00:00Stop doing gramps!
00:02We're good, we're good. I love you guys.
00:07You're sitting on a throne of lies and she's wearing a crown of deceit.
00:10Hey!
00:13I hate drugs.
00:14You hate drugs?
00:15Yes, sir.
00:18Get on the gramps! Get on the gramps!
00:22Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.
00:25All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
00:31So I've been with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for eight years.
00:34Before that I was in the military.
00:36Easy transition coming from the military to law enforcement.
00:39I fell in love with how street crimes operates,
00:41and so that was my goal as soon as I got here,
00:44learning the street crimes ways.
00:46I've been happy ever since.
00:50So we've got a vehicle, a suspicious vehicle,
00:51that's at the gas station up here.
00:53It's linked to a diesel theft.
00:55They fled from units earlier, actively being watched right now.
00:59pumping fuel.
01:00So we're going to try to run in here and try to grab them.
01:02Oh, yeah.
01:03Hey!
01:04How's it going?
01:05How's it going?
01:06How's it going?
01:07How's it going?
01:08How's it going?
01:09How are you playing?
01:10How's it going?
01:11How's it going?
01:28Watch the car.
01:29Watch the car.
01:30Watch the car, watch the car.
01:31Yeah, yeah.
01:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:34Come on, slow, slow.
01:36Come on.
01:39All right, if you're not 97, slow it down.
01:41We've got everybody 10-15 right now.
01:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:46You good?
01:47Yep.
01:48Bar's cleared, bar's cleared.
01:54Good?
01:55Yep.
01:55All right, hop up.
01:59Stand up.
01:59Stand up.
02:02Good job.
02:03Hey, stand up.
02:05All right, stand up.
02:08Stop being stupid.
02:09Hey, eso no va a aguantar.
02:10Calma se.
02:11Wallet, ready?
02:17Stop.
02:18Damn.
02:18Yeah, bar's cleared.
02:21Does he speak English?
02:22Habla ingles or no?
02:24Do you use Spanish?
02:25Go.
02:26¿Qué pasó?
02:26¿Qué estás haciendo?
02:27Tengo falta, falta aire.
02:29Pero calma te.
02:30Uh-huh.
02:31He's saying he can't breathe, but.
02:32Tengo falta aire.
02:33¿Donde?
02:34¿Qué pasó?
02:34Por favor, por favor, necesito...
02:35Stand up.
02:36Uh, so we got the two 10-15s that tried to get away from us reverse.
02:45We ended up pinning the car.
02:47Guy tries to hop out the passenger seat where he was got.
02:50And their lookout in this vehicle was also approached by us and arrested.
02:54You need help with anything or are you good?
02:55I'm good, thanks.
02:56Okay.
02:57So, I saw first vehicle description, white Suzuki, black rim on the back of it, possibly
03:03going north on 301 at this point from the previous gas station that they were committing
03:07a theft from.
03:08As I was going west here on Bloomingdale, ended up scanning for the vehicle.
03:13Here are these two close by gas stations.
03:17As I looked into the parking lot, I could see the white Suzuki right there over the pumps,
03:22matched the description of the vehicle that they gave.
03:24So I told the UCs, A, confirm that tag.
03:26They got in here, confirmed it, and it was, in fact, the same vehicle that was just committing
03:29the diesel theft down south.
03:30Just down the street, yeah.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Okay.
03:33You came in at what point?
03:34So I was on Bloomingdale staging until we had enough units, and then I think you're
03:38the one that pulled behind me, right, in the unmarked?
03:40Yep.
03:41And then when Clarity said they were fixing to leave, that's when they decided to move in.
03:44So since I was in the marked car, I went up front, turned my lights on.
03:49You could see there was something underneath the car, like it was still actively pumping.
03:53Okay.
03:54And as soon as I turned my lights on, he kicked it in reverse and then ended up back there.
03:59I think that's when Fredo came in and tried to stop, try to get behind it, but he pulled
04:04out in front of him, Jay turned, and he was able to stop the vehicle that way.
04:08Yeah.
04:09He immediately threw it in reverse, aggressively flying in reverse.
04:11He nicked my front bumper as I was trying to get that rear block.
04:15He went over the curb, took out the stop sign, and then that's when Fredo ended up making
04:18him contact with here.
04:19Yeah.
04:20That was a good call.
04:21So basically, these guys were parked over the pumps, taking gas out of the ground.
04:27They have the vehicles rigged to suck fuel out of the ground and into these massive tanks.
04:33And then they usually work in pairs.
04:34So they usually have a car that's on the lookout for law enforcement.
