box of that is led's cleaning 243 supplementary cory cory you haven't met me yeah my name is adrian chalice i'm in mexico state police investigations bureau um we would like to like like uh sardi has told you something ago you're not in an arrest you're free to go at any time you don't want to speak to us or whatever if you wish not to but we'd like to hear your side of the story so if you're willing to sit down with us and just hear you tell us a good we'd like to get out of the sun sit down in their air condition it's up to you but you can you can walk out anytime or we can sit right there we can sit right inside if you wish that would only be an officer safety issue so if you want to talk to us out here we could do that or we could talk in there can i use it it's up to you just go inside but you guys go inside have you released that yet they can't have y'all in there so before we before i let you all go inside he's got a paper for you to sign it's basically us releasing the house back to you and and and also and also the items that we took from the house at the same time i would like for you to walk through the house with the officer to to to to make sure everything's the same way we found it okay and yeah okay you know i have to let you know that one you're not under arrest because i know that was a concern earlier on the phone you didn't talk to me you talked to him i don't have a warrant for you we are not going to jail today however you don't have to talk to us and i want you to understand that okay all right i i the thing is is i know okay yeah like i like the thing is it's like i don't i know specifically why you guys are here i mean i've been told yet but uh i got in trouble for a person an officer and i did everything i could to make sure that i didn't do nothing wrong but i've never done everything since then so i know that's the reason that you're here because i know i haven't broken you know uh uh i'm just scared because i i know where it can go and where it can lead me somebody called my boss already you know what i'm saying and i wasn't us i know i know but whatever my boss has been notified that the state police are serving a search warrant so that immediately just degrades me because i'm a reporter i work for koq news i do this stuff daily you know so if there is any like this right here it's bad for listening online here you go sir no thank you sir sure yes sir very hot out here today we don't want you to fall out on us i've been in ac all day okay um but yeah like uh i know specifically like i know nobody's told me why i know why you're here because i know i have never done nothing i i will tell you the the warrant um she's giving the copy of the warrant right now the reason why we came into your house he's giving that to your mom right now as well as what we took from it when we sit down and and talk to you um we'll just uh you know i'm not the lead agent in this that's going to be kai perez right there um so i don't want to say anything out of line because i don't know much what's going on okay i did just want you to know that that uh it's all voluntarily okay and we don't have no warrant for you the thing is is for you to get a search warrant there has to be legit evidence for you to be you know so that's that's me just knowing what i know it's just like it freaks me out more because now it seems like there's backing evidence in some cases for you to come and get a search arm from my house because the judge doesn't just sign off on you yeah district attorney's office signed on as well as district court judge which is a court of record and that's what we could use it's okay i was gonna ask if you want to just walk with mom make sure everything was in order the way it was and then we can start talking to him so we can get out of here just get out of the road so i don't want you to get hit i don't want to get either so yeah yeah so they'll see you and they might purposely track you that's why i was so i honestly that's what i i don't i don't want you to be a part of getting hit because they aimed at me so i'd rather everybody get out the way the way i am i would jump in and push your ass off the way yeah i truly appreciate that the way it looks right now put it this way out of all houses on this block this is the one no officers should be at no event like uh it's just really weird and so you guys are towing my car for search one as well what's up you're telling the car from search it will be ticking yes until we're we process it in it everything that we take everything that we take is your property and it eventually will get back to you it has to go through the the da's process and core process to relinquish but we're not going to deprive you of that we let let's sit in the car air conditioner because if not i'm gonna get some cancer here so the doors open you can jump out you can even leave it cracked if you wish but we're not taking you nowhere yeah i know so if you want to come just have a seat with us i don't i don't like that you guys have to be here you know we'll get out of here quick yeah no i just mean in general like uh i shouldn't have a case you guys shouldn't have to investigate you guys shouldn't have to be just here a minute go inside up here you can get the air conditioner quicker over here i'm good is there a notebook right here mr travis oh there is uh a waiver all right you thank you but uh so it was it court is that your first thing before my legacy for land agencies even shout outs you can call me stephen and i'll find you that this uh you see my cool part right here kai perez and and i'm sure he's fine we're just calling him five as well thank you for sitting in here and wanting to kind of give your side of the story um a lot of people out there talking a lot of people saying things around when we talk first so i just wanted to reiterate real quick before we start telling us anything is that the door's open right here to the air conditioner you can step down anytime you're free to go anytime there's a there's not a warrant for your arrest i know that was the biggest concern and i know you're still worried about that but i'm promising you right now i do not have more for your arrest you know there's anybody here we're not going to jail today we are not charging you with anything today we just want to keep your side of the story of things so if you're willing to enlighten us on your side i would i would definitely like to hear it definitely because i don't i don't even know what's going on honestly so you learned you alluded to a little bit of things that you think or you assumed it was going on you wanna just tell us about that okay so i was contacted one time by state police officers i don't know their two names they came to my house i solid i thought it was a stolen vehicle vehicle had broken back windshield shattered brake lights headlights everything it's all pulling offsets i called it in he actually dug through offsets and drove crazy i was taking my buddy home we kind of followed okay uh i don't remember the street we're on i was over he parked basically where that red vehicle was maybe even further and i just parked to tell dispatch where he was there's gentlemen just yeah you have the keys to your truck i need to keep these keys i just need the ignition you're always going to need this because we don't want to know the record isn't what causing damage to the vehicle trying to pull it up no i understand and like i said i apologize to grow this rival you have some law enforcement experience and you've been doing right along so you kind of see how we work right and it's kind of the step we had to do okay so that and uh so i apologize to interfere hopefully and if you're too bad you know we try to do it quick and as respectful