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.
Fort Myers, it's a small department.
And it's very close knit.
I just work with really good people.
Um, the city itself, it's a small city
inside of... bigger county.
We have a lot of high call volumes.
And we encounter so many different things
on a daily basis and that's why
I chose Fort Myers.
This vehicle is traveling at a high rate of speed
and it failed to stop at the stop sign
as it made a right hand turn.
I'll conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle now
and make contact with the driver.
DR 71. 10-79.
DR 71.
He's running eastbound.
Running behind houses on Brookhill.
We're on Michigan right now.
I lost him about two houses north on Brookhill.
Black male, medium linked dreads
approximately...
six foot, six two.
He's either laid up between these houses
or he went inside a house.
Um...
He saw him right here behind this house.
He saw him right here, behind this house right here.
I don't know if he bailed inside the house or what.
- Running that way? - Yeah.
We're gonna attempt to do a dog track.
DR 71, we're gonna try and reacquire the scent
from where we last saw him.
The last place we saw him
was about two houses north from Michigan.
Is that him?
You all right?
Huh?
- Do you live here? - Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am.
What happened to your hand?
That.
From over the fence?
You climb over the fence?
- Yes, sir. - Which one?
Right there.
Put your hands behind your back.
Why were you climbing over the fence for?
Because that right there.
- 'Cause the dog? - Yes, sir.
You have any ID on you?
- Not on me right now. - I'm sorry.
Don't have mine on me.
- Where your shoes? - Got dirt all over him.
I know.
Do you live here?
- No ma'am. - No? Where do you live?
When-- the truth, why I ran...
Uh-huh. Truth why you what?
- Why I ran... - From what?
From you-- I'm not even gonna lie.
I'm telling the truth.
Because I'm walking down the--
DR 71, I'll meet you out there.
I'll tell you right now, miss.
What's the truth?
I'm missing on check.
You weren't near a vehicle?
I was nowhere by a vehicle.
All right. Go that way.
Stand still.
He's got blood on him. Careful.
Through the back?
You got anything on you?
Anything on you that's gonna stick me, hurt me,
poke me, anything like that?
- Well, I might-- - Spread your feet.
You might have what?
Like, a little weed bag that I was smoking.
A what?
A little bag I was smoking, that's it.
You have anything else on you?
No? All right, have a seat.
I saw a white vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed.
It blew straight through a stop sign.
So, as I tried to approach the vehicle,
to light it up to stop it,
um, it pulled up in front of this residence,
I light it up, the driver bailed
out of the vehicle.
Our K-9 responded
and they helped us locate the guy
four or five blocks from here.
He spontaneously uttered, "Do you wanna know why
I was running? I'll tell you why I was running."
We found all of this felony amount
of drugs in the back of the vehicle.
And in the vehicle, we actually located
a credit card with his name on it.
He said he wasn't a part of the traffic stop,
but we're gonna try to talk to him now
and see how a credit card with his name on it
ended up in the car if he wasn't in the car at all.
All right, good. Nice job.
Sit up.
All right, were you driving a vehicle tonight?
No? All right, where were you before we located you?
I was walking down the street.
I was wa-- I mean, well...
What street were you walking down?
I was walking around, um...
I really can't tell you. The name right there?
- Brookhill? Okay. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm wanted.
You're wanted for what?
Violation of probation.
I violated it like, two months ago.
Okay.
All right, and--
I seen y'all shoot down-- somebody shot over here.
- Okay. - I just sat right there.
Hey, where are your shoes?
I really couldn't tell you, ma'am.
When you ran, you lost them?
- Yes, ma'am. - All right.
And you cut your hands when you were running?
- Yes, ma'am. - All right.
And so do you live at the house where we found you?
Or you were just hiding from us?
I'm just sitting there.
Just sitting there?
I was just waiting for y'all to go, I wasn't...
You were just waiting for us to go by?
Yes, ma'am. I wasn't trying to hide.
That's why I was just sitting on a chair.
- Okay. - My girl stay right there.
If you wanna go ask her, whatever you wanna do.
All right. Well, when we found you,
you said, "Do you want to know the reason I ran?"
- So why you-- - No. I didn't say do you--
I said, "Do you want to know why the reason I ran?"
- Yeah. Okay. - That's exactly what I said.
- I'm sorry, you said it like that. - Yes, ma'am.
What's your reason?
I just told you my reason.
Okay, but you weren't near a vehicle or anything?
You didn't bail from the vehicle?
- No, ma'am. - 'Cause we were pulling
a vehicle and a guy looking just like you...
