00:10Summers are brutal with the heat.
00:13It'll melt your shoes, your skin, it'll tear you up for sure.
00:18If it's too hot outside, the bad guys don't want to go out and commit crimes.
00:22When the nighttime comes, the freaks come out.
00:26Put your pants off!
00:28When that's undone, people think they can hide the bad stuff in the dark.
00:31This is the I don't believe in Facebook.
00:34One team, one family, we always pull together.
00:39Get a bunch of bags!
00:41What the f*** am I in handcuffs for?
00:45It's very dangerous.
00:46Backup isn't always closed.
00:50Get out of my emergency.
00:52You're gonna kill me.
00:54Assaults, robberies, shootings.
00:57It's lawless out here.
00:58It's gonna get hot tonight.
00:59A little bit of spice is always good.
01:01Stop having sex.
01:02Put your jeans on.
01:04Be in the wild, wild west, Tucson.
01:07It's the witching hour.
01:08Don't tap out on us yet, okay?
01:31Usual common practice for me, I like to just check license plates.
01:34You'll never know if, uh, you'll end up finding something weird.
01:39So, this guy's plate is showing suspended.
01:45So, that is definitely a violation.
01:47I'm just gonna pull him over right now.
01:49Now, he's just swerved into a parking lot.
02:00Hi, so I'm Deputy Poole with the, uh, Sheriff's Department.
02:03Always the way I'm talking to you right now is because, uh, license plate that you have
02:06on the back is telling me that the, uh, plate is suspended for some reason.
02:09Is it?
02:10Do you have your license, registration?
02:13Okay.
02:14How are you doing?
02:15Hey, doing all right.
02:17Sun's down, it's getting cooler, so, you know, it puts me, it puts me in a good mood, okay?
02:21What is your name, sir?
02:24Any alcohol, any drugs, or anything else tonight?
02:26All right.
02:29All right, we're just gonna walk right here.
02:31All right, if I just pass you down real quick, make sure you don't have anything, okay?
02:34It's the wild west, man, I can never tell nowadays, okay?
02:36So, I'll have you just stand right here facing me, okay?
02:39So, important things to remember for this test, make sure you watch your foot at all times.
02:42Ready?
02:42Go ahead and begin.
02:45Watch your foot.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:50Go ahead and stop.
02:52It's hard.
02:53It's hard to keep your balance like that, man.
02:56Close your eyes.
02:58And start.
03:00He performed very poorly on every sobriety test that I gave him.
03:03I observed that he's, uh, sweating profusely, uh, his pupils are dilated,
03:07his eyes are watery, red, and bloodshot.
03:10The impairment that I'm seeing tonight, I don't suspect is as a result of alcohol.
03:14I suspect it's because of drugs.
03:17Uh, could you just remind me of your name one more time?
03:21Okay, what's the last four of your social?
03:22Uh, honestly, I don't know my memory.
03:24How old are you?
03:2637.
03:27And you don't know your social?
03:29Not my memory.
03:30I'm sorry, man.
03:31All right.
03:32Go ahead and turn it up.
03:33Put your hands on your back for me.
03:39You are lying to me, you know that?
03:42How come you're not telling me who you really are?
03:46So, yeah, let's just pretend that I know who you really are.
03:50Okay?
03:51So in that reality, how come you don't want to tell me your real name?
03:54Because I have a warrant.
03:55Okay.
03:56Well, now let's be honest with each other, okay?
03:57What's your real first and last name?
04:00Okay, so what's your warrant for?
04:06Okay.
04:07I knew you were lying to me from the get-go, man.
04:09Because you know the real was just in jail recently?
04:13Okay.
04:14Are you related?
04:15Okay.
04:17So, what was your reason for taking his identity?
04:20Were you trying to get out of trouble?
04:22You understand how serious of a crime it is to take somebody's identity to avoid jail time?
04:27Okay.
04:28Well, you know now.
04:29Okay.
04:29How much coke have you done today?
04:34Okay.
04:35You're sweating profusely right now.
04:37Your eyes and your performance and everything else is telling me something different, okay?
04:41I love it.
04:41I was just nervous.
04:43I'm nervous.
04:43I just didn't want to go to jail.
04:45Okay.
04:45Well, if you told me your real name, we probably would have had, like, a different outcome.
04:50You understand that?
04:52Okay.
04:52Any drugs, anything I'm going to find on you?
04:55Okay.
04:56How much weed have you smoked today?
04:57I haven't smoked today.
04:59Okay.
04:59But you just happen to have this in your pocket just for giggles then?
05:02It's a weed, babe.
05:05When I'm checking his license right now, it's telling me that his license status is even suspended
05:10too because of a previous DUI.
05:14At this point in time, okay, you are under arrest at least for, you know, failing to provide
05:17me a truthful name, okay?
05:18As well as assuming the identity of another person, okay?
05:21100%, yeah.
05:22That's what happens when you lie to cops.
05:23You go to jail.
05:25See, because, like, the biggest thing is you don't have that big of a scar like your brother
05:29has right here.
05:31Yeah.
05:34Oh, I didn't know you guys.
05:35At any point, did you have any remorse at all?
05:37At any point, did you want to tell me the truth?
05:40Okay.
05:40So, I'm also going to be charging you tonight for DUI as well, okay?
05:43In addition to the identity theft stuff, okay?
05:46So, I'm going to have you sitting in that car over there.
05:49He turned what could have been just a simple misdemeanor now into a felony right now because
05:53he's lying to avoid jail time.
05:55He's assuming somebody else's identity, providing false information, in addition to discovering
06:01he has a warrant for his arrest, as well as his license status being suspended for DUI.
06:06And I suspect that he's under the influence of possibly cocaine.
06:10All right.
06:11Oh, you all right?
06:13No, I'm laying down under.
06:14You're taking a nap?
06:15Yeah.
06:16Okay.
06:17So, your warrant's not even extraditable?
06:19No?
06:19No.
06:20So, I lied for nothing?
06:22Pretty much.
06:23Wow.
06:23How does that make you feel?
06:24It makes me feel like a ****.
06:26All right.
06:33In the span of one hour, one drug driver, removed from the road, charged with two felonies.
