>> deputy travis dykes: everybody likes the drug arrests and, you know, i'm the same way. i love to go out and find drugs, you know, get the dope off the street or anything else like that. um, it's always, there's

there's-- the thing of it is, though, you have to always keept narrow your focusoyou forget abl you can be so focused on looking at a car because you think there's gonna be dope in it that you'll drive right past a business being broken into. 408... 1050. (garbled radio transmission) this vehicle in front of us here has no tag lights, and his tag's not securely attached. we're gonna go ahead and make a traffic stop here on this one. ma'am, do you have your driver's license with you? >> no, i don't. >> dykes: you don't have a driver's license with you? do you have a driver's license? >> yes. >> dykes: you sure it's not suspended? >> no, it shouldn't be. >> dykes: it shouldn't be, or it isn't? >> no, i... >> dykes: i know it shouldn't be. >> no, i went to jail for driving on a suspended license. >> dykes: right. >> and they reinstated it, and i'm on probation right now for driving on a suspended. >> dykes: all right. >> and, um, i paid all my fines, and i'm waiting to go to get... um, i was on, they said, uh, four months probation, early termination... >> dykes: mm-hmm. >> ...after your fines are paid. >> dykes: all right, miss, can you walk on back here with me, please? where do you live?

>> i'm staying at the suburban lodge right now because of, you know, personal reasons, problems at home and... i'm sick and tired of getting my ass beat for no reason and him running around with everybody he knows, so... >> dykes: okay. >> sergeant bill dowdy: what do you know about the stuff in the truck? >> i don't... i mean, i go to work all day and i... >> dykes: my question is this. two days ago, we had a burglary at one of our local businesses, safety boot supply company. and in the back of this truck there's a bunch of property from the safety boot supply company. don't know anything about that? >> he did it. >> dowdy: i'm sorry? >> he did it. >> dowdy: who did it? >> the guy. >> dowdy: do you know that for a fact? >> mm-hmm. >> dowdy: how do you know? >> because he was at a house the other night where i was at and sold some boots. >> dowdy: oh, did he really? >> mm-hmm. >> dowdy: okay. and you're willing to cooperate and give us everything you know about that? >> yeah. >> dowdy: you sure? >> mm-hmm. >> dykes: all right, listen. >> yes, sir. >> dykes: this is serious stuff, okay? we didn't stop you tonight by accident.

>> i'm sorry? >> dykes: we didn't stop you tonight by accident. >> right. >> dykes: okay? you probably had a pretty good idea of why we stopped you. a few weeks-- a few nights ago, one of our businesses here got broken into. >> yes, sir. >> dykes: and you happen to have some of the merchandise from that business in your car. >> no, merchandise is mine. that's, that's-- everything... i've got receipts for everything that i own. i own my own business for eight years. >> dykes: you got stuff in your car that was stolen. >> everything is mine in that car. >> dowdy: mike. >> yes, sir. >> dowdy: let me ask you a question. do you have any burglary tools in this vehicle? >> no, sir. >> dowdy: you sure? >> yes, sir. >> dowdy: what about those, uh, bolt cutters under your seat right there? >> uh, i'm-i'm doing concrete work... i just did... >> dowdy: and you cut concrete with bolt cutters? >> no, i do, uh, rebar. i just did a, a pothole... i work for the, uh, homeowner's association in lost lake. >> dowdy: neither one of us are stupid. if you did something because you were with somebody else, that's one thing. you know, you can tell us about it, and we can help you with it. >> dykes: if you're gonna keep telling lies, we're just, it's not gonna go anywhere.

