Stealing twice in the same day only makes the crime worse and harder to deny. Anger and racist outbursts won't change the facts. Actions have consequences. What an unyielding shoplifter.

Like I said, when I first came in, I hit the corners thing in there and there was a lady crunched out looking at something and I almost hit her. A pair of uh toilet clippers came up. I almost hit her. >> Okay. >> I just >> Okay, surely it's going to be a lot better if you're just honest with me. >> Okay. Yeah, I put them in there. >> Okay. >> Just two. >> Yeah. >> Okay. You pretending to take them? >> No. Well, I'm not intending to like, you know. >> Okay. I just was on a waiting. >> Okay.

I take um anxiety medication. I take depression medication. >> Okay. Cuz you just you kind of seem all over the place. >> I know. >> Okay. >> It's just hot and I want to go home. >> Okay. Cuz they told me you're on probation. >> Yep. So, is there anything your agent needs to know that you've been >> No, you can call her and tell her that I have police contact. >> Well, I'm going to call her and tell her that you have police contact. >> Um, just wait here. I'm going to have you hang out with my partner. >> The woman denied using any substances and tried to back up her claim by telling the officers a story, hoping it would somehow work in her favor. >> Are you on medication for the back surgeries? >> No, I don't take any medication at all. >> Okay. because I I was I was an addict and so I quit taking everything. >> Okay. >> And then I was in the hospital last week. >> Okay. >> And I had um infected kidney. So >> Okay. >> They gave me something in the hospital and I didn't pick up the bottle of pain medication that they gave me. >> So I don't want to swing back into medication. >> Okay. >> Is your back hurting right now? >> Yeah. That's why I keep leaning over like this. That's why I'm always leaning backward. I can show you the scar. It's like that big. >> I believe you. I don't need to see this car. All right. So, here's the deal, Shirley. What happens with these is you're going to get a city ordinance citation for theft. Um, we have them, so we're not requesting restitution, but I do have to take you down to the jail, get you booked in, and then you're released. >> It's a book and release process. >> Um, your back hurts.

Can you take >> Yep, I'm good. Thank you, Shirley. Before transporting the suspect, the officer took a moment to explain the situation to his partner, making sure she fully understood what had happened and what the next steps would be. So, like I told her, it's a book and release. Book her in, she's free to go. There's no bond or anything like that that you got to post. It's a real quick process. Um, I'll get you a ticket and you'll have a court date. You um actually, I don't think it's even mandatory since there's no restitution, but you have a court date with the ticket. All right. Load that stuff in. >> Yes. >> Come over here. >> Do you know where the jail is? Are you going to go pick her up? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay.

Oh, yeah. >> Sorry about the weight. >> It's okay. >> Thank you. >> I don't got any.

Thank you very much. >> Yep. >> You, too. >> The suspect stayed cooperative throughout. But before booking and processing, her probation officer required a urine screening, although she first denied any drug use. She eventually admitted to having used the night before. >> Your probation agent wants to talk to you. Okay. >> You doing okay? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> I got stood on my back. What happens when I'm doing too much shopping? >> Doing too much what? >> Shopping. >> Oh, shopping.

