If it ain't the first then it won't be the last. These are mine. Okay, so here's the only reason why I'm asking you is cuz do you want him to be able to call you when he gets out of county or not? Because if you don't have a cell phone, how's he going to call you? How you going to know y'all? He can use somebody else's phone. That's fine. No problem. I can't control what the victim does. >> here. I don't I don't give a [ __ ] about the charges. It seems my name >> see what I'm saying?

He He didn't murder anyone. It doesn't It doesn't matter. If it's rented under somebody else, he's driving the car. He doesn't not have his license on him. He doesn't have a valid license. >> So, what happens when the person whose name is same is sitting right there? The name is not under you. It's a rental. >> getting There's an agreement, man. >> Okay. Listen to You're not listening to what I'm saying. I'm trying to explain it to you. I'm trying to be as nice as possible without giving you a court date. I'm trying to >> offended. That's why I'm >> I'm trying to. You're pushing my buttons to the point where I'm just going to give you a court date and you're going to have a court date, too. It is what it is because they're willing to prosecute. Do you really want to get a court date for some some food that you you jumped out on with him because he didn't pay the bill? Do you really want that? No, I don't. All I want is respect. That's it. >> So, then, please give me respect, too. That's how we do it. I'll give you respect, you give me respect.

What was the description of the two? Uh a black couple. Okay. Um and we were told they'd be coming back to the property, which is why we uh radioed West Palm Beach police. >> And after y'all came, they didn't come. And then maybe an hour later or so, the couple did show back up and I radioed my coworker who was able to come down and positively ID them. Okay.
