We counted everything in our cart and still going to say we stealing. >> Listen, just don't go anywhere yet. Can I have the receipt? Let me have the receipt. How do I have to keep giving this receipt if you just seen this eight times? Do you have an ID card? >> No, ma'am. What did I do wrong? I didn't steal anything. >> I promise. Please, the kids, the holidays coming up. >> That's on you. >> Some criminals think shoplifting is just a slap on the wrist. A minor inconvenience at worst. But what happens when their entitled attitudes and desperate lives transform a simple citation into years behind bars? >> Do you do have do you have me on camera doing that? >> We do. >> Okay. Can you show me? >> We'll get to it. >> Give me this phone. Give me your phone. >> You're going to be pull away from me. Give me your take off. This is This is This is Are we Are we there recording? >> These were the moments when cops had to deal with the most entitled shoplifterss ever. We begin with the case of a shoplifter who called 911 on the very store she was stealing from. >> And literally, I'm not about to keep arguing with him. He got We got all our receipts right here for the TV and everything. They talking about he going to call the cops. No, I'mma help you. I don't Nobody need to steal. We got money. I got EBT. >> He just wants to verify this once again and then that's it. >> Can he come out here and do it because I'm not about to keep bringing this in and out. I called y'all though. I called y'all. >> I called y'all for my safety cuz they thought we were stealing. >> On February 24th, 2025, police in Piscataway responded to a 911 call from the shoplifter herself. Kira Snipes claimed she was being harassed, but officers arrived to find her standing beside shopping carts full of merchandise, frantically waving receipts while an Uber waited nearby, desperate to leave before her lies unraveled. >> And literally, I'm not about to keep arguing with them. He got We got all our receipts right here for the TV and everything. He counted everything in our cart and still trying to say we stealing stuff. You counted one cart. You didn't even count my food cart. We got every look, everything's on here. >> Did you call 911? >> Yes, I did. What are you talking about? >> I'm out with the caller. Um, do you want to go talk to them? You want me to go? >> I want I want the rest of my [ __ ] He's trying to say that we took that we stole. >> Dude, let me see the the um receipt. >> Counted everything in our cart and still going to say we stealing. [ __ ] >> Listen, just don't go anywhere yet. I'm going to help you guys work it out. >> No, no, I'm Uber. So, I'm just Uber. >> Yeah, I'm just I'm going cancel. >> No, don't cancel. >> Yeah, cuz you're going to spend time here. >> No, it not. >> I got We got to make sure everything's all good. >> No, everything is fine. No, they >> just give me one sec. >> They said this stuff is good. This is good. >> This stuff is all good. >> This is good. But he's saying that the merch that we didn't pay. >> Did you How did you pay? Did you just >> pay no Walmart pay? You can't pay nothing else but Walmart pay or card. Please do not cancel cuz we got to go home to my nephew. Please. Like please. >> Yeah. This isn't going to fit in this car. >> Definitely not. All right. Whatever. >> What's he talking about? Everything in his mom cart is in that store is pay for. >> How'd you get all this out here by yourself? >> My brother. >> Oh, okay. >> He counted everything in the car. Half of the stuff that's in that's not in his cart is in there cuz he took it out. >> Yeah. He'll help you out. >> They talking about he going to call the cops. No, I'm going to help you. I don't. Nobody need to steal. We got money. I got EBT. >> Yeah, but it's saying I don't know how to read this. So, is it Was it declined? >> No, he declined it, but it was because he did he had um a regular card instead of Apple. Yeah, he was he used Walmart pay, so he declined it and then paid for it again. >> Okay. Yeah, I don't know how to read these. So, I'm going to step in. I'll talk to the employees. Just hang out here for a second. >> I'm not keep my mother like it's it's over. It's over. cuz he I called the cops for him to feel safe cuz he keeps yelling at us and I'm going to yell back and I don't have time for it. It's either we going to get our stuff and leave or >> is your brother still in there? >> He's still in there trying to get the rest of our stuff. >> While Kira maintained her story outside, inside the store, cracks in her facade were already forming. Her brother, perhaps sensing the gravity of their situation, admitted the truth. Some items hadn't been scanned. A Walmart employee pointed to an entire cart of unverified goods. The officers made a decision that would strip away Kira's last defense. They would check every single item against the receipts. Who who what's the issue here? What happened? >> Uh >> yeah, we were trying >> We're trying to figure is it this two separate incidents? What is this? >> We are trying to verify the items that the >> Okay. >> Some of the items are not >> what did you not check? >> No. >> Did you not scan it on check out? >> No, I some have not been >> and and they don't want to they don't want to get >> Okay. >> There's a lady who has just left. >> Yeah. I have my partner talking to her outside here. So what uh >> let them just bring everything inside because some of them are on Facebook. >> Okay. >> Are you listening? >> Yes. >> So now what I'm saying is I didn't come up to the front. >> I got the TV, my game, all that. Right. >> Are you with them outside or not? >> Yes, I'm with them outside. But in the midst of that, he's saying he stopped us, right? Showed them the receipt. He's saying that it's some item that's not paid for. >> Okay. Do you have Do you have the receipt? >> She has it. >> I'm talking I'm trying to be respectful. I'm talking to him. >> Okay. So, >> so then after that, he's saying, "But they started going back and forth. I'm telling her to give him receipt." All right. She not giving it to him. He's saying the stuff that's in that car is not paid for it, right? I'm like, "All right, cool. It's not paid for it. That's not my issue. I didn't bring this stuff up. The person that was in the back me up, but I paid for it. It's no issue. I show my car. I paid for it." >> Were you guys all together at one checkout counter? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, this items that you have right here, >> this right here is paid for a bunch of stuff. And that stuff is he went through that already. But he's saying >> all that stuff is good. That right there is not paid for. All I'm saying I will pay for it again. But he was making a big issue. My Uber is about my Uber is about to cancel. I said my over >> it cancel. >> No. Let me ask what I want. >> What? What? >> Let us bring the item to verify one after the other. Then >> yeah, that's what we're trying to do. Yes. >> Yeah, that's what that's what just we're trying to do. Hero resisted even this simple solution, arguing about the hassle. But the officer's patience was a thin veil over firm instruction. The carts were wheeled to the entrance. What happened next would strip away any remaining doubt and any chance for Kira to simply walk away. >> Where's your brother? Where's your brother? >> Uh, can I can I talk to >> Mhm. >> Yeah. We're outside. Did you call >> Can you just stand in here for a second? >> Stay right here. >> He just wants to verify the items on the receipt. >> Okay. >> So, >> all the items that she has outside. >> Yeah. Is Is that okay if we could just verify the items? He He literally verified it three times. I'm not kidding. >> Sorry. If we were to just verify the items right now and then he were to pay for whatever he had to pay for. >> No, forever. Whatever has not been paid for, they can only pay for after 24 hours. We just want to confirm all the items. If there are items that have not been paid for, like those >> So this right here has not been verified. >> So this stuff that's on top of this shopping cart has not been verified. >> This stuff right here. >> Yeah. This this is possible. Okay. >> Okay. So, we just have to we just have to verify this one. I'm touching. >> Yeah. This one. This one. >> How do you verify? >> This is what we're going to do cuz we're we're making this way way too complicated. >> Look, way too complicated, man. Do you mind if you just bring your shopping cart right here real fast? We'll just verify this stuff real fast. >> The quicker you cooperate, the quicker we're going to get. >> Yeah. Just look. We're just going to verify and then he said whatever. >> He just He just said the stuff that was good that's out there. Everything that's not good, he just put back there. That's what I'm saying. >> I I understand. Look, ma'am. Ma'am, ma'am. >> Okay, listen. At this point, we're doing investigating. >> Look, just bring it in. >> He just wants to verify this once again and then that's it. >> Can he come out here and do it? Because I'm not about to keep bringing this in and out. >> How about we How about How about we do this? I'll wheel one in. One in, and you will the other one in, right? >> Yeah. You need help doing it, right? The officer and store employee began checking the receipt against the items in the cart. It didn't take long for the gaps to appear. Baby wipes, diapers, infant clothing, two bottles of formula. Item by item, the unpaid merchandise was identified and laid out in plain sight. The evidence was no longer debatable. It was documented. >> We got this. B. >> He has the >> Let me go here. >> Okay. Oh, sorry. >> So, all you want to do, correct, is just verify stuff, right? Just listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. >> What you want to do is you just want to verify the items. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Camera. >> That's it. >> Yeah, that's it. >> Okay. All right. So, let's verify this real quick so we can get him out of here. Let's go. You have uh the receipt once for >> the camera show right there. Tell me running camera back that he just verified it three times. >> The camera's right there. Cameron's right there. >> All right. All right. Stop. What are we trying to do? What do you need? You need the receipt. >> Can I have the receipt? Let me have the receipt. >> I don't have to keep stealing this receipt if you just seen this eight times. The camera's right there. You going behind a counter. Count the [ __ ] That's right here. >> All right. Here we go. We got a mirror here. We got a TV. All right. All right, I think we can cross that off. Look, two t two uh two mirrors, one TV. >> Show three of these. Looks >> those not white. Those not diapers. >> Yeah, but one of them is not on it. >> Not on it. Is it not verified that counts? >> No clothes on the receipt. These are not >> those are not ones. Those are not. >> This is not one. So, can you bring it up right here? However, in a surprising turn, Walmart declined to press shoplifting charges. They just wanted the pair trespassed from the property. For most, this was a lucky break. But Kira's mindset had locked into a new target, the officers themselves. When asked for her identification to process the trespass, she made a choice that would define her entire night. >> They don't want to trespass you. Nothing. Okay. >> They just wish cuz it's already like it's already 11:02. They already shut down. Um if you could just come, he say come back tomorrow. Whatever the items are that you want to purchase, he'll purchase. He doesn't want to trespass you. Doesn't want anything. Just whatever. Okay. Okay, >> we'll just put this down as a misunderstanding. Understand? >> Okay, thanks. >> All right. Uh, did did you provide the other officer right here? >> Yeah, I don't have a No, I I said that I was 17, but they asked me did I have an ID and I said no. >> Okay. >> But my name is Sierra Williams. I called on the phone. >> You didn't do anything wrong? Why Why lie about who you are or how old you are or anything? >> Why about my age? >> Why do anything if you didn't do anything wrong? Why would you say >> I don't really want to get too in detail? I didn't know I had to get past like asking who I am and do I have ID. >> Why wouldn't you? >> Because I didn't do nothing for me to even give any information. >> Stop inside a store with more police officers and security. >> I called y'all though. I called y'all. >> I called y'all for my safety cuz they thought we were stealing. >> So, was there anything in your carts that you didn't purchase? >> Everything. He just verified. Am I correct? He just verified everything. He just checked each and every car. Whatever was not verified, he has. and he just told us he just came up to us and said whatever we need. >> She gave a fake name. Then she claimed she was 17 years old. The lies were immediate and sloppy. The officers now had a far more serious issue to deal with. As the confrontation escalated, Kira argued that she didn't need to provide identification because she hadn't done anything wrong. A claim that ignored both the unpaid items and her false statements to police. >> I got to we have to identify you first. So if you have an ID, give it to me now or else you're going to be waiting. >> I do not have an ID. I >> Okay. Why did you lie when and you said you're 17? Your math was off by 2 years. I know it was, but I just didn't dig. >> You're going to lie. At least do it right. But where's your ID? Give it to me now. >> I don't How you pressuring me about something that I do not have? >> How do you not have an ID? >> Because I don't have one. It takes >> You're 19 years old. >> I'm 20 actually. But I said 04. >> So what we're going to do is >> regardless, she said the wrong date. >> Give us your mother's name and her phone number. We're going to call her on the phone. Say you were 17. So we don't need to know. >> She's not. She said she gave you a different date now. >> I'm not 17. I'm 20. I don't know, man. >> I don't know how to I got to >> Do I have a picture? >> Yeah, but we still don't have a DL or anything. >> Yeah, we got to do it. So, we can trespass. >> I don't have a ID. >> Call your mom. >> My mom is not What is my mom going to say? >> So, we If you're 17, someone has to come pick you up. >> I'm not 17. >> Why did you lie? >> Because I didn't think I had to give y'all information about something that >> We're investigating a shot a possible shoplifting. >> But it's it's in >> and now you're trespassing from the source. So, now we have to identify it. Show me anything that can prove your name that you're telling me. Do you have a debit card or anything? You got nothing? >> I can't EBT. >> You have nothing with your name on it. >> Kenya, how old am I? >> No, I want to talk to one of your parents. >> My mom, she sleep. Oh, my dad. Hold on. >> Hello, Dad. How old am I? >> Dad, you sleep? My bad. Just How old is my dad? >> Just kidding. >> How old am I? >> Let me talk to your dad. I got to identify you. You're making it harder. >> I'm not making You're making it much harder. How am I making? I'm 20 years old and I don't give me anything that has your name on it. >> I don't have no I don't have I'm not lying. I literally >> You already lied. So why should I believe you now? >> We have a Starbucks card. >> Okay. Show me something with your name on it or you're not leaving. >> Well, then I can't leave. I have nothing. >> Or I can bring you into the police department and we can lock you up. >> Just lock me up. I have no >> We have to identify you at some point. >> Like I literally have my iPad. Like I don't know what you want. >> And what's your ID? >> I have no Why you telling me that I have ID when I don't? Officers then turned their attention to Kira's brother, warning him that backing up her false story could land him in serious trouble as well. >> You guys have been out here like 20 minutes ago. What's her name? >> She said her name. >> Okay. What is that? >> Tell me what it is. >> Oh, she said her name. All right. >> Tell me what it is. >> Sorry. She said her name, ma'am. She said her name. But I'm just saying you told >> All right. We're doing an investigation right now. If you don't >> You both could be arrested right now for traveling. There's your car. >> Look, I'm not I'm just letting you know, we're trying to prevent that. We want you guys to get in and get out of here. Okay, I need my name so we can get arrested for >> so you're properly trespassing you guys from the store. We need to properly ID you. >> Okay, this officer is verifying me. >> I'm trying to verify her. So I want to see if you're going to corroborate what she says. If not, she's getting locked up. So what is her first name? >> What do you mean? >> What is her first name? >> Why are we getting locked up for it? >> She's hindering apprehension. >> She might be. As long as your name checks in, you give us the correct information, you're fine. What's your first name? >> What's her first name? >> Why is you ask your name? >> Because I'm trying to corroborate the story. >> You're a shop owner. What's her first name? >> That's fine. He gives us >> I I have more than enough for hand. >> Faced with the possibility of her brother being arrested because of her lies, Kira finally cracked. She pulled an officer aside, her voice breaking as she confessed the truth. She was on probation and had panicked. But her confession came too late. By lying to police, she had created a new crime. Witnessed by multiple officers, captured on body cameras. Impossible to deny. >> I was going to talk to you out here. >> No. To me? >> Yes. >> Why? No, stay right here. You're not going out here. >> No, I want to talk to a person right here. >> Right here. Person to person. All right. Well, we can't stay. >> I don't want to go here. I want to stay right here. >> I feel comfortable talking out there. >> We'll go over here. I don't know why you want to go anywhere further than here. >> All right. >> Right here. I don't want you going out there. I'm not chasing. I >> don't even know. We don't have >> Stay right here. >> You could keep me in the corner. Look. >> Okay. Oh, wait. I just want to talk to her personally. >> Okay. Me for a second. I don't want to get in trouble. I didn't steal nothing. I wasn't doing nothing. But yeah, I did lie and I apologize. But I just don't want to get in trouble cuz I'm already on probation. But I wasn't stealing anything. >> If you're on probation, then you you should know by now that you need to be providing your proper information when you come across. >> I don't want to get in trouble because I don't >> We aren't there. They don't want to press charges on shop. You could have left here 20 minutes ago if you gave me your proper name. See how this is a problem, right? >> Why? Why did you lie? You have worries. >> No, I'm on probation. I mean, if they think that I'm stealing, I could go back to jail and I don't want that to happen when I wasn't stealing. >> Right. But so if you want to prove your case and you want to prove to people you're not stealing, you need to learn to cooperate with people. You can't be out here causing a scene because when you're causing a scene to me and my partners, my guard is up. I'm like, "Why is she causing a scene like this? Something's wrong." Then you're not cooperating with them. They're trying to get you out of here. They wanted to check your receipt and check the items and you would have been out. >> But now we have a problem cuz you lied. You lied to me twice. >> Okay. So stay here. Give me a second. I have to verify your