Live PD: Good Person, Bad Choices (Season 3) | A&E

- Make a stop on this vehicle up here. He's failing to maintain his lane. [sirens] How are you doing, sir? Good. Deputy Connell with the Sheriff's office. The reason-- OK, your tags don't belong on the car, but also, you weren't maintaining your lane. What's all the tattoos for? Would you mind stepping out for me real quick? Do you have anything in the vehicle illegal, any weapons, any drugs, anything like that? Do you not have anything like that in the vehicle? OK, where is that at? Don't reach on me 'cause I see the knife. OK, go ahead and turn around and face the car real quick. How many knives do you carry on you? OK. When was the last time you used any meth, heroin, or anything like that? Be honest with me. OK, what did you last use? Meth? Well, here's the deal. I'm going to be searching the vehicle now. All right. You're not being arrested, but while I'm doing the vehicle search, since I'm by myself, I'm going to go ahead and detain you. What are the pills back here? Why do you carry them in a cigarette pack? So he was not lying. These are just a penicillin pill. It's not a controlled substance. So we're going to seize his marijuana to destroy it and we're going to kick him loose. Here's what I'm going to do with you. I'm going to kick you loose. I'm taking your weed from you and your grinder and your pipe. That's going to get logged for destruction. I'm not going to arrest you. I'm not going to press any charges on you. Don't carry that in your car while you're traveling through Greene County, period. All right. It's against the law. It's drugs. Don't have it. If you're using meth, quit using meth. It's going to tear you up. How, at 52, are you doing meth? All right. You're getting away as a warning today. Take it as a blessing. Take it as luck, whatever you want to take it as, all right. But clean it up. No more drugs. I mean, you don't look like a bad person at all. You do make bad choices. All right, fair enough with you? - What's your name? Deputy Connell. - Thank you, Connell. I appreciate it. - You're welcome. I'm going to take that with me. It will be logged for destruction. I'm not going to file any charges on you. Our job here isn't always to arrest people. Sometimes it's to help people. So I felt like talking to him and trying to explain to him to change his lifestyle helped him. He said he's going to, and at his age, he needs to for his health issues. So hopefully, this interaction today will help him with his life.
