-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.
-Growing up in a small town in texas,
I always enjoyed hunting and fishing.
I found it relaxing to be outside,
Away from everything.
And when I moved to florida,
I took up offshore fishing,
Which is a nice break from patrol.
And not only that, we have some of the greatest,
You know, fishing here in pensacola, florida,
And I'm very fortunate and thankful for that.
I'm gonna get out with this suspicious truck
That's blocking people in over here at this motel.
What's up, man? -Suspect: What's up?
-You're in the way, man.
-Oh, I was, I'm waiting on my friend.
-Your friend. -Yes, sir. I ain't doing--
-What's he doing over here?
-Oh, I'm just giving him a ride.
-You're giving him a ride? You got any id on you?
-No, sir.
-You don't have any id? You're driving.
-Right here's my wallet.
-Where are you from, buddy? -Suspect: Oklahoma.
-Oklahoma? -Suspect: Yes, sir.
-Anything illegal in the car? -Suspect: No, sir.
-Nothing. Has there ever been anything illegal in the car?
-Yes, sir. I just got outta jail.
-Okay, so what was in a car that was illegal?
-When I got arrested? -Yeah.
-I got arrested for trafficking.
-Cull: Trafficking what? -Methamphetamine.
-Cull: Is there any methamphetamine car?
-No, sir. -Cull: No.
-No, sir.
Like I swear to god,
I'm just sitting here waiting on a friend.
I ain't here for--
-What room number did he go into?
-Suspect: I wanna say that second one right there.
-Top floor? -Suspect: Bottom.
-Bottom floor. -Yes, sir.
Like I ain't here to do nothing wrong.
-Cull: All right, hang tight. Don't go nowhere.
13-26, new warrington.
Copy vehicle 14.
3-37.
White male, green shirt, blue short, blue pants,
Running south on navy.
(breathing heavily)
Stop!
I'm gonna let the dog loose!
Dogs will get you!
Get on the ground!
Turn over! Turn over!
(breathing heavily)
3-37, 10-15.
Why'd you run, dude? -That's the dope spot, man.
Like, I'll tell you whatever you need.
I, dude, that wasn't me.
-Cull: Stand up. -That was the dope stop, dog.
-Stand up. -That's how I got my--
-Stand up. -That's how I got--
-You got dope in the car?
(police sirens blare)
-Like, I'll give y'all whatever y'all need.
I'll talk to y'all.
Like that ain't me though.
I ain't trying to get caught up. -You shouldn't have ran, dude.
You didn't have to run. -Like, I was done either way.
-Why were you done?
-Do what? -Why were you done, dude?
You didn't do nothing wrong. I just got on with you.
You didn't do, you literally did nothing wrong.
-Yeah, but-- -until you ran.
-Officer: What kind?
-White truck. Pickup truck chevy.
-Like-- -put him in your car.
(sirens blare)
-Glass smoking pipe in the bowl.
-Cull: What's that?
-Haley: Glass smoking pipe and a bowl.
-That's it? -He ran for a meth pipe.
We'll find out.
-But that's so far.
-It looks like it's gonna be meth
Right here in the center console of his truck.
What is that? -Y'all take care of this then.
-Top and bottom consoles are good.
-Haley: All right, I'm gonna start getting this.
-It's a small, looks like a little gram baggy of meth.
I'm just testing it for methamphetamine.
If it turns blue, which it did,
Which is positive for methamphetamine.
Evidently, this is why he ran.
I guess he knew that there was meth in there.
Is that his pipe?
-That's the one that was in the driver's door.
That's the cell phone that was in the driver's seat.
-I'm gonna turn that in for--
-Yeah, I'm checking under the hood right now.
-All right.
The edges tested positive for--
On his pipe.
So it tested positive as well.
Hey buddy.
All right.
What do you think we found in there?
-Probably a little bit of dope.
-Yeah. -That was it.
-Did you think we would find it,
That's why you-- -yes, sir.
-I knew y'all would-- -(radio chatter)
And I wasn't gonna be the one who tried to like,
I'm already taking a charge for something.
I ain't trying to take another one.
Like, I'll do what I gotta do, sir.
-Well, I'm just gonna let you know that you're gonna be going to jail
For possession of methamphetamine.
Okay? That meth pipe that was in there,
I'm just gonna put that in for destruction.
I'm not charging you for that. -I appreciate it.
