On May 24th, 2024, at approximately 6:45 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, police responded to a disturbance involving two vehicles, one of them a bright yellow Stingray Corvette. Witnesses reported a heated argument with guns between the Corvette and a gray vehicle in a crowded parking lot. As officers arrived, they spotted the Corvette speeding up and down the street and into the parking lot. Police swarmed in and made contact with the driver of the yellow Corvette, who identified himself as Alex, but officers later discovered that Alex was actually Frankie Venigus, better known as Kodiak Red, one half of the viral duo, the Island Boys. A quick background check confirmed the false identity after officers located his Florida State ID. Frankie told officers he was scared because a man in the gray car had pulled a gun on him and was preparing to pistol whip him. Let's watch the full police body cam and see how this incident unfolds for both the men in the gray car which left the scene and for Frankie at the yellow we have. But hear me out.

In regards to this investigation out here, has any police officer previously asked you um if you want to speak with an attorney? I'm sorry. Have you previously asked any police officer out here today to speak with an attorney? All right. So, like I said, obviously all this came down from something that happened somewhere else that we got some questions about. You already know about the warrant. All right. So, if you could fill me in cuz we got puzzle pieces all over the place. if you could tell me what was going on and and how we ended up in this car, who you're rolling with. I'm rolling with the driver. And you know him from way back. Way back. Okay. So, you've been friends with him for a bit. All right. So, you're rolling around with the driver of the car. Whose car is it? It's the driver. Okay. It's his car. Yeah. You were sitting in the back seat. I had just got picked up from the Greyhound station. Actually, there where's they moved to Greyhound? Bar. Okay. So, down underneath the uh Yeah. All right. So, you get picked up over there. Go to the high. Yeah. Well, you coming from Tallahassee? Yeah. You just got back down. Yeah.

