Police is going to get involved in this situation. Oh, wow. >> You didn't even give me a chance. You You DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHANCE. >> You didn't get A CHANCE. GET DOWN. Get down. Get down. >> Her body, her choice. We should never body-shame anyone. But what's concerning is when some people allegedly use their large body size to shield themselves from cameras while concealing merchandise. >> Why are you going to get all that stuff out of my purse? It's just a couple shirts. Don't go through my purse. You're not a That's it. >> You're going to go to jail tonight. Can you stand up and turn around? >> I can't pay. >> No, it's too late for that. Can you stand up and turn >> I didn't >> And what other excuses will people come up? Find out in today's video when high-calorie shoplifters think their size can hide stolen goods. Starting with this mother who was so allergic to Walmart that she ran away and left her own children behind. >> trouble for both of us before. I'm not going to lie to you and I've been clean all year, you know, I've been out of jail a year, I haven't gotten any trouble. Um and Walmart's one of the ones I just get a little nervous in, you know. Um I'm I'm just being honest with you. >> On the 23rd of June, 2025, at the loss prevention office of a Walmart store, several children were being held with a woman who was not their mother. Their mother reportedly fled after being suspected of shoplifting and the complicated situation prompted officers to respond to the scene. Here's what happened next. How's everybody doing? Are you You're the friend? Got you. >> [music] >> I was just talking to the apprehension. I'm trying to get a printed receipt right now to see exactly how much. She had told her to come over here to watch the kids and she had walked out the door and she got stopped by her. >> Okay. >> I don't I don't understand what she was saying, but >> Got you. So, did she ask you to watch the kids? She didn't just like walk off? >> She pointed to the kids, so I'm assuming that was come watch the kids, but I did not hear what she was saying when she left the kids with them. >> You guys go over there. This is adult conversation, it's not yours. >> Yeah, it sounds like she has a lot of theft history, based on what we found. So, you said that she's on her way back. >> No. >> You said that she's on her way back? >> No. >> No, she's just leaving the kids here with you? >> Probably. >> Okay. Um what's your plan? Where are you here >> I'm going to watch them. I'm not I'm not going to abandon them >> I don't I don't think that you would, but I'm just asking to see just to make sure that they're all taken care of. You said some of these are your kids as well. >> Yeah, they're all boys. Which Yeah, there he is. They're older than they are than me. >> Okay. Um can I get your driver's license? >> That's a white card with it. Yes, sorry. >> Um So, at this point, I'm going to get some of their DNO, all their names, and would you be able to find their dates of birth, or is that something that you might not know? >> I know her date of birth. I know hers, that's the only one I know. >> I know their dates, I don't know their years. >> Got you. The mother reportedly had no intention of returning, while the woman looking after the children knew little about them, raising serious concerns that forced the officer to call the suspect. >> Hello, my name is Sergeant Williams, with the Seaside Police Department. >> Just so you're aware, what's going to happen right now, we are going to I I only briefly spoke with my officer here, but it sounds like you just left your kids here after you committed a theft and decided to run away. So, what we're going to do is we're going to file warrants for theft, we're going to file warrants for child endangerment for each of your kids that you decided to abandon here, and then we're going to also charge you with some warrants, issue some warrants for child endangerment, I'm sorry, not child endangerment, I already mentioned that one, contributing to the delinquency of a minor for a theft while in the presence of your kid. At this point, I appreciate your verbal consent. I'm not so sold on it. I I can't verify who you are. I have no information for you. I can't see your face. All I have is a name and a phone number. So, what I'm likely to do is just I'm going to have to take the kids to children's services and have a legal guardian pick them up from there where they can call us that when they're ready to be picked up. So. >> My best friend can't take them. >> No. No, the easiest way for for this whole thing to be to have went down is would you have got a piece of paper and a summons and showed up to a court date. Um but no, I can't I can't see who you are. You abandoned your kids like this. No, I'm not I'm not one for favors or believing somebody who is willing to leave their kid to to believe that these kids are theirs or who they are. So, I don't I don't think we're going to go that route. If you want to show back up and and receive your your paperwork and your summons for your future court date, then fine with that. Otherwise, no, your children are going to go to children's services. >> So, if I show up, I'm just going to get a charge and I'm not going to go to jail? >> Yeah, that's the whole plan. You get a summons, you have a court date, we verify who you are and make sure that you are the person that you say. We'll give you a summons for the theft, you'll be on your way. >> Okay, well, I'm going to come back and we'll do that then. >> Okay, that's probably for the best. I really don't want anything bad for your kids here. So. >> Yeah, I don't want to I just don't want to go to jail either. I'm I didn't mean to I wasn't I >> The officer remained calm, but his words carried the weight of responsibility for the consequences of her actions. Meanwhile, the woman was still nearby and could return within minutes. >> Yep. Um So, again, now that you're here. >> I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ran. I should have just waited for you guys. I just got a little nervous and >> Yeah, it >> I've been in trouble for theft before. I'm not going to lie to you and I've been clean all year, you know, I've been out of jail year. I haven't gotten in any trouble. >> Got you. >> So, I just got a little nervous and I didn't know what to do. So. >> You don't have any weapons or anything on >> No. Can I give you No. >> You're not going to take off on us anything like that? >> no, no. >> Um, if you do have any >> So, there'll be another charge, yeah. >> So, what we're going to have you do is they'll come out. Uh >> This one's not This one's not. Yeah, will you hold my phone? >> Yes, I will. >> I'll hang up on it. >> So, we do have your consent to let your friend take all of your children. >> not supposed to do that. >> Okay. >> Come here. >> Not yet. >> Am I going to be arrested? >> So, step over here. >> This one's This one's not hers. He's He's not going to charge her. >> one He doesn't mind her holding it. >> The first thing she cared about was defending herself rather than asking about her children. Her emotions then gradually escalated in front of them, all because she was worried about her own fate. >> Come on, Sahara. >> We're in the process of verifying them with Rockland County. Um, if if you do have these warrants, um, you will be going to jail. And >> Okay, yeah, I shouldn't have any warrants. >> to have to check. Um, have you ever missed a court date before for this stuff or you just >> Mhm, no, I've been down before. I am on probation, I'll be honest with you. Um, but I know um, when you pull up my name it says it is a red mark by it. It says check docket for processing a payment. >> What's your What's your probation for? Is it also for theft? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, there's no way that we can cut this where we can >> Yes, sir. >> There's no way that we can cut this that you won't go to jail at least for tonight. Cuz even if you these warrants come back and they're not good because of your priors, because you're on probation, I can't just release you with a summons. You'll have to be jailed tonight. >> I will take him overnight. Well, I'm on My mom can't take him. >> I will take them. >> Can you Can I call >> overnight. >> Okay. I've I've I'm on probation. I'm going to get a probation violation. >> Right. And And I understand that, but again, it sort of comes with the territory, right? You're an adult, you made an adult decision. There's not a whole lot more that I can do for you there, okay? >> know how long I would have to sit for this one probation violation? I mean, is it going to be more than one, isn't it? >> I I know how this is going to work, again. If it I'm not an expert I'm not an Yeah, I'll let you make any phone calls that you want, but I'm not an expert on >> Yeah, I'm going to be in there for a long time. Can I write your phone number down? >> We'll get phone numbers and everything for people you need to contact. Um >> Yes, we already got that situated. >> What what we're going to do at this point right now I'm not going to put you in handcuffs at the moment. >> Okay. >> I'm going to let you tell your kids that they're going to be staying the night with her. >> Or do you want me to just take them? >> I want to tell them goodbye. >> Okay. >> So, I'm going to give you a moment to calm down cuz obviously we don't want to scare your kids or anything. We We want them to come out and see mama's normal. >> She seemed to be acting more childishly than the children around her, but none of this changed the officer's decision to proceed with the arrest and they eventually placed her in handcuffs. >> Yeah, I'm sorry, guys. Let me stop crying. Diana's going to take you home with her, okay? >> All right, so at this point just turn around for us and put your hands behind your back. We're going to use several sets of cuffs on you. That way it's uh not super uncomfortable. What when people when people are cooperative we try to use these cuffs. We're probably going to have to use uh uh >> Is that fine? >> People are cooperative we try to use these safety cuffs that way their their shoulders aren't >> Can you call my mom when you leave and let her know that what I told you? Call Call my mom now and let her know. >> All right. >> All right, love you. >> Listen, our job is to enforce the law not to be jerks or >> No, I know and I I I mean it wasn't It really honestly I really wasn't It was really honestly and I should have went to the back to the office with their turn. >> I I think you made a bad decision tonight. >> I do and I'm I mean I guess I'm going to spend the night in jail over it, you know. I just get I get so nervous in stores like I still have a hard time going into stores just cuz of my prior, you know, addiction, you know. Um and Walmart's one of the ones I just get a little nervous in, you know. Um I'm going to just be honest with you. Um and I don't know. I just I just kind of froze up and I I don't Um >> The woman was charged with shoplifting and child endangerment. She was later convicted of shoplifting while the child endangerment charge was dismissed. A mistake can have consequences far beyond what someone expects, especially when children are involved. Running away may turn a manageable situation into a much more serious one, while taking responsibility and cooperating can help prevent further complications. Stranger still, this Karen remained confident when the police suddenly arrested her. >> I'm not being uncooperative. I'm standing right here. Telling you I didn't do [ __ ] I don't know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. You follow us. >> On the 12th of March, 2026, a woman was caught shoplifting at a store. More specifically, she had stolen thousands of dollars worth of sports cards before fleeing to the parking lot. But what was strange was how she could immediately act as if nothing had happened when the officer approached her. >> What do you want? >> You're detained right now. Okay, so don't walk Don't walk away from me. All right? >> What's going on? I don't know. Will you tell me? >> You got your identification on you? >> I don't. >> Okay. Do you know these people? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. Just hang out. We're going to figure it out, but uh they >> Figure it out. >> Well, they they said you were shoplifting. >> I don't have anything on me. >> Okay. Well, I don't know what you did with the cart. >> Right where the gentleman was. >> Okay. Past the other register? >> In the doorways. >> Okay. >> But I didn't take anything. I don't have anything, so I don't know what to tell you. >> Okay. Well, you made it past the final point of sale. >> Yeah, but I I have anything. >> When the officer questioned her, she appeared suspiciously calm. And even after he told her about the shoplifting allegations, she continued to act the same way. >> What did I do wrong? >> You shoplifted. >> No, I didn't. I didn't take anything. I don't have anything. How do How can you tell me I shoplifted? >> Hey, ma'am. Going to have to identify yourself, okay? >> Um no, I don't. >> What what I >> you need my name? >> I'm going to go get some cameras, yeah. Yeah, go for >> Okay. Why do you need my name? >> Because you're detained. Okay. I have reasonable suspicion that you committed a retail theft. >> Okay, but I took nothing. So What did I take? I took nothing. So that's a fact. >> Okay. You're detained. You're not free to go. If you try to go, I'm going to arrest you. >> I'm I'm not trying to go anywhere. >> Okay. >> What would you arrest me for? >> Obstructing. >> Obstructing what? >> Obstructing a peace officer. >> Okay. What does that mean? What does that mean? >> Well, you seem to be the legal legal expert. You tell me what it means. >> Okay, well, I know you can only detain me for so long. So you arrest me or or I'm eventually going to be able to go. >> With her hands in her pockets and her eyes fixed on the officer, she seemed confidently clever, but her lack of cooperation was already easy to see. >> Is that what they told you at law school or >> I'm sorry. I know my rights. >> Okay. What What right is that? >> I don't have to answer any of your questions. >> That is 100% correct. But you do have to identify yourself, though. >> No, I don't. >> Okay. >> I don't know my name. How How do I do that if I don't know my name? >> You do you have you have you have the right to remain silent, so you could just go ahead and do that. >> Okay, but I'm not under arrest. >> You're detained. >> Calling you on your >> Okay. >> I'm not being cooperative. I'm standing right here. Telling you I didn't do [ __ ] >> At this point, an officer walked out of the store after speaking with the employee. With each determined step, it seemed he had already made a decision about how to handle her actions. >> All right, ma'am. Can you do me a favor turn around for me so we can place you under arrest for retail theft, okay? >> I didn't steal anything. I didn't steal anything. >> Just relax. Just >> I didn't steal anything. >> Okay. >> I didn't steal anything. There's nothing in my possession. I stole nothing. >> Okay. You have your damn court, and then like I said >> We're not going to fight that out here, okay? >> I stole nothing. >> Like I said, you're not refusing to give your or you're refusing to give your name, so we're going to take you down to the station, fingerprint you, all that stuff, and then we'll go from there, okay? But like I said, you're going to be placed under arrest for retail theft, okay? >> I didn't steal anything. >> Okay. You want to go ahead and fill Actually >> steal anything. >> Okay. We'll book you in the jail. >> No. I don't I want the definite You're saying I'm under arrest. I want to know what the I am I'm protected, you said. I stole nothing. I have a physician. No. You. Oh my god. >> Unless that causes a scene, people you know, we don't want people looking over you. >> causing a scene. I didn't steal anything. >> Okay. Just stand right by my wheel, please. Okay? Right here. Thank you. >> I didn't take anything. How's that being theft? What the [ __ ] did I take? Nothing. I didn't take anything. >> I mean, why don't you take a seat in there? >> No, I don't. I didn't take anything. >> you going to cooperate with us? >> Because I didn't take anything. >> Okay. So >> What IS THEFT? SAY I'VE JUST taken something. >> I'm going to explain something to you, okay? So I I read the cameras. >> Right. >> She continued to deny the allegations, forcing the officer to explain exactly what she had done. But would his explanation finally make her accept the accusations? All right. It shows you paying for a drink. >> Okay. >> And there are you have a car full of merchandise. >> Okay. >> Okay. You leave past the point of purchase. >> Okay. >> And you exit here. At that point that's that's a crime. >> That's That's not a crime because I have nothing on me. >> matter. >> I don't have anything. >> you don't you don't have anything is because asset protection stopped you. That's why you don't have anything, okay? Oh, the only thing I'm asking you just for >> You're telling me I'm under arrest for theft. I took nothing. I have nothing. >> I'm only just asking for your cooperation. >> No, I want your cooperation. >> going to stay in jail. >> I'm not under [ __ ] arrest. >> Okay. It's a You are. >> No, because I took nothing. You have nothing. I have nothing. >> out. If you feel like you're right, you can take this up court and fight it. >> I'm not going to court because I'm not I shouldn't be arrested. >> Okay. So, you're going to be released on notice to appear. You're not staying the night in jail. Just give me like a couple like 2 hours of paperwork and then I'll get you out of here. >> No, because I didn't take anything. >> you going to step inside the car? >> No, because I didn't take anything. >> Why Why aren't you Why aren't you cooperating? >> BECAUSE I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING. >> Can you get in the car? >> I didn't steal anything. I didn't steal anything. >> Ma'am, >> anything. >> Okay. Okay. Then if you don't If you didn't steal anything, then you can go to court and talk to them. >> Okay. Well, you're still going to go to court with us. >> No, I'm not because I didn't steal anything. You're >> Okay. Are you going to get in the car or not? >> Why? >> Because you You're under arrest. We have to >> Why? Yeah. It's >> Just two steps. Come on. It's cold out. >> It's Oh my god. Can I keep it? >> Step up. Yep. Step up. >> Come on. >> There we go. >> [ __ ] >> Are you still going to refuse to give me your name? >> I don't know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. >> Okay. What What's your first and last name? >> I don't know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. >> Okay. Okay. All right. >> [snorts] >> Want to give your name now? >> I don't know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. You're full of >> You Are you still going to give me your name? >> I don't know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. >> In the end, the woman was charged with burglary and theft. Repeatedly denying the allegations and refusing to cooperate only made the situation worse. >> [music] >> Sometimes knowing your rights also means knowing when to let the facts speak for themselves. In the next case, what happens when you decide to play a game of cat and mouse with the officers? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Excuse me. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. >> Put your hands up. >> Officer. >> On April 6th, a woman was caught stealing and pushing a cart full of stolen merchandise out into the parking lot, prompting officers to respond. However, her attempt to flee immediately escalated the situation. >> Get down. Get down. >> I got a 30 in progress. >> GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. >> Pointed that at me, BRO. >> GET DOWN. ON THE GROUND. IN YOUR HAND. >> IT'S NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING. It's nothing. Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Excuse me. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Okay. Okay. Please don't hurt me, officer. Please. >> Trying to detain him. Hold on. Keep your hands behind your back. >> She immediately tried to flee when officers arrived, wearing a hat and a scarf covering her face. These actions raised further suspicions that she had indeed committed a crime, and even escorting her into custody proved difficult. >> Get up. >> I need a purse. >> Get up right now. >> I want a purse, I'm sorry. I want my purse, please. A purse, please, sir. >> We'll get them later. Come on. Come on. Come on. Get up. You boy or girl? >> I'm a girl. >> I am. I am. Not without checking. 