-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.
-Deputy stephen housam: I've been in the
Criminal justice field for, a little over 10 years now.
Prior to that, I was in the united states army.
And once I got out,
I kind of just segued into law enforcement pretty easily.
I come out here, each day,
I try to show everybody professionalism, integrity,
And courtesy.
Which are really big key points here
At our sheriff's department.
A burglary in progress.
And there's already some units there.
Apparently the suspect had bolt cutters, he's--
They found the bolt cutters on the front porch.
So one can only assume
That he's probably inside the house still.
We got canine with us,
And him and I are gonna go try to take care of it.
(car door opens and shuts)
Housam: Who was? You don't know who this guy is?
-That guy over there told me that the owner
Of the house is out of town. So.
-Housam: Okay. Yeah, okay.
(gate swings open)
(dog whimpering)
(dog barking)
-K9, you better come out now. You gonna get bit!
(dog barking aggressively)
-Sheriff's office k9. You better come out now with your hands up.
-Deputy jose oliveras: Sheriff's office k9.
(dog barking)
Sheriff's office k9.
You better surrender. You're gonna get bit.
-Going in the opposite.
-Lights. -All good.
-Go ahead. I got you. I got you, right?
-Yep. I'm gonna check with bathroom.
Just a quick check.
-Jose? -Oliveras: Yeah?
-The ceiling towels are pushed in for the attic.
Remember where we found that guy last time.
-Here, back here.
-See, it's pushed up.
-Getting on face, clean rest of the stuff.
-Go lock that door real quick.
-I got you. Just pop it. Yep.
-Sheriff's office k9. Better make yourself known.
-Is here another room in there?
-Hands out right there. -Come out!
-Put your hands up right now!
-Hands! Watch him, buddy.
-Watch him. -I got it. Hey. Hey.
Listen to me. Listen to me. -Get back up right now.
-Let him do the commands. I'm gonna do the handcuffing.
-Okay. Give-- put your taser on him.
Climb out.
Climb out! -Atta boy!
(dog barking)
-Hey, listen.
I'm gonna handcuff, you guys keep lethal. I need taser.
Let me deal with the rest. Get out!
-You got back there. You can get out.
(radio chatter)
If you, if you reach for anything--
Uh-uh, hey, don't get your gun.
Don't get your gun too close to him.
-Hey, just back up. Let him, hey.
If he does something stupid, the dog will take care of.
-Get. Get out.
-So this is a tight squeeze... -I know.
-You get in front of me, imma back out with the dog. -Get the dog out.
I'm good. Go ahead.
(loud shuffling)
Face away from me. When you get out, turn around,
Turn around, turn around, turn around, mind your back.
Behind your back. Behind your back. Behind your back.
That was not a smart move on your end, sir.
At all, stand up.
You can walk. You got back there.
Let's go.
(radio chatter)
-Housam: You almost got bit.
-Radio: Call 1-23. -Dispatch: Call 1-23.
-We have a 10-8-5...
-Alright, sit. On this bumper.
Sit down.
Okay. So what is your business,
Cutting that door off with bolt cutters and going in there?
-Well I thought, I thought,
I thought my brother was in there.
-You thought your brother was in there? Who's your brother.
-His name is josh.
'cause he don't live-- he don't live around here.
I saw what looked like my brother,
Uh, go through a window and I couldn't get,
I was looking in the windows and I, I couldn't see anything.
So I went back to the house.
So I got something that I could do 'cause I,
I had to get in...
-Okay. So you're not answering. Listen to me.
Listen to me. Listen carefully, because I'm gonna
Give you an opportunity to explain why you cut
Using bolt cutters that door off,
And went inside of this house.
You just told me you were looking for your brother.
-Yeah.
-And then you said your brother doesn't live around here.
So what is your purpose? Listen to me.
Look at me. Can you not, are you not able to focus right now?
'cause you're high or what?
-I, I think, yeah, it feels like it. Yes.
-Okay. High on?
Meth, spice...
-It doesn't feel like any of those, anything like that.
I've done those things. -What does it feel like?
-Uh, it feels like...
Like I'm hallucinating.
-Okay.
-Like, like I don't know that hallucinating.
It doesn't feel like hallucinating.
I, I'm pretty sure I know what I saw. -Okay. Well did you,
Did you consume something that would make you feel this way?
-Last thing I ate was at a tom thumb on, on west--
-No. No, no.
I'm not talking about food. I'm talking about illegal drugs.
-Ice. I mean...
-Ice? Okay. -I don't see how...
-That makes sense to me. So again,
What is your purpose of being in that home?
If you don't live there?
-I just was trying to get him out.
I didn't understand what was going on, so.
-Okay, well, here's, here--
Let me help you understand a little bit.
