00:00Viewer discretion is advised.
00:03Bad boys!
00:05Stop doing grabs!
00:07We're good. We're good. I love you guys.
00:12You're sitting on a throne of lies and she's wearing a crown of deceit.
00:15Hey!
00:17I hate drugs.
00:19You hate drugs?
00:19Yes, sir.
00:20Bad boys, bad boys.
00:22Whatcha gonna do?
00:23Get on the grab! Get on the grab!
00:26Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.
00:30All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
00:36So I met Master Deputy Rowe in about 2020.
00:41You know, I've watched him progress and grow up and become, you know, a really good deputy.
00:47And, you know, it's just good to influence people and watch them develop.
00:51And, you know, now we're in the same car out here trying to stir some stuff up.
00:56County Fox 43-1088.
00:58Right now we're going to Signal 81, which is an auto break-in in progress at the Richard K Superstore
01:02here in Anderson.
01:03He's in a gray SUV, but they can't tell the model on it.
01:06He's in a gray SUV.
01:08The alarm company looks like they have video footage of somebody who's breaking into cars on the property right now.
01:13County charge.
01:13County charge.
01:14County charge.
01:14Right there.
01:22County's supposed to be in the front or the back.
01:24County's supposed to be in for the back?
01:24We're still trying to figure it out.
01:27County, and a green SUV closer to the front, he's got a black SUV next to it.
01:32They're talking about this truck right here, guaranteed.
01:37We go check that one in the corners.
01:46Hands down, hands, hands, hands, you hit me, I swear to God.
01:55What am I doing, what am I doing, what am I doing?
02:06Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over.
02:11You move again, you're going to get tased.
02:20That was the dumbest thing you could have ever done, my man.
02:25All I did was sit there.
02:28You broke into a vehicle.
02:29I didn't break into the vehicle.
02:32I sat there and it was cold, man.
02:35What's your name, dude?
02:36My name is Jake.
02:38All right, you're under arrest.
02:40I didn't break in, dude.
02:44What's up, man?
02:45I'm Mike.
02:45Juliet, Juliet, too.
02:47What's up, man?
02:48You all right?
02:49I'm trying to be enforcing the team of cavemen, man.
02:53I saw him throwing punches at Deputy Witt, who was on the other side.
02:57What?
02:58That's Deputy Witt.
02:59Yeah, man, when I come over here, you were like Bruce Lee.
03:03No, sir.
03:04That's why I opened the door and grabbed you, pulled you out.
03:06No, sir.
03:07I was in the first five seconds.
03:09So we opened the door.
03:10I was able to remove him from the vehicle and started resisting and managed to get on the
03:14ground.
03:15We're able to get him in custody right now.
03:16We're just waiting on EMS to come evaluate him because of that laceration to his forehead.
03:21Yes, sir.
03:22Jack, can I go through this backpack so you can get anything in it?
03:24Yes, sir.
03:25Okay.
03:29Where'd you get all this from, Jack?
03:30He says that it's a tool kit that he bought, but more than likely it's probably something
03:34to spend.
03:34He's back packing.
03:35Now we have a bunch of freshly new, unused heart tools inside of a heart backpack.
03:40I'd be willing to bet that they're stolen.
03:42Probably going to be stolen.
03:44So you're under arrest for trespass after notice, tampering with motor vehicle and public
03:50disorderly conduct.
03:51Do you understand?
03:54I understand you're saying you charged me with it.
03:56I'm not understanding how you're saying that I accomplished that.
04:00You'll have a day in court to come and fight him anytime you want to.
04:02I'll let you know when your court date is.
04:04All right.
04:04You understand your charges.
04:05You know why you're going to jail.
04:07Okay.
04:09I understand when, where, in hell.
04:12Trust me.
04:12All right.
04:12Have a seat.
04:14Let's have a seat.
04:15Is your head okay?
04:16Is my head okay?
04:17Yeah.
04:18I'm just glad I got my elbow around before the guy snapped my arm.
04:22Yeah.
04:22Well, next time don't swing on me and we won't have to do that to you.
04:24Those handcuffs good for you?
04:26I put them as loose as I could.
04:34What's up?
04:35Do we agree we made some more decisions today that might put us in this situation?
04:39It didn't have to be too, too extreme for no reason.
