed and you're going to get the opportunity to bond in or have your husband or something. Yeah, yeah, and then he can work on that. >> And then >> How do you know how much it is? >> Um I it'll populate in mind, but they should tell you too. >> tell me. Okay, cuz I was like, how do you know? >> The woman never truly admitted her actions, but her concern about her own fate quickly replaced any acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The officer then explained what she could potentially be facing next. >> The problem is is that you're okay. The problem is with that is that I can't give you an NTA, a notice to appear, because it's an above a misdemeanor amount. So >> a felony? >> Yeah. >> That's the problem that >> I can't just take you uh with a notice to appear for you just to see the judge. So it would be like an arrest without arresting you and taking you to the jail. So the reason why that it's different is because of the level that it's at. So or I would be >> What is the level that it's at? >> Um I'd have to look at the amount, but I know it's grand theft. >> What is that? Like what's the What are the 750? >> It's uh like a above 750. >> $750 is grand theft? >> Yeah. Sounds like a low amount for a big thing, I know. >> I wonder if I'm going to get fired. >> If someone looks it up, I don't know your policy. >> Like if it's a felony, like am I a felon? >> No. No, no, no. >> Okay, I'm sorry. I just don't know. >> You're just getting arrested. That's it. You're not charged You're not convicted. You are not The judge does not say, "You are guilty of everything that you did."
