No. Okay. >> The young woman is searched and handcuffed on the spot before her handbag is inspected.

For a for a long Do you want first coat to go to your mom? >> Yes, please. >> Because she isn't a Florida resident, she must go through full booking jail photos fingerprints. If she has no prior offenses, it's a misdemeanor with a $500 bond. >> You're not a resident of Florida, so I can't issue her a notice to appear [snorts] because you live out of state, so she has to go to jail for it. Can I drive here? I can drive down to go to court. >> Unfortunately, no. >> Anytime you don't live in Florida, you have to go to jail for the offense because our notice to appear is for like if you were a resident here, it'd be different. Then if you don't have a criminal history, we >> compared to Jacksonville, I couldn't give you one of those four things. >> Yeah. You have to live. >> Can we use like my grandma's address? He all dropped out. >> If she has no priors, it's going to just be a misdemeanor offense. I think it's a$5 $500 bond.

There is no good time. >> Exactly. >> Pay for the wood, >> please. So, I don't have to get my vehicle. >> Lo's called us. So, I would assume that is already gone.

Yeah. >> What What did they take you on for that? Sweet. Thank you. >> Can you pull that out? >> Yeah. >> That was riding there. >> Okay. When he started telling me this stuff been, I'm like, man, it's wet, dude. Like, this couldn't have just been in there. Burglary tools are located in the car, including headlamps, a sledgehammer, wire cutters, Christmas lights, and drug paraphernalia, suggesting repeated theft activity. It >> just got loaded in. >> Yeah. Even this is all >> I'm like, it's wet, man. >> Yeah. >> So, him him now he's coming up saying, "I forgot my wallet." Like, come on now, bro. We're past that now, man. You you're obviously lying. Like, yeah. Yeah. I don't know how we going to get this back over there then. But >> well, a lot of wood. Who's there now? Was it 785? >> Um, got a truck over. >> Yeah. 785 7-Eleven. >> Do they have anyone with a truck that can come pick this lumber up and some other merchandise that he had taken? >> This guy is a burglar. Yeah, >> he's got headlamps. He's got the angle grinder. He's got sledgehammer. He's got wire cutters. >> Yeah. >> Drugs and stuff. So, it's to me it's like >> Officers tell him his story doesn't match the evidence. He eventually admits to stealing from Lowe's three or four previous times. >> He doesn't defeat the habit. >> Yeah. >> I'm no psychologist, but I'd say that. You >> I'm sorry. >> I say I'm no psychologist, but I'd say that. >> Yeah. It's a lot of stuff in here. You got Christmas tree lights, man. >> He's got his long hitter here. >> Okay. Oh, sure.

So so I so I can ask you questions. Correct. Okay. All right. That's what I'm trying to understand. All right. So um yeah, of course I get a call about, you know, somebody loading lumber into a a Chevy HHR. He gives this plate off and everything. We come to a stop. He says he forgot his wallet and intended to pay later, but officers point out he never went to a register and the explanation makes no sense. >> You say that there was nothing that you you said you didn't put anything in there. All the stuff had been in there, but I mean obviously I can look and see that it was just raining out. Everything in the car is wet. So I mean that's that's a clue if I've seen one or haven't seen one. But um what how how much more stuff have you taken from Lowe's? >> Say again. >> Not much. Not much. I mean, what not much can be one or two times, but in my book, just if somebody stole from me one time, that's too many. So, I mean, like, how many other times? Like three, four, five times. >> Maybe. Yeah, like that. >> Like, give you give me a number. I don't want to guess for you. >> Maybe three or four times. >> Three or four other times. Well, man, why' you Why'd you take the stuff, man? Why'd you Why'd you take it? You seem like a pretty decent guy. If you got the money to pay for it, why would you you know? >> I thought I forgot my card, man. This time I was going to pay for it. She said something to me yesterday. Who says in there at Lowe's? >> So you thought you forgot your car? Come on, man. Like this. >> I did, man. I'm going to pay for it. >> I have literally Come on.

