Off The Hook
Off The Hook
Meth House Raid in the Hills of West Virginia
What happens when a cable guy, a misplaced phone, and a Joe Biden look-alike cross paths in the hills of West Virginia? Tune in to this electrifying episode of Off the Hook Podcast, where Sal and Rob navigate a whirlwind bond recovery mission that will leave you on the edge of your seat. From the bustling streets of Cleveland to the rugged backroads of Beckley, West Virginia, our adventure is filled with unexpected twists, unforgettable characters, and a lot of laughs along the way.
Sal, who traded Cleveland city life as a police officer, for a tranquil farm in North Carolina, brings his unique insights as we reminisce about his family's hilarious escapades with their farm animals. Our journey kicks off with a wild karaoke night in Wilmington and quickly escalates into a high-stakes chase through the hills of West Virginia. Social media sleuthing, a misplaced phone, and a PO box in McDowell County set the stage for a series of encounters that are as unpredictable as they are entertaining.
The climax of our adventure unfolds with an adrenaline-charged raid on a house suspected of harboring meth users. Experience the pulse-pounding moments of entering the suspect's home, the shocking revelations that follow, and the chaotic aftermath as we transport a jittery, meth-affected individual. This episode is packed with suspense, humor, and the thrill of reconnecting with old friends while navigating the wild world of bail bond recovery.

So we go up there and we figure out like this, this girl's living with this in this, with this guy in a hotel, so my buddy with her kids, with her kids, and my buddy's a deputy up there. So when I showed, I showed him the picture that her kid put on instagram, and I'm and he's like, oh, that's the Red Roof Inn, that's right, that's the Red Roof Inn, it's right on Lorraine Boulevard. Shout out to my buddy by the way, ryan McClellan, he's a deputy up there. Thank you, sir, good man. So he tells me where to go. He's like this is where you want to look, so we go. Okay, so I go up there.
Speaker 3:You've been watching it and I saw the boyfriend come out and then I saw her come out and I'm like that's it, there she is. So we knew you know what I mean we just didn't know what, we just didn't know what room. Then you got up there, so that was the next day. And then when you got up there we walk in, remember, and the guy's like hey man, which room is it that they're in? He's like like whatever number, it was like 105 or whatever it was first floor first floor the manager was cool with us.
Speaker 2:We kind of we were leery at first, but they, but they were they were about it.
Speaker 3:They were like get them out of here like they're trouble, so get them out of here. So we're like okay, look, just go into the door, tell me there's a problem with, like, the pipes or something like you got to check the pipes, yeah, yeah and I get behind you, right.
Speaker 2:So sal's in front of me and the dude's knocking on the door and I'm behind sal. And we had it already planned as soon as that door cracked open, the manager was going to step out of the way. Sal was going to bum, rush to shit at that door. Let me tell you when that happened. I thought Sal took the whole fucking door out.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, it was a good hit. He opened the door and I was like boom, hit the door, this fucking thing, this guy. So we're not even looking for the guy. Hit the door, this fucking thing, this guy. So we're not even looking for the guy. I don't know who this guy is. He like tries to run across the like the room, hits the wall like a like a like. He like splats into the window.
Speaker 3:He's like wow, it's like it's like a wild coyote he sees like a little cloud of dust and you just see him running. He splats against the wall and falls on the ground. He's got his hands over his head I got him on the floor.
Speaker 2:I'm like who the fuck are you like?
Speaker 3:what's your problem, man, are you all right? Like what's going on? He's like, and the girl's sitting on the bed, she's looking at him, then she looks at us and we're like you, like he's still laying on the ground. So we're like, and we thought that was weird as hell going.
Speaker 2:Why would he try to run through the fucking window?
Speaker 3:right. We're like this is what this guy's fucked, like what's going on with this guy? Because he literally was like getting ready to get arrested and we're like we don't know who you are, like we have nothing to do with you, bro. And he's like, oh well, okay, cool, take her. So we grab her. And we're like let's get out of here so we get his information, because he's there. We're like, hey, I just leave my kids with him. He's cool, that's my baby daddy. So we're like, okay, cool, you know what I mean? Cause the cops don't you know, you know in Ohio and Cleveland they don't help, like they do not get involved. So we're like that's cool, we'll take the, we'll take you, the kids are fine, everybody's safe. She's like, yeah, that's where we meet the bondsman. Right, we start driving south and we're meeting with the bondsman in beckley and we're the whole way we're driving. We're like this is fucked up, like something's wrong, like yeah, something's weird the story's not making sense anymore.
Speaker 3:The more she talks, the less it makes sense. So I call my boy back and I'm like hey, man, check this dude out. Like there's a guy over there, like I don't know what's going on. I call him and I give him the information. He's like dude, he's got felony warrants everywhere.
Speaker 2:Out of North Carolina.
