"♪" "Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement." "All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." "My dad used to be a cop; he just retired two years ago." "Since I was probably as old as I can remember, it's all I've ever wanted to do." "You know, a lot of family friends are police officers." "My dad, like I said, was a police officer." "My cousin, he's also a police officer still back in New York." "So, growing up around it, it's all I've ever really wanted to do." "We've got this guy over here on the bike, looks like he's over the age of 16." "He's not allowed to be on the sidewalk, so let's go over here and talk to him, see what's up." "184, we're gonna be speaking to one on a bike, 1200 block 25." "Come here, man." "Be advised, he's not stopping." "Go ahead, get out." "Attaboy." "Don't move." " What are you doing..." " Hands behind your back." "Hands behind your back or you're gonna get tased." "Get your hand up." "I got you." "Pull my pants up, man." "Pull my pants up." "Stop moving." "Put your hands behind your back." "Get him." "He got a gun on him." "We're getting him..." "right now." "He got a gun on him." " I see it, I see it." " Gun in my pocket." "184, we're at 25 and Oak, standby." "My radio ripped off." "I got it." "184, you can open up the channel." "We got one detained." "We're at 25 and Oak." "25 and Oak." "184, how do you copy this channel?" "This gentleman, we know him." "He's one of our locals." "He was riding his bike on a sidewalk, didn't want to stop for us." "When we got him down, he had a gun in his pocket." "This right here." "It's gonna be revolver." "I'm not sure if it's loaded yet." "I'll take a look at it in a minute." "I'm gonna put you in here, all right?" "Come on." "Go on this side, all right?" "Come on." "Come on." "That was the only thing you had on you?" "Yeah." "You didn't get hurt in the scuffle or nothing, did you?" "No." "Usually pants are too big on people, man, yours..." "They feel bigger when I get them up like that, you know?" "Yeah, I got you." "That's a good idea to keep them up there." "All right, go have a seat." "Watch your head." "Can I put my feet in?" "Yeah, go ahead, put your feet in." "Wanted to talk to him 'cause he's riding on his bike, bike on the sidewalk, and, uh, he just kept going." "And, uh, ran, chased him, caught him, got him to the ground." "He had a gun in his pocket." "I want to check the gun that he had, make sure it's safe and see if it's stolen or if it's even got a serial number on it." "From the looks of it, it'll hold eight .22 caliber shells." "It's got four in it, so it was loaded and ready to go." "Something Arminius." "It's a generic model." "It's got a serial number on it, so we'll try to run it and see if we can get something off of it." "Went to put his hands behind his back and rolled him over, he had a gun in his pocket." "That's the reason why he didn't want to stop for us, man." "But we got him, and it was loaded, ready to go, so, uh..." "We're pretty sure he is." "We dealt with him before; he had an original felony charge that my partner remembers him being convicted on, so just want to double check." "Yeah, we're gonna check his criminal history, see if he is, in fact, a convicted felon." "Um, I distinctly remember I arrested him for an Ecstasy case, and Ecstasy is a felony." "He's gonna get charged with concealed weapon no matter what, but the difference is if he's got a concealed weapon, we can release him on a summons for it, because it's a misdemeanor." "However, if we can get him with the firearm by felon, then it's gonna be a felony, and he'll go over town for that and spend the night in jail." "I feel you, man." "Look, man, how many times you dealt with me?" "You know we was gonna stop you, tell you that you can't ride on the sidewalk and that was gonna be that." "You would have been better off not even running and stop and talk to me." "Am I right or wrong?" "I ain't never did you dirty, have I?" "How many times I talk to you?" "I talk to you almost every time I see you." "You a felon?