So why would I go and do it knowing they're watching me? >> Probably cuz you >> gave me like a hint like, "Hey, >> I saw you shopping on the boulevard." >> Uhhuh. >> And I knew and I >> But you still left, man. Like me me leaving cuz I I've left my wallet plenty of times, man, in my car. And I'll be like, you know what? Before I take this out, I'll be back. I'll let myself wallet. I I mean, I've I've done it plenty of times, man. Had a a cart full of stuff. Be like, I >> loaded the car though, man. And I was going to run in and pay for it. And I >> How if you didn't ring it up? >> Huh? What you mean? Huh? If you didn't ring it off the end of the board, >> how much did all this stuff cost? >> Maybe like 80 bucks. >> Maybe 80 bucks. >> Yeah. Hey, Trevor. He wants to know if he could pay for this stuff now. >> Employees confirm he's been stealing left and right and provide surveillance footage to police. >> He wants to pay for it. >> Yeah, he's claiming he wants to pay for it. >> I mean, if he wants to, he can. What about >> last week's? >> What? And what about all the other merchandise he's stolen from me in the past weeks? >> Yeah. So, I mean, >> he's been stealing left and right. At this point, I don't really want to sell him anything. >> Okay. If that's the case, then if that's the case, then it'll be a legal matter and we'll take him over east. Yeah. I mean, he's he's been hitting me left and right. Did you want to look at the video? >> Yeah, I'll look at it just to >> Let me get logged in real quick. Hold on. >> So, Lowe's does sell that brand, but he says for a video he did not take it from the Champagne Lowe's today. >> Okay. >> So, they got it from somewhere else. Probably another Lowe's. And >> you want him to take it? It's a product we carry. >> Yeah. If you can if you can take it if it's from a Lowe's. >> I can definitely take it. He just didn't get it. I I was told he only got the lumber from me today. >> Thank you so much. I should be sending >> stolen items include lumber mulch and other products. Lowe's can only reclaim items they can prove were taken that day. >> You a link shortly. >> You do want me taking the mulch or no? >> Kind of hard to say right now cuz I mean it's >> like we can't prove if he bought it or not. You know what I mean? But >> just leave it. >> Yeah. Cuz if we didn't see it loaded from there, I don't want to come up on nothing. He definitely just told me about the the different lumber. So, >> how about how much money worth of lumber is that? >> 40 bucks. >> 40 >> roughly. >> Again, I I was telling the other guy, he he comes in every single day or tries to. There's some days he gets stuff and other days, >> you know, cuz they they they run the block system for his license plate. So, that's how they know when he shows up. >> But we don't always get to respond in time. I think there's 16 bags of mulch. >> They're on sale right now for $5 a bag, which is actually a pretty good deal. >> Really good deal. >> Yeah. >> That's a good rubber mulch, too. >> Yeah.

Possession of a controlled substance obstruction, resisting arrest and possible burglary for entering the store with no intent to pay. Stole charges for burglary. All right. Put a felony on him.

So, you have to I mean, >> is there a reason for it? Like, what was the reason for that? >> Uh, so they it just kind of depends. There's like new laws and stuff that um the jail can have discretion if it's like a minor charge or something or if it's something that they can issue a ticket with a new court date on. They can, but some circumstances they can't. I would assume in this circumstance you would have to see a judge first.

The woman insists she didn't steal, claiming the socks had no tag and she planned to pay. When shown her receipt, she admits the item wasn't listed. Officers tell her it's too late to pay. She's already committed theft. >> Want some? Go ahead. Go ahead. Nothing else for you. >> Okay. >> Ain't nothing else. >> Do you have a Addie? >> No, I don't. >> You don't have a Addi? Okay. >> Y sh my receipt. >> Okay. Did you steal the socks? >> I took the socks up. The socks was already open. I said, "Okay, it's free socks. No tag on it."

