Off The Hook
We are a group of private investigators, bounty hunters / fugitive recovery agents, and bail bondsmen that have been in this line of work for over twenty five years and have many stories to tell. We have traveled all over the country catching fugitives and bringing them back to have their day in court. With our years of experience we are trying to educate the public about bail and why it is a needed part of our judicial system.
Off The Hook
Holiday Tunes and a Las Vegas Trailer Park Hunt
Ever wondered if "Die Hard" truly belongs in the Christmas movie hall of fame? Join us, Chad and Rob, as we kick off our holiday special with a spirited debate over festive film favorites like "Gremlins" and "Die Hard." We also unwrap our top holiday tunes, celebrating everything from George Michael's timeless "Last Christmas" to the laid-back vibes of Kenny Chesney's "Christmas in Blue Chair Bay." Amidst the laughter and debates, we share warm holiday wishes with our listeners, reminding everyone to cherish this magical time with family and friends.
Take a nostalgic turn with us as we reminisce about Bill, whose legendary eggnog is still the stuff of holiday dreams, and his retirement adventures in an RV. This heartwarming tale sets the stage for our thrilling Las Vegas escapade. We recount the adrenaline-fueled mission of cleaning up bonds for a retiring bondsman, teaming up with a Nevada bounty hunter for a high-stakes chase involving the notorious "One-Eyed Willie." Our journey from North Carolina to Las Vegas is sprinkled with pop culture nods to classics like "Die Hard" and "The Goonies," adding an extra layer of excitement to our narrative.
Experience the pulse-pounding conclusion as we navigate a gated trailer park in search of a woman with an outstanding warrant. With minimal clues and a blend of intuition and strategy, we detail the intricate process of tracking her down. From coordinating with local bondsmen to deploying drones and specialized equipment, the operation is as tense as it is fascinating. We peel back the layers of this gripping stakeout, mixing humor and introspection as we recount the emotional and practical challenges. It's a rollercoaster of tension and triumph that captures the true essence of bounty hunting adventure during the holiday season.

Speaker 3:Bill Paraguay. He was an attorney here in Wilmington and man, if you had a problem, he was the man to solve it. That was the guy. I'm right. Yeah, he's retired now, but man, he was good. I am right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's retired now, but man, he was good. This hat's getting hot. I don't like to say he's hot.
Speaker 3:It's kind of warm here, very foggy today, but we've got kind of a little warm front coming through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hope it stays so. All right, now we're going to change it up a little bit.
Speaker 3:Oh our format.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're going to change the format just a little bit on the music as the introduction of the story. Right, because I'm with the holiday.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm telling a story about going to Las Vegas. Uh, this was a cleanup for a bondsman out of Duplin County.
Speaker 3:This is one you did without me.
Speaker 2:Right yeah.
Speaker 3:Who did you go? Did you go by yourself?
Speaker 2:I went by myself, but I had a guy in Nevada waiting on me oh, you were working with another bondsman out there. Yeah, he's a bounty hunter up in Reno actually. So this was a cleanup we had to do because a bondsman was going out of business. So when I say cleanup, bondsman's going out of business, he said to hell with all the forfeitures.
Speaker 3:And they continue to roll in after a person says I'm no longer in the business. Some of these cases we have go up to three years past the time you write the bond, and it could go longer. So I mean you're stuck on it and you've got to clean it up. Like my diet, oh Jesus, yeah, you started the carnivore diet. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2:I did start the carnivore diet.
Speaker 3:Welcome to it. You feel better.
Speaker 2:I'm starting to feel a little bit better.
Speaker 3:You have to actually stick with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, the first week and a half about middle way there a few days I was getting nauseated, I was getting little dizzy spells, but it's because I need electrolytes and your body's getting used to like processing the food differently. I don't have any more gut problems. That's one thing.
