Did you guys check in a bag? Check in? Yep. Under the plane. Is it your bag or is it his bag? What? What bag? The bag that's under Wilkerson Wilker Wilkerson's name. What's What What What happened though? We have a bag that was checked under Wilkerson's name, okay? That's why we're here. So, we're just trying to figure out what's going on, why TSA called us over here in reference to that bag. Do you have any idea of what I'm talking about? Well, if if it doesn't involve you So, did you check in a bag? Do you have any luggage under the plane? Nah. You don't have any luggage. Yeah, that's my Yeah, that's my brother. So, he has luggage. >> Yeah. Y'all got luggage, yeah. Okay. That you guys checked in under the plane. Yeah. Okay. What What What bag Did you have a marking on your bag? Nah, that's This just that arm sling the flower bag. That's the only bag we checked in. today. Okay, did he check it in or did you check it in? My brother, it's under his name. Okay. So, there is there any reason why TSA would have called us? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't know. I'm just as lost as you are. Okay, so we just have a bag that we're going to investigate. And we're trying to figure out what what's in the bag, why TSA would call us for this bag. And they identified this bag which comes back to your brother. Do you want to stay with your brother or do you want to go catch a flight? I mean if if you're you're you're not saying the bag's yours, I mean it's not yours. All right. If you didn't check it in, you didn't check it in. He checked it in. Then we just got to ask him some few more questions, so. All right. Yeah, what happened? He said it was a floral with flowers on it. Okay. But they just said they checked in one bag. Altogether, but it was his bag that they checked in. This this what what bag the name on it? His name. All right, that's what I'm saying. What I get? Hello. So, I mean if you don't want to be here, you don't have to be here. All right. So so if if you didn't check any bags, then we just got to talk to him. If you said that was his bag. Okay. Yeah, so he said he he identified the bag as his. The guy over there. Yeah, you can you can go check your carry-on. Okay, so you told me you didn't um check in a bag, but your brother said you did check in a bag. So, you guys you did check in a bag? I haven't checked anything. These are the two bags I came with, sir. I'm I can't speak for nobody else. Okay. Just so I don't jump the gun here. Yeah, just I was just double-checking. Do you have a time on that ticket? Can call MCR and find exactly who who put it issue date 6:08 a.m. And he's saying he didn't check in a bag. No, but his brother was saying No, but his brother was saying that that was his bag that he checked, but he's saying he didn't check any bag. I would say why is your brother saying you know, why we getting one story from your brother? >> [clears throat] >> Hey, this is a TSA paper, too. Hey, can you do me a favor? Look at the cameras at the Frontier ticket counter area. Oh, okay. Okay. All right, thank you. 7:15's already called, but we need to hold detain this guy. What? Detain this guy. Okay, so did he admit the bag? He's saying that he packed it. He's saying he packed it. Did he check it in? So we're just trying to figure out whose bag it is. Your brother already said it's your bag. It's my bag? >> Yeah, it was a floral bag. He said it was yours, you checked it in, okay? That's where we're at. But then but then you're telling me it's not your bag, so I got two different stories. So, why is it checked in under your name? I'm not sure. It's been all type of complications with me getting through. They said I was frauded first when I came through because my last name didn't say junior because I'm a junior and my and it was they was going to say it was my dad and they wouldn't go let me through with that. I was having problems with that at first. I've been having problems since I got here at 6:00 a.m. Like 5:00 a.m. I These are my only two bags I came with. I understand. So, you're saying these are the only two bags you came with. >> These are my only bags. But your brother is telling us that you checked in a floral bag. Do you know what what he's talking about then? So, why would he say that? I don't know. Y'all go get him. I don't know. But these Y'all check the cameras. These are the two bags So, he's lying to us is what you're saying. >> I don't even know what he's told y'all. I I just told you what he told you, that you checked in a floral bag. One bag, floral bag, you guys checked it in. You checked it in and it's under your name. I didn't check no bag and I didn't pay for no bag. I didn't do anything. So, why is he saying otherwise? >> sure, sir. I don't know. I don't even know. I'm literally telling you everything I know. Check the cameras. Okay, so any reason why you think TSA would call us for? They just called my phone. But you didn't Any reason why TSA would call us, the police, to come respond to this location? This completely has me in shock. I don't have anything I shouldn't have in either of my bags. He said it's in one of the two bags he came with. what we found in the bag, okay? Yes, sir. Um we're doing some investigation. If you're lying to us, it's going to be a bad day for you. So, we have cameras everyone there. We're right now, that's what we're doing. I'm going to let you know the process we're doing. We're seeing who carried in that bag and who who who who checked it in. But at the end of the day, the bag's under your name and I'm trying to figure out why is it under your name. >> that, sir. I don't understand why it's in my name. There's been a lot of miscellaneous things going on since I've been here to check in. Yeah, but your brother doesn't work for the airport and he said it was your bag. So >> See. Where did he go? He got on the flight. >> He's on the plane. No way. So, he kind of just left you high and dry here, so. I mean, if you want to tell us is it his bag or is it your bag? It's not my bag. I don't know whose bag it is, but you can ask the lady how I didn't check in any bags. >> Okay, the the problem the the problem we're having is the bag it has your tag, your your reference number on it that you checked in that bag. I didn't check in no bag, sir. And then your brother said it's your bag, so kind of I didn't check in any bags. Y'all check the cameras. I don't Under the same island under the same