until they do find out what the suspects look like you know you're lucky that you're safe right that no one hurt that you didn't get hurt and now the deputy basically lets him know that he's lucky he

listen I I want you to explain something you go to college right you're a smart boy all right so so then you should know that if someone that if a if a law enforcement officer tells you to stop just stop and listen that's what I don't need nothing to talk I don't got nothing do did I do any CRI did I I kill someone did I just got out the house just got any use of force was like a tackle was it no so I had him I had him by his uh right arm here he was pulling away from me I just stepped in front of him and he came down okay yeah no pressure points or no no no no no yeah and then when he was on the ground he had his arms tucked so I was just holding on to his wrist the whole time okay no was it explain to them now after being detained the reason why yeah yeah yeah I told him we were we I just wanted to talk to him I said we had a robbery with a gun involved and all I wanted to do was talk to them them running and then not listening and not giving listening to my lawful orders that's what caused me to approach them and you know so so they know what's going on I explained to mom too she's understanding of the whole situation so yeah so when the the initial call dropped we were down the street as soon as I pulled up on airport near Ginder those guys were running from literally that intersection um I try to talk to them at first they're already like trying to you know like walk off and I was like whatever you know um and I try to contact our PC what really have the RP didn't answer at the time he said he can't talk right now um but I got him to talk right now basically robed that gunpoint yeah they over a jacket guys took the jacket how many how many suspects they did say two okay uh I want to review my body cam because I may have seen some other people and that jacket may have been on another person in the area Okay wa and were they with them no okay so I'm I'm because if I don't need them here I'm okay yeah all right man look so right now we're just going to review something real quick on our video footage and uh if we can if we determine that you guys aren't involved guess what you're free to go and it could have been way easier if y'all would have just stopped and listen to me do you realize that right this became so much more difficult because y'all just didn't stop and listen if you weren't doing anything wrong what's it matter if you guys knew you were doing nothing wrong what's it matter if you guys stop and talk to me talk to Y bro like okay that's fine she wants at least Elijah to be clear by EMS I told her that's fine okay yeah em

account had dozens of photos of him as well as all of his identifying information hello man I'm going help you great I that's my nephew I was just trying to see who the officer was that had him detain it was me okaya yeah what happened so we had a call of an aggravated robbery with a weapon right so there was a there was a description that uh two two black males were uh robed somebody at gunpoint okay um that was it just two black males no no no so it was two black males they were walking down West Airport okay I saw these two young men walking down West Airport as I was driving over there I turn back around um I come to find them I end up finding them over here on Old Richmond Road okay I they see me and they immediately start running so last I knew there was armed robbers and they were on the road that they were walking these young men they see me they start running I catch up to them I ask them hey stop I just want to talk to you I just want to ask you some questions they say no they keep walking at that point it's a lawful order from a law enforcement officer to stop okay I'm conducting an investigation they have to stop and talk to me and catch up to him here ask him again ask him again no so I finally catch him I I I grab Elijah and he start he tenses up he starts pulling away he start trying to fight me so right cuz he's not under arrest correct but he is he is legally detained at that point Under Suspicion right yes so what was the description you was given um it'll it'll all be in the report okay yeah it'll all be in the report and where did the uh Robbie take place over on West Airport West Airport and what uh it'll be in the report man I can't I can't Devol too much of the details cuz not cuz it's active investigation and and you're not directly involved yeah neither was he at the time we didn't know that he it was it was we were still con conducting the investigation yes man all right any other officers uh detain him or just you I was I was the main one I was help by another off he up I I I understand that I I completely understand that and I spoke to his mother and yes right now he's not involved in any of this but he wouldn't have been involved even less if they would have just listen to me that's all they have to do I asked them to stop I they weren't doing anything wrong they knew they weren't doing he has a right to say no and he don't have to answer any questions if he's not under arrest okay okay yes that's correct but if I ask him to stop under during an investigation I was conducting investigation he didn't know that you asked him to stop he said no gave him a question not a command no I told him to stop I said you need to stop and then they said no I said you are legally detained they kept walking I said you are law I've given you a lawful order they kept walking okay and the problem cause you had was what I don't have problem C I had Reasonable Suspicion okay there's a difference right cuz you didn't have problem CA so he could have left reasonable suspicion mean that he he could leave prob C me that you had a reason he matched the description just said in the third no man that's that's that's incorrect okay um but I I was legally within my right to do what I had to do okay all right all right it'll all be in the report they had the report okay they don't have the report yet when will they
