"All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." "I've been with the Lubbock Police Department since 2003, so coming on my 13th year." "And I'm assigned to the Crime Suppression Unit." "The Crime Suppression Unit for the Lubbock Police Department is pretty much an all-inclusive unit." "If it's drugs, we handle it, if it's thefts, we'll deal with it." "More of an on-view street crimes type unit." "We get out and find the things that are appearing in daily day-to-day life here in Lubbock." "We got a call from a bail bondsman there's a bail jumper that's got warrants out for his arrest-- was in this parking lot." "We're trying to find him now." "I believe he's out on foot here." "All right, he's in the alley, I think, behind Accolade Home Health." "Ooh, can I get through there, can I get through there?" "(radio chatter)" "Yeah, I'm tryin' to get back around, traffic's not helpin'." "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Officer on radio:" "Hey, I'll be right there." "He's runnin'." "Officer on radio:" "Where's he at?" "You better stop!" "(radio chatter)" "Stop!" "Get your hands up!" "Get your hands up!" "Get on the ground!" "Do it now!" "Do exactly as I tell you to!" "Do not move!" "What did I do, though, sir?" "I got a warrant for your arrest." "Don't fight me." "You hear me?" "Yeah." "..." "Hastings." "If you can get off the radio, I'm in the alley behind Accolade Home Health." "I got him down." "You got him?" "I got him in custody." "You got anything else on you?" "No, sir." "All right, sit up." "Hey... buddy, when you got a warrant don't run from me." "Just, just get it over with." "You got the warrant, you earned it, okay?" "Okay?" "So... turn around and face that wall for me." "What kind of warrants do I got?" "I was just told you had three felony warrants, so I don't know if they revoked your parole..." "Felony warrants?" "or what it is, so..." "I don't have felonies, they're misdemeanors." "So... it didn't help that you just ran from us, okay?" "That, that'll, that'll mess up your bond chances." "(mumbling)" "So..." "Nah, they're misdemeanors, sir." "Okay, I don't know." "Like I said, I'm told you have warrants," "I'm goin'" " I gotta go get ya." "Yes, sir." "All right." "So I'm sorry I ruined your day, but that's just the way it goes." "You still usin'..." "every now and then?" "Yeah, y'are." "(sighs) Man." "That's just trash." "Not in the real world it's not." "I mean, maybe in your world, but that's..." "I think it might be molly." "Molly?" "Not Ecstasy and that mixed together, what is it?" "Hey..." "Gus." "Heroin, heroin." "I don't think it's heroin." "I think it might be molly." "Molly." "It's not molly, though, and it's not heroin." "Okay." "Well, like I said, I don't see-- you don't see much stuff looks like brown sugar except for heroin." "Yeah?" "So..." "I don't mess with heroin." "Okay." "Well, I don't know." "You got anything else gonna get you in trouble at the jail?" "No, sir." "All right." "So..." "Looks bright orange." "Bright orange." "Amphetamine." "That means it's positive for methamphetamines." "So..." "You been followin' me for a while?" "Yeah, we been tryin' to catch you for a couple days." "Okay." "Ninety, hundred..." "He has a thing about numbers, he has to count everything." "(chuckling)" "Whoops." "Oh." "Hang on." "Hey." "That ain't real." "That's funny money." "Where'd you get this?" "Where'd you get funny money?" "I just got that from Hastings, sir." "You didn't get that from Hastings." "I promise you, I don't get funny money." "Come on, dude, look at that." "That is-- that is the worst..." "No." "No, no, that is not mine." "That is the worst fifty I've ever seen." "There's no watermark or anything in that." "Man, my problem with that is that's where..." "That stays with me." "..." "I just barely got that." "I didn't have no fifties until I turned that stuff in." "That goes to the bank." "I know, but I'm not giving it back to him." "Man." "You all right?" "Yeah, see, it's not..." "That's not mine, seriously." "It's not even normal size." "I mean, well, you know, I got it from Hastings, I didn't have it..." "Okay, all right." "Slide up in this car, big guy." "Yes, sir." "What'd