from the last the last hit they got last week I got the he's got cash on him how much you not much has to be over a th may I don't think so when officers work as a team you know their city is a safer place to be catching two criminals in one go is a great achievement their dedication paid all these officers deserve a reward for their hard work because it took some Savvy sleuthing and intelligence to pull this off well you know so you know what what you know what started all this so last week I worked a day of overtime they popped they popped an older lady for 18 Grand and I called Smith when I heard that I was like bro call C on that one that's major fraud him I called him he's like you you think they'll come out I'm like yes I show them so then when I heard this one come out and I was like

the first scammer was charged with fleeing reckless driving obstruction of justice and exploitation of the elderly while the second was only charged with exploitation of the elderly when arrogance and stupidity meet you get a guy like Jose I guess he forgot that real IDs don't match fake checks after attempting check fraud on February 1st 2023 the bank tellers were quick to ID the man and covertly alert the authorities Jose was attempting to cash out another $2,000 check from one of his victims who had already reported the crime he kept acting clueless and giving vague answers but the police were having none of it where are you from from H wow what brings you all the way to palom Gardens came here why why are you telling me cuz this is not our first day oh come on bro it's not our first day no no I'm not I'm not I'm not so being being listen listen I'm not insulting your intelligence my I hope I hope not and don't call me my dear it's officer oh I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry okay Officer um the primary officer will will come in and talk with you but just so you know honesty goes a very long way with us all right get it okay so if you tell us why you're up here yeah might that might help you I know why you're up here right playing stupid and dumb and oblivious I'm not I'm not stupid I'm not saying you are but I was playing playing like it like acting like you we don't like you don't know what we're talking about why we're here oh come on that's the [ __ ] to go with no man I don't talk [ __ ] you [ __ ] right now cuz the smile on your face tells me otherwise like I told you my smile what what do you want me to C me to put you this way this is you've been up in this area between North Lake and here the same First Bank you've been out a smile and a cocky attitude won't get you out of criminal charges the police cooperated with the bank employees to trace his activity watch the differences in Behavior between law-abiding employees and the thief so go ahead and run me through what happened he walked into the branch he came to the transaction bar that's the T Station our Branch looks a little different we asked for his ID he gave the ID he said he needs to cash a check it said kitchen cabinet on like the left side the memo she said oh you do kitchen work he said yes I said we got to ask you a few questions before we cash the check so I had to ask him for the Social Security make sure the information was correct that he was providing is this the check no where is the check back at my Branch I didn't know I needed to bring it I'm sorry um cuz they have gone to previous bank so the other branch manager in Lakeworth sent out an email when he left Lakeworth but she before he went to that L brch before the email came up but I got it before he came here so then Lisa called me and while I'm talking to so he walked right in I'm like oh that's I no I was telling them about what Lisa was saying and then he walked in and that's it so I asked him and he says you only get a cash a checks I said okay Brianna will be more than happy to assist you Brianna is tell her and he went up to Brianna so I said I have to come around and help you Brianna cuz I wanted to let her know who he is and I went to it might have been easy to identify the guy but the employees are clearly upset by their mistake it's not every day that a scammer just waltes in and cashes a fake check luckily it didn't take long for the employees to spread the word and Jose was caught in the act in other branches in Florida the bank was willing to press charges and the police Contin their investigation we were like oh we're going to have to kind of create a profile but we already knew who he was that so we were just kind of stalling and then I was like so what brings you know your see fromia while you're down here and he said he's working on cabinets and he does cabinets which then if you look on the check that's the check reflect um and then that was pretty much it and yeah well I wasn't I just interacted with him physically him talking to him while Talia and Andrea were talking but he's dumb because let me tell you something they back back there were talking about you know what was happening and then calling you guys and then they walked there that man just turn around and set now like you're an idiot um but yeah and then that was pretty much what happened like you guys came in a few minutes he was talking about cabinets we distracted him all right easy peasy thank you even the new employees knew how dumb he was being with his fraudulent attempts yet he'll keep trying to play the fool it was at this point that the police were informed he had an arrest