Our story kicks off with mall security stopping a woman who insists she's not getting arrested just answering a few questions. >> PD like I said like you guys are in trouble like you guys might just get a slap on the wrist or a ticket. But you guys are not going to be arrested right outside it was alerted to them. Other than that they're just going to get your information and then that's it and then you guys will be good to go. Security says she and her cousin were caught red-handed stuffing clothes into a shopping bag they didn't pay for. She claims she was just looking for her cousin, the one with the money, and definitely wasn't planning to steal. >> But other than that, like I said, you guys be arrested. I can take care of. Uh, so they were caught basically shoving like a bunch of like clothing in a bag that they took from a bus and then they try to walk out. >> All right. [Applause] >> Why are you saying that? No, we didn't walk out. >> So, basically, >> one of the times I can't hear cuz you're both yelling. So, go let me let me her side of story. >> So, basically, I was looking for my cousin. My cousin walked out from me. >> And is this your cousin? >> Yes. My phone is dead. She has the money up on her Apple Pay. So, I'm looking for her around the store. I see her downstairs right there by the escalator. I'm telling her to come pay for the stuff. I'm walking down. They said, "Come here." I come here. I'm applying with you guys. I said, they say, "Yeah, you can't just walk past the thing. It's a policy where you just can't walk past the thing." I tell them, "I was looking for my cousin. My phone is there. I'm trying to pay for my merchandise." They say, "Well, we have a policy where you can't walk past the thing." I said, "Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I didn't leave out the door. I'm applying with you guys. You guys are telling me come back because I didn't, you know, I can't walk past the thing." >> Applying for a job? >> No, I'm saying I'm applying like I'm playing with you guys. So, I turn back around, >> do what they say. >> According to her, she's no thief. her phone dead, her Apple Pay with her cousin store rules. She didn't know them and that whole past the point of purchase thing, total misunderstanding. >> I tell her, "Can I pay for my stuff?" Cuz I'm not trying to leave out the door. I was looking for my cousin. My phone is clearly dead. She has my money up on her applic. Do you see? I don't steal. I have on a $3,000 purse. I don't steal. This is my favorite target. Like that's what I'm trying to explain to them. He just sat up here and listened to our whole story. When y'all came in, it was just a whole completely different story. It's just like >> I was just trying to make it a quick story. >> No, that's not literally just flipped everything and just what you wanted to say. But on my end, when I was walking to I lost my mailbox, but I have the app on my phone to pay for everything. You get what I'm saying? But I ended up walking off because I realized that my key wasn't on my thing. I've been looking for it and I realized that it failed. So, I was down there looking for my key, but I have to pay for the things because >> by the carts. >> Yeah, downstairs. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, her phone is dead. I have everything on my phone to pay for it. I just asked them, but she was looking for me. She couldn't call me. She couldn't do anything. I walked out. >> They acted like I walked towards the door. I didn't even walk towards the door. >> So, just so you I'm just going to explain to you how the law works and what the problem. So, anytime you walk walk past the last point of purchase, which is all upstairs, >> and come downstairs, >> you technically have committed a theft, >> right? >> She never walked downstairs. >> She did me around. She walked downstairs. >> They turned me around basically saying, "You can't pass this because that's basically stealing." I said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just looking for my cousin so she could pay for my stuff." It was not like I wasn't implying or anything. Like, I see if I was implying boosters, they run out of stores. >> Like, I'm not no booster. I don't steal. I don't have no reason to steal. >> You're still actually okay. >> My always told me like my aunt always raised us to have our own bed when we go shopping. You get what I'm saying? Take, you know, that's that's how we shop. So, I don't know if they taking it as otherwise or whatever the case may. I'm still trying to pay for my stuff.

I wasn't trying to steal. I literally were. >> She asked to pass off her purse and phone to her cousin. Nope. Say the cops. Those go with her to booking. >> Together kind of right before you left. You know where >> we was together the whole time, but she walked off. >> I like I said, I walked off because I was looking for >> because Okay.

And for you guys, >> um, for the story that y'all told me, because you know, you came in this case lawyer, the best lawyer, >> you said initially, cuz you say everything was fine, the same, and third.

They It's a billion people around me looking at me. Why would I see it like All I was saying >> a million people up in here looking at me. I seen I seen every last security guard. I'm sorry. I seen every little security guard standing right here. Like I literally walk right past them in front of their face. All I see is they like, "Come here. Come here." And I'm not trying to apply. Like I see y'all in my face. I'm telling y'all, my cousin is right there. I'm trying to get her so she can pay for my stuff. She didn't know I was at the She didn't know I was about to walk to the register. None of that. She in a whole another different area for me. >> This is crazy. You just went to church this morning. Your eyes like this crazy. I would never like never come back over to this party in this area or nothing. Like I don't know if they racist or what.

