I got pizzas for my um my son. Did you pay for them? No, I did not. Okay. See what See what that was? Yeah. Where are they? They're in my car. Where are your keys?

I didn't know what I didn't get the pizzas. My I did it my uh phone didn't go through. That left it right there. It was I was getting um this is like about Luna pants, the pizzas and some um stuff you were sitting on the counter. I walked out the store. I didn't even get it.

Yeah, I didn't get that bag. I just got this and all that stuff. She laid out her own wrongdoing with an attitude as if it were some kind of achievement, but in reality, it was still a lie because moments later, officers uncovered the rest of the stolen items. In the video, the two Aldi bags and a blue bag and case of pop. So, they were only $95, so Okay. How did that happen? All right. Why did you lie to us? All that other stuff is from Jewel, too.

Cuz you used the car in the commission of a crime. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. [ __ ] These stuff I took I can you just do this just a little? In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft. A lie might buy a few minutes, but it always costs more in the end when the evidence is already there, fall harder. Worse, this professional thief used her own family members to avoid responsibility. So, you came here today with you Is that your husband? I don't want to It's my kids' dad. Okay. I have to go to my Why would you feel comfortable letting your daughter walk to the stroller to get >> I don't know. On April 28th, 2023, police were dispatched to Universal after receiving reports of a family dressed in matching outfits committing theft on the property. Upon arrival, the pile of suspicious merchandise was already clearly in plain view. Let's take them back to the office. If you want, you can sit up in the front with your kids. Office is right around the corner. Can you take the kids and we take the stroller and her back there? That other bag possibly stolen from Is that your husband? Yeah. Did he have any receipts?

