Go to prison and get the out of my face, you dirty. >> Touch me. He physically assaulted me. >> Nope. He touched me. >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questions. Do you understand? >> Mhm. >> If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one. >> That's it. It's over with. >> Don't touch. Don't you really aing pig? You really a pig? You a pig. They erupted in rage, attacked the police, and even broke down in tears. That was what followed after their failed gamble of testing their luck. Once they broke the law, the ending was never going to end well. Here are the moments when shoplifterss push their luck at Walmart. One wrong step always leaves a lesson behind. Don't forget to like and subscribe to support us. First, the shoplifter thought she had influence and called the police to help her >> cuz she thought she was going to beat my ass. >> Where did she conceal it at? Uh, she concealed it in the main aisle. Like >> right now, I was telling her I was scared because like I'm kind of like somebody to the internet. >> On the 14th of April 2025, officers received a call from a woman who reported that she had been assaulted by store employees. But when they arrived on scene, the staff told a very different version of the story about that same woman. >> Yes. I mean, we have video footage, but >> did she steal? >> Yeah, she did. Well, she gave it back to me in the exit. >> Okay. >> Well, she threw it on the floor. but she comes in here all the time and she does this, but we've never gotten to apprehend her. So, when I approached her, um, she got mad. She's like, "Oh, you're going to stop me over $12." And I was like, "Yeah, we're going to stop you." So, I was like, "You can come to the office and we can talk about it." And she's like, "I'm not coming back with you. I'm not going to no office." And she tried to leave. And I was like, "If you leave with it, then we're going to have to call the cops and get them involved." >> She's the one who called us. >> Yeah, she called you guys. >> So, you're grabbing on her. >> What the hell's the matter with you? >> Yeah. No, I didn't. I didn't touch it at all. >> Do you want just a >> And you loading up the stolen grills. I already know it, >> man. >> This girl in all gray. >> Yeah, that's weird. >> What did she steal? >> It was Eio body oil. Two bottles. >> Do you want to do anything about it? >> I do. Just because she's done this several times here and she's gimon. >> Why is she following Beck in? >> Um cuz she said she was going to beat my ass. Where did she concealed it? >> Uh, she concealed it in the main aisle. Oh, >> like on her person or in that bag? >> Yeah, in the bag. She bought a pair of AirPods back in tech. >> Okay. >> Then while she was walking up to the front, she put them in the bag. >> Okay. >> It was revealed that the caller went there and was stopped by employees after they suspected her of shoplifting. Evidence from the store proved they were right. >> Can I see like her exit picture coming out of >> Yeah. >> There. How much is the value for today? >> Today is $25.98. But she's got a >> she has prior. Yeah, her total proven is uh 450 here. >> Do you have open cases on those? >> No, cuz they were lower dollar. Um and this one we recovered. Um so the rest of them we don't have open cases on. >> Okay. Do you want to do anything with her saying she's going to beat your ass or no? Just retail. >> Just >> at that moment, officers approached the woman and she was immediately detained. >> What's your first name again? >> Chitaara. Okay. Can you stand up for me? >> All right. He's just going to place you in handcuffs. Okay. >> Do you want to take that off? You're going to be out really quickly. >> Okay. Cuz he says it's going to be cold back there. >> It'll be a little cold, but she's not going to be back there that long. >> 10 15 minutes. >> No more than 30 minutes, I would say. >> So, don't don't >> I Yeah, leave everything you can here with him. >> That way, it's not going in our lockup. >> Thank you. Hands up to the front, man. That's a lady to the front. She ain't going. She this big >> boy do their job. >> So let me know. >> She taking a video of you. Huh? >> It's not tight though at all. Yeah, >> he's just double locking them so they don't get tight around you. >> She showed no sign of embarrassment even in front of people she knew. And her upbeat attitude became even more obvious as she was escorted away by the officers. >> Where's not talking? >> I'm like, >> you'll just say 95 >> 95. There you go. >> So, don't try to get him to train him. >> He's new. I got to train him. >> No, don't. I'm not the dummy to test. >> No, no, no, no. >> You're just his first like uh person. He's detained like this. So, >> this is perfect game. >> Easy one. We got a real criminal on our hands. >> I'm already going to [ __ ] on myself. >> Say it. 95. >> 95. >> Left left. Mr. Tar, can you put your left shoulder against this wall right here for me, please? Go ahead and put your gun up. >> I'm right here. I know I know she said they going to ask for that. >> They're not hard to find anyway. >> I know, right? >> They're not that scary how >> [ __ ] is crazy how just like right now I was telling her I was scared because like I'm kind of like somebody to the internet and you know when people go to jail or take mug shots it's get on >> we we don't uh release them unless you're a serious offender so you're Facebook not going to happen. >> You can turn your camera. No, we're going to release. >> Chhater Connor was charged with retail theft. Sometimes the fastest way to get caught is believing you are untouchable. Calling the police to escape accountability only turns suspicion into certainty and confidence into consequences. Next up, the former shoplifter returned and she did not forget to bring chaos. >> I'm sorry, but maybe it's time for them to see your face. >> You can. You can because you're being recorded right now. >> Go to the ER. If I don't go to the ER, you're going straight to