You are you are not going to leave right now. >> Okay. You're not going to put your hands on me. >> I got to get her contact information, all that kind of stuff. You guys are going to be banned from the store. Okay. >> That's all. >> Are you supposed to do >> and what do you do? You like you scan it or what does it look like? >> I'm able to type it in. >> Don't resist. I'm telling you, it's the last thing you want to do. >> Don't resist. >> Why are you touching? >> Cuz you're under. >> As life advances, not everyone chooses to follow the same path. Some facing hardship turned to theft instead of working. The police showed up and made it clear this was a terrible choice. These are the moments when cops surprised and stopped a shoplifter walking out with an entire cart. We are This is Law. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Starting with this foolish woman. She still tried to cover for the accomplice who had left her behind. >> He said all you have to do is drop it off. You don't It's not even that big of a deal. Just drop it off somewhere. >> I don't know her like that. I just met her off Instagram like a couple months ago. Can you show me her incident? >> On October 23rd, 2025, officers received a call from a retail store reporting a theft committed by two women, one of whom fled the scene shortly after. Upon arrival, the woman who had been left behind attempted to deny any involvement and shifted the blame onto the one who ran away. >> I don't even feel like doing this [ __ ] My friend just ran out the with the stuff and then left me outside. And I don't have nothing. I don't have I didn't steal nothing. I don't have nothing. And they not trying to give me nothing. Y'all can lock me up. Y'all can look at the cameras. I didn't walk out the store with nothing. >> So, who's your friend and where she >> I don't know. I can't even call her. They won't give me my phone so I can call her. They took my phone. They took everything from me. I don't even have my purse. >> But who's your friend? >> Her name left. I don't know. I can't call her. I cannot call her. She >> Let's Let's go inside. >> The lady is being weird. Like, if she's me, I don't want to go with nothing. >> Okay. >> I don't know where she went. >> The manager. >> Do you? She keep want to run for me. I don't know why why the manager manager is running for me. Like she got my stuff on her. I just care about having my phone. Like this don't even make no sense. How am I going to get like something that I didn't do? >> Okay. Do you guys have her phone? >> We do. I found it in the parking lot. >> Okay. Can you give it to her so she can call her friend who left? >> Yeah, it's in there. We found it on the parking lot after they had their stuff. >> Do you have video of her taking stuff out of the store, too? >> They're my LP is pulling. if I have him loading up the car. >> Shortly after, the woman was allowed to call the other suspect and ask her to return, but based on what unfolded, she had no intention of following the officer's direction. >> Yeah. Hello. In the store still. Oh, cuz I'm going to go to jail. >> Tell her she needs to come back here so we can figure it out. If she has the merchandise, it's not that big of a deal. Okay. >> He said all you have to do is drop it off. You don't. It's not even that big of a deal. Just drop it off somewhere. Anywhere. >> No, back here. She's got She has to come back here. >> Why is she got to come back here? >> Because she has to. I got to get her contact information, all that kind of stuff. You guys are going to be banned from the store. Okay. >> And that's all. >> Are you going to go to jail? >> No. As of right now. No. Okay. As of right now, she just needs to come back here with the merchandise and you guys are going to be banned from the store. >> Okay. >> Well, you said that just come back so we can be banned from the store. >> I need I need to get her information. Okay. So, I mean, it's going to take a few minutes, but >> what' you say? He said he just need your contact information so he can bring his band. I mean, bands from the store cuz he need as long as she still has merchandise. >> As long as you still have it. >> If she doesn't have merchandise, then that's going to be a different story. >> She said she threw it out the window. >> Tell her she needs to come back. So, so here's the other thing, okay? If she doesn't want to come back here, we have officers looking for her car right now and she'll get pulled over and pull out of the car at gunpoint. I don't think she wants that to happen. Okay, we have license plate readers. They read all over the area. Okay, she needs to just come back here, get this taken care of. >> From the woman's demeanor and the conversation between the two suspects, they showed no sign of recognizing the seriousness of what they had done, prompting the officer to warn them about the consequences that would follow. >> And if she doesn't come back, she's going to get you into more trouble. All right? because then you'll be harboring a fugitive at this that at that point. >> I'm harboring a fugitive. >> Yeah. If if she doesn't come back, I mean, that's that's kind of the name of the game. So, you need to get your friend here. Otherwise, you're going to be in worse trouble. Okay. >> In the lady pocket. >> Yeah. She has I mean, he has said that if you don't come back, then I'm be harboring a fusitive. Is that a felony or something? >> It It depends on how much she stole. If she doesn't return it, if if her act was a felony >> Uhhuh. And and you don't help us make contact with her. >> I'm trying to help you. >> Well, I understand that. But if if she won't work with you, >> can she have somebody else drop it off? >> No, she has to come back here. We have to make contact with her. >> He said nobody else drop it off. They need contact me, too. I said, "All right, >> don't don't hang up the phone cuz I need >> I need to get her information, too. I need her name >> cuz she she trying to find her right." >> No, she can't call her mom. No, she needs because she just committed a crime. >> She just wanted to honor it. >> Despite being left behind, the woman still chose to ignore her friend's escape, which led officers to step in and directly attempt to persuade the other suspect, "Call her back." Cuz I just I don't want to have to have my guys out looking for for a ticket, a misdemeanor, retail theft. All right? Like I'm at the most, like I said, they just they want you trespassed, but at at most it's going to be a ticket and you guys get to leave. >> Okay. >> But >> she I mean, he said he just want to give us a ticket so we can leave. >> No. >> Can you put her on speaker so I can explain to her what's going on? >> He want me to put you on speaker phone? >> Okay. He Okay. He want to talk to you, >> ma'am. >> Ma'am. >> Hey. Hey. every hour. >> Okay, that's fine. So, here's here's what I need. Okay, I need you to just come back here. All right, they want you guys trespassed. At the very most, if if you don't have the merchandise with you still, you're going to get a misdemeanor citation. You're not going to jail or anything like that, okay? But I need to get it taken care of. I really don't want to have to put a bolo on your car because then you're going to get stopped. You're going to get pulled out of the car at gunpoint. Your car is going to get towed. All that kind of stuff. I would rather you just come back here. Let me write you a ticket and you guys are going to be on your way. Okay. >> So, can you please do that for me so that we don't have to have our officers out all out looking for you? >> Yes. >> Okay. Where are you at right now? >> Um, I'm on the way back. I'm on the highway. >> You're on the highway? Go ahead. What? 64. >> The woman who fled clearly had no intention of returning. And even the one being detained refused to provide any information about her, offering multiple suspicious excuses. >> Yeah, I don't have her her location anymore cuz she stopped sharing it. >> I don't know her like that. I just met her off Instagram like a couple months ago. >> Can you show me her Instagram real quick? >> Does she have green hair right now? What color is her hair right now? >> All right. What? Show