identification. >> Kira Snipes was placed under arrest. As the handcuffs were secured and she was led to the patrol car, the reality of her situation began to sink in. >> I'm just going to go under. >> Huh? >> I'm just going to place her under. Here we go. >> Yeah. Not even close. >> I know. >> Do I get locked up? >> Yeah. I'm going to bring you in. So, just turn around. Take your bag off. >> Wait. Can I give my brother my stuff? Cuz he could leave. >> No. No. Just stay here. Stop. >> All right. >> Oh, wait. I could bring my phone. Listen, there's no reason we I would have worked with you if you didn't lie to me three, four times about your name. You want your brother to take this stuff? >> What? Yeah. >> Your purse? Yeah. >> Do you have anything else in your pockets? >> And you want me to take out? I'll reach for it. Just my phone. Just my phone. >> You want to take your phone with you? What you're saying? >> Um, no. Hinder. >> This is your brother. >> What do you mean? >> Yeah. >> I don't know if they're >> Who? >> You're not charging, right? >> Well, no. She gave me a false name three four times. >> You're not talking. What? >> What do you mean? Do I have to have a shop in charge for it? >> Did his name check out? >> Yes. >> Brudo said yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> You guys cannot do with anything. >> They want to trespass. >> He just said no. >> You're under for hindering. >> No, but I I I just I I own you because I didn't want to get in trouble cuz I was on probation. >> But you already lied to me three, four times. >> I only lied two times. I said my name was Sierra and I was 17. >> And you gave me the wrong date of birth. No, I changed it when you asked again. When you asked the third time, I gave it to you. I really don't >> this side. >> You have everything in your pockets. >> It does not. >> I just wrote down their information. >> Whose information? >> Stop moving. >> So, I can give it to >> Do you have anything under this? >> Just t-shirt. Sit down. Go sit. Go ahead and sit. I don't want the seat belt. Okay. Wait. Um, scoot in. >> No, I don't want the seat belt on. I feel uncomfortable. >> It's loose. It's policy and procedure. >> When the officers reached the station, they performed the procedure. >> So, just give us a couple seconds here. We'll get you on. All right. If you want to just go ahead and step out of here. >> No, wait. Wait one second. >> One second. One second. All right. You can step out of here now. >> I can't. Take your rest for me. >> And then do you have anything under that hooded sweatshirt? >> Yeah. >> What do you have under that? >> Compression shirt. >> Are you going to be cold if you >> I mean I'm sitting in the cell probably. Yeah. >> No, you're going to be sitting right here. >> Oh, dude. >> Um, so just give me those. I'll let you leave the black one on. All right. >> Just sit down for a sec. What? Um, I'm going to have you take that hat off, too. >> All right. My wig is Damn. Can I get my other jacket >> for what? >> This just broke. >> All right. Just Just sit for a sec. What's up with your hair? >> It's a wig. You want to see? >> Oh, it's in the hat. >> What's in the hat? >> No, no, no. It's two different things. >> Okay. Okay. Um, you can keep it on. Yeah, that's >> I just want the hat, that's all. >> Okay. >> You can do is take those shoes off. I'm just going to check on them. And then all your jewelry. What we're going to do is just take it off and I'll put it inside. >> My pierces can't come out. I don't earrings. >> Do you want me to do all the booking? >> This is my >> All right. So, look. You see? Look. Placing two earrings inside of here. We're going to log this. What? Let's take off that necklace you got. >> Oh, I'm going to go to the county. >> I'm going to the county. >> We're going to figure that. We're going to figure that out. I don't I don't want to say the wrong thing. that. >> Yeah, >> we'll figure this out. Okay. >> Once processed, Hero was allowed to make a phone call. During that call to her father, she framed the entire incident as an injustice, focusing on perceived bias rather than the choices that led her there. >> You can make a phone call. >> You want to make phone calls? >> What? Can you tell? No, cuz I was at Walmart and you know how I got EBT or whatever. I went fruit shopping for mommy and shop got his taxes and me and him was just going shopping at the store and then that's when the guy was like, "Oh, can I count your stuff?" Um, it looked like some of the stuff is not paid for, but we like we did pay for all of this stuff. Like I don't know. They just see, you know, when black people get money and we go to the store, they be really stealing every time. They arrested me because I told them false information cuz when I'm on probation and I don't have time for, you know, stuff like this to be on my name, which it is now. But I felt like me personally, I felt like I ain't have to give them information if I wasn't stealing. If I was stealing, all right, if I was stealing, I would have been like, they don't got me for taking nothing. But they got me because what is it? Hindering hindering. Lying obstruction. Obstruction. I ain't know my name and stuff. No, King is here. I just called her. But yeah, they just locked me up for um Well, they didn't lock Well, they didn't even process me, but it's just for lying about my name and stuff. I just thought I I didn't have to really tell them, but I didn't. No. Yeah, I go to probation in like two days. No, not two days. I'm on March 3rd. I go here. So, I'm going just tell her. I could call her up and just tell her, but they probably They probably going to take me to the client county. Huh? No, not now. She said they might release me from here, but I'm talking about prior to my probation. If depending on what they say, they might is. I don't know cuz I'm not supposed to be getting no charges. It's not that deep though. I can get this. I can go to court for and get this job cuz I I did not We can go to trial for this and everything. I I got my receipt. It's just they they caught me because I was lying about my name. It's not that. It's okay. Dad, Kenny's here, too. She said she's around. So, Dad, you don't have to. As long as you run out, I'm not going to the county. I'm I'm okay. And I'm you I'm literally using my phone to talk to you. So, I don't think I'm in trouble like that. King is outside, so there's nothing to worry about. I I didn't steal that. They They locked me up cuz I lied about my name. I didn't steal. I got my receipt. They checked my receipt. All right. All right. It's okay, Dad. All right. Let go. >> The officer delivered one final blow to Kira's disastrous day. Walmart had issued a lifetime ban. She was permanently trespassed from every Walmart in America. A consequence of the chaos she'd chosen to create. >> You do understand your trespassing that Walmart, right? You can't go back there. >> Yeah, I can't go back. >> If you do go back there, you're going to get locked up again. >> Okay. Is there a limit though or like forever? I think forever. [ __ ] You serious? >> That's on them. >> I didn't steal. >> I think it was just the whole incident in general. And I think if you were a little more cooperative with them, it probably wouldn't have been a problem. >> I was That's why I called y'all because he kept asking to see our receipt and was looking at the same things. He separated. >> But you have to understand that a big store like that, they have problems like this all the time. So if you if they didn't see you go through the regular registers and you guys pay for your stuff in the back and you're just walking out, of course they're going to try to question you. >> I paid at the front. He only paid for the back because he had the TV and stuff. >> Yeah. But that's probably that was probably why cuz they probably thought you went paid for something there and then you might have grabbed stuff on the way out. I don't know. >> I don't know. But I seen that man. He was watching the cameras back there. That's how I knew where he was at. He was when I went to the front cuz I tried to pay for my stuff in customer service. He's the one who told me that nobody's at customer service. So, I went and he literally watched me go to the like the selfch checkout. That's why I was confused on why you asking me how much stuff I have. You seen me and then you see my stuff right here. >> I don't even care. >> Can we do my fingerprints or we still got to wait for the >> I'm not fingerprinting you. >> Why? Cuz I don't have to. How? >> Because it's not a crime that negates you to be fingerprinted. It's just a disorderly person's defense. Guys, people are invitable. Oh, >> or if you're charging shot. We're just waiting for the complaints and then you're going to be good to go. Unless something changes or something crazy comes up. I don't think you're going to the county though for a disabled person's offense. >> Well, what did you get locked in for last time? If you don't mind me asking that you you're on probation. >> A car? >> Well, stole. It was a stolen car. Yeah, but technically I didn't steal plank. >> I didn't steal it, but it was somebody who stole it, but I just was in the car. >> Yeah, you get charged with that. >> With her identity confirmed and paperwork complete, Kira was released with a court date. The encounter that began with her calling 911 had reached its bureaucratic end. >> This is the questions I asked you. So, sign this line here. So, this is the property you can remove, your jewelry, your iPhone. That's everything else we have here. Just sign this line and this line. Okay. You all right? Mhm. Okay. We're going to release you now. Okay. >> I'm going to put this This is the uh complaint. You have a court date. It's on here. It says 3:13 at 10:30 a.m. I'm going to