You were just calling for like an hour. So, I like took the money like this and I went like this. >> Sure. >> And then in the face like that. That was all I did. >> She spit on me right here and then she slapped me in my face right here. And she also spit on him, too. >> I'm sure you're going to Is it a Is it a misdemeanor? >> Yes. >> I'm being charged with a misdemeanor? >> Strippers tend to think that some attitude, female charm, and a little persuasion can get them out of anything. But when the cops don't fall for the act, they quickly discover the real consequences of breaking the law and that there's some other side of the law that they don't really know. >> Listen, handsome man. >> Get your leg in the car. >> I don't like talking to you between these bars. Can I talk to you in person? >> You are talking to me in person. >> You're going to tase me? >> No. >> Do it. >> Stay in the blue box. >> I like a cute key. >> Here are the times when crazy strippers saw the other side of the law, starting with Cassandra whose emotional drive home after a rough shift quickly spiraled into a DUI arrest and a harsh lesson about the consequences of getting behind the wheel after drinking. >> I mean to. >> You're eating? >> Yes, I'm a stripper. I'm having a very hard night. I'm not going to lie to you, though. I had a drink. It was It's been about like 4 hours, probably, but I'm just very upset, though. >> So, you're going to be arrested for OWI tonight, okay? >> Really? >> Yes. >> I'm going to jail? >> Yes. Well, you you you'll be able to get a ride. Okay, so we'll explain everything to you. So, go ahead and put your hands behind your back. >> On January the 21st, 2023, an officer with the Berea Police Department spotted a vehicle committing multiple traffic violations. When the car was pulled over, we have the 18-year-old driver, Cassandra. And pulling her over was one thing for the officers, but it was dealing with insane levels of entitlement that would be a bigger problem. >> Hey, how are you doing? I'm Officer Valencia with Berea Police. Reason for the stop is you didn't stop at the stop sign over there. >> I'm having a really >> Okay, you're going to need to let me talk to you, okay? For a second, okay? You're swerving and you did an illegal U-turn, okay? >> Yeah, I know, baby. I'm having a really shitty night.

Put >> Okay, do you have your license and insurance on you? >> I really cannot afford to get in trouble, but >> Well, you got to think about your your your choices before. I mean, you know, especially if your dad's a cop. Are you close with your dad? >> Yeah, but my dad is kind of he needs this too. >> What is that? >> Registration. I just got a tag, so that's the paper they gave me. >> Do you have Is there anything in this vehicle? >> No, sir. >> Guns? >> You can look at my purse. >> Nothing? Okay, here you can have that back.

All right. Do you have insurance on you? >> Um Yes, I have State Auto. Can I just pull up it on my app? >> That's fine. All right, yeah, go ahead do that. Do me a favor, turn the car off, okay? When you do that, go ahead do that and then just relax there for a minute, all right? >> Cassandra insisted that she hadn't done anything wrong and believed that the situation was being blown way out of proportion. But as officers continued their investigation, they decided it was time to put her claims to the test. >> Can I send your car? Do you want to look through my car? Go ahead. There's >> No, no, no. Um we got to >> Go ahead. >> No, it we're going to So we what we want to do is we want to check your eyes. >> Okay. >> And it's easier out here. >> Okay.

No drugs? >> No. >> Okay. And how much alcohol did you say? >> I had two shots of Patron, but it's been about What is it? I don't have my Apple Watch on. It's been about 3 hours or 4 hours, so I'm probably >> Okay. >> fine. I'm just like, you know, the aftereffects. I just had a baby. I'm still postpartum. I'm very upset. I went to go pick up my friend. >> Yeah. >> No, and then he was >> Do you want any medications? >> No, baby. I don't take any medications. >> Okay. >> Probably not. >> Ever head injury recently? >> No. >> No head injuries, no uh Have you Have you ever been uh diagnosed with a nystagmus? >> I don't even know what that is. >> Exactly.

It's been a long day, so >> Okay, what did you do? Okay. >> Can I check your eyes real quick? >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Okay, perfect. >> During simple mental exercises like reciting the alphabet and counting backwards, the drunk stripper struggled to follow the instructions. When officers moved on to standard sobriety tests, her balance issues made the outcome clear. That was enough for them to make their decision. >> 1,000 14,000, 15,000, 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, 19,000. Oh, wait. >> Okay. Okay. You're good. You're good. You're good. Okay, just go ahead, just stand behind your car right over there, okay?

