- Hello everyone, I'm Sheriff Wayne Ivey
of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office,
and it's time for another exciting episode
of Riding Shotgun.
Tonight, I'm riding up in our North Precinct.
I'm gonna be riding with Deputy Kyle Pemberton.
He's a go-getter.
Our whole squad is gonna be out
working tonight to take bad people off the street,
put 'em safely behind bars
where they can't victimize anybody else.
Let's go ride shotgun with Deputy Kyle Pemberton.
Kyle, thanks for letting me ride with you tonight, man.
I'm excited. I know you're always into stuff out here,
one of our aggressive team members.
So I had a chance to work with your dad for many years
and know you're a second-generation deputy sheriff for us.
What's that like, man?
- It's a very good feeling.
It's rewarding. I enjoy,
you know, I grew up around law enforcement
with my dad being here.
He was friends with other cops,
other people involved in Brevard,
and I knew that that's where I wanted to be,
that's what I wanted to do.
I wanted to work specifically here in Brevard
and when it came time to getting around to that,
went to Eastern Florida
and did the Academy there,
came out and got hired with the Sheriff's Office,
and I couldn't be happier.
I've been blessed.
I've been here at North Precinct
since the beginning and I love it here.
I've been blessed with the supervision here
and I couldn't be happier.
- Man, that's awesome, brother.
That's the kinda stuff we like to hear.
- 4-18, I'll be 10-50, white four-door
Orange and East Main.
0-20.
- (Deputy Pemberton) Hey.
- All right, I was just test driving the car.
- (Deputy Pemberton) Just test driving your car?
- I got my license.
- Okay. Hey, hold on, hold on.
- It's in my nephew's name.
- (Deputy Pemberton) It's in your nephew's name?
Where's the tag at, man?
- I just bought it.
I mean, I was just test driving it.
- Okay. You got your driver's license with you?
- Yeah.
- So it's not registered or anything?
- No, it's in his name.
- Is the vehicle registered?
- I'm saying it's registered in his name.
- Okay. Does he have the plate for it?
- No, not yet.
I was just test driving it around here.
- Okay. I gotcha.
- [Radio Dispatcher] It's coming back 10-54, 10-29.
You have a Florida inmate release status,
release date of 3/16/2016.
The offense: cocaine sale, manufacture, deliver.
He also has a Protection Order
out of our agency that has been served.
- You said you were buying this car, right?
- Yes.
- Okay. Can you do me a favor?
I'm just going to test the window tint, man, is I'm saying.
Okay. When you rolled by originally,
that's why I flipped around
and then I saw no tag, okay?
So you're at 12 percent.
These front windows can't be below 26 to 28 percent, okay?
Let me run back to my car real quick,
we'll knock you out a couple warnings
and then we'll get outta here, okay?
- So I got a ticket?
- No, I'm gonna give you a couple of warnings.
I'm not going to write you a ticket.
- Okay.
- Okay? All right?
All right, so the traffic stop,
it was, saw a white car.
The white car had dark tint.
And, but once we flipped around on it
to do a traffic stop on the illegal tint,
I realized it had no tag on it.
Stopped the car and driver was very cooperative,
very respectful the entire time.
He was just out test riding the vehicle,
looking to buy it.
I ended up letting him off with a warning.
Got the vehicle back to where it belonged, no problem.
(car stops, seat belt unbuckles, door opens)
- How many cc's is this thing?
- I don't even know, man.
- Don't know? How long you had it?
(radio chatter)
- Just about another, maybe six months, maybe about a year.
I just haven't had a go of it.
I couldn't get it started, so...
- You just been working on it?
- Yeah, I just been working on it.
Come by, put some fuel in it.
- I gotcha.
You have a driver's license?
- It's suspended.
- Suspended? What's it suspended for?
- Probably child support.
- Child support?
- Yeah.
- How long has it been suspended?
- God, I don't know.
Probably been a while.
- You've been using this for transportation in the meantime?
- No, no.
I just now got it started.
- Do me a favor, man,
and just keep your hands
outta your pockets for me, okay?
Do me a favor, too.
Just come up, just rest yourself
right up on the front of his car for now, okay?
- Do you have anything illegal on you?
(radio chatter)
- He shook his head no, but...
- No?
- No.
- Okay. Well, the reason I asked
'cause last time you told me the same thing,
but you had cocaine in your pocket.
- Right.
- All right, you know why
I'm putting you in handcuffs right now?
- No.
- 'Cause you don't have a license,
you're driving an unregistered motor vehicle.
- All right.
- All right? Anything sharp, poke me or stick me?
- Might be a test light in there, I don't know.
- A test light?
- Yeah. I don't know.
(radio chatter)
- All right, do me a favor,
we're gonna walk around this way
to the car.
Anything else I need before I put you in there?
- No.
- All right. Once you get into the jail,
it's an additional felony.
- No.
- Okay. Have a seat for me.
I'm gonna roll this window down.
(radio chatter)
He says he was just test driving it, but...
- That's what the last guy said.
- Well, that's not what he told us.
- Oh, really?
- No. He told he's had it about six months.
He was working on the front of it.
- Yeah. First he told me he was test driving it.
And then he said he was coming up here to get gas.
- I asked him why he didn't have a license,
or why it didn't have a tag on it.
- There's no key?
He did say he had to kickstart it, right?
- Yeah. He said was having trouble
with the ignition switch on it.
Do we know it's not single tin?
- I haven't ran anything yet on it.
This is defined as a motor vehicle
That it's ran on a motor and ran by gas.
- Okay.
- And you're driving down the road.
- And you're driving down the roadway, so,
whenever you're driving anything on the roadway
it has to be street legal,
which means it has to have a registration and a tag,
and you have to have a valid driver's license to operate it.
(upbeat music)
- Hello.
- Hello sir, how ya doing?
- All right.
- Was it your grandchildren that were out here earlier?
- Yes sir.
- They were. Are they still here?
- Yeah.
- Are they able to come out by chance?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause they come out earlier
and I told him I was going to come back
with some stickers.
- Oh.
- Lieutenant Cline...
- You got a gun?
- ...talked to you guys earlier,
and he thought you guys liked basketball
and you guys were talking to him about basketball.
So he's got a little surprise for you.
Why don't you guys check out
what's in the back of the car.
- Yes sir.
- Pretty cool?
Come on, let's get it out.
We'll see how it looks.
- We'll take it out, let's see what it does here.
- So, he bought this for you guys
and he just wanted to to bring it by
and called us to come help him.
- Let's go to the basketball and throw it in there.
- Yeah.That's pretty cool.
- I can try that.
- Yeah. They're always hanging out with the boss.
- We can't put that inside.
- You can't put it inside?
Well, you know what you do,
is you fill the bottom of it right there
with either water or sand
and then it'll stay right up near the house
and it could be wheeled out or whatever you need to do.
And I told you I'd be back with stickers.
I just had to have someone else bring some more.
- I got a basketball right here.
- He's our sticker guy.
- You like that one?
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Well, Kyle, thanks for letting me
ride with you tonight, man.
It has been a blast.
- I appreciate it.
- You're doing great stuff out there.
It's obvious the citizens love you,
and you just be safe out there, all right, brother?
- Thank you, Sheriff.
- All right, man.
I know you've still got a lot of your shift left,
but just know how much I appreciate you
letting me ride with you tonight.
- Thanks for riding. The pleasure is mine.
- Have a good night, brother.
- Thank you, Sheriff.
- So, just had another great episode of Riding Shotgun.
Kyle Pemberton's one of our best.
He's out there every day
protecting our citizens, protecting our community.
Love having him as part of our team
and had a blast riding with him tonight.