put it into your bag. Okay. >> Okay. >> The 25th February of uh February. >> So, your sister's in the front lobby. If you walk straight here and make a left, you'll get to the front lobby that way. Okay. >> In the end, Kira Snipes was not charged with shoplifting by Walmart. Instead, she was charged by the police with obstructing justice, hindering her own identity, criminal trespassing, and disorderly conduct. The most entitled shoplifter had successfully talked herself into a criminal record. Next up, we have the case of a serial offender who returned to the very store she was banned from running a meticulous sticker swapping scam at 6:00 a.m. >> Yeah, cuz she took some tags out of this clothing right here. She had more than that. I want a couple of those. >> Why? Why? >> What did I do wrong? Will I get a bond when I get there? >> On November 20th, 2024, officers in Georgia were about to witness how a methodical criminal's greed would trigger one of the state's harshest sentencing laws. Loss prevention had been watching Amanda Barber for over an hour. She wasn't just stealing. She was performing surgical price tag fraud. Each swap bringing her closer to a decade behind bars. >> How are you? >> Good. They're starting early, huh? >> What she did is she pulled a lot of tags from the socks. She stuck them on the watches and stuff. And then now she's um she's peeling off stickers and putting them on adult clothing. That's what she's doing. >> She's been here since 6:00. >> Jeez. Maybe she thought if she got here early enough, y'all wouldn't be here. >> Maybe. I don't know. How you been? I'm clear. >> I'm good. >> All the work that we have to go do just to go separate or fish out what was stolen and what was not stolen. Goodness. >> So, do you want me to go ahead and grab her and >> No, that's it. I guess we'll wait till she goes to the I told them once she gets to our register, leave her alone. She might be getting ready. She has more than that. She just put a lot of stuff back. I think her budget is like halfway full. >> I say the altering tags is enough for us. >> See their own watches on the jewelries. 1913 Central. >> Officers continued watching as Amanda filled her cart. Walmart's advanced system allowed them to see exactly what prices she was scanning at selfch checkckout and none of them matched the real value of the merchandise. Still, officers waited. They didn't intervene. They wanted to be certain the crime was complete before stepping in. >> Been here since 6:00 in the morning. >> Good lord. >> Both units back in service. Herbal only status. See >> that one? She added something on that. She stuck something in there. Are you able to see the whatever she's scanning? In addition to cameras, loss prevention also has the ability to remotely view the price of every item that is scanned across the registers. >> See it has a different type of see $1 $1 that you got >> that is 29. So maybe she didn't she didn't mean to go scan that $30. Call it um let them know. Leave her alone. She took that $30 one. >> She can see boys t-shirt for $3.99. That's pants. >> Walmart. Don't play. >> This one she didn't get a chance to go change the tag on this one. >> So is that stuff that she's not going to ring up? Yeah, cuz she took some tags out of this clothing right here. She had more than that. She had more than that. No, she wanted to pay cash. >> So, are y'all just going to count towards her theft, the things that she rung up and altered like the boys tea? Do y'all do like the difference or do y'all do the total? >> Well, what we do is we refund whatever she scanned and then I will charge her with the one >> the full price of the pants. >> Yes. I guess she's still debating. What else do you want to take? southbound lane. The Honda kicking out of the runway. She left a dollar. >> She left a dollar. All right, let's go nab her. Where she going? >> Where'd she go? >> Yep. >> After finishing her scan, Amanda tried to leave when officers stepped in. Confused, she kept asking what she'd done wrong as they escorted her to the loss prevention office. When asked for identification, her calm collapsed. She begged, mentioned her children, and pleaded for leniency. But what happened next was something officers hadn't expected on a quiet morning. Yes. Captain Par. >> Why? Why? >> What did I do wrong? >> Go speak in the office. We can go speak in the office. >> Okay. >> I'll take this, please. All we'll just leave it here for right now. >> Am I going to jail? >> We'll talk in the office over here. >> Have a seat for me. Have a seat right here. Okay. >> Do you have an ID card? No, ma'am. What did I do wrong? I didn't steal anything. You changed facts, didn't you? I did. Ma'am, please don't press charges. I will. I got the kids everything coming up. Please, ma'am, don't. >> You got your ID? >> I don't. Go ahead. Please don't make me go to jail. Wait a minute. What's your name? Amanda Barber. >> Hey. >> Stop. You're going to get tased. You better stop right now. >> My kid. Kids. Oh, I'm so sorry. >> Put your hands behind your back now. >> So sorry. >> Put your hands down now. That's for sure. >> Boy, get over. >> Stop. >> I'm so sorry. >> Stop moving. >> I'm so sorry. >> I'm going definitely going into >> Stop moving. >> I'm sorry. >> Will I get a bond when I get there? >> You grab my body camera. >> Yeah. Please don't make me. >> You ran. >> I promise. Please, the kids, the holiday's coming up. >> That's on you. >> I'm going to jail. >> Oh, yeah. >> The attempt to run didn't last long. Moments later, the chase was over. Officers placed Amanda Barber in handcuffs and escorted her to a patrol car. The confidence she'd shown inside the store was gone, replaced by frantic questions and apologies as reality set in. >> Will I get a bond? >> Sure. today. Will I get a bond? >> Hey, hold her real quick. >> Can I bond myself out? >> Stop asking questions right now. >> Would y'all really take a movie even if I went around ran? >> Well, you lost the possibility of not. >> We don't know. That would have been on her if it was just some pants. Probably not. >> Can I call someone to come get me? >> Nope. You can wait. Do y'all let people bond themselves out? I'm sorry I ran, y'all. She went home. >> You just want to put her in the back of my car. >> No, I sit with her. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Have a seat. >> Can I buy myself out with that money? Look, this is going in your pocket. >> Yes, sir. >> And I'm giving him this. Okay. >> That's what you left in the machine. >> Stupid. But while Amanda worried about immediate consequences, officers were uncovering something far more damning from her past. A store manager's memory sparked. He remembered this name. Years earlier, he had personally dealt with Amanda Barber, arrested for the exact same price tag switching scheme. The system confirmed what everyone now suspected. But as the computer refreshed, an even more devastating detail appeared on the screen. >> I I know Amanda Barber from >> years ago. She got caught chopping years ago when >> it's not her. It's not Amanda. >> Oh, I don't know. I was asking. I might >> worked in 10 minutes old. But that's >> Thank you. >> No, but we we caught her years ago when Mark was still here. >> 1913. >> If that's her real name, Amanda Barber. >> Can you try to get her name date of birth again? What's your name and date of birth? >> Amanda Barber. >> What was the year? >> 1986. >> Amanda Barber. 1913 Central Barber. God. >> Amanda Barber 6. 86 white female. >> I'm sorry. >> You don't have to apologize. >> Holidays are coming up. I got kids for the holidays. I shouldn't have Why did I do that? >> Will I get a warrant when I or a bond when I get up here? >> Possibly, but you probably won't even get one till you go to the county. >> Can I b myself out? >> I'm sure you can. >> I'm sorry. Are y'all going to charge me with running? >> Yes. >> Is that a misdemeanor? >> Yes. >> What is it called? >> Obstruction. Amanda Barber was already under a permanent trespass order. She had been banned for life from that very Walmart. Her presence in the store wasn't just theft. It was a separate deliberate crime. With her identity confirmed and her history laid bare, her situation went from bad to irreversible. >> Buffer out of LJ is invalid negative. She's showing 25 and a TO that she is banned from Walmart on this >> and trespass. Is that another charge? Yeah, >> you're already banned. >> You knew you were trespassed from Walmart. >> Good God. I'll leave this unlocked. >> Is that her? >> Yeah, she was trespassed already. So, we'll get her for the trespass. >> So, you got I I can't access our old file. I just have >> she was on our old apist case. >> Remember her years ago? Years ago service. >> And when her babies were little, she was >> stealing like makeup and stuff like that. And we sent her to jail too. >> Are they getting the amount? >> Yes. Yeah, they're doing the amount right now. >> It's too early for this. >> Too early. You're right. And I said just something dummy. Why would you go run? So, why did she stop over here? >> I guess cuz she can't cross over there. >> Uh, >> I don't know. >> I told her she was going to get tased. >> Oh, >> I wasn't going to, but >> I usually get some >> They stop. >> Yeah. >> She took off running. She crazy. >> Early, >> right? Too early for that. >> I'm not going to jail. You are now. >> You are now. >> You actually had a chance to not. >> You have You have more. Oh, >> thank you. >> Do you want me to do Oh, I still have to do her refund. Do you want me to take an account for all of the tags that she tore off or just the attempted? >> Um, just the one that is went through the register. And I I need those merchandise, too. >> The one that she >> Yeah, that was in her pocket. >> Okay. So, 786. So, she's stressed, too. >> Yep. at least 10 years ago when they got her. So, she's been coming in here. She She looks different though. >> Yeah. It look like she was banned from a lot of stores like Academy and I think Target. >> Yeah. >> But, you know, we we don't you don't have to go burn anything under this. We can you can Ur file. >> Yeah, that sounds good. Cool. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Appreciate you. >> With her record and trespass violation confirmed, there was no release. Officers transported Amanda Barber to the station to be formally booked. Her path to prison now beginning. >> Bond today? >> I don't know, ma'am. That that's something that the jail and the court steal. I'm I don't do that. You'll find out when you go to Perry. Take this off. >> We will when we get in there. >> I don't want to rob you. >> Amanda Elizabeth Barber was charged with felony shoplifting enhanced due to three prior convictions, criminal trespass for entering while banned, and obstruction for attempting to flee, citing Georgia's strict repeat offender statute. A judge sentenced her to 10 years in prison. Next, we have a shoplifter whose reaction to arrest would transform a misdemeanor into attempted murder of a police officer. Come here, guys. Cuz that's what I do. Nothing on you that I need to know about. >> Something crazy happened. On December 18th, 2025, police were called to a store for a shoplifting complaint. A man and a woman were detained without incident. At first, it appeared to be nothing more than a routine arrest. It wasn't officers transported both suspects to a secure interior control room for processing. They conducted patowns, secured their belongings, and had them sit down. Everything followed standard procedure except for the man. From the start, he appeared tense, his eyes constantly scanned the room, his body rigid, as if he were waiting for the right moment to act. Let's go. Come on. This way, guys. >> Yeah, probably. Unless you guys did something crazy. You didn't do anything crazy, did you? You should be using up charge. Come on, guys. Come on, guys. Go. Come here, guys. >> Cuz that's the way it is. >> Have a seat. You got anything on you I need to know about? Why your hand in your pockets? >> It's my fault. I'm going >> pat you down real quick. All right. >> That's cool. >> Nothing on you was going to poke me, stab me. Okay. Nothing on you that I need to know about. >> I do have this. >> No. >> What's in there? >> They only car. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead and see for me. Anything else in there I should know about my man? The questioning began simply enough. Officers asked for his name. He refused, offering obviously false information with a hostility that immediately raised red flags. His female companion watched nervously as the tension in the room ratcheted higher with each evasive answer. >> What's your name? >> What's up? >> What's your name? >> Xavier. >> Xavier what? >> Because my man, if you don't cooperate, we'll put you in handcuffs. Xavier was I I'll give you I'll give you my resource. >> I figured that was not right. Thank you for asking for that. is unless something crazy happened. Not just you. >> You did it, too. So, >> we watched you walk over and put item in the bag off the shelf. What happened next was something that no one in that room expected. Hey, hey, no, no, no, no. Use your hand now. Don't touch it. >> Do not touch. or sorry. >> The sergeant arrived at the chaotic scene. The officer, the intended victim, explained how the suspect's gun jammed and how Conrad tackled him. The sergeant then issued essential orders to secure the suspects and the weapon for the investigation. Good. >> Oh, yeah. What's happened? >> He pointed right at my face and pulled the trigger. >> Under the seat. >> Who all was in here? >> All of us. All three APM. >> Uh, you're out. So, we'll do the investigation. >> Uh, where they at? >> He ended up tossing the gun. >> No, he ended up dropping it cuz he went to rack it. As he racked it, Conrad tackled him and fell down. >> Sarge, I don't know if you want the DV out here for this. Get these two for theft. Have them in here. They're cooperative. He's being kind of weird, but he hands me that full pills. Okay. >> So, I do pat him down, but I I didn't get his pouch that he had. So, as I'm sitting there, he lies about his name. Finally tells me it's been inquiry just told me he's got 881s. I didn't even He's armed and dangerous. Soon as he does it, he pulls a gun out, puts it on my head, pulls the trigger, doesn't go off. Conrad comes over here to tackle him. I draw. Um he ends up giving up. I couldn't take a [ __ ] as Conrad was on my way. Guns over there. >> Okay. Leave. Leave. Leave. >> They have I think they have the suspect. >> Yeah, there's two. There's two suspects. >> Oh, yeah. You guys Okay, then you guys run them. Start getting You got the male or female? I think we have the female. >> Yeah. Running all her stuff. Let's get her formate going and get her out the county. Her charge is going to be theft. >> That's all I I was going to release him. That was the thing. Like it was just going to be a summon. >> Did she do anything during all this? >> I mean, not not the the >> just the theft, right? >> So, we can get her and cut her >> like her pocket. >> Make sure she's not under her disability. If she has hair with that, too. >> Do you want the DB to interview her, though? >> Um, you know what? Yeah. >> The sergeant reviewed the security footage of the terrifying incident. As he did, another officer watching alongside him made a shocking identification. He revealed the gunman was Shane Newman, a felon he had personally arrested years before for trafficking hundreds of prescription pills. >> Who is he? >> Shane Newman. He doesn't have I didn't hear what his warrants for. >> I've arrested. >> Nothing in this going to be a >> Yeah. You know what? I arrested him. He had 237 bromeazzeline pills. I got them with traffic and he went to prison. Yep. Those are the those ones though. Those actually may be uh zany. >> No, fennel. Yeah, that's exactly what he was selling when I pulled him over with that girl. Or it was a different girl. The girl was real skinny. He had 237 of them. >> Do you have a gun, too? No, you just have to go. >> We got legal conveyance of weapon programs in a detention facility. That alone makes them under visibility. >> Well, I mean, I think his uh victim's going to be attempted. >> Well, yeah, but if I can also I'm going to call Gams cuz if we can put anything federally on him too, we'll go to that round. Were >> you supposed to work today? >> Was it your day off? >> I took the day off and I'm supposed to work uh Christmas factory there. >> I'm happy you're all right now. >> Oh, it would have been my life. >> Oh yeah. >> I mean, you pointed right at my face. Look at that. >> Feel better for them for 30 plus years. Hopefully they take it. >> He tried. He tried to do it again. Look. >> Thank God for Conrad. I guess I'm putting them in for an award, but I'll get another year. >> I was going to right here, >> but Conrad was there. >> I guess I turn this off. >> Jane Newman was charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer, assault with a deadly weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The shoplifting charge was the least of his concerns. Moving on to the case of a shoplifter who stuffed stolen Nike gear into her clothing and still claimed total innocence. >> Uh, we believe you stuffed stuff in your purse and walked out of dicks with it. >> No, I have not. No, I have not. Can you call your supervisor? >> I am the supervisor. >> Stop. >> You're the supervisor. >> And you're sitting up here. You're sitting up here telling me I'm detained because of what? >> Just put your hands behind your back. Okay. If you if you go on to see the video, you will see that I've not actually >> I have a I have my partner in there right now looking at the video. >> On June 13th, 2024, deputies responded to a Dick's sporting goods store. Employees reported watching a woman conceal several high-value Nike clothing items in her large purse. Officers arrived to find the suspect still in the mall, completely unaware her entire scheme had been witnessed. Police met with the store manager and an employee in the mall corridor. The employee explained they had watched the suspect place men's Nike apparel into her black purse in the changing room area. >> What's going on? So, it's the lady behind you, but I think she's checking out at this point. She had stuff in her bag, but she went in figure and seal it in her bag. >> What was it? >> So when Jake opened her, he looked her back like was openish, I guess, and he saw stuff in her bag. >> The uh the purse. >> Yes. >> But we don't know though at all. He might have gotten it on video. I don't know. He went to >> What kind of stuff would it be? >> And then Nike clothing. I'm pretty sure. >> Okay. >> Did you have the same check? >> I'm okay. >> Like what kind of stuff would it be? Oh, this is a men's 19 section. >> Shirts or pants? Tell you about >> shoes. Okay, let me go out here and I'll talk to her after she gets out. She didn't check out. She's walking that way. >> Yeah. Did she buy what you guys were saying she had in her purse? >> Her car was her card kept. >> Okay. >> Deputies located Cameron in the mall. When they approached and informed her she was suspected of theft. Her reaction was instant defiance. She immediately questioned why she was being detained, denied taking anything, and demanded to see the video proof that officers already possessed. >> I'll come down with you. So, you have to walk back up. >> Yes. >> How are you? >> I'm good. >> I'm talk to you at the bottom. >> How are you? >> I'm fine. >> Well, for what? All right. Where was the