Three in the city. And do you think I really care if I was going 20 miles over the speed limit? >> On April the 22nd, 2024, a Webster police officer attempted [music] to initiate a lawful traffic stop after observing a black SUV traveling at 55 mph in a 35 zone. The driver, later identified as Monroe County District Attorney Sandra J. Doorly, appeared unable to accept that she was being pulled over. She was a D.A. after all and clearly believed that the officer had no authority to [music] stop her. >> I'm the D.A. I was going 55 coming home from work. >> 55 in a 35? >> I don't really care. >> Okay. >> So you can call me >> Can you come Can you please come over here? You're on a This is on a traffic stop, ma'am. >> Yes, it is. You can call Dennis Cormier right now. >> Okay, I'm telling you why I stopped you. You didn't stop at all.

I'm doing my job. You say you're a DA? >> I am the DA. >> Okay. >> Okay, let me get you my badge. I am the DA of Monroe County. >> I just don't understand the hostility towards me. I'm doing my job. >> And you're being >> How am I being an a >> I am the DA of Monroe County. >> I understand that, but that doesn't give you a right to go 55 in a 35. And you even admitted to me that you went 55 I understand that, ma'am. I understand that. >> don't You know what? If you give me a traffic ticket, that's fine. I'm the one who prosecutes it, okay? Just go ahead and do it. Go ahead. >> I just don't understand the hostility. I understand you're coming home from work. >> And half the time I was on the phone with Dennis, telling him, "Why are you pulling me over?" >> You're not even supposed to be on the phone to begin with. You should know that. Oh oh oh >> I'm hands-free. Absolutely. You should know the law. >> Okay. If it is hands-free, that's great. But at the end of the day, you were going 55 in a 35. That's 20 miles over the speed limit. >> Okay, you know what? That's fine. You know what I've been dealing with all day? Three murders in the city. And do you think I really care if I was going 20 miles over the speed limit? >> Hey, >> just doing my job. If you pulled If you pulled over when you saw my lights, which obviously you did, >> I thought you were going somewhere else because I thought no one would ever pull a black SUV if you ran my plates. >> I didn't run your plate. I just called your plate out. And then I'm following you because you're not stopping. So I had to take the air from dispatch. >> Just please. >> Hey 53, you can have the air back, by the way. >> Copy >> Just come outside over here. >> No, I'm not going outside. >> Okay. >> I'm waiting for you just to leave. >> Well, I'm having a supervisor come cuz that's what my chief told me to do. >> 53, let me out of my room. No. This is a >> Do you have your driver's license? >> I just showed you my driver's license. >> Show me your Show me your badge. >> 10-4 >> Really? >> We have a 14-year-old having a seizure 200 Eastern Road. Road, coming 200 on the third floor. >> Because I was going 55 up to speed limit. >> 10-4, get your unit over here. >> And I was just trying to >> of the She's a DA. >> Yep, I know. And I was just trying to pull into my driveway. I was on the phone with Dennis Kolodziej saying, "Would you please tell the person who's following me that I'm just almost home?" >> Ma'am, I understand you were going home, but I started my lights back at Phillips Road. >> I'm on Phillips Road, yes, you did. And there were other cars. >> I was right behind you, directly behind you. At the end of the Listen, at the end of the day >> Go ahead if you want to write me a traffic ticket, that's fine. >> Okay, at the end of the day at the end of the day, I was stopping you for speed. If you had just stopped, >> day. I've been dealing with >> Ma'am, I get it. Ma'am, I get it. We have bad days also, ma'am. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> We have bad days also. I'm going to just add it to the job real quick. You can just go and actually add it. You don't have to use the air. At the end of the day, I was just making a traffic stop, doing my job, what I'm supposed to do. Okay. So, now supervisor's on his way and then we'll go from there. Huh? Sergeant Johnson. I understand you had it like I get it. I We all have bad days at work. Well, this is a traffic stop and I you out of everyone should know that if there's a legal traffic stop, which I have, I have the right to detain you until this is done. >> Then just write me the ticket. I really don't care. >> Okay. Well, then just hang out at the back of the car. >> Because I'm the one that's going to prosecute myself. >> I Okay. Just come out here for me and just stand >> While the officer was still trying to get DA Dorley to comply with his instructions, backup officers arrived at the scene, but almost immediately something she said made it clear to them that even a full team of officers would struggle to make a conceited DA abide by the very law she claimed to uphold. >> Corey, you just want to stand up here. Yeah, as long as this is related to the job. Sergeant on his way? >> Cuz he said 10-4. >> Okay. >> He turned around and he didn't know that it was me. I wasn't sure because there were other cars going back and forth. Then I got to turning into the Crest and I'm like, I'm just going to drive home." That's what I did. So, that's the end of the story. And I got on the phone with Dennis. I don't know. Even before I turned before I turned in and said, you know, it's me that they're stopping. Just tell them it's me. So, I don't know if that's true. >> That's what we do. >> General rule of thumb, if you see an electric company >> 942 >> I don't know what their other cars are supposed to do. I'm just going to pull in. >> You have any issues now? >> I would advise against that. I mean, you're supposed to pull off to the side of the road if somebody with their emergency lights is coming behind you anyways. >> Yeah, I just I just >> Corey, Corey, it's fine. Just We're having supervisors come, and then we'll go from there. >> Oh, come on. Just >> I I This is what my chief wants. That's At the end of the day, you called him. I spoke to him on your phone, and this is what he wants. >> him again, seriously. It's like you're getting fried neighbors. Seriously, there's three officers here already. I'm waiting for a supervisor. >> You guys can go. You guys go. I'll wait here with Wait for