Bodycam posted October 29 shows a March Jeep deal in Waupaca, Wisconsin, that ended in two arrests. The buyer kept calling to her partner for help getting out of jail.
Waupaca police were called March 24 to Petersen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. In the video shared by Cam Stories TV, a dealer’s employee explains what led him to call. He had checked both the buyer’s bank funds and her court history.
An April story in the Waupaca County Post names the buyer as Morgan, a 28-year-old woman from Neenah. The paper cites a court filing and lists five charges: issuing a worthless check, felony bail jumping, two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping, and driving without a license.
Morgan insisted she thought the money was there and didn’t mean to break the law. Officers also had questions for her partner about what she knew before the sale.
Before the Keys

The employee explains that Morgan showed him an account screenshot, but he could not match it to the check. When he checked with Wells Fargo, he told police, there was not enough money to cover the sale.
He also found a court order that barred her from having checks. The Jeep had not been handed over, and the sale was not done when police arrived.
Asked to open her bank account, Morgan said a code went to her computer, which she did not have with her. She had checked the account that morning, she said, and offered to leave without buying the car.
An officer went through the check rule with her, but she disputed what she had been told about her bond. She thought the rule barred her from contact with a salon, she explained, rather than from having checks.
An officer told her she was under arrest for breaking the terms of her bond. She asked that her partner follow to post bail.
Someone to Call
“Babe, can you post my bail?” Morgan called out. While she kept asking for help, officers questioned her partner about what she knew before they reached the dealership.
Her partner knew about the bond and had warned Morgan not to write a check, she told police. She also said Morgan had told her a check was allowed if the account held enough money.
One officer pressed her about changes in her answers and her knowledge of the check rule. He then arrested her on suspicion of being a party to the crime.
Morgan insisted her partner had done nothing wrong and that she had told her the money was there. Then came another request: “Can I post her bail?” An officer answered that both women were under arrest.
One More Question
Now Morgan wanted to know how they could pay after court if police had their things. Her debit card was in her partner’s wallet, she explained. An officer told her he had that wallet, too.
She kept asking about leaving together, while the officer stressed that the judge would decide on bond. “I don’t work for the courts,” he said.
All parties are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
