I got some of our team here,
but I get the honor tonight of
riding with deputy Kyle Schuck.
And I got to tell you,
Kyle I've been told he is a go getter.
We're going to be out there all night long,
trying to put bad people in jail
and protecting the citizens of Brevard county.

- [Driver] Because one of y'all slammed me bro.
- So.
- [Driver] I ain't even do nothing man.
I was sitting here minding my own business.
- And selling drugs.
- [Wayne] And selling drugs. - [Driver] I wasn't selling.
- And selling drugs.
- [Driver] Did you see me selling drugs?
- And selling drugs.
- [Driver] Did you see me selling drugs?
- You have the intent.
- [Driver] The intent?
- Individual,
- [Driver] Intent? Man I'm a user, man.
- So this is MDMA. Molly.
It's going to be more Molly,
crack cocaine,
and then three individual packs of marijuana.
- [Driver] I know you man.
- [Officer] I know, I deal with you all the time.
Be cool, all right?
- [Driver] Man, for real man.
- [Officer] I know.
- [Driver] I didn't do anything man.
- [Officer] Stay sitting up.
I don't want you to hurt yourself.
- [Driver] For real man.
- Yeah I saw it.
As soon as you,
or I saw you as soon as you look down at it.
- Yeah.
I saw you.
I could see your actions change as soon as you saw it.
Is that all the stuff you have in the car?
- [Driver] It's hey,
whatever you found is whatever you found man.
- All right.
- [Driver] I told you man, I'm a user.
- This is crack cocaine.
This is what they call Molly.
It's MDMA or Eutylone.
And then this is probably going to be crushed Eutylone,
or MDMA which they call Molly.
It's really popular right now.
As you can see,
he has them individually packaged.
- [Kyle] This area right here Provost Park,
here at Var and Jackson is known for drug dealing.
People sit out here and do hand to hands all day.
So we'd like to check out with people,
see what they're up to.
So this is a positive for cocaine.
It's going to be crack cocaine right here.
The blue indicates cocaine.
- [Officer] Schuck's 10-15,
he needs to be transported to (indistinct)
- [Kyle] What's that?
- [Driver] You didn't have to do that, I was complying.
- You weren't complying, bro.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
Here's the thing.
You want to know what happened?
I come up,
I see a bag.
I see the bag right next to you, right?
So it's already... - [Driver] Okay, okay so,
- A lot of people selling drugs have guns.
- I don't have that. - I understand that,
but I don't know that.
So when I say get out of the car,
and you're not getting out of the car,
which you weren't doing,
you're just sitting here,
messing around,
reaching around.
I don't have time for that.
I can't have people reaching down to get a gun.
- So how can I unfasten the seatbelt...
- I told you bro.
It's all good.
It's not personal. It's okay.
- We're going to lift you up,
and we're gonna slide this board under your butt all right?
(upbeat rock music)
- Hey guys how's everybody?

You thought we weren't gonna see it?
(officers laughing)
Hey man stand right in front of the car okay?
You're all right?
Nothing else on you?
I think I've talked to you before.
- [Driver] No not for me.
- I haven't talked to you before?
- [Driver] When? Today?
- Have I at some poin..
No like a couple months ago.
(Driver clears throat)
- [Driver] No.
- Hey, this is my brother's truck (indistinct)
I need to call him.
- Yeah, we should be able to work something out for you,
all right?
(indistinct)
- Huh?
(pocket change jingling)
- [Officer] I didn't say nothing.
Face the car brotha.
Separate your feet.
(car door beeping)
So you don't know what's in that bag?
- I have no idea what's in that bag.
- All right.
Is it probably cocaine?
- Probably. - Probably?
- It's possible.
- When is the last time you used cocaine?
- Mm.
I'd say about three weeks ago maybe.
- Three weeks ago?
- Three weeks or a month.
No cocaine tonight?
Cause your peoples are really dilated man.
That's why I'm asking. - Really?
- Yeah.
- From drinking beer I guess.
I hit a joint earlier at the house.
- Oh, you smoked some marijuana earlier?
Okay.
You got to hold it out there bro, okay?
- Hold it out? Whatchu mean?
Like stare at it.
Okay it's going to go back and forth.
You on paper?
- What do you mean?
- You on probation?
You out on bond for anything?
- I ain't never been on probation or bond or anything.
I ain't never been in jail,
but for child support for once.
- You've never been charged with anything?
- No, not that I know of.
- You ain't gotta worry.
This ain't gonna be a big deal for you.
So we field tested this positive result for cocaine.
That driver here threw it out the window.
Which could be another charge,
but he's being really,
really cooperative so.
- What could be another charge?
- Throwing it out the window.
- [Officer] Destruction of evidence, man.
- Yeah. Tampering with evidence.
- Okay.
- Although I will tell you, bro,
that was the worst attempt at hiding,
hiding something that I've ever seen in my life.
- Oh no, I wasn't trying to hide on you.
- (laughing) I mean that was terrible.
- [Heckler] Wasn't doing a good job was he?
(Kyle laughing)
(upbeat rock music)
- [Wayne] So Kyle what's it like to work in Brevard county?
You see what's happening across the rest of the country.
What's it like with our community here?
- [Kyle] We get a lot of support from you.
We get a lot of support from the community here.
I don't care what the news says.
You can say what you want.
They love us. They love seeing us out there.
And there's a few knuckleheads that we deal with,
but even them are pretty respectful to us.
So we have a good time,
and it's a great place to work.
- [Wayne] Well Kyle,
thanks for letting me ride with you tonight, man.
- Anytime! Hope you had fun.
- It was absolutely awesome brother.
- I had a blast.
I know your team's proud of everything you do out here.
We're certainly proud of your brother.
Thank you for all you do brother.
- All right, drive safe. Have a good one.
Have a good night. You be safe brother.
(door shutting)
- Man what a great night riding with Kyle.
We had a lot of fun,
had some great laughs,
we got to put two bad people in jail.
Even got to see one of them whine
because he had incarceritis.
That guy's got it going on,
that's how we protect our citizens in Brevard county.
We'll see you next time on Riding Shotgun.
