Lane: All right.

Speaker 17: Was he fighting with you guys for a long time?

Lane: I mean a little bit, but not a long time, maybe a minute or two. We were just trying to get him in the squad, and then he came out the other end, so we were like we'll just wait.

Speaker 17: No. A lot of activity prior?

Lane: It took a bit to get him, l mean we got him out of the car and handcuffed him, and were walking him over there, walking across the street. You need me to trade places?

Speaker 17: Yeah. [inaudible 00:29:28].

Lane: You guys need me here still?

Speaker 17: You‘re good, we’re good. Thank you.

Lane: Okay.

Speaker 17: There's a bag over-

Lane: 320 Baker to Able, I’ll he at Park and 36 when you‘re done there. What's that? Okay.

Speaker 19: [inaudible 00:30:09] just watch the foot pedal it's down there [inaudible 00:30:22].

Lane: 0h. That‘s me, that's good.

Speaker 19: Okay. [inaudible 00:30:27]. So what happened, more drama at Cup Foods?

Lane: Cup Foods, yeah. It was just a forgery report, and that was the guy that they said was the person that had given them a fake bill. We went over there, and yeah just

Speaker 19: Went bananas?

Lane: Yeah. l mean he was--we were trying to get him out of the car, he kept his hand like this basically, wasn’t showing me his hands. So I'm like, "Let me see your other hand." I gave him a couple commands for that, he wouldn't do it, and then he finally did. So then we're like all right we're going to get him out of the car right now. Because he kept looking for the key, I thought he was going to try and drive off.

Speaker 19: Oh geez.

Lane: Yep.

Speaker 19: Man. Yeah, we didn‘t understand because it was like come to the, so we're there and the officers are like no no no, and yeah, the crowd was a little there, yeah.

Lane: Yeah.

Speaker 19: Man, yuck.

Lane: Not sure if my cohort is coming here. L gave my location. Otherwise, l might just ride with them and help them there.

Speaker 19: Okay, Yeah.

Lane: Was there a big crowd there then?

Speaker 19: Yeah, more inside. We waited our new SOPs are to ah, to wait like if I have cooties going on, so like captain usually goes in and maybe brings the rookie, it kind of depends. And then [inaudible 00:31:49] yeah we just waited because it was like [inaudible 00:31:54] code 2 mouth injury. And then as we're sitting here I'm like now it says code three, l just don't understand. And then we figured out where it was so, and then one of your officers was like hey, “Hey ding-dongs, you're at the wrong spot."

Lane: I'm not sure if he's coming here, but. Oh you guys still have the roll down.

Speaker 19: Oh yeah, you know.

Lane: Nice.

Speaker 19: Nothing but the best. Yeah. Yeah, so he crashed in the [inaudible 00:32:22]. wonder what he was on.

Lane: I’m not sure, but yeah he seemed very agitated and paranoid.

Speaker 19: That's a shame.

Lane: Yeah.

Speaker 19: It seems like if it's witnessed, the results can be pretty good if they‘re doing CPR right away, so that's good. Because they get stuff going so quickly, and

Lane: Yeah.

Speaker19: But yeah, they need more hands, that's why.

Dispatch: [inaudible 00:33:25] please return to Cup foods[inaudibie 00:33:25] right there. Check in with her make sure she's okay [inaudible 00:33:25].

Lane: [inaudible 00:33:25] They're going down to county?

Speaker 19: They‘re going to go down to county. I'm going back to Cup Foods. I'm just going to talk [inaudible 00:33:30].

Lane: Yeah.

Speaker 19: We can take you there.

Lane: I'll just check and see if they want me to go with. Do you guys want me riding with or?

Speaker 17: No, we‘ll be all right. There are plenty of people, thank you though.

Lane: All right. Yeah, if you don't mind giving me a ride back up there?

Speaker 19: No problem. Yeah, [inaudible 00:3dzl4].

Lane: Code four, going off. Going back to Cup Foods.