-And I'm not towing your car. -I appreciate it.
-Your truck's gonna be parked right over here.
-Can I make a call to have somebody come get it?
-Well, I'm gonna take the keys with us.
-Yes, sir. -The keys are gonna be with you.
-Will I have a bond? -Yeah, it's gonna be $5,000.
So $500.
-Suspect: Really? -Yeah.
-Suspect: I appreciate you. I really do.
I appreciate it. -All right, man.
You got any more questions for me?
-Suspect: No, sir.
-All right. All right, sir.
-I'm sorry. -Don't apologize to me, man.
Just get your act, get your act together
And that way you don't have to apologize.
-It's for running off.
-Cull: All right, don't worry about it.
I'm still pretty fast. (car door slams)
-Working swing shifts is great,
'cause you got more opportunity
To get into stuff later in the day.
People get crazy later in the day.
It's even better whenever you have a good partner that can
Read where you're going with a call or with a stop.
It helps the day go by a little bit quicker
And it makes our job easier
Whenever your partner can know what you're gonna do
With a certain stop
Before you even say what you're gonna do.
-All right, so we're gonna go check behind
The store back here,
'cause there's usually a lot of suspicious activity.
(car beeps) -liss: Good, how you doing?
This is an interesting motorcycle
You got going here, a lot of customization.
-It's buddy of mine's.
-You on probation, parole, or anything? -No, sir.
-You mind just taking that knife down,
Just down on the ground while we talk to you? Appreciate it, dude.
Is this your motorcycle? -Man: No, it's my buddy's.
-Oh it isn't, okay.
Do you have your id on you? -No, I don't.
-You don't have it?
Okay, why don't you take a seat for me over here?
Where'd your buddy get his motorcycle from?
-Man: I don't know. He bought it somewhere.
-Did you do the artwork yourself, my man?
-Man: No, it's my buddy's bike. -Ah, okay.
-How long you had the bike?
-It's not my bike. I don't know.
-Liss: That's what I mean, like,
How long you've been borrowing it from your buddy?
-I'm not borrowing it from my buddy. He's inside the store.
-Liss: Oh he is? -Yeah.
How'd you guys get here? -Road.
-Oh, you rode together? -Yeah. Okay.
-Rhoades: You want me to take it?
The bottom two names. Did you get the plate on this?
-Liss: Yeah.
-Did you put the tires on there?
Fairly new? -Man: Not my bike.
-It's not your bike. -Man: No, sir.
My buddy's inside the store.
-Oh, he's inside the store?
What's his name? -Man: James.
-I feel like I've seen that bike before.
James? Stand up for me real quick.
I'm just gonna pat you down.
You don't have any guns or anything, right?
-What's going on? -Apparently it's stolen.
-It's not my bike, dude. -Okay. Do you have anything on you
That's gonna cut me, stick me, or poke me?
-No. It's not my bike, guys.
-Okay. -So why are you guys taking me in custody?
-Rhoades: Just hang tight, hang tight. Huh?
-Why are you taking me into custody? It's not my bike.
-Hey, listen. We're investigating, okay.
You're standing next to a stolen bike.
I see one helmet, two helmets.
I don't see a second person though.
-No, he's inside the store. I told you.
-Rhoades: Okay. What's he look like?
-White boy, shaved head.
-Dang, dude, you a janitor?
Six different kinds of car keys
That are filed down.
Do you have james's phone number?
-Man: No. -Rhoades: No.
-Man: He don't have a phone.
-Liss: Easy for me, buddy.
-Why am I getting in the custody?
It's even my bike, dude.
-Well right now, you're just detained, buddy.
-Liss: You're not arrested.
-Rhoades: What's he look like? -White boy, my height.
-Rhoades: What's he wearing?
-Man: Like a blue shirt, blueish gray shirt.
-Liss: Blue shirt and gray pants.
-Blue jeans, yeah.
-I mean, unless you're a janitor,
Usually you don't have this many keys. And even if you are,
You usually don't have like six different kinds of car keys.
And he had several tools as well.
He's got a history of stolen vehicles,
Possession of stolen vehicles,
All the accouterments.
He's also got two felony warrants,
One for possession of stolen vehicle
And for actually stealing a vehicle.
Somebody that's familiar with stealing cars
Will take keys that are shaved
To be able to get into vehicles that they don't belong to.
