Final charges resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, retail theft, and assault on a correction officer. These charges carry very serious consequences. Resisting arrest and disorderly conduct could lead to fines, probation or short jail time. Retail theft may result in higher penalties depending on the value stolen, ranging from probation to felony charges. Assaulting a correction officer is often a felony and can mean several years in prison, making the overall outcome potentially severe. Stealing and threatening others only escalates the situation and piles on more charges. Respecting the law and cooperating with officers can prevent a bad day from becoming much worse.

So, I don't know if I supposed to tell them tell you their name. >> I'm not trying to be like >> Yeah. The officer quickly realized these suspects weren't going to be as cooperative as he'd hoped. What the suspects didn't seem to realize, however, was that the cops already knew about their shoplifting. >> What was the reason I got? >> The tag is fake. >> I'm sure you know. >> I don't. I just asked for paper tag and they gave it to me. >> Who? >> The person who I got it from. >> Okay.

It's like that for real. >> That's sad. Once the driver was seated on the curb, her sassy attitude quickly came out.

I rebuke that in the name of Jesus. They going to make me do my time till October. I already know. >> No, they show them wrong. >> Get my lashes, girl. I need them when I get out. >> I'm going to put them on right now. >> Missing one >> cuz I don't know. I feel bad for y'all, but at this point it's not right. Give me something. I can just do what I'm told to do. >> It's always refreshing to see suspects face the consequences with a smile. Once the girls finished preparing for their mug shots, they were taken to jail. They were later identified as Brianna Tombs and Natalyia Rock, both charged with felony grand theft. Stealing and threatening others only escalates the situation and piles on more charges.

I know you're ready to pay for it now, but you didn't want to pay for it then. So, I need you to give me your identification, please. >> I'm really sorry. >> Please. >> You guys are going to need a receipt. How long you been? >> I mean, there's a lot of stuff. She's just scanning it all into your receipt. >> But she one second. He promised me that you can leave it scanned. >> It's simply none of my business. That has nothing to do with our job. >> So, what do you want me to do? >> Passport, please. Thank you. >> So, what are all those other things that you were just swiping by? >> No, that's all Indian documents. You can I can have I don't have my I can show you my license here. >> Your license. >> Okay. So, who's what's who's Jamisha? >> Me. And this is my >> So, who's so who's Anya? >> This is my name also. But this is my Jamisha. You can see my picture. >> Okay. This is B. >> Okay. So, this is So, this is not your first name? >> No. >> Okay. >> Despite producing an ID, she avoids direct answers, continues bargaining, and pleads multiple times to just pay. Officers and security confirm the stolen goods total $1,313 before tax. Well over the $300 felony threshold. >> I don't know what I don't know why you keep saying that over and over again. I told you many times we are past that. What do you want me to do? >> I I told you what I would like you to do. Do you guys need video tonight? >> I would love to have video. >> I'll start. >> Oh my god, Anna, it's the first time I've sat down in 4 hours. >> Yeah. >> How are you not tired? >> No. >> You've been walking around for 7 hours. >> I'm not even >> Oh my gosh. >> I'm ready to pay for the merchandise and leave the store. >> No. I don't know why you keep repeating that. I told you no. So then what do you want me to do? >> I told you you're going to be coming back to the police station with us. >> Please don't do that. >> That's my job. So >> I'm really sorry. >> It's I I understand that you're sorry. >> What do I go to the police station and do? >> Ma'am, you're going to be criminally charged. >> I'm really sorry. >> Okay. >> I don't mind paying for the merchandise. >> Okay. I'm I'm done talking to you because you just keep repeating the same things over and over again. And I keep telling you that that's not an option. We can't do that. So, I'm not going to be acknowledging that anymore because I've already determined we're not doing that. >> You're repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different response is not going to happen. >> One second. He promised me. >> You've already said that. We've already gone over that and it does not matter to me what he said. You still committed a crime regardless of what he said. >> Let me just pay for the merchandise now. Please, >> it's way too late to pay for it. >> What? What is the harm? >> You had many registers to choose from. It's too late. I don't mind paying the for the merchandise and I'm I'm not going to come back again. >> We know, but >> let me just pay for the merchandise and finish it. I need to take these goods for everyone at home. >> And you have her walking past the last point. >> The woman becomes increasingly distressed, claiming it was all a misunderstanding that she was on a call and the bags were too heavy for her to flee. She repeats over a dozen times that she wants to pay, but officers remain calm and consistent. It's too late. Before I ask any more questions, okay, >> I will explain this to you. >> I brought her back. >> Yep. >> A few times she came up and stopped right here. I think she was seeing if it would beep or not. >> I don't know. >> And then she went back back in, grabbed more stuff, came back, stood out here, went back. >> And then the last time she went all the way around, came back behind did one of these things. >> When you do that, >> did it surprise? No, she didn't have anything that would have. >> Okay, so >> not everything from you. >> They don't want any of that. They want you here. That's why we're talking and we're not going to take any money from them. We're not going to take any money from you. Okay. We have paperwork that we got to do here. And then we have paperwork that we have to do back at the station. >> Take me to the station. Yeah, please. >> How will I go back? >> You've been here for a long time. >> They were going to pick me up somewhere from Target. >> Okay. We we can call somebody once you get back there. Okay. Once we get back there, it's a lot of paperwork. All right. Sometimes it's dependent. You know, if if we do our paperwork, sometimes you can leave. Okay. Once our paperwork is done, then you leave. Then you can call somebody to pick you up from the station, which is not >> I don't want anybody to pick me up from the station. I'm >> then you can call an Uber. Then you can call an Uber and have someone else pick you up. If you don't want anyone else picking you up from the station, then you have to call an Uber somebody because, you know, you got to get out of our custody somehow. So, you're not going to have to go anywhere tonight. You'll be able to go home, but you have you can go somewhere wherever you want to go, but somebody else is going to have to come pick you up. Did you drive here? >> No. >> How'd you get here? >> They dropped me. >> Okay. Well, then they can then they can help you figure it out or you can call an Uber or whatever. >> Can't the paperwork be done here only? >> H do I need to go to the station? >> This amount. I don't mind paying. It's not a Let me finish. >> You're starting to frustrate me. >> We've told you a bunch of times that is not an option. So, please stop saying that. >> Can we just please? >> Uh, that was her phone number. >> Huh? >> How do we go to the station >> with us? >> You'll you'll ride in the car with us >> and then be there for how long >> until until we get the paperwork done. Sometimes it's maybe an hour. >> Put it right here. >> Why? >> Take the bag off and put it right there. I told you what's going to happen. Stand up. >> Nothing on you. >> I think so. >> Nothing on you. No guns, no knives, nothing like that. Oh, nothing. >> Just face me. >> Don't move. Just stay where you're at. >> She has a personal luggage, too. >> Yeah, it's an empty bag. >> Okay. >> So, she brought something into the store. >> It's an empty luggage. >> Trans, please. >> Hey, please. Please don't. >> Don't resist. It's not going to go well for you. Stop. >> Why? >> Just stop. We explained it to you. Okay. When you take things without permission, that's a crime. But what do I what do I do now? For how long is it going to be? >> Hang on. >> Huh? >> Okay, just hang on. Okay, it's probably going to be one maybe 2 hours. Okay, it depends on how quick the paper process works. >> Please, I'm requesting you. >> See from 511. >> But my bag your bag will come with your bag. >> What was your traffic? >> 11:01. >> Don't lock you so they don't tighten up on you. What do I tell the family people? >> Is he coming from 203 119 11 >> going to come with us? >> Uh, do you have the trespass or no? >> I have it all. >> What do I tell the family? >> I don't I don't know what to tell you. >> From here. >> Yeah. Do not resist. You're going to catch an extra charge. Don't do that. Just keep walking. >> What charges? >> 6041. >> Don't mind. That's what I said. The best thing was to pay and finish it. >> The best thing to do would be not to steal in the first place. That would be the best thing to do. >> Of course, if I could have gone run away, it was a different thing. The minute the guy came back, I turned. He was like, "Target, Target, security." I said, "What happened?" He's like, "You have to you've not paid." I said, "I don't mind paying for the items." >> But why'd you walk through the doors then? >> Because I was on call with them. They said you >> you're going to walk past the last point of all the cash registers with the with the security things. >> No, if the security if it if the security