Look, I've already talked I guess this is your boyfriend. Yes. Okay. I've already talked to him. Look, I'm not stupid. Y'all flew over to Cali. You come back with a rental that smells like weed. It's common sense. We do this all the time. It's not a big deal. Tell me how many pounds you have. Um I know. I don't know. Like Just estimate. I'm about to search it, but I just want to see if you're being honest with me. No, I know there it's in the back seat right here, but um it's mainly like literally personal use. We don't go We literally come here like maybe like once every 6 months. Okay. All right. Go hang out with him back here. But there's um the three bags. I told him they're actual legitimately dispensary bags right there in the back seat. And then my oil. Is there anything else? Any guns? Anything besides weed? No. Okay. I see my wallet. The wallet is one that I There's a there's a ID in her wallet in the back seat. Okay. Hey, Colton. Um I do I live in Jacksonville. So you're dropping [Applause] We'll do it. Well, uh, I want to run him for sure. I don't know if Matt if we're going to take this back to the troop or not. Whatever Matt says. So, Yeah, that's what we got. I think there's maybe one more bag, but just looking at that, what do you think that's four? It was hot. It doesn't remember. We're all that close. Those are the little thingies. Our I mean, this doesn't really matter. This You got weed. It's all the same. [Applause] Time sleeping. had enough cookies. So, yeah, we um we usually get this large a quantity because we both smoke like that and my family does. We all live together. So, the trooper then explains to the passenger, Morgan McCall, about what's about to happen next. We got to wait till our other unit gets here to put you in his car cuz there's a dog in this one. um you know what's going to like pretty much happen cuz yeah like I'll give you a little bit of information. So this isn't like a whole bunch nowadays but it's still a decent amount. I mean you're bringing I don't know probably 3 to 5 lbs across the country if you total all this crap too, right? Um so we'll reach out to our narcotics investigators and see if they want to talk to y'all or not. If they do, we'll bring you to our troop, which is like 2 miles from here. You just passed it. Um, we'll sit down for a couple hours and talk to detectives. If you choose to work with them, that's between you and them. What happens if, uh, if you choose not to work with them, then usually we'll just take this as evidence and we'll book you straight into jail. And then something, honestly, something like this nowadays that the bond's not going to be too bad. Weeds not a big deal anymore. When you start dealing with pounds, I mean, it's a little more of a big a big deal, but it's not, you know, just the end of the world. Right. You know how much this costs? No, but it doesn't look like it's high quality. Like we live with my family and I told him we all smoke. So just like I said you'd go to Costco and get a bunch of [ __ ] That's It saves money.

This week as of Thursday, I'll be 24 weeks. Um yeah. Only reason why I asked my mom's expecting me home today and she's been taking care of my animals while she's on vacation. I let him know I understand. I pretty much understand what y'all got to do. Yeah. And you're cuffed in the front because you are pregnant. So, thank you. That's our policy. How old are you? I am 24. I'll be five on hopefully my partner get here pretty quick. So, we have to stand out here and start training. He's only a few miles down the road, so it should be close. Y.