I'm Cassandra. >> Cassandra. >> Also, do you think I can Well, maybe I should ask him.

Did you want the hood back up or >> fine. >> Okay. >> I was just asking. >> All right. So what ends up happening is basically you can't get the vehicle out yourself because you're under the influence. >> So they want me to be sober, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Or you have other parties that are sober that get it and they have to have valid driver's license cuz we do check. >> Yeah, I mean my sister is that so I live with my sister. >> Okay, so it would have to be more than one because you they would obviously have to drive the vehicle that they're they're driving driving to the police department and then another driver that's valid and sober to drive your car out. >> her boyfriend's obviously with me now so probably >> Yeah. Yeah, and honestly >> I'm fine. I don't have nothing to do. So I went to work tonight and I don't know what I was thinking. I'm like, "Oh, I can handle a drink." And then I got very pissed off.

We got to go to some paperwork, all right? >> Okay, perfect. Thank you. >> Cassandra was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the police station for further testing. Moving on to Grace, a stripper whose crazy personality caused chaos as the officers struggled to contain her. >> A white female. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> At least seven different officers want to uh report me >> Mhm. >> as a [ __ ] cuz I won't sleep with them because I work there. I'm telling you. >> Okay. >> You don't know what the [ __ ] you're dealing with. >> Okay. >> You don't. >> In April 2023, Ohio police res- ponded to a crash involving a drunk 20-year-old exotic dancer named Grace Spoonamore. Accused of driving away after running into another vehicle, when officers confronted her, Grace's open defiance quickly set the tone for a chaotic encounter. >> Why would you do You don't do me like that. >> 26, 10-4, it's a female. All right, step out. >> A white female. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands your back. Why did you take off like that? >> I'm sorry. >> Were you drinking or something? >> No. >> Where you coming from? >> Broadway. >> All right, come on. >> Can you stop pulling me like that? >> Nope.

So, you are a drunk. >> And I'm going to keep it a buck with you. >> Where's the owner of that vehicle? >> I don't know. >> Who's Dante's Smith? >> bought it. >> Officers quickly confirmed Grace was under 21 and clearly intoxicated. Her agitation mounted with every question, turning a straightforward DUI stop into a frustrating puzzle for the officers trying to decide their next move. >> What is your name? Stay in the car. Stay in the car. >> Okay, I understand. >> Get in the car. >> I >> Get your foot leg in the car. >> Listen, handsome man. >> Get your leg in the car. >> It feels some type of way cuz my leg ain't in the car. >> Get your foot in the car. stop.

That's fine. >> So, at least seven different officers want to uh report me >> Mhm. >> as a [ __ ] cuz I won't sleep with them because I work there. >> Tension started to escalate by the minute as Grace's erratic behavior boiled over into a heated confrontation. Although she was clearly intoxicated, Grace understood she was already in a serious situation. Desperate to avoid the consequences, she began searching for a way to persuade the officers to let her go. And for a stripper, there was only one thing she knew best. It was her secret weapon. She did not mind using it on cops if they were ignorant enough to allow her. >> ABOUT MY ABDUCTION. I don't care. I thought I told you. >> Did she just spit on you? >> Yeah. >> All right, she's going down. We're not going to tase her. Hold on, Grace. We'll be with you in a >> [ __ ] you cuz YOU BROKE.

If you could tell her loved ones that, it'd be >> Okay. >> Arresting and putting Grace in the police cruiser was only half of the challenge.

Although these strippers were a handful to deal with, none of them were as courageous as Jessica, a stripper who thought being pretty meant that she could defraud a bank. >> Not because I'm black. >> I'm sure it's not because you're black. >> I'm getting paid, right? >> Okay, how much are you getting paid? >> 5 >> 100? >> 1,000. >> 5,000. Working at a club? Okay. Like a like a stripper or like a a um bottle girl? >> A dancer. >> On May the 9th, 2024, officers were dispatched to a bank in Orlando after employees reported a possible fraud in progress. When police arrived, they detained a woman, Jessica, who just tried to access an account. Unsure whether it was a misunderstanding or something more serious. But inside the bank, employees had already noticed the warning signs. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> Orlando police, so right now you're temporarily being detained, okay? So, I'll let you know what's going on, but if you could you talk with me with me? Just sit down for me. Sit down. Yeah, you're fine. Did you come in a car or no? >> I didn't. >> You did? >> I didn't.