warrant in Virginia let's see if our officers can get some truth out of him you know what know what yeah on what now you want to know how bad it is how bad you messed up exactly ask what like I said best to be honest with us what come on man and he laughs like that's like the crazy [Music] part when people laughs doesn't mean they happy it means you're nervous it means you're n exctly exctly I I am nervous I swep my hands and you're and you're you you have a nervous laugh a nervous smile but about what I already hear to the Handcuff right as soon as we all walked in he started laughing at us no not at y'all I'm not laughing at y'all no okay I know you're not laughing at us no no don't get it like that CU it's n laugh I've been respectful you have been and we appreciate all right I'm not saying you're laughing at us it's a nervous laugh it's a nervous smile all right I'm a nervous person well you messed up today and that's why you're nervous cuz you know what happened you know what you did we know what you did that's why we're here that's me being honest with you that's not me lying to you that's not me that's me being straight up I no I just want you to know I'm not laugh I do guys some suspects like to pretend that by answering questions even if dishonestly it can be considered as respectful others like to throw in a nervous chuckle to MK their intentions Jose here tried both Eddie still ended up staying in those handcuffs police reached out to his second victim who had this to say ma'am we already recovering yes this is basically what happened to in a nutshell someone grab a hold of your checks made one out to himself you got payment for it and he's been doing this all over the county okay um fif Third Bank basically communicated between themselves saying hey this is a guy he might be coming and trying to cash some checks we CAU wi of it and we were able to arrest him after he cashed your check and recovered the money so basically what El was asking you will you press charges for this guy will you have him placed into jail for what he did yeah yeah okay the police took a long-distance statement from the victim it turns out Jose had been stealing checks from their mail but that wasn't the whole story he had reset contact information and tried changing passwords leaving a long and very easy to find paper trail behind the police made their arrest and brought Jose to an interrogation room where he revealed that he wasn't acting alone I'm very familiar with this process but I kind of need you to spell it out for me as if I had no idea what's going on um when they met up with you were you supposed to get money in return for doing it or drugs no so what were you making out of it money money how much were you supposed to get off of each check we didn't talk about it you didn't talk about it so you had no idea what you're working with no so then why did you agree to do it CU I was desperate or making the money but you had no idea how much you were going to make off of each transaction and this is your first time doing it here in Florida yeah okay what about any other state I'm not going to ask you questions I don't know the answers to so you've been very honest but I know you know more he goes on to reveal many more essential details about the criminal operation he was hired to work for the checks were being stolen by an unidentified suspect and Jose was hired to be the sucker whose job it was to cash bad checks the interrogation didn't reveal much else other than possible motives and possible lies does anybody know what you're doing no what about your mom no especially not my mom what would your mom say you were right here right now I really don't want to talk about it cuz she she has some some really bad health issues and that's the the most thing you know bothering me right now that is going through my mind and do you live with your mom yeah yeah um and you don't want her to go back with the pill issues because are you her only son um um yeah I'm I'm not her only favorite you're the favorite you're

someone's issuing you a check for work that you did not do and they're having they're driving you around like I tell you I I don't know nothing about this I really don't you were comfortable of doing that like I wasn't like on my mind I I wasn't doing nothing wrong like I told you he truly believed he'd done nothing wrong getting handcuffed must have come as a huge surprise after the intense line of questioning from the interrogator he couldn't play dumb for very long he was finally charged and later prosecuted for fraud and Larsen on January 21st 2023 an elderly woman sold her truck to an old friend little did the innocent seller know that the buyer had some Wicked intentions police show up at the sell's house to get to the bottom of this story The bewildered woman couldn't understand what was happening but the officer seemed to know what was up I just don't want what about if it was me in the truck and I was somewhere that I saw I saw who was in the truck the thing is these people are

crucial information she provided LED them further down this Rabbit Hole hi Destiny he what's happening not a whole lot what you up to moving out of here oh I think I think you know what's up no I

truck that's how I got the plates stop playing games with me come on the officers could tell something was up Destiny's uncooperativeness didn't helped the matter and no one else seemed willing to