If not, we'll be out there later. So, he's apparently looking for receipts. I just want to have somebody >> thing in paper was the backpack, so he's going to find the receipts. Whatever, babe. Whatever. I'm already here taking everything for you, so thanks. All right. I'm just going to read you something because you're detained. >> Bye. I understand you're not under arrest. I just In order to protect your constitutional rights, I have to read you your rights. Okay. Just trying to figure out what's going on. The woman looked very calm, as if this was not her first time, and even her statements seemed very professionally handled, circling around and avoiding the issue. So, you came here today with you Is that your husband? I don't want to It's my kids' dad. Okay. How long you guys in the park? We're It's our first night. And my daughter has a competition on Saturday at 2:00. Okay. About how long you guys here for? Till Tuesday. Um so then, you guys went into Is it a Hello Kitty store over here? Yeah. That's where Okay, so why did you take the backpack without I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have left it in there. I couldn't get her card out of her little Wolverine um fanny pack. Okay, so So when I was in the store, she said my fanny pack's there. I just got it, went across the street. >> with the stroller? My husband was supposed to be with the stroller. Then my 15-year-old dad used the restroom. So I got back, he's gone, and my 15-year-old standing there with that Okay. And then, so you collect the store with the backpack to get her card out of her fanny pack. For her backpack that she wanted. Where was your purse at, your your Coach purse? That was on me. Okay, so that money in it, why wouldn't you pay for it? Because she's paying her own money. She's got water bottles that chocolate that she wants to spend her money. That's our money for competition. Okay. Wait, you have So I have plenty of money to buy whatever. That's the That's not That's why I'm pissed off right now cuz I have it. Claiming she had money was also one of the ways she tried to justify her innocence. Wouldn't you agree? But little by little, cracks began to appear in her story, drawing the attention of the police. Cash her own little cash app card with her own little money. Does your daughter have a phone? Oh, yes. Okay. And you had a phone? So why wouldn't you call your daughter to come into the store? My daughter was with me. She was with me and So why wouldn't she go out to get her money I'm not going to have her walk out of the store to go get her money. I had her by the door where she was standing by the door. As she watched me look for everything, I'm talking to my kid about where their dad is when I get there because he's not there. So as I'm having the conversation with the backpack, then they come up to me and they say, "Hey, this is not yours." She was buying more stuff. She was holding more stuff in the store that she was going to purchase, too. So it wasn't just the backpack she was going to buy. What? So the the distance of what, maybe 10 ft? You didn't feel comfortable enough leaving your daughter in the store? No, she stayed [music] in the store. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm sorry, you didn't feel comfortable enough to let her go to the stroller where your older son was at? No, I wanted to make sure all my kids I didn't have to see my husband. I didn't see him there. That's why I walked across cuz it was only my 4-year-old, my 3-year-old, and my 15-year-old son. So I didn't see him. Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have your daughter alone with your 15-year-old >> I do. Yes. Okay, so He was with my babies. Okay, but if you saw him with the stroller like you just said, he was standing there with the stroller with the babies, why wouldn't you feel comfortable letting your daughter walk to the stroller to get the backpack? >> I don't know. I'm just trying to understand. Then I crossed the mind to go across, get her things, come back and buy all the stuff she wanted. So it was like you just stepped up and you you just forgot to put the Okay. The woman used her need to protect her children as an excuse for not being able to get the money. But when questioned further about the other merchandise, she appeared to shift the blame onto the other member of her family. Why wouldn't the receipts for the other merchandise be in your bag? This is all I bought. Okay, so where did the I have her own money. Okay, I don't know. My husband was by himself. Okay, but you're in possession of the stroller. Cuz I walked Okay, my husband was standing with the stroller with all my kids. I walked across the thing looking for my husband that had the stroller and he was gone. That's why I told my oldest son where he was at. >> I'm not asking about the backpack anymore. I'm asking about all the other merchandise that was found in the stroller. I don't know. So that just You were never with your husband in any other store by yourself? So why don't Why aren't there any receipts for that? There might be. He said that everything ET he has receipts for which he's looking for right now, but he said that he took two backpacks is what he told me. So I'm fetching them out right now. He said, "All I did was take two backpacks." Okay. How much money did he bring with him today? How much did he bring with him today? 