So, I mean Okay. So, here's here's the thing, okay? We're going to look at some security footage. All right. Um, you are we going to see you at at the grocery store across the street? I don't know. Maybe. Huh? I don't know. You said maybe. Maybe. All right. Here. Listen, man. Like, if you're hungry and you're just trying to eat. All right. Like, you you're not trying to you're not trying to to rob banks, right? You're not a bank robber, are you? That's too hard. Huh? That's too hard to do. I agree. All right. And it's not like you were running around breaking into car windows, stuff like that. Right. You were hungry. Okay. I'm not here trying to trying to make bigger things. I like to keep small things small and then I'll pay attention to the big things. Okay. So, were you just hungry? And is that is that why you threw the rock through the window? Maybe. Maybe. Okay. Cuz I mean, listen, man, if you're just hungry, you're not trying to hurt anyone, right? I mean, we'll get you heck, we'll bring you back. We'll get you a meal. We'll get you squared away. Okay. Um, you didn't try to you didn't try to like steal any like money out of the safe or you didn't take a cash register, did you? No. No. Okay. All right. So, that's the the only reason the only thing you were worried about is you were hungry. You just wanted to grab some food. I haven't ate much food in like the past three months. I won't even lie to you. Yeah. And I I I think stressed out. So being hungry, I think, drives people to do to do things that they normally wouldn't do. Is that Is that correct? I just food. You just wanted to eat food. Just have a good life. That's all I want. Okay. Well, we're not trying to make it We're not trying to make it worse, you know. We're just trying to put put a story together, you know. Okay. Um, here's here's what I'll say. Um, because I don't really want to get you I don't I don't want you to be sitting in handcuffs forever. So, I'm going to give my boss a call and I'm going to see how we want to how we want to rectify this. Okay. All right. Cuz I don't want you sitting in handcuffs for longer than you have to be. Okay. All right. So, give me one second. You're going to actually I'll stay with him. Can you give Sigma a call um and let him know uh this is the possible? Yep. And then uh see if we can get footage. Yes. And if not, then we'll go from there. Y So, um is the What about the iPad? Is the iPad yours? Okay. I mean, is that is that where the chips are from? Is is that from that's from Sunset? Yeah. Yeah, the chips. Okay. Cuz Yeah, it looks like the Looks like the bag. Yeah, the bag says sunset. Okay. So, I mean, I wish I honestly I wish you would have just came to the police department and said, you know, you're you're hungry and we would have we would have figured something out, you know? So, you know what I mean? Sorry. I knew that I was going to freaking end up in jail somehow. So, I mean, I saw this coming. Well, we got to look we got to look to see what exactly the the situation is. Um I don't know if we don't necessarily know that you're even going to be going to jail. Okay. So, we got to we got to sort that out. All right. Deon, is it? Yeah. Dean, right? Do you mind if we look in that bag and look to make sure you have a receipt? Oh, sure. Yeah. Okay. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] And probably not right. So, I mean, it's not You just wanted to get some some standard food, right? This I mean, this it's not like you stole Rolexes, right? This is probably like seven bucks worth of food. Um, did you have other stuff you already ate? You didn't take You didn't take more than like $300 worth of food, did you? No. I was going to say that's I think anyone would have a hard time eating that much food. Um, how like if you had to ballpark, so if you had to ballpark how much food you took tonight, what would you like kind of estimate that as? I'm pretty sure this is literally all just the bags of chips. Okay. Um, so like I said, man, I get I get you're hungry. You're just trying to eat. People do crazy things when they're hungry. Um, but we just, you know, we can't we can't be breaking windows to to do that. But there's other ways to do it. Um, how old are you? You're 18. 19. 