Is there any reason why there'd be liquor in your face? >> No, I have a coffee. >> Going down. >> You're not You're not welcome in my house. It might be a big scene in front of my daughter. Okay. >> Okay. So, it was in my car and I guess it had fallen out. >> In today's economy, everyone's feeling the squeeze prices are climbing, taxes are rising, and it's getting harder just to make ends meet. But no matter how tough things get, that's never an excuse to break the law. There's nothing quite as satisfying as watching these not so bright criminals realize their little scheme just came crashing down. [Music] On May 4th, 2025, police were called to a Walmart in Ohio after a woman named Abigail was caught shoplifting items, mainly hair dye, intending to resell them for profit. >> What up, boss? >> What's going on? >> Oh, you know, same [ __ ] different day. >> I hear that. >> Yeah. >> Hi. >> So, what we got? She's opened up hair dye, concealed in her purse, went on in the grocery and then once she passed the last point, we stopped her and um Montana stayed with us, offered to show us inside her purse, but uh she concealed alone. So, I don't know what they were doing before, but she did not want to stop, >> continue to go, but her case worker here was like, I'll go get her and bring her back. >> We are at ACM. We are in recovery. Yeah. >> And she does have all of the stuff, right? >> She is willing to give it back. >> Yeah. So after she decides to leave and fails to stop the loss prevention, they want >> what >> they want charge pursuit at this point. So >> Abigail admitted to stealing and claimed she was influenced by another woman named Montana whom she had only known for one night. >> You have an ID on you, ma'am? >> Yeah. >> What was the point about stealing uh the hair influence? >> What's that? >> I was influenced. >> Okay. Like peer pressure influence. Okay. With people you're with? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is that person still here? >> Okay. >> But it don't matter cuz I'm the one that did it. >> True. >> That's the secret. >> It's not a secret. >> How long have you known how long you know her one night? And he was like shopping or whatever. And I'm like that's the secret shop. Is your name Abigail or Abby? >> Abigail. >> All right, >> Alyssa. Okay, >> they'll probably put you in this >> Cassie, you ready to go to the lost office? >> All right, we're going to walk up to the lost office. >> Yeah. >> I love you. Can I hug her? Hug her. Sure. Go for it. I love you. All right. Thanks. >> All right. >> Yeah, absolutely. I'd rather not like everybody, but just one other person, please. >> Okay. >> We're just going to cut up like the front of the store and cut on the other side here. I get this handle real quick. >> Um, how long have you been at the recovery place? Um, >> Abigail told officers she had no money and was staying at a recovery facility trying to get clean and start over. Montana allegedly offered to pay her for stealing the items. >> All right. >> I came from the date >> cuz I needed to get out of the area. >> So, I know you were saying you were influenced to take these items by Montana. >> I don't have any money. >> Yeah. She also just pays >> to get this stuff. >> To get this stuff >> to get this stuff. >> Well, I would. >> Yeah. I I wouldn't uh find yourself in Walmart again or any other place, don't do that. That's silly. >> Have you ever been charged with theft before? >> Yeah. Like a long time ago. >> Yeah. >> Is that like the Dayton area where where you from or >> I'm not even from I lived in Ohio for 2 years. I came from Wyoming. Oh, okay. >> Like I lived in Florida for 20 years. >> Store employees described how Abigail removed merchandise from boxes in various aisles before concealing them and attempting to leave without paying. >> Gotcha. >> I only lived in Wyoming for 2 years. >> Then what was what was the deal? Just taking the stuff out of the packages, concealing them in the purse. >> Yes, sir. She's over in the shoe aisle and um put boxes in, open them up, dump stuff out, empty box on the shelf. Me and Justin observed that and then he went to double check the boxes were empty while I continued the observation. >> They went over to cosmetics, looked at a few things, cut through the middle, went into um crafts, looked at some stuff there, cut over in the grocery produce, went like they were going to register, but then turn around and came back and went out the door. So then I uh stopped them after they passed the last point of sale and um which I understand. I'm not looking at you any different. I get got a lot going on. But she did tell got in the car. Luckily she seen a commotion and I