00:00of law enforcement. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
00:06So this past year, Metro got to celebrate its 50th anniversary of being a police agency in
00:11southern Nevada. It's pretty cool to be a part of history and to police a town that's so iconic.
00:17Every day here is always exciting. It's always never the same. It's just always something I
00:21always enjoyed, always wanted to do. It's crazy, pretty cool that I get to do it now.
00:25We received the information of a stolen vehicle. It seems that it was taken without
00:31vehicle's owner's consent, but we're going to get behind it and see what's going on.
00:37Okay, they're pulling into the ARCA now.
00:47We're going out on it. Occupants of the vehicle! Put your hands up!
00:55Driver of the vehicle, open the door from the outside!
01:02We'll explain to you in a second. Step out of the vehicle. Hands up, please.
01:06Yes, sir.
01:06Turn around. Turn around. Okay, walk back to us out. My voice.
01:12Oh, my shoes.
01:13Keep walking back. We'll get to something real quick.
01:16Keep walking back.
01:17Drive my shoes.
01:17Keep walking back. Just come over here real quick.
01:21What did I do?
01:23We'll explain to you in a second, ma'am.
01:24Yes, sir.
01:25Yes, sir.
01:26Ow. Oh, my God. Ow.
01:28Wait, I got you.
01:29There he is, sir.
01:30Yes, sir.
01:30All right, you guys ready for front?
01:32All right, front passenger!
01:36Step out of the vehicle. Hands up!
01:39I'm sorry. It's really hot.
01:43Turn around. Face away from us.
01:45All right, walk backwards. It's the sound of my voice.
01:48Keep walking.
01:48Keep walking.
01:49Right towards me. Right towards me.
01:51Stop. Stop.
01:52All right, left rear passenger. Open the door from the outside.
02:02All right?
02:03Here, take him. Take him.
02:04From my mother's car.
02:06All right, you good?
02:07Uh, so the vehicle's occupied three times. We were able to get him detained.
02:12Ran this girl's record, the driver. She's currently got a warrant for drugs and a limited extradition warrant out of my county.
02:18Thank you so much.
02:20This is the only pair of shoes I have for now.
02:22Yeah, yeah, those are my shoes.
02:24You drive one of these heels on?
02:25Huh?
02:26Uh, well, I just, I just met these guys through my sister. Oh, sorry.
02:29Okay. Um, and they were giving me a ride to Mendeley Bay where I was meeting some friends, and I don't really trust people to drive me, so I was all like, um, I'm gonna drive your car, sir.
02:39Okay. How long have you known them?
02:40I mean, I just met them yesterday.
02:42You just met them yesterday?
02:43Yeah, so my sister was all like, well, they can give you a ride. I was like, I don't let no one drive me, because, like, people are stupid drivers.
02:49Oh, yeah, I get you.
02:50So I was all like, can I drive your car? And I guess, because I was pretty, you know, I worked it to my advantage. She's like, sure, you can drive my car. I was like, okay, I just need you to drive my car.
02:58So these are your sister's, like, mutual friends?
03:00Yeah.
03:01How, so, like, do you even know their names? Like, you just met them today?
03:03Um, I know the bigger one, they call them Juice, and the skinnier one, they call them Tay.
03:07So you don't know, you don't know their actual name?
03:09I don't even know. I just needed to get to the birthday party.
03:11Okay.
03:12So whose car is it?
03:13Uh, I think the skinny one right there.
03:16Okay. Uh, you know, how do you get it?
03:18Uh, no.
03:19You know? Okay.
03:20So the reason why you guys are in this situation right now is because this car is stolen, man.
03:25Are you...
03:28You f***ing...
03:30Sorry.
03:31Let's, let's, let's worry about you right now.
03:34Okay, okay.
03:35He's got his own things to worry about, but I want, I'm not trying to try to talk to you about it, okay?
03:38Okay.
03:39Yeah, I am sorry. I had no f***ing idea about that.
03:41Okay.
03:42I was literally just at Park Avenue at my sister's apartment, trying to get to Mandalay Bay.
03:46I got my fitting suit on. I f***ed.
03:48Okay, give me one second, all right? We'll be right back.
03:54Who's Tania?
03:55My mother.
03:56Your mother? Okay.
03:57Uh, so this is her vehicle then?
03:59Yes.
04:00Okay, so you understand that your mom reported this vehicle stolen, right?
04:03No.
04:04Okay, so how long have you had your mom's car?
04:07A day, day and a half.
04:08Day and a half?
