 How much clothes do you

 About five, six more luggages. The
rest of the stuff was a threeyear time
span. Moved out.
 All right. So, if I
call a metro officer,
 they're going to
say you're good to be here.
 No, he's
allowed to give permission. That's the
only way the manager said I can is if he
gives permission, which he did.
 That's
what the metro officers are.
 No, that's
what the Yeah, the manager told him. You

 The manager Yeah. of AMHA said
as long as he gives permission, which
they did for me to get my stuff as part
of the
 Who did you get permission from?
AMHA and Teresa.
 I'm asking him.
 Teresa,
I've known him. I was I was here for 4
years. He was my fiance.
 Nobody.
 Yeah.
Teresa,

Please don't do this.
 Nothing's

 Yeah, for real. Please don't.
You knew you weren't supposed to be here
and you need to come get your stuff. Why
don't you call us?
 Well, I called the
other um Oh, you're right. I should have
called them this time. I'm sorry. I'll
never happen again. I'm not doing
nothing wrong.
 Well, it doesn't matter
if nothing's happening.
If you've been banned and you've been
allowed though to get my stuff cuz I
lived here for 3 years. See, we lived
together for 3 years.
 Step out here just
till we figure this out.
 You're not
going to handcuffs yet, but you're going
to step out here until we figure this
out.
But you don't need to go to jail.
Please.
 Just until we figure Just till
we figure things out.
I don't use He's just I don't need to go
to jail. He just said it.
We just I'm complaining.
 I got you, but
stand out here until we figure this out.
Okay.
 We got permission from the manager
for me to pack my stuff. I stayed here
for 3 years up until 2 months ago. You
see how long was that?
 Um um about 2
months ago. The first time
 No, you just
arrested here for criminal.
 No, but I
lived here for 3 years. Everybody knows
you were When was the last time you
arrested here?
 Um a couple days ago cuz
I didn't get permission from him, but he
gave permission today. But you
 But he
gave permission today. The landlord, you
know, the landlord said this.
 The
landlord said when two months ago, I'm
allowed to pack my stuff.
That's why I'm here cuz she knows I
stayed here for 3 years. Everybody does.
And that's what y'all don't know.
 You
got her number.
 It's AMHA. It's not
weekend, sir. This 101 knows.
 So, how
did she give you permission today?
Because it was 2 months ago when I got
my first annotation from the mix guy
that runs the office. It's a box
downstairs. And it was the first time
that we ever had a problem. I stayed
here for 3 years. Worked at McDonald's
Chipot. Okay. And they gave me a warning
and they told me that with permission
from Shane if I called the cops. That's
why when you said that to me, let me
back up. Yes, I should have called. But
I wasn't thinking on that. I'm just
thinking, you know, like just everything
was going good. I just had to overlook.
That's all it was. You know, we're not
doing nothing wrong. I just got in the
door. I'm just grabbing things, packing
up a few more items. It's a threeear
relationship of staying here. I'm
packing up from, but it's almost gone.
When was the last Okay, be be straight
with me. When was the last time Pray. I
pray and I'll continue.
 You were charged
with criminal trespass.
 Um they they um
gave me signature mom the other day, but
I still am allowed to move my stuff out
with the manager's permission. They have
my lawyer knows that and he knows it and
her. So this ain't new.
 It's just the
last time you're arrested.

the landlord said? I can pack my stuff.
apparently.
 Okay. They they don't you
don't know. But I'm allowed
 cuz I had 3
years worth of stuff accumulating here.
That was just this year when I first got
this.
 This is the only charge. So you
can imagine 3 years of staying. You
accumulate quite a bit.
 And you had one
charge.
 No, I've had more than one. But
they did but they always
 When was the
last time you were arrested?
 Last week.
But I'm still allowed to come and pack
my stuff. They said my lawyer got that
permission with the um landlord. She's
gone on the weekend, sir. And we're
doing nothing wrong like you said. Is
your lawyer available?
 Shane, Jane just

 He is my fiance.
 Okay.
 But he
just told you that we're doing nothing.
We're not playing this game. Come on.

