And she's like, hey, I'm about to bring this guy back from the bar, right? He has a big wad of money on him and a big chain. Make sure that you're hitting when he comes, like, don't come out, right? Born in Bramford, Ontario, which is like,

it's not too big of a town, but it's always kind of been not that good of a town, you what I mean. It's always been like drugs and crime, like my whole life, that's really all it is. Toronto is like maybe an hour from us. So we get a lot of a lot of this stuff from Toronto, like guys will come to from Toronto to sit in trap houses here. And there's a place called Hamilton, which is like a bigger city, which is also bad. You know what I mean? And it's all like kind of right here. So we kind of get like all the flow of that here, you know, guys come from out of town to do their dirt here, really. So, like I had like a normal childhood for the first like eight to 10 years and then my dad was always I always looked up to my dad right because I didn't really see him he wasn't around a lot we went there once a week for dinner you know to my grandparents house and my dad was always an alcoholic and we didn't know at the time I found out when I was older but he was always smoking rock and doing powder and stuff right but we didn't know that so he was always in and out of jail um like you

constantly but it would be like eight to 16 month bids you know what i mean but it's so it was almost like we would get we would go like two weeks to my grandparents and then he'd be gone for like a year and then we'd see him for like two three weeks and he'd be gone for eight months you know that was like the whole my whole life really and then um i guess it just started to make me like bad like i wanted to be like my dad which sounds like now to me that's super crazy but when i was younger like i remember being at my dad's girlfriends, he was in jail and they were together for a long time. I never called her my stepmom, but like we would go for sleepovers there and stuff. And I remember getting in trouble one time when I was like 10 because I said to her son,

I'm like, so I'm like, I can't wait to go to jail like my dad. Like I remember saying that and her like really yelling at me, right? Like she's like, your dad calls me every day like telling me that he wants to be home type thing, right? And I just, it never clicked as a kid though. I always just thought that jail was cool. I was obsessed with jail movies and just jail. And then when I was 12, I actually, I caught my first assault charge.

And it was on accident, too, like 100% accident. So I was at school and there was this girl I liked, which makes it even more fucked up. So you know how when you're a kid, you like, you'll put your foot on the back of somebody's knee and press it and make them fall. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, I didn't know that this girl had reconstructive surgery on her knee at 12, right? So I did that to her and I rebroke her whole knee just by doing that. And I liked her, you know?

Like I was trying to like flirt with her. I guess you were like 12. So I'm like, I start panicking. Me and a couple other kids pick her up and we bring her to the principal's office. And I'm like telling her how sorry I am. And she's like screaming, crying because it's the knee. You know what I mean? And her mom wanted to press charges.

So I got charged with assault. And they brought me to the holding cells, whatever, for like, hours. I remember being in the holding cells and like crying, looking at the camera, crying, like, I'm sorry, you know? And my mom came and picked me up like eight hours later. And and I got in trouble, obviously. And I explained to my mom, like, it was an accident. Like, I really did not mean to do that. And so my mom was like kind of lenient on me. And then three months later, I'm back at school. And I'll never forget this kid. His name was Spencer Norris. And we're 12, right? And me and a couple guys, we built this big, crazy.

snow fort, right? And this kid started breaking it. So I started punching them in the head. And the teachers came and grabbed us, brought us to the office and his mom pressed charges. Mind you, this is like three months after I just got charged at the same school for breaking a girl's knee. And they don't care about my story, right? They just look at what happened. So I ended up going to open custody for like, I think it was like four months. And then I got into a fight there. So they sent me to secure custody in Hamilton. It was called Arrow. And what's open custody. What does that mean? Open custody was, it's basically like a group home, pretty much. They take you on outings. You can go to the movies. Like, you got to be good. And then you can

build up like your worker could take you to the mall type things like that. And it's like a big house with rooms in it. Right. And, but you got to live there. You got to stay there. You can't just freely. Well, the door's always unlocked. Like tons of guys would just run. Right. But it's up the street from the police station. Like you're getting caught the same day or, you know, a week later. later if that you go to closed custody. And then yeah, you go to closed custody, which is more like guys want to fight there. And it's more like there's more violence. Your kids and the kids that go to secure custody are too bad to be an open custody.

