On April 4th, 2024, someone in Tennessee had their credit card used to order Texas Roadhouse at a location in a completely different state. She called the restaurant, the restaurant called the police, the police set up and waited. He showed up to get the food. This is proof on record. >> 5525869 just advising they haven't checked in yet. So just stand by to see if they come up. The individuals who placed this order have not checked in yet. When they check in, I will advise what spot they're parked in. >> I'm not really sure like if I should call and like see if you're going to be able to do anything. >> Did did Jen call? >> She did. She said so. Yeah, she was in Tennessee. She was really mad. >> Yeah, all right, good to know. >> Understood. Sorry I >> I'd understand too if someone ordered Texas Roadhouse in a place that I wasn't getting the food. >> 374 >> Exactly. Hopefully they show up and it's not a waste of your time. >> Do you guys usually have like an amount of time that you wait before you just or you just when you close if it's left over you just get rid of it? >> Yeah, that's what we usually just throw it out. We I told the kitchen not to make it like obviously they're not going to get that free food. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> So they placed it this is the actual order. This is the name they put it under Jeff. >> Okay. 69 he's right up here in front. I don't know what car he's in but he's just standing up here. >> Um >> Can you tell him to follow me to the spot over here? No. >> So you want Yeah, we're going >> He's standing right here in the black sweatshirt. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Hi there. Can I talk to you? >> Yeah. >> Did you place an order for pickup? >> Uh it was yeah. >> Okay. Whose card did you use? >> It was uh my friend's not my friend's. It was just cards that [music] my friend had given me. >> You just used a random card? >> To be honest with you. >> Do you have your ID with you? >> Um Yeah. >> Yeah, hold on. >> Oh, what we doing? I was going to go get my ID. >> Well, you did you drive here? >> Yeah. >> Okay, I asked you if you had your ID. I didn't ask you to go walk to your car. >> Oh, okay. >> What's your name? >> Just Ricardo. >> Do you know your social? All right. >> Just have a seat right here on the bench. Let's just have a seat. Let's just have a seat right here. >> Okay, your name's not Justin. Cuz we can go ahead and add another charge here. All right? Where's your car? Did you come here alone? >> No, I'm my mom will come and get me. >> Are we allowed to search your pockets? Patting you down for weapons. >> Do you have anything on you that you shouldn't have right now? >> No. >> You're under arrest, so you are going to be searched. >> I know. >> You got to tell us now if there's something on you illegally. You got something? >> No, it's just my vape. >> How old are you? >> 18. Can I call my mom? >> You can't make any calls right now. >> No, I'm Justin Ricardo. >> Just wait. >> No, I'm being nice. I'm cool. >> You got You got something right there. 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 or her present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. You understand? >> Okay. >> All right, so Who is Who is Justin? Is that you? Okay. Yeah, we'll get him back here in the back of your car for now. >> Can I call my mom? >> Watch your step. >> I'm going to go walk away. >> Yeah, not not right now. >> Why? >> The setup is patient and methodical. Officers wait in the parking lot. The restaurant manager confirms the order was placed under a fake name and the card belongs to a real person in Tennessee who has already called in furious. He walks up in a black hoodie. The officer approaches him casually. Did you place a pickup order? Yes. Whose card did you use? A friend gave it to me. Two sentences in and the case is essentially built. He tries to walk to his car to get his ID. The officer stops him. That detail matters. Once an officer has reasonable suspicion sufficient to detain someone, the subject does not get to wander away. He gives his name as Ricardo. The officer tells him his name is not Justin either because the fake name on the order was justice and giving a false name during a lawful detention is its own charge. He is 18 years old. He says he just wanted a nice meal. Miranda is read. He says he understands. >> We got him. >> Yeah, keep him searching. >> Yes. Yes. >> Come over here. >> I got it. I >> I got it. >> I searched him. >> Come on over here. >> Just stand right here. >> In front of the front of the car. >> Face the car. >> All right. >> How old are you, man? >> I'm 18. >> 18? >> Do you go to Do you go to school? Did you graduate? >> I go to college. >> Okay. What brought you all the way up here? >> Just wanted to pick up my food. >> I'm hungry. >> You're hungry? >> And I just wanted a nice meal. >> How'd you get this credit card information? >> My friend gave it to me. >> I'm finding it hard to believe his mom dropped him off with my credit Who else is here with you? It doesn't make any sense. Somebody else is here with you. >> No, I swear >> God on on everything. >> you get here? >> My mom took me home. >> Your mom took you home? >> Yeah, my mom she took me here to get food and she ran home. >> So, you were supposed to pick up food here? >> Yes. >> You weren't supposed to just pick it up and go home? >> No. >> Hey. Just relax. >> No. >> It's all right. Just sit down for a >> I'm so sorry. >> All right. >> You got him? >> Yeah. >> Can I call my mom, please? >> Not right now. I told you that three times. >> I know. For what? >> No. right now. I told you that three times. You can in a little bit but not right now. Have a seat. I'm not going to lie, he was about to run. >> I know. >> He was about to run. She's in the She's in Tennessee, she says. Someone placed an order here. He walks up and says, "Hey, I got a pickup order for Justice or my name is Justice." And then when Taylor went to go ask him his name, he said What did he say? Ricardo? