Go. Go. Leave. Go. Go. >> I'm trying to Go. >> WALK, THEN. >> YOU >> YEAH, WALK. >> WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING HER? >> WHY IS HE ARRESTING ME? >> TRESPASS after warning. >> information. I didn't trespass. >> Told to stay off the property. >> Dining out shouldn't end with police involvement, but these customers made sure it did. Watch as officers deal with some of the most unhinged customers ever seen in a restaurant. This customer took a sauce complaint way too far. On November 29th, 2024, [music] officers were dispatched to a Raising Cane's after reports of a disruptive customer causing a scene. Here's what unfolded next. >> Hi, welcome to Raising Cane's. >> Hey, is there Tatiana here? Are you Tatiana? All right. Uh, where do you want to talk? >> Um outside? >> Yeah, outside is fine. We'll just go over by the car. >> Perfect. >> So, was this today? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Like from earlier this morning. >> Do you know her personally? >> No. >> Okay. So, what exactly happened? >> So, apparently she was missing eight Cane's sauces out of her tailgate order, and I replaced it for her. I let her know, "Hey, we're so sorry about that." Gave her the eight sauces. She wasn't happy about it. She wanted more sauces for free. I told her, "Hey, we can't do that. That's not our standard. That's not our policy." She didn't like it. She kept saying how she wasted her gas driving all the way back up here. Um, just basically just upset that I wouldn't give her anything for free. And so, she asked for my name, and by our standards, we're not required to give it to her for security reasons, and I let her know that, and she didn't like it. So, after asking me another time, and I was like, "Hey, like I'm not going to give you my name." She goes, and she grabs my keys, and then she grabs my thigh with it, and she's like trying to look for a name, realizes there's no name on it, and she let's go, turns around, and leaves. >> So, she originally came here. Did she go through the drive-thru or go inside? >> Inside. She was a mobile. >> Okay. Do you know if she was picking up for someone else or for herself? >> For herself. >> Mobile pick up. Inside. Um and what time did she initially come in? >> I would going to want to say like around 1:15 like o'clock around there. >> Is it all on footage? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, she comes in for mobile pick up inside at We'll find the exact hours. Um grabs her bag, and then leaves? >> Yes. >> Okay. Then she returns. >> The situation began over a forgotten sauce, but even after the staff apologized and replaced it, the woman allegedly continued causing a scene. >> And at first she calls about it, and then she walks in and and we're like, "Okay, you're on the phone with us, but you're also already here, too." >> Yeah. Okay. So, she returns an hour We'll check after calling. Um was she on the phone when she walked inside the restaurant? And are you able to find the phone number as well? >> Yes, it's um on our mobile tablet. >> Okay. Okay. So, she comes back inside. She's on the phone. Um who approaches her? Do you approach her? >> Yes, I walk up to her first because I can tell that she needs something. >> Yep. >> And that's when basically the whole incident started. >> Okay. So, you walk up to her. Does she put the phone down? >> No, she was still on it. >> Still on phone. And then what was the dialogue like when you walked up? >> I was like, "Hi, what can I or Hi, how can I help you?" And she was just basically going straight into it. Was like, "Hey, I'm missing eight cane sauces. I just drove over here. Now I'm having to drive over here again waiting on my sauces that I didn't get that I paid for." I was like, "I'm so sorry about that, ma'am." So, I walk away from her and I go and I grab the eight cane sauces for her and that's when she really gets upset because she starts asking me for free sauces and that's when I tell her no. And that's basically that. >> Okay. Where were you guys standing when she tried grabbing your lanyard? >> Right where um that front counter and like you go out of the >> little opening is, yeah. Okay. And then do you know which hand she used to try and grab your lanyard? >> I think like her left hand. Either her I think so. Yeah, because her phone was in her right hand still. >> Okay. At this point the officer starts getting a detailed [music] account of how things turned physical. And where is it is it on your like your belt loop? >> Yeah. >> And then uh so she grabs the lanyard. Like how far out does she pull it? >> I don't think that far. I think when she turned it around and realized there was no name on it, that's as soon as she let it go. >> Okay. >> And right after she left. >> Do you guys happen to have video footage that would show her