04:09Yeah.
04:10Okay, is there a reason why she reported stolen then?
04:12Like, did she, did you ask her for it? Did she let you borrow it, or?
04:15I was left, I had the keys. She left out of town. I had the keys.
04:19Okay, did she tell you like, hey, you can't take the car? Or did she, did you ask if she could borrow the car?
04:23I just, I didn't have, I didn't have no, no, regulation of anybody telling me not to use the car or nothing.
04:28Okay, because look, I haven't looked at when it was reported stolen, but she definitely reported it stolen.
04:32All right, I got it.
04:33Um, so we're, my partner's gonna figure it out real quick.
04:35But my next question is, right where you were sitting, there's a, there's a glass pipe that's used to smoke nanny.
04:40I didn't know exactly who was behind me, but I mean, I did not know nothing about it.
04:44So you don't know how I got there?
04:46Got down the street, no idea.
04:47Does your mom use drugs?
04:48No.
04:49Do you use, do you use drugs?
04:50I have in the past, yes.
04:51What was the last time you used?
04:53Last year?
04:54Last year?
04:55Yeah.
04:56Supposedly, you took the car, right?
04:59You're the one in possession of the car.
05:02There's now drugs and drug paraphernalia in the car, but it, none of it's yours.
05:08That, that's what you're telling my officer over here.
05:11I'm telling your officer that I was in possession of the car, yes, and I did not have that in my seat.
05:18So it magically appeared.
05:20Just fell out your pants, dude?
05:25No.
05:26That's over just a second.
05:28Well, you've been squirming around right now, so.
05:31I have to pee.
05:32I just told this officer.
05:34And while we're talking now, a little baggie of crystal meth came out, but you're going to tell me those are not your pants either?
05:40These are my pants, but.
05:41All right.
05:42At least we got that squared away.
05:43I asked you to be up front with me.
05:44So is there anything else on you now?
05:45Nothing at all.
05:46You can check, sir.
05:47I'm not going to watch you.
05:48I had that baggie that you did have.
05:49He's going to be going to jail today for the possession of official assistance, also for taking vehicle without owner's consent.
05:59Driver, to be honest, it sounds like she just got thrown in a loop today, driving a vehicle that's stolen.
06:06Hey, Rochelle.
06:07Like I said, all right?
06:08You're only going to jail today for your warrants.
06:09You're only going to go to jail today for your warrants for the drug warrants and the other warrant out of Knight County.
06:19Yeah, you have a warrant out of Knight County that they want to see you on.
06:22You're not going to get charged with a stolen vehicle today because, like I said, I can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knew this thing was stolen.
06:29Granted, there's other circumstances that may say otherwise, but I want to be generous to you today, all right?
06:35You have any questions for me?
06:36All right.
06:37Best of luck to you, all right?
06:38Yes.
06:40Transitioning from a military mindset into a I'm in the United States of America, I need to deal with citizens and my people sort of mindset is a big transition.
06:49But there's a lot of stuff that I took with me from the Israeli military.
06:52As a sniper, one of the biggest things was attention to detail.
06:55And then once I find out what just doesn't seem right, I need to ask the question of why.
07:02And that's why I love this job.
07:03So we're going to go ahead and stop this vehicle.
07:05It's going to be more of a reasonable suspicion stop.
07:07I've been doing this job long enough to where I've seen a lot of plates to include different countries.
07:11I've never seen this one before.
07:13So we're going to go ahead and stop and figure out exactly where this is from, if he has valid registration, if it's even allowed to be on the streets here.
07:21Hey, boss man.
07:22How you doing?
07:23I'm off society with Las Vegas Metro.
07:24So the reason I pulled you over, it's called a reasonable suspicion stop.
07:25I've never seen your license plate before.
07:26So do you have your license, registration and proof of insurance with you by chance?
07:27Sure.
07:28I appreciate you.
07:29How's your day going?
07:30Pretty well.
07:31Pretty well.
07:32Pretty well.
07:33Pretty well.
07:34The license, registration...
07:35Absolutely.
07:36Thank you so much.
07:37League of Indian Nations North America registration.
07:38Yes, sir.
07:39So I do...
07:40My father and I, we basically travel back and forth between Alabama and Las Vegas.
07:44Alabama?
07:45Yes.
07:46Okay.
07:47Alabama and Las Vegas.
07:48Okay.
07:49And so it's the Chihuahua Nation by way of the Alabomas.
07:50So is that what you mean?
07:51Is that also like why it says diplomat here or something?