bars were there. Okay. I I know that if I pass that, it's going to beep. >> It only beeps if you have certain items. >> Yeah. I don't And after that the second door was there also. I didn't pass. Tell me with this heavy luggage I could have taken the things and put it in my bag also. The bane bag. You p you passed all of the points of >> not all of the points the first half point. >> No, no, you passed all of the cash registers. The >> cash registers were different and this is this side was there. >> So I'm trying to explain to I'm trying to explain something to you. So what we call the last point or the last point of final sale, right? If you pass if you take the cart full of the stuff, okay, and which which is you had you had $1,300 worth of stuff and you push the cart past all of the po all of the places that you could have paid for it >> and then you start to leave. >> We have a problem. >> I know. I know. I understand. I don't mind paying for it right now. I'm going to have to do the procedure now. Get target stuff again online and do ask somebody to do it. It was the simplest thing for him to tell me that next time don't come to the store and tell him that listen pay for this and then >> she searched detained and reminded not to resist. Police once again explained retail theft, stressing that intent doesn't erase action. Despite her embarrassment and lastminute regrets, she is officially charged with felony retail theft for exceeding Illinois's $300 threshold. Always pay before leaving the store, crossing the exit without doing so is a crime. pleading after the fact won't erase the consequences of a felony theft. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> On February 9th, 2024, officers were dispatched to a grocery store following reports that a known shoplifter who had been trespassed multiple times had returned to the premises. This is footage of the events that followed. >> I don't start soda. >> No, you're trespassed. They don't want you here. You're out there solicitating, asking for money. >> No, I was coming to buy a soda. >> Come on, Heather. >> I swear. >> Come on, let's go. >> I swear. Like, I can't. >> Heather is spotted inside a store from which she had previously been trespassed. When police confront her, she insists she only came for a soda and claims she's done nothing wrong. >> Heather, there's We're going to step outside. Come on, Heather. Don't start. Heather, please. Heather, let's go outside. >> Can you get your bus? >> You want do you you have the trespass card? >> Get away from me. >> When do you want to press charges? >> Get away from me. >> Okay. >> Get away from me. >> Let's go outside, Heather. >> Get away from me, >> Heather. >> No. Get away from me. >> Please go outside. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. No, >> Heather. You're trespassing. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Yes, you are. You're trespassing. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> This is a business. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> This is a business and they can refuse service and trespass anyone they want. >> Yeah. And they want to press charges. So, >> no, I'm just leaving. >> No, you're not free to go. >> Yes, I am. They just said >> you're not free to go. We're going to walk outside, but you're not free to go, Heather. >> Yes, I am. Guys, just leave me alone. I'm not. Get away from me. No, you're going to be detained. >> I'm going to go home. >> Well, you're going to get charged. >> Well, then write me a ticket. What does that mean? No, >> you're going to get charged. No. >> So, we're going to have >> Despite multiple warnings, Heather becomes increasingly agitated and refuses to leave. When officers attempt to detain her, she resists arrest and yells repeatedly, "I'm not doing anything wrong." It takes several officers to safely handcuff her inside the store. >> I got to go. >> We're going to talk. >> I'm going to go. I'm going to leave. I'm going to go home. >> No, Heather. >> No, I'm going to leave. >> Okay, Heather. No, I'm going to leave. >> Okay, Heather, >> I'm going to leave. >> Sit down. >> No, I'm not doing anything. Mom, >> sit down. >> I'm going to leave. >> Heather, I don't want to. No, >> excuse my 92. Heather, >> Heather, come on, Heather. >> Get away from me, >> Heather. >> Get away from me. >> Get down, Heather. >> No. >> Heather, >> stop. >> Heather, >> stop down. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, get down. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, >> stop. Can you just hold her? >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. Yeah, we're going to get to you now. >> Heather, >> I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not doing anything wrong. >> We're inside the cal. >> What aisle eye is this? >> I'm just calm >> in aisle 13. Just calm down. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, >> no. >> Heather, >> no. >> Heather, there's no need for this. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, there's no need for this. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> No. Get down, Heather. >> Ow. >> Get down, Heather. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. Heather, >> no. >> Heather, come on. >> No. >> I don't want to get in a fight with you, Heather. >> No. >> Come on. >> I'm not doing anything, bro. >> Heather. >> I'm not doing anything, bro. >> Just get her leg so she doesn't come back up. >> I'm not doing anything, bro. Heather, please. >> No. >> Turn around, please. >> No, I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Stand up and go talk to you. >> No. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. Heather, >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Sit here. >> What do you want me to do? >> Well, the other unit should be pulling up. >> Just hold her face so she doesn't get up. >> Even after being subdued, Heather continues to protest. A citizen even stepped in to help officers after she tried to run. Police explained that only minimal force was used. Get her feet. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Get her feet. >> I got we'll start doing anything wrong. >> We'll turn it to the left. >> No. >> To the left. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, turn. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> No. >> Start turning. >> No. >> Heather, start turning. >> No. >> Heather, come on. >> No, I am not doing anything wrong. >> Heather, come on. >> No. >> There you go, Heather. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> No. Yeah, I got her. There you go. I'm not doing anything wrong. Okay. All right. Ready? Let's sit you up. >> What? >> We're going to sit you up. Okay. Stand up. One, two, three. Okay. You have the wrap. >> Yeah. So, all right. There you go, crew. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. >> You know, you're not supposed to be here. >> I did not know that. >> Yes, you do. >> No, I do not. I did not know that. >> Okay. >> What? >> We're going to sit in the unit is what we're going to go. >> Why? I did not do anything wrong. >> Just sit down. Okay, have a seat. >> Just sit down like right there. >> Sit inside. >> Sit. I did not do anything wrong. >> Just put your feet inside. Heather, >> you said just to sit. >> Put your feet inside. >> You said just to sit. >> Crew, please. >> I What? >> I've always been respectful to you. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. What do I do? >> You've been trespassed from here. I asked you. Let's just go outside to talk so I can do what I had to do. >> Then let's do that. That's what we did. >> No, you ran. >> This is what we came outside. Put your feet inside about that right now. Okay. Can Could you sit in right one second? Okay. I'll talk to you in a second. Okay. >> Thank you. >> I don't even know what at this point. >> Officers confirm Heather had already been officially trespassed from the store and that's the basis for her arrest. Heather claims confusion saying she thought she was at a different store. >> Jogging. I was like cruise stop. So, we're jogging around the Albertson's. people were seeing her run. So like they kind of like started they bumped her. The citizen bumped her. From there I was able to just grab her >> and then the guy from the mates helped me put her on the floor and we're on the floor from there. I was just like okay guys like that's when you came and I was just like >> okay >> on top of her but it wasn't like a >> I got >> Yeah. I started like just >> we use a wrist lock to get her. I'm gonna see if she's injured. If she's claiming injury, then I'll have to do a use of force no matter what. >> Well, first I have a quick question. Are you hurting in any way? Does anything hurt? >> No. >> Does anything bother you? >> No. >> No. >> No. >> Okay. Do you want to go through? I mean, she's going to play a minute. It wasn't really like I didn't hit her. I didn't punch her or nothing. Just on top until when he arrived, we were just maintaining control on top. All right. Hey, Miss. So, the reason why you got placed in handcuffs today is because um I don't know you've been trespassed from here. Okay. Um store manager um she provided me a trespass card with your information and you have been advised that you've been trespassed from here. Okay. So, that's why that's I'm just I want you to know that's why you're in clubs today. Okay. That's that's why we're here right now. Okay. >> What's up? What happened? >> I don't know how, but this morning I got all turned around. >> One of those morning. >> Whenever you said you're here and I was like, I think you went to the wrong L. >> Yeah. As soon as I realized, I'm like, a >> I'm going to turn you over to this gentleman. Okay, Heather, >> get the paperwork. >> Yeah, got it. >> So, I'm going to sign it now. >> Come on. Step up. >> You sign it here in a second. Okay. >> Okay. I'm ready to sign it. >> You got anything in your pocket, sir? >> No. >> No. No. >> All