-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.
-Aaron myers: I joined the marine corps when I was 17,
Served for a total of four years.
I was able to travel around the world
At all different types of countries.
Experienced a bunch of different cultures.
I think as a deputy here in escambia now,
It's allowed me to be able to interact with all different
Walks of life out here in the street,
And able to connect with different people
On a daily basis.
We're headed to a burglary in progress.
Female caller called in and said,
Someone's trying to break into a car.
354. I just saw black male matching description
Run across the road, headed out to fairfield.
What'd he do?
-He just tried to steal the car!
He's turned away!
(indistinct radio chatter)
-354. He was trying to jack a car over here.
Victim at that address.
I see him running back eastbound on old fairfield.
Behind the house over here at that fairfield pool service.
(police radio chatter)
(chatter continues)
-Myers: Stop! Get on the ground now!
Show me your hands!
Hands straight out.
Hand on the lower of your back.
Hands on lower back.
(breathing heavily)
-Officer on radio: Y'all coming out the loop?
- 354, I'm 10-15.
-Dispatch: 10-4, 10-15, 21-38. Continuing traffic.
(grunts)
-Did you throw anything?
Let's go.
(police radio chatter)
-Huh?
(police radio chatter)
-Suspect: Raggedy-ass bitch.
Telling me to stop following you.
-I'm so freaked out. -Myers: You all right.
(indistinct female voice on radio)
-That's, he tried to push me out that door.
Anyway, he-- I had just got out that door
And he come, just jogging around right here, you know?
And I was like, I couldn't really see him.
-You're okay. -(woman crying)
-We've got him. Okay?
We've got him. Yeah.
I caught him. Okay?
-Man: Stop, megan, it's okay, baby.
-I never did anything! What's happening?!
-It's okay. -Man: Megan!
-Myers: Take a couple--
-Man: You want me to walk her around the car?
-Myers: Thank you.
Just focus on me. Okay? So you're...
-He just jogged, jogged right into the car.
He just sat there and I was like, what are you doing?
He was like, you got another one of those cigarettes?
I was like, who are you? I was like, get out of my car.
-Where were you at? Where were you at when he did that?
-Right there.
-Were you standing next to the car?
-I was standing in the door. -Myers: Okay.
And I was like, can you get out of the car?
I said, this is not my car. He was like, whose car is it?
So I thought he was playing with me,
And then he put it in reverse.
And when he put it in reverse, I jumped in on top of him.
Put my knee in his crotch,
And I elbowed him and I just started fighting him.
And he shoved me into the passenger's seat.
And then he reached over and opened that.
And then I started biting the (bleep) out of him.
-Myers: He reached over and opened what?
-Opened that door and tried to push me out.
And that's when he started punching me 'cause I punched him.
I think I, one time in the face and then he just started
Punching me, but I was biting the (bleep) outta him
The whole time. -Myers: Okay.
Did he do anything when you bit him or?
This is probably his blood on my face.
-Myers: Okay.
-In my mouth. I was biting down.
I wouldn't let go.
-Myers: Did he give you any other injuries?
Did he punch you or anything? -Yeah.
He punched me all in my head.
Yeah. He was constantly punching me.
-Myers: Okay, is this...
-And then finally he realized that I was not letting go.
-Is that, yeah, a little swelling right there in your eye.
-He grabbed some stuff, I think it was my eyeglasses.
Told him, I said, bitch, this car don't have no keys.
You dumbass. It's a push start.
That's when he realized and then he just jumped out and (bleep) hauled ass.
And I don't know why the cop came that way.
But thank god he did. -That was me. Yeah.
That was me. You talked to.
-You passed? -Yes, ma'am.
-And then my son had came out.
He's only 13, but he was like, get the (bleep) outta my yard.
I do not allow him to cuss. -Myers: That's okay.
-He did that. -You need ems?
-No. -Okay.
-I'm pretty tough. -Myers: All right.
That right there. -Megan: Oh yeah.
Uh-huh. -Myers: Okay.