07:52Correct.
07:53Okay.
07:54Interesting, man.
07:55You're teaching me something.
07:56I appreciate that.
07:57Absolutely.
07:58I'm always happy to learn a little something, something.
07:59So wait, Northwestern Territory in North America.
08:00Absolutely.
08:01Absolutely.
08:02Thank you so much.
08:03League of Indian Nations North America registration.
08:04Yes, sir.
08:05So I do...
08:06My father and I, we basically, we travel back and forth between Alabama and Las Vegas.
08:08Alabama?
08:09Yes.
08:10Okay.
08:11Okay.
08:12Okay.
08:13Okay.
08:14Okay.
08:15Okay.
08:16Northwestern Territory in Morocco.
08:17Can you explain that?
08:18So it's...
08:19My dad's better at explaining it, but basically it's...
08:22The League of Indian Nations is something that is originally something through Morocco
08:26because the Al-Moroccan Nation was the nation that began back in 1919 or 1918 treaty with
08:32America.
08:33So that's where the League of Indian Nations is registered.
08:36Okay.
08:37And then did you have insurance for the vehicle?
08:39I do, but my dad is the one that handles it.
08:43If he's able to text you a picture or anything like that, that works?
08:45Okay.
08:46So you work on that.
08:47I'll head back to my vehicle for now?
08:48Yes, sir.
08:49Awesome.
08:50Appreciate you.
08:51Hey, Sarge.
08:52I pulled over this vehicle because I saw the plate and I did not recognize it.
08:58And it belongs to a League of Indian Nations of North America.
09:04Okay.
09:05So it is fake.
09:06Bruh.
09:07So at first I thought it was...
09:08Okay.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Sorry.
09:11What's up, man?
09:12What's up, man?
09:13What's up, man?
09:14What kind of hot?
09:17Yeah.
09:18So obviously you can see the plates.
09:22I called Sarge.
09:23He said it hails from like a Noorish form of sovereign citizen.
09:26Okay.
09:27It's where they claim to be Native Americans and also have a Moroccan descent.
09:30He has a legitimate Nevada license and it's valid.
09:33But when I ran him, he also has a warrant for expired registration.
09:38Does he have insurance?
09:40He doesn't have insurance.
09:41He said my dad has it.
09:42I said, hey, if your dad texted over, I'm good with that.
09:44I'll go ask him.
09:50I ran it.
09:51It's not coming back stolen, but it's also not coming back to anything.
09:53This is a fake plate.
09:54Saw it, Samson, sir.
09:55So yeah, I saw it and then he was definitely driving away from me.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Um...
10:01Yeah.
10:02Okay.
10:03Cool.
10:04I'll come out.
10:07Sir, I didn't know what this was for.
10:10I was on my way to work.
10:11Okay.
10:12So if you want, I'm happy to work with you, bro.
10:15Okay?
10:16So right now you're going to be taken to jail and you're literally just going to see a judge
10:20and then the judge is going to kick you loose.
10:22It's just because you have a traffic warrant and you haven't taken care of it.
10:25I didn't know that I...
10:27Is there...
10:28I understand.
10:29It is what it is at this point.
10:30When it comes to the matter of the plate, okay?
10:33My sergeant who's been around a lot longer than I have explained the matter to me.
10:37So this is not valid here in the United States of America.
10:40Okay.
10:41It's not good for use and it has actually been used in many attempts to avoid paying registration
10:47and so on and so forth.
10:48Okay?
10:49So that along with your warrant together, it's just what we like to call a pattern.
10:54You understand?
10:56So I'm being honest with you just because you've been super cool with me and I want to be super cool with you.
11:02I'll keep your phone out of the sun for now.
11:03Okay?
11:04Uh, quick history lesson on the whole sovereign thing.
11:07The League of Indian Nations of North America does not exist.
11:10This guy is absolutely not a diplomatic agent or diplomat of any government.
11:14Okay.
11:15Um, it's a fictitious plate which is obviously a misdemeanor crime, unregistered vehicle, no insurance.
11:21Plus the warrant.
11:22He's going on the warrant.
11:23Yeah.
11:24So he'll get some citations.
11:25He'll go on the warrant.
11:26And that'll be him.
11:27The car's going to stay here parked.
11:28So, well, license plate's ours.
11:29Fake license plate's ours.
11:30Easy enough.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Sort of as evidence.
11:33There you go.
11:34All right.
11:35I'm going to talk to Patrick one more time and see what's up.
11:38Hey, Patrick.
