What she get today? >> this is a felony amount over a thousand. >> Over? >> Um >> In reality, it was true that the woman had not actually stolen anything as she had been stopped by staff before leaving the store with the merchandise. Even loss prevention acknowledged that they were familiar with her. >> And then >> All right. What time is that? >> It's 2:08. >> Okay. >> You got all outside garden and they said I reached the profile of it. >> And there >> Oh, the 10 Okay.

Like I honestly was not. I have a wallet full of credit cards and stuff. I was not trying to steal. >> That's why we have court dates. >> Okay, well, I'm not going to get a bond for this, am I? >> You will on Monday when you see the judge. >> I have to sit in jail until Monday? >> Yes, ma'am. >> How was it a felony? >> Misdemeanor amount in Georgia is $500.

I was going out there to look at mulch and plants, and I was going to come back in and pay for my stuff. Maybe I should have left the buggy sitting by the damn register. [ __ ] I I didn't think. I was on the phone. I have I'm a homeowner. Like, I I don't understand this. >> The woman was charged with felony shoplifting for allegedly attempting to leave Home Depot with a shopping cart containing merchandise valued at approximately $775. Acting defensive and escalating the situation when confronted by authorities or store staff only worsened the outcome, turning a preventable misunderstanding into a felony-level charge. Next, this became a lesson in the consequences of trying to sell stolen property. >> Really nice clothes, some some shoes, but I I didn't see any I don't I don't have any alarm on it. >> On the 25th of May, 2024, officers approached a man who was attempting to sell items at a second-hand fashion store. The troubling part was that the merchandise he brought in was suspected to be stolen. When officers made contact, he appeared nervous and hesitant, which only made him look even more suspicious. >> Hello, sir. How are you? >> Hello, sir. How are >> Can I speak to you for a second? >> Sure. >> You were just in here? >> Yes. >> At the Home Depot? Can you step out for a second? >> Yes. >> So, I just have a couple questions for you. So, we got a call here saying that you were kind of returning some items. >> No. >> Okay. Uh give me a second. 53? 53. So, we got a call saying that you were in there grabbing some material or some items and you were trying to return them. What >> a lie. >> It's a lie. Why is it a lie? >> Well, I was trying to return some items. >> Yeah. >> No. >> No, you weren't trying to return anything? >> No. >> Okay. Do you have your ID with you for >> I do not. >> Okay. Can I get your name? >> Yes. >> You were just in there looking to buy some stuff or what? Okay, cuz that's not the information that we got, so we wanted to talk to you and see what was going on. >> Okay. >> Okay. Did you make a purchase? >> No, I haven't made a purchase, no. >> Okay, so why would they tell us that you were trying to take stuff? >> That I was trying to take things? >> Yeah. >> Um I don't know why they would say that. I wasn't trying to take anything. >> That you were trying to return some stuff with uh uh the alarm button on there. >> Say what? >> That you were trying to return items to them. >> With an alarm button on it? >> Correct. The the little um >> The sensor. >> sensor. I'm sorry, the sensor. >> I didn't try to return anything with any alarm on it. >> So if you go in there and they tell us and we see you on camera, you're not doing any of that? >> No. >> Okay, so what were you doing in there? >> What do you mean? What was I doing in there? >> Right. What were you doing in there that that's not what you were doing? >> I was just checking to see what what they were doing what they had with the stuff that I had. I didn't know there was any alarm item on it. >> So what stuff did you have? >> Uh I had a few things, but I didn't see anything with an alarm on it. >> Okay. But you had a few >> If the items had truly belonged to him, he should have known exactly what he was carrying. His confusion and uncertainty only made the officer's suspicions seem even more justified. >> the clothing that you just described to me. >> Looking to purchase the clothing? No. >> What were you going to do with them? The ones that you had. The ones that you had. >> that I had, I was waiting for them to to to trade in. >> You were going to trade in? >> They haven't even They haven't even done it yet. >> Trade in for what? So it was your clothing? >> I No, I No. >> Cuz I'm confused. You're saying you have clothing, what were you going to do with that clothing? >> I'm sorry, but I wasn't I'm not clear with that. I'm sorry. I I have clothing I returned here, but I don't have I didn't have any clothing with the with the tag on it. >> And that clothing you returned you purchased you purchased it here? >> No. No, no. Not at all. >> So where did you purchase that? >> I I got it from a friend. I was just trying to return it, to be honest. >> And you do have a receipt for that? >> Uh No, I'm not trying to return them like trying to get money for it, you know what I'm saying? Like My friend just gave it to me and I just went brought it over here. I didn't see any big deal with it. I didn't think that there was anything wrong with it, honestly. It's from a reputable source, like >> So, you didn't grab that clothing from the store? >> No, I didn't. >> And try to return it. >> No. >> Your friend gave it to you. >> No, I didn't try to grab any clothing from the store. >> Okay. Give me a second, Russell, okay? >> Yeah. >> The man's story was completely inconsistent, as if he was blurting out whatever excuse came to mind. Moments later, the officer entered the store to hear the employees' side of the story. >> Yeah, so, um, this guy comes in to sell some of his clothing. >> Okay. >> And, um, we're going through the stuff and we see that the stuff has our sensors on it. >> Okay. >> And we have sticker tags for our stuff and they're ripped off the clothing. And, uh, one of the ladies that was outside said that she saw him leave with some of our shoes. >> Okay. Right now? >> Uh, yeah, it was about like 20, 30 minutes ago. >> Okay. >> Yeah, and he's just been coming in and out. And for our process, you have to use a phone number and he gave us this name and this phone number. I'm not sure if it's really him or not, but >> This is what he said his name was, but the phone number is not the right one. So, as of right now, he has a pair of shoes that he did not pay for. Yeah. And he's back there. Okay. And then he tried to return, um, clothing that he grabbed from here with sensors. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Can I just the sensor? I just wanted to just >> This is all what I found. >> Okay. Okay. Um, let me just get your name. Now, >> It turned out that everything appeared to contradict the man's earlier denials. Returning to him, the officers bluntly confronted him with their suspicions. >> I'll be completely honest with you, man. >> Okay. >> All right. I know that she's going to go in there and check what's going on. Uh, but here's the deal. Uh, it's not our first day. This is not our 10th day. We've been doing this for a long time. >> Okay. >> So, here's what we need to find out. >> Okay. >> They're saying you were trying to sell some items that they believe you took from this store. >> Right. >> So, that's what we're here to figure out. >> All right, no problem. >> Um so, until we figure that out, you're going to be detained. Do you understand what that means? >> What? >> You can't leave. >> Well, okay. >> So, we're just going to figure this out. So, anything you have to say would help us out here. >> I made you say that. >> How many items did you bring in? >> I brought in a lot of items, bro. >> Okay. Where did you get those items? >> I got them from from friends. Somebody just gave them to me. He said, "Hey, >> gives you a What you going to do? >> says, "Hey, sell these. I got these for sale. Sell them." I mean, that's it. I don't know what else to say. >> Okay, well. If somebody told you to go sell some items and that's really what happened, then that's what happened. What's your friend's name? >> Uh I don't think I should sa- tell you like that. >> Okay. >> I mean, I really don't >> So, Joshua, here's here's the thing. Let me tell you Let me tell you something else. >> Okay. >> Okay. Again, as I told you before, this is not my first day. >> Uh-huh. >> Uh The way that this works is uh we usually know a lot more than we say when we're asking questions. >> Uh-huh. >> Uh we're just going to see what you say. >> Okay. >> Uh >> That's fair. >> So, as far as the motel, what room you're staying at and who you're staying with, that information is super easily available to >> Okay. >> find out both of those things very easily. >> I'm not I don't have a >> So, here's here's the thing. >> He still insisted that he was innocent, but everything changed when he learned he was about to be handcuffed. His next action indirectly revealed far more than his words ever could and only made him appear even more guilty. >> I'm calling you. >> I don't like this. >> STOP! POLICE! YOU'RE GOING TO GET TASED! >> AH! DAMN IT, MAN! >> POLICE, UH >> OW! >> Fix a foot chase. Stop moving, you're going to get tased again. Three, get out here. Stop! >> And why did you tase me? Stop! Why did you tase me? Go go away. right. >> Why? >> Stop. Go go away. >> Why? >> Stop. You are under arrest. >> Wow. >> Careful of the cuffs. Be careful of the little sparks. There you You are under arrest. >> What am I under arrest for? >> Resisting and obstructing. >> Resisting? >> Yep. >> All >> Is the free? >> It's free. On medical custody. >> Roll medical for taser. >> Roll medical Roll medical for taser deployment. >> The officers successfully took the suspect into custody, but even then, the man had no intention of admitting any wrongdoing. Instead, he came up with an excuse for fleeing that sounded more unbelievable than ever. >> Ow. >> Why did you run? >> I don't know, man. I always feel like running whenever a cop is around. So, you're telling me I'm detained and I'm not >> Is there something to hide in there? >> No. >> You're under arrest, Josh. >> So, what's the word, guys? >> That you're under arrest. They said they saw you walk out with a pair of sandals. That's the word, my man. Okay? >> out with a pair of sandals and I didn't change and I didn't change. Questions. What the hell? >> I don't know. That's my >> I guess yours. >> Yeah, and you were trying to return items that were theirs already. They have the sensors. I looked at them. Okay? >> even Okay. So, what do they say What's the charge? >> You'll get all that information in a minute, okay? >> Okay. >> Okay. I didn't want to tase you. >> It's okay. >> I had no interest in doing that. I wish you would have complied. >> I understand. I just just thought felt like you guys were like cornering me in and I was like, "Okay, I was >> Truth is the truth. Whatever the truth is >> Yeah. >> we deal with that and move on. It's not the end of the world. >> That's true. >> I told you you were detained. >> I took off running. Um you to go to the hospital right now? >> The man was charged with obstructing and resisting arrest. This case showed that contradictory stories, evasive answers, and attempts to flee only made the situation worse. Cooperating with investigators and being honest from the start would have been far more helpful than creating additional suspicion. Before moving on to the next suspect, we turn to the chaos unfolding at this airport. >> This is the worst day of my life. >> No, we'll get this. >> Don't touch me. You don't touch me. >> Are you going to leave? >> We have to leave. You're going to get a plane to back up my car. We have to go. >> Take me. >> No. >> Take me. >> On the 9th of September, 2023, police received a report from an airport regarding a passenger being denied boarding. The suspect was a woman suspected of being intoxicated and exhibiting loss of control behavior. This was what happened when police arrived at the scene. >> How you doing? >> Is Is it talking >> Let me get a book for This lady's being denied boarding for her intox and unruly. >> Yeah. >> And she doesn't want to >> I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad you're here. >> I'll talk to you in a minute. Let me talk to him first. >> Um, I offered her to rebook her and >> No, you didn't. You said >> I just said I just said I'm going to talk to him first and I'll talk to you. >> Okay. >> Relax. >> I offered to rebook her and she just went off. So, I denied her boarding. She's got to go. >> Okay, but are you going to Are you going to rebook her for tomorrow? >> No. >> So, you don't want to deal with this woman anymore. >> I mean, there's no flight. There's no seats to Houston anyway. >> All right. So, are you going to refund her? >> I told her I would refund her. >> No, you didn't. >> Is there any flight that has two seats available for you? >> Just relax a little bit. Just relax. You're trying to get worked up. You got a hundred other airlines here. You just need to calm down and you know, that's it. >> What's the best option for tomorrow with two seats? >> I need to get home to my kids tonight. >> Can you just calm her down? >> I have. >> We got delayed because of Southwest last night. >> Is Is there any flight that has two seats? >> And he says because I'm too old, [clears throat] he won't rebook me tonight. >> No. >> lying.

I got to get to my kids. I don't want to go to work. I want to go to my kids. >> The woman appeared increasingly panicked, further supporting the airline's claim regarding her behavior. Police were forced to step in and attempt to calm her down in order to bring the situation under control. >> She doesn't want to listen. You see, that's your problem is that you've got this like you've got this attitude. You need to just bring it down. Listen to your husband, whoever he is, and go over there and calm down. Just take a breath. Take a breath. Walk over there. Don't bring that attitude over here with me. Told you like three times already. Just bring him over there. >> I'm trying. I can't. >> You're not doing anything. They're not doing business with you anymore. >> Yeah, so >> They're not doing business with you anymore. And you guys are like, you know what? You guys are going to be refunded. So you So listen, just take her away before she gets arrested for disorderly conduct cuz that's the next thing. >> You go with me. >> me. Walk with me, please. Please just leave all that inside. Cuz she keeps acting up, then we're going to trespass Okay, so so you need to go find another airline. >> We We are. >> No, you're not dealing with You're not dealing with Southwest again. >> Southwest or another airline? >> I'm going to be calm. >> Ask Jose. >> Hold on. Let me get on the phone. >> We've already paid in full. We We are like >> You've been refunded. >> Like the top status crew. >> Listen, she's You need to interject cuz she's like close. I appreciate She's getting close. >> The officer's attempts to calm her down, along with efforts from her husband, appeared to fail as her behavior only escalated. Her temperament worsened, and the situation quickly became more chaotic and DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. >> [music] >> FACED WITH A CLEAR LEGAL WARNING FROM THE POLICE, the woman was forced to become more composed. Shortly after, airport officials delivered their decision regarding her conduct. >> I would like to officially Do you put file a restraining order on Mr. Jose? The expiration date. >> You're right. >> 1 year. >> 1 year? >> Yes, 1 year. >> Do not go back over there. Do not go back here. Go back over there. It's It's done. Now you got to leave the airport. You have to leave the airport now. You've been trespassed. I'm asking you to leave the airport. If you don't leave, you're going to subject to arrest. I'm giving you a warning. You That's it. It's over. Find another airline and that's it. Okay? >> to flight out, you got to be notified. If you don't notify, you will be subject to arrest. >> You didn't tell me. I'm the one who's cheering. >> All right, listen. You guys have to leave. Are you going to leave? >> I'm going to leave here on the flight I booked to go home to Texas. >> That's not going to happen. Are you going to leave? I'm asking you to leave. Are you going to leave? >> Peace. >> Are you going to leave? You have to leave. You're going to get a criminal trespass. You have to go. >> Take me. >> No. Please, don't. Please. >> She had clearly refused the opportunity to leave the situation peacefully. This was her choice and at this point anything she attempted to do to reverse it had already come too late. >> Unfortunately, Southwest was unable to accommodate you at this time. But my my job is going to go above and beyond to help you guys find another airline or another way to be able to get home and instead you wanted to argue with a Southwest who was not going to help you today. You argued I said you were arguing with Southwest. You were arguing with the manager. >> Who's the manager? >> The person you were speaking with. >> Who? >> Jose. The one you're so mad at. >> The [ __ ] gay ass dude. He was like, all right, I ain't going to try to talk to you. He called me a [ __ ] [ __ ] Do you know that? He called me a He called me a He called me a high maintenance Earlier today on the beach at lunch at noon we went to the Ricky Tiki Tavern And then, I did have a drink. [laughter] >> Do you know how much you had to drink? >> Yeah, I had one Pina Colada. >> Is that it? >> That's it. [laughter] I I just went crazy cuz they're being so mean mean to me. And you know, like the gay guy came at me cuz I'm a man in a dress. And he's like, "You ain't going He goes, he kept saying, "You ain't going home." the word tonight. >> Hello. >> Then he he was pro- provoking me. >> She was formally charged with disorderly conduct, non-compliance with lawful orders, and issued a 1-year airport trespass ban. Once lawful instructions are ignored, especially in a public and security sensitive setting, consequences escalate quickly. The appropriate response to disputes is compliance first, followed by formal complaint procedures, not continued confrontation. >> [music] >> Next, this man turned a shoplifting incident into a bicycle pursuit. >> Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. >> Get your hand out of your backpack. >> I was going to sell it. I was going to I was going to go buy food and put it and put it uh >> Okay. >> On the 22nd of August, 2024, police received a report that two men had been stuffing multiple bottles of alcohol into their backpacks to steal them. One of them, 48-year-old Jerry, fled the scene on a bicycle, triggering a tense police pursuit. >> 905 309 Just be advised I have a heart. 