Down here. Down here. Okay. You're from Broward, right? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Um or so they pick you up then what happened? See you start rolling around. We went to the dead end first. That's another fault back there. We're just chilling. Then we had I went up there by the beauty supply store to the store for the passenger. And then the passenger saw the the kid the island boy kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then he went rapping for him. Y'all know you you know that guy? I don't know that one. I a the passenger know. Nah, he just wanted to rap for him. Oh, so he just saw him. He recogniz social media. Yeah, he went to go rap for him. All right. And and boy went to arguing. I don't know why. I was sitting in the car still boy went to arguing and then boy uh went got in his car and he was driving all crazy and jump like trying to run the um [ __ ] over the passenger and recording while he doing it. So that's how all that happened. Wait. So passenger, you guys went over the beauty store for the passenger to to meet with Island Boy or No, I haven't. Just you just happen to see him over there. All right. And then Island Boy just searched driving like driving. He stopped out. He was in the Corvette. Uh green Corvette. Okay. Like a lime green. I got you. But uh yeah, he stopped he was already out the car actually. And then when Brad got out, bro, he clapped him up. See his hand asking you rock for like yeah rock for him. I guess bro like it like the island [ __ ] ain't like it and them boys just went to arguing called like where you brother or some [ __ ] cuz he got a twin and then he like don't be talking crazy about brother or whatever. Them boys just started arguing from there and then island boy got mad. He went to driving crazy trying to run the [ __ ] over. He recording while he doing it too. So it's in his phone. So all right. So, Island Boy is driving in his car recording trying crazy trying to run over your boy. Yeah. With the car. With the car. I swear to God. That's how that happened. All right. So, I mean, how do you guys react to that? That sounds pretty wild. I didn't know all that happened out there. I'm going to let them tell you that. Well, I mean, tell me tell me what went on to get us over to this one, right? Oh, yeah. Once we pulled out like once um they were done doing all that cuz they he kept coming back and forth like literally driving out the parking lot coming back in speeding through like you guys are still there. Yeah, we stayed there cuz well I went driving so I had but yeah so he kept coming. He came back like five times at least driving page acting like you about to run somebody over. You recording it the whole time and then so where were you in the car? You're sitting in the car. The whole time I stepped out for a little bit, but then I stepped back ain't nothing for real. So stepped back in the car was that then the driver came like come on cuz I see something y'all don't he saw probably I think this police car in front of him. He saw that about to make a U-turn. So he like let's go and get up out of here. We drove the police hopped behind us and then followed us for a little bit then brought you here. Yeah. Soon as we parked, that's when we put the lights on. All right. I mean, listen, man. I I already, you know, we looked you up obviously to find stuff, right? See that you're not a bad dude. You actually haven't been arrested or anything like that. You know, I'm not going to say bad dudes can't, you know, or good dudes can't make mistakes, right? But so when you're out there, you're beefing your boys about to get ran over. You're telling at any point did you get in some beef with the kid, too? Yeah. No, I don't be on that. I don't be on that. No. All right. I mean, you already know you you saw what we had in the car. You guys know you're riding dirty, right? Yeah. I say you can't ride like that, but I mean, maybe it's not a smart home when we're going to go, you know, back and forth or something. That was just a This ain't even. And I was like, it's no like we don't know him at all. Like, it was just something that literally just out the blue happened. So, yeah. Just happened to roll up on him, start rapping for him, said something about his brother. He starts and he starts trying to run over your boy. All right. That being said, man, like I said, I'm not saying you can't be riding dirty like that, but you already saw what we got in the car, right? At any point, bro, did any of those guns come out? I'm asking you, man. I'm asking I already talked to some of your boys, one of your boys over there. I'm asking the same questions, right? The guns come out at any point or a gun between me and you. I'm going to keep it G. All right. We keep First time he came back, I whoop mine. Not the four fire. Which is which was where? Under the in the back. In the back. Yeah. A Glock. No, it's MP shield. MMP shield. Shield. Okay. But yeah, I wouldn't mind. But then I ain't pointed to nothing. I just whipped it out for safety in my hand. Okay, cuz I I done been shot before three times. I got my kit to remove. I got shot. I've been shot before. So I have to get in my defense mode. But yeah, I wh but I ain't pointing to nothing. But then when I seen you kept faking, driving back and forth like a I thought let them boys do what they do. I ain't going to say what they did. But I'm going tell you what I did. I I appreciate you telling me what you did cuz you could really only speak for yourself and I get that trying to I'm not asking you to rat on your buddies or anything like that. It's just kind of what happened out there and what you did. So you pull your MMP shield because I'm going to handle my side though like this. And what was your reason for for pulling it? When he kept coming back driving crazy like he going to run somebody over just in case he would have came too close to me trying to run me over then. Yeah. But other than that, ain't nothing happened. All right. At any point did you raise the firearm? No. No. No. No. No. So tell me exactly what you did with it. You didn't get picked it up and put it in my hand just like this. Just stand there with it watching watching him do all that crazy junk like somebody else. He wasn't going to do it. The only reason why I really put it back cuz I thought he was going to leave cuz he had drove down but then he had ended up turning around and coming back. I like bro you faking cuz he did it too many times. He ain't going to do nothing. Plus you recording so you not really do nothing. Well man I appreciate you being on to me. I mean, that that sounds pretty straightforward. If you're saying if someone trying to run over your boy, I'm you know, I hear what you're saying, but um my other question though is you're saying you got an MMP shield that you pulled out. Did another gun cuz you were in the back seat. There was another gun back there. You You know which other gun I'm talking about back there? Taurus. Uh yeah, that should be in brother name. That should be in the license license register. That should be in the passenger name. In the passenger name. It should be y. What was that? Where was that one? I ain't going to lie. I do not know. Keep it G. When y'all get behind us, we try to duck them off and hide them so it don't be on us. So I don't know where he put his. I'm sure you guys did. But so what was in the which one was in the black uh plastic bag? There was one in the black plastic bag. That one. That one's yours. All right. That's a MMP shield. Yeah. And the other one that came out was a Taurus. Yeah. You saying came out like what? And then you pulled it out. I thought that's what you said. No. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know. Is that what you said came out too? No, I didn't say you pulled out. Just just you pulled your MMP shield out. I'm telling you what I did. I ain't speaking for them. Yeah. All right. One more followup question for you. Is you're saying the MMP shield was yours? That was one uh black plastic bag. Yeah. On the back seat. Yeah. Yours. Where'd you get that gun? Uh I ain't going to lie. got this wrong. I bought it from somebody. How long ago did you get that? I can't really answer that. You know something wrong with it? You ain't know who you got it from or anything? We're still We're still trying to figure that out. Oh, I was going to say, but no, it takes us a while to figure out the information on the guns and all that stuff. So, when did you get that thing? I got to determine when all those guns when they're p, you know, that's just my that's my line of questioning. I got to do it. You want to know something? Y the first person to ask us back. I got guns took from you with my brother. They ask none of these questions or they reported. They just took but Oh yeah. Yeah. But um I say about a good year now. For real. For real. You've had that thing for a year. You get it down here in Broward or up in Tallahassee? Broward. In Broward. You remember where you got it? Not a gun store or anything? It was like a little club like like off of you know gun trade outside. Yeah. Yeah. So, you went online, bought a gun online. All right. Well, let me go let me go talk to your buddies over there. Figure out the whole sort of the island boy thing and what's going on with that. I ain't going to let you. Yeah. You want me to loosen those? I know you got I got you. Hold that real quick. Yeah. Just kick your feet into there. That'll be easier. Which one's tight on you? This um the right one? Yeah. All right. What happened to your hand? I had surgery. I just fought cancer. Really? Yeah. What kind of cancer? I had a tumorous cancer. It was a fibro saroma big on my hand. Cut it off. Do surgery. When When was that? Uh that was like a couple months ago. Three, three months ago. I've been still healing on the inside. I'll try not to aggravate it, but All right, that should be loose. If you if you keep your hands like that, let me lock them so they don't tighten up on you. One more. Yeah, I got I got my fingers. I can make a phone call. I don't know if I can. Yeah, I can coordinate a phone call in a bit before you go down. All right, cuz you are going to go for the warrant. You got to do that. Hands are tied on that. All right. All right. But we're going to try to figure out everything uh everything else that happened out here. All right. No problem. Cool. I appreciate you. All right. Appreciate it. Yes, I'm the Did you call Michael? Can I talk to your worker? [Music] Did you see this? Yeah, we was standing out that we ain't have no choice. We were blocked in. Could you tell us what's going on? Okay. He was out in the parking lot. The island boy in the yellow car. Three or three. What's in the car? Three or four boys in the yellow car? In the gray car. Okay. Okay. I don't know. There's no gray car here, but I guess it's down. Okay. Okay. Who was What's the officer that was in the mark car? I'm in the mark car with you. Okay. When you was coming up the street going that way, you look over this way. It was a gray car parked. I don't know if your camera can see over here. Okay. So, but it was a gray car parked next to my car. Okay. Like two cars over from mine. It was some guys in that car. They all was in that car talking to him. talking to him. They started I guess it was an altercation about between the driver, the island boy driver and the people in the gray car. Yeah. Okay. About this boy [ __ ] here. So I told her, "Don't worry about the picture. Just go in the store." Cuz she was talking to the island boy too. So after they start, you just go in the store. I'm getting back in the car. Anyway, one of the guys, the driver of the gray car, walked to this yellow car. The driver of the gray car walked over to the yellow car, but they both walked over to the yellow car. He reached down in the car and the boy told him, "Don't reach for that gun and he kept reaching." The boy said, "Don't reach for that." The island boy or the people in the gray car? The people in the gray car. So, the people in the gray car walked up to the yellow car. Yeah. Talking. The guy in the yellow car started reaching for something. He was his car facing inward. He was reaching over like this. The boy or the driver of the gray car, he's telling him, "Don't reach. Don't reach for that gun." So I told her, "Come." She was heading. I said, "Don't go. Let's go. Come on. Let's go." By then we couldn't get out. We was blocked in. So then I see two other guns get pulled out. So we start running to that to the store next to get in. So the people in the the people in the gray car said what they said don't pull don't pull nothing. No he said don't don't pull out that gun as if he saw the gun. His words was don't touch that gun. Don't pull that gun out. Then that's when the boy on his in the gray car on the on the passenger side pulled out a gun. Somebody else on that in that gray car pulled out a gun. So when he finally did get out, when the yellow car finally did get a chance to back out the parking spot, he backed out, pulled in and pulled back in and hit the driver of the gray car with his car. He went up. So the other person the other person I saw when pulls out a gun, does he just hold it? Is he pointing at the alleged one to have the girl pointing out? So he back out of his parking spot. He pulls back in. He hit the driver on the head with his car. He pulled back out. He go up. The driver of the gray car pulls out. No, the yellow car pull out of the driver who the yellow car. The yellow car. He hit the driver of the gray car. Yep. On the leg with the car. Then he backs out again. He flies out that way. He flies back down this way. Flies back up that way. He flies back up this way. And at that point, he hits the leg of the driver. At that point, he hit the boy hanging with the car. The hand. Yeah. Cuz he was in between his car and his car at that point. But yeah, he he I guess he was in for his damn life, but he should have left once he was able to get out of the parking space. I guess the driver. He hit the hand of the driver of the Yep. Left hand cuz he had a blue right. Oh, I ain't giving y'all my name and stuff, man. So, basically, they he went to go research something. The people in the gray car pulled out a gun. The yellow guy, the yellow guy drives off, comes back and hits the hand of somebody in the car. He hit his leg. He hit him with the car on his leg first. Then he hit him. Then he drove back to the parking lot. Yellow car. He was running from everyone. He said his car, bro. I was scared as [ __ ] bro. I was going to call you guys, bro.

