come in contact with a deputy Rodriguez the other day down in Poinciana in Osceola County do you recall that yes okay can you just tell me what happened I was conducting a funeral okay and this was right in the cemetery okay one of the gentlemen who works for Metro State hmm came up towards me and said can you come in see what's happening here okay so I came I had my traffic vest on mmm because I helped conduct the traffic in the parking lot and the officer was talking to them in the meantime one of the metro state guys was videoing it with his boss okay well he asked me who are you so I said I conduct all the funerals here and of course when he saw the sheriff thing on my best he said are you a sheriff I said yes I'm a volunteer with the Orange County Sheriff's Office nothing further was said okay did you tell me you specified your volunteer yes okay did at any point that you feel like you gave him the impression you are a deputy sheriff no what were you wearing I know you just described what were you wearing your while you were there that day civilian clothes with my traffic vest on okay and do you usually have permission to to wear your volunteer stuff while you're doing trial your funeral stuff okay do you feel there's any reason that that deputy would get the impression that you were a just totally ignorant okay listen I wasn't there man I know you're frustrating

deputy sheriff you didn't say yes I've been sheriff for seven hours okay all right you know it's all in video all right yes let me call you back in a minute I have a major major problem I need to talk to you okay that was confusing I thought someone was speaking so you typically do that you typically work with the Metro state to do you know funeral enforcement is a funeral only was a funeral for the Islamic centers okay so you only worked the Islamic center on specifically you have some sort of relationship with them that you you have you work okay okay and okay I mean that's all I want to do is get your side of the story and that's fine and I'll record this I'll make sure this is entered you have anything else that you want to tell me right now that you feel like you need to add that you feel like there was a misunderstanding I like that to begin with what I saw the officer was talking to the Metro guys he said he did a traffic stop my mind was boggling because the traffic stop was in the cemetery okay and he insisted they had blue lights and all which they were checking there was no blue lights the lights were purple eventually the same officer called his sergeant or somebody okay sergeant came and they had a little chat on their own I was just standing in the back not saying a word but while the Metro State guys were there and next thing I knew is sergeant just said to them you're going to get a warning ticket was it okay all right like I said I wasn't there I don't know just here to get your statement since there's nothing else for us to go over this interview will now conclude at 1515 ours on the same day December 11 2000 19 you
