You want to come over here and uh grab the items so we can People put in long hours to earn an honest living and provide for themselves and their families. Yet, there are always those who think the rules don't apply to them, treating stores like their personal grab-and-go. These so-called professionals quickly find out that their actions come with swift and very real consequences. Stop. Stop it. On July the 3rd, 2025, a woman named Grace is detained at Target after being caught stealing over $1,000 worth of merchandise. She explains she is homeless, had her belongings stolen, and was just trying to survive. >> I'm going to have you sit in the office while I I can take you over that way. Okay. Is this all this stuff? >> It's all of this, yeah. All of this, okay. >> It's a total of 1053.59. 1053? A thousand? Yeah, 1053.59. Jesus. Okay. You got me beat. What's the last one was 700? Hello. What's up? What's up? Uh so, what do we got? Uh pretty much all that. Seen her swipe it. And all this stuff I walked out with okay. Okay. All right. What's your name? Grace. Grace. All right, Grace. What's going on with all this stuff here? I'm really homeless. I tried to walk out just to at least have some [ __ ] to my name and be able to chill out and I don't know. My phone just got broke. My wallet just got stolen. I came from a situation at my boyfriend's house. I tried to go to my mom's house. She ended up having everyone come into my room and steal from me. So, I headed out to Chicago with an old friend. Me and them ended up getting into a fight. So, now I'm here. I'm trying to make ends meet. >> Officers note most items stolen were food, drinks, and supplies consistent with someone living on the streets. Though, the receipt also shows electronics and apparel. PlayStation photocopy ID. I wish I wish I had more to my name to have my wallet be valuable. Honestly. Okay. So, it's a female um down on her luck, had a bunch of stuff stolen her fight and whatever with uh boyfriend. Uh they got a receipt of over $1,000 worth, but it's like a whole bunch of just like food items, drinks, just miscellaneous stuff that would literally be for a homeless person. Looks like a mat, backpack. Uh Police discuss options with Target. Despite the felony amount, the sergeant suggests charging her with only a local ordinance violation, a ticket, given her circumstances and cooperation. >> Got stuff back. Uh just given the circumstances. >> I know. That's what I told him over the phone. Okay. She's cooperative, but obviously up to you guys. I'm just letting you know what what he's suggesting we do. Again, just running everything by you, letting you know what the sergeant says and thinks. You're okay with that? Okay. Do that. I'll see what she says. Uh Got you. Good info. Most everything was like food and like like What all were you buying today? Nothing, as you can see. I mean, it's a lot of It's a lot of things. Yeah, I was going in there to >> apparel, a bunch of electronics. A bunch of electronics? Let me see that real quick. And bring that here because I ain't I ain't touching no mother I'm just I'm just going to try to bring some [ __ ] up in my mother Grace, Grace, don't get loud. All right? No, because at the end of the day Grace, don't get loud. All right? Listen to what he has to say. >> to push authority on to me? >> I'm not pushing authority. >> try to make your voice louder than mine when you try to assert dominance. You don't You're not You're I'm not in your dominion. >> okay? Okay. I'm talking the same tone as I did when I first came in here. Okay? I'm literally reading off this receipt that they have. Everything is categorized. Apparel, electronics, three items, groceries, health and beauty. Home, stationary and office supplies, and toys. Okay? That's all I'm reading to you. I'm just trying to talk to you. All right? I talked to my sergeant. He is more than willing to just charge with a local ordinance. I don't know what y'all are talking about. I'll explain it to you. >> Grace becomes agitated, arguing that without the supplies, she would be vulnerable and possibly end up dead on the streets. She grows defensive and emotional, claiming officers are trying to assert dominance. >> my tone. All right? Suggestion is that you cooperate and continue to because you have so far. And again, with the store's approval and my sergeant's approval, we