No, you're not. >> Give the other arm and turn over. >> No. >> Yes. >> No. >> The one I got. >> Yeah. Here. >> Get off me. C. >> I got this. >> Oh, I just said I can't film my arm. >> Turn around. >> No. >> Stop making his herself. >> No. Shoplifterss can be very creative. Sometimes they manage to steal goods worth thousands of dollars. >> Also, the issue is the other issue is I don't think I I'm being fully honest with you and I'm not trying to come off as rude. I don't think you're 21 years old. >> I don't think you're 21. >> Among their tricks are concealing items, skipping scans, switching price tags, and more. >> Come here. >> Oh, sorry. >> Come here. Put your stuff down. >> Okay. >> Put yourself back. >> What? I'm going to run back. >> You have any weapons on you that's going to poke me, stick me? >> Please stay away from people. >> On various occasions, there were even women caught stealing an entire cart full from Walmart. >> I'm about to call my [ __ ] wild. >> You're not going anywhere. You came my order officer. >> Yeah, the officer the >> On March 30th, 2024, police responded to a local Walmart. According to the security staff, a woman was trying to steal two carts full of merchandise. When cops arrived, they caught the suspect with her loots at the store's exit. >> Um, so the loss prevention just called us. They said that you uh didn't pay for all your items. Do you have your receipt? >> Bro, I just showed him my receipt on my phone and my phone died. >> You just showed him the receipt on your phone? >> Yes, I just showed that. >> He let me out and my phone died. I said I paid for my receipt. I showed him the day. It's a mo It's a mobile uh Walmart thing. I showed him the day and I showed him my receipt. He said, "Okay, you can go." >> Okay, listen. We got >> I have literally right there. I'm not >> You still have your receipt phone. Okay. Can you bring it up? >> My phone died. I literally just showed him. I showed him my phone's on 2% and all. Like I just showed >> Here's the deal. So right now he's just the LPO is saying that there are some items that are possibly unpaid for. So we're just going to double check with the cameras >> at this point. Y'all can just kick this. I'm not paid for it. So it's yours. >> Yes, I did. But >> we just have to confirm because listen, we listen. We haven't called saying the items unpaid for it. Okay. >> Okay. But if if I paid online, how am I supposed to go to the to the cashier and all that? >> You're not letting me talk. There is a very good camera system. >> Like I'm confused. The suspect stated she didn't have her ID with her. She insisted that regardless of the camera footage, she had paid for the goods via her phone, which was unfortunately out of battery. When the cops told her that only a store receipt could prove her right or wrong, the woman got irritated. >> Pretty much backtrack, make sure everything >> at this point. You should stop saying it, bro. I'm not about to keep doing it. >> Did you pay for it? >> Yes, I believe I could keep this, bro. Like I'm not about to keep doing this, my like >> listen, I'm trying to help you out here, but we got to call. >> So why didn't why didn't y'all stop anybody else? Y'all just stop cuz we got a call. >> Okay. >> I actually What's the description? >> A black jacket with a lime green hood, and you're the only one here with that. >> Okay. All right. So, just hang tight. You want to go get the LPO? Yeah. I'm not about to >> The suspect was clearly ready to abandon the merchandise she allegedly claimed to have paid for, but officers made it clear that she was not free to go. When she ignored them, things escalated quickly. >> You're not late for arrest. >> You want to be placed under arrest? >> Can you arrest? >> Why you touching me? >> Stand. >> Yes. >> Okay. You're under arrest. >> You're under arrest. >> You're under arrest. I'm a man. I hope you know that. So up. Thank you. >> You're not me. What are you talking about? >> But what my car, >> bro. Get off me, cuz. >> Bro, if I can't feel my arm, but there's some stuck in my other arm. >> Give me Give your other arm. >> No, cuz >> get your other arm and turn over. >> No. >> Yes. >> No. >> One. I got here. >> You're off because >> I got this. >> Oh, I just said I can't film my arm. >> Turn around. >> No. >> Stop. Naked. He's in yourself. >> No. The you talking about match your description and all this [ __ ] Get off me, cuz. >> Yo, stop kicking. No kick. >> I can poke on my gun. >> Fine. >> That's fine. We'll stay here. We'll stay here on that. >> Stop resisting. >> The suspect complains she couldn't breathe and that the officers were hurting her. In reality, she was the one kicking the cops and physically resisting arrest. To subdue her, they had to act more decisively. >> I'm not calling. >> You're not going anywhere. Officer, officer. The Bro, get the off. >> Turn around. Make it easy. You're not going to get another. >> Oh, I can't feel my arm. >> Turn around. >> Get off my hand. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> I can't breathe. My >> You're talking. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> What the is your knee in my seat for? >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. How my >> go, >> bro. Can you get off my arm? I can't feel my bro. Like, come on. Bro, I can't feel my arm. Despite her resistance, the police were able to handcuff the suspect. When she asked why they were doing it, they reminded her that she had ignored their command to stop three times. When officers kindly helped her put her shoes back on, the woman tried to resist again. >> You want to give a little charge? Suck my How about that? >> Turn around. >> Charge that. >> Turn around. The just told you I was a girl. Just told you I was a girl. Proceeded to do dumb. The told you I was a girl. Y'all still ain't not one girl. Cop. >> You can get off my stuff. >> All right. So, tell me where I'm >> Well, you just assaulted a cop by kicking him. >> I don't give a number one. >> The officers once again explained to the suspect why she was in custody, but she only responded with more insults toward them. When it came time for a search, she refused to comply and demanded to know again why she was being arrested. >> Yes. >> [ __ ] had a booger on me from >> you available for searching. >> Oh, now y'all wanted somebody to search me, huh? >> Yeah. You want to arrest now, >> huh? >> Said yeah, you arrest. >> Oh, you want arrest? Oh, I don't give a a >> typical >> typical right. >> This regular >> I'm confused if I'm under arrest if I have he ain't come through. Why y'all still touching me? >> Still you're resisting still. >> I'm not. >> You are not. Y literally choking me. I >> I ain't choking you, >> bro. So this not choking. >> You're breathing. >> So this not choking you. >> I'm not choking you. >> You're not choking me. >> No, I'm not. >> All right. >> All right. Okay. >> I I hear you. Can I have my shoes? >> Nope. >> I can't have my shoes. >> We tried giving you your shoes. That's when you decided to kick somebody. >> Yeah, cuz he kicked my shoe. So, I kicked him. >> He didn't kick your shoe. He put it down in front of him. >> Cuz so he kicked my shoe. >> Nope. >> You got that on video? >> Yep. >> I hope you can really see. >> You really can. >> Uh-huh. >> The suspect acted extremely arrogantly and even called the officers dummies. When that didn't help, she tried to play the victim card paired with the woman card, but that didn't help her case even a little. >> I I wasn't just because I've been saying I was a girl, you had your whole >> Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you get treated any differently. >> Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you get