specific intent to steal from the store yes sir I came here to look at the clearance which I did I had some stuff clearance oh God and the shark back that's why I came here and that's the stuff I pass just nervous what have you been asking before Jobing okay one other time one other time okay I kind of answers that question are you on forer probation no no Dr Dr I got 4 years ago such a [ __ ] idiot man oh my God she's going to the prevention office hanging right here what's your first name Emma Emma okay all right we've been watching you and your mom on the cameras okay okay what is going on today I'm not sure what's going on with my mom but no no okay so you're not aware of anything what's been going on what's been going okay do I need to call my dad not right now so remind you we've been watching in the cameras fancy cameras that Walmart spent a lot of money on that can zoom in on a fly okay so keep that in mind we can zoom in where price tags used to be should do something with I'm giving you a CH chance know okay for me for you to tell me what's going on cuz if I have to go off the video right that puts me in a horrible spot right that you're backing me into a corner whereas you can just tell me okay mhm so you want to tell me I know my mom does some shitty stuff sometimes I don't like it but I just try to turn my head what kind of stuff like with the price tags but that's what she normally do with the price tags um just the like she tries to find a better deal for certain other things okay but so what does she so what does she do I don't know exactly cuz I try not to ask questions okay but you but I know it's not it's not right yeah okay but you're aware of what she does half and half kind of but not exactly okay should I call my dad because I 1% and if I do obviously your mom has his number yes put her phone dead give me Dad's phone number just because we we have to sort everything out I do not want to put you in mechanical exp if I don't have to you are being detained but not physically you understand that so far and so instead of instead of me physically putting you restraints in front of everybody I'm trying to avoid that you do have the right to silent anything you say can and we'll be using against you in court of law you have the right to talk to a lawyer and have your lawyer present with you while you're being questioned so you are aware that what your mom does she takes price tags from one item and puts them on a different item right yes but not confirmed I just kind of see it but we don't talk about it did you see it today with one thing yes one thing I'm I'm not trying to be a jerk here but these are really fan the cameras okay okay mhm so we can take all day and review the footage from every row every corner and if I see that you look at the camera weird if I see that you look on your shoulder weird if I see that you did anything like that you're you're Emma you're backing me into a corner I don't like being back into a corner okay so keep in mind these are fancy cameras okay so is it more than one thing that you saw but the with the price tag I don't I honestly don't really know I mean she does this sometimes and like I said I try to look away when she does it I saw she got pink for but she told me it was going to be to the price tag she got tape yeah okay did she bring the tape with her or did she did she get a tape from here I don't know I think it was from here though okay and and what was the purpose of using the tape to tape the clearance okay was it Yellow Tape red tape clear tape clear clear tape okay and you aware of the purpose of using the clear tape you you're aware okay so you understand why she was using the clear tape I just don't I don't say anything CU she's my mom and I know she struggles and I know it's wrong it just okay did you at all physically help her whether it's peeling off a piece of tape and and handing her that piece of tape so that way she could take that tape and put on the bar code or did did you assist with peeling off an old no not with that I she asked me to go get her tape but then by the time I got back she already had tape okay I did go get her tape but then she didn't even need it I actually put it back over there okay by the register okay and prior to coming here did you know what your mom was going to do yeah I don't really ever know like I said sometimes she just does it occasionally okay does she does she say a a code word does she give you a hint or she just decides spur the moment I'm going to do X okay hey how we doing um have you ever been arrested before no have you gotten in trouble before one time in New Jersey for being out past curfew but no not in trouble how long have you been to Florida three or four years okay so nothing like nothing Petty at the at the schools uh nothing when you were a juvenile under 18 where we had it like we had to call your mom or heard that nothing okay okay straight honor goody goody that's what I was okay and you're 19 are you in college have you ever heard of U Inc concert by association or the getaway driver or okay so it's the old it's the old it's the old saying the old story where you got the bank robbers and you have the actual robbers themselves and they run out to the car and the drivers knows what's going on he takes off right that's the getaway driver that driver was aware of what was taking place inside the bank even though that even though the driver did not hold up the bank did not carry the gun did not grab the money did not do anything in that bank the driver was still charged with bank robber or whatever happened right okay okay so it's basically sponsored by association or that you're you're the principal so so if law enforcement can prove that you were aware and you had knowledge of said crime you can be charged with that crime I didn't know that okay so that's why I'm asking you these series of questions if you understood what your mom was doing and her right okay like I said I kind of did I kind of did I just she's my mom and I don't want to get we know where the daughter's at right now she was up front with the other Deputy right after yeah they we grabbed both of them by the door you know they found any items on her I don't know actually think it might be in the vesle there all right I'm going to go I think I just she never does that never never ever ever my so we're still investigating with Mom okay I guess I guess she has some items on her um and we still have to figure out uh the price of everything I just watch the footage it look like she something while she's ice P ice pack hands that's it it's just an ice pack for lunch what you get that for the lunch box I this my phone it's my phone just hold on okay yeah so remember how I told you I don't want to embarrass you with the strengths from everybody right trying to teach you and treat you decent y okay you have anything else on you okay have you ever been searched by a female Deputy or an officer no okay you gave this man a whole SK about how you was unaware of this and how you going to school you trying to do the right thing I am while you had St no I understand I