man do you have a Le it's okay man come here let me talk to you for a second man Fu that okay well you want to play the games well I'm going go talk to manager right now too I was going to try to shat

there sounds good that sounds good man go and get him a chat with the owners of the apartment complex led the officers straight to the CCTV footage they needed to confirm the suspect's whereabouts as we're about to see police officers are never far behind a dumb criminal Justin come here man back we knew you were in there man yeah I know you could hear you pushing the stuff blocking the the doorway oh I wasn't blocking the doorway though no you just didn't want to come out yeah bro all right the units in the air you took off this way again huh you see all the units in the area you took off this way again no I saw FZ F oh yeah over there in his charger and I heard that there was a lot of you guys out there that's I was just like you know I should have did that in the first place but

awesome man I appreciate it Justin knew a long time ago that it was game over at least these fraudsters don't tend to be violent is desperate for cash desperation can lead to a lot of mistakes which is what led the police straight to Justin where are you getting these checks from h i i buy them from people you really okay who you buying from um there's a lot of people that come through the Sands you know what I mean yeah that place is just like out of control yeah you know yeah and I you know I do Blues so so so people are just rolling inside of the Sands and just how much you buying the check for a blue two sh yeah they're going in hand mailboxes you know I mean yeah just you know I used his name because he he stole a lot of he stole everything from me that's he stole everything from me ever since I've been up here I've been getting all my shit's gone cuz everyone takes [ __ ] from me you know it's just because I'm not from here you know what I mean that's why I've already to the point where I just everybody you know what I mean like the people that were trying to protect me at the Sands they weren't protecting me they were just they just use me Little Joe in them yeah get so it's just like Little Joe's a PP dude it's just like you know I like was like you know I've heard a lot about you you're the one that I did not want to run into you know what I mean it's no wonder Justin gave up so easily that doesn't mean there aren't others out there like him which is why he's sitting in this room right now Justin seems to be willing to exchange some information on other criminals for some leniency so the officer takes the chance okay like the bottom was a good sorry but tell me who's selling guns who's selling drugs tell me where do you get your drug from you know tell me about the S I mean there's plenty do so you just pick one you know that's legitimate enough to where I can sit there and contact enough people and say hey do you have you heard about this

them two are pushing a lot of a lot of dope where do they where are they hang out at um blade and canace live in the back uhhuh they're the ones that you know put me on to the checks yeah Justin might just be signing his own death certificate by being recorded while snitching should any of his accomplices catch wind of it he might end up losing another finger his confession will cost him a lot more than some jail time once he gets out and that's the price of criminal Behavior he was prosecuted for possession of forged documents identity theft and contempt of court on December 19th 2023 a police officer working in West Salem Wisconsin received a troubling call from an uneasy sounding woman who had just been approached by a police officer or so she thought after describing the individual as impaired she informed the officer that he wasn't wearing any official markings or credentials I got on the phone and I was really like looking him over I could see it whatever headset he had on was fake you know I could see like probably there's a cognitive disability here it was so disconcerning because I just did not like the way that he end approached me in such a small area he's not a Reserve officer is he no he has no legitimate claim to to a bad no charges I just want to make sure that he was talked to and understand that that's not okay said here so what exactly is going on here is this guy some kind of creep either way the officers need to gather more information before making any assumptions cuz there's no telling how this guy might react when approached by policemen strangely enough the man himself placed a call making more strange claims so the police tried to find out what they could people cuz the government secretary told them that and he works for John seagull okay that's why he's out here he's a reserve he collects soda cams and turns them into the sheriff's house takes him down to Vine Street ands him off in the office did he imagine talking to somebody over by the do uh he's got a picture of a pickup that he said their right tire spun in the sand back there okay and he took a picture of their license plate and the sand and that's why he called because they spun their right tire all right okay it didn't really look as we saw it didn't take long for the officers to find the individual he's not running or doing anything else at all so what's this guy's deal Mom other than that justs for John seagull and works for White Hall PD and he's a reserve for lacrosse and he has a gun that lacrosse PD keeps in the evidence room