JD Irons and his mother Rebecca face a chaotic police chase where officers find drugs in Rebecca's bag and a handgun in the glove box, despite her denial. While JD claims fear drove him to flee, DNA links him to the weapon, leading to charges of resisting obstruction and felon possession. After pleading guilty on July 24th, 2024, U.S. District Judge Sherry Polster Chappelle sentences him to 15 years in federal prison. The segment concludes by criticizing this lengthy sentence as excessive for drug-related offenses and highlighting the racial undertones present during the encounter.

See if you have a warrant.
And he doesn't.
Tell me what's going on.
JD, what?
Tell me what's going on.
I told him what's going on because I gave his brother.
All right, he just went into 101.
Sorry, if I can get you to come in here.
But tell me what's going on.
Just relax.
You know exactly what you're doing.
No, I'm telling you.
You ran for some reason.
So I'm telling you.
Anything on you that I need to know about?
No.
I'm sorry.
He tells me things I don't know.

That's what I don't know.
What is kind of trouble with you?
Because I need to know.
I don't know yet.
Okay.
Right now I just flipped him from.
I looked him up.
I looked him up and he had nothing.
Well, you know what I'm saying?
He ran for something.
There is no contraband in the back of my car.
If I find anything after you get in there, we're going to have you.
I don't have anything.
What apartment are you guys going to?
He just wanted me to drop him off.
I dropped him off right here.
Why'd you roll out the window?
Well, because he's on me too.
Listen, I swear, I did his brother.
His brother's in jail.
Yeah, his brother's in jail.
So I just take him where like he didn't even need to go anywhere.
We just went to race back.
What?
I don't have trouble.
Like, look up my record.
What's your name?
I have a ID on you.
Yeah.
Do you have a driver's number?
Rebecca.
But I do.
I've ever since my baby was born.
Is in that black gray bag that you had?
Yeah, there.
You have a wall in there?
I can grab your ID.
Yeah.
It's in a purple.
It's in a little purple QS thing.
It just says in the purple thing.
Okay.
Might as well come out, bro.
Might as well come out.
Not leaving.
We're going to take this door.
We're going to send the canine in.
Might as well come out.
Police open the door.
Might as well come out, man.
We're not leaving.
That unit, the kind of is Ashley.
JD Irons is associated with that unit and Jadarian.
And I'm sure others, but those two names right off the bat.
Mr. Irons, I ain't leaving.
And we are going to be coming in there.
So do yourself a favor and come on out.
They're going to work the car and they'll open their eyes.
Yeah, you don't have to go back.
Well, can you open that back for me?
Yeah, just one.
Officers also find drugs in the female's purse.
They now speak to her about the items they found in her car.
Are you a convicted fellow?
No.
Okay, you only fired?
I don't have any guns.
No, I don't have problems.
I really, I was trying to tell you guys I've not been in trouble.
I get a little back in the day.
I had a little bit of peace.
So I got one question.
And Rachel Pete's was my fault.
So here's what I guess.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to say you're a suspect.
I'm not going to say you're under arrest.
You're obviously just a witness to what happened here, okay?
You're the driver of the car.
Right?
Okay, I have one question for you.
And if you lied to me, I'm going to be very pissed.
Because I'm not leaving until I get JD out of that house.
Where's the girl that has the house?
Where is she?
The girl, Ashley?
Yeah, where's she at?
I've gone.
What number?
I don't know.
I'm facing her.
Y'all over here?
I don't have her phone number.
I just have her in vocation.
Okay, we'll get to that.
Question number two.
At what point during this little loop deal you all made did you put the gun in the glove box?
I didn't.
He did.
He must have the gun in the blood box before because I picked him up way a lot earlier.
Just like this morning, early, early, early, early, earlier.
Okay, you saw a gun in there earlier today?
I didn't see him put it in there, but I'm assuming he had it.
You've seen him with a gun before?
What does it look like?
A black, I don't know, guys.
What kind of a black, a black, a little little gun?
He says he always has like a bullet in the head or whatever.
Okay.
I don't know.
Have you seen him with it today?
No, that's the thing.
When you guys were telling me about a thing in the glove box, I'm assuming it.
I thought he had it in his pocket.
If anything, he always be talking about that stupid.
Pray, even during this little loop deal, did you see him open the glove box at all?
Did you see the glove box open up?
No.
Like, I stay out of trouble.
How long have you been with him today?
That's why he took off running that gun.
