After all, in today's world of surveillance footage and cell phone cameras, it's almost impossible to sneak out of a business with unpaid merchandise. So, right when they thought they might get away, that's when these dumb shoplifterss get instant karma served to them by the cops. >> Don't What is wrong with you? >> Stop. >> Stop resisting.

You said the officer used unreasonable force. Could you define or put it into words what kind of unreasonable force the officer used? >> He He grabbed me and put me under constraint. >> Yeah. and didn't let me and didn't tell me to like he didn't >> Okay, so your complaint is that he put you into handcuffs without telling you you were under arrest. >> Yeah, >> that's what you're saying. >> I don't know.

Okay. >> Can you roll the window up? >> Further arguments about whether force was excessive, whether she was told she was under arrest, and her justifications. At the end, she's charged with theft and probation violation. The male suspect is charged with theft only. Stealing out of desperation still carries consequences. Poverty doesn't justify breaking the law. Respecting authority and cooperating calmly can prevent minor mistakes from becoming serious crimes. What an unyielding shoplifter. The next shoplifter will react much more violently. So keep an eye out. >> No, bro. You're harassing me. You're harassing me. Stop. On April 11th, 2022, police responded to a shoplifting call at Ulta Beauty, where employees reported two teenage girls stealing several bottles of perfume worth about $200, $300 before leaving without paying. >> Called about the shoplift.

Um she hit me up with a friend as she was walking out. They went to TJ Maxx. I don't know if they're still there. Did they go inside or Yeah, I did see them go inside and I did call TJ Maxx. Let them know as well. I was like, "Hey, the people that just stole from me store um Oh, maybe like 5 minutes. Not that long. >> Less than 15 minutes. >> Yeah, less than 15. Manager here said that our suspects walked into TJ Maxx about 5 minutes ago. >> Yeah. Um, one is wearing I wrote it down. >> The alter manager describes the suspects. One wearing a gray sweater, dark blue sweats, and a bucket hat with a face tattoo. and the other with blonde hair and a blue backpack. >> Gray sweater, blue dark blue sweats, and then a dark blue bucket hat. The other one's blonde hair. >> So, wait, the first one is >> uh gray gray sweater, dark blue sweats, and then a dark blue bucket hat and she has like a tattoo underneath her eye above her hand. >> So, they're two different. >> Um Well, the the second person, this is the one that left a mess.

We were able to like get a few away from her while she were. When confronted, the teen becomes defensive, repeatedly shouting that she's being harassed and refusing to comply with police orders. >> Hey, you. Hi, police. How are you? >> Good. >> Good. Okay. You're being detained right now. >> I'm not doing >> for theft. Nope. You're being detained for theft from Ulta. >> I'm not doing nothing. >> Relax. Relax. >> I'm not doing nothing. >> Put your hands on your back. >> No, I'm not doing nothing. No, you're This is Bro, you're Nah, this is Nah, you're this is illegal, dog. I'm not doing anything. No, you're >> you're harassing me. I'm not doing nothing. >> Put your hands in your back. >> Um, no. You can ask the guards. Am I doing anything wrong? >> No, bro. You're harassing me. You're harassing me. Stop. >> No. You're harassing me. Stop. Stop. Stop. You're harassing me. No. You're harassing me. You're harassing me. Please. Help me. You're harassing me.

You're harassing me. >> Her shirt up. >> Help me. >> Let me switch. >> Help me. >> I'm not doing it. >> I'm going to pull the top. I'm going to pull it up. Okay. >> A physical struggle ensues as officers try to detain her. The teen screams for help, claims her wrist is broken, and continues resisting arrest while officers handcuff her and escort her outside. >> Sorry. >> Okay, let's walk outside. >> Sorry. >> You guys are me. >> Hold on. Hold your side. Right. Knee straight. Knee straight. >> All right. All right, send up. >> So, I don't know where the other >> she's >> she already. >> Yeah, but she's the main one. >> The other one probably has the fragrances because >> No. >> Stop.