Like I see I walk past y'all in your face. >> She was escorted to the police car officially charged with felony retail theft. She's released later with a court date and maybe some regrets. >> I knew y'all was standing right there. This is not no secret. I'm trying to get her and I'm telling y'all what I'm trying to get. >> Did y'all see that on the camera? >> What's that? >> That I wasn't even all the way down and escalated yet. >> She got to the basement. >> Yeah, because I'm telling her like, come on. I have to pay for this stuff. >> Here to search. lean back so I can put the seat belt slide back. I'll grab it. The woman was charged with felony retail theft and taken into custody. After processing, she was released with a scheduled court date to face the charges. Always know store policies crossing the final point of sale without paying can be considered theft. Excuses won't override surveillance footage or legal definitions. All right, let's move to this next case where things might get even messier [Music] on September 27, 2023 in Okala, Florida, where a Circle K employee dialed 911 after what might have been the wildest convenience store showdown of the week. The drama. two women, some sneaky beer moves, and one very angry Polar Pop Cup. >> It smells like there's alcohol everywhere. This lady trashed my store. >> She came behind the counter. >> Literally came behind the counter and attacked her. >> Okay. >> It goes on and on throughout the store on our way out. >> All right. Are you injured anywhere, ma'am? >> I don't think so. I have little cuts and scrapes. My glasses are broken. Do you need EMS? >> No. >> No. Have you ever seen this person before? >> I'm pretty sure she's come in before. Yeah. Okay. >> The lady trying to steal. >> It's all on camera. >> Let me ask you question. Quick question. Was she in Was she trying to steal? >> Yes. >> And you confronted her. >> I asked her, "Where are the cans of alcohol that you have?" Cuz I watched her take it out of the door. Did she put them in the four cup that's down here after she threw it at me? Because they smell like alcohol. It's all over the machine. It's all over. She poured them in there. >> Yeah. So when I asked her where the cans were, she got all defensive and then was like, "Say I won't." And then she threw the cup at me. Sorry. She threw the cup at me. >> According to the employee, one of the ladies tried the old hide the beer in the soda cup trick. When confronted, the suspect responded not with an apology, but with flying beverages and flailing fists. >> She came around the corner and >> she hit me. So I hit her back. >> Okay. and a customer, a male customer that was trying to buy stuff came around the counter along with her little friend >> and had to pull her off of me. And then I told her to get out and leave. And she kept running her mouth. She went outside, came back in, went outside, came back in, tried to trace me around the store again. And I kept walking away from her and she kept calling me a scared [ __ ] I'm not scared of you. I just don't want to lose my job. Not to mention, I'm 4 foot 11 and you're like what? 56 foot away from me. I'm tiny. I don't want to be beat up by nobody. >> What were they saying when they were bringing >> The situation escalated fast. The suspect allegedly leaped behind the counter like it was Wrestlemania, started swinging, and had to be physically dragged off by a customer and a friend. The poor cashier just wanted to keep her job and her nose intact. >> There those cups in. >> Um >> cuz I had seen her go over there cuz the doors make a ding-ding when you open them. So when they opened, I looked over there and I could see her and she had two cans in her hand. walked over to the Polar Pop area on this side of the counter. >> So then when she came up with her friend, she had two Polar Pop cups, but no cans. So I already knew I'm not dumb. I've worked for Circle K for 7 years. I know how this works. So I was like, "Where's the cans of alcohol?" And she goes, "Oh, I didn't want them anymore, so I threw them away." And I said, "Well, can you go get them so you can pay for them?" And she goes, "Why don't you go get them?" and was in my face and then picked up the cup and she was like, >> even after being pulled away, the suspect wasn't done. She popped back in like a villain in a movie sequel, throwing insults and scaring the employee half to death with her size and rage. >> Say I won't like to throw it at me, which she [ __ ] did. And I was like, I'm not saying that you won't. I was like, I just want the cans. You go get them. And she threw it at me. And then she came around the counter and >> yeah, >> chaos. She hit me. I hit her. I might have hit the friend and