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.
My favorite part about being a police officer
would have to be the camaraderie.
It kind of fit in my Marine Corps lifestyle.
Being in the Crime Suppression Unit, you still have those guys--
We learn off of each other.
We're always together. Eating lunch together
and really getting to know the community.
Right now we're going into a certain neighborhood that we're well aware
that there's a lot of narcotics, prostitution and stuff.
It's an extremely high crime area.
We're going to go ahead, pull this vehicle over, see what it's about.
It looks like they just committed a hand to hand.
Driver, driver only, step out with your driver's license.
Driver, step out.
Looks like he's going.
He's going.
All right, it's a Nissan Altima. X-ray Uniform.
We're at 8-6-- I'm sorry.
6-8. X-ray Uniform 68.
We're at Pearl and Amy. Taking a right on Amy.
We are taking a left on Short, towards University.
All right, we're out back--
We're going Celeste. We're on Celeste.
We cut through a yard. We're going back to Madeline.
He's-- he's running.
White shirt, skinny,
black male. He--
Going towards Hellen.
I lost him in some backyards.
Hey, they got a chunky passenger.
Male chunky passenger.
I'm gonna get down at 5-21.
Give me the description again.
It's a skinny black male.
White t-shirt,
black blue-jeans shorts. Short hair.
Go ahead and step out for me, man.
Yes sir. I'm not under arrest, huh, sir?
I'm just gonna detain you right now.
Right now you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you can say will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one--
He's got some flip-flops on with a goatee.
Could that be him?
Stand by. I think he's gonna be missing a--
some flip-flops. He ran out of his little slippers
so this guy is gonna be shoeless.
He could be in this yard right here. There's all kind of places
to hunker down and some sheds to hide in.
- I got no weapons or nothing, sir. - You don't?
- I just got in the car with him. - Okay.
- Where'd he pick you up at? - Where'd he pick me up at?
- Yes. - Down the street by the park.
- I was about to go play basketball. - By the park?
Uh, run that car.
See if it's stolen.
Terrence? That sounds very familiar.
Ever stay at the Super-- at the Motel 6 before?
- No? Okay. - Last night.
Last night? Was it room-- was it room 228?
- Yes sir. - It was!
Huh, that's odd.
- I done left from over there though. - Okay.
Who-- who was driving you around?
- Who was what? - Be honest with me. It'll go a long way.
- Wait, who? - Who was just driving you? Who just ran?
That le-- that little skinny youngster.
- D-Rail. Yes sir. - D-Rail?
- All right, what's his real name? - I don't know his real name.
We had that call out last night at the Motel 6 on University.
The room that we did a search warrant on, room 228.
- Right. - The registered tenant was this guy right here.
And we found a handgun in there with an obliterated serial number.
- So I'm gonna call, Todd. But he... - Okay.
- See if he wants in on it. - So he's just not being totally forthcoming...
- Yeah. Go ahead. - ...with us.
The owner of the car is here.
She advised that she left the car running, they jumped in and took off.
Start her on a statement right now.
Apparently one of the reasons why this guy possibly took off
is we just found out information.
Complainant came forward-- the owner of the vehicle came forward,
said she didn't let anyone use her vehicle.
Apparently some young males jumped into the car
while it was running and stole the vehicle.
You the owner, ma'am?
I'm Corporal Ryder with the Lafayette Police Department.
I went ahead and I saw 'em.
And then I conducted a traffic stop. They ran from me.
Two young guys in the front seat. So you're telling me
- You didn't let anyone-- - No, I didn't let-- No.
- Where did this occur? - I was parked on Joan Street.
- Where you live? - Mm-hmm.
- Okay, do you have a-- - I was to my grandma's house.
Grandmother's house, okay. Do you have your driver's license with you?
Mm-hmm.
And you said you were inside your grandmother's house
- and the car was running? - It was running.
The individual that we just took out of the car, do you know him?
- No. - Are you going to sign a stolen vehicle sheet?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
Uh, I just have to advise you, once you sign,
that, uh, it's-- it's taking a-- You're-- you're taking an oath
that it actually was stolen. If we find out, we do research
and it wasn't stolen, there is a statute to where you'll
will have a felony charge against you, okay?
If we-- So-- Legitimately we need to know the truth.
- Was it actually stolen. - Mm-hmm.
It was? Okay.
Who'd you see get into it?
I didn't see nobody. When I walked outside it was gone.
