Roberts is better-known as the rapper "Rick Ross," and his expansive estate previously belonged to boxer Evander Holyfield before it fell into foreclosure and was purchased by Roberts.
From the report of Deputy Donald Warney, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: On October 14, 2021, at approximately 3:56 pm, Lieutenant Kersey and I responded to [an address] in reference to a female trespassing on property belonging to William Roberts, AKA "Rick Ross."
On my arrival, Lt. Kersey and I walked up to the pool area behind the residence where Precious Bridgeman, the trespasser, was standing next to a security guard who was also the complainant — Gary Summers. Summers advised that Roberts does not know Bridgeman and that she needed to leave the residence.
Earlier that same day, Summers had asked Bridgeman to leave and advised her that she would be trespassing if she came onto the property, but she found an opening in the gate and ran through it, after which she ran to Roberts' pool and jumped in. Lt. Kersey placed Bridgeman in handcuffs. Bridgeman stated she was there for a photo shoot, that she is married to Rick Ross, that she lives at Rick Ross's house, and that she is pregnant with Rick Ross's twins.
A searched of her purse turned up a small amount of marijuana.
Bridgeman was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass and possession of marijuana. Stay tuned to learn what happened next.
00:00 Highlights 01:42 Bodycam 16:51 Transport 17:47 JailFirefighter Arrested for Impersonating Police OfficerReal World Police2023-05-31 | Anthony Woods has the unenviable distinction of being the only firefighter on the Brady List maintained by the State Attorney's Office for the Ninth Judicial District of Florida. At the time of this incident, Woods was a firefighter with Orange County Fire Rescue.
According to a summary written by prosecutors, on December 12, 2021, the victim was exiting the 408 onto East Colonial Drive when, according to his statement, a Grey Hyundai cut him off. The victim continued to drive toward his original destination, but realized he was being followed by the vehicle that cut him off. The victim, fearing that he was being followed, took a different route to determine whether he was being followed. The Hyundai continued to follow the victim until the Hyundai maneuvered a in such a way to block the victim's vehicle in the roadway. At that point, then-firefighter Anthony Woods exited his vehicle and walked toward the victim's vehicle... with a black gun in his right hand.
Woods then stated "you almost hit me and I'm a police officer / firefighter." The victim then drove away and called 911. At the exit/entrance of the neighborhood, Woods caught up to the victim and again parked his vehicle in front of the victim's vehicle. Woods exited his vehicle again, overheard tje victim on the phone with 911, told the victim "don't take my tag," and returned to his vehicle to leave the scene. Woods is a firefighter. Woods also called 911 to report a reckless driver. Police interviewed Woods at Fire Station 87 where Woods initially stated that he and the victim got into a verbal argument due to the victim's reckless driving. Woods stated that it was actually the victim who was following him. It was apparent to police that Woods was lying, and Woods ultimately changed his story and admitted to following the victim and to brandishing a gun when approaching the victim's vehicle.
Woods was arrested on suspicion of falsely personating a law enforcement officer during the commission of a felony, as well as aggravated assault with a firearm. Prosecutors charged Woods with falsely personating an officer and improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon. As part of a plea deal, the former charge was dropped, and adjudication was withheld on the latter charge. Woods was sentenced to six months supervised probation, credit for time served, a required firearms safety course, and minor fines/fees. Woods resigned his position with Orange County Fire Rescue on December 21, 2021.
Prosecutor notes state that the victim feared that he would be shot, and that the victim had previously been in trouble with the law and had received significant penalties for that incident, and was consequently less inclined toward leniency for Mr. Woods. The victim ultimately told prosecutors that he believed in forgiveness, and that if Woods had apologized he wouldn't have pressed charges — but that if he had had a gun it could have been an entirely different outcome. Court records indicate that in 2015, the victim in this case had been arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a firearm. That charge was ultimately dropped. In 2020, the victim had been arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. He pleaded no contest and agreed to pay restitution.

Prior to arresting Romo, officers had contacted him multiple times throughout the night at a variety of locations regarding "his disruptive behavior."
Romo had been removed from Whiskey Row for being overly intoxicated. He also became aggressive and confrontational with security. Romo then crossed the street and attempted to enter El Hefe, but was denied entry for being overly intoxicated. Romo "again became aggressive and confrontational with security," and was screaming at the bar's security personnel before officers arrived and intervened.
The following quotes are excerpted from the police report and supplements: "My intervention withe Drew at El Hefe was brief, as Drew's friend's were holding him back and telling him to leave. I merely encouraged Drew to call it night as he was obviously too intoxicated and disorderly to enter into any establishment. It was then learned when security from Whiskey Row came over to El Hefe and both parties advised Drew was claiming to be a police officer that our interest was now drawn more to him. Myself and assisting officers again tried to encourage Drew to go home to prevent any further disturbances based on his job title."
"Sgt. Weishaar then contacted Drew as I made contact with the reporting party at International. The reporting party, Edgar Suarez. of International stated Drew was also just removed from their bar (third bar in the night) for over intoxication. Edgar stated once Drew was outside of the bar, he was attempting to "fight" everyone that was passing by and everyone in line at their bar. Edgar said he observed Drew take a fighting stance, puff out his chest, and say "you want to have a problem" with a group of patrons a waiting in line. Edgar told me, he then told Drew to leave and notified police."
"Once at the Jail, Drew's disorderly behavior continued which delayed his booking process. Drew was described as being disruptive, repeatedly banging on his jail cell door and calling 911 multiple times without having an emergency."
"A taxi was requested for Drew once he stopped banging on his cell door. I released Drew at around 0330 to a taxi, providing him a sober ride home. Drew signed his cite and was given a copy prior to his release."
"We made contact with Drew and advised him it was probably time to go home based on his level of intoxication. Drew became argumentative and wanted to know why we believed that. Drew's friends began telling him we were right, it was time to leave and they tried walking him away. Drew refused at first, was trying to push back toward us but, ultimately started walking away. He paused for a few minutes while his friends tried to negotiate with him. He eventually began walking off toward INTL Nightclub. One of Drew's friends apologized for his actions, told me they had been trying to get Drew to go home all night but, he will not listen to anyone. He also advised Drew was pretty intoxicated before going out the bars and they tried to convince him to stay at the house and Drew refused. We eventually rode over to INTL for few minutes to keep an eye on Drew. Drew was ultimately admitted into INTL at which point Officer Clore made contact with security staff about Drew. We then cleared."
According to Lieutenant Chris Ciampa with the Rosedale Police Department, Romo was a police officer with the Rosedale Police Department at the time of his arrest. Romo's employment began as a police officer trainee on July 3, 2019. Romo's last day of employment was November 18, 2020 — four days after this arrest. According to Lieutenant Ciampa, "The Roseville Police Department holds every employee to a high standard as we represent the City of Roseville and our Community."
Romo was charged with assault and disorderly conduct. On March 23, 2021, Romo pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Romo was fined a total of $650. The assault charge was dismissed. According to Romo's LinkedIn profile, he now "ha[s] the honor of serving the Lord full time" as the assistant director of a church in Rocklin, California.