I'm pretty sure he's got warrants.
Why didn't if you're going to run, why didn't you take the gun with you and stash the gun in the house when you're going to get it?
What are you going to get captured with the gun on you?
Well, put it on the wide girl.
It's a short thing that they're going to find in the car.
This is a stupid criminal, man.
Take that gun, put it in your pocket, run like hell, get in the house, put it on a pillow or something.
It's like, hey, my gun.
You just believe in the car?
This morning.
Eight.
Eight this morning?
But like, not like with him.
I dropped him off to go fishing.
I dropped him off at a fishing spot and I went shopping.
And I went back and got him.
I need you get me that number.
The person you are calling cannot accept calls at this time.
We're sorry for that she has is no good.
Yeah, I need a phone number for JD.
You got JD's number?
How do you guys communicate?
Whenever he uses somebody's phone, I'm wi-fi.
Nobody has phones around here, I swear.
Everybody be going on Facebook.
He doesn't have a physical phone.
So there's no way for you to communicate with him right now.
She's saying that there's no way for her to communicate.
He does not have a cell phone.
He uses other people's phone.
Mr. Irons, it's the Form Irons Police Department.
We're not leaving.
We want you to safely come out.
JD, come to the door, please.
I'm listening to you.
I'm just sit down right here.
Rebecca, I'm going to read you this.
This does not mean that I'm taking you to jail or you're going to be arrested or anything.
Okay?
You have the right to remain silent.
I'm not arresting, so don't start crying, okay?
I know, I just do.
It's just because of what JD did and all this stuff.
I need to ask you stuff.
You're in the back of the car.
With these rights in mind, do you understand each of these rights?
I do.
All right.
Have you asked for a lawyer?
No, I can't afford one of these.
Okay, you said earlier that JD threw something in your bag.
What is that?
I haven't seen it.
You pulled me over right now.
Where was your bag when it was getting pulled over?
My right leg and the center down.
And then he just saw us and ditched that in there?
Yes.
What was it?
I did not look.
He literally had me out of the car.
How long have you been cleaning?
Since you.
So the pills that we found in your bag are not yours?
I don't have anything driving that.
This gun that you were talking about earlier, how many times have you seen him with it?
I've hung out with him like 12 times and missed it every time.
You know how this looks, right?
A boyfriend's in jail.
That's his brother.
I guarantee you, that dude is doing her too.
Yeah, of course.
Rebecca, you know how this looks, right?
The first day was on your lap, there's drugs in it.
A guy flees from your car.
There's a gun and...
But why don't I don't see how that looks.
Just because people don't have records doesn't mean they're not doing bad.
To me?
To anybody.
I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
I was over here with another show.
JD Irons, Fort Myers, please, come to the door.
JD, this is the Fort Myers Police Department.
We're not going away.
Come outside.
Gosh, what do you think?
I'm not.
My mom calling her.
Okay.
She says she at work.
I'm trying to tell her y'all in her house.
Why y'all just can't go in there?
Because they're trying to give him a chance and an opportunity to get his ass out.
If you do get a hold of her, would you just yell at me?
She's trying to get a hold of her.
JD's father now shows up on scene.
Y'all do something to my son.
I'm going to do something on y'all.
Hey, are you trying to like rat me with Mr. Irons?
I can get you this close.
As close as I can get you.
Right here.
Y'all want my son at the house.
I can give him a fight.
You're walking away when I want you to walk over here.
You're not helping me.
Walk over here, sir.
This way under the tape.
Not that way.
This way, please.
Where are you going to walk at?
Right here, right across the sidewalk.
They're just right here with me, sir.
Mr. Iron, I can't let you go to the door.
I can't.
That's the only way you're going to come out.
Right here.
Jay.
Come to that front door.
The DD.
Do you have a phone number or anything, sorry?
Different numbers.
He's got different numbers.
Yeah.
Okay.
JD, come to the door, man.
Come to the door.
I'm here.
Sir, if he does come to the door, you're gonna have to.
I know.
You're gonna have to stay here and then they'll put him in handcuffs and then we can talk to him over here.
Okay?
The father now calls someone, presumably Ashley, the owner of the residence, and is able to speak with JD.
What do you mean you're not there?
So they go in there, if you're not there, then you lying in.
Man, listen.
What you trying to get shot or something?
Come outside.
What?
Bring your ass outside.
You ain't got nothing on you.
Man, listen.
Hey, come outside, man.