you buy at Hastings?" "I re-- returned gift cards." "I sold the gift cards to them and they gave me cash back for it." "I got the receipts right here in my pocket." "Okay." "All right, this is the bail bondsman that's been lookin' for you, okay?" "All right, you recognize him?" "Okay." "All right, you know why we're chasin' you, then." "You jumped on Ace Bail Bonds." "I know." "Okay?" "You're goin' on do not bond list all over Lubbock." "Everybody in town already knows not to touch you." "Your co-signer is still on the hook for the money that you owe us." "What was his bond for?" "What charge?" "I've got him on a red light, possession of paraphernalia, a DWI, issuance of a bad check, evade arrest, and a felony theft." "Okay." "There you go." "I guess they upped your theft to a felony." "That's the felony we're hearing." "Damn!" "That's my-- that's a-- okay." "D-- i-i-it may not have been a felony at the time, but if you have priors, they up it." "They'll enhance it." "That was like..." "from a second one..." "Okay, well, it does enhance it, even if it's just a second one, okay?" "Oh." "From the first one on, every time you do it again, it bumps it up, so... so if you had a state jail felony, it bumps it to a third degree,and so on." "You know, and you caught an extra charge this day 'cause you ran." "If you hadn't a ran." "I was..." "I know." "You gotta try, right?" "That's what everybody tells me, "I gotta try."" "All right, man, we'll get you out there and get you booked in, okay?" "Cool." "All right." "So..." "He like a caged animal, he tried to jump this one, and then he tried to jump that one." "But he picked the fence that's like 12-foot tall and couldn't get over it." "Thank the neighbors for big, tall fences." "I love doin' DUI enforcement out here." "It's kind of become my niche." "It's somethin' I'm good at, and it brings me satisfaction to know I'm makin' the roads safer for everybody out here." "Um, it's also nice to be recognized." "I've been recognized three years in a row by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for the work we're doing out here to make the roads safer." "(radio chatter)" "His vehicle just passed us like we were standing still." "He's probably doing 60 in a 45, he's all over the roadway." "Almost hit the curb back there." "I'm gonna follow him for a minute here." "See if we can get a driving pattern." "(radio chatter)" "(radio chatter)" "(radio chatter)" "Yeah, she is all over the road, back and forth, lane to lane, changing' lanes, stopping' way before she has to." "We get past this construction up here, I'm gonna go ahead and do a traffic stop." "Not a good place to stop her right here." "5711, 1050." "Come in, 5711, go ahead." "Be at Swift and Bee Ridge." "(radio chatter)" "(radio chatter)" "Hi, good evening." "Hey, how are you?" "Good." "Deputy Adams of the Sheriff's office." "Do you have any idea why I stopped you?" "Yeah." "Okay, why?" "'Cause I was going, uh, out of the speed limit." "Yeah, you were speeding, I was doing 45, and you passed me like I was standing still, but you're all over the roadway, back and forth, in and out of your lane." "Are you feelin' okay today?" "Yeah, okay, I understand." "You're feelin' all right?" "Yeah." "All right, how much you had to drink today?" "Um, not a lot, I had two drinks, and I'm sure I'm above the limit." "You're above the limit?" "Okay, let me ask you a question, on a scale of zero to 10, zero being stone cold sober, and 10 being passed out drunk, where do you think you're at right now?" "Five." "About a five?" "About halfway there?" "Okay, where are you headed right now, ma'am?" "Well, I'm going to my friend's house." "and I was going there to stay the night, so..." "Okay, do you have a license and registration and proof of insurance with you?" "Absolutely." "Okay, can you grab that for me, please?" "Not a problem." "5711, routine 1094." "10-4, 10-6." "I don't have that, like, with me, but..." "You don't have it with you?" "No." "Okay." "If you find it, just hold it out the window and let me know, I'll be back with you in just a few moments, okay, ma'am?" "Okay, great, thanks." "She's shown multiple indicators of impairment," "I can