But um yeah, she basically just went around the store like selecting a whole bunch of apparel, putting a whole bunch of apparel back on shelves. Um and then she started concealing it in bags that she had selected and then uh she put the bags on the bottom of her cart and I think one was in her cart basket and then she walked through the check lane, took out like six clothing items, paid for about $50 worth of stuff and then tried to exting the rest. >> And you guys watch it on camera the whole time or in person? >> I watched in person. US. >> Okay. >> And so that's not including the $50 she paid for. >> Yes. >> That is including or not including? >> It is not included. >> Okay. And where are the items she paid for?

So, were these items for you or for >> Yeah, they were for me. >> Okay. >> I wasn't thinking. I literally wasn't as I was not thinking. >> Sorry. >> And I feel like a scumbag and I'll never do it again. I know that for a fact. >> Jacqueline, I got to say I've been been doing this job for a very long time. And you're the first person that I've ever had commit a retail theft over $1,000 or first person ever. Are you serious? >> That I've had now. There's been others. Trust me. >> Wow. That's I'm sorry, sir. Sorry guys. I'm really sorry. Like you guys know that like this will never happen. I promise you that. >> Okay. So, you came here today to visit a friend. You came to the city of High and you went and saw your friend and decided to come to Target. >> Yes. And when you came to Target, did you come here with the intentions of stealing? >> No, I didn't. Actually, >> I did cuz I literally paid for stuff. >> Okay. >> I paid for $55 worth of stuff. I bought two pairs of jeans. >> So, you paid for the >> $55 worth of stuff, but >> we're talking what did I say? 12. >> The total is $1,223.64. So, you decided not to pay for over $1,200 worth of stuff, but you knew you >> I mean, let me ask you this. >> Do you have the money to pay for that currently? >> There's a there's a check. >> Do you have the money currently to pay for $1,200? And >> no, what changed your mind when you were walking through the store that you thought it'd be a good idea to try to take these items? >> I have no idea. I have no idea. There's no excuse for it. >> Okay. >> And I know that. So, you just walking through the store, you selected a few items, you're like, I'm gonna pay for those and then the rest of them >> literally was talking to the girl at the checkout when it didn't fit. I mean, there's no there's no excuse for it. There's really not. And I feel like >> So, you did try to hide the items and conceal and pay for just the $55 worth of stuff. >> Yeah, basically. I think Yeah. >> So, you knew you were only going to pay for a few items while you tried to scoot out with the rest of it hidden in your cart. But in a very deep way, but I mean there's no excuse for what I did. I know that. >> No, there's no excuse. >> And it's this is a life lesson in life. I know that. I really do know that. I'm sorry. And I feel I do feel horrible about it. But I'm sitting here with you guys. This is a scumbag thing to do. Even better than this. >> Have you ever been arrested before? >> No, sir. >> Never been in trouble anywhere before. >> No, sir. >> How long have you moved into the state of Florida? >> I'm from South >> I meant I'm sorry to BVAR County. About a year ago, my grandmother passed away in February and then my mom's boyfriend got cancer and my grandfather has dementia. It's been really been it's been a nightmare. Okay. >> All right. Well, um so when it boils down to it, the state of Florida and the Tel Police Department don't take retail theft very lightly. Okay. You committed felony retail theft because at the threshold of $750, that is a felony amount. Okay. So, as long as you stay cooperative with me, okay, the handcuffs will stay in the front. Okay? So, that's as long as you're cooperative. If you become uncooperative, then I'll put them in the back and stuff like that. >> Yes, sir. Please understand. Do you understand that? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> But I'm begging you. >> Put your palms together out like this. >> I'm begging you. >> There's nothing that's going to change that. You committed a felony retail. >> Call my fiance. >> We'll we'll work on that here in a little bit. Just have a seat for me. Okay. >> 28,000. >> So sorry. You couldn't I think my fiance has $1,200 for it. >> It's It's already passed that. It's already exceeded that. Regardless of whether you had the money to pay for it or not, you should have done that before you went to walk out of the door. These guys, this is this is their job. >> Okay, so this is what they get paid to do. Walmart has the same people at every location. Okay, this is their job. >> You attempted to walk out of the store with over $1,200 of merchandise that you were not going to pay for. You paid for $50 of it. So, yeah, you get to keep that. >> I'm really sorry, sir. Please. I'm begging I'm begging I'm honestly I'm begging you bottom of everything. >> Begging me is not going to work. I told you here at the city high school, we don't take retail theft lightly. Okay. These guys tolerate more theft than actually Walmart does. Walmart calls us for as simple as $20 or whatever of theft and they want to press charges. This is the first time I've actually taken a retail theft from Target in the four years I've been here. Other people have taken them. The first time I've been >> Thank you. I'm really I'm so sorry. >> So, what's going to happen is you're going to end up going to jail. Okay. You're going to be placed onto a uh you're going to have a bond of 2,2500 give or take whatever the bond is going to be on the felony retail theft. >> Okay, you understand that? Okay, >> I'm begging you. I'm really begging you. >> Do me a favor. Stop. >> Understand something. I'm actually different cop than most people. Most people would not let you make a phone call. I'm going to give you a second to make a phone call to your fiance to explain him that you are going to go to jail today. that there's nothing he can do for you at this current time other than prepare to get a bondsman to bond you out of jail. >> Okay. Do you understand that? >> Okay. And you need a photo of her? >> Yeah. >> Whenever you're ready, he needs to take a photo of you. >> Okay. I don't want to hit you with tears. >> I'm so sorry, guys. I really It's going to ruin my life. I'm so sorry. Please. >> I've seen people bounce back from a lot worse. Trust me. Maybe tomorrow. >> I'm so sorry. >> Oh, I'm I'm sorry. I need you to take off the glasses. >> What do they do with the car? >> It's part It's going to be part of that this phone call she's about to make to the fiance to say, "Hey, I'm going to jail. I'm going to come. I need you to come get the car or whatever the case may be cuz >> sorry. I'm so sorry. >> The only reason I say so is Target doesn't want left over. >> I know. And and again, that's on you guys at the end of the day. If you guys end up want to tow it, that's a private property tow for you guys. There's nothing that we'll do um because it's private property. But this is where we I give the opportunity for somebody to come get the vehicle before you guys tow it. You actually shouldn't be driving on your license anyways cuz it's suspended. >> Is it really? >> Yeah. It's been suspended since May. Go ahead and make a quick phone call to your f your fiance, please. >> Has it really been? >> Yeah. Don't know why I didn't look into it, but >> put on speaker phone form, please. Thank you. >> Babe, you're on speaker. I'm being arrested for for theft. >> Why? cuz I just I was made I made a stupid decision and I can't I can't feel >> Can I talk to Can I talk to them, >> baby? >> Yeah. >> Can I talk to them? >> Hello, it's Officer MCL Police Department. >> Hey. Hey. Do is there a way I could pay it and and y'all could just give her a written arrest, please? >> No. So, she committed a felony retail theft and we have no leniency when it comes to felony. It's over $1,200 worth of merchandise she attempted to walk out of Target with. So, I'm I'm a reasonable cop, okay? I'm that's why she's allowed to make this phone call. Most cops would not allow her to make this phone call. They would tell her she could call you when she got to the jail. This phone call also served as a purpose as a courtesy to let you know that she's going to jail and that you need to get something done with her vehicle because if not, then Target's going to eventually tow the vehicle, which is just going to add on to the total uh it's going to cost you. >> I I got your key. Is there a way Is there a way she could leave the keys with Target and I will get them? >> That's up to I'm I'm here with two of their employees. Is there a way that the keys could be left with you guys so he can come here and retrieve the car? >> Yeah, you can put it up with guest services. >> Okay. They will put the keys with with guest