I'm blind. >> Okay. >> And I have a baby. >> Come on. >> Yes, I am. >> Please, please don't >> just face the vehicle. >> Please, please don't. >> This isn't going to turn into a fight. >> Please, please don't arrest me. >> You'd have to be pretty foolish to try shoplifting in the first place. But the criminals in today's video take that foolishness to a whole new level. Don't expect any criminal masterminds here. Their attempts to outwit the police are about as effective as using a screen door on a submarine. Now, >> what about my bike? >> Store staff recognize a familiar face, a repeat shoplifter previously caught on video leaving in unpaid clothing. This time, they monitor him closely as he cuts tags, damages merchandise, and heads to the register while already wearing items he hasn't paid for. Hello. >> He is in my line right now, but I'm going to go ahead and see if he'll buy his items so that way we can get him trespassed. >> Yeah, he already trespassed. >> Oh, no. >> I do have a video of him walking out though wearing our clothes. Um, and then he came in right now and I had noticed him and I sent it to my manager. I was like, "Do we know this person?" Like the main manager. And he was like, "Oh yeah, that's the guy that walked out wearing our clothes." And um >> what was that? >> Let me look. I have the video. >> Was it within the last month or so? >> Not in the last month, I don't think. I think it was like [Music] and then he was trying to cut hard times off. I do have it on video as well. >> Today. Yeah. Did he cut any? >> Um I'm I'm not sure if he got it off or not >> or damage it. >> I'm sure he damaged the clothes. Yeah, >> he damaged the clothes. >> Yeah, you could see him going with the scissors. >> Oh, do you want to pursue charges? >> Um, sure. Yeah, you could do that. I don't know if I'm able to pursue from the last one, too, but >> Well, if you have video of today, we can go with that. >> All right. Yeah, I will go ahead and pull it up. Or if you got the clothes, take with >> Oh, no. He's in line with it right now. >> Staff discuss with police whether to let him pay or move forward with charges, pointing to surveillance footage showing him in stolen clothes. >> Oh, he's in line with a half. >> Yeah. >> You want to let him pay for the clothes? >> Yeah, we can let him pay for it. I mean, if he's going to pay for it, pay for it. that. [Music] [Music] >> Oh, so she pays for the clothes. You just want them trespassed. >> Yes. >> Okay. So that's him walking out. Those are our proofs on him. He's wearing our jacket. >> When confronted, the suspect insists he did pay for the shoes on his feet, but the receipt doesn't match. After some back and forth, he admits he already put them on and is detained. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I know these are your shoes. >> Yeah, those are our shoes you're wearing. You cut them off. >> No, I just paid for them, man. >> No, you didn't, >> man. For these, man. I don't see the shoes on here. >> Where are the other shoes you had in your cart? The blue ones. >> Which ones? I don't have no blue ones. >> I don't know why you're trying to >> dude. I just paid for my stuff, man. >> And then what about the last time you were here? >> I ma'am, I haven't been here in over a year. >> So, you said you just paid for those shoes? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. And you put them on already? >> Yeah. I don't What's wrong with it? >> Look, it's just kind of weird. Are there shoes on? >> Cuz you didn't I don't see. >> Yeah, there's no >> I haven't even walked out of the store or nothing, man. >> I get you, bro. I get you. Just put your hand behind your back right now. >> Officers explain he'll face at least a criminal citation and possibly more if warrants are found. The suspect reluctantly removes the stolen shoes and changes back into his own. >> As long as you're clear, um, you know, I can see about the criminal uh citation. Okay. Okay. But at the very least, it's going to be a criminal citation. >> Yeah. >> At uh you you've been in meeting court. >> Are you going to come back or you go at 135 East? >> It's been a long time. >> Been a long time. Okay. Look, like I said, at the least criminal citation. Okay. At the most DC, but figured that out. And can you take those shoes off? >> Thank you. Do you remember how much they were? >> They were 24. >> 24. Okay. You have an idea, Mr. Go look at the video. >> Oh, it's you. >> I'm going to take my unit real quick. >> I can't get my shoes. >> Huh? >> My shoes. >> Identified as Hector. Officers note he's calmer than during previous encounters. A background check reveals four active warrants, felony larseny, municipal shoplifting, and unpaid fines. >> You know, we all pay for our stuff. You know what I mean? If I pay for my stuff, I expect other people to pay for their stuff. >> What was your first name? >> Hector. >> Hector. Uh, if you don't have a warrant, then >> I probably >> then we'll do the citation. >> Probably. >> But if you got a warrant, then I got to act on a warrant. >> No phone. You said >> no.