04:37And then the other car just parks there and takes as much fuel as they can.
04:40Last week, they were doing the same thing down in Apollo Beach area where they got 385 gallons.
04:46Okay.
04:47What you can do with this is you estimate that looks like 50-gallon containers at least.
04:52So you got at least either that or 100 gallons.
04:55You probably have 200 gallons.
04:56They look like the semi-truck fuel tanks.
04:57Yeah.
04:58I don't know if that's 50 or even more, but that's at least 100 gallons of fuel right there.
05:03Okay.
05:04All right.
05:05Hey, I got a question.
05:08Just quick questions.
05:09Um, what were you doing tonight?
05:14What are you planning today?
05:15Why are you here doing this today?
05:23I couldn't hear you.
05:24I'm sorry.
05:25What did I explain to you?
05:27You explained to me, but...
05:29That's right.
05:31But why?
05:33Because I had to pay.
05:34And then.
05:36They charge me other things.
05:39They leave me there.
05:41They don't want to give me the phone number.
05:43My phone is there.
05:44I told you.
05:45I don't have it.
05:46Because at the end...
05:47But I put my family ahead.
05:49What are you saying?
05:50He's saying that, you know, he's here from Cuba, and he's trying to make extra money,
05:55and he's got some debts that need to be paid.
05:57And so, he's committing the diesel theft so that he can make the extra money to pay his debts.
06:04Trying to help his family.
06:06Okay.
06:07This...
06:08This...
06:09This...
06:10This...
06:11This...
06:12This...
06:13This is not my...
06:14My...
06:15My...
06:16My house.
06:17No...
06:18No, no, no nothing.
06:19Oh, fish.
06:20Is he saying that none of the stuff that he has, his possessions here, are his?
06:23I guess whoever he's selling...
06:25Selling it to is providing everything.
06:26Yeah.
06:27So, that's why...
06:28Maybe obligated to him.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Do the work for him, because he has nothing.
06:32At that point, we got the two counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement.
06:37We got the...
06:38Resist without.
06:39The fleeing to elude.
06:41The possession of the unlawful fuel bladder.
06:44And then the...
06:45A couple of other ones that are pending right now.
06:47All right.
06:48Just let him know that he's going to go to Hotel ORJ, and we're going to go from there.
06:52Right now, my assignment is a detective with the gang suppression unit.
06:56So far, it's one of the best assignments I've had in my entire career as a law enforcement officer.
07:01Right now, in my spare time, I actually like to golf a lot.
07:04I golf probably once or twice a week.
07:06I have a buddy on the agency who's been golfing a little bit longer than me,
07:09but he's feeling the pressure that I'm going to be a little better.
07:11So, we got some intel that a subject that's known to sell narcotics and sell firearms
07:18is in the area of a local shoe store.
07:21So, we're blocking the car in and just waiting for this subject to get out.
07:24We want to make sure that he doesn't get into the car because he likes to flee.
07:26So, I'm going to wait out here.
07:30Copy. Switching to the main.
07:33There he is. Red hat. Red hat.
07:46Drop the boxes.
07:47I got his other head.
07:51We're going to need two cups.
07:54You're still in PRCS, correct?
07:55Yes.
07:56All right.
07:57No, no, no.
07:58Don't be weird like last time, man.
07:59I got hurt.
08:00I know. You did that last time and you had like a quarter pound of dope on you.
08:03You got any firearms in the car?
08:04No, I don't have cars.
08:05No, you don't?
08:06No, that's weird.
08:07What about that Kia Rio?
08:08That's not mine.
08:09I just got one down the street.
08:10Let me see.
08:11Get off the keys for me.
08:12Get off the keys.
08:13My stomach's hurting, Jake.
08:14It's all right.
08:15I got you.
08:16He's doing the same thing.
08:17We know you again.
08:18Okay?
08:19Watch out.
08:20Stop.
08:21He's doing the same thing.
08:22He's got something on him.
08:25I got nothing on him.
08:26I got nothing on him.
08:27Go ahead, search.
08:28Grab that bandana.
08:29Under is good.
08:32I have nothing on him.
08:33I don't.
08:34He's been like six hours a day.
08:35I don't have a last time.
08:36I got the other side.
08:38Oh, God, you guys.
08:39I still have a problem, okay?
08:40Okay.
08:41Don't.
08:42Don't.
08:43Don't.
08:44I'll grab that one.
08:45Move your foot.
08:46Pat, stop doing that.
08:47Come on, let's go.
08:48Let's go, bro.
08:49Let's go, man.
08:50All right, I got you.
08:51Come on.
08:52Let's go.
