All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law.
-On radio: Nevada 6, 7...
-Deputy jose cardenas: Growing up in vegas, you know,
A lot more people,
A bigger area than moving out here.
It's a little bit more open.
I didn't really realize that when I started working
For the county, how much ground we cover.
You know, we can travel from anywhere
From 20 miles to 50 miles to get to a call.
I got this motorcycle right here.
It has no license plate on it
And it seems to be accelerating,
So I'm gonna try to get up behind it
And initiate a traffic stop.
-(siren whoops)
-I pushed on my sirens and he gave me a look back.
This guy's gonna run from me.
He's bailing.
Stop running, dude.
-(dogs barking)
-All right.
There's a piece of glove right here and our suspect was
Wearing gloves when he ran from me.
So I'm pretty sure he is hunkered down
In one of these sheds right now.
I have other units on the way right now
To help me search this area.
We'll get permission from the property owner
And go from there.
Suspect wearing a plaid shirt, some shorts.
This one, this back one, over there.
-(dog barking)
-Officer: Get down!
-On radio: Nes, do you need me to come to you?
-Cardenas: Negative, code 4.

Hey, do you wanna ask them
If they want a trespassing charges?
What's your name?
-Suspect: Josh. -Why are you running?
-Josh: I got warrants, man.
-Cardenas: You have warrants?
-Josh: My new dirt bike that I got.
I figured you were gonna take my bike
And arrest me for not having my license
And all that, man.
-Cardenas: Yeah, you're gonna lose that.
Yeah. C'mon, my car's over there.
-Josh: You think we, was that illegal to drive on the street?
-Cardenas: Yeah.
Did you see me coming out behind you?
-Josh: Not at first, not until I got into the field, then I seen you.
-Cardenas: That's when you saw me.
Did you hear my sirens when I pushed on them?
-Josh: No, I had my, I lost my headphones.
-Cardenas: We'll grab it all. Did you hear my sirens?
-Josh: I didn't hear 'em, I had my headphones on. -Okay.
-I crashed, I was like,
I'm gonna lose my bike and everything.
-Cardenas: Okay.
-On radio: Can you start the next 92...
-Josh: I got warrants, I think just pay a few fines.
-Cardenas: Gotta pay fines? -Josh: Yeah, man.
-Cardenas: For misdemeanor warrants? -Josh: Yeah, man.
-Cardenas: Well josh, you understand that
Your misdemeanor warrants, I probably would've
Just talked to you and that was it.
But now you have unlawful flight, which is a felony.
-Josh: Aw, please don't charge me that, please.
Please, I been doing this. I just got that, sir.
I'm gonna have to do another three years in prison, dude.
-Cardenas: You on probation?
-Josh: No, I was just on parole, man.
-Cardenas: Okay.
-Josh: Sir, please don't do that,
They give you a long time for felonies, man.
-Cardenas: How old are you? -Josh: I'm 30, man.
-Cardenas: You're 30, yeah,
So I think you should know better, right? -Josh: Yeah, man.
-Okay, then you leave anything in that shed?
No, no dope, nothing like that?
-Josh: No man, I don't have no dope.
-All right, how long you been out?
-Now, since may 27th.
-Cardenas: 45, code 27-29.
-I don't wanna go back to prison, man.
-Cardenas: You got anything else on you?
-I don't have nothing on me, man.
I just bought that bike too, dude.
-Paul 45, copy 27-29.
Stand right here. Oh.
-Josh: (indistinct)
-Cardenas: Are you hurt at all?
Do you need medical or no? -No, I'm alright.
-Okay.
-Every time I get something nice, it gets taken away.
I got the suv, I, I ran from you guys.
I ran from a cop car, went on a chase.
I had warrants back then,
And I'm going to prison for two and a half,
I got out, you know, tried--
I'm not doing the [bleep] I was doing before.
You know, I got shot last time I was out,
You remember me?
-Cardenas: I think I do. -Got shot right there.
-Cardenas: Yeah, I remember.
So you just haven't learned your lesson then, huh, josh?
You ran from us then, you ran from us now,
In the end, you know, we are--
-I'm not going back there, every time it's longer, long,
I'm a category 3 now, dude,
They're gonna pick me up like five years for this, dude.
-Cardenas: All you gotta do is pull over.
In the end, you know, we always catch you.