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" " I don't know yet." " You don't know?" "Did you get convicted?" "I got caught with a gun when I was younger." "It was a misdemeanor, though." "It was juvenile?" "Yeah." "You don't have no other felony charges?" "Not that I know of." "All right, well, here's the deal, okay?" "Right now, what we're gonna do, you know we're gonna check you for felonies, see if you're a felon, if it come back." "If it comes back that you're a felon, you know, obviously, you got to get the firearm by felon." "If you're not a felon, you're gonna get a concealed weapons charge, and you're gonna be cut loose on a, um, summons." "All right?" "I mean, you know, I ain't giving no grief for running, you know what I mean?" "It is what it is." "You know what I mean?" "I'm telling you, man, the only reason I walk around with a gun on me is 'cause I need to." "Like y'all know me, people know me, and they know me in ways that I care less to even..." "Know what I'm saying, like, it's serious." "The only reason I got my gun is 'cause I'm not about to be a statistic." "I got four kids I got to make it home to." "I feel you." "I know you got kids, man." "At the same time, y'all say call the police; police gonna look out for you." "That might be true and everything, but y'all don't get there on time every time." "I used to live a crazier life than what I'm living now." "That's the first time you've ever run from me." "Or from us." "That's the only reason, 'cause I had that gun." "Other than that, I wouldn't have even ran, you know?" "Normally I don't do no running." "To be honest with you, I was shocked when you didn't stop." "I knew it had to be for a reason; every time I approach you, you stop and talk to me." "Even when you don't want to talk to nobody else, you stop and at least talk to me." "All right, well, I just got off the line with dispatch." "He's got a prior concealed weapon in '09, so we'll truck him for the felony concealed weapon." "Um, go from there." "Sounds good, so I'm gonna get Griffin to transport him down to booking and we meet him down there to write up the affidavit, concealed weapon, second offense." "All right, sounds good." "Growing up, both my parents, they were police officers for the city of Hollywood." "They had opposite shifts, so I remember whenever they would come home, I could pretty much hear different stories, each day what they'd do, how they handled it." "I just always remember being interested in law enforcement and, you know, just being excited to hear what happened to 'em that day." "2700 block, got a subject that snapped somebody's chain." "Right now we have a possible burglary in progress;" "people breaking windows." "We're just en route right now." "We're setting up a box to keep 'em contained in the area." "1204 and 5, we're gonna be going 97 in the area." "Can you give us a suspect description again?" "White male, black male, anything?" "65." "Come here, man, come here!" "No!" "Don't you go in that house!" "Get down on the ground!" "Get down on the ground, both of you!" "Get down on the ground!" "We have people in the house, too." "Get down on the ground face-first." "Get on your belly!" "That's my son, he's fine." "No, he's fine." "He just walked by the house." "He's fine." "Face-first, just stay still." "Just stay still." "I'm the father." "Just stay here." "We got people in the house." "We got a dog inside." "That's my son." "He doesn't live here." "That's my son." "Sir, I need to be rushed to the hospital." "I punched the window, and it's bad." "How bad is it?" " Real bad." " Real bad?" "Yeah." "Who else is in the house?" "Hey, who else is in there?" "Blues, come here!" "Can I grab her?" "Can I grab her?" "One of you can go grab her." "Blues, come here." "Blues, come here." "Blues, come here." "Come here, Blues." "Come here." "Ellis, you can grab her." "There's nobody in here?" "Just hold onto her." "Have a seat." "I got this bathroom." "We're clearing this bathroom, Jon." "Come on." "All right, go, go, go." "I got this one." "Go with him." "This is clear." "All right, we're good." "He throw an object through here?" " And then he punched the wall, which is... - ...on the side of the house right over there." "Okay, I'm gonna go see." "Careful." "Everybody else is okay besides that?" "Got paramedics coming for him?" "Yeah, we do." " You live here also?" " Yes." "Who else?" "My son Colby, my son Matthew and my son Elijah." "They are all my sons and they all live here, he does not." "All right." "That's your son you said?" "Yes." " He's the