I I I I I give everybody the same opportunity, okay? Cuz if you bring anything out to the jail with you that I didn't find upon my search or our search just now, it's a introduction of contraband, which is a felony charge. Right now it's a it's a simple trespassing. You were somewhere where you you weren't supposed to be. >> I was just really just hard up in the line of bikes searching for opportunity. I rode my bike out there to the boats looking for work yesterday morning. Rode rode around, talked to a couple people looking for opportunity. Rode back. Um, I've been collecting abandoned bikes, broken-down abandoned bikes. I'm a fisher upper. So, uh Yeah, I was planning on fixing them all and selling them and maybe and getting a car. I got um word on a truck for $400. It's got a flat tire and it runs. So, I get $400, I'll have a truck and you know, I'll have something going on. I'm just like stuck in between. It's frustrating. Anyway, I found a place to work on these bikes yesterday. >> Where you from originally? >> Virginia. >> Virginia? >> Came down here on New Year's. >> Uh-huh. >> Uh, from Virginia. You ever been through a breakup, man? >> Yeah. >> Been through a bad breakup. Lost a lot of friends. And one day, I was just like, "Man, I'm so tired of this place." And I left. >> Mhm. >> I got to Miami. My second day there, I was drinking a beer, I fell asleep. My car got towed, impounded, leaving me homeless in Miami. That was my first time in my life I've ever been homeless. And uh, for 3 weeks, I was waiting to hear back from the union because they needed my birth certificate. And they sent it in the mail. So, I waited for it to get there. Waited 3 weeks to get a job. I got paid. And being as a whole situation, I was just mad at Miami, man. You know, just like having to be homeless. I was being robbed and stuff. And then So, I left Miami the second second I could. I got down here. My third My third day here, I was just like, "I'm on vacation." I got slammed on the head by this bouncer. Right where my my spine meets my brain. I mean, this horrible concussion. I called the cops about it. And they said they couldn't do nothing because it was a privately owned business. >> And now you got no car and you're kind of >> Yeah, well, the next couple of weeks apparently I was I was I remember vaguely I was wandering around looking for a job for like 2 or 3 weeks with this horrible concussion. Homeless, sleeping in my car. And not a single person offered to help me. You know, that's just the thing. I've always thought to myself, you know, like the world is a good place. Like people need help and people need help and people help them, you know. People need help and people help them, you know. People help them, you know. >> There are there are there are good people out there and then sometimes it's harder to find them others, but Exactly. I want I want to take care of this as quickly as possible. I want to get you out of the heat, get myself out of the heat. All right, we're going to try and get you all your property out there with you so it's easier. All right. Um they have a cage out there where we can store your bicycle. This is It's your bike. >> Yeah, I found that bike um at the bus stop. I think I think people what people do with that bike is they ride it when they need it and then they put it for someone else to use. And that's what I plan on doing. >> Okay. All right, well, it's in your possession right now, so as long as it's not reported stolen, then it'll come out there with us then. All right. So, just hang tight for me. All right, I'll be right I'll be right here. You feel Can you feel the AC now that I >> Yeah. >> You feel it? All right. >> It kind of hurts actually. >> What hurts? >> My back. >> Your back hurts? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Since you slammed me on the head, I've been in and out of the hospital. >> I have no insurance. >> Yeah. >> And I talked to you guys, you said you can't do nothing about it. And I'm sitting here in pain, hurting every day. I had a concussion. It ruined my life. And you guys are just like, we can't do nothing about it. And then, I'm I'm sleeping in my car, and I'm in so much pain I can't sleep. So, I end up sleeping on the floor. And you guys arrested me and stole my car. I mean, how hard would it to be to be like, "Hey, I see you're in need. Here's a person that can help you." Instead of me going through all this. >> I can't I I can't speak for what what happened there cuz I I was >> That's what I need, officer. >> I mean, I can look at I can look into it if it was if it was from our department. >> I'm an electrician. >> What's that? >> I said, I'm an electrician. >> Yeah. >> Fell asleep on a beach one day, and I was asking God, I said, "Please help me out of this situation." Never been in this situation. Don't deserve it. And the next day, I'm walking, come across this abandoned abandoned property. And I'm an electrician, and I've been doing construction my entire life. So, I thought to myself, seem like God was telling me, "You can fix up this house, and you can stay here." So, I started inquiring about this property. And um someone from the bank came like a day later. >> Yeah, I think >> It was like it was as if like my prayers were answered. >> Mhm. >> And I was pitching him my idea about what I was going to do to this house, thinking that my the situation that I was in was coming to an end. We go back to the property. I'm with him. I get out of his car. He's buying the property, signing the contract. He lives there right now. He's working on the property right now. Get out of his car. I smoke a cigarette. I get back in the car, and he offers me a place to stay in the meantime while I'm getting my things together. While I'm getting my ID back cuz at the time my wallet was stolen. And >> I don't want to cut you short. I'm going to I'm going to try to get >> Okay. >> I want to make sure I get all your belongings, all right?

The man reportedly told officers that he was tired, believed the property was a construction site, and simply wanted somewhere to sleep.