So, you know, it's more like they got something to prove, I guess, you know. So when I went there, the funny thing is they had a four-star chef there because you go to a cafeteria. And the chef was a four-star. He used to make like these Kentucky fried chicken, like big chicken sandwiches and stuff. Like the food was good there. But yeah, the kids, it was a lot crazier, you know, it was always fights. And I remember the first time I got beat up there, these guys, these older guys, because, mind you, I think I was about 13 by the time I went there because I got the charges when

I was 12 and then a couple months later. Yeah, I was about 13 when I went there. So there was a couple older kids, though. And this guy's Scully, right? He was about to turn 18. get sent to Barton Street adult in Hamilton, right? And him and this Raul guy, they told me they're like, hey, McEwen, it's time to put in work, right?

And I'm like, all right, cool, I'll do it, trying to make a name. And I hung out with one guy there, right? This kid's name was James. And they go, I'm like, all right, who? And they're like, James. And I'm like, oh, motherfucker, right? Like, that's my friend. So I'm sitting there thinking, and then I'm like, all right, it's me or him, right?

It's me or him. And you're a kid. So I remember being scared, right? these two older guys and I'm like, all right. So I'm sitting on the couch beside James, right? And I got my fistballed up. And I'm like, yo. And he looks at me and he's like, why you got your fist balled up, bro? And I tried to throw a headbutt, but sitting beside him, right? So it completely like, I think it hit him in the chest or something. And this kid jumped up like lizard quick and just fucking let me up, right? So the staff member there, this guy, Dan, he wanted to be a

cop and he couldn't pass the psyche valve. So they let him, you a CEO at a kid's jail, right? So anyways, this guy, he tackles this James kid. And Dan was a big guy. He was a grown man, right? And he tackles this James kid and James bust his lip open real bad, right? Well, I took credit for that. So even though I got lit up, they thought the head bust his lip open, right? So they're like, all right, cool, you know? And I just ran with it, whatever. And yeah, it was just a bunch of dumb stuff like that, you know? And I finally got out. and I remember going back to Brantford, and I went to go hang out with a couple of my friends.

And then they kind of put the battery in my back because they're all like, they're like, oh, yo, my boy just got out of jail, my boy, you know, and we're kids. So I'm like, yeah, yeah, I just got out of jail. Like, you know, like I'm hard now, whatever. And not realizing how dumb it was, right? So then I just continued to do like bad shit, right? And my mom didn't want me to live there anymore because I was always trying to break her

my stepdad up, which I'm happy I didn't. This is 20, 20 something years later and they're still together, you know? So, but I always, I always tried to break them up and I just made life hard. So she, she sent me to go live with my grandma, which really bugged me because I was like, well, why don't my brother and my sister get to live with you, but I don't, right? So, that screwed with my head. And then my dad had gotten out of jail. And my grandparents, my grandma's sister, Aunt Mark, she had passed away and left them a house. So they gave my dad the house, right? Which was in Eagle Place. And Eagle Place is like, it's always been like the rougher bad part of Brantford, you know?

So obviously with my attitude at the time and then the area, it just clicked up real good. So I go to live with my dad and my mom never wanted that. But at this point, I'm like, well, what say do you have? You already sent me to grandma's like, my grandma, she loved me to death, but she was like a really big enabler for me. right like she no matter what i wanted to do she would let me do it if i wanted money for drugs she given me money like she used to buy me a half ounce of weed a week just to go to school you know what i mean like and thought that she was helping like which i mean like in her own way she was but you see what i'm saying yeah so so i go to live with my dad now and and mind you honest this is still

grade seven right like so i go to live with my dad and uh he broke his hand and this is when i found out that he was like a drug addict and my uncle's all sold drugs and and the house was like it was it was borderline a trap house like it was a couple nights a week it was a trap house and then a night's a week he was trying to be a dad type thing but he was still drinking you know what I mean so right um so I come upstairs the one day because I had he gave me the room in the basement so I come upstairs one day and because I heard him throwing shit around so he's got his hand in a cast right and he's like, hey, don't, come here, come here, pal. And I'm like, all right, what's up?

And he sits me down on the couch and he's like, you're going to do something for me. And I'm like, all right, yeah, cool. Like, what do you want me to do? And he's like, I need you to cook this for me. And I'm like, cook what, you know? And he's like, I'll talk how to do it. You know, he's like, that's powder. You're going to cook this into rock for me.

And I was like, all right. So he put like a little point to like a 20 bag in a spoon, right? Just to see I did whatever. He, like, coached me how to do it, whatever, sprinkled the shit in. He had, like, these little water things that people use when they do needles, really. You ripped the top off and you can just squirt little squirts of water in it. So whatever. So we do everything.

We get it ready. And I cooked it too long. And he got so mad at me, he slapped me, right? But he was right. He was right. Yeah, he was. But I held the flame on it too long. He's telling me to take it off, right?