one. So so he has his own reservation and the bag was checked under Checked under his confirmation. Okay. Okay. Okay, checked in. And it would have but this is the confirmation code of the bag that they have downstairs. Yeah, see. But but did he check in did this guy check in a bag? They said yeah, he he checked in a bag. He did check a bag in? I already ran him. Him? Yeah. Yes. I didn't check in any bags. Y'all check the cameras. I don't I didn't Y'all can check the cameras right now. Right now I didn't check in no bag. Okay, but >> I literally got my two bags. I understand that. Just if you can come up with a logical reason why your name's on the bag and why your brother is telling us it is your bag. Sir, he described the bag perfectly. It's a floral bag. I can't describe the bag to you. Tell me what he So, why would your brother say say this? I can't believe he said that cuz it ain't my bag. I don't I didn't I literally walked in with the two bags I have outside. I don't want to I don't want to keep repeating I don't want to keep repeating that I have my two bags. I understand you have two bags, but that doesn't If if you can you don't have to repeat any of that. Just tell me why that bag has your name on it and you can clear all this up. >> complete misunderstanding. I'm not sure. What's your middle name? And you said it starts with a D. What is What's your name? Uh the the rail, D A R I E L. D A R I E L? >> Yes. Darius Dariel? The rail, D A R I E L. Yes, that's it. That that's it. I'm just looking for a logical explanation why If it's your brother's bag, let us know if it's your brother's bag. >> I don't know whose bag it is. That's what I'm trying to tell you, officer. I don't know. I look I wish I could show you the video of me walking. I'm saying It's not my bag. So, somebody's trying to frame you then or >> It's something going on. It's been something going on since That's why I'm getting here late. That's why I'm getting to my flight late because there's been something going on every step to get in here since I've been here, literally. And I have my two items. They were both carry-on. That's what we filled on. That's what we filled on the flight pass. And we're just trying to figure out what was in the bag that they called us for. I'm not sure about I'm not sure how how that bag got my name on it. I'm not sure. I don't know. These are the two bags that I walked in. One on my back, one on my shoulder. They were the two bags y'all just saved me when I was You know what I'm saying? I didn't pay for no bags to get put in a bag to go under the plane. I didn't do any of that. I don't know what he got going on. Anything. Okay. I don't know. Did your brother check in a bag on your name? >> That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. We go out when we start registering things and put our information in, do our thing, we go to different registers. So, you didn't come in together? We did come in we did come in together. He has his girlfriend with him and we split ways on the first counter. Okay. Well, well look at it this way. Your brother's your brother's on the flight, you're here with us. He gave us all the information we need to identify the bag and link it to a person. The bag's also linked You can't tell me my brother linked that bag to me cuz he knows that it isn't my bag. He told He He told me directly to my face that was your bag and you checked it in. I'm not taking I'm not taking fault for something I didn't do, man. No. Your brother told us it's in your bag. No. That confirmation code. I would say any more since you've actually taken him off of a plane and you're now you've detained him to the point where he is no longer going to get on a plane. I would say if you ask him any more questions We have enough boarding passes in there. Yeah, I mean he already sent us a picture. I would not question him any more because now that the plane is gone with a reasonable person, you know, so just wait and see. We get the picture. 64 We're following that man right there. These his bags? Now you're a mess. Yep. All right, perfect. Thank you. They ID'd him. Yep. So at this point you have been ID'd as the person carrying the bag and so you are being placed under arrest. There's marijuana in the bag and a stolen firearm on you. And you were you were being arrested before, right? You got a felony, so you can't possess a firearm regardless. So it's now illegal possession, okay? All right, all right. We'll be the arresting officer since we made contact with him and spoke with him. I don't want you to be the arresting officer. All right, so so we didn't do the main recording. You guys can do the supplement for the drugs or Okay, so you guys can do the main recording. Yeah, and then we'll do the supplement. I mean that just makes sense since we made contact and spoke with him, so I don't want to dump it on P here. So the property inside is going to have to go in your vehicle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So So once we put him we'll go in and help package and and all that stuff. Which way are we going? We're parked right out here. You're a smart man. Bag is very very neat. Okay. What are these jackets sometimes like this inside pocket? No, they're going to do that at the jail, but if you have anything in your shoes and you try to bring it into the jail, then that's another charge and you really don't want another charge for bringing something into a My ID. Hey, we found your ID. Look at that. Hey, master, you just go in with your left foot and just kind of slide in. Oh, ah, [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] What do I get? Once you get in and they process you, you'll have a call. If that makes sense. Do I get a bar? They'll they'll talk to you about everything there, okay? 709 one in custody en route to jail starting mileage 122260. So anytime like when there's large amounts of cash and drugs it all gets put into evidence and then our the the task force comes and they decide what they're going to do with the money either if they if they link it to where it's not part of the drug trade, they'll give it back to you. If they do see that it's part of the drug trade then I I believe it gets seized for I'm not 100% sure. That's a problem above my pay grade, but right now it's going to be seized into evidence and then the detectives will look at it, so. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty. Thank you for watching.