prison. >> Sure. >> On the 18th of June 2025, police accidentally approached a woman who was believed to have previously stolen at Publix and had now returned. But it seemed that this reunion between them would not be pleasant. This was what happened at that time. >> You haven't been here in a while and all a sudden you pop back up and I know you steal stuff before. >> Oh, I've stolen it. So, it's time to tell the FBI. >> Yes. >> But let's actually You're fine. >> Don't worry about I I just don't and I'm >> cuz there's no reason to put any of that stuff in your backpack when you come up here. >> I did exactly what I need. >> My job is exactly. Thank you. >> And it's buy one get one correct. >> I have my routine for everything else. But my phone's on 1%. So make sure you get his ID and mine. If you don't get his you don't get mine cuz my phone died. Okay. But make sure you get these items on receipt cuz Pozi is done. >> Sorry. >> Don't be sorry to me cuz you're the one that's concealing all that stuff in your background. >> I'm sorry, but maybe it's time for them to see your face. >> You can. You can because you're being recorded right now. >> Thank God. >> The woman clearly showed her irritation toward the officer she had encountered before. And it did not stop there. She also tried her best to confuse and overwhelm the cashier. was going to make sure that the wine is also a replacement bottle because I have a picture of that receipt before. Um, so I have the the buy one get one free was that 50. I have the receipt for that because I I had to return the other one, but she said I got it on buy one get one. So she said to grab the other one. I just saw her >> brown mouth hair glasses on. I'll show you. >> She said to Oh, my phone. Hold that. Okay, I can hold >> Write your name down and give me your review tomorrow. Okay, >> also write off just write that information down. Write off it and hold that with them. >> I'm not going to do that cuz I mean you just get one. Take care of that. >> I need the receipt. >> I have my phone back. So I can't do anything until I >> So did you want me to save it then until you're ready? This >> and you'll be in. >> Yeah. Okay. So you want me to just hold everything or >> hold everything? I took a picture of him. We'll charge it up. The only thing I want is a bottle of wine. >> Okay. So, let's just And then I'm going to have you do a a sequence of scans. Okay. >> So, $15.9 every single one of them except for this, but make sure you only do the ones that look old. >> That look old. No, look at the number. You have to look at the ones that have already been used first. this. No, take your time. >> It seemed that this time she had learned from her previous confrontation with the police. But after successfully completing her payment, she did not forget to throw a challenge at the officer. >> Still have five. Now you're going straight to >> and I hope it's seven bullets in your hand. >> Yeah. Okay. Have a nice day and get out of here and don't come back. >> Don't come back here. You hit me and you go to jail. >> If he touches me ever, >> I'm fully >> Get out of here. >> Filing a full report. >> Get out of here. If you ever >> get out of here, goodbye. >> This is where it is done. >> Go. >> Prison for the rest of his life. >> Get out of here or you going to jail. GO. >> GO TO PRISON and get the out of my face. You dirty. >> Go. >> Touch me. You have it on camera. He touched me. >> No. >> You have it on camera. >> She clearly moved toward the man, prompting only a slight defensive response from the officer. The only real act of aggression in that moment came from her. And that action brought her an immediate lesson. He physically attacked me. >> No, he touched me. >> Nope. You have it on camera. He touched me. You have it on camera. He touched me. He had no right to touch me. I'm protecting myself. I protected myself after he touched me. >> I have it on camera. >> No, he touched me. I have it on camera. He touched me. >> I had on full camera. He touched me. I had on full camera. He touched me. I had on camera. He touched me. I had on camera. He touched me. I had on camera. Yeah. I kicked HIM IN HIS NECK AFTER HE TOUCHED ME. HE HAD NO RIGHT to touch me. He touched me. You have no right to [ __ ] touch me. You have no [ __ ] right to touch me. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ME. NO, >> NO, I SHOULD NOT. >> NOW YOU'RE BLEEDING. BACK UP. BACK UP. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. My head is bleeding. >> Okay. >> Get him off of me. >> I need the handcuff. >> Get him off of me. >> He struck him. >> NO, I DIDN'T. YOU'RE A LIAR. >> He wouldn't. He backed off. >> No, he didn't. He literally touched me. He shocked me twice. >> You have everything. Pull over and put your hands. >> The shameless woman turned around and accused the officer as if she were the victim. Her words grew more and more outrageous and irrational by the second. >> Don't go to the ER. You're going straight to prison. Sure. >> Oh, it's a joke. >> No, you don't get to take my panty pack off. Ouch. Ouch. You don't get to do that. >> You are ripping my body. >> It's like a test tub. >> It is literally stuck to me because of what he did. >> And you're stuck to me. Let him tell him to let me go. Say no. >> Tell him to let me go. >> Just come over here. >> Really? Just come over here so they don't see it. >> So they don't see it. So they lie. So you lie. >> It is stuck to my body. You need to take me to the ER. >> Wash my hands. >> Yeah, cuz you're a lying bastard. You got kicked to the nuts cuz you break since you were 15. >> We've been 15 years old in this community while he raped people. >> I'll hold on to what you got to do. Do what you got to do. I'll hold on to her. Okay. >> Yeah. Do what you got to do, bro. >> No, I won't stop. you for making him the best guy. >> You literally have something stuck in my body. >> That's what he did. >> Yes, he tased you. >> No, he lied. I paid for my and he still tried to rape somebody. Guess what you get? >> Cuz I'm not the one lying. >> So now it's time. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I sold it. >> She turned the entire situation into something about herself and wasted an excessive amount of resources. Even the medical check she had personally requested became something she made unnecessarily difficult. >> So while you're going to jail, >> he's going to prison. He literally raped and assaulted me. He touched me un unequivocally and yes, straight to the hospital. You want to go to the hospital? >> Yes, please. And send him straight to prison. I want my house keys in my satchel. Can I see my house keys, please? I would like to see all of my property cuz I had items I had to take back to the store. I had so much stuff in there. So, we need to check my items. So, let's go Prince to my items. Let's go. I didn't steal anything from this store. So, therefore, I have no right to be trespassed. I need all He's going straight to prison. I need all of my stuff checked. I didn't steal anything. I didn't take anything. I didn't touch anything. All of my items should be straight in my purse. One. No, he doesn't get to take anything out. I need my keys and I need my bag. >> All right. Do you want to go to the hospital to ambulance? >> Yes, I said so, but I'm not being charged for that. I want my I want to make sure that I have my house key. But first and foremost, I just want my property. Okay. So >> that that's that's >> Okay. So as as an officer, I'm not under arrest. Can we step towards my property here? Here we go. >> I'm going towards my property right here. Right here. >> Hold on. Yes, I am. I'm checking my property. >> Stop. Ma'am, can you check my property and make sure my house keys and everything are in it before they touch my stuff? >> I'm not allowed to. >> They are legally illegally touching my stuff. And they are illegally trying to take advant No, stoping lying. You disgusting bastard. I'm soing sick of you nasty. You now have your >> In the end, Alicia was charged with resisting an officer without violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. Playing the victim, refusing accountability, and turning a small encounter into chaos only leads to harsher outcomes. A moment of self-control could have prevented jail time, probation, and lasting damage to her record. Next, the woman became visibly angry as her plan fell apart. >> So, basically, they saw her concealed merchandise, right? She got to the um register and she only paid for >> he come back and say, "You don't see me stealing on the camera. You're not going to apologize. So, just be quiet." >> On September 13th, 2025, officers received a report from Sephura about a woman who concealed merchandise and only paid for the cheaper items before attempting to leave the store. At that point, the officers already had certain investigative information regarding the incident. >> So, basically, they saw her concealed merchandise, right? She got to the um register and she only paid for some and she didn't pay for all. And then she exited the store. So, that's what they grabbed her. When they grabbed her, she has stuff for other stores. So, they went to the stores to find out, you know, if they wanted to prosecute. Um, all the other stores. They just wanted to merchandise back. However, Burlington does want to, but she's claiming that she paid for it. So, they're just trying to remove the camera cuz she has pillows that she paid for, but the sheets they're saying she didn't. So, they're just trying to look at the camera on her receipt. >> It's not on the receipt. >> No, cash, you know. So, they're just trying. >> You still got You still got a receipt. >> If it's not on the receipt, >> I don't know. Where are they? Where are they? When they approached the woman, she claimed everyone was deliberately blaming her and was even ready to argue with them. >> So he come back and say, "You don't see me stealing on the camera. You're not going to apologize. So just be quiet." >> Listen, I'll apologize. Cuz I wasn't even talking because you just said something that >> But I wasn't even talking to you. >> But you're talking about me and I'm not going to earn. >> Okay. But you can hear me. That's fine. >> Okay. All right. So this is We're not doing this. >> Yeah. You don't have to just No. Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> No, I don't know what >> both of them on the counter. I think >> I don't even It's $30. >> So, the one9. >> So, you guys saw the video and you have it. Okay. How much were the other stores? >> Uh, all the receipts are right there. So, we return now. They don't want to prosecute. >> Yeah, but Gap has over 250. >> Gap has over 250. >> They took it away. >> They took the comfort. >> Yeah, they have it already. >> In the face of the officer's actions, she completely ignored them and did not admit any guilt. And the classification became quite complicated because she had stolen from three different stores including this one. >> And this was the stuff she paid for. >> She was all the other stuff. >> All the other stuff was >> You want to search it back? >> She has it was open. Um, but we're going to open it in headquarters anyway. >> Can you put my I want my battery to die. That's good for me. I'm getting >> No, it's on time. But it's my alarm. >> You got all the numbers you needed, you said? >> No, I just don't want it to die because I I probably got move. >> I'll let you turn it on. Yeah, I'll turn it on over there then when we get to headquarters. >> Yes. These are >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Those are ours. The other stores did not press charges against her and she used that to argue that she was innocent. >> You guys feel good? >> Yeah. >> Bye. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. >> What's up, bro? >> Where you been? >> That's why they don't want That's why they don't because they >> I actually bought it all the time. >> Nah, you can't you can't open that. >> I'm not going to lie. Like I'm already in trouble. >> I didn't see the video. >> No, he said it. He watched it like he kept watching it like all the time. >> He said he just can see me only having um the pillows in my hand. Yeah. You go like that though. >> It's quick. It's quick. Okay. All right. Let's get there quick. >> What? >> They not. >> If you can start just removing your shoes, taking those shoe l. And then we just need everything from here as well. All that. >> So all the jewelry that you have on, everything. We're going to put everything in a bag. >> This one doesn't have a receipt. The gap one. >> What? >> The gap. You have a receipt. You have a receipt for the gap. I don't I don't know what they >> already the receipt for the gap. Yeah, they were $8 each. >> Okay, that's it. I want to just keep everything there. So, >> yeah, we got little earrings. >> Yeah. >> Pair of sneakers. >> Pair of sneakers. Yeah. >> You took my money from the earrings. >> Yeah. I got to count now. Who's Patricia Brewster? Is that you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. The suspect was formerly charged with retail theft for concealing merchandise and exiting the store without full payment. When someone hides behind technicalities instead of taking responsibility, it only deepens the consequences. Avoiding accountability may delay judgment, but it never erases the truth. Next up, this girl had faced a memorable lesson in her journey into adulthood. >> You just turned 18. >> Okay. So, as an adult, >> you have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questions. Do you understand? >> Thank you. >> On the 24th of May, 2024, officers responded to a report from a store about a theft committed by a girl. When they arrived at the scene, signs of regret already seemed visible on her face from the very first moments. >> All right. >> I'm being scared to still. >> Yeah. Yeah, you're good. >> All right. >> Did you feel yourself or no? >> No. Are you going to >> I want to speak to my dad first and I need my phone cuz I don't have his phone number. >> Okay. You need to identify yourself. So, put your information on the piece of paper and we will call your dad. Yeah. Okay. You're 17. It's not how it works. You are not free to go and you're not free to do whatever you want. You need to identify yourself. We will call your dad, but you don't have the right to not identify yourself until your dad talks to you. Okay? You don't have that right. Just making that clear. If you don't want to identify yourself now, that's fine. We will charge you with something else. You are required to identify yourself. >> You are not free to go. You have to identify yourself. >> You can think about that. >> You got her phone. >> Huh? >> You got her phone? >> No, she said her boyfriend had her phone. Whoever she came with. >> You don't know where he's at? >> No, he left out the moment I left. >> The girl initially claimed she was 17, likely hoping to avoid being charged as an adult, but under pressure from the officers, her true age was eventually revealed. Um, so you have any sort of identification on you? >> No ID, nothing on you. Uh, what about your Who were you here with? >> What's your name? >> My name is Zane. >> Zane Torres. Okay. All right. Do you know your parents number? Anybody's number? >> I know my phone number. I can call it and ask him to get my dad's number. >> Who's boyfriend? Okay, cuz we need to contact somebody. What's your date of birth? Here's the thing. Okay, the more difficult you make this, the more charges that you're going to get on yourself and the more difficult you're going to make is the charges. >> Okay, but here's the thing. One charge is better than multiple charges. Do you see what I'm saying? Okay, you're how old? >> Just turned 18. >> You just turned 18. Okay. So, as an adult, okay, having one charge versus multiple charges, right? And showing that you're uncooperative >> is a different listen. I I understand that, but I just I understand that. But here's the thing. You're saying you're an adult. You're 18 years old. >> Technically, we don't have to give you the opportunity to talk to your dad. You're an adult. You can talk to him at the jail. >> Okay? But it's also dependent upon how cooperative you are with us. We're not trying to make this difficult. We're not saying you're a bad person. Just may have made a bad decision. But we need to be able to identify you, right? And we need to be able to know who you are. And one charge versus maybe multiple charges and showing that you're uncooperative with us is not a good look. We're trying to help you out here, okay? as best as we can. What's done is done already. You see what I'm saying? >> After the officers reminded her of the consequences, she became more cooperative during questioning. It seemed that her personal circumstances were also somewhat concerning. >> You see what I'm saying? Okay. And then what is where do you live at? >> Um, so I used to live down in Miami with my mom. >> Okay. >> But I wanted to move out. >> So I moved in with my sister. Okay. >> And then me and my sister had a problem. >> So now I'm not moving anywhere. >> Okay. You don't have a place where you lay your head? >> No. Where where are you staying in the meantime? >> I just been working at night and trying to stay up. >> Okay. >> It's okay. Listen, I you're probably scared cuz you probably never been in this situation before, right? >> Okay. But take a deep breath. We're not Nobody's going to hurt you. Nobody's going to do anything bad to you. But we understand that bad decisions happen. You're still very young. Okay. That's why we're trying to help you out here. Okay. >> There's no way. >> What's your No, it's okay. What's your phone number so we can try and get dad's phone number? >> Um 682 9373. >> What's your boyfriend's name? >> That's okay. You don't have to give that. But that's your phone number. Is he going to answer if I call? >> Yeah, just >> I hope he answers. Just keep calling over. He'll figure out that. >> And you said, "Do you have a Florida driver's license, ID, anything?" >> Yes, I have my social ID. >> Okay. What? Do you know your social hand? >> No. Okay. But you have a Florida driver's license. There you go. Thank you. >> Makes it much more easier for us. Okay. Have you ever been arrested before? >> Never. Okay. >> At that moment, the officers read her Miranda rights, and it seemed that every word spoken weighed heavily on her until tears began to fall. >> You have the right to remain silenced. Do you understand? >> Do we just need a loud verbal yes or no? >> Yes. >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questions. Do you understand? Thank you. >> If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, what will be provided for you before questioning without charge? Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Has anybody has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to me? >> No. >> Having having these rights in mind and knowing that you understand, do you wish to answer any questions that we have? >> No. >> I mean, it depends on what the questions are. >> Well, we just need a simple yes or no. That's why we read the rights here. That's why we read the warning. So that way you understand that you do have rights. Okay? So we can't ask you anything. We can't do anything if you say no, which is your right. If you don't want to talk to us, that's fine and we respect that. But if you do and you want to explain your side of the story, then you can talk to us and then we can better understand what's going on here. But that's that's up to you. You were still you can call dad from jail. >> With all procedures completed, the officers decided to place her in handcuffs. At just 18 years old, this was likely the harshest and most sobering lesson of adulthood she had ever faced. >> You're being placed under arrest. Okay. For grand. You have anything on you that's going to stick to us? Anything of that nature? Okay. Cross your mouth. >> Can I get a photo before you got to take her? >> We're just searching her. >> Face the wall for me. >> Okay. >> Before you get in the vehicle, the vehicle's been searched prior and will be searched after anything is found in the vehicle. It's going to be on you. >> Okay. Is there anything that you have on stuffed in you in your pants and your shirt and your socks that you >> I'm not wearing any undergarments. >> Okay. Well, I'm just asking you anything on you that you should have on you cuz anything you produce into the car. >> No, I don't have anything. >> Okay. Hold on. Hold on. What are you doing? Hold on. Right there. taking any pictures. >> It's not you're in charge of any of this. You're not. >> You have no options. >> You're going to jail and your picture is going to be online. Like all this is happening tomorrow. >> Just look at the camera for a moment. So >> thank you call your dad from the jail. >> I got to print out another one for you. This is >> Thank you. We'll bring whatever to the car. >> Okay. We appreciate it. >> And then in reference to the other thing, just let us know. She was charged with grand theft for taking merchandise valued at approximately $1,200. Taking responsibility early, cooperating with authorities, and facing the truth with honesty would have limited the damage. One bad decision can happen, but doubling down on it often turns a mistake into a lifealtering lesson. In the next case, chaos occurred because of this brat man's anger. Listen to music. >> Listen to the music. I HAVE MUSIC PLAYING right now. Actually, what I was SAYING WAS THAT DON'T DO IT. >> On the 11th of January 2025, officers were dispatched to a convenience store after a trespassed man returned to the property despite previously being banned for theft. When they arrived, a heated confrontation erupted with open hostility. >> You're not listening to music. >> Listen to the music. I HAVE MUSIC PLAYING RIGHT NOW. I actually What I was saying was that I knew you WERE GOING TO RIDE UP to me AND DO THIS JUST LIKE LAST TIME. OKAY. YOU JUST WATCH. YOU JUST YES, the it is. It's on THE SAME EXACT DAY last year. IT'S ON THE SAME EXACT DAY. WELL, I'm eating right now. You're going to have to wait till I'm done eating. You feel me? You just watched me the whole entire time and that's what I was saying that you're going to do. You feel me? I just said all of that. EVERYTHING THAT I JUST SAID. >> Give me a minute. Give me one minute. >> It was clear that he did not cooperate and as a result, chaos erupted when he resisted arrest. >> That's it. It's over with. Don't touch me. Don't Don't do it. >> County 837. >> Get off me. >> I have get off. Get off me. Get off me. Get the >> 307 to 30. >> 27.

SUCK MY [ __ ] >> HEY YO, CHILL OUT. >> HEY YO, you >> suck my >> The chaos showed no signs of ending quickly as he grew more aggressive by the minute, clinging to excuses that became increasingly ridiculous. >> STOP RESISTING. >> TURN OVER. >> Stop resisting. >> Go ahead. >> You just touched me for no reason. >> JUST STOP RESISTING. CUT FOR NO REASON. >> Hey yo, >> get the >> chill. >> Get off of me. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> Get off of me. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> Get off of me. >> Now it's a backup.

No matter how unfair someone believed things were, staying calm and cooperating would always protect them more than lashing out ever could.

I'm glad they did. >> She told me she had purchased it. >> I said, "Did you purchase with a cash or with a card?" She said she purchased no her parents bought it for her. So then she >> What did you think about her constant interruptions and relentless objections? Leave a comment below. Shortly after, officers quickly uncovered the lies hidden within her statements. >> I'm 37. You're 37? >> I was looking for a chair for my handicap and I came back in here. I don't need You were born, >> Ma'am. Candace, you were born in 95. >> 1985. >> But you're 37. >> Yes. >> Why are you lying to me? >> No, my birthday is January the 29th, 1985. >> 85. >> 1985. >> 85.

