-Announcer: "cops" is filmed on location
With the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law.
-I come from a family full of public servants,
Law enforcement, military.
My parents were immigrants and I was born here
With the attitude of every opportunity you get,
You give back to this great nation of ours.
So one way or another, I knew I wanted to serve the public.
374 and a stop.
Looks like we have a vehicle here at this intersection.
It's got illegally tinted windows.
I'm not able to see anybody inside this vehicle
And I've got my lights shining on it.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and initiate a stop.
Vehicle's failing to yield.
(tires screeching)
Just jumped up on a curb and it's now taking off on me.
74, we're now traveling eastbound
On ramona boulevard from watika.
We're back southbound on santa fe,
Hitting curbs, unable to maintain.
It's a possible dui.
Westbound on second.
(police siren blaring)
We're waiting for a helicopter to come overhead.
-Officer on radio: Turn on your body camera.
-Make sure our body camera is activated.
We're sending units ahead to set up possible spikes.
-Officer on radio: It's your 20.
At the intersection of ramona and state.
They just blew the red light.
-Deputy kevin farag: We have a unit setting up ahead
To set up spikes.
-Officer on radio: I got spikes set up...
-Farag: We have spikes set up right now.
-Officer on radio: Two seconds out, two seconds out.
-Farag: Here we go. Setting the spike strip.
He just went over the spikes.
-Officer on radio: He drove over spikes.
Spikes are effective. Three to four tires out.
-We just hit him. Three to four tires are out.
(indistinct radio chatter)
He's continuing on flat tires.
(indistinct radio chatter)
Looks like he's gonna come to a stop.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(police sirens blaring)
Hey, hands in the sky!
Both hands out the window, right now!
Put both hands out.
Put it in park. -Driver: It's in park. It's in park.
-Step out, man. Step out.
(driver, indistinct)
Hey, put your hand up here.
-Officer: Put the cigarette out, man.
-Farag: Drop the cigarette. Grab the door.
-Officer: We're going straight on the ground, guys.
Hey, there's a gun holster.
There's a gun holster and bullets. Gun holster and bullets.
-Driver: Alright, hey, chill out, chill out, man.
I'm not resisting, man. I'm not resisting, dude.
(groans) I'm not resisting, man.
-Farag: Where's the gun?
-It's in the trunk, man. -Farag: In the trunk?
-Officer: Check the trunk.
-Farag: Bring your knees up to your chest.
We're gonna help you get up. One, two, three.
-Officer: We can put him right here.
-Farag: You remember me from last time?
Is there anything else I need to know about, man?
(driver mumbling inaudibly)
-Farag: Okay.
-Officer: Is there a gun in the trunk?
-Farag: Yeah, he said he's got a gun and some stuff.
-Deputy postle: I think the luna got all four.
-Officer 1: Who spiked the car, bro?
-Postle: Got a little baggie.
-Farag: Hey, we got rounds in the door over here.
-Officer: Let me see the bag.
-Postle: We got an additional magazine here.
-Farag: In the back? -Postle: Yes.
-Farag: How many magazines so far?
-The one on the floorboard, the one in the backpack.
-Farag: Both loaded? -Postle: Yes.
-Farag: All right. No gun yet?
-No, just mags. -Oh, he probably tossed it then.
That's what he did last time, too. -Farag: Yeah.
-Postle: Friend of his borrowed the car,
Was supposed to purchase the firearm for him,
And told him that he left the firearm
In the vehicle for him.
That's why he believes that there was a gun in here.
-Farag: All right, so so far
We've got two fully loaded 45-round magazines,
Two gun holsters, magazine holster,
Pipe needle, and a couple loose rounds.
One 5.56, and one-- a couple 40 rounds.
He's on formal probation for stolen vehicles,
Possession of ammunition as a felon.
Both times that we've pursued him in the last few months,
He's had weapons and narcotics with him.
As far as tonight goes, adrian, I do have to take you to jail.
You're under arrest for felony possession of ammunition.
Alright?
