What did I not buy? >> The time now is to be honest. You don't need to be lying. >> I did not buy. >> It was clearly seen that she had stepped outside the designated shopping area of Walmart, making her arrest entirely understandable, except her own mind at that moment. >> The van The freaking Look at this stuff for me. Thank you. >> Yeah. Couldn't let me move. The store did say I was stealing. >> Right here. >> How can y'all say I was stealing until I left the store? >> I saw you leave the store. >> No, I'm done.

Is it in the wallet? Is it >> That's probably the closest thing I have to right there. >> ID. No, I don't have another. >> That's my father-in-law. >> Why? Because someone tried to steal his beds. >> Well, you're going to be taking a charge for that as well. >> It's all prescribed. >> It's not a prescription bottle, which makes it illegal. >> So, it's stole by. >> You have to carry.

I was trying to tell you I hadn't even left the store. Oh, I was asking. >> During the process of verifying the woman's information, officers discovered that she had outstanding warrants. And at that moment, they made their decision. >> So, the thing is, you are still going to jail. >> Okay. You're not getting the charge, but you are still going to jail. Could you warrant resistance police? I resist OWI second offense. >> OI second offense. >> I think I resist you. Huh? >> Okay. So, you put the basket in the garden center whenever they >> don't get to be over it. >> Well, probably you resist. It was to the point where you had to get put into a basket for you to stop and then this grown man had to tell you. In addition, officers uncovered several details in the case that raised suspicions the woman might have been involved in illegally reselling stolen goods. >> Do you have somebody that's here to pick you up? >> So, there's nobody here at this moment. >> What about the chick that was filming you? Huh? >> What about the chick that was in the SUV right across? >> That woman that was in the SUV right across? You remember her? No. >> Who are you on the phone with? >> When when we arrested you, you were on the phone. Who are you talking to? >> No, I was giving somebody a message earlier. >> You were talking Who was the person you're talking to? >> I called someone on marketplace earlier to see if they were going to beat me up here if I >> I don't really know who they are. It's people I buy stuff marketplace, but it will be always. >> So, you called someone but you don't know their name.

But would they would they come back and pick it up? >> What's those white peels in the baggie? >> Finally, the suspect was charged with theft and prohibited acts. Resisting arrest and bench warrant. Don't let one wrong decision spiral into a chain reaction that makes everything worse. Being honest from the start, and cooperating with law enforcement always proved far wiser than denying it until the very end. What >> What is your name? >> My name is Kayla. Okay. K A >> K A Y L A. No, this is very It's Leila. It's not Kayla. This is very like No, it's Leila. >> On November 18th, 2025, police received a report about a woman at AutoZone who raised suspicion while shopping. She exited the store, then returned shortly after with behavior that immediately set off red flags. Officers promptly arrived on scene and began working with the store manager. >> I don't know if the store didn't beep on the way out, but I can't assume. >> I know. I know. >> I'll look at the vehicle. >> Watching her right now inside the store. >> Okay. So, you all keep eyes on the female. She's inside the business. She came out once, went to the vehicle, and then returned within the vehicle when you was here when she got out. >> It's right here. >> Yeah. I had to come out. >> Yeah. >> He's been parking over there for a while. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I'm from Picacho, so I get a little >> I got you. I'll let you. You never saw her take anything, right? She went out and came >> brought some stuff to the counter. It was nickel and dime stuff and then left >> and then I I put that over there on the end, but now she's back in. >> Okay. >> You need to exchange this? >> Yeah, >> Anthony. >> Yeah. >> I'll return it and then exchange it. >> Whichever one. To clarify further, she had stolen merchandise from the store and returned it to obtain cash. But another factor prompted police to approach her in order to divert her attention. >> Hey ma'am, so we got the oil from the truck that you walked back to. Okay. Okay. >> The oil in the truck. Yeah, that's the one that she told me that she didn't want to get. So, I'm confused. So, I'm getting the correct one. >> Did I not receipt >> for the 5W20? Yes, I should. >> I'm grabbing my thing to give you the receipt. What the heck? >> Stay here. You got to tell us where you're doing. >> This is like Huh? >> You got to tell us what you're doing. What I'm trying to do is I'm trying to get the correct answer. >> So, here's the thing, right? >> They said that you were in here. >> You got some Hold on. I'm talking Let me talk to you. >> Listen to Officer. >> The thing is that you were in here in the store before. You didn't pay for anything. And then you walked out and you had a bag with you. >> Yeah. My bag. Yeah. >> And then you came back inside and now this we're here with you. And that oil is in your truck, right? And you did not pay for it. >> Okay. Then if I didn't pay for that one, then that one then Oh my god. Okay. So then that was accidental because it was supposed to be the 20w50 and I'm like dyslexic cuz I thought it was 5W20 when I kept I know. I realized that and it's because I was trying to hurry because I'm in a hurry because I thought the store closed at 9. So I like panicked when I like went and that's why I put everything down. The woman attempted to explain the incident she had caused, but in doing so, she implicitly confirmed that she had left the store without paying. Even so, many details remained unclear surrounding her information. >> It was not intentional at all. I don't have your ID on you, man. >> I don't I don't. But like this is absolutely like Marisha. >> Okay. >> Excuse Marisha. >> No, my name is not Marisha. Catch a breath. Okay. >> Oh my god. Papa just talked to me. What is your name? What? >> What is your name? >> My name is Kayla. >> Okay. K A >> K A Y L A. >> Last name, >> huh? >> Last name? >> It's real. R A R A E H L. Well, it's real LE. But real. >> Oh, your ID. Is it just real or is it Ali as well? >> Uh, real l a l i. >> Okay. Is your ID? Where's your ID at? >> Um, Texas. >> Do you have it with you? >> No, I do not. My wallet? >> No, it does not. >> Okay. What is your date of birth? Huh? >> Is that also your bag? >> Yes, that is also my bag. No, sir, it is not. >> Okay. >> What's your date of birth? Um, you're from Texas? >> Yes. From El Paso, Texas. And my address is 4550. Tell us. >> Just for the time being, I'm Can you just put your purse up here, please? >> No. I I feel very uncomfortable doing this. Like, no. I came into Kayla. >> I really No, this is your >> No, this is very It's not Kayla. This is very like not No, it's Ila. It's >> Yes. This is very like overwhelming to me because I'm just >> We're doing investigation. >> If you paid attention, she stated her name as Kayla and then corrected it to Ila, but it was unclear whether this was due to her panic as police were trying to calm her. >> Like I was trying >> catch your breath. Okay. >> Okay. >> You're rambling on. >> I know, but hang out. Let us do our thing. Copy it. >> We'll see what we can do here. Okay. And the more cooperative you are us, the better it's going to turn out for you, right? >> Yeah, I know. >> I just confirming your is your last name Ray and >> Rail L. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Last name Robert Adam Edward Henry Lincoln. Second last name of Adam Lincoln Adam Lincoln Ida. First name Leila Lincoln Adam Young Lincoln Adam. >> I know. But what I'm explaining is I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry. >> Tell me what happened. >> Okay, so what happened was I was supposed to come in here and the issue was was that I needed to get the quart of motor oil or whatever for the truck. >> Okay. >> And I kept like in I wrote it I wrote it down and I wrote it down as 5W20 >> because you know it's only 10 W20 or like 5W20 whatever. But um when I was over here I was like hold on I need to go see if that is the correct one cuz I don't want to spend all this money and have it not be the right oil. And then when I got to the car and I asked my friend, she's like, "No, it's not 5W20. It's 20W50." >> And I was like, "20W50? I never heard of 20W50 before." And then I was like, "Wait, what?" And then so we sat there and she googled it for me and then she showed it to me and she's like, "Yeah, it's a it comes in a black theme. It's it'll be the only one that's in there." And I was just like, "Oh, what?" Okay. Even her story was already different from the first time she told it, just like the two types of oil were also different. Putting that aside, police had also finished confirming her identity and it rambled just like her story. >> So, when we run your information, it's not coming out of Texas. So, can you >> What do you mean it's not coming out of Texas? >> Can you run Do you know your driver license number out of Texas? >> Um, >> no. >> No, but I can call my mom and ask her cuz I'm pretty sure she has like the paper one. Can you write down your name for us? How it is on your ID, please? >> Okay. >> On a notebook. >> Oh my gosh. >> Oh no. Can you get my No. Oh my gosh. No. Sorry. >> Yeah. All of this is correct. And it's >> 1193. >> Nope. That's all I need. Thank you >> for the DB. You could change it. >> You don't want you grabbing anything from the purse and that's why I took it away from you, right? >> Okay. And this is just all your stuff. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I'm glad you have an AR. Everybody needs our camera. >> I have an arc cuz of my friend. >> Okay. Does your friend use or what? >> That's like totally irrelevant. I'm just asking. >> Yeah, it's irrelevant. I don't want to It's not about her. At this point, the woman had added an illegal possession of a prohibited weapon to her charges, and based solely on the existing offenses, police decided to take action. >> Put your hands. Why am I getting there? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> You're being detained at this time because you are going to be charged with shoplifting and then also trespassing. And you're not coming back on file. So, the information you're giving me is not coming back. >> No, I'm not. >> Well, until we figure out who you are. Yeah, I mean the real >> 455 is driving. >> Have you ever been arrested here in New Mexico? >> No, I have not. >> You've never been arrested here in Cruises? >> No, I have not >> ever. >> No, sir. I have not. >> Okay. >> How long have I live in here for? >> I've only been here around a few years. I went to college here for a little while. >> Your ID is not in here. >> No sir, it's not. >> Cuz if you're lying who you are, it's you are going to jail tonight, right? If you're lying who you are, you're going to go to jail no matter what. If you tell us who you are and stop lying, >> you probably won't even go to jail. If you have a petty petty warrant, I don't care. I don't care about petty war, right? >> So, be honest with us, please. >> You're not I can tell you're lying. I've been doing this for a bit now and I know when people are lying. All right. >> There's not anything on with your name in here. >> Under pressure from police, it was not until she was escorted to the parking lot that she reluctantly provided her real information. So, what was the reason for hiding it? Sit down on the on the bridge. Your name. We need all your information. Go ahead and sit down. This prevents you from going to jail. Sit down. >> Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Do you want me over here? >> Just sit right here. Because I'm scared. >> So why would you like what's the point? I want to find out who you really are. >> I don't I didn't not like I did not. Don't feel over pass. If you don't want to get charged, like literally you giving your fake name is not going to do anything. >> No, no, I know. So, >> I'm sorry. >> One more time. Give her your correct information. >> And if not, then you I promise you won't do it. Okay. So, give it your spell. >> It's M I C H E L A M I C H A L A. She is showing a full extradition warrant out of yours. It's going to be 258 200 lb black crown last for will be a probation violation violation of a court order. So, she had tried to conceal her warrant, not fear as she claimed. And it did not stop there as police uncovered another hidden detail during the search. I will be sure. What is this? Like the tag to my tag. >> The cash you gave me in your bag. my person cuz I want to go into jail. >> Uh, not the change. >> We don't like the other change with the $5 again, but we're going to put it there just so we know where it's at. Now, I'm going to tell you right now, is there anything I tell you right now? Is there anything in there I need to be aware of? Been doing this a long time. I've already been honest with you. If I find something else, don't. >> Not the little one. >> Not the little one. The cell phone. Your cell phone will go with you. >> Okay. I have blue with you. >> I know. That's your foil. Or is there anything? Is there glue in there? >> No. The blue is on you. >> No, there's No, there's not. It's not. No, I didn't. >> Let me check the necklace that's on your neck. >> The one that's under your shirt right there. >> Oh, yeah. If you want to, go ahead. Yeah, you can. >> You're not going to find anything else on your purse, right? Oh my god. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Careful. >> The woman was charged with shoplifting, trespassing, probation violation, and illegal possession. Hiding offenses worsens consequences. Cooperation reduces risk. Concealing illegal items only escalates trouble. Next, the reckless couple ran to escape, but only to cry. want to pee. I want to pee myself. >> Please don't shoot me. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on your stomach. >> Oh, I got a heart. >> Get on your stomach. >> On February 8th in Ohio, police received a report of a theft that had occurred. The suspects were believed to have fled the scene and upon arriving immediately, officers attempted to track down the suspects based on the information provided. >> They went over the railroad tracks. Yeah, they're in the Oh, they're in the further that way. Okay. We're headed south to this line. That's where we're headed now. Female got a red shirt, right? The suspects fled into the woods, believed to be a vast and difficult area to search. But they forgot that with bright clothing, police quickly located one of the two. Stop. Stop. I'm chasing the female right now. I don't know where the male. >> Stop. Get on the ground. >> Where's the male? >> He went that way. >> Hand you guys. Well, I don't do this. All right. Thank you. >> Am I going to jail? >> Why are you laying fil? >> I didn't for you like that. I was trying to help you guys. >> I thought that's all I was doing. >> You want to stand up? Do you want to stay sitting for a minute? >> I was standing down for a minute. >> All right. >> So, why were you running from Walmart? in the house with my boyfriend and and they stopped him or whatever >> and then they said, "Do you get away from us?" So that's what I want to do. >> At the same time, on the other side, police also found the remaining suspect. He attempted to flee, but the attempt failed under police restraint, leaving him struggling to breathe. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Please don't shoot me. >> Get on the ground. Get on your stomach. >> I got >> Get on your stomach. >> I got hot. Please, man. >> Get on your stomach. Get your hands out. >> On your stomach.

