here and you're saying that you've seen these people on video and everything. Well, we need to be able to positively identify them as the people that did that. We can't just go and slide cuffs on them. So, I may have to, you know, find out what's going on and speak to them. Do you have any possible names or anything like that? Was any of that figured out last night? What is your name, sir? How do you spell that? What's a good phone number to reach you at? 96 Thank you very much. All right.

So, there's no way that you can you can 100% look me in the eyes and say, "Yep, those are those guys that are sleeping somewhere over there." And let's be honest, Westgate is a really long way from 45th and Congress. They're not going to go burglarize something over here if they're homeless and then walk all the way from Westgate all the way over here. Cuz we're cuz we're talking Cherry and Military around there. So, now 45th Street and Congress. There's just no way. I I can go over there and see if they're if they're wearing the exact same outfit, but they're not. I can guarantee that cuz you've already been over there, correct? Okay. Were you across the street just doing a banking transaction and that's what you thought you saw? How did you know to come here? So, this was third-party information from one of your workers that thinks he saw the people that were in the store and then he communicated to you and then you came over here? Okay, that's not enough, sir. I'm sorry. Okay? Do you need anything else from us? Okay. All right. Okay, listen, okay? I've explained this to you numerous times, okay? Hold on.

[Applause] [Music] Mr. Patrick. All right. So, since you claimed several times that we didn't give you a chance to speak and tell your side of story, okay? I'm going to read you your rights before I talk to you. I want to make a phone call first. Okay. Uh That's fine. Let me read you your rights, okay? You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions. Do you understand? Okay. You have the right to the presence of a lawyer of your choice before you make any statements and during any questioning. Do you understand? If you cannot afford a lawyer, you're entitled to the presence of a court-appointed lawyer before you make any statements and during any questioning. Do you understand? Any statement can and may be used against you in the court of law. Do you understand? Yeah. Any statement made must be freely and voluntarily given. Do you understand? Yeah. If at any time during the interview, you do not wish to answer any questions, you're privileged to remain silent. Do you understand? I can make no threats or promises to induce you to make a statement. This must be of your own free will. Do you understand? Okay. Do you know why you are under arrest today? Okay. You're being placed under arrest for several charges, okay? Some of them being uh impersonating a security officer, um felon in possession of a firearm. Uh What else do we got, Josh? What else What other charges do we got? Uh felon in possession, um stolen property, giving a false ID, and impersonating a security guard. Okay. And uh giving a false identification cuz you lied about your name. So, with that being said, do you want to tell me what's going on today? Let's start from the very beginning. You said you got off of work, right? Okay. Where do you work? I have two different jobs. I do I work at the Rabbits as a security and I work at a strip club as a security. Okay. So, and they the they Rabbits, they don't ask for a security license. The night club I work at, they don't ask for that either. Okay. Both separately said they don't ask for a license. They just want people good people to work there. I told them my background. I told them everything. They said that don't matter if you are a good person and you can come to work on time, I will let I will hire you. Okay. With that being said, do you understand that you cannot act as a security guard outside of your workplace? >> I was not. Okay. When you approached When you approached the first officer, you were stating that you needed some people trespassed from the property. All that I was only relaying what the what the Muslim guy was saying. That's fine, but that is enacting and acting as a security officer. Okay, that's fine. While wearing a security vest while wearing a bulletproof vest, a security a shirt that clearly says security with a badge embroidered on it and a full gun belt with at the time a concealed weapon in your pocket in in your pocket, right? Cuz you had the firearm in your pocket. So, do you see Do you see what I'm getting what I'm getting at, right? If you are allowed to work under a certain establishment as security and they don't ask for the proper credentials, that's one thing. But when you're out in public in full getup and people believe that you are a security officer, entirely different thing. Yeah, but I I simply told the the gentleman I am off. I just got off work. I'm just trying to trespass but I was at the bus stop with my cup of coffee and the young lady and young guy and the the gentleman pretty much kept waving their hands up at me. Okay. Saying come here, come here. And I >> Do you know why they were asking you to come come I was I was minding my own business. Is it fair to say that they were asking you to come over there because they saw you in full uniform and they thought you would be able to help them whether you were a security officer or a police officer? And I stated I stated that to them. Said this, I work at a strip club. If anything, you can call whatever you need to call but I I don't mind standing here and try to help you. So, moving on moving on from that. So then, we go out, we speak to you and I was just relaying what he said. Okay. Again, moving on from that. And upon the process of speaking to you, you were found to have a weapon in your pocket. Okay? Did you know that you were a convicted felon? So then, why did you originally lie about your name? I did I I go by my father's last name sometimes and I go by Your father's last name? I go by my father's last name a lot. Okay. Cuz I'm in the process of changing my name to my father's last name. I have my great So then, I have my great parents last name. So then, when the officer asked you for ID, why did you claim that you didn't have one? Because I didn't I didn't think that I did have my ID or my wallet with me. Okay. Do you see how >> I have two different wallets that I carry. Do you see how giving the wrong name to a police officer and then claiming you don't have ID when you are in fact in possession of an ID that actually has your government-issued name can make it seem kind of odd? Wouldn't you say any pertinent person would think, "Hey, this guy's lying about his name."? You'd agree, no? I I wasn't trying to do all that. I was just trying to help the guy outside there. But do you see how that that that makes it seem to us? I'm sorry. Okay. You don't have to apologize to me. I'm doing my job, man. It's not personal. You don't have to apologize to me but I'm just trying to make you see where we are coming from, where we see it. Yeah, but you wasn't there in the beginning. You You pretty You pretty much pulled that guy off. Right. You You don't even know what happened. Which is why I'm talking to you. Yeah, and then But I'm going off of what they're saying and I'm giving you a chance to dispel what they're saying and you're not. Yes, I am. You're telling I mean, you're going You're telling the truth. You're You're telling me what's going on. Yeah, and then So, once they once they once the guy that had the issue, you know, they explained it to him this and that. I was getting ready to go back to the bus stop. Listen, man. Nobody Nobody is disputing That officer just pretty much lied about oh, "Ain't you this? Ain't you that? What you doing?" And then like, I'm not doing anything wrong. Okay. If Nobody is disputing that disputing that somebody asked you for help. The Yeah, dude, I just told you everything you were charged with. Those are the crimes you have committed. So, I am explaining to you why you were charged with those things. I am not here to say that you're lying or that you're telling the truth. All I am here to to get is you have a a chance to speak your mind and and I'm giving you that opportunity. However, all right? The reason I'm I'm not disputing that you that somebody random person asked you for help to get somebody off the property, but it is clear and evident that the reason why they did so is because they thought you were security guard because you were in full uniform. >> somebody told them that I was not working. Okay. Um only I I just got my job. That's it. That was the original reason as to That was the original reason as to why you were stopped and then through throughout the investigation we found that you were in possession of a firearm and we also found that you were a 10-time convicted felon. So, it was 10, right, Josh? Uh 10 convictions? Uh yes, 10 convictions. Okay. You can't sit here and tell me that you had no idea you were I'm filling an auto auto to vote and I I have my voting rights. That means technically I'm I can't be a convicted felon. >> Oh, so so I'm lying to you about your your your 10-time convictions. I'm just lying to you for absolutely no reason. Apparently they let me vote. I Dude, I don't know if they let you vote or not. You could be lying to you, but what I am not lying to you about >> have my voting registrations and everything.

