Oh [ __ ] >> Appreciate it. >> That is not empty. >> Oh, >> come on. >> What we're seeing isn't isolated theft, but a pattern repeated, normalized, and increasingly severe. >> No. No. Stop. I don't want to be my story. >> When limits are pushed often enough, what stops them from disappearing altogether? On March 24th, 2024, police responded to a store's call about an intentional theft. Staff reported that a woman used a lighter to burn through security tags on multiple items. By the time officers arrived, every choice she made after that came with a clear consequence. >> Good. Good. >> Still here? Yeah, we lost eyes. But >> yeah, right there. Right there. >> Yeah. >> She used the lighter to cut off. >> Yeah. >> Find this item. That would be great. >> Okay. So, she did conceal something >> and she was back. >> Okay. Ma'am, stop. You're not free to leave. >> Okay. Were you burning tags off items? >> No. >> No. Okay. Did you pay for any of the items here? >> Uh, yeah. All my stuff is paid for. >> Okay. Do you have a receipt? >> Uh, yeah. I have a few of them in my Bible. >> Okay, if you can grab the receipt out. >> I got my receipts in my Bible, which is fine, you know. >> That's what I have. >> The receipt for Burlington here? >> Oh, no. No receipts here. >> Did you take anything? >> No. >> Okay. The employee said that you took something. You were burning price tags or security tags off items. What exactly was the item? The It was a handbag and then my associate. >> What's that? >> Okay. >> Nothing. >> You want to tell me? >> Scarf and a handbag. >> Cuz the ticket that I have was a handbag. >> Okay. Do you know where she put Did she put it in the bag? >> Yeah, it should be in her stuff. >> They're saying you have a scarf and a handbag. >> Is it this handbag right here? >> I guess. I don't know. You don't know whose bag is the black bag? >> It's not yours. >> No. Ask her if she had any other. >> Yeah, there's a black handbag. We're still asking about the scarf. She didn't leave the store. So, do you want to press charges for >> attempted theft, which would be kind of hard cuz she hasn't left. But we just trespass. >> Just trespass. >> Get her out of here. >> No, I'm going to go pay for it. >> You're going to go pay for it. >> Okay, ma'am. Here's the deal. You're >> I don't want to pay for it. You have a way to pay for the scarf. >> Yeah. >> Okay. If you want to go pay for the scarf, you need to do that. But you're being trespassed. >> Okay. >> So, you need to either give the scarf back or you can go pay for it if you want to keep it. But you can't come back here. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, I'm going to fill out a piece of paper. You can wait for your copy of the piece of paper or not. But if you come back within the next year, you could be arrested. Okay. >> Oh, okay. Then I'm going to go pay for >> Okay. Go pay for that. And then >> she >> even after being given one last chance to leave calmly, her ego couldn't handle the feeling of being kicked out. She deliberately walked the wrong way back toward the registers, like a twisted way of proving she still had control. That single decision forced officers to step in and follow procedure. >> Hey ma'am, need me to pay for your items and >> I am going to go pay for it. Okay, you're going the wrong way. You got to go that way. >> I'm going where I want to go. >> Okay. Well, you need to pay for your stuff and need to leave. >> Sorry about that. >> I see here >> and she won't give a name. >> She's so weird. >> Oh, now we're out of line. >> Where'd she go? Okay, I'm >> You need to leave. Give me the Mercedes. [ __ ] crazy. >> No. No. No. I don't want to be let go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. PLEASE. I DIDN'T COMPLY. Please stop. Please go. Please. I don't want to go. I'm sorry. >> Stop. Please stop. Don't let me go. Please. Please let me go. >> Stop. Please stop. Please don't arrest me. >> Stop resisting. I don't want to be arrested. Stop. You're going to make this worse for yourself. Please let me go. >> Start cooperating. >> Yeah, I don't want to go to jail. >> I can't. Please stop. I don't want to go to jail. I have my money. Please. Please. Please stop taking my money. I'm sorry. I was short. >> I don't want to custom. >> Yes, you did. And I did comply. Sorry. >> You got in line when you said you were going to and then you got out. >> I didn't. >> You had your chance and now you're under arrest. >> Mom, could you please take me home? >> She's under arrest for assault. >> You don't want to be under arrest. >> Freedom was literally one step away, straight out the door. But she turned toward the road that leads directly to jail. And the moment she didn't get her way, her reaction was loud and obvious, screaming like a child who just had a toy taken away. A toy that was never hers to begin with. >> Hey, what's your first killing you? >> Okay. Well, I need you to relax this process goes. Okay. >> We'll take I Hey, we can't take your soda. You got brave for God's [ __ ] This person cut my son up into [ __ ] pieces. Doing well. It wasn't doing bothering anybody. Now you're not taking that out of my head. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. STOP. GRAND. >> HELLO. >> YEAH, I can hear you. >> No, I can hear you. I'm like, it's >> fine. Just sit down. >> No, you're not fine. >> Okay, get your leg in the car. I'm not going to ask you again. No, I didn't. >> All right, I got to read you something. >> I don't want to read. No, >> too bad. I have to read IT TO YOU. A JUMP RUN. Give her a minute. Do you have any questions as to what's going on? All right. Well, it's not going to be productive at all. >> Just even if she's just screaming at you. >> Anything. >> When nobody was buying her story anymore, she switched tactics, kicking the patrol car door hard. That's when emotions spilled over into pure damage control. Fear turning into destruction. She can cry. She can share a sad story. But fingerprints on unpaid merchandise don't feel bad for anyone. >> Okay. >> I feel sorry for whoever has to take her to jail. >> Huh? >> She's kicking the door. >> What would opening the window do? >> Prevent it from breaking. Julia, if you keep kicking the door and you break anything, you're also going TO BE ARRESTED FOR DESTROYING PROPERTY. DO you understand me, >> Julia? Do you understand me? >> What? >> If you keep kicking the door and you break something, not only are you going to arrest for trespassing, your felony or warrant, you're also getting arrested for property, destruction of city property. >> Oh, but I don't want to break stuff. >> Then stop kicking the door. >> I just want to go back home. >> Okay. Okay. We're not touching you right now. If you keep kicking stuff, we'll have to touch you and put you in what we call. >> Just do me a favor and don't kick our door. Okay. >> Okay. You're going to hurt your voice if you keep yelling like that. >> Are you threatening to hurt my officer? >> No. >> NO.AG WAG'S not going to be happy. >> No. >> Julia. Julia. When you get to the jail, if you act like >> Hey, JULIA. I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED under my marine. >> So tell something happened a long time ago. >> No. >> I'll be transporting you to jail today. >> Do you want to go like that? >> Yeah. >> Or do you want to go wrapped up like a child? >> Honestly, I think we should just grab >> just Yeah, so too. >> She gambled on sympathy, thinking that mentioning a past trauma would make officers hesitate. But the mismatch between what she claimed and how she was acting in real time blew that plan up. Seeing the risk, police shifted their focus to safety and activated the appropriate measures and equipment. >> Do we have the wrap ready? >> Yeah. Where is also put ankle strap on her before we get her out? Probably be easier to get her out that way, too. Give me your feet. >> Give me your feet. >> Please, what are you doing to me? What are you doing to me? What are you doing? Please do me. What are you doing to me? >> Roll her over. We're going to roll you over. >> What's happening now? >> Rolling you over. We're going to have you We're going to help you sit up. Okay. >> What's happening now? What's happening now? unique. >> There you go. >> What is it, boy? >> So, what's the key to >> Julia? This is to keep you safe and to keep us safe. Okay. >> Why? >> What are you doing now? What is it? >> My helmet on YouTube. Your head. >> My hair. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> LINDSAY, I think this side needs to be tighter. Yeah. >> Push it forward and make sure that's tight. >> What does that hurt me for? >> So you don't hurt yourself. >> Oh, I see. Why? >> Yeah, it's it's cushioned. I don't want you to hit your head. >> I don't know. I don't know what this is. >> Okay, >> there you go. No. >> Yeah, that the helmet the cushion is so that it keeps your head safe. >> Oh >> yeah. Okay. >> We didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. >> This way. >> Beat that way. >> I know. We'll help you. Don't worry. There you go. In the end, she was arrested and faced charges including theft, resisting, obstruction, and damage to public property. That Bible in her hands didn't cover the bill. It just sat there and witnessed the downfall of someone who truly believed the rules didn't apply to her. Justice doesn't care what book you're holding. It cares what you did. So, what do you think? Did the officer's patience in this case finally hit its limit? And when one woman gets cut a break, does it make the next situation even harder to save? On September 3rd, 2025 at a Target store, Loss Prevention quietly watched a woman for nearly 45 minutes. When she walked past the checkout with several unpaid cosmetics, police were called. What followed went far beyond a routine retail theft. >> Oh [ __ ] >> Yeah. Come on. Appreciate it. >> Have a seat for us right here. >> Just put these hats on you right now. >> You want to have a seat? Yeah. >> Hang tight for us. We'll talk to you in a little bit. Do you have a driver's license on here? >> Yeah, we could grab it for you. You can have a seat for us. Appreciate it. >> And is it just inside of your purse right here? >> Yeah. >> All right. This you have the right to remain silent and anything you say may be used as evidenced against you. That anytime you wish to stop talking or have an attorney present, all questioning will be stacked stopped at your request. Do you understand these rights? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Do you know why we stopped you? >> You have no idea. >> You know there's cameras all over the store. >> Okay. So, I'm going to ask you that again. Do you know why we stopped you? >> Okay. Is there any cosmetics in your bag that I'm going to find right now when I go through it? >> I mean, I have plenty of cosmetics. >> Nothing. Do you want to talk about it? >> No. Okay, that's fine. All right, let's go through her bag. all this stuff that is from Target. I'm going to let you just stand up while we're here. Just put your hands behind your back for me. All right. Mhm. Appreciate it. You can put your hands like you're praying. That way you'll be a little bit more comfortable. Right. >> You'll be able to make a phone call there. >> Only reason why I say that is because my kids and then my car is out. >> Your kids are in the car? >> Hell no. No. No. My kids are not in the car. >> How old are your kids? How old are your kids? >> 15 and 10. >> Okay. Do you live local? >> Mhm. >> Have your I just need to call him >> just to let him know so he ain't thinking like what's the >> I got you. >> Sitting in the security office, she appeared calm and confident as if everything were still under control. But the real story wasn't in her words. It showed up in digital records and in what officers found silent, precise, and impossible to argue with. cuz she's not sure about the gum. >> The gum. Okay. >> And her receipt for the items she didn't pay. >> Mhm. >> Oh, that's She look at my cart. >> There was something you had on the cart. >> I got that right there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That for Target's database. We have to get your photo. Do you lower the camera? >> I'm not running. Hey, let's She's already being um arrested for whatever the amount is. It just all depends if it's going to be a felony or misdemeanor. So, if you want to keep going through her bag to make sure there's nothing illegal, narcotics, etc., and then we will probably put this stuff in your car, let you get that call. >> So, my fiance can come get my car. >> Um, >> I don't understand why my car would be seized. >> Your car is not seized, but I'm not going to just stand by here with your car keys when you >> don't have to. >> Does he have a spare car key? >> No, I can. All my stuff goes with me to jail. So I know that I once once I get released and he bs me out, then I can just we can just go get my car and I'm going stay on the wife. >> The wife? >> Yeah. >> Must be nice. >> Great. >> Yeah, >> substance. I have a prescription. >> No, I don't have I just take half. >> Okay. Do you have the prescription bottle on you? >> I don't keep all of them. >> Let's figure out what that is because that's probably going to be another charge for a >> Because you got half a pill in a little container, ma'am. >> Yeah, because I don't keep something. I get 112 pills. So, I don't >> Okay, but you got to have your prescription bottle. >> I never knew that cuz I have to do them like I can't swallow pills. >> No, you can't test it. It's that I can't swallow pills. >> So, you snort it. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just crushed up and then I just like a BC powder. Swear. >> Is this >> No, I don't do drugs. >> The moment unidentified pills came into view, that calm fell apart. She could talk like a picture perfect wife all she wanted. But the law doesn't play guessing games with controlled substances. The search continued, turning up nearly $3,000 in cash and an EBT card. >> All the stuff that I use. Well, I mean in the purse. >> Yeah. Do you have anything concealed on you? I'm only asking cuz when you go to the jail, they're going to do a cavity search. I'm not authorized to. And if you have anything in any female area, >> yes. You got all this money you get. You get EBT. You got all that money in your bag when you get food stamps? >> I used to. It's just old. >> Can you put that pill back inside of there for me, please? >> How can I prove that I get a prescription? >> Right now, just have to go through all of that extra. Like, how can I pull up what like a where I get my prescription filled at the medicine shop? I can call them right now and they can talk. >> So, the way I explain it to people, I could have a prescription for marijuana, right? But I can't have now a little ziplockc bag with in it that's not in a prescription bottle to my name with my address that's from a doctor. Somebody could tell me, "Yeah, I have a medical marijuana card." And that's straight. But if I pull you over and you have over 20 grams, which which is a felony in the state of Florida, and it's not packaged the way it should be, I'm going to take that person to jail for felony possession. a prescription about it, if you ain't gonna be able to prove it's my [ __ ] or not. The same way it don't matter. >> The same way people get medical marijuana cards, but they still buy it off the street. Why? Cuz it's cheaper on the street. >> But why even go through getting a prescription and if we can if we can't even carry our stuff and y'all still question it >> because you need to have it in a packaged bottle with your name on it that it's a prescription for you. >> Say even if I had it in a package bottle, you still don't know if I bought it off the street or not. >> That's a different story though. If it was in a packaged bottle and it said 10 pills with that shape, I looked it up. I'm not going to hit you with that cuz it's in the bottle. But now if you have a bottle for ibuprofen, let's just say, and you got in it, well, that >> this wasn't about need. It was about control and the thrill of beating the system. Even with enough money to pay for everything, she still stole $219 worth of merchandise. Cornered, she showed no remorse for the theft itself. Her only concern was her expensive Coach bag and the cash in her car. And you looked in the little black purse. >> Yeah. >> Was there more cash in there? >> I took the cash out. >> Okay. >> I'm pretty sure. Yeah. I took the cash out. Just >> I just put my whole purse in there. >> Your whole purse? >> Yeah. Just like everything. >> Yeah. We're going to take this whole purse with you. Everything already. She went through your purse in the car. You said >> just lock it. >> No. We're going to take your purse with you. >> Why? >> Because there's like $2,300 in there. >> No, no, it's mine. I don't care. I just rather all my stuff be just locked up in my car so I don't have to worry about it. >> Yeah, we're going to take your purse. I'm not I don't want that liability on me if money does go missing. >> I'm not going to put that on you. I'm not going to put that on you. I leave my purse in the car all the time. I have another purse in the car laying in it, too. I leave my purse. It's locked up. Nothing's going to happen. >> Yeah, but now what if >> I'm not I just rather And I know my fiance going to tell me that. He's like, "You should have just left this [ __ ] in your car." So, that's what I'm just saying. I just I just rather just leave all my stuff in my car so when I come it's just less booking stuff that I have to worry about. That's that's going to be a headache. I know I don't want mine to show that's going to be a headache. >> I worked in booking for many years. >> Yeah, that's the more stuff you go to jail with, the more headache. That's why I would just mine. >> We're going to take your purse with your money and we'll put that stuff in the car. You and your money. We're going to give it over to the deputies at booking. Okay. You are gonna we're going to place your stuff in your car for you. When you get to jail, you'll be able to make a phone call. >> Once you make that phone call, then you could do whatever you need to do. >> Mhm. >> Okay. But I mean, I'm trying to I'm I'm I don't get it. I I don't get it. >> I don't I just rather just I like two like those shades like three grand. I just That's why I just rather my stuff be in my car. I know, but we're already past that point that we're not doing that. >> And in the future, if you want to do things your way of stuff, >> then why are we stealing [ __ ] and we got $6,000 in your car? >> $100 worth of items for >> Yeah. You know what I mean? >> Why do we haveite six? >> That's That's not even Why do we eat [ __ ] that's bad for us? It's bad for us. Okay, you guys know >> when's the last time? >> I mean, yeah, on that one I have nothing to rebuttal. >> She worried the police would hold on to her money if she was taken to jail, somehow forgetting that she was there because she'd taken what didn't belong to her. Faced with her bargaining, the officer's cold silence said everything. A direct hit to an ego already cracking. >> Thank you. So the total on everything is $219, >> you know, >> and like you said, everybody has their reasons for everything, you know. It's just things that don't send you the tag if you want. >> Which phone number is it on? >> Which phone number is the phone on? Pink one or the other? >> Yeah. Yeah. It'll be on the piece. >> Do you want me to write it on a receipt? >> Okay. >> Just so that way cuz I know a good booking officer would let you get a phone number, >> but I don't work on the squad, you know. So, if you want, I'll write it on one of the receipts. >> What? >> That's probably not going to do it like that. You can just put cancel and swipe up again. >> Just swipe up. >> Okay. You can just put the passcode. >> Oh [ __ ] >> You have all that? >> Mhm. >> Just so that way you don't fall. You there? >> In the end, she was booked into jail and charged with petty theft and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. Although the drug charge was later dropped after medical proof was provided, the theft record and a lifetime ban from Target will remain a hard stain on the life of this highclass wife. From everyday shoplifting to illegal self-destruct set in motion at the airport on March 27th, 2025, TSA flagged suspicious activity and requested police assistance at Orlando airport. Two passengers were suspected of carrying large amounts of cash carefully concealed. The more questions were asked, the more their explanations began to fall apart in ways that were hard to ignore. >> Yes, sir. >> How are you all? Hi. >> Yeah, I understand there was some money in your bag. >> Uh, yes. I'm doing for him. >> Okay. Who Who does the bag belong to? >> Can I ask your ID, please? >> Sure. Okay. I do. >> Okay. Do you have any documentation for the money? Only the only the only on the bank from our account and some money is from casino. >> Yeah. Okay. >> And this one I take for the bank for >> it was all >> where does it start? Right here. >> This is I save you 195. This money is uh >> from the check from the check. I was wondering in my boss give me the income. Some is my boss give me no. >> Explain to me what he said. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I didn't know I'm used to Chinese. Ask him. I myself have money. It's my money. I have job and then uh it's my my sister give me some money cash. The money is his parent give it to sister and his sister give him. >> How much money did his parents give him? >> About 7,000 >> 7,000 is my money. >> So his parent give him like almost like 7K and his sister give him almost like 8K. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> 8K. Where did the rest come from? >> Huh? >> Where did the rest come from? >> And the and the rest come from we go to the gambler. >> Casino. >> The casino. >> Yeah. Casino. >> And how much did you want? Ch three channel 15. >> 15. >> Okay. >> And I won like 5k. >> And you won like five. So some of yours is in there too. Is it? >> Yeah, it's in chair too. >> And then what did you do after the casino and after your parents gave you the money and everything? >> He he should buy a he want to buy a car. >> I need a travel. I go to Orlando to be uh travel. >> So the money that you withdrew from his account, that was the money that his sister and his mother gave him. Suspicion deepened as the stories of my boss's money and my sister's money were awkwardly stitched together. Family ties can be name dropped, but they don't explain stacks of cash tightly wrapped with rubber bands. From there, the truth started leaking through the cracks of a poorly rehearsed script. >> Okay. And that was never deposited into an account or anything? >> The the money from the casino was never deposited into his account. >> Yeah, they because they didn't they want to give me the documents or the receipt. They just say, "Okay, you got a card. Play your card and give me the money." But they let us write a W9. >> Do you have any of that paperwork from the casino? >> No. >> Give you a receipt for your >> No. 102. >> About how much was it? >> Sure. >> About 40,000. She has about 5,000. He has about 40,000. >> Okay. >> About 15 16 of which he said was from relatives. Another 15 from the casino. All wrapped in rubber bands CSA. No documentation whatsoever. He has he does have transactions on his app. about >> of the uh of the of the >> for a few thousand. Yeah. For what you got from the family. >> Yeah. >> But no documentation for the stuff in the casino. >> And where's your flight? Where's your flight to? >> It's go to San Francisco. It almost kind of late. It stop boardings right now. >> Okay. >> Take it right there. >> Sure. Yeah. >> Uh casino. What's that? >> Uh Har Rock in Tampa. >> Har Tampa. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So you you are free to leave. The money has to stay until we can investigate further. >> Okay. So, we have to make some notifications. >> You want to explain that to him? You You two are free to leave, but the money has to stay until we can do some investigation. >> We can. >> So, we're making a phone call. >> Yeah. >> Someone else. They're going to decide if they want to come out and speak with you further. If they don't, then you can leave with the currency. Not a problem. >> At this point, you're not detained. You may leave freely, but the currency cannot. If you would like to uh leave, then we can go back to the office and you can leave the currency there and so forth. But we're making a phone call and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes here now to determine if they're going to come out. If they do not want to come out, if they do not want to come out, then you guys leave. That's it. Take your money. >> Under US law, casinos are required to issue a W2G form for significant winnings for tax purposes. Saying there's no paperwork simply didn't hold up. The turning point came during a closer inspection when the actual amount of cash suddenly jumped to more than double what had been claimed. >> Her bag. Do you have his bag? >> That's her bag or his? That was his. But it was it was in the jacket. >> Can I see what's in the bag? >> Is anything How is it concealed? The money reference. >> Well, it's just >> Okay, that's that's all you found. >> Yeah, that was all. >> And how was it in the bag? Just >> she said it was wrapped in the jacket inside the bag. And now her bag has cash in it too. >> I didn't check. They didn't put her bag. >> Her bag wasn't full. >> When uh when did you go to the casino? >> Uh about yesterday. >> Yesterday. The day before yesterday and the day before before yesterday. We went there like three days. >> Yeah. >> And you don't have any receipt or anything? Neither of you. >> Have you been cas? >> They give you a receipt. >> They give you a receipt. Yes. >> Gotcha. >> They do have reservations where it shows that they were at the casino. Michael Sipski. >> So when you open the bag, >> when I opened the bag, >> I saw it and then I saw Yeah. I asked him, "How much do you have here?" He said, "About 40,000." >> It was like actually like wrapped up in this. >> Yeah. With the little rubber band around there. >> Sweet. All right, bro. >> Haven't finished counting this. It's going to be over 50. >> I asked him specifically if it's over 50. No, no, no. So, good to know. And this this even bigger than that. >> Okay. And he's saying that >> between 120 >> all California different. >> That's why they >> But all three of the Oh, no. We have William Spencer. Basically, we have we got a money call out and this guy's got a little over 100,000 in cash, but then with the second 50,000 in cash, uh he had three fake IDs and a couple uh looks like fraudulent credit cards. >> Can you get the suitcase? >> Yeah, right now. There's three screens. >> And do you have some water? >> Take a seat. I'll get >> The counting only made denial harder. The money was bundled into small stacks with rubber bands, something no one does when depositing cash at a bank. And it didn't stop there. Inside the bag were multiple fake documents. At that point, it was clear the story was collapsing and the man was quickly placed in handcuffs. >> He's just contained. Okay. >> What? >> Give me a sec. Give me a second. which means he's not to go. It doesn't mean he's rest. Okay. >> Okay. >> Can I call my uh family? >> Where do you want them? >> Uh can I touch my phone and I call my family? >> I don't have any more IVs on you. >> You okay if I check your name? >> And whose bag? >> That one's yours. Okay. Thank Which name is he using? >> Gen one. >> Yeah. >> Nothing in my bag. You can try. >> There's money. >> Yes. Nothing >> and ID. Nothing. >> Money and ID. >> When you have those IDs, >> someone give me a message. >> Wait for her to come back. >> Yeah. >> This is my all. >> I need to pay my friend a lot of money. This my all is my friend money. I need to pay my friend a lot of money. >> Why? 120,000. >> You have to pay your friend,000. >> This is my all is my friend money and I want to go to the casino owing. You know, this is all my friend money. Oh my god. You take everything. I I need to know. >> When she comes back, we're going to talk. Okay. >> Yes. >> When she comes back, let's talk. >> You can kill me. If you take this money, you can kill me. >> No. >> No, you can't. This is my all. I can pay my my friend another money. >> We'll talk about that. We'll figure out why. >> This is my all. Uh-huh. I need to pay more money. You're going to show me first. I don't know the airline. Can we take a lot of money in here? >> I don't know. So, I need to go to a Jo. >> Right now, I want to talk to you. Okay. >> So, later I need to go to Joy. Jo like a jail? >> A jail? >> Yeah. >> That's why I want to talk to you. I want to find out what's going on, but I don't want to try to talk to you and you not understand what I'm saying. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. Just go. >> No. No. Sit down. When someone slips into sudden desperation, it's usually because they know they're hiding something bigger, sometimes more frightening than the police themselves. The man tried to lean on emotion as a way out, but the system doesn't respond to emotion. It quietly checks, cross references, and begins peeling back the real identity underneath. >> May look like she went to the other side. >> Just have a seat over there. Okay. I know. >> All right. I'll I'll let you know once everything's done. This is his his property. >> Okay. I'll put it in his >> Hold on. >> No. Left foot in first. >> Yeah. He's been back down a couple times. >> About my cigarette and lighter. >> What? >> What's that? Those can't go to the jail. >> My cigarette and lighter. >> Um my bag, right? >> I don't know. Um if cigarettes were allowed to go to the jail, the detectives put everything in your bag now. Okay. And then whatever couldn't go, they brought they gave it to your your friend. In the end, the man was formally arrested and faced charges including moneyaundering, fraud, impersonation, and possession of fraudulent identification. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, was notified regarding unlawful presence. A predictable ending for anyone who believes lies can buy them a clean exit. Up next, a brilliant plan that made it all the way to the terminal exit before completely falling apart. On June 9th, 2025, Target called police about a suspected case of intentional shoplifting. A woman had been seen using an unpaid storage bin to hide merchandise and attempting to leave the store. Once officers arrived, every scheme on the table started to show its cracks. They're still in. >> Yeah, they're still inside. He wants to know if uh you'll move your car so that when they come outside, I think we're just going to go in. I mean, at this point, >> they're actively trying to conceal. >> I'm not good with that. They're actively trying to conceal. That's 82 all day long. >> They're actively trying to conceal. >> Our boss and like our Target guidelines, we unfortunately can't have y'all just go in there and grab them up. They have to bypass for us. >> So they're actively trying to conceal something. That is a crime. >> But for Target, they want them to cuz we won't let us. >> So you want us to wait for them to come outside? >> Yeah. So I can tell you like I'm I'm not We'll work with you guys, but I'm not hiding my car and having to chase somebody. >> Like that's not what I'm going to do. We don't that's not how we roll. >> They're putting it into a storage bin that that's like they haven't purchased yet. >> Sure. >> But the odds are >> Okay. Well, we didn't talk about this. I found. >> So, where's the other one? >> And they were ringing the purple together. >> She She was She was going to run. >> I like that you shaved your head again. Shaving her head, >> bro. Thank you. You got to fade this boy. You got to You got to fade it. >> Let me do it for you. I'll come to your house and I'll >> Yellow one's involved. They got one girl who's already with loss prevention now. They stopped her, but yellow one's involved. One of the problems that walked out, put some stuff up there. She only paid for one thing. She knew she got caught. >> This one was part of them, too. >> The one in the yellow was part of them. >> She didn't bother hiding items on her body. She hid everything inside an unpaid storage container sitting right there in the cart. Hiding goods inside other goods is hard to explain away. It clearly shows intent. She was confident right up until the officer said, "Open the lid." >> No, I'm sorry. You can keep it cuz I already I already >> What about the thing underneath it behind it as well? >> Oh, I have a back here. Sorry about that. Thank you. >> Anything in the box? >> No, it's empty. >> Might have to look. That is not empty. >> Oh, >> come on. >> Tried to walk out with that. Ah, yeah. Got me. >> Who thought that? >> God dang. >> Look at that. >> It's full. I know. >> Is it full? >> Oh, yeah. It's full. Look at that, >> bro. What the >> I'm moving. >> Come on. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. I pay for these, though. Can I >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, that's going to sit there. That's going to sit there. >> Can I get my phone? >> No, you can wait. >> Why not? >> All righty. >> Go ahead and sit right there. >> She trying to walk out with a whole bin of clothes. >> I paid for both of them. So you pay for all the third. >> Oh, she she got a bunch of stuff like she returned. >> She dropped a bunch of stuff off. She's like, "I can't afford this." She's like, "I can't afford this." She walked out with one black box. >> So your friend's going to be waiting on y'all for a while. >> Well, you're you're going to jail. So >> I'm going to jail. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Where you from? >> I'm not from here. >> All right. So where you from? >> Georgia. >> Okay. What's your name? How many kids you got? >> Just one. >> Just one. >> They going to miss their mama or not when you in jail? >> No, I'm going get out tomorrow. >> I don't think so. If it fell in your mouth like a >> um >> but wait a hand. >> Yeah. Oh my >> appreciate you guys. But you realize if it's over $750 in the phone. >> Once the physical evidence spoke, every excuse became nothing more than a late echo of an ego that couldn't accept losing. The facts just sat there. No arguing required. Ironically, as reality closed in, she kept smiling, treating the whole situation like a harmless joke. >> With yours, you you got food and then you had some random like the bedding and the towels and stuff like what? So, you'll probably go to jail for um Did you tally up that dollar amount yet? >> No. Yeah. They're calculating it outside. >> Okay. If it's below 750, you go on a misdemeanor. >> Yeah. >> And you'll be able to punch misdemeanor. >> You'll be all right. >> Where's your other sister? >> It's probably where she at. >> Oh, man. >> So, you said this is your first time. You never going to do another target spoken there before? >> No. >> I'm not really a thief, you know. I just didn't want to pay my rent. I want to make that clear. I don't just steal for a living, you know. >> Hey, put my $40 in my purse so that way when I get out I can uh >> Is that with or without tax? >> They going to take my [ __ ] $40. Put it towards the bond. >> Okay. And that's for the tote? >> I paid for the tote. I actually paid for that. >> So you paid for the tote that held the stolen merchandise? >> No, I won't call it that. cuz I mean if I'm get in trouble like at least I don't play around, man. If I'm get in trouble, don't make I'm not going to be one of them people that's in the mud shop looking ugly. >> You ever been You ever been to jail? >> Yeah. Juvie, not jail. >> Was it for theft? >> No, it wasn't actually. It was for beating out of my boyfriend. >> Lord have mercy. >> Yeah. >> Oh, it made it been him. >> Yeah. >> I got to ask, did you go to Sandwoods? >> No, I didn't go to Sandalwood. >> Where you live? >> My people. My people uh they live by it, but I I didn't go there. No, I ended up going to like five different high schools. >> Okay. Because that I used to live near you by there, too. >> Yeah. I I senior Florida lic. >> Yeah. You went to Sanderwood? >> I did. >> YOU DID. YOU HAD BOSTON. DR. BOSTIC. WAS HE THERE BY THEN? >> I graduated 2014. >> He definitely wasn't there. Yeah. The same place. >> A brief confession revealed a violent past. Conflict handled through force, not conversation. But what stood out even more was the mood that followed. Inventory being counted while she laughed it off. With consequences staring her in the face, she still acted like this was just a side scene. Nothing serious yet. >> I'm going to take them both. >> Uh can you just grab >> the receipts? Shoot me a picture of it. Hey, you want to trespass? >> Yes. Uh one year. >> Y'all can't come back for a year. >> Um so go ahead and stand up for me. >> Sure. >> No, not you. Sorry. You got to go somewhere else and steal. No, I don't like to steal wherever I go. I just >> Why DO YOU STEAL? >> BECAUSE I'm moving. Didn't I just tell you? I already GAVE THEM A WHOLE RUNDOWN. >> Hands together like you're >> praying. What? >> That's cool, though. That's fine. >> That's fine. She's She's cool with a felony. >> No, I'm not cool with the felony at all. Not on my record. >> That's all county is too, >> but you know, like I got to be fine with it, you know, cuz I didn't I paid the price. That's what it is. >> She's cool with a felony. Like she >> No, I'm not I'm not cool with it. I don't want >> Jeez. Okay. >> Uh yeah. Yeah, it's on the back of your phone, right? My >> your ID or your EBT. I'll get it for you. >> No, that's Oh, no. My my ID. >> I'm gonna give you a purse. You're going to carry your purse out. You understand? >> Okay. >> I didn't say turn back around. >> Okay. But I mean, >> all right. Now, you turn >> my car my car out. >> All right. Now, we're going to go this way. >> Wait, wait, wait. Get my phones. You can put them in here. >> Get them. >> Okay. Thank you. >> You can put my phone in her bag. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> How hold the purse and walk out at the same time. >> You can ditch. It >> ain't my father. You about to get here than me. >> Property is in jail. >> No. >> Huh? >> That's a return. We know we ain't gonna get the property in jail. >> Tell them to put it on a uh Target gift card. >> It's a gift. >> They already me. What? What I'm going to do? I'm in cuffs. Like >> do it on a gift card >> like a thief. I'm not a thief. I swear to God, y'all. My reckless dude. >> Look at the jeopardy man. >> My is not being wor. It's okay baby. I'm going to get some more. I'm not going to feel it though. I swear to God. I'm serious. Go talk to my pocket. >> He don't want to talk to you. He was looking at me like he did. >> Yeah, cuz you ass clown. >> Go to the right. Go to the right. Go to the right. Go to the right. >> My car is right there at the beetle. >> All right. Stand right there. >> Oh, right here. >> So, they return that stuff and they're giving you a gift card. >> For real. >> Yeah. They got to give you a gift. >> Yeah. >> Don't be back. >> Oh, wait. They going to give me the gift card for the stuff I bought. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. >> Go all the way across. >> Yeah. Slide all the way through. >> All right. Listening to her talk, getting arrested sounded like running an errand. Annoying but routine. There was no remorse, only casual stories about past violence. That was enough. Any sympathy sparked by claims of hard times faded fast because attitude speaks louder than any excuse. >> Something but but they wanted to take the taxes off. I said, I don't think it matters. Like, yeah, give me the tax. It's It's not like if you going in there, you getting taxfree, baby. >> Yeah. Let Let the attorneys figure that problem out, >> you know. Let me go see Let me go ask her if they're done. They should be done. >> Okay. All right. Do y'all get the receipts yet? >> They're They're still waiting. >> What time did they enter? What time did they enter the store? >> I'll have to double check the cameras, but let me go back. >> All right. This is one of their stuff. >> Oh, wow. >> What What' you have for lunch? >> Say, "Oh, Chipotle." They're both. Oh, we have the same thing. >> I let y'all have the sink or the bowl. >> Uh, this is the the total receipt for >> the yellow >> tote. Yeah. >> Yeah, for the tote. And then what's this one? >> Uh, this is the stuff she paid for. Not on that receipt. Okay. >> We're still working on pinks right now. >> Dang. She tried. >> 3:25 p.m. >> Okay. 3:25. >> And then you guys are at 4:11. >> All right. 3:25. 32. >> Anything else? >> Uh, the gift card for that thing. Yeah, they're making it right now. >> So, yeah, that was the other thing cuz it was like one of the purchases they made was over $200. >> And so, we the only concern is like are they going to show out because it's $200 on a gift card as opposed to back to their debit card. >> Was it on a debit card? Did they purchase with >> So, there's some there's some So, there's one receipt, that's EBT, that's a separate transaction, but then there's one where they paid partial cash and then partial debit card. No, it was all debit card. >> Gift card. >> That's it. The only gift card. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah. That way they can go with them. The evidence that I have to take all the stuff with them. >> Okay. Got you. I just wanted to get clarification on that. If I didn't want to go. >> Which one's this one? The stuff she paid for. >> This is the stuff she made. >> Okay. All right. Let me go give this to >> Let me go give this to the deputy outside. I'll be right back for the other one. >> This is yellows. >> Yellows. >> Yeah. They're about They're working on hers right now. >> I don't understand like why like why are you They're actively concealing. Why can we not run in there and snatch them up >> past point of sale. >> So, they're actively concealing. >> You know what I'm saying? >> But it doesn't mean that they ain't going to go to the point of sale and pay for it, >> right? >> Doesn't mean they aren't. >> You have to give benefit of the doubt. >> There ain't no benefit of doubt. >> When I grabbed that tote and you kept walking, I knew there was something in it. >> But I got snatched it up, girl. Um, >> as soon as you get that other one, let me know. >> Yeah, I'll be right back. They're they're finishing up right now. And then they're going to give her the gift card for the stuff she bought. Right back. Can we >> can we get the footage? Are you doing the footage on that right now? >> Perfect. >> We have >> just them entering and then concealing. Yeah, whatever. >> In the end, both women were taken to jail. The woman in pink faced a misdemeanor for theft under $750, while the woman in yellow, our main character, was charged with thirdderee theft. If convicted, she could face up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. She thought she had a genius move at the exit. Then an 18-year-old took the game to a whole new level. On August 26th, 2025, what looked like a bold car dealership transaction quickly raised red flags. An 18-year-old girl used a fake identity and made up income. Convinced that youth alone could blur the rules, the minutes that followed showed exactly why the law doesn't accept playing pretend. I don't know if we want to go around a different way or not, but so we got her just sitting in there. >> Okay, >> just a quick rundown. So, she gave us a credit app. She had trouble filling out her information. Signed on the back. Her name is Emily. Signed it with a second E in the name. >> Came in saying she wanted >> like at the beginning. >> Yeah. No, it's Emily and then instead of just L Y E L Y. And that's not how her name is on the license. She just has like a temp license. Um, she said she wanted a $450 payment. Wasn't sure if she'd get approved. Showed her a $1,200 payment. She signed right away. We looked up the address. Didn't line up. And she says she's in Cincinnati. Works at Cleveland Clinic. Nothing. She got dropped off. She said random. I mean, didn't call in about the car. And it's a Range Rover. So, >> you guys have her license? >> I have the temp license in there. You want to go buy her or do you want to go around? >> I just want to see the license. Maybe I can run it and see. >> Pulled her credit. We asked her if she had any previous car loans. We could see that she did. She said no. >> Huh. Does the picture on her look like her? >> No, because it's been like copied. >> Yeah. >> How's it going, man? >> Hi. Here's the one. >> And then she signed it again here with the second. >> Then we asked her just simple questions about her credit report like previous auto loan. She didn't she didn't know if she had one or not. This is a $54,000 loan she had before. And she's from there. She says she works at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. It's a 216. And then look where she got this at. Right over in Elllet. >> Where's Mason? >> That's Cincinnati. down to Cincinnati. >> Where's she saying she's living now? >> She says she's lived here for 3 years and 3 months. >> But you see here, she almost screwed up that. >> Was she looking at her license when she's filling us out or >> So my sales guy, >> my sales guy said that he has making a copy of this or he had it with her and she was struggling to fill this part out without the info. She opened with confidence, but without the polish of someone who truly knows the game. In front of officers, she tried to stay calm. But when questions turned to her home address, her pace slowed and her eyes drifted, just enough of a crack for suspicion to set in. >> Hello. >> Can you guess why I'm here today? >> Um, what? >> Can you guess? >> I have no idea. >> Okay. Um, >> my ID. >> Yeah, folks. They're telling me, and you can tell me this is >> true or not. Where do you live right now? >> Um, and look at this. Where do you live? >> I live in Cleveland. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have a real ID on you? >> No, not right now. >> No, it's not yours. >> Um, not at the moment. I don't have my ID, but I do have my driver's license. >> What's your name? >> Lala. >> Okay. Lala. Stand up. Put your hands behind your back. >> So, you know that piece of paper that you made up? >> Mhm. You know how it says? >> Read that. Did you read it? What about forgery part? >> Yes. >> Okay. And it says there you have anything on here that's illegal? >> No. >> Anything sharp, dangerous? >> No. >> Drugs? No. >> Weapons or anything like that? >> Nope. >> Okay. >> All right. Anything else besides your phone? >> No. >> No. Okay. I'll be right back in if you don't mind. Someone would mind waiting around. I know you guys are closing and looking to go home like that. >> All right. >> Scammers often strike near closing time when staff are tired and checks might get rushed. She gambled on that moment, too. What she didn't realize was who she was dealing with. The plan was simple. Leave in a car that wasn't really hers. And this time she actually pulled it off. Stand right by this front tire for me. >> All right. Well, listen. You got the right to remain silent. >> Anything you say can, and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. You understand all those rights that I read to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. Why are you out here with that fake license? >> It wasn't even my idea, bro. Somebody did some dumb. >> So, whose idea was it? What were they trying to do? >> I guess they were trying to put a card get a card down and just keep it or whatever. But I told them I don't think that's a good idea because >> 14. This is me taking a big ass risk. >> On top of that, this is my ID. You know what I'm saying? >> It's my stuff. >> On top of that, I'm still young. >> So, when I had came in here, they had said >> So, you were you were told what to >> be 18-year-old. >> They they told me to come. They had drove me all the way down here, gave me that. Yes. Gave me that and told me just go in there and say that you want a car down for 100. I mean, for $0. Okay. Why did you think that that was a good idea? Are you going to work? >> Exactly. Well, I I have a job, but I have I I raised my grandma. Like, I literally take care of her. This is irritating. >> Mhm. So, you knew that you're coming in here with a fake ID to try to buy a car. >> Not buy it. >> Not buy it. Then what? >> I wasn't going to buy it. >> It was zero down. I was going to try to see if I was going to get approved for it. So, >> when blameshifting stopped working, she switched to a moral mask. She hoped sympathy would soften the evidence of forged documents. But the more she talked, the bigger the story grew, and each new detail only made the picture look shakier. >> But I was going to see if I could get approved and I was going to come back, you know, next day and well, whatever they wanted to do. But I I was just trying to see if I could get approved for a car. Okay. You're 18 years old. >> Yes. >> Have you tried this before? >> Nope. >> No. >> Nope. It's my first ever time experience ever doing something like this. >> You been arrested before? >> Nope. >> Even as a kid? I mean, that's exposed or sealed, I should say. No. >> This is very nerve-wracking for me. So, you know, I haven't pan too. >> No, I just got these the other day from my auntie. I just kept the tag on there just to show people how much money something that I don't know why we do that but that's what we do. We'll keep the tags on our stuff just to show people how much it cost. >> Well, we don't do that in acronyms. Must be a Cleveland thing. >> License. That's That's what's wild to me. Like I should have read that [ __ ] >> Who made that? >> Um I know the person who had had it made. I I know who that is and I know their Instagram and yes, I will be a snitch. I don't care. >> Who made it? >> Um, his name is on Instagram. >> You know his real name at all? >> Um, no. >> No. You know what? >> I don't know what he look like. >> Nope. I know his number. >> What's his number? >> It's in my phone. >> All right. >> But I can show you the >> Why did you guys decide to come down on a try? >> Um, this is where they took me. I had no clue there was like I never had any clue that we was going this far. So when I looked at my location I'm like why is we going all the way to A. >> Yeah. >> This is far as hell. >> Yeah. >> Just past Bedford. I'm like nah bro. >> You guys had the whole Bedford auto mile. >> An obsession with image and status pushed her to break the law just to keep the illusion alive. The car wasn't about transportation. It was a badge of selfworth. In setups like this, the real players often put teens out front, knowing they're easier to manipulate and more likely to get leniency if things go sideways. >> Do you have anything you're not supposed to have? >> Mhm. >> They have a scanner at the jail. >> That's fine. I don't got nothing. >> They don't see it. >> They can see stuff that's inside you. >> It's like an X-ray machine. >> Yeah. I don't >> So tell us now cuz it's another It's another felony charge. >> It's much I don't got nothing. >> I just came out here with my phone and myself. Okay. Tell me about these insurance documents. >> Huh? >> Is it that to me? So I can show you. >> They sent it to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. So you didn't come up with them yourself? >> Was it the same person that t four person sent you these things? I show you. >> Okay. >> They're up in Cleveland now. This type of person >> or you hang out with them in person at all? >> Well, this is actually my second time meeting them. They shouldn't be that far. Not too far from here because they the ones who dropped me off and was waiting. So, >> is it was it the guy that dropped you off? >> You dropped you off? >> Yes. Um, did they were you supposed to call them to come pick you up? >> Well, they was when I came out, they supposed to be waiting right there where they dropped me off at. But I they supposed to >> They probably saw me and took off, I bet. >> Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. But >> what kind of car they got? >> Um, it was a Nissan >> over there. >> They were sitting over there. You can see them. >> Yeah. >> All right. Yeah, they probably took off. That'd be dumb to hang out. Okay. This is so In the end, she was taken to jail and charged with forgery and using a false identity. At 18, she got a brutal dose of reality. There's no such thing as privilege behind the wheel of a car bought with stolen identity, and arrogance always costs more than any monthly payment. The luxury car plan just blew up and the scene cuts straight to a breatholding Walmart case. Next, on February 8th, 2023, a shoplifting call brought police to a Walmart in Chilikothy, Ohio. Instead of cooperating, two suspects chose to bolt into the nearby woods. That decision set off a chain of events no one on scene could have predicted. We're headed south to this line. That's where we're headed now. Female red shirt. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Get on the ground. >> Where's the mail? >> That way. >> Hand you guys. >> Well, don't do this. All right. Thank you. >> Am I going to jail? >> Why are you laying filming? >> I didn't FOR YOU LIKE THAT. I WAS TRYING TO HELP you guys. >> I promise that's all I was doing. Do you want to stand up or do you want to stay sitting for a minute? >> I was standing down for a minute. >> All right. >> So, why were you running from Walmart? >> I was just with my boyfriend and and they stopped him or whatever. >> And then he said, "Do you get your boyfriend?" So, that's what I want to do. >> Well, that's going to give you >> I didn't catch up. So, So, what were you running from Walmart for? He ran him. >> I was I don't They like I said, they stopped him and then they didn't say nothing about me cuz I didn't do nothing. And then um they told me to go get my boyfriend. I said, "Okay, that's what I was doing." That's all I was doing. I promise. That's all I was doing. I promise. I'm going to get up on your feel. All right. Can you move on to one knee for me? >> I'm back to the pee. I'm about to pee myself. >> Did you take anything today? >> Huh? >> Did you take anything today? Anything? >> Loyalty lasted right up until the cuffs clicked shut. When running wasn't an option anymore, she switched tactics from silence to cooperation. A lastditch role as the helpful one was spun as an escape hatch, but the system doesn't need a script. A few steps later, officers found the man she'd mentioned. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Please don't shoot me. >> Get on the ground. Get on your stomach. I got >> Get on your stomach. >> I got on your stomach. Get your hands out. >> On your stomach. I told you. On your stomach. >> Okay. Give me your arm. You hurt my back. There you go. >> Well, if you would listen to what Iing tell you, you wouldn't have had that problem, would you? >> I'm just trying to say I got heart problems. I can't breathe. You want stupid to be stealing it, huh? >> Hungry. I got back problems. >> Everyone has back problems. >> Well, you just ran a mile. I think you're all right, lad. >> I will when we get to the cruiser. >> Keep walking. Baby, calm down. >> I'm trying. Baby, I love you. Baby, baby, stressing out, man. You're pregnant. Stop. >> I dare me. ID. Breathe. >> I need to be quiet for a second. >> Are you pregnant? >> Yes. >> Cover her. >> IF YOU RUN, >> YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF ESCAPE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? Right now, you're an inmate. If you run from us after being unc, you'll be charged with a felony escape. You understand that? I'm going to run, >> baby. >> You were running from me, were you? >> I could do it if I was doing what they asked you to do. >> They asked you to run as they asked me to go get him and go talk to I swear to God for >> the people at Walmart. I swear to God they did. Talk to my boyfriend. I swear to God they did. >> Take us back to Walmart. And you know I got your mouth, baby. >> The man had an active warrant which explained why he risked the woods instead of facing a basic theft charge during the pursuit. He even played the pregnancy card using the woman's condition as emotional leverage to tug at officer's compassion. >> Y you don't have anything that's going to stay calm. Do you know it's going to be okay? You really >> I mean Listen, if you pitch me, we take you to jail, you better get in that toilet and talk to me. >> This goes for both of you. Silent anything second in court. Attorney can't afford attorney would be put for you to present any questions to answer questions now. You have the right to stop any time saying that. We're going to just go straight to that. >> I have a lighter, so I don't want you guys to No. over here. I have a leg. I ain't had my period about 8 weeks now. That's why you [ __ ] >> You got a pen. No pen. Oh, I forgot. I was about my negligence card. >> Like an ink pen? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Write her number down for me. >> We'll get that in just a second. All right. Before we go anywhere, I'll make sure you get your phone number. >> Once the illusion of special treatment was stripped away, the case moved forward by the book. Store management confirmed the toughest sanction, a permanent ban not just from Walmart, but also Sam's Club and affiliated gas stations nationwide. >> When you guys don't stop, when Walmart tries to stop people who shop with them, they automatically borrow you. Okay, you're both already in hand. Well, you are in handcuffs loan. So, >> she's pregnant. She can't. >> Okay. I'm just letting you know that you are barred for life, okay? From all Walmarts in the world. All right. I'm I'm going to write in custody right here because you can't. Sorry. All right. >> What you miss? >> I with him like like you said, I didn't get stopped at the door, but I did follow him. you guys targeting her, too. >> Um, she's going to be in our case system. Um, with she didn't have no >> Hey, listen, man. I'm I'm asking him. >> She's going to be in the case system with being with you when this happened. Um, but we're not charging you with that. >> So, what would that be? Um, >> it's not fleing or looting. What is it? Uh, >> obstructing official business. >> That's just a misdemeanor, right? M2. >> It's just a misdemeanor, babe. your room. >> I'll be out tomorrow. >> I know. >> So, you guys didn't purchase anything at all. >> You guys didn't buy anything at all? >> Did you come in here to buy anything specific? >> Buy some a some plumbing part. Some plumbing parts. >> You better thank them. They got enough on you. truck it with complicity at the least. There's a female watch that you selected in there. So, I mean, you're just as guilty as he is. Wait for >> you got pants on the >> leggings. The leggings. >> Yeah, >> it's just Yeah. >> He didn't want to stop for me. He finally did and then he wouldn't get on the ground. So, I put him at gunpoint and intervenes until I just put my gun up and tackled him. >> So, I'll give him to the jail. >> All right. I didn't tackle her tackle. >> The other officer did. >> 97 male has my cuffs again. Remember that. >> They'll be able to give her a bond once they get a bucked in. >> Okay. >> That she'll she'll know a bond once they get a bucked into that. >> The truth about the women's watch she personally chose blew up the man's story of stealing out of hunger. With the image of a desperate mother no longer defensible, she shifted to blaming others. That's the moment fake loyalty cracked under the reality of jail. >> Co make it easy on you and get you out the other side. >> You want to go out this way? >> My first time in a cop, my buddy. >> I was just trying to make it easier on you. >> You want to just walk on? I'll get you this stuff and bring it in to you. >> Was there any money in that wallet? >> This what? >> Yeah. I believe so. >> Well, they will handle all that. >> Yep. >> Put the money with me. >> That you tell them that. They'll do that. I don't put the money on the books. >> You got money on it? >> Yeah. It's on my car. >> My bad. My bad. >> It's on my car. I don't have cash. >> I didn't. You can. I got >> Don't do that. Face that window. You bring him in one at a time. >> Place your hands on the wall. Place your hands on the wall like I've told you not to talk how many times now and you still still not cooperating. >> How much money you need? >> I understand that. >> I understand why you're upset. >> What? If if you were that upset, you wouldn't bring you out. >> If you were that upset, Listen, listen. Hang on. Listen to me. >> If you were that upset about her having your kid and you're in jail, you would have thought about it before you got a fresh charge. You wouldn't have got a fresh charge. >> In the end, both were arrested. The woman faced a seconddegree obstruction charge and after court received 90 days in jail, a $750 fine plus supervision and mandatory treatment due to her behavioral history. The man was charged with theft, obstruction, and execution of the prior warrant, resulting in 270 days in jail and a $1,750 fine. Tears close the chase. The next act opens sharper and more calculating. On March 9th, 2023, police responded to Target to investigate an unusual internal case. A new employee was suspected of quietly walking out large amounts of cosmetics and household goods in just 30 days. As the pieces started fitting together, the truth came into focus. Um um she's been here a month and she um has taken just, you know, about $1,000 worth of merchandise one handling this. >> I'll have her down here in just a second. So, here's her statement. Here's the evidence and she'll be able to talk you through anything if >> just give me one second. She'll be down here like a minute. All right. >> Got it. >> All right. I just gave high level over. >> Um what? Give me the the whole picture. What's What's happening? >> She's only been here for 30 days. >> Okay. >> We've only been able to prove a thousand something. She admitted >> here. >> Mhm. >> This adds up to $800 something dollars. >> Uh there is some on the third. I haven't printed any of those just yet. It's on the statement here. >> Oh, >> for 215. >> Okay. >> Um, that was I was able to find that last night and then she admitted to it in our interview as well. Like a bunch of like makeup, clothes, food, anything she needs. >> Mhm. >> And then she'll go grab bags, put all the merch in the bags, and then walks out with it. >> Got it. It's >> our same rule for like every day. Is the fourth the day that you like first saw it >> and then you like went back on the third and saw >> the fourth was the day that we were actually going to apprehend her as an external subject until we realized she was one of ours. >> Okay. And because curiosity kills the cat, why wait why wait till now? >> Um so I'm at the leader of the store. He went on vacation. She called out for most of her shifts after. So, we were going to pull her on Tuesday, but she called out and she called out yesterday. >> Big retailers like Target rarely grab you the first time. They usually document quietly, stack evidence, and wait until the behavior repeats enough to show a clear pattern. She thought a smile could make it all slide. In reality, they were letting her take a few more steps so they could hit her with a serious charge. is to stop an employee, they have to do it three times >> at least enough to show a pattern. >> So, let's just say this. Now, I'm just asking questions. Hypothetically, if if these didn't happen and it was just this, what would you guys do with just this? >> It would be up to my like higher up HR and >> I would try what to do with it. >> Yes. Like my level is like here, the one you saw running in, he's my boss. >> I got you. I got you. She's in a a a different room down there. They're doing her like termination paperwork or something like that. >> Oh, it's an employee. >> Yes. >> Oh, I thought she was a customer. >> No. So, this here says >> Wait, is it like Asian girl sitting over here? >> Oh, this is her me. >> Oh, >> thank you. Look, I saw a girl sitting by herself in the office. Is that her? >> No, >> she's all the way in that store director office. So we got on the fourth which is this 290 but this adds up to 240. >> It's pretext. >> Where does it say like for instance if she bought two blenders where would it say that she bought like quantity of two? Where where >> it would be right there. But that one just has the blender Levi shorts in it. Um the only thing that was different that we were trying to change price was the underwear from what they told me. >> Okay. So all this underwear underwear. >> Yeah. and bras. She has bras as well. >> So, she bought one, one of these, one of these, one of these, one of these, one of these. >> Correct. >> But the sale price is >> that >> when you do the training receipts, they do not allow you to take the sale off. >> Do you have them? You want me interview her? >> Yeah. She's just sitting in the office. She's quick to flee. >> You want me? >> Oh, yeah. She's living. >> Yeah, let's do that. >> Where's she at? >> I can walk you guys down there. >> Can we bring her in? No, we rather not. >> All right. Okay. So, we're all in one place. Can we bring that stuff down there? >> Yeah. >> You want to grab that? >> Yeah. >> Which way? >> Repeating 23 transactions in 30 days wasn't a slip up. It was a mix of impulse control issues and calculated greed. Every time she got away with it, it strengthened that false sense of safety. While the case file was already being built piece by piece, >> we're going to detain you right now. Okay. Can you put your hands behind your back? >> Yeah. Put the backs of your hands together >> like you're praying. That's >> okay. Either way, >> that's fine. >> All right. Do you do you have an ID with you anywhere or anything? >> Um, no. I don't have it on me. >> Is it here? No, I don't carry it. That's me. >> So, you didn't bring anything with you? >> Just my phone and my water and my lunch. That's it. >> Okay. Where's your phone at? >> Um, it's in my pocket. >> Okay. >> I'm going to read this to you cuz we want to ask you some questions, but because you're not free to leave, I have to read this to you. Okay. >> You do have the right to remain silent. Nathan, you say it can be used against your >> universal threat. >> You took a air fryer. >> It was a what? >> Facial. >> It was universal threat. I just blender >> um just because it's on video. >> Is this all you do? >> All you do is work or do you have other things you do like >> go to school or or you like um >> I already finished school. >> Do we have a um >> I'm sorry. >> I used to be an engineer and then I lost our video for this. >> Huh? >> Why did we make one? I >> lost my um Okay. So, we're down third. >> You can do a video for it and a receipt for all that. >> Yeah, I can. >> Um, we have the fourth. Have >> you been arrested before? >> No. >> 41.97. >> The total amount you have over the misdemeanor amount. So, unfortunately, we're looking at felony charge. >> When asked why, she immediately went with the independent girl story. First department just taking what she needed. It's a classic move. Humanize the behavior. Make a calculated decision sound like a sad circumstance. But when questioned directly, the nerves showed fast. >> I mean, when I'm I needed money to like buy stuff, I pick up over time. >> I'm looking for a second job. >> I got you, babe. I mean, if I'm in need a facial is the last thing I want to buy. >> You understand? >> What? >> A facial machine, whatever. A steamer. I was trying to make like side things. >> I get it. But I mean, if I'm in survival mode, I'm buying food. I'm not trying to take stuff like that. >> I just got approved for SNAP benefits. So, >> what is it? >> Snap benefits. >> What were you working before? stuff. >> Um, I used to do cells >> where >> it was called Unity Exchange >> for charity. >> What happened before? What were you working for that? >> What kind of engineering? >> Engineering. >> You're a smart girl cuz I got for training brothers engineers and >> it was it was good job. Just >> okay. >> So if you're a smart girl, man, you know, this wasn't a bright idea. >> Of course, able to vacation. >> Target spends a lot of money in surveillance and loss prevention. So you're going to get caught simulator. >> Yeah. >> He said they found these items here in a bag. >> Like scanned them all >> and she made it out with all of them. >> Mhm. >> Come try adopted. So, I don't really have like anything like that. >> This pattern reflects a kind of entitlement theft where survival needs get blurred with luxury wants. Taking high-end skincare tools and pricey cosmetics wasn't about getting through a hard week. It was about keeping a lifestyle going using someone else's inventory. >> All right. Unfortunately, taking a ride. Okay. So, you're a female. Am I going to search you? >> You have anything on you that I should know about? I'm going to take my phone from you. >> Got it. >> All right. What's here? That's my lip gloss. >> Okay. I'm going to take I'm going reach in and grab it out. Okay. Anything else? >> That's all. >> All right. Anything in your bras? Anything in your underwear? >> No. >> All right. Like I said, you're a female. I'm not going to search you, but I'm going to let the female correction officers search you. Deputy should say. Um, so if you have anything on you, please let me know ahead of time so I can let them cuz if you have anything on you, once it wasn't there, it's additional charge. And that's out of my hand. That's they do that as a felony charge. >> Okay. >> Okay. Nothing. Nothing at all. No drugs, needles, knives, guns, weapons, nothing. Nothing even where we can't reach. Is Is this any Is this all your property out here? >> Um, yeah. >> Car keys or anything? Anything >> you can take? You want your lunch box? >> No. >> Car keys. Keys. >> Yeah. I'm um take the handcuff and just do me and I'll get back to you. All right. Don't know why. So, it's kind of like a payment. The payment is free to get out until your child see. So, >> I'm estim $1,000 or if you get a bond. Let's go over a little bit. I don't want to cost me. >> Yeah. Do the >> In the end, Diamond was charged with grand theft. The court ordered her to pay Target over $11,000 in restitution. But the biggest cost wasn't just the money. Security staff who helped her dodge checks were fired, too. So, what's your take on this girl with a career? Was she truly struggling or addicted to the feeling of entitlement? And if a pretty smile didn't work at Target, wait until you see what happens next in a shopping cart. On August 13th, 2025, police were called to a CVS after staff recognized a familiar face. The woman was caught hiding nearly $900 worth of merchandise inside a baby stroller. Once officers stepped in, the story quickly took a different turn. >> Hi. >> What are you putting in your stroller? >> Nothing. >> Yeah. You want to lift it? Is that a baby in there? >> No. >> So, what's in there? Oh, you want to lift the sheet >> or am I going to lift it? >> You can lift it. >> You lift it. >> You can lift it. >> I did this with my sister. She's in the car. >> Turn around. >> I'll get your sister, too, cuz she's probably in that handicap parking spot. >> Yeah, she is. >> Yeah, I know. Wow. Good job. >> I had to. >> You don't have to do anything. >> I do. >> No, you don't. >> You don't. So, so you need to steal moisturizing conditioner, right? You need to steal >> you need to steal perfume, right? Or detox shampoo, right? You need to steal shampoo, right? And and ovulation strips. >> Okay, sir. >> There ain't no Okay. You're the one who CAME HERE. OKAY. It ain't okay to steal. >> You don't have to grab me like that. JUST BECAUSE I DID SOMETHING WRONG, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GRAB ME LIKE THAT. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO GRAB ME LIKE THAT. WHAT? >> Sit down. >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL ME LIKE THAT. >> GET OVER HERE AND SIT DOWN, TOO. All right, >> get over here AND SIT DOWN, TOO. >> ARE YOU PULLING ON ME LIKE THAT FOR? >> Sit down. Sit down. >> Can I clear traffic? >> You're going to jail. Okay. At a minimum for obstruction. You don't pull away from the police. >> I DIDN'T PULL AWAY FROM YOU PULLING ON ME. YOU SMASHED ME. >> AND your car smells like So, we're going to search that. And you're parked here. Okay. And you're YOU'RE NOT HANDICAPPED. >> WELL, SIR, >> THAT'S THAT'S NOT HOW YOU use a decal for handicapped now, is it? Are you handicapped? Is that issue to you?

