I'm not touching you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> What is it about? >> I said what are you doing? And [music] she got upset. >> I did. >> And put her hands on me when I asked if she was stealing. >> The fights that followed were all justified under the claim of citizens' rights, but every one of them started with shoplifting.

Starting with this woman, it was her attitude that stood out the most. >> Hey, you're good. Yeah. Stop. >> Is that not good enough for a mug shot? I need to get the contour. >> On the 6th of May, 2025, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report that two women had concealed miniature liquor bottles in their purses. However, it appeared they had more problems than just shoplifting. First, let's hear the employee's statement to better understand what happened. >> What's up? So, I have two females at the register right now. >> Um they they're going to finish up the transaction. We kind of held them off as long as we could. Um they have that they took apart, put them on in their purse. >> Oh, so they concealed them in their purse, right? >> Both of them or both of them? >> Um so, we're going to find out right now which store they're going to come out. >> All right. >> Are you on this side? >> Yeah, they're on register What register is >> 24. >> 24. >> Which is literally right there. >> All right. >> And they both concealed how many on each person? There are two packs. Two different packs. And it looks like they're going to go to the other side. >> As soon as officers noticed one of the two women attempting to leave, they quickly moved in and stopped her. However, her immediate reaction quickly became the real cause for concern. >> Okay. Did you guys come here with her? >> All right. >> Come over here real quick. >> Go ahead and turn around. >> Wait, hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. >> You're not under arrest. Don't stop. >> Am I under arrest? >> Yeah, you are. Yeah. Stop. Stop. >> Get off of me. >> Stop. Stop. >> Wait, I need to go call my mom. >> Stop. No. Stop. You're going to catch another charge if you keep resisting. Stop. If you resist, you're going to catch another charge. That. Stop. You're going to catch another charge if you resist. What happened there? >> She's pretty nasty right now. >> Huh? Call my mom. >> The reason why you're arrested is cuz they called the store that they caught you guys on video camera concealing it in your guys' purse. >> Yeah, I do. I have some in there. >> Okay. So, that's that's the reason. >> Yeah, I do. I do. >> The woman's attempt to flee only confirmed that she knew she had done something wrong. As [snorts] a result, once she and her accomplice were taken to the police station, neither of them could deny what they had done. >> Do you have any idea on you? >> No, I don't. I left them at the house. >> You left them at your house? You guys want to press charges for the shoplifting trespass? What do you guys want to do? >> Press charges for >> Oh, food and coffee only? You already told me that. >> Yeah, I did. I did. >> How many did you take? >> I took two packs. >> Two packs? >> I took it when I went came out of the coffee section. up? >> I'll take them. I'll take them. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. Is there a downstairs in the back? But I can get them all for you. >> Yeah, I'll take them. You want those chips? >> No, no. I have a an whole calendar. So, how many years in there? Cuz I just >> 246810 >> And that's yours too. Dude, I mean this has been going on since we started from >> Last name is Frank. >> Yes. >> That's all? Uh depends on the amount. I mean I doubt it's probably like a couple of Yeah. No, it's not okay. >> It's still not okay. >> Yeah. >> I don't think they just trespasses and you know, like [ __ ] >> And then we paid for some groceries. >> What? >> She said [ __ ] the groceries. It ain't even about the groceries. >> They showed no remorse at all, continuing to laugh and joke with each other. The store's loss prevention team then made its decision based on their actions. >> So, so Sophia will need to be trespassed. >> Sophia? >> Cuz she Cuz it looks like She got caught 4 months ago. >> You have trespass warnings? You are going to get trespassed from here, okay? So, yeah. So, that means you guys can't come to Walmart anymore. >> This Walmart in particular? >> Any of them. >> For how long is it? Is it 12 months? >> You guys have to If I'm not They have to contact Walmart corporate. >> Technically indefinite, so forever. But if you don't have any run-ins or anything like that with us for a year, you can call the 1-800 Walmart number and let them know and they can look up to see if you have any prior run-ins. You'll be able to come back and they'll let you inspect. >> And then I'll talk to you okay? >> Do I take the basket? >> Um you can leave it here for now, okay? I'll tell you what's going to happen and then we'll come back for the basket with you too, okay? >> Okay. Right now? >> Returning to the other woman, officers kept her at the scene not only because she had resisted earlier, but because they had discovered something else after running her information through the system. >> Am I just getting a trespassing or am I like in the >> Well, you're getting trespassed. They want to push charges for the shoplifting. And then um >> So, that's like going to jail? >> You have a warrant. >> Oh, [ __ ] I didn't even know that. >> Yeah, so they're confirming on the warrant. >> Oh, yeah. >> Once they confirm for the warrant, you're going to have to go to jail. >> Okay. >> But for your friend, more than likely uh we're just going to issue her a ticket and she'll be on her way. >> Okay. >> Um do you want her to take your stuff or >> I'm going to have her take my phone. She has my phone already. I just want my purse and my cuz the groceries are going to my mom's, so that's fine. >> Cuz the only the purse will probably not be able to go into the detention center. You're going to have to give it >> Well, I'm going to I'm going to release all my stuff to her. >> Okay, that's fine. Even your phone or you want to keep your phone? >> already on her, so I just want to >> You don't want to keep >> time I went to Fontana, they lost all my >> Okay. I was going to say you don't want to keep your phone in case you call somebody whenever you get out. >> No. Do you know what the warrant is for? >> Uh if I'm not mistaken, it's for a driving under the influence. >> Oh. That's from like years ago. >> Yeah, probably. You probably ended up missing a payment or didn't do something and then they just got a warrant. That's it. >> Yeah, but that's crazy cuz they just ran my name when I passed over like 2 weekends ago. They didn't say nothing about a warrant. >> It's probably not extraditable. >> Yeah, I don't know. >> So, yeah, it's not extraditable. >> think like what do you think would happen like >> If they stop you it's the same >> since I have a warrant you said a year, so would I be out like tomorrow or >> Yeah, when you see a judge. Unless there's a uh bail on it, a bond. >> Okay. But I don't know what the bond is or if there's even a bond. >> She showed no sign of remorse whatsoever. Even after being escorted to the patrol car, she reunited with her friend and acted as though nothing had happened. >> Do you know her number? Cuz like I said, I don't know if you have a bond. I don't know if the warrant has a bond, but if you do, you can probably just pay the bond. >> Mariah was charged with shoplifting and was taken to jail after officers discovered an outstanding DUI warrant. Sophia was issued a criminal citation for shoplifting. >> [music] >> Shoplifting may seem like a minor offense, but it can quickly lead to more serious consequences when combined with resisting police or unresolved legal issues. A simple theft can uncover past problems that turn a citation into a trip to jail. Next, this mother was caught teaching her own family how to shoplift. >> She scanned them once. >> She scanned them [music] twice. She scanned them three times. >> Twice. >> How could you believe that she would lose my baby? We would not lie, cheat, or steal on everything we love. >> On the 25th of October 2025, officers responded to the loss prevention office after receiving a report that a mother and daughter had allegedly skip scanned nearly $90 worth of merchandise at the self-checkout. This is what happened when police arrived at the scene. Hey. >> Hey. >> Are you the parent? >> Yes. >> Okay, I got you. Let's see your daughter. >> Yes, she didn't try to steal anything. >> I got you. Do you got your identification on you? >> No, let me get her out of the car. Let me go to the car. >> Hold on. Hold up a second. Hold up a second. What's your name? >> Tanika. >> Tanika? >> Yes. >> And she scanned it >> three times on the machine. >> Twice. >> Please, man. How could you believe that she would lose my baby? We would not lie, cheat, or steal on everything that we love. >> What's your first name? Spell it. >> Tanika. >> Can you wait here with me? >> I'm not going to the >> I know. Can you just wait here? >> Yes, sir. I'm not doing it. I just stepped out here. Can I get the money out the car? >> Can we just wait 1 minute? Okay. We got to [music] get everything figured out first before we go there. >> She said he going to let her pay. I told him I'll pay for >> Okay. Yeah, that's fine. I still got to facilitate you some of this. Um >> Me? Why am I being facilitated? >> Just cuz you're the parent of the minor, okay? So, obviously we got to make sure that's all taken care of cuz I don't want to Stuff with minors is always a headache, you