Number five, Five Below employees $1,400 secret exposed. A Five Below employee is arrested after allegedly running a fraudulent cash void scam that totaled over $1,400 in stolen money. Here's what happens when the officers enter the scene. >> They have making the loss prevention monitor. >> Hey, how about talk to us over here before we go in? >> So, how long has this been happening? >> Well, I find out today, but the loss manager, he's been checking and he came today with a folder with all the day that she been stealing with with the day with the camera and all the information. And they got a folder for you guys and they're making the interview right now. >> Around how much money is it so far? >> If I tell you, I can be wrong. But he was selling almost I said more than $1,500. >> 1,500. Okay. >> You guys pressing charges? >> I guess. Yes. >> You guess or you the money at the store, but I'm not the one that conducting the >> Oh, the LPO is in there and he's Okay. Yeah. She's right now inside with the employee in the >> district being somewhat cooperative. >> I came out from the office. Yeah. I don't know. Nothing was going on. >> You just sent me a text message. Call the police. >> Okay. Cool. >> Okay. Sorry. >> Oh, you're fine. >> Isn't he on something else? He's on another 56. >> Uh, this is store international drive. >> Man, can we speak up? Yes, sir. Okay. During the investigation, the loss prevention officer explains the scam to police and confirms the total amount stolen. >> How you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> Good. Nice to meet you. I'm working with asset protection. Um, so the situation I have is um I have the state of Florida. I review exception reports and so on. We have an exceptional report called midvoid report that shows whenever somebody may be uh voiding a sale and keeping the cash instead of returning it. And here customers get money and they just go >> and that's what she was doing. She started uh December 10th and on December 19th she conducted her first fraudulent uh midvoid. Okay. >> Uh I observed that and I've been sampling all the way through. We determined, and I have a pack I put together for you here, uh, that there was a total of 20,23, but when I took out the ones that were legitimate, the total was 1423. 143. Yes, ma'am. And I have it there. I have that packet for you. Um, I can burn all the video. I know that sometimes you all give it to a detective and then I >> No, that's us. >> Okay, great. Okay, thank you. So, um, >> and you call you call it a midvoid? >> Uh, it's called a a midvoid. Yes. So basically they they ring the register and before they hit total the customer gives them the cash and they walk away. All they have to do is hit midvoid. It cancels the sale. They can keep the cash. >> Okay. >> But it does capture that there was a midwayo that occurred. I then would watch the customer come up, watch the cash exchange, watch the drawer not open. Customer walks away and either conceal it under the drawer or the pocket or whatever. And I have at least 15 or 20 sample videos that I saved on that. offer this. >> I'm sorry. >> Call for her. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. What is her What is her name? >> Her name is She is uh expecting in April. This is She disclosed this to me. Um she's been very cooperative, very apologetic. She said that she has a 17-year-old daughter, that they're homeless uh and that uh she was stealing the money in order to take care of them. I tend to believe her. She seems to be very believable. Uh so, you know, I have a heart. I feel bad for her, but I have a job I have to do. And we pretty much prosecute over $500. Um, >> so you do want to prosecute. >> He also notes that the employee has been honest and cooperative. While the company decides to move forward with prosecution, he asks the officers to go easy on her and treat her with kindness. >> Under the circumstances, I don't know what your protocol is. If you feel that you can appear or release her, whatever that is lonely, >> felony amount, so we can't do no fear. >> Whatever whatever you all need to do. Uh I'm I'm just one, you know, her to be obviously treated as best as she can under her circumstances, but that's where we're at right now. Okay. Can you >> She's writing a statement. So, >> okay. Um somebody for your writing a statement yet. >> Uh I have not written the statement, but I can. >> You can. Um can you give me the date? >> Uh date of the first. The first offense would have been on uh December 19th. Last offense on 125 or excuse me 25. So, first, >> last, and then you gave it December 10th. What was the December 10th? >> December 