you don't go away i'm a principal stop there you're gonna kill your dog it's impersonating a police officer yeah that's that's which is a crime what's up man thanks for coming down nine o'clock this morning these folks uh they left their dog out golden retriever was got out of the garage took off running like a silver gmc uh pickup and identifies himself as a police officer flashes the badge at them and says if you can't basically keep your dog if i see your dog do this again i'm gonna kill it this is daniel yeah that's me are you able to see who we are i see where you are and i i i know why you're at my house all right hey daniel horrible not a really horrible judgment call but just double chestnut yeah and she just gave it to me appreciate you hanging out i don't have a choice [Music] even if you haven't training like an officer you know you don't go away [Music] a normal person it's not a crazy guy that's it yes we're stuck with a baggage okay so we have nothing against him okay we don't know him so you do not want to write a statement no no okay do i have to i don't know that's it well it's up to you i mean we're gonna i got another officer on the way um so we're gonna go down there and try to make contact um to find out what what the deal is yes but if it's say for instance he is not a police officer or whatever then that's not good because if he's doing that kind of behavior basically it's impersonating a police officer yeah that's that's which is which is a crime it's oh you can't you cannot just impersonate a police officer um people go to jail for that yes of course so um we'll find out right now but uh do you at least have your id if you don't want to write me a statement can i just at least get your information yes sure i have five drivers like you'll have a password if you want okay this is my driver license okay i mean if you want i mean i can just i can just have you very briefly just put down okay on what you said yeah that way because i'm regardless i'm gonna be doing a report on this okay because even if he is a police officer or he's an officer of some sort i mean that kind of behavior should not be i mean i said i don't know if he was having a bad day or what but like i said there's a certain way of behavior way to conduct yourself on duty and off duty and that is not off duty i mean you know i mean if you're going to identify yourself it better be you know in a polite professional manner yes and it may be it better be for a good reason yes to help somebody or or whatnot or or to prevent something from happening even agree or not agree on something with the dog but i know but don't know identify like there are three dogs in that street and that's really the back there three dogs like mine i think he has a problem with other dogs and he was a very bad day but the thing was very aggressive in here three o'clock you see kids with dogs every every time every five minutes so this guy would have baggage and say that kind of stuff i have two kids so and where was it was right here at uh it was in this yes there's uh is that that's the haven right there right where the stop sign is oh so right by that loop yeah the roundabout there okay the uh court side curbside okay they walk straight they walk up place they work i don't know that's the tree and that's what you call this curbside yeah this is a sidewalk yeah tomato tomato i mean close enough what would they say kilo 27 alpha what's my 1099 maybe some more people after yes who knows and again sorry for making you come here no you don't have to be sorry about anything it's not really a crime but it's important well i mean like i said if he's identifying himself as a police as a police officer and that's a crime in itself i mean if you're going to be just like if you're going to be you're say you're an attorney you better have your bar card available to show that um that's that's that's it it would seem to find out and you would be able to if you saw him again you'd be able to identify him yeah sure okay i tried to stick with him i like to say excuse me you maybe you're confused with the dog i'm just it was not that normal behavior yeah yeah maybe he do that with other neighbors no maybe he'd do that usually yeah because he has that can he go crazy but we don't know if it's at a point if he has a baggage inside the car so he do it constantly that's why he said if he's not officer he has very big problems right now it's tomato that's why he said about nine o'clock yeah my wife me and my mother was we are okay there you go sir and then uh you're welcome if you want to just print your name right here and then just basically state what you told me that on february 23rd 2018 approximately 9 a.m your golden retriever dog got out of the garage you went into your vehicle to go track him down and you were over by the haven and randall park and then this is what happened okay okay i i think he is not obviously you know why because when we because of the driver and i told him take a photo of his plaque like his plate because it could happen something tomorrow and we we didn't know nothing and he started running and going back and say where he's going and then he says let's go over there and he he stopped his back on the uh no in the house but the lake that's that size knowing his house i mean no here no in the parking so no in the grand grab how you call this the grass okay so you didn't know what house he was in but he wasn't in the car at the moment maybe he said the proceeding what i mean like i said he could have just been having a bad day and he was angry but did he specifically said police officer that's that's why you need to put that in there when i he told that i was you know you change your attitude because as a neighbor you do something for example exactly you have to you have to say okay to be clear what is happening here what's up man thanks for coming down nine o'clock this morning these folks uh they left their dog out golden retriever uh was that got out of the garage took