sergeant or LT. Sounds like LT's coming though. >> Oh, thank goodness. I was going 20 miles an hour over the speed limit up hills. I didn't pull over. I just figured I'd drive to my driveway instead. You shouldn't have run the plate. It's a big black machine. >> Within minutes, the supervisor arrived, ready to take control of the situation and prevent any further escalation, mindful of her reputation. However, her response made it clear that she had little regard for her image or the damage her continued attitude could cause to her name. >> It's really It's really big of you. So, it's turning into a much bigger deal. >> Well, you can't You can't say that, you know? Well, who wants to do that? Your job because of you? >> No, it's fine. I said, "Write me a ticket." >> But I was just saying >> I was not going to stop at those roads at 5:30. >> Well, you broke it on purpose then. Right? You should know better than anyone. This is not traffic. This is not an arrestable offense. You know you >> I don't have my license or anything to show officer. >> Why would you have to make it a bigger deal than it needed to be? Maybe you are here to get yourself in a I didn't ask you to have a conversation with me in the middle of this. I don't want to be here. I don't want Did you provide me with your identification? >> Yes. Yes. >> You have your ID? >> I gave it back to her. It's all attached to the job and everything, so. >> I didn't want to stop in the toll circle. I was right down the street. I figured I would just stop in my driveway. That's what I figured. I thought I thought it would be easier. >> All right, ma'am. So, I'm issuing you speeding zone 55 in a 35. >> I'll take care of it since I'll be prosecuting myself. >> Okay. At the end of the day if you see my lights and sirens behind you and obviously they're going off, just pull over. We can have a conversation and be on our way. I kept my eye on your vehicle. I'm not going to check my computer to see what plate it is if a vehicle is not stopping for me. I want to keep my eyes on that vehicle for my safety so I make it home at the end of the day. Okay? I I'm sorry that you had a bad day >> Yeah. >> and I'm sorry it went this way, but I do respect what you do. Have a good day, ma'am. >> In the end, [music] DA Dorly was charged with failure to comply with a traffic stop and in a statement the following day, Dorly apologized for her [music] conduct and informed the public that she had pleaded guilty to the speeding ticket. Just like DA Dorly who got knocked right off her high horse, Sheila Jones got a slice of humble pie after she tried to use her position as an attorney to bully her neighbors into giving up their property. >> I think she's an attorney. >> She said I need a car. I'm going to have to fight against you. I'm going to have to fight against both of you. >> I would like to help talking to the people that are protecting me so I can see if they would like me to answer questions. I don't think they want me to answer questions. I am. >> No. On April the 23rd, 2023, officers responded to a residence following a report of a domestic [music] disturbance. Upon arrival, they approached the suspect, later identified as Sheila Jones. Her purpose is speaking with her to better understand the situation. Instead of cooperating, however, she devised a calculated way to avoid questioning altogether. >> Where is she at? >> [clears throat] >> Where is she at? Your chick's pregnant? Ma'am, you want to step it out for me? Ma'am, it's a called out police. Step out for me, please. Can I talk to you? Come over here for me. Ma'am, step over here for me so I can talk to you, please. Ma'am, step over here so I can talk to you, please. You're not listening. Either you step over here, I'm going to go over there. All right, turn around. Turn around. Turn around. Turn around. Turn around and put your hands behind your back now. Put your hands behind your back. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. WE'RE GOING TO GET UP NOW? ARE YOU going to calm down? You're going to calm for me? Okay, we're going to get up and we're going to do this again. >> Okay, sit up Kevin. >> Sit up. Put your hands behind your back now. Thank you. All you got to do is just listen now. What do you want to do Kevin? Let's go. >> You were right I guess. >> Go ahead. Okay. Well, we're going to we're going to try >> You were right way obvious. >> We're going to try this again. >> Okay. >> Take a deep breath for me, okay? We're going to figure out what's going on, but you Next time when I tell you to step out, you don't go against what I'm telling you cuz I'm here to >> What do I do? >> That's what I'm here for. I'm here to help you. But you need >> help me. >> Well, I've never dealt with you before. >> I know. >> So >> I know. >> Don't think that every cop is the same. I'm here to figure out what's going on so I can better fix your so I can provide you with the solution to the problem, okay? >> Okay. >> Let's go to my car. We'll get you an ambulance and then we'll we'll go from there. >> I don't need an ambulance. I'm good. I'm good. Let's just go right now. >> Well, let's we'll talk about let's go talk about what happened first. We're going to go to my car, okay? Come on. >> Okay. >> What's your name? >> Am I supposed to give you my name? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Sheila. >> Sheila what? >> Am I supposed to give you my full name? >> Yes. 01 cross better run now. Sheila Do you have any weapons on you, Sheila? No? >> No. >> All right. What's going on today? Why were we called here? >> I don't know. >> You don't know why we were called here? In a verbal altercation with this with with this other female that we just walked by. Do you do you recall any of that? >> Yeah. >> You do? Okay, do you want to tell me a little bit about that? >> Yeah. >> You don't? >> Okay. >> As the officers continued to pressure Sheila for an answer, one thought dominated her in She would respond on her own terms. And if things escalated, she believed that as a solicitor, she could handle herself. >> Do you live here at these apartments? Do you live at these apartments, Sheila? Do you not want to talk right now? >> I'm trying to listen. >> You're trying to listen? Well, let me help you. You need to try your best to answer my questions so I can figure out what's going on. Does anybody else stay with you in the apartment