[siren blaring]
We just got a call about a domestic situation.
A neighbor heard arguing and then a gunshot.
In a domestic situation, things can get
heated really, really quickly.
And the caller did say that there has
been silence since the gunshot.
You don't know if somebody has already been shot,
or if they're laying there bleeding out,
the other person running.
They could be barricading themselves
in the house waiting for us.
So you never really know till you get there.
Get out.
Get on the right side of the car.
Go back in your house.
8 [bleep], right?
(ON SPEAKER) Residents of 8 [bleep],,
come to the front door with your hands up.
Residents of house 8 [bleep],, come to the front door
with your hands up.
Do it now.
Residents of 8 [bleep],, come to the front door with your hands
up.
[police radio chatter]
162 is on the way there now.
Hey, Brett, you have the front of the house,
I'm going to talk to this lady real quick.
OFFICER: OK, I got it.
Do you know if we've been here before
for any kind of gunshots?
Or have you ever heard anything like that?
I don't-- I don't think so.
I mean, I've been here since 1988--
I mean, in here.
But I don't even think he owns a gun.
I know he's got a bow.
But he's not even home.
He's in his company truck.
And it's a van.
He's an electrician.
I don't know where he's working right now.
But it's just him and his dog.
He's got a black lab, a little tiny thing.
OK, OK.
OK, break it down, guys.
Thank you, ma'am.
Sorry.
It's all good.
We're glad that it was nothing serious.
So this just goes to show you how
things can get skewed in translation,
whatever it may be.
So after one of our detectives gets to the house
to talk to the original complainant,
she gives some more information that now she heard somebody
saying that they were arguing about shooting a snake, which
was information that we didn't hear originally,
and then that there was three to four gunshots.
So it sounds like somebody had a snake on their property,
and then possibly just shot the snake.
Got to look at it as a training experience and go from there.
But luckily tonight, there was nothing too
serious happened, as it seems.
We're going to conduct a traffic stop on this vehicle.
[siren blaring]
[inaudible] I'm DFC Denton with the Sheriff's Office.
The reason I stopped you is when you had turned back there,
and you got on that road, you kind of
went over that yellow line right there, just the center line.
Do you have your driver's license and registration?
DRIVER: Yeah.
158, when you're done, I need you to start to me.
Just do me a favor. Just remain in the vehicle, OK?
And I'll be with you guys momentarily.
It's just got--
I don't know if it's his e-cigarette or what.
But it's like a strong, like, odor
in there of not like marijuana, but almost like they were
trying to cover something up.
Oh, a lot-- yeah, to me it's a lot of cover scent.
That's what I'm--
I'm getting out of it.
No.
Actually, yes, there's a knife in this pocket right here.
What did he say?
You've got a pipe in the car?
All right, cool.
OK.
We'll get it, man.
Look-- hey, look, be cool with us, right, be honest with us.
That's going to get you a lot further in line.
Just keep doing what you're doing, all right?
I know.
I can tell.
All right?
What you got?
And a butterfly knife?
Whose butterfly knife?
What do you got that for, partner?
Yeah, I'm telling ya.
Oh, yeah.
We're definitely smelling it now.
Where is it coming from?
Yeah, OK.
I can smell it in there.
All right, so we've got a hidden compartment.
That makes sense.
OFFICER: He just hide a little but in there?
Just a little bit, not even criminal.
Is that all it is in the grinder, man?
You went through all of that to hide
this little bit of weed?
You know, the worst part is there's
more charges that come with this than there is with that weed.
This is criminal.
And you didn't even hide this?
Yeah.
It's a criminal offense.
It's a concealed deadly weapon.
It's just like switchblades.
You can't have switchblades either.
It ain't like it's the most deadliest weapon in the world.
But you stab someone in the chest with this, right?
It's something to get off the street.
You're not getting a charge for the weed, all right?
You are going to end up getting a court
summons to come to court for that knife
there and explain that knife.
Yes.
And the reason being is the knife is a criminal charges.
