If the team's on top of the roof!

If the team's on top of the roof!

You didn't realize what you'd done at all?

No, sir.

You passed me doing 80 miles an hour. I got behind you. I was behind you for

over a mile.

You left the active roadway four times.

When you got here, you turned around like you were trying to leave.

That's why I parked the way I did.

Only after you saw that you weren't going to get shot by me did you stop.

You understand?

All right, now, as I'm talking to you, your eyes are bloodshot, glassy, and I

smell the odor of alcohol.

How much alcohol have you had today?

How much alcohol have you had today?

Sir, I was going to stop you.

Sir, I was definitely going to stop you. I just left an interview, and I was

going home. I was going to stop you, sir.

How much alcohol have you had today? I don't know, sir. You don't know.

Sir, do you have a driver's license?

No, sir.

No. Okay. Now we're getting to the rudder.

When was that driver's license taken?

He must be the same. What was it taken for?

He was. He was.

I need you to put your left foot down on the line.

Okay.

Right foot front, just like this.

Okay.

I can almost do it. I can almost do it. I bet you I can almost do it. Okay. All

right? All right. We're going to do it. Let's do it. Okay. One, two.

Now this guy's behind me. That's my boss. My boss watches everything that I

But what did I do to have him behind you? My boss watches everything I do. I

know what he's about to do. No, he's not doing anything. No,

he's not. He is. No, he's not. He is. Sir, I'm going to ask you one last time.

What do you want me to do? Sound out loud. 1 ,001, 1 ,002. 1 ,001.

1 ,002.

1 ,003.

1 ,004. Go ahead and start putting it down. 1 ,004.

All right. Do you need me to turn around?

Yes, sir. Put your hands down on your back.

Sir, you're being placed under arrest.

Why, sir? You're being placed under arrest for DUI.

Watch your head.

People that get arrested for DUI. A lot of them don't think that they should be

here. I only had two beers, is the famous line.

I have a gentleman that I caught doing an 80 and a 50, but his driving pattern

was erratic.

He was paired intoxicated, and then he doesn't have a driver's license on top

that. The reason why he doesn't have a driver's license is because it was taken

away for a DUI preview.

All right.

Hey, Jonathan.

I'm also a state -certified breath test operator. Can you provide me a breath

sample? Last time I didn't give you guys a breath sample, you guys penalized me

a lot.

If I do refuse, what happens then?

Well, if your driver's license has already been previously suspended for

refusal, it'll be an additional 18 months.

Yeah, I'll do it then.

Okay.

All right, come this way.

Close this.

All right, we're going to go right in here.

There.

Hey, sir.

Where were you going?

I was heading to a interview.

Oh, yeah?

Did you get it?

Yeah, I did. That is fantastic. When do you start?

I would have decided tomorrow.

Well, you still can.

I'm not going to tell them. If they find out it's the Dr. D line, that's coming

from you.

I can't afford to be here.

I have an almost three -year -old and an almost one -year -old.

Now you can go ahead and stand up for me.

Nice, deep breath.

Continuously blow until I tell you to stop, okay?

Go ahead.

Blow, blow, blow, blow. Keep going. Keep going.

Now, those samples are acceptable.

Your sample is a point.

203.

You are more than twice the legal limit.

With Virginia Beach being a large tourist destination, people come here to

loose and, you know, have a good time on vacation.

And we do tend to get a lot of public intoxication with the tourists.

Just give us an idea.

What

brings

you in here tonight?

I have no idea because nobody told me anything.

Officer, what's your name?

Excuse me, what's your name?

Exactly, they're ignoring me because they're wrong.

Hey, shut up.

He's my co -worker.

What do you do for work? I can't tell you that. Okay.

Have you ever been arrested in Virginia before?

No. I'm from Texas.

Denver. I'm here on work.

How long have you been in Virginia Beach?

Two weeks.

We were just fighting.

We had two years.

Rocking down at the Philadelphia game.

Went to the beach.

We didn't resist.

We didn't fight them.

I was getting into it. I was telling him he's a

little bitch. So they bring me in here and my co -worker here for nothing.

Going to jail for telling that gentleman you wanted to kill him.

That's just... Hey, uh, excuse me, officer. What am I being charged with?

Public intoxication.

I was being threatened with a knife and they wanted to arrest me for being drunk

and protecting myself.

That don't make no sense.

You didn't know that person? No, I didn't know. I tried to help him out.

People in Texas, we help everybody.

He asked for some money.

We offered him money, and he's like, oh, get the fuck away from me. He pulls out

a knife, and he sees us arguing with the guy.

You know, we got to defend ourselves.

Why don't you ask them how come they didn't arrest the guy with the knife?

How come y 'all didn't arrest the guy with the knife?

Hello?

Real quiet right now.

Have you ever been in trouble in Texas?

