Who the hell do you think you are? You can't take him to jail. He's the goddamn sheriff. >> You can't you you can't you can't you can put me in what? You can't take me in jail. I'm a goddamn sheriff. >> One of the most slobberingly inebriated drunk drivers you have ever seen in your life tells a cop, >> I'm very freaking embarrassed. Like you can't freaking believe. You can't freaking believe. No, actually I can freaking believe the great amount of embarrassment you must feel getting caught drinking and driving. The thing I can't believe is that this is the first time you've done it. First time you got caught? Yes. First time you did it? No. And this isn't just any random drunk driver. This is the county sheriff. And you probably won't be surprised to find out that this sheriff tried to badge himself out of trouble. >> Listen, >> I don't know who you are. >> I'm I'm a Millie County Sheriff. >> And here's that same sheriff suggesting to the officer that there are certain things she can do to hide this whole incident from the public. >> You know, there's there's there's things you can do to move around that type thing and nobody knows and whatnot. Oh, Jerry. Jerry, >> you care for what you're saying? >> Well, all I'm all I'm saying is that uh yeah, I'm I'm very sorry for putting you in that spot, Van Slotton. I'm I'm I I don't mean to do that, but I uh [snorts] Jesus Christ, I'm a sheriff. >> I know. >> The guy who basically warned the sheriff that everything he's saying is being recorded is Garfield Township Police Chief Jerry Cannon. I venture to say that most people on the planet have not seen this video. and you really should, so please share it. Back on November 16th, 2018 in Kowska County, Michigan, Midland County Sheriff Scott Stevenson was driving so drunk he couldn't even form a coherent sentence. >> Sir, >> pardon Christ. >> Pardon? >> Sir, you need to wake up and talk to me. >> Stop. I I don't understand. >> Yeah, don't feel bad. I don't understand him either, officer. But what I do understand is that Sheriff Stevenson during the course of his career has probably nabbed more drunk drivers than he can possibly count. And as we've seen in the past in so many law enforcement agencies, even if they weren't drunk, he probably reported them as drunk anyway and ruined their lives. Remember the over 600 sober drivers in Tennessee who were railroaded by a system that rewards false reporting on fake DUI arrests? We're going to take a look at this video and make some comments along the way, but I want you to pay close attention to how law enforcement agents treat other law enforcement agents and seek in any way they can to put them behind the thin blue line of silence. Sir. Sir, >> this guy is out. >> Sir, >> pardon. >> Crisis. >> Pardon? >> Sir, you need to wake up and talk to me. His tongue is not working. >> I I don't understand. What are you doing? You're on the side of the road, slumped over. What's going on? I need to know you're all right now. You don't look all right. What's your name? Look like you're you're going hunting. No. Yeah. Sir, do you have any uh medical conditions at all? You've been drinking, sir. You need to talk to me. 31 Central. He's um he's responsive, but not very responsive. Uh breathe in. Um can't make out any words. Hi there. Whoa, your eyes are open. What's going on? What's going on today? >> Oh jeez. Uh >> coming back. >> Holy [ __ ] >> E boy. >> What is a >> What do you got me lighted up for? >> I have you light it up because we had a call. Well, first off, it's so no one hits us. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And second of all, someone called said you were sitting on the side of the road, slumped over, which you were. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> What uh what's going on today? >> Nothing. >> Nothing. >> No. >> You got to give me a little more than that. Not Not just We don't all just sit down and sleep on the side of the road. >> I know. I'm sorry. >> Have you been drinking? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yep. [clears throat] Yep. Bed bed. Uh >> okay. >> Uh bed. I'm not driving. >> Right. But you [laughter] How did you get here is the question. >> Yeah, I know. I I uh uh bad bad dealio. >> Yeah, it would have been a bad dealio if you plowed into a mom's minivan while she's taking her kids to soccer practice. Where are you coming from? >> Midland. >> Midland. >> I'm from Midland. >> Okay. >> Hey, >> 4031 Central. He's responsive now. I' I've got him talking. >> I'm good. I'm I'm >> okay. >> You know who I am or not? >> I don't know who you are. >> Be there any Well, let me let step out of the >> No, no, no. Uh, >> it's Van Slotton. What's >> Oh [ __ ] Yeah. [ __ ] Are you kidding me? >> Someone that my dispatcher called. Someone thought you were dead over here. >> I'm [ __ ] good. Hey. >> He's freaking out because he saw that the EMTs have just arrived on the scene to take care of him, which is going to make everything public. And he doesn't want anything to go public. Now he's going to leverage his law