Spell your last name. Thank you. What's your birthday? >> [snorts] [snorts] >> At just before noon on a Thursday in [music] October, a call comes in to the Boonton Police Department in New Jersey. A woman is walking out of the local Walmart with a shopping cart, and a store employee says every item in it is stolen. By the time officers arrive, she's already trying to slip away toward [music] a pizzeria next door. >> Boonton Police, we're just uh investigating a theft from Walmart. >> All right. So, at this time, you're just detained until we figure out what's going on, okay? You match the description. They said a female with gray sweatpants and gray sweatshirt. Okay? So, the other officer's speaking with them. Do you know what I'm talking about? What happened? What may have happened? >> What they don't know yet is that this isn't her first time, and it won't be the quiet arrest she's hoping for. The date is October 23rd, 2025, and the store is the Walmart on Wootton Street. Dispatch describes a female shoplifter in gray pants and a gray shirt, last seen heading toward the Delizia Pizzeria. >> Are we going to speak? Okay. Do you have your ID on you? You have no ID? What's your name? You have to give your information. What's your name? Okay, put your hands behind your back, then you'll be you'll be placed under arrest for obstruction. What is your name?

We're going to drop the attitude right now, okay? Were you in the Walmart? >> I have a warrant. >> You in the Walmart? Were you in the Walmart? >> What? >> Were you in the Walmart? >> Yeah, I was. >> Patrolman George Westenberger spots a woman matching that description almost immediately. He detains her while other officers head inside to piece together exactly what happened. Patrolman Slaughter and Detective Denker meet with the store's loss prevention team. And what loss prevention tells them turns a routine call into a clear-cut case. >> What's your other name? >> Diamond. >> Diamond? What's the last name for Diamond? >> Holmes. >> Can you spell it? >> H O L M >> Would that have the same date of birth, I would assume? But that one's not on any sort of >> Jail in the total? >> I think they said he witnessed it. >> Officer, I thought they said off duty officer. >> No, I think he >> Did they find anything? >> No idea. >> Do you have an ID? >> According to loss prevention, this wasn't a couple of items slipped into a bag. [music] She had an entire shopping cart filled with merchandise, and she pushed that cart straight past every register, past all points of purchase [music] without paying for a single thing. The total came to $450.51. [music] >> Have you ever had an ID? Huh? We'll find something. That's fine if you tell us your right name. >> I gave you both of my right names. >> Yeah. >> Going to 415 Boulevard on Yankee 800 Yankee Road. >> She didn't want to give ID or anything like that, so I'm assuming it's something felonious. >> Yeah, well, she said she used to have an ID, so >> Right. >> So, we're going to try to find something. >> Can she head over to J or not? Send her over to J so I can get a better description and with the photo array. >> Where do you live? >> Wayne. >> Wayne? Are you bleeding up there or you got a little dried blood on your ear? It's pretty dry. Waiting for a ride? >> What? >> Waiting for a ride? >> I'm waiting for Uber here. >> Uber? You waiting for an Uber right now? Oh. Did you take anything from Walmart? >> In New Jersey, that dollar figure matters because it helps determine exactly how the theft is charged. This wasn't a forgotten item at the bottom of a cart. This was a full cart, walked toward the door, and then came the moment that removed almost any doubt. Speaking to another officer, Candy admitted it outright. She had tried to steal from Walmart. >> Yeah. Do you have it on you? You left it at the door? >> I knew you were going to arrest me, so I wanted you to just arrest me and take me to the county. >> Well, we try not to take people to the county. I don't know how they do it over in Wayne. Have you been arrested before? Yeah, a lot or Same thing, shoplifting? So, it goes by your score, you know? Have you Do you know that or no? >> It was something else. >> What's that? So, we're going to be We're going to do our best not to take you to the county. That was some township guy. >> The guy with the signal? >> Yeah, I think so. >> That was the same witness? >> No, the witness The witnesses were Jay, I think. She admitted to shoplifting. >> Mhm. >> Just watching the cameras. And what they walked away with. Cuz they were here yesterday and I saw them >> You know about your sign? >> In our mass. >> All right. So, did you go over the shoplifting? >> Couple of bunch 96 entries in our mass. >> All right. >> What is that? >> Miranda Miranda is a picture at 450. >> Right. They were were wrestling. >> I would assume. >> I don't know. I don't know what it >> I'm assuming they don't want to >> With the investigation complete, officers told her she was being placed under arrest. She was handcuffed, walked to the patrol car, and driven to the Boonton Police Department for processing. For this incident, she was charged with shoplifting under New Jersey law. From there, the case moved through the system. >> I'm doing a free place in front of your back. >> We'll place on arrest on >> I'm sorry? >> This is on a place on arrest for shoplifting. >> Walk on the side of my car. You have anything on you in any pockets here? Do you have no pockets? Just the charger there. Do you mind if I grab that out real quick? Okay, you can sit there. It's a little tight, but like I said, it's a short ride. >> You too serious today. >> Watch. Here, I'll help you get in. All right, at this time you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. All right, so you understand the rights I just read to you? Yeah. Watch your knee. Watch your knee. Yeah, playing the name game. Didn't you want to give ideas? All right, well, place your hands behind your back. Oh, so this >> [sighs] [snorts] >> 91529832, can you stop? >> Oh, good. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> [snorts] >> 211 at the senior high school. >> I'll be transporting 1011 miles to 0672. >> [snorts] [groaning] [snorts] >> The complaint was reviewed by an assistant prosecutor and a municipal court judge. Once the warrant was approved, Candy was transported to the Morris County Correctional Facility to await her appearance before a judge. Court records show the case was ultimately resolved in Superior Court on December 1st, 2025. And here's the part that makes this more than a single bad decision. >> Huh? >> Keep calling her. >> Oh, okay. >> We'll get them off as soon as you get inside. Whatever you want. >> This wasn't Candy's first arrest of its kind. Earlier incidents were captured on camera, too, which raises the real question. When someone keeps ending up in the back of a patrol car for the very same thing, is it desperation? Is it habit? Or is it something the system just hasn't found an answer for? Let us know what you think in the comments and subscribe to She Body Cam for more. Back outside, Patrolman Westenberger asks the woman for identification. She says she doesn't have any. Then she refuses to identify herself at all. It's a small act of resistance that rarely helps and it doesn't help here. Eventually, she gives them a name. She's 23 years old from Wayne, New Jersey and her name is [music] Candy House. But before officers even arrived, the scene had already gotten [music] stranger. When loss prevention tried to stop her inside, an unidentified man suddenly grabbed the shopping cart away from her. Who he was and why he did [music] it has never been established. With the cart gone, Candy made [music] a decision that only made things worse. She tried to run on foot toward Wooten Street. Patrolman Westenberger caught up with her and detained her before she got far.
