HOW Y'ALL LET THEM PUSH ON Y'ALL? GIVE ME THE Officers have seen a lot. But inside this house, even they couldn't believe the conditions and knew right away something was seriously wrong. I knew about the door before this. So, you're going to be riding with us? This is when hero cops couldn't believe the conditions inside this house. Here is Law Zone, where features real police body cam footage documenting how officers handle tense and unpredictable situations as they happen.

He needs his mama. I will never >> [music] >> On April 27th, 2024, officers responded to a residence following a reported domestic disturbance between a grandfather and his adult granddaughter. I knew about the door before this. Does he have any swelling or redness or anything like that? It's hard to tell. It looks like it could be red, but he's also got like that sun-kissed skin. It's all wrinkly. But it looks like he's got a little redness under his left eye. It's domestic anyways. Grandfather, does she you here with him? She does. And and it's a grandfather granddaughter, so blood relation-ish. Officers gather background information, learning she recently moved back into the home with her infant and has been experiencing ongoing tension with the grandparents. Yes. You could like you could articulate that. Yeah. She just admitted that she straight smacked him in the face when he was talking to her. Like right before you walked up. Really? She was crying in the bedroom. He walked up to ask her what she was crying about. She got upset, got up. She's also bipolar. So she got up, it like set her off and she walked up to him, told him to leave him alone and smacked him across the face with an open palm. He said, "You know what? I'm going to call the cops." Turned around and left. She then said when she came out that that's pretty much what happened, but he was in the doorway mocking her and she got mad, so it escalated, she got up and smacked him in the face. And then he walked away. And that's her baby? That's her baby. And she's not willing to leave the baby with him or leave it or where's baby daddy or anything like that? I I think baby daddy's in Palmetto. We asked when she walked out of the bedroom she walked out of the bedroom we were talking to them and we're like, "Hey, do you mind leaving the baby with them? Like can they hold the baby?" And she was like, "I'd rather not." Who's The grandfather explains that earlier in the day there was a verbal conflict. Later, he approached her bedroom after hearing her crying and asked what was wrong. So grandfather >> Grandparents, yeah, grandfather. And grandmother? Did grandmother see anything? Yes. I'm going to re-interview them cuz I'm going to take this, it's in my zone. So I'm going to re-interview them briefly. Can you do me a big favor? Can you get two sworn affidavits? Just in case. And let me go talk to them. Yeah, I'll pull the case number and get the domestic rights packet. Yeah. You know, the other dog is fine. What other dog? We're trying to get rid of all It's okay.

Well, I don't mind that you guys are together and everything, but I'm going to talk to him and kind of get his side of the story. And then did you see anything that happened? >> According to the grandfather, she responded by telling him to leave and then struck him in the face with an open hand. He left the area and called 911. No. You did not see anything? >> No. Okay. >> in the other room. All right, Mr. Donald, what why are we here? What happened? Both of us heard crying in the room, which is not abnormal.

You heard crying in the bedroom in her bedroom or She was crying in her bedroom. She's on the computer with her with her earmuffs on and she's in there crying. And [snorts] my wife, Kelly, said, "Oh, she must be talking to Jorge." That's the father of that child. >> Okay. Okay. And I said, "Oh, well, that's that's normal. You know, it's normal. She's in there crying." So, I walked into the bedroom. It's pretty much pitch dark. There's no lights. And I said, "What's going on?" That's all I said. So, what's going on? >> in the bedroom? I did. Right to the door. Right to just to the door. But, did you actually go in or not? >> No. I walked right to the door just like this. Right to the door. And I said, "What's going on?" >> So, you never went in? >> No. And I said, "What's going on?" And she got up off her thing and she said, "It's none of your business." And she hit me as hard as she could in my uh left side. It just It doesn't hurt anymore, but I Officers observe visible redness and a minor injury near the grandfather's eye and document it with photos. He states he is fearful due to prior conflicts and threats. I can still tell I got hit. Hold on 1 second, sir.