Okay. All right, just go ahead and fill that out.
Do you have any questions? Okay.
All right, thank you, ma'am.
Well, we found out that, as detectives were talking to the passenger,
that the passenger claimed that the owner is cousins with the driver.
According to that, we can put some charges on her.
Yeah, and she did go ahead
and sign the stolen vehicle report
- that I had her clearly read. - She knows what's going on.
Yeah. There will be charges brought upon her
and now we know who the driver is, we're gonna go ahead and cut a warrant out
for his arrest and get him another day.
We've been dispatched to a guy that attempted to hang himself
in the area of Calvada and Idaho.
So we're going to ATL the area, see if we can find him.
He's left on foot. He's wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans.
This started out as a domestic.
Not physical, so we're gonna try to make contact with him
and find out what's going on.
All units en route, the individual
may have stopped at a house on Idaho
and possibly have gotten a weapon at this time.
All right, we just got an update
that the male that we are looking for
possibly obtained a firearm.
Our description that we were given
is he's thin, 5'7", brown hair.
Dispatch had contacted the phone carrier,
which they were able to ping his phone
and give us a better location.
His cell phone is pinging in the area of Pershing here.
There's a garage door that's open.
That a possible guy matching that description
can worm his way into.
And if I can fit through it, he can fit through it, so.
It's gonna be right up here on the right.
Oh.
Nobody?
He says she should.
- She should be there? - She's not answering.
Yeah, she should be home if the garage door's open.
- She ain't answering. - She's not answering the door.
- Is he the landlord? - Yeah.
I can fit under there.
Do you want me to pull hard on it?
- Want me to pull hard on it? - Yeah, pull hard.
Oh!
We're locked.
- There's no car. - How far away is 20 meters?
Trumble, if you can get under and get it open, I'll cover you.
Pull on the latch, Heather.
That rope that hangs down from the garage-door opener, pull.
- Sheriff's Office! - Pull on that rope.
Pull on the rope. Get us open, get us in.
- Get us in. - Pull on the rope.
- Stephanie, it's the Sheriff's Office. - Does she drive a car?
- No car. - Open the door!
He said she's female and got one child.
Everybody, step back, get ready to go.
- Sheriff's Office! - Sheriff's Office!
- Baby, baby, baby, baby! - Come back here.
My baby! No, I'm not okay.
Is there anybody else in the house with you?
Go ahead, sit on the couch, sweetie. There you go.
Sit on the couch, okay. Are you Stephanie?
Okay, I'm going to explain to you what's going on, okay?
You're not in trouble. We thought you were in trouble.
Okay? Somebody get the front door for me, okay,
- after you guys clear? - Yeah.
- Roger that. - Okay, okay.
Okay, what happened is...
- Are you clear? - ...the subject we're looking for...
All right, back clear, back clear.
...his cellphone had pinged right to here.
Somebody said that you were home. We've been knocking on the door,
trying to get in touch with you, calling you.
- Need paramedics? - No.
Okay.
Where is he?
- Where is he? - He's in my bedroom.
Closet, closet, closet.
He's in the closet?
Okay, they're gonna find him.
- Sheriff's Office, show me your hands. - Get out!
Get out, get out!
Really? Ow! Really, man?
- Yeah, really. - Ow, ow!
Cuffs, cuffs!
- I got cuffs right here. - Okay, I got a hold right here.
- Holding them hostage? - No, I didn't-- What'd you say?
- You're holding them hostage! - No, I wasn't.
That's my cousin, dude.
- Oh my God. - I got my weapon secured. I'll take him out.
- Okay. - Clear!
- All right. - Good.
- Does he actually have a weapon? - Come out.
- We got him, Doug. - She told us that he was...
- You got him? - Yeah, come on, let's go.
...hiding in her closet and wouldn't let-- wouldn't let us answer the door.
- I could see the jeans in the blanket. - Yeah.
- So it was a dead giveaway. - Cool.
- So I think that's Scotty's. - Good job.
A few weeks ago he texted me that he was in my house
and he knew where my medications were and he stole everything.
Michael's usually not a bad guy.
But I mean, we grew up more like brothers and sisters,
- me and him. - So why did he come over today?
He said that him and his wife had a fight.
- Okay. - And that Stephanie said that she was gonna call the cops
and tell them-- tell you guys that he, um...
...had drugs on him and this and that and the other.