So it basically makes 'em a little bit slicker
So that way they can fit into ignitions.
So this one was pretty easy.
They just punched out the ignition
And they did some rewiring down here at the bottom,
So that way they could start it up,
And then they were outta here.
Thankfully we found it.
So the owner, hopefully,
The owner's not too ticked about the paint job.
Maybe they'll keep it, who knows?
It's beautiful.
"love machine." I like the name.
-I'm just good with the 4-96.
Unless, you think I should go check target.
-No. -Did you see anything?
-Liss: No, there's no one in there matching that description.
You sure it was kohl's or was it target? -That's what he told me.
-Liss: How long has he been in the kohl's?
-Not that long, like 5, 10 minutes.
-Well, you've been here for like 20, 30 minutes, right?
-Man: No, we just pulled up right before you guys did.
-According to other people around here,
You've been here longer than that.
-Man: No, we haven't. -All right, michael,
This bike comes back stolen, all right?
And I know that you said that
Your buddy's in target or kohl's or whatever,
But we can't find him,
Unless you got a phone number or something that
We can call 'em and-- -I don't have a phone number.
-Rhoades: Get his side of the story.
-I don't even have a phone on me.
-Rhoades: You don't even have a phone on you?
-No. -All right.
So bike's stolen.
Unfortunately, you're in possession of it right now so,
You'll be going to jail. What was that?
You know, you got two warrants?
One of 'em for stolen vehicle
And one of 'em for possession of stolen vehicle.
-The thing is, I don't even know why I have a warrant.
I did my time.
-Rhoades: I don't know either.
-That was no bail, no tell.
-Rhoades: Yeah, I'm not sure either.
Maybe you didn't read the paperwork all the way through.
Did you have something that
You were supposed to follow up with,
Like restitution or something like that? -No.
-I'm not gonna play dumb with you.
Some of these keys have been filed down too.
All right, you've been around the block.
Why are you carrying these around?
Especially with your history.
-They're not shaved keys.
-Rhoades: They're not shaved keys?
-They're actually work for the cars that they belong to.
-Rhoades: All right, what's your magnet for?
-So my keys will stay up on the fridge.
-Rhoades: Cause you know
What these are normally used for, right?
-Nope.
-Yes, you do. -No, I don't.
-Come on, dude.
-I don't know why you're saying I do, dude.
I don't know what they're used for.
-Rhoades: Here's what it is,
James, I haven't seen him yet.
I didn't even see him poke his head around the corner.
So, unfortunately, you're gonna take the rap for this one.
-For standing next to the bike?
-Rhoades: Yeah.
And you got a bunch of shaved keys too, dude.
A bunch of shaved keys
And a history of the same stuff.
You just got released from this like two weeks ago.
So stand up for me.
All right, have a seat for me.
I'll turn on the air.
There we go.
All right. (car door slams)
How you doing, sir? Found your bike.
-Oh, thanks. I was looking for it.
-Do you have your id on you and your insurance and things like that?
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it.
All right.
Is this your painting, your artwork?
-No. -Rhoades: No, this isn't.
What color was it before?
-Gray. -Rhoades: Gray.
-I have some pictures.
-Rhoades: How long ago did it get stolen?
-Since the 20.
-Rhoades: The 20th. Of this month?
-Yes. -Okay.
Either one of these helmets yours? -No, none.
-Okay. The ignition on it
Looks like they punched the ignition out.
-Yeah, also the latch.
They found it on the floor.
-Oh, you found it on the floor? -Found it.
-In corona. -Corona.
-Okay, all right.
It's yours. We're gonna get outta here.
-All right, thank you very much.
-Rhoades: I hope that you'll keep it "love machine."
(bike owner laughs)
It's gonna take a little bit of work to get that off, so.
-You know, people always ask me what it's like
Living in vegas.
And one of the biggest questions I get,
Which I find funny is,
What casino do you live in?
Well, most people don't realize it,
Vegas is just like any other city outside of the strip.
So being a cop here is kind of unique
Because we have, you know,
40 plus million visitors a year.
But at the same time,
We still have our community to protect and serve.
So this car in front of us just
Cut through private property to avoid a red light.
So we'll just stop 'em,
Make them aware of the violation.
See what's going on with them.
(radio chatter)
-(on radio): Copy that.
(car beeps)
-Hey, roll down all your back windows too.
How's it going? -I'm good. I'm okay.