13, she's detained. Can we get a female to back up? >> Can I take my mask off? Can I take my Can I take my mask off, sir? >> Sit still. Be quiet. >> Thank you. >> What was that that was on the ground? I don't know what it >> lighter. >> You'll find whatever that was. >> It's my lighter, sir. >> If you try to get up from here again, we're going to have a problem. >> She showed no shame and certainly no remorse. Instead of addressing the situation, she continued focusing on bizarre things such as her thirst. >> No. >> You didn't get no water? Does this look like a restaurant? >> It's a lighter. >> You shouldn't You shouldn't have pointed this at people. You should You pointed this at me when we were over there. >> Should have just smoked her ass. >> No. >> Turn around with that thing, you probably would have been dead. Anybody else? Looks like a gun from a distance, now, doesn't it? >> No. >> Okay, it does. I thought >> You thought it was a gun? >> We can't underestimate. We're equal opportunists. >> Can I have some water? >> Huh? Yeah, I'll get you a bottle of water. >> I need a safety ticket. >> We're getting a female out to pat you. Uh you want to stand up or or she I got to free her >> No, she ran. She split from us. >> Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, we got We got to We got to keep it like this. I'm sorry. >> Playing ring around >> She knows you with freaking basket. It's not about comfort. You ain't getting no water, is it? I could have got shot over that stupid lighter. >> Meanwhile, an officer went inside the store to verify her earlier actions. >> You're the one that flagged us down? So, what happened? What did she take anything or >> No, we just came in the store and she just kept walking or she kept walking. And I'm like, "Yo, stop." She just kept walking. >> Did she have anything >> in the shopping cart? >> Yeah. >> Did they bring the shopping cart in? Cuz it's Okay. So, this is all the stuff she was running out with? >> Yeah, 1,658.45. >> He just kept walking. He walking, I from this way and just kept walking and all of a sudden I'm right here. >> And you guys want to press charges, obviously? Who would make that determination? >> The managers. >> Hey, can you call my girlfriend, please? Yo. >> I don't know. You can >> I'll give you $100 right now. >> You ain't got no $100. Why are you stealing then? Make Make no sense. >> I was doing no such thing. I was mad. >> Good girl, good girl. Good girl, good girl. Don't get weird on me. What have I done to you? >> I'm sorry, baby. >> All right, it's straight. >> Hey, your mama Hey, come here. You call my girlfriend for me, please? You call your mama for me, please? >> This is not >> My girlfriend. >> Nobody cares. >> Nobody's going to help me? It's um 954 >> Goodbye. Come on. Come in the car. >> 954 >> Ain't nobody going to do >> Go away. You're under arrest. >> 954 >> She acted as if nothing serious had happened. And you know what's even more surprising? This woman actually had enough money to pay for the merchandise she stole. >> One Pay attention. This is your money. One 20, 40, 60 80, two, 20, 40 60, 80, three 20, 40, 60 80, four, 20 60, 80, five, 20 60, 80, six, 20 40, 60 All right, 80, seven 20, 40 80, two, 782. And you're out here stealing. Brilliant. All right, so This will be quick. We'll get you some AC. We'll type up some and try to get out of here. There you go. You're good. Let me go open that for you. >> In the end, the woman was charged with grand theft and resisting arrest without violence. [music] Having enough money to pay doesn't excuse stealing and trying to flee only makes the situation worse. Cooperating with officers and taking responsibility is always a better choice than turning a theft into a more serious legal problem. Next, this woman tries to play the race card, but will it actually work? >> I know well Target is so racist. Everything should have been paid for. >> Everything should have been paid for, but it but it wasn't. So, what what didn't what wasn't paid for? >> On the 10th of June, 2025, officers were dispatched to Target's loss prevention office after receiving a report of a theft. The suspect was reportedly a woman who had spent 4 hours wandering around the store. By the time officers arrived, the value of the incident had been confirmed. >> Just ringing it up? >> Yeah, I'm ringing up everything right now. Um >> you got so far? >> It's This is this. I just forgot the loofah, but that's everything. >> 181 >> Mine is like a dollar. >> Okay. So, 181 67 subtotal before tax. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All righty. >> So, she's in the office right now. >> something on video, too? >> Yeah. We have everything. >> Okay. Can I see the video too before I talk to her? >> Well, she's in there right now and that's where our cameras are. >> Oh, okay. Um what's the problem with you guys? Thanks. Okay. Have a good day. >> But she's asking me that. >> How's it going? >> Uh-oh. How you doing? >> Uh-oh. How you doing? How you doing? All right. You guys pulling that up? >> Yeah, so I have her trying to leave right now. >> I'll talk to you in a second, miss. Okay? Right now, you're not under arrest, but you're being detained, okay? >> Detained? >> You're being detained. >> So, that's her trying to leave. She did pay for a large portion of those items. Um specifically, what we know is she had two Hot Wheels items that she kept under the seat there while she was checking out at the register. When they looked away, she pulled both of those items out, put them into bags. Uh she still had a basket in there as well with some cosmetics, uh maybe some jewelry items. She went up to guest service. She paid for a bunch of items up there, but left all those items in the basket. So, then she moved to exit through those doors there that's when we stopped her. Uh we do also have a record of her with Target. Give me 1 second. I'll pull that up. My system is being dumbly slow today. And then making me office, and then today's incident where she was leaving with those items. >> For sure. >> So, it is going to take us a while to get the video together. She was in here for about 4 hours. >> Okay. 4 hours in one duration or over >> Yeah, 4 hours in one duration. Um the Do you have the receipt of those >> all this Does it look right? >> Yeah, so this looks right. We will double-check it against the other items, but this is all the stuff that was left in that basket uh along with the uh is that what the two toys on it? The two Hot Wheels? Yeah, with both Hot Wheels on there. >> Okay. >> Um so, we'll double-check to make sure there's not something else, but we're going to have to I'll actually have you go back out and just ring up. >> Sitting across from the officer was the suspect who had heard all the allegations against her, but couldn't deny the evidence. Not because she couldn't, but because she had a tactic of her own, playing the race card. >> Okay. All right, let's >> What are you going to talk to me about? >> Yeah, it's I know Well, Target is so racist. Um when I was in the Soon as I came through the door, that girl with that neon shirt ran to the ran to the front door, and I took a video of it. Um when I walked up to the front, no one was there. No asset protection, no nothing. And so, I was like, "Oh, okay." So, then I recorded him, and I recorded her walking up to that door. And I'm like, "Oh, so now they're profiling." And so, I went to that register register one, and I don't even know what he's talking about with the Hot Wheels cuz I did My total was uh $219. And $19. >> Mhm. >> And so, um when I was at the register, and I had a a basket and so the lady at the register was acting fancy that she wanted to go to lunch and the other older lady was like you can go ahead and go to lunch and she's like what you going to do with that basket? I'm like I'm going to get service. And so she put everything around the basket and nothing in the inside. So I went to guest service. I had two baskets full of clothes already waiting at guest service and so >> What is the service rate talking about? >> Over here at the service desk. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So >> for merchandise that you had in your cart? >> Um, that I was going to pay for. They had things on hold like uh, my kids clothes on hold. >> Oh, like over here to pick up? >> if I sit here for a second real quick? >> Uh, I think I did I leave it over there? >> In her attempt to defend herself, the woman hurled accusations at the employees portraying herself as the real victim. But was that really the case? The more she explained herself, the more she revealed the confusion surrounding her own actions. >> I don't know where my head is. >> Hey, do you have a >> I think I I literally just had it. I must have put it over there. Oh, this my kid. No, that's not it. >> [snorts] >> I don't know where I put it. >> So, um, I rode up to guest service. I did the first basket and then the Indian girl woman came and I asked her to get two kitty pools for me and so she got two kitty pools and then she I guess she decided to help the other girl. And while she was helping the other girl, she just put the pool right on top of my basket and I was check out the basket. She just put the pool right on top. There were no bags, there like nothing was just sitting wide open from register one. >> Mhm. >> So when I went to guest service, um, bring up all my clothes and my houseware stuff. >> Okay, but typically you're supposed to pay for all the stuff over there at the register before you go to the place that's probably right next to the exit, right? >> She was complaining about going to lunch. Register one. She didn't want to work anymore. >> Mhm. So, she >> So, so you walked past? >> Mhm. >> So, you just walked past and say okay? >> No, she she asked me about my basket. She said it was okay to take it to the customer service. >> Okay. >> Cuz it was already in the basket. >> Mhm. >> So, when I was at guest service, after she got the pool, she just put it right on top of my basket. >> Okay. >> And so, I paid for everything thinking that I about the damn basket. She said, "I'm working with the other lady." >> so what happened after? >> So, um after I'm going to go get into my car and these two people >> suddenly we went from the service desk to getting into your car. >> I paid for my stuff at customer service. >> Okay, what about the other $180 that you didn't pay for? >> $180? >> Yeah, that's what the receipt said. >> Of what? >> So, what's what's it There were various toys, other things that we had there. >> It was everything that was inside. >> Let me see. >> None of the cards are being paid for. >> Now, faced with the receipt, the woman looked confused by the numerous items listed on it and her excuses were gradually losing their effectiveness. >> So, Toya, what's your birthday? >> Like I told them like I can pay Like only thing was supposed to be in there was the makeup. >> Okay, what's what's a good Okay, what's a good phone number for you, miss? So, there's some things that you're disagreeing that you stole, but some things that you did walk out with? >> Yeah, so I I don't know how she she forgot What is that HH basket? Cuz that white basket she's supposed to have scanned. Is that what's on here? >> Okay, what do you remember walking out with that you didn't