It's like I don't have a I don't have a dish. >> You got your work phone right there? >> Yeah, >> I think we should go ahead and call animal control. >> I kind of think so, too.

Thank you, Bill. Well, we definitely can take the TV. >> How long have you seen the the truck out here? >> I've been out here probably about 30 minutes. >> Yeah. >> That lady behind you in the white shirt, she says she saw some girls walking these dogs earlier. >> A while back, four, three, four hours ago. >> I bet you there was a bar somewhere drinking. What else would they be doing? >> Were they white? Yeah, the lady in the white. She saw >> drinking a lot of water. >> Okay, let me get the other skin and bones. >> Oh my god. God, if I could, I'd take him. >> Sir, we can't give these dogs back to these people, right? >> Yeah, that we've already got animal control coming to deal with all that. So, Come on. >> Look at you. Come on, Loki. Put them in. >> Yeah. Get him in the air conditioning a little bit. >> Uh they said they seen two girl, white girls and a white guy >> walking them about maybe less than an hour ago. But they they've been unattended for at least 40 45 minutes. >> Yeah. >> Well, if you want to hang out, I'll at least start a narrative on it. >> We can do the animal. >> Charge all three of them. >> Anybody that left that dog in the car. >> All three of them. >> Yeah. No food, no water, no shade. I wish we could do something with those the puppies in that crate, but >> think just letting the tailgate down at least get some air around that crate. >> Now there's no bottom in that crate. >> No bottom. >> Yeah. So here it is right there. >> So if we turn it this way It's >> not my first day, guys. >> I got a big cage like this. >> Is it chained in? >> Is it? >> No. >> Thought it was something better than what it was. Hey babies. Do I know? >> Yeah, there is. Is this What is this? Your truck? >> Yeah. What is uh Step over here and talk to me real quick like >> um your truck? >> Yes. Do you have your ID on you? >> Well, that's my boyfriend's truck. >> Okay. >> Okay. We'll need his and hers, too. >> Yeah, >> we'll talk to everybody all at once. Let me get my Miranda card. [Applause] >> So, >> yeah, we're cops right now because we left the dogs in the truck bed for half an hour. >> Am I losing my dogs? >> Run to the bathroom so that J once he gets off the phone, then we'll >> So that way I don't have to go down to the dog beach with the dogs. Now we come back at exactly half an hour and there are officers here. Storm and Thor are sitting on the bed of the truck. They won't grab Logan and I will not deal with right now. So >> I'm going to have you on the phone because you are my parental figure and even though I am >> How old are you? >> I'm 21, but I don't care. She's going to be on the phone cuz she's my mother. So >> that's fine. You're more than welcome to keep your mother on the phone if you feel like that's something you got to do. >> All right, guys. So I got something I got to read to all three of you. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and to have him or her with you while you're being questioned. You cannot afford to hire a lawyer. One will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or to make any statements. >> Do you understand these rights if I've read them to you? Yes, sir. >> Do you understand these rights if I've read them to you? >> Yes, I do. >> Do you understand these rights? You're not. You're >> not being arrested. >> He didn't say we were being rights which spread right before you arrested. >> No, it's not. No, it's not. So, you're a cop. >> No, I've just had cops read that to me multiple times in a row in the past. >> Listen, do you want to Okay, >> you guys be quiet. I will be polite with you guys. Just let me speak and I would more than happy. >> So, here I asked you a yes or no question. Right. Okay. >> The reason why I assume that with with those rights in mind, would you want to answer questions for me? >> Yes, sir. >> With those rights in mind, would you want to answer questions with me? And if I have questions for you, would you want to answer questions that I might have? >> Mom, you're not >> okay. You're on speaker and you will stay on speaker the entire time. >> Okay. So, this is this is real easy. So, where where's the dog's water bowls at? >> Water bowls are in the truck. We filled them up and gave them water before we left. >> So, can you show me the water bowls? >> Yes. >> Okay, let's do that. >> Hold on, Mom. I'm in the middle of dealing with something. Can