1,000 maybe. $1,000? In cash or card? Cash. So every time he went into a store, you guys What did What did you do? What did he do? I didn't What did you do? Walk my kids around and see what they wanted. We only went into two stores. Okay. So you were So like you said, none of the cameras of the store will show you with him at any point No. in the store? Okay. I mean, that's a lot of merchandise and a lot of that stuff has the security tags still on it. Did you not think that was weird why it had security tags? I didn't look at anything he bought. He was like all excited, "I bought this for so-and-so. I bought this for so-and-so." >> find it weird that >> thought that he had money, he bought it. Did you find it weird that I didn't think anything of that at all. Did you find it weird that he brought >> Her calm attitude and the way she cut off the officers made it seem as if she was truly professional at this. On the other side, the employees there had their own version of the story. I think you know where I'm going with this. Um you saw her in the store walking with the stroller and all those bags. No, no. The stroller was over at the restrooms when I first clocked her. I was walking up uh from uh north deeper in the park approaching the restrooms and the I was in the street approaching the restroom on my left. So the only thing you saw her take from the store was that bag? Yes. So what I saw is I saw her with the stroller. I saw her leave the stroller across the street, walk from the stroller into the store. Since I had observed there was a lot of merchandise in the store, I thought I'd walk just walk into the store as well just to observe what she did. I observed her approach the display for the backpack. So then her sling the backpack over her back over her right shoulder, I observed her exit the store without paying and go directly back to the stroller where she was at the store. She took possession of it, tried to bag up the backpack which she had not paid for in a bag that was hanging from the stroller. So all of her actions were clearly laid out through the employees' statements. But how did she respond when confronted about her suspicious behavior? When you went So you said you you left the store, you walked over to the restrooms um to check on your kids to >> to the restrooms, to my stroller. >> stroller, but it was by the restrooms, right? So you walked over there um and you were to check on the kids, right? Well, to get the card out of my my her cash app card out of her fanny pack. So you Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. And then when I saw the dad was missing, I'm like more focused on where Why do you eat my kids already? Okay. So why did you put the backpack inside the merchandise bag? I set it on top. Look, it was sitting on top. I had to put it anywhere. I was more worried about my kids and not being watched by my husband. He has my 15-year-old there, but he can't handle two little babies that long. Okay, so I didn't tell my son I'm going to the restroom and then leave. It's wrong. So the LPO from security is saying that you were trying to put it into the merchandise bag. >> No, I had it on top. Like I said, the bag was open. I put it on top. I'm talking to my son like, "Where's your dad?" Blah, blah, blah. I left my daughter in the Hello Kitty store. That's why I started to go back in there with her. Why did you set the backpack on top? I don't know. I shouldn't have. It was just like a like a fast thing. Like I said, I've never stolen anything in my life before. So the So the bag the bag was open and you put the bag on top. It wasn't open. It was on the thing. I set it on top of the bag. So the bags are closed hanging over and set it right there. So you basically rested the Hello Kitty backpack on top of the bag. It wasn't a Hello Kitty bag. It was ET backpack. Okay, ET, whatever the backpack was cuz there there's another Hello Kitty one in there. So the bag is closed hanging on the stroller and you put the backpack on top of the bag. >> Um going through the stuff telling my son, "Where's dad?" He's like, "I don't know. He's in the restroom." Took off and I'm like, "At that point, I'm more worried about where the hell he is." Wasn't a walk. I gave him two more minutes or I see him walk right back inside cuz that's how I am. I've never stolen anything in my whole life. Let me go Although she tried to shift the responsibility onto another member of her family, the police ultimately reached their final conclusion about her actions. This time you're already placed under arrest. Are you serious? My daughter's competition. Do you want me to leave her property with her husband? So I just wanted to get something I didn't do. Uh well, I mean, you did walk out of the store without paying for merchandise. I had bags I could pay for, but I have my money. Well, that's the problem, ma'am, is that after the fact, after the crime's committed, everybody wants to to you know, rethink their initial decision. I missed my daughter's competition. Well, you have a bond You have a bond, so if you have the money, then you can bond out. If not, then that's fine. Your husband, we're going to give all of the property that belongs to you to him. Is that okay? That way The toy and his toy and my son's toy. Okay, you are going to be trespassed from Universal for a year. Means you cannot come back. As far as your money, whatever you had left, that's going to be between you and Universal. Okay? I have nothing to do with that. It's a civil matter. But you cannot return to any Universal property until April 28th of 2024. If you do, you're subject to arrest. I've never been in handcuffs. It's so weird. I'm just embarrassed for my kids. The woman was charged with grand theft in the third degree, accused of stealing more than $1,100 worth of merchandise.

