to touch me that's fine I understand that I just want you to understand if you do have to go to the hospital it might prolong your stay in jail because you'll have to be cleared medically first before you leave there before you can go into the jail it's not going to deter or defer any of that y'all go ahead and take him to the jail I'm I'm just letting you know that that's you do not want me to

you know having these Pokey things in you or anything like that if I can help you get a should have never T me okay I don't know what happened I'm just here trying to help you at this point I understand yes ma'am yeah if y'all could just take me to the jail that'll be fine okay so that's it's you're not going to go directly to the jail if you refuse to let me take these at you'll go to the hospital if that's what if you refuse me taking them out that's what it is I'm just letting you know that okay that's what you side all right hey I I'll tell you all what happened okay I'm I'm working here in the store I'm working off duty in the store okay I work here all the time mhm I see you come up here all the time you know I face okay yeah every day I I don't usually have an issue up here okay occasionally I've got a problem mhm but most times if if the manager or somebody tells me hey I don't think that person paid for an item or this person didn't pay for item I I approach him and I say do you have a receipt for the items you're paid for and most times it's not a problem most people will give me a receipt right away I mean I have a job to do if I don't if I don't get a receipt then I assume the worst yeah and if you're not willing to give me the receipt then I'm going to assume you didn't pay for the items if you didn't pay for the items Publix is a great place they usually want to trespass you they usually don't want to arrest you and they'll let you go on your way now I'm working off duty here the last thing I want to do is arrest somebody the last thing I want to do is taser somebody the last thing I want to do is mess with anybody I'm here just to keep the peace to make sure that people aren't walking out with stuff being disrespectful to the public that's what I'm doing so I'm staying right up here by the registers okay and I see your daughter walk out now she had a bag but that doesn't mean she paid for items many people have bags they come in they steal stuff all the time every day there's all different kinds of scams that go on here even in front of my face yep so I see her walking through the through the self checkout walking out this way and one of the managers like I don't think she paid for her stuff so by the time I make contact whether she's sitting in her vehicle in the end the store receipt confirmed that Twanda did purchase the groceries and she was charged with resisting arrest without violence her charges were later dropped and she fought a lawsuit against Publix in the lawsuit she was seeking in excess of $50,000 for physical harm and mental trauma the case was later dismissed and the Sheriff's Office internal audit determined that the arresting officer had probable cause and the use of force was justified if you
