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 think I got into law enforcement,
not because my dad was a cop, 'cause he wasn't.
I think I probably watched too much TV.
Kinda thought it was going to be a lot more like that.
After all these years, I've found that you get a lot more done
talking nicely to people than you ever do making threats.
...speed limit on Second Avenue.
Well, we're on our way to an apartment
where it looks like a couple of people have called in.
- North of 800 block. - Kind of a different way to start our afternoon.
They've called in about someone showing up and demanding
that they act like prostitutes for them.
It should be interesting.
Here we go.
Let's go see what we can see.
- Hi, buddy. - Hey, sir, how you doing?
- What can I do for you? - I done called y'all several, several times
on the gentleman that stays right here.
He's-- What you call it? He likes men and he likes women.
- Uh-huh. - Don't nobody wants to deal with him anymore.
- Okay. - So therefore, of course I have company come over,
sit and drink a beer with me and stuff,
but he wants to come in my room. If you can look through to him,
- I had to barricade my door. - Okay.
- If you look right here-- Can I show you? - Sure.
Okay. Let' me show you what he done.
Look right here. See all these dishes and glasses
- and plates and stuff? - Yeah.
He throws dishes. He busts dishes and he just all that.
Did he throw anything at you today?
No, he didn't throw nothing at me today, but he was threatening me.
- Okay. - So I told him to get out of my room.
- Look right here. - Where did he go today?
- Look right here. - Okay.
The officer yesterday I spoke to, I told him I was gonna do this
- and he said okay, do that. - Okay.
I didn't know that he was like that, okay?
- Were you afraid? - I can't go to sleep
because he's threatening me, "I'm gonna do this to you,
- I'm gonna do that to you." - Do what to you, sir?
"If you want, I'll give you some shit if you want to fuck me."
- Okay. - I pay the rent here.
You can ask all the neighbors and whatever.
Can you turn this down for me? Turn that down for me.
Stand still. Turn that down for me.
- What'd I do? I'm not doing anything. - Come here.
I just want to see what's going on. Put your hands down behind your back for a second.
- You're not gonna handcuff me, are you? - I wanna make sure
- you don't have any weapons on you that'll hurt me. - I don't have weapons on me.
- I can still make sure. - He got a knife sitting right over there.
Let me make sure. Let me make sure.
Okay? No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that.
- You gonna handcuff me? - No, I'm not gonna handcuff you.
Okay? Stop, stop.
Sit down, sit down.
- Sit down. - It's my apartment!
- You need to put your hands behind your back. - No, I'm not!
You're gonna get Maced.
- You're gonna get Maced. - Yeah.
- Do you wanna get Maced? - No.
Then put your hands behind your back.
Do you understand? You need to put your hands behind your back
or you're gonna get Maced.
- Do you wanna put your hands behind your back? - Yeah.
Stand up, stand up.
Turn around. Turn around.
- Wait a minute. - Turn around.
Put your hands behind your back. Put the hands behind your back.
Don't be so ****** rough.
Put your hands behind your back.
- You don't get to fight the law. - I can't believe this.
10, I got him. We're done.
- It's my house, not yours. - I pay rent here too.
- This is my apartment! - Let's go out to the car.
- Well, you pushed me. - I pulled you up and wanted to check you for weapons.
- I don't got none. - You had a knife sitting right next to you.
- Yeah, but it ain't my weapon. - But you had a knife sitting right next to you.
No! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's a safety thing. Come on. - No!
- Come on. Come on. - No. Bullshit!
You prick! I'll get you back, asshole!
- You can't yell threats like that. - I pay the rent!
- Sit down. - Oh, watch your fucking...
Can you calm down for me?
Fuck you.
I don't want to see nobody get in jail.
If I don't get him my cigarette, he sits up and throws a tantrum.
If I don't get him beer, he sits up and throws a tantrum.
- Right. - If I don't get him whatever he wants,
he sits up and throws a tantrum.
I just have really had enough of him threatening me,
breaking the dishes, tearing up-- tearing up my--
tearing up my stuff. You know? "Get out,"
calling me all type of verbal names.