pay for? >> That's the the room sprays. >> Oh, honey, but it says HH closet. >> Yeah, that's that's the brand. >> Oh, okay. >> So, Toya, what do you remember walking out with that you didn't pay for? >> Everything should have been paid for. >> Everything should have been paid for, but it but it wasn't. So, what what didn't What wasn't paid for? >> The the basket that had the makeup >> Mhm. >> and a bronzer and a jacket that was supposed to be $15. >> Okay. >> Everything else was should have been paid for. >> Okay. That's That's what we got you on video, obviously, walking out with with merchandise that some of it wasn't paid for. >> was inside the basket for her to ring up. >> Mhm. >> But when I'm working with the one lady for her to ring up the clothes, imagine me you paying for one thing and then a lady another lady has a big pool and she's like, "I'm just going to sit it on top of your cart." And she just sits it on top of the cart. >> Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. You're obviously concealing stuff. So, just uh hang out with me with my partner for 1 second. I'm going to be right back, okay? >> Yeah, cuz I told him like if it's a whatever it is, I can pay for it. Like, I don't even know how that happened. >> At this point, paying for the allegedly stolen merchandise was no longer an option and the officers were ready to make their decision. >> Just from what I'm seeing, just report-wise, placing her in custody. You're going to go back to the Wheaton Police Department, okay? I got to look into a couple things and see what's going on with and see if there's a see what situation we're working with. >> Okay. >> I don't Okay, I don't have access to that right now, so we're going to have to take a look at that. You're going to come with us, okay? So, what I think should probably happen with >> Yeah. I mean, a dollar. We do it for a dollar. That's That's what retail theft is, okay? Um so, real quick, you bought some food and stuff like that. It might be best that maybe you put that back on the shelf as your refund or something. I don't know what would be the best way. >> item from like Chipotle or something. >> Oh, okay. >> brought that in with her. Uh all the other items out there that she paid for can go with you guys or >> How much stuff is there? Cuz it looked like >> some plastic uh pools as well. So, she's got quite a bit. >> Right. Like, this doesn't even make sense. Like, >> Okay. >> this lady puts >> guys have a Do you guys have a way of holding on to that? >> We can hold on to it. We don't usually, but I can we can absolutely hold on to it. >> Okay. So, yeah, that's the tricky thing is we don't want to bring back >> They won't do anything with it. We'll set it aside and make sure it's here. >> Okay. Okay. Well, I've got you real quick. >> other >> is we can't have her come back in for it. >> Okay, do you have a card by any chance? Can I grab one from you? >> Okay. All right, let's go. >> have cuz like usually they give you a ticket. Like what's going on? >> No, there could be felony uh charges on something like this. So. >> A felony charge? >> Mhm. Yeah, if you've been this could be felony point of at this point. Yep. That's kind of how things go. So, yeah, sometimes we do tickets, but probably not for this circumstance. >> Latoya, can you stand up? Are you able to stand? >> Like this is not fair. Like >> stuff right here? >> Yeah, this is all my stuff. >> Okay. >> She was then escorted to the patrol car, but it seems she still wasn't ready to go into custody without a fight. >> If you want to talk to me, I can read them to you. >> Nope. I'm too big for that strap. >> Okay. That's okay. Why don't we just get your leg in there and then we'll work out We'll work on that after, okay? Do Do you need help? You got it. >> Well, I can't sit up with the strap. >> Okay. No, the strap is is way up here. Oh, yes, I see what you're saying. Okay. I'll do this. How about this? There we go. >> [laughter] >> It's a long time since this happened. And And And no reading of my Miranda rights. >> Okay. Well, like I told you, Latoya, you were detained. I asked if you wanted to talk to me about the situation and you did, so. >> You never read me my Miranda rights. >> When you're being detained, I don't have to. Are you able to Are you able to scoot a little bit to the left? >> You said I was not being arrested. I was just being detained to get get information. >> You were not in custody, so there was no need to read Miranda. >> Right. And even when you >> when you're in custody and we're going to ask you questions about the investigation. >> He did. He has. >> Okay. >> He has asked me questions. >> All right, here's the thing, Latoya. If you're just going to argue with us, we're just not going to talk to you, okay? So, that might be the best way. >> Okay. >> I fine if we don't buckle >> Okay. >> Let's do that. >> The woman was charged with retail theft and trespass from Target. The more you try to shift blame instead of taking responsibility, >> [music] >> the harder it becomes to defend your own actions. Confusion and excuses cannot erase the evidence, and even a seemingly simple theft can lead to serious consequences. What happens when this woman has to watch the camera footage and see her own actions for herself? >> Can I see that? Can I seriously see that? I've never had any any problems with the law. I've never had any problems with nobody. >> On the 28th of October, 2024, officers received a report about a woman at a Walmart in Orange County, Florida. She was suspected of skipping the scan on multiple items, with the total estimated at 29 items. Here's what happened when the officer arrived at the scene. >> What's going on? >> Um a whole lot of skip scan. >> I'm sorry. >> Skip scan. Skip scan. We're still going through the buggy with a full buggy. Um So, she skip scan the majority of the stuff inside the shopping cart. >> Okay. >> Do you have a total yet? >> No, we're working on that right now. >> All right, appreciate it. Is that already? >> Yeah. But, you can see this double one coming up like one. >> Yeah, yeah. >> And then, this is a set right here, too. And it's it's just >> Okay, do you have a total or not? >> Another one right there. >> Yeah. Okay, thank you. She don't know. >> Fast forward it to 155962. That's an intervention right there. That's when I called it. >> Can I say something? >> Sure. >> It was not my intention to not scan any of my >> Okay. I just got off of work and I'm honestly just >> [music] >> I don't know what to do. >> Shortly after the officer approached the female suspect, she seemed to have difficulty denying the evidence, but that didn't mean she was ready to accept the consequences as she soon began asking for a way to change the outcome. >> You want to talk? >> Do you think I want to fix this? I don't. >> What happened? >> [screaming] >> I got off of work and I needed to come to the store and shop for what I needed for the household with my mom. And I I don't know. I I just I honestly I I was just distracted. I don't >> You're distracted. You missed 29 items, $404. >> For how much? >> $404. >> I missed $400 worth of stuff. >> Really? >> Can I see that? Can I seriously see that? >> Yes. Faced with solid evidence, the woman seemed to struggle to find the words to defend herself, allowing the officer to quickly make the decision to arrest her. >> What's happening to me? >> Can you stand up? >> Yes, but what's happening? >> You're going to go to jail tonight. Can you stand up and turn around? >> I can't pay. >> No, it's too late for that. Can you stand up? >> I didn't I'm not I'm not resisting. I just >> No, I get it. >> No, I didn't I gave the man my receipt. >> I get that, but you still stole and they want to press charges. So. >> There is no way >> No. No. >> Do you want to take that off, ma'am? >> Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. >> You want to do it yourself? You got that there? >> Can I hold on to the bag? >> I'll do it for you. >> Okay. >> Yeah. You like your bracelet or whatever? >> Okay, what do you think? >> Put it just like that. >> WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND THAT WAS WITH YOU? >> 155, I got one detained. Can I have a female officer for a bathroom? All right, good. You need to sit down. Sit down. >> Oh. >> You can sit back down. >> Well, I don't I didn't have to call them. >> This is your phone? >> No. >> That's yours? >> Yeah, that's hers. >> All right, hang on, bud. >> With 29 unscanned items worth over $400, some of the merchandise would also have to be discarded. At this point, the officer informed her of the store's decision. >> Cuz I can't search you, so >> Yes, I understand. I appreciate that. Thank you. >> Of course. So, I don't know if you heard him, but you're going to be trespassed for 1 year also. So, for 1 year, you can't come back here. >> Okay. >> If you come back, even if you're just in the parking lot, you can get arrested and go to jail. All right? >> I understand that. >> And that's just this Walmart. You can go to other Walmarts, but not this one, all right? >> Can I pay and BE TRESPASSED? >> FOREVER 21. >> IS IT THE SAME THING as that? Who is that? >> It's my first time. >> 918 >> 918? >> Yep. >> You got the same exact thing? You can find them with that? >> Yep. >> Is it our company's thing or not? >> It's It's our It's our It's our software program. >> We'll tell you. We'll We'll We'll We'll tell you in a minute. I didn't know that. >> It's really >> Yeah, we're going to pull up every transaction she's ever done. >> Yep. >> It's pretty wild. >> This video makes it nice. You can find all the additional charges. >> Yep. Just watch [music] this. >> I almost missed that. You're screwing my life. >> Probably 54 4155 [clears throat] >> You need your phone? >> We're almost 97. >> I know. >> In the end, [music] she was charged with third-degree felony theft under Florida statute section 812.014. Distraction is not an excuse when repeated actions show a clear pattern of wrongdoing. Taking responsibility means acknowledging the evidence rather than relying on explanations that cannot account for the facts. Next, [music] here's what happens when criminal behavior meets a sense of entitlement. >> Police is going to get involved. >> Can I please go home? That's all I want to do is go home. Take me to jail. I'm homeless. >> On the 17th of April, 2025, a leopard print lady showed up at Walmart hunting for merchandise to stuff into her purse while keeping an eye on her surroundings, prompting officers to be called in. But what these officers didn't know was that things would quickly get wild. >> I told you. I told you. the cameras so you can >> Can you delete this video from my phone? >> Ma'am, this