00:00 Highlights 02:43 Bodycam 25:48 JailPolice Officer Arrested After Running Away From His Mothers WeddingReal World Police2023-04-09 | eThis is a bit of a weird one. On February 26, 2022, Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) Deputy Sheriff Zachary Louis Erickson was arrested by officers with the West Melbourne Police Department after Erickson ran away from his own mother's wedding and was caught driving more than 80 mph in a 40 mph zone. Erickson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence,
Erickson refused field sobriety tests and refused to submit to a breath alcohol test. On May 25, 2022, Erickson was accepted into the Brevard County first-time DUI offender program. Erickson was required to complete 20 community service hours, DUI school, and a victim impact panel, to be followed by a related term of DUI probation. On August 3, 2022, Erickson pleaded guilty to the charge of Reckless Driving, Alcohol or Controlled Substance Related. Adjudication was withheld, fees and fines were imposed totaling $674.81, and Erickson was placed on nine months of probation with various requirements.
Erickson's brother Jared is a deputy with OCSO, and his father died in the line of duty as a deputy first class with OCSO (see note below). According to Erickson's words during this arrest, his mother previously worked for OCSO. After OCSO learned of Erickson's arrest, Erickson was relieved of his law enforcement duties.
Information obtained by this channel indicates that Erickson is currently employed as a police officer with the Kissimmee Police Department. As of mid-June 2022, Erickson was on the Brady List maintained by the State Attorney's Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
Note: Erickson's father was Michael K. Erickson, who died on March 16, 2011. A contemporaneous story published on Officer.com states: "Orange County Sheriff's Office officials said a deputy died while on the job at the YMCA Aquatic Center," however a WESH article published that same day reports that Erickson died of a heart attack while playing racquetball with one of his neighbors. It appears that Erickson's death may have determined to be in the line of duty because Erickson had attended three high-stress homicide calls the weekend prior to his death while playing racquetball. Whether of not an officer death occurred in the line of duty has implication for, among other things, the availability of certain financial benefits to next of kin.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenRapper Sean Kingston Accused of Armed Robbery, False ImprisonmentReal World Police2023-03-22 | This video presents exclusive, never-before-seen footage from a 2018 incident.
On July 27, 2018, Assistant State Attorney Eddie L. Holiday III wrote a memo to Chief Assistant State Attorney Kathleen Hogue regarding State of Florida v. Kisean Anderson. Kisean Anderson is better known as the singer and rapper Sean Kingston.
Holiday's rather-frustrated memo explained the facts of the case against Kingston, and why the State of Florida was declining to prosecute.
In summary, on June 28, 2018, Amanda Torres was in Miami for a vacation when her boss called her regarding a jewelry transaction that he wanted Torres to complete. The boss explained that Torres would pick up two pieces of jewelry from a store in downtown Miami and go to the Kisean Anderson aka Sean Kingston's home to sell the jewelry for $75,000 and a trade-in watch. When Torres and an employee of the jewelry store, Hanan Rubinov, drove to Kingston's home, they learned that Kingston did not have the full $75,000.
Kingston only had $24,000, however Kingston still wanted the jewelry and as sign of good faith gave Torres $24,000 and a "very expensive watch" with the intention that that the next day, Kingston would withdraw the rest of the money and retrieve the original trade-in watch. Torres allowed Kingston to take the two pieces of jewelry, and took the watch plus $24,000. The next morning, Kingston's mother called Torres and explained that she would withdraw $50,000 from a bank on behalf of Kingston. Kingston's mother also explained that she needed a ride to the bank, and asked Torres to pick her up from her son's home. Torres retrieved Kingston's collateral watch, with the thought that she would soon receive the $50,000 and the trade-in watch discussed the previous day. Torres and Rubinov picked up Kingston's mother from her son's home and drove to the bank. Kingston's mother withdrew $50,000 and handed the money to Torres. The three then returned to Kingston's house to retrieve the trade-in watch, but when they got to Kingston's house, Kingston's mother stated that the trade in watch wasn't there.
Kingston's mother tried to trade in another watch, but Torres's boss refused to accept the substitute, so Kingston's mother called her son and asked him to come home and negotiate himself. After negotiating for nearly three hours, Kingston decided that he no longer wanted the jewelry and asked for his money back. Torres handed Kingston's watch back to him and asked for the two pieces of jewelry that Torres had allowed Kingston to hold the previous day. Kingston refused, stating that he would only give back the jewelry after he had received all of his money, which had been placed in a jewelry store safe. Kingston demanded that they all drive downtown to retrieve the money, and stated that he would return the jewelry once he had received his $24,000. Torres called her boss to explain the situation, and her boss advised that they should ride downtown together, or else Kingston might just keep the jewelry and drive away.
Torres got into Kingston's Bentley coupe, with Kingston driving and and an unknown Latino male in the front passenger seat. Before they left, Kingston asked the Latino male for his gun. Ultimately, Rubinov retrieved the $24,000 and handed the money to Kingston, who handed the money to an unknown black male to be counted. Torres then told Kingston to let her out of his car and to hand over the jewelry, because Kingston had his money. In response, Kingston yelled at Torres "I'm not letting you out. I need to make sure all my ** money is here. You're not getting out!" The black male then counted the money multiple times.
During the counting, Kingston took off the jewelry, placed it in a box, and handed the box to Torres, but Kingston did not allow Torres to leave. Then, the black male told Kingston they had only received $23,700. When Kingston heard that he had been shorted, he tried to take the jewelry box from Torres. They struggled over the box, but Kingston overpowered Torres and took the jewelry box. When Torres protested, Kingston took out a gun, racked the slide, and pointed it at Torres, telling her "You're not getting out of the ** car, because I don't have all my money!" Torres asked to count the money herself, and explained that all the money was there. Kingston then gave the money back to the black male, who agreed that all the money was there. As Kingston apologized for pointing his gun at Torres and Torres left the car, the black male slammed the door on Torres' finger, causing injury.
After reviewing the evidence, ASA Holiday filed an arrest warrant and information charging Kingston with one count of Armed Robbery with a Firearm and one count of Armed False Imprisonment.
I'm at YouTube's character limit. For details on why the charges against Kingston were dropped, visit the Real World Police subreddit.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenPolice Officer Arrests Her SupervisorReal World Police2023-03-08 | On January 1, 2021, Gainesville Police Department Corporal Scott W. Bertzyk was driving in the vicinity of 6200 W. Newberry Road in Gainesville, Florida, when he reached down for his lighter and crashed into a vehicle that had just started to move at a green traffic light. There were no injuries at the scene, however the people in the vehicle struck by Bertzyk subsequently sought medical care.
Gainesville Police Officer Brooke Shutterly responded to the crash and immediately recognized Corporal "Bertie" Bertzyk as involved. According to the report of Officer Shutterly, "While investigating the crash I observed Bertzyk having difficulty maintaining balance. He was also slurring his words and had difficulty physically grasping his driver's license when I handed it back to him."
After performing poorly on standardized field sobriety exercises, Bertzyk was arrested and eventually handcuffed at his own insistence. Bertzyk later provided two breath samples, which registered .156% BAC and .153% BAC. Post-Miranda, Bertzyk admitted that he had been drinking Bacardi and Diet Coke.
Bertzyk was charged with driving under the influence with property damage, and eventually pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge. Bertzyk was sentenced to fines totaling $974, 50 hours of community service, various substance abuse and DUI classes, and a six-month driver's license suspension. Bertzyk was subsequently sued by the driver and passenger of the vehicle he struck, and a settlement was reached in that case.
A subsequent internal investigation by the Gainesville Police Department concluded that Corporal Bertzyk violated City of Gainesville Policy E-3, Rule 44A, "Pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or being found guilty by a jury or court of a misdemeanor involving physical violence, theft, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or possession or sale of drugs, regardless of whether or not adjudication is withheld and probation is imposed." Corporal Bertzyk received a written "employee notice," a five-day (40 hour) suspension without pay, and the execution of a Last Chance Agreement and Release. In the course of the Internal Affairs investigation, Corporal Bertzyk alleged that he was not impaired at the time of the crash, and that he had prepared and consumed a very strong alcoholic drink during the course of the crash investigation. A complete copy of the internal affairs investigation is available for free on the Real World Police Patreon.
