I'm going to figure out if we're taking a jail or not taking >> officers confronted a Wind Dixie cashier, a single mother who had stolen and manipulated over $11,000 worth of Florida lottery scratchoff tickets. [Music] >> All right. So, what's happening is we have an associate. Um, okay. We started seeing some lottery shortage over here for instance ticketing online. >> Um it started back around beginning of July. Um and it's gone on till present. So >> since July this individual's been selecting lottery cards >> lottery cards playing online tickets. >> Yes. >> Okay.

Well, we don't I don't know what's going on yet. So, let me talk to him and we'll go from there. >> Um, so have her on video, you know, selecting tickets mainly at the liquor store. She would just scratch the bottom to see if they're a winner or not, discard them if they weren't, uh, cash them if they were, and then there's also another process on the cash register to go to a ware. Um, like if somebody brings up a winning ticket, we can key in instant lottery redemption and then put in the dollar amount and then we pay that out. Well, she figured out that she could do that even without a winning ticket and everything's still balanced on the back end in our world. But then when we got the >> investigators confirm evidence on video surveillance and a thumb drive containing receipts and transaction logs. Her scheme started in July and continued for months causing major financial discrepancies. A >> bill from lottery then obviously we were like okay well we paid out more redemptions than what we received. >> And so that's when all this started to unfold. Um, so we're looking at um total that I can prove that she took away >> was $10,653 something like that during that time. >> Everything's on video. >> Every on video I got it all on a thumb drive for you. Everything on video. I've got the >> our our report that shows our redemptions on our register and then the all of the redemptions on the Florida lottery terminal.

So that's how >> login for her information. Doesn't matter. The machine is a machine. Anybody can >> The machine's a machine. Anybody can do it. But it's her scheduled shift. Uh and obviously on video, she's the only one at the liquor store cuz we usually only work one person at the liquor store at some point. So >> So basically, she's been taking lottery tickets, scan the bottom if they're winners or not. If they're not winners, they don't win. If they are a winner, she scans them, takes money, and she found a way to get to make a lottery ticket a winner every time. And it's been going on since July. They have a drive full of all the >> started July 2nd, I think, was the first day that we discovered it. [Music] >> Um, so do you have like date and times written out? Do you have anything written out yet or no? Everything's on that thumb drive as far as exposing different spreadsheets. >> So, she's basically taking lottery tickets, scanning them, >> but don't they have to be activated? >> They're all active because they're all, you know, for gameplay. >> I won't tell you. We're trying. >> Police question the woman who pleads to go home for her children. One being a seven-month-old and another with asthma.

We'll figure it out. >> You know, they'll let you desperate. >> So, I just can't just go home. >> Why? >> Because the allegations, I guess, we have going on against you. >> Going to investigate this all. >> Okay. Well, now that they did their investigation, now they could tell us what they have going on. >> Say you had to talk to somebody else to finish going on. >> Well, they're providing us a verbal statement what's been going on since July. Okay. So, we It's not more like you just stole a candy bar. Okay. I guess there's a question about almost $11,000 worth of lottery tickets. [Music] >> Explain to number [Music] >> is that something you really got. >> You want to do you want that back or >> she's right. She's >> okay. $30. You bring it back. They do instant auto redemption as a as a hand key and then they put $30. We give you 30 bucks. >> Right. >> Well, everything balances in our world until the state, which we only get quarterly. The state send us a bill that says, "Hey, >> you actually overpaid. >> We overpaid. We overpaid in redemptions because she figured out that she could just do that instant lottery redemption for no ticket and get and take whatever money she wanted out of a fake."