No one wants the headache or the optics. She knew that and used it to her advantage. Ironically, when she was caught red-handed, she didn't apologize. She immediately started demanding rights and making claims. >> YOU DON'T WANT THAT. >> NO, YOU CAN GET ONE OF THE JAIL. >> SOMEBODY ELSE. NO, >> you don't have to pull on me. >> You can get one at the jail. >> IT DOESN'T MATTER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT >> DON'T FACE ME, >> SIR.

And >> we're going to We're going to Here's what we're going to do. We're going to give you a ticket. Okay.

I'M GOING TO REFER you to the state attorneys for charges. >> The younger sister tried to draw a hard line between herself and her sister's actions to avoid being tagged as an accomplice. But the smell of drugs in the car and diapers scattered everywhere told a different story. A chaotic, outofc control lifestyle that didn't belong to just one person, but both. >> Yeah. Right here. You got a medical card? >> What? >> You got a medical card? >> Do I have a medical >> medical card? >> I don't have a medical. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.

So, it kind of is my business. >> You're not YOU'RE A P YOU'RE A PERSON. >> OKAY. >> It's the police. So, it is my business that you're stealing. She admitted she knew it was wrong, then added the familiar condition that she was forced to do it to survive. Reality shut that down fast. The stolen items were expensive perfume and high-end shampoo, not basic necessities. >> What did you do coming to the CVS? Why did you come here tonight? >> I came here to the CVS tonight because uh I was in a domestic violence relationship. All my clothes and everything that I had was thrown out of the vehicle. I had nothing to my name. I had no clothes. I have nothing. Period. Nothing. >> And did you call the police about this? >> Yes, I have a police report. I have a uh police number and stuff like that. I have no >> Do you live in Lehi? >> Yes, I live in Lehi. This happened in Naples. >> Yeah, I knew what I was doing was 12, but I had no money. I had no one I could call, no family. >> Do you Do you have a job? >> No, I just came down here. I just came down here and before I could like I just came down here. I came down here with no ID, no nothing. Like my birth certificate is at my sister's house. So I'm wait. It's just so much like you know I'm just going through a lot. Just really truly honestly going through a lot. >> Okay. >> So I had no one else. I have no one here. No family, no mama, no sister, no brother, no cousin. >> I'm on my own. >> So I'm just doing what I have to do. >> So during that and you're at people house, you're not paying nothing. You're not doing like you're not paying you have to do something. Okay. So, >> have you ever been arrested before? >> Yes. For >> like um disorderly, just like being upset and just them not being able to like calm me down or something like that. That's it. I never been arrested for nothing. >> Have you been arrested for stealing before? >> No, I'm not stuff. So, I like I just didn't like how you were just treating me like I was just I know STEALING IS NOT RIGHT. You don't you don't supposed to do that. Like you don't supposed to. But if you have like you don't have nothing like you have nothing else, you have nobody. Like I mean at that point like you'll do whatever you have to do and this is it. Like that's just it. I'm out here and it's I swear to the god above all my dad I have no one out here. No one. Like not a mom, a brother, a sister, a dad. My mom. >> Where's your family at? >> In O California. >> Why did you go back there? >> I did. And I did. My mom, she's not like the normal typical mom. So, you can't go with her. >> You have kids? >> But listen, listen, listen. Listen for just listen for a I'm trying to help you. Listen for a moment. Okay? When you get out of jail, you need to if if you don't have a place to stay, you need to go to the ACT shelter. Okay? That's a shelter that you can stay at if you're the victim of domestic violence. Okay? Until you get yourself together. All right? So that way you don't have to owe people things, right, that you live with. So that way you don't have to come out here and commit crimes to survive. You get what I'm saying? They'll they'll try to hook you up with a job. Okay? I don't want you out here stealing and I don't want to confront you again. >> She may have been in pain. The tears may have been real, but stealing close to $1,000 isn't some noble act. Most of the time, American police aren't putting on a show. They're dealing with everyday messes from mental health crises to social breakdowns. unpolished, unglamorous, and very real. >> Because I'm not trying to be mean to you, okay? I'm I'm trying to be a nice guy to you, okay? But there are certain things that need to happen in order for me to start relaxing and being nice to you. You get what I'm saying? I don't want to be mean to you. That's not my nature. But at the same time, I can't just have you, you know, delaying what I need to do. So, if I need to get you out of the store to keep tabs on her, you're going to come out the store with me. And if you can't keep up, you know what I'm saying? So, you need to just when you get out of jail, which I'm sure we'll be soon because you are you on paper or anything? Are you on bond probation for that disorderly intox? >> Well, I did get out on bond, but they gave me a diversion program. They I signed a diversion program and stuff. So, I just have to do 10 hours of community service, but I'm done. Like I I'm pretty sure like that's over with. >> Okay. But I don't know when I will get out cuz I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to post bond again and I don't know. >> Okay, I understand. All right, young lady. Well, listen. How old are you? >> 21. >> You got a lot of time to change your life around him. >> Okay. A lot. Don't Don't become one of these people that steal for a living, okay? Cuz there's people out there like that. I'm not saying that's you, but they they they start this way and then next thing you know, they're they're stealing things. are going to Miami trying to sell things. They're doing all sorts of stuff to survive. Okay? Go to school. Do something. You're 20. Remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before you before we ask you any questions and to have him with you during questioning. Listen, the only thing you're being charged with tonight is the possession charge. Okay. >> Can I have someone come get my car? >> I You know what? I will allow that to happen. >> Can I call someone? >> Well, I we'll work on that. Okay. All right. You You stay cool and I'll be cool with you. Okay. But the things that happen here tonight are unacceptable. Okay. On a lot of ends, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be a complete jackwagon to you. Okay. Okay. >> All right. So, I'll How do you have someone local who can come get it? >> All right. As long as we're not waiting like 4 hours for someone to come pick the car up. You know what I'm saying? >> All right. So, and make sure whoever you call has a valid license. Okay. >> All right. Just hang out here for a second. Okay. 56. >> What's that? >> I would like the bigger part. His number is two. >> Huh? >> His car number is >> I don't feel safe. I swear to God. >> What's going on here? >> This man the man. He the officer. >> In the end, both sisters were taken to jail. The older sister was charged with grand theft and nonviolent obstruction of an officer, facing up to 6 years in prison and a $6,000 fine if convicted. The younger sister was charged with possession of a controlled substance. On October 16th, 2023, police were called to a convenience store after reports of a woman repeatedly trespassing and stealing. Staff demanded she be banned from the property. But the moment officers approached, what started as a routine call spiraled into a tense confrontation. >> Um, oh, you called? >> Uh, so what's going on with them? >> So, the lady in the Afghan coming in and out of here for hours. I've been here since 6:00 a.m. She's just stealing. She didn't pay for any of her beverages. She's been here a few minutes before I called, drank her drink, made her coffee, did walked out in her blankie. I tried to stop her. She just kept going. So, I let her sit out there. What's that? You do you do want to trespass or Okay. >> Oh, ma'am. >> Hi. Sorry I didn't get your information. What's your name? >> Do you have a name? >> What's your name? >> Do you have a name? >> Yeah. Officer Silva from Sarasota Police Department. >> Can I see your birth certificate and your social security number? >> No. Um, >> are you going to ask me for mine? Ma'am, you're you're you're being uh currently at this time. >> Don't put your hands on me. You have no right to what if I was What if I was a mute? What if I was death? >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. >> Why are you taking your gloves out? You see how I have to disarm this man right now? >> I'm just trying to have a conversation out of me as a human being. That would be abuse to the court. >> I'm just trying to have a conversation. >> Think you can get a head shot from the building behind you? >> Do you want to try talking to him? >> Yeah. Excessive talking is a sign of abuse >> right now. >> Stop disrespecting my son to the [ __ ] Why is he not going to rip your face off? >> Why do not I have to not worry that my own son is going to go through a psychological traumatic psychotic breakdown? >> Why would I not think that my own son could gut you to the core and he never be like that or harm you like that in your life? >> I think this is funny because I can regulate this as a human being that you're not watching a real human experience and I could kill you. I could drain all of you right now when you have weapons on you and my son could still come in here and ravage their cores. What is wrong with you? >> Are you okay? >> Are you okay? Do you want to? >> Officers tried to calm her down, but she shot back with bizarre accusations, even claiming that wearing gloves was abuse. In the twisted reality she created, every normal action became a threat, as if the whole world was out to get her. >> So deep in my mother with my hands locked out on this ground. Are you feel like that? >> Yeah. You're abusing the out of me and I'm not out of control and I wouldn't need a [ __ ] hospital and I could rearrange your loans. >> You can't even have THEM ANYMORE. I TOLD YOU they're going to give them back, [ __ ] I own them all. >> Yeah. Talking too. >> [ __ ] I'm going to talk to you. You want me to stop talking? Do you want me to stop talking? Cuz everybody who knows me from the fabric of existence KNOWS IF I STOP TALKING, [ __ ] somebody's going to get hurt. If you put your hands on me, I'm going to break your jaw. >> Are you prepared to shoot me in my face, >> [ __ ] Cuz if you are, you better come and lock it. Write the down and stick that [ __ ] SO DEEP IN MY MOTHER. >> I DON'T KNOW her name. I I buy them coffee every morning. She has psychological problems, obviously. Like serious. She doesn't talk. She never speaks, but she's like totally harmless. Um, >> you don't know her name, first name. >> No, I don't. She never speaks. She never says a word. Um, I've never spoken to her. I come here every morning. I buy them coffee all the the homeless here. Um, but she's always been like a mute. She doesn't speak. She doesn't say anything. >> Yeah. >> Um, all >> Yeah, I guess she she's non-threatening, like totally non-threatening. >> I've never seen her. She usually just sits there and kind of All right, we're going to take all this with us. Hey, >> I'm trying not to >> You're endangering everybody on this block. You stupid. >> Everything's okay. Here, come on. >> It's not okay. You're back here. >> And they wanted her to trespass. Yeah. Her specifically, uh, the older guy, they didn't really care about. I told them, "Worst case scenario, you know, we might have to trespass you." And the guy was like, "Oh, no. I don't want to deal with this." And he just rolled away. I go inside and then they tell me they want her specifically trespassing and taking candy and food and >> come over here. >> Witness statements backed up what was obvious. Her mental state was unstable. Police followed deescalation protocol, keeping their distance, speaking slowly, but it didn't work. After ditching the stolen items and walking away, she suddenly came back, making the encounter even more unpredictable. I'm >> back. I'm a little worried about you. I've never seen you before. I don't know you, so I'm a little concerned. Are you okay? >> A smile is good. >> Yeah. >> Can we help you with anything? >> Do you understand you can't go back on this property? You do? No, you don't. >> I tell her you're upset and frustrated. Uh, do you think we can help you out? Maybe take you to the hospital, get you some food there. >> Do you want me to take you to the hospital? You would never make it to a hospital. Do you want me to send you your mother's doorstep in a box, stupid? >> I'm just trying to help you. >> Corner to send you to your mother's house in a box cuz I can open this up now and show you how to use that gun. Stupid. Mommy thinking hard. >> Someone got in there. The body's in there. >> I don't think she likes me. >> She really doesn't like you. >> Every time you speak, >> every time >> she hates you and then she directs it towards me. >> Give me my stuff. >> You want your stuff? Are you going to shoot me a taser? >> I mean, you're I mean, you're you're flexing on me right now. >> I've been trying to have a conversation with you. Stop right. If I ever call my son talking about 41, I [ __ ] fall too. >> And even mine, if they accidentally sprung out of your [ __ ] shell, I'd still [ __ ] break. >> Cops kept trying, offering help and staying patient. They clearly saw the mental health crisis at play and wanted to avoid escalation. But once her threats turned violent and her actions became erratic, the line was crossed. When she moved into the roadway, officers had no choice but to go hands-on. >> Where is my stuff? >> Did I kick? Did I kick? I kick. >> Stop. Now kick it. GET DOWN TO THE GROUND. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS behind your back. >> Stop kicking. Stop resisting. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Stop. Kick me in the face. Enough. >> They're still abusing and hurting me. Do you see this? They're still hurting me. And I'm not resisting arrest. >> Stop resisting. >> They're pushing. >> Stop resisting. >> Trying to break my bones. >> Put your hands behind your back >> right now. If he's recording, you're all killed. God psych. 156. We have one left. Female. 105. >> Stop resisting. >> Take the lungs off. Go ahead, [ __ ] Stop my Stop my Go ahead. They did this to me already on multiple lenses. >> I got it. I got it. >> There you go. Stop. Stop resisting. >> You're going to kill me. So, we're going to die together. They're breaking my balloons. You're burning my vessel. It's in court. I'm already dying. >> You done? >> Keep it up. >> Even cuffed, she fought back, refusing to accept control. She declared herself the real government and hurled threats at the officers. It was paranoia at its peak. Completely disconnected from reality. Stop >> resisting. >> You're breaking my tendons in my shoulder. >> Are you going to stop resisting? >> You were already broken. You already broke tearing. Told you. >> Stop resisting then. >> And I didn't even touch you when I got to kill you. >> Stop resisting. My family's going to shoot you in the face. >> My family's going to shoot me in the face cuz any real cops or any real [ __ ] know this is very people safe. And there are real cops though. And they wouldn't had to use me and punch me in my face and break my bones to steal my [ __ ] dehydrate me and starve me and deprive me of medical care that I could never get. >> You got no >> You actually have family. >> I'm the family of breath. You just touched all over. I'm going to burn my body. >> Hi. Are you okay? I have to ask. I'm the sergeant on duty. Are you okay? >> If I don't get my back and you don't get these cuffs off of me, your family's going to rearrange your family. Get these cuffs off of me and get mying property right now. >> Okay. First of all, you're not going to threaten me. >> I'm not threatening you. I'm telling you this isn't a threat. I've been abused to my court by your fake department right now. Are you cops? Well, cuz my whole family is the real government. So, I'm confused on what the you're doing. >> Okay. You have a great day. >> No, I mean, now it's battery on a Leo. They can work that out. Um, no. She just threatened me. She just said, "You better get these [ __ ] cuffs off me or your family's going to be gone." >> In the end, she was booked into jail and charged with trespassing and assault on a law enforcement officer. Theft and refusal to leave made up the trespassing charge. But once she resisted and kicked at police, things escalated into assault, much more serious. Penalties could include jail time, probation, or even mandatory psychiatric treatment. On June 18th, 2025, cops got a frantic call from Tiffany. She swore her $5,000 French bulldog, Dior, had been swiped by her dog sitter, Kira. What looked like a messy civil squabble turned into a highstakes showdown the moment officers showed up. >> M stand out. >> Okay, >> myself and Cover 16. How you doing? >> I'm good. >> What's going on? >> So, this is an ongoing situation right now. Um, so I had paid her to watch the doll for me. This is her sister. They're they're my kids side of the family. So, she came to my house and she did my kids hair. Like, she retwisted their hair. And then I paid her to basically watch my dog for me for a couple days while I went out of town for a family emergency to Orlando. When I came back, she already knew I was coming to pick the dog up. So, when I told her, "Hey, you home. I'm coming to get the dog." She was like, "Oh, you're not getting your dog back. Like, the dog gone." Like, I'm >> She sold the dog. >> She was like, "I'm keeping the dog." >> So, now she's just giving me all this runaround. Like so basically she like sold my dog >> about the dog. >> Is she here? >> I don't know. >> Yeah, she in there. >> Not trying to answer bad ass in there and she paperwork on my dog. >> I spent like a lot of money on my dog. >> What apartment? >> Upstairs. >> What's miss police? >> I can hear you in there. West Palm Beach Police. >> How do you go about getting the search warrant to go in there? >> You're not getting a search warrant for a dog, man. >> A dog is like a child, though. >> I'm sorry. >> A dog is like a child. >> A dog is not a child. A dog is an animal. >> A family member. >> All right. >> So, tell me why. >> Okay. So, she came over to do my son's hair. I asked her, "Can she do their hair?" Cuz she retwists. That's like her little side gig. Okay. She >> came over. I told her that I had a family emergency going on in Orlando. >> And I was kind of making a joke about it cuz the dog was at my house barking. So, I was like, "Kira, you want to watch a dog for me for a couple days?" >> And she was like, "Yeah, who you talking about, Dior or Christian?" I said, "Dior?" >> And she was like, "Yeah, [ __ ] I need I live by myself. I need somebody to keep me company." So, I was like, "For real? Are you serious? Cuz I'll give you some money." gave her. >> The silence, the stonewalling, the flatout refusal to talk. Kira's behavior made it crystal clear this wasn't some mixup. Instead of explaining herself, she dodged and deflected, hinting that she'd already set her sights on keeping that dog. It smelled less like confusion and more like a plan. >> So, I bought the the biggest bag of dog food. I bought waters of uh bottles of water cuz I told her I was like, I give my dog like the good [ __ ] I don't just give them tap water and stuff like that. So, we went to Publix, got all that stuff, and I told her, I said, "Listen, I'm going to be gone for 7 days, though. Is that okay? Like, let me know if she's too much. I'll have my dad come pick her up." Cuz my dad already has the the boy dog. >> Mhm. >> So, she was like, "No, sis, you good. Like, don't worry about it." So, every day I was writing her, asking her, "Is she okay? Do they need anything?" She asked me for $20 for whatever she I don't know what she needed it for. I sent her the $20 cuz I was like, you know, you doing me a favor? >> Like, of course, I'll send you whatever you need. And you have documentation that you sent her the $20. >> How did you send it? >> I sent it on cash app. I sent I have the text messages and everything. And she was like, um, yeah, she she needed she needed water cuz I was like, "How you guys doing? You guys all right?" And she was like, "Yeah, we good." But the dog needed some water. So when I get a ride, I'm going go get her some water cuz I try to give her the tap water. She's been throwing up. But she Yeah, she good. I was like, "Oh, yeah." I was like, "She could drink tap water. She ain't never throwing up from tap water, but you could give her tap water, but I'm going to get her anyway, so don't worry about it. You home?" Mh. >> And she was like, she wrote me back literally and was like, "Oh, you're not getting your dog back." >> Mhm. >> You just through text messages? Yes. >> And you still have those text messages? >> Yes. And I sent it to you. >> And she was like, "Oh, you're not getting your dog back." And you So, no need to get her her shots. >> Okay. >> So, I'm driving on 95 coming from Boa from my job. And I'm like >> Mhm. >> like my heart dropped. No, this was on on Friday. >> On Friday. >> So, my heart dropped cuz I'm like I know she maybe she mean to write it that way. Yeah. >> So, I'm calling her. She's not answering her phone. Now she's sending me the voicemail. So I text her. I said, "Kira, with a question mark, question mark, you telling me you're not giving me my dog back?" And she writes me back and she's like, "Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. You gave me the dog." Now she's trying to say that so that it's cuz she's not dumb. Obviously, she wants to have it documented saying that she's saying that I gave her the dog. >> I never gave her the dog. I would never give her my dog. This is a dog that I've had for four years going on 5 years. >> You have the papers out right there? >> Yes. And I have I I can get the other papers where like I've taken the dog to the vet. I can show what what I paid for the dog. All of that. Like I bought the dog $5,000. I have the receipt. >> The dogsitting agreement and Tiffany's proof of ownership sealed the deal. Kira's actions showed she wasn't just careless. She twisted trust into an opportunity to cash in. That's the classic mindset of someone who puts greed above decency. >> You want to answer the phone yesterday? >> You called me yesterday. >> Hm. >> You called me yesterday. >> Called you yesterday. Was at your door yesterday. Let me crush your report. >> I wasn't here yesterday. >> You wasn't here yesterday? >> Okay. All right. Mind talking to me real quick? >> Yes. >> All right. >> Well, I'm just I mean I mind talking to you. I'm not going to run nothing. >> No, I'm saying that's what I'm saying. Do you mind? >> I just I just letting you know that I'm um order the Uber thing. >> Order what Uber thing? >> The little um circuit car thing. So, I don't know when it's going to pull up. >> All right. So, Miss Green, do you know why I'm here? >> Um for the dog. >> Okay. What dog? >> Well, I'm Tiffany dog. >> Tiffany dog. What? What? What's going on with Tiffany's dog? >> She gave me a dog last month. >> Okay. >> She gave me um a Frenchie dog last month. >> Okay. >> She literally gave it to me. She picked me up. That's my brother's baby mama. >> Okay. >> Um she picked me up to do this. >> I'm getting scared. >> Okay, you're fine. This just we This is This is routine. All right. >> This is Officer Ramirez. He He comes He helps me out. He He hear me going out with somebody. He going to come over here regardless. I'm doing my nephew's hair. She had the two dogs in there or whatever. The dog was barking really bad, which that's not the problem of this cancer or whatever. Well, the dog was barking really bad. So, when she came back home, she was like, "Kira, do you want a dog?" And I was like, "Yeah, I want a dog." But, you know, I can't have a dog because I'm literally on housing for real. I'm I'm on housing. I've been here for 4 year. I've been here for 4 years. >> Um, >> when she she gave me the dog and the whole the whole ride here from Lashiashi to back here, she was like, "Um, yeah, girl. I'm getting tired of this mfing dog. I don't want this beat. She was calling a dog a beat. I don't want this beat. That's all she do is bark and s up my house like poop poop around her house. >> So I was just like, um, okay, cool. Cuz my landlord son live right next I promise to god I told her this. Um, officer I don't know your name, but >> Officer Bell. >> Officer Bell. I'm on house. My landlord son live right next door to me. I don't have the dog. The dog was already barking crazy. You feel me? and and my order was >> Kira tried to spin it claiming Tiffany had given her the dog but come on who says they can't take care of a pet yet still keeps it as a gift that excuse was sloppy desperate and screamed self-denial >> I got to know that the dog ran away I don't know what's going on she think I sold the dog and everything but I got friends that's helped me with everything I don't have if y'all want to take a walk a look in my house my house don't smell like no dog it's nothing to do with no dog it's nothing in my house about no dog I don't know I have a fake necklace on my neck. I don't know what's wrong with her. Like they on drugs and they keep bothering me. I'm in this church, sir. >> Literally, I go to church every Sunday on my way to church right now. If if I'm able to go to the church because I help them with the um with the pantry every Thursday. I'm the secretary of the Sunday school. I'm literally with I'm literally with Christ, sir. Like in real life, I'm with the Christ and they trying to they messing with my mental. >> Like I'm not calling these lady. I'm not I can't get nobody to have a car. >> Mhm. Like I'm not messing with these girls or nothing. And the the other one is my blood ass sister. Excuse my language. >> Tequita is my sister. >> Is your sister? >> My blood sister. >> She is the one that started all this because there she's on drugs. >> And she's been like this and with me all my life, like all our life. I'm going to be 37 next Saturday. >> Mhm. >> Everything that she know that's good that's going on with me. She starts stuff with me all the time. And that's the honest to God truth. I'm going to be 30. Something that my sister is telling her, sir. That's the god honest truth. My sister is the root of all of this. >> So what? Um so you said she did give you the dog cuz she was tired of it. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. What color was the dog? >> Um it was gray. I think it was like Yeah. Gray. >> It was gray. >> It was Was it in the other color? You said it was a French. >> Mhm. It was just gray. I don't know if it was had a color underneath or what cuz I never like turned it over. So I don't know if it was like a different color, but I know it was gray. >> Okay. Um and you said she called you. Did she ever ask for the dog back or >> No, she came. Okay, I'm so sorry cuz I'm trying to talk fast because my thing about to pull up and Okay, >> I'm already hypertension. So, if you think I'm just jittery, I'm hypertention. You >> good with me? I'm fine. >> I got high blood pressure and everything. So, >> I'm fine. >> When she started deleting texts and fumbling through her story, the cracks got bigger. That's the thing about cover-ups. Every lie drags another one behind it until the whole story collapses. >> She never she mentioned it all. She just says she had to give him shot. give her shots or something, but she never even tried to come upstairs and look for the dog or nothing cuz the dog was upstairs at the time, but the dog ran away. And I told Tiffany that I don't know why they starting this big old commotion. I don't have any money, but the money that's in my wallet and that's like >> $11. I don't know what's going I don't got no bank account or nothing. It's nothing in my house brand new. >> But the AC and the um the landlord just gave me the AC because my AC went out. >> So, did you ever text her and tell her um that you wanted to keep the dog? She already had already already gave a text. It was a lot of text messages. It was a lot of text messages. But after she started threatening me after they started being with the crazy stuff, I delete that stuff out my phone cuz I'm in a church. I cannot be doing all that, sir. >> They they want to bring this stuff to my church on Sunday and everything. Like I cannot be doing all that. >> Like I'm literally in the church. I just got saved and it's just like since I got saved, they just been effing with me the whole time. And I'm getting agitated. I'm sorry for like if I have an attitude, but you don't. >> I don't know what's all of this is about. >> I have all of my neighbor these people see me every day. They don't hear no dog. They don't see no dogs. >> Everybody around here, these ladies been to my boyfriend's job is honest to God. >> Mhm. >> I don't know what they told you or y'all. I don't know, but yesterday they went all to my boyfriend job. He don't have nothing to do with this. Mhm. >> He don't even know them. >> Who is your boyfriend? >> His name is Emanuel. But they went to Sir, I'm so sorry. >> You got any other weapons on you beside the >> Oh, no. This this just my Put your hand. >> You can leave, sir. Can I Can I please just have somebody come get my keys for my house? >> No, I'll go with you. That's the best place. Best place for him. I'm going to put you in two cups. All right. So, it's easier for you. >> In the end, the cuffs came out. Kira was booked for grand theft, a felony, for snatching that $5,000 French bulldog. If convicted, she's staring down fines, restitution, and possibly prison time. The final call rests with the court. On January 18th, 2023, police received a strange 911 call. The line suddenly went dead, but not before capturing the sound of chaotic screaming in the background. Fearing something serious had happened, officers rushed to the scene. But when the door finally opened, what awaited them was far more complicated than they had imagined. >> A frozen family. And then >> who else is in the house? >> Me and my two my >> You mind if we come in then? >> You got to excuse me. >> Okay, that's fine. >> His girlfriend and my uh her friend >> and my grandkids, but that's it. >> It was me and this other girl upstairs. Okay. his sister's friend. >> We kind of got into an argument. That's how the argument started. >> All right. >> So, to be honest, it was happening all fast. I was worried about the kids out on the floor, so I picked them up before. >> So, when I came back, his hand was already bleeding. >> Okay. So, you didn't see what happened with the knife? >> No, I didn't. >> Did you know he had a knife at all? >> Huh? No. >> Okay. Who was he arguing with? >> Um, to be honest, we were He was arguing with everybody. Everybody was arguing with him >> about what? >> I don't know. Literally, we had just woke up. It's like 5:00 in the morning. really. >> Okay. But you said he was arguing with another female. >> No, I was arguing. >> Okay. >> So, you guys were arguing tonight, >> huh? No, not me and my boyfriend. >> Okay. Fill me in. What happened? >> So, we woke up. It was like 4 something >> and me and this girl started arguing with his sister's friend. We only started arguing cuz she kept saying stuff about my boyfriend and about her boyfriend. So, we were arguing >> and you do me a favor. Can you take your hand out your pocket? >> Sorry. I appreciate it. >> To be honest, yeah, that's really all I know is that we were arguing. I don't know who he was arguing. I think he was arguing with a black guy. >> Okay. >> And after they started arguing, I picked up the kids and I took them into the room. >> Who's the one that's hurt? >> My boyfriend. >> You all right? >> Yeah. I'm pregnant. >> Yeah. How far along? >> I'm going to be 4 months. >> You don't need all this excitement. >> Last year. >> When did you cut your hand? >> Huh? Well, >> a little bit ago. >> This is recent. >> It's a lot of blood for a slip of a knife. Yeah. Put the blood all over the mirror. Smeared. >> He went like this. Copy. >> That doesn't equal smears and splattering. >> Why'd you smear it all over the all over the mirror then? >> All this right here. >> Instead of relying on force, police chose to listen and gather multiple sources of information. As the statements grew more contradictory, it became clear the incident was more likely an assault than an accident. By separating individuals for questioning, officers were able to uncover truths that had been carefully hidden. >> Did you see Junior at all before the argument or anything? >> His brother? >> Yeah. >> I didn't know that he was arguing with Junior. >> Okay. Well, I'm just trying to figure out who's arguing with who cuz Junior apparently left, but I have an officer on the backside saying that they see a male upstairs who's not the uh father. >> So, yeah. See, I'm not sure. >> Okay. Did during the argument, did you hear any sort of threats or anything like that? >> No. Um, during the argument, they were literally just arguing to each other. I grabbed the kids and ran to this room. >> Okay. Why'd you run with the kids in the room, though? >> Cuz they were arguing. There's There's two guys. They're getting like They're not They weren't getting physical with each other, but they were yelling at each other. >> I hid because I was scared. But you going to lie. Are you sure? >> Go get her cuz that's the one I was arguing with. You hear her mouth? That's exactly who I was arguing with that one >> cuz she's there yelling at my mom. It's not cool. SOME HARASSMENT TO BE QUIETIZATION AGAINST YOU. THE POLICE YOU [ __ ] UP WITH A REAL POLITICIAN, [ __ ] SO WHAT'S THAT?

