I don't say that. I've never seen one in my life. What are you doing with my property? >> You think wearing a body cam would keep cops on their best behavior, but there are some of them who don't care about the cameras when they decide to steal from the very people they were meant to protect and serve. Here are several moments when cops get caught stealing on their own body cam. Starting with these three crooked officers who decided to steal from a family in the middle of an eviction. Okay, this put them in my shirt. Hold on. >> Hey, G. You still still in here? [snorts] You found something else? What you see? Yeah, I think that one open as though they lose and everything. >> In January 2021 in Smith County, Texas, officers were dispatched to serve an eviction notice and clear out a resident. But after removing the family, they decided to take things way beyond their duty. And what happened next would leave everyone absolutely stunned. >> Hold on. I don't know. >> Hold on. Don't come down here. put it. No, >> you just let me see. Okay, this put them in my shirt. Hold on. Hey, hold on. Give me a minute. >> Hold on. >> Oh, we got some co. >> Oh, damn. Everything here to >> This can go in here. We set that box, right? >> We set that on that dresser. >> What's this? >> Uh, a box. >> That is Chief Deputy Lquenda Banks appearing to put items belonging to the homeowners in her shirt. >> The officers thought that they had all switched off their [music] body cams, but unfortunately for them, one of their body cams was still rolling and everything they were doing was being recorded. And they're about to learn firsthand what happens when you cross the line and become the criminal yourself. Oh, there's a whole bunch in the other bag, too. So, we can roll this out. You still still in here? You found something else? on Broadway glasses. Like they got everything in a zip spot. This ain't like the daughter's room. >> What you see? Yeah, I think that was the opening. >> Are they allowed to keep anything of value? >> Who? >> What's all this? [sighs] >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Let's see what's in here. Oh, Ray-B bands. Okay. What's in here? Put my clean. Yeah, we done got hot. They come [laughter] in. Yeah, it's hot. >> You ain't want me to go rest? You going to go sit down and rest a little bit? >> Oh, yeah. I need to go sit down and rest. >> Yeah, go sit down and rest. You got a little little fat over there. After the eviction, the former residents reported several items missing, including four watches, an Apple AirPod, Oakley sunglasses, [music] makeup, over $750 in cash, and more. The disturbing and deplorable report force the police department to initiate a thorough investigation. And when the body cam footage was reviewed, the truth [music] came out. In the end, the three police officers were arrested and charged with abuse of official capacity, official oppression, and property theft. Just when you thought that you'd seen it all, along comes Officer Henry Chapman. Dubious cop thought he could pocket $900 from the suspect without anyone noticing. But he was about to learn that karma has a way of catching up fast. I'm >> going to put this in the in the bag for you. Okay. >> Yeah. Here. Here. >> Look. Can you Can you look in between his legs here, too? I think he just put some money in between his legs. I'm sorry. >> It's all the blue hunds are right there behind that receipt. Thank you. All that's my money. He didn't have that. >> This is your money? >> Yes. I heard him crumble it up. Thank you. Thank you. No, I'm I'm I just want to apologize everything I say, man. I >> On March the 14th, 2024 in Charlotte, North Carolina, an officer on routine patrol spotted a vehicle speeding over the limit and decided to initiate a traffic stop, unaware that he was about to spark an unexpected and controversial encounter. >> Good. Hey, I clocked in 68. Okay, that's why I'm stopping you. >> Do you have your lights on you? All right, just give me a moment. All right. >> While the officer was running the driver's name through the system, officer Henry Chapman pulled up to assist with the stop. However, there was a problem that was not meant to be an issue for the officer to deal with. The suspect was loaded with wads of cash, and this was a temptation that the officer was probably going to find hard to resist. >> Hey, appreciate you coming out. I haven't talked to him yet. >> Yeah, I haven't talked to him yet. Someone know it's a major warn out there real quick. I'm going show you something. Sir, come on. Step back here. Go ahead and place that phone on top of it. >> What am I doing to you? That's why I'm having >> You are under arrest at this time. You have a warrant out for your arrest. >> I'm going to show it to you in a moment. Okay. >> Is this your car? It's my girlfriend's car. Can he drive it? the guys. >> So, what am I going to run for? >> I'm going to show it to you. Come back here. I'm going to give you I'm going to show you the light, too, where I caught you at 68. That's