This is a civil charge.
We're not going to charge you civilly when
when we have a criminal matter.
Yes, sir.
I bought it in North Carolina as, like, a gag souvenir.
Threw it in my truck, figured it wasn't an issue,
figured out it was.
There's a warning for you.
All right, pay attention to your driving.
All right, you take care of yourself.
[music playing]
We're getting ready to initiate
a traffic stop on a vehicle.
It's driving with no tail lights on.
[siren blaring]
[inaudible] traffic, northbound, just south of [inaudible]..
Hello.
Hey, I'm DFC Moehler with the Sheriff's Office.
You know why I stopped you tonight?
All right, your headlights-- you only have like
your daytime running lights on.
You don't-- you're driving down the road with
no tail lights or anything.
[laughs]
It's all good, man.
Have you had any alcohol tonight, man?
DRIVER: Probably like a couple of hours ago.
OK.
Because I'm standing here talking to you, and I mean,
I can smell the alcohol.
So go ahead and shut your car off.
And you're going to hop out with me.
You don't have any weapons or anything on you, right?
OK.
All right, hold up.
You got a big old knife right here in your back pocket.
Do I?
I'm so sorry.
That's-- how can you forget that you have that?
I don't know.
It's a long story.
I've had it for, like, years now.
I've gotten in trouble with it a couple of times before.
And I didn't want it to get taken and--
See, so now we're getting somewhere.
So you remember that you had it.
But you didn't want it to get taken.
And you didn't want to get in trouble.
So you decided just to lie to me about it instead?
No.
I literally did--
Dude, you just told me that you remember it, dude.
Just be honest with me, man.
Because like I got in trouble with it about--
Have I said that you're going to get one right now?
No, but I'm just so sorry.
OK.
Just be honest with me.
OK?
That's the easiest way to do this.
OK?
Is there anything else in your car?
SUSPECT: In my book bag I have two more knives.
TIM MOHLER: You would-- wouldn't care
if I checked to make sure that's the only thing that's in here?
OK.
So look, man, I really don't think you're impaired tonight.
You do smell like it a little bit.
Just hang out here and talk to DFC [inaudible],, OK?
175, cover consent search.
Anytime you find these little alcohol preps,
it kind of makes your blood pump a little bit,
thinking that there might be a needle in here.
And then we have a rag with some blood on it.
TIM MOHLER: OK.
Are there any needles in the car?
No, sir.
TIM MOHLER: But I have alcohol preps.
I have a spoon.
Can you hook him up?
Just for right now?
Goodness.
That's a big-ass knife.
OK, that's a little strange.
So I got two big knives, a ski mask, and gloves.
What's this in here for?
TIM MOHLER: So it keeps you warm?
SUSPECT: Yes, sir.
I got you.
You see how it looks, though? SUSPECT: Yes, sir.
OK.
Yeah, we got something in here.
All right.
Dude, this will get you shot, man.
So this is one of the most realistic pellet rifles I've
ever seen, or pellet pistols.
I mean, this is not--
this is not normal what somebody would have.
In and of itself, the stuff that he has here
is legal to possess.
So we're-- I'm going to document the stop.
I'm going to send out an email to our detectives
and to the Sheriff's Office if this guy's matching
the description of anybody.
And then he's going to be sent on his way tonight.
Here's your driver's license.
Here's your registration.
I just wrote you a warning for your tail lights.
I have my mask and my gloves in there
that I use in the freezer.
And I immediately then got worried
because I was like you were going to make that assumption.
Oh, no, I made that assumption.
No, no, no.
Oh, no, I did.
I know.
If we're looking for somebody, and you have
all that stuff in your car--
do you know I mean?
It's--
I do.
It's not even going to be a factor anymore.
Sounds good.
Have a safe night.
Take care.
That was just a really strange traffic stop.
Hopefully, it's just a bad series of items
all together making, you know, a picture that's not really true.
And hopefully nothing ever will come of this.
