-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 john ninneman: When I was in high school, I had an opportunity
To do a ride-along, and it left an impression on me
And I decided, that's the career field I wanted to get into.
Now, working for the adams county sheriff's office
As a patrol deputy, I'm able to
Have an exciting job, meet new people every day,
And leave a good impression on the public.
We just have a vehicle going northbound,
That has no headlight.
I believe it's driver's side.
-(siren wailing)
-268, code 6.
Dispatcher: 268, go ahead.
-Ninneman: Northbound federal,
He's already failure to yield.
I will be in pursuit,
70th and federal northbound.
Charles, I believe (indistinct).
-(tires screeching)
-268, he's approaching 72nd,
But he did go into oncoming here at the city inn.
Dispatcher: Copy, approaching 78th and (indistinct)
Oncoming traffic, 2120.
-Ninneman: He's bookin' it.
Pulling into taco bell.
-(sirens wailing)
Show me your hands! Do it now!
Show me your hands!
Stop! Police!
Police!
-(footsteps thumping)
-Show me your hands, lay out!
-Deputy: Keep your hands up, do not move!
-Ninneman: He was throwing back there so just--
-Deputy: Got him?
Any weapons?
You're under arrest, don't move.
-(radio conversation) -got him?
-Deputy 2: Keep both hands up next to the vehicle.
Keep your hands up. Keep your hands up.
Okay, face away from me. Take two steps to your right.
Okay. Stop.
-Deputy 3: Who's on the right of you?
-(indistinct) -okay, I'm gonna go back.
Walk back to my voice.
Walk, walk. Keep going.
Stop.
-So we'll go talk to him first.
Hey, real quick, man, so my name is deputy ninneman.
I know you're tired. I'm a little tired too.
So what happened?
-Honestly, I know my license is suspended.
-Ninneman: Okay.
-And I don't know exactly whose car that is.
-Do you think it's stolen or? Is that what you mean by that?
-Yeah, yeah, I think it's possible.
-Oh, okay.
-I have a dhs case. I'm fighting to get my kids back.
Kids are the most important thing to me.
-Okay, your kids. How many kids you got?
-I got four. -Four kids?
How old are your kids? -Got a newborn.
I got a three-year-old,
And then my wife has two from a previous marriage.
At nine and twelve.
-Alright, well, I respect that.
I mean, I definitely want you to be able to go home
To your kids every night, right.
But you're driving a little crazy.
The only reason I was stopping you
Is you don't have a headlight on one side.
That would've been an easy ticket.
We're putting all these people in danger,
Running through lights and going through traffic like that.
Almost lost control down there and end up here.
You moved quicker than I thought.
-What?
-Ninneman: You moved faster than I thought.
-Oh, I apologize.
I didn't mean to endanger your life or anyone else's life.
I just, it's stupid.
Is my wife okay?
-Everyone's okay.
No one's injured.
I think you just didn't put it in park
And your car rolled into mine.
We're gonna get you in the car. It sounds like the ambulance is coming.
I'm gonna go talk to your wife, make sure she's doing alright.
Candace, my name's deputy ninneman.
So you guys were driving, he's driving pretty fast.
What happened? Were you tellin' him to stop?
-I was, I was, I was terrified.
I just kept saying, I can't run from the cops.
And even like when we came here
And, and I don't, I, it's a terrible situation, to be in
Like, that's my husband.
But when, like, I just told him
I was like, stop, stop, stop, you know?
I was just so scared. Like, we're going so fast.
You know, my, our my kids' little faces are all
I'm thinking about you, know.
And I, I just kept
Saying to him, I can't run from the cops.
-Meaning on foot? -Yeah.
-Like how he did? -Yeah.
-Okay. Are your kids with someone safe at the moment?
-Yes. -Okay.
-Did you, do you have my husband?
-Yes. -Okay.
-All right. -And he's going to jail?
-From what I can tell yes. -For running?
-He's going, he's going to jail.
-I, do I get in trouble for running since I...
-That's what I'm still looking into to.
-...Ran from the cops. -I'm still looking into that.
-Oh. -You're in the car,
You're associated with the event, right?
-Okay. But I didn't run.
