On the ground now. >> On August 18th, 2022, officer Latham while off duty at Walmart observed a woman through sect of attempting to steal. The woman removed the price tag from a handbag, stuffed various items into it, and walked out without paying for anything. Before she could leave, the officer approached her to investigate. Retail theft is governed by section 812.015 of the Florida statutes. This law covers actions such as taking merchandise without paying, altering price tags, and removing shopping carts from the business premises without permission. In addition to legal penalties, Walmart may also impose store bans on individuals caught shoplifting. >> Bring your cart. Come back inside the store, please. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Bring your cart inside the store, please. >> I'm coming inside the store. >> Now, I don't know what you go back to this door right here. >> Ma'am, push the car inside the store. >> All right. Go ahead and pull your card up over here for me. >> Okay. So, what is y'all talking about? What What is it? Because it's two train. >> Do you have an ID on you? If you want to leave out of here, you're gonna change your address. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. If not, I'll just take you to the county because I really don't care. >> I don't go to jail. >> You don't? Because you can't. >> I don't go to jail. I don't have a record. >> I'm not going to jail. It's not every day someone can make such a statement. Unfortunately for this woman, there's a first time for everything. But she certainly wasn't going down without a fight. >> That's why exactly I don't come here. I don't do not come to this Walmart because y'all be on [ __ ] He said, >> "Okay, first of all, stop. Stop all that. Back away. Back away from the card mail. >> My receipt is right here." >> Okay, give me your receipt >> cuz I have two transactions. >> Okay. Excellent. There's that, Miss Daisy. This purse does not belong to you. This purse belongs to the store. I watched you take this off the shelf and tear the tags off. These do not belong to you. This does not belong to you. I watched you put this inside the purse. Please don't grab any of the stolen merchandise. Please don't grab anything out of the purse. >> You got that? Thank you. I can go into my wallet >> because I've stopped you for a lawful reason. No, you cannot go into your wallet. I don't know what's inside your wallet. >> Okay, that's it. >> Miss Daisy, I'm I'm going to walk her down to the office and then we'll tell her to put my money back on my I would tell you. Let's walk this way cuz I I don't want it. $300 for all my stuff. Walk this way. Please don't be aggressive. >> Walk this way. Pay attention to what I'm telling you then. I am paying attention to >> Please walk this way. >> That's frustrating. >> The woman accused the officers of harassment when asked for a receipt. They checked the bag and found items that didn't belong to her, prompting the officer to escort her to the office for further processing. >> And I'm tired. What is it? You need to communicate. >> I've already told you what you've been stopped for. >> Okay. You said shoplifting with a purse and you didn't pay for your pennies. >> That's correct. >> And I paid for everything else for my >> Okay, that's fine. So, they're going to go through the car, pack my car. I know I said >> go ahead and go ahead and just refund me my money back and I'll go somewhere else. >> That's why usually people come in and they pay for the stuff and they get the lead. >> My stuff, sir. Don't don't don't come at me like that because I'm not a [ __ ] thief. I don't have a record being a thief. >> Okay. But you got caught stealing today, right? >> I got caught stealing today. Okay. If that justifies you >> No, it doesn't work that way. >> What doesn't work that way? >> You don't just get to leave. >> Why do I not get to leave? Because you're being stopped. I have your wallet. >> Okay. Can I have my wallet? >> No, you cannot. Okay, you can keep that. I I'll get something. >> Excuse me. >> Don't bump me, ma'am. Because I didn't I didn't do nothing to stop and have a seat. >> Okay. I am going to have Stop. I'm going to take you to the ground >> because you're hurt. >> Stop. I'm going take you to the ground. >> I'm going to stop. I'm going to take you to the ground. >> My pinky. That's >> I'm telling you right now, if you do not stop tensing up, I'm going to take you to the ground. >> I'll go sit down. >> No. Now you're going to get put in cuffs. >> For what? >> Stop tensing up. I'm going to take you to the ground. >> Her attitude towards the officer after he confronted her said it all. She was angry about being caught for stealing and tried to act as if she was being unlawfully detained. But her arrogance and naivity didn't stop there. After a few minutes of struggle, she was eventually handcuffed by the officer as she tried to leave. Despite being warned, she continued to resist and be uncooperative, escalating the tension. Statute 843.02, Resisting Arrest without violence. Resisting arrest without using violence, such as intentionally obstructing or refusing to follow an officer's orders, is a firstderee misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. >> And I'm I'm trying to get I'm >> I told you to stop. >> What you doing, sir?

