sorry I've never been in trouble you don't have to apologize for anything okay but I do this is a waste of your time it was an absolute accident I'm I'm just tired and it was behind everything and I was scanning them and I was picking everything up and packing it up it wasn't anything deliberate I have no problems paying for anything I wouldn't have spent $200 if I didn't intend up paying for it

what part just the main Courthouse wherever they do Teen Court do you know where I was told to go pull up to the courthouse and that there's an awning next to the parking garage where they walk under if it rains and he'd be right there okay hello sir did you did you get that contact name yeah we we we know exactly where it is so the way it works is this um it will be the highest it will be is a $1,500 bond which means you can post 10% through a b tiue it's it is a 10% Bond through a bonds company so it would be at maximum $150 okay um you but you will have to you will find out when you get down there all of the jail deputies are good people all of the jail deputies are very helpful okay but the thing about it is want to be judged cuz it was an accident no this we as well as them are not judgers okay we are not judges okay we don't judge I don't want to lose my job well there's a decent chance it's uh 9 7:00 right now that within the next couple of hours you will be in and out okay I'm just making a point though that you being as calm as possible makes the process so much faster can I have my inhaler of my bag where is it it's in my green bag in the back part of the bag okay hold on one second hold on one second I'm just going to move this real quick hold on one second Amy I'm going to grab your find your back it going to be a picture of me on the internet we don't do that why are there pictures on the cool your county web page the Facebook page yeah cuz those are for like heinous felony crimes okay this is a misdemeanor I'm actually a really really I work for

him what's going on so he knows you ready to go yeah actually they got they're still doing stuff so we got time hey so I got I got I'm getting arrested yeah I I'm getting arrested right now so I I'll tell you in a little while it has nothing nothing violent or anything I promise but Eddie's going to send a uber to pick up Dominic to bring him home I'm so sorry I was on my way fine it's fine it's fine I'm got to call now okay I'm sorry I'm sorry it's fine it's fine all right bye can you call my fiance back and tell him that Angela's going to get him and he doesn't need to get a maneuvered hey so Angela's going to go get Dominic all right well there's baby I don't know how we're going to get our car car's going to be here it's not going anywhere oh I'll bring it it's at Walmart I'm in the Walmart parking lot I was picking up the stuff for the kids Easter baskets in the bag all the way in the back was it was behind the other bags and when I was packing it I forgot to scan the one in the back all right I love you she'll call you when she get a chance all right ma'am ma'am the processing takes a couple hours okay you'll get a bond and you'll be able to bond down in a few hours all right I don't have any way to get here to get my stuff I don't know anybody what you can Amy what you can do is this when you make a phone call when you get down there you can make a phone call and you can have your keys released to somebody okay right yep yeah you can have your keys released to somebody thank you you can have your keys released to somebody okay when they released they can come pick up your car and they can come pick you up okay okay listen there are worse off people that are able to make do with this situation okay just scared trouble and I don't want to lose my job and I just interviewed for a position at the jail so now I'm not going to get it well I I don't know how that process works when it comes to okay but really quick everything was refunded onto your EBT card which is right here the receipt is on top of it what about my debit card what about your debit card my card that I had I had like $200 worth of cash stuff in there too was it was it used on your EBT card no I only had like well everything else no what I'm getting at though anything that you use your EBT card for oh was was AR even worried about that well I'm just making a point though that because they have to refund it with the card in hand okay everything else can be digitally or whatever electronically done okay so this while we're sitting here and the other thing too is this because I'm not a medical professional because I don't know your diagnosis when it comes to the asthma or anything like that when it comes to the uh the inhaler I cannot administer it I'm not allowed to okay I'm physically not allowed to you just I promise if you free this hand let me take one I'm really having a hard time breathing all right hold on hold on I promise I'm not thre I know I'm not saying you are the ISS the issue is this Amy I'm not even mouthy I'm just the issue is this Amy what I'm making a point is that there are rules to well there are also people that say things I'm again I have to go base off of my prior experiences in s years of doing this job of people saying oh I need it and then something else comes up okay I promise you I need to verify that hold on okay I can't have my iner the issue is this oh you turned off okay my apologies the issue is this and and this is coming bound up to to basic people in our custody we're responsible for them both pH physically mentally and also medically I'm a nurse I I understand that okay but what I'm getting at though is this Amy the faster we get down there the faster you will see a nurse and the nurse will let you administer it okay they will be able to verify the prescription that is given to you okay I I'm not allowed to to do that okay I can't I'm I I just I would lose my job I need a tissue I snot running down my oh my God this is embarrassing I'm a we're going this is a 7 minute ride probably down there okay it'll be very quick I will make it as fast as possible I will turn the AC on I will get you some cool air blowing back on you okay sure the best way to do it is if you can sit on one of your left or right hips kind of twist your body no no there you go just like that okay it's a little bit of a lean okay all right I have not a threat I promise you I'll sit here with my hands crossed I don't think you are a threat okay it's our policy okay I can't Bridge policy okay hold on oh day okay I just wanted to get the paperwork on our end has been completed so what that means is that I didn't get to see what that lady wrote on that paperwork hold on Amy I'm going to open this up so I can talk to you you can hear me better okay so what that statement is that's a it's called a sworn statement okay um she swore and affirmed that that t the statement that she gave was true okay um that statement will be placed into I I don't know how aware you are so I I'm just going to go off of maybe you don't know it's called Discovery okay that's that's that's the the state case File that is against you a aka the defendant okay so that will be all presented to you um in your quote unquote disc y packet okay so there'll be a packet of information that you as the defendant have the legal right to be able to witness with if you so choose to have legal council represent you okay and that legal council or you or however you want to do it um because you have multiple different you know rights or options if you will you'll be able to review the documents and see what she wrote down okay um it's our job in the law enforcement setting is the victim or um the agent if you will loss prevention agent if you want to call it