This week, Dennise Cruz was shocked to receive a yellow postcard from the City of Carrollton stating that if she doesn't immediately submit to their extortion demands, then she would be kidnapped and locked in a cage.

"That has to be wrong. I don't have any tickets under my name. That's just my first reaction. Never would have I thought, tamales," said Cruz in an interview with CBS DFW. "To know that somebody can be arrested over that, that to me is unbelievable.".

The yellow ticket was a "warrant arrest notice" stemming from Cruz' illegal activity a few months prior. Cruz, obviously a hardened criminal worthy of police action, decided to make her famous tamales and post them on the app Nextdoor for sale. Her neighbors loved them.

"It's just so common. That's why to me, I don't understand why it's such a big deal," said Cruz.

However, because Cruz did not pay the state to operate this business, their procedure is to rob her under the threat of violence. She was hit with a $700 fine.