10th is her start date >> when she started working here. >> Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. >> Oh, you're fine. >> And what I did was I made up a little like a paragraph summary of what I just told you and I actually included some screenshots. Uh, I know that a lot of cases, um, you know, I can go back later and I can take everything from my computer and put on a thumb drive and send it to you and I'll have those with me right now. Yeah. I can give you um I can either give you a link and you can actually upload all that to our link and it goes directly into our >> take it'll take a lot of lot of lot of stuff. >> Yeah. And if it if you need more like it'll I think it I think it accepts like 20 like videos and still pictures or whatnot. Um you can I can give you another link and then so I'll give you my information then you can contact me. Um >> I did not enter into a restitution agreement. We usually do that under 500. Uh she said, "Yeah, if I'm given an opportunity to pick it up, but I didn't do that cuz I know that that can cause a conflict if I enter into that a lot of times." Is this is that fact in Florida? >> Um I don't know. I'm still learning the whole area. Um but you just have to let me know what we like. I'll talk to my I can talk to my sergeant, talk to my partner um for anything that you guys are willing to do because if you're wanting to do a restitution um with an agreement, but again, that becomes I believe it's a it's >> then it becomes civil. >> Yeah. and then and then if she decides not to pay him back. >> Even with empathy for her situation, the company proceeds since the amount stolen exceeds the felony threshold. >> My boss said never 500. We just let the courts steal what they that's perfectly fine. That's why I didn't enter into it. >> And there comes a point to where you you can only feel bad for somebody for so much, but she you know, >> don't get me wrong, I'm not bleeding hard. I've been doing this for a long time. But um maybe it's because I'm a grandfather now. I don't know. >> No, I get that. You have a heart. You have you have compassion. And god dang, you know, 17y old and especially when you know you you know the difference when they're not when they're not BSing you. >> I was like, you know, I just feel bad for people's circumstance. But anyway, we have to prosecute. >> That's totally understandable. Um, let me go get you started on a statement if and then I'll go in and speak with her. Um, and then we'll go about it. >> Okay. Very good. >> You mind if I talk to her for a second? >> Hello. Are you Latoya? >> All right. I'm just going to read something off for you real quick. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during question. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you. >> Has anybody threatened you to talk to me today? >> Do you understand your rights? >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, what happened?

I I admitted to everything. >> I'm I'm pregnant. >> Yeah, I understand. >> We um sometimes we sleep on the steps. >> Mhm. >> Well, the hotel we at sometime >> So, how how are you taking money? >> Like sometimes they overpay me, I take it, put it in my pocket. >> Okay. >> Or >> who who would overpay you? >> The customer. >> The customer. They they want to ask for change or >> No, they don't ask for change or sometimes I um I pull out a ticket. It don't be like it don't be it be like 20 bucks or something like that just to feed us for that night and stuff like that >> or whatever. But >> she admits to stealing the money but explains it was out of desperation, saying she needed it to cover food and hotel costs. How many times do you believe you've done this? >> It started in December, but I we didn't we didn't um we didn't start sleeping on the bench until I I said January, but I don't remember taking anything in December, but I I was honest to the whole thing.

The only thing it started it was I thought it started um after the 31st. My first time this >> after the 31st of December. Okay. >> Uhhuh. Um we didn't have no one to sleep. >> What's the most you've taken in like one period of time? >> Uh it it usually be just like 20 bucks here, 20 bucks there >> throughout a shift. You might do it multiple times. Okay. I >> I mean for cuz 1400 that that adds up if you're taking it at 20, you know, $20. >> That's how he said they added it up and stuff like that, but >> that's that's I know that's what I take. Like I >> And when when did you start again? December. >> I don't remember when it start. I think 12th 14th and stuff like that. >> Okay. >> Oh. Well, let me talk to the manager and I'll come back.

