Man, you got a [ __ ] little bit of authority. Yo. Yo. >> On the 25th of December, 2025, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report about a man committing theft there. At the scene, employees also provided more suspicious footage of him. >> [music] >> He's putting down food and stuff is coming down towards uh crash. There he is coming back up. He watched the whole food store. I'm assuming y'all are going to want to prosecute. >> Uh probably yes. I mean I don't know why he's stuck in a book bag. The only thing that I saw I saw was actually just like this back wall. I can't get a shot of him. Yeah, he hid he hid some stuff in that back wall. He was standing in front of the house. This camera I don't know if he went down to that back bathroom or if he went down first. I lost him. He went to the ground. So he finally passed the lake farms and went where police stand. >> Police waited for the moment he stepped past the final point of sale, but he never did. Instead, he moved into a blind spot of the cameras, raising even more suspicion. >> You can see just blowing up from the angle. Yeah. Yeah. They're coming in to take a look. See if he's still in here somewhere. >> He's probably toward garden. That's the area he's walking towards. He was going >> to 21. I think he's either in the back bathroom or in the garden area. >> He went to I said he went I lost him in crash. That's when it came. So, he was going to >> back bathroom. >> Should be all the way in the back. But we have a lot of exit the garden center because number one the bus be on that end on this camera. I'm just trying to get to it. You don't mind if I Oh, here we go. Walk a little bit closer if you >> I want to walk around and see if >> I'm still going to keep looking. Like I said, >> just as the officers had anticipated, they approached him inside the restroom and he was immediately detained in an extremely panicked state. the hold up. What? That's uncalled for, dude. >> No, you trying to pull >> I am not trying to pull. All right, I'm going to pull the record. This is I haven't done anything [ __ ] wrong, man. I haven't done anything wrong. Why are you treating me like this? This is man the [ __ ] This is goddamn You can keep y'all in the damn Texas. >> It don't [ __ ] matter, man. Why aren't I don't even know what the I did, dude. I'm coming in here to get the restroom. The [ __ ] man. You're taking your goddamn power to I'm in DUI court. You guys are [ __ ] doing this to me, man. >> I came in here to use the bathroom. >> What the dude? >> All right, let's go. >> Dang. Is wrong with y'all, man? >> What is going on? I want to know what's going on. >> The man reacted aggressively to deny his actions. And even during the escort, officers did not have an easy time handling him. Hey, last time >> I have not done anything, man. This is >> why. Okay, can y'all explain to me why I'm getting why am I getting arrested? Why am I getting arrested? This is man. What the have I done? Can you tell me what the I've done? No, you can't. Where's T? Is Tyler Hornney working? >> Uh-huh. >> No. >> What have I done? That's what I want to know. >> We'll tell you. >> Why am I getting arrested and being publicly displayed out here in front of everybody? Why is that? >> You're making a bigger scene, man. >> I am not making a big scene. Y'all Y'all have me arrested in handcuffs walking me through goddamn Walmart for no reason. Explain that to me. I was in the bathroom using the restroom. That's all I was doing. Explain that to me. Explain it. Explain it. >> Inside the loss prevention office, officers gave him the explanation he had demanded, but he clearly refused to accept it. >> You're arrested for shoplifting and obstruction. >> Concealing pants. >> Concealing pants or pants? >> Those are mine. >> Yeah. play. >> Yeah. >> I've been having those are in my bag. Those were mine. >> Show us. >> I've had them. >> Let's go ahead and go to the back. Okay. >> Y it's ridiculous. The ceiling pants. Those are my pants. I I brought them in there. I had them in my bag the whole time. >> This looks brand new. I bet that's one of your >> That ain't mine. I've been your bag. Let me show you. I got one for my face.

I want to see I want to see myself putting them in my bag. >> His denial came in vain and changed nothing. When everything failed, he began lashing out with insults. >> Y'all good here? >> Man, you got [ __ ] a little bit of authority. [ __ ] y'all. [ __ ] y'all. >> [ __ ] y'all, man. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> [ __ ] y'all. Let's go. >> You have our >> [ __ ] y'all. I don't give a [ __ ] Let's go. Listen to >> whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Let's go. Let's go.

Y'all for [ __ ] y'all. In the end, the man was charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest. When someone chose to escalate a situation instead of cooperating, it only made the consequences heavier and removed any chance of leniency. Next, meet this speech impaired shoplifter. >> I haven't dizzy. On the 7th of October 2024, police responded to a report from Target regarding the suspicion that a woman had taken numerous items despite not having the ability to pay. And when approaching her, police seemed to encounter communication difficulties with this woman. >> Hello. >> All right. Do you have uh you got an idea in real quick? >> No, you're not. You're not in trouble. All right. >> I'm talking about my mom stuff. I went outside. >> You got you got anything about your your name on it? >> No, I am not. >> Nothing your name on it. >> No, my house. >> All right. >> Here. And my mom. >> What's your first name? >> Melanie. >> Melanie. >> Yes. >> Can you Can you spell it? >> No, I cannot. I remember. I have Oh, >> your stroke. >> Yeah. >> Is it uh >> M E L A N I E? >> M E L A N I E. >> Yeah. >> You have a middle name. >> What's your last name? >> Yeah. >> So, >> okay, perfect. There seemed to be a reason for the communication difficulties, but would you have believed it? Leave a comment below. As questioning continued, her statements began to contradict each other. >> Give us a second. Okay. >> I don't I haven't said nothing. I car [clears throat] >> you said you're going to pay for all this? >> Yeah. >> Where's your car? >> Where's your You got Where's your cars at? is in my my car is in my mom my mom's car in my >> Where's at? >> Right here in house. >> You guys want to go ahead? We'll meet your own. We're done with her. >> Gotcha. >> All right. Sounds good. I love that child. There are car right here. >> Did you not put your name on it? >> No, I did not. Car right here. >> What's your mom's name? >> We're not reading it. >> Okay. >> Can I see your wallet? No, you cannot. >> Police confirmed the store's request to remove the woman from the premises and recover their merchandise. And it was at that moment they discovered further suspicions surrounding the items she was carrying. >> For how much? >> They said they need to get this bag. >> You said she's going to pay. >> Yeah. because you want you got to take your merch. I saw you. >> No, >> take your take your property. >> Take your bag. Wherever is yours? Anything from the store? You got to leave. >> You got to leave the stuff from the store. >> Leave the stuff. >> No, this is mine right here. >> Did you already buy this? >> Yeah. Where did you buy this? >> I bought this from CVS. This is from CVS. >> This isn't from CVS. No, it's not. >> I am from down to >> Let me see a receipt. >> I am from where? >> Let me see a receipt. >> Oh, where did you go? >> Did he say Oh, this is >> This is not right here. Right here. There's >> right here. It's from Target. >> No, it's not. That's harder than it has to be. Can >> you see the receipt? >> Yes, you do. >> Yes, you do. >> It's not. Can I see that? Let me see it. >> Hold on. >> This is all from here. All this is from Target. >> We're just going to make sure that it's not >> All this is from Target. This is all from here. >> You can take your bag. You can't take this. >> This has to stay. >> The woman knew exactly what she was doing. Despite being ordered to leave, she continued to make things difficult for police by giving multiple excuses to linger around the store. is not going this way. >> You're going that way. >> Over here. >> Let's go. >> You're going that way. You're hitting me. You're going that way. >> Oh my. >> You're going that way. Let's go. We're going to go to the front door. >> I don't want to go. throw us over there. >> Come on. >> Thank you so much. >> Watch out. You're going to >> come in. Smart >> my mama >> walking sideways >> my ass hurting me. >> Let's go. I outside me on me from a pain. Come on this way. >> Police also noticed signs that she was having issues with her leg. So they offered assistance, but it seemed what the woman truly wanted was chaos soon after. >> All right. Do you want to go to the hospital or not? >> Yes. >> Huh? All right. Can you stand up? Can you stand up for me? Do you want to get handcuffed in front of you or handcuff me? >> Do Do you want to go to the hospital or >> No, I'm not underrest. >> All right. Hi. You're under arrest. >> No, not >> Yes, you are. >> No, not >> Do you want Do you want to go? >> I arrested. I do not grab your left arm. I'll grab your right arm. >> I f I dizzy. >> I found >> I felt dizzy. >> No, stop. >> I felt dizzy. >> My whole body. I say >> hospital you when you go to the hospital. >> No, how about good? She kept complaining about her condition, not to seek help or sympathy, but simply to pressure the officers into doing things her way. the whole enabling. [crying] >> I'll get you go. I feel I lock me up. I had a baby. Let's go. Ambulance is right there. Let's go. last minute. >> Okay. >> And the bag. >> You're welcome. Come on. >> In the end, the suspect was charged with retail theft. [music] Using excuses and chaos as a shield only makes the consequences worse. Avoiding accountability turns one bad decision into an even bigger mistake. Next, let's take a look at a form of fraud that had become increasingly common. >> Have you had any contact with them? >> I'm not answering questions. I'm just sorry. >> So, question. Ask the lady if I give her money back, I'll give her something in writing cuz I didn't do nothing wrong. >> On November 12th, 2025, police contacted a woman who was believed to be the victim of a home sale conducted through Facebook Marketplace. Let's see what happened next. You want to start at the beginning for officer Keeper? >> Oh yeah. Um Oh god. So he sold me this trailer >> yesterday. I bought it. Uh he told me I could wait until the end of the month to switch lot rent over so that way I didn't have to pay lot rent. I figured he was just being nice because I'm a single mom with two kids just trying for none of us to be homeless at this point cuz I it's been a [ __ ] show. Um so I ended up calling the the company today, the Oakwoods, just to like clarify cuz he says he's moving out of state. So, I'm like, I need to clarify and make sure he doesn't need to sign anything. Like, I'm I just want to get this out of the way, >> right? >> She decides to tell me, "Oh, he's been trying to scam people. He cannot sell this. He cannot have anybody else live here because he owes them over $5,000." >> Mhm. >> So, I'm like, "Okay, great. That's cool." So, we came here. We didn't tell him we were coming here cuz I was going to show up without him knowing because based on how quick he's moving, he knows what he did and he's getting the out of the state. >> I was calling him left and right on things. This is the title that I watched his girlfriend sign. It is not in his name or his girlfriend's name. >> This was yesterday signed it. >> Yes. Yesterday. >> But you said she signed it. >> She signed it. The girlfriend signed it. Yes. >> Yes. And so I was like, well, for my legal obligations, like I need contact to make sure this is okay. He provides me one number. I call the number. This guy has no clue what he's talking about. I ask him what the address is. He says, "Oh, I don't know. It's important." And I say, "Okay, what's your first what's your middle name and last name?" He goes dead silent. I said, "Hello." He said, "Oh, hang on." And then says nothing. He doesn't know his own middle name or last name. I know it's not him. >> Yeah. >> So then I call him and I'm like, "Okay, well maybe he sent me the wrong number. Like maybe you typed out the wrong number. I don't know. I don't I don't know. I wouldn't assume people would be this." >> In reality, the current scene was the residence of the suspect's girlfriend who had already displayed extremely tense and aggressive behavior prior to this incident. >> Is she here? >> Yeah, she's inside. >> Okay. I just haven't seen >> I will give you a heads up right now because my stepdad was here before I got here. He got out to try and talk to him and immediately it was an altercation. I don't know 100% what happened cuz I was not here but I know a table was flipped >> and then he pulled a knife out on my stepdad. So then my stepdad pulled out a knife as well and was like I have one too. Like what do you want to do about it? And that's all I know about that situation. But I I will say that that altercation did happen. >> Yeah. I myself have been over here probably a hundred times. So I'm well aware. No, no, no. Here. >> I'm well aware. So he doesn't own this. This forer supposedly unless that's a fake title. Do you think the office would have that info on who actually owns it? >> What I'm thinking is female half essentially for a document. >> Yep. to potentially have forgery on her and then theft by deception on him >> cuz it was paid to him. >> That was what was believed to be the police's initial decision. And at that moment, officers proceeded to approach the house where tensions quickly escalated once again. >> So Brian, what's going on with this? >> We sold her this trailer. We've never put the title in her name. We're like, "Hey, we know the guy." We gave him the number. She's in like he's drunk. So my wife starts relaying everything they're saying through her phone >> to them. And she's like, "Oh, well you guys don't own the trailer. If I didn't own the trailer, I wouldn't have title when we signed it. The title signed. We own the trailer. We never put it in our name. You don't have to put it in our name." By law, they the trailer court said we didn't have to put in our name. So we never put the title in our name. I have the mess where I borrowed the money from the other dude talking about I sold the trailer. I'm going to have to get something in writing from you so so I can pay you back the money I owe you. There's He's starting to say there's $5,000 owed on this trailer. No, there's not. There ain't no $5,000 owed on this trailer. Lot rent 631 a month. Been paid since I got here. So $5,000. There's no way. >> Well, that's according to the office. >> Yeah. And I tried nobody's answer. She said, "I just talked to him, so I called up there." >> Mhm. >> They closed at like 3:30, but you talked to them 10 minutes before you came here. No, they already knew we were putting trailer up. So since DCFS came and took our kid >> because of all the [ __ ] >> we told them it's sold. She goes, "All right, sell it. We'll start sending people down there. How >> that's the bird that we bought the trailer from like a year ago. >> Okay. Do you have his number? >> The last number I have is the number I gave her to him. I got him on Facebook, too. >> Yeah. If you could give me his number. >> Yeah. >> Are you supposed to go through the office when you sell? >> No, you don't have to go through the office. You own the trailer. I bought it. Never registered. I have where he where I can show you his text right here. I'm going to go back to >> Why would you never get a title? told us we didn't have. >> His arguments became increasingly illogical as he appeared to be making excuses for his actions and desperately trying to justify them in a roundabout way. >> One and I told her if it is that big a deal tomorrow when my bank opens, I'll go give her the money back cuz it ain't really an issue with the money. But they came over here acting crazy and we're like, "What are you talking about? We screwed you over. We don't screw people over. We have no reason to. We gave you the title >> the same way it was given to us." >> So who signed the title? >> He did. We've had that title since he did it, but it was just wasn't dated. >> Okay. >> And we didn't date the title. Here's where I bought it back in for 30,000. Two-bedroom, two bath. >> Mhm. >> I don't got nothing to lie to you about cuz I know what I own. Go here to marketplace. I scroll all the way down here. Here it is. Sold. That was way back then. I own the trailer. >> Okay. Well, what I'm saying is according to that title, you do not. >> So, who owns it then? Looks like whoever this own. >> No, I own it cuz here's where. >> So, was it left open and then when you sold it yesterday? >> I just never It sounds like Katie signed. >> No, no, no. Sign the title. I have the stuff right here. Okay. [music] >> Signed it. They just It was never dated. The only thing we told her is you'll have to date it cuz it wasn't dated. But everything was signed. Nobody signed nothing. That title was signed. It's been in my safe since I got the trailer. We got the title. We never put the title into my name. Okay. Because we were told by the previous man. >> So then you're saying it was signed and Katie just dated it yesterday. >> No, we didn't even date it. There was no sign. The only thing that was on there was a signature and a print. >> Then who dated it? >> She had to because we didn't date it. I told her yesterday it ain't dated. So whenever you choose to go deal with it, it's it's on you. We never dated it. >> Okay, that doesn't make sense to me. >> I told her to date it. When I handed her the title and she handed me the test, said there's no date on it. >> Meanwhile, the man's girlfriend was interviewed separately, but her behavior only raised even more suspicion. He sold the We sold the house. >> Okay. >> And she wanted the house, so she gave us the money. >> Mhm. >> And Yeah. >> Okay. So, she gave you the 2,000. And then do you know this guy that the title is on? >> I wasn't here. I I moved from Indiana in May. >> All right. Right. >> Yeah. >> But have you had any contact with him? >> I'm not answering questions. I'm just >> Well, hold on. You guys aren't leaving. You're staying here. >> That's fine. We'll stay here. But I'm really curious to what what you're trying to get at cuz I >> I'm trying to get down to the bottom of it is what I'm trying to get. >> I just told you if you give me an email, I'll email you where this guy called, dude. Ask him to sign his title and I have it >> when >> when I first bought it. >> Hold on. I got to answer this question. Go for it. >> Alpha Omega. >> How much longer? Cuz I got to go meet somebody. >> I don't know. Other officer is talking to the office right now. Okay. Cuz I I there's that note on this. >> Okay. I'm just saying he's talking to the office right now. >> Like I told her, I give her the two grand back tomorrow when my bank opens. >> Yep. >> She don't she Yeah. She don't want the two grand. >> So, did you have >> her name is got double check? >> Yeah. Phone number looks like that she received. >> After that, police confirmed that the phone number claimed to belong to the owner was actually his wife's number. and they proceeded to make their decision on the case >> because that's when he sent me that >> reasonable forgery and left by deception for her and left by deception for him. >> Okay. >> Like you guys have any idea cuz I got to get this appointment. >> Yeah, just hang tight for us. >> All right, Brian. Mind get off the phone for me. >> For what? >> You're going to be under arrest. >> What am I being arrested for? >> Hands behind your back. >> All right. Can I be full? >> Theft by deception. >> How? I'll get theft when I just said I'll give the lady back her money. >> Yesterday I said it three times when your body came. I bought the trailer and now I'm going to jail. >> You don't have to squeeze my >> I'm not squeezing. >> I'm just holding on cuz if you fall that's on me. >> All right. Can uh you give my wife Can I talk to my wife for a second? >> Well, just hold tight. >> What did I steal though? Or what did I that cost? How did I >> by deception for $2,000? >> For what though? >> Cuz you have no authority to sell that. You have >> you can't sell that until those lot fees are >> who said that >> the office >> who the tra the hold on in is it did they show you the lease in my name? >> That doesn't matter. You can't sell it because they told us we could though. >> No, they didn't. >> I have the text messages from the management and nobody's asking for the proof. >> We just talked to the management. They said that they can't that you can't sell it. You have back fees on it. >> That's I didn't know that. I just if I >> Well, they wouldn't tell you that they could. >> So, question. Ask the lady if I give her her money back. I'll give her something in writing because I didn't do nothing wrong. I'll give her something in writing. I'll go get her money tomorrow. Not my account. >> That'll be something for later. But for right now, no, that's not it. >> The man was charged with theft by deception, while his wife was charged with theft by deception and forgery. Trying to outsmart the system with excuses, fake documents, or half-truths only deepens the consequences. One dishonest decision can cost freedom, reputation, and everything built around it. Next, meet the woman with her extensive experience facing the police. >> She said she bought if she got four items: tide, TV, and trash bag. >> I don't want to touch nobody have a flesh, too. >> I got you. >> All right. That's why I don't want to do that. >> On April 23rd, 2024, police responded to a report of an ongoing theft at Walmart. Upon arriving at the scene, they saw the suspect attempting to leave and immediately blocked her path. >> Ma'am, sit back in your car. >> Okay, >> I pay for this. >> Okay, sit back in your car. We'll figure this out in a second. >> All right, here. Pull up a couple more for you so I can get behind you. >> Okay. Central Park. Stop. >> Yeah, just for now. >> Okay. Can I talk to you for a second? >> Yeah. No, we're going to Trust me, we're going to figure it all out. You got your DL on you real quick? >> No, I don't. >> I had just bought this car. >> Okay. Just here. Sit down. Relax for a second. Okay. >> I have a flesh eating bacteria, sir. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Yep. I see. >> And I had came here to get this stuff. >> Okay. >> I just bought this car. The dude that I bought it from went to jail. >> Okay. So, I'm having problems with you. >> We'll go let's go in the AP office. >> Well, no, cuz I didn't do nothing. >> Well, you know, we're fine. >> Well, here's here's what we're >> I don't want my car to hold this and stuff cuz I need my stuff. >> All right. All right. I will try and help you as much as I can. >> I don't want to touch nobody flesh. >> I got you. All right. >> That's why I don't want to do that. >> Clearly, the woman had no intention of cooperating, using even her bacterial infection as an excuse to prevent police from touching her. It was noted that this was not her first encounter with law enforcement. Hey, so what's your uh what's your first name? >> Maria. I have a warrant in Collinsville, but they told me all I had to do was come in and that's what I plan on doing yet tomorrow. >> Maria, what's your mail? >> Before I went into the hospital. >> What's your mail initial? >> I don't have one. Sorry. >> What's your last name? >> I don't got no lighter. >> I got you. You got a phone number. >> Um, >> okay. Let's figure out I'm figure out what's going on. >> I didn't steal nothing. Okay. Well, all right. >> 135. Copy one. 27 29. >> All right. What's up, man? What's going on? >> Did she actually get the stuff or >> Yeah, the girls. The girls know. >> Okay. I just needed some mail to get here. >> Yeah. >> So, what did she buy? >> She's looking for a lighter. >> It looks like >> she got the TV. >> Yeah, it looks like she got the TV. She got a bunch of stuff. Other stuff like the vacuum and tides and stuff like that. >> What did she not pay for? >> That's what I believe she didn't play for. The girls know uh we got to find out. But this is what she did pay for. >> Yeah. Okay. Correct. >> All right. >> The woman's claims were completely at odds with what the store employees reported. But in the loss prevention office, police learned further that this was not her first offense. >> This is a This is a fun one. >> All right. Just kidding. What we got? >> So, she paid for this stuff. office. >> She come She miss all the time at this time. Thank you. >> She had way more stuff. >> This her third time this week >> that she stole? >> Yes. She only got caught today. >> Well, they got four items on her. >> She pushed out a uh a TV where on Sunday? >> Well, the TV she's got a TV on there. >> Yeah. No, no.