- I saw you with my own eyes. - Listen, ma'am,
- can we stop talking about a vehicle? - Yeah. Sure.
Okay, I told you I wasn't driving,
I wasn't nowhere by a vehicle.
I was walking down the road,
going to my girlfriend's house.
No vehicle.
- Okay. - Please stop bringing that up.
How did your credit card end up in that car?
- I don't know. But listen... - You don't know?
- Don't ask me again... - Is this--
- Listen. - I'm not asking you about the car.
- Is this your credit card? - I was not-- no.
I don't have a credit card.
That's not your-- Is that your name?
I don't have...
Right there?
Yeah, that's my name. But I'm pretty sure it's...
It's never been used. I don't have a credit card.
I don't have...
But it is your name, correct?
- I just told you my name. - Okay.
And so you have no idea how it ended up in the car?
- No, ma'am. I don't. - Okay.
Well, just so you know, it was located in the car
with a large amount of marijuana, all right?
- Yes. - So right now, you're gonna be charged
for the, uh, for your violation of probation warrant
and you'll be charged with possession
of a felony amount of marijuana.
- Yes ma'am. - Okay?
Do you have anything to say?
- No, ma'am. - No?
All right.
Right now we're responding to a shots fired
where the complainant is calling in saying
he got in an argument with somebody
and the guy had fired rounds at him.
Some of the rounds hit the ground in front of him.
And he's also advising that the guy had shot
next to his head.
Both parties apparently are still on scene
and the complainant is waiting for us right now.
Back up towards me.
Keep coming.
- All right. - Keep coming, keep coming.
Stop.
We don't know who has the gun right now.
It's coming from these people over here.
So I'm guessing they're gonna attempt to make
contact with them right now.
What did I do wrong?
I don't even own a gun.
All right, well just go ahead and grab a seat
give us just a few minutes.
I was going to feed my friend's dog.
That's all I was doing.
And he shot at me.
I don't know why I'm getting treated like this.
I'm the one that called you guys.
Okay, hang tight for me.
Which guy was the shooter? This guy or the first one?
- This guy was the shooter. - Because he's threatening me!
All right, well just sit tight for a few minutes. We'll figure out what's going on, okay?
Start stepping back to my voice!
Step back to my voice!
I got bad knees!
Keep coming... Keep stepping back.
Stop right there.
What's left in there, sir?
Just a poodle. There's nobody in there.
- Where's the weapon? - Hanging in the trailer.
Okay.
Sheriff's Office!
Could be a dog in there, that's it.
- Sheriff's Office! - Make yourself known.
Go ahead, I got you covered.
- Clear? - All clear.
Clear. Find a gun yet?
- No... right here. - Found it? Oh.
We found the pistol.
So we've got spent casings and a revolver.
Basically, the first guy that was walking to us
he was the victim.
Well, we'll go talk to him real quick.
Can you tell me what happened tonight?
His dog came after me and I said,
"You better get that dog on a leash
or somebody's gonna end up shooting it."
And that's when he fired.
- Okay, so... - You understand what I'm saying?
- Right, he shot at your... - He could've killed somebody.
Okay. And about from where we're at right now,
where did that occur, where he fired the shot?
Can I show you? Can I get out and show you?
- Actually, yeah. Go ahead. - Okay.
I was going to feed my friend's dog.
- Do you know him at all? - No, sir.
Did you guys argue at all beforehand?
No, sir. I didn't even expect that.
That's where I was going.
- Right here. - Okay.
So you were coming through right here on this side of the fence?
Yeah. His dog come running up
and I said, "That dog better not bite me,
blah blah blah," and then he fired and it went this way.
Okay and where were, where were you standing?
I was right about here and the gun went off here.
- Was he shooting at you? - No.
He just wanted to scare me.
- Did you fear for your life? - Come on.
It's a simple question. Did you think he was gonna shoot you?
If he wanted to kill me, he would've killed me.
Okay.
But I'm not scared about nothing.
All right. Well, let's go have a seat real quick.
We're gonna talk to him and stuff, then we'll get
- you out of handcuffs and everything, okay? - Okay.
I guess I shouldn't have done that but dammit,
I didn't fire at him, sir.
Okay, why did you fire towards him?
No, I did not fire towards him.
- Okay, well... - I got witness to it all.
Why did you discharge your weapon then?
That's a mistake I made, sir.
- Okay. - Okay?
That's... that's a mistake I made.
- Did you fear for your safety? - Yes, I sure did.
Because he's younger than I-- I'm 75.
I just got through with radiation of cancer.