-I get that. -Okay.
-All right.
So he ran against the wall here.
I heard some stuff on this side though
Get thrown too, so.
-Deputy: On which side?
-Ninneman: On the other side of this xterra.
-Right there? What's that? -Probably a knife.
-A knife?
-Ninneman: That may be the loud noise I heard.
Once he got outside, I think he was pretty gassed.
So he ran himself out of his shoes.
Here's the other one.
All right, man.
So tonight you are gonna be charged with felony eluding.
In reality, ticket, warning,
You would've been home with your wife and kids right now.
-So like, you think I could go to jail for like...
Prison for this?
-Ninneman: Any felony crime can go to prison. Yes.
That's the court side though.
-Are they taking my kids, puttin' 'em in a foster home?
We just had a really hard time getting on our feet.
-I respect that, I know your kids mean a lot to you
'cause that's a big thing for everyone, right?
We just gotta slow down a little bit and think about 'em
Before we, we make a decision so quickly of running,
Going into oncoming traffic,
Putting yourself, your wife at danger.
We're gonna get you outta here, okay?
All right. Candace, I'm gonna get you outta handcuffs.
So your husband tonight,
He is gonna be charged with felony eluding, okay?
We just, this could have been a lot worse.
Slow down and think about what's going on at home
With your kids and who's driving your car.
It's the father of your kids, okay?
-I'm sorry, I don't mean to be petty and like ask for food
But can I have the drink that's in there?
I'm just really thirsty.
-Yeah, I'll get you out here
You can take your food with you and the cheeseburger
I think fell, but I'm glad you're okay.
Hang out over there. I'll grab your phones and stuff.
-Candace: Okay.
-Deputy cory claridy: I use my communication skills
A lot during this job.
On the more stressful calls, it really helps
Calm people down, stressful situations.
You get more information that way.
You know, at night being a little bit more proactive,
We really go after traffic stops.
And I really pride myself in being able to take guns and drugs
Off the street and, you know, outta the hands of criminals.
So this vehicle just pulled outta the gas station.
The license plate's obscured because it's spray painted.
It also has a cracked windshield.
So we're gonna do a traffic stop on it.
-(police radio chatter)
-Good evening.
Hey, I'm deputy claridy with hillsborough county sheriff's office, how you doing?
The reason we're stopping you today is your tag.
I don't know if when you were painting the truck,
You got some over-spray on top of the tag,
But it's, the whole left side's almost completely unreadable
Because of that.
Do you have your license, registration, proof of insurance?
-Uh, yeah. -Okay, and, sir,
Do you have an id on you?
-No, I don't.
-Okay, I'll get your first name and last name
Here in a second.
Oh, y'all smoking like a chimney in here?
-Driver: It's a cigarette.
-Yeah, you're flooding the whole cab, man.
-The lights on, so it's gonna make it look worse than what it is.
-What's, are we in a bad mood tonight, guys?
What's going on?
-What're you doin'?
-What's going on? You guys are just being mean.
I don't know. I'm just asking. You guys okay?
-Officer: Hey, what's going on?
-Claridy: Is everything okay?
-Yeah.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-Billy, that name sounds super familiar.
-Billy: I've seen you before.
-So how did you see that my tag didn't
Have no, or how did you see spray paint on my tag
Whenever you was parked literally on the side of the road?
-No, I just started coming southbound
When I got behind you.
-How? I just seen-- when I pulled on to mobile,
You were literally on the next road
Literally sitting there with your lights off.
-Okay, and so then I got onto the road
To get behind your vehicle.
-And for what reason though?
-I don't have to have a reason to drive down the road.
Do you have a reason to drive down the road?
Did I ask you why you drove down the road?
-I'm just asking a question.
-Claridy: I just started driving down the roadway.
Is that not what you're doing?
I felt like we had such a better encounter last time.
-I don't remember last time.
-Well, you said you knew me.
-I mean, I've seen you before, yeah.
-Okay, I said you just seem, seem like
You're having a bad night.
-Billy: I'm actually, I'm actually having a really bad day.
-Okay, it's not a big deal.
Listen, hey, I'm not a huge ticket giver.
I'm not that type of cop, okay?
