ANNOUNCER: "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.
Well, at the end of the night, when the shift's over,
...the best feeling for me is feeling that I did get something accomplished...
...that night at work. Whether it's your local burglar, thief, dope dealer,
...uh, just knowin' that my time at work made some kind of difference.
Uh, we're en route to a disturbance at a residence. Dispatch advised.
There's supposed to be a fight goin' on between two white males,
...uh, with a couple shots fired.
And we're gonna see if we can't get there and catch a suspect before he leaves.
WOMAN: They're in the house.
Who's in the house?
My two sons.
Hey. Drop the gun!
Drop the gun!
He's got a gun!
All right.
He's got one in there with him.
– Did he drop it? – No, he's got the...
...he's got a gun, and he has a guy in there with him.
( INDISTINCT )
– Drop the gun! – Drop it!
– Hey...
– Drop it! – He must've dropped the gun in the room.
There's another guy in the room.
Get on your knees. Get on your knees!
Get on your knees now! Get down on the ground!
I'll get on my knees, I'm sorry.
Then do it!
Turn around.
Turn around!
What is your problem, man?
– I'm turnin' around. – Then lay down!
Come out with your hands up, right now, it's the Wichita Police Department!
– I need a pair of cuffs. – All right, all right, all right.
– ( INDISTINCT ) – Well, but you ain't doin' a very good job of listening.
– What is his name? – Ow.
– Adam? – Ow.
– His name is Ow? – Like, owie, like, Ow.
– Ow! – Yeah?
Come out here, man, with your hands up!
Okay.
– Turn around for us, Ow. – Did he get shot?
Go down to your knees.
– Wasn't I...? – Go down to your knees.
– Yes, sir. – Is there anybody else back there, Ow?
Not that I know of.
What do you mean, not that you know of?
I haven't seen anybody else back there.
Okay. All right.
Put your hands behind your back.
Yes, sir.
Stand up.
Stand on your feet.
He's the one that had the gun.
Watch your step.
Rogers, we got that pistol right here.
Somebody, stay with that gun.
Stay with that gun.
– ( VOICE ON RADIO ) – (INDISTINCT) we have contact with male...
...on the roof in the alley.
( INDISTINCT SHOUTING )
– Stay with that for right now, please. – Yes, sir.
– ( INDISTINCT ) – Lay down.
Lay down on the ground. do it now!
– ( INDISTINCT ) – ( RADIO CHATTER )
( INDISTINCT )
– ( INDISTINCT ) – I'm not doin' nothin' wrong. I wasn't the one that was...
...busted, I was workin' late.
I wasn't doin' nothin' wrong.
I talked to that neighbor up there. He said it was one shot,
...and about 15 seconds later, another shot went off.
So I was, like, who did you with the gun?
And as the officers are walkin', the guy goes...
...chick goes, "Oh, that guy right there."
I said, "This guy right here?" So she points at him,
...points to this guy, says yes, he's the one that had the gun,
...pointing it at another guy that lives here.
And the other guy had his hands up, was backin' up,
– ...and then he... he darted into the house. – Okay.
This is his brother, the guy that we got over there.
It's Jeremiah, right?
– Yes, sir. – Okay. All right, tell me what happened, Jeremiah?
My little brother showed up.
Now, is he your biological brother, half-brother,
– ...stepbrother? – Half-brother.
– Okay. – Half-brother. He... He sh... uh, showed up,
– ...and, uh... – And that's John Paul?
– John Paul, yes, sir. – 'Kay.
He came around the corner. He had that pistol, and I screamed at him,
"What are you doing with that gun?"
Uh, and then, I said, "You're gonna get the cops called."
And he shot the gun two times beside my head.
Okay, do you think that he was trying to shoot you?
Or do you think that he was trying to scare you?
I don't know if he was trying to scare me.
– Okay. – Maybe he was tryin' to scare me, I don't know.
Okay, were you in fear for your safety?
Did you think you were gonna get shot?
– I thought I was gonna die. – Okay.
Do you know what he's upset about at this point?
No, sir, but I haven't talked to him... I haven't talked to him...
– ...in over... over a month. – Okay, so after he fired a couple rounds,
...then what did you do?
