Also, she's allegedly drunk and high on drugs. When cops finally manage to get her out of the car, she doesn't ask about the victim she crashed into.

In the last hours, a development in the case against the soap opera star. One of the drivers injured by Haley Poulos, sues the lounge where the General Hospital star for, quote, after allegedly

The 25-year-old soap star Beauty pulled over and charged with DUI following a crash. Cops say it happened while she was driving drunk and going the wrong way on a Pasadena freeway. And now a popular restaurant and nightclub near L.A. has been dragged into the case with a lawsuit. The no comment lounge in Pasadena is in hot water, allegedly plying the actress with drink after drink after drink. And then letting her get on the freeway. What happened?

This woman, Haley Poulos, was last spotted driving to a luxury, nearly $3,000 a night, Malibu rehab after she plows her vehicle wrong way on the interstate. Can you imagine how fast they were going? All the while we know the head-on collision was preceded by another hit and run where the actress allegedly rammed into another person, took off, and then plows in to this victim on the interstate. gourmet dining, hot tub, yoga, horseback riding, fishing, beach access, and off-site activities during treatment. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.

Thanks for being with us here at Fox Nation and Sirius XM 111. First of all, take a listen to our friends at ABC and KTLA. General Hospital star Haley Poulos has been arrested for an alleged DUI, accused of causing a major freeway wreck. The incident happened on the 134 in Pasadena, where the CHP says she entered the freeway into oncoming traffic. She collided head-on with another car, destroying both vehicles. Poulos was hospitalized, where she was then arrested for DUI.

The driver of the other car was also hospitalized with major injuries. Police say Poulos was also involved in a hit-and-run crash before the freeway accident. According to Soap Opera Digest, the show has temporarily recast her character. She was arrested at the hospital and faces DUI charges. Wait, excuse me. To Jen Smith, chief investigative reporter with DailyMail.com, the soap opera digest, no offense, their banner, their headline is, her part has been recast. What about the victims? Two victims, I believe, in one day, Jen.

Yeah, and look, I think I might be able to explain why that's what they headlined on, Nancy. And it's because when they reached out to Hayley Kulos, they heard about this crash. She just said to them, I was involved in a car accident. I'm okay. I just need some time to recover. She failed to mention the fact that the reason she was involved in a crash is because she was driving drunk,

possibly under the influence of drugs, and had hit not one but two cars like you mentioned. Okay, I'm going to read it verbatim because it's just so, it's so incredulous. It's hard to believe. She plows into not one but two victims, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think she was going wrong way, drunk or on drugs, on the interstate. And plows into somebody just after another hit and run. She hit and she ran and then has a head-on collision. Quote, this is from Soap Opera Digest. I hope you're sitting down. Quote, unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident.

What? She's either drunk or high on something, according to prosecutors. I mean a snootful. And this is I was involved in an automobile accident. Somebody wrote this for her. And I'm doing okay. But I'm going to need a little time to recover. In your Malibu rehab?

Seriously? Doing yoga, hot tub, gourmet dining, horseback riding, fishing, beach access, and off-site activities? What? Okay, wait. I will be back as soon as possible! Exclamation. Okay, just let that sink in. Joining me in addition to Jen Smith, chief reporter at DailyMail.com, the former president of Georgia MAD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, founder, director of Cold Case Research Institute, and star of a new hit podcast, Zone 7, Cheryl McCollum, the gall to say, I'll be back as soon as possible. What?

Nancy, she's busy. I mean, she's got to take some time with all the horseback riding, fishing, yoga, and going to the beach. I mean, she's not even going to have time to detox. The biggest banner is she's been recast. Jen Smith, I'm just trying to figure out what exactly happened. First, I want to get to the wrong way on the interstate, because interstate to me means 75 MPH at best. And how do you do a head-on collision on the interstate? Everybody's supposed to be going the same way. Yeah, I mean,

so much of us, we still don't know. But what we do know, this happened around 1.30 in the morning. Now, what we know, according to the police reports so far, is that she was driving on this freeway. She swerved. She clears the dividing barrier and crashes into a car traveling on the opposite direction, head on at what we know so far is 60 miles per hour, definitely fast enough to cause some serious damage. And the driver of that car was taken to the hospital with

