everybody right statements so you saw your son come outside outside he said was saying something about a trash can and somebody stealing tools out of his truck he thought somebody was going to steal his uh Tools in his truck that's why he come outside and I said who the heck is going to sto it and then he said uh what's up homie and so I grabbed my machete I said okay I come and help you and that's it that I didn't see it but when I come out and I seen the police I said what the heck is going on mhm and so when I saw you come out the front door because we had info that he was right here yeah and was he already inside or no uh no when I come out here and then after that Jonathan said he said it's up there he told him it's up that way and he run through the gate cuz I he the the gate gate Falls saw to the back and I guess he tried because the we didn't like he didn't like the door and the back so he tried and you nobody can hear it and cuz we always uh I guess he does I always locked it because the dog was outside so I went inside and I said okay come on Shadow I let the dog inside and the door I said oh look J I hope he's not in because the door was open sure enough when Jonathan come in he seen him I was like where so the he told the police I come came out I was like I told you to like the door okay did he try to jump over you guys' f he either he was either our fence or her fence and he went across to right there so he went to that house too yeah he went over there and then did he try to make cont or try to get inside your Residence at any point not that I know of but I think he may have seen us in the backyard because right as as we walked out he must have been jumping the fence okay he broke somebody's bed Ben or something trying to get into their house but other than that I'm not sure they're the ones who called in and said hey some guy said hide me didn't know didn't know it was a cop's house but I mean I mean it didn't matter there was no cop there yeah so but he said hide me and then I guess the son said no get out of here and then he said and then he said can you give me some water and he also was like no get out of here and he just started so that means this has been going on fire to cuz he's the first call he's the first person to call so that means he came through here first M jumped y'all's fence jumped their fence or somebody's fence then jumped over and then they called first and then he kept on booking it down the street he ended up being on we caught him on Tom Sawyer and that area but he made it all the way down toward um like a few streets down from Tom Sawyer he was making some progress he should be glad he out of our backyard before he found them or my dogs found him we were me and my son my oldest son we we were all just you know how old your son 15 okay I'm right 15 and um you we're just talking about Johnny de and I heard bam we from my porch you can see my shed you know I'll show you about there and chickens went crazy and at first I thought he' hit he just comes running you know you just see him and this is where he jumped he jumped from between this bushes in our house and so you saw him oh yeah I saw every bit of it well I thought cuz I seen stuff like under his feet dragging behind him I thought that it was my trash can that sitting right beside the shed that he knocked over but it wasn't it was all the stuff when we walked out there you could see the trail stuff the Christmas tree and [ __ ] had got stuck under his feet and you almost fell but he caught himself so I see