I'm trying to get her coming in because she saying she came in with all that stuff. She did not >> She said she's what? >> She said she came in with all that stuff in her boob. >> All right. Well, let's see what's going on before we >> But you did the video walking out with it. >> Yeah, I know the charm that she did >> because if she tried to make an argument to one of you guys that she came here with the stuff, right, then we need the first thing we need to do is validate she walked in the store. >> Yep. Cuz look, that's her. >> Yeah. >> And that's all the stuff. >> That's a whole different table. >> Oh, I don't know. >> In [snorts] fact, the store employees had thoroughly tracked the woman, what she took, and even what she did with the items she had stolen. >> A vacuum every time, so I knew that vacuum was on there. She reselling the stuff on Facebook. >> She out here explaining to him. They're fine. So, it's fine. You can see on her more options out there. Yep. >> Are they making her come in? >> There she is. >> All right. Y Let me see. >> Let me see these other items. We're going to make her watch, too. All right. So, I see. Oh, yeah. >> All right. So, that's at least. >> All right. Yeah. Just stay right there. >> Yep. And she said she bought She got four items. Tide, TV, and trash bag. >> So, she paid for Tide. She paid for hefty trash. >> Okay. >> And she got the TV. >> But we have She has plugins. She has this what? 1347. Just leave it right there. >> Okay. >> 126 135. >> She thought I wanted to come in here during the day. >> All right. She ain't come in here. So, >> okay. Let me stand back here. >> All right.

Can I call somebody to come get it? >> Yeah, you can. Can I use the phone? Clearly, she deliberately complicated everything, seemingly trying to delay the moment she would be handcuffed, even acting as if she fully understood what would happen upon her arrest. >> Not want that. >> You know what? I'll get out of jail tomorrow. if they they Yeah. Because here's the thing is listen with these people with the jail um >> with the jail their their main their main goal is keeping that out of the population.

If Listen, normally if that car got towed for a felony retail theft, which is a felony, it would be $500 to get that in. >> If Officer Goodman's letting you park it on the lot, he is he is cutting you on. >> I don't want to lose my car. I don't care if I got to walk. So after after we do the whole So after we do the whole salad thing. >> Yes. So it's going to be two things.

But I got to take you back. All right. So the more cooperative you are, I'm helping you out with the car. Okay. >> I appreciate that. >> Under the officer's persuasion, she reluctantly accepted being handcuffed, though with great resistance. That's another day. I'm still in the damn pan. >> All right. So, I'm just going to scare you in the car for now. All right. Let's turn around and then we'll figure out the rest of your tie. Is that all right? >> Oh 135 mill custody. Hold on, ma'am.