We just pull people over, over for traffic infractions.
That's what we do, okay?
-Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood, man.
-It happens. Yeah.
While you're getting the insurance,
Did you have your license on you, by chance?
If you don't, I can look it up on by your registration.
It's not a big deal.
We stop everybody, we ask everybody,
You got drugs, narcotics, stolen stuff, explosives,
Illegal aliens or bazookas in the car?
-No.
-Are you gonna mind if we search?
-For what?
-I ask everybody, every single traffic stop.
-Okay, well.
-If don't want me to search, that's perfectly fine.
It's your, it's your right.
So that's a no. Okay.
Keep looking for that insurance, if you find it,
Deputy jungle's over there, also, if you find your license,
He'll be right there for you, okay?
5-2-2-3. Is there a 57 k-9 available?
When I first pulled the vehicle over
And approached the vehicle, they both lit up a cigarette,
Started chain-smoking pretty much.
And they're both trembling pretty heavy.
The driver's super aggravated with me for some reason.
-Because I'm telling you to get outta the car.
I don't need a reason.
-(indistinct) -yes, you do.
Get outta the car. Get outta the car.
-Billy: For what? -Are you gonna resist me?
-I'm not resisting. -Yes. Get out of the car.
-You can't just make me.
-Yes, I can get outta the car. I can.
-I have a broken collarbone. Stop!
-Okay, then get outta the car. I'm not asking.
-Claridy: Billy.
-Deputy: Quit reaching for stuff.
-Billy: I'm getting my phone so it's all on record.
-Claridy: We're done, we're done, we're done.
-Okay, okay, I got broken collarbone [bleep].
-Man: Get her phone, man. -Claridy: Stop, stop, billy.
-Billy: No reason to pull me outta the car, bro.
-Hey, hey, bro.
-Billy: I have rights! I have rights, bro.
I'm not stupid. I have a broken collarbone.
-Claridy: Stop. Billy, stop, stop.
-Billy: You're breaking my collarbone, bro.
-Claridy: No, I'm not. -Man: Stay calm!
-Do you see my collarbone? -Man: Stop! Stop!
-(all shouting)
-You're doing this to yourself.
-Billy: No, stop, bro.
-Claridy: Hey, stop. Billy.
You're doing it to yourself.
Put your hands behind your back and it's done.
-Billy: I don't have to get outta this vehicle, bro.
-Claridy: Yes, you do!
Yes, you do, because I have a canine here that is gonna
Walk around the vehicle.
-Billy: Walk around the vehicle!
-Claridy: You have to exit the vehicle, now stop!
-(billy shouting)
-Claridy: You're acting a fool, billy.
-Billy: I broke my collarbone!
-Claridy: Stop moving and you won't hurt it more.
-Billy: I have rights! I have rights, bro.
-And the rights were get outta the car.
-No. Where's my phone at, bro?
-We told you to get outta the car.
-(dog sniffs)
-K-9 officer: Good boy, yeah, good boy.
-So the dog alerted to the presence of narcotics
Inside the vehicle.
So we're gonna conduct a search
For the cab of the vehicle and see what she was
So upset about.
She didn't fight like that for no reason, so.
-Officer: There's a syringe.
-Claridy: In there?
-Officer 2: There you go, bud.
-Claridy: How much?
-Officer 2: It's a little baggie in the front pocket
And the syringes in the main compartment.
-Claridy: Okay.
There's a little bit of methamphetamine right there.
Some pills.
Not exactly sure what those are yet.
Syringe and some money.
So, so, billy, this is where--
-Billy: I'll show you on video, man. -Listen, listen, billy.
-Billy: It's not fair, bro.
-Can I talk to you? I haven't said a word to you
And I just come around and you're screaming at me.
-Billy: Phone in back and what you just told her.
It's not fair, man.
-Billy, if we can have a conversation with you,
We might be able to work this out, right?
So here's the thing, right?
So we pulled you over for a traffic infraction.
We asked you to get outta the car,
You refused to get outta the car.
So at that point, you were under arrest
For resisting without violence at that point already.
-Billy: How?
-Because you refused to obey lawful commands
When they were given to you to exit the vehicle.
