Yeah. >> You hear me? >> Yeah. And I'm not trying to be mean to you.

So that means he's staying there. >> J, do not spit it at my guys. >> The suspect continues giving conflicting statements and it's becoming clear the officer's patience is wearing thin. >> Question. >> He doesn't have a room there. If if um if these guys help pay with for my Excuse me. Excuse me, guys. [laughter] >> Would they be able to pay for my grand? >> That's not the $18. >> How much did you drink today? >> I had a glass of >> cuz that thing was causing a little bit of >> I lost my my bag. >> How did you pay for your alcohol >> up there, too? >> What room are you staying in, >> bro?

I'm not even staying in the room. >> So, your people are up there and they're going to let you get arrested. >> I I >> You don't You don't want to see if somebody's going to help you out with what? $20 burger, maybe a drink. >> All right. I I I didn't even have a I wonder if he >> Yeah, I had a drink there with somebody cuz he has a key in his pocket. >> Yeah, cuz the guy said he went up to the sixth floor. >> This one? What's >> I want to go with I know we'll see what's >> they're tell Tony that there's no J R is on file with nobody with that name get in the room [clears throat] >> I can go real quick go up and come right back >> sorry I think u bring it over >> yeah we'll keep you here cuz now I'm thinking there's more to it if you're not even asking was made for the $20 burger. >> You take a bro this was my bag and this is if this is over a burger. This is >> No, what it is is the fried keeper. That's what it is. >> Because we can't let it be known that you can come here, order meals and then dip. >> Despite everything the officers have explained, the man continues pushing back. >> But do you understand? I I just had a bite and I left. >> I [clears throat] didn't feel I ordered it. Do you know what you do when you feel like you're not feeling well before you take a bite? >> What do you do? Tell I want you to know. Tell me. >> I actually if I tell you the truth, if you ask the waiter, if you ask the waiter, I asked him specifically cuz I wasn't feeling well. I said I asked him, "Hey, hey, bro, did you already when I ordered it?" >> I went to the restaurant before. I almost canled it and and he said it's already put um he told me um um like it's good. It's a really good burger. He gave me a ginger ale as well cuz my stomach it was upset and he and he um and I had a bite of it and still was upset and then I just left. >> Cuz see right now you said you don't know your social. Most people know at least the last four of their social. You gave us a name. You won't say what room you're in, what room you were staying in, right? You're not asking people who you know are in that room who could get you out of this, right? But you're not being honest with us. You've told me multiple times, I've already said too much. Which leads me to think there's more to it than just defrauding the inkeeper. Which literally is what got you, Ken? Arguing with my guy. >> I'm not arguing with you. >> No, you're not. No, you're doing great. But you were [clears throat] We have I have a a monitor right there that shows me. >> Pardon me, bro. I'm really sorry. >> I can't You're not being honest with me. I'm starting to wonder if you even IDed yourself correctly, which is going to lead to another charge. They're going to take your fingerprints and they're going to figure out who you are because we they're going to do it anyway. >> I mean, if Okay, so then just let's go. If that's the case. >> No, because right now I'm going to investigate to try to see what room you came out of and see what's going on in that room cuz if you're willing to get arrested, >> I also have another bag there. Um, >> okay. >> At this point, the officers lay out exactly what the man is now facing. But if you're willing to get arrested so you don't have so we don't know what's going on in that room that that's might be a safety issue. Correct. >> I don't know what's going on up there because most people would you say that most people wouldn't just go to jail. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. I know. Mo I I figured you guys would understand. I didn't mind even the guy if if it was that big of a deal. I know I was coming to the loss. I found I know there's police guys here. if I if if I didn't think it was like I I took a bite and I didn't feel well at all. I don't know how how else to keep going, but I'm I'm getting exhausted and um yeah, I I don't agree with any of this and um yeah, I'm I'm just I'm through um speaking. All right. >> If I was answer the first part and >> I'm not You're not going to get it cuz I can't right now. On a scale of 10, >> I think you're at a two of being honest with me. And that upsets me because the only reason why I came up up here was because I wanted to stop you from making bad choices more so than you already have. That's my only reason for coming out here. >> Bro. Bro, do you understand? I took a bite and I didn't feel well. >> J. >> Oh, man. Everything you've done has now led me to have to dig deeper. >> Okay. >> So, that's what I'm I'm I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to I >> talking and hope I'm sorry for >> I'm trying I'm going to I'm going to ID you. I'm going to see if you got some friends here because that gives me other options too because you didn't technically resist. So, that wasn't another charge. Otherwise, my hands would sort of be tied. I'm still dealing with basically petty theft. You want to take who you searching? Right. Listen, that lighter is going to get thrown away. >> Yeah. All right. Um, so I'm I'm uh >> the hide house >> with everything sorted out. All that's left is for the officers to wrap up the encounter. >> So So I'm just over the Can I have a little bit more water, bro? I'm really not feeling well. And and >> J look let let me tell you I can get you any medical attention you want. Hold on. I can get you but all it's going to do. >> Can I get my arm back making me hot and I promise you I won't move, bro. And if I move just slam me, bro. >> No, we're not we're not in that business. That's why I'm up here. >> I know, but it's so Please do it cuz then I'm >> Tell me the truth, Jay. >> The truth is >> Tell me what room you holding, sir. But I'm getting >> Just listen to him. Come on. >> Hey. Yeah. Yeah. It's not for camera. >> You can you can tell me exactly what you want to tell me. You don't have to tell me anything. >> I have nothing else. As a matter of >> fact, can I have a little bit more water? Is that okay? >> Well, let's get him in the car. Juan's going to give us what information we got from the room. Don't take him to Orient. And then when you get to or let him know that uh we really don't trust his ID. Can I ask you a question? Uh, for the supervisor? >> Just relax. >> No, no, I know. For the supervisor, >> bro. If one of these guys out here could pay the $20 tab, would I be okay? >> I know. I just lost my bag, too. >> All right. Listen, you've already been searched. >> If there's anything on you whatsoever that goes into the jail, >> you're going to get a felony. >> Is there anything you're hiding on you that we miss? >> No. >> You got to tell us now. >> No. >> Nothing. >> Nothing. >> No needles, no knives, no blades, anything. Any pills? Anything? >> I don't do any of that. Any of that? Can I just have a little bit of water, please? >> Okay. What's your address?