You didn't stop at the stop signs. Can I get my bag, please? Yeah, we have your bag. Okay. So, but just you know, that's that's why you're in the car. Okay. So, so the first incident, I'm wearing the report for us. That's important. second incident. If you lying about your name and driving recklessly, that's what they're going to write the report for. Okay? So, you're going to go to jail for the for the fake name and for driving recklessly and then I'm going to do your report to what happened earlier. Oh, tonight my tattoos. That's my dad's name. Sir, that's my dad's father's name. Greg Junior. Trap. Huh? I'm not arresting you. One of the other officers. Are you kidding? Sir, that's my dad, bro.

Uh, false ID, I think to Leo, reckless driving, um, and a couple other things. But I'm not charging you. the other officers. What's a couple other things? The other officer going to let you know I'm not charging you. Uh I'm not sure. Do you are you going to have any warrants or anything like that? No. I doubt it. I don't know why. Traffic offenses. Of course, I don't understand. Why did you lie about your name? I don't get it. We came to help you, right? I was so nice to you. I got my license, bro. So, what about your license? It's suspended. I I I I want I want to get my license. So, you gave us a false name because your license is no good. No, bro. I I'm telling you, I'm Alex. Y'all reading the prank from my from my tattoos. That's my dad. Hey, can I be real with you? What? You just said that you have a suspended license. I'm under the impression your brother does not have a suspended license. So, that being said, you're saying that your name is Frank. Why do we keep Let's hear me out. I'm being as nice as I can.

When the police ask you a simple question, doesn't matter how much sleep you have, you answer with your real name. I'm not good without no rest. Okay.

We found out now. But did you really want to make a police report saying you're the victim of somebody putting a gun in your face under your brother's name? That's not fair. So, what happens when I send it up to the detective bureau and I give them your fake name, your brother's name? They're going to call your brother and your brother's going to be like, "I have no clue what you're talking about." That's not right.

The defense are going to be like, "Listen, your honor, this guy's a liar. What makes you think he's telling the truth? He's going to lie about his."

False ID given a Leo. What is that? 10. No, it's not. After claiming he was driving erratically because he was being threatened by several men, Frankie Venigus gave officers a false name, an attempt to conceal his driver's license status. If you're unfamiliar, Frankie has a twin brother, Alex, and has previously been accused of impersonating him to mislead law enforcement. The tattooed Tik Tok star, better known as one half of the viral duo, The Island Boys, was arrested in Fort Lauderdale and booked into the Broward County Jail. He faced three charges: operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, providing false identification to law enforcement, and reckless driving. This isn't Frankie's first run-in with the law. In 2023, he was arrested after allegedly slapping his girlfriend and pushing her into a swimming pool at their Airbnb in PMPO Beach. According to police, the altercation began when she threatened to end their relationship due to his abusive behavior. She sustained injuries to her chin, legs, and arms and was treated at a local hospital. While Frankie was initially charged with battery, the case was later dismissed.