All right, we're going back
To my sergeant's car real quick and then I,
You're gonna sit in there, all right?
-Josh: Sir, can you please not charge me
With felony evasion, please?
-Cardenas: Josh...
-(josh, indistinct)
-Cardenas: Okay then.
-Josh: They're gonna give me a long time, dude.
-Not only that, these,
These innocent people that you ran into their backyard,
They got dogs.
You don't know if they have grandchildren or children.
You're getting charged with trespassing.
-Josh: Just charge me
With misdemeanor something, please?
-Cardenas: We'll see.
Well, actually unlawfully entering the residence back there
Or the shed, that's actually burglary.
-Josh: No, don't charge me with that, sir.
-So, what I'm gonna add, we're gonna see what else
We're gonna go onto all right?
-Josh: I didn't steal anything sir.
-Cardenas: It doesn't matter.
-(dogs barking)
-Cardenas: 45-7-11, can you unlock your unit, please?
-(dogs barking)
-I'm gonna double lock these so they don't get
Tighten on you, alright?
-(dogs barking)
-Hey josh, josh, hey, listen, by the way,
You don't even have warrants.
-Josh: What? -Cardenas: Yep.
-Josh: Oh, my god, dude.
(sobbing)
-Cardenas: 45-11. Can you unlock your unit, please?
-(door clicks)
-Thank you.
Kick your feet in. -Josh: Sir, please.
-Cardenas: Feet in.
-Josh: Sir, please don't just put me in jail, dude.
-Alright. Watch your knee.
-(dogs barking)
-I'll grab your wallet and everything else.
-They want any charges? -No.
-No, okay. -Just whatever--
-Cardenas: All I have him is for unlawful flight.
He thought he had warrants so he fled,
And he doesn't even have warrants.
-Okay.
-Cardenas: And he already said that
He's already been put away for two years
For prior evading law enforcement.
So, well now he's gonna get charged again.
Obviously he didn't learn his lesson.
-Po ii glover: I think to be an officer,
To be a good officer, you need to be able
To talk to everybody.
Just be friendly and know that not everyone
You're talking to is gonna be a jerk.
What they're giving you is how you have to address them.
You can't be a jerk just right off the bat.
If you pull up on somebody and you start talking to 'em
Just like I am right now, most of the time
They're gonna be the exact same way.
We are gonna conduct a stop on this red ford fusion,
Doesn't have a windshield
Or a back windshield on it looks like.
Ken 12, 1671, copy 4-6-7, 52 california.
Stay in the car, stay in the car.
Hello.
Hi, officer glover, las vegas metro,
The reason why I pulled you over is you don't have
A windshield and all that.
-I was on my way to actually trying
To get my car fixed.
-Do you have your license, registration, insurance on you, ma'am?
-And my id got stolen last night.
-Have you ever been arrested or cited for anything in nevada?
-Attempted burglary.
-How recent?
-Not recently at all.
-Can I just have you step outta the car for me?
You don't have any license on you,
I just wanna talk to you back here, okay.
Any weapons on you? Guns, drugs, anything like that?
-No.
-Passenger: If you see her, can you tell her?
-Just gotta stay in the car for me, okay?
-Yup, no problem.
-Right over here for me.
Okay. What's your first name?
-It's jessica. -Jessica, any warrants
I need to know about?
-Uh, no, not that I know of.
-Is the vehicle registered to you?
-Yeah, it's, yeah, I own the car.
-Okay, do you have insurance for it?
-I'm supposed to be getting that today.
I just bought it like literally just bought it and I'm only
Driving it to fix the car like that.
Like literally like I was going to...
-Glover: Well you're dropping off her.
-Right, and she was on the way, so, and we,
She stayed the night at my house.
-Glover: Where are you gonna get it fixed?
-Well technically I was just gonna go to autozone and--
-Stay in the car. -See if there was any like--
-Po ii kenshin rose: You wanna pull everybody out?
-Glover: If you want to, yeah.
-Rose: All right, just hang tight, okay.
Just face that car, please.
-Glover: What happened to your windshield?
-Ex-boyfriend.
-Glover: An ex-boyfriend, what happened with that?
-I threw a rock to get his attention
And he came out and just busted all my windows, and so.
-With what?
-A bat. -When did this happen?
-Like two weeks ago.