off running and then they jumped in their car went to go get him and he they were basically by dehaven and randall park by the roundabout there oh yeah and so then a like a silver gmc uh pickup sierra comes like pulling up next to him or whatever guy rolls down his window and starts basically cussing them out and identifies himself as a police officer flashes the badge at them and says if you can't basically keep your dog if i see your dog do this again i'm going to kill it and then so then he asks oh you're a police officer and then uh he tried looking at the badge and then he like hit it and then he took off and sped down over here one different few ways and then i guess he backed in or pulled in over here somewhere and then they got out and took a picture of the tag and so i ran the tag tag comes back to right down the street okay so we're gonna go uh i'm just having him write a statement quick to see okay we'll make contact the guy i pulled him up and david no problem he didn't make any other threats did she did he just said he would kill the dog they killed the dog he was police officer he was he was having a very bad day you remember what kind of badge it was was it like silver was it gold no it was a square star you know like a star it was nothing around just just the back like at the store and he just he wasn't and he took the baggage he looked at me he says i'm a police officer when i saw that i just go away to his window to stick with him right away yeah and he'd take the bag and put it in the back i was like it's not the normal behavior that's when my mother says go after him let's see who's who is this guy why he's still showing it back here he didn't see any like lights or anything in the truck or anything no no no no no it's not going to be a unmarked car because because he has a personalized miami tag there's no officer it's a good moment to say hi you can know continue to do that well it would have been an opportunity to introduce himself and said hey i'm your i'm your neighbor and i would appreciate it if you keep your dog from running loose yeah thank you have a nice day yes right away and i'm going to act i'm so sorry about this yeah if my kid opened the door he was yeah so i'm sorry but like i said i'm doing a report regardless because if he is law enforcement i mean he shouldn't be no annoying acting like that to begin with like i said before like if work if he's basically implying that he's a person a police officer people go to jail for that yes so you cannot just impersonate and say oh i'm a police officer and we call that the substitute identity somebody that he wants to be but he isn't that's a normal that's a sick thing it's not good you got your uh thing again i'm tired of having stuff all over the place man sounds different it does it's a lot different you probably get better reception though yeah getting a little bit closer up yeah i'm not down here so it's fine out there i'm just tired of having stuff up here and pulling down on my shirt so this is yeah yes you have to practice yes you're doing very well thank you you're very kind amazing i studied in columbia university long time ago yeah long long time ago on 77 73 yeah two days ago sorry about my english no you're better my french is better my spanish better but my english is sometimes not difficult as i say i don't want a problem with my neighbor you know maybe you have to write down i want to be sure that he was a police officer showing something you know it's not it's not a game to show this i'm a police officer that's against a lot of impersonator top anyways but i make a fast part depart okay he tried to get lost and then i called the police show me a badge and then okay so let me kill the dog okay um you swearing from everything right here is true you just sign right there my mother was here there my wife and my kids everybody wants to get it that's fine and then uh if you just put your initials right there that says you'll testify in court on our behalf if need be if we ever have to go to court for anything okay um so i hope not you guys are gonna be you're gonna be here for a few minutes i'm gonna be for yeah well we'll let you know regard one of us will come down here and we'll park and we'll i know but i'm saying one of us will come back down here and let you know okay uh the outcome okay yeah it won't be too long i mean it won't be too long because if we if we do make contact with somebody down there we'll have uh have you just verify that we're you know if it gets to that point if it goes or if we make contact with a certain person and it goes a certain way whatever based on what they tell us okay we may have to have you just you know just jump in maybe a car walk down yeah or just to show i just want to verify it is the same person failure please yeah well i i understand that but like i said it's the the whole thing you cannot impersonate a police officer if you're not so if he's not a police officer and he's doing that then that's he should i mean it's gonna come to an end okay um kilo 2 7 alpha all right show myself and kilo 2 4 alpha we're going to be out at references actually is that let me check what did i just say so it is it is down a little bit farther so i was right initially there you are i just want to hold that front i'm just going to walk back i'm going to see if that truck's still there [Applause] [Music] [Music] no nope nothing so i don't know they said he parked it on the street initially it's all dark so i don't know man that sounds different [Applause] it does i'm not i'm still trying to use [Music] see it's still doing the circular thing little doggy [Music] there we go i got somebody here hi there sorry hi no worries how are you today sorry to bother you is uh daniel here no he's not okay um i guess there was an incident um that we're investigating um how are you related to daniel he's my boyfriend okay do you know where does he work he works at publix he's not at work though he works at publix yeah okay does he do