Okay. >> Get a good grip on her. I want to get some gloves on. No, you're hurting me. >> Still yelling that she's being harassed and knows her rights. The teen accuses officers of hurting her wrist and violating her rights. Have a seat, please. >> Both feet in do nothing wrong. >> Put feet in the car. >> You arrested me. >> You're under arrest. Put both feet in the car. >> Take those cups off. Please. >> We're trying to take the other cuffs off. Take a chance. I lost it up there. >> My bre there. Lean back. Lean back. You guys are harassing me. I know my rights. You guys are harassing me. >> Police bring an alter employee to identify the suspect, who positively confirms she is the one who stole the perfumes. Officers note the girl's distinctive tattoo under her eye. >> Subject detained. Doesn't involve new. Is there someone that can ID her? >> Yeah. Um, >> okay. I can go with >> you go with me. Okay. >> So, she's detained in in handcuffs. Um just because she's in handcuffs doesn't mean that she's a person that did it. It's just as important to eliminate people uh that are innocent as it is to um ID people for us. So, I'm just have a seat back here in my car. We'll drive over there. If you don't care about getting out and looking at her, you can. Or you can just pull up next to her in the police. >> During questioning, the teen denies stealing, claims she has no merchandise, and accuses officers of physically and verbally harassing her. >> Anything you say Canon will be using a court of law. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? >> Okay. Having those rights in mind, do you want to talk to me about anything that happened today? A manager said that you walked out of Ulta holding merchandise, perfume, about $300 worth. >> I didn't. Do I have any merchandise? >> Huh? >> Do I have any merch? >> She positively identified you as that person. >> Do I have any merchandise? I don't. >> She identified you as the person that walked. >> Any merchandise? >> Well, I understand that you met with someone. >> I don't have nothing. >> Well, then who's the chick who was with you? >> I don't. I was not with nobody. >> Yeah, you were. >> No, I wasn't. >> What? You think that we just walked into TJ Maxx just because we were told that you went in there? That's why we even went in there. They saw you. >> Yeah. >> That's why of all these I don't have anything. >> Out of all these stores we could have come into, you guys are physically harassing me. >> Okay. All right. Do you want to talk to me about anything that happened today? >> No, you guys are physically verbally harassing me. Someone's >> got a chip tooth, she said. Can I take a look? Which one? Oh, did that happen today? >> Yes, it did. >> Right now? >> Yes. >> When did that happen? >> When you me on the floor outside. >> Outside. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Um, let me get a photo of that.

