stop now you're catching another charge let me see your hands roll down all four Windows do it now some lady called DCFS and what kind of made some claims that you had a child that accidentally shot themselves criminals always hope they can get away with their illegal acts but some Crooks try to hide their tracks in the most ridiculous ways today's episode will show you what happens when dumb criminals try to cover their crimes you two are suspects in numerous Best Buy burglaries throughout the entire State of Florida on video the stuff he pointed out he stole which why I'm asking I pointed stuff out yeah I don't understand what that mean on May 14th 2024 officers were called to a Best Buy due to reports of two suspected shoplifters who'd been linked to a series of thefts from several Best Buy stores it didn't take too long for the situation to escalate inside okay so it's two people for yeah but she's in the white Cherokee right now that's her over there yeah okay so now apparently they stole something last week yep we have that video okay did you guys report did you guys have a case report from that I'm not sure if we do or not I know we have video I'm saying you know if someone maybe from your store reported that incident let me find out okay Wesley um you said that he did conceal something keep driving down here you'll see a white Grand Cherokee next to a Geek Squad van the female's there if you get tent well with her Hey sir sir come here don't do it 280 2013 is running southbound hey stop it was at this point that the officers took the suspect down it's a pretty safe bet that after his arrest this guy needed medical attention because it looked like it hurt but criminals should know they're living a dangerous life so if they get hurt they can only blame themselves D stomach all right bro out okay good you got him yeah stop the car stop the car get out I didn't do anything get out of the car I didn't do anything get out of the car what did I do sir now hands above your head what did I do being detained come here I didn't do anything sir what did I do I anything this is her glasses can I give her glasses nope her glasses bro get in the car at first glance it might have seemed like a heavy-handed arrest but the officers are following protocol and they've got solid Intel from the Best Buy employees so they know they're detaining the right person hey just so you know they got warrants everywhere man we got all got thank you sir we'll take that from you in a second you good bu yeah what we doing what's going on bro I'm not your bro I'm sorry I forgot I was talking to you sorry what's going on why'd you run what you doing why'd you run why'd you chase me I didn't chase you you ran okay okay right you want to play that game yeah so all in total across what he stole probably like 15 grand yeah they D like 15 grand so you know we got warrant from every County St louy got out hell yeah well not so no not warrant but like bolos we have an AP alert system but yeah Grand man already yeah we have the property here I'm just hold on to this though so we can talk man and stuff like that and then we have the other video of and all the other stuff he can show you that too she went behind that blue truck and I was calling him out like hey come here and then he takes out his waistband and dumps it on the floor and then he takes off oh God damn it I know I saw you just don't know how happy this team is they got us for 7 Grand man 1,600 between all across the other stores in Florida about 16 Grand 17 grand that they the cops are not just dealing with a simple smallscale theft here the suspects were accused of stealing $7,000 from this store alone thankfully they were caught on surveillance cameras they're going to struggle to cover up this one but that doesn't stop the woman from giving it a good go you understand the right I just read to you yeah all right so what what what happened nothing I just went into the store and I didn't anything what's that I went into the store I didn't I didn't do anything I didn't take anything so I don't really know why I'm beinge okay like I didn't take anything so who was what what happened with him I have no idea to start from the beginning of I just went into this store and that's it I didn't do anything I didn't take anything I don't understand why I'm being detained right now okay I just don't know why I'm in handcuffs I didn't do it anything we're going to get to that okay so what happened inside Best Buy why would I don't know okay who is he to you my boyfriend a long time it's your boyfriend not really a good choice but all right and what happened with your boyfriend I don't know I'm not so where were you when I was in this this whole time the woman keeps protesting that she didn't do anything but she isn't fooling anyone even if she wasn't the one who was shoplifting she could still catch a charge of aiding and ab batting she also said she's legally blind which begs the question why was she behind the wheel of a car and you witnessed this happened I saw him grab something from the Shelf okay he went over to appliances I have clear video of him trying to take the spider wrap the security device off of it he took it off put it on a base stack near vacuum cleaners and he went to go tuck it and then he ran he tackled him he dropped it right there near under the tire of a handicap car that was parked up there what was the female's part in all this what was she doing inside the store long story short they stole about $1,700 from us about 2 weeks ago and we have a system called or or AP alert they've hit multiple Best Buys all throughout the State of Florida it's about 16 17 grand of just random product everything from Dyson air wraps to audio equip do you have them on video with those not on those ones so my GM is getting in contact with our higher up AP manager to like I guess communicate with you guys but as far as like what happened at this store my manager tomorrow is going to pull video film of it for you guys tomorrow okay the store's employees are struggling to pull the CCTV footage off their system but they promise the cops they'll deliver it the next day meanwhile the woman is still denying committing any crime and the man refuses to talk at all do you use drugs yes okay what kind of drugs do you