know what I mean? Okay. >> I can go to the car. >> What's your daughter's name? I'm going to go speak with them just real quick. Can you I'll I'll tell I'll tell them that. Can you just wait right here? Don't go nowhere. >> Immediately afterward, the officer approached the loss prevention staff to obtain their account of what had happened. >> So, they uh she was scanning it and then she was ringing her stuff and they just didn't scan $87 worth of merchandise. >> So, now we know what we're doing. What are we doing? >> Um we prosecute them to the fullest extent. >> Okay. Okay, but she wasn't part of it. >> Oh, yes, she was part of it. >> She was involved in it. >> Yeah, well, she was the one that scanned it. >> I got you. It turned out the mother who had been trying to clear her daughter's name was involved in the incident as well. She seemed to know it, too, as she immediately became hesitant when the officer asked her to come back inside the store. I'm sorry, Davari Young's an adult. Um I was mistaken. Once you finish with that, they're probably going to want to bar y'all from the property. So, can you come back in with me? >> Uh-huh. They're going to um >> Bar you. >> Are we going to be able to pay for it? >> I don't know. You'll have to take that up with them. >> Why bar me? >> It's their property. They can bar for any reason. >> What? >> Yes. >> Okay. She didn't steal that merchandise, all right. >> She said she saw them doing that, ma'am. >> Oh my god. Is it all right if I leave? >> What am I doing? I didn't take nothing. What are you doing? >> You're free. >> All right, this girl I'm not going to work. I swear to god. You don't have to do me. >> you for me. Thank you. >> I swear to god I didn't steal nothing. We got to move on, baby. I'm with my little daughter. Please. Please let me pay. Please. Let her pay. I will pay for it. Please don't do me. >> She immediately begged to pay for the merchandise, something she hadn't done when only her daughter was in trouble. It was clear she was afraid of something, which the loss prevention staff revealed moments later. >> I was laying it up. I had to scan things. She did all the ringing. >> Hold on, let me take a look. >> I wasn't trying to steal nothing. That's what y'all like. >> She scanned them once. >> She scanned them twice. >> Okay. >> Instead of three times. >> Mis-scanning, which is the term that's is when people are scanning everything. >> She holding the receipt and I was doing half of them, but she doesn't scan the bottom ones. She doesn't scan the bottom ones. >> It's a common It's a common thing that happens. >> Take nothing from y'all. >> I got you, but you missed like >> a couple >> nine like $90 worth of items. >> right. We were working together. We were switching back and forth. >> Yeah, I get like one or two things, but like $90 >> paid for the $90 worth. How do you know how many items there was? >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and 12 items. >> I paid for them. >> That's a lot of items that you missed items that you missed doing. Yeah. >> I mean, I was I was scanning in the middle. >> You want to get the barn thing? >> Can I keep the receipt and the barn thing, please? >> Sure. Sit right here. Thanks. I'm just checking your times on the radio. You're going through They're holding you to the same standards they are They are for their cash register people. The cashiers. You have to scan, make sure everything scans, everything rings up. >> Yeah, whether you were trying to or not, you walked out of here with $87 more than you paid for. >> I can't pay for it. Well, we had to stop you with the credit card going. So, obviously there has to be there has to be a lesson learned. So >> Obviously it's >> You're pretty much [ __ ] up here. She's going either way. >> In addition, officers confirmed the mother had two outstanding warrants, so they made separate decisions for the mother and daughter. So, you're all good to go. Yeah, you're good to go. >> a lot of mail. >> Yeah, you're going either I mean, you got two warrants anyway. So, you're going either way. >> What are the two warrants? >> One out of this county, one out of Oglethorpe. You miss anything in court from Oglethorpe County? >> I don't know. >> Yeah. But we can't tell you everything. All we can tell you is the warrant what it what it's at. Yeah, so anything you got to leave with her. You might want to bring a phone cuz you can get numbers that way, but unless you have a Unless you have them all memorized. What's up? >> I have a warrant again? >> Yeah, that I mean they'll let you do that at the jail, too, but yeah. Hey, officer, take Here you go. Hey, what? Write your name Whatever you want to get your number Write your numbers down and I'll give you the paper out of here. Would you Would you rather transport to Duke Bay? Whatever. Okay, you just want to transport, I'll take care of it. >> Okay, what what am I What's this warrant out of? What is it? >> Two warrants. One out of Park Cannon. Well, that might be drug related or not. I didn't read over them. >> Warrant out of Park Cannon for >> Yeah, one local. They'll tell you what the jail uh Park Cannon will tell you here. Over from Park Cannon we can't tell you. So, both of those are probably going to be taken care of when we get there. >> What do you mean? >> When you get there, they serve them They serve them at the jail. >> Oh, okay. >> Get your handcuffs. I'll put you in back cuz that's our policy. Did they go? Uh give me your pocket up here. Let me put your cash in the pocket. No, you had it with you. All right. Anything else, assistant? All right, we're good to go. >> All right, come out here. We'll get you out of there and see if we can get the handcuffs off of you as quick as we can. >> The mother was arrested on two outstanding warrants, while the daughter was charged with misdemeanor retail theft for skip scanning merchandise. A moment of dishonesty can lead to lasting consequences, and trying to fix it after getting caught rarely changes the outcome. Taking responsibility from the beginning is always better than hoping no one notices. But what happens when the shoplifter is a Karen? >> Let me see your warrant. Let me see your warrant. >> I don't have one. >> I have the right to see my warrant. >> You're making it worse on yourself. You need to just relax. >> I'm not trying to make it worse, but you're getting her pissed. >> On the 30th of September, 2025, officers stopped a woman after Walmart's loss prevention team caught her concealing merchandise in her bag while attempting to leave the store. Here's what happened next. >> Ma'am, you got to go back in. >> I go ask the guy for the receipt. >> Okay, well >> And then I'll wait right here. Go ask for him. >> What what receipt did you want? >> She just paid for this soda. >> Yeah. Is there stuff in your bag? >> No, there is nothing in my bag. >> at that bag right there. >> There is nothing in my bag. >> It looks pretty full. >> Because I have my personal items. >> Okay, you can go sort it out with them. And if you're good, they'll just let you go. >> Okay, call him out here cuz I'm not going back in there because he helped me with the machine. >> Okay, well, you can open your bag right here. >> I can open it. >> The little green chocolate almond milk is mine. >> What? >> I don't have nothing that I stole. >> Ma'am, I watched you on the camera, so I'm going to have you step in the office with me. >> Well, I want I want to see it now because the man helped me. Go get your worker. Go get your worker that will help me. >> I just step into this office and we'll talk about it in there. Just avoid any embarrassment. >> Yeah. It isn't embarrassing because I paid for it. >> Okay, well, we'll sort it out inside there. That's simple. >> Oh, my god. >> There isn't any chocolate almond milk in there. >> Well, let me talk to both of you guys then. >> The woman denied the allegations but refused to cooperate to clear her own name, which only made the situation seem even more suspicious. She even began invoking her rights as a citizen, making the situation even more tense. >> What do you want? >> I wasn't stealing. Until you have proof, then move out of my way. >> Well, ma'am >> Until you have >> They have proof on the video. >> Do you have the warrant? >> We don't need a warrant. Well, we need to search >> me see your warrant. Let me see your warrant. >> I don't have a warrant. >> I have the right to see my warrant. I have the right to see my warrant. >> They'll show you the video if you go in there. >> my warrant. >> Well, we're going to let your We're going to let your friend go. Okay. >> I want my warrant. >> Okay. >> You guys cannot check my property unless you guys give me a warrant. >> This one is our property. >> Ma'am, the bag is our property. >> Come here. >> We're going to let your friend go. >> Ma'am, you're good to go. >> You're good to go.

Let me >> I am. Let go. >> Let me cuff you, and then I'll let go. >> Don't. >> Let go, and I will [ __ ] obey. >> No. >> Things only got worse because of the woman's own behavior, but her arrogance kept her from seeing it that way. Even after arriving at the police station, she continued denying any wrongdoing. >> I'm right here. Stop hurting me. >> Donna. >> I am not resisting. I got rights. >> Just relax. You just get in the cuff, it'll be a lot easier. >> Okay, but you're hurting me. >> Okay, there. That's >> Two fingers can't fit. >> Huh? >> Two fingers can't [laughter] fit in the cuff. >> If you get up, I'll do it for you. >> Okay. >> Well, get up. >> You told me to sit down. >> Well, get up now. >> Go get that man that got my purchase. >> What?

