Cop Tries to Shut Off Bodycam Over Personal Issue

Police report:
“On July 3, 2022, I was dispatched to Marianna Florida, in reference to a stolen camper trailer. Upon arrival, I was contacted by the victim, who advised that he was contacted by his neighbor about his horse being loose. When he arrived, he found that his 2006 black camper trailer was missing. He said it was stored in his pole barn and described it being a Harley Davidson trailer with the lettering being removed but still had the eagle stickers on all four sides.

He went on to state that when it was taken as it was being taken out through the gate they turned too hard and damaged the fence. I did observe fresh tire marks on the grass and fresh dirt on the roadway corroborating what the complainant had stated. I photographed the scene, and I departed attempting to locate the trailer with negative results.

Once I had received all the information for the trailer was sent out to the Jackson COunty Dispatch for the trailer to be entered into NCIC/FCIC as stolen. On July 3, 2022, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office received information from a caller, who advised that she had been behind the stolen trailer she had learned about on Facebook. She was able to provide the tag that confirmed it was indeed the stolen trailer.

Deputy Warner was able to locate the trailer being towed by a white GMC Van. Sheriff Edenfield who was in the area assisted Deputy Wagner as he was able to lawfully detain the driver, who was identified as Larry. It should be noted that there was a passenger identified as Shannon.

Deputy Warner was able to run Larry’s driver’s license through the Jackson County Dispatch learning that Larry had a warrant out of Kentucky for absconding parole supervision and for failure to report to the parole officer as directed. Shannon was run through dispatch with negative results on the information she had provided.

Once I had arrived on the scene I was able to read his Miranda warning who waived his rights, stating that he wanted to talk to me. I asked Larry where he got the trailer and he advised that he went to the gas station across the street from a barbecue restaurant.

LArry then stated he had spoken to a male named he knew only as Alvin who was wearing a gray “bib” but could not provide further detail. He then went on to state that he had stage four cancer resulting in having a bad memory. Larry continued that he talked to Alvin for about an hour before he rented the camper for $500. I asked Larry what time he had spoken to Alvin, but he could not give me a consistent answer. He first said it was around lunch but when he learned it was not even 12 yet, changed it to between 8 and 9.

She stated they had gone to the gas station but she did not remember LArry speaking to anyone let alone speaking to someone for any length of time. Shannon then went on to state that Larry picked her up last night and wasn't exactly sure where they were. It should be noted that Larry’s story was very inconsistent and changed several times, but Shannon was consistent with very minor changes which led me to believe she was not an accessory.

I observed a deep gouge that went all the way through the trailer's sheet metal on the left side. This gouge was consistent with the damage caused by the gate as the trailer had been taken. I further observed that the GMC van had damage on the left side that was the same height and appeared to be done by the same gate.

I photographed the damage to the trailer and GMC van which will be included in the case file. The trailer was returned to the victim and the GMC van was removed by John’s Automotive to be towed back to Panama City upon owner’s request.”
