Put your foot down. >> No, I can't. I got a disability. >> Like the I said that on my face. >> No, I got a disability. What the are you doing? >> We expect adults to act their age, but some miss the memo and maturity. When arrest becomes a reality, it turns into a big kid's mess. So, what really happens when these grown-up kids have emotional meltdowns? >> I gave you multiple orders. Stop. gave you multiple orders. >> Put your arms behind your back now. >> You hurt my back. >> Tell me how I'm hurting your back. >> You But you're restraining me and I'm handcuffed. >> Here are several instances when grown-up children have emotional meltdowns. The first grown-up child on this list is a 20-year-old crybaby who believed he could outpace the police only to be caught in a flood of his own tears. >> You have no idea howing sorry I am, man. I have never done anything like this in my entire life. Dude, I am a 20-year-old kid that's just trying to get home, man. I pulled over, man. I was not trying to run for you. I promise you. I wish I could ruin you, but there's no way besides my word, man. >> Listen, you're you're going to hyperventilate. All right. >> I can't breathe. >> Stand up. >> On August the 13th, 2023, Gabrielle was just driving home in his black car, thinking it was just another boring night. But then the police lights flashed behind him. Instead of pulling over as he should have, he chose to race away, turning his sleepy drive into a story he would tell, but maybe not with pride. >> There ain't nothing in your car. Here you go. >> Get out of the car. >> Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, buddy. >> Yeah. Sorry about that, man. I ain't even going to lie. It's all right. Oh, please, sir, turn around. I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sorry. Please. >> Listen, it's not my fault. >> No, I know. I know. I know. I understand. I know. >> I didn't cause you to turn off your lights. Drive on the wrong side of the road. Go about 100. All right. >> No, I have lights on. >> No. No, you didn't. You turned them off. >> No, look. I'm serious. Look at my lights. They're on. >> No, you turned them off. All right. >> And then I didn't tell you to disregard my lights and sirens. Okay. >> I didn't know they were on, so I hit this road. >> Right. All right. >> I already know the same guns go fast on our counter, man. >> Okay. All right. Forward. Do you have any weapons on you? >> No, sir. >> Anything on you at all? >> No, sir. >> Anything in your shoes? >> No, sir. >> All right. Where's your >> I gave you my ID. >> Okay. Yeah, you're right. All right, come on. Sit back down, >> man. >> Yeah, I'm sorry. >> Please, man. >> Man, please, man. >> Take a seat. >> Sorry, man. >> Take a seat. >> Yeah, I know. >> Thank you. Gabriel, the driver, tried to talk his way out of trouble with the cop, but his explanations meant to clear things up just made everything messier. >> I wasn't trying to flee on you. I promise you. >> You did. >> I was not. >> Oh, you did, bro. You turned your lights off when you saw them behind. When you saw my lights behind you, you turned your lights off, and you were taking evasive actions, getting out of this lane, going into a lane that is not a straight lane to get around cars and flee from me. And when you when you seen that I was coming up behind you, >> flee you. I know what that car has in it. There's nothing in it that'll flee, >> right? Well, unfortunately, it is what it is at that point. Okay. I don't I don't know what to tell you. >> Everything's all on body cam. All right. So, >> I was not trying to flee you. I was trying to get home, man. >> I promise you that's it. I mean, I know a lot of people probably say, "I promise you, but >> the officer described to his colleague what he had observed during the pursuit." As he spoke, it was pretty obvious that Gabriel's version of events was not at all like what had really happened. Gabriel kept saying that his car's lights turned off by themselves, but the cop knew what he saw, and it wasn't the car playing tricks. >> I don't think I could cut them off, man. >> I'm serious. I'd let you check if you want, >> dude. I really, man, Dude, I am y like I know. I know what I did wrong. And I really, man, please don't do this, man. >> I didn't do it. >> I know. I did it, man. I know. But please, isn't there like an appearance or something in court? >> Well, it's a felony. Yeah. So, >> the summons in court, something like that, man. >> It's a felony. It's not a misdemeanor. I can't just cut you. >> For which part, man? Which one's >> fling the loot? >> I didn't mean I swear to God, man. I didn't mean to. I knew that car ain't fast enough to run away from anybody. >> Is that what you realize when you tried? >> No, I already knew it wasn't fast enough. I was just trying to get home, man. I promise you. >> Driving like an idiot then? Like, >> yes, I was just trying to get home. I promise you, man. That's I'm just young, man. That's it. I know I'm 20 and I might live like a but I don't know. I don't know how you guys see stuff, man. But I really am not trying to run from nobody. I just got in trouble for this. >> The lights and sirens behind you. >> I didn't see you. I didn't see you. So this, bro, that's why I pulled over. >> That's what I'm saying is I turn my lights