can just charge you given the circumstances. Homeless, down on your luck. We're not trying to [ __ ] you. Excuse my language. All right? you are. Because if I go on those streets without some of those supplies, guess what's going to happen to me on that CT. I'm going to be snatched up and left in a ditch. And then you're going to be the one discovering my [ __ ] body. How are you going to like that one? Young Grace, slit open in the middle of a [ __ ] ditch. You don't even recognize my face because of how [ __ ] up I am. Cuz that's what happens to young girls. Officers try to cuff her and confirm her ID. Grace protests, saying she wants a female deputy to pat her down, accuses officers of invading her privacy, and repeatedly refuses to cooperate. Okay. we're not going to put them on dead tight. Trust me, okay? I'm going to put them on your left cuz you're right-handed. I'm going to go back to the car and wait for the positive ID based on the picture. Um and then as long as everything's still the same and kosher, I'm going to be okay with that. All right, I'll be back. But do you understand that I'm kind of in the corner and you kind of standing above me, so this is a little bit of an intimidating situation. So, if you could please step step back a little bit, that would make me feel better. >> There's 3 ft between us. >> Well, actually covid distance is 6. Okay, well. So. You're going to have to be in close proximity to me. I might have some ammonia. And you're making me uncomfortable. >> And that's assault. You want to assault an officer? I'm not assaulting nobody because he's coming close he he's Why are you >> I haven't moved. Why can't you stand back there? Would you like me to step back? Please. Okay. I I can ask something All right. All right, Grace, still trying to confirm your identity. All right. How old are you? I'm 25. 25? Okay. All right, so what's going to happen is uh we're going to take you back to the station. We have to fingerprint you to confirm your identity. All right? Are there going to be any issues when we get your fingerprints back? You're not wanted under a different name? What's that? Not counting on it. Not counting on it? Like are you positive or it's it's a maybe? All right, you guys need anything else from us right now? So. Uh just We just got to confirm >> Is there Would you mind patting me down instead of him? I'm a as a female. Okay, then y'all legally can't pat me down. Yeah, we can. No, that's an invasion on my privacy. it's not. I'm a woman. You can touch me, grope me, and hurt me. No, there's multiple witnesses. Cameras are on, all right? I I just I don't necessarily feel comfortable with a grown man's hands on top of me. All right, well, there's a lot of other people present. Obviously, I'm not going to do anything. It would just make me feel more comfortable if you got a female deputy on scene. All right, well, we A struggle breaks out when officers attempt to move her. Grace resists, screams, and accuses officers of assaulting her. She ends up on the ground restrained, claiming injuries to her wrist and face. Stand up. Stand up. You're going to make us make you stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Don't touch me. You're about to grope my [ __ ] DON'T YOU TOUCH NO! STOP IT! STOP IT! [ __ ] HEY, YOU'RE TOUCHING MY BOOB!

I got two grown men on top of me, AS IF I'M A GIRL. YOU ARE HURTING ME! STOP! MY WRIST IS HURTING! >> STOP! You're hurting! You >> Grace curses at officers, threatens them, and continues to struggle. She eventually begins praying loudly for God to strike down these evil men. Medics are called after she sustains a cut on her face. ARE YOU BACK AGAIN TO CHASE ME AGAIN? ARE YOU GOING TO HURT ME? ARE YOU GOING OKAY. ARE YOU GOING to calm down? Are you going to calm down? Are you going to calm down? It's a question. Are you going to calm down? Are you going to calm down?

My heart's under my rib cage. Calm down. We'll grab them. WE'LL GRAB THEM, OKAY? GRACE, BREATHE. TAKE A DEEP BREATH, GRACE. GRACE refuses medical help without a female paramedic, continuing to demand female staff. Officers conclude she should at least face resisting arrest charges. right here. All right. Can you stretch out your legs for me? Thank you. Okay, sit back. It's okay. Here, I'm going to borrow that leg really quick. Just so you can put your legs back. a little bit. Okay.