So when we come back when my uncle paid for the TV, if I don't have my receipt, >> can I refund the TV? Or if I don't have my receipt, I won't be able to purchase it. I won't be able to refund it. Period. So once I purchase the TV, so once I purchase the TV, I won't be able to refund it if I don't have a receipt. Correct, Miss D? >> So even though she admitted the incident had happened, she still refused to take responsibility for it. To make matters worse, another officer soon uncovered her prior criminal history in the system. >> Um, one last question. Convictions is it before it's a felony cuz she's got I'm looking three. He's got Yeah, he's got to have three prior convictions. >> Okay. So, I see. >> Anything after that's felony. >> Yeah.

If you do it that way, you know, the business, you're at Walmart, right? >> I'm sorry. Yeah, Walmart. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you if you took them to jail, then Walmart would sign the warrants. >> Oh, yeah. That is true. >> Okay. >> Up to you, though. >> Yeah, I got you. All right. Appreciate it. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Bye. >> Based on everything they had gathered, officers made the decision to arrest the woman. But even then, it was far from simple as she continued insisting she had done nothing wrong. >> That's your signature? >> Yes, sir. I got a doctor. >> Okay. >> You want to become a doctor? >> No, ma'am. Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh, no. What' I do? >> You're fraud. >> I didn't. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I'm going to jail for what? >> Yes, ma'am.

Can I get my phone? >> Will get your phone. Yes, ma'am. >> I don't have a multiple. >> It says for what, sir? >> This is just your trespass warning. >> It's just saying that you understand you're barred from the property. This has nothing to do with your criminal history. He's saying your criminal history showed that you have shoplifting prior. That's why you're getting arrested. >> But I don't have any shopping. >> I have nothing to do with any of your previous stuff. So, like I told you earlier, I told you that they write tickets for people who don't have a history. You said you didn't. Apparently, that's not true. >> So, I have a history. >> Yes, ma'am. You know that. >> No, I don't. >> Yes, ma'am. You do. >> No, sir. I don't put my hair on. >> Yes. We'll get your phone. I took my picture of this. >> Can I have your phone? >> The woman was charged with attempted shoplifting, attempted refund fraud, formally trespassed from Walmart for 2 years, and ultimately taken into custody due to her criminal history.

Who's the dad? >> He's not here. >> Where is he at? >> He's in yellow. Did he give permission to his kid being in in this country? >> Did the dad give permission to his kid be outside? >> So you have full custody of him. >> Yeah. >> You have the paper for that? >> For the full custody. >> Yes.

They then exited separately, acting as if they were completely unrelated. What they did not know was that police were already waiting outside. Hey, come here. Come here. Drop your bag.

For now, >> do you have your gloves? >> Yeah. >> Just do a quick search for you can do more thorough. >> Okay. Look, right now you're under arrest for retail theft. Okay.

They watched you push your cart out of the store for all those items without making an attempt to pay for any of them. >> Okay, I'm not going to ask you any questions right now, but I'm telling you that's why you're under arrest. I'm going to search you. Do you have anything that's going to stick me, poke me? Needles, knives, nothing like that. You sure? Okay. Spud your feet for me. >> I'm going to unzip you. Mhm. >> Raise your hands to me. What is this? >> That's a uh >> voice. Yeah. The tag removal device spoke for itself, standing in place of the woman's unspoken admission of guilt, while the other woman was simultaneously approached by additional officers. >> Anyway, >> correct. She walked past the point of sale. >> Okay, put your hands on your back. Both of them. >> Help me here. >> Yep. two. >> Yeah, I'll go a second. I'm going to bring over to my >> All right. What's your first name? >> Precious. >> All right. We're going to go over to my car. >> Uh, >> no. We're going over here. Oh, >> I was just asking about my purse. Is it going to stay with me? >> Is it got actual stuff in it or is it all stolen? >> My purse is my stuff. Well, we got to figure out which purse is your purse. We'll get it all sorted out. >> She only cared about her belongings and showed no remorse. And the officers discussed what had occurred. >> She had a security detaching device in her on her possession. Oh, and then she had some type of credit card with information on it. >> Credit card with some information. >> I didn't get a good look at it. >> I was going to make sure Egg's fine. Um he did a quick we did a quick search of her just so we could get her in the car >> cuz also I thought I saw hands go up in here and I thought I was coming over to help you guys. >> This purse too check out. Yeah. >> So, if we can divide and conquer, if I go with one person, you go with another >> somebody else. She like put a belt out and it's all in the purse. >> Finally, they were charged with retail theft. Edna was sentenced to 4 months in jail, while Precious received 90 days in jail with one year of probation. And together, they were ordered to pay nearly $1,600 in fines. Calm denial and careful planning meant nothing once clear evidence appeared. And every dishonest action eventually led to unavoidable consequences. These women's plan collapsed as they blamed each other. >> She has the thigh tattoo. >> Is she wearing shorts? >> She is. >> She just got a thigh tattoo recently. >> Yeah, that's ours. You're going to jail. >> You're deleting things. >> No, I'm not deleting anything. >> On July 16th, 2024, police responded to a report from a bank regarding a fraud incident at the location. Upon arriving at the scene, officers approached the suspect while she was completely unaware that she had