11:39I know you mentioned that you kind of got roped into the whole transferring of gear and such with your dad.
11:44Can you explain that a little bit more to me?
11:46So I, my dad and I basically, I do sound and I do it for performances.
11:51I do them back and forth between here, Atlanta, Cincinnati.
11:55Like what type of performances?
11:56Um, I do the one man looping show.
11:59So I'm the one.
12:00What's a looping show?
12:01So I, I play all of the instruments myself and I loop them together with a looping pedal and I build the entire.
12:07Oh, it was kind of one of those where you're like, you're pressing the bass.
12:09You got a harmonica on your mouth.
12:10You got like, is it similar to those sorts of things?
12:12Similar, yeah.
12:13Okay.
12:14I work here at the tribal location called Nugu Cannabis Consumption Land.
12:17Okay.
12:18You said it's registered in the tribal land.
12:19I noticed that on the registration, on the paper that you provided, it said something that it's a derivative of Morocco.
12:24What can you, like, what do you mean by that?
12:26So the, um, original treaty that was made that created the United States that was signed in 1918 was between the Al-Morocan Empire and the United States of America.
12:35Okay.
12:36So the United States has an agreement with the Indian nations and that is registered with Morocco.
12:40Okay.
12:41So here in the state of Nevada, we don't recognize that as a legitimate registration.
12:46Most states here in the United States will not recognize a sovereign citizen plate for a vehicle.
12:51Okay.
12:52So I've been working downtown for a couple of years now.
12:56You just never know what you're going to get coming down here.
12:59Um, it can be anything from very violent crime to people running naked in the street.
13:05And that's what I love about coming down, down here is you really never know what you're going to get when you come into work.
13:10Uh, we're going to stop this dude.
13:14He just ran the stop sign.
13:16Nothing crazy.
13:17You didn't come to a complete stop.
13:18Do you have your license, registration, proof of insurance?
13:19Yeah, but I stopped at that sign, sir.
13:20Okay.
13:21Well.
13:22I've lived here for five years.
13:23I'm here.
13:24You got to come to a complete stop where your suspension settles, everything like that.
13:25You can't just roll through it.
13:26Okay.
13:27You have your registration.
13:28This is your vehicle?
13:29Yes.
13:30What'd you do to your car, man?
13:31Looks like you got a full-on topiary going on.
13:32I'm on a private island.
13:33Your private island.
13:34You're a private island.
13:35You're a private island.
13:36I'm here.
13:37I'm here.
13:38I'm here.
13:39I'm here.
13:40I'm here.
13:41I'm here.
13:42I'm here.
13:43You got your insurance, sir.
13:44Is it on your phone?
13:45Yeah.
13:46Can you do me a favor and just step back over to my car for me?
13:47We can talk over there.
13:48How long you been working on the car?
13:49Oh, ever since I got it.
13:50I was kind of bored.
13:51Since 2013?
13:52I'm driving a red convertible, and I'm like, this is a boring car.
13:54I put a little antenna, a token on it.
13:55I put a little antenna, a token on it.
13:56I put it on it.
13:57I put it on it.
13:58I put it on it.
13:59I put it on it.
14:00I put it on it.
14:01I put it on it.
14:02I put it on it.
14:03I put it on it.
14:04I put it on it.
14:05I put it on it.
14:06I put it on it.
14:07I put it on it.
14:08Red convertible, and I'm like, this is a boring car.
14:10I put a little antenna, a coconut tree on the antenna.
14:15Built a little island around it with a little guy and a sombrero.
14:18Yeah.
14:19And everybody was just like, this is so much fun.
14:21You put me in such a good mood.
14:22Oh, my gosh.
14:23Yeah.
14:24How many hours you got in that?
14:25Lots.
14:26You just hang out in front of the car for me.
14:28Appreciate it.
14:30All right.
14:31So I'm not going to give you a ticket or anything for rolling through the stop sign,
14:34but you do have to come to the complete stop.
14:36OK.
14:37Here's your information back.
14:38What else you got going on with your car?
14:39Well, once I get the top down, I have an active volcano in the back.
14:43You have an active volcano in the back?
14:44Yeah.
14:45I got a little fogger machine.
14:47Really?
14:48I had to take it out last year because it-
14:50Oh, it doesn't work right now?
14:51Well, I got cracks in it, and it started looking like the car was on fire.
14:54And I'm like, all right, that's not the effect I was going for.
14:57Right.
14:58I had a zip line for a little while.