I >> got back problems. >> Everyone has back problems. >> Well, you just ran a mile. I think you're all right, lad. >> I'm not worried. >> I will when we get to the cruiser. >> At that moment, the two were brought back together. And the first thing they shared was not any acknowledgment of guilt, but complaints about the consequences of their own actions. >> Baby, calm down. >> I'm trying. Baby, I love you. >> Stressing out, man. You're pregnant. Stop. >> They are with me. >> ID. >> I need to be quiet for a second. >> Are you pregnant? >> Yes. >> Cover her. I'm cover. If you run, >> you'll be charged with escape. Do you understand that? >> Right now, you're an inmate. If you run from us after being on camp, you'll be charged with a felony escape. You understand that? >> I'm not going to run. I'm not going to run. >> You were running from me, were you? >> I told him if I was doing what they asked you to do. >> They asked you to run. >> Yes. They asked me to go and go talk to God for me. the people at Walmart. I swear to God he did. He sto my boyfriend. I swear to God he did. >> Take us back to Walmart. >> You know your mouth, baby. >> Stop moving. >> I'm not sure. >> You search her yet. >> Search. >> Get your hands off your pants. >> You want to take this off? >> Sit over here. >> Come on, man. I'm just trying to make it all. >> Well, I'm trying to make it to where we're safe. Shortly afterward, police brought the suspects back to Walmart to make formal decisions regarding their actions, ensuring that the incident would be officially recorded in their criminal history. >> Try to stop people for shop and they automatically bar you. Okay. You're both already in hand. Well, you are in handcuffs, Lean. So, >> she's pregnant. She's pregnant. >> Okay. I'm just letting you know that you are barred for life. Okay. From all Walmarts in the world. All right. I'm I'm going to write in custody right here because you can't sign. All right. I'm getting bored. Third time. >> You said both of Oh, yeah. Right. I thought you said third time getting bored. >> Oh, no. I said, "Are they both getting bored?" >> Yeah. Um, >> I was doing what he told me to do. He told me to go talk sentences into my boyfriend. Didn't you say that? >> It It was It was working for a minute. Then you took off. Did you Did you Did he tell you to run from the police when they told you to stop, too? >> I didn't know they were >> Or did you just take that in your own hands? >> Okay. Melissa, >> I didn't know you guys were behind until I looked already >> and then I said stop and you kept running that part. >> Yeah. I'm Melissa. say you were good until you decided to run too. Okay, that that's what got you. All right. So, do you want to sign it yourself or do you want me to put in custody for you? >> I mean, how am I supposed to get you if I didn't go after you? >> Melissa, do you want me to write in custody or do you want to sign this? >> You guys got everything back? >> Yeah, we have to. It's not a freebie, man. >> Have you ever been caught here before? Anywhere other any other what happened today? >> All right. How about you? >> I was with him. Like I like you said, >> I didn't get stopped at the door, but I did follow him. >> You guys target her, too. Um, she's going to be in our case system. >> During the investigation, police discovered their records. Melissa Butterball, age 32, had a history of instability and often lost control when confronted by police. The man was Leland A. Sprouse, aged 24, a repeat offender with an active warrant. Because of what they did that day, Walmart issued a decision that followed them for life. >> Buy anything at all? >> Did you come in here to buy anything specific? A pump. It's a plumbing part. Some plumbing parts. >> You better thank them. They got enough on you. Chucky with complicity at the police. There's a female watch that you selected in there. So, I mean, you're just as guilty as he is. Waiting for your apology. >> Sorry. >> Just don't for don't make it worse. >> You guys understand? If you come back to any one more property, including Sam's Club, gas station, parking lot, and store, you can be part of trespass. Okay. >> That includes um our database system goes everywhere, but we're specifically designed the region and everywhere is within a reasonable driving distance between Circleville, Wly, >> Jackson, all that stuff. They're all going to have your pictures back there. So, if you come in, they're going to trespass at least. So, >> can we finish off our hand? You got pants on >> the leggings. The leggings. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> In the end, both were convicted of obstructing official business while the man also faced a theft charge and was taken into custody on an active warrant. Running from responsibility only escalated the consequences, turning a minor act into lasting legal trouble that could have been avoided by cooperation and accountability. >> Where'd you put it away? Yeah, I'd put some of it in my bag and then some of it, >> did you rip open those boxes? >> What boxes? >> Those three boxes that he has right there. >> Uh, yeah. >> On April 5th, 2024, police were dispatched to an Ulta store after receiving a report of a woman concealing merchandise in her bag while shopping. When approached, she showed no real intention of hiding what she had done. >> Huh? >> Hi. >> Hi. >> How are you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> Good. What are you doing? What's going on? >> Uh, nothing. I'm just shopping. >> You're just shopping? >> Yeah. >> What are you shopping for? >> Uh, a bunch of stuff. >> All right. >> I just can't carry all of it. >> You can't carry all of it? >> Yeah. >> I have some stuff put away right now, but I'm going to >> Where'd you put it away? >> Yeah, I put some of it in my bag and then some of it right here. But >> how much stuff is in there? Looks like there's in there. >> Well, I have a lot of stuff, but some stuff's already mine. >> Okay. Okay. So, how much? It looks like the bag is pretty full. >> Yeah, but I have a lot of stuff in here, but like this uh this is uh what I was going to buy. >> Mhm. >> Um >> 17. >> This stuff's mine. >> Okay. >> Uh oh, this one I was This one I was going to buy. >> You were going to buy all of that? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And then Nope, that one's mine. Mhm. >> Uh that one's mine. Uh this one I was going to buy. >> Okay. And that's it. The rest is >> So that's all that looks like it still has tags on it and stuff. >> I guess like the stuff like that especially the like white lipstick or whatever that is. >> This >> um No. Well, I guess that too. But that one right there. You see that with the tag still on it? >> Oh, this one. >> Mhm. That doesn't look like it's open yet. >> Yeah. No, this one I was going to buy too. So >> I just couldn't hold it all. So, I just put in my bag until I was done cuz I'm not done yet. I have to buy diapers. >> The woman tried to justify her actions by claiming she simply could not carry the items and had put them into her bag. But that very act was what prompted the police to issue a warning >> stealing anything. >> Okay. What What's your name? I'm sorry. >> Candace. >> Candace. All right. So, Candace, listen. >> You know, you say you're not going to steal it. Okay. >> I'm not. >> I I get that. But you have to understand maybe where they're coming from, too, right? when they see you putting all these makeup products in a bag that's not like a, you know, shopping basket, they're probably going to think that you're going to try to steal it. You know what I'm saying? >> I No, I get that. >> And then you're putting it in your jacket pocket. Like it does look, you know, it looks weird, right? >> It looks weird, but I'm not I promise you I wasn't going to, you know, >> but Okay. But like, like I said though, you know, when they see someone doing that, you know, it does kind of look like you're you're about to, you know, >> Yeah. No, I understand. But that's not what was happening at all. >> Okay. Now, were you here yesterday? >> No. >> You weren't at this store yesterday? >> No, I don't think so. >> You don't think so?

Her statements gradually became questionable as they kept changing. And it grew even more obvious when the items she claimed were hers all showed clear signs of theft. What about all that other stuff though, K? >> Well, that stuff's mine. >> Okay. Even the stuff that had the price tags and still looked like it wasn't empty, like taken out. >> I I >> Cuz the 9 West looks like you haven't even used that eyehadow. >> See that right there?

Okay. >> I'm not trying to go for stealing. I just had I was just picking stuff out and whatever. >> All right, let's go that way. Let's go that way. >> Over here. >> Over here. Where do we go? >> She was then escorted to the checkout counter to verify the payment. And it was there that even more details about her misconduct inside the store slowly came to light. those because I have to I wanted to make sure they fit my daughter's fingers first before I bought them. So, I wasn't totally sure I was buying those yet. >> Hey, Candace, you have your ID on you? Do you have it on you? Where is it at? >> Yeah. >> Candace, did you rip open those boxes? >> What boxes? >> Those three boxes that he has right there. >> Uh, yeah, because I wanted to see if they were the right product. >> So, you put them in your purse, but then you left the boxes out.

Just make sure. >> Yeah, they stuck a hole in it. So, I don't know if you guys accept that as a valid. >> No. >> So, okay. Okay. $268 worth. >> Which was that? >> Candace Ronin. Did you provide video footage yesterday4? Let me know how that comes back. >> So, she ultimately admitted to the actions considered to be against store policy and that alone was enough for the police to proceed with placing her under arrest at that moment. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> These are the boxes here. So let's just make what she's saying somewhere from another place. Let's just make sure you don't hold that line here from this Walgreens. >> Back to this Walgreens. >> Okay. I will come back to the Walgreens, but >> all these don't want to come back. >> No, no, I know. I mean, I'm not I won't, but what I'm saying is uh I don't want them to >> they sell that there, but that's actually mine. >> Okay. So, really quick, >> so that So, how can you do that?

