Involved in a disturbance
with guns.
Tallowtree's a bad area.
Lot of, uh, drugs.
We're only a couple blocks
from there,
so we're gonna go check it out.
When there's a possibility
of guns being involved,
all my senses
are on high alert.
Where's that kid going?

>> made it to right there,
and I saw him pitch the gun.
>> that boy throwed it up there?
>> yeah, he threw it up there.
I saw the laser
came off of it.
Give this to the chief.
This is the laser
that he threw off on.
>> send us a crime scene unit
over here on Tallowtree
for 95-G, please.
>> do not look over here.
Face the wall.
We've gotten a call
for disturbance.
Does he need help up there?
And we saw a gentleman start to
kind of make it away real quick,
and Alex said, "can I talk
to you?"
And he started to run.
I got out.
Alex was ahead of me.
We heard a thunk.
He was throwing the gun.
It hit the stairs.
This is what we found.
And, uh, one in the tube,
fully loaded.
It was ready to go.
>> need you to run a subject
for me.
>> this is not mine;
I ain't go up the stairs, sir.
It's not mine, sir.
>> I asked whose gun it is.
>> it's not mine.
>> I know it might not be
your gun.
I'm asking you,
"whose gun is it?"
The man saw you the gun, man...
>> I ain't throw no gun.
>> he was up on your big ass.
>> did y'all search him good?
Now, look at this here.
Yeah, searched him,
found a big wad of cash.
>> you got a lot of money
in this pocket.
You slingin', big fella?
>> say, look on the ground
for dope,
'cause he ran over here
with the gun.
>> he was running this way.
>> y'all see anything else?
>> nah.
>> we looked around to see
if he dropped any drugs.
We haven't found any.
Well, the good news is,
we got him,
and we got a gun off the street.
>> now, he just got out of jail.
He just did a stint up north
somewhere in Louisiana.
He's a convicted felon,
and he's on probation.
>> what you on parole for?
>> probably.
>> we're gonna be taking him
down to the lockup
and processing him
with possession of a firearm,
Convicted felon.
>> with so many guns out there,
It gets harder and harder
to be a policeman and...
Easier and easier for criminals
to get away with stuff.
But that's not gonna stop us
from doing the best we can.
>> Larry.
Alex.
>> we ready as soon as you are.
>> let's get out of here, y'all.
>> is it my imagination,
or is telephone poles
all leaning
because of the storm?
Look at 'em.
>> yeah, they're all leaning.
>> when hurricane Katrina hit,
Sheriff Harry Lee and I
were together down here,
and all these telephone poles...
was just amazing...
were just lying on their sides.
Really makes you miss
old Harry Lee.
>> yes, sir, man,
I miss him to death.
Well this is a man right here,
the late, great Harry Lee.
>> had a certain ways about him.
>> yes, sir.
About a year ago,
our beloved Sheriff
lost his battle to leukemia.
And it's really left
a great void.
He was our boss
for a long, long time.
Damn.
And it's really left a great void.
How y'all doing?
How da neighborhood?
What's going on, cuz?
This is the easy part
of the job.
And being a police officer
is not about getting the bad guy
as much as being a friend
to the good guy.
>> how y'all been today?
>> what's going on, children?
>> y'all know this man?
>> Steve!
>> oh, Steven Seagal!
>> hey, how's it going?
>> I want a autograph.
>> he wants to say hello
to y'all.
>> now, that's a sexy man.
>> all right.
>> Steven Seagal!
Where he at, where he at, yo?
>> where he's at?
Right here.
>> hey!
>> there you go.
>> 80% of what Harry Lee and I
did together
was go out there and be a friend
to the community.
>> good to meet you.
>> how you doing?
>> oh, you're Steven Seagal.
>> that's right, that's right.
>> oh, man.
>> way back in the days
when Sheriff Harry Lee
first became sheriff,
that was one of
his primary objectives,
was to make certain that we
could open the lines
of communication
with everyone in the community.