was like she's stuff. >> She's like I'll be right back with her. >> Went and got her and she >> Okay. >> Now we're here. Justin coming out. >> Um, is there a chance that you're possibly pregnant? Is there a chance you're 6 weeks postpartum? >> Okay. So, I need you to stand up for me and then face the wall. Place your hands behind your back. Palms together like you're praying. [Music] going to try and sort of fix these. I know you got some stuff on your wrist here. Trying to make them so they're not going to pinch into your wrist bones as much. >> Is that sort of okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Officers arrested Abigail and reminded her that peer pressure led her into trouble. They also discovered that Montana had a history of theft and likely used Abigail to commit the crime. >> Learn. I would definitely avoid peer pressure. >> You know, I get it. You know, you got to get ahead of it. I wish, you know, wish you would have said something to me. I would have nothing. But >> I was just trying to make some money. >> Mhm. >> How long has Montana been in the program? >> They both just got here >> this week. >> Yeah. I know everybody has passed, but she can be, you know, influential and and she's she's definitely been stealing some things before. So, >> yeah, >> I know you don't have any funds, but I would avoid doing this because now now you're going to jail. She's not. >> Mhm. >> So, and she probably knew what she was doing to make you do it because she already has a history of it. So, she's trying to avoid your fate. But >> now you're doing like I said, I got there not that long ago and she ran across me. Justin got her. I mean, >> then why was she back in here? >> Well, I don't even know >> cuz she got away. >> You canon. >> I don't know if the last one was filed on her or not. >> That's an identity thing. That's the point. >> So, >> yeah. >> Yeah. >> He's going to check too. I know she's in there for something. >> Oh, honestly. >> Yes. I It's just unfortunate that you're the guinea pig of this. I know mine were he put one up. >> I was going to say you might be able to uh log in under my stuff and pull up my events, but um we'll um also if you want I don't know if you're going to go out and talk to them or whatever. >> If you want to just go ahead and let Montana know that she's barred going forward if it's not already. >> Okay. >> Um we're going to double check real quick. Does she have a hand in this? >> Can she try to get you to do this? >> After we look this up, can I don you for a second? >> Thank you. >> I promise I won't be as annoying about it. >> Okay. >> It's a ruse. >> Yeah. >> It it we had a jewelry theft and it turned out that uh we had a guy that threw the scooter over the fence. M >> I went to backtrack it. Two more guys did it the day before. Some guys broke into our jewelry case and they've they're recognizable now. >> Okay. All right, Abigail. Sorry you're still in handcuffs. We'll try and get this shower. Want to stand out. >> Police confirmed Montana was already banned from Walmart and had pressured Abigail despite being prohibited from entering the store. by the office. >> All right. [Applause] [Music] >> Up wasn't allowed in here. >> Yep. And still pressured you into doing that. Yeah, >> I know you're in a rough place as far as you brand new people, brand new place. Just be careful who you, you know, associate with. >> I just have no family here. My dad's >> Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. >> I ain't got no money. >> I really feel bad for you. Honestly, I do. You just got guinea pigged into this whole >> I'm probation. >> Yeah, this whole messed up thing. What are you on probation for? >> Possession. >> Gotcha. When are you supposed to be off of that probation? >> I was supposed to be off of March really, >> but I up. >> Yeah. >> Who revealed she was on probation, was charged with retail theft. Officers expressed sympathy, hoping this would be a turning point in her life and a lesson to avoid bad influences in the future. Bad company can destroy good intentions. Choose your influences wisely. Quick money often costs more than it's worth. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. >> Or just this one. >> This one. >> Okay. So, you can't come back to Lombard Jewel, right? >> I'll never step foot in the store. >> So, they probably don't care. >> I'm uh waiting for my >> On June 6th, 2025, Lombard police responded to a report of a husband and wife caught shoplifting at a jewel store. The loss prevention officer obtained their license plate after they fled toward their vehicle. I know, but I I just don't want you guys to like I still need to read rights and stuff.

