>> They just said she was in there working.
What were the you thinking?
>> You had money.
>> I didn't walk out. I didn't leave it. It
didn't. It wasn't official. Wasn't done.
She stopped feeding. I didn't run from
her when she asked me. She told me to
put my hand put my hand down. I moved
over to where we were. I wanted to go
where the flowers at so everybody would
see where you was. I didn't even her
hands was never even off. So say I
resisted. I can't outrun you. I don't
work out. I'm like,
>> what she getting charged with, sir?
>> I run petty theft and resisting without
violence. So both are misdemeanors. All
right. what I was telling her, what I
was saying to her. I wasn't here when
originally this happened, right? But
here's just just a word of advice.
Hopefully this never happens again,
right? It's not a big deal. It's a
misdemeanor charge, okay? It's not going
to end your life or anything like that,
right? You'll be out tomorrow, okay? But
hey, here's the deal, right? Hopefully,
they'll never be next time, okay? I
don't I think you're a good person. I
don't think this is like a common thing
for you. Clearly, you've never been
arrested before, right? Okay. But here's
the thing. If you if you mess up and you
slip up and you do something like that
and then the police come up to you,
don't resist, okay? Don't run. Don't do
anything like that cuz then it just it
ties her hands. I was telling her this
earlier. I can't.
>> Resisting mean you're trying to leave.
>> No, it's called it's it's a Florida
statute. It's resisting without
violence. That includes running,
pulling, bracing everything. I called it
three times. You can get it for whatever
they want.
>> It's it's it's when we have a lawful
reason to detain you, right? Which we do
if you're stealing stuff and you do
anything that we tell you not to do.
That's resisting. Okay.
>> Um the groceries that you got, you pay
it with Apple Pay. So, they can't refund
it back because it's Apple Pay. So, do
you want him to go out and get the
groceries, too?
>> Are you good with getting that? Okay.
So, I want to get the receipt for the
grocery she had. They're going to gather
up the items again, and then I'll make
sure you get it. Okay.
>> All right.
>> She was charged with petty theft and
resisting an officer without violence.