>> everything cool?
>> yeah.
>> we often come back
in some of these neighborhoods
that we know are crime-ridden
neighborhoods
and let them know that we're
out here to help.
>> what you gonna be
when you grow up?
You have no idea?
It ain't too early
to start planning, you know.
Mechanic?
All right,
I'm a look you up.
You gonna give me
a discount?
>> I'll give you $5
if you can outrun him.
>> tell him to give you $5.
>> he's big and fat, though.
Look at him.
He's like a little hippopotamus,
huh?
>> you like him, huh?
>> oh, man.
>> you think he's for real?
>> I'm in the flesh right here.
>> you think I can take him?
>> uh, I don't know, now,
you know.
>> Steven Seagal working
with the Sheriff's office,
it gives us an opportunity
to break the ice.
We can learn intelligence
from the neighborhood
And just let people know,
"hey, we're the police,
But we're people too."
And we just want to do our job
and make sure that nobody
gets hurt.
>> well, who the best basketball
player?
>> me.
>> you the best?
>> a'ight, who the best singer?
>> me.
>> so out here bonding
with the community
helps build the trust
between them and us,
And it also makes it feel like
we're keeping
Harry's legacy alive.
Lots of love, you hear?
Y'all be cool, be safe,
you hear?
>> all right, for sure.
>> all right, man.
>> all right, thank you.
>> I think Harry Lee would have
patted me and my whole team
On the back and said,
"y'all doing good."
Stay out of trouble.
>> I will.
>> be happy.
>> I am.
>> all right.
>> let's roll, gang.
>> time to get back to work,
y'all.
>> hold up, hold up,
we got a flag-down.
>> is this guy
still in the house?
Alex, get me and ambulance.
>> hold up, hold up,
we got a flag-down.
>> is this guy
still in the house?
Where'd she go?
Okay.
>> is he hurt bad?
Get me an ambulance.
So just tell him that
the ambulance is coming, okay?
>> where's the suspect?
>> over here.
>> when the units
arrived on the scene,
The lady pointed
this guy out
as the one that beating the hell
out of her husband.
What, he drunk?
>> yeah, he's drunk.
He can't even walk.
>> he's intoxicated, uh,
some narcotic, I don't know.
But it looks like alcohol.
he's been drinking.
>> just drunk?
That's what they're saying.
>> what we have so far
is a spanish female
who seems to be claiming
that another spanish male
broke into her house
and beat up her husband.
>> do you know
what he's saying?
>> but we're gonna have to wait
until an interpreter gets here
So we can actually figure out
what happened.
>> what, they broke the glass?
>> yeah.
Oh, boy.
>> what'd he just kick
the door open?
I mean, what's the deal here?
>>
>> she said she was sleeping
in the back,
and he banged the door in
and came in.
>> the interpreter
says the suspect
is a friend of a roommate
that's living in the apartment.
>> apparently, the suspect
was playing a stereo too loud,
so the woman got up,
turned the stereo off,
and when she went back to bed,
the suspect allegedly retaliated
by beating on her husband.
>> it was this guy's probably
quite intoxicated, yeah?
>> well, this is exactly
the reason why we're out here.
when there's conflict
or somebody needs our help,
somebody's been beaten up,
somebody's been robbed.
we want to be there
to help them,
and that's the same thing
Harry Lee did,
and it's the same thing
we want to do.
>> good job, Mark.
Good man for the team.
All right, big chief,
you ready to roll?
See y'all at the next one.
>> Harry was everything to us.
I mean, he was like family
to us.
And out of respect to him,
one of the things
that we try to do is
Stay in close touch
with the two most important
women in his life,
Lai, his wife,
and Cynthia, his daughter.
Harry Lee's wife,
she's the closest thing
to our boss that we got now.
Ooh, on a hot day like today,
these flowers
not gonna last long.
>> oh, they're beautiful.
>> when I come here
to Harry's grave,
I really miss him.
He was an inspiration for me.
