You're done. I'm going to tase you. I'm going to tase you. >> Okay. Well, that is true. I did lie about who I am. I technically didn't lie about who I am cuz that's my sister. I just panic. >> I didn't do nothing wrong, bro. >> From baseless accusations of racism to fake identities used to hide outstanding warrants. Many suspects still believe defiance can help them escape legal trouble. But under body cams and surveillance cameras, every lie eventually falls apart. These are the moments shoplifterss realize that the more stubbornly they fight the law, the deeper they push themselves into criminal consequences. What would you do if police gave you a chance to walk away peacefully, but your own defiance turned the situation into a criminal arrest? >> Now, I'm on the sidewalk. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Okay, stop. >> I'm asking you VERY NICELY. A WHITE GUY and a No, I'm not doing nothing wrong. Okay, you guys have to give me Oh, you you I'm not doing NOTHING WRONG. >> LET GO FIRST. You're resisting now. >> I'm right here. >> I'm 55. Oh, now they're saying I'm arresting. >> On February 11th, 2023, officers in New Mexico responded to a disturbance call at a beauty store and quickly encountered Veronica Garcia acting aggressively in the parking lot. Stop. Drop your bag. Hey, >> drop your bag. >> What did he tell you? >> Drop your bag. >> He's lying to you. >> Drop your bag. >> I didn't do nothing. >> I didn't do >> Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Stop.

What's your problem? >> There you go. I'm trying to put this right here. >> Miss, >> you don't listen. >> Stand over here. >> I didn't do nothing wrong. >> Did you understand the right officer to you? >> Well, that's water pedal. >> What am I under arrest for? >> Right now, you're not. >> So, you're being detained right now. Few questions for you. Okay. >> I didn't do nothing, bro. You listen to me. What's your name? You don't want to talk to me. >> All right. So, I'm going to tell you something important. I want you to pay attention. Okay. You do have a right to remain silent. Anything you do are sacred against you. >> I didn't do nothing wrong. >> I'm trying to tell you something. >> I didn't do nothing wrong. >> You going to talk to me? Yes or no? >> I didn't do nothing wrong. >> Okay. You're not answering. I went into Ultima and I sprayed some for pum on myself and that [ __ ] came out and he's all I'm calling the police on you for what reason? >> I didn't do a thing wrong, bro. >> What's your name? >> [ __ ] what my name is. >> I didn't know your name. If you don't tell me your name, then you're going to be arrested for concealing ID. >> What's your name? >> Veronica Eileen Garcia. But I have them in this one car for pizza. >> He can look through the entire thing. But I don't understand why you're putting me in half. >> Cuz you're the chain. >> Everything's documented. Everything. >> Yes. Everything is documented. >> Documented. That's documented. >> This is your Victoria Secret. Now that's all the >> Let me tell you this, Veronica. You didn't steal anything. Thank you for being honest about that. Okay. But the thing with that did happen the way you're behaving inside the store too. Why you going back and forth making threats to the security guy and you trying to belittle him just because security guard. >> Okay. >> What did he tell you? >> Okay. I'm talking to you. >> Okay. Don't worry. Don't worry about what he says. Worry what I'm saying right now. >> I didn't do nothing to anyone and I didn't say [ __ ] You know why? >> All right, Veronica. Go ahead and stand up. on that behalf. >> Can you give us just one second, please? Thank you. >> But what's going to happen, Veronica, is you're being trespassed from Alta. Well, that means you cannot go to Alta at all. If you do go there, they call us, you're going to get arrested for criminal trespass. >> For what reason? >> Because they have the right to trespass people. Okay? So, listen to me, Aronica. You're not going to jail. You're going to go do whatever you