oldest?" " Yes." "When did he come over?" " Today, just now." " Just now?" "We're moving in, and he tried to follow us." "Everybody lives here?" " Except for him." " Except for him." "He's been stalking the family." "We asked him to leave." "You know, we gave him five minutes to leave..." "Before you called the cops." "Right." "I didn't want to call the police." "I understand." "The next thing I know, something come flying through the kitchen window." "Smashed out the window." "Immediately we called 911." "The next window went and then the side window went." "Okay, so he started breaking out all the windows?" "That's why we were huddling in the house." "And I'm, like, freaking out." "Was he saying anything to you guys while he's breaking it, or you were just trying to stay away from him 'cause he was...?" "No." "We were inside, he was outside." "He was just smashing out windows." "Okay." "That's all I know." "And then how'd his hand get cut?" "Obviously, by punching out a window." "You know, you said he threw something, so if he..." "Well, that was through the front." "Something came through the back window." " The rest, I'm assuming..." " What was the..." "You said that he had trouble in the past." "Was it against you guys?" "Is that towards the family?" " Yes." " All right." "He's not welcome with us." "He already previously stole a TV from us." "Okay." "And he just... we just don't like him being here because he starts problems and he breaks into our house and takes shit that doesn't belong to him." "So he'll steal from you if he comes into the house and everything like that?" "So he's done that in the past to you?" "All right." "Did he come over asking for anything?" "Nothing?" " No." " All right." "You need to be looked at by medical?" "Did they already ask you?" "Do you want them to look at you?" "No, I should be fine." "Okay." "He's the only one that got tackled." "I just pulled Alex off." "He got tackled?" "Any you pulled...?" "I pulled Alex because I saw him." "And he has a back injury, so I pulled Alex off him." "Then Alex started coming at me, and I just backed up." "All right." "This is the oldest son." "He's been having drug abuse problems, and they told him he's not allowed to stay here anymore." "He came over today and he just started throwing stuff through the windows." "And then he punched another window and cut himself pretty severely." "The one brother came outside to try to stop him, and I guess that's when he got tackled by the oldest one." "Then the other one jumped on top to separate 'em." "I guess he's got a little bit of a cut on his leg, but he seems to be fine." "These charges are gonna be throwing a deadly missile into an occupied dwelling;" "definitely criminal mischief." "Hey, Dad, do you know what drugs he's using?" "Blues, Ecstasy, uh..." "'Cause he brags about it." "Whatever "beans" are, pot." "Pretty much anything he can get his hands on that'll get him high." "Exactly." "Have you guys tried to help him out lately until you...?" "I've given him bus fare, I've given him money." "I've fed him." "Some money here and there for...?" "The last apartment we lived down the street, I took him in." "I fed him breakfast." "I gave him a few dollars." "I tried to reason with him." "We lived in a house over in Andrews Gardens." "He busted furniture in there, broke windows, same nonsense." "Okay." "Soon as I give him a few dollars, he comes back with a four-pack." "This is his MO." "So, he'll just pretty much tell you guys," ""I need, you know, fare or food money," and he'll just go spend it on something else?" "All right." "I can't jeopardize the rest of my children for his behavior." "Are you having any problems like this with any of your other boys?" "No." " I mean, they all look..." " No, they're all clean." "When they were younger, they used to look up to him." "Now what do they see?" "Yeah, absolutely." "We're gonna try to find some programs for you guys, for your immediate family, all right?" "Thank you so much." "Hey, any time." "That's what we're here for." "Thank you." "Lots of luck, okay?" "God bless." "You guys be safe." "You're always in the front lines." "Let's go see if we can get his side of the story." "What happened at your house today?" "At my house?" "At your dad's house with all your brothers and your dad?" "I don't remember." "You