I'll come. >> The officer insisted both husband and wife must return together so he could officially trespass them from the store. The husband tried to take full blame, but police refused, stating both needed to be identified. >> Come back and I'll pay you guys for it. >> Okay. You just mind you and your wife coming back here? Just apologize to loss prevention. Bring the stuff with you. Okay. >> All of it. >> All of it. >> Yeah. My My wife is watching my kids.

So, like, you know, together. All right. We We can't just do that. >> I don't want my wife involved. I'll take all the blame. >> The husband returned to the store, apologized, and brought the items back. The officer escorted him to meet with loss prevention staff to discuss the situation further. >> To come, I'll call her and tell her to come. >> Okay, sounds good. All right. >> Oh, you were waiting for me? Okay. You're >> I believe your stuff over there cuz I didn't want to walk out. >> You're dumb, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I apologize, man. >> It's all right. Yo, where's the stuff at? >> I gave it to the lady. >> Yeah, let's go. >> I didn't want to walk out twice. You know what I mean? Like I said, >> I got the stuff. It's right there. The bag you want me to take? Well, I'm going to take it to the back over here. All right. I paid for the down more than willing to pay for it. >> We'll go to the back. All right. We'll go talk to the lost guy. It's my job, right? I appreciate you coming. All right. The lost prevention officer confronted him, saying both he and his wife were seen stealing and that the theft involved more than a couple items. >> No that it's that's it. >> Is this the is it put in the bag? >> Just have a seat. I don't >> put in the bag. I'll pay for it. I got no problem. >> Well, it's too late to pay for it now. So, it was it was an honest mistake. >> What was that? Is that the >> think that's what it is? Okay. Right. Okay. Listen to me right now. The officer described surveillance footage showing the couple coordinating the theft. The wife distracted staff while the husband concealed items in a lavender bag and pretended to pay only for coffee before leaving the store. >> Then you turned and went down the frozen food aisle and both you are looking at each other while he was throwing [ __ ] in this bag and you walk toward the registers. I'm behind you. You She goes first to look behind you. >> No, no, no. It's everything. >> Just get them talking and then you can have your say, right? We walk toward the service desk. You look like you were going to walk through with her. You stop. You look toward the jewel exit. You came back. She comes in in here pretending to pay for the Neutrogena wipes that she voided out. You were looking back. Then you obviously spot me cuz you walked by me and said, "Watching me." Okay. Then you went by, you walked by a couple. Then you came back again. I was standing in the aisle watching you. >> And in on video, you come in with the with the lavender bag in one hand. You switch it to the other. You put it down so my cashier can't see it. Then you put it on the floor. You kick it towards the payment thing. You paid for your coffee. You said whatever you said to her. Then as she gave you the bag, you bent down. You grabbed this and you walked out the door. I went out in the parking lot. You saw me. I said, "My man, it would have been >> just let just let him talk." >> If you would have just gave my [ __ ] back. So you saw me because you backed out and then don't tell me you didn't see me. You're looking right at me. >> I know who you were. >> I'm standing there. I'm walking out. I'm like, "My man, people in the in the parking lot." And I'm like, "Okay, so you're backing out and then you went the other way, the opposite way, got the license plate number, and that's is where we're at right now. I'm I'm back here. I believe me." >> The husband continued insisting it was an honest mistake, claiming stress and confusion. He repeatedly apologized and said he'd never return to the store. >> You want me to pay for it? >> Okay. Uh, you know, I still need to figure out who your wife is. >> I'll take the whole point. It is. >> Well, they need to verbally trespass her. So, >> all right. >> I I got to identify her cuz she's she was acting in concert with you. >> You were basically the lookout most of the time and I held the stuff for her and it was an honest mistake. I paid for the coffee. I didn't walk out with that. It was honest mistake. I got a lot going on in my mind. I'm sorry. >> Okay, >> that's it. If you want me to pay for it, I'm more than willing to pay for it. If you don't want me to pay for it, I won't pay for it. There's more stuff here. >> There isn't. There isn't. >> I'm not I'm not that I I don't need that stuff. >> You know what I mean? My It was an honest mistake. I'll pay for it if you want me to pay for it. I'll never come back here again. I don't even >> I stopped here to get coffee that was in my wife and picked up a couple things and I forgot. >> After being verbally trespassed from the jewel store, the husband was arrested for retail theft and handcuffed. Officers then learned from Addison police that his wife had also been located and detained. >> Yeah. I apologize. >> But yeah, you're verbally trespass. So if you step back here and it's for all jewels, right? >> Or just this one. >> This one. >> Okay. So you can't come back to Lombard Jewel, right? >> I'll never step foot in the stores. >> So Addison, they probably don't care. >> I'm uh waiting for my partner to get here. >> I apologize, sir. I really do. And and if you were walking out, I I didn't know who you were. again. I >> You walked by me and said, "You're watching me. You said that to me. You You said you you said watching me." And I'm like, "Okay, well, maybe he's going to He knows. You didn't. Okay. I'm I'm making [ __ ] up now." So, >> I think I did. So, again, I apologize for what what happened. >> You got >> I mean, it's hard for me to hide. You know what I mean? But I think again, I'm standing there. I had the toilet paper in my hand. You guys were talking about a game that was going to cost more, right? I was in your conversation. was the game's going to cost more or something. There was something you were talking about a game. Uh, I don't know. >> Police took Nicole Domenolman, the wife, into custody. She was cooperative but visibly frightened. Claiming she had never been arrested before, officers reassured her that the process only involved paperwork and a court date. >> The kids are with her. >> Yeah. All right, we'll go this way. Can we go through there? All right. All right. [Music] >> You're this guy's wife, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I haven't Miranda is you. So, don't answer any other questions about what happened. But I'm going to place you in my custody for retail theft. You're going to come back to our station and we're going to go from there. >> Sounds good. Do you guys have your information? Yeah. >> Already sent her uh contact info over to um kids are being watched >> right here. Do you have a phone? >> I do. >> I'll take your phone. >> You want it? >> Uh yes. You guys just as busy as us. >> Oh. >> Oh. Always. >> It's unreal. >> Okay. Do you mind turning around for me, please? All right. >> All yours. >> Uh, when you guys locate her, you find any merch on her? >> No. >> No, there's nothing on her. She said her phone. >> Okay. All right. Come on. Let's go to my car. >> Clear. >> Sorry. I've never been arrested before, so >> you're safe. Worst thing that's going to happen is you get paperwork in the court. >> Okay, I have kids. I just want to go home. This is very scary. It's over. >> Don't be scared. I know it feels scary cuz you're right now, but >> I promise you I will protect you. >> How does it feel so much? >> It's okay to leave. It's just going to be paperwork. That's it. Okay. >> This is just >> This is just for my safety. >> Okay. >> Both Michael and Nicole Domen were charged with retail theft. The video closes by asking viewers for their opinions on the case.