use heroin heroin and what about him Xanax heroin and xanax have you used any today yes now listen we're going to have a female shirt us anything on your person right now no nothing okay is there any in the vehicle so in the pastor door there's a bagy with a white powdery substance what is that in the passenger door in the front of the vehicle powder SI yeah it's like a white powdery subance it's supposed to be like Molly but it's nothing it's like some CH is that yours his it's not mine the fact that they both do drugs does answer some questions they're obviously stealing to fuel their drug habits note that the woman is still saying she's innocent despite the fact that there are drugs in the car and she was able to tell the officers exactly what it was you two are suspects in numerous Best Buy burglaries throughout the entire State of Florida on video at numerous stores so to sit here and tell me that this is the first time you've done it I didn't say I didn't answer you okay I'm just letting you know you're on video video for numerous different agencies you're suspects and they have charges on both you just didn't know who you were because on video the stuff he pointed out he stole which why I'm asking I pointed stuff out yeah I don't understand what that means so how would I point it stuff I don't so this is a finger this is pointing you use this finger to point out a product that he stole the woman tried denial and found that it doesn't work so she now tries pleading ignorance the problem is is that the cops have her and her boyfriend dead to R both for shoplifting and for drug possession she told us openly her choice yeah she told me that too heroin so I mean it's possibly it's heroin I'm not sure is there a couple of those or there one no six of them okay so we could break one to test in heroin kit and the rest if it comes back and nothing we can just send it to the lab for testing right so this one tested positive for fenol that the white crystal okay from the previous incident here on April 30th looking at theft for today's incident resisting arrest take a seat for me sir cuz you ran from the sergeant you also have on your side of the vehicle panol and the GRS panol yes sir all right let take a seat for me you won't be in here that long we're about to get out of here okay at various Best Buys throughout Miami these two stole items worth about $20,000 the male was charged with resisting arrest felony Grand Theft possession of controlled substances and first-degree petty theft the female was charged with Grand Theft on July 2nd 2023 cops from Palm Beach Gardens Florida had to act fast pulling over a suspicious vehicle as it left a CVS Pharmacy the cops already suspected that the occupants had been involved in a theft and when the driver committed a traffic violation they had the perfect excuse to pull them over hey lower the back windows lower the back windows did you hear what I said I said lower the back windows put your hands up hands up hands up you I don't know what the hell you got I do don't move around bro keep your hands up you understand what I'm telling you keep your hands up okay and you stop moving around I'm not moving okay don't move around just hang out right there step out of the car man he wasn't doing anything step out of the car step out look out that back yeah just leave your phone in there yeah I need my phone now it seems that these criminals are playing dumb from the outset the officers giving simple instructions but they're having a lot of trouble following his orders and doesn't vode well for their chances of getting away with that I can't hit my vape no you can't hit your Vape just I'm not being rud to you I don't know why your I'm not being me Myck that was all it's great I don't I don't care about that question okay I'm telling you what to do you got to do what I tell you to do I am you told me not to move and I told you to walk over there just stand right there and I'm standing right here simple test look right here yeah turn around turn around right there perfect I didn't do anything I was in the car they told me to take him to CVS and I waited for them to come out I didn't do nothing wrong okay yes relax what did I say you're doing something really bad did I take you out of the car or throw you in cffs and no I I think you're just driving it's it's fine you're oh God the reason the reason I'm stopping you is you're doing 40 and a 30 you got to slow down a little bit Taylor why kep saying go go go go Taylor all on man listen just stay in the car don't move around and stuff okay I'm going to see did you see them doing any drugs or anything like that ma'am you sure oh no CU that would you busy watching out the window and there we have a Twist in the case it looks like these dumb criminals have recruited their Grandma to be their getaway driver and while it's sad to see a frail old woman all scared like this it's a little too soon to assume that she's completely innocent you know they're committing crimes huh you know they're committing crimes they're coming out they're telling you go go go right yeah get go grandma go I did I in Tor but you can't let them take advantage of you like that man I never speed I always keep the speed just take it easy okay relax take it e why do you let them take advantage of you like this no my car no I know I know but why do you let them take advantage of you like this I didn't want to do it they had to take him to public they needed food yeah but you know they're stealing stuff huh you know they're probably stealing stuff right yeah who's that to you is that a family my grandmother that's your grandmother she she what she no idea no idea about what she was just giving us a ride she had no idea about what though huh about what she was just giving us a ride to be fair to this dumb criminal he probably genuinely feels bad right now that he involved his grandma as an unwilling accomplice that's why he tried to protect her by saying that she had nothing to do with this but by saying that he incriminated himself he must have forgotten that the cops haven't told him yet that they're aware of the theft do nothing okay not end of the world for you man it's not the end of the world okay I didn't do okay listen why you guys taking advantage of your grandma like this