You're not cooperating with us. >> I am sitting >> No, you're not. You need to sit down. I'll feel more comfortable if you sit down. >> At this point, officers continued asking for her personal information, but because of the arrogance and uncooperative attitude she had displayed from the very beginning, they were forced to warn her about the consequences of refusing to comply. >> You're going to pick up two charges if you don't give me your birthday. >> Is that what? >> Concealing identity. You're not giving me your Yes, you are. You're not giving me your identity. >> That's not concealing it. >> Yes, it is. >> No, it's not concealing. >> Yes, it is.

You stand up. >> How the hell do you want me to stand up if I can't stand up straight? >> You shouldn't have done that. You got to get out. >> You >> In the end, Donna was cited for shoplifting and concealing identity. Trying to avoid responsibility by refusing to cooperate only makes the situation worse. Respecting the legal process and providing basic information can resolve an investigation much more quickly, while unnecessary resistance often leads to additional consequences. Next, [music] this woman tried to play innocent after stealing breakfast from a hotel. >> Put it down. Stop. Put it down. Put it down. >> Please, I just want to have breakfast. What do I do?

She [music] was then escorted outside, but her resistance continued making the situation even more difficult. >> I'm telling y'all >> You're going to jail.

Could that have been the answer to the erratic behavior she had shown earlier? >> What did I do? What did I do? >> You're throwing [ __ ] at her. >> I didn't hit anything with her. >> You're throwing [ __ ] at You're going to jail for battery. >> He hurt >> I'm done with you.

I am old enough >> And to know not to piss on people. >> I didn't intentionally do so. >> Go for it. >> I didn't I I did not intentionally do so. Okay? I did not intentionally do so. I did not intentionally do anything or anything. >> The suspect listened to the officer's explanation and it seemed as though she was finally going to cooperate, but that wasn't the case. Even getting into the patrol car turned into another delay and what [music] stood out the most was her innocent act. >> I want to talk to you. It's okay. I just want to talk to y'all. Can y'all please talk to me? >> Can you just sit down in the car? >> Why are y'all so mad at me? >> Because you peed on us. >> I did not intentionally. >> Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. >> I did not intentionally pee on you. I I It was nothing intentional. It was nothing intentional, please. And hear me when I say It was nothing intentional. Nothing intentional. Can y'all please talk to me? >> No. >> Okay. >> So, I'm trying to get some quick information from you or a statement. So, did Did she batter you at all or what did she do to you? >> She She just came in and >> Shortly afterward, one of the officers returned to the hotel to gather additional statements from the staff about what had happened. >> I said, "No, we don't have cameras." She said, "Yeah, you do. You got cameras. You're trying to make me make sure that I hit you before I leave out of here." So, she had a plate. She come over here. She still talking. She got her phone in my face. I pushed her hand. I said, "You in my I don't mind you filming, but you in my personal space. That's too close." So, she go over here. A a guy trying to talk to her, tell her to go ahead. She got got your breakfast. Just leave. She drops the plate. She had a candle from over there. She breaks it. All the stuff flying. There's still pieces over there. >> Okay. Um did she hit you with anything like that? >> didn't. >> Okay. And how long has she been here? >> She I've been seeing her coming in the morning right before breakfast. She came in and she put You see how dirty her bottom of her shoes are? Put them on our table. >> Okay. >> And went to sleep. The breakfast attendant came and told me that the girl had her feet on the table. So, I went over there. I said, "Ma'am, could you take your feet down?" She went back to sleep. So, I pulled the table from under her legs. She woke up. She said, "I'm being disrespectful." I said, "You being disrespectful. You got your feet on the table." People have to eat on this table. She said, "I just want to eat." I said, "Do you have a reservation here?" She said, "I do." I said, "What's the room number?" She couldn't give me a room number. She said, "I'm going to call" She said she's going to call somebody and find out what the room number was. >> Returning to the suspect, she still refused to cooperate, forcing the officers to issue a warning. But surprisingly, the grown woman broke down in tears, acting as though she was the victim. >> Pee all over you. I do not want any more pee on me. >> Please, it's okay. >> right, okay? >> Please, it's okay. >> You're going to get up out of the car and you're not going to move. >> I'm not going to come back. Come back. >> I'm not going to >> Get up. >> PLEASE, I JUST WANT TO HAVE BREAKFAST. What did they have for >> We're going to get you breakfast. >> I don't want to go back. Please, I just want to have breakfast. Please. I don't try to pee on >> [laughter] >> I don't want to go. >> Have a seat. Have a seat, please. >> I just want to have breakfast. What did they have? MY COUSIN SAID I COULD COME. >> We'll get YOU SOME BREAKFAST. >> OKAY, CAN >> OKAY, I'M SORRY. I won't come back. >> Get in. >> Please, I won't come back. Please. >> Get in the car. >> Okay, okay. Okay. I had a long day. I'll let you. Please, I won't come back. I won't. Please. >> Sit back. Sit back. Sit back. Sit back. >> Please, I understand. My cousin said, I can go back. >> Sit back. Why would your cousin lie to you? Sit back. Sit back. >> Please. Please, I just wanted to have breakfast. I don't want to be rude to nobody. Please. Please. Please, I'll apologize. Please. >> [laughter] >> Please, I'll apologize. >> The woman was charged with resisting arrest and criminal mischief, damage to property. She was also trespassed from the hotel. Actions have consequences, and refusing to cooperate after multiple chances often makes a situation much worse. Making excuses or acting like the victim cannot undo disruptive behavior or prevent legal consequences. Next, let's change the mood with a chaotic incident inside a retail store. >> No, she initiated the contact with me. I said, "What are you stealing?" And she got upset. >> 22. >> And put her hands on me when I asked her if she was stealing. >> She didn't identify another female. >> On the 8th of June, 2024, officers received multiple 911 calls from a Marshall store reporting that a fight had broken [music] out. The incident involved two women who had gotten into a physical altercation in the middle of the sales floor, and [music] one of them left shortly afterward. Officers then approached the remaining woman to find out what had happened. According to her statement, >> Hi. What's going on? Heard you were in a fight? >> No. I was in this store shopping, and some lady just jumped on me. Don't know who she is. >> I was in >> THIS WHOLE RIGHT HERE. >> GET THE [ __ ] >> OFF ME. >> SHE HIT ME. SHE JUMPED on me. Get her. >> I need another unit. >> I'm not about TO DO NOTHING. >> YOU'RE THE ONE WHO JUMPED ON ME. >> SHE LOOK AT ME. >> YOU'RE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. >> YEAH, YOU WANT TO ANSWER Please let me go. PLEASE LET ME GO. I'M >> I'll let you go. >> YOU WAS WITH HER. Oh my god. >> SHE'S IN A BROWN AND black shirt. She's walking towards Off Saks. >> Let me go, please. I didn't do anything. >> to calm down. >> I couldn't understand. I'm sorry. Can you try and repeat? >> Please let me go.

