00:00Cops in Ohio spotted a young man shoplifting.

00:17After hearing his story, they teach him a lesson he won't forget.

00:21We have an undercover detective that spotted you steal from Walgreens, so you're being

00:33detained pending further investigation of theft.

00:36We'll clear everything out real quick, I just want to make sure we're all good, okay?

00:39It's not related to here.

00:42If it all ends up being fake or whatever, we'll take care of it.

00:46I'm pretty sure I know it.

00:48Okay.

00:49Hey man, you're doing great, alright?

00:52Don't, look, he's a good friend of mine.

00:54Don't make me go over there and pull this in.

00:56Did you go in?

00:57No, sir.

00:58Where do you live at?

00:59Uh, I live.

01:00Sit back down, sir.

01:01Let's see that.

01:02Where do you live?

01:03I live on the north side.

01:05How do you get over here?

01:06Uh, I forgot.

01:08From where?

01:09School.

01:10So you live on the north side?

01:11Yeah.

01:12Where do you actually live, I mean?

01:13The north side, I promise.

01:14Like, what's the address?

01:15Oh, yeah.

01:16The street at least.

01:17The north side.

01:18It's, I just load up everything.

01:20I'll have months.

01:21You like a main road that brings you to there?

01:24Like, how do you get to there?

01:26Uh, it's Main Street.

01:27Main Street?

01:28Oh, okay.

01:29Yeah.

01:30Why are you gonna tell me you only took one back?

01:32No, those I paid for.

01:33What?

01:34Those.

01:35You paid for these?

01:36Yes.

01:37Yes.

01:38I'm sorry.

01:39Initially, the young man tries to lie to officers about what he's taken, but he quickly realizes

02:05he's going to need to take responsibility for his actions.

02:08Well, let me buckle you up, because we're going to get you over there, okay?

02:11I'm so sorry.

02:12I just didn't.

02:13It wasn't a great one.

02:16Yeah.

02:17Hi there.

02:18Hi.

02:19Obviously, he came in.

02:20He's off duty, but he saw him steal some stuff, called it out to us.

02:23Okay.

02:24Um, we got him.

02:25He's 16 years old.

02:26He's in the back of our cruiser.

02:27It's up to you guys if you want to press charges, trespass him, whatever.

02:29As far as we know, that's all he stole.

02:30Is he a Belmont kid?

02:31Yeah.

02:32He's like 6'4", looks relatively respectable.

02:35Yeah, we kicked him out the other day.

02:36Okay.

02:37Um, I was told by her that one of my other co-workers, he kicked him out the other day

02:42because he was stealing his lo.

02:44Okay.

02:45So this is occurrence number two?

02:46Yeah.

02:47We had a lot of Belmont kids come in here, but I'm going to have to call my store manager

02:51to see what she wants to do.

02:52Yeah, by all means.

02:53What's up?

02:54No, I'll just send out our podcast.

02:56Hey man, I'm not saying what you did today wasn't a bad thing.

02:59Yeah.

03:00But all things to say, you really do seem like a good kid.

03:02Yeah, I know.

03:03You're cooperating.

03:04You're speaking well.

03:05You're being remorseful.

03:06I know.

03:07I just made a bad decision.

03:08I just got out of practice.

03:09I was hungry.

03:10My bus don't come until, like, a little bit.

03:14Yeah, I just made a bad decision.

03:16Well, regardless of how the rest of this goes, let's make this a learning moment.

03:21Let's make this a coming to Jesus moment and not doing this again, okay?

03:24Sure.

03:25Officers believe the young man is truly remorseful for his actions and are willing to release

03:30him.

03:31However, his future is in the hands of the local store manager.

03:34Officers stand by, waiting to hear if they wish to press charges.

03:38I mean, all things considered, yeah, like I told him what he did was wrong, but he really

03:42does seem like a decent enough kid compared to the ones we're chasing out of Hyandes and

03:47stuff.

03:48Like, he's been super cooperative, well-spoken, hasn't put up any type of an argument.

03:54Like, he's owned all of it.

03:57Super remorseful, so.

03:58I'm thinking that might be it.

04:02Doesn't he give you any trouble at that restaurant?

04:04No, he's been super cooperative, super remorseful.

04:07He is.

04:08That's what I was just saying to banks.

04:09All things together, he does look like that.

04:11That's all.

04:12I don't want to stop him.

04:13He's got that out of his mouth.

04:15At least that way, we're at least going to get the cuffs off.

04:17Come here.

04:22Since we're not the ones that are reporting there, we're not going to press charges.

04:25Okay.

04:26She said just, if you want to, let him know that we've seen him in here before.

04:29Okay.

04:30Do you want him trespassed?

04:31That would mean that if he comes back, it doesn't mean he's going to jail, it doesn't

04:34mean he's in trouble right now.

04:35It just means, if he comes back and you guys call it in, he'll go to jail for the trespass.

04:38No, I wouldn't worry about it.

04:40Okay.

04:41I wouldn't know that.

04:42No, he is.

04:43That's all.

04:44Okay.

04:47It's this young man's lucky day.

04:48Hopefully, this close brush with the law is enough to set him straight.

04:51Officers clearly want the best future for this young man, and what they do next might surprise

04:56you.

04:59She said, I'll call my boss.

05:01He called the boss.

05:02He said, okay, we don't want him to go to jail because we didn't report it.

05:05And I was like, you want to trespass?

05:06It just means he can't come back and he does it as a charge.

05:08She said, I don't even want to do that.

05:09Just let him know he can't come back.

05:10Do me a favor.

05:11Go grab all the stuff and-

05:12I don't know where- whatever it is.

05:15Where's all the stuff at that he took?

05:17Sorry, I already put it back on-

05:19No, you're good.

05:20We're just going to buy it for him.

05:21Oh, it's in my hair.

05:22That looks.

05:23It's dirty.

05:24Go check you out a drink or something.

05:25Alright, I'm going to buy that for him.

05:26Not even thirsty?

05:27No, not even sure.

05:28It's not even thirsty.

05:29It's so happen every day.

05:30It's a little bit embarrassed.

05:31Don't be embarrassed.

05:32Learn from it.

05:33Be embarrassed.

05:34Yeah, learn from it.

05:35This is jailable.

05:36You can be going straight to JPC right now.

05:37I do not.

05:39Thank you, thank you.

05:55Officer's give the young man some snacks.

05:56young man some snacks, some good advice and hopefully an important life lesson.
