"All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." "Officer Rapp:" "Out here, being in the public eye, sometimes it's kind of difficult." "It's very important for us to remember to always be professional, no matter who we're dealing with." "Right now, with all the things that are going on in society you just can't ever tell what's going on in somebody's head, what's making them have a bad day." "So the best thing we can always do is be kind to people and try to put ourselves in their shoes." "Radio dispatch:" "All units respond, 201 South St. Francis." "122's out with one tase." "Right now we're coming up to the area." "An officer was checked out on an auto theft, and had got into an altercation with the suspect." "We don't know if the suspect's been tased, but he's on foot now, running in the neighborhood." "We're gonna see if we can snag onto him."

"I got him in custody here, locked in the alley." "Five South Emporia." " Huh?" "Suspect:" " What did I do wrong?" "Well, let me ask you this-- Why are you running?" "You scared the hell out of me." "Scared the hell out of you?" "I didn't do nothing." "Normally when the police come, you stop, right?" "You don't keep running." " Yes, sir." " Other side." "Why am I under arrest?" "Am I under arrest?" "Yes, you are." "For what" " Ow!" "For obstruct, resist, and a number of other things, all right?" "All right, put your knees up to your chest." "Ready?" "We're gonna stand up together." "What's your name?" "My name's Walter." "Okay, Walter, now why are you running?" " You scared me." " Because I was running because you were running." "So now why are you running?" " I'm not running no more." " You got warrants?" "No, I'm not-- No, I don't have warrants." "Okay, why are you running?" " You scared me." " How'd I scare you?" " I don't know, but you scared" " You ran way before." "You was running from cops way over there." "I know, they scared the hell out of me." "Well..." "That doesn't sound like a reasonable excuse to run from the police, right?" "I'm sorry." "( Stammers )" "I've been drinking and you scared me." "Spread your legs." "I'm sorry, I didn't know you" "If I had known you was the police I would have really stopped." "You scared me." "I thought you was going to hurt me." "I thought you were the monster."

"Why am I going in the car, Officer?" "Just have a seat." "Calm down, okay?" "( Radio chatter )" " What's your name?" " My name's Walter." "There's a monster over there." " There's a monster where?" " Yes, there's" "You guys are police, save me." "Okay, you're safe." "You're safe." " You saved me." " Okay." "How old are you, Walter?" "I'm like 140." "No, what's your age?" "Tell me how old you are, bud." "How come you got me like this, Officer?" "The monster ain't got me." "It's so you're safe, okay?" " He should be in handcuffs." " Okay." "The monster should be in handcuffs." "Thatcher:" " Walter." " 129, go ahead and start EMS." " Just Code Green to check this guy out, please." " I'm sorry." "I didn't know you was police." "You've got a pick-up for running from us in a stolen car, and you were just sitting in a stolen car." "So let's get back to reality and forget about monsters." " Sitting in a stolen car?" " Let's talk about what's real." "That's why you ran." "No, that's because they parked it in our driveway." "I'm trying to get that shit out of there." "He said it ain't stolen, it's that guy's, right down there." "Oh, it's stolen, and I have a reason that's why you ran from it." "Oh, no." "No, not me." "'Cause you've got a pick-up for running from us in a stolen car." " I what?" " Yes!" " When?" " Like, three weeks ago." "You don't remember?" "Chasing you?" " Chasing me?" " Yeah." " Nuh-uh, not me." " Yeah, you." "I have a feeling that's why you're running from the police tonight." "It's not the monsters, it's the police." "And you've got-- yeah, you've got warrants for your arrest, and you're sitting in a stolen car tonight." " I have a warrant for my arrest?" " Yes." "Well, why?" "Felony evade and elude, stolen vehicle, car chase." "None of that rings a bell?" " No." " And you're sitting in another stolen car tonight." "I got shocked." " You got shocked, yes." " Why, who shocked me?" " That was me." " You shocked me?" " Yeah, I shocked you." " Why'd you shock me?" "You're police." "'Cause you're running from the police." " You're on my side?" " I am on your side," " but when you're running from the police" " You shocked me?" "Yes, I did." "But when you're running from the police that's what happens." " You're not on my side." " Yeah, I'm all the way on your side." " Don't go over there." " You shocked me." " I ain't gonna shock you now." " You're not the police." " You're not dressed like the police." " I'm the police." "But why are you wearing like that?" " ( Radio chatter )" " Dressed like what?" "With all my police stuff on?" " I'm not here, man." " Slide back over here." " Why?" " So I can talk to you." " You gonna hurt me?" " No." " You gonna shock me?" " No." "I couldn't even b-- I couldn't even breathe, you shocked