severe injury. Wait, did you say impact? Was it 60 MPH? That's this car where the victim's car was traveling at at least 60 miles per hour when she crashed into it, driving in the wrong direction. Joining me right now, Joseph Tremblay, senior forensic engineer and accident reconstructionist with Veritech Consulting Engineering. And you can find him at VeritechENG.com, VeritechEngineering.com. Joseph, thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. What do all of these numbers and the speeds and going across the median, which actually may have reduced her speed somewhat. What do you make of this? What happened? Well, the way I understand it, and I'm taking some of

this directly from Daily Mail, was that she was initially traveling westbound on Highway 134 and was involved in an accident that was less severe with an Oldsmobile driver, potentially causing her to redirect in a direction that would cause her to launch over the median barrier and then become traveling in the oncoming traffic lane on the eastbound side. And then at that point, she contacted the Kia that was driven by the 23-year-old male. One thing I did find interesting about these photographs that were provided by the responding emergency personnel was that the point of rest for both of these vehicles

was all the way over on the right side of the road, which means that she probably was airborne and traveling across the entire highway before she contacted this Kia. The damage to both vehicles is severe. It appears that it is a front end impact impact biased a little bit towards the driver's side of both vehicles. But the damage is significant all the way from the front bumper through the occupant compartment. And one thing I did read on one of these news articles is that she had to be extricated with the jaws of life.

Well, that's exactly my thinking. In fact, Joseph Tremblay, senior forensic engineer and accident reconstructionist, why do you have to use the jaws of life? Well, in severe accidents like this one, what ends up happening from the impact crush that occurs to the vehicle is that a lot of times the occupant compartment, the area where the driver sits, becomes so damaged that the front end of the vehicle, the bumper, and then both doors become so intermingled and entangled together from the impact that you can't get out. The driver, if they do survive a significant impact like this, a lot of times they can't get out of the vehicle. And that could be because they're injured or because the vehicle itself is just so damaged that they can't get out. Well, I can tell you this much from what I know, Jen Smith, joining us dailymail.com.

She's not so injured that she's not at the Malibu rehab. Let's see Malibu detox and residential treatment center where she has hot tub. What all did I say? Hot tub, gourmet dining, yoga, horseback, fishing, beach access, off-site activities. She's not hurt. She's fine. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

In the last days, a highly popular restaurant and bar are dragged into the controversy surrounding a soap opera star, a gorgeous young 25-year-old star of General Hospital apparently gets boozed up and has a double crash going the wrong way down a Pasadena freeway. Now, the No Comment Lounge. Yes, that's really their name. The No Comment Lounge is being sued by one of the victims. How this whole thing unfold? You just heard Joseph Tremblay state that you have to use jaws of life, which they look like giant metal pinchers that actually cut through the metal to extricate someone when the car is so damaged and disfigured. So she's not hurt, Jen Smith. I mean, the last photo I've seen of this woman,

her dad is driving her to this luxury treatment center after a stop at Taco Bell. She has not lost her appetite. She definitely has not lost her appetite. And no, you're quite right. She wasn't seriously injured obviously this was hugely fortunate for her that she was not seriously injured but we do know a little bit about how she behaved when she was brought out of this vehicle now these emergency personnel they clearly are risking their own safety getting people out of these situations. And Nancy, when Hayley Poulos was pulled out of her vehicle, she actually complained to them that she was worried they were going to tear her $400 shirt.

She was cursing at these men and women who were saving her. And she was more worried about her clothes. She was then taken to the hospital, we imagine as a precaution and to be checked over. And that is where the investigating authorities noticed that her speech was blurred. There was alcohol on her breath and they were able to make the determination that she was over the limit. We're not quite sure yet by how much. But after they searched what was, you know, still intact in terms of her car, they found a mini bottle of tequila and they found marijuana edibles.

Tequila and pot. Wow. The car wasn't the only thing airborne. Guys, speaking of her very bad behavior after not one but two crashes, take a listen to Mike Rogers, KCAL. There is a TMZ report that claims that after she was extricated, she was not terribly nice to a firefighter, claiming that her shirt is worth $400, don't cut it, despite the fact that she allegedly just caused this pretty bad crash. So the CHP is now investigating this whole thing again. She's been arrested for DUI and driving wrong way on a freeway. Also a criminal charge. Okay, let me get this straight.

