the alcohol on your brother on October 19th 2023 the father of a 15-year-old girl named Autumn called 911 when he found her at a friend's house while obviously high on drugs and alcohol what the police uncover when they interrogate her and her new 20-year-old acquaintance Charles Cowart is both shocking and disturbing I've been trying to find my daughter all night and she appears to be inebriated there's another vehicle here and the driver also appears to be inebriated I don't know who he is how's your daughter uh she's 15 what's the male doing uh looks like he's getting in a car

yeah yeah yeah we're we're we're pretty close we're pretty close how long you guys are close how long have you known her though I've known her probably her being autumn autumn yeah um I've known her maybe a couple months couple months since like Jared started dating her okay uh so to my I just talked to AUM uh to my understanding I guess she's been staying at her boyfriend's house I guess she's been having some problems at home or something I heard a little bit about it but like it's not really my business so I don't ask too much about it but I heard her mentioning some stuff like that so like like what just like that she's just been having problems with their mom and stuff like that have you ever chilled at her boyfriend's house at all yeah yeah yeah you spent the night there yeah yeah the last two days have you done that um no I spent there last night that was it last night last night that was it okay uh I know she has a boyfriend and stuff but I guess she was kind of telling us that you were kind of trying to get with her or whatever Autumn yeah saying that I was trying to datal with her yeah what do what do you mean trying to get with her that's what I'm asking you I don't know that's I'm trying to get your kind of we were I wasn't there so I need your kind of Point your perspective her perspective to kind of paint this beautiful picture we call a story your girl said that I was trying to get with her you were no oh okay you're talking to me bro not them you want to talk over there or let's talk over here what was she saying exactly that's what I'm trying to get from you well cuz I never even touched that girl I'm not saying you did I never even touch that girl okay just chill back up back up a little bit she was saying I was trying to like like make moves on her that's one of my best friends and we were around each other the whole time voice that like that no it's just crazy cuz that's serious stuff that's serious stuff right there is pretty serious I'm 19 and she's 15 that's serious stuff but here's the thing though Mr Charles I mean you've already not been truthful with me in the last 3 minutes that we were just talking like what I asked you how long have you known AUM you said a couple days yeah I that was my fault I I slipped up that was my fault and then I ask you again and not 10 seconds later you say oh sep for once yes that was my fault that was my fault we've already established that you've been a little bit untruthful that was my fault that was my fault that was my fault I'm I'm just a little nervous and stuff cuz when you came over here and ask me these questions I just didn't know what it was I'm sorry I'm just nervous and stuff like that I'm I'm sorry I slipped up but I I I I've known her for a little bit yeah okay so why would she and I don't need you to scream and you know blurt out things and yell at them why would she say something like that I have no idea I have no I had absolutely no idea literally no idea she was never around me she she she was I I I I drove my car she sat in the back like she was she was always with her boyfriend I was never around her like that at all I never even touched her were you trying to make moves on her or something or absolutely not absolutely not over at Mr whatever his name is Garden Street did you sleep in the same bed as Jared or where' youle no okay so Jared slept right on the right side of autumn autumn slept on the opposite side and then Bryon right there slept on the o right next to Autumn on the other side I slept on the couch that was right next to the bed by myself completely the whole night I was nowhere near her maybe she might have mistaken him because they were close together on the bed or something but I was nowhere near her so you never asked her to cuddle or anything never why would she say something like that I have no idea cuz she's pretty be honest with you she's pretty um worked up about it you know like she's crying and she she's been drinking and she appears to be high on narcotics and like why is a 15-year-old girl hanging out with a 20-year-old adult and she's drunk high and crying and saying that she's being touched and stuff you know so why that wasn't me I swear on everything I did not do anything to that girl they if anything her boyfriend was the one providing the drinks if I have my own Xanax prescription I found seven of them missing last night after I woke up after I woke up seven of them were missing and I don't know if maybe I went to sleep way before all of them did way before all of them did so I don't know if maybe she possibly went and took my Xanax but her alcohol came from her she got that from her or her boyfriend or something I wouldn't Supply a minor with anything like that ever who got her how does she get drunk then I I don't know I I haven't been seeing her drink I I I I I'm still wondering where my N9 anx went do you ever fall asleep on her or anything like that nope I didn't do nothing I was nowhere near her what like that whatsoever like I said well here here lies the issue you know what I mean so she completed a sworn written statement saying that you did these things you know she's saying that this is why you as an adult you probably shouldn't hang around 15-year-old girls but this is what she's saying right she's saying that you've am I under arrest listen I'm telling you what she said I'm trying to figure out whether or not is true all right she's saying that you you were talking to her you