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, he said Ricardo. I'm going to go walk around the lot real quick and see if I can find >> Yeah, what he's going to belong to. >> All right, I'm >> Can you hold on to that for me? His name's on there so I'm trying to find him. He said he goes to Copley. I was going to text Kenny and see if he was familiar with the kid at all. He was here ready to run. >> Oh, yeah, for sure. 100%. Well, that's why I went to >> That's why I stopped him from going that way cuz I'm like, "Where are you going?" There it is. Chevy Hit it again. Camaro I wonder if this Camaro's stolen. Why would an 18-year-old kid have this car? Back? >> Sure. >> Can I call my mom? Can I use my phone? >> What did we just tell you, dude? >> Why can I not call my mom? >> Because you're detained pending a police investigation. Your mom is not a priority right now to us. >> Okay, I used the credit card. That's it. >> A stolen credit card. You used a credit card that did not belong to you. You did not have permission to use the credit card. Do you think this is just something we're just going to Oh, you know what? Just don't do that. >> No, I know I should be charged for this. >> Great. Then that's what we're working out. Okay? So, let us get through what we need to get through. You know, if we determine that you're going to be under arrest, then there's a lot of There's a lot of moving parts that we have to get through, okay? But once we get through that, I will let you call whoever you want. Have you done this before? >> No, this is my first time. >> Did you know it was a stolen credit card? >> I mean, he said, "Use this." And I was like, "All right." >> How did he get it? >> Uh I don't know. >> Who's this friend? >> I can't say names. >> Is it somebody you met online or somebody you know in real life? >> Online person. >> Okay. >> I got my back. >> I just want to see the last four of the VIN. 0296 0296 All right, I'm going to run it and see what it comes back to. You said a Ricardo, but I want to see how old he is and where the guy lives. >> Well, they said 18 years old. And he said his name was Ricardo. >> I wonder if he used a fake name [music] to place the order. Is he got his ID on him so far? >> Yeah, this is him. He said Ricardo first, and then he said Justice Antone. Justice Antone is a fake name that he used for the order. But this is him. >> Okay. I don't Hey, just want to see the same page. What name pops up with the on the deal and the RP? Ricardo. >> Yeah, that's him. >> That's who he's saying is. >> That's who he's saying he is? >> Mhm. >> The name that he the the So, he first told us Ricardo, and then the second name he told us Antone, whatever, is just the name the fake name that he came up with to put on the order. >> Mhm. >> So, this is him. >> Yeah, he's saying this is That's all him. >> I mean, we can verify further at the station, but I'm like 90% sure, yeah. >> She offered She offered to send the order home with me. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. >> She said, "Okay." >> He keeps asking to call his mom. The officer keeps telling him not yet. That is correct procedure. During an active investigation, officers are not required to allow phone calls before the investigation is complete. The right to make a call comes at booking. He says he just used a credit card. The officer corrects him. You used a credit card that did not belong to you and that you did not have permission to use. That distinction is the entire case. Misuse of a credit card under Texas law requires that a person use a credit card knowing they are not authorized to use it. He admits his friend gave it to him. He admits he knew it was not his. He admits he used it. The mens rea, the guilty knowledge is established by his own statements. He says he does not know where his friend got it. He will not give the friend's name. That is understandable. It is also not going to help him in court. The person who used the card is the person who picked up the food. That is him. Officers run the Camaro in the parking lot. It comes back registered to him, not stolen. An 18-year-old with a Camaro who ordered Texas Roadhouse on someone else's card from Tennessee. He is charged with misuse of a credit card and theft by deception. The woman in Tennessee did not get her food. The restaurant threw it out. And an 18-year-old who said he just wanted a nice meal is going to court over a chicken plate. Nothing in this video is legal advice. We are not practicing attorneys.
