By the time officers arrived, surveillance footage had already documented the act, along with a bag hidden nearby that tied directly to the incident. >> All right, so the items that she concealed in her purse, we watched her select everything and put everything in her purse. So, they've been really cooperative. I thought that she was a minor at first, and so that's why the family's in here, otherwise they would have stayed out. But yeah, they've been really really cooperative. >> She's 18? >> Yeah, yeah, just turned 18. No. I'll let you talk to her. Um, my finger's broken, so I've got to write that today, but I'm sorry.

It became a lesson that had already been set in motion. >> I'm curious about that. >> You're not a resident of Florida. So, I can't issue her a notice to appear because you live out of state. So, she has to go to jail for it. >> Can I drive here? >> No. >> I can drive down to go to the court. >> Unfortunately, no. Anytime you don't live in Florida, you have to go to jail for the offense because our notice to appears for like if you live were a resident here, it'd be different. Then if you don't have any criminal history, we could just >> If you were to appear to the judge, the judge would have given you one of those orders. >> Yeah, you have to live >> Can we use like my grandma's address and then we all drive down? >> If she has no priors, it's going to just be a misdemeanor offense.

So, it'll go to your mom. You can [music] be issued a citation for that, and that's a whole another I'm not going to, but just so you're aware, okay? I'm just saying, and and I'm not just trying to be rude about it, it's just the simple fact that you're not a resident here, so I have to take you. It's, you know >> We couldn't like use my grandma's address or anything to like say that >> You're not a resident. Your residence is up here in Lakeland.

It's about 30 minutes away. Um I'll work on the paperwork, they'll take your picture, fingerprint. Once you're booked in, you'll have the bond set. Mom or someone, if they want to bail you out, can come bail you out. If they choose not to do that, then you're going to have to sit there until >> Is this going to be like on my record forever? >> Will you stand by with your stuff for just a little bit? >> I'm going to school to get a level two license? I don't want to affect my career. >> I'm going to >> I don't want to affect my career. >> I mean, they'll probably ask you about it. >> Can I leave my seat belts? What's the difference between the two? >> Felony, you can't own guns. Yeah, both get a ride. What happened? >> What is going on with this? >> I'm sure. >> Is it because it wasn't a certain amount or >> It's because you're not a town resident in the state of Florida. >> That's all I can do.

Yep. >> So we can get her out. >> Thank you. >> In the end, Maria was charged with petty theft and arrested at the scene in front of her family and later taken to jail because she was from out of state.

They weren't going to bat an eyelid if it meant sending the stubborn girls to jail. >> How old are you? How old are you? >> Don't answer my questions. You're going to end up in handcuffs. You pick. >> Kidding. Gone. >> He's asking you. >> I'm asking you a question. >> You know what this is going to be? Quick. >> Okay. We are making this not quick. That's the thing. You didn't tell me anything. >> Well, they got to read them. >> Okay. I'm I'm asking you as a human as a person to person. If you want to get an attitude, you're not going to win this. I promise you. >> You're not going to win by raising your voice. >> Because you are refusing to answer any questions. So, if you want to end up in handcuffs, we can do that. We can make it super easy. Either way, I have paperwork to do. So, if you want to go home, you can tell me your name. If not, you can go to jail. Okay. Well, you're not going anywhere. Right now, you're being detained. You're not free to go. >> How are we detained? >> Because they're accusing you of shoplifting. So, until we figure out what's going on, you are not free to go. >> Now, we already figured that out. >> Okay. >> got this stuff. >> It doesn't matter. You still committed a crime. So, again, you're not free to go. So, do you have ID on you? >> No, we don't even have an ID. >> Okay. So, how old are you? >> Well, I'm a adult. >> If we give you everything, we can go? >> How old are you? >> We can give you the information and we can go. >> No. >> Oh.

So, how old are you? >> I thought we were supposed to see a video. >> You're not supposed to say anything. >> Well, that's what So said. Oh, yeah. Now, y'all don't know. Now you >> Why are you trying to act all tough? >> We already did. >> We got the deputies here now. They're in charge. They're in charge now. This is their building. >> Can you get the video? >> You're not You don't have to say anything. 65, what is that now? So, do you have my ID on you? >> They said no. >> I don't have an ID. >> Okay, how old are you? Get comfy. Cuz until we figure out who you are, you guys aren't going anywhere. >> At this point, their best bet was to cooperate, at least if their entitlement did not take the better part of their reasoning. >> You're making this harder than it has to be. >> Hey, this is so uh we're already about to catch the bus. >> Okay, well now you're going to miss the bus. Sorry. >> we knew we were going to miss the bus. >> Okay, sorry. Don't Don't commit a crime. >> Cuz like >> I know it's too late. >> I didn't >> That's why I'm here. >> I didn't say too late. >> You just did. >> No, I said too late. >> We do. >> Stand up, take your bag off, or I'm going to make you stand up. >> You can do the same. >> Okay, but can we look at that and see >> No, you have no right to look at that. >> She was telling us this whole time >> Okay, we're past that point.

Okay, hey, why are you hanging up? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> What am I being charged with? >> You're not tightening up. You're not tightening up or I'll charge you with another charge or I'll push you straight into the cell. >> What are you charging me with? I'm a minor. Are you going to Ooh, dumb ass. >> This is all I have to do with this. >> [laughter] >> What am I being detained for what? >> What did you say dumb ass? >> 251 shows two females detained. Okay, so now we're at this point. What's your name? >> So was this necessary? >> No. >> Was you not answering my question for the past 10 minutes necessary? >> This could have been very simple. You could have given me your name and I could have got the information and you guys could have been on your way. >> But instead, now both of you are on cuffs. >> I don't know what we do, John. I don't know what we do, Jane Doe and all that jazz. >> Within minutes, officers were able to confirm their identities and actual ages. >> And give me your phone. Go ahead. >> All right, she's 18. >> Yeah. >> What about the other one? >> She might not have a name by what I can't find at the moment, but I found the 18-year-old. >> I'm being cooperative or sorry is that a call? >> Nothing but.

We'll talk to you in a second. >> In the end, both are charged with shoplifting and resisting law enforcement. The teens thought that their age would protect them. This next case proved otherwise as an employee who stole from her own workplace had no choice but to admit it. >> She has been activating gift codes without paying for them and is keeping the gift codes for herself. >> Unfortunately I >> I can do so you won't press charges? >> Unfortunately, this is what the company wants to do. >> On the 11th of November, 2024, officers were called to a Walmart after store staff flagged suspicious transactions tied to an employee.