This is This is her name. This is a drug. I'm Jano. >> Ask them what's her name. >> What's your name again? >> Jano. HER NAME. ASK THEM. Ask them what's their name. >> Rather than cooperate, the young woman grew arrogant. Convinced she could control the situation. She taunted officers, twisted the facts, and used insults as a psychological weapon. This went far beyond an emotional outburst. It became a deliberate strategy to unnerve police and distract them from the real investigation. >> Criminals against me. >> They do drugs. They They sell drugs. >> Go away. Come to our rescue. Okay. Please go away. >> And you arrest me. You arrest me for what? For what? >> You're obstructing this. This is an investigation. You need to leave. >> Investigate them. >> You need to leave.

Are you touching me? >> I'm going to arrest you in two seconds if you don't leave. >> I'll call you right now. >> Stand up. There we go. Get the [ __ ] off. Get the [ __ ] off. >> Junior eventually admitted a fight had taken place and the truth started to surface. In contrast, she tried to shift blame, accusing her family of being drug dealers, exposing her own lies. When her excuses collapsed, desperation set in. She began begging officers to arrest her. >> I booked a lift. I BOOKED A LIFT. I paid for all cash. >> Three. One. >> Three, two, one. I asked him, "Why are you arrest?" >> No. Ask him for right. Are you serious right now? >> Yep. >> Okay. Do you want me to stay here and wait for ask for my right?

He said he not going to let me go in the house. I'm not lying. I'm not lying. My ride's on 28th. I'm told a lawful order over and I don't know here. I don't know this way. I don't know this way. >> Stop turning towards me. >> I don't know this way. I don't know. >> I don't know this way. I don't know where I'm at. That's why anymore. >> I said I'm going home.

She whacked my head so hard right there. She like left all let her all of her body weight just go dead and it pulled my ass into the >> woman refused to accept fault, clinging to lies as if they could save her. Junior too tried to shield his brother by lying about the injury, but in the end, the truth couldn't stay buried. Meanwhile, she kept resisting, showing she had no grasp of the consequences of her actions. >> I got it, bro. >> God damn it. God damn it, bro. >> Junior, you got ID? >> I No, I don't, bro. I lost it. >> Hey, when we get in here, can you roll this window up? Turn the heater on for me, please. >> Heater's on right now. >> All right. >> You get warmer than that. >> It's my car. I stay cold, too. >> It's your car? >> Yeah. I get it. >> Hey, can you get her number for me? I need that. My partner will work on it. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to touch. Grab a mug. >> Listen, look at me. >> Hey, I'm I'm just telling you what I know so far. Okay. And then we can talk after >> my little brother. Okay. I don't mean to cut you off, but my little brother on his drink. >> You drink a little bit. >> I >> So, I don't know how much is a little bit or what? >> I fell down the stairs. >> I hit my little brother in the head. >> That's what he said. And then you >> And look at my forehead, bro. >> Yeah, it's gashed up pretty good. But who hit who in the head? But I fell down the stairs though. That's my baby brother. >> All right. Listen. And then he said he took a mug and hit you in the face with it. >> He said that? >> Yep. >> I don't remember that. I remember falling down stairs. >> Okay. >> Well, you see I have two conflicting stories, right? >> Yeah. But >> what's that mean? >> I know what it means. But >> and I know what it means, too.

And you didn't do nothing. And you chased the [ __ ] and the [ __ ] got away from you, punk. >> Yeah, >> I knew it was her. >> I'll give I can get away by the way. I can't. >> Hey, you're stronger than him. He's a sucker. He's stronger than you. >> In the end, Dona and Junior were both arrested on separate charges. Dona was charged with obstructing justice, facing up to a year in jail and/or fines. Junior was charged with simple assault for injuring his brother, a misdemeanor carrying up to a year in jail, fines, probation, or mandatory anger management programs. On September 11th, 2023, what looked like a petty theft at J C Penney spun out of control. The suspect, an 18-year-old woman, was caught stuffing $147 worth of merchandise. But when security confronted her, she fought back hard, forcing them to call the cops. >> Getting one of the makeup items out. And then she kind of just made her way around this area, like this junior, picking up random stuff. um use the fitt room twice and that's where she concealed. >> Okay. >> So, she would pick certain things, go in there. The first time she concealed a shirt, underwear, um and a bra and she ripped the tags off, put them in the Dickies pants that she had and just hung it up there. Um then came back around, walked the entire store again, picked out more items, went back in, concealed more items. >> Okay. She's ripping t everything's >> for the most part. Okay. >> So, yeah. >> And then explain how that was when you stopped her. >> Um, so at first she was denying stuff. I told her where I was. She penny ass protection. Asked her where she did with the stuff. Um, she kept denying stuff. Kept denying stuff. She was like, "Oh, I'll just show you. I'll just show you." Um, real antsy and like came back in here. And I'm like, "No, like just come into the office with us." And then once we came in, she >> What' she do? uh she's just fancy and wouldn't wouldn't tell us where the stuff was at. And then finally she was like, "Okay, okay." Like I got it and she took it out of her bag, gave us all the stuff. Uh we did have to go look for like the box for like elf and stuff. >> Mhm. >> Um the tags and we were able to recover cuz she would just stick them in the pants that she didn't want. >> Um and I kept trying to go for her bag. So she'd be chill and then she would start freaking out talking about I can't get in trouble. I'm in the military things like that and then she tried to go for a bag and >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So she tense brace when you guys had control of her with when you guys like brought her into custody, right? Your productive custody because of the shop, right? >> Yeah. She tries to kind of evade you guys at all. >> Yes, >> she did. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Can you elaborate on how that was? I'm just trying to if we can we're in charge of that. Um >> uh she just kept trying to reach for the bag. So we were thinking that it's not so much something. Okay. >> Yeah. It's not so much that she would go. >> She wasn't very cooperative afterwards, right? >> Yeah. >> She just the reaching for the bag part cuz you don't know. >> Store employees told police this wasn't some impulsive grab. It was planned. A clear pattern of theft was there. And when she snatched her bag back as officers arrived, it showed she understood the stakes yet still chose to resist. So God, I heard that something was going on between you guys before I got here. Is arguing or whatever, fighting and stuff. Listen, um, if you're cool with me, I'll be cool with you. So don't play any silly games or [ __ ] like that, cuz I don't want you getting yourself into more trouble than you could possibly be in. >> You don't want to get in trouble once. I just joined the army. >> Okay. All right. Let's walk over here. You have any weapons on you? >> No weapons. Okay. So right now you're just detained, right? This doesn't mean you're going to jail. We got to work on this. I got to work on a couple things, okay? Just to figure out what's going on. Um, however, I need to ask you some questions pertaining to what happened, okay? Um, for that, I need to read you Miranda rights, okay? I need you to take a seat in my car, though. Meantime, you have nothing on you. >> Okay. Do me a favor. You're going to grab the side of your shirt and you're going to lift up a little bit. I just want to make sure there's nothing on your pockets that I can physically see. Okay. Now, turn around in a complete circle. Okay. There's nothing there. No. >> Okay. Obviously, I'm going to have a girl come check you out. So, take a seat. All right. So, I'm going to read you your Miranda rights. Okay. If you have any questions, just ask me what it means. Okay? Um I'm going to try to elaborate it for you while I read it to you just so that you you're on the same page. Okay? Have you ever read your rights before? All right. So, I'm going to elaborate for you while I read it to you. Okay? Um you have the right to remain with an attorney before you make a statement or answer any question and the right to have an attorney present during questioning. Okay? If you want an attorney but cannot afford to hire an attorney and won't be appointed to represent you before and during questioning free of charge, meaning that like you know public defenders, they're free. So if you need an attorney, before you want to talk to us, they're free. They'll they'll call you whenever and they'll figure that stuff out for you. Okay? Meaning that I will not ask you a question until there's one for you. You understand? Okay? Uh you may use any of these rights at any time before during questioning and you may stop the interview anytime. If you say that you want to talk, I ask you a question, you don't like that, you don't like that I asked, you don't want to answer it because you think it's going to get you in trouble, then don't say anything. You don't have to. You can stop right there. Be like, I'm done. Okay? It also gives you that option. Okay? Do you understand these rights? Okay. Are you willing to answer questions or make a statement without an attorney being present? >> So, like, are you willing to talk? Pretty much is what that means. Okay. >> Once her rights were read, the silence set in. She stopped lashing out and started thinking. Knowing her words could carry legal weight showed awareness. When she chose to answer without a lawyer, it signaled not just cooperation, but maybe a guilty conscience, too. >> Did you steal from the J C Penney here? >> Yes. >> You did? >> Why? You don't know? And you've done this before. This isn't the first time. >> I just went to a Walmart. Who showed up to that? PCPD or us? >> Um, not you guys. It was just like a >> Was it police from Plant City? Plant City Police Department. >> And it was the same. You had like a process you had to do to get out of there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. All right. We'll see how I'll try to see what I can do for you. Um you might qualify for us, you might not. Depends. Um but I I'm going to work on that right now. I'm going to turn the AC on so I don't overheat in here. Um I'm going to go finish my paperwork and figure it out for you. Right. >> Is there a way to get my phone to text and get somebody? Not right now, but when I'm done, we can we'll figure that out for you. All right. Everything's in there that you have no drugs in your bag. >> No, >> nothing like that. Just give me a couple minutes. All right. I'll turn the AC on for you. dealers. Does he speak English? All right. Is Is your mom do you live with your mom and dad or or either of them? >> I live with mom and dad. >> Okay. Can you Let's call your mom. All right. What's her her contact? >> Um go to just go to on the search ma. >> Okay. >> Does she speak English? >> Um no. >> No. Okay. >> At 18, with military service looming, her life was already heavy with pressure. Tension with her father was clear. His harsh tone held some truth, but it's possible she was subconsciously sabotaging her future, hoping theft would get her booted from the army before she even began. >> Leave the keys inside of the car. >> It's up to you. It's your car. You want to do that? We can do that. I can leave your stuff in the car, too. >> No, just leave my >> like I mean like your like personal belongings. I can put in your trunk or your car. So that So, put it this way. If you bring everything with you to jail, right, they're going to put it in some area where you're going to have to pick it up when you're out of jail. It's a pain in the butt. Okay. So if it's easier, leave it in your car with the car keys. So someone takes your car and brings it home. You can have all your stuff there and have to worry about it. Especially I won't throw your vape away. >> I don't care about >> Okay. So what do you want to do? >> Um I just want to keep my stuff. >> You want to keep your stuff with you? >> Okay. You want to put the keys in the car? >> Yeah. >> Okay. We're in the car to put it. We'll drive over to it, but tell me. >> I have a vape in there. I don't know if I can throw it away, too. I don't want my parents to >> I can hide it in your car for you if you want. >> Yeah. >> I don't give a [ __ ] >> Just like throw it out. Just throw >> You want to throw them away? Throw them away. All right, we'll do that for you. All right. All right. Anyone else you want to call real quick or is that it? We're good. No boyfriends. We're not calling boyfriends or anything like that. Like family that can pick up your stuff. >> Just my mom is >> All right. Is your dad Is your dad working right now or something? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, the keys, you can just leave them in the car. The vape. I just want >> Where you want me to put the keys in the car? >> Um >> somewhere not visible, right? >> Like on the little thingy on the side. >> On the door. Which side? Driver passenger side. >> Driver side. >> Okay. Where's the car? Where's the car at? >> By dealers. It's a blue Chevy. No, blue Silverado. >> Blue Silverado. >> 2018. >> All right. You drive that to and from here all the time. You get yourself in a little trouble. Don't do that. I understand. >> The officers balanced empathy with strategy, helping her manage small things like tossing her vape or arranging for her car. Those gestures built trust, lowered her defenses, and kept the situation from boiling over again. >> I'm just I'm not I wouldn't arrest you for something like that, but there there are cops out there that would. Okay. So, I don't want you to get yourself in trouble. Obviously, that's not what we're here for right now, but in the in the future, right? >> So, whenever I am released, I guess. How long is that? I don't know. >> Should be it should be within the night. >> So, long as everything goes well. Okay. Get another phone call from your dad. Answer it or no? Okay. What is he saying? >> He's He's just >> Okay. I heard penda. I heard Madre. All that [ __ ] So, what else is he saying besides swearing? >> Just to leave the um the keys in the car. >> Is he coming or after work? >> He's not. >> Okay. >> They don't want to. >> Okay. All right. So, we're going to figure this [ __ ] out. Okay. Um, we're going to drive over to the car and I'll put everything in there. We'll go from there. All right. I still have a girl coming to check you out sometime. She's coming. We're waiting on her. In the end, she was booked on charges of petty theft since the hall was under $500 and resisting her struggle with store security. Conviction could mean fines, probation, or even short jail time. And beyond the courtroom, her military career may be the biggest casualty. On February 29th, 2024, cops got a call from Walmart about a shoplifter in the act. When officers arrived, they found the suspect trying to sneak out the back door with baby clothes and hygiene products stuffed in her bag. From there, things got heated fast. >> Arrest, ma'am. >> Yeah. >> There you are. >> I have four. Stop. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. What? No. >> This is shoplifting. It's not that serious. Stop. >> I have a baby on here. >> Okay. Well, stop. >> Are you with her? Are you okay? >> No. This is >> There we go. >> We're not trying to hurt you, but you're resisting. No, we're not. >> That's precisely what you're doing. >> No, you just stole things and you don't want to cooperate. Okay. >> Sorry. >> WHY ARE YOU CUTTING MY HAIR? >> I'M NOT TRYING TO. WHY? >> RELAX, MAN. >> WHY ARE YOU BENDING IT? >> OKAY, YOU CAN calm down now. >> We're good. >> Did you get >> Thanks, man. Okay. >> I'm going to go. >> Is this yours? >> It's mine. >> Okay. >> I have nowhere to run. >> Y'all want to fight me so bad? >> Do it. Yes. Yes. Do it. Do it. out of it. >> BREAK IT. BREAK IT. >> I CANNOT WALK THROUGH MY CAR LIKE THAT. AND I WON'T. SO JUST BREAK IT. >> MY car front. My car's on the side. I know. >> Walk me correctly or I'm not going. >> Not your choice. WHY ARE YOU BENDING ME LIKE THAT? THAT'S NOT NECESSARY. >> Does this look LIKE A TO YOU? >> FIRST, she tried the slip out the back trick, but got caught red-handed. Instantly, she flipped the script. I'm pregnant. My arm hurts. Hoping the cops would cut her some slack. When that fell flat, she switched again from helpless victim to combative aggressor. Let me go. Let's go to the car. She's way too in my car. >> I don't know why we're watching. >> You're causing me physical pain. No, I'm not calming down. >> I did. I'm pretty sure I told you to. >> I have a baby to go home to. >> Well, not tonight. >> Does uh do you have evidence bags in the back? >> What a real piece of [ __ ] Stealing cleaning supplies and baby clothes. What a [ __ ] criminal. >> More covers. What was that? >> Okay. >> Last I checked, y'all weren't allowed to do that if you're a male. >> Wait, where did you check that? >> Can she search me? Cuz I don't want you touching me. I'm abused. Please stop touching me. >> Everything. That sounds funny. >> All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can will be used against you in a court of law. You have right to have an attorney or talk to one at this time or have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, one will be appointed to you if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any of my questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights as I have explained to you? Yes or no? You unzip this. Okay. Her anger boiled over once she realized she couldn't get away. She started yelling excuses, hinting that the theft was for her baby at home. It wasn't a confession, but it was her way of justifying what she'd done. >> Can you put my faith in with my belongings, please? That is mine. I paid for it. I want it back when all this is said and done. Thank you. They'll take her. I'll call for you. >> Yeah, if you want to call, I'll take and I'll work on a trespass >> and then um I already got the photo and stuff with just they I just need to get his statement. >> I'll get his statement site, send it to four, and I'll call HIS EMAIL. STOP. >> STOP. >> I'm never going to see my again. >> I thought it hobbles >> or leg restraints. Legs. >> Yeah. >> Be kicking like that. I would. Otherwise, it's going to be right here. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE A long three players. All three though, right? >> Yeah. >> So that's why I say Lego. >> Mine are right here on this side in my bag. >> Where's your house at? >> I'm going to tell you. >> Okay. Well, I need to know for the citation. >> I'm homeless. >> Okay. >> So, how are you going home to a baby if you're homeless? >> She's with her father. >> Okay, then she's she's somewhere safe. >> No, actually, she's not. Okay, he's a biological. >> One minute she claimed she had a baby waiting for her at home. The next minute she swore she was homeless. Her story tripped over itself so badly the cops didn't even need to press hard. It fell apart on its own. And when she ran out of personal excuses, she went full tilt. It's all society's fault. >> Otherwise, just relax and we'll go up to jail and it'll be really quick and easy. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I'm never going to see my again. What are you talking about? >> It's a basic shoplift. you would have complied with us from the very beginning. I'd have probably issued >> [ __ ] works for black people when we get put in handcuffs. >> Okay. Are you going to be are you going to continue to kick my my >> I want to go home and see my month old. >> Okay. Well, that's not an option right now. Okay. All righty. So, I'm going to ask that you relax and don't kick my seat cuz if you do, I'm going to have to be forced to place you under leg restraints to prevent you from possibly injuring yourself >> before. That does not bother me. >> Okay? I'm just letting you know. >> I've been in neck restraints. >> Okay? I'm not I'm just trying to deescalate the situation the best I can. Okay? >> Go stop. Go stop someone who's really mad and evil. I'm getting things for my >> This is still a crime. All right. It's not a victimous crime. >> Some stolen. Let's get started. >> So, are we going to continue to kick my chair? >> No. >> Okay. I appreciate that. >> Lost guy. >> Is it John? >> No, it wasn't John this time. It was the other uh the guy you're like, "Who are you?" That guy. >> Yeah. >> John. >> Oh, that guy. >> We came out with her and he said something like, "Uh, >> thank you." He said, "Thank you." >> Said something weird to us and I was like, "Wait, are you losing?" >> Yeah. >> He was the one that ran out. >> The endless excuses were nothing but a desperate attempt to dodge reality. But the officers stayed cool, kept order, and pulled the whole mess back under the rule of law. Once she realized there was no talking her way out, she finally gave in. So, what happened? >> So, from here, I will be booking you into jail where you'll be able to see a judge uh tomorrow and you'll have a bail amount to get out of get out of jail. >> Well, I don't have bail. I don't have money. I can't even call my baby dad. I'm going to chew through my Idol. I am not a mentally stable person. You don't even know who you have in the back of your car right now. And I'm also on methadone. So I will sit here and withdraw as >> they have that available at the jail. >> Do a day in for that. I have a bundle >> like me to make that phone call for you. Okay. Give me one second and I will you know I'll get to you just one second. Okay. Baby's >> I'm in the back of a cop car and I'm going to jail cuz I'm at Walmart and I got caught stealing. >> Where? Which ones? >> It doesn't matter. The Walmart. >> No. What's the jail? >> I don't know. >> Should be going to score, sir. >> Up in De Mo. >> Thank you. Um All right. Um All right. Thank you. >> All right. [ __ ] All right. Okay. Um, >> yes. Um, >> he said I have to stay tonight and I have to talk to a judge tomorrow and if I don't get bail, I'm >> How much do you know how much you bail? >> I don't know. >> It's going to be $2,000 >> or or bond >> or bondsman. Yeah. >> Uh, you stuff quick. and around this way. Mr. Tractor, this is a trespass notice. You're not you're not allowed to go back into that Walmart for the next 3 years. Okay. >> In the end, she was arrested and hit with thirdderee theft and resisting arrest. She was hauled off to jail and will now have to face a judge. If convicted, she's looking at up to 364 days behind bars and or a fine up to $5,000. On top of that, she's permanently banned from the store. On April 6th, 2022, police were called about a theft at Lowe's. The suspect, Jennifer, was tracked all the way back to her home after swiping a load of plants. When officers showed up to make the arrest and recover the stolen goods, the situation escalated in a heartbeat. >> Hands up. Shut the car off. Shut the car off here. Step out. Step out. Over here. Over here. Over here. Put the cigarette out. >> No, I'm not. >> Put the cigarette out. Put the >> Put your hand behind your back. I'm smoking. Put your hands behind your back. >> No, I'm smoking a cigarette, you guys. >> Put your hands behind your back. May I >> Put your hands behind your back. I want to smoke a cigar. Put your hands behind your back. >> I put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. Give me your other hand. That's all you need to do. What's going on? Yeah, I'm just trying to >> here. >> What's going on? >> They're following me. They're harassing me. >> What is going on? >> Mom, I'M BEING TARGETED IN SURVEILLANCE by a community. >> Here. Roll on your knees. Roll on your knees. Roll on your knees. >> Set up. Set up. Set up. We'll talk to a minute. We're going to wait for her to get back to the house. >> Listen, you made it. I'm calm down. Calm down. >> Calm down. >> I'm going to prison. >> You need to tell the truth. I've been telling you, Mom. I've been telling you. >> Jennifer, please calm down. >> All right. >> We'll be right back. >> Okay. Good job. >> Listen, we'll be back in just a second. Just give us a second. She going to have a car so she can calm down. >> So, what is that I'm hearing? I have a trailer full of plants. >> I see right there. All the way in. All the way in, please. All right. What are you What are you saying? You're being surveiled. What was that about? I'm just curious. Is that >> So, for the longest I've been calling and saying how I'm being stopped. >> Oh, calling us. Okay. I thought you meant right now. So, I was just making sure >> No, I am. No, I am. Okay. I feel like I'm a part of some freaking uh Listen, it's organized crime. I am a targeted individual and I've been telling you guys that for a long time. Okay. >> Her first move, deny everything and spin a wild conspiracy tale. Claiming she'd been targeted, she painted herself as the victim of some outside force pulling the strings. It was classic self-d delusion, a mental trick to dodge guilt and separate herself from the cold, hard truth. >> This is believed to be all stolen. >> So, we're just investigating theft of stuff from Lowe's. >> So, we're under the impression this might be >> trailer mine. All right. >> We're under here about the plants. The plants might be stolen. Can you stop and be for real? You guys know what the is going on. >> We were not there. Take me. >> Mom, what is going on? >> Turn around. >> You did this to me. You did this to me. >> You did this to me. >> You guys are actually going to [ __ ] take those plants. They can't pay me what I already have purchased for what they've done and what they did right as I'm [ __ ] They're dumb. Oh, hey, count them up. I bought them. I bought them. Yeah, I got twoing receipts, paperwork locked up. I'm going to need it for this one. Stupiding plants for the environment and I get ridiculed, persecuted, raped, thrown out on the streets, and thrown on my face. All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anthony, do you understand each of these rights I have explained to you? >> Yes. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. What happened today? >> I went to go and pick up some plants that I paid for. >> Okay. >> And it's just for two days now. I I initially dealt with Lowe's, went and bought a set of I don't understand why they're even taking them. >> Yeah. When did you pay for them >> for any specific ones? When did you pay for them? Today when? >> Yeah, today. Right when I got Right. Before I went and got the trailer. >> Okay. >> Listen, these people are whacked. >> Okay. Um, do you have proof that you paid for him? >> Yeah, I certainly do. >> Where is it? >> I said my mom's credit card statement. >> Where's mom? >> In the house. >> Which credit card did you use? Lowe's. >> Lowe's. She has a Lowe's credit card. >> Even when cops flat out told her they'd seen the video, she doubled down, swearing she was innocent and had proof. The catch, that so-called proof was the very footage of her swapping plants for gift cards, then heading right back to grab more. Her denial sounded more like a backhanded confession. >> Are you dad? >> Are you dad? >> I said, I can't understand my granddaughter doing the card and everything to pay for. I give her >> She's wrong. I give her my Home Depot card. I give her my uh Lowe's card to go pick up some shrubs. >> Do you have your Lowe's card? >> No, she doesn't. And I asked the police.