04:44Yeah, when you start swinging on deaf ears, we pull you out of the car and you continue
04:47to resist.
04:48That's what happens, right?
04:48Well, let me get you in your sleep a certain way.
04:51What's you going to do?
04:52I understand.
04:53Do you have any questions for me before I shut the door?
04:54You did not announce yourself before you touched me physically.
04:57You did not make sure I was aware of your presence before you touched me physically.
05:02I'm the supervisor working tonight.
05:03Do you want to talk to me at all?
05:04Yes, sir.
05:04I would.
05:05What you got going on, buddy?
05:08I was walking up through there.
05:09I was tired, sir.
05:11I fell asleep over there in the pine woods for a few hours.
05:15I got up because I was cold out there.
05:17Mm-hmm.
05:18I walked this way.
05:22I remember looking at the vehicle.
05:26I should not have sat there for shelter.
05:30I should not have done that.
05:31I didn't have no shelter at the time.
05:33And you're right.
05:34That's the stupidest thing I could have done.
05:37I didn't try to take that vehicle.
05:39I did not try to deprive nobody of anything.
05:42Yeah, they're not trying to charge you of that, man.
05:44They're just hitting you for being inside of it unlawfully.
05:45Unlawfully.
05:46And then I was woke up, not given time to orientate myself.
05:53Mm-hmm.
05:53I was attacked from my...
05:56All I know is I woke up.
05:57I'm asleep.
05:58And I had people yanking, pushing.
06:01I was told you were swinging, fighting, right?
06:04So...
06:04I have no idea about that.
06:06All I know is that I'm trying to comprehend what is happening to me.
06:10Yeah.
06:10And I'm being attacked.
06:12Understood.
06:12I was asleep.
06:13Well, trust me, my deputies wouldn't just attack nobody for no reason, okay?
06:16I'm not saying that when they grabbed me while I was asleep, I didn't jump, startle anything.
06:22Right.
06:22But nobody, nobody, nobody, not one person took the time to say,
06:29Sir, sir, wake up, sir.
06:32I don't want anybody hurt, and I don't want you to be startled because you are unaware of my presence
06:38until you have been awake for five seconds.
06:41You're lucky you're not getting stitches, my man.
06:43You said...
06:44You said you were startled because you fell asleep in an unlawful vehicle.
06:48Mm-hmm.
06:48That's why I said we're going to stop it.
06:50Now, like I told you from the beginning, it is not unlawful to be homeless.
06:53You've admitted that you startled me.
06:54It's not unlawful to fall asleep.
06:55And...
06:55You just can't do it in somebody else's car.
06:57I made that mistake, sir.
07:00I've been with the department for 11 years.
07:04One of my collateral assignments includes being on the Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT team.
07:08I've been there for going on two years now.
07:11And another collateral assignment I have is a drone operator.
07:15I've been doing that for just a little under a year.
07:18And I can utilize the drone on patrol and on the SWAT team.
07:23All right, so we're going to a trespassing call where the property management company is at the house right now.
07:30There's a lot of people squatting, and they were recently evicted, and now they're refusing to leave.
07:38Assuming this is the...
07:47What's going on?
07:48These people refuse to leave our property.
07:51This is our property.
07:53It is equity property management.
07:54I have an eviction restoration notice.
07:57Which I do believe they were served already, right?
07:59Yes.
08:00Okay.
08:00And these people are not supposed to be here.
08:02They're squatters, and they refuse to leave.
08:04We need the property.
08:05Okay.
08:06You know how many people are inside?
08:08No, that belongs to us.
08:10Do you know how many people are inside right now?
08:12About six?
08:13Yeah, about six.
08:17Hello, Sheriff's Office.
08:18Come to the door.
08:19We're not leaving.
08:24We can hear you inside.
08:26Come up to the front door, or we're going to kick the door open.
08:28And if you're inside, you're going to get arrested for trespassing.
08:32I'm just...
08:32I'm gathering...
08:33Grab your crap and come outside to the door now.
08:37Hang out there.
08:38There's another gate on the side.
08:44Like three loose nine out of five.
08:47Yeah, they're packing up now, but I don't want everyone trying to start fleeing.
08:50Everyone come out.
08:51It comes out there.