You know what? Let me go out to you, Robert Crispin. Crispin, private investigator, former federal task force officer for the DOJ, Department of Justice, with DEA in the Miami Field Division, former homicide investigator, now at Crispin Special Investigations. Find him at crispininvestigations.com. Robert Crispin, she cussed out the emergency techs and warned them they better not hurt her $400 blouse.

Help me. I've seen it a bunch of times, Nancy. You know, before becoming a federal agent, you know, I was a city cop. And, gosh, I've arrested so many people for DUI. And the reason they're cutting her shirt is because they need to look at her to make sure she doesn't have any bullet holes in her. Was she shot before the crash? They need to see if there's any other injuries anywhere on her body.

That's very typical of a drunk driver to be argumentative. That's one of the telltale signs. Argumentative, odor of alcohol, bloodshot watery eyes, combative, all that. That's all part of the bigger picture. I mean, you know, Dr. Sherry Schwartz joining us, forensic psychologist specializing in capital mitigation. You can find her at PantherMitigation.com. She's the author of Criminal Behavior and also the author of Where Law and Psychology Intersect Issues in Legal Psychology on Twitter at TrialDoc. Dr. Sherry Schwartz, thank you for being with us. Okay, you'd think she would have stopped after the first crash, that hit and run, but no.

The thought of stopping and checking on that victim, that did not occur to her. She continued on to have a head-on collision with another driver and then have the wherewithal not to ask about, oh, my stars, is that guy hurt? You damn well better not cut my $400 blouse, B. I mean, that's what happened. Yes. And I hope it's on body cam so that everybody can see it in court because that'll be extra special.

Wait, is that your medical diagnosis that will be extra special? Because I really like that. And I do mitigation, as you know, Nancy, and these are the kinds of crimes that I won't touch because it's completely preventable. And here is someone that has to be removed from her own vehicle with the jaws of life. And I, I, I've never seen this happen, but I imagine it takes some time for that to happen. They don't just clamp that thing down and out you come, right? I imagine it takes some time. And during that time, why is she not thinking, oh, oh my goodness, like, am I going to survive? Is the victim going to survive? You know, am I going to get into trouble? No, she's worried about her $400

blouse. And she was so aggressive, according to what I read, that she had to be sedated at the hospital because she was even aggressive with hospital staff. And what we know, what the psychology research shows us about this type of behavior is that the alcohol tends to amplify trait behavior. So this is somebody who likely has issues with aggression. Jarrett Farentino joining us, veteran homicide prosecutor. You can find him on Facebook and Insta, Jarrett Farentino. Jarrett, really? Tequila and edibles pot? And she's worried about her $400 blouse and becomes abusive, cursing out the EMTs,

trying to get her out of her car with the jaws of life. Well, Nancy, it's Haley's world and we're all just living in it. That's the attitude that I get here. She has alcohol, marijuana, edibles. If it was truly a hit and run too, I mean, she could have been, and the details of this haven't come out, she could have been blacked out behind the wheel. So she got to a point where she is so out of her mind on whatever she's intoxicated on that she is not even in touch with reality, has the hit and run, careens into the oncoming lane, and causes these very, very bad injuries

to this young man. So her conduct before is a series of bad decisions. If she wasn't passed out, it was a hit and run, she didn't render aid to somebody, and she careens into that oncoming lane. It's one intentional act and bad decision after another by Haley. And then after the accident, mistreats emergency personnel and was combative at the hospital. Just a bad actress all the way around. Nancy, can I just wonder what those EMTs had to say? No good deed goes unpunished. Is that Cheryl McCollum jumping in? Yes, ma'am. Go ahead. But I just want to tell you, before you say one more word, as your lawyer, let me advise you that Poulos' stay at the Malibu rehab could cost nearly $30,000. Okay. Okay.

