It's great because you get a lot of the fun trips, the more high-risk trips.
You know, if somebody's gonna be combative, or assaultive, you can push it a little bit further because you know that somebody's got your back.
And you're not going to be, be out there by yourself.
We got a report of two white males that have vandalized a fence down the road here.
And, uh, possibly intoxicated.

Looks like it's slowing down.
Hey, man, it's just been a bad night, man.

You were being cooperative, and I appreciate that.
I'm, I'm sorry, man.
If I'd have been able to talk to him, man, it would have been a whole different situation.
That's the thing.
I don't know that there was any talking to him.
You're going to have a long trip over to County, so you're going to be able to talk to him through that glass.
Yes, sir.
What you need to do is you need to tell him to be cool when he gets to the jail, because they don't mess around there.

Yeah.
But, you know, then he All he had to do was cooperate, put his hands on his head, let you pat him down But no, he couldn't do it.
Hey, guys, good morning.
Basically what we're going to do is varied buy-busts throughout the day.
We're going to use the same hotel we used before.
The hotel's been nice enough to donate the room to us.
As soon as we get done Agent Lang and Jerra will actually secure those two rooms.
Be just like before.
One way in, one way out.
It's a setup just right for us.
We've got hotel rooms towards the back of the hotel.
Side by side rooms.
They're not adjoining.
So just like in the past, we'll have an undercover agent being Jerra or myself along with the C.
I.
Our take-down vehicle will pull in from the dealership.
Pull in, and again, we all know it's just one way in, go in, box in the vehicle and then the marked units will basically move in to kind of help give that added police presence.
We'll do a deal.
It's going to vary throughout the day.
Mostly crack cocaine.
Hey, here's what's going down.
It's going to be an unknown black male.
Expect the guy to go into the room, and once that happens and there's a go, we'll take the room.
However, we want to make sure we coordinate it where the take- down vehicle comes in at the same time.
Hello.
Yeah, what's up? Yeah, I got a room.
Okay, where do I meet you at? Uh, I'm in 121, man.
I can do 200, man.
How long before you can get here? - I can be there in about - I'll see you in a couple.
Okay, 13 to units.
The phone call was good.
We're expecting a younger black male, mid 20s.
Possibly Here comes the vehicle.
Okay, we've got a red Mustang, tinted windows coming in.
Not sure, parking.
Black male, white wife beater shirt.
Looks like a black male.
White wife beater-- driver.
He's getting out.
This guy's in a white tank top, slender build, short hair.
All right, stand by.
That should be him, that should be the target.
Stand by.
What's up? All right, stand by.
One, two, three, four, five.
Ain't got no baking soda in it.
It's all good, man.
It's just straight coke.
Take down, take down, take down.
Police! On the ground! On the ground! Now! On the ground! Get on the ground! Let's see your hands! Police! Police! Don't move, dude.
Don't move, don't move.
I'm not moving, sir.
Don't move.
Check for weapons.
I'm Agent Harley with the County Narcotics.
You're being placed under arrest at this time for sale of a controlled substance.
Do you understand that? Yes, sir.
All right, sir.
You're not injured or anything, are you? No, sir.
Okay, sir.
Let's go ahead and get him up.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Just have a seat on the bed right here.
Do you have any additional narcotics inside that vehicle? Uh-uh.
I just have a weapon.
You do have a gun in the car? Yes, sir.
You're saying a gun in the car, no additional drugs? L.
T.
will take a picture.
Okay, sir, have you ever been arrested before? Okay, convicted felon? You are in fact a convicted felon? Okay.
Yeah.
From outside the vehicle, we can see in plain view between the driver's seat and the center console, appears to be the handle of a small-caliber revolver.
That's visible from outside of the vehicle.
That's your vehicle outside? Mm-hmm.
Okay.
You currently on probation or parole? For what? Um, narcotics.
Narcotics? Okay.
What we have here-- it's about around $150, $200 worth of crack.
Actually sold to the undercover agent.
And kind of bragged that his crack was the best in town.
No baking soda, so And per his own admit-ness, he's currently on either probation or parole for sales of the controlled substance.
He'll be going to the Chatham County Jail for processing.
Everything went great on that.
Good job, everybody.
I appreciate the teamwork.