Speaker 3:I really enjoy about it If you stick with it hard. I mean, I've kind of veered a little bit for the holidays here and there, you know have you a cookie or two, I mean. I mean it's going to happen, I guess. I mean I've been good for quite a while but I've put on a little bit since then, but it's easy, but it works.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so me and my girlfriend are doing it. Yeah, and last night, after I talked to you, I had to cook. No, it was before you called. I was cooking a ton of chicken, a ton of bacon, everything I could fit on my blackstone. Yeah, and man, like you said last night, man, everything's greasy man. We were constantly cleaning the house.
Speaker 3:yeah, you go back to that blackstone after everything's cooled off and, like the grease hardened, solidifies a little bit on there. You know You're constantly scraping stuff off man.
Speaker 2:But it's been doing good so far. I'm starting to feel a lot better. Actually, my face has gotten a little bit like the bloat's gone, the swelling is gone, so I'm starting to feel it.
Speaker 3:Stay with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not as hungry, yeah, not as hungry. So, going back to Las Vegas, to our story, so the introduction of the story, like I said, jav, we're going to change it up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, here you go. I hope you like the intro music to the story. Here we go. It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens, mom's cooking chicken in collard, greens, rice and stuffing macaroni. Gotta love it, man. Gotta love it, man. This is awesome.
Speaker 3:Now, that was in Die Hard, yeah, remember when the guy was. Yeah, what do you call that guy Gargoyle? Oh yeah, and the guy was the chauffeur in the car for Bruce Willis when he took him to Nakatomi Plaza to the Christmas party Hell no. And he's sitting in the back and he's listening to this song.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I do remember that All that's going on you remember. Yeah, yeah, I do remember.
Speaker 3:That was the song that he was listening to man.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you what man. This fucking hat Itchy. So alright, I don't know what I'm going to call this girl, but she was nasty. I'll call her One-Eyed Willie. She had one eye that didn't work.
Speaker 3:Oh, did she. Oh, okay, well, there you go.
Speaker 2:She couldn't see me kill it from one side.
Speaker 3:A Goonie reference yeah.
Speaker 2:We're going back and talking about all the movies today. So, one-eyed Willie, it was $100,000 bond.
Speaker 3:Sweet. Yeah, glad it wasn't, us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thank God. And it was out of Duplin County and she was known for trafficking drugs and human trafficking. Oh, nice human, nice human being, right, right. So we're doing our research here and it don't take me long to find something out of the norm to pinpoint me to Las Vegas. We knew everybody had scoured the area here in North Carolina for she was totally gone and somebody said that she took off and went to Las Vegas Somebody credible I told the bondsman. So he tells me this and I start looking and I go and I see where she registered an address, brand new address. It just popped up Bingo. I said, damn, I called the bondsman. I'm like, look, she's in Vegas, I need to go now. Because I mean, damn, I would call the bondsman. I'm like, look, she's in Vegas. I need to go now Because I mean, once you know somebody somewhere, you want to get there as fast as you can because you don't want to lose it.
Speaker 3:Things change quick, right? So this wasn't in Las Vegas. It was in Las Vegas Was it. Yeah, okay, I thought it was somewhere like Henderson or somewhere outside.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, it was in Las Vegas and it was really close to the Strip. Oh, okay, and it was. So I'll tell you about how we got there to it. So the bondsman kind of hesitated for a week. I'm like, look, dude, if you keep waiting, you're going to lose this and you're going to pay $100,000. I know I need to get out there. He said, okay, book it. So they, you know, we booked the flight. I get a hotel. I think I stay at the Luxor because I had some points or something. I got a freaking idea.
Speaker 3:Luxor's cheap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's cheap. So we're, I get on a plane, get out there. And I call my buddy. That's a bondsman up in Reno and I let him know I was coming too. So he's like hey, man, I'll be free, just call me once you find her. I'm like cool. So and it's only a week left before this thing is paid.
Speaker 3:No stress, no stress right.