that you were at? Was that even your apartment? Sit down for a Take a seat. Watch your feet. Put your feet inside. >> After placing her in the back of the police cruiser, the officers turned to the couple who had made the initial report. Somehow they had expected to hear one of these routine accounts of a domestic incident between neighbors, but they were going to be met with a set of deeply disturbing details that were far from ordinary. >> Do you have a What's your name at? I'm sorry? >> She was just I was minding my business and minding my business I was walking whatever in these shoes. Came right here and she's like, "What is your car where you going?" All this and I said, "I have to get my son and stuff." And And then she left and stuff and then I went inside and put my son's stuff in there cuz they look like I just felt in my gut like she was looking for something or >> Yeah. >> something not wrong or she parked or something and >> Okay. So She was saying that? Okay. >> She was trying to fight her. >> she like this, bro. She like this. She like >> She even tried to open it twice. >> Oh. >> She not letting me right now, but I had a lot like it's not take like >> Okay. >> And then she comes over here, bro. >> Try to get inside my house. >> She tried going inside the house, bro. I don't know why. Just get to keep that. I would say it wrong with the car. >> Pregnant and she got me. >> Okay. >> I had to like >> Did she like raise her hand like she was going to hit you at all or anything or >> No, but I I kept telling him, "Please go. I You go over there or you take off somewhere, please. I go do something. >> She rushed at him. >> She rushed at him more than me. >> Okay. >> And I screamed at her and told her that I'm pregnant. I shouldn't be doing screaming, stressing, anything like that. >> were you doing? You were just cleaning out the vehicle? >> I was cleaning my car with my kids, too. >> To [music] to go to go to go to go get your son. And she came right here and was like Okay. She needed a car for her baby. >> She needed a car, basically. >> Okay. >> I seen her a couple days back that she had a newborn baby. >> live in that apartment that I found her at or no? >> Oh, he said >> Well, last Yeah, I suppose I I think so cuz like like last time I went to go wash she she she was talking to me and she tried talking to me, but she was gone, bro. She can't talk to me right. And she had a newborn baby there, bro. That's what tripped me out. She had a newborn baby. And then she had a newborn baby. Uh-huh, and I told her what what I saw you last time with a newborn baby. She was doing all that and all that. What's your baby? What your baby is like, "All right, that's why I need a car. I need to go get my baby." >> Upon hearing this detail, the officers became concerned about the welfare of Sheila's kids and decided to search her apartment. What they didn't know, however, was that the search was about to reveal the very real reason behind Sheila's [music] egotistical attitude. >> She has kids, so >> Yeah. >> Let's just make sure they're not like hurt in here or something. Yeah, she has pictures of kids right here on her [snorts] fridge. >> Yeah, I don't see like a crib or like nothing. Anything that would suggest she's in the home with her. >> This place is a mess, dude. I think she's an attorney. Yeah. Criminal justice, Sheila Moynihan, Sheila Jones. Juris doctor, this attorney's Oh, both is over there. Elizabeth Kerr, clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit do hereby certify that Sheila Carlsbad, New Mexico being duly qualified was admitted as an attorney and counselor of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. >> Meanwhile, sitting inside the police cruiser appeared to be deflating [music] Sheila's ego. Just when it seemed like the reality became too difficult to handle, she lost it completely. >> I'm not going to just trust everybody because that's ridiculous. It's ridiculous and I'll give >> [laughter] >> Baby, why do I have to do this to them? Baby, I just want my baby. I know. I know I love baby. That's how life's always been. I can't just do what everyone tells you to do because then it won't work out. I'll be always like, "Why don't you listen to people when that's the Look at the quality and caliber of people around me." >> Back at the couple's residence, officers continued listening as the details of Sheila's actions unfolded. At first, they immediately assumed she might not be mentally stable. However, upon learning that she was an attorney, it began to dawn on them that she may have been [music] attempting to use her position to intimidate the couple. >> Well, at first, she rushed into the house. She ran into the house like trying to get into the house. >> Did she make it inside or >> She made it to the doorbell but I wanted to see how far she was going to take you know cuz like I was going to see what was up. So, she she did get to the doorbell. She touched the doorbell and then I put I started pushing her away from the door. I pushed her over here. I told her move go over there go over there and then she tried coming into the car again and then she was saying she was saying I need a car. >> You felt like she was going to hit you like >> Yeah, she said it. She was like I'm going to have to I'm going to have to I always she said it. She said it. She was like I'm going to have to I'm going to have to fight against you. I'm going to have to fight against both of you. And I was just like damn this really like look at this girl. Girl, wasn't she saying that she was going to like take on both of us? >> Yeah, she was saying that. >> And I and then she left. She was like I'm she said I need a weapon or something. I need something. >> Do we run this 28 already? When she gets released, she's not going to be able to come anywhere near you guys because you guys are victims of of the crimes that she's committed, okay? So, it's called the conditions of release. The judge is going to sign not to she can't have any contact with you guys. If you guys still feel like you're in in fear for your safety, like you feel like she's going to come back, retaliate, she's going to cause more issues for you, especially with you being pregnant, I I highly recommend going and getting a restraining order. >> After listening to the couple, they turned to Sheila again. That was the officer giving her another