Huh? >> 1237. >> The nerve. >> And that's the guy who got in the back of the cruiser. >> Yes, sir. It happened immediately. He the dispatch was so on it. Yes, sir. >> Okay, perfect. >> In Ohio, the moment a deadly weapon enters a theft, the charge changes entirely. Ohio Revised Code section 2 911.01 aggravated robbery. Felony of the first degree, up to 11 years per count. The victim described two knives, including a white or yellow handle, before officers confirmed what they recovered. He had never seen this man before. That detail only comes from the moment you are staring at a blade. Miranda writes were read at 3 minutes and 18 seconds into the footage. Under Miranda versus Arizona, every statement made after that moment is admissible in court. The suspect chose to explain the $100 transaction, no knives drawn, officers confirmed, no money found, three knives confirmed. That statement did not help him. It gave investigators a documented contradiction in his own words. >> Perfect. >> He didn't stab. You're not injured anywhere. >> No. No. I kept bagging away. I wouldn't, you know. >> Yeah. >> But I, you know, I couldn't turn my back on him. >> Mhm. He says he gave you $100 for the stuff. You don't have >> I don't have $100. >> Okay. >> No. He come at me. He robbed me. I got my bank card, my food stamp card. I got like seven bucks in there. >> No. What what did the knife look like that he threatened you with? >> He had a small one and then a bigger one. >> He had them two doubled up in his hand. At first it was just one. Then he had another small one he pulled out and put the other hand like he doubled up right here in his hand. >> You see like the handle or anything or what the blade look >> uh whitest or yellow on one? I can't remember. It was like all I saw was a knife handle or the knife blade. >> Mhm. >> So when he approached you, were you on the sidewalk walking to the transit? >> I was coming through the fence over there going up in there and he come through the backside and then he engaged me right there. Okay. >> I was right there at the very opening right there by the by the uh >> Which way did he run? >> He come back down this way. He went around the bushes. Come this way >> and came I followed him >> on the phone >> and he come right down this way >> and he tried to go around the back way there. Then he come back around this way >> and he stopped right there at the back door. >> So what exactly happened when you first when you first saw him? >> He come up on me. He said, "Hey man, >> he started looking at my bag. I have my blue bag right here open. You know, you know that's all my stuff right here. Like, no, that's my stuff, bro. And I have my stuff over here sitting to go. And he goes over like, I'm gonna go ahead and take this stuff right here. This is all my stuff right here. Like, bro, that's my clothes and my laundry. >> You know, my food bag was sitting right there, too. >> Yeah. >> And and then like, well, I'm I've had such a bad day, blah, blah, blah. And so, I'm just go ahead and take everything. And he started putting my [ __ ] on his stomach on his body. All dude, that's my stuff. That's my clothes. That's my food. You hand my food, man. Don't take my stuff. Don't take my clothes. You know, and then he pulled out a knife and he's like, "Well, dude, we can go ahead and handle this right now, man. I'll go ahead and it don't matter to me. We can see who walks out here alone." I'm like, "Dude, what are you talking about?" I get I start moving toward the the the building right there and they open and he goes, "Hey, there's cameras around here, man. Let's do this. Let's come back in here." I like, "Dude, dude, you're crazy. I'm going to call the cops on you, man. You know, and that's what happened. And then that's when he had two in his hand. I don't want to say he had one at first, then he had a small one, like a pairing knife or something something smaller. >> How How did you know to come to the side door and let him in? >> He just came to the front and called my name. >> Okay. >> So, he called you. He called. Did he call you on the phone or >> He called my name from outside? >> Okay. When you were out on your balcony or you could hear? >> I was inside, but I could hear cuz my window's up. >> He don't stay here with you, does he? No, >> but he's your son, right? He said he was your son, then he said somehow orange knife. >> Uh, he might. >> I mean, that fell over there saying this is his stuff. >> No, that's his. >> I don't think so. He left you with that bag. >> Which bag? He left you with >> that one and half the Aldi one. >> Uh-huh. >> Did you leave with this one? He had a