Are you serious? >> Yes, I am. You're under arrest now, too. >> No, you're done. What the are you doing? >> Stuart Sandbar sits in Martin County, Florida, where the St. Lucie River opens up into a shallow stretch of water that becomes, on any given weekend, the Martin County Sheriff's Office runs a marine unit specifically for this purpose. Patrol boats that move through the anchored vessels, checking for safety violations. He watched a 25-year-old woman pick up a bottle of Tito's vodka. He watched her pour [music] it into a green Solo cup. He watched her hand the cup to a girl in a black bikini. He watched the entire sequence from bottle to cup to hand without blinking. Then he approached the boat and asked a question whose answer would determine whether the next 20 minutes [music] were a citation or catastrophe. How old are you? >> 25. >> You're 25. How old are those three girls? >> I don't know. I just helped them load it. >> How do How old do you think they are? >> I'm younger than 21. >> Okay, then why would you pour them a cocktail? >> I'm not afraid of >> You actually did. You You poured it into the green Solo cup and then No, you poured it into the green Solo cup and then you handed it to the girl in the black bikini. I watched the entire time. Why would you do that? >> I did not do that. >> Okay, why would you do that? Okay, it's in the cup holder when they saw me spin around. So, my question to you again is, I watched you pour from the Tito's bottle into the green Solo cup. Hold on. Hold the green Solo cup that you handed to the girl in the black. Why would you do that? >> I did not pour it. >> Yes, you did. Why would you do that? >> I only poured this in the >> didn't. No, you didn't. Why would you do that? >> Yes, I did. >> Why would you do that? >> You did. So, go grab your ID and you're under arrest for possession of alcohol and providing Yes, for providing a minor alcohol.

Yes. >> Wait, what happened, sir? >> Go away. Go get your ID. >> You're going to give her a ticket? >> Yes. >> But you can't arrest her. >> Yes, I can. >> I mean you can, but don't do it. We're just having a conversation. >> I don't care. I don't I don't need I don't need your help. Go get your ID. >> that's my daughter. >> I don't care who she is. She's over the age of 18. She can talk to you after I'm done. >> Well, so we'll get a lawyer and I want to know >> You're more than welcome to get yourself a lawyer. Go get one. >> What happened? >> None of your business. >> She gave a minor age alcohol. >> Who? >> I don't know. Something I just overheard. >> I'm not here to argue with you and I'm not here to fight with you. >> She >> You She provided alcohol to three minors. >> Asked the girl in the black bikini directly, "How old are you?" "15." The deputy told Maggie she was under arrest for providing alcohol to a minor and instructed her to retrieve her identification from the boat. What followed was not compliance. It was a 5-minute performance in avoidance. >> Well, how do you know she's not of age? Do you know she's not of age? >> You don't think those three girls are underage? Okay. Would you like me to prove it? >> What if she's not? >> Young lady in the black. How old are you? Yes. There we go. She's 15. I have every intention of it, but I'm not going to argue with everybody here on this sandbar. If she doesn't come over here within the next 30 seconds, I'm putting her in jail. Hurry up. Get your ID. Now, we're going >> No, no, no. >> No, no, no. I'm done. >> Give her a minute. >> Excuse me. >> Come on, dude. >> Yeah, so we're going to write her a nice ticket for her permit. >> Just give her her ID, man. >> Sure I can. Come on. Come on. Let's go. Come on. >> No. >> Come on. >> Hold this, sir. Stop. >> Come on. >> Come on, dude. >> Come on.

For real. >> Let her out. Let her out. Let her out. >> Come on, man. >> Can I just get my ID? >> Are you serious? You can't give the girl a few minutes to get her ID, dude? >> Yes, I have it. >> Why you got to don't get the purse? >> Yeah, I'm grabbing her purse cuz it was in her possession at the time that I took it. >> No, if it was if it was, then why don't she get my ID? Why don't you let her get her the purse? >> Step up. Step up. Step up. >> Nothing better to do. >> Nope. >> Why? >> Step up. >> Don't push her. >> Step up. >> Wait, well, but where's the purse? >> Step up. >> Let's go, dude. >> Can you >> Step up. >> Where's the purse? >> Step up. >> I'm not. >> Excuse me. >> Just don't >> You're under arrest now, too. >> Are you serious? >> Yes, I am. >> No, you're done, too.

