JD LeMatthieu—This is Officer Krieger of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department.
We have Scott’s phone.
And within moments we will have your location.
Young man, I am warning you very seriously: Do not try to run, and do not try to hide.
Everything will be better for you and your friend Scott if you two come and turn yourselves, and we can try to make sure this stays out of court.
come and find us piggy
Mr. LeMatthieu, that is not the way that a soon-to-be-wanted criminal should be speaking to an officer of the law.