19. So, I'm willing to I'm willing to talk and work with you. All right. I mean, there it wasn't like you hurt anyone and it wasn't like there's a a safe broken into or anything like that. I'm willing to work with someone who's just hungry and trying to eat, but you got to understand, you know, you still can't be throwing rocks through windows, right? So, I I'll I'll do what I can to get you on your feet, right? But we can't be we can't be busting windows out. All right. Um, are they trying to look at the Yeah, he just said to detain him. Okay. Are they going to be able to look at it? Yeah. He said I asked him if he has it. He said no. I said, "Okay, do you want potato?" De Man, what's the last name you like to use? Uh, no last name. I just like just A man. All right, we'll get it figured out. Do you have your name written on your iPad? I know you don't want to say it, but is it written down anywhere? No. What's up? Oh, hold on. Well, there you are. Uh, the only thing I'm seeing are a bag of purple Doritos and a green Dorito dynamite. Dina Dynamita. Sure. Yep. Bye. [Applause] What are we waiting for? [Applause] We're just waiting to get some other info, okay? And then we'll get you rolling. All right. I don't want to I don't want to have you sitting in those for any longer than I have to. Oh [ __ ] So, you rode up you rode up from Chicago, got off here. Um, what time like what time would you say you were at the grocery store at sunset roughly? I mean, it's 4, it's 5:09 right now. You had to guess like an hour ago, two hours ago. three. I can't remember. Can't remember. Okay. What's up? Yeah. Based on based on statements. Yes, that's it is. Yes, we will do that right now. I'm gonna I'm gonna just gonna I'm gonna have him come with me to for to 44, right? Okay. When how long is he going to be here? Because I don't want to have him sitting in handcuffs forever. Oh, okay. All right. Never mind. All right. Bye. Um he's just waiting on five security guys 5 minutes away and then they're going to um come in. But there's uh I mean right they said that there was a there was a Doritos bags missing from the shelf, right? That's where you got them from. I can't I mean I need I I'm trying to like I said it's not like you're out here hurting people or breaking people's car doors going through all that, right? You're just hungry. You got to work with me a little bit here. Okay. I'm going to try to do whatever I can to help you out because you're just someone who's hungry and looking for food. But you got to kind of work with me a little bit here. Okay. So, is it Did you grab them off the shelf? It's a yes or a no. I can't remember it. Must have been a long time ago. Okay. Do you remember where in the store you got them from? That would be the chip aisle. The chips aisle. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Um, can one of you go and just check the trash bins around the inside? Oh, I did. You did? Yeah. Oh, did you anything? Not bad. Just chairs in the men's bathroom. Did you put the chairs in front of the in front of the ba the men's bathroom door? I mean, it's not a crime. I just thought that scared the scared the hell out of me when I opened up the men's bathroom side. Huh? I know it would. You know it would. It worked. Good tactic. It's just I don't know, someone coming here for drop off or work or something. So, they're uh I'll just kind of give you a little bit more context. They're waiting to uh confirm a couple things on the video camera, right? But I mean, it's they're they're going to I mean, they're going to see you, right? I mean, we still have to check, but I mean they're going to they're going to see you, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um so, we're just waiting to see that. And then once that happens, um we got to unfort there's not really a way around this. We got to bring it back to the station. Okay. Then we kind of we can kind of start to plan how we wanna how we want to make the situation right. Okay. Because we got to figure out there's some damages under the window. We got to figure out what we're going to do with that. Um but we're also not going to let you starve. Okay. So Okay. So then once that happens, I'll be able to get you back to the station and I'll be able to get you out of those handcuffs. Okay. I know they're not the most comfortable. Were you with anyone else at the store or was it just you? Just me. Just you. Okay. We just want to make sure no one else is, you know, like hiding in a freezer or something like that or I don't I don't want anyone getting locked in a freezer or anything, you know? It was just you. Yeah. Okay. All right. Cuz those those big freezers back there, they get they're big and cold and I don't know how it works if you get the door closed behind you.

One of, uh, one of our detectives just anytime anytime anything like this happens, they have to call someone in. Um, right.

You didn't take anyone hostage in there, right? you're just you're just hungry. So, we'll we'll see what we can do, right?
