Um, like I said, I'm asking just kind of preliminary stuff off the top of my head just to uh kind of get a baseline for, you know, um, just essentially how we how we got here. Um, so what's probably going to end up happening, I'm not going to lie to you, it's this is going to take probably a little bit cuz um, you know, we still got to go through the investigation um, from that point. Hey Burns, can you stand by with her for a minute? I'm going to have Officer Burns stand by with you for a second. I want to kind of figure out what we got going on.

And the birth date was off. She said it was it was issued in 1992. Her birthday was 1996. Yeah. The names don't match on there. She's saying that it was her cousins or something. So her name is on the bond. On the bond? Yeah, the bond is Yeah. Let me grab it. I didn't think she was the Yinia or whatever. I have to look at it again. She her ID says I Oh, does it? Okay.

I don't know if Officer Giler explained it to you. Yeah. So, we're just trying to make sure that, you know, we're working a fraud. So, we're trying to make sure either prove that the fraud did occur or did not occur or at least, you know, find the problem. What though? Uh, what she was trying to cash. So, um, you get a check, huh? A check? I don't think it was a check. What do you think it was? She said it was from her great grandma or something. From her great grandma? Yeah. Okay. Her mom gave them all. Okay. Did you say where she got it from? Like specifically? No, the original plans were for me to go get a outfit cuz today is my 30th birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you. And um we were just dibbling and dabbling and I told her like it's getting late. My mom literally I can show you. My mom is like um we got to make it out to eat. I'm like I'm about to drop Lana off maybe 5. I told her I don't want to go anywhere. It's raining. My hair is done. She was like, "Pick me up." We thought we just do something like like today is literally my birthday. I I Oh, no. I got you. Well, what we're going to do is try to get through this as quickly as we can just so that way we can get you to have your birthday dinner. So, real quick, um where did you uh and uh Lana meet up at? What do you mean? Like when you guys first got together today, where was that at? Um I was downtown Orlando. We were going to go to this taco spot for taco Tuesday, but then they said that they um they didn't open it till 3:00. It was called like um talking taco. Okay. So then I was like, "Let me hit up this girl. She's pretty far. Do you want to ride with me?" She said, "Yeah." And then her car is breaks or something. So she was like, "Um, I'll ride with you." So I'm like, "Okay, let's go." So then we stopped at um another bank. Then we came here. We went to LA. I was going to go on to Ross. Before you continue, what was the other bank you stopped at? I don't know. You don't know the name or anything like that? It was It was this bank. Another CD bank. Do you know um uh what city it was in? Listen, no. Seriously, because even my mom will tell you like I don't know anything past Avalon and East colonial that way. Okay. Like everything I need is GPS and I have a shitty ass two link wireless. Okay. No, I got you. That my phone is like full of crap. When she went to that TD bank, do you know what she was going in that one for? No, I don't. No, she didn't tell you. I'm literally tired. I sat back. I pulled my feet up and I got you. How long was she in that TD bank for? Do you think approximately? No. Honestly, I don't worries. I wasn't paying paying attention. I told my mom told me that she gets up at 4:30 to pick her up so we can go get something to eat cuz my daughter wanted to pick me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. So, after after your uh the visit to the other bank, what happened after that? What you guys doing? Uh hopped on the highway and I was looking trying to find a Burlington Cole factory, but my GPS is crazy and she's been on the phone with her man the whole ride. We just been listening to music. I hate to stop you again. Do you know who her man is? No. No, you've never met her. What's your name again, miss? Your first name? Elana. What is it? Elana. Elana. Okay. Um, Elana, just to give you a little bit of background what we're going on, what we're doing. Uh, this is not the first case that we've worked this our shift in particular with these pretty much exact same checks. Um, we've made several arrests on them. Uh, our detectives have several cases with them. Um, it's an ongoing investigation and people just keep coming to the same TD Bank with these same checks and they just keep getting arrested. Okay. I've never been in trouble. I understand. Um, there's a first time for everything. Okay. So, it's time for you to be very honest about where the check came from and who gave it to you, where'd you get it, stuff like that, because you're looking at some pretty serious charges right now. Am I getting hurt? Probably. If I'm honest, am I still? Probably. But I will tell you this. Like I have to pick up my stuff at 6:30 from like Where's he in daycare at? He's at the academy in Winter Garden. Okay. Well, hear me out. I'll be willing to let you make some phone calls or do whatever you got to do, but you got to help us out because I got kids. I understand that, right? You got to get your kids. So, we need to know where the checks come from, if we can help you out at all. All right. So, where' the check come from? There you go. No problem. Do you want to take a look at I didn't I didn't make it. You did not. I didn't. Okay. Just to be clear, you know that it's not real, right? No, I did not know it was real. You didn't know that it was real? I promise you. Okay. So, who gave it to you? her outside. Yeah. What'd she tell you to do with it? She told you to dash it? Okay. Is she one of the names on there? No, I don't think so. Now, I know her real name, but you know her real name? Yeah. Is that her car? I think so. It's registered to