Talk to her about something. >> Your Which one? Your backpack. All right. Yeah, the backpack's going to go with her daughter. Okay. >> So, just leave it out of the car. >> No, you're not good. We'll talk to her. You want to just take it since I >> Everything can go to the daughter. >> Her small amounts added up fast. $1,432.71 to be exact. And now she's facing a grand theft charge. Number four, police arrest teacher after showing up to class intoxicated. A male teacher is arrested for DUI after showing up to work intoxicated and later admitting to driving under the influence of alcohol and prescription medication. By the time police arrive, the man has already left the school grounds. >> Hey, how are you? >> Good. How you doing? >> Good. So, we got called about you. Okay. I guess you showed up to work and they thought you were intoxicated and the PD called us to check on you. They thought you might be coming home. Um, that's basically where we're at. Okay. Okay. >> Is there any reason they think you're too impaired to work or anything like that? I mean, I guess you didn't do a breathalyzer or something or I mean, what's really going on? That's the only information I have. >> No, I started a new um sleep med. >> Okay. >> It's high dosage. >> Yeah. Do you feel okay? Okay. I mean, you think it's maybe just the dosage of the sleep med and messing with you a little bit? >> Oh, for sure. >> Okay. No alcohol though. Just the medication. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's the medication that they gave you? >> Trazadone. >> Trazadone. Okay. >> 15 millig. >> Okay. Is that more than you would I mean, let me ask you this. Have you been on that for a while? Is it just up the dosage or >> I was up on 50 and they bumped it 100. Um. >> Okay. >> And I am just >> just a little drowsy, a little sleepy maybe. Just messing with you a little bit. >> Oh, yeah. For sure. Okay. All right. Can you do me a favor? Can I just see your eyes real quick? Can you just look at me? Okay. Are you able to actually Let's just do this again cuz I I want to make sure that you're okay. Okay. Obviously, the drive and everything. That's the call that we got. All right. Um I don't know if it's medication or something else going on with you, but again, just the nature of what we got the call for and everything and you driving. >> I want to make sure that you're indeed in in some shape to drive. Okay. So, I'm going to have you come out here and just hang out by my bumper. We're going to do a couple of tests and hopefully we'll get you inside. >> I'm home. >> I know. But you were also driving down Darl and came back from work. So, you were not home. You were driving. I know you're home now. I understand that. >> Why can't I just go into my home? >> Listen, like I explained to you, okay? Got a call about you being impaired at work. Madina PD called us to check on you, but they thought you were driving home. Okay. Thought you were impaired to be driving and they want us to check on you. Okay. That's why I stopped you. Okay. You're saying you got on new medication and it's messing with you. >> Well, that may be. And if that's really the case, man, and you're good, that's that's fine. Okay. We'll get you inside and go. >> What's going to happen? >> What do you mean? He denies drinking alcohol and claims the medication is the only reason for his condition. The man flatly denies drinking, claiming medication alone explains his condition. Yet officers detect the telltale signs, slurred speech and the odor of alcohol. >> What's going to happen? Like I I'm home. >> Mhm. >> Wait. But again, I also followed you down road. Okay. It's not like I found you in a parking lot, you know, with no keys and you're just parked. Okay. You were indeed driving. Okay. Okay. And there was concerns about your driving because of the call about you being impaired at work that we got a call from another police department to check on your welfare and everything like that. Okay. That's where we're at. All right. So again, I'll make sure that you were indeed okay to drive and if that's the case, you'll walk inside, do what you got to do with your medication and go on about your day. All right. But for for this point, I'm going to at least check you, make sure that you're not impaired cuz again, you are driving and we'll go from there. All righty. >> So, >> what's that? >> I disagree. >> Okay. I'm sorry you disagree. Okay. If if this goes where it might go, then you can talk to an attorney about that. But again, we're not there yet. All right. I still got to do what I got to do. >> All right. If you want to just um in a minute, do you want to hit that vape again one more time and then just leave that in the car for me and then we'll come out here, do a couple of tests, and go from there. >> I'm not doing the test. You're >> not going to do any tests? >> No. >> Okay. No test whatsoever. >> I need to make some phone calls. >> Okay. Well, we're not going to do that right now. Okay. You're going to get out and do these tests or we're going to we're going to go a different direction. Okay. What a good direction. >> The direction is I'm You're barely able to talk to me. I smelled a whiff of alcohol talking to you. You've admitted to going over Trazadone 150 millig. Okay. It's obvious that something's messed up with you at the moment. If you refuse to take any kind of test to again convince me that you are indeed okay to drive, then we're probably just going to go straight to arresting you. Okay? I' I'd like to give you the chance to go through those tests, but based on what I'm seeing right at this very