"And I didn't know what he had on the other side of him, if he had a gun or anything." "Yeah, and I clearly" " You know, I was worried about y'all." "I didn't know how bad it was pinned." "I could see the car wasn't moving very fast, but" "Yeah, it was in neutral." "I just yelling to let you know it was in neutral." "Yeah, and I was just worried it had y'all pinned in." "So..." "If the motor revved on me, I'd have been, yeah, I'd have been in panic." "Yeah, and clearly, I wasn't letting him up." "Well, you had to." "Hell no!" "I wouldn't have let him up either." "'Cause I didn't know his intentions." "You know, he didn't want to give his hands up." "None of that." "So, off to jail he goes." "Deputy:" "Hillsborough County is pretty unique." "Our sheriff, our agency, we've done a good job of keeping a solid rapport with the community." "Recently we lost an officer and I would be parked at a gas station and somebody would just come up and say, "Hey, we just want to tell you we are sorry." "And we thank you for what you do."" "I mean, we take care of the people who live here and they're very receptive of that." "We're heading to a domestic violence in a apartment complex between a male and a female." "That's all we have." "Dispatch:" "Callback. 3 up, go 17." "Officer over radio:" "Copy." "What's going on?" "It's me you want, sir, you can put me in jail if you want to." "Why do I need to put you in jail?" "Because it's always me." "Look, just tell me what happened today." "I just want my (bleep)." "I just want my money." "I want my teeth, I want my bonus check, and I'll leave." "Did somebody take something from you?" "Yeah, everybody did!" "They did, they got my money." "And this guy over here gots my phone, gots my teeth, and everything." "Yeah." "I work my ass off every mother- (bleep) day!" "Making them little two little pussy-ass mother- (bleep) thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars a day, and I don't see (bleep) and I get in trouble." "And I busted my dad right dead in the face." "I took my teeth out and I busted him right dead in the face with them." "Who'd you hit?" "I hit my dad right dead in the face." "Put me in jail for domestic violence." "Okay." "I'm done with it, man." "So, why'd you hit your dad?" "Because he's a pussy-ass bitch, man." "I ain't working my ass off every mother- (bleep) day cutting my hands with a (bleep) chainsaw for free." "Okay." "So y'all were in a verbal argument..." "And I did it." "you took your teeth out, and you" "Yeah, I hit him right" "Did he hit you?" "No, sir." "All right." "I tell you what, we're just gonna walk over to this car," "I'm gonna detain you for a little while." "I don't want to sit in nobody's car." "Can I please smoke a cigarette outside the car?" "Well, you asked me to arrest you." "What" "I really don't want to be arrested." "Okay, all right." "I really don't." "Well, let me do this." "Let me" "Just bring me my stuff and I'll leave." "Just listen to me." "I'm gonna go ahead and detain you." "We're gonna figure all this out." "All right?" "I'll go to jail." "It ain't my first time and it won't be my last time." "Well, I hope it's the last." "Why would you want to keep doing that?" "I don't give a (bleep) about nothing, man." "Hey." "Why would you" "I don't." "I know you don't, but you need to." "Let's go." "Yes." "How's it feel, you pussy-ass bitch?" "Hey, hey, hey." "Hey." "I'll go to jail and not be nice." "Be nice just for me, all right?" "Okay, I will." "All right, thank you." "Please don't take me to jail." "Um, I'm gonna do what I can do." "We're" " You and I-- Listen, turn around, face me." "Sit down like that." "There you go." "And slide across." "There you go." "(radio chatter)" "Woman #1:" "She's telling them she wants to go to jail." "Hey, you mind taking your hat off for me there real quick?" "Let me take a look at what you got going on here." "Yes, sir." "Right there." "I see it, ma'am." "I don't want to press charges against her hitting-- doing that." "Right, right." "Right." "That's my daughter." "Can you kind of spread the skin a little bit?" "Let me see what's going on." "I don't know what you're-- I can't see." "Okay, that