I don't know what y'all talking about.
What's going on?
Alrighty, sir.
I'm Officer Cruz with the Teleness Police Department.
I'm conducting an official and criminal investigation concerning fraud.
Any false statements about material matters given by a witness under the oath will be consulted penalty.

You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned.
If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning.
If you wish, you can decide at any time to exercise those rights and not answer any questions or make any statements.
Do you understand each of these rights as I've explained them to you?
Yeah, I understand, but what is going on?
I don't know anything.
Have you previously requested any law enforcement officer to allow you to speak to an attorney?
I haven't.
I don't know anything about none of these.
Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now?
What is going on?
Having these rights in mind, do you want us to talk to you?

I need you to answer the questions before I talk to you.
Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now?
Why would I talk to you all of them?
I don't know what's going on.
It's a yes or no, sir.
Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now?

He said a yes?
Okay.
All right, so we are investigating some fraud stuff with the credit card.
Have you been using anyone else's credit card anywhere?
No, sir.
Have you been shopping lately with a credit card?
No, sir.

That's it.
So you don't use a credit card anywhere?
No, sir.
Okay.
You've never obtained a credit card from here, found one lost or whatever else, and used it anywhere else.
So there wouldn't be any video of you anywhere shopping with the credit card.
Like at the meat market.
At the meat market that doesn't belong to you?

Never with a card.
Okay, so if we got a video of you using a card, I use my own car, no one else's.
Well, you said it's a phone, right?
I have that car, but it's not with me today.
You have the car, but it's not.
What cards do you have on you today?
I don't got no card on me.
Boss cards.
That's it.
That's it?
Okay.
And a pack of cigarettes.
That's it.
Okay, so you're denying all claims of going over to these places and using someone else's credit card?
I don't use nobody car.

All right.
You know it's you.
Just start telling us the truth.
I don't want to go to jail today.
I mean, if you're lying to us, you're only going to make things worse on yourself, buddy.
Because all that's going to go in the report and all the judge is going to see all that shit.
I'm not trying to go to jail today.
I understand that, but we got to investigate what happened here.

He stole her credit card and has been using it for the last month.
So that's why we're doing all this.
All right.
And man, you go to Chucky Keys with the kids, baby.
Check your keys and they're stealing people going to the meat market and going to the smoke shop and cigarettes.
And to be fair, he had known that we were here and we saw him through the window in his regular outfit, his regular uniform.
And then I think he thought that he could hide in the Chucky Keys uniform.
And that's why he's like, so he has to be Chucky.
He's a Chucky person.
He usually is.
Yeah, so I mean, I understand what y'all are doing.
I just, for sleep, I got a lot of kids.
They come to see Chuck.
They literally crying now right now.
I got to talk about it.
Yeah, shut up.
So he's like blaming the cops.
The Chucky's a thief.

He has absolutely no qualms about this dude stealing from customers using their credit card.
Yeah, he's worrying about the kids in the uniform.
Should have worried about the kids when you hired him.