enforcement power and his qualified immunity. >> No, I don't know. >> Sultan. Hey, listen. >> I don't know who you are. >> I'm I'm [ __ ] >> [ __ ] Midland County Sheriff. I >> Midland County, Michigan. Population 83,000. Meet the sheriff. Sheriff Scott Stevenson. >> I'm [ __ ] good. I had a [ __ ] bad day. Okay. I don't I don't need EMS. I don't need you. It'd be cool if he What? What? You know, but I I don't I do not need EMS. I'm I'm I'm [ __ ] Millie County. Where where where are you? >> Kasa. This is Kasa County. >> [ __ ] >> He's He's all right. >> We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. >> Um >> I'll get out. >> Step out. Yeah. >> But talk to them. They they we're going to need to know you're all right cuz they already have been called. You know the drill. I'm good. I'm good. Scott. >> Scott. >> I do not need a help. I I I uh >> I I just wait here one second. All right. >> Two hours ago. >> How much do you usually drink when you drink? >> Not very. >> Now, that was their edit right there. They cut that out. And I really would like to have heard for public record what this cop said to her superior about this slip slapping drunk sheriff. >> You're not a big drinker? >> No. >> Okay. >> No, but you know. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, what did you Yeah, it looks like he did. He had McDonald's. >> I had a McDonald's uh uh out of Lake City or Yeah, something. Yeah, something. >> Was it Lake City? >> Okay. >> Jesus got you guys. >> I know. >> Hey, uh, do you know him? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, what kind of a person would I be if I just let you go and and drive off, you know? >> Uh, um, I can take responsibility. I know that's Garfield Township Police Chief Jerry Cannon saying, "I'll take responsibility. Let's just shove this under the rug and pretend like it never happened. Nobody's got to know. >> You got to do what you got to do. I'm not trying to I uh I uh uh I I I I'm I'm fine. I'm embarrassed. I'm not >> I I realize that. Um >> uh >> I I know. But I like I guess I I just talked to my sergeant and he said I >> you know you got to do what you got to do. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I understand. >> I >> I understand. >> I understand. I mean I I get the the camaraderie and the you know, we're all >> No, it's it's more about um I I I understand what you're I I I do. I get it. I get it. Um >> and >> uh how embarrassing is it? I I I've arrested more >> I no I and I respect >> What was he going to say? I've arrested more drunk drivers. I mean I understand this looks completely hypocritical and it is. And I bet this sheriff has never cut any drunk driver slack unless that other drunk driver was a guy who stood behind the badge. >> I respect the hell out of you. I do. >> Would you have respected the hell out of this sheriff if he plowed into your husband or one of your kids, put him in the hospital or six feet under? >> Do I? But I talked to Kevin. >> I' I've had a bad I've had a bad gosh darn day. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> no, I and I respect I respect the hell out of you. I do. I But I I've had a bad I've had a bad gosh darn day. Yeah. >> Uh, with mom and my uncle. And I I don't want to give you a Saab story. I'm not going to do that. >> Too late. You just did it. >> Um, uh, I hate to put you in this situation. And, uh, and, and that's what, you know, >> do you think, how do you, on a scale of 1 to 10, where do you think you're at >> for driving, >> alcohol, >> drinking? >> Drinking. Yeah. Uh, five. I don't know. That would be good. >> And then police chief Jerry Cannon says five out of 10. That'd be pretty good. We can let him slide with that. Five. I don't know. >> That would be good. >> I I I can I can I can I can uh I can get to my brother's place in right now. I had to pull over. I had to I had to take a little I I I have not I I you would not know my personal life to to even get into that. I I I swear to goodness I won't. >> Um but I am very I'm very freaking embarrassed. Like you can't freaking believe. You can't freaking believe. How many drinks have you had >> today? today. In the last four hours? Four? I don't know. In the last >> In the last four hours. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's It's >> 4:00. Little after about 4:30. >> They They took my watch off. Um. >> Yeah. It's 4:30. Yeah. Yeah. 4. >> So, it's four and >> four beers. Four. >> Four beers. >> Four beers. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You'd burn that off. I I can I can >> probably be okay. Just a couple minutes ago, this guy could not talk. And police chief Jerry says it'll probably be okay. You think police chief Jerry Cannon would say you're okay to drive if they were in the same condition? Is this sheriff? >> What was the last and you had the last one two hours ago? >> Yeah. Yeah, probably. >> Where at? >> I was uh Midland. >> No, Gladwin. >> Gladwin. >> Uh yeah, cuz that's where I came from. >> Okay. Yeah, I can I can you guys I uh Jesus Christ, I'm begging you, man.

