You know, it's all making sense. So, what I think is happening is gift cards are being bought with the counterfeit money. >> Uh-huh. >> And then that's what I think. >> I didn't purchase them with any counterfeit. So, if you go to Walgreens, they'll tell you that. I didn't use any counterfeit. I literally I didn't use any counterfeit. >> of counterfeit bills. >> Yes, and when I was working at the club, that's what they gave me. >> You know that's illegal, right? >> I didn't I All I was just doing was trying to make my rent money, sir. >> Okay. >> That was it.

So, before I go back to Walgreens and I have a conversation with the manager and I look at the video, and I want you to be honest with me cuz I'm willing to help you out, right? You got a baby. I don't want to see you go to jail unless you have to. But I need you to be honest with me. Okay? What is he going to tell me? >> That I purchased I didn't use any counterfeit. >> Which card? >> On on my phone. I used my phone. >> Okay. On your phone, what is it? An app?

I was just robbed. >> You've been arrested for fraud before, right? >> No, a long time ago. >> Tell me about what happened. What did they say you did? >> I was messing with a guy and >> Okay. >> Honestly. >> What was his name? >> Mike. >> Mike? >> But come to find out that wasn't his real name either. >> Oh, it wasn't his real name. You were just dating him and you didn't know his name. Okay. What happened? My space or whatever social media was going on at the >> Okay. And what >> And you know it we just had started. It wasn't nothing too serious yet. >> Okay. Less about the personal stuff, more about more about what you did. >> Um >> What did they what did they say you did? Was it more marijuana? >> Yeah. Basically He told me he had some money for me or whatever. He told me just all I had to do was go score and cash it. I was like, "Okay." >> Okay. Were they $100 bills? >> No, it was a money order. >> They were money orders. >> Yeah. It was a money order. He said, "Okay, all I have to do is cash it." Right. And then after that I just know I was waiting for a long time long time. I'm like, "Okay, I don't know what's going on." So >> Right. >> As long as I came out I just seen and these guys came like, "What's going on?" I'm like, They said that you had some fake money orders. I said, "Fake money orders? What the hell?" >> Okay. >> And the guy was literally in the car watching the whole time. >> Did he get arrested? >> No. >> So you you took the fall for the for the money orders. >> Yes. >> Okay. But in this case you're saying that the the counterfeit money >> Yes, I got it. That's stuff from a customer. >> What's in there? >> Uh there shouldn't be nothing in there. >> Where's the key fob? >> Where is your keychain? >> There's obviously something in there. Where's the key at? >> The key is in the car I think. >> Is it on your keychain? >> Definitely. >> Look, we're trying to speed this up cuz it's hot out. Either that or we break it or we got to we're going to get inside. So you let you let us know. >> Yeah, let me get your keychain. >> You let us you let us know. >> Just back up a little. >> That's so old. >> My baby is supposed to be with me. >> Oh, it's on Oh, can you fix them up, please? That's my baby's stuff. >> I'm not putting in the ground. I'm putting in the bag. >> No, that one is on the ground. >> The one on the top is on the ground. Here, Yavis. What was the total amount you spent inside Walgreens? >> Um Oh, uh Oh. Seven. >> Seven what? >> Like $700. >> You spent $700 right now? >> Yeah. >> On what? >> The gift >> Was it the gift cards? >> Yeah, I got one gift card and I got all my um >> Okay, so your total bill Did you do multiple purchases or just one? >> Uh oh, he told me to do it separate. >> So, how many individual purchases did you make? >> Oh, I just did two. >> You did two? >> Yeah. >> And so two purchases and the total the grand total for both purchases was how much? >> About $700. >> About $700. And so you live in Miami Gardens. >> Yes. >> You drive all the way to Weston. >> Right. >> You don't live here. You have no family that lives here. >> Like I told you, I was on the >> Like I told you, the story just doesn't make sense. Cuz you're saying your baby is somewhere in Sunrise. So, why wouldn't you just go to the Walgreens in Sunrise? >> To be honest with you, I was already angry. I was on the phone talking. That's probably why I didn't notice the stop sign. So, I'm on the phone talking, venting, and I went to go get the two original panting, but then I ended up changing my mind. So, >> Right. So, look. >> I kept driving. >> I I It still doesn't make sense, but if that's your story you're sticking to it, that's fine. Listen, I don't want you to get in trouble for what someone else may have you doing. So, I'm a fraud guy. And I don't know if that's clicking in your head what that means. But all of these money orders and cards and gift cards, we're going to write the penis for. We're going to backtrack them. I'm going to see who the victims are. And we'll get my answers. This is not legal what you're doing, okay? I don't want you to get in trouble for what someone else is having you do. Think about your kid right now, nobody else. You and your kid. You want to hit the take the fall for someone else? That's your choice. But I suggest cuz we're going to talk in a little bit more when we get to the station. I suggest you think about yourself and your kid only. All right? I'm just giving you some good advice. >> Come out, please. Um call my mother-in-law. >> We're going to get to that. We're going to get to that. All right, but right now you're an adult. >> No, it's it's cuz of the baby. >> Okay. Yes. >> Speaking of that, I have >> Yes, we're we're going to get to that. But you understand why you're in the position you are right now, right? But you get one bite of the apple here with me. So, if there's something you need to tell us to help yourself out, you should probably do so. All right, this looks like a big fraudulent scam. For someone to drive from Miami Gardens to Walgreens in Weston and to spend $700 on their Apple card just doesn't make sense. Okay? I'm not here to beat you up. All right, but I don't want you to get in trouble for what someone else is having you do. Fair enough? >> Careful. >> All right. Then we'll wrap this up. >> The officer charged her with petty theft, possession of forged bills, and three other charges related to the illegal substances found in the car. She had a total of $600 in counterfeit US currency. She also had $2,440 in legal currency that was later seized due to the narcotics investigation. After more than 2 years, this case is still pending with the next hearing scheduled in August. We'll update the description if anything happens. Thanks for watching. See you on the next ride along.