Call my dad. I did not try to break those. Get off me and I cannot breathe. >> You'll be able to just say off me. >> Give me your other arm. >> I'mma give you my other arm when you want something, sir. Get off me now. You don't lost your mind. What is your name? And your NAME IS COME OUT MY [ __ ] MOUTH. MOVE. >> Stand up. >> If I CAN IF YOU WAIT. >> Stand up. >> Damn. Okay, give me a second. >> The woman resisted vehemently when being arrested, forcing the officer to subdue and pin her to the ground. Despite being restrained, she continued to resist, trying to break free from the officer's hold. During the struggle, she repeatedly hurled insults, showing contempt, and challenging the officer's authority, which further escalated the situation. Her behavior only worsened the situation. Instead of resisting, she should have remained calm, cooperated with the police, followed orders, and provided information politely. Understanding her rights, avoiding arguments, and focusing on resolving the situation calmly would have led to a better outcome. >> Cuz you've been arrested, man. >> Cuz you're being arrested. >> Being arrested for what? >> You're going to jail. >> Why am I going to jail? >> It's an easy question. Do you want your family to take your personal property or would you rather >> take my personal property? >> Or would you rather put it in a bag and have it taken to counting? So, what do you want us to do? >> I'm telling you, what am I going to jail for? >> How? I didn't even resist you. You're lying. You need >> You need to delete that. I did not resist arrest. I will never resist arrest. I do not resist. I do not resist arrest. What are you talking about? You need to delete that. >> Delete it. >> You can give me my You can give my You can give me my family, my stuff. I I'm telling y'all right now, I'm not going to jail. We might as well tackle me, kill me, [ __ ] Just tell my kids I love them. >> Listen, I don't give a [ __ ] cuz what I'm not going to do is go to jail. >> At this point, nothing she did or said could make the situation any worse. But somehow she managed to. When informed she was being arrested for theft and resisting, she played the victim card again and demanded the officers delete the footage. >> Okay. Where where we're at? We're at the parking lot so I can go and show them this and I can show them that my >> You want to go out this door? >> I am. Where they at? >> Where's the guys? >> They're in the other corner of this parking lot. Be patient. >> What other corner? >> Call my brother now, please. Call my brother now. Call my brother now, please. Because you didn't. >> YOU DID NOT EVEN CALL HIM. You did not even call him. I don't WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE. I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT. STOP. LISTEN. >> For what? For what? For what? No. Don't put no secret on me. Don't put nothing on me. And y'all hurting MY [ __ ] HAND. STOP GRABBING ON ME. I GET YOUR HAND OFF MY [ __ ] NECK. [ __ ] hand. Off my [ __ ] neck. >> Afterwards, when she was escorted to the patrol car and back to jail, she remained defiant and aggressive. The woman was subsequently banned from Walmart and will be charged with trespassing if found on the property again. She was also convicted of resisting arrest and theft. >> I was going to say because I didn't have enough room to hold it, >> so I put it in my purse so I could [music] grab other vials. >> She thought she could keep taking without paying, but this time the law was waiting. >> Oh, stop. Put your hands behind your back, >> ma'am. Ma'am, relax. What's your hands? >> Be careful. >> When the habit of stealing meets the boundaries of the law, what will happen to Karen? A bag full of goods, a familiar attitude, and an ending that Karen did not see coming. >> Oh, stop. Put your hands behind your back, ma'am. Ma'am, relax. The incident began when Target [music] employees discovered that a woman who had been banned for shoplifting had returned to the area and immediately took action. >> She's probably banned from Victory. So, I don't know if they did both, but you guys usually do all county targets. >> Yeah. So, she's probably banned from them and that's where they got all her info. >> Okay. >> And we just think it's the same person. She was in here yesterday doing the same [ __ ] and I'm just sick of her mom cuz when they go in the fitting room like we can't >> Yeah. You can't really see everything. >> Yeah. So hopefully her bag is full and she like will double this was her yesterday. >> Did she steal anything yesterday? >> Yeah, she was looking real hard. But she'll like double select. Like she'll get like three pairs of men's pants, two of the same shirt, two of the same purse, so that when she leaves the basket, it looks like she left everything behind, >> but she never pays for anything. >> When all suspicions became certain, immediate action was taken, but the process of restraining the suspect did not go smoothly. >> She might actually be trying to keep >> Looks like a pink and a purple something. >> Yeah, like she keeps coming out and swapping those sizes. So, also that tells me that she plans on actually taking something today and I know she ain't buying it cuz if she keeps actually trying it on, >> she wants it. She's not going to buy [ __ ] cuz she knows it. >> All right. So, her bag, she's coming out. Her bag is Yeah. [ __ ] pack full of >> Oh, yeah. Did she just dump all that stuff in there? >> Well, she left the hand basket, so her bag is full. So, I'm comfortable stopping her. >> You're stopping her? Well, you're stopping. But yes, you were stopping right after the death. Yes. >> Okay. Ma'am, come here. Come here. Come here. >> What? >> Yo, come here. >> Hey, >> stop. [ __ ] you. >> Oh, >> stop. Put your hands behind your back, >> ma'am. Ma'am, relax. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Relax. >> Hands behind your back. >> What? >> My cuffs. You got yours? >> Ma'am, stop resisting. >> Okay. All right. >> You're about to get a resist. >> I got a concussion. >> Damn. >> From resisting to calling for help, the suspect began mentioning her injuries and turned to complaining about her health, raising doubts about the severity of the fall. Let go of the phone. >> I got to call my kids, >> man. Let go of the phone. >> You're under arrest for shoplifting and now obstruction as well. >> Ma'am, you made me hit my [ __ ] head. >> I didn't make you hit your head. >> EMS. >> Yeah, they're not. >> Y'all made me hit my head. >> No, ma'am. You did that to yourself. >> EMS coming to check. >> My [ __ ] hurting. >> Back up. >> My head spinning. >> EMS is interrupt. >> You have ID on >> your ID back? What's your name?