got to do. Okay? But if you go back to that property, which is Alta, >> you're not allowed to be there. >> You're going to get arrested. Do you understand? That is the point. >> You're not going to argue back. >> Okay. Okay. Fine. >> If you do argue back, I'll change my mind. >> Okay, fine. I'll never go. >> Your bag, you're free to go. Bye, Veronica. Veronica, get out of here. Veronica, this is their property. Oh, >> this is not their property. >> This is their property. Get over there. Want me to switch my mind? >> Someone >> want me to change my mind? >> Okay. Can I ask >> Get over there? >> No. Can I >> Okay, let's go together. >> Can I talk to you over there? >> No, you can talk to me here. >> What that sec What was that security guard? >> Let me tell you this. You go in there, you become rude to people. They work there. You >> Let me I'm talking trespass. Get the out of here. >> No. Why are you going to jail? I'm I'm tired of you. >> If you resist, I'm going to charge you with resisting, too. >> I'll stop now. >> Then get the out of here. I'll give you the chance to go. Go. Go. Here's your trespass. Get the out of here. >> They're saying I was trespassing. >> You're being trespassed. >> Yes, Garcia. Here. I'll explain it to you. Okay. >> So, you >> gentlemen, they're saying I was trespassed for what reason? >> Let me explain to you. >> All walked and was I I will show you the spider. Look at the cameras, bro. >> Miss Garcia, listen to me. Okay, >> you're officially being trespassed as of right now. Okay. As of today's date. >> Okay, I'll take I'll take this and Okay, go. >> So, for the next 3 years, should you come back, you could you won't be under. Okay, >> I'll leave that long. >> Police initially only wanted her to sign a three-year trespass notice and leave without going to jail, but Veronica kept arguing and challenging officers. Miss Garcia, you have been trespassed from this location. >> I'm I'm on the sidewalk. >> You're You're right. >> This guy is telling me I'm >> Take your purse off. >> They're They're They're obtainment. Julie, >> it's 282. >> Yes. >> What are you doing? >> Drop your phone. Drop your phone. >> No, sis. Here we go. Let me see. >> JOEY, STAND UP, MR. You can't take me to jail. I'm on the sidewalk. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Okay, please. >> Okay, stop. >> I'm asking you very nicely. >> It's a white guy and a No, I'm not doing nothing wrong. Okay, you guys have to give me Oh, >> you you I'm not DOING NOTHING WRONG. >> LET GO FIRST. You're resisting now. >> I'm right here. >> You'reing I now they're saying I'm arresting. Yeah, >> they want my [ __ ] money, guys. >> I don't want your money. We make enough money as it is, miss. We don't need yours. >> Okay. Okay, stop. Why are you acting like this? >> Miss Garcia, please take let go of your purse. >> The situation escalated when she refused to let go of her purse and phone, forcing officers to take her to the ground as chaos erupted around them. >> Trespass. >> What? >> We literally just >> Trust me, I'm walking on the sidewalk, bro. >> Right in front of Ulta Beauty. But I'm not doing nothing at all to beat the bro. >> You're being >> Okay, you have to work with me. >> No, we do not. We worked with you plenty. >> Do it. >> Miss Garcia, let go of your purse. >> Come on, bro. I ate up the call, sir. >> Call the internal search right now. Call the internal guard on the Santa Fe PD right now or call the FBI or the DEA or the FBI. >> Actually, Miss Garcia, this is your last chance. If you don't let go of your purse, I will cut your purse out from your fingers. >> Don't turn me over. >> I'm not doing nothing. I'm laying on their >> Come on, guys. Come on. Look away. They're pushing me against the [ __ ] They're THEY'RE PUSHING ME AGAINST THE They're cutting my curse. >> They're throwing me. I'm not even resisting. >> Yes, you have. >> Mhm. >> What the [ __ ] do YOU WANT FROM ME? >> THAT'S GARCIA. >> OH, REALLY? Break my arm. You >> What? I'm not doing nothing. That's your arm. Why are you doing this?

