I get where you're going. >> On September the 15th, 2024, police officers rushed to break up a heated brawl at a well-known hangout where chaos was already spilling over. At first, it looked like just another fight, but among the crowd was someone who knew better, could have acted better, and whose career in the law enforcement was about to take a turn for the worse. Get out of my way. Excuse me. Sorry. Thank you. Relax. You like TO RELAX. Get out of here. You try to take the green. Stop. You want to charge against them or no? The officers pulled them away from the heated scene to get their side of what had happened and how it unfolded, unaware that this Sunday morning was only just beginning to turn ugly, especially for one fellow officer.

Request an additional unit. traffic. >> Every time Kayla and her daughter saw the victim, they hurled curses and threats his way. But what they didn't realize was that their actions had already left the victim's wife unconscious, only making their situation far worse. But drunk, angry people rarely stopped to think, especially when they believed that they were untouchable. You talking, bro? No, no, no. You guys don't even get enough. No, no, no. At this point, we got We got to report in your pocket. Listen, listen. At this at this point, come here. At this point, they told us that you had a knife. >> Listen, listen. That's what >> Check me. That's what we're doing. At this point, just cooperate with us. He was mad because my daughter was pissed off. I get their pissed off. It's very back and forth, man. I'm going to check out. >> That's all it is. >> I don't check. We're checking. >> That's a snap guy. Of course, he's going to attack the dude that's going to attack us. >> All right.

Here's here's my congressional. >> Okay. >> In the middle of the chaos, the 25-year-old daughter slipped into the darkness with her boyfriend, leaving her unruly parents to face the consequences alone. Even though they had no idea what was about to hit them next to charges on >> I can't believe I was getting a piece. I didn't even know what's going on. He disrespected my daughter. He thought >> I don't know. When I came out, they were fighting. >> Okay. >> It's my daughter. And I see guys my daughter gets involved. >> He attacking jail. I'm attacking my back. It's my daughter. >> And where's your daughter at? She's inside with the other officers. >> Yeah. You all right, bro? >> I'm good, bro. >> You sure? >> Trust me, I'm good. You ain't giving that energy. You ain't giving up. >> You searched me already, too. But I ain't got no knife. I ain't got no knife on her. >> If you say you don't got no knife, you don't got no >> I don't. You said it, too. >> Okay. >> And I ain't want to hit his girl. His girl kept coming in my face. >> I didn't want to hit her. She kept attacking me. >> I didn't hit her after they hit her that I had to swing. I'm hitting girls and everybody. >> Oh, my daughter. She not She shouldn't even be in there cuz he's the one that attacked my daughter. >> What's your daughter wearing? Want me to ask her? >> Yeah. Please get her out of here. >> Yeah. The officers soon turned their attention to the man, and that was when things started falling into place in a way that threatened to derail a 10-year career as a correctional officer. >> So, again, I was in line. This girl came out and yelled at some other girls, right? >> About cutting the line, right? >> He looked at me. I said, "Bro, I'm not with them. I don't know." I said, "I already cut the line three or four times. I'm in my same spot. I keep going back cuz I know the owner." >> Okay, got it. >> I already know the manager. I said go back and forth over and over again. He said, "Oh, cool. Can't say nothing. It was over." Then another behind me, I'm at the line. I already paid my food. He didn't pay his though. So, I'm at the thing. He going to say, "Bro, you been talking crazy all you've been talking crazy all night." I said, "Who you talking to me, bro?" I said, "Bro, I didn't say nothing to you." He said, "Nah, you've been talking crazy." I said, "You talking about dude over there?" He was talking crazy wife cuz you just yelled at his girls about the line even though y'all was wrong. I said, "Bro, I ain't got no door." He was like, "All right." So, she was like, "Oh, I'm a cop and I'm this, and I'm that." I said, "Bro, nobody care about all that." >> That's what she said to the girls. So, the girls got mad, just walked out of line. He going to say, "Bro, you been talking crazy all night." I said, "Bro, say nothing to you." So, he said, "Come here, talk to you for a second." I said, "The guy in the green, >> the guy in the green." So, I go outside like, "Yo, you got you got a problem, a misunderstanding, whatever it is." I'm in line ahead of you. I already placed my order. I don't I don't walk back and forth already. Like, I'm been done already. So he going to pull out a knife. What it look like? >> The one green. It was a little little black knife. He uh he pulled it out right here. So my wife jumped up like, "Yo, what's going on?" I said, "Hold on, babe. Hold on. What the bro? What's your problem?" He said, "Nah, you talking crazy all night. What's up with you? What's up with you?" I said, "Bro, what the wrong with you? You drunk or something? Like what? I don't even know you, bro. What you talking about?" He like, "Nah." So his man at first with the black hoodie was trying to break it up. I said, "Boy, your man, he coming at me for no reason. I got nothing to do with that." He said, "Let it go. Let it go." I said, "Bro, there's nothing problem. The man bugging." >> So my wife jump in front of me. I'm grabbing him. Yo, chill out. Chill out. Chill out. He got a knife. He got a knife.

He had on his little his LITTLE HAND, HIS LITTLE POCKET. HE PULLED IT LIKE THIS LIKE BOOM. >> Did he put it back? >> I don't He had that whole W. He probably dropped it on the knock. Back outside, another officer spoke to Kayla's husband whose arrogance was through the roof and completely without any remorse. The fact that reality was about to correct quite quickly. >> God hit his girl after she hit her. >> Of course, she hit my daughter. He hit my daughter so hard. Bro, >> you can spare two people.

There were no signs of the daughter and her boyfriend, but that didn't slow the investigation. Kayla and her family thought they had covered all their bases, but they had made a critical mistake. Playing a game they had no business playing in a camera filled environment with so much at stake. >> We trying to look the video cuz we have so many different stories going on right now. But we have two that are involved and aren't even here now. So, we're trying to figure everything out. You know, you see anything? >> Yeah.

She just got transported. >> She hit the ground a couple times. >> We still have the guy outside in the green. >> They got her pinned up like holding her and [ __ ] Turn your cameras off, guys. You can't have your cameras on in here. >> As if that wasn't enough, another witness uploaded the video to X, where it quickly racked up views and drew a storm of criticism.

Cuz the way you >> I'm just saying to relax the whole time. >> You forgot I'm recording, too. The officers thought they had seen it all, but Kayla soon proved that she was fully all about that life, just like her daughter had said earlier. >> My daughter, she was out here and then she went inside to come after him cuz he's the one that hit her. >> Okay. >> All right. Where is she at? >> You talking about the one that was banged on the doors, right? >> My daughter with the black short she never came in. >> All right.

