Okay. >> Okay. >> Um we'll process you. Okay. Have you ever shot from Target before? >> All right. All right. Um we're going to find out. Okay.

So, store saying you paid for other things that you left at the store. >> Okay. Are you aware of that? >> Okay. Not really. I'm not aware of that. >> Okay. Did you buy other things and leave in the store? Like at that point, that would technically be your property. So, it doesn't make or break this case.

Did you guess? >> I paid for things. >> Okay. All right. And you left them there. Okay. All right. Like, these aren't hard questions. The officers now make it clear that they need a straight answer from the woman. >> Have you been arrested for shot before? >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. So then this isn't a new concept. All right.