me her page. Okay. All right. Do me a favor and call her again cuz I need to know where she's at. I need to know if she's actually coming up here or not. If she's not, then I'm going to send out a bolo to St. Louis police and they're going to find her. Be on the lookout and they're going to show up at her house and they're going to take her into custody until we get her. I'm I don't have time to play games. We got other stuff going on. >> Oh, he is really fine. Where where's she at? >> He said, "Where you at?" She said she don't know what highway, but she know she on the highway. >> Where? Like, >> how far did she make it out? >> Like, are you still out here? >> Why she putting you on hold? >> I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if she's trying to call her mama, have her meet her up here. I don't know. I don't even live out here. Like, I don't even know how. >> Well, hopefully she comes back and she gives you a ride home. >> Yeah, my bad. I thought cuz I call her I didn't know I knew it was I just gave her anything. I don't know. It's >> 140. Who does that 28 return to? >> No, because I don't have nothing to hide. I just want to go home. Like I didn't even I didn't come with I came here. >> Did Did you have money with you with the intention of buying stuff? >> Yeah. No, it's it's her baby shower. So, we was coming here for her like to buy stuff for her. We was in a check. We was literally going to the checkout line and she was the she was like, "Bo." >> Shortly after, officers returned to the store to determine the total value of the loss they had caused as it would ultimately decide the consequences they would face. >> Do you have an approximate dollar value on what she took? >> Um, no. I mean, I couldn't see exactly what was all on the card. I know the one big fair alone was like $300 or something, but I didn't couldn't see like you've seen the pictures on. >> Okay. So there >> any items that you know for sure were stolen. Can you just give me a price of it? Cuz it's going to determine whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor. >> Yeah. I mean, >> and I I have the other subject identified now. Okay. >> So, and I know where she lives. So, we'll we'll get her in custody as well. >> The other lady that kind of scene and we'll see if we can put >> Yeah, just any kind of receipt. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, how much did you guys really steal? >> I don't know. It was It was like a polar bear. >> They have two carts full. You're pushing a cart full of stuff and she's pushing a cart >> and the court like the cart it had like a basket in it. Like the cart but it had a basket in it. >> Okay. >> And then hers had just birds and like polar birds. >> Okay. So because here here's going to be the problem. >> Yeah. >> I went I just went in there there and asked the price of they said the bear by itself. I guess the big bear that she took it's over $300. >> Oh but I didn't had a bird. I don't really anything. >> I get you. But that's I mean >> I'm going to get charged for everything. >> No. So you you're both going to get charged for it. But so they're supposed to send me a receipt to determine whether it was a felony or a misdemeanor. >> I I don't need a felony on my record. >> I know you don't. All right. So here >> you got to bring it back. >> I mean at this point we're past that. That's what I was trying to do. I was trying to get you guys out of this with just being trespassed. If she would have just come back, it wouldn't have been a huge deal. But I I feel bad for you. I honestly do feel bad for you cuz you got screwed by your friend. >> She was found guilty of retail theft and obstruction of identification after attempting to cover for her accomplice and providing false information to officers. Covering for someone who abandoned you and lying to authorities only makes the situation worse, turning a minor offense into more serious charges. Next, the woman believes she could not be arrested. >> Did you go to a register? >> She did. >> You did? Which register do you go to? >> No, you're not. >> If not, don't resist. Then you'll catch a bad charge and send them just a shoplift. >> Why can't I call my brother? >> On the 18th of April, 2024, the police received a report of a theft involving a female suspect who was believed to have not paid for her items. When they approached, the woman was loading goods into her vehicle and completely denied the accusations. >> Hi, what's your first name again? >> Candy. >> Candy. Do me first. Step over here real quick. Do you have a receipt for all this stuff? >> I do. my Gmail. >> On your Gmail, Just Step over here for one second. We got to figure this out cuz we're saying we we didn't pay for this. >> You have it on your Gmail, >> sir. What's your relation? >> I'm a lift driver. >> There's a lift driver. Okay. >> We've met before, right? >> Um, >> where are you from? >> No. All right. Never mind. a balloon. This is attach Frank 96 Julia Baker Yankee in New Jersey. The woman claimed she had paid for the items, but when officers questioned her about the method of payment, her answers raised multiple suspicions. >> How did you pay for the items? >> Huh? >> How did you pay for the items? >> My first um >> Did you go to a register? >> I did. I did. >> You did? Which register did you go there? >> Selfch checkout. >> Selfch checkckout. Okay. And what do you do? Like you scan it or what does it look like? >> I'm able to type it in my um prison card. >> Okay. You have a license ID with you? >> My ID? >> Yeah. >> No. >> You don't have one at all or you don't have it with you? >> I don't have it with me. >> Okay. You you have an ID though? >> Uh the bottle of alcohol. Did you >> do it over here? >> No. >> What? What register? You pay for everything at that register. >> Yeah. No, I just paid for the stay over there and then I paid for her. Some of that stuff. >> How'd you pay for the liquor? >> Use my money. >> Cash or >> cash? It was like $20. >> Did they give you a receipt for it? >> I didn't ask for one. >> What's your first name? >> Candy. >> C A N D Y. >> I E. >> Is that your legal name? >> Yes. >> Okay. How old are you? >> 22. >> What's your last name? house. >> H O U S E. >> Yes. >> Middle initial >> D. >> And what's your home address now? >> Phone number. >> She did not carry a card yet claimed she had entered card details to complete the purchase and even her cash payment had no receipt. Other officers and store employees confirmed that she had not paid for the items. >> So you go ahead and get this show. >> Uh didn't check out. Just pushed right out the front door. Yeah, she did the same thing uh back at the end of March. >> Yeah, she looks familiar. I definitely deal with her. So, um yeah, she said she paid with an ED card. So, we'll get uh let's get the stuff out of the court here and then uh we'll have them ring it up and we'll go from there. >> Anthony can hang out and they can do a store seat. >> Is she trespassed from here? >> Not that I'm aware of. Like I have >> never I recognize her from prior. >> What uh any What drew you into her? Um, prior. >> We had some stuff missing from our home entertainer. I think like our crockpot back with her. That was a couple months back. >> Got it. Okay. >> She just recognized when she came. Got it. >> All right. And then she's pushed out and never stopped. >> Watching her for the past 45 minutes up everything front door. >> Okay. Sounds good. Let me just run her stuff and we'll get this going here. >> That's it. >> That's it. What we just put bags? >> Well, yeah. Bags and those loose things over there. >> Paper towels and pockets. It was clear that when the items were recovered, she showed no confusion or concern as if she had never actually purchased them, which led officers to question this behavior before taking action. >> Just watch him push the car. >> I wouldn't lie. Just don't lie. >> All right. Hand him your phone. I don't know if you want to find my brother. You're You can call from our headquarters. >> Excuse you. >> No, you're not. >> Don't resist. Then you'll catch a bad charge and send him just a shoplift. >> Why can't I call my brother? >> You can call from our headquarters. Reported