So, if any of your customers complain, refer them to me. >> I'll explain. Hopefully they don't. >> Most of them are under >> blame you for it. Uh >> you can refer them to me. Did Did that other officer Did he have chance to get your name? >> No. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, she came in. Uh >> they they called me over to the deli. She went over there first. >> Okay. >> Um the teammates told me that she put her hands on them. We were yelling at them. >> Okay. >> So, she did deescalated it. I finally tried to get her to check out and just leave. She kept yelling. She said she wanted to check out up here. So I escorted her. We stopped at Floral. I tried to check her out there. Then she said she paid for. I didn't even care about the chicken. I just wanted her to leave. >> Okay. And she kept yelling. She came back over here, started yelling, "Tenemates again." I came back over. That's when I told them over here to call the police just to have her removed. >> Okay. >> I gave her every opportunity to pay for it and leave. >> So she made physical contact with some of your employees >> supposedly over in the deli. I haven't been able to verify it. >> Okay. Uh, do you have camera footage, >> uh, >> that we could review? I'm Do they want to press charges for battery or do they just want her gone? >> She's going to get charged anyway. I got charges off. >> The only reason I asked on the batteries cuz we then we just got to get some more people's information. Not a big deal. >> Okay. >> Now, the officers explain where the case goes from here. >> Sometimes people don't want to go to court, and I understand that. Um, she wouldn't have caught an obstructing charge with us if she would have just given us her name so we could have trespassed her like you requested, but >> we tried. She obviously is intoxicated as well. And >> I I >> I smell it. >> I at least smell it. I don't know how >> back and forth and kind of conversation. >> Before wrapping up the investigation, officers get one last statement from an employee who saw everything unfold. >> Hello. You need to talk to me? >> Yeah, I guess. Did you have a situation with the young lady here in black? >> I needed to bring you back. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um, yes. So, he came out >> and was mad with another worker about styrofoam plates. We don't have any, but they've been out for over 3 hours. So, when she got here, they already weren't there. She was mad saying that well the one she was mad at went back there and started talking about her but she went back there to tell everybody else we don't have any plates. So when I heard she was cussing I came around and she was in place talking of like saying you and you up and I'm coming for you all that. And so I told her we haven't had any sources for a while and she got in my face and said no I got the last one. you remember I got the last one. I said, "Okay, whatever." You know, I know she didn't, so I'm not going to argue. And when she got on my face, that's when I smelled my breath. And I know she Yeah. And that's when she like shoved me and she she didn't do it hard, but she don't touch me. >> Did she kind of do like this or >> It was like a Well, you don't know. >> Okay. >> It wasn't like a attack, but it was don't touch me, please. Okay. And so that's when she kept getting more mad and I could tell it wasn't going to like get fixed and I kept telling her it's all well and she goes I'm fine but you're not. And just kept saying stuff like that and she kept coming back and just standing there. >> So I called and once I back she got even more mad and then started doing that all over my face again ma'am and she thought he said do >> so she went really Yeah. And then that's when told me to just walk away and I stayed away since then. >> When she did, how many times did she make contact? Was it just once? >> She she like she like did that sometimes, but I don't I don't like care about that. >> It was just a little shove that was like I'm already nervous. So, >> okay. Um, were you injured in any way? >> No. >> No. >> At this point, the officer asks the staff final questions before putting the encounter to a close. >> Were you in fear that she was going to like slap you or punch you or anything like I was a little scared she was going to come at me. Yes. >> Yeah. Did she take any kind of a aggressive stance towards you or she was just was talking in your face? >> It's just that she was so close to me and doing that that I could tell she was comfortable and she's like oh if you would have met old me you you would have this and that and trying to scare me and she's like she said you should you can that's a girl who used to work here. >> Okay. >> And I'm like I don't I get I I told her I said I get it. You're tough. I'm not messing with you. I just want to make sure everything's good. >> Okay. But >> so we got I got a couple charges on her anyway. We just wanted to make sure that there was no that physical like a battery. It wasn't like you got, you know, we're getting ready to get battered or anything like that. It was just more of like hey back away type thing. >> T assert herself. >> Okay. >> Uh I talked to her. It was more of like a you can't tell me what to do. >> Okay. So she's good with my person charges. Perfect. >> So call her. >> Yeah. We don't have to worry about the uh >> the video for that cuz we got the body camera. So 439. >> Take her to the station. Put her on here. >> Yeah. >> Make her ride. She can probably figure it out. >> I got it. >> So, I'll get her for obstruction and uh resistance and resist. >> All right. I talked to her.

You see her not, you know, notify us. We'll come out and address it. Is she one of fresh chargers? No. >> So, I don't have to worry about video. >> No. Okay. >> Uh, apparently from her story, she says she works over there at Weber Apartments. So, just keep an eye out. She might be here frequently or try to be here more frequent than others. Okay. >> The encounter ultimately ended with a woman facing charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. What's your verdict?
