what's has happened in Minneapolis like I said I've been pulled over threatened by your fellow officers I've been threatened before I went into court to testify about her striking me down with her car by an officer I just I can guarantee you that's not going to happen tonight and I've been a lot of things guaranteed like for example Walker said Sergeant Amy Walker said that she was going to do something and instead it turned into hey you know so so you don't want to see we we're trying to well I'll let sge talk to here but there there was a shooting to happen out here which has nothing to do with me right that's why we want to get you interviewed get you on here get me right here we're not yeah it's up to the detectives to do that well if they want to call me up whatever but I've been here the whole time I don't know what happened out there I'm not do you have your idea you said there was a you said there was a shooting I didn't even hear gunshots phone number what's do you guys want to hear the recording I still have it on from Amy yep I don't that's that's not for us to I mean like you got to think about it I've been threatened by other people that have been involved with my ACT whether physically or whatever I've been you know Amy Walker said a conversation never even happened yeah which happened I mean I've been um so I mean I've been threatened more than once by Minneapolis police officers so I mean it's I want nothing to do with when was that that happened like years ago long time ago that come right down that's not going to be an option I'm sorry that that was provided to you but I'm letting you know right now that and I'm asking would you be willing to go down there otherwise we're going to taking cffs I didn't do anything though I understand that but you're still here this is where it happened we just need to talk with you so would you put everybody here in CS sir that doesn't make sense I'm asking you politely would you be willing to go or do we have to do it in handcuffs Tim like I said my partner and I would take you down there everything's going to be rolling on camera everything will be fine I've been threaten by pleas so many times because you guys are you guys are her friends man you guys are coers and I've been sitting here the whole time that's so unfair that's it's completely unjust okay sir what I'm going to ask you do is put your hands on your back go can I drive can I follow you guys in between two cars no sir so can we please do this now sure okay step on no can I sir please this is a big deal as far as I know I'm sure you know too but I know probably less than you well I was this told that she got shot in the neck so I don't know I mean they say she's okay so that's good okay you know more than I do are there any other vehicles on file or is this this is it this m yeah this is mine this your only car yeah what wait what do you mean is this is your only car no no I have a Dodge Challenger too okay it's it's under a tarp though go can't drive otherwise it's going to get po holes and up the rims and do all that Tim sorry we met under the circumstance all right I just wish the same enthusiasm that you guys are using for one of your own that you guys would use for little black 5-year-old oh that's been getting molested I I don't know anything about that I'm just saying I wish I the same enthusiasm was used for that little boy that you guys are using right now like I have no idea what happened or anything and then I'm you know I don't like the way to be honest with you I like the way I was lied to tonight I mean I'm glad you know that you guys turned out to be honest and I'm glad the guy gave me back my phone but I literally sat down with him in front of him saying see dude I got nothing to hide but I can't leave this here I don't I just wish the same enthusiasm when youed my son understand Tim have a good night despite their efforts investigators were struggling to find any leads on Tim the next day Nikki woke up unable to speak she communicated with investigators by by writing she was clear she believed her ex-boyfriend Tim Amaker was behind the attack Nikki was convinced that Tim had orchestrated the shooting though she couldn't say who the shooter was she strongly believed that the attacker had been a woman not a man despite the lack of physical evidence tying Tim to the crime she had no doubt he was involved with this new information police brought Tim in for a second interview but there's some uh details in there that uh we kind of wanted to go through more absolutely is there a reason why you guys just couldn't call me in and say versus well um there's some now I got two dogs that are we'll get we'll get we can get into that okay um and I'm sure you might have a very good explanation for any of any and all of it any and all of what well we'll get into that but because you have been brought in in custody you do have certain rights I'm sure you're aware of them but you know you have the right for remain silence mhm anything you say Canon will be used against you in court MH you have the right of the presence of an attorney to assist you prior to enduring questioning if you so desire MH and if you can't afford attorney you won't be appointed for you without cost okay you understand all those right yeah okay so well what we kind of want to get into