car and license plate? >> I don't know about her license plate. I have a picture of her sitting next to her car, but it's really hard where our cameras are angled. Like you can't really see the back of the the car. >> Okay. >> Okay. Based on what you're telling me, I'll take a look at the footage. Um obviously there's a battery if she's grabbing you without your um consent. But when she's trying to take property from you with force, could be strong arm robbery, which is a felony, even if it's attempted. >> The security footage later confirms what the manager told officers. And with that, they move to hear the suspect's side. >> Hello? >> Hello, is this McKenzie Keeling? >> Who is this? >> This is Officer Lemke with Largo Police Department. >> Speaking. >> I'm doing an information report about some sort of incident that happened at Raising Cane's on East Bay today. >> Yeah, I was checking an ID to see if she had a name tag on there. >> Okay. Um like I said, it's just an information report. I just got to come talk to you, get your side of the story. Uh if you don't mind filling out a witness statement, is there some place I can meet you to so you can fill that out? >> Um later today, but not at the moment. >> Okay. Where can I meet you later today? Or would you like to come down to the police department? >> Um I don't know. This is ridiculous. I literally grabbed a tag to check her name, so I don't know why this is being like targeted against me. I literally did nothing wrong. >> Okay, I'm not saying that you did. I'm just saying that I'm going to need to speak to you. That's it. >> Okay, I guess I can meet you there at maybe like 7:00 p.m. >> Hello there. McKenzie, I'm Officer Lemke with Largo Police Department. I spoke with you on the phone. Um So, I want to talk to you about the incident that happened at Raising Cane's today. Uh before I talk to you, do you want to offer the other parties, everyone that I talked to offered the same thing. Would you like to fill out a statement about it first? Okay, that's just so you can write that. Okay, let me get my clipboard real quick, okay? And then on the back here is where you can write what happened, okay? All right, so let me walk you through it first. So, it's a law enforcement department form, and I'll read you all of these one by one, and then I'll have you initial each one, okay? >> Before asking her any questions, the officer makes sure to read the woman's rights. >> So, by law you have these rights, these are your Miranda rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can only Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned. You cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these? Okay. Um So, this waiver says that you have read this right this statement of your Miranda rights, and that you understand what your rights are. That you're willing to talk with the police and or give written statements to them, which would be this form. It's also saying that at this time you do not want a lawyer. And that you understand and know what you're doing. There are no promises or threats that have been made towards you, nor has there been any force or pressure used against you to make you cooperate or help the police. It's also so that you swear or affirm that your statements that you're going to write on here are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Okay? So, would you select to fill this out? >> I think so. >> Okay. >> What is she like agreeing to if she signs that? >> So, this is just the Miranda rights. So, it's just saying that whatever she writes on here can be used in court and that she's swearing that what she writes here is her the truth of what actually happened. That's all. >> That's it? >> Yeah. Just before the suspect responds, her parents intervene and speak with officers. >> Well, yeah, but can I can I ask a question? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay, so You know, we haven't had time This all happened We haven't had time to call an attorney or anything like that. So at least what we understand in this You know, Kenzie's first of all a great kid. She's never been in She's never had a problem, never been issues. Works right down the road here. Um and so I guess all I'm asking is So, should we get an attorney first or have before we sign anything or >> So, it's up to you. It's not going to make a difference of what happens right now. I'm just offering her the opportunity to tell me what happened so that I can include that in the report. If she doesn't want to tell me what happened, she doesn't want to want to write it down, there's not going to be her side of the story. So, if she'd like to speak with an attorney, she absolutely can. It's not going to change the outcome of tonight. But, if she doesn't provide me her information, I won't have her story to provide