[Daughter] Daddy!
Lightbrite!
Tonight is your night, girl
Tonight is your night, girl
[Daughter] What time will
you be home, Your Honor?
Festivities initiate at
5 PM on the button, Button.
Who's got the button?
[Daughter] So 4:45?
That's sounds sound
to me, little one.
[Lynn] Hon, don't forget.
Lynn, dear, I'm on it.
Cake is my life.
I'll pick up the
pastry on the way home.
[Lynn] The pinwheels, hon.
She wants pinwheels on the cake.
Oh no, I already got it.
[Lynn] Silly, any updates
on the chamber renovation?
Apparently, they're in
the electrical phases.
This is fun, trying
not to touch anything.
[Daughter] Bye!
[Lynn] Okay, hon,
we'll see you tonight.
[Daughter] Bye.

Skylar, it's a yes.
Right, I would need to
see how much was deleted.
Mm-hm, gray Beamer.
(judge sighs)
(light jazz music)
Dr. Martinez, I'm
glad I caught you then.
Yes, I did receive the email
and we would like to go forward
with the procedure.
Well, that type of
cost is expected
for the high success rate.
No, no prior surgeries.
No, what address did you...
Ah, that's my home address.
No, it's fine.
(dog barks)
(driver curses)
14.50, I got 14.50 for you
right here, motherfucker, 1450!
Kiss my fucking...
(dramatic music)

Fuck!

Hey, I'm looking for-
[Guy] Oh, hell no, I
had to make sure, man,
'cause this just can't be.
Mr. foreman, born again
family man himself.
Whoa, be careful, sir, you
could stir up some judgment
by affiliating yourself
with folks like us again.
Yeah, so you still live?
(horn honks)
[Guy] What?
Yo, yo, you for real, man?
- Yeah.
- [Guy] Yo, man, I'm...
You know, whatever it is.
Same location, same coin?
[Guy] But ain't this like
picking at scars or something?
Are you sure about this?
Yeah, yeah, I can be
there hot by evening.
[Guy] Damn, okay then,
I gotta know something,
too, Toretto.
You still cool?
You know I'm still cool.
(light music)
(heels clacking)
[Assistant] Your notes for
your speech tomorrow, sir.
Yes, dear, let's get
that out of the way.
(light jazz music)
Ah, well, let's hear
what you have first.
[Assistant] Sir?
Certainly.
[Assistant] All right.
Judicial temperament is
a lack of arrogance born
of self-confidence
and a sense of self.
It is both measured restraint
and measured intervention.
It is fairness.
It is equal treatment
and open consideration
for all participants
in the process.
Too orthodox?
No, no, dear, please.
[Assistant] In my time
serving, I can attest
that with judicial power comes
judicial duty to be steadfast
among the spoils of
the corrupt and those
that believe the only motivator
of people is fear and money.
This cancer has a cure
that is transparency,
which I will continue to aid.
And that's all I
have right now, sir.
My dear, you should
be at the White House
writing such things, superb.
Email those to me, please.
We'll go over mine
when we get a chance.
[Assistant] Thank you,
sir, and happy birthday
to your little girl.
Congratulations again,
sir, for tomorrow.
It's an honorable award.
Thank you, dear, so lovely.

Well, tomorrow will
still be there tomorrow.
The rest of the day
belongs to my little one.
Yeah, our neighbors
can be quite funny.

(car purrs)

What time did you
drop it off exactly?
They're not far then.
No, they must be
blocking it somehow.
I'm gonna have to call you back.
Keep trying these

I have his car,
it's an older Civic.
He must've dropped his
key getting into mine.
It's him, are you
ready for the plate?
A chile and limon
licking beaner, no doubt.
Sorry, El Chapo, odds are we
caught one of your minions.
Oh, nope, maybe not.
He lives on the east side.
I'm gonna head that
way and take a sniff.
It's likely he's elsewhere.
No, it's not his cherry,
but it's been awhile
since his past lifts.
You know, he was part
of a crew it looks like.
Now, you know I can't put any
of my other guys on this, right?
I mean, Dakota, well,
he's still on paid leave
for his cock up.
It's just us.
Now, my best guess is that he's
gonna take it to a chop shop
in or around the city.
So I know most of those
and with any luck,
he's not gonna have time to
go snooping in that trunk.
So I'm gonna send you
addresses for the ones in town
and I'm gonna take
the outskirts.