and sirens on and you turn your lights off, right? Cuz you completely went >> No, I didn't see the lights have auto lights. No matter what, if I turn them off, the auto lights are already on. >> Just turn off. >> I wish I could show you, man. Just to prove you. I really was not trying to run from I wasn't trying to run from you or nothing. I don't know if the back ones automatically turn on or off, but the front ones are always on no matter what you do in that car when it's on. >> All right, man. I swear to God on everything I love, man. >> So, what what's what's the reason for >> I was just trying to get home. It's been a long day, man. Me and my girlfriend been fighting the time, man. I swear to God. I ain't trying to run from nobody or have no problems like this. I have to work seven days a week, man. Every day just to keep up with my bills. >> I get it. >> I am not trying to run from nobody. I would not. I just want to go home, man. >> I got you, man. >> I swear to God. I think I run, dude. >> I I've already looked up what's in that car, man. There ain't nothing to run from in there. >> I got you. No, there's not. So, that's kind of my like I'm trying to understand like what where did all this start from? >> I pulled over, man. I was not trying to run for me. I promise. I wish I could ruin you, but there's no way besides my word, man. And I know you go through this all the time, >> but I genuinely don't. >> You know, I I turned my lights on. I know what you're saying, man. I know what it looked like, but I swear to God, man. I was not trying to run from you. >> I don't do that. >> There ain't I'm not one of these weirding people that be doing that. I already know what this car got, but I'm telling you, the lights are already on. They always have auto lights on when that car is on. >> All right, man. Hang tight. All right. >> Yes, sir. >> Reality eventually crashed into Gabriel, washing away his composure. He pleaded for mercy, but the cop wasn't buying any of his reasons. >> Please, brother. I'm begging you, man. Can you please, man? >> How's Pat one showing? >> Please, man. >> Listen, man. You made a grown-up decision. Now you got to have grown up consequences. All right. >> The red light and the speed, man. I understand that that was my fault. for the the run for me, man. I swear to God that was not meant that was not meant to happen. I didn't think you would see it that way at all. You You should know as well as I do, man. That car ain't going to run away from any of these. There ain't no point of running to when there's no car to run in or in general, man. I just I'm just begging you, man. I know what I did, but I'm being completely 100% honest, man. and take action, everything. But the the old running from me is not what I was doing at all. I wouldn't have pulled over, man, if that was what I was doing. Dude, I'm Man, I'm begging you for a break. Please, man. Please, man. I got my whole life together right now. 303 is P1 191. Did >> you Did you check it the car? You see the light? >> 10 4 I'll be 51. >> You check the car. See the lights on? >> No. >> Well, does it matter if you do? >> No. Listen, I mean, they're they're automatic, but you still have the ability to turn them off. >> No. No, I can't turn the front ones off, man. >> Okay. Well, I didn't see your front. I seen your backs. >> Oh, those I don't know if they go off for sure. I think they might. [Music] >> Man, I'm begging you, man. I know you hear this a lot, but seriously, man, this is honestly the biggest misunderstanding ever, man. I'm begging you, man. I'll be court, whatever. >> Yeah. I mean, you're going to have to go to court. Yeah. >> Can you please, man, don't do this to me tonight. I got to work early in the morning and everything, man. I just I'm trying to do good, man. >> Just when Gabrielle figured that he'd hit rock bottom, the officer dropped another bombshell. This information landed heavily, sinking Gabriel's spirits even further. >> So Towing can have it. Your car is getting impounded. >> And I just had someone pick it up. >> No. >> Was this my girlfriend right there? >> Okay. I can't pick it up. >> 727815. Man, you could have just like you could have just let me have a break today. There ain't nothing you could have done. >> Okay, I have been >> Yeah, if you uh if you didn't try to take evasive action to get away from me initially. I >> was not trying to take evasive action, man. It don't matter what I say to you, does it? >> No, because I know what I saw. >> And I know what I was doing. I was just trying to get home, dude. I live right around the corner. This is >> I'm just scared, man. >> Listen, they they'll allow you to make a phone call. >> I'm justing scared, dude. This is so such a big deal. >> Hey. Oh. >> Overwhelmed by the situation, Gabriel began to hyperventilate. While the officers moved quickly to calm him, one couldn't help but ponder what invisible load was this young man carrying that made even the air too heavy to breathe. Relax, bro. Just take take some deep breaths. You're You're good. >> Five minutes. But he's freaking out now. You should have a few other guys in the back. I can pull them out of the van. Throw them on. >> Yeah. If you give me like five, maybe 10 minutes. >> I got you, man. >> Is that Will that work? >> I got you. >> Get