he told you he works for John seag when the officer asked can you tell me what happened on at the dog park I went down at the truck because of a GS came door and they said regardless all vacuum cleaning out the vacuum and I see just pump the door you don't know why just show yourself and try to out why and I did a secret service use safe walk on I check the neighborhood decided to walk back on here and check if they were dragged out there's a b shaped pattern okay near po line over least two of them were okaying out on the ground as you saw no clear information can be obtained from him an expert might be able to identify a disability of some kind here therefore the officers decide to remain cordial and follow procedure a police officer or Reserve Independence one at one point and I okay but you're not though right discuss out of status but I also was in TR County sh there's a 2015 call off the Garland house okay regardless that arrest for person in a police officer okay so you put your hand behind your back I didn't even oh do you have any identification that will prove that you at an independence or White Hall police off officer or Reserve officer if you have it yet this time are required lawfully to present it to me I'm 66 okay I'm going to take it as a no 6 not in the system is that why you're arguing not arguing we're just telling you with what to fix that good yep double launch yep Shi No back to my squad the 28-year-old male goes on to explain his work to the officers but none of it explains the reason for the impersonation could he just be confused I think it's clear that the officers don't feel threatened let's see if his belongings might give us any answers other than your phone I have two flashlights aot B and Hall flashlight some paper I picked up from collecting trash just some paper in your phone and your flashlights on I'm going put everything on top of the hood here all right what's the car for I picked up trash but what you tell Sheriff Department yeah I was going to Pi up the cardboard was a medical weapon indidual spr your feet for me I got so many flashlights we're to come to the passenger side of my spot here okay he doesn't seem to be playing the victim and he was highly Cooperative the trash in his pockets Syndicate innocent intentions and fortunately for him he's now directly involved with human services after they discovered that his name came up in over 60 other non-criminal incidents but the law is the law and given this man's seemingly good nature it's likely that he's learned a valuable lesson and won't do anything like this again he was only charged with a [Music] misdemeanor cashiers are often the first line of defense for credit card fraud in April 2022 a customer booked a 3-hour spa session and bought a $450 gift card by simply reading the credit card details out loud to the cashier instead of handing the card over to her the real owners of the card were notified about the odd transaction and they contacted the spa at their request the employee contacted police and they arrived within minutes where's she at question for you did she show you the picture of the card or did she just she just read it all from was she still on the phone when that was happening no she she was just looking at her phone was the message on your phone no he called it into they're saying that you were reading off your phone so wasn't a text message yeah can you see the wasn't the phone literally like call do you have a picture carder don't that's I never I had people saying that that was their C no that's not that's literally the card that he gave me to pay it I don't know what they're talking about they um called me and they notified me the um fraudulent charge has been made a $450 no this literally the car that you just gave to pay I was on theone I'm to know after iding the suspect the officer asked her several more important questions she continues to deny everything and insist that her husband had given her access to the card at this point it's hard to know what's actually going on let's see what the officer can do to get to the truth I'm sorry oh that's fine um I'm so shocked sir I I've never had this happen before so is this is your car I no this is my brother's car all right what's your first name this crazy this is crazy crazy cuz I'll let you write a statement so at least I'm sorry I said at least you'll write a statement and I'll see what's going on but thank you at the at the minimum I got to do a report cuz realistically you could you you could have been going you could have been going to jail you can sit the front for me it's clear that something's a miss the officer knows it and refers to a database while making contact with the card owner so how does their story hold up well let's find out hi is this Mr uh cult yeah all right this is Deputy Smith of Orange County Sheriff's Office um in reference to your card you you physically have the card what was that yeah I said do you physically have the credit cards sir yeah yeah all right um do you want to press charges um sure yeah see what happened um I really don't know just my wife called me and told me that we had a uh she asked me if I made a charge at that na and I told her I didn't and she called the credit card company and canceled the card and then we called the Nail Salon company themselves to let them know that you know what happened okay um but me and my wife we both have the C it's the same number her card and my card her card