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 played football
for the University of Louisiana Lafayette.
Every collegian athlete wanna play in the NFL.
I already had it figured out to where
if I wasn't playing football,
I was gonna be in law enforcement.
After I tore my ACL, football was over.
So I was like, hey,
I'm just gonna join law enforcement.
So I went from chasing quarterbacks and running backs
on the football field to chasing criminals
on the streets.
Right now, my area I'm just patrolling.
It's a high-crime area, a drugs and prostitutes area.
We're gonna see what we can find.
Yo.
Yo, come here, man.
Where you heading to, man?
- To my house. - Where your house at?
Over there.
Over where? Look, turn towards me
and talk to me, man.
You be good?
Come over here to my car for me, man.
Right here. Hey, hey.
Man, I can't have you walking right in the middle
of the street, man.
Put your arms--
Interlock your fingers behind your head for me, man.
- You got an ID on you? - Mm-mm.
You gonna give me the right information this time?
I gave you the right information.
You know your soc?
- Mm-mm. - Uh-uh?
Turn around for me.
Put your, uh, put your butt--
No, you ain't gotta-- Look, listen.
Put your butt on my rail right here.
Spell your first name.
D-E-M-T-R-I-U-X.
- D-E-M... - T-R-I-U-X.
I can't hear you.
T-R-I-U-X.
Open your mouth for me, man.
Open your mouth for me.
He just spit it out.
38, I got one running.
Stop, I'm gonna shoot.
Right here!
- Behind you. - Come here.
Put your hands on the ground.
Put it on the ground!
- Come here. - Come on, man.
You ain't gotta do all that.
Hey, turn over. Turn over.
Put your hands behind your back!
You ain't gotta do that, man.
Put your hands behind your back!
Put your hands-- Pput your hands behind your back.
- Get off my-- - Put your hands behind your back!
Come on man, you didn't have to do all that, man.
Whoo.
Hey, he spit something out.
Get your hand off my head, man.
He spit something out over there on, uh...
- Man, I got asthma! - ...on Gaston Street.
Don't hold me down like that, man!
He ain't have asthma when he was running.
Man, I'm telling you I got asthma, man.
- Don't hold me down, man. - Yeah.
35's vehicle is at 414 Gaston.
- Here we go. - I'm trying to locate 38.
Hey, come on. Let's go.
I can't ****** breathe.
Let's go, now.
I'm telling you, I can't ****** breathe, man!
Come on.
All right, look. I'm finna let you catch your breath, all right?
All right?
Come on, man. What you do that for, man?
Man, 'cause you ****** with me for nothing, man.
Let's go, you had enough time.
Don't make me drag you out here.
Man, I don't want to do that to you.
I can move around the... the Four.
You check him?
Yeah, I checked him before he ran off on me.
But I know where he threw it at.
Bring him back around there and, uh...
around this corner right here for me.
Yeah, it was mostly by the house over there.
I'm gonna try to see if I can
pick it up. It should be in the grass.
It should be in the grass?
Yeah, a plastic bag.
I don't know if it's from his mouth.
Hey, hold on. I got it, yeah.
Here we go.
This what he had in his mouth.
The bag is still wet, but, uh...
How many is in there?
Let me set it on the back of the car.
This guy has marijuana
and a small amount of crack also.
'Cause last time I talked to him he was speaking
to me regular, loud.
This time, he was acting like he was chewing on something.
Apparently trying to swallow whatever it was.
Then as soon as I asked him, "Hey, what you got in your mouth?",
that's when he took off running.
Hey, look, I wanna work with you
'cause when I dealt with you over there on Cuba Street,
you was cool with me.
I can accept the fact that you ran from me,
I ain't gonna lie-- How old are you?
- 27. - 27? Oh, you my age then.
You can still run. You heard me?
I don't wanna see you in no other bad situation.
Now you running from me, it's understandable.
You know, but do you wanna talk to me--
talk to me, explain to me, why or what happened?
Man, I was just going home. For real, man.
I was going home, minding my own business, bro.
I wasn't out in the street or nothing like that,
trying to burglary, I was just trying to go home.
Well, what drew my attention to you,
you was walking in the street.
Me, as an officer, I'm aware of my surroundings.
So I'm looking at everything. People in the street,
people on the side of the street.
But, you know, you got the regular car
that's coming down here, they won't see you.
They're not gonna pay attention to, hey,
there's a guy walking in the street,
and bam. That's how people get hit.