06:40I was just genuinely curious at what point in time he thought he was going to get away
06:43with everything.
06:47I've had many instances of identity theft before.
06:51We need to be on our toes.
06:53We need to be vigilant.
06:58Theft is rampant right now.
07:00You can't go in a store and not see somebody shoplifting.
07:04And we have to get serious about prosecuting these repeat offenders.
07:10Out here in the desert, we have a lot of low-light neighborhoods, not a lot of streetlights
07:15running through those neighborhoods.
07:16People think that they're able to move around completely unseen, undetected.
07:19The low-income areas, it's very constant where people are stealing and just trying to get
07:27ahead in life.
07:27Because when they start making those mistakes and committing those crimes, a theft, burglary,
07:32robbery, whatever it may be.
07:35As I kind of drive into the district, that's when I start looking for crime occurring.
07:51I don't know what is the location of your emergency.
07:54A couple of weeks ago, a guy stole all my tools at my house.
07:57And you think that the person's back in the area?
07:59Yes, and I just saw the guy trying to steal.
08:02And on the next street to my house, he stole a white male wearing a black shirt.
08:07And I think he was wearing jeans.
08:08And he has like a horseback.
08:11This guy told the dispatch that he had made a report about this guy that stole a bunch
08:16of tools from him.
08:18I guess the guy came back to either steal more stuff.
08:21Sounds like the guy that stole the stuff is a white male wearing a black hat, black shirt
08:28and jeans.
08:29We're going to go check out the park and see if he's over there.
08:34Hey, come here.
08:36Let me talk to you for a minute.
08:38Everyone male, black over blue.
08:40Everything all right?
08:42I'm good, but I just apologize.
08:43I'm waiting to call to my mom.
08:44I told her she was on the way home.
08:45She said, just wait.
08:46I'm homeless.
08:47I just barely got into town.
08:48Okay.
08:49But I don't know where her house is, and I'm waiting for her to come.
08:52You have your ID on your man?
08:53I don't.
08:54I hate that.
08:54That's hypermint.
08:55Want to call the police was on?
08:57Yeah, they said that he might be doing some weird stuff, so we're just making sure.
09:00I'm doing some weird stuff?
09:01Yeah, we're just making sure.
09:01I can follow up.
09:02Okay.
09:0420 seconds.
09:06Hey, favorite.
09:07Take your hands back.
09:09Am I being arrested?
09:10First of all, you're not being arrested.
09:11So why am I being detained?
09:12Let go of your stuff.
09:13Why am I being detained?
09:14Because of the drug care failure in your hand.
09:15That's why.
09:16All right.
09:17See, but I'm not being arrested.
09:18Why am I being detained?
09:19This is against the law, right?
09:20Do you know that, right?
09:20Okay.
09:21You know it's against the law, right?
09:22It's not against the law.
09:23Absolutely, you know.
09:24All right.
09:24We'll sort all this out in just a second, man.
09:26I'm not doing nothing against the law.
09:28Okay.
09:29And I ain't got no warrant for nothing, so y'all are being hella aggressive and way out of line
09:32about this, okay?
09:33And I know my rights, okay?
09:35You guys are treating me like I'm a criminal, dog.
09:37This is wrong, bro.
09:39Stop pushing on me.
09:40I'm not going nowhere, dog.
09:41You're hurting my hand, dog.
09:42I'm not doing nothing wrong.
09:43That's tense up, man.
09:44Just relax.
09:45I'm not tense up.
09:46You are tense up.
09:48You won't feel my other hand.
09:49He's over here twisting my up and down.
09:50This is what I did here to tell you.
09:52You're all right.
09:53You're being arrested for the arrest of a drug fare penalty?
09:58What was that?
09:58Crespassing and possession of a drug.
09:59Hang tight, man.
10:06They're going to bring the original report to you over here so that they can see the subject
10:11that we have obtained.
10:12We call this a show up.
10:14We'll just be sitting in a patrol vehicle so that they can have a clear visual of the suspect
10:19and they can confirm for us whether or not that's the person that was stealing stuff.
10:27Yeah.
10:28Yeah.
10:29They did end up just getting their positive ID on our suspect, so that's always nice.
10:44So the initial report referenced this outstanding suspect was that he had actually committed
10:49a theft about a week prior where he's stolen approximately $1,000 worth of power tools from
10:54our victim here.
10:55That same victim spotted the suspect again in a nearby neighbor's yard attempting to
10:59steal a bike from that yard.
11:01When he tried to confront the guy, he ran off to the park here, which is where deputies were
11:04able to locate him.
11:19Knowing that you were able to fully service that member of the public that needed our assistance,
11:24it does give you a pretty fulfilled feeling and in a very, very quick manner, you know.
11:29It didn't have to take, you know, a week of investigation or, you know, months or something like that.
11:36It is a really great feeling.
11:37You don't always get to have it, though.
11:54Tonight's been quite quiet, but I've definitely seen how a quiet night can go from zero to
12:00a hundred in an instant.
12:03That car looks completely blacked out from the back.
12:19He's a, that was just a single, it's a car stunt.
12:22Get back in the car now.
12:24Get back in the car.
12:31Turn the car off.
12:33Put your hands out the window.
12:37Why are you trying to get out the car?
12:42Keep both your hands out the window.
12:46Sir, I swear to God, I was not trying to jump out.
12:49I swear to God, I was...
12:50Get out.
12:52Keep both your hands out the window.
12:53Get out.
12:55Sir, I have no weapons, no nothing in the car.
12:58Get out.
13:00Sir, I only jumped out because I just...
13:03You got anything on you?
13:05Nothing.
13:05Nothing.
13:06Nothing.
13:08Sir, I only jumped out because I just crashed my damn car.
13:14Go on.
13:15Alright, get over there and stand back there by my car.
13:17Get out, get out.
13:18Can I just look real quick?
13:22Ugh.
13:24Don't walk in.
13:25Don't walk in.
13:25Don't walk in.
13:26Don't walk in.
13:37Don't walk away.

