where did it go after that I brought his belongings back in here and I placed them on the desk okay and you haven't seen it since the last time I saw his wallet sir it was sitting on the desk here yesterday that's the that's the last time I saw it okay because I'm being told something different all right and there's cameras that show us something different okay okay so either the camera's lying

asking me things that I could not answer show the first one please okay I mean honestly at this point I really don't care about the phone conversation that you have with him I care more about what this video footage is showing well I don't have his wallet sir okay if I did I would have given it back to him but but I don't have it and where did it go sir you're asking me a question I can't answer okay here's all three on my phone I'll bring it up one at a time I want to see Blaze I want to see the first one first one and then the second one when everything goes out and then number three okay so from the time dat walked into the office David you are aware we have cameras everywhere right 11 yes sir I'm aware of that okay that's his wallet right there okay so why you putting a shirt on top of it well I went to carry them out to them hold on hold on watch this what are you doing I'm looking to see whose wallet it is that one you stick the wallet back under the shirt is that your shirt no sir I was wearing my shirt okay whose shirt is that then that saach shirt I picked it up and I went to take it to him with his hat and his earbuds that were left here okay I then walked outside I said is Zach still here no I turned around and I came back so you came back in here immediately afterwards and you I went into the room to see if he was there the next room and then I came back okay and then where did you put it from there I put I put it belongs right back here right back here okay put something in your pocket yes you did it was my phone sir is that showing wallet your phone wasn't in your hand when you walked in there just the stuff was listen David you want the wallet back do you know where it's at I do not have the wallet sir video shows different the video does not show me putting up okay first of all I don't need his wallet I have two jobs I'm not going to steal his wallet I don't have his wallet he was he lost his wallet last week ask any of the employees we're not talking about last week we're talking about yesterday my phone in my pockets for let me let me let me point something out when you were over there when you were behind that thing over there yeah you were reaching in your left pocket you just pulled your phone out of your right pocket I don't so that means I stole a wallet well you're depriving him of his property right now you lost one listen listen you're depriving him of his property you were the last one to have it and now no longer can it be found so that's why we're coming to you where is the wallet officer I do not have David David this is our biggest concern right now okay if you threw the wallet in the trash somewhere you just have to let us know so we can tell him that to to put holds on his credit cards put holds on his social security card and all that stuff that's the most important thing right now so if you're threw in the trash just tell us where just tell us yes or no if you thre in the trash so we can tell you sir look up my record I don't care about I don't care about your record you are a thief you stole it and we saw it so you're going to go to jail if if you don't cooperate with us do you understand that I will take you to county jail for 150 bucks I don't care I get paid the same way so you tell me where it's at we're not going to play this game anymore we're not going to go back and forth talk about last week I don't give a I want to know where the wallet is and if you don't tell me where it is you go to County Jail it's very simple so did you throw the wallet away or not be a man be a man and be honest did you throw it away yes or no don't look around I'm asking you ask no question no you're you're saying that you saw me for something in my pocket but you didn't see the w stand stand wait I didn't throw it out stand up I'm not playing this game with you just back and forth can I have my phone in my wallet can you bring that with sir yeah we'll figure all that out I did not steal his wallet yes you did shows different the video shows you look if you took the look if you left it at your house threw it away whatever and you took the cash that's fine but he's got some valuable stuff in there driver's license credit cards passports passports soci security card stuff that you don't need but that's important to him and that's that he needs to have just come clean I do not have his wallet you may have thrown it away I don't care if you have it or not where did you get rid of it I didn't throw it out I didn't have it on my person I you're what you're saying is probably true you don't have it on your person you didn't you don't have the wallet anymore I get y because you had it at some point now it's gone where is it where' you throw it away at I did not throw it away I did not have it okay so what' you do with you let's be honest what' you do with I don't you're going to arrest me over something I didn't do I have no reason to steal his wallet I have two jobs I make my own money I have my own credit cards I'm not going to mess with Zach I'm not going to mess with him I've been exemplary employee here I've never missed a day I've never been late I have no reason to steal his wallet so where is it so where is it if you didn't steal it where is it where did it magically go it disappeared into the sh I don't know he's lost it last week he lost his