and your card then we both physically have our cards with us okay the thief's LIE has been exposed and she was just playing dumb let's see if her apologies can get her out of criminal consequences I'm sorry no that's fine sit ahead and turn around I got to go I got to get you're going why you're go cuz you hey you lied to me first I'm Sor don't fight but I'm sorry I I don't I honestly don't care don't fight I honestly don't care if you're sorry or not but here's the thing they want to press charges and the fact that Char yeah they want to press charges I know babe I I told them I did not take that from them I did not take that from them sir I got this from my boyfriend I thought it was your husband no that is my husband you went from husband to boyfriend you gave me the wrong name it's nothing to be don't be sorry you just oh up to your stuff the fact that you said that you're from New York and you didn't have a ID and then I run you and then you an ID in Florida no we're not playing these games you made stupid choices and you get stupid consequences so that's what's happen the lies fall apart pretty fast when confronted with the truth and they weren't even good lies how dumb do you need to be to think that a credit card owner won't know what's happening with their account after sticking with her story she finally plays her last card bargaining like anything I can do you can go to the jail and then you could figure it out from there please sir I'm sorry don't apologize for me I did not I didn't do anything that's my thing I'm like I did not it's like I did not do that when he gave me the car number that's how I used it call my mom I have my phone you can I yeah CU I was holding it can I call her you call her at the jail they'll let you get the numbers out of your phone like the officer said earlier make stupid choices get stupid consequences in this case she got fancy new handcuffs and a comfortable seat in the back of an officer's squad car even without the long-distance communication with the card holder the officer is able to confirm exactly what happened from the spa employees but I'm about to take it to jail so I can get that later but as long as I have a verbal of what happened I'll be fine so so she came in uhhuh um she wanted to book a pedicure and then before she um wanted to do her pedicure she wanted to buy a gift card so um Alyssa took the gift card and put the gift card numbers in there said I don't have my card on me is it okay if I just give you um the card number allowed and we're like yeah that's fine so she gave us the card number verbally we typed it in um it declined the first two times and then on the third time it went through um I think she I want to say it was maybe a different number that Alyssa said that she gave her the third time and then that one went through and then she went back for the pedicure and then about 5 minutes after she went back there I had calls from a couple there was a man and a woman and um they said that I was a fraudulent charge and they just wanted to let me know um for the business perfect thank you it sounds like she had three sets of stolen information so the officer saved three different people from falling victim to this crime her 3 minute stay at a spa was definitely not worth fraud charges and 2 days in jail on December 9th 2022 Florida PD were made aware of some illegal solicitors raising funds for a recently deceased family member Maria who was 20 years old not wanting to disrespect their calls the kind police officer initially took a compassionate approach to their flight when did this happen where France where France France was that your daughter your niece was she like vacation in over there was she living over there oh I'm sorry what happened to your family it's very tragic I'm sorry that you're going through that however we can't have you guys walking in traffic okay if you can just relay the information to the other guy I don't know where he went this situation is turning suspicious real fast especially since they failed to produce any IDs the officer gathered some more information while some backup arrived as the Second Officer kept them occupied the first officer acted on her hunch and ran their information through the police database this brought to light some interesting questions when did she pass 3 days ago 3 days ago okay so in September did you have another niece P Maria that passed huh yes I you and your two sons were on the other side doing the same thing collecting money for a funeral me yes your name and your date of birth that you gave me yeah this no no no so what funeral were you trying to save money or collect money for September no I you're lying to me no I don't like being lied to you I don't like that I swear and the fact we have videos your face is on any video I recognize you from last time I talk to you and your two son in here here on the other side yes no I swear it's you swear yeah you're going to be swear to God really well that's a shame you should be ashamed of yourself you should be yourself trying to do this in front of your two kids first time no it's not I am telling you I recognize you from last time IAL to you and the name and data break you gave me and the same story you gave me is the same one you told the other deputies on the other side of pal Parkway by Bel yes it is stop lying you're lying to yourself you're lying to me and you're lying in front of your kids this is the kind of mom you want to be for