Police note her grandmother refused to pick her up, citing behavioral problems. >> Okay. All right. I'll take a look at the video and verify that. Any other injuries from today? No. Okay. So, here's what's going to happen. Uh because you're a juvenile, juvenile detention won't take you. Otherwise, you would be going to jail. You're an adult. In a few months, you'll be going to jail for something like this. Um so, we're going to release you at the trans center. I don't want to see you around Fedway the rest of the day. It's time to hop on a bus and go home. Okay. If we get any more calls about you, then we're going to have to take some further action that doesn't >> She is charged with theft, obstruction, and resisting arrest. Actions have consequences. Even small thefts can spiral into serious legal trouble. Taking responsibility is always better than reacting with anger and denial. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. >> That you said you had eight kids. >> Yes, I have eight. >> Okay. So, there's a kid in the cart and then there's this kid. That's and that's my >> police investigate a cashier accused of repeatedly stealing from her grocery store. She was caught manipulating the register by skipping scans or voiding transactions. Often with the help of another employee kids a lot of times it's just shopping. they would shop. But um and then once they bring it up to the register, she would not scan all the items for her kids or she would void out the entire transaction and allow her kids or herself to walk out with all of the product not paid for. It was 31 instances of that between 6123 through 832. 31 times she did that for totally 14867 of stolen merchants. As long as there's items that she did pay for, that's not included in that total. That's just what was not paid for. What he did, there were four instances where he >> store management reported she had done this more than 40 times, even teaching her kids how to skip scan groceries. Footage showed her deliberately avoiding scans or voiding full transactions for herself and others. >> Can we see the video? >> Sure. When officers arrived, the manager reported that she had stolen over 40 times in just a few weeks and even brought her kids to teach them how to steal. >> Make sure that they're in the car and >> um you want to see either one or >> Yes. So, I have it per day. That's on June 1st through August 3rd. Um, so let's go to we'll go to the first one. So, I'm going to pull up the other camera because this one she has the merchandise off to the side. This is the overhead camera. These are the items. >> Who came up with the items? >> She wrote the items up. >> Okay. >> Um, but it was sitting there for a while. I only say like a small clip because the the longer the radio, the larger the clip, the larger the memory it holds. And so what she does is she only rings up she doesn't ring up I believe it was three items. It was just this these three items. >> Mhm. >> We um was what was identified that was not run up that was total 447. I mean, the first time it was like small, but as she continually got more comfortable what she was doing, um, we started having larger transactions. Like this one was on 621, $106. I can go to $629. So, this was for other people that she uh she knew. I don't know if it's It's not her daughters, but I know that there are other ones with her daughters, but this one is with other people that she knew. I don't know. So, all of these items were not paid for. >> Oh, I know the little girl. >> And her mom works here. >> And so, what she did was she allowed them to ring it up and at the end of it, she voided the entire transaction. Can I see the overhead um computer? I mean camera for this transaction. So that's when they come on. The exit doors are over here. I just have this register. Another cashier identified as her accomplice confessed during questioning. He admitted helping her out of youthful carelessness, saying he didn't fully realize the seriousness of his actions and regretted the mistake. >> Um, depending on the dollar at all. And on this one, I don't think he needed to avoid it because he just didn't scan the items. After gathering all the evidence, officers were ready to question the employee who worked in conjunction with the other. Do you think he'll come clean? Let's find out. >> Hey, how you doing? >> How you doing? >> I'm going have a seat. Okay. >> Yeah. How you doing? What? What's going on, Amarian? Just so you know, you're not a nurse. I just want to know what's going on. Tell me what happened. >> I made a mistake. >> Relax. >> I made a mistake. >> What happened? >> It's not funny. It's just, you know, being young and having an opportunity and just being dumb. And now don't put stuff in jeopardy. Put myself in a position that I don't like to be in. This is embarrassing. But I will I ain't going to cry though. I ain't going to cry. We good. You guys are pretty calm, chill, so I'm not really too much nervous no more after talking. But at the end of the day, just a mistake and and and I'm assuming a proper proceeding is going to happen. So that's I there's not really much to it. The man told me to write that and then just I've been sitting back here since then. So >> Oh, I don't know what he writes. I just want to know what's the mistake. Tell me about it. Uh they said last month they got me for not scanning like what couple items. But then they wanted me to pinpoint how much of this. I'm like I don't know. Like it wasn't like oh for the whole year I've been here or for 6 months or for 5 months as far as like just a month ago. >> So it's not a common thing. It's not a normal thing. He told me everybody he talked to about me they all said the same thing like he's not that type of kid. This that and third and um that's basically where I was at with that situation. um me and him, we just talked about it and he told me to write that and he'll I guess he'll be back and talk to me some more or something like that and I just been waiting since then. That's pretty much the situation at hand. So, I'm just sitting waiting to see what what's going to happen. >> What about the items that you didn't scan? What happened to them? >> Um they're up in the air out the store or either put back into go bags. There's a lot of different things we do with items. But then that's another thing he wanted me to like like the things he wanted me to answer are things like a month or two months ago and I'm like hey I can barely remember things from last week but I can try my hardest to reach jump all the way back then and tell you the best I can and I don't know if that's really much help but >> No, but you said he told me there's some items that wasn't scammed. >> Yeah, he wasn't specific. He wasn't specific on any other stuff like that. Well, he just basically said, "Hey, you've been flagged in the system for this and this is as much this what we got. This is what's going on." But he don't he didn't tell me what items wasn't scanned or nothing like that. He didn't tell me how much or nothing like that. It was just more of a the system is reporting to you. So, we got to do an investigation into what's going on. And that's where I'm at currently with it. >> Do you remember any item not being scanned? Do you remember any item was voided or anything like that? >> Yeah, when it comes to voiding, that's common between the cashiers. Like if a customer doesn't want it or if something happens or if a customer already purchased item and they're just exchanging for another or they damaged their item, it's common for them to just here, hey, I I bought this. And me being the casher has already seen their face. Once they come up, put it in the bag. Here go your bag. going about your day because you already purchased the item prior to this interaction. I've seen your receipt. I've seen the whole prior to that, >> right? >> And I mean, but as far as the store concerned, that's not the correct way to handle things when it comes to that aspect of it. >> Um, that's pretty much it when it comes to register. I don't really keep track of what goes on. But like I said, just being young, being in a position where you want to be beneficial, you want to be helpful, and it's just not the >> What do you mean by being >> No, just in general, like if somebody ask for you, like if you're in a position to to help others, [ __ ] I'm not I'm not This is Okay, so being in a position to help others, >> me, the person at least the person that I I'm not going to speak for everybody. I'll speak for myself. >> Being in a position to help others, the person that I am, I would take that opportunity. But in this instance, me not considering consequences or what is the actual actions that I'm doing, what it could lead, like that aspect of it wasn't being processed. And me being so young and being so quick and at my 18th birthday, I just went to prom. I just went grab bash. I just graduated. Um, I just came from Orlando as a graduation trip. Like all these things are going on. I'm moving so fast. I'm making a little money from Wind Dixie. And you know, everything's going smooth. Nobody's really in my ear telling me nothing. No rights or wrongs. It's just the introduction to her adult life and having all that at once. It just didn't end up making the right decision. And it's unfortunate. >> So what's not the right decision? That's why I'm lost. >> The the not right decision is allowing whether it's willingly well I can't say unknowingly cuz if that's the case then it's not your fault. But just being true to your morals and not allowing items to walk out the store or being honest and scanning everything and doing things of that nature because that's what it is to be an employee. That's somebody is sticking to their morals and that's what I mean by doing the right thing and that's the mistake that was made. >> You already know what it is. Okay, I'm going to send all everything I have to the state attorney and they're the one who's going to make the decision on on making um either making arrest or not making arrest. Okay, but this is serious. >> Police then questioned the mother. She initially downplayed her role, claiming everyone at work did the same thing and offered to just pay it back. >> Yeah, >> different. >> I'm just fat as hell. No. No. Smile. >> You said 101 191. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that's me. That's my driver license picture. >> Mhm. You look different though. >> I'm just fat. Stop. >> That's it. >> All right.