[Hoodie] You know what
this stands for, Sweetie?
Look, it's cool
you visiting and all,
but on the phone, you
were clearly tripping.
What grade are
you in, Sweetie?
[Dee] Fourth.
I need your daughter's
school-issued laptop
so I can see what's on a
camera that was in a car
that I lifted earlier today.
(clock ticks)
[Dee] And how much
are those in her size?
10k, some even go up to 60.
Plus, the PT that
helps her learn how
to use it isn't free either.
I see now, and you
trust Guy will have the 13
for you tonight
when you deliver?
Don't these cams have screens?
Well, I think this one's
disabled or something.
Regardless, I mean, what's it
doing on the judge's Beamer?
Assuming that was a
judge's robe you found,
what are you expecting to see?
Something that's worth 49k.
(dramatic music)
Same file, different sizes.
[Dakota] Hey, how's
it going there, partner?
[Victim] Fine.
[Dakota] Can you
shut off your engine?
I've seen this on
someone's Tok feed before.
Hey, Poptart, go to
your room, please.
I'll come get you
when it's over.
[Dakota] 'Cause I
saw you driving slowly,
it looked like you were
casing parked cars.
Cop clipped a guy
in self defense.
Had his own piece
in the glove box.
Why is it skipping
forward so much?
[Victim] For what?
Cam malfunction, they said.
Rushed the driver to
the ER, but nopes.
Let's see the larger one.
[Dakota] You wanna get tased?
[Victim] Excuse me?
You're trip pin, homie.
This is my ride and I work
here in one of these buildings.
[Dakota] Yeah, this late?
[Victim] Yes, I just got out.
[Dakota] I'm not
gonna tell you again.
[Victim] What did I
do for you to arrest me?
[Dakota] I'm not arresting
you, I'm detaining you.
[Victim] For what?
[Dakota] Step out of the car!
I have a 10-61 and a code 4.
[Victim] Look, man, I
have a gun in the glove box.
[Dakota] Yeah, I bet you do.
[Victim] It's registered
and I have a permit to carry.
I'm telling you 'cause
I can see you're trying
to shut off your body camera.
[Dakota] Get your beaner ass-
[Victim] My hands
are here, puerco.
Don't shove me,
man, don't shove me.
Mamahuevo-(gun fires)
Pero Dios mio, his
hands were empty.
Why is he putting his gloves on?
He's taking out the driver's
gun from his glove box.
Did you just see that?
He put-
Yeah, to make it look
like he pulled out
the gun on him.
[Dakota] Shots
fired, shots fired.
Officer involved, 10-52.
Can I get an EMS?
(police chatter)
[GPS] You have arrived.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
Hey, looking for
something in particular?

A news network.
Boom, yes, yes!
But you'll want
to remain anonymous.
Hell yes.
Tac9 and story hotline.
(phone rings)
[Operator] Tac9 hotline.
[Hoodie] Yeah,
hi, I have a video
that I think would be
of interest to you guys.
I wasn't sure how
to go about that
if I wanted to remain anonymous.
[Operator] Of course,
and may I ask what topic
or type of story you
think your video's about?
Yeah, it's a police
shooting of a Hispanic male
in a parking lot.
I have that footage.
[Operator] Over at the
Crossing Center parking lot?
That footage has already
been released, sir.
Yeah, but you see, I
have the uncut version.
[Operator] You're a witness?
[Hoodie] No, no, I have the
police body camera and footage
of another person
placing that body cam
into I believe a judge's Beamer.
[Operator] And you have
these in your possession
and you wish to
remain anonymous.
That's right.
So do I ship it to you guys
or do you have a drop box?
[Operator] Yes, let me place
you on a brief hold, please.
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
Thank you for holding.
We are very interested
in your videos
and would like to
pay for both of them.
Pay, and still remain
anonymous, right?
Yeah, this is how it works.
We'll give you an address and
we recommend you come alone
and don't wear or say anything
that may identify you.
One of our field news
agents will meet with you,
review the footage and
after determining the impact
of the story, we'll write
you a check for cash.
Oh, I see, okay.
Can I call you back?
Of course, whenever you're
ready, call this number
253-120-2016.
Come with me, Dee. Come
with me like med us a style,
like old times.
Dee, I'll make it
worth your time.
What, no, I have to
take her to my mom's
and then to my next shift.
All right, then, just
hold the money for me
just I get back.
You know why I was the first
to leave the crew, don't you?
Yeah, and I've been
straight ever since.
But don't you see
how we can be doing
the right thing with this?
Don't you see how this
can save his both?
Yeah, I also see now
that the how matters, too.
If your wife loves you, she'll
be on your side of the truth.
You've been without work for
two months and in your mind,
you had no other choice.
You've scored more
than enough today.
Be smart, cut loose of this.
Mail it in, dump the wheels,
go home to your baby's party.

