Man should have minded his own business, got arrested instead. On June 10th, 2024, officers with the Hoboken Police Department were dispatched to a store after a man was allegedly caught shoplifting. By the time they arrived, however, the encounter had already taken an unexpected turn. He's been there today. He was here this morning. >> He wasn't here this morning. >> $400 this morning.

I did not thank nobody. I did not say nothing. >> No, I did not. >> No, I didn't. All I did was push it right here to where it belong. Eating food in the store. >> What food did I eat?

I was sweating from my ear. >> So, can you go around? >> You're arrested for nothing. >> Arresting you for terroristic threats and then you have possession of food medicine. Even after the officers reviewed Danilo's [music] own recording and heard from the staff, he remains adamant in maintaining his innocence. >> You guys arrested me for nothing. >> Yeah, because you saying I make the rising threats and I ain't threatening nobody. >> You just voluntarily showed me the video that as you threatening the employee. >> I didn't. >> You did? >> By then?