All right, Candace, before let's stop talking about that for a second. Okay. You're going to get >> All right. So, what happens now? >> So, you're placed under arrest. Okay. >> You're going back to our headquarters. >> Okay. >> Okay. And then whatever happens from there happens from there. I really don't know the next steps. Um, you're going to get processed. >> Okay. >> Sounds like you're going to get a shoplifting charge. Okay. >> Okay. >> And then whatever happens from there, that I can't say. You wear a bail reform. and what's that? It's >> like with your >> She was charged with shoplifting for concealing merchandise without proof of purchase. And the investigation also noted suspicion of possible drugrelated paraphernalia after officers found a rolled dollar bill with white powder residue. When small lies keep shifting and excuses pile up, the truth only becomes clearer. Trying to outsmart the situation with weak justifications can turn a minor mistake into criminal charges and public embarrassment. >> I don't know, honestly. like I'm watching them pull things out that I did not that I took out. >> How do you keep coming back here if if they if they're still in front of you? >> Tragically, I live around the corner and this is the cheapest place. >> On November 2nd, 2021, officers responded to a call from Walmart after receiving a report of a woman attempting to shoplift. The moment they arrived, nearly everything was already clear from the overflowing cart and even from the way she was dressed. >> So far, this and what's inside is all that's been paid for. >> Okay. So, she's paid for this, you okay? >> Yeah, that's receipt. This for t-shirts and stuff. And then I'm figuring out what's what's on this receipt, but >> Okay. So, this is your >> This is for the t-shirts right here. And then I got the sunglasses right here on this one. >> Okay. So, t-shirts and that, but this hasn't been paid for. No. Okay. All right. >> Hello, ma'am. How are you? Um, just want to find out, you know, uh, what's going on? Why Why am I here today? I don't know honestly like I'm watching them pull things out that I does not that I took out sat on the counter and left and then I was like in the cart and this is like third or fourth time that I've had issues with them that by the end of it they were like oh my bad so >> okay well first of all what's your name >> Tiffany >> Tiffany I'm I'm officer Fields I'm with Roswell Police Department officer Curry okay >> it seemed the woman showed no remorse at all and she already had a story prepared to justify that attitude. >> Um, okay. So, explain to me what's going on. So, you came to Walmart. What were you doing here? >> What'd you come for? >> Winter clothing for my brother's friend and my boyfriend. >> Okay. So, you came for some winter clothing. >> Shelving for my >> Notice there's a lot of shades in there. Um, >> they were $150. They were all on the receipt. >> Okay. And then, um, so talk to me about the shelving cuz that was not on the receipt. This I have to receive on my family and I'm telling you there's seven things show me hang up. >> Okay. >> Like >> so why do they think you stole it? >> Yeah. >> I don't know. They have been dead in here or something. >> Okay. >> Like genuinely I >> Well, they have real people out here that genuinely walk in here take. >> So what do they why are they telling us you stole this stuff today? >> I guess that's what they feel. >> Yeah. >> But I didn't even walk out the door. So it's like >> they stop you right here. >> Yeah, on the other side. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I was only here so long because like my car had your car >> said they waited until my roadside got >> She believed the employees held a grudge against her. Perhaps that was why she covered her face. But with three or four prior incidents like that, it truly raised serious questions for the officers. >> This is like the third or fourth time we caught her doing this. Today I just happened to actually stop her. First time she tried to walk out with over $700 worth of stuff, but they prevented her and she walked out the other side just abandoned everything. >> Then another time was like a week ago where I stopped and knocked the front door cuz she missed all the stuff on the bottom. >> I want to understand if I was if there's video and I look at video, am I going to see you taking >> or doing anything wrong and I I go about my business. I take things out as a register if I can't afford them. Like they're not tripping. The last two times that they did this. I was like there was meant to be paper and went inside and spent. >> No issues. >> Okay. Um >> that is not the case. >> Okay. Okay. It's okay. So um have has there been any reports filed on this before for you? >> There's been no >> Can I see your phone with the receipt? >> Got to get away from it. >> Didn't happen. They might be confusing me with someone else, but I promise you that did not happen. >> Okay, I went here. I don't know. >> They got it. They My phone died. They want to see your receipt, right? >> So, I'm like, "All right, let me charge my phone. I'll be right back." I come back, they put up, they won't give it to me. They won't give me a return. So, they're stealing from me at that point. >> Okay. >> You know, corporate about that, >> attempted to kind of go off. >> Okay. >> The question continued to linger. If she truly felt she was being treated so unfairly, why did she keep coming back here instead of going somewhere else? >> How do you keep coming back here if if they if they're still in front of you? >> Tragically, I live around the corner and this is the cheapest place >> to get stuff and I take care of my grandma. So, >> I understand. >> Okay. >> So, are are they going through all this stuff? Are are they going to find anything? Cuz it'll save you some time and me some time. >> They're not going to find anything that I intentionally would have taken. The girls scanned all that stuff and did a a suspended transaction. And >> I mean, is there anything in that stuff that's going to not show up on those receipts that you provided? >> No. >> You don't seem too very confident when you say that. >> Okay. So, I know y'all don't know, but like scan and go, right? You scan it, you go have people check it, go about your business, takes it off your card, right? >> Mhm. >> Once you have an issue or whatever, you transfer it to the register. >> Yes. Sometimes it doesn't all transfer through correctly. >> Okay. So you're >> sometimes it does and it's like something that I've been like actually like have like >> spoke with them about >> so like >> you seem like you don't know if they're going to find something or not. >> They should not. But like I'm saying is that standing go this is that I have was that >> the machine might give it >> the machine did something. It didn't have everything on there. >> Okay. So, I went around and paid for it because it was intentional to be paid for, you know. I scanned it on the phone, he said. And he was like, "Oh, yeah. I watched you scan." And I was like, "Okay, great." >> Was it like uh you were at the self-s serve lane? >> No, but you do it all on like your phone. >> Okay. I don't know. I don't I don't >> Is it like an app like the Walmart app or something? >> Okay. >> All right. Show me. >> Shopping or whatever. And you go uh see do your view. >> He's got an app. I'm looking at whatever. >> Okay. So, we have all the images. So, can you >> So, scan and go. You're going to go like >> It seemed she had carefully prepared for this encounter with the police. Yet, the employees still uncovered her actions. >> But she only she probably scanned them the short ones for all of these together, which is called ticket switching. >> When you scan the cheaper items, >> that came with these. >> So, if you scan that six times instead of scanning all of these, >> how much are these? >> That's 14.97. That's uh >> these are 41 56. >> That's this one right here. >> So So you guys are just verifying to see what she has paper, what she has not, and then we'll get the training receipt. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Now, is everything ring up correctly? You didn't double ring something for something else. That kind of thing. >> Like you didn't take the small shelves as a cheaper price and use that for the big shelves for the higher price. >> I think all the shelves are supposed to be the same. >> You think they are or do you know? >> Well, you have the app there. What does it say there? >> Well, I didn't. I'm just saying for instance, >> um, you know, they were all supposed to be four tiered plastic shelves, you know. So, >> okay, >> I'm going to assume they should have all been the same. >> So, it's looking like the two little shelving units that you got right there. >> On the receipt, they say she bought six of them for about 90 bucks in total, but in reality, she only got two of them. And then >> use those for the price >> and and and then she had the bigger ones price. >> Uh, well, yeah. Well, she scanned these. >> So, these are like 15 bucks a pop and those are like >> At that moment, the officers gave her a chance to be honest, but she only left them disappointed with the story she stubbornly clung to. >> Scand all this. >> Yep. So then, as I'm going to pay for it, something on their end, nothing to do with me. >> Yep. >> Happen. It suspended it. >> Yep. >> So, we redo it again and she's like, "Okay, it's time for me to go." >> And tosses me over there and When they suspended it, why did you instead of leaving it, why did you leave it? I mean, why did you take it with you? >> I was intending to get it. My total was not that much for for certainly not that much. It doesn't make sense. Not even on like some crybaby doesn't take accountability. I'll take accountability for things I've done, but like not for things I haven't done. >> All right. Well, here's what's going to happen. Okay. You have to come with us. Why? >> Because they're pressing charges against you. Okay. They're placing you under arrest. Is that correct? >> Yes, sir. They're placing you under arrest for shoplifting. If you're claiming you pay for all this, you'll have your receipts. You'll go to court and you'll you'll you'll discovered in court. Okay? They'll be there in court with you along with us. Okay? I mean, unless you can prove that you've paid this, show bank accounts, show your, you know, something. But they're claiming that after all the stuff they went through and the receipts that they have on copy, but you claim that they have, this is what's left over. I don't know what I don't have that suspend receipt. I don't have any of that. So like >> Well, who's the employee that that helped you? What was her name? >> Yeah. >> Or was it his name? >> I don't know. She left at 2:00. >> 2:00 was a good time. >> Yeah. >> So if we know Okay. How do you know that? >> Because that's why she tossed me on to someone else. That's why I'm >> Cuz she said, "I'm getting off at 2. Go somewhere else." >> Basically. Yeah. >> After that, the officers decided to take the woman into custody. But what stood out even more was the face behind the mask still showing not the slightest trace of remorse. Seriously, no like other option here. >> No, ma'am. It's a felony amount. If it was misdemeanor amount, I'd probably cut you a ticket, but I can't. >> What is it? Like, what is a felony? >> Anything over $500, if not. >> Okay. Is that okay? >> What do we do this stuff here? >> Uh, that stuff. >> Do you have anything on you? >> Um, illegal? >> I don't have a turn around. >> Ma'am, you have anybody who can pick up the stuff that you did pay for? No. >> Okay. Then we'll just refund it to >> you just stand there for me. >> Okay. >> All right. So, Tiffany, um Walmart is wanting a criminal trespass warning. Okay, >> Tiffany. All this is saying that you can't come back here. Okay. You can go to a Walmart in Canton, Woodstock, wherever it is. You can't come back to this specific >> Walmart. >> Okay. Normally, we would have you sign it. Obviously, you're uncuffed. We're not going to go through the trouble again to uncuff you. So, you can sign it. We're just letting you know. You nodded your head. you acknowledge it. So that way you'll have your copy, the store will have theirs, and then we'll have a one for our records. Okay. >> You acknowledge this uh criminal trespass warning? >> Yeah. >> Can you nod your >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, >> in the end, she was charged with felony theft by shoplifting. When someone keeps blaming others instead of facing the truth, the consequences only grow heavier. No excuse can outweigh repeated choices, and avoiding accountability will always lead straight back to the same outcome. Blood of balls come back same day. You know >> they [ __ ] themselves. >> [ __ ] me. >> On May 2nd, 2024, police responded to a reported theft at Walmart. The suspects were believed to be two individuals who shoplifted twice within the same day. After getting away with it the first time, their second attempt became far more brazen. Let's see what loss prevention uncovered. >> What do we got? Let me see the two. >> Oh yeah, they're both occur. >> Yeah, that was positive. >> Yeah, >> this is the What about the first time they stole? How many people? >> Same same thing. >> Just those two. >> Same two. Yep. Okay. >> This is the second time right here. >> All right. Nobody else stole. They were just with them. >> Yeah. Yeah.

They were parked in the fire. Do >> you have a picture of that dude in the black? >> Uh yeah. >> Like face shot. All right. So, how much guesstimate over 300? Under 300? Uh, probably under 300 of this. I I don't know what they had in their pockets cuz the second time they walked out their pockets were full is what the hosts are saying. >> Oh, okay. Well, we're going to search for something. Okay. >> What's uh >> I'd say maybe >> what's AP stand for? Why am I drawing asset protection? >> Thank you. >> Oh, yeah.

Anybody got a legal way to carry a weapon? >> I got to ask. Everything appeared normal on the surface, but the tension was clearly written across the woman's face. At that moment, police directly voiced their suspicions. >> Open the door, man. Here's what's going on real quick. All right. Walmart is saying you guys went there this morning around 11:00. They spotted this car and there's a whole bunch of bags that left the store without paying for anything. >> I paid for this stuff.

Right there. I don't blame you, but you can't have it. All right. So this is what we going to do. I can't give it back to you by the kind, you know, just because the law states that. But if she gets this car back, you do whatever the hell you want with it. >> I'm not going to know what the hell was going. >> With items scattered everywhere in complete disarray, officers struggled to determine what belonged to whom. So they allowed one of the passengers to step forward and sort through the belongings. >> People stole stuff from a store. It is what it is, right? >> We're not affiliated with >> Why you going back? Listen to me. >> No, it's not. The car is not slow. The car the driver listen to me. The driver has suspended driver's license. Nobody has no insurance and it was involved in a retail death car.

On November 26th, 2023, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a theft committed by a woman. They arrived at the scene immediately where store employees promptly reported everything they had observed. Watch what happened next. >> Stole Thanksgiving Eve. >> Okay.

And then when we do get it, it's a couple of days later after the court hearing that doesn't pass by. >> Oh, okay. >> So that that's that's the problem.

I'm one of those. Even if I got to go myself, I go for I go for as a representation for my guy. I'll go stay. >> This was not the first time for this woman. For many reasons, Walmart had been unable to press charges before, but this time was different. The suspect shed what appeared to be nothing more than fake tears. >> Who sainted this time? Not like we should get a big one. 15. >> Hey. Um, take the jewelry off your wrist. >> Yeah, unfortunately. Take take the jewelry off your >> wrist. You got something first, though. You going you going to preach your name and sign. >> The first line is your name and then the second one is signass. >> What? >> There ain't no damn promise to appear when it's a felony. >> Over 750. >> Over 750. >> Hey, sign that for me, please. Please. I don't I'm trying to >> do some stuff. >> Yeah, basically what >> I don't have. >> Just close.

