You're the one hiding under a bed. I don't know what you have or what you're doing. >> I don't have anything. >> Listen. >> So, today's body cam features a woman who took a simple trespassing complaint and thought to herself, "You know what this situation needs? Some more bad decisions." What follows is the officers allowing multiple chances for this woman to take her belongings and just go. And of course, she refuses every solution presented to her. And she somehow still acts shocked when a free ride out of the campground results in a free ride to jail. >> On June 10th, 2023, officers responded to a campground for a call of a woman trespassing. >> So, we have the campground down here. >> Yep. >> Someone I don't know how they got in here, if they took somebody's key, or if they just drove around cuz her car is beat to [ __ ] Okay. Uh but she is hiding inside a camper. And I knocked several times. >> Is it on your property then? >> Yes. Okay. >> But she is not supposed to be down here. >> Sure. >> At all. It's like the like the person she used to date has nothing to do with her. And uh >> Does the person she used to date have your had your permission? To what? To be here? >> Yeah. >> He rents a lot, but she is not on the lease. >> Okay. >> She and he's not even down here. >> Okay. >> She's down here by herself. Just I don't know how she got down here. I don't know if she drove around the gate because, you know, there's no water, sure, whatever. But she was causing problems last night and uh threatened somebody on Facebook this morning >> Okay. >> that's down here. So, if she's not supposed to be here at all. >> Okay. >> So, I I'll uh are you coming down too or >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I'll let you guys pull in so I can knock this stuff. >> Sure. Melissa, it's the sheriff's office. Come to the door, please. >> [clears throat] >> Melissa, come to the door. It's going to get forced and you're just going to go to jail. Come to the door. You're not under arrest right now, but you need to speak with me. >> I love how they add in the whole you're not under arrest right now. >> [laughter] >> It's like their gentle way of saying you better come out and talk to us otherwise we're going to come in and get you and you're not going to like it. >> Melissa, come to the door now. Melissa, come out here now. >> We got a closed door in the room. >> I'm going to go less lethal. >> I used a less lethal but I'll go less. >> Melissa, come out here now. >> Solid. >> Can you lift up the wood lift up? Get out here. >> Melissa. >> Get out here now. You're going to get tased. Are you stuck? Are you stuck? >> No, I'll be fine. >> She under that the freaking storage bed? I DID. >> [laughter] >> I COULDN'T EVEN TELL IT WAS HER. I COULDN'T EVEN TELL IT WAS HER. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A PILE OF CLOTHES or something. AND THEN THEY lifted up and they're like, "Melissa, come out." And you just hear you JUST HEAR HER >> [laughter] >> THEY'RE LIKE, "ARE YOU STUCK? Are you stuck?" Wow, she was hiding under the the the storage bed. Wow, wow. Is she stuck?

Don't [ __ ] reach for nothing. I told you to stop. I told you to stop. >> Holy [ __ ] >> Quit reaching for [ __ ] I don't know what you have in here. >> pretending like I am >> Stop. >> I mean, you're acting like I am crazy. >> Oh, lady, it's cuz you look crazy. They found your ass hiding under a bed. >> [laughter] >> You were stuck. You were stuck and pinned under a storage >> [laughter] >> under a storage bed. They're acting like you're crazy because you appear crazy. And I I wish that people understood why police take the precautions that they do and they have to treat everybody the same because they have to protect themselves. They have no idea what you're capable of. They could have literally lifted that storage bed and you could have started shooting at them. They don't know. And come on, let's let's look at the situation as a whole here, honey. You look crazy, okay? There's nothing about you that doesn't look crazy. I'm just just being real. Look like a nut job. You look like you need to be escorted to the funny farm, okay? Let's just let's just be truthful and honest here about this current situation that I don't even understand. Like So, she's squatting? She's staying in this guy's in this guy's camper and she doesn't have the right to be there? Like, what are you doing, lady? >> You're the one hiding under a bed.

Would you believe that? >> I believe that. But I'm not lying to you. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> I mean, you know you know that you're not allowed on this property, right? >> Yes, and I'm going to leave. I will absolutely leave, but I did not I have not done anything wrong. I have not >> Well, you're you're trespassing. You're trespassing. >> I am but I'm not because he told me I could be here. He was supposed to be bringing my stuff.

You're probably going to go to county IF YOU DON'T GIVE THEM A location to drop your drunk ass off at. They will make the decision for you and you're not going to like it, please. For your own sake, just give them a place. Just give them a location to drop you off of and then figure it out later. Oh my God, she's going to go to jail. She's going to go to jail. >> I've myself out here. >> drive out.

So, what are you going to do? >> I'm asking you. >> What are you going to do? >> I'm asking >> need that. Right now, what I have is somewhere to lay my head. >> I understand that. >> So, leave me to be here where I have somewhere to lay my head. >> Yep, you're under arrest. You're going to jail. >> What do you guys want? Please. >> I wanted you to comply. Stop. Stop. Put your hands behind your back. You got them? >> Yeah. We've given you about 800 opportunities. >> What do you guys want me to do right now? >> Well, nothing cuz you're going to jail. >> I mean, seriously, where am I supposed to be? >> Stand up. >> Stand up. >> Where am I supposed to be this person?

Both of us have our body cameras on and you were absolutely not that person. >> All right. >> So, let's go. >> The woman was charged with criminal trespassing [music] and resisting arrest. >> So, there is one lesson to take away from today's body cam, right? Not every arrest starts with a major crime. Sometimes it just starts out with a simple request followed by a terrible decision followed by another terrible decision followed by about 50 more terrible decisions. They really did give her opportunities. They're like, you know, "Tell us. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO DROP your drunk ass off? Just give us a place." And she couldn't do it. I understand that she didn't want to be dropped off somewhere if she didn't have the money for it, like a restaurant or a hotel or a freaking bar or, you know, whatever. But, dang, man, she just It didn't have to be that way. It didn't have to be that way. Man, that hiding place was a good one though. Hiding in [laughter] that Hiding in the storage under the bed, that'd been a good one if the cops didn't think to look in there.