Like, >> no. >> She's walking with me. >> No, you're not going anywhere. >> I can't even go. >> The woman claims she was previously written up by management for lottery issues and insists she was warned months earlier. Police clarify that the Florida Lottery and corporate investigators only recently confirmed the theft through state billing records. >> No, you cannot pee. >> How do I supposed to use the bathroom? >> It's either you make phone calls now for somebody to get your kids. Okay. I'm helping you that or I put you in handcuffs and we just go. No, we're not doing that. >> So, can you go We have to listen to >> It's my You're in my custody right now. You're not free to go. You're under investigative detention right now. Okay. >> You know what that mean? >> I also want to talk to the man. Okay. >> Okay. >> Just the extra total amount. See if we can just put >> I see. >> Let me ask you a question. >> If a police stand in front of me, they could they could deny me if you use the restroom. You got to tell them why we're in front of you. You're making accusations of you stealing $11,000 from Wind Dixie. >> Say it again. >> Auntie. >> Okay. Because with when I started back over here, he's saying that um $11,000 worth of lotto I took. So the police stand here. I have to pee. Like I'm bleeding. Like he telling me no, I cannot go. I just asked him. He said, "No, she can't even go with me." He said, "I have to stand here." >> Come. >> Yes. >> Can you just for that emote to that right there? >> Yeah. >> 223. >> She said if a female me, I should be able to go. >> It has to be law enforcement. >> Y'all can't stand out the door. Ain't no in the bathroom. Do you have a I need a female officer to >> Oh my gosh. >> No. The thing is I'm having a female officer come here and it's going to search you prior to going to the bathroom. >> Oh, she can search me. You want to take what's in my pocket? No, I was opening my clothes. >> No, >> that's what's in my pocket. >> You're fine. But now >> the only thing in here is milk and it's leaking. That's >> No, you're you are fine. Okay. >> He's saying no. I said can't go. >> But why don't you ask her see if she will um Yes. >> Go pick up your little ones just in case you do have to come with me. >> I cannot hear you. >> Okay. >> She said the same thing you said. >> What? >> I'm sorry. When the police say something to me, I call somebody used to work for the police to work with. Okay. >> She said, "A long as it's a female officer, I can go. Other than that, if it's a male, I cannot go. I have to sit here and hold my ear." All right. >> So, Mr. Art, >> so they didn't tell you about the write up they gave you for that. >> What's that? >> They didn't tell you about the write up that the whole conversation we had in here cuz I had it with Charles in court. >> That's fine. I mean, >> but but this is about the same thing you just talking about. >> Correct. Cuz at that point, we didn't we didn't know where the loss was coming from. >> Yeah. He said the lot he said he said the lotto the lotto is messing up. So, you whatever you're doing, you need to stop. He said because it's a a lot of money for that and then after that it was another one for the >> gonna go upstairs and see what's coming. >> We don't have time for >> I know and >> so apparently apparently 3 days ago lottery police got contacted by Wixie about it. They compiled all the paperwork and all like the files and everything. >> Store management provides full documentation for the police report including register data, lottery terminal logs and security footage. Officers explained the loss totals around $10, $653, qualifying as grand theft for Dixie. So, there's a PDF up here with like tons of information on it about video surveillance, I guess, each actual um scratch off ticket, dates, times, money value. I mean, we're going like 11 grand over 5 months, man. I mean that that's Yeah, that's that's that's >> that's corporate's problem. >> Well, it's theft. It's grand >> theft. William Vincy has their own corporate that investigates [ __ ] like this. >> Yeah. Well, >> they wait 5 months to do this. Well, they just knew about it 3 weeks ago because they got alerted by the state regarding I guess basically they sent a summary or whatever and I guess they said like, "Oh, you're you're over this amount because basically each ticket has a value." So, she would go in just go to the