is my phone. Would you like Would you like me to delete the video? >> Can I Can I see the Can I see the camera? Can I see >> We need to go to the hospital right here, ma'am. Only she's going to get involved in this. >> Don't grab me. Hey. You guys don't have any proof. You don't have any proof. >> Ma'am, you >> Can you let me go, please? Can you let me go, please, so I can DO THAT? SIR. SIR. SIR. YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE. YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE. SIR. YOU YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHANCE. >> You didn't give me a chance. >> You did not. You won't even get off of me. How can I do that? >> Well, you're laying on me on the back. >> Sir, can you Can you please get my shoe on? You You don't have to Sir, this is This is how you guys treat people. This is how you guys treat Get your elbow off of me. Get your elbow off of me. I'm just trying to get my shoe on. You don't have to be a You guys are laughing at me. You guys are laughing at me. You guys are laughing at me and and somebody >> Thanks. And when I'm done this >> Can you please get my shoe on, please? Thank you. Can Can you please put my shoe on? >> I'll help you over. And as soon as he stands you up, you can get your shoe on. That was unnecessary. >> No, it wasn't. Cuz you didn't have to do that to me. Thank you very much. >> fighting me the whole time. >> I was not fighting you at all. You literally grabbed me and snatched me against the the ground. >> What? >> The woman's words were full of accusations against the officers. Despite being the one who caused the chaos, she was trying to portray herself as the victim. She even went on to request a medical evaluation herself. >> You [ __ ] You straight put your knee in my back and my spine and I feel that I have a spine injury. You're biggest You're putting your knee in my spine. >> Are you injured at >> help me, please? >> Are you injured at all? >> Yeah, I would like to get checked out. >> Yeah, they're on their way. >> That's fine. Can you please help me get up? >> I can't help you get up if you can't help me. >> I need two people to stand me up. Sir, you just put your knee in my spine and I have a spine injury. >> Okay, are you able to actually assist me? Cuz I'm not I'm not >> you? I don't have my hands. >> No, use your legs to stand up. >> I can't. >> Okay, then I can't just lift you up. You're not 5 >> [ __ ] And you're not 5 lbs either. Your big ass got on the top of me. >> Just wait and I'll get another officer over here to help me. >> No, it's You you're detaining me. You're detaining me and you can't even tell me what the reason why. >> You shoplifted. They told you. So, what are your injuries? Is it just your back? >> I told you what they are. I don't have to say nothing else to you. >> Okay. >> Can I make a phone call, please? And what are you arresting me for? What am I being arrested for? >> Obstruction and theft third. >> Theft third? Theft third is what? For what exactly? You don't even know what I >> It's shoplifting. >> You don't even know what I stole. And and furthermore, isn't there a limit for when you take people to jail? >> It sounds like you're pretty familiar with it. >> It's remarkable how this woman refused to understand the officer's explanation of her alleged offenses while repeatedly asserting her civil rights. Clearly, she knew what she was doing and she even brought race into the situation later on. >> Thank you. Okay, and that's fine. No, I'm not treated like everybody else. I'm a black woman in America. >> Oh, please stop. Please stop. >> Yeah, you're black. And you seen you seen him just throw me on the ground. >> No, I didn't see anybody. I didn't see. Please let me see. >> I'm not talking to you, sir. >> Well, I don't care if you're talking to me. I'm talking to you. >> I was talking to that lady there. >> Oh, okay. Oh, okay. >> She took underwear shirts and she >> I did not take underwear. I paid for my underwear. >> That's what I'm saying. She took underwear and underwear shirts and she stole the shirt and paid for the underwear. That's what I was saying, ma'am. >> Brother, was there anything else? >> There's nothing else. It's just shirts. And you don't take You don't have You do not have the authority to go through my through my >> No, I did not authorize that. >> Exercise your right to remain silent, then. >> Listen, I did not authorize him to go through my items. >> have to. You're under arrest for shoplifting. >> what? And I didn't authorize you, and you have the wrong ID. >> Oh, my god. >> Sir? >> No, no one is going to We're going to stop talking to you. >> I can go down there. >> You have the wrong ID. Sir, just Why are you going to get all that stuff out of my purse? It's just a couple shirts. >> "It's just a couple of shirts," she said as if it were no big deal, but those were the stolen items she had been concealing. She continued to show her entitlement by complaining about the officers searching her purse. >> Don't go through my purse. You're not That's it. That's all I have. You don't have to go through my purse. Marijuana is legal. You can put that back in my purse. You have no right to go through the rest of my items. >> to advise you of your rights, okay? >> No, I'm not. He has Why are you going through the rest of my purse? >> Argue it in court. That's your legal right. >> Okay, that's fine. I will do that. >> I'm going to advise you of your rights right now. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us at this time? >> Listen, I will I will cooperate, but I don't like how he's going through my purse.

So, because for obstruction and theft third, through them, >> listen. I I every You can just >> So, for that reason, but I need to actually look through this. >> Take me to jail.

Can you please put me put my stuff Can I please go home? That's all I want to do is go home. Take me to jail. I'm homeless. Like, I'm homeless. That's why I took a few shirts. >> Where's home if you're homeless? >> What do you mean, where's home? >> You said you're home, but you want to be taken home. >> in my car. In my car. That's where I belong, in my car. >> Which car is yours outside? >> Sir, so you're taking me to jail? >> Yes. >> For what? >> For obstruction. You fought me. >> I did not fight you, sir. You are >> Yeah, I gave you a lawful order to stop. You said no. >> She still showed no remorse whatsoever, and with that attitude, the officers made their decision. >> I was not resisting. >> Well, I can tell by your attitude from the moment I met you that it's probably more plausible that you were resisting and arguing. >> not, sir. He literally slammed me against the the the door. >> Okay, well, like I told you before, then just argue it in court. >> Okay. Those are all my cards. So, why do you have >> something in there you're worried that I'm going to find? >> No, I'm not. But >> don't want me to keep searching. >> Because this is my belongings. >> All right. >> I don't need you to go through my pockets, sir. >> under arrest, so yeah, you have to be searched incident to arrest. >> Can you please open answer that, please, so I can talk to him? >> Nope. You're under arrest. You don't get a phone call. Officer Cardoza, would you like to do a search incident to arrest on this gal? So, I'm going to explain to you real quick. He's going to stand you up, and he's going to search your person per law. So, he'll have you stand up. He's going to search your pockets. Do you have anything else that you shouldn't have on you? Do you? Perfect. I like the way you responded. >> Can I have a cigarette? >> He's just doing the search real quick and then just one second. >> Yeah, do you have already? >> Okay, do you want me to or you want to do it at the hospital today? >> Sir, I I want to go home. I want to go home, sleep in my car. That's where I live. >> So, what I'm worried about is your medical condition right now. Are you in Are you in back pain? >> I do have pain. >> Do you want to go to the hospital? Okay. You think so, we don't see anything based on the eval that we're seeing. >> Okay. >> But But based on what happened, if you'd like to go to the hospital to get an x-ray? You don't want that? Okay. All right. No problem. >> In the end, the woman was charged with theft and obstruction. People may have valid concerns about how they are treated by law enforcement, but refusing to cooperate and turning a straightforward situation into a confrontation can make things worse. >> On my soul, I hold that old up here. On my soul, I'm going to put my hands on them. >> You're being placed under arrest. >> For what? For what? Why are y'all putting me in >> On the 23rd of March, 2026, while everything seemed peaceful inside Walmart, a fight broke out between two customers in the parking lot, prompting officers to respond. But things appeared to be more serious than expected based on the first person's account. >> I think she might have got in that black truck that just walked that just pulled away. >> What what happened about this gold car? What about this gold car? >> They left her here. Well, the gold car, they left her here and they took her. >> So, you're not the complainant? >> Huh? >> You're Nothing happened to you? >> Yes, she grabbed me and ripped my jewelry off and she choked my cousin. >> Okay. >> She's crazy as hell. She's got a black bathing suit. >> So, is there more than one person? >> What? With her? >> She's >> up there outside and by herself for a long time. >> No, I'm asking if whoever did this, was there one more than one person or was there one person? >> the only one attacking us. >> Wait, and what car did she get into? >> And and she had another friend who was with her that they left. >> They left. >> Okay, so so this is a black truck is the one that she got into? >> know. That black truck that was sitting there whenever they saw you pulling in, they took off and I don't know where he's gone now. It was that truck that was all >> What? What? Where? >> There she is. She's in between those two cars right there. >> Where? Oh. 10-4. I believe I'm in aisle 14. >> This 23-year-old woman was at the center of the ongoing dispute. When approached, [music] she repeatedly tried to portray herself as the victim while bringing up details that only made the situation more complicated. >> What's going on? Oh, WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR CAR? >> OKAY, PLEASE. Thank you. She's not going to do this yelling at me. >> No, I don't want to yell at you. Don't touch me. I'm not trying to touch you like that. >> No, I I don't want to >> I'm trying to be respectful for you. >> What happened? >> First of all, she's been on the phone with me the whole time.