is uh there's some details that have come out in this investigation and they kind of link to you well of course I'm going to be the first guy you guys look at well yes you do have you you do have a motive I don't have any motiv well there's a custody thing right no the custody thing is over with it's all over with all that's over with okay um isn't it true that she has custody yeah okay so if you wanted custody wouldn't that be a motive motive for what if she's not around now you have custody of the child correct no her parents would get custody is that the way it was in the courts I believe I don't isn't that what happens no CU you're the biological father you could take that to cour I don't know you could fight it I have no money to fight okay so so I I guess what we want to do is my motive is my my direction hasn't changed and I can show you guys emails right now is to um show I've talked to press just like I'll be talking to him about what happened to me this morning but I've been talking to the Press I've been talking to other outside uh entities BLM and other ones about what her and that referee have done to me and what have done to my son okay so well and and we're aware bringing something to light is way better than any violence willever do anybody and I'm trying to bring the situation to light all right well then you'll you'll appreciate what's going on here all right um because then you might have some information regarding it I do if you guys talk to Sergeant Amy Walker once again I have multiple times told her that Nicole has admitted and I gave her the evidence so s Jam Walker has it of Nicole tampering with with evidence before a long time ago um I I said this is going to go this way I said she's already having people spray paint her house um people following her I had two um when she was dating a couple of guys in MPD um one of the guys current girlfriends two of them came to my studio to look for her um she talked to one of them the other one she has a recording of um and I told Sergeant Amy Walker that plus the plus I gave her the evidence of Nicole admitting that she's tampered with EV okay so there's a lot of people out there yeah I I actually but let's let's let's go we're going to give you some information here and and maybe that might help shed some light to you okay all right so one of the things that kind of concerned us is that night when you talk to Sergeant Benner uh which sergeant Sergeant bner would have been at the scene a black he's the guy that okay but when you talk to Sergeant Benner he asked asked you what type of vehicles you want he didn't let me finish he just s asked me walked away so I started talking about a Hellcat and then that was pretty much it he didn't let me finish I have two motorcycles I have a truck that I don't really consider mine it's on lease okay um and then I have a Jeep that's in the shop right now um so the Jeep the jeep that you had at the scene that night yeah correct shop yeah okay so the that truck is the one that is is kind of of interest to us okay because we can it and look look at it look through no but the reason is because that truck we can put that at the scene and we can put that as the shooter's vehicle there's no way oh there there is there's video of the truck oh yes and the suspect so let me kind of explain this to you here so basically I don't know if you're familiar this is kind of the technology thing is kind of over my head but your truck this is your truck here right your name this is only Ru DBS I don't know if that's the VIN number but we'll just say hypothetically yes okay so this is what DVS says that the your truck is VIN number yep and then you currently have a temporary plate on it that right okay so that's temporary plate number okay so provid right I have new plates coming in so those ones are um but provided all this is correct this one I don't have okay all right so but you do have this black truck black truck correct and that's the one you were just stopped in correct what what happened with that is we did it in administrative subpoena and you can see that the numbers are the same as far as the VIN number so what happens with the administrators of pen is they went in and they basically gave that particular number and there's this thing called an imsi okay that number is imsi is associated to that truck okay okay it's kind of like a phone has a little deal on it to set it so that number there comes from that okay okay we then in turn did a search warrant and you can see that the numbers correspond and so the search warrant is done for that number the imsi okay okay what that does is it gives us a running location of the vehicle okay so leally a Tracker no that's how they find time no understand how that that's so that's what we did okay now we did that because of the fact that at the scene we had so this is a picture right here that's not my truck uh the truck coming up there that's not my truck dead giveaway right here I have Superman logos okay well where'd you get those um uh I got them a while ago I long long time ago I mean from Amazon or what did you get um I'd have to look and when did you put those super um those were on jeez I don't know I could try and locate an exact B for you guys if you guys want okay well this roughly I don't know a month a day uh a week I want to