00:00 So one day, I'd finished early.

00:03 Now Florida's too big, you don't walk in Miami or Florida, it's too big.

00:07 Everybody drives.

00:09 Me, English man, walking along the road going, "La la la, la la la."

00:14 It's like 90 degree here.

00:17 "Look at the size of that, well that's big."

00:20 Like an idiot.

00:22 And then I thought, "Do you know what, this belt, I'm going to take this belt off."

00:24 Took the belt off and it's black.

00:26 Wrapped it up, had it in my hand.

00:29 Next thing I know, I'm walking along the road, I've heard, "Woo, woo."

00:33 I thought, "Wow, old Bill."

00:35 "Don't make a move."

00:37 Like, "Don't make a move."

00:38 I put a hot one in the back of your head, I'm going, "Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo."

00:41 "What's going on, what's going on?"

00:43 "Get on your knees, get on your knees."

00:45 I was like, "I'm getting on my knees."

00:47 Apparently, someone had made a phone call,

00:51 and said, "There's a black man walking along the street with a concealed weapon."

00:55 The fact that he was black,

00:57 looked like I was carrying a gun just openly in the street.

01:01 And someone had reported it, so they arrested me for that.

01:05 During the arrest, they've asked me for my ID, and I thought, "Oh, here we go."

01:09 Pulled out the ID, "It's not me."

01:13 I've gone, "Yeah, it's on top now."

01:15 Checked it, it's turned out he's wanted for cocaine-fleeing charge from the Bahamas.

01:25 You're under arrest, you're going to jail.

01:27 You're under arrest, you're going to jail.
