Ma'am, so I'm going to give you one chance right now. >> Ma, I don't know what to do. I don't >> I'm going to give you Listen, stop talking to your mother and listen to me. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Put the phone down. >> I'm going to give you one chance. What's your real name? >> I told you my name. >> So, what is your name? Tell me. That's your name. That's who you are. Okay, is this car registered in your name? >> No, it is not. It's my little sister's. >> Okay, then why is the car coming up registered in the name >> My name It shouldn't come up registered in name It should come up registered under the name Desiree. This is my sister's car. >> On the 8th of October 2025, Franklin County deputies stopped a vehicle with no rear plate and no rear windshield. Two separate violations under Ohio Revised Code sections 4,513.02 and 4,513.03. Under Warren versus United States, any observed traffic violation provides constitutionally sufficient probable cause for a stop. The subject had no license on her person. She provided a name verbally, no physical ID. Ohio does not require officers to accept unverified verbal identification as conclusive. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> I'm Deputy Landers with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Uh the reason why I stopped you is that you have no back license plate on your car at all. >> I'm sorry. >> And you also need a back windshield. >> Yeah. Yep, it just got knocked out and I literally The paper is back there. It's just plastic and it keeps falling off. >> Once stopped, her behavior became noticeably nervous and overly polite, constantly shifting and avoiding direct answers. >> Okay, you got your license on you? >> I do not. I was just grabbing my mama some Wendys and going back home. >> I got you. You got You do have a license? >> Yes. >> You got any weapons or any drugs in the car? >> No. Just a bunch of clothes. >> A bunch of clothes? >> Yeah. >> Can you turn the car off for me? >> Yeah. >> Car doing a whole lot of beeping and stuff. >> Oh. >> Sure. What's your name? >> Blanche. >> Blanche >> Yes. >> All right, just hang tight. >> Where you going to on the tape? >> Yep. >> She say why she jumped into that gas station and then jumped back out? >> Yeah, I got it. >> She She She probably know. >> What's that? >> I said she knows. That she She was avoiding us. >> Her grandma was a jet. >> I'm going to talk to her for a minute while you're doing this. Did she pop? >> All right. >> I have it. >> Oh, okay. >> I was just You got to navigate through the screen. >> Yeah, yeah. >> It don't pop over. >> I'm just waiting and he ran my things. He looking through the car. He just looking around. But you know all my clothes and stuff is in here. >> So, where you coming from tonight? >> To you and my mom's house. >> Where's that? >> On Highland. >> On Highland? >> Yep. On Highland. >> All right. And where you going to? >> I was going to Rally's cuz the one that's on Malone closed. I was going to go to the one on Georgiaville and grab us some food and head back home. >> Oh, okay. All right. Um, why'd you pull into the BP? >> I needed gas. >> You needed gas? How much gas did you get? >> Um, none cuz when I scanned my card it wouldn't work. So, I was just like I'll make it back. I was just trying to get gas cuz that's the closest one that's normally open. >> Okay. All right. All right. And there's nothing illegal in this car at all? Okay. All right. All right. Um, would you have any problem with us checking the car? >> Why would you all want to check my car? I just want to know why you all want to check it. >> I'm just ask- cuz like my training experience usually if somebody sees us and then ducks right into a gas station and then the moment we leave Okay. Um, the mo- and then the moment that we go out of sight that person starts driving again it's usually an indicator that they're trying to avoid us. So, I'm just I'm curious what's going on. Um, have you ever been arrested before? >> No. >> No? Never for anything ever? >> No. >> Okay. All right. Good. So, >> There's a lot of stuff in here. I don't Mom, should I let them check my car? I mean there's nothing in here but you know I just started driving this one again cuz the other one stopped. So, I don't Yeah. I have a lot of stuff in here though cuz I just moved with a lot >> I'm on the move and all that stuff is still in there. >> But it's like I'm not I don't want to feel like I'm hiding anything but I just also don't want them just ransacking through my car either. >> I was going to go on a little food run. >> They said just because