Then I ran out, and I was tryin' to figure out somewhere to hide when...
...and I heard this truck comin' down the alley again, and I jumped,
...and I... climbed up on top of that roof.
You was on the roof?
All right, give me a few minutes.
I'll be back with you, all right?
I'm... I'm in the middle room there, watchin' television.
John Paul comes... comes walkin' in.
And he didn't... I didn't invite him over, he just came in.
– Okay. – And he comes into the room.
I know that he and Jeremy have had some problems in the past.
Now, I can't tell you exactly what they are. I think it might have to do...
...with an ex-wife. It might have to do with... I don't know.
Okay, well, let me ask you this. Jeremiah says...
...that he hasn't seen John Paul in at least a month.
– Do you know... – I think that's probably right.
– Okay. – So he comes in, and he wants to know...
...where... where, uh, Jeremiah is.
And I said... I knew, I could tell by his demeanor,
...and I said, "Man, I don't know where he's at."
"Don't lie to me," and he went off on that trip,
...and... and then he said somethin' else, so I said,
"Well, (BLEEP) you, son of a bitch."
– And that's when... by then, I think I had stood up. – Okay.
And... And that's when the gun came out.
– And so you actually saw him pull the gun out? – Yes, I did.
– Okay. Did he point the gun at you? – Uh, yeah, I...
I'm kind of in a bind here, but well, it was in my general direction.
Well, did you think he was gonna shoot you?
It crossed my mind. I... I was concerned about it.
Okay. You didn't see what, uh, John Paul did...
– ...with the gun or anything like that? – I did not.
It was in his hand when he was in my room, that TV room.
– Now I don't wanna... – Were your pants down at that time?
No, and they didn't come down till you guys let 'em fall down.
Oh, okay. Oh, sorry about that moment. I didn't wanna see you...
– ...with your pants down, but... – That's all right, man, that's all right, no...
You know, they say that worse things in life happen when you...
...you get caught with your pants down. So...
...I know that. But anyway, I... you know, I... I... I wanna help you out,
I don't... I don't wanna be... I know the family and I just...
– Right. – I feel sick about this (BLEEP).
So we ended up bookin' him with aggravated assault, domestic violence,
...where he had threatened his brother,
...firing a couple rounds, with the gun.
I've been with the Sheriff's Department for nine years.
Um, I'm originally from Hawaii.
I moved up here in 2004.
I did a little bit of college.
I got hired in the jail, and I've been with the Department ever since.
So right now we're gonna go to a DV court order violation.
It's a protection order.
Uh, girlfriend's calling. Uh, her ex-boyfriend,
...who's not supposed to be there, is at the residence.
Which makes it a violation of the order.
( RADIO CHATTER )
Hey, he's back there.
Let me know if you see him take off.
( DOG BARKS )
Hey, come here.
Is he takin' off?
Get down. He's on the roof.
– You guys shoulda said you guys were... – Police.
Look at me, we're police, now get down.
Put your hands behind your back.
Back here.
– All right. – William?
On your side, partner.
There you go.
Thank you.
Any weapons on you?
No?
– Sir, you know him? – No, I do not.
Okay. You were on his roof?
I didn't know who you guys were.
I was tryin' to figure out what was goin' on.
– What do you mean you didn't know who we were? – You guys never said...
...identified your guys' selves as police officers.
You just started runnin', man.
Bring your knees to your chest.
Here, I'm gonna sit you up on your butt.
– Ready? – Actually, you good? I'll bring my car up here.
Yeah, that's fine.
Um, I'm homeless. I don't have a place to go.
Um, she said I can come over. She was gonna make me some food.
I get to see my daughter.
You know, I mean...
– You are aware that you have a, uh... – Yeah.
I know I... I have a restraining order.
– ...a protection order, right? – I know.
You know, I got messages that'll prove that she said to come over.
I mean, I got messages that say... that prove she got me and tricked me...
– ...into comin' over here. – It doesn't matter, man.
You knew it was there. You knew it was an order.
I got no other place to go, sir.
Just take me to jail, 'cause, this... this way I... I know, the faster...