Stay right there for me. Struck What happened after that? I just walked out of the I just walked out of the threshold of the room and I said, "I'm calling 911." That's it. My exact words. I said I walked out of there. I said, "I'm calling 911." And I walked in into the kitchen. I said, "Where's my phone? Where's my phone?" I was panicking like, "Where's my phone?" I finally found my phone. I walked into the bedroom, I called 911. So, that's pretty much what happened? >> That's what happened. And I can tell you right now, I am in fear for my life. All right, hold on 1 second. We'll get there in a second. >> Mhm. And the redness on your eye pupil, like it wasn't there before? >> Oh, not at all. Grandmother provides context describing ongoing stress, recent arguments, and behavioral changes. She [snorts] states she did not witness the strike, but saw the aftermath. See, I can't see your back cuz you're facing >> a little bit. I know you're good, but I can still feel it. Do you need fire rescue, EMS, or anything like that? >> I don't need it. I mean, it's kind of a >> I'm just saying, I'm a pretty tough old guy, but You said you were in fear. I am. I don't trust her. I never have trusted her. >> You were in fear of life? >> You bet. I lock my bedroom door at night every time I can. Really? Yeah, because I don't trust her. I think she can She's threatened my wife to kill my wife. She's threatened my wife to kill her, and that's documented. When I went to court, when I went to court, that has been documented. She's been Baker Acted twice, and it's been documented. I don't care if it's years ago. >> right, okay, okay. And after an incident like tonight, I don't I What is she diagnosed with, do you know? She's bipolar. And when I went in and I I was in the room of truth, I remember the room of truth that they Does she take Does she take medications? >> She is, but she's hasn't been, and she They upped her medication, which she hasn't started yet. >> medication does she take? >> idea. So, she's prescribed medication, but she's not taking it? >> Well, she has been taking the older medication, right? The older medication. Now, they upped the medication, but she My wife today said, "I'll stop at CVS and pick up the medication." That again raised a big firestorm. It was a big argument over that. She's not taking any? I don't know. I I Whatever medication she's on, I don't know. She hates me. She hates Grandma. She doesn't You know, she just disrespects us. And You ask her straight out, "Do you hate your parent or grandparents?" she might say yes. So, what what exactly happened? What My granddaughter was in a very bad way today. She's bipolar. She was in a a bad way. She expressed that to me a couple of different times and I backed off. Expressed what? To stay away, you know, don't Stay away from her or >> you know. >> She expressed that to you today or Yeah, she said, "I'm not having a good day." And that happens with a person who's who's in that state. Officers determine there is probable cause for a domestic battery arrest based on the admission and consistent statements from those involved. I understand a little bit about bipolar cuz I research it. My husband doesn't, okay? And I understand that there are triggers with people who are bipolar and I'm pretty sure she got a pretty good trigger today with the baby daddy. He's been threatening her to take the baby away. They're not together or anything, are they married or is it just boyfriend or girlfriend? >> the picture. Okay. Never. Not ever. So, you think So, you think she's having a hard time because he's threatening her? >> a very hard time because he's threatening her. That's my belief That's my opinion. When I asked her to block him because he was threatening her, she did for a period of time and then recently I've noticed a change in her behavior in the last day or two and I think she's kind of opened up the block again. So, what happened today with between your husband and her? My granddaughter started out with a bad day because I asked her to clean the bathroom and she kind of got back in my face about it. I just shut up because I know don't cause any controversy with a person like that. So, [snorts] I shut up and I just said, "Taylor, I'm trying to get my work done. I got to go to work." Later on in the day, I asked her if I could pick up her medication from CVS cuz I had to go cuz I have allergies. "No, I'm having a bad day. Just leave me alone." So, I backed off. Later on in the day, right around the dinner time, we hear her crying in the bedroom. In previous times, I would go in and ask her about it, and she would get upset with me if I asked her about why she's crying. And I know why she's crying. It's because baby daddy has done something. But my husband didn't know this. And my husband goes in and said, "Taylor, what's what's going on?" And that's when this all happened. Did you see her smack him or hit him or anything? You didn't see that? At all. But you saw your husband go and ask her what's wrong. He was very upset when he left the room. >> Okay. So, you saw him go to the bedroom and ask her what's wrong, but you never saw what happened after that. Correct. Other than the fact that he came out and he said, "I'm calling the police." Okay. "She hit me." And I think he was a bit upset this morning because she was using some vulgar language at me when I asked her to clean up the bathroom. It all was tying into her being triggered and upset. She goes through these mood swings, and this was one of the mood swings. 