right. Got to make sure. >> Sure. >> All right. That's cool. You're going to sit with that gentleman. Okay. >> Have money. Okay. We're going to need How much cash do you got there, Heather? You got anything? Okay. Have a seat there. I'll get >> Heather is found with $110 cents in her possession, which is documented along with her arrest paperwork. Officers remain professional, calmly completing the booking process and expressing hope that she doesn't make the same mistake again. Repeatedly returning to places where you've been banned only leads to legal consequences, no matter your excuse. Refusing to cooperate with law enforcement escalates situations quickly and never ends well. >> So the lady comes in the bathroom. I'm not done. I'm not even done shopping. Who out? >> On October 27th, 2023 in Ohio, police were dispatched to a local gas station after receiving a report that a woman had been caught shoplifting and then fled the scene on foot. It didn't take long while patrolling the area. Officers quickly spotted a woman matching the suspect's description. >> Stop. Cuz you took the food from the store. >> I just took some crackers. >> Yeah, I know. You can't do that. >> Huh? >> You can't do that. >> Okay, man. Hold on. Hold on. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No. >> She touched my man. >> Stop. >> Stop. You breaking my hand. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Stop. You don't have You ain't even set my right tight, [ __ ] Don't do it. On the ground the ground. >> Okay. Okay. >> Stay on the ground. Get on your stomach. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> Get on your stomach now. >> Pull over. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> I want to do it again. >> Please. Please. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Please. >> Turn on your stomach. >> Okay. >> Turn on your stomach. >> Okay. Sir. Sir. Sir. Please. I have lupus and I have a pacemaker. >> Turn over. >> I have a pacemaker. >> Turn over now. Okay. >> On your stomach. >> Okay. >> On your stomach. Don't get up. >> I'm going to run. >> The woman claimed that a female staff member at the gas station had touched her inappropriately. But even if that were true, it didn't give her the right to steal. Regardless of the circumstances, she was going to have a lot of explaining to do. >> Me. >> Well, it's not connected to you anymore. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. That's >> all right. Stand up. We can't. You shouldn't have pulled away and pushed off of me and ran from me. >> You scared me. >> I scared you. >> Okay. >> Okay. Listen, >> the lady I have a full >> You can use 862 uh forest court, >> sir. >> Walk down here. >> Ow. It's still something on me. >> Yeah, I know there is. It's called a probe. >> Walk. All I would get is food, sir. Can I? >> Okay. You can't steal. >> I wasn't stealing until >> Did you pay for it? >> She touched my She went in the bathroom. I was in the bathroom. Sir, listen. >> Have a seat. >> The officer made it clear that her story didn't justify the theft and that running from him only made things worse. If she had truly been assaulted, he explained she should have been eager to report it, not flee the scene. She did, however, admit that she was simply hungry. >> You're a grown adult. I took the chance cuz I wanted to eat. >> Okay. You have your ID in here? >> No. >> Sir, >> you don't have your ID? >> No, sir. >> Then what's your name? >> What's your name? >> Tyler. >> Huh? >> Tyler. Ow. [Music] My finger. What's your SO? >> I don't have my SO. My mom still carries it. >> I don't carry that stuff, man. >> Okay. How old are you? >> I'm 25. >> You're 25? You want to know your own social security number? >> No, sir. I have dementia. >> Okay. >> Spell your first name. >> Although the woman claimed her first name was Tyler, she couldn't e wouldn't provide a last name during questioning. As more officers arrived on the scene, she tried every excuse in the book to dodge the charges, citing everything from inappropriate touching and having a pacemaker to claiming she had lupus and even dementia. >> Come on. Get that. Get that. This ain't helping. >> I know it's not helping. You should help us up by just stopping. >> So, the lady comes in the bathroom. I'm not done. I'm not even done shopping. whole out pants on ground. She comes in there, my bag is in between my legs. She goes in between my legs and start grabbing the stuff. I said, "Lady, I'm not even done shopping. >> Food and half of the not even hers. All I got was crackers and cookies from that." And went in there and she had the right to walk in the bathroom with my girls and then Oh my god. >> You had goo between your legs? I had my bag because I was using the bathroom in the gas station. She comes in there and grabs me my What happened after that? >> I walked out cuz I'm I'm pissed. >> Truth or not, you've got to give her credit. She's one heck of a storyteller. When the officers