Go right ahead, it's

Thank you.

(light music)

Hey, hold on, hold on, hey.

(dramatic music)
You didn't think you were
gonna get away with it, did you?
Get away with what exactly?
The bathroom's
for customers only.
(dramatic music)
Now, what can I get you?
A beer, surprise me. Again.
Thank you.
(phone rings)
Hi, babe.
Yeah, mm-hm.
Yeah, that's what
I'm telling them.
The worst day to
have me to stay late.
This freaking
project coordinator,
he has me on the 10th.
Mm-hm, yeah, Piper, that prick.
Has me on the
tenth floor looking
at the same blueprints for 15...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
probably why the reception up here
is so clear, but
I'll be on time.
Not only that, too,
I have some news.
Yeah, it'll be uh, it's
gonna open up, this uh.
It's gonna be great.
Yeah, let me call you when
I'm on my way back, all right.
Bye, I love you.
Well said.
Assuming you're on time for?
My daughter's party.
How old?
Seven.
You?
[Judge] Tomorrow, as well.
(Hoodie laughs)
(judge laughs)
Yeah, absolutely,
I'll be there.
Actually, my entire
day has been bent
around getting her
what she asked for.
I realized I should
have known my limits,
but I just know she's gonna
jump for joy when she gets it.
Mine won't say,
but I know what she
wishes for in the dark.
And that, my friend,
I will provide.
To our babies' wishes
by any means necessary.
Well said, my
friend, no limits.
(light music)
(car revs)
(car revs)
Okay.
(phone rings)
[Operator] Yeah.
Yeah, I was told to call
this number if I wanted
to remain anonymous
but still get paid
for the footage I have.
This is Tac9 News, right?
[Operator] Someone
will call you back.
(phone rings)
Hello?
[Agent] Tri Acto hotel on
South M Street, room 249,

you were expecting, right?
Likewise, my apologies for
the precautionary approach.
Thanks, Brock.
Eh, not necessary,

have a real riot maker
on your hands.
Ready to share?

Exceeds expectations

Let's just call it a go ahead
and leave with the money
before the teller realizes
he gave you a few extra
bundles type scenario.
(dramatic music)
(agent sighs)
Little tardy with the eyes
down, ears open bit, huh?
Would it help if I told
you they were dirty, too?
More cops?
Higher up than that, the
ones that protect the judges
and the corruptaucrats.
But you only called Tac9 News.
Yeah, rotten apples
everywhere, right?
So you're...
Making sure that the right
version gets out this time.
What if I had made copies?
Yeah, well, regardless,
you and the Beamer,
your phone weren't
leaving this property,
not to mention the money in
that white beer case, soda?
I couldn't tell from your video.
Look, it should
be obvious by now
we're not interested
in any of that, okay?
Consider it a finder's fee.
We just wanna know a rough
estimate of the amount.
Amount?
Yeah, see, these guys get
Donald Ducked a lot longer
if the bribe money
actually turns up,
so we need to know
about how much.
I don't know, 20, 25,000.
Okay.
Oh, one more thing
before you leave.
Brock here is gonna have to
do a last sweep of the chariot
just to make sure you didn't
miss anything, no offense.
Okay, analogy version.
Rain storms, (eerie music)
nobody wants to get wet,
but sometimes
their umbrella jams
or they weren't careful
enough to bring it
in the first place.
That's when we come in
In other storms, vice versa.
But some years, umbrellas
were refused between us
and then you get
Watergate in the '70s,
Judge Maloney in '91,
LA Rampart scandal '98,
Gun Trace, Baltimore, 2017.
And for us, 2002, Boston.
And so on and so on.
Well, let's just say their
umbrella got stuck again.
(dramatic music)
- So...
So may the wrath of
God shower upon them.
(dramatic music)
(phone rings)
Hey, Guy, listen,
I gotta dump it.
[Guy] Bullshit, you ain't
dumping nada, Memphis Raines.
I have clients already
lined up for those parts.
Yo, Guy, listen-
[Guy] Did you brain-shart
on how it works?
It's my ass with these guys now.
Please with powdered sugar on
top bring me the fucking car.
You jamming the GPS, right?
Yeah,