But in any way, shape or form did he tell you what to do
- or what you couldn't do? - Yeah.
He told me not to answer the door.
- Okay, when we were at the door, you mean? - Right.
Right. And I said, I said,
"That's a cop knocking, Michael."
Did this have something in it prior to him being here today?
This is the pill bottle we found in the closet above right where he was.
We found this one that's only got one pill left in it.
Was there more than that in there?
Oh my God. Yeah.
- Hey, buddy. - Hey.
Okay, here's the thing. All right?
I need you to tell me exactly what happened today.
- Okay. - Did you try to hang yourself over there?
No, I threw-- I put the belt up there on the thing
and I showed her that I could. 'Cause I said this is-- That we're--
- So you-- the belt I saw in the garage you put there? - Yeah, I put it up there.
I put it up there and I said this is what I could do.
You know? And I said that's the way I feel--
This is what I feel where we're going right now.
And she said, "Well, then I'm gonna call them and tell them what you're doing."
And I said "Don't call them and tell them, because I'm not gonna do it.
I'm just telling you this is how far out-- how bad I feel
as where we've gone right now."
Okay, and then when she told me
that you had a firearm, you did not have a firearm?
- No sir. - You did not go over to that house over there?
I never went to Mikey's house. Never did that.
Never went to Mikey's house over there or did anything.
I walked right past it.
Then you came right over here.
Knocked on her door and she answered.
- Came in and I told her what was going on. - Okay.
And... you guys knocked on the door and she goes, "What do we do?"
I said, "I don't know. I really don't want to deal with them."
"I'd like to go up there and talk to them myself after it's all cleared out."
- And... - Do you think it would've been easier if you'd just come out?
Oh yeah! I should've probably come talk to you guys from the get.
- I know, I know what you're saying. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You didn't take any of those pills. - No sir.
You're being straight up with me right now.
- Honest to God. - Okay. All right.
All right, so the medic should come check you out in just a few minutes.
- All right. - All right, just have a seat right here.
- No problem. - All right.
So we're just gonna charge him with burglary and--?
- Imprisonment. - Imprisonment.
False imprisonment and then we'll-- we'll tag him with the pills too.
Because I'm positive that he took those seven pills.
We'll get him to the hospital and we'll call it a wrap.
- Everybody did a good job. - Good job, guys.
Um, I grew up in Santiago, Chile.
I moved to the United States ten years ago.
When I moved to the United States, I didn't know any English.
So I taught myself English. It was very hard
but it was something that I accomplished and I'm very proud of.
Six years ago I made the decision to become a deputy
with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department.
Which has been the best experience of my life.
We're being dispatched to a domestic violence call,
uh, between mother and son.
It has apparently now turned physical
so we're gonna be en route and see if we can find out what's going on.
That's negative.
All units, Code One.
Where's your son at?
- What's his name? - Dennis.
Any mental conditions I need to know?
- Yes. - What does he have?
I think he needs to be diagnosed.
- He's never been diagnosed. - Are you Dennis?
- No. - Dennis, come here.
- Come here. - Yes, that's Dennis.
That's my brother, he assaulted my mother.
- What? - Give me your-- give me your hand.
You know, I'm gonna sue you.
- You faggot. - I told you to stop, you obey my commands.
Do you understand that?
I'm not doing nothing.
Do you have any weapons or anything I need to know about?
No, I don't.
Why didn't you stop when I called you
and I told you to stop?
- Stand up. - I can't.
I can't move myself.
- Stand up. - You got me in a hole.
Two 22, this is one detained.
I think you should take him. He better be evaluated
because he's had mental issues since kindergarten.
Okay, what's your name?
- Thank you, mom. - My name is Doreen.
- I'm his mother. - She don't like me.
- Did you hit her? - I wanted to but I didn't.
Okay, Dennis, do you have any type of mental condition?
- No, I don't. - Any type of medical condition I need to know?
No, the medical condition now is, um...
Kidn-- kidney.
You have a kidney condition?
Yeah. My brother tried hitting me, too.
- Do you mind taking him to your car? - Absolutely.
Dennis, this deputy is gonna take you, okay?
I'll take 'em all.
That guy right there, in the blue shirt,
he hit me in the head.
- Thank you. - I love you.
- Oh, ***** you. - I love you.
- I wanna do suicide by cops. - Stop it!
- Stop, right now. - I wanna do a suicide by cop.
Stop, right now.
