understanding all that information is
available online so I just want to know
who you are
just a guy one guy who I have to say for
anyone who looks at this
climate some guy decides to throw in air
support
and I thought it was funny to take a
sign and yeah I thought it was funny and
you thought it was funny till till we
said stop and I was going to chase you
on camera to be honest I knew I screwed
whatever you guys got started following
me and I panicked
yeah because when we see our signs
moving we're like wow somebody's not
helping us they're hurting
you
you
okay so hi my friend Rebecca and I were
holding signs at Holly Plaza and we
watched him pick up this frames of other
signs down by Holly Plaza so then we
chased after him each other hey like you
can't take our sign that's a felony
and then he stopped said in English he
didn't speak English she speaks perfect
English and then I started running so we
kept chasing him and then he threw all
these on the ground how many do you take
you go away now we're here okay did you
guys personally put these signs that
heats up out all right and so he just
shortly after that he just came by in a

cellphone what's in your keys I believe
in turn
all right so is there something wrong
with this person that you took the signs
for I'm just assuming it okay you don't
have to say that you did it and I want
to know why would if what's wrong with
this person well it just seemed to me
that well okay frankly I disagree with
them politically and I thought there
were a lot of signs and I know that this
particular candidate has been taking a
lot of money from outside New Mexico and
I thought if it was okay for that
candidate to be taking outside money I
could I could express my political voice
by taking down a few signs and that they
had put up everything but how do you 30
30 kids know but you do know to rights
don't make a run yes old old saying
right yes I know I'm I also realized
that I haven't just stupid
should not have should I should not have
listened to my worst impulses yeah yeah
and so do you take any medication for
this yes I take cetera lean cetera et
cetera Lee and I am it's a been
diagnosed with depression with
depression and it's an antidepressant I
believe
the brand name is zoloft or what about
the impulse control have you been
diagnosed or you just believe you have
now I mean it's just I don't I didn't
mean to say that as a da sorry sorry I
didn't mean to say that as a diagnosis I
doesn't mean you're wrong but I'm just
curious yeah I have not been diagnosed
but do you believe you have that or you
just believe sometimes you just do
stupid I I believe I have a consistent
pattern of doing stupid [ __ ] Wow yeah
that's not good
see a lot of times what happens when
people continue to do stupid you know
what I arrest them and that really kind
of gets them up a little bit yeah you
need that know so you don't think you
need to open up I think that I think I
think this has woken me up have you ever
been arrested
all right so we're gonna go over to my
police car I'm gonna run your
information to you do you have any
Mexico driver's license yes it is that
my house do me a favor don't lie to me
about your name your date of birth
social security no better because I'll
know soon as you do yeah and then I will
arrest yeah right now I haven't made up
my mind what's gonna happen as far as I
know I got to do a report okay and I
know I'm gonna at least summoned you
into court for this but there is a
chance you can also get arrested for it
but in the meantime you're gonna
cooperate with me you're gonna walk up
to my car okay so we're gonna make this
very easy okay all right going to stand
by the wreath
and whatever I say to them or whatever
they say to you don't talk back easier
if you all have a driver's license cars
are know where you heard that Holly
pause we ran over go it face the other
way excited unfair I don't know anything
about politics pretty much Republican
Democrat Republican in a nonpartisan
it's a nonpartisan election how many
things
[Applause]
so who would technically be the victim
the campaign because it wouldn't be the
state of New Mexico well there's a
problem until I have a victim that is
set in stone that tells me they want to
prosecute this guy all I'm able to do
right now is do a police report that's
nice if you find out from the campaign
they want to prosecute him later
[Applause]
you
work too you know it's just a number in
case you guys decide to prosecute in the
district attorney he needs to get a hold
of you put your last name in Stevens
do you guys know each other just work
together yeah me too
all right you want to give me a phone
you
let me give you my name in case no
and that way like I said you guys could
get ahold of me if whoever decides they
want across it's a stand by one second
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
they're from chasing him what right I
get worked up very easily when I'm
driving so that's the case never has my
name and badge number that's the number
you'll call 242-cops has to get ahold of
me say what is in reference to don't put
the case never delayed somebody case
numbers I'm sorry tasting okay you don't
remember that face
thank you alright walk over to my car
[Applause]
we're gonna stand right on the other
side of this mirror what's your last
name first name
what's your address
six 701 el Modesto Court Northeast
Albuquerque where'd you live before that
it's probably what's in the system is
neo box 39 San Rafael New Mexico all
right eight seven one eight seven oh
five one
okay yes
so here's what's gonna have to have to
happen I'm not going to be able to
arrest you at the moment okay only
because they're not the victims the
victim would be the campaign and
somebody from the campaign that is in
charge of the campaign would have to
tell me yes we want to prosecute this
guy for stealing our signs
now they explained that this was a
felony
taking campaign signs so you see
something that maybe you thought was you
know not that big of a deal or you're
gonna express your opinion do you know
that you live in the United States of
America I served in the military in the
United States of America in the army I
fought for everybody's freedom even
though I didn't fight but I serve for
everybody's freedom everybody in this
country has the right to legally protest
you're not protesting legally today sir
okay now if you're protesting legally
I'd stand right there and sell the other
person leave him alone he's allowed to
do that okay same instance they're
putting the signs up legally I'm telling
you you leave them alone they're allowed
to do that okay so remember where you
live I understand with politics things
get heated politics and religion right
but everybody has the right in this
country to do things legally you do it
illegally then that's what I have to
show up handcuffs come out people go to
jail not fun I have to explain to the
judge so what's gonna happen is I'm
making a report saying what happened
today if they contact me later on and
say yes we want him charged with this
you're gonna be charged with it and
you'll get a letter in the mail from the
district attorney telling you when your
court date is okay do you understand yes
you understand what you did was wrong
yeah I understand
it was illegal I'm not protesting
legally by taking down designs and that
is not covered under free speech yeah so
in the future just try and you know slap
yourself say alright not a good idea
walk away no matter how much you believe
or don't believe in a cause okay all
right thank you have a good day okay
thank you yes sir
you
you