And coming here to his grave
and remembering him,
it always inspires me to try
to be a better human being,
to be a better police officer,
and, uh, really make him proud.
We're still here, boss.
We're still here.
You got the good days,
and you got the bad days.
It's best to stay busy.
>> yeah.
>> and that way,
the bad days
don't get so bad.
>> yeah.
>> so I called him
two days before he died.
"how you feeling?"
he said, "oh, I'm feeling good."
And then I said,
"well, I'm coming down in about
A week again"
and he said,
"I'll be waiting for you."
>> yeah.
>> he was always grateful
for you,
because I know you went
to visit him
and sat in the backyard
with him all Sunday.
>> well, it gave him
an uplift, you know?
>> yeah, you were
a very good friend to him.
>> when I first
joined the force,
Sheriff Lee became my mentor,
taught me
Many, many things about
being a police officer.
Became not only a mentor,
but like a father to me.
>> this is a picture
of his last day.
And he was fishing with my son.
This is the last photograph
taken of him.
>> it's amazing, huh?
Fishing the day
before he died,
How good is that?
>> yep.
>> doesn't get better than that.
>> yep, and that's the way
he would have wanted to go out.
>> hey, y'all, let's take a left
up here.
We're gonna check out
that spot.
>> well, we got some intel
that there's a lot
of drug slinging
at this location.
>> we also heard at roll call
there's a house over there
that's known for prostitution.
>> and we're just heading
over there to see if we can
do a little proactive
police work.
>> hang back for one second.
Pull in next door there;
he's hopping the fence.
>> get him.
I got the two out front.
Hands on the car.
>> watch the dogs!
Get back, get back.
Get him!
Get him!
>> get down!
Get down!
>> pull in next door there;
he's hopping the fence.
>> get him;
I got the two out front.
Hands on the car.
>> sheriff's office, stop.
>> watch the dogs!
>> we got him right here.
Get him!
Get him!
>> get back!
Get back, get back!
>> down! Down!
>> get back in the house!
>> put your hands
behind your back.
Don't move.
>> go back inside, baby.
>> get your dogs.
We got to check all of them.
We got information earlier,
just after roll call,
that there was possibly
some drug dealing
going on right here,
and as we came down the street,
we saw one subject take off
running.
We caught him in the backyard,
so now we're just doing a little
preliminary to find out
what he was running for,
who he is, and who these other
two are here.
>> you know,
you pockets is thick, man.
You don't mind if I take a look?
>> 1152, 1199.
Need you to run one
for me, please,
in the system.
>> he came up, and he saw us.
He ran.
Alex went out this way.
I told johnny to go around
So I could head him off
at the pass.
And sure enough,
he jumped the fence,
and he saw me coming,
and he just dove down,
and then I got on top of him
and cuffed him.
>> we're gonna have to look
for a while,
because he could have...
>> threw something.
>> he might have even had a gun
on him,
threw it in the grass here
somewhere.
>> that's possible.
>> did you hear that?
I think somebody's
in the trailer.
>> Sheriff's Office.
Open the door,
or I'm gonna kick it in.
>>
>> who?
Who's in there with you?
You by yourself?
>> yeah, yeah.
>> all right.
You stay in there.
>> all right.
>> stay in there.
I know you.
>> what you running from,
partner?
>> of what?
>> I ain't know what...
>> the police?
>> yeah, we look like bad guys,
huh?
>> are we gonna find anything
back there?
>> no, sir.
No, sir.
>> you smoked it already.
>> all right, all right,
just calm down.
It's gonna be a'ight.
These two guys were with the
other guys who took off running.
We just gonna run name checks
on them, make sure they clear,
don't have any outstanding
attachments or warrants.
>> well, who were you seeing
here at this house?
>> what you was doing in here?
>> you came to get some what?
>> a girl.
>> a girl?
>> pick her up?
>> oh, she was gonna
hook you up?
>> okay, how about you, fella?
What you was doing?
Oh, y'all was gonna hook up
together?