why why bro it's one thing to do it with other people and [ __ ] there nothing thing to do bring your grandmother into this bro yes you are you're making her drive you around while you guys shoplift stop it bro where are the drugs bu what drugs the drugs that you're trying to stuff where are the drugs are they under the seat I'm going to rip the whole seat off I'm going to cut the whole seat listen I don't have any okay what were you stuff I didn't stuff anything listen I saw both of you guys stuff I just took something out of my pocket I put it where huh on the floor I don't have any drugs listen I'm going to tear up the whole seat I'm going to tear it up I'm going to cut it open and everything because there's a little hole there right where you were sticking your head right and that go in car yeah in the car yep right under the seat gra do not let them tear apart your car get a dog cuz there's no drugs you're not going to tear it apart in the car in the car yeah you want me to show it to you what just hang out right here buddy you want me to show it to you yeah hang if the cops want to tear the car apart to search for the drugs he was hiding they will drug addicts aren't usually known for their moral fiber but using your grandmother as a getaway driver that's a new lad either way listen you have we have in Florida what's called furtive movements furtive movements means that when you move around in the car when you get stopped after I can search that whole vicinity of where you moving and luckily for you you were moving all over this all over the place and into that spot took one thing out of my you were you were both like I'm going to tear your Grand's car apart I'm going tog it doesn't work that way it doesn't work that way unfortunately you just going to knife and tear her part her car that's not what I said that's not what I said I me that's I'm I'm going to look exactly where you you just said there was drug paraphernalia that's a pharmacy prescription with my name on it or her is your name on it one of them what's her name what what's her name read the bottle I'm asking you you said there were drug paraphernalia that's a legal prescription he's asking me that's my PO bottle right there on that car the reason the cop is asking for their name is because if none of their names match the one on the bottle it's no longer a legal prescription selling prescription medications is a felony while possession can get you jail time depending on the type of medication in question Taylor's got a warrant so he's going to go to jail oh he's going to go to jail he's got a warrant am might okay am my you're going to be fine you're not going to get no tickets you're get nothing okay just relax you're fine you're not going to get in trouble at all no matter what okay don't worry all right you're fine anything you want to tell me about CVS before I go over there um be honest because we're here now we already talked to Taylor is it mhm we already talked to Taylor so I just want to get your side so just I mean I took some stuff from there okay what' you take the male suspect tailor says he has nothing illegal in his possession but as the cops pointed out he does have an active warrant and that means he's going straight to jail if they find anything on him after he arrives at the jail he'll then be charged with a felony in the future just don't let them take advantage of you they're taking advantage of you cuz you're such a nice person they're such a nice person at the first time they took advantage of me God forbid they put you in a bad spot and you get hurt I know you can't afford to do it I never did nothing like it's all right all right it's all right okay he I love you I love you to he look at me I love you I sorry sorry Grandma I'm sorry I'm sorry I love you this scene is just like Romeo and Juliet but with drug addicts if Taylor really loved his grandma and his girlfriend he certainly wouldn't have put them in this position while this sweet moment could have been a good time to start behaving right Taylor here pulls one stupid stunt after another what' you do bro hand shot you can't do that man you can't do that bro no no man hop on out buddy come on man over there I you slipped your cups bro I didn't slip them you clearly did in front you know it's a right it's called a why is he like pushing a because he put his handcuffs in the back and check his arm I didn't Escape anywhere though listen I had shoulder surgery 6 months ago stop mov then you shouldn't have done this if you had shoulder surgery you shouldn't have done this cuz now it's not going to be a good ride for you it's not going to be a good ride for me correct there going to be more a mission I'm going to have to Cuff you a couple more times I'm going to have to probably put some cuffs on your feet are serious you're not allowed toing go around and just stop it no tight that right now bro I'm going to Su the out of off stop it that hurts I want to videotape this right now because no he's got his arm up against him he's got his arm up against him yeah of course look at the way he's acting I know we're not going we're not he's H these dumb criminals are being taught an important lesson about how actions have consequences but they're trying to sell it as excessive force Taylor keeps shouting at the cops to loosen his handcuffs but he's not the one in charge stop moving around man stop moving around calm down so purpose I know calm down maybe you shouldn't flip your cuffs behind your back you want to run into this issue buddy can you slide fingers in there yeah yeah fuing shoulder surgery arthritis care I don't care care NP I don't care you're going to be the next one that chokes a motherucker to death and loses his job okay who gives a I just had surgery that's great building buildings for people like you oh yeah building me the building I have a bachelor's degree in engineering wonderful you can change your life around bro you don't have to live this lifestyle man you don't have to bro you're a smart guy you're a smart guy you keep putting yourself in bad spots unnecessarily bro unnecessarily right or wrong you know what I mean I know I know I get it bro listen I don't I don't I don't judge you bro I don't like I said bro I don't think you're a bad dude you're just making these