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 I've been a police office here for nine years.
I was born and raised in Las Vegas,
...and it's kind of one of those dream jobs...
...that you always hear about.
After high school I did four years in the Marine Corps...
...as a rifleman and was able to come back here...
...and get on the department.
It's been great.
We've got some good days and sometimes some bad days,
...but there's never a dull moment...
...being a police officer out here.
Alright, so I just ran this plate...
...and it came back stolen,
...so we're gonna make contact with them.
(RADIO CHATTER)
Come here, man.
Get over here.
Put your hands near the sky.
Drop what's in your hands and get your hands in the sky.
(DOG BARKING)
Come here.
Hands up.
Do what I tell you to do now!
Hands up!
I'm with one not being compliant, running eastbound.
Hey, better stop, man.
I'm gonna catch you.
Southbound Laurel, HMA heavy build,
...gray shirt, tan pants,
...going westbound now...
...across Palm, let's get K9.
Get on the ground!
You don't...
Think you could outrun me?
Get on the ground.
(DOG BARKING)
Hands out to your side.
Don't move.
Jude and Center, one at gunpoint.
Cross your feet!
(SIREN BLARING)
Don't move.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
You got any weapons on you?
No.
Uh, yeah, I think a knife.
– HAWKINS: A knife? – Yeah.
(SUSPECT GRUNTING)
Code four.
One in custody.
– HAWKINS: Sit up? – MCINTYRE: Hey, uh...
Kick this knee under you, just like that.
On the count of three we're gonna roll,
...you're gonna stand, alright?
Okay, hold on.
Okay, go.
One, two, three.
(SUSPECT GRUNTING)
Let's walk over to my car.
Hey, relax man.
Oh, you're hurt now?
Yeah, 'cuz I ran out of breath, man.
That's why we don't run!
Colorado plate.
I'm gonna reach in your pockets.
Oh, imagine that.
Looks like meth.
HAWKINS: Have you been arrested before, man?
SUSPECT: Yeah.
For what?
Possessions.
HAWKINS: Possession of what?
Meth.
Alright, makes sense.
What else?
Uh... Uh...
(INDISTINCT)
...they're saying with firearm.
Alright, cool.
Alright, what we're gonna do...
...we're gonna sit in the car for a minute,
...let you catch your breath,
...and then my partner's gonna talk to you.
So we were searching this guy...
...after taking him into custody,
...it looks like methamphetamine.
It's got that clear crystal-like look to it,
...which is consistent with meth,
...and plus he's been arrested for it before but...
...we'll have to test it and see.
Our problem solving unit did a search on the car.
This has got his, so this is his...
OFFICER: Security number in there.
HAWKINS: Uh, trunk.
– OFFICER: Trunk? – Yeah.
OFFICER: Now it has his info in it...
...but it also has these two Visa cards in it.
HAWKINS: From different people?
OFFICER: Yeah, so it has his social in here,
...and his debit card's in here,
...so if you wanna link this to him too.
HAWKINS: Just these too, the only ones that aren't his?
OFFICER: That aren't his, yeah.
HAWKINS: You okay?
Okay.
Seem a little tired.
You out of breath?
I'm out of breath.
HAWKINS: Why'd you run, man?
Cause I don't want to go to jail...
...for (BEEP) child support, man.
HAWKINS: For child support?
Yeah.
HAWKINS: You think you were gonna outrun me, or...?
No, that's why I gave up, you know, I'm like,
...you know what, I'm gonna...
Who's car is that, man?
A friend from the apartment...
...where I was staying at right now.
It's a friend's car?
My girlfriend's, friend's car.
It's a rental.
I mean, I dunno.
HAWKINS: It's a rental?
Yeah.
HAWKINS: Did you rent it?
SUSPECT: Uh, Jacob.
I dunno his last name.
Jacob, so this dude named Jacob...
...lets you drive it and you come down here...
...to a friend's house.
He was gonna lend me some money, (BLEEP) you know?
Like I said, I lost my job.
HAWKINS: You don't know where the house is.
No, I was trying to find out.
That's why I pulled out of the other...
HAWKINS: So you came down here to get money from a friend...
...that you don't know where they live.
