I use cash up to buy. Um I sent him the money. He act like he didn't get it. Cash up act money all the time. I have the guy that um I believe um he met up with I'm not a bad kid at all. At this point you was prosecuted. Oh yeah. I apologize. In May 2022, the Dunwy Police Department received a report. A young man had his PlayStation 5 stolen from him in the parking lot of a Best Buy store in Dunwoody, Georgia. He had met with another individual through Facebook Marketplace to sell the gaming console. However, the supposed buyer took off with the PS5 after claiming to have sent payment via Cash App. The victim quickly reported the incident to the police, providing them with a detailed description of the thief and the license plate number. Fast forward to May 26th when the diligent officers of the Dunwy Police Department spotted a vehicle matching the description of the one involved in the theft. This one is going to be 41. 41. 41. Heat. Heat. Got the heat. Another guy shoot Oh, also not. The driver, fitting the suspect's description, was promptly detained and questioned. In the back of your car, okay, carrying through. I'm a good kid, guys. have to see here. Like I said, you're not under arrest at this point. Yes, sir. But uh I'm going to ask you a few things. I'm going to read I'm going to read you stuff so you don't incriminate yourself. Yeah. Yes, sir. All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against initially feigning ignorance. The suspect eventually admitted to the transaction claiming a glitch in the cash app system. You can decide anytime to exercise these rights and not answer any questions statements. Yes, sir. Um being said that, do you wish to answer any questions? Yes, sir. So, you have were you done Woody last week? Um, I don't remember. Just think hard about it because we have plate readers everywhere. Um, maybe. Yeah, maybe. I mean, I I'd be everywhere. Okay. Um, did you meet up with anybody in Dun Woody to buy something? Um, yes sir. What What What was that thing? Uh, probably maybe I get shoes. I buy shoes. about getting PS5, something like that. Okay. Is there any anything in particular where you would have used a uh application to to purchase it? Like I mean like a you know there's zel, there's cash app, there's Yeah, Cash App. Yes, sir. Okay. Um did you use that to buy something in Dun? Yeah, I use I Yeah, I use Cash App to buy everything. Anything in particular? Like what what what's the one thing that you buy? I only buy shoes and PlayStation 5, stuff like that. So I I'm not going to lie to you guys. That's the only thing I buy. Okay. Okay. All right. Is the PlayStation that's in the back of your car still in that box? Yeah. Okay. Is there any other PlayStation that you've recently purchased? That's why I asked you about Dumb Woody. Is there a PlayStation? Oh, no. I just I So, I meet up with people and I buy those files and I just resell them. Okay. I don't steal them. I don't do I don't do anything like that. So there was you're saying you didn't meet up with anybody at the Best Buy sir. I I told you I meet up with people. Yes sir. I meet up with people and buy buy stations. Okay. And was there a particular one where you were going to buy one for couple$100? Yeah. Send him the money on cash out. Yeah. And then what happened with that? Um I sent him the money. He acted like he didn't get it. I showed him the payment and once he just kept like bro I didn't get it. I'm like, "Bro, it says on my on my phone that you got it. It says pending, but it's waiting for I don't know what it's waiting for. Catch up." Acts funny all the time. And once he kept back, I said, "Bro, I'm going to pull over here." And I said, "Bro, I'm going to leave." I didn't know what was going to go on. I didn't I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't harm him or say anything towards him, anything like that. So, I honestly don't even you know what I'm saying? Okay. Well, you I know what I was told. So that's why I'm asking you now because what I was told then is that with your phone, you had it set a certain way to where no matter what you did on it, it wasn't going to go through. No, I just so I can see my phone. So was your phone in airplane mode or wasn't it at the time of making that transaction? No, it was not. Bro, it sent. It sent. So that's why I'm looking at my account like you feel me? What What is going on? So that's why I'm in my head I'm thinking my money is [ __ ] and it's going out of my account. So I'm not going to continue sitting around. Is there a reason that your profile on Facebook would have been would have had a different name or or that that all of a sudden the person trying to buy couldn't contact you and that you were there instantly blocked? Um well the guy kept calling me. I gave him my number. The guy kept calling me. I'm just like what's going on? Uh I don't know sir. I don't know. Okay. What? If I did it and if like I said, if you didn't, bro, there's a cuz it's a file right there. He can get, bro. It's there's no problem. Um, you know what I'm saying? I'm not a Is that PlayStation that you bought at the Best Buy in Dun? What? Is it still in the vehicle now or is it somewhere else? Um, that's that's one I recently