At that point, the situation had been explained to her and she could have been implicated in the case as well. >> Detective, you did steal. You did not pay for flowers.

Well, I I mean, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen family members steal together, right? And like I said, I have to go on what they're telling me until I prove otherwise, okay? The man was charged with retail theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. Desperation for a few saved dollars led him to risk everything, his freedom, his dignity, and even his own mother's reputation. One dishonest shortcut exposed a larger pattern of irresponsibility. Next, these deceitful women chose silence over honesty. LOOK THE OTHER WAY. WALK BACKWARDS. NOW. AND LOCK your hands behind your head. On October 9th, 2023, police received a report from an Ulta Beauty store about a fragrance package valued at over 11,000 dollars that was stolen in broad daylight. Based on the tracking device inside the package, officers quickly pursued the suspect. This was what happened next. Belly stop, guys. Belly stop. Belly stop. FXP. FXP. Back to your car.

Lower all your windows. Lower all your windows. Garvey, YOU COME OUT. WALK TO ME. LOOK THE OTHER WAY. WALK BACKWARDS. NOW. BOTH SUSPECTS IN THE case were arrested, but they showed absolutely no remorse. Their attitude was like disappointment at being caught red-handed. All right. I got nothing coming up with that name.

Let's try to figure out how we can move forward from there, all right? Fair? How old are you? 23. 23? All right. You have the right to remain silent to be asked any questions. Anything you say can and may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to an attorney before talking to me. And to have an attorney here with you during questioning now and in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed toward you. Do you understand your rights? Are you willing to speak with me without an without an attorney present? Mhm? Sure. Okay. That's Is that your car? It's your mom's car. What's your mom's name? Who drives it mostly? My car. Both of you? Yeah. What's your mom's name? At that moment, officers attempted to obtain a confession from the suspect, but as if by habit, the woman in the red shirt forced them to press harder, clinging to her deception and demanding proof before she would yield. Where are you guys coming from today? Came from apartment on your boyfriend's house. Did you guys stop anywhere before between there and here? Huh? No. No? All right. Look Look Look at this, sweetheart. Lying only makes it worse, okay? Look at me. I'm serious. Lying only makes the situation worse, all right? And it's not worth it, all right? It is what it is. All right? Huh? I'm already going to jail. Going to jail for what? I don't know. You guys didn't tell me yet. Huh? I'm going to take your hair out your mouth, all right? Until you got to beat you. All right. What were you guys doing up at We went to go to the mall. Huh? We went to go to the mall. All right. Just Just so we can we can wrap this up. Since if that's the the way you want to play it. I'm trying to be nice because obviously like I said, lying makes things worse and it affects how I go about doing my business, all right? And told me whatever foolishness she wanted to tell. Do you Do you understand that? You have children? You hope to be a mom one day? Mhm. You hope to be a mom one day? All right. Think of this. You have a 5-year-old baby. You come home. Let's say something tore up in the living room. All right? It's their room. It's just you and them. You already know they did it, right? You say, "Baby, come here." Yes, Mom. Did you do this? No, Mom. You think it would go better for your child if if they were honest with you and they say, "Mom, I'm sorry. I did this." as opposed to "No, Mom, I didn't do How you think that would work out? Which way would it work out better? Better for them. They might still get in trouble. But which way would it work out better? This ain't no different. What did you think about the officer's advice? If it were you, what would you have said to the woman? At the same time, another officer uncovered the evidence of their theft. I can't let you speak to her right now while we're out here, but I will I will definitely make a phone call for for you once you once we clear the scene, but I can't let you talk to her while we're out here. I just want to ask her something before I even Yeah, I'm sorry. I can't I can't do that right now while we're out here. You ever been arrested before? Not for theft. For my phone, but they dropped it. All right, something petty. This ain't an everyday thing for you, right? You ain't You ain't trying to be no jailbird, you know, make this make it be a career, right? All right, so let's try to clean this up while we got a chance right here. So, run me through today. Before all this started, where were you coming from? I understand it. Listen, self-preservation, right? You know what I mean by self-preservation? Mhm? All right. Self-preservation is the same same situation I just gave you with your with the kid, right? Cuz the kid already knows they're going to get in trouble, so they trying to save themselves. So, they figure the best way to try to save myself is to lie about it, right? That's self-preservation. >> be quiet cuz I don't know what y'all going to go about. Y'all might go out on a limb or whatever. I don't know. I'd rather my lawyer be here to talk. I don't know cuz I don't know what to say. If I say something, I already know it's going to get attacked towards me. If you don't All I'm All I'm All I'm asking you is for the truth. That's it. I'm not asking you to tell me something that didn't happen or make something up or embellish something. I'm just asking simple questions. What did you do at the That's a simple question. All I'm asking is for the truth of that. All right, just just real quick. Just step out for 1 second, real quick. Despite the officer's advice, the woman paid no attention, perhaps unsure of what to say out of fear or perhaps choosing to withhold yet another part of her story. I've never been in this position, so I don't know what to tell you. What tell you? I just told you everything you need to know before I even asked the question. I know. You know what I mean? Who drove to the store? I have a question. Yeah, what's up? If I don't tell you, do I get charges on my business? I'm sorry? Cuz if I don't say nothing, would it make it worse Would it make it worse for me? I can't guarantee you it'll be worse or better. I can only All I can say All I can say is that how my report is going to read that you were more cooperative. I don't know how that's going to play for a judge or a state attorney, how they decide to file the charges. >> what my what my tell my lawyer he talk to you guys? I'm sorry? What if I tell my lawyer he talk to you guys? Listen, anything you do is is 100% up to you. Just like anything you did prior to us meeting today, anything you do in life is your decision and you're the one who did that those actions, right? I don't want to talk, but I'd rather talk to my lawyer. Okay. All right. Good luck to you tomorrow. All right. If you uh if you want to talk to me before we y'all leave, then let me know. Huh? Can I call my mom? I told you not while we're here, but I'll get the number for you while before I leave so I can call her. And I'll call her and let you let her know what's going on with you, okay? And you might think just because I'm taking you to jail, I want you to be there. I don't. I want better for you. I really do. So, I'm I'm hoping this is a wake-up call for you, but the only way this becomes a wake-up call for you is if we go back to what I said earlier, contrition, being able to say that, "Hey, I did wrong. This is what I did wrong. Let me learn from my mistake." Holding it in, lying about it, not saying talking about it, that ain't going to help you. As for the other suspect, it was even worse. She showed no intention of remorse, especially when questioned about the reason behind their actions. This is going to sound like a stupid question. Is there a reason What? As to why you guys took the stuff? I mean, you just said it. I was getting tight. Trying to make some money. You guys ever did this before? Here's the thing. You're being honest with me, right? So, my This is my thing. Get it all out. You don't want the drip drip trickle trickle, right? So, let's say today we already know. You guys did what you did today. You You're going to go to jail for that, right? You don't want to bond out today. What's my What's my What's my charge? Well, I don't know yet. I got to go You got to go figure it out, right? This This all happened right now, right? So, I got to go We got to go sit down. This is actually here more for you than it is for me to make sure I don't violate your rights. I don't sit here and, you know, beat a confession out of you, or so to speak. You know You know what I mean? Or say Or better yet, say something that put something on paper that you never said. All right. I'll call your mom before you. Good luck to you. I hope it works out. Why do you keep saying that I'm just going to go bad or something? I don't know. Listen, man. Hey, I'm I'm just being honest with you. No, you keep saying like it's going to go bad if I don't talk. No No No No No. I'm just saying I hope it works out for you. In the end, the women were charged with grand theft. Denial and attitude do not erase evidence. They often deepen the consequences. Accountability, even in the worst moment, is always the smarter choice. Move to the next man, no sanity, no shame, no honor. HEY! STOP IT! DROP THE DROP IT! DROP IT! DROP IT! DON'T NO. On June 20th, 2024, officers responded to an emergency call from a gas station regarding a disturbance that had occurred, where the suspect was believed to be a man who had used a shovel to threaten the cashier.