moment, it's it's not you're in no shape to drive. Okay? So, that's kind of your options. Okay? You can get out and perform these tests for me or I will go with my initial observations of you and just arrest you for OBI right now. Does that make sense to you? >> But I'm home. >> Being home has nothing to do with this. >> I'm home. >> Right. But you drove home. You drove home right there. >> Right. Correct. But you drove to Madina and then from Madina to home. >> Given multiple opportunities to perform sobriety tests, he refuses each one. >> Who are you trying to call with her right now? >> My girlfriend. >> And what's she going to do for you? at the moment. >> I don't understand what's going on. >> I explained to you about five times what's going on. All right. There's not much more I can explain to you. >> Hello. Hey, they called the STO police. So, yeah, they're trying to get me to test. I'm literally in my parking lot about to walk in. I'm still coming off the transit. Like, I don't know what to do. I took it at like 2 3:00 a.m. I overtook it. I'm not going to fight you, by the way. >> I know. I understand. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We still got to do a certain set of processes here, though. Okay. So, I'll give you another minute to talk to girlfriend, but then we got to >> Yeah. >> do what we got to do. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Can I write down her number? >> Yeah. Listen again, sir. We're not even to the point where I'm going to pull you out and just arrest you right now. Okay. I'd like to perform tests on you. Okay. Standardized field sobriety testing. If in if indeed you can show that you're not impaired, then you're already home and you go back inside and there's nothing else we're doing. Okay. So, >> but I'm home. >> I I you said that. I get that. But you drove. The issue is you drove and you drove home. All right. I got behind you on the main roadway of State Route 91 right here. >> Again, I didn't find you in a parking lot by yourself. It is what it is, man. You drove your car. Okay. If you're not impaired, that that's fine. And you know, you get your medication adjusted, but we're kind of past the point of your home and everything like that. So >> I took 700 mg last night. >> That's offense. Okay. So listen, I want to do a couple of tests with your eyes. I'd like to do a walk and turn test and a one leg stand test on you. That's the standardized wheel of body test. >> I'm going to fail. >> Why would you think you're going to fail? Is it because of the medication? >> Yes. >> Okay. Are you willing to at least try or No. >> No. >> You don't want to try any tests at all? You just think you're beyond impaired to be able to do any kind of test. >> That's why I told them I'm coming home today. >> The teacher admits he's unlikely to pass due to the effects of the medication, revealing he took 700 mg of a sleeping aid. >> Right. Well, obviously again, if if you if you were in too impaired to go to work, okay, you think it was the right thing to drive home >> at 8:15 and I needed to get home. I told them that specifically. >> Okay. Well, they again they called Madina to police because they were concerned that you're driving a vehicle because of whatever state that they observed and again my my initial observations of you as well. I'm concerned as well as far as driving a car. Okay. Medication's not illegal. I get that. >> Because I took 700 mg of Drazol. >> What is What are you supposed to take? How many are you prescribed? >> 150. >> You took 700? >> Yeah. >> Why'd you take 700? >> Because I had an argument with my girlfriend and I wanted to pass out. >> You want to pass out? Okay. >> Yeah. Have you ever taken that much before? Have you ever taken 700 before? >> No. >> You think that was a good idea to take >> No. >> Five times the amount of medication and go drive a car. >> It was terrible. >> It's a terrible idea, right? Okay. So, again, it it is my job to at least attempt to do that's that's what I have to do. Okay. If you refuse to do all those tests, I'm going to go with my observations right here and we're just going to get the process done. Do you want to >> So, I'm going to get arrested. >> If you refuse all the tests, then then yes, that's that's we're going to go straight to arresting you and not going to give you a chance to even do those. I mean, that's that's your opportunity now. No, I appreciate it. >> Okay. You don't want to do any kind of testing whatsoever. Do you at least try? Again, that's I have to at least give you the opportunity to perform them. Okay. >> Do you want to or no? >> Sure. >> Okay. Take a seat on my bumper right here. Just rest up against that and look at me. And then, if you don't mind, can you flip the glasses above your head for me? Do you have any medical problems I need to worry about? Any major injuries, any major conditions, anything like that? >> Yes. I have a condition where my eyes flicker. >> What is that condition? >> The condition I don't know. I would have to go inside and get paid for it. >> Is that prescribed from a doctor? Some kind of condition from your eyes? >> Okay. >> When asked if he had any injuries or conditions that might prevent him from completing the sobriety test properly, this is his response. >> By flicker, what do you mean by flicker? They flicker back and forth. You ever had a major head injury or anything like that? >> Oh yeah. Seven. >> When was that? >> Seven of them. >> Seven of them. >> Mhm. >> From when? >> From 2014 to 20 or 2004 to 2018. Okay. What's the nature of those injuries? How'd you get