You okay? >> Yeah. >> On August 6th, 2024, officers with the Orlando Police Department responded to a shoplifting call from a Walmart claiming a woman was filling up a backpack she had grabbed off a shelf with Walmart merchandise. The loss prevention notified the officer when the woman walked past the final point of sale, and the officer moved in. >> I'm going to walk over here, okay? I'm going to have you sit on the bench, okay? >> Mhm. >> Actually, no. Just face the wall for me. Face the wall. Separate your feet. No, no. Just separate your feet. Spread Okay. Just stand up for me. >> This is an important legal moment because the officer has now explained the woman's basic constitutional rights before questioning her about the incident. She is told she can remain silent, that her statements can be used in court, and that she has the right to an attorney. The officer also confirms that nobody threatened or promised her anything to make her talk. That matters because investigators are preparing to ask questions directly connected to the alleged crimes. At this point, she has a choice. Cooperate and explain her side or exercise her right to remain silent. What would you do? >> I'm going to put this on the bench, okay? >> Okay. >> You have anything in your pockets that's going to poke me, stick me? >> No. >> Oscar 20 echo delta. Can you break me and Shurman 56 Sierra same location? All right, you can have a seat. >> I'll sit over there. >> Front 18 lead, can I get a front 18 lead to 100, please? I need a female female, please. >> What's your first name? >> Olivia. >> Last name? >> Connolly. >> How? >> Connolly. >> Connolly? >> Connolly. Connolly. >> G I. >> Okay. What's your birthday? Have you ever been issued a Florida DL? Driver's license? >> Yes. >> Yeah, okay. What's a good phone number for you? >> Um There isn't one. >> You don't have one? >> No. >> Okay. Anyone else that can like call you or we can call them for your paperwork? Do you live with anybody? >> Everything in here is ours in the bag. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> What do you mean? Can you give me Can you give me somebody else's phone number they can reach you? You don't have anybody? No. Okay. All right, this ain't tough for me, okay? I'm going to grab my computer. >> I need another female here. Can't be alone. >> Uh I swear I was saying I wait. >> So, we'll be able to step out of the building. >> Okay. Yeah, no worries. >> I need a female team lead to the 100 office, please. >> Yeah, I was going to say you can grab any female. >> I was going to say right now anybody. >> Okay, I need another person in here, please. >> Hey, we're rushing her right now. >> Thank you. >> Now the investigation takes a major turn. After being advised of her rights, she agrees to continue answering questions and the officer immediately focuses on an item found in the backpack. Her response is that the item was already there and wasn't hers. But the officer isn't treating that explanation as the end of the conversation. He tells her the substance will be tested because the contents themselves could potentially create an additional criminal charge. Suddenly, this isn't just about merchandise anymore. The evidence in that bag could determine just how serious this case becomes. >> You okay? >> Yeah. >> Um do you know what items it was? >> She's She's told me about that. It was a bag, uh shampoo, toothpaste, a whole bunch of accessories, some clothes. >> Okay. >> Let me Just read her her rights real quick. >> and whatever. I I was watching you the whole time. You're pretty actually pretty good. >> I'm going to >> Pretty quick. I was watching you. I was on you. >> I'm going to read you something, okay? Um you have the right to remain silent, do you understand? >> Yes. >> Uh, anything you say may be used against you in court, do you understand? >> Mhm. >> You have the right to talk >> Uh, we'll talk about it, but I have to ask you these questions first, okay? >> Mhm. >> Um, you have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questioning, do you understand? >> Mhm. >> Um, if you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, one will be provided for you before questioning without charge, do you understand? >> I understand. >> Uh, has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to me? >> No. >> No. Do you want to talk about why you're in handcuffs? It's your choice. You can decide not to talk or say anything, or you can talk. >> Should I talk with you? >> Okay. That's pretty much what I was going to ask you, so you're good. Just hang tight for me, okay? >> And here is where the confrontation over the value of the merchandise begins. The officer tells her the alleged theft involved approximately $178 worth of Walmart merchandise. While she disputes that amount and argues that the items were worth much less. But the officer says he personally followed her and has the incident documented on video. That creates a classic evidence question, whose version matches the objective evidence. The value of the merchandise can matter because theft charges can depend on the amount involved. So, while the argument may sound like a disagreement over a price tag, legally, the total value can become a very important detail. >> Um, do you still wish to talk if I ask you questions about this? Can I ask you questions? >> I don't know. I guess you can. >> Can you tell me what this is? >> That was already in the bag. That's not mine. >> It's not yours? So, you don't know what it is? When we test it, it's not going to be crack, Molly, or anything like that? There's not Molly Okay. Okay. Nope. For shoplifting and then possession of whatever that ends up testing for. >> What are you talking about? $170? >> $178 worth of merchandise that you tried to steal. >> That is a lie cuz literally it's pens, notebook, an outfit, that's All the accessories Yeah. >> The accessories are $15 a piece, $18. The bag is $20. >> That stuff adds up. >> We don't have any of that. I got it [laughter] all on video. I followed you around. I followed you around. >> Check on my mom, man. >> Yeah, give me a second. I'll scratch you a 20. Can you also run a criminal history check for prior petty theft convictions? >> And now comes the result that changes the entire case. According to the narration, the substance recovered from the woman's possession tested positive for Molly. That means investigators now had more than an allegation of shoplifting. They had a reported positive drug test that led to additional charges. The officer had already warned her that the substance would be tested, so this wasn't just speculation anymore. The footage shows how quickly one investigation can expand when officers discover additional evidence. What began with merchandise allegedly being placed into a backpack has now developed into a case involving theft and alleged controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. >> I'll write the statement while you do all the stuff you got to do. >> Yeah, I'm going to actually get the test kit so I can test it. >> All right. I'm not going to include that in my statement. I'm going to I'm going to include >> Yeah, I know that's fine cuz I have to That's fine. I will be right back. >> Yeah, the door's open so just just push it. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it should be the last one. >> Okay. Thank you. I'll be back. >> And that's where this incident comes to an end. According to the provided footage, the woman was transported to the Orange County Jail and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and theft of $100 or more. The key takeaway is how the investigation developed step-by-step. Officers responded to a reported shoplifting incident, documented the merchandise, advised her of her rights, questioned her after she agreed to speak, and then tested the suspected substance. Importantly, the footage describes allegations and charges. The final determination of guilt belongs to the court.
