As 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.040 officers led him away, William cried out and completed for help. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:50.320 I Hel, wait, so now he's playing the victim, I throng, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:55.880 he me. He wasn't doing anything wrong. Oh yeah, he 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.200 was just sticking his penis out the window because he 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.160 wants to play ring toss with the niaghbor. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.200 All right, you're on the line, sir hi o oh 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:06.720 god hel. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.040 The home at the center of the chaos now sits empty. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.760 Neighbors told CBSLA they've called LAPD hundreds of times over 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:15.840 the past four years. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.080 That is so embarrassing. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.680 If you're the cop that arrested him, do you think 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.000 you put some newspaper down on the backseat of your 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.320 car before you put him in the back of the 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.400 black and white. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.120 I hate to be this callous about it, but is 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.440 it all possible that the reason something was finally done 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.680 was because the councilwoman and the mayor were going to 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.520 be on the debate stage, and they were worried this 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:38.680 question would come up. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.560 Now, this guy is clearly suffering from some kind of 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:51.319 mental health crisis, and the cops who finally arrested them him, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.240 I hope they took all of the care that would 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.520 be required to deal with someone who's going through a 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.880 crisis like this, and with that loving care. I hope 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.520 when they arrested him and they are putting him in 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.560 the back of that black and white, that they hit 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.360 his head at the top of the black and white 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.080 about five or six times before he finally made it 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:15.960 to that back seat. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.560 When you're a police officer and you have to take 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:28.320 someone into custody and they're naked, does the department spring 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:29.960 for a car wash afterwards? 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.720 I would hope so, not only a car wash, but 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.280 they're going to need that baby powder freshener two. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.560 You know, we could never do this because we're governed 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.920 by the FCC. But if we weren't, we could take 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.920 calls from an hour from current and former police officers 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.920 and they would tell us the things that have been 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.680 done in the back of their police cars. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.080 Oh well, every time you arrest a homeless person, there's 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.000 going to be all kinds of fluids back there. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.240 They say officers would respect, but the problems never stopped. 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.520 A neighbor who asked us not to show his identity 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.640 hopes it's different this time around. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:11.800 Especially to my wife, she feels like, Okay, hopefully it's. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.160 For a while. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.160 It's not like one or two days and come back 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.320 and go back to the same thing again. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.240 What he's doing is not acceptible. That's him. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.760 He's not is not is not being a good neighbor. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.600 He is definitely not being a good neighbor. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.360 What does he state for him? 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.960 They're not being a good neighbor either. No, I hope 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:40.040 you Oh boy, he cry laughs too. Typically, you're not 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.960 supposed to make fun of the mentally ill, But because 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.800 he's been openly threatening and flashing people, we're gonna have 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.280 all the fun we want with this one. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.960 No, I hope you. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.120 Wait, we're not supposed to make fun of the mentally ill. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.640 What are you new here? 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.640 All right? So what happened? 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.560 If the ladies from Mecita happened to walk on to 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.240 Garden Grove Boulevard when this guy was getting carried away. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:19.760 That would be cut quite a scene.

Man, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:22.400 he really needs it. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.200 William is being held at the Van Eys Jail on 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.360 a seventy five thousand dollars bond.

What's to 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.080 stop him from taking that off in the cell? 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.000 What you think he's going to nude up right there 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:02.800 in the jail too. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.119 He seems to have a problem with clothing, and I 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.080 don't necessarily think that's going to change now that he's 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:09.600 in jail. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.960 You know, if they arrest him there and they take 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.000 him to that holding cell, he's going to be in 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.840 that holding cell with all the hardcore gang members that 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:27.200 just got arrested at the park.

Let's go to Bill in Santa Rosia. Bill. Hello, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:44.600 Hi John, Randy. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.119 You were just commenting earlier about what it was like 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:53.520 with a parment a police officer vehicle dealing with let's say, 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:59.040 unsanitary situations like with the naked man. I can put 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.879 a little bit of experience on that. I was a 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:08.919 security officer at a hospital in Mendocino County, and of 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.440 course there were times when we'd have situations where, oh, 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.040 something would break out with fifty one fifty, or somebody 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.080 would come in for one reason or another with a 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:22.360 violent situation, and we'd have to help the officers load 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.840 these people into the back seat of the vehicle. And 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.919 there were times, not many, but a few where they 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.000 were defecating or urinating at the same time we were 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.680 trying to load them into the back of the car. 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.240 Oh no, oh yeah, yeah. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.320 Oh yeah, we were stepping in it. Oh it was 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.640 a mess. But the seats in the back are fiberglass. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.439 They're like you'd see like in a food court or 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.119 something like that. The very smooth, slick, almost like a 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:55.400 bucket couple of bucket seats back there. And the horrible 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.000 thing about it is the poor officer would have to 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.439 drive the individual like across county to county jail or 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:07.800 whatever with that situation. How horrible that must be having 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.960 to smell all of that and deal with. Of course, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.520 vomiting was another situation. It was just horrible. I mean, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.800 it's just you can you can imagine all kinds of 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.280 absolutely abhorrent situations, and those poor guys have. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.640 So what you're saying is it's like having a two 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.239 year old back there without a diaper.