dumb decisions for no reason bro it's always nice to see cops stepping up to offer kindness and advice to suspects even the most belligerent ones that's going above and beyond the call of duty but it's also an important reminder that the criminal justice system is about Rehabilitation as much as it is about punishment so we had two subjects in here um they left they got stopped and we found a bunch of property that belongs to here and uh she admitted that she stole it itemized list and if you guys want to prosecute I would say yes especially because of that there's a lot yeah Guard Pro 62 to 5205 she's getting an amount now but that is prosecution Perfect all right okay Grandma you're good to go uh you're good to go I'm going to give you a warning slow down a little bit speak Li here is 30 it's his fault they were telling you to go I know I know I know be safe all right have a great day okay don't worry relax you're right okay eventually the female suspect admitted to the theft because they were hungry she said they stole food the store they stole from chose to prosecute and while the grandma was let off with a warning the two shoplifters weren't as lucky on July 2nd 2023 officers carried out a traffic stop on a vehicle that had a suspended registration number as soon as the officer started talking to the driver he suspected there was more to the story hello police department ma'am you have your driver's license registration insurance and keep your hands out of your pockets whose vehicle is this I just barely bought it yesterday you just barely bought it yeah you want to see the receipt how did you just barely buy it you mean you don't have like a buy or sell purchase yeah I se where do you have it at is there anything of concern in the vehicle weapons anything like that mm- no you know the reason I was pulling you over right no is insurance is suspended and as well as the registration oh really cuz uh the person that I bought it from said everything was good and i b it from a you don't have a driver's license not on me I could look it up online you don't have no proof of ID I can show you my Facebook your Facebook yeah no yes you heard that right when the officer asked for her ID and registration she offered to show him her Facebook profile unsurprisingly the officer can't accept that as proof of identity told me that if you had any questions or anything for you to call my attorney or my grandmother cuz I'm incompetent so you seem pretty competent talking to me and driving a vehicle if you're incompetent you be driving a vehicle then yeah so why you driving a vehicle on a public roadway if you're I apologize okay so you see how this is not adding up where do you live at here I don't know where do you live at as soon as I got behind you you decided to pull in fast as hell yeah as soon as I got behind you going to stop me no he didn't yeah he did that's why I came here and I st my hand all right oh you usually get a a buy or sell a purchase not just a little receipt like this really you want to go with me to where I bought it [Music] from for what I feel good you don't feel good all of a sudden what the suspect didn't know is that while the cop was questioning her dispatch was already running a background check on her and discovered she has warrants out for motor vehicle theft and burglary with these facts alone her story about the vehicle purchase flew right out the window and the cops had enough reason to arrest her Destiny Destiny hey sge Desy come on come on wake up wake up get out what did you use no it's hot sit down right here sit down right here sit down all right camera's on you're under arrest is for a warrant so we're taking this out of your pocket what warrant is it okay got a bunch of cash yes when's the last time you used so that we know if you're overdose what to get you to get you help okay what did you use earlier you don't know two three four five 6 7 8 9 10 and be careful in this vehicle there's Sharps and needles that are not C yes sir it seems like the dumbest criminals are always on drugs and this woman identified as Destiny is a great example of that it's a good thing the cops pulled her over because she would have posed a serious risk if she'd been driving when she started nodding out what did you take to Miss Destiny correct yeah can they sit right there that tire is hot yeah here let me pick you up okay 1 2 3 we can sit in the Cara better yeah okay so the ambulance is going to come and check you out okay but I need to know did you take anything yeah what did you take Destiny um remember you don't remember do you remember kind of like what it look like no cuz they're going to ask you right now when the fire department comes okay and they need to know that way they know how to help you yeah just she so she says she takes something she doesn't know where she took so and here's her 49 man or her name and date right good so going to check your vitals you know you don't know what she took she's been coming in and out of it no no no both Fe or did you take a pill I remember come on Destiny you got to help me help you I remember honestly this woman is so messed up that her claim to not remember what she took seems believable still the Medics need to know what she's taken so they can look after her because if they treat her for one drug and she's taken another things could end up even worse leave her handcuff she's arrested at this moment she's in custody going with them car going car like bad passeng s seats one blue pill foil and a cut I think right now she might have swallowed so they're not sure [Music] any hey stop you're going to stop now you're catching another charge you're going to jaw regardless so you need to stop you going get one this this all right well we can't we can our can you guys feel good yeah our can makes it feel that way okay the Medics have treated her with Narcan which is used to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses however it can also cause opioid withdrawal which seems to be This Woman's excuse for assaulting the officers she was charged with battery on a peace officer and contemp of court on the 26th of March 2024 officers in Florida stopped a driver who was suspected of robbing a customer at Walmart you'll want to pay attention because this case is a little complicated but in a dumb criminal sort of way let me see your hands roll down all four Windows do it now hands out the window hands out the window driver step out of the car slowly do it now felony stop step out of the car do it now slowly walk back to me go that way spin around all right everybody else keep your hands up don't move yep we're doing an investigation did you get your purse snatched uh he sto my money out of my hand in the uh yeah we got him oh my oh he said he had a gun and he's going to shoot me in my face officers got a call from this woman with pink hair and that's why they're here during the call she claimed that an armed male had stolen cash from her purse threatened her and then fled the scene so now she wanted the cops to look for this unknown man how many more people in the car just two I got you man front seat passenger step out front seat passenger step out I take my seat belt off you're good man take step out slowly I got you slowly got gun I got do me a favor get on your knees right there behind your car go that way go that way I'm on the ground I got you man just take one step to your right ground come on man God damn we a't do nothing do me a favor just don't move all right appreciate you man the lady in there she was older she seen them talking to me he told me that he wanted he needed help with some money I said okay um well I'll probably have you know some change in my purse and so he was by himself he was by himself so when I put my head down to reaching my purse he was like you might as well just give me all I said no what are you doing then six dudes came like surrounding me so far this seems like an open and shut case officers have detained several suspects and they have a witness statement from the appearent victim but in this particular case not everything is as it seems so that he asked you he initially asked you for money yes he asked I help him with some money he said he need and I said I don't have 100 but I can give you something of what I have I just got off work he like you don't have a cash app or a car I said no I'm not going to go that far by the time I put my head down he snatched it out of my hand I was like where are you going and he was like oh don't worry about it don't worry about it and I was like how are you going to steal money from me you just ask me to help you with something and I followed them out here okay and you can identify the guy that's yes I can I know exactly how they look what happened off what they say had a gun or something man I beat up people playing three car Molly that's all I said a red car win black lose and I got it recorded when he took the money out of your hand did he meant threats to you or yes I as soon as I said give me back my money that's all I have I just got off work I'm getting some food to feed my kids he was like you better back the up before I break your face I was like you don't know if I have any type of protection on me and he was like he was like you're not going to do [ __ ] I promise you out he was like I got a burner and I will blow your face out that's what he said and that's what made me back up CU he stood St he stood tall and went like that in I back can we Che with for some once he puts his fist out to swing all of the guys surrounded me and I backed up and it was some lady here screaming saying please don't do her like that and that's why they ended up going away okay since the woman has a witness it's good news for her as this will help to strengthen her case but let's not take anything at face value just yet and wait to see what happens next so you're you're just going to look out the window over here okay that's them that's all of them need to come uh do you want is which which one is the one that took the money though said do you want any which one's the one that took the money is it what about him over there this is what uh either him or him holding in his hand just don't want him to blow away all right so we're going to go back inside and look at some video but you're just hang tight with me okay if anything can sort this out it's going to be video footage from surveillance cameras it'll be interesting to see what the camera's caught as you'd expect them to show the robbery taking place right she was playing the game money so they Shuffle the cars around whatever in the hand you playing that at Walmart yeah well the lady I told her here playing the game the guys were ready to W she follow behind so she kept one she kept winning and then all a sudden she lost C thank you can you her witness please that's Mone that's that's she s and she's yeah she's writing a statement that she needs help CU she she speaks Spanish she was talking to no no no I I haven't cuz I was just trying trying to figure out he walked in as I was trying to figure out if anyone witnessed it what all did she did she tell so she told me that she was standing back there behind the check out she said this male approaches her and says hey can I have $100 she says no I'm not going to give you $100 but I'm willing to give you some money yeah like I said we'll have a translator help you um with all that so she said she never played G she never played the G she said I'm not playing no G it looks like the witness statements to not cooperate well with her story here's what actually happened she lost $600 in a gambling game and called the cops because she wanted her money back by lying to the cops about what happened and further claiming she was threatened with a gun those men were put in danger and things might have ended with someone getting shot I just looked at the video and I didn't see him snatching money from me what if you have the money I have the money in here yeah I didn't I must have miss something listen the money was right here I had the money like this m when I when I told him I said I got I got a 100 but I'll give you some change I had to I had to go in my purse and get change cuz he was never going to get $100 he approached me to ask for some money to go back to whatever trip he need to go back to I can tell he wasn't from here I never seen him a day in my life I've been here all my life 600 so 400 and 100s get it back she can get it back she get it back we just trying to get the that's what trying to and like I said you play the you play the game you're not inou playing the game right I know but we just trying to get to the bottom of everything that's why he's willing to give you money as you can see the guy she lost the money to is willing to give it back to her which probably has something to do with the fact that he's in the back of a police car and doesn't appear to have a Gambling License so if somebody comes up to you trying to play games with you I probably he didn't approach me to play a game he never approached me to point the first apprach was to go to a TR to go back we watch the video and you're playing with him and him money and you're playing a three card game which is illegal told you guys you can't gamble that's gambling okay so he he's willing the other two guys were in it with him they all know each other okay so they were trying to play and that's what they do he's willing to give you the $600 back if you want to go to the Dollar chur where you were just at and get the money from coordinate with the off what about the other guys as well cuz they got real aggressive do you have a car yeah my car is part you know where the Dollar Tree is yeah they're right there but just go there get your money there's no charges to press is what we're saying there's no actual robber you played a game with him and exchanged money you gambled it doesn't seem fair that she's getting her money back that's no way to teach this woman a lesson however while the staff was right that there are no charges to press it only applies to the men she accused she on the other hand could still get a charge for the stanchy pull so when they were gambling and she um he took her money she followed him outside and what threat did she say he said to her you better back the up or I'll break your face on so that's her statement that's what she that was the threat that's her I got to I got to swear her too that she took off while I was in the security they a so also just so you know the video that they watched there's her exchanging money to him behind the register where she said he initially snatched it there's no snatching it's an exchange and then they go back outside and she exchanges money with him again I mean we can talk with Miss 911 I mean she could have call we're going cold we had air one up we would have authorized a Pursuit so plan to her what happened for Miss for some reason this officer outside the Dollar Tree is the only one here who seems to realize just how serious the woman's allegations were it looked like the other cops were just going to let this woman get away with her money back so you're going to be going for misuse of 911 misuse of what 911 misuse of 911 of what you can't I at least get my money back from the yeah we'll get your money back what's going on my phone is De you said I'm going to jail for a b p of 9 getport you can't be serious right now absolutely serious we watchat the video of what happened completely different and your phone call triggered a response where we got certain resources up and we're responding a certain way that puts people in danger puts us in danger puts person out of their house he just grab their son authoriz the pur on this car the video does not show him anybody ever reaching in your purse and taking money he did the video shows in exchange of money between you and him and that's what I gave him okay the video shows an exchange of money between you and him inside the Walmart and then after you walk outside of the Walmart she doesn't even seem to care that she's being arrested because all she wants is her money back it's hard to have any sympathy for her because she lost it in the first place because she gambled away she was charged with misdemeanor misuse of 911 on August 2nd 2022 a man was pulled over in Minden Louisiana the driver later identified as Howard Davis Jr immediately appeared suspicious to the Louisiana state trooper how's it going I expected you to be a Miss Bullock when I ran the tag came back to a lady named bulock is that your wife I got you my name is trole ell at the State Police it took me a minute to stop you cuz everybody's in the left lane won't get out of the way the reason I came to stop you is when you pass me back there you got right in behind that van in the right lane and y'all riding like one car length apart from each other if he has to slam on his brakes or if there's anything over one of these Hills y'all have no chance like there's no way you're going to be able to stop so we recommend that anytime you're on the interstate at 70 mph at these speeds at least seven car links is needed to stop if there's an emergency so if you find yourself Ro you either got to back off or you got to go around them do you have a driver's license I can check out so she your wife or girlfriend which one why I just know you had a different last name the fact that they pulled this guy over for driving too close to the vehicle in front could well be a hint because most cops will only do that if they have a good reason to suspect the driver of some other crime otherwise they'd be pulling over everyone you ain't from here down here are you I got I I grew up in streetport that's why that's where I live Street port's bad right now man oh yeah yeah it's violent down here A bunch of gang activity in streetport right now people getting car jacked in broad daylight see if you can find that for me why why you do I'm going to go check your license I'll be back CH check Mar 26 it's out of North Carolina it's a Howard Davis Jr CH shows several charges with possession of cocaine possession of guns possession of drug paraphernalia and off Davis's story just doesn't seem to add up but he's not legally required to tell the cops why he's in the area on top of that the officer just found out that Davis has a history of drug and gun possession and resisting arrest you came all the way over here to see my town like you ought to know at least what street or what hospital or something I went to um what's that the damn hospital soon you come off the thing right there the big hospital we got like five or six of them in I can't remember the name of this well look here's the thing it ain't nothing personal but what I do while I'm out here is if I feel like somebody's nervous or being deceptive with me you know I like to ask more