me." "Why'd you do that?" " Do what?" " Why'd you do that?" " Why'd I shock you?" " Yeah." "You were running from the police." "Walter, Walter." "Hey, drink-- drink some water, bud." "There is bad dope out here right now, 'cause I've never seen people in the last two weeks... have this type of stuff going on." " I'll revise." " It's gotta be bad meth." "Either that or they're mixing it with something else that they're not supposed to, because this is, like, the third guy in a week that is completely out of their mind." "Male officer:" "There was a call-in party that said that he noticed a strange van parked on Morris." "Said there was a white male matching the suspect's description that was seen getting into the van, throwing his bike in the back, and then he took off with the van." "He said he thought it was stolen, 'cause he was acting like he was possibly under the influence of narcotics." "We contacted him, said, "Police!" "Show me your hands."" "Essentially, he turns around and runs towards the fence." "I tase him as he's jumping the fence." " Right here?" " Yeah." "And, uh, he gets over the fence," "I tase him one more time 'cause I didn't think I got a good connection, and he gets down." "It locks him up." "Then he kind of does a roll, gets out, and then runs towards Emporia and goes northbound." "That's when y'all start chasing him to the north here." "Mm-kay." "What's the status on the van?" "Uh, the van's stolen." "It was stolen last night, and the trailer, it's been spray-painted so we're guessing it's probably stolen." "He can't even open the gate." "I told him," ""Take it out of here now." I come home from work tonight, it's still there." "So somebody set you up." "Why is the bicycle in your van?" "Because I'm moving the van out of here." "That ain't my bicycle." "Oh, okay." "So you were just trying to get it out of here 'cause you didn't want to get in no trouble for it." " You're a monster, go away." " Well, are you doing okay?" "'Cause you're gonna have to take a ride downtown." "I wanna go home." "Well, you're gonna have to go to jail first for a few hours, and then you can go home." " Jail?" "For what?" " Yes, sir." " Stolen vehicle" " It's the landlord's!" "I understand, but you were messing with it." " I need some water, please." " You need some more water?" "They're gonna have plenty of water down at the jail for you, all right?" "Dobson:" "Yeah, working midnight shift here in the North District," "I get to work with a younger squad who are very proactive." "Um, and they like to keep busy." "I can trust them that they can have my back, and I know I can trust them as well." "Radio dispatch:" "One-five." "Female is screaming inside the residence." "Right now we're headed to a call where a neighbor's calling in saying she can hear screaming coming inside from a neighbor's house." "So..." "We're going on the scene right now, so we'll check it out." "( Radio chatter )" "( Muffled shouting )" "( Knocking )" "They're running?" " Hello." " Come on out here." " Step outside." " Sheriff's Office." "Come on with me over here." " Um, I'd rather stay here." " Okay." " You can stay there." " Amanda, baby." "Woman:" "I'll come over here." "Hold on, just relax." "Just relax." "Woman:" "I know, there was a screaming match." "Are you injured?" "Um, a little bit, but nothing that requires medical attention." " A little bit, how?" " Um..." "I don't know, bruises, cuts." "Okay, you guys get in a physical argument?" "A physical fight?" "Um, nothing." "We weren't throwing punches or anything." "We were yelling." "We had an argument over..." "I cheated on her a little bit back." "And, uh..." "( Sighs ) it got really loud." "I kept asking her to be quiet, but she's really hysterical." "Okay, so what led up to the argument tonight?" "Well, I went out tonight with my friend, and, um..." "He, uh..." "We were out for, like, an hour and a half, two hours, and then I came back in, and she's like, "What were you doing out for so long?"" "And I was, like, "Nothing, I wasn't doing anything."" "I came in, and she was, like... all loopy, all crazy acting" "Dobson:" "We're 10-4, we don't need any other units." "( Sighs )" "I don't know, I just want" "Were you guys wrestling around, fighting each other?" " Um... - 'Cause your chest is red." "You got some marks all over" " I know, I know." " All over you, so what was going on with that?" "We were on the bed, and we were, like, rolling around." "I was just saying to her, "Look--"" "Rolling around?" "Hold on, what do you mean, "Rolling around"?" "Rolling around." "I was holding her and rolling around and like, you know, we were yelling at each other." "( Stammers ) It's a very emotional thing." "All I want is for her to stay with me." "All I want is for her to see that, you know, things can be good." "Things can be good with our relationship." "All right, boss." "What's your first name?" " ( Quietly ) Drake." " What is it?" "Drake." "( Sniffles )" "This fight was mostly my fault." "I'm the one who was screaming at the top of my lungs." "I'm the one" "What was