line phone. >> Don't resist. I'm telling you, it's the last thing you want to do. >> Don't resist. >> Why are you touching me? >> Cuz you're under arrest. >> You're going to do this the hard way. You're going to find >> You're arresting me when I have a receipt and you won't let me find. >> We know you don't have a receipt. >> I do. >> We know you don't have a receipt. >> You won't let me find it. You're going to get you're going to end on the be happy about it. She's resisting of course. Let go. >> Yeah, I know. Yeah. Watch out. Watch out. >> Well, I didn't break it. >> In the end, the woman was charged with shoplifting. Dishonesty and refusal to cooperate only made the situation worse, proving that taking responsibility early could have avoided more serious consequences. Next, meet this shameless couple. >> 149. What were you doing at Walmart? >> 149. >> And we didn't get one. at 149. You pulled into the lot. You stole You stole the mulch. >> On the 24th of March, 2024, police were dispatched after a couple was caught on camera stealing gardening items outside Walmart late at night. An officer then arrived at Walmart to update staff about the incident that had taken place with this car and it was full of a lot of soil uh mulch and then there was plants and I noticed the plant was expert gardener which I know is your guys >> stuff that they probably took out there. So it was it was pretty full of a lot of stuff. Um, I noticed there was some miracle growth. So, I don't know if you guys have that sitting outside, too. >> All they got out there, >> but there was some orange orange bags of mulch, which I think I re I drove through there and I recognized those and I saw the same shrubbery and it still had the tags on it. So, I'm >> They're not even smart tags off. >> No. >> Well, they told me they bought it from Lowe's. And so, I'm using my smartphone. I'm like, they don't sell that there. There's only one place that sells it and it's you guys. >> So I was like, "Okay, the story's not adding up." >> Yeah. >> So I didn't know if somebody was able to look at cameras and see. >> Perfect. And right here he comes. >> Shortly after, the officer contacted a loss prevention employee at Walmart to brief them on the situation and request assistance in gathering information about the suspect vehicle involved. I gota >> um there was also some liquid miracle grow and stuff in there. So I don't know if you guys have that sitting out um >> in that spot. Not >> I can like you have the stuff with you. >> Uh no it was a lot of stuff but I I couldn't just grab it cuz I'm obviously I'm still investigating but we obviously we have their information because of the >> but I didn't know if we can if you wanted to check the cameras and see if there was a sedan that went out there. >> You said a blue sedan. It was a blue sedan. >> I'm guessing they probably got it right before you guys found it. >> That'd be my guess. But who knows how much how much time they were driving around cuz they said that they went out to Lowe's at 9, made their purchase 9:30 and then picked up the the Christmas tree which was on top of the soil. It was like a p like like a white bag. I don't remember the name. I'd have to go back on my body cam. >> All right. >> And see the name on that. But I know the mulch was the same. And I know that the shrubs were the same. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Cuz I don't, you know, if they were smart, they went ahead and on them too long. >> Mhm. With the help of surveillance footage, police identified the suspect vehicle and traced it to the suspect's residence where they later made contact and continued the investigation. >> Get them both out here and get everything back you can. >> Yep. >> Come on out, police. Hey, for me, >> where she at? >> She is in there. What's wrong, Charlina? Hey, Charlina, >> come down here. >> Please come on out here. >> Do you need me to see? >> No. Come on out here. >> Come out here. >> Can I? >> No. No. No. No. Come on out here. Come on out here. >> Come out here. >> Okay. >> Come out. Can I get a >> Can I get a cup? >> Now, just before warn you guys, she does have hard problems. >> All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, won't be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights? >> Talk to. >> It appeared that judging by the man's panicked expression, he fully understood what had just unfolded. While the woman remained unusually calm, as if she had already prepared some kind of response to the allegations. >> 49. And what were you doing at Walmart? >> 149. >> You weren't and we didn't go to Walmart >> at 149. You pulled into the lot. You stole the little You stole the mulch and the trees, right? Just quit playing games. I mean, you're on video. >> It's all on video, guys. >> We still trees. >> So, you paid for the 149, >> huh? >> So, you paid for it to the 149? >> No. >> Okay. So, how'd you >> So, what would you call that? You didn't steal and you didn't pay for it. She postpaid. >> I postpaid. >> What's that mean? >> Like I can show you a thing. >> I printed it up. >> No. So So here's here's the deal. We need everything that was taken back. So where's it all at? >> No problem. A couple bags. There's more mulch. We need the flowers. >> Top soil. Flowers. >> Do you need to cough me? >> No. You're both going to be issued summones for thefts. >> Huh? You're both going to be issued a summon for theft. >> Not him. He didn't do nothing. Both of you are going to be issued a summon for theft. >> Why is he getting it? >> Both of you together and both of you can fire together to take all this mulch. >> No, I told him this. We're not going to argue with you. We're telling you what's going to happen. What's going to happen? >> I I don't care. >> Where's the top stool? Is it still in the trunk? >> The woman ultimately failed in her attempt to take full responsibility for the situation. Immediately afterward, both individuals were instructed to accompany the officers while the stolen items were recovered. >> Right there in the car, >> this one right here is Lowe's. >> And this one's Lowe's. Where's the one that was here? That was Lowe's. >> These are both Walmart. >> Yes. >> Okay, go and grab these for me. >> Those are Lowe's. >> Oh, they Yeah, they got Lowe's on them. You're right. Well, no. >> I did buy Lowe's. Which one of those are probably stolen too from Lowe's? >> No, they're not. >> You think anyone's going to believe you right now? >> I don't give a [ __ ] >> Well, you already you already we already know that you're a thief, so >> you know. Well, somebody loaded it up in the truck. >> That guy right there told me he had no idea. That man can't walk. >> Well, that mean you can grab. >> You going Don't hurt yourself loading this stuff up. You need us to do what we can. >> I did this. >> All right. >> It had nothing to do with it. >> Well, load it up. >> I will. >> Got two bags up here by the door, too. The orange stuff. Grab it down in there. I think so. Yes, sir. >> There's two bags by the door there. You got two bags of top so by the door there. Go and grab it. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah, I'm about to do for a hit. >> That tell that doctor to take up. >> Yeah. >> Does Walmart want them barred as well? >> In the end, both of suspects were charged with theft. Even minor theft is easily exposed through surveillance and evidence, and lying only worsens the outcome, leading to legal consequences and a permanent ban from the store. Next, shift the mood to a chaos fueled by pride. >> I'm innocent. I haven't done anything. >> Let go. >> Stop. I need my glasses. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> I didn't do I need my backpack. On April 15th, 2026, officers were dispatched to a McDonald's after receiving reports of a woman causing a disturbance and refusing to leave. When they arrived at the scene, the heated confrontation was still unfolding. >> Me outside, I have never been kicked out of any McDonald's. Why are you doing this? >> Come on, let's go outside. Why are you doing Let's go outside. Let's go outside. Doing the white man's outside. >> Why are you doing the white man's? Let's go. >> Huh? Huh? Gatekeeper. Black gatekeeper.