Why did you fear for your safety?
Because he's threatening me!
- Okay. - And my dog!
What was the specific nature of his threats?
He-- he says, "I'm gonna shoot you and that fucking dog
that's off a leash."
Okay. Is that when you drew your weapon and fired?
- No. I didn't have the weapon. - Okay.
So you went back into the trailer and grabbed the weapon?
Let him know I had a weapon.
And then he still kept at me.
Did you see a gun on him at all?
No. But how do I know? I mean...
We're in Wittmann.
Sit tight for a few minutes, we'll figure out what's going on, okay?
Let's just go talk to the other witness now.
Can you tell me what happened tonight?
I was walking and I heard that guy there
threaten to shoot him and his dog.
So Wayne shot towards the ground.
When you say-- when you say he threatened, how did he say the threat?
He says, "I'll shoot you and that dog."
Okay, was the dog... near him?
Not that I could see.
- Okay. - I think Pebbles had already
went into the trailer by that point.
But see, I could hear him saying it as I'm walking
down the alley. But then I seen him coming towards Wayne.
- Okay. - And Wayne shot towards the ground.
Now did Wayne-- did it look like Wayne was...
in distress at all like the guy was gonna
- come at him or anything? Did Wayne--- - Yes.
He was yelling at him and Wayne said,
"Don't you threaten me and my dog. I have a weapon."
And he sh-- fired it.
And he-- and I seen the dust.
- Okay. - And it was nowhere around that man.
It was completely away from him.
- Okay and after the shot... - And then he's sitting there--
The man's sitting there cussin' Wayne up and down,
- left and right. - After the shot or before?
- Before and after. - Okay.
So after the shot, what happened after that?
The guy kept saying, "You stupid..." Yeah, you know.
"Motherfucker, blah blah, blah blah."
- Okay. Okay. - "Blah blah." Okay.
Just be patient and just wait a few more minutes, okay?
Just watch your leg.
- Can I have a window down? - Window's down.
Haha! Let me out.
- Yeah... - Is she ready to go?
Just release 'em. Let 'em start walking away.
Do you have any questions for us at all?
I'm pissed.
Okay. I would be, too.
Well, I should have never called you guys
'cause I should have just took matters in my own hands.
Well, then you'd probably be going to jail too.
You don't want to do that.
Next time a man pulls a gun and shoots at my head,
you won't find me. And you won't find him.
This is that last time I'm gonna go through this crap.
- Okay. - You know what?
The West is done.
Our victim here obviously had been drinking.
But our suspect went inside, got a firearm
and then re-approached the guy.
Kind of changes a little bit to now
instead of "I'm just defending myself" to
"This guy's pissing me off, I'm gonna challenge him."
It doesn't meet statute for self defense.
So I guess the wife is gonna go ahead and secure the trailer
and leave for the night with her husband goes to jail.
One of the things I really like to do
is I work on my car in my off time.
I have a Mustang that I build,
a 2003 Mustang Cobra.
It's basically my baby.
I got out of high school and, uh, it was my dream car,
so I bought it.
I take it out to the track every once in a while
and go racing. That's what I do on my weekends off.
We're heading to a call of a male and female
sleeping behind a building where they're not supposed to be.
Let's see if they're here...
Three, Call Three.
- Hey. Hey. - Someone's here.
I think he's dead.
Sit. Hey, come back over here.
- My boyfriend-- - I know, stay out of the car.
- Get over here. - My door...
I am. I'm right here, I'm right here.
- Baby! - Well, his eyes are moving.
He looks like his eyes are... I don't know.
I don't know, we got in a fight over an hour ago
and he took off. He was just--
Call Three, get me Fire Rescue over here, please.
Baby!
Jeff! Jeff!
- He's got a pulse, relax. - He's still breathing.
Yeah, he's breathing. He's got a pulse.
B-- back away from him. Back away.
Go sit-- go sit over by the car.
Just relax for a minute.
We were together... I was working all day.
- And then I picked him up-- - Did he take anything today?
- I... - Does he do drugs, ma'am?
- Be honest with me. - Yes, he does.
- What does he do? - He shoots up.
All kinds of pills.
What's his name?
- Jeff! - Jeff.
You hear me, buddy? Jeff, you all right?
Mm-hmm.
Baby.
Do you have his ID? And your ID?
I don't know where any of his stuff is.
It's probably in the box...
Baby.
Were you guys driving in this car?
I was driving, he was walking.
We got in a fight at the hospital
over three hours ago and I was trying to find him
- and I just... - Okay. Is that his wallet?
Found him right there.