And I'm still, like, holding the flame. I'm kind of mesmerized by it, like just watching it bubble and stuff. So it turned all gooey, whatever. Like it's still, you can still smoke it when it dry out and whatever, but it turned all like gooey and whatever. He got all mad at me, right? So we did it again, whatever. Finally I got it right.

And then he loads the pipe up and he asked me if I want to hit, right? And I'm like, yeah, like, all right, let's do it. So I smoke rock on my dad, right? And I'm 13, which is crazy. And from that point, I was like, I don't want to go to school. anymore, dad. And he's like, all right. He's like, let me think about it. So like an hour later, he comes back and, uh, him and my uncle Gord, they had a list, right? And it was like patio, uh, patio furniture. You know what I mean? Like, uh, they wanted me to go get like a round glass

table with like three chairs, stuff like that, barbecues, you know? And they're like, well, if you're not going to go to school, you're going to like be working, you know? And at the time, I'm like, okay, I got a job, right? So now. I get a couple of my little friends and like we go around backyard stealing barbecues and patio furniture and all this stuff and I'm thinking I'm cool you know and then it progressed into like my dad had this his best friend his name was Joe my dad's name was Joe too and uh they used to like turn my house into a w-we match like they would both get drunk and all high and just beat the shit out of each other and this was like a daily thing like every night they're like they just get drunk and

just start fighting each other. Are they angry? Or just they just thought it was funny? Yeah. And the crazy thing is, my dad always got beat up too. Like, always. I always watched my dad get beat up by this guy. One time I'm like, I had a friend sleeping over.

And we hear all this banging and I know what it is, but my buddy Sam's like, what's going on? And he's all like kind of scared, right? And I'm like, so we go upstairs and I watch this guy Joe smash a plate over my dad's head, right?

And I'm like, oh, what the fuck? I'm like, dad, are you okay? Like, whatever? And then there was a box of light bulbs sitting beside the TV. And this guy starts grabbing the light bulbs and throwing them at me and my friend, right? Chasing us down the stairs. My friend grabbed this stuff and never came back to my house. ever again. And it just progressed from there. So, so like, my dad, he had this girlfriend. He met her

at the courthouse of all places. And this is when down patches were like, they weren't even a big thing yet. You know, down around, it was just the patches. And this girl was on those and hydromorphs and stuff. And my dad had always been an alcoholic in like powder rock, right? Never, never, never, what are they called? Opiates, right? So she kind of got them into those. And me and her really clicked because at this point, I hadn't talked to my mom at all. Like I really like push my mom away because I just felt like, fuck you.

Like you didn't want me there, but you wanted my brother and my sister. Now I understand it. I was just like a really bad kid and I was hard to deal with. Right. So in my brain, I didn't have a mom, right? Like I cut her off completely. So this girl, me and this girl really like clicked. So I started calling her mom and stuff.

She started calling me her street son. And I still don't know like the effect of like the drugs and how it's like really, really like making them make me do fucked up shit. Right. And she had an apartment herself, which was downtown. And downtown has always been bad. Like that's just if you want anything, you go downtown. You're finding it in like five, ten minutes.

It's not that big of a place. So it's everybody's on, they're out front of this Tim Hortons and out front of this dollar store. And, you know, it's just all right there. And there's one main strip. It's called Market Street. And all the bars are on it, right? Like almost like side by side.

So she lived just around the corner from that on this place called Parkside Drive. And she had, she had an apartment above another house, right? And it was a drug house downstairs. and hers was a drug house upstairs, right? So it was just always a party. And I went to her house for a couple of days. She brought me there, whatever. And I started meeting more people, like older people.

I never hung out with anybody my age. They were always like six, seven years older than me, right? And they're always like, I don't know. They always thought it was cool that I was this young kid that like would, I had no fear. Like I would just do whatever they asked me to do, you know? So they had kept me around for that, whatever. So I leave there the one day.

And I go home and I have this guy Todd with me. And Todd was like 30. And I had just turned 14. And we're walking back to my dad's because I'm going to get my Xbox so this guy can sell it. Right. And there's cops everywhere around my dad's house. They have it surrounded. And we're like, what the fuck?

And so I'm sitting on the curb across the road with this guy. And this guy's like, let's go. Let's go. And I was like, no, like, that's my dad. Like, I want to see what happens. Like what's going on, right? And there was this, it wasn't a screen door. It was like a glass door, you know.