Zapora, please. >> Remember, you are transparent from every Walmart, >> not just this one. >> So, it's every Walmart. >> You go out of You go out of state, that Walmart, too. >> The woman knew she could no longer change anything, so she was forced to comply with the officer's instructions. It was at that moment that several suspicious actions began to unfold. >> All right. Just take this with your mouth, please. >> No. Take off the jewelry off your wrist. >> What are you What did you put in your mouth? >> That's not spit that out. Spit that out. What are you doing? >> Come on, man. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Put them together like you pray. Okay. >> Come on. Turn around. >> Damn. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Put your hands together like you're praying. >> Right there. >> I'm going to have to impound it. >> I'm going to have to impound it. So, hey, bro. So, she she ingested both, right? >> I think so. I think so. It was a big It was like a big ass. It >> It totaled 150. >> So, one $100 bill and two $50 bills. >> So, $200. >> Shortly afterward, the woman was escorted to the police vehicle. There was no sign of shame at all. >> That jewelry right there. >> You taking your phone, too, right? Let me let me get this. Thank you. Let's go. Let's go. >> That's her phone. This is her phone. Wait, don't close it. Let me just >> What? >> No, unfortunately. >> You walk past you have to go through um point. You did pass the checkpoint. >> I didn't push the car. I got >> I'm going to take one off. I'm taking one off. So, I need you to >> lean forward. >> What? >> Yeah. No, I can't. Not until we get to jail. What? What does that mean? >> In the end, the woman Zapora Abraham was charged with grand theft and uttering forced bills. Actions driven by deceit and entitlement may seem easy at first, but they always lead to consequences that cannot be avoided. Next, with this girl, reading her rights was like performing an exorcism. >> To me, let go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please I didn't comply. Please, >> I don't want to read. No, >> Too bad. I have to read the Red. >> On the 24th of March, 2024, police received a call from a shopping center reporting that a woman had attempted to use a lighter to burn off security tags inside a store. These were the events that unfolded when officers approached the suspect. >> Okay, ma'am, stop. You're not free to leave. Okay. Were you burning tags off items? No. >> Yeah. Okay. Did you pay for any of the items here? >> Uh, yeah. All my stuff is paid for. >> Okay. Do you have a receipt? >> Uh, yeah. I have a few of them in my Bible. >> Okay. If you can grab the receipt out. >> Mhm. I got my receipts in my Bible, which is fine. >> That's what I have. >> The receipt for Burlington here. >> Oh, no. No receipts here. >> Did you take anything? Yeah. >> Okay. The employee said that you took something. You were burning price tags or security tags off items. >> Well, I don't >> you took something. >> Okay. Are you willing to show me what's in your bag? >> Well, you can look for my bag. >> Okay. Well, I'm asking you if you have anything in there that belongs to Burlington. >> I guess I don't know because I don't sleep. >> Okay. Not do. To clarify the situation, they approached the store employee to gather more details about the item she was accused of taking. >> What exactly was the item? It was a handbag and then my associate. >> What's that? >> Okay. >> Nothing. >> You want to tell me >> scarf and a handbag? >> Cuz the ticket that I got was a handbag. >> Okay. Do you know where she put Did she put it in the bag? >> Yeah, it should be in her stuff. >> They're saying you have a scarf and a handbag. Oh, >> is it this handbag right here? >> I guess. I don't know. >> You don't know whose bag is the black bag? >> I don't know. >> It's not yours? >> No. >> Ask her if she had any other hand. >> Yeah, there's a black handbag. We're still asking about the scar. She didn't leave the store. So, do you want to press charges for >> attempted theft? Which would be kind of hard cuz she hasn't left, but we just trespass. Just trespass. >> Get her out of here. >> No, I'm going to go pay for it. >> You're going to go pay for it? >> How'd you end up over here? The cash registers are over there. >> I know. I don't know. >> It's craziest thing, huh? >> Neil. >> Yeah. Okay. >> No, no, no. You're staying right here. >> At that moment, the officer returned to the woman. Immediately, she displayed different behavior, which only confirmed that her claim that everything had been paid for was a lie. >> No. >> Okay, ma'am. Here's the deal. You're being >> I don't want to pay for it. >> You have a way to pay for the scarf. >> Yeah. >> Okay. If you want to go pay for the scarf, you need to do that. But you are being trespassed. >> Okay. >> So, you need to either give the scarf back or you can go pay for it if you want to keep it, but you can't come back here. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, I'm going to fill out a piece of paper. You can wait for your copy of the piece of paper or not. But if you come back within the next year, you could be arrested. Okay. >> Oh, okay. I'm going to go pay for >> Okay, go pay for that. And then I wish you were the back. I wish I'd said to her though, like if you just give me that back, you can just trespass you and you can be >> cuz now we're standing here. >> Is she acting like she's actually going to Okay, I'll go let her know. She needs to pay for that and leave. >> Hey, ma'am. You need to pay for your items and then >> I am going to go pay for it. >> Okay, you're going the wrong way. You got to go that way. >> I'm going to go. >> Okay. Well, you need to pay for your stuff and need to leave. I will. >> It seemed the officers gave her a second chance to pay and leave, but the outcome was disappointing as she remained inside and even began acting more erratically. >> Okay, ma'am, you need to leave. I gave you plenty of time to pay for it. >> I did. I'm so >> I need the items back. >> Well, I would like to pay for my ears. >> It's too late. I give you plenty of time to get into the line. >> I did get into the line. >> Yeah. And then you kept leaving. So, you need to leave right now. You need to leave. Give me the mercenary. No, Bill. I don't want to leave. Let go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please. I did complain. Please. Please let me go. Please. I don't want to go. I'm sorry. >> Stop. Please don't let me go. Please. Please let me go. >> Stop. Please stop. Please don't arrest me. I don't want to get arrested. Stop. >> You're going to make this worse for yourself. >> Please let me go. >> Start cooperating. >> You know, I don't want to go to jail. >> I don't want to go. Please stop. I don't want to go too. I have my money. Please. Please. Please stop taking my money. Please. Please. Please let me keep your stuff. We'll keep you. >> No, you're not keeping my >> After everything that had happened, she only cared about her belongings. She even immediately claimed that she was being arrested unfairly. >> I don't want to cuz I have a place to be. >> Yes, you did. And I did comply. Sorry. >> You got in line when you said you're going to and then you got out. >> I didn't. >> You had your chance and now you're under arrest. >> Well, could you please take me home? >> She's under arrest for assault. >> You don't want to be under arrest. Put her on the hood right now. >> Stop doing this to me. Please. This is my footstep part. I do want >> grab all your stuff. >> Hey, what's your first? It seemed nothing was about to settle down because her outburst intensified the moment officers tried to read her rights. >> My fine. Just sit down. >> No, you're not fine. >> Okay, get your leg to the car. I'm not going to ask you again. >> No, I didn't. >> All right, I got to read you something. I don't want to read. No, >> it's too bad. I have to read it to you. A jump run. Give her. >> All right. Well, it's not going to be productive today. Just even if she's just screaming at >> you silence anything. >> As if reciting scripture to a demon, the chaos only escalated. Even her frantic movements and piercing screams could not be contained behind the patrol car door. Huh? >> She's kicking the door. What would opening the window do? >> Prevent it from breaking. >> Come kick our door. Okay. >> Okay. You're going to hurt your voice if you keep yelling like that. >> Are you threatening to hurt my officer? >> No. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Well, don't threaten my people. >> I don't threaten your people. Your people are being very good. Don't quagg. >> To bring the situation under control and ensure the woman's safety, the officers were forced to take additional measures to restrain her. He's >> your girl. Oh, I don't know what. >> Stand up. >> Okay. What is it? >> Okay. Lower down in a prone. >> What is it? >> Just lay down. >> What is it? >> What's happening now? >> Roll her over. Going to roll you over. >> What's happening now? >> Rolling you over. We're going to have We're going to help you set up. Okay. >> What's happening now? What's happening now? to me. >> There you go. >> What is it for? >> So, it's to keep >> Julia. This is to keep you safe and to keep us safe. Okay. >> What are you doing? Why? >> Yeah. This is kind of >> What are you doing now? Wait. >> The helmet on you. Your head. She was ultimately charged with trespassing, attempted theft, assault in the third degree for resisting and making physical contact during the arrest, and additional charges for disorderly conduct and damaging city property after kicking the patrol car door. Refusing to take responsibility only made everything worse. A minor incident turned into multiple charges simply because she chose denial and resistance over honesty and cooperation. Next, the following suspects lied blatantly without hesitation. Three hands behind your back. Arrest. >> But why, son? I didn't do anything. >> Look at there. There's one right here, too. >> That was none of yours. That came from >> On February 3rd, 2025, police received a report from Macy's about a theft that had occurred. When they arrived, the suspects were attempting to leave the scene, but were swiftly stopped in a state of panic. >> Go for police, you're under arrest. put on arrest with this. >> Okay. >> She came in with this, sir. >> What did John do a favor? Put your hands behind your back. >> Arrest, sir. I didn't do anything. >> Hey, can you get my ID? >> No, that's it's all good, though. >> I didn't spell anything. >> I didn't see you did. Relax. We're going to figure it all out. Relax. >> I'm going I'm going detain you, okay? If we find out your cuffs off, but where you guys are together here, so you have your hand by your back. Okay. >> Do an investigation. We figure out what's going on. >> Can you come out here? >> You want to You can go ahead try to your cart. >> Walk over there. >> Before you go, we're going to take all the stolen out of your pockets. >> Put some gloves on. >> What about that? >> I ain't got nothing. >> Huh? These girls simultaneously denied their actions, but it seemed that it was a lie because immediately afterward, she truly had something in her pocket. >> Look at there. There's one right here, too. >> That was none of yours. That came from Lake in Illinois. >> Don't you say you ain't take none? >> Okay. >> All right. Can you stop moving, please? >> You can take my box, baby. >> Take this, too. >> You don't know. >> That's my brother. Yeah. Yeah. It's the off the bus. You look and see. >> Well, I got to look and see. >> I came in with the uh with the shower. >> I came in with the uh >> the appliances. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> What's what? >> Yeah, that's my purse. Why would you got my purse on the floor like that? What? Nothing in there. Oh my gosh. >> Ouch. Ouch. Wait. You got ankle tight. >> No, ankle tight. I can put a whole finger in there. >> You don't get nothing in there. We ain't even been there. Y'all watch the camera. Y'all know we never made it to the car. >> No, you didn't. >> No, >> I'm still going to tow it. >> Okay. You going to tow my rental car? >> Yeah. And Enterprise is probably going to revoke your license. You revoke your >> It seemed that her denial was ignored. So, the woman repeatedly tried to evade the items on her body by shifting the focus toward her car. >> Well, I ain't got no stomach in there. >> Okay. But you used it to come in fast. >> No. No. No. You never made it to the car, >> unfortunately. >> Come on, girl. You got You don't win all my pockets. >> I can't hear you. >> You don't win all my pocket. You got these hurt my elbows. >> The The person on your elbows? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> You got They're as loose as they can go. >> Okay. Look. >> Look in the car, baby. Would you look in the car >> for what? >> And see that ain't nothing in there. >> Okay. >> We will. >> Wait. Wait. I'm just saying watch her. Come on. >> Is she good? >> Okay. Come on. This way. >> Okay. What do you say? >> No, let's go. Come on. You're going to get transported to our police station. This is the one behind it. >> Um, right here. >> But that seemed far from enough. With merchandise valued at $1,300, according to the report, there had to be more items hidden. So, a more thorough search was conducted. >> Uh, leggings on under this. >> No, >> just the skirt. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Actually, face this. Face it right here. >> Damn. >> I know. No, no, no. This way. This way. Stop moving around though. >> Hold on. Stop. >> I don't care. Stop moving. >> She got something in there she's trying to hide. You got any drugs on you? >> Yeah. >> How much? >> A whole lot. >> Where at your boot? Where is it? >> Where is it at? >> I ain't got no drugs. >> No, she's just got a bunch of stuff in her dress or skirt or whatever this is. >> You got no drugs? Well, a lot of this stuff is going to come off in our PD. We're going to do another search. >> What is this? That's back here. How'd you get it in there? >> What am I supposed to give?