her. Okay. How do you We'll start from that. How do you know her? I met I've known her for like a year. Oh, okay. We met through We met through a mutual nail tech. Okay. Is that what you do? You do nails or No, no, no. I'm in school. Like I'm I'm in med school. Okay. So, what was So, you've known her for about a year. You said you're a mutual nail tech. And how did you guys end up linking up today? Like, what was the purpose? Today's her birthday. Today, so today her birthday. Today is her birthday. So, she was like, "Hey, do you want to hang out?" She was like, "Um, she was like, I have this thing where you can make money." And I was like, "Is it is it like thing?" And she was like, "Yeah, like it's perfectly fine." And I just thought like, you know, yeah. Like I didn't think it was anything, you know? I have a son. I don't I'm not a bad person, you know. I don't get in trouble. Like I don't do anything wrong. Like Okay. I've never Okay. What did she tell you? So she said, "Okay, we have this thing." I don't know much of how like she got it, but I just know she gave it to me. Okay. It was her like I don't know. Okay. So, she said we had this thing where we can go make some money and she But she told me it was legit. She told you it was legit. Okay. She told me it was legit and I was getting in trouble. That's what she told me. Okay. How did she get your name on there though? I don't know. Like I don't know who she went through. I don't know if she did it herself or if she went through somebody to get it. I don't know. But I can't tell you cuz it was already done before she came to pick me up. Did you know any that was going to take take place or No. Like I cuz it was really her birthday. So like I thought we were just going to hang out. Let me ask you this. When we ask her, is she going to say the same thing? When we go and put her in handcuffs and we say, "Hey, it's literally not mine." I know. But it has your name on it. I know. I'm not It's not right. So listen to my question. When we ask her, when we take her and put her in handcuffs right now, what is she going to tell us happened? Is she going to tell us you knew it was fake or she going to tell us? She I don't think she's going to tell you she knew it was fake. She's going to have some reason why her your name is on it. She is. She used the number cuz right now she's saying she has no idea where it came from and this was all your ID. I'll be honest with you. That's what she's saying. It's not my idea, sir. I've never done anything like this. I don't I don't do understand. I'm a mom. I got you. Mom doesn't mean you can't go to jail. I'm a single mom. Okay. So, is that why is this the money for you being a single mom or is this the money for Cuz it's her birthday and y'all want to go party? No. Like I mean like Yeah, I'm going through a rough time, but like I didn't know it was fake. Honestly, I did not know. So, her name ain't on it. Yours is. I know that, but she was the one that had somebody do it. Like, do you have any evidence of that? Like a picture or something? Text messages? Anything? Cuz right I found like where she asked for my info basically. Yeah. Yeah. Show us cuz right now her name ain't on it and yours is. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They dur match. But is this the old one? No, this is a real one that somebody like that's actual real one. That's the fake. You can see it different. And it looks like That's a mail barcode. You see like she she sent me this like when did she send you that? Probably yesterday she sent me that. What is that? What is that asking for? That's social security number named Der. Is that so she was telling you what? That that was your stuff or No, like this is an example of like ones that she did. I got you. Do you have any other messages that go along with that? I'm good. Can you go let him in the bank? He said he's locked out. Hold on one second. I can go Yeah. like cuz I was supposed to tell you want to take [Music] off like I have pictures of one cuz she did like like look look like this is what I got unless they request us. She sent it to me. This is like her. Like she sent it to me. Okay. I didn't do it. Well, so you knew that that bond. But I didn't know it was fake. She told me that it was like a legit thing. I didn't know. She'd never said it's fake. I would have never known. So you didn't know. So let you understand that money just doesn't grow on trees, right? No, I understand that. I would. So you thought that $1,000 was just going to miraculously appear in your name and that it was legit? She didn't explain it to me. You didn't listen to what you're telling me. You know what I'm saying? Take a step back. Take your need for this $1,000 out of it, right? Cuz times are tough. Times are tough for all of us, right? And you have this need for $1,000, right? Take that out of it and use a little bit of common sense and just think about the whole situation for a second. This person that you've known for a year tells you, "I'm going to create a check with your name on it that was not intended for you, and you're going to go into a bank and cash it." And that's completely legit. I mean, it sounds crazy, but it wasn't me. Sounds crazy or is crazy. No, it's crazy. It wasn't me, though. Like, I It looks like it's both of you. I didn't make it. You uttered it. You came in here and tried to cash it, which means you're guilty, too. I get that. That's a crime. That's a felony. I can understand that. Okay. That's what we're looking at here. And that's a felony. I'm trying to be honest with you. I appreciate that. Wasn't the one that that initiated it. You didn't make it. Yes. Okay. I was under the impression that it was a legit thing. Like Okay. So, how So, you tried this at several other banks today? Well, she brought me to like like two or three. Two or three. And it didn't work those times. No, they gave me um like a slip. Um they said that they were able to verify it, but like it was like the like that was the thing that was throwing