I'm not going to stop. >> You're being stopped right now for shoplifting. Please hang up the >> The woman becomes emotional, saying she needs to go home to her daughter. Officers remain calm, but refuse her request to pay. Meanwhile, her boyfriend waits outside and begins interfering with officers. Are >> you serious? >> Okay, listen. >> Baby. >> Okay, I understand. Are you going to let me talk? Are you going to keep talking over me? >> No. >> So, no, you can't pay for it because you already tried to steal it. >> Never tried to steal it. I promise you everything. I never tried to steal it from 226. >> I can't. >> Can you open up a 665 at the Walmart? I have a female that's in the office. Can we start another rolling? Have a seat right here. Now >> have a seat. >> Have a seat. >> We're going to be in the AP office. Um the boyfriend is outside knocking on the door. Man, back up off the door. Back up. >> The boyfriend ignores warnings to back away and becomes combative. Officers try to deescalate, but he resists and is physically detained after yelling and struggling. Both are now in custody. >> Sure, dude. Back up. Like I said, back up, bro. [laughter] You're going to end up going to jail, man. I'm trying to tell. >> Okay. I'm trying to tell you, man. Back up. >> Okay. >> Yeah, bro. I'm trying to tell you. >> I'm trying to give you the opportunity not to go to jail. >> Okay. >> Again, back away from the door, bro. >> Yo, we'll go ahead detain him.

Get back. >> Get back. with a touch. >> The boyfriend claims he didn't know she stole anything and that he was only reacting because he heard her crying. Officers explained that his aggressive behavior escalated the situation and led to his arrest. >> And listen to what I was telling you. >> No, you Oh, man. I'm bad. >> You didn't tell me nothing. I'm hearing her crying. I'm thinking she freaking out. I don't know what's going on. I'm hearing her cry. That's all I'm hearing. I want to know what's going on. >> Tell that she stole some stuff. >> I didn't know she stole nothing. >> Okay. But I told you that she did. >> You didn't tell me that. You never told me that. >> I did. >> No, you didn't. >> Right here at this door. That's okay. >> You never told me that. You didn't tell me nothing. You said give her back to give her back the purse. That's all you told me. I never knew she took anything, bro. Like, >> come on, bro. that bro still, bro. >> Have a seat, Kevin. >> Just talk to me, bro. Real [ __ ] bro. You just talk to me, bro. >> Yeah. Put your feet inside. I'm going to take you to the county. You going to jail.

I thought you were going to jail. That's it. That's all I ask. >> The woman is questioned in the loss prevention office. She's crying uncontrollably, saying they're homeless and have nowhere to go. Officers repeatedly ask for her information, urging her to calm down. >> No, we don't have nowhere to go. >> All right. What's your first name? [laughter] >> Brandy. He just gave >> two T's or one T. >> He just Britney. >> Britney, what's your middle initial? >> No, not yet. >> Answer this question. >> We got coming down.

You know our situation. >> I don't want to know. No. >> The woman pleads with officers not to jail her boyfriend, saying she only stole socks and some clothes because she had nothing to wear. She begs for mercy, explaining their desperate situation. >> You answer my man question. I don't do that deeply. I just want to go home. Please. I'm just trying to make sure we have somewhere to sleep. >> What's your social? >> Please. >> I didn't take anything. I'll pay for it. Please. >> Please don't pay for it. Please. >> I'll pay for it.

That's all I got. Please, please, that's all I got. Never took nothing from me. I never said nothing. >> Officers show empathy, but stress that being homeless doesn't justify theft. They explained she could have only received a citation if she'd cooperated, but her and her boyfriend's behavior made it worse. >> Only Christmas video for me. That's the only princess video for me. Please >> good. How are you? >> You know, I have nowhere to go. >> We don't have enough clothes. I hope I have clothes on. >> Okay. >> I pay for everything else. It's still not acceptable to steal from the store. >> I'm sorry. Can I just pay for it? >> It's up to Walmart. It's not up to us. >> You don't have nowhere to go. We don't have nowhere to go.