mail at? >> This is crazy. >> I'm talking to me. I'm going to >> I really don't have I don't have to talk to nobody. So, I'm >> You do have to talk to us. >> What do I do? >> Uh, we believe you stuffed stuff in your purse and walked out of dicks with it. >> No, I have not. No, I have not. So, do you do have do you have me on camera doing that? >> We do. >> Okay. Can you show me? >> We'll get to it. Yeah. I on you. >> Do Do I have an ID on me? >> We don't have to go that far. >> Yes, we do have to go that far because I I have I haven't touched that before. So, therefore, can you can you show Can you show me on camera that that I took something? >> Here's where we're going to start. Do you have an ID on you? >> No, I don't have ID on me. >> Okay. What's your social >> for for what? >> I believe you shoplift. >> Am I am I being detained? >> You are. >> Yes, ma'am. >> What am I being detained for? >> For shoplifting theft. >> What did I What did I take? >> We don't know yet. We got >> some green items. >> Some green items. the items? >> No, I have not. >> Okay. >> Well, you still have to tell me who you are. >> Soon as soon as I walked up, the lady was like, "Oh, um, are you paying for that hat?" I said, "The head that I the head that I walked in here with." >> Why would I be paying for a head that I walked in here with? >> Okay. >> I'm being I'm being pro I'm being profiled for what? >> What's your social security number? >> Am I being What am I being detained for? >> You are being detained? >> Because of what? >> Because of a theft or possible theft? >> A possible theft. Did you see me? Did they see me take anything? Did you guys take >> That's why we're here, ma'am. >> Did you see me on camera? >> That's why that's why we're here. We just don't come here and talk to random people about >> Okay. So, this is this is how it can go. >> I want to be cooperative, but I'm asking you. >> Did you see me on camera? >> Detained. >> We're investigating a theft. I need to know. >> Did you see me on camera take anything? >> We'll get to that. I need to know who you are. >> My name is Cameron. >> The confrontation escalated. Cameron continued to demand evidence, asking repeatedly if she was on camera. Officers calmly explained they were investigating a theft and needed her identification. She refused to provide it, questioning their authority and suggesting she was being racially profiled instead of addressing the allegations. Honey, cooperate with us. We'll cooperate with you. It's It's even if you did, it's a misdemeanor. We don't We're not here. If you don't work with us, we're not going to work with you. We've got a few options that we can do. >> I understand that. But sir, I did not. So, the fact that >> Okay. So, listen. I'm think about my hat. >> I don't know about the hat >> cuz that's that's that's what I'm thinking. You You got something to refer a hat that I can't I walked into the store with. They didn't say anything to me. They didn't stop me. Hey, did you have They didn't say anything to me. So, that's >> Listen to me. That's fine. We don't care about the hat. We don't care about the hat. Okay. This is all we This is all we're saying.

Is there are there camera in the changing room? >> Not in the change room. Somewhere in there somewhere outside. I don't know. >> I would I would let it. >> But anyway, >> who are you at digest today? >> My boyfriend. >> Why? >> Where's he at? >> Why? >> Because we want to talk to him as well. >> For what? Did he take anything? >> On the phone with him. >> Did he take anything? >> We're trying to figure >> We'll let you know in a minute. We're not with him right now. The other deputies are. >> Okay. Well, I No, >> go ahead and hang up the phone so we can talk to you and you don't have to talk to two people. >> Hello. >> Hello.

Yes. I'm not I'm not I'm not doing that. >> We're not. >> Copy. We're going to have her detained. Step over here to my car with me, please. >> So, what?

Possible theft. That's what we're here investigating. We're trying to do this easier. Okay. >> I mean, we're not here to we don't just come here and harass people. We don't even want to come here. >> Faced with her continued refusal to cooperate, officers made their decision clear. They informed Cameron she was being detained and needed to come with them to their patrol vehicle. Her reaction shifted from argumentative to confused and angry as the reality of her detention set in. >> I'm trying to figure out why that's >> going to need a female. >> Go ahead with it. >> What? What? What? What? What? >> Cameron Patrice died female out of Cincinnati. >> She's suspended showing out of Indiana, South Africa. >> That's clear. What for? >> Do I have anything as far as like, you know, do will they get in trouble for accusing me of something that I that I had that I have not took it? >> No. They get stolen from pretty often. They're pretty good at this. >> Okay. Well, that's that's them.

No, that's not >> You're being detained for right now. >> What am I being detained for? >> Because it looks like you have stuffed in your shirt. >> You got stuff. You got stuffed in your shirt bag. >> But you can't tell me. >> Then prove it. Then prove it to me. Let us and we'll be done. >> You can't you you No, you you didn't you didn't tell.

So, why are why are you taking my purse? >> Uh-uh. >> We're not taking your purse, but you can't go in the back of that cruiser with me. >> We don't we wouldn't if you were a male with anything, you don't go in the back of a cruiser with anything. >> Why do I have to sit in the car? >> Cuz we got to go look at the video. >> Why can't I come get the video video with you?

If you just if if there's nothing in that person, we're done. We're done. I've never been through this situation. So, >> you're not answering the question. >> Okay. >> Give me your purse and you're having a seat in the back of your car. >> Standing by the patrol car, the officer presented a choice. Admit to the theft and receive a summon or continue denying it and be taken to jail. Under this pressure, Cameron's story finally broke, but her confession was only partial. She admitted to having items, but claimed they were not from this store. >> Said there's several ways we can do this. >> Sir, can you not? I'm not Why you Why you grabbing me like that? >> I'm not grabbing you anything. They Why are y'all taking my purse? >> Your purse is getting set up here. >> Okay. >> You don't have anything on you, do you? >> No, I don't have anything on you. >> No like knives or anything? >> No, not knives on No, I don't. >> Do you mind lifting your shirt up to make sure there's nothing in your in your waist?

We didn't we didn't know who you were until we walked in and the store pointed you out to us. >> I understand that, supervisor. >> Have a seat to me. >> I understand that, supervisor. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, we're going to have a female officer come here and she's going to patch you down. >> Okay, I understand that. >> Is there anything on you that they're going to find that is illegal? >> I.e. items that we're taking and stuffed into your >> Just tell us now. I mean, cuz it's going to be a lot easier in the long run. We already know the answer, but we're trying to if you cooperate with me, I'm going to cooperate with you. >> There's two ways this this can go. Jail or I can give you a summon, a ticket for a misdemeanor, and you can go to court whenever we assign you that date. What works best for you. If not, I can take you to jail. If you don't have anything on you, then you don't really >> I do have Okay, listen. I do have things from me, but it's not from this store. >> Okay. What store is it from? >> It's not from this store. It's not even from It's not even from this mall. >> Okay. >> So, that's that's >> why would you have it in there then? I don't understand it >> because that's from that's from a barbecue >> to block the things that you walk through. >> No, I was getting off. >> No, that's from my barbecue. >> Did you pay for these items? >> They're not from the store. So, I was going up there trying to put how to put things together. The lady even seen me >> get back in the car. >> I'm sorry. I apologize. >> We know you're being nice. I know you're nervous. We're trying to make this easier. >> The lady even seen me take them out. Like >> the lady saw you put these in her purse. >> No, not put not put it in my purse at all. >> They have you on video putting these in your purse. They don't have me on. I can promise you they don't have me on video now because I brought them in here with me. >> The officer had heard enough. As Cameron insisted she brought the items into the store. He moved to handcuff her. Her claims of innocence grew more desperate. What she didn't know was that another officer had already reviewed the surveillance footage. >> Step out and turn around and put your hands on you. >> I'm going to go in there and see what we got. >> Why you put five handcuffs on? He just said, >> "Why you put handcuffs when you >> Because you're lying." >> I sir, I'm not. I promise you. >> Step out here. >> I promise you. If you >> just put your hands behind your back, okay? If you if you go in and see the video, you'll see that I've not actually >> I have I have my partner in there right now looking at the video and he just said that you're on video placing those items in your purse. >> No, sir. I have not. I promise you ago. >> But she didn't buy anything, correct? >> No. Kept on declining. >> A female with a brown or burgundy shirt. She's on camera placing clothing items in her black bag, >> but she does like hide hangers back here, which I actually think that she had pocketed. >> She gave a sensor tag to one of our employees after she came out of the room and claimed it popped off. >> Yeah, I