This is a straight razor. >> Why do you have a straight razor? >> Because I'm black and I go through a lot of stuff. >> Heard that. Um >> the woman was charged with misdemeanor retail theft and resisting an officer without violence. Always cooperate fully with law enforcement. Attempting to evade responsibility or manipulate the situation only worsens consequences. While honesty and compliance can help mitigate the outcome. >> It's a blue dre. It's on a rack right by the register of a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. >> Well, it could be from Target. >> Double check. And then if it's a shampoo. >> Yeah. >> On December 24th, 2024, officers stopped a car showing suspicious signs. But the incident didn't end there. The moment they saw the driver, they realized she was a familiar face. And what unfolded next turned the situation into something far more explosive. >> Hello. >> Hello. How you doing? >> Wonderful. >> You got your uh driver's license? >> Yes. >> Your tags expired? >> Yes, I know. All right. You have a registration for the car? It's the old registration >> cuz I'm having a problem getting >> cuz I lost my um my title to it and I did a title loan in Georgia. So, I'm having a problem getting my stuff registered here in Florida. >> All right. Do you have a driver's license? >> No. the last 4 took my um driver's license. Took my driver's license. >> Oh, that's definitely you. You guys old enough to drive or >> Okay. All right. You look awfully familiar. >> Yeah, you do. Target, correct? >> Yum. Did you buy something at? >> No, the line was too long. I was actually going there to change some stuff. Then I picked up a blue dress which I put back and cuz the line was too long. I hung it right there by the uh register and then I left out. >> So this woman wasn't just involved in a traffic violation. She admitted [music] she had been a target before. At that moment, officers approached the Kohl's employee and the story they heard was nothing like what the woman had claimed. >> All right. She she um came in with this bag and she had something from another store as well cuz we don't sell this and she was putting stuff in here and she >> actually walked out with stuff. >> Yeah. In this bag, which we sell. She grabbed it when she first came in. >> You know roughly how much? Um >> yeah, >> well after I rang this up, um there's some stuff I'm not able to make out, but for the most part, this is the stuff that >> Oh, that's just that. >> No, not this. It was um like a different size, different color type stuff, but this is like the brand and everything. >> Okay, I see. >> Yeah. >> Um >> cuz the exact items we just kind of had one of. >> So like I can get like a different size. >> We had the car stop. Were you able to jump in and >> Yeah. >> identify? >> Yeah. >> All right. One second. Um, >> were there were there three other people with her? >> I only saw two other people. There was a younger girl looked like with headphones on and then there was somebody in the passenger seat when they but it was only those two that were inside. Her and then I guess it looked like her daughter with headphones on and then there was somebody in the back seat when they drove off. She had like a cigarette smoking right when she got in the car. The moment they received that information, combined with her current violations, officers at the scene made their move before she had any chance to slip away again. >> Sir, >> um, yeah, >> that one right there. >> Yes, she was the maga 32 10 for ID. What are you doing? >> Yeah. >> All right. So, here's here's the deal. >> I'll let you kids get your jewelry. Um, take out time. Your property belongs to >> Okay. But that's the thing. I didn't I didn't take anything. I put the dress back. It's going to It's going to rat out the register. That's what I'm saying. I didn't take anything. >> Okay. >> I didn't take anything. >> Bear with us a few minutes. >> Yeah. Okay. No problem. >> Either way, you drive regardless of what happened here. You're good. I'm good. >> No problem. >> I'm going to run over there. I'll try to get over. >> Okay. No problem. >> But you're saying it was a dress. Did you go back on the rack? >> It was a blue dress. I got in line. They'll see. I got in line. The blue dress is still hanging there. It's on a rack with a bunch of uh like uh miscellaneous stuff. It's a blue dress. It's on a rack right by the register with a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. Okay. >> She insisted she hadn't taken anything, insisting that if anything happened, it went exactly as she said, but the truth hit fast. Officers soon confirmed the lies when they and a person. Then they found the bag she had stashed in the car. >> Yeah, they right here with me. We standing right here by almost right here by the second inch by the second inch by the pharmacy. >> Okay. >> The bag Now check on your bearded dragon. airport. All right. you the car or >> no what I'm going to do is >> the car can't be driven >> because it's unregistered come up with all this nonsense >> but rather than to cut a break it's been you know hard >> find a parking spot in a few >> okay >> even now she stayed calm thinking only the car violation mattered. What she didn't realize was that her theft had already been uncovered. Yet, she kept trying to defend herself. >> You okay with the car going to her? They'll put She's going to All right. She's going to put the car over here. They got to tow it later to go get it. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. >> Uh yeah. So, all that perfume and cologne and everything that belongs to Kohl's that wasn't paid for. So, it's probably >> they don't they don't have that on video cuz I I they don't have that on video at all. >> Do you have a receipt for that? >> The thing I came in the store, right? I came in there and I had that stuff I wanted to exchange. I picked up a blue dress. I seen one of the lady actually got on the phone. I picked up a blue dress. The line was too long. I put that back and I proceeded to my car. They don't have anything with me. >> Okay. She had taken it all from mini to full-size bottles, all high-end brands like Versace. And none of it was paid for. It was clear the value of what she walked out with wasn't small. >> Oh my god, it's a lot of stuff. >> Write down what it is. I know the receipts don't always say what exactly it is. That's not ours. >> That's not ours. >> That's from another store. >> Okay. Okay. >> It might be a sample. It could be from Target. >> Double check. And then if it's a sample, >> so,258 board this. >> Uh, just print it up for me. She was charged with shoplifting and driving without a valid license or registration. Trying to downplay or lie about criminal behavior never works. Even if someone thinks minor traffic issues will protect them, attempting theft is always caught and leads to serious consequences. Worse, she believed acting cute would help her avoid punishment. >> I think I actually have the unknown. >> Okay, you can just set the top. >> Sorry, I didn't feel into like right here. Sorry, I just turned 18 and they were like, I'm probably getting arrested or >> on November 21st, 2025, police received a call from a shopping mall reporting a theft with the striking detail that the suspects were already well known to officers. This time, however, they were caught keep watching to see what unfolded when police arrived at the scene. So, three of them still have stuff on. She says she doesn't have anything. >> She was in the dressing room and she doesn't, but >> I have a bra. Okay. And then the other two have stuff. >> Yeah. >> Did you read all of them? >> Yeah. We got uh I'm working on ID. >> She just took these off. So, she says that's it. >> That is They're talking. >> Yeah. Cool. We probably take one at a time and the other one. >> Yeah. >> You got on you? >> Yeah. Let's go. >> Hi. Does an officer talk to you yet? >> No. >> Okay. Officer. I got my body camera on. >> Do you have your ID on you? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. Have you ever been arrested before? >> Okay. Here's the deal. We'll we'll typically on these we don't go a criminal route. Okay. But we do have like questions and stuff we got to ask. I know it's a lot right now. We'll work through you with you. Okay. >> Not right now. No, you are detained. You are detained. No, it's not. It We have to talk to you guys first and figure out exactly what's going on. Um, there's a possibility you could be arrested, but that doesn't mean that's what we're going to do. Okay. Do you have your ID on you? >> No. >> Okay. What's your first name? >> Um, Jada. >> How old are you? >> I'm 18. >> You're 18. >> This is what she had on. So they were literally wearing the stolen items right up until they were caught. The woman appeared deeply remorseful, clearly unable to bear the responsibility for the consequences of her own actions. >> Worse it's going to happen. >> Worst it depends on the amount of property that was taken. >> So >> yeah. So if it's anything under $300, it's a misdemeanor. >> But I don't know how much it was. >> We'll figure out stupid stuffed animal was like this is like I don't know why. This is just like >> I promise you, hear me out for a sec. I know a lot of people that have committed, you know, these thefts and it doesn't affect this just >> I know it's a lot and it and it doesn't candy bar from Dollar General. I know I think this is over stuffed animal, you know. >> I promise you, Jada, hear me out. It'll be just fine. >> About so this is all the young lady that just went out. This is total for everyone. >> No, this is total for her. >> Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. I don't want to ask. >> So, I have to get a lawyer. >> No, it's you. You have the right to a lawyer. Do you want me to read them again or do you understand them? >> No, it's okay. >> Do you understand the rights? >> Okay. Uh, that's a yes. I just need a yes or a no. >> Yes. >> Okay. Having these rights in mind, can I talk to you? >> Uh-huh. >> That's a yes. I need a verbal yes or no. Sorry. >> Thank you. >> What made everything even more absurd was this woman's reason for stealing. Watch as she explained it herself. Okay. So, um well, first our friend told us that they had like jelly cats here. So, it's like a stuffed animal. And then like I came here and like um other people just like told me like that stealing is like easy. >> Mhm. >> So, then like I don't know. And I didn't even think about like looking at the price tags cuz I just like wasn't really thinking about it. I didn't know how much those like stuffed animals were. Kind of. My intention was to like come here cuz I didn't have any money. >> Just is that is just like am I saying this, Dad? >> No, just be honest. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. I just don't want to go to jail. >> Yeah. No, that's okay. >> Can you promise it's not going to happen, right? >> I I can't promise anything, right? Cuz I don't know all the details yet. But I just have to figure out what happened. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, you did Did you have any money on you? >> Um Well, yeah. I have my card, my credit card, but only like $10. >> Okay. So, not not very much. >> But I can pay for the things. All of it. I can pay for all of it. >> We'll talk about it later. Okay. Yep. Did you [music] So, you came here with the intent to steal then? >> Well, no. I was just going to see. Okay. >> I was actually just gonna do it. >> Okay. And then uh do you remember which items you stole? >> Um jelly cats and then some skim stuff. >> Do you remember the specific ones? >> Uh a bra and then I think underwear. Bra, underwear and then a pajama thing. >> Um and how did you like take them? [snorts] >> Well, I put the top on. >> Mhm. >> And then the jellys I just like put right here. >> Mhm. >> Like in your pocket or something? Well, like right here. >> Oh, okay. Like on your face. >> I think I actually have the underwear on me. >> Okay. You can just set that down. >> So, I didn't feel it. >> She claimed she had never intended to steal. Yet, in reality, she never had any intention of paying either. >> Made it like I'm assuming you didn't attempt to pay or anything like that. >> Um, no. Well, well, my cousin was saying like, "Let's go out that way." So, we went out that way and then this guy stopped us and we just came in with him. >> Okay. So, did you make it outside the store? Yeah, but the guy like stopped this and we didn't get far. >> Okay, but you never attempted to pay or anything. >> That's Yes. You never attempted to pay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Is that worse? >> No, that's okay. I'm just Like I said, it's not a worse or better thing. It's just I have to understand the details of what happened. Okay. Came here with these are all your friends, family, anything like that. >> Um, one of them's my sister and one of them's um my cousin and then the other one's just our friend. >> Have you ever been arrested for retail theft? No, absolutely not. >> Okay. With retail thefts, um, the felony amount is $300. I don't know what your amount is yet. They're they're pricing it up. >> It's like 64. What do you think about that? >> Okay. So, with that, if you don't have any prior charges and it's $64, I'll write you an ordinance violation. Okay. An ordinance violation is like a speeding ticket >> and it doesn't go on your record if it's paid or if you go to court. So, maybe you got to do one of those two things. If you neglect the ticket, you then get charged for it. >> They appeared remorseful, but it was quickly exposed as fake as they continued giving conflicting statements about the details of a pair of shoes about Uggs. Did you take any Uggs? >> No, >> these ones are yours. >> Yeah, she was your friend already said you and her. >> Don't lie. I got everything. We already filed a police claim. >> Okay, guys. I just don't know what's happening right now. And this is just >> Just be honest about it. It's not good to lie about it. >> Okay. I don't know what Can someone just please let me know what's happening? >> Did Did you take the Uggs? Yes or no? >> Yeah. This was like a long >> It was 9:25. I got it all there. We filed a police report. He just wasn't here when you did it. He was on the launch, so you had him on board. >> Yeah. >> Oh, so they're wearing our shoes cuz we had him wait for him to come back. I didn't know that was it. So >> So this isn't the first time that you've stolen. Well, from here because our friend told us that they had like all these things here. We wouldn't have to We didn't even know about this. >> Were these from her? >> Yeah. >> We didn't Sorry, I didn't I didn't know they were on me. >> That's okay. So, what do you remember stealing those? >> Yeah, it was like a while ago. I haven't even like worn them or nothing. >> Okay. So, September sound right? >> I don't know. >> Okay. That time when you took the other Uggs, was it just the Uggs or did you take more than one thing? >> Uh, it was just the Uggs. >> Okay. >> Does this make it worse, too? Is everything making it worse? >> Well, I could tell you one thing. Lying about it does not help it at all. >> Okay. >> So, just be honest about what happened. >> Okay. >> Right. >> The question was raised if she feared that lying would only make things worse. Why did she keep doing it? Moments later, she began babying the officers as if that would somehow lessen the consequences she was facing. Okay. >> Sorry. I just turned 18 and now like I probably am getting arrested or >> you're you're just a teen right now. Okay. We still got to figure out the amount of value and stuff like that. Okay. >> Okay. But that's that's why >> I don't know how much it is. Can you tell me? >> We're going to go in and chat right now. Okay. If you could just go back in here and we'll sit down with your friends. Okay. >> What's that? >> If it's over 300, I'm getting arrested. >> Uh we still got to figure out the value. It's a possibility. Yes. >> Do you have a total for I >> her? Oh, for her. Um, >> which was >> just as $34. >> 34? >> Yes, ma'am. >> You can just step in and hold your hair. Okay. Has an officer spoken to you yet? >> No. >> Okay. Just got your name. >> Okay. Okay. So, here's the deal. Um, you can have that back. Here's the deal with this. I got to You're technically detained right now. Okay. I have to I have to read you your rights before I'm able to talk with you. Okay. Um, so let me just do that. And Okay. realizing now you want to talk to me. That's a yes. Okay. How old are you? 24. >> Two individuals in the group were charged with felony theft as each was found in possession of more than $1,000 worth of stolen merchandise. Lying and trying to manipulate others only made the consequences worse. Taking responsibility early was the only chance to limit the damage caused by one bad decision. Next, this woman believed she'd escaped the consequences of her crime. So, you may or may not be aware, but Walmart has very, very, very good security cameras. >> That's why they say stealing over $300 worth of face cream. Do you want to make a comment about that? >> I didn't steal my face cream. >> On the 6th of September, 2024, police approached a residence after receiving information that a suspect accused of stealing from Walmart had fled and was located there. Upon arriving at the scene, the suspect appeared visibly confused and shaken by what was unfolding. >> Y'all [snorts] can come around back, guys. cuz I got contact. You work uh or you live with the person that owns the MBK roofing. >> Do I live with him? No. >> Do you know him? >> Yeah, I do. >> Who Who drives the truck? >> Uh Curtis. >> Curtis. What? >> Mun. >> Mun. >> Yeah. >> Would that be Curtis? >> Yeah, that' be him. >> Curtis. All right. Who is that? You ain't? >> Yeah, that's me. What's going on? >> All right. So on June the 4th, what's today? Today's >> night. >> June the 9th. What's your name? >> Tiffany. >> Tiffany. What? >> What's >> Is Curtis here? >> No, he's not here. >> Okay. Curtis Mun, let's get your name first now, too. What's going on? Go ahead. >> What? What happened? What do we do? >> He's going to We're temporary check. Tiffany, what? >> Huskins. >> Hus.

Miss Huskins? >> 72575. >> Some How you spell mun? >> MC C U N E. >> Immediately after gathering information from the woman, police stated the reason for their presence. Watch her reaction and attitude as the situation unfolded. Okay, so you may or may not be aware, but Walmart has very, very, very good security cameras. Probably the second best in Athens. >> Okay. >> Um, they have you on video. >> That's why they sent me stealing over $300 worth of face cream. Do you want to make a comment about that? >> I didn't steal my face cream. >> Okay. Well, they have the video of it. So, that's why I got those pictures. It's not just pictures. It's video of y'all concealing the items and leaving the items. Not only did they get videos of y'all concealing those items, they literally tracked you to the parking lot in the vehicle. That's how I found you. >> Yeah, but I'm just saying we didn't instill no uh face cream. >> That that's not in debate. So, here's what's going to happen. >> Yeah. >> These officers tell you I can tell you we've seen the video. The video is super good. >> Yeah. >> Warrants are inevitable. >> Okay. >> I just want to see if you want to give a reason why you took the crime. Maybe it'd be a mitigating factor or anything. >> What? Wait, what did you say? >> Maybe there's a mitigating factor of why you took the items. >> Okay. I The face creams. I never We never left the store with items. >> I never left the store with items. >> What'd you do with them? >> I left them at the in the store. She appeared to deny everything she had done, prompting police to contact the store's loss prevention officer from Walmart and let her hear the full account of what had happened. >> So, um, we found open packaging and pet department. It was like face creams. So, we researched it after um after [clears throat] we saw the packaging and saw them selecting items. They put it in a bucket. They go over there. They open up the stuff and then they leave without ever attempting to pay for any of the items they had. >> When you say a bucket, what kind of bucket are we talking about? >> It was a white bucket, but she can filled in her purse. >> Okay. So, in the purse and a bucket. >> All right. >> I'm here with police officers. She's trying to say that. Oh, we stole some face cream at >> And you've got video of them concealing it and leaving the store. >> Face cream at Walmart. >> She's trying to say she left them in the store, but they removed them from the packages, too. So yeah, we know. >> Yeah. Remember when we were they both involved? Remember when we left them? >> Do what? >> Were they both involved? >> We left them. >> Um, we left them in the store. >> You did? Uh, yes, she did. Yeah. Yeah. But were they both involved? >> Uh, it was mainly her collecting stuff there with her. >> Okay. >> Yeah. He's just saying that I stole some face creams in it that you help me steal some face creams, but >> All right, cool. >> We left. So, we've identified those in the store. We'll take out once. We'll come back and get the and and look at the video ourselves. >> Sure. >> Um, >> that's what we're saying. >> Miss Tiffany, listen up real fast. This is a loss prevention officer, >> Miss Bond. She's got something to tell you. >> Yes, Miss Bond. >> Put him on the speaker for 2 years from this property. That means this whole complex and I'll come back from this location. Okay. >> In addition, police finished verifying the woman's identity and discovered that she had a prior criminal record. Now that I've identified you, I'm going to look at the video. If it appears that you are a party to this crime, I will be seeking warrants for theft by shoplifting on both of you. Okay. >> Would y'all like >> Well, the video will determine that. Would you guys if uh if either or both of you are warrants, would y'all like me to notify you when the warrants are issued? >> Yeah. Or yes. >> All right. Here's Miss Huskin's phone back. >> All right. That's all we have this time. We're going to go watch the video and we'll get back with you. Okay. >> Okay. >> 29. >> Huh? 29. >> Nice. >> Shoplift. [laughter] >> Tell Mr. >> Tell Mr. Mchune you have a warrant for shoplifting arrest already. So you're about to be arrested. So >> I'm supposed to be arrested for shoplifting. How am I going to be arrested for shoplift? I don't go anywhere. >> Probation violation >> for what? >> Apparently you violated your probation. We don't know. We don't issue those. >> I didn't violate no probation. >> That's between you and your go home. >> Yeah. >> Well, tell him you're going to be gone by the time unless he's going to be gone unless you tell Unless you hurry up and get here.

I've been complying. >> Have no idea. >> He ain't going to know. Yeah, that's between you and your >> with my probation officer. What's going on? >> 21 Central. Go ahead and run a criminal history on both of those subjects, please. >> Okay. Will you please come home and get the dogs? Yes, I'm coming. >> Thank you. >> After arresting the woman, police also offered their assessment and conclusions regarding the case. >> It's uh pretty funny cuz when uh Bonds was like, I can't figure out what this emblem is. Can you figure it out? I'm like, hold on. >> There it is. I hope she goes, "How'd you do that?" >> What was the related case? >> Shop. Yeah. >> They shoplifted those items on the fourth and left in that truck >> and she couldn't figure out the emblem. She couldn't locate it. Um, so I I looked at I'm like address. I'm like I came here for a domestic call one time. >> Oh, okay. >> I was a detective, so I knew exactly where it was and I was like they're a roofing company. I know exactly where it is. But I pulled up the logo and held the cuz on the on the picture she had, you can't see on this picture. On those pictures, it's clear. It says MBK and it's a red line under it. And I'm like, so when I pulled up the line, I'm like, >> that's it. >> Yeah. >> So I was first I before I realized I was like, I wonder if it's a big company. And then I looked at the address and I was like, "Nope, it's a oneman job." >> Yeah. >> Like he's he's the owner of it, but he'll hire some help every once in a while, but like a couple dudes. >> So I was like, I knew >> I knew what a truck was going to do. >> Yeah. >> The woman was charged with shoplifting for concealing merchandise worth over $300 and leaving Walmart without paying. Her action showed that denial could not outweigh clear evidence and that a prior record only made the consequences more severe. That's her. >> I was dumb. >> Do y'all not see my feet crooked? I'm pett. >> On the 3rd of January, 2024, officers were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a woman concealing merchandise while shopping. When they arrived on scene, the suspect immediately fled at the site of police, triggering a tense pursuit. Hi darling. That was dumb. >> I was dumb. >> Okay, >> that was dumb. >> Can I go get my ticket? >> No, ma'am. >> Let me talk back. I got to get my phone. >> Can I talk about >> I got her. Damn. >> Let me see this. Let me see this.