And, you know... Fuck this
and this and, "I'm gonna do this" and, "I'm gonna do this."
- Lying to the landlord. - It's my house!
- You hear him right now? - Has he been yelling for two days like that?
Every single-- When he goes to drinking, yeah.
Is he doing anything other than drinking? Is he using any street drugs?
- Yeah, he does meth. He does meth. - Meth?
Has he threatened anybody with that knife?
I don't know, but he threatened he'll fuck
you up and stuff like that. Fuck me up and stuff like that.
Today I said, I'll tell you one thing,
don't come back through the-- excuse my language--
"Don't come back through this damn door.
- If you do, it'll be me and you." - Uh-huh. All right, thank you.
I don't want him here! I stay there, not him.
- Okay. - I paid $550.
If you don't believe me, call Levonne.
I believe you, Daryl. I believe you. I believe that you stay there.
Then throw him outta here. We can't get him outta here.
- Right. - I'm tired of it.
But you...
Daryl, take-- take a breath. Take a breath.
'Cause this'll help you both out. Hey, Daryl,
- do you do any methamphetamine? Are you sure? - No.
- No, I'm sure. - When was the last time you got high?
Last time I got high was today.
- Today? - On beer.
You got high on beer. When was the last time you got high on methamphetamine?
- Um, today. - Today.
Do you smoke it or do you shoot it?
- We smoke it. - You smoke it? Yeah.
But he's the one who gave it to me.
Okay. How much methamphetamine did you use today?
A couple-- a couple puffs, that's it.
- Just a couple pulls? All right. - Yeah.
- But don't go take me to jail. - We might just on one charge, okay?
But we're not gonna-- we're not gonna roust you up on anything big, okay?
- Okay. - All right, buddy.
- Thank you. I love you. - You bet.
- God loves you. - I love you too, Daryl.
- God love us. - God loves us, buddy.
- So you're the landlord for this building. - Yes, I am.
Who did you originally rent it to?
- Just Daryl. The other people just come right in. - Just Daryl.
Okay, who's the other gentleman then in there?
- I have no idea. - That has-- getting mail here and whatnot?
- We don't even know his name. - No, when the police came over here
I wanted to tell them that I never even rented
to none of those people but Daryl.
Okay. Do you know the relationship between all of them?
How does Daryl know that guy?
- He don't even know him. - They all met on the street?
Yeah. They're-- they're-- I got the paper
- where it said I'm just renting to Daryl. - Uh-huh.
And I don't want no family come in here living.
I don't want no homeless people come living.
- And here, this guy's homeless. - Well, I think Daryl let everybody in there,
because I think they've been drinking and smoking that methamphetamine.
- He's afraid of them. - Yeah, but he smoked the meth. Well, we're gonna
solve the problem because we're gonna start getting people out of here.
- But you need to help us. - Okay. I was going to take him and have him...
- to see if he's got AIDS. - Okay. Well, that'll be good.
- He was willing to go. - Sounds good. He'll be all done tomorrow
- and you can help him out then. Okay? - Okay.
- All right, thank you. - Yep.
All right, Daryl, today you're gonna go to jail
for some threats and you're going for the little tussle you and I had, all right?
I don't think you meant to do what you did today.
- I didn't. - I know you didn't.
But I think... Listen, listen.
I think today the methamphetamine got in your way today, okay?
He does the buying. He bought it, not me.
Next time I see you, we're gonna make sure you get all the help you need.
- We're getting this taken care of, okay? - I wanted to go into--
I wanted to go with the Alcoholics Anonymous.
I will make sure you get there when you get out, okay?
Kind of that whole bottom-of-the-barrel thing, right?
We hit rock bottom and then we can go up from there, all right?
I get a lot of exposure to people
that I wouldn't normally deal with or meet in my own personal life.
I've had a bunch of people fight with me and a bunch run.
I don't feel like I have nearly as many
as a lot of other guys in the department.