Many years ago, but, you know, I live a straight life. You know what I'm saying?

I can't say no to him. Don't pull his knife on me.

And then I went here by the side of the bridge.

But, okay.

How long have you been on any of that?

A year.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Can I stand up, face the wall?

Have you ever been to jail before?

No. First time?

Yes. You've never been arrested in this county before?

No.

The first time. If somebody

comes into custody, we want to make sure that we can provide whatever kind of

support we can for them.

But at the same time, we also remind them that, hey, they're here for a

I mean, this isn't a vacation. I don't buy any means. They're here because they

did something wrong.

What's that like being in handcuffs, Constance?

When they put them on, not so fun.

If it's the first time in jail, you got to get all the information. And we still

have to confirm that they've never been booked somewhere else. So the process

behind that alone can take a lot longer.

Pat me down. I'm not doing nothing.

Pat me down.

Have you ever been here before?

No. You wear that.

Got anything on your mouth close to your jaw?

Pat me down.

I'm not, no.

Pat me down. I'm not doing nothing. My legs are split apart.

My hands are right here. Pat me down.

I was just about to go down.

I was driving a little faster, and I was passing through the road. And he had,

like, through his lifetime, I didn't see his life. But from his perspective, I'm

running, trying to do some crazy stuff, and I really was driving fast.

Go ahead and stand on the floor real quick.

Put your feet apart.

Search me!

I'm not doing anything!

Hold your right hand.

And as long as you're chill, don't go back. All right.

I'm not doing anything. I'm using the freedom of voice.

This job takes it. How do you go ahead and have a seat?

Voice, speech, whatever the fuck y 'all want to call it. And y 'all ain't giving

it to me.

I'm upset with myself. I'm driving fast.

Being a little irresponsible.

For a first -timer, they're usually more timid, more scared because they have no

idea what's going on.

We want to make sure that they're not going to be incredibly intimidated,

so we just have to do what we can to try to help shut down what's going on and

then go with it from there.

It's your first time in any jail, right?

You're wrong. What am I doing? Have you ever been to a juvie at all?

I've never had anything to do with it. What can I do? My hands are up. What can

I do? What can I do?

What can I do?

I'm up against the wall.

God damn it.

I ain't got no conscience, bitch.

Some of those violent behaviors you'll see is a lot of the times they'll try to

either cause an episode or believe that they can get themselves at the hospital

so they don't have to be in jail.

But then there are some people that just recently took drugs.

and they become a little bit more unpredictable because you don't know how

drugs are going to affect them.

The

goal

is to try to reduce the situation to where we can have them be able to

with us and be able to get... through the process so we can get them housed or

help them get filled out.

Written up for approximate 90 miles per hour. Made the situation a little worse

by possibly engaging in street racing with other vehicles.

And he also did appear to be evading, driving recklessly afterward as he was

being pursued.

What about, like, your car tonight? Did it get impounded? Yeah, it did get

impounded.

I went to see my car for a while, but that's probably what I need.

I need to humble myself.

I work in traffic control.

That's why I'm disappointed in myself.

Two inches of gas, but I've got to take it back.

It's not good.

All right, go ahead and stand up for me, bud.

Go ahead and have a seat right here.

He will be getting an enhanced DUI. He's had more than two beers, basically.

That's what it boils down to.

He had to come off the street.

This is the second DUI. The third one, within a

10 -year period, is a felony charge.

He still falls under a misdemeanor charge.

I went to a training course when I was 19, and they just kind of

taught me how to do basic cooking techniques.

and rather than go to school i did that the job that i just got like i'm like

one of the highest paid people there like anything that could be made i could

make it sure your kids love that that you made delicious i wish they loved it

they want chicken

There's a lot going on in my life right now, and this is one thing that I exist

on.

His bond status was under his own recognizance, so as long as he had a

driver with a valid driver's license in Virginia, he didn't come pick him up.

I feel

disappointed

in the law system.

Why would a guy pull a knife out of me and they arrest me because the guy was a

knife? And arrest the public intoxication. They've already gone for a

magistrate. No, I'm trying to explain the situation.

If I put another knife on you, what are you going to do?

Oh, yeah, I don't know. I've never had that happen.

Oh, I did.

But the Virginia Police Department wants to arrest a victim instead of a guy

that has a knife.

That don't make no sense.

What's your age?

13. 13? Cool. Yeah.

Put these up.

Virginia Beach is a resort type city, so the tourist population makes up a large

part of Virginia Beach.

You have to take into account that this may be the worst day for someone, so

that's where their emotions are, and that's why they're loud and screaming.

But, you know, for us, it's just Monday.

500 cash, but I mean, hell, I'm not even from here.

I'm going to try to call somebody, but obviously I'm not from here, so they

$500 cash here up front when I'm not from here.

They don't care.

Gone holsters. All they care about is that badge. They don't give a fuck about

nobody.