not really the biggest concern here. Okay. Um, but I'm going to show you the warrant once I get you secure. Okay. Is there anything you want to bring with you down there? I'm uh I'm I'm thinking I cannot understand uh what am I doing? >> Yeah, it's a it's a warrant. I'm going to show you the actual warrant in just a moment. Li down. Is there anything you only need to know about stick? >> Okay. Do >> you want to bring these items with you or leave them in the car? >> Yeah, you can give them uh you can put them in my pocket. Okay. Step right. All right. Can I get my uh Can you get my phone? Yeah, something. I'm going to leave that cash in there. Any other pockets? I didn't know about what is my what is my money on the uh right there? What? >> Okay. >> What is that? That's my line. I've never seen it in my life. What did you hold the window down right here? one. So, I don't know what if you had a history with them or not, but you got a US marshal for a weapon by week. That's all it tells me. Okay. When you get down there, they're going to print it out for you. Okay. >> You get that. I guess I guess you know that's going with you that's going to go with you. We're not giving that to anybody else. We got that off you. So we staying with you so you know >> we didn't take none and nothing's going to be missing. >> All right. No, >> we are taking that >> that's staying with you. That that's the rule. >> You every bit of it going with you. Does that make sense? that that's accountability cuz when it comes to stuff like that, you know what I'm saying? >> So, just any type of double check it just >> Okay, sir. Just give just a minute. All right. >> After the onseen processing, the suspect was placed in Officer Chapman's cruiser for transport to the station. But in a shocking twist, while his belongings were being checked, he made an accusation that sounded almost impossible to believe. one that would soon put Officer Chapman in a situation he never foresaw. >> All right. I'm going to count your money in front of you. Okay. >> Here's here's some big money. We'll put this in the in the bag for you. Okay. >> Yeah. Here. Here you go. >> I got you. >> Yeah. She's counting right now. >> They're going to watch me. Okay. I heard the early man get shot. How about >> 1 2 3 >> 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >> Excuse me. >> I'm not trying to question you. >> Let me count it first. >> No. Can you can you look in between his legs here too? No, I think he just put some more money in between his legs. I'm sorry. >> Oh yeah. >> How much money did you have on you? >> Can you I'm asking >> I haven't touched it. Can you just check on these? >> Sir, listen to me. >> He's moving and everything. Look, he's moving. Sir, I'm here. >> Sir, listen to me. Tell me how much cash you had on you. What was the amount? I just want to see. I'm not going to lie. Can you Can you check I'm not going nowhere. Can you check your object for me, please? >> Hell no. He just touched me. I I heard the rubber band pop. He told me. Oh, I I had to >> look. And he's moving. He's moving between his legs. >> Sir, stand right here. >> I'm going to stand right here. But can y'all please check y'all fellow officers, please? >> What's going on? >> I look He's moving his arm right now. >> How much pass did you have on you? >> Can you check your hands? >> I didn't. >> Can you check your pupils? Cuz he's Yeah. Tell me what's going on. He look at his hand. He's tucking money. He's tucking money right in his right hand. >> Tell me how much money. >> He's tucking money. He's tucking my money. That's that's a that's a problem. >> The officers were shocked that a suspect was making such a heavy allegation against their own colleague. He was an officer and stealing from a detainee was beneath him. But from the look of things, the accused officer's face already had guilt written all over it. >> Hey, listen. What was your photo pass? >> Let her know. Don't check me. >> Look at him moving. He's moving. Oh my god. Y'all not going to check him? >> Listen. >> Look at him. >> Listen, listen. Listen, listen. Listen. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. >> I've been telling you guys the whole time. >> I'm not going to allow anybody to take your money. >> Look at him. He's moving. >> But look at me. >> Look at me. If If someone takes your money, it it will be a big problem. All right. No one's going to take your money. I can see his hands. I I I can see exactly what what what he's doing. No one's going to take your money. She's going to count your money. There's more money. Watch him touch my money. You got >> There's more money in here. You're saying that that there's more money in here. >> But what I'm saying is, >> let me ask you a question. Ask my question. Are are you saying that there's more more money in here? >> What I'm saying is he just touched my money and went through three different floor compartments and I seen him put it in between his legs. I heard my rubber band. I've been nothing but cooperative