Speaker 2:The bondsman just waits and then sends me out there. Yeah, so, all right, so I'll call my buddy. We're out there. Well, it's me out there. I get a rental car and I'll start hitting the ground running, because I only got a couple days and I know that the the time frame flying back with her is going to be messed up. We'll probably have to take a red eye or something, I don't know, but I want to be able to get some type of sleep. Well, I didn't. The whole time there I didn't sleep. I took a little power nap, right. So I get out there and I had three addresses that she was known to be at, but the one main one I didn't go to first because it was a nice gated community. It was a nice area. Too good to be true, right. I was like, yeah, too good to be true, right. I said I'll keep an eye on this. So I plant a camera. I got cameras with me, I plant a camera at that house.
Speaker 3:That reminds me. I gotta show you this camera I found, man, it's like it's like smaller than that and it sticks to things and it's wi-fi.
Speaker 2:Oh anyway, sorry yeah, look at that one, the latest.
Speaker 3:You know, we always gotta stay up on the latest technology, things like that.
Speaker 2:So I put a camera out there. I go to the other address. Right, I'm sitting watching that address while I got my iPad set up watching the other house. So I'm watching two houses at once. I'm trying to make the best of my time. I'm looking at people coming at us that the house I'm actually looking at. I'm running tags and I'm trying to associate my target with these people and nothing's coming up at all and I'm like, man, I don't think this is a good address. So I go back, get my camera from the other place because I don't see no activity. I just see a woman coming in and out. Well, I know who that woman is because she is related to my girl. So I'm like, all right. So I'm going to go get my camera, I'm going to sit it in the place I was sitting at and then go to the third address. So I did that and we get to the third address and it's a gated trailer park.
Speaker 1:Like what the hell is this?
Speaker 2:It's a gated trailer park. I don't understand it. So I had my drone with me, I fly it over and I take a look at this trailer that she's supposed to be at and there's a bunch of people coming in and out that look the part.
Speaker 3:Gated trailer. I'm still laughing about this.
Speaker 1:It's like putting rims on a Prius. What's up?
Speaker 2:Anyway, all right what's up, all right, so, and the whole time I'm I'm talking to myself. If you, if you were in the car with me, you probably think I was crazy, because I was like god. I got nobody to talk to, because usually when me and you were out, I got somebody to bounce ideas off of. And the whole time I'm sitting I'm like all right, chad, what would you do? And I'm trying to talk to myself in the car. I'm like God, so I leave the gated trailer park.
Speaker 3:I can't get over that. Do you know how many rednecks here would just think that they were so much better than everybody if they had that ear?
Speaker 2:Oh God.
Speaker 3:I live in Happy Hills Trailer Park. It's gated.
Speaker 2:God, you got me going, sorry. So all right. So it's four o'clock in the morning, man, and nobody's out. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna go give me a couple hours sleep. So I go back, give me a couple hours sleep, I get up and I start I'm doing the same thing, that because I land that day, as soon as I land that day, I start working. I need to get me some sleep. So I get me a couple hours sleep and then I leave the hotel again and I go back and start looking at these addresses again.
Speaker 2:Right, trying to put so I finally decide the second address is no good, no more. I have kind of figured out now that she had a friend that lived there and her friend doesn't live there anymore. So I just X number two out. I said okay, so it's between three and one. Well, the number one address in the nice neighborhood it's just this one older lady coming in and out. I'm like she's not there. There's nobody coming in and out. I'm like she's not there, like there's nobody coming in out of this house.
Speaker 3:My target's not coming here approximately how old was your uh, your target?
Speaker 2:uh, 30, mid 30s, early 30s, somewhere around there. Okay, yeah, she was boyfriend girlfriend no, uh, she had a girlfriend. I thought that was this one yeah, yeah, she had a girlfriend, but but oh, she had a girlfriend out there for sure, and so I went in to Describe this girl. Oh God, she was about five foot five. I don't know what you would call her pronouns, it was.
