" Looks like he saw our officer pulled over on the side of the road, so he took a turn eastbound to avoid the sticks." "We don't have a whole lot of traffic out right now, so keep it going for now."

" Okay." " I don't know him." "I don't know him." " You need to tell us what he looks like." " He looks..." "like a Mexican." " What kind of clothes is he wearing?" " You don't know because..." " Black pants." " Because there was no other driver." "That's why you can't think of who he was." " No, I promise." "I promise." "Please, I promise." "I promise." "I'll get down on my hands and my knees!" " Then you tell us what'd he look like, and what he's wearing." " In the name of Jesus, please!" " Listen, when you stopped your car, we had an officer on the left side..." "No, listen." " I tried." " We had an officer on the left side, the right side of you, and one behind you, so where does the driver go if the doors don't open?" " Okay, and I promise to you, I promise!" " Okay." " Please, sir!" " Calm down, calm down." " I promise!" " Stop yelling at me, calm down." "Okay?" " Because I was going home and my friend was catching the bus." "We were catching the..."

" 18 years old, you're an adult, right?" "So you're looking at two very adult charges." "Felony elude, running from the cops." "Assault One, trying to run over a deputy when you guys cut through that person's yard." "Okay, and right now, both of you are going down with that." " I didn't do it." " Okay, if you didn't do it, who did it?" "If you're trying to protect your friend, it's probably not a good idea." " 'Cause she's not protecting you." "We're trying to give you an opportunity to tell the truth." "Any friend that put you in this spot, they are not worth this." "We can start over again, if you want to." " We weren't driving." "Like, it was that Mexican dude." " Okay." "The guy that the dog tracked and couldn't find?" " We're done." " We're done here." " Please?" " Nope." "Here." "Square one." "Ready?" "It's a yes or no." "Was Aaliyah driving the vehicle?" " Yes." " Yes?" "Okay." "And what'd she say while she was running from you?" "From us?" " She said she had warrants for her arrest..." "She had warrants." " Okay, which is why she was running?" " Yes." " Okay, did you ever tell her to stop at all?" " Yeah, I told her to stop, to pull over." "She didn't want to pull over." " Okay." "What'd she say when she saw all the deputies?" "Was she freaking out?" " Yes." " What about all of the Stop Sticks?" " She started screaming." " With the Stop Sticks?" " She was..." " She was driving good." "I'll give her that." "Okay, sit tight." "So I got some bad news." "Wendy... told us..." "you were driving the car." " She's lying!" " And you were running because you had warrants for your arrest." " No, I wasn't!" " That's what she told us, she said that." " She's..." "Look at me." "Are you kidding me?" "I was praying in the backseat the whole time." " Okay." " No!" "No, that's a lie." " I'm believing her." " That's a lie." " I was not in the front seat." "Why is she lying?" " We saw you in the front seat." " She probably..." "Oh, she probably likes him." " All right, so right now your charges are Assault One for trying to run over the deputy in the field there, and felony elude." " I didn't do this!" "I'm being honest." " Sit tight." " (door closes)" " Officer:" "I've been with the police officers here in Austin 25 years." "I've come to learn that as long as I've been here," "I know I helped a lot of people that needed the assistance that they couldn't have gotten from anybody else." "In that sense, it's been very satisfying for me." "Okay, I'm gonna initiate a traffic stop on this vehicle." "It, uh..." "It's obvious that it's been involved in a crash." "I got him lit up." "(plastic crunches)" " Henry, 4-5, I got a black Chevrolet pickup, looked like he might have hit a vehicle down the street." "There's pieces falling off the front end, so... we're gonna try to stop this vehicle before it creates any more damage out here on the street." "(Radio Chatter)" " GPS:" "Your incident has been updated." " Stop your vehicle!" " I am." " GPS:" "Your incident has been updated." " There's a lot of traffic, sir." " We got us a problem here, all right?" "You know you hit something, right?" " Yes, I do." " What did you hit back there and where?" " Uh..." " (sirens wail)" "They basically braked on me and I had to brake behind them." " Who-who braked on you?" " Whoever... braked on me." " (kids crying)" " They went away." " Turn the car off." " Can I call my dad?" "I need to call him." " Okay." " He'll fix it." "I'm dropping his car off to his house, my car is there." "On Airport." "And then he'll drive me back home." " Okay, because you're coming down Burton." " Yeah, 'cause I had to pick up some Pampers from my dad's house." "Their grandpa, he had some Pampers for me." "So that's where I was coming from." " Okay." " I was gonna drop his car off and then he was gonna drive me home..." " Okay." " In my car." "My car is at his house." " And you said this is not your truck, right?" " No, it's his truck." " Okay, all right." "Just give me a minute here." " Man on Radio:" "She hit a Capital Metro bus." "I just submitted her front plate as evidence." " That's a 10-4." " Apparently, she hit a Capital Metro bus and apparently took the side out of it." "This vehicle has got complete front end damage." "Seems like non-drivable, but it was driving." "And also, we have two small children in the