with you guys. All I wanted you guys to do is I'm saying but he already moved and did a lot of different stuff. >> Okay. But y'all already let him move like this whole way. Like watch. I can't believe y'all just did it like that. >> How much cash do you have on me total so I can count it out and we can verify it? That's what I'm asking you. >> We can know what the total amount was, >> man. I honestly don't. The money was for bills. My wife gave it to me. You want to just She tried to give me I tried to give her the money. You said don't give it to her. >> Okay. >> Cuz I went to Wendy's. I got a Wendy's receipt. Right. But do you know how much cash you had on it so I can count it out so we can verify the total? Do you know approximately how much you had on it? >> I said a number and I get it wrong because you touched the window. Then it's going to be all wrong. But I just don't understand why I heard my rubber band being popped. >> I just grabbed it from the seat to give to her. >> That's not what you just told me either, boss. >> I did. That's what I did. And I handed her the >> I'm not gonna envelope. Have I g Have I gave you any problem? >> No, sir. You have not. >> That's all I want to ask, sir. I just don't understand why y'all could like I'm not going I sit on my face. I'm not going nowhere. I just want >> ask you how what your total was so we can count it out. You can watch me count. >> I'm not sure. I'm distracted. It's a lot. It's a lot going on. I didn't even know I had a warrant. I'm just trying to I'm just trying to like >> So, if you >> what's it called? I'm trying to like just like comply with you guys. >> But that just doesn't make sense to the point where like I just watched him me and you both watched him move his hands. I watched him tear up. I watched him look at you and tell him like look at look at you and tell you no you're like you're not about to I I just watched him do way too much when I haven't been nothing but nice and compliant to you guys. >> He stood firm on what he claimed to have seen and wasn't backing down easily. The accusation sounded outrageous. The other officers struggled to believe it to be true. Still, they had no choice but to do everything possible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their fellow officer was innocent. That was going to be easier said than done. >> I'm trying to go along with you guys' protocols and everything. All I've done was ask questions so I know how like to make sure I'm safe and my family can find me and stuff and it's like >> and that's why I was asking you what your total was so we can sit here and count it out. I can verify that it's correct. >> It would have it would have just helped me more seeing that you would have checked in. It's like as soon as but like did you not see me walk over here? >> I did see that sir. >> None of y'all none of y'all like none of you guys body cams on like like I know on right now >> but I know for a fact what I seen and what I heard and then when I asked him why was he like popping the rubber band on the money. He said I was just making sure something but it's no need to make sure you feel what I'm saying like that's my property. You feel what I'm saying? And I know for a fact the money was touched but it's a million compartment. Yes, I did touch it when I grabbed it out of the sink. >> I understand. So, I don't want to argue with you, Mr. Chapman. I do know what >> No, sir. >> Okay. So, what we I typically do is count how everybody's count. >> So, you can see that it's accurate. >> The money was altered with >> So, when I turn it over to property, you can verify that the total we're counting out now is the total that you're going to get back. >> Okay. Are you good with me doing that right now? All right. >> And then you can tell me, do you have any kind of idea about how much you would say you have? >> I do, but I rather you tell me first. So, I just know in my head. >> But if you tell me afterwards that it's missing, that doesn't verify. >> But if you guys will stop 10, >> if you tell me how much it was, now I can count it and we can verify if it's missing. >> Okay, >> I understand what you're saying, ma'am. And I appreciate everything. I feel like you guys don't understand what I'm saying, but it's okay. I'm not tripping. You can turn it off. I just like you counting it out right now would just let me know exactly how much you took. But I'm not tripping. I'm not trying to cause any problems or any uh M miss Casperson. I'm not trying to cause any problem. I just know what I know. You feel what I'm saying? But I know I heard Ban Pop. I seen him fiddling. He did not just He did not just keep his hands up the whole time like like No, I didn't. He didn't open the door and say, "You can search me. Look, you you feel what I'm saying? I heard my money. Like I like I'm a I'm a very great business. I just paid bills all a couple days ago. You feel what I'm saying? I I just know for a fact that he touched my money. And then he was adamant about not giving my money to my wife or uh the uh the cameraman that was with me. You feel what I'm saying? He was just like, "No, you're going to keep your money on you." Which wasn't a problem. You feel what I'm saying? But him touching the money prior to just putting it in the like I've been listening the whole time. He asked for he asked for the small envelope. He didn't put the money in there. He asked for like like this just it just doesn't make sense. But you can do your job. I'm not trying to like postpone or like cause a problem. I just want to see how much is missing out at this room. >> I want to count in front of you so you can see how much that you have. Okay. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. >> Counting the money wasn't going to be enough to pacify him. All he demanded was that Officer Chapman and his cruiser be searched from top to bottom. Because until that happened, nothing the officers did was going to satisfy him. >> Can y'all like like I I don't know the protocol is that, but like y'all check y'all like like like his person because like if anything is on him like it would be in No, I don't I don't look I'm I'm going to show you right here. Look, look at me. Look at me guys. You know what I'm saying? So look, this is all I want to explain to you guys. Most of the time when somebody know they didn't like when somebody knows for a fact they didn't do anything they're not going to just you feel I'm saying like let you search them and I don't have kids you feel what I'm saying but I know how that goes because my mom did foster care so I'm like up to par with all of that and on top of that if I didn't do anything like how me and you been talking the whole time just like how me and you was talking the whole time. If I didn't do anything I have nothing that I'm worried about. You feel what I'm saying? There will be no reason for him to show me his pockets and stuff. Like I know for a fact >> I want you to feel >> comfortable. I would have I would I would have felt comfortable if your colleagues would have searched you at the exact time where I knew where the money was cuz I seen you kept going in between your legs and then every time everybody put all of the the attention on me, you kept moving. I don't know if it's in your door. I don't know where it's at, but just like look, I don't even care to find the money, but how you know how you know for a fact. >> Come here. Come here. The sergeant had reached his breaking point and was determined to prove the suspects wrong once and for all. Meanwhile, Officer Chapman could only hope his cruiser wouldn't be searched, but that was already out of his control. All he could do now was pray the officers wouldn't find what he had secretly stashed away. >> Come here. >> Come here. I want you to come here. >> Okay. Do Do you see anything? >> No. Yeah. No cap. I'm not even going to touch it. It's blue huns right here. It's all the blue huns are right there behind that receipt. Thank you. Oh, that's my money. He didn't have that money. >> This is your money? >> Yes. I heard him crumble it up. Thank you. Thank you. All that's right. That's my money. >> That's my money right there. >> Sir, you've been watching me the whole time. >> I seen you take it. I seen you sir. Just tell me. If I'm right, it's going to be around $1,000 if I'm right. And like I told you, I just went through. >> I s I seen you still, sir. >> If you if you don't mind, I just want to sit down for y'all. Don't try to say I'm don't want to do nothing. All I know for a fact is I know what I know and I've seen it. I just wanted you guys to trust me. You know what I'm saying? That's why I was just acting a little irate. But I'm perfectly fine. You feel what I'm saying? I'm sorry. I wasn't sir. I wasn't trying to expose >> That is not me, bud. Brother, I just seen you steal my money. It was no reason to pop my rubber band, brother. There was no reason for me to pop my rubber band off my money. I DIDN'T POP YOUR RUBBER BAND OFF your money. >> I heard it. We just spoke about it. You heard him agree to it when when he first when I first got I said I heard you did. You said, "Oh, I had to do something something." It's okay. >> It's okay. I know. I just >> I just witnessed here today. Mr. Chapman went in my money. He separated my money. He was trying to steal it and I caught it. He put it in between his legs and as his as his colleagues approached me, he worked it towards the door. He tried to make it seem like I was lying. >> Truth was finally out and officer Chapman was drowning in shame. If he could have vanished into thin air, he would have been long gone from the scene. Make matters worse, the suspect had no plans of going easy on him. He wanted justice. And this time, the tables had completely turned. >> I'm not going anywhere. I'm in full custody of of of of these officers. I'm being detained. I'm not going anywhere. I don't want any problems. I'm not armed. I didn't do anything wrong. I was just pulled over before a traffic stop. He just tried to steal some of my