That's my mom's. I promise. >> Girl, calm down. >> Oh, I was just checking. I was just checking my >> The woman was completely panicked by what had just happened. So, the excuses she gave were simply whatever came to her mind. At that moment, officers checked her information and discovered there was another issue. >> Check that night trespass. >> Well, that's two years ago. >> Oh, I see. >> So, >> no, I didn't know. >> Oh, no. The expires in March. So, >> yeah, I do. I do know. I thought it was a year. That's what the judge had said. It didn't pay nothing. >> The judge admissions trespasses. >> Oh, I didn't know that. I'm sorry. >> You were probably freaking out like you were freaking out when I was bringing you back in here. Probably didn't hear it right. >> No. >> No. It is something. >> It looks like it. >> See, I didn't know anything about it cuz I've been out probation. All right. Like I said, you ain't got nothing with me right now. Let them do their stuff and then we'll talk. >> Yes. I was doing good. I just my baby I had to come get socks and I really was out for everything. >> You said your baby need a sock. >> My daughter. >> Is that what you were selling my underwear for? >> No, that was for my son. >> The pants? >> No, the panties was for me. Oh, >> okay. That's all I saw was the pants. The woman showed no remorse for what she had done. She even tried to convince them that this was not a serious matter. >> So, do y'all know if I get a booking? >> Uh, just like we they got >> It's not always felony, trust me. >> No. No. Yeah. It's not a >> Yeah, it's they have to get the amount and then they have to go from there if they're going to prosecute or not. So, that's what we're waiting on. That's what those guys are doing on camera. It's trust me it's not over 500 none of that stuff. >> No, trust me. Trust me, it's not. >> That's a Victoria Secret. >> It's not. >> Trust me, it's not. >> You ever been to Victoria Secret? >> It's high Victoria. >> Just a pair of panties is 25. >> I would have met my girlfriend's birthday. Mhm. >> Yeah. You can get the Amazon special. That's right. >> I never used it for a year. >> Two years. >> Two years. >> When did they change it? >> It's always been two years. >> I never My cousin only got a year. So that's what I automatically saw. >> Yeah. At that moment, Walmart staff finished reviewing her previous trespass order, and her earlier claim about it turned out to be false. Officers confirmed the exact expiration date of her ban. >> If you look right here, it says 2 years. So, you can come back in January 26. >> You'll probably forget about it, but you can't come back until January 2026. Not right here. Right. Oh. All right. All right. It was no 500, was it? >> Prosecute. >> Yeah. >> 531 kind of case number. You don't have to fill that out. There's criminal trespass involved. >> Yeah, boy. We have to. >> We have to. not know that it will be 2 years. >> We You can't get done news with us. You have to tell the >> bond tonight. >> Yeah, you have a bond. That doesn't affect that. You won't be >> How long does it take? >> We haven't arrested anybody tonight. So, it should be pretty quick. >> So, how much you think it'll be? >> South is a,000. So, 10 15% of that. I don't know what criminal char is right on top of somebody. >> Yeah. Where are your kids? >> Huh? >> Where are your kids? >> They're with Okay. With the evidence undeniable and every offense laid bare, officers decided to place the woman under arrest. Yet, she showed no shame, no guilt, not even a hint of remorse. >> I get to jail. >> Yeah. As soon as soon as you get in, you call her. I've been jail one time and it didn't take long. >> No, I didn't. >> All right. I'mma put it in this front pocket. >> You want me to start off so it stays better? You got 60%. You good? You copy. It says two years, not one year. Right there. Okay. >> Y again. [laughter] >> Don't say that cuz my feet. I'm surprised. I used to run my feet. Do y'all not see my feet crooked? I'm headed though. Dang. Little cover. It's a fashion statement. >> 10:45. Ain't that many people out here? >> Y'all hung out. >> Why they block that door right there? >> Huh? >> I said why they block that door right there. >> Oh, that's what? >> No, it was like that when I got here. >> Oh, all right. Bet this front car back passing the door 1095. >> Yeah, I know. Say I got the heat off for you. Let me know if you need me to turn it up or down there. >> Finally, she was charged with shoplifting and booked into the Clark County Jail. Refusing to take responsibility only makes the consequences worse. Accountability is the only way to stop the cycle from repeating. Next came a woman who believed everything had to go her way. >> That's it. >> Sasha is I got to get for your shirts. >> I'm not Sasha. >> On the 11th of November 2023, the police received a report from Walmart reporting that a theft had occurred. The incident was said that an employee there had lost his phone. At that time, he also had certain information about the suspected suspect. >> So, she snatched a phone out of somebody's hand. >> So, no, not out of hand. He He had it laying down and she picked it up. >> Okay. >> Um, >> so she didn't snatch out of the hand. >> No, she didn't. I [laughter] didn't. >> All right. >> Cuz that's what we were concerned cuz that's a robbery, >> right? Of course. Of course. >> So, >> no, she she picked it up and walked. >> Okay. All right. So, we confirmed for sure she didn't pay for nothing, >> right? They followed her and she just walked past registers and >> Okay. >> And all I did was cuz I, you know, cuz I didn't witness it. I just asked. I said, "Man, I just >> Yeah. >> And she just refused." She pulled out this pen talking about she was part of the police thing. I said, "Okay, well, I'm going to find out cuz I'm a call because all I'm asking you is just show me." >> Yeah. >> So, you said it was a female? >> Yes. >> About 6 feet. Maybe >> 6 foot. >> Yeah. >> Tall? >> Oh, yeah. >> How heavy? >> Uh, probably about 280. >> 280. Okay. Big. >> Yeah, she's good. She has an accent, too.

So, >> okay. >> Edward 12, Edward 10. They're saying when they stopped her, she also showed some sort of Northport police pin and identified herself as a law enforcement officer. >> Elsewhere, another team of officers was dispatched to a residential area believed to be the suspect's home. And the moment they approached, she immediately denied everything. >> Ma'am, >> hey, come out here for a second. >> What's going on? >> What's uh what's going on? Were you just over at the Can you take your hands out of your pocket? Were you just over at the Walmart down the road? >> Two phones I found in the toilet. I'm returning back to the car.

Just keep your hands out of your pockets for me just while we're talking. >> Okay. >> Yesterday I'm reported to Walmart and asked, "Guys, can we have these phones, the phones, new phones?" And I have this uh already completed in my email. Can we have the new homes at Walmart? I'm reported for two sailors. I can show you if that's possible right now. >> Do you have your Do you have your uh ID license on you? Something like that. >> Uh I remember you took my ID once. >> I've never met you before. at staying next to funeral stuff. >> Okay. >> You're trying to intensify and that shalom picture. >> Just do you want to stay out here with me for a minute? >> Yeah. >> I forgot. >> At first, the woman appeared to be cooperative at that moment. But shortly after, her attitude shifted as she began making excuses for refusing to provide her information. >> Me. >> I I have never met you before. >> So, you don't have a ID with you? I I don't have I I cannot show because you they got to get for me electronics. Uh right now I have electronics. >> Okay.

Next day I wasn't went the restroom. In the restroom, we found two phones. Two phones and said, "Hey guys, who own these phones?" She said, "This is mine."

Did the worker know that? >> Huh? >> Did the worker employee know that the purchase from yesterday? >> Yesterday? This is in the Walmart phones. What we order? Uh, I already order from Walmart. >> Was it a mobile order or how was it? >> This is mobile order. >> Can you pull it up on your phone for me? >> Uh, this >> I think she's saying that she paid for the items yesterday, was picking it up today. >> The woman's story became increasingly evasive, yet she had no evidence to support it. Moments later, she even took a phone call acting completely unconcerned. >> Can I just get your name real quick just so I can I'm Officer Cross. I just want to talk to you. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements.

I don't want that. >> Who's Do we know who's >> they just not answering our questions over here or just Jessica about other stuff? >> Who's inside the house? >> Her lack of cooperation became more obvious by the minute and her behavior grew increasingly erratic. I'm going to read you your wife. >> You marry mama. >> Ma'am, do you want maybe >> This is your wife. See if we can. >> This is your wife. Why you came to me? Remember me? >> Ask for a language. >> What language? What language do you >> Sasha? Remember me? >> No. What language? >> You ask me about shorts. >> I've never shorts.

The bag's inside. >> She's not going to answer us. Hey guys. >> At that point, she ignored every effort made by the officers, leaving them no choice but to move forward with the arrest. Yet, the woman made sure it was anything but easy. >> Don't resist. >> Don't resist. >> Do not resist. >> Listen to me.

What else? >> Does your body hurt? >> Are you injured? >> Um, you know, you hurt mine. You hurt me. My >> She was taken into custody and charged with pettit theft and resisting an officer without violence. When someone chooses deflection over honesty, the situation only escalates. Refusing to cooperate and creating chaos does not erase suspicion, it deepens it. >> Sit down. I don't have to. >> You're going to get another charge of obstruction. >> Sit down. >> You're lucky I'm not taking you to jail as well as being an accomplice to her. >> I'm being an accomplice with her. >> So, what you all >> on August 13th, police received a report from a store about a woman pushing a baby stroller with suspicious signs. When officers approached, she appeared visibly frightened by their presence. And the shocking truth gradually came to light. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> What are you putting in your stroller? Something. >> Yeah. You want to lift it? Is that a baby in there? No. >> So, what's in there? >> Stuff. >> Oh, you want to lift the sheet or am I going to lift it? >> You can lift it. >> You lift it. >> You can lift it. >> I did this for my sister.

You don't have to do anything. >> I do. >> No, you don't. >> It seemed that she immediately sought sympathy by claiming she did it for someone else. But as soon as the officers listed the items found in her stroller, her attitude changed instantly. >> Don't. >> So So you need to steal moisturizing conditioner, right? You need to steal >> You need to steal perfume, right? Or detox shampoo, right? You need to steal shampoo, right? And and ovulation strips. >> Okay, sir. >> There ain't no Okay.

You snatched me. >> And your car smells like weed. So, we're going to search that. And you're parked here. >> There was nothing but guilt in sight. and even setting the theft aside. Police detected the smell of marijuana in their car while their parking situation was also in violation. >> You're not handicapped. >> But sir, >> that's that's not how you use a decal for handicap now, is it?

What you doing? >> You could take that. You What else are you >> Leave a comment below about the officer's actions just now and whether they were appropriate for this type of crime, especially when the other person also appeared tense about everything that was unfolding. >> While she loads up, you're lucky you're not going to jail. I'm not stupid and I wasn't born yesterday. >> Listen. Listen. You don't got to talk to me like that for one living. >> You're coming over here with her.

What is your name? >> I'm going to find out who you are. >> Give me your information. Listen to me. >> Give me your name. >> Give me your name. >> Was it resentment over being treated like a criminal? Perhaps that was why obtaining the woman's information was not easy at all. As the other suspect also behaved the same way. >> What's her name? >> She's not giving it to you. >> No, that's why I'm coming to ask you. >> They don't got nothing to do with me, sir. You're being rude to me. And >> we're going to we're going to Here's what we're going to do. We're going to give you a ticket. Okay.

You got a medical card? >> What? >> You got a medical card? >> Do I have a medical card? >> Medical marijuana card. >> I don't have a medical >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.

I didn't want to speak to you. >> You slugged me on the ground. >> Okay. >> She truly did not see herself as a criminal, but to resolve the situation quickly, the officers ultimately complied and restarted the conversation as if it were their first encounter. >> Okay, let's start over. Okay, >> let's start over. What's up? >> All right. I'm Deputy Brown. >> My name is Passion. >> Very good. Passion, did you intend to pay for any of that stuff? >> Um, I was. Yes. So, I had 20 I had like 25 30 $30 in 30 something dollars in my bag. I had like $50 and some change, maybe 60 or so on my food sim card >> um that I was going to use and then just whatever the rest of it was. I'm not going to sit here and lie. Like when you came up to me, I didn't lie to you. Like I had no reason to lie to you. Soon as you walked up in there, I knew what time it was. Like I knew what I was doing. I knew some type of risk I was taking. Okay. >> Did you knew what you were doing was wrong? >> Yeah. I I knew what I was doing was, but I had no money. I had no one I could call, no family. >> Do you Do you have a job? >> No, I just came down here. I just came down here and before I could like I just came down here.

Just really truly honestly going through a lot. >> Okay. I'm going to give you the address and phone number to the act shelter when we're done. Okay? Because even though we might not see eye to eye right now, I'd like you to get some help while you're in Lee County. Do you understand? Okay. And you you can dislike me and and whatever it might be, but >> I don't dislike you. I just wish like you wouldn't like >> you wish I was nice to you. >> When No, not even that. When you approach people in certain situations, don't just treat them bad or just >> The woman saw herself as the victim even though she was the one who raised her voice and obstructed the officers from the start. Watch how police handled this situation. And leave your thoughts below. Have we ever met before? >> No. And >> do I know who you are and what you're capable of? >> No, sir. But sir, >> so when when everything is calmed down like this, I can have a civilized discussion with you. But I can't do that while I have you. I'm worrying about her in the car. Okay. I don't know who else is in the car with her. Okay. So, I have all these moving parts coming with going on, right? So, I don't have time to have conversations right then and there. We have to wait till everything is under control. Then I'll talk to you. Okay. Like this. All right. >> Yes. >> Because I'm not trying to be mean to you. Okay. I'm I'm trying to be a nice guy to you. Okay. But there are certain things that need to happen in order for me to start relaxing and being nice to you. Well, listen.

You know what I'm saying? Running into Deputy Brown. All right, I'm going to give you the number to the ACT shelter. If you need a place to stay, call them. Okay. >> In the end, the woman was charged with grand theft and resisting without violence. Denial and anger only made the situation worse, showing that accountability and cooperation are often the only way to prevent a small mistake from turning into a lifealtering consequence. Worse, the man learned a hard lesson from this theft. >> He comes in here all the time. He'll fill up buggies and he'll just leave it. He just walked around. >> What? What is the problem? Why you me, bro? >> On November 18th, 2025, police received a call from Walmart regarding a theft. The suspect was a man attempting to conceal items on his person, unaware that officers were watching him through surveillance alongside store employees. >> Okay. >> But I don't know 100% that he didn't already have that. >> Okay. >> That's fine. Um you um you bar comes in here all the time and he'll fill up buggies and he'll just leave it. I think he just walks around. Okay. >> You want to do a form or you want to do it? >> Um we'll we'll do it. I I'll go make contact with him. >> Okay. >> He's on the other side. She's just going to borrow him right now.

Uh >> no, he was just hanging out right over there. It's a gray puffer jacket, gray pants. So they best not sure if that if he had that can on him when he came in, but they know he's picked up some since he's been in here. >> Based on the gathered description, police quickly approached the suspect who was immediately taken by surprise. >> What? What is the problem? Why you me, bro? What going on? How does that taste? >> Why did I What did I do? >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Listen to it.

You were on me. >> How could I put it back in my bag when you were on me? >> Sorry. I didn't mean to resist, but like I didn't I didn't do anything. You good? >> He had bitten and even kicked the officers. Yet now he acted innocent, pretending he had not resisted at all. And even during the escort, he claimed the police were overreacting. >> Am I getting decent exposure cuz my pants fall down? >> I'm not in the mood to do any favors right now. >> I don't get why I'm being so mad. >> My pants, please. >> Oh, no. I >> I don't know if I can talk to him. >> Okay. >> All right. We're take this arm out of cuffs and take your backpack off. All right. >> Get the jacket off.

Two months. >> Where were you at before that? >> Michigan. >> What about you down here? >> Rehab. >> The man's circumstances could very well explain why he stole. And moreover, at this point, he was not hiding the crimes he had committed. >> What you in rehab for? >> Heroin. >> What uh what rehab facility were you at? I know. I went I showed up there at one no longer bound and I gave my bed up by the time I got there. So that my family said figure it out on your own. >> Gotcha.