chance to tell them her own side of the story. But instead of taking it, she decided to show them how conceited a lawyer she could be. >> You're all right? >> Not really. >> No? >> I'd like to be out of these cuffs. Can you please uncuff me? >> No, ma'am. So, at this point on like yeah, like I said you're under arrest for resisting, okay? >> Why do you in the I need to [music] talk to Okay. >> What I was going >> help speaking with the people that are protecting me. Can you help me talk to the people that are protecting me? >> We can talk about that, yes ma'am, but >> Can you I am okay. Now >> But first let me finish up let me let me finish what I'm doing, okay? Cuz I tried to talk to you a minute ago and you just you're may you You say anything, which is which is fine. But now I need to ask you some questions pertaining to the sensitive area. But before I do that, I'm going to read you your rights. With these rights in mind, [music] do you wish to answer my questions? Or do you want to do you want to use your rights and remain silent? >> With the people I would like to keep talking to the people that are protecting me, so I can see if they would like me to answer questions. I don't think they want me to answer questions. >> No? Well, at the end of the day it's at the end of the day it's it's your decision. Because you're the one that you're you're the defendant in this in this incident here. You're the one that's being placed under arrest for these alleged crimes, so you don't want to answer questions. That's fine. So at this point now, like I said, you are under arrest. We're going to take you down to the Carlsbad Medical Center so we can get you medically cleared because we did have a little use of force with you cuz you were refusing to cooperate. So we'll check you out, make sure you're not hurt, and then we'll take you down to the Eddy County Detention Center, okay? And then if you want to talk a little more about who's protecting you, I can I can talk to you about that. [music] Let me ask you one question if you don't mind. Do you have children? >> Yes. >> Any juvenile children that are in your care? >> Do you have any juvenile children in >> In your care, [music] yes, ma'am. Anybody that you care for at this time? >> That's like physically in my custody and care of >> Yes, ma'am. Okay. Do you have like a newborn baby or any children that you're caring for recently? >> How many kids do you have? What do you say to make sure that they're safe and they're okay? >> Cuz we're being told that you have that you've been seen with children. We just want to make sure that that they're in that they're in good hands. >> Do you know how many kids you have? Or who's watching them? You can just give me a name. Is it a family member? Is it CYFD? Ultimately, if you refuse to answer these questions and something happened, it's going to be on you, not on us. Cuz you're refusing to answer our questions. We just need to make sure that they're being taken care of at this point. All right, we're going to get out of here, okay? Watch your feet. Told you she didn't want to talk. Hey, Sheila. Where's Mecha right now? What What do you got to know? All right, we can take care of her. Is Mecha with Mikey? You don't know where she's at? I still got Mikey's number. I can call him and ask him, but I would like to hear from you where she's at. >> After I failed attempt to get her to talk to them, they decided to take her to the hospital where she was medically examined. >> Okay, Sheila, we're at the hospital now. We're going to go inside. They're going to check you out, make sure you're not hurt, and then um and then we'll go from there, okay? We'll try to get you some slippers or something so you're not If you want to, I I don't want you stepping on a sticker or something. We're going to go through here. Have you ever been here before? She didn't want to answer any of my questions, either, so. >> Do you know anything about her? >> I don't, to be honest with you. Do you need something? You can't Hold on, you can't go anywhere. Sit down. >> She was later charged with resisting arrest. The next case takes us to Darien, Illinois, where 44-year-old Uzma Shamsi resorted to hitting a cop after a failed attempt to lawyer her way out of a pilfering situation. >> I'm not a young spring chicken. >> But you have to understand, we're your >> an attorney. >> And she was putting some stuff inside the plastic bag. Okay, and what is it? It's uh looks like something from bakery. >> I went to law school. >> Then I guess we need to follow you to the >> don't know where you went to the academy. >> On February the 12th, 2026, 44-year-old Uzma Shamsi, a Yale Law graduate, walked into a Walmart store, but instead of shopping like every other customer, she decided to treat the aisles like her personal buffet by helping herself to dog toys and brownie items. Unknown to her, the store's surveillance system was an unblinking eye that was about to bring her five-finger discount performance to an abrupt, shameful end. When loss prevention officers realized that she was about to leave the store without paying for the merchandise, they immediately called the police. >> The nacho chips and dessert for my kids' party. >> Give me your just give me your hands, all right? That's fine. Thank you. Passport? >> Nothing. He's like I have all my receipts. He's like Oh, we have to go to the office and verify. >> Okay. What happened? >> Look, my cards are here. >> Okay, I got it. Do you have your driver's license first off, so I know who I'm talking to? >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> But look at me. >> We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. >> But okay, I have to go pick up my son. >> Okay, well, right now we have to deal with this. >> No, I have to go pick up my son. I will leave the car. >> I need your driver's license. >> I'm leaving the car. >> Hello? Hello? You're not free to go right now. I need your driver's license. >> I am free to go. >> No, you're not. >> Yeah, because I will leave the car. >> No, you're not because we're investigating. >> enough money that I can leave the car. >> Okay. >> I don't give a care about chips and >> I get it. Okay. You need to calm down. >> I don't care about groceries. >> Okay. Okay. My It's license is in the car. And I'm like, where did I park? >> Okay. >> So, what I can give you is my passport card.

