"That's what you're trying to hide, ain't it?" "No, sir." "Lean forward." "Officer:" "Was this suspicious vehicle?" "Suspicious person." "Uh-huh." "This is the marijuana I took off the male that I was wrestling with." "A whole thing of that?" "Yeah." "He's probably got more in the car, so." "We're gonna search." "Gonna look at this car real quick." "We got more marijuana in plain view." "It's probably what he was trying to hide when everybody was getting out as well." "We got ammo right there." ".40 cal Smith  Wesson." "Most likely got the gun in here somewhere." "Uh, multiple small baggies of marijuana located in the backseat." "And we got some more pills right there." "That looks to be like ecstasy." "We'll test it." "He'll also get a charge with that of intent to sell." "Officer:" "Got a few more." "You got some in there?" "Yeah." "All right." "Probably looking at a couple ounces." "Hey, can you find the owner of this car?" "It's the guy that's in my backseat." "Okay." "Which car is yours up there, man?" "That black Altima." "The black Altima?" "The front left?" "Yes, sir." "Okay." "That's your car?" "Yes, sir." "All right." "What y'all doing over here, man?" "Sir, I was just gonna go to a party and I picked up a few friends." "Uh-huh." "And they were in my backseat." "Everything we're finding in that car, who does that belong to?" "Um... to people that were in the backseat." "Mmkay." "Well, it's your car, right?" "Uh... yes, sir." "But it's not mine." "Not yours?" "No, sir." "All right." "Hang tight." "We're gonna tow that vehicle out of here." "He's got all that dope in there." "This is the male I first detained." "I ain't do nothing." "I'm saying, well, it's not time to plead a case right now." "Put him in the car." "I'm saying it." "He was kind of trying to get behind me a little bit." "I'm like, "No, we ain't playing that."" "Right." "You got the other guy?" "Yeah." "So why were you resisting, man?" "No, I was just falling over." "You was just falling over?" "Yeah." "You sure?" "And when you pulled me out and (bleep)," "I started" " You know what I'm saying?" "You" "Are you on any drugs, man?" "You high?" "Is that your marijuana?" "Nah, no, that's my-- that's my boy car." "Your boy car?" "I saw you driving it." "I didn't know that was y'all." "I thought somebody was trying to get us." "Oh, yeah?" "That's why I started" "So we gonna take them drugs off you, put the charge on him?" "Huh?" "All right." "Watch your elbow." "Lean that way." "(sighs)" "This is the marijuana we found inside this vehicle." "So both males I've detained, one will be getting the dope charges and a resisting arrest." "We also got the owner of the vehicle." "We're gonna take him to Clay Road, see if the district attorney wants to accept charges on it." "When my dad found out I was gonna be a police officer, he was in the Middle East fighting' a war." "He called me up and he said," ""Son, you know, the job is too dangerous."" "And I quickly reminded him that," ""You know, Dad, you're in the Middle East fighting' a war." "I mean, that in itself is dangerous."" "And then after that, he just accepted it and let it be." "We're going to a call." "A disturbance, uh, between a few males." "It's our third call tonight." "The caller is known to me." "I've dealt with him a few times before and it becoming a third time, it's becoming a nuisance, and we may have to do something tonight." "(police radio chatter)" "Let me see your hands, let me see your hands." "(yelling)" "Put-- put down." "Put down." "Put it down." "Put it down." "Put down the other hand too." "Put it down." "Lay down on the ground." "Away from the knife." "Get away from the knife." "Get away from the knife!" "Okay." "I'm the one that" "I understand." "Put your arms out to your side." "(police radio beeps)" "Dispatch, subject came at me with a knife." "He's down." "Stay where you are." "Put your face down." "Look away from me." "Look away, look away, look away." "Look the other way." "The other way, Oliver." "Put your hands behind your back." "(knife scrapes on ground)" "Look away for me, Oliver." "Put your-- put your face down, Oliver." "It's my property." "Relax, relax, relax." "Relax your hands." "Relax, Oliver." "Oliver, relax." "I'm trying." "I've got bad elbows." "Why am I getting arrested?" "Well, you were come running up to me with a knife." "I wasn't coming." "I was- (police radio beeps) -10-4." "I've got him detained right now." "Man on radio:" "Your transmission was garbled." "He approached you with a knife, but everything is 10-24 at this time?" "That's 2" " That's 10-4." "(speaking indistinctly)" "We're 10-74 right now." "He's in handcuffs." "Is he?" "Put