08:53I got it.
08:54Let's move to the left right here.
08:56Let's move to the left, Pat.
08:58He's got a history of hiding, concealing a lot of stuff.
09:00He likes to do it underneath his stomach.
09:01The last time, unfortunately, he did it on his testicles
09:04and had about a quarter pound of methamphetamine.
09:07This time, he's got a lot of cash.
09:08He was walking just fine when he left the dollar store,
09:10but upon seeing us, all of a sudden, he's having a medical condition.
09:13Don't fall over.
09:14I don't know if I can catch you.
09:15It's only one of you.
09:16Like you said, I told you that's why I came out of the store.
09:18I was like dizzy, man.
09:19No, you came out of the store perfectly fine.
09:21I came out of the store.
09:22It's dizzy.
09:23Okay.
09:24Cool.
09:25So we're going to get you into the car, and you can relax and sit down, okay?
09:27Don't start all that.
09:28We'll put a second cuff on it.
09:29Don't.
09:30Don't.
09:31Yeah.
09:32I'm walking just from the store to here.
09:33I don't feel good, eh?
09:34All right.
09:35We're going to have you sit down, eh?
09:36Come on, Pat.
09:37Let's get you in the car.
09:38You should have left the dog in your car.
09:39He's in the car.
09:40He's in the car.
09:41All right.
09:42Dog's going to the pound.
09:43I'm going to have to.
09:45Hey, let me.
09:46I'm going to throw gloves on and just.
09:48Hey.
09:49I'm going to reach underneath you.
09:50You can search me.
09:51I don't got nothing down here.
09:52Okay.
09:53Just like last time, you don't have anything on you?
09:56Yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:58You got nothing down here.
10:00I got nothing down here.
10:01I got nothing down here.
10:02I got nothing down here.
10:03Ow, ow, ow.
10:04What are you doing?
10:05Stop, Pat.
10:06Do you steal some stuff?
10:07No.
10:08That's how you just carry stuff?
10:09In your general area?
10:10Have a seat.
10:11Pat, get in the car.
10:12Pat, get in the car.
10:13I don't feel good, eh?
10:14Huh?
10:15I don't feel good.
10:16Yeah, okay.
10:17You'll feel better in the AC.
10:18Let's go, Pat.
10:19You've been relatively decent compared to the last couple times.
10:23All right?
10:24Just sit in the car.
10:27Pat, let's go, bro.
10:28Let's go sit down, bro.
10:29I don't feel bad.
10:30I'm going to throw up.
10:31I'm going to throw up.
10:32All right, just sit inside real quick.
10:36Do we have these car keys?
10:37Cool.
10:38All right, so Pat is currently detained.
10:41We located his car, so now we're starting to search his vehicle.
10:45On him, he had a mess pipe in his pocket, and...
10:47He had one in the door pocket of the car.
10:48Yeah, the behavior you see with him is pretty consistent with whenever he gets contacted by law enforcement.
10:53He starts claiming medical issues and starts falling out.
10:57We got a little puppy around here.
11:00He said it wasn't his car.
11:01We got the keys that unlocked it.
11:03The keys were on him around his neck, so...
11:05There you go.
11:06So we located the Glock.
11:08If I'm not mistaken, Pat is a prohibited person.
11:10Multiple times over.
11:12Where was that at?
11:14That was in a little fanny pack in the back seat.
11:17Little Gucci cross bag.
11:19Pat's got a lot of history selling methamphetamine.
11:22He's habitually armed when he does so.
11:24The last time, he tried to avoid being detained by defecating all over himself.
11:28So each one of these is about an ounce of meth.
11:31It's all packaged for sale.
11:33And obviously, he's protecting his investment with the firearm here as well.
11:39All right, Pat. What's going on, man?
11:41It comes and goes. It's like...
11:43All right. Yeah, I know.
11:45Sometimes you fake it.
11:46Fake it to make it.
11:47You try to get out of contacting us with that.
11:49It's usually because when you guys rush up on me, it just gives me...
11:53It's so intense.
11:54I swear I had a bad seizure.
11:56All right. All right, Harry.
11:57Well, I'm glad you're feeling a little better.
11:59You are going to go off to Santa Rita, all right?
12:01To the jail.
12:02OK.
12:03All right, man.
12:04You got to stop hiding stuff under your sack.
12:06What's the deal with that?
12:08You don't think people go there and check it, huh?
12:10No. Yeah.
12:11Huh?
12:13Is that why you think nobody's going to stick their hands down there and check it?
12:16Mostly just for robbery.
12:17Robbery?