She's called staff the n-word. >> My My daughter >> Does she have a drug problem? >> She has got >> She got No, not she. No, she hears voices. >> Testimony from her mother and grandfather shed light on the bigger picture. The family admitted they had the money to buy plants, but it didn't stop her behavior. The real problem wasn't needed. It was her mental state. Jennifer admitted to hearing voices and her actions grew more erratic by the day. >> Were worth it. Y'all's jobs are gone cuz you GOING TO REVIEW THE VIDEO WHERE you'reing with me. >> Oh, but I bet you erase that [ __ ] right? >> I didn't pay for aing THING. I GOT IN EXCHANGE.

The problem is >> Listen, I've been being stalked >> by who? >> By the government. >> Okay. All righty. >> Grandpa, Listen, I'm out on B. >> It's going to be violated. >> Please. >> Okay.

Please, just take a seat. I'm going to put a seat belt on you. All right, turn around. Face the other way. >> Her scattered, paranoid statements after the arrest revealed just how far gone she was. With her mom tied up in credit card drama and her grandfather forced to witness this breakdown, the theft wasn't just a crime. It was a heartbreaking glimpse into untreated mental illness. >> Mom, DON'T LET HIM IN MY CAR, YOU [ __ ] [ __ ] MOM, GET HIM OUT OF MYING TRUCK. GET HIM OUT OF MY TRUCK. THESE [ __ ] ARE AFTER ME. GET THE OUT OF MY TRUCK. YOU HAVE NO [ __ ] RIGHT. SO, WHAT'S GOING ON? >> I wouldn't go back to Lowe's again. Number one. >> Okay, I plan on it. Okay. >> Nothing. I don't care.

YOU GUYS ALLOWED in our community. >> I have no IDEA WHAT >> YEAH, WHATEVER. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M talking about. >> What am I talking about? >> Can you explain it to me? >> Yeah. Organized crime. YOU GUYS, THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE MONEY FOR YOU GUYS. >> WHAT? >> YEAH. You guys have been THROWING ME IN JAIL since 2000. God dang 14. >> So whose problem is that? >> I'm Oh my god. I'm telling you, you guys threw me in prison and made me serve 100% of this time that I've already served. And once that happened, you guys knew and it was county that THAT WAS A BIG PROBLEM.

I was being discriminated against. >> No, you called people the nword who are employed. >> No, I didn't. >> Okay. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. >> In the end, Jennifer was hauled off to jail and charged with grand theft since the stolen goods topped $1,000. If convicted, she faces prison, probation, restitution, and possibly even extra charges for resisting. But the bigger question lingers, where's the line between crime and mental illness? And how should the justice system deal with someone caught in that gray zone? On August 22nd, 2023, police responded to a report of an assault. The suspect had attacked a staff member, punched them in the face, and then jumped onto their vehicle to stop them from leaving. Because of this violent behavior, police intervention was necessary to deescalate the situation and restrain the suspect. trying to pull off. I was trying to get the staff to pull off caring that got punched in the face left. >> She was trying to leave. >> Uh, so this is her right here. >> And Kayla jumped on the car as she was pulling off. And so we can't she can't leave. She can't go anywhere. But she just attacked. >> What are you What are you so upset about? >> I don't want to talk to you, brother. >> Why don't you want to talk to me? >> I don't want to talk to you cuz you can roll it down so I can talk to you. >> Do you have any injuries? >> No, I'm sure. >> You sure? Basically what she said she just started whailing around here. >> You want the charges? >> I don't want to. >> Okay. >> Um if she trying to she get in >> if she hit me. >> Get out of the car. >> Come on. Get out. >> Come on. >> Get out. >> Don't touch me. >> Get out of the car. >> Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> I got you. You okay? >> I got I got her right arm. Put your hand behind your back. The suspect was taken down and handcuffed, but things quickly spiraled out of control. Out of nowhere, she threw a brutal kick straight into the face of a female officer who immediately feared her nose was broken. Instead of calming down once cuffed, she kept screaming, resisting violently, and hurling threats non-stop. >> She Okay. >> She has roll on her side. 2051. Dispatch, >> sit down. >> My tooth. >> Which one? >> I don't know. >> Yeah, it should be. >> Teeth look fine. >> I don't think I can check. My nose feels so weird. >> Way to go >> again. >> Now you got Now you're going to [ __ ] jail. >> Yeah, the DA just drops her charges anyway. >> [ __ ] kick the cop. How old is she? >> She's old enough. >> Good. >> They just never charge her. >> Just stay on her legs. Just No, no, no, no, no. Stop. Get off me. >> 51, if you could send us a couple more, please. >> Stay there. >> What the [ __ ] IS YOUR STOP? >> NO. GET OFF OF ME. >> NO. You about to get pepper sprayed. >> Get off of me. >> No. No. >> Get off of me. >> Anybody have a cage? >> No. >> Get off of me. Get off of me. Get off of me. >> Wagon coming. We off. >> The sudden kick left the officer stunned and in pain, forcing her partners to tighten their grip on the suspect. As her aggressive resistance dragged on, officers had no choice but to use stronger measures to regain control. >> Get off of me. Get off of me. >> No off. >> Get the off me. I'MMA HAVE MY DADDY PULL UP ON Y'ALL, BRO. I'mma have my uncle pull up on y'all. Y'all all go get shot. Oh god. No more up here. >> Broken. Uh, it's not really bleeding that bad. Let's just get a rag. I don't know. Maybe an ice pack. >> Are we going to take you to the hospital? >> Sure. Don't think so. >> I don't know. That's for sure. Get off OF ME. GET OFF ME. Get off of me, bro. Get the [ __ ] off of me, bro. Get the [ __ ] off of me. Get off of me. >> No. >> Get the off me. I ain't DO NOTHING WRONG, BRO. >> UH, YEAH. You punched somebody and you kicked a cop in the face. >> She was coming after me.

Get the off. >> GET OFF ME. GET THE [ __ ] OFF OF ME. GET OFF ME. >> BRO, get the off me, bro. Get off of me. Get the off of me. Sergeant's on the way, but she did have a seizure. >> No, this person here. >> Even after being restrained, she still wouldn't stop fighting as they tried to load her into the patrol car. In the middle of her thrashing, she suddenly bit an officer's hand. This wasn't just dangerous. It proved she was willing to do absolutely anything to avoid being arrested. GET OFF OF ME. GET THE OFF OF ME. GET OFF OF ME, BRO. This is kind of >> Oh, sorry. Your night's going this way. >> Y'all hurting me, bro. Get off of me. >> Get off of me, bro. me. Let me go. Let me go. Why you talking me, bro? You're choking me. GET THE OFF. Get the off me. Get the off me. Get off of me, BRO. >> Get off of me, bro. >> Hold on. Go on. Get off me. >> Get the off of me.

Pull your feet in the wagon. >> Get in the wagon. Going to get sprayed again. Get the bag. >> Thankfully, medical checks confirmed the officer's nose wasn't broken. But that was only the beginning. Soon after, officers sat down to seriously review the long list of charges against Kayla as her reckless and violent behavior had gone way beyond the line. >> You got his camera. >> Okay. my nose. It goes one direction and comes back. I've broken it three times. >> Oh, great. >> So, you're doing >> It's my first bloody nose ever. >> Ever? >> Really? >> Ever in my life? Yeah. >> That's amazing. >> So, post tazing. She had like a 30-cond seizure. >> Does she still need to be transported to the hospital? >> She's got she's got to get checked out. >> I don't know how we're going to do that, but >> our ambulance is good with it, but >> let's just go to Mary's. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Put her on the bed. >> Is she okay? Yeah. >> You going with them or >> with who? Do I have to? Hospital. Do I have to? >> You don't have to though. >> Yeah. If they don't think it's broken. >> Doesn't look like it. >> You pinch up in this area. Does it feel like things are moving around? >> Seems pretty standing foot. >> Yeah, it feels fine. It's mostly like right here. It might flip. >> I don't think they're chipped, right? >> No. Wonderful. When you push your tongue, does anything move back and forth? No. Okay, good. >> This is the chick that climbed the tower. >> Yeah. And and beat up Jenny >> and beat up this person and did this all the charges. >> Statement if you can. If you can't still I still got enough for what we have here. >> Thanks, guys. >> Thank you. >> It's my first bloody nose. It looks so good. >> In the end, she was booked into jail and formally charged with assaulting a police officer, a serious felony. While several other charges were dropped, her final sentence was 3 years of probation. This outcome came through a plea deal, showing just how complex the legal system can be.

On April 17th, 2022, police received a call about a woman who refused to leave her boyfriend's house after he told her to go. What began as a civil dispute suddenly escalated into domestic violence. By the time officers arrived, the situation had already taken an unexpected turn. >> Hey, how we doing? Good. >> I need one of you to talk to me. The other one talk to him. >> Can I let something? >> All right, ma'am. I need I need you to talk to him. >> What's going on? I knew trying to make me leave and I live here and he didn't have a problem till just now he talk and he's talking about me behind these people but he's saying that he wants me to leave but he just said that because I said something to him about talking about me behind my back and now he's telling me he wants me down. I'm not going. I live here. >> How long have you lived here? >> Uh for over a week now. He's not. It's just because he's talking like he's trying to help me. But if you don't bring me here, you should tell me that beforehand. Don't wait. And you steady cuz he called the cops like that. And no, he's not because I live here. And I let her stay with me for a few days. Said, "Okay." >> And anyway, I told the neighbors, "She's not my girlfriend." >> Okay. >> And that's what caused all. >> Okay. >> And she kept jump she kept jumping in the fish and everything up in her chest and I said, "I better call you." >> How long has she been here? >> Three days. >> That's it. Three days. >> I haven't broken any primary office. >> You need to tell me your story. I just told him I'm not >> He's going to be the primary one. >> I do nothing wrong. >> How long How long have you been here? >> For five minutes. >> No. >> How long have you seen him? Never stop. >> I have done nothing wrong. Why is everybody handling me? This mother over here shot off three shot three shotguns the other day. A man over here. >> Okay, that's very stressful. And this man is up saying that he don't want me here, but he didn't have a problem. >> How long have you stayed here? >> Over two over three weeks. >> Over three weeks. He says three days. >> I don't care what he said. >> You told me one week. >> He's lying. Okay. So, you just >> Oh, I just been back a week, but I was here before that. >> All my stuff's here. I have toothbrush here. I have belongs here. I have paperwork here. >> What kind? >> I'm not going anywhere. >> What kind of paper? >> This man over here shot a gun off three times and did not go to jail. >> All right. You're yelling at me and it's not going to yell. I'm not shooting the gun. I'm talking. I got I got freedom to speak. >> Instead of cooperating, she repeatedly brought up unrelated issues to distract from her own actions. A classic diversion tactic. This only made things more complicated, leaving officers struggling to address the real problem. At this point, negotiation efforts no longer work. >> Yes, he does. >> No, he doesn't. >> I'm going in to get my stuff and I'll go. >> Okay, you get you stop. >> I DON'T HAVE A GUN. DON'T MANHANDLE ME. I'M GOING in to get my stuff. Don't touch me. >> Don't walk past me. >> I'm not touching you.

Go get the killers, mother alone. Ignorant. >> Don't quit your goddamn day job. >> This is my day job. >> You ain't doing a good job. >> Okay. >> You going to let a man with a gun get away and you going to harass me cuz a man back here is just >> What am I What am I here for?

I'M TRYING TO GO IN. WHEN THE woman tried to go back inside the house, officers were forced to use minimal force to stop her, ensuring safety and enforcing lawful orders. Once she realized words weren't effective, she shifted to physical resistance while at the same time trying to paint herself as the victim, hoping to put psychological pressure on police. >> I don't have a property ban. >> What are y'all talking about? >> I didn't say that property. You back door. Y'all stupid. It was just about me over here. Not even a week ago with a gun shooting lady three times. And this man is not even law. Are y'all here harassing me? >> I'm not here for that. >> Really? >> You don't even know the goddamn truth. >> I'm not going nowhere. And you can't make me. >> That's not true. Can I show you why a problem? We can get in here now. Can I show you right here? >> Why can't go in the house? >> You're crazy, sir. I have not done anything. I swear I wouldn't hurt nobody. Why are y'all doing this to me? This man right here. I was in here back here working the other day. I've done nothing wrong. I don't care if y'all killed me. >> Stop. >> No. Stop. >> Stop. Stop touching ME HERE. Don't know [ __ ] know what I do. Don't touch me. >> Hey, YOU'RE GOING TO GET >> WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING ME, SIR? I'M NOT TOUCH. >> I LIVE HERE. >> YOU DON'T. >> YOU DON'T EITHER.

I'm not bothering you. trying to help take a big line and [ __ ] get upsett over there behind out over there and this man's calling the cops on me and y'all trying to jump on me.

You ain't seen his proof. >> I've been with you the whole time. >> I DON'T CARE. YOU HAVE NOT. YOU JUST GOT HERE. >> You don't even know how long I've been here. >> I meant to. >> You don't know nothing but what he told you. You're not listening to me. What would happen? >> Her behavior swung from aggression to desperation, showing the weight of stress pressing on her mindset. Meanwhile, police gathered statements from neighbors, and that testimony became the key. It confirmed that she was the one causing the disturbance, not an innocent victim, as she tried to claim. >> I seen him outside, and I asked him. I said, "Um, where's your girlfriend?" And, um, he was like, "Well, I think she's going somewhere or whatever." So, I said, "Well, okay then." So, he was like, "That's not my girlfriend." So I was like, >> "Okay, well I didn't know." So he was like, "Well, you don't even my girlfriend." >> Okay. Yeah. So I just like sat right here, drank my little soda, and that was it. >> And she just started calling off him. Okay. >> No, I get it. So it's just one of those things residents saying, "That's all." >> Yes, sir. >> You're a bad person. >> I didn't do anything wrong, B. Why is he doing that? Why are y'all doing this? Tell me if you're lying. Y'all get me in the and you're going to throw me in the street, too. You piss on me cuz y'all push me down and scared me and I pissed all over myself. >> Does that make you feel good? >> WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME? >> NO. >> OKAY. If you're not let me talk, I can't talk to you. >> I listen for reasons. >> Okay. Let's be reasonable right now. All right. >> You don't live here? >> Yes, I do live here. >> Okay. I'm proud to live here. >> Even the neighbor said you've only been here since middle of last week. >> The neighbors have never met me. I've been here. But no, but listen. And I've been here before and I haven't even came out of the house to bother anybody. I was out here helping this man in his yard and that's how they met me because I have not established residency here >> because I wasn't allowed to. >> Okay. What? That's not our fault. >> It's his fault because they wouldn't let me go in. >> No, no, no, no, no. That's >> So it doesn't matter. You don't know the truth because he tells you this. >> Okay. >> He's a liar and he would they wouldn't even let me show proof of what his problem was. They wouldn't let me allow ANY PROOF. I DON'T CARE. >> IT'S NOT IT'S NOT TRUE. WELL, this was going to happen. >> But I don't care. >> Okay. He can lock his doors. >> He can lock his door. Yes, he can. >> Okay.