Failure to yield, violation of parole, all that stuff.
Does that make sense? Being under the influence.
-Yeah. I know, man.
-But that, that's one thing,
Is there anything you might know about the gun?
Anything? -Adrian: No.
-Can you tell me about where it is?
-Adrian: I think that dude, that dude burned me. -Okay. Now...
-Or it's gonna burn me.
-I'm gonna ask you this, man to man,
'cause you've been straight with me.
Last time we had this pursuit,
You were throwing stuff out the window.
-That was dope. -I know.
I just need to know that the gun isn't out there
Somewhere that a kid can pick it up.
-No, I'm telling you, I didn't do nothing.
-I just don't want no kid picking it up,
Shootin' himself in the face or anything horrible like that.
-Me neither. -I wanna make sure the gun, as far as you know,
Is not out there, you didn't toss it.
-It's not, it's not, no. Hell no. I'm telling you.
-Okay.
-He told me he used my car and I just got in and took off,
Because like, I wasn't trying to be where he was at.
-Farag: Okay. -It's hot, you know?
-Farag: Okay. -So I just tried to take off,
I was supposed to meet some chick at the casino.
-Alright.
Well, I'm sorry. Probably not gonna meet that chick tonight.
-Oh, I know that. -Farag: Alright, man,
I appreciate you talking to me, adrian.
-Last time just slammed me (beep), man. -Take your time getting in.
We'll get to the station, get you a cup of water.
So, I talked to him again.
He believes that he got ripped off.
He said he was meeting with a buddy
Who was gonna drive his car, borrow it for the night,
Get him a gun, leave it in the trunk,
And then when he gave him the car back, he just took off.
And he was under the impression
That there was gonna be a gun waiting for him in the trunk.
He never saw the gun,
Never physically received possession of it,
But that's why we haven't located it.
-We checked the route too
And we didn't see anything on the sides.
-Did you see the magazine with the ammo in it?
And the holster? -Yeah. So those were his own.
He said he had those in anticipation
Of a .45 semi-auto firearm
That he thought he was getting tonight.
So we're gonna keep canvasing the area just to be on the safe side,
But as far as he knows, he got ripped off
And never actually got possession of the gun.
-Policing in las vegas is a lot different than what you may see
In other departments around the nation.
Obviously, we have the tourist corridor with the strip
And downtown, but there's a whole community out here
That a lot of people don't even know about.
And that's the part where I love to police.
Getting to know the citizens of las vegas,
And helping to protect this community that I grew up in.
So right now, I see this vehicle, looks like there's a guy
Hanging out of the passenger seat of the car
And we're gonna go ahead
And see what they're doing over here.
Hey, metro police. We're over here in the area.
This is high narcotics area, okay?
-Oh. -Yeah, that's the reason why.
Hop in front of my car for me, okay? Ma'am?
-Woman: Yeah.
-Officer blake pfiffner: Can you step outta the car for me?
Come to the front of the car.
Is this your car? Rest your hands right here on the bumper.
-Woman: Sure. -Sir, do you have any weapons on you?
-No. -No? Okay.
Place your hands behind on your back for me real quick, okay?
But like I said, this is high narcotics area, okay?
And obviously, I see you out the window right there.
I don't know what's going on, okay?
So I have reasonable suspicion to stop you guys, okay?
Real quick. Just so I confirm the spelling on your name.
Is it first name, v-a-n-e-s-s-a?
-Yeah. -Pfiffner: Okay.
-So in plain view, I saw this,
The scale with the white crystal-like substance
That shimmers in the light at angled illumination.
So, indicative of crystal meth.
-All right.
Hey dude, do me a favor, place your hands behind your back.
-Hands behind your back. Palms together.
While you were talking to them, I just saw in plain-view the scale
On the center console there.
Remnants of meth on there.
What's your name? -Vanessa: Vanessa.
-Man: Am I under arrest? -You're being detained.
Hey, lynn, she was in the passenger seat.
Okay, man.
Is there anything in there that you guys were doing?
-I was just fixing the mirror. I didn't see you.