it's just gonna get worse for you. >> dowdy: now, you can sit here and give me your cockamamie story, all right, or you can be honest with us and write us a statement about it, all right? and we can go that route. you know, based from what you're telling me, you can be the witness or you can be the suspect. you understand? >> yeah. uh, i... >> dowdy: so tell me what happened. >> i-i... ...i-i don't know what is real. i don't know. >> dowdy: okay, whatever his name is... fred, whatever. >> i don't know, i don't know. >> dowdy: what we have is, this guy, uh, we received information from the nervous passengers that this guy was involved in a burglary, um, that occurred two days ago. uh, the burglary was actually reported to the sheriff's office to the safety and boot center here in town, in the city of stewart. some of the items stolen were work belts, tactical work belts, and that's exactly what we have

here. it's even got their, uh, name on the box. and, uh, we asked some information about them, and he's wrong, the prices are wrong that he gave us. so... we'll keep working it. your boyfriend bought a set of boots a little while ago? >> yeah. >> dowdy: who'd he buy them from? >> from him. >> dowdy: mike, so you wanna tell me about that? >> uh, i... >> listen... >> dowdy: you're calling her a liar? >> i... >> listen, mike, the one thing about martin county police is you've got to be honest with them. i've done my time and my share of work with them. but they're not after you. they want the person that was with you. it's not calling you a snitch, it's just, you know what? it's a wake-up call to get out of this situation. you know? look at charlie, went to prison for two years, i mean, he's cleaning up his act, you know? it's not easy. i know that, and it took a long time for me to clean up my act, but if you're honest with them and say, "look, yeah, i (bleep) up, here's the deal." you know? >> dykes: i told you, if you're gonna be honest with me, that we'd work with you and, you know, you go about your merry life, but you don't wanna play

that game, so we'll just put you in jail. >> i, i picked him up and he had some stuff. i mean, i didn't, he didn't say where it came from. i don't know, you know, i don't know this area that well. >> dowdy: well, turn around and put your hands behind your back. >> dykes: turn around. all right, mike, we gave you the opportunity. we gave you more than enough of opportunities. >> i was honest. >> dykes: you didn't wanna cooperate, now we're gonna go ahead and go with what we got. >> dowdy: he has tools that are typical, you know, if this stuff was in a toolbox, it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but having this under your seat, this next to your seat and this in your pocket, you know, if i was with the fbi, i'd think it's a clue that he's probably out doing things that he shouldn't be doing. listen, it's like the other day, i was telling you, you know, you think you got an iq of 142, but yet you're out here stealing from people. >> i've never stolen anything in my life. >> dowdy: well, you're out here committing crimes that you shouldn't be committing. >> i didn't commit any crimes. >> dowdy: okay. let me ask you this. stand up. >> i've never committed a crime in my life. >> dowdy: you're on probation. >> yeah.

>> dowdy: how did you get on probation? >> uh... >> dowdy: you volunteer for it? >> volunteered. >> dowdy: you volunteered to do 12 years probation? >> yes, sir. >> dowdy: for burglary? >> yeah. >> dowdy: okay, now i'm supposed to believe that? well, maybe you'll go ahead and voluntarily admit that you stole this stuff and voluntarily go to jail so the streets will be a little bit safer. slide back in there. >> yes, sir. how can you get back pain relief that lasts up to 16 hours? with thermacare heatwraps. the only wrap with patented heat cells that penetrate deep to relax, soothe, and unlock tight muscles. and now, introducing reusable thermacare cold wraps.

i'm doing my own sleep study. advil pm® or tylenol pm. the advil pm® guy is spending less time lying awake with annoying aches and pains and more time asleep. advil pm®. the difference is a better night's sleep.

>> officer joe patton: my great grandfather was one of the original texas rangers. my dad was a deputy sheriff in dallas before he went in the military, and, um, it's just pretty much in my blood. i got cousins on departments in dallas and fort worth, so it's just something i've been wanting to do my whole life. >> (over radio): ...occurred at hollywood and lake mead at an unknown-name bar. >> patton: we're en route to a, uh, shooting call. the subject called in saying that he was shot in the hand. >> (over radio): there's a bar up there called the road runner. >> dispatcher (over radio): okay, copy. is there a unit that can be en route to the road runner at hollywood and lake mead? >> patton: there's a 24-year-old

