I was just going to borrow them. Yeah, so they they never left the store. Right. Well, I talked to the dude. The the bald dude with the beard. They're like, "We don't need to borrow or anything.

I told YOU WHAT IT WAS. HEY, we're taking her for obstruction or what? I don't know. Is that Was that her name? No, we're still trying to figure that out because we're not getting a return on what she gave us. I don't know if that's her driver's license name or if that's just the one she goes by. We don't have a return for that. So I need your real name. That is my real name. What's your real birthday? 1994. Look, my patience is thin. Please, I have not touched anything. Look. I came to shop before. That's what I'm saying. You're not going to jail for shoplifting cuz you didn't shoplift. But if we can't get a return for the barring, then we're going to have to go to jail. Okay. Thank you. I understand that. There we go. I'm not a homeless. I work. I go to school. God, ain't trying to What's the middle name? What's your middle name? Sorry. So she's saying she's a transgender. Yeah. Her name's Johnny. 93. So I got a return for that. Yeah. So she's going over her assumed name, not her legal name. That's an assumption. All right. So you actually got the return now? Yeah. They were about to shoplift two full carts. She She was pretty fast, dude. At first, I was like catching up and I was like, "Oh man, this ain't I shop here I shop here every weekend. Well, you've been barred, so you cannot come back here for 2 years. We gave the kids a show. Oh yeah, they were like, "Yeah, let's go." I was I was about ready to pay you, but I was like the whole way we got called here. If it was like Franco or somebody, it would have been like no big deal, but took off after you, I was like, "Well, Did you get your car?" No, I I was like, "Well, I guess I better help." I I thought I thought you were like still up No, I was right behind you. I kind of figured she was cuz I kept telling her stand right there and she kept moving. Yeah, so I know. If I knew that It's a really stupid thing to run for. You got to do some more cardio. I tell myself all the time, dude, but it never happens. I know. Every opportunity I get it. She was all sweaty on the ground and I just sweat right off. It's why I do 20 minutes on the treadmill every time I go to the gym. I just need to start doing sprints cuz if I can catch them in the first 100 yards, man, I don't need to run 2 miles every day. All these people they'll just they'll take off and use everything they got. All you got to do is outlast them. Maintain visual and everyone else will get there, dude. You ever see those videos of the guys in Africa who run like 80 miles behind like a wildebeest? And then they just they just jog behind them and they just outpace them and eventually the thing just falls down from exhaustion and they just spear it walk off. That's awesome. Or waiting on getting a return for the female identifies as a female. No, this is skinny. This is a transgender so they gave their assumed name and then they just gave us their real legal name. Yeah. I can't believe they called us and all this is going on with with this situation. So Radford called it in and he said like he saw them push about loading up carts again about trying to go out the door and they stopped them and they went back around when she came out. I stopped her and kept us told her to stand right there and we kind of and then started to shoot. I don't know. Is this is it the same girl? It's got to be. Is it? I mean she's like she's skinny in the back. Like real tall and skinny. If it's the same as the culprit last time, I don't think it is. Well, the last one No, it's not the it's not the same one. No, it's definitely not the same person. He took off those flip flops and we went to run and jump across the went across the road and gave up when he rolled up. You're not being arrested, but before we can let you go, we got to make sure we're barring the right person. Right, I know. I know. I'm just waiting for a picture. And then once we get that and we confirm it's you, you'll be good to go. No, cuz they didn't go past the point of sale or whatever with it. They didn't make it out of the store. All you needed was the ID, so they could just do the barring. They just Well, what what concerns me is that I'm okay now that Rafter was the one calling it in. Yeah. They would have called us. Academy would have called us and they didn't want to press charges. Well, we're going to cuz after all that going to press charges and we'll just subpoena them as witnesses. They don't have to be the prosecution. We can be the prosecution with all that with all that with all that running and all that other stuff. Because that's just Yeah, that's