and as a professional as possible honestly i understand um so the gentleman got out of his vehicle and proceeded to walk towards me as i'm on phone with dispatch i'm reversing the vehicle he's walking towards me while i'm on the phone with dispatch i alerted to him that i'm parking the church i'm now backing up for my safety the gentleman's walking towards me with his hand in his pocket now i always have a firearm on you you know but i know in this situation i followed him so if self-defense is kind of out of the window here because i followed you know what i'm saying so i'm now i don't care what he's doing even if he's come to talk to me or whatever i'm backing up and reversing there's there has to be this on dispatch i'm on the phone with them as i'm reversing he starts coming closer to me closer to him and getting close and i'm backing down the street away from didn't even try to turn around because i didn't i don't know what he's doing and with the hand in the pocket i had the assumption he had a firearm now i don't need to get in this type of situation so i need to get the [ __ ] out of it as i'm backing up i have uh i own a security company we've done stuff at the airport and stuff i had to have i have yellow lights all across the car that's the reason you told the car i already know i did not activate in any sort of light i hit the air horn right here on my vehicle is a magnet where my glock magnet suit you know right above it is the siren controller which controls lights and the horn instead of reaching all the way up here as i'm reversing with the hand on the wheel all i did was go from my hand from my gun to tap the horn and proceeded that's the only thing that i ever did there when i talked to the state police officer we kind of discussed what what it was they were here at my house i i had the same fear when state police arrived at my house i spoke with them everything because i know how slippery of a slope i took it but i know in in in my reality of it i didn't do nothing wrong and i didn't impress the other officer uh as far as my assumption was is a horn airborne is not emergency equipment that was that was my assumption uh as far as i looked into the wall you know maybe i didn't look far enough or maybe i don't know uh previously to that about a week or so prior as you say more than likely you guys had to do it this route because i'm constantly involved with the sheriffs and everything like that so more or less wind or anything um i understand i also talked to a deputy i know where this is you know i understand uh the first stupid incident that happened i was on the phone with deputy padilla because i was pulling here to my house as i pulled right here off of ballard vehicle flies past me truck ford maybe it's one am or so he hopped the curb i reported as a dwi i'm telling the deputy that i ride along with because i was just talking to her about a stolen vehicle and she asked me if i see it so instead of calling dispatch i just called her she was right there i followed crossbow never initiated anything okay gentleman pulled into his driveway deputy ppd asked me specifically what's the driver's license i pull right here in the middle of the street stop never you know like when you initiate a traffic stop sometimes you point your forward to it or nothing stopped in the middle of the street right there got the plate told deputy putin same time the gentleman's coming to the car angry as [ __ ] that i followed him uh i don't even remember what he said but he's coming to me now this is where i completely and you know like my intent in no sort of way was criminal or anything i was reporting a drunk driver that's all that was uh uh again i got myself in a stupid situation but for my fear i was like this i don't know what this guy's doing i initiated my yellow lights on the sides so there's three different settings to my lights i don't know if you're just like that or what you have one that you can initiate your front one to initiate the rear one to kind of do some perimeter i did the side light which i know was wrong but i did the side light for my safety i didn't know what the guy was doing i was i was honestly scared now when i talked to deputy vidia called her back i told her everything that was going on told him where i was she said put your hazards on to let the deputy know where you're at i proceeded to [ __ ] put my lights on and then i got out the car as the deputy passed he passed this way past the intersection like didn't even turn on the right street i got out the vehicle about an hour or so prior i responded to a stabbing on these i want to say at least the 1700 block of south lee as i told you before when i go to a stabbing or shooting i always wear my vest so at the time i had my vest on that's that's literally i have nothing else to add because nothing else happened now i know that you guys already know this you know on because if you're investigating this you already know what the report is or whatever i i is that the only thing that you want to tell us those two once again that's the only thing that's ever happened ever i've never in my mind any time that you could say that i've even got close to a personal officer only twice in my lifetime and i just told you those two times never ever again so help me understand your vehicle you talked about some lights what are the type of how do you have your vehicle set up so what do you mean so what color are the lights yellow and white every single one on the vehicle there's no other colors negative negative is there any way to alter negative i mean you would literally have to know what i'm trying to ask you is does do they flash alternating white and yellow are together or is there a pattern or how does that so the only white in yellow is the bar that's up here and they all flash together it's like a weird there's this big and they have a flash pattern but i made sure that they're together because they can separate like white and yellow and make sure that it was together so it's the rest of the lights on the complete vehicle is yellow and they can't even be like assumption as i made sure to get amber lights because i wanted to follow i also storm chase so sometimes i pull on the road to tornadoes uh in oklahoma and everything so i had to follow 50 state laws within those lights so when you when you you you who do you work for i work for kiwi news i work for the chavez county news network i'm a reporter for the chavez county or i'm i'm the owner of the chavis county news network so i do everything for them i'm a reporter for krqe and in in the process of recording you have you work with anybody no i'm by myself by yourself so would you record anything what do you mean when you go up to to record or gather information do you record things as well like stories what do you i'm sorry just down a bit more i'm trying to understand your job oh okay so my reporter right yeah so my job as a reporter what do you how do you perform your duties so you go out something on a day-to-day basis like today i get there 7 a.m i find a story in a sense like today my story is the razzle firefighter that died last year is they have a lawsuit against the city so i find stories like that anything from criminal to non-criminal and i have to send them excuse me to my producer then we kind of decide what we're doing and then either we send me to clovis blah blah blah or whatever but on my own time like the other night there was a murder and the stabbing i own the travis county news network which supplies news to the krqe uh part of our deal that we have so krqe doesn't directly pay me to go out at 2am but they'll pay me the next day when i do the story on it you get me so at 2am i leave my house on my own time through my own business to