Speaker 3:Would this be a pronoun person?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:Okay, would this person dress a certain way? Yes, like a dude when person dress a certain way.
Speaker 2:Yes, like a dude when they're really a girl, but have one like really messed up eye. It was like it was wandering off.
Speaker 3:So that's the, that's the factor that you look for in this person.
Speaker 2:Cause you don't you never seen them?
Speaker 3:No, I've never gone off a couple of photos I take it.
Speaker 2:I got a couple of photos.
Speaker 3:Did you get some social media photos?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got a little bit of social media photos from the girlfriend, but the girlfriend is here in North Carolina now, right? So when I talked to the girlfriend that's who I remember Now the girlfriend told me the ex-girlfriend told me that she had fucked over her aunt or some family member that she went out there to see and she had fucked him over. So I'm like all right, I'm on the phone with her too. So I'm like all right, cool, so that I can go talk to this lady. It's like all right, it's like seven in the morning. I've got my guys coming from Reno down already. They're on the way to come help me and they're about 45 minutes out and I go talk to before I tell you about this.
Speaker 2:I went into a like one of these little casinos that's off the beaten path for like the locals. I walked in there and had like lunch or whatever. This is where she like to hang out at and I didn't say nothing. I was and the bartender was like asking me hey, where you from? I'm like, oh, I'm from florida, you know. I'm like I'm just here visiting, you know, checking it out, checking the scene out. I got some friends here. I'm gonna go try to link up with them, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 3:You never know your target could be friends with that person, exactly so you don't want to divulge any kind of information that in any way would signal anything.
Speaker 2:Exactly. It's not worth it. So after I got to know the bartender for a little bit, she was pretty cool and she goes oh so, who's your friends? I was like I said whatever, one-eyed Willie, her name. I was like, yeah, I said I got a friend that's out here, one-eyed Willie, and blah blah, blah. And she was like, oh yeah, she comes in here from time to time. Yeah, she stays right around the corner, and it was right around the corner from the gated trailer park. So I was like, okay, cool, appreciate it. I walked out, didn't think nothing of it. Right, I go. This is that next morning. This is when I went to the number one address, the family member's house, and I pull up and I get out and I start talking to this lady out in her front yard and she was like come on in, she's really nice, come on in, come on in. She goes, what are you here for now?
Speaker 2:this is a family member okay, I said when I really has her address coming here I have a warrant for out of north carolina and she goes. I, she told me she took care of that. I said no, ma'am, she didn't. I said she lied to you. She goes, well, she. Well, she stole like $4,000 out of my house and she's not here, no more. But I know exactly where she's at. I said where's it at? And she told me the address and it was the gated trailer park. So I already got two confirmations that she's in this trailer park and that certain trailer Nice. So I looked at it. I said, okay, cool, by this time my boys are rolling around the corner and they pull up at this at the woman's house and they come up.
Speaker 2:We're sitting there talking and I said I got two confirmations. She's in this house, I said, and she's going to go out and she's going to make a phone call that you know, see where she's at, cause she's still friends with the girl, even though she's not living there, even though she stole all this money. She Well, we start heading that way and I'm on the phone with the family member and she says, hey, she's laying in bed right now at the house. Okay, cool, don't say anything else, don't answer no more phone calls, don't do nothing. I said we're right around the corner, we're going to bust it. Okay, now these gates come up and down. Right, you got to have a code or a pass to open the gate, key fob or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We're sitting across the street, me and these hunters from Nevada, right, and we're like all right, as soon as a car goes in, we're just going to go follow in right behind him. And he was like all right, so we get in this neighborhood, we stop and he gets in Nevada. You got to, uh, the bondsman, the local bondsman there, has to call it in. Hey, we're about to hit this house, we need to let you know. And they give the bondsman a number, like a case number.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:So that way it's linked to us and everybody's name is on it. My name was on it, them two's name was on it. So we get out and it's kind of hard to explain. So you've got this one little road in this little neighborhood. It's not big and there's trailers on each side. We're sitting on both sides I'm sitting on one side and they're sitting on another and I send my drone back up in the air. I go look at it. I want to see if there's any movement whatever.