don't remember what happened?" "Do you remember how you got hurt?" "Yeah." "How'd you get hurt?" "Breaking a window." "What happened?" "Why'd you get upset and start breaking windows?" "'Cause he was smiling in my face and eating tacos in front of me." "'Cause he was what in your face?" "Smiling in front of me." "Well, your dad and your brothers are really concerned about you, want to get you some help." "But you know, when you start acting like that, it's a little hard to help you, you know what I mean?" "You're gonna be going to the BSO main jail right now." "And once you get done with that, you gotta clean yourself up and talk to your family and see if they're willing to help you out more, all right?" "In the city of Lake Worth, here, we get a lot of different type of calls that you never know how they're gonna turn out." "You could be dispatched to a certain type of call, and it turns out to be something completely different, to where you need to call in other resources, or other help from other districts in the county, and it's..." "you always gotta be prepared." "You never know what's gonna happen." "She could advise that she could hear him shooting off a gun in the background." "Apparently the father then told her that he put five bullet holes in the doors already, and then shot it off again." "We're responding to a domestic disturbance where the... uh, child's father was firing a firearm off inside the house, so..." "We're gonna go and see what we can find." "...position to receive her, I want her to come out of the door." "14 Bravo 22 to 206." "Do you want us to just go ahead and close down A Street?" "The unit on 7th North and Allison..." "just block it?" "Just keep to the intersection, so they can't see your car." "We've got the house surrounded, and right now we're trying to make contact with the caller." "Apparently he is there alone." "Is there any crime in this?" "Or is this... apparently, the guy's supposed to be shooting in his house." "Shooting up his house, that's all we got so far." "Via phone call." "Yeah." "We got lights on, stand by." "Call him out." "Walk this way, sir!" "Sheriff's office, come this way." "Walk this way." "I'm coming." "Walk this way." "Keep coming." "Got a dog." "Keep coming." "Close the door." "Sir!" "He's..." "he's closing the door." "Listen to me." "Walk this way!" "I have the phone." "Have him pick up the phone." "Come over here!" "Come this way!" "Walk towards the flashlight!" "Walk towards the flashlight." "He's coming out to the sidewalk." "Walk this way, sir." " Keep coming." " Yes." "Keep coming." "I've got my phone here." "All right, come on." "Put your hands up, put your hands up." "Put your hands up." "Turn around, look away from me." "Turn around!" "What the hell did I do?" "Turn around." "Huh?" "Reach higher." "What?" "Get down on your knees." "I can't, I'm crippled." "Okay." "Let's use contact." "I've got a heart condition." "Look away from my voice!" "Steve, go ahead." "Steve, go ahead." "Move up." "I'm a heart condition." "Okay." "Give me your other hand." "Put it behind your back." "Turn around, turn around!" "Turn around!" "Okay, okay." "What did I do?" "Anybody else in the house?" "Watch your step." "Anybody else in the house?" "No, sir." "My dog's in the house!" "Steve, do you want me to take him when you get clear?" "I'm gonna fall down." "Step back here, sir." "What?" "Step back here, close to these cars." "Step with me, okay?" "Okay, all right." "They said they wouldn't throw me to the floor." "Okay, come over here." "I swear to God, I'm your friend." "Here." "Come over here and just sit right here." "I'm your friend." "Let me ask you something, so do you live here alone?" "Yes, sir." "Okay." "And you do have weapons?" "Yes, I do." "When's the last time you went shooting?" "You go to the range here?" "No, I don't go to the range." "What do you do?" "I got..." "I got, uh, a Mini-14 in the gun safe..." "Wow, you got a Mini-14?" " Nice." " Yeah." "I got a Ruger P95 I keep in there." "Okay." "And, uh..." "I don't..." "I don't shoot these." "Okay." "So when's the last time you shot those?" "When's the last time you went shooting?" "I-I think the last time I shot was nine..." "over a year ago." "Wow, wow." "Yeah." "So let me ask you..." "tonight you weren't, like, in the house, and just kind of upset