She came out. >> That's her stepdad. >> He said that when he came, she came outside, you know, going with the outfit she had on and he was like, "Damn, you look good, mommy."

I'm just transporting you down. >> The one who's doing is pretty fast though. >> It'll probably just be like an hour. We'll do the charges right away. >> Okay, you can have a cute outfit. Don't mean you got to disrespect the girl because of what she wear. She got her man. Like you don't disrespect because she got a cute body. I don't know what to do. Like I've never been in trouble in my life. >> So if it's a simple thing, it's literally going to be ticket. >> I know. I wish I did. >> It's literally It's literally a ticket. You have a court date on it. for. >> Even though there were overwhelming evidences stacked against Kayla and her unruly family, her next arrogancefueled act eventually led her down a labyrinth she could not escape. >> So listen to me. If you want to do the same thing, she going to do the same thing back to you. So you want to do it just so you press charges, but you're going to press charges on YouTube. >> You got the video. I didn't touch. Listen, listen, listen to me. If she say she want to press for simple. >> I didn't touch her. >> I didn't touch her. I got witnesses in the camera.

She probably had like like concussion >> and then so they punched in the face and then on top of that is the kicks in the head. She was on the ground. So one of them came over. Stay safe. I guess I got >> Yes. >> All three of them came home kicked in for no reason why everybody else told me back. They were kicking us for a reason. >> Because the thing is she does lose consciousness at the end of it. >> I'm like a regular I'm going to be PC probably like >> I'm so sorry. But um just relax.

Later, an anonymous tip revealed Kayla's daughter, Rehea, who was charged with aggravated Kayla faced aggravated and simple charges, while Panero was hit with multiple weapon and terroristic threat charges. Kayla was suspended without pay pending the case's outcome. Next up is Officer Chapman, a 15-year veteran whose fall from grace came over a petty $900 theft while on duty. >> Behind that receipt? Thank you. Oh, that's my money. He didn't have that. >> This is your money? >> Yes, I heard him crumble it up. Thank you. I I'm I'm going have to hold to your weapon real quick. Okay. >> Yep. I just want to apologize everyone I say, man. I one of these things, dude. >> And I'm I'm sorry. >> On March the 14th, 2024, a routine traffic stop involving a man with a federal warrant drew in Officer Chapman. What started as backup quickly turned into a career-defining moment he could never walk away from. Terrible. Hey man, come step out here real quick. I'm going to show you something. back here.

Left on his own, Chapman turned off his body cam and pocketed $900. A decision that would come back to haunt him. >> I'm going to count your money in front of you. Okay. >> Here's here's some big money. I'm going to put this in the in the bag for you. Okay. >> Yeah. Here. Here you go. >> I got you. >> Yes. He's coming right in. >> They're going to watch me.

One, two, three, four, >> four, five. >> Excuse me. >> I'm not trying to question you. >> Let me count it first. >> No. Can you Can you look in between his legs quickly? Cuz I think he just put some momentum in between his legs. >> How much money did you have on you? >> Can you I'm asking >> I haven't touched it. Can you just check in between his legs? >> Sir, listen to me. >> He's moving and everything. Look, he's moving. Sir, I'm good. >> Sir, listen to me. Tell me how much cash you had on you. What was the amount? I just want to see. I'm not going to lie. Can you Can you check I'm not going nowhere. Can you check your phone off for me, please? Hell no. He just touched my I I heard the rubber band pop. He told me Oh, I I had to >> look. And he's moving. He's moving between his legs. >> Stand right here. >> I'm going to stand right here. But can y'all please check y'all fellow officers? Please. What's going on? Look, he's moving his arm right now. >> How much passive you have on you? >> Can you check your I didn't Can you check your people? Cuz he's Look at his hand. He's tucking money. He's tucking money right in his right hand. >> Tell me how much money. >> He's tucking money. He's tucking my money. That's that's a that's a problem. >> Can y'all check him? >> Listen to me. What was your call? >> He's telling her no. Don't check me. >> Listen. >> Look at him moving. He's moving. Oh my god. Y'all not going to check her? >> Listen. >> Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Tell my tell. >> I've been quiet the whole time. I'm not going to allow anybody to take your money. >> Look at me. He's moving. >> But look at me. >> Look at me. If If someone takes your money, it it will be a big problem. All right. No one's going to take your money. I can see his hand. I I can see exactly what what way what what he's doing. No one's going to take your money. She's going to count your money. There's more money. >> Watch him touch my money. >> There's more money in here. You're saying that that there's more money in here. >> But what I'm saying is >> Let me ask you a question. Ask my question. Art, Art, are you saying that there's more more money in here? >> What I'm saying is he just touched my money and went through three different floor compartments and I seen him put it in between his legs. I heard my rubber band. I've been nothing but cooperative with you guys. All I wanted you guys to do. >> I'm saying but he already moved and did a lot of different stuff. >> Okay, come sit over here. >> But y'all already let him move like no way. Like watch. Hey, I can't believe y'all can see me like that. How much tax do you have on each total so I can count it out and we can verify the needs? That's what I'm asking you. >> We can know what the total amount was. >> No man, I honestly don't. The money was for a bill. My wife gave it to me. You want to just She tried to give me I tried to give her the money. You said don't give it to her. >> Okay. >> Cuz I went to Wendy's. I got a Wendy's receipt, right? >> But do you know how much cash you had on it so I can count it out so we can verify the total? Do you know approximately how much you had on it? If I say a number and I get it wrong because he touched the money, then it's going to be all wrong. But I just don't understand why I heard my rubber band being popped. >> I just grabbed it from the seat to give to her. >> That's not what you just told me either, boss. >> I did. That's what I did. And I handed her the >> I'm not going have I gave you any problem. >> No, sir. You have >> That's all I want to ask, sir. I just don't understand why y'all could like I'm not going I sit on my face. I'm not going nowhere. I just want >> I can ask you how what your total was so we can count it out. You can watch me count. >> I'm not sure. I'm distracted. It's a lot. It's a lot going on. I didn't even know I had a warrant. I'm just trying to I'm just trying to like >> So if you >> what's it called? I'm trying to like just like comply with you guys. But that just doesn't make sense to the point where like I just watched him me and you both watched him move his hands. I watched him tear up. I watched him look at you and tell him like look at look at you and tell you no you're like you're not about to. I I just watched him do way too much when I haven't