Do not >> I don't care. >> Stop. >> I don't care. >> Let go. >> She even used every possible way to emphasize her status in an attempt to demand special treatment. And her behavior showed no sign of stopping, forcing officers to escalate their response with stronger warnings. >> Stop. I've done nothing wrong. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I said nothing wrong. behind your back. >> Stop. >> You're going to get tased. >> Stop. >> You're going to get tased. >> Put your hand behind your back.

I haven't done anything wrong. >> My son graduates from >> That's great. I don't care. >> You failed to identify yourself. You failed to leave after being asked. >> My son graduates from the University of Month. Please, sir, stop. You don't need to do this. Why are you doing this? Please don't. >> You have to listen to the >> I will give you my ID. >> You will. You failed to give it the first three times I asked. You're No, that's too late for that. We're not doing that. >> She was then escorted to the patrol car to be transported to the station, but before getting in, a search was conducted and it was anything but easy. >> Please stop. Please stop. Please stop. >> Where is your buckle? >> Buckle for your back. >> I got it. >> Please stop. Please stop. >> All right. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> Relax. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> Please stop. Please stop. Where's my backpack? >> And Drewie, >> I need my >> Oh, never mind. >> Okay, hold on. >> Can you loosen them? >> Relax. >> Those are very tight. Please loosen them. They are not tight.

I didn't do I need my backpack. >> Even inside the patrol car, she showed no shame, calling out to everyone she saw and pleading dramatically as if putting on a show to make others believe she was being mistreated. >> Ma'am, ma'am, can I get some water, please? Ma'am. Ma'am, can I get water, please? I NEED WATER. I need water. I need water. I need water. I need water. Can I get some water? I need water. I need water. I need water, ma'am. Ma'am, please. PLEASE. I NEED WATER. I NEED WATER. I NEED WATER. I need water. I need water. I need water. I need water. I need water. Please, please, can I have water? >> Right after arresting the woman, the officers returned to the store and went over the entire incident with the staff to understand what had happened. >> She also failed to identify herself. So, just can you just tell me what happened before I got here? >> Yeah, no problem. So, I came out the lobby. There was her sitting over there and then another guy that was sitting over there that was uh I guess he was homeless or something like that. >> And then there was a family over here. So, I do our rounds. Every 30 minutes we have to do our rounds. Let's custom, hey, good morning. Um you have a 30-minute time frame while consuming food and then you know you have to be off the property. It's a 30-minut time frame. >> She didn't even consume any food. She was just sitting here using the Wi-Fi. And so she was like, "Who are you?" The white gatekeeper, "Ma'am, are >> ma'am, this is not even a confrontational thing right now. I'm just letting you know the rules is 30 minutes." Well, I travel the world and blah blah blah. Okay. Well, congratulations that you travel the world. I I don't need to know all that. I just need you to know that there's a 30-minut time frame and that's it. That's all I'm coming here to do. And then that's when she's got all she calling me names. Ma'am, I don't have time for that. Oh, you hate your mother. Oh, you you need to go get some and all this. I'm like, >> "What names was she calling you?" >> Uh, she called me a black and then she called me a black gay dude. Then she said, she just kept saying, you know, hateful things, you know. Oh, you you you here to um to control the white people. And ma'am, she's like, "Oh, you need to be in jail somewhere where all the black people is. You know where they want you." I'm like, "Ma'am, I don't care about all that cuz I have a degree. I I just applied for law school. I'm just waiting for them to say, "Oh, congrats." >> Yeah. I'm just waiting for my acceptance letter. That's it. So um all that unnecessary stuff man I can't you know I can't engage in that you know there's ethical things that I have to you know maintain I can't you know I can't do that so it's like the things that you're saying is very hateful and I really want to react but in the back of my head I'm thinking like you're just applying for law school. >> From the employees statement it became clear she took great pride in herself and believed she deserved special treatment even then she once again began boasting about everything else she had. doing anything wrong, sir? I have never been kicked out of a McDonald's and I've traveled this country 6 months. I'm a journalist. I'm not a nobody. I lived in Florida for 25 years. I have two sons at the University of I am not a homeless person. I am not somebody to be pushed around. I have a master's degree. I'm educated. I'm This is I don't know why you're doing this to me. Well, I don't do I just got here, so I'm just making sure everything's >> These are super tight and they're really constricting. >> All right. Well, I guess the issue was >> Why did he have to throw me down and break my glasses? Is my phone also broken? >> I don't know. I'll look into all that. I have to review everything. We have body cameras on throughout the entire counter. So, everything that happened, we'll see. Do you know why McDonald's called us about you? >> Because the for for days I have been working here. My >> work McDonald's. I'm a I'm a digital nomad. I'm a I'm a journalist and I'm also here because my son graduates from the university in May next month. I came down I also have another son, a freshman there as well and I came down to be a mom and to take a little vacation. I have been through a lot. I explained to the man that my mother was I have been taking a a journey to to deal with the grief of that. >> What's the connection to the Key West? Am I asking? >> My mother used to my grandmother used to be a court reporter here. >> Key West. Okay. >> The woman was charged with trespassing, resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct at a business establishment. Refusing to follow simple rules and escalating the situation only turned a minor issue into serious charges that could have been avoided. Next, the woman claimed to be a lawyer, but still needed a lawyer herself. >> And what did they give you the trick for? >> Um, I'm a lawyer. So, >> all right. >> Um, would you like to speak with me for a few minutes? >> No, I just want to talk to my attorney. >> Okay. >> On April 6th, 2023, officers received a report from a bank about an ongoing fraud scheme. The suspect was believed to be a woman who had been visiting multiple branches, withdrawing money using fake identification. This was what unfolded when police arrived at the scene. >> My partner with the girl. >> Okay. >> So, I just want to give you a little bit of a history without her hearing me. >> Okay. >> She's been coming into branches for the last few weeks taking money. Yesterday, we got a call from back office. She's not who she says she is. They've already blocked the account. We've confirmed with the client that this is not her. >> She's taken a lot of money from these people. She has an Pam, >> can I speak to you for a second? >> Yeah, sure. >> All right. Um, I guess there's What's going on with your account? >> I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out. >> All right. Do you have your ID with you? >> She has it. >> She has it? All right. All right. Um, what's her name? >> Grace. >> Yeah, she has all the information. >> Here, let's go over to the counter. >> I was going to use the restroom. >> Um, well, give it a second. All right. >> Okay. Thank you. It was clear she avoided every request from the police, escalating suspicion, and now even the details surrounding her check reinforce that. >> Um, it's right here. >> Okay. >> Um, and what did they give you the check for? >> Um, I'm a lawyer, so >> Okay. All right. >> So, it's for uh services? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. And you live in Coral Gables right now? Yes, I have an Airbnb that I'm doing in Biscaya. >> Okay. >> So, you try to >> All right. >> So, what does Larazza Enterprises do? >> It's um one of the um my my clients. >> Okay. With the like like what kind of work do you what what uh what what business are they in? >> Healthy. >> Um I'm not sure. It's my client. He wrote the the check. You >> say it was your client, but you don't know. Does it seem? >> No. >> Is a person or actual business? >> No, it's a person. >> So, everything is worth Immediately after, officers proceeded to gather additional statements from bank employees who further pointed out multiple irregularities in her behavior. >> He's been coming into two branches the last few weeks withdrawing money. We got um an email from back office yesterday that this is not the client. >> So, so um so this company they said did not issue >> this actual person. >> Uhhuh. >> Does not this is not her. >> That's not her. We we got emails yesterday from back office that that person >> has not came into a branch at all. Right. >> She lives in Coral Gables. That's where she does all her banking. She does not come to Delray. >> So So she's not >> That's correct. >> And uh we don't know who she is. >> That's correct. >> I have a client who needs a translator in the line. I'm not sure what she needs. She's sitting down. Thank you. >> Okay. >> She she came in yesterday and immediately after I did the transaction, we received emails from the um the representative for the client cuz they're actually kind of a high level client and um Enterprise. >> No, no, it's it's the exact same name as her. >> Um and there's also another signer on the account. So, it's the two of them. has nothing to do with any business, at least on their personal accounts, but that's where she's transacting is the personal account. The account number >> saying she's this a fake ID. >> It It's got to be cuz that's not her. >> Returning to the woman, she still did not realize that her actions had already been gradually exposed. So, she continued to conceal everything even when the police gave her a chance to be honest. >> Well, I have your driver's license in. What's your real name? That is I'll speak to my attorney. All right, >> you can do that. >> Thank you. >> All right, I'm going to place you under arrest. >> Yes, sir. >> Just set down. >> I'm just trying to make it >> comfortable for you. >> If you do it like you're praying, it's more comfortable. >> Let's grab this one. Should I put these things down first? All right. I'm placing arrest for fraud. >> Okay. >> All right. What we're going to do is I'm going to collect some information. You want to hang with her for a second while I get some of the supporting stuff? I guess you were here yesterday. You withdrew some money. >> Okay. >> Attorney. >> All right. >> And I spoke to the actual victim who said she doesn't know who this woman is. She doesn't know how she got her information. And she doesn't even know who this uh company is. >> Okay. But she was trying to um deposit and basically yesterday she deposited um >> yesterday she deposited a $5,800 check from some company called Axio and she withdrew 4,000 immediately after. So she stole 4,000 and today she was going to attempt to deposit that. I don't know how much she was going to withdraw. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Did you read Miranda? >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, he said you read he read you Miranda already. Do you understand all that? >> Okay. >> Um, would you like to speak with me for a few minutes? >> No, I just want to talk to my attorney. >> Okay. And you you said you did get the real her real name and everything. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> She was ultimately determined to have committed organized bank fraud and identity theft. Once financial records, victim confirmation, and witness statements aligned, the outcome became unavoidable, showing that fraud inevitably collapses under consistent verification and documentation. Next, the man believed he had gotten away with it. >> What going on? >> Why did I What did I do? boy in rehab for heroin. >> On the 18th of November 2025, the police received a call from a Walmart reporting a man who had been stealing items from the store. This was what happened when officers arrived at the scene. >> Okay. >> But I don't know 100% that he didn't already have that. >> Okay. >> That's fine. Um you um you bar cuz he comes in here all the time. He'll fill up buggies and he'll just leave it. I think he just walked around. >> Okay. Why not? >> You want to do a form or just do it? >> Um, we'll we'll verbally do it. I I'll go make contact with him. >> He's on the other side. She's just going to borrow him right now. We're going to check and see if he's got uh he's got a can of compressed air that he's been puffing in his jacket sleeve. If it's theirs, we'll we'll go about it from there. Uh >> no, he was just hanging out right over there. It's a gray puffer jacket, gray pants. So, they Best's not sure if that if he had that can on him when he came in, but he they know he's picked up some since he's been in here. >> Based on the identifying features captured on surveillance cameras, the police quickly approached the suspect, but the arrest did not go smoothly. What is the problem? Why you talk to me, bro? >> Going on taste. >> Why? What did I do? Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind. >> Listen to me. Put your hands behind your back. Tase me. >> Put your hands behind your back and >> we'll explain everything to you in one sec. >> Oh, hey. Fine. Sorry. >> Sorry. >> That was stupid. It was. It was very stupid. No, I'm fine. I'm good. >> Don't try to kick. >> I'm not kicking. I'm good. >> Roll over on your stomach. Oh my god, bro. >> Here, Chris. >> Yeah. I got >> I didn't do >> relax. I didn't even walked in with that when I walked in. >> Put your other hand behind your back. >> Fine. It's already you on me. How could I put a buck in my bag when you were on me? >> Sorry. I didn't mean to resist, but like I didn't I didn't do anything. >> You got my legs twisted. Sorry. >> I can't stand. >> Where' that bottle go? It's >> underneath that shelf right there. That bottle. the bottle. >> Can you pull my pants for me, please? 23 26. Am >> I doing decent exposure? Can my pants fall down? >> I'm not in the mood to do any favors right now. >> The man showed more concern for his appearance than for the crime he had committed, displaying no shame. As it turned out, this was not his first offense. Something the police discovered as soon as they brought him back to the LP office. >> You ever been barked from the Walmart before? You ever been arrested for shoplifting before? >> Where at? >> It's bridge. >> Walmart over there. How long ago was that? >> Um, sorry. I've been homeless. >> Um, I don't know, like a month ago. >> Okay. How long you been homeless? >> A month and a half. 3 months. >> Where were you at before that? >> Michigan. >> What about you down here? >> Rehab. going to rehab voice. >> That explained the man's strange behavior while speaking. At that point, the store had reached a conclusion regarding his actions. >> I just want to let you know that you're going to be, which it doesn't matter if you're really, you know, that you're going to be barred from our location for a period of 2 years. That's everything at 4375 Lexington Road. Um, this whole entire complex. If we see you back here, then we're going to call them back and have your permission. Okay. >> No trouble looking or anything? Okay. Ow, my face hurts. That hurt. >> Sorry. >> I think that's your beanie. >> My beanie. Thank you. >> All right. Let's head to the pharmacy. >> He's fine. I just He's just fine. I'll just >> No med. >> No. Fine. Get him somewhere else. Thank you guys. >> But it didn't end there. The police reviewed the surveillance footage to examine his earlier actions. While the theft charge alone might have allowed him to walk free, the resisting charge led to a very different outcome. >> Stand behind your back. >> Why? Why? >> Behind your back. All right. >> What? What happened? >> One more. I'll let you know here in just a second. Okay. >> What? Now what? >> What? Can you tell me now what what you're seeing now? >> All right. What's up? It's going to be I do believe it's going to be for the obstruction. Okay. >> Obstruction of what? >> What does that mean? >> When you try to fight us. >> I didn't try to fight you. I didn't know what was going on. >> We're going to go back over here. >> Obstruction? Are you serious? >> Obstruction? Are you serious? That's insane. Maybe I try to fight you guys. What would you do if someone just grabbed you from behind? I mean, what was I supposed to do? You didn't even say you were cops. Let's see what I really violation now, isn't it? >> If you're on probation. Yeah. >> He was charged with shoplifting along with resisting and obstructing law enforcement. Impulsive actions and repeated offenses only deepen the consequences. Resisting authority in a moment of panic can quickly turn a minor crime into a far more serious legal outcome.

