Guys, we'll get you out of here as soon as possible. >> All right. They scanned the four bookshelves. That's it. >> So, the four tall large bookshelves were scanned. >> he did the scanning. And then he helped push one cart out. She was in the handicap cart. Did they get them out to work? So, they're in the other door. >> So, we got one large What is that there? Is that bed sheets there? Was any of this stuff scanned? >> No. What was scanned is what she's got in her hand. >> Okay. So, what are we looking at there? What is this here? Is that some kind of >> It's a Christmas thing. >> A Reese's candy bar tree? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And that's a whatever's in this Walmart bag. And then they bring up um >> All from one self checkout? >> Yeah, all from 35. >> And you had a and then a blue Walmart bag full of full property. >> be two Walmart bags. >> There's one here >> and one there. >> This has got shoes in it. >> Okay. That's the self checkout. That's on the uh >> This side. >> This side. Pharmacy side. Okay. All right, guys. I'm going to give you a blanket uh Miranda warning, okay? So, listen up. All of you have the right to remain silent. Do we all understand? Is that a yes? >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. Sir? Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, obviously, we're looking out of here on camera. There were several items not scanned. Sir, if you if you would would Is there a reason we didn't scan multiple items? >> I don't know. I was just supposed to scan the stuff and the gun [clears throat] was acting up and I I stayed on >> We were out of between cards. >> So, if the if the gun doesn't work, it's free. Is that what your philosophy is here? I mean, it >> We were out of between card and cards. >> Well, let me explain something to you. It's common sense is that if you use a self checkout, you're responsible for everything in the in the cart has to be scanned, accounted for, and paid for. Otherwise, it's theft, okay? Do we all understand that? Okay. That's That's where we're at. I mean, we got You're all three or I'm sorry, all four right there standing in front of the register and there's several items here not being scanned. >> [snorts] >> I just came in with that. I >> Okay, but did you scan anything? We're going to make that determination by watching this video here. Okay, is anything in these two carts or the motorized cart in your vehicle? >> Plus tax, right? >> The only thing in line were these two. Um if you guys need to search my car, I'll unlock everything for you. >> guys both agree to that? There's nothing in these two carts or the the motorized cart that's in their vehicle or that belong to them. Is that correct? Okay. So, you guys were what? Just helping them? >> I was just driving around the handicap cart. >> So, if the gun was uh malfunctioning, why didn't we grab a >> He tried to grab a associate to help them. >> Okay. Well, yeah, you can't swap guns. Each gun is unique to each station. Okay. Like I said, that still doesn't absolve you of making sure everything's scanned. There's not an accident about that. That's that's showing full culpability that you know that the gun does not work and that the items not scanned. How's that an accident? That makes zero sense. >> Nothing in the bag was ever taken out of the bag to be placed on the scanner. >> It's not an accident. If it was one item or two, I could see that, but so what what is it? We don't we don't have money to pay for it or we just we do. I just simply can't pay for it. Well, we're past that. That's not an option at this point. >> [snorts] >> You got their information? Yeah. These two are right here. Okay. She's she's good. I thought everything was scanned. You know, again, I didn't know what was going on. You guys are both good to go. Do you need to search our car real quick? What about my bookshelves I picked? The bookshelf are in their vehicle. If you want to wait, give us a few minutes. If you want to wait outside this store here, we'll follow up with you in just a few minutes. Can we run to the bathroom real quick? You guys have to pay for that. Now, you take with you. So, everything's loaded in their vehicle now. We need to get a receipt of what they did pay for and then I'm going to recover the stolen items. We're going to run out and grab everything, bring it in here. That way we can get a receipt and get this thing going. So. Four book four bookshelves is what we paid. They're all hers. Is that Did you guys pay for those for her at the self checkout? So, they're they're intended for her, but you guys actually completed the transaction. Okay. So, I guess like I said, if you guys if money's not an issue why weren't the other things even attempted to be scanned? So it was the intention not to pay for those I don't the rest of the items? So are you implicating that your daughter was a part of that she she knew that? >> No, I'm saying that that was her stuff that we were paying for. >> The bookshelves? Right, the the only thing that was paid for was the bookshelves. Are we just not answering questions or I mean what? >> did, sir. >> Well I'm trying to be he's he's mumbling something I'm trying to be as transparent as possible so we can get to the bottom of this. >> You keep just flipping it on us like we're you're flipping everything on me. Yes you are. I'm trying to tell you explain to you and you're trying to burn my daughter in this [ __ ] Yes. >> That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to make sure she's not involved. >> Just saying all the stuff that we had I was purchasing for my daughter. >> Right, but there was there was only three there was only four things purchased the four bookshelves. >> Yes sir. Like and he was getting annoyed the scanner wouldn't work that's why I asked you the worker about the scanner. >> Mhm. >> Cuz he had four of them and he took two of them and after he did it whatever and then he paid for it and then I was supposed to pay for it cuz she had the card but I had the travel card so it was just a lot going on. >> Like I said it's more of a mix-up because there were several items in both of you guys' cart that weren't even attempted to be scanned. Okay, you