-Any type of narcotics or anything like that?
-I use narcotics, so there might be paraphernalia in the car.
-Okay. Is it paraphernalia?
That's probably what's on the seat?
-Yeah, it's mine, it's mine. She doesn't use like that.
I do, you know?
-Okay, so she doesn't use, you do?
-Yeah, like she uses marijuana and stuff like that,
But like heroin, I use, but like, yeah.
-Do you have any heroin on you? -No, I'm sick. I've been sick.
I don't have, you know, I haven't,
There's nothing that needs to be concerned about
As quantity, just like paraphernalias and spoons
And needles and stuff like that.
-Okay, gotcha. And you're saying that that's yours?
-The paraphernalia, yes.
-Okay, gotcha. How long you been using?
-10 years. -Okay.
-Yeah. It's my downfall in life right now.
-Okay, if you could, I'm gonna have you just hang out right here.
-Man: Yes, sir. I won't. -Don't move.
Okay. I'm gonna go talk to my partner here in a second.
Okay? All right.
What we have a little bit right here is,
Either looks like either cocaine or methamphetamine.
It's kind of hard to tell,
Just because the bag's gonna be plastic as well,
With the white.
We also have a little bit of...
What appears to be heroin, right here.
He's saying he's a heroin user.
-Officer lynn: Yeah. -So we'll have charges on him and her.
And then obviously we have a scale here
And then obviously paraphernalia.
We also have a couple credit cards that don't belong to her
That was inside of her property, inside the purse.
So we have that going on as well.
I'm gonna go talk to him for a second.
Okay, face the car for me.
So listen, you are gonna be placed under arrest
For the possession of the heroin, okay?
We found heroin in that car. -Man: Yeah, that is not mine.
-Pfiffner: We also have the paraphernalia. -Man: That's mine.
-So you're also gonna be charged with that.
-Man: But I've been sick since this this morning.
-Huh? You said, like are, are you just sick?
-Yeah, from not using.
-Oh, okay. So you're having withdrawals?
-Yeah.
-Okay. Is that why you're sweating pretty heavily?
-Yep.
-Pfiffner: Okay, see, this is where,
This is where I have a little bit of a hard time believing you, man.
-Man: Yeah. -Because the heroin is found
In a plastic material just like this.
-Man: Yeah, but this... -And it's torn up.
-Yeah, but it's not mine, though.
It's really not mine.
-Okay, but I'm having a hard time believing you, man.
All right, I'm gonna still have you hang out real quick
And then we're gonna get you in the back of the car, okay?
-Man: Am I under arrest? -Yes, sir.
-Man: For what? -For the paraphernalia.
-The paraphernalia, I got it from the needle exchange.
They said it's legal for me to have, you can ask her.
She'll tell you herself. -Pfiffner: Well, we will ask her.
-Man: Okay. Thank you.
-Pfiffner: Hey, vanessa. Real quick.
Is that heroin yours?
-No. (stammers)
-Okay, the reason why I need to know
Is because he's saying it's not his,
But he's the one that's saying he's a heroin addict.
-Well, 'cause it...
I bought it, you know? -Okay.
-He is the heroin addict, but everything's mine.
-Okay, so you're claiming everything's yours. Okay.
-Yeah. -Okay.
But you're not just gonna,
You're not just taking the rap for this guy, are you?
Like, how do you know him? -It's my boyfriend.
-It's your boyfriend? How long you guys been dating?
-A couple months. -A couple months? Okay.
Well, if you're claiming that it's yours,
Then he won't get that charge, okay?
All right.
You are gonna be placed under arrest
For possession of heroin, for possession of methamphetamine.
You're gonna also be placed under arrest
For possession of credit card without owner.
-Please don't. I can call.
-I know, but right now that's what we got, okay?
So possession of credit card without owner's consent,
Okay, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
-Vanessa: Okay.
-Okay, so those are gonna be your charges
That you're gonna be charged with tonight.
-But I'm saying, can you confirm it before you charge?