Speaker 3:Out of North Carolina.
Speaker 2:Out of North Carolina for robbery or some shit.
Speaker 3:He just wasn't out on a bond. He had probation violation or parole violation warrants.
Speaker 2:He was in NCIC. That's how they could tell which is the National Crime Index that we've talked about previous on the show, and they looked him up, run his information through it and then find it and yeah, they found him.
Speaker 3:So they go up and they arrest him and then remember the kids ended up in foster care. They went back to the family, like the family actually lived down here in North Carolina. So they took the kids and brought them back to North Carolina, took him. So basically we busted up the whole room Like everybody ended up back in north carolina, but thank god because those kids didn't even know who that guy was apparently.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so now we're in west virginia now we're in west virginia and we and I know my, my guy is up in west virginia because chad has been looking online and and after talking to mom to mom, we kind of put two and two together, so we got two good sources telling us she's got pictures.
Speaker 3:Remember chad was feeding us pictures of her outside of this like house so chad's, chad's, in the background working this thing, like he's sending this information left and right it's definitely a team effort, like everybody's got to have their part and everybody's got to move together, and like Chad was doing all like the groundwork, like online, so he's feeding us pictures while we're up there, because we ain't got service for fucking shit up there.
Speaker 3:No, you couldn't even make a phone call, like I'm trying to call my wife and I'm like I can't, like I can only talk to you like hold up, I got to drive like 15 miles to go talk to you.

I've flown from from wilmington to cleveland and then arrested the girl and then drive back down to beckley and go over to Mullins, which is 45 minutes, and then back to the hotel within 15, 16 hours. Yeah, I mean it's a long.
Speaker 3:it was a lot of. It was a long day. It was a long day. I mean we were just on the road constantly. So we get this hotel, we chill out.

Speaker 2:Yeah, and the Hatfield-McCoy trails are going through this town.
Speaker 3:Right, right, like you're in the middle of nowhere, like middle of middle of nowhere, but this lady, but like it's small town West Virginia. So anybody that comes out of nowhere, everybody knows who it is. And everybody drives side-by-sides, yep side-by-sides, and four-wheelers everywhere.
Speaker 2:So it literally we were there for how how many hours were like kind of talking to everybody in the town. I mean it was, it was ours.
Speaker 3:It was a day, it was a whole day it was almost a full day. I have talking to people, but different people, but we were we never like. So, like the way we work is, we try to stay low key as possible. So we look like this, so that, like we blend, you wouldn't know who we are well, we wouldn't have blamed because we had our fucking teeth you're right, there's another stat, then there's that, like so west virginia.
Speaker 3:Man, you gotta love it. So like we walk in and like people are talking to us and they don't know who we are, like they think we're, they don't know what we're doing. We remember we had the one drug dealer we talked to. We made him think the guy owes a drug debt.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the old man in the little Ford Ranger.
Speaker 3:The little white car. He had a little white car Remember.
Speaker 2:They're like that guy deals to everybody, we're like yo, man this dude owes me money. Where's he at? And he's like yo, that that drug dealer guy. They're like yeah, he does it all the time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they didn't care, they're just like yeah, he deals like dope and like oxys. Don't worry about him, but like he'll know your guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So then we roll up on him and we're like how do we approach this guy? Do we approach him? We're drug dealers. We're like drug dealers.
Speaker 2:So we walk up, we're like hey, yo man, hey man, I'm scratching my dick.
Speaker 3:We're like yo man, this dude owes us some money. Like you know what I'm saying. Tell me where he's at, like let me deal with my shit, and he'd be like I'll throw you some money if you do.
Speaker 2:And he's like man the dude he stays Like the mountains are big, so we got an idea of the mountain area that everybody's pointing to, yeah, and finally we found the address.
Speaker 3:We found the address for the guy because the cops told us they were like we've arrested him before. The last address for the arrest was here and they gave it to us. So it's like up the hill. So we go up the hill, we don't see the Raptor. But the neighbor guy was like they're a pain in the ass, He'll be back, Trust me, oh yeah. So we told the cops are like well confirmed, Like yeah, those guys are staying with him.
Speaker 2:So there, I'm going to pause it for a second. We're getting this information Now. We don't have cell phone service in this town. No, you have to drive 20 minutes up the mountain to the top of the mountain in order to get service, and it's getting late. And we got to check in with you know, wives, girlfriend, check on kids, make sure everything's going good.
Speaker 3:Calling Chad, you know cause he's feeding us information too and he's going what's going on. So he wants updates and we're trying to give him but, like, literally, there's nowhere you can stop and call somebody now. You literally got to drive 20 minutes up a hill to get any service it's like we're in, I mean, like it is the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just like the music that was playing earlier just like that music.