-How you doing? Didn't get too far, did you?
Where's my keys?
Where'd you throw my car keys?
-Myers: Ah, ma'am. Stay over here.
-He's got... -Myers: I know.
We have a dog that's gonna go do an article search to see
If you can find 'em okay?
-I want every charge that you can press against his ass.
-First name megan. -And I'm pregnant.
-Okay. And you're pregnant?
-Oh yeah. -Okay.
And he, he hit you? -All in my face.
-On the face. -All in here.
-I think my county phone--
Can you take pictures of all her and her injuries for me?
-Officer: Yeah.
-Myers: Hey buddy. All right.
I'm still trying to get pieces of the story
And figure out what happened.
I need your side of the story.
Of what happened out here.
-Yeah, there was some random lady.
She had walked up to me, asked me,
Could she get a cigarette?
I gave it to her.
And then she went touching on me,
I guess she a hooker or something.
-Myers: Okay. -And I ain't like that.
I tried to close the door on her but.
-Myers: Closed the door. What door on her?
-Car door. She jumped in on me when I put it on first.
Then she-- -why were you...?
Is that your car? -That's right.
She bit my finger hard. You know, I don't--
-Myers: I'm just confused on why
She rolls up on you and she's wanting to feel up on you.
And then all of a sudden she starts fighting you?
And then you get your finger bit.
-Suspect: That what girls like, man.
I ain't wanna be aggressive. -That's what girls are like.
-Suspect: I don't got time for that.
-Why were you running away from me when I came out to the corner?
-I ain't see you. I only seen a flashlight.
-Why'd you take off running when I pulled up? -Huh?
-Why'd you take off running when I pulled up?
-Where did I run to? -We ran.
We did a nice little jog.
All the way around here, and I caught you
Back over there by that tree.
You don't remember that?
-There's a vent right there.
-Do you not remember me chasing you?
-No. -Myers: You don't.
All right. You're being charged for burglary, carjacking,
Battery, false name and obstruction without violence.
You understand that so far? -Suspect: Oh.
-Spencer weddle: So I've been a part of the riverside
Police department now for 10 years.
Before coming to the police department,
I spent time as a us marine for eight years.
After eight years,
I joined the united states air force,
And I flied c17s for them.
When I'm not doing police work,
I like spending time with my family
And coaching my son's football team on the weekends.
-C. Clinedinst: We just ran a record check on this license plate.
The vehicle came back stolen.
We're conducting a traffic stop.
-Weddle: 3-26 traffic.
Clinedinst: Hello. Come sit down for me, ma'am.
-Yeah.
-Sit down.
Drive license, registration, insurance, ma'am.
Clinedinst: No, you don't? Come back here, bro.
Step back for me. Back here.
Hey, let me see your hand. Quit--
-You see my hand, bro. -Quit trying to--
Whatever you're trying to do, bro,
-Doing nothing, bro. -Go ahead. Relax.
-What's up? Why you sweating me, bro?
-Threw a 26. Copy.
We got one in custody at the gas station.
Let's clear the car real quick. -Yeah, no problem.
-Clinedinst: Sit down. -My mom's in the back.
-What's your mom's name? -Cherry.
Clinedinst: Whose truck is it? -He bought it, right?
-You bought it? -Yeah.
-What's your name again, bro? -Derek.
-Yeah. -Yeah. You know me, bro.
Officer came up all crazy like that, bro. Like what the hell?
-You have nothing illegal on you, dude? -Both: No.
-Okay. I'm gonna have you stand up, all right?
-Yeah. -One, 2, 3.
Wanna watch her real quick?
-Nothing illegal in the truck, dude?
Huh? -Derek: Yeah.
Clinedinst: Okay. Take a...
Seat, dude.
-Weddle: Is this all y'all's stuff in the back?
- Yeah. -Weddle: Yeah?
-Makeup bag, the makeup box is mine. -Weddle: Is it all?
Are you, is this your vehicle? -No.
