You want You called DCF that's why we're >> No. >> That's why That's why we're asking >> I'm like no, I'm not We just both work so >> I understand.

Oh. >> Like you weren't you can't get a hold of anybody to take care >> Right now. >> Yeah, so it's not DCF that you did something wrong to them it's just you couldn't get a hold of anybody, but make your calls first.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Um they said for theft at Target for self-checkout. So No, I'm not pregnant. I don't think I'll get pregnant. >> No, you're just kidding. >> It's probably not the norm, so he probably he or she >> I just >> Okay. But because I they had gone to the house and Gabe was there, so I told them like Scarlett and James are probably getting home from school right now so so they don't call DCF because the kids are home alone. Not because we didn't do anything wrong. Okay. Okay. He said he'll leave now. >> I'm sorry. Yeah. >> Do you have anything here that you need to take out? >> Like a purse? Um I just need my car. So I leave >> I wouldn't leave it. I don't know what's the right I would have to go up with you. >> And I would try and put that in not >> No, I can leave my car here like for the night or till later today with >> As long as you're fine with that. >> Okay, I just have to get a picture of you real quick. >> All right, so 1 2 3. I know it's kind of odd. Um, so yeah, leave your stuff here. >> Like my phone and stuff? >> Your phone can go with you. >> It can go >> Yeah, it'll go with you so that way you can get phone numbers out and you can call who you need to when you get to the jail. So everything you have right now should be fine. You don't have a purse or Yes, ma'am. Yeah. You're good. >> So I can use my phone? >> Yeah, and then you get different clothes. >> All right, ready? >> Good. Honestly, my car's right there and doing it as discreetly as possible. >> The only way you can get in more trouble now is if you took off running. So yeah, I don't think you're going to do that. So >> I would not. I wouldn't do that. So how long does somebody have to >> Um, well you can bond out as soon as the booking's done. Um, you can which will just take a few hours once I get you booked and all the paperwork's done. It usually takes a few hours. So as long as you have the funds to bond you can bond out this this afternoon. Oh yeah. >> Yeah, like I can >> You don't have any priors, right? >> No. >> Okay. So >> Like I could go like to work tomorrow or people don't do things like that. >> able to as long as you >> I don't >> You have to have the money to be able to bond. >> Right, and then people can like kind of live in normal until things Okay. I can do all normal things. It's just right now is the >> This is the moment. >> This is the moment where we unfortunately go in. >> I've been through this moment before. >> You've been really cooperative. I'm not going to handcuff you in the back. I'm going to handcuff you in the front. It's policy I have to handcuff you. So >> Whatever, I don't want to >> Yeah, so I'll you sit down and handcuff you in the front and then I'll take you to jail and you literally just get booked processed and you're going to the opportunity to post bond or have your husband or something call him and he'll Yeah, and then he can work on that. >> How do you know how much it is? >> Um I it'll populate in mine, but they should tell you too. >> Oh, they'll tell me. Okay, cuz I'm like, how do you know? >> Yeah. All right, go ahead. No weapons on you? >> No. All this is this is like public record, right? >> Unfortunately, it is public record, but someone really has to know what they're looking for. >> What do you mean by that? >> Like they would have to know to like go to the county website, but that like call your county like mugshot page. So, the pro- >> I was trying to pull that that way. That's what I'm getting. >> The problem is is that You're okay? The problem is with that is that I can't give you an NTA and notice to appear because it's an above a misdemeanor amount. So, >> Yeah. That's the problem that I can't just take you uh with a notice to appear for you to just see the judge. So, it would be like an arrest without arresting you and taking you to the jail. So, the reason why it's different is because of the level that it's at. So, or I would be >> What is the level that it's at? >> Um I'd have to look at the amount, but I know it's grand theft. >> What is that? Like what's the What are the seventh >> Seventh It's uh like a above 750. >> $750 is grand theft? >> Yeah. Sounds like a low amount for a big thing, I know. >> I wonder if I'm going to get fired. If someone looks it up, I don't know your policy. Like if it's a felony, like So, you're a felon? >> No. No, no, no. >> You're just Sorry, I just don't know. >> You're just getting arrested. That's it. You're not char- You're not convicted. You are not The judge has not say, "You are guilty of everything that you did." You just What we have is probable cause with evidence that you committed the crimes, but it is the judge that is the one that signs off on whether or not you are guilty of a felony or do they take your clean history and do they break it down? Do they give you diversion? Do they give you a slap on the wrist this time? Like what is it that they do in order to make this not be a felony on your record? So, like the process is now >> will be like public tonight. >> You getting arrested is public tonight. But >> say for >> It'll say grand theft. But, it will not show that you are a convicted felon. It will not show anywhere about felon or felonies um with the state or with the with the judge that you are a convicted felon. So, if they did a background check, they wouldn't um Nothing Nothing would come up in the Yeah, correct. Correct. So, let me get you on going. >> Woman is charged [music] with grand theft of up to $3,000. Thanks for watching today's video. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe for more of our content.