go report the story and return i will record this scene for the most part you guys can't talk to me rpg can't talk to me i got to go through dusty or whoever is delegated to to give me pio information so most time it's just you film the scene go to my office upload to facebook and return home that's how i do the store what do you used to build 4k video camera did you have do you have the camera mounted in your vehicle or is it something you carry there's a gopro that's in the car is it in your vehicle now is that my work so the gopro what do you use to go for gopro is used for dash camera most of the time it's for tornadoes and when i storm chase because as when you're driving you can't film it's pretty [ __ ] difficult i'll put it that way especially zoom and focus and all that so you literally can so like the other day there was the gentleman stole the roswell police car i was in my car with my gopro filming the pursuit as i could so that i can safely drive safely stay within your guys's bounds not break laws but also film without having to do this or stop on the side of the road so the gopro is just a dash cam in the sense for the most part when i go to stories it's not even ever turned on because there's not like uh aiming to film sure okay and then uh talked about a pursuit uh what was the last time that you you filmed the pursuit that one which one was that you said chapes county or yeah the guy stole the suit six i think it was it was a thursday who was the agency that was involved in that all three agencies you guys state uh sheriffs actually four ages you got eddie county where it ended chavez county rpd we've got the vehicle stolen and state police all were involved where did it where did you wind up at in eddy county that's where they finished it can you tell me a little bit about that is your film so like uh the only glass the only angles that i got with the gopro of him uh i pull up to the intersection at summit in summit in maine they fly past north yeah north uh a bunch of other officers pull on through some sheriffs go down summit that way i proceed across the summit that way then i end up on albuquerque i turn north on main about a block and he flies past me head on right around downtown area uh accident even took a little swerve continued by that point he's already at subway ish getting 285 i had to go around either richardson or pennsylvania behind the old sears and then by the time i got on mcgaffey got onto maine got on 285 well like i said earlier this is the engine who's investigating i don't know nothing about it i love that you told me everything that you thought was going on i truly don't know exactly what he wants to talk to you about i appreciate you just writing all those two minutes describing a little bit about what you do and how you do it in your vehicle um i'm sure i uh agent to perez probably has a couple more questions about any of that yeah um so like i said thank you for talking to travis and just to like clarify you more um so you said what lights are on your vehicle so there's amber lights across the vehicle there's two on the ground two up here two on the side windows two on the exterior like 360 perimeter and uh what color are there yellow and white amber and white okay um so for that last pursuit were you using your amber lights negative through the whole pursuit were you i did one time and it was the what is it called the traffic advisor so it's on the very very rear window i had two deputies flying ass behind me on garden i initiated the left arrow stick so they know to go around me because i'm pulling over but they're still it's the only time okay um then you said you talked about deputy padilla and that did you use any recordings for that no that's where i [ __ ] myself okay i wish because because i have it wasn't on but i usually on my vest that i use will have like the gopro slot that i could put it on is that the same gopro used for your dash camera yes sir okay and uh where do you upload this the gopro so to my phone or to the my personal computer at the office okay um that's where your stuff is at the office so so the padilla you weren't filming it right no no because the incident wasn't a wasn't a news in any in any way it was i was returning home and i seen a drunk driver so it was more just a citizen just concerned that's all that that was okay um do you know if you had your gopro on your vest was on the car it was on the car okay cause that's what that's what we talked about i didn't even have my i have a usually a yellow i mean a red velcro crash that says media and it wasn't on my vest so it's usually right there with the gopro so that's how we discussed uh because they were asking what that's for and i think that's why i put my gopro and like you should have filmed this yeah i [ __ ] know this now yeah um then you said the other state officers were recording that during that time no um do you know what you were wearing during that time like when i talked to the office or when you when you talked to the officers and when you were following the guy so i was following the guy i was wearing like basically what i'm wearing now even sandals okay um what about them i just got out the shower so i don't know what i was wearing but same thing basically same thing to go back to officer padilla's incident or deputy's videos incident what were you wearing you said you had a vest on i had my full security uniform on okay which that's yeah um your security uniform what security company is it double legal private security w okay um with that security company were you on duty for that security company at that time no so like i said when i respond to the murders and shootings put on my my not so much like a gear yeah every time i arrive with a pistol and my vest and i usually wear my tactical pants boots so what i do when i get home i roll my boots pants you know pants up with boots firing style yeah uh stabbing happened stepped in the boots pulled up responded to it 30 so minutes later after i left the office i'm returning home i got caught up in that and i'm still wearing the current uniform okay um and you said you have a gun on your hip uh what type of gun is it lock 32 all right and is that your personal or is it issued for that security company okay is that security company is it like an arm security company no we're just very minor like uh so we do like weddings and stuff and we've been kind of trying to get a contract out of the airport okay um with that security company already provided a badge yes and this is your company right and because we have to yes we have to identify ourselves in security um which being a shirt vest badge okay and what does that badge say on it security it just says security this is a security guard security officer um security might say secure security agent or officer oh where's that at it has to be at the office on the belt okay same [ __ ] like yeah so like a lot of your stuff's at your house or not your house your office it's just my vest and the [ __ ] like honestly like the stuff that i respond to these calls with just sitting at the office because when i'm at the office happens i have to respond you just jump on it and then it comes home with me and then it goes back with me like right now it's cause like if i knew you guys wanted to see the vest and see whatever i would have brought it to you because i i'm just the reason i'm talking to you i don't have a lawyer here i didn't step out of this yet and i know in a way i'm gonna criminate myself i currently understand that but i also know that in my full intentions that everything i did was nowhere criminal i didn't try to impersonate an officer period okay it wasn't an intent purity no i understand that it's just no i get what you're saying i