questions just make sure they're not doing anything they're not supposed to be doing okay so we get a lot of crazy stuff out here we get people hauling people we get people hauling illegal money guns people huling traffic and dope okay got a little bit of history of that okay so like I said it's nothing personal that's just why I'm making sure your story is what you say it is it turns out that Davis had been driving in North Carolina the previous morning and then in the evening Dallas Texas this guy's covered a lot of ground on the way to a hospital he can't remember the name of you've been through this before okay I'm going to ask you consent to search your vehicle do you have any large amounts of US currency like $20,000 are greater you have any guns in the car do you have any cocaine no any marijuana methamphetamine okay would you give me consent the search I ain't going to give you search okay well look that's your right okay so what I'm going to do I'm going to run my dog around your car I'm just going have you hang tight right here while we wait okay how much cocaine did you get caught with I know there was more than one time but like hey it's I an ounce or two an ounce or two cuz I saw some of it was coke some of it was crack and some of it was base we doing like some street level stuff yeah when I end up going to court and all got this wh all that it ain't nothing personal man it's just you know that's my job the fact that the cops had a sniffer dog ready suggest that they were tipped off about his arrival why else would they have dogs on standby Davis then told the officer he's in town to visit his friend Steve Jones whose mother's in the hospital with cancer his story might have been more believable if he'd simply come up with a less generic name how many physical days have you been in streetport what is the exact date you arrived in streetport from North Carolina you almost got me with that my bad my bad what you chewing on oh so what day did you get to streetport I came I came to Street days lell you at least know the name of the club L Ellen you know how bad L Len got you ain't gave me one good name for stport or Dallas what louen got so many bars out there it's like everybody out there just GRE we're going to get this over with we'll be cool with you if you're cool with us got some history resisting I'm being cool with you yeah yeah but we got to keep a cordal he's going to come back and explain to you how all this works I know what it looks like when the dog alerts on the car and Handler just gave me the signal yes that the dog alerted on the car okay sniffer dogs aren't 100% reliable so they're still still a chance that Davis is innocent even if he spent 2 Days on the Road without so much as a change of clothes at this point though Davis's odds are not looking good if you got something small I don't care like some personally Ed stuff I'm not about to throw you in jail halfway across the country for some personal Ed stuff if you got something big and you want to be helpful and be honest and and stay help yourself Now's the Time I ain't got nothing ain't got nothing in the car that's his expertise he'll explain it to you turn around turn around now yeah and we know we've got hilos I'm going snap a couple pictures we SE and A2 4 and 1/2 kilos definitely doesn't qualify as personal use and it's worth over $100,000 on the streets Davis was arrested and faced a 40-year sentence and a fine up to a million he was eventually sentenced to 22 years in prison and 5 years of supervised release on July 25th 2023 cops attended the residence of sushi Staples after the DCFS reported that she had a child who shot himself hi are you Miss Staples yes how can I help you so we got kind of a weird phone call do you know Latricia no no I don't know anybody out here some lady called DCFS and what and kind of made some claims that you had a child that accidentally shot themselves absolutely not it sounds crazy to me too that's what I am so sorry about this my ex-husband his new girlfriend this broad is off the chain I have went down to Rock Island and Fil A police report on her I have went and put a restraining order on her what's her name uh her name is Tony this girl is never in she has so many different Facebook pages she stalked me from she has made up different names call me from different numbers I have changed my number try to do everything I can right unfortunately I can never seem to get them served because they're always bouncing around in the Chicago area oh okay they're not even down here though they're not even out here so far the woman's story seems plausible and the officer on scene seems a bit apologetic to even be out there the claims that have been made about the child seem so extreme that they're hard to believe and Staples seems calm and Collective I work at genesis hospital I'm a patient care Tech I'm a student at Eastern IA Community College I have a business in Davenport this girl has made threats towards me on Facebook posting her gun up saying that she's going to come to my Addie it's just never ending they made some allegation that you had a son and he shot himself and he's in your come on now you think look where I live I no I get it just so I can check the box off look in your basement real quick and I'll get out of no you need a search horn to do that I'm sorry I'm not about to have my rights violated because someone makes uranous aggregations like this I know like I said it sounded crazy to me too I'm just up here seeing if you know we have to investigate it no no matter how crazy you want to do that I would suggest you go through the proper protocols I'm not about to let some crazy woman who has now has my husband make uranous accusations like this and have my rights violated doesn't no I get it that is not okay I have four girls in here that's what I'm just asking I'm not four children I'm not trying to blame anything on you I'm not saying this is true I'm just I was just asking okay this is nuts that's all it is the officer's just doing his job here because like he says an accusation like that must be taken seriously Staples claims to be the victim but all criminals do when confronted with their wrongdoing she tells the cops to come back with a search warrant so that's exactly what they do the following