been nothing but nice and compliant to you guys. You feel what I'm saying? I'm trying to go along with you guys' protocols and everything. All I've done was ask questions so I know how like to make sure I'm safe and my family can find me and stuff. And it's like >> and that's why I was asking you what your total was so we can sit here and count it out. We can verify that it's correct. >> His silence and deer in the headlights reaction when he was confronted raised immediate red flags. But it was his greed that really did him in. Putting an expiration date on his career in uniform. >> I did see that sir. None of y'all none of y'all like none of you guys body cam is on like like I know >> mine's on right now >> but I know for a fact what I seen and what I heard and then when I asked him why was he like popping the rubber band on the window he said I was just making sure something but it's no need to make sure you feel what I'm saying like that's my property you feel what I'm saying and I know for a fact the window was touched but it's a million compartment >> yes I did touch it >> when I grabbed it out of the sink >> I understand so I don't want to argue with you Mr. I didn't know what. >> No, sir. >> Okay. So, what we I typically do is count out everybody's money. So, you can see that it's accurate. >> Was the money was altered before. >> So, when I turn it over to property, you can verify that the total we're counting out now is the total that you're going to get back. >> Okay. Are you good with me doing that right now? I want to count in front of you so you can see how much that you have. Okay. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 20 40 60 80 90 7 One night you see me putting it all in here. >> What are we saying? 190. >> I wasn't saying that. >> No, I I didn't I didn't say you said that. Yes, ma'am. >> Right. But I said I wanted to count it out from in front of you so you can see how much is in there. Because when we turn this over to the sheriff's office, it's then going to go to Marshalls. It's going to go to the next sheriff's office. So, this is us verifying that we're putting all your money in here. >> Can you write my name on there? Also, uh can y'all like like I I don't know the protocol with that, but like can y'all check y'all like like his person because like if anything is on him like it would be in No, I don't I don't >> Look, I'm I'm going to show you right here. Look, look, look, look at me though. Look at me. All of you guys probably look this is all I want to explain to you guys. >> Most of the time when somebody know they didn't like when somebody knows for a fact they didn't do anything. >> They're not going to just, you know what I'm saying? Like let you search them and I don't have kids. You feel what I'm saying? But I know how that goes because my mom did foster care. I didn't do anything like how me and you been talking the whole time just like how me and you was talking the whole time. If I didn't do anything, I have nothing that I'm worried about. You feel what I'm saying? There would be no reason for him to show me his pockets and stuff. Like I know for a fact >> I want you to feel >> comfortable. I would have I would have felt comfortable if your colleagues would have searched you at the exact time where I knew where the money was cuz I seen you kept going in between your legs and then every time everybody put all of the attention on me, you kept moving. I don't know if it's in your door. I don't know where it's at, but just like look, I don't even care to find the money. But >> how you know how you know for a fact that I'm right? Come here. Come here. Come here. Do you mind if I move? >> Come here. Come here. You want to come here? You know that. >> Okay. Do Do you see anything? >> No. Yeah. Look. No cap. I'm not even going to touch it. It's blue right here. It's all the blue hunds are right there behind that receipt. Thank you. All that's my money. He didn't have that. >> This is your money? >> Yes. I heard him crumble it up. Thank you. Thank you. All that money. That's my money. >> That's my money right there. Sir, you've been watching me the whole time. >> I seen you take it. I seen you come, sir. >> If I'm right, it's going to be around $1,000 if I'm right. And like I told you, I just went the way. >> I saw I seen you still. No, sir. >> Um, if you if you don't mind, I just want to sit down so y'all don't try to say I'm resisting. I don't want to do nothing. All I know for a fact is I know what I know and I seen my camera. >> I just wanted you guys to trust me. You feel I'm saying? That's why I was just acting a little out. But I'm perfectly fine. You feel I'm sorry. I wasn't trying I wasn't trying to expose you. >> That is not me. What? >> At first, the suspect's claim sounded downright crazy. But once the proof came in, every officer on the scene could see the seasoned cop was about to land in deep, inevitable trouble. >> Brother, I just seen you steal my money. There was no reason to pop my rubber band, brother. There was no reason for me to pop my rubber band off my money. >> I DIDN'T POP YOUR RUBBER BAND off your money. >> I heard it. Me and you just spoke about it. You heard him agree to it when he first when I first got I said I heard you did the rubber band. You said, "Oh, I had to do something something something." >> I think he was saying something about hand it to me. I just witnessed here today. Mr. Chapman went in my money. He separated my money. He was trying to steal it and I caught he put it in between his legs and as his as his colleagues approached me. He worked it towards the door. He tried to make it seem like I was lying. I'm not going anywhere. I'm in full custody of of of these officers. I'm being detained. I'm not going anywhere. I don't want any problems. I'm not armed. I didn't do anything wrong. I was just pulled over for a traffic stop. He just tried to steal some of my money. Okay, we're hearing you, but there's no need to say all of it. >> No, I was I was just looking at the camera. No, I just know how it go. You feel what I'm saying? I don't want to cause >> camera. All right. So, let's take it down or not? >> Yes, ma'am. I apologize. I'm so sorry. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, what are we going to do about this problem? Cuz he just tried to steal some s allegations on him. I'm not trying to say anything. I'm not I'm not using my words like to try to hurt anybody. I just know what I know. And then I don't even like the fact, but I know you guys have like special protocol. I don't even like the fact that he just tried to steal and nobody like stood up for me. You feel what I'm saying? Like nobody was like, "Okay." >> Nobody saw anything. >> But I seen everything, >> but nobody was saw anything that you said. >> I appreciate it, Mr. Morris. You his sergeant. >> Yes. >> Yes, he is my sergeant. >> Sir, I have 2020 and I can read. I remember when you called him out. I can tell you everything he said to you. Perfect timing. This is perfect. Perfect. need to call me out this time because you didn't know the protocol to how a federal warrant was supposed to be taken care of. Correct. Incorrect. >> That's correct. That's the reason why I called him out to ask. >> But you just separate. What? So what was the purpose of you separating my money while you gave her money? Why you just watch her count my money out in full? Cuz you just wasted a you you wasted an evidence for it cuz