7:10 7:13, that was the time to do it cuz the baby's on the ground playing. No, it did I I still need to talk to her. I mean, she had a baby 7 months ago. Postpartum depression is a thing. Do me a favor. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Officers inform the granddaughter she is under arrest. She states she believed she was defending herself and becomes emotional about being separated from her infant. This point, you're being placed under arrest for domestic battery. He hit me and he came at me first. When that happened, so I'm going to be honest with [music] you. Listen to me. He told me I was allowed to hit him. He came at me first. Well, he's he's He told me I was arrested for battery before. HE TOLD ME IF I was in a closed room and he came at me. Listen to me. If that happened, you could have you should have called 911. Okay. And he didn't He told me I was a kid. Listen to me. Listen He's he's denying ever saying he went into your room, and so did uh his wife. >> [laughter] >> Unfortunately, there's consequences today. I I understand you're really upset, but we got to figure out what to do. Okay. That beside Is it okay if your son is staying with your grandma? Hold on a second. Go inside before you get arrested. Can I please ask a No, go inside. >> We won't, ma'am. We I'll come in there and talk to you in a second. >> [music] >> You can't. Inside. He came at me. Tell them the truth. Go inside. Liam, Liam, Let's go, Liam. There's a little boy in the room who heard the whole thing go down, named Liam. He knows the truth. Hold on, hold on. My baby don't understand these stuff. He needs his mama. Hold on, Liam. What's the least I can get for you? It should be lined up with the door before the sliding door. You're helping Officers explained the reason for the arrest, noting the physical strike and lack of corroboration for self-defense. She is escorted outside and prepared for transport. I have been so mean person. Stop. How do you feed >> Hold on, I'm trying to bathe him. Give me a second, please. How do you feed the baby? I'm sorry. I have really I have really bad anxiety. Just give me a second, please. I need to say something. Okay. How do you >> The baby is given 8 oz every 3 hours. What is that, formula? Okay, that's good. I will never ever forgive you. Do me a favor. Can you lean against the car for me right here? If someone actually He me what I did wrong, nobody Hey, Listen, he's you you smacked him in the face. He told us that. You told us that yourself. He has a little bit of redness on his cheek and he's got some like a red mark, like a almost like a burst blood vessel in his eye from something hitting him or something like that, you know what I mean? And it's a domestic situation because you guys live together and he's your grandfather. So, you guys also have blood relation. >> myself when he comes at me. Like, you guys are really going to wait for me to get beat up. No, police. >> unfortunately Taylor, unfortunately, you're the only one that's saying you defended yourself. They're saying you >> who knows. He heard the whole thing. I'm pretty sure Liam's home and he would hear the whole thing. He would know. Watch your head, okay? The individual identified as Taylor was arrested for domestic battery. Remember, physical actions during domestic disputes can lead to immediate legal consequences even when emotions are high. Clear communication and de-escalation are important in shared living environments to prevent conflicts from escalating. This is the reaction of netizens to the situation. This seemed like a tense situation that escalated very quickly. The officers focused on statements and visible evidence to make their decision. It's difficult when family conflicts reach this level, especially with multiple people involved. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is when police step in to save teen from her dangerous mother. Come here. I'm not coming to you. Well, I don't want to go to jail. STOP IT MY KIDS. On September 9th, 2023, officers responded to a residence after reports that a woman physically mistreated family members. A witness states the woman continued acting aggressively after being separated, including attempting to re-enter the home.