smell it, I can see it in her eyes." "Um... she says that she's... about halfway to being completely passed out drunk." "Um, so... we've got another unit comin'." "When backup arrives, we're gonna go ahead and do an investigation to see whether or not she made a good choice by driving." "Hey, Ben." "What's goin' on?" "You got the unmarked car." "Yeah." "We're northbound on 41, she sucks the paint off the side of my car." "(whooshing sound) Right by me... cuts over in front of me almost hits the curb and the median, goes back over to the right, almost hits another car in that lane and then corrects it," "and she's been that way all the way up 41 to Bee Ridge, she turned down Bee Ridge." "The same-- same behavior..." "Mm-hmm." "line to line to line to line..." "Mm-hmm." "Pull her over." "She says... she's a five on a scale of zero to ten." "So... we need to get her out and do an investigation, and make sure nobody else cuts through here..." "Yeah." "So... thanks." "You got it." "All right, step out here for a second." "You make sure that she comes to pick me up and take me to her home." "Okay." "All right." "Do you mind if I shut your door here?" "Mm, that's no problem." "Okay." "What I'm gonna have you do is just stand right over here in front of me, just this side of that line." "Put your feet together so your heels" "Come this side of that line for me..." "All right." "put your feet together so your heels and toes are touching" "Sure." "and keep your hands by your side" "Uh-huh." "And you remember to watch the green light and don't move your head, okay?" "No problem." "Look right up here at the tip of the green light for me." "Okay." "Right now, Deputy Adams is checking horizontal gaze nystagmus, and what he's doin' is, whenever you consume alcohol, the-- the eyes have a, a jerking motion, depending on the amount that you've consumed." "The vertical nystagmus that he's lookin' for now is for the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to impairment." "Only the higher blood alcohol levels are gonna have vertical." "Okay." "When I tell you to begin, you're gonna take nine continuous heel-to-toe steps down that line while counting your steps out loud." "Take your first step with your left foot as one... okay?" "Do you understand all those instructions?" "I do." "All right, you may begin." "Okay?" "One..." "As she's walking, he's looking to see if she steps off the line, if she uses her arm, arms for balance, if she doesn't touch heel to toe." "That's gonna be for the first nine steps down the line." "He's gonna see if she turns the way that he instructed..." "Sheriff Adams:" "Just do the best you can and finish the exercise." "and uh, things like that." "Both of your feet should be on that line." "Right in the middle of that line." "Was that... was that what you were asking me to do?" "No ma'am... no." "All right, go ahead and put your hands behind your back, miss." "Unfortunately, at this point, I have to place you under arrest for a DUI." "Okay, I think you made a bad choice by driving today." "I know you were trying to get to your friend's house and be done for the day, but, probably... probably should've taken a cab or somethin' to do that." "Okay?" "(inaudible)" "Once we get down to the jail, I'm gonna ask you to take a breath test." "will you take a breath test?" "I'm gonna think about my position" "Okay... absolutely." "and when we get down to the jail, then I'm gonna answer you" "at that point in time." "Absolutely." "Okay." "Do you have anything in your pockets, sharp, or that's gonna poke me, miss?" "Definitely not." "Okay." "We're gonna go back here to my patrol car, okay?" "Sure." "Walk right over here for me." "Uh-huh." "Watch your head." "Luckily, based on the way she was driving, she didn't hit or kill anybody." "We were in the right place at the right time, and she'll be going down to the jail for at least eight hours." "You know, been doing law enforcement now for about 13 years." "Best job in the world." "Officer safety is paramount." "Number one rule, obviously, go home at the end of the day." "It's different from bein' a fireman, but you do help people" "That's a big part of this job." "They just think