Those might be the ones you were thinking about. Um so yeah, we'll wait for the total. Okay, for now I can. Well, we'll wait for the shoes still forget. >> You think I can finish my coat? >> Wrong foot. Yeah. 42272. >> Now, what about my bike? While waiting, Hector politely asks for food and water. Officers provide beef jerky and a drink, noting his cooperative demeanor. >> Still get my jerky, please. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just let me have you have a seat and then I'll I'll get you a piece or two. >> All right. Just bear with me. Okay. >> Yeah. I'm going to see if I can just drop this off at his mom's house.

He admits shoplifting has been his way of surviving. Yolanda. >> Yolanda. Okay. >> Uh yeah. Um >> you know this um a couple of months back. I don't know if you know him. He works for Metro. >> He asked me to think about I'm ready to get off these blues and get out of here, man. >> Yeah. and tell him that I can help him, that I'm willing to do that. >> Yeah. >> If you can just help him get out of here, I can give him what he needs and just like his kids and my sister. >> Where were they at? >> Tucson.

He pulled me over one time when I was living at the >> How long ago? >> It's been a while, but I was I was staying over there at the Donian apartments, but they beat the [ __ ] out of me. >> Hector expresses regret, insisting he's not a bad person. He acknowledges shoplifting is wrong, but says desperation drives his actions. >> Yeah, I can do that. Yeah, like I said, I know some people I can make calls. [Music] >> Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. >> Well, you can keep talking. Uh I'm going to be in the front and start all the paperwork. Okay. Yeah. I just have you lean back. Put the seat belt on. Sorry. You're going through all that. Man, >> that's not an experience, but it's just >> No, it's not. But >> I've been out of prison for 3 years.

You know, crime's a shitty thing to do in any regard, but you know, >> you got your struggles. >> Anything. I'm sorry. You know, I don't I don't mean to I'm not a bad guy, man. >> Yeah, I hear you. Watch your name. Yep. Hector was detained for shoplifting, caught wearing unpaid merchandise, damaging items, and cutting tags. That alone would normally result in at least a criminal citation for shoplifting. But the bigger issue is his four active warrants felony larseny. Municipal shoplifting, unpaid fines. Stealing may seem like a quick fix, but it only leads to deeper trouble and consequences. Honesty and responsibility are always the better path, no matter how hard life gets.

Get this. >> Deputies respond to a shoplifting call at Target involving a family of three generations. The 17-year-old daughter was spotted concealing cosmetics while her mother and grandmother slipped bottles of wine and champagne into bags. >> How's it going? >> What's up, Taylor? >> Hello. What's going on? This is what she took. >> Security explains that the teen was caught first, but camera footage quickly revealed her mom and grandma were also concealing items inside a purse, shopping bags, and a black backpack. >> Yeah. So, her parents tell you want to briefly. >> Yeah. So, this young lady had this stuff inside of that green bag and >> a backpack over here. >> Okay. >> She just decided to walk out. I stopped her, escorted her back here. More information reveals she's with mom and grandma here. >> Okay. >> Mom and grandma did not see me bringing her from points of sale through here. >> Okay. >> So, they're completely out of the loop on that. Um, on camera, the mom is putting stuff in her bag/backpack as well. I don't know if she walked out with it or not when we escorted her back here. That's where our focus went. So, um, it looks like the mom is potentially walking around looking for her who's obviously detained in here. >> Alcohol. >> I don't drink that. My parents do. I don't drink that. I don't drink that. I don't even drink anything. >> But you put it in your backpack. >> My grandma. My My mom first and then My My mom first and then my grandma did. >> They both put that in. >> They put it in your backpack. Yes. >> H >> I just don't drink this.

Grandma's putting stuff in her backpack. So, we're trying to find out where mom is now in the store so I can go get mom and bring her in here. I guess we'll just take everyone to go. >> Is that grandma in the >> No, mom already gave the cart to grandma. Grandma's waiting by the car. Mom's wandering in the store looking. >> The mother pushed a cart of unpaid merchandise out toward the parking lot while grandma slipped away with wine hidden in the backpack. >> Come on in here. >> Step on in here. Huh? Does that look familiar? >> Looks familiar. >> Yeah, it looks very familiar, doesn't it? Why don't you go ahead and have a seat? Actually, go have a seat right over there. Deputies confront Grandma, who claims the alcohol was meant as Christmas gifts. Later, the mother is located and both women deny paying, insisting they had simply misplaced their wallet. >> You got any ID on you? >> No. >> You don't have any ID? >> No. >> Do you have a driver's license? >> I know. In the car. >> It's in the car. >> Okay. >> What's up with this? >> Just for the gift. >> You're going to gift it to somebody? There's a lot of wine. No. >> 60 bucks on this one. >> It's a good gift. So people just >> There's no um It's just unusual for someone to get that much wine. That's why we're asking. >> No, no. This is just a Christmas gifts for friends and the family in the office. >> Got it.

