Bro, it's it's back bomb, bro. >> Well, you see that color right there? That's a beautiful blue. >> What does blue mean? >> That's another charge. >> Do you want my help? >> I don't need your help. >> Please, my help. >> You have nothing to offer you. >> Please don't take me in jail. >> In August 2023, deputies pull over Christopher Heath during a traffic stop. What initially looks like a routine stop quickly becomes a investigation when deputies discover suspicious items inside his vehicle. And Heath starts doing everything he can to convince them they've got the wrong idea. Roll the window down. Let me see your hands. Hands. What are you doing? Keep them up. Keep them up. >> Hop on out the car, man. >> Hop out. >> Yeah. Step out. You got any weapons on you? >> Why am I getting took out the car? >> Cuz you didn't stop way back there when you were lit up. >> Get out of my >> You have any weapons on you? Keep your hands up. >> Oh, yeah. It's a pocket knife. Pocket knife. >> Where's the pocket knife at? Okay. Don't touch your hands. Face the car. >> Where's the knife at? >> Uh, left or right? on my shirt. >> Okay. You mind if I take it off? >> You sure? Go ahead. >> Yeah. Behind the behind you. >> I apologize, man. I was just listening to music cuz I didn't even know you got a lot of knives on you, bro. >> Switchblade. >> Yeah. Not switch. >> You got card? >> Oh, I got the the little feet. No, no, I got the little in the middle center console. You see the thing? They don't sell that smells like that. >> This is why I couldn't hear you, sir. >> You didn't have that on. >> Yes, I did. >> I just drove by you with locked eyes. >> I play it all day long. Play it all day long. I heard the sound. When I finally heard the signage, I hit pause. I apologize, man. >> Why does it stink like, man? >> Huh? >> Why does it stink like You smoke earlier? >> No, my body smokes my car. I don't smoke, but he's got >> Can't smoke in a car. The stop starts with Heath failing to pull over when deputies first activate their lights. Once they finally get him out of the vehicle, officers discover several knives and begin noticing the strong smell of mariju. But the bigger problem is what they're about to find inside. Because this traffic stop is about to turn into a much more serious investigation. I'm sorry. I'm confused. Put the phone down. Sorry. >> What are you doing? >> I'm confused. That That cream's for your dog. >> Yeah. Well, it's it's for horses and cows, but it's like an antibiotic in there. It's got like in it. >> That's weird. Why would it pop hot for >> dude? It's >> for THC oil, >> bro. It's It's back bomb, bro. >> Well, you see that color right there? That's a beautiful blue. >> What does blue mean? >> THC smelling your ointment that I don't know what it what it It's It's bad. Bomb, bro. I put on my dog.

You got anything hitting your pants? Now it's time to tell me. >> Really wide. >> So, what I'm going to do, I'll put on a second test kit just to humor you. >> It's not >> right in front of you. If it pops out from, you're going to jail. As deputies continue searching the vehicle, Heath repeatedly insists that the substances they're finding aren't drugs, but the evidence is starting to tell a different story. A substance in an unusual container begins testing positive for THC, while officers also find a digital scale and four butane torches, items that raise even more questions about what Heath [music] is actually doing. >> Smell it, man. I'll put it on my >> What it smells like makes no damn difference to me. >> No, if it's not clean, I don't smell it. >> Unless it's oil. Unless it's >> it's it's a lot of plan to smell it, bro. >> We're going to do it together right here. >> Dude, just smell it. H >> saying it's right, bro. It's got it's got numb in it. It's got stuff that helps you heal, dude. It's got a big >> What would make it helpful is if you kept it in the proper container instead of a bull pill container. >> I mean, I I somebody gave it to me, bro. Wouldn't want to give me a whole can. See, bro, I told you in a minute. I just told him reaction. >> Wow. Starting to turn blue already. Come on, man. This equipment, bro. I'm not lie to you about that dumb. I wouldn't do that to you, bro. >> Oh, look. It's getting more blue. >> That is not drugs, man. >> Sorry if I don't believe you. Dude, dude, smell it. Just >> two and a half, three blocks to pull over first. >> Dude, that's my fault. I was listening to music. I apologize. >> You're meeting up with two >> users and dealers in the county after a hand to hand exchange of some kind that we're not even going to get into. >> Bro, I don't do drugs, man. >> You have a scale in your center console. You got butane torches that are typically used out here to cook >> because people aren't lighting their goddamn cigarettes with a 6-in butane torch. >> I don't. And then you got bags full of blue testing positive THC. >> You're paying me a bad pitch, dude. It's not federal probation. I piss every week. I don't do drugs. I don't do drugs. I don't get high. I got friends that do. >> But guess what? Wild. >> You know what? I I've been I've been talking to Brick Ball and everything, bro. I work on suspension. I don't want to hear a name drop on. >> Yeah. I don't know what happened to that. >> So, >> looks like you're going to be placed under arrest. >> At this point, deputies aren't just looking at a simple possession case. They tell Heath they believe the evidence points toward fent and drug activity while he continues insisting that he doesn't use or sell drugs. With Heath already on federal probation, an arrest could carry consequences far beyond what started as a traffic stop. >> Please don't violate my probation for something, dude. Just smell it, bro. >> What difference does that make? >> Because I'm telling you on on God, dude, that >> on the test, >> man. I put it on God and my unborn children, dude. Just smell