SHE JUST A HIT ME. >> AND YOU JUST ALMOST DID IT BACK TO HER. >> Are you [ __ ] >> Not even FIGHTING. >> NO, I WANT TO GET MY STUFF. >> YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE GROUND. YOU'RE GOING TO be on the ground. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE GOING TO GO IN HANDCUFFS. >> Officers tried to stop the woman to prevent the situation from escalating again, but she refused to back down and let her anger make things worse, prompting officers to handcuff her shortly afterward. >> What am I looking for? >> Come on. I'll come. >> Get in the car. >> I'll come. >> DO YOU WANT THE OTHER FEMALE CAR OR WHAT? >> I SAID I'LL BE OUT. >> GET IN THE CAR. >> CAN I GET MY STUFF off the ground? >> on the ground for right now. >> I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG. WHY ARE YOU EVEN MESSING WITH ME? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? >> MA'AM, you went after her. >> Ma'am, if y'all get the video footage, YOU CAN >> MA'AM, GET IN THE CAR. I'm sorry. Get in the car. I can't understand you. >> I'm sorry. She's on foot. >> Open the door. I'll just just open the door. I just want to get I JUST >> YOU'RE GOING IN HANDCUFFS. >> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. >> CITING YOU. STOP THIS. >> I SAID OPEN THE DOOR. I WILL GET IN. PLEASE. Oh my god. >> At this POINT YOU ATTEMPTED TO attack her in front of me. You did. You could have just yelled at her. Let go of your items. You could have been calm AND WE COULD HAVE HAD HER IN HANDCUFFS, TOO, RATHER THAN YOU YELLING AND ATTACKING HER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? >> ATTACKED ME. >> YEAH. >> I DID NOT know her from a can of paint. >> but we could have had her instead of you yelling at me AND ME YELLING AT YOU. >> ABBY. OKAY, I'm getting there. >> I know it's hard. >> [laughter] >> Oh my god. Oh my god. I didn't even do nothing. >> Shortly afterward, officers spoke with the employees who witnessed the incident to determine what had actually happened. >> So, did you actually see the fight? >> I did. >> What did you see? >> Um the girl with blonde hair, she was just looking at pants in the clearance aisle. >> Okay. >> And then the girl with black hair came up to her and was like, "I know what you did. My family lives here." And hit her. Then they started fighting. >> like a closed fist? >> Well, it might have been open, but she just swung and then started grabbing her hair. And then the aisle started moving and then I paged forever. >> Okay. Um would you be willing to write that out on a statement? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Hey, so we GOT THE STORY. WHAT? YEAH, BUT you also attempted to run back out. >> Attack me. >> Yes, I get that. >> know her. >> Would you like medical attention? >> I want to go home. Please take these handcuffs off of me. I didn't even do anything. >> to take you out. For your own safety, I have no choice but to have you in them. I'm going to just turn you your body. Okay? I'm sorry. >> Okay. >> I'm I'm sorry, ma'am. Why did you just step up? I can't see in the back of the car. >> Oh my god. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? >> Officer Two Cents. But you understand why I had to place you in handcuffs. >> I don't. I just >> AND YOU WERE ATTEMPTING >> HELP ME CUZ SOMEBODY WAS JERKING on me. Nobody helped me. >> But you also attempted to attack her. >> about? Somebody just attacked me. >> on my person. >> know her. I'm just in here shopping, looking at clothes, and somebody just jumped on me. >> Ma'am, can I ask you some specific questions? >> I want to answer nothing. I want you to write your name. What I want is your badge number 80708. >> you like medical attention? >> to get my stuff, and I want to go. >> Okay. After the blonde-haired woman left the scene, a patrol officer quickly located the other woman who appeared to have a clear understanding of what had happened and immediately shared her side of the story. Stop. Do you have an ID on you? >> I do. >> Okay, let's just start there. Any weapons on you? >> No. >> Okay, good to go. Let's just talk from there. >> 36 radio 36 >> She just came out of >> Well, well, just listen. Let's calm down. You're here now. You're safe with me, okay? >> That's fine. >> All right, let's get an ID on you. >> That's why I just walked out of the store. >> Let's get a Let's get an ID on you. 36 radio, I have that other female. I'm at Smith and Pearl. Just hold it up for me. >> Brandy. >> All right, Brandy, what's going on? >> When I was in the store, it was the lady in the >> in Johnny's store. >> Okay, take two steps back for me. >> When I was in the store at Johnny's store, it was the lady on the black. She got in the line behind me up here. I went in here to Wings to get a couple of ice. I sat there and ate my food. Another woman showed up in the store with a little boy. Then I walked out and Marshall said she was in here. So I was like, "Why are you following me? Why do you have sunglasses on?" And she turned around and hit me and we got into it. Go Go talk to the manager over here in Wings. >> So you're saying that what's Where's Wings? >> Right here in the side. It was a little boy. He spoke to me like he knew me. It was a little boy in the seat right here in Wings. >> Okay, I don't know Wings. Is that a store? >> It's No, it's a it's a wing place. She had a backpack just like her. She had wavy hair. >> Okay, so you're saying someone was behind you in Giant Eagle >> That is correct. >> then Marshall's >> They went to from Giant Eagle to Wings and then to Marshall's. >> Giant Eagle Wings to Marshall's and then assaulted you while you're in the line at Marshall's. >> Okay, and you didn't have any confrontation and >> No, I I I told the little boy he had good hair, he needs some grease. So I come back in and she was like, "Where you Why you talking to him for? What you saying this for?" And I was like, "Why do you have my sunglasses?" And she just hit me. >> Okay, and then you're saying you defended yourself back? >> Okay. >> And I went back to the bathroom and wiped my face off and walked out. >> If it hadn't been for the store's surveillance footage, the woman's story might have seemed fairly convincing. However, she later continued to falsely accuse the other woman in an attempt to shift the blame onto her. >> Like a zombie? >> Yes, she did. This is the woman that >> to start all that? Why did she >> I don't know. >> You said that she was following you and then she attacked you. >> Exactly. >> You said you said something to her. >> I asked her why was she wearing glasses. I said, "Are you stealing?" She was She had on sunglasses and she was like >> so you started the You initiated the contact with her. >> No, she initiated the contact with me. I said, "What are you Why are you stealing?" And she got upset. >> Okay. >> And put her hands on me when I asked if she was stealing. >> You didn't identify another female. >> Sorry. >> This is the lady who wants to press charges, but she's being belligerent and driving me >> I can I want to press charges, too. I asked if she was stealing. >> Yeah, I got a She called it in. She She said that yeah. Um >> That's what I said. >> She had an idea in the back of her mind. >> into a fight. They seen it. >> Okay. >> I'm going to head back there and try to figure it out. >> I have no clue. >> Okay. >> I went in there and bought my stuff. >> Okay. Here's what we're going >> else showed up at the store in giant eagle, she had on all black >> Come on up here. Get your stuff. Get your stuff. Sit right here on the curb so we're off the street. Okay? Have a seat here and we're just going to hang out. All right. Just stand right there for me. Don't move. If it hadn't been for the store's surveillance footage, the woman's story might have seemed fairly convincing. However, she later continued to falsely accuse the other woman in an attempt to shift the blame onto her. and initiate contact and interrogate them and accuse them of something and then they approach you? >> if I feel like they interrogate me, yes, I'm going to say something to them. >> And then they walk close. >> And if they get close to me, if she if she hits me, I'm going to PUNCH THEM. I'M GOING TO PUNCH THEM BACK. >> SO, you initiate the whole thing and then you she gets angry and then you punch her. >> She got UPSET WITH ME BECAUSE I asked her a question. >> That's That's where you're wrong. That's not so bad. >> Yeah, I'm getting it done. >> That's where the disconnect is that you don't comprehend. >> is no disconnect. She's disconnected with the world and society because most people will have conversations and they talk to They get interrogated all the time, but you don't get upset. You don't get mad. You don't hit somebody because a police officer approached you. That's like me. >> Well, you initiated the contact and you instigated all of >> That's not an initiation. >> It's not instigating a >> her a question. >> That's none of your business. >> Okay, we'll figure that out in court. Can I get the paperwork? >> I'm not done. Will you be calm and wait? >> All right. I just need your signature. This is not a admission of guilt. >> Okay, I'll sign it. >> Basically that you're going to appear in court. Your court date is going to be on Tuesday. I'll give you a copy here soon. Here you >> Thank you. You guys have a good night. >> The bus bus stop is right there. So, you're going to walk to >> I'm I'm going to walk down to 7-Eleven. Have a good day. >> The black-haired woman was charged with assault and disorderly conduct. The disorderly conduct charge was later dropped while she pleaded not guilty to the assault charge and the case remains ongoing. Escalating a confrontation instead of letting police handle it can make an already difficult situation much worse. Staying calm and cooperating with the investigation gives everyone a better chance of reaching the truth. Next, this woman even assaulted the store owner after being caught in the act. >> You are not leaving. Stop. >> Stop. >> Stop. >> Look at this at the bottom. Look at this. Look at this. Yes, right here at the bottom. Don't let me take it out. >> Okay. >> On the 2nd of July, 2024, police were dispatched to a liquor store in Illinois after receiving a report of a woman suspected of shoplifting. Upon arriving at the scene, the store owner stepped forward and gave officers his account of what had happened. >> Yes. Go right here. Here you go. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> You Who called? >> She's right here, please. >> Okay. What's What's going on? >> So, what happened is the Did the assistant manager stole from me? And he came again today. He got a bag and the both guys right here. And we have it even on the camera. I know you saw me, but ma'am, you got to pay today. >> Okay. >> Today you got to >> You want to go up front and I'll talk to her? >> I'm not doing anything. >> What What's What's going on? >> No, he keeps [ __ ] saying like he keeps questioning me. He keeps saying things to me. That [ __ ] ain't real. >> What is he saying to you? >> What she can't have it. >> You see >> want it. I don't want it. I just want to leave. >> have it on the camera. Make sure you know. >> Okay, I will handle this. >> I literally just want to walk out. I want to go home. >> YOU CANNOT WALK OUT TODAY. >> OKAY. WHAT WHY? Did you call the police or did he call? >> He. >> He called? >> He called, yeah. >> Why did he call? >> Because >> stuff or something? >> He just He keeps touching me. I don't like that [ __ ] >> What do you mean touching you? >> that. It's like >> She turned the accusation back on the officer in an attempt to deny the allegation against her, but her claims came across as hesitant as if she was making them up on the spot. She even refused to provide her name, only making herself appear even more suspicious. >> Yes, you're being detained. >> Am I arrested? >> No, you're not arrested. Okay. What's your first name? You're going to make more problems for yourself this way. >> I can walk out freely if you don't touch me. I know my >> No. >> You're not walking past me. >> I will not do anything. >> You're not going anywhere. >> No, no, no, no. >> No, you're not. >> Yeah, I am. >> No, you're not going nowhere. >> You're not going anywhere. >> No freaking way. Everything you do is fake. You're not getting away. I'm telling you. I'm going to walk out. >> Hm? >> Hey, he bumped me. He bumped me. I'm going to tell you it's going to end 10 10 times worse for him. >> Hm? >> It's going to end 10 10 times worse for him. >> Okay. >> I promise you. >> Well, you're not leaving right now. >> Yes, I am. >> I'm telling you you're not. >> I'm just trying to be as nice as I can. >> And I'm trying to be as nice as I can to you and say you're not leaving. >> Yes, I am. >> No, you're not. >> The woman tried to act angry and shift the narrative to make herself look like the victim. Even after the officer told her she was being detained, she still tried to walk away as if nothing had happened. >> Police, excuse me. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, excuse me. >> You're not leaving. >> Touch me. >> You're not leaving. If you try to walk through me again, I'm going to put you in handcuffs, okay? It's very simple. All you have to do is stand here until we figure this out and then you can leave once we get done. >> Don't touch me. Don't touch >> Please, stop. >> No, he didn't do anything. >> Stop. >> This I said no stop me and that's it. >> Stop. >> Yeah. >> You are not leaving. Stop. Stop. >> I need to stop. >> Stop. Put your hands behind your back. Stop. Stop. >> being detained? >> Yes, you are. Stop. Put your hands behind your back. >> No. >> No, you're not going anywhere. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Put your hands behind your back. Stop. Why are you making all this noise? >> Am I being detained? >> I already told you you're >> Am I being arrested? >> Hey, stop. Stop. Stop. >> I literally don't have a problem with nobody. All right. >> All right. Stop. What's your first name? >> No, this is not a good day. >> What were you doing in this store? >> I need a lawyer. I literally am trying to leave. Dude, he already grabbed the [ __ ] bottle and then he I'm not going >> After successfully detaining the woman, one of the officers reviewed the surveillance footage with the store owner and everything quickly became clear. >> And I'm going to call the police now. Who who do you actually know? >> All right, that's when you were calling. >> Yeah. >> She started pushing past Yeah. >> At one point even he hit me with that thing with that thing right in my face. >> Okay. >> Look. Who is the crazy one? I don't think I was in my life to do with this. >> So then he was the aggressor. No. >> I said, "No, no, you're not leaving." Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this [ __ ] Look at this. Look at this. And now the guy another guy is standing in front of me. He said, "No, you're not leaving." You know what I mean? Look at this guy. Look at this guy. You're not leaving this store. >> Yeah, that's right. >> Did you already have the bottle out of her bag at this point? >> no, no. You can see the top where I take it out from the bag. >> Okay. >> Not It's not in the bag. That's in the front. >> Okay. >> So, let's do this. I can't believe it. I just I let her go yesterday, but I said, "No, no, no, no. You ain't getting a second today. No, it's not going to happen." >> To make matters worse for her, the store owner went on to describe how she had behaved toward him earlier, making it clear that she was anything but the victim. >> Uh I think I did yesterday. >> That's when you were trying to take the >> I saw her with the bottle. I was taking the bottle out while walking out. Now this is the best part. We take the bottle. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. >> Yeah. >> Look at this. She said, "Don't touch me. You touch me." I said, "No, no, ma'am. I'm not touching you." Look at this. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> There's the bottle. Look at this. The bottle. Look at this. Look at this. Yes, right here, the bottle. Then when I take it out. >> Okay. Do you think she has other stuff in her purse or I don't >> She took that thing. You just You just saw the bottle. >> The bottle and I You can see the bottle. I mean, there's no way you can fake it. >> Is there anything Anything smaller over there that she could have stolen? >> she did in the bag. But the reason I let her stay a couple minutes less than a couple minutes. She walked in the back at 6:00. As soon as I see her, I said, "Oh, hold on. She's back again." So, she started She stopped right in front of the shelf. She said, "All right." I said, "You again, huh?" And she said, "Well, I don't want trouble." I said, "Believe me, ma'am." "Oh, my boyfriend." I said, "Don't bring your boyfriend. I don't give a damn who you are." Like I said, I said, "Ma'am, don't don't go in the back of the store." So, she walked straight in the back. And I thought I was seeing her for a second. I said, "Hold on. Where she is?" And I It's no no camera showing up. And I walked right in the back and I see her. You know, she had the big bag moving around. I said, "No, no, no." And the best thing is, you're not going to believe it. It's not she got it the one time. She I BRING HER OUT AND SHE GOING TO GET THE SECOND ONE. OH, I GOT TO GET ONE TODAY. >> [snorts] >> IT'S NOT JUST ONE. But she got the offense here. She pulled straight to THE BACK. I SAID, "NO, MA'AM, YOU'RE NOT walking out of here today. Out." >> The woman was charged with retail theft under $300, resisting a peace officer, and battery involving insulting or provoking physical contact. Actions have consequences, and trying to avoid responsibility often makes a situation much worse. Cooperating with officers during an investigation and resolving the issue through legal channels is far better than resisting, making accusations without evidence, or escalating the encounter into additional criminal charges.

Next, this woman even believed she could lie her way past the entire system. >> No, I haven't. >> Well, they they gave provided us your name. >> I never stole something >> What was the charge that you're on probation for? >> For, I think, taking something. >> On the 1st of July, 2025, officers approached a woman in Target's parking lot after receiving reports of a shoplifting incident involving her. But, when the accusations were brought up directly, the woman remained unusually calm, almost as if she had already prepared an excuse for everything. >> I'm here because Target called and said you stole something. >> I'll go take it back. >> Well, I don't know if they're going to You you Wait, you obviously know you said something if you said, "I'll take it back." Well, I'll just wait here. We'll see what Target wants to do. What I mean >> I'll just go >> Well, just wait. What did you take? I don't want to cause a scene inside. See if they can come out here and we can figure it out. Like, maybe you opened up some OC spray or pepper spray or something they said and you >> Oh. Yeah, I did. Cuz I thought they >> Come on. They know your name already cuz you've been here before stealing for something. >> No, I haven't. >> Well, they they gave provided us your name. >> I never stole anything in my life. >> Okay, I'm just telling you what our notes say on the call, so.