THE MAN WAS handcuffed after the chaotic struggle, but it seemed that was not enough compared to what he had done, and the officers had to use additional measures to ensure safety. Who's the closest squad? You there? We're going to wait for an ambulance to get Yeah. You're not getting your jacket right now. No. Just sit back and relax. Sit back and relax. I'll get it when we leave. You're not getting it right now. You can't even put it on right now. It'll go with you with all your other property, but you're not getting it right now. We're just going to take this off you now, okay? We're going to put you on our bed here, okay? Help me up, man. I'm still ready. He showed no fear of anything until he arrived at the police station, where he seemed to become calmer during the subsequent procedures. Separate your feet. I'm going to search you again. Is there anything on you that I need to know about? Anything that's going to poke me, stick me, hurt me? >> No, we don't know, sir. No, no, sir. Nothing that I need to know about? No drugs, nothing?

Just face the wall. All right. Now, do me a favor. Put your arms out to the side. Your palms facing up. In reality, the man's agitation still lingered in his mind, which soon led him to engage in behavior that showed not the slightest trace of shame. I'm just making sure. Leave them up. Leave them up. Leave them up. Just leave your pants where they are. Just have a seat on the bench. Just keep your pants on, dude. No, we don't want to. Don't. No. You can You can put your underwear Call my sister. And she going to tell you what's going on. She brought this Just put your clothes back on. >> [snorts] >> And just your necklaces. In the end, he was charged with two felony counts of intended bodily harm, battery to a law enforcement officer, and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. However, he was later deemed mentally unfit to stand trial and was discharged from the court proceedings. What do you think about this outcome? Leave your comment below. Next, the woman had no idea she had become Walmart's star of the day. Where is she? Oh, there she is. Is this what she On March 18th, 2024, police received a report from Walmart about a theft in progress. The suspect was believed to be a woman wearing a highly visible shirt, but her behavior was extremely suspicious. Let this security employee tell what happened. >> [laughter] >> I've been watching this now here. So, the shoes she has on those are her dirty shoes, and those are our shoes. And then she concealed in her bag, I think, a uh shirt, and I'm not sure if he still has the pants on him, but I think she has jewelry as well, but I didn't see her. I saw what I saw. that those shoes are ours. We got two more coming. I'm going to send them to you. So, I know you guys are busy. Do you want to just approach on the floor? You want to let I'll I'll When they One just got here, so when she comes I'll see what she does. Hi. Hello. Sorry. That's okay. So, those are our shoes. Those are her dirty shoes. Okay. And then she has some stuff in her purse. Okay. That is ours as well. I don't know what she has on. I know you guys are busy, so do you want to approach on the floor and just Uh no, we're going to need to have her actually try to exit because at this point she could try to say like, "Well, I'm still going to pay for them." So, she would have to bypass all points, so. Okay. Okay. No worries. Try to see where she's at. She's up in the back right now? Yeah, hopefully they're almost done. And then we're going to wait till she passes. I think I have Well, these are medium, so The security employee clearly demonstrated her thorough investigation, and she even intended to continue monitoring more closely through Walmart's surveillance system, which was more advanced than a bank's. So, hopefully hopefully they'll be on their way out. I'm not sure. And it's just her so far? It's It's her. He's with her, but he You don't have anything for sure on him, though? Uh no, she's the one that's concealing everything. Where is she? Oh, there she is. You guys know who she is? No. I don't. I mean, I if anything, I'll have her on the shoes. Those are our shoes, so We're just trying to see if she's going to have to try to do it. Where are her old shoes at? Where'd she leave them? She left them in the shoe in the shoe aisle. She like put them behind other shoes. >> Okay. So, I said, "Well, if anything, I know she has stuff in that purse that belong to us, but I but that in fact like if I have anything and those are ours, so I have her on the shoes." Of course. But I don't know. They had pants and a shirt and I think they're in there, but he keeps grabbing stuff, so I don't know. And then they keep going into corners. Okay. So, maybe they'll maybe they'll go pay now. Who knows? Hopefully, so we can just be done with this. Did they Where'd they go? They're not going to go to the Oh, they're there. Okay. So, now looks like they're about to pay. Okay. And they're coming >> Hopefully. And they are going to be towards GM's side, so maybe I'll go over there. I'll be on three. Okay. All right, you wait.

I'm not sure. >> [laughter] >> Do you guys know what for sure that she put in the bag? Well, she had a pet She had a shirt a blue shirt and a pair of pants, so but I I didn't see her put it cuz she got into a corner where I couldn't see. I had someone on the floor, but but no one saw her for sure put it back or put them in her bag. >> No, so see how full it is? Yes. Right. During the surveillance, the female suspect noticed the presence of the police. So, now we saw footage of her discarding the evidence without realizing she was still being watched. If you want to just maybe wait outside. I'll let you know if they start heading out. Oh, she's going to leave her purse. She dumped her purse. Okay. Yeah, she dumped her purse. Okay. Yeah, she ditched her purse. >> Oh, no, she she's ditching her purse. They're going to walk out. Hold on. She ditched her purse to see if he's going to pick it up. He's going to get it. Yeah, she still has the shoes. They're heading towards the exit right now. She still has the shoes on. >> female. At the very moment she walked outside as if nothing had happened, the police approached her. Go, buddy. I don't think they did. They didn't do anything. They didn't even look at the pictures when I came in. No, no, no. We have your old shoes. We got your old shoes in the back, okay? I'm wearing the same shoes that I wore in here. Okay.

Unaware that she had been exposed, she still acted as though she did not deserve to be treated like a criminal. And even in the LP office, she did not admit it. So, they have you on camera swapping out your shoes, fake Macy, putting items in your purse, okay? >> Um I I didn't leave with that. Okay. No, I understand. We're not worried about that. >> using it as a shopping bag. Okay. What we're worried about right now is just the shoes. That's fine. Can I have my ticket so I can go? Okay. We're going to get done when we're done, okay? You don't run this. All right, well then are you going to check out my daughter from the daycare? No. So, You know what?

Like it's a $10 Okay, well actually I can't take you to jail. So, do you want to talk about what happened? I just needed your shoes. Okay. What's your name? Charlene Charlene Harper She made shameless statements as if she did not take the matter seriously, but in reality, she would face additional charges because this was not her first encounter with the police. Wait, what do you want to tell I'm Derek. You can come. So, you're going to jail today, actually. I have warrants for what? I said shoplifting, disorderly conduct, resisting, obstructing, or evading an officer. So, whatever anything you have prior So, show up to court, it sounds like. They could just be simple FTAs. I've never had a [ __ ] Okay. Well, it comes back to your social security number, so It goes back to my My name is my social security number. Yeah, I ran you by I ran you by your social. Okay. Regardless, you have to get them court, so work that with them. We're not going to hear during your internment. It's in your name. It's to your social. It's for you. Am I going to have a bond? The police wanted to escort her away in a gentle manner, but she seemed to prefer the opposite. Can you do this for bond? Call my mom. So, post my bond. Mama, post my bond. It's for some immunity. Resisting and disorderly conduct That's [ __ ] 2018. Garbage. No, ma'am. All right, cool. All right, ma'am. I don't like this. Great. I know. I don't like this. All right, Charlene, so you're being trespassed from every Walmart. That includes here, Rinconada, Snow Village, Wallings, every Walmart in Las Cruces, okay? So, it just says that if you come back to the Walmart, if you're even in the parking lot, they take a picture of you, anything like that, we either arrest you on the spot or we put a warrant out for your arrest. Do you understand? Do you have any questions? Any songs you want to listen to, Charlene? No. Okay. All right, you're good to go. And then, you know, I'm not I'm not booking you in jail on the shoplifting. That'll still just be a citation. Just go take care of it, all that jazz. You know, don't let it get to this point. In the end, the woman was booked on her warrant and faced an additional charge of shoplifting. Her repeated defiance and refusal to take responsibility only made her situation worse. When someone chooses to escalate instead of cooperate, the consequences rarely get lighter. They multiply. What do you think about cases like this?

