What were you doing with the bottle up near your face when I would drove up? >> Specifically this one. I I didn't It's not in my face at all.

Just relax real quick and I'll explain what's going on. Okay. So, right now you're going to be under arrest. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. And and I'll explain why here in a minute. Okay. I'm going to have you have a seat in my car and then I'll come talk to you. Okay. >> No. >> All right. 216. I'll have one 1015. >> Have a seat for me. >> No. >> Oh, wait. Hold on. Actually, >> sanitize real quick. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> All right. Have a seat, buddy. >> No. >> All right. Watch your knees. All right. I'd like to talk to you about something. Okay. But in order to do that, I have to advise your rights cuz you're in the back of my car in handcuffs. You're not free to walk away from me. Does that make sense? >> I understand. Yeah. >> Okay. All right. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can't be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer.

You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand your rights? >> I do. >> Okay. Those rights in mind, would you like to talk to me? >> Sure. >> Okay. So, I'd like to know why first of all, what's in all those bottles? Is that clear? >> Uh, that that that's that's shoe goo. Yeah. I mean, that's obviously for my boots. Yeah. For the Yeah. >> So, let me ask you this. Can you explain to me what's the purpose of you taking all that shoe glue out of its container that it's already sold in and putting it in different size bottles? >> Actually, I there's some on my boots right now. >> No, I I want you to explain to me what was the purpose of taking the shoe glue out of its tube that it's sold in and then putting it in different bottles. Well, I I I can't use it in the tube, officer. I have to have to vote on Yeah. >> Why is that? >> Um, it it's it's contained the the the tube is the container for the glue, right? >> And so, in the in the container, it stays and it it's it's not actually a substance yet. It's not actually glue. It's not an adhesive. So, you have to remove it from the tube and you have to put it on your boots or in a bottle or like on a fork or a knife or something or plate and use it and then spread it over. >> So, let me ask you this one. So, if I read the instructions on the back of the tube that it's sold in, it's going to tell me it's going to explain to me that I have to take it out of its tube, put it in another tube in order for it to work. >> I I'm not sure. I assume so. No, no, no. That's what No, no, no. Google it. That's That's what you just told me. I want to clarify. That's what you're telling me? >> Okay. Yes. Yes, officer. >> Okay. That's what you're telling me? >> Sure. >> Okay. So, when I read the instructions, that's what it's going to say. >> I believe so. Yes. >> Okay. You believe so? >> To my understanding. To my limited knowledge. Yes. I believe so. >> Sure. >> Okay. All right. So, why put it in a bunch of different ones? >> I That's all I have actually. I I'm not I'm not sure I don't understand the question. >> Okay. So, you have more than one bottle. Okay. What was the purpose of putting them in a bunch of different bottles and having that much shoe glue? You only have two pairs of boots or excuse me, one pair of boots. >> Now, I said one pair of boots, two shoes. Yeah. Yeah. Two. >> Yeah. So, so why so many >> apply directly to the surface? >> Okay. So, the directions say apply directly. So, it's not saying you got to put it in another container for it to work. >> No. Oh, that's that's not that's already been applied. That's an empty shoe. That's empty, officer. Yeah. >> All right. Do you want to be honest with me? >> Uh, sure. Yeah. Well, let us know. >> Okay. So, what were you really doing with the shoe glue in the bottle? >> My Yeah, for my boots, officer. >> Okay. So, why was the Sprite bottle that has no Sprite but is full of shoe glue? Why was it up near your nose and you're breathing in deeply? >> Absolutely not. I don't know. >> It's on camera. >> Um, I guess I guess run the cameras back then. I No, no, no. No, it's on camera because I also watched it with my eyes. That's why I'm not >> Okay, I believe you, officer. I mean, you're definitely not lying. I'm I'm >> Were you sniffing it? >> No. >> You weren't sniffing or inhaling? >> No. No. I don't No, no, officer. >> So, my So, what I saw is not true. >> I I do It's hot outside. Maybe it was uh I'm not sure. I'm not sure what you saw. I'm not saying you're a liar. >> I just uh >> Can I tell you Can I tell you what what I saw and what I think you're doing? Actually, what I know you're doing, it's not what I think. >> Uh uh, sure. pops. Sir, go ahead. >> You can't tell me. Let's see how many are over there. One, two, three, four, five. Five 1 oz containers of shoe repair and protective coating, which even warns about inhaling it. >> Yeah. You don't want to You >> right. Yeah. And it's very hard for me to believe that you took all the shoe glue out of this and put it in multiple containers, enclosed containers, and then when I pull up, you're sitting there inhaling it from the Sprite bottle that does not have Sprite. It's about a quarter filled with shoe glue. I listen, I know what it looks like when people huff and inhale. It is what it is. Okay? >> All I'm asking is that you you be honest with me cuz I take offense when you you treat me like I'm dumb. I'm not dumb. Ah, I didn't I didn't know your words, not mine. >> I'm not saying that you're saying that, but you're implying it when I'm telling you what I see and all the evidence leads to only one conclusion. >> Officer, you're you're way more intelligent than I am. I I don't know what you mean by implying things. Uh, thank you for your service, I guess. >> Okay. Are you normally like this? Cuz you also when I first walked up, you kind of had slur speech, too. >> Oh, do I have an accent? I guess I mean it's possible. How should I speak? or you just I don't know if that's normal for you. So, I'm just kind of curious. >> I think this is how I talk. >> Okay. Do you want to be honest and just admit that's you were huffing it and that's what it was? >> I'll be honest and say I was not huffing it. No. >> Okay. All right. Do you have any questions for me? >> Um, are you going to take me somewhere or? >> Yeah, you're going to go down to county jail. >> Sure. I guess let's go. Uh, do you want my bike and stuff? Can I get my bag and get my ID and everything? No, your uh your bag will go with you. >> All right, cool. >> All right. >> All right. All right, buddy. Thank you. >> All right, Gordon, go ahead and step out for me. >> We're going to get the cuffs up front for you. Okay. >> No. What we going to do here? >> We're going to walk right over here. >> All right. >> All right. What I want you to do is just put your shins right up against that. Don't step on it. >> Shins. >> Shins. Yep. There you go. Listen, all your stuff's going to go with you. Your bike, if you want to get it when you get out, okay? Go down to the Clearwater Police Department in downtown, show them your ID, and they'll give your bike back to you. >> Cool. He's put your [ __ ] left side. Hey, it sounds like they have another 1015 at Target. You want to see if he'll just come here for you? >> Where is it? >> Target. Ah, >> Target. >> Yeah. Do you want Yeah, they can come here as well. 216 217. You go to 14 right now. >> Yeah. >> Hey, I'm 1012 with PT up here at Best Shalom. He wants to know if you can bring the 1015 here.