I'll get my kid back, you know?
You're gonna go up on this knee, okay, ready?
One, two, three... there you go.
– I was gonna get a place to live here. – There you go.
I was workin' on it, you know?
Just got bad credit, man.
So you were in there with Kira?
– Cara, yeah. – Cara? Okay, in the house?
– Mm-hm. – Okay, did you know there was a court order?
Oh, I most definitely knew that there was a court order.
Okay. So you didn't know that we were the police,
...so you just took off and jumped on your neighbor's roof?
You guys didn’t say "police" or anything.
But you just went ahead and, you thought you were bein' robbed or somethin'?
No, I was gettin' attacked, I mean, I was seein'...
...you know, I mean, I don't know, 'cause I got robbed in the back of my truck,
...'cause last time I came over here, I was hidin' underneath the bed...
'cause that's usually how I do, I come over, and I hide underneath the bed,
...until Tom leaves, and then she makes me food, and I get to see my daughter.
– Who's Tom? – Tom's the dad.
Tom's her dad? Okay.
So you're being under arrest for the court order violation, okay?
Yeah, I understand. And look, like I said, man,
...I'm homeless, I got no place to go,
– Okay. – If this'll get me closer to gettin' my kids back,
– ...you know? – Yeah.
Obviously, I couldn't figure out a way to do it, man, I just...
– ...you know what, I just got... – Violating a court order's not gonna get you any closer, man.
Well, you know, I got no choice, brother.
Well, the courts take that seriously, especially domestic violence, all right?
– We have to arrest someone when they violate an order. – I never did domestic violence,
...though, see, that was all... that's all hearsay, you know?
But that's what the protection order was for, man.
Have a seat.
I'll go ahead and buckle you in, all right?
– Yeah. – All right, man. Watch your toes.
( CAR DOOR CLOSES )
Did you see him jump the fence or get on the roof?
He was... He... hopped... He... He went from the other side of the house, he walked...
...like he was gonna try to hop this corner.
I yelled at him, he looked right at me,
...and grabbed up on the fence, looked back at me again,
...and that's when I said hell with it, and started hoppin' over the fence,
...and started runnin' around.
– So... – All right, well...
...he was in this yard, this is where he's not supposed to be.
Hey, Kira? He's in custody already.
– Are you sure? – Yes, he's in our car. Yeah.
So, how long has your boyfriend been here?
Um, he's been stoppin' by for the past couple nights.
But I've been findin' out, since he's been comin' over,
– ...that he's been comin' over longer, like... – Okay.
You know, he said that he was... He crept in my room one night, was the first time I saw him...
...at, like, 11 o'clock. He was like, "I've been hiding under Jake's bed..."
"...for the past five hours," like, yellin' at me, I’m like, "Why is that my fault,"
"...that you're hiding under a bed? You're stupid, you know?"
– Mm-hm. – And, like, I miss him, and I love him,
– ...but he's... crazy. – Okay. And he knew about the order, right?
– Yeah. I, yeah... – Okay. So, what... what's been happening,
...like, what did he do the past three days, like, your table, or...?
He smashed the table, and the coffee pot, and the remote,
– ...and... whatever. – Okay. And you... you were too afraid to call?
– Yeah. – Okay.
– So he was tellin' us that, uh, you had been...
...invitin' him over, is that true?
Well, we've been, like, texting back and forth. I've been giving him money,
...he wants money, and then he's hungry, you know?
– 'Cause he's all (BLEEP), – Is he homeless?
Yeah, he’s... "I’m homeless, poor me, poor me," I'm like, you know, like...
...he left me for another woman, you know?
And we haven't talked in, like, two and a half years.
So this is, like, the first time we're talking.
He... He comes into the house, and he just does whatever he wants.
He just strips down naked, and then he's, like, I'm gonna take a shower,
...make me something to eat, do this... and, like, I was with him...
...for eight and a half years, so, like, when I see him, like, I just, you know,
...like, I'm just, I'm scared.
So I'm... I try... I try to make him happy to get him to leave.
And then I try and be strong and say "Get the (BLEEP) outta my house."
But there's nothin' I can do to ever make him happy!