-Okay.
When did you get the car though?
Because if you said you just got it today.
-No, I mean, I just was driving it today
To fix it, so I could go fix it.
Like I've had, I've had the car, I don't know,
Like say three months ago,
But I haven't been able to drive it because I was waiting on
My documentation and my window is gone.
-Glover: So that plate doesn't belong to that vehicle.
-I'm pretty sure it belongs to the guy
That signed it over to me though.
He told me that the plate that goes to it like got took or
Whatever, stolen or thrown away or whatever.
But he doesn't barely speak english.
-So did you put the license plate on there?
-No, he did. He did.
I asked him if it went to the car
'cause I looked up the car. -Okay.
-Jessica: Like, because I wanna make sure
I'm driving legit, you know, and he,
He said that it either got lost or somebody stole it
And I'm like, okay, well, I don't really know
What's this like, is my first car,
I don't really know how it goes or what, you know, you're
Supposed to do, so.
-Glover: Well, you're supposed to get it registered.
-Well, I know that's what I'm supposed to do today.
That's what I'm trying to do today. -Glover: To the dmv?
-Yeah, no, I'm late.
-Glover: What time was your appointment at?
-Uh, it was walk-in day.
My appointment was at 8:30 yesterday.
-Glover: 8:30 in the morning?
All right, just hang out for me, okay?
There's a bunch of drug paraphernalia inside there,
Pipes, there's a lot of tinfoil,
Which is pretty common for smoking,
Like heroin, freebasing.
The license plate does not belong to the vehicle.
It's coming back to a mazda.
It's not stolen or anything,
But obviously it's what we call cold plated,
Which means someone's placing the, uh...
A plate from a different vehicle on this vehicle.
So, we're still trying to investigate
What's going on with that.
Face this way, look at me.
You're very concerned about the car, what are we gonna find?
-No, I'm not concerned about the car.
-What are we gonna find in there?
-Maybe a [bleep] knife, but
That's about it. -Nothing else, no drugs?
-Not that I'm aware of, sir.
-Okay, so are they gonna have drugs in the car
That they don't know about too?
-I'm pretty sure they don't do drugs.
-Does anyone do drugs? -I smoke marijuana.
-That's it? -Yeah.
-Fto justin jonsson: This yours?
-Jessica: Yeah.
-Jonsson: Do you like huff it through the sock?
-Jessica: That's to get the glass outta my window.
-Jonsson: No, I see the glass, but why,
Why put it in the sock?
Why not just if you're gonna use for glass,
Just use it like this. -Because it freezes.
Like literally.
-I have seen some people do this, right?
-Jessica: Well I was trying to get the glass outta
My face, because I turned on my air conditioner
And it sprayed glass in my face.
So I was, I had the air vents on and I put that on
So the freezing [bleep] didn't spray in my face.
-Okay. -I had to turn it
Upside down, you know what I'm saying?
And then it kind of like stops the--
The freezing [bleep] from spraying in my face,
You know what I'm saying?
-Yeah, so you put a sock on.
-Jessica: Right, but I, but my ac was on,
I was spraying the glass out of my ac because when I turned
On my ac, like,
-Glover: What's going on with your driver's license,
How come you don't have one, like in the last 10 years.
-I missed my appointment, sir.
And I was gonna go to a walk-in today.
-Jonsson: You have to have a driver's license.
-Yes, I'm aware.
-Why haven't you gotten a driver's license?
-Because the appointment system.
-That's not an excuse anymore.
-It's definitely an excuse when can't get--
-No, 'cause I had to change my address
On my driver's license and I was
In and out like 20 minutes.
-Listen, the appointments--
-The covid excuse doesn't,
You can't use that anymore. -No, no, no.
That's not even the issue.
The appointment was missed, sir.
I know I was supposed to be there 8:30 yesterday.
I was trying to get to... Okay, I'm done.
-Yeah, you just, you just got an answer
For everything instead of being like.
-My god, bro, because like,
I'm not gonna sit here and explain
When it's really that way,
And like I'm trying to tell you
And it just sounds ridiculous
And I know it sounds ridiculous.
Like I just, I don't want to explain anymore
Because you're looking at me like I'm ridiculous
And I'm like, no.
-Glover: So nothing else, no drugs?
-Jonsson: I'm just trying to figure out
What's going on so we can try to help you.
