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.
Moved down here from New York, which was 1994.
But I've been in the department 16 years.
Atlanta is a growing city.
There's a lot of action, a lot of things going on.
Working Zone 3, it just has a variety of action
that, you know, is just non-stop all night long.
It's a good city.
I mean, it's growing every day.
And I enjoy it 'cause there's a lot of stuff to do here.
He's coming up on University right now.
We got some ATVs...
I hear 'em. I got 'em.
Not stopping.
He's-- Yup.
Get ready, he's gonna bail.
You have two detained. Advise the 78 on the subject.
Get ready, he's gonna bail.
Go!
Get on the ground!
We got one runner, we got one runner, end of University, black male.
- Black shirt, black pants. - Get on the ground!
Go, go, go, go, go!
Copy. Black male, black shirt, black pants on University.
Yeah, just secure our vehicles.
Somebody secure our vehicles. We're chasing him through the back of the complex.
Last seen in the back of the complex.
All the way in the back of University apartments.
He's back here in the back over the fence.
In this shrubbery between here and the warehouse.
Be careful over here.
Hey.
Here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna show me your hands, or you're gonna get tased.
Do you understand me? Spread out!
Trying to kill people on the road with those damn ATVs.
Yeah, okay, put your hands behind your back!
Hands behind your back!
My hand's on the side, sir. It's stuck on the arm.
Unstick it!
Give me your other hand.
You managed to find your way in here...
- Give me your other hand. - Do it now or you're gonna get tased.
- My arm's stuck. - Do it now!
Put it behind your back.
- Don't move. - Subject being detained at this time.
Copy, detaining the subject at 561 University.
Stand up.
94, that's affirmative. We got our guy.
You ran out of your shoes, too, huh?
Check him before we, uh...
Hold tight, hold tight.
You got ID on you, boss?
Uh, no, sir.
Why are you running from the police?
I wasn't running.
You weren't running? Really?
- Really? - Excuse me?
Were you just laying down there taking a nap?
Did you see that poor pedestrian in the gas station that had to dive
to keep from getting run over by you?
But you weren't running?
Come on, man.
Bring him back up to the bike.
So, this isn't your bike?
I didn't see you riding this bike?
So, you have nothing to say?
Is this bike registered to you?
- Is this yours? - Run the VIN.
I know what I can do. I'm asking you man-to-man.
- Is it yours? - Run the VIN.
Quit moving your hands.
Here's what's gonna happen. I want you to listen to me very carefully.
We can either go to Fulton County with this,
with felony reckless, evading.
Everything else.
Or we can do ATV violations
and put you in pre-trial.
Now, I'm gonna let you think about that for a minute,
and then we'll decide if you wanna man up, okay?
It's mine, sir.
I was telling you, run the VIN, it gon' come back in my name.
So, explain to me why you were running?
Other than the fact that you're on an ATV and you know it's illegal?
I wasn't running.
- I was just riding. - Come on, man.
I was just riding, sir.
- You was just riding? - Yeah.
- Away from the blue lights and sirens? - Yeah.
I was riding.
I'll let you sit down and think about it for a minute.
I'm still trying to decide if I'm gonna put you in Fulton County or City.
I'm gonna leave that up to you. Okay?
I said it was my bike. What else do you want me to say, sir?
Okay. Go ahead and let him have a seat and get his, uh...
Get his info and we'll run him.
- He have any ID on him at all, or no? - No, not yet.
There we go.
Okay, so you're not on probation or parole?
I'm on probation.
Felony probation?
- Uh, yeah. - For what?
Was a long time ago.
- I understand that, but for what? - Shot some folk.
- Is this-- You shot some people? - Yeah.
I went to the chain gain for it and everything.
How long did you go down the road?
Like, five years.
- Okay. - He's got a warrant.
I got a warrant for what?
For breaking into a house and breaking into a car.
Breaking into a house and breaking into a car?
- Anything else you wanna... - That's not you?
That ain't me.
- You sure that's not you? - That's a lie.
- Got your name on it. - That's a lie.
What's your middle name?
- Leon. - That's you.
You know your Social?
I just gave my Social.
If you've got warrants, that's beyond my control.
You know that, I know that.
But the best I can do for you tonight
is we'll do just the ATV violations,
and I'll forgo the eluding,
and the reckless, and everything like that.