Can I just go? Please, >> please. >> Can I just please? >> No. Sorry to hear that. But no, you cannot leave. >> I never took anything out. I just took some songs. I need a song. >> Still theft. >> I want to go. Sir, sir. >> I was going to jail. >> The officer reflects that he knew she had stolen goods when stopping her, but wanted to resolve it peacefully. Her warrant and the boyfriend's resistance, however, made that impossible. >> So, I I I've been dating people for a long time. I know you probably been dating him for a while. So, I'm pretty sure that he knew that you stole the stuff. It's It's neither here nor there, right? But however, you should have told him when I stopped you at the door and I told you, "Let's not do all this. Let's just go back inside." Right? Because I've been doing this for a long time. So, when I stop you, I already know you have it. I'm not going to stop the wrong person. And then I'm talking to you with common sense like, "Let's just go back inside. Let's handle this cuz I already know. I'm just going to give you a ticket and you're going to go." Now, in your case, you have the warrant. So, you know, there's really nothing that I can do, per se. But if we had went a different route, you might have been able to walk out of here and go take care of the warrant on your own. See what I'm saying? So, he had to get >> That's fine. But listen, that's besides the point of what I'm talking about. That's what other people are doing. I'm talking about your behavior and his behavior. I understand that. Who >> uh whose car she wanted? >> Okay. >> Who's taking him? >> Okay. >> 200, bro. >> You say you taking both of them together? >> Y going to ride down together. Okay. >> So, >> uh she has a warrant. >> Um Okay. All right. Well, I I didn't know. Um >> I'm sorry, too, bro. I ain't going to lie. I'm going be real. I'm sorry. >> I appreciate that. >> He knows, bro. He the same one who pulled up, bro. What we talking about? He'll be straight talking. >> All right. He's going to put you in his car. >> [ __ ] >> Hold on. Wait. Wait. Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Right. Y'all going in the same car. >> I would take the same car. >> You say you going to take them together. >> Yeah, you want you don't want to take that. You >> So it's not that. But normally our policy states that males and females get transported separately. So that's why you want to check her again before I put her in. >> Yeah. Riding in the same car. >> Yes. All right. One second. Okay, have a seat. Just watch your head. >> The woman arrested for an existing warrant and shoplifting. The man charged with resisting arrest. Cooperating calmly with officers can turn a minor mistake into a simple citation. Anger and resistance only make small problems spiral into life-changing consequences. After you see the next case, you may want to think twice. It's shocking.