That's it. H that's not a really good excuse. >> That's what I waited. >> Yeah, >> you should have waited inside the store with the stuff though. >> That's That's my fault. I'm so sorry. >> Is this your backpack or was this backpack belong to Target? >> No, this is not a Target backpack. >> A search of the backpack turns up multiple bottles of wine and champagne. Both women continue to deny any intent to resell, claiming it was strictly for family use. I don't think it's a crazy question to ask. >> I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. No, it's not. >> It's not from >> Walmart. >> I'm gonna open it up and look inside of it. Okay. >> Poncho. Is this your poncho? >> Is this yours? >> No. >> You mind if I look in here?

You didn't steal anything from me. >> No, like anyway, >> everyone always wants to apologize after they get caught. >> All right, I will get a receipt for you guys. >> Okay, you want to stand out with the other two? I'll question mom. So, >> under questioning, the mother admits she had placed bottles of alcohol in both her daughters and her mother's bags. She says they were meant for gifts and parties but concedes she couldn't afford the expensive brands. Talk >> me through what happened. >> This is last time. This is this is the first time and the last time I just >> Okay. Well, there's a whole lot of stuff regardless. We we'll get to that. Okay. >> Talk talk me through what happened. You came to Target.

No. >> No, you don't have the money. >> Of course, I can afford like three bottles, >> but not this that kind of champagne. >> Oh, yeah. It's really expensive, which is makes it even worse that you're saying you can't afford it, yet you're going to steal it. >> I know they're your family, but them asking me to do things that are wrong isn't like that's going to get you in trouble. >> I understand. >> Do you Like, do you want to go to jail? Cuz that's what happens. They're using you and then you're the one who goes to jail. >> Deputies confront grandma again about the alcohol hidden in her granddaughter's backpack. She admits to stashing at least one bottle, but continues offering inconsistent excuses. >> When you were at Walmart, what did you get caught taking? >> Food. Food. just nothing. Yeah, just food >> because she has a wallet in the car and uh I stay there and she'll go back to pay. >> Okay, >> that's what she told me. >> So why were you putting things in your granddaughter's backpack? >> And uh this is the same thing if you >> So you put them in your granddaughter's backpack. >> Just only Yeah.

It looks like >> that's stealing. >> Why you say it's >> Despite her denials, surveillance confirms Grandma exiting with the backpack full of alcohol. She is arrested on the spot and permanently trespassed from Target. Really? >> Because you have Let me finish. Because you have things that belong to the store. You walked out of the store to your car with the stuff. >> No, I was without anything. >> When I found you at the car, >> she p she uh have a car. I walk without anything.

Put your hands behind your back. There's video of you walking out with the backpack on your back with a bunch of bottles of wine in it. Don't apologize to me. You didn't steal from me. This is a trespass warning for Target. You are no longer ever allowed to come back to Target. >> If you come back to Target and you're seen, >> you will go to jail again. >> Okay. >> Thank you so much. >> You understand that? >> All right. Come on. And watch your head getting in. >> Watch your back. The mother and grandmother are both convicted of shoplifting petite theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The merchandise involved was valued at $37,955. The 17-year-old daughter is released into her father's custody. Involving a child in theft not only deepens the crime, but also destroys trust and responsibility as a parent or grandparent. Bad choices made for gifts or excuses can quickly turn into lasting legal and moral consequences. The next case is even insane when this happens. >> Stop. I blind. >> I'm going to have you step set up, >> babe. I'm blind. >> Okay, sit up. >> And I have a baby. >> Come on. >> Yes, I am. A woman thought shoplifting at a festival was a good idea until the cops told her to scream. But instead of listening, she kept coming back like a bad sequel. And spoiler alert, sequels don't end well when the police are involved. >> I have my ID over here. >> It's over there. If you come back today, you'll be arrested. >> Hey, how you doing? >> Hey, >> good. Hey, so we got a call about some of your behavior just taking stuff in the booth.

Have a great day. >> Bye. >> Hey, what's your first name? >> What is it? >> Azel. Azel. >> Azel. Perfect. That's perfect. >> Yeah. >> Despite being told again and again to leave, she popped back up like a bad game of whack-a-ole. At that point, officers decided it was time to hand out bracelets. The shiny metal kind. >> Yes. Because I didn't do that. Stop. I didn't do that yet. Stop. >> On your back. >> I don't. Stop it. >> You're being stopped. Stop. Stop. Ow. I have a kid. >> I have a kid in my stomach. >> Stop. I have a kid. Ow. I have a kid. Let me go. >> She's not pregnant.