ain't too bad." "Woman #1:" "Her ex-boyfriend is going to prison for 15 years and that's what she's upset about." "I don't think she actually meant to hit me in the (bleep) face." "Well, she said she punched you in the face." "No, she threw her dentures." "Woman #1:" "It was a home invasion..." "They were dentures." "and all that." "She took those out and she threw them at you?" "And slung 'em." "I don't think she slung 'em, man, she just slung 'em and it happened to hit me here." "Oh, okay." "So, that's a misunderstanding." "She did not do that to me." "All righty." "All righty." "So, don't put her in jail for that because she didn't do it." "Woman #1:" "No, she's going to jail." "Okay." "If she's going to jail, she's going to jail." "I mean" "Woman #1:" "She's going to jail." "All right." "Okay." "All right." "Well, give me one second." "Excuse me, uh..." "does somebody have her teeth?" "(chatter) -(laughter)" "Does somebody have this woman's teeth?" "(clapping)" "Oh, boy, that was a good one." "No?" "All right, just checking." "Woman #2:" "I do right here." "Oh, you got her teeth." "All right." "Um, I'm not gonna take them with this bare hand here." "How'd you end up with Mary's teeth?" "Paul gave them to me." "Paul gave them to you?" "He kept them and he said he wasn't giving them to her until the police came." "Why would he have her teeth?" "I have no idea." "She took them out." "You don't know why her teeth are out of her head?" "I have no idea." "Kay." "Thank you." "I found the weapon." "Do you want to impound these?" "She" " Her story is that she took her teeth out and punched him." "But he's verifying that she didn't punch him." "So, I mean, I don't know that we necessarily have anybody." "So, she's not a victim." "Right." "And he doesn't want to be a victim." "Right." "Woman #1:" "Please don't take her to jail." "Don't take her to jail." "Okay, well a second ago, you asked me to take her to jail." "I don't want her to go to jail." "But you wanted her to go to jail a second ago." "The only thing that we're investigating today is why her teeth are on the hood of this car and not in her mouth." "And why Rodney's bleeding from the head." "She took them out before." "(mumbling)" "She just threw them." "That's what she keeps telling them." "She ain't no baseball player." "How close was she?" "From here to that..." "(mumbling), man." "That's why she" " No." "She was 30, 40, 50 feet from you?" "Yeah." "Yeah, there's no way she hit me in the face." "She keeps telling him that she did." "There's no way she hit me." "She's acting like she was this close." "No, sir." "Okay, all right." "So, if we don't really have an aggressor, we don't really have a domestic violence that occurred." "Just some teeth that got flung somehow, and" "Right out of anger." "Somebody got hit indirectly, so where do you want to go with it?" "Her friend, Kristen, is saying that she'd be more than happy to take her." "She lives in Gibsonton." "So, there's no way that-- in Mary's condition, that she'd be able to walk back..." "Yeah." "Yeah." "We won't have to worry about this again." "So, yeah." "She'll take Mary and her teeth and go out of town." "Squash it." "Yeah." "Cool." "I think it'll work." "Okay." "All right, Mary." "So this is what's going on." "Okay?" "When I got out of the car, you told me you had hit your dad." "Yes, sir, I sure did." "All right." "We went and talked to your dad." "He said something different." "Okay?" "Okay." "So, because of two different stories, and not having anybody else to really bring it together and let us know what the truth is in this investigation..." "Listen-- -we're doing this." "We're gonna resolve it by allowing you to go with your friend and you're gonna leave town." "Yes, sir." "You're gonna go down to Gibsonton." "You are gonna hang out there tonight." "You're not coming back up here." "Yes." "No, sir." "So, I don't have to worry about you being violent up here." "Oh, no sir." "All right?" "You don't have to be worried about me at all." "I just need my stuff for my teeth." "Okay." "I'm just letting you know what's going on." "Kristen's gonna get all your stuff and she's gonna get you