Um and then she said a man in the During transport and questioning, she argues that she was walking away and had not harmed anyone while officers proceed with identification and booking procedures. Man I hit her but would not elaborate who he was, his name, or what he was suffering or nothing. I don't know. That's all I was able to get out of her. Okay. Can I ask you a question? Yes, ma'am. Why did you follow me? Ma'am? Why did you follow me? Because I was doing my investigation for the scene. What was the investigation? You told me not to say nothing else. I have the right to say whatever I want to say and I walked away from you. When did I ask you not to say nothing else? Oh, you said it. So, it's on your body cam. >> me. It might have been the other the other officer, but it wasn't me. And I walked away, right? >> You walked away after after I asked you to come here. I walked away and I wasn't saying nothing.

The individual identified as Whitney Bacon was charged with obstructing law enforcement officers, cruelty to children, and additional related offenses. Remember, physical disputes in domestic settings can quickly lead to multiple charges, especially when others are involved. Complying with officer instructions during an investigation can help avoid additional charges related to resistance or obstruction. This is the reaction of netizens to the situation. This situation escalated fast [music] with multiple people involved. There were a lot of conflicting statements, but officers focused on what they could verify. It's a reminder how quickly things can get complicated during family disputes. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when teacher calls police after 10-year-old arrives at school visibly harmed.

Yes, it is. You don't understand. On May 19th, 2023, officers and DCFS responded after a young family member was found with marks and reported his mother had been playing a physical game too aggressively.

What did Miss Hallworth say about the injuries on your arms and stuff? She just said, "How did you get them?" And she said I should probably go to the nurse, and she wrote me a pass. Okay. Officers note inconsistencies between what was reported at school and what is being said now. They clarify he is not in trouble and encourage honesty about how the marks occurred. Did you happen to tell Miss Hallworth how you got those injuries? What did you tell her? Miss Hallworth? I told her that um my friend hit me too hard. What if I told you that's not what Miss Hallworth said that you had said? Is it That's why that lady right there in the red shirt, that's why she's here because anonymous parties have to report injuries like that to her. And she had said that you said that did that to you.

As and we need to implement a safety plan.

Well, the safety plan, I I don't need to talk to your mom first to see if she's agreeing to the safety plan, and then I can have another conversation with you around what that looks like. But, in this case with the um amount of injury, he will need to be seen by our child protection team. >> Officers conduct a structured safety questionnaire. The individual denies ongoing violence or threats at home, but inconsistencies remain about whether a belt was used. Part of the safety plan could include, you know, if you go to house and you discipline him again, might have to call law enforcement again and and report it. And so, the concern is what happens >> No, just to call law enforcement again. what happens around the discipline. So, if you're agreeing to, you know, work and do a safety plan with us, then we can go ahead and um speak to your mom. >> Yes, I can hear you. So, y'all basically take safety plan. For how long?

She becomes distressed and expresses concern about the situation and its impact on her future plans. You guys mind taking him? Because of the injuries, I think that it was punished. But, um How much is her bond going to She won't have a right away. Until first appearance in the morning. I hate Yes. Would you guys mind just taking We're trying to avoid doing it in front of him. This is something I don't want to do in front of him because I want to get him home. I got to call them for my job. Like, I can't go to jail for everything. What's she being charged with?

Yes, it No, you don't Get that. No, you don't get that. Okay, now I'm starting nursing school. Unfortunately, I have to I can't just >> And I have to stay all No, I need to say something, but >> but I have to stay the night. I won't have a bond. >> That's Florida statute. >> That's beyond me. That's beyond my power. There's something we could help. We could help it. No, you wouldn't. If I could give you a bond, I'd give you a bond, but first state of Florida statute, I cannot give you one. And the faster we can get you there, the faster you can start making phone calls.

I know you don't want to, but you are. Jasmine, you okay? Jasmine, what's really important is for you to take nice big deep breaths out through your mouth. The reason we have to take her is number one injuries on him. Even though she didn't mean to, state of Florida that comes under child abuse, okay? You can't leave him alone unless you're punishing him. You can corporal punishment is all fine and good as long as you don't leave him alone. And you can See on his back leg there is a belt buckle mark right on it. And then we got She even told me, I don't know if you were right here when she told me that he put his arm out to defend himself from the belt and he got hit on his arm. He's got marks on his arm too. So that's why and I have to take her and I can't give her a bond per Florida state statute for domestic violence. It can't be a misdemeanor, it's got to be a felony? It's got to be, yeah. Because of the fact that she was trying to punish him and still left marks that were consistent with like her hitting him multiple times. Do you have any other questions for me? >> That'd be, yeah. Thank you, Jasmine. You have to stop worrying about tomorrow and worry about the right now. Right now I'm in distress.

