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.
I think I'm the only 6'9" police officer on the force here in Kansas City.
One of the pros would certainly be I can see really well
around small structures like fences,
posts, stuff like that.
It comes in handy in a foot chase from time to time.
When someone makes the mistake of trying to hop a fence.
The downside is that bad guys can always see me coming.
We're gonna pull over this black Dodge pickup truck.
The license are expired on it.
(Siren blares)
He's gonna take off.
321 with a vehicle refusing to stop.
17th and Jackson, southbound.
It's a black Dodge pickup.
(Radio chatter)
Affirmative. It's a black Dodge pickup.
He might wreck right there.
Standby. He's driving through front yards now.
19th and Jackson.
He's all over the road.
He just tossed something.
(On the radio) 321, did you get a copy of the license?
He's south of 23rd Street on Jackson at a high rate of speed.
We've disregarded 6-90 yet?
Radio: We'll check on 6-90.
He wrecked out.
Radio: - 321 had a car fail to stop... - Light up, light up, light up.
It's a black Dodge pickup...
(Siren blares)
They were last seen southbound...
Where they at?
Did you see them run this way?
Nobody.
(Bleeps)
(Over radio) Party bailed, possibly northbound.
Only description is a white male.
In there.
(Over radio) Did any other car copy?
324, I'll show you en route.
Come here!
Come here! Show me your hands! Do it now!
- Do it now! Get down on the ground! - What's going on?
- Get down on the ground! Do it now! - Get on the ground!
What's going on?
Get your hands out.
What's the deal?
321, we're taking one into custody.
What's the deal, Officer?
Elliottt, this is Spruce, right?
Yeah, this is Spruce.
(Sirens approaching)
- Roll over. - What's your name?
Marvin.
Can I ask what this is about?
Sit up.
Elliottt, you good?
Yeah, I'm good.
What street is this?
Woman: - It's Spruce! - What's going on?
Well, we had some people saying you jumped out of that truck.
Hey, was that him?
Oh, positive.
21, yeah, all the witnesses are saying the guy we have in custody is him for sure.
Sit down right there.
You got ID on you?
No, sir.
Yeah, that's him for sure.
All right, man, here's the deal.
We're gonna get a K9 out to find anything that you dropped, all right?
Do you wanna own up to it now, or are we gonna have to find it?
- What are you even talking about? - Okay, sir.
If you wanna play dumb with me, we can do it.
Just do it the hard way. That's totally fine.
I guess that's how it's gonna have to be 'cause I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay. All right. Fair enough.
Can I help you with anything?
I'm the one he almost killed back there.
Okay, man. How's this--
Can you go to where that jeep is parked, and I'd like to talk to you,
but let me finish up my business with him first, okay?
Thank you, sir.
All right, man, you have anything on you that's gonna poke me or stick me?
No, sir. There might be a...
one hit of marijuana.
One hit of a weed?
What's going on?
What caliber is this, man?
- I don't know. I just found it. - Okay.
All right, man. We can stop beating around the bush.
My partner and I saw you leaving an area
where copper thievery happens every single day.
We go to stop you, you take off,
you wreck out. When we finally catch up,
you have burglar tools and scrapped copper wiring on your person.
So, what we're gonna do is backtrack to the area where we first saw you,
and see if there's any signs of burglary,
any signs of missing copper, anything like that.
Are you telling me we're not gonna find anything back there?
Not by me.
All right.
Then why would you run?
- I didn't run. Y'all got the wrong guy. - You boys trying to get through?
Sir, how you doing tonight?
I'm good.
I really appreciate you coming up and telling me what happened, okay.
Did you get a look at the driver of the car?
I seen 'em both, man. There was two people in the truck.
Okay. What did the driver look like?
The driver was... the one that had a beard.
- He had a beard? - He had a beard. That's all I could see
was he had a beard.
Was he a white male? Black male?
- White male in the truck. - Two white guys?
Okay. Hey, I appreciate it.
Yeah, God bless you. Have a good night.
- Was that in his pocket? - Yeah, that was in his pocket.
That's why I said he probably ditched a weapon back there somewhere.
Okay. And the truck doesn't come back stolen?
It has not, no.
It came back registered to the truck.