So how many cans a day did you use to go through?
-Jessica: A lot, depends on how many I can get.
If I bought 'em or if I, 'cause I would steal 'em
You know, at times.
-So if you were, if you were still huffing,
How long would this last you?
-Well it just depends on what else
I'm doing during the day.
-Jonsson: Like you aren't using anything else.
All you have is this.
-Jessica: It's probably gonna be gone in a couple hours.
-Couple hours? -Yeah.
-Jonsson: Alright. -Glover: Alright, jessica,
I got two citations for you, okay?
It's gonna be for the registrations
On the back, okay?
Having a, the plate of a different vehicle
On there is, is illegal.
Next one is not having a valid driver's license. Okay?
You're gonna take care of it in court, okay?
So you're gonna be on your way but you're not gonna be able
To drive that vehicle, get someone to tow it.
-Jonsson: Get to the dmv, get off the duster.
-Jessica: Sure.
-So I work in the city of san jacinto.
It's a fun city to work.
There's a handful of us that work at the station.
So we're real close, you know,
It's cliche but we're like family.
It's really enjoyable to come out and, you know,
Serve a community that I live in
And get the bad guys off the streets.
So I'm stopping this car right here
'cause the registration's expired.
How you doing? -Good, you, sir?
I don't know where the (indistinct).
-Post: Oh man. So I'm stopping you 'cause
Your registration's expired.
-Oh, yeah, no, we had the, the permit thing for the,
To do the smog check or whatever.
-Post: Okay, do you have your driver's license on you?
-No, not on me, sir.
-Post: Do you have an id on you?
-Oh, yes, sir.
-Post: Where's it at? -It's over here.
It's in my phone.
-Post: Okay, you on parole or probation?
-No, sir.
Aah, [bleep]. -Post: You okay?
-No, I guess he's, my, my, my, my dad's
In the hospital and stuff and, man,
I'm just worried about my mom now.
-Post: Okay, you're acting real nervous, dude.
You're, everything okay? -I know, I know,
It's just because, man, I don't e-mail them.
-Post: Can you get off the phone? I'm, I'm--
-Gonna call my mom real quick, just real quick.
-Post: Can you get off the phone for me? -Okay, sir.
-Post: Why are you, why are you so nervous, bud?
,-no, sir. I'm just, I'm just.
-Post: Is there something in the vehicle
I need to worry about?
-I have a pipe in my pocket, that's about it, sir.
-Post: Okay, well we can deal with that.
-I know, sir.
I'm just, I'm nervous 'cause I don't,
I don't want no [bleep] man.
-Post: So you're not on parole,
Probation or anything? -No, sir.
-Post: Have you ever been arrested before?
-I have been arrested before, sir.
-Post: What have you been arrested for?
-For a misdemeanor evading.
-Post: Okay, and what was that like?
You got in a car chase or what?
-No, I just didn't stop very well or everything.
-Post: Okay, go ahead and step out.
Just throw the keys up on the dash.
-Sure.
-Post: Set your stuff up, yeah.
Set your stuff up on the dash.
-'kay, 'kay, yeah, I'm going.
-Post: Set it up here.
Hands behind your back for me. -Yes, sir.
-Post: You said you just have a pipe on you?
-Yes sir, that's it, man. That's why I got nervous, man,
I'm sorry.
-Post: Separate your feet for me.
You got dope in there too.
-No, there's a little bit of dope
In my other pocket right here, sir. And that's it, sir.
-Post: Oh, how about that?
You using the dope pocket for the dope?
You got anything in your socks, dude?
-No. -Post: Separate your feet again.
You don't have any guns or anything like that on you?
-No, nothing like that, sir. -Post: What, what gang are you from?
-The monte flores.
-So here's what's gonna happen.
You're not under arrest or anything,
You're just being detained, okay?
-Okay, sir? -Post: All right, step over here.
I have a seat right here on the curb.
Why do you need to talk to your mom?
-Because she's calling me right now
And told me that they're gonna operate on my,
On my dad 'cause he had pneumonia.
I have the letter right there from the,
From the, from the hospital, going in letter.
-Post: Okay. -I'm so nervous about being--
-Post: Driving, 74. 1110 for a vehicle search.
Your friend lives over here, you said?
