Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
I've been with the Glendale Police Department for about six years.
I was in the corporate world before that for about 15 years.
I just wasn't getting out of the corporate world what I wanted.
So I thought, "Let's go try to be a police officer and see if I can make a difference
and meet different people, different situations.
Solve issues, solve problems."
- It's the best job ever. - Car 55-David...
We're going to a shoplifting in progress.
We've got a white male about 30 years old concealing a bunch of items.
We've got the loss-prevention officers for that store
kind of keeping an eye on him until we get there.
It's gonna be a white male wearing a black shirt and jeans.
We got a motor officer here as well that was listening to it.
I think you can just cruise the parking lot
and come towards my vehicle.
355-David, I'm going 23 to the store.
Let's see if he comes out this way.
I don't know what they've got yet still, so...
They've got this door and that door that they can come out.
So you want to go in and see what they've got
and communicate with me which door they're going to?
Okay.
Hopefully he'll come up right here, bro.
Loss prevention's still got their eye on him.
He's probably looking around, stall,
and figure out which door he's gonna come out of.
Right now we're just waiting to see
- if he'll come out. - He's heading out the west doors.
Heading out the west side? Copy that, we're here.
Radio, can I get his description again please?
10-4, concealment.
Description again. Black shirt, bald head.
Got me.
- Roll over, roll over. - Roll over.
Don't try it. Put your hand out.
Get your hand out.
Just relax.
Stand up.
- You need any medical attention? - Naw.
You good? Okay. Well, when you charge me, guess what?
- I didn't even know you were-- - That's what happens.
I know you didn't. That's the element of surprise.
Spread your feet.
Got anything else?
Hmm?
Spread your feet. Spread your feet.
Spread. There you go.
What's your date of birth?
- What's your date of birth? - 1981.
- Nothing else? - Oi.
Huh. What we've got here
is a white male that we stopped for shoplifting
as he was exiting the store. Upon searching him we found
a pair of shorts stuffed in the front of his pants
and then two fragrances that he put inside of his socks.
- Anything else? - No.
- What's your name? - Derek.
Come on over here please.
- Have you ever been arrested? - Yeah.
Okay. Come over here real quick. I'm going to pat you down
one more time before you get into the car, okay? Spread your feet.
Derek, is this for real?
- Oh, that's my mother. - Is that your mom?
I mean, Derek, I mean is this for real that you would do--
I'll give you a second to come over and talk to him, okay?
Give me just a few minutes. Turn and face me. We'll talk.
- Did you come here with your mom? - Yeah.
Okay. So she didn't know what you were doing inside there?
- No. - Okay, why were you doing that inside there?
- Um, recreation. - Recreation?
- A little bit. - Okay.
You've been arrested before though, right?
- 2009. - 2009. What'd you get arrested for?
- For assault. - Did you do any time?
- Three years. - So what are you trying to do now?
Just maintain a stable life, take care of my kids.
Yeah? How many kids do you have?
- Two. - Two? How old are they?
Um, five
and just about two.
Do they live with you?
- Yeah, off and on. - Okay.
Well, just try to set a better example for your kids, okay?
You don't want your kids to go down the same path you do, do you?
No sir. It won't happen again.
Okay, I believe you.
Okay. All right, let's get you into the car, okay?
You're gonna put your mom through this for gym shorts and cologne?
- You want to talk to your mom? - Yeah.
All right. Come and have a seat, bud.
Mom, he'd like to talk to you, if you'd like to.
I mean, knowing better-- you know--
I mean, were you-- you-- I mean--
were you really in dire need of them?
I mean, really?
No.
You get a check. You couldn't pay for them?
- Don't you learn? - I apologize.
I mean I just don't understand.
- I mean, for real. - Okay. Were you in the store with him?
You did not know what he was doing?
No, I walked in to make my exchanges.
He said, "Well, I'm gonna go to the restroom."
I come back out, he's nowhere to be found.
And I'm show-- getting my information out,
my license and all that. And the guy says,
"I think they caught somebody." And I'm like, "Well, I know it can't be him.
He's not gonna be that stupid to come in here and--"
You know what I'm saying? And especially with me!
Don't do that shit with me.
- Right. - You know what I'm saying?
And, you know, and I started driving around and everything.
I was thinking, "Well, that's an awful long time for him to be gone."
Oh, so you actually exited the store and then came back?
I exited the store and I'm thinking, "Well,
I wasn't in there that long." I mean if he wanted something that bad...
- Yeah, he tried to run out. - ...I could've got it for him.