said that happened. >> That didn't happen. >> Not suspicious at all. Confronted with the fact that officers had watched the video, Cameron's last line of defense crumbled. She stopped denying and began to confess, offering apologies and explanations for her earlier behavior. With the truth now emerging, the officer read her Miranda rights to proceed formally with the investigation. >> Can I please say something? Please, please, please, please. >> I apologize. Okay. >> Okay. >> Yes, I took took some things, but all of the things were not from this location to be exact. So once the lady was like, "Oh, uh, are you going to pay for that? Are you going to pay for that sun visor hat?" That's what threw me off about. That's what was like, "Okay, I'm about to I'm about to just leave." >> So that's um >> Go ahead. >> Where do you want Mason to meet you? >> I'm at the lower parking garage of Dicks off of Blake Street. >> Okay. >> Like I really I I have I have two kids. I have to go get my daughter my daughter's from daycare at 5:30. >> Okay. >> Um, >> is your boyfriend here? What What does he drive? >> No, I made I l I literally tried to make that up as far as the whole >> Well, there was somebody here with you. >> Yeah, but he went the um son of a butcher >> to wait for you. >> No, he left. He was like, I'm not. He said he said I'm not. Is >> that who you were on the phone with when we came up to you? >> No, that was my sister. >> Okay. >> And I can show you I can show you that on my recent phone my recent phone calls. >> Have you ever been read your Miranda rights? I'd love to keep talking to you, but I can't talk to you anymore until I read these to you. Do you understand that? >> So, I'm going to read these just to get it out of the way. >> Okay. >> I'm a police officer. I warn you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in a court law. You understand that? >> Yes, sir. >> After acknowledging her rights, Cameron began to cooperate fully. She detailed exactly which Nike clothing items she had taken. Then she revealed there was still more stolen merchandise hidden in her clothing. The full scope of her theft, which she had desperately tried to downplay, was now laid bare. >> What? So you said you came in here with some of these but not all of them. Which items did you take? Is it the green stuff? >> The Yes. Um the the pink the black one, the white one, and the pink one. >> The black one, the white one, and the pink. >> Yeah. Well, yes. This one, the black This black one, and the white one, and the pink one. >> Where did these come from? >> These are I was trying to get these. I was trying to match up with some shorts, some shorts for them, but I didn't see the colors of the shorts. >> So, you're not going to be on video putting these in your purse? >> No, they're not. They're not going to see me on video put in my purse. I don't know. >> I don't know which. >> Did you pay for anything in there? >> Did you just walk up to the cash register, saw us up there, and walk this way? >> No, I was I was I was going to pay for it $111, but my client I asked her if they had any have ATM in there. She said, "No, they don't have ATM." >> All right. Have a seat again. Okay. Nice. So, like um >> is there items in your shirt right now, too? >> I guess I have one item in my shirt right here on my um on my bra. >> Okay. Leave it there. >> Okay. >> I'm going to have a female officer from Mason come here and she's going to help you get that out. Okay. >> Okay. >> I I'm not going to do that with you. All right. >> Okay. >> Don't reach for it. Don't be pulling around. >> I'm not I'm not doing I'm not doing any of that. >> Okay. Watch your feet. All right. >> I'm sorry. >> Hey, Dress. >> Yeah. >> He's going to verify if it came from here. If it didn't, then we got to wait till the officer gets here. >> She's got more in her shirt. >> She said she for sure took these. >> Those are ours. Those are ours. >> These and then these are the same as the rest of them. So, >> yeah. All the Nike ones are from our table. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Can you get me a voided receipt for these items? >> Well, hold on. >> We got to wait. There's more in there. Have you asked for >> No, I didn't. I want >> Did you try to get her to give us what was in her shirt? >> Uh, she refuses. >> She said it's in there. She I Miranda and she told me she stole it. >> Okay. >> Um, I'm going to take her cuz that's fine. >> Faced with the certainty of going to jail, Cameron made a final emotional appeal. She cried, pleading that she had to pick up her two young daughters from daycare. The officer acknowledged her distress but remained firm. He stated clearly that her own uncooperative and dishonest behavior was the reason she was in this position. So, we're going to wait for the for the officer from Mason to pat you down, search you, get whatever else is on you. We're going to get a total for the items that were taken. I'm going to collect the video. Uh, and then I'm going to talk to my sergeant about whether what we're going to do with you. >> Um, okay. Okay. Listen, listen. Please listen. >> I'm listening. >> I'm I'm This is on camera, so I know I'm my only support system. Like, I do have to go pick up pick up my daughter from school at 4:30. Like, this is >> What school do they go to? Nobody to nobody to be able to get them at all. Like I I don't like even if even if you guys take me to go get them like I just to make sure they get to where they at. Like I can't >> Who drove you here? >> I caught a um I had caught an Uber here. >> Who were No, you didn't. >> I here with a male. >> Yeah. Yes. Yes. That's >> That was your Uber? >> No, I met I met him here. I literally met him here. I promise you. And I can I can call him right now. He'll tell you. And you can check the cameras on the outside. I did not I met him here. I did meet him here. I did not. That's that's the honest truth. I'm tired of lying. I cuz my my daughters need me. Like I I promise you. >> How many daughters do you have? >> I have two. >> How old? >> I have a six-year-old and a three-year-old. >> Okay. >> And they attend will treat daycare. I can call daycare and and and so you can you can hear that they're that they're there. Their presence. >> Good relationship with your mom and aunt. >> My mom, she's a flight attendant. >> She's a flight attendant. >> Yes. >> That's pretty cool. >> And she's out of she's out of out of the week. Like I promise you like I'm sorry. I I I apologize. Like this is for even being uncooperative. But I knew I had to get them and I didn't I just didn't want you both. >> Well, you you're making it you made it pretty difficult with the way that you behaved when we first >> I know because I thought I was going to go to jail. I swear. I promise. I promise. >> As they waited for a female officer to arrive for the search, the process was delayed. To move things along, the officer asked Cameron to remove the hidden merchandise herself. She complied, pulling three more stolen items from inside her shirt. With all the evidence now recovered, she was placed in the patrol car and taken to jail. >> Are you able to get that out with your handcuffs? >> Yes. Yes. If you take my handcuffs off, I can get it out with my hands. I promise you. But I didn't I swear I didn't know that this was an option. >> There's nothing else in there but clothes. No weapons, nothing. >> I promise you. >> I'm going to take this off. >> Take my take my head off and my glasses. >> Damn, you're missing a arm on here. Step off. >> Okay. as far as >> Is that it? >> That's it. All right, you can cover yourself back up. >> That works. >> That's it. >> Okay, >> that's it. >> Put your hands on your back again. Okay. >> Okay. >> We'll fix your shirt. >> It's this like it's just the back out. >> Yeah. >> Oh, the front part. Sorry. >> Yeah. All right. Have a seat. >> Okay. >> Uh the way you were when we first started talking to you, he wants you to go to jail. You will you will have a bond. Okay. So, you can call somebody and they can come get you out through a bondsman for 10%. Cameron Patrice was arrested and charged with theft for concealing and removing merchandise. She was told she would have a bond set at the jail, which she could post at 10% through a bondsman to secure her release. If you thought that was wild, wait for the shoplifter who thought he could outrun the police after getting caught red-handed in a grocery store. >> Okay. Where's the other guy you're with? >> No, no, no, no. Where's the other guy you're with? >> Amigo. >> The amigo? >> Yeah. Where's the amigo you're with? >> Amigo. >> Hold on. Hold on. Give us a minute. We're trying to investigate something. Don't leave. All right. We got to investigate something. Hey, hey, hey. >> 70. He's running. >> On March 8th, 2025, officers were dispatched to a local supermarket after staff reported two suspicious males rapidly filling carts with merchandise before heading straight for the exit. By the time police arrived, one suspect had already fled, leaving the other trying to act clueless in the middle of the store. >> What's going on, man? I'm talking to you. What's going on? What's going on? >> How about espanol? >> Okay. Where's the other guy you're with? >> No, no, no, no. Where's the other guy you're with? >> Yeah. Where's the amigo you're with? >> Yeah. Yeah. Where's the amigo? >> Here's the thing. The door's locked. You're not going anywhere, right? So, we're just trying to figure out what's going on. >> 56 and 70. You speak Spanish? Hold on. Hold on. Give us a minute. We're trying to investigate something. Don't leave. All right. We got to investigate something. All right. >> He said that he got dropped off >> by what car? >> A truck. A blue truck. >> A blue truck. Yeah. You just got dropped off. He's