headphones yesterday David you watched the video with his wallet right here you put a shirt on it grabbed the shirt went into a back room and came back and now the wallet's gone you understand how that looks right I understand how you were the last person to have possession of the wallet the Waller is no longer here you said you went in that back room to look for him and that video okay listen that video doesn't show you looking for somebody that video shows you walking behind something putting something in your pocket and immediately walk back out that's not looking for somebody that's looking to get out of a camera where nobody's going to be at no one's going to see you you're going to turn a misdemeanor a really silly misdemeanor into something way bigger than it has to be because you just won't be a man to be honest with yourself and be honest with us you took you took the wallet you took the wallet we're not talking you didn't rob a bank you didn't kill somebody you took a wallet we're trying to help this man make sure that his his personal items get returned to him or at least let him know that they're missing for sure so that he can do what he has to do in order to get the new stuff back he needs his ID he needs his password he needs all these things would you like to search my vehicle I don't have it would you like to search my vehicle I understand you don't have it that's why I'm asking you where did you get rid of it at I don't want to parade you through here in handcuffs but you already have you Liv we're we're in a private room right now you're leaving me no choice at this point just just just be honest what did you do with the wallet I can't believe this either way if if I tell you I have it I'm lying if I tell you I don't have it I'm live so right now you feel like you're so deep in it that you have to continue to Alive because you're taking it this far I'm telling you right now you don't you don't have to keep lying about it because either way even if we we don't find the wallet you're still going to go jail for what for sto you deprived him of his property it is not your property to be walking and parading around the business to look for him if you see his wallet here and he left you have his phone number why wouldn't you just call say hey your wallet's still here why did you feel the need to pick it up and and walk it around you deprived them of his property the way the statute reads you deprive somebody of their property temporarily or permanently you just committed effect which is what you did all right so if you get the wallet back it's a misdemeanor yes and then what happens and then we give you a notice to appear and you can talk to a judge about it and then you go you go home we take your handcuffs off I give you a piece of paper you go home okay can you take these off I will take you to the wallet okay tell me where it's at first cuz that's not how this is going to work you're not going to dictate how we control this hold on all right so tell me where it is we can confirm it and I will take those off of you it's across the street in a storage room okay where which storage unit the one right over here yep is it your storage unit yep okay why is it over there that's where I put it okay so are we able to get into that storage unit to get it out from it is there cash still in there no okay have you taken anything else out of the wallet no okay so you have a storage unit directly right over here yeah okay and you're giving us authorization to get that so we can go over there get the wallet I don't care about what else is in there I just want that wallet we'll shut it lock it do what everything we give you keys back all that we just want to get the property back to him that's fine we can do that so the key for the storage unit's in your car yes where's your car at it's in the parking lot of Edwin wats okay what kind of car is it it's a Nissan uh Frontier truck okay is the key for this ge on your car keys no sir it's separate key inside the car yes okay where your keys at right now your car on my belt okay this key right here yes okay all right and the storage units in your name yes okay you want to check it out yeah if you don't M what color is your it's white white right here so everything you told us before was a lot yes okay why I took it to make him crazy why why do you want to do that to him because he makes me crazy okay so if you guys have issues in the past I always have issues with them okay and then so basically what happened is when you go in that back room you were putting it in your pocket weren't you yes okay and then what did you do after that I took it to my storage when you got off work yep what time did you get off work 204 205 okay and then you walked it over there yep well I might have D oh whatever you went over there immediately after you got off work and put it in there okay and you said the cash is not in there where's the cash I don't take any cash out of it so there should be cash in it then I didn't take anything out of it okay that's what I'm just saying he's saying he said there was $800 in it okay well that's not what he told me well wait ask ask place say there was $800 in it okay what do you say what was in it I I don't I don't remember I'd have to look at my notepad but he said that there was some cash in it so if you didn't take anything out of it then it should still be in there theoretically correct I don't know what he did I I I'm asking you because he's saying that I did not take any cash I went over there and I put it in my thing we have video a little earlier M him opening up his W counting his cash and then in the video you can see open it up and you can see this cash in the B that one video okay so there