Florida's Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission (CJSTC) is responsible for the training and certification of law enforcement and correctional officers in the State of Florida. In response to Bertzyk's DUI conviction, on August 31, 2022, the CJSTC imposed a five-day retroactive suspension, and ninety-day prospective suspension of Bertzyk's law enforcement officer certification, along with a one-year term of probation beginning at the conclusion of the suspension period. Bertzyk was also required to provide CJSTC staff with "proof of successful completion of Commission-approved substance abuse counseling prior to the end of the probationary period."
Real World Police has inquired of the Gainesville Police Department as to whether Officer Shutterly ever reported to Corporal Bertzyk. This description will be updated when that information is received.

"On September 1, 2022, at approximately 1214 hours, I responded to a location in reference to weapons.
Upon arrival, I was flagged down by a female who was later identified as Nadien Chavez. Ms. Chavez stated that her mother was having issues with a male named Bob. She stated that Bob would continuously knock on her door and walk away. She confronted him at his apartment. She told him to leave her mom alone to which he stated, “F You” and closed the door. Ms. Chavez stated she kicked the door. He opened the door and had a black object in his hand. She and her boyfriend then walked away after a verbal confrontation.
I then made contact with the male, who was later identified as Robert Ewing. He stated he was in a sexual relationship with Ms. Chavez’ aunt who lives two doors to the right from his apartment. He stated that Ms. Chavez’s mom “needed to get F'ed”, because she was bothered that he was tapping on her window. Officer Joshua Nanez asked Mr. Ewing if that’s how he talked to ladies. Mr. Ewing got confrontational and began to walk towards Officer Nanez. Mr. Ewing calmed down and walked us to his apartment so we can see if there was any damage done to the door. I observed no damaged done to the door other than his bike marks on the bottom of his door. I asked Mr. Ewing to explain what occurred. He stated that Ms. Chavez approached his apartment, knocked, and confronted him about making vulgar statements that her mother “needed to get f'ed”. He replied, “F You” and closed the door. He stated she hit the door, opened it again and by this time, a male, who was later identified as Samuel Nolasco, pulled out a gun. Mr. Ewing stated he was in shock and they both walked away.
I asked him about some conflicting statements. At first, Mr. Ewing stated that Mr. Nolasco was standing on the left side of the door frame, not visible, and after he slammed the door and opened it again, he brandished a weapon. He later then stated that when he slammed the door and the female banged on it, he opened it. Mr. Nolasco and the female were walking away then Mr. Nolasco turned around, grabbing towards his lower back and brandished the weapon. I asked which one had occurred since he kept having conflicting statements amongst them. He finally stated that Mr. Nolasco brandished a weapon as they were walking away. Mr. Ewing wanted to know what possible charges were at hand. I notified him that it was still an ongoing investigation and Mr. Nalosco still needed to be questioned.
I later made contact with the male, Mr. Nolasco. I asked him to explain to me what had occurred. He stated he accompanied Ms. Chavez to Mr. Ewing’s apartment, where she knocked. Mr. Ewing got vulgar. He stepped in and then Mr. Ewing slammed the door and Ms. Chavez kicked the door. Mr. Ewing then opened the door. Mr. Nolasco stated he walked into the kitchen and came back with a black cylindrical object in his hand. They both walked away in which Mr. Nolasco pretended to put his hand behind his waistband, telling him to back away. He stated he does not own a gun and was pretending to have something so Mr. Ewing would not close distance on them.
Then contacted the manager, who was later identified as Lisa. I asked Lisa if she was aware of any of the incident and she stated no. She stated Mr. Ewing’s neighbor to the right was making complaints on him but was not aware about the ongoing situation between Mr. Ewing and Ms. Chavez’s mother.
I then made contact with the maintenance man, named Paul, who also notified us that Mr. Ewing is a disturbance and is just knocking on windows and doors. He stated that Mr. Ewing can get a little bit verbal with the tenants living in the apartment complex.
I then went back to service.
No further information."

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenHooters Waitress Tells Cop “I Can Take It All Off”Real World Police2023-02-06 | From the report of Officer Klein, with the Sarasota Police Department, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: "On Sunday, October 30, 2022, at 3:53 a.m., I was on uniformed marked patrol within the City of North Port, Sarasota County, when I approached a red traffic light at the intersection of North Cranberry Blvd and North Toledo Blade Blvd, when I observed a black Hyundai sedan which had stopped over the painted stop bar and crosswalk, placing the vehicle almost completely in the intersection as it waited for the light to cycle.
I checked the vehicles license plate through NCIC/FCIC which revealed that the plates were expired as of 4/2/21, and that the registered owner, Naomi Furrer, had a suspended driver's license. Once the light cycled, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle. Upon making contact with the driver, I immediately identified the driver as Naomi Furrer, the registered owner of the vehicle.
While speaking with Furrer, I observed her to have bloodshot watery eyes and slightly slurred speech. Furrer appeared to struggle with completely recalling her recent events and locations. I observed that Furrer was dressed for Halloween, and she stated that she was coming from a Halloween party. I observed Furrer to be wearing a yellow, non-descript wristband on her left wrist, consistent with wristbands issued at local bars. While further speaking with Furrer, I smelled the strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath and person.
I questioned Furrer about her license status, and she informed me that she knew her license was suspended and that she was trying to get it fixed. I instructed Furrer to exit her vehicle, and she complied. I observed Furrer to be unsteady on her feet as she was exiting her vehicle. While outside of her vehicle, I continued to smell the odor of alcohol emitting from Furrer;s breath and person. I asked Furrer if she would perform field sobriety exercises, and she agreed.
A further computer check revealed that Furrer had three active suspensions for failure to pay traffic citations, and one active suspension for violation of financial responsibility.
Due to the totality of the circumstances and Furrer's performance on the field sobriety exercises, there is probable cause that Furrer violated F.S.S. 316.193(1)(a), Driving under the Influence, and F.S.S. 322.34(2)(a), Driving While License Suspended With Knowledge.
Furrer knowingly operated a vehicle on a roadway while her license was suspended and while under the influence of alcohol to the extent that her normal faculties were significantly impaired.
Furrer was placed under arrest and placed in the back of my patrol vehicle. A probable cause search of Furrer's vehicle was performed in which two small open containers of Fireball Whiskey and one empty White Claw Hard Seltzer can were located within the passenger compartment.
I transported Furrer to the Sarasota County Jail without incident, where I requested Furrer provide a breath sample; she refused. I advised Furrer of her implied consent warnings which she indicated she understood. Furrer still refused to provide a breath sample. Furrer was issued copies of her citations and was booked. Her vehicle was later removed by Talon Towing.
00:00 Highlights 02:15 BodycamOfficer Can’t Stop Laughing During DUI ArrestReal World Police2023-02-01 | On January 15, 2023, at approximately 0055 hours, Officer Nathan Smith with the Bentonville Police Department was traveling westbound on the 2200 block of SE Walton Boulevard in a marked patrol unit. From the report of Officer Smith:
I observed a black SUV traveling westbound in the inside lane ahead of me. I noticed the driver side tires cross the yellow line as the vehicle approached the intersection of SE Walton Blvd. and SE Medical Center Parkway. The vehicle continued westbound as it merged back into the inside lane. The vehicle’s driver side tires crossed the yellow line and drifted back into the inside lane again. The vehicle continued to drift toward the center turn lane with the driver side tires on top of the yellow line multiple times. As the vehicle negotiated Rainbow Curve, the driver side tires crossed the yellow line twice. I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle by initiating my emergency lights. The vehicle came to a stop in the parking lot of Credit Cars, located at 3302 S Walton Blvd.
