Today, we got a video from Police Release, and the title of the video is Airport Thief returns to steal again, fails miserably. >> On August 12th, 2023, airport officers were dispatched in response to a report of a woman who opened a tab for drinks and left without paying. >> My boss told me to watch her cuz she she was at the bar yesterday and she didn't pay her tab. She walked out. She got two lemon drops, uh 20 bucks each, and a double shot of honey. She didn't drink the honey and uh she she started to walk. I followed her and said, "Hey, can you please come back and pay your bill?" She was like, "Oh, there's a flight number. You have to come back and >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. A lemon drop is $20? See, I don't drink when I go to the airport, but what? I'm still trying to process that. What she say? $20 [snorts] each, did she say? >> My boss told me to watch her cuz she she was at the bar yesterday and she didn't pay her tab. She walked out. She got two lemon drops, uh 20 bucks each, and a double shot of honey. She didn't drink the honey and uh she she started to walk. I followed her and said, "Hey, can you please come back and pay your bill?" She was like, "Oh, there's a flight number. You have to come back and pay your bill." >> Did this happen yesterday or right now? >> Right now. I I don't even have a phone. I used the TSA's phone. I have to go back to work, but she didn't pay her bill at City Bar. It's a $57 bill. >> Who's going to come? Like I can have somebody identify her or write a statement that says they want her to be charged. >> do it, but I got to go. I'm not going to press charges, but I have I have to tell you because that's what we do as a bartender. We go chase the people that don't pay their bills. >> Right, but you guys are a victim if she didn't pay. >> Well, can you come back to talk to me about it cuz I have to go back to work? >> Uh is there a manager who can come out here cuz I can't. I'm not going to come back there if I'm not with her here. So, is there a manager or somebody who wants to come out? I mean, it must not be that important if nobody wants to come. >> Okay, I can I'm here. So, what do you need from me? >> Okay, are you are you the manager? >> No, I'm the bartender. He doesn't even know I left. The customers will tell him that I had chased her cuz they saw her. >> Okay, well, go back and get with him and find out if you guys want to >> have a number which I can call you I can call you cuz I don't have my phone with me. It's at the bar. >> Okay. Well, hang on. >> She was here yesterday. Her ID's from Philadelphia. I think she's I'm assuming maybe she's homeless. I don't know. >> Here's the $17 tab. >> We need to get with somebody at City Bar and see if they want to press charges or what. So, she still has $20? >> Yeah, but she was She had a Delta ticket she showed on the side. >> She has $20? >> Yeah, but what I'm saying is if she refuses to pay >> We can't We can ask nicely for her to slide her credit card. But if she says no, then that's the end of >> Right, that's We can't just like we can't just turn her upside down and like shake her pockets out. That's not So, we got to ask. I get it, but there's only so much we can do without a victim that wants to file a charges. So, we can't make her pay. Like our we can ask her to pay and if she says I'm not paying, then the only thing we can then do is arrest her for not paying because we'd have to have a victim that would want to write a statement and identify her for charges. >> I don't know how much she talked with him because she was here yesterday doing the same thing. >> Okay. Did you see guys yesterday? >> Yesterday, I don't know what she did yesterday. My boss was home and told me she was doing the same thing. What? >> He's going to take her back. Just back to the Go back here with him. Hello. You have a bill you didn't pay? >> She needs to check the other phone. >> Well, you know if you go to a place and have drinks you got to pay for them, right? It's not free. Hello. Hello. You know you have to pay for the drinks, right? >> I don't know how to pull that up. >> Fruit Well, you didn't pay for them. So, do you want to go back and pay or do we need to figure this out a different way? >> What's your name, ma'am? >> Well, if we're going to play that game, we'll just we'll play that game. >> Yep. >> Didn't you have a Delta ticket yesterday? >> All right. You don't want to pay the cab go another route. >> And right now we're conducting an investigation into a retail theft. And Lance has you going to trespass her regardless so she's going to get kicked out of here regardless. >> I think I seen her yesterday. >> Yesterday. Yeah, I did too, and uh >> She came in here and >> What I believe had a Delta ticket, but I guess I don't know, maybe she just wanted to get a free ride. >> No, it was on her phone. Like the QR code. >> Mhm. >> So, I was like, "Whatever." But she came in asking for Tonka, and I was like, "I don't I don't know what to talk about." She just turned around and walked away. Then I kind of seen her just wandering hours. So, when I came out here, she was on the bar drinking. I immediately told her we need to keep an eye on her cuz >> Yeah. >> Hello there. I know you remember me cuz I gave you a lunch box yesterday, remember? And uh we told her you were getting off the property. However, you decided to stay and then go to a place. I guess you didn't get the ride that you were looking for and waiting for it yesterday, right? At this point, we're going to have to issue a trespass warning. >> I think it's over an hour. >> So, if you don't talk to us, that's fine. It's okay. But we're going to have to issue this to prevent you to come in here, you know? Cuz we don't we don't We don't want to visit this place and we don't want to we don't >> Man, y'all talk y'all Man, it's going in one ear and out the other, man.

Can you show us that, please? >> You're not going to be able to stay here, period. Regardless if you give us your information or not, you're going to be trespassed. What does that mean? So, you can go ahead and call for a ride. I don't understand what that means. So, can you give me some identification so we know who you are? Yes or no? You can nod your head if you want to be non-verbal. So, you're not responding, which is okay. But you say yes or no. >> Hell no, that's not okay. It ain't okay to be not Man, you better use your words. >> Nod your head, yes or no. You understand? Hi. Good morning. The looks don't phase me, sweetheart. So right now we're conducting an investigation. One, because you left your tab open at City Pub. So on that respect, we're waiting to see if they want to press charges or not. So you're being detained. So you can make it easier by giving us information of who you are. And if they do choose to press charges, then you'll be listed as a Jane Doe, which will make it harder for you to get out of jail. So if you want to go that route, I don't mind to oblige. We wouldn't be here if you didn't bring attention to yourself. Do you have any information with your name on it? Okay. You want to do the hard way. Not a problem. >> Ready to go to the store. >> Not a problem. Don't mess with my niceness after this. >> I had gentleman at City Pub and a young lady, African-American, was sitting at the bar consuming adult beverages. >> So we told her 57 dollars for the service. If I would have spotted her when she walked in, I would have refused service. >> Exactly, right there. >> You guys are You guys feel free to refuse service.

I don't mind listing you as John Doe at the jail. Maybe a little vacation will help you out. >> So I Okay. She getting them gloves on. >> drinking ability, right?