money. >> Okay. We're hearing you, but there's no need to say all >> No, I was I was just looking at the camera. I know. I just know how it go. You feel what I'm saying? I don't want to >> My camera's on the internet. All right. So, let's take it down or not. >> Yes, ma'am. I apologize. I'm so sorry. Yes, ma'am. So, what are we going to do about this problem? Cuz he just tried to steal some of my I'm not trying to put any allegations on him. I'm not trying to say anything. I'm not I'm not using my words like to try to hurt anybody. I just know what I know. And then I don't even like the fact. But I know you guys have like special protocol. I don't even like the fact that he just tried to steal and nobody like stood up for you. You feel what I'm saying? Like nobody was like, "Okay." >> Nobody saw anything but nobody saw anything that you said. I appreciate it. Mr. Morris, you his sergeant? >> Yes. >> Yes, he is my sergeant. >> Sir, I have 2020 and I can read. I remember when you called him out. I could tell you everything he said to you. Perfect timing. This is perfect. Perfect. Did you call me out this time? Because you didn't know the protocol to how a federal war was to be taken care of. Correct. Incorrect. >> That's correct. I called him out to ask. >> But you just separate. What? So, what was the purpose of you separating my money while you gave her money? while you just watched her count my money out in full cuz you just wasted a you you wasted a evidence quote cuz now she has to rewrite a totally different number. So if I would have agreed to the number that I didn't know when she asked me then I would have been like ridiculed or foreseen as a liar or something. That's why I didn't answer your question ma'am cuz I said that I had just went to Wendy's. I believe that's my receipt. I only ordered a 10 piece nugget and I ordered like a fry and something to drink. So I didn't know the actual amount of the money. All I know is when my girlfriend got off work at 5:00, I was supposed to give her that money for the rest of the bills and she was going to get her car back. I was in a car wreck this week. That's why I wasn't in my own car, man. That was my girlfriend's car, Diamond Alexander. That's why when when you initially pulled me over and y'all probably have my phones, you can see the call record. I called her at like 4 something to let her know, babe, I'm being pulled over in your car. In my eyes, I thought it was going to be for the tag temporary tag thing, the sticker. But like >> it was initially just for your speed. I promise you. >> No, I apologize. Stop. I'm just trying to do it. >> The unexpected turn of events left the sergeant contemplating his next move. Meanwhile, Officer Chapman was frantically searching for a way out of the mess he had gotten himself into. But at this point, there was little he could do to save himself. >> What I heard, I had 2020 vision. I'm not a criminal. I don't do things that I'm not supposed to. I heard him tampering with that rubber band. That rubber band was on that money because my girlfriend gave me the money this morning and told me I wasn't even supposed to be in her car. I just took it because I didn't want to be Ubering around all day. And my girlfriend had a car and she was going to work. I was supposed to be picking her up off Central at her job at her little where she do cosmetics at. With that money, we about to go to the bank. If y'all I'm pretty sure when y'all check the car, y'all know Chase. >> What's your What's your full name? >> Here Tyrie Moon. M O N C R E. Last name. >> Do we have all all your information? >> Yes, sir. But I want to know what y'all going to do about Mr. Chapman. >> Okay. You he was just caught at work taming with evidence. Mr. Moon, I'm I'm going to do my job. All right. So, >> I want it wrote down. I'm not going to lie. Not Mr. Morris. I'm not listen. There's nothing I can give you right now to tell you what what what I want to do. But like what I tell you what I want to do is if if if you legend that >> that he did something. Did you recount the extra money? >> No, it's 900. >> Oh, it's 900. I have it right here. >> This is 900. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. I can't. >> So, so you alleged that Officer Chapman did something. >> So, you guys don't >> listen. Listen. I'm telling you exactly what I'm going to do. Do Do not parse every word I'm telling you. I'm telling you exactly what I'm going to do. All right? Is that I I have to get on the phone. I have to call my supervisors to, you know, to run up the chain. All right? But you're [ __ ] But but you you you were still going going to jail. >> Oh, yeah. I understand. I wasn't trying. >> But but like that's why I'm I'm asking you if you gave them all of your information on how to get in contact with you. >> Did you do that? >> Name my first name and last do you have address and a and a phone number? You still have a gold pan? Yes, sir. We'll see if they get your phone number. Yeah. Everything else number. Uh, you can take my girlfriend >> and my mom. My mom, too. >> So, what's your girlfriend's name? >> What's your mom's name? her number. >> Okay. I'll >> you'll be hearing hear from us soon. All right. >> Yes, sir. Uh do you mind do you have a piece of paper on you? >> Yeah. Or >> uh just for like to put in my property. Uh I would like um for you to write down um uh Sergeant Moore's name. I would like for you to write down uh uh Mr. relax name. I would like for you to write down your name and um Mr. Chapman's name. And it's not like it's not like I just don't want to forget it. You feel me? >> Let me finish to get you in my car. >> My information is also on the citation. I appreciate it, sir. I appreciate you guys for like analyzing the situation because like if it wasn't said like this or seen like this or foreseen like this, nobody would have believed me. You feel what I'm saying? And I just wanted you guys to believe me. And I'm sorry if I seemed I rate or >> there's another dollar in your pocket. >> Or I'm sorry if I seem like I was doing too much. I just wanted you guys to believe me without me having to do anything like to show you guys. You know what I'm saying? Like try to grab him or try to like reach in his car and grab the money while I heard it. You feel what I'm saying? And I know it was a lot going on. >> I knew there was something I didn't know. like y'all be like, >> "Yeah, they'll do that again at the uh at intake." >> Yes, ma'am. >> Captain, his ID is on the dashboard up there. >> Do you mind putting it in in my evidence file? Can I get like your name? >> Yeah. >> With the suspect transported to jail, it was time to turn the spotlight on the crooked officer who thought he could get away with anything and do whatever he pleased without consequence. Okay. So, like this is what's going to happen. All right. We we have people coming in. Obviously, they they have to talk to you. All right. So, um I I'm going have to hold them to your weapon real quick. Okay. >> Yep. Go ahead. Take just take the uh whole holster off. It's one of them. I got it. at all. Um, Sergeant Burke and one of his detectives going to come and speak to you. All right. So, just chill out, relax, do you need anything? >> No, I'm I'm I just want to apologize everyone I see, man. I It's one of these things, dude. I I'm sorry. I hear, brother. Um, anything to drink or anything? >> No. >> Just want to say I'm sorry. >> I got you, brother. Well, we're going to walk out of here and close the door, okay? Until they get here. Okay, buddy. All right. Uh, let me know if you need anything. All right. I'm good. I appreciate it. After reviewing the evidence, investigators charged Officer Chapman with one count of embezzlement. Very next day, he resigned from the force. Eventually, he was convicted and sentenced to 2 years of probation. Nothing's more iconic than watching an officer steal a woman's underwear during a property search. [clears throat] Sometime in September 2024 in Hetfordshshire, 47-year-old officer Marson Zillinsky was conducting a property search when he decided to indulge in his own twisted fantasy. Being a trusted officer, he most likely would have gone away without consequences. But unfortunately, he had missed a very minor yet crucial detail during the search. And this was going to mark the beginning of the end of his career. Behind him was a camera capturing every reprehensible move that he was making. After his shameless antics, Marson [music] was charged with theft and the corrupt or improper use of police powers and privileges. He was immediately suspended from duty and in the end sentenced to 4 months in prison. From one twisted and absurd officer to another, here's the case of an addicted officer who got caught red-handed stealing the very substances she was sworn to keep off the streets. On October the 26th, 2017 in PSBow, Washington, the city hall lobby camera captured a scene straight out of a bad cop drama. 49-year-old officer Stacy Lee Smallan was caught red-handed on camera stealing narcotics from the city's prescription drug takebacks. A move that would soon end her [music] career and her credibility. She must have forgotten the cameras were rolling. When her bag was searched, officers found multiple substances, including morphine, tramodol, and several other prescription pills. In the end, she was charged with theft and felony drug possession. It is not in all cases that cops ended up getting caught stealing on their own body cam. The next cop thief is a wannabe cop who thought pretending to be a cop would be her golden ticket out of trouble. >> And then she tried to push through me. She had three other bags full of meats and everything and she said she came in with it. I said you did not come in with it. You came in with absolutely nothing. >> You're being arrested for a Palm Beach County warrant for attempted grand theft. Okay. And you're also being charged with um impersonating a police officer cuz we have you on an audio line. On February the 3rd, 2025 in Palm Beach County, Florida, officers were