So, she has no permission. I'm not
falling for the [ __ ] story, right?
She was just
 But I didn't know.
 But, you
know, she's not supposed to.
 I know.
 But
she came over. No one invited her.
 They
can't unban you from the property.
 No.
No. Amha, we already got that worked
out. I left a message with main office.
It's a process though, holiday and stuff
like that. But I did leave a message
with main office. I'm definitely
complying with what I can. It's just
holiday. I'm just trying to let you know
everything I did according to what they
said cuz trust me, I'm not trying to go
to jail for grass.
 You know, I got kids
to take care of. I got a job I can
finally go back to.
 You know, I got my
head right. I'm back on my meds.

You know, I wasn't thinking rationally
at first, but I understand what you're
doing. You You know, but I'm trying to
let you know

I'm sorry. I I wasn't thinking right
though. I'm not trying to make it harder
and um I'll never do that again.

time, too.
 No. Mm- I got my head right
finally. I'm actually on the right meds.
I went and saw him talk. That's good.
That's good.
 So, I'm actually able to
think right. That doesn't mean you can
still break the law.
 I'm not going to
break the law no more. I swear to God. I
know how serious you are and I just
overslept and I didn't have, you know, I
just wasn't thinking at the time about
it. Honestly, I'm not trying to be a
dick about nothing. I know what you're
saying. And I know people make excuses
to y'all all the time.
 What's Huh?

people calling cops on me?
 So, why are
why are you here today?
 Pack up my
stuff.
 Okay.
You know, you're banned.
Yes, but I multiple times,
 but I'm still
allowed. Honestly, I'm not going to make
this. Who
 gave you the permission?
 Okay.
The manager Teresa. That's her name. I
don't know her last name. Shane does,
but I know her by Teresa. Um, so I told
you, yeah, she told me and Shane right
away that as long as I called the cops
though, that's what I didn't do.
 But I
ain't even been bothering nobody. I just
got here. I'm not going to do something
like that to take my freedom out because
I have plans to go back to work Monday
and I'm not trying to go to jail. It's
been hard out here to get all this
cleared up. So somebody is lying on me.
That's why Shane says don't take her
lying with me. Why? When I asked Shane
if
 he got permission for me to be here.
Oh, because he don't know about this
AMHA from Florida. See, he's Okay, I'm
glad you brought that up, Shane. When I
first got here,
 I came from Power
Street. This was like 3 years ago. Okay.
And I was staying here. Okay. Where do
you want me? Cuz I don't want to do
nothing that y'all don't want.
 Do you
have anything on you? They said, "No,
you can check anywhere you want."
 Sure.
Not out last time. You know how you go
in jail and they have the scanners,
right?
 Yeah, I have nothing. What what
did they catch on you before? Like a
crackpipe or something?
 Yeah, that was
somebody else. Yeah, I don't have
nothing though. But please don't take me
to jail. I'm just getting myself going
down the street to stay the night at my
friends. He can bring it out.
 Why didn't
you call us?
 I wasn't thinking. I didn't
have my phone. I'm being honest,
officer. But can I finish answering your
question?
 So, I got to finish telling
you he doesn't know about AMH here.
People lie to him and say that it's
permanent. It's not. Plus, he's slow
because he's a, you know, born early.
Who? shame at five months.
So he can't think on a, you know, like
at our level.
 Okay, that's my honey. We
dated him with you being here
 because I
have to pack I'm got to pack all my
stuff up. We lived here for 3 years
together. No, this is AMHA. You're
allowed to get your things. My mom,
 who
do you think I'm talking to? AMHA?
 Yeah.
I
 You are playing this game.
 No, AMHA is
not open right now. That's That's the
maintenance one. I'm talking about
 AHA

know, but I got permission from Teresa.
That's so You got to tell him that. The
main
 office lawyer that knows about
this.
 No, no, no, no. He doesn't know.
Teresa gave permission. Your
 lawyer?
 My
lawyer knows. But Teresa, the manager,
gave permission.
 So when you go to court
and see the judge,
 go to jail.
 You're
under arrest. You're criminal trespass.
No, I I'm getting my stuff. I was told I
could.
 I'm going to deal with this.
 I

 You don't learn your
lesson.
 Yes, I did. He just told you I
was just getting my But I'm getting my
stuff. I stayed here for the month
before I have to come back cuz all my
know and I always did call us at any of
these times.