-Billy: So I'm under arrest for that?
-Yes. You were already under arrest for that point.
Okay, so at this point, her dog alerted us to the presence
Of narcotics in the vehicle, right?
Behind the seat, there was a small amount
Of methamphetamine.
-Billy: That's the thing. I was not in possession of it.
-You were, it's your truck.
-Y'all should have said, who drove your truck?
I said, okay, I'm gonna call her right now.
I can't help that, bro. I can't help-- -okay.
So you're gonna go to jail right now for possession
Of methamphetamine.
-So how is that, bro? -Possession of narcotics
-Paraphernalia and resisting without violence, okay? -How is that?
-Because you're in possession of methamphetamine, billy.
-Po ii rashaud taylor: I told myself that once I hit 30,
I was either gonna be a police officer or a firefighter.
The reason for that is because both excellent jobs,
Both respectable fields, great pay, great benefits,
And those are two jobs that would always be in need.
And it's, it is a good feeling to know that,
That people feel safe when they're around you.
All right. We're headed to a domestic battery call,
Pr basically said that she was
Being attacked by her boyfriend and possibly strangled.
So we're headed out there to, you know,
See what's going on with the, with the call.
Control 3-dp-50. Show me arrived.
Hey, come here. Excuse me.
Step out the car.
-Absolutely. No, no, no problems with you whatsoever.
-Just step over here. -Of course.
-I'm gonna put your hands behind your back.
Put your palms together.
-You're more than welcome to, sir.
-Spread your feet. -Of course.
-All right, come over here, bro. -Okay.
-Hey, you wanna talk to the victim? -Yeah, yeah.
-Full compliance with you, sir. -Taylor: All right.
No, I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
-Man: Yeah.
As long as we get the respect back and forth,
I promise you it's good. I promise you.
-All right. Go on and stand right here for me, boss.
Nope, nope. Turn around. -Oh, I'm sorry.
-Spread your feet for me. -I'm, I'm sorry.
I just feel like I'm about to piss myself.
That's all. I apologize.
-No, don't piss on my hand, do not piss on my hand
-I promise I won't. I just, I do have to urinate.
That's all.
-All right, man. What's going on?
-Her and I have been together for, you know,
Five years, six years or so.
And, yeah, I took her from florida originally
From her family.
And we came out here and we've been in trouble
In the past before. -Okay.
-I found out that she has like
Dissociative identity disorder, you know,
Formerly known as split personality.
And there's, there's parts of her that, that sometimes,
You know, deny certain realities or truths that can come up.
And I'm just all about that growth mentality right now.
That mind set mentality. I'm about that.
I'm inside the wutang's new project, the mefaverse
As a pfp 'cause I'm playing--
-Okay, why, why are we here?
-So, because I love her dearly and I don't want her to
Run from herself or her problems or her demons anymore.
Because every time we do that,
'cause we've both done that for years and years,
We find out that the person we ran to is still not
What we wanted.
What we wanted was inside all along.
And I just came to this culmination, this final crux,
Saying, hey, we really need to just
Come to a commitment tonight.
-Taylor: Okay. -Can we forgive? Can we forget?
Can we start over? Or are you gonna still continue to be?
And she took that as disrespectful and it triggered
From there, but it's like, I never physically harm her.
-Taylor: Anything physical occur?
-She would try to harm me, but I would just block her.
-Taylor: Okay in what way? In what way?
You said she tried to harm you. How?
-Just by coming at me. You know what I mean?
-Taylor: She coming at you how?
Because look, sean, I wasn't there. I wasn't there, so.
-Yeah, I know, I know.
-Taylor: The more descriptive you are,
The better, the more I get a picture of what happened.
-Sean: Yeah, 'cause I'm not trying to
Get her in trouble either, but it's like by screaming at me,
Telling me to get the [bleep] outta the house.
But it's like, I'm not worried
'cause I know that I'm a lot bigger than her.
So I'm like, it's like, it's like, it's no big deal.
But like, yeah, she was just like, it's like
Coming at me super tough.
Like at one point she punched my eyes,
Like I got a little mark, a little mark.
On my arm, I was bleeding.