I think a little bit of it has to do with with the fact
that I counteract any of their behavior
before they actually do something.
The caller has not seen any weapons.
So we're going to check out at a local park.
There's a gentleman there that we had trouble with earlier.
He was threatening people at the park.
The police contacted him earlier, told him to leave.
And it looks like he's back, and he's threatening people again.
He said he had two guns, but we didn't have any issue with that earlier.
And he might be intoxicated or on a controlled substance.
Hello. Did you call us?
- Yes. - Did you talk to the police earlier about him?
Yes. They came out earlier.
He punched his bike, found out that he had a broken hand,
went to the hospital. Um...
Went to the hospital, got it wrapped up.
How long ago did he come back? 10, 15 minutes ago?
Didn't make any threats or anything since he came back?
One of his ex-girlfriends is here and she said, "Leave me alone."
And he keeps messing with her and keeps stalking her and she don't like that.
Hey, it's the police. Come on out here, man.
Naw, you gotta come out here.
You gotta-- walk this way.
- What's your name? - Dustin.
Dustin? Watch your step down here, okay?
All the way over here. Further away from the music
so I can hear you, okay? Too loud up there.
What's going on tonight, man? How come you came back?
These people are having a party
and I came up here and apologized to them--
for what I did to them, threaten them.
Okay, 'cause the officers that were out here earlier
told you not to come back.
- So why'd you come back? - Apologize to them.
- Okay. - And my hand's hurting bad.
- What happened to your arm? - Scooter right there,
I punched it. I broke it.
- And that was from today, right? - Yeah.
- Have you been drinking at all today? - I don't drink.
Okay. On any kind of medications or anything?
They've got you on some stuff for your arm, don't they?
- Yeah. - All right, I can see your eyes are really--
pupils are really dilated, so they've got you on something.
They gave me Tylenol to get rid of this pain.
- Okay. - Hey, Dustin.
- Are you living with your dad? - Yes.
Okay. Does he know where you're at?
He told me to get out of the hospital and then call him.
- I tried calling him. - Why don't you just walk home?
- You're not that far from home. - What I'm gonna do with my scooter?
Well, do you have a chain for it?
I can't leave it up here. I don't got a chain for it.
- No chain? - I can't drive.
I gotcha. I agree, you can't drive.
If you go home, do you think your dad could come up and get your scooter?
I can try calling him. You need to talk to that girl up there.
- Was that your ex-girlfriend? - I-- She was my girlfriend.
And she didn't-- know how bad it hurts me, what she always does to me.
I understand. Why do I need to talk to her?
Well, her mom chewed me out. All's I came up there and apologized
what I did to her house.
Well, here's what I need you to do, Dustin, okay?
I need you to leave here. Go ahead and walk home.
- I ain't allowed back on this property? - Not tonight, okay?
- Not tonight. - Man, that's kind of messed up.
- Okay, do you have the keys with you? - Yep.
- Walk home. - Just take me to jail. I will hurt somebody.
- Nope. No. Walk home. - Taser me and see what happens.
- No. - Are you scared?
No. Walk home, Terry--
- Walk home. - You don't know me.
- Walk home, Dustin. - Why?
- 'Cause I'm telling you to. - Why I shouldn't?
- Walk home. - Why I shouldn't?
- Walk home, don't come back. - Don't touch me.
- Walk home, walk home. - Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
- Walk home. - Don't touch me.
All right, put your hands behind your back.
Watch my hand!
- You better watch my hand. - Well, then you'd better start cooperating.
- Start cooperating. - I don't want to leave here.
Take a knee. Take a knee.
- Take a knee. - Go ahead,
shoot me and see what happened in front of these kids.
- Dustin, cooperate. - All right, hold this arm. I'll get a zip tie.
What are you on probation for, Dustin?
- Chasing my mom with a butcher knife. - Okay.
- Trying to kill her. - Go ahead and stand up for me.
- Step over to the car. - Who's gonna take my scooter home?
Don't know yet. We'll deal with that in a few minutes.
Face my car, spread your legs apart.