So, I'm going to type up the paperwork. I'm going to take you with me >> to the bathroom. >> The woman was arrested for grand theft, released on bond, and later rearrested for violating bond conditions.

They look like kids to me, >> right? >> That were picking up your groceries for you. >> Picking them out, doing helping. Uh-huh. >> So, um, and I noticed in the videos that you said you had eight kids. >> Yes, I have eight. >> How old are they? >> My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 10 months. >> 10 months. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, I assume these are your children because you look like you're familiar with them. They look like they're comfortable and familiar with you, >> right? >> And I have to just confirm that they're children and not involved in any crime because, >> okay, >> this is I'm not looking at your kids.

I don't know. >> Okay. So, on July 30th, that customer came in and I forget whether you deleted things off of her receipt or what. So, that's not a c that's >> No, that's not one of my children. >> She looks young though. You don't know her? >> I know her, but she's not one of my children. >> Do you know her name? >> I think her name is These these two >> I don't know who this is. >> The little boy. >> I don't know who that is. >> Okay. So, >> but that's my child. >> That Yeah, he was with your child. Who is that? >> I don't know who that is. That's not my child. >> See, that's why I'm asking. >> I don't know who that is. >> That's fine. But your other child, what's her name? Her name is >> I printed this out, but this is just to show you. See, we're watching you scan the Hershey's bar. You scan it one once, but you're holding two. So, that's basically what we were looking at. It's not the crime of the century. It's not a super big deal, but see. Okay. So, there's a kid in the cart and then there's this kid >> that and that's my son's right. >> Okay. And this lady got on the ground to play with your kid. Do you know who she is? >> I'm just curious. >> That is a That's a child. >> She's a child. >> Yeah. She's a big child. >> Yes. She's She's big as hell.