the poor customer that was there cuz my glasses were off. So, feet, fist, everything cuz >> Okay. When they came back into the store, did they say anything or >> the the friend didn't come back in, but she had come back in and she had went over there, which I'm guessing she was looking for her stuff. Um, she came back over there. I was running her mouth and I told her, I'm sorry for my language. I told her, "Get the [ __ ] out." Like, just get the [ __ ] out. Go away. And then she came back up to the counter and then started walking this way like she was going to come back over behind the counter. >> The friend, >> no, the girl that. >> So then I stepped over the [ __ ] on the floor to go that way and she called me a scared [ __ ] Which you're two times my size, lady. I'm not a fighter. Yeah, I'm going to stay the hell away from you. And then she won out. And then I think she came back in one more time and then they left. >> Okay. And then I locked the doors because at that point I wasn't helping nobody and I was done. I did cuss at her, but that was after the fact. But I wasn't aggressive. I wasn't rude. I wasn't mean. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people. Should be considered child abuse and tiny. As officers were finishing up their reports at the scene, a man and woman approached them, asking about a lost key that was reportedly found inside the store. When questioned about their connection to the incident, the woman revealed she was the mother of one of the suspects. She told officers her daughter had >> Then enter mom. The suspect's mother showed up, admitted her daughter texted her about the fight, and said her child was worried about getting arrested, but swore she wasn't stealing, just fighting. >> I might be going to jail. Okay. >> So, I was like, "Okay, >> okay." >> So, I don't know what happened inside the store. I don't know if she was in there stealing. I don't know. So, >> gotcha. >> I was >> I mean, >> if you if you do get a hold of your daughter, her best bet is just come talk to me. All right. He has my case number and go from there. >> Yeah. >> You know, you know what I'm saying? If if if if her side of the story is different to what I was told, then I can write her statement what's going on. But from you just telling me saying that she got into a fight into into the store, I need her side of her story. Okay. >> But like I said, I gave him I provided him my name with the case number so owner of that of that of that key can come to the PD and claim it. >> Okay. The officer kindly suggested, "Maybe your daughter should come down and explain things." Mom agreed, saying she'd rather her daughter go to jail than get into something worse. Parenting level realistic. She said, "Mom, I don't know if I will be going to jail, >> okay, >> or not, but I just I'm just letting you know that I got into a fight with a lady at Circle K." We know what Circle K, okay? >> Cuz she ain't You see the thing? It didn't say. So, so called the police. She called somebody. She called the Okay. She called the police on me cuz she said that I was stealing which we wasn't. We was going to pay for it. Me and Jose. >> Okay. >> That's my text. Well, I don't have any money, so I don't know what to tell you. >> I got you. Okay. Like I said, if you can call her, text her, whatever. I work till 7. Her best bet is just to call me so I can talk to her in person and go from there. Cuz if not, I'm I'm going put out a warrant for her arrest. >> That's fine with me. >> Okay. >> But it's my thing. I'm just being as mama. For real. For real. I rather her be in jail with a shot >> cuz most people I ain't saying you, but most people in general will actually shoot past. >> So, all I do now, >> is tell you to do what you need to do, sir, cuz >> this [ __ ] is too much for me. >> Okay. >> But I, like I said, I don't know what happened in this store. They got cameras. >> Yeah. >> So, whatever happened, I'm quite sure they going to run the cameras back. >> Oh, okay. Well, >> I got you. So was she stealing? >> [ __ ] Be honest with me. She was stealing. >> Shame. >> Thank you. >> Mom, do you uh mind if I take your ident your name that may contact you know you asked for the keys but I cannot you know. >> In a moment of comic relief, mom confessed she felt like a snitch and joked around while giving the cops her daughter's info. Honesty with a side of humor. Jacobs and yes, I have been in trouble. >> I don't care if you've been in trouble. I'm >> just letting you know. >> How How you feel right now? How you feel right now? >> I feel good. >> Like a damn snitch. >> Sorry. >> Boy, when I get home. >> So, you don't have your ID on you? >> No, I don't have my ID. >> All right. Can you