get what you're saying it just sucks because like i understand that you're investigating what you have to but it just sucks at this position that i'm in it's not my intent in any sort of way to do what i'm being questioned about you know what i'm saying why would you make the statement i just said i was wearing my belt like in in my personal like so you're wearing something that looks like a police officer is that what you're trying to say it's a security uniform security uniforms can be just across the board and that was when you when you came up to the ewi so you said you turned on the lights as a flasher for the officer you come up and the deputy when you saw the deputy coming up you said you stepped outside the vehicle to fly down the deputies what you had told us where was the guy at that time okay that you said was closing in on your vehicle by that point i want to say he's leaning on the back of this truck or so i don't exactly remember did he say anything to you or did you say anything to him i think i have some of this drinking that's it i have no idea did you tell them to stand by that if you saw she was coming or anything like that sir exactly i don't deputies come in to speak with you i want to say i mean if if you're specifically asking us here's why i'm asking those i wasn't there so i like keeping the picture because you were there right yeah well it's awesome when you said you stepped out and you saw the deputy coming he said you would say at the back end of this vehicle and you said to uh have you been drinking and then you told me i didn't say anything else but then when i asked you did you tell me anything about the officer yeah i told them that they didn't really waste time yeah i want to know everything that you told me that's what i'm asking so it's like literally as far as i know that's all i said because i know like i said i got out the vehicle when the deputy passed um yeah i asked him if he was drinking and then i don't know if he said something to me yeah like something go inside i don't remember and i was like there's a deputy that's going to speak to you and just like hang out right here come and meet you uh deputy padilla showed up that i had six plus deputies there were you still on the phone with them when you just got to them yes sir i was on the phone let's see the problem was i didn't call dispatch on that i called deputy padilla who also was on scene that saw what it was i spoke with her before even following the vehicle was coming up i didn't see uh the only person that i did see was when i saw they passed were you aware that the backlash was drawn on them vehicle so what happens with our units as well as the sheriff's office here where you turn on any of your lighting equipment things are recording so if you're on the phone those statements are being reported as well yeah um do you feel that there there would be anything that you can think of now that might be different when we look at that recording and look at that report than what you're telling us today no i was on the phone with deputy padilla were you on the phone with any of the deputies police department or sheriff's office during that i accident just following pursuit listening to radio did you ever hear anything what did you hear on the radio when you're listening to the person about in reference to like what did you hear it so i heard chaos on the radio i don't know if it was rpd or that's what i heard that was pursuing and through my current knowledge when esl usually locked can you turn this down a little bit here yeah um my knowledge is is like state police russell starts getting involved pursuit's gonna last a little longer uh rpd's not gonna disengage for the public safety i didn't know at the time it was a police car until i actually seen it past me head-on then i realized they were chasing a cop car but uh through the chaos i was just trying to follow streets that they're yelling out but also try to position a little head of his so you can film it because if a car is doing 100 miles an hour there's no way you're going to parallel this thing even at his speed to to film him you know what i'm saying so you have to kind of it's the way i've done these pursuits all the time is if they're on main street or virginia and they're going to that side of town well i may go to garden or atkinson knowing that the vehicle may kind of circle around for the most part i fail every [ __ ] time because the pursuits just never turn out the ultimate angle to get on a pursuit is like a spike strip you know what i'm saying or a pit maneuver but you kind of have to be near or in the area to get those things it's almost impossible to get so uh what i heard was chaos i followed around until i met up with the pursuit on main street and we fought out on 25 now you said you got to get in front of it to get it caught were you passing officers in that pursuit negative how did you get in front of them i never got in front of the hospital i just was like i said and we can even go back and hear it like i said when you're going through these pursuits if a vehicle is going at any speed you cannot match his speed on a street next to him to get in front of him or to get an angle of him passing you so i'm not i'm not saying i was speeding or passing officer's period because i know that's i know i know you're either i know i never passed an officer never did nothing illegal didn't run the lights or nothing during the pursuit because my fear was i heard the amount of officers doing this pursuit i don't know who's going where who's doing what i have to be overly cautious in this sense i sat in an intersection that went green three times because i saw an officer and i didn't know if he was coming through the intersection i'm sitting at because the officers have other priorities you know so also with me following these pursuits i have to look out for them as well i'm not trying to rush in certain places even if i have a open at speed limits 50 and i'm doing 50 i still don't want to blatantly rush in there there's other officers coming in there's other things going on and i know these type of things so i don't just rush in there or even if you're on scene i don't i try to distance myself so that you don't feel fearful or that's part of the reason that i have the lights on my vehicle if i pull up on a scene let's say you guys have a scene right here at night and i pull up the vehicle pulls up on you ominously and stops and somebody gets out you don't know who it is but if i turn them yellow lights on and you've come in contact with me one time in the prior good contact or bad you know that that vehicle now belongs to somebody that's not going to at least harm you you know what i'm saying i mean maybe maybe could but that's that's literally the reason that i have those and why they're used on scene is because i don't want in any sort of way to have bad contacts with you guys where you guys have been caught talking to me when i first started this type of stuff uh i used to get try to run off the scenes and i i never impeded a scene i never crossed if you guys park seven cop cars here well in my mentality the last cop cars the beginning of your crime scene so i won't pass that last cop car so i've had used to have a lot of like beefing with rpd and stuff that just they didn't know what i was doing or they thought i was doing bad or i'm filming the victims like there's certain ways i do my stories i can completely i have all right to film whatever i want but if there's an injured person over there i'm not filming them that's that's just me as a human being same with you guys i don't try to film your face i don't try to do none of that now i have the right to but at the same time you guys don't need that extra stuff