just bought. You can I mean, you can have that one like like I said, if you That's not That's not the one. Oh, no sir. No, sir. If I mean sir like if I can if you can get them here or however they go sir I can give them one like I don't know if you got the payment or not. So I mean but I can call everybody up that I have got you know what I'm saying and they can tell you that my I'm I'm a a verified seller. Verified seller. All right. Well like I said based on the odor we're going to check the car just make sure. Is there anything else in the vehicle aside from the firearm? Um my fire um no sir. Okay. There's um a small amount of marijuana, maybe like less than a gram. Um I I Yeah, I haven't smoked it while driving or anything like that. Um just driving around just I'm not lying to you guys. Keeping the hell, you know, I'm not a criminal, not a bad kid. In your name? Okay. So, where where is the person that is supposed to be renting this vehicle? Um, because he lives right around the corner. I know who it's supposed to be cuz I talked to the person that actually owns this car that rents them out. Okay. And it's not you. So, if I talk to him and he said I he told he gave me the license number and everything of the person that's supposed to be renting this that lives right over here. And as far as he knows, that's who's renting it. No one else. Okay? Okay. So, if I tell him that someone else dropped me, what do you think he's going to say? Um, well, I I've been paying him, but I mean, it's fine. Um, he probably wouldn't Yeah, he probably he probably wouldn't notice me. It's it's it's definitely not rented to me. Um, so yeah. All right. Is that is that a crime there, though? Just driving a car that's, you know, it's not just exactly rented to you. Is that that a crime? Cuz I mean, I just steal a car or nothing like that. Not that as long as the other person is still doing what they're supposed to do. But it goes probably against whatever civil contract that the other guy signed because I'm sure just like any rental agreement with even the company the the rental company rented it to him not to anyone else. Yeah. Exactly. Because totally understandable. Yeah. I mean this it's like an agreement between me and you and I let him in on it and nobody knew about then if you crash or something and you're not the one that's provided some sort of alternate insurance or whatever and he did this going to look it's going to come back. Listen, I definitely understand what he does, right? So, just have a seat for me real quick and then I'm going to call I'm going to call that guy and see what he says and then we'll go from there. But like I said, could you um could you just let him know I'm the one that he's been talking to? Like that's fine. That means a lot cuz it does. Just let him know I'm the one who he's been talking to, the one who's been sending him everything. But everything is cool between me and the guy. Okay. Okay. Just like I said, sit back there for a second. A few things. 41 firearm Springfield. Okay. this morning. Yeah, he he didn't have he had it in a bag. He didn't have it in a box. He has a box at home and that's why I'm trying to figure out. So, I I believe that he is selling and buying, but I think it's under some sort of pretenses. He is selling. Look at this. Oh, yeah. You saw you saw the easy box in there like five easy box open. These are ugly though. Those are so ugly. What would it be? I don't know. So this wasn't the guy that lives over there. The officer called the victim and informed him that the individual matching the description had been pulled over in the same vehicle. He asked if the victim could come to confirm the suspect's identity. Although the victim was a bit far from the location, he agreed to come and identify the suspect. Hey, is this the officer with John Woody? I was the one who um took that report from the store PlayStation. Hey, I I have the guy that um I believe um he met up with. He's So he has the piercing, all the tattoos. He had red hair and braids and and dreads. Is that does that sound correct from what you were telling me? Okay. Yeah, he's got tattoos all over. Um he's got the piercing under his cheek. So he he apparently buys and sells a bunch of stuff. He's got a PlayStation box here. Um and uh he's claiming that he he this is what he's claiming. He claimed he paid. We went through and then you never you weren't getting me. Okay. All right. Cuz I'm uh Where are you now? Um yeah, we're over here in Chamberlain, just over the line off Seo North Street. So, um how long do you think it would be? Yeah, we won't we can't hold him that long. I've got I've got him here. So, you never got the payment correct? Okay. And you said he he gave you his name is Jacobe. Okay. Um and it was 625 bucks that he was supposed to Oh, right. Yeah. I got him stopped here in that same car, the white Mercedes. So, uh, let me Okay. Um, yeah, let me, uh, uh, let me just, let me call you back here in a few minutes cuz I want to double check the PlayStation that is in this box and see if it's yours or not. It's got It looks like it's Yeah. Yeah. That's why that's why Yeah, that's why I don't think it is cuz it's kind of sealed on one side, but you never know. So, cuz