905 905, he's not stopping. I've got a state out with me. We're at a This is always HE JUST STOP! 905, MY LEG IS OUT WITH ME. GET YOUR hand out of your backpack. Sit up. Sit up on the curb, dude. Why you running? You got a warrant? You on bond? >> Do you need medical attention? The man had exhausted nearly all of his energy trying to escape, leaving him completely worn out and barely able to answer any of the officer's questions. >> You didn't hear my sirens? What about your eyes? Are you blind? Cuz you looked at me multiple times. In the intersection, you drove right by me. You're trying to get to safety? >> Trying to get to safety? Why you crossing Highway 16 multiple times? That's not very safe, is it? >> Just alcohol, boss. I don't know why you're running. You got a warrant? No? >> They're coming. What does that do to your vision? And don't stop you from stealing? You know what I'm saying, man? Walmart's like the worst place you could steal from. They're watching. They're coming. Yeah, that's what he says. You have a driver's license or or identification card? Nothing in your backpack? He repeatedly used his personal condition as an excuse to change the subject whenever officers brought up the earlier theft. He even appeared to deny responsibility at first, but that effort quickly collapsed under pressure from the police. >> You guys You had to go to Walmart and steal it? >> No. No, I was I I was going to go >> Like you know how how dumb that is? >> I understand it, but I've seen I've seen him around. But I I understand I only I've come to see him here with him about to fight him. We just since yesterday morning. >> Okay. >> So >> I would understand that and I would buy that if you were stealing a loaf of bread, peanut butter, food, whatever. Your backpack's full of alcohol, dude. >> I understand that. I was I was going to sell it I was going to I was going to go buy food and put it put it uh >> Okay. So, if I'm in a position where I can't afford food and I haven't eaten for over a day, I'm probably looking to just steal a quick bite to eat. I would understand that. But you you have a backpack full of alcohol and you're running from the cops. >> I've been homeless for almost a year now. >> Okay. >> Well, I got a bus pass and everything. So, it was just a desperate, stupid, dumb measure. >> Okay. >> The suspect was found to have stolen three bottles of tequila, two bottles of whiskey, and a set of bicycle lights, all of which were brand new and still sealed with security tags attached. Officers later recovered all of the stolen items. >> He's got some brand new >> What's that? >> I would set him down. I'm not going to Well, okay. That's good. Oh, I didn't see you had that on you. Um there's some bike lights in there that were I'm guessing stolen, too. I'm guessing. Those don't look like they've been in his backpack long. I can look at video. I probably got it. Yeah, but look. He didn't Hey. He didn't hit his head at all. >> Oh, he didn't? >> No, he didn't hit his head at all. >> He fell a bike, though? >> No, he hit this. He hit like this and went No, he didn't. I just looked at the video. >> We need to get you a hand. I'll get those cuffs off. Jerry, what hospital do you go to? I'm going to I'm going to start getting some vital signs. She's going to check your blood sugar. >> At first, the man had plenty of energy to run. Now, he was bringing up all kinds of medical conditions as if they would change anything. They didn't, and the officers had already made up their minds. >> And because he's going to jail. >> What's that? >> to jail, yeah. Oh, yeah, you're going to jail. It doesn't matter how long you sit in the hospital for. >> Ready to stand? >> I should I should have been taking medication from my future as a dude, but honestly, I get paranoid. I haven't been to sleep in 2 days. >> Okay, that has nothing to do with you stealing, nothing to do with you bail jumping, nothing to do with you fleeing. >> I'm just I'm just trying to figure this out for myself, but I think I don't know how. >> Can Can we Can we work on getting in the ambulance first, then we can talk about everything else, all right? >> Bed moves. Can you lay back, though? Swing your feet up. You got it. >> You're in charge with retail theft, bail jumping, and felony fleeing, okay? >> Felony fleeing? What Why is it felony fleeing? >> Cuz you fled. >> So, any fleeing is felony? >> Yes. >> That's why you need to make better choices. If you're going to be cruising around with him, >> Yeah, I'll take that with me. I'm going to I'm going to have to ride down with him. >> Yeah, now that he knows he's going. Um, he asked if they could do an X-ray in there and not the hospital, so I'm guessing he's like second-guessing what he's doing when he talks about jail, so. >> If you want to take the alcohol back to Walmart, >> Sure. Yeah, I can do that. >> Jerry was ultimately convicted of felony fleeing, eluding an officer, retail theft, and two counts of bail jumping. Taking responsibility for your actions is always better than running away as excuses and avoidance only lead to more serious consequences. Next, this woman caused a major disturbance after trying to get free food. >> I know my rights. >> You have no rights on private property. If they don't want you there, you have to leave. >> Don't fight. >> Don't fight. >> On the 4th of February, 2025, police were dispatched to a restaurant restroom after receiving reports that a woman had hidden inside for an hour to avoid paying for services. This was what happened next. >> West Palm Beach police, open up. This is West Palm Beach police. You got to open up the door. It's not public, it's private. You've been there in an hour. They need you to leave. It is a private business. They want you to leave. If you do not leave, you will go to jail. And this is your last warning. Come out, open the door. You're refusing to leave. That is what you're doing wrong. It's called trespassing. >> Clearly, if she had done nothing wrong, why wouldn't she open the door? Her stubborn refusal to come out only made the situation worse. Even after she finally agreed to open the door, things did not get any better. >> Been in there for an hour. You could have taken care of it already. You need to leave. Let's go. Come out. Leave. >> I don't need to leave. >> You You want