not a lot of movement right except for this oh so the way we do this you put it all the way out get all the slack out of here you're going to hear a ratchet sound right hear that ratchet sound yeah that means it's locked so if we let it go in and then we pull his seat nice and tight so it doesn't move now if you get into an accident you hit your brakes or something like that that's that's not

getting off so easily all right Jesse so let me get this straight this bag that was in your lap belongs to a friend of a friend is he good to go yeah you're good man is that correct okay so do you mind if I search that bag well I just Lo to my friend it's in your possession it's your property is there anything illegal in there I should know about I don't know so you're holding the bag for a friend of a friend but you don't know what's in there I don't know what's in there so why are you holding a bag that you don't know what's in there you know that doesn't make any sense whatsoever what are you into Jesse that I should be worried about nothing cuz I'm not going to transport that bag until I find out what's in it I don't know they said it's a friend of a friend it's not mine okay all right well you do have a war all right so you're going to go to jail for that yeah okay now I'm going to make sure that there's nothing explosive or anything that's going to harm me or hurt me or blow us up in that bag the second I see something illegal I'm going to get a search one for that bag and it's going to be yours because I'm pretty certain there's something in that bag you don't want me to know about [Music] now a little bit to your right a little bit there we go you want this oh yeah don't smoke and drive yes sir everything else [Music] good I'm not calling you okay all right I'm going back to the office [Music] yeah meod stuff here the officer mentions methadone and finds a large stack of cash in the bag before Jesse is whisked away to jail where he decides it's time to come clean what am I going to find in the back probably like um like uh probably like stuff that's personal use cuz I use it you know like kind of like probably a little bit of drugs cuz I use drugs you know what kind of drugs huh what kind of drugs like drugs we're talking about D you say drugs drugs are a d does it like if you say method method be prescribed to you that's a type of Dr if you're talking marijuana okay cool that's weak it's legal but you still can't have it cuz you're 21 like well kind of like nothing cuz when I got an aqu cookie they got me off like a meth cuz I was kind of like more drugs you see what I mean cuz I was doing drugs drugs just what kind of drug drugs like black and stuff so blacks you know what I mean like I was on the streets for the long time we sayy f just the pills on the streets cuz I was stuck on the streets for the longest time and with one of my homeless friends and I was just stuck there you knows look there's nothing like I'm not judging you whatsoever okay but if you're telling me m yeah know I us everything I pry much smok everything you see what I mean okay so there's going to be me supposed to be to me from I bought some friends I was trying to KI hold on so is the methodone in the is it the ones that prescribe you or the on you follow friend well I kind of a friend off the you know when I got out me mess me message when I got out you got a friend get you some more yeah rehab all that and then you said black that's black that is that yeah and said you also did like just like I M Ki for yeah you know well you doesn't work you got blues you got black you got black do that stuff yeah you can't kick it if you're using it on top of me yeah well I haven't really been you know like I used it like know just I've been trying I've been using just method so inside the we've got method black F anything else that's the for now cuz I got kicked out of my Grandma's not that long ago I had the keys in like the the thing with a bunch of keys and that's my grandma you know that to house like none of those are after obtaining a search warrant police allegedly found cocaine heroin fenol money and quote other items used in trafficking illegal drugs in that bag we saw earlier so why didn't you tell me that a friend of a friend then cuz I can't just leave it in the car he's not claiming it so I can't leave it with him so you said you possessed it for a friend of a friend so I have to take it so why lie to me I get being scared I get it I get that being scared of cops I get that crap trust me I don't wear this uniform all the time I get pulled over on a six stet black man what do they going to I get that I get being scared but I never lie so that's what's confusing to me is why Jesse was booked for multiple counts of drug trafficking distribution of a controlled substance violation of cannabis trafficking regulations and cited for not wearing a seat belt at last check the 19-year-old appeared in court in July and his case disposition was later transferred