Make sure and check the VIN as well as the plate.
Yes, sir.
They wrecked out here.
People were in the Mustang and they were backing out.
Okay.
As you can see, this guy really takes care of his property.
I'm going to jail?
Yes, you are going to jail.
Right now you're going to jail,
I believe, for felony eluding.
- We got warrants here as well. - And you got warrants.
So, regardless, you're going to be going to jail tonight.
They said my warrants weren't extraditable,
and I didn't elude shit.
Well...
we have people who say that you were driving that truck.
So, as of right now, you're going to jail for eluding.
You don't have any convictions.
So, I mean, you're not in any trouble for having the bullet on you.
But I ran a background check of you, man.
You've found a way around the justice system many, many times.
Climb in there, have a seat on the left for me.
We had no charges on the passenger.
He didn't have any warrants, anything like that.
So, he's gonna get a get-out-of-jail-free card tonight.
Atlanta is as dynamic an area as you can imagine.
The area which I work is more challenged.
And we put in an extreme effort
to try to push out that criminal element.
That way that all walks of life can enjoy the entire city.
We're gonna go check out this gentleman.
He's operating a bicycle at night
with no lights on the front or back,
coupled with the fact he's on the wrong side of the road.
So, we're gonna stop him.
Let me talk to you for a second, Bub.
- Sir? - Let me talk to you for a second.
Couple things. You gotta be on the same side of the road as the cars,
you gotta have a white light on the front.
It's gotta be able to be seen from 300 feet,
and you have to have a red light on the back.
Do you have your ID on you?
Yeah, I-- No, I don't have it on me.
You don't have it on you, but do you have an ID in the state of Georgia?
Yeah, I have one.
Do you have any weapons on you?
No.
- Little bit of a hesitant right there. - I don't have nothing.
You sure you don't have a weapon?
Okay, for your safety and my safety,
mind if I pat you down real quick make sure you don't have a weapon?
Yeah, I mean, I really...
I'm really going to the house.
Where's the house?
Right here at the apartments right here.
Which apartments?
I mean, right here in the hotel.
- The hotel? - Yeah.
What room you staying in at the hotel?
- 249. - 249?
You got your keycard on you?
No, I was going to visit somebody.
So, are you staying in 249, or are you visiting somebody?
Visiting somebody. I'm out here...
just out going...
Okay, well, where do you actually live?
I stay right here on Deerwood.
On where? Deerwood?
Do me a favor, step in front of the car, real quick
- while I check your information, okay? - All right.
Just hang tight right there by the pushbar.
(Radio chatter)
Get on the ground!
- What happened? - Get on the ground!
Get on the ground! Get on the ground!
What happened?
- All the way on your stomach! - What happened?
That was about as not smooth as it gets.
Put your hands behind your back.
Put your hands behind your back!
- Both of them. Now! - What happened?
Could you have been more obvious, my man?
- I... - Come on, now.
I've been in the game too long.
- I didn't do nothing. - You didn't do nothing?
You didn't take that pouch out of your pocket and throw it over there into the grass?
Right in front of me!
- I didn't throw nothing. - Come on!
It's got weed in it 'cause I can smell it on you.
I ain't got no weed.
Okay. No, you don't now, 'cause you threw it over there.
94, roll me one more non-emergency. I got one detained.
You gonna detain me? For what, what'd I do?
What'd I do?
He threw it pretty far.
I saw it, it was like a woman's pouch.
Here we go. Here we go.
You didn't quite throw it far enough, boss.
Why do you think I had you stand directly in front of my car?
So I could watch you.
And while you're standing directly in front of my car,
- what do you do? - That ain't mine.
That ain't yours?
So, I didn't watch you take this out of your pocket
- and throw it? - No.
What's in here?
I don't know what's in there. I don't know what's in there.
This fine gentleman here likes to insult my intelligence.
Oh, look! It's exactly what I thought it would be.
That ain't mine. Man, that's over there in the woods.
It's over there in the woods, huh?
After you threw it directly in front of me.
I didn't throw no shit.
Come on, man!
Got anything else on you, man?
Nah, I ain't got shit. I ain't got shit.
Listen to me, boss.