-Yep, we're gonna go ahead and figure this out, okay?
-Okay. Thank you.
-All right. I'll talk to you in a bit, vanessa, okay?
Okay. She's claiming it's hers. -Okay.
-So, you're not gonna be charged with the heroin, okay?
Obviously, my partner's still searching the car, okay.
So if there is paraphernalia,
Probably be a citation, because you were honest, okay?
Listen, this life isn't,
It's nothing that you want to be a part of.
Neither of you should be a part of this.
If you're trying to get clean,
You need to be doing the same with her.
Okay? You have to. -I know.
-Pfiffner: You have to get her out of that, okay?
You're free to go at this point, but you know,
I want to give you the opportunity to go say goodbye to your girl.
-Man: Thank you so much, sir. -Pfiffner: Okay.
-Hey baby. Love you so much. Can I give her a kiss?
I'll be at the door waiting for you. Don't worry.
You're gonna have a dinner and a breakfast
And they're gonna let you out, okay?
I promise, I'll see you when you come out those doors.
-Vanessa: Okay. Bye. -Man: I love you.
-Don't worry. You'll be right out. -Okay.
-Pfiffner: Well, obviously,
They're going through a rough time.
She's got me going to clark county detention center
For the night and hopefully they can both
Get their life back on track here.
-Deputy erika delgado: In my off time,
I'm super family-oriented, and we have a really big family.
I have two little sisters, a brother,
And my grandma that I always hang out with.
So we are always having family parties,
Just hanging out and spending quality time with them.
I don't think there's anything
More valuable than family time.
(indistinct radio chatter)
A reporting party called in a kidnapping.
A gray, older dodge caravan. They're coming up northbound.
Coming on real right now.
One urpa 15, I'm in the area.
So is it this one right here?
-Dispatcher on radio: Nora 9-2-1. Nora 9-2-1.
-One urpa 15, I'm out with the vehicle.
Driver, keep your hands up and step out.
Face away from me.
With your right hand, pull the back of your collar up.
Turn around in a circle.
Pick your front shirt up.
Turn around. Hands up.
Step backwards with your hands up. Back, back, back.
Go to the right, to the right.
-Officer: Hands behind your back.
Passenger! Step out, keep your hands up.
Face away.
Back up to the sound of my voice. Back, back, back, back.
Keep coming. Stop.
-Delgado: I think there's one in the back.
-Officer: Hey, stop reaching inside the car.
-Delgado: Keep your hands up and step out.
-Officer: Slowly walk backwards.
Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming.
-Delgado: I got him, I got him, I got him.
-Officer: Stop right there.
(indistinct radio chatter)
-Delgado: Who else is in the car?
That's it? C'mon.
Over here. Over here.
-Officer: What'd you find? -Delgado: We located a firearm
Right here in the back seat. Possibly the passenger.
He was reaching and they told him to stop reaching,
So could have been for that.
We're gonna run it, make sure it's not stolen.
-Officer: Cool. Another one off the street.
-Delgado: Hi. What's going on?
-Nothing. I live with my boyfriend,
So I honestly don't know what's going on.
-Delgado: Who's your boyfriend?
-Him right there. -Delgado: The one that was driving?
-Yeah. -Okay. What was your name, you said daisy?
-Jasmine. -Jasmine? So, how come they said that
They forced you in the car or something?
I'm just trying to figure out why we got called here.
They said that you got kidnapped.
-No, I didn't get kidnapped. I didn't wanna get in the car.
So he got off and then I just grabbed,
Well, he grabbed my hand,
But he didn't force me into his car or anything.
-Delgado: Were you guys fighting? -No, we were arguing, but...
-Delgado: What were you guys arguing at?
-We were arguing 'cause we were going to a friend's house
And I honestly, like, didn't want to go.
-Delgado: Okay, well, people just got scared for your safety,
Because they said that... -Jasmine: No, I understand.
-He pulled you in and out.
-Jasmine: Yeah, I understand what like,
What they're talking about.
-So you don't need medical or anything? -No.