computer and just take money out without scanning a ticket. So, that they hit >> and then I guess that when they found out about it, they started investigating it, contacted the lottery police. Lottery police sent him all the information. Um, I guess he just got the rest of the information, I don't know, yesterday, today, or 2 days ago. And then I guess, uh, she's here, so nobody's talked to her yet. Um, and I guess lottery police said that they have too high of a workload that they're not going to come take this. And it's just simple grand theft. And if you need him to come to the station to uh, go this way to explain all the paperwork and how to read it and all this other kind of stuff, >> they've been helpful already. So, >> he'd be he'd be more than happy to come to you. I appreciate that. >> Like I don't understand why they just don't do it, but whatever. >> So, I just need you to fill out a statement form. Basically, just put your information here. >> Okay. >> Down here, put her information. Okay. >> And then, let's just make this the easy way. So, on the statement form, just write um >> on this date at this time, I was informed of XYZ. Um, >> you begin an investigation which you ultimately determine that from this month, this day to this month, this day, employee X was doing XYZ. Um, you contact the lottery police. Uh, they went ahead and sent you over all the files as far as video, dates, times. I'm assuming the the transactions >> yeah like all the video and all the register transaction was from us and then I had to go through the state to get the for the the lottery their lottery terminal reports and that's what I contacted >> the scans of the actual scans right >> and then just say you got all that information um just say that um it has been determined that the total amount of of of theft from >> um you know business or whatever is x amount of dollars um and then just put in there that you wish pursue charges. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Okay. Cool. >> I mean, that's I mean, we don't have to go too deep into yours, >> right? I mean, everything's on the thumb drive, so >> I know it's going to take some time to do day by day and each time. And I mean, that's a lot. >> That's what I was going to say. It's probably going to be she obviously depending on she says, if she doesn't like, then we'll have either lose her while we continue to work the investigation because it sounds like it's kind of in depth for months, right? So, um, and once we arrest her, the state has 33 33 days to file on those charges. So, if we can't really make sense of it for them, then they're going to drop it. >> Obviously, the only thing I'm worried about is restitution. So, obviously, I have to go through the prosecution part to get that. >> So, is it is it Windixie that's at a loss or is it for the lottery? >> I'm at a loss for the value of the tickets. Now, the cases that I've worked for in the past is we'll prosecute for the value of the tickets cuz that's my loss and then the state goes after that person for the winnings of those fraud tickets. >> Okay? So that's what usually happens. >> That's even more ind depth for for >> Yeah. Yeah. What's the total value for the almost >> for my loss is 10,000. Yeah. 10 10653 >> for the uh just the >> for the tickets. Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Then the value for the date is probably going to be triple that probably. >> Yeah. Depending on what you're >> Yeah. So like I said just on that just kind of like just this date you found out about this you began an investigation and you know just kind of the format of it. So cuz I I likely I'll be I'll be doing the initial just a brief just we got here reference to this is what you said >> it was handed over to them to >> okay >> spend the more manpower. >> Police read the woman her Miranda rights. She hesitantly agrees to speak and admits she took tickets over the past 2 months to cover basic needs like milk and baby supplies. >> Bird, what was your first name again? Ma'am, >> you can read my my man. I am going to jail. >> I didn't say that. But in order for me to speak to you, okay, because you are detained, okay, because we are doing an investigation. In order for me to legally speak to you, I have to read you your Miranda warnings. Somebody said you're going to jail, okay? But I have to read these to you, okay? So, what was your first name?