But as they arrived on scene, it quickly became clear that this wasn't going to be just another routine encounter. Unlike the usual mix of smoothtalking liars and seasoned felons they were used to dealing with this case took a surprising and unexpected turn basically under socounts and then also under the manner of like let's say I want this shirt or these pants I'm going to scan a random item that's like 99 cent or 49 cent for that item. >> Um passing merchandise just not scanning it putting it in the bag. >> That video of it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Everything Everything's already. So the total she admitted to was 12.92 94 cuz I also had her for cash. >> She's here. >> Yeah, she's here. I had her for a cash shortage from before last year. >> But I can't but I was able to add to the case value as well. So >> she's back here. >> Yeah, she's back with me. >> She knows you guys called us. >> So I have all of the transactions where the loss occurred or the losses occurred. And then there, like I said, she admitted to >> you got videos and everything on on the disc. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got it on the thumb drive and then she admitted to the cash that we don't have video of that cuz to it today just now. >> Yeah. >> A statement. >> Yeah. >> Written statement. >> Yeah. >> I'll just take a picture and then I >> She'll admit to you. She's really cooperative. So, >> this might have been one of the easiest cases to crack ever. The store had already gathered all the evidence needed for a solid conviction. And to top it off, the suspect openly admitted to everything. It seemed like a slam dunk arrest. But despite how straightforward it appeared, the officer still had a job to do. Hear the suspect's side of the story before making any final moves. >> She also passed off items. It's the property receipt. >> So once highlighted is what you guys lost. >> Yeah. On here and right here is the items that she deleted. Not necessarily lost. >> Where's everything you guys lost total? >> That's what I'm trying to explain. Like it's a little bit more complicated. So unless you want to like put for each transaction how much, but basically you add this up is a certain amount. Plus adding this up is a certain amount. So I have that one need to write that down. >> Is this one incident? >> Yeah, each one of these is one incident. It's nine separate transactions. So basically it's a mixture of stuff. So this one she item deleted stuff and then didn't scan stuff. This is the property receipt of the stuff that she didn't scan. Same thing here. Item deleted a bunch of stuff. Obviously still left with the stuff. These are the stuff that she didn't actually. And then in one of the transaction, this is just discounts that she gave out under ringing. Once again, items that were deleted versus items that she just didn't scan. And in this transaction in particular, she basically scanned the same 49 cent skew here for a random item. These are all of the items that she ended up putting in the bag. But as you can see, everything's like 49. And >> basically, this cashier turned out to be a real life. You know that viral image of Spongebob sprinting away from a selfch checkckout after scanning a flat screen T V as a pack of gum. Yeah, this was the real world version of that. Except this time, it wasn't just internet humor. It actually happened and the suspect got caught red-handed. >> So, every single time it was involving another customer. It wasn't by herself. >> I guess during the interview, she said she just met the lady, the lady. Yeah, it is unfortunately. And then the lady apparently gave her money. >> So, she admitted all that's >> Yeah, that was just her. She said she $100. Honestly, in the grand scheme of retail crime, this cashier was just a small cog in a much bigger fraud machine. Professional shoplifters, often known as boosters, frequently recruit low-level retail employees like her to help pull off their scams. >> Multiple times. The first time was like in November, and she had um a bunch of home stuff and she wanted discounts on so I just gave her discounts. >> She was late, you know, late family. >> I guess. Oh man, she was doing great until she claimed not to know the customer's name. Really? She expected cops to believe she'd [music] commit fraud for a total stranger. Bad move. >> And yeah, with the lady, I kept giving her like, so [music] >> you're giving free stuff to somebody you don't know her name. I mean, you're you're already confessing to it, so you might as well just be truthful through the whole truthful. >> You risk your life and your your future somebody you don't know. >> I'm serious. You want to check my phone? I don't know her. I don't know her name. I don't. >> Does she call you ahead of time? Be like, "Hey, I'm coming in." >> This her number. I'm on her. >> So, how do you guys organize it? She calls you or you call her. >> She just comes in. >> This cop's definitely going to need bigger boots. He's kneede in BS. That's not how these scams work. It's all planned out like a shopping list. >> She's saying that she has like a coupon and stuff like that. She be buying stuff. So, I guess in return, I just give her free stuff. To avoid leaving a paper trail, the mystery buyer pays the cashier in boosted merchandise instead of cash stuff she can either use or resell. >> She would bring I bring up items and she >> Oh, yeah. She will bring items and I will basically like scan some of the items but not all of them. And I will put the other stuff in the bag and not scan them. >> No, that's right. >> That's right. >> And all of them. >> I know. Now >> she's literally acting like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Maybe once she ends up in the grown-up version of timeout jail, she'll finally learn that actions have consequences. >> Get you out here as fast as possible. I had to take all those earrings off, but you take that off. I'm not going to take it off. >> Don't worry about it. >> It was not working with you. I'm sorry. It's It's me being nice. Wait, let me just go this way. >> No, no. We're going to go this way. >> Don't worry about nothing else. You got to go. Bye guys. >> I'm saying bye to you, girl. >> That was definitely something. It's not every day you see a suspect use the walk of shame to say goodbye to all their co-workers. Maybe she was just trying to save face in a really awkward moment. Hopefully, these theft charges serve as a serious wakeup call and she thinks twice before getting involved in schemes like this again. After you see the next case, you may want to think twice. It's shocking. And for more articles, subscribe to Tag Zone.