to the state attorney or anything like that. >> What is the outcome of tonight? >> So, you're you're facing charges right now for what happened at Raising Cane's, but I would like to understand your side of the story and what happened. >> I did not know that checking someone's name tag was illegal. >> So, it's not just checking someone's name tag, but um >> I grabbed it and checked her name was on it. It wasn't, so I let it go and I left. That's how I saw everything happen. I also wear a badge for work in the same place and it has our names on it and I've had patients grab mine to see my name. So, I did not realize that grabbing someone's name tag to check for their name after they refused to give me their name was even illegal. >> So, you cannot touch anyone or attempt to take anyone's property or belongings on their person without someone's consent. But what if that person was checking it, especially on something that it should be like a name tag type thing? Cuz that's what I associated it with because I would a name >> a name tag. >> She claims she never believed her actions [music] were against the law, but the officer quickly clarifies why she's being charged. >> I understand, but if if it's not your property, you can't touch or grab or do any of those things without someone's consent. It would be different if you said, "Hey, can I look at your name tag?" and the person said, "Yes." And they either offered to you >> That's just unfortunate cuz it's happened to me and I've never even thought that that was illegal. And since it's happened to me so many times, I did not think that it was going to affect anyone else in any other way. >> I'm sorry that you've gone through things like that. I hope you know that you can let us know if something like that happened. >> would. I would never charge someone with checking my name tag. It's unfortunate that that's what I'm going to be charged with when I also manage a business and have a life to uphold. >> I hear you. >> But my life's going to be torn apart because I checked someone's name tag when she refused to give me her name when I was asking her for help and she wasn't helping me. And I manage a business, so when someone asks me for help, I'm there to help them and I'm going to give you my name regardless of if I want you or not. >> I hear you, light. We are required to give our names when someone asks, our name and badge number. >> And I would do the same thing and I've had people grab my badge to get my name and that's I've never charged someone and ruined their life because of that. >> So, unfortunately, private business businesses have their own practices and practices and policies and Raising Cane's has a policy where if someone asks for your name, even if you're employed, they're not required to give them their name. >> Well, she could have mentioned that. Instead, it was just no, and I was just being told no. No one explained to me that I can't have her name physically, and how am I supposed to know that walking into every establishment that like I'm going to read that plastered on the door if that's going to be something everywhere because that's just pretty standard to get people's names on a name tag. Like >> Well, doesn't it respectfully doesn't it seem it seems like this is excessive. But I mean shouldn't she just get a warning? She's never been in trouble. She's never done it. >> So, I'll tell I'll tell you what. Um I can talk to you guys separately and let you know everything that I've seen and that I've investigated. Um and this officer can stand by with McKenzie. >> Now, the parents agree to hear the officer's explanation about the incident. [music] >> All right, do you want to fill this out or would you like to pass on this for now? >> We're not We're not really familiar with all this stuff. >> That's fine. Uh I >> I mean I I know I just We're not trying to say that. >> No, no. I'm not saying you are. I I understand the hesitation. >> I know that now is my only opportunity to fill this out. >> It is. You're not You're not going to have another opportunity to fill one of those out. You'll have an opportunity to speak to a lawyer. Um but this is the only opportunity to fill out this form. >> Just stand right here by my car. I'll take this away. >> So, I'll I'll tell you guys what's going on. >> I just feel like I should be able to I don't want anything that to be misconstrued. >> No, I understand. So, So, here's what's going on today. Um I've seen the video footage. There was multiple witnesses. It happened within the Raising Cane's. So, obviously there's a lot of people in there. Um from everything I've gathered, she did a mobile pickup order. Yeah. >> She wasn't alone with her parents. I think she's changing her mind about what she's doing. >> Okay. >> You want me to follow up with them or >> If this is