You can take some nice big deep breaths so you don't make yourself pass out. At this point >> Don't say that, Jasmine. I know this sucks. The individual identified as Jasmine was charged with battery, simple battery, and endangering a dependent. Remember, physical discipline that results in visible injury can lead to legal intervention regardless of intent. Clear, consistent communication is important as conflicting statements can affect how situations are evaluated. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. The conflicting explanations made this situation more complicated. School staff did the right thing by reporting what they saw. You can see how quickly things escalate when injuries are visible. The tension is already high, or so it seems. What the body cam captures next [music] saves a life. Pause and comment what you do here.

Um well, we'll make sure that he documents that in his report as well. That those are your current but what I would suggest for that is getting a restraining order. Immediately. It's How long is during the week so you can go down to the courthouse and because it's domestic violence related it'll be free and you just have to fill it out. There's somebody down there that helps you do it and then it usually goes by pretty like within 24 hours time. That way if for some reason she shows up here, call us and that is the only authority that has it. Well, I think we're going to probably do you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that would be good, too. Can you reach out to someone, a family member or anywhere else, a friend, somewhere else you can stay? Yeah. Okay.

The individual identified as Raven was charged with domestic violence battery against a household member and endangering a dependent. Remember, domestic conflicts can escalate quickly, especially when communication breaks down and emotions are heightened. Physical confrontations and restricting someone's ability to leave [music] can both result in legal consequences. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. This situation escalated really fast once the argument started. Good to see officers separating everyone and focusing on safety. The presence of family members makes this even more serious.

