"And I was like, "All right." And I asked him if it's stolen." "He was like, "No."" "Okay, well, hold on." "This vehicle's stolen." "Okay, so the dude that gave me this car was talking about, "This is my car, man." ""Here you go." "Here you go." "Here goes the keys."" "How many keys do you have in your pocket?" "Those, that's to my house, man." "That's to your house?" "I didn't steal this car, sir." "Why are they all loose?" "'Cause I like keeping my keys loose, man." "Do you?" "Yes, sir." "He just gave me the keys and was like, "Here, man."" "Well, I mean, do you know the guy?" "Do you know him by name?" "No, sir." "He was just..." "he was just like," ""Here, man." "You want this car?"" "I was like, "Yeah, man."" "Step right back here with him, okay?" "I didn't see him no more, man." "You didn't see him?" "You got an I.D. on you?" "No, sir." "Right now we're just gonna inventory the vehicle, see if there's... any weapons, drugs." "Anything like that in the vehicle." "So we have the victim's name on this credit card right here." "That's the name that's on the report for the stolen vehicle." "He's claiming of course that he didn't steal this vehicle." "But yet the vehicle was just recently stolen and he's already in it." "And again, like I said, the victim's credit cards are in the vehicle." "One of the first things is on a stolen vehicle, a lot of times is the credit cards are used." "(radio beeps)" "Can you contact the victim and see if they can come pick up their car?" "We're gonna be at Clapp Park." "We have the keys and her credit card is also in the vehicle as well." "Woman: 10-4." "Adam, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt." "If you got it from somebody else," "I need to know what happened today." "Specifically." "Well, I was walking down over there on East Broadway next-- by Sonic and some dude, I don't know his name, just stopped me." "I don't know what he looks like 'cause it was just-- everything just happened so fast." "He gave me the keys, was like," ""Do you want this car, man?"" "I was like, "Yeah, sure." You know, "I'll take the car."" "He said that it was his, that it wasn't stolen or anything, so that's why I'm complying and everything, because I didn't know that the car was stolen." "You know what I mean?" "Adam, let me ask you a question real quick." "You're smart, right?" "Yes, sir." "If I came up to you and said that" "I was gonna give you an item worth several thousand dollars and you'd never met me before, and I was gonna give you something worth several thousand dollars, would that be normal to you?" "..." "No." "Okay." "So, did you think it was odd that some guy that you don't even remember what he looks like" "You can't tell me a race, can you?" "Uh, he was Mexican." "I know that." "He was Mexican?" "Okay." "That's it, man." "And" "But you don't know what he looked like?" "You can't tell me a d" "I don't know." "No, sir." "A short description?" "Nothing?" "From my standpoint, okay, that just absolutely makes no sense." "Don't accept nothing for something if you don't know if it's stolen." "Right." "If it's too good to be true, it probably is, right?" "Yes, sir." "Okay." "Like how you said you were gonna give me benefit of doubt and I'm gonna give you the benefit of doubt." "I was complying and everything." "But the benefit of the doubt, a lot of that is you have to give me a little bit of information that actually makes some sense." "Okay, that's-- that's all I can give you." "The statute in the... in the state of Texas is is that you're in possession of a stolen vehicle, okay?" "That you're un-- you're using that vehicle without any authorization from the owner, okay?" "Okay." "So, you don't have to be the one that takes it." "You have to be the one that's what?" "Take it back." "Driving it, right?" "Yes, sir." "Okay." "So right now, that's what you're under arrest for, okay?" "Is this your car?" "Woman:" "Yes." "Man:" "I wasn't there when it-- My girlfriend was in the car." "Is this your shirt?" "That's mine." "Did you see it?" "Are you sure?" "Mm-hmm." "We got some clothes in the trunk." "We was going to do laundry." "Yeah." "Your girlfriend, what's her name?" "Jasmine." "You're Jasmine?" "Yeah." "He was wearing your boyfriend's shirt." "Here, you can come over here." "Take a look through your car and just make sure everything appears to be in order." "What happens is a lot of times with our stolen vehicles they've already cleaned out the glove-box and everything." "They're