to You want to go in handcuffs? Let's go. We're going to tell you this one last time. If you don't leave, you're going to go in in handcuffs. Let's go. >> I'm going where? >> To jail. >> For trespassing. >> For trespassing. Drop your stuff and leave. >> Private property. >> Private property. >> I have to leave now? How am I How am I trespassing? I know my rights. >> Ma'am, we told you this is private >> I know my rights. Okay. I hear you. I understand you, but I am leaving in 2 minutes. >> Listen, I'm going to give you a last warning. If you don't leave, you're going in in handcuffs. >> All right. So, I'm leaving. >> Do not come back on this property. You're trespassing. >> How How am I trespassing? >> Step out. Step out. >> Leave the property. >> Step out. Step out of the property, or you're going in in handcuffs. Ma'am, did you hear what I said? >> She continued putting on makeup as if trying to prove she was completely calm, but by that point, she was already violating the trespass order that had been issued. She even acted entitled, insisting she had the right to be there while denying any wrongdoing. >> I was using the bathroom. I have my >> matter. Other people need to use the bathroom. >> my rights. >> You have no rights on private property. If they don't want you there, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE. >> PRIVATE PROPERTY. This is a public restaurant. You know what? >> This is your last chance. Leave or you go to jail. >> I'm off the property. >> No, you're not. You're still in their parking lot. >> you guys want her to leave, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Cuz it smells like weed. >> You're on the parking lot. >> Okay. All right. And who's the manager? You're the manager. Okay. And you want her to leave the property. Okay. >> Ma'am. This is the manager. She's asking you to leave. All right? As of right now, you need to leave the property. I'm going to tell you this one last time. If you don't leave, you're going to go in handcuffs. Ma'am, leave the property. >> Thank you so much for letting me handle my medical issues. What is your name? >> Officer Charles. >> Charles >> Yes. >> And Nicholas, thank you for not helping me. >> Okay. >> You do not know how to >> the medics. You want to go to the hospital, we'll call the medics. >> I don't need the medics. I was handling my issues. I'm going to school. Doesn't matter how long it takes. If I'm an hour, there's two bathrooms. Mother They don't have to let you use them. >> It seemed the woman was leaving without any issues, but things were far from peaceful. 20 minutes later, she returned to that same restroom and even caused a disturbance when the police arrived. >> I'm going to love this situation something like that. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I'm staying. >> [snorts] >> Come out. >> All right, you just got me. What are you doing? >> Don't fight. >> Don't fight. >> What are you doing? You should just let me order food. What are you doing? >> [clears throat] >> You just said I could order food. She just said I could order food. Goodnight. What's going on? >> I'm just a restaurant. >> Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I I KNOW MY RIGHTS. WAIT. >> DON'T FIGHT. >> WAIT. >> You're fighting and going to get hurt. Wait. I'm telling you. Put your hands together. >> Girls, did you let me get to order our food? YOU DID NOT JUST SAY I could order food. >> No, you told me you could >> Probably she shouldn't be playing right now, is it? >> You just pulled me down. I was calmly calmly saying I asked you if I could order food. You don't have to call them again. >> Relax. Relax. Relax. >> Can I please just >> Relax. >> Can you please stop? >> We're not stopping. >> Can you please stop? >> Right now. Right now. >> For what? >> Right now. Relax. >> For what? For what? For what? You just said I could order food. >> You went to the bathroom and I told you they just told you to leave and then you say you're stopping to >> Let's go. >> Please. >> She still failed to recognize the mistake she had made. The officers tried to place her into the patrol car, but that proved far from easy as the woman continued playing the victim throughout the arrest. >> Let's put her in the car. >> I need my drink. >> I might have more on me. >> I got my phone. >> drink, please. One of you get my drink. >> No. >> Please. >> Stop. What you're doing right now is not helping. >> What you're doing is illegal. OH MY GOD. NO, LET ME UP. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BREAK MY GRANDMOTHER UP. I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM. LET ME UP. NO. NO. >> JUST LEAVE HER. >> NO. >> All right. All right. >> No. You just broke up All of my nails. >> [laughter] >> Just let her be. All right, stand up. GET IN THE CAR. >> WHAT ARE THOSE? WHAT ARE THOSE? WHAT ARE THOSE? WHAT ARE THOSE? >> She got out of the cuffs. She got out of the cuffs. >> The woman was convicted of criminal trespass. Arguing about your rights means nothing if you're actively ignoring a lawful order. Had she simply left when asked, the situation would have ended there. But her refusal to comply turned a simple dispute into an arrest and criminal conviction. Next, the man was even found using his shoe as a makeshift wallet to store his money. >> Can I search? No, nothing. >> Turn around. Stand by your back. >> That's the money in there. I must keep them in the wallet. >> You messed up putting in your wallet. >> On the 29th of September, 2025, deputies received a call from the airport reporting that a theft had just taken place. A man was suspected of taking another passenger's wallet from a TSA security screening bin. This was what unfolded when deputies arrived at the scene. >> How you doing, man? What did you say? What happened? >> Um clearly I was walking through the I guess TSA screening line