It's not for him to tell me anything. This is not his property. >> All right, Miss Moore. Let's go. >> Go where? >> Uh, you got to leave from here. >> I'll leave right here. >> Officers issued a final warning, stressing that if she stayed any longer, she would be arrested. They even offered to help her retrieve personal items like her phone in an effort to diffuse tensions and resolve things peacefully, but she chose defiance, escalating the situation further. >> You're a liar and you know you are. >> I want my working phone. I'm not leaving him without a way to call anybody else. >> He knows it. >> I don't have to lie, sir. >> I can't leave him with no way to call anybody else. No. She's pissed all over me because you're officer. No. Y'all want evil. That's not mine. >> That's not my person. That's not I don't want I DON'T WANT NOTHING. LISTEN, >> I DON'T WANT TO TAKE PUT THIS back in your BAG OR YOU >> TAKE NOTHING to piss and himself. >> Put this back in the bag or you're going somewhere. >> That's not my stuff, sir. I'm not taking this stuff. >> Put this back in the bag or you're going somewhere. >> And I put it in here. This is not mine. I don't want it. I'm not taking nothing that don't belong with him and then say I took something belong. >> Okay, I get your stuff and let's go. >> I just want nothing in HERE FOR MY BAG. >> IT'S TIME TO GO. >> THIS is the last TIME I GO. I WANT MY PHONE. >> IT'S TIME TO GO. >> I want my phone. >> It's time to go. >> STOP. BRING ME MY PHONE, PLEASE. >> THAT'S THE LEAST you can do. I'm not I'm going, but I need my phone, please. I can't talk to nobody or nothing. Where >> Br? I JUST GOT IT. >> LET'S GO. STOP YELLING. LET'S GO. >> I don't know. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> Lying. >> Let's go. >> I'm right on the street. I'll be >> Let's go. >> Y'all suck fat. Right. >> You need to continue to go. >> No, I want my phone and I'm off his property. >> You need to continue to go over. >> LISTEN. OKAY. >> I'm going. >> I'm going. I'm going. >> That's it. >> We gave you We gave you ample amount of time. >> I haven't heard anything. I'm stopping. I'm stopping now. Please. I'm very upset. >> Listen. I'm sorry. >> Listen. We gave you ample amount of time. Okay. We gave you half amount of time. >> Okay. I'm not >> God damn. What did I do with >> I'm letting you go right right off the court. >> Um they will mail you the court dates. >> Hey, listen to me. I put your phone. >> Listen. Listen. >> No, you're you're good. >> Okay. >> In the end, the woman was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Penalties for this offense can include fines, short-term detention, or probation. Though officers released her at the scene, she would later receive a court summon by mail. On September 13th, 2023, police received a call from neighbors about a woman causing trouble, threatening people, and damaging property. Fearing for their safety, residents immediately dialed 911. When officers arrived on scene to investigate, the situation took an unexpected turn and quickly escalated. >> You already know everything. So even if YOU ARREST ME, IT'S DONE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IT IS DONE. If you're TRYING TO IN MY FACE, put your other arrest right now. >> Put the hand on your head. Put your other hand right now. I'm going to take the ground if you don't talk. >> Okay. Put me in the gun, >> lady. Put your other hand. >> Okay. Go ahead. Go ahead and do that. Arrest me. Arrest me right now. Arrest me right now. Arrest me right now. >> Arrest me right now.

So if you play with me that I will make sure everybody just keeps playing with me cuz that's what they've been doing my whole life. >> Okay. If I stand you up, are you going to keep acting like this? >> No. >> I don't really believe you right now. >> Okay, fine. >> So I'm going to wait for my partner over here to walk up and then we're going to stand you up. hand, >> sir. All right. You ready to stand up? >> Okay. So, I need my bag. >> Nope. You get your bag in a little bit. You want to stand up? >> There you go. >> Well, stand up. >> No. Wait. >> No. No. >> She didn't just resist. She kept taunting the officers over and over. Yet, the police stayed professional, refusing to react to her nonsense. They followed safety protocol by the book while handcuffing and restraining her. ironically even arresting her exactly the way she demanded. >> Okay, so I'm okay. No, I know. No, no. >> Told you when I got here. It's not a choice. >> Do not pull away. Do you understand? >> Okay. Okay. So, >> are you injured at all? >> Yes, I am. Cuz you guys are [ __ ] and you guys know it. You don't even >> I'm going to go talk to them. >> Where where are you injured at? >> Everywhere. Because that man tried to kill me and you know it. >> Okay. Where you said that you're injured. I need to know >> that fire. >> You already know everything because you are I just got here. >> No, if you're a police officer, you know everything. >> We were all just in the back playing music, right? Practicing for something. >> She was kicking your door is what I was told. >> She was I don't know if you want to follow me. She also broke the fence. >> Did she break anything up here? >> Okay. >> Yeah, she pulled. You guys willing to give me a statement on this thing? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Let's go look at the fence then. >> Hey, so I just want to let you know right now you are under arrest. Okay. >> No, I completely understand that. I'm not before this happened. >> Okay. >> When she was breaking all this stuff, did she say anything to you guys? >> Yes, I told you. >> She was pushing. She was kicking me. >> Did she kick one of you? >> She just kicked him. >> Did she kick you? >> She tried it, but I tell her, "Hey, I don't need Did she kick you? Did she kick you?" No. No. She tried that. >> She tried to kick you. Yeah. >> This one right here. Okay. Yeah, she just came and just >> We're going to move past the the gender equality stuff. Okay, we're going to focus on what's here. >> You guys live here? Is that a camera? >> Yeah. >> Can you tell us what's Can you just tell them what's going on? >> I know the officer took the officer took them down there. I just wanted to see if I could get any more information from you guys. the way. >> You know what? >> Make sure that ALL YOU GUYS ARE DEAD. >> If you lock the door, YOU GUYS ARE ALL DEAD. >> I'm going to call the police. >> The video evidence told the whole story. The neighbors weren't exaggerating. The woman wasn't just yelling. She was violent and destructive. That undeniable proof exposed a dangerous psychological state where rage mixed with hostility and troubling delusions. >> No, it doesn't matter if you live. It doesn't matter if I die. THE REASON WHY YOUR FAMILY IS ALSO DEAD. There's no home. You know why? Cuz you don't deserve. The reason why you LIVE IN THIS HOUSE WITH 10 people and I live in my house with one person ALL BY MYSELF. YOU GUYS ARE DEAD. YOU'RE DEAD. YOU'RE DEAD. YOU'RE DEAD. YOU GUYS ARE DEAD IN TWO SECONDS. WHOEVER HELL THIS IS. Go ahead. >> Okay. >> This is you can't even hit me. So hit me. That means I know for there's nothing. There's no help. There's no That's where you guys are all going. >> You guys ARE NOT EVEN CHRISTIAN. YOU GUYS ARE LIARS ANYMORE. >> There's no religion. GET RESTRAINING ORDER. I'M restraining ordering. I can't I can't willing to provide a statement that she tried to push you and kick you. >> I'm okay. >> I can't make you do it, but it will determine how long she's away. I mean, she kicked you or she tried to kick you, tried to push you. That shouldn't happen. >> The thing that she took off, she was like pushing people. >> She used that. >> Yeah, she pulled it off and then threw it at him. Would you like to provide a statement on her throwing the fence at you? >> No. Okay. >> Did she hurt anyone else other than this? Other than the kicking that was on the video? Did she hit anybody? >> She started hitting me. >> She started hitting you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, are you injured? >> No. >> No. >> But she started like slapping me and stuff. >> She was slapping you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. When was this? >> Uh, right before he she kicked him. >> Were you here the entire time dealing with her? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. How old? >> Oh, I'm 15. >> 15. Okay. Do you mind if I get a a statement from you as to everything that happened um including her hitting you and then obviously take a look to see if you have any injuries? >> Uh yeah. >> From the statements gathered, especially from a 15-year-old teen, police realized this wasn't just resistance. When the teenager agreed to cooperate and pursue charges, a clear legal basis was established, allowing officers to move forward with a formal arrest. >> I remember she's going to have to pay for that, right? That'll be between you guys and her. Honestly, you can definitely take her to uh civil court over that if you would like. Well, yeah. If I took the money from her, that's called robbing people, which is very illegal. >> When she hit you, did it hurt? >> Yeah. >> Did it hurt? >> She hit me hard. >> How'd she hit you? Close fist, open hand. >> Uh, she she started slapping. >> She started slapping you open hand. >> Um, so they have door camera kicking at him. >> Perfect. I already got that camera footage. Thank you. >> And then she also slapped him a few times. >> And he's going to give me a statement as well. >> Perfect. >> Um said it did hurt, but he doesn't have any marks. >> All right. >> So, >> Oh, ow. >> Right. >> That is way harder than I thought it would be. >> We're assaulting one of the people there. >> Uh we have assault four now. Um cuz >> that's great. Let me ask him if he wants to do that. >> Oh, okay. >> All right. Just let you know this is audio video recorded. >> Um, she was hitting you. She was assaulting you. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you want to like uh pursue charges for assault on this >> so that way she doesn't do this again or >> um how does that work? >> It's totally up to you. But all it means is that I'm going to put I'll get you to record a statement saying that this happened. I mean, I'm going get that anyways and then >> um that statement can be used later in court >> that says, "Hey, yeah, she assaulted me. I have video of her assaulting somebody else and then she can get some like whatever the the judge decides to do with her for that. Yeah. But it just means that you're agreeing to be like, "Yeah, like I want to to go ahead and and proceed prosecution." >> Police confirmed the teen's act of fighting back was legal since video evidence proved Hannah had struck first. On the other hand, another neighbor who had been kicked refused to press charges. He said he was fine and believed Hannah needed mental health help more than punishment. >> Okay, cool. And I also do want to let you know that as a self-defense, I did hit her back just cuz she was attacking me. >> Okay, we get all that in the statement. That's fine. Like I said, we have good video. As of right now, she does look like she's aggressing. She's primarily aggressive to you guys coming here. >> Calm her down. >> So, I'm going to get all these details in the statement itself. All right. Once I get that form, but I just wanted to make sure that you were on board. You wanted to do that. >> Um, she kicked him. Does he also want to go ahead and pursue assault? Uh uh I'm okay. I I know I work on police from Mexico and I know I take that she hands on me. They tell hey you can go home relax and no >> I don't think she's going to. But >> I think I think she need medication or something. I don't know what >> but right now we have good with the assaults. >> Yeah. But no, I'm okay. >> Can I ask why after after all this is happening why you didn't take the opportunity to just leave? >> Yeah. that that's I I don't know how much that's going to help you to be honest. >> What is racism? >> Racism on its own is not a crime. I agree with you that racism is wrong, right? And that what I'm telling you is that because of freedom of speech in in the United States that racism on its own is not a crime. It's got to be accompanied with something else. But and one of my questions is with all this stuff going on, Hannah, is why you didn't leave? >> You almost tried to kill me. >> I've never seen I've never seen you before. Ever. >> The other guy is you know who it is. In the end, the woman was taken to jail and charged with simple assault, property damage, and resisting law enforcement. If convicted, she could face penalties depending on the severity of each charge. Anything from fines to probation or even jail time. Madness revealed itself not just in her words, but in the self-destructive choices she made. On September 14th, 2023, police stopped a woman for a traffic violation after she drove into a no passing zone. What seemed like a minor offense suddenly escalated when she refused to comply with lawful orders. Officers were forced to step in, and what happened next left everyone stunned. >> Hey, stay inside your car. No, get back here. Get back here. Get back here, ma'am. >> I just saw you get out of the car. Uhuh. Me, too. >> Back to the car. Back to the car. I was never in my car. I was not put in handcuffs. Do not touch me. >> Walk back to your car. >> Do not touch me. >> Walk back to your car. >> Do not touch me. Walk back to your car. I'm not scared of you. >> I just want you get out of your car. >> Call another officer. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. Walk back to your car. Okay. Call another officer. >> Walk back to your car, please. Call another back to your car, please. Walk back to your car, please. My car's right there. My car's right there. My car's right there. My car's right there. >> My car's right there. Put your hands. DON'T PUT YOUR MOTHERING hands on me. I'M JUST ASKING. >> WALK back to your [ __ ] DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME. Do not put your hands ON ME. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS on me. And I know you justing heard me. Don't put your hands on me. I can run off and do WHATEVER THE I WANT TO DO. >> ELEMENTARY, PLEASE. >> DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME. >> Get back to your car. GET BACK TO YOUR CAR. >> I got a female. >> Get back to your car. >> Traffic stops. YEAH. >> NON-COMPLIANT. >> GET back to your car. >> You are going to be in handcuffs. You're going to be inc I'mma beat your ass. >> No, you're not. >> I'm going to get in handcuffs. I did nothing. >> I stopped you on a traffic stop. >> You know what beat your ass mean? That mean going in a canoe. Why you bothering me? >> Because you were improperly passing and I stopped you. You hopped out of your car and you listen. >> I'm I'm already on my car. How you pull me over? >> Because I stopped you and I watched you hop out of your car. That's what's happening. >> No, you didn't. >> Yes, I did. I'm not going to argue with you. Walk back to your car. >> Don't touch. I'm getting on the sidewalk. >> Walk back to your car. You are not free to go. You are not free to go. Do you understand? >> DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME NO MORE. >> UH-UH. You're not free to go. >> And I am free to go. You >> No, you're not. >> I'M NOT STUPID. Although she confidently claimed she wasn't stupid, the body cam revealed the opposite. She broke one of the most basic rules. When lawfully stopped, the driver must stay in the car and cooperate. Walking away from the stop wasn't just non-compliance. It could be considered obstruction of justice. >> You are NOT FREE TO GO. >> YOU'RE NOT FREE TO GO. >> PUT YOURING HANDCUFFS on the ground. On the ground. Where do you want? On your stomach. On your stomach. ON YOUR STOMACH. NOW, >> I can't get on my stomach. I'm on a >> stop. Come on. Relax. >> I'm on a concrete. >> Okay. On your stomach. >> I can't get on my stomach. >> Lay on your stomach. Stop. On your stomach. >> On your stomach. Get one. >> Talking about relax. >> Stop moving. Keep thrusting. >> Do you have anything illegal on you? >> Your mom. >> Throw her to the one side. You want to pat her down? Make sure she doesn't have >> Make sure the lady does it before I BEAT YOUR ASS. >> STOP. >> Thank you. >> I'M GOING TO DO IT. >> I just can't. Can you ask me questions? Do you see THE HAIR IN MY FACE? >> WHAT do you do? Get the hair out of my face. I can see you. >> You don't need to see us. >> I can't breathe. >> I can't breathe. IN MY FACE. When you get >> Okay, then move. >> All right, let's go >> church. >> I JUST TOLD YOU I CAME FROM YOGA, STUPID. Do you see pockets? You see black? >> You're now I'm done. Stupid,000 bag.