The second time they kicked me out for one day cuz I didn't buy all my system. >> Okay. >> You have to have opiates in your system to stay, which makes no sense whatever. >> So, we got some other uh some other rehab places. So, >> well, I'm going home soon. Anyways, >> how you getting home? >> My dad's buying me a ticket. >> Okay. Where? Bus ticket. Plane ticket. I plan to get >> I'm just going to do rehab at state random place in Michigan. >> All right. >> That way I'm not 15 hours away from >> Yeah. >> which I just want to let you know that you're going to be which it doesn't matter if you're leaving. But you're going to be barred from our location for a period of 2 years. That's everything at 4375 Lexington Road. Um this whole entire complex if we see you back here then we're going to call them back and have your res. Okay. That was the store's decision regarding the man's actions, and it seemed to be exactly what he wanted. He appeared quite pleased with it. >> No trouble moving or anything? >> Ow, my face hurts. That hurt. Sorry. >> I think there's your bean. >> My bean. Thank you. >> All right. Let's head to the pharmacy. >> It's fine. I just fine. I'll just >> No meds. >> No, it's fine. Get him somewhere else. Thank you guys. >> Jesus wants some large. So >> if you want to push >> figure out if we ever use the force. >> We need to figure out if he's got >> But everything changed at the last minute. After reviewing the surveillance footage of the arrest, the police [music] decided to confront the man again with charges of resisting an officer. >> I said, "I'm good. You use paperwork. >> Why don't I run now? >> Just have a seat. >> Okay. Yeah, >> cuz I don't want you taking off on me if I got to do some paperwork. Okay, that's it. >> That sound would be illegal anyways, would it? I mean, >> go ahead. >> Stand for stand up. >> What's up? >> Stand up. >> Behind your back. >> Why? >> Behind your back. All right. >> What? What happened? >> One more. Let you know here in just a second. Okay. >> Now what? What? Can you tell me now what what what you're seeing now? >> All right. So, it's going to be >> I do believe it's going to be for the obstruction. Okay. >> Obstruction of what? >> What does that mean? >> When you try to fight us. >> I didn't try to fight you. I didn't know what was going on. >> We're going to go back over here. >> Obstruction? Are you serious? >> Obstruction? Are you serious? That's insane. Maybe I try to fight you guys. What would you do if someone just grabbed you from behind? I mean, what was I supposed to do? You didn't even say you were cops. >> The man was then taken to jail to be booked. In addition to being barred from Walmart for 2 years, the suspect was also charged with resisting and obstructing justice. So, as you can see, he could have easily left the store if he hadn't resisted. Cooperating from the start would have led to a much better outcome. Next, compared to her offense, this woman cared more about her reputation. Yeah. I don't want to be embarrassed in front of the neighbors. My parents are going to kill me. My parents are going to kill me. >> Do you want to like pat her down or search her? I mean, we got >> Oh, I have nothing. I have nothing. Please don't touch my >> On June 2nd, police received a report about a theft that had taken place at Target. The suspect had attempted to take an air fryer before fleeing the scene in a vehicle. To understand the full details, listen to the statement given by this store employee. >> So, on the 23rd, we had a female in the store. She selected a brevel that's a like a microwave air fryer and then she just walked out of the store. >> Okay. How do you become aware of it? >> Um I was reviewing for a separate incident. Um she actually tried to hit us up before but we stopped her. >> Okay. >> And then um I was reviewing for something else and I saw her >> reviewing the cameras. >> Yeah, exactly. Um this is what she I have her license plate. Um cuz this is what she looks like. I have it all on this USB as well. Um, and we have the license plate on the vehicle. It's been the vehicle's been at all the incidents. She hit up um the crust target as well. I reached out to them to see if they filed with pity, but I don't know if they did. >> What did she take that one day when you or tried to take that one day? >> It was the same thing. Same stuff. >> Yeah, the same exact item. >> Is that before the incident? Did you recognize her when you were like looking at the cameras? >> Okay. Is that why you started watching her then? >> Yeah, that's why I picked her up. >> So, this was not the first time they had encountered trouble with this suspect. And based on the license plate provided by the employee, officers went directly to her home. This was what happened next. >> Hey, you're okay. You're okay. No, you're fine. You're You're okay. Can we just talk to you for a minute? >> Sure. What's wrong? >> Everything's okay. Can you just come outside? >> You're okay. >> It's something wrong in the neighborhood. >> No. Yeah, everything's fine. Everything's fine. >> What's your name? Miss >> Lauren. >> Lauren.

I I don't. It sounds like it. Yeah. >> I'm scared. Is there something unsafe outside? Is >> No, you're fine. You're fine. >> Okay. What? Can I ask what this is about? I have anxiety just cuz >> No, everything's fine. Don't worry. There's nothing unsafe out. >> Okay. Did my car get >> It sounds like something happened. Yeah. >> Oh no. Like sitting in the driveway. >> Um cuz like I It's my car, but my parents paid the insurance. >> The woman appeared completely frightened as if her car had genuinely been involved in some kind of incident. The situation slowly grew tense when the officers finally began to reveal the real reason they were there. >> So I didn't know. >> Were you at Target? >> Um no. >> A couple weeks ago on the 23rd? Uh, okay. I don't think >> we're going to talk to you. Okay. Don't resist. >> Lauren, don't resist. You're going to be under arrest for retail theft. Okay. You're under arrest for retail theft.

I don't I don't even have my medicine. Please. >> Okay. What medicine? >> She refused to take responsibility for her own actions, forcing the officers to immediately step in and calm her down. >> Lauren, listen to me. >> No. My parents will please >> listen. Lauren, listen. You're going to be home in an hour, okay? >> You're going to get a court date for stealing from Target. You're going to get fingerprinted. You're going to get your picture taken. You're going to come home. We'll give you a ride home if you call them down. >> Can I please Can I please have my phone, please? Can I have my phone? I'm expecting my master's request, please. >> I don't want to get in trouble with my masters, please. >> Yes. It's in the kitchen counter. >> There's nobody in this house. >> No. >> No. Please.

I didn't eat or anything the past couple days. >> Just can you please get my phone? >> Lauren, do you want an ambulance? If you get an ambulance, I'm just gonna let you know it's gonna take a lot. >> Take longer. >> This will take literally an hour. Okay. And we'll drive you back home. >> It seemed that nothing the officers tried to explain truly registered with her. Even after the reason was made clear, she continued to complicate the situation with her own relentless questions. >> What did I do? I don't even know what I did. >> You stole a microwave and a pair of shorts. I >> I don't even have a microwave. >> It's like a It's like a oven or little oven thing. >> Air fryer or something like that. >> Something like that. >> Okay. >> I probably was rushing and I didn't even mean to. Please, can you please let me go? Please can you let me go? Please, if I want, can you get me out of handcuffs, please? I'm afraid. >> Relax. >> Please, can I have my phone? Please. >> You're yelling. You're not getting your phone. >> Oh god, I'm afraid. >> Walk to the car and I'll give you your phone when you're being cooperative. Okay. >> Yeah, but I don't Can I get my shoes? >> Shoes. >> These are fine. These are fine. >> Well, Lauren, you'll be at the station for not even an hour. Okay. And we'll I'll drive you back home. >> Oh my god. This is so bad. >> This is so bad. I'm doing good with my masters, please. >> You You'll be fine. >> Oh my god. >> You'll get a court date.

Please, can I have my phone? >> Just no. No, no, no, no. It's just just my gift just my gift cards and money. That's all. And it is my money. >> Okay, we're just going to check. >> As she was led closer to the patrol car, her anxiety escalated even further, intensifying the tension unnecessarily. Yet all she seemed to care about was protecting her own reputation. >> Yeah. I don't want to be embarrassed for the neighbors. My parents are going to kill me. My parents are going to kill me. >> Do you want to like pat it on or search her? I mean, we got this. >> Oh, I have nothing. I have nothing. Please don't touch my >> We don't want We don't want to touch Oh, I don't have anything. Please. Oh, I just have Oh, I just had a bag. This is just a bag because I was taking produce out. >> Please look at me. >> Look at me real quick. Take a deep breath. >> Yeah, I am going to My parents are going to kill me and I don't want to. Yo, all I've been I've been doing good. Please continue to take these off of me, please. [laughter] >> Look at me. Look at me. Look. Look right here. Take a deep breath. >> I just I just rush around trying to go for school. Please, can I have my phone? >> I have assignments, too. Please. >> Take a deep breath. Everything. >> Can we go so the neighbors don't see you? My parents will kill me for embarrassing me. Um, >> I have no idea.