15:00At the other end of the mirror, you pull a string and a little dew will come sliding down
15:05the zip line.
15:06You got this thing all decked out.
15:08Does it drive good?
15:09It does.
15:10Uh, the heater doesn't work.
15:12The air conditioner doesn't work.
15:13There's no stereo.
15:14Oh.
15:15Other than that, uh, it's doing okay.
15:18It's too bad your fog machine doesn't work, huh?
15:20I know.
15:21I know.
15:22I had a bubble machine, but-but bubble machines are annoying.
15:25It's basically just spread soap everywhere.
15:27Yeah.
15:28And I was like, okay, this is a big old mess.
15:30Never mind.
15:31Your gas mileage suffered from all this?
15:34A little bit?
15:35Yeah.
15:37Luckily, everything works, you know?
15:39I said, since this is my normal car, I have to make sure everything is actually working.
15:43Will you have a good day?
15:44You're the same.
15:45Thank you, officer.
15:48So I've been on the department for over five years now.
15:52I spent the majority of my career down here in Convention Center.
15:55It's a different style of policing, but it's enjoyable for me because you get to experience
15:59all walks of life that come visit Las Vegas from across the world.
16:02I ran out of responding to a possible burglary in progress.
16:06Um, the person reported reported that he's staying at an Airbnb at this location,
16:11and he found the light on inside the room, and the bedroom door is locked and can't get in.
16:16Can you call?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Okay.
16:19So what's going on?
16:20I was going home.
16:21Okay.
16:22Entering my home.
16:23Right.
16:24And I opened the light in the salon.
16:26And, like, the light on the bedroom was open.
16:27There was, like, on one of our bedrooms.
16:28And it was the first time.
16:29It's my friend's bedroom.
16:30So it was the first time the light was open.
16:31So I tried to open the door, but it was, like, blocked from the inside.
16:33Okay.
16:34The bedroom?
16:35Yes.
16:36Where were you today before you came here?
16:37In the wind.
16:38The wind?
16:39The encore.
16:40Like, the poker room.
16:41Okay.
16:42Okay.
16:43So you just came back?
16:44Yeah, I just came back.
16:45He was not with me.
16:46He was still in the poker room.
16:47So I was alone.
16:48So this is your first time back here today, though, right?
16:49Yeah.
16:50Yes, yes.
16:51All right.

17:23All right, look.

17:25Mm-hmm.
17:26Hall to the right.
17:27Yep.

17:42Okay, Kyle, hold this.
17:43I'll hold this kitchen right here while you guys clean up that hallway.
17:46Man, he's sitting at the bedroom door, right?
17:48This is all open.
17:50Here, I'm going this way.
17:51Check the door.
17:52Police department!

18:03If you're in that kitchen, make yourself known.
18:04Yeah.
18:05The door right.
18:06Closet right.
18:07You guys need another body?
18:08You guys good?
18:09I can already tell what it was.
18:10The door was wedged.
18:11And it felt to me exactly like he said when somebody was pushing on it.
18:12Right there.
18:13Look at that.
18:14But it wedges.
18:15Then it felt to me when you push it on it.
18:16And it just pops open.
18:17Oh, well.
18:18That's what he thought.
18:19Because of what he said, that's what I felt, too.
18:20It's just clear.
18:21Is this one on the left?
18:22Your room is already messy.
18:23Is this door right?
18:24On the left, yeah.
18:25Yeah.
18:26So push it.
18:27It feels like it's wedged.
18:28But it's just wedged.
18:29Let's push it...
18:30Push it on the foot.
18:31Yeah.
18:32It's getting- it's getting wedged.
18:33It feels like someone's pushing back against you, right?
18:34Yes, sir.
18:35I don't know.
18:36It's all right.
18:37So, I mean, it's better safe than sorry.
18:39You don't want to assume there's nothing.
18:40Because it really does feel like it's better safe than sorry.
18:42I mean, you don't want to assume there's nothing.
18:43Because it really does feel like someone is pushing against you.
18:54Right?
18:55No.
18:56Because it really does feel like someone's pushing against it.
18:58Yeah, yeah.
18:59Because that's what I was thinking.
18:59Do you agree with me?
19:00Yeah, yeah.
19:01It felt like there's someone in it.
19:02Yeah.
19:03OK.
19:03You're right.
19:04But does anything look different?
19:06Anything look missing?
19:06Or anything look askew from how you remember it?
19:09Well, look what I was here.
19:11Hey, at least you have the story to bring back home.
19:13Yeah.
