So you have the right to You've been arrested before, right? >> Yeah. >> So you know how it works. >> Everything I say can and will be held against me in a court of law. >> Yeah, I pretty much got to read it before I can talk to you. >> Yes, sir. >> Uh you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. And you can decide at any time to execute these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand what I've read? >> Yes. >> Okay. What the heck happened? Start from the top. Let's walk back here. >> Um, I'd just rather just not speak at all. >> About the pursuit or about the stealing from Walmart? >> All of it. >> I don't rather Here's what I'm trying to do. I already know pretty much what happened. I just want to hear your side of it because if I'm missing something, then that'd be important to know. Because for instance, he's saying you grabbed the charger and left Walmart. And I'm sure the video footage is probably going to say show that you had the charger and you walked out of Walmart. But I'm trying to give you the opportunity to explain your perspective, right? It's not as simple as you're a heartless, you know, thief who hates Walmart corporations and you go steal from them cuz why not? I'm assuming you probably have a dead battery somewhere and you're trying to jump Maybe it's this car, I don't know. You're trying to jump something so you needed a charger. Am I right? Is there anything you want to talk to me about at all? >> Um, maybe seeing a nurse or something. >> We have people We have a medic coming. I understand. We have a medic coming. Okay? There's nothing you want to talk to me about. You don't want to refute the claim that he's saying those drugs are yours. They're yours? Okay. Well, I'll have you have a seat back in your car in the in the patrol vehicle. Oh, never mind. Yeah. Can you bring them over here? Actually, she ain't got no socks on and she already stepped in one big thorn. Can one of you wait with her, please, so I can finish it? It's going to take all night to feel it. >> [snorts] >> After both suspects were secured, deputies searched the abandoned van and recovered [music] the stolen Walmart merchandise. Investigators also discovered suspected narcotics, [music] drug paraphernalia, and a rifle inside the vehicle, all of which were documented as evidence. >> So, she's going to go to jail? >> Yeah. >> I'll be real pissed if we get there and she's like, "By the way, Miss Nurse, I have heart failure." >> I had I had her checked out anyways. We were going to transport her anyways. If if her vitals were solid there, um we can transport I consider her a flight risk. We don't want to take her anywhere. She had done run down in those trees over there. So, she's going to stay handcuffed and um but she wants to go to jail, then we can get her checked out also by her and our nurse there since her vitals checked out good with y'all. >> Are you manager? >> Sometimes. >> Are you manager today? Um did Jose tell you about anything happen before he guys closed? >> No. >> Someone stole this nice battery pack you guys and we got that, so >> I appreciate it, sir. >> They're under arrest, so they should get a call of what they want to do. >> Do you need a China manager for this? >> Um I'll tell what to say to you guys. >> Okay. >> I don't think so, but I think I'll take this guy. >> Glenn! I need your assistance, please. >> What started as the theft [music] of inexpensive merchandise escalated into a vehicle pursuit, a crash, two separate foot chases, and a coordinated search involving patrol deputies, K9 teams, and an aviation unit. By the end of the night, both suspects were in custody and facing multiple criminal charges related to the theft, the pursuit, and resisting law enforcement.
