Cops these days view doorbell security videos of all sorts of sordid things.
What one deputy saw on Sunday afternoon, however, was one for the history books. It began after a woman on Stuart Circle called 911 and reported that her neighbor dumped a bag of trash in her driveway, captured on her doorbell security camera. It wasn't your garden variety bag of trash, but rather "used toilet paper with fecal matter," according to the incident report.
Added the incident report: "The video showed a heavy-set balding black male, walk to her driveway with a trash-bag, and dump the pile of used tissue onto the ground." The woman identified the man in the video as Erick Stephens, her neighbor.
The deputy then walked to Stephens' home, and he apparently knew that he was caught brown handed, "vaulting off the porch and starting to flee on foot." Stephens then ran "through a fence" and then over another one, hoofing it towards Lee Drive. His pace slowed, however, and the deputy tackled him in the front yard of 125 Lee Drive. "After a brief struggle," Stephens was handcuffed.
The deputy then discovered that Stephens, 46, already had an active warrant for false report of a crime. Stephens previously told officers that the Discount Tobacco store owner “pointed a gun at him and threatened to shoot him” and accused him of always attempting to shoplift inside of the store. An officer later reviewed store security footage, which revealed that “no weapons were involved and (the store owner) never chased him out of the store.”
New charges of littering, criminal trespass and obstruction of an officer were added.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 90 and low of 72 degrees. Partly Cloudy for the morning, clear overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
