running I mean I don't know what the whole plan was well that wasn't want to talk to me I already knew what that was well the whole reason your dad pulled into the driveways cuz you knew what why we were trying to stop you we tried to pull your dad over at the beginning of Palm Harbor and you intentionally went all the way to your driveway what do you mean I wasn't driving you told your dad okay never mind you guys both did not comply with Dad you see lights and siren there what do you normally do for that I don't know I wasn't driving how you well if I told him to jump off a bridge is he going to do it no I'm not I'm not blaming you for what your dad did I'm just trying to you seem confused as though why we're here i' like to make sense of that how did we end up covered in water at a sheriff's vehicle I don't know you wanted to talk I didn't want to listen now whatever now we get a chance to talk hey I'm sorry I ran it's my fault I'm sorry I [ __ ] up I shouldn't have done it I should have just Len obviously this isn't the ideal circumstances for me how I wanted to talk to you but you still get a chance to get your side of the story so what happened today I went over to Kevin's house ask him for a ride to the loow to get lber okay I walk in on KN H door he said he's watching the game said tomorrow okay came home told Granddad he told he was going to go to loow okay he's getting ready to walk into the house tell my wife I'm going to Low's she get bum with Granddad says okay I'll walk out head him out in the front yard talking to Granddad yeah saying that I sold saying that I was smoking in Newport I show him in the cigarette I was like what you I'm not smoking in P okay he said that I took a pack of cigarettes from him and I I was like I have my own cigarettes Kevin why would I take the cigarettes okay right so makes sense he all that goes back to his house and then he's going off them [ __ ] stole cigarettes blah blah blah so I went over to talk to him about cuz me and him had confli P but you know the other day he gave my kids a bag of candy I don't know why it kind of pissed me off but I didn't I ain't trying to have no conflict didn't say nothing to him yeah he came over accusing me of smoking a pack taking a pack of cigarettes when I went to asking for ride the load got you I was like I had no reason to steal your cigarettes have my own cigarettes and then he was walking back to his house and when he you know saying all that saying that I stole cigarettes on all right I got piss me off so I confront him about the bag of candy when I confront him about not giving my kids candy or talking to my children he came at me okay and we got into a scuffle how did he these guys are going to check you out make sure you don't have any injuries I want to understand how he came out you all that but it's important that you get your medical attention so let these guys ask you the questions they got to ask in all that anything on you that's going to poke me stick me stabing actually that key I think I have Grandad's key in my paret go how did Kevin attack you how did he come out you he just came at me like threatening like he just came like like where was this at like aggressive like garage Street driveway I was that his driveway yes and then whenever he started saying whatever coming aggressively towards me he started to put his hands up and yeah I just of course I'm what I me so you're saying you felt threatened CU his hands came off yes I felt threatened so his hands came off only reason I did that I didn't I didn't I didn't go confront him whenever he his hands come up like this like like this or like just fist something aggressively came at me and I seen his hand start to go up and I just his head to the side like shoulder remember I'm not I don't remember detail all right so you felt like he was about to get at you what like he was about to hit you he was okay yes he came at me agressively I S back up I started to left I started to back up and leave and then he we just started going out and did you were you able to stop him from hitting you or did you get hit we both got hit where were you hit in the head I mean like where in your head I don't remember he hit me several time he hit me a couple times in the back of the head in the jaw and neck like I mean all right um can you like PL flat your hand out so I can see your hand all the Rocks hit your middle Knuckles the Rocks you got cuts on the the the bottom of your finger from the Rocks yeah but yeah same with these I mean what let me see I didn't see this that was coming with concrete cuz me and him both fell down on the ground just like my KN me and him both hit the ground I mean he just aggressively came at me and we both went at it he hit me several times and we both just separated I got in the car with my Grandad and that was it any marks in your head is there any reason why you don't have too many Cuts or scrapes on your face and he's covered in blood what do you mean covered in blood exactly how it sounds he's covered in blood he's got blood all over his face his knees his hands I so it off my no budy my KN bud could you pull your right hand out to the side that's perfect your left hand all right so I still never got a clear answer why why run you have Stu because I mean I was obviously [ __ ] going to jail not being call him 10 anybody call him 10 15 not asking for my story I was obviously going to jail I mean why' you think you going to jail because I know whenever an officer wants to come and talk and get my side of the story he's going to show up to the house and talk he's not going to have three cops waiting and blue light me to talk I mean come on so you just off just because you were getting stopped in your history of police you figured the best idea was to just run no it wasn't the best idea it wasn't smart idea inally sit in the middle it was very stupid on my part yes dumb for running and yes I did and it was not a good decision it was very stupid and I think I think the dad's 10:15 too I think that's what he means all right all right come on mcra was arrested for burglary of a dwelling occupied and unarmed simple battery petite theft and resisting an officer without violence mcra is being held on $32,500 bond Jones was placed under arrest for resisting an officer without violence and was released after after posting $500 Bond yeah absolutely I told you were absolutely it put your hands behind your back drop the cup drop the cup when there's 100 police cars behind you and you