She tried to maintain her image, but ended up with bad consequences. Like, why? Why give me part of it and not like theft theft? I barely lasted 3 days. On March 17th, 2025, police received a call from Walmart about a woman deliberately hiding merchandise in her purse while shopping with her family. When officers arrived, she tried to flee, but was intercepted. Here's what happened next. I can't roll my window down. What is it? Okay. When I was also driving to your guy's place, apartment, okay? The reason why I stopped you is because loss prevention was apparently watching her in the store. When I passed you, they didn't give me a real good information there. I would have stopped you there. Okay? So, apparently, she has some items that she didn't pay for. These? No, [music] I'm going to say it's not the formal pepperonis. Uh He listed a jacket, a bra. Here's the jacket. Did you pay for the jacket? No. Okay. There, that's what he's asking you. So, the jacket, what else? I didn't even know she didn't have all of it. What? I didn't even know she uh Is that it? What else? Okay. You're good. What else? Is there anything else? He wants the bra. >> You can open up that door. Yeah, open up. This fuse is blown or something. Guys, it does that sometimes. Okay. This it? The bra? No, I put it back. You put the bra back? >> Yeah. Okay. Do you have an ID? Driver's license or anything? Just picture ID? Sure. Don't drive away. Don't run me over. These women showed no shock at the police's accusations, even handing over the items they had taken without a hint of shame. Yet even after returning some merchandise, officers received reports that several items were still unaccounted for. I don't know where she dropped that. She said she put it back. I don't know why she would give me the shirt and the shorts and not the bra. She handed it all over to me as soon as I walked up there. 23, we ask her where she dropped the bra at. Uh near the shoes, I think. She says near the shoes, she say she thinks. I don't know. Near the shoes? Okay. All right. she got a Cincinnati shirt, too. What size was that? See if you See if she dumped it. Ask her if she has a Cincinnati shirt or she dropped it, also. Okay. I was just about to call you. Do you want her to come in the store and show you? Well, I mean, is there in her purse or not? I mean, she's saying no, but Can you see it anywhere? Here, where's your purse at? Is it in it? Yeah, I was about to give it to them. >> What? I mean, yeah, there's a bra in here. What kind of bra was it? Does it matter? I mean Go where? Where's the tag at? It's a XL black crop sports bra. >> XL? Brand Avia, A V I A. Yeah, Avia. Yep, that's it. Okay. Um you want me to bring her in? Tell them they need to wait. There's a pair of red shorts in here, as well. What else is in >> Yeah, please bring her Bring her Bring her up here. All right. All right, go ahead and pat her down for me. All right, walk back to my cruiser. Walk back to my cruiser. At this point, the woman behind the theft was handcuffed by police and escorted back to Walmart. Officers then inspected her bag further, uncovering additional items and revealing her incomplete disclosure. Can you place your hands together like your friend? We're just going in the office, okay? You're not going to jail or anything. We're going to figure out what's going on. I mean, you were You were being honest there for a little bit. So, what happened? What happened? So, you didn't want them to know. What else she got in there? She's really starting to piss me off now. Yeah, she was being honest. She said she lied because her friends are in the car right there and that's her boyfriend's family. She didn't want them to know. They already knew. Wait, those aren't shorts. I thought they were shorts. Sure, yeah. I know shirt. I don't think she stole that. They don't have them in stock at all. This? Yeah. Yes, this was it. >> that or what? Yeah. This is the bra. This is the Is the Is the bag a stolen? No, the bag's not. That's her bag. The woman also explained her reason for trying to conceal the stolen items. She acted without shame in committing the wrongdoing, yet in reality, she was careful about maintaining her image. Is here, too, I assume? What? Like why? Why give me a part of it not like theft theft? Like it doesn't matter whether it's a penny or $999.99. I think it's the same. Like what was the point of giving me a sh- shirt and a pair of shorts? Cuz my boyfriend's family was in the car and I didn't want them Well, they already knew, obviously, cuz when I walked up, you gave me a a shirt and a and a sweater. That's it. That's not a real good reason. Okay, well, let me get a total for this stuff. I barely lasted 3 days. >> [panting] >> Tears of remorse streamed down her face when she realized her relatives already knew the whole truth. She had believed she could hide her wrongdoing, but in reality, they all saw that she was only deceiving herself. Are you lying? You were being honest. I don't know why you're lying. Perfect? Yeah. Okay. That's it, right? Yeah, that's it. Just I tried to tell her not to lie. You know what I mean? I tried. Yeah. She's 18 and done, you know? 19, but yeah. Whatever. That's my brother's girlfriend, so Yeah. But she don't have any contacts with us. Like I put her name in the computer and she don't have any contacts with us at all. >> trouble at all, really. First time. Yeah. Well, she kicked her off. Maybe it'll scare Yeah. So, did it land or what? I mean, I I had I had full intentions of taking the stuff. I knew you did. I knew you did. So, I tried to tell her. I didn't know she had more in that bag. I said, "Give me that bag. Let me look through it." And she Yeah. All right. Thank you, guys. I want to get your receipt, yeah. You sure those bags not stolen? He said so. Looks kind of new. Now she was taken to the police station where officers explained the procedures to her. Remarkably, her attitude remained unashamed, treating the experience as just another milestone of being 18. You ain't never been here before. Uh nothing concealed in your bra or your body, anything like that? Okay. You don't even have any contacts in our system. Hm? I said you don't even have any contacts in our system. Is the heck of a way to start out here. You're going to learn a lesson at this point. So, it means you've never been here before. I can explain the process to you a little bit. They'll come down out here. They're going to pat you down and then they'll put you in that little body scanner there. Scan your body, then they'll book you in, take your picture, and slide you into one of the cells. Okay? You have court tomorrow morning. In the end, the woman was charged with theft. Hiding wrongdoing only delays consequences. Even without shame, deception is obvious and honesty could have spared her legal trouble. In the next case, the woman turned a lighter into a ticket to jail. Just for what? What do you want from Stop resisting. What? For what? What do you want from me? This is not right. For what? This is not right. >> Have a seat. >> I never did that. I never aggravated somebody. On January 2nd, 2025, police received a report from Dollar General about a woman who shoplifted merchandise and pushed a pregnant employee, then walked away as if nothing had happened. At that point, officers approached a residential area believed to be the suspect's place of residence. Hello. How you doing? Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute? Well, I need to talk to you for a second. Ma'am, I need to talk to you for a second, okay? I want to talk about Were you at the Dollar General earlier today? No. No? Can you tell me what happened there? No. You don't know what I'm talking about? Okay. You went and got some food? Where'd you get a food Where'd you get food at? At Publix? And you didn't go to the Dollar Dollar General at all? All right. Um so, listen, we have we have video footage of you in the Dollar General. Okay? So, I'm just trying to get your side of the story on things. Obviously, you were there, so what what happened? That's not what I said. Why are you changing the story up? Come on. I'm not. >> up there I just told you I woke up Okay. Words put in my mouth. I want you to prove I said she was at the Dollar General. I'm tired. I said I I forgot. I was at Sorry, I just came out Publix. All right. Um and uh and I just walked out of Publix And I from Publix, I walked straight home. The woman completely denied her presence at Dollar General. However, within her tangled account, officers still identified multiple suspicious inconsistencies. I knew you before you said you ride your bike all the way to Daytona, so Oh, yeah, I usually ride my uh cruiser bike, which is at Dollar General It's upside down. I mean, I fixed it a wheel on it, but Well, sorry, yeah. It's If you If you do lose a spot of the tire You don't have your bike here? I don't have my bike here. You do? I thought you said it was upside down somewhere. No, it's upside down. I took off the tire. I have the sitting roller tires kicking off and I usually put sun in there. Is it in the back? Um yes. Do you mind if I just look at it? No, but I do lie every now Okay. I can't hear you. So, you weren't you weren't at the Dollar General at all? You didn't go there to get a lighter? No. No, no, no. Okay. No, I got you food from Publix. What time was that? Did you remember what time you went there? Was it this morning? Yeah, were you wearing that that you have on? Um no, I wore I just wore gray pants and uh some like With every question the officers asked, the woman appeared hesitant, as if she had to think through each answer carefully. At that moment, another officer at the store clarified what had actually happened. So, she's been here before. She's always up to no good doing stuff, but usually we don't call the cops because they don't get to her in time and it doesn't make a difference. But so she comes she comes back in by the time I come up front and she's trying to pay for the lighter and I'm like whatever I'm just going to let her pay for it so she can go. She doesn't have any money for it. She's like digging around and then she's like can I just get a cheaper one? I'm like fine and really I'm just trying to get her out. >> Yeah. So she grabs another one and she's trying to give me like change and I'm telling her like this is not enough to cover the lighter. And she's like well didn't I give you change and didn't I give you this give you that and she's just like skitzing out or whatever and I was like you didn't give me enough. And um so I'm walking over there towards the lighters with her and um she's trying to walk out with it past me and I was like you're not leaving with the lighter and then she just puts her hands on me and then goes out. >> she like pushes you out of the way. Okay. You have video of that by chance or anybody can access it? >> Um I can see. Okay. Are you the manager? Yes. Okay. Yeah, before I came here I mean we were relatively close. I looked all over the you know plaza Publix area kind of thing. I didn't know if she was in there. >> in there. Coincidentally, a witness who was also present provided additional details about the woman's assault. Go ahead. Okay. No, you're good. You can continue where you left >> um the lady said a dollar 44 >> Right. and she gave her a dollar 30 or something like that. >> Yeah. And the lady the customer employee said you don't you didn't give me enough. And she's like here and she like threw a penny or a dime I don't know what it was. And she said I'll just steal it. So the lady goes down and the the employee goes out and she said you're not you're not leaving. Yeah. And she's standing there and the lady you know as she's going she's pushing her and then she open-handedly pushed her. So that's when I went out and I said how dare you put your hands on a pregnant woman >> Yeah. for a lighter you crackhead. God did I I I was so livid. And um I said over a lighter? She take take off towards like town center or something? >> Well she went behind. So Oh I see. Okay. Yeah, so I don't know if she like I tried to look in the woods like there were some balloons back there but I didn't Yeah, we could not find her but I'm sending out like a attempt to locate and everything like that. >> She had a silver bike. Look like a silver >> Yeah, it looked like a pricey bike, [music] you know. Um >> style type bike or a beach cruiser or what? Uh A bigger one not like a BMX or what? No, no, no. Definitely like a high you know, high style but >> Okay. She had something over her face. Look like she maybe had a wig on. >> Yeah. Um Something >> the manager the lady she pushed said that she comes [music] in often and like does this kind of time and like returns stuff or tries to return things to get like beer and cigarettes. >> Yeah, yeah. Thus, the story was not fabricated to harm the female suspect. It was the truth. At that point, police approached her you using a pretext intended to divert her attention. What? >> No, you guys this is like the fifth time you guys come over to my house. Listen. What I'm saying is we've had some car breaks in the area throughout the night. So we know if your car was unlocked we want to make sure nobody has taken anything. >> get into your car. No, it's fine. It's fine? Thank you. Get out of here. >> Do you want to check your car to make sure? Why would I want to check my car? I'm sorry. What is the purpose of you >> sure nobody broke into it. Who called? What is the purpose of your arrival? Two two houses down there's somebody's car that got broken into. We're just making sure every neighbor around hasn't got anything taken out of their vehicle.