- He tried to run out. - I mean, he gets a check every month.
If he needs it that bad, I mean, you know, buy it!
- Mm-hmm. No. - I mean, I just don't understand this--
the logic-- this-- the mentality for this.
- To do this with me. - In the heat of the moment,
sometimes the logic goes out.
He understands he did something wrong today.
But I mean, for what? Was it worth it?
- You know better. - I'm sorry.
You know, "Sorry" are just words, son.
I mean, you're how old? I didn't think you would do this
with me. I'm very very disappointed in you.
You know what? I'm done.
At this point he's gonna go down to Glendale City Jail.
He'll get booked in there for the shoplifting counts.
We'll let him know to give you a call to let you know he's doing okay.
Yeah, I've been playing music since I was three.
I started on piano. I picked up several different instruments
throughout the years. And it's one of my most favorite hobbies to do.
It's a big stress relief. I can just sit down and play
and get lost in the music.
All right, we've got an armed robbery in progress.
Caller advised that somebody pulled out a gun
and took her things.
Check the Shell station at Charmaine. The next one.
132, I'm 9-10. The cracker barrel on Charmaine.
Sir!
Sir, somebody's just robbed Sara right there.

- They went this way, sir. - They went south on...
Sir, we even tried to drive off behind them.
In a vehicle. What kind of vehicle?
A white-- Some kind of-- They have it on camera.
- They have the surveillance. - It's a white-- Is it a SUV?
It's a white-- Like a SUV, some similar to this one.
- It's a white SUV. - It's like a Ford-- maybe Explorer.
It looked like it had some rims on it.
Dude, I know--
See, if you guys ride up-- you guys will catch him.
- And it was on the throughway? - It was right here.
- They left on the throughway? - He left, he went straight down here.
- What was taken? Money? - Money-- money out of my hand.
- That's it? - Yes.
See all these guys that are passing and stuff?
- You never know who's who, what's what. - Exactly.
Hey, how's it going?
Yeah, if I could see the surveillance
to see if I could find a vehicle description.
- All right, my love. - Hey, y'all can come in.
- Let me lock up my doors. - Lock-- lock-- My purse is in there.
- Okay, this is y'all truck, right? - Mm-hmm.
- Is this the guys here? - That's him, right there.
They ran up on me just like they're doing.
Listen, the guy in the black came out of this truck.
- Mm-hmm. - They had another guy come from over here.
He's the one-- Exactly. He's the one that pulled the gun.
- Him? - This guy did. This guy pulled the gun.
- In the red hat? - With the red hat?
- Wait, there's two males. - The one in the black the one drove off real fast.
You see me? The one making me get in the passenger seat
- pulled the gun on me. - He's the one that hit her with the gun.
- Yes. - You said he struck you with the gun?
He hit the gun on me. You see me moving around 'cause he makes me jump over.
- Let me rewind... - I thought he was about to kidnap me.
For real? That shitface said
- he thought you about to shit off. - Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, calm down.
Where she at? Calm down. Look.
- Now you need to pay attention. You walking to your car. - Yeah.
- You're in your car. - 730, 720?
- This is the first gentleman that rolled up to you. - Uh-huh.
- What he did you? - He didn't do nothing.
He walked up to the car and he's like, "What's up, man?"
I'm like, "Nothing. Look, I'm good, I'm good."
This boy comes up. He's got the gun.
He's got the gun-- Him! - Okay, so they're both out of the white SUV.
- Look, that's the truck! - Yes, I told you that!
- Is that him? - Yeah, that's him!
We made eye contact and he had his gun wrapped up.
And he hit me and he said, "Get the ***** over.
Give me your money." I got right over.
I threw the money on the seat. And I was like, "Look, I don't have nothing."
You know, "This is all I got. Please, just leave me alone."
- He shot out. - Okay.
Hey, the vehicle's going to be a white Explorer
- with a gray bottom. - Gray what?
- Yeah, it is an Explorer. - A gray bottom.
You get a good view of it right here.
Yeah, that's it. It had rims on it. That's it.
- That's it. - What's it looking like
back on your end? We at Grand Street right now.
- 10-4. - Y'all got him?
I need a written statement from y'all, okay?
We'll always have this on camera so if y'all need to come back and pull it.
- Okay, thank you. - You're welcome, baby.
All right, one of our officers located a possible suspect vehicle.
600 block of East Chantal.
- 600 block of East Chantal. - 132 to 433.
All right, one of our officers
located a possible suspect vehicle
for that armed robbery so we're going to go see if we can identify them.