say maybe to this event maybe two weeks two weeks before I think I think I don't quote me cuz I I don't want to get all whatever over on Logo but I don't think this is also my truck has a GT right here too okay now the Superman are they magnets or what is it so no they're stick on but the GT comes Factory right so the GT so I don't once again there's no GT here there's no logo here so is there any is there any way for that to be faked no are you sure pictures no no no no the IMs no okay cuz I don't see a GT and the GT comes on from the f Factory okay when let me ask you this when did you actually pick up the truck not when you got the lease going but when did you actually physically take possession of that truck um the truck was actually delivered at my um delivered to me well when I would have to look at that too I approximately jeez cuz you got it down sh a be correct they're the ones that delivered it yes yeah yeah yeah um IID have to look to see the ex I mean but that's has to figure it out too well was got I don't I know but I don't want to get I mean did you get it did you get it a month ago did you get it a week ago you get it six months ago um I've had it maybe 6 months ago I don't know you guys have you guys should have all that exact information well I would I wouldn't doubt any of that information and all I'm saying is there a way to fake that because there's no way that truck could be there if I'm there with my Jeep well that's another question who else has access to the truck uh colen has access to it is she the only one um to my not knowled I mean I don't know if somebody can steal the keys I mean like for example the reason why I went down to um change the plate is cuz somebody stole my my front plate off and they stole the back frame off what do you mean by you went down to change the plate um so they stole my so originally if you guys look up that truck it has old temporary plates on it right mhm so the old temporary plates were stolen off the truck what what was that um I don't there I I couldn't even tell you what that place is I can tell you what all my custom plates are cuz they're custom okay but I can't tell you what all the the other ones are so someone stole the plate off there so I just went down to the DMV and they said it's been happening a lot okay and what did you when did when did that happen was that oh it's nothing for me to be concerned about because it's just I mean it's it doesn't really matter anyways you didn't report it no it's just it's a temporary little deal but when did that happen I guess in relationship to the shooting I don't even know like weeks ago weeks before the shooting weeks ago like weeks upon weeks ago okay and when did you get the the replacement um a day or two days before that before the shooting yeah and you put the replacement on yeah so you had the replacement on it yes on the back and you ever take them take them back off again for any reason two spikes on so the spikes are hard to even screw on in there just on the rear correct yes yeah you only did one to do you remember where you did that at um at home or at dojo no was at the studio at the studio cuz I went to City Hall and from City Hall so you're thinking sometime in March if we're going off of when the what when this happened as far as you getting the new ones to replace no no no no it was it was a day or two before that I went into City Hall okay this happened on the 20th so it be on the 19th or the Monday Monday or there's a receipt from City Hall too I mean so I can pinpoint that exact I can get you guys I don't want to be so in in in family court if I was an hour off oh see you're lying you're I'm like it's a I'm freaking an hour off so I don't want to be caught up an hour or two or some days and I can go back and get you guys the exact day the exact time I rather if that makes sense yeah so let's go back to who who has access to the truck so Colleen for Access does she have her own Keys her own set um there's two sets one set is busted what's what do you mean like the uh the it's the F or yeah the fob is busted so when the dogs got hit it okay yeah but does that mean it can't be started without the five I have no idea cuz my car is a five but I also has a key those don't have that's what I mean I don't know about your truck I don't think I don't I don't know cuz what is your truck Doge 20 20222 according to that yes 22 23 I don't know all right so does it have like the push button thing is that the way it starts okay so I just keep you just have to have the fob and you push the button okay so I guess just so you understand how this how we get to the fact that your vehicle is involved in this is because we were able to capture video from basic 350 ft from your house all the way to the shooting scene and that also tracks with the imsi so if you look at this here you live up here and so is there way that somebody could have taken the vehicle right well you live there right yep let's go through this first so basically we got a video camera that shows it I don't deny any of this okay like I don't I don't know how it's possible but well we can think that's the M okay okay and I mean I'm showing you this because I know you have a trust of distrust of the police but there's a picture of the truck okay okay here's another picture of the truck yeah these are