We're gonna figure out right now
if you're gonna go to Fulton County for tampering with evidence,
or are we gonna go to city jail for less than an ounce,
and a bicycle charge?
And I'll forgo discarding evidence and obstruction.
That depends on if we wanna man up and admit what we did
directly in front of the police sergeant's eyes.
It's either pre-trial or Fulton County.
I'll go to pre-trial.
You wanna go to pre-trial.
Okay, so what did my eyes see?
Your eyes didn't see me.
What'd my eyes see?
I guess your eyes seen right.
They seen right, okay.
It'll be all right, my man.
I appreciate you owning up, though. That's...
Can I use the restroom, Officer?
Yeah, I'll work with you. I'll work with you. Bring one knee in.
There you go.
Take him back to your car,
and search him real good before you put him back in there.
And I respect you finally owning it.
But I've still got a job to do.
Now, that was all of it, correct?
- You don't have any taped on you or anything hidden, right? - No.
You sure?
'Cause this'll be your only opportunity.
'Cause if you take anything inside that sally port,
it becomes a felony, you understand?
- Yeah. - All right.
You go inside that sally port...
Spread your legs for me.
...that's a felony charge.
Is there more on you?
- You got any more on you, you gotta-- - You're sitting here--
I got it on me.
- Where at? - In your shoe?
- In the shoe. - In your shoe? How much?
It's just a little gram or something.
A little gram?
It's all personal stuff.
- Okay. - I'm on medication.
Just inside my sock right here.
It's in your sock? Okay, I see it. I see it.
- You got gloves? - Yes, sir.
Okay. Just hang tight.
Honesty, dude. Honesty will help you out.
If it's just a little gram,
you might still be under an ounce and you'll still be good,
and I'm still a man of my word, and I'll put you in city jail.
So, what am I charged with?
If it's just that little one-- Is there one in the other sock? Or is it just that one?
- That's it right there. - That's it?
Okay, you should still be less than an ounce.
So, I'll still-- We'll still stay with what I said, okay?
Now, no probation or parole popped up.
You're not on misdemeanor probation anywhere, are you?
Okay. All right.
Well, you should be all right. You'll have a city court date for the less than an ounce,
and then the bicycle light requirement.
And you just made a very poor decision.
But after the fact, man,
you were right in front of me, man.
You go from the back pocket, you think about it, and then,
- whoo! - I seen you come up by the gate,
I should have thrown it then.
I wish you could have been in my shoes, 'cause I almost had to laugh.
Born and raised in Kansas,
and I decided to move away for school.
And I thought I wanted to be a science nerd,
but it just wasn't for me.
Decided to try out law enforcement.
I've been policing for three years now.
I love it. It's been one of the best experiences of my life so far.
Just received a call from a passerby
saying that a white male, khaki pants, no shirt,
was assaulting a white female with pink shirt and blonde hair.
There are a couple people witnessing the event, apparently.
Hello! What's going on?
I wanted to go to the store and he didn't.
Where y'all live at?
I live right here.
Okay. Where are your shoes at?
Oh, they're in the house. I was just walking--
He didn't want me here 'cause I was walking--
She was walking to the store by herself.
(Both talking)
I just got off work.
Okay, well, someone called 'cause they were concerned.
So, I was arguing with him 'cause I just got off work from the chicken farm.
- Okay. - And I was going to the store.
He didn't want me going by myself and he got mad at me.
- He cares about... - Ain't no big problem.
- You wanna stand over there for me for just a second? - Yeah.
So, give me your side.
We was arguing a bit.
- That's about it. - What was the argument over?
Uh, me getting my clothes on.
- I'm sorry? - Giving me enough time to get my clothes on.
I was running up to the store.
- Why were you running after her? - To catch up with her.
So, he was running to come get you.
And how'd an argument ensue?
'Cause I told him I was thirsty.
He said, "You know this ain't no good neighborhood to be walking around by yourself."
I said, "Let me get my clothes on."
Hey, let her talk.
And I didn't give him enough time to get his clothes on.
He said, "I don't want you walking by yourself 'cause it's a bad neighborhood."
And I come anyways.
So, why were we called?
If y'all are just arguing, what...
What led somebody coming down the road to call us?