You think there were four boxes in there? >> No. Hold that for me. >> I do know how to count. >> Four boxes. >> Stop moving. All right, it's over with. We're going to get pull this up so I can see. >> We're going to take you. All this stuff's going to come off anyways. the jacket, the the the blouse, everything to your in one layer. So, we're going to get it anyway. So, let's get it out. You got you got >> for me. >> No, she doesn't actually. You sure? >> Why would look listen cuz if you have something, let us know. Listen, listen. Cuz if we get into it on you, you put it on. >> Okay. >> He did ask me that I have a pipe. >> I did ask him. >> I want to make sure nobody look like I smoke a pipe. >> No, that's why I asked. No, >> you never know. >> I don't know. What does somebody look like? >> Years old. >> You never know. >> After her theft was exposed, she showed not the slightest hint of remorse and seemed to care only about her belongings. What did you think about that? >> Dang. >> Yeah, we got you. >> We get that. And I got your phone, too. >> Okay. >> You got it. >> Okay. >> Yep. Okay. Up. Up. >> There we go. >> It's hard with that ground on your legs. Mhm. >> I know it is. >> Oh, the bloody side. Okay. >> Both women were charged with felony retail theft involving $1,300 burglary and retail theft with a prior conviction. A past mistake did not stop them from repeating the same crime. And in the end, denial and blame only made the consequences heavier. When someone refuses to learn from prior convictions, the next fall is always harder. >> Something's going on. Our dad is going to surgery. Mom, >> look. This is my last time before I put you in handcuffs. Give me the purse and everything and get in the back of the car. >> On June 12th, 2023, officers approached two girls at Walmart's loss prevention office on suspicion of shoplifting. But instead of cooperating with the officers to clarify the situation, they made everything more complicated with their pleas. >> Are we up to them? >> Can we please? I've never been through nothing like this. I've never been to jail. I've never saw anything in my life. This wasn't a thing. Like, we literally have so much going on. Our dad is going to surgery. My mom bust her head open. It's a lot right now right now. That's why we're staying with a friend. And we have not literally got up to go shopping for crunches or did anything because we're just going to stuff. >> That's up to y'all. While one woman cried in an attempt to gain sympathy, the other remained strangely calm, which raised suspicion about whether this was a calculated act. >> So, let's go. >> We're going to jail. >> Can you come on? Like, y'all are crying. Like, that's beyond me. >> I'm sorry. Can I please get a tissue? >> I don't have any. >> This is why we're going to the car. >> Please. >> No, we're going to the car then we can have all the conversation you want to have. >> Sir, please. >> Can we please go? >> I'm not trying to put you in handcuffs. I literally didn't feel anything though. I was just sitting here the whole time. >> Please. >> You got anything illegal on you? >> No. Please. >> Face the car. Let me pat you down real quick. >> Oh my god. >> What did I do wrong? Can you please wash the tape? I didn't scan anything at all. >> I did not scan anything. That was exactly the problem. She took the items without scanning them for payment. Yet, the woman completely portrayed herself as the victim, forcing the officer to calm her down. >> I'm really trying to be nice with you. Give me your purse and everything. Okay. >> Can I at least go get my sister? Can you walk with me? >> No, I'm trying to be nice. Okay, let me just go tell my mom. >> You're not calling nobody at this time. This is an investigation. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> So, get in the car. Give me the purse and get in the car. >> Wait, can you tell me what's going to happen at least? >> Look, this is my last time before I put you in handcuffs. Give me the purse and everything and get in the back of the car. >> Give me that. >> Okay. >> That too, please. If you wish, you could decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? >> Yes. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me at this time? >> Do you wish to speak to me about this time? What happened? >> No. >> I have a question. >> It's a yes or no. How you going to You can't ask me a question without asking without saying yes. Yes. >> No. So, you would like to talk to me at this time? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Although tears streamed down her face moments earlier, the instant the officer began pressing her about the story behind it all, those tears suddenly disappeared. >> What was your intentions when you came into the store? >> My intention was to get groceries and go home. >> So, why you guys So, what happened in between that time and y'all trying to walk out the door? >> No, when we were getting the groceries, the lady kept coming up to us. I told you I had a lot going on. I'm not paying attention. I'm just put She putting the [ __ ] in the car. I'm okay. Cool. Like we just want to get the groceries, go home. We got an appointment at 6:40. Our intentions was to never steal. You can look at her purse. We got money. We have money. We paid with Link. >> So, how did So, why did you guys cross the last point of sale? >> What do you mean? She literally came to our car and said, "Okay, you guys scanned everything." Okay. She was checking our cart. She was Okay. And we were like, "Okay, cool." So she just kept coming to us and then she was in the baby face and then it was like a lot going on and so she was like, "Okay, you guys scanned everything. You're good to go. Have a great day." And we were like, "Okay, cool." Not thinking anything of it. We walk out and the lady stopped us and we were like, she was like, "You guys didn't scan a couple things and we were like, what?" The lady literally just told us that we scanned everything cuz she checked our card before we left. And so we went in the room and she said, "I'm not gonna I'm not gonna um I'm g She said, "I'm just going to let you guys go before the police come and you're just going to get a trespassing pass, a trespassing thing to just go because this is like your first time >> ever like doing this or something like that." And we were like, "Okay." And then you came and then she said something different. So, we're looking at her like, "But you literally just said that >> you weren't going to call the police. You were just going to let us go. And I've never stolen nothing in my life before. I'm not a thief." >> So, you never came in the store. I'm not paying for anything. >> No, I pay for everything. >> What did you think about the detailed story the woman tried to tell? In contrast to the second suspect, she almost completely accepted her fate by refusing to speak after her rights were read. >> Do you understand each of these rights? I've explained to you. >> Yes. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me at this time? >> No. Okay. >> Just to let you know, you aren't under arrest for retail theft. >> But I'm going NTA you. Okay. So, that mean you'll have a court date. So, you have to be in court. >> So, I can just go home. >> Yes. But you will have a court date to where you'll have to appear in court. >> Why is she going to jail? You literally my friend. >> You both were at the register paying for stuff. >> Am I getting arrested? >> Can you hook up the phone? >> But anyways, you both are doing it. >> So, she'll get arrested, too. She'll get NTA, but you will have to appear to court. If you do not appear to court that on the paper that I give you, they'll put a warrant out for your arrest. I'm trying to cut you apart. Give you your NA. This is why I didn't put you in handcuffs and I'm not going to send you out. >> Thank you so much. I'm so sorry. >> Don't say sorry to me. Just don't do it again. >> I'm not I'm not a thief. I don't understand. >> In the end, both of them were charged with retail theft and trespass from the premises. Once a line is crossed, consequences follow, whether intended or not. Stay aware, stay accountable, and never let emotions or distractions push you into decisions that can damage your future. >> Right now, you're detained. Okay. You can't leave. >> What? Are you serious? >> Yes. What is this? For protection? >> It's for me. It's mine. What? Nothing. And nothing. On September 9th, 2025, police were dispatched to a Dollar Tree after a theft was reported involving two suspects. Upon arrival, officers attempted to gather identifying information by reviewing the store's surveillance footage. >> How are you >> doing? All right. Said that she had a gun from the Walgreens. So, the camera >> Yeah. to see what uh what exactly it is that we're missing. Any idea what they might have taken? >> I'm not sure. The cashier was the one that saw most of it. >> Okay. >> So, the minute she said that there was someone walking around with um bags cuz they went by the bathroom. >> Okay. >> I started pulling off the camera. It took me a while because I was looking for the password to log into it. >> Okay. >> So, >> so we're not positive if they even definitely took >> they definitely seem to have like bags with them >> and they didn't come up to the registers at all. >> Okay. >> I think that's one of them. I'm not sure cuz I know there was a gentleman that had a >> At the same time, an officer received the information and quickly based on the description approached the suspects. It appeared as though they already had a plan in motion. >> Hey, how are you guys? >> Hello. >> How you doing? Mind just talking to me for a second? Want to come over here? Just want to have a quick chat. I'm Steve, by the way. >> What? What? Walking store looking around. >> What? So, we got a call from the Dollar Tree. All right.

I'm not saying you did or didn't do it, but that's why we can confirm in about a minute. Depends on whether you're free to go or not. Right now, you cannot go. >> Is that definitely her putting something in the bag there? >> I'm not sure. Let me ask my cashier if it was one people or two. But >> I'm looking at someone. >> I'm I'm thinking that's >> Well, that could have been somebody. >> Yeah. >> Wait, how many people? It was just one or was it two? >> It was two. So, it was a lady and a man. The lady when she went to the bathroom, I followed her. Her bag was empty. When she came out and walked out the store, >> what color what color was the bag? >> Pink. Her bag was pink and the other. And that's her. >> Yeah. >> She's right in front of the >> actions raised suspicion among both the staff and the officers. Yet, at this point, they continued to act confidently, believing they could outsmart the police. >> Officer over there. What's your name, sir? >> My name My name's Julius. >> Julius. And you, Miss >> Ivana. >> Ivon. Nice to meet you guys. I'm Steve. >> That's crazy. I want to chill out for a second. Listen, I I'm not saying you did or didn't do it, but I have a job to do as well. You know, >> I told you. >> How's you guys doing? All right. Same old, same old. >> Were you guys in the Dollar Tree? >> I said I went in there. >> I'm sorry. I didn't hear that part. My apologies. >> Okay. >> Gotcha. So, we just have to confirm. Is there anything in your bags that you didn't pay for from there? Just be straight up with me. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. All right. Come here. >> You too. I'll keep it real with you. >> I appreciate that, man. It makes it a lot easier. Got to go to jail. >> What? No, dude. Just stand up. You too, miss. >> Yeah. >> All right. Come here. Just do me a favor. Put your bags down right here. >> All right. >> Not everything, man. >> Okay. No. No. I didn't say everything. All right.

Incarcerated. >> I'm not incarcerated. >> How you not incarcerated? >> Right. Cuz nobody goes to jail these days. >> Yeah.

No. >> No. Anything that's going to stick me, poke me, anything like that? No. No weapons, knives. >> Another officer simultaneously searched their bags and the situation quickly escalated beyond the initial suspicion of shoplifting. >> Wow. That's crazy. >> What? Throw that away. >> Huh? >> I said you just throw that away. >> That's That's drug power. That's a crack pipe. I ain't stupid. >> No, I ain't. All right. You know what I'm saying? Like I >> Where'd you get these, sir? >> My ass. I didn't have them. >> You had them? All right. Good. Got uh these are them. >> You You check so far. >> You didn't You just had that little but nothing. Good. >> What? >> What else? Pens. >> Those are my pens. Those pins did not.

For protection? >> It's for me. It's mine. >> Nothing. And nothing. I don't have anything. That was it. Just the candy. It's just the candy. >> All right, let me I have to check, right? I can't take your word. >> I know. Shortly afterward, an officer returned to the store to verify the stolen items, and it became clear that the situation was not at all as the woman had tried to present earlier. >> Well, it's not just you guys, so you got to figure out what's yours. And >> they stole from there, too, right? I just told you that they were going over there to steal. >> So, let's see what's your stuff and what's belongs next door. >> Every store around you. >> No way. They stole the oats we just put out. We literally just unboxed those. Awesome. >> All right. Well, I definitely have her on camera taking gummy places. You got sour patch something. >> Yeah, that's all on the That's all your stuff. >> This? No. >> That's not us. >> These I saw hanging on the shelf. >> This? No. The snow? >> Not us. >> Everything else? Yeah. >> Oh, the Poland Spring is probably theirs. We don't. >> Yeah, that we uh >> this. >> We don't. >> I don't think so. No, that's not us. >> That's us. That's us. >> Why don't you put everything that's yours in one bag? >> This is us. >> Yeah. >> Must be new. That's us >> because I saw all of this in aisle 7. Told you they were in a seven. >> Actually, these are nice. I might buy these when we're done with this. >> Don't you judge me. I'm an artist. I take supplies like that lying around. >> What is it? Like $50 worth of items? >> Yes, >> probably. >> Cuz she ripped off tags on them. >> Of course she did. >> Oh, those are mine. They don't have a tag on them. >> All right. If you want to ring those up, we'll see uh >> how much >> how much that is. And then I'll bring these next door cuz I'm pretty sure these are from next door. So, if you could just print out a receipt for that. No problem. >> I'll say I'll come back. >> Mhm. >> The theft was now fully confirmed. Yet outside the suspects continued to brush it off, acting as if the entire situation was being blown out of proportion. >> There's worse things to happen. >> Candy. >> Did you uh >> going to jail for candy? >> No, it's not. So, hear me out. Hear me out. Just because you're arrested right now doesn't mean you're going to jail. Okay. The way it works, right? Have you guys been locked up before? >> I'm a six and a six. I'm going to jail. >> Your PSA is a six and a six? >> Yes. >> You're confident in that? >> Wow. Good for you. Damn. >> Mine, too. >> What have you been locked up for? >> [ __ ] This [ __ ] >> This? Nothing serious. >> You? >> But I gave it up. Yes. Yes. >> Anything else serious? Any like weapons charges like that? >> I have none of that. >> No. Any drug charges? >> I have nothing but a DUI on your back. >> DUI is not criminal. >> It's a traffic offense. >> But um yeah. So damn, the judge going to have to release us. >> So no, no. The way it works is you're locked up right now, right? You're going to come back to the station. We're in a process, both of you. >> 26 we going in. >> It's not up to me. >> That's what I'm saying. You got to call the judge. >> No, I got to call the the court and the judge. Yes. >> Yeah. >> So like that. You just >> But that's so [ __ ] >> You're saying it's a six and a six. If it's a one and a one, you ain't going. >> But it's a six and a six. >> I mean, if you're confident in that answer, okay. >> I absolutely know I'm a six and a six. I just came home from playing a year. Okay. >> And it's my first time ever being >> I just what? Two months ago. What? You got locked up? >> Shoplifting. >> It turned out the man was no stranger to shoplifting. He even knew the legal process and calculated the most favorable outcome, hoping to plead his way into leniency. >> Uh had a shoplift in the past. >> Okay. >> Like um >> so what's the question? >> I know that we might get released or we might not. I think it's just don't go in the store anymore or that type of stuff. I know we'll process. I won't know anything until we get inside. We got to see like what's going on. >> Warrants or whatever. I'm I'm pretty sure I'm good. >> If you got warrants or something, that's the only I mean, if it's just if it's just a shoplifting, then you'll get released. >> Yeah, but like point system. >> No, it doesn't matter for this. That's only for more serious crime. You'll most likely get released. >> I don't know. They they they uh last time I went to the county. >> If it maybe you had a warrant, >> if it was an indictable offense, >> if it's an indictable offense or you have a warrant, >> a court warrant. Yeah. >> Yeah. But if you don't have a warrant, then you're not going to go to the county. All right. >> I got this offic. We're going to go inside. All right. >> So, you guys been cool with us? So, we got no issues. >> Yeah. Like, you guys, >> honestly, um, honestly, >> you guys can't go back in in the store, though. >> Oh, yeah. All right. >> All right. You can't go back to Dollar Tree. >> They don't want you back in there. You get back in there. you get yourself a trespassing charge which you're not getting now cuz they didn't tell you that in the past but you'll get that if you guys go back. >> No, I was just saying about the the power finanelia like you know what I'm saying? Like honestly >> I got to I got that bag from a guy know I know I was walking you know what I'm saying? Had the hat stuff up in here. >> In the end the couple was charged with retail theft and parole violations then taken into custody for processing. Overconfidence and repeated wrongdoing only guaranteed a harsher outcome. Ignoring the warning signs turned a minor theft into serious legal consequences. Next came another suspect who concealed merchandise but with chaos. >> Can I be honest with you? You just >> You don't even know your name. >> Dude, he said the name of that stuff. >> I'm going to give you my first bag. On March 24th, 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart in response to a report of concealed merchandise during a shopping trip. Upon arrival, officers coordinated with loss prevention and monitored the suspect through the surveillance cameras. >> Yeah. All right. Thank you so much. >> Where you at? >> Uh female. >> Where she at now? >> Uh in this area. That's her conceal. >> What she's concealing? Uh, she has HBA products and kind of knows what else. >> Where did she conceal that? >> Uh, that bag right here. >> Which bag? >> That black purse looks like. >> Yeah, it's a white bag. >> Could you zoom in to see any >> merchandise? All right. >> All right. We'll just keep eyes on her. We'll we'll go out to We'll just continue to watch her on camera. That's cool. >> Yeah. We check everything. >> Yeah. >> She she did pay for everything >> or she if she ditched it at some point. Did she say she saw you? >> Yeah. But >> the the bag was like when I first saw her, the bag was >> she about to leave now. So what were we going to do? >> I mean, you can talk or see what she says. I mean, it's just tough cuz we don't have 16 property. >> Yeah. What exactly is like I said we're there so she hard. So >> right afterward officers and store staff stopped her before she exited the store and suspicion only deepened evident even from the way she was dressed. >> Just want just want to let you know our body they are recording. All that stuff on the shelf. You >> want to open the bag? >> I do. >> Because everything I was going to get at a sports section went back on the shelf. >> In the sports section. What about our makeup? >> Your makeup still bottles inside the bag. >> Why don't we go inside the office and talk? >> Yeah. just >> you want video. >> Okay, let's just go in the office real quick and you know we can figure out >> Yeah. So, while ma'am, so while he's pulling out the video, um just going to kind of just explain everything. So, he he has you on video concealing merchandise in your purse. Okay, you hear me? Faced with what the surveillance cameras had captured, the woman appeared rattled and she soon fell silent when asked to provide her information. >> Do you have a ID? >> I do not. >> Okay. What's your first name? >> What's your first name, ma'am? >> Your first name is Princess. >> Ma'am, what's your uh first name? >> I want to see where you're at. you guys. He has it supposedly there, but it's right here. >> What is that? >> All right. What's your first name, ma'am? Cuz it seems like you're having some issues, you know, find out what what that is. So, >> no, I know what it is. >> It's in your bag. I believe this >> where your ID believe it's in there. >> That's it. >> Okay. >> All right. >> It seemed that her silence was merely time spent calculating how to handle the officers because moments later she still insisted she had done nothing wrong. And at this point, you're not free. You're not free to leave. >> Yeah. You're detained. >> You're not free to leave. >> What do you mean? >> That's shoplifting. >> That was an accident. >> But before Before we >> Before we before we get into Before we get into that, okay, >> we just need your pedigree information. Let's Let's just try not to make a bigger deal than what it is. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right. What's your uh first name? >> Can you spell it for me? >> C. >> Yep.