now she has to rewrite a totally different number. So, if I would have agreed to the number that I didn't know when she asked me, then I would have been like ridiculed or foreseen as a liar or something. That's why I didn't answer your question, ma'am, cuz I said that I had this bunch of Wendy's. I believe that's my receipt. I only ordered a 10 piece nugget and I ordered like a fry and something to drink. So, I didn't know the actual amount of the money. All I know is when my girlfriend got off work at 5:00, I was supposed to give her that money for the rest of the bills and she was going to get her car back. I was in a car with this one. That's why I wasn't in my own car, man. That was my girlfriend's car. That's why when you initially pulled me over and y'all probably have my phones, you can see the call record. I called her at like 4 something to let her know, babe, I'm being pulled over in your car. In my eyes, I thought it was going to be for the tag, the temporary tag thing, the sticker. But >> it was initially just for your speed. I promise you that. >> No, I apologize, sir. I apologize. I'm just trying to do what I got to do. But I know for a fact what I've heard, I have 2020 vision. I'm not a criminal. I don't do things that I'm not supposed to. I heard him tampering with that rubber band. Okay, that rubber band was on that money because my girlfriend gave me the money this morning and told me I wasn't even supposed to be in her car. I just took it because I didn't want to be Ubering around all day and my girlfriend had a car and she was going to work. I was supposed to be picking her up off Central at her job at her little where she do cosmetics at. With that money, we supposed to go to the bank. >> What's your full name? >> M O N C last. >> Do Do we have all all your information? >> Yes, sir. But I want to know what y'all going to do about Mr. Chap. Okay. >> You he was just caught at work with evidence. >> I'm I'm going to do my job. All right. So, >> I want it wrote down. I'm not going to lie. Not Mr. Mor. I'm cut you off. >> Listen, there's nothing I could give you right now to tell you what what what what I want to do. But like what I can tell you what I'm going to do is if if if you're legend that that he did something recount the extra million,000. >> No, like it's 900. >> Oh, it's 900. It's it's it's 900, right? >> So So like if if you're alleging that officer Chapman did or did something wrong >> so you guys don't >> listen listen and I'm I'm telling you exactly what I'm going to do >> with the suspect pushing for justice by any means. The tide was about to turn. The villain had just turned into the victim. All because of one greedy cop. Do not parse every word I'm telling you. I'm telling you exactly what I'm going to do. All right? Is that I I I have to get on the phone. I have to call my supervisors to know to run up the chain. All right. But you're But but you're you were still going going to jail. >> Oh, yeah. I understand. I wasn't trying. >> But but like that's why I'm I'm asking you if you gave them all of your information on how to get in contact with you. >> Did you do that? >> Said name. Then they ask my first name and last name. >> Do do we have address and and a phone number? >> What's your phone number? >> Uh you can take my girlfriend's number. >> So what's your girlfriend's saying? >> What's your mom's saying? >> Uh >> okay. You you'll be hearing hear from us soon. All right. >> Yes, sir. Uh, >> all right. Thank you. >> You have a piece of paper on you? >> Yeah. >> Or >> uh just for like to put in my property. Uh I would like um for you to write down um uh Sergeant Bor's name. I would like for you to write down uh uh Mr. L's name. I would like for you to write down your name and um Mr. Chapman's name. And it's not like it's not like I just don't want to forget it. >> Let me finish you in my car. >> My information is also on the citation. I appreciate it, sir. I appreciate you guys for like analyzing the situation because like if it wasn't said like this or seen like this or foreseen like this, nobody would have believed me. You feel what I'm saying? I just wanted you guys to believe me and I'm sorry if I seem I rape or >> there's another dollar in your pocket >> or I'm sorry if I like I was doing too much. I just wanted you guys to believe me without me having to do anything like to show you guys. You know what I'm saying? I try to grab him or try to like reach in his car and grab the knee while I hurt. You know what I'm saying? And I knew it was a lot going on. >> I knew there was I just know like y'all be like, >> "Yeah, they'll do that again at the um at >> Yes, ma'am. >> His ID is on the dashboard up there. >> Do you mind putting it in in my evidence file? And can I get like your name real?" >> Yeah. >> Thank you. The situation eventually forced the police department to investigate the claims. They had no choice but to bring in the suspect and get the full story of what really happened. >> Make a long story short. Uh my property was took off with me by by who? By uh what's his name? >> Chapman by uh Mr. Chapman or whatever. My girlfriend pulled up to the scene of the crime to get the uh the the money, but he told her, which he had also told me, the money was on my possession, so it had to stay with me, which wasn't a problem. From then on for fourth, I um remained in the back of Chapman's car. So my property was on the front seat the whole time. >> Mhm. >> So as we pulled up to the uh well we remained on the scene for about 20 minutes. Um then we were cleared to leave the scene. >> Your money, how was it packaged? >> It was all forward in uh hundreds and 50s. >> Okay. >> And then um >> and like did it have anything on it >> as far as a rubber band? >> Okay. Do do you remember the color of the rubber band? Uh >> I think it was like a whitish gray like not this color. The regular color of the band is like the white off white grayish color. >> So like that like that uh tan skin tones color. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> All right. So as we pulled up to the scene after he had already told everybody like his property has to stay with him and there wasn't no problem like nobody was aggressive. Everybody was doing their job, their protocol. You feel what I'm saying? Make a long story short, we pulled up like I just like was asking like each officer that I encountered like what was going on with me, like what was happening like so I can know like how to better my situation as far as like getting out. So >> long story short, when we pulled up, we were waiting for officer lack to get finished with his report so that they could start like transferring me. As everybody was waiting, I guess officers were leaving out and they were saying that they would volunteer to transport me uptown to help you guide me to like help each other out. Lack start bringing out the envelope for the inventory of me uh for my stuff like my property. I heard a rubber band being tangled with. That's when I asked the question out loud. I said, "Why would you take a rubber band off the money?" And I can't quite remember the answer he gave me. But he confirmed to me that he took the rubber band off the money and like it's my property. I'm a man. So I'mma watch my belongings the whole time. You feel what I'm saying? And like I had stated when Lack pulled me over, I was eating Wendy's and that money was bill money. Like it's on y'all cameras that when