He was standing in the underneath of the building where the elevators were. and as I started getting closer and closer to him, he kind of just started sizing me up, and I guess figured that I was probably a cop. And he turned to take off running, told him to stop. He never stopped, so I had to wrestle him to the ground.

I handcuffed him, stood him up, walked him over to the front of my vehicle, and waited for my supervisor to get here.

I actually utilized my canine partner to do an open-air search on his plane that was parked at the airport.

The dog did alert to the presence of narcotics in that aircraft. A search warrant was executed. Drug paraphernalia and drug residue was found on the plane. It was, in my opinion, personal use.

So, but he says you guys targeted him, right? He says, well, they were running after us. They were surveilling us. They were, you know.

And so your nickname is Buffy? I guess it's because you're 6'6".

Yeah, well, 6'8", but yeah, same thing. If they use that terminology, just, I guess, because maybe I make them uncomfortable because I'm a big guy. But that's why I take it as a grain of salt. I don't ever think of it as derogatory. It's just terms of endearment.

They had a beach house, but it was on the water. They had a lot of open house parties there. We did a lot of... surveillance work on it and, you know, trying to get a handle on what exactly was going on there. Because we just, you know, again, like kind of like everybody else had heard rumors and we're trying to substantiate stuff to see if there was a reason to move forward or not.