-Right there. I was just gonna cut down this side
And go on minor, hmm.
To go right there on minor,
Just to see what he was doing.
-Post: So why'd you go this way?
-I don't know, I was gonna cut through here.
-Post: Cut through here?
-Yeah, cause I seen, I got nervous
'cause I seen you behind me, sir.
I seen you one car behind me, man, I got nervous,
I'm not gonna lie. -Post: Okay.
I'm going to check out your car, okay?
And then you and I'll have a conversation
About the dope in the pipe.
-This is my girlfriend's car, she just bought it,
She's still trying to fix it up, whatever.
-Post: So this is your girlfriend's car?
It's not stolen? -No, it's not, hell no, it's not stolen.
-Post: Do you have a copy of the registration in the car?
-I don't think so.
-Post: No, okay, so you're on probation.
Okay, I, I didn't know, I didn't know it was on bruce
'cause I don't check in to no,
No probation officer, none of that.
-Post: Okay.
All right.
So, he had a little dope in his pocket and the pipe,
-For sure.
-Post: Standby while I search his car.
-Yeah.
What's your name. Bud?
-The id is right there, I think they put it in my--
(tools clanking)
-Post: So I'm searching the car,
See if there's anything else in here
That he might have hidden.
-Amezola: You just use your car for storage in the back?
-No, not in the back, it's parked in my front yard there.
We just, we have been putting stuff in there, eh?
-Amezola: Yeah.
-Post: Hey, throw 'em in your car.
-Ow, ow, hold on, wait, wait, wait!
-Amezola: Stand up. -I know, I'm stand-- I'm trying to get up, sir.
I haven't, sir.
-Post: So he has a gun.
Looks like a glock 43.
It was hidden in the seat where the airbag goes.
He was literally shaking like a leaf when I stopped him,
Which is like giant red flag.
Let me see if he wants to play cool with me or not.
Jose, what's going on, man?
Whose car is that?
-My girlfriend's car. It's not my car.
-Post: So, is it-- -we use it as a storage.
-Post: Is it your girlfriend's gun?
-Huh? No, I'm not saying it's her gun.
We use it as a storage. We push in there.
Eh? -Post: So--
-It's not my--
-Post: Here's my question to you, bud.
You told me originally you were on probation for evading?
-Yeah. -Okay, was that a lie?
-No, it wasn't a lie.
That's why I think I got the probation,
But I didn't even know it was on probation.
'cause I don't check in.
-Yeah, your court case hasn't even been heard yet.
You have three cases and one of 'em is you
In possession of a gun.
-That again, that was a while ago though.
-Post: Okay, well the oldest one
Is the one of you evading.
You got, you got popped with a gun what,
In October?
-No, I don't think it was October.
-Post: When'd you get popped with the gun, the gun last time?
-It was like in March or I don't know,
There's a video of it on youtube
And it was with harem pd, but it was,
They didn't even charge me with nothing.
They took me to the, to the southwest
And they released me the next day.
-Post: Yeah, you're you're out on, what is it?
It's called released on own recognizance.
So you're technically on summary probation.
You shouldn't even have a knife, let alone a gun, right?
-I don't snitch either, but I've done my [bleep] man.
-Well, do you know whose it is?
-I don't know whose it is, man.
Either way, him--
-Post: So how come the seat
Was all torn up like that?
-I mean, the car's been like that, huh?
And the position that I'm in right now,
I wouldn't even pull over, huh?
I would've probably gone balls blazing
If I knew the gun was in there knowing that I'm gonna go
To jail and I'm not gonna see my dad die, know what I mean?
I would've partied, done something worse.
-Post: Well, I'm glad you didn't, dude.
So, here's the deal, dude.
You're gonna get charged with felony possession
Of the firearm, okay?
You're gonna get charged with being in possession
Of a firearm,
-I wasn't in possession of it, man.
It's not--
-Post: You're, you said that's your girl's car,
You're driving it, you're in control of that vehicle
And you had dope on you.
All right?
A good stop, it's an unregistered gun.
This guy's a felon.
He even told me when I was talking to him that if he knew
It was in there, he said he would've done something crazy.
And I think he was alluding to getting in a shootout with us
But I'm glad he didn't do that.
-(over radio): 132 and bush, I've got him at gun point.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Thanks, 10.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code three.
-(theme music playing)