dispatched to Publix after reports of a shoplifter. This wasn't your typical theft case. The suspect had actually pretended to be a police officer and was able to intimidate store employees when she was caught stealing. When the officers arrived at the store, they immediately went in to interrogate the witnesses who had the most bizarre testimonies to share about the incident. >> What happened? >> What's going on, though? >> She's leaving. Okay. But what happened? >> She has all kinds of stuff. >> She tried to walk out with all of these bags of stuff in the bags that she took off. >> Oh, yeah. She not got it all back. So, my store manager on this. >> She said she was a county officer. >> I gave it to her. It looked like it was a temporary tag. I I don't remember what I said, but >> Yeah. She made it right. >> Yeah, but she could be going. >> Okay. There's a couple other units, but >> she's a county sheriff's officer. >> Okay. Okay. There's two other units. I'm going to go over there and we'll come back. >> Ma'am, you saw the lady. >> My stormy. >> What happened? What happened? >> Well, she first she had a those those pink bags right there. She had hidden one of those behind the Hallmark rack on aisle 11. Okay. >> And then the when we saw her, she was on aisle 9 loading up all of these kind of bags >> of of stuff. Then she came through the registers with this and wanted to know why everybody was asking her if she needed help. And then she's like, "Well, I'm just going to leave this." But then she went back and got all the stuff she had already bagged up and came through register one and was heading towards the door. So I told her she couldn't leave with the stuff. She goes, "I haven't left the store yet." And I said, "You don't have to leave the store. You passed all points of payment." >> And then she started arguing that she was a Broward County Sheriff's Office and we were embarrassing ourselves and blah blah blah. And she started walking out the door without the stuff. >> So I'm understand she did not leave the store with the stuff. >> She passed all points of sale. >> Points of sale. >> Is that your guys's policy? >> Yes. >> Pass points of sale? >> Yes. Then we can ask. And then she tried to push through me. She had three other bags full of meats and everything and she said she came in with it. I said you did not come in with it. You came in with absolutely nothing. She said, "Don't get in my way. Don't get in my way." And my staff took the bags out of the cart. >> Mhm. >> And she left empty-handed. Well, I think she had Tylenols and stuff in her purse, >> but >> I didn't ask to look in her purse. >> That's like Lantana public stuff. >> But this is where she's like trying to push and she's just saying, "Take your stuff and go. Take your stuff and go." and she's like, "Don't push through me. Don't push through me." And they ended up just taking her bags out. >> She had managed to slip out of the store long before officers arrived. But that wasn't enough to keep her out of trouble. The cops were determined to track down the so-called officer, tarnishing their badge. The next day, they returned to the store, gathering every detail they could to hunt her down and bring her to justice. >> So, I responded yesterday. I interviewed you quick just to get some factf finding information. Today, we're doing the sworn statement. Uh again, if you just give a brief statement of what happened yesterday. >> Okay. So, there was a black female about 40 years old who we were alerted um by one of my staff that she was placing a lot of products into uh reusable bags and [music] she stashed a giant bag of product on the HBC aisle. So again, staff members saw other employee staff uh publiclix employees seen her selecting items off the shelf and placing them in her own >> in a she took two large bags off of the shelf, Hallmark bags, and began to fill them with to the top with HBC items. And >> and again, for the record, what is HBC? >> Health [music] beauty. Health and beauty >> supplies. uh health and beauty >> like kind of like shampoos and stuff like that. Okay. >> Yes. And then um she stashed it and hid it kind of behind a Hallmark rolling rack. >> So she concealed the items that she was going to take behind a >> a rack. Correct. And then she proceeded um to continue shopping. She had a grocery cart and she filled the grocery cart with bakery items, frozen food items. Then she went to the t detergent aisle and filled the cart with a lot of cleaning products, kitchen towels, candles, uh mops, brooms, and then um she was seen by our staff on that aisle loading the cart and also with uh three reusable bags that she took and were uh stuffing products in the reusable bags on the detergent aisle, which we looked on CC CCTV and did in fact see her stuffing items in a reusable bag. That's when I approached her on the aisle and asked her if she needed help. I offered to ring up the whole cart of groceries she had to get her started cuz I said, "I see you have a second grocery cart you're beginning to