But like, it's again in the safety of my family
To like, not even reveal this right now and just be like.
-Taylor: To not reveal it?
-Well to, in the safety of like, the idea.
-Okay. Sean. Sean, listen to me. Listen to me.
You're talking in circles, okay?
I need to know what happened. -Yeah.
-Did you put your hands on her? -Sean: No, look.
-I mean, if you listen, listen if you did,
It's not a big deal, I just need to know.
-Sean: Always open palmed and blocking for defense never--
-Open palm how? What do you mean?
-Like, like, putting my hands up as in, "I'm surrendering,
I'm sacrificing and backing up away from you" open hand.
Like nothing, nothing physical.
I never, I never just stepped forward.
It was always backwards. -Okay. Did you--
-It's always defense.
-Okay, did you hit her in self-defense or anything?
-No, never. It was always in defense
That I would just back up and if she came at me,
I would just block.
-Did you grab her at all? -No. No.
-All right, sean, just, just hang, hang out here, okay?
-No problem at all, sir.
-Hi, how you doing?
-Woman: Good. How are you? -You okay?
-Just a little disagreement.
-All right. -Be nice.
-Taylor: Let talk to me. What's, what's going on?
How did, how did we get to the point to
Where we were all here.
-So he doesn't listen per request?
I asked him to leave because he was being mentally
And emotionally abusive.
-Okay.
-Woman: And he didn't want to leave,
And then that turned into physical abuse.
-Okay, physical, what do you mean?
-He smacked me in my face with my son,
With my godson on his hip.
-Where were you when he hit you?
-I was in the kitchen right there
On the other side of the gate.
-He was over here. -Okay.
-With the kid, with my, my son on his hip
And reached across the thing and smacked me in the face.
-Taylor: Do you need medical attention?
-No. -Taylor: You sure?
-Yeah, I'm all right.
-Taylor: We don't, we can get somebody out here.
-No, it's okay.
-Just take a look to be on the safe side.
It's up to you though.
-I'm all right. He, he, like I said,
He had to reach across the gate to get to me.
-So it wasn't, it didn't land as hard as it could have.
-But he did make contact? -But, yeah.
-Okay, was it a slap, punch, or what?
-He slapped me open hand. -Slap? Okay.
-Then, tail, tail, watch out! You're gonna hit the thing.
-What about strangulation?
-So he wrapped his arm around me
And tried to get me to turn around.
Did he put his arm around me like this? I went like this.
-Got you. Okay. -To get him off of me.
-Taylor: So break, break the grip.
-Yeah, and then I like moved around
So that I could sit in my chair
And then I just kept telling him to get away from me.
-Taylor: Okay. You mind if I take a look at your neck?
-Yeah. Go ahead. -That's okay?
-Hold on baby. It's okay.
-It's a little bright. So pardon the, oh, thank you.
Appreciate it.
A little bit of reddening right there. All right.
Let me get that statement for you to work on
And we'll, we'll kind of go from there, okay?
-Woman: Mm-hm.
-Taylor: So as of right now
Looks like we have battery domestic violence,
Battery domestic violence-strangulation,
As well as child endangerment.
-All right. -Hey, sean?
-Yes, sir? Yeah, I'm good. -You all right, man?
-I see you sweating a little bit.
You need us to turn the air, air on for you?
-The air is on actually, it feels delicious.
-Taylor: It feels delicious?
-I would just really appreciate, like if,
If somebody could just dab my face with an napkin.
If you don't have one available, no problem.
-Taylor: I'll see if I can accommodate that.
But before that happens,
I just wanna make sure that you understand your charges.
And what's going on here, okay?
-I heard they were super severe.
-Taylor: She has bruises.
-You know, at the moment it's like I told my peace,
I was respectful and I said what I had to say.
-Okay.
-So, you know, from there I don't really,
I'm just, you know, gonna keep it moving and you know,
I'm all about that grinding that I told you that,
That growth, that mentality. -Yeah. I got you.
-I got a lot going on in my life right now.
And she's crazy. So it is what it is.
-Taylor: Well, look, take care of yourself, all right?
We all make mistakes,
We learn from it and, and move on man.
-Sean: Appreciate you.
-(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)