I >> I can tell you specifically what I'm looking for. It's guns and drugs. >> Oh, guns and drugs. Then no I ain't got no I just don't I don't know. I don't I've never had that question asked. I've always been told to just go home like and yeah, I don't >> Would you have any concerns about guns or drugs ever being in this vehicle before? Do you Do you associate with people who use either? >> No, it's not that. It's just like I was just telling my mom, I have a lot of stuff in here from moving in general like >> I mean, it's it's totally up to you. I'm I'm not going to like >> I just don't want to be I don't want to say no and then it I'll be in trouble, but I don't want to say yes. >> You're not going to be in trouble if you You're not going to be in trouble if you say no. It's your constitutional right to say no. >> I would personally I don't know but I just don't want to hide anything. But I don't Oh my god, I just want to eat. >> It's It's totally up to you. >> I've never had a good experience with what I've heard about cops going through cars. >> Okay. >> Um >> That's fine. >> When asked for consent to search, the deputy explicitly stated, "It is your constitutional right to say no." Under Schneckloth versus Bustamonte, consent must be voluntary. Officers are not required to give this advisement, but doing so is exemplary. The subject declined the search. That refusal was lawful and carried no legal consequence. Deputies then deployed a K9 unit under Illinois v. Caballes. A dog sniff during a lawful stop does not constitute a Fourth Amendment search and requires no additional justification. >> So I tried asking her about searching the car and she got weird about it. She was like, "Uh and she's on the phone with her mom. She's like, "Should I say yes or no? You know, I don't want to act like I'm hiding anything, but you know, I don't know what they're looking for and I just started driving this car and I was like, "Do you associate with people who have guns or drugs?" And she was like, "No." I was like, "Have you ever been arrested before?" She said, "No." >> She's saying pretty clean. But I'm going to go get that VIN number because >> We got K9 6 here. Do you want to sniff or not? You want one? Okay. >> I would assume that that's probably a good indicator though is even if she's even if she's not she's worried about it. >> Yeah, you can tell. >> Oh. >> Wasn't expecting it to be quite so old. >> Broken? >> I don't know what the word would be. I don't know what the word would be. It's going to be that way till it is a rain and hopefully probably not guaranteed. >> There's Is that the back pool? >> Yeah. >> Probably. She said there's one back there. >> Quite old. But she still is >> Uh yeah, I think I figured by the fact that it has a T on it. >> The driver provided a name to the deputies which initially appeared valid. However, officers soon discovered that the name she gave was associated with an active traffic warrant. At this point, deputies slowed the encounter down. Her behavior didn't fully match the information provided and inconsistencies began to surface prompting officers to take extra time to properly identify who she really was before moving forward. >> There's a like a liquor bottle. I'm not getting any indicators of intoxication though from her. >> I didn't smell it. >> She's not slurring her words. Like there's nothing to make me think that she's intoxicated. >> driver. >> That Yeah, that's that's also an option. >> Negative. Thank you. >> She's got a speeding ticket. >> Welcome. >> I would also assume that she's probably got marijuana in the car. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> I would I would reasonably believe that the bottle on the floor is recent simply because if you look number one, she has shoes on that you would probably go to a club in. >> She has a jacket as well. She also has her eyelashes on. So, I find it hard to believe that she was at the house hanging out >> Yeah. >> going to rallies and just wanted to get gas. She's dressed up as if she was probably at a bar or had been drinking. So. There's also a lot There's a marijuana shaped um ashtray on the floor that I saw that >> So. So, I would guess that she's probably nervous based on what it had written in it. I could see the bottle before we >> I'm not sure that's her. Can we get a Let's see. >> Either way, it was I saw the bottle >> Ain't no way. Hey. Is this her? I don't think so. >> I don't think so, either. >> You have to say he's been >> I don't know. She's got a lot of makeup. It doesn't look like her, but >> This might be a way to squeeze these. >> Go ask her