Okay. >> Are you going to give me my shoe and I'm got your shoe right here in the bag? >> Can you walk for me? >> Are you going to go and talk to me? >> Come on. >> Yeah. >> Babe, stop. This hurts. >> She tried every excuse in the book. Mystery illnesses, dramatic stories, you name it. But the officers weren't buying a single chapter. In the end, they walked her out like the world's worst festival headliner. >> Walk myself. >> Then walk. >> I would like you to tell me that like I didn't >> You were trespassed here earlier for stealing. >> No, I was trying to get out >> here again.

How are you taking care of your children if you're here all day? >> My kids are in daycare. [Music] >> Night. >> They are. >> The longer it goes, the more obvious it becomes that this isn't just a shoplifting problem. It's a mental health crisis unfolding in real time. >> No, I'm not. >> We actually are. >> Can you talk to me? Can you talk to me and let me go for right now? >> No, you need to me. Ow. Let go of me. I need to get up. Ow. You don't do this to a person. >> On your butt. >> Stop. You don't do this to a person. Let go of me, please. My friend's over there. >> I tried being nice. >> Babe, my friend is over there waiting for me. I would like to know. I went to I to hang out with my man over there. >> You're not going to. >> I don't care what you say. My dad, Don Nicholson, told you we we don't do this. And I need to get the rocks back.

Would you undo these and give me my shoe? >> Yeah. >> No. >> No. I don't have anything bad. These are my things that are personal. My like I just got dressed and my Josh my cousin um is >> Do you remember me telling you you weren't allowed to be here? >> Yeah. I was trying to get out out of there. I couldn't find a friend and this guy said I should sit down and listen to music with him. >> What was his name? >> Um he was an older man and he said he didn't want the ice ring. >> Okay. Did you know about how long ago I told you, man, that um uh they were telling me, "Have you pulled down my pants?" I would legally say, "Do not um" >> Even while being patted down, she's running her mouth like she's auditioning for a debate team nobody asked for. The officers, however, have already heard it all before. >> That's illegal. >> I don't care. I don't care. That's illegal. You don't touch me like that. Unhandcuff me now. >> Nope. >> No. Unhandcuff me now. I don't appreciate this. I didn't do anything. I was trying to get relief from this place. I was going to get um a a hot uh not a hot chocolate, but um you >> can't get anything here. I told you allowed to be here. >> Uh uh I can be here for what I I'm a service girl. You never treat a service girl like this. >> I don't know what that means. >> Um it means that I do service for the state. I'm an advisory uh president. So, I would like you to take these handcuffs off me and all and I don't leave here. They said the people out here you were telling me I need to leave. You could have walked with me. >> You waited for me twice. >> No, I didn't. You followed a video of something trying to arrest me. I was scared. I'm scared forever. >> No. Stop, man. I was scared. All my stuff is here. >> No, I could get No, >> I want to be No, I would like No. Stop resisting. >> No, I didn't do this. >> I would like you to have hand company. I didn't do any of this. No, >> you never treat me like this. Don't ever. You never do this. I didn't do anything. I was going to go to the other guy. >> Oh, then I saw you. >> I was. >> He does not want to press charges. The store owner showed mercy by skipping the theft charges, but the woman's refusal to leave earned her a free ride to jail for trespassing and resisting arrest. The store cut her a break on shoplifting, but she still got hauled off for trespassing and resisting arrest. Sometimes mercy runs out when you keep pushing your luck. Dodging one charge doesn't mean you dodge them all. It not the craziest incident you can see. The next case will surprise you. >> That's uncalled for, dude. No, you're trying to pull. >> I am not trying to pull it. All right, I'm going to hold the record. On May 19th, 2025, police got called to Walmart because a man decided his New Year's workout would be shoplifting and cardio. He was spotted in a burgundy shirt, green backpack, flipflops.