I approached the driver side window and made contact with the driver, later identified as Brooke Teague by her Arkansas Driver’s License. While speaking with Brooke, I observed her eyes to be bloodshot and watery. I could smell the odor of intoxicants emitting from the vehicle and noticed her speech was slurred. Brooke stated she was on her way home from JJ’s Grill where she works. Brooke advised her shift ended at 2230 hours and that she only had one drink which she clarified was a Miller Lite. I asked Brooke if she would take the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which she agreed to.
Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus: The first test I explained was the HGN Test. I asked Brooke if she understood the test and she said she did. I noticed both left and right eyes had equal pupil size and no resting nystagmus. I also observed Brooke to have equal tracking in both left and right eyes. I observed lack of smooth pursuit, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, and distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both her right and left eye.
Walk and Turn: The second test I explained and demonstrated was the Walk and Turn Test using an imaginary line on a flat surface. I first placed Brooke standing in a heel to toe position and advised her not to start the test until she was told to do so. She could not maintain the heel to toe stance and lost balance during the instruction phase of the test. After completing the instructions, I asked her if she understood, and she stated she did. During the test I observed Brooke lose balance during the instruction phase, use her arms for balance, step off the line, take the wrong number of steps, conduct an improper turn, and miss heel to toe.
One Leg Stand: The third test I explained and demonstrated was the One Leg Stand. After the explanation and demonstration, I asked Brooke if she understood the test and she said she did. During the test, Brooke put her foot down, used her arms for balance, and swayed.
Brooke did not satisfactorily complete field sobriety testing. Brooke was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated. She was handcuffed, searched, and placed in the rear of my patrol vehicle.
Corporal Quinton Reinhardt and I conducted an inventory of the vehicle which was later towed by Bentonville Towing. While inventorying the vehicle, suspected vomit was located in the two center cupholders. Brooke was transported to the Bentonville Police Department.
I read Brooke the Arkansas Statement of Rights form and she agreed to provide a breath sample. After a twenty-minute observation period, Brooke provided a breath sample of .14%.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenArkansas State Police Pursuit | Dont Forget Your GirlfriendReal World Police2023-01-28 | For the latest in your demonetized enjoyment: On Friday, August 28th, 2020 while patrolling northbound on I-555, in Poinsett County, Arkansas, Trooper Blaine Middlecoff was ovetaken by a black passenger car displaying Florida tags. Middlecoff ran the tags displayed via ACIC, and the return indicated that the tags had expired in June 2020. Middlecoff initiatd a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle at the 20 mile marker northbound.
“I then approached the suspect vehicle on the passenger side and immediately smelled the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. I observed a male occupant (operator) and a female occupant (passenger), and I advised I was Trooper Middlecoff with the Arkansas State Police and advised the operator of the vehicle he was being stopped for expired license registration. I then asked for his license, registration, and proof of insurance. The suspect was only able to provide his license and a rental agreement at the time. It was at this time I asked the suspect to exit the vehicle and meet me at the rear of his vehicle.
Once at the rear of the vehicle I asked the suspect if there were any illegal items within the vehicle or on his person, in which he stated there [were not]. The suspect stated he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day but did not have any with him.
I then did a quick search for weapons on the suspects person and walked back to the vehicle and asked the passenger if there were any drugs within the vehicle. The passenger stated there was nothing illegal in the vehicle and stated she was on her period. I then asked the passenger to step out of the vehicle. The passenger again stated she was on her period before exiting the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle I observed a large bulge within the lower portion of the passenger’s front waistband. I asked her what the bulge was, and she stated it was a pad for her period. I then advised her I knew it was not a pad and to pull it out from her waistband. The passenger then pulled a small baggie of suspected marijuana out from her waistband and handed it to me. I then placed the bag on the front of the suspect vehicle and escorted the passenger to where the suspect and Cpl. McLaughlin was standing.
It was at this time I returned to the suspect vehicle to search for any other illegal items within. When I opened the front driver door, I immediately observed a 40 round rifle magazine in the door pocket. Then I observed the barrel of a rifle just under the driver seat. It was at this time I made the decision to place both subjects into custody until my investigation was complete. As I approached the suspect, he fled towards his vehicle, escaping my attempt[s] to detain him. * * *
Cpl. McLaughlin and I entered our patrol unit, leaving the passenger, and began pursuing the suspect. As we were pursuing the suspect, I reached speeds of 120 mph before catching up to him approximately 3 miles from the stop location. The suspect entered the 24 exit onto State Highway 463. He then immediately returned to I-555 southbound in attempt to flee into Tennessee. As I caught up to the suspect - reaching speeds of 130mph - I observed him weaving in and out of traffic, almost striking multiple vehicles. I was then able to get close enough to perform a PIT to end the pursuit. On my first attempt the suspect engaged his brakes, disrupting my positioning. I then attempted to reposition for a second attempt, but the suspect continued to cut me off and brake to keep me from getting in position. I was able to get in position a third time but again the suspect braked and attempted to ram the side of my patrol unit. After regaining control, I was once again behind the suspect vehicle as he continued to flee. After many attempts to regain a good position for a PIT, I was able to PIT the suspect vehicle as he tried once again to brake. This sent us both into the median of I-555. The suspect was able to regain control of his vehicle and proceed onto I-555 southbound.
It was at this time I performed a second PIT which stopped the suspect in the median. I was then able to take the suspect into custody without further incident.
Once the suspect was in custody and in the back of my patrol unit, I searched the suspect vehicle for any more illegal items. That search ultimately revealed - among other things - 168 grams of marijuana, $7,128 cash, and multiple loaded firearms.
The suspect vehicle was towed from the scene by Rusty’s Towing. The passenger, whose first name is allegedly “Maddie,” was never located. The suspect, Randy Blackburn, was arrested and transported to Poinsett County Detention center on charges of felony fleeing, reckless driving, speeding, resisting arrest, possession of firearms by prohibited person, simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of schedule 6 with purpose to deliver, and possession instruments of a crime.

patreon.com/realworldpoliceDaytona Beach Woman Arrested in Prostitution StingReal World Police2023-01-24 | On April 28, 2022, an undercover officer with the Daytona Beach Police Department was operating an unmarked vehicle in areas of Daytona Beach, Florida, that are known for street-level prostitution. This patrol occurred after the agency had "received numerous complaints in reference to prostitution" in the area.
The officer was electronically monitored, and at approximately 12:55 p.m., he contacted a white female at the intersection of North Segrave Street and North Street, "an area where street prostitution is prevalent." The female entered the undercover officer's vehicle, asked if the officer was "police," stated that she was looking to make some money, and agreed to oral and regular sex for a total price of $60... after which, this happened.
The arrestee has a history of multiple convictions for driving without a license as well as for drug possession, and had previously been referred to drug court, where she absconded from a residential treatment program, an act she subsequently told the court was an attempt to maintain her sobriety. (Seriously.) However, on June 28, 2022, she successfully completed the Volusia County State Attorney's "SMART" deferred prosecution program. SMART is a rather-contrived acronym for "State Attorney's Mission to Assist thriving Rehabilitation and Treatment" — a program intended to address to the underlying causes of misdemeanor crimes. Because the arrestee references her daughter in this video, it should be noted that the arrestee was married in 2019, that her daughter was born in 2020, and that her husband filed for divorce in 2021 while the arrestee was incarcerated. On July 26, 2022, the couple's marriage was dissolved; the father has full custody of the daughter.