You got a warrant. >> I know I do. It's for not showing up to court for a traffic ticket. I can show up. >> We'll We'll know. One of two things can happen with a warrant then. We if it's I can I bond you on it if they're okay with that and that's what they do when DuPage County puts out a warrant or you have to get taken to DuPage County to process. >> No, I've [music] already spoken with >> I'm going off of what I'm just telling you what my dispatchers are telling me. They're confirming it. They're talking with DuPage County about it. I understand. We have that happen all the time, but you got to go to court. >> I know. [music] Uh I have a date set. >> Then that's why they're confirming it. This is Well, this is why we take these steps to confirm the warrant, but it's been issued. So, something's been signed by a judge for you. So, >> Yeah, a judge named Aaron. I'm friends with him. >> Okay. Do you remember what time you were at the customer service? >> This is so ridiculous. I'm grocery shopping. >> Is it on the receipt? Did she have a receipt at all? >> No, she can't locate the receipt.

It's not >> Walmart and I uh remedy this? >> We can, but just we want to verify everything is everything is inside your shopping That's the best. >> Okay. So, how would I correct this in your eyes? >> Yeah. >> Would it make you happy if I double pay for it? >> I will not make you double pay if I locate the things. >> I stopped at a law. You are literally keeping me from getting my child. >> No, you ma'am, you can go to >> At this point, your warrant is >> What? >> You have a warrant. I just explained that. >> Yeah, for not going to court. >> Yeah, it's a failure to appear warrant, which means you didn't go to court and now you have to either A, B, I bonded it right now on the street with us, pre-trial release, thank you, or you have to go to DuPage County and get processed. >> We're finding that out now, so >> It's It's one of two things that happened here. There was a warrant issued for your arrest. >> Uh I already took care of it. No, it's taken care of. >> Where did you take care of it at? >> With the judge. I have a quash. >> Whether the officers could finally see through Shamsi's [music] antics or not was the least of her concerns. In her mind, she was well connected to powerful circles and she believed that those ties would soon come to her rescue. Or so she thought. >> Okay, where's your paperwork? >> Not on me, but there was >> to carry that paperwork with you, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> But it's not >> All right. You don't have it, right? That's the problem. It's in the system showing that you have one. So, that's what we're checking right now.

Judge Gearing, Daniel Gearing. >> Oh, okay. >> Well, now you're being evaluated on a no-bond. You have to You want to do DuPage County. So, we can arrange this.

You could have cooperated with them from the beginning and we might not even be here. But we're here now. >> Like >> Okay, but listen. We're here now.