my girlfriend pulled up, she asked me for the bill money. >> Mhm. >> So he told her like keep the money in my possession which was, you know what I'm saying? Which was cool. Which was in you guys, well which was in his possession at this point. And so as I was being transferred into the car, I heard the rubber band pop. That's when I asked the question like, "Oh, like what you doing?" Like like what were you doing with the money? He confirmed that he was doing something, but he just didn't say what or I don't know if I missed it, but I know >> we was you don't you don't recall what he said. >> I don't recall, but like I'm saying there was five of us right there. So I know one of the cameras probably picked up on it or his should have. >> Okay. which I know his off because he was stealing my money, but he kept like trying to make it seem as if my eyes were playing tricks on me and I heard the rubber band pop. I kept seeing him move his legs and as soon as I said it and put it out there, he tried to put the money in between his legs and hand her over the stack. When I seen the size of the stack and officer Casperon as asked me how much money was it, I didn't want to tell you guys the exact number because I wasn't sure what he had took from the stack. All I was sure of was that the way that I placed the rubber band on the money wasn't the same. >> After listening to the suspect's side, it became clear that he was not lying. In one last shot at clearing his name, the sergeant decided to talk to Officer Chapman and hear his side of the story. >> Okay, so like this is what's going to happen. All right. We We have people coming in. Obviously, they they have to talk talk to you. All right. So, um I I'm going to have to hold on to your weapon right quick. Okay. >> Yep. >> Take just take the uh whole holster off. That's one of them. >> QS. I got um Sergeant B. One of the detectives won't come and speak. All right. >> So, just chill out, relax, do you need anything? >> No. I'm I'm I just want to apologize everyone I say, man. I one of these things, dude. And I'm I'm sorry. Hi, brother. Um, anything you drink or anything left? >> No. Just want to say I'm sorry. >> I got you, Conor. Well, we're going to walk out of here and close the door, okay? Until they get here. Okay, buddy. All right. Um, let me know what it is if you need anything. All right. >> I'm good, s I appreciate it. >> Eventually, he was charged with embezzlement. Officer Chapman was awful, just like Officer Rebecca Sey, an offduty officer and also a crazy ex-girlfriend. Caused such a mess that the only thing shining that night was her career going up in flames. >> You need to come here right now >> because I just snapped. >> Rebecca, >> no. We're going to go when I get all my >> You know better than this. >> Okay. Well, I'm calling my PBS. >> You know there's stairs here at your house. >> I'm getting my [ __ ] I don't >> give a What the are you doing? >> Your house down next. >> On April the 25th, 2025 at around 11:20 p.m. officers from the Berkeley Township Police Department rushed to a home on Everan Avenue after reports of an active break-in. But when they arrived, they quickly realized that this was way more chaotic than expected. It wasn't some random intruder. It was an offduty ex-girlfriend in full psycho mode, tearing through the place while wielding a baton and turning the house into a full-blown scene. >> Dude, where is she? >> Turn that needs to be on. Yeah, >> she's upstairs throwing a tantrum. Okay, bro. Am I going this way? >> Walk in. Come back. Rebecca, >> I'm not doing this right now. >> You are. Rebecca, stop. Stop. >> I'm not I'm getting all my >> I got you, but stop for a second. >> No, I'm getting all my stuff. Rebecca, >> stop for a second. >> Wait, I have a closet full of clothes here. I have all my important here. and he wants to sit here and have a [ __ ] random here with all my belongings thinking that what she's gonna be the new parent to my dog saying that she's gonna move in and [ __ ] Get the [ __ ] >> you going to stop screaming though. >> I don't care. I'm I need my phone. I'm calling my PBA rep. >> All right. Well, this is the problem here. You're not going. Stay up here. Recca, >> Rebecca. No, you're not. Rebecca. >> Rebecca, stop. >> I'm going to my car. >> Stop. She's walking up front. >> Hey, was that guy trying to wave us down? >> Uh, no. No, there was another guy down there. >> She's going She's going nuts. She broke through my front door, walked in. She put her hands on her. She does not live here anymore. She lives in Tom's River. It's Rebecca Sage. >> Um, she's throwing a tantrum up in my room right now. Um, uh, Kyle [ __ ] is in there right now. >> Kyle, >> I don't know if that's the best person to be handling this right now. >> Okay. >> And who Berkeley? Are we clear? >> Listen, the reason why she found out is because we have on camera a cop coming here running my plate to be honest. >> Oh, I'm not familiar with any of the situations. I found out >> Well, I'm just letting you guys know. Um, because this is a bigger deal than what it actually is. I'm a police officer as well, so is she. So, like now my department's getting involved in this. So, I've seen everything to be documented. She's >> walking out right now. >> Where's her car? >> Her car is right here. Her car is right. >> She's walking out. >> We're not doing this. We don't We don't need the whole force here. >> She's not leaving. >> Watch out. Watch out. >> She's not leaving. Just grab it for that storage. >> Yeah, it's storage. Rebecca, >> she doesn't live here. She doesn't live here for 2 and 1/2 years. She's breaking stuff. I get it. I know the sensitivity of this, but she's got to come out of my house. I I just >> What'd she break? The >> front door. The front. She broke. She took a baton. >> Oh, >> where she at? >> Right there with Kyle. >> Rebecca, come on. Stay out here for a minute. I need you to do me do me a solid here and just stop making my brother. All right. Stop making this harder than it's going to You need to come here right now because I just [ __ ] snapped. >> Well, I just smashed his front door in >> smashed the front door. >> Oh, she's right here. The ex-girlfriend identified as 32-year-old officer Rebecca believes she was running the show that night when in reality she was steering straight into a career-ending moment. While her fellow officers tried to calm her down and bring some sense into the situation, she stayed focused on her malicious agenda, brushing off reason completely. >> I'm over here. I I'm not a problem. If he wasn't a liar and didn't have all my belongings in here and my dog, we wouldn't have a problem. I'm calling my mother right now. >> I don't care. You're under arrest. >> For what? Criminal mischief. >> Yeah. and break it in. >> So, criminal mischief isn't an interest. >> Hold on. I'm first of all, >> Rebecca, stop. Please stop. >> You're making this a lot harder than it's got to be. >> Rebecca, >> no. We're going to go when I get all my >> No, we're This is the way to handle this. You know this. >> You know better than this. >> Okay. Well, I'm calling my PB. >> You know there's St. Getting my What? What? >> Okay, give me a second. >> We're not going to give you A SECOND. >> YES, YOU ARE. I'M CALLING MY PBA. >> I DON'T GIVE A [ __ ] >> I DON'T KNOW WHO IT ARE you doing. >> What are you doing? >> Are you [ __ ] me? >> Stop resisting. >> Are you kidding me? >> Stop resisting.

