Thomas Lane

He goes, he was holding a bill and he goes, they gave me this. It's a big 20. He pointed across the street and they're like, he's in the car over there. You know, go get him before he drives off. So I said, you know, and he started walking out. I was like, you know, just head back in. We'll take care of it.

They all started kind of digging underneath the seat. It looked like they were reaching for something. And I said that to King. I said, they're moving around quite a bit as I was coming across the street. I walked up to the driver's side of the vehicle, I knocked on the glass, and the driver was sitting with his hand down below the seat, kind of leaning forward like this.

And I said, let me see your other hand. And I directed him, let me see your other hand. He didn't do that. And he was just, you know, oh, it's no big deal or whatever. And he kept his hand on there. And he just glanced back, so I took my gun out and I said, let me see your other fucking hand. Put your hand up. Gave commands to do that. I'm not sure how many, I think they gave a few.

And I don't know why, but he quickly went like this, like pulled his hand out real fast. And I kind of like took a step back and was like, Jesus, what are you doing?

I think that I had mentioned that, you know, this could be possibly excited delirium or something.

That was the other thing for stepping it up, because he might be in medical distress.

Yeah, I felt maybe that something was going on.

They, no one, yeah, they said just, this is fine.

Chauvin said, this is, we're just going to hold him here until the MS arrives. So... And I suggested, you know... In the video of the Floyd arrest, you can hear Lane make his case to Chauvin. He says, you want him on his side? Meaning, should we roll him over so he can breathe? Move on the side. I just worry about the delirium or whatever.

I was basically going off Officer Chauvin's experiencing what he was saying, like, this is, we're going to hold here until the end, that's right.

I had, uh, you want me to get into that? Okay, so, um, he was one of the other training officers in the precinct that I worked in. Um, so I had interaction with Chauvin before

I believe in the call notes it said that the suspect was still on scene in a Mercedes. We drove to the call. We didn't activate our lights and sirens just because I believe we were relatively close and We got there and entered the building, entered Cup Boots of Business. There's a staff member there that said, you know, they're still here.