The individual identified as Jessica Bergwell was charged with petition to revoke probation, resisting law enforcement, and disorderly conduct. Remember, active warrants can lead to immediate arrest even during unrelated situations like social media activity. Resisting or escalating behavior during an arrest can [music] quickly add additional legal consequences. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. She made it way worse by fighting and arguing the whole time. Officers stayed pretty patient despite all the insults. Crazy how social media can lead directly to getting caught. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officers rush in comment if you felt that spike. The next incident is when sovereign citizen plays FAFO with the wrong cop and instantly regrets it. I'm not going to court for this. I'm going to press charges on you. For what? >> Harassment. I want to speak to my now. >> politely asked you cop, so you said On January 15th, 2023, officers responded to a hotel following a report of a woman refusing to leave after taking complimentary items meant for guests such as food and drinks. Does she stay here? Has she paid for a room? She always just comes in and sits down on the couch. She just loiters and then we say, "Ma'am, you have to leave. You're not welcome back here." Okay. And then she doesn't leave and then we call you guys and she walks out the door. So we do that every single time but we have verbally trespassed her like if the other officers have said Right. And and and then yeah. So we do still believe that she's on on site right now. Hi there. You know why I'm here? No. Okay. So the hotel staff has asked you to leave multiple times before today. Before today and today and you continue to stay. Is there a report on it? It doesn't matter. If they tell you to leave then they you need to leave. >> Nobody's told me to leave. They told you to leave today and they've told you to leave before today. >> That's incorrect. But okay. But you have been But you've been Well, wait. Hang on. I need you to sit where you are because if they want to press charges then I will issue a citation, okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. Do you have an ID on you? No. Okay. Hang on. One moment. Do you guys wish to pursue charges or Okay. 2853 you can cancel. She argues that she has done nothing wrong and questions the officer's authority to detain her. Okay. So I'm telling you right now if I see you back here and I'm going to put notes in my call that if you are seen back here that you will be issued a citation, okay? Palo is my last name. What's your name? Sherry. What's that? Sherry. Last name? I'm pretty sure I don't have to give you my information. If you're being detained right now for >> You are. >> pressing charges. I'm detaining you under >> me. I can. No, you can't. Yes, because I was called here for trespassing. >> her if she was going to press charges and she said no. But you are still detained. For what? >> [music] >> I'm currently detaining you for the trespassing that I was originally called here for. Staff reconsider and decide to pursue charges. Officers attempt to issue a citation and request her identification details. That doesn't make any sense. Okay. I didn't do anything wrong. You did. What I do? You came back in here after We're not going to argue. I'm done arguing with you about it. >> before. Okay. I didn't tell you to leave. >> she was going to press charges. >> if you come back here Okay. you there will be law enforcement. Okay. >> Okay. You want her kicked out, right? Okay. You understand that she's going to keep doing this until you guys press charges and have her arrested. She's going to keep coming back in. She's going to keep grabbing food. She's going to keep doing all this stuff. So, you need to speak with whatever manager or higher above and get her and have someone give you guys permission to get her arrested because this is going to be a constant problem cuz I understand she keeps coming in here stealing food and doing other crap like that. So, you need to let whoever know who's above that we need to finally start arresting her for this or this is going to We'll do that then. I really want to charge her Okay. Cuz this is like the third or fourth time that She refuses to provide her date of birth or cooperate, insists she won't go to court, and threatens to press charges against officers. Okay. Cuz right now she's like, "They don't want to press charges. I can do whatever I want." So, Okay. Hey, wait. Officer Palo. Stop. They want to actually have her at the very least cited today for for trespassing. So, if she wasn't going to give you her ID or her information, she needs to do that now. You They're They're going to issue at the very >> have an ID. That's fine. So, we're going to continue where we were. And we'll get it from you. And if we don't get a valid one, then we'll take you to jail because we won't be able to prove who you are. Okay? So. Shermie, last name. Robinson, R O B I S O N. Date of birth? Date of birth? What day What is your birth date? Why do you need all this information? Because this is for the citation. So, I have to pay a fine? You will be legally held accountable for the trespassing. I don't know what the outcome of that will be. What is your date of birth? >> You need to explain what you're doing. I am writing you a citation for trespassing. >> means a fine. Do I have to show up in court? >> It's a misdemeanor citation. A misdemeanor? Correct. For what? For trespassing. So, I got to go to court? >> You will. I'm not going to court for this. What's your date of birth? I'm not telling you. Do you want to go to jail? >> to press charges on you. For what? >> Harassment. >> Okay, I understand that. So, you're not going to give me your date of birth? Nope. Okay. This will likely escalate further, just so you're aware. I don't want to arrest you. Good job. Okay, well, I need your all of your information if you're going to be able to get your >> I'm not going to court over this. You guys can play little games all you want. Shermie, what is your date of birth? I'm not telling you. That's none of my business. So, what we're going to do this time is we're going to issue her a ticket, okay? And if this doesn't work in the future, then we'll have her arrested, and we'll just keep cuz we've tried the please don't do this anymore like multiple times, and it's not working. Right. So, uh if I can get you to sign right here, just next to the X, and then uh if I can get your ID, what this is saying that is that you're signing her for her to receive a ticket for trespassing? Can I get try to get a 29 on a female out of Idaho? I do not currently have a date of birth. No date of birth. Okay, so ma'am I've explained. >> After repeated refusals, officers inform her she is under arrest for obstruction and trespassing related offenses. Do you understand that if you're refusing to do this to us, we're not going to be able to issue our citation to you? And you're resisting and obstructing our ability to issue this ticket. And we're going to take you to jail. You're still going to get this ticket and you're going to go to jail for RNO. Then then choose your judges. >> to be able to carry through with our legal and lawful purpose of issuing you a citation. No, ma'am. You're breaking the law repeatedly cuz you've been told You've been told repeatedly not to come back in here, okay? >> I'm not breaking the law. I haven't received any citation before. >> You've been told repeatedly verbally that you're trespassing. Ma'am This is not my side. >> own any business here. You have no legal right to be here. Yes, they are employees here. They're employees here and they can tell you to leave. And they have told you repeatedly to leave and not to come back. >> This isn't a private office. Okay. This is a hotel. >> which is private property, okay? Are you refusing to give Officer Paulo your date of birth and your full information? Yes or no? Are you refusing to give Officer Paulo your Okay. >> You're under arrest. Okay, you can do it. So I'm going to read you your rights. So you You've stolen During the arrest, she continues to argue, demands a lawyer immediately, and questions whether officers are real cops. You've stolen from them multiple times coming in here and stealing food from them. What? You have been told multiple times not to come in here. Who told me anything? You've been told So I'm explaining to you why you're now under arrest, okay? Fair enough, ma'am. Yep, go right ahead. Do have any weapons on you? No. Do you have anything that's going to poke me or stick me? >> Nope. Okay, do you have anything you shouldn't have on you? No, ma'am, this is your fault. You're the one You're the one who refused to follow the very simple rules that that you're required to so we can issue a citation for trespassing. You refused to refused to identify yourself, you refused to allow us to be able to complete our job fully. So, you're going to go to jail now, okay? You were just going to get a ticket. But now you're still going to get a ticket and you're going to go to jail. Separate your feet. You'll have to You'll be able to do that at the jail after you're booked in. Officers search her belongings and discover inconsistencies in her identity. It becomes clear she provided false information. You can't go through my stuff. Yes, we can. You are under arrest. And you're now under arrest for trespassing for trespassing and resisting and obstructing. I want to speak to my lawyer now. You will have that option at the jail. Don't have a lawyer here.

