but without me telling them, they can t say for sure that it s a can. while chewing tobacco might lead to sanctions for wesson, the jail has seen an increase of inmates with addictions to a far more insidious drug. methamphetamine. most of our methamphetamine comes from mexico.mi it is shipped up out of arizona or california or texas. sedgwick county sheriff jeff easter says a network of highways that runs through wichita makes it a hub for drug trafficking.ke we are a major distribution point because of 54, highway i-135 that leads minnesota and denver. it s my philosophy that drugs drives most of the crime here in this area, and we need to do something to try to combat that before it comes into the community. today, corporals brown and simmons will check in on a recently returned inmate who knows the toll meth can take. she s always been cordial.
that s all i have ever been arrested for is petty theft. taking stuff from walmart or wherever. wesson has a long history of stealing and getting caught. he has nine prior theft convictions and recently pled guilty to felony theft, and is now awaiting sentencing. the objective is to be in and out fast. go in, get what you got to get and go out the door. tvs, computers, stuff like that. i don t run out or anything like that. i just walk out, smiling and waving. they think i m a normal customer. now wesson has been caught on camera stealing again. this time it was inside the jail. and involved a tin of chewing tobacco. looks like he stole some deputy s can of chew out of his bag. he snuck behind the deputy s g. desk, slinking down, crawling on his belly where the deputy had his bag. he comes back you see an object in his hand that s brown, prette much looks like a can of tobacco and ended up going into the gym with it which lord knows what happened to it after that.
mr. wesson, if you d like to have a seat for me, please. all right. lieutenant walker conducts the hearing. looks like they served you a dd notice for theft but since there is a possibility this could also be charged in court as well, you have some rights. wasn t aware this had anything to do with court. i thought i was just 15 days in the hole. the answer to that question is they also cut it for theft of the tobacco products from the deputy, so a copy of the dd paperwork and copy of the tape recording is going to be forwarded along to the detectives. the detectives present that to the d.a. s office who ultimately decides whether charges will be pressed. wesson has learned the stakes have just risen. in addition to time in disciplinary detention, he might also be charged criminally for stealing the tobacco. meaning possible prison time if found guilty. like a new arrestee outside the jail, he is read his rights. you have the right to remain silent.
but i have lost my teeth to drugs and things like that. i ve already had two heart attacks the last year. i can t live that lifestyle anymore. but for now, wesson has another issue to deal with. he was recently caught on camera sneaking behind the deputy s desk in his housing unit and stealing a can of chewing tobacco. earlier, deputies allowed him to review the evidence against him. they brought me down to the sergeant s office or whatever, whole bunch of tv screens in front of you and said stand right here and watch this. man, it was embarrassing. i ve already spoke to the guard that i even took the chewing tobacco from. he knows i did it. i know i did it. we even spoke about it. no hard feelings between me and him. today, wesson has a disciplinary hearing on the matter. despite insurmountable evidence, he says he will stick to his story that he only went behind the desk looking for toilet paper. even though that would also be an infraction. wesson figures maybe a less serious
attempts to bond out. and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. samuel wesson s chewing tobacco caper becomes more than he bargained for. i ve always loved seeing what s next. and i m still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there s a better treatment than warfarin, i ll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what s next? sharing my roots. don t stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve
