ma'am stop taking items out of the bag it's kind of a dumb move right [Music] stop I don't no I'm not stopping no stop before we ask you some questions I'm just going to read you your Miranda Rights okay yes I've been in trouble before here we tend to think of grandparents as sweet innocent Souls who can do no wrong however some L people use this perception to their advantage and somehow think they can commit crimes without consequence it's always surprising and a bit ridiculous when dumb grandparents get caught stealing have a seat have a seat take please I'm not going to say please to you you disrespected Us by trying to resist arrest okay on the 17th of December 2023 wico Foods alerted police about potential shoplifters who were concealing items all across the store the suspects in question shockingly are a grandmother and her granddaughter she is where oh she wearing black yes so she had a box in her Hood in either she just picked it up to conceal in her pants right now but then she has something else in her bag but Grandma now no yeah they've been concealing together I don't know why they're separating all of a sudden and there's another female a smaller female for sure so would you you want the items back obviously oh hell yeah then you want them trespass oh almost de okay so I can show you real quick that way here we go there's Grandma cuz they haven't passed points of sale yet um let me what what aisle is this right here this is frozen this is all right I'm let's go make contact and then uh you can chill here okay so she has she has something in her bag and then again she has a yellow box I don't know what it is it's house and Beauty cuz it's just me right now okay she has on her but Grandma has a ton of stuff in her person on top of okay all right cool I'll try to bring it back over here hey thank you y officers are not used to confronting grandmothers and grandchildren for committing crimes at the same time the cops are legally bound to not discriminate when it comes to who they spot disobeying the law as he soon finds out they're not much different than the average Criminal ladies how you doing today okay hey uh let's go ahead and bring all this we're going to go down to the lp office we're going to go have a little chat okay cool we're going to have a chat why yeah so right now um you're you're most likely concealing items right now that were shoplifted so let's just go have a talk down at the lp office so we don't have to make a talk out here okay okay but I think you're mistaken okay well if I am then I am so let's go have a talk so go ahead and just follow me about all my frozen food uh if hey if it's a mistake we'll we'll we'll get some new ones okay go right go right go right ma'am stop taking items out of the bag it's kind of a dumb move right we're going to go straight to customer service because it's a family shoplifting there's a big chance that their reason for shopping uplifting is because of financial hardship however the law is still the law and there are plenty of places like Charities and food banks that they could have reached out to instead typically thieves of this nature are compliant and immediately regret their decisions which cannot be said for this grandmother are you Grandma ma' what what's your name just go ahead and put your hand down your back for a second why ma'am put your hands behind your back why cuz you're being detained for shoplifting that's why no I'm not no I'm not right now no I'm not rela relax let go the purse relax go the purse get it let go of the purse stop fighting with us do it male officers can be instinctively cautious when apprehending elderly women so it's actually the female officer who puts her foot down when grandma gets arrested her behavior is typical for a guilty Thief but anything but typical of a grandmother you're being detained I got you you're saying some dumb you're saying dumb listen you have three officers and you're fighting you're hurting my arm well you're resisting against us BR back bring it back now or I'm going to throw you on the ground what an idiot move goad and turn around I have another young one here I need to know where she's at a second grandchild is also in the supermarket but doesn't appear to have stolen anything however she could have also been used as a distraction nonetheless her situation of being completely alone in the supermarket is now a grave concern to the officers Grandma meanwhile seems less than eager to cooperate and get things over with so I'm going to read you something right now you have the right to remain silent anything you say it can't be used against you in the court of law you have the right to the presence of an attorney to assist you prior to questioning and I be with you during questioning if you so desire if you cannot afford an attorney you have the right to have an attorney appointment for you prior to questioning do you understand these rights you understand these rights take it as a no how old are you 16 okay 16 I'll get you tomorrow okay yeah this is how you set an example for this young lady have a seat have a seat say please I'm not going to say please to you you disrespected Us by trying to resist arrest okay the grandchild being detained is only 16 years old being a minor her face cannot be shown on camera and as a child she can expect much more lenient charges the grandmother could also face charges known as delinquency of a minor which is when an adult Bears some responsibility for crimes committed by a child when placed in handcuffs another dramatic turn occur sorry it's not personal it's just used she took alcohol I did not know that was right next to you I did not know that though I was stopping through the store myself trying to get groceries but whoever this is your grandmother right for having that stuff in my purse she just kind of ramped things up for a second okay I'm just trying to get story here like alcohol or anything she was I wasn't aware of it she was right behind you when I wasn't aware of it I didn't see her going in circles just just real quick is there any way we canpar the Dr here with her back to the cameras yeah I can turn you can separate okay just clearly like speak with her cuz it's she Grandma's talking she's talking yeah we're okay a grand daughter she she has a disability really get freaked out an officer with with her right now and she's fine that first chair is fine okay just cuz we have so much talking now yeah I don't I had no clue shoplifting especially her age is already bad but using her granddaughter as an accomplice when shoplifting seems like an all-time low her behavior however is about to sink even lower I don't know how that got in there I was going to the store shopping I have a card full of food to buy okay and they came up to me and said that we had to come in here because there was the possibility of some shoplifting going on I didn't know I was walking to the store looking stuff and everything and some points I walked away from my purse look at your cameras I don't know how it got in there okay and was your purse in the little seat area the whole time or it in the little seat area yes okay how long would you say that you lost visual of your purse your whole time I don't know I I was looking at stuff trying to see check prices and and and figure out what I was going to get and probably at some points it might have been for a little while but well best was there by my purse so I I don't know okay okay I mean technically it's dumb stuff except for what she was doing I had no clue she was steing alcohol I don't even know what that is like I said I don't drink okay did you see her at any point up in her first I did not the granddaughter is unaware that grandma has just blamed all the crimes on her however the particular item she's stolen possibly implicate her in another crime while waiting for her parents to arrive they continue the questioning you have a middle name that and Buzz ball the buzz ball yeah okay no but do you have a middle name or no Jane what is that like a alcohol drink legal first name why you stealing alcohol 3 16 SP for me r m i it's okay relax do you have anything else on you right now you do do that's from the store after the granddaughter admitted that they were both intentionally shoplifting this grandmother granddaughter Duo was transported to the station meanwhile the other grandchild waited to be picked up by her parents who eventually arrived on scene know you guys called me you said my daughter was stealing was my mom being arrested because my daughter Wasing her she actually was concealing in a purse as well so it it was separate events at the same time if that makes sense so she had stuff in her purse and then there were stuff in another purse there there there is surveillance of her concealing as well she admitted to concealing okay I sometimes when I personally me I'm not trying to make excuses for anybody else sometimes when I don't have a cart in my hands I'll put stuff in my own bag but I'll pay for it when I get to the counter yeah know she she said she was shop looking and um obviously you can extrapolate from that with Grandma obviously I can't talk about that but you can kind of take it from your your imagination about it um but so what's going to happen tonight is that she's going to be taking uh taking to Durango which is downtown um hopefully she'll learn a lesson from that talking about my daughter yes so here's a deal room even if she was doing what you're saying which is not too consistent with the norm the average citizen I'm just saying I have personally done that right but when you walk past all points of sale oh okay this could have been a miscommunication amongst the officers as the suspects did not move past the point of sail when speaking to the mother she has no idea whatsoever about the possible motives the suspects had for shoplifting she also had some alcohol with her she had a was yeah that was in her purse I don't know what her intentions were with that I mean I'll let you decide that as a mother and how you want to go about discipline if you're going to discipline that's all how you want to go about it but that's what we found okay but yeah there however you want to par so that's all she was taking was alcohol what else did and there was some there was some candy she said that was for grandpa but I I here's the thing she she's with she's with Grandma yeah and obviously it's allowed Behavior because again you can kind of go from there about what was going on with Grandma but I mean that this is this is something that I'm sure you know your mother better than anyone I do and I don't know why my mom would do that that's the thing like she has her social security she lives with me and she doesn't have to pay any of the bills there I mean she buys food and stuff on her social security to help out but I mean I make plenty of money to pay all the bills there the grandmother and granddaughter were both charged with shoplifting and the grandmother was also charged with resisting arrest but compared to our next case the push back she gave police is completely minuscule on March 24th 2023 in a Walmart in petow Florida the loss prevention team recognized Wayne Roberts a 65-year-old frequent shoplifter who should know better better they immediately report it to 9911 as expected he takes his items outside without paying for them what's less expected is that a man in his mid-60s thinks he can outrun the entire police force he oh don't run don't run want to you're going to get t stop running right there told you not to run turn around turn around put your right self check out T your put your hands behind your back you need to take again put your hands behind your back put your hands behind your back put your hand behind back now oh damn didn't work out too good for you today did it now in handcuffs an experienced shoplifter like Roberts knows that claiming excessive use of force from police might help invalidate his arrest despite sprinting seconds earlier he now desperately claims that he's a fragile old man we're going to get up on three okay 1 two three go oh you get your hand that St look at your head oh Lord last time you got away oh there it is right next to each other where you going going let's talking about made me run man you made me run that was athletic man I jumped I jumped over two uh two two you many elderly people engage in the act of compulsive shoplifting a psychological issue where they're motivated by the supposed thrill of shoplifting however most compulsive shoplifters take inexpensive items but Roberts here was attempting to steal roughly $500 worth of seafood this huge amount of food suggests that he's either in financial hardship or is a professional shoplifter looking to unload this stock elsewhere all right man it's going to hurt so bath [Music] BET next time you want to run you think about doing this again hold up hold up don't move thick shirt on don't help you at all one wasn't even really in wait don't turn don't turn and you didn't even get the full ride I don't have to take oh that's a taser stop turning man let him pick it upera little too late take a seat the use of self-service checkouts and covid masks sometimes makes shoplifting more challenging to detect to mitigate the problem stores like Walmart have extensive surveillance even to the extent that their cameras can zoom in and out when Roberts is taken to the surveillance room his pleas of Innocence are really being scrutinized it wasn't him it was it's all big mistake oh he he said it wasn't your mustache 528 $528 can I6 ta I guess no I jumped over see there's like subway right there what are you tring to roll bro you we hit him at the same time Roberts has then shown the surveillance footage and the cops hope that when faced with undeniable evidence he'll confess and this will speed up the resolution of the case Roberts however seems to genuinely believe that he can deny the undeniable and get away Scott free I don't wonder why yall jump me like that you running from the police I I must see you the police these uniforms don't why y why y'all calling me a l everything I say I don't on camera well I don't I don't remember seeing you as a police I just I just ran from you sir cuz you scared me that's it well I mean it also helps that I yelled stop police can you can you uh record or say that I hear I don't think you said that what you and I go to store you're a liar show me show me where I put some stuff on and where I stole some stuff at guess what they're going to press charges against you too show me where I put we don't have their cameras show me where I put stuff in the back that that's not you come on man that ain't him oh that ain't him either not him either with the same mask same shirts show me at this point the whole room seemed to be amused by everything because they're certain that Roberts can't get away with this but that didn't stop Roberts from employing one last trick to distract and derail the conversation when confronted with multiple pieces of evidence he then asked one officer this incredibly strange question just own up to it where did that come from are you hitting on me no not at all all right so stop talking cuz you you they talking to me you asked me a question that's a question I didn't ask you were gay I asked you a question was that a proposition is that it's it's on that's a crime for actually are you gay you you so I say are you gay are you homophobic no what does it matter I just wondering if I was gay you're still a thief yes we we are who we is ex so I'm glad you admitted to it you you are you gay doesn't matter huh but I'm not a thief you gay or a liar or thank you are you a gay what does it matter it doesn't matter the way you talking I don't really does that matter if I am does that matter it doesn't matter who person is this now having wasted a considerable amount of police time on this question Roberts was charged with felony petty theft in the second degree and obstructing an officer while petty theft is usually a misdemeanor it can be charged as a felony in the state of Florida if the theft is greater than $300 and the suspect has previous charges both of which apply to Roberts and that can mean a much harsher penalty Roberts was was also ordered to attend a mandatory retail theft class on September 1st 2023 police were alerted to this known shoplifter operating in this racetrack convenience store as the officer approaches the suspect she realizes that escorting this elderly woman off the premises is going to be anything but straightforward why she went out the door when had toest the St she was was feeling she was trespassed already no oh you want her Tres yes ma'am hello let me talk to you over here ma'am let me talk to you going no you're not let's we're going to talk over here cuz they don't want you in the store I don't want to be in the store listen robbed over here or are you going in cuffs I'm going in what they don't want you in the store you're being trespassed so let's go over here and talk cuz if I got to tell you again I'm going to take you to jail for trespassing come here stop don't play with me I said stop I'm I'm on my own I'm independent no no no no no that's not how it works when I tell you to stop stop I'm stopping they don't want you in the store stop talking they don't want you on the property the woman's outraged at being accused of stealing but rather suspiciously she seems incredibly unwilling to cooperate and prove her innocence and the more they officer tries to take control of the situation the more she refuses to back down so I'm going to trespass you now I can give you a paper and allow you to leave or I can put you in the back of my car and take you to jail Tres it's your choice trespass so we're going to my car you understand I haven't done anything you're all making hello I have one what's WR let's go over here let's go hey don't make me tell you anything wrong we're going to my car let's go let's go stop do you want me to embarrass you in front of you no I'm not being embarrassed all do is inoc no You're Not Innocent I am because the manager stated that you was stealing out the store no I wasn't stealing out the store well that's what she said and I'm here do you have any type of ID on you yes of course I have ID me have your ID so you

myid that's what I thought let's go when apprehending a suspect police are expected to use necessary and reasonable Force however because this suspect is behaving incredibly unreasonably the officers left with no other options let's go all right turn around going to take you to ja turn around put your hands behind your back I'm not doing anything WR so godamn mean do you want me to tase you no all right turn over what my start M unit turn off you know what no actually you know what you know what turn over now ow turn over oh my God turn over and put your hands behind your back I'm not here to

choice we're going to be out here all day 10 four we're going to be be out here all day lay on your stomach lay on your stomach turn over cuz I could be out here all day with you tasing someone this many times does present some safety issues especially for an elderly person there's a risk that she could have cardiac issues which could be exacerbated by repeated tasing the officer's compelled to strike a delicate balance of showing force and Authority but not going too far go ahead and start medic this phone sit up set for just confirming you in front of the business I'm on the northwest side of business get up get up get up put your legs up under you and stand up let's go [Music] all right that's fine you know exactly how much she are y'all Prosecuting about the stealing or y'all just want her off a I want her trespass it okay and gone like I don't want how to retire okay the woman's abnormal levels of aggression could indicate that she has an addiction of of some kind another less obvious indicator is how she's completely unfaced about resisting arrest as if she has nothing to lose as this situation progresses the body cam footage has been blurred but the audio is still clear have a seat have a seat you're mean you're a denominate bad person off get off me you're a bad person you're bad okay you're a bad person for scking like that stop kicking I'm not kicking get off me what is your problem you stop kicking yeah stop kicking have a SE stay still God you're a bad person what is wrong with you you tell me what what happened [Music] get me out of here what what did you do to make her caught nothing they wer me why were you fighting the officer not fighting they fight as the officer continues to question her he finally gets to the root of her problem and it's a problem the officers might have suspected this whole time they F then they didn't they ask you to leave what are you SN for you about anything pay attention to what I'm saying okay didn't they officer ask you not to go on the racetrack I actually I don't care anymore you know could you please get these goddamn off my as long as you cooperate we'll we'll we'll do whatever you need as long as you cooperate if you don't cooperate then you get a pair of jewelry all right so why why did you resist why why did you resist that off Haven resisted I don't care anymore oh I understand that but get me out of here you godam okay you have any injuries besides the taser let me go is that where you got tased in the right thigh everywhere well I know I know it affects everywhere but where I need to I need to get no I I need numing and I need to drink and I need okay I'll get you some water but you got I don't need water oh you need a drink drink this woman suffers from alcoholism and could be addicted to other narcotics too this explains her aggression and her impulse to steal items but it does not excuse them and the fact that she's slurring her words despite not having had a drink yet suggests that her alcohol problems are longterm and have started affecting her brain so is that the only place you got Tas in the right thigh doesn't matter anymore no it does matter you know bothered this kid [Music] and I need a drink yes so you have no reason of why you were fighting a officer there's no reason you just didn't want to cooperate get my belongings we got them they bringing them over here to you right now thank you okay no problem so why why would you cooperate with y'all sir no it's not her job to cooperate with you all right so you don't want to answer any questions you're good he's hi your thigh all right the woman was charged with trespassing and her inability to cooperate brought upon extra charges such as battery on an officer and obstruction both of which made things much worse than her initial charge at the Georgia Square Mall in Athens Georgia police were alerted to a possible shoplifter suspicion soon turned to certainty as without warning the suspect made a run for it [Music] stop I don't no I'm not stopping sir no no I'm not stopping sir I didn't do anything yes you did no I didn't stop no stop you stop get your hands off of me sir no I didn't do anything sir I didn't do anything you going to get Tes no I didn't do anything sir stop touching me stop front of the food court give 100 the no stop you stop you're going to get T why are you doing this because you shop Li I didn't I told you stop I swear I did it ma'am I did it do not stop I swear I did it I swear sir turn around I did it I told you to stop that is not true this officer's been placed in a difficult situation while trying to apprehend the elderly female suspect what makes things even worse is that the suspect seem to be aware of this hesitation and seeks to shamelessly exploit his good nature please I'm going give you count noop sir no I'm going home stop okay you're going to get tased Okay Okay Okay no Okay get out here okay get out here please don't do this stop just let me sit down for a minute please let me sit down for a minute sir stop no no nope no you uh-uh stop uh-uh Mister stop