looking for an item that they can steal really quick." "And that's your card right there on the" "That's your credit card, right?" "Yes, it is." "Okay." "Um, everything else appear to be in the car?" "Mmm..." "There was a bunch of keys in his pocket." "Do you know anything about those?" "Yeah, he took all my keys off of the" "Your keyring?" "Yeah." "Yeah, he said he likes to keep his keys loose." "Can you tell me a little bit about how this happened?" "I was parked at El Pino." "Um , I was in there literally three minutes and I came back out and my car was gone." "Did you leave your car running?" "I did." "But I never thought, like, that would happen." "Yeah, it's a crime of opportunity." "We should be able to leave our cars unlocked, but that's just not the day and age we live in, so." "All right." "All right, Adam, this is the deal, okay?" "You can go ahead and step out for me." "Our victim said that that's his shirt, so we're gonna go ahead and we'll take it off, okay?" "You weigh 140 pounds and you're gonna wear" "There are other shirts like this around the world, man." "Come on now." "Well, they are, but they aren't 3XL." "(handcuffs unclick)" "Do me a favor." "Get on your knees real quick." "Cross your legs." "Cross your ankles." "Cross your ankles." "Man on radio:" "52-14." "You are being arrested for the unauthorized use of the motor vehicle." "You understand that, right?" "Yes, sir." "When something is too good to be true, then it probably is." "My dad worked here for 32 years and, you know, he really instilled the importance of safety to me and how important it is to get home to your family at the end of each shift." "You know, he said that there's no amount of dope or anything out here that's worth losing your life over." "Man on radio:" "White male with no shirt on." "Bald head." "No seatbelt on the driver." "We'll stop it right up here." "Gonna stop this pickup truck right in front of us." "Um, the driver's not wearing his seatbelt." "We also have a stop bar violation on the last stop sign back there, so gonna make contact with him." "(car door closes)" "How's it going, boss?" "What you up to, man?" "You mind just shutting your radio off for me?" "What you up to, man?" "Just chilling." "Just got off work not too long ago." "Look man, not a big deal" "You mind rolling that window down for my partner?" "This door." "It's rolling." "Hey, not a big deal, man, but when you were just on Florence, you didn't have your seatbelt on until you passed my partner, then you put it on." "Okay." "You got your license on you, man?" "Yes, sir." "Whose truck is it?" "It's my dad's." "Okay." "I just got it from Tennessee actually." "I just went and picked it up not too long ago." "Okay." "So you don't live in Bradenton no more?" "No, I don't." "Okay." "How long ago was that?" "Uh, not too long ago." "Okay." "Justin, do me a favor." "Just step back here for me, boss." "Just step out of the car for me." "Okay." "Right back here." "Let me ask you this, boss." "When was the last time you had a little bit of weed in there?" "Is there some in there right now?" "'Cause I'm smelling it." "So, did you have some maybe earlier?" "Nah." "A dude had some earlier." "Okay, he was smoking in the truck or something?" "No, he was just smoking right there at the truck." "Oh, okay, so maybe that's why I'm smelling it?" "Yeah, probably." "All right." "I mean, you can smell it, right?" "Right." "Right." "Okay." "He just had it." "Okay." "Um... 'cause here's what I'm gonna tell ya, okay?" "I have probable cause to search you and search your truck right now." "Okay." "Okay?" "So, if you wanted to be honest with me about anything that's in there before I did that, that would be a good idea for you." "Okay." "Okay?" "So 'cause if there's anything illegal in there," "I'm gonna find it." "Okay." "Okay?" "So do me a favor." "Just put your hands up on the tailgate for me." "On the tailgate?" "Okay, well, can I say no?" "Can you say no to what?" "To a search." "No." "Here's why." "The smell of marijuana gives me probable cause to search in there, okay?" "Okay." "Okay." "So do me a favor." "Just put your back up against the front of my car, okay, boss?" "All right." "All right?" "Yeah, we had a couple of violations on him." "One being a seatbelt, one being a stop bar violation." "And then while I was standing up here," "I could smell a large amount-- or I could smell the odor of marijuana." "And it looks like we have..." "That's a pretty good amount of marijuana." "All