Okay. We just want to make sure. Oh it doesn't even run. Um yeah, I don't know. I don't think so. There's nothing really in there.

It's it's a good one supposed to I noticed the uh the window. Yeah, it's fine. The window is broken. It is? Yeah, my dad's supposed to pick it up on Monday. I don't know what he's doing. The police plan appeared to succeed when the woman stepped outside her house but only once she fully entered her yard did officers reveal the true purpose of their presence. Maria. Maria, stop for a second. Come here. What do I need? What do I need to >> I need to talk Listen, okay? I don't need to stop for you. You guys >> Yes, you do. Okay, listen to me.

You You put your hands on her. >> I did not put my hands on anybody. You can't block the entrance. From the very first moments officers appeared, the woman completely refused to cooperate which resulted in an additional charge of resisting. Only after being arrested did she begin demanding that the situation be addressed. I would like to see the video. Can I get a No, that's not true. You guys are you You have anything on you Maria that's going to poke me stab me or anything? Okay, with the back of my hand I'm just going to check, okay? Nothing?

The woman tensely denied everything but moments later her tone softened. Not out of cooperation but out of pleading. What's that? Um I would never hurt anybody. I would never start a fight. >> have to hurt anybody. It's the pushing, okay? I I never did >> To get out of the store. All right? >> I never No, no, no. I was just trying to get out of the store.

But So when you're leaving the store did you push anyone or No, I really didn't. Finally, the woman was charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant person and petty theft. Denying the truth and resisting authority only made the situation worse. Accountability and cooperation at the right moment could have prevented far more serious consequences. Next up, the man feigned innocence while facing a no-nonsense cop. How many times you've stolen from here? Go. Have a seat. Not many. >> Not many. Too many. I made a mistake, okay? Yeah, there's a lot of mistakes that you made. Almost On May 31st, 2025, police received a call from a store reporting that a man previously cited for trespassing and shoplifting had returned. They immediately arrived on scene and approached him while he was visibly panicked. You taking this with the chargers? Okay. Yeah. What's up? Come on, bud. Oh. What's up, buddy? You stealing in there? You previously trespassed from there. Oh, is that right? Yes, sir. You know that. You knew it. I don't know. Kind of weird. Nope, you already knew it. And you stole yesterday. Yes, you did. Sorry. Can I have my bag? Nope. It's all items in here. You can't be here. I'm not going to be here. While being escorted, the man continued to plead with the officers showing no remorse and the police responded to him without hesitation. Come over here, bud. Yes, sir. Can I just go home? No. Absolutely not. Okay. You got him real quick? Yeah. Can I just say I can't come back and go to another I I [snorts] come back. Yeah, one more thing is that No, I won't. It was evident that the man had returned with the intent to steal, just as he had before. Yet, he still believed he could plead to be let go, despite what had already transpired. You pat him down? No. Hey, hold on. Hold on. I got him. You got him? I don't have anything on me. Can I just go home? Nope. Have a seat. Yes, sir. Let me grab these. Trying my best. You're good. Do you know how many times you've stolen from here? Go. Have a seat. Not many. Not many. Too many. The man feigned innocence, attempting to downplay his wrongdoing, completely unaware that the police already knew everything about him. You don't think so. >> You want to go on that side? Give me your All my money goes to them. No. Yeah. Yesterday you took two bottles of wine and some ground beef. Two bottles of wine that you already drank and a pound of ground beef that you already ate. How do you know that? Because I saw We saw you on video. Oh. That's why you're going to jail. And for trespass. What's up, Christopher? I told you not to come back, and you just continue to come back. That's just not smart. I just came to get a sandwich cuz I was hungry. >> Yeah, but you still >> a mistake, okay? Yeah, there's a lot of mistakes that you made. Almost every single day you come here and steal [ __ ] I don't steal from here. All my money is goes to them from my card. No. My debit card. >> No. Yeah, I got I got a >> going to steal today. I got receipts. Finally, the suspect was charged with shoplifting and trespassing. The man's attempt to feign innocence backfired, showing that trying to deceive the authorities only leads to inevitable consequences.