He's homeless, this guy here.
He's from Arkansas.
He live pillar to post.
Say he ran 'cause he's scared.
>> you know, but everybody
don't believe that, but...
I actually believe it.
He admitted it.
He said,
"man, I went in the house.
"I smoked the crack
that I had the money for,
"finished, and I was just
leaving when I saw y'all.
"and naturally,
somebody like myself would run
when you guys are trying
to get up on me."
Now, Johnny
has a different opinion,
Said, "man, you know,
he's not wanted,
and why would he run from us?"
>> nothing on him.
>> on him?
>> yeah.
>> all right, let's go.
>> we searched the area.
we were unable to find
any weapons, any contraband,
or anything like that.
Ran a records check on him.
he cleared,
as well as the other two guys.
Sent them on their way,
and we're back on the street.
>> you ain't holding nothing,
and you ain't wanted.
There no reason to run.
You get yourself hurt,
or somebody hurt.
>> save yourself
a lot of trouble.
>> investigation revealed that
he was not wanted for anything.
He said he was scared,
but he did admit to smoking
some type of narcotics
prior to us arrival.
Can't charge him with that.
>> you look like
you're about to pass out.
>> yeah, I'm about to pass out.
I'm pissed
because we didn't get nothing.
>> well, he finished smoking it
already.
>> all that trouble,
and we didn't get nothing.
>> today we're officially
inducting our new sheriff,
Newell Normand.
Harry Lee, unfortunately,
died during his term,
and so Newell had to assume
his position.
We all get to officially
welcome him
as our new sheriff.
And it's a good day.
Just fix everything perfect
here.
>> thank you.
Beautiful.
>> that's my boss, the man,
right there.
>> and I was at Indianapolis

It was phenomenal.
>> good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Colonel John Fortunato,
and I'd like to welcome you
this morning
to the inauguration ceremony
of Sheriff Mewell Normand.
>> Harry Lee was very fond
of Newell Normand
and knew that by virtue
of his personality
and his character that he would
be the perfect guy to take over.
>> so help me God.
>> so help me God.
>> congratulations.
>> and you know, this was
a great moment for all of us,
to see that Newell respects
Harry as much as he does
and loves and respects
the position in law enforcement.
>> I have never been more proud
than I am today.
Nine months ago,
I lost a friend and a mentor
and a father figure.
I know that he's looking down
today.
And there is a sense of pride
in not only me,
but in each
and every one of you.
Thank you so much
for being here today
and sharing this experience
with me.
>> me and my team
and our new sheriff,

patted me and my whole team
On the back and said,
"y'all doing good."
Stay out of trouble.
>> I will.
>> be happy.
>> I am.
>> all right.
>> let's roll, gang.
>> time to get back to work,
y'all.
>> hold up, hold up,
we got a flag-down.
>> is this guy
still in the house?
Alex, get me and ambulance.
>> hold up, hold up,
we got a flag-down.
>> is this guy
still in the house?
Where'd she go?
Okay.
>> is he hurt bad?
Get me an ambulance.
So just tell him that
the ambulance is coming, okay?
>> where's the suspect?
>> over here.
>> when the units
arrived on the scene,
The lady pointed
this guy out
as the one that beating the hell
out of her husband.
What, he drunk?
>> yeah, he's drunk.
He can't even walk.
>> he's intoxicated, uh,
some narcotic, I don't know.
But it looks like alcohol.
he's been drinking.
>> just drunk?
That's what they're saying.
>> what we have so far
is a spanish female
who seems to be claiming
that another spanish male
broke into her house
and beat up her husband.
>> do you know
what he's saying?
>> but we're gonna have to wait
until an interpreter gets here
So we can actually figure out
what happened.
>> what, they broke the glass?
>> yeah.
Oh, boy.
>> what'd he just kick
the door open?
I mean, what's the deal here?
>>
>> she said she was sleeping
in the back,
and he banged the door in
and came in.