But I [clears throat] uh I've had a bad day. Uh, and that's what it [snorts] is. >> Let's do the field sobriety and >> see if it see if it plays out. I mean, if if you said you've had four. >> Yeah.

You have qualified immunity. We have the badge of protection. You can't do this to me. They believe that with their whole hearts that they are above their their own laws, let alone the things that they make up. They're above the law. You have to abide by the law. If you break the law, they're going to throw the book at you. But when they break the law, they want preferential treatment. >> Yep. >> Gota go. Gota go. >> I'll take responsibility for this so you don't have to call or >> Okay. >> I'm so sorry. >> I don't know what that means. >> Oh, you got it in. >> Oh, Jesus Christ. Sorry, >> everybody.

It's not like the old days. We can't do what we used to do. We can't punch somebody in the face and abuse them because they used words against us and challenged our authority. We can't do that anymore. The cameras are rolling and gosh, what will people think? >> Wow. >> So, let's do what we got to do. >> Um, >> you were in the car with the key. She had he had the keys. >> I I I I keys in the ignition. He has a pocket. >> It's a fob. >> Thanks, Jerry. I I know you would hope it would turn out differently, but there's nothing I can do. >> Oh jeez. O Pete, are you serious? There's really nothing >> nothing. >> Like I said, I >> um >> it's it's it was on it was called in. It was over the radio. >> Oh, >> I mean, >> if it wasn't called in, if it wasn't over the radio, if we didn't have these cameras on, you know what we'd be doing, sheriff? We'd be driving you home. I'd have a officer come out here. We'd drive your car home. We'd make sure that you're tucked into bed. You got a little warm uh cup of cider there so that you can sober up. But unfortunately, it's already gone out on the radio. We've already got the body cam footage. So, our hands are tied. We're only doing the right thing because we've already been exposed. That's what they're saying. Honey, I I I I don't mean to [snorts] I'm sorry to put you in a bad spot. >> No, I'm I I just if I >> Honey, I'm I'm so sorry to put you in that spot. I really am.

I am. You know, I am >> maybe not. >> Yeah, I am. And and that's that's that's what it is. I uh I made a poor choice. Uh I drank too much today. >> And you own it and people understand. And >> I I'm [ __ ] I'm [ __ ] You're seriously going to take me to jail for drunk driving. >> I can't I can't There's nothing I can do. >> There is. But it's it's it's it's okay. And and and I don't I don't uh Jesus Christ, Jerry. Are you [ __ ] me? You're a goddamn general. You can't [ __ ] do anything, Jerry. Who did you just talk? >> [ __ ] I know you can. >> Waves of realization just keep coming through into this sheriff's head. It gets more and more real when he realizes and understands he's going to be arrested and taken to jail. But are they still are they going to treat him differently than the way they treat us? >> Stay tuned. >> I'm not the sheriff anymore. >> I know you're not. I know. I know. Abee's gone, too. And I know >> old days and ways are gone. >> Little or no flexibility anymore. >> Jesus Christ. I can't go to jail for drunk driving. God damn it. Are you [ __ ] me? Can you [ __ ] not just Can I just not get this car towed and [ __ ] put me I I I I don't I don't [ __ ] know, Jerry. Come on.