kind of use your hands to talk and you you'd rub against her like you'd lean in when you're talking to her chill out I'm telling you what she said I need you to this is what she's saying to me all right that you've asked her to cuddle that you've called her said she was cute that you've asked her if she's had other friends her age 15 to 17 years old stuff like that uh that you fallen asleep on her on her chest or that your back was on her chest area and she said she's felt very uncomfortable by these things you know uh additionally is this all new to you or that I don't even that is the most like absurd [ __ ] I've ever heard in my entire life none of that happened none of what did happen none of it nothing happened the most I ever did with that girl was dab her up and said goodbye you never like been sitting with her and rusted her head on her shoulder or anything never especially because her boyfriend was always there and that's my best one of my best friends and I would never disrespect him like that and I would never do that just because she's 15 and I'm 19 I'm 19 I'm almost why why are you hanging out with 15-year-olds they're all they're yelling at them you're talking to me I've been using a calm inside voice with you I need you to do the same thing with me they're all minors man they're all under the age of 18 and you're an adult why are you hanging out with a bunch of kids even though you've lied to me already I'm not saying that you're a liar or that you're being un truthful with me but how it looks from my perspective is I respond to a girl that's clearly intoxicated clearly High clearly Shu up by whatever has happened over the last two days right she saying you she said your name that you've done all the things I already mentioned to her I'm like that's pretty Weir why is a 20-year-old hanging out with a a 15-year-old and she's being specific in these things and she's saying that you that you want to get with a bunch of 15 or 17 year olds she's calm down that's what she's saying that you said that that's what she's saying that you said yes you know what I mean so all that come together is pretty suspicious in a reasonable way if you if you will you know what I mean it's pretty weird to me so I just want to know like I swear officer on everything I never did nothing to that girl I swear on everything I love I never I never rested did you do anything that could have been construed and like maybe you did something by accident did you accidentally touch it I might I I might have accidentally brushed my shoulder against her I'm I'm not sexually active right now I'm not sexually active I i' I haven't I haven't had sex in the past two years I'm not saying you you are or anything like that but I'm saying why would she lie about that I don't know that's that's what does she have against you nothing because she was literally just telling me that I could come and stay with her if I needed to you I want to confirm that you said that they already read you your rights and all that good stuff so real quick no Miranda just oh really yeah I thought they said no no he said that but okay so well we got to start all over again and I got to read do this am I under arrest no no because you're detaining a traffic stop you're not free to walk away so you have right you remain silent do you understand you to these rights yes okay now can you tell me about your relationship to um Autumn again please my relationship to Autumn she's a friend M she's a friend that's it nothing more how long have you known her more more of an acquaintance we're not even really friends like that we barely even talk okay I mean I know I already read you Miranda and stuff like that but you said earlier that you guys are really really close so how do we go yeah we're close but like you don't like when we're when we're around each other we don't really talk you know we don't we don't we don't really like so how do we go from We're super super close to oh we I you know I just happened to be around we're acquaintances how do we go from that to this like we don't hang out all the time we don't hang out all the time like it's seldom when we hang out she saying that you've been giving a rise the last two days no I haven't been so Where Did You Sleep the last two days last night I slept at Jared's with Bryson and and um Ashley and cie and um Autumn am I in trouble for this well that's what I'm trying to determine the reason I'm talking to you is because there was a serious allegation made and you've never asked her to cuddle with you or anything never on my mom's life so why would she say that though that's I I don't know I don't know why she would say that I don't know why she would say that because me and her never had any issues any issues whatsoever I'm not saying you guys did but like I said I mean I respond to the scene and I see a little 15-year-old girl that's clearly shooken up intoxicated and crying and clearly disturbed by whatever you did to her is what she's saying you know what I mean she's saying that you roped her she's saying that you called her cute that you've asked her to cuddle that you've rested your head on her shoulders and that she said for you to stop and feel uncomfortable that you've laigh your back on her chest and that she's ask you to stop if she's felt uncomfortable you know The Unwanted touching of someone you know without their consent is battery you know obviously she's a minor she's a juvenile and she's alleging that these things happened she is 15 I am 19 years old so why are we hanging out with 15year olds I mean that's just the the age group that I hang around with because we all we all went to school together we all we all I just graduated and they're about to graduate too they're children and it's 12 11:00 at night you're hanging out that and that's why we were about to go home we were going home okay have you ever smoked weed with these children no you never smoked weed with them never smoked weed with these children I don't share my prescriptions anybody where where are they getting