You are going to jail for burglary,
Which is a felony in the state of florida.
Do you have any questions about that?
-Yeah. -What's your question.
-Do you have to steal something to be arrested?
-No, sir. You do not.
-Sir, this warrant is for burglary.
-Okay. And you have a warrant for burglary, so.
-For what? -I've already searched him.
I'm assuming you wanna search him before he goes in there.
But our conversation is done here.
-Officer: Okay.
-We're, we're running circles like a broken record.
Good luck to you, man. -You don't know what's--
-Hey, bud. I'm just curious though.
So you heard the dog barking, right?
-Yes, sir.
-And then you heard at least people yelling, right?
-Yeah. I just heard yelling, that's all I heard.
-So why wouldn't you poke your head out and say, hey,
I'm right back here. I don't have any weapons.
You can see my-- -I was really, really scared.
-Oliveras: Scared of what?
-I don't know. It was a lot of yelling,
And a, you know, a dog. I can understand that.
I thought somebody, I don't know.
I thought somebody was just coming to like,
I don't know what was going on.
-Coming into somebody else's house? Like you just did.
-Like, well my brother. Yeah, but my brother.
-Brother what? -We're going in circles.
-I don't understand why I have a burglary charge
For what.
-All right, man. Well, as far as hide and seek--
-I don't understand. -Yeah. There's no points.
-You lost hide and seek today.
He's got a warrant for burglary.
-Officer: Imagine that, he's got a warrant
For the same crime he just committed.
-Deputy aaron williamson: I believe it's pretty
Safe out here in nye county in general.
We work with limited resources at times,
But between the community and all the other deputies
That I work with,
I think we do a pretty good job at trying to
Either make it safe or make people feel safe.
I prefer being out here than in a big city,
And I've lived in one for over 20 years,
And I love it out here now.
(beeping)
Got a report of a person with a gun.
Walking down the street, waving it around.
South seven.
I have the male walking in the middle of the street.
Lola-one-six, down 372.
-Radio: Copy in the middle of the street. Lola 372.
-Keep your hands where I can see 'em.
-It's not even made. -Please drop it.
Just drop it. -It's not even made. It's a glock, sir.
-Let go of it. There you go. -I ain't playing no games, man.
Get down on the ground right now.
-Yes, sir. -Down on the ground.
Can you hold the channel?
-Hold down like an airplane. -Officer: Easy.
-Take your left hand, put it behind your back.
-Relax, gimme a second. -Thank you.
-Officer: Take a right.
-Man: Alright, here I can.
-Any other weapons on you? Knives, guns, anything like that?
-I think I got two pens. -Two pens?
-Yeah. And a couple of id cards.
-You certified to carry those pens?
-Yes, sir. -Yeah.
-Want me to start breath?
-Yeah.
-Officer: Hold 'em at the front of her car,
And we'll move yours out of the way here.
Is yours open?
Since you already have a hold of him.
-What's going on, bud?
-Oh, nothing, I was just showing you guys
The new glock 17. That was a bb gun. That's all.
-That was a bb gun? -Yeah, that was all.
I'm just walking to walk,
Maybe 'cause I was peacocking a little bit.
'cause there are some hot chicks around here. So I'm sorry about that.
-So you're just out looking for some--
-Yeah. I thought I was, um... -Cute girls.
-Yeah. I thought, I thought I was navy, but I'm really coasties.
No, I painted that.
-Officer: What's your first name, bud?
-First name is noel (no audio).
-Officer: You got any id on you, bud?
-Yes, I think. This side. -Where's it. That one?
Alright, go on face the front. -Alright, bet.
-This pocket right here? -Yes sir.
-Officer: That's right. Obviously,
Now isn't even a real gun, but had he pointed that up at me?
Might definitely have been a bad day for him.
You look at it. You can see that it's a bb gun.
The co2 cartridge goes in right here.
But looking at it from a distance.
If you were to pull that out and wave it around as multiple
Motorists thought, it looks like a real handgun.
-Man: Sorry. -Officer: At what point did you think
It was smart to come running
Down the middle of the street with that in your hand?
-Man: 'cause I, I was just feeling good.
Like feeling like I needed to go see a female. You feel me?
-Officer: So pulling a gun?
-No, I had the gun just chilling.
Like people are just driving by, I'm over here.
Just like, you know, I'm drilling for,
To be a, a fricking...
G, really coasties, special forces.
I might have been on a boat somewhere
Without a, a paddle and it sunk.
So I'm like (beep) that slam (beep) dunk.
Got dipped out with the whip and the clip.
-So what was your plan with having that handgun out?
-Just to see you guys. Make sure it--
-Just to see me.
-Yeah. 'cause I got stung by two bees, feel me?