Go ahead. Alcohol makes you more of who you are. So if you drink and want to fight everybody in the bar, that's who you are. If you get drunk and want to sleep with a perfect stranger, that's who you are at your core. Alcohol does not change you. Most people drink so they can do these things. So like when a woman says, oh, he's good to me until he starts drinking and then he beats me. No, he drinks so he can beat you. So there's a difference when you look at somebody that has caused thousands of dollars worth of damage in these vehicles, caused thousands of dollars worth of rescue equipment in that time, and she's worried about a $400 shirt.

And everybody loves firefighters. They know how to defuse a situation. They call you by your first name. They try to calm you down. They are literally only there to help you. And you're going to try to punch one of them? That's who you are. According to court documents we've just gotten our mitts on,

the General Hospital soap opera star Poulos was, quote, encouraged by the owner of the no comment lounge to drink. And she did exactly that, according to the documents, quote, on the night of the incident, she even drank with the manager. It goes on to say there was, quote, no plan provided to safely get Haley Poulos, who was encouraged to get intoxicated, to increase profits for the bar, home. The allegations say the No Comment Lounge put making money above the safety of the public. Courtney Wilder paid the price for this profit grab. He goes on to allege that photos of the owner of the No Comment Lounge, Ann Haley Poulos, drinking alcohol on the night of the crashes exist,

claiming the nightclub could have, quote, easily provided an Uber or taxi for Poulos. Instead, they saved money and let her drive away intoxicated. All the while, the soap opera star Hilly Poulos, who has played the character Molly Lansing Davis on General Hospital since she was just 11 years old, is facing hard jail time if she's convicted of two DUI felonies. Can you imagine driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway? I don't know how these people even lived. You see the airbags deployed.

These cars are mangled. Now, we know Poulos, of course, survived. But the other driver has sustained major injuries. So the drunk person is more relaxed and somehow ends up walking away or at least being a lot less injured than all the other parties. Because I don't know if you've seen this picture of these mangled cars. One looks like it's basically been cut in half. They really look awful. I don't know how anyone survived this.

The big push to legalize marijuana, and whether you're for it or against it, I, of course, am against it. Not because I think you're going to sit on your sofa and smoke a big fat doobie. My concern is you're going to get on the road and drive and more vehicular homicides will occur because you're stoned. Guys, this woman, this soap opera star who wants us to know she'll be back really soon from her luxury rehab. Haley Poulos is by far not the first. Does the name Mel Gibson ring a bell? Take a listen to our cut nine.

Thursday night, Mel Gibson was arrested on the Pacific Coast Highway with a bottle of tequila in his brand new Lexus. And he was clocked at about 84 miles an hour in a 45 mile an hour zone. He, according to the sheriff's department, was arrested without incident. We're now finding out today that he not only leveled some, what can only be conceived as or perceived as, what can only be perceived as anti-Semitic comments to the officer, but also some pretty harassing, sexually harassing comments to a female officer. So there's a lot more to this story than meets the eye. You were hearing our friends at Extra, Mel Gibson, ranting anti-Semitic slurs and sex slurs. But take a listen to our friends at ABC.

An angry rant caught on tape. You are provocatively dressed all the time with your fake boobs. You feel you have to show off in tight outfits and tight pants. Celebrity site Radar Online reports Mel Gibson, unaware he was being recorded, lashed out at his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his eight-month-old child, Oksana Grigorieva. I'm just telling you the truth. I don't like it. I don't want that woman. I don't want you. His comments allegedly get worse, turning to racial slurs, which new reports say led to the William Morris Talent Agency dropping Gibson. Gibson's people say the split was mutual okay so that was a fight with his girlfriend the mom of his child the original brouhaha was about comments he made while drunk

driving of course he's not the only celebrity to misbehave and explode it wouldn't be fair not to manage mention alec Baldwin, would it? Our Cut 13 from ABC. Taking his public blowouts with the press to a whole new level. Trying to get into his car outside his New York apartment on Friday with his wife and three-month-old baby, the famously hot-tempered actor got in the face of a female New York TV reporter whom his wife says hit her in the face with a microphone a day earlier.

You're the one that almost hit my wife with a microphone in the face? I did not. I didn't say to her. I asked you a question. Do you want to apologize to her? I did not apologize to you. I asked you a question. Still fuming, Baldwin brings over nearby cops demanding they take action.

