2024 officers responded to a Firestone
tire for a report of fraud a customer
had paid for service with a bad check
and was refusing to properly handle the
issue officers on scene contacted the
customer to request he come settle the
matter and when he arrived he started
making bizarre claims to the officers
thisy up bad we did some work for him
he's got this invoice and
uh we got the copy of his insufficient
check fund we tried to for weeks get it
straight with
him and uh uh the problem is the main
problem is is he don't want to pay the
insufficient check fee there is a fee
for me getting a bad check and uh we we
want to charge him $20 for that that's
just the way it is and uh he don't want
he ain't doing he's been saying he's
going to send me a money order for 2
weeks
you have phone number and uh like I said
he bill was
25814 and wrote us a check and for
2821 I don't know why it's
on yeah and and it bounced back for
insufficient and I got a hold of them
and he says it's our fault the bank's
fault not his fault that he'll send us a
money order after we argued with him and
uh he said he sent us a money order
money order never came
and that's how it's going now do you
want me to try and contact him and see
if you can come here and take care of it
now or do you want to like crimin chart

you come down here and just pay it
out toal
2 2784 that's what he owes me also we
can tell right engage 360 is that you
guys now if there is of a crime I had to
do that back it would be for the
original amount um I know the store
policy you can tack on that's fine um
but what he be required to pay back for
you know right it's like someone took an
item it's like yeah well now it's like
plus interest cuz I lost you know what I
mean we charged a fee for that we
charged by the bank for that
right let me get him a call and just see
if he wants to take care of this I mean
it's $20 either which way I mean we're

Northport here's the Northport direct
assistance phone number right there oh
okay and that's so if I have any
problems they'll assist me okay and who
who am I going to talk to on here that's
going to be able to confirm who you are
Chris Morales I guess Chris Morales yeah
okay I happen to know him just because I
know okay but I just think that's a
little strange that number two in
command is the only person that know who
you you are you get what I'm saying does
that sound right yeah it does okay I've
been at this 51 years me bu time well I
just I've got a lot of law enforcement
friends and family and this isn't quite
normal what you'd say don't keep that we
up you what I oh okay yeah
all right hey this is uh Deputy Chandler
here um I'm currently
investigating a a crime this is kind of
Pei that I get called to you guys um I
don't know if this can be accomplished
but this individual is claiming to be a
uh Federal entity of law enforcement and
the only person that is able to justify
whether or not he is or not is your
guys's number two in command so um I
don't know if I'd be able to speak to
Chief uh Morales or not but if there is
a possibility um if he's available that
would be good if not I completely
understand what department did you say
you with I'm with the Charlotte County
Sheriff's Office I'm
sorry okay yeah all right
um well let me uh place you on a free
real quick okay thanks I appreciate not
a call you get every day you're welcome
thanks okay so does he know that you're
calling orill he does not um and again I
know this is strange
but um if it's possible would just so I
can say that I check this box I know
it's a request
but so you think that they they live
here um so this individual is saying
that one of the only people that can
justify who this um our subject here is
is Chief Morales so um before I go
further with investigating this pretty
serious felony I'd like to check the box
at least that I reached out if he does
or doesn't know he can let us know but I
understand if he can't accept the call
at the
moment yeah okay so what's the address
of that
person do you have it his address yeah
hold on one
sec all right
so it's where we're at huh I said this
is where we're at um you're claiming to
be law enforcement not law enforcement
okay now you Chang your story Department
no Department of J I told you that yeah
but you also said law enforcement I have
it on recording here and you said
yeah but so that's strange and then you
don't have an ID and I'm not allowed to
talk to any of your supervisors or
anyone that's able to confirm your
identification what they going to do
secret
agent but what are we doing here what
are we doing here yeah right now you're
detained for a crime what crime
impersonating law enforcement until I
can figure out
otherwise
so that's not normal out of my years of
experience and being around law
enforcement that you can't carry an
identification
card what do I do but yeah but if you
left the country say that was true and
you left the country you just leave your
idea at home you're in the states I
can't take it with me either I can't
take it with me I can't can't take
nothing with me like I'm going to
Paraguay the
25th okay I can't take no form of
American identification with
me that doesn't make any sense I'm just
being I'm just
I'm that doesn't make any sense I'm just
being honest with you that makes that
makes no sense I'm just being honest
with
you you just work for Department of
Justice as a whole but What entity of
Department of Justice or what law
enforcement group of Department of
