Hello. >> Hello. >> I'm deputy Tabali with the sheriff's office. What's your name? >> Britney. >> Britney. Britney, tell me why I'm here today. >> I been stealing from the Dollar Tree. >> What strikes me here is how calmly Britney admits to stealing. No hesitation, no denial. It's almost as if she's relieved to finally say it out loud. But beneath [music] that calmness, you can sense desperation. A young woman caught between survival and crime. >> It said the last two months. >> So for the past two weeks, you've been >> two months. >> Two months. I'm sorry. I'm I'm hard of hearing with this radio on my hand. Um so for the past two months, you've been taking money on merchandise.

I'm not entirely sure what that is. >> Where someone would check out and get all their stuff and then they would pay for it and I would just go back and void it. >> So you would avoid the transaction and take the cash amount that they gave to the register and take that money for yourself. Okay. And merchandise. What merchandise were you taking? >> I've taken food. >> Okay. >> And a band. >> Okay. How much do you think you've taken in the past two months valuewise >> $1,500 worth of merchandise >> just in merchandise at home? >> Maybe 700 >> $700 in merchandise. That's just a rough estimate. You don't give me approximate. And you think you've taken $1,500 in cash or you've known you've taken $1,500 in cash? >> Um, I think I've taken like >> I don't know how much in cash. >> If you had to rough guess, what do you think? >> Like 600. >> So 600 in cash. >> Yes. and we left the hotel and I'm willing to pay everything back >> cuz I don't want to go to jail cuz I'm not that kind of person. >> M pretty go ahead and grab belong.

Let's kind of share all >> Hey, so here's what's going on with wife. She is going to jail um because she is being arrested for two felonies, which is one scheme of fraud and grand theft due to the fact that over a systematic period of time over the course of a month, she has accumulated over $1,000 worth of money and merchandise.

Um, she'll see a judge at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and she'll have a first appearance and they'll set up on the phone call to her husband is heartbreaking. Imagine hearing that your partner is being charged with two felonies [music] and there's nothing you can do. This moment captures the human side of crime. Not just numbers and stolen goods, but families torn apart, futures rewritten in a single day. I know you kind of told me the kind of gist of it. I got fairly anything from you, but can you give me a sworn statement real quick? Just kind of I'm going to go in detail a little bit more. >> What we saw in the system, how we pulled it in.