a deep breath. Can I open the door? >> Yeah. He's going to open the door here for you. All right. passenger side. >> What did he do? >> He's claiming it's not playing, but you're you're going to hyperventilate. All right. I can't breathe. >> Stand up. Stand up. Listen. You're going to hyperventilate. You'll be fine. is done. Now you're going to be man up and you got to be man enough to take back. Just as the drama seemed to settle, Gabriel's girlfriend's mom pulled up clueless about the night's unfolding events, she was taken a back to find out that Gabriel, who was in a rush to be home, had instead booked himself an extended trip with charges like fleeing from the cops, reckless driving, and ignoring traffic lights and headlights. His haste to reach his house had landed him in a spot where home was now just a word in his vocabulary. While Gabriel got in big trouble for wild driving, this guy's shopping trip also went crazy in a way that he did not expect. >> What's up with you guy? >> Who said I did what? >> No, I got a disability. I'm not sitting nowhere. >> Just calm down. >> What the hell are y'all doing, bro? Get off me. You stupid mother. Shut the up. It ain't even no illegal charge against me. On April the 26th, 2024, TJ Maxx became more than just a place for discounts and deals. It turned into a stage for an unexpected drama. The police officers were called in for what they may have thought would be a straightforward case of disturbance and stepped into a scenario where everyday shopping activities would take a bizarre turn. The crazy events that occurred begun with this young man, not there to cause trouble, but simply looking for a new pair of shoes. Yet the very act he claimed peaceful shopping was about to catalyze his own undoing. Little did anyone present know this ordinary day was about to script its own twist where finding the right shoes would lead to an entirely different kind of fit. One with handcuffs. >> Hey sir, >> sir, what's going on? >> Boy, what you okay? Boy, what you saying? >> Nothing. We're just trying to make sure you're all right. >> You trying to make >> 42 43. You >> Well, in the middle of a shopping store. >> I'm going to be out with the subject. We're going to be uh in the baby section. If you walk straight in, he'll see us. >> What? I What I did? >> No, they said that you were just laying around on the ground and you're saying some mean stuff to people. Who? Who said that? >> I'm going to be out with the subject. If you come right in to TJ Maxx, you'll see us. Shut the >> Stay right here, man. >> Stay here. >> Yep. You got to talk to me. >> At this point, the young man found himself backed into a corner, not with physical barriers, but by the relentless questioning of the officers. In an unexpected twist, he tried flipping the script, aiming to take charge. But the officer, seeing through his act of boldness, held firm, turning what should have been just another day into an unexpected showdown. >> 42 to 43. What's your location? >> Real quick, bros. >> Come on. Come on. Yeah, you don't need to come 1018. But he's getting ass here, boy. >> Come on. >> Come on. Bring that ass here, boy. >> Sit down. >> I'm not about to sit no mother. >> Sit down, dude. >> Slap the [ __ ] out. >> We're just trying to figure out what's going on. >> Slap the dumb [ __ ] out your ass if you don't shut the hell up. >> I didn't do damn [ __ ] >> Come over here and step away from all these nice people. Shut the up. I'm going to Jersey Mike. Sit down, dude. >> 42 to 43. If you want to go ahead, step 18. >> No, I'm not sitting down. Who the you talking to? >> Sit down. >> Who the you talking to? >> I need to be out front of Jersey Might now. He's still walking away from me. Still 27. >> Just you need to sit down. Sit down. Sit down for what? >> Because we're trying to figure out what's going on in there. >> Shut the up. >> All right. You need to sit down or else we're going to Stop. You're not going inside. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Nope. >> Nope. >> Sit down. >> Sit down. >> Sit. >> Come sit down over here. >> No, I'm not sitting nowhere. I didn't do anything. You might have thought his bold attitude would cow the officers only for them to show that his antics were not just a case of a simple misunderstanding. >> Get your hands off me, boy. I knock your mother doing that, Mr. Mitch. >> Get your hands off me. I knock your >> Get your hands off before I knock your >> Look at Get your hand off before I knock your ass. Get off me. You fine. Knock your ass up. >> You better get off. You're going to get tased. You're about to get tased. Your time is calm down. >> At this point, he understood his tough front wasn't going to help him. Things didn't just stay at harsh words. They soon turned physical in a flash. >> What is your name? I'm Officer Simus. What is your name, sir? What is your name? I'm just showing up here. I don't know what's going on. >> I don't know what the you showing up here for. I ain't [ __ ] but go to Jersey Mike to get me something to eat. >> What was you doing before this? >> Officer Simmon, sir. >> You You >> boy, get the hell away from me, boy.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I don't know. That's why I'm asking you to figure out what I was in TJ Madden shopping. >> Okay.