>> the interpreter
says the suspect
is a friend of a roommate
that's living in the apartment.
>> apparently, the suspect
was playing a stereo too loud,
so the woman got up,
turned the stereo off,
and when she went back to bed,
the suspect allegedly retaliated
by beating on her husband.
>> it was this guy's probably
quite intoxicated, yeah?
>> well, this is exactly
the reason why we're out here.
when there's conflict
or somebody needs our help,
somebody's been beaten up,
somebody's been robbed.
we want to be there
to help them,
and that's the same thing
Harry Lee did,
and it's the same thing
we want to do.
>> good job, Mark.
Good man for the team.
All right, big chief,
you ready to roll?
See y'all at the next one.
>> Harry was everything to us.
I mean, he was like family
to us.
And out of respect to him,
one of the things
that we try to do is
Stay in close touch
with the two most important
women in his life,
Lai, his wife,
and Cynthia, his daughter.
Harry Lee's wife,
she's the closest thing
to our boss that we got now.
Ooh, on a hot day like today,
these flowers
not gonna last long.
>> oh, they're beautiful.
>> when I come here
to Harry's grave,
I really miss him.
He was an inspiration for me.
And coming here to his grave
and remembering him,
it always inspires me to try
to be a better human being,
to be a better police officer,
and, uh, really make him proud.
We're still here, boss.
We're still here.
You got the good days,
and you got the bad days.
It's best to stay busy.
>> yeah.
>> and that way,
the bad days
don't get so bad.
>> yeah.
>> so I called him
two days before he died.
"how you feeling?"
he said, "oh, I'm feeling good."
And then I said,
"well, I'm coming down in about
A week again"
and he said,
"I'll be waiting for you."
>> yeah.
>> he was always grateful
for you,
because I know you went
to visit him
and sat in the backyard
with him all Sunday.
>> well, it gave him
an uplift, you know?
>> yeah, you were
a very good friend to him.
>> when I first
joined the force,
Sheriff Lee became my mentor,
taught me
Many, many things about
being a police officer.
Became not only a mentor,
but like a father to me.
>> this is a picture
of his last day.
And he was fishing with my son.
This is the last photograph
taken of him.
>> it's amazing, huh?
Fishing the day
before he died,
How good is that?
>> yep.
>> doesn't get better than that.
>> yep, and that's the way
he would have wanted to go out.
>> hey, y'all, let's take a left
up here.
We're gonna check out
that spot.
>> well, we got some intel
that there's a lot
of drug slinging
at this location.
>> we also heard at roll call
there's a house over there
that's known for prostitution.
>> and we're just heading
over there to see if we can
do a little proactive
police work.
>> hang back for one second.
Pull in next door there;
he's hopping the fence.
>> get him.
I got the two out front.
Hands on the car.
>> watch the dogs!
Get back, get back.
Get him!
Get him!
>> get down!
Get down!
>> pull in next door there;
he's hopping the fence.
>> get him;
I got the two out front.
Hands on the car.
>> sheriff's office, stop.
>> watch the dogs!
>> we got him right here.
Get him!
Get him!
>> get back!
Get back, get back!
>> down! Down!
>> get back in the house!
>> put your hands
behind your back.
Don't move.
>> go back inside, baby.
>> get your dogs.
We got to check all of them.
We got information earlier,
just after roll call,
that there was possibly
some drug dealing
going on right here,
and as we came down the street,
we saw one subject take off
running.
We caught him in the backyard,
so now we're just doing a little
preliminary to find out
what he was running for,
who he is, and who these other
two are here.
>> you know,
you pockets is thick, man.
You don't mind if I take a look?
>> 1152, 1199.
Need you to run one
for me, please,
in the system.
>> he came up, and he saw us.
He ran.
Alex went out this way.
I told johnny to go around
So I could head him off
at the pass.
And sure enough,
he jumped the fence,
and he saw me coming,
and he just dove down,
and then I got on top of him
and cuffed him.