just write it down for me real quick? Then >> I told on my damn self. How about that? >> Oh, that was funny. >> No, >> they ain't funny. I'm sorry, mama, but I had to say that. >> He had to say it. >> That was too funny. I'm just standing over here laughing. >> How about them apples? >> I told on myself. >> Mom's dropping everything. >> I was a bad girl. >> I'm a good kid. Yeah, he's a good kid. Thank you, Jesus. >> I stay home and go to work for my family. >> Just full name and date of birth, please. >> Oh, boy. You pulled me up. >> I'm not going after you. I'm going after your daughter. >> Shame on her. >> Come here, Captain. How about that? So, I can use your bike. That's crazy. You got a whole car right here. That's crazy. >> You could You should have had >> You not me. >> I snitched on myself. How about that? >> You got it. >> Miss Jacob, can I have your phone number? >> 352 2926522 cuz she don't have a phone. Okay. >> She can contact me is where she get that Wi-Fi. >> Gotcha. All right. So, look, whenever she makes contact with you, tell her best bet is just come to the police department or I'll meet up with somebody with her. I'll take her to the jail real quick. >> The officer gave a final warning. Turn yourself in before his shift ends or expect a warrant. Time was ticking. >> Quick, get it over with so she hasn't be looking over her shoulder every time she's out. So I like I said I work till 7. So if she can come to me before 7 before I send out a warrant for her, but she is she is going to be placed on arrest once I see her. So just let her know she is going to jail, right? Say, "Hey, look, officer was being honest. She will be going to jail." And uh her best bet is just say, "Hey, Officer Rodriguez, I'm here." >> She should have stayed her ass up. She >> should have took that ride. I could have moved a little wreck for her. All righty, guys. Any questions? >> The final tally of charges: burglary with battery, petty theft, criminal mischief. Moral of the story, don't mix beer, polar pops, and punches at a Circle K. It's not worth the mug shot. >> Whoever wrong for having that stuck in my >> On December 17th, 2023, police were alerted by WCO food staff about potential shoplifterss actively concealing items throughout the store. In a surprising twist, the suspects turned out to be a grandmother and her granddaughter drawing officers into an unexpected and tense encounter. >> This is where Oh, she's wearing black. >> Yes. So, she had a box in her hood in either she just picked it up to conceal in her pants right now, but then she has something else in her bag. >> Grandma now? >> No. Yeah, they've been concealing together. I don't know why they're separating all of a sudden. >> And there's another female, a smaller female for sure. Um, >> so would you You want the items back, obviously. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> Then you want them trespassing. >> Oh, mostly. >> Okay. >> So, I can show you real quick that way. Um, here we go. >> There's grandma. >> Cuz they haven't passed points of sale yet. Um, let me What What aisle is this right here? >> This is frozen. This is >> All right. I'm Let's go make contact and then uh you can chill here. >> Okay. Okay. So, she has she has something in her bag and then again she has a yellow box. I don't know where it is. It's House of Beauty cuz >> it's just me right now. >> Okay. But grandma has a ton of stuff in her purse on on top of purse. >> Okay. All right. Cool. I'll try to bring it back over here. >> Officers aren't typically faced with confronting grandmothers and grandchildren committing crimes together. But the law doesn't bend for sentiment. Bound by duty and law. They approached the pair without bias only to quickly realize that despite appearances, these suspects are no different from the average shoplifter. >> Ladies, how you doing today? >> Okay. >> Hey, uh, let's go ahead and bring all this. We're going to go down to the LP office. We're going to go have a little chat. Okay, >> cool. >> We're going to have a chat. Why? >> Yeah. So, right now, um, you're you're most likely concealing items right now that were shoplifted. So, let's just go have a talk down at the LP office so we don't have to make a talk out here. Okay. >> Okay. But I think you're mistaking. >> Okay. Well, if I am, then I am. So, let's go have a talk. >> Okay. >> So, go ahead and just follow me. >> What about all my frozen food? >> Uh, if Hey, if it's a mistake, we'll we'll we'll get some new ones. Okay. Go right. Go right. Go right. Ma'am, stop taking items out of the bag. Kind of a dumb move, right? We're going to go straight to customer service. >> Because this was a family shoplifting case, there's a strong chance