Your parents. you you're from Orlando or um Okay, so we got called here for allegations of some missing money, right? I'm assuming Macy's already talked to you about it. So, I'm here to get your side of the story of what happened, right? Um I'm usually pretty up forward and I'm honest to the person. And that's why I tell you like you know there's no secret to why I'm here. Okay. How long you've been working for Macy's? It would be four months. Four months. And what is your job here at Macy's? So associate in sunglass sunglass. So you sell sunglasses. Okay. Uh and um part of your duties as associate at Sunglass Hut. Do you do cash transactions when you sell sunglasses? Okay. So, the allegations that Macy's is doing is that it's been some discrepancy on your cash register, right? Are you aware of that? Can you tell me what happened? Um, to keep it short, I mean, I took a few times money from register. You took money from the register. Do you have any idea how many times? A few times. A few times. We're talking three. We're talking 10. We're talking 50. Oh, it was less than 10. Less than 10. And do you know how much money it took? 2100. Yes, they said. Yeah. Well, that's what they're saying. How much you think it took? I estimated under thousand under a thousand. Okay. Uh like on the times that you took, what was the largest amount you ever took in one day? 400. 400. And then what was the least amount you took in one day? I think it was like $60. 60 bucks. How how you were doing? How? Yeah. Um, like you were waiting till the end of the day or when the customer hand you the money, you didn't put inside the register or how do you do? No, it was whenever I closed or open the register when you're closed or open the register and then you will take the money out. So if it wasn't closing, I'll take it from the deposit. What is What do you mean by the deposit? Like the money that you would have sent it to another employee to make the bank deposit. Yes. Or like here at Macy's, we would go upstairs and we would like throw it into like this mail thingy. Mhm. And I guess they send it out to somebody or something like it like we'll put in a bag in the deposit bag. Okay. And then when you put on deposit back, do you seal that bag? Yeah. Okay. So, because this is where I'm asking some of those questions, okay, and I I appreciate your honesty. I appreciate you're telling me that you took some of the money, but I hate uh saying like, hey, you know, it's $2,100, right? As Macy's saying, $2,100, but you're saying, hey, it's I estimate less than a,000. So, I want to make sure there's no other person involved on this. Oh, no. That could have be even without my knowledge taking that money later. I mean, without my knowledge, I wouldn't know, right? That's why I'm saying like I want to make sure like your bags were always sealed, right? Like when you did your deposit cuz like I never worked for Macy's, right? But on my young ages, so I worked for other stores and I actually work for a bank at one point and I'm assuming it's kind of pretty similar to what you have here. So like when I work on a bank, at the end of the day, they call you batch, right? which you count your money and then you put all that information and your computer system is supposed to match. Okay, he's supposed to have $3,000 cash. When you count your money, it puts in there. Yes, it matched $3,000 cash. And then we take all that money out. We actually had it to put in order. If it was like $2,000, we were supposed to all hundreds were supposed to wrap it in $2,000. And then we put on a seal envelope that I seal and I also had to initial the envelope. And then I go to the drawer which is like the chute we call where you put your money and then you close. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. The little mel thing upstairs. I call it a melting but like a little shoot. Yeah. Yeah. So after when you close when you close your your money like your account your money, how much average money you had a day? That varied a lot because I mean there were some days where there is no deposit, some days where like all your sales were like credit cards and stuff like that. And then but what is the like I'll say what is the largest amount you ever had on your drawer? Like in total? Yeah. Like on your sales, right? You're do you have a minimum amount that you start? Yeah. 300. You start with 300 and then whatever you sell cash then it's that's the deposit the amount plus the 300. Well, I don't know if it's plus the 300. Well, but you send that 300 back or you keep that 300 on your drawer. No. So, the drawer itself always has 300. It has to have $300. So, then if there's more than $300 when there's cash payments throughout the day, then that's the deposit that we would, you know, put in the shoe. So then every day will be $300 to register morning, night, you know. So if you had no sales, you had $300, correct? Right