Traffic Stop and Mom Call00:02:57
So during this traffic stop, this dude, this grown man, had to call his mama.
Did all his brakes loose.
Yeah, mama's boy.
Check this out.
Hey, good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
Do you know why I'm stopping you?
No, I don't.
Well, hey, somebody called in complaining that you're parked in the law enforcement parking spot.
Oh.
They saw that you might have been acting a little strange.
They wanted me to make sure you're doing okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm doing good.
I just went there to go pick up some brake cleaner for my stepdad, so I apologize for parking in the wrong spot.
Here's my ID.
Okay.
Who's your dad?
Stepdad.
Charles.
Okay.
Okay.
They live here in town?
Yeah, I'm getting my car fixed right now.
So you're just borrowing this car?
Yeah, this is my mom's car.
Okay.
Any idea why somebody might call in saying that you're acting a little weird?
No, I don't.
Anybody else in your car with you?
No, there's not.
I know not right now, but when you were over at Walmart?
No, there wasn't.
When was the last time you smoked marijuana?
A long time ago.
I don't smoke it.
When you rolled down the window, I smelled that's impossible because I don't smoke marijuana at all.
My mom doesn't smoke.
Nobody smokes marijuana.
I'm still smelling it now, so.
How?
With my nose.
I don't smoke marijuana, though.
Okay.
Well, it's not your car, so maybe it's in here and then somebody else is smoking in here.
It's not.
There's no marijuana.
I mean, I can call my mom right now and I can ask her.
You don't need to do that right now.
Let me call her and I'll tell her I'm pulled over here.
You don't need to call her right now.
If you want to run my license plate, I'll let them know I'm pulled over and they can come here and just no, they don't need to come in here.
No, they don't need to come in here.
But I do want you to step out of the car.
Okay.
Mom!
What?
I just got pulled over.
They said that I was smoking.
They said that they smelled marijuana in the car.
You know what?
That's a bunch of s**t.
It's a pipe house.
Come on over here, okay?
Yeah, this is hard for PD.
Are you making a complaint?
They're not checking my s**t.
I'm coming.
I just want to try it.
Yeah, I'm not getting out of here.
Okay, it's a legal and lawful order, okay?
I smell the order of marijuana.
I want you out of the car.
He's saying that he's smelling the order and he wants me out of the car.
So I'm going to get arrested because somebody called in and said I was smoking marijuana.
They didn't say you're getting arrested.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
Understand that your mom is not here.
You're an adult.
You can make a decision.
The decision I'm giving you is that I smell marijuana coming from the vehicle and I'm going to search the car.
I don't want you to get arrested.
He said that he's going to search.
The car.
Okay, i'm asking you to exit the car.
I don't know what's going on.
Is there anything?
I'm at the gas station.
Heroin, Tasers, and Arrests00:08:34
Is there anything that I can say for you that will make you exit the car at this moment?
I listen, sir.
I was not smoking marijuana.
I have done nothing, I don't know.
No, put it in park, sir.
Put it in park.
Get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
No, no.
I can scare your mom.
Jake, get out of the car.
Get out of the car!
Get out of the car!
He's taking off with Derek in the car.
Get out of the car!
Put it down right now!
Put it down right now!
Get out of the car!
Bomb!
He's taking off with Derek in the car.
Do not jump in!
Do not jump in!
Take him!
Take him!
Get on the ground!
You hear all that ruckus, mama's still trying to have a conversation.
Look at the prong hanging out of his hand.
That thing went deep.
Yeah.
Push your head back now.
You're already getting snaps again.
I still have the prong hanging out of his hand.
Thank you.
Dirty weapons on you.
No.
You good?
You?
That's the most.
Don't smoke, dude.
Are you hurting anyway?
Yeah, where are you?
I know that you have a kid on your hand.
Would you like to call an ambulance out for you?
Yeah, let's do it.
622 County, plenty of chest pain.
Also taser deployment.
While the suspect may now be in custody, the chaos is far from over, as the suspect's stepdad is now on the way to the scene.
Sit up.
Why'd you try and choke me, man?
So that gives you right to try and take off the cop of the car?
I also agree.
You're f***ing good for nothing.
You realize you made a big deal over a ticket now to felony charges now.
I hope you know that.
We're gonna stand you up.
You gonna throw up?
We're gonna stand you up.
Lean up against that thing over there, okay?
Bring your legs in.
Can I please get my drink?
No.
Can I please get it?
I got an ambulance coming from you.
Can I please get my drink, please?
You have a seat back for a squad car.
The ambulance will give you something.
Sir, can you please get my soda?
No.
Please?
No.
No.
Let's go, sir.
Stop.
Dude.
I want to get a taste again.
You want to get a taste again.
Why are you doing this, sir?
How are you doing this, little girl?