On March 30th, 2024, police were called to a Walmart after security reported a woman attempting to steal two carts full of merchandise. When officers arrived, they found her at the store's exit, caught red-handed with the stolen goods. >> Prevention just called us. They said that you uh didn't pay for all your items. Do you have your receipt, >> bro? I just showed him my receipt on my phone, and my phone died. >> You just showed him the receipt on your phone? Yes, I just showed that my receipt >> and he let me out and my phone died. I said I paid for my receipt. I showed him the day. It's a mo It's a mobile uh Walmart thing.

But if if I paid online, how am I supposed to go to the to the cashier and all that? >> You're not letting me talk. There is a very good camera system. >> Like, I'm confused. The suspect claimed she didn't have her ID on her and insisted that despite what the cameras showed she had paid for everything using her phone, which conveniently had a dead battery store. Make sure everything >> at this point you say this, bro. I'm not about to keep doing it. >> Did you pay for it? >> At this point, y'all can keep this, bro.

So, just hang tight. You want to go get the LPO? >> I'm not about to >> The suspect seemed more than willing to walk away and leave behind the items she claimed to have purchased. But officers made it clear she wasn't free to leave. When she ignored their commands, the situation escalated fast. >> Arrest. Do you want to be placed under arrest? >> Can you Why you touch? >> Why you touching me? >> Stand here. You be placed under arrest. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. You're under arrest. >> You're under arrest. >> You're under arrest. >> I'm a I hope you know that. So up. >> Thank you. What are you talking about? For what? That was embarrassing, >> bro.

We'll stay here. We'll stay here on that. >> Stop. >> The suspect began shouting that she couldn't breathe and that the officers were hurting her. In truth, she was violently resisting arrest, kicking at the officers as they tried to restrain her. >> I'm about to call mama cuz I'm wild. >> You're not going anywhere. >> You get my order, officer. >> [ __ ] yeah. The officer, >> bro, get the off. >> Turn around. Make it easy. >> I'm about to spit again. >> Oh, I can't feel my arm. >> Turn around. >> Get off. Put your hands. >> Turn around.