13:43just one beer i had more i had more than one beer okay how many beers have you had i
13:48had more than
13:48one beer okay so my next question is would you be willing to do some film sobriety tests absolutely
13:53that no cool put your hands behind your back you're under arrest for dure you don't have to be rough
14:00i i i i i'm complaining i'm complaining
14:12i guess his car got stuck when he pulls over he goes to get out the car stuff like that
14:18is like
14:18indicators that you're either going to get into a shooting or somebody's going to run
14:22he kind of turned his body towards me which is why i drew my handgun and pointed at him and
14:27gave him
14:27commands to get back inside the car i can tell he's heavily intoxicated he doesn't want to do
14:32field sobriety tests so based off the driving behaviors him not realizing the lights were off
14:38him kind of swerving a little bit inside out the lanes his slurred speech the uh strong odor of
14:43intoxicants from his breath and the way he was immediately losing his balance as soon as i got
14:48him out the car those are just uh telltale signs that he's under the influence
14:58he's got a freshly opened beer right there in the center console
15:09okay but let me explain something to you a completely blacked out car from the rear and as
15:14soon as i pull it over the driver try and hops out if you were a cop and you don't
15:18know if you
15:19have drugs or guns you you wouldn't think that's a little suspicious too come on come on okay i'm sure
15:27you've seen the videos on social media where the guy jumps out of the driver's seat starts shooting
15:31at the car i've seen both sides exactly so now you understand but honestly i've seen both okay but
15:37as soon as you were cool with me and i got you out the car the gun went right back

