Both women were ultimately charged with retail theft while the man faced an additional charge for possession of burglary tools. All three were also issued notices to appear in court. Number three, woman prioritizes stealing over her child. On June 14th, 2024, officers in Florida responded to a call from a woman at a local mall who reported that her wallet had been stolen after briefly setting it down. Minutes later, she learned that one of her cards had already been used at a store inside the same mall. Rather than confronting the suspects herself, she made the smart call, contacting the police and waiting nearby. This is what happened once officers arrived. >> Um, so tell me what happened. >> Okay, so we were at Paxton and I had put like my keys somewhere like right on top of like something I was looking for and then when I went to go get them, they were gone. >> Your keys? >> Yeah, like my my Well, it's >> so it had like money in it, all my cards, like uh my work key. >> Okay.

I'm sweating. >> I'm open this for my baby. >> Okay, listen. >> Ma'am. Ma'am, >> we ask you to stay over here. Now, I'm going to put you in the car, right? >> There you go. Right here.

I'm talking about my jacket. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Is there some way to give me some water, please? >> I don't have any water on me. >> Can you wrap my head up for me? As officers attempt to collect surveillance footage and transaction records from the store, the female officer on the scene is struggling to keep the woman calm and cooperative. She's fidgeting, pacing, and showing signs that she doesn't want to stick around. >> Sakina, >> here. Just have a seat, please. >> Okay. And I'm not going to give you no candy and no phones. Just have a seat. >> Just have a seat. >> Entrance number. >> You hear me talking to you? Have a seat. >> I don't have to sit down. I'm hot. >> Okay. Well, I can't have you.

Nobody's leaving until we say it's time to go. >> After making sure the child is with someone safe, the officers lead the woman to the patrol car. The investigation has already confirmed that she's the one they've been looking for. Records show she used the stolen card to buy shoes totaling $21023. >> Did you double lock her? >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Sit inside the car. >> Stop talking. Stop.

Okay. >> Before taking the next steps, officers go through the woman's personal belongings to confirm what items are actually hers and what may be connected to the stolen wallet. >> Wanda. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Anything you want to tell me about the cash? >> Yes, sir. >> How about this, >> sir? Yes. >> What do you want to tell me about this? What's that? >> You want to go to jail? >> Yes, ma'am. >> What?

Okay. >> Can I show you where to get my mom and daddy from? >> Can I show you where to get them? What I The stuff I just bought. Come in. She was already given a chance to speak with her partner, but instead of calming down, she's grown more agitated. [music] The officers are running out of patience, and if her attitude doesn't change, the situation is only going to escalate. >> Okay, we got seat. >> No, it's not even right now. Be so right now. >> Don't Don't disall Hey, listen. Don't disallow her conduct. Don't don't dis give you the courtesy that you're talking to her. I know. You shouldn't be talking to anybody.

Let Let me do Let me do my thing here first cuz the faster the better and you get her just over. Okay. >> I'm in jail on a Friday night. What started as a simple family trip to the mall ended with a woman facing multiple [music] charges, including petty theft, unlawful possession of a stolen debit card, resisting an officer without violence, and contributing to the delinquency of a child. Number two, when escaping a petty charge matters more to her than a child's safety. On February 11th, 2020, [music] officers responded to a call from a Home Depot after staff caught a woman shoplifting with her young child trailing closely behind. After reviewing security footage and confirming the theft, store employees decided to involve law enforcement. Here's how it unfolded when officers arrived. >> Hold that for me. >> All right, get up. >> She's talking to you. >> You have anything in your back? >> No. Do you have anybody here with your baby? >> You stay in the car. >> Stay in the car. Call them. >> Oh, man. They have no ID by the way as well. >> That's fine. >> You can have your card, too. >> I'll get it here. Have a seat. Call.

Call them. >> I'm not moving. >> Call them. >> You're making it worse for you. This was quick. This is so quick. All right, >> yep. Uh, >> you're a copy. >> I'm going to keep Laura. No, I already have a copy. I'm going to keep I'm going to swap you two, please. >> All right. >> Don't look like that. Okay. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Give me a sign. Yeah. I need you to be the witness for that, please. >> Can you want me outside? No. >> In addition to the toddler by her side, the officers learned that another child is waiting for the suspect in her car. Now, the woman begins pointing to her kids as a reason not to be arrested. However, the officers have heard enough, and the store is firm in holding her accountable for her actions. [snorts] Who are they? >> My friend and my son is in the car. My cousin. >> How can you just I'm not I don't know. Her phone probably dead or something. I'm not going to do anything. You already got me in here. I'm not going to I'm not You feel me? What can I do? I got my baby. >> You going to let him carry baby? >> I ain't carrying the baby. You can put the baby in the stroller. I ain't touching the kid. I'm sorry. We can get a We can get a shopping cart. Baby can go in the baby basket and you can put her in handcuffs. We can walk her outside.

I'm not >> I'm not dead. >> Not dead. >> You guys bringing me a shopping cart. >> Wait. M. >> Officers grant the woman a moment to call her father, allowing her to use her phone in good faith. However, what she does next takes the whole situation in the wrong direction. Just put him right there. >> Get off of me. [crying] Lady, you're not you're not moving. Lady. Lady, you're not moving. >> Let go the kid. You're You're HURTING HIM. >> I GOT MY >> LET GO. THIS GUY SAID I WASN'T GOING TO JAIL. >> YOU'RE NOT GOING. EXACTLY.

Seriously, >> can I please get up? >> I got my child. I'm not trying to Please, ma'am. >> With that one move, she's used up every ounce of patience the officers were willing to offer. And now they're done playing along. >> Not very smart, I'll tell you that. Huh? Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Can you push it all the way to the fall? >> You don't have to. I'm taking everything out. >> 2190. How close are you? >> What's already? >> This is your money. It's going inside. >> I got to pee so bad. I'm really about to pee on myself. >> Let's do it, girl. >> Where you all working on this? You want gloves? >> 226 on those shot in custody. >> You don't even have to steal.

You have anything on you? >> Thank you. >> You know I'm in jail. If you have anything, >> they're going to charge you. >> Stop moving. Just stay still. >> I got it going now. >> That's fine. >> You saved it. Can you br sign into your own? Now that she's about to be taken in, the officer asks her again who's going to watch her child while she's in custody. At this point, they need something more than vague claims. >> Do you really have someone for this kid or not? >> Yes, I do. >> Hey, it's in the car. She's waiting for another officer before we take her off. >> Can you walk me up, >> please? 1973. >> That's your mom. >> Where you at? >> Okay. At the office all the way at the back. >> I'm so sorry. >> It's okay, Papa. Sorry. Please. >> You're going to jail. >> Please. >> I told you it was a stupid ticket. He just told me. >> I told you that's what it was. I sat there in front of you and I said, "It's a stupid thing. I told you I'm not going to jail." >> He didn't. You just told me. >> 521 was done.

I'm not doing nothing. >> Despite everything, the [music] child is still in the arms of a Home Depot worker waiting. The friend the woman claimed would help is long gone, having already left with her older child. Now the officers are left figuring out what to do next. >> Huh? >> I'm not trying to get Do you mind asking her if she want me to take my baby home? >> Well, supposedly her friend is here with her other kid. >> Pulled off. >> Pulled off. >> Oh, no.