those? >> Football. >> Football. Okay. Like concussions and things or Okay. >> Okay. Ever had like a CT scan to confirm what kind of injuries you have or anything like that? Okay. What was the most recent injury? >> Most recent was 2019. >> And what was that? Concussion or something else or? >> Concussion. >> Okay. You take medication for those injuries? >> No. >> Okay. So, the tradone, you're on that for what? >> For sleep. >> For sleep. Okay. Any other medications? A lot. >> Go ahead and let me hear them all. Go ahead. Uh, >> and what's that for? Um, bipolar. Okay. I'm on for bipolar. I'm on for anxiety. I'm on for high blood pressure. I'm on for high blood pressure. And I'm on for high trig. >> Okay. Besides prescribed medications, have you consumed anything else today as far as any alcohol? Anything like that? >> The trazadone. >> Just the trazadone. Okay. But that's prescribed to you, right? For the sleep. Okay. And you said you took 700? >> Yes. >> When was that? When did you take those? around 4:00 a.m. >> 4:00 a.m. Okay. And you're supposed to take 150. >> Mhm. >> How often are you supposed to take it per day? >> Once. >> Just once. >> Mhm. >> Okay. You said you were in an argument with your girlfriends. I want to go go to sleep, pass out. Yes. While you teleport medication. Okay. All right. So again, I want to look at your eyes. Okay. Sure. >> There's certain things that alcohol and other indicate to us whether you're not going to be it's going to be the same thing. Yeah. >> Okay. And then if you're able to, I'd like to do some walking tests. Okay. That's part of the standardized testing. Okay. Again, it's >> I already know I'm going to fail. >> Despite listing several reasons why he'd likely fail, the officer decides to move forward with the tests. >> I still got to go to the pace if you're willing to do it. What you have to do. Okay. So, for now, I'd like you to watch my pen. Okay. I'm going to wave it in front of your face. >> I still have to observe myself. Again, there's there's a process to what we do as far as OBI investigations, things like that. >> I appreciate you say it's going to flicker. I appreciate you giving me a heads up with your injuries and everything. Y >> um I still got to articulate what I saw myself. >> All right. You had no recent injuries. 2019 is the last injury you had. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, what I want you to do is look at the tip of my pen right up here with your eyes and your eyes only. You understand that? >> Mhm. >> So, your head move a little bit if that helps you. Just um put your palms against your cheeks. Okay. Okay. And we're trying not to move our head at all. All right. All right, bear with me. Take a break. Give your eyes a second to rest. One more thing with the eyes. Okay, so again, just keep watching the tip of that pen for me. Mhm. Same thing on this side. Keep watching it for me. Same thing one more time each eye. All right. All right. Take a quick break. We got one more eye thing and then we're going to do a little bit of walking if that's okay with you. Problems walking in general as far as >> right now with trazen. Yeah. Okay. What's the What's the tres make just tired? I mean, what is >> Oh, it makes me just groggy. And it makes me. >> After the eye test, he's instructed to perform the walk and turn. The question is, can he push through or is he simply too intoxicated to even try? >> Oh, sleepy. >> Yeah. Makes me struggle. That's why like I had another meeting at 10:30 and I canled it to come home to just go to bed. >> Understand? >> Cuz I took too much and understood. So, do you have any problems walking for me to try? >> Any injuries that would prevent you from doing so? >> Left ankle sprain. >> What's wrong with your left ankle? >> Oh, I had a deep sprain in the left ankle. >> When was that? >> 20 2012. >> 2012. Did you get any treatment for that or anything? >> I did, but I didn't do physical therapy. >> Still bother you today? >> Yes. >> Okay. All righty. In general, do you walk normally though or is that mess with that? I still walk with a crook. >> With a crook. Okay. Well, we're going to try. Okay. So, let's come on down over here. >> We got a nice straight line in the parking lot. So, just stand right there for me. Okay. >> What I want you to do on that line. Okay. Left foot down. >> Yeah. Yep. >> Left foot down on that line in front of you. Right foot in front of it. Heel to toe. Kind of like this. Mhm. >> And just stay like that. Can you get your heel and toe together? Kind of like I'm standing. >> Yep. >> You able to touch them? Okay. Hands down at your side like this. And I want you to stay like that for a minute until I tell you to move. Okay? So, whenever I tell you to, you're going to be taking nine steps down that line, heel to toe. >> All right? I want you to look down at your feet while you're doing that. Count the steps out loud and keep your hands down at your side. >> Okay? It's going to look similar to this. Again, right here. One, two, three. I showed you three. You're going to go to nine. Right? When you get to your ninth step, keep this left foot in front of you planted. Cheers of small steps. Turn yourself around >> and back down to where you came. >> Sure. >> Nine more steps. Does that make sense to you? Do you have any questions at all? No. >> Whenever you're ready, go ahead and try that for me. >> At this point, it's obvious he's walking straight into trouble. >> All right, listen. If you're going to get hurt, we'll stop. But if you want to keep continuing to try >> get hurt. >> Okay, come on up here for a second. I don't want you to get hurt.