- It looks like it. - It's him?
Oh yeah, that's him. The one in all black wasn't here?
- No. - All right, what happened over there?
- Man, I don't know. You tell me. - You don't know?
Okay, where were you at today?
- At what time? - Keep your feet in.
Keep your legs in the car.
- Okay. - Y'all went to fill up some gas?
- Sir, I was home all-- all-- - About an hour ago?
- Yeah.
And I want you to be honest with me
because pretty much we know what's going on.
So I want to hear what you got to say about it.
We know what happened. We're not gonna ask you questions
that we don't already know the answer to.
Check this out, dude.
We were going to buy something to drink.
And I'm really trying to help my dude.
Like, man, look.
You talking about the other guy that was riding with you?
It's not gonna be your homeboy, it's gonna be you.
I think-- I think dude, like, pulled a gun out.
Okay, you said that's your homeboy's pistol?
- S-so you didn't see anything or what? - I'm not a--
I didn't see it until he left,
until we got to my mama house.
I'm like, "Really, dude?"
- Okay. - But when I came--
when I came to the car-- when I came to her car,
she was so startled.
Wow, she like-- she like practically gave me
what the ***** she had. I'm like, "Man, what's up?"
- You saw the money? - Like, "What's good?" Like, "What's wrong?"
Okay, look, your homeboy's pistol,
- where's it at? - Sir, I don't even know.
Your statement isn't matching up to what I saw.
We have video of the whole incident.
So here's your chance to get your story straight
with the video.
The only thing I asked the lady
was, "Man, what's going on?"
Like, "Are you all right?" Like, "What's up?"
And she was like, "What, man, you want me to move?
Like I'm gonna move. Like what you want?
What you want? I don't have no money."
And she gave me $10. And I'm like, "Really?"
- Like really? - How much did she give you?
So I already know-- I already know what happened.
So I'm-- I'm distraught. Like, so I'm like,
"Man, take me to my mama."
- Okay. - Take me to my mama.
Where you said the money's at?
- Where is it at? - In my pocket.
In your right pocket right now?
Yes, sir, and I'm not lying to you.
- All right, I'm gonna grab that. - For real.
Okay, sit back. Do you have anything else on you?
- No, sir. - Mike, where did you spot the vehicle at?
I turned off from Mud. When he passed,
I was able to see the rest of the vehicle
and it matched the description to the tee
with the rims to the different shade at the bottom,
so forth, older model.
And that's when I called it out.
He's got narcotics charges, kidnapping charge, robbery charge.
- He's a regular with us. - That's definitely him!
- That's him! - That is him.
He knows he's guilty. That is definitely him.
- Positive ID. - Have a seat.
- Put your feet in. - Got a positive ID
- on the suspect? - Yes, sir.
It was easy to identify him
with what he's wearing.
And he's the one with the gun.
Before my career in law enforcement,
I did sales for 10 years.
And the skills I learned from that job,
I use every day in law enforcement,
from interviewing somebody
and just helping de-escalate a situation.
Right now, we're headed to a call.
Currently, uh, it's a child custody issue.
The biological mother's here to retrieve the children.
So we're gonna go try to make this
as peaceful as we can.
We got mom that's here from Florida to pick up the kids.
Grandparents of the father who is in prison now
are in custody of the kids right now.
- Okay. - Mom wants them back
and then take 'em to Florida.
- Okay, let's do it. - Hello, are you Milton?
Milton, mom's here
and she's gonna be taking the kids.
- You understand that right? - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can't any of you be quiet? Diane!
Police out here!
- Hello, how are you? - Hi.
Mom's here. Long story short, mom's here to take the kids.
Mom can't have the kids. I have custody of the kids.
- Do you have documentation for that? - Yes, I do.
Let me see the court documents.
These children don't even know that woman.
Is she here?
She walked out on these children four years ago.
That baby doesn't even know who she is.
Okay, this is just a notary.
Got something from the court?
This isn't from the court.
Okay, so this is what I have for you, okay?
By law, she has custody of the children, legally.
So she is here to take the kids.
That baby right there, he doesn't even who she--
What she-- Who--
The last time he saw her he was 10 months old.
He doesn't even know that woman.
Oh, listen to what he's talking about.
Yeah, I'm letting you know what the law is.
So whatever belongings they have,
- could you grab them? - She can take 'em as is.
She left 'em with nothing. She can take 'em as is.
Put your socks and shoes on.
She's never sent a dime for these children,
not one dime in four ***** years.