Alright, man.
Hey, what's up with the little baggie...
...of stuff you had in your pocket there?
That was for personal use...
Why didn't you throw... How come you threw that?
How come you didn't throw that but you threw your hat?
I didn't throw my hat.
My hat must've flew away from me. You know what I'm saying?
Just from running so fast?
Yeah.
I didn't even know that my hat was gone.
HAWKINS: How much meth is in there?
A gram, maybe.
HAWKINS: Nah, it's more than a gram. Looked like two, maybe three grams.
Not that much.
HAWKINS: What's up with all these debit cards?
That's my sister's card.
So, why do you have their debit cards and not...
Because we were doing Uber last time we went shopping and (BLEEP) You know, so...
HAWKINS: You don't need a card for Uber.
My sister's at the house.
Well, that doesn't mean, you got all these,
...who's this guy?
That, I found it up in Fremont.
Yeah, you just found it.
You found it and this is your girlfriend,
...this is your sister, this is your whoever.
Those two right there, I found.
Who, this?
You found these.
Yeah, I had those two on Fremont.
You found them on Fremont.
On the floor.
So you just picked them up and put 'em in your wallet.
I mean I just been roaming around the streets,
...you know for the past couple of days.
And these two are...
That's my sister and my girlfriend.
I mean you can even give her a call too.
You know what I mean?
Have you ever ran from the police before?
Uh, no.
This is the first time you've ever ran from the police?
Yeah.
– Really? – Yeah.
How'd that work out for you, man?
Tired now.
Yeah. (INDISTINCT)
Going to jail tired.
I'm just glad I quit before I (BLEEP)
...ended up at the hospital, you know for this asthma attack.
You glad what?
I'm glad I stopped before I ended up at...
...the hospital for an asthma attack.
Hey, we're gonna get goin' here so I'm gonna let you know...
...what you're getting charged with, alright?
Possession of a stolen vehicle,
...possession of a controlled substance,
...and obstructing a public officer.
You're gonna get charged with that too.
I started in the fire station when...
...I was 15 years old, in the Explorer program.
It's helped me tremendously because we get calls...
...here every night for a shooting or a stabbing,
...vehicle pursuits, and being a fireman helped me...
...to harness my adrenaline and be able to think on my feet.
And that goes to the same thing on the street.
So yeah, it definitely helped me tremendous amounts.
(SIREN BLARING)
We just got dispatched to a group fight...
...with another unit to assist them...
...with 10 people fighting.
They got bats in their hand,
...and somebody's trying to run over another subject.
(SUSPECT SCREAMING)
Bitch, I will kill you!
Hey, hey, come here, sit down, sit down, sit down.
– Me? – Yep, sit down.
Hey, down there on the ground.
Okay.
Sit down on the ground.
Sit down right on the curb.
(SUSPECT SCREAMING)
Hey, no!
(SUSPECT SCREAMING)
WOMAN: She's crazy, yo.
Sit on the curb, sit on the curb.
I’ll sit on the mother (BLEEP) curb.
You will because I put you there.
Shut your mouth!
SUSPECT'S MOM: Oh, my God, what is going on?
Who was driving the car?
The big chick that's been down there screaming...
...that won't stop yelling. One of the, yeah, that one.
VILLARREAL: So she got left behind basically?
FEMALE COMPLAINANT: She was the one...
...trying to run me over.
Tried to, chased them up down the road, in the car...
...he was, behind trees, and everything.
VILLARREAL: What's all this over, partner?
Somethin' about... Nothing.
Something about, I don't, to be honest with you...
I have no clue.
I've never even spoke words to these people.
I don't know none of them.
We're standing right here, and here comes the truck.
And suddenly hanging out the window with a gin bottle.
"Come up to the truck, we'll bust a head open,"
"...we'll kill ya," blah, blah, blah.
I'm like, what the hell, what is your guys' problem?
Then the one girl with the pink shorts gets out,
...and she's trying to mediate.
See the one in the blonde hair right there?
She was the one driving originally.
And then... old girl that's been running her mouth is the truck.
Yeah, she's the one that got in, was chasing him around.
She's like, yeah, you could see all the tire tracks...
...in the yards down there.