Mom, I do want to press charges against her. She assaulted my wife. The ruckus didn't stop there as Baldwin then bangs into another car as he tries to leave his parking spot. That's the tip of the iceberg right there. But I want to get back to driving drunk and bad celebrity behavior when they're already driving drunk. And in Poulos' case, two crashes sending one person to the hospital that we know of with serious, serious injuries. Take a listen to our friend Jim Murray at Inside Edition, the now infamous incident regarding Heather Locklear. Heather, how are you doing? The turmoil continues for troubled actress Heather Locklear.

The former Melrose Place star shielded her face with a hoodie today after being busted yet again. Do you have any statement to make at all, Ms. Locklear? Locklear allegedly struck a cop and a paramedic who were responding to a 911 call at her home Sunday night. She was extremely intoxicated, and at one point she actually kicked a deputy, a cop and a paramedic who were responding to a 911 call at her home Sunday night. She was extremely intoxicated. And at one point, she actually kicked a deputy, at which point she was arrested.

Blockler was released after posting $20,000 bail. She said nothing as she left jail with her attorney. We have no comment. She was wearing flip-flops and pajamas as she headed to a car. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. The General Hospital soap star was also charged with hit and run, carrying another year behind bars if convicted for allegedly running into a parked car just before the freeway crash. She, of course, has pled not guilty to all the charges. that the soap opera star drove her white Ford Fusion westbound onto the eastbound 134 freeway, then smashed head on into Wilder's Kia, which was traveling at 60 miles an hour. Both cars were completely total.

And when first responders arrived, cops say Poulos was unable to get out of her car, so firefighters had to use the jaws of life to get her out. They spotted several mini bottles of tequila plus edible marijuana wrappers all over the car. Cops at the crash scene report she stunk of alcohol, she had slurred speech and glassy eyes. The lawsuit filed by the victim Wilder, who was also rushed in critical condition to the hospital, she had to undergo emergency surgery. Wilder accuses the soap opera star Poulos of, quote, attacking and abusing the first responders in a rage at the crash site, even hitting and yelling at them for touching her expensive designer shirt. Ouch. The lawsuit alleges that in a, quote, fit of rage, Haley Poulos battered a firefighter and yelled at him to take his hands off her, quote, $400 effing shirt. End quote.

Wow, I'm looking at a picture of this car. I can't believe the people lived. The lawsuit puts it in a nutshell. Despite having just caused two crashes, one resulting in serious life-threatening injuries, she cared more about her overpriced clothing than she did about the safety and well-being of the victims. He goes on to allege that as more evidence of her abhorrent behavior, Haley Poulos, the soap opera star,

continued to fight medical staff and was forced to be sedated. Well, all those mini bottles of tequila and pot edible wrappers strewn around her car isn't going to help anything. And, of course, shortly after the crash, Poulos was spotted checking into a luxury rehab facility in Malibu. Why does everybody have to get drunk and then attack the cop,

or in Poulos' case, the firefighter? Well, I mean, I think at that point they can't hide who they are because they're intoxicated. So, again, when you look at this behavior, it is a pattern. They repeat over and over. This isn't the first time they've been intoxicated. This isn't the first time they've driven drunk. And, Nancy, the reality of this crime is we lose 13,000 people a year to drunk driving crashes that are 100% preventable. And even during this episode of your show, one person will be killed due to an alcohol-related driving incident.

And it's preventable. Now that we have Lyft, we have uber we have taxis we have hey here's an idea stay home you know you can drink all you want you can party and have the time of your life do not get behind the wheel of a car you know uh jen smith joining me chief investigative reporter for dailymail.com it really wouldn't be fair when we're talking about celebrities that get drunk and have crashes or celebrities feeding off their own stardom that believe they can mistreat all of us just regular people. Jen, take a listen to our Cut 19. What did I do, sir? Bro, why are you yelling at my face? Because I have rights. I have rights. I'm an American.

Come on, talk to me. You got me in my hotel. Arrested me in my hotel for doing what, sir? Let's go. Yo, you really got these cuffs on me, have you, bro? I'll fix you. Ma'am, let me out. Listen, can we talk, me and you? No, we can't talk, no. Listen, I'm not the one that's an American.