it, man. It's It's an ointment, bro. I swear I'm not. >> This isn't the only charge. Better to comply when we light you up. Blue light blocks ago. >> Please. >> That's another charge. >> Do you want my help? >> I don't need your help. >> Please, man. >> You have nothing to offer you. >> Please don't take me to jail, sir. >> Who gave that to me? >> My mom. >> Call my mom, bro, and ask my mom where she what she gave it to me. And bro, I ain't got on the phone and said nothing. Please, at least do that, bro. My mom's a retired government employee, dude. She worked at Flagger County Courthouse. Please, dude. She's the one that they sent me. Dude, I Dude, I can't it up. >> Please, bro. >> You know what's weird? I got a tip off that that chick was going to be attempting to purchase that today. >> Dude, look at that, dude. It's triple antibiotic. Just smell it, man. >> Oh, yeah. I'm going to sniff your >> That's not triple antibiotic. >> I got a camper. >> This is how you light your cigarettes. >> I got a camper. I bought >> No, you bro. >> I used the one. There's one in there that's mine. Other >> You know how many cigarette smokers I deal with every day? You know how many legitimate everyday normal cigarette smokers use a butane torch? >> I always tipped off by people of the public that she's possibly looking pathetic. >> Who that girl? >> Yes. >> Not here. >> So, I've been keeping an eye on her as we pass by. >> And earlier today when I was watching her, you were at the gas station and she was at the gas station together. When she saw we were sitting there, you both left, >> which is fine. Not illegal. >> Not illegal. >> So, we went about our other duties. >> Yeah, you guys weren't there. >> In the same time, both of you returned to the gas station. >> No, I think they were there the whole time, dude. >> No, we watched her. I watched her walk down Mahogany. >> I think it was >> And then she came back on a bike. >> I have it on video at the gas station. >> I I passed her when I I passed her. I seen her on the bicycle. She was alone before texting and calling. You guys both separated at the gas station when we were there. >> We circle back to the gas station. Now, once again, you are both there again >> at the same time conveniently. >> There's camera everywhere, man. >> It is. I watched it. I was there. I don't mean to watch the video. >> You'll see. I ain't lying to you. >> I'm just saying. Thank god. >> It's convenient that you both were at the gas station two times a day at the same time each time. And each time we showed up, you guys separated. >> It's not I don't even know the girl, bro. I've never taught her a day god given life. She >> not the day I ran into her. Then >> she asked me for saying that's conveniently >> bro I don't even know unusual. >> The pressure hits a breaking point when the deputy reveals the public actually tipped them off about a local girl Heath has been meeting up with to supply fent even as the test kits turn positive and Heath desperately pivots his story claiming the illegal oil is just a relief ointment for his dog. The handcuffs are brought out. But just as deputies move in to secure him, Heath undergoes a sudden dramatic transformation right on the pavement. >> Please, dude, help me. Please, bro. >> Nothing else. >> You can't let this happen to me, man. You got to be You can make an assessment. No, dude. There's me. >> My professional assessment is that my deputies have located me in your possession. That's my professional assessment. I have to pack my people. That's the long and short of it. But >> please do just trust me. I'm not lying to you, dude. I'm not a liar, dude. You're seeing me like this, bro. I wasn't like this with you guys. Got me pulled over. Pull me over, bro. This is so surreal, dude. I didn't do nothing wrong, bro. I thought it was going to be a routine driving stop. And he got me out in the car. I was like, "Wow, what's going on, dude? There's nothing bad in my car." >> Using your chest. Can't complain. >> Not drugs. It's not drugs. Please check my shoulder. >> Hey, sir. Will you check my shoulder? Please let him check my shoulder. Please do not all the way heal. >> Go to the hospital. You're going to go to the hospital. It It hurts so bad. I won't do nothing wrong, bro. >> Don't hurt me, bro. Please hurt you. >> Please, dude. >> My job is to make sure you're healthy. >> Can I have one more water? Please, bro. >> You're already down, too. >> Dude, look at me. I'm You guys are killing me. But please, dude, >> over an hour. >> You got to get in the car. >> You give me a water, man. >> The doctor's going to piss off this or give me anything else. You got to have a seat in the car. >> Please don't hurt me, bro. I'm not going to get in the car. >> At some point, you're going to catch me. >> No, don't do that. >> I'm going to touch you at this point. >> Why? >> I'm having a mental health issue. I'm begging freaking out. You're not cooperating. >> I'm not I'm cooperating. I need help. >> Have a seat. >> Okay. We're taking you to the hospital. >> They're going to get you checked out. They're going to check your heart and make sure you're okay. You understand that? >> I understand. Relax. >> Go. Nice and loose. >> I am [ __ ] dude. Please, dude. Please do. Please don't do this. Milo, please roll the window down. >> I will. I will. He's going. >> Oh, please don't don't hurt me, man. >> Put your knee away from the door. Put your knee away from the door. >> Christopher Heath, 40, was arrested and charged with possession of fent trafficking, possession of hash, possession of paraphernalia, failure to obey law enforcement. Already on federal probation, Heath was booked into jail on a $1,000 bond. So, what do you think? Was Heath genuinely experiencing a medical emergency, or was this another attempt to delay the arrest? For more real body cam breakdowns, subscribe to Code3 Cam and stay tuned for the next case.