we take people to jail." "We help people every single day out here." "(radio chatter)" "We're heading to a battery call at one of the hotels." "A male subject said that he was assaulted by his girlfriend." "(radio chatter)" "This is it right here." "(radio chatter)" "Step out here real quick." "What's goin' on, man?" "Well, she got a little upset about me." "I don't know what she got upset about exactly." "Uh-huh." "All I know, a beer can hit me in the head." "I just cleaned all that beer up." "I've asked her to leave." "Then she put her hands on me again..." "You don't need EMS or anything, do you?" "No, no, no, I'm good, man." "What's y'all's relationship?" "We're girlfriend and boyfriend." "Okay." "Y'all live together?" "No." "We're not at this point, we just-- you know," "I, I got us a room." "Just for the weekend." "Yeah, for the weekend and stuff." "Yeah, okay, I got you, man." "So you guys don't have no kids together or nothin' like that?" "No, no." "Y'all aren't livin' together?" "No, sir." "Okay." "Okay." "Stuff just escalated, man." "Hey, do me a favor." "Step over here real quick." "I'm gonna keep that door open, and I'm gonna make sure you ain't got nothin' on you, man." "We got a dangerous job out here, my man." "That's cool." "Woman:" "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "I'll talk to you in a minute, just sit on the bed." "Okay, I want you to hang out right here." "Okay, what's your name, ma'am?" "Joy." "Hey, Joy... how much you had to drink today?" "About four beers." "Okay." "So make sure you guys can get along rest of the evening." "Anybody ever been arrested in Escambia County, you or the gentleman?" "Me?" "Have I ever been arrested?" "Have you?" "One time." "What about him?" "He's... yeah, yes, sir, I think s--, yeah, he's been arrested." "Anything for domestic violence?" "I don't know, you'd have to ask him about that." "Okay, nothin' with you guys, though." "But we were fine, we're chat-- we were chatting, I mean..." "What's bad enough for him to call 9-1-1, a man, talk about a woman hitting' him?" "Because, we know when you drink alcohol, everything seems more intense than what it really is?" "Yes, I do." "Yes, I do." "Yeah." "That's why you gotta be careful with it." "And everything seems a lot worse than what it really is." "And it's all-- Hey, have a good time." "But I'm sayin'..." "this ain't fun." "Right." "Y'all got anything in here I need to be worried about?" "No, sir." "We don't do drugs." "We just been drinkin' too many beers." "I don't know what his (bleep) problem is." "he's got a attitude problem today." "Okay." "Hey, Joy?" "Come out here real quick." "I just wanna get a little more from him." "I haven't been arg-- she's arguin' with herself, basically, 'cause I was just sittin' at the chair, with my feet kicked up..." "Okay." "And uh, you know, not payin' attention to her," "I guess, made it even more, 'cause I was like," "I don't wanna argue, Joy, I'm just gonna ignore you." "Right." "You know, and she got even more mad about that, and that's when she was like, okay, you ain't gonna pay attention to me?" "She chucked a beer can at me." "Gotcha." "You know..." "And did it-- it struck you in the head?" "Yeah, it grazed me on the back of the head." "Okay." "And uh..." "I say, okay." "That's enough." "All right, I'm mad." "You need to go, you need to leave." "I just asked her to leave, politely." "Right, 'cause it was gettin' to that point where it's getting violent, at that point." "Yeah, exactly, I was like..." "Okay." "you need to leave." "I said this is my room, so I prefer you to leave." "Right." "But then she came again..." "and, when I was sittin' in the chair, not payin' attention again, kinda like, slap me in the back of the head, and roughed me up, like." "Okay." "And then I was like, man, I'm tired of this, you're not gonna keep hittin' me, you're not gonna coax me into hitting' you, either." "'Cause I'm not fallin' for that." "Right." "I'm not, I'm not-- that's, you know, I ain't doin' that no more." "Okay." "Good for you." "Be patient with me just a second." "Ma'am, did you throw a beer bottle and hit him?" "Yeah, I threw it." "I don't know what it hit, but yes, sir, I