anything else uh no okay do you know where uh you know where we can get a hold of him um i have his phone number to my cell phone i don't have it memorized but okay he's getting his fingers he had a doctor's appointment do you want me to get this number yeah that'd be perfect thank you one second [Applause] [Music] hello yeah it's me how are you this is daniel yes it's me hey do you are you able to see who we are i see where you are and i i i know why you're at my house you know why yes sir i lost i made a false accusation and i was a little upset this morning you made a false accusation okay correct okay um all right well we're gonna need to meet with you in person given this uh given what happened okay all right that's four i i know so um give do you have an approximate time when you're going to be here because we really need i mean we'd like to get we'd like to get this over with as soon as possible you know what let me let me call the radiologist let me see if i can cancel okay that would probably be the best okay so you're going to be on your way back go ahead stay there i'm on my way home okay all right thank you daniel all right all right all right bye now we've got this one um thank you okay okay no problem turning my camera off there's a stabilizer yep we're gonna attend three wait for him he's on his way home and uh we'll reinitiate camera when he gets 10 12. hey daniel horrible it's not a really horrible judgment call but go ahead no keep you got something to say you could say i mean um no we'll see what happened was that there's a golden retriever that gets loose all the time so i when i was coming home i saw him in the middle of the road i made the u-turn to get it and when i saw the owner picking it up i said something to him and i i have a an official uh broward county sheriff badge my best friend is a sheriff deputy so when there was conversations i i told him i was gonna record it i see the ball loose again and then he said are you an officer out of judgment i should have said no because i've never done this before the four and a half years i've had the badge um and i said yes and then that's that's what it that's how it ended okay um you wanna just have a seat for me yeah i gotta i'll be back buddy all right here i just gotta um do you have your id that's perfect i appreciate you you don't have anything on you know you don't know okay so you might follow my truck oh yeah if you just won't all right so um i just got to go over some questions here for you okay you said what you wanted to say so now that i have my opportunity um you have the right to remain silent do you understand yes anything you say may be used against you in court do you understand yes you have the right to talk to an attorney before and during questioning do you understand if you cannot afford a lawyer and want one one will be provided for you before questioning without charge do you understand has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to me no okay okay so basically you've already said i mean that's that's what was that's the whole truth i have no reason to lie i'll admit uh and as soon as it happened i called i came home real quick so i had to go get a haircut and then i had the radiology appointment set for 11 30 and uh i i told heather i'm probably gonna get in trouble so that's what we're at okay yeah i mean they were really i mean cool about it as far as you know like they know in those terms that i say i was an officer no terms i would never do that because i respected i respect everyone in blue it was just that i didn't want to see the dog getting hurt it was nothing about me trying to impersonate a cup like i said i've had the badge on me for almost four and a half five years so that's where we're at and you know i never in the five years i've never done that it's always been on my on my overhead visor so uh and you know even me having it i drive a truck so you know she gave it to me as a computer that my dolphin games down there when i used to live down so you know she's like oh if you ever get in trouble just use this and you know it usually gets you out like i've only had to use it once or twice the most once with you guys in here uh going to work and then that was really it okay and who was who was the one i gave it to you her name was danielle i tried calling her as soon as i got done talking to you but her phone is locked they have is that like a family program like where you can hand out an honorary badge where it says like does it say like family member it says broward county share and it's a straight up straight up batch yeah and they're allowed to do that over there apparently they are because she when she gave it to me uh she uh she told me that they don't have because i she told me they don't have like friends and family badges yeah so because i know there's like many replica ones yeah but no she she like gave me an official one okay because i know some agencies um do like they give out like an honorary one and we'll say like family member um something like that like an honorary thing okay so um okay have you been having problems with anybody else's dogs around here or were you just there was that particular dog in this no there's no issues with it it was it was the issue the dog always getting loose i was more i loved animals so i was more concerned about the dog getting hurt than when i drove down rental park boulevard it was in the middle of the street yeah so then i made i was on a rush to get here to handle something but then i made the judgment call making you turn and see if the dog was all right as i was pulling up i happened to see the owner uh getting it there was an issue with another german shepherd a couple houses down but that's the result okay so okay so you're saying though that no time that you said that you were a police officer he asked me he asked me and i did say yes and i should have said no and then did you before he asked you did you show him the badge before he asked you or did you show him after