treated any differently, ass or >> if you're resisting, you get treated the same exact way until your >> So that little girl >> until your resistance how treating me ceases. No. That girl right there, y'all treat how y'all treated me. No. Stop theming lies, bro. >> Okay. >> Like, come on. Y'all not doing make tighter. >> The officers stayed patient and didn't fall for the suspect's provocations. The female cop conducting the search had to deal with the non-stop ranting as well as complaints about the pat down itself. >> But you keep feeling the same areas though. It's making me very uncomfortable. >> Must be comfortable. very uncomfortable. You keep you keep touching the same areas. That's nothing but my drawers. That's nothing but my jaws, miss. I'm telling you that's nothing but my draws. >> Okay, I can figure it out. Thanks. >> I'm telling you. Like, what the I don't want no or nothing, bro. Like, >> damn. You keep touching. >> Spread your legs. >> She touching the same areas within two minutes. You touch the same area. Damn. the lights down. >> Finally, the cops got the suspect into the patrol car. But even there, she found a new way to resist while the officers tried to fasten her seat belt in the back seat. >> Can I have my shoes? I don't need no seatelt. Can I have my shoes? Can I have my shoes? >> He'll be with you. >> Can I have my shoes? >> Yeah. You good? >> I'm good. >> She just unseat it belted herself. So, >> put it back on. >> We'll put it back on. >> Sit back. >> Sit back. >> Put your [ __ ] back. You really overdoing your job. >> I'm not overdoing my job. >> You are, my [ __ ] Cuz I can sit back my yourself and I'mma keep unstrait >> and I'mma keep unstrapping it. So you're going to keep doing that for nothing. >> The sit back, please. >> Can you stop, bro? Do I like your kid, my >> n? >> On the way to the station, the suspect continued acting insolently, rambling nonsense at the officer. As they were about to arrive at the jail, her resistance turned into erratic behavior. The officer had to check her again and secure her in place. >> Listen to what you just said. >> Listen to what you just said. >> 236. >> Transporting one adult female in custody from Walmart to headquarters. Starting mileage 91206. >> Look what you just said. You just said yes. You sound like a rider. I hope you really know that. Just said yes. You was the only person over here, so it got to be you. Damn. God was the only person on this earth. So he So he just put this on here. >> What are you just making stuff up right now? I don't really understand what you're saying. >> You asked if that was the report. That wasn't a report. That is what the dispatch notified us of. >> We explained everything to you multiple times. >> Oh my god. You explained that I was on the left. I was the only person there. So, >> I never said that. We said you matched the description of the call we got. >> You were detained. If you didn't do anything wrong and you just stayed there, you would have been set free, but you didn't. >> The suspect's stubborn resistance didn't spare her the consequences of breaking the law. She was charged with shoplifting, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of law enforcement, and resisting arrest. On October 18th, 2024, Walmart security cameras captured a female suspect leaving the store with a cart loaded with stolen goods. The staff weren't able to track her location, so they called the police. By reviewing the available footage, one of the officers managed to recognize the suspect, 21-year-old Shaye Casey, and found her in her outdoor hideout. >> Perfect. I change >> just who I was looking for. Put your hands behind your back and rest. >> What did I do? >> Shaye, >> what' I do? >> I don't shake. >> Show me the other one. >> I didn't do 42 hours. >> No, I didn't do nothing. >> I didn't shine. Walk. >> I didn't do nothing. >> Walk. >> I didn't do nothing. >> Walk. >> Come. Nope. >> Walk. >> You just stole that whole shopping cart. We got you on camera walking out of there. You just got felony retail theft. >> I did not caught you. >> Paid for it. >> Nobody paid for it. Shaye, come on. >> Come on. >> 104. I got her 105. >> Walk. Keep walking. >> The police weren't dealing with Shaylee for the first time in a similar situation. They were already familiar with her modus operandi, stealing merchandise from Walmart and then tucking away in the brush. Once arrested, the officer conducted his check professionally despite Shay's non-stop whining. >> Sheila, we knew exactly who you were, too. >> Yeah. >> In front of the car. You have any weapons on? You think it's going to poke me, stick me? Oh, stay away from that. >> You see if we can get a female out here to pat search, please. >> Checking you for weapons right now. >> Do you know what you're under arrest for, Haley or >> Shay? >> All right. Come on. >> Come on. Come on. >> The officer reviewed the item Shaye had stolen. He also had to figure out which of the things at her hideout were hers and which came from Walmart. Not an easy task. Seasoned shoplifterss usually make sure the value of stolen goods doesn't exceed the felony charge threshold. But Shay Lee had overlooked one small detail. >> I didn't know if that was her stuff on the bottom when I seen the blanket cuz I remember we had had her out the other day. Remember the first day on the squad? She was out there and noticed the blanket. So I thought that that was going to be she must have went up there, picked up cart, filled it with her stuff, went inside, stole all the stuff, and just walked out. So that's all her property. So I'm definitely going to need to transport that back to the PD cuz she just picked it back up. That's got to go back to the PD. All that merchandise has got to go back. And then uh they didn't have everything listed. They just put 740 for the shopping cart. I mean, that's how much shopping carts cost. And then they put like the monsters and put up to 750. So, I'm going to need to get a receipt for all that stuff. >> Shopping cart is $740 bucks. >> $740 is how much shopping cart goes for. Yep. So, if they steal the shopping cart and eat in a couple items, they can identify them. It's automatically felony, >> right? >> So, they walk out and she left the parking lot with it. Obviously, >> still wearing the same clothing from >> Absolutely. And I got the bonnet thing right there. It's in the photo. I took a picture of it. I'm going to throw it in evidence, too. I even got the cab. Stealing the cart itself was about to cost Shaye more than expected, but she didn't seem like she was going to take accountability for her actions. When the officer asked her why she did it, Shaye gave one of the most erratic explanations imaginable. >> She said somebody that um possibly committed was um uh was going to pay for it. Is there a reason though that you took all this? What's the reason? [Music] Okay. You said you're God. >> Okay. >> Your dad's name is Eminem. >> All right. All right. >> It's never easy dealing with suspects like Shaye, who clearly weren't in a sound state of mind. A female officer was dispatched to conduct the pat down search. And unsurprisingly, she was also familiar with the suspect. It's same one as last time. >> Felony theft. All right. Step out for me. >> What are you doing? >> All right. Right up. >> Hey, >> she's on something. >> I know. She was last time, too. Is this your camp back here? >> So, you want us to leave your stuff here? >> Yes, please. >> Yes, please. No problem. We will do that for you. No, the shop car's got to go back to Walmart. It's stolen. >> Okay, Walmart wants their shopping cart back. So, we're just going to put gloves on and we're going to put all that stuff over by the