searched her bag, it was packed not only with food, but also filled with needles. The suspect claimed they were for various medications, but given everything else, her explanation was met with serious skepticism. >> Cuz I like to get there fast, you know. >> Oh, come on. That's not that big of a deal. I'm not >> a big deal because this could have been summon to do all this extra stuff. You're being way too extra. >> I'm It could be a summon, man. I don't want anybody Whoa. He looks like my cousin. You look just like my cousin Paul. >> Are you her cousin? >> He looks like mom. >> McCoy. >> So, okay. >> Wait a minute. I can tell you what food is hers and what food ain't hers. The donuts hers, the cookies, and the nut butters hers. Everything else belongs to me. >> Okay. Now, the lady comes in. She totally threw me off. I came to look food stamp card right there. Boom. The officer pressed the suspect once again to identify herself, but it was clear she was being deceptive. She even claimed she couldn't provide her social security number because she had supposedly forgotten it, blaming it on her alleged dementia. >> Oh, is that right? >> Yeah. Why? I didn't use her name. I don't know what the name is. >> Well, I don't know what name you are. >> Oh, wait. Fool card. Put that back. >> No. Uh-uh. >> That's for the fool. What are you talking about? >> Don't matter. It's not yours. >> I got permission to use that. >> Okay. Whose name's on here? >> I don't know. >> Oh, there you go. No, I got it from him. >> What is your name? Because we're not we're done playing this nonsense cuz I will send you to J do to the county. You will sit there and rot until you tell them your name. You understand me? We're not doing this. You can be in and out real quick >> if you just give us your name and your information. If you want to play games, I will send their there's Jane Doe and you will rot all weekend. I guarantee you will start feeling the itch when you are in there. >> I I don't want to go to jail. >> Okay, I know you don't want to go to jail. We're beyond that. You could not have gone to jail if you just would have stopped right there and let me put handcuffs on you. But you did not want to do that. All right. That's not how things are done. What is your name? >> This is where you talk. >> My name is Dar. >> There you go. >> What's your last name? >> What's your last name? >> Come on, man. I got >> Come on. Absolutely. >> Although she eventually gave officers a different first name, she still refused to provide her last name. After being escorted to the back of the squad car, she continued to deny that the needles were for illegal drug use, insisting they were for an old anxiety medication that had been stolen. With her story full of holes, the officers returned to the gas station to get the staff's side of what really happened. >> Her back. >> Yeah. >> You know what I'm saying? Like cuz I know, you know, and then when and then she had pain. Get out here, weirdo. And then she proceeded to shove me and I kind of went back, you know, and it took everything in me. I'm major here, so I can't like >> Yeah. >> You know, and I know they tell us not to confront them, but it's like >> I I get tired of it. >> I got I agree with you 100%. >> So, but I don't want her back in my store. >> Well, she's going to jail because she took off running for me and much other nonsense. But >> Okay. >> Either way, um the other officers I don't know. Can you guys put these back in the shelf or? >> Yeah, as long as she ain't got them open. The donuts, I can't, >> right? >> But with this stuff, I can. >> Before being loaded into the back of a police van for transport to jail, the woman made one last attempt to avoid arrest, insisting they couldn't take her in because they didn't have her name. But as the officer had pointed out earlier, if she had just cooperated from the start, she likely would have walked away with nothing more than a court summons. Step on that, please. I get to eat my food. They take everything from me. >> All right. Scoot up. >> All right. Just follow what I say. Okay. >> I didn't resist. They never even said right. >> Okay. [Music] I'll tell you that you have the right hand. >> No, you tell me that after y'all tased me. >> You don't have to say anything statements. You can stop talking. >> We're good right now. >> You don't have to say a word. >> All right. >> Get your screen. All right. >> You'll be all right. >> You're going right over there. You're going to step on the metal detector. The suspect was hit with multiple charges, including resisting arrest, misrepresenting her identity, obstructing official business, theft, and possession of drug paraphernalia. In the end, she was sentenced to 270 days in jail with 244 of those days suspended. Cooperation can go a long way. Refusing it only makes things worse. Lying to avoid consequences often leads to even bigger ones. What an unyielding shoplitter. The next Karen one will react much more violently.
