He was standing there on his cell phone and a black coat. >> So, you were in your driveway. I was just pulling out, you know, I had it in my mind for some reason to, which I don't normally do, just pull up on the driver's side. I was lazy. I'm like, it's midnight. I want to pull up on the driver's side and get my mail. >> Fair enough. >> So, I'm like, I'm going to go to the first mailbox on the left and turn around. I thought to myself, but I noticed this guy just like in black standing right there. >> So, I was like, all right, mental, like, you know, watch out for him on the way back, you know, guy in the black and it's dark. >> And, uh, I get down to the first driveway on the left and there is no mailbox. So I'm like uh and then actually the first thing I saw was that truck and I'm like somebody perfectly parked it right there like what [laughter] I was like fits like a glove like you can't park there. >> I was just like wait what? And so then I noticed the mailbox was out and uh I'm like yeah put two and two together. I'm like this guy must have just left the scene. >> Mhm. >> So I as I was on the phone 911 went up and checked the vehicle make sure nobody else was in there and >> nobody else was in there and I did go back up to him. He was by that time he was almost around the corner there and I told him that they wanted 911 want him to go back to the scene and he's like no I'm trying to get service I'm not drunk and he was like stumble a little bit. I don't know he might be drunk. >> Yeah probably. >> Yeah. >> I hadn't seen him but uh usually people say I'm not drunk the first thing. Yeah they don't say that. >> Is that a dog just a flag shadow? All right. Your name is ma'am >> Amber. Amber >> truck registration be Lincoln Park. >> So the way I do these just like I ask you a question, write the question down and then uh you give me your answer. I write the answer as >> thorough as you want. >> Yeah. Just uh just bear with me. I can only write so fast. So uh on today's date. >> So you you reported that someone was just like in the road walking around. I actually by the by the time I called 911 it was because I found the vehicle two and two together. It was just like yeah there's I'm reporting I said the first thing I said on reporting a crash that I just you know came across a vehicle >> that was on the side of the road and there's also a man that I had also just seen happened to see wandering down the road >> and you were while you you came across this by getting trying to get your mail. >> Yep. Okay. >> I left my residence at about 12:30 a.m. to check my mailbox for expected packages. >> So, you were you went down to get your mail out of your mailbox and you noticed the man first? >> Yeah. He was almost directly right across the street. >> Okay. >> He was on his cell phone. He was looking down on his cell phone which is just odd at this especially this summer night this morning or something and then they don't have cell phones like they're not standing there on their cell phones. >> But because he was in black, I just um took a mental note to watch out for him on my way back cuz my plan was to circle on back and pull up to my mailbox. Um, so I have uh I went to get my mail and I noticed a man in the road dressed in black. Uh, question. Did he say anything to you? >> No, I was just continuing to drive. I didn't. He didn't. He was looking on his phone. I don't even know if he noticed me. Like if you needed help, why didn't you holler down help? [laughter] >> And then when I pulled up to him later on and I asked him if he needed help, no. But yeah, you're gonna go walk into town for service. >> So he didn't say anything. Then you got your mail and then did you like go >> and then I kept trying to go to the left to the first driveway on the left so I can turn around because my plan was to pull up on my >> So once you got your mail, did you speak with him? >> Um I didn't even get my mail until after they pulled up on him. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I didn't even pull back up to my mailbox. I said to him, "Hey, you know, do you need help?" And he said, "Oh, you probably heard the sirens." And he's like, "I'm not drunk." Um, he said I said, "So, did is that you?" >> Let's just let's just back it up. All right. Um, what was your first interaction with him? You you you saw you were you turn around in that in that uh driveway. >> It was all the way down there. That was my first interaction >> over here. >> Yeah. >> Okay. After I checked the vehicle, after I noticed nobody was in the vehicle. >> Okay. >> After they were like, "Well, where's the man in black?" >> Okay. >> Do you see him anymore? And I said, "No, he's not walking this direction. He must be walking the other direction." >> So, once you found his white vehicle, you decided to drive back down that way. And uh >> once I found it, I checked if there was anybody that needed help. Mhm. >> And then Yeah, that's that's when they were asking me about where he might be. And then so then that's when you drove down and you rolled down, hey, are you all right? Kind of thing. Okay. >> I noticed he was kind of stumbling and like I told 911, I didn't really feel safe approaching him, but I was like, >> "Hey, maybe he doesn't need >> I got Let me just uh we'll get all that." >> I bought this thing that you're supposed to be able to plug into your phone, I mean your car, and then it auto connects your phone to play Netflix on the dash. Oh, sweet. >> So, is that legal? >> Probably not. >> Um, >> it's for when I'm parked cuz I'm parked waiting for doors a lot. >> When you found him, um, what was the conversation like with him? >> I said, "Hey, >> do you need any help?" >> I was wondering if you want me to go slow. >> No, you good. >> Um, he said immediately, >> you probably heard the sirens, which there wasn't any sirens yet. >> What was the conversation like? And then and then he said, "Uh, yep. I'm the one that got in the accident down there. I I'm trying to call for help, but my phone doesn't have any service." And I said to him that they wanted you to go down there and return down to the accident. >> You said that earlier you told me he told you he wasn't drunk or anything. >> Yep. He said that. >> So So you you pulled up to him. You said, "Hey, uh, >> you all right? if you need. You asked him if you need any help and he responded with >> You like mumbled right away. No, I'm I'm um I'm I'm all right. You probably heard the sirens. I'm not drunk. And then he went on saying that his phone doesn't have any service. And then I said, "Well, you they want you to return to the accident." And he said, "No, I'm just going to go get some help." Then he walked away. It was very brief. It's funny. Everything I bought from T-Mobile was for my car. I bought this window cleaner and this car phone charger that's just a retractable phone cord. >> Uh while he was walking, did he did he uh did he was he walking normal? Was he stumbling? >> Right. That's what I said right 911 as soon as I pulled up that he seemed like he was stumbling. He seemed like he was drunk as I approached him. >> Oh, come on. False advertising. Supposed to be three C chargers. >> Come on. >> Was he Was his Was his voice normal or >> It was raspy. >> Raspy. Okay. >> I grew up around drunk people so I can immediately tell. He avoided eye contact. >> Mhm. >> He didn't even ask for help. Like you just got up the road. Wouldn't you want to use my phone? Your phone doesn't have service. My phone has service. You didn't even ask. >> Yeah. All right. If you want to just sign here and initial up here. Um, >> did he uh Yeah, initial here. >> Yeah. I'm just kind of waiting before I sign.