you grab Jade, please? She's the blonde one cuz she's the one who gave them the water. So, she would know where she put it. She gave them the water. Please and thank you. >> Does she live with you? >> Yes, she does. >> Okay. So, what about for inside the truck? >> I think she had it back here because it was a purple watered bowl and a purple or it was a pink bowl with food and water for both. >> She used it. She knows where it's at. >> Can you grab her? >> Uh, I'm I'm trying to talk to you right now. Okay. >> We fed them and watered them when we got here. >> Okay. >> We walked them down to the beach. let them walk around, get a little tired so that way they wouldn't be as rowdy whenever we, you know, left them for 30 minutes so she could go change into her bathing suit. >> Okay. >> We brought them back. We fed them, watered them. >> Uhhuh. >> Then we put them up. I rolled down the windows for Loki as well as we gave him food and water so that he would have, you know, fresh air. He's not suffocating. >> Right. >> We walked down. By the time we got back, you guys were here. >> Okay. And the reason it took so long is because the restroom that's up there right by Hot Topic and Claire's in that little mini mall, the females was closed. So I had to stand and prevent another male from going in so that she could >> Why didn't you go to the bathrooms right here? >> Cuz I have never been down here before. >> What I'm saying? >> So you just like took off walking to >> No, >> try to find a bathroom. >> She knew where the bathrooms were. Carly knew where the bathrooms were cuz she's been down here before. She was taking us to the bathroom so that she could change into a bathing suit. >> Uhhuh. Then we were going to come back, grab the dogs, go to the beach. >> That was the plan. >> So, but you told me that you took them down to the beach to start with. >> Yes. We walked them so that we weren't as rowdy whenever we put them up because they do get anxious around people that they don't know. They want attention. They want love. They want everyone to pet them. They're very friendly. They're both got both their shots. They're both taken care of. Same goes for Loki. He's got all his shots. He heals on command. >> They They don't disobey. They've never bit, never attacked. It's just we had to go find a place to change. And this is the first time that I've been in this general area of Panama City >> Beach. >> Yeah. >> Panama City Beach. >> Thank you. Panama City Beach. >> And you know, >> so so I'll ask you a question then. These are your dogs, you said? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, do you think that the the condition the dog was kept in all three of them with the two in the crate back here with the tailgate up and the one in the truck, do you think that's an appropriate condition to leave the dog in? Not for an extensive period of time, but >> Okay. So, what would you what would you consider an extensive period of time? >> To be an hour or over. >> Okay. But 30 minutes is okay. >> Just running in there and back. >> Yeah. That that that I assume is okay. Okay. >> As long as we come back. >> Do I know, ma'am? >> The dogs are not mistreated, she said. >> Okay. >> He's he's my service animal. That's why it's like he's more for my autism and everything. That's why he's freaking out because he doesn't have >> and that's why they're freaking out. They're like, "Where's where' mom go?" What? The >> the one that was in her dog. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> So that's your your service animal. >> That's my service animal. Yes. That's >> So then why wouldn't you take your service animal with you? >> Cuz we let we just left for a few minutes. I told them that it wasn't smart to leave because I started almost having a panic attack. >> Carly said it would be okay. So >> notify me. And I told them I was like, "Hey, we should have taken them cuz I knew this would happen." >> Where's this water bowl that he says that >> you're the one who used it? So, you're the one who knows where you put it. >> Pink bowl. Unless you put it in the truck. >> Yeah, cuz they're angry. There >> just got buried when we moved the kennel back in. You hear me? >> Talk to my officer real quick. Y'all hang on. Water's wet. See it? >> Oh, that's the food bowl. She even said that's the food bowl from the food. The food's that like old Roy Walmart stuff that's kind of greasy. So, I bet it's more slick than like slick with grease than it is. >> Their story is kind of collaborating. >> Yeah, but it's still That's