[clears throat] >> So, when we get there, it's just her, another woman, three kids, small kids. The kid that apparently walked away was in one of the shopping carts. She's just totally belligerent, cursing, making a scene, not providing any information, starts to get the attention of everybody around us, continuing her behavior like this. What you see is basically what she was doing on the scene. >> I don't care. I'm not the MOTHER OF THE CHILD. I'M NOT THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD. IT DOESN'T MATTER. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK TO ME. NONE. >> IT WAS EXPLAINED TO HER multiple times like, "Hey, we're trying to make this easy. We just have to confirm who the kid belongs to. Can't just turn the kid over to anybody just cuz you say it." So, I end up speaking with the other woman cuz apparently now they're saying, "Okay, it's the other woman who is the mother." So, I start speaking with her. She continues to be belligerent. She walks over to the cart, tries to pick the kid up out of the cart at that point and push by me at the process. So, at that point, we locked her out for disorderly. And then there was a kid running around the parking lot unattended. >> Not that I saw when I showed up. She the kid was customer service saying that child was out in the parking lot going >> Yeah. I didn't talk to anybody else. Rob was the first one here. But >> disorderly and she's been spitting on me the entire time. So I'm charging I guess >> talking. I was having a conversation. >> The child's biological mother later arrived and confirmed the child had wandered off while she went to the restroom. >> You're the mom. >> Yes, I have. >> How old How how old are you? >> I'm 17. >> Okay. And that and that's your child? Yes, it is. But I have my daughter in the bathroom. I'm taking my daughter to the bathroom and she will get >> Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. >> You come. I'm going speak to you. Okay. >> Like I said, you guys are not in any trouble. She caused all this. If she didn't get so excited and loud, she would not be handcuffed right now. Do you have your license with you? >> And I need uh last name, your your child in the car. Who is that lady uh in relation to you? >> God. That's my friend. >> That's that's your friend? >> Yes. >> Okay. What do you think? She's acting so uh erratic. >> Yeah, she's not she's not in trouble with my daughter. >> I did take him to the bathroom. >> Was he in the car with you when he walked off? >> When I walked off, he was in the car. >> So you guys were here paying and he just walked off. >> No, when I came, she said she had to use the bathroom. She >> and she was watching him. Okay. Okay. >> No, they were all here. >> He walked in. He walked in. >> Okay. Yeah. There. Listen, there's a lot of kids. I get it. Happens all the time. So, you're pretty good with the kids. Okay. All right. So, I have the JV's name and the mom's uh info. So, the mom was apparently taking that child to the bathroom. She was supposed to be watching that child. That child just wandered off into the roadway. I have the caller's info as well. The caller said that uh she found the child in the roadway when he was walking through the school. >> She was supposed to be watching the child. >> She was supposed to be watching the child. >> So, can we get can we get lost prevention to get the the video >> of this child in the parking lot unattended? >> So, that way at least you can have it memorialized. >> Right. Right. Then you can do the it'll probably be in the clock, too. So, right. >> So, all right. So, let me try to get that. >> I'll follow him in. >> All right. So, then I'll see >> when she's out of here. >> Yeah. Cuz then I'll see you guys inside. I have I have the child's and the >> See if you can get a name for her. >> Faced with unclear statements, police worked with store management to review camera footage and verify information. >> Yeah. Uh, can you guys get video of the child on throwaway out there or not? >> Well, I don't know what happened. I'm the manager. Now I'm hearing something happen. So, >> can I come in and explain to you? >> Yes, you could. >> So, what happened is that we got a call of a juvenile walking in the front lot. So, when I came here, I guess whoever's supposed to be watching the child saw me, grabbed the child, and went around the the store. I'm trying to get her information so we could document what occurred. She flips out, start yelling and screaming. She's not even the mom. And then of course when she got loud and started her being aggressive, we told her that she was going to get arrested. Kept on being loud and aggressive and that's how she ended up being handcuffs. Now we're trying to get video because we're going to charge her. We're trying to get video to confirm if the child was walking in the front where my car is at because the caller said that he that he found the child walking in the front there. >> Yeah, somewhere up here. So he found he was coming to the store. He found the child walking in the front and then he brought the child in. But who child is it? >> The the child's mom was in the bathroom at a time with another child. So this is the godmother that we locked up. So the godmother was supposed to be watching the child and trying to check out and then the child will walk off. >> So she'll run the camera. >> Yeah. If you can't have it save on video and then I'm going to send you a link. If you can't send that video to us, we'll attach it to the case. >> Or would you want me to like bring a video like this? >> No, we actually don't do the CDs anymore. Well, we have a link and then you can just upload it to our link. >> Let's see. Around like 30 minutes ago. >> Uh, what time is it right now? Yeah. >> Okay. So, >> if you can get me on What time I came into the car? That lady. >> Oh, is she is she out there now? >> But you just woke me up. >> Yeah, that's Hold on a second. I think that might be the mom. >> Through discussions with the mother, the identity of the initial woman and her connection to the child were confirmed. Who you looking for? >> Talk to me. >> Wait, what's the matter? >> She is my only ride and it's there anyway. >> Where's your ride? I mean, where are you headed? >> That was my That's my sister. >> That's your sister. Okay. All right. Uh >> she just going to be a little frustrated time, >> right? And listen. And has she been called? We just got the name information. You guys didn't been on your way. >> Exactly. >> What's What's her name? >> What's her name? Her name is um I don't really know how to spell her name. She's not really my blood sister, but she's like my sister as an >> Okay. >> I don't know how to spell her name properly, but her last name is Neil. That's all I can tell you right now cuz that's all I know. But that is my friend. The real misunderstanding. >> Yeah. No, I have the mom here. We locked up the sister and the sister was her ride back with the four kids she's got back there. >> She's in the office. So, whatever information you want, we can get her. >> Yeah. Well, was she able to see the child in the roadway or >> drug? Yeah. And she and she's a godmother to me. So, it's like she's like, "Yeah, she helps me out. She's good. She helps me out with them and everything." >> But and and I told you this, had she reacted calmly towards us. >> Right. It been a whole different route. But she was yelling and screaming. You see how she was when when we told her she was going to get arrested, she became louder and started, you know, >> putting the hands on uh the other officer. And that's not the way to go. >> So, you don't know her first name? Yeah, I know. Her first name is Jarisha. >> Jarisha. >> Do you know how to spell that? >> No. >> Where's your car? >> Um, her car is somewhere in the front. >> Where? >> Huh? >> You trying to find something? >> We Well, we're going to get her ID uh from down, but the issue is that >> I'm not I don't quite sure or remember where she put her car. >> Do you know where she lives? >> I don't know. >> Where does she live? >> Um, her mom's house. >> You know, if you could get that, I'm going try to get the video of the child. The investigation became more complex when officers noticed another adult present with a child. >> So, you did you pulled the uh video of the child on the road? >> Not yet, cuz at 12:35 you just got here. So, that must be before that. >> Right before I got here, probably 5 minutes before I got here. If you rewind the video back. >> No. >> Uh, do you see who picks him? Yep, that's the one.