day hello yes Sushi can you come out what's going on well just step on out I'll explain everything wait a minute my C's in here okay I understand that but we have a search warrant for the house for cooperation to be up front with us oh on step on out step out the house do you all have a search War for the whole house the whole house you need to step out I'm going to open the door well we'll I'll walk in casually we're not going to tear up your house or anything so calm down my kids are in here please how many four where at in the house they're upstairs I just made them go upstairs I don't want to scare my kids can we just can we just calm down offic going walk in there with you and I got to copy the right here for you H can I see the warrant please and I can call my lawyer unfortunately for sushi calling her lawyer is not going to help given that the cops have warrant and if she's got nothing to hide like she says she shouldn't be this worried about the cops looking around her house either it's not like they could plant her lifeless son's body in her house to framer the reason we're here okay is cuz investigating a call that we we had okay officers came out and talked to you last night correct yes okay we have to handle that real seriously okay cuz the allegations are that you have a son and that he's deceased and he's here in this house that's where we're at right now do you have a son named Zion no I don't you've never had a son named Zion no are you claiming benefits for a kid named Zion no I haven't gotten any benefits for anyone I just recently went through a situation where a young lady stole my identity and she falsely filed my taxes and my informations and stuff like that and I've been working with the FBI I've been working with the IRS there been a lot of things popping up she ought to know that officers can easily check this stuff if what she's saying is true there'd be a record of it and the officers would have seen that when they applied for the warrant at this point she just can't help digging herself a deeper hole one of the calls from 2021 DCFS came out to your residence in Chicago and there was a Zion Staples there we had kids in the neighborhood come over some of those kids that were implicated were not in fact our children they were there say there was a kid in your apartment that was not your your kid named Zion I didn't say his name was no benefits being put in his name that you're receiving from I haven't received any benefits and then also involved in this I haven't received any benefits that's what I'm telling you someone has stolen my identity I have proof of that if you go in my phone you'll be able to see the messages between men the FBI agent and Milwaukee are we going to find anything in your house that has Zion's name on it birth certificate social security card or anything like that nope somewhere here we need to get the bottom of this Zion this Zion thing and this is coming from other this is coming from other people this is getting people call and make allegations against me people do this every day out of spite and I possibly had some visitors it was it was probably the summertime where would they get the name Zion Staples Zion Staples I don't know people up all the time just like she can't explain where they got the name Zion from so she also can't explain why so many different people are out to get her something that doesn't happen to normal people people like so many other dumb criminals it looks like sushi has a persecution complex so if this is what's going on if you have a cousin a sister a brother-in-law a friend or whatever claiming kids or you're claiming them on the app and you guys are splitting some extra money I get that the biggest concern that we have here is that we need to make sure that this kid is safe and in that and in the time since the officer was here last night and the time that an officer had called you back in June that we can say nope she's totally clear there's nobody's sto and arrest birate what is that first for Zion Staples Zion Staples that's not mine Sushi Staples we need to get this figured out stop this lying it's over where is that kid now the cops have finally brought out strong evidence and she's confronted with the fact that she's indeed the mother of a child named Zan Staples Sushi goes silent for a while as a result while it looks like a Checkmate there's still a bit of uncertainty will she start telling the truth or will Sushi come up with a really good lie I needed some extra help okay what do you mean by that I had a person that makes documents it was just really hard like is Zion a real person no I can't call a lawyer and let them know you are here I can't call a lawyer to come here to my house while I'm being questioned by you if you want an attorney right now we'll just be done we'll be done all right but the investigation continues okay some turn around for me oh no no no I'm going to jail what am I going to jail for what have I done you just admitted a fraud so now you're going to Railroad me on fraud railroad you what we're trying to figure out where your kid is you're saying that he doesn't exist we'll cuffy in front Okay this is embarrassing can I I can get in the car do you got to take my dignity away and put me in C we're we're not going to we're not going to put him behind you okay we can we're going to watch you to the car real quick and then we'll get you out of here okay after Sushi was taken away the cops gave the house a thorough surge they were looking for evidence of Zion's existence or his alleged death that search eventually LED them to the property's garage if you're wondering why the officer walked out of the garage after looking in the trash can that's because he' just seen the body of 10-year-old Zion Staples inside it he was found to have died 7 months prior to this Susi was charged with obstruction of justice concealment of death and felony charges of failure to report the death of a child under 13 she was later sentenced to 2 years in prison for endangering the life of a child the cases we've looked at today highlight a universal truth that law enforcement officers are well aware of when dumb criminals try to cover up their crimes they rarely get away with it we'll see you next time when we unravel our next hidden file