-Officer: So you figured pull a gun out when the cops show up.
-That, that (beep) was already out, g.
I was walking down the street with,
I thought I was in chi town.
-Officer: Where do you live at?
-Everywhere. I'm from chicago though.
Main street.
The hill. We got some drill growing.
-Officer: When's the last time you used.
-What? Used what?
-Officer: Anything.
-Like four and a half hours ago? Four weeks ago?
No, like two hours ago.
That (beep) was garbage,
And the bitch yelled at me for doing nothing.
And I did all the work yesterday.
Like and the reason I got caught out.
'cause I smoked hella dank and that (beep) was fire.
So, so I'm like, yeah, let's see where my guys are up to.
I'm a little bored so I ain't get no cookies and milk.
And mama told me to get out the crib early.
-Officer: Are you on medications?
-Nope. Her name was, I don't know.
No, I'm not on medication.
I'm on weed though.
And I feel hell of good after three car accidents.
Hell yeah. I'm on medication.
I be vacation.
-When, when the last time you smoked weed? -Like 10 minutes ago.
-Officer: Ten minutes ago. -(man laughs)
-Officer: The only thing you took today was weed?
-Yeah. And there's a lot of weed growing,
And I didn't sleep much last night,
Because I got hella cold last night.
So excuse my cotton mouth. And I could use breath mint.
You know what I'm saying?
-Well, we can't help you out there. -Damn!
-Officer: Why? That's the matter?
-My legs are just hurting a little bit.
I had to twerk right foot. You know what I mean?
-You gotta twerk?
-I got twerk with it. Like, can I get some gas,
Please, work with it. Feel me, like.
-Officer: We got a pc. -Deputy: What was that?
-Officer: A da confirmed and said, yes,
He will be in custody for waving a deadly weapon
In a threatening manner and waving it around.
We had seven callers.
I just found out from dispatch that seven people called in
About him trying to fight this sign over here and then
Running down the middle of the street, waving a gun around.
So he'll be going to jail today for those felony charges.
-Sir. It's not functionable.
-Officer: Can't tell that from a distance.
-So how are they going to tell me something?
How they gonna tell you something where I get a charge?
'cause they can't tell that from a difference.
It's not my fault they slow.
-Officer: It's your fault. You're out waving it around.
-I wasn't waving it.
I was actually just making sure I maintain it
Before I go to vegas, sir.
'cause I meant that-- -well, he's gonna put you
In the back of his car for now.
-Man: Alright. As long as I'm not getting charges, right?
Like if I do, can I get like a, a state taxes?
-Officer: Alright, that was fantastic
With the citizens calling in real quick,
And letting us know that here's a guy running
Down the street with a gun and fighting signs,
And you see him standing in the middle of the road.
When you pull up with a gun in his hand,
It was perfect that everybody,
Nobody stopped and tried to go after him themselves.
They called us, let us come out and handle it.
We'll reach out to him and get statements from him.
And then that way we can go ahead,
And get charges done on this.
But it's great when the community steps in,
Which is what's nice out here in this area is
Most of our people in this area are quick to step in and help us out.
-Deputy stephen housam: I started off in the jail,
Which I think really propelled me forward into this,
Out here on the street,
And was able to learn how to speak with people,
And talk to a variety of, of different people groups.
Whether it's different ethnicity or backgrounds.
It's been really beneficial.
I've enjoyed my time out here in escambia.
I've been able to really connect with the community.
One brake light on this vehicle coming out
Of one of our hotels
That's known for narcotics and other issues.
So we're gonna see what's going on with him real quick.
(car beeping)
-Radio: 3-9-4 case number.
-Hey, you doing? Oh, how's it going?
-Man: Doing alright. -Good. Hey, the reason I'm stopping you,
You've only got one brake light.
-I'm sorry. -That's okay.
Why? What, what you got going on with your hands
All over the place like that?
-I'm just not even, this is just my first time ever--
-(radio chatter) -you never...
Where are you? Where are you from?
-Man: I'm from pensacola, man. I'm not from here.
-You've never been pulled over before. -No, sir.
-Okay. Well we're not gonna do anything funny
As long as you don't. Do you have your,
Do you have your driver's license? Your insurance? Your registration?
-I was just going out to the mcdonald's. I stay right here.
-Okay. -I didn't grab anything, man.
-That's okay. I can write it down.
No big deal. What's your first name, partner?
-Man: Brian. -What was that?
-Man: Brian. With an I. -B-r-I-a-n?
-Brian: Yes.
-Okay. Let me go back here. I'll run all this stuff,
And then I'll be right back with you. Okay. You're good.
-Alright. -You can relax if you want.
It's up to you, or you can hang your hands out there.