me off cuz like they were able to verify it but it was like they couldn't um cash it. Like they were telling me to send it to the treasury. Do you have those slips that they gave you? It should be in the card. Okay. Um And you didn't think I'm literally I'm in med school. Like I'm just trying to take care of my spend. I work like I work full time. I'm a single mom. I got you. Is that what the $1,000 was for? Was like helping you with bills or I mean Yeah. Like my baby father lost his job. So I just thought like I didn't think it was like a big thing. Like I didn't think it was like a Okay. Well, we're as of right now, you're still not afraid to leave. I'm going to go ask her the same questions and see what she comes up with. Okay. So, last chance before I go out there and talk to her. What's she going to tell me? I'm telling you the truth. Okay. I don't know what she's going to say to you. She's probably going to sit there and say that she didn't do it or she didn't know about it. Gotcha. I just showed you everything I have. Let me see. So, those messages came from her. What's her name? One more time. All right. So, um, my sergeant and I want to ask you some, uh, some followup questions. Before we do that, though, I'm not in trouble right second. I mean, at all for as far as I'm aware. But we need you to step out of the car just so we can talk to you cuz moving vehicles and active vehicles are car. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Let's go over here in the uh cover thing. We won't mess up your hair cuz I know you just got it done. All right. You guys go in or Nope. We're just getting out of the range so we can talk to her real quick. We appreciate it. We will eventually, but they can let us. Okay. Thank you. You have a card? You got your card? How do you do? Oh, her. Okay. Um, she she read your rights. Um, you understand your rights. You will want to talk to us and everything like that. You're not under arrest. We got to ask some questions. Okay. Um, I only talked to her. I didn't talk to you. But supposedly there's some inconsistencies about where you guys met, how long you guys been together, hanging out today. She's saying that you guys um met like a year ago. Is that about right? I mean, I've known her. We just have We haven't talked. Listen, [Music] [Music] listen. Correct. Uh, you are detained right now. You are not free to leave. And there's some implicating things where you could very well be going to jail. Okay. But we'd like to ask you some clarifying questions. There are some implicating things that we have now seen. Some text messages and images that we have now seen that we'd like to talk to you about if you'd be going to speak to us. Okay. Am I going to jail? Potentially. He said I'm potentially going to jail. So that's the question is we would like to talk to you about these pictures and videos that we've seen or text messages sorry pictures and text messages that we have seen and that's that's just it. Would you want to talk to us about it or not? Am I going to jail? I have already answered that question like three times. Okay. What's going to happen for me not to go to jail on my birthday? Well, we have to prove that you're not involved in a crime. That's what we're trying to talk to you about. I'm not involved in a crime. Well, I've seen some things in the last 5 minutes that would make me believe that you may be. I'd like to talk to you about those things. Okay. Okay. What text messages? Okay. So, obviously you understand that we are here. We got called here because there was a report of a possible crime. Okay. What was the crime? The crime is a fraud. Okay. Uttering a force document. Check. A check. Yes. Big check. Okay. Or other monetary items. Okay. So, we come here. They give us some information that there's been a series of events today where people have tried to cash this fraudulent check and it's been unsuccessful and that she's inside as the one that's been trying to utter this force document that's been trying to cash this fake check. So, she's the focal point of the investigation. At that point, you're just the rat. Okay? Up until the point where she tells us that you gave her the check and she shows us text messages and images from an email, from a phone number. uh where these checks were being provided to her where there was some personal information being exchanged to put on these checks so that they could be cashed something along the lines of it's legit blah blah blah. So from me or from her boyfriend? She is saying that they came from you. Her boyfriend. Okay. Why would she tell us it was you? Maybe because she's lost her boyfriend, right? So, what about the messages that I saw between her and Gmail? Do I have a Gmail? You don't have a a Gmail luhab. Is that gmail.com? We do a search warrant to Google. It's not going to say that it's on my email. She's been on the phone literally all day with her boyfriend. I got you. So, if you look at her call log, she's been on the phone all day with her boyfriend. I got you. I'm just telling I'm just wanted to ask you because that's what she's telling us. She's telling us that she didn't know they were fake. That she cashed them because you told her to. So, what about her grandma giving them? I'm trying to figure that out myself because apparently that's all a lie. No, I just think she's trying to cover up for her boyfriend. I mean she she is providing incriminating information about herself, right? And implicating you by saying you did not give her these checks. You don't know anything about these checks? Her her I know her boyfriend does that type of stuff, but she told me that that was from her grandma that she was going to come with me for my birthday. I got Okay. Um, would there be any reason why there be any messages or anything between two of you on her phone? Um, how do you guys I don't know how you guys communicate. How do you guys communicate? Instagram, Facebook, text, Instagram. Instagram. So, when we do a search if we do a search war to