the" " I know you probably told this deputy, but what was the argument over?" "It was over a ton of different stuff." "Like I said, I'm six months pregnant," "I'm going through tons of different hormones" "Is it his child?" " Yes, it is." " Okay." "We're about to have a baby in two months." " ( Sobbing )" " What was the argument over?" "Uh... stuff that happened in the past." "Did you guys fight each other?" " Did you get physical tonight?" " No." "You weren't rolling around in the bed, or slapping, or kicking..." " No." " ...punching, pushing?" "No, he-- at one point he, uh..." "No, no." "At one point he had hugged me down on the bed." "I was talking about leaving." "I was screaming at the top of my lungs, talking about leaving, and he wrapped his arms around me and tried to hug me down on the bed and was trying to calm me down, and I got really emotional." "I was trying to push him off me." "After you said you wanted to leave?" "I was trying to leave the house." "( Sighs )" "Okay." "Hold your arms out for me." " Hold my arms out?" " Yeah." "Yeah, no, I" "I don't have any." "Turn them over." "Yeah, there's tattoos." "I don't have any" "Where's the, uh-- You got some blood on your finger." " That's from my, uh" " Where's the blood from on your finger?" "I actually think it's from gardening outside earlier." " ( Mumbling )" " What, Drake?" "Drake:" "Please tell me you love me still." "Of course I love you still." "Drake:" "Tell them that there was no unwanted touch." "No, there wasn't." "Give me the phone, Drake, so I can call your mom." "I swear, we weren't trying to hurt each other." "It was mostly me who was raising my voice." "I understand that, but you gotta look at the fact that... he put his hands on you and tried to hold you down on the bed." "Okay, but he didn't try to hurt me." "He wrapped his arms around me, like, hugging me." "And you were trying to get up is what you said, 'cause you were gonna leave him, and he didn't want you to do that, so then he put his hands on you to hold you from doing that." "He wasn't putting his hands on me." "He wrapped his arms around me like a hug." "Hey, Drake." "So you know why you're going to jail tonight?" "Not really." "You guys were arguing about your cheating issues, and yelling and screaming got to you jumping on top of her, holding her down, or whatever that case is." "Mm, that never happened." " It never happened?" " No." "She told you it never happened." "I told you it never happened." "So why am I being arrested?" "( Stammers ) You mean to tell me now she's telling me that... you never held her down on the bed?" "No, she told you that I hugged her and laid on top of her." " I heard her from over there." " Yes, of course that's what she said, but that's obviously not what happened." "That is what happened" "We can articulate that obviously that is not what happened." " Okay, well you can..." " When someone is yelling" "Listen, hold on, Drake." " ...articulate whatever you want." " Drake, listen." "When someone is yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs," ""Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Get off me!"" "And then somebody has to wake up" "But she does that-- like, go up to her and ask her whenever I hug her when she's mad, what she yells." "She says, "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Get off me!"" "And why don't you?" "Because I want to show her that I love her." "I understand that, but when somebody is telling you to get off of me" "When it's a spouse-- a fiancee and her-- two fiancees lying in bed, and they're holding each other, rolling around, arguing," "I don't think that that would constitute" "A neighbor had to wake up from people yelling and screaming" " inside of a residence as I" " Oh, yeah, the noise." "As I was walking up," "I could hear yelling and screaming." "Honestly, the most this will get is a noise disturbance." "I mean..." " this was obviously" " I don't think there's a crime for a noise disturbance." "You're going to jail for domestic battery." "Okay, so I'm going to jail for a crime I didn't commit?" "Well, that's something you can prove in court, okay?" "( Door shuts )" "Showman:" "I patrolled the east side of town pretty early on in my career." "Which could be a little awkward 'cause I was born and raised here, went to high school, and a lot of times was running into people that I grew up with." "Played sports and athletics with." "But being able to kind of give back to the community that I grew up in, take a special interest in," "I really enjoy that." "I'm pretty sure they just did a dope deal with the guy." "Guy walks up to him, less than a minute, they sit and talk at the passenger's side." "He walks back to his car and takes off." "And then they pulled in here." "Sit in the car." "Sit in the car, now." "( Car door closes )" "How you doing?" " I'm all right." " Good." "The reason I stopped you is your cracked windshield, your plates don't come back on this car." "Okay?" "Yeah." "Do you have your ID and insurance?" " I don't have no insurance." " You don't