just be specifically um we take their sworn statement okay and we put into our words as well as verbatim from what they wrote down on something called a booking sheet okay and all that is that's called a probable cause affidavit yeah okay um every State's different so your booking sheet has been completed okay which means that all we do is print it off and we sign it as well swearing and affirming to who you know the deputy that arrested you um arrested you I'm transporting you but doesn't mean I'm arresting you um and they sign it and then that gets put in there which means that you you at the jail now can move on from waiting for paperwork cuz sometimes it depends on the case sometimes it takes an hour sometimes it takes 7 hours okay it depends on how involved the case is um this one was obviously not very not super were you know complicated um for them to write you'll go in there um you will be able to um here excuse me you I don't understand why they can just accuse me of I get that I walk beyond the point of sale I understand that but like I could see that if I had like a history or anything or if I'd ever been in trouble before but like here she is I think I'm more hurt than anything she wouldn't even let me explain anything to her and she's like accusing me of this and I'm not well Amy I listen I was parked about 1,000 yards away so I don't know okay now I will say and I'm just being very honest with you adult to adult okay Walmart loss prevention staff um they do uh significant training on this stuff not only do they do that there's um video footage no it's fine no yeah I know that yeah so again I don't know what was seen I honestly don't even know I know what she saw because when I came in I had my own bag which I I did we have to we made you to have your own bag I understand yeah so I brought my own bags and I was short of bag so I got another bag and I took the tag off and put it up in the top of the cart so I remember to pay for it okay and the bag all the way in the back was already zipped up for some reason and I don't even know why okay but I figured that I had already scanmed it so I just didn't go back but it was a and I get where she's coming from too because she has a job to do yeah but it was a complete innocent accident I'm not and I know it doesn't matter what I have to say because of what it looks like but that's actually what happened when we go in there okay listen and you've obviously calmed down you seem like an extremely reasonable good person okay good people make stupid mistakes every day okay it doesn't make you a bad person it doesn't make you an evil evil evil criminal mastermind okay it doesn't I'm just letting you know this right now you got to take it in small little bites okay and this is another bite you're going to have to take real quick I just don't want to lose my career accident I understand okay but here me out for one second we we can't look that far down the street yet we got to watch we look for the crack right in front of us so we don't trip over it this is that crack when we go in there they're like I said before they're good people they're nice people and they're reasonable people okay if you are calm cool and collected as best as you can be okay answer their questions you know these are definitely not the people CU they have zero idea what's going on okay they you could tell them that you did X Y and Z or didn't do XY andz and they're going to be like I don't know what you're talking about but what I'm saying is if you need to get phone numbers out of your phone these are the people that you got to butter up a little bit okay you got to be cool with them they'll let you do that I promise you okay I can't promise you but I'm willing to bet very very good good percentage they will let you grab phone numbers out of your phones make maybe a couple extra phone calls than normal if you're cool with them and you just do what they need you to do okay there's a process you said you worked in the jail before somewhere else yeah I I get it okay um I I can understand being scared okay I can um I'm usually the one screening people I one being screened I I know and I'm just talking to you real quick before we go in there okay but listen do me a solid do yourself a solid just try to be as cool as you can be maybe scream on the inside not on the outside okay um and just do what they need to do in there that way you can be as quick in and out of here as fast as possible okay and they'll be able to explain everything about the bond process I worked law enforcement in a different state I've never worked in a jail I don't know how it works okay so you you and I know as much as as each other when when it comes to the jail setting okay so when you go in there if you have a question ask them they'll answer it for you okay no my son got picked up I don't want him sitting out on the street well what you what we can do is we got to go in there they got to do a couple of things really quick I don't know how fast that process is okay but I don't want I don't know I'm paranoid I guess oh it's okay it means you're a good mom all right I'm a I'm a paranoid dad I understand in jail too long with too many sick people in the world I I understand that one you just stay in my own clothes I don't know I don't think so but I can't remember okay and any in the photographs for intake processing here like I said unless you are actually wanted for 30 murders it's not going to be posted online okay that that we we don't do that I I can't afford it to be I will lose my career I work very hard for my career I understand I can understand that one I get it completely okay I'm a I'm a nurse to the rich old people in North Naples I'm aer's nurse oh wow okay well I can tell you this Amy I've arrested some people before in um well off positions and guess what they're still there nobody wants a thief working for them well again you got to remember although it might not appear as it is right now what is the one thing that separates the United States legal system than everybody else you're innocent proven guilty okay you got to you got to you got to base it that but I know what it looks like too and I'm don't real it I understand that and as I'm I but at the same time you know you have legal do process okay when it comes to anything when it comes against you in a criminal matter all right with that being said you know whatever happens from this point forward you know you will have your time to explain to any sort of legal higher authority I.E a judge an attorney things like that what you know your side of the case you know I I I I can't I can I can go on for hours about that whole process okay but you have that legal VI it I mean I'm sorry I just hope they'll pile it so it doesn't go on my criminal record it it could be dropped it could be you could have a plea I don't know you could you could have uh a slap on the wrist and f i I do know one thing I'm not going to plead guilty to something I know it wasn't true listen that's that's that's that is your 100% constitutional right as a as a legal citizen okay and I will never argue with someone's legal rights okay so 40y old 40 okay you're 6 years older than me so I get it you know sometimes mistakes have have repercussions but regardless of that I'm not going to dwell on that one and I don't want you to dwell on it either what I want you to do is this continue being obviously what appears to be a good mother okay doesn't make you a bad mom okay trust me my wife and I do dumb stuff all the time okay and you know it's way more than I do cuz your son's 17 years old my son's only three so you know just want to be home with my I understand the woman was charged with theft all other larsy
