00:00How would you feel if the bum didn't pay back his daughter?
00:03If the agreement was to pay back that money...
00:04No, no, not agreement. I'm not asking you that.
00:07I'm saying to you, how would you feel as Heather's father, who works hard for her money,
00:15if the bum took off in the wind and didn't give her her money back?
00:20Would you feel as if he had done the right thing or the wrong thing?
00:24It would depend on their agreement.
00:25No, it wouldn't. Not for you.
00:27You wouldn't say, well, Heather, did you have an agreement with him as far as paying you back?
00:32Did he say he would pay you back?
00:34Did he say he would pay you back on Tuesday and Thursday or the first Friday of every month?
00:38He didn't say that, but, you know, we were together.
00:40We really thought we had a future together, so I trusted him that he would give it back to me.
00:45I'm asking you, sir, as a grown-up man who has a child,
00:51how would you feel if Heather's bum didn't pay her back?
00:55Not yet.
00:55Right. Well, that's the way she feels.
00:57And I don't know whether she has a mother or a father or a sister or a brother.
01:01She feels as if you're a con.
01:03How much after she put the $5,000 into your account, how much after, did you say it's not working out?
01:12How many years after?
01:14I never said that.
01:15How many... How did it happen?
01:17I was in Africa.
01:18I went back to Africa.
01:20The consulting job that I have now is in Africa.
01:22While I was there, she saw a posting on Facebook that said that I was engaged.
01:28Now, keep in mind, we were not in...
01:30Just a second.
01:31So, this is what you're telling me.
01:33Okay.
01:33She saw a posting that you were with somebody else...
01:37Right.
01:37...in Africa.
01:39Okay.
01:39Well, I mean, it was a fake...
01:40Keep in mind, we were not in a monogamous relationship.
01:42Don't interrupt me.
01:44Was it a fake posting?
01:45Did somebody Photoshop your picture?
01:47It's not on there anymore.
01:48No, just a second.
01:48Did somebody Photoshop your picture?
01:50The information...
01:51Is my question.
01:51The information was incorrect.
01:53I'm not married.
01:54I was not engaged.
01:55If you were with somebody else...
01:58Yes, I was.
01:59And she...
02:00What period of time elapsed between the time she gave you the money, which was in March...
02:06Yes.
02:07...until you went to Africa and were dating?
02:11Dating.
02:12Your Honor.
02:12I just...
02:13Question, answer, dating.
02:16How much after March was the Facebook post up with you and somebody else dating, is all
02:23I asked you.
02:23Was it a month, two months, three months?
02:26Six months?
02:26Probably four months, five months, maybe.
02:28How many months?
02:29It was in August this year.
02:30And when had you gone to Africa?
02:33In May.
02:34Oh.
02:34So, March to April, April to May.
02:36So, two months later, you went to Africa.
02:39Mm-hmm.
02:40You didn't see the posting until August.
02:42But two months later, you went to Africa.
02:44That's where my consulting business is.
02:46Quiet.
02:47Quiet, Heather's father.
02:49Now, you want to give me your version of the $5,000?
02:53You thought that this was going to be easy, Mr. Shofs?
02:55You thought you had the story down pat?
02:57Never underestimate Officer Bird here.
03:01Never underestimate him.
03:03You're going to be very sorry you didn't pay her the money.
03:05Very embarrassing for you.
03:07Very.
03:07You look like a straight-up guy who's probably worked all his life as a child, probably has
03:13a host of people who respected him.
03:17Now, you want to give me the conversation about the money fast?
03:20Yes.
03:21You're at breakfast.
03:22I was at breakfast.
03:22You've just had a romantic evening.
03:24And?
03:25He asked me, you know, for the money.
03:27No.
03:28And...
03:28But he also...
03:29I want you to tell me what he said to you and what you said to him.
03:32He said, I don't want to go to my first wife for money because there's too many strings
03:37attached.
03:38So, if you could, you know, lend me the money, it would be great.
03:42And I said, I'll see what I can do.
03:44When I, you know, got home and I see that I took a cash advance from my credit card.
03:50You took a cash advance from your credit card.
03:50From my credit card because I don't have the money laying around, Your Honor.
03:53I'm a single mom.
03:54I don't have that kind of money laying around.
03:57So, I...
03:58Can I see the cash advance from your credit card?
03:59Yes.
04:01And this is...
04:02Can I show you the deposit on the account as well?
04:05I deposit cash there.
04:06It says purchases, $5,800.
04:13Where is the slip for the purchases?
04:15No, that's the cash advance fee there, $290.
04:19There was...
04:19No, it's not purchases.
04:20It's cash advance.
04:21Oh, I got it.
04:22I see it here.
04:23He paid you back some of the money.
04:24Is that right?
04:24Yes, he did.
04:25Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $4,600.
04:28That's all.
04:28Step out.