Put your hands behind your back. >> Y'all go. Bro, can you get off my arms? I can't feel my blood. Like, come on. Bro, I can't feel my arm. >> Despite her continued resistance, officers managed to get the suspect in handcuffs. When she demanded to know why she was being arrested, they reminded her that she had ignored their lawful orders to stop three separate times. Yep. >> I don't give a about my little charge. Suck my How about that? >> Turn around. >> Charge that. >> Turn around. >> The Just told you I was a girl. Just told you I was a girl. >> Proceeded to do dumb. >> The Told you I was a girl. Y still ain't sitting not one girl. Cop. You can get off my stuff. >> Cop. >> All right. So, tell me where I'm >> Well, you ditch assault to the cop by kicking him. >> I don't give a number one. The officers patiently reiterated why she was being detained, but instead of cooperating, the suspect lashed out with a stream of insults. >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] got a booger on me from >> You available for searching? >> Oh, now y'all wanted somebody to search me, huh? >> Yeah.

The suspect displayed blatant arrogance, mocking the officers and even calling them dummies. When that approach failed, she switched tactics. >> Just because I've been saying I was a girl, you had your whole >> Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you get treated any differently. >> Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you get treated any differently. >> Woman come and do this or >> if you're resisting, you get treated the same exact way until your little girl >> until your resistance ceases.

Y'all not doing make tighter. >> The officers remained calm and professional, refusing to be drawn into the suspect's provocations. The female officer tasked with conducting the search had to endure the suspect's constant ranting. >> Serious though, is making me very uncomfortable. >> Comfortable. >> Very uncomfortable. You keep you keep touching the same areas. That's nothing but my drawers. That's nothing but my drawers, miss. I'm telling you that's nothing but my draws. >> Okay, I can figure it out.

You touch the same area. Damn. the lights down. >> The officers managed to get the suspect into the patrol car, but even then, she continued to resist twisting and pulling away as they tried to secure her seat belt in the back seat, refusing to make things any easier for them. >> My shoes. I don't need no seat belt. Can I have my shoes? Can I have my shoes? >> They'll be with you. >> Can I have my shoes? >> Yeah. You good? >> I'm good. [Music] >> She just unseeped it. Felt it herself.

So, you're going to keep doing that for nothing. >> The >> sit back, please. >> Can you stop, bro? Do I like your kid? My >> during the ride to the station. The suspect kept up her defiant attitude, rambling incoherently and hurling remarks at the officer as they neared the jail. Her behavior grew increasingly erratic. >> Listen to what you just said. >> Listen to what you just said. >> 236. >> Transporting one adult female in custody from Walmart to headquarters. Starting mileage 91206. >> Look what you just said. You just said yes. You sound like a I hope you really know that. Just said yes. You was the only person over here. So it got to be you. Damn. God was the only person on this earth. So he he so he just put this on here. >> What are you just making stuff up right now?

But you >> She was ultimately charged with shoplifting, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of law enforcement, and resisting arrest. No amount of arguing or resisting can undo a crime. Respecting the law and the officers enforcing it is always the wiser choice. What an unyielding shoplifter. The next shoplifter will react much more violently, so keep an eye out. Is there any reason why there'd be liquor in your pants? >> No, I have a going down. >> On July 16th, 2024, in the market district of Kyhoga Falls, Ohio, a woman decided pants were the perfect hiding spot for liquor bottles.

I just moved it over because she won't put the park right there. And I told her, "Don't park right there." And then I called her and said, "Hey, the police here car." >> Yeah. And they said I said, "The police here and you might want to move." Then she like, "Just move it over there." And I was like, "All right." And then I called her and said, "Where you at?" And then she started call and I asked the officers what happened. Okay. >> Let me ask you something. Is she on any type of drugs or anything like that that you know of? >> No, I don't know of anything that she's on right now. >> Did she ever use any type of drugs or anything? >> I'm not sure. >> You're not sure?