or whatever. >> Line nine? >> Yeah, this one right here. This one. >> Which one? This one? Eight or nine? >> Nine, but I was on the left >> Okay. >> left side. >> Mhm. >> Put my bag and my wallet and my phone. That's what I had in my hand. >> Okay. >> I put it in the bin. Of course I had to wait for them to check me cuz this is a prosthetic leg. >> Okay. >> So of course you know I already know the procedure to take out it. So by the time I came out, that's what I'm saying, I had people waiting on me. By the time I came out, that's my thing. I was my bag, my phone was there. >> So, you got your bag and your phone, and you didn't find your wallet. >> Didn't find my wallet. >> Oh, okay. So, over here we got somebody you know, we saw him on camera, so he's in custody right now. Are you willing to press charges against this guy? Do you have your ID with you? >> Well, he has it in my wallet. >> Did you Did you have any money in your wallet? How much money do you have in your wallet? >> I honestly don't know. >> Over 25? >> No, uh let me try to count it up. Um it was over 25. I know that cuz I was playing games. >> 25 dollars? Is that it? >> Yeah, I mean more than five, not like a 20. It was split up. >> Okay. >> But >> No, I didn't have more than 25 dollars. >> Yeah, no more than that. >> Shortly afterward, deputies approached the suspect. He admitted to taking the wallet, but he still insisted that he had grabbed it by mistake and never intentionally stole it. >> Say stand up, sir. >> No, nothing. >> Turn around. Stand behind your back. >> Yeah, I don't need any of that. >> You're sitting here for this because you did you brought this on yourself, right? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. You want to ask him any questions? >> Yes. >> You want to search his wallet? I heard you got your phone go through his bag. So, let's let's walk him out. >> Okay. >> We don't have ID. We just got to We got a social security card on him. We haven't went through his stuff yet. >> Okay. >> Yeah, his name's Anthony uh Do you have any ID in there? Do you have any ID in there or a passport? >> Social security card. >> Is that the only thing you have? >> And I have a shoe, have a You got to have an ID otherwise you'll be fine, right? >> Who is Lucas Magongwa? >> It was clear that he had no identification on him, which only raised more suspicion that he had come there with the intention of stealing. More importantly, the missing wallet was still nowhere to be found, leaving its whereabouts a complete mystery. >> I have it. >> The wallet he had in his pocket and >> Hey Sarge. So the victim's wallet, we haven't went through his bag yet. We haven't recovered a wallet yet. So the victim's over here wanting his wallet back obviously, so we haven't went through any of his stuff. Clearly on video you're watching me All right. >> All right, like I said, uh, before I ask you any question, I need to ask you video right, okay? So what? >> I grabbed the I got reached in the wrong bin cuz I had a I had a bag with >> Okay. But did you have a black wallet? Is that my question? >> Um >> Got a straight up >> I was walking. >> Huh? >> I was walking around. >> But you picked up a black one, a Gucci. >> by accident. >> By accident. >> I was walking around. Excuse me. >> Okay. >> He has a straight up It's very very noticeable. >> Yeah, it's very noticeable that that wasn't your wallet that you picked up. I don't think that was an accident if you if you ask me. >> The man tried to reduce his responsibility by claiming he had simply grabbed the wrong wallet by mistake, but his story quickly became suspicious when the stolen cash from the wallet was found inside his shoe. >> How much money do you have do you have in your own wallet? Huh? >> 45. 20 I think is still in my shoe. >> You have any money You have this money in your shoes? Is that your money or the money you took from the other wallet? Your money in your shoe. What about the money we found in the wallet there? Huh? Hey, you have Would you foot out there for me, please. You have any You have any gloves? Yeah, let me see your stuff. What's this green box? The green part? There's nothing in there. Let me see all the food. That's the money in there. >> You messed up the number one. >> You messed up putting it in your wallet. Okay. It's about 30 30 dollars you said? Okay. So, this money, the 30 dollars, that's the money you took from the other wallet? From the Gucci wallet? Okay. All right. All right, put it put it forward. You said it's about like he took about 20 dollars from the guy's wallet. Yeah. >> To confirm whether the recovered cash actually belonged to the victim, the officers returned to the victim to clarify the details. >> So, you said you have more than 25 dollars, right? All right, so I gave you the wallet already. Did I? This is what we got on him. One. You remember that? That's a five. One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight. Nine, 10. 11, 12, 13, 14. 15, 16. I had 14. 15. Plus 20 plus a 20. That's exactly what I told you, too. >> I promise you, it could have been. I have stuff folded in my wallet. I know I just wore this playing game. >> Okay. >> So, there could have been some extra in there, but I know that's a fact. I had 20 or more. >> 20 or more. That's less than 20. >> Yeah. That's what I said. >> All right. So. All right. This money is returned to you. Okay? >> Thank you. >> And we count the money. 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 dollars. All right? >> What? >> All right. >> So, my money. >> So, you said uh can we release the press charges, right? >> I am. >> Okay. >> He was charged with theft and possession of a stolen credit or debit card. The incident shows how a simple mistake claim can quickly collapse when physical evidence does not match the story. What do you think about cases like this?

