Have a seat. You don't have to be so You're the one adding an extra charge. No, I'm not trying to, ma'am. I'm sick to my stomach. I've been in and out of the hospital. I have nothing. Oh my god. You guys don't even understand. I was just trying to pull my pants up. Don't do that again. That adds an extra charge. We do not control. Listen to me cuz I'm explain it to you cuz you've obviously been to jail before. Sir, you said you weren't going to press charges. That it was just trespassing and I could go home where my kids are at. Please. I'm ask Don't Don't do it. Charges doesn't mean you go to jail. What? What was the whole dollar so I know for myself? What? So you're going to use that to to steal under that next day? No, I just want to know. It doesn't matter what it is. I just want to know what it is. That's not That's not for you to know. What do you mean that's not for me to I don't understand it to you at the end? At the Yeah, at the end of the day. That that makes no difference. You still you still committed a crime. Read that. But All right. You need to listen. All right. And then we'll go from there. So, I'm going to read your Miranda warnings. Why is that? Listen to me. I'm going to read them to you and then you're going to decide what you want to do from there. Right. Okay. Right. You have the right to remain silent. [Laughter] Do you understand these rights I have explained to you? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. It's yes or no. Sure. Yes or no? Yes or no? I'm having really bad anxiety right now. Do you understand it or not? Yeah. Okay. Do you wish to talk to me or no? No. I just want to go home. Do you want to Okay. So, I'm going to say this again. Do you want to tell me what happened as far as you not scanning the multiple items in the cart as of the canal which was the yes or no? A verbal yes or no first? What do you mean that you do want to tell him or you don't want to talk to him about? Sure. Okay. Britney cried and begged the officers, saying she was sick and had kids waiting at home. She didn't know the total price of the items and just wanted to leave. She didn't answer the questions clearly and got very emotional. The police calmly read her rights while she kept asking to go home. The cantaloupe didn't scan, but the trouble did. When you selfch check out, always scan every item, not just your favorite fruit. Okay, so I scanned both of the cantaloupes together, but he said only one showed up. Okay. So, you scan, you had three. I had two of them. I had two cantaloupe things. Wasn't it three cantaloupes? She had two. She had two. She had two. Okay. It was scanned them across. I guess only one came up. Okay. I didn't notice because when I scanned other things, multiple things would like it would come up two times and I'd have to have somebody help me take it off. As of the other things, I placed the bag. Then you had two playing cards and there was one like and I accidentally placed the um stuff over the bag over it. Okay. As with the other stuff, I'm just I just got up here. And then the stuff in the bag that So, we're finished with the stuff in the cart. Now, the stuff in the bag. There's nothing in the bag. The stuff you had in the bag, the hair items. What about those? I'm I'm just I'm going through a hard time. I've been up here for probably about 2 months. Haven't been able to find a job. Filled out over a 100 applications. Had interviews. Don't understand because I've never had a problem getting a job. Like, I don't even I don't have money for nothing. Nothing. And I'm have to ask my dad for everything and I was just tired of it. I just grabbed a couple things that I shouldn't have and it was a mistake. Why are I feel like I can't breathe because I'll let you know in a second. We're just We're all just here to invest. I'm sorry. Just kidding. I just I mean I make a decision to do something. A stupid decision. Yes. Because I have nothing. Nothing. And I'm trying to take out my kids. Is that your friend? Yes, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Something, right? Yeah. But it's hard when you can't even get some hair stuff for yourself or your daughter or get a pack of playing cards just so you could play cards with your kids. It is hard. And it just two months of being up here. Yes. I filled out hundreds of applications. I could show you like I've had interviews and nothing. And I don't understand because where I lived, I've never had a problem getting a job. I'm usually hired on the spot. Sebastian, now let me ask you a second. I'm being truth. So I've been doing this 24 years. Okay. So do you think maybe the piercings and the hair color might have some with getting a job? No. Because usually I ask sometimes most employers don't want that look though because they're selling a product. Oh, trust me. I asked him. I'll be like, "If there's anything you want me to take out, if you want me to redye my hair, I'll do it." But before you go there, you should probably redo it. I probably should then because what's the one thing that everyone says? First impressions. Yes. First impressions. I'm just asking you guys, please. It's not up to us, though. He said to me that it was just trespassing and that I would be able to go home dollar amount when I had a petty theft charge back in 2008 because they took some clothes for my daughter who I've just had. Britney said she had