She just happened to be there. >> She was. Yeah. She was playing lemon. >> And this is your time to explain maybe why why it was happening or >> Well, when I first started there, that wasn't my intention. Um, I only got the job because like it was hard for me. Like my car note is 466. I mean 488. My car insurance is 466. My rent is like $900. My light bill run me like $ 250. My water almost that amount. So it's like it was a lot. So I got a job at Wind Dixie and I started I think it was like my third month. I don't want to say because I've been working there for like five months. So I won't I don't I won't want to say three months, but three months in I got close with the the girls that used to work there. So they hooked me on to like what to do when you in you know when you working in selfch checkckout. So, I got the swing of working in selfch checkout. And then, you know, they were just letting me know like you don't have to, you know, you can just do this and not scan this, you know, and just void out on the keypad. Like, I didn't know how to do that. I didn't pull it. >> The suspect confessed she learned how to void items from co-workers who were also stealing. >> I didn't pull it from nowhere. So, obviously, it had to be taught to me because I just started working there. So basically, >> so those girls that uh taught you that, they don't work there anymore. >> They're still there. >> They're still there. >> Yes. And I told Cliff, I told Corporate because they asked me their names. I gave Clave Corporate and Cliff their names. But when I went in when I recently just went in there and talked to Cliff, I think it was like a week ago. >> Uhhuh. >> I asked him. I was like, I don't think I don't Nope. Nope. Let me back up. when the officer came in the store when I did my investigation or whatever, the officer came in the store and you know, he was like, "Oh, my boss told me to contact the sheriff's department." So, I was like, "Okay." My AC had went out. So, I was like, "You know, I'll be back. So, let me go run my kids somewhere, so they won't be hot in the house because it like 80° in my house." So, um when I got back, the police was there. They was talking to they was in the back talking to the boy Omari upstairs. So when I went to the back, you know, she asked my name. She put me in handcuffs. And the the man from corporate, he was like at the bottom of the steps. So I asked him, I was like, "Can I talk to you for a second?" And he was like, "Um, sure." First he didn't want to talk, but also like, you know, she want to talk to you for a second. So he was like, "Sure." So I was like, "I know you here to do a job, don't get me wrong, but if you say you doing a full investigation, you should have nobody up front working." That's I'm just And he was like, "What did you mean?" I was like, "They taught this to me. They the one taught me how to do it. So, how come you trying to prosecute me, but not everybody else that's doing it?" And he was like, "Oh, I'm doing investigation. I'm doing investigation." I was like, "Don't don't get me wrong. I know you have a job to do, but you should have did your investigation that same day, and you would have had nobody working." >> So, who taught you how to do it? >> Oriana. Oriana taught me how to do it. So I would just, you know, explain to him like, um, Molen does it, but it's not as often as >> she was charged with grand theft, a felony offense, despite blaming others. She ultimately accepted responsibility. She was sentenced to 3 years of probation, which she is still serving. Teaching children to steal not only breaks the law, but also destroys their moral foundation. Hardship never justifies dishonesty. It only multiplies the pain for an entire family.

Are you able to talk to us about why we're here tonight? >> What? Are you able to tell us why we're here tonight? What happened? >> Were you going to take these things and then resell them for money? >> Some of it. >> Some of it. >> Officers verify her ID, try to calm her and ask why she's so scared.

Okay. >> Hey, I'll keep you posted. lazy. >> Okay, I already told you if if that is your name, I'm not taking you to jail tonight. >> Okay, so I need you to try and relax a little bit >> cuz I can't get your side of the story if if you were not able to speak with me. >> So, what all were you going to try and sell out of the things that you took? What were you going to try and sell? Are you scared from me or whoever this is about what's going to happen? >> I'm not going to answer it. >> Is that person outside right now? >> No, he's not outside. >> He's waiting for you. >> What would you suggest is the third option? You are obviously very scared right now and I don't know why, but you're the one who chose to come in here and try and steal things. >> So for me, >> the store wants to prosecute. Officers decide to send charges by mail and issue a citation for theft. >> Okay. Do you have an alternative mailing address somewhere else that we can send it to you? No. Okay, then I don't have another option. >> So, is there something going on at home that you need to talk to us about? >> Okay. Well, they're wanting to assist in prosecution, so I am going to send up charges. you're going to get a >> She's also served a trespass warning, signs paperwork, and is told she can't return to Target. Officers stress she can disclose any unrelated personal issues like problems at home. >> Up here has some trespass stuff to go over with you. >> All she has to do is just sign this. But when I brought it up to her, that's when he started calling. So then I took it away just cuz I didn't want her here. >> All you have to do is just sign this. Okay. Can you just sign it for me, please? >> You broke the law, which is why we're here. And my partner is saying if there's something else you want to tell us unrelated to what happened tonight, you can >> like if something's going on at home that you need to tell us about, you can do that. >> Okay, Pamar, let's do this one step at a time.

But for right now, we need to go. >> Yes. Officers speculate her fear may be due to her husband's influence. Either he pressured her to steal or she fears his reaction if he finds out. >> She's already crying, but the moment I went to get it signed, she was like crying even more. I'm like, "What?" I'm like, "Hey, you're good. Just breathe." And I look down and I see the wedding ring emoji and I'm like, "Oh, it's her husband." And I was like, "Her husband's either telling her to do this or she's doing this and he doesn't know." >> Yeah. And so I mean both ways she probably thinks that he's gonna respond in a way. >> Woman formally charged with theft, banned from Target, and scheduled for a court appearance.