I can still hear a mum in the background.
Can't you hear that?
Yeah.
Spread your feet.
Anywhere else than your hurt?
Hand hurt?
Yeah.
He was tased.
Well, he took off in the car with me in it.
Both tased him.
He got tased there in his probe in his hand.
Anybody else with him?
No.
That one I stopped him.
Almost ran his squad car with me in it.
I'm sitting on his hands in my car.
He's got a probe in there.
There's one in there and one in his chest.
You can't take it out.
I got him.
You can't take it out.
Is this something I don't know?
Hit that part of training once you got him in cuffs, you can go ahead and take it out.
That was probably.
Okay.
They found something.
Yeah, please give him a drink, sir.
Hold this.
Yeah, I'll stop the respect you.
One in your hand, okay?
Oh my god!
Hey dude, watch your head.
Look at me.
What was your first name again?
What's that?
Brandon.
Brandon.
Bran.
Hey, Brad.
Why are you shutting your eyes on me?
Did you take some?
What'd you take?
I'm hurt, man.
What'd you take, Brad?
I don't have heroin, but I'm hurt.
When was the last time you used?
I got to give you some Narcan.
No, you don't.
I'm not hurting from the heroin, man.
I'm hurting from that f***ing taser, bro.
Well?
My test is on fire.
How much did you use?
Not a lot at all, dude.
I took like two hits, bro.
I'm not even enough to not be sick for a little bit longer.
Heroin or fentanyl?
Heroin.
I'll smoke?
No, I'll smoke it.
I'll be sick for a little bit longer.
I mean, you're smoking some heroin?
Yeah.
You know, hey, man, be honest with me, bro.
You don't smell weed.
I did.
That's impossible, bro.
I literally, I haven't smoked marijuana in like I don't lie to people about that.
Okay, but listen, I don't smoke.
I haven't smoked marijuana in a year and a half.
So I don't know how you smell marijuana.
I might look suspicious.
I had the music loud.
I got a lot of money and I pulled it out at the cash register and it out or something.
But there's no marijuana, bro.
Okay.
I don't know why I was smelling it, but I was smelling it.
That shouldn't even be a legal problem, Pa.
Anybody can say that.
I can say you're black because I'm a certain star.
You know what I mean?
It's the same shit.
No, I would never make that.
If somebody pulled you over and said I smell marijuana, you know damn well you don't smell me.
I wouldn't lie to you.
That's some bullshit, bro.
Can I do a little bit of that, bro?
I know it's crazy, but I'm going through it, bro.
This is the worst part.
I apologize for pulling off.
I just don't care about my probation.
Thank you.
I'm afraid I'm out for you, bro.
Well, you're missing a lens here.
Oh, yeah.
Would you be able to grab that lens, please?
If I could find it.
If we find it, it's on the floor somewhere.
I'm sorry, man.
So, what's bothering you right now?
My chest.
Okay, okay.
Would you pop it or can I try?
Did your chest hurt before I got tanned?
Hell no.
When I got tanned, it fell.
Start lighting up burning.
Okay, thank you, man.
Thank you, sir.
That's my car, my stepson.
He went there to get stuff for me.
What are you guys doing?
We'll talk to you in a second.
While she's still talking on the phone, normally I would, but you.
He tried choking me, so I don't feel comfortable with that.
The cleaner's in the car.
Everything is in the car.
I did nothing.
Not at all.
Is it okay if I look like you're sure to take a picture of the taser?
No?
No.
I want to document it.
I don't know what you're going to do.
I want to go home.
Okay.
Understand that you're now under arrest for battery to a law enforcement officer, okay?
So you're going to come with us to the hospital.
You're going to get cleared for jail, and you're going to be jailed.
Okay, can I have some water though in the meantime?
The doctor has to tell me it's okay because now you're in protective custody for that.
Okay.
And then that way, you know, in 10 years from now when you decide to sue me, you have proof that I don't want to sue you.
know what to do, man.
I told you what to do.
You know, but then I'm going to jail either way.
I got f***ing heroin around me.
This problem is real for f***ing heroin.
That's all I care about.
For being charged with battered law enforcement.
That heroin's not going to go away.
Right, right.
But he got charged with all this attempted disarming a peace officer, resist and obstruct and resist officers of substantial bodily harm, possession of narcotics.
Six Months in Jail00:00:29
Yeah, so he got one year, six months, three year supervision.
If it was black, he would have got the lecture chair.
I'm just joking.
But he could have just gone with the felony, the narcotics, the heroin.
And he probably got a couple months.
Yeah, they're giving him some help.
Yeah, he needs help, man.
Yeah, he only got like a year and six.
You think that cop really smelled marijuana?
I know he's full of crap.
They always say that.
They pull me up, hey, man, I smell marijuana in the car.