We turn to this chaos that [ __ ] stupid, bro. Don't say that. >> Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me, bro. You do not have the right to touch me. On January 5th, 2026, officers were dispatched to a restaurant after receiving a report of a woman refusing to leave. They arrived promptly at the scene, but the situation did not seem simple at all. >> Issues before and then she left when they don't want you in. >> She just like, so I don't know. >> So, what do you guys want us to do then? >> What? >> I mean, you'll be ready in like 5 minutes. >> I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to them. >> Okay. Cuz they wanted you gone, but I didn't know you ordered food. >> How? What? >> It's the second time that they've called us to get you gone. >> Yeah. Second time. No one talked to you earlier. >> I'm an Austin. I love respect. Okay. >> You sure? I'm sure you are. >> I am. >> I'll give her the refund. Like >> whatever you guys want. >> Come on, baby. >> Do you guys mind waiting 5 minutes? So like that's ready. And >> I mean, if you guys don't want to leave before >> if you guys don't want her gone and she's ordering food, we're going to leave. But if you want her gone, >> we want her gone, but like she already ordered food. That's that's what I mean. It'll be like 3 minutes, >> but I'm not sure if she's going to leave afterwards. That's what I'm saying. Before she didn't want to leave, you know, >> what did you say? >> She was >> What does that sound? >> So then you see why she keeps coming back, right? Tres coming back. And if she does come back, we can arrest her and come back. >> Under the accusations from the store staff, it seemed those very claims irritated the woman. And shortly after she created a tense atmosphere >> PIZZA I don't care. >> You should care. >> No, I shouldn't. >> You should. >> No, cuz you've been NOTHING BUT ANNOYANCE. >> YOU WANT TO BE AROUND ME? >> EXACTLY. Now you see what's going on. >> Last time around. >> I DON'T MIND. I GET MY PHONE. >> GOOD. >> GOOD. NO IDIOTS PLAYING AROUND WITH PEOPLE COME HERE. >> REALLY? >> YES. >> YEAH.

So if you come back, you'll get arrested. >> Okay. >> So now we need Now we need an ID from you. >> Now we need your ID. >> Because we have to trespass you. >> No, you don't. >> YES, WE DO. The owner wants you. Now listen, if you don't give us Yes. Because Because you're being loud to me. Let me talk. Let me talk. Let me talk now. If you fail to >> Her lack of cooperation became increasingly evident, forcing the officers to issue a warning that her behavior could make things worse, but she did not seem to care at all. >> ID, then you'll be arrested for obstruction. If I had my ID, I would not be here. I'm trying to give me some food. I get the on. >> Okay. Well, we need your ID. We need your information.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TALKING ABOUT MY ORDER. >> Take payment for it. >> Yes. >> Before you guys >> Everything gradually descended into chaos and affected other customers, prompting the store to refuse service to her. Let's see what she did next. >> Stupid ass. YOU AIN'T THAT [ __ ] STUPID, BRO. [ __ ] your silly ass. Don't. >> I'm laughing at you. >> WHO THE [ __ ] YOUR STUPID ASS IN? >> ALL RIGHT.

Bro, >> you had to give us your name. >> I ain't got to give nobody no money. >> Not money. Name. Your name. N A N. >> Hey, where you going? You have >> The woman's behavior only dragged out the situation unnecessarily. The officers quickly made the decision to arrest her, but it was far from easy. >> Pretend you get some food and you're thirsty. >> Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me, bro. You do not have the right to touch it. >> You're going to be under arrest for obstruction.

You have a double, right? >> You have a double or two? >> I have a single on yours. We're going have to slide around. >> Put your foot in the car. You're going to Are you want to go in the car? Then put her in the car when she slept. Just drag her outside. Yeah. >> Out. Out of the car. Let's go. >> Easy. I said easy. Get out of my way. >> Get out of the car. Get the >> Get out of the car. Put your foot in. >> Ain't going no my right here. >> The woman was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest. Sometimes refusing to cooperate and letting emotions take control only turns a small situation into a serious legal consequence. Next, officers caught the fleeing women off guard. >> Hey ma'am, can I stop you real quick? >> Yeah. Can we just stop? Thank you. >> I know you don't got me. >> On June 13th, 2025, police received a report from Target about three women engaging in shoplifting at the store. Officers immediately arrived at the scene and swiftly stopped them, leaving the suspects in a state of visible panic. >> Hey, ma'am. Can I stop you real quick? >> Yeah. Can we just step inside? Thank you. >> You guys together? >> Yeah. >> You guys Yeah. Can you step inside, please? Thank you. >> What did I do? >> We'll speak in the end. I'm sorry. I didn't want to block the door. If you guys want to just head towards the the office right there. Okay. at this point. >> I just spent almost $200. Okay. The women appeared confused, not understanding what was happening to them. As the woman in the purple shirt was taken aside, officers explained the situation to the remaining woman. >> So, we got a call about um individual concealing items. Um basically shoplifting. Um so, we're just trying to determine what was taken. Um obviously, you guys came together. Um, if you pay for your items, then I document that I spoke to you. But if she took items, then she's going to be arrested, obviously. Okay. >> Okay. But >> I don't even know. I'm just >> You paid for your items? >> Yeah, I just went right here. >> Okay. That's all you got? >> I bought something. Baby clothes. Yeah. And stuff from my a caddy. Did you guys came with another person or is it just Easter? >> Uh my friend I don't want to I just walk around waiting for >> you can hold on to this. >> The suspect was identified as the woman in the purple shirt who had been taken aside first. This raised a key question. If the two had been shopping together, why did they have separate carts? And did she know about her friend's shoplifting? >> Only reason I got another cart is because the customer I mean the self checkout say 10 items or less and I clearly got way more than 10 items. Got >> so I went and got another card separated my stuff so I can pay for it. >> So if you if like I said if you didn't shop with us um if they did obviously they're going to be taken back to the police department um and then we'll sort it out from there. And if you're able to, if you want, you can just wait for them to be processed or you can come back and pick them up. >> But that's what we're just dealing with right now. So you're not, you know, >> wondering my phone back up again. I'm >> texting my girlfriend. >> Yeah, technically you're the team. So just like keep it away in the meantime. You know what I mean? I know it's a little overwhelming. Yeah. If she doesn't have any warrants and if she's not wanted for anything, then it's just a summon. So, we get her processed at the police department and then once she's released, you have >> it's e um >> you have a >> Yeah, when you look at it's 984. When you look it up, it it should be the first one that pops up. Emp this is >> you got Yeah, you got the screen that I can't see. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> No, you got it. That's it. 984 Tucker. >> What she even take >> little stuff? I don't know. I was told my own kid. So, the woman claimed she had no knowledge of her friend's wrongdoing. Yet, she showed no intention of cooperating with the police. Shortly after, officers proceeded to search the suspect's bag. >> It looks like the whole bag is still Yeah. >> Yeah. I would take the whole bag. Just >> the whole bag. >> How do you want to do it? Yeah. You want to do it that way? It's not bag. Okay. 2037. >> All right. Yeah, you can hang on to that stuff. >> We get there. Okay. >> All right. We'll meet you over there. >> If anything, you can call our main line if you have any questions, but we got to get them done with paperwork. Okay. >> It might take a minute. >> Yeah, we'll do um >> can we do >> if anything you're able to leave and come back? You know what I mean? They got their cell phones and you can pick them up later. It's up to you. While the woman in the white shirt was released after being confirmed innocent, one final woman remained, she was definitively identified as having committed the wrongdoing. Are you okay with me? >> It's just easier if I get you in and out. We don't got document on this property and stuff. I'll keep your driver's license. Where'd you park? Should we get >> I don't know where I know you don't search policy type thing, you know. real quick. I'm just going to check your waistband. Okay. >> Sorry. >> I do. Okay. Anything um kept in the front? Money? Anything? All right. Just going to shake the sides out. Mhm. Mhm. Cute. All right. All good here. >> No problem. Okay. It's goofy though. >> In the end, the two women were charged with retail theft, shoplifting. Even when surrounded by others, each person is responsible for their own actions. Choosing the wrong company or ignoring suspicious behavior can still lead to serious consequences. Even worse, the woman had even washed the items she had stolen. >> So, your justification for going and stealing other people? >> No, I'm not I'm not right for it. No, I did that. I did wrong. Goodbye. >> Hello. >> On July 1st, 2025, officers were dispatched to a residential area after identifying a suspect involved in theft who was determined to be an elderly woman named Donna. This was what happened next. >> Hey, how are you? Good. How are you? >> Good. Is Donna here? >> Yeah, she's here. >> Can I talk to her, please? bike. >> Tell me now. >> Hi, >> pups. >> Hey, Donna. How are you? >> I'm good. How are you? >> Good. Um, the dogs able to go inside so I can talk to you, please. >> To me? >> Yes. >> Hey, my glasses are in the car. >> No worries, Donna. >> Yeah. >> Um, I'm just walking over here so we can talk, please. You got your phone on you? >> No, >> not you. angle, right? >> You might You just grabbed mine? >> Yeah. >> All right, Donna, do you know why I'm out here today? >> I have no idea. >> No idea at all. >> Okay, so you were at Kohl's today earlier, right? >> Yeah. >> So, Donna, we have you on video going into Kohl's with a cart. >> Huh? >> And loading up approximately 30 to 35 packages. >> No. >> No. I I do. >> Not. >> How many was it? >> It was a lot. It's over $1,100 in stolen merchandise. It was evident that faced with the accusation, she showed concern on her face. But when asked about the reason for stealing, it became even more unbelievable. >> Okay. >> Why'd you do that? >> Um, I don't know. Cuz they owed me money. >> Because what? >> They owe me money. >> Coohl's owed you money? >> Okay. So, why would you go and steal other people's packages? >> Cuz they'll get the Kohl's will give their money back. >> Okay. So you're saying Kohl's owes you money. So your justification for going and stealing other people >> I'm not I'm not right for it. No, I did that. I did wrong. >> Um well, you're you're not free to go. So um you are detained at this point. >> Um so I'm going to have you walk over here with me. Okay. Do you have anything on your person I need to be aware of? >> No. I'm going have you walk on down here to my car. Okay. >> Okay. Let me >> just just hang tight, please. I'm trying not to put you in handcuffs. Okay. >> You made it to it. >> All right. Donna, I'm going to have you have a seat right here for me. Before I put you back here, I'd like to search. Make sure you don't have any weapons on you. without. >> It was clear that the woman fully cooperated with the police, but perhaps out of shame for her own wrongdoing, the officers soon faced additional difficulty in gathering her statements. >> Back to the house. >> I'm sorry. >> You want me to take all this back to the house? >> Um, if you want to. Thank you. >> You want me to tell them what's going on? >> Um, no. >> Okay. >> Where's the merchandise inside the house? >> Probably in the dryer. >> In a dryer, >> probably. All right. All right. Yep. >> Anytime. >> Ask if they can check the dryer and grab everything in it. >> Hey, Larry. It's off Kendrick G. How are you? Hey, good. Hey, so I'm going to have this female detained. I wanted to confirm the amount prior to me arresting her. Um, are we 100% that this is like $1,100 worth of merchandise that was stolen? Okay. Do we think it's over $1,000 at this point? Okay. Well, I've got my my colleague here grabbing all of the merchandise. I can probably get you a count um here in a minute if we can. Yeah, because if it's a felony, I I'm I'm going to have to arrest her. I have her detained right now um in the back of my car. >> Shortly after, the officers asked about her reason for stealing. She said she had done it because she owed money to someone, but the amount she owed was shocking compared to the value of the stolen goods. >> 60 bucks. >> $60. >> You stole like over $1,000 in merchandise. >> I didn't laugh. I don't have this. >> So, um, where do we go from here? >> Well, I'm waiting for the store to get me an exact price on what's going on. Okay. Um, so if if it is confirmed to be over $1,000, you're going to go to jail. >> Okay. >> Have you ever been in trouble before? >> No, I've never been in trouble. >> You've never been arrested? Never been had any encounters with the police? >> No. I mean, a ticket for turning right from a >> But no criminal activity ever. >> Criminal activity? No. >> Okay. >> Shortly after, an officer sought assistance from her family and proceeded to recover the merchandise from the location she had indicated. >> Is that all her stuff? >> I don't know if this is I mean, I don't pay any attention what she wears. >> Okay, maybe we'll just have her come and grab all the stuff for us. >> Yeah. >> Um All right. Give me a minute. I appreciate you checking. >> But we know what we did today is wrong, right? >> Well, definitely. Yeah. It's embarrassing. >> You know, I I didn't think that that anybody could see it. I mean >> Well, yeah. >> I thought the camera was over. >> Yeah. I mean, I can show you. >> I don't want to see it. I really don't want to see it. That's really bad. >> Don't want to see what? >> I don't want to see what I did. >> I'm just showing you >> what it look like. the pictures of you. That's all. >> All right. Hang tight, Donna. >> Okay. >> He They're trying to be helpful. >> The next issue the officers faced came from the stolen items themselves as they had been mixed together, forcing the police to have her personally identify and return them. >> I'd like to be glasses somewhere in my car or another. In the meanwhile, >> it's not dry though. >> So, you just came in here and threw it all in the wash? >> Yeah, I washed it lightly last minute. >> Hello. Is