my only opportunity to do this, I'd like to at least do it if I have You don't have >> you don't have to. So, that that's part of it is you're not being pressured or coerced in any way. >> But I feel like I need to fill this out. So this is my only opportunity to do so. >> It's up to you. If you want to fill it out, I just need you to initial each of those lines and then sign it. >> With the suspect's side addressed, the [music] officer continues the conversation with the parents. >> So what happened was she she put in an online mobile pickup order with her name and her phone number. She went inside, she grabbed her order, and then she left. At some point she realized that she was missing eight cane sauces. So she called the store and said missing eight of my cane sauces. So she came back in the store, she was still on the phone with staff, she came in asked for her eight cane sauces. Which they gave to her. And on video footage and what all the witnesses she is the only one that has committed a crime. I mean it could be seen as disorderly conduct. We're not going to worry about that. Don't worry about it. Uh And then she asked for more sauces for free because she had to use her time and gas to get over there, which is completely understandable. Uh still no crime. Uh they said that they can't give her anything for free. And that's when Um that's when she asked for the employee's name, which is a manager. Uh the manager declined to give her the name. And this happened within 30 seconds from the footage. Uh She shot her hand out, her daughter shot her hand out really fast. There's a lanyard that's on her hip on the employee's hip, the manager, that has her employee ID and the keys to the restaurant. Uh She ended up hitting the manager in the thigh. The witnesses saw this and you can see it on the camera, so there's a battery. >> Change 30. >> I think she almost fell down. And the manager pulled it back, let go, and then she just leaves the store. Um so, where we're at is that unfortunately, you can't just reach and snatch things from people. Um per state statute, it's considered when you take something or attempt to take something with force, it's a robbery. >> Now the officer walks them through the charges she could be facing. >> Um so, the charge she's looking at right now is a strong-arm robbery with no weapon. Uh the state of with no weapon. Yeah, no weapon. Um there's some things that meet the criteria, is that it has to There has to be force involved, which when she was ripping it from her and she also hit the manager in the leg, that's force. >> Mhm. >> Uh and the manager was in fear, so those are the stipulations. Unfortunately, where we're at is that I don't have discretion on this. Um >> Can you take my badge with you? >> They can take anything that you need. So, everything that you told me I'm going to include in the report, your reasoning for it because if this has happened you in the past, it makes complete understanding to me. So, when you get down to the jail, they'll go ahead and tell you what your bond will be. Unfortunately, us on patrol, we have no idea uh because that's through the sheriff's office. >> do Where do my personal belongings go? >> Uh so, you'll be transported down to Pinellas County Jail. The way it works is it's um You got it. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office contracts Allied Transport um to pick up people outside of the hours of 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. Um so, a transport van will come over here and take you to the jail. >> Right now? >> Yeah. >> Yes. So, we'll put in the request, and then they'll come pick her up and take her to the jail. And then she'll get her phone call, and they'll let you know what your bond will be. >> And then how do I call the How do I get in touch with somebody? >> the phone call. >> Yeah, so they'll give you a phone call. So, she can take her phone. They even have a charger down there. She can access all her contacts, everything. >> Well, we'll take We'll take that out there. All right, we'll take it out. So, what does she do for me as soon as >> Yeah, she can give you a call as soon as they give her a >> I love you. >> The transport [music] vehicle soon arrives, and with it comes the final ride to the station. >> That's fine. All right. I'm going to have to step forward over here. Yeah. Yeah. >> Is that really what I'm being charged with? >> It is. >> No. Isn't that what I was saying? >> Yeah, I'm going to put the cuffs on her in the As I was saying, the state attorney will probably work with you, okay? >> I literally thought it was her name tag. How is that robbery? Like, by any sort of means. I just don't even understand. >> I checked the property. >> Yeah, just a phone. >> The case ultimately wraps up with a 31-year-old suspect being charged with strong-arm robbery [music] and battery. These mothers turned a store into chaos after being told no. On October 28th, 2025, officers were dispatched after several women [music] reportedly caused a disturbance inside a store. Here's what officers walked into upon arrival. >> Baby, who on the Plaza call? >> Where's he at? >> Remi? >> Yeah, where is he? 1501 North Betty? >> The 1501 1501 is a gas station. >> The gas station? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> The officers briefly end up at the wrong location, but it doesn't take long before they hear where the disturbance [music] really is. >> Oh. >> No, WE GOT HIM, DUDE. >> THANK YOU. >> WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE CAMERAS BACK, PLEASE? >> WE CAME INTO THE STORE >> OKAY. >> with the candy that she got in her hand. The kids had the candy in their hand. We came INTO THE STORE >> EVERYBODY GUYS, BUT [crying] LET'S GO OUTSIDE TO TALK, OKAY? >> YOU WANT TO MAKE THEM >> I APOLOGIZE >> HE SAID OUR KIDS ATE IT. BUT HE CAME IN. >> OUR KIDS DIDN'T EAT >> I CAN'T understand any of you guys. >> We came into the store with this with our kids, okay? Our kids had this when we came into the store. He said our kids stood right here, opened the candy, and ate it. >> OKAY. >> THEY'RE BIG PEOPLE. BUT THEY CAME IN WITH IT. >> OKAY, OKAY. It's not that big of a deal. Well, >> Well, to him it is CUZ HE WAS CALLING THE POLICE WHEN HE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CANDY in here. But he needs to apologize to our kids for trying TO SAY THAT THEY STOLE THE CANDY AND THAT THEY OPENED it and that they ate it. >> Okay. All right. >> AND WE SPENT CASH WHEN WE CAME IN. AND THEN HE TOLD US THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE EBT, WE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE. WE GOT CASH. >> We'll get it figured out. We'll get it figured out, okay? It's not that big of a deal. IT'S JUST LOW POPS. >> WE WILL NOT PUT THE CANDY BACK. >> ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. >> LISTEN. LISTEN. >> LISTEN. LISTEN. Here's what's going to happen, right? We're all going to go outside together >> Yeah. >> and we're going to have a conversation about everything that happened. >> That's it. We'll get it squared away. That's what I'm saying. >> He's going to check this guy out. This guy's waiting to leave. >> Stop. >> We're not going to hold him up. I did I DID IT. >> WE CARE, TOO. WE TOLD HIM TO GO NEXT DOOR. WE CARE, TOO. >> They told you to leave. >> We didn't care. >> You want to leave the store or what? >> We'll talk to YOU GUYS OUTSIDE. I DON'T CARE. WE'LL TALK TO YOU. WE'LL TALK TO YOU. >> IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THE STORE, I'M GOING TO arrest you FOR TRESPASSING. >> THAT'S WHY WE LIKE talking to women, dude. Like y'all just >> I don't give a >> Okay. >> The officers tried to get the situation under control, but with three [music] women yelling over each other, it's easier said than done. >> Right. >> And we can handle everything outside like like adults. And then we can figure everything out instead of yelling and screaming. I know. And and now we're going to get through everything. I just need him to be able to check that That guy needs to be able to leave. You know what I mean? Hey, relax now. >> No, you relax. >> Relax. >> You don't get what we're coming from. SO, YOU RELAX. YOU RELAX. >> THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. >> You got your table. YOU RELAX. >> I I DON'T DOUBT IT. LISTEN. I DON'T DOUBT IT. I'LL TAKE YOU TO jail for disorderly conduct in about 30 seconds. You are You're yelling and cussing. >> I'M NOT GOING >> AND YOU'RE WALKING UP ON HER AND TALKING. >> IT DON'T MATTER. SHE'S TALKING to you walking up on her. >> You're You're to go to jail. Now, here's the deal. I want to know everything that happened. I I relax. I want to know everything that happened here. I want to know everything that happened, but I'm not going to yell and scream in this store. So, start at the beginning. Start at the beginning and tell me what happened. Okay. From out here? OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. BUT, IT CAME FROM THAT STORE. OKAY. I'M GOING to walk over there. I'm going to walk over there and just check and make sure that they bought it there and then I'll be right back. Do you GET WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY to bring it down. I'M GOING TO GO over here. I'm going to go over here. I'm going to go over here and I'm going to see if that you guys bought the candy from there. Okay. That's fine. There's a bunch of kids here, so I'm going to walk over there and then I'll come back. >> The officer proposes a simple resolution, but first he needs to verify whether the children actually took candy from the store. >> That's what I just told her I'm going