- I let you know, I ain't got no weapons. - All right.
Have to send your dad or a buddy to pick up your scooter, okay?
Took like five of you guys to put me down.
No, I don't do drugs.
I didn't say you did.
He had an ex-girlfriend here and her mom, I think.
So I'm gonna go talk to them, if I can find them,
and see what they have to say about the situation.
- Hey, are you Megan? - Yeah.
Did you have some problems with him earlier?
- Um, mom did. - You did?
- I was gone at work. - What happened earlier?
Well, she broke up with him about three days ago.
- Okay. - And it happened at my house and she told him
- "I'm done. It's over." - I got you.
He has been at my house every day since.
And I go, "look, Dustin. My daughter said no. Enough's enough.
- You need to leave." - Okay.
He went as far as saying, "I don't understand why you broke up with me.
You don't know what this does to me.
- I feel like hurting myself." - Okay.
And he goes, "I have all these felonies on me. I feel like killing myself."
- Just feels like he's got nothing left to lose? - Exactly.
Did you tell him you wanted to be left alone?
- I told him the day we broke up. - Okay.
- And he don't get the hint... - So you've been making it clear...
- ...that we've broke up. - How long ago did you guys break up?
- Three days ago. - Okay.
I'm going to bring him down to jail.
Hopefully he leaves you alone and gets the message.
- Thank you so much. - Try to get him out of here so he's not further problems.
- Okay? All right. Have a good night. - You too. Thank you.
Hey, Dustin, we told you not to come back and you did.
All right? So that's all the charges we're putting on you tonight
is just trespassing. Do you have any questions for me?
There's gonna be another charge on me.
That'll be the only one, okay?
I got three assaults and three...
I got two "meesamators" and assault charge.
Okay, well, this will just be just a misdemeanor trespassing, all right?
- It's my third one. - Okay, we're gonna take you down to the jail, okay?
Try to give an option to leave, like, "Look,
we don't want to do that. We don't want to take that route."
He's not gonna leave here because he's in love.
I live in one of the suburbs of Des Moines.
I'm technically outside of the city.
And all around just good, healthy city.
In fact I just had my second child born about a week ago.
Just good all-around place to raise kids from start to finish.
And it's just a good, enjoyable place to live
and spend your life.
This car is driving kind of erratic.
It's got a brake light out as well.
Gonna see if he's drunk or whatnot.
Looks like one white male occupant.
We're gonna be coming up on University.
We're gonna be coming out on University.
He's running now for sure.
Uh, we're gonna be about 34th and Uni.
Now he's pulling in-- I think it's 3400.
You see him, right?
Show me your hands!
Driver, get your hands out of the car now.
Driver!
Driver, exit the vehicle.
- Exit the vehicle, face away! - Hands up, put your hands up!
- Face away from me! - Get your hands out of your pocket!
Get your hands up on your head. Turn around.
- Turn around! - Walk back to my voice.
Get your-- Turn around! Face away from me.
Walk back to my voice.
Backwards, backwards. Keep facing forward.
Get on your knees.
- Get down on your knees. Get down on your knees. - What did I do wrong?
Get on your face. Get on your face.
On your face.
- On your face. - Car's clear.
- What did I do wrong? - Not stopping for us.
- 103, we have one in custody. - I was turning right around the corner.
- I was driving the speed limit. - Sit up.
- Sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up. - My apartment...
- I don't have any ID on me. - Get up.
- You got a cage, Carly? - I do.
Perfect.
Tell you what. Turn around.
Lean back.
What are you doing, man? Why didn't you stop for us?
Because I was trying to go home and I didn't want to deal with you guys.
- And I wasn't doing anything wrong. - Okay.
Have a seat.
Don't sit down hard. It's a hard seat.
Watch your head. All right, hang tight, okay?
We'll get back in a sec.
Right now we're just going through the vehicle.
Seeing what's going on with this guy, why he didn't want to stop for us
and tried to run.
See if we can find any ID or anything for him too,
since he didn't have a driver's license.