-Hands up. I ain't doing nothing. -Okay. All right.
(radio chatter)
This gentleman does not have a driver's license.
Looks like he's never even had one.
So he shouldn't even been operating in this vehicle.
So we're gonna go up there and get him out.
'cause he can't be driving anyway. So he can't go anywhere.
That's probably why he was so evasive with my question about
The driver's license issue.
-Hey mr. Brian, can I talk to you out here, please?
-Brian: Alright, sure.
Is it alright if I unbuckle my seatbelt? -Oh, sure, absolutely.
So here's the deal. You don't have a driver's license.
You can't drive on the florida roadway at all until you have
A driver's license. Okay.
I'm just gonna have you put your hands right here.
I'm gonna pat you down real quick just to make sure there
Are no guns and then we'll go from there.
-I don't have no weapons. No, sir.
-Awesome. Thank you so much.
Is that your wallet right there? -Yes, sir.
-All right. Sweet.
Let's come over here. What's that?
-All right. -You're good.
The headlight that's blinking on the passenger side.
Let's stand over there real quick.
-So my dog alerted to the odor of narcotics on the vehicle
And I started here. This is the side he hit on.
And the first thing I noticed in the passenger door pocket,
At least it's the lid to a scale which is, you know,
Common for narcotics. You know, guys,
Wanna make sure that they're not getting ripped off.
So they weigh it themselves and see this little baggy?
Maybe the remnants of something.
-You got nothing on you that's gonna poke me, stick me, cut me?
Anything like that?
Don't worry about your cigarette.
Put your hands right here.
Put your feet back to me.
-Brain: That's my box.
-Here we go.
-That's my weed.
-You know, you could have just told me about this.
I wouldn't have been mad at you.
-Brian: Man, I didn't even know I had (beep) in my wallet.
I smoke, man.
-You didn't know you had this in your wallet?
-But I smoke. -Well, clearly.
Well, I'll tell you what, let's,
Let's have a seat in the back of
The car over here real quick.
And you wanna slide them shoes on real quick and let's see
What we can get figured out for that. Okay.
-Officer: My car? -Please.
I appreciate you being cool about everything.
-Brian: Yes, sir. I just never got pulled over, man.
-I hear you. I got you.
All right. Have a seat real quick.
We, oh, you got it?
Take your time. Don't, don't hurt yourself.
Okay. You good? -Brain: Yes sir.
-All right, man. I appreciate it. Hang tight for just a sec.
It's about five grams worth of weed. So not a whole lot.
Medical marijuana is legal at this point,
But this is not medical marijuana.
It's not packaged appropriately.
This is some street box stuff.
That's a misdemeanor in the state of florida.
-(radio chatter) -brian, how are you?
-How you doing? -Okay, so quick recap.
Here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna cut you some slack today. Okay.
So you can't drive obviously with no driver's license.
That's what this is for.
And then you can't possess marijuana. I'm sorry.
Illegal marijuana. Less than 20 grams in florida,
Which is what this is for. Okay?
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get you out.
Right here is an agreement that says
That you're gonna go to this court date at this time.
Basically, you're saying
"I'm committing to go to this court date." okay.
-Brian: Alright. And if you don't sign this,
You don't qualify for this ticket to be able to go,
Which means you have to go to jail.
So it's, I'm trying to get you some slack,
And get you outta here-- -this thing right here.
I can't even, really twist my wrist, like.
-Let's get you out,
And get them out. How's that sound? -Yes, sir.
-Let's go to the front of the car. Okay.
That way you don't have to sit back here. You got it.
All right, right here's fine.
Let's get these bad boys off.
How's that? A little better?
-Yeah. Look at my wrist, that mother starting--
-They're not comfort. They are not made for comfort.
Are they? -Hell, nah.
-Okay. All right.
Let's get this paperwork squared away so you can get outta
Here, enjoy the rest of your night.
And go get your food, right?
-Yes, man. -Okay.
This is where you gotta sign.
I agree to appear at this time and place.
Okay. If they don't,
They do a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear.
-Don't worry about it, I'm, imma go.
I got my own life ahead of me, man, I'm not gon'.
-You do. You're young.
-Not trying to goddamn--
-And that's why I'm trying to get you outta here with these
Tickets instead of getting you to jail because you're too
Young to be sitting down at the county jail.
When I got other fools out there doing some nonsense
Who really deserve to be sitting in there.
I'm not gonna ticket you for the brake light.
I'm not gonna ticket you for anything else.
-Yes, sir.
This is just a warning for the brake light. Okay?
You're a free man.
Your marijuana's going with me though. Does that sound fair?
-Brian: Yes, sir.
-Radio: 132 and bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code 3. -Thanks 10.
(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code 3.
(theme song playing)