-Weddle: Whose vehicle is it? -It's my, my husband.
He bought it like-- -weddle: The guy that's in the back of the car.
It's his car? -Yeah. He bought it.
-Weddle: When did he buy it? -A week or two ago.
-Part of the suspicion that we had on this vehicle
Is the fact that it looks freshly painted.
It's supposed to be a black vehicle.
You can smell the fresh paint on it.
So just other indicators that people
Try to hide the fact that they're driving a stolen vehicle.
No pink slip. -No.
-And you gave him cash? -Yeah.
-Weddle: All right. Did he give you a key to it?
-Yeah.
-Weddle: The key that's in the ignition? -Derek: Yeah.
-Okay.
I looked at that and the ignition's all punched out.
Now, I also noticed the key that's in the ignition
Is a house key.
It's not a chevrolet key.
-Yeah. It, it, the, the ignition is messed up.
It starts up like, like it's already been jacked up, like.
-Weddle: Right. Did that seem, did that seem odd to you?
-I mean...
Yeah. Yeah, no.
You know it could, you know.
-Weddle: Have you ever stolen a car before?
-No, never.
-Weddle: Never have? -Never have.
-Weddle: Ever been caught in a stolen car? -Never.
Since I don't have a license,
I was just grateful to be able to buy the car.
You know what I'm saying? Like my last car, the suburban,
It, it, it was bought off of a--
-Weddle: When did you paint it?
-A brought a brother--
Um, I don't know.
Probably like a couple days ago?
-Weddle: Why'd you paint it?
-'cause I wanted it painted.
-Weddle: Why?
-What do you mean why?
-Weddle: Was there something wrong with the paint?
-Well, the body's been dinged up.
It's been scratched and stuff like that.
-Weddle: Right.
Kind of feel like you knew the car was stolen.
-Well, I have no knowledge of the car being stolen.
-Well, I feel like you painted it
To mask the fact that it was stolen.
-I didn't mask. I didn't try to mask
The fact that it stolen. I don't steal cars, bro.
I never have.
-Weddle: Well today you're gonna be arrested
For possession of a stolen vehicle.
Okay? -Why bro? Like.
-Because the car is stolen and you're in possession of it.
-I didn't steal the car, bro.
It's true.
I ain't, straight up. I didn't steal the car.
-You're not being arrested for grand theft auto.
You're being arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle.
All right? That's what you're being arrested for.
-You can even ask, you can ask my baby's mom over there.
If I... -Weddle: She told me.
She told me that you purchased it.
I'm not denying the fact that you purchased it,
But that car didn't belong to the person
That sold it to you.
-I've never stole a car, bro.
So I honestly don't know how you steal cars or anything.
-I've never stolen a car either,
But I know what a stolen car looks like.
Sit tight for me.
(car door shuts)
-Weddle: Ma'am. -Okay.
Has anybody explained to you what's going on?
-Yeah, he told me the car was stolen.
I mean, embarrassing and I didn't know that.
So because I gave him money to buy the car.
-Weddle: Oh, you did? -Yeah.
-Weddle: Okay. Derek is gonna go to jail
For being in possession of a stolen car.
I'm not charging him for stealing the car. That's a separate charge.
He's just being arrested for being in possession of stolen vehicle.
The fact that he painted the car tells me that he knew
That something was not right with the car.
So he's trying to mask the color of it.
So if he didn't know that the car was stolen,
He should've. Just-- -yeah, I mean.
-No pink slip and $1,200 for that. For that truck.
-I told him, where's the pink slip at?
He's like, oh, he couldn't find it.
I was like, come on, man. You know what I'm saying?
I go, tell me the truth. Is it stolen?
'cause, you know-- -so you asked him that?
-Yeah. And he told me, no. I told him, no. -There you go.
I told him, he goes, no, it's not stolen.
He goes, because he goes, because I go because if, I go--
-Weddle: See, even you knew.
What did he say when you told him you sure it's not stolen?
-No, vehicle is not stolen. I go, all right.