As officers caught up to the vehicle, they observed its driver, later identified as Matthew Reed, not wearing a seatbelt. The officers initiated a traffic stop of the Porsche, and the vehicle came to a stop.
In the vehicle were Elijah Johnson, Javarri Walker, the aforementioned Reed, and Ranard Jenning. Walker is better known as the rapper "Hotboii," and at the time of the stop he was out on bond in relation to a RICO and Conspiracy to Commit RICO case in Orlando, Florida. Walker's 2020 breakout single "Don't Need Time" has received nearly 90 million views on YouTube and spawned a remix featuring rapper Lil Baby. He is signed to multiple record labels.
Back to the traffic stop.
When officers made contact with the vehicle's occupants, they smelled a strong odor of marijuana, and marijuana smoke was seen coming out of the car's windows. During the traffic stop, Miami-Dade Police Department Detective Krystian Perez-Almeida observed the rear driver-side passenger, Walker, fidgeting around in his seat and making "an overt movement toward the rear seat center divider area."
After backup officers arrived on scene, the occupants were removed from the vehicle, however when officers asked Walker to exit the vehicle, "he removed his sweater and made a quick overt movement back toward the center console divider and placed his jacket on top of the divider, directly next to his black bag that was sitting on the back passenger seat next to him. When removed from the vehicle he was patted down and a pat down revealed a large wad of what felt like to be cash in a rubber band inside defendant walkers front left pocket."
Search of the vehicle revealed a loaded FN Five-SeveN, concealed directly underneath Walker's jacket, on the seat underneath the center console divider. The Five-SeveN was "loaded, not securely encased, and within the immediate arms reach of defendant Walker. Inside defendant walkers black bag mentioned earlier, there was a total of +/- 100 grams of marijuana all in individually packaged bags containing +/ - 25 grams each of marijuana."
Further search of the vehicle revealed a Glock 23 and a fully loaded extended magazine, on the rear passenger side floor directly by the feet of the rear right side passenger, Jenning. That firearm had been modified using an illegal auto-sear, which enabled it to fire as a fully automatic weapon. Separately, a loose .40 caliber round was found on the seat where Jenning had been sitting. Also found in the vehicle was a black bag that belonged to Jenning. That bag contained "9.5 oxycodone pills as well as a large amount of cash ($3000) in separate rubber bands and multiple denominations."
Not shown here, on May 22, 2022, Walker was the occupant of a vehicle stopped by the Florida Highway Patrol in which several firearms were found as well as marijuana. Somehow, it took until the May 2022 traffic stop for prosecutors to learn that Walker's January 2022 arrest had even happened.
On May 26, 2022, prosecutors in Walker's RICO case filed a motion to revoke Walker's $750,000 bond, and on June 2, 2022, that motion was subsequently granted. On June 30, 2022, Walker turned himself in on charges of failure to appear. On July 19, 2022, Walker filed a motion to set pretrial release conditions. Despite testimony that recording studio security protocols led to the situation where Walker was in possession of someone else's firearm — and that the 'someone else' didn't know anything about the automatic weapons or drugs found in the car... — bond was denied. Walker is currently incarcerated in the Orange County Jail pending trial. In the interim, Walker's attorneys have filed multiple motions for pretrial release, and Walker's mom wrote an email to the court complaining about Walker's attorneys. He is still in jail.

Despite pleading to her status as a deputy sheriff, to having been assembling furniture, and to wearing contact lenses, Coniglio was ultimately cited for careless driving and arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence.

A graduate of the Yeshiva of Flatbush high school, Shrem founded the now-defunct BitInstant, and is a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation. He is also a federal ex-con.
According to a 2019 New York Post article based on a then-new book by Ben Mezrich, when Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss attended a 2012 meeting about Bitcoin, they were expecting a professional introduction to a business opportunity in cryptocurrency. Instead, they got, as the Post put it: "...a 22-year-old Orthodox Jewish stoner living in his parents’ Brooklyn basement. Charlie Shrem was the founder of BitInstant, one of the first firms to buy Bitcoin for clients. In his Midtown office, with weed paraphernalia on every shelf, he kept three bongs on his desk — and was toking from one as he met the millionaires. “Welcome to the ‘Bakery,’ gentlemen,” said Shrem."
On January 26, 2014, on returning from an e-commerce convention, Shrem was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Prosecutors alleged that Shrem and Robert Faiella conspired to launder $1 million worth of bitcoins to help users of the Silk Road darknet marketplace anonymously make illegal purchases. Shrem was also charged with failing to report suspicious banking activity and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. Two days later, Shrem was released on $1 million bail, which included electronic monitoring, and a requirement that Shrem live with his parents. It was back to the basement for Shrem.
On April 10, 2014, Shrem was indicted on accusations of "operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, money laundering conspiracy and willfully failing to file suspicious activity reports with banking authorities." On September 4, 2014, Shrem pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aiding and abetting unlicensed money transmission. On December 19, 2014, Shrem was convicted ordered to forfeit $950,000, and sentenced to two years in prison. He surrendered to authorities on March 30, 2015, and subsequently entered Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp in Pennsylvania. He was released from prison on September 16, 2016.
According to Wikipedia — which lists the wrong release date for Shrem's prison stint — in September 2018, the Winklevoss twins sued Shrem for $32 million, claiming that he stole thousands of bitcoins from them in 2012. An affidavit filed in that case suggested that the $950,000 restitution required in Shrem's 2014 conviction had not been paid. In 2019, a judge overturned an order freezing $32 million of Shrem's assets, ordered the Winklevoss twins to pay Shrem's legal fees, and the case was dismissed.
In 2017, Shrem joined Jaxx and served as its chief operating officer, subsequently founding the cryptocurrency advisory firm CryptoIQ.
An impressive post-prison turnaround... but why hasn't he registered his car?
/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenUFC: Assault of Colby Covington by Jorge MasvidalReal World Police2023-01-02 | According to the Miami Beach Police Department arrest affidavit, on March 21, 2022, at approximately 10:55 p.m., officers were dispatched to 736 1st Street, Miami Beach, Florida, for a disturbance. The victim was UFC fighter Colby Covington, and he reported that he had been attacked by fellow UFC fighter — and his former roommate and training partner — Jorge Masvidal.
According to Covington, he had exited Papi Steak Restaurant when Masvidal ran up from his left side and sucker punched him in the mouth and eye, breaking one of Covington's teeth. Covington stated that Masvidal said "You shouldn't have been talking about my kids," during the attack. Covington observed three or four other males also approaching him in an aggressive manner during the attack, and he attempted to create distance by pushing one of the males and re-entering Papi Steak Restaurant to avoid further injury.
Covington advised that Masvidal had been wearing a blue surgical face mask, a hoodie, and sweatpants, but that he was able to identify Masvidal due to their long-standing relationship as former roommates, training partners, and friends. Covington stated that he had immediately recognized Masvidal by his voice and by the upper half of his face, which included his long curly hair, which was sticking out of his hoodie. One of Covington's front teeth was chipped during the incident, and Covington further stated that his Rolex watch had been damaged; repair of the watch was subsequently estimated to cost $15,000.