to go do. Good lord. There's a couple ladies here had a bunch of little kids. >> Yes, sir. >> Did they just buy some candy here from you? >> A little boy. >> Yeah, one little boy in a white t-shirt. >> Yeah, he bought this. He bought a bubble gum. The little boy bought a bubble gum and he bought this candy. >> Perfect. Thank you. How many of those were bought, do you know? >> One. >> One of those was bought and then a bubble gum? >> Yes, sir. >> And then there was some little some other little kids with them, too? >> No. >> Okay, so it was just that one. Perfect. Thank you. >> Still. >> All right. So, he said that they bought one of the bubble things and bubble gum. So, I just asked. So, I'm just going to double-check and make sure his camera doesn't show something different and then we're going to move forward with him and we'll get everybody out of here. Okay. Well, I can't make him apologize to you. Okay. Well, that's easy. >> Once the officer hears enough from the women, he proceeds to speak with the employee. Here, he discovers that there was a misunderstanding about the accusation. >> All right, here's the deal. Hey, buddy. Where you at? All right. The neighbor over here sold him candy. >> No, that's fine. That That by phone, that doesn't matter to me. >> Okay. >> I had the candy that to so many. They're playing with that. I'm trying to walk with just some candy of that, too. And I stop it, okay? Please, mine or put it back. >> Okay. >> I got Whatever is your you take it. You buy two candy, take it two candy. Why I'm telling that that's the happen. >> Okay. >> After that, the reason for not the candy because one lady, she was my neighbor the next time on that that plaza. She tried to fight with my wife on one night I called for them and I leave this place because I can leave this environment the last year. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> wrong with the candy because it's very simple. If you doesn't take it, that's fine. I just tell them, "Okay, this is your. Go ahead, it's fine." That's why I say that to mine is a bit. >> Got you. >> That is the point. >> Okay, you just want them to leave. That's it. >> No, I want to trespass, too. I need a paper, too. >> Okay. All of the Make them throw all of that stuff. Okay. You want them trespassed. The adults trespassed. The two women or the three women and that's it. Okay. >> Yes. >> Very easy. >> Because they came in next time they may be again happen this situation. >> Sure. Once everything is cleared up, officers [music] tell the women there's no legal reason to demand an apology, and now they need to leave the property or [music] face further consequences. He just wants trespasses. >> That's what we want. >> We just want apology. >> No. I don't know. >> I don't know. >> So, we going to trespass cuz he accused us of stealing. And we didn't even steal. >> I'm not going to WE DIDN'T KNOW. >> ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME YOUR NAMES FOR A TRESPASS WARNING? OKAY, then you need to leave the property now. Listen, he wants you trespassed. Are you going to give me your name for the trespass warning or no? Then if you don't vacate the property, you're going to go to jail. >> It's supposed to serve and protect, right? >> If you don't leave the property, I appreciate your opinion. You're about to go to jail. You need to walk. That's fine. I'll be a bad corporal. All right, I'll suck today. I suck. All right, see you later. It doesn't even take a few minutes before one of the women returns to the property, and officers immediately make their move. >> So, what we got, young? >> That's it. Now she's under arrest. Now she's under arrest. Huh? Yeah, she was trespassed off the property. Stop. Come here. >> Wait, why are you going to arrest her? You got to leave me alone cuz I ain't do Why ARE YOU ARRESTING ME? >> WHY IS HE ARRESTING ME? >> TRESPASS AFTER WARNING. >> INFORMATION. I DIDN'T TRESPASS. >> You were told to stay off the property.

Did we get his info? >> I got it. >> All right, we're out of here. When it was all said and done, the woman was charged with trespassing [music] and resisting arrest. This stubborn customer wouldn't back down. Then the police got involved. On February 2nd, 2025, officers in Belmar responded [music] to DJ's Bar and Restaurant after a patron allegedly began causing a disturbance and refused [music] to leave the property. Here's the chaotic scene officers walked into upon arrival. >> KNOCK IT OFF. STOP. >> STOP. >> PLEASE, GO. GO. LEAVE. GO. >> I'M TRYING TO. >> WALK THEN. >> YOU. >> YEAH, WALK. >> I'M LITERALLY TRYING TO. >> YEAH, WELL, GO. >> GUYS. >> GET OFF THE PROPERTY. >> I am off the property. >> NO, YOU'RE NOT. >> THE SIDEWALK'S ON THE PROPERTY. >> WALK ACROSS THE STREET. >> THE SIDEWALK'S ON >> WALK ACROSS THE STREET. >> PLEASE, I GOT A HEADACHE.