I swear to god. Please stop. I promise you I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Climb up. >> I'm right here, girls. I'm right here with you. >> Climb up. >> I promise you I'm not doing anything. >> Why you got to be like this? >> Do not >> Stop. >> fighting him. Don't fight him. >> Please stop. >> Stop resisting. >> Stop. >> I'm not resisting. >> I don't care. Go up. >> Maggie denied pouring the drink. She denied it while the deputy told her he had watched her do it. The deputy responded with the patience of a man who has been lied to on a sandbar before. Yes, you did. I watched you. I'm not blind. Then, Jessica arrived. She announced herself as Maggie's mother and immediately began doing what mothers do when their adult children are in trouble. >> right now. Female officer right now. >> Okay. >> Right now. Right now. >> All the way over. >> Right now. Right now. >> Too much. >> Right now, dude. What is wrong with you? >> Come on, man. >> Maggie, go. >> Don't touch her. Don't >> Female officer right now. A female officer right now. >> Are you serious? >> Stay up there. Stay up there. >> Go up. >> Female officer right now. >> Right now. >> Go up. Go up. Go up. Go up. Go up. >> No female officer. >> All the way over. All the way over. >> Call your captain, bro. >> All the way back to >> Bro. >> Get in the back of the boat. Sit. >> Follow slider here. >> Get off. Get off. >> I'mma call 911 right now. >> Go ahead. >> Call your captain right now. >> I don't have a captain. >> Yeah, you do. >> No, I don't. >> Yeah, you do. >> No, I don't. >> Come on, bro.

What's that? >> You like that, bro? You like that? >> 500 13 marked down from metal. >> You're under arrest for for interference. Okay? You're under arrest for providing alcohol to a minor and resisting arrest. >> And while this exchange was happening, while Jessica was negotiating, and Maggie was denying, and the crowd was watching, 5 minutes passed. 5 minutes during which Maggie could have walked to her boat, opened her bag, pulled out her identification, and accepted a citation that would have allowed her to spend the rest of the afternoon on the sandbar. She did not get her ID. She argued with the crowd. >> [music] >> She made phone calls. She stalled until the deputy had to leave his patrol boat, board her vessel, and arrest her himself. >> And you're also under arrest for resisting arrest. >> I'm sorry. >> And escape. Cuz when I put you on the boat, you jumped off and tried to hide. >> I just have a question for you though, sir. >> Sure. >> What did she do in the first place? >> She provided alcohol to a minor. >> But I didn't. >> You did. I'm not going to This isn't an argument for you. This is >> camera. >> Like sir, it's my 5th I I'm I'm I'm I'm >> Okay, okay, okay. How are you going to prove that? >> What do you mean? I watched you do it. >> not even >> But you're talking to a kid. >> But >> Are you talking to a kid that you're doing this to? >> Okay, but I didn't do it. >> But I I swear that I wasn't >> You, when I took her when I took her off the boat, you pulled that from me and then snatched from me. So that doesn't work. That's the end of the day. >> I you're right. >> Okay? That's the end of the day. It's a simple ticket and you would have been on your way. >> But >> But you want to exacerbate the situation. >> No question >> No question me. >> Okay? You want to exacerbate, you want to deny, you don't want to come back to the boat. Guess what? I don't care what any of those people think. Okay? So here's the deal. Yes, I saw you. Yes. >> I was going to get my ID. >> No, you were procrastinating and I actually sent somebody over to get their He told you to come in and get your boat. Come bring your ID. >> I was going to get my ID. >> You continued to to the point where I was able to get my ladder, get off my boat, walk to your boat. You still weren't in your bag. >> Did you not hear me asking her where she put my purse? >> So >> I don't know where I put my >> I have the purse. >> She had her purse. >> I had her purse in my bag. >> I don't know where she put my purse. >> Okay. >> So all it took me was if you could not there 5 minutes >> No, it was my fault. I had her purse. >> Okay, it doesn't matter. >> No, but I had something on >> When I tell you that you're under arrest and I and I put handcuffs on you, you don't get to keep pulling away. You don't get to keep fighting me. You don't get to do that. >> Well, I've never been under arrest, so I don't know. >> Well, what do you think would happen when handcuffs are put on you? Does that mean Does that mean that I get to go play and run around? >> one second? >> No. >> You asked me to get my ID. >> Yes. >> I was getting you my ID and then you came over to the boat. >> Yes. >> let me provide you my ID. >> You were given ample opportunity to get it. You decided that you were going to argue with everyone there and try to plead your case. So here's the deal. >> Okay, I understand. >> under arrest. Here, this is the end