She was in the yard, chasin' em.
And we're running from 'em and then he comes out...
...with baseball bats and he's like,
"We'll kill you, chasing us? You're following us?"
I'm like, I don't even know who you people are.
So what all were they telling you?
Said they just showed up rollin' up on 'em.
Started saying they were gonna fight 'em and all this stuff.
VILLARREAL: And they were clappin' a bat together.
Those two bats that I grabbed.
Said they threw them in the bushes and stuff.
VILLARREAL: Okay.
Sounds like they're the aggressors.
They said that there's an independent witness somewhere...
– ...up there that we gotta talk to. – Okay.
Just because if she wasn't involved then I want to know if...
Hey, now, is it old girl in the green?
I think it's old girl in the black tank top.
She started screaming something about how is your heroin?
Something like that, so I'm guessing...
...they're involved somehow with dope.
They're... Somehow, some way.
HENIGE: So what are we lookin' at?
Okay, the car pulled up, right there.
HENIGE: What color car?
It's black.
HENIGE: Black? Black SUV?
Yeah.
HENIGE: Okay.
And they jumped out with baseball bats...
...and started beatin' this kid, and I said,
...oh, my God I can't have this happening.
HENIGE: Yeah, which kid did they beat?
It was a guy.
HENIGE: Yeah, which one?
He had a black eye.
I don't know, he was down, so I couldn't see.
All I saw was they was beating him.
They were chasin' him, he was trying to get away.
The person driving that car, I thought it was a guy,
...but it was a girl.
HENIGE: Okay.
And she went up and down the sidewalk.
And screaming and going down the street.
Going a bat outta hell.
Down there, come back,
...anybody come down here with a car would've been hit.
She was out of control.
She didn't come up on my yard,
...she went over the sidewalk.
Yeah, um,
...and sh...
...you didn't see who she was, driving?
Long black hair and green.
She had green on.
Flip around, put your hands behind your back.
SUSPECT'S MOM: Why is she going to jail?
Just shut up, Mom.
Yep, we'll explain in a second.
SUSPECT'S MOM: Okay. Alright.
Why is she going to jail?
Mom, shut up!
SUSPECT'S MOM: I can ask questions.
Listen. Okay, listen. Well, the victims said that...
...she was driving when the car...
...was coming at them attempting to hit them.
That's a felonious assault right there.
It's not right.
HENIGE: What's this all over?
I know you guys are so...
A fence.
Over this abandoned house right here.
They claim that we shouldn't have been taking down...
...the fence which was on my property, which I was removing.
HENIGE: So it's over a fence.
Over a fence.
And it's wrong.
VILLARREAL: I understand, Mom.
You're not gonna be happy because that's your daughter.
Cuz it's your daughter.
They antagonized this (BLEEP).
From all day long.
VILLARREAL: But, it's the assault that we have to go on.
She didn't... She didn't even do nothing to nobody.
Comin' at somebody in a vehicle...
...trying to run them over is a felonious assault.
That's not right.
I understand you're upset but we're here...
...on what went on right now.
Alright?
They come back over here starting anything,
...go in the house, lock the doors, call us.
I have knowledge of this now.
If I hear this address go out for...
...any other trouble like that, I'll be here, let me handle it.
Don't handle it yourselves, okay?
– Alright? – HENIGE: Alright guys?
Yes sir.
If you guys wouldn't mind go up into your house right now,
...we’re gonna, (INDISTINCT) we gotta clear,
...and we'll get everyone cleared out of the street for ya.
VILLARREAL: Alright, take care.
– You guys have a great night. – You too.
I'm sorry, baby.
(CRYING)
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna just take it up tomorrow...
...because they did wrong.
They drove through the yard and everything.
– It's okay, okay? – (INDISTINCT)
Babe, I got you okay?
It's wrong, wrong.
Go give her a hug.
Yeah. Go ahead, sister.
Can she give her a hug?
VILLARREAL: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
SUSPECT'S MOM: It's all good.
(SUSPECT TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
SUSPECT'S MOM: It's not right.
SUSPECT: Alright.
SUSPECT'S MOM: I love you, babe.
Tell everybody I love 'em.