fill. Would you like me to start ringing up your first grocery cart?" She asked me why I approached her. Told me she was a Palm Beach County Sheriff's officer and she wants to be trained. Was it Broward County? Excuse me. Broward County Sheriff's Officer. She said, >> "And when she said that, >> she asked, >> did she display any badge or give any ID number or anything that would verify that she would be a a law enforcement officer?" >> She did not. She just was [music] upset that I was confronting her and asking her, she said for me to treat her like I treated everybody else. I said, "Ma'am, I'm asking you if you need assistance, I'm trying to provide premier service to you." and she cpped an attitude because I asked her if I could help her. She continued to load a a cart uh and load the second cart. She pushed the first cart up front. Um as she brought the second cart forward, she was passing all points of sale. >> Did she go through like the where the clerk is a self or to selfch checkckout? >> She went through an empty register passing points of sale. >> Okay. Where nobody was working at. >> Correct. and she was and um myself and my customer service managers were standing on the front end and she was trying to push past us >> to exit the store >> with product and she insisted that she brought the product in and it was hers but on CCTV she brought nothing in with her. So >> So you guys saw her loading up items into the cart into these bags. She went through a empty um where you pay a register with no clerk there, >> passed all points of sale and attempted to exit the store >> with product. >> Okay. And so at that time you called the the sheriff's office. >> I did. I called 911 because she had $1,300 worth of product [music] that she was attempting to exit with. So, um, while I'm on the phone with the 911 operator, she was rattling off her badge number to the 911 operator, and the operator heard her. Um, and I described her clothing. I described the car to the 911 operator. >> And what kind of car did she leave in? >> She had a blue uh, small Mercedes with temporary tags, and she was wearing all black. >> With the information they had gathered, officers launched a full-on hunt for [music] the wannabe cop shoplifter. It took over a month, but on March the 19th, 2025, they finally tracked her down. And this time, her phony badge and fake authority weren't going [music] to save her from the real law. >> Yeah. All right. Hey, Yasmin. How you doing? I'm a detective with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. >> Um, one of the reasons we're here is to speak to you about an incident that occurred on February 3rd of LA of this year. Um, before I talk to you, I have to read your rights because I'm going to ask you some questions and I'm just trying to get some clarification on something that happened down in Palm Beach County. >> Palm Beach. >> Yeah.

Do you recall that incident? >> Yeah, but I left the store and she said that that she something. I don't know. And I said, "Okay, whatever." And I left. >> No, I I know you left. I got you on video leaving the store. More importantly is when you made contact with her the first time, did you ever identify yourself as a Broward or Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy? >> As a deputy >> or a police officer >> or a detective? >> No. >> No. Okay. >> I'm nowhere near none of that. >> Okay.

And then you provided your identification number. You provide an ID number. >> No, not me. >> You don't remember doing that? No. >> No. >> What were your intentions when you were there? >> My intentions were for her to leave me alone cuz I feel like she was harassing me. But to even say something along the lines of >> I think that I'm someone else other than who I am. >> Okay. Now, when you were grocery shopping there, >> why did you pass off point of sale with the grocery parts? >> Just in the midst of trying to get something that I didn't, but I didn't take anything. No, no. You left you abetted everything at the front door. >> Yeah, I left everything. And the reason why I decided to do that is because I wanted to get right on to my children. I thought I was going to miss the still going through my chemo. I'm still going through now that I was getting dressed to go to now. Okay. >> And I can no longer go. >> Um, >> so you you don't recall identifying yourself as a Broward County Sheriff's deputy? >> That part. >> Do you remember providing an identification number? cuz you in the in the 911 recording you said you said no I'm a Broward >> multiple people yelling >> no but you you you you specifically saying that's who I am and you identified yourself with that ID number I don't even know how ID number go >> okay all right >> the evidence against her was undeniable and there was no way she could wiggle herself out this time around the officers were fully prepared to hold her accountable for her actions >> so at this point in time just so you know you being arrested for a Palm Beach County warrant for attempted grand theft.