have any insurance?" " No, sir." " Okay." "Do me a favor, fellas." "Nothing personal." "Just procedure." "Would you put your hands on the wheel for me?" "Put your hands up on the dash for me." "All right, guys, hang tight for me." "Keep your hands right there for me, all right?" "I'm gonna run 'em, see if they have warrants." "Officer over radio:" "15, go ahead." "He's a player in the dope game, so..." "Go ahead." "( Police sirens wailing )" "Stolen car." "Showman:" "Driver!" "Step out of the car and keep your hands visible." "Drop everything in your hands, just set it down." "( Police radio chatter )" "Walk back to the sound of my voice." "Keep your hands up." "Stop right there." "Lift your shirt up." "Turn around slow." "Stop right there." "Okay, walk back to the sound of my voice." "Keep coming, keep coming." "Keep coming." "Stop right there." "Go down to your knees." "Hands on top of your head." "Showman:" "Step out of the car and keep your hands visible for me." "Walk back to the sound of my voice." "( Police sirens wailing )" "Keep coming." "Keep coming." "You got him?" "Onstott:" "Yeah, keep coming back." "Two more steps." "Stop." "Put your hands on top of your head." "Go down to your knees." "What's this about?" "I'll let you know." "Hold on." "I just got out of jail, I shouldn't have no warrants." "Well, we don't know about that right now." "What you're gonna do is you're gonna stand up and you're gonna walk backwards with me, all right?" "Showman:" "I wouldn't be surprised at all if we find dope in the car, too." "What's the deal?" "Okay, the deal on the car is" " Uh-huh." " I just bought it from Louise." " Okay?" " Okay." "Not too long ago." "I got a receipt and everything for it." " Okay." " You know what I'm saying?" "I gave him 1275 bucks." " Uh-huh." " You know what I'm saying?" " Yeah." " So for that car to come back stolen," " that's wrong, man." " Okay." "I swear to you." " Okay." " I did not" "I've never stolen a car." "I've never done nothing like that." "You know what I'm saying?" " Okay." " So..." "What about all the stuff in the back of the car?" " That's all mine." " Is that all your stuff?" " Yeah, that's all my stuff." " Okay." "I promise you, man." "I'm not lying about nothing." "All right, hang tight for me." "We'll try to get this all squared away and figured out for you." "Just please figure that out." "I don't want to get in trouble for that." "I understand that, man." "We'll do our best, all right?" "Okay, let me double check this a little bit." "( Rustling )" "All that stuff in the back, I'm assuming is" "He's saying it's all his, but it's not." " Okay." "Well, that's" " I mean...." "Most people don't run around with big screen TV's in their backseat." "Can't find anything, so..." "Nothing that says it's" "There's no receipt, there's nothing." "Okay." "We're gonna just check under the seat here where the dog indicated." "For drugs." "Okay." "Oh." "Looks like we're gonna have some marijuana." "And we'll, uh... we'll run a test on it to confirm." "There's actually a little tip of a bag right down here." "Oh my God!" "( Exhales )" "Yeah, we're gonna have something." "I'm guessing that's either" "Yeah, it's gonna be crystal meth, I believe." "We'll also run a test on that to confirm it." "Okay." "That was under your seat." "Under mine?" "Yep, and this was right in your console, man." "Under my seat?" "Under your seat." " My driver's side seat?" " Your driver's seat." "This was in the console." "Middle console." "I don't what even that is." "Okay." "All right." " The top one..." " Uh-huh?" "I won't lie to you, that is mine." "Which one?" "The one that was under my seat." "Okay, I thought you didn't know what that was either." "No." "No, I know what that is." " That's weed." " Oh, okay." "And that's yours?" " Yeah, it's mine." " All right." "But that, whatever the fuck that is," "I have no idea." "I don't" " It's not mine." " Okay." "Go ahead and step out for me." "Okay." "Anything illegal on you?" " No." " Anything that's gonna poke or stick me?" " No, sir." " Okay." "( Suspect clears throat )" "I've kind of already explained to you" "Whoa." "That just looks like a whole lot, it's not." " There's a bunch of ones, too." " Yeah, okay." "Well, we're gonna count it all to you." " Mm-hmm." " Okay." "I'm gonna leave it right here." "Oh." "They're just little baggies." "Mm-hmm." "For jewelry." "That was what had rings in it when I took my ex-old lady's rings to the pawn shop." "Yeah, we're probably gonna confiscate the cash." "But why, man?" "Because you have a bunch of drugs." "Are you serious right now?" "You have a bunch of individual baggies." "Yeah." "That looks like distribution to me, man." " That's not distribution." " Okay." " I don't do that, man." " Okay." "You guys are putting me on for a stolen car and all this other stuff, but it's not mine." " Yes, sir, we are." " It's not all me." "Okay." "Put you on a 24-hour hold, you can explain everything to the detectives and we'll go from there, okay?" "Officer over radio:" "132 and Bush." "I've got him at gunpoint."