going." "Okay?" "You don't have no money and the guy just gave you (bleep) $155?" "No, we didn't." "Mary, Mary, Mary." "Y'all need to stop arguing." "Get your legs in the car, let's go." "Yeah, okay." "Go, man!" "Get out of my face then." "Okay." "Move, get the (bleep) of here." "Kristen:" "Stop!" "Get the (bleep) out!" "Have a good night, Mary." "Well, now we only got one pair of dentures to worry about in this house, so hopefully we'll be all right tonight." "Absolutely." "You know, even growing up I always kind of lived on a night shift schedule." "And then, from a policing aspect," "I really enjoy being able to focus on the proactive patrol, focusing on narcotic-related crimes." "You know, your burglaries and stuff like that." "Less traffic on the road, you can really, um, get into some proactive stuff." "Officer over radio:" "Hey guys, I just had a car up in front of me turn." "Took off on a high rate of speed." "Gonna be coming out on First Street." "(radio beeps)" "Deputy Lewis:" "Yeah, I got it here." "We're gonna stop it at the Speedway." "We're gonna stop this car, it just blew the stop sign back there." "Sixth and... 301 and it was flying through the back streets." "Stay in the car, stay in the car." "Oh." "Stay in the car." "Tag, 22-10-50." "How's it going, man?" "You know what happened." "Don't play like that with me." "You trying to dip us and then you just blow that stop sign right there." "Did I?" "I'm sorry." "You know you did." "Did you even see the stop sign?" "I'm sorry." "What's up?" "You got a license?" "Yeah, I do." "Is your license good?" "Yes, sir." "You sure?" "'Cause you sure were in a hurry to get away from us." "No, we just need to put gas, so..." "You can just hand me that Corona, man." "We just needed to put gas." "Do me a favor, boss." "Step back here for me." "Got these at the house?" "Sit your butt up right here." "Huh?" "I was gonna go home." "Okay, where's home at?" "Um, 32 First Street." "Okay." "Let me ask you this, boss man." "What's in the car that's got you so nervous?" "What could get you in trouble in the car?" "There's nothing in the car, sir." "You sure?" "Yes, sir." "Okay, 'cause here's the worst thing that can happen for you." "The worst thing that can happen for you is if there's something in there and you're not honest with me and then I find it." "What is" " What's the reason on the stop?" "What did I do?" "That stop sign right there." "And all these things for that stop sign?" "Yeah, here's the deal." "I'm asking you." "I already got pulled over, I think it's" "Hey, talk to me." "Look at me and talk to me." "It's no reason for me to be here." "I gotta go." "There is a reason for you to be here." "Am I being arrested?" "Or am I getting a ticket?" "I need to go." "That's all I need to say." "Okay." "I need to go." "If you're honest with me, that can help out a lot." "There's nothing in the car." "I need to go." "Do me a favor, don't move." "Stay there for me." "Come back here with this guy." "Rear passenger." "What do you got?" "I didn't give you permission to search my car." "It's not right." "Hey, listen, I don't need permission at this point, partner." "Keep your hands right up there." "Keep your hands up there." "I don't need permission when it's in plain view." "Well, it's not right for this." "It's not right when the marijuana's in plain view." "I don't need a right to search your car." "Big bag of marijuana in the backseat." "Looks like we're gonna have some marijuana and either some cocaine or some heroin." "Probably about 10 or 15 grams of marijuana, it looks like." "He's searching my car without a warrant right now." "Okay, yes." "This is illegal right now." "Again, let me" "You know it's illegal right now." "It's not, it's not illegal." "What you're doing is illegal." "We can see this in plain view." "You know you didn't see that." "It's illegal what you're doing right now." "I will sue this." "Be quiet." "Be quiet." "You know I'm gonna beat it 'cause this is illegal." "Hey, we'll all give you our badge numbers and we work for the Sheriff's Department." "That looks like a big bag of cocaine there." "Boss, here's what I'm gonna tell you." "I know you're