All three suspects were charged with felony, retail theft, shoplifting because they ran and resisted officers during arrest. Resisting arrest is also a likely charge.

He moving out the way and everything. And she's talking about, "Oh, blah blah blah." He said, "This is my husband, blah, blah, blah." I said, "No." I said, "Excuse me." He moved out of the way and everything. >> She the one I went by. >> I'm not going anywhere. It's a quick >> I don't have to. That's fine. That's fine. Like I said, I asked her husband to move out the way. I said, "Excuse me. He move out the way." She talking about, "Oh, she's talking about Oh, well, you didn't have to say that blah blah blah to my I turned around. She talking about she just started like feeling like the most." >> Okay. >> I came here to find laundry. That's it. >> So, did they get physical or what's >> No, it's nothing physical.

We don't dictate this situation. >> Okay, that's fine. But um can we get this going? >> Talking to the radio. >> You don't dictate situation. So, you're going to keep on talking. >> I can do something about that and we can go back to small. >> Yeah, it didn't have to happen. >> She didn't have to say at all. >> Simple as that. My name my last name is like I said, >> what's your first name? >> Raven. RN. Anything else? >> Date of birth. >> What's your address? >> You on the phone. It's you on the phone with me. You scanning it. Literally, he just seen all this just happened. But things quickly took a turn when the woman grew argumentative, insisting the officer was treating her unfairly, accusing him of assuming she was at fault without bothering to hear her full side of the story. >> What's your address? >> You approached me, but I approach her. >> Cuz you're being the girl. >> She's No, I'm not. She started with me. >> Well, you're being separated and you >> Okay. Like I said, you're not going to approach her, but you approach me, right? >> Okay.

Can you do this in front of your son or we can do this? >> This is not my son. This is my nephew. >> Okay. You're you're you're just assuming things when you don't know what's going on. Like I said, >> well, you're more >> in tune to getting my >> cuz she's not you in a shopping place. When I come over here to look for laundry detergent, you're not going to do that to me. So, like I said, Longberg, what is your bathroom? >> 597. Thank you. Anything else you need from me? >> Yes, ma'am. >> What is it? >> Most likely you're going to be trespassed from the store. >> Okay, listen. Listen. Yeah, that's that's fine with me. >> Okay, that's fine with me. Like I said, um I will be having your badge number. And also, >> you already have my badge number. >> Also, no, no, no.