I paid my taxes. Get these off my arms. So we're not going to have a conversation? No. You're going to put these off my arms or you'll be fucked up. You're hearing Shia, and he's not done yet. Take a listen to our friends at AP. You got a president who don't give a shit about you, and you're stuck in a police force who don't give a shit about you.

So you want to arrest white people who give a f***, who ask for cigarettes? I came up to you trying to be nice, you stupid a**. I came up to you asking for a cigarette, you dumb a**. Why would I ask for a cigarette if I was racist, you stupid a**? I was asking for a cigarette, you said no. I said word. And then you arrested me, you dumb. They got cameras everywhere, you dummy.

I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with you, stupid. I'm from it, you dummy. Okay. Okay. Well, that's a way to get a cop on your side to cuss him out, call him stupid. Jen Smith, what is wrong with Shia LaBeouf? I mean, this is just the classic case of don't you know who I am? And it's a thing we see constantly with celebrities.

Shia LaBeouf, who knows what was going on there? I mean, quite clearly that is a man not in control of his faculty. But it's what we see time and time again. We've heard of Shia LaBeouf, Alec Baldwin, Mel Gibson alone. That's in the last five minutes of this conversation. There are countless examples. And, you know, is it because celebrities get into a different stratosphere of success and adoration and wealth where they think that they're above the law. Potentially, in situations like this one involving Haley Poulos, the crime itself, DUI, is tragically not a rare one. DUIs account for 30% of all vehicle crashes in America.

But the difference here is when a celebrity is involved, they almost seem to think that it can't possibly be their fault. Or that somehow it should be excused. Like in this case, the soap opera star Haley Poulos is instead of being behind bars at a rehab, a so-called rehab in Malibu that can cost her 30 grand. You know, the guys you were just listening to, some of them are technical legal term POCs, pieces of crap. But it's always a shocker when it's somebody you think you really like. Take a listen to our cut six from WSB.

It happened at this Walgreens. According to this police report, Reese Witherspoon's husband was traveling northbound down Peachtree Road when he veered into another lane. This is where he was pulled over. But what happened after that, even with the growing film scene here in Metro Atlanta, has residents around here surprised. According to this Department of Public Safety incident report, actress Reese Witherspoon was a passenger. Her husband, Jim Toth, was the driver and suspected of DUI when pulled over 1240 Friday morning. The report states 42-year-old Toth agreed to a field sobriety test and blew a 1.39 on a breathalyzer. It was Witherspoon's actions, though, during her husband's arrest that

landed her behind bars, too. Oh, yes. And we all love Reese Witherspoon. What got into her? I'd say a couple of glasses of wine. Take a listen. Ma'am, what did I just tell you today? I'd like to know what's going on. She's under arrest. If you don't get that. I'm a U.S. citizen. I'm allowed to stand on American ground and ask you any question I want to ask. You better not arrest me, are you kidding me? I'm an American citizen.

This is beyond, this is beyond. This is harassment, you're not harassing me as an American citizen. I have done nothing against the law. Yes you have, you did, I'm very much- I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law.

I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law.

I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. I have done nothing against the law. It brings to mind a friend of mine. He's dead now, Robert Crispin. Randy Schipani was a rookie cop. We would have coffee when he would show up for grand jury. And I was the APD. He would tell me all about his wife. They just got married and how they were starting a family and how in love he was. he did a routine traffic stop, and you hear Witherspoon complaining, why do I have to get in the car? Why can't I stand here and argue with you? Well, the guy that pulled over, Schapani, grabbed a gun and shot him in the head, dead. He said, license registration, and that's the last thing he ever said. Sure, that happens a lot.

And let me tell you something, you know, the officer's just trying to control the scene. And when people keep coming up and they're intoxicated and they're trying to be aggressive and they're trying to, they're diverting the attention of the officer for his safety. And he's turning his attention to the problem that just got out of the car. I get it's Reese Witherspoon. I get you're a celebrity, but unfortunately, bad things happen to people. And this is why she went to jail. Alcohol just brings out the worst behavior in everybody. And you see it in every single one of these celebrities. They're all intoxicated. That wasn't all of it. Listen to the rest. I'm now being arrested and handcuffed? Yep. You know my name, sir? Don't hate another. You don't need to know my name? Not quite yet. Oh, really? Okay. the arrest.