If we can write you a ticket and be done, we'll be done. >> But I mean like I I could have paid for it. >> I don't know what Target wants to do. They called. If you could have paid for it, you should have paid for it before you came outside, right? >> Okay. I can write it. >> Now, what's your last name? >> Okay. >> In reality, she pretended to act innocent after hearing the accusations against her because she had no proof to deny them. Meanwhile, employees inside the store already had their own story. >> All right. Well, they're they're waiting for you, like what are we doing? >> I don't know if I'm like allowed to go out there cuz >> What So, she said she didn't pay for a red skirt and she took the pepper spray. >> And that tote bag that's in there. >> Whatever you want to get whatever you want to get and then has she been here before? >> Yep, she's been here before. She's she she goes to She's been up there a hundred times at Woodgrove. She stole something at Ulta Beauty. And she was arrested. >> Okay, so you guys have she been arrested from here before? So, she hasn't been arrested at our store before? >> Not in our store, but she was at Penny too. >> If you remembered, she originally denied the theft allegations completely, but now her story started changing when she suddenly admitted something had happened while trying to twist the situation in a different direction. >> I'm sorry. I can't pay for it. I really can't. >> But what about like all the other times? You got caught She said you got caught in a Schaumburg in December for stealing from Target. >> Yeah, and that was a totally misunder- Like that day >> You have your warrant right now. They're saying it's valid from Cook County, not Kane. >> No, no. I have my probation Look, I will show you. I I was caught >> says. I get that, ma'am. All I can go off of is this what that says. >> probation. Look. >> For what? >> Probation. >> For what? What are you on probation for? For retail theft? For batteries? What are you on What are you on probation for? >> a long time >> Okay, I get that, but I'm What are you They don't just put you on probation for nothing. What are you on probation for? >> a meeting. >> Okay. What was the charge that you're on probation for? >> For I think vacant >> For retail theft? Okay. >> In Cook County, but I have probation. He called I can call him right now. We find I talked to the judge. I'm coming in and I'm paying the $40 to quash it and I'm they're going to see me and I'm going to do my drug test and do everything tomorrow. >> Do you know like if you would have just paid for all of this, none of this would have happened today? But you have you I mean, it sounds like you might have a problem, right? Like you keep doing this. >> I don't >> You're on probation for retail theft. You got trespassed in Sep- in December from another one. And you like stole from here before? >> No, yeah. I've never been at Ulta. I've never been at Ulta. >> Like they have your picture everywhere. They know who you are. >> You have attitude with my with our security officers. >> No, [clears throat] I I never have attitude with them, ever. >> So, it seemed the suspect could no longer hide the secrets she tried to cover up. And at that point, officers began explaining the entire situation to the family member who was with her. >> What's going on? >> So, she has a Cook County warrant and a Kane County warrant. The Kane County warrant looks like it was quashed, but not the Cook County warrant. So, she'll have to go with us. We'll see if there's a bond amount. They might even say like just release her with a new court date. I don't know when the case is from, but we're going to take her and charge her with all the stuff she stole today cuz it's not like it's her first time. >> Wait, you need all my >> Everything you stole today is what we need. She knows what you stole. So, this bag, too? >> We'll just take the cart and then review everything. I need the milk, though. >> What do you have receipts for before we have to do this four or five times? This is I just want to make sure you haven't been honest with me today so far. So, I mean, I don't know. There's this Dove stuff. Is this stuff that was stolen, too? >> No, I had >> I'm just asking. I don't know. I mean, if they scan this and it comes here, like what about this Sol de Janeiro stuff that doesn't look like it's been opened? >> That's from That's not from here. >> I'm just I mean, this is what happened. >> Cuz it's open. It's open. It looks like it. >> Okay. >> The woman was charged with retail theft, possession of stolen merchandise. The moment you keep repeating the same crime while believing you can talk your way out of it, every excuse eventually stops working. One bad decision may be a mistake, but repeating it again and again only pushes the consequences closer. Next, what happened when the thief turned out to be the store's OWN EMPLOYEE? >> HELP! GET OFF OF ME! STOP! >> PUT IT IN THE CREAM. PUT IT IN YOUR TRUCK. >> LISTEN, I'll stop talking about you. >> Stop talking. >> Okay. >> I'm going to see you right now. >> On the 12th of August 2025, police received a report from a 7-Eleven store about an employee showing multiple suspicious behaviors during his 4:00 a.m. shift. After quickly arriving at the scene, the manager there gave an initial statement about the incident. >> What's going on? >> Okay. So, like we had a few audit losses back-to-back. And then, um we started watching the tapes. So, what he was doing was he was >> Was it like 5,000 the first time and 15k the last night he stole, right? >> And then um we started pulling up the surveillance tapes and we noticed like during his shift he starts like stealing stuff like crates of like merchandise, goods, drinks that are missing. And then he goes like under the pretense of throwing away trash, but then he stops by his car cuz it's reverse parked right there, hops over the trunk and dumps everything into the trunk. >> Last Wednesday when we met with you and Officer Lopez, we camped out the whole night. We were watching him clean live and he did steal headphones and drinks and stuff again, but he didn't do the trunk dump. Um and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday he doesn't work. So today is his first day back again cuz he works Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays. >> What did he What did he do on uh that >> Wednesday night he ended up stealing headphones, uh drinks and stuff. >> Is that on video, too? >> Yes, but he didn't do the trunk dump on Wednesday. Today he did the trunk dump >> did he do on uh >> Monday, Tuesday he did the Last week Monday, Tuesday he did the trunk dump. Wednesday he stole but didn't dump it into his trunk. But today again he's got like Where did >> On Wednesday? >> Oh, on Wednesday? So what he did was he drank a lot of the drinks and then he put it in his backpack. And then um the headphones he he the trash that he takes out he tossed them in there and then he went to the dumpster area and took the headphones over there and comes back. Like he stopped by his car but he didn't do anything in it. But I'm a little afraid like when we go in there I don't know if we have to call >> What's going to happen is you guys are going to stay over here. >> Okay. >> We'll go over there, we'll do all the talking and whatnot. Once we have them secure then you guys go over here, I'll go over there, and then we can start tallying the expenses that have been approved from what he was taking and placing in his car. >> Police confirmed that all of the suspect's actions were real. They then entered the store to arrest him, but things quickly spiraled out of control. >> No. There's a homeless guy in the back. >> Oh. >> No. No. Just Just ask me to leave. >> Come >> I need to hold you. >> What are you doing? >> Relax. >> What's wrong? >> Hey. >> TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S WRONG? >> RELAX. RELAX. >> WHAT IS THAT I DO? Tell me Tell me Tell me what I've done. I AM I AM RELAXED. I AM RELAXED. I AM RELAXED. >> Give us your hands. Put your hands behind your [ __ ] back. >> I am I am relaxed. Relax, guys. What am I being arrested for? Tell me what I'm being arrested for. Tell me. Tell me what I'm being arrested for. >> Relax. >> Just please please, man. >> We'll explain in a second. >> Hey. >> We'll explain in a second. >> Please please please. No. Just listen to me, please. Can I please talk? Please, man. I need to get somebody to get out for me. I can't afford this, man. >> We'll explain in a second. >> Hey. Why are you SLAMMING ME? STOP. STOP. MY BACK IS HURT. >> TURN AROUND. Turn around now. >> Turn around. >> TURN AROUND. >> WHY are you guys fighting me? >> TURN AROUND. >> WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING ME? >> TURN AROUND. >> HEY. >> OW. >> TURN AROUND. >> TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG, MAN. Stop this fighting me, man. Please stop. PLEASE. PLEASE. OW. [screaming] I'M BEING HURT. STOP, MAN. STOP, PLEASE. PLEASE, MAN. Just stop, man. >> He immediately resisted before police could explain why he was being detained, repeatedly struggling against them. Now, he used his rights as a citizen to make things even more difficult. >> Listen to me, man. I know my rights. I know my rights perfectly well. I know my rights perfectly well, man. Stop pulling me. You guys STOP PULLING ME. TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE. I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THAT. IT IS MY RIGHT TO KNOW THAT. IT IS MY RIGHT TO KNOW WHY I'M being harassed. Call one of your senior officers to cooperate cuz they all know me. All the senior officers already know me, so call call one of them. >> On your back, dude. >> Stop fighting me, man. >> ON YOUR BACK. >> STOP FIGHTING ME. TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE. I'M FIGHTING. HUH? Tell me what I've done. I'm I'm sitting right here, man. I'm sitting right here. Just tell me what I've done. Tell me what I've done. Tell me what I've Tell ME WHAT I'VE DONE. TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE. TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE, MAN. JUST TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE, MAN. I'm in here working. >> On your stomach, dude. >> Get off of me, please. Just get off of me. Tell me what I've done. >> Get up. >> I need to know what I've done. COULD YOU STOP HARASSING ME? YOU CALLED ME OUT. TOLD ME THERE'S A HOMELESS GUY. AND THEN YOU GUYS STARTED JUMPING ON ME. TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE. I KNOW MY RIGHTS. YOU GOT A [ __ ] WHO ARE YOU CALLING A [ __ ] HELP! GET OFF OF ME. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE. STOP! GET OFF OF ME, MAN. GET OFF OF ME. I NEED to know what I've done. >> [screaming] >> Police struggled for a long time before finally managing to handcuff the suspect. Once officers explained why this was happening, it was safe to say his arrogance completely collapsed. >> I like to know what I'm being arrested for. That's all I That's all I've been asking about. >> read you your rights in a minute. If you wish to talk to me now. >> Yes. >> Okay. Here's the deal, okay? Got two questions. All right. All right, tonight. What's in your What's in your trunk? Your car? >> I got a crate in my trunk. >> Okay. What's What did the crate come from? >> Uh the store. >> You took it from the store? >> Yes, it was you Why? >> Huh? >> Why? >> I I I take crates with me because I was in the back so >> Okay. Does that Does that product belong to you? >> Huh? >> Does that Does that product belong to you? >> The what? >> Does that product belong to you? >> That Is just the crate. >> Does that Does the stuff in the crate belong to you? >> What's in the crate? >> All right. I'm I'm I'm going to read your rights to you, okay? Your bosses If you own the store >> Okay. >> They have video surveillance of you in the back of the store with that crate and you putting stuff inside the crate, specifically the store merchandise, okay? Tell you what I saw, all right? You got two crates, one on top and one stacked on top of the other, all right? Like you were doing that, you put stuff in the crate. You also went from behind the store towards front of the store, grabbed some else, took the crate back there, whatever drinks you had in your hand, put it in the crate. With that crate you put that crate came outside, put that stuff at the content of the crate as well as the crate in your trunk. Okay? And also apparently there have been several instances where you've done it where your household have camera footage of you doing it, too. So, you need to be honest with me. Why? Or why did you take the stuff from back of the store, put it in the crate, put it in your trunk? >> Listen, I'll stop talking right here. >> Stop talking? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Let me say it right now. Right now you're under arrest for shoplifting and resisting without violence, okay? Let's get in the car. Put your feet in the car like an actual get. Thank you. Can you call the 10-8 over here? >> With every word from the police, he regretted his actions a little more. Moments later, the stolen items in his car were also recovered. >> Goodies. >> Oh, yeah. >> Goodies. >> Oh, it's like almost like the stuff that he took out of the store. How about that one? >> no, it was No, all we all we saw was this one. >> So that one was already in here from the security camera last time. >> Oh, last time. >> Yeah, this one is the one he took from the back. >> Why is he already over here? >> Huh? >> Why is he he said something about the 10-8's coming up? >> Oh, yeah, his car's right there. >> Oh, he's already he's already over here. I didn't know he was over here already. I didn't know. >> What did he do? >> They uh >> Uh it doesn't roll out apparently. >> What? >> I was I couldn't breathe. >> What? >> I I couldn't I couldn't breathe. That's why I was I was trying to see if you >> Oh, it's called being claustrophobic, man. >> You couldn't breathe? >> Yeah. >> There's air coming into the back of you and into the back here, so just got to calm down, take some deep breaths. You'll be all right, man. >> I'm good, man. >> Okay. >> I'm just >> Okay. >> I'm just about to get off of probation, man. >> I got you. Well, this doesn't help that. >> Let's not make that decision. >> He's not resisting or anything or using force or >> In reality, the suspect showed no shame for what he had done, and he even admitted it himself while being escorted away. >> Is it okay if I scoot right here in the middle so I can get some more air? Please. >> Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> All right. I'm claustrophobic. >> That's what it is. >> I just wanted to ask you about something. No, I was just asking, man, how bad is this looking for me? >> Yeah. >> I won't have to go before a judge to get a bond. I have no shame, man. Y'all can just tell Y'all can just say it. >> The man was charged with petty theft, resisting an officer without violence, and violation of probation. Let this be a lesson that stealing and refusing to cooperate with police will only turn a bad decision into even harsher consequences. Next, a routine traffic stop quickly unraveled after officers discovered what the driver had been hiding all along. >> You're from L, right? >> Okay. >> So, why'd you lie? >> Cuz I had a warrant. >> Yeah, yes, I believe some of it was paid for, some of it was not paid for, but I can't say what was paid for was not paid for. >> On the 11th of February, 2024, police approached a vehicle in a parking lot after suspecting it was connected to a retail theft that had just occurred at a Schnucks store. As soon as officers mentioned the incident, the two women immediately denied any involvement. >> Hello, I'm Deputy Skinner with the Champaign County Sheriff's Office. So, the reason why I pulled you over is cuz your vehicle is matching the description of the vehicle that was just in a retail theft. Over in Savoy? >> Savoy? >> Yeah, where have you guys been today? >> I just got in the car. I just picked up my daughter. >> Okay. Well, I'm going to wait here with you while we get the deputies that are on scene to come down here cuz I'm not too familiar with it what's going on there. But that's why I'm talking to you right now and I got you. >> Savoy? Savoy? Where is Savoy? My daughter arrived over there in a van. >> Okay, well >> What's Savoy? Yesterday? >> Like I said, I'm not I'm not too familiar with the whole situation. They're going to come over here and they'll talk to you more and give you more specifics. >> All right. >> Yeah, that's the reason why I'm having contact >> Okay. >> And I'm audio video recording on body camera. Okay, that's fine. Stay tight. >> Definitely I uh a van. I mean >> I'm Deputy Skinner from the Sheriff's Office. >> Hi. >> Hey, what's going on? >> I don't know. He just said something about a Savoy. I just dropped my daughter off in a van. >> Schnucks called said you stole some snacks. Schnucks in Savoy. >> I stole some snacks? >> Yeah. >> Who stole some snacks? >> You guys did. That's what they're reporting. We're not saying that's what happened, but that's why you're being stopped so we figure it out. Obviously, if you took something, it's best just to let us know so we can be done with it. >> Both of her groceries. >> Their denials were difficult for the officers to believe as they had already spotted snack items inside the vehicle matching the stolen merchandise. Even the women's clothing closely matched the descriptions provided in the report. >> They bought you stuff. >> So, all this stuff in the backseat is uh >> This stuff been up >> Okay. Cuz I'm here to tell you we're getting the receipt now, and if the stuff matches that I was just on the phone with management here at Kohl's Department Store. And they gave your two description. >> What did they say? >> Your description. >> The what? >> The black jacket, the black bonnet, she had a pink bonnet with a three-colored coat. >> This is not >> is colored pants with a large purse, so is it the red or pink? And that's what I'm looking at right now. >> This isn't worth going to jail for, believe me. >> It's really not. So, is this the stuff you guys stole? >> This No, I had to get receipt out. >> Okay. Did you guys pay for any of this stuff? >> Okay. >> I appreciate the offer. Hold on. Hold on. >> Slow down. I need an ID from both of you, please. >> have my ID. >> Okay. Do you have an ID on you, ma'am? That would be >> Isn't a shelter? >> I don't know. >> I don't >> I'd have to I'd have to look. It could be. >> Yeah, I think I was there for like a month or two. >> Okay. >> But I I don't think I would use that for the ID. >> Huh. >> I just got my ID recently, remember? And >> It's not a real big deal. It's It's just It's not an expired license is what it comes back on, but >> I I just got a new ID. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. You're going to You're going to get hurt out here. Never come back here. I'm going to get this one out. >> In reality, the value of the stolen merchandise was relatively small, and the suspects likely would have only received [music] a trespass notice and been allowed to leave. However, the false information one of the women gave to the officers changed the outcome of the entire encounter. >> Can you come back here for a second? Last chance to stop lying to me, okay? >> Okay. >> You're Chanel, right? Okay. So, why'd you lie? >> Cuz I had a warrant. >> Okay. What's your warrant for? >> For traffic. >> Okay, how old is it? >> Like 2 years. >> Okay. Just the one warrant? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, the All All this unpaid stuff was also in the purse. >> No, this this this this stuff that my sister had and we just took it out the bag and I just had my purse. >> This is also from Snooks. >> That's some stuff that she had and she gave it to me. As we taking the groceries in, she's giving me stuff. >> Okay. I'm not I'm not saying she wasn't. I'm just trying to figure it all out, okay? So, the ranch packets and all these towels and stuff. So, I got to go back down there and watch all the camera footage anyway. >> No, that has nothing >> Okay. So, I'm just going to give you a chance to be honest with me now. >> That's nothing to do with that. >> Okay. This either? >> No. >> Okay. And then who Who bought all that? Who bought all the stuff at Walmart? >> My sister. >> Okay. Where'd you guys drop her off at? >> Is she staying at abandoned? >> Okay. You know the address? >> Uh no, I don't know her address. >> And you dropped her off right >> Yeah. >> After Walmart or after Snooks or what? >> After Snooks. >> So, you went to Walmart and then Snooks and then to her home. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> The woman showed no remorse after admitting what she had done. She did not even seem to understand why she was being arrested and even after she was placed in handcuffs, she still appeared surprised by the situation. >> Hello. I'm going to call you back on my >> Does it have warrants? >> Warrants? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Just call my kids and just tell them Can I take my debit card with me? >> Yeah, we'll get that. >> We'll grab it after. All right. I'm about to say they're about to take me to jail. >> Yeah, I'll pass it to >> So, she has some warrants and they're going to jail on my back. She has some >> She has warrants for her arrest. >> I'm trying to get your sleeve out of the way and not pinch you. >> Do you have a valid license? >> I've got a SR-22. >> Expired but as otherwise valid. >> How much is her bond, y'all? >> I'll try to figure that out. I don't know if she has one or not. I'll have to see how old the warrants are. Can you step over here with me? So, I'm just going to be up front with you real quick, okay? You've been for the most part cooperative once we got it figured out, okay? So, that's my sergeant out over there in the black car, okay? And he's getting ready to watch the footage from the traffic stops for those tickets that are in your purse. Was that you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I assumed so. I said not my first day, okay? And I understand it. I get it. Not the end of the world. It's not the crime of the century, okay? You're not out killing anybody. You're not out Let me get you a tissue. >> Officers then searched the vehicle and discovered even more suspicious merchandise that was believed to have been stolen. >> Okay, the paper towels. I'm sorry. >> What about these plastic bowls? >> I don't know about it. >> Zukes? >> No. I don't think she got the bowls up there. No. >> Did you get them from uh Walmart? >> I don't know. >> Or Schnucks? There's dip inside, too. It's not in the bag. There's Sprite. There's more vegetable oil. >> No. That Sprite is not No, that Sprite is not in the bag there. >> That came from Walmart. >> Yeah, that's My daughter bought that from Walmart. >> Okay. What about this? >> Yeah, I don't know where it came from. It was uh >> Where'd this Schnucks? >> That came from Walmart over there. >> What's that Schnucks on? >> Oh, [ __ ] I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir. I'm >> So So did did she did this just get put in the purse too as Snooks or what? >> I don't know. If it says Snooks, they got to be Snooks. I ain't >> Okay. Sit there. I'm getting the word. >> No, my daughter bought this. This >> You know >> No, that cookie grease come from Walmart. I know that. >> So we don't know about these. >> No, that's right. Oh, she got that's right. This is from Walmart about this fight. This is Walmart about this. No, Walmart can't cash this. >> All right. >> No, I can't cash this. >> What's that? Can I see anything on the bottom? >> Nothing to say. >> I doubt that you can really say anything. >> I'll take it. >> Let the people ring it up and see how it goes. >> Yeah, just take it. Take it. Let's see what I can do at Walmart. >> This is I just used the bag. >> Okay, this is my baby. This is my This is >> is all from her purse. >> This This here was already in the car. It's my grandbaby. She had >> Okay, that wasn't on the floor. It's okay. >> Okay, he had it yesterday. >> This all came from her purse. I just put it in a Walmart bag. >> All this cheap stuff that both of them stole yesterday is getting put back out. >> As for the other woman, officers gave her another chance to be honest and admit what she had done. After [music] repeated questioning from the officers, she finally began admitting to the theft, showing little to no remorse. >> What up? >> What? How did the Walmart theft go? We already got Snooks figured out, okay? And I'm not even giving you a chance to say that Walmart was paid for because I'm already past that. I know it wasn't. >> My daughter did pay for it. >> No, she didn't. Last chance. So what happened at Walmart? >> You said I don't want to go to jail. You just said I don't want to go to go to jail. >> If If you're honest with me, I'll write you the NTA. If you're going to keep lying to me, a notice to appear. >> Okay. >> If you're going to keep lying to me, then I might as well just go to jail. >> Okay. Well, I'm not going to lie to you. Yeah, some of them was stolen now. >> Okay. So how So what happened at Walmart? Did we pay for part of it in self-checkout and leave? Did we cuz they're they're getting their footage right now. >> Yeah, I told you. >> I'm going to figure out. I just told her. "I'm going to have the answer." >> Yes. Yes. I mean, some of it was paid for, some of it was not paid for. I can't say what was paid for was not paid for. I can't say that. >> Okay. >> To be honest. >> Like I said, I'm just giving you that chance to be honest. >> But I know. Yes. >> But some of it was paid for? >> Some of it was not paid for. >> Okay. >> Like I said, I don't know what. >> Okay. So, I'll figure all that out then, okay? >> Here, you can take it all for all I care. Go on. I don't go to jail. I don't care. I don't know. Hey, I mean, you know. >> I am taking it all. And then if >> I mean, I don't >> If I find out some was paid for, I'll get that back to you, okay? >> Like I said, I don't know some of it was paid for, some of it I don't know what was and what was not. I'm keeping it. I don't know. >> That's fine. I appreciate that honesty, okay? >> She can work that out with Walmart. >> Yeah. >> We're not giving any of it back. Go to Walmart business. >> So, all right, sir. Like I said, you can have it all. >> All right. Hang on. Just a second, okay? So, there's your copy. Your court date is on February 29th at 1:30 p.m. at the courthouse here in Urbana, okay? Make sure you go to that. Otherwise, you have a warrant. All right? >> Yeah. >> And it tells you that it's for retail theft. There's the statute and all your information up top, okay? >> Okay. >> Any other questions for us? >> In the end, the women were cited for retail theft [music] while one of them was also charged with obstructing identification and arrested on an outstanding warrant. A small theft might not lead to jail, but lying about your identity and hiding the truth can quickly make the situation much worse. Being honest from the beginning often leads to a better outcome. >> Good. Good. >> Brooke. Brooke, get off of me. Get off of me. Oh, grab my phone. No. No. I need it now. My cigarettes, my phone, my money, everything. >> On the 15th of September, 2025, officers [snorts] responded to a report of a shoplifter woman who had gotten into a physical altercation with an employee inside a store. Even after police arrived, they still had to struggle with her, and back up officers were eventually called in to assist. >> Excuse me, sir. Everybody needs to go on the side. >> Yo. Yo. Back up. Back up. Yo. Let's go. Back up. Back up. Go. Go. >> Bro. Bro, get off of me. Get off of me. >> Go. >> Get off of me. >> Okay. Okay.

I'MMA GET UP, BRO. >> Officers escorted the woman outside so she would not disturb the other customers inside the store. However, that did [music] little to calm the situation as she continued causing a loud disturbance outside as well. >> Y'all weird. >> SIT [screaming] UP. >> Y'ALL DON'T TOUCH ME NOW. >> SIT UP. >> I'M [ __ ] HERE. >> Sit up. Let's go. >> Yo. >> Let's go. >> Yo, bro. THAT'S WEIRD. OW. >> STOP. [screaming] PLEASE STOP. >> TRY TO PICK HER UP. >> BRO, THAT HURT. STOP. STOP. STOP. >> 1 2 3 GO. >> [screaming] >> YO! BRO!