vehicle." " Having a hard time with your seatbelt?" " Yeah." " How'd you put it on?" " No, I had double-wrapped it." " Why would you double-wrap a seatbelt?" " So I'm going to jail tonight?" "I gotta call my dad to pick up my car." " Okay." "I don't think the vehicle's gonna go any further." "And we got EMS checking on the two children because of the extent of damage on that vehicle." "I'm not sure whether she was drinking alcohol or not, so we're gonna find out what all we got." "We're not getting any indicators that she was consuming alcohol, but... it's obvious she has a lot of marijuana residue in the vehicle." " There's two bags of marijuana in the diaper bag." " The diaper bag, out of all things." " Yep." " Let me ask you, did you take any drugs today at all?" " No." " Be honest with me." " No, I'm gonna be honest." "I smoked a blunt earlier today." "Yeah, I'm gonna be honest." " How earlier was that?" " Hmm..." "Maybe about 9:30, before I went to work." "9:30, what?" "A.M, P.M.?" " A.M." " Okay." " And we've got someone, I hope, coming for the children." " My dad." " Your dad?" " Sir, how you doing?" " I was trying to locate her." " I want you to see the front end of the vehicle." "This is how she was driving." "And she's got two children in the back." " You see what I'm saying?" " No." "This is how she's driving the vehicle." "And I'm trying to pull her over." "Okay?" "And of course, she's got marijuana in the diaper bag, she's got marijuana in the console." "We do know that she was involved in two separate leaving-the-scene accidents." "She hit a Cap." "Metro bus." "She flips them off and just drives away." "And she hit three additional vehicles that are on Burton." "Just so you know." "Okay?" " Just when she went to rehab." "I'm always on her, man." " Yes, Dad." "I never listen to you, always is the hard way." "You know, I pay my bills, so..." " How many bills will you be paying now?" " Oh, they're gonna be paid now." "If you don't want to help me, somebody else will help me." " I didn't say I'm not gonna help you, don't be all dramatic." " You don't gotta have to help me." " Okay?" " So I'm going to jail right now?" " Okay." "All right, sir, thank you." "Appreciate your cooperation." "You know..." " I've raised four daughters." " That's right." " She did good, she got her degrees, she got an award." "I was proud of her." " I don't always have your help, Dad." "You got a lot of other stuff going on." " I'm not gonna." " All right, sir, thank you." " All right, have a good night." " Desiree..." " So I'm going to jail?" " What?" " If I can get the old man to pay for it, then the warrant will be tooken care of." " I understand, Desiree, but you do understand you're going to jail and you're being charged..." "with D.W.I." " But I'm not drinking." "My thingie wasn't even..." " I understand." "You're high on some kind of..." " Oh." "Weed." " You're high on weed." "Okay, it's the same thing." "The charge will be the same." "Plus, you had children." " I got an older man that's gonna pay all my warrants off." " Desiree..." " My last one is gonna be..." "My-My concern is my kids can't live without me." " Okay." "Well, Desiree, if they can't live without you, why are you driving around..." "high on drugs, high on marijuana?" "You were involved in an accident that we know of." "At 6:00, about 4 or 5 hours ago, you hit a bus." " Right?" " Mm-hmm." " You do remember that?" " Yes." " Were your children in the car then?" " No, they were at daycare." " Oh, okay." "Well, luckily they were in daycare." "But they were in the vehicle when you hit these three other vehicles that were parked on Burton." "Now, don't worry about your children, they're in good hands right now." "Believe." "You're going to jail." "You're being charged with D.W.I." "and you're being charged with Child Endangerment, by the way." " I understand that." "But I have a gentleman..." " Desiree, Desiree." "No, no, Desiree." " He said he'll pay it for me." " Those are..." "You've got traffic warrants." "Why are you worried about paying traffic warrants?" " Those are old traffic warrants." " Okay, I'm trying to tell you what you did today..." " Yes, sir." " And I don't think you're..." "You're not..." "You're worried about somebody paying off traffic citations." " Yes." " And you say you're worried about your kids." " No, it's a warrant for the theft." " Okay, well..." " Yeah." " You..." "Okay." " Yeah, that's it." " You may want to look at some counseling or something 'cause I think you need it." " Officer:" "The one word that totally encapsulizes what this job is to me is honor." "That is, you have to have a certain level of honor to do this job in the first place." "But... the reason why I do this job is to honor my little brother who was killed as the result of a drunk driver." "To honor Deputy Jesse Valdez, who was killed by a woman high on methamphetamine." "You know, to honor all those law enforcement officers who have come before me, who've lost their life doing this." "All right, we got this car ahead of us." "Doesn't have a license plate light." "We're gonna make a traffic stop." "Just let them know it's out." "Hello, sir, Deputy Dowlearn with the Harris County Sheriff's Office." "Hey, the reason why you're being stopped tonight is your license plate light is out." "Okay?" "You got your driver's license and insurance on you?" " I don't have my license with me." "I got a Pennsylvania driver's license number." " Okay, you don't have it with you?" " No, sir." " Do