But >> no, cuz I'm just trying to see what's going on. >> He seat belted in the car. Obviously a bad wreck, right? I can tell you that speed is absolutely involved in this wreck. Okay. I was an accident reconstructionist for 11 years, so I am familiar with the dynamics of a crash and and what happened here. While I'm talking to him, I can smell the odor of alcohol on his breath. The officer that's working this wreck, I've informed him of this information and asked him to look into it as a possibility being under the influence based on the dynamics of the crash. Okay. He admitted to having alcohol about 6 hours ago is what he said. Had he chose to go to the hospital with EMS to get looked at, that's what we would prefer because he has been in a wreck. We are going to take him anyway and get him medically cleared because that's what's right. Okay. The way he is acting is not normal for someone that's not under the influence in my opinion. Okay. So, with that, he has now refused EMS transport. That's what the male EMT was talking to me about. Now, he's trying to get back over here. We can't let that happen. We have a suspicion that he's under the influence. We have to act on that. Okay. >> Okay. The reason we don't let people go digging into his pockets for things is cuz I don't know what's on his person. And you taking evidence off of him is bad. Okay, maybe he was texting on his phone, too, and we want to download that phone and get that information. You cannot be taking things off of him until we have done a complete search. >> Well, I'm sorry you don't care, but we are doing what's best and what is right. >> Can I talk to my mother, please? My mother right there. >> How many pairs of pants you got on? >> I got on a uh pair of draws, a pair of gym shorts, and the uh the the red pants. >> Your shorts got pockets in them. >> Uh yeah. And you nervous? You over here shaking like hell. What you shaking for? >> I ain't nervous, dog. >> No, you nervous as hell. You over here shaking like a mother. No, don't do that. No. But look, I just asked these people, bro. And they these people just gave me a chance. >> They just gave me a chance. >> You want just to go to your mama? I want to talk to my mama. I didn't ask if you wanted to talk to your mama. >> Well, you don't have a choice. >> Okay, they go with you then. Look, my mama's right there. And my kid standing right there, bro. Please, bro, let me just say, "Hey, there's something wrong to my kid." Please, bro. It was it just respect, bro. If I I it say the other way around, but I do the same thing for you, bro. >> My kid the whole time they sitting on the phone, they hollering my name the whole time. >> Your money's in your pocket. >> Can I talk to my kid? >> No. Can I come to the car? >> I asked you if you wanted to go turn your stuff over if you didn't want to. You You didn't You didn't offer me nothing. >> Watch your head. Get in. Sit down. >> Come on, man. I got to do stuff like that, bro. Why y'all think clock kind of up now? >> Three on the other >> hot right now. >> I'm not about to be. One second. >> It's not my daughter. >> Oh, okay. >> I'm sorry. >> I don't I've got kids, too. I would hate for my kids to have to see that. But when he keeps walking this direction and ignoring what we're telling him, he puts us in a position where we have no choice. I cannot let him get in the car. >> Right. And that's for our safety, this kid's safety, everybody. >> I know. I know my I know I know my rules and all this whatnot. I'm going to read you something. All right. >> Y'all ain't wrote me nothing. Y'all ain't Y'all ain't read me nothing yet. So give him my phone. >> He's just going to read you something. Listen. >> No. No. No. You should have did that before you put me in handcuff. No. You should have did that. No. No. I know the law. I do know the law. You should have did that before you put me in handcuff. >> Okay.

I could have already had that straight, man. If I was on my way to my kids, somebody ran somebody ran me off the road. >> What would have worked out better for your kids? You to comply and talk to me or >> I tried to talk to you. >> You didn't talk. >> What would happen if I >> It wouldn't have turned out like this. >> That can't >> If you would have talked to me, you would not have been arrested. >> Y'all can't sit here and run this. So, I can't sit here and run in the store and just see who ran me out the road. >> I'm in a right. People came to my car like, "Are you okay? Just wait on the police." Somebody called the police for me. >> I didn't call the police. >> We spoke to everybody. >> So, what did you say? >> You'll see that in the report. >> You see the report, but I'm getting arrested for what? >> You'll see that in the report. >> What?
