reason I'm asking is is there's been multiple calls about your driving the other off side okay so I got very turned around in the uh in the fog like confused and and kind of worried about it for a minute um especially cuz I'm obviously low on gas actually I'm I need to get gas so I was kind of panicking for a bit for sure okay how many kiddos you got back there one just one just one okay yeah thanks I've got little ones so wow your window tint is really dark we're not talking about my kids right now so I got my body camera on just to let you know okay cool so what you where did you start out tonight what do you mean like where are you coming from my mom's house okay where does she I don't know who your mom is Newport in Newport okay and then you were headed which direction I was trying to go home and T Lane but I got turned around in the fog and I ended up actually I was driving for about 45 minutes and I was so turned around the fog and I got actually I didn't even know I was back in Newport until I saw the coffee cup over there and I was like oh my God and then I realized I had got to get gas yeah so I was a little bit of a panic mode for sure okay mhm um do you mind