Police attempted to contact Masvidal, and in response received a phone call from Masvidal's attorney, who invoked Masvidal's rights. Masvidal surrendered himself to the Miami Beach Police Department. Previously, Real World Police published footage of Masvidal turning himself in to police and being transported to jail, as well as an audio recording of Colby Covington's statement to the police. In this video, Real World Police presents exclusive, never-before-seen police body cam footage from the response to Papi Steak House on March 21, 2022. Note that this video presents footage from multiple body cameras, covering much of the same, relatively-brief time period.
Due to Florida's victim's rights law, Colby Covington is blurred throughout this video.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenPolice Chief Arrested For Drunk Driving, Part IIReal World Police2022-12-28 | In today's exclusive, we present additional footage from the September 12, 2021, drunk driving arrest of Olla, Louisiana Chief of Police Jody O'Bier.
According to the report of Caldwell Parish Sheriff's Office Deputy Dustin Hatten, at approximately 2:17 a.m. on September 12, 2021, Hatten was patrolling US-165 near LA-847 when he observed a sedan on the shoulder of the road, and a male subject, later identified as O'Bier, standing outside the vehicle. Hatten approached the vehicle to investigate and possibly render assistance. When Hatten approached, it became apparent the subject was Olla Chief of Police Jody O'Bier... standing at the rear of the vehicle urinating.
Hatten asked if O'Bier was, in fact, urinating, and O'Bier responded "Yep."
From the report of Deputy Hatten: "As Jody gathered himself and turned to face me, he stumbled and fell against the vehicle. I detected a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his person, his speech was slurred as he spoke and he could not complete a sentence without stumbling his words. Jody advised he had one Ginger Ale with alcohol at an establishment in West Monroe prior to driving.
I then spoke with the female passenger, Kirstie Bryan who stated she had also been drinking but had consumed less than Jody. Without me asking further questions she advised she could drive the vehicle if needed, but it would be difficult due to her not knowing how to drive a standard transmission. After speaking with Kirstie, I offered the opportunity for Jody to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, to which he denied stating he was trained not to do so.
It should also be noted the interior of the vehicle had a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage. Jody was placed under arrest and transported to CCC by Deputy T. Ferguson where he was offered the opportunity to submit a breath sample using the Intoxilizer 9000 to which he refused. He was arrested and booked for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The vehicle was released to a friend, Justin Carr, who Kirstie left the scene with. Nothing further. Case closed with arrest made."
Investigation by Real World Police reveals that Kirstie Bryan and Jody O'Bier appear to have shared the same residence at the time of O'Bier's arrest.

Watch as Chief O'Bier states that training for Louisiana law enforcement officer includes guidance that if they — meaning, the officers-to-be — are ever arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, they should refuse all tests.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenRapper Hotboii Arrested for Firearm Possession by Convicted FelonReal World Police2022-12-21 | This video presents never-before-seen footage from a 2018 arrest. On September 22, 2018, at approximately 11:00 p.m., officers working a proactive detail observed a grey Suzuki SUV, and witnessed a black male, wearing a yellow pants and yellow/white shirt, remove a firearm from his waistband. According to officers, that male was Javarri Latre Walker, better known as the rapper "Hotboii." According to the police report, Walker activated the gun's laser sight, pointed it around the vehicle, and placed it back into his waist band. The vehicle then left the area.
As the vehicle made a right turn from Powers Drive onto Silver Star Road, the vehicle failed to turn to the most immediate right hand lane — a traffic violation. The vehicle also subsequently failed to use a turn signal on multiple occasions. Officers initiated a traffic stop of the vehicle at 7732 Silver Star Road, and all occupants were removed from the vehicle. The driver was identified as Jimmie Wright, the front passenger as Javarri Walker, one rear passenger as Tokiyo Major Jr., and the other rear passenger as Taheem Joseph. As officers approached the vehicle, they observed a black firearm on the front passenger-side floorboard, where Walker had been sitting. The firearm was identified as a Glock 32, serial number MMU790, with a rail mounted laser sight, and an NCIC/FCIC search of the firearm revealed that it had been reported stolen in 2014. Since Walker had previously been convicted of a felony, he was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
But there was more to the stop. Watch and see how it all played out.
The charges against Walker were ultimately dropped, however Walker was subsequently arrested and charged with, among other things, racketeering, as part of a sweeping Central Florida anti-gang operation. On June 30, 2022, Walker was taken into custody after he failed to appear in relation to his RICO case. Walker is currently incarcerated pending trial.

Chase, a CDL holder, has pleaded not guilty to one count of driving under the influence, a second-degree misdemeanor. The next hearing in his criminal traffic case is scheduled for December 5, 2022.
From the report of Officer Sean Peter Lefere, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: On August 14, 2022, at approximately 2339 hours, I responded to the area of South Dillard Street and East Story Road in Winter Garden, Florida, in reference to a possible disabled vehicle. On arrival, I located a white 2000 Ford F-250 in the straight lane facing westbound, with its engine running and lights on. As I approached the vehicle, I found a white male, later identified as Chase Mina, slumped over and asleep behind the steering wheel of the truck. Chase was the sole occupant in the truck and there were two open beer containers in the front two cup holders.
Contact was made with Chase, who had to be awakened by another officer. Chase was instructed to exit the vehicle and was asked where he was coming from. Chase advised that he was coming from "the ride home." Chase was asked again where he was coming from and continued to say he was coming from "the ride home." Chase was asked for his driver's license, and began searching for it in his pockets. Chase pulled out some cash from his pocket looking for his license.
While he was looking for his license through his cash, Chase dropped a single dollar bill onto the ground. Chase then began to go back to his truck to look for his ID. Chase was instructed not to go back to his truck, but he continued to place his cash in his truck and search his truck for his ID. Chase was again instructed not to go into his truck.
I asked Chase whether he had had anything to drink tonight, and he replied, "a little." Chase was asked if his ID was in his truck and he said yes. Chase spoke with slurred speech, had bloodshot eyes, had difficulty standing up, and had a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Chase was escorted to the side of the road and into a parking lot. While escorting Chase to the parking lot, he was stumbling and was unable to walk straight. Chase was instructed to lean on the hood of my patrol vehicle, and was then offered two opportunities to participate in field sobriety exercises. Chase refused to participate in field sobriety exercises and declined to answer any more questions.
Chase was placed under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence based on the following observations of Chase: Chase was slumped over and asleep behind the steering wheel of the truck in the driver seat, had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, had slurred speech when he spoke, had bloodshot eyes, could not stand up straight, stumbled as he walked, and admitted that he had been drinking.
Chase was secured into handcuffs which was checked for proper fit and double locked. - searched Chase's person prior to placing Chase into the back seat of my patrol vehicle. While searching Chase's person, I located Chase's driver's license inside of his shirt pocket.
I transported Chase to the Orange County DUI Testing Center, where he first agreed, and subsequently refused to provide a sample of his breath.

But on June 12, 2021, while leaving an album release party, the rapper ultimately found himself arrested and in the back seat of a police car. Along with his brother. His sister. And some of his fans.
Four months ago, Real World Police published exclusive footage showing Polo G taunting his arresting officer, bragging about how much money he has and asking the officer whether he has any stocks or Bitcoin, and, bizarrely, whether he knows how to play baseball.
Shortly after Polo G's arrest, his mother and manager — 'Momager' Stacia Mac — rallied together Polo G's fans. Among her posts was an all-caps Tweet asking where the police had taken her children.