this all theirs? >> Yes. >> Okay. Was there anything that was taken that wasn't clothing? >> Uh, yeah. >> Okay. We'll get to that here in a minute. >> Okay. Uh Don, are you okay if I tell them what's going at least that part? What the next steps are? >> All right. Is it code three? Correct. >> Uh they're verifying the amount, but if it's over the amount, yes. >> Okay. So, they're checking the exact amount of calls. Um if it's over $1,000, she is going to go to jail tonight. If it's less than $1,000, she'll get summons and come to court at a later date. >> Okay. So, >> so that's all the clothing. >> So, if she get a bag for >> Okay. Um, can we ask them to grab a bag? >> Um, because it would be a felony, she would have to see a judge tomorrow morning >> and then whatever the judge says, bail, own release on owner cogn something of that nature. It's Kohl's as well, so we're going to take it. >> This is also Kohl's merchandise as well, according to her. 11 years. Well, I appreciate it. Sorry we had to meet on the this way. >> That's the truth. >> But like I said, if it's under 1,000, she'll be released tonight with a summon to court at a future date. If it's over a thousand, it's an automatic felony. So, she would have to go to jail tonight. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> It's going to be close. >> The woman was charged with felony theft. Her actions showed how a moment of poor judgment driven by a weak justification could quickly escalate into a serious felony with lasting consequences. Next, the employee found herself trapped in the consequences of her theft. So that's when she takes $200 bills. >> $200 bills and a $2 bill. >> Okay. You are being arrested for that. >> Can I call a force? >> You'd be able to at the jail. >> On July 5th, police received a report from a gas station about an employee stealing money from the store's cash register. Upon arriving, the manager clearly identified the suspect. >> That employee fired now? >> No, she's supposed to come in at 11. >> Um, what's her name? Um, but her real name is um Ozari. And >> this was yesterday. >> Yes. >> About what time? >> It happened around 9:57 p.m. >> $200 bill. >> $200 bills. >> She only takes a 100, but she tries to hide it. So, there's $200 bills there and $2 bills. I hope you can see it. >> Where does she hide it at? >> She's um got it in her either her hand or her pocket right now. So, it's in her pocket right now, but then she'll remove it and then she'll put a $100 bill. So, it's in her hand right now. She'll put a $100 bill in her apron pocket up here and only take $100 and $102 back out and do a safe drop of it. So, she took $100. >> Yeah. So, >> but she took 202 out originally. >> So, I don't know if you just seen her, but she just pocketed it right there. >> Yeah. >> So, there's $100 bills going into the pocket. >> Yeah. >> Only $102 coming back out. And she had 202. And then she does with the policy drop for 240, but we get that $100 bill back. >> Immediately after, the manager showed the police detailed footage of her actions. So that's when she takes $200 bills. >> $200 bills and a $2 bill. >> Okay. >> So they're in the same far left drawer. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> And then she What What is that that she puts under it? Is that the $100 bill? >> Yep. So there's 100 100 and then $2 bill on top. And then she is folding it up. >> What did she hide behind the phone? that I don't know >> if you don't mind backing up there because I looks like it was three bills that she had and then one was behind her phone. But y'all are $100 short. You said >> I see what you're saying. Yeah, we're actually $13 short. >> She put a $100 bill behind her phone is what it looks like cuz I think it's that top one here. >> Yeah. Well, it looked like she was just putting it over there. I don't know why, but that put it looked like Oh, no. Okay. It looked like she put it behind her phone, but she >> At the same time, the female suspect arrived for her shift, unaware of why the police were there. Quickly, officers approached her to explain the situation. >> Can you put your phone down for a second for me? >> Okay. So, uh, you stole yesterday $100 bill. >> I did not speak. >> And they want to report it. So, right now, you are being arrested for that. >> Can I go ahead? >> You'd be able to at the jail. I did not steal. Oh my god. >> Hey, I'm being arrested. >> Okay. Is that all the stuff you need? Is it just this bag? >> Okay. And this your keys? This all your stuff? >> This? Is this yours or this? >> No, that's mine. >> Okay. >> No, I'm supposed to get this. >> No, not right now. I'll be right back if y'all want to come out and let her know she farted. >> I did not. >> I didn't steal a $100 deal. >> You know, take a seat right there for me just one second. I'll talk to you in just a second. Okay. Central 1095. You can disregard the other units. I'm going ask her a few questions real fast and I'll come over there. So, just one if you want to just wait out here. It should be pretty quick. I'm going to read you such something. Okay. >> The woman continued to deny her actions, prompting the police to inform the manager to ensure the next steps in handling the case. >> I was going to see if she'll talk to me about it cuz she's saying she didn't do it and then I told her she's on video and she said that she didn't want to talk to me. Um, do you want to fire her? I guess cuz this has happened before and people aren't told they're fired so they come back to work after they're barred. >> Yep. >> So just you have to let her know that she is fired and then however long do you want to bar? >> Oh I don't know how long I need her for. >> Um we go usually up to two years but I I've seen a couple weeks but >> I'll go two years. >> Two years. Okay. If you want Have you ever bred anybody before? >> I have not. >> Okay. So literally all you have to say is you're barred for 2 years and that's literally it. So if you want to let her know that she's fired as well, you say, "Hey, you're fired." Or, you know, whatever y'all say for that. And just at the end say you're barred for two years. >> Gotcha. >> What's up, Miss McCall has to tell you something? >> So, you are terminated and you will be from our tour. >> Um, >> shortly after, the woman was taken to the police station where she began to feel remorse upon hearing what fate awaited her. Um, depending on what previous charges are or if you've been convicted of anything, um, you probably will be O bond. It'll still take a couple hours just cuz they got to fingerprint you and stuff. Um, but you'll be out of those thankfully cuz I know those are uncomfortable. >> Got to be out of my house by Thursday. >> By Thursday, you should be by out by Thursday. >> Even if I sound so stupid. >> I've been on probation before I did this. So, >> like I can't either. It happens. You know, they got a they got a business to run. So, I mean, that's the kind of position they're put in. They have to act on it. And it's not them that want to do it. It's management and everything like above them. There there's certain rules they got to do. So, >> I'm not even I'm bad at myself. I'm just not bad. >> Well, maybe you're taking it as like a learning experience. So, you still got your day in court. You kind of go from there. Like I said, it's so >> The woman was charged with theft. The lesson here is that stealing even small amounts at work is caught quickly, especially with cameras everywhere. And denial only worsens the consequences.