why I was trying. and they still haven't produced a water bowl, you know, like I that's he agreed that it's not the the most >> appropriate condition to leave a dog in. >> Think that warrants to take the dogs away. >> Especially once it's a service animal if it's a service animal, >> right? And so then that's the other side of the argument, too. It's a service animal that you so desperately need and you were gone for How long without your call? I'm letting you do what you want to do. >> Oh, >> I mean it's 70 something degrees. >> Mhm. >> There's wind. It was hot in there. >> Distressed paint >> enough that we had to get in the truck to get that other one. >> That's another one I was talking about going in the truck. >> Well, those other two, there was no air to go around it either. So, just cuz it was in the crate in the back. >> It's not like it was open around it. >> You're the dog, man. I'm gonna let you make that decision. Let me look at something real quick. >> What do you >> I don't know. I'm torn on it both ways. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Cuz like why the would you come down here like that? You know what I mean? What decision making goes through your head? Yeah. Let's take all three of these dogs. >> Let's go to the beach. drove the dogs an hour and a half in the bed of the truck from Defunia Springs to here. >> It's like any calling any hunter, dude. >> I know. >> Cuz to me, if we cut them loose with the dogs, then we're saying it's okay that they have the dogs. So, if it's okay that they have the dogs, why charge them? But if we charge them, I don't think they need to get the dogs. >> And if it finds out it is her service dog, we take the service dog away. >> There is nothing that there's there's nothing about that. She doesn't even have her own ID, much less which I think she's lying about that [ __ ] >> right? >> But she has nothing at all to back up. It's a service dog. And then on top of that, I'm pretty sure it is a felony to uh uh neglect a service dog. If it is a real service dog, >> he already said he's going to sue us if he if you take the dogs. >> He can sue. We get sued every day. >> Yeah. >> Recording. Stand over here. >> Come here. Stand over there before I put you in. >> You're done. Come here. Come here. >> Are you serious? I was walking back to the truck. >> I was walking back to the truck. You just >> This is on you. >> So, right now, you are being >> You are being detained right now. You are being I wasn't even close to you. >> I wasn't even close to you. >> Mom, you're taking >> I've been assaulted before and him getting close bothers me. >> That's the only reason that I want you for any you have in your life here. No, he's not being taken anywhere. What are you doing? >> Over here >> for a smart remark. >> This is ridiculous. I do have a pocketk knife in my left. >> Oh, right pocket. Correction. >> That's a >> Are y'all married to brother or sister? We're engaged. >> Okay. >> Engaged. >> All right. Haven't seen that before. >> Do you have a medical marijuana card? >> I don't need one because it store. >> That was it. Yes or no? >> His mom would like to go. >> Yeah. So, here's what we're going to do. >> No. >> Right now, >> we're going to continue this conversation behind all this to get out of everybody's public eye view. You know what I mean? >> So, if you just want to go up here, >> take a right at the stop sign >> to the stop sign. Go right. and and find enough place for all three of us. Okay. But don't be driving around this wholeing parking lot >> for this. >> Okay. No. So, here's here's the way this is going to work. So, he's got to go to jail because of the uh that bait pin. >> State of Florida, those are felonies. All right. So, he's going to jail for that. He's also being charged with the animal cruelty. Yes. >> You're going to be charged with it as well, but you're going to get a notice to appear. >> Okay. Okay. Just to go to court. >> Yep. It'll be a court date. And so, with that, you're going to take 16-year-old here home. Let me get going on that paperwork and we'll get y'all going just as quick as we can. >> Get my dog back. >> So, with with stuff like this, we do have to release them to animal control for today. Once animal control gets here, you can talk to them about how you get all this stuff back. Okay? So, it's not like they're going to be like you you you shouldn't have like they're not going to be gone forever. Shouldn't. >> So, um but they'll we'll have more clear information on that when we get there. Okay, >> Jack.
