Um And then again, I was like, "You're not free to leave. You need to stop." It's like, "Hey, you're being detained." And then grabbed her arms. She wasn't stopping for me. And then she kind of just followed up, but it was more we were at the wall, so I just kind of held her against the wall until she complied. Held her against the wall? That the corner wall right over there where my car is at, yeah. So it was a struggle? Yeah, but it was it was more just kind of control holds, uh not complying at first. continued to push the cart?