08:52They said they're packing up?
08:53No, no.
08:53One of them said yes.
08:54I've voiced contact with one of them.
08:56I'm going to go to the other side.
08:58Hey, this is your last warning.
09:00If you're inside and you don't come to the door, you're going to be arrested for trespassing.
09:04And whoever's in this room, you need to open up the front door right now, or else you're just going
09:08to go to jail.
09:09It's your only warning.
09:11Go, please.
09:16Yo, Sheriff's Office.
09:17If you're inside, make yourself known.
09:18We know you're inside.
09:19Come out through the front door.
09:23Come out with your hands up right now.
09:25We have a police canine.
09:26Let me see your hands.
09:27Drop what's in your hands.
09:27Come here.
09:29Step outside.
09:30Hurry up!
09:31I got hands.
09:33Turn around.
09:35Pull up.
09:35Here you go.
09:38What do you mean for?
09:39Who else is right?
09:40Who else is in there with you?
09:43Hey, stop.
09:43Get him out of the doorway.
09:44Get him out of the doorway.
09:45Watch needles.
09:45What are you guys doing?
09:47I don't have any needles.
09:49What am I messing for?
09:51Now you're being detained.
09:55I'll explain that to you when I'm done.
09:57Huh?
09:58Huh?
09:59Get easy.
10:01Walk this way.
10:02I'm sorry.
10:03Walk this way.
10:05Yeah, you guys got some?
10:06Anyone else inside?
10:08Come to the sound of my voice with your hands up.
10:10Walk out.
10:13Put your hands on the back of your head.
10:15Interlace your fingers.
10:16Keep backing up.
10:17Watch your step.
10:19Keep going.
10:19I don't like when people don't listen to me.
10:21When I say, hey, come to the door.
10:22And they treat me like a fool.
10:24Stay down, please.
10:25Yeah.
10:26Appreciate you.
10:27I had my headphone there, so...
10:28Okay.
10:29Oh, you couldn't hear me?
10:30You couldn't hear the banging on the door either?
10:31Oh, yeah.
10:32I believe you.
10:35Why were you at this house, man?
10:37Honestly, I was homeless.
10:38And these guys said, hey, man, you want to come stay with us?
10:40We'll charge you $150 a month.
10:42And you can just help us clean up the house.
10:43So that's what we were doing.
10:44I fixed the toilet.
10:45We weren't messing up the house.
10:47And you look in there, it was being cleaned up.
10:48You know?
10:49And it was.
10:51So when you say these guys, who here said?
10:54Some bald guy.
10:55The bald guy.
10:56The one with no teeth.
10:57What's his name?
10:57T?
10:58They call him T.
10:58They call him T?
10:59Yeah.
10:59He told you, hey, bro, come through.
11:01They left me the house.
11:02$150 a month?
11:03What?
11:03$150?
11:04Okay.
11:04All right, man.
11:06Well, did you ever think that was kind of shady?
11:08Kind of.
11:09Yeah, but I didn't have anywhere else to stay.
11:10Right.
11:11And I get your situation, man.
11:12I didn't want to be in the street, so it's like that stuff soon.
11:13I get you.
11:14So did you maybe believe that maybe this was a vacant residence?
11:19Yeah, I did.
11:20A vacant residence?
11:21You kind of knew that?
11:21Yeah, okay.
11:22But you still decided to stay here?
11:23Well, because I didn't have nowhere else to.
11:24Okay.
11:25All right, man.
11:26I understand that, you know, you're homeless.
11:28You're gone from house to house.
11:31Did you hear me knocking?
11:33Be honest.
11:33I did hear you knocking, sir, but look.
11:35Was it you that was talking to me?
11:36Yes.
11:36Okay.
11:37That was my room.
11:37Why did you come out?
11:38Because you guys wouldn't let me.
11:39I was like, hey, man, let me open the door.
11:41He's like, dude, they can't kick it in.
11:42Who?
11:42Who?
11:43The two other gentlemen that I was with.
11:44They were telling you that we couldn't kick it in?
11:45They told me not to open the door.
11:47They said, they can't kick the door in?
11:48I was like, yeah, they can for me.
11:49Yeah, they can.
11:50They're like, let me just open the door.
11:51And as you saw, you were correct.