Instagram that has anything in there about these checks, any providing any information about these checks, anything like that? I think her boyfriend and I've never met him. Like I've seen him on FaceTime, but she has earphones in. So that's how she was communicating with him all day. Sorry. What was that email again that she gave me? Uh, hello baby. Luhab gicloud.com or I'm sorry, Gmail or no, it was an iCloud. I'm sorry, iCloud. Not Gmail. So, we sent a search warning to Apple for all the records from that email. My iCloud is my LLC and that's Yummylicious LLC at icicloud.com. Okay. Yes, I got you. So, would there be any messages between you, her, and Yummy? No, but I know her boyfriend, and I can't remember what his name is, but she just told me that her son be calling him on the phone. Um, I can't even remember his name. I can't remember his name, but I know her boyfriend. And if you guys can find out her boyfriend's name, the last thing she told me about her boyfriend was that he's hot because the police raided his crib and took ID printers and stuff. But I didn't care to know about that because I don't know. Understood. And you don't have any knowledge about any of that going on? IDs being stolen? Anything? No. Yes. All right. Um, still not free to leave. We're still investigating. I'm still not free to leave. Okay. Okay. Is her email. Do you have emails or text messages from that email providing you images of the checks or anything? They just show you the one the one. But did that come from that email? Yeah. I need proof that that came from that email. Like a It's right here. No, not that one. The Yummylicious. Cuz she's denying the little baby. I don't. She says like she sent me these. I don't know if this will help. Like she sent me these. No. Let me see. [Music] Let me see the other messages. Any of them have any pictures of the checks or anything? Um, in this one, I don't know. No, I didn't. No, just just only this one. This one. Is there other one that she uses a little bit? Yeah. Does she say anything else? I have I have when I sent her my location this morning, I told her. Do you mind if I look through these? You don't follow him on social media? You've never met him before? Nothing like that. Do you know anybody that besides her that's associated with Gucci? Anywhere that could lead us down a breadcrumb trail to who is Gucci? Gucci's calling you. Okay. What What's Is is it from a phone number or how's he calling you? Through Telegram. Through Telegram. Okay, I got you. Um, it says so Gucci. So Gucci. Gotcha. Okay. You want to answer? See what he says? I'm scared. Did she get to him first? I don't know. That's going to be two against one, but I know that he is her provider and she's probably not going to want I'm know I'm a friend. You feel me? Like when it comes to women, like even with my best friends, if I tell them don't date a guy, they're still going to date a guy. Mhm. cuz who cares what I say? So, this is where this is where it's coming out from. So, now if he goes in there and says something about Gucci, she's going to try to flip it back on me. So, I just don't want to go to jail. No, I got you. And listen, I don't want anyone to go to jail. I I understand. I don't want anyone to go to jail that doesn't need to go to jail. Okay? Especially someone on their birthday. All right? So, like I said, and like my sergeant was saying, because of the implications that she is now thrown into your court, that's why we're we're coming out here and talking to you the way we're talking to you. I understand. Um, it's when I first initially talked to you, I was under the impression that you were just going to be the the wheelman essentially, for lack of a better term, right? Not not in the wheelman in sense of, you know, getaway driver or anything like I thought you were just a friend hanging out with a friend, right? That's how I initially she she genuinely asked me if I could help her do something. And I'm like, "Okay, yeah, we can go." Uhhuh. But I still have to do what I have to do for myself because it's my birthday. It's not her birthday. It's my birthday. I have a car. Your car is sitting in front of your house because your brakes are something like that. I'm a good I'm a cancer. Let me just say that. I'm a cancer. So, I'm a good person, but I do not want to go to jail. I cannot go back to jail. I just got out of jail for a violation of probation. I haveund probably 40 something days left. I want this life to be behind me. Mhm. I just got approved for a new apartment. Like, I'm really trying to change my life around, right? I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't even go clubbing, nothing. Like, today was supposed to be a family fil day. My Fashion Nova order didn't come. So, I didn't have an outfit. I wanted to look nice. I got my hair done yesterday and now I'm sitting here in the rain. 6:00 in the afternoon. My daughter keeps calling me. She made a cake last night. Mhm. It's like I I I understand what you're saying. and and and I know this is your job and I know my man he takes law so that's why he's trying to educate me but I cannot so little sorry and I'm so big but I cannot I seriously cannot go to jail I understand and and like I like even if a crime is committed I'm not the the blame I'm not the fault for it like okay her boyfriend I know initi appreciated all of this. Okay. And that's why I'm trying to see if there's any But then that turns to me being a snitch and they know where I live. Like it's just too much. Mhm. How do they know where you live? I know I' I've known Lana. We just haven't like I went to jail and we haven't talked. Probably like two weeks a Excuse me. Like two weeks ago, she wrote me and was like, "Hey, I miss you. Your birthday's coming up." is her mom's birthday, I think, is the 14th or something. So, she was like, "Oh, yeah. Um, you want to do the water parks with the kids?" I'm like, "Yeah, cool. We could do all of that." So, today she was like, "What am I doing all of this?" And we're