self-defense and is not as dangerous as a gun he was arrested and held in the Orange County Jail on a $5,000 Bond following a brief investigation he was released after it was determined that the pepper ball device was not considered a firearm no charges were filed against him however this traffic stop initiated an investigation that resulted in the firing of Sergeant vidler the investigation revealed that it was clear Mr DT's pepper ball device was not a firearm and he should have been released at the scene rather than being taken to jail if you think that was the most a fake cop could realize he's been caught then you probably haven't heard about this next case you identified yourself as a sheriff's department Deputy with the sheriff's department I said I called the sheriff's department no you didn't we have it all on video here's the thing if you want to listen to me if you want to play games this is Daniel a Mitchum a police impersonator on February 8th 2020 officers

department Deputy with the sheriff's Department I said I called the sheriff's department no you didn't we have it all on video here's the thing if you want to listen to me if you want to play games dude pay attention to me I'm high man if you want to play games with me I'm just going to book you for everything I was high okay you're high don't he put it under the under the the bottom on the that's what I saw him doing if you guys look underneath the fell out the wheel is there anyone home no is there anyone home sir is there anybody home I don't know do you live here no I was I was just getting out to ask who okay well you're under arrest okay detectives later located the vehicle and observed Mr Mitchum attempting to conceal something near the spare tire he fled again but was ultimately apprehended outside a residence during his arrest Mr Mitchum admitted to posing as a deputy and acknowledged being a felon he claimed ignorance about the gun being real but a 9mm Springfield with 13 live rounds was recovered observe how the encounter proceeds for imperson in a police officer now I'm giving you the opportunity to tell me where that gun is I saw you underneath your car I put it up there and I it fell off when I took off I saw it fall it it was not a gun it's a stun gun do you mind back no that was a firearm sir I know what a firearm looks like when you put your hand on it and identified yourself as a Burnal Leo County sheriff's officer it was a firearm where is it I didn't say I was a Burn Leo County Sheriff's offices yes you did did I yes he you even told the woman that if you could find that gun look at my face uh you could still be honest with Dan I will could you I don't know what I was I don't know what I was saying Andy to back track and you got this yeah I'll get it tried to hide to my okay so you're going to have you're going to have one chance to be completely you honest with me okay yes sir did did my partner read you your rights yet yeah yes sir okay so you understand your rights you want to talk to me about it like I said you have one chance to be honest with me otherwise we're going to just go off what the my other fellow detective told okay so goad and start from the beginning and out of theant up on back almost hit a white car that was probably back 1 stre uh and I uh 10 I'm high man okay so what happened high or not just be a man and be honest about it I I thought that guy was stealing that car I did I seriously did a car pulls up the car was wide open and I he pulls the ball fast and jumps out and I thought he was stealing it so I I I don't even know exactly what I said I don't remember exactly you said I'm a Burnal Leo County Sheriff's deputy oh my God that's what the detective saying you said so let's think about why you would say that you're saying you thought he was stealing it right I thought he was stealing the car yourself as a deputy that's impa a police officer the registered owners so where's the firearm that you had the detective said so again be honest I put it on the on the car and it fell off and went I don't know where on the car where I put it on the back of the bumper when though uh when way back over Yonder where though uh over by the no are you able to carry a firearm I'm not why uh I'm a felon so why did you have a firearm I don't think it was a a loaded gun I don't think it was a fake I think it was one of those blank guns so so take it listen up listen up listen up take a deep breath yeah let's think about what happened here I need that gun because listen to me you know what could happen if it fell somewhere a kid could listen to me I know Focus right here I I don't think it fired real bullets sir I think it's a fake I'm serious I think it's a he this guy keto said he was uh it shoots them blank things with the blue things on ITP do you have any or anything did you put it on our no okay yeah he said that he was staring people up there in okay so you identified yourself as a deputy and then what happened to the detective you identified yourself and then what what happened after that I think I started yelling at him or what' you say I'm not exactly sure why would you identif by yourself as I saw you stealing a car it doesn't matter there's a way to go about it you don't identify yourself as a as a police officer I was higher than hell okay higher listen to me what's your name what's your name Daniel you mind if I call you Daniel please okay Daniel yes sir so there's a way to go about it the way you went about it was not the way to go about it I didn't unfortunately for you you identified yourself as a police officer two police officers so you got caught and then what's the reason I've never done that before hold up well it doesn't matter you did it now okay so then when you left why were you driving like that I was somebody was chasing me that there was a a truck chasing me okay I was scared did he identify himself as Albuquerque police not that truck that truck was chasing me and I didn't I didn't nobody was chasing you yeah there was a blue truck that was chasing me there's no one chasing you did you see lights on it no so then he wasn't chasing you but yeah he followed me into that CI thing right there that cue sack place yes you were being followed by detectives cuz you identified yourself as a police officer no one was chasing you God I thought I told you man I did a bunch of heroin and methamphetamines together you put it on theath of saying he put the gun right there he said he put it right here and then he it fell out loaded gun in the middle of the goddamn street it's like it has like a light blue grip doesn't it was like 10 it was like [Applause] camouflage what's this 20 yeah cuz if if you can p it we'll P it a criminal history query revealed Mitchum previous convictions for aggravated twoy degree murder aggravated armed robbery tampering with evidence and escape from a conspiracy