'Cause I told him I could walk anywhere I wanted.
- Huh? - 'Cause I told him I could walk anywhere I wanted to.
- Okay. - And it wasn't a bad neighborhood.
I was yelling at him.
So, you think you yelling at him caused somebody to call?
I mean, I was yelling at him.
So, this never turned physical?
- No. - No, ma'am.
'Cause somebody told me it was a fight in progress.
I didn't hit him, he didn't hit me.
What's y'all's relationship?
Boyfriend and girlfriend.
How long y'all been together?
Seven years.
- How many? - Seven.
Seven years. How long have y'all lived together?
About six.
So, this claim that y'all were fighting is just not real?
- No, it ain't. No. - We wasn't fighting, we was arguing.
So, he's upset that you didn't wait for him to get clothes on,
and he didn't want you to walk alone 'cause it's dangerous.
- Y'all get in an argument... - Yeah.
- Then you turn around and come back? - But he didn't-- Yeah.
- And that's the meat of it? - Yeah.
All right, hang tight right here for a second, okay?
Okay.
They're saying nothing happened.
The guy down there says he has video.
You wanna wait with them and I'll go down there?
Yeah.
Okay.
(Car starts)
We apparently have a witness who has a video.
So, we're gonna see if we can validate any claims,
and we'll have to go from there.
(Radio chatter)
- Hello. - Hey.
Who saw what happened?
He took a video.
Okay. You have your video?
Can I see that?
Where were they when this happened?
Like, at the corner?
- Yes. - Were they hitting on each other?
He got everything on the video.
There we go.
(Shouting)
Looks like he's trying to keep her from going the way she's wanting,
and he keeps grabbing her, and she's telling him to get off of her.
Umm, he just pushed her in the head,
and she walks off.
And he's following her and grabbing her again.
How'd y'all get involved?
We just heard, like, voices, you know?
Like, a guy yelling at her, but we don't...
Did you hear what he was saying at all?
- No, no. - You just heard him yelling?
He was working on these jet-skis,
and then he just jumped on the truck and started, you know...
Okay.
All right, and where were you?
- I was right here. - Okay.
Let me get you the case number real quick,
and just save that video, 'cause we'll need a copy of it, okay?
Okay, let's go over here and talk.
All right.
- Tell the truth. - I'm telling the truth.
He was pulling on my jacket, and letting me not go away from him.
That's all he did was pull on my jacket. He didn't punch me, he didn't hit me.
Well, I mean, I saw a video of what he did.
He didn't punch me or nothing.
He may not have punched you, but he hit you in the head.
He hit me in the head?
Yeah, he open hand, just in the face.
Or, side of the head.
- You don't remember that? - No.
I watched video of it.
I mean, I know he was pulling my jacket,
but he did not hit me.
So, you don't think he was trying to hurt you or anything?
I know he wasn't.
He thought I was mad about him sleeping all day.
I don't care if he sleeps all day, I'm working. You know what I'm saying?
So, it don't bother me if he lays in bed all damn day long.
He has never hit me this whole time we've been together.
All right. Hang out right here for me. Don't go back over to him.
Let me talk to him, and give me a minute.
Justin, stand up for me.
All right, you're going to jail, okay? You're being charged with domestic violence.
Can I see the video?
Well, I don't have the video with me,
- but I'm sure... - Man, I ain't got my shoes...
...the video will come up in court.
There's video of you putting your hands on her, okay?
And that's something we're gonna have to work out in court.
Thank you.
All right, if he doesn't have anybody to bond him out,
he's gonna sit, okay?
All right, well, good luck to you, Crystal.
Thank you.
- Will you meet me over there? - Yeah.
No, I ain't--
There's video of what happened.
But I didn't put my...
You never put your hands on her?
I told you what I did to her... what I did. That's all.
Did you push her, punch her, any of that?
No, I didn't punch her.
What about push her?
She'd tell you if I punched her.
Well, what about push her?
I pushed her probably a little bit.
Why? What were you trying to get out of pushing her?
I ain't trying to get nothing out of pushing her.
I ain't pushed her like you think I pushed her.
All right, well, video says different,
and you're gonna be charged, domestic violence.
Officer over radio: 132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Dispatcher: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