Um >> Her bracelet's broken somewhere. >> The visible injuries on the victim suggested that this incident could have serious legal consequences, especially given that both women were over 65. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old woman was still struggling to control her emotions. >> Second. >> Oh, no. >> I said I said just calm down. It's okay. We're going to get everything figured out, okay? Just hang tight right here. It's okay. Just breathe.

Okay, well, tell her to come back up this on my cell. What's crazy is she called back in front of me and she she got mad at me because I accidentally bumped into her car. >> All right, just hang tight for us, okay? >> No, I'm going to beat y'all ass, bro. >> No, don't say that. Come right here for me. Let's stay out of the car for just a second, okay? >> Given the woman's increasingly erratic behavior, officers couldn't be sure what she might do next. So, they moved quickly to arrest her. However, she wasn't going to make it easy for them. >> All right, come on and step out of your car for me, face the car for me, okay? >> No, what's that? >> All right, just stop. >> No, just stop. What do I mean? >> You're being placed under arrest. >> For what? For what? Why are y'all pushing >> Give me Florida. >> Stop resisting. >> Okay. >> Calm down. >> Y'all are full of >> Calm down. >> Y'all are full of >> Calm down. This is more difficult than it needs to be, okay? >> Y'all are full of [ __ ] bro. BRO, LET GO. Y'ALL ARE [ __ ] >> STOP. >> LET >> [screaming] >> GO OF ME, [ __ ] >> YOU'RE NOT A KID. >> BRO. HEY, Y'ALL. Y'ALL ARE FULL OF [ __ ] >> JUST HANG TIGHT. Just relax. >> No, y'all are full of Y'all are full of [ __ ] Hey, y'all. Hey, Y'all are full of [ __ ] bro. >> All right, come on. >> Bro, stop. >> All right, stop. >> Okay, stop. Let go of me. >> of the car. >> Can you please let go of me? >> No, ma'am. I got flex cuffs in my squad car right here. Yeah, let's go. >> Can I call my mama? >> I got it, yeah. Just face this way for me, okay? >> I'm just trying to get the Can you get the hair out of my throat? >> Yeah, here you go. There you go. >> Thank you. >> Yep. Hang tight, okay? >> I didn't do [ __ ] to y'all. >> I didn't say you did. >> Y'all tried to treat me like a piece of [ __ ] >> Nobody treated you like >> No, yes you have. >> Face the vehicle. >> I haven't did nothing to y'all. I haven't did nothing to y'all, bro. >> Face the vehicle. >> Goodbye. >> Just when officers thought they had successfully restrained her, she managed to slip [music] out of her handcuffs, further [snorts] demonstrating how difficult she was to control and raising more concerns about her potential to become aggressive. >> Another set of cuffs on you real quick, okay? And those ones come off of you, all right? Are you okay with that? We're going to end up doing that, okay? >> I guess so. >> Okay. Can you do me a favor and just face that way so we >> We'll have her get out so we can cut those ones off. >> All right, yeah. Hop on out, we'll cut those off of you. >> You got shears on you? You got shears? >> Uh they're in my car. >> [ __ ] >> No. >> Behind your back. >> I'm not going to fight y'all. Don't Don't Don't grab me with aggressive >> I'm not grabbing >> you aggressively, but I'm going to control you because you've been having issues before. Put your other hand behind your back. Put your other hand behind your back. >> What if >> Hold her arm, please. We got to trim these off. Here you go. You just cut that off her wrist. >> It didn't got to be that tight. >> Stop. >> I'm not doing nothing. >> In the end, the 23-year-old woman was arrested for battery on person 65 or older, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. >> [snorts] >> When emotions take over, aggression and resistance can turn a dispute into a much more serious legal situation. Cooperating with officers and allowing them to investigate the facts [music] is far better than escalating the confrontation and risking additional charges. >> I need to discipline my child and that way he knows how to act in society and not the way that he has been doing. >> Did you see her like physically like hit the kid? >> hear it. >> You heard it? That's pretty far. >> On the 6th of February, 2025, officers [snorts] were dispatched to Walmart following reports of an altercation. The suspect was believed to be a mother trying to discipline her son, but in an inappropriate way. When officers arrived, tensions were still high. >> Hello. Hi, my name's Officer Mitchell, Farmington Police Department. Do you guys want to finish or do you want to wait till you get outside? >> May I ask what this is about, Officer? >> Yeah, so do you want to do this outside or right now? >> I mean, I can scan and do this like >> Okay. >> I don't know what they told you. I don't know what you saw, but yes, I did discipline my son by smacking him in the mouth. He's being really disrespectful right now. >> Mhm. >> And as I told the other guys, uh we're just Okay, almost done. We're going to go home. >> Okay. >> Because he's been real mouthy and real disrespectful throughout the whole time we were in here. So, that was just only the one time and like I told them, he's fine. We're okay. I'm just getting the stuff that we need so we can go home and make dinner cuz this one needs to be in bed by 8:00 so he can wake up early for school tomorrow. >> All right, so do you want to finish that we'll talk outside? >> May I be detained, sir? >> You are. Yep, you are. >> May I reach into my purse and get my cell phone? >> Yeah, you're good. >> He'll be here soon. He's over at Defined Fitness. >> Okay. >> And he's going to pick him up and take him home. >> Okay. >> May I ask if this is going to be a 24-hour hold or anything like that? The reason why I ask is cuz I work at the casino and I have to let them know if I'm being detained. >> Mhm. >> So >> So, what I'm going to do is I just want to get your statement and get his statement. >> Okay. >> All right. So, right now you're just a detainee. I'm not going to put you in handcuffs for now. If you can save that video footage for us cuz we're we'll look at it after we get their statements. >> Okay. >> Um and then we'll go. >> Her family member barely got a chance to speak as she repeatedly talked over him. Once [snorts] outside, she explained what happened and insisted that what she had done was simply educating. >> Well, normal. >> Mhm. Everything was fine up until we got into the back. Um when we got into the back, um I had gotten after him for saying what the and he was going to cuss out the end. >> Mhm. >> And so I told him, "No, we don't do that." And it just progressed from there and I took the cart. So, since he was very upset that I took the cart, he um was like, "Well, it's not fair. It's not fair. Give me the cart. You said I could push it." And I'm like, "No, we're done. We're We're just getting what we need." And So, then um started crying. I was like, "You need to stop. You need to stop crying." >> Mhm. >> And I was like, "You're 10 years old. Go over there. Go over there. Go Go cry over there." And he just kept crying and following me, which you know, all kids do. >> Right. >> And so I was like, "Okay, well, you need to I was like, "Damien, you need to stop." And I was getting pretty frustrated, so I was trying to separate. Then he started talking back saying, "I'm a bad mom. I hate you." And I'm So, you know, the number kid stuff. >> So, let me just advise you of your rights cuz I'm I I have to ask you specific questions. >> All right. >> It doesn't mean you're going to jail or you're in trouble. I just have to ask some questions that pertain to the matter. >> She fully believed in her way of raising her family member, even though it made her relative burst into tears. She [snorts] later admitted that it had happened. >> He was trying to push the cart. >> Yeah, he was trying to push the cart and I told him, "No." cuz he was already getting When he gets upset, he starts ramming things, start kicking it, which he already did also kick too when we were in the bacon aisle. And I was like, "That's enough." >> He kicked the what? >> He kicked the cart. >> Okay. >> And I was like, "That's enough." And because he does it when I'm not looking and I'm like, "Now that I'm not looking at you Now that I'm looking at you, do it again." >> Mhm. >> And just to kind of put like, "You need to stop that." And so it's like, "Okay." And then so we went to the meat aisle and I was like, "We need to go get some meat. You need to stop. You're 10 years old. You shouldn't be crying like this." >> Mhm. >> And so then that's when um the manager came and he claimed that that a guess or not a guess, a customer was also there. I was like, I got frustrated cuz I was like, "I know what you mean." I was like, you mean me >> The mean customer or do you mean employee? And he's like, well, it doesn't matter. So then I was already frustrated from him. So I was keeping everything monotoned and I was like, I understand your frustration. I appreciate it, but I need to discipline my child and that he knows how to act in society and not the way that he has been doing. >> Okay. Where was he at when he smacked him? >> We were at the milk area where the employee was standing at. >> Okay. >> Because that's when he started talking back to me and then just I literally right in the mouth. >> Was it close or kind of like with >> Kind of far away? >> The back of your palm or the front? >> No, just just the tip of my fingers. >> Okay, so the tip of your fingers. Okay. You know, I've heard parents doing that to their kids, but it's only if they're either cussing or just acting a fool, right? Was he saying any like cuss words or anything like that? >> Uh he was about ready to cuz he's got a cousin that does that. She says what the what the [ __ ] and stuff like that. So I'm trying to get break him out of that habit. She only hung out with her once yesterday and that was her like 3 hours. And so that he re-picked it back up. All the other times that I've disciplined him before, it's like, okay, we're taking away your tablet, taking away your TV, you