11:53I was correct, yeah, yeah.
11:54So I was like, man, we should have just opened the door.
11:56They probably wouldn't have been this mad, you know?
11:58Like, they probably gave us a chance to just leave.
12:00I get you.
12:00So, all right.
12:01Thank you, Luis.
12:04All right.
12:05Hey, ma'am, just real quick.
12:06How did you come across the fake documents?
12:10You slid them under the door.
12:12Under this door?
12:13Yeah.
12:13When you first got here?
12:14When I first got here and I did the demand
12:17to go into the property, they refused, of course,
12:20saying that it had been rented to them.
12:22Right.
12:23And they have the contract or the lease agreement,
12:26which is completely fiction.
12:29So they said, here, here, take a look.
12:31And so they slid it out and I just drug it out with my foot
12:34and took a few pictures.
12:35How did you know that it was a fake lease agreement?
12:38Because of the indentations and...
12:42So you've seen legit ones?
12:45Yeah, because this was not even a 12-page lease agreement
12:48and ours is 53 pages.
12:50Okay, all right.
12:50So we would have never...
12:51I'm not a lease agreement expert,
12:53so that's why I was asking you.
12:55Okay, all right, well, you know,
12:56it all kind of played out at the end.
12:59They're going to go for trespassing.
13:01We're making rest.
13:02And then we also called Animal Patrol here
13:04to get rid of the stray animals and whatnot, so...
13:08The animals okay?
13:09Yeah.
13:10All right, ma'am.
13:11Well, I do thank you for your service
13:12and coming out in such a timely manner.
13:14That is much appreciated.
13:17Good morning, everyone.
13:18I believe today we have a clinician out there,
13:21drug and alcohol counselor, and a nurse.
13:24So if you find anyone needing medical, mental health
13:26or drug and alcohol assistance,
13:27feel free to call those guys
13:28and they'll be happy to come over and help you out.
13:31Are there any people that we're looking for specifically today?
13:34Keep an eye out for them.
13:36Yeah, we have a veteran that's been homeless a while.
13:38We've worked with a couple of organizations
13:40and they're going to be able to house him
13:43if we're able to locate him.
13:44Also, we have a subject that is disabled
13:50and there's another program with his resources
13:53that they're able to help him with long-term assistance
13:56if we're able to locate him and temporarily help him.
13:58All right, guys, let's hit it.
13:59Thank you, guys.
14:00Awesome. Thank you.
14:02This area is known for having quite a few unhoused individuals
14:06and camps.
14:07We were here a few days ago
14:09and we were able to find a family in need
14:12that we were able to link and connect to some resources
14:15and get them some housing.
14:19This subject we spoke to last week
14:22and we have been working with him,
14:23trying to connect him to services.
14:25He's a veteran of our military
14:28so it kind of opens the door for those opportunities.
14:32So we're just going to see
14:33if he's made contact with that group
14:35and what maybe options there are
14:37in a short time to get him some help.
14:41He does have two dogs, but they're leashed.
14:44How you doing, guys?
14:45Hey, how you doing, sir?
14:47They're supporting dogs for me.
14:49Yeah, of course.
14:50Hey, if we could get you into some temporary assistance,
14:53is that something you're interested in?
14:54What?
14:56My dogs.
14:57I have to have my dogs.
14:59Yeah, if you could take your dogs with you.
15:00Yeah, that would be cool, yeah.
15:02How much, uh...
15:04A temporary thing.
15:05Shall I find some?
15:07Well, try to link you at least temporary,
15:09maybe get you off the street for now in a motel.
15:11Okay.
15:12And then the vet group could work with you for housing.
15:16Okay.
15:17Yeah.
15:18But just for you and the dogs.
15:19You can't be bringing guests and everything else like that.
15:21Oh, no, no, no.
15:22Uh-uh.
15:23I'm not going to do that.
15:25So if we get you placed, then I'll have the vet group
15:27either come over or call you at the motel.
15:30That way you can talk to them because you're able to get the housing.
15:34Yeah.
15:34Oh, gee, yeah, I've got it.
15:36Yeah.
15:37I'm sure of that.
15:38You know, I just want to get off of here.
15:41Well, go ahead and pack up what you need.
15:43You need a ride, I take it.