19:38you sure let's go right here and he said yeah yeah go go go he's gonna get cited for a
19:43hit and run
19:43the fact that he hit you and took off was just illegal right so he doesn't have a valid driver's
19:50license so i'm assuming that's probably why he took off still you can't do that you can't hit somebody
19:57her car didn't have any damage just like the little scratches

20:15not to sound cliche but it is nice to help people it is like something different every single day

27:52man
28:02you know miraculously was uninjured uh from that collision from the looks of it and the damage to
28:09the roadways it looks like he was going you know over 100 miles an hour it looks like that's the
28:15second
28:15doi case that he now has in less than two years so hopefully he kind of has a bit of
28:22a wake-up call
28:23from from from that crash

29:26episode i'm really scared because he's just going without stopping he's doing a u-turn oh my god
29:32you really have to get somebody out here quick because this could be dangerous
29:37so we're going to see if we can locate him just to make sure there's not an emergency situation going

30:24going your vehicle doesn't have a license plate on it okay is this your car yeah you have a license
30:34on you okay i got you go ahead and step out for me

31:33we'll most likely be submitting some uh forms to the dmv uh to have his driving privileges reviewed
31:39and possibly have him uh retest to make sure that he's actually able to drive properly
31:45he seemed completely oblivious to the multiple collisions that he almost was involved in
31:57working for pima county is it's pretty cool i think my style of policing is is definitely a reflection
32:04of my upbringing out here and seeing the different struggles um i think it's helped me a lot to develop
32:12a lot of long-lasting rapport with the community i definitely don't try to be two different people
32:18you know inside and outside of work outside of work you know i'm i'm spending time with my family
32:23with friends and stuff but you know when you come to work you're still the same person

32:45intoxicated he doesn't have any lights and he's almost had me going against traffic it's a dark colored

33:41you reported earlier were you able to see the driver at all maybe his late 20s early 30s or
33:47something like that i think he had like a hat on but i wasn't i can't be too sure all
33:51right sounds
33:52good man i appreciate it all right it sounds like it was more closer to probably a juvenile now we've
33:56got a more clear description a little bit of education man anytime you cross over a road to
34:00get to somewhere right you're subject to the same laws right right you had to cross me right there where
34:05the lights at which is like who's sitting at right there that's fine right that's where i crossed if
34:09you're crossing over county roads which you did to get here right you're subject to the same laws all
34:13right that checks out push it across the street then i'm just i'm letting you know what's up right
34:16man we're not here messing with you i got a real call saying that somebody was driving around you're
34:19right here i came straight from my house to get something to eat came across the road that's fine
34:22but somebody calls in gives us this intersection into the quad going up and down but it wasn't me