your-- put your" "Here, bring your legs together, Oliver." "Bring your legs to you." "Bring your legs... bring your legs to your chest." "Bring your legs to your chest, okay?" "I wasn't trying to come at you, man." "I was petrified." "I know." "Help me get you up." "Up." "All right." "Let's go sit on the back of the truck over here, okay?" "Well, the pictures I took of him..." "Okay." "I'll look, I'll look." "Have a seat for me." "What's happening tonight?" "I had my English friends come over." "Uh-huh." "And then I guess a couple of their girlfriends invited some of their girlfriends." "Word spread there was a house to stay at." "Okay." "I've been coming home every day," ""You need to go, you need to go, you need to go."" "And I've called twice, and every time the officers come, there's no one there." "Okay." "Oliver, may I ask this question?" "How much have you had to drink tonight?" "Maybe seven." "Seven?" "Eight?" "The normal stuff?" "Yeah, but that, that's worn off..." "Okay." "Did you take any drugs today at all?" "No." "No?" "I've stopped doing my pills." "Oliver, come on." "Do you recognize my face?" "Yeah, of course I do." "I've dealt with you many, many times." "Yes, yes." "Okay." "You're drunk again." "No, I'm not." "There's nobody here." "They've been out here" "That's the third time." "Oh, my god." "Can we look at the video cameras?" "Whoa, whoa." "Now how did you wind up out of your house with a knife?" "'Cause one girl was, like, pointing that way-- No, that way." "He was behind the fridge, so if I'd run into the kitchen" "Now when you say-- You told him to leave though?" "Yeah, both of them, and they just started, "I'll (bleep) you, man." "We'll cut you up." "We'll shoot a (bleep) bullet in you."" "Okay, you said they were gonna slash your tires, right?" "Well, he was doing that while I was on the phone to" "Where's your car?" "It's a golf cart." "The golf cart?" "So he was slashing your golf cart tires?" "And then I said, "He's trying to slash my golf cart tires right now,"" "and he spat and then he started running." "Okay." "Yeah." "I mean, can you get these off of me, man?" "Please?" "Okay, well hold on for a few minutes." "So he's claiming again there's people in the house, and we pulled up, I got out of the truck and looked over my shoulder, and here he is running." "I was running away!" "Stay quiet for me, Oliver, okay?" "He was running toward me and he's got the knife up like this and his other hand up like this and I worded him to the ground." "He says he's got pictures and videos of the people today." "Oliver:" "Yeah, there's one black person." "You see?" "Where?" "Right there on the white-yellow couch." "There was nobody there." "There was." "There's not." "I'm telling you." "Here's the deal." "Here's what we're gonna do." "Okay, you're out drunk" "No, I'm not out drunk." "You're running around with a knife" "Oh, my life." "Okay?" "You could have ran out in the traffic and got hurt." "All right?" "So, we're gonna take you into protective custody." "We're gonna take you over to" "Are you kidding me?" "No, I'm dead serious." "My mum gets in town tomorrow, you know." "Okay." "Coming with me, okay?" "What are you gonna do to my condo with a bunch of freaking people in there?" "The same thing I did last time." "I'm gonna kick 'em all out..." "And then I'll get back in, yeah?" "Okay." "Yep." "Are you familiar with Oliver?" "Officer:" "No, I'm not." "Yeah, he's from England and his parents sent him over here 'cause they don't want to deal with him." "Usually nobody's in there?" "Yeah." "(police radio chatter)" "Clear in the kitchen." "All right, we're good." "Oliver drinks a lot and drives his golf cart around." "I'm checking it out to see if there's any tire slash marks." "But again, there's nothing." "Oliver." "Who you talking to, Oliver?" "Whoever I can talk to." "I'm not drunk, man." "Okay." "I've been sober since that stuff started." "Yeah?" "Well, Oliver, you know, it's" "Man, I'm gonna go to sleep." "I have to get my mum." "I understand that, but you do realize is you were in the direction of a police officer with a knife." "I was trying to get your attention." "I was scared." "Wouldn't you be scared of a Black guy running after you?" "I'm a little scared of you running after me with a knife like this." "Well, I wasn't meaning that." "At the time all I was thinking was finding the police." "Well, do you think that was a good decision, to run towards me with a knife?" "I wasn't thinking." "I know." "Also we went inside your house." "We looked around." "There's nobody in there." "Nobody by the refrigerator." "(indistinct)" "Okay?" "Nobody tried to slash your tires." "There's