– ( CRYING ) – So next time, if there ever is a next time...
...and he comes by here, just give us a call, okay?
– Mm. – So I'll leave you alone to fill that stuff out,
...and I'll be back.
You know, I'm kinda leery, every time I come over here,
...because, you know, I know that I'm not supposed to be here.
I've really made a big mistake by comin' here.
You know? I mean, I shoulda got down on my knees and just said,
God... you know, please just frickin... you know, guide me...
...and give me the strength to not... I was so hungry, you know?
And you know how she gets me, 'cause I'm hungry.
All right, man, Well, thanks for your cooperation, okay?
Yeah, she made me pizza last night, I was here. She made me pizza.
– Okay. – Uh, she got mad that she couldn't put extra cheese on it.
She decked me, and socked me right in my face, then she tried to stab me with a knife.
She gets drunk and she cuts herself and stuff like that.
She's not supposed to be drinking alcohol.
All right, buddy.
Story sounds complicated, but when the judge puts in an order...
...and you're not supposed to be here, you're not supposed to be here.
I just knew, uh, I was probably about eight years old...
...when I told my mom, "I think I wanna be cop."
Of course, they tried to talk me out of it,
...because everybody's nurses in my family.
But, uh, it's just something that I knew I wanted to do deep down inside.
It's just... I think it's a calling for some people, and it's hard to explain.
We're behind a car that kind of darted across the road really quickly.
It's not signaling, so we're gonna light it up.
( RADIO CHATTER )
– Hi. – Hi.
Drivin' kinda on the... yeah, way too fast.
I'm sorry. I was on my way to pick up my boyfriend...
– ...from my PO's office. – From where?
– From my PO's office. – PO's office, okay.
– Oh my gosh, that just scared me. – Do you have insurance?
– And a driver's license? – Oh, no, I do not.
I'm not even gonna lie to you, no, I don't.
Okay, where's your driver's license?
– Uh... Uh... – ID card?
In the middle of getting... I'm getting it back.
I got suspended.
But do you have an ID card on you?
I... I do.
– Hi, there. – God, that scared me!
– Oh, no, don't be scared. – Don't be scared.
You're doin' fine, you're doin' great.
Can I call him real quick just to let him know?
No, give it just one second,
– ...we'll... we'll try to get rid of you just as quickly as... – I'm... I'm sorry.
– ( RADIO CHATTER ) – I'm gonna run her to see, uh, what level...
...of violation her license is.
– ( RADIO CHATTER ) – And then, uh... she came from a neighborhood...
...that commonly has stolen cars, and a lot of drug activity.
I notice a bunch of alcohol swabs sittin' in your center console there.
– Yeah. – Are you a IV drug user?
– Was. – You were?
Yes. I... I just recently, I, uh, tapered off of it.
I'm on Suboxone and Subutex.
– Yeah? – And then, uh, tomorrow... not tomorrow, but Thursday,
...I go to actual treatment treatment.
– ( LAUGHS ) – So how long have you been clean right now?
– Four, going on five days. – You don't have any heroin in your system?
– Oh, no. – Do you have... anything in the car...
I need to worry about?
No.
Do you mind if I check your car really quick?
Um, it's not my car, to give that.
– That's okay, actually... – It's not my stuff.
You're the driver of the vehicle, so you're the only person...
...in control of the car.
I can tow your car and look through it if I want to,
...but if you make me jump through that hoop, then I have to do that.
I don't wanna do that, I wanna be cool.
If there's no heroin, then we're gonna be cool.
– Okay. – Sound great?
– That's fine. – Okay.
Step out of the car. You don't have any weapons on you?
Can I grab my cigarettes?
– As long as I can check the packet first. – Yeah, of course.
– Yeah, come on, step on it. – And I'm grabbin' lighter right here.
– No, I'll grab it for you. – Oh.
Come on and step on out.
– Okay, really quick... you're not wearing a bra, – No.
...nothin' like that? Well, you go ahead and step over here,
– I'll grab your lighter. – Alright, the lighter's right there in that little red thing.
– What color is it? – It's, uh...
– Oh, I see. – ...that red thing in the middle.
Okay. You can go back there with Sarah.