did she just give you the social and that's it? >> me her social and her name. >> Is it When you ran the When you ran the car, is it supposed to be registered to her? Allegedly? >> Buddy, I haven't touched this cab. >> Well, that's what I'm wondering. >> Is if she's saying she told Sarge or was in his presence said that she's trying to get the registration switched over to her. If it's registered allegedly to her, if that's switch is the same, then we know she just gave you the sister's info. >> Yeah, it comes back to the name on it. So, she probably gave sis sister's >> sister's information. >> Confront her with it. Oh, sake. Um >> I'm Slate. >> This is her car. Um we're trying to get stuff switched over to B now. >> Hm. >> I don't have my work badge in here. >> You ain't got no work badge in here or nothing? >> No. >> I don't think so. Ma'am, I'm going to step out of the car. >> Yeah. >> Hang up that phone. >> Um Mom, they want me to hang up the phone, but I don't want to hang up the phone. >> Well, ma'am >> Ma'am, so I'm going to give you one chance right now. >> Mom, I don't know what to do. I don't >> I'm going to give you Listen, stop talking to your mother and listen to me. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Put the phone down. I'm going to give you one chance. What's your real name? >> I told you my name. >> So, what is your name? Tell me. That's your name? >> Yes. >> That's who you are? >> Yes. >> Okay. Is this car registered in your name? >> No, it is not. It's my little sister's. >> Okay. Then why is the car coming up registered in the name >> My name It shouldn't come up registered in the name It should come up registered under the name Desirae. This is my sister's car. I'm trying to get it transferred over to me. >> Okay. Go ahead and step to the front of the car right over here. >> This is why I don't like driving this one. I would have just drove the truck. >> Hey, uh >> It's got a weed [ __ ] emblem on it. >> Everything in here is dead. >> Mhm. Yeah, and there is liquid missing from it. >> Like everything in this I'm right I'm still here, but that's what I'm saying. Everything in here is dead. I I I drank her tea off the things cuz I couldn't drive the car. >> Well, she's got a warrant. We can just take her on the warrant. The joint is up. >> No. >> The bags are interesting, too. That's a lot of bags. >> I'm and I didn't bring them. I shouldn't have brought them. I'm going so across from that kid baby. >> The uh that's This is going to be an open bottle of wine. Yeah. >> Like right when you cast the Denados or Demerits. >> Exactly. But how do I >> Yes, it's easy. >> open the container. How do we know that she hasn't consumed it today? Yeah. I think the safest place confirm the warrant. >> Yeah. Uh yeah, I would that's >> And no fingerprint her there. >> Hey, she she needs to get in the back of the car. She needs to give up her phone. >> Hey, yeah. At this point, I'm thinking that we could take her just do the warrant. >> Let's go ahead and do it cuz I don't know. >> Right over here. Step over here. Yep. Go Go ahead and confirm it. Um scratch out the site for failure to display and no safety glass. And we'll do it that way. >> Did she have a full warrant? >> Yep. Ma'am. >> Yes. >> So, are you aware that you have a warrant? >> Who has a warrant? >> I don't know. Tell me who. Are you >> Yes, I am. >> Is that your name? >> Yes. >> Okay, then you you possibly have a warrant for your arrest. >> For what? >> Some kind of traffic citation you didn't pay. >> The only thing that I've ever gotten was on High Street and it was a little ticket in the dash thing and I paid that. >> We're we're confirming it right now, but the photo of you that we have on record does not look anything like you. >> Didn't I just tell you that like it's because I've depressed. I'm losing weight. Like I normally have double chin and all. Like I could take my contacts out, wig off, my lashes. I am the exact same person. I'm just not fat anymore. >> Also, there's some kind of >> and them look identical. >> There's some kind of THC drink in your in your car in the door. Yeah, what's that about? >> I told you well, I didn't tell you. I told your partner. I was moving everything from my old house to my mom's house. So, everything in both of our cars is just packed. There's just stuff everywhere. There's a ashtray on the front floor and there's just a lot of stuff. >> Okay. >> But, that bottle should be in >> So, have you had any of that THC liquid tonight? >> No. >> Okay. You're moving. What are you moving? Empty bottle? Yeah. >> I was thinking the same thing. >> Why do you put