JD, just come to the front.
Come to the front door.
I'm right here.
Thank you.
Tell him to come on out.
Nothing in his hands, please.
They have your hands up in the air when you come to the front door.
Nothing in his hands.
Thank you.
Well, come to the front door.
Come on out there.
You're doing great.
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
They come on out to the front door.
I'm right here by the front door.
They come on out.
I'm right here.
Come on.
Tell him to knock on the door when he's going to come out.
Knock on the door when you're finna come out, Jay.
Didn't knock on the door when you finna come out.
All right, and make sure he sets the phone down before he walks outside.
And set your phone down when you come out.
All right.
All right, come on out.
Come on out.
I see you.
Come on.
Come on out.
I see you.
Hey, you're great.
Jay, come on out, man.
All right.
Hey, be cool.
Be cool.
Oh, shoot.
Oh, shoot.
All of them kids, what a daddy's at.
It probably worked.
Or in jail.
Oh, my God.
And for the day, we don't have to.
Shut your mouth and be cool.
Oh, man.
I don't want to.
Stereotypical Black Crime Assumptions00:03:49
Damn.
Are you Ashley?
No.
No?
Who are you?
Do you have identification on your name?
I ain't got nothing to do with this.
I didn't come from me.
I'm well aware of that, but you were inside the house, so I'm trying to get your name because we have to write a piece of paper about everything that happened.
So what's your first name, ma'am?
Angela.
Angela Lynn.
Right.
That's what you just got out of nowhere.
You know what's wrong with you?
Her daughter.
Raven?
Raven's gone.
Yes, I am Ravenstone.
That's how you look at it.
And I am a great law-abiding citizen that's still upset with y'all.
Motherfuckers got here way too late.
Get my granddaughter where she needed to go.
My name is Ashley.
I am a proud motherfucker.
You just gave me a bad name.
Why'd you give me a bad name?
Because I don't want no BS.
I want to have nothing to do with this.
You have BS.
This is the BS.
You're lying.
That's the BS.
Y'all have a great weekend.
Let's get it a little bit.
No attitude towards you, ma'am, but I'm just saying.
If you went through what I went through with this right here, well, this could have been done a long time ago.
It's okay.
I'll do it all.
It's okay.
Thank y'all so much.
Sir, thank you.
We really appreciate it.
Seriously, I really appreciate it.
Rebecca, because you stayed and you were cooperative, I'm not taking you to jail.
Okay?
But because those drugs were found in your person, just listen to me for a second, okay?
Before you say anything, I will write it up.
And if a prosecutor wants to put a search warrant out for you, or not search warrant, an arrest warrant, that's up to them.
Okay?
I'm going to give you a written warning, like I said, for the stop sign.
You have any questions for me?
I'm about to pull you out.
Come on up.
That's what black people call a white friend.
Would he probably think the drug belongs to him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, to the guy.
But I'm just saying, from a black white woman a break, yeah.
That's from the black person's standpoint.
No, man, she needs to go to jail with me.
But you see what I'm saying?
That's good policing right there.
Yeah, because that black man said to frame that good white man.
All right, you stuck's on the top of the car there.
I'll give you your documentation.
Well, it's your license.
You want me, I want that.
Thank you.
JD stated in a post-arrest interview that he ran from the vehicle because he was scared for his life.
He also stated that he owns a black and silver Taurus handgun.
He states that he knows he is not legally allowed to own a firearm due to being a convicted felon, however, he needs to for protection.
JD also stated that he did not leave a gun in the glove box of the vehicle and denied any knowledge of it being there.
When he was shown a picture of that gun, JD stated his fingerprints were going to be on it and that he handled it.
However, he still denied ownership of it.
JD was charged with resisting obstruction and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
JD has a lengthy criminal record, including multiple prison sentences for drug crimes involving cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.
DNA testing confirmed that JD was linked to the gun found in the glove box.
On July 24th, 2024, JD entered a guilty plea for his charges.
U.S. District Judge Sherry Polster Chappelle sentenced JD to 15 years in federal prison.
You need to get him off the street.
JD is crazy, man.
15 years of your life is going to be in the next 15 years of your life is going to be in prison.
Over what?
Drugs?
It's crazy.
It's like they can't help themselves.
That's a stereotypical black neighborhood.
This is the stereotypical black crime.
Yeah, the first thing I'm asking, man, as soon as I start making me some money, I'm going to go live with the white folks.
