You have no tail lights, a headlight out, windshield's cracked, you don't have a rearview mirror, no seat belt, your registration suspended. I don't know what happened. You don't use no methoin? No. Blues. Right now is the time to be completely honest with me. If you're saying there's nothing, I find something. Cuffs. Yep. We got a fire. You said you guys did throw the grease trap in there. That's not good. Join us as we ride along with the nation's bravest alpha responders. This is Alpha Responder Network. [Music] A little clap. Go time, huh? Pop is in. There you go.

I am uh Deputy Robert Vescus. I work for Leaz County Sheriff's Department and I have been employed here for 6 months. Um, total law enforcement just uh just over four years. It was actually dispatched to fire, but it came over our transmission. Uh, a fire at Roadrunner is what it came out at first. Turn around. Code three or we're gone. I copy information. The dumpster is on fire. It's still contained at this time. Once we're rolling, we're trying to get there. They let us know it's a dumpster fire at the entrance. At that point, it's we're gonna go just to make sure, you know, there's no vehicles around the dumpster. See if we can put it out ourselves to to help fire. Yep. We got a fire at a fire at Roadrunner, a dumpster fire that's contained, I guess. Um, so lucky for us, I got a fire extinguisher. So, we will try to extinguish the fire ourselves and let the firefighters sleep. We know that's important for them. We get there, it's a dumpster fire. It's smoking. You know, we got a couple workers there that are that are putting it out. Actively burning. right now. Oh, here we go. You guys got a staircase or something? I can trench it with this. Let's get this done before the firefighters get here. Huh? Yeah. Dirt in there and everything. Okay. I don't know where it's burning at. What do you think? What do you think caused it? No idea. Nothing. You don't know? And we threw We had thrown bags in there for a few minutes. So, no idea. They're probably coming, huh? Yeah. Things happen, man. It's all right. Couldn't tell you what it was. I mean, the boys threw they threw bags in there maybe six, seven minutes prior. Really started smoking. I went to the bathroom, did a whole another round of trash, and then I come out, they're like, "Hey, the dumpster's on fire." Okay. What do you mean? I thought it was cuz we threw the grease, so I thought it was the grease trap. I was like, "That's not good." Yeah. I was like, "Please don't tell me you guys are going up there to a grease fire with water." Oh, man. Yeah. Right. Right. Throw some dirt on that. Yep. You said you guys did throw the grease strap in there. No, the grease trap is right here. Oh, on the side. Okay. Okay. So, there's no grease in there. No. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. You got you guys you guys kept it from you know what I mean getting out of hand. So you guys are putting in some work. Man, there's one place ain't no shovels back there. Luckily there was some buckets in there some dirt in there. Yep. The trash can full of water. I mean we try to help out. We try to do what we can do. Um, we have a lot of respect for the fire guys, you know what I mean? They're we're all in this together. We all work with hand in hand. Um, so we try to help them out when we can, you know, try not to wake them up either from their beauty sleep. That's a joke, man. I got all respect for firefighters. [Music] We seen a van driving by.

Um but I'll I'll help you out a little bit. Okay. Um I really try not to drive at night. It's mostly in the daytime to go to the store and back. But as far as it goes, you shouldn't be driving this thing ever. Okay. This is this is a good vehicle to look at if I was in the police academy and I was showing people this is not to drive a good vehicle to do a traffic stop on. Okay? Because this vehicle, this is what you see and you say, you know what, I want to go get a traffic stop. Boom. You see that car, it's free game, man. Okay? Um don't put yourself in that position to where you are getting pulled over. Okay? Um because now it's just going to be a financial burden on you, right? Um tickets, court appearances, and stuff like that, man. You know what I mean? It it can all be negated by having your stuff in order. Okay, get your sell this thing and go buy another car. You know what I mean? That's probably the best option. That's going to be a lot of money to fix everything. Sell it to somebody for cheap. I don't even know, bro. I don't I I don't know what I would buy it for. Get it together. Okay. Um, you shouldn't be driving this thing, especially in the daytime, man. You know what I mean? Because there's I feel like there's more cops out in the daytime. All right. Um, I'm gonna help you out tonight. You are going to get a ticket for some of these violations, but I'm going to help you out. Okay. Okay. Um, I'm not here to ruin your life or anything like that. So, I don't kick people when they're down. I'm not that kind of person. I'm not that kind of officer. So, at that point, it was just it was it was I was trying to help him out. I was trying to help him out but keep him responsible at the same time. Your driver's license is valid though. Yes. So that is Yes. That's good. That is good. Do you have an email address? No, I don't. Okay. Does your brother have an email that I could send this to? Um, you have an email address? Um, I do, but I don't know the password to it. No, you just J. uh atgmail.com. Okay. Um Mr. Do you know your social off top? You know what I just noticed? My dispatch let me know that you were expired. The registration was expired, but it's not. Um so that leaves you with seven violations instead of eight. Okay. Okay. Um seven. Is happy your dog's name? Yes. Okay. Um, you have seven things going wrong. Okay, but I'm going to site you for two of them. All right. Um, displaying a license plate that is suspended for financial responsibility. Okay. And not having your driver's license in possession. You have a valid driver's license, but you have to have it in your possession when you're behind the wheel. So, we'll we'll just do that. Okay. I'm going to help you out a little bit. Um, and that's what we're going to go with tonight. Okay. That's fine. Thank you. To pay the fines, you just get in contact with the courthouse. The courthouse is going to be Leaz County Justice Court. Okay. Um, all the information is going to be on this ticket. So, I have your brother's email here and I'm going to email this to him. Okay. So, you will have to get into his email to find your ticket. If you cannot get into his email for whatever reason, um, just go down to the courthouse. Okay. The courthouse. Do you know where the courthouse is at in town? Yes. The one by the fire station? Yes. The justice court? Yes. Okay. They'll provide you with a copy. Okay. Or come to our department and we will provide you with a copy. Okay. I just don't have a printer set up in here. Um, so that's why I'm going to email it. Okay. Okay. Are you going to take it or No, I'm not going to take it. I'm not going to take it this time. Okay. I'm I'm I'm going to help him out. I'm not going to let you guys take it home, but I'm not going to sit here and watch you all night. Okay. If you guys decide to drive it away, this guy's working in town and we have Parker PD working in town, too. Okay. So, you're going to be chancing it if you decide to drive it. Okay. Can we move it to safe place parking lot? Cuz these guys don't these guys will tow it. Sure. As long as you go to the Safeway parking lot. Okay. Cool, man. All right. Thank you, man. Appreciate that, bro. Man, thank you, man. You, too. He was a cool guy. He was He was super cool. Uh, very respectful. My job is not to go out and hammer people and ruin people's lives, right? We had seven or eight violations. My job is not to sit there and say, "You're getting cited for A B CDE EFG." Um, in this world, what what you give is what you get. you know, it's going to come back on you. And me having this power and having this, uh, ability to, you know, write tickets and, you know, um, I know that it comes with a financial burden. Um, and somebody who's living in their car obviously is, you know, they might need a little bit of help. So, I felt like we were pretty, uh, pretty helpful there. And he'll hopefully learn his lesson and and get his get his car taken care of. Heat. Heat. [Music]