I just >> Yeah, like I said, we got a call from the bank, so I had I'm not really sure what's going on. Obviously, I'm the only one here, so I still need somebody to go over there, talk to the bank teller, and I could get some answers for you. But, obviously, I can't tell you what's going on if we still haven't talked to the bank teller, and so I just got to go to another unit over here. And once we do that, we'll try to see what's going on, okay? Why are you laughing? >> Cuz that's weird. >> Why is it weird? >> Did the teller call a call you guys? >> Mhm. >> For what? >> That's what we're trying to figure out. >> I don't know, because I'm black. >> I'm sure it's not because you're black. >> No, because I'm black. >> I don't think so.

And once we started reading the notes, it says please call Google. Call y'all that she's committed identity theft, she's tried to open multiple accounts with different IDs. That's just an example of one of the other ones that she's done. >> So, but that was stuff that's already been done. What did she do today? It it's just basically >> Trying to get into this fraudulent account. >> She just tried to get in this account. >> Mhm. >> So, this an active account? >> No, it's locked up completely. Yeah, and then she's presented that ID on the back there. I opened another account with that ID. >> The 1982 date of birth. >> This sounds more like Yeah. So, she was just trying to get access to money today. >> Yes. >> So, the account is set up for >> So, first she's like I need my online banking and you take money out. Now I need to put money in. She kept saying like all these different things. Um but I couldn't do any of it. >> Yeah, so. Okay. >> 43040, it appears she came up here and tried to take money out of an account that has already been flagged for fraudulent stuff. She has a different ID on the back that's attached to here. You'll do me a favor, get her started on a statement. >> Okay. >> So, I guess my question to you is, did you give anyone permission to have any of your information on the Texas driver's license that's not your photo? >> Hey, no I did not. >> No, okay. And then with that being said, are do you want this person to, you know, do are you willing to press charges against this person for for having an ID with your information on it? >> I sure will. >> Okay. >> Jessica knew that there was no way that she'd make it out without consequences. But if there There one thing that she had learned in her line of occupation, it was that a pretty face often sells a convincing story much better. She needed a cover story, no matter how flimsy it sounded. >> I went to the bank. >> Okay. >> Trying to see if I could deposit some money onto my debit card and I come outside, they Well, first off, the lady puts you on to you to open back my account >> Okay. >> I've been calling the bank to see what was going on with my bank. >> Okay. >> Came up here to try and talk to them about my bank and they said, "Oh, I got to wait 5 minutes."

Uh so, it's since November and now have you been getting like direct deposits in the account? Do you use the account regularly or >> No, I haven't been using the account regularly. The only time about try cuz I was going to put some money on on the account right now and >> Okay. >> I couldn't do that because it was telling me that they were trying to open finish with the account. >> Okay. Uh were you going to deposit cash or check? >> to deposit cash. >> Okay. So, do you have cash on you? >> Yes, it's in my wallet. >> Okay. How much How much cash is it? >> It's 100. >> 100? Okay. So, you're coming to deposit 100 bucks. You want to put money in the account. That debit card, have you used it at all? >> Yes, I have used it a couple times. >> Okay. Uh if how much Do you know what the account balance is right now in the account? How much you got in the account?