no one there." "There was." "Okay, you're seeing things, Oliver." "And the picture that I was able to see, that you showed me, that you showed me of somebody sitting in a chair in a photo, there was nobody there." "It's the third time we've been out here now." "I'm not drunk, man." "I haven't done pills." "I'm tired." "I haven't slept and you're trying to get" "You are messed up and you reek of alcohol." "Ugh." "I'm sweatin' it out." "And you got beers all over your house." "Half of 'em full" "Yeah, half of 'em are from the other (bleep) people." "Come on, man." "All right" "It's not gonna do any difference to me going to detox." "I know it's not, and that's the thing, Oliver" "So can you just take me home, please, please?" "I can't, Oliver." "Every time that you go to rehab, you get out and don't care." "Okay?" "You may not care about yourself, but right now, today, I care about you." "You almost got shot, you're running down a direction with a knife." "I wish I did now." "Okay?" "No, don't say that, Oliver." "Why not?" "(bleep)" "This is like getting shot." "Your mum comes here to see you all happy, and now what?" "This?" "Are you kidding me, mate?" "And you'll be calling us back all night long." "I wasn't delusional this time." "I" " I have my girlfriend" "So the other two times, you were delusional?" "I was rushing around, but I knew there was people there." "I knew there was." "This time they were in my face." "There was someone in your face?" "Okay." "Threatening to stab me." "Come on, man." "Please." "That's just really ridiculous." "These handcuffs are killing me." "We're just gonna take him into protective custody tonight." "He's not under arrest or anything." "I'm not gonna charge him for moving toward me for a knife." "You know, I believe he believes he's seeing things, so we'll just get him some substance abuse help and hopefully this time he'll learn from it, but probably won't." "Rashell and I are identical twins, and we were just so close." "She obviously told everybody that she's eight minutes older and my boss, but that's okay." "My sister is awesome." "We've had two separate careers together." "I live across the street from her." "She's my everything, you know?" "We've done everything together our whole lives." "She rocks." "My biggest fear in life would be to be on this earth without Laura." "It would be devastating." "(police siren blares)" "We're gonna try to stop this vehicle right here." "It's unregistered and it made a turn without a signal as well." "(police radio beeps)" "Control center 2467." "Number two, go ahead." "Unregistered." "It's gonna be a gold Lincoln town car." "We're gonna be Industrial and D.I." "(beep) -(siren blares)" "(beep) -(siren stops)" "Hey, Sis, make sure they roll all their windows down for me." "Hello, sir." "Hi." "Is it" " Can you roll the windows down or" "I actually can't." "These are broken." "Okay." "Is there anyone else inside the vehicle besides you?" "No." "Nobody." "Okay." "Can you go ahead and step out of the vehicle for me then?" "Sure." "Go ahead and step in front of my car for me." "Nobody else in there?" "No." "Okay." "Is it about the-- I got a moving permit." "Okay." "Go ahead and put your hands behind your back." "I'm just gonna make sure you don't have any weapons while we're talking to you." "No big deal." "Go ahead and put your hands behind your back." "There you go." "The reason why we pulled you over is 'cause your vehicle's unregistered." "Where you headed to?" "Stratosphere." "My friend invited me to the show "MJ Live"." "Oh, okay." "Are you a musician?" "Yes, ma'am." "What do you play?" "Guitar." "What kind of guitar?" "Awesome guitar." "Oh." "Very good." "I play at the Flamingo." "Very good." "Very good." "Stay here?" "Yep." "Do you have anything illegal on you at all?" "No." "How 'bout in the car?" "No." "No marijuana or anything like that in the car?" "No." "I can smell it." "So, you wanna-- you wanna lie to me some more?" "No, I don't want to lie." "Okay, so tell me the truth." "Have you ever" "I'm a guitar player." "Okay." "I do smoke some marijuana." "The truth will set you free, young man, 'cause you have options." "You can go to jail or you can get a citation." "Where is it?" "It's in the glove." "It's next to it." "Okay." "Put your knees right up against that for me, okay?" "What else am I gonna find in there?" "Have a pipe?