look it was cuz you kept trying to say
it's not a gun to me it looked like a
gun no I was
gun I just had dope I'm not going to lie
to
you in either case weed and weapons are
not good items to throw at a children's
party but what officer deera finds next
confirms just how badly this criminal
screwed up best cop in America to get
found with dope cuz I don't give about
dope and now you got to go for
everything dude making me Chase you to a
child's party pull my gun out cuz I

other than the hero of the foot pursuit
saving the day once again and
discovering the mystery
object he threw it good he launched
it I knew saw a gun God damn

recovered great job sir appreciate you
caught lying about throwing drugs
officer deera heads to his squad car for
questioning and as he does he figures
out who the man is and his shocking
criminal history all right man what's
your name
Freddy a i 30-year-old Freddy Myrick
having just returned from a 10-year
prison sentence he is out on Bond and
with past charges of Grand Theft firearm
possession of firearms and highway
racing
Freddy is now facing another wave of
potential felony charges and your last
name Mar m y r i CK you rested before
yeah I'm out on bond out on bond who are
you rested for um a battery and a gun
charge battery and a gun charge you have
any convictions yes sir all man give me
a second just before officer deera goes
to speak with Witnesses he takes the
opportunity to remind Freddy of just how
stupid his actions were hold on why the
would you tell me it's drugs when
there's a children's party walking
around any one of those kids could have
walked up picked up the gun started
fighting with it and guess what now I
got to choose between shooting a
four-year-old kid and trying to tackle
him and losing my life what the is wrong
with you I'm be honest with you sir
legitim I've only been a carop for 3
years that is probably the stupidest
thing I've ever seen done yeah but I I
did it cuz you know I miss my mom but
you know when we ride the guys be trying
to goddamn take our bikes so I grab my
mom gun so I could guys are trying to
take bikes the bikes in question are
souped up dirt bikes and quads with
illegal parts and modifications used to
Street ride the same bikes that tip
police off to their suspect's exact
location in front of the neighborhood
home officer deera then gently reminds
Freddy that these bikes are not a good
look for criminals out on bond they take
our bik well it's it's not legal to be
driving it anyway so why ride it in the
first place when you're out on
bond so why riding now you're riding it
with a stolen gun while you're convicted
felon and then and then the police stop
you all we're going to do is take your
bike if you don't run that's all we're
doing but now you ran now you got to go
and then instead of and then a million
times like I said cuz I knew it was a
gun I I trusted you and I shouldn't have
when you said it was drugs I said maybe
I saw it wrong but I knew it was a gun
then you go out and you take the gun out
of your pocket while a police officer's
chasing
you like I could have shot you in the
back of the
head yes sir like why can do that cuz I
be cuz you know sir I really I didn't
want to go back you know I just did 10
years for what what did you do 10 years
for when I was younger me and my brother
went and did a robbery okay all right
you got to give me a minute let him roax
for a minute then I'll roll the window
down for him but just before officer
deera can bring Freddy to the station a
surprise witness of the event speaks up
and it's none other than the owner of
the weapon Freddy's mother
he runs from us and throws a gun into a
children's party I that I can't fly any
one of those kids could have walked up
and picked up the gun now I got to
choose between getting shot by a kid
accidentally or shooting a kid that
ain't right even in shock of what her
son did she soon makes her own
unexpected move and one only a mother
could make for a son that is likely
facing a lengthy prison sentence I I'll
take your blame for the gun no it's no
you can have a gun in your house but you
can't you got to have a that's being
responsible and not steal it from you to
go right around do stupid stuff but he
took it from you without you knowing
right yeah without me knowing it because
know I have the guns in the house to
prot so don't charge me with that gun
you got to charge him with the gun you
threw a gun into a children's party
while he's running from the police
that's he it's not like but do do the
children know what a gun is the little
four-year-old then when he's running
he's shoving kids out of the way like
child I have a four month old child that
what if he's walking right there and
somebody else shoves your damn kid what
the hell would you do you you beat more
than I
would right I even got him to admit from
what he did he turned while to was
chasing him pulled the gun out looked
back holding a gun and then threw it how
many times on my camera of him doing the
gun like that would people get mad if I
shot him there might be people mad but
then they see the video and be like he
pulled a gun on a cop and threw it so in
the end you're walking away with your
son that didn't that didn't get shot
when you pulled a gun on the cops
I hop
out following the incident Freddy Myrick
is facing one count of carrying a
concealed firearm and one count of
possession of a firearm by a convicted
felon but before he goes to jail he has
one final request for officer
deera I know was tight give me a second
Hey sir sir it's in a way cuz my leg I
can't really bend my leg it's the far as
I can bend it so I it's it's hard wean
like wean up on the glass that way
that'll give you more room