Coming down towards uh Crafts. There he is coming back up. He walks the whole freaking store. He's going to >> I'm assuming y'all are going to want to prosecute. >> Uh probably. Yes. I mean, I don't know what all he stuck in the book bag. The only thing that I saw I saw was the ground. >> Is he coming up towards the front right now? >> Yes. >> He's on the back. Right in the back. >> Okay. >> He just meant it was like arts and crafts. >> He's got on a burgundy shirt and he's got a green backpack thrown over his back. >> But I seen him with a pack of t-shirts. He switched out the pants because he had a black pair. He put that out, put the brown one in, dropped lotion and stuff all over the floor. Then he picked something else. Then he got another bag of like white t-shirts and stuff. went around the aisle and then he started shoving it somewhere. Now he's got food and he's saying this camera right here. I don't know what's wrong with it. >> Simple. That suspect's going to have a >> loss prevention says the man swapped pants in the store, dropped lotion so much for staying moisturized and stuffed t-shirts and food into his bag before wandering toward the bathroom like nothing happened. >> You don't mind if I Oh, here we go. I see. Yeah. Just walk in a little bit closer if you don't mind. I want to walk around and see if >> I'm still going to keep looking. Like I said, I >> if if you do find him on the cameras, call back in and they can tell us where he is. All right. >> All right. >> Officers check security footage, confirm the loot stuffing, and get a good look at his face. Spoiler, it's not going to be his best angle. Yes, ma'am. Why are you touching me though? >> Turn around, bro. Why? What the [ __ ] >> You've been told to turn around. >> Take this off. I know. Hold on. >> Crazy, man. >> Take it off. >> What have I done? >> Well, we will get to that in a minute. >> I don't care. Why are y'all treating me like this, though? >> Hold up. What?

This is [ __ ] I haven't done anything [ __ ] wrong, man. >> Where Where did the other officer go? >> I haven't done anything wrong. Why are y'all treating me like this? >> This is [ __ ] The goddamn [ __ ] >> No, you can keep yelling. It ain't going to change. >> It don't [ __ ] matter, man. Why are y'all? I don't even know what the [ __ ] I did. You took your goddamn power to >> I'm in DUI court. You guys >> I came in here to use the bathroom. >> Okay. >> What the [Music] >> Damn wrong with y'all, man. What is going on? I want to know what's going on. >> Why are y'all pulling? >> Where's my phone? >> Let's keep walking. You want to catch a >> They find him in the store. He plays the I'm just using the bathroom card, but the cops aren't buying it. >> An obstruction charge.

Okay, can y'all explain to me why I'm walking? Why am I getting arrested? >> Keep walking. >> Why am I getting arrested? >> This is [ __ ] man. >> Okay. >> Can you tell me what the I've done? No, you can't. Where's time is 100 working? >> No. >> I want to know. >> Why am I getting arrested and being [ __ ] publicly displayed out here in front of [ __ ] everybody? Why is that? >> Yeah, you're making a bigger scene, man. >> I am not making a bigger scene. Y'all were y'all had me arrested in handcuffs walking me through goddamn Walmart for no [ __ ] reason. Explain that to me. >> I was in the bathroom using the restroom. That's all I was doing. Explain that to me. Explain it. Explain it. Can't you explain it? No, you can't. This is [ __ ] I don't get it. What the [ __ ] >> This is [ __ ] man. >> Ridiculous. >> Man, let me guess. These are probably >> I can't even use the restroom. >> That's not mine. >> Smells like alcohol breath. >> That's not mine. >> Got my hand pants. >> I can't restroom, >> man. I got you on camera. >> Huh? >> What? >> On camera. >> For shoplifting and obstruction. >> Concealing pants. >> Concealing pants. I don't have pants. >> These right here. >> Those are mine. >> Yeah. >> I've been Those were in my bag. Those are mine. >> Show us. >> I've had them. >> He loudly protests, swears he's innocent, says the cops are targeting him, and denies the pants in his bag, even when officers literally show him video proof. Let's go ahead and go through the bag and lay everything up there. >> Yeah. >> God, it's ridiculous. They're selling pants. Those are my pants. I I brought them in there. I had them in my bag the whole time. >> This looks brand new. I bet you >> that ain't mine. >> I've been [Music] in here. So, >> you show me. I go for [Music] >> those pants. That's amazing. >> I was looking in my bag. >> Do you see me putting the shorts in my bag? >> Where's it at? I want to see I want to see myself putting in my bag. >> Where's it at?

I can book you as [ __ ] gangstalking. >> You want to arrest him? >> Gangstalking, man. >> You can be booked in as John Doe, >> but that means I will not check with you again until 2 days, which means you don't even get counted for the two days you're in there cuz they keep you in John Doe. That doesn't bother me at all. >> John Doe? >> Yeah, cuz you're not giving a name. >> Well, who said they would give him a name? >> Well, he asked and he didn't give a name. >> What is your name? And you did, >> man. I'm in DUI court. I ain't got to say I ain't got to say anything else. >> Okay. Now, you're also being charged with obstruction. John >> officers explain the shoplifting and obstruction charges. He refuses to give his name, so it's looking like a John Doe kind of night. >> All good here. >> [ __ ] man. You got [ __ ] a little bit of authority. >> [ __ ] y'all. >> Y'all, man. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> No. [ __ ] Let's go. >> Do you have a hard I don't give a whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.