Well, looks like she already knew the answer. "Them honkies" had taken her kids to the Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center ("TGK"), and to a juvenile detention facility. As shown in this video, Stacia Mac had already been provided the address for each facility, and had even written them down.
Moreover, despite subsequent allegations that Polo G had been stopped for no reason, in this video, Polo G's security guard appears to clearly acknowledge that they had been stopped because they had cut off a police car.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenFootball Coach Knocked-Out in Post-Game AffrayReal World Police2022-11-10 | From the report of Officer Luis Balderama, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: On November 13, 2021, at approximately 1148 hours, I was dispatched to the football fields in reference to an affray involving more than 30 people. This was the second time I had been dispatched to the football fields within the hour.
As I was en route, dispatch advised that there was a male subject knocked unconscious. By the time I arrived on scene, everything appeared to be quiet. As I exited my vehicle, I had to ask a female walking with her children if there was an affray going on, because I couldn’t tell based on my initial observation.
There were large groups of people hovering around the entire field. She advised that yes, there was a fight, it was all over and that it was further north of my location.
As I was walking, I was flagged down by a male subject who pointed to two male subjects who had just walked past me and advised that they were the instigators to the altercation and that was the reason why they were fleeing. I related this to officer Nathaniel Telles.
I then saw another small group of individuals surrounding one male who was on the ground and that was my victim, Mr. Enrique Aguilera. As I started relaying information to the fire department on where they could make entry into the park since we were right in the middle, I made contact with a female who was standing by Mr. Aguilera, and she was identified as Ms. Theresa Acosta. She was the fiancee of Mr. Aguilera and stated that the football game had been finished and her team was the Picacho Middle School football team.
She said that the players had finished the game and then as they were shaking hands with each other they started fighting. The kids started fighting and then the coaches tried to intervene and separate the children. The next thing she knew, parents started jumping in and then the parents started fighting with each other.
Video showed that the two teams had finished playing, and that during the process of shaking each other’s hands something was said amongst them. It caught their attention, as they stop moving, and then they start running toward each other. Then, some of the coaches and a few parents try to intervene and separate the children. A number of parents rush into the field and there are piles of people fighting on the ground.
I then spoke to Officer Telles, who had actually detained the male subject that I had called out initially. He stated that they were just involved.
As I was standing by with officer Benoit, David Chaparro came up to me and advised that he was the one who initially started the fight. He stated that he was on the Picacho team and was a friend of the head coach, Mr. Enrique Aguilera, who was transported to the hospital. He stated that the football game was over and a juvenile male on the Lynn Middle School team, wearing a red jersey with “87” on it, had said something to one of his players and the two started fighting. Then a white male coach from the Lynn team grabbed his player’s jersey and was about to punch him when Mr. Chaparro ran over there, threw the coach to the side. The coach then came back and punched him in the face. As soon as the coach had punched him in the face, he grabbed him and pushed him on the ground and the coach took him down to the ground as well, and then the next thing he knew, everybody just started fighting one another.
Watch as it all played out.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenShooter: The Interrogation of Aaron YbarraReal World Police2022-11-08 | On June 5, 2014, then-27-year-old Aaron Ybarra of Mountlake Terrace, Washington, opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person. Ybarra had intentionally gone off of his medication in order to feel his anger at the world. He had scouted the Seattle Pacific University campus, and then returned with a 12-gauge shotgun on the second-to-last day of classes, intent on killing as many people as possible.
Freshman Paul Lee, 19, was fatally shot outside Otto Miller Hall, and then-22-year-old Sarah Williams was critically wounded by a shotgun blast to her chest as she descended a staircase inside. Ybarra had attempted to shoot another female student, but his shotgun misfired and the student ran away. Ybarra was disarmed by Jon Meis, a school safety monitor who confronted Ybarra with pepper spray and tackled him to the ground. A third student, Thomas Fowler, was injured by shotgun pellets during the shooting.
Ybarra was ultimately convicted of premeditated first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of second-degree assault after a trial that lasted approximately one month.
In this exclusive interrogation footage, Ybarra is heard discussing his obsession with with school shootings and admiration of Eric Harris, one of two students responsible for the mass shooting and attempted bombing at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado in 1999. On November 16, 2016, Ybarra was sentenced to 112 years in prison.
The first of many additional interviews associated with this investigation is available now on Patreon, with more to follow. Today's interview is with Joel Ybarra, Aaron's brother. Listen as Joel reveals that Aaron had told him that he had been hearing the voice of Eric Harris urging him to shoot up a school. Joel describes his frustration with media coverage of the case, talks about their upbringing, and speaks of a call he had with Joel shortly before the tragedy at Seattle Pacific University. Joel reveals only a portion of that call, and then keeps the remainder secret by insisting that nothing else had been discussed — despite having stated only moments before that there had been more to the call. It's tragic. It's sad. And it's fascinating to hear.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenThe Prosecution of Skylar Nemetz: Evidence of Firearms ProficiencyReal World Police2022-11-07 | These videos were, in part, used by the prosecution in to demonstrate Skylar Nemetz's experience with firearms. Also seen in the videos is Tarrah Danielle Nemetz — Skylar's wife at the time, and the person he shot in the head at point blank range while allegedly attempting to clear an AR-15.
The following is excerpted from the report of Officer Darrell Moore, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: Skylar told me "I need to tell someone my story." I directed the fire department personal to the apartment so they could administer medical attention. Skylar again stated, "I want to talk to you." I stared at Skylar without saying anything. Skylar went onto say that he was in Yakima for field training with the military. Skylar said he returned home to his wife. Skylar said he loves his wife more than most other men, and that his love for her was special.
Skylar stated that he returned home from Yakima and he had left his wife with his rifle for her protection when he was gone. Skylar told me that he took out the magazine, and motioned taking out the magazine. Skylar said he was making the rifle safe, and for some reason he grabbed the rifle and shook it. I watched as Skylar demonstrated grabbing what I believed to be the upper portion of the rifle with his left hand and the lower portion of the rifle with his right hand. Skylar motioned holding the rifle at an approximately 45 degree cant. Skylar said, "I just shook it and it shot her." Skylar began to make sounds as if he was crying, but I could see that he had no tears coming out. I also noticed that he had no tears during my entire contact with him. [End of report]
According to neighbors, they regularly heard yelling coming from the Nemetz residence.
Skylar initially told his neighbor that his wife Danielle had shot herself while she been cleaning a rifle.
On November 24, 2014, detectives traveled to Eureka, CA, to conduct interviews. Among those interviewed was Samatha Minton, who stated that she knew Danielle most of her life. According to Minton, Danielle had met Skylar online ~2 months before they married. Minton stated that she had observed odd behavior between the couple. For example, when Danielle and Skylar would visit, Skylar would drop her off and leave for the day while he visited friends.
Detectives also interviewed Michayla Yingling, who had known Danielle her entire life. Yingling confirmed that Danielle had met Skylar online two months prior to their marriage.
Yingling said Danielle never gave her any indication Skylar was being abusive. She knew that Skylar had broken Danielle's cell phone, but she did not know the details. Yingling said Danielle never talked negatively about Skylar, but she got the impression that Danielle was being fake. Yingling stated that Skylar would not let Danielle come to her baby shower, and that Skylar was indecisive on wanting Danielle to get a job. Skylar would tell Danielle to get a job, and when she looked for a job he would tell her she didn't need one. Yingling said Danielle just wanted someone to love her and take care of her.
Yingling said Danielle thought her new boss was attractive, and that Danielle had told her that her new boss used to be an underwear model. Yingling said she had a FaceTime session with Danielle and her boss, while they were out to dinner. Yingling was positive that Danielle would not cheat on Skylar.