did throw, um, uh, not a bottle, it was a can." "A can." "Okay, why would he call" "I'm not a violent person, I'm not tryin' to hurt" "What I'm sayin' is" "I'm not tryin' to hurt nobody." "Talk to me." "Talk to me." "What I'm sayin' is, it's bad enough for a grown man to call 9-1-1." "To call 9-1-1 is pretty serious, don't you think?" "No, baby no, I can't hurt him." "I didn't say..." "If I try, if I tried to hurt him, I couldn't." "Well, listen," "here's what concerns me, though." "It was a can, a can of beer." "You guys have a history of domestic violence." "A mini-can, a mini, mini-can, a mini-can of beer." "You threw it." "Yes, sir." "Okay." "Justin, keep an eye on him, she's 1015." "Could you put your cigarette out for me?" "Officer..." "Put your cigarette out for me." "Can we talk for a minute?" "Nope, you're under arrest for battery." "Officer, no, I was..." "Ma'am, you're resisting' arrest right now." "Officer, I haven't done nothing wrong." "Ma'am, you're goin' to jail, it's domestic" "I didn't even hit him with a can." "It's domestic battery." "Okay." "Put your cigarette out." "No, I was just gonna tell you..." "Put your cigarette out, put it out." "Put it out." "Oh, my god." "(sobbing)" "Stand up." "Stand up." "Stand up." "Put your cigarette out for me." "I don't wanna get burned." "Stand up." "Come on." "Stand up." "Why am I goin' to jail, for what?" "'Cause I'm drunk?" "Nope." "Because I had too many beers or what?" "Officer... please." "Kevin, stop it." "Kevin!" "Don't take me to jail!" "Hey, Justin?" "Do you mind transporting' her?" "Stand up and walk like a lady, all right?" "Baby, I'm beggin' you, please, Kevin?" "No..." "Don't jerk away." "Stand up!" "(sobbing, incoherent)" "Goddamn it!" "Stop, stop." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "Okay, yes, sir." "I'm gonna..." "Don't pull away from me!" "Kevin!" "Ma'am, listen." "This is not gonna work." "Kevin!" "Come on, now, you're grown up." "I didn't do nothin'." "You're grown up, it's time to go." "Kevin!" "Kevin!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Oh, god..." "Ma'am, listen." "Kevin!" "Stop!" "Come on, come on." "Ma'am, this is..." "Ma'am, this is not gonna work." "This is not gonna work." "No... no, no!" "You don't need to do this." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Stop!" "No!" "Ma'am!" "No!" "No!" "Hey!" "Just... open that door up, I got, I got her." "No!" "No!" "Baby..." "We'll hobble..." "we'll hobble her if we have to." "Please..." "Kevin!" "Ma'am, stand up!" "Kevin!" "Ma'am, stand up!" "Kevin!" "You're causin' a scene." "This is ridiculous." "No!" "No!" "No!" "No, don't take me to jail." "Hey, kick my car again..." "I haven't done anything." "No." "Don't take me to jail." "Stop." "Stop!" "I haven't done anything." "Stop." "Listen I want you to act like an adult." "I'm not going to act like an adult." "Well, we're going to have to hobble you if you kick and do all that stuff." "Officer, please give me a break right now." "I promise you I didn't try to, you know" "I'm not a mean person." "I can't-- I didn't mean to hit" "I wasn't trying to hit him." "Okay." "Well, the state-- the state's pressing charges." "I'm begging you." "I'm begging you right now." "It's domestic violence, ma'am." "My hands are tied on this." "I'm begging you, please." "Ma'am, I can't." "Yes, you can." "I can't." "Yes, you can." "Something I cannot do is that." "Yes, you can." "You're just being charged with battery domestic violence, okay?" "Officer, I" " I" "Okay, scoot in." "Scoot in." "I don't want to hurt your legs, okay?" "It's gonna work out for the best." "I promise you, okay?" "It's unfortunate she had to go" "Yeah." "But maybe this will be a positive thing for her in the end, 'cause alcohol was an issue." "Exactly." "And it was getting worse." "She wants to stop." "And you made very good judgment." "And, um, that old stigma of a woman can hit a man doesn't suffice here." "We have zero tolerance." "Officer over radio:" "132 and Bush." "I've got him at gunpoint." "Dispatcher:" "Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is code three." "(overlapping police radio chatter)" "Dispatcher:" "Okay, still send a code three."