of the problem, all right? As soon as my partner gets over here, I'm going to get life jackets on you and we're going to the jail. >> Okay. >> Okay? Everybody understands that. Okay. >> I'm so upset. You have no idea. >> What's that? >> A mother who had come to help her daughter was now facing three charges of her own because she could not accept that her daughter had poured vodka for a 15-year-old and that the deputy had seen it happen. The boat ride to shore was 20 minutes of two women in handcuffs arguing with a deputy who had stopped listening five minutes into the sandbar encounter. >> What is >> Well, you're the one acting like a [ __ ] I need a set of cuffs. >> No, please. >> And then there's some real angry people down there for you. >> You have proof of that though? >> Of what? >> Of her I I don't know >> Yeah, I watched I watched. You did. >> No, I did not. >> But you did. >> Okay. >> Stand up for me. >> Yes, sir. >> Turn your hand Turn around, please. Put your hands behind your back. Actually, let's put your vest first. >> I'm really going to traumatize you, nurse. Like, really. >> Then you know better, don't you? You know better than to come snatching stuff from a cop and then try to pull away from them and then jump off a boat after he's put you in custody and tells you to sit down, don't you? >> Yes. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. >> Yes, I'm so much in the lead right now. >> Okay, all the way on the ground, not on the seat, because we're going to take a transport, so I need you on the on the ground of the deck. On the deck. On the deck. Sit. Yep. All the way down. Stand up. >> Can I ask you one question? >> Sure. >> Do you have cameras on your strength? >> No. The camera's on me. >> So >> Turn around. Turn around. See, this is again we This is again we don't listen. We don't listen to instructions. We don't do what we're supposed to do, and lo and behold, here we are arrested again. >> I understand what you're saying, but the video I never said anybody under the age of 21 a drink. >> Actually, you did. >> No, I did not. Okay. >> I'm going to take this off your head real quick. >> I'm not getting involved. Right now, I just need you to sit on the floor, that way we can get back safely. >> I'm 31. I'm 31. >> I have two possible problems, Derby Beach. >> Can I put this back on for you? >> I'm not going to take it. No. >> That's the only way it's going to make it back with you is if it's on You're You're not going to hold it. You got handcuffs on you in a second. >> It's fine. It's fine. Is it going to stay on my head now? >> Yes. I'm not going to listen. That's it. Okay. I'm 31. I'm 31. I'm 31. >> The body cam recorded every word. Maggie tried one more time. I was just making a drink for myself. The deputy responded, "Your lie. You tell it any way you want." Maggie then asked the question that sealed her case in a way she did not intend. "How can you say it's a lie if you don't have cameras?" The deputy pointed to the device mounted on his chest. Camera. He had been recording the entire time. >> I look your mom? I look I look that old? >> Here's what he told me that you were her mom. >> No, I'm not her mom. That's my my children are out there. My 6-year-old's out there. >> I'll get him on the phone. Uh third man. Third man. Okay. >> Well, yeah, they're going to Yeah, I want to go over there. >> Well, he's supervisor. >> Yeah, I want to go over there. Can we have the guy come like to the conversation because I don't understand >> Right. Again, you saw that I just rolled up. >> Yeah, you just rolled up. But can I speak with the sheriff? >> Let's just hold up. Let's make it back to the shore and then we'll let him make that decision. All right? >> Cuz I just want to understand where I went wrong in this entire thing because I didn't somewhat feed anything to anybody. So >> I'm Look, I don't even know what happened right now. We're just going to make sure you guys are back to shore safely. All We are going to be going out on the river. There is some boat traffic. It might get choppy, so you may want to sit on your butt. Your choice if you're it's going to hurt your knees or not. Just trying to throw that out there. >> Can I just ask a question? Like I don't understand if you don't have like cameras or anything. I was just making a drink for myself. >> Your lie. You tell it any way you want. >> Okay. I don't I don't understand how you can say it was a lie if first of all, you don't have cameras and I never served a drink to anybody under the age of 21. >> Hello, Victor, can you Camera. >> Yeah. So, then if you have proof, go ahead and show it. You said you >> That's for That's for your defense attorney, not me. Before we go into the jail, I will get you cover-ups. I will not take you in there looking like that, okay? >> Wait, I >> You don't remember telling me that that was your daughter? >> No, I said my daughter was on the boat with my daughter. >> No, no, no. You said when you came up to me screaming at me