Speaker 3:And that guy was there, I'm telling you so. So we go, wait, hold up. So I'm thinking now, so now, so the guy the shithead tells us he's like the neighbor, tells us the shithead, so they got a big meth thing going on.
Speaker 2:So we go to the house, though we found the address and we go there first before Right, but nobody was there. Nobody was there, but they were inside at the time.
Speaker 3:They were, but they didn't see us because they're all smoked, yeah. But like, in the meantime, chad's sending us pictures and we're looking at the pictures. We're like that's that building, that's that car, yeah, that's that house. Like, like, that's that tree, I think that squirrel looks right. Like we're like everything matches the pictures that he's given us. So we're like we're here, like this is it? But it's a third party address. We can't just bust the door. So we're like we got to see him. There's nowhere to sit and we've got.
Speaker 2:We've got a license plate. Now we've got the making model of the vehicle. We've got everything we need now and so we report back to.
Speaker 3:We go back up to the top of the mountain, call the cops and we're like this is what they're driving, this is where they're going to be, yes, and the cops are like, cool, we'll pull them over for you so we're waiting and uh wait, I know we don't have no service and all of a sudden we get service and you get a voicemail.
Speaker 3:I got a voicemail from the cop and they're like hey, we have him pulled over right now and like, because they, because I think he was like a suspended license or whatever, so they had a reason to stop him. So they're like, yeah, we got him stopped, Like we're right here. So we like drive really fast to one spot where I got service, call them back. They're like yeah, we're holding them for you, like we're talking to them, but we can only hold them as long as we can write the ticket.
Speaker 2:So I'm telling you that dodge ramble's getting it, buddy.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we were fishtailing all over the mountain. You know what I mean, so I'm hanging on for dear life.
Speaker 2:I'm going okay, if we roll this, at least we roll it down the mountain to where they're at right, it's like, it's a like, it's a win-win, like we just got to get there.
Speaker 3:So, as we're pulling down, the cops are letting them, literally in the process of letting them leave, and they're starting to pull off and we're just like nope, not.
Speaker 2:We straight up to pop their ass.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we did, because we look just like this, like you can't tell who we are, so we like literally, jack them. We're like get out of the car, dude. He's like, oh, ok, ok, what's going on?
Speaker 2:And we're like come here, we want to talk to you, so we start talking to him. He don't know who we are. You take him off to the side and I take the girl off to the side and we're talking and the cops are watching us and we're talking, and so we wave the cops over.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because the guy said there's a gun in the car, there's dope in the car. So we told them we're like hey, listen man, they're telling us there's guns and dope in this car and the cops are like is that true? There are guns and dope in this car.
Speaker 2:And the guy's like, yeah, I remember looking in the console and finding a nice pistol. It was like a .45. It was like a 1911. So I hand that to you. And then the cops, we're talking to her, we're talking to the girl after that, and we're talking to her. We're talking to the girl after that and we're like hey, where's that, where's that? And she's like I'm not talking, I'm not talking. Now I remember looking at the lady police officer there. She was like new. And so we're looking at her and I'm like search that bag. And and they're like well, we gotta have consent. I'm like we're looking at her and going you better give consent. And she goes, yes, finally does, finally does.
Speaker 3:And she tells him she's like yeah, there's dope in the bag, yeah, and they just, and they just pull the bag apart and there's like bindles of heroin, more and more and more and more. They just keep pulling it out and where she's like she's gone, so like she's like they take her away. And then the guy's're like listen, if you let them come with us, it takes care of our problem.
Speaker 2:Like just let them work with us I mean you're gonna get this guy again. Anyway, he's going, he's going he lives right there.
Speaker 3:So we're like come on, man, like if you just give us a little play here, we can get rid of our guy, we can do our thing, and then you can, you can charge them later. They're like, that's fine. So they're like so rob jumps in his truck.
Speaker 2:I'm scared to fly. I'm like god damn this motherfucker.
Speaker 3:I hope he don't fucking right right off the mountain we clear out all the guns and like so he's riding with the bad guy or with that guy. I'm riding behind and we got radio so we're talking to each other because there's no cells. So we're just like talking on portable radios and we're like take us to the house and let us in. If he's in the house, let us know, and he's like, yeah, he's there, the guy.
Speaker 2:Get the guy hands me the key. He was cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was cool about it.
Speaker 2:He hands me the key to his house. I said you stay in the truck and when I get out Sal's already going to be. He's parked around the corner. He's already going to be halfway through the yard by the time I get out of the truck.
Speaker 3:So that way, if they saw us coming in the house, there's nowhere to go. There's nowhere to go and he's just going to open the door for us anyway. So the only thing they're going to see is him coming in in his truck.
Speaker 2:They don't know so I unlock the door, open it up and all the lights are cut off. I start flipping lights on because you know, you can't see shit.
Speaker 3:You can't see shit.