you've got to stop stop okay okay I'm stopping here here here Mr here here here stop here sir I her she her turn around okay okay okay okay okay okay sir back get back sorry I'm sorry do not move I'm not the car St to go I do nothing I swear you don't run from a policeman try and get in the car with him no sir it looks like the officer might have let his guard down a bit because her calculating tactics almost worked he did do a good job to stop her from running away however she's far from finished with her manipulation in fact it's only just beginning I'm sorry myology well you're going to go to jail now I know I'm sir for obstruction oh no please just the car move yes ma'am all right I need to double lock those turn around turn around okay where's your shoe at out of it where's your ID at no where's is yeah your purse is full sto stuff yes so yeah I am God I'm so embarrassed I am so sorry I am so embarrassed where's your car my car's on the other side from the security office huh you going to have somebody else transport or you transp yes somebody else transport school I'm so sorry the officer's also highly concerned about the true extent of these crimes he now has to pinpoint how long she's been active in perpetrating these crimes and whether she's acting alone or part of a wider Network another officer working on scene discovers another twist in the tail I didn't see her she said there was two she Point uh Mall security pointed her out the uh the store okay go in there and find out yeah have them come out here and ID both of these okay so you you can ID both of these yeah both of them okay all right sh yep both of them okay so um my name is off I just have knowand hey you want to come IDE the stuff that's yours this thief in fact has an accomplice so chances are she's not a compulsive thief and this crime was premeditated what's even more ridiculous is that her accomplice is also another old lady as the cops talk to one of the store clerks they learn even more about their illegal operations grab the bag from the which car we need Li access I don't have her information yet I well it's in the call but I can get it later already got her hand I got I got her information in call and I'll give that to you guys okay allowed open the no wait till Asen gets back and you can do it when Asen gets back you know what I've been trying to catch them for about 3 months oh really yeah you seen before oh yeah they as soon as as soon as she turned around she saw me started running oh yeah this I saw you take off I to keep up looks like the second suspect did not resist arrest so she might not be in as much trouble as the first suspect however the second suspect could be charged with organized retail theft where she's not only charged for her own actions but also the actions of the criminal group as a whole after speaking to her once more the officer then makes his decision so at this point you're going to go to okay okay I mean I can pay for the stuff I got oh it's a little we're past that point okay can I call my husband because my son when you get to jail you can you can make a phone call what's your last name m mollin yeah I mean 77 Central I just need to let him know where I'm going can I get a criminal history on my son get a pH well it's going to be a minute okay you can call just tell them you know where I'm going do you know if I get a v tonight I don't know we're we'll figure that out here in a minute okay yes ma'am can you please call my husband and tell him where I'm going so he can get my son from work in the bag and my car does not lock I need my key I don't want to come back and not have a car the officer still has to determine the full value of the item stolen as this will be the determining Factor whether their crimes are considered misdemeanors or felonies after searching the main shoplifter vehicle for possible stolen items the cop returns to the woman this time around she explains why she was so desperate to escape I can tell you I mean that's probably why remember I'm so ter I mean why you just sto I knew I was going to go to jail for a long time that's that's all honest it's shoplifting I know and it's that's all I've ever done in the how many times have have you been caught shoplifting and charged five five five convictions iwear the only I've ever done but I don't mind the Devil's Playground I should have never even been here it's like you're playing Russian roulette with yourself yeah okay the five convictions mean that her charges have just become much more severe this admission also calls into to question her guilt as this is a crime she's been convicted of several times and there's also a possibility that she was able to get away with theft a few times however there's shockingly more to her criminal history you know what what what all you doing so she's saying that she has like five prior convictions so double check her criminal history I looked at it there's like 19 cycles and there's a lot of shop looking charges however not all are convictions so you want to double check that real quick make sure it meets the statutory requirement for felony shoplifting we can do felony shoplifting either way she's she's got felony yeah so she was like grabbing her wrist and stuff right yeah I I would say that's offering violence in an attempt to resist arrest so there the only reason she stopped She was trying to drive off with me in the car so oh was she really yeah so the only reason she stopped is cuz when you pulled up all you guys pulled up with her background and her attempt to flee officers had no doubt that she was a criminal the suspect was taken to jail and her already long criminal history became even longer with the new charges he received on the 30th of March 2023 police were called to a Walmart in Lac cruus New Mexico where a suspected shoplifter was operating the Lost prevention team tried to explain her strange Behavior to officers but as they looked at her on the cameras something much more disturbing occurred