was Cash in that ball okay well he told me and Blaze there was 800 in there I did not take any cash out he told me 165 earlier today so we'll confirm that but there was definitely cash in the wall you not tell us both there was $800 in there I'm so he this all started because you guys were having issues you said he was driving you crazy so you did this ultimately as like a payback to get him yeah okay what was your a prank on him okay so let me ask you what was your intention how long were you planning on keeping it were you planning on giving it back I was going to give it back to him today okay is he supposed to work today yep okay all right well like I said it's it's a simple is once we can confirm that we get that back I'll give you a piece of paper it'll have a court date on it and then you get to go home okay y have you done anything like this in the past pulled pranks on people yet no still you can call it a prank but at the end of the day it's it's you're more than welcome to look at my record okay well I mean I'm going to because I have to write a report so it'll show me I was just curious but if if that's what it was to you as a prank then ultimately it's it's it's not a good prank because it is the okay you deprived him of his property and he wants it back so so you never joke around and HD somebody key keys on them or anything else before you were a police officer you never pulled a prank on anybody I pull pranks on people all the time but there's a difference you said that you have issues with him so I'm not pulling pranks like that on people that I don't get along with a difference there said he got a $100 bill 320s and some on $165 okay well he told Blaze and i00 I confirmed it three times he said there's 100 32s and ons I'm just telling you what you said to blaze and I sir is there any money still left in that l no there's not where did the money go then David just be honest where did the money go I don't don't have money did you spend it no I don't need his money okay I told you I have two jobs sir okay but I'm asking you a question because you when I opened it up there was no money in it okay okay they're going to get they're literally going to show me a video that shows me something else okay there's a bunch of receipts there's a condom wallet pull cash out of it I mean that's clear as day that that's money and who is sitting at the thing he's sitting right there yeah he's coun his money David we were making real progress because I mean you told us where the wallet was and everything about that I don't know why you're now starting to about the money aspect of it you can tell on that film that there's $160 but he told us this morning 800 it doesn't matter in your case let me let me explain this to you in your case the fact that it's not 800 is actually really good because if it was 800 and that money's missing you are 100% going to jail because that is a felony so the fact that it's not 800 you should probably be thinking your lucky stars right now you know what I will go get him $165 I do not have his5 listen we're beyond that right now that's for the courts to address all right I just don't get why you're picking and choosing when you want to be honest with me you want line at this point it is what it is you can see right there that there's $800 no the amount of money is irrelevant at this point if he told you $ 800 that's what he told you but he's telling us right now under oath that it's not 800 and when I asked you earlier you said you took nothing out of it and I said okay so theoretically there should be money in there now you're saying there's no money I'm just trying when I looked in there there was no money sir okay when I looked in it so I don't know what happened between the time he counted that or what okay but if it's $165 I'll go I'll I'll go to the bank right now and give it to him I don't need his money okay well let me ask you this it was a prank okay well let me ask you this if you didn't take his money why are you so willing to pay it back who's willing to just sell out $165 if they didn't take it why don't you ask them how much I buy from the grocery store okay well because he always needs money okay well we're getting off the dude always needs money okay what as ask him that ask him if I've ever I don't listen I don't have to ask him that it's irrelevant has nothing to do if you bought him stuff from the store in the past that's that's between you two and if that's part of your frustration that led to this then that's unfortunate but if you felt like this was part of it leading up to it why you felt the need to do this then you should have told him look I'm not going to buy you stuff anymore instead of do going to this route because now it's raised to the point of like I said that so yep stuff in it driver's yeah you know what I'm just going to say yes because we keep going back and forth yes I used all the cash I want you to strip bar had a couple laugh dances what I did being or you being serious I'm being Saras I'm going to go talk to him have him go through it see if there's anything else missing and then I'll get the paperwork going and we'll get them out of here all right Zach can you come over here real quick good I'm overwhel all right take a look at this tell me if there's anything missing obviously there's no cash in it so but apart from the cash is there anything else missing I saw your passport card in there did you have a Florida Driver's License yeah okay I had an ID Missouri ID and Missour drivage license in here as well yeah I don't know I left to work a little bit early yesterday this is acting real weird and I felt off like I felt fine when I got here and I felt like a little loopy MH towards the end