I'm going this way. She goes that way. I go this way. Man, 45 seconds later, I hear it. I turn around. This dude drawing down on me. Show me your hands. I'm like, okay. He comes over and he handcuffed me. He's like, where's she at? I'm like, who? He's like, the lady you were arguing with. I'm like, it's my wife. She walked that way. I'm walking this way.

We're trying to figure out who gets to the house first. Puts me in the back of a cop car. The rest of the cops show up, they know who I am. They asked the dude what happened. They went and found my wife. She was like, nothing happened. They come back to him and they're like, why did you put him in handcuffs? He's a cop in Fayetteville. He didn't do nothing wrong.

Now he's in the back of a cop car in handcuffs. Takes me out, they all apologize. They even take me to the house. And I got a call Monday morning, you're not hired. So I tried to leave and I failed. So now I'm thinking, man, they all knew I was leaving. I told them I'd gotten the job that Thursday and I was gonna prepare to leave. I was like, oh my God, dude, how?

If they find out about it, I'm going to get disciplinary action and probably taken off the gang unit. How do I tell them I'm not going to this department anymore? I came up with a lie. I said, hey, the guy that was leaving to go to Highway Patrol didn't get the job in the Highway Patrol, so he went back to the job, and they're not filling it.

They did offer me a reserve job for now, but I told them that if I can't get a full-time job, I can't commit to that. And that bought me about a month until this incident occurred that I just explained with fighting for the gun. And then once that happened, I had an emotional breakdown. I was like, I can't leave this place. I'm stuck here.

Because the fact of the matter is, if I would have died on that Friday, they would have had a nice memorial service, people would have grieved, they would have put these beautiful flowers and wreaths on my car, had a memorial service Saturday, funeral on Monday, and before the flowers died on my vehicle Monday morning, they would be swiped off and it would be reissued out, my desk would be cleared, and I would be some stupid picture on a wall.