Speaker 2:What the layout is, yeah, what the layout is so out there in Las Vegas, everybody's got bars on their windows and doors, even trailers.
Speaker 3:Real low crime area yeah right Feel safe.
Speaker 2:So we see that and I let my guy know up there I'm going hey, man, there's bars and windows. He goes don't worry, we're used to this, we got the tools to pop them things open. I'm like, all right, cool, Nice.
Speaker 3:You know he I mean yeah, he deals with it a lot.
Speaker 2:He deals with it, yeah. So we decided, all right, we're going to hit this thing and we pull up like the A-team and we get out a lot of 80s references in this.
Speaker 3:Yes, man goonies.
Speaker 2:Anyway, go ahead with your story so he, we, we roll up on his house, we get out. So my guys, other hunter, he goes around to the back and me and him go to the front door and we're banging on the door, we're ready to rock and roll, and this old lady comes to this door and opens it up and now it's a gate.
Speaker 3:They got bars in front of the door Instead of a screen door.
Speaker 2:They got bars and she goes hey, ma'am, you know, tell us what we're there for. So we have a warrant and we need to take her. Yeah, Is she here? And she goes oh, no, no, I don't know. And I got 100% confirmation. She's in there now, 100%, what do you do? What do you do, right? So, Nevada, evidently it works a little differently out there. If I got 100% confirmation, then we can go in. I like that. Yeah, so this little lady closes his door on my guy and he goes if you don't open this door, I'm going to pry these, I'm going to screw your door frame up. He goes I'm going to pry this up and we're coming in. And he starts to do it. And my guy in the back starts to do it too, and she opens don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Speaker 2:Because, evidently it's expensive to replace. So she opens the door and he's like if anybody's in this house, show us your hands and come out. So we're at the doorway. There's like. It's like it's methed up in there, bro, oh really.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, dude, it's methed up.
Speaker 2:I could smell it, it was burning my eyes, I was coughing, it was bad. So we had like four people like, and they ain't taking a shower in like a year. It looks like ain't taking a shower in like a year, it looks like. So they come, we get there, we get them out out of the house and they're sitting on the curb and I'm like where she's at, I don't know, I don't know. I was like bullshit, you know where she's at, I'm gonna go in and get her ass. I just didn't want to go through there and rummage through that place and you know, and have that, that irritation in my eyes, right, but they won't, they won't helping. So my boy was like screw it, we're going on a search, alright. So all three of us are now looking around and you're trying to be quiet because you're listening for movement, right, yeah, and so we're looking through the living room.
Speaker 2:It's fucking nasty, man, it is so nasty. Describe it. You know what a landfill looks like. Yeah, inside of a trailer, oh, just trash, there was feces everywhere really, yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, meth people like I don't know, they just lose their don't care yeah, about everything. Yeah, yeah, it was bad so all right.
Speaker 2:So I'm walking, we do the living room and kitchen and there's three back bedrooms. So my guy's in the hallway looking in the hallway waiting for me to get done. I don't see it. I'm like I'm turning shit over. I'm trying not to destroy their house.
Speaker 3:Describe this girl again. Is she thin Is? She bigger she a thicker, she a thicker, thicker all right. She can't hide in too much small spots. Okay, all right, just trying to figure out where all this chick could be hiding. Oh, you just wait, here it comes.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, here it comes. Oh God, it's so nasty Trying to paint the picture for everybody. So the first bedroom I come to, to my left, I walk in and it's just mountains of clothes. I'm like gosh, it could be. It could be in that. She could be anywhere Maybe, and I'm looking like I got a flashlight. I'm outside the door. I'm looking at a flashlight because I got my gun. You know. I got my gun up because you don't know what she's has, you don't know.