saying his Mexican boss left him. He's saying that he got dropped off to do uh what's it called to buy stuff and now he feels offended because everyone's following him and all that stuff. >> What about the other guy that was waiting? >> He said that it's he met him here. >> No, he said >> so this just so I have this correct. He got dropped off here by his boss in a blue truck. He met another subject here. They both decided to load carts full of merchandise and then just Right. >> You got his ID. >> No, he said you don't have an ID. I got his name. >> Date of birth. >> Yep. I got his name. Alexander. >> Address. He says he doesn't know his phone number. >> What's your address? >> I got it right here. He's saying he feels uncomfortable that he doesn't know. He's saying that he hasn't committed a crime. He wants to leave. >> He's committed the crime of trespassing. Tell him he's trespassing. We have to give him a warning that he can no longer be here. Okay. >> When questioned, the man fumbled through broken English, claiming he'd been dropped off by his boss in a blue truck to buy supplies, not steal them. He insisted he didn't know the other guy, didn't have an ID, and somehow couldn't even recall his own phone number. Officers, however, weren't buying it. >> So, he says that uh he doesn't know his phone number. The info he gave me his name, date of birth, and address. He says he lives The guys who dropped him off is Juan Rodriguez, who also lives at him, lives with him. He says the the black gentleman that was in here before. He doesn't know him. He just came in here. He was going to pay for all those stuff with his zel, but now he's offended and he wants to leave and he's not going to he's not going to buy the items anymore. He's just going to leave. >> Did we explain to him that he >> that he's trespassed? >> Wait, did we explain to him that they've been reported by other stores and He says that he wasn't there. Okay. He's saying that he was just going to buy it with zel and he was saying he's a hard worker. Okay. Okay. So, >> where's the other guy? >> We still can't find him. You think he's still somewhere in the store? >> We search the whole store, the banks, everything like that. We can't find him. >> We could do one more walk through with someone who knows the store better than us if they like, but he came from that way. >> Then the manager found the other cart back over here. >> Someone were standing by the door the entire time. didn't see anybody walk out. So, um, but like I don't know if I look at that picture on uh his screen, but I don't think it's SI. >> As investigators dug deeper, they realized other stores had flagged the suspect for similar thefts. They calmly explained that he was being trespassed and needed to verify his identity. Everything seemed routine until the suspect's masks slipped and the situation flipped in an instant. Who >> was Hey, hey, hey. 70 is running. We're running towards the street towards Panera. Hey people. Hey Back up. >> Sorry. >> I got him. You >> got him. [ __ ] here, bro. >> Get up. >> Got you. Trespassing, man. >> What happened, man? nothing short. Search. You got it. You got it. >> Suddenly, the suspect started running away from the store, shoving the doors open and taking off across the open parking lot. But at this point, it was officially game over for the suspect. >> You got anything else on you? >> I thought I got in better than me, but then He had all the momentum going. >> That hockey stuff already man. >> He had all the momentum. >> 120 Somerset Henry 12119 Henry 12119 120. >> You got your camera rolling in here? >> 120. Venezuela. >> Of course, this is going to be some great video. He came right out the door and he's looking at me. I just All right. And I just like freaking popped him as hard as I could and he slammed him, but he had all the momentum. >> Started running from inside the store >> and then I Yeah, >> he was there. I had him over by the cash register away from the door. And then when I went to go look at the photo, >> they migrated right towards his door. And as soon as Sergeant go get the picture of him. >> Yeah. >> He bolted. >> So, >> well, he gave he gave a name and it wasn't it wasn't accurate. So, we got every right to detain him as far as that goes. >> Somebody has his ID. Can they give it to you ID? >> That's going to be great video. >> In the end, the suspect was arrested and charged with obstruction, resisting arrest, and providing false information. His accomplice, on the other hand, managed to vanish before anyone could catch up. Moving on to the case of a shoplifter who fought over $5 worth of stolen goods and ended up with a list of charges a mile long. >> You want to lie to me? You go to jail for shoplifting. You want to tell me if you want shoplift? Nothing. >> Okay. So, you don't have time. I'll be in on you. >> What are you talking about? What are you doing? Give me my stuff. What are you doing? >> What are you doing? Put on my back. It's not no weapons. It's not sharp nut. >> You got any IDs on you, sir? >> On January 31st, 2023, local officers responded to a retail theft at a convenience store after reports of a male suspect stealing several small items. When officers arrived, they quickly realized this was no ordinary shoplifting incident. Carlos Jones was a repeat offender, and surveillance footage confirmed a pattern of escalating criminal behavior. >> How's it going? Were you just in Speedway? >> What? Were you just in Speedway? >> No. >> Okay. Okay. You want to lie to me? You go to jail for shoplifting. You want to tell me that if you want >> I shoplift nothing. >> Okay. So, you don't have time on you. >> What are you talking about? >> You shoplifted over somebody make a report about me? >> Yeah. Why do you think I'm here? I just picked you out of the blue. >> I think you just walked up here. >> Okay. Well, perfect. >> What are you doing? Give me my stuff. What are you doing? >> What are you doing? Put your hands behind your back. >> I'm trying to put myself in my pocket. >> I'm down. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> I'll do it again. >> I do it.

It's mine. >> Relax. I'm going to grab it for you. >> I got it in my hand. >> It's all my phone. >> Can't nobody make it. Put it back in my pocket. What are you doing? Why is it in your pocket? >> No, I didn't. So now yours evidence. >> Officers tracked Jones only 20 minutes later to a nearby McDonald's where his erratic behavior immediately caught their attention. From the moment they approached him, he resisted, argued, and refused to comply, creating chaos for both officers and bystanders. >> All right, all being recorded up on the hill. >> Put on my back in my pocket. >> It's not no weapons. It's not sharp, nothing. >> You got any IDs on you, sir? >> Sir, you got any ID on you? >> Yeah, I got ID on me. >> Where's it at? In your pocket on the side.

You're under arrest. >> No, I'm not. >> You just took that out and put it back in. >> Resisting. >> I'm not resisting nothing. >> You were. >> You goofy. Didn't even guard no right to put me under arrest. >> Okay. Well, you take medication for any mental issues. >> Do you? >> No. Do you >> kill jockeyies? No, I don't. >> Okay. Let's take all my phone back. >> Put all my stuff in my pockets. What are you doing? >> Let's take what? >> Put my stuff back in my pocket. >> Why you take it all out? >> You already found your evidence, >> Mr. Jones. >> I didn't steal nothing. >> You found his evidence cuz he said he thought I stole it. >> So that's what you thought? >> I didn't think I thought >> they made a report or something. No. That's what you thought. Cuz you thought it's okay. >> I replaced you. Oh, did they? >> Hey, shut up. Come back and get Shut up. >> All right. >> No. Why y'all talking to them? They work for y'all. >> They work for the police, >> sir. I don't know what you're into. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Why you say turning my wrist?

You trying to break my wrist? >> What do you think I'm doing? >> You trying to break my wrist? >> No, I'm not. It's my hips. Jones started to panic and tried to grab his things while officers were securing the scene. Even after being told to stop, he kept resisting and reaching for items that police said were evidence. His behavior made the situation worse. Officers quickly realized he wasn't going to cooperate and had to step in before things got out of control. on me. >> What? >> Listen up your grip. >> Listen to your grip. >> He's trying to break my finger right here. >> Knock it off. >> You knock it off. That's why you got him. Good job. Good. Watch your head. >> Stand up. Stand up. You're going to slip on ice again. >> Try to stand up. >> Sit like sit up. Sit back. You got this on the other [ __ ] Don't worry about the seat belt. Got to push the seat belt. >> Safety first, dude. Sit back. >> As tensions rose, officers were left with no choice but to restrain Jones and place him in their vehicle. Even then, he kept arguing over the seized evidence, refusing to accept what was happening. By the time the scene was secured, it was clear what started as a $5 shoplifting incident had spiraled into a full-blown criminal case. involving assault, resistance, and obstruction. >> I thought I yelled at you guys. I thought you were customers probably in >> He looks like the same guy that barricaded himself. >> Oh, was it? Probably.

It'll be in the report. >> Sanchez. >> Yep. >> Can he get it? That's a >> You got to turn a little bit. You just have to turn. >> I can't turn. >> Don't worry about the seat belt. >> Friends and store employees later revealed a pattern of petty crime and reckless behavior, describing Jones as impulsive, defiant, and unrepentant. In the end, Carlos Jones was charged with retail theft, assault, and resisting arrest.