So, I'm just going to just give you just this warning just flat out. Just please don't lie to us. If you're found to be lying about your information, you will be charged with hindering. Okay. >> The situation dragged on pointlessly, so the officers decided to place the woman under arrest. But that decision only marked the beginning of an explosive confrontation. >> No, you're under arrest. >> Come on. I'm done for a reason. Can you give me a second? >> You're under arrest. >> No, you just stand up. >> Stand up. Come on. >> He just gave me He just told me he's giving me a chance behind your back. >> Can I be honest with you? You just >> You don't even know your name. Come on. Stand up. Turn around. You just said I spelled out the name and I stopped. I was breathing. >> You are under arrest. Can you please hear me? Can you please be calm? You're becoming me instead of them cuz he's screaming. He said he said, "Give me a chance." Right. >> He automatically started calling out the first name. Correct. >> Correct. I was I was repeating my bag. >> I'm going to give you my first name. Get off my goddamn >> Come on. Stop resisting. Stop resisting. Yes, you are. >> Leave me alone. >> Leave me alone. Please stop. No, >> you're on your leg. >> No, I'm trying. Get off me. >> Stop resisting. >> Stop resisting. I got her legs. I got her legs. I got her legs. >> Abuse. Get off. >> Give me your hand. >> Get off of me. Get off of me. This abuse. Ow. Abuse. I'm trying to get my glasses. Relax. >> Don't get off of me. >> Take your gloves off. >> Relax. Relax. Police brutality. >> Relax. Relax. >> You guys are using force.

You didn't have to do this. >> What is wrong with you guys? >> Okay. >> It seemed she truly tested the officer's patience as her tyrate of insults painted herself as the victim of the entire situation. >> I was going to give you my [ __ ] first aid. Why did you just wait a minute? I was breathing. >> I said you're under arrest. >> I was breathing. >> Triple tripled. >> I was breathing. >> Are you a sergeant? >> I am. >> The bad stolen property in there. >> No, you did not. You're a liar. >> Yeah, we did. And we told you. We told you placed under arrest and you resisted. >> No, I did not. >> No, it's cooler out here. Please stop. I have seizures. Please stop.

It's mine. >> Now resisting arrest. >> No, I'm not. He did not give me his name. Can you please stop, >> man? What's your first name? >> That's mine. >> What's your first name? >> I got there, sir. It's mine. >> What's your first name? >> That's mine. >> All this stuff before. That's my stuff. >> Where she at? >> Oh, okay. >> From claiming she was pregnant to alleging she had epilepsy, she brought up anything she could think of to resist. Yet it all rang hollow as she argued with officers completely normally moments later. >> What you have right there and >> nothing. >> Well, for my safety and your safety, keep your hands behind your back. >> My safety >> sounds like a threat. This is a threat. >> That's not a threat. >> Sounds like one. >> That's not a threat. >> Sounds like one. >> That's not >> Sounds like one. >> You are our responsibility and I want to make sure that >> y'all don't take care of your responsibilities. >> Take this.

Okay? >> So just please from that just cooperate with us. >> I am trying to I have a scratch. I have like >> let's not have any other problems and we can get this situated accordingly. Okay?

How you going to say we're done? How can you say we're done when him and I were talking? That's rude. >> Well, man, that there is no point in discussing what happened. What we could talk about is how we proceed forward. >> Okay. Who's giving me right back? >> She was charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest, hindering apprehension for providing false information, trespassing due to a prior ban from the store, and possession of a controlled substance. When someone chooses lies over accountability, a simple mistake can spiral into heavier charges and lasting consequences. In the next case, the police faced Lord for the first time. >> Oh, there you go. >> You can abuse me out. >> Yes, I can. >> Let go. >> Let my people go. I am the Lord. Stop. >> On September 27th, 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart after reports of a disruptive customer. The woman claimed to suffer from a psychological disorder, but displayed multiple acts of defiance. Upon arrival, an employee immediately updated the officers on the troubling situation. Jeremy's got her probably electronics. >> Electronics. >> Is she black or white? >> She's cognition. >> Okay. And what besides the being aggressive and everything, what do we have so far? >> Um, she's saying like she has, you know, psychological illness and I, you know, believe it, but she spewed off like a tilda effect. >> Oh. It's came >> making contact with them at the electrical services. >> Okay. >> Okay. Hey, Miss Campbell. Miss Campbell. >> Miss Campbell, stop. Clearly, the woman immediately turned in another direction upon seeing the police, fully demonstrating her refusal to cooperate, even after the officers called out to her multiple times. >> Miss Campbell, we just want to talk to you. She's got Miss Campbell, can we talk to you? Why won't you talk to us? >> Is it Miss Campbell 37? >> Be advised, changes to signal 66 at this moment. She's refusing to comply with all four things. >> Excuse us. >> Miss Campbell, you're trespassed from the store, so you got to leave. Are you going to check out? Her pace even quickened each time the officers drew closer. And when they finally reached her, she acted completely innocent, as if the police did not exist. >> Can I see your ID? Let's >> see if we can get her on the red marble. >> It's 19th or 20th. >> I think I know shadow >> any of the maros. One side of red marble and one half of new marble. >> We're not doing a transition. >> Yeah, they're transact. >> Oh, okay. >> What about our Mountain Dew? >> I I don't. >> Okay. >> Oh, there you go. >> Do you see her actions? After acting as if the police were invisible, she poured Mountain Dew on them. An act that only brought trouble upon herself. >> You cannot do this to me. Ow. >> Yes, I can. >> No. >> Yes, I can. >> I have money. 36 105 >> 30 to get a beat. >> We're going to stand up. Okay. >> Put your feet underneath you, Miss Campbell. >> Roll to the side. Roll the side, >> Miss Camel. We're going to have to do this easy way or the hard way.

You're dangerous. >> No, you will let go of my I necroman myself. Jesus is king. Let go. >> Let my people go. >> I am the Lord. Stop. >> Okay. Yes, ma'am. >> No. From acting like an unthinking doll to seeing herself as divine, no words can truly capture her state of mind. One thing is certain. The police would not be taking her away easily. >> I need my cigarette. Cannot take my help. >> Yes, ma'am. We can. >> No, I'm taking your bag. >> Go. Let go. >> Do not grab for my weapon again. >> Let's go. I didn't, dude. >> You cannot arrest me, dude. >> Okay, dude. kick. Go. >> Please don't kick. >> You did it. >> Please don't kick. >> Stop. >> Oh my god. Dude, >> stop kicking. >> Let go of me. >> Stop kicking. >> Take the cuff off right now. >> No, man. That's not happening. >> Calm down. This isn't you. You don't act like this. >> It's hard to >> calm down. Okay. >> You don't act like this. Where's your kids at? >> At my my husband's house. >> All right. Get it together. You don't act like this. Okay. Pull it together. >> Okay. >> We're going to stand you up. You're going to walk to the car. >> You understand? >> You're going to end up hurting yourself. >> Okay. >> You know, we can't take the cuffs off of you. >> All right. Just when it seemed the woman had calmed down and things might end peacefully, only a few minutes later she began displaying her madness inside the police transport vehicle. >> I can't. Dude, just open the door. >> Negative. I tell you, >> you don't know. You don't know who Elon Musk is? Yes, sir. >> We're going to get >> you don't know who Elon Musk is. I'm going to get in this car. Okay. >> Don't touch me again. >> Back the off. >> Nope. >> Give me my wallet, dude. >> I'm going to ask you one more time to live in this car and then I'm going to put you in the car. Will you please get in the car? Come on. >> No. >> Okay. Don't act like that. Come on. We've got a good report. All right. Don't make it any worse. >> I'm going to the gas station.

What do you need from me? >> I'm going to go back and check and see if she dropped anything. >> Okay. Uh maybe the keys. Her car was a I believe it's a Toyota truck. >> Toyota truck. >> Yeah. See about keys. That way they know what vehicle's here. >> All right, man. >> Finally, she was charged with assault, resisting with violence, disturbing the peace and trespassing. Her refusal to cooperate, combined with reckless and aggressive behavior, escalated the situation and guaranteed serious consequences. Next, the unsettled shoplifter with an appearance like the thief. >> I said, "Oh, by the TV, sorry, by the TV by the TV." The lady said they were open, so walk. >> Uh oh, there he is. All right. Pushes it through. >> On February 1st, 2025, police received a call from Walmart after a shoplifting incident was reported at the store. A man wearing suspicious clothing attempted to carry a TV out of the store without paying. When approached, he tried to make excuses for his actions. I walk out the store with a TV. >> I try to find you. Can I say something? I try to talk lady come back up here. >> You got a nasty ass bug coming for her. Yep. >> I get it. >> I get it. >> Yeah.

Relax. >> No, you ask the lady. >> Relax, man. Relax. >> No, ask the lady. >> The man rushed in his speech caused his story to become tangled and inconsistent. The officer beside him had a different account of the same incident. >> He came straight from the back. This is what they told him. police. So he grabbed the TV. He walked straight to the door. When he seen me, he tried to push it out the door and walk out the other side. >> Ask the lady. Ask the lady. Please. They not here to even >> What?

