Before I leave the scene, I just want to make sure everything was handled correctly. >> I I know how to do my job. >> Yo, I'm going to let you know what is taking place. All right. So, like I'm telling this guy, I don't know what he going through. I'm going through a lot right now. >> This is my third fourth time coming back up to this gas station for something weird. Actually, my phone about to die and I'm trying to buy a charger. Last one I got broke. I come back up real. All right. So, I'm in there and guys, they running there. Hey, who tried to implement? I'm like, dang, I do. I said, who tried to sit in? I said me. That me. They said, oh, somebody hit your car and try to take off. So, I was like, oh, go get him. go get him. So, one one one of the one of the guys got in front of the car on the bicycle. >> Luckily, it was some traffic right there. He couldn't he couldn't have got he couldn't have got off. He he tried to get out. He was at the tip and and they got in front of him and it's like he almost is still trying to and then No, I got somebody else to get in front of him and then then I'm right there with him. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> And then he then he bags up and then then then boom. I thought he was going to try to leave again, but then he pulls over there. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> He pulls over there. He's where I go. >> I got you. Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So we So we So whatever the process is, like I said, I'm I'm going I'm going through a lot tonight, so I really don't want to be out too late.

Uh >> I should probably be getting his insurance right now. >> Uh so what I'll do is whenever I run the tags of both the vehicles, then the insurance both your insurance and his insurance will be put in the report and then cuz I'm assuming that you call the police cuz you want a police report. >> Absolutely. >> Okay. So yeah, it'll be listed in there and then it'll be listed how the wreck occurred and everything. And >> yeah, but can I just get it myself? No, don't make sense too. I feel like that's usually how I do it. I usually get it myself cuz usually I feel like I shouldn't have to wait for a police report. >> Yeah. Information. >> And that's up to him. That's something that you're going to have to ask him for. >> I I would rather settle with you. >> You rather settle with me? >> Yeah. What do you So h how would that go? How would you settle this back? >> I don't I don't trust you. I don't even know you talking about selling with me. I do I do need a report. I don't know you. >> I I realize this.

You're not to the hospital. I went to Walmart to uh double check my sodium level. All right. So, let me ask you this. I understand your sodium level, but let me ask you, what made you try to pull off? What does that have to do with your sodium level right there? What about your sodium level made you want to pull off after getting hit mark? >> That I'm not really >> You're not So, you're not really sure. So, so >> are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital? >> No, I do not. >> Well, you're clearly not in a state to drive. Do you have someone to come and get you >> cuz you're swaying back and forth while you're standing here and you're having a hard time just >> I can't afford to go to the hospital. >> I got you. Do you have someone that can come get you? >> Not right now. Okay. >> I do want to get I want Can we go ahead and do the correct thing? Get correct information so I can get back to the house cuz I ain't even been to the house like that. I've been at work all day. You know what I'm saying? This I feel like this not being handled correctly right now. So >> So were you parked? What space were you parked in? >> This where my car been at right here. I ain't >> Okay. So you've been parked at the pump the entire time? >> I just came out. I haven't I haven't >> I pulled over there. >> Okay. But I'm going to be in touch with you and your insurance company.

Cuz I don't think you should. >> No, I wasn't going to. >> Yeah, I don't think you should. So, it's like >> I I'm just listening to him talk right now. >> Yeah. See, it's like you you ask him you ask him about his medical situation or whatnot, but it could be a little deeper than that. I'll >> just shut up. >> Yeah. >> Are are you supposed to be driving on your medication? >> Yes. That's That's >> So, it's okay for you to drive. Do you have somebody that can come pick you up right now? >> Do you have someone to come pick you up right now? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. Do you live with anybody? >> No, I I'll just shut off the car. You can come back and check on me. >> Okay. Well, the other thing is I don't think you should be sitting here in the parking lot by yourself. Are you sure that you don't want to go to the hospital? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. Especially if you're already in a state where you know like you should not be driving, you cause an accident and then without thinking you went to go drive off >> and then you going to cause some real life accident out there because ain't no telling what's wrong with you right now. If I had to be honest with you, I don't I don't whether it's medicine or whatever the case is. >> Will you at least get looked at by EMTs? You don't have to take a ride with them or anything. >> They can look at me, but this I went through this back in July. >> Did they change your medication out then? >> Well, they ended up putting me in the ambulance and trucking me for 10 minutes and all of a sudden it cost me $3,000. I don't have the money. I was taking or I take control for uh my breathing. >> You know, I do still have COPD.

I just want to make sure because like >> But like like I said, I understand you had It's like you asking him. I feel like I don't know cuz I feel like you asking him a certain question. But if the shoe was on the other foot, would you ask me if it was just medicine medicine? That's what I'm that's that's what my concern is. >> What do you mean if the shoe was on the other foot? >> Like I feel like look, all right. So I'm I'm a young guy, right? So let's say if I'm coming around blah blah blah, I hit the car and I'm kind of and I have medical situation too. I take I have MS. I take a lot of medicines blah blah blah. So like if I'm like kind of blah blah like if I'm kind of like I I just feel like it's going to be more to it than just are your your medication your medication. >> So typically if it's a DUI wreck what we do is we separate both parties before we conduct our investigation. >> Oh so okay. Yes. So see if I would have knew that see if you' have told me that I would have stood all the way like all the way back there. >> Yeah. I just wanted cuz from the jump I just wanted to make sure every the only reason I stood here is to make sure everything was being >> like handled correctly because I just felt like it was just kind of I don't know. You know what I'm saying? So that's that's the only reason I'm still here right now. I'm about to go to the I'm about to go to the house. I'm going to take care of this when I get to the house. But before I leave the scene, I just want to make sure everything was handled correctly. Even as far as him leaving cuz I don't want him to hurt himself or blah blah blah. But I just want to make sure everything still handled correctly. Yeah. Cuz I'm almost feeling like >> I don't know. You know what I'm saying? But just make sure he good. I understand the whole medicine situation, but let's make sure he good other than whatever the whole medical thing. >> Okay. I I know how to do my job. >> Yeah, I understand. I understand. I understand. But I just want to, you know, just want to make sure because it could it could, like I said, it could be deeper. Just like I know how the situation would be if it was me. It could be deeper. It could be a lot. >> I I got you. But how I work the investigation is different from other officers. We're not all the same.
