shotgun there's a little 380 under him I can't find him in the system at all okay uh he's a felon we lit him up damn near at Witcher so they kind of slow rolled this whole way so makes me think that

you you're a yeah I know I'm just I'm not you're not telling me the truth I'm just hoping if there is some more truth to be had that you would tell me it okay because he's he's up to some bull crap I don't know I mean you saw what hey how old how old are you uh uh and then I asked you how old are you 41 41 you see he's he's [ __ ] up to something like he's IED to obey the law man that why I signed the pro paper for the beef you know what I mean I crowned up in you see him when he walked in there big guy was in a tight spot yeah look like it's far left it is what it is what it is man I'm just you know things are a little different we get we get what goes on at that gas station we ain't stupid you are not stupid either you're probably over there for the wrong reasons okay all I can tell you is to cut that out okay you know i' I've been doing this long enough I've stopped probably upwards of 2,000 cars okay believe I know when I with my partner says there's little baggies ALS there's a gun in there y'all up to no good okay so but that being said we can't just let we just can't cut y'all loose now until we start getting some answers and it kind of starts with him and I but I'll be honest it it it took so long for y'all to pull over there was movement in the car how do I not know that you weren't giv him that gun to put under the these are things that we have to do as police officers you see what I'm saying cuz y y'all took forever to pull over your head y'all had that first parking lot y'all had the second and the third parking lot to pull into and here we are so how how do I not know that you weren't you weren't giving them that you see see where I'm coming from I know where you come from I understand man pull me back here tell you I told you where I know you know I mean I more and see the whole the whole like no one's admitting that their gun is there is like if they would to be like hey this is my truck it's my gun right right on but no one's admitting it that that tells me something's up okay and we're and we're we're not going to cut y'all loose until we know what's going on and if we got to if if we got to haul all y'all off to jail and sort it out that way you know I don't want to do that though that's the thing you know I have no family here nobody where you from I fell out Amarillo okay Paro something me here oh really what four oh I made Paro I

this out of the way in the state of Texas it is not illegal for you to drive around in your truck and a gun that is concealed is that your gun I don't know no I don't know okay so it's not your gun sorry I I don't want to blame anybody cuz I don't know who this you don't want to blame anyone but we're in a bit of we're in a bit of a predicament here okay cuz I got I got a gun and I got a loaded meth pipe with a with with meth under Gilbert's seat okay so we're going to assume that that meth pipe is Gilbert's okay would I be incorrect if I said that that gun is Gilbert's because y'all took forever to pull over i l y'all up right there let's take a look look at this for me look at this okay I let y we l y'all up damn near at that stop sign right okay we go we go it's one thing if you're looking for a safe place to pull over you got that first access to that parking lot you pass that one you pass this driveway the second driveway right there then you pass this one and then to top it off you didn't even pull into a driveway you just stopped in the middle of the road okay hold on listen to me David okay I was telling I was telling your posy I've stopped upwards of probably 2,000 cars you know in my little tenure as a police officer okay you know this is not my first rodeo okay the fact that y'all slow rolled a little bit tells me something is up there's a lot of Def what we call deferred movements in the vehicle okay y'all were moving around that tells me something different okay what was going on in the car when we let from where we l y'all up back there to now I want to I want to know what what Gilbert said I want to know what they said were they hiding things I know you don't want to be a rat but right now you have you have illegal drugs and a weapon in your truck okay so it would behoove you if you know something cuz that could possibly get tied to you you are the owner you are in care custody control of the truck mhm so talk to me my friend I tell you exactly what what I was doing yes sir I was driving can you let me up car truck right there is just [ __ ] horrible okay so yeah got to pretty much like ride with foot on the brake and the gas so let up off the gas it's turning off and then L power steering okay let me just stop you that I don't want to hear excuses about how the the truck is jacked up and that's why it took you a quarter mile to stop I don't want to hear that I want to hear what's going on why why everyone's moving around in that truck as we're stopping y'all and things like that David if you don't tell me any if you don't tell me what they're doing if if you don't well BJ was on back so I don't know what he was doing I didn't see him moving only thing I'm I'm looking forward I'm looking at the mirror I'm not looking at
