So I throw my car in park. I'm like, all right, he's not jumping out. Nothing's going on. Took a deep breath, and I was like, treat it like a regular traffic stop. Don't act like it just almost turned into something. So I go up to the car, rolls his window down. Man, I see the bag. His car already is just thumping. He's sweating profusely. Can't even talk, he's breathing so hard.

I'm like, hey, sir, I'm from Texaco, the Fayetteville Police Department. The reason why I pulled you over is we have a new chief. You have a really dark window tint, man. Window tint's the flavor of the month. I need your ales. I'm gonna scratch off a warning ticket. I'm hungry. I'm gonna go to Chipotle, okay? We're gonna make this quick. So I'm like, all right, cool.

Where's everybody at, you know? I didn't get enough time to put it on the radio yet. because we kept playing the games, and I was trying to get it out, but I couldn't, because we stopped too soon. So I get back in my car, I put it out, and a K-9 officer shows up. And I was hoping for one of the gang guys, but the K-9 came up, which was great, because he's backing me up.

Look up his history, man, it's just gun charges. He's gone away for a while. I didn't see a gun. When I went back and watched my body camera, you can see it clear as day. Sitting right here, I just got focused on the bag, the dope. My attention went straight to the dope. I smell it, I know I'm gonna search the car, and I know what I need to find is in that bag. So I'm watching the bag.

Don't even see a gun, don't even see the Glock. Now, it's a black gun with black center dash, right? We go up to the car, I'm like, hey man, I'm gonna pull him out. He's like, all right. I'm like, hey, Mr. Hill, I need you to step out of the vehicle. Before I walked back, I'd actually had him take his keys out and put them on the dash.

Something I always did if I knew that I was gonna search the car. So because of this reason, when I walked back up and asked him to step out of the vehicle, he said no. Opened the door, he grabs the door, he shuts the door. Now he's trying to throw it and drive. but he doesn't know that his keys are on the dash. We had to turn the car off and I made him put the keys on the dash.

His OODA loop, now his mind went to, I gotta get out of here. So I open up the door again, I dive in to get him. He reaches down, he goes to pull out a Glock. Glock hits the steering wheel, I grab a hold of the Glock. If you look right here on my hand, I have two scars. You see them? That's from his front sight post, trying to rip it out of my hand. Man, I'm hitting him with elbows.
