00:07:28
carry with them to mix a fix I looked through the crack in the door and I saw the person that was sitting on
00:07:36
the toilet was holding a hypodermic needle in their right hand so if uh they're in there for a legitimate
00:07:44
purpose of going to the washroom they wouldn't be holding the hyper nerve needle in their hand so that'd give us
00:07:48
the grounds to uh open the door and search for drugs inside there liquor control and
00:07:55
Licensing act allows the police to search the women's and men's washrooms
00:08:01
and license premises and basically for any type of people that are passed out in the wash

this gentleman here for the last year approximately 20 or 30 times the rest of them several times
00:25:24
regarding drug related charges he's uh well known to us and quite obviously doesn't like us too much
00:25:32
uh we're able to arrest him on this because of the familiarity we have with them and the cpic entries uh stating
00:25:40
that the curfew in effect also been advised by radio that there's several different sold for this gentleman by uh
00:25:48
New Westminster he'll be going to jail for the night and seeing a judge in the morning

00:27:12
trust me it won't happen am I gonna find any other little caches of money okay my partner had observed
00:27:21
the two parties against the wall here and there was an exchange between the two of them we were across the street by
00:27:29
the time we made it across the street we were made they'd seen us we started to
00:27:33
walk away a fellow that I had fell in the brown jacket as soon as I came towards them
00:27:40
a whatever he had in his hand he stuck in his mouth and he swallowed it so I missed an opportunity to find out
00:27:48
whatever it was you want to go over and see what this call is we got a report that somebody has got a broken
00:27:56
neck so at this point it's a casualty report try to beat me up well yeah why are you chasing them
00:28:05
[Music] all right who else saw Dave who else saw who else saw the fight the bouncer threw that guy out of the
00:28:19
bar when we were coming in the place [Music] said to him he said take it easy on him
00:28:31
he's an older guy walked by he was bringing them out okay thanks a lot it appears what happened
00:28:39
was he was escorted out of the bar and fell we've got conflicting savings from
00:28:46
a few people have come forward nobody actually witnessed what might have happened
00:28:53
but again it's a good possibility that he was put outside and then fell down at
00:28:57
the corner here this call came in as a man with a broken neck it's part of the I guess it has
00:29:04
hysteria of Dallas kids it's uh what it is is a casualty it's most likely nothing more than a few
00:29:13
bumps and bruises and a scrape he'll be taken to the hospital for observation
00:29:18
and then most likely release to go home we're going to an incomplete phone call
00:29:22
we don't know exactly what's going on basically just a lady called in to say
00:29:26
that uh she's having some problems in her room so we'll try to figure it out when we get
00:29:30
here yeah please do you have the key room 11. thanks you know what's going on
00:29:36
there uh last week uh buddy pulled a 900 yeah he went out the fire escape through
00:29:43
the window came back in so that he's there again does he have a knife this one let's get full tonight and he's
00:30:00
in the room right now until my roommate he wanted to kill my roommate he put his
00:30:04
hands up with everything police guys but please couldn't do anything because
00:30:22
my roommate was drunk do you know where he is right now he's I'm sorry he's like a mentors right
00:30:28
now okay so what do you do anything to you right now well I came upstairs because if I come up he went out the
00:30:35
fire escaped he came he smashed the window came in and we were going down something else smashed and we could hear
00:30:41
this before we even got down the stairs okay did he have a knife now no the police
00:30:46
okay he doesn't have another knife right now did he do anything with the knife today
00:30:53
so you're just you're just calling because he's back in the place where's his wife she's right in there
00:31:00
okay okay can you stay here just wait there please basically we're back again
00:31:06
there was a similar call yesterday actually exact same he came in with a knife and was uh threatening the lady
00:31:11
with the knife sounds like it's their common law so we're back again he apparently got out
00:31:15
of jail and came right back to his uh to his place and now we have to deal with this all over again
00:31:23
assault mischief says you go upstairs do not open the door and walk in that room because he
00:31:38
took a knife after my roommate I'm gonna walk downstairs with the guy wait for a
00:31:42
wagon okay we called one I'll call him okay do you want me to go with you John all right I'll be okay I
00:31:48
just want to make sure our bikes were okay too Mike yeah all right thanks appreciate it all right
00:31:54
what it looks like I actually if you came out to fire escape climbed through a window
00:31:57
there was a similar thing yesterday he's probably now got a restraining order
00:32:01
because he went to jail yesterday for threatening with a knife so he probably shouldn't be here well to check on that
00:32:06
on our computer so that he doesn't have a knife this time we took it away yesterday from him
00:32:10
but uh we're back to the same drawing board so we'll take him back to jail and
00:32:14
we'll start all over again it's unfortunate the statement say yesterday he threatened his uh calm a lot and now
00:32:19
he's back again doing the exact same thing less than 24 hours so well see what happens this time when he