What does this have to do with you, >> bro? What What's wrong with you? >> What's wrong with you? >> Pushing me. Go get it. >> No. >> Give me my purse. >> You're going to have your purse. You're going to have your purse. >> Give it to me now. >> You're going to have it. >> What's your problem? You give me my I'll double check her bag for you, dude. >> Yeah, she has something some things you shouldn't have. >> I have all my three phones. >> Oh, your what? >> My three phones. The new one. The >> You only have two phones. >> The new one IN THE BOX. >> WHEN DID YOU GET ANOTHER IN THE BOX? >> You said in the box. >> IT'S A BOOST. I HAVE a receipt for everything. You take >> You're not listening to my question, so I'm not going to. >> Veronica Garcia was ultimately arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and resisting officers, proving that body cam footage often turns reckless resistance into clear criminal evidence. When dealing with law enforcement, cooperation and basic compliance are often the difference between walking away and ending up in handcuffs. If Veronica Garcia's defiance at Ulta Beauty turned a simple trespass warning into a violent arrest, the next Walmart case reveals the opposite lesson, the power of honesty when facing a mistake. What would you do if you were stopped with a cart full of unpaid groceries? Could honesty make the situation easier? Or would confessing to previous thefts only pull you deeper into legal trouble? >> You said two weeks ago. You want to just call me when you get here. >> Hey man, you have camera from two weeks ago. >> That was because I didn't pay for the water accidentally. Everything else was paid for >> two weeks ago, >> right? Was it me? I took it though. >> Since you were mostly honest about what you stole today, can you be honest with me about what you stole two weeks ago? >> I didn't steal. My accomplice did it. You're accomplishing this. >> I mean, the person that I was with. >> On December 2nd, 2025, Walmart security stopped a woman attempting to leave with unpaid groceries. But unlike many suspects, she immediately cooperated with officers instead of arguing or running. >> So, you might have to explain it to them. What's going on? Our cameras are on it. I don't know. She's just under a bunch of items. This one, these two right here. >> I brought a theft number. We'll make sure they get in here and then he >> Yeah, I'm just making sure. But you're going to go with him. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I'd probably go in there as well. >> All right, ladies. I'm just going to read you your rights real quick before I speak to you. >> Well, she has nothing to do with this. >> It's fine. I'm just >> I did miscan some things. So, >> okay. >> I'm just telling the truth. >> Okay. So, before I ask you any questions, it's my duty to advise you of your rights. Do you understand your rights? >> Yep. >> Do you wish to speak to me? >> Yeah. >> During questioning, the suspect openly pointed out the items she intentionally skipped at selfch checkout. So, as you were going through the store, uh, did you happen to scan everything when you went through the checkout? >> I did not scan. >> Okay. >> I mean, you guys know, so I'm just honest. >> Okay. What items? >> No, cuz of me lying about it. >> I I appreciate some roasted. It's not very many things, but it's a few things. >> Okay. Can you point those items out there? >> It's the It's the roast. Um, a hamburger. Roast hamburger. on my receipt of items. >> Yes. >> You want me to help you? >> This here >> and then >> the hamburger real quick. Um, you were with it. Okay. >> Um, did you have to take me as well? >> Okay. You didn't buy any items? >> No, I didn't buy any on you. Okay. >> All right. >> He didn't have anything. I didn't even know I was to be honest. >> Did you plan on doing that? >> Not really. Just >> pretty expensive, but I don't know. No, I didn't plan on coming here for that. I got I still got I mean >> low on money. >> What I'm calling. >> Was it just these items here that you didn't scam? >> You are free to leave if you want. You can wait in here if you want to with her, but if you want to call, you're allowed to. Okay. >> Am I going to jail? Well, we're going to figure some things out, but she has nothing to do with it. So, we'll get the road with me. >> I know. >> Are you out here or you going to go to your car right now? >> Yeah. >> Are you cool if I see your ID, man? I know you're not involved. I'm willing to give it to you. >> That's all I have. >> What's that? I'm sorry. >> I don't have an ID. >> Oh, okay. Would you be willing to give me your name? >> Yes. >> Okay. I appreciate that. >> The situation became more serious when officers reviewed surveillance footage from 2 weeks earlier. After initially blaming another person, the woman broke down crying and admitted her involvement. >> This is apparently