However, it was clear that if she had remained calm and cooperative from the start, the situation could have been resolved quickly [music] without extensive intervention. >> I was never I don't want to read this. I don't have a reason TO DO THAT. AND SO I HAVE TO GO DROP THEM OFF. I >> HE'S GETTING THE REST OF THE info from the mother.

I don't know how TO SWALLOW WHEN I TALK. I was angry. >> Ma'am, you spit. I know, but I'm actively telling you not to spit on me. And then and then you continue to spit on me. I know, but just cuz you're trying to mask it with you talking, you're still spitting right in my face. >> On purpose. I swear to God, I'm still doing it right now. IT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE. IT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE. I don't have a reason to spill you. No reason at all. >> Okay. Well, now I have to go wash my face cuz I have spit all over my face. >> Like I said, I was talking.

I didn't know that. I didn't know he walked away. >> 65 932. >> Oh my god. Now I'm going to jail for nothing. >> The way she was acting out there. He was complaining that he that he was putting his arm on her neck. Couldn't breathe all this on police. She's cursing and screaming at Walmart and creating a scene with everybody watching. There's small kids around. Kids are getting scared based on her behavior. And she's uncooperative. Didn't provide a name or anything like that. So, initial arrest was for disorderly conduct. And then um she's kind of resisting as we're walking her to the car. I'm trying to seat belt her in and she's trying to lean forward. So I put my arm on her chest to keep her from leaning forward so I can seat belt her. As she's talking, she's spitting my face. I said, "Stop spitting my face." And she turns her head and then intentionally is now talking and spitting in my face. It was clearly intentional. Okay, >> he's got I told him I said, "Why don't you go in and find loss prevention and get the video showing this child in the middle of the the park by itself 2 or 3 years old?" So that's what weigh in. So I followed him to get her out. >> I don't know if you're going to the county or not. Okay. >> Tensions eased once she was taken to the station. The story shifted from conflict to dialogue, [music] revealing the true cause of the incident. >> So it was just one kid or there were multiple kids. >> I didn't I didn't make to where they originally were. When I walked in, the situation was in full blown. It was three kids and there was one that had to use the bathroom. My app my parent took the kids to the bathroom.

I was standing I was standing by the rest putting stuff in the bag. All I knew that's all I was doing. I didn't know walk away. I didn't look I didn't know they walk away. All I know is that I knew that it was a kid next to me. That's it. The whole time. That was it. >> But it wasn't your children, right? It was your friend's children. >> Yes. She didn't say nothing the whole time. That's what was pissing me off. I'm looking at her, looking at why why the goddamn thing that they're my that's my kids. They're not my kids. I just went to go get them. That was it. I just went to go get them. Go find out. I'm going to go get them. That was it. >> All right. >> But the kids returned >> those found in and the parking lot was turned over to the mom. >> Yes. Okay. All right. >> And then a simple let's just confirm that the child belongs to so and so turns into this >> because I was mad.