here. Mhm. I got you. Um, and at any point in time, did she explain to you what the errands that she needed to run were? No, nothing. But I know she's been on the phone with the Gucci boy. Like even my shoes were just in the passenger seat because I got tired from driving and I let her drive my car. In one of those videos, it showed a tattoo. Um it might have been the one with her thigh. Yeah, she has a thigh tattoo. Is she wearing shorts? Yeah, she is. She just got a thigh tattoo recently. Houston on five. Okay. And I'm sorry, I don't remember which one did the check come from. It's there. This one. Okay. I was Okay. That's right. That's right. That's right. Someone alleges a crime happened, right? We have to talk to everybody because everybody has equal rights, right? Um, you know, the bank and the people who work here have their rights. You have your rights. His name is Lamar because my boyfriend's name middle name is the same as his. It's Lamar. It's Lamar. Okay. And that's And that's his middle name. No, that's his first name. His first name. cuz I just I just I just literally had asked him because once she got off the phone with him, she was talking about some a baby or something and I was like another boy. She was like he has a girl. I was like what does Jaden her son is Jaden? I'm like what does Jaden call him? And she said Gucci. And then I was like well what's what do you call him? She's like bae or Lamar. So I know this has everything to do with him. I'm not saying I'm innocent. Mhm. But he is her manipulator because he's her provider if that makes sense and she's a sweet girl. She's innocent girl. Yeah. No, I got you. But look, I do have one question. If I am going to deal, can we wait until my people come? Uh, that is We can't facilitate that. It It just depends on how long we're here for. If they show up when we're here, then they show up. If not, then it is what it is. But am I going to jail? And what would be the charge? I don't know. I don't know at this point cuz I can't go to jail. I I understand you. Can I help you guys? That's That's what we're trying to do, right? So, seriously. Seriously, I don't understand. No, I No one No one wants to go to jail and especially not on their birthday. So disappointed. I I I can understand that. And I I'm not going to sit here and make you any promises or guarantees cuz that's not my place and that would be unethical of me, okay? cuz I I'm not in this business to make solid promises because with how rapidly things can change it I I would people would paint me as a liar. Okay. Um especially if I think one thing and then and then another thing happens cuz information that I don't know about right at this point like I was trying to explain earlier is it's not that we are just solely gunning for you. Right? We initially when we when we talked to you we were under the impression that you were just a friend driving a friend, right? Okay. And that could still be the case. We got this new information. Now we have to we have to vet. So nothing. My phone is going to die. Nothing. They're just trying to figure out information. So, he's taking me to jail. Huh? He's taking me to jail. What makes you think that? Cuz he keeps smiling. Who? Officer Kelly. Yes. He was smiling cuz he saw cuz I was watching walk out of that little bowl and he laughed and he said I was eating ice cream before this because I was looking at him funny cuz I didn't know why he had a bowl with a pink spoon. Am I going to jail? Probably. Just saw some messages from your Yummylicious LLC. iCloud. Yes. Talking about these checks. Okay. Can we Can we tell Giving her instructions on how to cash them? Okay. Can we tell where the instructions came from? Did she tell you that? What do you mean from her boyfriend Gucci? That if you look up his name, Lamar something. His house has got raided for ID printers and stuff. Right. So, so I understand what you're saying, but that's still you. Did she change the name of what? For the email? No. We verified it that those messages came from that email. Okay. Of you giving her specific instructions on how to cash these checks. Okay. Okay. So, she didn't mention her boyfriend at all. She said he has nothing to do with this. I can I prove it? I don't know. We're still working on it. He just he just called me and I just showed him that he just called me. Her boyfriend? Yes. He just called me on. She's been on the phone with him all Do you have any messages between y'all two that we would let us see? I don't have any. I don't have any messages. Okay.

She told me neither check came from you. No, it didn't. It came from That's neither here nor there. She said she said it came from her her She told me it came from her grandma. Okay. Then she said that Gucci her man does all of this. He has ID printers that I'll get some money if I drive her. Then I'm telling her like I got to go do stuff for myself because it's my birthday. I got you. So, how about the text messages where she was asking you about it and you sent a bunch of pictures of money uh on your lap and a car that had been paid off, something about a lawyer being paid up about those messages. I didn't speak to her about that, but on verbally on but there were some messages. I read it. I read them. I read them myself. Okay. pictures of money, pictures of cash, checks being cashed at the bank, stuff like that. You know anything about that? I mean, I have my own LLC. I make money. My man works for Ro. That's how I get my money, but my car is not paid at all. So, what about those messages that were directly followed up with instructions on how to check cash these fraudulent checks? Was it was it from her boyfriend? That's what I'm asking. It came from your email, the Yummylicious LLC email. I just looked at it or it was I'm sorry. It was the little baby@icloud.com. She refers to her boyfriend as a yama. A yama. Okay. He's a yama. Do you have is little baby l uh hbab@icloud.com you? That's not my So why did the pictures have your leg tattoo in the background?