I need a girl. >> We don't have a female paramedic available. So, where did Who got struck where? Uh didn't really I I don't think I really got struck. She just kind of slammed me backwards. She pushed her legs out and hit the wall. I don't think she really struck me or anything. Yeah, okay. I'm trying to see if we need to charge her. That's what I'm messing with. Yeah. If anything, I'm I would think resisting. I Final outcome. Grace is arrested and charged with felony theft, resisting arrest, and obstruction. Grace faces serious legal trouble. Felony theft can lead to heavy fines, probation, or several years in prison, depending on the value stolen. Stealing out of desperation still leads to serious legal consequences. Staying calm and cooperative can prevent a bad situation from becoming far worse. If you like this video, please sign up for Law Zone to receive more.

You have anything on you at all? I'm sorry, you have a feeding tube. Okay. Do you What's What was your name again? Charity McFarlow. Charity, what vehicle is that? It's my husband Raymond's. Your husband Raymond's. Okay. Charity, as of as of right now, you are being detained based on suspicion of theft. I know that you have your story, but we have to make sure everything's good, okay? You can search everything's good, but I know, I'm just letting you know. And given that, just a little bit. Here you go. given that, I'm just going to read you your rights, okay? Charity repeatedly denies stealing, saying she only reentered Gabe's to look for her wallet, but officers find merchandise with Gabe's tags inside her car. She claims those were old purchases or gifts for her niece and nephew. >> You were her. Then I went back in there looking for my wallet. >> Okay. But you Like I'm saying, here, we'll just stand back just for a second. >> Yeah. I know it I know >> Under suspicion, I mean, I what All this stuff goes to my niece and nephew. >> Okay. Do you have Do you have any way to prove that? Do you have any like Do you have any uh receipts or anything like that for me? Sir, I couldn't have walked out with all this stuff. I mean, I don't know. I don't know if you could or not. I don't know why they would call us. It's mostly all from Five Below. Okay. Well, I mean, there's Gabe's stuff on here, and Gabe's called us. >> stuff that's been in my car that goes to my niece and nephew. Okay. I haven't been able to go over there because of the surgery mishap with the bathroom crash down. What's I'll go over there next to my door and pee. What uh Where's your It's okay. Where's your ID at?

All right, I just It's just weird. They normally don't call us. I know, but I've been in there I went back in there. Maybe they thought I took something. Now, unless he grabbed something, he does have ADHD. Okay. And I have been caught at Target with him leaving with stuff. >> Okay. And I've gotten in trouble for it before. Okay. I didn't take Officers detain Charity on suspicion of theft. She then shifts blame, suggesting her son with ADHD may have grabbed items without her knowing. She admits she had prior incidents at Target involving him. I did. He likes to grab things and take it. >> Oh my god. Um what what's your phone? They had to just see me walking and then walk back out and thinking I've taken something. Okay. Cuz I went out I went back out the ex- exit. Okay. Okay. >> I didn't go out the The main portion? I went out the way you walk in. Okay. Nothing alarmed. Uh not- you know. Okay. One forty, I think I got broken up. I'll re-advise LL if you're ready. The woman attempted to shift responsibility by blaming her young son, stating that his ADHD caused him to grab items without her knowledge. This raises the question, as a parent, would you consider such an explanation acceptable? All right. So, um your driver's license is suspended, but you have driving Officers discover her driver's license is suspended OVI related. Though she had limited driving privileges for errands like prescriptions. Having full driving What are your privileges? I'm on my way to Kroger to get uh Well, I had to stop and get his iPad and then I'm on my Kroger to get my prescriptions. Is that part >> And senior. Yes. Okay. So, she named this like She named that bag candy. She named these two wooden things. Okay. Um she named some other things, but like I said, I What did you need your wallet for? >> Oh, I was just cleaning up so I didn't lose anything. I'll set it back down. >> After pressure, Charity admits to stealing some items that day, including trash cans, baskets, lanterns, and sheets, but insists the clothing came from older purchases. Okay. So, they had you pushing out a cart. Pushing out a cart? >> Uh-huh. I have one more left. >> So, you're just going to be straight with us. I Okay. I had the trash can. Thank you. Okay, what else? But the Gabe stuff, seriously, was for my niece and nephew. >> Okay, what about the The baskets, yes. The baskets and lantern, that's it. Okay. Other stuff. >> That's all I needed to know. >> Yes. They're out there saying there's more stuff. They need another stuff that's in here from That was That was it. The rest I got from Five Below. I had those baskets Is there anything at the Gabe? Anything with a Gabe's? All the clothes were from weeks ago. The only thing I took I'm keeping it straight. Okay, well. The baskets Yep. the trash can >> Yep. the lantern Yep, the lanterns. >> sheets Okay. And the rest is clothes. Everything in Everything else from Five Below.

