meet T there first off well I got back down here I would say y day last night went over there I mean that's when we was talking or whatever talking about what I'm just talk but it was just like we was talking the next thing you know we just I drove him to this lot and then that's when that happened so you drove him to this lot all right so when you drove to the lot what what what did you do s in the bo no I understand that when you got here where' you go first where where did he get out of the car where did where did all that happen in the front the lot the fr the laot okay um what was the conversation like in the car what what did he plan what did he tell you he was going to do and what did he want you to do I mean I was really just my driver right what was he telling you I mean if you just driving that's fine but I'm sure he was kind of telling you what his plan was you know I mean what hey you stay here I want to go do this this and this and I'll meet you over here that's part of being the driver you know yeah but I mean I told my lot I mean really I had a lot going on so I told I remember when I told him I said okay I sent a lot then boom boom boom I was on phone what what was the purpose of you sitting in the lot after you dropped him off I mean just in case he came back to the car that was it so you didn't plan on him coming back to the car I didn't know that's part of the just in case right yeah how much was he going to pay you I mean I was getting paid you were not getting paid nothing I know so did what did Tay say yall were going to the lot to do I me handle B but can't you be more specific besides handle business did he have the car already picked out or did he go on the website or anything like that did you guys do a drive through the dealership and him say I want that car and then that's all he even get I mean I just Road P him looking at them cars and then I remember we talked about how that was the same car and then that's went there and he went to look at it so was today the second time you were there that was first time first time why did you do it I'm just trying to figure out why he's not paying you I mean you're you're driving around in a stolen car picking up some guy you met on Facebook and then you're going to go steal another car so trying to figure out what and you told me you were getting paid for it I can understand that so now I'm confused but I mean it's not no confusing I really wasn't driving the car around by myself I drove in it met him there so met him cin house oh your cousin's house so that's when so did you already have the Camaro or did Tay have the Camaro he had the Camaro the Camaro was there the camar was at your cousin's house I drive a charge my car is out there your car is still at your cousin's house what do you drive a charge a charger or color white white charger everything on mine good did you tell them you wanted to drive the Camaro is that why you drove sort of kind of basically why I drove it but I really was tired of driving my car anyway so you you didn't want to do this in your car so he he brought the car he got you to be the driver so that's why the car that's why you drove no cuz I mean I could have drove my car but I I didn't want to drive it I got tired to drive my car I've been driving I left Detroit went to North Carolina no left Detroit came back to Atlanta then went to North Carolina then came back here and your car is registered to you with North Carolina tags on it so did Tay say where he got the Camaro no okay so he already had it did you know that Camaro was stolen I mean I did but you did it's like there a lot of stuff out here that's happening I mean I was kind of like used to riding in the stolen car you're used to riding a stone car oh okay um sobody wasn't spe [Music] yeah all right oh is t regularly involved in so you're used to riding in stolen cars have you ever R in stolen car with Tay before this is North Carolina do you just mean in North Carolina right no I didn't meet him in North Carolina no no you mean in North Carolina oh okay um do you know if Taye does this regularly you know that much about him or I mean I know he works but where you work he used to work at his Warehouse doing what I just working with the paint the paint a paint Warehouse okay everybody but I go out yeah club stuff like that MH okay um year and a half do you know who any of these guys are why you have three different IDs in the car you seen these guys before mhm you even look I just know have my own IDE you haven't seen these before do you know the names you know I don't I have my own ID I asked if they were yours no I asked if you seen if you know who these guys are he had these you said in my car no no his car in his car no you never seen any of these guys before I do not know a lot of people down here Carina I know people down there what I said I'm not I don't know a lot of people down here I'm from North Carolina I know people down there you said used to stay here though right mhm okay okay so the conversation at your cousin's house between you and Tay went H went how how that that was like between he had business to handle what do you mean and I was just okay I drive what do you mean my business to handle take care of the business I on my drive wherever he had to go so you just voluntarily said I'll do it drive you where you need to go and you knew he was coming up here to steal another car to steal a car I guess but I didn't know when we got to realiz what it was so I think I got all right man well I uh just sit tight for a few minutes and somebody else com in GI in just a second okay you got anything else you want to add so you know like okay what's the next steps or like where jail is the next one you guys are both going to get charged with the stolen car possession a stolen car probably fire possessing firearm or Commission of a felony so do you know that's that was mine no I understand that but you're still committing a felony and you have a gun in your possession it don't matter it's yours does that make sense that's still that's still something um I I appreciate you talking with us um I at this point I'm just want to ask you do you have anything that I didn't cover that you want to make sure I know about no I just want to know like what was going on and stuff like that okay all right man well just sit tight really quick and we'll be right back okay heyan yes hey I'm sorry FR do me a favor man step back step back yep come on out you want to face that way but possible if you could my I pant or you just or all I'm leave you handcuffed up if that's all right okay hey do me a favor man there you go I was going to say hurt yourself we don't want make we don't want to make it awkward one more I'm going add my mom there all right good man that's what you should do is in this one this one is it under mom or some other name it should be mom should be M there's mama mama mama Erica ma there's no Mom I do context it's in context yeah I'm in context which one nothing with here's mama with the heart I'm on Wi-Fi when was that the last the 21st of January okay yeah that's the reason that's so it's m with the heart I know my all right the Camaro driver was charged with theft by taking theft by receiving stolen vehicle and possession of firearm during Commission of a felony the charger driver faced charges of theft by taking failure to maintain Lane reckless driving and theft by receiving stolen property both were transported to foresy County Jail hey Trump he's got one question for you yeah I'm remember oh my God I know the first one was the B and [Music] stuff so the firearm just because it was like possession on me but it was in it's in my name so they still well it that n that matters you literally had it in the car you said it's in the driver's door you said it's your gun and you were committing a felony simple as that when you go up to perpetrate crimes and you decide to take a gun with him cuz you're doing shady [ __ ] Unfortunately they make crimes for that they make laws about that cuz see I probably would like all the time that's why I didn't know like you probably have it for your personal defense yeah that's that's why I got it but I didn't know like so here's what's really interesting right M you can own a gun but you can't you lose your right to to own guns when you're out perpetrating crimes like you know what I mean you can't choose to have legal gun ownership while committing felonies that right doesn't exist you merged the two you merged your American right to have guns mhm with the very illegal part of car theft so you can't do the you can't have both you can't both be a legal gun owner and a felon actively committing crimes when you try and merge them together it is actually a sentence enhancer it makes it a much stiffer stiffer p penalty when you commit crimes armed so that's anything else all right Ser Francis is going to give you a ride we'll have your paperwork waiting for you when you get down there Jin right jquan let's go thank you sir