right, boss, how much weed is that?" "Two-and-a-half, three." "How long have you been selling weed, man?" "Just a little bit or what?" "I ain't selling it." "I'm smoking it." "Come on, man." "Look" "I'm straight up, brother." "I smoke it." "That's all I do, is smoke" "Nobody carries around three ounces with 'em just for smoke." "I just picked it up." "Where'd you just pick it up at?" "Down the road." "From some guys down the road." "'Cause here's the deal, man." "You know that's enough to charge with possession with intent." "Yeah, and that's understandable." "We're dope cops." "That's what we do." "Nobody carries around three ounces in their truck." "Nah, like I said, I just got it so I can smoke it." "I mean... that's all." "That's all I did." "How much did you pay for that?" "On the real?" "Yeah, on the real." "Eight." "800 bucks?" "And you're not gonna try to flip that?" "No." "Honest." "Come on, man." "I swear to God I smoke it." "You just smoke it?" "That's it." "That's all I do really." "Why weren't you straight with me, man?" "'Cause I don't want to go to jail, man." "I got a good job." "I just been working there, got a new position." "All right." "So here's the deal." "I'mma search the rest of the truck." "Am I gonna find anything else in there?" "Maybe some blunt wraps." "I don't care about that." "What's that right there?" "Oh, yeah." "That's clean pee." "Hey, boss, who you getting your clean pee from?" "Clean pee?" "Yeah." "Is that what" "Isn't that what's in that jacket, some clean pee?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah?" "Where are you getting your clean pee?" "The store." "The store?" "Yeah." "You can buy clean pee?" "Yes, sir." "What's that though?" "It's a heating pad." "To make the pee warm." "You got it all figured out, man." "What store?" "What store can you buy clean pee?" "Anywhere you want pretty much." "Any head shop." "Really?" "Yes." "Yes, sir." "What's it called?" "There's different names." "That-- that's called Pee." "Pee?" "Pee." "How many times have you been drug tested in that pee's worth?" "Twice." "Really?" "How much did that cost you?" "35 cash." "Sheesh, man!" "You got a lot of money tied up into smoking weed." "Do me a favor." "Turn around, put your hands behind your back for me, boss." "Okay." "I gotta give you credit, man." "Not too many smokers think through how they're gonna pass their drug test, especially the heating pad." "Yeah, you got a little set up." "Weed, you got the pee." "You're not stupid, man." "You just like weed that much?" "You just gotta have it?" "That's all I do." "Just sit around and smoke weed?" "All right, boss, we're gonna put you in the backseat of this car and then if your girlfriend shows up, um, I'll let her holler at you before we take you out of here." "All right." "All right?" "Right back here." "You unlocked?" "Yep." "Here's the deal, man." "To be honest, I actually believe you." "I actually believe that you're gonna smoke all that." "I mean, it's gonna take you a little while." "How long is that gonna last you?" "Probably about to to three weeks." "Two or three weeks?" "All right." "So here's the deal." "I'm not gonna hit you with and intent to sell charge, okay?" "So, you're just gonna catch a charge, you know, possession of marijuana over 20 grams and then paraphernalia, okay?" "So, your bond will be 2,000 bucks." "Okay?" "So 200 with a bondsman." "Okay." "I think your old lady's here, so I'll let her come talk to you." "Woman on radio:" "10-4." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Just bail me out." "Well, I need your-- I need your wallet." "Can you" "It's all in the truck." "All right." "His bond's gonna be $2,000" " Relax." "His bond's gonna be $2,000, okay?" "(sobbing) I got babies, man!" "Look..." "(sobbing)" "Then he need" "They need their dad!" "Okay, well, then that's something he needs to understand." "Justin" "Just bail me out." "You got the money." "(sobs)" "This needs to be a wake up call, right, Justin?" "My phone is up there, my I.D. is." "Make sure you get my I.D. in the car." "Can I give him a kiss, please?" "Yeah, you can give him a kiss." "Don't do anything silly." "Let this be a wake up call, man." "It ain't worth it." "Do you agree?" "All right." "Let her go." "I love you!" "I love you." "(car door shuts)" "132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint." "Dispatcher:" "Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is code three." "(overlapping police radio chatter)"