on top of your job so that's just how i do what i do uh i tiptoe in this as lightly as i can i try to get these relationships with you guys that's why i try to do this documentary with the sheriff's i've been trying to do it with you guys but it's really difficult with insurance and stuff and i've been dealing with captain last name and we've been trying to do it for years same with rpd and the reason i want to do it is not just let the community get to know you guys but i want you guys to know me that in any sort of the sense i'm not trying to do what you guys are investigating me for period uh by me being just as first off by me being on the phone with deputy video calling a dwi driver never leaving the scene and staying there in the uniform i did not expect that that was going to go that way because i didn't expect or or i didn't have in my own mind the mentality that i wasn't personally an officer you you feel me that's that was my what were you wearing on the day of the pursuit this okay so was the the day of the dwi you're wearing security yeah and the only reason that i was in that specific uniform is because at the most an hour before that i responded to a stabbing now when you saw the the vehicle was smashed up windows and stuff and you thought that was a stolen vehicle and you followed that and you came in contact with two state police you said what were you wearing then you asked me before same stuff sandals uh i literally like came into town from stormtroopers something that was really interesting and i don't know which which one it was that you've described to us today if it was the the one with all the the broken window or the dwi or the pursuit well you said you're one of those that um you're you're questioned or or or or cited or reported about being about about what we're talking about yeah can you tell me about that so i was man see this is where it gets [ __ ] stupid because when i was there with the deputies deputy and stuff they cited me for repressing an officer yes okay so i was cited for impersonating an officer which first off surprised the living [ __ ] out of me i did not expect that okay um they said they were going to contact administration because i have contracts with them for doing our filming and stuff i contacted a chief who then contacted up uh just letting them know that i was arrested by the deputies i want to say a couple days later because i'm still freaking the living [ __ ] out that i'm gonna lose my job and i'm getting a person with an officer because that's i i don't care what any of this looks like in any in any other sense that's not the goal is even if i got [ __ ] charged with the [ __ ] it's not my intent that's not it's not what i'm here to do and that's not during each of these stupid little incidents you're asking about that was never the intent period so that's what makes me even more like i just don't like this and i didn't like even being questioned uh so they they called me and they came to the house um no not them that that was stapley sorry uh they initiated the citation um i was talking i talked on the phone a couple times with chief uh then they called me back on a conference call with a judge sheriff in chief and asked me a couple questions and then they said that they're gonna drop the charges because they didn't feel that it was an adequate arrest or something i don't know exactly you remember who the judge was no sir you said chief who's the chief that you're talking about man i don't like throwing people under the bus like this dude like no i just i know but the thing i know i know you're asking and i know i don't know it's like i told you before i i i don't want to know much about this one i understand and the only way i could understand this case i guess again from somebody who was there so looking at just in my personal perspective i've talked to a deputy i'm gonna leave that completely off record whatever i talk and he didn't tell me nothing he's not supposed to uh i don't he's not even involved in period but he told me kind of that he heard through the way that there might be investigations into continuing the way that they handled what they handled in my arrest and my specific arrest it's already kind of had not win but i i felt like there was being investigations done on the background for whatever they did and and it's just like went a totally different way that was i didn't even understand no so like you're telling me that there's investigations being done no about right no something else right now right now is what i'm saying well this is this i have different things i know but i kind of had an assumption or whatever that that other than esso was investigating me for impersonating an officer is what i'm saying okay so here's what here's the only question i asked you and and then and i get it you had told me that they charged you the sheriff's deputy a couple days later charged you you said arrested did they physically no it was a it was an arrest citation so it was a citation okay into into they released me to let me drive home a chief and a judge called you chief deputy charles easles with the sheriff's department called me okay so you guys had a hearing that day is that what it was no well if you want to call a phone call a hearing well i mean it's kobe 19. i'm sure that's how we yeah that's how we do court then maybe that's why i'm trying to ask so i don't i don't know so you basically had a hearing described your described what took place and then he dismissed it from there don't know exactly what makes sense to me that's what a judge can do right dismiss the chart you don't remember what judging was no sir um you said the sheriff is it the sheriff or a deputy uh the sheriff the sheriff harrington sweetheart why are you guys gonna do that man i know no but i'm gonna give you i'm gonna give you the apartment never have a chief that's what they're called they're called nothing there's no evidence like it's just honestly i don't like giving people's names because i don't i don't know if you're investigating chief or sure for doing any wrongdoing i don't know if that was wrong or anything they didn't know about what i understand but but i could be potentially a witness in that and i don't i just honestly don't like if they're being invested for what they did they did but at the same time i'm being investigated for something so what do they do i don't know okay i'm not saying they did anything in my opinion i didn't know that you were at i took it a wrong way the way that you were asking it because you were asking a specific name uh i just know i didn't know like i just kind of like got defensive on asking if it was uh anytime we do any type of investigation on an allegation allegations different than charge right sir i was flat out honest with you when i came here and i'm still honest with you you haven't been charged for anything so but when an allegation is made to us we have to look into it to see if it's if it's founded or it's not so it could go either which way in order for us to do a thorough investigation and a fair investigation for everybody including yourself is to know everything so when i ask you what do you mean or who chief or what judge or whatever all it is is verifying your story so i'm going to go and ask them hey dude did this happen yeah sure yeah this is what happened okay cool it wasn't he wasn't lying to us right so those are the questions i'm asking that's why i'm asking you i'm not trying to i don't know what conspiracy there you think is going on here it's just like honestly i'm sitting in a police vehicle talking to take dops over some potential charges that can make me lose my life basically like i you know you know you could just understand the on it's like so you didn't