Once we figure everything out, we'll walk my car to you. >> Okay. So, they confirmed it, that's it, and >> If they confirm it, yeah, then you'll be under arrest and I'll have to take you to jail for the warrant. >> Okay. >> Uh doesn't sound like any additional trespassing at the moment. >> No, yeah, I know. >> All right, and all you take home with you is that fuel up. >> I'm a little upset. >> That's all right. >> I'm just upset now. >> All right, well, have a seat and then we'll wash your car for you. >> And then they said 3:07, then they also think you're needed up there. >> All right. >> I have a 7-Eleven blue shirt associated vehicle's going to be a blue Ford Explorer, 783 X-ray 3. >> Okay. So, um I got some other things I want to talk to you about, okay? It's not related to this. Okay. But, because you're sitting in the back of my car, I got on this monkey suit you're in handcuffs. I got to read you your rights. You've seen all those cops in Law & Order like you all that good stuff, okay? So, I just want you to listen real carefully and then I'm going to ask you a couple things at the end, okay? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer of your choice. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you in the court of law if you wish. Does that kind of make sense? So, what I wanted to talk to you about was I wanted to talk to you about the July 8th incident in the Ralphs. So, I was here when that happened. And they got some pictures of who was involved, okay? And the tattoo matches exactly, all right? And I have tattoos. And so, I know that this is not fresh. >> This is fresh. >> Well, fresh is a relative term, but it's not fresher than July 8th. >> It's old. >> It happened then. So, you came with another gentleman, okay? And you guys went in there. Something happened. You guys whatever. He did his own thing, okay? And took off out of the store. Then they came and they found you. And they asked you for your membership card. And you gave them a membership card that didn't belong to you. And then they asked you to leave. And you left. They wanted to look inside your purse because they thought that you were concealing items, mainly bottles of liquor. And then you denied that and had a rag laid over the top of it. And then you walked out and you went to your car. And they got pictures of you on the way out. And I'll venture a guess to say that you have two tattoos right here on your collar bone. Okay. So, it was you. You can you the act. >> I'm not acting. I mean, I if if it wasn't just something that I I'm not acting. >> Okay. Well, the act, the lies, whatever. Cuz you said that that was your sister that was involved here. And you said the only thing that you heard about was that reference to the Costco was your sister and her man came here and there was something. Okay, so it wasn't your sister. You know it wasn't your sister. And you remember exactly what >> I I don't. The only thing is and that's my day is cuz I I mean I mean you can think I'm lying still but I'm not. I'm not playing this part cuz I actually heavily heavily medicated but that's fine. >> Heavily medicated on All right. Can you take it for me, okay? Yeah, if you just want to keep it on your person, that's okay. I'm going to talk to her. Cuz I don't know if you were there that day but a long time ago there was a robbery with a machete here. And so I took that case but that we found the guy. Uh he's I think still up at large right now. But she was working here. I don't know what day it was. I It was I just remember it was busy as all hell that day. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I pretty much was working this day. >> Like today? >> Yeah, just like today. All right. Um so, I pulled up the pictures um that we took or that you guys took uh at the previous time. Did you Do you remember if you like actually formally trespassed her? >> I don't believe we formally trespassed her. Okay. This would be the first technical instance. >> Okay, sounds good. And I just did it on your guys' behalf. >> It was more so like what happened was like we asked her to open her bag cuz like it was clearly that she was concealing something. Obviously, you know, we're not going to obviously force her. >> Did you guys have an opportunity to um review footage to see if you actually did? >> Uh we did and I don't believe our LP was ever able to like verify, you know, something like um and I think they he was able to get footage of the gentleman. Um but I believe he was apprehended because I got subpoenaed for that. >> For next week? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's that'll be the grand jury for him. Um I found out he was five times prior convicted felon. >> Holy [ __ ] >> So I'm going to I asked the DA to pursue the charge. Which I think 374. >> Okay. >> That'll be >> Okay. >> So there's that for you. Um and since you weren't able to confirm, you know, nothing we can do um about the previous time where I listed her as involved because it sounds like somebody when you look at those pictures that you got, somebody recognized her and her tattoos. And identified her at the time. >> Okay. >> And so I think I gave you guys the information. >> So for her? >> Yeah, it was last week and I was picking up the video >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I That's why I remember That's why when I saw her I was like I'm pretty sure you said that they had like a warrant out for her or something. Someone was looking for >> Yeah, because it was um and yeah. So um that's all her stuff. Just keep that. I got to keep that and let all your people who do this kind of stuff out there Let them know. Um and they this could be a logical as well that she's in trust on. >> Okay. >> She's going to be >> Okay. >> Awesome. >> Sounds good. >> Have a good day or see you tonight and I'll see you next week, I guess. >> Okay. >> Excellent. >> Yeah, transport. >> Okay. >> Okay, crystal. So now you are under arrest. We're able to confirm your warrant. Um it's for contempt of court out of Sparks. >> Is this the ticket I got again? >> So I don't know if you got a ticket from Sparks and you were You're to pay and do community service or whatever. Okay, yeah. If there was if you're delinquent on those payments or something like that, they'll usually hit you with contempt of court because you made an agreement with the court and you're not sticking to it, you know? So, that very well could be. I don't know. Um I'll be able to get more information about, you know, how much it is. Yeah, I just mean like how much the bond is or bail or or the amount of the warrant. Yeah, yeah, so on and so forth, okay? Do you have anything in your bag I need to know about? >> Yeah, I have two bottles. >> Two bottles? From here? >> From here? >> From here, yes. Okay. >> Thanks for doing your job. At least At least we're not in California, right? Where they just >> Yeah, exactly. Thanks. You have a good rest of your night. Do you need Do you Do you have the ability to like let me inside or get somebody out here? >> I don't have I don't have a walkie uh I don't have a radio. >> Damn. >> Uh >> All right.