the box is all torn up on the other side. All right. All right. All right. Want to come here, but he's far away. Um, obviously this thing's been open before, right? No, cuz it's sealed up there, but this is all that's facing tape. Yeah, that's not that's real. Yeah. So, I'm trying to figure out where they resealed it from. They open it on the bottom. Yeah, it was open from the bottom. Yeah. What do you think it is? I mean, that's him, but uh don't know if the PlayStation is the same one. And they show is a place that you want to show it or Well, the thing is is that without uh positive ID on this guy and everything else, um I'm certain it's him because this is from this is from a transaction that occurred through marketplace. Oh, okay. And he was supposed to pay him a cash app. He's claiming that it the transaction never through. And then he's saying he's trying to say that it did, but yet he sped off real quick after he had the PlayStation in his hand and uh claimed that, you know, it went this guy said that his phone was in airplane mode, so he already had his phone set up to where it wasn't going to go up. It wasn't going to go. You don't I might have one in my car, but you don't have a little another little baggie to put this in. Yeah. Because it's not ti It's not actually tied. The officer went into a vehicle to complete some paperwork and informed him that his driver's license was suspended. I mean, I'm not a bad kid, sir. What's that? I said I'm not a bad kid at all, man. No, no. Sit tight. All right. Yes, sir. How you doing, buddy? Your license suspended? It is. That's what I'm being told. Are you serious? That's what I'm being told. Did you have a fairy to appear somewhere? Sir, I ain't going I ain't going to lie. I haven't owned a car in a little minute. So, when I just got I didn't I didn't know anything about this. The fair appear probably from from years ago. Like literally, I don't do anything wrong. How long does how long has it been suspended? I'll find out here shortly. Wow. Sir, that's that stuff that stuff in that car is mine, sir. Huh? Yeah. All everything in there is mine. It's my It's like I call it my mini store. Okay. Yeah. Everything in there is mine, sir. It's been suspended since July. July of when last year. Yep. What? I haven't even drove since then. So, I mean, records would show that if I got pulled over and been told my license has been suspended. So, I haven't I haven't drove since then. Like, literally, mostly because I've been on crutches. I have a um I broke my f my uh fibian tibia. So, I haven't really been able to drive anyway like that. So, I've been having a boot on. So, I honestly didn't even know my license was suspended. Are you still in conjurs? Yes, sir. Is there any way somebody come pick my stuff up? I mean, am I Did I break any law other than driving with no license? Do you have any felonies? Uh, no. It should have been expuned. It was a minute ago. It was I said it was a minute ago. It I don't even think it's a felony. Um, I got what, two years probation, but I'll use my first offenders. I was only like 18, 19, something like that. Okay. But it's nothing big like no crazy crazy charges, anything like that. My name's also been cleared also. Um, I think I got everything exponed also. You know, one second. The suspect was then formally arrested and placed in the backseat of the vehicle. out for me. Would you say that one more time, sir? Face this way for me. It's going to be under arrest at this point. Charing under suspension possession less than an ounce and also by taking for the PlayStation 5. You know, you don't have it on you. Um, sir. Okay. Okay. I wanted to say that 2005, like I said before, I thought I sent the payment. I did send the payment. I show him. He saw he said, "Let me see the um let me see the the screen." I showed him the screen, sir. And I'm thinking I'm getting played like he called his girl everything. They act like they didn't get the money. But they didn't get the money, so you can get that station right there. This is the train station that I just bought. You know what I'm saying? So, I didn't know that or not. I thought I was over. I thought I was forgot. So, that's why I said everything else in here, sir, is bought. I have tracking numbers for my clothes. It's my business, my shoes, my purses, everything. And I have tracking numbers. Can I have somebody come pick that stuff up? That's fine. Cuz like I said, I'm not a bad kid. I have a whole business here. The pro the problem I'm having is that the car is registered to somebody else. So, I can't prove what is what is someone else's and what is yours. Okay. Can I If if the car is registered to you and everything matched up, it'd be different. Is it somebody else? Sir, my phone is in the car. I I have tracking numbers where I purchased this stuff. So, where I purchased this stuff. It's not that you're going to be able to get it. It's got to stay with the car because the car belongs to somebody else. Okay. So, so it's going to be inventoried and then it's going to go get impounded to a secure lot and then you can work with whoever you need to or the owner, the person that legitimately rented it and to get the stuff out. That's how that's going