been detected. >> Hello, ma'am. >> Hello. >> Hi. We need to dock you for a minute. >> Okay. >> I'll hang on to this. Okay. >> All right. Can we go over here real quick? >> Yeah. >> Your friend asked you to bring her over here or >> Yeah, cuz her car needs to be um repaired for the brakes and something underneath the bottom. >> Oh, I don't know. >> You don't know what she's doing there? >> No. Okay. Um, at this point you're not free to leave, okay? And we are going to be asking you questions that are uh incriminating in nature or could be incriminating in nature. So, I'm going to reach your Miranda warning. >> What happened? >> She didn't try to stick the plate that way. >> What happened? You didn't try to stick the plate up like that. >> Yeah, it's not that bad cuz this would have been totally different if we had more, you know. But >> I see you guys are like two cars, three cars. I seem like another car >> forward because mine is over there >> with these rights in mind. Are you willing to talk to us? >> Yeah. >> Perfect. Like I said, I don't have any questions right this second. But um except for some I guess preliminary stuff, but um what are you uh what are you doing today? >> Um I was just trying to cash a bond that I received. >> A bond that you received. Okay. Where'd you get the bond from? >> Um I actually got it from my cousin. >> Yeah. I don't know the whole story, so that's why they're trying to figure out, you know, I was going. >> And do you know where she got the bond from? >> Um, no I don't. >> Okay. >> Um, I know that it was from my grandmother who passed away and she skipped me and told me that I couldn't do it. >> Just as previously reported, these individuals attempted to come here to cash their bond, but the document turned out to be problematic. >> Same thing, Art. >> Where did you uh where did you leave? Same checks. >> Yeah, they look like they're printing them off a printer thing. But what's getting them caught up is this. >> You got a check dated for 92 and you were born in '96. >> Um, and are you going to families or are you coming from family? >> So, um, I Well, I was home and then I was going to my and I was actually on my way back home >> cuz she hit Daytona, Orange Beach. a couple of other stores and they all denied her and she came here. >> You're getting wet. You want me to get out so I can stand under there so you're not getting wet? >> I can't. What? >> You want to be easier to arrest me? >> No, I'm serious. >> So, right now, I don't know. I just read you those reds, you know, so I can ask specific questions. Okay. Um, for now, I don't see why we can't let you go unless they, you know, have a different story to tell or what else. So we just got, you know, a call saying that she wrote was in this part. So that's why, you know, you're not freely. >> It's up to you. Whatever. >> No, it's not funny. >> Because what is this? >> The female driver appeared completely tense in response to what the officer presented, causing police to question whether she knew anything about what was going on. >> Who's the person driving? And uh >> that's baby. baby. Whose baby do you? >> She's my friend. >> Your friend. Okay, I got you. Um, was she with you all day or how did you put baby her baby? >> Um, she took me up from my home. >> From your house. Okay, so she went to your family and everything. >> Okay, I got you. All righty. Um, did did she know that know that you had this bond and everything like that? >> Um, I mean, she dropped me off. >> I got you. Did you tell her what you uh you were coming in here for, or you just told her you need to go to the bank? >> No, I just told her I needed to come in here. Okay, I got you. No worries. All righty. You appreciate it. Keep hanging out for me. Sarge. I'm gonna go talk to the driver. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> I'm Coral Johnson. >> How you doing? >> I'm doing all right. Um, so like I was explaining to um I'm sorry. Who? The >> Lana. >> Uhhuh. >> Lana. >> Lana. Yes. I explained to her why we're here. I don't know if officer do explained it to you. >> Yeah. So, we're working a fraud. So, we're trying to make sure either prove that a fraud did occur or did not occur or at least, you know, find the problem. >> What though? >> Uh, what she was trying to cash. So, um, >> was it a check? >> Huh? >> A check. >> It >> I don't think it was a check. >> What do you think it was? >> She said it was from her great grandma or something. >> From her great grandma. >> Yeah. Okay. I got >> her mom gave them all. >> Okay. Did you say where she got it from? like specifically? >> No. The original plans for for me to go get a outfit cuz today is my 30th birthday. >> Happy birthday. >> Thank you. >> The female driver also presented a story similar to the other woman, suggesting this may have been prior collusion. At this point, police confronted the suspect directly in an attempt to extract the truth. >> Case that we worked this our shift in particular with these pretty much exact same checks. Um, >> it's an ongoing investigation and then people just keep coming to the same TD Bank with these same checks and they just keep getting arrested. >> Okay. >> I've never been in trouble. >> I understand. Um, there's a first time for everything. Okay. So, it's time for you to be very honest about where the check came from and who gave it to you, where'd you get it, stuff like that, because you're looking at some pretty serious charges right now. You know that it's not real, right? >> No, I did not know it was real. >> You didn't know that it was real? >> I promise you. >> Okay. So, who gave it to you? >> Her outside? >> Yeah. >> What' she tell you to do with it? >> She told you to cash it? >> Okay. How' you guys end up linking up today? Like, what was her birthday? >> It's her birthday today. So today her birthday is her birthday. So she was like hey do you want to hang out? She was like um she was like is there I have this thing where you can move the room and I was like is it like and she was like yeah like it's perfectly fine. Just like when you