it right within reach if you're moving? >> Yeah. >> And it's trash. I usually put my trash on the passenger floor and then clean it up eventually if I have trash, but why would I retain it? If you're moving, you could do SFSTs, but I don't know if that's going to find anything. Yeah, I >> Dude, I Dude, I don't know. I booked her for the call. >> Her story about losing weight might be true, but doesn't that look that she's got that scar right there? See she's Can you see if she's got that scar on her eyebrow? >> Yeah, hold on. Turn that brightness up on that. In the eyebrow? >> Scar? What Where at? >> Right eyebrow. I could have sworn on her >> one. It's right eyebrow. I'm going to end up doing double booking. >> [music] >> She's about to go to jail for failure to identify. >> Is that her sister? >> This is Desiree that we're looking at right now. >> Okay, so on her right eyebrow, it looked like it's cut. Did you see that again? >> What's up? I'm sorry. >> Did you see her eyebrow? >> Yeah, it's got It's got the line in it like that does. >> Well, we're going to go back to the other sister. I'm just trying to see I don't think it is either. >> And I guess what? She don't want to get the warrant. >> She's also got Leads alerts though. >> There's no There's no listing for scars, marks, tattoos. >> [snorts] >> I didn't see >> On the warrant on Is it on Leads? Well, let's try and navigate this [ __ ] Um I think she's lying. I think she's lying. >> I think so too, but why would she give her sister information? Because she >> Well, she gave her sister's information then said she was trying to transfer it from her sister. And the car's registered to And then she's like, "No, it should be it's Yeah. You ran the VIN, it comes back to you, Nick. I looked. >> Oh, okay. You did. >> Yeah, I looked. I hate it when people do this because it becomes such a problem, especially when it's like a sister. It becomes such a problem identifying. And she's got no arrest record. She's just lying about a warrant. >> As the investigation continued, deputies uncovered more issues. The vehicle was unregistered, the driver was operating under multiple license suspensions, and additional traffic violations were confirmed. Things escalated further when deputies discovered the driver was carrying a concealed weapon and had actively interfered with their investigation, leading to criminal charges. >> We're going to inventory one way or another, the car's going. It's either she's and has a warrant, or she's Desiree and has a warrant, but either way she has a warrant. All right. I also don't think Desiree has a driver's license. Hey, hold on for a second. Just 1 second. Desiree don't have a driver's license, does she? >> Suspended. >> She is suspended. >> 4:15. >> Yep, there we go. Yep. >> The name provided returned an active traffic warrant. However, the record photo did not match the subject. Deputies cross-referenced the vehicle registration, the VIN, and photos of both sisters in the system. This methodical approach was legally sound. Identity must be confirmed before a warrant arrest is executed. Under Hybel v. Sixth Judicial District Court, states may require individuals to identify themselves during lawful stops. Ohio Revised Code Section 2921.29 codifies that obligation. Providing a false name violates it. ORC section 2921.31 obstructing official business requires a knowing act that hampers a public official performing a lawful duty. Providing a false identity during a lawful stop satisfies that element on its face. Separately criminalizes knowingly false statements to law enforcement. The subject later admitted the deception was premeditated. Her sister had instructed her to use the sister's identity. That admission satisfies the mens rea requirement for both falsification and obstruction. >> Hey, we're good. >> Is it there? >> Yeah. >> That's for Ronald. So, that's Desiree's prescription, right there? >> I thought you dumped them all up already. >> Mom, he >> Put your hands up. >> behind your back. >> And he told me to put my hands behind my back. >> Just like you're praying. >> I don't know. He's telling me to He's not telling me anything. >> Oop, oop, explain. >> He said he'll explain everything in the second. >> Nothing in this coat? >> No, you said I should just give it to me. >> Walk over here. >> I'm walking away from my phone. I don't know what's going on. >> All right, Desiree. Now's the time to come clean. Go ahead and take a seat. >> Desiree, here's your options. >> Hey, there's a 40. 