Speaker 3:Also, it's surprising that she's a starting Stim fast diet. Anyway, continue with your story. Sorry, it's just an observation. You know, don't stereotype methods.
Speaker 1:All right, got it.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 2:So I'm looking at his room, right, I look at my guy, I'm going hey, bro, I hear something. And he was like no, could be rats.
Speaker 3:I know, I know it could be. It could be cockroaches, it could be, it could be anything out there.
Speaker 2:So I'm looking at my guy. I don't, I don't you. You know he can't hear me talk. I'm just pointing into this little closet that's to my left as soon as I walk into this room, right, right, and I walk in there and I've got a gun. Now I'm, I get over to close and I look and I see some greasy hair that looks like my girl and I didn't say nothing. Yeah, I just kind of let her know that, like my girl, and I didn't say nothing. I just kind of let her know, like let her think that I didn't see her, right, and I look at it, I look at my boy.
Speaker 3:I nod my head. Come on, that's when it gets fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right, here it comes right, yeah, yeah, so he's coming in, it, he's coming in.

And she does like this with her hands and all I see is so much hair on her armpits and it's sweaty, bro, she is sweating bad. We drag her out, get her in handcuffs and I'm like why are you trying to hide? She goes well, you know I'm going to jail for a while. I'm like why are you trying to hide? She goes well, you know I'm going to jail for a while. I'm like well, look, it's over with you know we're done.
Speaker 3:You can quit looking over your shoulder. You can rest easy now.
Speaker 2:And I was like, all right, we got to go, cause we got, I got to and it's morning time now. That's around 8, 30, 9 o'clock, so I'm like, all right, we got plenty of time to get a flight. Hold on, we got time coming home, though.
Speaker 2:That's good yeah yeah, yeah, game time. So we were walking out and she goes hey, I'm on my period. I'm like, oh my God, what am I supposed to do with this? And she goes can I please put a tampon in? I was like look, I said, as long as the understanding you know that it's over with and I'm going to treat you with as much respect as you treat me and we ain't going to no problems already. She's like no, no, no.
Speaker 3:I'm like well, you're gonna keep your handcuffs on yeah, I mean, do you trust the method you just met? Well, I I mean I made her leave the door, did you? Did you like, go with her and watch her physically pick out what she needed?
Speaker 2:yeah, I gave it to her. She was like hey, it's on it's on. I was like all right, so I got I she only had one left too.
Speaker 3:Oh lord, that sounds bad for the trip later.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is, it was I'll tell you about that in a second, so I give it to her. I got the door open. I'm like, look, I'm gonna give you some privacy, but this door's got to stay open because I I'm I don't trust you. Yeah, you don't know what she's got. So I'm kind of like I'm side-eyed, kind of like my peripheral, I'm trying to like so she does her thing, she gets out. She's like hey, I appreciate you Don't shake hands.
Speaker 3:No hell, no Tell her. To wash her hands.
Speaker 2:I got gloves on bro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, she washed her hands.
Speaker 2:Okay, we get outside and and I let her have a cigarette, because you want, I will smoke. I smoked at a time. Oh yeah, I'm smoke free, by the way, since September 11th of 2023,.
Speaker 3:September 11th. Huh, yep, that's when you started. Yeah, that's when I stopped. Okay, I mean, you stopped yeah.
Speaker 2:That's started, your stopping program.
Speaker 2:I have not had one since. Okay, so give her a cigarette. Yeah, let her smoke. I'm like, all right, bros, I said we need to get out of here. I don't want to stay around much longer. So we get in the cars and I go ahead and pack my like, pack some of my shit up real quick and we go to a convenience store right around the corner from the airport. Right, all right, we all meet there. I'm getting my stuff together while they're watching her and she was like, hey look, I'm going to need some more tampons, pads or something. I'm like, all right, what do you need? So I go in the store and I buy her a box and I get her something to drink and I come back out. She was cool. She was cool the entire trip and she was like I'm sorry, you know, she apologized for him. And so we.