There was no merchandise ever coming back because she was typing them in manually. >> So, she would take the cash out, put in her pocket. >> She would either keep the receipt or research the transactions for your electronic journal to find the transactions valuable enough to proceed to conceal cash. >> Gotcha. >> And I'm assuming sketchers, they want to prosecute. >> Absolutely. All right. So, just to clarify, >> she would ring out the order. The person that purchased the shoes or whatever the merchandise, they would take the merchandise out the store. >> Hours later, hour later, short time frame a refund at which time the register would open and she would take the cash out and pocket it. Right. Gotcha. And just I kind of put all the detail here. These are when the sales the returns took place.

You want this in your truck or is it me? >> Definitely not. Not by me. >> She's officially charged with a scheme did a def fraud. Number one, fleeing the scene didn't save him from police. A man is arrested at his job after fleeing the scene of a crash earlier that morning. Let's take a look at what happens next. >> What did he look like? >> Say middle-aged Caucasian male. small handlebar mustache. >> How does pressing charges work? >> That's up to the state. Okay. >> So, uh we'll go find them and you know, if we have probable cause to arrest them, we will. Okay. From what he's saying is he was in the right time lane and the guy went around to the right. >> Deputies trace the vehicle to a nearby plant nursery where the suspect works. >> I'm looking to see if you have an employee there that drives a it's like a brown or tan Honda CRV. It's a SUV. likely would have just gotten to work about 101 15 minutes ago. >> Oh, I think I do. Yes. >> Yeah. Um he was wearing a Pender shirt. He was involved in a crash and left. I need his information so I can get a hold of him. Is he still there? >> Um he is. Yeah. >> Okay. Um if you want to just let him know not to leave. >> Um >> yeah, he's working with my one of with my manager down there. So, we're on watering plants. So, he's >> Okay. >> He's here. So, I'm not going to I'm not going to say anything if that's okay. If you want me >> Yeah. No, I I don't want you to. Um >> the Is he >> required to be dispatched to do anything today or is he supposed to just be working there on the grounds? >> He's just supposed to be working on the grounds. >> Okay. And uh what's his name? >> Yeah, he was uh he he was involved in a crash uh hit and run actually. You tried to >> Oh, man. >> Somebody was in a right turn lane. >> I think this is I think this is his I think it's his vehicle, but um I can go check down there and see. I don't I don't know. I don't I don't take any of their license numbers or anything like that, but I can go like down there. Um it's just on the other side of the property. If you give me a few moments, I can walk down there and just confirm that that's him. >> Okay. Sure. >> But I I think that's it. >> I see that has a brown vehicle. >> I appreciate it. >> Yeah. I'm so sorry. >> No, it's you have no reason to apologize. >> Okay. I know. But yeah, just that's not what I would expect from anybody. >> How are you today? >> Okay. Uh, is Zach here? >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. >> No, I didn't know if he called. He said he had some issues this morning. Sorry. >> No, he didn't call us. >> Okay. After verifying with management that the man is on site, officers locate him and begin asking questions. >> Where's he What did um What did Zach tell you happened today? >> Oh, no. He was in a little fender bender. I guess he he had taken care of it. So, >> that's I didn't know if he called you. I saw you pulling in. >> How did he take care of it? Did he tell you? >> I don't know. >> No. Oh, okay. >> I don't know. >> All right. Thanks. Is Zach here? >> Yeah. And I did look at the car and I took a picture of the license plate. >> I took a picture of it also. I guess he told one of the employees over there that he was involved in a fender vendor this morning, but I guess told her that he took care of it or something. I don't know. >> Okay. So, you want me to show you that? >> Yeah. >> All right. Y for you. >> Oh, okay. >> How's it going? >> It's okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah. A guy hit me from behind. I was turning right on that busy intersection there, doing everything perfect. Everything was on. And um I turned right and he smashed into me. I had a big white truck. He obviously was looking on his phone. I popped out cuz I was trying to run to work here. I'm new here, so I was a little nervous. And then I said, "Did you hit anything?" And then he was saying, "You did this. You did that." I'm going, "Dude, you hit me from behind, you know." And then um I just took a picture cuz I wanted to get to work really fast. And I didn't even really notice. It looked like my car was okay, but actually he broke the back of my left um signal. He smashed it, I