34:29to
34:29random quad guys all right man all right all the pushback from you though is the thing about it is
34:34you
34:34guys get your day on this thing i don't think we've ever i don't think we've ever talked no we
34:39haven't
34:39because you're probably one of the new sheriffs that just got pulled i don't know i've been here
34:42for years i've been here since 86 bro that's fine i've been riding this desert i'm just saying i'm
34:46just saying if we're always crossing paths and i've never talked to you that kind of lets you know
34:49that i'm not messing with you right okay all right i'll let you go on your way but if you're
34:55going to
34:55be driving on roads out here and we're going to be contacting you then yeah get your stuff sorted
34:58we'll leave it at that all right yeah
35:05so we sent him on his way i'm sure he was glad about that he wasn't uh too happy
35:09to be making contact with us in the first place so it ended okay you know i educated him on
35:13a few
35:14things uh in regards to him operating his quad on the roadways and letting him know he's he's
35:19subject to the same laws as everybody else just another night out here
35:42i've been with the pimi county sheriff's department for a little over six years now
35:46i love working midnights you know there's a lot of dangerous people that like to commit crimes at
35:52night and that's the kind of people i like to go search after
36:19we got a report of a shoplifting just drive around see if we could find the guy
36:28yeah one four five we've got eyes on the uh west side of the family dollar in the uh ravine
36:35hey sheriff's partner brother let me talk to you
36:40what you doing sleeping yeah you got any weapons on you no all right
36:49well we just had somebody do some thieving next door
36:53no that's fine man it might not be you but we're gonna check it out just because
36:56he was last seen ahead in this direction he went running that way okay
37:07you said he saw a man running right now yeah do you know what he was wearing um he was
37:11in i think black
37:16mind if i just pat you down real quick
37:26okay all right you're good man have a seat yeah so i initially checked that the back of the family
37:32dollar working eastbound and then as i'm coming back he's just laying there with the back against
37:37concrete so i'm just gonna trace back and see if there's something that's back there all right
37:44what is this let me go to the other side of this tree that's a lot of snacks there we
37:52go
37:55oh i could see the blue shirt with white spots as described by the clerk and this was laying exactly
38:01where i had seen him common thing is to strip down after you do whatever crime you do right change
38:06your
38:11appearance let me see your shoes real quick all right i mean not born yesterday man right same shoes
38:27same sweatpants the only thing he did was he took his shirt off and just kind of used it as
38:32a bag to
38:32hold all this stuff the shoes matters because almost a hundred percent of the time when somebody
38:37commits a crime they don't have time to change their shoes nor does anybody really think about
38:41bringing in a second pair of shoes to change into i don't know why people decide they want to steal
38:47they're not very good at it we usually end up catching them
39:06hey it's 682 on west will you make me at large please okay thank you being at large essentially
39:11means we can go from uh beats two and three which are our residential rural areas to be one which
39:18which is our more metro populated area where we border with the city a bit more there's just a lot
39:24more going on in b1 for the most part on most days the vehicle in front of us is showing
39:31some signs
39:32of impairment it's swerving a bit in its lane we're just gonna have to pull it over
39:44you made a pretty aggressive lane change having a little issue staying in your lane
39:51okay have you had anything to drink tonight ma'am
39:52nothing at all so where are you headed these children got strangled when they asked me for a
39:58ride all right just give me one second she seemed like she was honestly making up her story as she
40:03was going along i'm not smelling a strong odor coming from her but uh we'll perform a hgn and see
40:11what her eyes look like follow the tip of my finger with your eyes
40:19all right ma'am have you been drinking at all tonight i don't drink okay i understand you say
40:24you don't drink however some of the things i've observed is telling me different so i'm just really
40:30exhausted i take two people all right here took a half of the signal and i'm really mental i promise
40:37you
40:37don't drink i was at home midnight these children uh messaged me the kids said do you mind giving us
40:44a ride okay should you be taking those and driving well i just took a tiny amount but should you
40:52be
40:52taking those and driving no i'm just gonna have you sit back here for now it could be a drug
40:59dui
40:59or maybe this is a simple mistake either way she shouldn't be driving so we we have to address this
41:09you don't have a criminal history you don't seem like this is going to be a
41:13ordinary thing for you right so because of that instead of giving me a dui i'm gonna request that
41:19the mvd redo your driving test to make sure you are okay to drive you said you have a fiance
41:25right
41:25can he come give you a ride perfect you can go ahead and step out now i feel like she
41:31is potentially
41:32impaired however there are prescription drugs and she isn't abusing them bad as her driving behavior
41:38really was it wasn't necessarily dangerous and on top of charging her for dui you'd also be charging
41:45her with felony endangerment because she has a 15 year old and two other minors in the car
41:51and that's a real hammer for someone that seems like they just made a mistake when taking their meds
41:57she won't be getting an arrest tonight and more importantly we will be getting her off the road safely
42:07so
42:15you
42:15you
42:15you
42:15you