Give me the keys. It'll be at my house. >> I'm [ __ ] I'm So my my brother's going to be >> It'll be at my house. So the police chief instead of impounding the sheriff's vehicle is going to take it to his house as a courtesy, a professional courtesy. Oh, >> Jesus Christ. My life's [ __ ] taking the change. Taking a change. I'm [ __ ] I am [ __ ] Jerry. >> We We'll talk about that in a minute. >> Well, it doesn't there's nothing to talk about.

I had such a good thing going. I was the best road pirate in town. I was the sheriff of a county with 83,000 people. And I just screwed the whole thing up. Please, I beg you. Come on. Where's that officer discretion? >> How many years you got in? >> Well, I'm on the department. >> Jesus Christ, Jerry. I [ __ ] [snorts] I got two years of [ __ ] gold, man. I'm [ __ ] done.

You cannot unring it. >> How the [ __ ] did it get wrong, man? >> I'm I'm sorry. What are you talking about, Jerry? The sheriff made a conscious choice to drink and then get behind the wheel of a car. >> How How the [ __ ] did this >> with the traffic? Hey, people called this in. An officer responded. I saw the ambulance go by my house. I go, "Oh [ __ ] something going on." I come down just to help see what the hell's going on. I didn't know we knew till I got here. There's nothing I can be done [ __ ] getting arrested. Jesus Christ. Kevin Shab's probably one of the the better sergeants you can talk to. The sheriff doesn't even have the wherewithal and the composure to handle this thing gracefully and with integrity. He literally sounds like a biage. So now they come back to the police department where the sheriff gets booked in. As you can see, he gets out of the police vehicle with no cuffs on. Look at this. No cuffs. Let's watch. Look at that. Hands in his pockets all over the place. This is the female deputy or the female officer that arrested him. He was in the backseat of the car. Look, he's patting himself down. The officer is not even putting her hands on him. He doesn't have the torture cuffs on. And of course, they wouldn't do that to him because he's part of the Thin Blue Line gang. >> I would have realized it. It's the sheriff. Can we be discreet? Put all that right here. >> This guy's over here in the window. Is that the sheriff? All right. >> What's he in for? >> Yeah. >> You want some food? >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> Yeah. Get your boots off there for me. Then I'll have you turn around. finally gets a pat down, but definitely treated differently than the rest of us. So the problem with machine apparently will just take you in for a blood draw and be the same. No, you won't get any violations on your restricted >> I'm not I'm not trying to say this problem with our machine >> cuz she's done it four or five times and it's going for >> Yeah. >> I didn't refuse. >> No, >> no. This is >> this is it because Who said that? >> Yeah, that's what Grip said. >> Oh, he >> put on his machine and take him in for blood draw. >> No, I realized that. But did we know that >> he's going to Yeah, he's going to tell him to come fix it again. Ever since they got the problem. >> Yeah, I guess. >> Here, here's some water for you, Sheriff. Can we get you anything else? Can we shine your orange crocs for you? I just turned it off. >> I got here. >> 15 minutes later, they head off to the hospital. Says his blood was never tested as he plead guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Stevenson sentenced one-year probation. KCASa County Prosecutor Michael Peralt stated that the outcome was routine, adding that he had not seen the body worn camera footage and that he had been unaware of Stevenson's law enforcement background when charges were filed. Go and look at every single case that's ever been prosecuted through this county and they're all going to be exactly the same. You get stopped for drunk driving. You get charged for drunk driving. You have no priors. Your offer is going to be impaired and with an impaired, they put you on probation. If you successfully complete probation, the jail will be held in advance. Sheriff Scott Stevenson issued a public apology, took responsibility, they say, and said he pulled over after feeling the effects of alcohol while trying to get cell service. In December 28th, he plead guilty to operating a motor vehicle while visibly impaired. He received just one year probation, paid fines and costs under $600, and received no jail time. He did not resign and finished his term, which ended December 31st, 2020. And Jerry, of course, retired with full benefits.
