Thank you. I know you guys aren't going to do anything with it, but Yeah. Unfortunately, we'll have to trash it, but I appreciate you bringing it back. Sir, thank you. Um, can you just give me a very like a brief rundown of what happened? So, she my meat manager saw her with all these steaks. Okay. She walked down an aisle and when she came to the end of the aisle, there weren't any states. So, I walked down that aisle. So, she was carrying the steak. They were in a cart visible. So, she showed me who she was and I walked over here to the wine section. I saw her in the wine section. I said, "Hey, is there anything I can help you with?" Then she was asking me about a wine. So I showed her the wine. And as she turned to walk away from me after this conversation, I could see like in the open zipper edge of her bag, I could see the meat tray in there. So she's got these steaks. So she walks up towards the registers. And as she gets up towards the registers, I say, "Hey, I'm going to need you to let me know where you set those steaks down cuz I don't want them to go bad. I got to put them back in the thing." She's like, "I don't know what you're talking about it." And she was pushing a shopping cart. And at that time, she turned down an empty register with the cart, let go of the cart, started walking towards the door. So I followed her to the door. I said, "Hey, I'm going to need those steaks back that are in your bag." And she said again, "I don't know what you're talking about." And then as she was going out the door, she like shoved me out of her way and left, walked out into the parking lot. Um, and you obviously identified yourself as a store employee. Yeah. Yeah. I have a name tag as a store employee, you know? Okay. So, um, and as far as her pushing you, you just want Do you want to do anything with the battery of it? No, I don't do anything with the battery. Okay. Um, are you able to give video now? Yeah, I called and got it approved. I just got to It's going to take me a couple minutes to like find it. Okay. But yeah, absolutely. I don't know how she planned on cooking all of it. She's charged with shoplifting and potentially battery for pushing the store employee. Number two, Walmart employees stop shoplifting grandma. Officers are called to a Walmart where a senior woman is accused of shoplifting. According to store staff, she took off her own watch and replaced it with a new one from the jewelry section, then tried to leave with baby care products hidden in her belongings. When police make contact, she immediately breaks down and admits to the theft. Have a great day, sir. Thank you. Okay. I told you to stay. Didn't I tell you to stay? Okay. Thank you. What you got? Watch again. They just taking watches today. So, she took her watch off, put it on, and then she stole some baby stuff. He's doing a train right now. Right now the total voice right now took was like 824. And why you doing all that? Because of the prices and everything. This is my very first time and I know it's wrong and I'm embarrassed and I'm so sorry. I just I just I just thought, well, maybe I can. And it was just a very bad decision. So, okay. And will never happen again. I assure you. Oh, actually, hold on. Let me get a photo of it. Well, that's old watch. I know. I got to get a photo of baby when I go to court. Well, uh, I have to You want to try to see if the sheriff's office will transport and you going to take the warrant? Yeah. I don't understand. If the sheriff's office won't do it, I'll just a CT and she can turn herself in. Though she's ashamed and repeatedly apologizes, the officers have to move forward with the case since Walmart wants to press charges. I have to go to jail. He's about to He's about to check. Oh my god. 42 later. [Applause] Can you see if available for transport? Not for me, but for Walmart. [Music] So Walmart. So you didn't? Believe it or not, they've been doing it lately. [Music] 11. 11. You can put 10 back in service. I'm go for it. Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I'm just remember Patricia. P A H T R I C I A. B U N B U I'm confused. She took a watch. She took She took a watch out of our box and and put it that one that her and she took her old watch and put it and put it back on the shelf and then she concealed baby stuff. Uh some don't have the money to pay for it. I do. 4211. There 104. The sheriff's office is busy. Shocking. The woman is not taken into custody immediately only because the sheriff's office isn't available for transport. Instead, officers issue a criminal trespass notice. You're lucky you're lucky. Not really, but you know sheriff transfer to jail. So citation we don't do citation for shop. I figured you're going to do a warrant. I mean that's what I got to do cuz we prosecuting. So she's going to take a warrant for you. Listen to me. She's going to take a warrant for you. I'm going to issue you a criminal trespass that says you're not allowed to come back to this Walmart ever. You'll be arrested on site. Okay. Okay. Okay. And uh can I go to any Walmart? Not this one. Not this one. Once she issues that warrant, you're going to have to go turn yourself into the jail today. Uh whenever she does the warrant. I'm doing it today. So I have 4 hours. Okay. Is it the county jail? What jail am I going to? So it's 4 hours if she goes to jail. They'll release her over there 4 hours, but she's not going. So you can just do it as soon as possible. Does that make sense? Yeah. So if it four It's not 4 hours is only if she has already gone with y'all. Yeah. Cuz that's how long they'll hold her before they release her without a warrant. Yeah. 4 hours today. No, no, no. He's saying if I had to if you were already in the police car and I had to issue a warrant, I have four hours to go down there and get a warrant. If I don't do it in 4 hours, they release you. But because he's not taking you, I got to go down there and do my warrant myself. So, I'm saying I'm doing a warrant today. So, you'll have to just call and see, hey, is there a warrant for me for shopping with Walmart? If they say yes, then you turn yourself in or Monday or whatever whatever day. And if you don't, then you'll get it'll catch up with you eventually. Is Siri Drive still a good address for you? Yes, ma'am. Oh, sir. Um, what's a phone number for you? The officers encourage her to turn herself in as soon as possible once the warrant is active, explaining that it's better to go voluntarily than risk being arrested unexpectedly later. Uh, are you done with this? Yeah. So, I'm going to do a report for the uh to the criminal trespass. Okay. She gets that. So, can I call you or how am I going to know? I have to call the jail to see when my warrant You need to call the sheriff's office and ask ask if you Sheriff's Office of Pal. Yes. Okay. and then call them and and ask them to run your name and date of birth and then they'll tell you whether you have a warrant or not. And then you can go turn yourself in at the sheriff's office on County Services Road. On County Services Road. And if you don't, it'll catch up. You'll have a warrant out for your arrest and eventually you'll be somewhere, you'll get pulled over, you'll do be doing something, and you're going to end up having to go to jail in the middle of what you're doing. So, my advice is to plan it out as the best you can. Uh get all, you know, take a day off. I don't know if you work, but I do. Well, then maybe try to try I would I would try to turn yourself in as soon as she gets the warrant. So, I would I would call up there in a you know, every 3 or 4 hours until till the warrant comes through and then go turn yourself in. [Applause] I mean, really, you can it's a trespass. Just let you know January 13, 2024, you're not allowed for this property. Print your name and sign it. Um, really you can turn yourself at any police in any police department, but the jail's the most direct way where you don't have to be transported and all that. Indiana on driving have any tattoos?