have counterfeit money you can feel the difference in the paper. >> Okay. >> I'm going to show my son. >> Okay. When we ask her, when we take her and put her in handcuffs right now, >> what is she going to tell us happened? Is she going to tell us you knew it was fake or is she going to tell us? >> She's I don't think she's going to tell you she knew it was fake. >> She's going to have some reason why her your name is on it. >> She is she's the one that put my name >> cuz right now she's saying she has no idea where it came from and that this was all your ID. I'll be honest with you. That's what she's saying. >> It's not my I've never done anything like this. I don't I don't do >> understand. >> I'm a mom. I got you. >> The suspect then confirmed that the driver was involved in the incident and officers immediately began questioning her about the matter. >> Were there some personal information being exchanged to put on these checks so that they could be cashed? Something along the lines of it's legit blah blah blah. >> So, >> from me or from her boyfriend? >> She is saying that they came from you. >> Her boyfriend. >> Okay. Why would she tell us it was you? Maybe because she's >> Well, it's her boyfriend. She's been on the phone literally all day with her boyfriend. >> I got you. >> So, if you look at her call logs, she's been on the phone all day with her boyfriend. >> I got you. >> I'm just telling I'm just wanted to ask you because that's what she's telling us. She's telling us that she didn't know they were fake. That she cashed them because you told her to. >> So, what about her grandma giving them? I'll try to figure that out myself because apparently that's all a lie. >> No, I just think that she's trying to cover up for her boyfriend. >> I mean, she she is providing incriminating information about herself, right? And implicating you by saying you gave him? >> No. >> She So, you did not give her these checks. You don't know anything about these checks? her her I know her boyfriend does that type of stuff, but she told me that that was from her grandma that she was going to come with me for my birthday. >> I got you. Okay. Um All right. >> I think her boyfriend >> and I've never met him. Like I've seen him on FaceTime but she has earphones in. So that's how she was communicating with him all day. Sergeant, what was that email again that she gave you? >> The story then introduced another suspicious man, but when police asked her to contact him to support her statement, she immediately changed the subject. >> I don't want to go to jail. >> I understand. >> I cannot go to jail. >> I understand. >> Like seriously, I cannot go to jail. >> I understand. >> My daughter is going to be devastated. >> I understand. Listen, like my sergeant has explained to you at when I initially >> and I know how this plays out. They're going to come back and they're going to put my hand behind my back and I'm going to go to jail. I don't know that. I don't know that for a fact because here's here's >> Hi. >> I know you guys ran my name. I'm on probation. I know you guys know that. >> What are you on probation for? >> Um from 2019. I have 156 days left. >> Okay. >> She told us her email was this. So, I want to see something here once you're done on the phone. >> Okay. So, >> she confirmed that her email isn't enough. >> Mhm. >> That's not It's not enough to put her behind it. >> We need to see more from this email. Oh, >> I cannot go to jail. >> I got you. So, >> I cannot go to jail, >> right? That's what we're trying to figure out. But >> she's a Look, whatever she said about me, that's cool. But she's a good girl and it's the boyfriend. I that that I know for sure. >> Do you have any information about this boyfriend that we'd be able to >> I just know that it's like Gucci or something, but I don't know no real name. I don't know him. >> I need proof that that came from that email like a >> No, not that one. the yummylicious cuz she's denying the little baby. >> You don't follow him on social media? You've never met him before? Nothing like that. >> Do you know anybody that besides her that's associated with Gucci? >> Anywhere that can lead us down a breadcrumb trail to >> Who is Gucci? >> Gucci's calling you. Okay. What What's is is it from a phone number or how's he calling you? >> Through Telegram. >> Through Telegram. Okay. says, "So Gucci, >> so Gucci?" Gotcha. >> Okay. You want to answer and see what he says? >> I'm scared. >> While the female driver continued to insist on her innocence, the woman inside confessed to everything. And that was the moment police knew exactly what they had to do next. >> Utility. >> Oh snap. Can you go back to it? It's >> Yeah. >> Oh, she must have deleted it. Does she have her phone? >> Well, it's on my body, but >> Oh, no. >> Yep. She on her phone right now. If she deletes it, it goes off of your phone, too. >> I have the fair name back. She probably delete everything. Can't get rid of our messages. I know that for a fact. >> All right. This is ours. >> Yeah, that's ours. You're going to jail. >> You're deleting things. No, I'm not deleting anything. >> I just saw everything I need to sell. >> But I didn't delete anything. I was sitting here googling the boy's name. >> I understand. We'll look at that and we're going to try to uh figure that out. But I saw everything I need to see on >> She deleted it as we're reading the group chat. Everything wipes off. >> Did you not see when he was calling me on in on Telegram? I saw but based on the information he's saying I'm telling you all the truth so I don't I have no sympathy for anxiety at any time. >> Based on the script both women were charged with uttering a forged instrument in check fraud. The driver already on probation was taken into custody without bond. While the investigation continued to identify the male suspect believed to be the mastermind behind the scheme, lying and trying to shift blame only made the situation worse. Taking responsibility early and avoiding illegal shortcuts could have prevented serious consequences.