And look, he may have
already dumped it
and it will just
turn up tomorrow.
Or he found the package
and he's scared shit less
and doesn't know what to do.
Either way, by
this time tomorrow-
There is no fucking tomorrow!
We will find him today
or else we won't have the luxury
of tomorrow, Captain Skylar.
[GPS] Vehicle signal found.
(signal beeps)
What is it?
Someone must've removed
whatever he was using
to block the signal.
The car is still moving.
Location?
It's heading up South Pike.
(Skylar laughs)
Central district, I

[Reporter] A breaking
news story just in.
Newly found footage from Officer
Dakota Bottom's body camera
has been anonymously
released online,
revealing an illegal
fatal shooting of a driver
at the Crossing Center, which
had previously been reported
as self defense for the officer
involved. (dramatic music)
The source of this new evidence
is unknown at this time,
yet the identities of
the suspects involved
have been released
based on the video,
Circuit court judge
Cedric W. Godfrey
and veteran police
captain Skylar Mckrain.
Initial reports are
saying charges of bribery,
evidence tampering as
well as a possible history
of the same.
There have been no reports
of an arrest at this time.
(dramatic music)

No!

Could it have anything to

or hardcore party beats tonight?

Yes, I did receive the email

Well, that type of
cost is expected
for the high success rate.
No, no prior surgeries.
No, what address did you...
Ah, that's my home address.
No, it's fine.
(dog barks)
(driver curses)
14.50, I got 14.50 for you
right here, motherfucker, 1450!

Hey, I'm looking for-
[Guy] Oh, hell no, I
had to make sure, man,
'cause this just can't be.
Mr. foreman, born again
family man himself.
Whoa, be careful, sir, you
could stir up some judgment
by affiliating yourself
with folks like us again.
Yeah, so you still live?
(horn honks)
[Guy] What?
Yo, yo, you for real, man?
- Yeah.
- [Guy] Yo, man, I'm...
You know, whatever it is.
Same location, same coin?
[Guy] But ain't this like
picking at scars or something?
Are you sure about this?
Yeah, yeah, I can be
there hot by evening.
[Guy] Damn, okay then,
I gotta know something,
too, Toretto.
You still cool?
You know I'm still cool.
(light music)
(heels clacking)
[Assistant] Your notes for
your speech tomorrow, sir.
Yes, dear, let's get
that out of the way.
(light jazz music)
Ah, well, let's hear
what you have first.
[Assistant] Sir?
Certainly.
[Assistant] All right.
Judicial temperament is
a lack of arrogance born
of self-confidence
and a sense of self.
It is both measured restraint
and measured intervention.
It is fairness.
It is equal treatment
and open consideration
for all participants
in the process.
Too orthodox?
No, no, dear, please.
[Assistant] In my time
serving, I can attest
that with judicial power comes
judicial duty to be steadfast
among the spoils of
the corrupt and those
that believe the only motivator
of people is fear and money.
This cancer has a cure
that is transparency,
which I will continue to aid.
And that's all I
have right now, sir.
My dear, you should
be at the White House
writing such things, superb.
Email those to me, please.
We'll go over mine
when we get a chance.
[Assistant] Thank you,
sir, and happy birthday
to your little girl.
Congratulations again,
sir, for tomorrow.
It's an honorable award.
Thank you, dear, so lovely.

I have his car,

He must've dropped his

It's him, are you
ready for the plate?
A chile and limon
licking beaner, no doubt.
Sorry, El Chapo, odds are we
caught one of your minions.
Oh, nope, maybe not.
He lives on the east side.
I'm gonna head that
way and take a sniff.
It's likely he's elsewhere.
No, it's not his cherry,
but it's been awhile
since his past lifts.
You know, he was part
of a crew it looks like.
Now, you know I can't put any
of my other guys on this, right?
I mean, Dakota, well,
he's still on paid leave
for his cock up.
It's just us.
Now, my best guess is that he's
gonna take it to a chop shop
in or around the city.
So I know most of those
and with any luck,
he's not gonna have time to
go snooping in that trunk.
So I'm gonna send you
addresses for the ones in town
and I'm gonna take
the outskirts.

