I'm trying to get her out of the car. That's the [music] end of the story, but to understand how she got here, let's go back to the moment she made every wrong decision in exactly the right order. Hello. Hi. That's >> [music] >> Jessica, and she's just made a mistake. They They can refuse to sell you items. Yeah, but they're trying to >> [music] >> raise the Please. Please. It's 1:20 a.m. at [music] Racetrac gas station in North Fort Myers. Jessica Tenney wants to walk away clean, but after what she's [music] already done, that's not happening. I don't want these items. Do not do that. Put your hand behind your back. No. Clerk Paul Haskett caught [music] Jessica walking out without paying, not once, but twice. She didn't stop. She didn't care. $14.98. That's what started all of this. What did she do? All right. What did she do? She the alcohol and stuff in the bag that she has out there, she took and just walked out of the store with it. Uh when I Well, she originally she took one bottle and two slices of pizza. When I asked her if she paid for any of it, she told me that she did. When I checked the cameras, she did not. So, I went out there, I took the [ __ ] wine bottle back, put it out back on the shelf, told her she had to pay for the pizza. She tried to put the pizza in my mouth, so I told her to back off away from me, and came inside, went to go call my non-emergency, and then she came back and took more alcohol, and then walked out of the store with it. So, I called my non-emergency. Okay. And it's in her bag right now? Sorry. And it's in her bag right now? Uh I haven't taken anything from her. This is the Hello. Hi. Hi.

Press charges. No, I would Oh my goodness gracious. So you didn't pay for those? Be I am. >> [clears throat] >> So no, I would like to pay for these items. Do you have your ID on you? The moment Deputy Lincoln asks for her ID, something shifts in Jessica. Suddenly, her smile fades, face turns pale, and she's willing to pay. But that's not remorse. That's panic. The kind that only shows up once the consequences are standing right in front of you. So you guys didn't want to sell her the Well, she tried to steal it. So I told her that I wasn't going to sell it to her after that. It's here. It's not the time. Ma'am, you walked out of here when I asked you to pay for it. You told me you would. >> first And then when I went back inside and checked my cameras, you did not pay for it. You just walked out the door. Here.

THAT'S NOT HOW THIS YOU DID NOT read me any And there, she plays her card, Miranda. Which, let's talk about it, because she got the textbook wrong. Miranda kicks in when you're in formal custody and being interrogated as well. But here, Deputy Lincoln is on the scene and still building the case. Jessica's claim has zero legal ground. rights.

Did you strike her? No. You're good. All right. He just walked up, so I told him to get back. Here, the officers just talked about Philip, Jessica's friend, already on scene. And he made every right decision. She didn't. Do you know who your spouse is? Uh when she pulled away, I kind of Was there injuries? Did you see her strike her or was she injured? Uh not She's not injured to my knowledge. No, I did not strike her. Okay, good. Take her down to jail. What's her name? What's her name? >> is No, her name is uh Jessica right now. Do you have your ID? Jessica what? You're You're asking me for my name or her name? >> Both. Okay. Uh my name is Phil. Philip what? Ferret. Ferret. And what is her name? Uh Jessica. Jessica what? Denny. What is that? Denny. Just look at Phil's body language, the casual hands, the relaxed posture. He's completely detached. What's your birthday? Uh 1 16 87 maybe? 1/16/87? I believe I'm not sure. There's a bottle of wine up on the roof. Bottle of wine up? I put that on the inside on the Oh, you did? Okay, thank you. What was your uh birth date? One more time. 1/8/1987. So, Philip she called you here because why? Philip clearly doesn't care about how it ends. This is Jessica's mess, not his, and every inch of him is saying it. He just wants his name nowhere near this report. So, are you trying to make me change my story? No, I'm trying to get the story. She called me cuz she needed a ride. I was going to give you a ride. All right. You're a veteran, sir? Well, yeah, of course. Yeah, what branch? I served in the army and then the air force. All right, good. Thank you for your service. My question All right. Did 5 years. So, the um the issue we have is we're just trying to get to the the reason why she was acting out the way she is cuz that's odd. Well, I just got a message, "Come pick me up at racetrack." Okay. And I got here 2 minutes too late. I mean, clearly she had already I don't know what the hell she paid to do. Was she stealing stuff or was she just think she's making bad bad choices? Yeah, go fill him up with the names and all that. What's his name? Yeah, he's working it. What's his name? We got it. Yeah, stand by here, bro. Phil. Yeah. Yeah. Philip cooperated, kept his distance, and he's walking away clean tonight. Jessica isn't getting that same exit. Inside the store, Deputy Lincoln pulls up the CCTV, and there it is. I said this is when she grabbed the first initial one. Well, she does have that brown bag with her. The whole system. So, I'm not I'm pretty sure anything in that brown bag she probably already had. Okay. But there was her eating the first slice of pizza. She grabs the wine bottle. Yeah, so I put the wine back after confronting her about it. Okay, so she had left it like up on the counter? Well, no, she left it outside. She had it on the table out there. And when I asked her if she paid for it, she told me yes. I came back here, I checked the cameras, seen that she walked out with it. And I walked back out there, just kind of grabbed it off the table, and walked back inside with it. And then I told her, I was like, man, I'm I'm not selling you alcohol. I was like, you have already stolen one once. And I was like, I'm not calling that one in. I was on the phone with the non-emergency. And then she started like getting in my face and like grabbing stuff from behind me. So, I just called 911. All right, I appreciate it. No problem. Thank you. Thank you. Yep. Um, we might want to need a, have you sign a desire to prosecute form Okay. for me and just a brief statement of what you did, all right? All right. I'll have either myself or one of my colleagues bring it in. Every move Jessica made is caught clean. You can challenge an eyewitness and attack their credibility, but a recording, it doesn't forget. It doesn't flinch. And so, her denials and excuses mean nothing anymore. Uh, let me get your gloves before you do that. >> Just in case she goes wild again and I have to Hey, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait. Hold on. Compare this face to just moments ago. The performance is over. Relax. Relax. Okay. She's going to pat you down really quick, okay?