i pulled when when i told him next time i'm gonna or he said are you gonna report it and i he when he said are you gonna report it and then i pulled the badge and then he asked me and then i said yes so you pulled the badge and then he asked if you reverse he asked me are you gonna report go ahead and report it because i told him that next time i see the dog loose yeah yeah yeah and yes that's when i i pulled the badge off my visor and i was like okay and then he asked me i said yeah and i said don't have the dog loose and then i went on my way did you threaten to kill the dog at all oh absolutely okay okay the dog has been down in my house down this way before i would never threaten i have two dogs on my own one that i'm spending thousands just to keep alive right now i would never threaten to kill a dog never okay if that came up that's absolutely 100 percent false i'm being 100 honest with you i'm telling you exactly what happened you know so your story i mean like almost like almost spot on there's only one one discrepancy or whatever that you know could have been misinterpreted or whatever but basically your story almost matches his story spot-on i knew i was wrong as soon as i did it yeah i was gonna go to the lake no no i was gonna go to the lake no no field office and report myself for doing this because once i get in touch with danielle i already know she's going to ditch me out and i'm more concerned about that more than anything and what um there is a firearm inside of it oh just stay seated stay seated well i'm just unlocking it where's the truck back here back on the driver's side what's daniel's last name danielle you don't mind if he gets go gets it wolf and she's with uh broward county sheriff broward you said it was about four years ago yeah okay perfect uh sorry just went to the back just to go look at the badges [Music] so where do you work daniel which publix i work in distribution how long have you worked on the hazel team i used to work at that one now i work at the pharmacy distribution off of a rocket court near uh tradeport drive okay good i don't know [Music] can i get up um i'll walk through the house there's nothing in there no just try to try to try to unlock it one more time is it open now okay all right just have a seat again he got it thank you i really appreciate your cooperation daniel um let's have a seat for us i mean it takes a lot of a lot of courage to admit you know and do what you're doing it's not courage it's just more of i'm not going to sit there and lie well i mean you'd be surprised though i mean it it's it is part courage because most people want to deny it or refuse and or make something up and aren't accountable for their actions and it takes some courage to be able to stand up and be accountable for your actions got no numbers or anything on it but i'm just going to call them real quick [Music] [Applause] let me call uh they call drew thomas or george carbonell first real quick okay let's see if uh cassie that's him what you need did donny tell you what happened yeah that's one normally that's like honorary but there's something on it but there's nothing on this one well he admitted to it oh yeah she just gave it to me which i kind of find interesting but i can make some phone calls all right just give us a moment daniel okay i'm just going to be on teletub for a minute is our uh our medium temperature uh most likely yeah okay sorry just wants to uh just check make sure hey are you working hey listen i made a mistake diane wilson there was an issue with with a neighbor on the street that lost a dog and you know there was little word set between him and i and i told him next time uh the issue happens i'm going to report it and i don't know why but for some reason i went on my sun visor and grabbed the badge that you gave me and he asked if he asked if i was a police officer and i said yes i i don't know why i said it i know i know danielle but opd is here do you want to speak with her officer um maybe possibly just uh give us a minute all right well as long as she can uh have her phone accessible all right i don't daniel i don't know i've never done that before i don't know why i did it i know i can't do that i don't know why i did it then though are you are you working right now all right well they uh the sergeant is doing something you may want to talk to before something happens with me so the reason why i didn't want to talk to her is because i mean not saying that you've been very straightforward and you've been honest and you know up to this point but there's really no way to verify that that's fine i mean it's like i could call my you could call somebody a friend of yours and be like hey listen to me i told you but trust me we're going to do it i'm sure she can give you the info where you need to go ahead and validate it because i don't if that that was given to me from a broward county sheriff deputy 100 she's one of my best friends from down there we did it a little bit but then we decided it wasn't wasn't going to work so we became very close friends yeah so i respect that i mean i trust me i mean you're you being cooperative like you are i'm going to do everything we can to to try to help you out as best as possible i'm assuming this is a restable effect you can be honest with me i'm not going to get mad what do you what do you think it is absolutely 100 i mean it's it's pretty serious when somebody you know you hear the stories about people decking out their cars yeah and you know trying to do traffic stops and you know so kilo 27 alpha tally daniel have you ever been arrested for anything yeah mostly driving suspended license but that was that was over 10 11 years ago i haven't been your license is good now though all right once i i was in a traffic defender at one point and once i got arrested last night oh no 12 years ago excuse me about 12 years ago but no nothing since uh i was a habitual okay how many tattoos you got just the ones you see in my two elbows you say you do