00:02:05
man is quickly rescued from the balcony and brought back to safety but as cops would soon find out after there's a
00:02:11
catch they said they thought there was an old guy in one of these but I mean it was fully engulfed when we got here
00:02:16

okay so 90y old man yeah that's what they're saying they don't know if he was inside or not in addition to the person
00:02:40
that we got off yeah that guy I think he came from one of those uh sides thanks to the quick response times
00:02:46
of the fire department the fire is put out almost immediately but they're still worried about the resident of the
00:02:52
previously Ablaze apartment these concerns are only Amplified when they get confirmation that the man they saved
00:02:57
from the balcony is not the one they're looking for you okay do you need to get checked out did you get any smoke
00:03:04
inhalation just a little just a little bit and which one is your apartment next door right next door to the where they
00:03:10
were well I don't know you're all the way down on the end aren't you no second from me okay well if you need to get
00:03:17
checked out there's uh Medics here okay this is the second time I out of fire the firemen then head into the
00:03:27
apartment to search for survivors but the news isn't good you find anybody inside there supposedly that 90-year-old
00:03:34
yeah that's what everybody was saying but they don't know if he was in there or not out charcoal maybe yeah they find
00:03:39
anybody in that apartment negative no okay so he might be gone sounds like it all right thankfully though after
00:03:44
getting to talk to some more residents the cops get the news they were hoping for an officer looking for the occupant
00:03:50
of that apartment well we were told that there there might be somebody but as far
00:03:55
as I know him right there with the older G I'll let incident command know okay I'm trying to call his daughter but

00:04:06
standing over here perfect he's good so I'll let him know thank you this is a night they've done this to what do you
00:04:13
mean well there's a conspiracy between the Bandido and the Chicago Poli and the Chicago before we go down that rabbit
00:04:24
hole how do you feel all right I'll make it gentlemen to everyone's relief the man is alive and well and it seems as
00:04:33
though there were no injuries whatsoever caused by the fire but in amongst the 90-year-olds talk about conspiracies and
00:04:39
plots he makes a shocking confession that nobody on the scene expected do you live here sir I've lived here since 85
00:04:46
and then I moved up to was it your apartment that was on fire yeah oh okay I lit it you lit it yeah there no way to
00:04:54
get anybody else here oh okay they're in cahoots 681 go to three Poli chief that shot my
00:05:04
grandmother in front of a dozen people out there you have D come over here or he's over there never mind I'll go get
00:05:09
him all right just hang out for me okay hey uh this is your guy that lives in the apartment but I'm like yeah I'm
00:05:16
like hey do you live in the apartment that was on fire he goes yeah I lit it I couldn't get anybody else out
00:05:24
here there you go buddy said he lit it he couldn't get anybody else out here for any other reason so he said he lit
00:05:32
it for what I don't know I didn't ask him anything else hey this this makes your job very easy as an arson as far as
00:05:40
arson cases go this is likely one of the easiest cases this squad will ever have
00:05:45
come across however things quickly become even stranger he said that um oh yeah he started a fire well he he just
00:05:53
told me he has Air Force One on standby at El Paso Airport so he can bring them back to the president and the president
00:06:00
was the one who sent him down here to do his job can we get him out of the elements like on the back of a unit
00:06:06
right now or sure we can take him to the PD or anywhere you want to go even to PC
00:06:12
him mhm um for starting the fire I I can't honestly say what the hospital is going to do dementia is kind of a
00:06:20
deteriorating disease that the peak really can't do anything to control I know if we take him to the hospital
00:06:27
they're just going to let him go detain the spine or well I would consider him that we're going to either detain him to
00:06:34
15 him or we're going to detain him to PCC so um hey Mr hit yes I'm going to escort you over here to one of the units
00:06:43
so that we can just keep you warm okay come on let's go on over here can't what I
00:06:52
can't F days okay in this cold it's difficult to decide exactly what to do with the man for multiple reasons prison
00:07:01
is no place for a 90-year-old as it is but now that he's claiming all these things about being on a private business
00:07:08
from the president and having Air Force One on standby the cops are worried the hospital won't even clear them to be
00:07:14
charged in the first place but since it's December they decide to at least put him in the back of a patrol car
00:07:20
while they decide what to do you ain't got any guns bombs knives or anything in your pocket right I got to check real
00:07:25
quick before I put you in my car no lighters or anything no all right got have a seat just pull your feet all the
00:07:30
way in so I can close the door okay what are we doing with this guy we're going to P seeing probably we can't arrest him
00:07:37
he's not even aware of what's going on are you guys going to charge him still though probably should we can but it's
00:07:43
going to get thrown out cuz he's not no yeah yeah no that's what I'm saying we'll yeah we'll do all the paperwork
00:07:50
and we'll push it through before the cops can arrest and charge him though they do have to take him to the hospital
00:07:55
to get checked out come on I'm com okay I'm I'm home I know you are let's go inside I got you don't touch me you
00:08:08