[Hoodie] You know what

Look, it's cool
you visiting and all,
but on the phone, you

What grade are
you in, Sweetie?
[Dee] Fourth.
I need your daughter's
school-issued laptop
so I can see what's on a
camera that was in a car
that I lifted earlier today.
(clock ticks)
[Dee] And how much
are those in her size?
10k, some even go up to 60.
Plus, the PT that
helps her learn how
to use it isn't free either.
I see now, and you
trust Guy will have the 13
for you tonight
when you deliver?
Don't these cams have screens?
Well, I think this one's
disabled or something.
Regardless, I mean, what's it
doing on the judge's Beamer?
Assuming that was a
judge's robe you found,
what are you expecting to see?
Something that's worth 49k.
(dramatic music)
Same file, different sizes.
[Dakota] Hey, how's
it going there, partner?
[Victim] Fine.
[Dakota] Can you
shut off your engine?
I've seen this on
someone's Tok feed before.
Hey, Poptart, go to
your room, please.
I'll come get you
when it's over.
[Dakota] 'Cause I
saw you driving slowly,
it looked like you were
casing parked cars.
Cop clipped a guy
in self defense.
Had his own piece
in the glove box.
Why is it skipping
forward so much?
[Victim] For what?
Cam malfunction, they said.
Rushed the driver to
the ER, but nopes.
Let's see the larger one.
[Dakota] You wanna get tased?
[Victim] Excuse me?
You're trip pin, homie.
This is my ride and I work
here in one of these buildings.
[Dakota] Yeah, this late?
[Victim] Yes, I just got out.
[Dakota] I'm not
gonna tell you again.
[Victim] What did I
do for you to arrest me?
[Dakota] I'm not arresting
you, I'm detaining you.
[Victim] For what?
[Dakota] Step out of the car!
I have a 10-61 and a code 4.
[Victim] Look, man, I
have a gun in the glove box.
[Dakota] Yeah, I bet you do.
[Victim] It's registered
and I have a permit to carry.
I'm telling you 'cause
I can see you're trying
to shut off your body camera.
[Dakota] Get your beaner ass-
[Victim] My hands
are here, puerco.
Don't shove me,
man, don't shove me.
Mamahuevo-(gun fires)
Pero Dios mio, his
hands were empty.
Why is he putting his gloves on?
He's taking out the driver's
gun from his glove box.
Did you just see that?
He put-
Yeah, to make it look
like he pulled out
the gun on him.
[Dakota] Shots
fired, shots fired.
Officer involved, 10-52.
Can I get an EMS?

Boom, yes, yes!
But you'll want
to remain anonymous.
Hell yes.
Tac9 and story hotline.
(phone rings)
[Operator] Tac9 hotline.
[Hoodie] Yeah,
hi, I have a video
that I think would be
of interest to you guys.
I wasn't sure how
to go about that
if I wanted to remain anonymous.
[Operator] Of course,
and may I ask what topic
or type of story you
think your video's about?
Yeah, it's a police
shooting of a Hispanic male
in a parking lot.
I have that footage.
[Operator] Over at the
Crossing Center parking lot?
That footage has already
been released, sir.
Yeah, but you see, I
have the uncut version.
[Operator] You're a witness?
[Hoodie] No, no, I have the
police body camera and footage
of another person
placing that body cam
into I believe a judge's Beamer.
[Operator] And you have
these in your possession
and you wish to
remain anonymous.
That's right.
So do I ship it to you guys
or do you have a drop box?
[Operator] Yes, let me place
you on a brief hold, please.
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
Thank you for holding.
We are very interested
in your videos
and would like to
pay for both of them.
Pay, and still remain
anonymous, right?
Yeah, this is how it works.
We'll give you an address and
we recommend you come alone
and don't wear or say anything
that may identify you.
One of our field news
agents will meet with you,
review the footage and
after determining the impact
of the story, we'll write
you a check for cash.
Oh, I see, okay.
Can I call you back?
Of course, whenever you're
ready, call this number
253-120-2016.
Come with me, Dee. Come
with me like med us a style,
like old times.
Dee, I'll make it
worth your time.
What, no, I have to
take her to my mom's
and then to my next shift.
All right, then, just
hold the money for me
just I get back.
You know why I was the first
to leave the crew, don't you?
Yeah, and I've been
straight ever since.
But don't you see
how we can be doing
the right thing with this?
Don't you see how this
can save his both?
Yeah, I also see now
that the how matters, too.
If your wife loves you, she'll
be on your side of the truth.
You've been without work for
two months and in your mind,
you had no other choice.
You've scored more
than enough today.
Be smart, cut loose of this.
Mail it in, dump the wheels,
go home to your baby's party.