So, sit down. >> Come on. >> Who do you need to call? >> I don't have nobody to go get my kids. So, come on. You catch me. >> Hang tight. We have some some things that need to be handled over here. So, have a seat. >> Okay. What will be the charge? >> Grand theft and scheme of defraud. As of now, one count of grand theft and schemes of fraud, but there's going to be more counts of grand theft coming down the road once they can go through everything and and atomize every individual transaction. So, every transaction is a theft. >> So, I'm going to have a felony charge. >> Yes. >> Two felonies. >> But it's one count now, but it's going to add up. >> Okay. So, I won't even get no bond. Okay. >> I believe there is. Don't quote me on it, though. >> All right. So, have a seat. Hey, just just bring that later. I don't even need it. Come on. >> Can you do it out the door? >> I got to do it here. >> I don't need Stephen. I hurt my arm. >> Okay. Well, I'm trying to put your arms like you're praying like this. Like you're praying. Stop pulling from me. Hang on. Please put your hand behind your back. >> Okay, hang on. >> Stop pulling. Do you understand that? >> I don't walk down the stairs. >> Doesn't matter. >> Officers arrest her for grand theft and scheme to defraud, both felonies. She's initially sentenced to 2 years probation, but after violating it, she serves 8 months in jail. Greed can make even small temptations grow into life-changing mistakes in chasing a false jackpot. She gambled away her freedom and her future. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. >> I recorded you stealing from stealing. >> Stealing? What did I steal? On December 18, 2021, Target security spots a woman in purple playing fast and loose with the selfch checkckout scanner. Some items make the beep, others not so much. >> There's one lady who's selected at all. She's at the uh who's at selfch checkout now. >> All she did for her was so like all the clothes that she selected. We anticipate she's not going to scan those. >> But yeah, she's with three other >> but she's the only one. She's wearing purple. So right now she's the only one y'all want if she they all walk out. Okay. >> You said she's in what now? >> Purple. >> They said blue at first. >> I thought I heard purple. >> So purple is at the leg. >> Okay. We're just going to wait for her to fingerprint her and photograph her and then send her home. >> As long as as long as she hadn't taken anything major,000,000,000,000 now. >> I have to double check. I I'll when it comes to the the different prices I >> I remember back in the day it was,000 and then I mean it was 500 then it went up to a,000 coming out now. I'll tell you >> officers catch up with her outside. She's firm. I scanned everything myself then quickly switches to defense mode. Hello, ma'am. >> Hello. >> Hold up just one second. >> What did I do? >> Uh, the security already uh recorded you stealing from the store. >> Stealing? What did I steal? >> We'll get document that in a moment. >> What do you mean? I rung up all my stuff. >> We will document that in a moment. Did you come inside with us? >> Really?

But I run up all my stuff. over to the right for me over here. >> Yes, ma'am. >> In this little hallway down here. >> Security, however, singles her out as the only one from her group caught hiding unpaid goods. She tries to pass the blame. Maybe friends helped scan. >> Hello, ma'am. >> Hello. >> Hold up. Wait just one second. What did I do? >> Uh, the security already uh recorded you stealing from the store. >> Stealing? What did I steal? >> We'll get document that in a moment. >> What do you mean?

Uh, >> the security has identified only you as the one who was taking things. Take a seat on that bench back there. One of them. >> We'll get there in a second. >> So, what what all happened in there? >> What happened in there? >> So, she did steal it then. Okay. >> So, what happened then? >> She scanned stuff. >> She scanned stuff. >> Yeah, >> she scanned everything. Okay. Then why would loss prevention call us saying that she's concealing things inside of it? >> She got to come here first. >> So how do they call her? >> Cuz when she stole if not if >> things heat up when she questions whether she's being detained and accuses officers of blocking traffic confusion and rising tempers. >> You know my receipt is checked out before y'all. Right. >> Okay. >> Thing about shoplifting is about intent. So you can put something inside, take it back out and it's shoplifting. We be late to call. >> I hope you don't apologize what you're doing. Can you let us out? >> Uh, nah. My car is just going to sit there for now. >> Sit there. >> Yeah. >> So, will we be in hell, too? >> Right. >> No. >> So, you block >> So, why you can't let me out then? >> You blocking traffic. >> My car's just parked there. >> I know, but you blocking traffic and that ain't part of the law to be blocking traffic.

Toys and Christmas stuff. Yes. Clothes. Not one. >> And you ring it up. Put it in the bag. >> Everything isn't about race. >> I was white. We' have been walking away from here. I would have slapped Betsy in the parking lot. The wouldn't have said nothing. >> N if that was the kid, I would have had to do. I don't care if you black, white, orange, yellow.