She called my phone. Her boyfriend and her have been in the chat on Telegram and just now when I look on Telegram, you can erase all the messages. He erased the message and I saw Officer Johnson. He was calling my phone. Okay. What does that have to do with the pictures of all the money? wants to leave. She's now smashing. I'm asking you things and you're just like there's no more. Okay. Because I know that this initiated from the boyfriend. Okay. Are you a part of I don't care what are you a part of? Did you know that this was taking place? That's what I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Did you know about these checks? She said it was a test or a bond, whatever you call when she had that at the last bank. Yes. Okay. Prior to that, did you know? No. I do not believe you. I saw text messages and I do I think you are lying. And then a suspicious person most likely. What is it going on? Tell us the truth. And I'm talking about the truth that we can prove. Not your truth that whatever the truth. I don't know. It depends. I don't You're not giving me anything as far as your knowledge on this. I don't know what your knowledge on this is. That's what I'm trying to piece together. We both spoke to her boyfriend Gucci. Okay. maybe two or three days ago. Okay. And he said, "Do I have a car?" And I was like, "Yeah." Okay. Because her car is broke down. Broke down. Cool. Okay. And he said that I can make some money. He said, "You can make some money." Or you both. You saw me. Okay. He said you can make some money. His name is Gucci. I just remembered his first name is Lamar because on the way here, I asked her what does her son call him? She said he calls him um Coochie. Then I was like, "What do you call him? What's his real name?" And she said, "Lamar." I was like, "Oh yeah, that's my man's middle name." Okay. So, what when he said you can make some money, how did he say you're going to make this money? Um they were on FaceTime. I was on FaceTime. I was making making dinner and he was like, "Am I going to be free yesterday?" And I was like, "No, I have to get my hair done." Okay. Then he asked me, "What about today?" So she asked me, "Can I bring her around cuz she didn't have a car, right? And I'm like, "Yeah, I have to." That's what she asked you if she could bring you around or you can bring her around. Yeah. Okay. And then what happened? Because she has a appointment tomorrow for some something for her face. Okay. So then I could do it today. Okay. And I say, "Yeah." All right. And then what else? That's it. It's not what the text message is saying. You're still not telling me the truth. And I'm don't want to stand here in the rain and get liked. So you just patrol. No. So tell me the truth. I'm tired of getting rained on. I know you're tired of getting rained on. Tell me the truth. I was supposed to make money with my boyfriend. You said no. He said to me in my trunk, please. He said something about to go to her house. What's her grandma's name? the 13th. We were all in a group chat. Copy. There's messages at her specifically asking you what your percentage cut and he's not in the group chat. So the the message explain how there's text messages of her specifically asking you what is your percentage. But is there no messages between the boyfriend too because we were all chatting together? No, they just came from your email. So let So let me let me answer my question though. Why would there be a message from her asking you specifically what is your percentage? I don't know. Well, you answered it. You're like, we split it evenly. No, this is that's not messages. I'm telling you that there were everybody there messages from here. Listen, officer, we confirmed it. Okay, but we were all in a group chat, okay? But he didn't say anything about fraud. He said that they were given from somebody's grandma. Okay. didn't say anything about fraud until earlier she kept saying he's a yama. What's that? A yama? That's They're from like North Miami Beach or B or something gang or something. No, I don't. I'm sorry. I don't know. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't I don't know. I I'm a redneck. I don't speak that lang. You know what I'm saying? Don't say that. So, I do not want to go to the jail. I understand that. I don't know the boyfriend's last name, but I'm pretty sure if you can look his name up or something, she said he just got out of jail like two weeks ago and the police raided his house and took Louis Vuitton sneakers and ID from Miami. I don't know. Okay. I was just She said it was on the move. Can I Google it? Yeah. Okay. Did you or did you not know about these checks? From the last spot that we went to, I knew about it. She She look, she said her baby daddy was on the account. Initially, she needed to go because she can't even get direct deposit into that account because her and her baby daddy share that account. So, it's I don't know his name. I think it's like RJ or something, but I don't know the real name. that is his her is his her account and she's on the account as well and she has a debit card for the account um that she needed to go in personally because they said she can't verify it on the phone because she's not an account holder. She's only a secondary person on the account holder. I don't want to go to jail. I understand that. Nobody wants to go to jail. I don't want to go to jail. Do you have the messages on your actual phone? On We were talking on Telegram. On Telegram, you can delete messages. He deleted the messages when I opened it. That's when he started calling me just now when I showed you. So, it deletes from both ends. Yeah, he knows. He know I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. She said he's like 32 and he hit like $100,000 in PP um forgiveness loans. This is what she told me. But I I didn't really care. My day was to be focused around my daughter. So I don't want to go to jail. I hear you. Is there anything else I can tell you guys that's not going to make me go to jail? That I don't know. Again, I So, a majority of the time now, I've been out here with you. So, any of this new information that they're getting and everything like that is is nothing that I learned the same time you learned. Okay? So, with what they have versus what you're saying, I'm not sure. Like I told you earlier, I'm not I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to make you got to go to get out, right? Because of the text messages, which is cool. But there was a third person in the text messages. Mhm. And I don't think that's fair to me because I was just trying to be a driver. I got you.