(dramatic music)
Now, what can I get you?
A beer, surprise me. Again.
Thank you.

Hi, babe.
Yeah, mm-hm.
Yeah, that's what
I'm telling them.
The worst day to
have me to stay late.
This freaking
project coordinator,
he has me on the 10th.
Mm-hm, yeah, Piper, that prick.
Has me on the
tenth floor looking
at the same blueprints for 15...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
probably why the reception up here
is so clear, but
I'll be on time.
Not only that, too,
I have some news.
Yeah, it'll be uh, it's
gonna open up, this uh.
It's gonna be great.
Yeah, let me call you when
I'm on my way back, all right.
Bye, I love you.
Well said.
Assuming you're on time for?
My daughter's party.
How old?
Seven.
You?
[Judge] Tomorrow, as well.
(Hoodie laughs)
(judge laughs)
Yeah, absolutely,
I'll be there.
Actually, my entire
day has been bent
around getting her
what she asked for.
I realized I should
have known my limits,
but I just know she's gonna
jump for joy when she gets it.
Mine won't say,
but I know what she
wishes for in the dark.
And that, my friend,
I will provide.
To our babies' wishes
by any means necessary.
Well said, my
friend, no limits.
(light music)
(car revs)

Okay.
(phone rings)
[Operator] Yeah.
Yeah, I was told to call
this number if I wanted
to remain anonymous
but still get paid
for the footage I have.
This is Tac9 News, right?
[Operator] Someone
will call you back.

Little tardy with the eyes
down, ears open bit, huh?
Would it help if I told
you they were dirty, too?
More cops?
Higher up than that, the
ones that protect the judges
and the corruptaucrats.
But you only called Tac9 News.
Yeah, rotten apples
everywhere, right?
So you're...
Making sure that the right
version gets out this time.
What if I had made copies?
Yeah, well, regardless,
you and the Beamer,
your phone weren't
leaving this property,
not to mention the money in
that white beer case, soda?
I couldn't tell from your video.
Look, it should
be obvious by now
we're not interested
in any of that, okay?
Consider it a finder's fee.
We just wanna know a rough
estimate of the amount.
Amount?
Yeah, see, these guys get
Donald Ducked a lot longer
if the bribe money
actually turns up,
so we need to know
about how much.
I don't know, 20, 25,000.
Okay.
Oh, one more thing
before you leave.
Brock here is gonna have to
do a last sweep of the chariot
just to make sure you didn't
miss anything, no offense.
Okay, analogy version.
Rain storms, (eerie music)

And for us, 2002, Boston.
And so on and so on.
Well, let's just say their

So may the wrath of
God shower upon them.

Hey, Guy, listen,

[Guy] Bullshit, you ain't

Yo, Guy, listen-

Or he found the package
and he's scared shit less

Either way, by

There is no fucking tomorrow!
We will find him today
or else we won't have the luxury

[Reporter] A breaking
news story just in.
Newly found footage from Officer
Dakota Bottom's body camera
has been anonymously
released online,
revealing an illegal
fatal shooting of a driver
at the Crossing Center, which
had previously been reported
as self defense for the officer
involved. (dramatic music)
The source of this new evidence
is unknown at this time,
yet the identities of
the suspects involved
have been released
based on the video,
Circuit court judge
Cedric W. Godfrey
and veteran police
captain Skylar Mckrain.
Initial reports are
saying charges of bribery,
evidence tampering as
well as a possible history
of the same.
There have been no reports
of an arrest at this time.