VILLARREAL: Alright.
It's not right.
HENIGE: I'm gonna go up to you guys' house...
...just to identify the vehicle.
Okay?
And then she'll be going down for the night.
Whatever the detectives decide, okay?
VILLARREAL: Yep, absolutely, I'm gonna follow you.
I'm gonna follow you up.
Dude, somebody coulda got ran over.
It coulda been a lot worse.
– HENIGE: Coulda been a lot worse. – VILLARREAL: A lot worse.
I've been involved in law enforcement for...
...at least over seven years on full-time patrol.
Currently I'm in the Army National Guard...
...where I'm a combat medic.
It's great working for Pierce County...
...because they really support the military,
...and they let you go out to go do your training.
So right now we're en route to a residential burglary...
...where my partner asked for priority backup.
And what we know is that the suspect...
...he's got a firearm.
Alright, looks like he's out with them right now.
CRAWFORD: Having those rights in mind,
...do you wish to speak with me now? Yes or no?
I can speak with you if you want to, yeah.
CRAWFORD: That's a yes?
– Okay. – Yeah.
CRAWFORD: So what happened today?
I have no idea.
I mean me and Maria's been having an argument for awhile.
But we came to an understanding...
...that we'll go our separate ways.
But I come home and then the door's locked,
...and I said okay what's going on,
...so then I noticed that my stuff was in bag...
...and stuff like that and so I just grabbed everything and I left.
And I been trying to get ahold of her...
...to try to figure out what's going on.
So you're telling me somebody else broke into the house.
No, no one broke in.
I mean I went in.
You're saying you were in the house earlier today?
Yeah, I was, I took my stuff.
I went in, that's where we stayed...
CRAWFORD: What stuff?
My clothes, you know, my belongings.
Okay.
Because she's telling me that you've never lived here...
...and you've never had permission to live here.
(LAUGHS)
She calls, saying that you...
...sent her Snapchats that you were in the house...
...and that you had broken in.
Yeah, getting my stuff.
She said you had broken in, and I show up...
...and the door is broken.
The door was open, it wasn't broken.
CRAWFORD: The whole frame is broken.
It's always been broken, that's what I'm...
...trying to tell you.
So the big kick mark on the right side of it...
...and all the pry marks?
I don't know about kick marks.
You need the victim talk to right now?
Yeah, keep her here.
Okay, take his headphones off.
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't kick the door.
Tell us what happened.
Literally broke down my door,
...and I just came here to check, you know?
He was sending me pictures.
– Okay, what kind of pictures? – Through Snapchat.
SANCHEZ: Was there a caption at all?
He was standing in the middle of the mirror...
...and saying, should I break this or not.
There's a mirror when you walk in...
...and he was standing right there and said,
– ...should I break this or not? – SANCHEZ: Okay.
CRAWFORD: Maria, I got some questions for ya.
His line of story is kind of...
...making a little bit of sense to me.
Because he's telling me that his key didn't work today...
...and I found out that you changed the locks today.
You told me earlier that he never lived there.
He never had any permission to be there.
He didn't.
CRAWFORD: Okay, so then why did you...
...need to get your locks changed?
Because one time I left my keys at his dad's.
– Which it was me forgetting. – CRAWFORD: Mm-hmm.
And then as soon as he was there, he's like,
"Oh you left your keys here."
I was like, "Oh, okay."
So as soon as that click in my head,
I have to change my doorknobs.
– CRAWFORD: So you think he duplicated the key? – Yeah.
CRAWFORD: Okay. He was not allowed to be here...
...and that he's not a tenant of that house.
– MARIA: Yeah. – CRAWFORD: He never stayed overnight...
– ...or anything like that. – Never.
CRAWFORD: Okay, let me talk to you for a sec.
SANCHEZ: Yeah.
CRAWFORD: So basically her ex-boyfriend,
...they have a child in common, never lived there, never had permission to be there.
So as you can see, appears to be some kind of...
...boot mark or pry mark here.
And then on the door itself, near the lock,
...you can see it's been pried open here.
And then also on the door frame.
It's got some damage here.
And then the door itself, the whole locking mechanism...
...has been taken out almost. He basically looted all the closets.