Yingling said on the night Danielle died she had a FaceTime session with her at approximately 1600 hours. Yingling said nothing appeared to be out the ordinary, and that at one point Danielle had pointed the phone at Skylar, who had smiled and waved to her.
According to Mikala Rippeon, Danielle's youngest sister, Danielle was always wearing long-sleeved shirts and turtleneck sweaters. Mikala remembered seeing what appeared to be fingertip bruises on Danielle's arms.
On February 24, 2015, detectives contacted Skylar's mother, Danetta Heller, as they had obtained information that she was possibly in possession of Danielle's diary that was taken from her apartment after the homicide. The following day, Danetta confirmed that she was in possession of Danielle's diary. Danetta stated there were some pages missing from the diary, but stated that she had not removed the missing pages. Danetta stated that she had removed the diary from the apartment because it contained information that she thought would be hurtful to her son, stating that Danielle was a "busy little girl." After speaking with Skylar's attorney, Danetta ceased to cooperate, however she turned over Danielle's diary to Skylar's attorney, who turned it over to the prosecutor. Several pages had been removed. There was an entry that was about a male named Kennedy, who Danielle had dated, stating that they were still having sex, and that Kennedy's current girlfriend, Chloe, did not know. That entry was dated April 23, 2012, prior to Skylar and Danielle’s relationship.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenMan arrested for driving 150 MPH in rented LamborghiniReal World Police2022-10-28 | On November 4, 2021, at approximately 9:14 a.m., Officer Ian Hamm with the Boulder City Police Department, Boulder City, Nevada, was stopped in the median of Interstate 11, near Mile Marker 12, when he noticed a white sports car traveling toward him at high speed. Officer Hamm estimated the vehicle’s speed to be in excess of 125 miles per hour, and locked the vehicle on LIDAR at 150 MPH.
Officer Hamm conducted a traffic stop on the car — a rented Lamborghini Huracan Evo — and arrested its driver, an Illinois carpenter named James Rice… complete with a somewhat bizarre rehearsed speech about calculus and the energy of a vehicle in motion.
Speech aside, James D. Rice was arrested for reckless driving… however, as Real World Police was first to uncover and report, many of Nevada’s highest-speed speeding tickets are ultimately pleaded down to non-moving violations, and Mr. Rice’s reckless driving charge was no exception. James D. Rice ultimately pleaded out to the equivalent of a parking violation. He was required to take “level 2 traffic school,” which a court employee confirmed to Real World Police is an online class, and Mr. Rice had to pay over $1,000 in fines and fees. He has a non-moving violation on his record.
Drive safe, folks.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenWoman named Honesty arrested for shopliftingReal World Police2022-10-27 | /r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenFlorida Man Arrested for Impersonating a Police OfficerReal World Police2022-10-25 | In late-November 2018, an unknown subject transmitted on Washington County Sheriff's Office's radio frequency, using a two-way communications device, without authorization. The subject used a radio device to speak and identify himself as Washington-37, Washington-21 and Washington-15, requesting "radio checks" and driver's license information regarding various subjects. The subject also set off "alert" tones on the Washington County Sheriff's Office dispatch radio frequency. The same subject later transmitted on Washington County EMS radio frequencies, identifying himself as "EMS-3" and "Medic-121."
At one point, a police lieutenant sent a radio signal to the transmitting device, intending to shut down the unauthorized transmissions. A short time later, the Washington County Sheriff's Office Communications Center received a series of the same signals, which shut down the Washington County Sheriff's Office Communications Center radio for several hours.
The unknown subject made multiple attempts to continuously disable Washington County Sheriff's Office radios, and sent disabling signals to EMS radios which disabled EMS communications for 13 hours, and later, again, for about seven hours.
A radio text message was subsequently received from the unknown subject advising, in essence, that he would leave the police alone, if they left him alone.
In January 2019, investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Office, while working a similar series of radio transmissions and service interruptions, developed a lead, and on January 4, 2019, BCSO investigators arranged a meeting with Cody Blaine Jones under the guise that they wanted to give him a "thank you" card for his assistance to the Sheriff's Office. Jones was advised that he was being detained, and he attempted to run, however Jones was tackled to the ground and was taken into custody, after which he gave this statement. When Jones was captured, he was found to be in possession of a police badge and gun. Jones had previously been prosecuted for his participation in a "swatting" network, along with various drug charges, and was a convicted felon. After being transported to the Bay County Sheriff's Office, Jones gave this recorded statement, along with another, much longer, recorded statement.
Cody Blaine Jones was ultimately charged with disruption of a computer network, unauthorized reception of communication services, three counts of falsely personating a law enforcement officer, depriving a law enforcement officer of a means of communication, unauthorized transmission to government radio frequencies, three counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and violation of probation. Jones was ultimately convicted on multiple counts and was sentenced to five years in state prison.
Jessica Ann Marie Davis was charged with accessory to a number of the charges against Jones, as well as perjury not in an official proceeding. All charges against Davis were eventually dropped, however Davis kept busy, and has since faced prosecution for driving without a license, driving a motorcycle without a motorcycle license, possession of paraphernalia, driving without insurance, failure to exhibit a driver's license, forgery (for attempting to pay for Taco Bell using a fake $100 bill), driving without a motorcycle endorsement (again), driving without a motorcycle endorsement (yet again), destruction of / tampering with evidence, and a probation violation.

/r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice @WhatYouHaventSeenArrest of Former MLB Outfielder Johnny Damon: Breathalyzer TestsReal World Police2022-10-15 | On February 19, 2021, retired Major League Baseball outfielder Johnny Damon was arrested for DUI and resisting without violence. On August 5, 2021, Damon entered into a pretrial diversion agreement — coincidentally, that happened just a couple of weeks after his arresting officer was arrested by the FBI. On March 15, 2022, Damon successfully completed pretrial diversion and his DUI charge was dropped; prosecutors never filed the resisting without violence charge.
Real World Police was the first media outlet to post the body camera footage from Johnny Damon's DUI arrest. It's time for the rest of the footage. Watch as Johnny Damon predicts that he will blow a .06%... then compare his prediction with his actual results at the end.

Do you think charges were ultimately filed? If yes, who do you think was charged?
Note that when John states that he was "69'ed" from the laundromat (see Urban Dictionary), he likely meant to say that he was "86'ed" (trespassed). Or maybe he didn't?

On arrival, officers were told that a "90-year-old man" lived in the apartment where the fire started, and it was unclear whether the man had made it out. Shortly thereafter, one of the property managers for the apartment complex arrived on scene and informed officers that the resident — Byron Anthony Hicks — was fine, and that he was standing outside watching the activity.
Watch the video to see what happened next.
Mr. Hicks was ultimately taken into protective custody and transported to a local area hospital, where a nurse made contact with Mr. Hicks' wife — "who wanted nothing to with him." A hospital psychiatric evaluation concluded that Mr. Hicks's delusions were the result of substance abuse rather than the result of another mental illness, and Mr. Hicks was arrested and charged with arson.
On February 11, 2022, all charges against Mr. Hicks in the Las Cruces Magistrate Court were dismissed without prejudice, however Doña Ana County District Attorney's office spokesperson Roxanne Garcia-McElmell informed Real World Police that Mr. Hicks is the subject of an active grand jury investigation. If the grand jury finds probable cause that Mr. Hicks committed one or more crimes, he will face prosecution in New Mexico District Court, a higher court than the magistrate court where Mr. Hicks was initially charged.