You're also under Additional charges are added for giving false information to law enforcement. That's for false false information. in case. Okay. Same thing. Okay, so you're now under arrest for false information cuz you gave Officer Palou when she legally and lawfully asked you >> so you can't legally arrest me. >> you gave her a false information. So, you're under arrest under arrest for false information. >> cuz you're not a real cop. So, both are real cops. The jail will not accept and neither will property food, so I'm throwing this away. And this open bottle of water is going to be thrown away. There's nothing else in there, so I'm going to be placing your items back into here. >> Will you put this lighter in with your other items? Yep. Thank you. Make sure that that absolute stuff doesn't fall out. It will be It will be booked into the Ada County property. No, you cannot.

Tim, why don't you just let me pee now? Cuz I ain't touching you, that's why. >> Yeah, you're in custody. You have no capability to be able to do that. And your drink from Hampton that I'm sure they did not offer you is also getting thrown away. Did you take my cigarettes? They're It's empty. cigarettes in there. Come on.

There is a pack of cigarettes that were that did have some cigarettes inside there. Did you take my cigarettes? They're in your bag. Did you zip up my baggy? There's people in here. So, this is the same female who's came in and stolen food and wandered off and stuff like that, right? Um she I know she's interacted with my other co-workers. I don't know if she's stolen food. I wouldn't be surprised if she has. >> Yeah, we've gotten calls for someone a female coming in taking food and then Uh but I know she has come in probably like six or seven times. >> Okay. And she's been told each time to leave and refuses to. She continues denying wrongdoing while officers finalize the report and confirm charges based on her actions and prior incidents. I told you guys that you leave and we call you and then Well, I'm writing this I'm writing her information down and I'm going to go write the police report so then you can leave it and know that your staff's like, "Look, she was cited for trespassing and then arrested for other charges cuz she lied to us. She gave us a false name." So, she's getting arrested for that as well as for I don't know. You can say, "Here's her real name." cuz she's going to say Susie Jones again or whatever. She's obviously uh probably also experiencing either abuse or some other things that are making her with uh problems and she's uh you know, lying about the name lying cuz she gives so I'll write down a police report. I'll be right back with that. And uh Raven has said that uh at least seven times she has been told I was looking in priors with Michelle's name and she's been in she's been Okay. Yeah, so You did refuse to leave. No, I get it. I was leaving and you guys arrested me. You refused to leave when you were still there when I got there. You had been told to leave before.

Okay. They're able to change their mind. They're able to change their mind, which they did. Jeremy Robinson was charged with first-degree trespass failure to depart, resisting or obstructing officers, and providing false information to law enforcement.
