What's your sister's name? >> April. >> April. Yep. 1994. >> The reason I know that is because again, you've been shoplifterss, repeat shoplifterss. This is not the only time they recognize you and they've had incidents with you. Now, I want to ask you about another incident. I you probably saw yourself on TV or something. March 19, a few months ago at the Dollar General, you're wearing exactly the same glasses. You're wearing exactly the COVID mask coverings or whatever. Nowadays, people use it only to cover their faces, to cover their criminal activity. What happened? You got shoplifted from that Dollar General. The the I spoke to the manager. I saw a video. >> Um I don't even remember. >> You don't remember? Cuz the employees definitely remember what you did >> and what you told them. >> What did I say? >> Okay. You don't remember pulling a gun on on them? >> No. >> Okay. Yeah. You're not going to remember. Or was that your sister? Cuz you guys getting the same charge. You're going to get charged with the same crime even though she didn't pull the gun. She's getting charged with the same crime. Unless she's the one that did it and you didn't. >> I don't I don't think we pulled a gun on anybody ever. I don't I remember we got she my sister did take some chips. >> Yeah. And actually that's that's exactly what they told me. >> Yeah. And then she uh yelled at the lady behind the counter. She went behind the counter and uh some guy came out running after us and calling us saying he's going to us up. And >> so you didn't tell me that and that's why I want to document your side of the story. You know what I'm saying? So she takes chips behind the counter. >> Yeah. cuz we went >> the guy comes out which is the employee. >> Yeah. We tried to pay for him and then she grabbed them from us and she was like, "Nope, you guys got to get out of here." >> Mhm. >> And then uh yeah, so we left and uh the guy came out running after us saying he's going to us up. We're dumb broke and but no gun was pulled because we don't have fire. >> Okay. Did you tell him this is not worth your life? >> No. >> Okay. No, but I said that he I said he's a cuz why is he yelling at some girls? >> Something happened that he just backed up now. Why is that? >> Cuz I told him that I would have my boyfriend up and ships. I told him it was ships. Like it's just stupid. And he was like, "You're right. You're right." Like, >> okay, again, I already knew your name, but you know, we these guys know who you are. Maybe not by name, but they they you definitely remember you doing this stuff. And that's exactly why they call us. And once we come out here and we see you, we're like, "Oh, I know where this person I've seen this person before. You and your sister." >> Okay. First of all, I just want to apologize. >> Apologize for this for doing this. >> Okay. And that's what I I was going to say. Anywhere you go is what? There's cameras, right? >> Yeah. >> Anywhere. >> Yeah. >> Anywhere you go, there's cameras. >> All right. So when they not only that you a lot of people shoplift every day then they get away with it. They come back and like hey we know this person we know these girls. Hey police these girls are here again and they're repeat shoplifters. >> Right. >> Okay. So and now here we are. Can you tell me what happened in there? >> Uh okay. So we went in. Our intentions were to go in and get some Pampers for her kids and um some other stuff. And I wanted to pay for it. I can't afford it. I mean, I thought my little check was gonna come in sooner. It didn't. And so, we decided to put it in their uh stroller. >> So, couldn't afford it. Decided just put it in the stroller. >> Yeah. I mean, like I was telling Mr. Garcia, I hear that I mean, we've tried asking for help and resources and nobody wants to help us. >> Yeah. Well, you know, to that uh everybody's had hard times. I've had them, but and I just don't see the the justification of doing not only that, but over and over. >> I know. I I agree. I know it's pathetic and it's it's stupid and I definitely will be the last time we'll ever do this stupid again. >> Here's the thing that >> all the other stores once we put your name out there, your photo out there, they're like, "Yeah, she hit us over here. Yeah, she hit us over here." Uh you know, the they're not new. This is 2 years old. the the shoplifting statues. >> Once you reach a certain amount, that's organized retail crime. That's a secondderee felony. >> Wow. >> If you still have misdemeanor in Farmington, misdemeanor in Las Cruises, we can combine those into a felony >> because it's New Mexico. Correct. >> So again, there's >> video everywhere. Right. >> Right. >> Now, here's a question. >> Cuz this is not your first time, right? >> I agree. >> A few months ago, March 19, Dollar General, what happened that day? Oh, see that was a whole different situation right there. We went we went to pay for >> That's a whole different serious crime that's being investigated, >> right? And she uh she acted crazy. She didn't want to let me pay for the chips. I put money down and she took my money but didn't let me keep my chips. So, I went to grab my chips. >> Did you put down money? >> Yeah. >> You see that information I didn't have. So, that's why I'm trying to get the >> Oh, yeah. Cuz I went there to buy all those chips cuz those are my favorite trips. And you mean we didn't go in there. We didn't try to steal anything and we didn't go in there. You didn't conceal anything inside your purse. >> No, I didn't. I didn't conceal anything inside my purse. I swear on my kids. I did not. >> Videos. >> Videos. I know. I promise you. >> There's videos. So, when you say that, it's >> Yeah. No, I bought I grabbed all the chips and I took them to the counter. >> Did your sister conceal it inside the purse? Who was it? >> Cuz it the weapon was my sister. >> The weapon? >> Yeah. >> And that's Well, I was starting from forward backwards, right? >> So, once once you guys go outside, what happened? So, we go out there and the guy comes out. He's like, "You're FMBS and you guys are worthless." >> See, I spoke to him and he didn't he didn't tell me he spoke to you that way. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm like, I hope there's audio because you guys get pulled that and listen to it cuz he definitely did say that. >> He said, "You guys are FNBs. You guys are worthless." And uh so my sister's like, "You like, >> yeah." So, I was like, "Yeah." So, don't talk to me. I'm like, "She took my money, so I took my chips." >> She wants to keep my money. I'm going to keep my chips. I was like, "Point blank period." I honestly didn't know she was going to pull out her weapon. I didn't. >> Okay. Well, a gun being pulled when uh during a shoplifting, that's aggravated shoplifting. That's thirdderee felony. >> He took my money or she took my money, not him. She did. >> He came from the back cuz he just heard the commotion. >> Even I honestly I didn't know she was going to pull the weapon. I didn't know. >> Okay. >> Oh, go my kids. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> I didn't pull out the gun. >> Okay. Well, if you're if it wasn't you, then who was it? >> It was my sister. >> Oh my god, I'm freaking I can't breathe. >> Relax.