Stealing and resisting arrest only lead to more charges and trouble. Cooperate with authorities to avoid making a bad situation worse. All right, let's move to this next case where things might get even messier. >> Okay, so it was in my car and I guess it had fallen out and I didn't realize when I got out. On March 11th, 2024, detectives in Florida rushed to a local lottery office after getting a tip about a couple trying to cash in a fake $1 million ticket. With that kind of money on the line, there was no way the cops were letting them walk away. >> I said, "We're we're here about the ticket. There is a problem with your ticket." >> Okay. >> So, I want to talk to you about it. All right. So, she's going to tell you a few things and I'll get back to you. >> Um, hang on one second. Okay. So currently at this moment because this is an investigation in reference to the ticket, you are not free to leave. >> Okay? >> So we're going to talk about it, but in order to I'm going to read you your rights just so that you understand them and then we can talk about it. Okay? Okay. So before we ask you any questions, you must understand your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used as evidence against you in court. You have the right to have a lawyer present while being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, a lawyer will be appointed for you without cost before questioning. If you wish to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you will still have the right to stop answering questions at any time. Do you understand that? >> Okay. Spell your first name for me. >> K I R A. >> Okay. You would just sign right there next to your name, please. Okay, that's fine. Okay, thank you. >> Sure. You know that's just for now. >> Oh, yeah. >> We want to talk to you about the >> It must have been tough for these detectives to keep a straight face as the woman fumbled through her act, pretending she had no clue what was happening. You don't need to be a casting director to spot a bad actor and her performance was painfully bad. >> According to this lady, >> I'm going to share it. We're going to split it half and half. >> Is that the guy offer? Mhm. >> What is his name? >> Dakota. when you came here was the other day which was first I I assume right? >> They had you fill out some paperwork. >> Yes. I I filled out multiple papers. >> Okay. >> So if I show you a document that has your signature, will you confirm if it is or is not your signature? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. And there's a second document that they ask you to fill out voluntary. It's called a security affidavit. And on the back, say your signature. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> I was like, where's it at? >> Yeah. I'm sorry. >> My name, >> right? And so I You have the ticket right here. This is the ticket. I'm not going to let you touch it, but does it look like it? >> Yes. >> Is that your name on the back there? >> Yes, it is. >> Did you put your name on there? >> I did. >> Okay. >> In the office here. >> Here. Yes. Okay. >> So, let me ask you, how how did the ticket get ripped? Okay. So, it was in my car and I guess it had fallen out and I didn't realize when I got out and it was in the rain and I seen it the next day and I was like, "Oh my god." And I tried to scratch it before it was dry and it just was falling. >> Her story might have been well rehearsed, but it was obvious the detectives weren't buying a word of it. The ticket itself was a dead giveaway ripped in half and clumsily taped back together. And after hearing her dodge responsibility long enough, the detectives decided it was time to lay their cards on the table. >> The reason we're here is the ticket. The problem with the ticket is there's security controls inside the ticket. >> Okay. >> And what the security controls tell me, well, also what the ticket number tells me is this is two separate tickets together. >> Is it? >> Right. And what it actually is is a non-winning ticket. >> Go figure. >> Made into a million dollar ticket. >> What? >> No. I'll tell you how you can see that. Right. They don't go together. >> No. Right here, this is the ticket number. You see that number 019? >> That's a 08. >> I'm sorry. 018. >> Yeah. >> Right. If you look at the bottom, this is the ticket number. >> That's what I was wondering. And I was like, why does that not match? >> Right. >> And I was like, I thought that's what it meant if you win. >> No. >> Oh, I didn't know that. >> So, did you take this together after you saw that? >> Yeah. After I saw that it was winning, but then I saw the number. I was looking at the numbers and I was like, that's not match. Huh? >> That's odd. >> Did you tell anyone at the front like why is this so weird? Why would you >> No, I didn't even think about that. >> So, when it was weird, you just went there. >> I just thought it was That's what a winning ticket was like. >> I don't know. >> She might have believed her performance deserved an Oscar, but the detectives weren't handing out awards. Instead, they were about to hand her a reality check, and things were about to get very bad for this D-list actress. >> About the back