noticed. So, I came into work. Then I said, "Oh," and I wasn't even late to work. So, and then I said to um my manager, you know, this happened. And she goes, "Next time, just stop, call here, tell them D." But I didn't think anything had happened. He was being obnoxious. I just thought, "Just get to work." I took a picture of his license, but it came out fuzzy. I can show you, so I couldn't really see it. So then I took a But I'm sure his car was fine. He has a giant thing. It was me. I think I was completely in the right. And I would like to file for insurance because, you know, I think it's clear what happened there. >> The man admits he didn't provide any of his details to the other driver. He insists he was not at fault and that the crash wasn't serious enough to warrant further action. Okay. I need you to walk up front with me. >> All right. >> Yeah, I'll have one. >> You can you can take your apron off and all that kind of stuff. You're not going to need that right now. >> Okay. >> Here. >> Yeah. Let's take a walk. Do you have your ID on you? >> It's it's in my car. >> You got a knife on you or anything like that? >> No. >> Pruning shears. Okay. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. I thought when I got out he would at least say I'm sorry. uh that section that's very scary, you know, turning right onto 713. I was just being I was in the right lane, had my signal on, was just being a little cautious and was moving in and then he hit me. And you can see >> Yeah. I thought you said nothing happened to your car, though. >> I didn't see it at first, but >> it it it was >> You told me that you took a photo of his license. Do you have that on you? I do, but um my phone is up there. But it was real blurry, you know. Uh it was a white truck. Maybe you can read the maybe you can do some special thing to read the numbers. But uh >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Did you provide him with any of your information? >> No, I didn't think anything had happened. I was, like I said, I was worried. This is a new job. I've only been here a week and a half. >> What are you looking for in your car? >> I was going to get my ID, but >> Oh, no. Yeah. All right. Fine. All right. And um let's go to the side. Yeah. So, I didn't, you know what I mean? It's like all this traffic's happening. It was an angle. I didn't If you look here, it looks like nothing happened. He hit me and I felt the jolt, but I felt like I'm okay. >> So, everything over here. >> Mhm. Everything over there. >> Do me a favor. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Put your palms together. Put your hand Put your palms together. >> Put your palms together. Yeah. There you go. >> All right. I'm placing you under arrest for hitting run. Jake, your version of the story is very different from reality. Oh, >> okay. You went around the gentleman that was already in a right turn lane and there's a camera there at that intersection. Hit his vehicle. >> I did. >> You did? Despite his excuses, officers explained that the crash was actually caused by him illegally passing another car in the bike lane before making contact and then you left without providing any information. Okay. >> That wasn't my experience at all. >> Okay. Well, there's reality and then there's your experience. Well, >> so the reality of what happened is what I just explained to you. >> How did I go around him when um when >> Well, there's a bicycle lane and people do it all the time when they're in a rush. >> I didn't, >> which is probably why you told him you were in a rush and had to get to work. >> He was always He was behind me the entire time. How could I have ever been gone around him? He was behind me the entire time. >> Let's walk over to your car for a second. Wait, how is Could I have gone around him when I was in front of him the entire time? >> Are you asking me to explain the possibility of how that's possible or are you asking me to recreate an event that I wasn't there for? >> Well, okay. Because the possibility aspect of it is that people do it all the time even though it's illegal because they're in a rush and you already told me you were in a rush and his account of the events makes much more sense than yours because he actually stayed on the scene of a crash which is required by Florida state statute. >> I'm new to Florida so I don't know all these things. I just thought it's okay. >> Do you have anything inside your shoes? >> No. >> I'm taking you to jail for hit and run. Let me know now if there's anything so we can deal with it now. Can I call my >> rather than at Listen to me for a second. Do you have any contraband on you at all? >> No. >> Okay. >> Come with me. I'll come back for your stuff. >> Can I get my Can I call my friend? I don't even have my phone. Can I get my phone? >> I will grab your phone for you. Sure. >> I'm new to Florida. I don't understand all these things. He obviously has been in other >> He said that that's not how it's done, buddy. And