When seat switching, weed eating, and screaming at cops collide. On November 17th, 2022, Deputy Gaddy spotted a silver sedan in Bunnel. L with window tint so dark it may as well have been spray painted. The deputy flipped on the lights and just like that, the vehicle swerved into a yard. What followed? A highlight reel of bad decisions. As the patrol car rolled up, Christopher White dove into the back seat like he was playing hideand-seek while Tatiana Verete slid behind the wheel. Smooth.

If you can explain to me what I did, I don't I have no problem explaining that to you as long as we can talk like adults. We could have talked like adult. I was on the other side of the car and I never came to you like you said. You said I came over to you, did I? Okay. But that's what you said, right? It's on video, right? But you said that walking away. You said she's going to jail. Are we going to talk or you going to just yell over? Just answer that question and I answer you.

All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. All right. I lawfully stopped this vehicle regardless if it's your property or not. It does not matter. All right. This you stop for 10 and it's been stopped before. Never got to my problem. Oh, but it's But you work for Flaggler County, right? Flagler County stopped there. So what one ticket goes, one don't. That's how they do it. Not every deputy has a tent meter. I do. Well, how many times at night? and they never I can't wait to I want the I want the judge to see this one. You're more than welcome to see it. It's going to be on video. Multiple angels. I have videos here, videos here, and I'm going to have photos of your tent. Okay. When you came out, that's fine. You can come out and watch all you want. You come out and record all you want. And I was on my property. Uhhuh. Nobody's refuting that you were on your property. What you cannot absolutely cannot do that is clearly written in Florida state statute is approach and interfere with my stop. So when you've approached my stop on the other side of this vehicle screaming your obscinities and I pulled you five times back though. Tell me how I intervened. With drawing my attention away from the occupants doing what you're doing still I stopped you from getting her out the car. Sir, I didn't say that. I said that would be I'm I'm just not understanding. Please explain me. Hold on. Let me know what Okay, I'm I'm asking a question. To interfere means to stop you from doing what you're doing. to interfere something means I had to stop you, right? Okay. How did I stop you? You withdrew my attention away from my occupant. But you still was getting her out the car and show that I can't do that. So I didn't withdraw. That does not mean that you were allowed to do that. But how did I take your attention away? That's what I don't understand. I didn't because now I'm watching you as a possible threat. You're still doing what you're doing. So I didn't interfere. No, I can't watch them now. I have two people that just switch seats on me in a vehicle. People do that for a reason. He just ate the weed. He just destroyed my evidence because I'm busy watching you. Meanwhile, your other daughter or granddaughter comes over to my back seat and although I would agreed to allow you to withdraw the children from the vehicle, took things out of this vehicle. Now, that may be a child in evidence, a child and a weapon or just a child. I don't know because now it's already happened. But my granddaughter said to get the baby out the car. I did not say that. Who said get the baby? Somebody said get the the baby out. They did. The occupants of the vehicle that are now under arrest said that. M. So you interfered with my stop and you want to know why you are in handcuffs? Just call and come. Okay. Where's your driver's license? No. Am I going to jail? So I can call somebody to come get me. That's all I need to know. I'll make that decision. I'll make that I will give you my ID when I go to jail. At this point, you are lawfully detained and required to provide me your ID. If you do not provide me it, you will go to jail for refusing. So are you saying yes or no? Cuz I can't go get my ID with my handcuffs on. Or you can provide it to the house. Is this vehicle registered to you? Yes. What's your name? It's the same name that's on this. This is your vehicle as well. The insurance on my name is on this. What is your first name? Johnson. I'm sorry. Kyoka Johnson. Okay. Just to confirm your identity. What's the last word of your social? 6775. You have a co. Do you drive with him still? Okay. All right. You wanted to talk to my supervisor, right? Yep. He was taken to jail. Yep. He should be right down the road. Okay. I'm going to let him review all the videos as well. And here's what happened cuz I don't know what you know and what you don't. All right, I've been behind this vehicle since Anderson over here. All right, I can see it's tents are too dark. I'll even throw a meter on it in front of you and you can read it with me and see that it's too dark. I can tell through my training and how many times I pulled over vehicles that these tents are too dark. All right, I initiated my stop. You got the signly came over here, pulled into your yard. That's fine. People do it all the time. They live over here. I don't care if they pull into somebody's yard. All right. As I walk up and I can clearly see through this back window that has zero tint on it. The driver jumps into the back seat while the passenger jumps into the driver's seat attempting to deceive me of who was driving the vehicle, which is commonly related to a crime. Turns out he doesn't have a license, which would be the exact reason he attempted to deceive me. All right. That's a lot of movement in the vehicle that I'm approaching. I don't know if you know, we die a lot. I mean, a lot of people die a lot. Yeah. I'm not saying they don't. Who was that for? But why do we need to do what was that for, sir? I'm letting you know that that's a lot of black people die a lot, too. So, okay. So, why do you say we Everybody dies a lot. So, why do we need to do unnecessary things? You admit that that was irrelevant? Nope. Anyway, that was very irrelevant. Are you going to listen or you just want to argue about this? Wow. We die a lot. We do everybody, right? But why do we need to do things that I don't know? I can't answer that question. So, why do you need to come and interfere with my stuff before you even know what's going on? Because we die a lot. So, I was making sure they didn't. You can record people over there. We die a lot. I wanted to make sure they didn't. Increasing the stress level is not going to help anybody. I wanted to make sure they didn't die. Okay. I'm glad to know that. I'm glad that they That's why I did I answered your question. I'm glad to know that nobody got hurt neither educate you here. I don't need to be educated. I see what I see on the news. That's all I need. I don't need you to educate me. I probably make more than you. I don't need you to educate me, but I'm not under arrest. You said what you did. You said that's why you was doing that. Am I going to jail or you could take this off? But like I said, we all die a lot. And after you said that, there's nothing else I would I would never look at you like that again. Sit still. All right, man. You're under arrest. You realize that, right? Definitely, sir. All right.