to work. Your phone can go with you cuz we can prove that's yours. The other stuff we can't prove that's yours. Okay. Until we can, you can't take it with you. Okay, that's fine, sir. Is it okay? So, could you guys give me one rundown? I just need a little rundown cuz like I said, I'm not a back kid. So, could you guys give me a rundown cut? Okay, I need one request. Could you guys could I get a small call right quick? Two, could I um could you guys tell me what my charges are once again? I'll bring in a suspension cuz you have spent license possession cuz you have a little bit of weed. Normally be a ticket, but because you have other charges. Okay. Can I ask you a question? Okay. The weed, sir. I mean I mean it is it's a little sudden not even I mean whether you admit it or not I mean you can smell it as soon as we correct correct but these are these are the suspended license and the we those are obvious just citations but since you had the other thing going on with the PlayStation it's going to go wrong because of that so what does that mean any other time if he would have stopped you any other time without that PlayStation but what does that mean sir that's not the that's not his play that we know your car we know the car was stolen we Oh, you were involved in it. That's why that goes on warrants. If it was just What do you mean warrants? That's why it's a theft by taking not receiving. If that was the PlayStation, theft by receiving, but because everything matches up and uh based on the actual incident, okay, could I get him? Could I get him the exact one back? Would that fine? Like, I'm not trying to be [ __ ] guys. You know, um if you can, that might help you in court, but right now right now, we got to go. We got to go. So, this is this a felony charge? Yes. Yes. Is it a crazy felony charge? It's just over the limit by taking felony amount. So I mean you went over you went over the it's $500. Anything under $500 is a misdemeanor. But once you get over $500, it's felony. So this is a felony. Yes. Yeah. You sold it for sold for Okay. So explain one more thing to me guys. What what is the time for this? I don't know. That's like possibly what what have you guys felonies are punishable by a minimum of a year and up to whatever whereas misdemeanor are punishable by no more than a year. So that's if there's a conviction. This is just an accusation. This is a charge. It's not it's not we're not the court. My phone is in there. We're going to get the phone. Get the phone. Is there anything else that's clearly yours that would be in the car that you need to get out? Is it okay if you walk me over there? I don't We can't do that. But is there anything else I got to find them? It's clearly yours that would either have your name on it or that it wouldn't be anyone else's. Um, okay. So, look, how do you guys do the car thing? Do you guys have the guy number? Uh, well, he's going to be listed as the person that owns it on the impound. So, he would be the one that would have to go get it at impound. Okay. He's already not going to be happy that somebody other than Blue is driving it. Yeah, I know. All right, that's fine. All right. Have a seat for me and I'll put the seat belt on you and but yeah, those are going to be the three charges. You guys, so you guys don't know how serious this is. No, that's for the court. That's for the court to decide. We we determine the charges, but we don't determine one more thing. Like I said, I'm not a bad kid. Do I do I have to do I have to have my hands behind my back like a a real That's our policy. Our policy and not so much a jail, but our policy says anyone unless there's some exit circumstance where like they're one ararmed or they have some like a rotator cuff thing. So there's nothing wrong anything my firearm I didn't do anything wrong with that. Everything is okay. Like I said, I haven't tried to run to see if you have any convictions that are felonies. But that would be the only thing that would prohibit you from having that or make that another charge is if you were a felon in possession of a firearm. Yeah. Other than that, there's nothing illegal. Let me ask you a question. I went to a I went to a um I went to a pawn shop to try to get a firearm a minute ago before I got that one and my name came back clear. That's everything's good. Right. Right. So they they they will be able to tell if if I couldn't get a firearm. Correct. They should that because I went to multiple multiple and they they should my biggest concern is the PlayStation at this point because that's that's ultimately why the car was so so look if there's anything I could do right like can the could the guy hold on one second one second the victim arrived and informed the officers that he wished to press charges he positively identified the suspect as the one who stole his PlayStation 5 is the victim Oh, that's good. Yeah. So, he um I have him in the back of the car. I don't know how you want to do this because he's I don't want him to He's already dealt with him face to face. So, it's up to you what he thinks best that to have money. I can He wants to prosecute. Oh, yeah. He doesn't have your left PlayStation, but he's, you know, he's not he's not denying that