Why why just start fighting me, right? And then she gone. She literally started me. So I said I told her I'm trying to get out the way before they can move. >> No, they're fine. >> Okay. Well, that's >> the suspect explained that the dispute started because another woman refused to step aside, blocking her from getting through the aisle. However, according to reports, it was actually the suspect identified as Raven who had been the aggressor. >> Bro, like, so she just so she just Listen, no, listen. She just approached me. I'm mind you, I'm with Satan. I'm over here by the toilet paper, by the laundry sergeant, all that. I came over here for laundry detergent. This she literally this Mexican I don't know who she was. This Mexican lady, she listen. So this what happened. I'm passing by with Zen. It's so many people, mind you. It's so many people in a way. I told No, I told I said I said, "Excuse me." So her husband, he moved out the way. He didn't say at all. He moved out the way. So why he So why is he here? That's what I'm saying. >> We got to go for a disturbance. We had like four people call. >> Like I said, you approached me, but you did not approach her. >> I've already explained that to you. >> Like I said, what's the problem? >> I've already explained that to you. >> No, you're not going to You're not going to do that. >> Okay, you can take most likely there's going to be a >> for why you're having an altercation in front of a child. >> He was not He was not right there. >> I was at the front. So how >> she was with your child? >> He was not right there. He was literally a whole freaking He wasn't even by me at this point. This lady is argue with me and he want to talk about a DCF case. I'm walking with a toddler. Okay. >> I'm walking with a toddler and this lady literally say something out her mouth like just crazy. I turned around and I said like what what is your problem? Like what's what's going on? So she going to talk about oh you want to say this is my husband this and that blah blah blah. So I told her I said I asked your husband to move out the way and he moved. He moved out the way with no problem. That's what I'm That's what I'm getting at right now. >> He moved all the way with no problem and he literally he didn't say nothing at all. She the one who was was standing on the side talking out her mouth and I turned around. I said like what is the problem? Like what is what like what do you really have going on? So then that's when just all that stuff. I came up here looking for laundry detergent. Like that's just just that period. I didn't stop there. I didn't stop her. I didn't do to her. It was no hand. There was nothing going on. >> Raven's sister stepped in, attempting to calm her down and keep the situation from escalating. But convinced the officer was treating her unfairly, Raven kept arguing, letting her frustration override her sister's efforts. >> That's not fair to me because she started with me saying something. Excuse I don't care. She's a grown ass lady. I do not care. You do not say stuff like that. If it's a whole bunch of traffic, if it's a whole bunch of traffic coming through Walmart, I'm saying excuse me, like, can you please get out the way? I'm on the phone for one saying like it's a lot of people here like they got away. It's nothing more, nothing less. So please like, please just I just need I just need to get my No, no, I need to get my stuff and I need to leave. Simple as that. >> My mouth getting dry. I'm getting foam out by the mouth. I'm so dead. This lady started approach. Didn't approach her at all. >> Keep your >> listen. Okay. So I have a question. >> Yes. >> Well, what's going on? Why you approached her? because she was the aggressor from what I did with I didn't hit nobody. No, >> but it doesn't matter. >> Okay. So what? So what? So what? So what's going on? Because if she didn't hit no, then she didn't do anything. >> It's not the other lady crimes that you no crime. It's not crime. >> No, it's not threat. It's not no crime. But what's going on to figure out what's going on because I can't leave this. >> I can't leave. So I'm trying to >> No, you cannot. Raven. Raven, calm down. Just calm down. We don't got to get out of this place. I don't So right now she's going to dictate this and she goes to jail over if I'm not Raven. Raven just stop if I'm trusting that's fine. I'm still trying to trust no more. Stop. If I start if I'm trusting >> Listen but okay. So she Okay. So where's the other people? Because you ain't talking. >> Talk to them. She's got the issue right now. She has the issue because we Raven Raven She has the issue because you're approaching her about something that she didn't do. >> Okay. >> She she can she we have I already called mama. Sheaven Raven. >> The argument escalates as Raven refuses to cooperate entirely. >> You can have freedom of speech. Freedom of speech going public environment. >> Okay. So you want to say to me and [ __ ] like >> we can play this hypothetical all day. Like I said, you're not going to talk to approach me first. >> Like I said, meet me at the front and I can talk to you later. >> For no reason. >> Raven, can you calm down? >> No. I'm not talking about yelling. I'm trying to tell I'm trying to tell them what the going on. Like >> I understand you're trying to calm her down. Go to the front of the store. >> It's like okay at this point it's like >> they literally approached me first, right? And then it's like they didn't approach this lady that literally started with me. It's like saying crazy me like who are you talking to? Like you talking about husband stuff. It's like that like who was you talking to? I wasn't even talking to your husband no type of way. Like I was >> who who that person was here? What? >> What? That person was here. >> It was It was a a [ __ ] white lady coming out the back. >> Yes. No. No. No. No. No. It doesn't matter. You're not going to go find her. >> Mexican lady. >> You're not going to go find her. Go to the front of the store. I will make you go to the front of the store at this point. >> Can you just tell me what you want to do with her? >> I'm still trying to figure that out. So, if you can go to the front of the store, I can proceed on my way with my investigation. >> Get out of your way. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. What's going on? I'm going to jail now because she started with me. You're not going to go find her. You're the only one. >> You're not causing an issue to where I can't causing an issue. I'm not causing an issue. I'm just trying to I'm trying to get my stuff. Obviously, I'm trying to get my stuff and just leave like I came here to do. >> Okay. >> I said excuse me to her husband. >> Keep it on shelf for 2 minutes. Let me run your name and figure it out for me. >> Sir, sir. Sir, I gave you my lane. I gave you my first and last name. Sir, if you can keep my first Now, Raven's combative attitude is making it impossible for the officer to even run her name through the system. And instead of calming down, her complaints only grow louder and more intense. >> I gave you my first and last name. >> I understand that. Now I'm talking. >> I gave you my date of birth. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, what am I still waiting here for? >> Cuz I haven't even >> Because you're the only one in here. Y'all not going to go find her. >> Okay. I've already answered this like three times. >> So, clearly you're not listening. I know it's a hard skill to have. >> So, who's going to go find her? We go see what's going on. >> Okay. >> Who's going to find her to go see what's going on? Like you answering everything else but this. Like who going to go find her? >> Like nobody told her to come by her mouth and like just say like who the you talk to like that. Like it's no reason for that. >> I didn't say nothing to this lady. >> His badge number and everything. I got his last name, badge number, everything. I'm going to need your sergeant. I'm going to need your sergeant. >> Okay. I'm going to need your sergeant. I didn't do this lady. This ain't started with me. >> I'm going to need you. Let's go. >> Just keep it cool. Approach me, but not hurt. >> That's fine. That's cool. >> Do not walk up on me. >> Who you talking to? >> Yeah. He was like, I don't know who the dancing with, but I don't know who >> you approach a black female but don't approach some Mexican female freedom of speech here. >> Yeah. I don't have to come here. >> I have to come. >> I don't care. I can explain to you what happened. You don't know where anybody look at >> Go here. >> You don't know where you >> Once inside the security room and noticing other Walmart staff present. Raven grew even more defensive. By this point, however, the officer had clearly run out of patience with her attitude. >> Have a seat. >> Can I help y'all? Can I help y'all? Have a seat. >> Can I help y'all? >> Have a seat. >> I'm not going to have a seat. I'm good. I'm done standing up. Like, >> where's the other lady at? >> What's up? >> Where is the other lady I got into it with? >> I don't know yet. We have officers looking. >> Okay. So, why do you just have me in here? Where? >> Whole family crowding around me and I'm by myself. >> Where the she at? >> Get the >> No, I'm not going to. What is your problem? Like I said, >> now Okay. >> Where is the lady I just got into it with? Where is the lady I Where is the lady I did not with? Y'all have said I have not done this lady at all. You're pulling my hair. >> E cuz you're resisting. >> I'm not resisting. There you go. Like I said, I can put the bag down. >> No, you're good. You're good. >> Like I said, y'all want to approach me a black female, but don't want to approach her. She said some dumb mouth. Go ahead. Put them on nice and snug. Like I said, put them on nice and snug. >> I need help in your office. >> You want to have a seat now? >> No, I do not want to have a seat, sir. Like, but don't you understand? >> What's in this pocket? >> Look in it. You got me a haircut. Look in it. The you with y'all. Like I said, y'all won't y'all won't look at nobody else. But I >> y'all won't look at nobody else but a black female. I swear to God, y'all won't like y'all don't understand that. This lady started with me out her dumb mouth. Like all I did was come like I didn't even touch say to her. I didn't touch her. I can't say poor. >> A second officer arrived and tried to ease the tension by having a calm conversation with Raven. At first, the exchange seemed steady, but it didn't take long before things unraveled and the situation took a turn for the worse. >> He know my name. He got it. >> I'm asking. >> He has my name. >> We don't need to yell, right? >> First off, first off, that's not my name. My name is Raven. Okay. >> He knows my name. >> He knows my name. Like I said, everything job. >> He bangs in jail. >> Like I said, watch them came. Like I said, she said you touch nobody. I stay 24 hours. Like I said, lose your you lose your job.