You know? Some people don't come back from those type of situations.
Good, man. I felt like I had a warrant.
Oh, do you have one?
I don't know. I just felt like it.
Oh, okay.
Look, you gonna be charged with disorderly conduct,
and possession of a controlled substance
and logged with marijuana.
You understand?
Where did you throw the drugs from?
You threw it from your mouth, or you pulled it out your pocket, or...
- I didn't have no drugs. - You didn't have no drugs?
Remember when I told you to be honest with me?
That's all I ask for, man.
'Cause right now I don't feel like you giving me that honesty.
I'm still going back to prison.
You can always have--
You got a lot of life ahead of you, man.
You're only 27 years old.
We're the same age, I wanna see your life
get on the right track,
just like mine on the right track.
I'm gonna have medical to come check you out, all right?
My father worked
as a police officer in Kansas City, Missouri.
And it basically neighbors Independence.
He retired as a deputy chief there.
When I decided to be a police officer,
I wanted to work somewhere where I could kind of
do my own thing and not live under his shadow.
So I picked Independence, and so far it's been
a good experience for me.
I like all the people I work with.
I like the city.
We're gonna stop this car.
He committed a traffic violation
and it matches the description of a stolen vehicle
we had taken yesterday.
The license is showing
lost or stolen, one of two,
registration not on file.
Copy, it's gonna be a second.
It's a match to the description of the stolen Nissan.
226.
Go ahead and shut the truck off for me, sir.
You got your driver's license, insurance?
I don't have a driver's license.
You don't have a driver's license?
Whoa, whoa.
Okay, go ahead and step out here for me.
Face the front of the truck right away.
Put your hands behind your back.
What's this about?
Put your hands behind your back.
Sir, what's this about?
Well, you don't have a driver's license.
Is this your truck?
No, it's a friend of mine's.
It's a friend of yours?
He was all drunk, man.
- What's that? - He was drunk.
- He was drunk? - Yeah.
Where's your friend at?
Back at the bar.
Okay.
So you're just giving him a ride home?
He was buying our room for the night.
He just wanted me to get his truck.
- Okay. - You know what I'm saying?
Where's he sitting at?
I can't see him.
He's at the bar.
Okay, he's at the bar.
I thought you said he's in the back.
Spread your feet.
Where's your ID at?
Will you pull her out?
I don't have my ID on me.
Why not?
Last time I got out of jail, they took my wallet.
Didn't have anything.
There's a lighter, some change.
Is your license suspended?
- What? Yeah. - It is? Okay.
You're getting arrested for driving while suspended then.
And not showing an ID.
Who's your friend in the car?
The chick's here, man.
Just a chick?
Yeah.
You don't know her name?
Sierra.
Okay, open your mouth for me.
Put your tongue out.
Look down.
When's the last time you got high?
Pfft. Yesterday.
Yesterday?
You haven't done any meth today?
No.
Buck, can you watch him?
We're trying to figure out if the car is stolen or not.
The back plate comes back not on file.
He's got a different license plate on the front of it.
It looks like he's gonna have some drug paraphernalia in the car.
The driver, he's got three felony warrants.
So he'll go to jail on those
and along with the traffic stuff.
We're gonna try and figure out who the vehicle owner is.
'Cause he said he just borrowed it from a friend.
Do we have a north side dog?
Negative.
I'll be en route.
He's got some syringes in here.
And what appears to be some methamphetamine.
You've already told me that this is your purse.
Just the diabetic kit.
That purse has not left my sight since you left it from your side.
All right, everything in this purse is in your possession.
Is there anything else illegal in here?
No, I did not know the diabetic kit was in there.
Or the needles.
I'm not diabetic.
Right, yeah. We made that clear.
The needles and the bag with
the white crystallized substance consistent with methamphetamine
is not yours either?
I did not know that the diabetic case was in there.
Hey, bud.
Where'd you get the car at?
Friend of mine.
A friend of yours?
How long ago did you get it?
Tonight.
What's that?
- Tonight. - Tonight?
Where does he stay at?
He's drunk, man.
I don't know where he stays at.
I'm homeless myself, bro.
How good of friends are you guys?
Friends enough for me-- letting me use his car.
Do you know his name?
John.
And how long ago was that?
Maybe 45 minutes ago now.
And then where did you take the car?
Straight here.
So how did all your stuff get in it then?
'Cause all her stuff--
My shit was just clothes.
I was-- I met her up here in the truck with him.
How long have you been using methamphetamine?