all cameras yeah yeah okay so you can see that we're tracking that it was tracked yeah that's fine okay so again and can I see those real quick sure so not only can we track it to that location TR we can track it back to that exact location from the house yeah that's fine okay M and the imsi how come I'm not seeing GT or the logos or anything well as far as the GT uh the GT's Factory comes on from the factory so let's say we can argue and say oh the Superman things were stuck on there quick right I still don't see the GT okay well and the thing about video and moving Vehicles is it's harder to see things that are not is this GT in a different color is it like white no but you can see it from a mile away I mean it's it's so I don't I don't know all right so basically from the imsi there are that's fine that's fine and here's what you have to understand fine there are no other trucks on that video okay that match that this is the only truck okay yeah so that leaves us with I guess basically this isn't my truck there's another big giveaway there's I don't see any box the box is like really can I see the other ones yeah I I I know what you're saying I've seen we got pictures I've seen different ones that okay so it does have the box on it yeah yeah okay so again what I'm telling you is the imsi this is the truck okay there's no doubt it's the truck so is there any way that I don't know so what we're kind of trying to figure out here then is is how is that possible you know like you're saying that this has something to do with Jamal clarks's I think stuff well how why you got to talk to Sergeant Amy Walker about all that stuff I gave the information and I walked away with it like I said there's recordings of her admitting that she tampered with evidence I don't know why nobody really cares about that I don't know if that's because that's an inside deal do you guys work for the Minneapolis Police yes MH oh see so this conversation is probably I mean I already have okay you I mean I already have ask you do you have something to do with J Clark no I have nothing to do with them okay but I mean if something Happ anybody who would have have access to your truck that has do with that Jamal Clark so it' be perfect for somebody to try and set me up the only they're only I mean it'd be too perfect for somebody trying and set me up so you think this is a setup I don't know what it is but I know that I was under lock and key the whole time with my son so I don't I don't get so you're family wise so let me ask you this is there any reason why Colleen would want to shoot Nicole oh hell no she wouldn't hurt anybody's a freaking baby's head I mean she um plus the timeline wouldn't even really match for her to do anything anyway cuz she works she she teaches okay well that's where the problem comes as well okay CU we also got warrants on your phone and her phone that's fine so we can track your locations and her locations okay okay now did you use that truck earlier in that day for example around 12:09 uh lar during snowing were you around that area I don't know if I had the jeep or the truck so on so on those days cuz the dogs I transport the dogs in the truck right um but I mainly use the jeep whenever I can so on those days I always um cuz she has to take I take want I take the little puppy with me and then she usually take the big dog with her so it's easier to I can manage both dogs but she doesn't feel comfortable managing both dogs um so I'll take the little puppy with me take her out kindor go to family wise and then get back and on kindor sometimes Colleen is there um when I get back sometimes she's not sometimes grocery shopping but she teaches class um at the TA wond facility which I have cameras at the TA wond facility if you guys want to use them you guys can have access to them so well let me let me continue here though with uh so just to I guess refresh your memory your phone was in the area of 12 or sing so like at around 1209 y I would doubt it and at that point in time we also have that truck at that location okay okay yeah I would I wouldn't doubt that I mean so you wouldn't you wouldn't contend that you weren't there and you weren't driving the truck at that time not contend that at all I mean elter I think that's when I dropped off a pair of jeans at um the golden Taylor the golden Taylor okay so you you dropped the pair of jeans out there where's the golden Taylor Lexington and or larpenter and whatever larpenter and S not area yeah so there goes liquor store go how about how about the vet you stop the vet oh yeah yeah yeah sorry y so I went to the vet because uh um Nova she had her what's it called what is it called what's it called get a shot okay how about that okay get a shot okay so let me tell you this as well we have pictures from that location in which there is no Superman logo there should be and and there's no GT either there's no PL it looks just like these pictures really mhm I don't know so now that's basically what seven and a half hours before she gets shot uh like I said you guys can call City Hall I mean I put that sucker right on so that's why we asked you earlier for is it possible that Cen took the plate off you think the plate your plate was on at that time I don't think no I don't think she would take the pl off I don't go out I don't go out all