-Put your other hand up on the steering wheel.
Officer young, metro police.
The reason I stopped you is you can't cut through
Private property to avoid a red light like that,
Right there on twain and maryland.
You went through the 7-11 parking lot
Because of the red light. You can't do that.
Are you all good, man? When you came to a stop,
You kinda hit the curb there a little bit.
-I got the sound on like that.
I get scared.
-Young: You got scared. -Yeah.
-Young: You haven't been drinking at all, have you?
-No. -Young: No. Okay.
-I'm sorry, delivery.
-Do you have a driver's license?
-Driver: Yes.
-And then registration and insurance.
Where are you headed to? Where's your delivery at?
-It's right here.
-You're right around the corner.
You're almost there. I'll try to make it quick for you.
(radio chatter)
So your front tire is blown out now.
You got a flat tire from hitting the curb.
-Driver: Okay. -Give me like two minutes
And then I'll let you hop out and look at it, okay.
And then you can figure out what you need to do.
And if there's something I can do to help you, I'll help you, all right.
All right, just hang tight.
Stopped this driver for cutting through private property
To avoid a red light and as I stopped him,
He kind of got a little nervous there and hit the curb,
Which end result, blew out his front tire.
So seems a little bit nervous,
But everything's checking out.
I mean, I don't think he's impaired at all.
He's just a food delivery driver
And he's actually en route right now to drop off food.
So obviously want him to get him there.
I don't wanna affect his job or anything like that.
Everything checks out with him.
So I'm just gonna let him know,
That way, have him hop out,
Look at the damage that's on his car right now.
See if there's anything I can do for him.
Julio, okay. Here's all your info.
What I'm gonna have you do is
I'm gonna have you come outta the car
And then that way you can see your tire
And see the kind of damage that you did to it.
Do you have like a spare tire or anything?
No?
You kind of did a good job too.
It doesn't look like-- doesn't look like the rim's bent.
You don't have a tire?
-I don't think so. I have no use it.
Let me find out.
-Young: Oh yeah, you got a little donut tire right there.
And a jack, a good jack too.
(tools rattle)
-Driver: Too small. -No, that's a donut tire.
That's normal. That'll fit.
So you shouldn't just,
You shouldn't drive around on it for too long,
But it'll at least get you to where you need to go
And home or get your tire fixed.
-I've been stopped at the police in five years.
-Really? -Since I here in this country.
-And this happens to you?
This looks important like it might go to something.
You know what? I'm not gonna lie to you.
This is a first time in five years
Where I'm gonna help somebody change a tire too, so.
-Okay.
-We're both in us together at this point right now.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Do you know what you're doing?
Yeah, it looks like you know what you're doing?
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I don't really change tires too much.
It's not in my job description.
-Driver: Hi, sorry.
-Young: Hey, will you give this guy a good review?
It's not his fault. So give him a good review.
-Customer: Okay.
-Driver: Enjoy, thank you. Sorry about that.
-How many cops does it take to change a tire?
I feel like there's a joke in there.
So, I pull this dude over.
He panics and blows his tire on the curb.
So I don't want to just like leave him stranded here.
He's a nice guy.
I just wanna help my guy out
And we can get on his way, continue working.
Let me know when you need help.
This guy right here, he's got muscle.
He could jump in.
That's going a little bit.
I think the best idea is brady,
If you just get in the front and you just lift, dead lift it.
-Brady: It's almost there.
-Young: Oh yeah, now it's good.
-Brady: You gotta be careful though.
-Young: Yeah, I don't wanna, yeah.
(indistinct)
These are the things they don't teach you in the academy,
Should probably recommend it to 'em now.
Yeah, it'll get you to where you need to go right now.
-Brady: You get a workout today or what?
-Ah, yeah, I didn't expect to show up to work,
To be changing tires.
Luckily, I saw this once on nascar so,
It turned out just how I thought it was gonna go.
Not as quick as him though.
(driver speaks spanish)
I recommend putting a little bit of air in it
'cause it's a little low on air.
-Thank you, officer.
-You're welcome. -It was a pleasure.
-Hey, moral of this story.
Don't cut through private property to avoid a red light
While a cop's behind you.
-I won't do ever again in my life.
You're gonna be sure about that.
-Young: Good. Get back to work now, okay.
-Driver: I think I got enough from work today.
-Young: Yeah, you and me both.
-(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)
