That's why I'm here talking to you right
now. Um, so
it's all I can say. I'm so sorry. I pay

meeting up along the strip. Okay. They
weren't supposed to be coming here
today. Officer, they weren't supposed to
be coming here today. No. Okay. They
weren't allowed to come here. They were
told to go up along the strip. Okay.
Well, here's the deal. Um, I'm going to
be honest with you right now. We have
reason to believe that you were here
earlier today. We are reviewing video
right now. And I'm going to be honest
with you. I need honesty from you
because right now, I'm going to be
honest. I've been doing this a long
time. I know when I'm getting lied to
and when I'm not getting lied to. So, I
do not feel like I feel like part of
what you're telling me is true. I do.
Part of it is true. I also feel like
part of it is not true. That's why we're
going through hours and hours of video
camera footage right now. And what I see
is a lady pushing a
stroller.
And we're going to get there soon. We're
going to get there sooner or later. And
as soon as I get there, as soon as I get
the footage to where I needed to be,
there's a good chance you're probably
going to be going to jail. You
understand?
Which these things can go a lot easier
if I get the truth. But right now,
you're making me work for it. You know,
if I have to work for this truth, it's
going to be a lot worse. Very important.
I wasn't here today. Promise you if if I
was here, I'd stand up and help me.
We're working on proving that right now
that you were here. Okay. And it's and I
will this will be probably pursued to
the very end and the fullest extent of
the law once I do prove that. Okay? So
if I mean like I say, if you're lying to
me, that's also going to go down in this
report. Okay? So this is not looking
good right now. I'm going to tell you
that right now. And believe me, we have
more cameras here than most places. So
we are working through that right now. I
understand how how high profile your
pictures would be and how big of a place
it is. I understand that.
Just stay right there. Okay. Okay. Seems
secure.
After the investigation, police then go
to speak to the woman again. Sure who
this other person is with you? You have
a stroller though with a child in it.
And we have a lady in red. Um
Um they came through. Uh we have you
multiple points very good pictures of
you in the park
wearing same thing with the stroller.
Um, you've been identified by several
people as being that same person that
came into the park, which I don't
appreciate appreciate you not telling me
the truth about that after I told you I
needed honesty because didn't I tell you
this would be a lot things would go a
lot better if you're honest with me?
Yes, you did. I did. And I gave you that
chance and you were not honest with me.
So, why were you dishonest with me?
Officer, what are you doing with me?
What's that? What are you going to do
with me? Okay.
All right. Stand up. Put your hands
behind your back right now.
Please. It's Christmas. Don't be so
hard. What's that? It's Christmas. Don't
be so hard.

Grand theft? Yes. What's grand theft?
Grand Theft is when you steal either
goods or services from somebody pandemic
in the whole world. Please don't be so
hard. I didn't steal anything.
We have probable
cause to believe that you did
stay without paying as well as yourself.
I'll pay for the tickets officer. Why
would I'll pay. I'm sorry. Okay. Well,
would you pay? Nobody is perfect. Would
you pay for your own ticket, too? If it
solves a problem, I will officer be
happy to. Why did you enter the park
without paying?
Why did you enter the park without
paying? I never asked. What? Never.
You did? I never asked. So, okay. Come
on. Come this way.
Do you have anything on you uh in your
pockets? Anything like that? All
right. Go ahead and place the repair.

Okay. I only want to be
and that's all. I only come on
holiday. I'm begging all day. I have you
on camera doing something wrong though.
But please, officer. Yeah. And you're
still not admitting you did anything
wrong. You're still telling me that I'm
the one that's wrong. So, I'm really not
willing to discuss this any further.
Officer, you're being very hard. There's
harder people out there than me. Okay. I
agree. I'm not doing anything so bad.
Okay. But you did something that I think
is a pretty big deal. I promise you.