Well, we're checkin' right now. This gal's got pinpoint pupils, and she's on her way to her PO,
...and she's tellin' me that she's clean for five days.
But I see this box of swabs sitting here in her center console.
And I'm guessing we're gonna find some needles and maybe a little bit of heroin.
And if that's the case, then I'm gonna take that from her,
...so that she doesn't kill herself with it, by accident.
Because it is an extremely dangerous drug,
...and we have a lot of that goin' on in the streets right now.
And so here's that needle.
It's a used needle, it's got residue of heroin on it.
This is just furthering what my suspicion is at this point.
She's got a bunch of car keys that are not turned into anything yet,
...and I'm wondering about this vehicle at this point.
So I'm gonna check in with Sarah...
...and see if the car came back to someone.
No... what?
Here we go. Here's a little kit.
This is what she uses to get through her day.
There's a little dot of heroin.
– Did he get mad at you? – Yeah, when I got out.
I was good for a week, and then I messed up again, and now I'm going,
– ...on Thursday I go. – To treatment?
– Is that your boyfriend? – Huh?
– Is that your boyfriend? – Yeah.
So here's the deal, dude...
...I found dope in your car.
All right?
I can pee for you, like, honestly, I haven't been using.
I do not want you to sit here and pee, that's not what I'm talkin' about.
What I'm saying is, that's not... that's not someone who's clean,
...that's not someone who's being honest,
– ...that is not someone who is coming to the table... – I have an old kit.
...and trying to get... I have a...
– Okay. – I have an old kit, but I have not been using.
– Okay. – I have not.
So you have a... how much heroin is in there?
I... Honestly, if there's anything in that kit, I haven't been touching...
...that kit, I don't have... I got... I've got rid of almost all my rigs,
I've gotten rid of almost everything.
– Can I see your arms for a second? – Yes.
Sorry, it's dirty, it's embarrassing. (LAUGHS)
– And are you a cutter? – Yes, I go through really, really bad...
I just wanna look at your arms for a second. Hold 'em out for me.
Okay, look at that, there's no punctures.
Is that the only vein that you shoot in?
Yes. These are not from that. These are just from...
These are little bumps that got infected from when I was using.
And my body was not reacting good to... to the dope.
And that's the honest truth, so any hair follicle would get infected, and I would pick.
I don't know if you know this, but your body's never gonna react good to dope.
Right, obviously. But honestly, I haven't been.
I've been working hard. I'm honest with my PO.
Every single time I use, I tell her.
I will be right back with you.
– I'm gonna ask... – Can I sit down on the curb?
Yes. That sounds great.
Don't think she has much on her.
I'm just not happy with what I'm seeing.
I think we're just gonna take her stuff and send her on her way.
– I don't... – Those a bunch of shaved keys?
She's got a ton of keys. Some of them shaved, some of them not shaved yet.
– What are you cryin' about? – Finally got everything set up.
Talked to my PO, like, my dad told me I'd finally be back in his life again...
...if I go to treatment, you know?
I don't... I don't want that to be gone.
I don't want that chance to go away.
Okay, stand up.
I'm just not happy with my life.
What are you not happy with?
Everything about it.
So here's what I am doing today. I am going to take your kit.
I'm gonna take that little bit of dope from you.
I am going to take all of the Honda keys and the car keys...
I have some of my dad's, like, I have, like, three, four keys on there...
– ...that are actually personal keys. – I'll give you one key.
This is an empty key, and this is like your life.
You can groove this key to whatever you want it to be.
Like it fit whatever car you want it to fit.
Now, if you want it to fit that car, by all means, that's your choice,
...but if you would like a better car, you need better people in your life...
...than what you're choosing.
– I know. – There's a guy sittin' over there,
...that's not your future. Go get clean.
I have five years to charge you with this felony.
– Yay. – If I bump into you again, and I find you all strung out...
...on the street, I'm probably gonna take you to jail for that.
– Please do. – And after you do get clean, because I believe you will,
...you can call me up, and you can tell me how great life is.
– (LAUGHS ) Thank you. – Yeah, good luck.
132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
DISPATCHER: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is code three.