Y'all ain't [ __ ] >> I ain't [ __ ] did nothing wrong man. >> He accuses them of racial targeting, declares himself a targeted individual. Calls the officer's names and casually drops that he's due in DUI court. Great resume. >> All right. >> Oh no. If they're not bag, >> it was it was all loose socks in here. [Music] >> Like a lot of it's the same brand. It's like he got it from somewhere else. Like all the shirts this George brand [Music] show me. All right, you got to tell me Walmart good, bro. Is it fine until you are? [Music] [Applause] >> They're not going to let him take that in the jail, so just trap it. >> Yeah. >> Officers search his bag and find multiple brand new George Brand clothing items. Jail rules mean he can't take them inside. >> Out of my way. And I said, "Trap, buddy." I was like I was like, "I take up this whole door." I said, "There's four more coming." I said, "But go ahead." But I said, "I ain't even going to bother chasing you." Yeah. So, um, whose report is it? Mine. >> Okay. >> It might be a minute on the yard cuz I got >> officers note he's been caught shoplifting before. He responds with more personal insults because clearly that's going to help.

[Music] [Music] See, I was going to be what you are when I was younger. I'm 38 now. 39. [Music] >> Final result. Charged with theft by shoplifting and obstruction. Flip-flop felony complete. Stealing and lying only make things worse. The evidence will catch up with you. Cooperating calmly with police can prevent extra charges like obstruction. >> Yep. >> Please, please don't >> just face the vehicle. >> Please, please don't arrest. This isn't going to turn into a fight. >> Please, please don't arrest me for this. >> On January 9th, 2024, Burlington staff called police after spotting a woman allegedly turning the store bathroom into her own security tag bonfire. >> Yeah, actually. >> Oh, thank you. >> Burning. >> Okay. Hello. I'm officer for our Marsville Police Department. So, they are requesting you be trespassed. So, just leave those items right here. >> How come? >> Um, so you went in the bathroom and you burned some items, these sensors off some items. >> She denies it all, saying the lighter strapped to her wrist is only for outdoor smoking. She's fine with being trespassed, but swears she's innocent. >> You're innocent. I was at school. >> Okay. So, they're requesting that you be trespassed. >> Okay. What's the lighter on your wrist for? >> So that way when I go to smoke, I just have it right there. That way no one steers it, you know. >> Okay. I get my stuff stolen a lot. Okay. Crazy. everything to put my, you know, like uh ID out on the shelf so that way I can bring you in. >> Okay. What's your last name? Okay, hang tight here. I'm just going to write you up a trespass. Um, what were you doing in the bathroom that would make him think that you were burning something? >> I had no idea. I literally had didn't smoke anything at all. Okay. Okay. Just think in there, but it is small. >> Okay. So, we would just need evidence, some sort of, you know, proof cuz she's saying she didn't burn anything. She didn't have anything on her. >> Yeah. So, right now I'm just writing up trust pass. >> That's that's fine because the as soon as I would be able to get video evidence would be tomorrow. So, and of course it's too late for right now. >> Was there any items? Did you check where she left her stuff? >> Staff say the bathroom now smells like burnt plastic thanks to poor ventilation that kept the scent hanging around like bad perfume. >> Did you see anything burnt? >> So, when she I had another customer who went into the restroom at the same time she did. Yeah. >> I went in there and checked myself. Nothing was working at that time. the customer came out and um as she's coming out she's like clean I don't know what that was all about but I had a lighter so I went and I went in there again and all I can smell is the smelling the burning smell of our sensors in the bathroom like it literally still smells like that in there right now >> it takes a while cuz we don't have great ventilation in there so it takes a while for it to come out of the restroom >> um to have to put this on for the rest of the night but she had like um she had like some of our stationary stuff that like a purple pen with like a star on it. Um I know that she had one of those in her hands and I don't know if she still has that or not, but that was one of the things that she had and she had some bags and stuff. I did try to pick up as much as the bags I could, but >> Okay. So, do you So, you just want to trespass or >> I just want to get her >> with no hard evidence. Officers skip theft charges but issue a one-year ban from Burlington. >> And you also It's a one-year trespass from this store. I don't get to shower often, so I mean, I've had people tell me I do smell bad. >> No, they said it's like burning plastic. >> I didn't light anything on fire at all. >> Okay. You know, it's funny because the Everett Library actually uh twice now has uh barred me for 60 days because they said I was smoking in the bathroom. their vapor sensors went off. And the second time I watched a security guard watch me and my home girl walk into the bathroom together and she smoked in the bathroom. I didn't >> I don't smoke in public in public because I like being able to go to the restroom when I can't. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Like >> but like how's the store supposed to know when if two of you go in and then it smells like smoke? >> He said you he said you were the only one in the bathroom when it went off. I was like you saw her go in there with me, dude. Come on. Stop. like, "Don't even play me like that. Run the cameras back." >> Yeah. >> And he was like, "Yeah, but when the sensor went off, she was already gone." And I'm like, "Okay, well then y'all need to fix your sensors or something." >> Yeah. >> Think about how how much time that takes for the smoke to travel to the top of the ceiling and then to get to your sensor or whatever. I don't know. But either way, he knew she was in the bathroom. Then he told me, "Well, you can uh you can um uh dispute it and honestly it'll probably get lifted because every single one we've had except one ever was lifted because the chick smoked fentanyl right in front of the security officers >> like while she was trying to argue with the >> She brings up past false alarm incidents, claims sensors can be wrong and insists the store is jumping to conclusions >> administration or some something. I was like that sounds pretty psychotic. Talk about a jail date for her. 31, are you available to come to Burlington? Um, okay. So, you'll just sign here at the bottom. This says, like I was saying, a one-year trespass. just right down there acknowledging that. So, at this point though, I'm going to give you your copy of this, but you are not free to leave. You do have a warrant out of Everett. Okay. Looks like you have a quite a few warrants out of Everett. There's one for criminal trespass in the second. >> Officers start the trespass paperwork, then discover she has multiple warrants out of Everett, including criminal trespass. >> Are you sure? >> Yeah. That's not my sister. >> So, the name that you gave me is not coming back with her turn. The only name is coming back with Kylie. And all of the photos, the DOL photo is you. The booking photo, this is you. So, I'm not believing that your name is Kiara. >> That's my sister. >> Kiara is your sister? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, Kylie is your name? >> Kaye. >> Kaye. Okay. So, why'd you lie to me about your name? Because you knew you had a warrant? >> No. Okay, so you're under arrest for the warrant. Oh, please, please, please don't >> just face the vehicle. Please, please don't. >> She gives a fake name, but the game ends when the police show her booking photo. She insists it wasn't a dodge arrest. >> This isn't going to turn into a fight. >> Please, please don't arrest me. >> This is not going to turn into a fight. Face the vehicle. >> Please don't arrest me. Please >> face the vehicle. >> Please. Please. >> Please don't arrest me. Please >> put your hand behind your back. >> Please don't arrest me. >> What do I not understand? What do you have? >> What do you have? Is it cellulitis or something? [Music] >> I don't want I have one in there. >> What do you have on your leg? >> Yeah. What is it? I'm saying. >> Okay. Step up here. What's in your pocket? There's like a >> begs officers not to arrest her. Complains of leg pain and shows an injury. Denies smoking anything in the bathroom. What were you smoking in the bathroom? Was it in the >> I wasn't smoking anything. >> You weren't smoking. >> Not smoking, >> tutor. >> No, you don't have anything to smoke. So, >> well, obviously we're smoking something off the tin foil. No, I didn't have that. >> Lift your hands for me. >> Okay. Do you have anything else that I would need to know about or the jail would need to know about? You have anything in your bra before I came in? That's why I drew the bathroom. And what pills? Any food? >> Okay. Have a nurse check you out there. Take a seat in the back seat. Nothing in your shoes. >> She was arrested for an existing warrant out of Everett, which included criminal trespass in the second degree. Lying about your identity won't erase existing warrants. It can make things worse. Past charges can catch up with you even if you avoid new ones. What a stubborn Karen Wright. Comment your opinion about this. Shoplifter below. >> Hey, what's your name, sir? >> Bobby. >> Bobby. Perfect. Can you step out, sir? I just want to help you all. Come on. >> On November 11th, 2023 in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, Cody Anderson tried to buy cigarettes without an ID. When refused, he snatched them from the clock and ran, prompting police to respond and speak with the employee. >> Wanted to buy two cartons of cigarettes. And I said, "Can I see your ID?" Cuz he looked younger. I didn't recognize him. He goes, "I don't have my ID." I'm like, "I'm sorry. I cannot sell them to you." And he's like, "I'll do anything. What do you want? How much is it going to cost? What do you want?" I said, "I can't sell them to you." He like grabbed him from my hands