He had a brake light out and was kind of driving erratically.
It makes us wonder what their intentions are.
A lot of times it will be, like, narcotics
or sometimes weapons in the vehicle.
Going through here, I can't really find anything.
Buddy, why don't you step out there for a second, all right?
We're gonna come back here to my car, way back here,
and talk for a little bit. You're gonna be okay with that, all right?
Don't-don't-don't go through this-- this plan
that you do with everybody. That's not respectful.
That's not how the human race should operate.
I just want you to stand there on my left, face towards me.
- All right. - I don't know exactly where you're coming from. I...
Just shut off-- just shut off the...
- No, just treat me with respect and I'll treat you with respect. - Okay, I know.
Now the reason I'm called here, basically,
is they think you're under the influence of something.
I see that your eyes are watery and a little bit bloodshot.
Where had you been drinking at tonight?
- I haven't been drinking. - Okay.
Are you on any medications?
- No. - None at all?
All right, when's the last time you used marijuana?
- I've never used marijuana. - Okay.
- Are you under the influence of any drugs at all right now? - No.
When I was a kid, they had me on 12 different medications.
They had me on tranquilizers. They fucked me up
just because I was hurting inside and I was angry.
So they said I was crazy. No. I just wanted people to listen to me.
I just wanted people to understand.
And that's why I try my best in life to love everybody.
And I realize how foolish the human race is.
We go to war with other countries
and people are killing each other right now.
- Okay. - People are killing each other...
Do me a favor, let me interrupt you again.
You have to have a shot for me...
Just put your feet together like this, all right?
I'm mentally ill, man. That's-that's-that's the way of it.
When you look at life this way
and you really don't have a reason to live
and you don't want to live every day and it's really hard
'cause sometimes you climb to the top of the bridge
and you do 10 pull-ups on it, but the back of your mind just telling you
- to let go and hit the concrete... - Cody.
...but the other part's trying to tell you to get stronger
and get back into shape because I have nothing in my life.
Do me a favor. Let me interrupt you again.
But that's a negative way to think.
Just put your feet together like this,
close your eyes and tilt your head back.
When you think 30 seconds has passed,
open your eyes and say "Now."
Begin.
I feel good, man.
- All right, begin the test. - I feel so good. Life is so good.
- Okay. - I just meditated and I cleared my mind
and I looked at my life in the best way possible,
and if I could just do that, then everything would be different.
And what you showed me is you're not under the influence of alcohol.
You're not under the influence of any drugs right now.
- And I was helping people. - Let's go to the car. I want to talk to you some more.
- And now look at me, man. - But I want you to have a seat and rest.
Damn, what happened to me?
Cody is negative suspended
until 2015.
Cody, our driver here, is
suspended, otherwise comes back clean.
No warrants or anything like that.
He kept telling me that he just didn't want to deal with us
and that's why he didn't stop until he got here.
But unfortunately, the police tell you you gotta pull over
with their lights, you gotta pull over immediately.
Something's going on. I couldn't tell if it was 96 issues.
Yeah, he's not under the influence of anything.
When he estimates the 30 seconds, I did that for two reasons.
One is if he's under like a methamphetamine or something
- like that, he'd be faster. - Right.
He was right-- He was like at 26 seconds,
which is close enough. And there was no swaying at all.
- I'm not smelling alcohol. - Yeah, it's--
Like I said, there was something going on, but I was like,
"I don't know." That's why we thought we'd get you up here.
- Exactly. - And then just see if it is narcotic related,
or if it's just he's got some mental issues
- that he's going through right now. - It's the latter.
- He needs a counselor. - Yep. I hear ya. Okay, well, like I said,
better to double check and see if you find anything that we wouldn't, so.
- Nope. All right. Thanks. - Okay. Good deal.
Perfect.
Yeah, Cody's a little bit different.
He wasn't drunk. He wasn't high on any narcotics.
Just something else going on,
but hopefully he'll learn his lesson tonight,
and as soon as the cop lights come on, he pulls over right away next time.
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