So, they leave me.

Matt?

Yeah?

What's that shitty word for it?

I'm calling my mom, even though she didn't touch it.

But I don't know. I don't know how the fuck she's going to get over here and

it because they said they got to pay the hearing in person.

get those numbers from your phone yeah please i don't even know who's gonna pay

me five hundred dollars if you don't have anyone they uh pay the bond for us

get a hold of bonding so what's that uh bondsman easily charge a percentage and

they'll go ahead and post the remaining amounts it'll get you out

I got money.

I can pay him right now.

But they don't want that.

What will happen if you can't pay him, Ron?

There ain't no can.

I'll pay him up.

Can you look right here?

March off with your right hand thumb.

You got anything?

Come on up here. Take your picture real quick.

Start with your right hand.

Perfect.

I'm going to put the feet in the red.

Face up here. Take your head off.

Good luck, man.

What do you think is going to happen?

Well, I know my license isn't going to hurt a little bit.

And I know it's going to affect my job.

Hopefully, I can persevere.

Go ahead. Right there. Oh, you've been here before?

30 years ago.

Do you see a lot of return of rescue?

Oh, yeah.

Have you ever been here before?

Yes, I have. I see a lot of familiar faces here.

It

was

my mom's car, though.

I did take it without permission.

My mother reported stolen, so I guess they still have that felony right now.

When you got arrested tonight, what were you doing?

Certainly making a medication.

I just happened to be at the property.

I just happened to be at the property all the time.

And there was an incident that happened there recently, I guess, and that's why

they were there. But I wasn't aware.

I got locked in there and they immediately canceled.

So I think they canceled for, like, I don't know, probably two hours.

Yeah.

I'm not working

now. I was actually applied at FedEx, but they do pat my back in the head

morning.

Oh, yeah.

Well,

you had one felony warrant.

And one, two, three. And then you had three misdemeanor warrants.

So, yeah, you will stay unless you bail out.

How much is my bail? Your bail total is $82 ,000.

Your bail total is $82

,000. That's your receipt. Your booking number's up top, and that lists your

property and clothing on there, okay?

If you don't bail out, then you will be going to court tomorrow.

The severity of the charge would affect the bail amount if they had, like, more

than one count. So if they have five counts, then whatever that bail amount

we've timed it by five.

Okay. All right. Thank you. Sorry. No problem.

I'm going to try to call my mom.

No, but I'm not sure.

Okay. Thank you.

Did you tell my mom I was in jail?

Tell my mom it's about the freaking BMW, like how they want to charge me for a

felony because they say it's a stolen vehicle. But how is it a stolen vehicle?

It was my mom's car.

She probably needs to show it to court and tell them not to press the... I

know what she needs to do. She needs to clear that up for me, dude, because

that's ugly.

Tell her to bail me out, please.

Okay? Give her money. If you have any, give her the money so she can bail me

out, please.

Okay, I love you. Bye.

He said my mom was at my grandma's house, and he's going to take it there,

guess they'll discuss there if they can bail me out.

Hiya.

Can we start with you right now?

Basically,

it's like an update.

You can get new tattoos, new scars, new hairstyle.

How many times have you been printed here?

I don't know, like 10?

A little more than me? Yeah, for sure, 10.

And then you're going to look right up there at that camera.

Are you living with your mom right now?

Yeah, I usually stay at my mom's house.

My kids and my mom.

I have five kids.

I have two older daughters. They're out of the house already, and then I have

three younger kids.

26, 25, 16, 15, and 13.

Here's your badge. You can go on back out there and wait.

Okay, thank you.

Dealing with drunk people is pretty much trying to make it as easy as possible.

Make it streamlined, kind of coast on through as long as they're doing what

need to do as long as they're functional and able to get the process done.

Keep moving and trying to make sure that they get to where they need to be.

All right, turn your head and leave those numbers on the door.

This is a part of the process that you're getting to know.

Someone has something to pick you up.

How are you going to make it back to the hotel?

I should be picked up by someone to take me back.

Do you have any

regrets of how tonight went?

The process of all the arrests were nothing.

We're from Texas.

They handle things a lot more civilized.

Here, they just don't give a shit.

Old place like Texas, man. All the days.

I started drinking when I was 11.

Just having that alcohol in my hand makes me feel like I can go through the

And now I'm kind of to the point where I say, why am I still drinking?

But I do it so regularly, and I don't know what it's like to not be doing it.

I've been through a lot of different addictions where I've defeated it. I've

done crack cocaine. I've done all types of things, and I've won.

And now this one is kicking my ass, and I don't know how to stop.

All right, Johnson, step up here for me real quick.

This is your booking card. It says your charges. You got to write for DUI.

In violation of commercial driver's license, your total bond is $1 ,500.

Just go to this cell right here.

Take a piece of phone.

