But they were told you you were trespassed, right? Not really. They just told me um not to come in. That doesn't mean you're trespassed then. It was like one of the workers. He was having a bad day. He's like, "I just don't want you back in the store." Yeah. It'll mean nothing. Hang tight for us. Okay. Let's figure out what's going on because Cor wants to do something different. Yeah. She's watching with the kids on the video. I watched the video. It's all on the on the surveillance. What's going on? We're trying to figure something out. I know my supervisor wants to do something different. Okay. What would you supervise? We're scared. That's what we're trying to figure out. Hey, remember look. You remember the last time we weren't scared. Nothing bad happened. I was scared. Nothing bad happened. What do you mean? Wait a second. You're like, how do you know? We're Wait, let me let me see what's going on. You're like, how do you know she's going to jail? I was like, cuz. And then I was like, mom, you're going to jail. And look what happened. She went to jail. Look, I'm not pregnant. I don't know what's happening now. Me either. Cuz I just got told I'm free to go. And then give us a minute and figure out what's going on. Okay. What the hell's going on? You don't get a job so hard. I'm not Maria dies her real quick. Okay, let's walk this way. What's up? What's going on with her? Please don't I'll explain in a sec. I don't really I don't really know. No, I'm scared. What are you scared for? Everything's fine. Don't even do everybody. Just stop. Calm down. Shut up. I want to know what's going on. Okay. All right. You want to know what's going on? So the there's video that shows that you put a blanket in your kid's possession and I told them not to do it. You told them not to do what? So you put the blanket in their possession? I put it in there cuz they said they want it and I looked at my wallet and I didn't have a money and I told them not to do it. As as the adult, why didn't you take the belonging away from them knowing that you couldn't afford it? Why didn't you take it away and why did you let them walk out the door? I didn't let them walk out. I was already out of the building, right? You didn't even you didn't supervise them on on any aspect. Okay. And then you can even ask my daughter. She even told them I told him not to. All right. So, hang tight. What's up? She's going to jail. It's okay. She is going to jail. Yes, she is. Perfect to know. I told you I'd tell you whatever you wanted to know. Thank you. It's for putting in the bag. What's up? It's for putting in the bag. Huh? Because she told us not to shop list. I'm not really sure. I'm not the primary W. Not all cops are dicks. Most of them are so nice to me. I mean, I didn't do anything wrong. So, it's on video. You put one in the bag and I told him not I didn't have enough money and I told him not to do it. I couldn't do it. And then you all and then all y'all walk out. I didn't all walk out. I was way over across the It's on video. Y'all right in front. You go and then they follow you out. So, why did you put the one in her bag if I put enough paper but my Well, unfortunately, this is where we're at. No, it's not. Whatever. Cuz now I'm getting You have the hard drive with the video. Yeah. Can I get that, please? All right. Do you I mean, so is there a reason why why she walked out with it? I know. Do you I mean, you're you're the adult here. Is there a reason why she walked out or not? And so then why didn't you take the items out of your bag and and put them back? The fish is gone. That's fine. You don't have to lean against it this time. Is there a reason why? I just sat there and told her to put it back. She didn't put it back. Okay. But you're the adult one getting charged and they're getting because you're the adult. When I just got Why would you and I'll be charged when you're the adult and you're respect when the other cop just sat there and said he was going to give me a break. Well, no, we want we just watched the video. I know. Myself and Corporal Quint. He even said the video. The full video wasn't done at No, we're past that. Like I said, the video that we just watched, you're deliberately putting the stuff in the bag and y'all are all walking to the front and then you stop. You start walking and they follow you right behind and I was talking to them telling them not to do it, but I didn't have the money for it. Then why didn't you stop them or tell them to go back inside? Like loss prevention had to come out and stop him. Loss prevention was right at the door with them. So why didn't you stop? Say, "Hey, no, I told him not." walked back up and was banging on the door to try to talk to him. Like I said, video right there. Nope. I won't. This was cut into my leg. It's cuz you keep turning it. We'll fix it in a second. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Spread your feet and lean against the car. I thought it's fine. Don't worry about it. Okay. Spread your feet and lean against the car. I am up against the car. How much more you want me against it? Are you on probation right now from the DUI arrest? No, I'm out on bond. You're out on bond. Okay. So, is this a violation? Stop turning your wrist. Turn it the other way. Just let the jail know she is out on bond for the other charge. Probably going to get revoked. And you're okay with that lady taking the kids, right? Okay. Um, so just kind of like basic rundown of like what's going on cuz I I was out on the DUI arrest from last time. So, yay. Cuz I that's why I know who you are with them. Like I know they've you know all that. I'm just going to hang out my daughter this time around. Um, I mean, ba basically it's pretty cut and dried. They're all inside. She's holding one of the items that was stolen. Mhm. Puts it in one of the kids' bags and then they all proceed to the front and leave. Again, we don't have audio. Obviously, we're going based off of what's on the video, but obviously when you see her put the stuff in the kid's bag and then walk out and then the kids walk out and she's like, "Oh, but I told him not to steal it, so she knew it was in there." And then she doesn't come back and say, "Hey, no, don't stay inside." I get it. I It's right. So, um, is she out on bond or is she on probation for the DUI arrest? No, she was out on bond. She was supposed to have court. I think it was yesterday or the day before. She got in there from what she's told me, they dropped the felony charge. I think it just dropped her DUI or like a reckless or something the day before for the felony charge for the child neglect, right? And then she went and tried to figure out her next court date. They don't even know her next court date. So, I don't know whether that DUI was dropped. I don't know any other information than that from what I've received from her. Okay. Hey, we've been How many times have I seen you now? Twice. But it's my fault this one. Hey, listen. What's your name again? Ashley. Ashley. We've been here so many times and I get you're trying to protect your mom, but that one's actually out. Hear me out. Because I have my kids money. I know you're trying to protect your mom, but it's wrong. I know. She needs as as your parent, she needs to look out for you. Look, Ashley, you cannot continue to protect her decisions. The choices she makes is the choices she makes. Okay? I want to see you do better. I've seen you more than enough times in situations that you should not be in. It's okay. Wait, so I'm not I don't have to do nothing because Okay, thank God. How did they get here? The van. Okay. Cuz she has suspended license, too, and she knows that. So, I just want to at least talk to you and give you an idea. Uh that that's kind of what's going on. So, would you want me to go ahead and take the van? Would you rather it sit here until tomorrow? That's up to her. It's her van and that's up to Target. The target's okay with it staying overnight until someone can get it. I can take it. Like that. Don't bother me. Okay. Do you want to Will you take her uh to go ask her if she wants her to take the van out of here and all that? Sure. All right. So, you're okay with her taking your kids in the car? All righty. We'll do. Huh? Is she good with taking the van? Yeah. Yeah, they're fine with that. Kids in the van. What do you have for the citation? Subject selected a blanket bag. Mom placed the blanket inside presumed to be mom. That's why I put in there. Yeah. So I said that he took it. Well, but mom placed the blanket inside of a red bag they entered the store with. They moved towards the front. Mother exited the juveniles. Yeah, cuz mom put So mom puts it in the bag and then they all [ __ ] and they all leave. So did you watch the whole video? He only showed me them walking out. That's why I said you want to pursue charges on the juke when I was when I was in there. Yeah, they all So, just make just just make just make sure when you're reading statements that they provide and you see if you see something like that, like if mom is placing stuff inside the like I said, I went off this young male. I I know. I know what I'm saying. But if that's what he's putting in here, you got to watch the whole video because if you're just watching them leaving, but he's saying that mom put it in there. Like I got it's just I mean, dude, I'm not like I said, I get it. You know, it's juveniles, but mom mom literally puts it in the bag and then it's like they all direct towards the front and leave. Ashley, we got to take a deep breath. Can't be going off. Look, can't be can't be home. I know you're going to go home. Okay, but you can't be flying off the rocker right now. Can we go home? You can go home. You guys are free to go. Okay, you guys are good to go. We're good to go. Yeah, you're fine. I'm not going to get a No, you're perfectly fine to go. Okay, you got everything. Mhm.