What the are you doing, bro? [ __ ] up, >> bro. In the end, he was charged with two counts of obstructing an officer and one count of felony obstruction. His journey from shopper to arrestee proved that in a court of law, even the best excuses can't always save you from the consequences of your actions. Although this guy at TJ Maxx going wild over shoes was crazy, he was nothing compared to this Florida man at the flea market who made it his own wild party, not caring who he upset. Even the police, >> Roger, I would say this now. >> Do you personally? >> I gave you multiple orders. Stop. Gave you multiple orders. >> Put your arm behind your back now. >> That's fine. That's fine. Stop. Stop. You're going to stay on your side now. Come here side. I'm done with that. In April 2024, at a flea market in Big Pine Key, Florida, where one might expect to find bargains and community spirit, police were called to a scene that contrasted this peaceful atmosphere. The focus was a 51-year-old man later identified as Roger, who turned his father's booth into a personal battleground. Roger had been sleeping on the floor of the booth and became upset when his father interrupted his sleep. An hour after the initial disturbance, Roger returned to the scene intoxicated. He began throwing items from the booth that were for sale and allegedly shoved his elderly father. He had a previous conviction for battery in 2019 for intentionally pushing his father multiple times and holding him down against his will. As the deputies approached the scene, they were unaware they were about to confront one of the most erratic and challenging manchilds ever. >> Hey, Roger. Go this way. Come on. >> What's up? No. That >> Roger. Hey, this mother used to beat me relentlessly. He used to chill me out, mother. I'm just making Roger. Come on. >> Go ahead. No. What's up, >> Roger? >> Roger. >> What do you want to do? >> Tas me, bro. >> I don't want to tase you, man. >> Listen, Roger. Roger. >> Despite the deputy's efforts to calm things down, Roger showed no interest in resolving the conflict peacefully. >> Hey, ma'am. Ma'am, I ma'am, I hear that, ma'am. Ma'am. Jesus. Here we go. Back up real quick cuz I'm not trying to make a scene here. Roger, come on. >> Why? >> You want to play? >> Why? Roger. Ry, stop. Stop.

You want to listen? You got two choice. >> Way. Y'all going your way. I'm going. >> Just when the tension seemed to reach its fever pitch, Roger made a choice that not only heightened the conflict, but also compelled the deputies to respond with immediate and decisive measures. >> I'm going here. We're good. We're good. Push him out. Push him out. We're good. We're getting separated. All right. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Hold on. Don't grab hands on that deputy one more time. You're going to get >> Hold on, man. You >> I'm going to tell you this now. Roger. >> I said, >> "Look at me. I'm here. I'm I'm talking to you." All right. I'm going to tell you this now, Roger.

We're going to move it along. >> Mind your business, bro. >> No. Hey, Roger. You're not going to talk to my partner like that. Look at me. Listen. No, we're done listening. I'm done listening with you, dude. All right. >> You're done listening? >> Yes. You step one. Take one more step. I'm going tell you right now. >> If you take another step back in there, >> I don't care. Listen. Roger. If you take another step in there right now, understand this.

Come on. >> Oh, it does matter. >> While the deputies attempted to talk Roger down, they were unaware he was moments away from crossing a threshold that would necessitate their use of force.

I got enough with these people. >> All right. >> We're good. Let me up. Yeah. Sit up right there. >> I do not deserve this. >> After securing him, deputies requested medical help to assess any injuries from the arrest. Despite his initial refusal, paramedics tried to treat a cut on his face. Yet, as the deputies prepared to take Roger to the station, his uncooperative behavior continued. >> No, no, no. Because you you keep pushing back on me. That's why you keep pushing back on me. That's why. Stop. Stop. You're fine. >> Stop right here. Stop right here. Stop right here. Face my vehicle.

We need a direction. >> I'm just fine. Y'all are jerking me around. I said, "Yes, sir." In the end, Roger's reckless actions led to severe charges, including felony battery on a person over 65, with the most heart-wrenching consequence being the irreparable harm to his bond with his elderly father, who out of fear for his safety, felt compelled to press charges. just