male shot in the hand. we're arriving with the victim now. he's, uh.... he's saying he was up at a bar at lake mead and, uh... lake mead and hollywood, and, uh, got into a little argument with some guys, and, uh... they pulled a gun on him, and he went to grab the gun, and they shot him in the hand. let me see your hand, man. >> be careful. it's bleeding. >> i know. (garbled radio transmission) i don't know if it exited right there. it was so close, you could see the muzzle blast. >> patton: tell me what happened. >> we're on the side. we're at hollywood and lake mead at the albertsons. >> patton: you were at the albertsons? >> went on the side where there's a tattoo shop. >> patton: okay. >> i was out there. three latino mexicans got out and said, "hey, do you have a problem?" i said, "no, no, no, i don't have no problem." as i was backing up, they were coming towards me with a gun in my face. so i had no chance but to grab that gun and put it to the side, or else, i-i was dead. >> patton: they didn't say, "give me your money?"

they weren't trying to rob you or anything? >> no. it was... truthfully, i think it was gang-related. >> patton: are you in a gang? >> heck, no. >> patton: okay, they're in a gang. >> heck, no. never been in a gang. >> patton: well, how... what would lead you to believe they were in a gang? >> uh, just the colors that they were wearing, the bandanas and the... their, uh, gangster shoes and... >> payton: they were wearing gangster shoes? >> yeah. >> patton: were they yelling out gang names or anything like that? >> not at all. not a all. >> patton: nothing like that? >> not at all. >> patton: okay, so you just think it was gang-related 'cause of what they were wearing. >> oh, yeah, oh, yeah. of course. look how close the muzzle blast. if it wouldn't have been for me pushing it to the left, it would have been my head. >> you want to go to the hospital by ambulance, or take yourself or what? >> i'll take myself. >> all right. do you want us to clean it up or anything? >> could you, please? >> sure, we'll get a bandage on it so it doesn't mess up. >> officer mike pendleton: all right, so you didn't see him, you said, shoot himself, but he was far away? how far away was he? >> he was, like, from, like, maybe here to that house. (dog barking) >> pendleton: okay. >> like-like, if you go there,

there's a parking lot. >> pendleton: you saw... did you see the, uh... >> no, no, i-i didn't see, like, the actual shooting. >> pendleton: you didn't see the light come out of the gun or anything like that? >> no, no, no, nothing like that. >> pendleton: okay. all right. okay. >> that's-that's the honest truth. i don't know. they were, like, making up a story because he was going to get his-his license taken away for guns and this and that. you know, he's a gun freak. he was all tripping out on suicide. that's-that's the honest truth. you know. >> pendleton: okay, well, that's what we're looking for. >> patton: i'm going to ask you some questions, okay? i want you to be completely honest with me. you're a victim of a crime. do you understand that? >> no, i don't. >> patton: you don't understand that you're a victim? 'cause someone tried to pull a gun on you and shoot you. >> yeah, i'm a victim of a crime, right? >> patton: you're a victim, okay? and we want to do everything in our power to help you. >> okay, and i appreciate that. >> patton: okay. what i need from you, though, is complete honesty. >> i told you everything i know, sir. >> patton: okay, have you ever tried to commit suicide? >> one time. >> patton: do you own a gun at all? what kind of gun do you own?

>> a 12-gauge. >> patton: just a shotgun? that's it? you don't have a handgun? >> yeah, i also have a handgun. >> patton: okay, what kind of handgun do you have? >> a .22. >> patton: a little .22? okay. here's the deal, man. you're not in trouble, okay? i understand... >> what would i be in trouble for? >> patton: i just want you to know that you're not going to jail for anything. you understand? (garbled radio transmission) do you understand? okay, but what i'm concerned about is you calling in and saying that someone tried to shoot you, and you couldn't even describe to us what they looked like, and-- hold on, let me talk for a second, okay? and i had a witness over here that says that he saw you out front with your brother, okay, and you had a gun in your hand. >> a gun? >> patton: is that not true? >> who's the witness? >> patton: how's it coming? and you're his, uh, stepbrother? >> yeah. >> patton: can you tell me real