the pharmacy distribution stuff yes that like the medications and everything yes sir do you have to have any type of like background checks or anything regularly for that yeah the dea has to be a fbi has to clear you and they do every four months they take you in for a drug test i was always curious how that worked in the on that side of the thing yeah you have to get cleared by the dea and fbi they run a full background it has to be clear by federal government yeah be the wrong person to have in there and some probably pretty powerful stuff back there yeah but not everyone has access to that stuff that stuff is kept in like a like you know uh us by like a heavy vault like okay and there's cameras everywhere so i mean it's pretty hard to do anything there's 24 7 security why don't even when we're closed there's a distribution center over here they've always got people on there correct but this that one is labeled as a publix warehouse this one isn't it's like an incognito mode oh okay so you couldn't even i mean public records show it is because it used to be a toys r us warehouse but they they converted into a publix warehouse uh yeah the sergeant has it i don't know i wouldn't be surprised if i get arrested it's not it's all my fault i don't i don't know it's all i said when he asked me all i did was say yes and that's all that happened and then i drove off [Music] there's one behind me in one apartment [Music] all right our sergeant's making notifications or whatever just finding out getting some info yeah you know like things there's a lot of red tape that published on something there's a ton of rotate for us actually if we have to go through a chain sometimes that chain takes a lot longer to get through them that's fine other days so your tattoos have any like symbolic meetings with them no they know some numbers and stuff on them it's just the birthday of my father on the right wrist appreciate you hanging out i don't have a choice to bring me some water no that's fine okay how do you set that doorbell ringer up is that to connect to your internet mm-hmm this goes right to your phone yeah as soon as i uh left the barber and i saw someone was at my door i already know i already knew it was y'all i was like son of a i didn't even get the out because my like i told you i was gonna go to lake nona after i left the radiology because i needed something on my thyroids uh i was gonna come to y'all because i as soon as i as soon as i did it i already knew i made a mistake just me saying one word i knew could get me in a shitload of trouble so oh i was gonna go but thank you well i see a couple more sprinkles stay away sprinkles the thing is i left my wipers on my car running so i won't have any uh visibility issues you need to pray for some running because it will end up happening just wear all your rubble away [Laughter] [Music] [Music] all right daniel this is what's going on this is your license your cwp and i'm saying this strictly because you've been so cooperative and if you had not did what you did as far as like owning up to everything and saying hey you know what i screwed up whatever that's why you're not in the back of my car and that's why you're not going to jail today okay um but the i am doing a report i am doing an after day but it is getting sent to the state of florida where the attorney's office will look at it they may decide to pick up charges on it and at that time then okay you could be subject to arrest okay um but i really do appreciate your cooperation and i said it it takes a lot for a guy to you know own it because you'd be surprised you may think that it's just normal because that's how you are but you can ask my partner you can ask me we deal with grown men all the time growing adults that won't take responsibility they won't you know hold themselves accountable they make excuses and they don't have the courage to be able to own it and be like you know what i screwed up i made a mistake and i need to just do what i need to do to make it right and so um as far as the badge that's going with me and that's gonna be put in evidence um my sergeant that was here contacted uh broward county and verified and you weren't supposed to have that badge okay she was not basically and that's not your fault but it was not your friends to give okay if that makes sense okay okay you guys were able to validate that she was a deputy yeah okay yeah so but the badge is gonna be i'm taking that putting in evidence and that uh so you won't get that back but do you have any questions no sir um i can't tell you how long or what you what you'll hear but with you know but just so you know it's out there um learning experience so um if you don't have any questions you're was this validated for i'm just curious oh it was just uh because you had mentioned that uh you were habitual and a habitual used to be a felony oh no i'm back in the day they just so what happened was when i went i was just before the borderline of a when uh i did get when i did get this they did fight me on it because uh through the state attorney's office for some reason my last arrest in 2006 they stated am i allowed to stand up now yeah they didn't say that like the last time i was what happened was i just kept driving on a suspended license i didn't give a back in the day yeah but no i was never once i realized i spent two two and a half weeks in county jail down there i said enough's enough so i hired an attorney went to probation and that was the last time i got arrested open and that's the last time i've really been in trouble until today so no and i i relayed that to my sergeant and i said hey because we asked about your background and i said oh he had some you know some traffic stuff or whatever about 10 years ago or whatever but he's turned his stuff around and and uh he hasn't had any issues since so he's got a steady job and i said but the main thing was that your cooperation i mean so you take care okay thank you thank you guys you too all right [Music] you