black one on top of that one. It's probably inside. >> How long ago How long ago did he leave here? >> About two days ago. >> Two days ago. >> Anybody going to tell me anything? >> I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Uh the gentleman over here is saying that your son robbed him at knife point. >> What are you robbing for? >> That's some of that stuff that's right there. >> Closing his food. >> Is that you looking at the food? And then he followed him right back over here where he said was in those bags and in those bags. >> Well, it is in jail. >> Stupid ass going to jail. >> Oh, shut him. >> Well, if he did a crime, he know what it is. >> He's got three knives on him. Like ones like he described. >> Same color. And >> he's going to jail. Yeah, >> we still got to, you know, conduct our investigation, but we're I mean, >> okay, >> things are pointing towards he has this man's stuff for some reason. I don't know why the man says he was robbed at night. >> His ass rehab while he in there. >> Yeah, he's really got a mental problem going on. >> He's been using a long time. >> He's got a drug problem. >> He got a drug problem and a mental problem. This is his big brother. >> He's got a mental problem. He's got a drug problem. Well, that uh that method is driving people crazy going crazy. >> I mean, it is >> not crazy. He own >> Yeah. And that method >> That's his brother. >> Yeah. >> And he needs some help. I've been trying to get him get some help for a while. He's so paranoid. Cameras all the TV and the toilet paper roll. And I hope he get some help. Y'all help him get some help. >> This is what the he needed. When he get off this time, you better leave that [ __ ] alone. >> Thank you, Mr. Dear. Thank you, father. Yeah, he don't. That's >> Are you interested in signing charges charges for aggravated robbery? >> Brother, I don't think there's ever going to be a chance I'll see him again, but he probably knows my face now. >> Well, my thing is, are you going to be staying in Akan? Are you going to be bothered? >> Yes, I am. I'm going to be going down to the uh uh Haven Arrest. >> Yeah, cuz you said you had family in Astraulus. I didn't know if you were >> trying to make your way out that >> I tried to get on Facebook early this morning. uh wasn't successful to get connected with my uh sister-in-law and everybody. >> So, I really don't know, man. What would you suggest? >> I can't make that decision before. >> I mean, I doubt really seriously I'll see him again. >> Obviously, you've been here for a day and a half. It's been a bad experience. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I tried to talk to him reasonably bad day. So, >> yeah. >> If they approve you to sign charges, then you you'll have to make that decision at that point. Okay. >> Yeah. I really don't want to, man. And he was even telling me he was having a bad day and [ __ ] like this, man. >> That doesn't break out a knife on somebody. >> Yeah, >> I can take him down and sign. >> Yeah, we'll do that. Um, hey brother. Uh, we're good to sign charges. So, do you want to go down and sign? >> Uh, I got to go downtown. >> Yeah. >> Well, I get a ride back. >> I will take you down south to sign and then I can take you to the haven after that. >> That'll work. Yes, sir. >> That work? >> Yep. >> All right. I'll take them. He said he's going to do 12. So, >> yeah. >> You good back there, my man? >> Do what? >> You good? >> Yeah, I'm good. >> Well done. >> Did S did Sergeant explain what's happening? Did you do Miranda? >> No. Okay. >> So, you're going to go, you're going to county. >> Uh, you're being charged with robbery. Okay. >> So, even though I gave him the $100, I guess I made the wrong decision. Take it like getting the bag coming up. >> He didn't have $100 on him. >> The officers get an A. Patient, methodical, evidence-driven. Under Graham versus Connor, every call on scene holds up. The suspect gets a D. Three knives, zero cash, one justification. Under Ohio Revised Code section 2. 911.01. A bad day is not a defense element. He had the right to remain silent after Miranda. He chose otherwise. That conversation is on the record. His own mother called for jail. Officers agreed. The victim gets a B+. Called 911 immediately tracked. The suspect described the weapons accurately and signed charges. The lesson in Ohio producing a weapon during a theft triggers first-degree aggravated robbery instantly. The day you are having is not a legal defense. And after Miranda one correct answer, ask for a lawyer. Say nothing else. Charged with aggravated robbery. What do you think the sentence should be? Drop it in the comments.