You got anything on you right now? >> No. >> All right. I'm going to pay you down. All right. >> The man spoke at the speed of an auctioneer. Almost childlike. And every time he mentioned the TV, he blamed it on some woman. >> That's an expensive TV, my man. You got the lady back there. I trying to get I trying to pay for gas lady back there. Can you please go talk to the lady? She's never open. I want to go talk to her. >> Listen. Listen. Here's the question. You didn't get hers. Why didn't you get nobody else attention?

He seen me, >> let the car go and then try to go to the other side of the door, try to walk. >> No, I he that door where he came from. That where he came from. >> He acted as if multiple witnesses would come forward to defend him. But it was not that simple. The man simply refused to take responsibility for his actions. You guys pay for it also. >> I was going to pay for it. I was going to pay I tried to do it at the same time. >> You were going to pay for it, but you didn't. So, you start to deal with it without paying for it. >> No, I went the door. I went out the door. I was I didn't just walk past the register. That's it. >> She said my door open.

All right. Pushes it through. >> Duty and a rescue. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. So, pass the last point of sale. I'll try ditching the cart. Can you do it one more time? That's 619.

So due to the time there was nobody uh there's no uh you can't cash out in electronics right >> right now I know they don't have a drawer back there. Okay, perfect. >> So that's why employees knew that he didn't pay for it, >> right? >> So everything was clear to everyone except the suspect himself who still insisted he was completely innocent. >> Did you let me let me out or whatever? >> Well, unfortunately there's no such thing as an IBON. We have something that um uh it's called a sight and release. It identifies as a sight and release, but it's pretty much an IBON. >> Rug here or what? idea. >> Um, no. >> You got to do it at the station. >> Do I get one? >> Yeah.

All right. >> In the end, the man was charged with retail theft and obstruction of justice as the name he had provided was confirmed to be non-existent at the station. Always be truthful and cooperative. Trying to manipulate the story only leads to more serious consequences. Before moving on to the next shoplifterss, meet this legless brat. >> Jordan, you need a hand down there. You good? I'm good. You got a hobble? I've got one up in my bag. >> On September 23rd, 2025, police responded to a call from the airport regarding chaos that occurred on a Frontier Airlines flight. The suspect reportedly refused to deplane when instructed. And upon arrival, officers saw that the woman showed no shame. >> She's on the plane. >> She's on the plane. >> Yes.

You can come off the flight with me or I can clear everybody out and then I can drag you off the plane. You >> clear everybody out. >> The woman had no intention of cooperating and exactly as warned, the police carried out measures to ensure the safety of the other passengers. But first, they needed permission from the flight crew. >> So, she's obviously not going to come willingly here. Yep. Um, so we're probably going to have to remove her off a plane. Do you want to clear out the area or >> It is your choice. We will leave it completely up to you. We worry more comfortable >> cuz my my worry is that if she starts to go fly right, going to hit somebody else. >> So, if we could just kind of clear the first four rows, the first four and then maybe the couple behind in case you like flutely. >> All right. off right here. >> Yes. You need a couple. Sorry. Where you guys heading here? Denver. >> Denver. >> Yeah. No, I'm making it out of Nashville today. It seems like >> Oh, there just the first couple rows. Sorry we had to do this to you guys. I just don't want anybody getting hit by anything if she starts swinging or something, you know. >> She just yelled out, "I actually have a bomb, but no one going anywhere." >> The woman attempted to threaten that she had a bomb on her after seeing the police take action, but none of it was true. The police then took even more decisive action against the woman. >> All right, let's go. >> Oh god. I said, "Oh, you want to It's going to explode." >> Let's go. We're We're not going to jump like that. >> It's going to explode. Oh. Oh, it's going to explode. >> It's right there. Hand behind your back. Thank you. Huh? >> Yeah. She said she had a bomb on the plant. >> Oh, that's fantastic. That's just another charge. Good job, lady. Can >> I disconnect this or am I cutting it? back is still there. >> It's still there. >> All right, guys. Get off. >> No, the bomb is still there. >> I promise God. Just keep making it worse. Hey, take this. >> The police successfully removed her from the aircraft, but the difficulty did not stop there. The woman made every step of the way anything but easy. >> Hey, Jordan, pull up sick. You can get her. I'm going to grab her legs cuz she's going to pull us both off of this. If you can get her torso. >> How could her? >> No, you've already proven you can't. Come on. Really? Stop hooking your feet. >> Your feet are >> here. I'll go. >> Let me get on that side and I can help you. Yo, >> you want me to act right? >> Now hand off. No, I think that's okay. Jordan, you need a hand down there. You good? >> I'm good. You got >> I can work. You got a hot. >> Sit down here. >> Sit down. You got a hobble? I've got one up in my bag. >> Immediately after the police had ensured all possible safety measures, they questioned the woman. But she cared about nothing other than herself. >> And I'm like, get off. Stop. We're going to have to pull her legs back out >> this time. What you doing? I do it. >> We've already told you what to do multiple times. >> Questions. >> I want to count my money on >> Do what? >> Count money. >> Yeah, we're going to count your money. All right. >> Together. >> Together. >> All at least. >> We're going to count it right up here on the way down to jail. Okay. Do you have anything on you? >> What? >> Do you have anything on you? Any weapons? Any drugs? anything like that. Okay. >> I need to make sure my mother floors get done. >> Dispatch, go ahead and get a metro number for >> public in talks to start and then we'll and I mean false reporting and then heaven forbid if it's not a false report then we'll go from there. Yeah. >> Okay. >> I'm surely resisting PI false reporting. The woman was charged with making a false bomb threat, a felony, along with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and public intoxication. Her bond was set at $31,000. Her action showed that reckless behavior and false threats only made a bad situation far worse, turning a simple refusal into serious felony charges and consequences that could have been completely avoided. >> For what? >> For shoplifting. >> I did not know. I just bought that shopping. My stuff. My officers are a liar. My staff. >> On January 4th, 2024, officers were dispatched to a subway after receiving reports that a woman suspected of shoplifting at Walmart had fled there. When they approached her, she appeared to have already prepared excuses for herself. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> Hi. We have somebody match your description that was shoplifting at the Walmart. M >> they said they took off towards the subway wearing an orange jacket striped by >> Oh yeah. No, I mean they said they thought I was but I don't have a flashlight I didn't have a flashlight that I got at their store. >> Okay. >> I got one at Harbor Freight a lot earlier >> and I have I got matches in a rope cuz I'm setting up my camp again and it's dark. You know what I mean? But I didn't need that. I just needed the matches in the rope so I could set up the tarp. >> Do you have a receipt >> um >> for the I thought you said you got matches in a tarp. >> Yeah, I got matches in a rope. Do you have a receipt for the transaction? >> Huh? >> Do you have a receipt for that transaction? >> No, I'm just getting a sandwich now. I don't know. I'm I mean I brought it all over here. >> Brought what? >> The rope. The rope finish. >> Okay. >> The officers quietly moved aside the items that she could not prove she had receipts for. And in the midst of the woman's confusion, they caught her off guard. For what? >> For shoplifting. >> I did not know. I just bought that. >> Okay. >> I didn't know. >> Hey, relax. You're being detained. >> For what? >> Shoplifting. You did this. >> I didn't shop. >> Relax. >> You have to make Please don't do this. >> Give me a hand. Give me a hand. >> Why are you doing this to me? I don't want to hurt you down right now. I hope everything by the time you can go every day for training. I want you in the hospital, dude. Why do you have to rescue? Why >> don't do that? >> My stuff. My office doesn't know my stuff. >> It's not important. It is important. That's not fair. Nobody should get my stuff because you're a jerk. >> Relax. >> That's not fair. >> Stand up. >> No. No. You had to be fair. Please, please, somebody be fair to me. Please, anybody, please be fair. Please. >> In reality, she was only detained on suspicion. And as the investigation continued, she did nothing to help her case and only created more complications. >> What's your name? >> Ma'am. >> What's your name? Ma'am, >> you going to get charged with silly? >> What's wrong? >> Now I'm trying to help you anyway. >> You're being very important. >> How are you helping me? Help. >> Well, I'm trying to figure out what's going on. >> You don't know [ __ ] about what's going on. I'm going to tell you. >> Okay. What's your name? >> It's not my business. Nobody will even let me know. >> What's your name? Nobody will even let me know. How am I supposed to help you? >> Okay. What's your name? >> How am I supposed to help you if nobody lets me know? >> You're going to get charged with consu if you don't. >> I'm finally just doing well minding my business. They calm me down. >> Okay. What's your name? >> No. >> No. >> Okay. >> Right after detaining the woman, the officers returned to the subway store to gather additional information. >> You guys see me right there? Did you see her hit by the officer? >> She came in and ordered a sandwich. She paid and everything and then Jess's restaurant. I told her they were out of order and then she just sat. Well, >> that's when I just showed up cuz I saw it going that way. >> Yeah. I don't know. I just >> Okay. Did you see any of that incident that happened right there? >> No, I I walked away. >> Okay. >> All right. Cool. >> They said that they went towards the back and they didn't see nothing. >> I know. I just feel like a I'm like, >> does that hurt? cuz I was like turning your wrist. >> Yeah, I didn't. That wasn't me. >> You going to take over there? >> Yeah. I'm going try to figure out her name. Have you dealt with her before? >> I never seen you. >> A homeless male that was hitting himself in the face and hitting his head on a brick wall. >> You okay? >> I don't know yet. >> Okay. >> It's your Mandanda warning. It's your Miranda warning. I'm sorry. Do you understand these rights? I've explained them to you. You don't understand them. So, what do you not understand? >> Are you going to ask me questions after you give me those rights? >> Yes. >> Why should I care what to do? I don't know what to do. >> Okay. >> I'm doing the best I can. >> I understand that. >> I cannot handle all this pressure. I didn't do anything wrong. >> Okay. >> The woman continued to deny every report without any proof. While the officers, on the other hand, had information that directly contradicted her claims and supported evidence of her actions. And the reason why we got called is because of a shoplift and I was reporting. I did see video footage of you. >> I'll be shoplifting. >> Yes. >> How? >> What's on video footage? >> Where did I lift? >> What do you mean? Where you lift? >> What did I lift? >> Like what' you grab? >> What did I shop for? That's not shoplifting. >> If you if you grab something and then you leave >> I pay for all the time. >> Okay. Do you have those flashlights on you? >> What? You guys took everything. I paid $10 for that sandwich that I'm not getting now because of you guys. >> Okay. >> You know how much that's cost and what I don't have. >> I'm sorry about that. that you've been to my house. >> I don't know what I'm supposed to do. >> Okay. Do you have any of >> What am I supposed to do? >> Okay. Do you have any of the >> And then when they let me out, what am I supposed to do then? >> Do you have any flashlight? >> These people that are going to laugh at me for getting arrested. >> Do you have any flashlights on you? >> I don't know. >> Do you have any >> I don't know what I have on me. I don't even know if I have clothes or not. I feel so stupid. >> You do have clothes on, man. >> Obviously, my flesh is my clothes. >> I'm asking your question. Well, I'm answering your question. Can I Can I check your pockets to make sure there's no flashlight so we can roll that out? >> So, yeah. Maybe you should just take everything out of value off of me because you already have. >> Okay. So, right now you're being detained. Okay. For the crime of shopping, >> obviously. Can I get out? >> No. >> Why? >> You're not free to leave. >> I'm not free to leave. I'm not trying to leave. What am I going to do? Leave in handcuffs and then run around like somebody's going to set me free? >> Like, I'm not just going to get thrown out and made fun of some more because I'm in handcuffs. I can't get out of >> She still believed she could walk away after everything that had happened. When questioned about the items suspected of being stolen, she denied it again, which only deepened the suspicion. >> So, can I check your pockets to make sure there's no flashlight in there? >> No. >> No. >> Is that going to stop you? >> No. Well, whenever we do a When you do get arrested for shoplifting, I will >> I'm not shoplifting. That's what I was saying. They were matches. Matches are supposed to be free. >> Okay. Well, >> I don't know about the rope. Maybe the rope. I'm sorry. >> But still, like, what is that so big? And where does it have me taking them? >> Okay. Two packages. It's just like a regular long flashlight and then the ones that has the like the LED bar. >> Mhm. >> You guys want to pursue for the shoplifting? >> Yeah. >> Why? Why can't you just kick at me and make me pay you? Like I would pay you. I just don't have that much to pay you all at once. >> 1948. >> Please let me pay you. >> Okay. Well, unfortunately that ship has sailed. >> I thought I was on a payment plan. >> No. >> Why can't I just pay you? >> There's there's no payment plan when it comes to Walmart or at least any business. >> That's bull. I had a $25 dividend from them. >> Okay. Do you have anything on you that could cut stab or poke me? >> I have a piece, but I'm not sure in my little change bag. >> Okay. >> What do you have right here? >> I don't know. >> You don't know? >> I don't remember. I have just drop everything to me and I don't know what I have on me till I get to a spot where I can take it all out and go through it. >> You have a golf ball. >> I juggle. I taught myself to juggle during the co. >> That's pretty cool. >> No, it's not. >> Is it difficult to learn? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Let's see. That's a useful. >> I don't think so. >> It is. >> Keep me from wanting to hurt myself or other people, but I'll get a very option to do it because nobody gives a about that. Finally, the woman was charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest. When confronted with evidence, staying calm, being honest, and taking accountability can prevent a bad moment from turning into a far more serious consequence. Worse, the woman seemed to naively believe she could deceive the police. >> Not the time to lie. It's already been identified as you. >> People that know you said this is you. >> What? When? >> Yeah. On July 7th, 2025, in connection with the theft of thousands of dollars from an elderly client, police approached a woman suspected of exploiting her role as a caregiver to commit the crime. She was later summoned to the police station to address the allegations. >> Hello. How are you? >> Thank you. Hey, I'm Detective White. >> Thanks for coming in. You're Manuela? Yes. >> Do you have ID on you by any chance? Do you have any patients today that you have to take care of? >> I'm just going to do this. >> Okay. >> Can I show you my >> Yeah, of course. Yep. Yep. You have a passport or anything? >> Does like take a picture of it or >> I don't know what that thing does. >> So, >> no. That's okay. So, do you remember this guy? >> Yeah. Was he like one of your patients? Was he how how was he to take care of? Like was he a nice person to take care of or was he >> difficult with you? >> How many? because I take care of him for >> Yeah. Like how long did you take care of him for? >> Not not long. It's >> not long. >> Not long. >> Maybe one or two months. >> Okay. >> The woman appeared hesitant in response to every question from the police. partly out of fear of being exposed and partly because her limited English made communication difficult. a concern she herself acknowledged. to work it was 7 a.m. >> okay >> to 8:00 a.m. But sometime I take only 20 minutes or 30 minutes. >> Okay. >> But he always can. Sorry my English is >> it's okay. You're fine. Don't worry. >> He's always in the morning when I give him some breakfast everything. So when I ask him can I make um lunch for you? >> He said no I have become friends. So I never sleep with friends. >> Mhm. But um him is he always told me friend coming but I don't know because sometime I'm coming 7 7:30. >> Mhm. >> 7:30 to 8. >> Okay. >> But never at night. >> But the work is 7 to 9 but I never stay for for night. >> Okay. Okay. >> It's 2 hour in the morning, 2 hour in the afternoon. >> Okay. I'm going to have to ask you some questions. Like don't don't feel like irritated that I have to ask you them. I just have to ask you these questions. >> The officer's question seemed ordinary on the surface, but her answer subtly revealed that she knew the elderly man had no friendships or visitors outside the hour she was present. At that moment, the police openly stated the true reason for the meeting. >> I told you I wanted to show you a picture of a gentleman. So, some checks of Mr. Barry's were cashed and they were cashed in the name of Jean Do you recognize anybody with that name? >> No, my my agency asked me before. >> Okay. And that name like means nothing to you or not like an old friend or an ex or anything like that? >> No. Nobody. Um, do you know if Mr. Barry had any friends named Jean? Did he have anyone visit him? No. I Some just one lady. She just come to fix the medication for me. That's it. >> Okay. >> And the first time I see someone, it was Walker. >> Walker? >> Yes. This one. >> Okay. Did Mr. Barry ever mention anyone named Jean? Did he ever say, "My friend Jean's coming over." or nothing like that. >> I haven't. I'm going to show you. Are you familiar with like the issue with the checks that he had? Like Mr. Barry had some checks that were taken from him. >> No. >> And somebody cashed them. >> Cash for him? >> Yeah. Like he had his checks. >> Mhm. >> For his bank >> and somebody named Jean, somebody wrote Jean on the checks and cashed the checks. >> Are you familiar with that? >> No. >> Okay. You're not familiar with anything that happened or you heard about it or >> No. No. >> No one asked you any questions? >> No. just my my my age. >> There was already a name linked to the checks used to withdraw the money and the woman completely denied knowing anyone by that name. So, what would happen when the police presented the image of the individual they had actually identified? >> Okay. Okay. I'm going to show you a picture of Jean. >> Okay. >> Do you recognize him? You never seen him before? >> Yeah. >> In passing, nothing like that. >> Okay. No memory at all. A pen. Okay. So, I'm I'm going to tell you this, okay? I don't I don't think everyone is a bad person. I think some people have circumstances in life that they deal with and sometimes desperate people do desperate things. Do you understand? I think sometimes um people have situations in their life like you're you're I don't think you're a bad person, right? Do you think you're a bad person? >> Bad person. >> No. >> No. You're a good person, right? >> Yes. But I think sometimes in life you can have situations, hard times that make you do things that are wrong, right? But doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you somebody who made a very bad mistake. Okay. >> The police tried to persuade the woman to confess, but the outcome left them disappointed. At that point, they already had evidence that exposed her lies. >> I'm going to show you. What kind of car do you drive? >> Um, Toyota. >> A Toyota. What color is it? >> White and blue. >> White and blue. Okay. Can you tell me who this is? Now's not the time to lie. I don't know. >> That's you. It's already been identified as you. People that know you said this is you. >> What? Blame. >> Yeah, >> that's clearly you. So, like I said, I don't think you're a bad person. I think you made a very bad mistake. um for whatever reasons you made the mistake. So why why would you do this? Why would you cash Mr. Barry's checks? >> You say I made a mistake. >> Mhm. You cashed Mr. Barry's check. >> I cash Mr. Barry's check. >> This is you driving your car. Don't play games. >> Okay. >> Yes. This is my car. >> Yes. And that's you driving your car. >> Yes. This is Yes. That's you. Okay. And that's you in that picture. Okay. I'm glad that we have honesty because honesty is very important. Okay. Cuz if you sit here and you continue to lie about it, it doesn't look good. >> This marked the second time the police attempted to persuade her to speak the truth about what had really happened. So when they pressed her for a reason, would she continue to cling to the lie? >> Ask you why. I'm going to give you an opportunity. Do you understand? An opportunity to explain to me why you needed to cash his checks. What was going on in your life? That you needed to do this. Doesn't make you a bad person. I don't think you're a bad person. I think you made a mistake. But I need to know why from you you did this. >> Did what? >> Cash his checks. But I never touched the the cash for for Mr. the name. >> So, why did you have his checks? >> I don't have the check your checks. >> These are you at the ATM, correct? That you just said. These are pictures of you, correct? >> Yes. >> Okay. This is you at the ATM putting this check into the ATM that says Jean Max Mortimer. Can I have a project girl? >> Can you have a who? >> Translator. >> Translator. >> What language do you speak? >> Creole. >> Crayole. Can we see if anyone speaks Crayola that could swing by here? >> Her language barrier was used as an obstacle, but it could not stop the investigation from moving forward. Shortly after, the police raised questions regarding the man named Gian. >> Dad? >> No. >> No. But that you lived with this man? No, I live by myself. >> You live by yourself? Did you ever live with this man? >> No. >> Cuz you both have a the same address in the common >> address the same. >> The residential address is the same as that guy. >> No. >> Okay. Um >> see if they can see how they can do the like >> thing. No, not really. Okay. So, >> I know she understands me, >> right? >> Um, you know, this is her opportunity to speak, but if that's what we're going to do here, then, you know, so you don't know Mr. >> Mr. the picture, the man that I showed you? >> No. >> Is there any reason why the two of you would share a bank account? While you and that guy in the picture have the same checking account. >> The same checking account. >> Mhm. >> No, I have my my my account by myself. >> Okay. Because you're getting direct deposits. Who do you bank with? Who's your bank? >> Chase. >> What happened to Bank of America? >> I have only one bank. Chase. >> What's the bank that you used before? Chase. >> Chase. No, you had Bank of America before. >> No, no, I never had Bank of Bank of America. >> Okay. So, whose account were you putting the checks in? If you never had Bank of America, whose account was this that you put the checks in? >> I don't have any check. >> She continued to deny everything, but faced with the mounting evidence, the police made the decision on the next course of action. >> Let me just hold these things. Okay. Yep. Turn around. You're under arrest. Put your hand behind your back. >> And can I have a lawyer? >> Yes, you could definitely have a lawyer. >> Uh, no. I'll do I'll do two cuz she's pregnant. Understand you're under arrest, correct? >> I'm under arrest for what? >> For check fraud and forgery. Cashing Mr. Barry's check. That's why I was trying to find out from you why. I know you understand me. It's It's okay if you don't speak well, but you understand, you know. >> So, and you can't fight the fact that you're on video catching Mr. Barry's checks. >> Do you understand that the the video? In the end, the woman was charged with grand theft, forgery, and exploitation of the elderly. The woman's repeated denials only worsened her situation, showing that cooperation and honesty with authorities are the best ways to mitigate consequences. >> Are you serious? >> You going to drink it right in front of me, man? >> [ __ ] Hit me. If you kick me, you going to get another >> I'm not going to kick you. Come over here. On February 20th, 2023, police received a complaint about a drunken man causing a disturbance in a store. Upon arriving at the scene, a posit they also learned he had used store products without paying. >> Can you come over here and talk to me for a minute? >> For what? >> Cuz I got a complaint. >> How about you walking in here with an open container? >> I did. >> And making and making complaint or making people feel >> I didn't mean nothing. I was just mad because I asked her a question and she act like she couldn't answer my question. >> Okay. All right. Stand up for me. >> What? >> Where's that open container at? >> It's over here. >> Where's it at? It's over there. >> There. Are you serious? >> You going to drink it right in front of me, man? >> I apologize. >> Put the bag down. Put the bag down. >> Oh my god. Put the bag down. >> All right, I'm about to Don't grab me.