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Hang tight for a second." "So you play some killer guitar though, do ya?" "And you play in a band here?" "Yeah, I play the Flamingo Hotel." "All right." "It's not a big deal." "Marijuana is probably gonna be legal soon, but it is still illegal." "I know, I know, I know." "I want to cooperate." "You know." "I'm not quite sure I know what that's for." "Looks like he's got several different moving permits." "We'll see if these are legitimate or not." "A lot of people think marijuana is legal." "However, in the state of Nevada, it is still illegal." "And even if he had a medical marijuana card, he can't drive impaired." "So basically when we walked up to the car, that back window is just cracked just enough that I could get a whiff of marijuana." "And, uh..." "and it's strong." "I could smell it from the back." "But right now, we've got quite a bit amount of marijuana." "How long ago did you smoke?" "An hour ago maybe." "Man, this stuff is strong!" "It's actually not." "It's not?" "No." "Where is your pipe?" "'Cause I couldn't find it and I couldn't find your driver's license." "Um, I can point it out to you." "Okay, so what's-- what's the deal with the plastic gun under your seat?" "The BB gun, little airsoft gun?" "It's for a friend of mine." "I got in in Chinatown in L.A." "It's just, like, a joke." "Oh." "You be careful with that, okay?" "Yeah." "And he's got several permits." "I'm getting vintage plates in." "Okay, so this car was registered at some point?" "Four months." "That one should cover it for four months." "So you already ordered your plates?" "Okay, I'm confused, Sis." "Explain to me." "He went down to register his vehicle today and he registered it, but because they're personalized plates, it takes" "Oh, they gotta mail them to him." "They gotta mail them and it takes a while for them to make 'em, so that's why he's got the temporary tags." "Who did the car belong to before you?" "Cheryl..." "I forget her last name." "They're friends of my friend." "Okay." "Friends of the guy I'm living with." "Okay." "Let us do" "No warrants though, right?" "No." "Okay." "Have you been arrested here?" "No." "Okay." "Come on." "Stand up for me." "I like you 'cause you're a happy guy." "All right, what I'm gonna do is I'mma put you right here in front of the car." "Don't take that marijuana." "It belongs to Metropolitan Police Department now." "But spread your feet." "Okay, put this hand on the back of your head for me, okay?" "That one on the back of your head." "Okay, relax for me." "All right, James, we got a confession to tell you." "All right?" "We, my sister and I, are musicians as well." "Really?" "And we played all up and down the Strip before we became police officers." "That's so funny." "So, we're" "So it's my lucky day." "It's your lucky day." "I feel for you, okay?" "Yeah." "I'm gonna show you something, all right?" "Oh, nice." "That's me." "Do we look alike?" "That's hilarious." "Is that not awesome?" "And I've been married for 20 years and my husband is a drummer." "And he played in Air Supply for" "Keeping it all in the family." "For about 10 years." "Wow." "And so he traveled the world and he currently plays with the "Gordie Brown Show"" "Oh, nice, nice." "Over at the Golden Nugget." "And so, keep it up." "Yeah, for sure." "Stay out of this stuff." "Yeah." "Trust me, we know how musicians struggle." "Yeah." "And good things happen in this town." "Yeah." "But going down this road, you may not, you know." "Now the bad news." "Do the right thing, okay?" "Yeah, for sure." "All right?" "All right." "Today, you're gonna get a citation, and it's possession of marijuana under one ounce, so it's just a misdemeanor." "It's like getting a speeding ticket." "Okay?" "So, it's not a big deal." "And please listen, James." "Here's your paperwork." "The biggest issue is we have too is that you're driving." "Yeah." "Okay?" "I can tell that you're not impaired right now, but what happens when you get too much and you do wreck a car or run into, you know, our kids or our family." "Just think about those things, man." "No, for sure." "Don't smoke in the car." "No." "You know what I'm saying?" "All right." "Don't have so much on you." "(chuckles)" "All right, get out of here and enjoy your show tonight." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Good luck." "Take care." "Awesome." "I've never been apprehended by a..." "By twins before?" "By a duo of musicians." "(both laugh)" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Take care." "All right." "Take care, man." "He learned his lesson." "Let's hope so." "We weren't that bad, were we?" "No, we were, like, too scared to do all that stuff." "I know." "We just wanted to play music." "132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint." "Dispatcher:" "Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush." "Cover is code three." "(overlapping police radio chatter)"
