Well, we like I didn't see you at first come up like but I thought I saw like lights and then when you guys like came in like in the parking lot, I did see you guys and then we ran because we were scared. Got you. So, we just ran but you know, no point.

[00:07:31]We just we just ran. Okay. That's that's what happened. That's fair. When you guys were in the store, did like what was your was your guys' plan to like take the food or what was going on?

[00:07:43]Well, I mean, we were just like grocery shopping, you know, for like food, but we just like, you know, can't afford all of it, and like we just kind of thought like maybe we can just get this and just just get it, and it would be okay.

[00:08:02]Okay. Maybe, but just I know it's not okay to do that. It's not.

[00:08:07]But, no, yeah.

[00:08:09]Okay.

[00:08:11]Fair enough.

[00:08:12]So, there are programs, there's food banks out there that help you guys get food.

[00:08:17]>> Yeah. There's it it's a problem, I understand that, but there are other better solutions for those problems, okay? Yeah.

[00:08:25]Just want to confirm everything else looks all right in there, right? Um >> I just got all the grocery items. Yeah.

[00:08:31]Oh, yeah. I think that >> all looks good? Yeah. Okay.

[00:08:35]Again, I just took out all the grocery items that were in there.

[00:08:40]But, I'll leave that with you, okay?

[00:08:47]So, just in case my other partner didn't tell you, um you guys are both under arrest for the theft, and for obstruction for running, okay?

[00:08:54]So, not the end of the world, but right now you're going to the jail with us, okay?

[00:08:59]So, we'll work through it. We've got a female officer here, she'll deal with you, and then we'll go from there, okay?

[00:09:03]Okay. I Go ahead. You got a question?

[00:09:11]Sorry, I'm trying to trying to talk. Mhm. Take your time.

[00:09:22]I was just going to ask, um so, like, how how does, um like, the rest of it uh work?

[00:09:34]So, >> going to the jail, and like, how do we get like released and when do we get released? Like how does that all go for us? So, you got you'll have a couple different options. If you guys want to bail out, you can bail out tonight, right?

[00:09:47]Uh if you can't afford bail, then you can you can wait to see the judge. Uh what time is it right now?

[00:09:53]It's uh it's 11:50, so you'll see the judge tomorrow at about 1300 about 1:00 p.m.

[00:10:00]1:00 p.m. tomorrow? Yep. And judge will make a determination of whether or not he wants to grant bail or if he wants to just release you on personal recognizance. Basically, what that means is uh you promise to show up in court and then he'll release you.

[00:10:14]But it's up to him. He >> to understand this uh uh uh release.

[00:10:19]Like if he like decides to just release us >> Mhm. like while we're being seen at 1:00 p.m.? Right. So, when he sees you at 1:00, he'll give you an opportunity to, you know, briefly describe what happened and just determines, you know, you'll be able to talk to me and say, you know, explain your situation, plead guilty not guilty, whatever you would like to do at that time, right? And then he'll say, "Okay, I'm going to set court for this date and time. Until then, I'm going to release you on what's called personal recognizance."

[00:10:49]>> I love you.

[00:10:50]And so, what that means is he's going to give a court date and you're promising to appear in court on that date and time and so he'll release you, right? Or he could say, "Okay, court's set for this date and time. I'm going to hold you on bail." Which means then you can uh pay bail and then you can be released, right? Or he could say, "I'm going to hold you without bail." Which means that that you'll stay in jail until your court date.

[00:11:15]Okay. So, those are the those are the three different options that he could choose. I I don't know which one he'll choose for you. It depends upon your situation, uh the seriousness of the crime. This is pretty minor. It's uh you know, it's it's shoplifting.

[00:11:29]Um and the obstruction that the officer was talking to you about is because you ran from us.

[00:11:36]Yes. Okay. Okay. So, So, like we head in to to jail to uh Tonight.

[00:11:44]>> Tonight. Yep. And then would we like if if no one can bail us out tonight, do we basically sleep there?

[00:11:52]>> Yeah, you sleep there until uh tomorrow and you'll see the judge uh around 1:00 p.m. Around what?

[00:11:58]Yeah.

[00:11:59]Okay. And then how much is bail for for like For what you guys did tonight? Yeah. So, it's $1,500 per charge. So, it'd be uh $3,000 each uh because you have uh two two different charges. You'll be having shoplifting third degree, which is a misdemeanor, and the obstruction, which is a gross misdemeanor. So, our misdemeanor bail amounts are $1,500 a piece.

[00:12:23]And then of course uh that's cash bail.

[00:12:25]So, you can pay 3,000 up front or you could do a uh bail bondsman and it'll be 10%. So, 300.

[00:12:34]Okay. So, for me if if I had someone bail me, it would be 3,000?

[00:12:40]If they if they wanted to do cash bail, yes. But, they could also do uh bail a bond. A bond. Yeah. Bail bonds.