The only thing today is trash can, the baskets, the lanterns, and the sheets. Okay. The lantern, the trash can, the sheets Uh It just got >> and the baskets. I had it in there. Got you. Appreciate it. Was she in the Was she in the You sent me a picture? I wish you would have been just honest with me from the get-go. That would have been great. >> these? She said that she took this. Those? Yep, and the lanterns and the trash can. They were in the basket and the trash can. I got the clothes. the picture they just sent She contradicts herself multiple times, at points blaming her child, claiming merchandise was from Rent-A-Center, and insisting her car looked messy only because she was searching for her wallet. >> it. I did have the money for it and How come none of this is a theft? She repeatedly altered her account of events at times, blaming her child, the store, or outside circumstances while continuing to contradict herself in front of the officers. What was your suspension originally for? Huh? What was your suspension originally for? OVI. Okay. And I took my classes Okay. I took my classes and he gave me um he took off like $400 off my fine. Okay. And gave me my privileges. Yep. Didn't I explain to you what I had the clothes in? Sure.

There was even my camera on me down the road next to the car wash going through my whole car looking for my wallet. Uh-huh. But that's what the clothes was in. Um and they were supposed to be getting dropped They were supposed to be dropped off yesterday. Okay. But I was supposed to have surgery and it got postponed but that's everything else is from Five Below. Okay. You can You can call them. Um and Why did you shop at Five Below? Yes, I did.

Okay. >> I seen it sitting there exactly where I left it. Okay. So did you take any clothes today at all? Yes or no? Be straight. I did not take any clothes. >> No Charity is charged with retail theft for intentionally stealing about $650 worth of merchandise. She has had at least three prior similar arrests in the last 6 months, involved her child in the incident, and violated her driving restrictions. Stealing not only brings legal trouble, but also damages trust and sets a poor example for children. Honesty from the start could have lessened the consequences, but repeated lies only made things worse. What an unyielding shoplifter. The next shoplifter will react much more violently, so keep an eye out. Hey, get on the ground now. I'm not playing with you, bro. Get on the ground. Drop it, let's go. On December 15th, 2024, police were dispatched to a Target store after a man who had previously been trespassed was spotted inside. When officers arrived, the store manager reported that the suspect had been lingering in the electronic section for roughly 20 minutes. >> The guests complaining about him cuz they were watching him and like eating food over in the ice cream. >> Yeah. And then when I walked up, he had food in his mouth and I told him that he shouldn't be doing that and that he needed to leave. Hey, you guys I know it was you guys that were busy. What's going on? Is there going to be a sale right now? Yeah, it was last week. >> Yeah, it usually gets about this busy kind of closer to Christmas cuz everybody's getting their last minute That's true. What's up, my man? How you doing? Hey, cool. Let me get your hands out of your pockets while I talk to you. Hey, cool. Hey, so the reason I'm contacting you, man, is that you were advised to leave. You never left. Um You told me to leave. Yeah. Who said that? The the the loss prevention officer. After you were done eating your food, you know what I mean? Who said that? >> Hey, hey, just let me talk. Just don't stick your hands in your pockets for me, okay? All right? So, uh so yeah. So, it looks like, you know, She I didn't hear she asked me to leave. Okay, I understand that, but they also Hey, but you also got to understand, man, that you can't be opening the products and eating, right? I understand you if you said you were going to pay for them, but Did you Are you paying for them? Yeah, I did. No, all right. I ate something and then I left out of there then I just came walking over here with the side. Well, I feel you did. Hey, you got an ID with you, man? The suspect claimed he didn't have any ID and ignored the officer's instructions, continuing to browse merchandise as if nothing was wrong. When the officer told him he had to leave, the man instead tried to walk away, escalating the situation. Come with me, dude. Hey. I appreciate it. I'll head