She's like, she didn't admit to making the check, but she admitted to getting her personal information to put it on to provide to somebody else to put it on to put it on the check and to drive her around to try to pass me. Leave it. It'll all be part of the What's up? Can you do me a favor? What you need? Is there I Are you the um corporal? Sergeant. Sergeant. Okay. Sergeant, is there anything so I can pose bond for you to do for me? No, you're on probation. I already told you that. You are on probation. No matter how many times you ask, you're on probation. There's not. I'm sorry. You could give me the juiciest piece of information right now. You're on probation. I don't have the discretion to release you. You are committing a felony while on probation. I do not have the discretion to release you. I just don't. If you weren't on probation, maybe we could talk. So, can you not tow my car because my mom needed It is part of this investigation, though. There may be evidence in there of this these frauds that we're now working that is part of a larger scheme of frauds that we've been working for several months now. So, listen, if I give you guys information on where they originated from, can I not go to jail and you guys could do your drug I mean your fraud bust? You are going to jail. Clinton said, "No matter how many times you ask, you're going to jail." Okay. While any information would be appreciated, I understand the position you're in. And I cannot make you any promises that you will not be charged or not go to jail. I can promise you this right now. You're going to jail cuz you're on probation. Okay. Is there Okay. So, you said there's a criminal investigation going on for this. There is a it's a part of a larger investigation. There is a whole bunch of fraudulent checks that have come to this bank here recently and they all look a lot like the ones that she had. Okay. Hey, Mr. Johnson. Officer Johnson. He said that there is a investigation going on with this. Correct. Right. Okay. So, there's an investigation going on. If I can tell you Well, he said I'm already going to jail. Mhm. And that's understandable. If I can help you guys, is there any leniency for me for that? That'll be up to the state attorney. Yeah, that's our choice. If the the state attorney can most definitely uh uh cut something with you if you if you provide more information to the the the higher rank, you know. So, um I'm not saying you'll get all scot-free, but it might be a lot more lenient than what you would get if you just stood your ground and stand and and try to stand on your own. You follow what I mean? Okay. So, as far as So, she's not going to jail. She is. She is. You both are. Yep. Okay. Did she ever mention her boyfriend to you? No. I can't make her. She gave us the information about you. You gave us the information about her. She admitted to her wrongdoing. You admitted to your wrongdoing. You guys are both going to jail. That does not mean that her boyfriend will not at a later date based on the information we have. And this investigation is going to continue. As of today, the only people we have problem cause the charge is you and her. We are going to continue the investigation. A detective will be continuing the investigation. We're patrol. We're not investigations. A detective will be continuing the investigation and working with other detectives from other jurisdictions who are already working these frauds. But as of right now, the only two people being charged are you and her for right now. For right this very moment. Okay. You can step out real quick. Me? Yeah. She's going to search you real quick. Do you have anything on you? Knives, guns, nuclear weapons. Just give me turn around for me. Anything that's going to poke, prick, or stab my officer. Can I just ask you guys one question? Absolutely. Like if somebody knows all of my information, I got to protect my family because I got the news, you know? Yeah. No, I I completely understand. And like I said, like me saying stuff and then going back in there saying it to her is like she's gonna have a bigger comeback, you know? So I didn't I didn't want it to be a back and forth thing. You understand? Yeah. No, I I protect my safety. Not I don't care about like I already told you I cooperate. I don't care. Yeah. The thing is my safety. Mhm. That's all I care about. Yeah. Absolutely. No. Absolutely. Um, so especially with that being said, with this this essentially deal you're trying to make, I'm not going to lie, even though she whatever said what she said about me and show whatever, she's not a bad she's a good girl. She Yeah, she seems like a very good person and you seem like a good person, too. It's just making bad decisions. the the manipulative men and when you're trying to provide for your family and money is involved then people just you know so it's not like she's a a bad person I'm a bad person it's manipul manipulation yeah I understand and how they say money [ __ ] off so that's just oh yeah but what I would recommend is the even thought of making a deal with us and everything like that that's a thought that I would highly recommend you keep to yourself. I'm sure you're already on that thought process, but I wouldn't talk to her about it. I want to talk to your brother about it, your husband about it. Just keep it the less This is This is This is not my first rodeo. I got you. I'm just I want to say it to say it. You know what I mean? So, um scared the [ __ ] out of me. Um so, um I have paperwork I got to go do for different matters and stuff. Officer Kelly is doing it, right? Yep. Officer Kelly, he's talking to uh um your Yeah. your to Lana and then um I think Officer Gilbert here is going to bring you into the uh holding cells and it's a lot cooler in there and you have a jacket so it should be a lot better than being back here in the hot humid air. Okay. So what's the like Okay, I know I'm asking a lot of questions but it's not my county. I don't know anything. I know I'm not leaving to go home today or maybe tomorrow. Okay. But as far as Okay. And I'm probably going to be annoying with this question cuz I probably asked it already. That's okay. Okay. So, my bond is going to be 25,000. 