so she's paid for a few items like hbi items in this bag few in this bag and maybe some stuff in these two bags are those her bags or those walm the selection the bags they look new but there is a lot of trash and garbage in the bottom the blue duffel bag is where it was empty and then she's oh can I get maintenance to electronics for a spill please she spill she might let me get some you got some let me get maintenance over there before somebody fall this woman was known to police possibly because of her previous conviction of a $2,000 embezzlement embezzlement typically refers to people who have stolen from their workplace having spent 4 hours in this Walmart she then exits through the garden center and into the parking lot hoping to sneak out unnoticed but the cops were able to find her before she could drive away no come here for me come here for me CU they're saying you took items without paying we'll get figure it out no I paid for everything we'll figure it out relax why are you put you in cuts for now to get you back to the office all right cuz they're saying you didn't pay for some of the items I paid for it okay stop moving please turn around so why are you handcuffing me because you're being detained why because you took stuff without me I didn't take anything okay we'll get it figured out if you did you did you got the [Music] receipts why am I being detained because you have items you did not pay for I I why am I stop relax I already explained it to you stop asking me the same question I have money I don't know why I'm being detained because there's some items here in paper do that the shoplifter Behavior particularly the trash bags and the public urination suggest that this woman is mentally unwell however given her previous conviction for embezzlement of $20,000 this could well be the behavior of a professional crook when cops take the woman to the surveillance room they try to get a fuller picture of the motives behind her outrageous behavior I have money it's just that my girlfriend she call me she's somewhere she just called me and so that's why I was in a I'm not trying not I don't want no problems I'm not trying trying to steal or nothing you have yes there this this is the bag oh on this receip there's a few items that you did pay for a wall unit and a you setting it aside in shopping cart right there you got a lot of stuff in there [Music] this is garage [Music] whatever myfriend the woman maintains her innocence and at the moment the cops still don't know exactly how many unpaid items are in her shopping cart also we can't tell if she's lying because there are no immediate telltale signs from her body language so it's only through looking through her shopping cart that the true extent of her crime will be revealed go through these bags put nothing here that's going to there shouldn't be I don't think that's going toke me I know the pass the and Tres have money I'll pay for it so like I said you pass the fin okay I got no register out there so what's going to happen is I'm going to get the rest of the stuff that's not paid for we get a total and I can just pay for it no that's not an option now why not because you had the opportunity you wanted to play around and act like you didn't do anything wrong and then you admitted that you took stuff without paying for it when I was bringing you back over here but I wasn't trying my girlfriend's waiting for me that's the only reason why I was trying to be in a hurry to get out there I I can pay I'll want to pay whatever you're going to get cited for the shoplifting and the trespassing if that's all it is oh okay so I'll just be SED the security guard has quietly hinted at just how serious her theft might be since everything's been recovered the store might not

be stealing clothes for her grandkids on the 21st of February 2024 police were alerted to a suspected shoplifter in the department store Dillards rather damningly this suspected shoplifter after

I didn't take nothing don't make me use Force okay I put my phone in my poet nope put your hands behind your back I put my phone in my poket hands behind your back let me put my phone in my car the officer's initial impression is that this woman is in a sound enough state of mind and there are no signs of mental illness or addiction once she's brought to a back room she continues to plead innocence to the extent that she makes things worse for herself grandom that's not mine that's not mine man on my kids that's not mine I swear to God that's not mine all right you have the right man

you understand your rights yes sir I do the woman's main trick is to establish your as the victim and also that the cops are treating her unfairly however if anything the exact opposite turns out to be the case I can't give you your phone I'm saying I be in charge you say I would be in charge with right now like not run in now they're not made for Comfort but the way he put them on they're still pretty loose so they are that's how they fit I they saying I'm getting charge right CH I didn't have that I have no idea what he's doing or what he's talking about I'm just here because he called for us what he was saying he just called for us to come can I just for get my mama please oh no ma'am not yet now while you're in our custody while you're in your custody you have to wait and see what the officer is going to instruct you to do um I'm saying I'm just be honest with me I'm being arrested I'm not the primary officer I don't know what he plan to do I don't know know what's going on um I'm just here to assist him I don't know what the business wants do I don't know what he's going to do I'm just here assisting him that's why I'm at the computer right now typing this while he conducts his investigation that's all I'm doing while she might have been stealing to get close for her granddaughter Dillards is a mid to high-range department store meaning that it's also possible that she's hoping to resell these clothes at discounted prices and for