I was just calling my PBA rat. >> Give me my phone so I can call my mother >> caller station. >> No, you could give me my phone now. >> Grab DVD paper. >> Yep. >> I want my dog. I want my dog. Kyle, I want my dog. >> Kyle, remove yourself. All right. Huh? >> Burn your house down next to the charge. >> Stop talking. >> My car. >> At least my hair is nice, too. >> All right. Someone else want to grab the skateboard? Yep. >> Is anyone going to meet me back at the station? >> All right. So, I'm patrolling. I don't think we ever met, but I got your phone. Is there anything else you need? >> Um, I need someone to remove my car from this place. And with my car, I need my dog. And, um, probably the best person to call is my brother or my sister. >> Okay. >> Um, >> I'm just going to transport you. my mom might be able to take my dog, but um I tried calling her, but that's when Brian decided to manhandle me >> when I decided to try to call my mom. >> We get down to the police station call, right? >> Yep, that's fine. >> Reports later revealed that she had stayed in the house with Anthony Charello, a detective with the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office whom she had dated for 5 years, raising the chilling question of what would have happened if a firearm had been involved. Listen, I'm I'm no video when I'm constantly lied to and like my stuff is being withheld from me. There's only so far like so long and so far you could go. >> All right, just let me put my uh taser away. >> Listen, I totally understand. 29 Berkeley. You can secure the salad for just come here. I'll explain. Just you're on my watch right now. So, I'm just bring being brought in right now. >> What? >> No, I've never met him before, but I need you to come here because the one officer that was like at my old house like manhandled the out like choked me out basically. Um, which which way do you want me to go? >> It's on the bench. Oh, this back here. >> Yeah, just after that like I I'll let you talk for a second. >> Um I just I just need you or someone here. Like I'll call Ryan if I need to call Ryan, but I just need someone here. >> Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. I've been completely fine with them the entire time. Like, I'm chill. Um, I tried calling my mom, but that's when I got like manhandled and so I had to hang up. Um, I called my brother. My brother's not too happy with me right now, but I don't know if he plans on coming here or not. >> While you're talking, let me get one of those costs off. >> No, no. Whatever you need to do, you just tell me what you need to do. >> Okay. Go ahead. Go. Go. Just do everything. You know what to do. Just do everything. >> No. I know. I know. I know. I know. I was literally just there to get my [ __ ] and then I found out I'll I'll explain everything to you like when someone gets here. >> I'm going to put handcuffs that aren't handcuffs on the bench. >> Honestly, like I'm I'm not going to do anything. I'm literally just going to sit here. >> Yeah, I know. I just >> You just have an alcohol wipe for my hand. >> Yeah, I just need someone here. >> I just got to put this on the bench, though. I'm going to have uh someone else just bring in. >> Yeah. No, whatever you need to do, just tell me. Like I'm I'm telling you I'm not going to give you a hard time. >> No, no, no. You're not giving me a hard time at all. >> Yeah. >> But yeah, so like I definitely [ __ ] up, but um I just need one of you guys here. >> Eventually, Rebecca was charged with home invasion burglary, two counts of two counts of criminal mischief, and making terroristic threats. As part of her plea deal, Rebecca resigned from the Tom's River Police Department after pleading guilty to all charges. Rebecca acted first and then paid later, just like Officer Lewis, whose misjudgment during a traffic stop closed the book on her career. >> You almost ran me off the road. >> I initiated my license and siren. >> Sir, she almost ran me off the road. >> Again, you didn't use the lights and siren. You came out. >> She was next to me and stopped and almost ran me off the road. >> I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. and just >> I DON'T HAVE MY ID with me. >> On September the 22nd, 2022, Officer Lewis pulled over a silver infiniti for expired tags. But her reckless driving nearly hit another driver, Mr. Kern. He pulled over to call her out, but her sense of authority made her flip the script and tried to turn a victim into the villain. >> A1 radio standby. It's going to be uh on Mayfield across from the first access road. Sent me another unit because another party does not know how to yield to uh lights and sirens and he's sitting here reporting me. Say they almost ran him off the road. >> You okay? >> Okay. I'm Officer Lewis with Cleveland Heights. The reason I'm for the traffic stop is the plates on the vehicle are expired. >> Not even a big deal. Do you know that guy behind me in the course? >> I'm trying to hurry up and move. >> You're good. No, you're good. You did the right thing. I'm put my lights out and sirens. He did not move. I'll give you the plate to the other vehicle that's out for the confrontation. I apologize. >> You almost ran me off the road. >> I initiated my lights and siren. >> What? Where was your music on? Cuz I had the lights and sirens on, sir. >> Yes, sir. >> I apologize. He stopped abruptly. Okay, I'm not wrong. The lights and sirens were activated. I did not do that, sir. The lights and sirens on my patrol. He stopped abruptly causing me to stop abruptly causing you to stop abruptly and I apologize for that. However, the lights and sirens were on. Okay. The police vehicle is marked. You can clearly see it's a marked patrol vehicle. I initiated lights and sirens. I'm not going to argue and I'm telling you I do. I'm going to tell you I do apologize that he did stop abrupt disconnect. Right. >> So between the public and you and the public, >> you want to read your driver check. If there's something wrong and you actually did it, all you say my bad. >> And I did. I just said I said my bad. I said I activated a traffic I initiated a traffic stop in a marked vehicle with lights and sirens. If you didn't hear the sirens, I see the lights. I don't I >> Well, I CALL BACKUP CUZ SOMEBODY is getting out of a cop car. Officer Lewis's weak apology for nearly causing an accident was already unacceptable, but things went downhill fast once backup arrived. Instead of taking a moment to understand what had happened, they jumped in on impulse, showing that they were all reading from the same playbook. >> You call back up for your safety, but >> Well, you don't pull up behind an officer on a traffic stop. >> You don't even know what's >> You're right. I don't. >> Why are you saying it? >> Because I'm here and what you're doing right now is against the law. >> Ran me off the road. >> Okay. Well, then you should have pulled over for lights. She said it on the radio that you that you didn't yield >> and it's on dash cam. I'm assuming. >> It's just a disconnect. Man, >> I'll tell you what. Let her finish her business and then we can sit down and talk like >> Good. I'm going to let him go. We're good. I'm going to let him go. What? I'm sorry. What was your last name? >> My last name. Why? >> Cuz I'm asking if I'm talking to you as me who you talking to. >> Well, not under arrest. What you're doing? >> Listen, you're doing legal. I can charge you French fence. >> Just give me a lesson. >> Why? >> Because I'm conducting business with you right now. my friend. That's not >> What's your RS? >> Stand by. >> What's your reasonable articulation of my crime? >> I'm going to get rid of him. >> I'll be right. >> If you want to be understand how it works, what's your RS? >> Stand by. >> My RS here first. Okay, hold on. I I'll explain