I swear to God, bro. >> Raven, knock it off. All right. >> Wrong with y'all. >> What's wrong with you? >> Like I said, >> can I hear you? >> I came here to with me. Close the door. >> You don't want to listen. >> I was telling her, "Calm down." I said, "Calm down." >> With Raven's father causing a scene inside the store, he was quickly pulled into the situation himself. Once placed in handcuffs, however, his demeanor shifted. He appeared much calmer, simply asking the officers what his daughter had done wrong. >> We told you not to knock again. >> I can hear my daughter yell. I'm telling her to calm down, bro. That's what I'm doing. Telling her to calm down. >> Let me double. >> But can I ask you a question though, sir? >> In one sec. >> Now I got to Now, we didn't do nothing wrong. You did something wrong. She did something wrong. >> What did she do, sir? >> I got to get back in there with her. So, >> well, can I ask you what did I do wrong, sir? >> Yeah. Let me just >> I have nothing. That's my work bag. I'm just getting off work. All I was trying to do is see what was going on with my daughter, man. >> Glad you got him. >> Let's go. I'll get it. All right. >> Absolutely. >> I don't care. >> I swear to God losing their job or my mama losing their job. >> Oh, she got something in the front pocket. >> I open the door for you. Messing around. I open the door for you. Get them out of the way. Yeah. Move them out the way. Trashy police car. Get him. >> Raven was ultimately taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. On top of that, she received a ban from the entire shopping center. Losing your temper in public only makes a bad situation worse. Stay calm and cooperative or you might end up with charges and a ban.