you have insurance on you?" " Uh, she has her insurance." " He's driving me around 'cause I had an operation." " She just had an operation so that's the only reason why I'm driving her around." " M'kay, where y'all coming from?" " I just got off work." "I work down at the Valero." "And we just rode up here by the lake and we was coming back down here to her house." " Until we get you identified, I wanna have you step out, okay?" " I'm not honestly sure." "Like I say, I just..." "She come up there, pick me up, to take me home." " Okay, something ain't making sense about your story." "You told me she just had surgery." " Yes, sir." " Y'all went up to the lake." "What'd y'all go up to the lake for?" "We just drove up by there 'cause she wants to go fishing." " Who is she to you?" " She's just like, a real good friend is all she is." " Real good friend?" " I call her Mama." " All right." "All right, bub, do me a favor, keep your butt on the push bumper." "Okay?" "I'm gonna go talk to her." " Okay." " All right, keeping your voice down, what are y'all doing out here?" " I picked him up at Valero." "He works there." "Then he had a car door." "(mumbles indistinctly)" " All right, why is he telling me y'all are coming from the lake?" " We rode down to the lake." "Turned around and come back." " Why?" " I asked him to take a ride by the lake 'cause I slept all afternoon." "I ain't tired." " M'kay." "Let me just make sure you ain't got no guns on you," "Okay?" "No weapons." "All right, you stay right here, okay?" "Don't go anywhere." "What's your name." " Janet." "Alma." " Alma, or Janet?" " Janet." " Janet?" " J-A-N-E-T." " Okay." "Janet?" " Yeah." "When's the last time weed was in this car?" " Last what?" "What?" " Last time you had weed in this car?" " Weed?" " Yeah, I'm seeing..." " I don't smoke weed." " Well, somebody had weed in your car because there's crumbs of it in the door handle." " Wasn't me." "Maybe him, but wasn't me." " Okay." " Wasn't me." " I'll take a drug test, I don't do weed." "Tell you what, go ahead and place your hands behind your back." "You're gonna be detained right now." "Just because there's two of y'all and one of me." "Okay?" " Wasn't my weed." " Go ahead and turn around, place your hands behind your back." "You're being detained at this time, okay?" "Because I'm finding marijuana residue in the car." " I do not do marijuana, sir." " Okay." " Now, besides that, am I gonna find anything else?" " Shay Shay leave a pipe or anything in there?" " There we go." "What kind of pipe would she have left in there?" " Probably a crack pipe." " Crack pipe." "Where would it be?" " Shay Shay ain't been in that car since yesterday." " Where would it be if there was?" " If it was, it would probably be under the seat." " You saying it was her crack pipe?" " Yes, sir." " Are you a dishwasher at Valero?" " Yes, sir." "I am." " You are?" "Is that why you have the Brillo?" " Yes, sir." " You know I'm being facetious, right?" " I know..." " because they use that for crack pipes." " That's right." "That's..." "M'kay." "All right, y'all hang tight." "Don't go anywhere." "Yeah." "Here we go." "And it looks like there's gonna be a lot of residue on the inside of it." "And it's gonna be a good little trace case for us." " What's going on?" " Hey, Sarge, I pulled this car over on a tag light." " He doesn't have an I.D. with him, so I asked some stuff so I could get him I.D.'ed." " Their stories didn't match." "He says he works at the Valero." "She's saying that she picked him up from the Valero." "He's saying that they came from the lake." " She's saying they're just riding around." "I asked if there was anything illegal in the car, or would be anything illegal." "He's claiming that Shay Shay may have left a crack pipe under the seat." "Um, guess where I found that?" " I don't think Shay Shay did it." " Shay Shay." "So..." "So you don't think Shay Shay left this?" " No, sir." " So do you think he left it?" " Yep." " In Harris County, if they're caught with any amount, no matter if it's residual, what people would call residual amounts, they can actually be charged with it." "So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna test the inside of the pipe by swabbing the inside and using a cocaine test kit." "All right, you're in care, custody, and control of that crack pipe." "Okay?" "You were sitting above it." "Any residue of controlled substance such as cocaine, or methamphetamine, if I can test it and it tests positive for it, you can be charged for possession." " Okay." " Okay?" "So I'm looking for a flash of blue." "Okay." "See that blue color, Jimmy?" " Mm-hmm." " That's a positive test for cocaine." "Okay?" "All right, walk that way." "Pat him down more thoroughly." "Okay." "All right, ma'am, I'm gonna let you go." "Appreciate your cooperation, okay?" "You understand that you easily could have been charged with that?" " I know." " This is your car, right?" "You need to think about who you're letting in your vehicle." "Because this could have went a totally different way." "You could have been the one in the handcuffs." " Can you make sure my car's gonna start?" " Yeah, go ahead and try to start it up." "(mumbling)" "(engine sputters, clicks)" " He left the damn lights on." " All right, I got jumper cables." "Suspect one minute, distressed motorist the next." " 132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint." " Dispatcher:" "Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is code three."