But, hey, listen. Let me ask you this.
Can you honestly tell me you didn't see that poor old man roll away from you?
You really didn't see him?
- I ain't see nobody. - He dove!
I ain't see nobody.
You're telling me, man-to-man,
you didn't see that poor guy have to jump out into the street
when you hauled up onto the sidewalk?
- I was just riding. - Okay.
I didn't know there was no problem to ride.
Did you know those other guys on ATVs and dirt bikes?
I wasn't even with them.
Oh, you just happened to be in the middle-- you happened to be in the pack?
I often ride to the house, and when y'all pulled up on them for-- Hey.
You part of that ATL bike gang?
- Nah, I ain't. - You ain't part of bike life?
- I ain't do none of that. - Okay.
You'll have to take this little ride, man,
but luckily, you're okay, and everybody else is okay.
So, we'll get you transported down to city jail, okay?
All right, man.
I've been with the Sheriff's Department of Sacramento for about 10 years now.
It's a good area to work.
It's busy, you know.
It's keeps you going all day, all night, whatever shift you work.
It's a really large melting pot of people.
You know, at any given time, any given night,
you'll deal with just about everybody.
You know, in every situation, every walk of life.
We're gonna stop this white Honda Hatchback in front of us.
Got expired tags and he's kinda driving fast.
So, we're gonna stop and talk to him.
And he's accelerating.
He's trying to slow down. He might be looking for some place to run.
And he's getting out.
Driver, get your hands up!
Keep them there, don't move.
Passenger, put your hands up also!
Be advised, it's a '91 Honda.
Driver, step out.
Hands up, face away.
Now walk backwards.
Keep walking backwards.
Keep coming.
Backwards.
Stop.
Step to your left then stop.
They've detained the driver now.
All right, passenger.
- Backwards, backwards. - Anyone else in the car?
What's the deal, dude?
I don't know. The car's not registered. That's why I thought that-- I don't know, dude.
So, to avoid a ticket,
you're gonna go running away driving fast, swerving.
- I'm tired. - Just bad idea?
- It was stupid. - You on probation or parole?
- I'm on probation, yes, sir. - Probation?
- Yes, sir. - Okay. No warrants or nothing like that?
- I ain't got nothing. - You ran just for the registration?
- It was stupid. - No?
You don't got like, a pound of dope in the car or nothing?
- Fuck no. - No?
- Hell, no. - You got ID in the car?
I got no ID on me.
All right. And you're on probation, right?
- Yes, sir. - All right.
What's going on, tonight?
Just on my way home.
- On your way home? - Yeah.
Okay. Who is this guy to you?
He's just a friend.
Just a friend?
Why is he taking off, running from the police?
I don't know, sir.
You don't know?
Okay. Is there anything in the car?
- Not that I know of. - Okay.
You have anything in your purse we need to know about?
I have a pipe.
What kind of pipe?
- A meth pipe. - Meth pipe.
Any meth in there?
- No. - Any meth in your purse or anywhere?
Uh-uh.
You sure?
- 'Cause again, you don't seem very confident in that answer. - I'm sure.
Okay. So, he wasn't running so you could hide the meth somewhere on you?
- No. - 'Cause we could take you to jail and have you searched
- and then-- - You can search me!
- I don't have anything! - Okay, I'm just asking you a question.
Okay. All right.
Hang out for a second, all right?
Hey, uh, De la Pena,
check this little hatch right here.
- I did. - There nothing in there?
- Hey, Arch? - What's up?
- What's that? - Down there?
- This-- Oh, yeah. - That baggy.
- Ooh! - Jeez!
- That's a huge chunk of crystal. - That's a big ol' rock.
This came out of her purse
with the little bag of weed.
Pretty good sized chunk.
That's probably one of the largest single pieces I've ever seen.
Usually, we see it, basically, like, little crystallized powder.
Usually not in one, just, big solid chunk like that.
Let me talk to her real quick.
This is bullshit.
Hey, this is the deal, okay?
What? I didn't do anything!
- Okay. - Why am I going to jail?
Why do you-- You have a huge bag. Okay? You have some weed in your purse. Okay?
You got your meth pipe.
Then there's this...
The pipe is mine, that's it.
