03:12to court records she's been living rent free for almost a decade i know she's a serial squatter
03:17we've done a lot of digging on her and we've talked to many of the other landlords that she has
03:24done the same thing to and uh she's doing this over and over and over again in the same zip
03:32code
03:33through a translator carmen marcha told the judge she was the victim of a scam she says she gave a
03:38500 deposit and first month's rent to someone posing as a realtor she swore that that was true
03:46that everything she was saying was true and if it is true then she's been scammed multiple times
03:54exactly the same way how do you think she got into your house
03:58um we believe that she might have broken in uh they might have uh uh violated the lock she knows
04:05how the system works she knows exactly what she needs to do she wins one week at a time until
04:11she
04:11can stay the longest that she can how does she have so many evictions this person right here is not
04:19who you guys think is that's all i have to say since carmen says she doesn't speak english we asked
04:25her
04:26daughter to speak on her behalf what i want you to explain is why why your mother has all these
04:31evictions no i want you to explain why you guys pull up to people's houses and record we didn't pull
04:37up to anybody's house kids in the house i don't know we have nothing to do with any of these
04:45pictures
04:45i don't even know what you're talking about i have the same camera equipment ain't that crazy ain't that
04:50weird cameras over there cameras over here shout out to randy wallace uh fox 26 but um man he she
04:58put
04:59him on his heels real quick he thought he was on the off offensive all of a sudden he's like
05:02wait wait
05:02no but uh no we didn't do anything all of these cameras are weird you don't think that's weird
05:08they're professional like what are y'all talking about and it's awful it just stinks i've got to be
05:14honest yeah i can't speak for anyone else this would be exhausting for me this has got to be the
05:19most exhausting way yeah be on the run all the time yeah that just seems i and depend i mean
05:26the
05:26weight of rent's going up maybe my mind changes sometime uh in the future i just i'd rather pay
05:33this seems so exhausting i wonder how much money she saved on doing it like is she just flat out
05:39broke
05:39and just well it seems like she's done this a lot yeah who knows yeah but she has enough wherewithal
05:44to know how the system works and all that yeah and i could stay here for about a year and
05:49then get
05:49somebody else that little 500 yeah and then stay there for a year like that it got to be stressful
05:55man have you seen the show neighbors uh is that also from 1990 no it's i actually just came out
06:01in
06:012026 and 2025 and uh it's one of those that deal with things like it's actually deal with disputes with
06:09neighbors but one of them was about a squatter and the dude said i yeah you could squat i'm moving
06:13in
06:13too uh and started playing music and animal sounds and all this other stuff all day long until they
06:19finally left it was yeah i was talking to a buddy of mine uh who said he moved into this
06:25apartment
06:25and it was some neighbors in that story he like how you doing didn't think nothing of it they were
06:31squatters oh man he had no idea man and i think they end up breaking into other people houses and
06:36all
06:36that stuff yeah but he was just like wait those people were squatters i gave him like 20 to help
06:42me move this table inside oh my gosh yeah i'm like man that's crazy that's a 10 years that's a
06:49i don't
06:49want to salute her for this but that's kind of impressive going being on the run like this for 10
06:55years not paying no damn rent yeah that's crazy it's midstate presented by sheriff injury lawyers
07:02on in the loop 95 7 the fan so um somebody was banned from walmart and i didn't do it
07:09wasn't me
07:10yeah i just want that to be clear i it was not me yeah so no i want us to
07:14really have a discussion
07:15about this because we kind of talk about issues where somebody might be doing something nice
07:21but technically it's against the rules so we we seen it with teachers in schools helping the kid
07:27that probably don't have a place to stay and stuff like that and then they're getting fired because
07:31they're not supposed to do that but on the other side we like man he's doing the right thing like
07:36you should he shouldn't lose his job for this yeah um this is kind of the situation a little bit
07:42so
07:42you had a comedian um going to walmart acting the fool a little bit but he was also paying for
07:51a lot
07:51of people groceries and this is what happened this is courtesy of inside edition with this whole
07:58story a highway pullover but it's not for speeding or reckless driving the cop tells the driver he's
08:04just been banned from walmart for life steven fabian tells us what's going on why are police pulling over
08:12this car you guys are no longer allowed to go to any walmart's any sam's clubs or any murphy gas
08:18station
08:18for life okay so it is a life ban from walmart that's right banned from all walmart stores forever
08:26who's issuing walmart is what we do so why is walmart banning this guy his name is damon darling he's
08:33a
08:34comedian who became a social media sensation for paying for groceries at walmart stores in ohio
08:40well ma'am i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and pay for your things today okay you are amazing despite
08:46the good deeds the nation's largest retailer is fed up saying he repeatedly violated their policies
08:53through disruptive behavior and trespassing unrelated to any charitable giving that includes attention
08:59grabbing pranks like this can i put it there the ban is already taking effect but you know you're not
