Before officers were able to make contact, the woman fled the scene and was located moments later in a nearby parking lot. >> What do you mean why now? You ran away and can't we can't just figure this out. >> Well, hopefully I can't get into this car. Keys are in it. >> Keys are in it. Is the dog in it? >> Huh? He's sleeping though. >> Okay. I can't even run around like crazy. >> And someone swiped my f at the dealership while it was getting an oil change. Well, that's a problem. >> They gave it back to you though, right? >> Who cares? Everything I own and love is in that car, including a firebag. >> Okay. >> You're going to steal her from her parents who live in the Chicago area? Well, I guess I better get on a flight and go straight back to Arkansas. So, it creates confusion. They're like, "Oh, don't worry about it. We're trying to get him to come back. I'm like, it's a guy. I'm like, my soccer from Arkansas did actually follow me all around. >> So, I went back over to McGrath and I talked with them. You sure there wasn't anything that happened inside the inside the dealership that >> I was waiting to pay the cashier. >> Did at any point did you What's the dog's name? >> Orion. >> Orion. At any point, did you pick Orion up by the leash and hang Orion by the the leash by his his neck? >> Well, potentially, but he's got a martingale collar, so that's flipped off and over. >> So, if I pick him up and hold him, it's because it's into one of these cuz he's still a puppy, so he's got extra skin. >> So, if I do need to get up and run, >> you know, which I've been doing for years. >> Showroom wise, >> the there's I saw some video.

So, I'm going to let you finish that and then I'm going to explain What's going to happen here? >> Well, he's hungry, too. >> What's that? He can eat his sandwich and that's fine. >> So, someone stole it and I still have to pay the [ __ ] price for it. Are you kidding me? This is why I don't come to St. Charles. I'm a private property. Call the bank owner. >> Okay. Eat your sandwich. >> Okay. Eat your sandwich. >> The answer is no. You may not. >> Finish your food. Yes.

Just hold on. >> Throw all of it in the gloves in the bag and go home and take care of my dogs. Okay. It's probably going to take me probably a half hourish to to to care take care of everything, but >> I can give you I have your cell number. I can give you a call if you want to do that. >> I know. Look at me when I speak you. You have until tomorrow morning as the sun comes up. You're you're going to be released here in like I said about a half hour, 45 minutes and he can come pick you up and you guys can figure that out. But I'm we're going to get into the car and then obviously like I said I'm going to take custody of the dog. >> Michael, don't forget my gloves. Okay. >> Don't forget all the food. We go and take care of the puppies. Okay. Anyway, which one? >> This one right here. >> The blue ride is nowhere. Great. Wanted an oil change. He was right. Don't go there. Understood.

Are we arresting someone else today? >> Well, I'm trying to put their seat belt on. That's why. >> Oh. If I if I if you crash, I'm going straight to death. Anyway, let me just loosen this up a little bit for you. The the dog is going to go to DuPage Animal Control and they're going to take protective custody of it. And obviously, if you want to you can call them and see if you can get me a dog for yourself, but that'll be up to them on on how they want to handle it. Obviously, depending on the condition of the dog, you know, if there's no obvious injuries or anything like that, if there is injuries to him, like then we're going to take them straight to the emergency vet and we'll figure that out. But, you know, we got to figure it all out. I will give you a call here whenever she's ready. Like I said, it's probably be 45 minutes. I got to do just complaints and fingerprint and then she'll be released. So, but obviously the dog is the other issue that we got to deal with. So, get Uh just did >> are they able to get in the car? >> We can get in the car if somebody with the the kit comes out. If you somebody grabs a like the lockout kit. >> Okay. >> Um otherwise we'll we'll have to That's the county boundary. Damn, that's a huge access point. Just truck everybody right up here. Well, at least I got to eat. >> Thanks. >> That's what I was trying to finish because >> I don't abuse him. I abuse myself. That's why. No one believes me anyway. So, why start telling the truth now? Wouldn't make a difference. Oh, homeless Dave. Dave would have been proud of me. I would have shared that meal with them for sure. But we all know homeless Dave.
