Full Episode
One night, this guy Ryan, he's out walking three dogs. Now he's a dog walker, so he's walking them for a climb. And then suddenly, boom, a car pulls up and two men jump out. And one of them punches Ryan in the face and another tries to choke him, because they're trying to steal the dogs. But Ryan, he doesn't want to let the dogs go, so he fights back. And then one of the men pulls out a pew-pew
And then bang, he shoots Ryan in the chest. And Ryan falls to the ground while the men grab two of the dogs. And they jump in their car where a third man is driving. And the three of them speed away. And they leave Ryan for dead, bleeding out on the sidewalk. And he's still clutching the third dog while he gasps for life. Now one of the robbers is this guy, Jalen.
And Jalen and his friends had got this plan to drive around Los Angeles looking for French bulldogs to steal so that they can sell them for thousands of dollars. This is why they attacked Ryan.
But the next day after they had stolen the dogs, Jalen comes across a social media post and it shows a picture of the two Frenchies he took and it says they're missing and that there's a reward to anyone who finds them and returns them. But here's what else the post says. The dogs Jalen took actually belong to Lady Gaga. Not only that, the reward she's offering, half a million dollars.
So Jalen's like, holy jackpot. I got to get this reward money. Now, he can't return the dogs himself and collect the money. No, that would be too suspicious. So he goes and gets his dad involved. Now, his dad is also kind of a turd, and his name, and I'm not making this up, Lil Porky. Now, unfortunately, Lil Porky has a previous criminal record, so he can't return the dogs either.
So they go and get someone who won't look suspicious. Lil Porky's girlfriend, this woman, McBride. So McBride plans to pretend that she found these dogs abandoned on the side of the road, and she's going to return them and collect all that reward money. So then two days later, after the dog napping, one of them drops the dogs off at a random location and they tie them to a street pole.
Moments later, McBride just happens to be nearby and finds the dogs. Oh, what a coinkydink. She then gets the dogs and takes them to the police station and starts asking about that Lady Gaga reward money. And now police, they immediately get suspicious and they check the surveillance footage of the area where McBride said she found the dogs.
And on the footage, they see a car pull up and someone gets out and ties the dogs to a pole. So police, they run the plate on this car and they find that the car is connected to a man named Harold White, AKA Lil Porky. So police, they look up Lil Porky's Instagram and his Facebook page and they see that he's in a relationship with McBride, the very woman who found the dogs.
Now police already have a few suspects who they feel might have been involved in the dog napping. One of those suspects being Jalen. And of course they investigate and see Lil Porky is Jalen's father. So they arrest all of them. McBride, Lil Porky, Jalen.
