South side of the canal. >> You saw her? >> Yeah, just here. They just went in the water. >> On June 23rd, 2025, Cape Coral Police stopped a woman linked to two open retail theft investigations at Target and Walmart. Officers recognized her from prior contact. That recognition was the legal foundation. >> How are they going? >> Hey, how's it going? >> All right, what's going on? >> Need to talk to us. >> Okay. >> Yeah, can you tell me Can you go talk to this officer? >> Yeah.

Surveillance footage and prior personal knowledge cleared that threshold. The stop was constitutionally valid from the first moment of contact before any questioning. Officers delivered a complete Miranda advisement. Miranda versus Arizona, 1966, requires this before custodial interrogation. The subject waived her rights voluntarily. No Fifth Amendment violation occurred. >> Yeah, I already talked to them.

So, just give me a second. >> Okay. >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and have with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions without a lawyer present, you still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to a lawyer. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? >> Yes. >> Yes? Okay. With these rights in mind, do you want to tell me your side of story and let me ask you some questions or what? >> Why do you have my ex's ID? >> You tell me. >> All right. This is my car.

It wasn't my wallet in the No, I left my money, my cards, my debit cards and everything in the car. I left my wallet in the Walmart bag that was in my rabbit food in it.

When you go into a store and you forget that you have you got to get your car you don't just go walk out with all the merchandise. You don't get it. >> Well, no, that's why I said I the guest services for a minute. There was nobody there. Honestly, I was just pushing the cart. I was just going to push the cart right to the door so I could call out. Let me get my money. He was parked right there. Like he would have heard me. I didn't even get all the way out the door. I didn't even push anything out the door. He would have heard me from right at that that point. He's calling out to him. Like I wasn't trying to steal anything.

There was nobody there. So then I was going to go grab my money. I was going to pay for it all at guest services cuz I had it the >> Why? >> Because >> Why were you going to pay for it at guest services? >> Because I had some Target on credit thing. I always go to guest services. Always. I always pay for my stuff at guest services. >> Is this you? What happened on that day? >> What? I don't I don't I don't know. I don't know. I can't I don't even know what >> correct? I mean that's you. >> yeah, it looks like it, but I don't know what happened on that day. >> That's you. So wait, we're not we're not We're we're not >> It doesn't matter what store that was in. That's you. >> So what? >> I mean it's on video like I said, we're here for a reason. You you admitted that you were at just at Target. This is you in another store. >> I I don't I don't know. I don't know where the where the hell that wire is. I don't have >> This is at Walmart. >> have that shirt. >> You shop at Walmart? >> Yeah, I shop at Walmart, but I don't even have that shirt. I don't have that shirt.

We're just That's what so that we're just trying to we're just trying to see. So obviously you have a you have a reason for or uh an explanation for what happened today. We're asking you what happened that day cuz you're on video passing all points of sale. >> Passing all points of sale? I don't even know I don't even know what that is. >> Okay, here's the thing, right? I'm and I'm a very level-headed person. When you start lying to me, I get a little upset. So listen to me very carefully. You I showed you the picture. You said, yes, that's me. It looks like me. Then you you just >> But I don't have that >> 10 seconds later you just said, no, no, no, I don't have that shirt. >> But I don't I don't have that shirt, but it does look like me cuz my shorts and everything. I always wear those cut-off shorts, but I don't go I don't make it a habit to go past points of sale. I don't make it a habit to just be stealing food and and stuff at Target.

I don't want to lose my kids. >> do you remember that day specifically? Do you remember like did you leave your wallet that day too or what why is it >> incident where you had self-checkout with a whole cart of food and people say you tried to self you tried to do the self checkout over the app. And it just wasn't working for some reason and employees were helping you trying to get you some help. >> Was it over here on Pine Island Road? >> Yes. >> That went through.

I did have a big incident self checkout, but it went through. It paid and they were telling me that it didn't and I'm telling you yes it did. And I showed them my phone and everything. And that's when I just got pissed off and I just said whatever. I don't have time for this. I need you to go feed my kids or I need you to go home for something. I don't I don't really remember too much of it cuz I don't really remember. But I don't make it a point like I'm not >> So that day So that day you were at Walmart and then what happened? You went through the self checkout? >> know if it was that day. I had one incident at Walmart. I don't know if it was I don't even >> We don't have many incidents like that. Just you're just telling me it's a big coincidence that a girl that looks just like you just in a different shirt had the same exact incident of a self checkout where you tried to pay on the app and it it just all a big coincidence? >> What do you mean? This is a big coincidence. >> Yeah, someone who just looks just like you had the exact same incident at Walmart that you shop at about self checkout on an app. >> On on on that day, let me see the photo again. >> You guys are going to take me to jail. >> Ma'am, just listen. Just listen. >> Ma'am, you're not cooperating. >> You said I am cooperating. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to be in trouble.

