That's going to be a good stop for reasonable suspicion until we can get a solid photo.
00:15
Yeah, copy.
00:16
I'm trying to catch back out to him.
00:18
He's moving pretty quick to the park.
00:19
If there's anyone that's on front street, he's heading that way.
00:22
Genevye, it's going to be a minute for a photo.
00:24
The clerk here would have to call the owner and he doesn't have access to the cameras, so.
00:27

01:03
Okay, copy. 590 career now into 147. I'm 12-0-0[1]. Okay. 576-295. Can you just ask the clerk while you're still checking on the video if there's any chance he could have been wearing shorts instead of a jean? No, he's confident that it was a dirty blue jeans.
01:31
and the gun was in the front waistband, like appendix series. Copy that. And approximate A's one more time. 30s is what I'm getting. And Hispanic mail. Got it. 510 to 5776.
02:00
He walked in the store first without a shirt on, was pulled the weave, came back with the sweatshirt, and his pants were wet when he left, so it's possible he could be doing some clothing swaps. I copy. The gentleman we're out with over here at Marion Square Park has a black and yellow t-shirt. He's got Nike hoops on the back in yellow riding, and then he's wearing black.
02:27
basketball shorts now, but he was in a group with a bunch of other males. You can send me a picture of the design on the shirt. He's describing a bright yellow arch-looking design on the upper back. I'm getting more information from the clerk because they talked to him. So he had what he believed were...
02:54
sweatpants on underneath. I'm working on getting further. So, yeah, hold on to that guy. Okay, copy that in 510. I'm sending you the photo of the t-shirt right now. Yeah, well, so then I'm going to be out with a female at the corner of the night. Sorry, 21 and ferry. She's currently talking to her brother. Copy, 21 and Perry.
03:21
0146, she's heavily intoxicated. Okay. 510-576, clerks confirming that that is definitely... 119-510-U-Ped-O[2]. The clerk is saying that is definitely...
03:49
a positive on this shirt. We're still waiting for the clerk for footage. All right, so if I copy, I just heard so we saw him as he was rounding the corner on High Street on the Union right around Marcos and he was wearing the shorts at the time. So if he had pants on or other items, he might have ditched him between the park and there. Copy.
04:16
If I can get another unit here, I'm happy to do a track and see if we can pick anything up. 168, I could take your spot on close to our truck.
