Come back down out land to feel like these, please miss adrenaline, dump, I'm down.

A

G

C

We're good I'll get all the paperwork started here shortly. I mean I'm Sergeant Tobin, with APD in the downtown unit. What is your relation to the gentleman.

E

C

Well, he was arrested tonight and he resisted arrest and ran from the officers and struggled in tune, and so once he was caught and arrested. He's got some scrapes on him and he's asked to go to the hospital to get checked out and so he's going to hospital, get checked out and then he's going to the bunch of County Jail for.

E

C

The offenses he committed in the midst of not complying with the officers.

G

C

All starting with trespassing, so he created a single.

E

C

Maybe intoxicating disrupted I don't know exactly.

E

C

Well, he was intoxicated on something anything.

E

I'm drinking on cuz he just got off from work and I just saw him just that quick. He just got off 11:55 we got home, so he can't have drunk anything that quick for him to come down here. Hope to get some hacker cigarettes and come back up that he didn't drink. Anything. Okay,.

C

He's going to jail so I have to build him out.

E

C

I, don't know what his release conditions are, gonna be, but I would imagine yes, he will have a bond of some sort.

C

But he won't be getting to jail for a while they're going to the hospital and he's got to be cleared by medical personnel and then from there they'll take him to the jail, but they still have to swear out all their warrants, and so it'll be several hours before you'll know what his exact release conditions are.

E

God it's father's number! That's that screwed me up right. There.