She knows that she left it at our >> Does she know you have it? >> Probably. I mean, I would assume so. It's a mirror. Yeah. I mean, I don't use it for anything. I just was cleaning out the house we got evicted. I don't I don't have no reason to use her ID. She just looks like me, that's it. >> Okay. And what about >> Yes. >> What's that? >> Same. >> Same what? >> Same what? My Okay, so my brother he likes he likes prostitutes. And whenever they don't have whatever it is that they need to perform their job or whatever it is, they usually give him something to hold on to. Um jewelry or their IDs usually is what it is. They always need their ID back, you know? Um so, that's what they used to do at the house and my brother would always bring home these girls and kind of >> And why would they leave their IDs? >> Yeah, if they didn't have enough money to get what they needed or if they couldn't get right or Cuz everybody's going to come back for their IDs. You know what I mean? Usually. Usually. >> Are they anonymous strippers? >> I got with actual friends. Yeah. Um just one of my friends. But she's also a trick off, but They're both tricks. So, they just happen to >> leave their IDs at the house. >> Cuz they never wanted to come back to pay them what they owed him. So, they left their IDs there. So, we're all getting evicted.

So, he was getting me IDs that he was loaning me IDs so I could shop at Macy's. >> Are you still an authorized user? >> Yes. Yes, I am. And yes, Macy's has come to show you and everything. >> Do you have a phone number for him since you talked to him? >> Yes. Yes. >> What is it? Are you talking right now? Five. Yes, it's a Okay. Just give me a second. I'm going to make a phone call. You have any trouble with your actually different. >> No, it's different. I think that's the golden sales in any kind of trouble. They told her I wasn't trying to steal anything. And she said that I was trespassed. >> Yo, straighten out your car so people just move like I thought it was my car. >> Can I get my phone so I can show you guys that it's done? >> This is his investigation, so I'll let him I'll let him figure out what uh Good work. Good work. >> I don't want to go to the police car. 620. >> Under Florida statute 812.015, retail theft is complete upon concealment with intent. Exiting the store is not required. The subject's claim that she never left with merchandise does not defeat the charge. The subject claimed the Walmart app confirmed payment. Officers stated no payment appeared in store records. A screenshot reading all set does not override the retailer's transaction system. Officers found multiple third-party identification documents in the subject's possession. Florida statute 817.568 prohibits of another's ID without consent. Explanations were offered but unverifyable in the field. Officers flagged the items for investigation. At the 19-minute mark, the subject fled on foot from a lawful investigative detention. Under California versus Hodari D, 1991, a person who flees a Terry stop is not seized during flight. And evidence of flight is admissible. Illinois versus Wardlow, 2,000 unprovoked flight is a factor supporting probable cause. >> So, this family dispute is about trespass from Target earlier? And what does that have to do with anything? >> Two thefts. >> What thefts? >> Target and Walmart. >> I didn't steal anything, though. So, they're not thefts. They're not thefts. I didn't steal anything. >> Yeah. >> There's nothing that I can say that's going to make you let you guys let let me go, huh? >> [cheering] >> Like I said, this is his investigation, so. >> Can I go talk to him? >> I mean, like look, the fact that some job in our Walmart, and then we get called to Toys R Us, same person. And like when it happened at Walmart, I looked at the video and I was like um I was like, "Yeah, I remember her when you when you go with you at a Liberty Tax when you had the issue with your baby daddy." Yeah. Just hang out a little bit more over there so I can see you. >> Um it's Yes, I have the property and >> Bro, we just Personally, I would just put that on the same report that this was recovered. Is there any sense to that? Put that it was turned into Put them into the report for the same time. Yo! Where'd she go, man? SHE JUST DIPPED. >> COME OVER HERE.

Under Graham versus Connor, 1989, force is judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer at the moment of the decision. The subject had just demonstrated physical capacity by running and swimming across the canal. Her claim of sudden leg paralysis did not override that observable fact. Officers requested medical evaluation immediately after securing the subject, a legal obligation. A search incident to arrest followed. Chimel versus California 1969 authorizes this.