Speaker 2:We get to the airport. I booked flights there at the convenience store Last minute flights Perfect, they had some available. Get to the airport. My boys in Nevada were like, all right, we're gone, you don't need us, no more, have fun. I'm like, all right, I'll pay you as soon as I get back, sweet. So we get in the airplane, we go through TSA. Everything was easy, easy peasy, because I'd never flown out of Las Vegas with a prisoner.
Speaker 3:And it's a high-traffic airport, so you don't know what's going on. Yeah, what airline did you fly with? American.
Speaker 2:American, american, I'm back. And we flew from there to charlotte, charlotte the women. Well in the middle of flight she was like, hey, I really need to change the time. I'm like, all right, cool, and we're sitting at the very back of the plane right by the toilet. So, yeah, I told her. So you can't lock the door, I said because I can unlock it. So just let you know I can unlock this thing, come in and get you and it's a small bathroom. I was like don't, don't screw up in this plane, you'll, you'll get more federal charges.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's not a lot she can do in there so she goes in, does her thing, comes back out, you know. And she goes to sleep, and so do I. I'm I exhausted. So what was the deal.
Speaker 3:Did you uncuff her?
Speaker 2:No, hell. No, I didn't uncuff her, you just put them in the front. Yeah, just put them up front. And so when we land in Charlotte, I'm calling the bonds and going hey look, we're in Charlotte, everything's on time.
Speaker 3:Come get this chick, so I can go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, come get this chick so I can go. Yeah, Get this chick when I land in Wilmington, you better be ready and you better have my money. Yeah yeah, all right, cool. So we fly out of Charlotte, get into Wilmington, we land, we come out. I'm almost delusional at this time because I've been up for days and I've been drinking Red Bull and everything else I can to stay up. That's the reason I don't drink that mess no more, because yeah, it'll make your heart flutter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it put me into the hospital one time. So I come out and there was the bondsman standing there and the first thing I said, hey, bro, we ain't going to stay here long, but you got my money. And he's like, yeah, I'm short a little bit. I'm like, dude, what you talking about short? Because, yeah, I'm short five hundred dollars. I was like, well, you can't have her, wow and he goes well, hang on.
Speaker 2:So his, his wife, girlfriend, whatever she was, she's I. I hang on, let me see what I got. So they cashed at me 500 bucks and then gave me the cash. I'm like cool, she's yours.
Speaker 3:She was like hey, appreciate you, you don't mess around with something like that. That's 100 grand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's $100. Yeah, and I charged him 10% plus all my expenses Right, right Standard. So she's still in prison today, really, yes. And when she got into Duplin County she told everybody they're in the jail. She's like because everybody talks, yeah, because I talked to her afterwards in the cell and she was like yeah, I told everybody a hunter came out and got me in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3:Oh, that gives her some cred. Yeah, it gives her some cred, yeah.
Speaker 2:And so she was like don't run on these fools, they come get your ass. So that was my story about one-eyed willie in las vegas.
Speaker 3:Well, that's cool man, that's cool.
Speaker 2:I figured that'd be a good one.
Speaker 3:I remember you talking about that one.
Speaker 2:It's just I lost, uh forgot some of the details man we that's been a while back too uh, there's so many, yeah, there's so many that we've done that we don't remember until the last minute this one here. I'm like, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:That's the purpose is this Tell them before we forget them. We'll work away from back to forward so that you know, yeah, there's your notch right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got my notch in there. Got the notch in there, baby.
Speaker 3:We quit doing that at some point. I don't know why, but we should. We should put a few, we can remember them.

The guy was like a little bitty squirmy thing, I love you, baby, baby. On the way back when he's like I love you, babe, I want to marry you I don't remember that one.
Speaker 3:See, that's just, that's it, that's it.