09:06allowing me why ain't i i'm just buying people's groceries and you've been you're not allowing any
09:11walmart we spoke to the comedian today as he prepares for a nationwide comedy tour you had to
09:17think walmart wasn't gonna like this right filming their customers in their stores without permission
09:22the fine line i wasn't sure you know because i watch videos all the time of big creators that are
09:28loved
09:28filming in walmart it wasn't like i stole anything or hurt anybody i'm trying to just put
09:35some joy into the world so i want to know how y'all feel about this like i know technically
09:41probably per the rule book of walmart you can't record in there but um he has some moments where
09:48he's probably doing a little pranks that was probably a little irritating but he was helping a lot of
09:52people buying groceries and stuff i want to know how y'all feel about this and how how have y
09:57'all how
09:58would y'all handle this if y'all were walmart appreciate what he did probably still should have been
10:03banned uh to to be honest i mean it's almost like he was using like but i'm buying their groceries
10:09but
10:10i'm buying their stuff as a reason to kind of get the sympathy of that would allow me to do
10:15things
10:15that are against whether it's walmart policy or whatever privacy all that all those things
10:22i get his angle and that's all it was like hey maybe if we pay for some groceries you know
10:28we'll be
10:28able to do this a little bit longer it doesn't matter doesn't matter if you're still doing
10:32something that is either against their policy or maybe even a legal thing with privacy laws and
10:38everything else then you should be banned so if you were the ceo of walmart how would you handle
10:43would you handle this the same way or would you try to maybe take them under your wing be like
10:47hey look
10:48we can't keep doing this but i don't think you can afford to let him keep doing that as a
10:52major
10:52corporation oh you can't keep doing what he's doing now but maybe they could partner up and say hey i
10:56like what you're doing hey let's try this let's try to do this instead of recording people maybe and
11:02acting the fooling what are we doing here man you can't be in here bothering our customers exactly
11:06it's really that simple he's using the the groceries as this sort of like a shield it's like yeah but
11:12i'm
11:12i'm ending up paying afterwards hey man if the customers are being annoyed by you consistently you
11:16can't be coming in here annoying the customers right yeah man you ultimately do some cool things for
11:20some folks they ain't got nothing to do what they got to do with you getting in here and annoying
11:23our customers right ultimately walmart and i hate that i sound like mr businessman here because
11:28goodness gracious do i not like but like their business plan is people come in and spend money
11:34and we want to create or really get rid of all the friction towards that and a big point of
11:40friction
11:40is this dude keep coming in and putting a camera in my face yes that's a point of friction we
11:44don't
11:44want to do that for these folks yeah i'm kind of with y'all with it but i think i
11:49will probably try
11:49to work with him on something else i wouldn't totally ban him for life for this yeah that
11:54might be enough i will i will probably try to work with him on something and see that he trying
11:58to
11:58you know do the right thing get people groceries and stuff like that i'll try to work with him on
12:03something else i i would that would be the last thing i try to do is ban him for life
12:07for doing
12:08something like that i would i would tell him no cameras and stuff like that maybe we could do a
12:12separate event or something like that where he can help people but you can't come in the thing is he
12:16might not be interested in that you know he wanted he wanted the the value of of whatever
12:20it was he was doing he is a comedian right he's currently on tour so i mean i don't see
12:24him saying
12:25no hell no that's the curiosity i have like when he goes on tour as a comedian does he do
12:29stand-up or
12:30is he doing some level of trying to take this content into putting it on the stage that's the
12:35thing i'm curious about like what is that show actually i would hope it's a stand-up if he say
12:39he's
12:39a comedian on tour like do they got other stuff where they just put his content up there i don't
12:44know
12:44it better be a damn stand-up if he's talking about a comedian on tour the thing i will say
12:49is
12:50it's not like walmart's the only place where people congregate now if if his whole thing is entirely
12:54around giving people money like i do think that yeah that i get that that kind of mitigates what
12:58you're doing if you're just doing kind of man on the street content a lot of other streets where
13:02man are yeah yeah all right i'll get y'all a lot of here on this so um another day
13:10another
13:11roller coaster stuck oh yeah so what you mean another roller coaster another roller coaster
13:15it's been a lot of roller coasters getting stuck randomly apparently i've been missing out on the
13:19roller coaster beat like i just have not seen all these news stories i've been seeing way too many
13:23for my liking but here's cbs news with the latest stuck roller coaster that went viral new video of
13:29the frightening moments when an amusement park ride broke down on the new jersey shore
13:41one rider screaming for help everyone on the ride stuck hanging upside down for about seven minutes
13:47last month now according to eyewitnesses and he can't make this up they said the song safe and sound
13:53was playing in the background this song was playing in the background as they were hanging
13:59upside down yeah i didn't need to hear that i didn't need to hear any of that i thought that