2500. 2500 should be 2500. So, that's 250. Should be. Yep. I'm I'm not good with math. I became a cop, so I didn't have to do math. So, all right. And then I see the judge around 1:30, whatever. 1 1:30 is probably a later time. I think they also do it somewhere between 7 to 9. I think they do like morning sessions. Um, afternoon and afternoon sessions. Um, but don't hold me to that. The jail staff will be able to answer that question for you whenever you get there. All right. So, look, I don't have no open warrants. No. Okay. So that's going to make my time a little bit shorter. But the only thing that's stopping me from being released is my probation. Probation. Okay. So when it comes to probation, I've seen judges get bond for probation before or just reinstate me. Yeah, that that could very well happen. And it's possible that I can go back to prison. Uh I never been to prison. I never been to prison. Well, it depends on what you you What was your charge again? You you told me it was burglary with the battery, right? No, it's just burglary. But it started off as battery cuz we had a fight in 2019 at her residence and because the the door broke, it was considered burglary. Burglary. Okay. And then I have a open case in Miami. What for? This is just me asking. It's It's being dropped because there was no evidence. But um I was in a car and they found a gun under the passenger seat and because I was on probation, they arrested me, but I don't I'm not charged with possession of a firearm. It was just like what? VOP. It was a violation probation and then it was trafficking because the car had like a little bit of Molly in it in the back seat. But like my lawyer said that no evidence pertained to me and whatever. So um September 19th like all the depositions went so the case is going to be dropped but he has to wait for them to sign over on the motion to suppress or whatever. So that's going to be dropped but is that going to like harm me? That's Miami date. Um, no. I I I feel like this might be a completely separate obviously it's a separate incident, but I mean those those charges are I've only been arrested three times. Yeah. Those charges are very in my in that's kind of Yeah. So I I don't want to tell you to not worry about it. There's no way it's going to. But I also am not convinced that anything to do with this. I think your biggest obstacle is going to be the probation thing regardless like across the board, right? So, but but the the fact of the the traffic in char especially with it like in the process of being dropped and everything like that, I I don't I don't think you need to worry about that affecting this or or influencing this at all. However, you getting arrested on probation, well, even that one, if they're dropping everything, then you know, you might not need to worry about that either. Um, but again, it's just the probation in general. So, my charge is organized crime. No, no, no. So, it's I I forget what the exact phrasing is, but um it's God, if I remember what he just said on the radio, it's like uh it has it has to do with the organization of uttering a forge document. Something along those lines. So, meaning that Did she finally tell you where she got it from? I don't know. I haven't talked to her. I haven't talked to her. So, um but um that's yeah, I I I wouldn't worry about that too much. I for my own body cam or whatever, but I I I am No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I admitted my that I'm not a airhead to it and we were in a group chat, but I also did admit that I am not that of the organization. Yeah. No, absolutely. Absolutely. I'm not. I'm just a worker. Yeah. just trying to like I told you I do dash and it's a hard trying to make a buck. It's it's hard times. I I feel you on that one. I mean it's it sucks. Like I hate that you're in this position because you know it you seem like a really decent person and it's your birthday. That's also why I'm not a fan. But um regardless is you know just keep your lawyer informed. have your lawyer try to set up something with the state attorney to see if you can get an immediency or just have stuff drop completely. Okay. Um again, that's not up to us. That's up to the state attorney and what they can and want to do. Okay. Um but in order for it to work, you have to be a,000% honest with everything you know. Everything. Because if they think like my sergeant, if they think that you're lying or you're hiding something or anything like that like No. And I I get I'm just I'm just like I said earlier, I'm just saying it to say, you know what I mean? Like how I told um Officer Gilbert and Officer Kelly, when people have money, there's a lot of stuff that they can do to people that don't have money. Yeah. So it was like kill or be killed situation. I I I can I I can see where you're coming from. Absolutely. And I And I hate that you're in that position. A teacher, you know, like information to find, you know, stuff like that. So, and I absolutely hate that you're in that position. I'm sorry that you are, but um as long if you do all this, the state, especially if you give the information they need and everything like that, they they will make sure that you're okay. All right? What I I don't know how that's going to they're going to do it, but it's on them to make sure that that happens, that you and your family are okay. All right? So, um I if I didn't have anything to do, I would have I would have no fun here talking to you. But, um I got to go inside and uh actually, ironically, I got to inspect the cells here. So,