it to you. Okay. Doing what you're doing right now? >> No, sir. She almost ran me off the road. >> Yeah. >> Again, you didn't yield to lights and siren. You came out. was next to me a scout and almost grabbed me off the road. What are you talking about? >> Okay, listen to me. You ask my my reasonable articulable suspicion. >> Arrest. If you arrest me, you violate my right. >> I don't want to arrest you. We have to ID. >> You violate my right. That's what I do. >> Okay. We have to ID you. You understand that? Yes, we do. >> All right. I'm going video. >> Okay. We got you on camera, too. >> Then you come get the car. You violate my right. >> Come getting Who's getting what car? >> They can you another car here. I got a male who's distracting. >> No, I'm not JUST IDENTIFYING SELF. >> SO, I'll take a report on it, but I need your ID. Yeah, I'M DEALING WITH HER. >> LISTEN, talk to me. >> Just do me a favor. All I'm asking you. >> Just take your hands out of your pocket while we're talking. Okay. So, okay. I called for backup. All right. >> I initiated a traffic stop. I understand. You and I and that gentleman, we all just saw what happened. Okay. I'm calling for another person because I'm dealing with one person who I don't know who I'm dealing with. And you get out. Listen, sir. Let me speak. Let me explain to you. I call for another person because I have a man getting out of a car walking towards me. You know how society is. I know how society is. Now listen, >> I'm asking you to identify yourself so I can let my dispatcher know who I'm out with. If you don't identify yourself, that is obstruction. You are the one that is a secondary crime that I commit. >> There's no crime, but I'm want I'm identifying you. Okay. >> I need your driver license. >> I'm sorry. I'm I'm going to help her arrest you. You don't identify yourself. >> She just said it was no crime. >> Listen, obstruction is what crime. >> Obstructing is a crime. >> Identify yourself. >> She almost ran me off the road. And well, then I still have to identify. >> NO, YOU DON'T. >> YES, I DO. OKAY. WELL, I'm going to call into your car. You arrest me. Okay. Turn off. I didn't do anything. Turn off. I didn't do anything. >> Listen, just all you have to do. >> I DON'T HAVE MY ID with me. >> Okay. What's your cell phone? >> THE PERSON FOR WHAT? >> KARN, MAN. >> K. You know what happened? Why are you letting this? >> He's a sergeant. >> He's violating my rights. He >> is not here. Send her on your way. You have a valid driver's license. >> Yeah, I do. You violating my rights, man. >> Were you going to get a ticket for an attorney? >> HOW DID I INTERPRET? SHE ALMOST RAN ME OFF THE [ __ ] >> and you could have pulled off and waited and called AND >> I DID WAIT WHEN SHE SAID WAIT. >> YOU WERE OUT HERE TALKING to her. Have a seat. >> Mr. K. >> Push me, man. Have a seat. Why you so full of magismo, man? >> Dude, have a seat. I'm I'm not I'm not putting up your boy. Okay. Have a seat. What's wrong with you, man? >> HAVE A SEAT. SITTING DOWN ALL THE way in. >> Is he or he's getting I don't >> Is he valid? >> I don't know. Wait for real estate. What? So, this is what happened. >> That vehicle matched the description of the vehicle from we yesterday. I saw it. I initiated a traffic stop. That person instead of like pulling over, he stopped abruptly and I'm getting behind him, but he stopped abruptly. This guy was very close to him and we did. We almost caught We almost did get into an accident because that driver stopped so abruptly. I did. Yes. >> He's only >> Okay. >> He's getting a ticket for radio. He wanted me to bring back. >> Yes, I do. I do. >> That's why I provided a Demetrius Raphael. It's a 37y old. Listen, I don't feel I need to give him a ticket for that. It's >> I'm cool with >> Okay. I mean, I'm cool with letting him go. He just didn't understand. >> He's in handcuffs >> and he's being he obstructed. He refused to identify himself. I'm not going to sit out here and argue with somebody for an hour. Full legality of it. He can come to court. >> Okay. >> So, he gets a ticket for obstruction to identify himself. >> Their bully behavior was on full display as they went straight against Ohio Revised Code 2921.29, 29, which only required identification when there was reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Mr. Kerna wasn't suspected of any crime, making his refusal to provide ID completely lawful. What made it even more unsettling was that they weren't done yet. >> Mr. Hang on. Just got a lawsuit coming. >> Listen, let me explain to you. You don't get out of the car yet. The sergeant wants me to give you a ticket for obstruction. Okay? I'm not going to do anything. Listen, that he is the boss. >> He is the boss. >> I don't have to refuse if I didn't commit a crime. This isn't a stop and ID state. >> At this point, it is a traffic stop cuz you're out the road. >> Mr. Cur, we just had that conversation. I did not almost run you off the road. >> That has cameras in it. >> You guys are going to pay for this. >> Mr. Curran, I apologize. I really do. And this is on body cam. All right. This is uh the sergeants telling me to do this. So, police have to identify you. You do have to identify yourself. >> I broke the law. If I if I broke the law, I have to identify. >> Mr. Kern, you got out of the vehicle in the middle of a traffic stop. >> Got hit. >> I understand that. And I needed to identify you. This is going to be a heavy lawsuit. I think the height is going to pay you for this. >> For what, sir? >> Uh, kidnapping. Illegal detainment. >> No one's kidnapping you. >> Back of your car in handcuffs. >> Okay. >> I'm kidnapped. >> This is not kidnapping. The sergeant placed you under arrest for obstruction. He asked for your information and you didn't give it to him. >> Identify as far as >> Listen, I'm going to be There will be a court date. You and I will both go to it and our prosecutor's really good and we'll work through it. Okay. Listen, I'm just doing what I'm told to do. All right. What do I put for this verbage? When asked to identify himself, he uses. >> So, we're literally here and I'm coming up cuz I saw that car. It looked like a car from the yesterday's incident. I ran it. It's expired. I am in this lane. I put my lights on to activate. The guy instead of like continuing, he like whips over stops abruptly and I'm like halfway in between both lanes and this guy was right behind him. So, we did it did almost cause an accident. Absolutely. >> No, I was trying to go behind. He was it would have been a sure clear distance accident but because of how that guy stopped abruptly it would have been >> he stopped inside >> well and he was pissed because he did we did almost get into an accident you didn't almost >> no I it all the three of us it would have been an accident yeah I was going behind that other guy on the street the guy stopped abruptly but he did then he got out and he's yelling he's yelling while I'm initiating right >> officer Lewis already knew that she had crossed the very law that she had sworn to uphold. But knowing the law was one thing. Doing the right thing was the real test. Especially when the badge is involved. >> Sir, stand there. I'm going to let me talk to him. I'll come talk to you. And he did. But then he continuous like because he did because that happened. I called for backup. And then >> he was upset rightfully. So I it was not Why are they um like was that necessary? All right. Here's your property. Um, >> do you want to sign or you going to refuse? >> All right, I'm going to give you a copy of it. You >> guys violated my rights? >> Well, we'll have I'll be in court. >> Probably the only good cop ON THE COURT. >> I'M not trying to be a bad cop. I was literally not trying to have any of this happen. And I did apologize. >> You apologize, but