SANCHEZ: So this is the mirror that she, he was talking about.
This is the mirror that he was...
...taking pictures of himself on Snapchat.
I guess he looted all of her shoes.
He took the TV, the Playstation three.
– So he pretty much cleaned her out. – Yeah.
The only thing they've got in here was her bed.
SANCHEZ: At least he didn't drive away and...
– CRAWFORD: Get in a chase. – SANCHEZ: Exactly. So...
Eli? I'm gonna talk to you again real quick.
So, you got the gun in the car, right? You admitted that to me earlier.
Yeah, I mean, it's right there. You can see it.
– CRAWFORD: You're a convicted felon, right? – Yeah.
CRAWFORD: Right, so, you're not supposed to have guns, right?
I didn't touch it. I mean is that still considered something that...
– CRAWFORD: How did the gun get in your car? – That's not good.
– CRAWFORD: Huh? – It's in a case and everything.
– CRAWFORD: Yeah, it's not good. – That's not good.
CRAWFORD: 'Cause you got it in your hand.
– You still have possession of, control of the firearm. – In a case, I mean...
– SANCHEZ: Case or not, you're still in possession of it, man. – I get it, I get it.
CRAWFORD: You know what, the reason you took it was a bad reason, right?
It wasn't a, it wasn't a bad reason.
The reason why I took it was because of the whole,
– ...okay, the whole money issue. – CRAWFORD: So why are you taking her things?
– Well, because... – CRAWFORD: You're claiming to live here.
With the whole money thing, you know. I pretty much practically did.
CRAWFORD: Explain the money thing to me one more time.
The money thing was that she was gonna...
...help me clear out my debt, so I can actually live on my own.
Because she was helping me a lot.
You know so she, so today, we agreed that...
...we were gonna go our separate ways.
So the money thing, she was gonna give it to me...
...so I could catch up on my bills so I don't get more screwed.
So I'll give you your things back when you give me...
...the money that, you know, to help me survive.
CRAWFORD: So were you gonna use that...
...as an exchange to help you out.
Yes, and that was what I was gonna do.
– Okay, you are gonna... – Is that considered stolen?
You are gonna go to jail today. Okay?
Okay, but is it considered stolen?
– SANCHEZ: Yes. – CRAWFORD: Well, it is her gun.
It's registered to her.
Okay, but everything else in there is mine.
CRAWFORD: Man, everything leads up to...
...you kicking down her front door,
– ...taking her things, including her gun. – I didn't kick down her door.
– You took her shoes, man. – I didn't kick down her door.
CRAWFORD: And you told everybody...
What you're telling me right now is that you were gonna use it for collateral...
...to extort $2700 out of her.
Yeah, you see that?
Awesome, good job, good job.
But no. But I'm saying is, though, I didn't kick down her door.
For one, I did not kick down her door.
I'm telling you I did not kick down her door.
CRAWFORD: Then where'd the damage come from?
That damage was on there.
Dude, I been here a million times.
Doors don't just come like that.
SANCHEZ: So here's the bottom line, man, okay?
You are gonna go to jail, alright?
I get that.
SANCHEZ: For possession of a stolen firearm.
And you are a convicted felon.
Okay?
And for burglary. Okay, for kicking in, going into the house.
– Why... I didn't kick in the door. – I practically live there!
SANCHEZ: This is all related, okay? As a domestic incident.
CRAWFORD: You'll have your day in court and you can tell the judge and the jury...
– ...and everybody whatever you want. – SANCHEZ: But this is what's gonna happen today, okay?
CRAWFORD: Okay?
Can I get some water though, please?
CRAWFORD: Yeah, I'll get you some.
Alright, so this vehicle is the suspect's.
All the belongings in there, that's the stuff that he took.
He even took his, the girlfriend's shoes.
As far as a firearm, I guess it's a Beretta Nano .45 ACP.
I guess it was in the box up on her fridge...
...and he took it off of there...
...while he was gathering her things...
– ...to extort her later. So... – Yeah.
With the shoes.
Yep, all her possessions right there...
...out in the open, so pretty obvious that...
...that's what he was doing.
Pretty open-shut.
132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
DISPATCHER: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is code three.