I need you to stay still. >> She ignored the advice, steadfastly refused treatment, and demanded to be returned to prison. But her previous defiant behavior made the case go beyond a misdemeanor. >> Is that you let these people do their job and look at your head to make sure there's no underlying conditions and then we can go through the process regardless. Ma'am, we're just going to have to take you to another hospital. We have to get you looked at. >> I don't want treatment. That's what I'm telling you. I don't want treatment. I already know. I already know that I'm in pain and I'm hurting. >> Well, they can they can help you with that. >> No, I don't I don't take medicine. >> All right. I I completely understand, man.

So, just let these people do their job and then let us do ours. >> Sir, I'm swear I'm not trying to make your job hard at this point. >> It It seems like the opposite. >> No, I'm not kidding. I promise you from the bottom of my heart and I'm not being a smart ass. I'm telling you that I don't want treatment. I'm telling you. >> Okay. And that's f and that's fine. That's your choice. Okay. But all this because you're a different color than me and this is all this other stuff.

But at the end of the day, you're still going to jail. >> That's fine. I'm I understand that, but I'm telling you that I don't want treatment. I know that I'm hurting. They can't tell me otherwise. >> Okay, ma'am. >> My shoulder is [ __ ] tangling and it's killing me. >> She will face charges of theft and obstruction of justice.

If it happened, she's going to show us. >> It all started when the police were called to a supermarket on suspicion of theft. When confronted, the woman denied everything. But the truth gradually emerged after her winding denials. >> I put the bottom out. She She approached me. Definitely. But she never got it from my purse or nothing like that. I sat it down cuz I didn't I said I'm not going to do this and I left I left out. >> I never I never left out with anything. >> Okay.

If you want to tell me, that's fine. Otherwise, we'll just stand by until the store tells us what happened. >> Why did you just have a bag? >> I I don't know. I just got here.