and obviously he's been >> right. He probably should have should have listened to him. >> I just was nervous about work. I'm new here. >> I'm pretty sure there's no state in the United States that says, "Hey, you can get in an accident and then leave." >> I didn't I I haven't been in an accident in like like 20 years. >> During their discussion, the man appears unaware of the legal consequences of his actions, repeatedly stressing that he's new to the area and doesn't know the local traffic laws. >> You're just shooting me a whole bunch of excuses, man. Instead of taking responsibility. >> Well, I just don't know. Go ahead and get it. >> All right. Can I get my phone? >> I I already told you. You're You're You're repeating yourself a lot now. So, >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> I told you I'll get your phone for you. >> This is a new experience for me. >> Okay. Stuff. >> Yeah, that's it. I didn't know if you needed anything else. >> Okay. That stuff can probably stay here. Okay. >> Um he'll have a bond, so he can get out with probably within a couple hours. So, >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right. Cool. All right. >> Thank you. Have a good one. >> Yeah. You too. Thank you. Um his account is that the guy um in the Tacoma was behind him the entire time and came up and hit him from behind, >> which wouldn't wouldn't make sense based on where the damage is, but we still need to dispel that the best that we can, >> right? >> Um and you know, if there's video footage, great. If not, we'll look at the damage again. >> Okay. >> So, but obviously he's not going to jail because he was involved in a crash. She was going to jail because he got involved in a crash and left. >> Right. >> So, >> do you have a driver's license? Because when I look you up, you don't have a Florida driver's license for. >> He continues to show confusion and tries to frame his behavior as an honest mistake made in a rush to get to work. >> Well, you said it was a big truck. It wasn't a big truck. It was a small white truck. >> It was a Toyota Tacoma factory, not lifted or anything. >> And he did have damage. He had a lot of damage actually. >> See, your Massachusetts license has expired as well. Give me a quick rundown before we get out real quick on how the crash happened again. >> Now, this is a se like again I told you before this is a >> completely different investigation into the crash. I'm asking because of the criminal nature of everything. >> I had my right. I was turning into off of uh 713 713. I was being very careful with a lot of traffic coming fast, >> taking my time and then I started to approach into the right lane. Um and then just as I was in the right lane, my experience was that he hit me from behind. I was jolted, kind of whipped, and I pulled over to the right uh to see if there was damage. I was a little shocked and so it might have taken me a second. I pulled over to the right, hopped out of my car. He didn't get out. Um I quickly looked and you know, the sun was such that I didn't see any damage. I you know, to me, he had a big white truck. That's the way I call it a white truck. I just, you know, it was larger vehicle than mine. Um, and I didn't see the damage on my thing. He was I thought he would apologize cuz it was clear he hit me from behind. He didn't. He was na he was kind of nasty. >> Even at the very end, he clings to his justifications, convinced he's the real victim in the situation. >> Saying some story. And I said, "That's ridiculous." I said, and he goes, "Well, um, you know," and I said, "What do we do? Do you want to exchange number?" He said, "Um, we have to pull into the gas station." I said, "I don't have the time. I don't see any damage." He goes, "Well, that's the way it's done, buddy. So, obviously has more experience than me in in accidents." I mean, part of this was my stupidity and ignorance because I haven't been in an accident. And I said, "It's okay. I've got to go." He was taking pictures of my license. So, I I went to the back to get a picture of his license in case. By license, you mean license plate, right? >> License plate in case anything, you know, in case I needed it. >> Did you ever give him any of your information? >> I didn't I didn't think, you know, it was my stupid fault, but I didn't think anything had happened. I thought, I'm still not late for work. It was his fault. He's getting off easy. >> I'm just going to go. And I didn't think it was a hit and run or anything like that. I mean, it's total ignorance on my part. >> Okay. But uh if there's any camera footage, I would be certain that it would show that my story is the correct one. >> Okay, we're going to get out and go inside the jail now. >> All right. >> All right. >> He's eventually charged with leaving the scene of a crash and driving with an expired license for more than 6 months. One day on the job, and a lifetime of consequences. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