So, what I do know is that you are a 10-time convicted felon that should not be in possession of a firearm, which you were. And what I don't believe you is that you can't possibly sit here and tell me that you didn't know you were a convicted felon when you were a 10-time convicted felon, man. Not once, not twice, which is already a stretch, 10 times. So, with that being said, I'm curious. Where did you get the firearm from? Cuz I know no no gun shop is going to is going to sell you one if they sell if they run a background check on you. So, where did you get the gun gun from? A friend of mine gave it to me. A friend of you just gave it to you? You didn't buy it from him? He just gave you a gun? 300. You bought it from him for 300. What's his name?

It's It's on the piece of paper and then I have everything at my girlfriend's house. Okay. You were not at one point con- cerned about who you might be buying a gun from.

Sometimes I go to my friend's house way down. Now, several times we asked you and several times you told us you don't have a security license, right? No. Are you aware that to work as a security officer that's legally armed, meaning that you carry a firearm, you have to have a special sort of security license, not just a regular Josh small security license. It is a special classification security license. You're aware of that? I No, I I'm sorry. Okay. All I know is at the three hours they I I even said, "Do you need a license to do security?"

I just can't remember back in the day of what I, you know, I I just I I try not to think about the the past. I can't I move forward. Okay, well, unfortunately, there are some things in the past that you have to think about like the fact that you you are a convicted felon. You can't just forget that and move on about your life acting as if you're not a convicted felon. There's certain things you can't do as a convicted felon and there's certain things that are going to land you in prison for being for a convicted felon while doing these things such as today. So, you I understand you're trying to move forward and and and and make a better life for yourself, but you also have to be cognizant of your status and what you do.