I have my phone cuz they're going to >> You can't have your phone. >> Lauren, you can't have your phone back there. Okay. >> Wait, wait. I have the phone. >> Once we get back to the station. >> Please, can you hurry cuz I want I don't want to call you guys. I'm going to be embarrassed. >> Oh god, I'm going to throw up. >> Lauren, you're okay. Calm down. >> I don't know what I'm going to tell him. I'm going to go like [laughter] with the locked up. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Just stay right here. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Lauren, take >> Oh my god. I didn't even put my shoes on. I'm so embarrassed. This is horrible. This is horrible. My mom is going to kill me. She's want to see me again. Please. She's going to say I'm going to Please. Oh god. >> Okay, calm down. Okay, like I said, it's only going to take 45 minutes. >> I might go lock away in a dark anywhere. I'm afraid. >> Can you come? In the end, she was charged with shoplifting. Instead of protecting your reputation, taking responsibility early and staying calm can prevent a bad decision from turning into a lasting stain on your future. Next, meet this truly awful pair of shoplifterss. >> I have >> Let's go. >> Hey, stop. Hey. Hey. No. Stop right now. >> Yo, put your hands behind your back. On May 9th, 2025, officers were dispatched to Walmart after receiving reports of a couple committing theft there. At that moment, the police waited for the suspects to appear so they could catch them off guard. >> Yeah, I'm just waiting out of sight. I'm going go over [snorts] there cuz I'm star. >> Cool. >> Excuse me. >> Hello. >> Yeah. Asset protection. You have merchandise at the office, please. >> No, it's in your bag. Let's go. I have >> Let's go. >> We know where it is. We saw you do it. It's in your bag. Come on. >> We saw you do it. It's on camera. >> No, it's too late now. >> No, that's great. It's too late now. >> Should have paid for it when you had the chance. >> Okay. >> I paid for the receipts for everything. >> No, you don't. Let's go in here. >> No, I haven't seen anything. Let's go in here. >> No, I'm just saying you can look at >> That's awesome. >> We're going to go in there for the stuff that you put in your bag. >> No, look. I'm serious. There's Look, [clears throat] we're going to do this in here. See, look. Everything's on this receipt. >> We're going to go in here. >> This is everything on here. >> We're going to go in here. >> Why do I have to go in? >> Because I'm telling you, >> if that's not on there, obviously I pay for everything. You didn't pay for that. >> I have. >> Let's go. >> The suspects clearly showed their refusal to cooperate and their own actions quickly plunged the situation into chaos. >> I paid for Hey, stop. Stop. Hey. Hey. No. right now. >> Yo, put your hands behind your back. >> Yo, I have my little brother in the car. No, I have my little brother in the car. No, no, I'm sorry. I go in here. I just have my little brother. I'm going in here. I just letting you know I have my little brother in the car. >> I have my little brother in the car. That's it. But I will go in here with you. I'm willing going. >> You need to stop now. Are you willing to take? >> I'm sorry. Yeah, >> put your hands behind your back now. >> Okay. Hey, sir. Stop. Hey, stop. I went I went to put my hands behind my back. >> Get on the ground now. Get on the ground now. On the ground now. >> All the way on the ground. >> Do not move. You are under arrest for obstruction. >> He showed no sign of remorse, pleaded for leniency while attempting to flee from arrest, forcing officers to issue a be on the lookout alert. I wanted to see the second is GOA westbound black male thin build 62 black tank top blue shorts or blue jeans PC for obstruction and theft. >> All right, go ahead and stand up for me. Go again. >> Let's go over here. >> Hold on a second. >> Yeah, I'm fine. >> All right, sit there. Do you have any weapons or anything on you? >> No, sir. >> All right. What's his name? >> His name is Jam Brandon Tracy, sir. That's my husband. >> I'm Benjamin a little bit of drink, so I don't know how that stand, but I hope like I hope nothing like I have have a new one like I can't like we're more than willing to like to pay for that like we're just trying to pay for >> and look now instead he's going to have a warrant out for his arrest because he didn't stop. I told him he's not free to leave >> and I was I was just trying to get him to calm down. I'm trying to see if he stop like if I could like at least we calm down it would have been more workable and reasonable and I understand like my my interference was probably not the best of choice but I wasn't afraid to have anything get prisoner >> this man was trembling his words revealing his fear of what had just happened at that moment officers attempted to call the man who had fled the scene >> you mind if I called him back I don't want to go >> I don't mind at all that one yes sir >> it didn't go through I don't think you got there's service in here for Okay. >> All right. I am going to release you with just a citation. Okay. Today, there's going to be a court date. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> The reason that I'm arresting you is because when I was trying to arrest him, >> you got in my way and we're pushing me out of the way. That's obstruction. And I told you to stop or you will be arrested, right? And you kept doing it. Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, that's why you're under arrest right now. Yes, sir. >> All right. I'm going to go write you a citation. >> Yes, sir. >> And I'm going to see if Jamon is who you say he is. >> Yes, he is. He is. Yes, >> he's got a tattoo on his wrist. He's got >> I can tell you all the tattoos everything. >> All right. >> All right. I'll be right back. >> It's jamming. >> Yeah. Why don't you talk to him? See if he comes back. >> Say anything else. I'm going to hang up. >> Baby. Hello. >> Baby dropped again. Yeah. >> Do you know his phone number? >> Uh 2538. >> Oh, that's okay. 7695. >> My kids. >> In the end, the man was released and given a court date so he could appear alongside the other man. Both were charged with shoplifting. When facing mistakes, staying calm and taking responsibility always led to a better outcome than running from the truth. Next, this woman went beyond the level of simple shoplifting. >> Watching this now come like that. Until later, folks. But she kept Look, my hand is red. She kept steady popping me and popping me and popping me. On the 9th of August 2024, police received a report from the Macy's store about a woman attempting to stuff merchandise into her handbag, but she was quickly caught in the act. When they arrived at the scene, the situation immediately became tense. >> Daughter is out here crying like a bloody and you need to feel that [ __ ] You need to feel that cuz this [ __ ] right here ain't cool, bro. >> Back up. >> Let me catch you [ __ ] Stop talking to my mama. Y'all laugh so >> like y'all shut the up. >> What the is wrong with you? Shut the talking to me. >> We got to deal with this first. >> You're doing too much. For real. You're doing too much. And I am extremely disappointed in you, bro. >> We could have just peacefully talked in there. >> Stop talking to me. >> But you clearly don't understand. looking at you laughing right >> and I hope I catch you outside this little I hope I do on everything I love I hope I do I'm like baby then why do you don't matter cuz she was wrong and I know she said that she was sitting right there said that I >> wasn't where I go until she hit my manager and that's when >> she didn't hit her hand >> she was not hitting her hand she was pulling pulling on my purse pulling on my purse. Pull the camera up. What are you still sitting right here for? Go do your job. Pull the camera up. Go pull it up. >> Go pull the camera up. >> She was ready to argue with everyone present there. And not only that, the trouble she created lasted throughout her entire escort. >> We don't even know if you're going to jail or not yet. So don't go. >> She's not watching me now. Come on. I'm not eating like that until later. >> That's not how this works. No, it's going to work like that. And if I'm going to end up, I need my phone. >> That's what I did. We check her yet. >> I don't give a se like this. Now she sees her mom and her dad like this. I hope you real happy. I hope you real happy cuz you too for me, bro. >> You too for me. >> Does this have any straps on it >> that we can get off? >> No. >> I told y'all that. I told you. I told you that when you were studying trying to put the cuffs on. >> Stop cussing, >> bro. He is a too big. >> I'd rather deal with you. I'd rather have a talk with you. >> Can Can we step out? Can I take your custo? >> It seemed that trying to reason with the woman only dragged the situation out. So shortly after the police shifted to hearing the story from the store's side. >> So what happened was half of it is going to be on video of the selections and then we moved to floor surveillance cuz I was in the fitting room across from her waiting to post sweep it. >> How was she doing all this? >> She she concealed it in the fitting room. I post I pre-wipped the fitt room before she went in while he maintained surveillance on cameras and then um she went into the fitt room that was pretty swept and she came out there was two tags on the floor and that's it and everything that she came out with she came out with her scarf and she came out with this item. >> Was she putting it in her bag? >> She put it in her bag cuz her when her mom came she started throwing everything out and then some of the other stuff just came out of her purse. Are you able to pull up videos of the slapping portion or was that outside? >> No, that was outside. I can see if I can get it >> right here, but I didn't physically put her hand my hands on her. I did hold her back, which >> I grabbed her because once I go off the curb, she was literally like this on the curb. >> She was outside. >> She was outside. Once I go off the curb, I stopped her from going off the curb. >> Okay. >> And but she kept Look, my hand is red. She kept steady popping me and popping me and popping me. I mean, you can't be mad at me and threats. Um, that ain't nothing to me. >> Shortly after, the store also presented additional evidence that proved her act of theft. >> Um, we waited till she hit all sales of points before we apprehended her, which was right here. Okay. >> Well, we could have got her at this door, but we wanted to make sure that she won't turn around and pay for the items. So, I'm missing one tag in the big room, but so far it's saying 160 350. >> Okay. And I I think it's fair to assume that last item is probably not 140. >> No. >> Right. >> I mean, here we go. Right here. >> Do you guys have band paperwork you want to get for? Um >> I give her a trespass. She came home for 3 years. >> And usually the mall too, don't they? >> Yeah, we usually get one. Um we just we can just go based off what they give. >> Talking to me. There you go. >> Oh, chise one. >> Okay. So, it's like right here is when she goes out. >> Yeah, cuz it's right on her heels. Check myself down to >> Is it out of camera view then? >> Yeah, that Yeah, >> cuz the zombie right here. >> The suspect was expected to receive a store ban, but her hotheaded behavior still left the female employee visibly upset. As far as her slapping your arm and all that, we're going to write it up in the report. If the state's attorney decides to press charges that the verbal threats that she just made, >> said she'll come back and crack out. >> Yeah, she said >> that'll be documented at least. Um, but as far as threats, it's got to be a little more specific than that. >> She said she was going to beat my in front of everybody several times. All my child, >> the good news is she'll be banned from here. So, if she comes back, she goes to jail. It's no questions asked. So, So, if I see her at my other job, >> she's she's calmed down quite a bit. You could you could always try and get an order of protection on her, which would cover you at your other job. And obviously, you'll have her info once uh security gets that for you. Um I think you have more than enough to file for one. >> I personally was like, "Okay." >> Yeah. Let me let me check on him. Um, how far along are you on? >> The computer is slow. I'm trying to move this stress. >> That's all right. I'll check back with you. >> This was the woman's first time committing such an act. So, the police made a decision regarding her. Watch it and share your thoughts on whether that decision was fair. >> I'm going to take you out of handcuffs. Okay. And then I'll explain this entire thing to you. All right. >> Mom already gave you electric. So, I'll spare electric for you. Thank you. >> Hopefully we never meet again, right? >> We won't. >> Okay. Do you have any questions at all for us? >> ID ID. >> Okay. Well, you're free to go now at this point. Okay. >> I appreciate it. >> Yep. >> The woman was charged with retail theft and issued a trespass ban from the store. Owning up early, staying calm, and accepting responsibility will always lead to a better outcome than letting anger and pride make everything worse. Next, let's take a look at a form of fraud that had become increasingly common. >> Have you had any contact with them? >> I'm not answering questions. I'm just worried. >> So, question. Ask the lady if I give her money back. I'll give her something in writing cuz I didn't do nothing wrong. On November 12th, 2025, police contacted a woman who was believed to be the victim of a home sale conducted through Facebook Marketplace. Let's see what happened next. >> You want to start at the beginning for officer Keeper? >> Oh yeah. Um Oh god. So he sold me this trailer >> yesterday. I bought it. Uh he told me I could wait until the end of the month to switch lot rent over so that way I didn't have to pay lot rent. figured he was just being nice because I'm a single mom with two kids just trying for none of us to be homeless at this point because I >> it's been a [ __ ] show. Um so I ended up calling the the company today, the Oakwoods, just to like clarify cuz he says he's moving out of state. So I'm like I need to clarify and make sure he doesn't need to say anything like I'm I just want to get this out of the way, >> right? >> She decides to tell me, "Oh, he's been trying to scam people. He cannot sell this. He cannot have anybody else live here because he owes them over $5,000." Mhm. >> So I'm like, "Okay, great. That's cool." So we came here. We didn't tell him we were coming here cuz I was going to show up without him knowing because based on how quick he's moving, he knows what he did and he's getting the out of the state. >> Mhm. >> I was calling him left and right on things. This is the title that I watched his girlfriend sign. It is not in his name or his girlfriend's name. >> This was yesterday signed it. >> Yes. Yesterday. >> Or you said she signed it. >> She signed it. The girlfriend signed it. Yes. >> Yes. And so I was like, well, for my legal obligations, like I need contact to make sure this is okay. He provides me one number. I call the number. This guy has no clue what he's talking about. I ask him what the address is. He says, "Oh, I don't know what's important." I say, "Okay, what's your first what's your middle name and last name?" He goes dead silent. I said, "Hello." He said, "Oh, hang on." And then says nothing. He doesn't know his own middle name or last name. I know it's not him. >> Yeah. >> So then I call him and I'm like, "Okay, well maybe he sent me the wrong number." Like maybe you typed out the wrong number. I don't know. I don't I don't know. I wouldn't assume people would be this. >> In reality, the current scene was the residence of the suspect's girlfriend who had already displayed extremely tense and aggressive behavior prior to this incident. >> Is she here? >> Yeah, she's inside as well. >> I just haven't seen >> I will give you a heads up right now because my stepdad was here before I got here. He got out to try and talk to him and immediately it was an altercation. I don't know 100% what happened because I was not here, but I know a table was flipped >> and then he pulled a knife out on my stepdad. So then my stepdad pulled out a knife as well and was like, I have one too. Like what are you going to do about it? And that's all I know about that situation, but I I will say that that altercation did happen. >> Yeah, I myself have been over here probably 100 times. So I'm well aware. No, no, no. Here >> I'm well aware. So he doesn't own this this forer supposedly unless that's a fake title. Do you think the office would have that info on who actually owns it? >> What I'm thinking is have some female half essentially forge a document. >> Yep. >> To potentially have forgery on her and then theft by deception on him >> cuz it was paid to him. >> That was what was believed to be the police's initial decision. And at that moment, officers proceeded to approach the house where tensions quickly escalated once again. >> So Brian, what's going on with this? >> We sold her this trailer. We've ever put the title in our name. We're like, "Hey, we know the guy." We gave him the number. She's in like he's drunk. So my wife starts relaying everything they're saying through her phone >> to them. And she's like, "Oh, well you guys don't own the trailer. If I didn't own the trailer, I wouldn't have title when we signed it." The title signed. We own the trailer. We never put it in our name. You don't have to put it in our name. By law, they the trailer court said we didn't have to put in our name. So, we never put the title in our name. I have the mess where I borrowed the money from the other dude talking about I sold the trailer. I'm going to have to get something in writing from you so so I can pay you back the money I owe you. There's He's trying to say there's $5,000 owed on this trailer. No, there's not. There ain't no 5,000 owed on this trailer. Lot rent 631 a month. Been paid since I got here. So, $5,000. There's no way. >> Well, that's according to the office. >> Yeah. And I tried find nobody's answer. She said I just talked to him. cuz I called up there. >> Mhm. >> They closed at like 3:30, but you talked to them 10 minutes before you came here. No, they already knew we were putting trailer up. So, since DCFS came and took our kid >> because of all the [ __ ] >> we told him it's sold. She goes, "All right, sell it. We'll start sending people down there." How? >> That's the bird we bought the trailer from like a year ago. >> Okay. Do you have his number? >> The last number I have is the number I gave her to him. I got him on Facebook, too. >> Yeah. If you could give me his number. >> Yeah. Are you supposed to go through the office when you sell? >> No, you don't have to go through the office. You own the trailer. Yeah, I bought it. Never registered. I have where he where I can show you his text right here. I'm going to go back to >> Why would you never get a title that you told us we didn't have? >> His arguments became increasingly illogical as he appeared to be making excuses for his actions and desperately trying to justify them in a roundabout way. >> And I told her if it is that big a deal tomorrow when my bank opens, I'll go give her the money back cuz it ain't really an issue with the money. But they came over here acting crazy and we're like, "What are you talking about? We screwed you over. We don't screw people over. We have no reason to. We gave you the title >> the same way it was given to us." >> So, who signed the title? >> He did. We've had that title since he did it, but it was just wasn't dated. >> Okay. >> And we didn't date the title. Here's where I bought it back in for 3,000. Two-bedroom, two bath. >> Mhm. >> I don't got nothing to lie to you about cuz I know what I own. Go here to marketplace. I scroll all the way down here. Here it is. Sold. That was way back then. I own the trailer. >> Okay. Well, what I'm saying is according to that title, you do not. >> So, who owns it then? >> Looks like whoever this own. >> No, I own it cuz here's where >> So, was it left open and then when you sold it yesterday? >> I just never It sounds like Katie signed. >> No, no, no. Signed the title. I have the stuff right here. Okay. Signed it. They just It was never dated. The only thing we told her is you'll have to date it cuz it wasn't dated. But everything was signed. Nobody signed nothing. That title was signed. It's been in my safe since I got the trailer. We got the title. We never put the title into my name. Okay. >> Because we were told by the previous man. >> So then you're saying it was signed and Katie just dated it yesterday. >> No, we didn't even date it. There was no sign. The only thing that was on there was a signature and a print. >> Then who dated it? >> She had to because we didn't date it. I told her yesterday it ain't dated. So whenever you choose to go deal with it, it's it's on you. We never dated it. >> Okay. That doesn't make sense to me. >> I told her to date it when I handed her the title and she handed me the pass. Said there's no date on it. >> Meanwhile, the man's girlfriend was interviewed separately, but her behavior only raised even more suspicion. >> You sold that we sold the house. >> Okay. >> And she wanted the house, so she gave us the money. >> Mhm. >> And Yeah. >> Okay. So, she gave you the 20,000. And then do you know this guy that the title is on? >> I wasn't here. I I moved from Indiana in May. >> All right. Right. >> Yeah. >> But have you had any contact with them? >> I'm not answering questions. I'm just >> Well, hold on. You guys aren't leaving. You're staying here. >> That's fine. We'll stay here. But I'm really curious to what what you're trying to get at. >> I'm trying to get down to the bottom of it is what I'm trying to get. >> I just told you if you give me an email, I'll email you where this guy called, dude, and ask him to sign his title. And I have it >> when >> when I first bought it. >> Hold on. I got to answer this question. >> Go for it. >> Alpha Omega. >> How much longer? Cuz I got to go meet somebody. >> I don't know. Other officer is talking to the office right now. >> Okay. Cuz I I There's that note on this. >> Okay. I'm just saying he's talking to the office right now. >> Like I told her, I give her the two grand back tomorrow when my bank opens. >> Yep. >> She don't she Yeah. She don't want the two grand. Her name is I double check phone number looks like that she was. >> After that, police confirmed that the phone number claimed to belong to the owner was actually his wife's number and they proceeded to make their decision on the case >> cuz that's when he sent me >> forgery and death by deception for her and that's by deception for him. >> Okay. >> You guys have any ideas? I got to get some. >> Yeah, just hang tight for us. >> All right, Brian. Mind get off the phone for me? For what? >> You're going to be under arrest. >> What am I being arrested for tonight? >> Hands behind your back. >> All right. Can I be fooled? >> Theft by deception. >> How? I'll get theft when I just said I'll give the lady back her money. >> Yesterday I said it three times when your body came out. >> I bought the trailer and now I'm going to jail. Okay. >> You don't have to squeeze my >> I'm not squeezing. >> I'm just holding on cuz if you fall, that's on me. >> All right. Can uh you give my wife Can I talk to my wife for a second? >> Well, just hold tight. What did I steal though? Or what did I that cost? How did I >> by deception for $2,000? >> For what though? >> Cuz you have no authority to sell that. You have >> You can't sell that until those lot fees are >> Who said that? >> The office. >> Who? The TR the Hold on. In is it Did they show you the lease in my name? >> That doesn't matter. You can't sell it because >> No, they told us we could though. >> No, they didn't. I have the text messages from the management and nobody's asking for none of the proof. >> We just talked to the management. They said that they can't that you can't sell it. You have back fees on it. >> That's not I didn't know that. I just if I >> Well, they wouldn't tell you that they could. >> So, question. Ask the lady if I give her money back. I'll give her something in writing cuz I didn't do nothing wrong. I'll give her something in writing. I'll go get her money tomorrow. Not my account. >> That'll be something for later. But for right now, no, that's not enough. The man was charged with theft by deception while his wife was charged with theft by deception and forgery. Trying to outsmart the system with excuses, fake documents, or halftruths only deepens the consequences. One dishonest decision can cost freedom, reputation, and everything built around it. >> Okay, there are bags. Now you see it's all right there. Right now he's going to grab it, cover it. On April 26th, 2023, the police received a call from an airport reporting that a theft had taken place there. The suspect was identified as one of their employees who had stolen mobile devices from passengers at the location. Let another employee there explain the incident more clearly. >> Okay, so it's two temporary associates what >> two temporary associates who work through me. Pretty much what happened was um the ladies reported their items missing and then we went through the cameras and we verified who it was. Um he's currently working on the floor.

So, your phones. >> Okay. >> I mean, okay. It's never ending. >> To further strengthen the witness statements, the police also collected additional evidence from the recorded camera footage >> or whatever. >> Then he came back and got it, went in the bathroom, put it all in one bag >> and walked off. >> Is that him right there? >> Oh, he didn't came in yet. She's praying now. While she's praying, when her bags turn, you going to see him come in. >> There he is. >> Okay. >> There bags. Now you see it's all right there. All right.

Although there was already sufficient information to convict the man, they gave him a chance to be honest, but it seemed he had disappointed everyone. >> Okay, so we are going to interrogate you. We did have some items being reported missing. >> Um, we did go through cameras and we did see you take them. >> I took them. I didn't take them. I ain't had no All I have in my backpack. >> Did you have a black >> hoodie? Yeah, I had a black hoodie up. It's in the thing in the on the floor. So, I mean, what I take? All I have is my bag and my hoodie. What color is the bag? >> It's black. >> Black? >> Yeah. >> I ask you again. Did you take the item? >> No, I didn't. You can go check the camera again if you showed them. I don't have nothing on but my bag and my black hoodie which you seen me on camera. So, how could I take it? When what? Take what? What did I take? I went and tell when I went in the break room. I had a black bag and my hoodie in the break room, but I didn't take nothing. >> Okay. Yeah, cuz we did go through the cameras and we [clears throat] did see the bag being taken and it was kind of like wrapped up in the hoodie >> and whenever you stepped out, the bag was missing. So, it was there before you came in and then when you left it wasn't there and you're the only one who did, you know, walk into that break room. >> Somebody walked in before me. Somebody was like, it was like a >> Somebody was spraying. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, we did see that. We saw that. But then you came after. >> Yeah.