a supposedly innocent Shopper this woman seems to know an awful lot about staff protocol when dealing with thieves thank you be Hest I did I did get the stuff but I never took it I walked downstairs no that's not me they're not going to put that on me I'm going get all that stuff I had a Twitter I know this was part of it I didn't have that stuff right there now you I can't even talk all um if I interrupt him that interrupts his investigation which is it's not fail though how yall going to char me with that I not have all of that I put the dresses in the thing I don't know I don't want to know I'm just here assistant like I say okay all right can I get a chance to talk I you [Music] talk I'm being honest I've got uh re running it through clear uh neither one came up in NCC GCC neither one of her names that she gave I could be honest with you talk that would probably be the best option for you to be honest with me the suspect continues to plead her innocence claiming to know her rights and maintaining she was not in the wrong her excessive panicking suggests that should criminal charges be pressed she's got a lot to lose the officers realize that This Woman's going to be an incredibly difficult suspect so they respond accordingly chance you ask how bad that looks yeah if you're you didn't take anything if you didn't made out store anything by right right I seen you so I ran CU I fig if I L I'm being honest when I walk do and I seen you you had not slow down you gave me eye contact I said oh he probably about to tell me to turn back around I swear to God I'm I ran but when you see me I didn't have nothing I know my rights I left for in the store I never came out the store with anything and I didn't have all that no hats and all that being honest okay what's your name Shante M Shante do you um understand how the state of Georgia the Cod section for shoplifting is when you go into a store and you don't even have to fully leave the store with the merchandise only thing you have to do is actively conceal merchandise which we have you on camera doing yeah I got you on camera we got you on camera I heard call C and I had under a little thing over no let me finish we got you on camera making a selection for those three items right there and concealing and concealing them under your left side up underneath that that sweat you got on I did and then and when she I guess it was her I don't know who it was y'all made a cold on the anacon right or wrong be honest and that's when I threw under the little thing I never made it out the store with it but I was wrong for taking it why not justay can I a little too late for that now staff from the Department Store have been brought in to make her permanent Banning from the store official despite the evidence being stacked against her she still continues to play the victim as an agent of Dillers I hereby revoke your invitation to dealers you are requested to leave the Dealer's premises immediately and you are no longer permitted to enter the premises of any dealers in the United States the fact that you may receive advertisements or via dealer's credit card holder does not give you the invitation to come back to D you are considered a trespasser until you receive a written notice revoking your status as a trespasser if you believe this trespass notice was given an error or if you wish to request that the trespass notice be revoked please contact dealers legal department 1600 crail Road Little Rock Arkansas okay ma'am and what's your name I got a question I ask a question what's your name excuse me can I ask a question sure what's your date of birth can I just give one more chance while she was pleading with Dillard's staff and later with the officer who was interviewing her she was actually doing something behind their backs or to be more precise behind her back have you ever been arrested before it's not [ __ ] up I'm asking you he says it's do you not have any form of identification on you I told you no I came in here like there I don't I'm being honest no do you have a Georgia idea at all yes you know way she could just bang me please I'm might to lose my job everything anyway she could just ban me please you could talk to her no can I please call my mom pleas we Willow I never the what's your middle name ma' I never left the store all right so you've been made aware of what's going on okay but I never left the store with the stuff how I'm being locked up so shoplifting is concealing so did you conceal yeah but I SP that okay go ahead and stand up for me I'm going to search you you got anything on you what is this what are you doing you trying to get out of your handcuffs it was too tight it was too tight if it was too tight if it was too tight how'd you get out of it she was charged with shoplifting and should she ever return to a Dillard's department store again we'll face further trespassing charges our next case is perhaps one of the oldest criminals to ever appear on police body cam footage at Target in Florida police were alerted about a suspected shoplifter when waiting for her to leave the store police had no concerns about her running away as this woman was a staggering 80 years old [Music] [Music] can I have your purse please this is it I didn't know what it was I wanted to be sure and I paid for it here to rece we going to ask you a few questions okay but before we do I'm just going to read you your Miranda Right all right I'm sorry before we ask you some questions I'm just going to read you Miranda rights okay yes I've been in trouble before with you after her Miranda rights are read she does agree to talk to the cops however that might put the woman in a tight spot typically the more seasoned criminals will plead the fifth and stay completely silent to not further incriminate themselves while she's not just an innocent grandmother she's not a criminal mastermind either do you understand these rights are you willing to talk to me yes okay so in the past have you been yes here in the