and when I told her to go get her ID that she was your daughter and you wanted to know what was going on. You demanded to know what was going on. You don't remember that? >> I have a 6-year-old daughter. I You're not I don't I'm her age. Why would I say that was my daughter? >> I don't need I don't need your help. Go get your ID. >> that's my daughter and that's my >> I don't care who she is. She's over the age of 18. She can talk to you after I'm done. >> Well, so we'll get a lawyer and I want to know >> You're more than welcome to get yourself a lawyer. Go get one. >> That's I That's why I asked told her if she could sit next to her mom. >> I I'm sorry, but I'm going to tell you something. >> Jessica continued to argue. She claimed she had never told the deputy that Maggie was her daughter. The deputy reminded her that the body cam had recorded her saying exactly that. She changed her story. She said her daughter was on the boat, a different daughter, a 6-year-old. >> Your behavior. >> What is my behavior? >> Awful. Yes. >> Why did you ask me to get you my ID? >> No, I told you you were under arrest. Go get your ID. There's a difference. >> Correct. You didn't pull your You didn't pull out your handcuffs. You asked me to get you my ID, right? >> I said you're under arrest, you assaulted me. >> Correct. You asked me to get you my ID. So, what did I do? I went on my boat Can you let me talk? Can you let me talk? Did I Did I say Did I say a lawyer? I did not say a lawyer once. Can you put your video camera on me? >> That's where they were telling >> No, please. I did not say I was going to get a lawyer. >> I didn't say you did, she did. >> Okay, did I say that? >> No, she was telling you to do it. Don't do anything he tells you to do. No, no, no, no, no. No, I didn't. I did not. I did Sit down. Sit down. >> not get a lawyer. >> Sit down. Sit down. I know you didn't get a I didn't say that. I said that they were telling you to get a lawyer. >> All I'm asking, you asked me to get my ID. >> And you did. >> What did I do? >> Go on the boat. >> Right, asked me for her purse. I asked her where she put my purse. >> You didn't reach for your You didn't get your purse. You did not get your purse until I got on the boat and then you went to a bag. There's a difference. >> where she put my purse. Oh my god. It took like what, 2 minutes? >> 2 minutes too long. >> They they expect your ID in 2 seconds. >> Yes. Yes. >> Where's your ID? >> It's in my wallet. >> Okay, is it going to take 2 minutes to pull it out? Really? >> Here, 2 seconds. >> Okay. And and you you catch me on the sandbar, not even not even on my boat. Seriously though. >> Seriously though. >> Really? I I couldn't even >> All right, we're going to we're going to sit up a little bit. You might want to sit on your butts cuz you I don't want you to bounce on your knees and hurt yourself. You're more than welcome to stay like that, but you're responsible for your own behavior. >> The backup deputy asked Jessica what her behavior had been. She asked what he meant. He said one word, awful. Before entering the Martin County Jail, the deputy told both women he would get them cover-ups. They were in bikinis and swimwear. I will not take you in there looking like that. >> All right, I guess we leave all that there. This will go with the them. And then we'll go ahead and Okay. Can you stand up? Need help or can you do it on your own? >> Yeah, just a little bit. >> You got it.

We're going to transfer you onto Just turn it this way it'll be a little bit more easy on your arm. Ladies, these two gentlemen are here to transport you only. They have no vested interest in this case, it's me who does, all right? Don't give them a hard time. first and then I'm going to get the jail. Do you want me to put your boat back over there? No, I got to take my boat over there. I got to drive over there. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, so >> Okay, so the complaint that's on its way >> I think they're not getting arrested but it's supposed to be on that basis I did. >> I don't know what happened. >> Again, we're going to come up this officer. Literally like in the middle of adopting a child. >> Listen, listen, listen. >> I have no idea what it trouble I see you now. It's like you have no idea. He's so mean. It's like what is he doing right now? >> Okay, what happened? Can I help you? I'll turn the AC up for you guys. >> heat So, I I really have no clue what happened. Nothing like that.

They will explain it to you. I I Again, I don't know. Again, I don't know what happened. I have no clue what happened. Okay? Yes. >> Maggie faced providing alcohol to a minor and resisting arrest. Jessica [music] faced interference with a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and escape. Three people were arrested. A crowd turned hostile and everything that followed, every denial, every argument, [music] every jump off a boat was an adult's attempt to undo the damage done by a child telling the truth.