from two weeks ago. So >> two weeks ago. >> Two weeks ago. What do you mean? >> Was this confirmed from last night? You said two weeks ago. >> You wanted to just call me when you get here. >> Hey man, you have two weeks ago. >> That was because I didn't pay for the water accidentally. Everything else was paid for >> two weeks ago, >> right? Wasn't me that took it though. >> Since you were mostly honest about what you stole today, can you be honest with me about what you stole two weeks ago? >> I didn't steal. My accomplice did it. >> Your accomplice and >> I mean the person that I was with I was with him. He took some stakes. >> Who was the person you're with? >> His name is >> Yeah, I was with him. >> We were I have a drug addict. I was with him. Okay. So he was supplying my drugs doing just being on this. >> How do you know him? >> Um just from getting high. I'm from Peoria. I moved to Washington to get away from the sh. I still keep running back to Peoria. >> That's what it is. I'm sorry. I was I'm supposed to be going to treatment after Christmas. I should be going to treatment now. >> But you're stating that you didn't take anything that day. >> No. No, I didn't take anything. What did you drive here today? Did you drive or did >> I drove? You drove? What car were you driving? >> Um, oh my god. A Hyundai Santa Fe. >> What color? >> Blue. >> Like when you pull >> when you when you pull in the Walmart, it's like the first lane, but >> I pulled up. So, it's probably the second lane. >> Straight out this way though. >> Go straight ahead on the grocery. I think there's also a >> side one parking lot >> on the counter. >> Oh man. >> There's a car register to you. >> Yes. >> What are you guys going to do? >> Nothing. >> No. >> You have a valid license, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, you just I ask I like to ask everyone cuz some people don't have license and they drive here. >> Yeah. We're not >> I can't believe that she's here cuz she's the one helping me kind of get off driving. >> You guys are friends. Everybody says it. >> You guys I mean I've been out. >> Can I apologize to him? Can I apologize too? I apologize. And I think somebody thought she was me and her. >> Oh yes, I did. I did. I did that. from that day or stole. >> Well, that's what I did and he did the stakes >> and he did the stakes. Okay, the stakes aren't on here. He's showing the um what you what you miss scanned there. Okay, >> you know what? I probably You know what? I'm not even going to lie to you. Like I was high. >> Okay. >> So, I mean, I remember that though. I remember that. >> Okay. >> All right. I mean, I was I was high. Look at I was hot. So that day you can kind of confirm with me that >> when you were scanning those items, you you miscount these specific items. >> Look at me, sir. >> Yeah. Okay. All right. I just want to get your >> I mean that you did it. >> I got to tell the truth. Like >> I appreciate you being honest with us. >> Although officers showed sympathy, the law still carried consequences. With $4823 in stolen merchandise, she received a court summon for retail theft, a $100 civil fine, and a permanent ban from all Walmart stores. Honesty and cooperation can sometimes reduce tension during an investigation. But every theft still leaves behind legal and financial consequences. If honesty at Walmart helped avoid handcuffs, the next Dollar Tree case shows the opposite. A suspect whose stubbornness destroys every chance at walking away free. How would you react if police told you the store had decided not to press theft charges and you were completely free to walk away? >> I'll speak to sergeant then. >> I'm here. >> No, I'll speak to a different sergeant. I want [snorts] Who's above you? >> Okay. >> Who's above you? >> No one. >> There's no one above you. >> Not today. Nope. I'm it. >> So, you pay yourself. Who pays you? >> Why is it funny to just answer? >> The city of Margate. >> I want to speak to the city of Margate. >> Okay. >> I'm a representative of the city of Margate. I would like to speak to the city of Margate. That's >> how how do you speak to a city? >> You want to say dumb? >> No, I'm asking. >> On October 17th, 2025, officers in Margate, Florida, responded to a reported theft and assault at Dollar Tree. Minutes later, they spotted the suspect buying pizza at Little Caesars, easily identified by her bright orange socks, matching the store's description. >> Stop right there. Margate Police. >> Hi, how are you? >> Good. Do me a favor. Come sit in front of my vehicle. >> Okay, I'll be fine. Pizza? Huh? >> I was just buying pizza. >> That's fine. Just do me a favor. Put the pizza up there. >> All right. Do me a favor. Let's remove the backpack. >> Sure. >> All right. You have no weapons on you? Nothing like that. Any weapons in your backpack? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. >> All right. Do me a favor. Put your hands behind your back. Right now, you're being detained pending a criminal investigation. Okay. >> Uh, possible theft and a battery. across the street. >> Yes, ma'am. >> And theft >> against who? >> Huh? >> Battery and theft against who? >> Huh? We're going to we're going to figure all that out, but right now you're going to be detained pending that criminal investigation. Okay. >> You said theft and battery against who? >> Huh? Across the street? >> Could I cross the street? >> No, across the street, ma'am. >> Okay. What did I do? >> Okay. Well, once we gather all the facts and circumstances, we'll be able to explain it more thoroughly to you. >> How would you know it's me? because you are a person matching the exact description wearing all black backpack and orange socks. >> Okay. So, someone described me know if it's true or not. >> Well, we are we are going to do a show up identification to positively identify or not identify you. Okay. But right now, you are being detained pending a criminal investigation. Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I want to know what's the law. >> You're Well, there explain to you the law. >> I want to read it. >> Right now, you don't get to you don't get to read the law. >> Why not? >> Listen. Listen. I mean, you said >> you you are matching the description of someone. >> You are matching the description of someone involved in a crime. We have the right of the crime. >> Listen to me. You're not listening. You're asking all these questions and you're not listening to us. >> Okay? >> So, listen. >> You match the description of somebody involved in a crime. We have the right to detain you >> and investigate that crime. We also have the right to identify you. And if you fail to identify yourself, you're going to be arrested. >> Okay. Instead of cooperating, the woman immediately turned the encounter into a heated argument, repeatedly interrupting officers and demanding they quote the law word for word. >> Can you please provide this officer with your name? >> I would like no. The answer is no. I would like to know the law. >> That's fine. >> I want to read the law. My >> explain to what law >> you're saying because I match description. >> Yes. >> That gives us the right to detain you pending further investigation. I didn't say you're under arrest. Okay. So, there's a big difference between being detained pending criminal investigation and being under arrest. When you're under arrest, you be will be read your rights if we ask you any questions pertaining to the crime. >> What the crime even is? >> I told you a possible theft and a possible battery. >> I want to know what the law is as far as detaining me. >> I didn't even finish. >> He just explained it to you. You weren't even here. >> I walked up and I asked you. >> He talked to you. You didn't speak to him yet. >> So again, a crime was committed across the street. >> All right. No, >> the description the the description was given of a female of the law before. Let me finish your question. >> Not letting me finish. >> You said it twice now. >> The description even went so far as to say the female was lashing going into Little Caesars. >> Really? >> I caught you red-handed with a pizza in your hand from Little Caesar. >> The pizza, correct? That's not >> out of the ordinary. I'm asking you what the law is far as detaining me without seeing any footage, without having any witness. The so far this so called the battery. This soal theft and battery. I want to see footage of it first. >> I already said I want a lawyer twice. >> I want to know what the law is as far as detaining someone without letting a person know what exactly happened. I want a lawyer. That's it. >> Well, again, I'm not asking you any questions pertaining to the the crime. So, >> I'm asking to see what the law I want to read what the law says in regards to what's happening. It's the third time saying it to you. You'd rather stare at him and make faces. >> I'm staring at you, but nothing seems to be going through your head. >> Why staring at him? >> Ma'am, we've explained it like 10 times to you. >> All right, >> then don't explain anymore. >> We ask you for sign up for the jacket. >> You should be able to explain it without feeling frustrated. You can relax, >> ma'am. We explained everything to you. So, I should be able to say what I'm saying to you. Frustrated overident. I'll speak to the sergeant then. I'm here. >> No, I'll see a different side. I want Who's above you? >> Okay. >> Who's above you? >> No one. >> There's no one above you. >> Not today. Nope. I am it. >> So, you pay yourself. Who pays you? >> Just Why is it funny to just answer >> the city of Margate? >> I want to see the city of Margate. >> Okay. >> The situation escalated when she refused to provide identification, forcing officers to use facial recognition software to confirm who