financial hardship played a role in their decision. But while desperation may explain the motive, it doesn't excuse the crime. There are numerous resources available: charities, food banks, and community outreach programs that they could have turned to for help. In many similar cases, suspects are often cooperative and show immediate remorse. However, this grandmother stood out not for regret, but for her defiance, making the situation even more troubling. >> Are you grandma? >> Ma'am, what what's your name? Just go ahead and put your hand behind your back for a second. Why? >> Ma'am, put your hands behind your back. >> Why? >> Cuz you're being for. >> No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No, I'm not right now. No, I'm not. Relax. Look first. Relax. Let go of the purse. >> Let go of the purse. >> Stop fighting with us. Do it. >> Male officers are often instinctively cautious when dealing with elderly women trying to balance enforcement with respect. In this case, however, it's the female officer who takes charge and firmly lays down the law. Despite the suspect's age, her behavior mirrors that of a seasoned thief, defensive, confrontational, and lacking remorse. It's a stark contrast to the image most people have of grandmothers making the arrest all the more jarring. >> I thought you were saying some dumb. >> You're saying dumb. >> Listen, you have three officers and you're fighting. You're not going on. You're hurting my arm and you're resisting against us. >> Bring it back. Bring it back now and I'm going to throw you on the ground. >> What an idiot move. >> Go ahead and turn around. >> I have another young one here. I need to know where she's at. A second grandchild is also present in the supermarket, though she doesn't appear to have taken anything. Still, officers suspect she may have been used as a distraction. Her being left alone in the store now becomes a serious concern. Meanwhile, grandma shows little interest in cooperating or resolving the situation quickly, further complicating matters. >> I read you something right now. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can't be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to the presence of an attorney to assist you prior to questioning and to be with you during questioning if you so desire. If you cannot afford an attorney, you have the right to have an attorney appointed for you prior to questioning. Do you understand these rights? >> Do you understand these rights? >> Take doesn't know. >> How old are you? >> Okay. 16. >> How old are you now? >> Okay. >> Back. >> Yeah. >> This is how you set an example for this young lady. Have a seat. Have a seat. Say please. >> I'm not going to say please to you. You disrespected us by trying to resist arrest. >> The detained grandchild is just 16 years old. As a minor, her identity is protected and she may face more lenient consequences under juvenile law. However, her involvement could lead to additional charges for the grandmother specifically contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A serious offense wear and te. >> It's not personal. It's just used to take the understand. >> She took all the >> I did not know that. >> He was right next to you. >> I did not know that though. I was shopping through the store myself trying to get groceries. >> But whoever wrong >> for having that stuff in my purse. >> She just kind of wrapped things up for a second. Okay. >> But I'm just trying like alcohol or anything. >> She was >> I wasn't aware of it. >> She was right behind you. But I wasn't aware of it. I didn't see her. Go ahead and turn just real quick. >> Is there any way we can separate the juvenile here with her back to the camera? >> Yeah, you can separate. Yeah. Okay. >> Just clearly like speak with her cuz it's >> she's grandma's talking. She's talking. >> Yeah, we're okay. We're >> We have a granddaughter. She She has a disability. >> Really get freaked out. You know, officer is with with her right now and she's fine. That first chair is fine. >> Just cuz we have so much talking. >> Shoplifting is already troubling, especially at her age. But using her own granddaughter as an accomplice takes it to an all-time low. Shockingly, her behavior is about to sink even lower. >> Don't know how that got in there. I was going to the store shopping. I have a cart full of food to buy. Okay. >> And they came up to me and said that we had to come in here because there was a possibility of some shoplifting going on. >> I didn't know. I was walking through the store looking at stuff and everything and some points I walked away from my purse. Look at your cameras. >> I don't know how it got in there. >> Okay. And was your purse in that little seat area the whole time or >> It was in the little seat area. Yes. >> Okay. How long would you say that you lost visual of your purse your whole time? >> I don't know. I'm I was looking at stuff trying to see check prices and and and figure out what I was going to get and probably at some points it might have been for a little while but >> Dez was there by my purse so I I don't know. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I mean technically you just dumb and stuff except for what she was doing. I had no clue she was stealing alcohol. I don't even know what that is. Like I said, I don't drink. >> Okay. >> Did you see her at any point except in her purse? >> I did not. >> The granddaughter remains unaware that her own grandmother has just placed the blame entirely on her. But what's even more shocking is that one of the items in the grandmother's possession could link her to a separate crime. As officers wait for the girl's parents to arrive, the questioning intensifies, revealing a deeper, more unsettling truth behind this family shoplifting case. >> Do you have a middle name? >> The Buzz Ball. >> The Buzz Ball. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> No, but do you have a middle name or no? >> Jane. >> What is that? Like a alcohol drink? >> Legal first name. >> Yeah. >> Why you stealing alcohol? You're 16. >> Can you spell it for me? A R M I N R. >> It's okay. Relax. >> Do you have anything else on you right now? >> That's from the store. >> After the 16-year-old granddaughter admitted they were both intentionally shoplifting, the grandmother granddaughter duo was transported to the station. Meanwhile, the younger grandchild, who hadn't been detained, waited alone in the store until her parents finally arrived to pick her up. >> Guys called me. You said my daughter was stealing. My mom being arrested because my daughter was her. >> So, she actually was concealing in a purse as well. So, it was it was separate events at the same time, if that makes sense. So, she had stuff in her purse and then there was stuff in another purse. >> There there there is surveillance of her concealing as well. She admitted to concealing. Okay. I sometimes when I personally me, I'm not trying to make excuses for everybody else. Sometimes when I don't have a cart in my hands, I'll put stuff in my own bag, but I'll pay for it when I get to the counter. >> Yeah. You know, she said she said she was shoplifting and um obviously you can extrapulate from that with grandma. Obviously, I can't talk about that, but you can kind of take it from there, your own imagination about it. Um but so what's going to happen tonight is that she's going to be taking uh taken to Durango, which is downtown. >> Mhm. Um hopefully she'll learn a lesson from that. >> Talking about my daughter. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> So here's the deal though. Even if she was doing what you're saying, which is not too consistent with the norm the average citizen. So >> I'm just saying I have personally done that. >> Right. But when you walk past all points of sale. >> Oh, okay. >> This may have been a miscommunication among officers as the suspects never actually passed the point of sale. When officers spoke with the mother, she appeared completely unaware of the suspect's possible motives for shoplifting. >> Alcohol with her. >> She had a buzz. >> Yeah, that was in her purse. >> I don't know what her intentions were with that. I mean, I'll let you decide that as a mother and how you want to go about discipline if you're going to discipline, but that's all how you want to go about it. But that's what we found. >> Okay. >> But yeah, there's however you want to apparently. >> So, that's all she was taking was alcohol. What else? >> And there was there was some candy. Uh, she said that was for her grandpa. >> But I I Here's the thing. She's with She's with grandma. >> Yeah. >> And obviously it's a loud behavior because again, you can kind of go from there about what was going on with grandma. But I mean that this is this is something that I'm sure you know your mother better than anyone. >> I do. And I don't know why my mom would do that. That's the thing. like she has her social security. She lives with me >> and she doesn't have to pay any of the bills there. >> I mean, she buys food and stuff on her social security to help out, but I mean I may >> at the station both the grandmother and granddaughter were officially charged with shoplifting. Additionally, the grandmother faced an extra charge of resisting arrest due to her uncooperative behavior during the encounter. Even family bonds don't excuse breaking the law. Guiding the young into crime carries serious consequences.