You know what I'm saying? Stupid me. You what I mean?
-Weddle: All right. -Is this yours?
All right. Whose vehicle is it?
-His. -All right.
-Awesome.
-It's-- he's already painted on everything.
-Yeah, he painted it for you. You got a fresh paint job.
-I know.
-Did you give anybody permission
To take your vehicle? -No, they stole from my--
I'll go work,
I parking in the main grant over there in corona.
When I come back to work, it's not there no more.
-Weddle: We have a person in custody.
He's gonna be arrested today for possession of your vehicle illegally.
And he's got some other stuff that he shouldn't have.
-All right.
-That he's gonna be booked into jail for as well.
As soon as they get all their stuff out of it--
-Yes.
-Weddle: I wanna make sure that all your stuff
Is still in it and there's nothing in there
That doesn't belong to you. -Okay.
So that we can send you away with your vehicle in the best
Condition that you left it, all right?
-All right.
-Eric murphy: With our agency, we're small to where
We have to wear several different hats.
We have deputies that are in canine
Or deputies that work swat.
You have lieutenants that have to cover the street.
So it's very diverse.
And I think that's what makes us
A very interesting department to work for.
One of my deputies trespassed a couple people
From this property the other day.
And now I just saw a male and female come on the property.
So we're gonna see if we can make contact with them,
And see why they're back on the property again.
(indistinct radio chatter)
-I'm out with one.
-Automated voice: Recording.
-Hey, what are you guys doing back on the property, man?
You guys know your trespassed from the property, right?
-My mom's in here, I can't explain like his name,
But he told me to come back and I said,
Help get this. Help out my mom.
-Somebody's in the trailer too? -Yeah. My girlfriend.
-Stand over by my truck. -Yes, sir.
Can I set this down?
-Murphy: Set it down and then go stand by my truck.
Hey, sheriff's office. Come out here.
Go stand over there. Who else is in there?
-I don't know.
My mother-in-law and her daughter,
But I never got trespassed.
-The deputy that trespassed everybody is on his way here.
-I never got trespassed.
-Well, you're gonna be trespassed here in a second.
Who else is in the trailer?
-My mom.
-Stand right there. Don't move.
Sheriff's office. Come out of the motor home.
Come on. -He said we're not trespassed
Until the motor home is moved. -Go stand over there.
Who else is in here?
-No one.
-So you guys know you're not supposed to be on the property.
-No. They told-- -no. My deputy's on the way.
And he said, he told you to have it out by five o'clock that day.
-Yeah, and I couldn't. I have a tire!
Look at my tire.
-Murphy: Do you know what trespassing is though?
-He said when you're mobile home is moved.
-Murphy: No, he told-- well, he's gonna be here.
He just told me on the phone that he told you,
You had at five o'clock.
You had until five o'clock that day to get outta here.
-I couldn't get it. Look at my tire.
I'm one person. -You're trespassed.
-How do I change a tire if I can't be here?
-Murphy: You need to contact the owner,
And let him know when you're gonna come get it.
-We did! -Okay. What did he say?
-All I left was a voicemail. I said, I'll be going back on there.
-Right. The motor home can be here, you can't.
You're trespassed. -Yes!
I have to come and change my tire.
I just brought this tire right now.
-I literally, I just got the ice. We just got here.
I just brought this tire! -Code four.
-We haven't been staying here. -Murphy: Right?
-We haven't been here. -But you're trespassed
From the property. You cannot-- -he told.
-Murphy: You don't understand what I'm telling you.
You can't be on the property.
So these guys all-- we drive by--
I see the man, male and female.
-Woman: I mean, I never got trespassing.
-I see them walking across the property.
I know from the stuff last week
That they're not supposed to be on the property.
-Right.
-Murphy: Dingo. He says he trespassed them,
Told them that they had to be outta here
By five o'clock that day. -I called his office!
-Hold on. You said who talked to?
I'm sorry. Who's roy? -Roy.
-That's the owner of the property. -How do you know that?