And we already made a phone call to the other girl we've already briefed about.
She's on the way.
So probably going to have someone with her, hopefully.
So do it all over again.
Got a red Chevrolet truck king cab, occupied two times going towards the back.
White female passenger wearing a white shirt.
All right, so that's going to be her, so stand by.
Got a red maroon burgundy pickup truck.
Occupied twice.
Someone's getting out.
She's getting out.
Female's getting out, approaching the door.
White shirt, blue ball cap, blue jeans.
What's up? How you doing? Okay, let's see what I have.
Okay, look at it.
Here's what I have.
Basically right now, the deal the deal just went down, they're doing a little discussion.
We're going to try to also add a prostitution charge on her.
A little later, whatever? Yeah, I'll come back and party with you.
What do I get for $100? You get as much as you want.
Much as I want? We all good, though? Yeah.
All right.
There he goes.
There he goes.
There he goes.
Go.
Hands all the way down.
Get on the ground! Give me your hands.
Give me your hands.
I don't have anything.
Don't fight.
Don't fight.
Don't fight.
Don't fight! - If you still fight - Hands behind your back, or you will be tasered.
Listen to me, listen to me, quiet.
You got anything on you that will stick me? No.
Anything I need to know about? I don't have anything.
Okay.
Open your mouth up, tongue.
I have nothing.
When the driver was being taken out of the vehicle, he was seen throwing what appeared to be a pill bottle underneath the seat.
Here's the pill bottle that the agents were describing, they saw him throw.
Um, a good amount of powdered cocaine.
That's chunked up.
That's off the brick chunked up.
That's compressed.
Um, I'd say easy 15, 17 grams.
And some additional crack right here in between the passenger seat and the passenger door.
And that goes with what the agents said they saw.
They saw the throwing motion, they saw the pill bottle.
That was pretty evident in bright orange underneath the seat where they saw it.
They said he was throwing back the entire time they were trying to get him out of the truck.
How can I get out? I don't know.
That's something you've got to figure out.
But if there's no bond, how am I going to get out? Eventually, eventually you'll become bondable.
I can't, though.
From there, and from there, you'll go from there.
You've got to understand, this situation's one you created for yourself.
You put yourself here.
All I was trying to do was make a couple of bucks so I could get some dog food.
You're being charged with sales and use of a telecommunication device, okay? Both are felonies.
What's the telecomm? Means you talked on a cell phone to arrange a drug deal.
All right now, come on.
You might as well leave the cigarettes, 'cause you ain't gonna be able to smoke no more.
Can I smoke one on the way to the car? You can smoke on the way to the car, no problem.
Here.
Going to try to get some water.
Give me this one here, and we'll throw this one away, okay? You know, I really need my phone and you took it off of me.
No, the phone's evidence now, okay? Come on, I already told you all this.
Thank you.
Come on.
Listen, I don't know why you sat here and did this today.
Is this really worth $20? All this? You know, my dog's gonna be hungry.
Well, what about your husband? You said you have a - husband to take care - He's an idiot.
He doesn't live in town.
Your husband's an idiot? He doesn't live in town.
Okay.
Well, make sure we get you a phone number, okay? I need all them numbers.
Well, we're not going to write them all down.
You can have a couple numbers that are important to write down and take to jail with you, okay? Worked out really well.
We got one gun that come back stolen, and that came back to a convicted felon.
And all together we got about one and a half ounces of crack cocaine.
Hopefully, made an impact on the community.
I've lived here all of my life, with the exception of what few times I've been deployed.
I've been fortunate enough to see several different parts of the country and several different parts of the world.
I enjoy it here.
This is-- it's a bigger city, but not too big.
And it has a nice-- the atmosphere that I enjoy.
I guess we've got a naked individual proning himself out on the ground.
The other officer's already arrived on scene.
And I don't know if he's interviewed him enough to find out, but apparently he's-- our naked individual's on bath salts.
It's the latest and greatest in the craze of crazes.
Makes them very paranoid, a little crazy.
Shoot it up or smoke it? I snorted it.
You snorted it? How long ago? Uh, last time I did it was probably around noon.
Around noon? Mm-hmm.
So he's on bath salts, trying to prove to his family that he's sober.
You know you're naked right now? Yes, I do.