-Delgado: No? How long have you guys been together for?
-Almost three years.
-Delgado: How old are you? You look super young.
-I'm gonna be 18. -Delgado: 18?
-Yeah. -Delgado: How old is he?
-He's 18 as well. -Okay. Who's the other guy in the car?
The skinny guy. -That's my cousin. That's his...
-Your cousin? -His cousin.
-Delgado: His cousin? -Yeah, it's like family.
-Delgado: Oh, okay. -Yeah.
-Delgado: Was he in the argument as well or no?
-No. He was just quiet.
He was just playing music on his phone.
-Delgado: All right. Just hang out in here for a second.
Hi. What's going on, dude?
-I don't know, like, she just told me, like she was annoyed with me
And so like, I was like, all right.
And then I parked at my friend's house
And she just walked off.
So I just turned my high lights on
And started looking for her.
But I tried calling her and I was like,
"oh, where you at? Where you at?"
And she's like, "oh, don't worry about me."
So like, I was kind of like, I was like,
And so I ended up facetiming her
And she's like, I was like, "why are you covering the camera?"
And she's like, "'cause I don't want you to see where I'm at."
I was like all right, so at my house, like, well,
She doesn't want me to see where I'm at,
She must be somewhere that I know.
So I'm like, all right, she's probably somewhere,
So I'll probably just drive around and see where she's at.
So I drove around and then she was right there
By dollar tree, by the 7-11 off of camino.
-Okay, whose guns in the back? Who's building a gun?
-Whose gun's in the back? I'm not building a gun.
-Delgado: No? -No.
-Delgado: Okay. So we're trying to figure that out right now.
-Okay.
-Delgado: Right now, it's not looking too good.
It's an unregistered firearm. -Okay.
-You are the driver.
-So it'd be going to me, basically.
-So you're basically responsible for everything,
Everybody inside the car, alright?
So if your cousin doesn't know whose it is
And it's kind of like...
-Man: My fault, basically.
-In a sense, but I mean,
If you can help me out and try to figure it out.
-I wouldn't know, honestly. I wouldn't know.
-Whose car is that? -That's my mom's van.
-Delgado: Who drives it?
-She drives it.
I just drove it today, 'cause my thunderbird is broken down.
I have it on towers.
-Do you have a valid driver's license?
-I don't have a valid driver's license.
-Oh my goodness. You're killing me.
I just needed to get a brief statement.
My partner's probably gonna talk to you guys again,
So just make sure you be cool and cooperative with them.
-Okay. Thank you very much.
-You have any questions or anything? -Nah.
-What's your cousin's name? -Brian.
-Delgado: Don't tell me you don't know. -Brian.
-Delgado: Brian or ryan? -Brian.
-Delgado: Thank you.
Hey brian, what's going on today?
-I don't know what happened. I was in the car.
-Did he force her in the car
Or did she just get in the car?
-No, he didn't, he just...
-I'm sorry?
-They were walking together in the car.
-They were walking together? -Yeah.
-Okay.
Does your cousin have any access to guns or anything?
Do you have any access to guns?
-Brian: No response. -No response? Okay.
Just hang tight for a second, okay? Watch your foot.
So albert, right?
You're gonna get charged for having
A loaded, unregistered firearm.
And you know, she is in the system as a runaway juvenile.
You are aiding in hiding a runaway juvenile,
So you're going to get charged with that as well.
Did you know that? That's like some serious stuff.
Just make better decisions, okay?
I believe we're gonna take both of them. Brian and albert.
So he's gonna go to jail for the firearm.
-Can I see him at least?
-No, he's gonna go right now.
-I can't say bye to him or anything? For reals?
We're so (beep).
(jasmine crying)
-We're gonna take you to a place
Where you can go get some help and talk to a therapist.
And I really hope you work it out with your family,
Because even though you don't see eye-to-eye with them,
They care for you, okay?
(jasmine sobbing)
-(over radio): 132 and bush, I've got him at gun point.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Thanks, 10.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code three.
-(theme music playing)