a little agitated, you're nervous." "I know that you were confused why we started searching your car." "Here's why." "When he was standing up there, clear as day in the back pocket of that front passenger seat, you can see the big bag of weed." "No, you couldn't." "There's no way that you can." "Hey, listen to me." "There's no way that you can." "You can't see." "Listen to me." "You can't see that." "I'mma fight this no matter what." "Okay." "Okay." "'Cause there's no way that you can see that." "Listen to me, if you don't want to be cooperative, just tell me now and I'll put you in the back and we can take you down and hit you with a few felonies and it can be a wrap." "I'm trying to give you a chance man-to-man to talk to me." "Do what you're gonna do." "I want you to be straight with me." "What?" "What you want me to say?" "How much soft is that, man?" "Is that like a quarter of an ounce or what?" "I don't even know." "What would you guess?" "How much" " I mean, it's not an ounce, is it?" "'Cause an ounce is trafficking, and that's what you don't want." "But I feel like somebody put that in my car." "Be still." "Here's the deal, if we play this whole dumb game" "My best friend for some reason went to jail two days-- today." "He got out last night." "Ain't no way." "I don't even, I don't even sell weed." "I don't even" " What?" "I don't even" " Coke, what the (bleep)?" "In my car?" "Be still." "Quit walking around." "I don't know how that got there." "Look, if you stick with the story, "Dude, I had no idea that a quarter of soft is right in my car,"" "right where your emergency break is, right where your arm sits" "Then you and I both know that's gonna be crazy." "And I'm gonna fingerprint and DNA touch test the bag." "Okay?" "I think you sell a little bit of soft to make a little bit of extra money, which I can totally understand." "I don't sell coke." "So you do it?" "Maybe." "Okay." "I do some coke." "Okay." "Just every now and then, just to party?" "Yeah." "Okay, so how much is that?" "Is that gonna be 28 grams?" "No." "Okay, about how much is it?" "I don't know." "What would you guess?" "It's cold out here." "Huh?" "It's cold." "Okay, do you want to talk in the backseat of a car?" "Let's go." "Okay." "The silver truck over here." "Jay, will you, will you unlock it?" "(clears throat) How much did you buy that soft for?" "$50." "$50?" "How much were you gonna try to get from it?" "I was just gonna do it." "Just gonna do it?" "Okay." "Yeah, I was." "How much weed is it?" "Is it just like 10 grams or something?" "It's an ounce." "It's an ounce?" "Okay." "Let me ask you this, your boy that you're riding with, is any of that his?" "No." "He don't have nothing to do with it." "Does he have any reason to go to jail tonight?" "No." "So you're saying you're not selling either the soft or the weed?" "No, that's mine." "That's what I do." "Okay, is that why you were so excited to jump out the car?" "What you mean "jump out the car"?" "I was gonna put gas." "I didn't even know you guys was following me." "You were just driving like that just 'cause?" "That's how I drive." "Okay." "I didn't even know you guys were following" "I didn't even know where y'all was at." "Okay." "That's why I find it curious when I pull up just to the gas station, you guys pull up behind me." "Look, lean out here, boss." "See that stop sign out there?" "Did you even know there was a stop sign there?" "I did, but-- -'Cause there were no cars coming, you just thought you had a chance?" "I did stop for a little bit and then kept going." "No." "Not at this stop sign." "I didn't stop fully, but I did stop." "All right, sit tight for me, man." "He 'fessed up?" "Yeah, he said he's not selling it but it's his coke." "Said that's an ounce of weed." "He said that the passenger has nothing to do with it." "He said, "Everything's mine, the coke's mine, the weed's mine."" "So, we're just gonna charge him with possession of marijuana over 20 and possession of cocaine." "132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint." "Dispatcher:" "Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is code three." "(overlapping police radio chatter)"