That's 'cause your body's too hot or what? No, it's because I wanted to show them that there's nothing on my body.
So where did you come from? 'Cause we got a call that you were walking down the middle of Glenstone.
I was trying, I was trying to get arrested.
You were trying to get arrested? Yes.
Why you want to get arrested? What for? Because I'm tired of the drugs.
What kind of drugs? I'm tired of the drug life.
Wouldn't you rather just check into treatment? Self-admit? They just made me make the choice the hardest way possible.
How did you get here? Um, it's a long, long story.
Where are your clothes? Where'd you leave your clothes at? Over, uh, in the Drury lawn.
On the Drury lawn? Mm-hmm.
Where at on the Drury lawn? The college? Yeah, just right over there.
By the, right by Glenstone.
Why'd you leave them up there at Evangel? Uh, 'cause I was trying to get attention.
Where are they? Just right by the road.
How'd you get there? I walked.
From where? I've been walking all night.
I've walked everywhere.
You said last time you snorted the bath salts was around noon? - Um - Are you sure about that? 'Cause it's about Yes.
Yeah? No, it may have been a couple of hours later than that, but it was around there.
You haven't done any since? No.
Have you been like this since then? Not naked, no.
Well, I mean, herky jerky.
You're all tweaking.
No, I'm not tweaking.
You're not? I'm tired.
Tired? Yeah.
You worn out from walking? Yeah.
Long day, huh? I've been tired for-- let's see, I've been up for about two or three days.
For two or three days? Two days? Yeah, I think it was about two days.
If I go up there and look for your clothes, what am I, what am I looking for? What were you wearing? I was wearing slacks and a button-down shirt-- it's probably really dirty.
What color was the shirt before it got dirty? Blue.
Left work early today.
Did you have a bad day at work? Is that why you left early? No, I was, uh, I was fiending really bad and they noticed it.
So they tell you to go home? No, I-I told them that I was sick and I, and I wanted to go home.
- You told them that - And it turns out, they had a magnificent plan, because they followed me.
And I noticed it, with the paranoia.
Uh, I started walking.
It was about here.
With the paranoia from the bath salts? Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I turned around, and I saw one of the guys driving a car and was looking at me.
And I normally don't-don't go down that road.
Okay.
And so I kept walking and stuff.
And then I got to the, I got to the place where I was getting more.
- And, uh - You stopped someplace else to get some more bath salts? Yeah.
Okay.
Where was that? Um uh It was at a, it was down at a friend's house.
Here in town? Yeah, mm-hmm.
Is it close? It feels like it's forever.
I bet, if you been walking all day.
Chris, you know your ABC's? Yes, I do.
Can you recite them without singing it for us? Yes.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z.
Good.
Chris, you know that bath salts are gonna be illegal here in a couple weeks? Yes, I do.
It got approved through legislation.
It's gonna be the same thing as marijuana, okay? Mm-hmm.
All right? So you probably need to knock that off and not do it anymore.
Absolutely.
It's gonna be like meth, marijuana, all that stuff.
It'll keep you from getting set up for success that way.
That way, we don't find you here naked in the street.
You think this is natural for you or? Have you done, have you done this before? Yeah-- bath salts? Yeah.
Not gotten naked in the middle of the street.
Not naked? But you've done bath salts before though? Yes-- well, yeah.
Okay.
All right, we need to go to the hospital, get checked out, man.
More than willing.
I can't really get up.
My body's very sore.
Which way you want to roll? - I don't - Let's roll to me.
Let's sit up.
Yeah.
Stand on up there, Chris.
Come on-- oh.
Don't walk out into traffic.
Sit right there.
Okay.
Have a seat.
These guys are gonna get you taken care of, okay? They'll get you off the drug.
Okay.
Do me a favor before you go, say one thing.
One thing.
Drugs are bad.
Drugs are bad.
There you go.
Never felt so good to get arrested.
He told us he had taken bath salts.
It's the synthetic form, if there is such a thing, of methamphetamine.
And at this point, it's still legal and it produces the same euphoric high you get off of meth.
Serious medical problems can result from it, even on a one-time use.
Legislation has made it through State, and it'll go into effect where possession and use of it will be considered outlawed.
It's a pretty spooky thing.
I've got him at gunpoint.
At gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