I don't know, man.
- Long time? - No.
You smoke it, shoot it, or both?
Just-- I don't do it, dawg.
What's that?
I said I don't do it.
- You don't do it? - No.
Then what's with all the syringes?
What's with all the-- What? I don't know.
What's what? What's with them?
Not my shit.
Okay.
224.
Two four.
I moved all my stuff and I just moved.
We can work with you
with things like that, but when you start lying, that's when--
- I just got all that stuff back finally, and I'm gonna lose it all
because he was in a stolen car.
You know you got a felony warrant?
Is that why you lied about your name?
Just 'cause of the warrant?
Because of the warrant, and I didn't know
he was in a stolen car. I never would have gotten in.
What's your warrant for?
I think it's a theft charge.
It's Clay County.
Okay. You got a couple other ones out of Kansas City, too.
I don't know if those are traffic or what.
I don't know.
- So... - They must be--
Okay. You're gonna go to jail for the drugs and your warrants.
Are you the owner?
- I am. - Okay.
You want to step out here?
There's a little, uh-- Probably some new damage to it.
- Oh, yeah. I've seen the post. - You got your ID on you?
Yeah. He posted a picture on Facebook the other day.
- And I-- - Yesterday.
Yeah, yesterday.
Do you know him?
I didn't know him. That's the first day I met him.
- Uh-huh. - And he took my keys
from a person I used to live with.
And I moved back in with my cousin
- after this happened. - Okay.
- So... - Where was it stolen from?
Was it stolen from your house?
Where I used to live.
A person I used to live with.
How did he get the keys?
He took them from her.
Okay. So you let your friend drive the car
and he stole the keys from your friend.
Yeah. Did you catch him or did you just--
Yeah, we caught him.
Is he in the car?
Uh, he's in one of the police cars.
What's his name?
Clayton.
They got him!
Sorry.
Okay, if you want to go through your car
real quick and, uh,
just kind of look it over.
Took the bars off the top of my car.
Taillight's gone.
Yeah, it looks like it's been off-roaded pretty hard.
Yeah, and I didn't even get to do that yet.
I've had my car for five months
and I never did that.
Well, at least you got it back.
Yeah. With a bunch of other stuff that's not mine.
Where did you see the pictures on Facebook?
Are you friends with him on Facebook?
No, we just looked him up. And he posted it.
You just looked him up on Facebook?
How long ago did you see his Facebook post?
Today, but he--
Did it show a time when he was there?
- Yeah. - 4:20.
Right there.
Okay, that's your car?
That's my car.
Obviously not the brightest.
All right, he's gonna go to jail
for the tampering first.
She'll have tampering second.
And they both have their variety of felony warrants.
Okay, so we just got a call that a...
vehicle's been stolen and is apparently crashed
right down the street.
The suspect may still be in the area.
Right now we have air support and other units en route.
They're smoking a cigarette, and then all of a sudden
I hear it take off and boom.
Can you check to the west of us?
You didn't get a description of the guy at all, man?
It's a brand-new car. I waited inside for two seconds,
come out, my car's gone.
I heard a squeal. It's gotta be someone in this square
or on the left side here.
Why else would someone know to go to my car specifically?
And it's a turbo-charge.
That's why they ran out of control.
Because when you floor this in second-gear,
it pulls to the right because it's turbo-charged.
And so that's why they crashed it--
'cause they don't know how to drive a turbo-charged car.
Uh, that's not really true, Christopher,
'cause I work on vehicles--
Well, I did my particular car.
And it's not gonna pull to the right just 'cause it's turbo-charged.
Well, when you floor it into second-gear,
it's got a pull to it.
And they were trying to get away, so...
- I mean-- - You had anything to drink today at all?
- No, no, no. - Nothing?
I'm not fabricating--
Someone heard me say "Is it okay to leave my car running?"
Well, why would you say that, though?
Because I ran in to get a cord,
and he was smoking on the porch.
And I'm like, "Is it cool?
You think it's safe to leave my car running for a second?"
Because you're supposed to warm up turbos.
Because I just bought this,
and I wanna keep this thing in tip-top.
So, I warm it up,
and I usually stay in my car,
and I ran out for a sec.
You can see the cord sitting on there.
And he was outside, and then all of a sudden
I'm like, "Dude, my car is gone!"
'Cause I was getting ready to leave.
And he's like, "No way, you're kidding."
And then I looked, and I saw it down here.
Okay, let me ask you a question.
