shopping for a baby shower and she denied switching barcodes she explained that the store employee had noticed the pants hadn't been scanned and mentioned the barcode issue she asked about swapping the pants for another pair but the employee radioed someone and they decided to leave without purchasing anything hey how old are you I'm 18 18 okay I just wanted to make sure um sit back for me and then look that way so for sure you have one more you might also have another one so you might have two warrants okay but for sure you have one warrant one's for failure to pay fines and then the other one we don't know yet uh as far as I'm concerned that's the only one I have for wordss cuz uh I had talked to the judge and he said I had a 90day thing I paid the mark and then they called me early April saying that I didn't pay and I told him that I did and then she told me that I would just have to talk to the judge that's what I was waiting on and yeah yeah so you're that one is for to pay fines and then my dispatch is confirming right now to's see if you have a second one out of state police okay so just Aang tight okay so here's what happened okay I'm going to read you something okay so it's for me to be able to talk to you about the stuff that happened at Walmart Okay you have the right to remain silent do you understand your rights yes understand your rights you're willing to speak to me uh yeah okay clearly where guys are at Walmart you and Amilia were in the store together walking around okay were you guys switching barcodes and clothes and stuff um no no okay the officer explained that security footage would determine the truth of the matter if it showed they were indeed attempting to steal charges would follow however the officer suggested that if the store was willing to accept payment for the items the situation might be resolved without criminal charges so if I go look at the video footage it's not going to show that okay so what were you guys doing in the store then um well I have a baby show to right now so we're just going to look for new diap other stuff that I could possibly get to okay and um what happened with Walmart where they're pretty much stopped you guys from taking whatever you guys have um they didn't take anything we were uh going to scan and I guess I don't know what happened something about pants so the lady had said that we had only uh t-shirt scan that we didn't scan the pants so she was like all right well what about the pants and then she was like well this you don't have the bright bar coat on it and she was like and I asked I was like okay well is there like another PA like can we go get another parents it I you knowbly get another attack and she was like uh she radioed someone uh and then we were just like it's okay never mind we're just going to go okay so they okay so here's what's going to happen Okay we're going to take you guys to Walmart okay I got to look at this footage confirm one that it's both you two okay and whether or not you you shoplift it or not okay so if there's no bar switching or anything like that or where what's you're doing is reasonable in nature in terms of trying to scam the stuff then we'll address that okay however if the video does show that you know you're trying to switch tags you're clearly not trying to pay for items okay we're going to have to address that okay all right hang on okay we're going to have to go to Walmart okay now everybody wants to be shopping there like two other ones just came out huh just one one suppos of shop lifting I don't know if it's true or not okay I'm going with you man yeah follow [Music] me he all right hold on let me hop in here and figure out hello I got both of them so cool so she notices label switched with this the ERS are okay she said she was trying to go get stuff for a baby shower that's really what she was talking about Amilia I watched the video I saw the entire thing right one of the suspects offered to pay for the items but the officer clarified that the store would need to make the final decision if the store refused payment criminal charges would proceed the officer also informed the first suspect about two warrants for contempt of court one local and one from out of state you scan you scan two items and then you just start Reaching Across and putting them in the bags okay there you weren't attempting to scan them it's not what it looks like at all okay home girl has makeup and all kinds of stuff in the cart okay you give her a bag she starts putting in that bag never even left the cart

yeah there def for um so let for a baby shower yeah okay so let me ask you this okay you have the money to pay for the items yeah but why are we why are we trying to get a fast one on Walmart I don't know like why I don't know it's you see what I'm saying like if you have the money to to take care of your business right is is it worth all this trouble we're in right now you got the cops involved you could have just bought your stuff and been on your way to this baby shower I'm sure that's where you're going to right okay but now we're here and we got the cops involved with something that you could have PID for can I pay for it all now I can pop in there and talk with them if they decline that then then that's going to be their decision okay I'll ask them okay I'll I'll ask them if they they're okay with that they may say no if they say no then we're going to have to go the criminal route here okay so here's what's going to happen okay she's going to jail regardless okay let me pop in your ass if if they're okay with you paying for all the items or not if they are then cool if not then we're going to address it the other way which is the criminal way okay and then that will decide what we're going to do with you okay okay I just want to let you know you do have two warrants for sure so okay one's out of state police for contempt of court and then the other is out of here magistrate court for failure to pays contempt of court so you did something that the judge didn't like or you didn't follow his rules whatever it was okay so I just wanted to kind of keep you upd