When questioned, the suspect admitted to taking about $3,000, 0, and began to reveal many surprising details. You're around the cashier area, so you do take returns and take people, you check people out, stuff like that. Okay. It's been going on for a few weeks now. How how are we doing this? Like explain to me so I can better better understand how how we went from working here to slightly taking some cash out at a time. house. >> How How were we doing it though? Were we checking someone out when we were doing it or were you just randomly go to the register, open it up, take out Were you taking out like $20 at a time or $100 at You were taking $100 out at a time every single time. Okay. So, every single time you did it, you were taking money $100 out every single time. And how much would you say you you took from the tills? >> Over 2,000. Have you ever What did you do with the cash after you took the every time you took the hundred out? Destiny admitted to taking about $100 zero cents directly from the cash register several times, justifying it as helping her sick grandmother and taking care of household expenses. >> Be nice to kind of treat her. It wasn't cheap. She was just sick. >> She's sick. So, you're helping pay for medical bills or something or is there anything else that you can remember about when you took these took the $100 at a time? Were you taking them? Let's Let's focus on the money now. Were you taking like 20s or were you taking a $100 bill? So, it was a $100 bill every time. Okay. And you said it's up to 2,000. You took over $2,000. I know this is hard for you, Destiny, but I I need a verbal, okay? Or headshake or something? >> Okay. >> New message. >> Is there anything that you want to add to what you told me? And was it Let me ask you this. When you were taking the money from the tills, was it only at the cashiers area? Did you go to any other tills and take them or? >> It was just the where the department I work in. >> So, just had customer service then? >> Yes. Okay. >> Can I can I add something? Can I ask a question? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. So, when we just talked a few minutes ago, right, we talked about you taking the cash in the registers. It was more than $100 each time, right? So, last night we you talked about yesterday what you took from the registers, right? Was over $1,000, right? >> That you took out. >> Do you remember what the fir the first time you did it? Do you remember what the total amount was that you took out? When do you remember any at any time how much you took out every time you went to the till? >> Usually four two to four. So we're talking couple hundred every time we took money out from the cashiers. Okay. >> So in our discussion we already we talked about the dollar amount, right? And she wrote a written statement of $3,000, right? Okay. That's important to stop. >> Okay. >> Do we have any of this money? Did it go into your bank account? Anything like that? You just kept all the cash. >> Do you still have any of that cash left? Anything that you've taken from Home Depot, you spent all of it. >> She started out with $2,000. Then it increased a few hundred at a time, sometimes thousands. Police suspect she was hiding more than she was admitting. Um, we have, you know, just a packet for you that CIT puts together. So, once we get um, two or three hits on this, we send it to the central investigation team. >> They go in, they pull all the video, they pull everything that they need, and they send me a pattern. And then we go in and we um, >> investigate it a little bit more. >> So, she is young. Um, she was 19, >> so she's not a minor. Um, do you do the diversion program >> uh, for stuff like this? No. >> Okay. This is this is a felony amount. I'll be honest. >> That's what I thought. I just >> She's going to probably leave in handcuffs. >> Well, that's She should leave. >> Yeah. Absolutely. No, it's what happens when you steal cash from your business. >> Okay. So, about I'd say a week and a half ago, I received an email from the central investigation team in regard to Destiny. We had cash shortages. Um competitive, you know, every other day we had cash shortages. So once they did their investigation, they determined that Destiny could be seen, clearly be seen um on camera popping open the register with a cash strip boy and removing cash, placing it in her pocket. We sat down with her, discussed exactly what happened. She admitted to taking $3,000 worth of money from the registers, stated it was for her grandmother. Um she's written a statement. U I've witnessed I have a statement and so does um the other witness. >> And to your knowledge, she's been taking large sums of cash. Yes. Cash every time. >> Yes, sir. Yesterday we had a $1,200 shortage. >> Video and internal report show Destiny repeatedly withdrawing money outside of the transaction, taking $1,800 just the other day. Enough to constitute grand theft. And it's not over yet. >> It seems like at least five different days. Okay. you were seen on camera taking multiple plethora of money from the tills. Okay. And I'm just I need to get an exact dollar amount. And someone who takes cash, they go home and count it. Okay? I know you went home and counted it. That's there's no ifs or buts about that >> cuz you just didn't take the money and then go, "Oh, I'm just going to spend this." So, I need you with your to the best of your knowledge to just give me the best estimated number of how much money that you took. How much? >> Three. >> Three. >> Because from what I'm seeing, we're talking more than that. >> I mean, alone yesterday, you took about $1,800. Okay. I think you know that. >> Are you sure? You're 100% sure you did not take over $5,000? I'm pretty sure. >> Okay. I'm not trying to push it, but I'm just >> But you know I you know that I know the you know the amount. Okay. I know that kind of sound a little bit confusing, >> but >> I know you know the amount of money that you took. It might not be to the exact dollar, but >> So, we're we're talking about five you took over up to $5,000. >> Is that correct? >> You want to amend your statement and add five in there instead? Yeah, it's fine. I know you're not going to know the exact dates, but do you remember like what day of the week it was when you did it at least or anything like that? >> No. >> No, just whenever you were working. >> Not every shift. >> Not every shift, >> but just when you [music] when you thought the clo the coast was clear and you were able to get into the tail without anyone seeing. So, if you haven't figured it out already, you are going to be placed under arrest. Okay. So, we are going to head down to the jail. We will be able to bond out. Okay. >> She was charged with grand theft in the amount of $5,000. >> You need to leave the premises or you're going to be arrested for trespass. >> I'm not under arrest.
