Um Well, hold on. Let me Let me see what uh Um he wanted to discuss his uh lawyer status and uh I'm telling us where the things are to expedite the search warrant, but then he asked to talk to mom and dad whether or not that's the best course for him.

I'll show you where everything is. >> Okay. Come on. >> Hopefully you take that into account, but >> Yeah. So Boss, if you want to give Mom and Dad the search warrant, there there's the two of them. >> [snorts] >> I'll go with you. >> Clayton leads the detective inside where officials redact the screen. But according to an incident report, 210 individual Pokémon cards, seven sealed box packages of Pokémon cards, and blood-stained clothing were recovered. Investigators also found an estimated 20 g of mushrooms, which were placed separately into evidence. Additionally, while in the home, Clayton allegedly revealed that he had dumped the saw used in the crime in a nearby trash can. >> Need someone to take him to he's going to show you he tossed the gar- the saw out in a garbage can around the block. >> Okay. >> So he knows which garbage can it was. >> We have a transport car right here. >> Okay. >> And uh >> If you guys want to go >> Yeah.

It was that one? >> Pretty sure it was this one. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> While the trio searches for the electric saw, investigators back at the home continue speaking with Clayton's parents. >> stuff. Yeah, crazy stuff. >> Can you guys shake him or knock some sense into him or >> This is going to knock some sense into him. Um He cooper- He showed us where everything is. He hid a lot of it in his fish room. All of the the Pokémon cards. Um and then he had a bag that was stuffed in his closet with all of the bloody clothes and the bags that he used to take everything today. So. >> Yeah, cuz he he was washing his hands and and he said, "I cut myself." And I didn't see his hands, but he was telling me that and and I'm like, "How'd you do that?" He said, "Oh, the fish aquarium, the glass on top of the fish aquarium broke. Um >> So, we'll be in and out of your hair real quick. >> Okay. >> Um I'm just waiting on my partner to going to go >> So, I don't want to miss work for this because I I think this is not my my problem. It is his problem. He's an adult and he needs to take responsibility, come clean. Why the hell would you do this? He needs to work at work on something. You know, cuz we're not going to tolerate this. You're not going to live here if this is if this is the future. It's you know, I just you you just have to do that. >> Right. Well, it's not something that requires you to manage on his behalf. >> Yeah. I'm sorry that it took this many people off Like I said, it's a precaution. This stuff. I don't know why he would do this. It's It's wrong. It's definitely wrong. It is a crime and he should should do whatever, you know, he has to do. I don't I don't want him hurt or anything. I just worry cuz jail is There's two things I fear and one is jail and the other is hell. And I was raised a good Catholic girl and your morals and your conscience and I think some people don't have a conscience. >> Deputy said due to the garbage collection happening earlier in the day, the saw could not be recovered. >> It's just the chainsaw that was it? >> Yeah, just the chainsaw. >> Okay. All right. We'll go back in and go back over. All right. >> Did one of you guys take my vape? >> Uh I think it was just still in the back of the car with like your knife and everything else. It should still be sitting there. >> Clayton was charged with burglary to an unoccupied structure and grand theft. Court records show the 33-year-old ultimately pleaded guilty to the charges, but a judge later withheld adjudication. The suspect was jailed for 2 days and given 2 years of probation. He was also ordered to pay restitution. As for those Pokémon cards, >> What's up, sir? >> Good. How are you? >> Tryna trade today? You tryna trade product? >> Yeah. >> We do all the time to trade.