no job for 2 months. She filled out over 100 job forms and was tired of asking her dad for money. She cried and said she made a mistake. She only wanted to care for her kids. But it wasn't just a mistake. It was a choice. Even minor theft can cause big problems and it's never a good idea. You know, you know there's good and stuff you can get clothes for free. You're right. when I was young and wasn't thinking in back then 2008 took some clothes and they told me if it was over $300 I would have been arrested with a felony and went to jail but since it wasn't over $300 that I would get a trespassing but that's their policy or that person at the time. Okay. So, I can go to jail for one thing by stealing a stick of gum, please. We're not in charge of that. And in Florida, we really have a especially police department. We have So, can I just get like a court date or something? So, listen here. So, we're law enforcement. That's what cops are. We enforce the law. Oh, he own the business. I did what? $1.35 is what? What I took? Yes, ma'am. How? I don't know. You 135 where? Let me see with the receipt, please. With everything on it. Yeah, your products are not cheap. As you were concealing the analopee that was That's probably why you want to know the amount so you can stay under that amount, right? What's the hell you're on? I don't know. I was just looking to see because Oh my god. I'm sorry. Please listen, sir. This Walmart ever again. I just want to go home where my kids are. You're sorry you got caught. No, I'm I'm sorry for everything. Not sorry that I got caught. I'm sorry that I'm I was You have to understand so selfish that I wanted something for myself that I just couldn't afford and I thought that it would be oh well who cares? That was stupid of me. Please don't press charges. They they press charges on every single person. You told me that they didn't do that. So you lied to me. I can tell you whatever I want. I'm not obligated to tell you. Please. I'm begging you. I don't want to go to jail. They can tell you. People have came here and got an MTA. Go home. Well, why didn't I get to go home? Did you see what happened? You see the way you acted because I was just trying to detail you and you were pulling away was to let me like sit down and stuff. Listen to me. Listen to me. What do you Is that Who's that outside? My boyfriend. Yeah. There's nothing much more in it. Just my stuff. It's just her stuff. Yeah. Just my stuff. All right. So, with this bag, do you want us to give it to your boyfriend? Cuz you I'm I'm going to be honest with you. You will be going to jail tonight. Please don't do that. I'm tell it's decision is made. What do you want to do with your bag? Do you want me to give it to him? Yes, but please don't. What about your cell phone? Please don't do that. You're going to take your cell phone with you. She's going to jail now. Listen, everyone makes a decision to do something. There's a consequence. Have a seat. Please, I'm asking you. Please. I don't want to go to jail. I'm sorry. It's not Why? It's not a bargain anymore. Please, I don't want to go to jail. I made a mistake. I made a mistake. Hey, what's she on bond for? Uh, I think there was possession of Xanax or something like that. She's been on bond from Sebastian. I was just wondering what she's going in for. She's going to go to jail for shoplifting and resistance. What's going When we try to detain her, we didn't make that decision to arrest her. Yeah. All we did was try to detain her so we can read her her rights and explain what's going on. She started fighting. She was being taken to jail and her old bond for Xanax made things worse. She gave her bag and phone to her boyfriend and kept asking the police not to arrest her. The officers told her that every choice has a consequence. Britney didn't just steal, she also didn't listen when they tried to stop her. How'd you all end up here if you're from I live here in Winter Garden. I live in Winter Garden and she's living with me and we were coming to the store just to get some stuff for my mom like getting all this stuff and some food for me and we're going to head home and she decided to steal a whole bunch of hair products. That's $109 worth. So I don't know. I have no idea. Can you please please I'm understand you cannot come back here for the period of I mean I understand but please I'm begging you.

It has me scanned. Well, you're the one who committed the crime, not him. He just freaking went to Walmart. I told him I didn't even want to go to Walmart tonight cuz I wasn't feeling good. Easter needed stuff to eat. Well, you didn't steal stuff you needed to eat. No, because I have a food stamp card. Can't can't buy the other necessities you need with with that. She said she used food stamps to buy food, but needed other things she couldn't afford. Sadly, she made a bad choice, even though she had good reasons. Ultimately, her crying, stress, and asking for hugs didn't change the rules. The officers did a great job. They were kind but firm. No sugar coating, just honest and fair. Britney was charged with shoplifting for taking over $100 worth of items and resisting arrest for not cooperating with officers. Her actions combined with a pass bond for drug possession made the situation more serious. In the end, if you enjoyed the video, hit that like button and drop your thoughts in the comments.
