Everything's I don't like I don't I don't understand what's going on right now. Let me go. I put it on the seat for now. What's your name? Let's see what it says. Um I don't know what's What part of this is That's his [ __ ] so Got to put it on the bunch of keys. baby wipes. I know he said the Orajel, so I don't He's saying he I I guess he's trying to say he shoplifted it from some of it from somewhere else, but if it's the same stuff you say you're putting in the bag, it kind of is what it is. After seven times that you're told you're under arrest, and now you want to barter. Uh-huh. I don't have to tell you anything. I I and I was super NICE TO HIM. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS ALL FROM THE cuz I believe he may have shoplifted from somewhere else. Okay, disappeared. Thank you. All right, they got to come up here anyway. Yeah. Um we well, we need We just want to confirm that this is what was taken from here. What aisle was the Orajel in? Or where was he? I want to go look in Chances are that's probably all from there. But where is the manager? I'm going to assume he has warrants, and that's why he don't want to give his name. So then he'll get the hindering, too. You can give him hindering. Actually, you can give him obstruction and hindering now. Yeah, cuz he hindered our investigation. 49. Is this all from that same aisle where he was? Just want to make sure. He's trying to say he didn't shoplift any of it from here. Oh, this is this is like the Orajel, okay. So all this is from here, this stuff. Cuz he was in every He was in the aisle, he was in the baby aisle, he was in I I told him I was like, they know exactly what's theirs and what's not. That's all right. Jesus. What is this, the bottomless bag? At least we got a bag. He went or he just went to the back of the store. Um they already had him stopped when I got here. I think he was around back. They tried to duck up behind the um What's that called? The dumpster area. Oh, yeah, it'll Oh, yeah, it'll all be on there. She 61418. I didn't even know they did the felony. Did I lay this out nice enough? Sure he didn't want to This is like an Orajel. They go they go and they sell them out to bodegas like a dollar pop. Mhm. They don't like they wouldn't want their mouth to be numb. So then they rub like when they get down to the last of the dope, they rub the bags in there, they get that little bit of a hit off of it. So they can't have a numb mental mouth. No, they literally steal the like the soaps, the Orajel's, and [ __ ] like that, and they sell it out to bodegas, and then the bodegas sell it for They'll sell They'll give them a dollar each, so it should be a $20 take for them. They'll sell it for $6, $7, still less than what it sells for in the store. So win-win for everybody except the people they victimize. Oh, I've heard of that. I'd have to give this a shot one day. You're going to do it here? Yeah. All right. Trying to lay everything out for you as nicely as possible. I I was going to say I I thought you were. I was confused when I saw you. I thought you I was just off. You got any of those? Yeah, he'll he'll sell it for 20 bucks. Did it look like anything else was taken? He was trying to take like two things of Motrin, but I guess he saw me on the phone. All right. I did cuz we didn't look like he dumped anything, but I don't know if there was anything else maybe we were missing. Can I see your info? Sure. What's the still doing with the shoplifting? Oh, yeah, yeah. Mate, just do me a favor though. Don't Don't use my personal >> No, no, yeah. I I always put this address. Uh what's the phone number here? Uh different store, you don't know. Is it on the receipt? It might be on the receipt. I got you. Yeah, it's on the receipt. I got you. Thank you. All right, it's all yours. Yeah, we're still doing with the shoplifting, the obstruction, and the hindering, and then see what other warrants he's got. Teach this young man how to do some good arrests. Still no name? Plus the two Motrins he tried to take. You can include that in there. Yeah, he said they were $20 each. You can do it as um like especially on the property sheet, you do the amount that was taken. Say it was uh It was 75. 205. Yeah, it'll be 205, and then just returned or recovered would have been the $40. You know what I'm saying? Even though we brought all the stuff back? Oh, [ __ ] Yeah, you're right. My bad. What am I thinking? I'm [ __ ] Yeah. You might as well. It was still obviously his intent, and he even said that was his intent. Who you want, me? What's up, bro? You're right now you're under arrest for obstruction, hindering, and shoplifting. Well, the obstruction and hindering are failing identifiers. That's funny cuz they have you on camera putting it all in your bag. Not all of that stuff. You've also self-admitted that you were trying to take the Tylenol and the Motrin. Yeah. All right, so you're not All right. I'm not doing this. We're We're going to take you across the street to our headquarters. You're going to be fingerprinted, identified, and charged. You got warrants or anything? All right, then. Shoplifting charge you'll probably be out today. I can't guarantee it, but No, you're good. For what? For what? Oh, [ __ ] Yeah, my bad. I didn't even hear. Yeah, you're good. So I'm not too concerned about the $175, $200 thing, but even if he attempted to take it or self-admits that that's what his intent was. That's still shoplifting. >> Okay, yeah. So, since he self-admitted that he would his intent was to take that and deprive them of payment for it, he so added into his charges. Okay. Which is there now. What's it after 2:05? Okay. But, uh Obviously, obstruction and no one else failed to give his name. And now he's hindering apprehension or investigation cuz detention hindering apprehension or hint the hindering charge is not just hindering if you have a warrant. Mhm. The statute covers hindering your arrest. Yeah. Um apprehension, arrest, investigation, or detention. So, obviously, he's hindering all of that at this point. So, you can charge him with obstruction and hindering. Okay. Kind of both apply, so Yeah. >> you do both. Okay. Although, when he gets inside, depending on how he acts, you could always just charge him with just the obstruction, but both charges are good. Okay. Yeah, and then I have this as well as the shoplifting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. I know a lot of people focus on the all but it's under $200 thing. That doesn't matter. Okay. That's really honestly that's neither here nor there. Yeah. It's a guide that we go by because if it's over uh or under a fourth degree, Yeah. it's not we don't have to arrest. Yeah. But, between his self-admittance, that's when we can arrest for extraordinary persons not in uh not in sight. How much is all $12.99 each. All right, so that that's to this charge. It's 26. Yeah. Just just hit the threshold. Okay. But, I was just telling him that that's irrelevant. He self-admitted to it, so he just got rid of the whole being a DP, not in plain sight Yeah. status. Yeah. See if he gives his name. Hindering apprehension and the shoplifting. Yeah. I'd say if if he starts to comply and he's good, you can cut the hindering out, but if not, if he's going to continue to be like that, then just charge it. All right. He said he'd been locked up, so you know he's going to run. Just make sure you do What is it? The query mode first? Is that what it is? The what? You have to on the AFIS you have to do the query >> query, yeah. >> in order to get his ID. And there's I have no Fill me up. Let me I want to know what his record looks like. Or you can just give me his name and I'll look it up. All right. How long does that [ __ ] take to work like the query? It usually comes back pretty quick. It basically as long as like when you print somebody in the streets, back a couple of minutes, it usually does the same thing. Okay. Sometimes it takes like 10-15 minutes and then they get the notification in the agent, but it'll actually I'll turn my agent on cuz it'll pop up in there. But, he's clearly stating he has a lengthy history, so it should pop up. Make sure his prints Yeah. All right, okay. Thank you, fellas. All right. One for you, man. Please leave a comment.
