So that's kind of why I was confused because she's his dad is or her dad is right next to 18. >> Her dad's next to 18. >> So he's 16 and then the person I thought might have had the do that fit the description was in 18. >> Okay. When did what way did she come in from? >> So she came from the security footage. It seems like she was coming in from that direction >> of her. >> Where did she come from? The room up here. Oh, I didn't see her like come like this way, but um I can still review the footage because I I think she did come in through this way. >> How far does your cameras go down? Does it go like all the way down to the rooms? >> But we don't have any cameras that face directly out the ones. >> So, you wouldn't have a camera that shows like room 16 where she might have entered.

You said if I have no warrants, then I'll get a >> Yeah, it's going to be up to the resting officer, but but usually in these circumstances, um you'll likely get a citation for theft. So, you'll get a court date. Good. >> And then you'll be on your way with your dog and all that stuff. Yeah, I get that. So, we we'll we'll work with you on that. Okay. >> So, um right now, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in the court of law. Do you understand your rights? >> Do you want to talk to me about what's going on here? >> I already did. >> What's that? Sorry. >> Okay. >> I mean, I would like to ask you more questions. Are you willing to answer them or No. >> Oh, sure. >> Okay. So, we established that you were at Safeway. >> Yes. >> And your claim was that you got you got Starbucks.

What did you grab at the deli? >> Uh Jojo's. >> Jojo. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The the potato things. >> Yeah. >> So where did you drop it at exactly? >> By the by this corner.

Like and then she left. She disappeared. So I'm going to rush. >> Right. So again, just recap. >> Yes. >> Jojo's. >> Yes. >> You walked out from the deli. >> Passed the exit. >> Yes. >> The manager followed you. And then you're saying you dropped it at the corner before you crossed the street. >> Okay. All right. Cool. Sounds good. All right. Hang tight for me. Okay. Thank you. Yep.

I was just curious what what's up with those. >> I don't know. >> You remember taking those, too, or what? >> I don't honestly. All I was worried about was the fact that I dropped him at the corner.