right so let's say this I don't go and check for my plates every single time like I didn't even know the plate was missing the the other one until somebody told me okay so I mean I don't so it could have been missing and you wouldn't have known it correct I mean it's I mean it's not like their actual real plate so I don't really care about I'm waiting for my RO place to come in let me ask you about your relationship with Colleen so how how long have you known her I've known her for quite some time I mean years um well let's let me let me go a little further is there a reason then that Colleen maybe was trying to protect uh your son because let's let's let's finish this here okay um so the phone records put you basically going back to your your business okay and uh I believe it was roughly between like uh 2:30 and 4 you're at your business okay okay Colleen comes over to the business around 3 okay now at that point in time when you went to the business the truck also goes to the business okay and the truck stays there yeah now you leave and I think it was roughly around 4ish yeah and you end up going to your house M and you're at your house from I don't remember exact numbers but maybe 4:30 to 510 at which point in time you and your your phone then heads over to familywise yeah that make sense you'd agree with that absolutely okay and you were driving not the truck at that point in time never I never drive the truck over there okay so you're driving the jeep jeep so why do you never drive the truck over there is there a reason yeah so that the big dog can go with the colen because the big dog doesn't really okay so it's thing the dog okay so then the truck leaves there at the the fitness place at roughly uh 655 yeah could leave it at 7 so it's clean's phone okay so her in the truck go from there to your house okay and then at that point in time the truck goes from your house over to the shooting well what about cen's phone her phone stayed at home okay that's she she she was at home her phone was at home but your truck wasn't but your truck her truck wasn't so basically what we have is we have her at the truck I can show you video footage of her being at the house I have cameras all on my house okay you guys want see those we we pulled already we got it we're searching your house and the business currently so but we're just trying to get from you how does this make sense because your truck there's no doubt your truck's involved in this okay okay there's no doubt Colleen's driving your truck from the business to your house and then somehow your truck leaves the house almost immediately after hitting the house and goes to do the shooting I don't I don't know guys I don't know what you want me to say I I would say I well you're getting educated man you're smart yeah what would what what do you think what do you think happen I would say I don't want to guess on anything for the simple fact if I were to guess a lot of stuff I would I mean like I would I would guess some things with I I want to guess I want to guess on this who do you think took your truck from your house I don't know and went to shoot uh Nicole I have no idea who would have a reason to do that who lives at your house yeah this this no one at my house would have a reason to do that she works for you guys that's the stupidest thing you do that works for the Timothy it's not a robbery that's it's not a carjacking and me we have the incident on it's on video and it's a female and here's what we're we're really worried about and we need you to explain that it's not the case is that somehow you conspired with cleen to do this so that you'd have a rock solid Alibi no think about it you got a perfect Alibi I'm okay with that you guys can show my truck and I'm willing to cooperate and do what you guys want I but I'm not going to draw what what what what what you think about this I think it's a situation how can how can you I would never thought in a million years that my my truck would be at the scene and and who do you think is driving your truck I have no idea how do you think your truck got to there I have no idea I have no idea you you as an educated man you as an educated as as an educated man I'm not going to draw a conclusion to something that Colleen is not capable of in my my eyes your truck's there it's a female suspect this is a straight up execution attempt there's no robbery there's no carjacking so who like Ser Jensen said who logically would would want to pull this off you guys would have to talk to Nicole and literally sit her down not now Nicole already has given us some um her Insight that's fine but who's who's in the other room I okay she doesn't she doesn't have an inner system to do that man she really doesn't well she had your truck I don't think she I don't think she has did you see how this looks though I can see how you can I can I can see how it makes it look absolutely and I don't think that was my truck I don't we told you how the data let's go back let's let's try this even without and even if it is so all right so let's say that the phone let say the numbers don't lie right let's say the numbers don't lie and the phone data doesn't lie yeah correct but then the phone keep you said the the phone never left the house which there is evidence of her being there's evidence of her phone being