12:18Yeah, people get robbed a lot, you know?
12:20You think somebody's going to rob you of a bottle of oil?
12:22No.
12:23And hide it under your sack?
12:24Yeah.
12:25I stuck that in my side right here because I had to turn stuff in my hands.
12:28All right.
12:29You know they have bags for that.
12:30Yeah, .
12:31You didn't even think about asking for one.
12:32Yeah, if you go through the cash register, they'll give you a bag.
12:34Yeah, I know.
12:35But like I said, I haven't been feeling good this morning.
12:37After I have a seizure, I fell off.
12:39Hey, so you had a good amount of dope in your car.
12:42And you had some scales in that firearm, right?
12:45I know you tried to hide the keys from me when I was trying to grab them.
12:50I know that's your car.
12:52What's up with it, man?
12:53You still out here pushing dope?
12:54No.
12:55All right.
12:56You got to be cool with that, man.
12:57That stuff's dangerous.
12:58It's hurting a lot of people out here.
12:59Yeah, it is.
13:00You know?
13:01Especially meth right now.
13:02A lot of people are getting hooked on that and fentanyl real bad.
13:04All right.
13:05We're going to take your dope.
13:06We're going to take your gun and some of your money.
13:08And you're going to go to jail right now, all right?
13:10Yeah.
13:11All right, cool.
13:14Been on patrol going on four years.
13:17I had a little hiatus break where I was a narcotics investigator, which was really fun.
13:23It was kind of an educational experience to me.
13:27Because I got to learn how to investigate things at a little deeper level
13:31and how to talk to people during an investigation.
13:33Yeah.
13:34So I ran this tag on this vehicle in front of us.
13:38And it's saying that the registered owner has a suspended driver's license.
13:43So we're going to get out with him and try to figure out why he's driving on the suspended
13:47driver's license.
13:56How you doing, sir?
13:57You have any matters with the sheriff's office?
13:58You got your driver's license on you?
14:00Okay.
14:01Any guns, knives, weapons in the car?
14:02Yes, sir.
14:03Okay.
14:04Anything else get you in trouble, big guy?
14:05Yes, sir.
14:06There is?
14:07There is.
14:08What's in the car that could get you in trouble, man?
14:09Don't reach for nothing.
14:10What's in the car that could get you in trouble?
14:12An open container.
14:13Okay.
14:14What about that pipe right there in the middle, man?
14:15That tube.
14:16Okay.
14:17Do me a favor, because I don't want to waste your gas.
14:19Go ahead and shut your car off.
14:20Put your wallet and glasses on the dash.
14:23Okay?
14:24Is that the only two things that I need to be concerned about?
14:27All right?
14:28All right?
14:29Go ahead and step out for me.
14:30Okay?
14:31When you get out, just face the vehicle for me, all right?
14:33Any guns, knives, weapons on you?
14:34Yes, sir.
14:35Anything on you sharp that could get you in trouble?
14:37Yes, sir.
14:38Just put your hands on the hood.
14:39Now do me a favor, okay?
14:40I don't know you.
14:41Yes, sir.
14:42While I'm searching your pockets, do not reach off that hood
14:45or me and you are going to have some problems, okay?
14:46I understand.
14:47Okay.
14:49So I'm going to tell you why I pulled you over, okay, buddy?
14:51I ran your tag.
14:52Oh, we're done, sir.
14:53You are the registered owner, correct?
14:54Yes, sir.
14:55So your driver's license is suspended.
14:57Why?
14:58I'm going to explain.
14:59I'll speak out to you in just a minute, okay?
15:00I don't know why it's suspended yet, but we'll try to investigate
15:03that a little further to figure that out, okay?
15:06Earbuds.
15:07Okay.
15:08That's fine.
15:09Just remain where you are.
15:10Don't move, okay?
15:12Like I said, man, I don't know you.
15:14You don't know me, so...
15:15Absolutely.
15:16I don't want to give you any reason to...
15:18Do me a favor.
15:19Put your hands behind your back.
15:21We've got another deputy here.
15:22We're going to search your car.
15:23Yes, sir.
15:24Are you sure that's all I'm going to find that bong?
15:25Yes, sir, it is.
15:26No weed or anything in there?
15:27There is weed.
15:28There is weed?
15:29How much?
15:30Two grams.
15:31All right.
15:32So we're not talking about a large amount?
15:33No, no, no.
15:34It's personal use.
15:35Okay.
15:36Walk in front of my car and go to the passenger side, okay?
15:38Yes, sir.
15:39All right.
15:40And there's...
15:41They call it wax.
15:42Is it concentrated wax?