remember who the judge was no sort of verified no sorry okay like i just gave you the other channel they just call your number directly or you called them they called my number they called you and how many days after this i have no idea within the week i would say because i never the way it was dismissed i never had to make an appearance and when when they called you who spoke to you first don't know either either harrington or deputy jesus so deputy jesus and harrington those who were on the phone call so there wasn't a judge on the phone that i told you all three were on the phone called like okay i don't know where the third one whoever spoke to me before yeah in that sense they said there was three in the room a judge harrington and eslis were on the phone with me all right unlike the little and then what it what what did they ask you i don't know if they asked me anything or they did they i think they asked me to talk to honestly i don't remember what was on a phone call we we may have talked about the arrests we may not have um what was the purpose of calling it the purpose of the call was to tell me i'm not being charged i don't know if we discussed anything or anything like that so how do they tell you're not going to be charged see i don't know if they said it's dismissed or i don't i don't know specifics i don't want to put no words in nobody's not because i don't know specifically how i was told and i don't i don't even know the three who but you're telling me for a fact you were charged by a written citation sir and then you got a phone call by by four individuals they told you three individuals were on the other hand i was the fourth the fourth uh three individuals and they told you that your the charges are dismissed or you're not being charged with it anymore or found not guilty or when somebody tells me that you're not being charged you're off for any sort of the sense i immediately i'm just like yes thank you and i blocked out not blocked out but like once you hear what you're waiting to hear in the sense like right now i'm i'm honestly waiting for you guys to tell me in a couple days that this isn't going to go any further that i'm not getting charged i'm not going to jail i'm not losing my job but until then i won't be able to know that but it but what it was was is that's what was there so did you call mr harrington before he called you yeah called him earlier in that week what did you tell him that i was arrested okay that i can no longer i don't i know i told him that uh i can't do the ride-alongs or film the documentary for some time or something because of the arrest and then i don't know what he said we talked for a little bit and maybe he says look to it i don't know specifically like i said this is about a month or so even did you look into it no okay no and and actually when i think when i talk to the judge i even spoke to them and told them my side where it was i was on the phone with deputy padilla through the entire first half like the entire thing until they got there pretty much so if you're if you're charged with uh what was the charge of the charges in person being an impersonating officer that would be a magistrate court offense here in and it happened here in roswell so it would have been one of the laws judges do you know where the judge is here you don't know any of their names do you know the judges here casey rogers and e.j ferrat are the magistrate judges those any of those names sound yeah i know casey rogers but i don't believe that was good on that phone because i used to work in jail so it could be an ej frat could have been anybody like i'm telling you i don't know who was on the phone i do not know the judge that was there i just but they identified themselves i believe so again and like through the courses like i'm telling you i i i you even asked you're a person you you're worried about incriminating yourself i told you everything that i know and everything that i've done including to everything that i can remember i've only asked you questions that you've made i know what i'm saying is that statement i ask you i know and what i'm saying is is everything that i've told you so far is everything i know i'm not hiding nothing i'm not trying to hide nothing i arrived here i sat in your car i'm still sitting in this car i have yet to leave and then you know i know that i know that the thing is is i don't want to be [ __ ] charged with this you know what i'm saying like i'll stay here until it's dark but i know that's not going to change certain things you already told my car and you took certain things from my house don't know what uh but what it comes down to is my goal here and any sort of this thing is i don't want to be [ __ ] charged with this i didn't copy that citation i have no idea i'm probably not like did they give you a copy of the citation that night yes they arrested me they gave me the copy as in every person that was there on scene assumed they arrested me and i was gonna have to appear in court that's how everything was done flawlessly where i was even shocked because i was on the phone with the goddamn deputy and i assumed did you were you ever asked to give that citation to anybody else that copy negative that citation never left my possession okay it it would have been thrown away or it's still in that house if you got it all three of those incidents that we talked about today were they ever captured with any of your recording devices three incidences you said yeah you want three you talked about the so only one the first one only one incident would be the pursuit and that story is on youtube for krqe okay and everybody in their mama to see well the reason why i said this because um i wanted to see your side of me if you had the if you had the dwi one i would love to i wish i would have had it on my goddamn best like but i know where i was wrong and i know immediately after i dealt with esso that one time so it was a couple weeks later you said you know where you're wrong where do you think you were wrong i shouldn't get out the [ __ ] car i shouldn't have stopped i shouldn't have [ __ ] talked to the dude i should have just drove home i should have let him wreck in and kill his kids he had two kids in the backseat drunk as [ __ ] they even told me they're like uh they were mad at me telling me that they're arresting me for impersonating an officer and then i was like did i blow it and they're like yeah he's clearly drunk like they let him go they let him go drinking and driving but then they give me an arrest citation for a personality officer i was very pissed because the dude had kids in the car and could have killed somebody i could have returned here and i could have heard ten minutes later that there was a 10 45 right at the end of the street and i've known that i could have potentially prevented it it's the only reason i followed him it's the only reason i did what i did now like i said i know where i made a couple mistakes during that that put me and the reason they gave me that citation that never happened again ever and when i when the next time when state police contacted me there was even a billion things less happened in that case because i already knew what just happened a weekend or so prior like it was basically the first thing happened extreme learning don't [ __ ] wear your best make sure your plates are make sure your media tags are on there make sure you're filming make sure you don't use your lights don't use your [ __ ] horn don't use this don't use that don't wear your [ __ ] belt make sure if you do put your belt on that doesn't have your belt your badge and your blah blah whatever everything was a learning experience everything was what it was and every not every time the two [ __ ] incidents that happened everything excuse my language sorry like this is just a very heated thing and like this isn't something frustration you're not no and it's just like i know i already knew why you guys were here i knew what i'm being investigated for and i know in a sense the way the law works it's just on perception it doesn't [ __ ] matter what you say do period it's their perception of you you can be considered impersonating officer just by standing there uh i i've after i got that first initial citation i did all the reading i could everything i knew went back into to triple check that my lights were good that i was following the laws because i promise you i don't want to be a [ __ ] criminal i don't want to be in your car i don't want to talk to you from this side basically i want to see you you shake my hand and and talk about the good story or whatever i never ever imagined ever having a search warrant executed on my house my personal house or my parents house you know i don't have a personal house but i just met even as a grown adult i never imagined having police officers served a search warrant on my house and i definitely never expected to be arrested for a personal officer and in my full mentality and everything i had and everything i'm thinking at both of those times i did not criminally intent or anything thought i was impressing an officer i do i'll put up i look back on now i know where i was [ __ ] wrong you know like i know where it can potentially be and why they gave me that citation i know what it was and i know how to never ever get in that situation again but the problem is now i'm still having to drag this around and i'm still having to deal with this and this is this [ __ ] well this takes care of it you know what i mean like i know you're saying you're chugging around but this takes care of it because you know part of as you know part of our job is what to gather the facts right so people think we're just we're doing the investigation but that doesn't make us like think you're we're not assuming you're guilty or anything we have to get the facts right but so we're a lot of our job is to clear your name as well you know what i mean like people don't view it as that but a lot of it is i i really hope does that make sense yeah i really hope this investigation helps clear my name but it's just you told my car uh you took something from my house uh i know the only two things that i had in there was a jar of marijuana that i grew during my medical marijuana card which was last year so did you take that can you tell me that you took that no it's just sitting in a drawer what did you take can you tell me yeah yeah it's it's on there it's a gopro oh your mom has it oh okay uh gopro and a computer i'll put it that way the gopro you got doesn't even [ __ ] work you must have the one that came from a drawer yeah that's a gopro three or something computer yes there's a laptop underneath it where's the ones that work inside my office that's right i'll give them to you like you don't even gotta honestly if you can i'll promise you i'll just give straight to you because if you to get into that building and to get that [ __ ] computer you have to file search warrant and i do not that's kara kiwi's building that's my boss's building i do not don't i don't like somehow while i'm standing out here talking to your your officers my boss called me and told me that they're safely serving a certain word on your house that somebody called and told him that so that had been your mom my mom would not call because my mom mom said she called you yeah she called me my mom would not call my boss to potentially risk my job so i'm just that's fine i'm just meaning my boss already already knows about you serving a search warrant i don't need any further negative stuff hitting me with my job you know like well i think i understand everything that you've told me um so agent kai might have no i think you know you've been 100 percent cooperative this but like i said part of our jobs include your name you know i think we're gonna have to go like friends like download your hard drive yeah um that way like i said a lot of our job is a clear name and get the whole facts together before we do anything right so i think we do need to get that laptop and like you said you said it's harder to do like you don't want us you're willing to give us a laptop to forensically download it yeah um since you have more um experience than me on that would sergeant hernandez have to come to roswell tomorrow and download it for a laptop i know for phones it's easy to go for a laptop yeah it doesn't doesn't have a desk it's all built into the screen but it's just a touchscreen computer but that's where it's the only video [ __ ] software stuff that i have um what do you think agent travis because he said you downloaded gopro to your phone yeah but it doesn't go to your phone you're able to view through like live but then you have to go plug into the computer because okay so i have apple and if i had my mac which was normally running perfectly fine my buddy crashed it ran over it with his truck [ __ ] so what you can do with an apple is you can airdrop something within like half a second like pictures straight to your phone so what i normally do with the laptop stand that i have there my mac sits right there i plug my memory card in directly to my mac throw it on to the photos within the computer and you airdrop it within 20 seconds or so directly to your phone edit it on your phone and post through facebook on the phone but now my mac's broke so i have to plug my card into the computer go through itunes then plug this into the computer and then transfer from itunes to here have you transferred this stuff to there no what stuff where you just told me yeah i've transferred stories so you want to see news stories so you go through imovie which it has to transfer where's an imovie that you have to transfer it through right so here's all the news stories that i've done in in since back what date is this this is a february 20th okay so any news stories anything that's recorded is right here but it has to so here pursuit show you right here [Music] fight see the gopro but this is from gopro right like you had to do it from the laptop to this you have to go from the gopro pop the memory card out plug it in the computer transfer it through itunes then bring it onto here there's all that stuff still on that memory card you have the gopro that's the broken gopro right now the one in my car oh okay it's on the back when you transfer it just to you or base the memory card and put a fresh one in uh uh i put the same memory card but it just depends on how much memory is on the card i like to leave as much video as i can because a lot of times there's like storm videos and stuff that i can go back so sometimes it gets deleted and sometimes it's left that gopro probably hasn't been turned on in a while so everything's probably still on there and then like the boy it's like hard docked you said that computers at your office yeah and this is just from my experience um so i obviously like i gotta clear your name right i gotta do my investigation um and it's faster if like you said like you could just give it to us instead of doing a search warrant um that way we i can't promise you you get back tomorrow but like we probably could get somebody here within like okay let's put this way i need that computer to record my voice tomorrow for the story if i can transfer it to you like a four o'clock you can have it all weekend until but it's the thing is i that's what records my new story for the audio there's not no other way you could record your audio you can't get a digital recorder to do with your audio that won't go put like i