15:45I can't hitchhike, can I?
15:47I don't know.
15:48Okay.
15:48But let me...
15:50Get what you need and we'll be around.
15:51Okay.
15:53Stop it.
15:55Army veteran, homeless for three years.
15:58Has two dogs.
15:59They're his family.
16:01Really, it's about taking the services to those individuals that are usually hard to access.
16:06So us coming out with the homeless outreach team through the sheriff's department and from
16:10the hotel, the veteran group will be able to do their paperwork to basically get him through
16:15the barriers and back into housing.
16:18Had more than you thought.
16:20So he'll work from a motel with that staff through the VA and different provided funding for veterans.
16:28Stop it there.
16:29I can't hear him, man.
16:30I got it.
16:31All right, Michael.
16:32We'll be in touch, okay?
16:35This gentleman, we...
16:36We're working in medicine to my other half.
16:38How are you doing?
16:39Telling your story.
16:40We helped house you.
16:42You were out here.
16:43All right.
16:43Back in, what was it, 2019?
16:452020.
16:46During COVID.
16:47You know, we've helped over 3,500 people with housing opportunities, but it's not often
16:52that we see that person, you know, after that initial little step, handing them off.
16:58So, you know, I think for us, like, that's what's rewarding about doing this type of police
17:03work.
17:03All right, man.
17:04Good seeing you.
17:04All right, you too.
17:06So we just left Parasail Park.
17:08So we're going to meet up the team and see how we can help with these unhoused individuals.
17:13We have our partners from Alcohol, Drug Services.
17:17We have our partners from Behavioral Health to try to link people with services that may
17:20need it.
17:21So let's work our way down through this encampment, make contacts, and if there's folks that we
17:25can house, link to services, provide basic need, then we'll go ahead and make that possible
17:29for them.
17:33This is with Homo's Outreach.
17:34Trying to get any help, get off the street.
17:37What's keeping you out here?
17:39Yes, sir.
17:40What's keeping you out on the street?
17:43Mainly my ID is, like, the normal ID, sir.
17:46Are you trying to get any treatment, any resources, drugs, alcohol, mental health, housing?
17:53Well, unnecessary.
17:54With that ID thing is number one, I'm struggling because I can't get a job without an ID.
17:58So there's programs that'll pay the three grand to move in so you're not here on the
18:02streets and, you know, you got a safe place to live.
18:04You can work a little better, show up on time, stuff like that.
18:07Yeah.
18:08So we could give you some resources in reference to that and your ID voucher.
18:13Is that cool?
18:15I do Narcan trainings.
18:16Are you familiar with Narcan?
18:17It's a medication that reverses an opioid overdose.
18:20So let's say you said you found a baggie and you used, it could have been contaminated
18:25with fentanyl or it could have been straight out fentanyl and your friends could have, you
18:29would have passed out and stopped breathing.
18:31It's a, it's a spray that goes in your nose and it reverses the opioid overdose and it saves
18:36your life.
18:36So I have some, I could do a training and you could have it on you.
18:40And if you find anybody out here, you know, passed out on the floor and they're not breathing,
18:44you spray it in the nose, you revive them.
18:46Hey, thank you, sir.
18:47I appreciate you.
18:48All right.
18:49You're welcome.
18:51I never assumed that they're using drugs.
18:53I basically say, if you know anybody that's out here that's struggling, sometimes they'll
18:58confide in you and say, Hey, I need help.
18:59So I gave them the screening assessment and referral center number.
19:03They could call Monday through Friday between seven o'clock in the morning and 530 and get
19:08screened over the phone.
19:09They don't have to actually go into a clinic.
19:10I offered to do a Narcan training for him.
19:13He kind of seemed like he didn't want that, but that's what we're also out here doing.
19:17The last subject, he's just down on luck and been out here a couple of years, but hasn't
19:22been able to maintain an ID to get his, a job program.
19:26So he's hoping to take his ID voucher and utilize it to get a job.
19:31And with an ID, he can get a cell phone.
19:34So he's gonna get his ID cell phone.
19:36And he was really interested in some of the resources that are out there to help move
19:40people beyond homelessness.
19:41So overall, a good day being able to get people off the streets of our community.
19:47132 in Bush.
19:48I've got him at gunpoint.