and took off running out the door. So I started chasing him and then I'm like I'm not supposed to do that. Adrenaline was flowing and so I said I'm calling the cops. Well then Tony said he did drop a $100 bill out there with not 100 bucks. >> I have no idea what does it cost. >> It's like 200. >> Oh really? >> Oh yeah. >> Do you have any video of the guy? >> There's reaching for the cigarettes. Mary grabbed them. Mary don't chase after them. I'll see if I can identify him and, you know, have him come back and pay for the rest. >> About 25 minutes later, Cody escalated things dramatically. He rammed his car through a locked gate at Lacrosse Regional Airport. Airport workers reported seeing him doing multiple donuts near an airplane before speeding down the runway and stopping close to a small jet. >> 904. I copy that. He also did a display of knife. cuz I believe he's going to be my theft suspect from Quick Trip Magic Vehicle. >> Airplane's ready to start. You ready? I can hit the door one time and a little better. >> Well, let's wait till we get enough people here. Well, he's got a knife. >> Nobody else is on a plane. >> No, but he has access and he hasn't powered up. >> Can you shut it off from here? >> No. >> Yeah. Go right through it. He actually just sold two cartons. He's up in the window. >> He's putting his on. Hey, open the door. Open the door. Open the door. >> Come out. >> Get out now. Oh, I'm going to be back. >> Get out now. >> Open it again. I'm going to be back and come out. >> I don't have another cartridge. >> Come out now. Show me your hands. >> Get in there. Taser cartridge. >> Show me your hands now. >> I've been practicing. >> Come here. >> Show me your first part. >> Cross. Police. Show me your hands now. >> I'll take lethal cover. >> Let's move this way. Move this way. You got >> police department. Come out now. >> I can't see him from there. >> I can see him over here. >> Officers managed to hit Cody once with a bean bag round, but he kept waving his knife. One officer crept up to the plane and used pepper spray to force him out. But it only made Cody more erratic. And then he blurted out something to the officers that no one saw coming. >> No. >> I will cut you. I am a suicide bomber. >> You're under arrest. Come out. >> Allah Akbar. >> There is no vehicle button. >> I don't for saying Allah Akbar and that he's a suicide bomber. >> Come out with your hands out. Do it now, sir. I just want to talk and see what's going on. Come on. >> Ra. >> All right. Come down here. We're talking. Okay. I'm going to cut my wrist. >> Sir, step out of the plate. >> Don't Don't force Don't force you. >> Yep. Hugh Hughes is coming. K9. >> I don't know if they'll deploy him in there or not, but with the knife. >> I know. >> Do you guys have any uh other gas options or not? >> Not down at the apartment. >> Hey, what's your name, sir? >> Bobby. >> Bobby. >> Can you step out, sir? We just want to help you out. Come on. >> We need gas or something. He's in there. >> This kid with a knife. >> Can you step out and talk to us, please? >> Drop the knife. He's got the knife in his right hand. >> Drop the knife. >> Left hand. Left hand. >> Sir, >> we don't want to hurt you. Just come out. We want to talk. No one wants to hurt you. >> Sir, drop the knife and come out. Sir, >> look. If you shut the door, [ __ ] pilot, I won't blow it up here. >> If he moves across that door, bag him. >> Why don't you step out of the car and we'll talk. Okay. What's your name, bud? >> Bag him again. Bag him again. Bag him again. Did he drop the knife? I can't see it. >> I can't tell. >> No, it's still in his hand. Still in his hand. >> Drop the knife. >> Cody, just come out, man. I'll make a deal. I'll give you the US government. >> Sir, come on. You won't be hurt. >> Just come out. We don't want to hurt you. >> To the right. >> Yeah. When he when he crossed it, don't worry. He bean bagged him. Hit him. Good. But >> the officers assured Cody that he wouldn't be harmed if he came out of the plane with his hands in the air. Given everything he had been saying, it seemed likely he was either intoxicated or struggling with a mental health crisis. >> Out here. >> Promise not to shoot. >> We will not shoot you. We will not hurt you if you come out with your hands up. Empty. Thank you. You >> just threw something else, too. >> It's on the top step. All right, let's see your hands, buddy, and just walk out. >> Oh, you just come out. Keep your hands up, buddy. Okay, >> drop it. >> Just drop it. Drop it. >> Come on out. Let's see your hands. Let's see your hands. >> Come on, bud. >> Just your hands. >> Drop it. >> Hands. Hands. Hands. >> Drop it. >> Watch your hands now. >> Another taser. >> Drop it now. >> To the left. >> Keep going up. I can't move. >> Go for the Go for the shield if you're going to tase him. >> Cody, you going to tase him? >> Us down here. Slow it down. >> Cody, where are you from? >> I don't like them. >> I don't like them. >> How do we end up here today? Do you talk to me? What's your plan today? Do you have any explosives with you? What What kind of explosives do you have? C4. Where did you get that?
