three separate times for SC and stuff. I called her over. I said, "This thing's saying that it's not scanning." She comes over three times to help me and I said, "Did something not scan or was not scanned?" She said, "Everything was scanned. You're fine. Go ahead." Three separate times the thing went off. She said, "This thing's messed up. Is something's not scanned?" I said, "Did something not scanned? Please let me know." And she said she checked the machine, went up and down three separate times, and said everything was scanned. They meet me at the corridor and say that some things weren't scanned inside the car. Three separate times I follow the lady. On a routine day in Gurnie, Illinois, Antoine Smith, a police officer, was caught in a shoplifting scandal at a local Walmart where he allegedly failed to scan items at a selfch checkout kiosk. According to Breitbart News, underringing is the practice of deliberately scanning items at a lower price than their actual value or intentionally not scanning merchandise during the checkout process. Surveillance footage captured Smith bypassing scans, contradicting his claim that he sought assistance from a store associate three times to ensure all items were scanned. The associate reportedly assured him everything was scanned. Yet, the video evidence revealed unscanned items in his cart with the total value far exceeding the $80 he paid. This discrepancy led to his apprehension by store security who identified the intentional act of underringing based on the footage. >> Yeah. So she she wasn't sure if she didn't say that anything was miscanned or not scanned, but they said that there's video of something. So just give us a second. We'll figure it out on video. We'll go from there. There's nothing else to do at this point. Just they're saying one thing. So most are trying to do any transit. >> Nobody right now. >> Call anybody. >> Well, I would say that I don't know what's happening. I don't know if there's anything to to do at this point, but you're either way, you're still going to have to tell somebody. >> Sure. >> No, that's not I mean like I need a call now. Oh. 2057. It doesn't sound like an active for the caller anymore. A little bit purple. This white color is still >> I don't understand why the associate that I called over to help me three times Yeah. would tell me everything was fine. >> Cuz I called But what I'm saying is if someone was trying to take something, >> why would they not, >> you know, why would they not why would they call over the associate to help them? And I'm not I'm frustrated, but not necessarily at you. But if someone's calling over for help, saying, "Hey, is this scanning properly?" And they're telling me, "Yes, why would I don't understand why it would continue to go forward is what I'm not understanding. There you are. Heat. Heat. I don't see her. Does she relocate her? Heat. Heat. 221 something. >> So, can I take a look at here? Yeah. Can you back up? back to where Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. In a dramatic twist, Antoine Smith was arrested by his colleagues from the Gurnie Police Department, underscoring the irony of an officer facing justice from his own peers. Under Illinois state law, shoplifting is when someone takes an item from a store without paying for it. As noted by Weeden Law, the video evidence clearly showed Smith's failure to scan multiple items constituting retail theft processed on site rather than at the police station he was charged with one count of retail theft and placed on administrative leave. Smith's defense questioning why he would call for assistance if he intended to steal, was overshadowed by the surveillance footage, which provided undeniable proof of his actions, leaving no room for his explanations to alter the outcome. We're just in a holding pattern. I call the know what's happening. This is where we're at right now. Just give me a second. >> All right, dude. So, based on video, right, there's multiple times in video where you're not scanning something, right? Based on the amount of money that was underrun versus what you paid, I would assume that it's you would know that what you had in your cart was more than $80. And then the two statements that they're giving, right? I have to do something. So, I have to charge you. Okay. Um, what we're going to do is we're just going to charge you here. Not going to bring you back to the station. Um, and we're going to go forward from there. Okay. All right, I'm going to go out to my car. Car. >> Okay. At this point, you're on administrative leave. Okay. >> Um, somebody will contact you tomorrow. I'm not sure if that'll be the DC or the chief, but do I um So, I know you're obviously Yes. But if I'm resigning, how does that process work? >> I I don't have an answer for that. I I don't >> at this point, you're on administrative leave and we'll get all of you tomorrow. Don't show up tomorrow. >> Okay. >> Are you armed right now? >> No. >> Okay. >> I don't have any uh >> anything from work. >> Okay. Stay here. >> Yeah. Yeah. You hear by yourself? >> Yes. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. All right, man. We uh court date is Oh, I didn't even write down there. You might be here. It's the 28th >> at the county building. >> Okay. >> 8:45. >> All right. >> All right. >> Any questions? >> No. >> Following his arrest, Antoine Smith faced immediate professional fallout, including administrative leave and a court date set for July 28th, 2025. In the context of retail challenges, retailers have been struggling with problems associated with their self-checkout kiosks as shoplifting and theft incidents rise as reported by industry sources. Smith's inquiry about resigning during the incident suggested an attempt to mitigate the consequences, but he was informed only that he was on leave and should not report to work the next day. The public exposure of his actions, backed by clear video evidence, not only damaged his reputation, but also served as a powerful reminder that even law enforcement officers are accountable under the law when their corrupt actions are exposed.