Next, this woman pushed the situation into an even more intense escalation. >> Did she have a bag, too? Did she have a bag, too? >> Oh, I There it is. I see it. I see the green. >> Take her down. >> No, I don't. I don't. I don't. OH, STOP. OH, STOP. OH, STOP. [laughter] OH, STOP. >> On the 31st of July, 2025, officers received a call from Walmart reporting that a woman had returned to the store despite previously being trespassed. The moment they arrived on scene, officers began monitoring all of the woman's movements through the surveillance cameras. >> The Indian girl? >> Yeah. >> Is she real short, real dark? >> No, it's real dark, but probably about that tall. She's got a couple bags, black. >> Sure. >> She came walking from uh garden, around garden from automotive, and then walked right along the front. >> I'll see if I can find her. I think she's talking about. >> Black hat. >> Joe called me about. >> She was wearing a gray shirt, backpack, and a hat. >> I think that's who he called. >> She walked in with a backpack? >> Yeah, we don't I don't think we saw that one. She's talking about a hat. >> That's No, that's Kaniego. >> I saw a conversation with this girl and uh she's talking to some guy about like being a father to her new kid. >> Oh, no. >> [laughter] >> Crazy. >> I got a bad back. >> She's always in here, though. >> Yeah. >> You said that last time and then they stole something. >> Who? >> You don't remember? >> I look at the guy that got arrested. >> Let's take her to jail. >> How many got just walked by there? >> No, that was the first time before we got her. >> Yeah. >> She's in here twice. >> I want to let her try and buy her. >> I want to get her now. She looked at her bag, too. >> She had a big one. >> Yeah, I think she did. >> I'm going to check the aisle. >> Check the Wi-Fi. The aisle, see if there's any packaging for it or anything. >> Or if she built one. >> We looked at her bag now, though. >> Yeah, it looks like it's kind of bulging out. >> now, though. >> So, she When I When I walked by the side of her >> Uh-huh. >> I noticed something in her bag. >> Yeah, she can build out her bag, though. >> Oh, right. There it is. I see the I see the green. >> So, this time, the woman also appeared to be planning to steal again. The moment she showed signs of leaving the store, officers immediately stopped her outside. But what nobody expected was the chaos that instantly erupted afterward. >> Good side. STOP. DON'T RESIST. >> WHY ARE YOU DOING this to me? Stop. >> YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL if you don't stop. >> Take her down. >> No, I don't I don't I DON'T I DON'T >> TURN AROUND. >> I'LL STOP. >> 10-3 FOR A CENTRAL. PUT YOUR HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> [screaming] >> I LOST THE CUFF. I USED IT. OKAY. We got her detained. >> Can you loosen this up, please? >> Going to need a supervisor for 55. >> Relax, I'm going to loosen it. >> You're loosening it? >> Don't touch it. I'm going to loosen it. Are you ready to walk? Okay. Roll over. On your side. >> Don't touch >> Yep. >> All of this happened because the woman tried to run away. Shortly afterward, she was escorted into the patrol car and forced to listen to the consequences of her own actions. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just don't want to go to jail. I don't want to go to jail. >> Have a seat. >> I am very sorry. I am very sorry. My daughter, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I'm sorry. >> Tried to run again. >> And your trespass card, like we're only allowing them to last a year. You had them since '22. You're trespassed from here. But we're working under a year time frame, so your trespassing's going to start from today. You have a year. So, where did Where are your complaints of injury again? >> In my knee, it's a little bit >> Which knee? >> My right one. >> Right Right knee, what else? >> And then my left um forearm and elbow and my wrist and my side. >> Forearm, right knee, left forearm, left elbow, and left wrist, right? >> Yeah. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I just I just hit my hand when I kicked her legs out. You fell in. I was still on the handcuff, and so I went >> You could see that the woman only seemed remorseful because she got caught, not because she truly felt guilty for what she had done. That was exactly why the officers began giving her advice about the choices she was making. >> I'm going to tell you if you would have treated this a lot differently, like with some truthfulness and some cooperation, things would have went way different. I'm I'm pretty pretty sure cuz I you seem like a calm person. And I think you have a gift for gab. And if you just use that honestly and you'll go a lot farther than running and fighting. I don't know how you thought you were going to get away. There was two of us. You see how This is one of the fastest guys in our police department. Like literally, you were not going to get away from him. I Like I kind of pied out to kind of like chase you in one direction, but you were never going to get away from him. No way. He's like ran our obstacle course in like the fastest time, right? Yeah, he's the fastest guy in our police department. And that's in full uniform. We don't do it in running shoes and stuff. We do it in our full duty uniform. So. Think about that next time. And I hope there isn't a next time. You're not using drugs, right? You don't look like a drug user. So, why are you stealing? Is it somebody gave you some They would needed something for money or what? You needed what? So, you got it towed out of there? I'm sure if you would have posted on Facebook, I need some help towing a car, somebody would have helped you. >> The woman was ultimately charged with shoplifting, trespassing, and resisting. One bad decision can quickly spiral into a situation that destroys your freedom, reputation, and future far more than the original mistake ever would. Next, the mother ended up facing three separate criminal charges in a single afternoon. >> I promise I didn't >> Then it's not going to be a felony. >> Okay, well, my name is not What name is I can say my real name my real name. I just >> No, that's even worse. >> I because I didn't want >> On the 3rd of June, 2024, police received a report from a Target store about a woman attempting to leave with a full cart of merchandise without any intention of paying. Upon arriving at the scene, officers quickly realized the situation was far more complicated as a family member was also present with her. >> How are you doing? >> What's up? What's up? >> So, she's very concerned about her kid getting taken away right now, so she's kind of antsy and >> Okay, so what what happened anyway? >> The full cart right here is what everything she tried to walk out with. >> What was it? What was it? >> Everything. You got it? I got it. Yep. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, boy. >> Please start working on her behalf. >> You going to be a trainer or security? >> Literally just watching her load this all up. >> Loss prevention department grabbed this clothes and put it on top of it. >> What happened? >> Tried to walk right out. >> I was Well, my dad had passed and I was trying to get liquor for that funeral. I had the money. So, I was just trying to get some stuff. >> You could have >> [laughter] >> Can I ask for help? >> But that's stealing stuff. >> You can't be stealing stuff. >> All that liquor? >> It's a lot of liquor. >> For a funeral? Really? >> That was for the repast. >> Hey, Antonio, can you go up three? >> The woman admitted to her actions, along with a reason that was sympathetic but difficult to accept. However, when officers looked at the shopping cart, they formed a very different opinion. >> All right, Antonio, close it up. >> Cart is attached to the lawyer and >> That's all it is. That's all it >> All the carts >> That's all it is. Yes, this was all for allegedly. She was selling stuff from Mountain Coaster. The flashlight was there. Yeah, those look old. Yep, that's what I was going to ask you. Well, she don't know what the other guy took? >> The total value of the merchandise was confirmed to exceed $700, which was enough to elevate the case to a felony-level offense. So, the officers informed her of their decision. >> We're going to try to make this as nice as possible. I'm getting a car seat for the little one. Um we're going to go to the station. Um I'm going to charge you with retail theft because of the dollar amount I'm going to have to screen for you. If you can't check our safe return, you get a felony amount. More than likely because you have no criminal history there, they're not going to approve a felony, but I have to go through the process. So, I want to let you know how it works. >> Could he go with his dad? I don't want to take him to the police station. >> We If If he's out there and he has nothing to do with it, >> He don't. >> he has nothing in that car that that was stolen from here? >> He We never came This is my first time ever coming in. >> What was he wearing? >> He had on all black, a black shirt, black pants, and black Jordans, and a black hat. >> Okay. Um we're going to go out there and talk to you. If there's nothing in there that's that's not you know, that's not supposed to be there, then yeah, no problem. I have no problem at all having having to pick up the baby. Um but if he is, obviously, if he does have some items in there that belongs to Target, then that's a >> never This my first time walking in here. I never been here until just now. >> been to any other Targets today at all? >> No, I haven't been nowhere. Nothing. >> Okay. >> This is my first time being here. >> so so you know though, if we do find out that you were at other Targets, we are going to file against you as well. >> I have not This is my first time being in a Target. Uh I never even been here. This is my first time here. Cuz this isn't usually a one-time thing that happens. >> This is my first time ever did this. I never did nothing. >> you of what what could possibly happen. >> With the presence of a man outside, officers also updated her on the situation, which caused her to become visibly worried. >> Well, you're you're not going to jail, that's for sure. But you are coming with us, and you're going to get charged with retail theft. You know, like I said, we because of that because of the dollar because of the dollar amount of being over $500, I need to go on ahead and contact the state attorney. If you're telling the truth that there is no criminal history, you're more than likely going to say, "Okay, you're done." You know, just charge you with a misdemeanor class C misdemeanor retail theft. Are you going back home? >> Yeah. >> That's how it is. Now, for whatever reason, you're you're the baby's daddy right now is is under arrest. I don't know what he did out there, but then it's not going to be a felony. >> Okay, well, my name is not What name is I can't I'll give you my real name. I just >> Well, that's even worse. >> Uh because I didn't want to get go to jail for years or so. >> Well, you know, if I run you if regardless with with having your fingerprints, I would know exactly who you are. >> Additionally, although the woman claimed that her circumstances left her unable to afford alcohol for her father's funeral, officers discovered several details that contradicted her statement. >> What do you have under your driver's side seat? >> Uh my uh my my gun. No, I have it registered. It's uh I got my FOID card and stuff in the car. I have my ID. >> What's the matter? What's the concealed carry? >> I have that. >> You have the concealed carry too? >> I have my everything. Yes. >> You guys want to find out there? >> I have all that. That's all that's mine. It's in my name. I have my card. I have my I have everything. >> Okay. May I ask you to check it out? >> Can you tell them to get my wallet out of the car? My wallet is in there with all my stuff in there. This right here, this mine. This in my name. It's paid for. It's I have all that. It's registered. >> All right, that that Ruger that Victor 2 ran supposed to be on belongs to the question of the custody here. You check the seat you should have a valid FOID and concealed carry permit. >> It's in my wallet. >> he just wanted to buy it, but he was saying that >> And I have the receipt from Eagle's Sporting Goods. That's where I paid for the It's up and I have receipt for the bullets. I have receipt for everything. >> Okay. >> That's why I don't have no criminal background cuz they let me get that. >> Oh, that makes sense. >> Yeah, you see. >> So >> No, he's he's going to choose them. Yeah, I'm actually older. >> She clearly had the means to purchase a firearm, yet she claimed to be in financial hardship. However, that firearm may also have been obtained improperly as discrepancies in the system records led officers to issue a warning to her. >> It says you have no concealed carry. >> I have the receipts. >> I'm not worried about a receipt. >> my ID. I have >> to have the You know, like a driver's license? It's like that. It's just concealed carry. >> And my name is on there. >> say FOID. It doesn't have Does it say um concealed carry? >> It say FOID. I have one with FOID and I have a second one concealed to carry. They got I have two. >> Okay. >> [clears throat] >> But it's Do you see where I'm coming from? It going to make any sense because usually when we run someone's name, it's going to say yes driver's license, yes void card, yes concealed carry. No for driver's license. Your driver's license is no good. Yes for Well, you you've been arrested before [crying] for that, right? Just for suspended driver's license. >> No, I had I never been arrested for I never got license in my name. >> Have you been stopped before driving? >> Yeah, I have. I got stopped one time. >> So, you do have a driver's license just no good >> [crying] >> because you've been stopped for it.