What do you drive? >> Uh I walked to the car with uh one of my friends just though, but I didn't drive nobody. Somebody drove me here. >> Somebody drove me here? >> Yeah. Okay. >> He denied everything without realizing that the police had already known it all. Watch the man's attitude at that moment as the officers laid out his actions and give us your comment about your feelings. >> So, when the first initial view, you come in there and you're looking through a bag. At the time, while you're looking through the bag, you're looking at the individual praying to see if she ever turns around. >> It was a gray and silver bag >> that you were looking in. >> You departed from the break room area. You ended up coming back in. At that time, your hoodie was off. >> You came in just your white t-shirt. >> You took that bag that you were looking through, that gray and silver bag. Yeah. >> And you relocated to the very low shelf all the way on the floor. >> And that's when you covered it up with your hoodie. >> That's when you covered it up with your hoodie. >> Then you walked out. >> You walked out. >> And then you came in roughly about 20 about 20 minutes later, >> grabbed that item, bending over, grabbing that bag with your hoodie still wrapped around it, disguising it, and walked out of the breaker. >> You would have seen me wrap it up though. Y'all had me on camera wrapping wrapping me up with a hood. >> Okay. So, you just stated that you put your bag on the very top shelf. You never reach the top shelf. >> No, I'm talking about the second shelf. It's the same >> second from the bottom. >> That's the same.

But I never went to no car. Nothing. No. What's her name? Nothing. >> Well, you just said that on break that you that you somebody came by. >> Yeah, >> you're right. >> Somebody came by. I never went into the car with my bag. They he said that he made I left like the stuff left with the person or what. I never had nothing. >> He denied the act and mentioned that his friend was involved in the incident. Soon after that friend was summoned and at that moment the very details the police had been searching for began to surface. >> Uh we went on break like 65. >> Did he have a silver gray bag on him? >> Uh >> anything walk outside? >> Probably like Adidas bag. That's about it. >> Oh what? >> Adidas bag like a book bag? >> Like a black one? >> Do you hand it off to anyone? >> Not that I know of.

I asked you for consent to search it as well. Just secondary search. You gave me yes. I pulled that straight out of the main compartment. >> That's That was not But that's in my bag, but that don't mean that I had it. I put it in there. You see me with that bag on there. You see me leave with it. Anybody could have slipped it. I left out. And I put my bag down before I left out. Anybody wasn't y'all can't just put that on me and y'all seen me. If y'all didn't see me grab something on camera, >> we never got the victim's name, right? >> That's right. >> That's what I'm thinking. >> If y'all didn't see me on camera, y'all can't What's her name?

Now yo cameras, man. The cameras show what they show. >> You you if you didn't see me, you see you didn't see me grab no bag. You see me grab my hoodie, grab my beep. >> Immediately after that, the police decided to handcuff the man and prepare to take him to the station for further investigation. But it seemed he still had one more surprise waiting behind. >> Turn around. Dude, I thought you said you left this at home, man. You said you don't have your ID card. You left all that stuff at home. You're not allowed to carry your wallet on you. 42, I got one on foot. 42, I got one headed northbound on Valley View Road. We're at that >> 42 42 view.

Yeah, you man. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> The man was charged with theft of property, fraud involving the use or possession of identifying information, fraudulent use or possession of a credit or debit card, and escape while under arrest, a felony offense. A single reckless decision followed by lies and a desperate escape only deepened his downfall because the truth always catches up and running from it only makes the consequences heavier. In the next case, these men knew how to play dumb. >> Oh, he broke it off. Yeah. He broke it off. >> Didn't happen. >> Nothing happened at all. >> Yeah. You sure? >> Yeah. You're positive. Yeah. You want to stick with that? >> Yeah. Okay. >> On August 28th, 2024, police responded to a call from an airport electronic store regarding a theft that had occurred. The suspects were believed to be two men who deliberately took a pair of headphones. When officers arrived at the scene, the employee clearly explained what had happened. You >> said that you had a theft happen. Okay. It was 10 minutes ago. Uh, so I at this point is was probably about 12 minutes ago. >> Okay. So, how do you know?

And I saw him put something in his pocket and then put the tag in his pocket. So I was keeping an eye on that. >> Okay. Do you did those cameras >> That's how I checked. I checked right before you left. >> Yeah. Let me see. >> And I I see him put it in his pocket and then they come >> to strengthen the evidence. The employee also presented the surveillance footage which helped provide an initial description of the suspect's appearances. >> So just so I wouldn't notice. >> So these are the guys right here? Yes, >> those are the guys right there. >> Okay. Go ahead. So they were together. >> Yes, they were together. And it was over here. >> Yes.

But I already noticed when he do that. >> Okay. Over to MCR, can you please check your cell phone? I just sent you an image of the individuals for the possible theft. Can you see if you can get a picture of where where they might have gone just by chance? And can you rewind it one more time? >> Yes. >> I actually just want to get them ever to ever units. The individuals we're looking for is going to be a white male with a gray and dark gray cap with a gray shirt, black pa black pants, black shoes carrying a black Adidas bag. The second individual is going to be a white male or Hispanic male with a red shirt, black pants with a black backpack carrying a blue looks like uh blanket and he's got tattoos on both arms. >> Based on the description provided, officers received word that the two suspects had boarded a plane in an attempt to flee. At that moment, police had to move quickly to approach them before the aircraft departed. >> Hey, how are you? No, you're good. How are y'all? Is this plane boarding right now? >> You're done. Is it getting ready to take off? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, that's fine. How much longer till y'all getting ready to make push out would be like >> Okay, hold on. Oh, yeah. That's fine. That's fine.

My home right here. >> Okay. Yeah. Grab him, too. >> Okay, [music] back up just a little bit. Okay, just back up a little bit. Back up. >> Oh, yes. Yes. That's That's what I need. Thank you so much.

Were you guys at a uh place electronic shop here? >> They weren't there. What's up? >> Okay, so tell me about these [ __ ] But look, I got some over here, too. They're mine. >> It was clear they had committed the theft together. So, it was highly likely they had coordinated their denials as well. Officers then decided to separate the suspects in order to question them individually. >> Tell me what happened. >> Uh that didn't happen. >> Nothing happened at all? >> Yeah. You sure? Yeah. >> You're positive. Yeah. You want to stick with that? >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, you come back over here. Okay. >> Okay. So, when you were in motion in motion down here at at 11.

So, what if I told you that I saw the whole thing? >> You dude, that's No, that's n I didn't take nothing. I don't care what you saw. I didn't take nothing. There's something right there, too. I got some moment because >> what I want you what I want you to understand is like I said, I was looking for the truth. I literally watched you take these off the thing, rip them off. It broke the thing off. >> Maybe. I mean, you know what? I'm going to pay attention. >> It seemed they refused the opportunity to admit what they had done, forcing officers to present the surveillance footage. Yet, even then, there was no sign of remorse from the two men. >> How about this? How about this? >> Maybe they fell or something. I don't know. Maybe they're coming back or something. >> Cuz this is not you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, >> that's you. Okay. That's what I'm saying. I I literally watch. Yeah. No, man. I didn't think nothing.