know, the gentle parenting stuff. >> The loss prevention office then provided the surveillance footage and witness statements detailing what they had seen during the incident. >> 360 >> And then they walk over here and you can see her swing at him. >> Yeah, she did say it happened in the milk aisle, so I do it again. >> Yeah, it's >> Very very great footage. She she stopped swinging at him. >> Okay. >> And I said to him a few times to get it. >> That's it. The person that called in, do we talk to them yet and see like >> Um >> Big guy. Big guy kind of saw it. >> Like what kind of hit was this? Like was it like a smack or was it like >> it was close fist. >> Close fist. >> And multiple people said >> When I spoke to her, she said she just did that. But from what I see now, it looks like a kind of looks like she kind of went all the way across. She kind of like >> She swings at him. >> So y'all keep doing it until maybe >> What did she say? She said the kid was the cart and then he was like badmouthing her. >> He's not going to buy the cart though. >> Yeah, I know. When I and you played it from the beginning, he wasn't pushing the cart, but I guess she was trying he was trying to ask her like, "Let me push the cart." And she said, "No." I'm going to go talk with the RP. I might take this one. >> It turned out the boy was not as troublesome as his mother had claimed, and an employee also gave a clear statement confirming her use of force. >> Can you tell me what happened? >> So, I kind of heard her yelling at him over by the milk area, and she was just like, "Get in my face. Right there. You just get in my face." I don't know what they are arguing about, but all I kept hearing him saying was, "I just want the cart. I just want the cart." Or go to the car, somewhere like that. And then she passed by me and stood right by where the eggs originally are, and then I heard like I was pretending like I was scanning cuz I felt like I needed to like pay attention to what was happening. Mhm. >> And then next thing you know, I just heard this big like whack. I don't know what he like It was a punch. I don't know if it was a slap. I just know she hit him in the face. >> Okay. >> I stood there and I looked at her and she's like, "Do you have a problem? What's your issue?" And I said, "No, ma'am. I'm just making sure he's okay." And she's like, "Well, clearly he is." And I said, "Yes, ma'am. He sure is." But I was trying to like see where he where she went through the store. >> Mhm. >> So, I didn't make it noticeable that I was following her. >> Okay. >> Sorry. I'm like like nervous. >> So, did you you heard it, but did you see >> I didn't actually see the hit, but I just heard the the voice. >> How far do you think you were approximately from where you heard it? >> so, when she hit him, it was probably like from here to there. >> Okay. Can you tell me what happened? >> Okay. So, I was um so, like the butter would be right here, and I was walking towards the milk. >> Okay. >> I heard somebody yelling, and so I happened to look up just as she full on hit him right in the eye. >> You're her, right? >> Mhm. >> Where was he standing at? >> Like right here. So, it would have just been like that. >> Okay. >> And she was kind of like she was like this, but it kind of sideways, and he was facing her. And there was a Walmart employee like right behind them and she was doing something. She looked at her and she was like, "What's your problem?" or something started yelling at her. And I've never ever I mean, I have four children and I've never seen a kid get hit like that. So, I like panicked. So, I called 911. I tried to follow her around the store. I ended up finding her up by the meat. The little boy was yelling at her and he was like, "You do not get to hit me in the face. Like, you're a bad mom." And I was just trying to get somebody in here. Like I said, I've never ever ever seen a kid get hit like that. >> Do you think the mother's method could really be considered education when some of the people at the scene, who were mothers themselves, showed no sympathy for what she had done? >> Did you see her like physically like hit the kid? >> hear it. >> You heard it? You could hear it? >> That's pretty far distance, right? >> Yeah, it was loud. Honestly, I went home after here and I was like just sick to my stomach. It was like I just wanted to go home cuz I was like this this is very Yeah, after that the kid kind of just was like, "I don't want to be here. I don't want to I'm just going to walk behind you. I don't want to be seen with you. I just don't want to be around you." >> Which is very understandable, but his face was red. He was just sniffing and crying. >> Was he crying or anything? >> Yes. I took a picture and that's his little face. I was like >> Okay. >> Back with the mother, officers confronted her with all the witness statements, making it clear that she had to face the truth. >> Be honest with me. I've seen the camera footage, witnesses in the area. It wasn't just a little tap on the mouth. >> But to me it was cuz I literally just went like that. I wasn't watching cuz to me I just felt down the tips of my fingers. That's literally all I felt. So, that's why I said tip of my fingers. >> I'm going to be honest with you, all right? So, you're going to go to jail tonight for what happened. Okay. That's why we're having dad take the kiddo away cuz I don't like doing that in front of kids, you know? It's a hard situation. Does he have like a special Is he >> He's autistic with ADHD and epilepsy. We've been managing it for a while now, and I understand that his autism is what's causing this, too. He does take medication. >> So, that's what's going to happen tonight. Uh There's just There's just a lot of witnesses. >> I understand that, but this is my kid. I mean, small lapse of judgment. It just I like I >> So, I do understand if if you kind of like just went over and kind of tapped him on the mouth, and nobody heard it, but there's a lot of people that heard you smack >> I don't know if it was because like literally I behind his back cuz I don't know if that sound came from his mouth like if it was open or anything, but literally I just >> He's good? Okay. So, just go to dinner. Just for transport back home. It's not Friday, so you'll see a judge. We'll let Dad know about it, okay? >> But, the reason why I need my phone is >> The mother was charged with child abuse. A parent [snorts] should never let frustration turn into physical violence. When trying to correct a child's behavior, staying calm and using appropriate consequences can prevent the situation from escalating into something far more serious. >> You are detained right now pending an investigation for shoplifting, all right? >> Can I just go back and pay for this stuff? >> No, so we're going to go to the office right now, but >> I just I'm very low income. I'm a single mom raising >> On the 28th of July, 2025, police received a report from Walmart after staff caught a woman on surveillance deliberately skip scanning multiple items. When officers arrived, they immediately stopped the suspect just after she had passed the final point of sale, leaving her visibly shaken. >> Ma'am, just leave the car right here, and then walk with me. Cuz we got you on camera right now skipping. So, right now I'm Officer La Rosa, Chris Police Department. You are detained right now pending an investigation for shoplifting, all right? >> Can I just go back and pay for this stuff? >> No, so we're going to go to the office right now, but I'm letting you know that I will watch you on camera, so I'm telling you right now you are detained at this time. >> Because I didn't ring up certain things. >> Yeah, so I'm I'm I'm going to put you in handcuffs as long as you promise you that. >> Okay. If you do anything other than cooperate, I will use force upon you, okay? >> Can I choose to pay for this stuff? >> that, cuz you already left all points of sale. So, let's go ahead and walk over here. Now, I'm telling you right now, >> It's not No, I'm going to go with you. >> I want you to listen right now. I'm escorting you over here. You have to talk to them in there. I got you. But, I'm telling you right now, anything other than cooperation, I will use force upon you, okay? >> Okay. >> So, let's walk this way. I got you. I'm just letting you know, ma'am. I'm just advising you now. Consider that as a warning. >> Yeah, no, no. >> Okay, cool. >> From the woman's reaction, she silently admitted to the theft. Shortly afterward, inside the loss prevention office, she revealed the reason behind her actions. >> So, right now, like I said, we got you on camera, holding clothes with not and not scanning all items. Also, the sunglasses that are in your purse. >> Okay. >> All right. Is there any other items that you have on you that you attempted to take from the store? No? >> Yes, sir. >> It's just what we saw? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. >> Can I see the receipt? >> Yeah. And are are you the management or >> I work for you. >> Oh, okay. Well, >> Okay. And then, I need your bag right now to make sure that there's no other items in there that you concealed. >> Just my personal items. I have a bunch of hair clips, cuz I break them all the time, and >> you could take it out for me, please. >> My tones, my >> Yeah. >> Are you going to give me a refund for what you paid for, since I'm giving everything as tickets? >> Okay. >> And then, you're going to be charged for everything. And then, what is going to happen today? Like, am I going to get a citation and have to go to court or I I have a special needs daughter at home with my daughter-in-law that I need to take care of. >> I'm very sorry for that, ma'am, but you decided to steal, so you will be going to jail. >> I understand. >> So, today you will be going to jail. >> Are you serious? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. >> It's an arrestable offense. So, what's the reason you for you trying to take the items? You have money to purchase it. >> I just I'm very low income. I'm a single mom raising I have my my two daughters. One is special needs and and very sick right now. I just >> Does she put other tags on some of them? You said she replaced some of the tags? >> Yeah, all of these that I'm taking out are the ones that she was putting on. >> Okay. Just so I could have that uh for my report. >> Just I mean, I'm just very low income and just I don't know. I've never done this before. >> What did you think of her reason for stealing? Could you accept it? Whatever the answer, her crime could not be excused. >> [music] >> The officer then explained the consequences she was about to face. Also, Walmart Walmart would like you to be trespassed from all of them. So, you are never welcome to any Walmart in the city of Las Cruces. You understand? If you do come back to any Walmart, you will be arrested for trespassing. All right? >> Yeah. Like can I call my husband? >> Uh right now, no, ma'am. >> It's her first day of school today. I got her lunch. She's going to school too. Today is her first day and she's worried. >> Yeah. >> She's wondering what happened to me. >> Yeah. >> There's no way at all that anyone would be willing to give me a chance to not be actually arrested and go to court and deal with all of this. I mean >> No, ma'am. We have a zero tolerance right now. >> I understand that. I do. I understand that. I just My daughters really need me and I've never done anything like this before in my life. You can look. My record is completely clean of everything. I just made a bad choice today. >> She appeared remorseful, but not a single tear fell, making it seem as though she was putting on an act. Even the officer began to notice it. >> So, just to let you know >> Yes. >> I've been doing this for a little while and watching you on camera and how calm you were no show signs >> Honestly, I wasn't calm. >> Well, >> I was >> like I said, I've been I've been observing people for the last 15 years and when they're about to commit a crime or committing a crime, usually there's signs that they're showing that they're nervous or they're just different than everybody else. You showed signs of no nervousness, no anything, no care at all while you're walking around. So, like you saying that this is the first time, I don't believe you. And I'm I'm straight up with people. >> I I'm sorry. >> So, um I'm going to tell you right now I'm a you're a liar right now cuz you're going to jail. >> I'm I'm being totally cooperative, totally honest about everything. >> Well, I'm just letting you know that. >> Yeah, no. No. No. >> So, we're going to find out the total right now of what the items you attempted to deprive of Walmart and then we'll go from there. Um but this is your official criminal trespass card, Ms. Jackson. So, like I said, you're no longer allowed on any Walmart property. That's the parking lots, stores. Don't come back. All right? As of right now, this is forever. But maybe in a couple years or a year, you could call back management and let them know and see if they decide to take this away. >> What did you think of the officer's reasoning? If you have an opinion, don't forget to leave it in the comments below. But the woman showed no sign of stopping her attempt to gain sympathy. She even called her family while maintaining the same attitude. >> Hey, DJ. Um Something really bad. Um I got caught stealing at the Walmart on Valley. And so, they are arresting me and then I probably won't get out till tomorrow. I don't know why I did it, DJ. You know I don't do this stuff. I just you know, things have been really tight right now and I just I don't know yet. But he says that it's a zero dollars. Face wipes, the face wipes mean nothing to me no face. I'm worried about Britney because you know they're supposed to call me. I was hoping I could get her in sooner to the doctor, but I don't know what to do. He said probably till tomorrow because of I have to see the doctor tonight, you know. I tried talking to them to see if they can help. Just Give me I don't know what what it works. I'm really good at this thing. They think that I, you know, a pro at doing this because he says I wasn't nervous at all. Of course I was nervous. How do you tell? I mean different people show up all their nerves. Different people are nervous before. Otherwise, if I was a pro, I wouldn't have got caught. Am I right? Like You know, I'm in the office with them. Um The truck is parked out front. I don't know I don't know the rules of the law or not, but I don't know. Oh, there's no way it was more than $300. There's no way. But it's probably not even not even $100 worth. >> She insisted that she hadn't stolen as much as $100 as if [music] trying to preserve what little dignity she had left in front of her family. Shortly afterward, the officer confirmed the total value of the merchandise she had attempted to steal. >> So, this was the old one worth 20 and then it came out to 132. Yeah. >> And this one should be like 40 something. >> Okay. >> All of that stuff was already on the shirts not much. >> Yeah, everything's priced out. So, so at least $118 worth of items that you tried to So, what do you want to put in your bag? >> My wallet, my phone, my necklace. >> All right, you want to come right here and do that? >> Do I have to take off my earrings also or >> Yeah, cuz they're not they're going to put them in your property. They're not going to let you keep them on there. >> I just didn't know. >> So, what happened? >> Yeah. Was the items that were on the receipt the correct one? So, the ones that she paid for were the switched ones? >> Yeah, cuz they're the one for >> Except for the water. >> I did pay for the water. >> Yeah, yeah, I got you. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right, so she didn't pay the exact price for five items. >> Yes. >> She switched the tag out. And then the total of 132.75. >> Do you know if my son is here yet or >> I'll wait for him. >> Okay. And that's the serious one from corporate. >> The woman was charged with retail theft and unlawful switching of price tags. Retail theft is never justified by personal hardship. One bad decision can lead to criminal charges, financial consequences, and lasting damage to your reputation and future. >> He took the Saint Laurent glasses, which is probably around like 450 before you have the >> Somebody's telling us one thing, you're telling us something else. So, we're just We just want to make sure >> Okay, I have it on me, but maybe I brought the mistake on on me. >> On the 4th of May, 2026, officers were dispatched to DFW Airport after a store reported that a pair of Saint Laurent sunglasses worth $445 had been stolen. To get a clearer picture of what happened, they listened to the store employee's account. >> This is the Are those the type that he that he took or >> No, so he took the Saint Laurent. He I don't have the >> show me what he took. Let's Let's Let's analyze it. I don't know anything about glasses other than I buy cheap Chinese ones. So. >> And he also took the Saint Laurent. And he took a Saint Laurent. I believe it was a one that's originally 500 just cuz they're made in Italy. And then he was over in the Fossil area, right? That's where whenever he was in the Fossil area, I counted them before he was over here and then he grabbed the pair. He brings it over here. And he's switching them out so it looks like all we're missing is like we're not missing anything from here, but he took the Saint Laurent slides, which is probably around like 450 before we have to call them. >> know exactly. Can you look Can you find out exactly what it is? >> Yeah, I'll do a full inventory and let you know exactly what it >> Okay. >> Since the male suspect was reportedly already gone, officers reviewed the surveillance footage to determine his direction of travel. >> It looks like he went over to the right. >> All right. >> Can I Can I Can I see that? >> Yeah. >> Here. Where is it? Um he was over here. This is like the best angle I have for the sunglasses, but he was over here. If he exited, he had to go right. >> And [snorts] then but that doesn't >> By this time he's gone. >> What time was that? Is there a time stamp on that one? >> Yeah. This is like 6:14. He was already out of here by like 6:10. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> The officers later found the man in line to board his flight. He seemed to think he had gotten away, but the officers' arrival quickly wiped that smile off his face. >> I need you to step out here with me real quick. Let's step over here. Actually, let's go this direction over here. Are you traveling by yourself or you traveling with somebody? >> Um I'm by myself. >> By yourself. Okay. Did you go into the sunglass store over here? >> Yeah, I bought some >> You bought some sunglasses? Do you have the receipt? >> Uh I just gave it to her. >> Gave it to who? >> Uh the store was working actually today. >> Okay, let's go over here and talk to her. Cuz I don't think that they have a record of your transactions for this store. >> You don't have records of transactions? >> Yeah. >> Um I want to pull my flight over. >> Maybe three. We're going to We have to go over here to the sunglass deal or do something up. >> Yeah. I actually bought some glasses from the store. I actually bought the sunglasses. I gave it to her back to her. >> So, do you have a record of this transaction or no? >> Uh I can't do anything with uh your any finger on stuff. I'm sorry. >> Sorry? >> I'm so sorry. You have got one glass sitting outside. >> I don't have anything >> He claimed he had a receipt for the purchase, but then insisted he had nothing, clearly contradicting himself. He then checked his belongings himself, causing his story to change yet again. >> I'm just looking around. I don't know where the space is. I don't have anything on me. I You saw my You saw my transaction. I just paid. >> He saw you leave your glasses outside. So, >> But I have my receipt. You can check my receipt. Heinz. >> If you return them, we can drop the charges. It's just I really need those glasses back, sir. >> So, these are the ones you bought? What? >> Yes. >> I'm going to go over there and check.