she was. city. How How do you speak to a city? >> So, you want to say dumb? >> No, I'm asking. >> I'm asking you the question. Who pays you? Are you getting or no? >> Who pays you? >> What? What? Do you have a specific question right now? Sergeant above you? Who's the sergeant above you? >> Sergeants are above each other. >> Okay. So, who's above you? I want to speak to the person that's in charge of you. >> I'm more than happy to answer. >> Okay, then go ahead and answer. I'm waiting for it. >> I'm waiting for it. Give me the name. >> Are you able to or no? >> Oh my god. >> Wow. I want to speak I wanted to speak to someone that's competent that's able to give me a name of who the sergeant. >> I tried to answer a question and you were rude and you talk. You say he spoke to you when he would have spoke to you first walked up. You came from around that time. >> No, I didn't. You didn't see me. I was behind you. My car is behind you. >> Okay. We have cameras. I'm sure they can see it. Correct. So, he was here first. He came that I'm going step by step. >> I am too. When he came out here, okay, ma'am, >> he came. >> You don't want to listen. Okay. You don't want to listen. >> I'm saying exactly what happened, but you don't want to listen to me. >> What's your name? Kitchen. Okay. >> All right, ma'am. What What's your first name? >> I'm not giving up my name. I'll speak to a lawyer. >> Required by law to speak to the person that says where the law says to read it. If you can't read >> if you fail to identify yourself, >> you will be charged with an additional crime. >> Okay. You're going to charge me a crime. This will not even do you show me proof of and want to read the law to me. >> I want to speak to the person in charge. >> Look over there. >> Why is that? You want to shoot me? Is that what it is? Is you guys got on? >> Oh, okay. >> I'm speaking to him, not you. I want to speak to the actual sergeant. >> Someone is above you, not you. I want to speak to an actual sergeant. >> I thought you were doing a show. >> No, no, no. I'm going to do a pat down and we're going to move on with life since she's refusing to uh identify herself for crying. Come on, bro. >> I'm going to pat you down. >> Okay. >> Can you look forward, please? >> You don't have to grab me. I'm already standing right here. >> I'm not I haven't even moved. >> You did actually. >> Only thing I move with my head. So, you have to grab my arm for what? >> Are they coming over for a shot? >> Continue to look forward, please. >> I want to ask him a question. I want to find >> Continue to look forward to it. You're trying to force it. You're not You're trying to be >> I I am forcing. Yes, because >> I haven't even moved my feet. All you do is move my my what? My waist. >> Cuz you're moving my waist. >> Money or what is that in your pocket? >> Correct. >> I want to speak to actual sergeant. >> No, I'm going to go as far as to go. Sergeant, >> I'll let you know that right now. >> Sergeant Kitchen. >> No, I'll speak to someone someone bigger than you.

I'm talking to him. >> Freelander, you know. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome, Freelander. Even though Dollar Tree ultimately declined to pursue theft charges, the suspect was still taken to jail for resisting and refusing to identify herself. In the end, the original accusation disappeared, but her own stubbornness created the criminal charges that followed. If refusing to identify herself at Dollar Tree led to arrest, the next Target case becomes even more ironic because the suspect was already well known to store security before she even walked inside. Can fake names and arrogant boasts about stealing thousands of times really keep someone out of handcuffs? Or do those words only become evidence that sends them straight to jail? >> Be honest. >> Okay. Can I tell you why I lied? I don't >> Because you have a warrant. You don't want to go to jail for it. >> No, because my mom is sick. She's going to panic. >> Okay. Well, you should have thought about that before this all happened. >> You're right. Look. Okay. >> Did I do any of this? >> No, you didn't do nothing to me. And you've been nice. Even though you've been mad at me cuz I ran, but you have been nice. Okay. Okay. The resistant arrest and the theft. Please, can you not charge me with the third one? >> It It all depends. >> Okay. My first name is I swear and I I will prove it to you. >> Okay. >> My first name is Jaya. J E I Z A. >> J A >> No, no, no. E. See, >> J E. >> J E I Z A. >> Excuse me. >> Hey, look. I'm sorry for lying to you. Just minutes after entering Target, two women were recognized by Lost Prevention as familiar suspects connected to previous theft cases. Security immediately began tracking them through surveillance cameras. >> Come here. Come here. No, you're done. You're done. I'm going to tase you. I'm going to tase you. >> Okay. Okay.