Is it in your Can your nephew get it out for me? Yeah, >> if one of you all could just go down to the InMotion person and just get his information cuz that's the whole planet. >> So, where am I going? >> Oh, so we have a uh we have a holding facility here on airport property. >> Once you get processed through there, then you'll probably just be arraigned in the morning or even even this afternoon cuz it's a week thing. >> So, they'll explain everything to you when you get to the jail. >> So, so how does this work? So, what happen I mean um so I go to jail here? There's a >> So there Yeah, there's a there's a holding facility here. You'll be transferred to K Tarant County as long as you have your arraignment today. >> The man was charged with theft, missed his flight, and was released later that day with a court date. A mistake might be forgiven, but lying in the face of clear evidence only [music] deepens the consequences. Taking responsibility early is always wiser than letting pride turn a small crime into a bigger downfall. Next up, let's watch the outcome of the woman desperately trying to change her fate. We are ready to pay the full. >> That's not how it works. >> You guys are going to get arrested. >> If we never visit again, can you please leave us? >> No, that's not how it works. Unfortunately, we have to arrest you. Okay. >> On March 19th, 2024, police were dispatched to a retail store following reports of two Indian women committing theft. Upon approach, both were taken to the loss prevention office, indicating this was not their first offense. >> How you doing? >> Hey, how you doing? a birth next to it. >> Just this seat combined. >> Yes. 155. >> Okay. >> They're they're repeat offenders. Not first time. >> Repeat. >> Yeah. They didn't get caught last time cuz they got spooked. They just dropped them and ran out. >> Gotcha. >> All right. Um, same thing. >> Just so everybody knows our body cams on. Okay. >> Okay. Uh we just like came out to purchase a Pepsi outside Pepsi everything was there right we were >> we forgot the Pepsi to take inside we going to build like few things and we came out to take Pepsi going to build whole the cart >> in between he came >> clean with you get the stuff at the door at the entrance They had everything outside of the [laughter] >> No, they had everything outside the car like outside bags and then they went into the >> house from there. Wait, do you have the footage? >> Let's watch it together. >> We have paid for limited like >> I just close the door. Close it. Close the door. You can stay. I'm just asking you to close the door. Thank you. >> The women offered their excuses, but at this point the police had already reviewed the footage, which clearly contradicted their story. >> They brought the outside bags in is what he's saying. And they put stuff in the bags. >> Yeah, they put in their reusable bag. The same right there. Same thing. >> You have IDs on you? >> No. >> No. How old are you? >> I'm 20. >> And you? >> 22. >> Okay. >> And we are ready to pay the full amount. >> That's not how it works. >> You guys are going to get arrested if it shows that you guys are walking out. >> Whatever. >> So, they paid half of it with their sink. >> Two items and then walked out with the rest of them. balance in my home. We need to get the pet. >> So, you only paid for some things in your cart and some things were unpaid. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And then you walked out. >> We walked out. We're going to take Pepsi outside. Outside the big world. We're going to We are talking about Pepsi being outside. What is that? What are they talking about? >> Supposedly they want to go get Pepsi outside. >> Do you want to go get Pepsi? >> We don't have our mouth. >> What Pepsi are you talking about? >> Sorry. >> What Pepsi are you talking about? >> Pepsi bottles at the entrance. Entrance. We have few lace. I mean chips kind of thing, right? Few items outside. >> So immediately after reviewing the footage of their actions, it became clear that they had attempted to pay for only half of the items, but when questioned in detail, all their explanations remained completely confused. >> So you went outside with the cart after paying. But why did you pay for a couple things and then leave? >> Because it >> you forgot the entire item that you also got. >> Yeah, I know. >> I'm sorry, but that's not believable. So money to pay for it all at one time. Where's your money going to come from? >> I have. He has. I have. So then why did you pay when you paid for to when to bring the Pepsi? We forgot a few items. >> That makes no sense. >> There she goes. >> I'm serious. >> That makes absolutely no sense. Just so that you know. That sounds crazy. You're making up excuses. You just admit that you were you tried to pay for half and leave for half. That's what it is. >> If you if you had the money, you should have paid for everything. Put it in your car. So she about the milk and everything else in the front. She just didn't forgot about it. >> They have $800. >> I'm going to send you a link. You know the process already. >> You guys have done this before. >> And they have done it before when they didn't do it. >> This was like >> and it was never reported. >> I was like, "No, I never got to report cuz I was going home." So I just >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. So we're going to Okay. [laughter] >> So what happened is you paid for half in your car. There were unpaid items. >> No, that's how it works. You're getting arrested. You're coming down to the police station. You're going to sign a form. You are no longer allowed to come to Shopright. The shop right? You're not welcome here. >> Good boy. >> The women appeared unaware of the severity of the situation, seemingly still trying to salvage something for themselves, forcing the police to reiterate the consequences. >> So, there's no take a second. >> Just let us first and then you guys will have >> There's no debate. You guys are getting arrested. We are going to handcuff you. We are going to search your person. Anything that's on you, we're going to put Excuse me, I'm talking. >> We'll take your information. We'll bring you down to headquarters. We're going to type up charges. We're going to send it to the courts. Sometimes the courts will let you go free with a court date. Sometimes you go to jail. That's up to them to decide. >> Uh can I? >> Uh we have an ID like college ID card. >> Okay. Okay. That's okay. I'll take your information. Do you have a social security number? >> No. >> Okay. So, we'll take your information. We'll run we'll we'll try to get as much information from you and and get you in the system. Have you been arrested before? No, no, >> nothing. >> So, most likely you'll be able to leave today after we do your paperwork on a summon, which is a paper. We'll give you a court date. Okay? But for now, what we need you to do is sign the papers saying that you're not going to return papers in front of you. Sign them with your name. We're going to arrest you. We're going to bring you to our headquarters. >> What they pay for, >> okay? Everything that you paid for these two items. Do you understand that? So, please, ma'am, sign the papers in front of you. >> We can take these. >> If you're not going to sign it, that's fine. We're going to arrest you either way. >> You're you're being recorded. So you sign the paper say that you will not come to the shopper ever again. Oh, >> please sign the paper. >> The women tried to change the outcome by claiming they intended to pay for the remaining items but could not. And then she attempted to plead with another unreasonable request. >> 4 week came in and then >> we never visit again. Can you please leave us? >> No, that's not how it works. Unfortunately, we have to arrest you. Okay. It's there's no it's not like a >> we'll give you a chance. That's not how it works. >> Double charges. >> That doesn't matter. You can offer as much money as you want, but you still have to get arrested for the charges for the crime you committed. That's not how it works. You can't just >> You should pay for it. >> Can you please stand up for me? >> We don't want to make this hard or difficult. Let's just >> you sit. Sit. We'll do one at a time. >> You have anything on you or no? >> So, >> anything in your pockets? >> No. >> Okay. >> Put your phone and then put your phone in this bag. I'm going to put your phone in this bag. Okay. >> All right. Um, I'll just message you the link and Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. I just sent them. >> Shortly afterward, the women were escorted to the police station. >> Watched video footage and you were leaving the store with unpaid items. So, that's shoplifting. Once you walk, once you pass the registers and you walk out that door, anything that's unpaid is is stealing. >> They're the repeated offenders, so they know exactly what they're doing. >> They're they're face making whichever one makes the report. Is that right here? Hold on. In the end, they were charged with shoplifting. Always be fully aware of the seriousness of one's actions. Attempting to excuse or minimize wrongdoing only worsens the situation and can lead to formal charges and lasting consequences. >> I'm not stoing anything. >> Right. >> 100%. >> Stuff that you took perfume. It's in my >> And when we check the video, there's not going to be anything else. >> No. On November 10th, 2025, police were dispatched to a home supply store after receiving a report about a woman who concealed merchandise inside her bra. Let's see what the employee knew about the incident. >> See, it's just potential. I can't see anything on camera, but very suspicious. Like very very >> You see them on camera right now or? >> Yeah, I can. But then they go in hiding spots. And then I actually saw the one girl, she put um a tester down her bra. >> A what? >> Tester like perfume testers down her bra. and then she ended up pulling out later on. So, that to me is like a big a big red flag. I mean, obviously she's trying to steal, but we've been walking it a lot. And I just didn't know maybe having one of you guys just walking it if it would help like deter them and make them >> Let me see what they look like. Okay. How long have they been here? >> They've probably been here for a good hour. >> But there was another girl, but she left. >> You have cameras in the parking lot by chance? >> Um, I do, but I haven't looked. >> If I could see a plate, that would probably help, too. But let me just see what they look like first. >> There's one right there. There's another one. She left. And then there's another one right there. She's the one that put the tester down her bra. >> Okay. So, we got like white Well, it's like purple short hair. >> Purple hair. But >> white cardigan and then a black hoodie. Those are the only two people that are here still. >> Yeah. She's gone. It's the guy and then the purple-haired girl. Um but like I said, she did pull it out cuz they're both they were both over here a couple times. She did pull it out later on cuz we I think she probably thinks that we suspect them stealing, >> right? >> But like I didn't know if And I told her on the phone that you guys didn't have to come out if you didn't want to. I just wanted someone just to walk the floor for a little bit if that was possible just to kind of >> I'll just go and talk to them and see what's going on. >> They're acting really suspicious. She did put the girl with the purple. She did put it in her bra and then she pulled it back out later on because we were all over there. So, I think she thinks that we are on to her type thing. >> Based on what was seen on the security cameras, police then approached the woman, one of the two suspects identified by the store. She appeared confused by their presence. >> Thank you. Yep. Thank you. And >> you you didn't happen to misplace anything, did you? When you're walking around in the store, we just got a call from a customer saying that you were acting a little suspicious, like I make sure that you weren't taking anything or anything like that. >> No, ma'am. I just Well, I was going to check out and my link card, but um they didn't know that they didn't take link card, but >> Okay. Um I didn't misplace anything. >> You don't have anything in the bag that belongs in the store or anything like that? No. Do you mind if I took a look? Um, I'm not going to let you search my stuff, but just because there's other things in there, but nothing that I'm not stoing anything. >> Right. >> 100%. >> If you didn't steal anything, then is there a reason I can't look in the bag? >> I would prefer you to not search my stuff. >> Well, let us find out if you took something. It's not going to be a good deal. But if you want to just give it back now, we won't have any problems. Okay. >> There's nothing here that I take that I've taken. >> Would you mind letting me see your ID? >> I don't have my ID either. >> Can I just date of birth? >> I have a picture of it. Yeah. >> Okay. Awesome. Oh, it's Catherine. My name's Catherine. Oh, it's just voting cuz I don't have any service here. That's no problem. You want me to give you my name? I'm just going to show you a picture of the ID. >> Yeah, that's fine. Have the same information. >> I just need you to spell it for me. K A T H R Y N. >> Despite insisting on her innocence, the woman remained cautious toward the police. However, when officers stood close to her, they detected a suspicious odor. >> Where'd that perfume come from? Cuz it looks like it came from the store. I'm not going to lie. >> That is my perfume. >> Can I see it? Cuz it's in plain view. It's literally in plain view. And it's mine, right? I'm not hiding anything. >> Okay. >> Check the cameras. >> I have a name and date of birth when you're ready. >> Am I being detained or >> momentarily? >> Yeah, it's me. Why is this not working? I have a name and date of birth when you're ready. >> Probable cause. >> Diaper bag cuz I have a child at home. >> Why Why would you bring the diaper bag in the style though? >> Suspicion for sure. >> I saw a perfume. >> Check the cameras. You know, I mean, >> I saw a perfume in her bag and which it was in plain view cuz the zipper was open. in plain view, right? I'm not hiding anything. >> But it it looked like a Yellowstone perfume that you got from the store. That's what they sell here. >> I know you would have known that. Where are you at? >> I saw the emblem cuz your zipper was open. Is there probable cause to search your bag or no? >> Right. >> She's detained right now. >> I'm asking if I'm being detained and whatnot and they're wanting to search my bags and I said no. So, I'm just curious what my rights are. Okay. I can just leave. I don't know. Oh, we go speak with >> she's revoked. I don't know who's driving without a P. >> That's fine. I'll be right back. >> Well, she's saying I'm being detained, you know. Don't know what that means exactly, but >> it's reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime. I'm just trying to figure things out. >> What does that mean, though? >> I have reasons to believe that you may have stole something, which is a crime. So, we're just hanging out for a second till we get everything figured out. You know, your boy's back there still in the dressing room. He's been back there for a while. >> Mike's still Yeah, Mike's still in the dressing room. Yeah, but he's got a winning this weekend. They're just being dumb. I mean, whatever suspicious or whatever they said. Up to that point, police still did not have sufficient legal grounds to conduct a search. So, they once again confirmed the situation with the employee to ensure everything. >> So, here's the deal. I just called a supervisor. I guess it's not enough for an officer to search them with just reasonable suspicion, but he said that you guys are 100% good with searching them. I do think that she has stuff in her backpack in her diaper bag. She said there's like a little Yeah, she's got a backpack with her and a coat and a couple coats. I think she's stuffing stuff in. There's a little zipper on the front of the bag and it looks like a Yellowstone like perfume bottle. >> Yes, >> that is one of them that was missing. >> And that's like a full one that's on sale >> probably. It's a the tester one. >> Okay. Is that necessarily stealing if it's a tester? I don't really know how that works. >> Steal product. It's 50 bucks. >> You have to pay for it to put it out on the shelf. >> Well, if if you want to go up to them and tell them that you're searching them more than likely I mean do that though >> as an employee. My supervisor said that you could. But as officer standpoint with the legal thing, like we can't just go and search them even though I saw a bottle in their bag. Unfortunately, >> you did see a bottle in their bag. Is it open or No, >> it's in the front zipper. I think she closed it now, but it was definitely like the Yellowstone like why like rocker on like emblem on the top of the cap. >> Mhm. >> So, >> okay. Maybe I can just talk to her and be like, >> well, we're still going to wait for I guess her boy is still in the locker room or whatever or the dressing room. So after we identify him and then we're going to try to get their license plate off the car, then we can circle back around and if you guys want to sweep through the surveillance and try to see if you have an actual like video for stealing something, then I can create a case and send it to the state's attorney and then she would end up have like a warrant for arrest. They're out of peacin. So it's like one of them deals. >> So I make a call and see if if I'm even legally able to do that. I don't know if I can. basement. >> After consent for the search was granted, police returned and spoke more directly to the woman about their suspicions. And that was the moment she abandoned her earlier denial. >> But I just looked at the cameras. We got a video of you taking one of the testers off and sticking in your backpack. If you want to return the stuff that you took right now, it's not going to be a problem. Okay? Just give it back to the store. >> To get to my You need to get my daughter off the bus. So, if I admit to taking the tester, then what? >> If there's anything else, then >> if you if you return it, they're going to let her go, right? Yes. If you just return the stuff that you took, they're let >> perfume. It's in my >> And when we check the video, there's not going to be anything else. >> No, no, there's nothing else. This is our coat. There's nothing inside the coats or inside the main backpack, right? >> It's male that's walking around with you. >> He's in the dressing room. And I don't know. I thought what he was buying was in the cart to be honest. >> So, and then I was like, "Well, I'm going to the car. So, what are you doing to put stuff in the car?" And he said, "I'm trying on another sweater." So, I don't I don't know. He's just a friend. I don't know. Unfortunately, we have to wait for him to come over here. So, >> why you came in together and you're going to leave together? >> Well, you're still detained. Did you guys come in the same vehicle? >> Yeah. >> Um, well, kind of. Our friend met us here. I walked over here because I was down gambling and then he rode with her. So, I really actually didn't even come with him. >> We came in the same vehicle. >> I walked here vehicle and not with him. I just I need to get my daughter from the school bus. >> Right. You know why it would be taking him so long? >> I don't know. He was at a wedding grocery tree trying >> the woman then admitted her actions but also provided information about the man who was with her shortly afterward. Another officer approached him as well. >> Do you real quick boss? Oh yeah. >> First up quick quick walking up on me. You got your ID on you? >> I do not. >> Don't have wallet ID. Nothing on you at all. >> Have anything on me? No. >> Okay. Sorry. >> Were you with that uh female pushing a card around? Had your uh your code in it? >> Yeah. I wasn't with her. I was just >> You're not with her. But she's carrying your stuff around. It was I had >> All right, let's let's walk up to the front of the store. >> I had stuff in the same car as her. >> Okay. All right. Let's walk up to the front of the store. If you're not in here taking nothing. >> No, sir. We had No, I just come here. I was needing to get some stuff and then send in the insurance for we could have cuz we had a house fire. >> When'd you have the house fire? >> Oh, probably about four or five months ago, but I got to get insurance gave us certain amount of money. And so now if we want anything more than what they cuz some stuff like pants and stuff, they give you like five bucks and stuff, right? Right. >> And it's like 50 to replace. >> I I get it. So you're not buying any of that. >> I I was going to, but >> I mean, you're free to buy whatever you want. >> Oh, that's fine. Uh we can talk or whatever. >> There's another officer up here. She's conducting an investigation right now. Okay. >> Right here at the front. >> It's kind of a common thing for people to stack clothing underneath their clothing in a in a fitting room. >> Immediately after bringing the man over to the woman, the female officer then intended to check the woman's bag. And that was when several other concealed items appeared. All right. >> But I got to search the rest of your stuff. Probable cause. Not a yes or no question anymore. I don't need consent. So, I'm just going to take a quick look and we can get you try to get you on your way. >> Are you in Havana right now? >> Okay. Well, I'm at farming home and I'm not able to meet you right now. So, just go to the appointment. Call me. >> Can I get an employee over here? >> I'll just tell you this is this is it. Okay. I got to go. Bye. Sorry. I'm just going to cuz I have to go to my friend's [ __ ] This is a lot of stuff right here. That's why I lied to me. >> This is mine. >> This is it. This is all >> I have to go. >> This is all your stuff. So, >> this is all your stuff. >> And that's why I didn't want you to search my bag cuz I've got >> So, I'm not getting anything back with that name and date of birth. >> Are you going to arrest me or something? I have to >> make sure there's nothing else in here. Is this your coat or is this something? >> Okay. Yeah. I'm going to need you to keep all this separate until I come back uh later and figure out how much this is all worth and everything like that. If you can take me far a vehicle, that's theirs. Yeah, >> this mine. Sorry. That's it. I just didn't dump out the back here. >> Well, how about you let me look cuz this is taking a little longer than what I'd like it to. >> We came separately. We came separately. I came I got I came in. I was shopping on my own. You can watch the cameras. I didn't I didn't steal anything. >> I didn't do anything wrong. You can check my You can search me. Whatever. >> You give me consent to search you? >> Sure. >> Just put your hands right right up on top of your hat. [music] >> In the end, the man was determined to be uninvolved in the incident. He was trespassed from the store but was not arrested. The woman was charged with retail theft. Attempting to deny or conceal wrongdoing only deepened suspicion. While cooperation earlier could have prevented far more serious consequences. >> Am I speaking to you in a calm? >> I'm speaking to you in a calm manner. >> On October 16, officers approached three women in the Walmart parking lot on suspicion that they were involved in a theft. They immediately understood what they were involved in. >> You're hilarious. Come here. >> Come here. >> Put your hands right back right now. Put your hands behind my back. So I told you >> what did I do? >> We're going to figure it out in a second. But why you running through his parking lot? >> I was looking for him. Yeah, >> I told him I didn't have my bag. I offered >> Okay. >> I offered to go back through South. >> Okay. >> Sit down. You two. Where's the other one? >> She's in the store. We have a receipt. So, the reason that y'all darting out sitting against the car, sir, the reason y'all all were supposed to y'all all were supposed to stay there when they were talking to y'all and then you decided you're going to try and step off the cops. So, I offered to go back through the line to get a receipt and he said he was calling the cops. So, I just left the cart and left >> cuz I don't I don't cops for what? You know, >> try to detangle. >> I asked him if he wanted me to go back through the checkout line and he said no. >> Okay, then why is she running? >> I was looking for her. I thought she went over there. She was right behind you. Stop. >> I wasn't running. We weren't trying to >> Can you stop with the voice, please? Am I speaking to you in a calm manner? I'm speaking to you in a calm manner. >> Never been in trouble. >> Can you stop messing with your purse, please? Ju just zip it up. I'll give a >> Which car is yours? >> My baby. >> Which car is yours? >> Um, it's a Honda. >> They denied every allegation against them. While over the radio, officers confirmed that one of them had a prior criminal record. >> Live with them. That's just the address on my >> You can sit down. True, true, true. What about you? Take your hand off on your shirt, please. You're bugging me. >> He's got to detain on a shoplifting at Walmart. >> Shortly after, a Walmart employee arrived at the scene and he had his own account of these women. >> All three of them. So, what happened? I think she was buying the drink or whatever filled out standing up at the customer host with the cart talking to the customer host in the front of the store. >> So once the girl was done checking out, she met up with two >> and they all three proceeded out the door. The one we wanted to take care of was push the cart but inside the store they were all all three of them were participating. They were all putting everything in the bags. Okay. All right. So, this is what's up. Everybody's right now under arrest for shoplifting. Okay. No one's free to leave. All right. Mom, you're going to take a seat inside the car for me. >> I don't think so. How many times you got in trouble for shoplifting? Never. All right. Then you're not going to jail then. >> Okay. Well, there's always the first time, right? Sit down. >> What do you have? >> Back in there. >> Okay. Well, you can't be out here stealing [ __ ] right? Yes, sir. It's frowned upon, right? >> Can you keep your shirt down, please? >> I offered you to go back. >> That's not That's not how That's not how that works. >> And I was sitting there talking and I got started. >> I got 14. >> I didn't pay for it. I told him, "Can I go back and pay?" >> That's not how that [ __ ] works. You know, right? Stealing. Stealing. Stealing. No, but y'all when y'all sitting in my car, you're not going to just be out here free doing whatever you want. >> I'm going to get arrested. >> Yeah, I told you all that. >> So, I'm going to jail. >> What? What? What part of Okay. Yes. >> What did I just say to her? >> I didn't hear, sir. >> Okay. Well, I don't think that y'all going to jail right now. >> Well, I'm going to run you all criminal history, and if you guys have had been stealing for a bunch of times, then that is kind of what it is. >> There seemed to be no remorse on the faces of the three of them. And in fact, the value of the merchandise they tried to take was confirmed to be far from small. >> The total attack was 949. >> Yep. 949.94. >> Okay. Uh 949. >> No, they >> I don't think so. >> God damn. >> Yeah. >> Why Why isn't it never just like one large item? >> Sorry. >> What car are they coming? Did you ask them? >> It's a Honda. It's over there somewhere. >> There's nothing in there. >> Well, our concern is being possibly being left here for a while. though. Um, >> are you serious? >> Well, due to the am due to the amount, >> they begged as if it were nothing serious at all. And even when they were transferred to another patrol car, they were still able to laugh and joke with each other. >> Nope. Dispatch, >> can you get my bag, please? My bag. >> I'm going to grab all that and I'm going to confer with you guys what all is what because all your kind of got lobbed together for a second. Set up. >> Oh, wow. I never seen the inside of this before. >> Oh, it's hot as >> I'm going to turn there. >> Slow down, please. >> Both of us. >> No, we're just going to do one at a time. >> Watch yourself. Watch yourself. Watch you in the door. >> You're going to bring our phones and stuff, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> What? >> Female. Female segated from males by sight and sound. Come on. Like I was telling the other ones, step I want to hit you with a dog. Keep going. Keep going. Um I'm going to >> All three were charged with grand theft. What starts as just taking a few things can cross the felony line in seconds. When the total climbs high enough, excuses and laughter mean nothing, and the consequences become permanent.