I'm sorry. >> How many times you went to the store and shop? >> I shop a lot. >> And they don't never go in the bag and just a basket and just sit there and ring all the stuff up. to take it all out and individually hit it and put it in the bag. >> Okay. What did I ring up? Like cuz I thought I was scamming and it's not like I don't got no money. I can pay for the stuff. But I really thought I was ringing up. Stop calling me. >> At one point you're actually doing it right. You taking the stuff out, scanning it in, putting it in the bag. Yeah, it's going to take a minute for like the other. >> So, this was the first and then I guess these are too. So, she paid for a toy, some toys, and some Christmas stuff. So, none of the clothes.

He has consumed donuts. He has consumed this drink and he has dumped them right now. He has this Dr. Pepper that he's consuming and he has a can of Pringles also in the cart that he's consumed already. >> Okay. >> Uh we were just waiting to see if he was going to pay for it. Um but I mean we already have him on dumping um items already. >> Loss prevention staff observed him consuming donuts, Pringles and a Dr. Pepper while skipping scans at the selfch checkckout. They confirmed he had done this before at other stores. >> Okay. All right. And is he on this side or he's on this side? >> Right now he's going to grocery. He's uh going to the grocery self checkouts. >> And you guys want to pursue? >> Yes. >> We'll see if he scans the other two things. >> Okay. Customer service. This guy. Pretty sure that's Hector. >> Oh, I'm pretty sure that is Hector. >> Has he scanned everything? He's scam hard. Yeah, so far he's at $32 right now. >> Yeah. The most important things that we want to make sure he scans is that Pringle scam that's in there and that Dr. Pepper that he's got caught like trying to steal from Lowe's like four months ago. >> What do you mean? >> I didn't think he was going to leave at first. I thought he was going to be a problem. >> No, he leaves. But he does try to like >> grab. At checkout, the suspect Richard scanned some items but deliberately skipped the empty Pringles can and an energy drink. He attempted to pay for the rest and leave. >> You have another energy drink. >> He had a Dr. Pepper black cherry zero sugar that he's been drinking. >> It's still in the car. >> Oh, he's going to pay for that boy. >> He scans the Dr. Pepper. >> There he goes. >> See if he sc he skipped it. >> Yep. >> He went to reach for it and he skipped it. >> Don't do it for $1.97, >> right? >> Did he scan the donuts? >> No, he hasn't scanned them yet. Is the Pringles can the last thing in? >> Yeah, he hasn't he hasn't even gotten the Pringles can. >> No, he's going to hit that pay button. >> Yeah, he's not going to do it. >> Did he add the Pringles, too? >> He So, the Pringles are still in the can. >> Oh, so he just put >> He hasn't He didn't scan them. He He just ate them and he left them in the basket. >> Oh, so he already ate those? >> He already ate the Pringles? Yes, they already. >> When confronted, Richard claimed he was diabetic and ate due to low blood sugar, describing it as a medical emergency rather than intentional theft. >> They're already empty. Okay. >> And he's going to go >> grocery. >> So, I'm a diabetic. >> Okay. >> And I have low blood sugar. >> Okay. >> My mind isn't functioning properly when I have low blood sugar. >> Okay. >> So, I'm still going to get charged for the shoplift even though it's something that was more of an emergency than anything. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be something you have to talk to the judge. That's something he'll take in consideration. Right now, we have to deal with what we have at face value. Okay. But follow this way. >> Real quick, man. What's your name? >> J A N. >> Huh? >> D E N. >> And do you have a New Mexico ID? >> I have an Arizona ID. >> Okay. >> Can I ask for a favor? I have an earbud in right now and it's playing music and I just want to make sure I can hear you guys. Is there any way you guys can take it off from here? >> Officers read him his rights. Richard repeated his diabetes excuse but admitted to consuming donuts, a Starbucks mocha, Dr. Pepper, and Pringles valued at $6os 39. Am >> I You have the right to remain silent. Anything you can say will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned. You cannot afford to hire a lawyer who will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide anytime you exercise these rights and not answer my questions or make any statements. Do you understand? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. So, you want to talk about the items that you consumed right now without paying for? >> All I the same thing I said earlier, just low blood sugar, not mentally. It was more of an emergency situation than nurs. That's all I really have to say. >> Okay. And do you remember exactly which items they were? >> Uh, double shot mocha for Starbucks and a two pack of sourdough donuts. >> And the Pringles? >> Yeah, they were sitting right there. I had fun. >> Well, we were watching. You didn't scan the Pringles. >> Thought I scanned them. If I didn't, then that's >> yeah, >> my fault. >> All right, guys. Grand total >> uh grand total of 639. >> And then you guys are just want to pursue for the shoplifting. You guys want any trespass or anything? >> We'll just pursue for the shoplifting. We might trespass. >> So want to pursue for trespassing. Okay. So you're more than welcome to come back. Just >> store staff requested charges for shoplifting and trespassing due to his prior history. Richard cooperated and asked if he could take his diabetes medication. I mean, what >> my stuff next time? Next time. You guys mind if I take medication real quick? >> Uh, just give us a second, man. Do you need medical attention? >> I have Well, I have my medication on me, so I was I was just asking, but that's fine. >> Yeah, >> I think I can I can make it for a few moments. >> Is it for your diabetes as well? Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. >> Is it insulin or >> Yes, ma'am. I mean, if you guys don't mind, I I'll I can I can do it with being cuffed in the front if you guys are willing to be okay with that. It's up to you guys, but I can >> Okay. All right then. So, real quick, I'll go do a citation for come back, have you sign it, and we'll get you going. Okay. >> Okay. >> Traffic. There's three warrants for traffic citations. I don't know if they're traffic citations just yet, but if that's what you can remember to your knowledge last time you got cited for anything or an interaction, then it might be. Yeah. >> Well, the only thing that I've gotten cited for was over a year ago and uh I had gotten paperwork from the court saying that they were taken care of by >> I mean, you've been cool with us, man. Is there anywhere that we can drop this off because >> No, cuz I brought my motorcycle. Is there anywhere I can take my medication now while this is being taken care of? >> Yeah, we can go ahead and do that for you. Um, okay. Let's go ahead and go to the car for now. But there's nobody like not even a >> officers discovered he was carrying a knife. They safely allowed him to administer an insulin injection while in custody. >> Friend's house anything like that. >> Somebody's one of my friends is calling me. I just don't know who at the moment I can't see. >> We can try to work with you. Okay. >> Where's your medication at? >> It's in my medic. Okay. All right. You don't have no weapons, anything on you? Nothing like that? >> I do have a knife on my left hip. >> Your left hip? Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Anything else? >> No. >> Okay. Just going to take everything now. Okay. >> So, I'm assuming that I'm probably going to see a judge until Monday. >> Yeah, >> because it's the weekend. >> Yeah. Yeah. Be on Monday, man. >> So, will they be able to give me a medication? >> They should be able to. Um, as far as the medication that you have on hand, I'm not too sure. >> I know. I think I can enter that with your property, but that's going to be something you have to ask the the >> Is there any way I can take some of that medication right now? >> Yeah. >> Because we probably won't make it to the >> Okay. >> to the jail. It'll just take It'll just take me a few minutes. It's in the in the >> Only thing is I don't got water, man. I don't even have water. >> No, the water is fine. I just need the insulin. >> Okay. >> Which? >> Uh the No, the big one. >> Big one? >> Yes, sir. >> It's a pill, right? >> No, no, no. It's a injection. >> Uh >> I can I can do it. It's going to be the yellow one. >> This one? >> Yes. And that's the one. Yeah. And if you can put it in Yeah. If you can put it in my hand, I can do it. And then >> stick it on. >> They can give you at least one. That's fine. Yeah, we'll just take off one for you right now.