now, if you sold $1,500 in cash, then you would have a total of 18, which is the 300 plus the 1500. I believe that's how it works. Yeah. All right. Why are you doing this? Like I told them it's for school out of the pay pocket. Um you paying for college? Yeah. So, I did get a scholarship, but there's parts where I have to pay it back. And I have an upcoming trip. I know it sounds stupid, but I have an upcoming trip next month, and I'm short of money on that. Where are you going? Cancun. For how long? A week. A week. Going with friends, family. With my boyfriend. Um, what do you where are you going to school at? Valencia. Valencia College. What are you thinking? What? Yeah. What? It's medical assistant with EKG. Very good. How far are you in? I just started. How long is the program? Um, it's an accelerated course, so it's like four months. Oh, those are hard. Yeah. Um, and it's two days a week, but I'm using that as a stepping stone to like do nursing later on. Uh, how much are you paying for school? like how much money you're short. Sorry. I'm like 6,000. Sure. 6,000. How much is the program? Oh my god. It's okay. Take your time. Sorry. You're fine. I totally understand. Believe me. It's over. It's over. I can't. So you got like tuition for like 40% of it. That's still quite a lot of money. I paid myself through the police academy and the police academy cost me 5k, you know, and to me that was a lot, you know. The only difference that the police academy is full-time, so it's extremely hard for you to work. So I had to work most weekends and stuff and I 100% understand, you know, what you're having to go through. Um, do you had any plans to stop? What was your goal like besides the trip? And like it was like when once you paid off your college, that was when you were kind of like going to stop or was going to stop after the last the one from yesterday. How much was the one from yesterday? 100. 100. [Music] Do you regret? At any point you thought as you were doing like I can't get caught and I can go to jail. Um is there anything that I forgot to ask that you want to add that you think is important? Anything on your side or anything that I miss? No. Uh would you like to write apology letter to Mises? Can I say uh prefer um in writing just because it's easier because I'll have to turn all this information to a judge and it's easier for the judge to see in writing than have to watch my entire body cam. You have zero obligations in doing it. Okay? If you don't want to do it, that's fine. You know, uh um that's this is 0% obligation. I only ask I normally give the opportunity to everybody once I they I see that they have some remorse that have some regret of doing just for you know for court purpose. But if you don't want to do one now, you can always do one later. You can actually if we get the chance to go in front of the judge, you can tell and talk to the judge over there. That's up to you. Yeah, I'll let you. That's that's something. All right. So, what's like the whole like the process right now? Okay. I'm going to go get uh her side of the story again. I want to see like everything that she has, her statement, the evidence, and everything. And then um we're going to go from there. Uh most likely, you know, and you're probably going to be going to jail today. Okay? You will have a bond. Uh you'll be able to make phone calls and everything from the jail to get your family to help you out, to bond you out. Uh you're also allowed to bond yourself out if you have any cash or card. But uh based on the little that I already saw it and if it continues that they were willing to prosecute my hands are tied on that I have no choice but to take you to jail today. So I'll make the phone call. I'll help you. You call from your phone and then you're allowed to take once once you go inside the jail they will allow you to take I believe up to three numbers out of your phone and have on a piece of paper to make more phone calls. And then over there you can also make as many phone calls as you want. Sir, do we need any of this? Nope. Okay. Any questions for us? Thank you. Have a great one. Thank you. All right. Go to your left. it or anything. So, and then we'll keep the eye off. But it's better since your property's inside. It's better if your parents come pick up later on. All right. Just take a look. Had I get my bag, though? Uh, no. We can't go there right now. There's nothing inside the vehicle. Correct. So, anything any contraband or anything that appears after you come out, you'll be charged with it. Okay. Just letting you know to say there is they don't feel good too. I put um my finger in it. Can you put it a little too? I put I put a finger through it. It's required a fing two fingers. Probably because the way you're sitting if you're moving your hands. It's going to be a short ride. It's less than 5 minutes. She was charged with scheme to defraud and grand theft.