Excuse my mouth.
We understand your frustration.
- Come here, Jay. - I don't want to.
- Come here, Jason. - I know you don't want to,
- but what's your name? - We understand your frustration,
and we don't know the whole situation,
but unfortunately that's-- it's the law.
- You don't want to go? - It is hard too,
because the kids are victims here.
- Which one's... - The kids don't know her.
- They're going to be terrified. - I know.
- Jordan... - Six and eight.
- Five, six, and eight? - Do you know your mom?
- Hm-hmm. - Yes, you do know your mom?
- Hm-hmm. - He hasn't seen her--
You're going with mom today, okay?
That baby has not seen her since he was a year old.
- What's your name again? - Daysia.
- Daysia, you're gonna be going with mom today, okay? - Okay.
Now is she your sister or...?
No, she's my--
They are my son's children.
Oh, your son's the one that's in prison now.
- Yes. Come on. - Okay, um...
Come here, baby.
Don't cry.
Come on, Michelle.
- You know I love you, right? - Michelle,
they're supposed to be going to the dentist.
Will you come here? Come here.
Are you guys gonna be civil?
Yeah, I don't have--
- I don't have a problem with her. - Have you ever met the mom?
- Yes, we always-- - Yeah, back in the day?
We were very very close once upon a time.
- What happened with that? - She abandoned my son
- for another man. - Yeah?
When my son was gone,
she left, packed the kids up, brought 'em to me,
said she'd be back in a couple hours
- and never came back. - Wow.
I'm on my way to try to get them to the dentist,
which I guess they're not going to today now, right?
Jordan, you got your stuff together?
No, I want to just take them and go.
- Hello?! How are you? - Hi.
Get your stuff together.
I love my kids.
I need my kids back.
Well, Michelle, how're you gonna take care of them
- going motel to motel? - I don't live in a motel.
- We got a house. - You got a house now?
We got a house. I got a job.
My kids are gonna be well tooken care of.
That you don't have to worry about.
If they were really that cared about,
Clayton would not be sitting in prison right now.
Plain and simple, he is their father.
He should be here with them, not you.
Michelle, I've had these kids
- damn near since they were born. - It doesn't matter.
You're absolutely right.
Can I take my kids?
Can I get their stuff?
I don't want to just stand here.
Well, I don't want to stand here either.
She is ready. He is ready.
I would put them in the car, and then she can
get the other one ready, and we can all go about our day.
- Sound good? Okay. - Yes, sir.
We got another kid?
Yeah, she's putting her shoes on her.
Get them in the car. Get ready while, uh...
She tried to sell this baby.
And if it wouldn't have been for me,
this baby would have been sold
to a family in Pennsylvania,
because she was 8 1/2 months pregnant
smoking crack!
And they were just gonna sell the baby to the lady.
And I told the lady, "Do you want a crack baby?"
And I dumped all their crack shit
out on their counter. The lady says, "Is this true?"
She says, "Yes." She says, "Keep the money we've already given you,"
and walked out the door.
I've had that baby since she was born.
All right.
You guys do have a house, right?
She wants to see a lease,
a lease and proof that you guys have a residence.
Obviously you don't have to do that.
Listen, I don't have to prove-- Right.
I know, you don't have to do that, but--
You know the one-- the one that--
These three, I cry every day 'cause I'm worried.
She calls me. She's all messed up.
She calls my family. My family is in Florida as well.
And she's all messed up.
I love my children. I would never hurt my kids
in any kind of way.
And if I knew they were safe here,
I would've not spent $1900 to come get them.
But they're not safe here. They're not safe here.
And I know that for a fact.
And she's making accusations
that... you're still into the stuff.
Are you still into the stuff?
You can drug test me right now.
- That basically-- - I'm just saying,
- you can drug test me right now. - That's good enough for me.
You drug test me right now, you drug test her
right now, and see who comes out positive.
You mean, she's gonna come up positive?
She probably is. She does crystal meth,
just like Clayton does.
Okay, thank you. How you doing, Jordan?
- Good. - Good?
- All right. - Some of the girls are not coming.
- They're coming, buddy. - All right.
I love you with all my heart, baby.
How do you think the kids will adapt to it?
They'll be fine once I get 'em away from her.
- Okay, okay. - They'll be fine.
And then I promise you it's gonna be okay, okay?
I promise.
Come on.
- Come on. - You ready?
Come on.
You can tell that there's some history there.
And you really can't tell
who the kids would best be with, you know?
You just have to follow the law
and do the job.
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
