Well, I got to take my baby inside. Yeah, fine. Who else lives here? Oh, that won't matter. Okay. Well, I just don't want you going inside. Yeah, I'm going inside. I'm putting my baby to bed. Okay. Is it okay if I walk inside with you then? No, it's not. Okay. Well, I can't let you just walk in cuz I don't know what's in the house.

No, you're not. And you're not welcome in my house. I don't Then I didn't ask you for that. Then you can bring her inside, but I don't want you going inside. Okay. Because I don't know what's in the house. I have no guns or nothing like that. Don't worry. I have no dogs, no nothing. I totally get that. But I can't. You're making a big scene in front of my daughter. You are making a big scene, ma'am. You are. She She can walk in, but I don't want to walk. You can't just walk in. So, I'm going to walk in. No, you're not walking out. Bull and you need to walk out. Wait. Wait. I don't want to my husband. I don't want to do this in front of your daughter. Okay. You don't You are going to be under arrest. If she grabs me, we're going to have a problem. Well, she asked you to step out. Can I give him my stuff? Okay, then shut the up and let me do it. I don't believe they were currently around. Y'all are ridiculous. You can't go in nobody's house unless they ask me. Let me call. I'll call. I don't I don't I should tell him to give me my phone if you don't mind. That's fine. I just I just don't know. I want I don't want you in the house cuz I don't know what's in the house. That's it. I'm telling you I don't have no guns. I'm a felon. I can't have guns. Okay. Well, I don't know that. Well Well, I'm telling you. She's on the on the phone with the other officer who asked us to come out. God, y'all act like I done robbed the mother back for somebody. Kill the president or something. So, ma'am, I don't just want you walking in the house. Okay. Did I walk in? I know. I asked him to give me my purse. Damn. I know. I know. But before you wanted to walk in. Yeah, cuz it's my house. I got to put my daughter to sleep. I I totally get that. That's why I asked if someone else was here so they can do it because I don't feel comfortable you going in the house after I told you that. You know, the reason why we're here, usually that stuff doesn't end well for us. Well, I'm sorry. back home. But I ain't got nothing to get y'all until you tell me that I can't go in my own damn house. That's a problem. All right. Now, what are you going to do if I got to go to the bathroom? It's the car on our call. Okay, ma'am. So, again, unless you want us to follow follow you inside your home, we're going to have to wait out here until we see further information from Addison PD. How can you guys just hold somebody hostage outside their yard? Is that is that is that legal if we have to detain you? Yes, it is. At this point, they asked us to detain you. Until they can figure out what they want us to do at that point. So, until we make further contact with them, you are not free to go anywhere. I don't understand why I'm not free to go anywhere cuz I was in America and I ain't tell you're the suspect of a crime. Huh? You're the suspect of a crime right now. I ain't nobody. I never said you did. Let's just wait until the guy gives us a call and see what he wants us to do. Supposed to give us a call any minute now. You all tell me why I'm being detained. Because you were the suspect of a retail theft. Okay. And I already explained it to her. What happened? I had my daughter and I had a whole bunch of stuff. I put the bin right here. I didn't walk out of the store with anything except my [ __ ] pad cuz I told her I got some candy, my cigarettes, my pad, and I got another pad here cuz I got a lie. So, like I said, we're not the ones investigating this. So, and more candy. He needs to talk to you. But in the meantime, we need your name. Do you have an ID on you? I'm not giving about any of my information. Y'all came to my house. You should know what my name is. They just got your plate and that was it. Ma'am, why are you unwilling to give us your name? I haven't done anything. They want to have to give you my name. You guys already have because that's why you're detained, right? If we weren't giving your description, the vehicle that you were driving, my partner saw you come out of the walked out the damn store. So again, why don't you want to cooperate with us? And then when I walked out, I put my stuff down and she said, "I'm going to call the cops." I said, "Call the cops." Why don't you want to cooperate with us and give us your name? Because I don't want to. That's that's why. So, they gave us a type three message, which means they have enough probable cause to think that you committed a crime. All right. So, you have to give us your name eventually. If not us, the other agency. Well, we'll see what the other agency has to say. Okay. Well, we're waiting on that. All right. them again. We're going to have to ID you. So, either you'll provide your ID or give me your name and information. Well, right now you're stopping yourself.
