Officers park a few blocks away from the 7-Eleven entrance to meet with the store owner after she notices one of her employees showcasing an alarming pattern during his usual 4:00 a.m. work shift. >> So, what's going on? >> Okay.

We were watching the thing live, and he did steal the headphones and drinks and stuff then, but he didn't do the trunk dump. Um and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday he doesn't work.

And he just knows that consequences will arise from that, and whatever the situation is, we'll deal with it. >> After reviewing the store cameras and confirming the man is indeed taking countless items and then depositing them into his personal truck, they head to the front door to confront the employee thief who currently has the entire store to himself. >> I'll go over there with him.

I thought it was my favorite line. It's funny that everybody out here on the street has no issues with me. It's the people we work with that don't like me because everybody else has got no issues. Ask her out. >> Yeah. >> Even Donald, I'll bet you next time I see Donald, he's my best friend again. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah.

Oh, I was just asking, man, how bad is this looking for me? >> Yeah. >> I won't have to go before a judge to get a bond. I have no shame, man. Y'all can just say it. Y'all can just say it. >> As a result of his actions, the 33-year-old man was immediately terminated from his employment, effective immediately, and formally trespassed from the location for a period of 1 calendar year. He managed to obtain the crate of different stolen items, calculating to be a total of $101.24, including Gatorade, aloe vera drinks, Red Bulls, and other various drinks. He was given two charges under Florida Statute 812.014, petty theft property valued at $100 through $750. This is a first-degree misdemeanor where you're simply taking or using someone else's property without their permission with the intent to keep or to deprive it from the owner. His second charge under Florida Statute 812.02 was resisting an officer or obstructing an officer without violence. When you're knowingly resisting, obstructing, or opposing a law enforcement officer who is legally carrying out their official duties without using violence. As he mentioned [music] during this time, he was on probation, and as a result, he violated his probation. On both charges, petty theft and resisting an officer without violence, the man was convicted guilty. And if you're wondering if the 33-year-old man received any probation or jail time, well, as a result, he was sentenced to 59 days inside county jail. He also paid a bit over $400 in court costs and fines, and was ordered to pay the money back or restitution to 7-Eleven. I did look into other charges on him, but surprisingly, I wasn't able to locate any other charges, even considering that the store owners had mentioned that he's done this previously multiple times that week. [music] So, I'm not too sure what's going on there, but let me know your honest thoughts down below in the comment section. Stay safe out there, and I'll see you in the next video. >> All right. >> Tell me what I'm being arrested for. >> Relax. >> Just please, please, man. >> We'll explain in a second. >> Hey. >> We're explaining in a second. >> please, please, please. >> We're explaining in a >> No, just listen to me, please. >> We're explaining in a >> I please talk?
