If you told me you were detained, I would have stayed and we would have just switched places. But you didn't tell me you were detained or arrested. So, I didn't do anything about that because you told me you weren't detained or arrested. If you told me you were detained or arrested, it would have made more sense.

So, walk me from the beginning. from when they picked you up all the way until now to how we get here. >> They picked me up and >> when they picked you up. Okay. So, was this planned before they picked you up or they just said, "Hey, I'm outside." >> I mean, I knew they were coming to get me, but >> you didn't know what for? >> I knew that it had something to do with um going to the bank, but they just I don't know. I don't know. >> So, you knew they were picking you up and you knew you guys were going to the bank? I didn't know that I was going to be calling in trying to cash a check. >> Okay. But you knew they were picking you up and you knew you guys were coming to a bank. What else did they tell you before you got in the car? >> That's pretty much it. >> That they were picking you up so you can go to a bank and help out with your rent. >> Yeah. >> All right. And when did they make you put the uniform on? >> We were I live in Apaka. We were almost to the I4 to get off I4 in um Ultima um when they started talking about scrubs, going to the store and getting my scrubs, asking me what size I was. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Like I didn't >> know anything about that. And they were like um um that it just looks more official. And I'm like, "What? Like >> what are you talking about?" I was kind of just going with whatever they were telling me that they were doing. >> Okay. Um because I'm desperate. I need bikini under my kids head. >> All right. >> Um but yeah, we went we got the scrubs. Um he paid for them. We then drove. >> Maris paid for them. >> No, whoever's whoever's driving. >> So who was Maris not driving? >> Maris is in the passenger seat. >> Maris is in the passenger seat. Who's driving the car? >> I don't know him. I've never seen him in my life. It's Maris's friend. >> Okay. >> I don't know him. >> I've never seen him. I don't know him. But um >> yeah. >> Okay. So Maris was a passenger and Maris friend was driving. >> Mhm. >> All right. And then what else happened when they get Okay. So they said, "We're going to buy the shrugs. It looks more official. Put them on." >> Yeah. >> And you put them on. >> I mean, they didn't put them on right away, but Yeah. When we got to the bank, >> when you got here to the bank, >> well, he pulled up like across the street and like a a plaza right there with like Caesars >> by the Fair. >> He pulled by >> pulled up by the Fairwinds the land plaza. Okay. >> And then um wrote the check and basically told me, "Put those on. This is what you're doing." And that's not at all what I left my like >> Okay. So, he pulled in to Dan Plaza and that's when he told you to change to the uniform cuz it looks more official. And he handwrit. >> Okay. And he handwritten the [ __ ] >> The one driving. >> The one driving handwritten. >> Okay. How long am I going to have to stay there? Will I be able to get bonded out today or do I got to wait for Court to be bonded out? >> You can get bonded out today, but I don't think he's a true friend cuz if he told you to come out and do this and he said he's going to take the rap for it, I would have been back ASAP. Especially with you having two kids. >> Yeah. I don't know. All right. So, >> but I'm I'm so sorry. I'm just joining this. I'm halfway. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I'm half I'm joining in this halfway through. Okay. >> So, >> from what I understand, >> this check is fake. >> You knew this check was >> You didn't know anybody? >> No, >> I just knew that this is someone trying to help me get my rent paid. So, I'm not addicted with my children. And I'm at the point where I'll do almost anything to make sure that my kids don't feel that everything that I'm going through to keep the stuff going. >> So, when he told you to get dressed in the shrubs and he writed, >> what did he say to you when he wrote the check and gave it to you? >> He just said to go in and tell them this. This is what he wrote. This is what it What did he tell you to tell them? >> That I'm a living assistant. That I take care of someone's mom or something. And that >> which is not true, obviously. >> No. >> Can I take the scrubs off? >> I have on my clothes and this is so uncomfortable. >> You if you got clothes under, you can. >> I'm not going to say take off. >> We'll figure that out. Um, not right now. Leave it on. Okay. >> Yeah. Not right now. All right. So, he told you to come in here and act like he was taking care of somebody uh taking care of a li. Okay. And at that point, did you know the check was fake when he gave it to you before he walked into his bank? >> I figure I didn't ask any questions. >> What last name did he put on there? >> Davis. >> Oh, okay. His handwriting just is terrible. I was trying to figure that out. So, he wrote it for $3,390. And then obviously did he have the scrubs or did you? >> He got me. I was in my clothes. He picked me up and I'm just riding with them thinking >> I don't know. I'm just going with the flow. And then he said he got to stop and get scrubs. And I was like what did he stop and get me scrubs for? >> Right. >> And that was when he I mean he didn't even fully explain it. He was on the he was had like two phones on the phone with different people. Like I was just sitting in the back just writing like whatever y'all tell me I need to do >> so I can pay my rent. >> How do you know these people? >> I know Maris for a couple months but the guy driving is Maris's friend. I don't know him. >> It's my first time seeing him today. >> I got you a burnt orange SUV. >> Yeah. >> What about this white Mercedes? >> I don't know anything about >> Okay. But he did say to you on the phone that was the crackhead. I'm still waiting. >> Well, because my grandma's talking to my grandma. >> No, this is important. >> You're looking at felony charges right now. I'll be honest with you. Okay. >> It's called uttering a fourth document. Okay. So, this is probably more important than what grandma's got to say. >> I mean, I was just asked to pick up my kids from school, so that's why she >> Okay, tell her to pick up your kids. Tell her probably >> she would I told her I was I was getting arrested. So, I mean, if >> Okay, then answer only because it has to do with your kids. >> Yeah, I was going to say. >> Hello. I got kids. So, >> you check this >> $2,400 >> and then there's another check that was cash. >> What TV did he cash this