out. 66 Bye. Hey, sir. You're walking with me. We're leaving right now. Yeah, I'm leaving. No, we're leaving. You're getting trespassed. Huh? So, I before you leave, I got to get your I got to get your name or you're getting trespassed. Come here. Okay? Mind if I get Just want to take your hands out of your pocket for we talk, okay? So, we're walking out We're walking out to my car. Yeah, we're walking out to my car. Just wait over here. My car's over to the left. No, no, you got to go to my car. Oh, I don't have to go to your car. Who said that? I did. You're under arrest. I didn't You're trespassed. You're trespassed. All right, bro. Hey, you want to do this, too, bro? Well, what you want to do? Suddenly, the man turned combative, squaring up to the officer and challenging him to a fight. The officer, refusing to be intimidated or allow the situation to spiral further, drew his taser from his belt to gain control. >> What you doing? Let's go, bro. Where you going? Get on the ground, bro. Get on the ground now. Radio 3066, you can send me another one. Hey. I'm not going I'm not going to fight with you. Hey, you're not free to go. What's up? You're not free to go. You're going to give me your first name. Sorry, you're trespassed. Hey, get on the ground now. Shut up. I'm not playing with you, bro. Shut up. Get on the ground. What's up with Drop it, let's go. Well, what you want to do? Get on the ground. Get on the ground now. Get on the ground. We're going to be in front of Kohl's. Hey, I said get on the ground. NOW. GET ON THE GROUND. WELL, LET'S PLAY let's face up. 66, we're going to be in here in the parking lot. Let's go. No, get on the ground. Get on the ground now. The man kept ignoring every command, showing no intention of stopping. Recognizing the suspect's defiance, the officer called for backup as the situation escalated. It became clear this wasn't just a simple trespassing case. I'm not playing with you. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND. 66, we'll be walking towards the arcade into our T-Mobile. He's refusing to stop. Once we get a second, we'll go hands-on. Get on the ground. You want to go down? Let's go. Get on the ground now. I'm not playing around, bro. I'm not playing around. Let's go. Let's go. You're all TALKING BRAVE. LET'S GO. COME ON. RIGHT HERE. 66, we'll be walking towards Michael's. Hey, I told you to stop. How many times am I The suspect kept shouting threats as he wandered recklessly into the street, forcing cars to swerve to avoid hitting him. Just as the situation grew more dangerous, backup officers arrived on scene. Backup. Get on the ground now. Go. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. I'm right here. I told you to Get ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. Just sit out. Sit on your butt. Sit on your butt. Yo. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the Ground, bro. I'm on the ground. Go. Dude. Hey. Hold it. Put your hands Dude. They were just asking at least if not uh instruction and my partner did not uh identify himself. Nope. No. You have your license? No. We appreciate you guys coming out. They got the lights on on the radio. It's not scary, but they are not there. He like opened some Pringles. And then just started eating them. Okay. And the beef jerky is right here. So, it's entirely possible that he had already opened it. Um Okay. And I can check. I'll go back over there and look cuz he pretty much like as he was eating, he was just leaving the packages like everywhere. >> The store manager suspected the man was under the influence, which explained his erratic behavior. What could have been a simple situation just leaving the store when asked spiraled out of control. Instead, his refusal to comply and aggressive actions only piled on multiple charges that could have easily been avoided. A bad decision can turn a small problem into a serious one. Refusing to comply only adds more charges and consequences. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. All right, listen. Last time Last time On February 13th, 2023, officers stopped a woman suspected of shoplifting for the third time. She instantly turns the drama dial to max, denies knowing her partner, and flips out when asked about her bag. Ma'am, come with me. Where which one? Come with me. Where's the other one you were with? Who? The other woman you were with? Nobody is with me. You're by yourself? Yeah. Okay, come on. Come on, come inside with me. There's one more inside. All right, stay here. What did you take?