camp. Okay. >> This wasn't her first felony theft, so it was clear that she was going to jail. When placing her in the car, the female officer noticed Shaye was wearing some of the stolen clothing. The cop also shared a few of the bizarre fantasies Shaye had come up with to justify her actions. >> Going to jail. Hop in. >> Absolutely. >> Hop in. >> Hop in for us, please. >> Inside, please. She's wearing like seven shirts again. >> Okay. These aren't too tight. These were good. >> All right. Good. >> Yeah, they're fine. >> All right. Thank you. Come on over. I put your stuff right by the wooded area. So when you get out, >> there's more. >> No, I put it all back. All that stuff on here. >> That's all from Walmart. Stolen. That's all brand new stuff. >> That's all the stuff you stole from Walmart. She didn't steal it. Her mother stole it, allegedly. >> Oh, >> and she's Godzilla. And >> well, there's the bonnet. >> Her eyes are the size of the moon. >> I'm pretty sure you're my spirit animal. You show up every time with her. So, I'm pretty sure you guys know each other or something. >> I don't understand why she wears 17 things of clothes. She literally has on a t-shirt, a jacket, a long sweatshirt, probably another [Music] fun. >> You're the best. Thank you. >> The total value of the stolen goods was $1,160. So, Shaye was arrested for grand theft. She was transported to Lake County Jail with a bond set at $2,500. It was November 2nd, 2021 when police were dispatched to the Walmart store in the town of Roswell, Georgia. A woman had been caught attempting to leave with two shopping carts full of unpaid items. The employees had already secured the stolen merchandise by the time the police arrived. >> She's involved. >> She has so much. >> Okay, I can tell the amount Okay. >> What's wrong with your face? >> Yeah. >> So, >> okay. >> So far, this and what's inside is all that's been paid for. >> Okay. So, she's paid for this. Okay. >> Yeah. That's that's receive is for t-shirts and stuff. And then I'm figuring out what's what's on this receipt. But >> Okay. So, this is your >> this is for the t-shirts right here. And then I got the sunglasses right here on this side. >> Okay. So, t-shirts and that, but this hasn't been paid for. But no. Okay. >> The suspect had allegedly scanned only some inexpensive items while snatching the more valuable goods. The cops found her sitting in the staff room and it was time for her to explain what had really happened. >> Hello, ma'am. How are you? Um, just want to find out, you know, uh, what's going on? Why Why am I here today? I don't know honestly like I'm watching them pull things out that I just not that I took out sat on the counter and left and then I was like in the cart and this is like third or fourth time that I've had issues with them that by the end of it they were like oh my bad. So >> okay well first of all what's your name? >> Tiffany. >> Tiffany I'm I'm officer Fields. I'm with Roswell Police Department. It's officer Curry. Okay. Um Okay. So, explain to me what's going on. So, you came to Walmart. What were you doing here? What'd you come for? >> Winter clothing for my brother and friend and my boyfriend. >> Okay. So, you came for some winter clothing. >> Notice there's a lot of shades in there. that um cookie. They're all >> Tiffany appeared relaxed and confident that she had paid for everything in her cart. But Officer Fields had already been informed that the paid items were just a small fraction of what was loaded and many goods were still pending like for example the shelving units. >> So talk to me about the shelving cuz that was not on the receipt. >> This I have the receipt of my bedroom and I'm telling you there's seven things shelving up. >> Okay. Like, >> so why do they think you stole them? >> Yeah, >> I don't know. They have some data in there or something. >> Like genuinely, I >> Well, they have real people out here that genuinely walk in here and take >> So, what do they why are they telling us you stole this stuff today? >> I guess this is what we >> Okay. >> But I didn't walk out the door. So, it's like they stopped you right here. >> Yeah. On the other side. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I was only here so long because like my car had >> your car. >> So they waited until my roadside got here to me that I myself. >> Do you have your receipt for all So you have receipt for everything here. >> Yeah. Am I pretty sure? I thought I did. Okay. One shelf. This has six right here. Six. Seven. >> It says add to cart. Do you have where you paid? >> The male officer noticed on his own that not everything on Tiffany's app had been paid for. Then an employee further heightened the police's suspicion. According to him, Tiffany was well known to the store staff. >> This is like the third or fourth time we caught her doing this. Today just happened to actually stop her. >> First time she tried to walk out with over $700 worth of stuff, but >> they prevented her and she walked out the other side just abandoned everything. Okay. >> Then another time a week ago >> where I stopped knocking the front door cuz she missed all the stuff on the bottom part of the street. One of the officers took the suspect's phone to compare the data from her app with Walmart system. It turned out the timestamp on Tiffany's receipt didn't match the one on the stores. While this was being sorted out, the officer questioned her about previous visits to the store. >> Been stopped like before for this. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I mean, they said last time you was here, you dropped off and went out the other door to get away from them. >> That didn't happen. They might be confusing me with someone else, but I promise you that did not happen. >> Okay, I was here. I don't know. >> They got they my phone died. They want to see the receipt, right? >> So, I'm like, "All right, let me charge my phone. I'll be right back." I come back, they put they won't give it to me. They won't give me a return. So, they're stealing from me at that point. >> Okay. >> You know, we're corporate about that. >> Attempted to kind of go off. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And then, >> so why do you keep coming back here if if they if they're still in front of you? Tragically, I live around the corner and this is the cheapest place >> to get stuff and take care of my grandma. So, >> I understand. >> This store was surely the cheapest place, especially when Tiffany didn't pay for the things she got. While the staff checked the receipts, the officer just tried to get more out of her during their conversation. He could see her confidence in her so-called innocence slowly fading. >> Are they They're going through all this stuff. Are they going to find anything? because it'll save you some time and me some time. >> They're not going to find anything that I intentionally would have taken. The girls scanned all that stuff and did a suspended transaction. And >> I mean, is there anything in that stuff that's going to not show up on those receipts that you provide? >> No. >> You don't seem too very confident when you say that. >> Okay. So, I know y'all don't know, but like scan and go, right? You scan it, you go have people check it, go about your business, takes it off your card, right? >> Once you have an issue or whatever, you transfer to the register. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Sometimes it doesn't all transfer through correctly. >> Okay. So, >> sometimes it does and it's like something that I've been like actually like have like spoke with them about. >> Mhm. >> So, like >> seem like you don't know if they're going to find something or not. This should not. But like I'm saying this scan and go this is that I have that >> machine might give it >> a machine did something. It didn't have everything on there. >> Okay. >> So I went around and paid for it because it was intentional to be paid for. You know I scanned it on the phone. He said and he was like oh yeah I watched you scan. And I was like okay great. >> Meanwhile the employees had figured out the exact scheme Tiffany had used and they explained to the cops how the so-called ticket switching works. A trick common among seasoned shoplifters. >> She got six, but she only she probably scanned them >> the short ones for all of these together. >> It's called ticket switching when you scan the cheaper items. >> So >> that came. >> So you scan that six times instead of scanning all of these. >> How much are these? >> That's 14.97. >> That's uh >> these are 4156. >> That's this one right here. Oh, so so you guys are just verifying to see what she has paper, what she has not, and then we'll get the training receipt. >> Okay. >> It seemed like Tiffany knew all the shoplifters tricks. When asked why she had scanned only the cheapest shelves, she tried to come up with an excuse, but seconds later, an employee proved her wrong. >> Now, is everything rang up correctly? You didn't double ring something for something else? That kind of thing? >> Like you didn't take the small shelves as a cheaper price and use that for the big shelves for the higher price. All the shows are supposed to be the same. >> You think they are? Or do you know? >> Well, you have the app there. What does it say there? >> Well, I didn't. >> I'm just saying for instance. >> Um, no. They were all supposed to be four tiered plastic shelves, you know. So, >> okay. >> See, they should have all been the same. >> So, it's looking like the two little shelving units. I think that right there on the receipt, it says she bought six of them for about 90 bucks and but in reality, she only got two of them. Use those >> and and then but she had the bigger ones. >> Well, yeah. She scanned these. So, so these are like 15 bucks a pop and those are like $40ish [Music] 700. >> Next, the employees scanned all the unpaid items onto the training receipt. They gave them an itemized list with the prices. It was a timeconsuming procedure, but once they had the total amount, the officer went back to Tiffany. >> $920. >> That's the stuff she didn't pay for. >> That's the stuff she did not pay for. That's the stuff they just did right there. So, I watched them. They doing everything they're getting. Training receipt. >> Okay. >> It was $920 before tax. >> You want me to just confirm again on the >> No, they said we're fine. >> That's a felony amount. She's got to come to us. >> Okay. >> So, we got to go get warrants. Um then we'll send it off. >> Okay. >> All right, ma'am. >> Yeah, I'd like to know about that. >> About what? >> Well, we don't know. Just saying when we check if your name came up for something like that, it'll have us all the details. Okay. It's showing $920 that was not facing >> there's no way. Like >> Tiffany definitely didn't want to accept what the officer said because she knew a total over $500 meant a felony charge. This wasn't her first time in such a situation, and she had prepared a lot of excuses. In this case, she tried to shift the blame for the unscanned items onto a Walmart employee. >> I was in a line with an employee and she scanned the stuff in. >> So, you're saying she scanned all this? >> Yep. So, then as I'm going to pay for it, something on their end, nothing to do with me. >> Yep. >> It suspended it. >> Yep. >> So, we redo it again. And she's like, "Okay, it's time for me to go >> and tosses me over there." And >> when they suspended it, why did you instead of leaving it, why did you leave it? I mean, why'd you take it with you? >> I was intending to get it. My total was not that much for for certainly not that much. It doesn't make sense. Not even on like some crybaby doesn't take accountability. I'll take accountability for things I've done, but like not for things I haven't done. Meanwhile, police received info that Tiffany had previously attempted financial fraud involving $850 at a Walmart in the nearby town of Woodstock. Though she wasn't wanted there, she wasn't going to get off the hook this time. >> Is there like seriously no like other option here? >> No, ma'am. It's a felony amount. If it was misdemeanor amount, I'd probably catch a ticket, but I can't. >> What is a like what is a felony? Anything over $500. >> Okay. >> Uh that stuff. >> Do you have anything on you? >> Um >> illegal. >> Ma'am, do you have anybody who could pick up the stuff that you did pay for? >> No. >> Okay. refunded. >> You can just stand there for me. >> Walmart employees trespassed Tiffany and the officers escorted her to the patrol car. She was taken to jail and charged with felony theft by shoplifting. While Tiffany was able to stubbornly deny her shoplifting attempt, the next suspect didn't even have the chance to do so. >> Hey, come here. >> Oh, sorry. >> Come here. Put yourself down. >> Okay. Put yourself back. >> What? >> He told me to go charge my phone and show you the online order. >> Hey, we're going to go this way. >> Can I grab my purse real quick? >> Where's your purse at? >> Right there. >> Well, it's coming with us. >> She was caught off guard by the police while trying to leave a local Walmart with a cart full of stolen goods. The suspect was taken to the staff room. Officers informed her that she was being detained for organized retail crime. Clearly caught, she didn't try to plead innocent. Instead, she went straight into begging. >> I know I know you're an officer and I can extend courtesy and I know I made a mistake, but please please don't tell me to count me. I I'll go to court. I'll do community service. I'll pay the rents. I know I up. If you guys agree to put me on a on a payment plan that I need to come here and pay everything, I'll do whatever. Just please don't send me to county. I've never been to jail and I just can't go to county. I can't do that to my parents. I don't want to tell them embarrassed. >> Well, you should have saw your parents total sorry. >> I messed up. I know. My aunt's an NYPD officer, so you didn't send any courtesy for me and just take him to jail. >> Normally, when you have a relative who's an NYPD officer, you should know better not to break the law. But that wasn't the case here. Seconds later, the suspect revealed to the police that it was not the first time she went on a shoplifting spree. Have >> you done this before? >> Um, I did it once. Yeah. I think Target. >> Were you arrested for it? >> No. >> And another Walmart? >> At Walmart? I never got arrested for it. And it was not above like $300 a >> month ago. >> Yeah. Actually, at Walmart, they took me county cuz it was there, but that was that's not Oklahoma City County. And I got a lawyer and I'm I'm doing everything I can. I This is my first time living by myself. I >> I don't know if you can see this, but I had November 5th and the >> What was it for? >> The Walmart situation and he dropped it to just disorderly conduct. If I don't know if we can see that. >> Yeah, we'll be able to find it. So, basically the deal is if you have a conviction for Lawrence within 10 years, you're going to go to jail. Okay. >> Like I have to go to jail. >> I feel it's more than $900. I have to go to jail. I will. You can stop me. >> If you don't have a conviction, then you're not going to do that. But >> um I don't I don't think I don't have a I don't think I have a conviction. >> Well, then you're not you're probably not. >> But if I do have a conviction, can you take me from me? >> No. >> How will you know