[00:12:48]Which is generally 10%.

[00:12:50]>> [snorts] >> Okay.

[00:12:53]Yeah, I don't think anyone can afford to bail me out tonight.

[00:13:00]Mhm. Or pay for me.

[00:13:03]So, so in that case, you know, to be honest with you, you you would stay in our jail in here in Kirkland. Our jail is pretty nice. You know, there's not a whole bunch of people in there. It's not It's not like you're in King County or anything like that, okay? You're going You're going to good people jail. So, our jail is pretty uh pretty small.

[00:13:21]Uh you'll be in there with limited people. We have a large correction staff that's there all all night long. And then like I said you'll see the judge tomorrow and the judge will make termination on you know how he wants to release you.

[00:13:34]Okay.

[00:13:36]And are me and him at like the same jail?

[00:13:40]>> Yeah, yeah you'll be at the same jail.

[00:13:41]It's the Kirkland jail here right here in Kirkland. But like is it like divided like genders?

[00:13:48]>> Yeah, yeah. So you'll you'll be in separate rooms or separate cells.

[00:13:53]Okay.

[00:13:53]Okay? Am I in there with a bunch of people or is it just me?

[00:22:59]So, one must go. Part of it's cuz you got the wristbands on. So, is it the left or the right one? Uh both of them. Both of them. Okay. Well, I can get my whole finger on your left one. So, Yeah, this one is the tight one there.

[00:23:12]Yeah, I mean It's the uh wrist band here that's kind of caught under it, too. That's not helping.

[00:23:20]So, I'll try and get that one out for you. Thank you. If you keep the back of your wrists together, um other way around.

[00:23:27]So, kind of like that.

[00:23:29]That should make it a little bit more comfortable.

[00:23:34]So, there we go.

[00:23:37]So, I can get a whole finger under both of those, so those are both fine.

[00:23:40]They're not too tight, per se. Um but if you keep the back of your wrists kind of touch together like Now, it's kind of hard to see. Like that, that'll keep you a little more comfortable for you, okay?

[00:23:50]All right. There's a little pocket for your hands back there.

[00:23:53]And then I'll get the seat belt buckle for you, okay? We'll be out of here pretty quick.

[00:23:59]Lean forward just a or lean back just a sec.

[00:24:02]Awesome.

[00:24:04]And we'll get you going in a minute, okay?

[00:24:09]All right. You all right okay back there? Yeah. Okay.

[00:24:12]So, are we both going to be charged uh 2,500 each or what?

[00:24:17]Uh so, yeah. So, the way it looks at right now, um because you guys were doing it together, uh you're both getting the theft and you're both getting the obstruction.

[00:24:27]Uh So, because you guys were Just slide this one. Uh it's not working.

[00:24:33]Uh so, basically because you guys were together doing the thing, um right now it stands that uh you're both getting charged with the theft and both for running.

[00:24:44]Uh Um Oh, it's still her choice to do it. So, you guys are both adults.

[00:24:53]So, I'm uh still talking to the primary officer.

[00:24:56]Um So, you're you guys are both going to the same place.

[00:25:01]Um it's separated male and female, so you're not going to be like in the same room or anything, but she's not going across the city or over to county or anything like that. Um and then it's up to the primary officer if he wants to hold you guys or just get you guys fingerprinted and cut you loose for the night, okay?

[00:25:16]So.

[00:25:17]Uh it's the end of the world.

[00:25:19]So, we're going to be in front of the judge together then? Uh it depends on how they want to do it. The whole court process is outside of our scope.

[00:25:29]Um but for the initial like booking process, we've got to keep you guys separated, so they're going to handle her stuff and then we'll get you knocked out.

[00:25:37]Um do you think uh there's possibility that we'll be out by the morning time or Um it's for it's right around midnight, so usually that's kind of the cut off. Um so they might try to get you out first thing, but I can't guarantee that.

[00:25:55]So.

[00:25:56]And then I'll make a phone call and see what I can do. Um I said it depends kind of on the primary officer what he wants to what he wants to do. Uh >> [clears throat] [snorts] >> I mean, it it not the crime of the century, but if you are going to run, which please don't run, um I would really strongly advise not running into the road cuz there drunk drivers out and they will hit you and you you will lose that battle every time. So, please just stay out of traffic.

[00:26:27]Um just the last thing I want to have happen is you guys get hit by a car because I mean, you already made one bad choice, but don't make another one and make it a thousand times worse than it already is.

[00:26:37]So, um this is is what it is, but yeah, I don't want you guys to get hurt over it either, so.

[00:26:46]It was later determined that Cody and Stephanie stole a total of $1 worth of groceries.

[00:26:52]The video currently on screen shows a separate shoplifting incident where a concerned customer stopped the suspect and recovered more than $1,000 worth of merchandise.