quick what happened? >> we were at the bar. >> patton: which bar? >> nelson knows. >> patton: okay. >> and we were just shooting some pool. we just got there. it hadn't been too long, and then, um, he got on the phone with my dad, he went outside. so we're out there, and he's depressed, yelling and screaming on the phone and... >> patton: are you in the back of the bar? >> no, i'm in the parking lot. >> patton: okay. okay. >> i followed him out a few minutes later. i didn't want to just jump on his conversation. >> patton: right. >> so a few minutes later, you know... i was, like, trying to get him to come back in, and, um, he was on the phone, just all upset, and next thing i know, you know, i was standing there and the gun went off, and... >> patton: where did he have the gun? >> supposedly, on him somewhere. i don't know... >> patton: oh, he never told you that earlier? >> no, so the gun went off, and i just jumped, and then i went over there to see what happened, and then, you know, he's bleeding. i don't know exactly where yet. i just jumped in the car, jumped in the car, got on the cell phone and try and get somebody here. then he held his hand up in the car, and it had a-a hole in his hand. >> patton: right. >> and then we came here, and then, the rest is... you guys know what the rest is. >> patton: i just want to explain something to you, okay? we get the call from you, okay,

so we're sending units here, and now you guys are fabricating a story about some hispanic gang bangers... hold on. i'm just explaining. you're not in trouble. >> okay. >> patton: you're not in trouble, man. i'm just explaining it to you. okay. just so you know for the future, in case you have any problems with your brother, how important it is to be honest with us right away, okay? because when we get a "shots fired" call, or someone's hit, even if it's in the hand, we're rolling lights and sirens, okay? >> right. >> patton: everyone's dropping what they're doing, and they're coming here because this is priority to help someone, right? >> okay. >> patton: so not only do we have people coming here, but we had people going up way out of the way to lake mead and hollywood, okay? >> i understand. >> patton: you know what happens when we roll lights and sirens behind you, right? >> no, i don't. >> patton: and you pull over to the side. well, some people don't pay attention, okay? when people don't pay attention, people get into accidents, we could have had officers hurt. >> i know. >> patton: does that make sense? >> yeah, no. people that didn't do anything wrong would be in trouble... >> patton: believe me, i completely understand that you were scared and nervous for your brother, i do. >> no, no, definitely.

>> patton: okay? now we're going to get your brother some help, okay, 'cause he needs some help. so he's going to go to the hospital, not only for his hand, but so he can talk to some people. we're going to get him help, okay? >> that sounds good. >> patton: all right, man, thanks a lot. appreciate it, okay? >> sorry about all this. >> patton: that's okay, man, it's okay. >> officer (over radio): 132 and bush. i've got him at gunpoint. >> dispatcher: at gunpoint, 132 and bush. cover is code three. >> officer: (indistinct response) >> dispatcher: unit 25, 14-10 transferred on track two. >> officer: ...code three.

. we are here at the u.s. supreme court about prop six 8 on same-sex marriage. >> whatever the high court rules, you can bet there will be strong reaction in the castro, plus a controversial proposal targeting certain people and where they live, it's all ahead on the ktvu channel 2 morning news. >> complete bay area news

coverage starts right now, this is ktvu channel 2 morning news. >> good morning everybody, it is wednesday, june 26th, i am brian flores. >> let's check in with steve paulson, it is still a little missty, -- misty and drizzling. >> they got slammed, steady, steady rain, we do have a lot of low clouds left behind and those high mid-level clouds will burn out and it will start to warm up, especially inland. >> good morning, right now traffic is moving along pretty well around the bay area, let's go right to what we have here with 880, visibility is good and i think today we are going out on a limb and we will have a better commute, it is dryer, visibility is better and it is not like yesterday when we had bad ones. so much for that good visibility here and it is a

little bit foggy as we drive out to the mcarthur maze. let's go back to the desk. in just two an ahab and a half hour dash two and a half hours -- two and a half hours they will hand down the verdict. the justices have three cases left to rule on including proposition 8 and the defensive marriage act. the high court begins issuing rulings at 7:00 a.m. and it is possible when the supreme court ruling comes down, it will be awhile before we know exactly what it means. sometimes those rulings are confusing the way they are written. they could strike down proposition 8, they could uphold proposition 8 or they could decline to rule and it will depend on whether it applies only
