Yeah, the cameras aren't the best, but that looks like him. That looks like him. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Once you get that filled out, we're going to see what we can do about finding them. Okay. The next day, the store manager calls the officer back to inform him that a customer may have seen the suspect in the act fleeing with the victim's purse. She almost ran right into him and he recognized her. Okay. So, he confirmed that yes, that's for sure her name, but none of them seem to know the guy's name. Okay.

She literally like almost mowed him down when they were turning the corner. So yeah, cuz he had actually asked me before I left yesterday evening when I went to leave. I stand out here in the parking lot talking to another customer and he come walking. He's like, "Hey." He said, "Did you have somebody steal and run yesterday?" And I was like, "No, why?" And he said, "Well, they almost made me." I said, "Well, they didn't steal from me, but I said they were." Yeah. And he's like, "Yeah, the girl Shelly Johnson."

And I seen a lady walking up through there crying, had her pocket all tore apart and stuff, saying she got robbed at robot to go inside, call cops, and I guess cops came down, reviewed the cameras.

I do understand my rights. Are you okay? Are you okay to talk to me about? Yeah. Do you understand that that woman that was my $20 the woman snatched out of my hand? Okay. So, you know what I'm talking about then? Yes, I do. I was going to give her a couple of dollars and she snatched my $20 out of my hand. The one the woman that was walking down the sidewalk. Okay. Yes. So, I stood there for a minute and I thought to myself, that's the last $20 I've got to my name. She's not taking my money. So, I snatched her wallet back out of her hand after I She turned around and walked away. I said, "No, I'm not doing this, Jay." And I said, "No." I said, "Hey, come here." And I said, "Now your wallet back and I took my $20 back." Okay. So, you took $20 out your wallet that belonged to me that she took from me first and she was cramming it down in her wallet. How'd she take $20 from you? Because she asked me for a couple of dollars and I had a 20 and two ones and she snatched the $20 and did this. And I was like, "No, wait a second. Hang on a minute. Where where did you run into her at?" It was right. I didn't She She stopped and asked right there in front of the bus. Right in front of the bench. The bus station bench. Yep. And she asked you for a dollar. She asked me first. She asked for a light. A light? Or she asked me for a light. So I got a light out. I gave her a light. I already had the money in my hand cuz we were going into the store anyways. And she said, "Could you spare a couple of dollars?" And so I took the $2 away from the $20. And then when she was about half drunk or something, I don't know what was wrong with the woman. She snatched $20 from me. Okay. And I was like, in her wallet, she was cramming it down into her wallet. So then you pulled the wallet out of her hand. Well, it took me about 10 seconds to realize what she'd done. And I said, "What?" I said, "She just snatched that." And I was like, "No, I'm not doing this." And I went 1 2 3 about 5 10 ft. And I snatched the wallet from her. She was shoving it down into her wallet. Now, she didn't get it all the way down into her wallet. Mhm. Then, okay. And I took my $20 back and gave her her wallet back. Okay. Then what happened? I turned around and walked away. She hollered, "I'm calling the police. I'm this and I'm that." So, you walked away. Where'd you walk? Walked right walked behind Valero's. I was going to go into Valero said, "No, I'm going to go across the street to Family Dollar." And I said, "Okay, go to Family Dollar." Good. I'll walk over there with you. Okay. Take my last $20 to my name. Okay. Who was you with? Uh Jason, but I don't know his last name. Jason? I don't know his last name. Uh oh, God. Does he live over here, too? No, he doesn't. I just I ran into him in front of Riley's first. You don't know Jason's last name? I don't. British Jason. Jason Jason Johnson Jason Jackson. Is it Jason Jackson? Okay. You want me to get a hold of him where he lives? I don't. I just know he comes to Okay. So, here's an issue I have with your story. You didn't walk away, Shelly? No. She told me she was going to call the police and Jason said he had a warrant. Come on, run with us. Let's go. He took off. Start to go off. Do you understand how it looks suspicious that you ran away? I didn't run away at first. You did? Obviously, I watched the cameras. I knew it was you. That's why I came out here, right? Yeah. But she saw she call the police. She hollows. Right. So, I knew it was you and you guys ran. Because he said, "I have a warrant. Run." You don't have a warrant. Well, no. So, why'd you run? Guess I guess I was running because he was running. If somebody stole your money, right, that'd make you a victim. Why would you run if somebody stole from you? I just ran because he was running, right? You understand how it makes you look guilty when you run away, right? I do. You ran around Valera, right? I did. And ran across Brett Street, right? I know. Ran down the alley. I know. That makes it look suspicious to me when I'm sitting here. I'm sorry. The woman said you yanked her wallet out of her hand and stole her money. All her money. Have you up now as long as you've known me? Have you not ever had anything ever heard me do anything like that? Well, it happened because you did pull the wallet out of her hand and pull money out. But you're saying it was your money. She's saying it was her money. No, she sensed my money first before the hand. Okay. I don't know if she was drunk. I don't know if she was just I don't know what she was. She's not drunk. She's disabled. Well, I didn't know that. And I didn't know. And she sto That makes it even worse when somebody has a disability. Well, she let it seem like she was plunk drunk to me. No, she has a disability. That makes Well, I I mean, she still took my money. People with disabilities still do wrong things. Okay, let's walk down here. Let's see what these other officers Can I have right now? Let me see. Yeah, I don't care. So, where's this other guy at to verify your story? Jason, I don't know where Jason is at cuz it would be nice to have somebody to back your story up because like I said, well, I know that, but you know what? He like I said, the only reason he it looks it looks bad on you. I know it does, but that's what he he said he's got to warn. It's going to be hard to It looks bad if you took off running. I mean, finding Jason is going to be like a needle in a hay stack cuz that's the reason we still took off running to start with was cuz he said he had a warrant. If you didn't do anything wrong, I don't understand why you ran. Just because we was together and walking was walking together and we was going to a couple of places together. Yeah. What was out doing yesterday? I was headed towards I was headed to Bright View and headed to the bank. You know that woman $20. Never met her in my life. Never even seen her. Stop. Shelly, I don't think that woman took your $20. Why? I just doesn't sound very believable to me. Oh, but it sounds believable. A person that's been here for 4 years and never been in trouble. So, I don't going to decide to I don't think I don't think the woman that has a physical disability. Why? You don't think people with physical disabilities do things wrong? I don't think she did that. I think you're lying to me. I'm not lying to you. Okay. I'm not lying to you. Why would I? Well, I don't even know that woman. She stopped and asked us for a light and asked for a couple of dollars and she snatched my money from my hand and turned around and tried to I thought she I thought she was drunk. Maybe that was the issue. You thought she was drunk and you could steal from her. Yeah, that's what it is. I want to go steal from drunk people.