Do you know? >> No, I haven't put in anything like since the debit card has been lost since the account has been acting up. >> Okay. >> put anything in my account. >> Okay. Have you tried to open an account at Addition Financial anywhere else? >> No. >> No? Okay. Um Do you recognize that ID? >> No. >> With your photo on it? >> No. >> You don't recognize that? So, according to Addition Financial, they said you tried to open another account with that same ID. With your photo on it. With a different ID, different name. You know anything about that? >> No. >> I mean, it's here. You know. The same photo as that photo. All right? And which is right over here, right? Now, if I told you that I talked to Ms. Jessica on the phone before I coming in and talking to you, would you believe me? Or do you think I'd be lying to you? >> I don't know. >> What do you think? I've been truthful with you this whole time. I don't think you've been very truthful with me. Okay? So, are you going to be truthful about what's going on? Or we can continue to lie about it, and I got to notate that you continue to lie to me about it. After more questioning, Jessica broke down and spilled the beans. Investigators quickly realized that she wasn't the mastermind, but even small players faced serious consequences. There's two other guys out here that are waiting for you in your car. Right? >> Yes, in my car. >> It's not your car? Okay. Well, two guys out here waiting in a car for you that are stopped there the corner That you can't see right now. Okay? So, at this point I think your story would have worked for someone who works at Addition Financial. But I think you and I both know Law enforcement has a little bit more information than what Addition Financial is going to have. Okay? If this isn't you why would you tell me this is you? I can tell you usually the person that goes in and opens the account and makes the withdrawals and deposits ain't the person who's making all the money in the end. All right? When that big $20,000 check hits mobile deposit or ATM and $20,000 come out I'm sure you ain't getting all of that. You're getting a piece of it for what you did but you ain't getting it all. I know you're the little fish here and I'm trying to give you the opportunity to talk to me about what's going on. Okay? But if you're not willing to talk to me, not willing to be truthful with me, there's not much more that I can do for you. Okay? So, what's going on? >> Um You're right. >> What's going on? I got a general idea of what's going on, right? But you're the one who's who's going to know the details about what's going on. And that's what I want to know. That's the only way I'm I can I can do anything for you is if I know the actual details. The overall picture I That's the overall picture for everybody's story. You know what I mean? So, how can I help you? How can I put in my narrative that you were truthful with me? And tell the state attorney later on, "Hey, she was truthful with me." Rather than lying to me and continue to lie to my face. It's going to be as long as you want it to be or as quick as you want it to be, right? >> I mean, this is going to take longer eventually. >> I mean, it could It's going to be long. I'd be lying to you if I if if I didn't tell you it wasn't long, but it could be extra hours or it could be and and that's the only way we can hurry this process up is if we can be truthful with one another, okay? Have a Florida ID? >> No. >> Where's your ID out of? >> Uh New York. I left it at home. >> Well, I'm sorry. Where like what state is it out of? Is it out of Florida, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia? >> Yes. >> Are you from Georgia? >> No, I'm from New York. >> You're from where? >> New York. >> Okay. Did you ever live in Georgia? >> I used to live here. >> Okay. So, what brought What brought you down here? >> Um this. >> This? Okay. I figured that, but I wanted to hear it from you. Uh is someone employing you? Are you getting paid to do this? >> I'm getting paid 5,000. >> Okay, how much are you getting paid? >> 5 >> 100? >> 1,000. >> 5,000. After what though? You're not getting 5,000 just for opening the account. What has to be done before you get the 5,000? >> Just this. >> Huh? >> Just this. >> Just open it and then eventually they'll hit the account for whatever they hit it for and then they'll break you off the five or they usually break you off the five up front? >> Uh they break it off up front. >> They break it off up front. Okay. Is it these guys that you're with? Or they just working They just working just like like you work. >> Realizing her best chance at leniency was to come clean, Jessica began revealing the full scheme to the officers. >> And now you live in Georgia, supposed to get paid 5K. How do they pay you the 5K? >> Uh they was going to pay after this is done. >> But like they cash app you, they sell you? >> was going to give it to me in cash. >> Okay, are they around here? Are they local? >> No, they're not over here. >> Where do they get How do you you meet up with them? >> Uh usually I meet up with them. >> Where? >> Um What is it called? OBT.

Speaking of crazy strippers, none of them raised the bar as high as Victoria, a stripper who assaulted a club patron because he refused to tip her. >> Uh I got by a stripper who got slapped in my face. >> Do you want to listen to what I have to say first? >> Absolutely, I'm listening. I'm so sorry. I'm just getting like I have a lot of anxiety. >> So, do me a favor. Step out on the porch, please. >> On February the 27th, 2024, police were called to a strip club after a man reported being slapped and spat on by a dancer for refusing to tip her. Officers arrived and took the victim's statement and began piecing together what had triggered the outburst. But as the investigation unfolded, they quickly realized the situation involved a level of entitlement that was out of this world. >> What's up? >> Uh I got slapped by a stripper who got slapped in my face and then spit in my face. >> Okay. All right. What what led up to that point? >> Uh I sat at a table talking about what I do for a job and I got spit on and slapped. >> Um are you with anybody else or just you? >> Just him. >> So were you there? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> All right.