-He's the real estate agent.
-Murphy: So she says that you told her that
She didn't have to leave until the motor home leaves.
-No. -Woman: But I called today.
He's not answering. I need roy to answer the phone.
Yeah. He showed me that, that was the owner.
-Yeah, but you guys are trespassed.
-You would have to speak to the owner of the property and--
-We just wanna clean it out and tear it down.
And rebuild.
-Did you stay here last night? -Oh, hell no.
We don't stay here at all. -Okay.
-Like my mom, like we literally came,
Brought her ice, and oil.
And everything she can need, like, to, you know--
-Murphy: Where are you staying at now, with her?
-No. Yeah. I've been staying with her.
-Murphy: With your girlfriend, right?
-Yes. -Murphy: Where at?
-We stay like out over there.
-Murphy: Out over there?
-But I was bringing oil,
Trying to get this generator running.
-So let me ask you something.
Why are you trying to get the generator running,
When you're supposed to be leaving?
And last Tuesday,
She's complaining to deputy armendariz about the tire.
And now we're here again.
And she's still complaining
About trying to get the tire fixed.
You know what I'm saying?
-Woman: They could not get this tire off.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with it.
-So do you remember saying,
That if you come back you're subsequent to us...
-Well, you told me that I had to get this off of here.
-I told you, you have to get it off.
-You said, as soon as you get off here, you cannot come back.
-No, I did not say that. -That's what you said.
-Did not say that. I said, if you're gonna get this off here,
You have to do it before five or six. -Well you said today.
-Before I get back. -And you said you were gonna come out.
-I was gonna come back. -We waited and waited for you.
-Yep. -You never showed.
-Yep. So that didn't give you permission to stay here though
If I didn't show. -No.
The other officer that came out, 'cause we called.
-Yeah. -Another officer came out.
He called roy. And roy told us that we had permission
To get the trailer off. -Yeah.
And not to stay on the property.
-No, we're not staying.
We just came today,
Because we're waiting on the mechanic to come get this tire.
On it. -Who's the deputy you talked to?
-I don't know all your guys' name.
I know you and gideon.
-Okay. -That's the names I know.
-He clearly told them that they need to be outta here
By five o'clock that day he trespassed him.
So as far as I'm concerned,
She can go and he can go if that's what he wants to do.
But I would take him.
Because he says, he's over here.
When I pulled up, he was putting oil in the generator.
There's no concept I'm ever gonna believe that she's packing and moving.
-You're gonna be arrested for trespassing. -Your mom's going too, man.
-Is my girlfriend not? -Your girlfriend's gonna
Be trespassed right now from here.
-I couldn't have walked away?
-No. Hey sandra, you're free to go.
-I'm sorry. You said this is your bag, right?
-Yeah.
-You know all the content in it, right?
-Well, it's not mine.
It's hers, but I'm just taking it for her to get rid of it.
-You said it's yours. It has your card in it.
-It has-- not my card. -Put that down.
-Has not my card in it. -Put that down.
But it's not mine, officer.
-Put it down. Found a meth pipe in there.
-But it's not mine. -Turn around.
You're under arrest. -Are you serious?
It's not mine though. -You said it was your bag!
-Because I was trying to take it for her. -Your card's in it, so.
-It only has one card of mine in there, and I think she had my card.
- Let go of the cigarette, let go of the cigarette.
-Are you serious? You're gonna arrest me for something that's not mine?
-You're under arrest. -You said it was yours!
-Officer, I was just trying to help her out.
-Murphy: It's got your id in there.
-And I don't have an id in there!
-Well, it has a card, it has in there.
-Officer!
It wasn't mine. -Well, you said it was yours.
So you're under arrest, okay?
-One of my deputies found a satchel.
And there's some crystallized substance,
And paraphernalia used to smoke meth.
So we got three people in custody right now.
Two will be for trespassing.
The girlfriend's gonna be under arrest
For possession of paraphernalia and probably meth.
It's just a rough situation for everybody.
-(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)