of the day I was tired go home and then I was like I don't remember anything I woke up door was wide open I have I have voicemail i' like to show you guys that really creepy that he left me from him yes okay tell me like kind to bribe me with like alcohol and whatnot okay yeah looks about right everything's in there with the exception of the money yeah the money yeah still could like take pictures of anything but what's that so you could take a pictur of all this stuff if you really wanted to yeah and that's one of those things that unfortunately you're just going to have to monitor I already I already went through Iden theft actually much go so yeah just monitor it um and then we'll basically go from there but I me at we got that back for you what about the cash so how much cash was it it was 165 165 you remember the denominations that it was in $100 bill there was $20 bill $20 bill yeah so I mean I don't know about the cash but like I said well like I said my my cards are shut down yeah I had to shut my accounts down froad yeah like the cash is like what I was going to use food and gas yeah so I'm going to finish up with him I got to give him some paperwork I'll get you a business C with the case number and everything like that okay and like I said I'm going to give him a court date and then it'll go from there all right you have someone I can reach out to about this reach out to as far as what I I don't know I just feel VI yeah well that's the whole point of why we're giving him the paperwork and I'm even though he's not physically going to jail he's still being arrested okay so just the sheer fact that I'm letting him leave with a piece of paper he's still technically arrested I give him a court date if he doesn't show up to that court date then they put a warrant out and then we can pick him up on the warrant okay okay so I'm I'm guy here from Missouri I'm all alone my girlfriend from college up there she thinks I'm going crazy yeah I mean she uh I called her last night and she recorded like me talking to her I was I didn't do anything yeah so I mean at least you got this back you can reach out to your Banks and whatnot and tell them hey you know I got my cards back so they're not you know they're not stolen anymore my account my account's not I wasn't the only person on my account the ICL lock the Google 407 passwords got breached yeah everything this was a couple months ago though right yeah I'm still deal with it yeah so but as far as this goes I mean that's kind of the route you have to go get new cards sent to you or see if maybe or see if maybe they can reactivate them okay now that you got them back in your possession with and you can give them I'll give you a business card with a case number you can tell them hey i f a police report they apprehended the male that had it you know and see if maybe they can just reactivate the cards for you okay all right I want to I want but there's also this that was in my bag last night I don't know what that was that's the second weird tracking thing I found in my apartment it was in your bag yeah there was one H my AC a couple months ago okay I can tell because it always like it makes my TV like on a different Channel okay so it'll be weird the TV will change channel the phone like not have service like it'll go into some different mode where I can't contact anyone else okay all right yeah I don't know about that so let me let me get him some paperwork we'll get this at least cleared up and then we'll go from there okay like he's my money or what well that's what this whole prosecution is it's all being lumped under a theft okay okay so the the money the wallet everything like that even though you got it back he's still being charged with the theft of it all he had okay huh he had it it was in a storage unit nice so basically that's where we're at with it so like I said yeah little weird so I'm going to get him some paperwork I'll get you a business card and at the end of the day when I give him a date he's going to have to go and address why he had possession of it and all that kind of stuff the judge will then determine as far as restitution all that kind of stuff but that's got to be addressed in courts we can't do that here now we got at least we got the wallet back with the cards everything like that and right now you're out the money which is unfortunate but that'll get that'll get rectified in is there way I can like save like this voicemails and whatnot he just like randomly calls me like nonstop okay David David David David David okay like why yeah and they're they're weird like so it's up to you if you want to save him you could also block his number so that way he can't contact you again like I blocked I don't know my phone like like I said CH Channel I don't know what it does okay but it's not the same service so if if you want to save those that's fine but what I would recommend doing if he's doing that just block his number okay so that way he can't keep calling you okay I just talk to someone that I can like reach out to about this I don't know there's defin more going on yeah okay I've been dealing with the identity and house into hospital all I just don't want to I to forget about him come move back home dude you know that's a decision you're going to have to make but for right now like I said let me finish my paperwork we'll get him out of here we'll get you a case number and then everyone will go their separate ways and then it'll all get AI in court okay he was charged with theft and assigned a court date he was sentenced to 12 months of probation 25 hours of community service required to attend an 8-hour theft abatement program and ordered to pay $162 in restitution to the victim thanks for