at your sis..." "or your daughter?" "Right." "Were you upset at your daughter tonight, on the phone?" "No!" " She upset you..." " I called my daughter, and I says, "What's going on, Pook?"" "I call her Pookie." "Yeah, a metal door right here, guys." "But I would expect to see a hole in the screen." "There is no hole in the screen that I see." "Well, there's a pretty good chance that he didn't fire at this door." "Hey, here's the discharged shells." "A P95, Ruger .9 mil." "Intriguing." " That's right there." "There's the gun." " Yep." "All right, is this the way you found the gun, here?" "Yeah, we found this black Ruger .9 millimeter sitting here with five shots from it." "Okay." "...into the door." "One casing found right here." "An extra magazine with an axe up there in the front corner." "Okay." "We're gonna try to get in the safe, here, and remove the rest of his firearms, and we're gonna go ahead and Baker Act him." "I'll take him down to the South County Mental Health and have him evaluated." "Sir?" "Hi, buddy." "Hey." "You told Deputy Brown here that, uh, you didn't fire off your gun" " tonight, and you..." " I might've did it by accident." "You might've?" " While I was cleaning it." " Okay." "Well, you... we found five casings that you shot off into the front door." " Right... okay." " We found your gun, and we found your..." "Yeah, you remember." " ...the magazine, and..." " You remember that." "I don't remember." "You remember all that?" "Yeah." "The average person doesn't shoot guns into a door." "You understand?" "Right." "So they're gonna make sure..." "all right, all right." "I was cleaning the thing." "I know, but you know what, five bullets is not really cleaning." "That's 'cause you were a little bit upset." "Yeah, but it was a slamfire." "I know, I know, boom- boom-boom-boom, I understand." "Yeah, slamfire." "Got you, got you." "But guess what?" "He's gonna make sure you get evaluated, and you get released tomorrow, okay?" "Tomorrow?" "Yeah." "As long as the doctor says you're good." "All right?" " How am I gonna get home?" " Don't worry about that." "We'll worry about that tomorrow." "That's not important right now." "Sir, what's the combination to your safe?" "What safe?" " Your safe in..." " My gun safe?" "Yeah." "Yeah, where you keep your Mini-14." "Why do I gotta tell you the combination?" "Because we want to make sure, based on..." "I got it written down over there, I'm not sure." " Listen, based on your evaluation..." " Right." "...we have to make sure you're safe." "I'm not sure what it is." "I got it written down." "Where..." "where is it written?" "It's written on the desk on a pad." "On a yellow pad?" " Yeah..." " Hold on, I'm gonna find it here." "Give me a second." "Did you lock my house?" "It's not locked yet, we're still looking..." "You gotta lock my house!" "We will lock it up." "And Abby, she won't bite you." "No, Abby's a nice puppy." "Is that the code to your, uh, safe?" "58... that's it." "That's my gun safe." "Have a seat here, sir." "Thank you." "I'm getting in..." "I'm getting in the car." "Sir." "Explain to me again what happened." "You were cleaning your gun, and it went off, is that what you're..." "Yeah." "And it slamfired five times." "So it accidentally went off five times?" "Bam-bam-bam-bam-bam!" "Yeah." "Well, you know, we had a lot of deputies come out here tonight because of this." "I know it, I'm sorry." "Yeah?" "Well, you're okay, right?" "You're not hurt?" "No." "Okay." "All right, sit tight and I'll be with you in a little bit, okay?" "We got air conditioner in here?" "Oh, yeah, it's coming on right now." "We'll get you some AC." "Okay." "We're just gonna take his firearms and put them into safe-keeping at the sheriff's office, so..." "He's gonna be Baker Acted and taken to South County Mental" "Health for evaluation." "You can see he shot five holes down there in his door, and you can see the disarray of the residence, and he's not taking care of himself in the proper way that he should, and he's" "extremely intoxicated." "And being as impaired as he is, with a firearm, shooting in his house, he definitely needs to go get evaluated and talk to some doctors and get some psychiatric help." "132 and Bush." "I've got him at gunpoint." "At gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is Code Three."