Then there's a huge chunk of methamphetamine sitting--
- It's not mine. - Hold on, let me finish.
Sitting right, basically, in the door jam next to you.
Right where you were sitting.
- It's not mine. - But it's sitting where you are.
So, you're the one taking it. That's why you're going to jail.
- You're asking why you're going to jail, so I'm telling you. - But it's not mine!
Okay. So...
I'll make sure and note it in the report that you said it's not yours.
- Please? - Okay.
- All right. - It's not mine.
- Okay. - I swear.
- All right. - I've been trying to be good.
You been trying to be good?
- Yes. - But you're smoking meth still?
- How is smoking meth being good? - I'm out on work projects.
You're out on work projects smoking meth?
- Right? - Sir, I'm trying.
Okay. I think you need to try a little harder.
He's got lots of cash in here.
There's a bunch of baggies in there, too.
The rock was found on her side.
I'm willing to bet that while he was driving and swerving,
he went to throw it out the window,
the windows down, and it got sucked back in the car
and it landed right there.
That's exactly what happened.
Probably.
Let me talk to him. See what he has to say about it.
Maybe he'll take the beat for his girl.
Hey, partner. This is the deal, okay?
It's like, honesty hour, okay?
So, obviously,
I'm thinking that you were, you know, swerving down the road
and running, and you probably tried to throw this out the window, right?
And what happened was when you went to throw it out the window,
it didn't go out the window, it landed on the floor board
right next to your girl's seat right there.
- Hell no. - No?
- So, what about all the baggies? What are all the baggies for? - For weed.
- For weed? - Yeah, I had weed.
- So, you sell weed? That's where you got the cash from? - No, I don't sell weed, no.
I don't sell weed, no.
Okay, so if you don't sell it, why do you need baggies to bag it?
I don't know. Someone gave 'em to me.
- Someone gave you them now? - They just gave me a bunch of baggies,
- that's why I put 'em in my pocket, yes. - Okay.
- 'Cause that dope ain't mine. - So, someone gave you baggies
that you were initially gonna use for weed,
but you didn't because you don't sell weed,
and now you're just carrying the baggies around?
- Is that right? - No.
- Okay, so this isn't your meth? - No.
'Cause I'm gonna take your girl for sale and for transportation.
That's not mine, dude. That's...
- Okay? - That's not mine.
- Did you hear what I said? - Yeah.
So, it's on her then, right?
- I guess. That ain't mine. That ain't mine. - Okay.
- All right. - I don't know who's it is.
Okay. So, where'd you get all the cash from?
I take care of my brother.
He's on psych meds and stuff.
You take care of your brother,
and they pay you in cash?
Small denominations, big denominations, just random cash they just hand you?
No, all of that wasn't from that.
- Okay, where was the rest of it from? - It's just...
from a friend. I don't...
Okay. So, it's your cash, it's your baggies,
but you were just carrying them around or holding them.
It's not your meth. What about this weed she has and the meth pipe?
Is that hers?
Okay.
All right.
The rock was found on her side,
and he's got all the baggies, he's got all the cash.
He's got the scale behind his seat,
and then he tried to throw the meth out, is what he was trying to get rid of.
- So... - Smart move.
I'll take him for the sales.
And for her,
I mean, all she has on her is a pipe and some weed, so...
I think, maybe write her a cite, and that's it.
Pinellas County is a great place to live,
especially if you have kids. There's a lot to do.
I love going to the beach with my family,
and taking the kayak out, going fishing.
I came from a small agency to start my career.
Pinellas County is a lot bigger.
It's a lot more... Demographics of people
that you can deal with and help with and help solve their problems.
We're gonna stop this car. He was going a little fast down the road
as I was pacing it.
And then, as it made a left-hand turn,
it didn't come to a complete stop.
Hey, how you doing?
Hey, Officer, I...
I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
Look, first of all, let me get your driver's license
first and then I'll go from there.
I have a driver's license legal, I just don't have an ID on me.
- You just don't have an ID on you? - No, sir.
Everybody else does, I just don't have an ID on me.
Okay. Do you have a valid license?
Yes, it's valid, sir.
Okay, whose car is this?
- Mine. - Yours? Okay.
- What's your first name, boss? - Michael.
Michael, you have anything with your name on it?