there yeah there have Camas on my house there should show her in the house right now yeah where you guys have it okay so if you leave and we take you somewhere else does that mean you didn't go somewhere else well huh no okay so just cuz your phone stayed here no I get what I get what you're saying or somebody thought about this why would somebody just leave their phone at home and drive off on a truck I don't think I really don't and try to commit murder I don't think that is can I ask you about can I ask you about your guns mhm so it sounds like you have several correct okay how many I don't know come on man really I really let's see here I have a 556 223 which is basically the same caliber 307 oh wait that's my caliper um uh I have a lot handguns I have hand guns too y nine um I have a nine 357 uh 45 22 checking my gun knowledge now 357 nine 9 45 you said a 22 mhm I don't think I have the 22 anymore though I don't think I have the 22 anymore okay there's a couple I don't have you know if clean on guns I was going to say did you take it to the range to shoot no no I've never taken the range but uh um yeah she just she didn't like the whole experience with the the class from what I recall when was the last time you uh went to the range oh jeez man it's been forever cuz I can't carry my guns on me so I just storm at my house for now all right I Noti you didn't mention the 380 in there do you know if you there's two 380s I don't I don't own either one of them anymore you got rid of them yep was that kind what kind of 380 um one was a Ruger and then one was a Sig so the Ruger was geez over oh my God if you guys can go back and check it it's it was like basically a couple months after I bought it and then I don't remember as a long time ago I mean years ago years ago we're talking now who do you usually buy your guns from or through uh two places um Al's Gun store and where's that one Al's he's like the oldest gun store one of the oldest gun stores in Minnesota um he's right down the street from my studio okay so white bear um no it's um it's not white bear it's not technically bad in his Heights there's like a little thing in between them okay um so um um and then the Sig uh Nicole had I gave to her like four or five years ago or something like that so she had a shotgun um when she first uh came to me talking about when she tampered with evidence that's when she changed her name on social media she shut down a bunch of her accounts you guys were doing extra rounds for her house um she did her conceal and carry around the same time I gave her the Sig and then uh I brought a shotgun over to her house as well too so the shotgun I do have underneath my bed um cuz I got that back but um but yeah so the so she has that one Steve has the Ruger um he bought that one and what about the second 380 did you say when you got rid of that no but you said you got rid of them both correct correct so when did you the second one I don't think you mentioned when Steve had the first one that's like a couple months after I bought it and then Nicole had the other one that I gave to her as a present okay and she never gave it back mm so you're saying cleen does not carry right now no uhuh no and you don't know where to have no she doesn't have a gun but would she have access to your guns in the house no she doesn't even know where my guns are where are they um one is underneath my bed but the rest oh H him I'll bring you to him right now if you want to see him they're out there right now we just don't why want my house being all torn apart man well that's pretty that's why we we if you tell us then they wouldn't have to tear it apart to find them um I mean they hidden that well no I don't think so I think they'll end up finding them I mean so my house is going to be torn apart right now well there's SE it okay again the evidence looks like that this is some kind of conspiracy 3 hours before the attack Tim Amer met his girlfriend Colleen Larsson they swapped vehicles Tim took the Jeep to familywise for his visit while Colleen drove the black Dodge Ram after the shooting Colleen returned the truck to their home in St Paul following a similar route surveillance footage along the way captured a female driver matching Colleen's build behind the wheel of the truck an FBI agent traced their movements using cell phone data and the truck's Wi-Fi with Ironclad evidence quickly mounting against him investigators now just need to find a way to convince Tim to tell the truth with Colleen being questioned just doors away Tim is quickly becoming more combative in his conversations with police okay so do you think she could be capable of doing something like this to Nicole in order to help you out or Advance your relationship no uh um all right so you had nothing to do with uh conspiring or telling Colleen no to commit this crime no so her committing this crime would be completely on her own I if she did what he's saying and you didn't plan this out together I know there's nothing that me and her have done to go against Nicole I mean Nicole has made my life I feel like you guys had a buddy buddy talk with her to be H if I'm going to be honest and now you guys are bringing me through the ringer for something that I had nothing to freaking do with Nicole is a problem for you no she's so she's not a problem for me