We ain't calling the family line, my brother. You think we on your time? You crazy. Okay, first of all, you didn't tell me why I'm being uh put in handcuffs. I'm about to take it right out of your book bag in a second, homeboy. That's why you're getting me. Damn. That's why you're getting jammed up. Damn. Oh, man. Okay, you want some gloves, dude? I could have given you that. I had that in my in my trunk. You could have asked me. Okay, look. You're crazy. That's it, man. Bunch of gloves from Home Depot. You're wild. Stop. That's it? That's it? Where's your ID at? Sit up. I can't buy why I'm not being questioned. You must be out of your mind. I don't think you understand how things work. You watch too much YouTube and it's going to get you messed up. This cop clearly has a sense of humor after all. It's not every day you see a shoplifter make off with a pile of gloves. You can almost see him wondering why so many. Maybe the suspect wasn't even after anything valuable. Maybe he was just stealing for the thrill of it, not for something actually worth the risk. I I know you smell that, dog. Come on, man. Oh, I smell it, too. Can you Can somebody let me know what's going on cuz y'all already know You're going to jail. Okay. >> That's what's going on. Okay? Damn. Bro, look How long I've been doing that, bro? Bro, same same way you communicate. That That's it, man. Same way you just No, it's not the same because I don't have to like I tried to communicate with you earlier and you were like, "One second." You couldn't even understand to put your hand behind your back. I had to sit there and wrestle with you. Cuz I told you it was coming out. Can you roll down the windows or two, bro? Can you roll down the window? Bro, stop, bro. My foot, man. I'm on the door. I'm going to hook it. Rolling down the windows was probably a smart move, especially for the poor officer driving the cruiser because that smell had to be rough. Maybe the guy stole all those gloves to use while cleaning himself up, but that just raises an even weirder question. How often does he find himself in that kind of situation to need six packs of gloves? Watch out, Louis, for some misdemeanor, all right? Is your Hello. Huh? The lawyer he is sorry, sir. He said He said, "Can we ask you to leave?" The only criminal trespass him. Uh yeah, we're going to criminal trespass. I'm sure they will. Um He's going to get charged with the same criminal charge. He don't want to go to jail. It's It's not really It's not really a Huh? He asked for it. Yeah, instead of instead of a a charge but it's it's really it's a shoplifting charge. We're not looking at a shoplifting Jail wanted him. Jail wanted shoplifting charges like that and he wanted to try to play games Make it a state charge. Not a city charge. Yeah, I rolled out on him and he's like, "Why am I being questioned?" I'm like, "Boy, get on the ground." You know, but Danny, look. All you How old are you? 24? Bro, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm 21. You're 2 years older than me. We got our whole damn lives to live, you feel me? I don't want you to beat yourself up, man. It's a shoplifting case. You got trouble stuff like that, you got years to change it, man. I've seen people drop Man, this little shoplifting you can By the time you get old, this will probably be acquitted if you try hard enough, you know what I mean? That's how young you is, man. Don't let this [ __ ] beat you up. What happened? What did you tense up when you was fighting with them or No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was trying to I was trying to warn bro like the the was coming. Yeah, I don't know if he smelled it. Yeah. He smelled it, bro. Yeah. He wouldn't let me clinch my butt cheeks. He was trying to get out. I'm like, "Bro, give me a second." It was surprisingly kind of the officer to offer the young man some encouragement and advice, especially during such a stressful moment. Unfortunately for the not-so-bright shoplifter, his poor choices earned him a charge of theft by shoplifting and a spot behind bars at Cal County Jail on Christmas Eve. Even small crimes can lead to big consequences like spending the holidays in jail. Think before you steal, the price might be more than you bargained for.