Um...
I got my mom's insurance.
You don't have a wallet of any sorts on you?
I don't have one, no. They got everything.
I know I have a valid license and everything.
- I told them one of the... - How old are you?
27, sir.
How do I know you're Michael?
I mean, I could give you...
I mean, I could--
Do me a favor, step out for a second, real quick.
All right, hang tight for one second, all right?
I just stopped this car for speeding and the stop sign violation.
I'm just gonna run the driver and the occupants.
They've got three other occupants in the car.
See if any of them have any warrants,
or if the driver's got a valid license.
Yeah, his ID is looking different.
Uh, Michael.
I got a unit coming that's gonna take your fingerprint.
Okay? Come sit at-- sit here on the bumper.
You're not Michael, I know that.
I've been driving, but I just got a warrant out.
- I didn't want to go in, man. - What's the warrant for?
VOP.
Okay. All right.
- What's your real name? - Jason.
Jason.
Okay.
This deputy's gonna take it just to confirm that's who you are.
Doesn't look like anything like the name
that he provided on our database.
So, uh...
This deputy's just taking his fingerprint
just to confirm his identity.
So, apparently, our driver
provided the name of his brother.
Because he had what he believes to be a warrant
for violation of probation.
Felon with a... felon delinquent possession of a gun...
and dealing in stolen property.
Sorry, man, I don't wanna get charged, so I gave a fake name.
Jason?
Is your real name now, not Michael?
Who is Michael?
That's my brother.
So, what's the deal? You just have a warrant?
- Yes, sir. - Okay, do me a favor, stand up for me.
I'm just gonna detain you until I figure out what's going on
and who you are, okay?
All right, spread your feet real wide for me, okay?
What's in there?
Just powder. I just...
I was turning myself in tomorrow morning.
Little powder coke?
Yeah. That's it, sir.
They don't have anything on them. They didn't even know.
- Please don't charge... - Is there anything else in the car?
- No, sir. - You know, just that little amount right there
is enough to charge you with possession. You don't need a whole bunch.
Please, sir, don't charge me with that.
When did you last use?
Probably about four o'clock today.
Four o'clock today. How much you pay for that little bag?
10 bucks.
All right, hang tight for one second, all right?
I'm just gonna test that dime bag for the white powder in there,
see if it comes back positive for cocaine.
So, once the liquid goes down into the Q-tip,
and once it touches the cocaine,
it'll turn a blue color.
It'll let you know that you have a positive hit.
All right, so you see how it turned from pink to blue?
That right there lets you know that you have a positive test for cocaine,
and that this substance is, in fact, cocaine
and it's not baking powder, or anything else like that.
So...
now he'll have a felony charge for possession of cocaine.
Let me see your eyes, real quick.
How much you have to drink tonight?
I haven't drunk at all. You can breathalyze me. I don't drink.
Okay. But you used coke today.
- About five hours ago. - And you drove with it.
So, do you not think you're under the influence of coke?
Uh, it was probably about four or five hours ago.
That doesn't answer my question.
Do you think...
- Do you think you're still under the influence of coke? - Please, sir.
- Please, sir. - Open your mouth up wide.
Put your tongue down.
When's the last time you smoked marijuana?
I don't smoke weed, sir. You can drug test me for everything.
I'm just dirty for mar-- uh, cocaine.
I got two charges?
Well, actually, you got three charges.
One, providing a false name.
Two, if you have a warrant, you're gonna have the warrant charge.
And three, you're gonna have the possession of cocaine charge.
Does it have to be that?
Can I just get the cocaine, not the false name?
Did you give--
Answer my question. Did you give me a fake name?
But you gave me a chance and I was honest.
Did you give me a fake name?
Did you provide a name other than yours
that you believed-- for me to believe was you?
- All right. - All right, so obviously,
you know you're getting the three charges.
You got any questions for me?
Can it be paraphernalia?
I mean, I did-- I know I did it--
I mean, you got a dime bag with drugs in it. What do you think?
That's paraphernalia, though, it's just an empty bag.
It's still got drugs in it.
I can test it right now, and it'll come back positive for cocaine.
So, you got false name,
the warrant, and the drug possession, okay?
All right? Your buddies took the car for you, okay?
All right. Put your feet in.
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