if I have a conviction or not? >> We're looking up and there's no there's no courtesy you can extend for me to not >> Absolutely not. You're stealing. >> I know. I know people make dumb mistakes. >> Well, there's consequences when we make bad decisions, right? >> And I'll make up for them in any other way. Just I don't want to go to I don't want to get I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to get >> No one wants to go to jail, and not stealing is one of the easiest ways to avoid jail time. The suspect didn't stop begging for some courtesy. When she saw the officer wasn't responding, she turned up the melodrama, citing another excuse for her crime. >> I can't I can't even believe that that you would a month ago get arrested for doing this and then come right back and do it again. >> I know. is when when you when you don't have money and you're trying to make ends meet, you don't know what to do. >> Okay. I know a lot of people that don't have money that make ends meet without ceiling. >> I know. I know. And and my phone turns on like my lawyer made me make an appointment with my therapist and discuss it with them. So like I can show you all of that and like I'm a good person. I'm an honor student. I can show you that. Like this is just my first time living alone and I up, bro. I know I up. I'm being stupid. You can do anything. Just don't take me in jail. Please give me give me a fine. I'll do community service. I'll do anything. >> Meeting with a therapist is recommended in cases of serial shoplifting. If she was indeed going to therapy, it seemed she wasn't making any progress. When she realized telling a Saab story wouldn't save her, she reached for her next excuse, a future job. >> So, um, next month I should be getting a pharmacy job. If you guys give me the total amount of what I've stolen and I come and pay all the amount back, could you guys flip that? >> That's not my decision and that's not even like >> Is that something that I could do though? >> Um, you'd have to contact our home office people and then they'll >> So, could you give me a price of everything from both Walmart so that I can know so that maybe hopefully I have the funds and I can so I can fix what I what I >> have to wait till he gets >> okay >> all that. >> So, I'm sorry. I'm I'm sorry I'm talking a lot. So, it's your discretion to take me to jail or not? >> I mean, up to a certain point, if you have a conviction now. >> Okay. So, if I haven't come have a conviction, you won't take me? >> Not necessarily. We'll see. >> The suspect kept insisting that she was a good person, that she had made a terrible mistake today, and she wasn't her real self. Meanwhile, a Walmart employee finished calculating the total and entered the room to report it. How much was it? >> 750. >> Okay. Was it a,000? >> What was it? >> 750. >> $7.50. >> Oh, no. 750 was 750. >> Okay. So, it wasn't a,000. Okay. >> So, the the 750 is the total amount that she took. Is that right? >> So, I think you're going to take me to jail. >> 750 is not looking good. >> It's not a,000. So, please >> I'm just tell you're pretty that's pretty close. >> I know. I know. It wasn't like in in the stuff about you being a broker that >> No, I know. I know. I know. >> You're you're taking rugs and >> I'm just taking house stuff like a vacuum, a mop like because you know and I know 750 is not but you know it's not it's not a thousand. So if you can just give me that cuz it's not a thousand. Please just extend any kind of courtesy. You can't >> it's not about >> I know but you said a thousand and it's not a thousand is a felony. We risk people a lot of times from stuff that's not. >> The suspect said she needed the items to make ends meet, but in reality, she had tried to steal non-essential goods like rugs and vacuum cleaners. And that wasn't her only lie. It turned out she'd also given a fake name to the police. >> It sounds like whenever you do that, you're just trying to change your name so that we don't >> Oh, no. No. That's why I gave you my address and I could give you my social security right now. >> No, I That's not my point. My point is No, I give you both. I tried to give you and I also gave him both names, Edward as well. Yeah, just cuz she's got stopped literally almost a month. >> Okay. Well, how did she spell this one? >> Okay. Yeah, that's her name in the system. Well, that's not the name that she gave me initially. >> So, deal. Um, you giving me false info? Okay. >> No, I didn't give you that additional charge. Okay. >> Wait, but I gave you I gave you the correct spelling of both names. So >> bottom line is $691 worth of stuff. You're going to county. Okay. >> Okay. No, you've done this multiple times. You ob you just got arrested for it a month ago and you just did it again, which shows us that you have absolutely no contrition for what you did. >> I know >> you weren't stealing essential items. >> I stealing vacuum. >> We're not talking about it. >> The suspect was trespassed from the store. It was time to go to the station. But she hadn't given up. She tried once more to beg for mercy. This time more desperately than before. >> If you have you might have kids, you might not have kids. >> I'm going to keep if you can just extend the courtesy for me if your kids made a mistake. Please don't do this to me. >> I'll hurt anybody. >> It'll break my parents heart. Officer, please. Please give me a chance. Please. >> Um, yeah. We should be good to go. >> Officer, please. Please. You you did this. >> I know. I know. I did this right now. You're >> blaming us. >> I know. I know. I'm not blaming you guys. I just My aunt's an NYPD officer and she tells me she sends courtesy to people all the time. >> No matter how desperately the suspect begged or tried to convince the cops she was a good person, they didn't buy it. They knew she could go on forever with the pleading. So, one of them finally shut it down. >> Okay. I I would really appreciate if you stop said courtesy cuz it's not a courtesy. You just stole $600 worth of finance. >> I know. And I made a mistake and I'm aware of it and and I want you to know I'm aware of it and I and I will whatever you want me to do, I will show you changes actively. I will I will do it. Please, >> you should be good to go here then. Um, you guys need anything else today? All right, you guys take care. Let's go and stand up for me. >> Officer, please. >> Thank you. >> You know where the car is. I just don't want my my parents or my family members to see me. >> Despite the constant begging, the suspect was still placed in the patrol car. She was brought to the police station, but had to wait because there were other shoplifterss in line that day, waiting to face the consequences of their actions. >> Walk straight. >> Yep. >> What do I walk straight? >> Yeah, what happened now? We're going to wait our turn to get in line. We're going to go in there. They're going to book you in. They just basically process you. You just sign some stuff and take off. >> The men and women are separate, right? >> In their network, >> but we're in the same room. >> Well, there's only two people at >> like we're in the same holding cell. >> No, you'll be in a different room. They book you. They process you. Then you go to medical place, talk to a nurse, then you go to the >> She was charged with lararseny, but she didn't learn her lesson. Only a few months later, she was arrested again for the same thing, and she was charged with grand lararseny. On March 1st, 2024, police responded to a Walmart where a woman had been detained for shoplifting a cart full of merchandise. When officers arrived at the store around 3:30 p.m., they met the suspect who became visibly upset upon seeing them. >> Hey, I'm doing I'm officer hearing with the sequ. >> Oh, >> that's okay. Do you have an idea? >> No, exactly. I'm calling so they can send my right now. She's got she send >> Where do you have an ID? Like uh like what state do you have a driver's license? Uh, no. I'm not New York. >> New York driver's license or a state ID? >> State ID. >> Okay. >> She's asking. >> Okay. Well, we're waiting on that. Just let me get your uh information. What's your name? >> Mariam. >> What's your first name? Mara. >> Yes. >> Okay. What's your last name? >> No. Mariam. >> Okay. What's your last name? >> K O N E. >> K O N E. >> Miam appeared extremely anxious, so the officer tried to calm her down. He asked what was going on and why she was so distressed. The suspect pointed to her mother as the reason for her anxiety. >> Huh? You say your mom? Listen, relax. Okay, listen. You made a mistake. It's not the end of the world. Okay, listen. We'll get we'll get through this. Just take a deep breath. Okay, you shaking like it's the end of the world. There's a lot worse things that could be happening to you right now. Okay, you get you got the picture ID? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Come on. Come on. Come calm down a little bit. It's okay. The officer managed to calm Mariam down a bit with his words, then asked her for ID. But when he looked at it, he was stunned. What really threw him off was her surprisingly young age. >> You were born in 2003. >> Yes. >> Are you positive about that? >> To be honest with you, I don't know if this is you. I'm just >> You don't look 20 years old. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I just >> I'm 21. >> 21? >> Yes. My mom is 46. >> Be honest with you, I don't think you're 21. I'm not trying to be not trying to be rude or anything. I'm just >> I'm 21. I have two babies. Yes. >> Okay. I thought you said you were born in January. >> Enough with the crying. I know you're distraught right now, but we got to we got to get moving with this. Okay. Are you you swearing to me this is you? Cuz you you can get arrested for providing false identification. Just cuz this this incident might not end in you getting arrested today, but if you give me wrong information, you can get arrested for that. You're swearing that you're 21 years old. >> I swear God, I'm >> Where you from originally? You You got to speak up like >> I I'm West Africa. >> Okay. >> The cop took all the necessary information from the trembling suspect. It turned out that Miam had paid for some items, but not all. Walmart staff explained to the officer exactly how she had acted inside the store. >> Where was she concealing this? that blue flower bag and her personal bag. >> So she was uh just bringing some stuff and then just ping sealing the other stuff. >> Yeah. But way before that she was doing that on the soft spot in both bags. >> And which which stuff was paid for? >> All this and then this is the shop listed merchandise and >> the total of this was 600 something. >> Yes. >> Those are $20. >> Yeah. Do you know what time she came in slash >> Could you try to find it? Start watching her. Just go back to when you start watching. >> Which uh entrance did you come in >> right here? >> Yes. >> Do you remember what time you got? >> It's 3:47 right now. So >> Miam had no idea how long she had been in the store. In fact, she didn't have answers to most of the officer's questions. But she did know how to show anxiety when the officer explained what would happen next. She didn't miss the chance to be hysterical. I'll be fully transparent with you. You're going to come with us. Okay. So, you will be getting arrested today and charged for shoplifting. >> Sorry. Well, no. It's it's because $500 and above is third degree. So, in terms of degrees, they want us to start charging for this because shoplifting is rampant right now and especially in these high amounts. Doesn't that doesn't mean you're going you're not going to jail. You're not going to jail or anything. Also, the issue is the other issue is I don't think I I'm being fully honest with you and I'm not trying to come up with rude. I don't think you're 21 years old. >> I don't think you're 21. >> So, you will be if you're lying to me like I told you from the beginning. Okay. >> That's fine. But I want I want since you paid for all this, I want your mother to come here and take the the stuff you paid for. Listen, they're not going to just hold on to it for this isn't like a lost and found. This is your store. So this is your property. This is the stuff you paid for. So I want you to give it to your mother. >> What is >> it's not it's not even up to me anymore. I just I just called my desk and we we start charging for these things now because this is non-stop. People just take whatever they want. Miam had attempted to steal over $600 worth of merchandise. And despite being given multiple opportunities, she didn't come clean about her real age. So the officer had no choice but to arrest her. But when he proceeded with cuffing her, she resisted. >> Just turn around for your hands behind your back, please. Behind behind your back. >> Behind your back? >> Behind your back? Like >> behind your back? >> It's not It's not It's not an option. Okay. I'm going to tell you one more time and then I'm not going to be Mr. Nice Guy anymore. Okay. All right. You understand me? Okay. Good. So, put your hands behind your back. Listen listen. What are we doing now? >> I said it's not guaranteed that. No. Are you kidding? Don't Don't Listen. Like I just said, if you start if you start pulling your wrist away from me, I'm telling you, this is not going to be fun for you. I I don't think you're 21year-old. I I think you haven't been completely honest with me even though I've been more than kind to you. Okay, don't ever freaking pull away when I'm trying to cop you. Okay, just >> give me a reason to believe you and trust you. >> The cop wanted a reason to believe her. But maybe Mariam just wasn't the person to give him one. Moments later, he found another piece of merchandise among her things. When he asked about it, she once again failed to tell the truth. What about this stuff? Is this all chocolate? >> I don't know if that's yours. >> Huh? >> No. >> Listen, you got to you got to stop lying. I just I just feel like we're spiraling now with lies. >> This is mine. I bought and I was looking for the last >> the one in the bag was so that Come on. Come on. You keep freaking lying. >> No, no, no, no. >> I swear I don't know what to do. >> I'm just going to count your money right in front of you, okay? Be full transparent. >> I'm putting all your change in your outer pocket. Listen, stop with the crime, please. Okay, we're we're beyond the the waterworks. Okay. >> She had the money, so she could have just paid for the item she wanted to get. The officer carefully counted Miriam's cash and secured all her personal belongings. Then he proceeded to search her, but when he tried to remove her bonnet, she had an unusual concern. >> I'm just going to remove the the uh bonnet real quick. I'll put it right back on you. I just I have to >> Here, I got it. Don't Don't twist. I don't want you hurting yourself. >> Hold on. Don't twist like that. You got her. >> You should see my head. >> It's fine. I'm not judging. Look at my hair. I look I look like a psychopath right now. Look at my crazy hat hair. Okay. I I got I got to make sure there's not a knife under here. I'm not trying to be funny here. Okay. >> No, you can touch it. But >> I'm not I'm not I'm not touching it. I just have to look real quick. Easy, easy, easy. Come on. >> No, no, you can't see. >> Easy. It It looks nice. Come on. I I have to These are things I have to do, not that I want to do. Okay. Please sit up, please. I'm put I'm putting it on you. Okay. Look. Make it a little better. Your hair looks nice. Okay. You don't have I'm not judging you. Okay. Look at me. I just want to make sure I put it on correctly. >> Miam was placed in the patrol car and taken to the station without any further incident. She was charged with shoplifting. On August 19th, 2022, the police were dispatched to a Walmart where a woman was suspected of stealing goods. Upon arrival, the cops intercepted her at the store exit as she was pushing a cart full of merchandise. >> Excuse me, ma'am. Come back inside the store for me. Just bring your cart. Come back inside the store. Bring your cart. Bring your cart. Come back inside the store. I don't want to embarrass you in the parking lot. >> Bring your cart. Come back inside the store, please. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Bring your card inside the store, please. >> I'm coming inside the store now. >> I am coming out. All of that. Let >> go back to this door right here. >> Ma'am, push the car inside the store. >> I'll put my car inside the store before I snap. >> Oh, wow. >> And keep walking back in towards the cash registers. >> We'll make a right here. I'm going to walk down to the other side of the store. >> The cop took the suspect to the security office. She had no ID, wasn't treating the police with the appropriate respect, and wasn't taking the situation seriously. To avoid listening to more of her rambling, the officer got straight to the point. >> No, but I So, so let's stop right now. Okay. >> I'm stopping you for shoplifting. >> If you want to leave out of here, you're going to change your attit Stop. Stop. Stop. If you want to leave out of here, you're going to change your attitude. Okay. >> If not, I'll just take you to the county cuz I really don't care. >> I don't go to jail. >> You don't? Cuz you can't >> continue with I I don't go to jail. I don't have a record. But what I'm telling >> Right. But what I'm telling you is today you can make your way to the county. >> What did I make? >> Number one is this purse and also the clothes in this cart that you bagged up at the register. >> So let's let's let's change the tone. >> Okay. >> Let me tell y'all something. I scanned my family and it's an employee here. If you saying I shot the my panties, they're $3. >> Oh my goodness. >> I I done sit up there all the day. That's why exactly I don't come here. I don't do not come to this Walmart because y'all be on. If that's the case, you could have easily said, >> "Okay, first of all, stop. Stop all that. Back away. Back away from the cart." Now, >> next, the cop asked the suspect for her receipts. She handed over two of them, but not all the items in the cart were paid for. The officer also knew it even before checking the receipts because he trusted what he had seen with his own eyes. >> This purse does not belong to you. This purse belongs to the store. I watched you take this off the shelf and tear the tags off. These do not belong to you. This does not belong to you. Oh, why should you put this inside the purse? >> Please don't grab any of the stolen merchandise. >> Please don't grab anything out of the purse. Okay. >> All right. Go ahead. >> That belongs to us. >> Okay. >> You got that. Thank you. I can go into my wallet. >> No, you cannot. Not right now. >> Me? >> Because I've stopped you for a lawful reason. No, you cannot go into your wallet. I don't know what's inside your wallet. Please step over here. Okay. Okay, that's it. >> Miss Daisy, I'm I'm walk her down to the office and then we'll walk. Can you Can you Can you just tell her to put this way back on my card? Hold this. Can you walk this way for me? Put my money back on my car. >> You'll get this in a second. Walk this way. >> I I would tell you stand here. Let's walk this way. I I don't want it. >> Ma'am, leave everything in the car and walk this way. >> $300 for all my stuff. >> Walk this way. >> Please don't be aggressive. >> Walk this way. >> Please don't be aggressive. >> Pay attention to what I'm telling you then. >> I am paying attention to what >> Please walk this way. That's frustrating. You talking about what you saw, what you watch. Okay, you got what you wanted. Let it go cuz everything else I paid for. >> The woman clearly believed it was okay to pay for only selected items. And she still thought that since the cop had recovered the purse and the hidden merchandise, she could just walk away freely. But that's not how the law works. So the officer took her to the staff room. >> Step inside. Have a seat on the bench. Step inside. Have a seat on the bench. I'm only going to tell you one more time. Step inside. Have a seat on the bench. >> I'm going step inside and you going to let me out. >> I'mma step inside. She got what she wanted. If that's the case, here go my food stamp card. Give me back all my money on her. And I will leave. I will simply leave. I go to Walmart on 441. Period. I'm not right now. I'm not gonna have my name because I ain't >> have a seat. No, you're going to have a seat. >> Realizing she wouldn't get off that easily. The suspect came up with a new angle. She demanded that Walmart refund her money since everything was still in the cart and nothing had left the store. It was entitlement at its finest. >> What is this? You need to communicate. I've already told you what you've been stopped for. >> Okay. You said shoplifting with a purse and you didn't pay for your pennies. >> That's correct. >> And I paid for everything else. >> Okay, that's fine. So, they're going to go through the card. >> You want me to pay for the pennies? Swipe my car. >> I No, I said go ahead and go ahead and just refund me my money back and I'll go somewhere else. It's simple. >> It's common sense. >> That's why usually people come in and they pay for the stuff and they get the lead. myself, sir. Don't don't don't come at me like that because I'm not I don't have a record being this. >> Okay. But you got caught stealing today, right? >> I got caught stealing today. Okay. If that justifies your situation, cool. >> No, it justifies your situation, ma'am. >> No, it doesn't work that way. >> What doesn't work that way? >> You don't just get to leave. >> Why do I not get the lead? >> Because you're being stopped. >> The suspect was visibly frustrated by her hopeless position. She asked for her wallet, but the officer firmly refused. That annoyed her. And once she lost her temper, the situation spiraled. >> Okay, you can keep that. I I'll get something because what I want to do, >> don't bump me, ma'am, because I didn't I didn't do nothing. >> So, stop and have a seat. >> Okay, I am going to have you to the ground because you're hurting. >> Stop. I'm going take you to the ground, >> sir. First of all, sir, I'm Stop. I'm going take you to the ground. My pinky. That's all. >> I'm telling you right now, if you do not stop tensing up, I'm going to take you to the ground. >> All go sit down. >> No. Now you're going to get put in cuffs. >> For what? >> Stop tensing up. I'm going to take you to the ground. >> Turn around. Turn around. >> This is some >> You do not have to put me in cuffs. I will comply and go sit my around now >> and bump me again like that. >> And I'm I'm trying to get I'm >> I told you to stop. What the is you doing now? You sitting up here. No, you're not. >> You not You not You're not going to sit up here and put me on my face and I'm aing woman. You break You You break something. >> On the ground now. On the ground now. >> On the ground now. >> On the ground. >> My arm like that. >> On the ground now. >> Oh my god. >> On the ground now. Call my mother. >> During her