hey man Drop The Knife drop it right now drop it we trying to help you on January 17th 2022 officers received a report of a traffic crash the man involved later identified as James Armstrong made the faithful decision to flee the scene leaving a trail of Chaos in his wake after an extensive search Armstrong was located driving around the area somebody rear end did you yes sir I was trying to do a little U-turn and think he was on his phone and uh that's what he said yeah he had called earlier or whatever yeah I just went back over there and yall wasn't there so I was trying to contact y'all you're okay man do you have your uh yes yeah yeah you're good sorry that happened to you man you just trying to go shopping and stuff huh take a show oh really here you are man your license is good and up to dat All That Jazz um what it is is FHP Works reck and stuff so that's not a big deal deal they'll come out and uh with this being your truck and stuff you probably got insurance and all that jazz all that good stuff yeah they'll just want to talk to you too um if you usually when people get rear ended it's the other vehicle that's at fault right right yeah yeah so that's not a problem um what they'll do is they'll just come out and talk to you and stuff uh do you have a good phone number for you and everything I was trying to come to Y substation oh where you yeah what's up what you need man go for what you on my name oh oh is it like registry or something like that no I don't no oh okay who contacted you do you know who who contacted you who who did you need to talk to I was just looking for y'all's office for oh yeah oh I got you I got you give me one second um what did you you need to come up to the office for what was that about about theend vend oh oh about this oh okay okay okay yeah our office is right up there man and Stu is there any weapons in the car or anything like that okay now what I'll do is uh let me get in contact with FHP as well so I can relay that to them um I don't think they've gotten out here yet I I haven't heard them there yeah you said you saw them again up there but there was no cop up there or anything then that means they haven't gotten here yet did you need to call anybody or anything like that okay cuz your car is still running so you're good to go all we have to do is just get them to do the accident report but like I said with the way you were going and then with them yeah I was going to say most people when you get re you're solid on that um all I can suggest is in the future if that ever happen just pull over and wait talk to the other people cuz sometimes they'll hash it out and say no no I'll take care especially if they're at fault you know what I mean do you want to go down there instead of right here yeah that's fine or do you want to go to where they're at at the accident office you'd rather go to the Sheriff's Office yeah I can follow you over we're just waiting for FHP so huh no why why did you stay why didn't I stay yeah a question my brothery Liv right down the road here then I said well I'll just go to a motel and then I come back and I see him still sitting there so I turn around and uh you're part you left the scene I came back wa right I came back and I seen this guy so I just pulled in here and make contact you know and I just want to pess up show the problem I've got and I'm trying I'm trying to help you all right what it is is you came back to where the the the accent was you know you're trying to get amends for that you got rear ended so everything kind of deviates that hey I don't know but it seems like the other one was at fault all right the other thing is if you leave the scene of an accident that could be committing a crime so technically you did but you didn't cuz you're right here you know what I'm saying you see what I'm saying so I'm trying to make amends with that but then I have the other agency that's involved FHP so I'm trying to correlate with them they're just taking forever to get here but when they get here then I can get that taken care of you see what I'm saying I don't want to see you in trouble because if you leave the scene and stuff yeah go back up there and give him my insurance if I we exchange Insurance well yeah but I mean technically it's it's the point now it's like okay let's let's just stand by we we'll stand by for FHP you're perfectly fine I've already checked you have insurance and all that stuff you're good but like I said let let FHP do what FHP has to do does that make sense yeah any I mean whether we wait here we wait there we wait there it doesn't matter but I'd rather just not go back over there where they are okay because I don't want to see them be upset at you you see what I'm saying and and from what you're explaining you were trying to do a U-turn you got rear ended you see what I'm saying you're okay man you're okay okay we're going to make sure that we maintain so that they don't yell at you or get upset I don't think they are cuz I talked to him earlier seems like a nice kid he just I don't think he was paying attention you know what I mean seems like a younger guy uh and you know how people are with cell phones and stuff nowadays good Lord we always have problems with that but that way yeah you guys can both be hearing and then we can have F fre and give all the information and stuff that that'll work I just don't want to see you get in trouble for leaving a scene when you're not really does does that make sense you know what I mean I appreciate it man we'll we'll stay with you and make sure that they don't like get mean with you or anything like that this is Deputy Moy and that's our can9 guy it's uh what's his name what cassinger anyways the only reason we're here is because we help we do like first aid we come and first respond whatever but we Lee aison with other agencies so and I don't the only reason that I'm trying to maintain you is I don't want to see you in trouble if you leave it's leaving the scene of a crime no no he's coming over here so there's no need for that but these are all our uh radio numbers and stuff okay numbers yeah well it's a it's a radio number it's the same thing basically if you say Unit 32 that's me 130 that's Moy and that's uh Kissinger that's that's how we do those does that make sense we have a we don't have an actual badge number we have a radio number I'm sorry you're having to deal with all this but yeah if you would have stopped right there what would have happened is I would have went over and talked to you I would have talked to them and then i' said hey you guys have to maintain here until FHP gets here you wouldn't have be able to leave but I know you had to do some stuff or whatever you came back so here we are I just want to maintain the same thing if you end up leaving here it's considered leaving the scene of a of an accident that's a chargeable offense right so if I go to him we can change information or he can change me yeah and he's coming here now so yeah we can we can deal with that as well huh what's that that's okay okay and like I said I'm just trying to help you out man all right I I know it seems ominous but seriously I'm just trying to help you he's got his hand on a knife back up oh he he cut his throat he cut his throat hey man Drop The Knife drop the knife right now