past have you been trespassed from this target before yeah okay what were you trespassed for for taking something okay and what brings you back here I did what I had to do when I like shopping here okay were you explain the trespass warning I called and they said it was okay called him whoever is responsible a long time ago when were you trespassed it's been a few years do you have anything on paper that says your trespass has been lifted no any got a documentation approv that the trespass was listed no okay I thought though did you steal anything today say again did you steal anything today no did you open any packages today which one that one yes did you open any other packages and where are the other rings that are in missing that I know unless it's out the mental capacity of the suspect is a potential concern to the officers people in their 80s are much more vulnerable to cognitive issues that could also impact their decision- making so far however there's no sign of any of these issues while she does come across as somewhat confused officers know this could be an act so they continue to question her just to see if she would say something self-incriminating did you take anything from these packages no I just opened that one to be sure of what it was because I wasn't sure and I told her before I paid for okay so we're not going to find the missing earrings in your pockets or your no it's not earrings they're they're stick on things okay but we're not going to find those items in your purse not that I know these are earrings they are I know now I know okay so we're not going to find the missing ones they missing so Joanna what what we're referencing we saw in camera and in person you open these packages and there was multiple times where these items fell on the floor hold on let me where you had to physically bend down to pick them up where are those I probably put it back in there the Dilemma of whether she's confused or whether she's a conscious criminal continues the officer however takes a different approach reminding the woman that she's not welcome in the store in the first place I did put it back in your purse you put it in your purse man and then you did not pay for those items and you walked past the final points of sale out to the parking lot 23rd of 2021 you're issued a trespass warning notifying you that you are no longer welcome on to this property okay do you remember this not that I wasn't welcome here after I I went and did the deputy explain what this is you were issued a piece of paper it looked just like this but it was a pink copy the deputy explained that you're no longer allowed on this property inside and on the parking lot property I had calls okay and just like he was saying earlier do you have any proof as to that you called and you were allowed to come back no I been come in here for a couple of years we have no indication saying that you are welcome back onto this property okay so right now you are currently trespassing according to this trespass War sorry okay not I'm still not welcome here then she plays the sympathy card of course shoplifting can occur during periods of emotional distress but at the same time the officers are fully aware that it's not her first time committing a crime Additionally the fact that she stole jewelry suggests that she's a compulsive thief compulsive thieves often take things they don't necessarily need please don't do this let's they my husband just had a stroke he had I'm sorry you guys have the uh the statement paperwork and the willingness to prosecute paperwork anything like that on the yeah that was on the second of the two instances that was on the phone this that point okay I did not take it intentionally it might have fallen in my purse I put my purse in we located the uh the other earring on the floor do you guys want Pursuit charges on the trespassing on the yeah okay do you guys want to pursue charges on the the one earring that was removed from the box okay all right turned years old my husband is 85 and I'm very yeah I apologize for that I mean we've had children in here as young as 10 years old I know I don't discriminate when it comes to officers try to elicit a confession but once they have proof she's stolen and she continues to deny it the officer simply stops listening to her excuses in one particular moment the officer confronts her about her dishonesty guys they're not they're not going to they're not going to take it out to jail which which car don't want to go to jail please we're not going to go back and forth which carard did you use to pay for the items the off the the Target Card I believe this one yes okay is there a PIN number to go along with that yes let's go do a return and register you can take all come on please don't I no you don't I watch you zoom the when I lean on okay having looked through the items with staff the officers are far from finished with the suspect and bring her back into the security room but this time around they're much less willing to listen to her excuses while processing her charges the officers focus on her actions and not her words I'm not allow to come back no more that's what you you were told in 2021 yes I'm allowed that you're not allowed that even means the parking lot in front of Target as well okay called and spoke to someone here okay but we have no proof to we have no proof to confirm that I didn't know I don't know anything about [Applause] that put handcuffs on you the car that there sadly for her you can still go to jail at 80 years of age that being said life expectancy and health issues are generally factored into the sentencing because it's a misdemeanor and not a felony she's not likely to stay in prison too long but she won't be darkening the doors of this target any anytime soon sadly these examples prove that crime is not merely a Young Person's game but thankfully most police officers are Al to aware of that fact and don't discriminate when it comes to pressing charges if you like this