per se I feel like she's a problem for uh my son and I feel like she's a problem well wouldn't that be a problem then no uh-uh so if she were out of the picture that would do any no it wouldn't do any good to anybody it wouldn't do any good do no good zero zil I mean what good am I going to do okay so we all know technology today like I'm not even surprised at any of this right so technology today you guys are going to find who [ __ ] did this period what what good way we did find who did it she in that other room right over there oh there's no way she did it man I don't think so there's no she doesn't have she doesn't have a [ __ ] bone in her body you explain to me then well I mean how many people can print off keys I don't know I mean I literally so guys so you think somebody print off keys to go kill Nicole I that that that's that's what you want us to believe I don't I don't know what and brought the truck back and brought the truck back okay so let's you have cameras all I'm telling you is I don't think she has it in Her Bones to do anything like that okay and you had nothing to do with any explanation or telling her let's go do this no I want to do it on this particular day and time so that I got an Albi no nobody will ever suspect you no so she tells us something different you're basically saying she's lying no you didn't answer my question are you going to say that she's lying that I don't I don't think she's going to say that man so that wasn't the question that's not going to come out I don't think that convers it's not going to Happ I mean no she didn't do this I know I had nothing and she's not going to say that you put her up to it there's no hey man like I said I've been I would have lawyered up by now I would have never cooperated in the beginning I wouldn't be cooperating now let's be honest here you guys have each other's backs I mean I have people that are in law law enforcement that I know too and I've heard stories you guys have each other's back plain and simple you guys are family you guys do your thing just like within my own Community we're a family we have our own thing and let me tell you this year we have why would I have somebody put we have each other's PL back as long as it's a lawful thing just because you have a badge on doesn't mean you're a criminal with a badge okay there's good there's there's good people and bad people like right now I I think from the vibe I'm getting with you guys you guys are fine you guys are are good right but there's most definitely good cops and bad cops just like there's good judges bad judges there always bad apples yeah there's no doubt about it there's bad apples mhm I'm not going to argue with that can I can I be I mean can I be released well we're going to see what happens when we talk to after we talk okay is there any way that I can make a couple phone calls to my clients and say hey guys I'm not going to be there for a while can I please that once we get done figuring out what's going on with clean we'll figure out what we're going to do and then so there can't be so I'm once again I'm being cooperative can you guys give me a little bit of mutal respect back I think they're going to kind of figure something's up when the police are out there searching your business okay and they're going to go home so they're going to kind of figure something out um you don't necessarily need to to tell them right now you'll be able to explain it to them later but right now we're going to we're going to finish our process yeah I know mine I believe that you guys are treating me way differently because of who she is and whoever she's telling you that I am or whatever and that's I think you can have your opinion man I'm I'm sorry you well there's a lot of opinions being thrown back and forth right I'm sorry you feel that way but I can guarantee you that's not the case some water or anything I would I would like to make a couple phone calls okay that we can't do right now but I can't make phone call they just have to set this for a second that I thought was part of my right to making phone calls once you get arrested and placed in prison or in in jail you haven't put Jael yet you want some water oh I just can you guys just watch me make the phone call no hang not right now hang in a raid of their home uncovered matching bullet casings from the crime scene Colleen was arrested for attempted first-degree murder the case against Tim remained weak until Colleen started talking under questioning by police she confessed to driving the truck to shoot Nikki in Minneapolis before fleeing back to St Paul She testified that Tim had been the one to hatch the plan and he'd said Nikki was continually abusing their son your honor I stand before you with the utmost respect for the decision to come I accept all the consequences for my actions I understand and want to atone for what I have done a simple apology cannot cover the long-term damages that I have caused anything additional from you at this time no your honor I fear for anyone who stands in his way as he has the unlimited capacity to cause chaos and destruction to those he deems as adversaries I ask that the Court protect not only me my son and my family but all of the others that could suffer from his past and future Fury Amer on Monday expressing outrage at what he called a