- Sir... - I want-- I want you to kill me.
Sir.
Kill me.
I know you wanna kill me, right?
- No, I do not. - Yeah, you do.
- Walk this way. - You said, "I wanna kill you."
- Nobody said they were going to kill you. - You said you were.
- Wait, I think he already left... - Have a seat.
- I got proof. - People have left the area, but now--
Why did you tell me you wanted to commit suicide by cops, sir?
- 'Cause I wanna die. - 'Cause you wanna die?
- Yeah. - Did you try to kill yourself today?
- Yeah, I did. - How did you try to kill yourself?
Uh, choking myself.
You tried to choke yourself? With what?
Yeah... My own fist.
- Your own fist? - Yeah.
What type of medications do you-- are you on right now, sir?
I'm on, uh, Lasix.
- Um... - Lasix?
Ask my brother. My brother knows all that.
Okay.
I don't want to see my brother go to jail, man.
But you also don't want your mom to be hurt
- by your brother, right? - I don't-- That's what--
I'd rather see my brother go to jail
than see my mom get hit.
Okay, is this the first time that he has...
- put hands on your mom? - This is the first time I've witnessed it.
I've never seen it before in my-- my life.
I've never seen it before in my life between anybody.
How's he-- how's he with you?
Have you guys gotten physical at any point?
Today only. Today was the first time.
He got physical with you because you were defending your mom?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, did he punch you in the head or anything?
Yeah, he was-- He dropped me on the ground
and he started punching me on the face.
Is that why you have-- You're all dirty on the back?
Yeah, he hit me-- he hit me maybe twice.
- But it wasn't much. - Do you need any type of medical attention?
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
Do you want me to call an ambulance or a paramedic or anything to check on you?
No, I'm fine. I just-- I just want to know
that my brother's...
It's okay, he's gonna be all right.
Is it okay if we go talk to your mom?
Yeah.
Doreen, can you tell us what happened today?
Well, he'd been drinking, heavily.
And he's had bleeding problems in the past.
I don't know if he's got ulcers.
And he's had mental problems, they told me in kindergarten.
- And they've had him in Special Ed. - Uh-huh.
- But today-- - And what happened today?
What happened today is...
my other son had brought home some dip and chips
and he said I could have some.
And so I tried to serve it to him
and he got mad and threw it on the table
'cause he was drunk.
And he comes by me and socks me in the ear.
Then my other son tried to spray him with a water hose
- to get him away from me. - Mm-hmm.
And he started fighting with him.
He threw him on the ground and started punching him, too.
Did he punch you once or more than once?
Once, right here.
He reminds me of his father.
His father used to do this, too.
My other son, he can drink but he don't bother nobody.
He goes to sleep and shuts up.
Okay, thank you, ma'am.
They didn't try to give me no chips and salsa.
And you got upset over it?
'Cause my brother, he likes to talk
a lot of shit bout me.
He says I'm no good and all that.
- To you or to your mom? - To me and my mom.
Okay.
- Okay. - My mom started telling me, "Oh, you're like your father.
You're an alcoholic," and all that.
I'm just pissed off at my mom and my brother.
This is what's going on, Dennis.
You have to understand that they love you.
They're trying to help you out, regardless of the fact
that you're sitting in the back of a--
- I'm not somebody... - Shh, li-li-listen to me.
- ...that's gonna come at you and attack you and stuff, sir. - Dennis, listen to me.
- Yeah. - They're still your family.
It's your mom and your brother.
They're trying to help you out.
It doesn't mean that they don't love you.
I don't wanna-- I can't be in this house.
- They're gonna help you. - No, they're not.
Nobody's gonna help me. They're gonna kill me in jail.
Maury knows that.
- I'm not gonna hurt nobody. - Help will come from that.
You don't care about me, do you?
How about-- How about an apology?
- Dennis? - Thanks, mom, for letting me go to jail.
How about, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry, mom, for what I did."
I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, mom and Maury.
But you guys don't wanna help me.
- You guys don't care. - I do wanna help you, man. I love you.
Oh, go on. Go on. They're gonna kill me in jail.
You need help with the anger.
They won't kill you in jail.
Thank you, I don't wanna talk to you guys no more.
Love you, Denny.
You guys did the right thing.
It's not easy to see your son going to jail
but you want help for him, you want help for him.
Sometime helps come by going to jail
and then he can-- get the help that he needs.