You can hold the phone. I just want to call her and let her know I've been arrested so she can get everything in order for me. >> You said it's got no service. >> No, my mom's phone doesn't have service. She's at home with Wi-Fi. So, let you know how I'm going to jail. I wouldn't be able to dial her number and tell her cuz she doesn't have a number. >> You're an adult. You made that adult decision. >> We'll get that figured out. Where's your car? >> Once he finish this up, >> my car? >> Yeah. I mean, you going to say I'm lying, but I literally can't tell you where my car is from here. I can say what kind of car it is. Register, >> too. >> It's a rental car. Toyota Camry Black.

No, I I promise you it regardless of the amount, you know, I don't know what he's going to charge you with. If he's going to charge you with resist >> Oh, damn. Cuz I ran. >> So, I'm going to jail. Other thing, too. One of my hands are really slippy. So, one of my cuffs is slipping off cuz I was telling him to pull my pull my jacket up. I know he was think I was trying to resist, though. But, you know, if you have like a cloth on and you slide your hand like look, I promise you I'm not Don't say I'm trying to do anything wrong, but look. >> Look, I swear my hand is slipping. You see it? And I don't I don't want I don't want no extra charge. I don't want you guys to say I'm doing something wrong. So that's why I want to tell you. Do you see that? >> My whole hand will slip out and I don't want you guys to say I'm doing something. You >> been arrested before? >> No. >> Never. >> And now I'm looking. >> Where are you from? >> I'm from Florida. >> Yeah. Where? West Palm. >> No. Um Cor Springs. Broward County. >> So you guys came up from Broward? >> No. I I was coming down. I moved. >> So you came up from Broward? >> No, we came down. No, we came down from Marty County. I moved from Cold Springs, but I live up in Yeah. So, we came down, but we was we were heading towards >> All right, go ahead. >> Is there any way you could leave the door crack? It's so hot in here. >> I'm going to roll the window down and turn. >> No problem. >> All righty. Let's see here. See my cold dash. And what? When you made contact, they dropped it and took off. >> Yeah, but they passed. I made sure they passed all points of >> Yeah. No, I saw where you tried to stop them. >> Yeah. I was doing this and as I was walking back to my office, I saw them come in. I'm like, I am 90% sure these girls have um have been here before. Yeah. >> And you got the stuff on the bottom of the car, too, right? >> Yeah. I'll tell you right now what car they got into cuz they came in at 803. Let's see. Looks like a black car. >> Yeah, it should be a black hammer. >> At the scene, one suspect repeatedly gave false names to hide her identity. But once officers threatened fingerprint verification, she finally admitted she was trying to avoid an outstanding warrant. So your photo has already been put into their internal system as being someone who has stolen from stores in the past. >> Okay. >> So that's why we're asking you that question. >> Right. So the the one that we're talking about specifically is the one in Boon Beach at Lantana and 441. So if you recall doing something there, now is the time to talk about it. If not, if you don't recall it, then that's fine. But understand that based off of our contact with you today, there's a very good chance that additional charges will be filed against you if you've done this before and we have established probable cause for your arrest. I don't know if there's warrants for you yet. I'm not sure. But >> can you open the door? >> What? >> Can you open the door? >> No. Uh, you've already shown us that you're a flight risk, so I'm not going to risk you fleeing. >> I wouldn't even do that. I told I don't know if the other officers told you my my people >> I watched you run as I'm taking your friend into custody. >> No, you're completely right. I'm saying that after that cuz I felt wrong and I wasn't completely wrong for doing that for running from you guys after my friend's already going. >> I had my lights on so you knew that it was the police >> and you decided to run which is a crime. My question is why did you come to Palm Beach today? >> I don't even know. >> You don't live here, right? >> Yeah, I don't. >> The car The car you rented from somebody in Coral Springs? >> Well, I picked it up in Miami. picked it up in Miami. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, you went to Miami to get a a rental car. You come to Palm Beach to commit theft, but you live in Martin County. >> Well, >> so you're crossing county lines to commit >> No, actually, you have it wrong. I can tell you exactly why I came. Well, you don't have it wrong. Your >> You're not telling me, so I'm asking you questions. >> That's why I say you don't have it wrong. Your accusation from what you have is completely right. I came down to Miami about 3 days ago for my friend's baby shower. Me and my friend was coming up and literally wasn't supposed to stop. We were driving by and she said, "Hey, stop at this Target." Not even like that. She was like, "You want to go to this Target?" And I was like, "Yeah, I guess we won't even fully stop at this Target when you can you could leave. We can look in the car. There's nothing else in there." But um I literally went inside. So I don't even know why I was picking up anything. Y'all should have never even done that. But no, we didn't come we didn't leave from Miami. We was in Miami for a few days. The way you said it was like, "Oh, we came from Martin County, came to Miami, picked up a car, and then came directly to steal." No, that was completely inaccurate. I can show you photos from the baby shower and everything. We came down to Not because you said, you know, I was resisting. So you'll probably assume I'm a liar. >> So you know that's how it would go. >> Until you're able to prove otherwise I I have to question everything you said. >> And that's why I'm saying you are completely right. I was wrong for even running from you. And like I told him, I didn't even know running from an officer like you know running away and sending car resisting. That's why I kept saying remember when you first came up I was saying I'm not resisting cuz I I thought resisting like you know they putting on the handcuffs and you're fighting back. >> That's resisting with violence. >> You're getting a charge with resisting without violence. >> No you can charge me with I'm saying cuz I was fighting. >> I know I can. You don't have to tell me that. No, you are completely right. And I wouldn't say like, oh, you are you're doing your job completely right. And I'm >> Thank you for that. >> I'm not a person that's gonna do, you know. >> Yeah. >> Why do y'all always think I'm lying? >> Cuz that photo on your driver's license is not you. The one that you're giving, what's your social? >> I don't even know my last phone. I know my whole social by heart. >> Okay. All right. So, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to get a fingerprint scanner out here and they're going to scan your fingerprint. And when it's not you and you're lying about your name, then you're going to go to jail for another charge on top of it. Okay, how about that? Or do you want to just be honest with me and tell me who you really are? >> Because that's not you. >> Can I talk to you in private? >> Uh, go ahead. I'm right here. >> No, there's other officers around. >> What? What's the difference? >> It's a difference. Can I'm not going to I can Okay. Can I >> We're going to start at the baseline of honesty because you're saying that you're not lying about certain things, but you won't even tell me who who you really are. >> Okay. Can I please talk to you in private? >> Right here. Go ahead. Can you ask me to walk away or not? >> No. >> Okay. >> You're a female. I'm a male. I'm not going to have you make any sort of accusations that I did anything. >> Oh, no. I would not do that. You can turn your body camera on. What? That's crazy. >> Okay. >> You're not going to do that. But you won't even tell me who you are. >> Okay. Well, that is true. I did lie about who I am. >> What's your name? >> But I technically didn't lie about who I am cuz that's my sister. I just panic. >> Okay. What's your name? That's all. >> What's your name? >> What is your name? I have another warrant. >> Okay. What's your name? >> So, what's going to happen to me? >> The warrant, you're just going to go to jail on the additional charge of the warrant. And then where wherever the warrant is out of, whether it's Broward, Palm Beach, whatever, you're either going to get extra credited to that or they're going to say you can bond out whatever jail you're at. Okay. Both suspects were ultimately transported [music] to county jail facing charges including theft, non-violent resisting, and conspiracy. Modern retail security systems share information faster than many suspects realize. In today's digital world, lying about your identity often creates even bigger legal problems than the original theft itself.