you guys met up over there and that he But he's saying he gave me he's he's claiming he gave you the 625. He said it went he said he went through and all this, but he's won't speak on the whole, you know, leaving real quick and whatever the case may be. So, so and it never went through, right? still like mom first he I already know it's how I know it went through cuz he was on airplane mode on cash you can't send his money to cash out and then it says confirm but he was holding his finger over the over the the um the cancel flight so I'm like just click um fuel status or whatever and see what happened he didn't want to do it so I guess once I said that that he was like oh let me let me go park right here the car right there car real quick and then as I turn around he just went as far Like I say, if you would have gave me a payment, I never would have told him to believe it. Like I said, I haven't stopped you. He's already detained. So he's going regardless. So I can reopen the door. He'll have a problem. Just he's already seen. It's not really like a He's in the back of the car detained. Host. So if you want to take a look just to confirm 100% that he's the same he's the same person. Spontaneous. I already know. I already look at Well, it it helps. It helps just to have the positive positive ID because I know and you know, but if you can lay eyes on them and say 100% that this person right now is the same person that you see him trying to do a show. Yeah. I mean he's already he's already totally charged. I was I can't show up. He wants you to do a show after. No, I was going to have him give a positive idea. So, he doesn't mind him seeing him. Okay. So, despite the suspect's apologies and offers of money and a new PS5 to drop the charges, it was too late for such negotiations. What's up, man? Hey, look. I I apologize, man. I thought I sent you payment, but I have another PlayStation I just bought, bro. You can't mine or money, bro. I'll give you that one plus some money, bro. If you just, you feel me? I'll give you that plus some money right now. No problem. Cuz I'm, like I said, I'm not a bad person, bro. You feel me? I'll give you that plus some money, bro. Hey, if you could just I mean, I would do it. They said it's not an option. Oh, that's not an option. You've already got the other stuff going on, too. What other Oh, that I mean I know, sir. I know I'm go, but is that is that fine if I just do that? I mean, is that less a charge? I mean, cuz we're discussing it right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, if I I know that I know, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm I'm willing to bargain with you, bro. I'm going give you a whole new station. Nothing. It's I know that one is still in there, dude. Bro, it's No, it's definitely not, bro. I can show you I can show you where I purchased it. I can show them. I give him some money, bro. If this can just You feel me? He's proposing back doors. Back doors open. Good to go. Definitely with him making those comments. spontaneous by taking felony possession unless So, I guess you just go out with a bad ch uh accommodation, man. Yeah, exactly. What was that? I said, is that okay? Would that be up up to the guy? I mean, I can I can compensate him, sir, for the for the misconven. Unfortunately, his biggest concern is he doesn't he doesn't want to run the risk of it happening again with either a payment getting redacted or that he's given handed a a PlayStation that's stolen from someone else and now he's in possession of something stolen. Okay. Well, ask him ask him what does he want? Could you tell me one thing? He wants his back. I mean, he want to do the inventory on it? Uh, I don't think so. I've been busy with this. At this point, honestly, you just have to wait for court and hash it out there. And if he wants to drop the charges, then he can do that. Um, and or if the prosecution deems, sir, is there any is there any way, sir? I just Is your one-year-old child? Is there any way, sir, that I can compensate him, get him to, you know what I'm saying, to just, you know, I can compensate him and then, you know, the license in the marijuana to deal with that. So there's no way sir or not I can compensate him where where he he's it's okay and then I can just we can deal with the license and the marijuana different. Not at this time. That's something that the court would have to work on. I mean but this is like any other dispute sir. Like you know if you pull up to a house and two having a discrepancy or something we just can we just talk now sir I'm begging you sir I'm begging please stop are these are these mad charges sir no are you sure yeah I mean I I want to tell you different I mean the the theft one is the the worst one just because of it's a felony. He was charged with possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce driving while license suspended and theft by taking and transported to DAB County Jail. So, are you sure none of these charges are really, really crazy serious, man? Yep. Help me out. Down. Tell you man, I know you know how serious this is. So I give you like a little like I said I mean it's uh the worst part is the the theft. So I didn't even stand right here.