one? >> I'm talking to the cops right now. >> So, he cashed >> a couple cash like two before this >> at different or somewhere else? other like >> I believe the other two were in Orlando. >> Okay. >> And that one has his name on it. This one has her name on it. >> Act like >> Are they the same same check numbers and all that? >> This is University Boulevard >> 1331. >> Obviously you know that Orlando PD that has to go through them because that's their jurisdiction and all that. So um >> well I'm just more or less giving this to you as far as information just to let you know that there was three checks that were >> Absolutely. Yeah. But for the for like reporting purposes and we can give you a case number and we can even fax this over there as far as like a a case linkage. >> Um because obviously this is the same people. So it's going to be a case linkage. It might even be a statewide prosecutor because it's multi uh through multi jurisdictions multiple >> if the two are connected. >> No, that has nothing. >> This is from the white Mercedes. >> Yeah. >> Let me just be perfectly clear with you right now. There is no way that I believe that these two incidences are not linked. >> They're not. I I mean I promise on everything >> you said he was on the phone talking to people, right? >> Not to so >> he had multiple phones. He's talking to people. Two people don't walk into a bank at the same time. I mean I just >> No, it has ironic both check. They walk in and they just leave you sitting here. >> I get that. But that whoever that was I never see I >> You didn't have to see him. >> I know. But he wasn't. It might not be something you're knowledgeable, >> right? You may not know. These guys may know, but you probably don't >> because they just left you sitting. >> I mean, right away as soon as you said that, they're dealing with somebody else. And he said to you, "Oh, they're dealing with that crackhead." >> Never. >> Yeah. >> He said that. >> So, he knew. How How would he supposed to know what what we're doing? >> And they both And they both left at the same time. One cop showed up. Everybody leave. You're still sitting here. They went to a TD with me in the car right before we came to this one and he was walking out of that guy that walked out of that one here. >> And you think these things are completely >> this person? >> I'm just No, I'm just asking you to think logically. I'm not saying that you know, right? I'm not saying that you have some master plan in this. I'm just asking you to speak logic. Think logically, right? Two different people. >> This might be the core. >> Okay. two different people commit committing similar frauds over multiple jurisdictions just so happen to be leaving at the same time >> and you think that's an accident. >> I get how it looks but I like I said I have no knowledge of anything. Only thing I'm asking you for is if you have any names of these people, which I know you already or Maris >> Maris Brown, that's the one driving. >> The only person I know >> and he's supposedly coming back here >> cuz he said >> I got closer to the family dollar. >> He's not driving the car. I don't know who the guy is driving the car. >> I knew he was going to say that. That's exactly what he said. >> You knew he was going to say walk over to the family dollar and that that's what happened. >> They've been texting. No. Um, did he say he's coming back when I walked out? >> Did he say >> he was going to come back? That he was trying to figure out a way back. >> Cuz he said he had to he had to >> I guess he was trying I all I can imagine is that he's not trying to have whoever's driving the burnt orange SUV, the one that's his friend, come back. He's trying to get out of that car and find a way here so that whoever that is, I like I said, I don't know his name. >> I got you. Well, let me ask you this. Would you be one to write a swarm written statement about what happened about this is this guy that you met two months ago that he picked you up today that he took you to the scrub shop that he took you to these banks that he told you to put the scrubs on told you you know everything that you're telling us would you be willing to put it in writing on paper >> I'm still in trouble >> well yes I I don't have the ability to make felonies go away okay but what I can tell you is >> is that this will help you in court it cooperating suspects. >> That's what I've been trying to do the whole time. >> I No, and I appreciate that. So, that's all I'm asking if you'll put it in writing. That's all I'm asking. I'm not making you any promises that it'll lessen You're not You're not lessening any trouble you're in today. >> Okay. It's just for the future, right, for when this goes to trial. Do you look like a >> accomplice to a master scheme or do you look like a girl who's trying to pay her bills so her kids don't be homeless? You know what I'm saying? That's what do you want to look like? What picture do you want painted of you for the jury? >> The truth. >> The truth, right? So, will you write the truth for us and swear to it? >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Let me go get a save for >> All right. >> All right. Well, once I pull a case number, um, let me go ahead and pull that right now. >> So, I would be able to possibly bomb out today. What would bomb even be looking like? You're looking at I don't know off top of my head. Don't quote me. Probably looking at a thirdderee felony which is 2500. >> Hey, let's get you have a statement form handy. >> Yeah. >> I doubt this guy's coming back. >> I got it. >> Not a chance. She is willing to fill out a sworn written statement everything she told us. >> Okay, perfect. >> About her coming in here knowing that >> I didn't want to show her that just yet because I didn't want her to just look at it and go, "Yeah, that's it." If it wasn't it, I'm trying to wait for um he's trying he's waiting for the uh the tag info. Um, so once I get that, >> did she say what the dude's name was? >> Maris Brown. Maris Brown.

If I was going to send a letter to someone at an address, as long as all the information is correct, meaning the address is a real address, it they typically don't really care whose name it is. They're going to deliver it. Because a great example is I just moved recently and um uh if I had to I I had to forward my mail obviously through the post office. You rent, right? You rent an apartment and have you ever rented a house or anything like that or have you ever gotten mail from that's not your name at your apartment? Same. Yeah.

All right. >> Okay. >> And you're being cool with us. So, >> yeah, you have. I don't do this to those people. >> I'm just trying to be us. I'm I'm not lying about anything.