This is the collect phone? Collect phone. Pick up the phone. Hit one for

English, one for collect phone.

Put in that PIN number and then dial whatever number you need to, okay?

I'm going to put my wife.

Hopefully, I can actually post bond and leave.

I'm sorry, man. I'm so sorry.

I know, I know. I didn't mean to do it myself.

I'm sorry. I messed up.

I messed up feeling the voice. I'm sorry.

How are the boys doing?

He's a guy.

Hey.

Is it good tomorrow?

Well, I don't know.

That money that's in my household, that money goes towards taking care of my

kid.

Well, what we're going to do is I'm going to wait until my arrangement

morning and try to go from there.

Ready? Ready?

Go ahead and take a seat.

Have you been arrested in South Falls County before? Nope.

Do you know what charges you're brought on?

So we're going to cite you out on them. That means when you're getting released,

we're going to give you a court date to go to, okay?

Make sure to go to court, otherwise the warrant will be issued for your arrest.

So you will get that paperwork once you're out the door, okay?

So here is a copy for right now, okay?

You're going to head straight back to the tall counter on your right, okay?

So you have a copy of everything you're going to sign. It's just your coordinate

showing you're being released on the start, okay?

I think

it's more like a mental thing, like being in there,

more like in your head, kind of like getting yourself in trouble.

You just make yourself think a lot, like you reflect a lot.

I think that's been like the first hour I reflected off of like the gas pedal

and like driving because I've never been a bad person. So for me, that wasn't

hard. I think I took more of the time like just sitting there kind of

on just like my own personal life and where I could probably be better like

because I took that custody of my brother when I was like 18. So like for

that was kind of what hit me hard. I was like, damn, I probably have everything

I could have done.

He's going to see me get arrested for driving.

I'm going to start walking. I'm going to start walking and I'm going to

honestly, I'm going to walk for like a good hour and just let myself think.

I mean, I have, but nobody, I mean, they say they aren't going to have cash up

front. Like, I'm not from here. They wouldn't even take my cash or my credit

card or nothing.

Like, I can't have nobody come down here personally, you know?

He was charged with disorderly conduct, and we can't get a bondman to come pick

him up.

He's probably going to end up going upstairs to see the judge tomorrow, and

he'll probably make bond at that point.

But you really got to get ready to go upstairs for $50.

For $50?

It's $10 ,000 to $500.

What?

Yes, sir.

Nobody told me that.

I should have probably called one of my co -workers.

Yeah. but i don't i don't have the right number unless i you know got my phone

you know did they let you get numbers out of your phone i mean they did but i

didn't i mean i didn't know it was like i just thought it was like 500 straight

up like you know i mean let me see okay come on up hey star is this phone still

out there or did they send it to property i'll have to check wait you're

me

We initially let him get his phone. He had some numbers that were from some

people from Texas, but they couldn't do anything for him. Try to get as many

numbers as you can because this is the last chance I'm going to get your phone.

So he's trying to get his boss to come up here and help him out.

You guys have a seat on that first table.

I think that this happened for a reason.

I woke up and it's so strange. We're playing a movie on the PV and it was my

son's favorite movie.

And I said to myself, I can't come back here ever again. I need to be home with

them.

I'm going to start going to AA meetings when I get out of here.

I'm ready to do it.

I just want to get home as quickly as possible to be with my family.

Violation of a commercial driver's license.

They'll put the bond at $25 ,000.

Would you like the public defender's office today?

Yes.

From my point of view, it definitely didn't go well.

$25 ,000 for bail, I feel like, is a lot.

With the bondsman, that would be $2 ,500.

And I honestly don't have that right now, especially being that I probably

be going home to no job. Were you able to communicate with the job?

I was not able to communicate with them. I'm pretty sure that that job is not

going to be there now.

Bye, Jonathan. Thank you.

Good luck to you.

Have you been housing for her?

Yeah, I couldn't respect.

I said, I'm going to get dressed out, and so I guess they're taking me to a

housing.

How can you do all of this?

This has to be done.

Thank you. Thank you.

So who's getting you?

I had some news about your shoe. Yeah, I don't even know. I think you stepped in

dog poop.

Oh, man, that must be bad. It's probably like human poop.

I smell an odd smell coming from the property, and usually I like to double

-check over things, make sure before it goes back there that it doesn't have

anything on it. I tried to clean it off, but I put it in the bag. All right,

cool deal.

So collect your dry items out of here.

Did they tell you about that part of the job when you become a sheriff?

um it's definitely something you don't think about but in the back of your mind

you're always kind of aware that you might encounter something like that you

put them on if you want well shoes everything oh no i put my shoes on okay

okay okay all right you ready to go out the door all

right so it's going to be straight through and the door's going to open for

so you got to put that even uh come back

Yeah, I'm going to. I mean, why not?

All right, man. Have a good one.