- Yeah. - When you came out here, you turned the vehicle on,
- correct? - Down by the bushes, right over there.
And it's hidden by the bushes-- The car was.
Okay, so you came outside, correct?
- Correct. Started the car. - Okay.
- Was ready to leave. - What did you do--
what did you do after you started the car?
We went in, got the cord,
came out, my car was gone.
Could it be possible that you left your car in neutral
- and it coasted downhill? - No.
Honestly, I don't know if I buy
someone jumping in the vehicle, taking off,
wrecking here, and nobody heard anything.
- Okay. - If someone floors a car,
they're gonna cream this one, and that one's gonna keep going, dude.
There's gonna be a bigger impact than that.
If someone's trying to steal this car
and they crash into the back of this car,
the impact on that vehicle would be much greater
if it was someone who stole your vehicle
and was trying to get away from this scene.
What if it was a kid that didn't know how to drive at all?
And barely was, like, bumping back and forth?
And he hit up the curb? Can you guys fingerprint my car?
'Cause I-- Me and my friend have been the only ones to drive it.
I don't know. I'll talk to my partner about that.
But we've got a helicopter up. We're still looking for the suspect, okay?
- So what do I do? - You just hang out there in the back.
We're gonna go talk to your buddy, all right?
I'll be right with you in a second, okay?
Can you tell me what happened?
- So, the car was outside... - Okay.
And he was on his way leaving. I was walking him out,
- smoking a cigarette with him. - Yeah.
And then, um, he realized he forgot the charger cord that he needed.
So, we had to run back inside and get it.
You guys were walking out to the vehicle?
Yeah. So, his vehicle was parked behind the bushes,
- so we couldn't see it from the house or anything. - Okay. All right.
So, we ran back over here. It couldn't have been more than two minutes.
- Okay. - That's it.
And then we came back out with the charger--
- He came out first. - Yeah.
And he said, "My car is gone, my car is gone."
But he's always messing with me like that,
so I didn't know, like, how to take it.
I was like, no. In disbelief, like...
"That couldn't happen."
And of course, I walked around the corner,
around the bushes, and his car was gone.
And then I guess he spotted it, like down the street.
- Okay. - So...
Which way was the car facing?
- The car was facing... - So, downhill?
- Yes. - Okay--
So, is it possible that he may have left it
in neutral, and the car rolled downhill?
See, then I was thinking, "You know what?
Maybe that is a possibility."
Like-- I mean, it's a new car.
He's not very used to it, you know?
So I don't know, like--
I mean, me, personally, I don't know where the extent
you have to pull your e-brake.
I, myself, did not notice if the e-brake was pulled or not.
So I didn't see inside the vehicle
once he started it up.
So you were never in the car with him?
- No. - At all?
- No. - You never got inside the car with him at all?
- No. - Okay.
Hey, Chris. Real quick.
Can you step over here for me real quick?
Okay, I just wanna ask you about something real quick.
- Okay, so your vehicle's right here, right? - Yeah.
And it's up on this curb, and it ran over a mailbox.
Come over here, step over here for me.
- Do you see the tire tread mark? - Yep.
It rolls right through here, and then as soon as it...
Comes to an end right here, it releases up
- and that's-- - Yeah.
Could that be a possibility?
- Okay, so-- - Did that come from your vehicle?
Yeah, but for that to, you know, tread that hard off,
wouldn't you have to be going at a decent speed,
- rather than coasting? - Not so much.
But what I'm thinking is there may have been a possibility
that you left your car in neutral,
- and maybe you did think it got stolen, all right? - It didn't.
Maybe you did think that it got stolen,
you came back out, and your vehicle rolled
along this curb here
and then it shot up into that mailbox.
There's no tire marks here of anyone hitting brakes
'cause there was no one in the car.
And the evidence is here that the car rolled down this hill
and it stopped there because there was a car there
to stop it.
I just got into a car accident
less than a month ago.
What's my insurance company gonna say?
I mean, this is a very low-impact crash.
It had enough speed to take this mailbox out.
- It didn't do anything to this car here. - Okay.
So, that's your report?
That's what our report's gonna say.
Okay, and I file my own, right?
That'll be the report.
You do understand that it's against the law
- to file a false report? - Yes, sir.
- Okay. - Yes, sir.
- Okay. - I-- I don't wanna argue with you guys
'cause you're the law.
You know what would have been a bad thing?
- If it had hit a kid. - Yeah.
That would be a bad thing, okay?
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