We got a call about a vehicle that backed into a gas pump.
We're going to pull up and see what's going on.
Looks like the truck is stuck.
He is stuck.
What's going on, man?
What happened?
How did you-- first off, how did you manage doing that?
How much have you had to drink today?
OK.
Nothing at all?
Because your eyes are--
are you on medication or anything?
OK.
All right, man.
Sit tight for me.
Luckily nobody was hurt.
There was no fire that happened as a result of it.
He said that he had been crying a little bit.
And I didn't detect the odor of alcoholic beverage on him
or see any signs of impairment whatsoever.
I think it's just maybe the frustration got the best of him
tonight.
Were you here and saw it?
WOMAN: No, I--
MANAGER: No, I'm the district manager.
I don't think any of us saw it.
Oh, OK.
This is your all's place?
MANAGER: Yes.
WOMAN: Yeah.
MANAGER: Obviously, the main concern
is getting him off without doing any more damage or anything.
TIM MOHLER: Yeah, try and cut--
just real slow, inch off.
DRIVER: Oh, no.
No, turn to the left, a little bit farther,
pull, come back a little bit, stop.
Hold on.
Move this.
He can do, like, a 15-point turn and get out of here.
I would say back up, then turn a hard right.
And we might be able to just keep, little by little,
inch you away from this.
Now, hard right, just a little bit, little bit farther.
Stop.
I don't know if that's going to work.
TIM MOHLER: I think we can lift the truck over.
Come on, [inaudible].
OFFICER: What do you think?
We're going to have to bounce it like--
all right, you ready?
All right, ready--
1, 2, 3.
Yeah.
MANAGER: You got it, man.
You got it.
Yeah.
MANAGER: What a man.
And that is how you do it.
We were able to get a bunch of guys together,
and we just moved the truck, picked it up and moved it.
So he's going to be able to drive off now.
And his insurance company will take care of it
with the business owners.
So this car up front has a rear tag light out.
So that's why I'm going to stop him
or her, let them know what's going on,
and then go from there.
Hello.
This is the Sheriff's Deputy with Calvert
County Sheriff's Office.
Hi.
So I turned my lights off behind you because your tag lights
out.
Yeah, you probably didn't notice it.
So if there's nothing illegal, no bombs,
no prostitutes, no drugs, no PCP pipe,
anything like that in the car?
All right.
I smell marijuana in the car.
When was the last time you had anything in the car?
OK.
So go ahead and turn the car off and step out for me.
All right.
So right now, you're just being detained, all right?
So go ahead and turn around, put your arms behind your back.
All right.
So again, that's your story you're going to stick
to-- nothing in the car?
So now there is something in the car.
I try to tell you.
Just be honest with me.
I'm not going to BS you.
So why would you bull-- me?
Especially, when you know I smell it?
I'm telling you I smell it.
You smell it.
I know you smell it.
You know it's in there.
And we could have been fine.
But now you got me out here, trying
to play me as booboo the fool.
Come on, man.
We're better than that.
And what's the scale for?
OK.
A whole stack of money.
He has two stacks of 20s where he's divvied down over the 5s.
This stack only is down at 5s too.
JOE WARD: What kind of pills are these?
JOE WARD: Do you have a prescription?
This goes on a torch?
Oh, it goes on your bong piece?
But this one's yours?
Man, you're holding everything for everybody.
OFFICER: OK.
OFFICER: Can you [inaudible]?
OFFICER: What do you got?
There's definitely a lot stronger smell back here
than what little bit he had.
JOE WARD: See, I asked you if you had anything
else in that car, right?
All right. Stand up.
We're going to lock that car up.
All right.
So know you know you're under arrest.
All right, how much weight is that?
Step there.
So we have the gentleman going to jail for two possessions
with intent to distribute for the Adderall pills
and the marijuana.
The currency that he has divvied up,
we're going to confiscate that.
It's all vindictive to say he's the one that's selling this.
He's the one that's giving this weed to this community.
Man, all over a tag light too.