services. Okay. >> Can Can I double check with her? >> Yeah, she's right here. >> Bab, this is so stupid. >> Hey, what what's what's our bond going to be? uh up. It's going to be over 2,000. It may be 25. They've just recently changed the bond schedules, so I'm not >> What's that cash for? So that I know. >> Well, cash would be whatever the bond amount total would be. So it' be 2,000 or 2500, whatever it ends up being. >> So what do I what am I going to have to pay a bonds? >> A bondsman is typically 10%, but you would have to call a bondsman and let them and and and figure it out. They make their their thing. >> I can't pay the bill. I know what I'm saying. >> Okay. Um All right. That's >> So if it's 2,000, it's $200, give or take. >> All right. Um, >> I can't pay the bill, >> baby. >> I can't pay the bill. >> Can I talk to her? >> Yeah, she's right here. >> I seriously will not need this to get it. Yes. >> Hey, hey, just just just relax. I I'm going to call Bon immediately and tell them to watch for you to be booked. >> This is so stupid. Do not tell my mother. >> I'm not going to say nothing, babe. But I need you to just stay calm because they're not going to release you until tonight. >> Okay. >> Can you please see my location, officer? I know. I didn't know. I'm 36 years old, but I have to turn my location. >> Sure. That's up to you. I'll let you do whatever you need to do. >> Yeah. Tell my mom I just wasn't feeling good and I went to bed. >> All right. I got you. >> I'm sorry, babe. >> It's fine. Just >> All right, sir. We'll leave the we'll leave a key with uh guest services and uh what I'll if it's up to her I can leave your purse in your car as well if you would like. That way everything's together >> and that way you're not taking a whole bunch >> way. Y'all could just leave Is there a way you could leave the keys in the car? >> Do you have Do you have a spare key? >> No. Oh, you're going to lock her purse in her car? >> Yeah, I'm going to lock the purse in the car. Give >> I have another key. >> Yeah. So, no. I would give the key to guest services, but I would lock the car with her purse in it >> because that's fine. >> That way it's just easier whenever you go down to jail. Yeah, the less you go with the better. She purchased $50 plus dollars worth of merchandise anyway. So, we'll leave all that in the car. Um, >> might be out. >> I don't know when you'll be out, but we'll leave the key with guest services that we can come get the car. Is there a time frame that he has to come get the car? They don't like cars left overnight, so >> No, it'll be before the night's over with. That's put my head. >> They close at 10 p.m. So, make sure you're here by 10:00 cuz if not, they call us because there's random cars in the parking lot. So, >> I got you. I'll make sure. Um, is there now, officer, I know you said you and you're doing a lot and I appreciate everything you've done. Um, is there a way you could write my number down and let me know when she's been booked? >> I won't know when she's been booked. What I do is I take her to my police department. I type up the paperwork. Then, I take her down to the county jail. Once they take custody of her, I leave. and then they start the booking process. So it'll be anywhere between now it is 3:00. It'll be now between between now and 5:00 when she's booked into the BVAR County Jail. >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right. All right.

Um so, just briefly, I've got her side of the story. What got you into seeing her? What intrigued you into watching her as she was selecting items? >> Um, there's just a large number of apparel selections in her cart already and she would put back selections and then select without looking prices. >> Okay.

Um, is there a way if I pay pay what she was trying to steal? >> No, there's no way. What? Like I told her, the way here in Titusville, the way we see it is is we don't like retail theft in our city. >> Um, so we and especially it's a felony. something that I have no discretion on. If it was a misdemeanor, I would have cut her a court date. As long as she had no prior thefts, I'd have cut her a court date. She'd have been able to leave. Um, with it being a felony, she's got to go. >> All right. All right. I just wanted to ask because I have the money to cover what what it was. I have to 12 I have, 1300. >> Unfortunately, the only way that would work is if Target said otherwise. But I don't think they're in the business. >> Is there a way you could ask them?