can't put that into the computer you can't take off the memory card and put it in the computer oh i probably could well yeah maybe i mean you guys can come and pick up the computer whenever i'll [ __ ] deal with what i got to do with because in in my case i'm trying to clear my [ __ ] name yeah that's why i'm willing to just give it to you because i like i said i know where i kind of teetered the edge and went too [ __ ] far but i also know what i wasn't doing and and i should at first i shouldn't be sitting in a car i shouldn't be getting to talk to you so that's why across the board i want to help clear my name i want i want to be able to live a free life and not have to worry about being arrested next week do you did you need a break i need to [ __ ] quit i need i need to no it's not i need a break from talking to you guys just like if you need anything more just keep asking but it's just i also like i said i'll stay here forever that i need to to [ __ ] make sure that i help clear my name because i just i don't i don't like going the possibility of just walking inside knowing that i'm still potentially facing an arrest warrant all right so like i said like the faster we can get the stuff the faster you get it back right if you're able to provide us passwords why not we're able to give it back to you that much faster because we have us we have people that download it and they can come bring that computer stuff and download it for you and give it back to us if you don't give it to us they went to send it off that's usually takes months yeah but if you give those passwords and it's easy we just download it it takes it like an hour to download you know what i mean and then we'll give it to you um so this is also the thing okay so part of that search warrant was your phone for audio or audio and videos like the gopro we asked for hard drives that stored video and data that's all we're looking for is video and data that's all we're looking for okay we're not looking for your messages we have part of that warrant we parted the new electronic act yeah we had to specifically ask for text messages and why not yeah we don't we don't have that so i'm gonna ask for your phone right now i cannot [ __ ] give you my phone like this is the only way i can work it's part of the search warrant i know i get that uh [ __ ] there's nobody that can transfer this [ __ ] like immediately what do you need i need the phone like i need a functionality of a phone nothing to do with anything else on here or memory or nothing i need the functionality of my cell phone like what cause i have work tomorrow i have to email phone contact all my work i don't have everything's here you don't have your laptop another laptop the ipad i don't have nothing this is what because i'm the only reporter down here oh they have it but there is a copy of the that's the one for the vehicle but they have the one for the cell phone all right and i can make a phone call right now and ask how soon that guy could be here tomorrow to download it for us i think there's another one we'll make it work for you because i i need it asap like [ __ ] man what the [ __ ] like i thought this was going well and it's just immediately revoked that doesn't mean it's going bad that does not need to go in better right i know but it's just like it's not even like bad it's just more like now i just have more stress on me because you don't think you can't use your mouth for a little bit no uh the only way i have access to work day is through this cell phone is what work day what's work day it's the way i log in the way i talk to my boss is the way i work we all do through workday this is the only access i have and you can't download it on your mobile phone no why can't you download that app on your mobile it's a lot like it's a secure next star media news [ __ ] thing right they had the [ __ ] they had to download it to your phone yeah they had to log in and free up the do you have it on your mac the max broke max my personal computer well you don't have you don't have any other way workday is not on my script writing computer like i said we give it back so we can work on it as soon as possible you know what i mean yeah but that's where that's the problem that i run into is first i need to even call my boss tell them what what's going on no well yeah well i know i know well everything like that you know what i mean unfortunately i can't be a hundred percent like yeah yeah yeah yeah but like okay so like you already said uh uh something going to find out if it's deleted or whatever the [ __ ] if we just get like we have to foreign i know but i know that you guys can also tell if shit's been downloaded or deleted or downloaded or whatever yeah you can't let me keep my [ __ ] phone to work with because you'll still be able to know if anything's been taken off of the phone yes and no because people could destroy their phone so see i let you take your phone people you could just burn in the fire yeah i can't do anything about that i understand that but it's also i'm not just anybody i i know i know you kind of can't [ __ ] do that but at the same time yeah i have to treat everybody like i get that regular thing i have to give you the phone if it's in the [ __ ] warrant but at the same time i can't you know what i mean yeah we'll let you call your boss we'll let you do anything what the [ __ ] man are you kidding me are you kidding me no that's stupid like yeah it's part of the deal it's just part of it so that was cool so can i take my sims card out no the way it's intact has to stay you sure you can't call nobody because that's that's the way i can get my service because i can't do anything with so uh did you get it what's the password to your phone okay so hold on i'm still trying to figure out i'll give you the password it's not a problem the thing is is this is my work cell phone first off they pay the 60 bucks a month for the bill but it's not about the bill what i mean is for me to access and work from where i'm at right here in roswell i have to have this cell phone i have to have this work day uh uh and like i was telling him like i'm fully cooperative whatever you take whatever you want whatever you need i need my cell phone to work though like i said the faster you you give it to the fact like we can make arrangements give it to you tomorrow you can't guarantee to have it to me by by early in the morning the only way i can contact one step out again does sergeant hernandez work tomorrow huh this sergeant hernandez worked tomorrow sergeant hernandez does he work tomorrow no no okay so here's the deal go and set the phone down right here yeah i know about the lord it's not nothing about that it's what i'm telling you right here we're going to try as hard as we can to get it back to you as quick as we can but what i'm trying to tell you right now is we have a court order for that phone i understand i understand your work concern i really do i understand that um but we're gonna take the phone and we're gonna upload it we're gonna try to speed up as quick as so we're going to call call hernandez and everything else to get it done if not we'll get somebody here hopefully do it will you take this then because i have to notify people that they won't be able to notify them like i have to let my boss know i have to let a bunch of people know that i'm [ __ ] do you have the phone numbers i'm going to call them right here okay [Music] they okay a gopro from my room and they wanted to take my cell phone um well not one they have it in a certain way to check my cell phone but i wanted to make sure to call it notify you uh i also want to know my phone will be taken right now just because all his film is normally done on a gopro and a and he doesn't erase