15:43Concentrate, yes, sir.
15:44Now that may be a problem, man.
15:46Car 346.
15:47Is that the wax you melt and then inhale it?
15:51Kind of like over one of those candle systems?
15:53Mm-hmm.
15:54I have a vape inside that I use it for.
15:56I feel like you've been very truthful thus far.
15:58You've told me about everything.
16:00You're going to find it whether I tell you or not.
16:02I'm going to do a probable cause search, right?
16:04Because you already explained to me that there's illegal narcotics in the vehicle.
16:07Today, I'm going to have to take your driver's license, okay?
16:10So now you know I'm driving on a suspended license, right?
16:14Yeah.
16:15Can you search me?
16:16Hey, follow it.
16:17No, I already searched.
16:19We're just going to sit you in there for the time being.
16:21All right.
16:22I'm going to get me some gloves on and check your vehicle.
16:27Here's what it looks like where he's going to have his marijuana and his THC wax.
16:36So far, that's all I've gotten.
16:39Some tobacco.
16:41Ah, so this is odd.
16:47It's like empty cigarettes where they can pack, I guess, whatever they want in it.
16:53I've never seen that before.
16:55Sounds like too much trouble.
16:57Mm-hmm.
17:00All right, this may be something.
17:03Yeah, that's not...
17:05What you got?
17:06That's probably not going to be good.
17:08I think that's probably crack or fentanyl.
17:11Yeah.
17:12We'll have to test that.
17:21Yeah, it's probably crack or fentanyl.
17:24He's down here wrapped up in his shirt.
17:28This is a marijuana grinder.
17:30All right.
17:33I'm going to test that container.
17:34Okay.
17:35Right now, though, I'm just going to test it to see if it's testing positive for fentanyl.
17:51What you can see here, fentanyl is an orange color, and immediately it turned orange.
17:58So that's going to be positive for fentanyl, which is a third degree felony for possession.
18:04All right.
18:06So the substance in that little container is fentanyl.
18:11Tested positive for fentanyl.
18:13It did.
18:14It did.
18:15That's why I've been sick.
18:16I swear to God, I've been sick for like three or four months now.
18:18I had no...
18:19That's why you got to be careful who you're buying these illegal drugs from on the street,
18:23man, because I'm going to tell you right now, man, firsthand experience in my line of work,
18:27these drug dealers are putting fentanyl on everything because it gets you addicted.
18:31I've been sick today.
18:32And if you've been using it and thinking it...
18:33I've been sick today.
18:34All right.
18:35So here's the deal, man, okay?
18:36We're going to go to jail, okay?
18:38You got to go to jail.
18:39That's a felony charge, okay?
18:41I'm going to secure the vehicle in this pet care parking lot.
18:45The other stuff, the bong, the mason jar.
18:47One question.
18:48Okay.
18:49The grinder.
18:50That was my dad's.
18:51Is there any way that I could keep that?
18:53No.
18:54Listen to me, man.
18:55Look, I understand sentimental value.
18:57I mean...
18:58Yeah.
18:59When you say, I mean, was your dad into the dope game too, man?
19:02Has your dad passed?
19:04I mean, I get it.
19:06It was your dad's.
19:07Well, I'm not upset about that.
19:09I have a lot running into my head right now.
19:11I got you.
19:12Well, look.
19:13I feel like the Lord's really looking out for it.
19:14Well, I'm cutting you several breaks, man.
19:15I can tell.
19:16Let me do this.
19:17Let me take the grinder.
19:18Let me turn in his evidence and let's get that away from you even if it was your dad's,
19:21okay?
19:22Because I don't want you having to...
19:23Because that's just going to put you in a pickle down the road.
19:25It is.
19:26I don't need you to get off the dope and get clean and all these things.
19:29Okay.
19:30I don't want to speak bad about your father.
19:32I don't know him, so I'm not.
19:33But at some point, we've got to break that chain, okay?
19:36Just hang tight, buddy, okay?
19:37We're going to take a little trip and I'll see you probably in about 20 minutes.
19:41Okay.
19:42Okay.
19:43132 in Bush.
19:44I've got him at gunpoint.
19:45Okay.
19:46Gunpoint.
19:47132 in Bush.
19:48Coverage code 3.
19:49Okay.
19:50Okay.
19:51We'll still send a code 3.
19:53Okay.
19:54We'll still send a code 3.
19:55Okay.
19:56We'll still send a code 3.
19:58All right.
19:59There we go.
20:04All right.
20:06We'll still send a code 3.
20:08We're gonna sit down right there, okay?
20:12I'm still�-
20:17You