Don't make this harder than what I asked. >> I didn't do >> Why are you arresting me? >> I don't want to. >> Although he tried to drink an unpaid can of soda right in front of the police, the man continued to insist he had done nothing wrong. His next actions only escalated the chaos. >> Wait with you. All right. >> Why are you arresting me? I didn't do [ __ ] Stop. >> I ain't doing nothing though. I didn't do nothing. Get on the floor. Get on the ground. I ain't doing nothing though. That's what I'm saying.

That's it. >> I didn't come in with Go up your hands right now. I'm not going to say it again. Under arrest. Stoping around. Stoping around. What? I didn't do nothing. Put your arms behind your back now. >> Oh my god. Unless they stop. >> Oh my god. All right. What did I do? Cuz I came here with a beer. What the? That's crazy. >> Seven. One male detained. >> The recent chase had already disrupted the store aisles. Yet the man, seemingly unconcerned, continued behaving as if he had the right to act that way. >> Yeah, I've been sitting here drinking a beer. >> All right, so what you do? Just knock that over? >> Yeah. No, we did not. We knocked over. Yeah, that Yeah, that's his beer, right? >> Yes. >> Look, I'm soaked. >> And what what is that? >> I came in with that from another store. >> You bought all that? Yeah, I got I got cash, bro.

I'm already homeless as [ __ ] I don't want to go to jail. He used being homeless as an excuse to gain sympathy from the police, but his actions were far from deserving pity. Shortly after, the contents of his bag revealed the truth. >> Do you know if any of this is your guys's? >> Oh, yes, definitely. Mostly all that. When he came in, that was empty. >> Okay. >> It only had bottles in it when he came in. >> What kind of bottles? It was all I saw was just like pop like was there. It's like orange top. That's all I see. >> Okay. So, all this is probably yours. >> Yeah. All the came. That's >> This is yours. >> Mhm. Oh, wait.

I said, "You just walked past it." He looked at me. >> Thus, the shoplifting charge was solidified. While outside, the pat down unfolded amid intense struggle and resistance. I want to scratch my nose. >> You're not scratching your nose. >> Why are you reaching? >> I'm not reaching. Just get off my arm. >> My arm like here. I'll pull my man all the way down. >> I ain't got to hide. Get the my arm right there. [ __ ] You got more money? >> Yeah, I got money. Why? You need some money?

I ain't no child. >> This was far from the behavior of a guilty person. >> While everything was clearly evident, he alone ignored his own wrongdoing. >> You are going to charge me for what? For nothing I did. You're going to charge me because you're a cop from Lakewood and this is what you going to do. Even though you a black man like I'm a black man. You know what I'm saying?