- Do you have your license? - It's in the car.
This is his.
I'm gonna go ahead and leave, Officer.
Yep, you're good.
Stay out of the car for a second.
I'll go over there with you in a minute.
- I'm gonna leave. - Yep. You're good.
Yes ma'am. You have a good night.
Stay over here. Stop walking around.
- Are you-- Do you do drugs, too? - Yeah, she's on drugs.
- Oh hush. - Yeah... hey, can you stay with him?
He was just incoherent, eyes wide open.
What does he use?
- Meth. - Besides meth.
What does he take? Whatever he can get his hands on?
I don't know. I'm not with him during the day,
so I don't know what he takes during the day.
Okay, what was he at the hospital earlier for?
I broke out with the shingles at work.
I called him, he was riding with me,
and we got in a fight when we got there.
Why? Who-- who needed to go to the hospital,
- him or you? Oh, okay. - I did.
Hey, Bubba. Hey, when I got here,
- he was... - Out?
Out. Eyes wide open... actually he barely had a pulse.
- ETOH or... - No. He's on...
He'd shot up just now, or something, and he went...
I actually thought he was gonna seven on me, right here...
in the grass, yeah. And then he woke up.
So... you know, yeah. He had a faint pulse.
But it was...
- A lot of stress, driving... - All right.
Kimberly!
- I'm... - Kimberly!
Let... their job.
You know what? Fuck you.
Fuck.
Motherfucker.
You're not going anywhere, so you can relax.
Okay, you can do that.
Sorry, get out of the car. Get out of the car.
- I'm looking for my... - Get out.
- Get out. Stop. - No! I'm not...
- Stay where you're at. I'm asking you to do something. - Okay! All right!
- Aw! Fuck you! - You don't want to listen?
- I'm listening! - We can play that game.
No, I don't want to go to jail. Please?
Do you have anything on you? Any guns, weapons, or drugs?
- No. - No?
- Nothing's gonna poke him? - Do you shoot up?
- No, I don't... - He's the only one that does it?
If you put a needle in there, I'll punch you.
You can check my arms all you want, I don't do needles.
I smoke the shit.
- Is there anything in the car? - Yup.
- What is in the car? - My meth.
Your meth? How much meth do you have in that car?
- Just under a 20. - Oh.
Where's your meth in the car? Will you show me?
- Is it in the center console? - No.
Why are you smoking meth?
How long ago did that start?
About a year ago. When my dad died.
- Okay. You live over here? - Yeah.
It's right up underneath the front seat.
My bubble and everything is in there.
- Oh, and this thing? - Uh-huh.
And that?
- That? - Yeah.
- And that's your pipe? - Uh-huh.
Is there any meth left in the bag?
- A little bit? Okay. - A little bit.
Please don't take me to jail.
Relax for a minute, I'll come talk with you in a second.
Jeffrey, why were you in-- so incoherent?
I mean your eyes were wide open, you barely had a pulse.
Were you having a seizure?
I think I wanted to shut down, I'm shutting down. I don't know.
- How long you've been using? - A while.
- A long time? What about her? - I don't know.
She's got some meth in her car.
- Huh? - She has some meth in the car.
- He's all right? - Yeah.
Okay. All right, buddy. Can you stick around for a couple minutes?
- Just relax, all right? - Yeah.
- All right... - I need to get up.
Fucking antsy.
Just wait for somebody, don't be driving the truck
'cause you don't have a license.
- Kimberly. - Huh?
So what's going on?
I was waiting for him to walk by and were were talking
and then he just started-- he started passing out.
- Okay. How long-- - And then--
How long have you been using?
Like I said, just under a year, when my dad passed away.
- I just lost everything. - Okay.
And then my little dog got hit over off of Teak.
And I started using more.
So you've been trying to get off of it?
- Are you trying now? Yeah. - I've been trying.
I was doing good. When we got in a fight,
I just relapsed, I...
Oh, so the fight today is what made you relapse today?
- With him? - Yeah.
All right, he's gonna give you a hug, okay?
Come out for a minute. Let you guys stand and talk.
Stay right here in the car. We'll let you talk to him, okay?
I'm sorry, baby.
- You're gonna leave me... - No, I'm not.
Yes you are. Well, you don't want to be with me.
You don't love me. You already told me.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
He'll be here for you when you get out.
I don't want to go to jail.
- Well, you have to go. - No!
- Behave yourself. - Kimberly, give him a kiss if you want.
No. Baby...
She'll be going to jail for possession of meth
and he's gonna wait for his friend to take the car.
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