just stupid. You want to call us and then we respond and you got to pay Here's the picture of the person. Next time don't run. Wait. Especially if you didn't do anything wrong. Yay. Dispatch has been updated. That used to be you. Yeah. And I guess He's over there. Nope, it's not. Yes, that is. She was pretty fast. They Yeah. Whatever. Fast. Yeah. Let me just ask you since you're here. I'll ask both of you, I guess. So Just so I'm clear, which name do you prefer me to call you? China? Is that right? Correct. Okay, it's China. So, after speaking with uh our supervisors, you are going to go to jail for obstruction this afternoon. Okay? It's a couple of misdemeanor charges. You actually did obstruct. You're not going for shoplifting, you're going for obstruction. Officers were in the middle of an investigation and you ran from them. That is obstruction. That is the literal definition of obstruction. They were not going to hurt you. All you had to do was stand by. Listen, all right, look. We're not questioning you, but when we get called for a call for service All right. All right, you don't mind transporting? All right, you don't mind transporting? No, I don't know what you're talking about. I'll do I'll do everything else. So, John Doe for right now, I guess. I've never done it that way. Yeah, we're literally just going to name her John Doe. And then charge and I'll tell her when we get there that we need to identify. Okay. If you need anything, just let me know. Okay. Thanks. 9600 block. Starting my watch 88656. You're not going for shoplifting. Unfortunately, it was not my call. I'm just transporting. You should be out in an hour. I got one person. Is it male or female? Uh female. Thanks, good song, too. All of them are. Pretty, pretty, please. Will you ever ever feel Ma'am. Come on, let's go. Are you ready? I got your shoes. You ready? Faster we get in there, faster you can get out. You're not going to be in here long. They just need pretty much booking. Come on, make this easy. Do you want me to assist you? Nah, she'll get out in a minute. Okay. Come on, don't make us call for assistance. Just come on. You want to do it on your own? I want to drop out of here anyway. Come on. You already did that. I don't want to be in here. What is that for? Obstruction. What is that? So, basically it's when you hinder law enforcement from being able to investigate crime allegations. Mhm. So, that being said, um Academy believed you were shoplifting, but did not confirm. So, they just wanted to identify to figure out what you were doing, and then that was going to be that. But then, in the middle of it, before we could positively identify you, you ran away. So, if you just stayed and we figured out that she were not shoplifting, we would have left. So, I know social media paints such a bad picture on us, but if you just if you didn't do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Don't run. They locked the door and wouldn't let her out of here. Huh? Cuz they locked the door and wouldn't let her out of here. She has items on her and he took her purse. We can get your purse back. I did not admit to that. It doesn't matter. It's all good. It's a different story. I'm getting arrested for obstruction. I'm running cuz they think that my purse is in trouble. I locked the door when you had me in here. At this point, I'm getting charged with with shoplifting cuz you didn't shoplift. It doesn't matter. I'm still being charged. Cuz I don't have anything on me. They tried to lock me inside the store. Somebody was with me. They got scared and left me in my own vehicle. If that's the problem, I don't have anything. If you want, we can get you your purse back. It doesn't matter. My nephew was with me. He's on the other side of the street. He can drive my vehicle away from the store. That don't work. You think that could have tricked me? What's my name? What's my name? I'm giving them my name already. Give me the phone. I mean, I don't know her name out here. I don't know her name out here. Who has him? What's my name? What? So, basically, I'll explain. Uh she said she used to be Johnny's Johnny Gave us a birthday. Um the height and weight doesn't match. The height says 5'4". She's clearly not 5'4". The picture could potentially, but I'm not sure. Both female names she gave were did not come back with anything, so I don't know who they are, who she is. Okay. Well, give the give the boy No, I'm going to search him in the chamber. Okay. I got to agree. I got to get it together. Search the male. No, you're not going to touch me. I'm not going to search you. I said I'm getting a male to And I have to get a male to search me in the chamber. No male has to search my body in the chamber. And the gloves are a victim. Gloves are a victim.
