She got away with it the first time. And the next time. And apparently enough times to think those little amounts were staying little. Target had other plans. Investigators say a Florida woman repeatedly went through self-checkout, paid for some merchandise, and left other items unscanned. One trip wasn’t... thousands of dollars. Neither was the next one. But Target was documenting the transactions, saving the receipts, reviewing the surveillance and adding everything together. Eventually? Nearly $3,000. That’s the part people sometimes forget: getting out the door doesn’t necessarily mean you got away with anything. When deputies eventually showed up at her workplace, those “small” incidents had become a felony-level grand theft case. Then came the questions: “Am I a convicted felon?” “Is my job going to find out?” “Can you just tell me what to do?” Suddenly this wasn’t about saving a few dollars at self-checkout anymore. It was about an arrest at work, explaining everything to her husband, worrying about her children, wondering what her employer would learn and facing a criminal case. The deputy even tried to give her some dignity, letting her leave the office without handcuffs and giving her time to arrange things at home before she was taken away. There’s a bigger picture here. Something can seem small when you’re doing it $20, $40 or $100 at a time. But small amounts add up. So can the consequences. Your job. Your privacy. Your family having to deal with the fallout. Your name attached to a criminal case. Getting away with something once isn’t proof that it was worth doing. Sometimes it just means the receipt hasn’t come due yet.show more

If she was a black woman, it wouldn’t go down like this.. these cups are racist and you can tell by the way she got a message compared to how black women get arrested

I give her credit for not screaming falling down and yelling. I’m pregnant

Bad choices? I’m not surprised….she’s wearing a tight, backless dress in an office setting. This is not appropriate workplace attire.🙄🙄🙄

All stores got lazy with the self checkout and invited theft across the country by not hiring extra employees.

When people ask what white privilege is, show them this video. "Dont worry, take your time making phone calls, and we wont cuff you until later" WTF ?!!

Cuff her properly. Fucking privileged horse shit.

I wonder if it was a black woman if she would’ve got all these privileges?

Geez what a way to ruin your life and credibility. She doesnt look like she needs to steal.

The kindhearted police spent so much time explaining to a thief. Awwww 🙄😬

She's a kleptomaniac. I have a friend that is a klepto even though she has enough money to buy things they enjoy the rush they get when they steal. My friend went to therapy for years for this.

Pathetic all the way around.

Here’s what you do put your fucking hands behind your back and go to jail you miserable thief!

Fucking thief

I cant believe she wore that open back dress to work. Not appropriate

I hope she stole enough to cover her bond. I long for the days she would have been in jail for a long time.

She thinks being nice and smiley is gonna get her out of it.. what a dumb bitch lol

She’s attractive and white so she should be let go. I’m OK with that steal from that faggot corporation.

Ugh why ruin your life for garbage in a chain store?

Big brother is watching even if your conscience is rotten to the core.

@mcgmouton57 You know her coworkers are gonna look her up to see what she got locked up for.

@1mZerOCool Nigerism

@USADocumented what the heck is she wearing, to the office? tells me alot.

She has a job why be a thief? It makes no sense.

She told her husband it was from "self checkout" although the police weren't specific about how she actually stole the items, so she knows she's guilty.

@1mZerOCool Nigerism

@GigglingGanon Cops are racist if that was a black woman they would’ve let her go

In case you’re wondering why stuff costs so much these days…

If she was black they would tased her and throw her to the ground! Because she would have resisted arrest screaming “I didn’t do nothing” the whole time and saying “y’all Ray-cist”!! 😀

I appreciate the professionalism of the female officer- but her tone was more like she was arresting the lady for taking a paper clip- “no biggie”

Totally legal in Cali.

@grok what sentence did this woman face

The cop's hot.

Target and Walmart have FBI level of theft prevention technology and surveillance

@USADocumented Wow they so nice her 🙃🤦🏽‍♀️