resistance, a piece of her tooth or dental prosthetic apparently chipped off. That didn't seem to bother her much, but the pain in her face was clearly driving her out of her skin. >> Have a seat. She's sticking something. >> So, >> have a seat, >> Maya. [ __ ] >> why I'm sticking something in my >> way in my mother? >> Have a seat. >> Why you me on my face? >> Have a seat. Have a seat. >> My face is killing me. >> Have a seat now. >> Don't bump my head. >> Have a seat. >> Don't bump my head. >> Have a seat. Are you going back on the ground? >> Do not bump my head. >> Have a seat. >> You You aggression blow to the wrong people. >> Stay seated. >> I am seated >> and do not get up. >> Meanwhile, two more officers arrived. The suspect showered them with senseless tie raids and of course didn't miss the chance to pull the race card, but she had to quiet down when Walmart employees presented the full receipt of unpaid items from her cart. This shows that you did not scan $326.75 worth of items before tax. That's what this shows. >> That's what this is. They went through your cart and they compare the items that were scanned in the cart with the receipt you gave and anything that wasn't scanned and paid for. >> That I did not scan. We had two cart. Did they go into the cart that already left? >> No, they took Listen, that's common sense. >> Okay. But listen, ma'am, they took the cart that you had. >> The cart that I had. >> You had You had the receipt for your cart and the lady and the lady gave you the receipt along with your food stamp card for the car she had. Correct. >> Did you get the receipt for my suspect? >> We took your receipt. >> Once everything was clear, the cops led the suspect to the parking lot. She demanded that EMT be called and also insisted on contacting her brother. But when the officers put her in the patrol car, she completely lost it. >> Watch your head. >> You did not even call. >> You did not even call empty. I don't want to get in here. I don't want to get in here. [ __ ] run. >> Listen. >> For what? For what? For what? No. Don't put no on me. Don't put nothing on me. And y'all hurting my hand. Stop grabbing on me. I get your hand off my neck. I'm going to keep my hand off my neck. >> Stupid. Hey, >> you're not going to join this somebody. No. Cuz y'all not respecting where the >> Listen to me. >> No. No. >> If you don't stop, >> we are going to hobble your feet. >> No. No. Do >> you understand that? >> No. No. No. Tell them I want an MG right now. >> You are going to see the nurse at the jail. >> I don't want to see no nurse. >> Okay. >> I don't want to see no. nurse has more training. >> The subject was brought to jail. She was charged with theft and resisting arrest without violence and sentenced to a pre-trial diversion program. On January 21st, 2024, police responded to a Walmart. The reason, a woman was caught attempting to bypass the checkout line with two shopping carts full of merchandise. Upon arrival, the cops found the suspect detained by the security staff. >> Why am I going to jail for? >> Do not resist. >> I'm not resisting. >> Put your back. Put your back there. Put your back there. >> What am I going to jail? >> You're under arrest for shoplifting. >> But these are what people are saying. They're supposed to be for See how this works is you can't take stuff from inside and not pay for it and take it out and then return it. That's called fraud. It's called stealing. That's how that works. >> You kind of have to pay for stuff before you return it. You're an adult. You can't steal stuff from the store, two cart loads full of stuff, and then say, "Oh, I'm in handcuffs now. Now I want to return it." The woman, later identified as Alexis, didn't seem to realize she'd been caught in the act and that her problems weren't going to be solved by just offering to pay. Meanwhile, it was revealed she hadn't been alone in the store. So, her companion was also detained. >> Can I tell you to pick up the car? Cuz I do have a car here. >> Um, I need to get a receipt for everything. >> So, hold on. We'll take this one, too, once he's ready. And that's my brother. >> Is that who is with you? >> No, that's my name. >> Who is with you? >> That's my god brother. >> Your god brother? >> Yes. >> What's his name? >> Junior. >> Junior. >> Security staff took the cart to calculate the total value of the stolen items. But even before they were done, one of the Walmart employees pointed out specific products that Alexis had definitely tried to steal. Is that you can pay for our >> cash that already? >> We were done with that. >> You're done with that. You stole the bags to begin with. >> No, that's my bag. >> No, you stole these bags to begin with. Sticky hands got into my stuff. Look, there they are. You even have more in your own personal bag that you just said is yours. >> That is my personal bag. >> And who's in there? >> Put her in your car and then he can go in his car and then I'll get everything started and go from there. Yeah. just start getting IDs and we'll go from there. >> Alexis and her companion had used a classic shoplifting scheme. Walmart staff were well aware of this method and one of them explained to the officer where and how the two had attempted to steal. >> Nice. >> Where were they bagging this up? >> So they went into Well, they were in two different departments. They went to the shoe department where they did most of it. >> Okay. >> And they did some where the towels are. >> Okay. And they were bagging it as >> they were bagging as they were gone. >> All right, cool. >> Alexis was taken to the police car. She seemed more concerned about how to retrieve her car later than about the consequences of her theft. But after the officer read her Miranda rights, she was forced to admit exactly what she had done and what she had stolen. So then you parked in the parking lot with your god brother god brother and what's his name? >> Junior. >> Junior. Okay. With Junior. Then after that you guys what happened after that? >> I went and I um grabbed some towels. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Grab that's it. So you're telling me all you did is grab some towels.

And also what else do you mention taking? >> The towels without paying for them. And what else was in the cart? >> It was some uh a knife set. Knife set. >> Okay. Alexis tried to lie, claiming she had only one cart at the exit, but the officer had seen her with two fully loaded carts and preferred to trust his own eyes. He then asked what she planned to do with all those stolen goods. >> And then, so you passing them and what were you planning on doing after? You're going to just use them for your house or were you going to like return them later or sell them later? Like what was the purpose of what was the purpose of you stealing? >> I'm just being dumb.

Let's say you just walked out. >> I really don't know what you're going to do. >> I I really want to know what I was going to do. >> All right. >> Alexis clearly didn't have a specific reason for stealing. Maybe she was doing it for the thrill of shoplifting itself. Still, once again, she asked the officers if she could just pay for the stolen items and walk away. And that's when she realized her situation was far worse than it looked. >> Are you really going to ask for the >> 1092? Huh? >> Tell me. >> Okay. >> No, ma'am. that that point has already been passed and it's a felony amount of what he Yeah, it's a felony. Anything over 700 uh uh $750 in the state of Florida.

Sometimes shoplifterss leave Walmart with a cart full of stolen goods. Most times they leave in the back seat of a patrol car. And if they don't learn their lesson, the next reality check from the cops might hit even harder.