I dare scratch. I dare scratch. >> All right. I dare scratch. Getting pulled over on the ground. Which one? Can't wait. >> Okay. I don't know what you're talking about. >> We're going to stand you up. >> Can you be cool if you stand up? >> There's a pipe right. >> Oh, my stomach. >> Roll to your side. Once handcuffed, she completely lost control, screaming, thrashing, and hurling insults at officers. Her cries for help were nothing more than an attempt to draw sympathy and make herself look like the victim. Calling herself a teacher and a yoga instructor only clashed with her aggressive behavior. >> Please get him away from me. ONLY A WOMAN OUT OF HERE. >> GET HIM AWAY FROM YELLING. >> Please stop yelling. >> Can you PLEASE GET SOMEBODY AWAY FROM me so I can >> They got to be here for me. You please, >> please. Can you tell them to just go? Excuse me. I I can't breathe. Can you put They have hit me. >> Can you tell them to move aside so I can stand up? Can you tell them to move aside so I'm in someone's driveway? >> I work across the street. You five fat. Can you please tell them I can get up? >> Okay. Just Okay. You engage with it. I'm not married. >> Ma'am. I'm having a hard time. They're calling the ambulance. >> Yeah. >> Wow. Everyone in the neighborhood where I teach at has heard a young black female yo for help. What happened? You don't even know. You just out here causing a scene. That's little kids look up to [ __ ] like this. To be a cop like you. You see my fat ass stomach? I'mma have one of them kids. >> Are you saying that you're >> I'm saying that you're doing a good job holding me down, sir. Thank you. What's your name? >> Markus. >> Thanks. I want to What was the improper stop? Where'd he go? You know, I have parked my car, have my keys, and walked down the street. They all have cameras. Everybody got cameras. So why he just try to detain me? Everybody has cameras. Why did he just put his hands on me? You got a lady in her car over there. People right here. >> I don't need a paramedic. >> Everybody has cameras. I WAS OUT OF MY CAR and walking away. The police officer threw me on THE GROUND AND I YELLED FOR HELP. EVERYBODY WITHIN FIVE MILES HEARD me yell FOR HELP. EVERYBODY GOT CAMERA. SO IT DON'T MATTER howing mad I am. You don't never put your hands on me IF I'M NOT DETAINED. I KNOW THE LAW. I'M NOT SAYING I TEACH FOR NOING REASON. You stupid. IT'S JUSTICE. >> A TICKET or I'm going to jail. >> Oh my god. No. Why? Why am I going to jail now? >> Cuz you fought with the police. >> I lied. >> The most striking part, she shouted for help right there on the street. Yet not a single person from the community stepped forward. Maybe she believed strangers would confront the police to free her. Instead, her actions and words became evidence that could easily be reported back to the school board. >> Quiet when other guy pulled up and he threw me on the ground. I have video footage of this [ __ ] I told I told him I was walking home. I pulled over because it was improper passing. I'm yelling for help. I know everybody on this block. >> Don't yell on my [ __ ] You don't know nobody. I know everybody on this block. >> I walked from school. Th This is my route. So we causing attention to the right [ __ ] That's all I know. Thank you. >> That's my shoe, sir. Yes. He kicked my shoe off >> and she put her hands down my pants. >> Yeah, I'm okay. And to check me, she put her hands on my buttocks. So, I'm okay. >> We just want to make sure you don't have any injuries or nothing like that. Okay, that's all. >> Tell you how I'm not talking to you. I can't talk to two people in one. >> Do you respect that? >> Yes, I do. I apologize. >> It's not the bottom of anything. I was just told I was going to jail and my black ass mind. I would be like, damn, I'm going to jail for what? >> You live over this way? >> You went all throughout my purse, my glasses. You touched my ass. You don't know if I live out. Just ask him who pulled me over. Does he want me to go to the hospital? >> It's up to you. Okay. Do you have any >> I was okay walking home with my salad after not eating for two days? Do you understand that? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. So, I don't I don't I'm just talking about >> I've been saying the same narrative. Nothing has changed and you still seem like you're asking me questions. I'm asking a different question. Okay. >> No. No. Do you have any injuries? >> No. The narrative has not changed. >> Thank you. And I only say because I am from Masudo. So, you should know that, right? I I don't know who you are. >> So, you didn't look at my ID. You didn't talk to the arresting officer. The officer doesn't know if I'm from asgo, but he pulled me over and I ran away. >> He might. I don't know. >> Okay. So, this is a lie. Where is your marshall? Is he here? >> We don't have >> Where's your sheriff? Not marshall. Where's your sheriff? >> Our sheriff is probably >> Can you please call him? >> We have a supervisor if you're >> I want the sheriff because what you just told me. >> The sheriff's probably not going to call. >> What you just told me did not align. How don't you have my ID and know where I'm from, but I'm on the ground up obstructing justice. That makes >> She kept switching stories from denying the traffic stop to blaming mental health issues, showing she was grasping at any excuse to justify herself. She even demanded to see a supervisor, a classic tactic to drag things out. But even as she was about to be placed in the patrol car, she refused to cooperate. >> Me in the driveway. Why couldn't I walk home? I can't Why couldn't I walk home? So why am I on the floor? So at this point it's inequity. Okay. It's not ine. It's not inequity. It's unjust. >> Yes, it is. >> How is my actions just? I saying asiggo >> dictated. >> You're the one I want. Anyways, why? Why you got me on the ground? >> Should I put my shoes on, man? Cuz you keep saying or no, and it sounds very very weird. Did I want to get on the ground? Yes or no? Did I want to get pulled over? Yes or no? >> Do you want your shoes? >> Can you help me put my shoes on me? When you weren't here, they went down my pants and touched my ass. I have nothing on me. I'm a teacher. Ask them kids across the street when they go to school to sell their teachers [ __ ] for me to have something. How about that? I don't know where we're going. >> Which car? There's 12 cars. Where do I go? >> This one right here. Okay. >> You did your job. Good job. Just know how I look at you and everybody else does stuff. That's why you got the camera on. You see what I'm saying? >> No, I don't. >> I know you don't. Be a cop. >> Can I get in or stay like this? What do I do? >> Do I get in or do I stay like this? like that. One more time. >> You spread your legs. >> I have to put eyeliner on, too. >> Do I go like this or you spread your legs out for me? >> What do I spread my legs out for? >> I'm not understanding. What do I do? >> Hold on. Is this Okay. >> I don't know what to do. How do I get in? I've never >> Just sit down. Just sit down. Exactly like that. >> Thank you. You're doing great. >> Get in here like this. Under the thing. >> Yeah, exactly. And I'm going to put your seat belt on for your safety. Okay. right here. >> Just so you know, everything in here is recorded. Okay. >> Everything is audio and video recorded. Okay. >> Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. If this fat ass hurt the door, why wouldn't he look and say, "Excuse me. Can you please move the hair off the seat belt? I can't breathe because it's fake hair." >> You see what I'm saying? I have asthma. I can't breathe with it in my face. >> I'll move it for you. Okay. >> Thank you. That's what he did when I was on the street. He just looked >> here. I'm going to move it for you. Okay. Behind your back. Okay. >> Sorry. >> Oh, see how hard it is, right? >> Yeah. >> Yep. With no hands. Thank you. >> You most likely be charged with felony, so you'll have to see a judge in the morning. >> Yes, ma'am. >> In the end, the woman was taken to jail and charged with resisting arrest, obstructing an officer in assault along with her original traffic violation. What began as a minor infraction spiraled into a criminal case. The consequences could mean a felony conviction, jail time or fines, and a mandatory court appearance. And that moment revealed the truth. Why cutting off others on the road is a straight path to disaster. On January 10th, 2023, police rolled up to Walgreens after reports of a major theft. The suspect, an 18-year-old with a wrap sheet and a reputation, was accused of swiping over $2,500 worth of merchandise. And the body cam caught every tense moment as officers closed in. >> You see what happened? >> Okay. >> What uh what all what transpired? >> Turning back going to straight through the Olay section, emptied out Olay into cashier in cosmetics. Notified water. When I came out, I observed him take all the plan B. Same thing. Writes it into the basket. >> And then 21. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Can you describe the suspect, please? >> Um, black male. Looks like a female. Um, >> it's a female dress. >> As a male? No. >> As a male, dressed as a female. >> Uh-huh. >> Um, >> male. Slim. >> No, slimmer. Very slim. >> One one subject. Would >> you see him get into a car? >> Okay. Would you be able to recognize them if you saw him again? >> Okay. >> Tell us the dollar amount. How much you think the merchandise is? >> Perfect. >> This isn't the first time they've been in. I have >> key like the take action. The generic is right next to it. >> Okay. >> That was >> plan B and take action. They loaded that up. >> And they put it in a gray bag. You said >> it was um it was actually one of our shopping baskets, the rolling ones. package. So, it's mine. >> Okay. >> Thank you. It's okay. You can do it. Yeah. >> Did you Did you see what happened? >> Well, actually, when I saw when he came in like I always say, "Hi, how are you? >> Smile at me, you know, and then I saw him." But I was helping then a customer. >> Okay. >> So, my co my team member told me, you know, yeah, he told me there in his >> like he's like something. So I finished uh and I just came over here because I was listening what he was putting in the car. So when I say over here, he was sending out the plan B and I said, "Hey, how are you need help?" "No, no, no." And he just came, you know, passed through me and all that. And he looked when he was going through the door, he turned around and so it was very easy. >> He walked into the store grinning like he owned the place. Though what he really owned was a habit of stealing. Luckily, cops had a solid witness description, and it didn't take long to spot his car. That smug smile. It ended with flashing lights and a traffic stop. >> To the left. >> Step to your >> way to the left. >> Way to your left. Look away from me. >> Keep going. Step off the curve. >> Walk backwards towards this officer. Turn away and walk backwards. Walk backwards. >> Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. >> Everything's good. Just keep listening, compliant. Everything's going to be fine. Okay. Appreciate your cooperation. Keep coming back. Keep coming back. Back. Keep coming back. Keep coming back. Keep coming back. All the way. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Come on. Keep going. Go to the left. >> Ain't nobody in that car. I don't know why I got that. >> The whole time y'all following help for no reason. >> It's always his stupid ass. He could kiss my [ __ ] ass. He He can kiss ass. Ain't nobody in that [ __ ] car. >> Who is he? >> Him. He stat pulling that [ __ ] gun for no [ __ ] reason. He's doing too [ __ ] in there. I don't care. >> I've been in handcuffs. Nothing new to me. It's nothing. >> It's all right. It's nothing new to me. I don't been arrested by y'all plenty of times. I don't been arrested plenty of times. I don't been to jail plenty time. >> Have a seat. Have a seat right here. >> There's nothing new to this puss. >> I think you stole. >> Okay. Yeah, I did. I sure did. >> Okay. Well, >> what y'all take me to jail today? >> I mean, odds are probably you stole, >> right? >> Travis, you've been through it. You know. >> So, y'all know who I am. >> Everybody knows. Anybody who was knows anything about anything knows you, Travis, cuz you steal all the time, Travis. Come on. Go get a job. I'm sure you're a smart individual, right? Right. >> I'm only 18. >> What is that supposed to mean? Oh, you're only 18. >> Always. >> Just you? >> Yeah, just me. >> You're the only one that went inside the store? >> Yes, I did. I'm the only one that went inside. So when we watch that video, it just going to be you. >> His admission came quick and casual. Part guilt, part bravado. Almost proud of being a repeat offender. He even tried shielding the friends who were with him. The driver, on the other hand, swore up and down he had nothing to do with it. >> You guys go shopping at all today? >> Yeah. >> Where'd you guys go? >> He went to Walgreens. >> Walgreens. >> Okay. >> Did you go inside Walgreens? You stayed in the car? No. >> You weren't inside there at all? No. Okay. So, you have no idea what happened inside of Walgreens? >> I didn't go in. >> Okay. So, you didn't take anything from Walgreens? >> I didn't go in. >> No. Do you know if they did? >> The only one got out was him. She never got out. >> The one standing right there that was just yapping? >> Yeah, we never got out. >> So, none of you went in there except for him. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Travis, you say that you don't have a Florida driver's license. It's because you don't have one on you or it's suspended. >> I never had one. >> You've never gone to the DMV and had your picture taken? Um, yeah. For my ID. >> For your ID card? Okay. >> I think probably somebody's already. I'm going to go ahead and put them in the backseat of my car. >> Travis, stand up. Uncross legs. 1 2 3 >> Because that's what happens. >> So, how long will we be in the truck for? >> Uh, I don't know. We're going to start conducting We're going to start conducting our investigation. We'll go from there. All right. I'm Officer Gabino. This is my car. All right. >> So, so when I So, when can I leave? >> When can you leave? >> Yeah. >> I don't know when you can leave. >> We're going to conduct our investigation. We'll go from there. Face the car. >> Spread your feet. >> Just stand up for a second right here. >> What happened? What did I do? >> Just stand right here on the median and look that way. Is that the individual that you observed enter the store? >> Stop the car. Stop the car. Is that the individual that you observed enter the store? >> Yes. >> Um, select the select the merchandise and leave the store without purchasing the merchandise. >> Yes. >> Okay. Let dispatch know uh um positive ID. >> Piece by piece, officers stitched the story together. Multiple witness statements and the store manager's confirmation nailed Travis as the ring leader. By the time Detective James Cavs stepped in, the case was locked tight. >> Hey, Travis. How are you? >> I'm Detective James Cable with the Full Springs Police Department. You're not arrested today for um felony retail theft. >> Okay. >> Um from the Walgreens. Did they tell you that? >> Okay. >> And uh do you want to talk about that? Do you want to discuss that or >> people want my uh what's this for misdemeanor? >> It's a felony >> possibility. >> All the stuff that Do you want to talk about it?

If convicted, he's facing up to five years behind bars and or a fine of up to $5,000. On April 22nd, 2024 in Becker County, Minnesota, police received an emergency 911 call about a strange break-in. A panicked woman reported that an intruder had barged into her house, tripped over her, then ran down to the basement. Officers quickly arrived, but what they were about to witness was even harder to believe. >> Somebody had just broken into my house. He just ran down into my basement. >> Did you get a look at him at all? >> No, it was completely dark. I tripped over him. He was on the floor next to my bed >> and he ran downstairs into my basement. >> Okay.

Police department. underneath the stairs. That's what I was hearing motion at. >> Is there a way to get underneath the stairs? >> If you come up long, looks like there's a long driveway right to the back of the residence. >> Another bathroom. It's a disaster. >> Right from the start, the homeowner chose to hide and call the police instead of confronting the suspect. When officers arrived, they heard noises under the stairs and carefully moved in. While searching, they called out loudly, applying standard tactics to create psychological pressure and force the suspect to reveal themselves. >> Get on the ground. >> You stay back. Stay back. Stay back. >> Hands behind your back. Carol. >> Yeah, >> it's Nicole. >> It's Nicole. >> I was just trying to get a couple of my dad's things because he wouldn't talk to me anymore. >> She also stole documents out.

I don't have anything on. Yeah. >> Yeah. Was >> or is currently >> She is after this. >> Oh. >> Oh my god. My husband passed away just her father. And um the day after he died, her aunt came here and they walked out with all these two two of my husband's sisters. She's very close to one of them, Nancy. >> Okay. >> They're walking out the door with all these forms and I ran out the door. I said, "What are you guys doing?" She Nancy said, "We're just trying to help you. Just trying to figure out where you are financially." >> Well, it's a my partner done this before. Not that, but she's um insisted that um my son should get nothing. She should get everything. All that stuff. >> Where'd she come in at? >> Getting into my bed. >> I have a clue. >> You don't know? >> No. >> Any doors that are open? >> She had those >> those sticks >> sticks on. >> Any windows open that you don't know of? >> My kitties have it run off and something. >> Okay.

She's trying to get mine. >> She kept I can show you my baby. >> Let's go upstairs. >> Um, >> when arrested, the woman appeared cooperative, but still tried to justify her actions. The big shock came when police discovered her true identity. A state senator, not just some ordinary burglar. While one officer questioned her, others continued checking the scene to collect evidence. >> This is her bag. >> That's me. >> Yeah. Stuck in the window. >> You mean to go out and try to get it out? >> Yeah. I'll take a picture of it before I touch it. >> Something woke me up. >> Did you hear something? >> Something woke me up. >> Okay. I stepped over the side of the bed and there was a body laying on the floor. I expected >> Okay. >> What would you do? >> What do you know what she'd be here for? >> Paid the bank account number. I have no idea what she is. >> Okay. I guess we'll check that bag. See if anything in there is yours. Yes. >> 37. You can close that window. >> All right. Are those tight? Hold on. You just want to make sure they're locked so so they don't tighten up on you. >> This is not my normal life. >> So, you are in custody. I'm going to read you your Miranda rights. Okay. >> Okay. >> Nicole, you have been you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand each of these rights I just explained to you? >> I do. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me now? I'm just hoping um this mistake won't completely I know I did something bad after the funeral. My aunt tried to help her. She thinks they stole from her when they were just trying to get her affairs in order. >> Okay. >> She's progressively cut off the family. >> Can I stop you quick? >> Yeah. >> What's your relationship to her? >> Stepmother. >> Stepmother. >> Okay. >> But she's got Alzheimer's and she's gotten >> I I know this doesn't help. This is just going to prove the point, >> but she's gotten paranoid and things fall out to get her and won't let anyone in the house. I just wanted to get a couple of my dad's momentos and that's all. >> Okay. So, what kind of momentos? >> A couple pictures and maybe one of his shirts. >> How'd you get in the house tonight? >> That window. >> The window. Okay. Which window? >> Where the bag was. >> Where the bag? I I didn't go back there and find it. So, what's in the bag? >> Couple laptops. >> Your laptops or someone else's? >> My laptop. >> A backpack and a hammer were found, becoming clear evidence directly linking her to the break-in, confirming the crime. But instead of admitting guilt, she claimed she only wanted to retrieve legal documents for her father and blamed her stepmother's mental health as a way to dodge responsibility. >> Did you see it? The hammer out there on the steps? Oh, >> I had a hammer. >> Oh, you had a hammer there. >> That one's mine. >> That's yours? Okay. >> For protection. Yeah. >> I know it's your bedroom. Was there anything missing it from there? >> I don't even know. She was >> I don't like I know it's your personal space. So, >> she was laying right here. >> She crawled out of bed and stepped on it. >> I'll go take a look at that bag. >> Yes, please. I'll get the adrenaline pumping. Bag was two laptops. Do you have a laptop in here? >> Well, I have two laptops that unplugged mine and my husband's >> You have two laptops? >> I had to. Um I >> Where are they at? >> I don't know. >> Do you want to go look for them? Do you know where they were at? >> No, I don't even know. I'm also not >> Do you know what they look like? >> They're just little laptops. >> Would you know if I showed you? >> Maybe. Okay, I'll go get them. What else? >> I have a I call it the tin box. It's a metal steel gray box that's always had all the legal documents in it. >> Okay. >> That's what they broke into before her and her had her aunt do it and stole a bunch of stuff out of there. And so I was just looking for that. >> I can't find that anywhere. But u >> just want to put the knife away for me. here to get >> a couple said pictures, shirt and ashes. >> Well, the ashes so the ashes got buried before anyone got them. I just wanted to get a couple things before anything else gets >> tried to talk to her before this. >> We had a fight over the ashes situation and she at least right now wouldn't talk to me. I It's just gotten progressively worse. >> How long has it been since you last talked to her? >> Um month. >> All right. So, right now you're under arrest for burglary. Okay. >> Even if I didn't take anything. >> You broke broke in the house with an intent to commit a commit a crime. So, that's burglary. I mean, you're definitely dressed for it and I understand your situation, but you still can't. >> I understand. >> I mean, there's there's other other ways to try to go through it. through the door and off and on. >> While one officer spoke with Nicole, others took statements from Carol, contradictions quickly surfaced. Nicole insisted she only wanted keepsakes, while Carol accused her of previously stealing inheritance documents. When checking the laptops, Nicole claimed one was hers, but another had Carol's name, a key detail for the charges. >> I got an ID, but I don't know if it means anything, but she's a state senator. Oh, >> really? Yeah. >> I'm back. the laptops. The story she gave me is pretty good for work and her kids, but it's going into our evidence. So, if something does change, we'll get it back to you. Okay. >> So, last time she was after papers, like, can I just ask the significant? >> When the two aunts came here, they took all kinds of legal forms. I had my husband just died. I had the tin box sitting right now here cuz I was going through it >> trying to find out what I was supposed to do cuz and I was totally out. The box was wide open and when I came out there were papers and stuff scattered all over the floor and the two girls were both walking out with Nancy and Cindy with papers down the front sidewalk to their vehicle and I said, "Where are you going? Where what do you got?" And they said, "It's okay, Carol. Don't worry. We're just trying to help you and get this legal business all straightened out for we know you're upset. >> Do you know why she would want those papers? Like what would benefit her from having those? >> Well, she um my husband didn't have an actual will. >> Oh, okay. >> She >> So, you think it's for like inheritance stuff? >> Yes. She It was bank papers. It was all bank papers basically. >> Yeah. I might have to keep going because there's another act of burglary in Frezy. So, >> thank you. So, there's a discrepancy with the laptops. Are you able to sign into those laptops? >> I'm sorry. >> Will you be able to sign into those laptops? >> Yes. >> Okay. There's the first one. >> Okay. How come it has Carol's name on it? >> It was one that she had given me >> way back when to use for the kids. >> Well, she's missing two laptops is what she said. So, I'm taking this laptop. How about this one? Okay, that one's got your name on it. Okay, >> that one will stay with your property, but I am taking this one. >> That's fine. >> Did you try shoving that backpack out and it didn't go out? >> I want to answer your questions. >> You don't have to. like you understood you understood your rights. So >> I that's my opinion. >> Okay, that's okay. Put you back in here. Appreciate you working with that. So >> in the end, Nicole Mitchell was charged with firstdegree burglary, a felony, and possession of burglary tools. She was convicted after the jury unanimously found her guilty. The punishment for this crime could include prison time and fines in addition to the fact that she had to resign as a state senator, ending her political career. And on June 3rd, 2025, Marshfield police received an emergency call about a heated argument between a man and a woman. When they arrived on scene, they had to quickly verify the situation and figure out what was really going on. But what seemed like a simple dispute soon unfolded into something far more unpredictable. called about uh you guys arguing over there in front of the old folks home over there. >> They actually aren't arguing. >> Oh yeah, we had a couple people that called. >> Yeah, they're not arguing. I'm going for a walk. Nothing. I'm going to take farm. >> Oh, they said you were yelling at each other and screaming and they were concerned enough to call. >> Come here. >> What's up?

Don't fix it. >> So, what's going on? >> Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. He'll explain it. Okay. >> Okay. Well, why don't I hear your status, right? >> I would just call for support. >> You were what? >> Support. I have no idea what that means. >> We got called because you guys were fighting up in front up on >> yelling because >> you got you got you already know. >> So it's all just an argument. It didn't sound like it was much more than that, but okay. >> My partner's talking to him. So that's all just a weed pipe or what? That's all it was? >> Delta, man. You guys, you made a big deal about it. That's why I was just like, "All right, until they get done talking to your >> Why are they wrestling?" >> What's your name? >> Ashley. >> Do you have an ID? >> No, I don't. My phone's dead. Seriously? We were walking [ __ ] sleep bar. We were literally walking bar. >> Someone called and said someone matching your description was arguing and yelling. Did you hear? >> Were you over in front of uh Stony River over there? >> We walked from freaking you from over this way. >> Okay. So, you weren't at all over by the old way. We straight up walked this road. We weren't we weren't even going to do anything. He wasn't even talking. He was my >> What's your first name? >> Ashley and Michael insisted they weren't fighting, just out for a walk. But when another officer pulled Michael aside for a brief detention, Ashley grew anxious and kept asking why. When she was asked to confirm her identity, Ashley suddenly began rifling through her purse in a rush despite repeated commands from police to stop. >> People got watch. I wonder why he's being arrested. I >> I don't know, but I'm going to figure that out. Okay. I need to know why his name is. It's not fair. He didn't name. We were walking. >> What's his name? >> Michael. >> Michael. What? >> Yell. >> Does he have any warrants or anything like that? >> His name was Friday. >> Okay. >> I wonder why. We were literally walking by the police car. >> Okay. So, someone matching your guys' description. We're yelling at each other over in front of an old folks home over here. So, were you guys over there? >> No, we were literally walking. >> Okay. So, if I look at cameras, you guys wouldn't have been over there. >> I didn't see anybody. I saw nobody. >> But you were in front of walking in front of an old >> I don't know where I am. I'm new to Marshall. I don't walk this area. Do you have an ID? >> I don't have my phone's dead.

Get out of the bag now. >> Get out of the bag and put that down. Put it on the ground. >> Put it on the ground. Put it on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back now. >> Put your hands behind your back now. I'm going >> now. >> Put your right hand behind your back now. >> The body cam didn't capture the exact moment Ashley searched her bag, but the later report stated she had grabbed a syringe filled with a dark liquid and dumped it onto the grass. While one officer checked on her, others swept the area searching for evidence to piece together the truth. >> You need help, Alex? >> Why you put handcuffs on him? What? You made me pee myself. Ow. I [ __ ] peed myself. I literally peed myself. I'm laying on the wet floor. Please. >> Hold on. >> I peed myself. I literally peed myself. I peed myself. Sir, I peed myself. Oh, you pee myself. >> Let go of what's in your hand. Put handcuffs on you. >> What? You made me myself. I peed myself. >> I just peed myself. >> Oh, what? >> Can I get on the ground now? I already peed myself. >> No, I peed myself. I'm not having to lay on the ground. Can I drink off the ground? I'm wet and I peed myself. I peed myself. >> Roll to your right. Let me pee myself. >> Come up here. Stand up. You have my back and you have I peed myself. >> Anything else in your pockets? >> No, I don't have pockets.

My Apple ID. I do not have a needle in your hand. >> I had my ID. I was going for my ID. >> You're not stupid. All right. >> I never, Sir, I never said you were, but you No, you let me. >> Even after being caught destroying evidence, she kept offering weak excuses, claiming she was only looking for her ID. Instead of admitting anything, she played the victim, complaining about being wet and in pain, trying to deflect the officer's attention. >> Can I please get somehow change my wet peach clothes? >> Not right now. I I didn't make you pee your pants. You're an adult. You know how to >> I don't I I cannot control it. >> Okay. >> They really smell like pee. >> What? I'm sorry. >> I'm not mad at you.

We'll take all this stuff. >> He got pretty I got pretty excited when I when he saw they were both watching you pulling her, you know. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> And he run in front of this car and he see him taking something out of his pocket and throw it on the ground. He seemed to start stomping on it like I was like, "All right." Um I didn't see anything when I came down this way, but uh I'll walk it again. But uh I uh it comes back if it comes back as the the legal weed illegal weed I'm going to write you a ticket for paraphernalia. Okay. >> Uh TSCA is all it is. >> Okay.

I got to get a hold of her boss and everything. Let her know. >> What's your phone number? >> I'll let you know. Just >> Ashley was finally exposed when police found more evidence inside her bag. Her lies about just taking a walk and having nothing to hide completely unraveled. In the end, she was booked into jail and faced multiple charges. possession of meth and THC, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting and obstructing an officer, and bail jumping. Because these were repeat offenses, Ashley could be staring down harsher penalties, including jail time, long-term probation, and heavy fines. Though she bonded out on $3,000 cash, her final sentence would be decided in court, and it could very well include prison time. From quiet theft to public consequences, every shortcut leaves a trail.
