Officers were called to a Home Depot after a disagreement at the customer service counter turned into a disturbance, bringing police, loss prevention, and [clears throat] surveillance footage into the scene. >> Hello, man. >> Hi. >> Did you get into an argument with somebody by the front desk? >> Yes, I did. >> What was going on? >> I was going to return. Wait a minute. Why am I even explaining this? Get the manager and let her explain it to you. >> We've already spoken with her. ask you for your side. >> Okay. >> So, we just want to know what happened. >> Um, she pulled on me. She came I was doing a return. She made me stand in the back of the line for 15 minutes. I asked her to get me a manager. She went to telling me, um, I'm trying to help you. I said, I don't want your help. I want you to get me a manager. She said, um, well, you had to wait behind the people. She waited on six other people in front of me. I know that it was a a nasty little situation, I guess, because I asked them, "Is this the only place that you do returns?" She said, "Um, the not even her, she wasn't even the one that spoke. It was another worker that said, "We only do them over there." So, I was like, "Okay." And I stood there for 15 minutes and watch six other people go in front of me. When you off duty, would you stand there for 15 minutes and let six other people go in front of you? My time is just as valuable as anyone else. >> So, when I asked for a manager, she told me no. She went to popping off how she'll whoop my ass. So, I put my bag down and told her, "We can get it. Let's get it." >> You were trying to return something. >> Yes. >> Okay. And then I just >> And she threw my receipt at me. That's how it got started. She She took my receipt and get it like that. >> Okay. >> It's all on camera.

That's I was returning locks. >> We're new to the story. >> I know. I understand. But I I'm kind of my hearing is not all that good. So I get loud. So that I even explained that to the manager. It wasn't that I got loud with her. I never cursed at her, never said anything threatening to her. But she told me she was going to whoop my ass. This is where that where I draw the line that you're not going to whoop my ass. And I told her she had a bad week. >> So when you were returning lock box, that's what happened. >> I had completed the return. She was like, "Oh my god." >> She did this to my receipt. That's when I said, "Why are you not giving command?" Could she have misconruded the tossing the lock box like, "Hey, here we go." Cuz you were you were waiting there 15 minutes. I'd be, you know, >> I came up and I apologized to the lady that was standing in front of me. I said, "I'd like to return this and set the locks down." The lady that was standing on this side, they can tell you I was standing right there. >> So if it like struck her anyway, it was she never was. I'm just asking. >> She her hands weren't even there. I put the locks on the table. >> So it wasn't like an intentional like I'm going to throw this at you type of thing. No. Okay.

Am I being detained? >> Yeah, you are. >> What am I being detained for? >> We're investigating. >> Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to >> You have an ID on you? >> I do. >> Okay. Can I see it? Once we tell me what the [ __ ] was going on. >> Well, you're being detained for the investigation of if there was a battery that occurred. We're, like I said, we're going to figure it out. So, >> go ahead. Once we figure it out, then I'll give you my ID once you tell me that I'm being arrested for a battery. >> You're being detained. You need to identify. >> Give me a sergeant. I don't I'm not When am I being detained? I've done >> That's fine.

Returning locks is a crime. >> No, she stated that you threw the lock at >> Well, she definitely Well, tell me this. If I threw a lock at you, if I threw a lock at you, would you not have gotten your manager instantly then? Would that not I'm just asking you common sense.