40 foot >> Yeah. >> What? >> So, what's your real name? Okay. Okay, is that's the story you're going to stick with? >> Why do you guys keep asking me my sister's name? >> Either >> mom's on the phone. She wants to know who I am. >> Either way, your sister She has a warrant and Desiree has a warrant. I got reason I got reasons to believe that you are Desiree and you are driving with a suspended license and all you had to do was say so. It would have been a ticket and you would have It would have That would have been the end of it. >> We we don't typically Yeah, it would It's just traffic stuff. Yeah, but now because you've been lying to us, you you got additional charges. >> So, so here's your options. You're going to have multiple additional charges or you can just tell me your real name. Cuz right now I got you on obstruction, falsification, and failure to provide. Or you can just give me your real name and you can just take obstruction. >> What is that? >> That you delayed our investigation. And all you had to do from the very beginning was tell me your right name. And that would have been the end of it. You would have just got a driving under suspension ticket. >> Why would I get a driving under suspension ticket? >> Because you are suspended. >> That's literally not Oh my god, this is going to irritate me. This is why I told her we shouldn't do this. >> Yeah, everything in the car is Desiree. She said she was >> This is literally why I told her we shouldn't do this. >> So, you are Desiree? >> Yes, but my sister said as long as I'm driving her car because it's not switched over yet to tell them that I'm her. >> Okay, Desiree. That's it. Just uh Just just >> license aren't suspended. I literally >> It said your license is suspended from an accident, but that's beyond the point. Just just be a De- Desiree, listen to me. Listen to me. Just be aware that for for the future we do have means to see who people are. We have pictures. >> I >> And I knew it immediately. Okay, just start telling the truth. So, you >> It wasn't She said as long as I'M DRIVING HER CAR that I need to tell them that >> And And on another thing, too. That firearm in the car. >> That's mine. >> Yeah, I I I asked you I asked you, "Do you have any guns or anything in the car?" You said, "No." >> I don't have My purse is in the >> All right, go ahead and kick your feet. >> My purse is in the car and I knew I'd get in trouble. Like, what the I shouldn't have just not listened to her. I shouldn't have not listened to her. No. >> When directly asked whether the vehicle contained weapons, the subject said no. A handgun was subsequently found in her purse. She admitted it was hers. Under ORC section 2923.12, carrying a concealed weapon requires no permit when carrying a handgun outside the home without a valid CCW. Had the subject disclosed the firearm and presented a valid concealed carry license, this charge would not have applied. The firearm denial followed by voluntary admission established both the offense and the subject's awareness of it. The vehicle was impounded. Under South Dakota V. Opperman, inventory searches of lawfully impounded vehicles require no warrant. Final charge count: seven. Driving under suspension, financial responsibility suspension, failure to register, seatbelt violation, stop sign violation, carrying a concealed weapon, and obstructing official business. Deputy Lambert receives a B+. The stop was legally grounded and professionally executed. The voluntary consent rights advisement exceeded minimum legal requirements and reflects genuine constitutional awareness. The identity investigation using biometric markers and database cross-referencing was methodical and prevented a wrongful arrest. Deduction: Off-camera commentary on the subject's attire and appearance as informal criminality indicators has no place in professional law enforcement. The subject receives a D. Every charge beyond the initial traffic stop was self-generated. She provided a false identity deliberately, denied a weapon she possessed, and maintained the deception through multiple direct confrontations. She was given an explicit opportunity to reduce her exposure, and chose continued deception until the evidence was exhaustive. Lesson: A traffic citation becomes a felony arrest only when the subject creates additional criminal exposure. Providing truthful identification and disclosing a legally carried firearm are the two actions that would have changed this outcome entirely. Concealment compounds charges. Disclosure limits them. The law treats honesty as a mitigating factor, deception as an aggravating one. Let us know if there is a interaction or legal topic you would like us to discuss in the comments below.