you're following his his directive. >> He's a sergeant. >> Yeah. But still, like you you swore oath to the Constitution, >> right? and you know what's right and wrong and sometimes you got to stand up to people. >> Listen, >> no. >> When asked for your information, you have to identify yourself. At this point, we're on a traffic stop together. >> You still have to put >> a traffic stop is not a crime. >> And I asked am I being detained? And nobody answered that. >> Listen, >> so I did I covered all my bases. >> All the stuff in me typed in the report. >> If I was being detained, I had no choice but to give me my ID. That's why I specifically asked, "Am I being detained?" >> Well, at that point, if the traffic stop, >> but still, if I'm being detained, you should tell me. And if I'm not being detained, I'm free to go. And the situation, >> well, right now, you're free to go. >> All right. I hope that you feel better. And I'm sorry that all this had to happen this way. >> You didn't do that to me. >> Well, we did. We got into a little accident. Almost a middle accident. You did your job >> and I apologize. >> Happened in life. He came. He violated my rights. >> Well, we're going to work through it. All right. I don't think he violated your rights. He wanted you to identify yourself and you didn't. All right. >> You know, you swore O. >> Say again. >> You swore. >> I did. >> I did. >> That's all I'm saying. >> All right. Mr. Kern, thank you. >> I hope that you feel better. All right. >> All right. You going to go a metro? >> Right there. >> Yes, sir. >> Mr. Karna's obstruction charge was quickly dismissed after 11 days for lack of evidence. While Sergeant Wolf pushed the wrongful detainment, Officer Lewis's shifting story and failure to protect Karna's rights led to her firing. Following public outcry and an internal review citing her lack of integrity in a botched traffic stop. As shocking as Chapman's fall from grace was, it was nothing compared to officer Courtney Brown who actually used a coin flip app to decide the fate of the driver she had pulled over. >> Who's that? A head or tail. Okay. >> This is tail, right? >> Yeah. On the 7th of April 2018, Officer Brown pulled over a driver for speeding. Initially, the situation was very normal. However, that would quickly change as things started to escalate. >> Stay in the car. >> Sorry, my window doesn't hold. >> Off to Brown Roswell Police Department. You know how fast you were just going, ma'am. >> I'm so sorry. I'm late for work. >> So, you could go over 80 miles per hour on 92? No, ma'am. You have your driver's license and your insurance card? >> Yeah, my insurance. Turn off the car and pass me the keys, please. The ground's wet. It's been raining. You're going over 80 miles an hour >> on this type of a road. >> That's reckless driving, ma'am. >> Um, this is Lexus Nexus. I'm trying to look it up. I don't have it printed off. >> Give me one second. I'll be right with you. >> Go for it. After returning to the vehicle, Officer Brown ran her ID through the database and talked to her just as corrupt partner about the situation. >> Make me around. >> I'm going to take I'm going to take her probably for reckless. >> Okay. >> She flew past me going probably 8085 on 92 in the wet road. She says she's running late for work. I had to get up to 90 to catch her. What do you think? I mean, I don't have any speed detections at the same time, but >> No, but you can use the fact that you were going whatever speed and she went past you. >> Mhm. >> It's on camera, so you're going to have a back speed. You're going to have the fact that you went 90 to catch up to her. Um, you're going to have too fast for conditions. And >> yeah, I mean, that's unacceptable. I told her I said, you know, the roads are wet, correct? You're running late for work and you're going above 80, right, >> to get to work. I said, call. So, do not do that and put people's lives in jeopardy. >> Unsure of what to do, Officer Brown pulls out her phone and opens a coin flip app to determine what will happen to the driver. Her fellow officer is seemingly also in on it. >> Hold on. Are you Are you okay? Hold on. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Sorry. She did it. unavailable. My cat's not working. >> Who's that? >> A head or tail. >> Okay. This is tail, right? >> Yeah. So, really 23. >> Michael Jordan. Hi. It's scary to think that these officers are literally joking about another person's life. They don't care one bit. In the video, they agree that Tails means the driver will be released. However, for some reason, Officer Brown decides to change her mind. >> All right, I'm going to go. Yeah, that's not okay. >> Yeah. >> All right, ma'am. Do me a favor. Step out of the vehicle for me. Why am I >> step out of the vehicle? Turn down. Put your hands behind your back. >> Because ma'am, >> you're driving entirely too fast for conditions. You put a lot of people's lives in jeopardy. Okay. >> Double locking these so they don't tighten on you. >> Do me a favor and step in front of my vehicle, ma'am. Step in front of my patrol vehicle. Do you have anything? Do you have anything? Do you have anything in your pocket? Do you have anything on you to poke, stick, or stab me? Any drugs, paraphernalia, anything like that? Okay. You have a bon. Turn to the side for me. Here, move. Okay. I'm just going to shake this out. Okay. All right. Do your favorite stuff over here. It's my patrol vehicle. Have a seat for me. We're going to buckle you in. Okay. >> Even though the woman is visibly upset and shouldn't even be arrested in the first place, the officers are disturbingly joking around and laughing. >> Thank you. >> Uh-huh. >> Who's you're in? Nope. I I am but without a stamper. >> Oh, >> who's that? >> I don't know. Why are they plugging me? >> He's not here. >> No one. The notary. That's his all of you. >> Got five people. I mean, I am. I just don't have my stamp yet. >> One, keep their notary. You >> good? >> Yeah. >> A really big day at work. >> I understand, but he can't. >> I know. >> Who do you need to Who do you need to call, ma'am? a really really big day at work. >> Who do you need to call, ma'am? >> Listening to Officer Brown's voice, it almost sounds like she's smirking. It seems like she enjoys having power over people. The driver calls her boyfriend, who also thinks the situation is a bit weird. >> I was speeding. So, they're taking me to jail. >> Why are they taking jail for? because I was speeding. >> You want me to come get your car? >> Can you please? >> He can't come get your car. >> He can't come and get your car. >> No, this Okay. Apparently, you can't go get my car. >> Why? >> I don't know. Maybe. >> Cob County. >> Where does he Where do you go? Where does he Where does he live? >> Okay. Have a good day, sir. >> There's no there's no reason that I should. >> Okay. And four cop cars. That's ridiculous. >> Luckily, her disgusting behavior was captured on her body cam and she was put on an administrative leave shortly after. Next came, Officer Burke, convinced he could grab a few items from an abandoned car. He fixated on a bottle of pills. But the vehicle wasn't abandoned. It wasn't stolen. And in a heartbeat, Burke was staring straight at serious trouble. >> Was he going to report these items as being part of the inventory of things taken from that car? >> Unknown to him, this was a big scheme to test his integrity, and he was about to confirm the suspicions of his superiors. >> The vehicle is unoccupied. Um, that's it. A recorded phone call conversation he had with his wife from Rutherford County Jail revealed a shocking admission on his part. >> I got caught up in in something and I got in trouble. I know what I did and and I got caught. So >> in the end he was arrested, tried and convicted of tampering with evidence.