>> we're gonna have to look
for a while,
because he could have...
>> threw something.
>> he might have even had a gun
on him,
threw it in the grass here
somewhere.
>> that's possible.
>> did you hear that?
I think somebody's
in the trailer.
>> Sheriff's Office.
Open the door,
or I'm gonna kick it in.
>>
>> who?
Who's in there with you?
You by yourself?
>> yeah, yeah.
>> all right.
You stay in there.
>> all right.
>> stay in there.
I know you.
>> what you running from,
partner?
>> of what?
>> I ain't know what...
>> the police?
>> yeah, we look like bad guys,
huh?
>> are we gonna find anything
back there?
>> no, sir.
No, sir.
>> you smoked it already.
>> all right, all right,
just calm down.
It's gonna be a'ight.
These two guys were with the
other guys who took off running.
We just gonna run name checks
on them, make sure they clear,
don't have any outstanding
attachments or warrants.
>> well, who were you seeing
here at this house?
>> what you was doing in here?
>> you came to get some what?
>> a girl.
>> a girl?
>> pick her up?
>> oh, she was gonna
hook you up?
>> okay, how about you, fella?
What you was doing?
Oh, y'all was gonna hook up
together?
He's homeless, this guy here.
He's from Arkansas.
He live pillar to post.
Say he ran 'cause he's scared.
>> you know, but everybody
don't believe that, but...
I actually believe it.
He admitted it.
He said,
"man, I went in the house.
"I smoked the crack
that I had the money for,
"finished, and I was just
leaving when I saw y'all.
"and naturally,
somebody like myself would run
when you guys are trying
to get up on me."
Now, Johnny
has a different opinion,
Said, "man, you know,
he's not wanted,
and why would he run from us?"
>> nothing on him.
>> on him?
>> yeah.
>> all right, let's go.
>> we searched the area.
we were unable to find
any weapons, any contraband,
or anything like that.
Ran a records check on him.
he cleared,
as well as the other two guys.
Sent them on their way,
and we're back on the street.
>> you ain't holding nothing,
and you ain't wanted.
There no reason to run.
You get yourself hurt,
or somebody hurt.
>> save yourself
a lot of trouble.
>> investigation revealed that
he was not wanted for anything.
He said he was scared,
but he did admit to smoking
some type of narcotics
prior to us arrival.
Can't charge him with that.
>> you look like
you're about to pass out.
>> yeah, I'm about to pass out.
I'm pissed
because we didn't get nothing.
>> well, he finished smoking it
already.
>> all that trouble,
and we didn't get nothing.
>> today we're officially
inducting our new sheriff,
Newell Normand.
Harry Lee, unfortunately,
died during his term,
and so Newell had to assume
his position.
We all get to officially
welcome him
as our new sheriff.
And it's a good day.
Just fix everything perfect
here.
>> thank you.
Beautiful.
>> that's my boss, the man,
right there.
>> and I was at Indianapolis
last night, received an award...
>> wow.
>> that was given to the Sheriff
posthumously.
Uh, standing ovation,
over 1,000 people.
It was phenomenal.
>> good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Colonel John Fortunato,
and I'd like to welcome you
this morning
to the inauguration ceremony
of Sheriff Mewell Normand.
>> Harry Lee was very fond
of Newell Normand
and knew that by virtue
of his personality
and his character that he would
be the perfect guy to take over.
>> so help me God.
>> so help me God.
>> congratulations.
>> and you know, this was
a great moment for all of us,
to see that Newell respects
Harry as much as he does
and loves and respects
the position in law enforcement.
>> I have never been more proud
than I am today.
Nine months ago,
I lost a friend and a mentor
and a father figure.
I know that he's looking down
today.
And there is a sense of pride
in not only me,
but in each
and every one of you.
Thank you so much
for being here today
and sharing this experience
with me.
>> me and my team
and our new sheriff,
I think we'll be able
to carry on the flame
that Harry Kee
has always carried
and make Harry proud of us.