While Shamsi got slammed with multiple charges, Paul Correa, a former Cochise County Chief Civil Deputy Attorney in Arizona, kissed his job goodbye after his conduct led to serious criminal allegations. >> You think that I was >> [snorts] >> in the in the store recording his daughter with my phone? That's not true. Are you an attorney or are you a paralegal or >> Yeah, I'm only Chief Civil Deputy Attorney. >> Okay. >> I can pull my door open. He's breaking the law. If I had a firearm, my firearm would be right now. I would shoot the guy. >> On December the 17th, 2025, officers from the Sierra Vista Police Department received a call from a Target employee reporting [music] a vehicle blocking another in the store's parking lot. Upon arrival, they began questioning one of the drivers, later identified as Paul Correa. Unaware that they were stepping into the center of a serious allegation that would soon place a well-known attorney under [music] intense criminal scrutiny. >> All right, how are you [snorts] doing? >> All right, how are you? >> Take your hands out of your pocket. Something around your waist. Can I come around to your car? >> Sure. >> What's your name? >> My name is Paul Correa. >> Okay, have a seat right here. >> All right, I prefer not to sit. >> Okay, Paul. Yeah, lean up against your car. >> Why? >> Because I'm telling you to. >> Okay. >> Or you can do it that way or you can go have a seat in the back of my car. So, I'm trying to I don't know what's going on. So, lean up against your car with your butt with your butt and just try to sit relax for a minute while I figure out what's going on. All right, watch him. Cuz I'm the only guy here. I don't know what the hell is going on. >> Sorry. >> So, what what's the issue today? >> He thinks >> So, both of you are now parties to a separate incident, but you were together earlier. >> Well, he can give you a statement. >> He says he's not self-aware. Okay. >> He's confused. He's angry. >> Um what's he confused or angry or what does he think he saw? >> He thinks that I was uh in the in the store recording his daughter with my iPhone. That's not true. It's absolutely not true. >> Okay. How did this transpire to now in the parking lot? People are blocking each other. >> I was sitting here calling my son to say the pizza place is frozen there. So, what do you want to eat? >> Okay. >> And then all of a sudden he's banging on the door telling me, you know, I don't know what he's just banging on the door real hard. >> Okay. What's he saying? >> I think he was saying everything incomprehensibly. So, it's like uh I think he was telling me to come out of the car. >> What did you argue? >> He didn't really say he was. >> Was there some kind of altercation in the store? >> Yeah, absolutely not. >> Do you have an ID on you? >> Yeah. Here you go. >> Thanks. >> He's still No, I think he was dizzy. >> What's that? >> I think he was dizzy earlier. >> He was dizzy? Is this your car? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's a good address for you in Bixby? So, you're here shopping? >> Yeah. >> Did you buy anything? >> Yes. >> What did you buy? >> [snorts] >> A bunch of chocolate balls and stuff that's for an office party tomorrow. >> Okay. Where do you work? >> I work at the Tulsa County Attorney's Office. >> Oh, okay. What's a good telephone number for you? Are you an attorney? Are you a paralegal or is this >> Yeah, I'm the Chief Civil Deputy County attorney. >> Okay. >> This guy's got me completely wrong. I understand I'd be upset, too. >> When the officers learned who he was, they chose to tread carefully, aware that the allegation carried significant weight given his position. Yet, as they were still weighing their approach, Correa suddenly blurted out words that caught them [music] completely off guard. >> There's no altercation, there's no contact between you guys in the store. >> Um but at what point did he tell you or did you hear an allegation that he thought you were filming his daughter? >> He came banging on my window. >> Just now? >> I I've been sitting here for a minute, like uh trying to figure out what to do for dinner [snorts] >> Okay. >> with my kids. >> Um he says I'm in your in my car and like I don't know where he gets that. >> Okay. >> Like >> All right. Um >> [snorts] >> as far as you know, um did did you see him in the store with his daughter >> I don't know who he is. The first time The first time you hear of anything is right here at the car he's banging on your window. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. I think I'm going to tell my partner Officer Thompson first. Let me go talk to him and get his side of the story. Obviously, [snorts] until we're done here, you're not free to go. >> Right. So, I'm trying to >> There's no physical altercation between you and him or anything in the parking lot here. It's just he's banging >> Well, I I tried to close my door. He He prevented me from closing my door, told me I was breaking the law. >> Okay. Well, I'll go talk to him. >> pulled my door open. He's breaking the law. If I had a firearm and my firearm was here right now, I would shoot the guy. >> After speaking with the attorney, the officers turned to the victim's father. He explained that he had rushed to the store after receiving a distressing call from his daughter. He reported that a man was filming her. Upon arriving at the parking lot, he said he witnessed Correa engaged in conduct so inappropriate that it left little room for doubt as he remained fixated on a video playing on his phone. At this point, Correa was still insistent on his innocence, so they decided to take a look at the store's surveillance cameras that captured Korea [music] intentionally walking past and recording two young girls during his 40-minute trip to Target. With sufficient evidence in hand, the former deputy attorney was arrested and charged with harassment by surveillance, public [music] indecency, and tampering with physical evidence. He was remanded to the Graham County Jail on a $25,000 cash-only bond and was subsequently dismissed from his position. Unlike other Karen lawyers who tried to legally maneuver their way out of the wrong side of the law, this immigration lawyer thought she had an honest excuse to shoplift from a grocery store. >> One from July 29th, and then the other one >> are the only two we're addressing today. >> Right. You literally just walked out the door with a thousand dollars of merchandise. >> I'm going through something. >> I'm just going through something. I did not mean to shoplift. >> On August the 10th, 2022, Florida officers received a call from a local Target store reporting a shoplifting incident in progress. They rushed to the scene, arriving just in time to intercept the suspect as she was on the verge of slipping away. After stopping her and securing her at the back of their vehicle, they turned to the loss prevention officers, only to find themselves on the edge of a revelation that would send a chill through the entire situation. >> One from July 29th, and then the other one >> are the only two we're addressing today. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Um if you want to just proceed with this one right now, the one from today, we can. If you want to wait for the statement from this one >> Uh it doesn't matter >> which I previously done. >> If you have that together, I'll I'll take them both. >> I just have the intake >> You witnessed everything? Saw it? Saw her? >> This. >> Okay. Okay. So, yeah, if you want Right. >> The other one, I have clear as day footage of her not even touching a checklane. She didn't pay for anything in that. >> Well, you know, if you like to, if you want to come out with me, we'll talk to her. Or if if you like to speak to her at any time, you're more than welcome to. She's requesting that. We'll do the trespassing and everything. If you want to ask her about the other day or or she'll ask you. she'll say something to you. All right. >> Hey, how's it going? >> You stay in there. >> Can I please talk to you? >> Yeah, yeah, I'm here to talk. So, just before we even start, in order for me to even be able to call the police or do anything like this, make any type of detainment, I have to have a full investigation of information that has no wiggle room, okay? So, um when you were here on the 29th, I also know you were here yesterday and you did absolutely nothing. I watched you the whole time that you were here. >> I was not. >> You were here. I have your plate. I have pictures of your plates. I have movements the entire time you're in the store, but on the 29th when you were here of July, um and you made these selections of the LOL supply of the LOL dolls and things along those lines, um so the the footage that I have is of your doppelganger. It's not of you. >> No, I didn't say that. >> Okay. >> I'm definitely I can't recall being here yesterday. >> That's fine. >> That was the photo I showed you also. You identified as being yourself, too. >> Definitely me. >> Okay. >> I'm more than willing to pay everything that you have and I'm just not in the right state of mind. I've gone through a procedure and I'm on some medication. You can check my >> Yeah, I'm I'm really sorry. Um on so, in regards to the making of the payments, I'm not trying to be mean about this, right? Unfortunately, at this point it has to go through court proceedings, right? Um however, if you're not feeling well and things along those lines, please let them know because there are resources that are available for you and things like that, right? Um just be honest about everything because that's what's going to indicate what's going to happen moving forward. So, saying that maybe you weren't here that you didn't do these things, it's I have I have I have footage of them. >> I know how it sounds and I have not denied that I have been here, but like when you said I was here yesterday, I can't even recall being here. >> Not yesterday, though. >> I'm perfectly honest with you. >> The 29th. She she was here yesterday. She She just didn't do anything. I was just using that in this. You parked in almost in You parked right over there. You walked in the store, looked at kids shoes, walked around the store for a literal minute and a half and then exited the store again. >> With the weight of evidence closing in on her from all sides, she knew that there was no way left to hide. Sorry, she began searching for a way to slip through the cracks and wriggle free of the situation. >> And that's that's perfectly fine. If you don't remember that, then I would suggest that you let somebody know that. >> I really really would appreciate if I can go ahead and pay for all the losses that you guys have had because of my situation and if we don't take it to the jail, I have four children and I'm I'm really sorry that I've caused this. >> Yeah. >> But I'm more than happy to just pay the loss and whatever fine I have to pay and not having to deal with jail or anything because my situation like because of my situation's probably going to get even worse. And if there is a way to settle this, I would really really appreciate it. >> Unfortunately, that the best way that this is going to get paid is through restitution at this point. There will be an opportunity for you to pay it back and maybe some type of closure on the case through that, but um prior incidents and you literally just walked out the door with a thousand dollars of merchandise today. All right. >> So, before we talk, I just need to read you your rights, okay? So, you understand what's going on today. We got the call. >> Yeah. I'm just going through something. I did not mean to shoplift. I totally realize that I didn't bring my purse. I was coming in here and I was going to go back and have someone come in and help me out and pay for everything and I'm I'm more than happy to pay for it. >> How many items did you bring with you? >> I don't even know. I'm not in the right state of my mind. I'm >> Okay. >> just recently lost >> So, obviously there's several large I mean, what what did you grab that you remember from the store? >> I remember I brought a large box and >> another large box. >> Okay, two large boxes? Okay. >> I recently lost my aunt from COVID and >> I'm sorry to hear >> I just realized that I just came in and uh I didn't pay for it all together. I I just realized that I need to have someone come and help me and I was just on the phone and have someone come and pay. >> Help you pay for everything you just took out of the store and loaded up? Okay. >> Would you please let me go and pay? >> Okay, obviously some of those items on the back seat belong to Target. I have a Target employee here. All right, if you're all right, I'm going to have them retrieve their items in the back. Is it the back seat? Are you okay with me retrieving Target's items? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. Yep, hold on one second, we're going to get you. For a fleeting moment, the officers were almost convinced she was telling the truth and that [music] she genuinely needed help. But as they turned to sift through the stolen items, it became clear [music] that she had been playing them. >> She said she's just gone through a hard time and she totally forgot to pay. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Obviously, how how much of this is >> This is all us. >> She's already given me permission to go in there and and retrieve anything that belongs to Target anyway, so Yep. Uh so, we'll verify what's yours and before you put anything [music] up, I'll need to get photographs and and all that as well. Okay. So, I'm assuming if you want to tell me yay or nay, I'm assuming yes. >> Absolutely, this is not mine, that's her personal belongings. >> right now. >> of our brand. >> that up on the front for right now. >> This is also ours. This is also ours. >> So, everything in here is yours? >> Yes, this is all us. >> Okay. >> Very consistent with the stuff that she's previously stolen as well. That's all us. That's all our brand. I don't even sell it anywhere else. >> She's She's an entire car full. >> Yes. Yes. Purse in hand. Yes. >> If you're good on this, I can inventory and you can go do your thing if >> Thank you. >> I'm assuming Yeah, we need a couple of them. They will not take her medications. Leave that here. See if she wants to bring her purse. We'll have to get a contact for somebody. Who said? That's a lot of stuff, not just a couple boxes. >> I know. >> That's like a couple shopping carts full. >> I know. >> How many trips [music] did you make today? >> Just one trip. >> That's all that's in there? That's a full cart. Okay. Well, the Here's the deal. The store wants to prosecute, okay? So, they wish to prosecute, so you are under arrest for retail theft, okay? Your purse is in there. They can't take medications into the jail or anything like that. Do you want your purse with you? >> Yes. >> You have your ID in your purse? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. So, I'm going to bring the purse back and then I'll get the ID out. I have to make sure there's no weapons or anything inside. Hm? >> My children are in the car. >> Are they? Um father, anybody we can call about the car? Oh, well, okay. We'll get that information in just a moment. >> She was later charged with grand theft and placed on 3 months probation. Those Florida officers did a solid job bringing that immigration lawyer down [music] to size, but they were nothing compared to the zero tolerance Tulsa officers who reminded Oklahoma politician Senator Regina Goodwin that the law respects no title after she was found in violation of a traffic regulation. >> I need your driver's license. >> I did not run it. >> I need your driver's license. >> I pulled away somewhere and and and you talked right wrong. Give me a ticket and all that. >> I need your driver's license, ma'am. >> You are not going to arrest me when I did not I stopped the stop sign and you have the audacity you want to arrest me. >> I'm attorney Mike. >> Yeah, you might want to start talking. >> What if I just paid the ticket? >> You'll have to do that through the courts. >> Okay, explain that to me. >> On January the 11th, 2025, Tulsa County Deputy Freddy Alanis initiated a traffic stop after a vehicle ran two stop signs near East Archer Street. [music] But as he approached it dawned upon him that the driver was none other than Senator Regina Goodwin, a lady who believed following the law was optional. >> Cuz you ran two stop signs and you're going to get a citation today. >> I did not stop at two stop signs. >> I I was behind you, ma'am. You didn't You didn't even come to a complete stop. >> I did not stop at two stop signs, sir. >> This stop sign right here? You >> I did not I did not >> I need your driver's license. >> I did not run it. >> I need your driver's >> I pulled away somewhere and and and you talked right wrong.

Yes, you did. >> And why you doing all this? Like you >> I need your driver's license. >> Mr. Alanis >> I'm fixing my vest.

I need your driver's license. >> No, but you're not telling the truth. I did not run two stop signs. >> the truth. Yes, you did run two stop signs. You didn't come to a complete stop at this stop sign here and you didn't come to a complete stop on the other stop sign. No, you did not come to a stop. >> You said I did not come to a complete stop. >> You slowed down. You did not come to a stop. >> Huh? >> You slowed down. You did not even come to a stop. >> the stop sign. >> You slowed down. >> Uh-huh. >> State statute is you must come to a complete full stop. >> Okay.

Can I get your driver's license or can I take you to jail on running a stop sign? I'm not going to ask you again. It's not for debate. >> Are you saying you're going to take me to jail for running a stop sign that I did not run? >> You ran I need your driver's license. >> No, no, Mr. Officer, I did not >> your driver's license. I'm not going to ask again.

[music] But despite her attitude, the deputy remained polite, calmly requesting her ID while hoping that she was going to be reasonable enough to comply. >> I need your driver's license. >> Do what you got to do. >> Okay, turn around. >> You're saying you're going to arrest me? >> Yep, turn around. >> Okay. Okay, you're going to arrest me and I did not run a stop sign. >> Relax for me. Relax. Relax. Relax your hands. Yeah, relax them. Relax. >> relaxed, sir. >> No, you're not relaxed. >> I am relaxed.

Yes, you That's why I asked, "Why would you arrest me?" >> I said, "If you don't give me your driver's license." >> was not it. It was not It was no. I said I said I said, "Why would you arrest me?" is what I said. >> Because you're refusing to give me your driver's license. >> no, no. I >> Have a seat.

What I asked you was, "Why?" >> Give me your driver's license. >> would you arrest me for this?" is what I said.

Uh she blatantly ran two stop signs, and I was just going to give her a verbal warning and tell her not to do that, but she her demeanor, the way that she was I can't have that. I'm the one in control of the traffic stop, not her. >> I understand. >> I don't If I If >> And I'm not I'm not saying >> allow other people to do that when I do a traffic stop, I'm not going to allow her, either. Does that make sense? >> I understand. >> Uh I know that people get a little >> Yeah. >> little wound up when they get pulled over by the police. They don't like it. Um And it And I try not to escalate the things that way they don't need to go. >> Okay. >> So, yeah, let let me let me get it figured out with her, okay? Uh Michael Manning, yeah.

Yeah, can we just give the ID? Give the driver's license. Take a deep breath. And everything and then let's let's go from there.