guys I don't know what's so hard to grasp about that. I'm going to grab uh grab that stuff and bring it back. >> He's got his daughter's stuff. >> Okay. Are we is he bored at all from any of >> No, he's trustworthy. >> Okay. Both of you are under arrest at this point for theft, okay? All right, so the four bookshelves were purchased by them for you guys, correct? Uh yeah, looks like there was four bookshelves purchased. So this is different okay, this is what I'm looking at. Yeah, 184. This is just my copy here that they printed out. Did you make this purchase or did you buy >> Uh they did. I'm pretty sure they have >> For you guys? >> Yeah well yeah. >> So did you see them not scan all the other things? >> away and then I walked over here cuz she ended up walking away with the other stuff. I didn't know I had to walk with them. I had to know >> Okay. Let me make sure that they're okay with you guys getting those bookshelves out of their vehicle. And we'll go from there. You two okay with them getting their four bookshelves out of your vehicle? >> Hi Kelly. Can you drive my car? >> I just make I just want to make sure that was that was okay. The the bookshelves? >> Uh I did. >> Yeah it's all you guys are getting those. Then you guys are good to go. Well he did all the scanning so he's probably going to be going with us. Uh your mom's going to be released so if you want to wait around for her that's fine. All right you guys go ahead and start grabbing them bookshelves bookshelves only please. Is this popping there too? >> He's got 12 prior she's got seven. They're both been trespassed before. >> I don't care if they were >> Trespassed from all the other stores. >> As long as you guys can print something >> I can get the officer to say they've been trespassed. >> Yeah. Cuz he did all the scanning correct? >> She was in the chair. The other girl was in the chair. The black guy was in the chair. >> So they're all kind of hopping out. >> Yeah. >> So but he did all the scanning. >> And they finally came up to you. >> Okay. They did go off the other two the younger couple went off and made another transaction. They showed me a receipt for but they got some plausible deniability over he said he wasn't really paying attention they were purchasing the bookshelves for them. Yes I'll cut them loose and where he was the main scanner it's going to be hard to share that she has you know culpability in this. Um even though I'm sure she she knows >> She went out with the cart with stuff in it that wasn't >> He had stuff in there. >> Yeah she had the he left that cart. >> Yeah we'll walk to that car. Yeah and nothing of these scanned. Okay. That was in the handicap. Okay. Yeah I'm going to I'm fine with proceeding on both. >> All right. Oh that's ours. They want to see I need to get >> Yeah, we need to swap like an order one with a different trespass from >> previous one. It took a minute cuz this back here was >> Okay. >> two copies >> Right. >> I'm going to show him something. >> Okay. So, we And that was just issued in April. >> Oh, his doesn't expire indefinitely as well. >> Oh, his had indefinite, too? Then those were both good, Don. >> Yeah, it says indefinite. >> We're going to print that one out for her and Yeah, the first [snorts] one for Don was also indefinite. >> So, I'll >> The Castle's plan was like a 2-year deal. And then we applied for it to be removed the Walmart Court of Appeal. >> And you just click on it and it bring up the picture? >> Huh? >> And you just click on the trespass thing and bring up the picture? >> I thought but it didn't. >> You didn't You Did you click on this? >> Let me click on that. >> Did you send it to this printer? >> Yep. >> There it goes. >> It's slow. >> Just open it using one of your things. >> Accessory and criminal trespass and then regular theft and criminal trespass, but we're just going to be all together. >> Okay. >> Heather, you're going to be going to the Ross County Jail. I believe your daughter may still be outside. Do you want to release your vehicle to her? Okay. We'll swing back over there by it and see Anything else? >> Wait, can I get my purse and stuff from the car so >> Yeah, I'm going to search you before you get in my car, so you're Rookie, you already take off for the day or what? >> Yeah. >> He was kind of early. He was kind of standing here right in the middle of the mix with my You You Are you a suspect or what? Get on the passenger rear, okay? How far along are you? >> I'm right in the first trimester. This is Mr. Powell's daughter, so I don't have my >> Well, once we get to the jail, you're going to be uh immediately seen by the nurse, okay? So, if they want to release you, that's completely fine with me. She will not get booked in on accessory to theft and criminal trespass. I need to pat down the back of my hand. You just got a copy here. Look, I don't know if you have pockets in your pants. >> No. >> Okay, Nothing else in your bra and all that. I'll be seeing. Yeah, take your time. I'm going to see if uh sister is still over there or daughter is still over there and release the car. >> Okay.

The accessory is uh the trespass is on both. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. All right, boo. Got your key. Yeah, we're heading over there to see if they're still here. I think they might have got the heck out of dodge. >> I forgot where we're going from uh from there when you get to the jail. You want to call from the jail and they can come pick your key up from the jail. That's fine, too. >> Okay. >> I'm going to serve back your clear for custody. Uh you're being charged with complicity to theft and criminal trespass. Okay, the criminal trespass stems from a an April 2025 incident at a different Walmart where you were trespassed from all Walmart property. In the United States of America. You signed it. We have a copy of it. Yeah. So, uh that's what that that charge stems from. The complicity to theft is obviously being pregnant while uh there and uh chose not to ring up all the items. Okay? So, that's what you're being booked in on. I'm not going to issue any paperwork. You'll be held until court tomorrow. Okay? All right. >> The couple was arrested and charged with theft.