part. >> Mhm. So, you see on the back part right here where the weights fit together, see how the words don't even match up? Did you notice that? >> I did not. >> They do though. Installments and installments. I just didn't think it right. It does if you >> But no, I did not know. But to me, it matches up. >> Yeah, it actually does. It's from two Look, the rips are different. I mean, to me, it looks like it. >> I got you. So, >> I don't see how it's different. >> So, the ticket's problematic for you. >> And the reason why it's problematic is because you signed some documents that said this ticket's mine under penalty of perjury and under penalty of fraud, >> right? >> The ticket's not altered. Tickets not >> I just stuck it back together. I didn't know. >> Well, you have to understand the position we're in. You're saying you honestly did that. >> I did. I mean, I just stuck it back together. I thought they went together. >> So, what's the probability of two tickets getting ripped? >> That's what I'm saying. I think I'm pretty sure that >> if she had any sense at all, she would have stopped talking and asked for a lawyer. But instead, she kept digging her own grave while the cops armed with forensic evidence kept pressing until the truth finally slipped out. >> Filled out a check before. >> Filled out a check. >> Yeah. Or got a check >> like written one. Yeah. Yeah. >> Without a paycheck. You got a paycheck before, right? >> Yeah. So if you imagine if somebody mistakenly put two pieces of two different checks together. >> I can see that looking really bad. Yes. >> I understand that people intentionally do that. >> Right. >> I would never intentionally do that. I know that's not allowed. You don't do that. >> You have two pieces of paper like this. Right. >> Okay. Would your paper and paper >> would your medication anything you take or partake in? I don't think it would make a difference on >> But would it That's what I'm asking you. Would it alter your brain in any way to make you think that this right here was a good match? >> I mean, I would I would think the same way. Like, if it matched up and it lined up, I'd be like, "That's not the right size of a piece of paper." >> Well, you know, like, but if it really like the first what happened before, like >> Well, let me let me ask you. >> That's like I thought it really compared to what she just talked about, right? >> Right. This when it's taped together is not the right size of a lottery tape. >> I did not realize that. I did not know that. >> Somebody cut the top. >> I did cut the tape. >> Well, but you you can imagine. Look at this barcode. >> Right. >> The distance >> I thought that's how it came off the roll cuz look on the bottom. >> The distance on the barcode is higher. >> I didn't I didn't know that. >> Okay. Did you cut that top? >> I I did pet the top. >> At this point, there was nothing left to convince this clueless thief. Detectives already had all the evidence and they laid it out for her like seasoned lawyers presenting their case to a judge. >> Insult you and say you're dumb. >> I would never. >> But usually this indicates intent to do fraud. >> I I I mean I see that but I would not. There was no intent to do anything but put the two together and keep it safe. >> Why tape the top? >> I just tape the whole thing. >> Why tape the whole thing? >> I don't know. I just tape the whole thing. Gotcha. >> Okay. I just wanted to keep the whole ticket intact. >> But when you tape the whole ticket intact >> the middle where it's really ripped is not taped well at all. >> I know split. >> I see that. It's >> so you take the top better than the split. >> I know. >> Why do that? >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> That's weird. I don't know. I I see where I don't know. I >> I'm just asking for the truth. >> I'm telling you the truth. >> Okay. Okay, will you raise your right hand? You swear and confirm everything you told us today. True to the best of your knowledge. >> With her act finally over and not a soul believing her claims of innocence, she and her boyfriend were slapped with a hefty list of charges, including forgery lottery fraud and grand theft over $100,000. Safe to say their lucky day ended without a jackpot. She was charged with forgery lottery fraud and grand theft of more than $100,000, proving this was one jackpot she definitely didn't win. >> Can you do two is my my ring? >> Officers respond to Neiman Marcus after a woman conceals a Tory Burch handbag $448 in a shopping bag and exits without paying. >> Call 397. >> Hello.

Have you been prosecuted? >> Have you ever been convicted? >> Suspect admits prior theft, conviction as discussed as one time versus two or three times. Officers await partner arrival to complete paperwork and decide disposition. How many times? >> What? >> Like two or three times. >> You been convicted two or three times? >> One time. >> For one time. Okay. >> That was for a theft. >> For theft. >> Pettyft. >> Petty theft.

But >> I have everything right here. >> You're going to take it? >> 100%. >> We need to go to jail. >> Okay. >> How you doing, ma'am? >> Um, so I I kind of want to get your side since we're taking the report here.