your kids lying the first officer continues the much needed bation but the mother who already identified herself as demitro isn't dropping the ACT she decides to add a little more embellishment to her crumbling story while the officer catches her at every twist in her tail let me let me put it this way next time I see you out here with your two kids I'm calling DCF and I will be sure that you're going to get every citation I can think of yeah but this is not okay you lying is not okay you want your kids taken from you putting them in danger allowing them walk in traffic collecting money lying to people you need to start telling yourself the truth first you wrote your name down I looked it up and it pulled up in September of this year toit is name no it's not no it's not I Romanian okay and in Flagler County there's only one person that popped up and that's you I my child my my son yep yep wearing green vest with two juvenile males holding a sign saying they're collecting money for a funeral I am for first time this no stop lying stop lying the officer requested their ID cards again but all they got was an address the officer finds it in her heart to offer some much needed advice for This Woman's stupid decisions I understand if you're going through a hard time and I'd be more than happy to help you and give you resources to help you with whatever it is you need to help get you by cuz I get it it's been a hard year for a lot of people finances have been very hard not everyone can afford to get by and I'll be more than happy to help you with that but you won't stop lying I can't help a liar what is it that you need help with how can I help you rather than you coming out here with your kids collecting money and lying to people about it I don't lie I don't lie my brother is please well then she didn't just die 3 days ago then who were you collecting the money for the funeral for last month or in September the fact that the mother feels the need to continue lying makes her malicious intentions clear to the officers and the cops are getting visibly agitated as a result despite being direct and kind to the mother the officer can't seem to get through to this woman the mother now wishes to avoid the situation completely and simply return home but after lying to an officer and endangering her kids that choice isn't available to her anymore you understand you can go to jail for pro providing law enforcement a false name right this is going to tell me exactly who you are if you lie you're going to jail understand okay so we can start over you can actually tell us who what your real name is because we already found where you were up in Jacksonville so you want to start over or do you want you want to continue to lie okay I am why why lie are you in trouble up there where in Jacksonville oh so why lie now down here I got you have to have a reason to lie like I have a lot you have a lot what a lot of reasons why I have a fear from police but I don't know why people lie for a lot of reasons when they're in a position like hers in the case of this mother it seems to be a mix of ignorance and fear that still doesn't excuse her false Behavior nor the endangerment of her young children and her sudden shift in Attitude makes her look incredibly deceitful and stupid just put the whole on so I am taking you to jail for neglect pal this I'm taking you to jail for child neglect for intering with traffic I've got to and for providing law enforcement the okay my we're calling family my your family you got to call where's family in orando we'll give them the we'll give DCF the phone number to family and they can deal with that but we have to call DCF right here if you had somebody down the street okay fine but hold on but we'll get the phone number from you that way they can come up and they can arrange with BCF but you can't be doing this so the handcuffs go on and the truth comes out it's hard to believe anything she says at this point the only thing she might be honest about here is her need for money but by using her children and lying to the officers she's made things much worse for herself but you can't be doing this you can't and then you say you have a fear but had you gave us the right name the first time and everything else you probably wouldn't be in this situation can't walk in the roadway you have to get a permit in order to even collect money from people like that right now you're just you're abusing you know the nice citizens of our County and especially saying that a 20-year-old died in a car crash like who is that who is that girl in the picture the Prest is my C by buing oh that's your cousin did she know you're using her picture yeah she was on the other side of is that the same cousin that was just over there there was one over there and there's one down there yeah I don't know I S I don't know talk about that here not that face that no that's not how this works no no that is not how this works you do not pull away from me stop wa what you're turning and we're telling you to face this way okay you need to stop and listen we'll talk to them when we're done do not do that again if you understand me the total amount confiscated among them all was $137 the child neglect scheme to defraud obstruction of public streets and false name charges were what landed her in that squad car the risk of looking like a fool on camera might be one of the antidotes to severe crimes like these but that doesn't seem to work on these