alcohol from I don't know I have no idea I'm not even 21 how much did you drink tonight I didn't drink anything tonight breath breath don't that's that's a lot huh I can smell the alcohol on your breath I can smell the last breathe me right now I've been smelling it the last 15 minutes we've been talking breathe right now I don't have a breathalizer I don't need a breathalizer to tell you that you're intoxicated I could smell it all right I'm telling you your pupil are like as fat as ever like is that from the Xanax is that from no I'm not on anything I'm not on anything so you're telling me your pupil are naturally that dilated yes that's like almost unnatural bro see when's the last time you took something I take my Xanax 1 in the morning like around 8:00 and then one at night around 9:30 and you didn't take any of that today you just you didn't take the one this morning and I didn't take the one yet so no I didn't take any yet okay so you don't know where she's getting this this alcohol I have no idea where the alcohol is coming from I would not supply prescriptions to my nurs anyway especially my pres prescriptions that's illegal okay I can get in trouble I've already been theit I've already been to jail for drug related drug related offenses and [ __ ] I won't do it when you're sleeping over a jar house you said where are you sleeping at I was sleeping on the couch Jared and and and um Autumn were literally sleeping right on top of each other in the bed next to the couch how close was the couch to the bed it's pretty close but like they were on top of each other like how close like touching it but like there's no way like closer than we are yeah she's saying that at that point is when you laid on her and know your back like your back was like on her chest area that was probably Bryson when he rolled over because he was laying on the other side of she said you specifically okay well then she she must be something whatever she took or whatever I don't know what the [ __ ] she's on I did not touch that girl I am 19 years old I or 20 I I am 20 almost almost when do you turn 20 I turned 20 in about a month I mess with girls at least 20 plus but you told me earlier that these are the type these this is the age group that you hang out with that's what you just said to me 10 minutes ago don't hang out with 20year olds you just told me specifically that is the age group of people that you hang out with those are your friends the that that age group right there that age group right there 15 to 17 yes I I hang out with a bunch of different age groups you know well that's not what you said earlier but I I I I I really honestly don't know okay is that all you want to talk to me about is that all you want to say I I am I under arrest I don't know yet I'm asking you is that all you want to say that's that's all I have to say so can you just hold your right hand up for me real quick yes so do you sore from everything that you just said to me verbally is true to the best of your knowledge to the best of my knowledge all right no switch on you're back it's going to be placed under arrest am I what am I under arrest for uh battery um station I'm I'm under arrest for what oh it all be in the arrest for for I'll have to read statute I can't remember the exact uh

as far as your car goes are you cool with one of them driving it or do you want them to want to tow it Charles your girl just said that I arrest I her I we're just going to tell your car I mean that

because of something like that innocent proven guilty my friend so no one said you're guilty let get in there I don't have anything back there right now so anything I find will be on you okay if it's if I find like pills or powders or any dope after you leave this car I'm going to charge you with it cuz there's nothing back here right now all right all right you sure you didn't drink anything yes I can smell it on your breath okay you lying to us call him to question your integrity and that would question your statement whether or not it's true or not okay which is why we need you to be truthful in order for us to go for I mean we're still going to take your statement either way but it's hard for us to rely on a statement of a we're going to swear you to your statement understand if you if you're lying on this statement not to say that you are that would be perjury so how much did you have to drink literally no that much who gave it to you I found it where'd you find it cuz you don't just find alcohol ain't about I just found it where I like on the ground on the ground you just found a sealed bottle of Buzz BuzzFeed or Buzz Light Whatever by the grace of God huh you understand how silly that sounds you think we're you must think we're silly we actually 10 minutes ago we asked you 5 minutes ago and you lied to us several times why I was just scared I'm sorry but we told you you weren't going to get in trouble okay I'm glad we could be truthful about that let's say you're 15 years old you walk into your room and you are parents nipple clamps and lubricants is

felony drug possession felony lewd molestation felony child abuse contributing to the delinquency of a child and Battery he was released from jail 4 days later for pre-trial Services supervision the state filed a no information or intent not to prosecute for the charges pertaining to his interactions with Autumn however the physical evidence is being held for possible further Court proceedings he was also ordered to have no contact with 15-year-old Autumn indefinitely he pled no contest to the drug possession charge for the unprescribed xan ACT found in his vehicle only only one month after being released from jail Charles was booked yet again for driving Under the Influence several more unprescribed pills were found in his vehicle who do you believe in this scenario was Autumn being totally truthful about Charles advances toward her or is she just as untrustworthy as Charles himself be sure to leave your opinion in the comments thank you for watching copcam Nation be sure to like