And it could lock. So my dad had that locked. And he opened the front door because the cops were like, I walked up and the cops were like, you know, you got to go. And I was like, that's my dad. I live here. So they're like, Joe, we have your son out here. Come out here.

You don't want your son to be around this, right? So my dad had that glass door locked. And he opened the door, right? And he's like, my son can come in, but you guys can't. Right? And they're like, no. like what's wrong with you and I'm like dad what's going on and my dad's like just let my son in and there's this big thing right and like uh i don't know probably like two hours later they ended up getting my dad right

he he tried to sneak out the back door like an idiot he probably just got real high but like the house was surrounded and uh our backyard linked right up to the field of the school behind us too right so it's fucked up but um he tried to sneak out the back and they got him so in my what were they raiding the house for? I mean, was there something specific? My dad had, my dad beat somebody up downtown and he ran back to the house. And they like, a couple cops were chasing them, right? And he got into the house.

So they just kept calling, like more units just kept showing up because they had no idea if he had guns in the house or whatnot, right? So there was probably like six or seven cop cars and like 13 cops all around the house. Like, it was, they were, my dad has a real long criminal history too, though, right? always in and out of jail. He is no one in town. Like when, when I went to court, well, this is skipping a little bit. But so when I was 18 and I caught my first adult charge, which was stupid because I had community service from a youth charge and I never did the community service. So when I turned 18 and they realized I didn't do the community service, they came and charged me with a breach of

probation, but as an adult now because I'm 18, right? So I was in court and there was this judge, Judge Lenz. And my dad told him one time, Judge Lenz was like, do I look like I fell off the turnup truck? And my dad's like, yeah, you definitely do. So this guy just had a grudge for my dad, right? And I'm standing in court. And I used to go to court with my dad all the time when he went for court. And Judge Lenz was like, you're Joe's son, aren't you?

And I was like, yeah. And he's like, I'm going to give you five days in the Brantford. We called it the Bramford bucket. But he's like, I'm going to give you five days in the Bramford, so you can see where your life's headed. Mind you, I hadn't seen my dad in 18 months at this point, right? So they bring me into the back cells, whatever, waiting to get transferred to court,

and I know my dad's in there. And they're like, do you need PC, da-da-da? And I was like, absolutely not. Like, my dad will beat the shit. So we go, and I'm sitting in the bullpen now, which is the Bramford jail was very small. There was only six ranges, and there was like eight cells on each range, right?

So it was very local. and I'm sitting in the bullpen and there's this other guy in there and I'm like, hey, do you know Joe McCanty? And he's like, yeah, that's my celly. And I was like, no shit. I was like, that's my dad, right? But the CEO only heard me say my dad's name. And my dad lived in that place. So the CEO comes up and he's like, hey, why are you talking about Joe?

And I was like, that's my dad. And he's like, for real? And I was like, yeah. And he's like, hold on. So my dad worked in the kitchen and range three was the kitchen range. So my dad ran the range, though. And he goes to the kitchen, talks to my dad, and he comes back. And I don't know that he's doing that, but he comes back and he goes, hey, your dad wants to know if you have a black eye yet.

What are you talking about a black eye? Just trying to scare me, right? Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, so there's no room on that range. So we're going to put you up on six, which was the native range because Six Nations Reserve is right beside Brantford, like going up one road you get onto the reserve, right? And that range was really crazy. So they're like, we're going to put you on range six.

And I'm like, my heart starts beating. I'm like, oh, no, that's not going to be good. Like, I am 100% clearly Irish and not native. That's not going to be fun. So the guy beside me, he's like, I'll go to six. You can go on range with your dad. And the CEO's like, yeah, you'll do that for him. And he's like, yeah, no problem, right?

So he lets me go to that range. So I'm sitting. I get on the range. my dad's still at work in the kitchen though, right? So I haven't seen him yet and nobody knows that I'm his son or anything. So I get on range and there's this guy, Smiley, this big white guy. And he's like, I go to sit and they make hammocks because the bars were right here. The stools would be right here and then the TVs and the cells would be right there.

So they would take jumpers, you know, knot them up, put them around the bench and then tie it to the bars, right? And then it's a hammock. So I go to sit in one of these hammocks and this guy's like, what are you doing? Like get the fuck off of that. Like you just stepped on the range. Go sit on the stool by the phone. And I was like, all right, bet. So I go on I sit there or whatever and I'm like, damn.

And all of a sudden I feel somebody grab me through the bars, right? Boom. And I'm like, I jump. I'm like, what the fuck? So I turned around and I didn't recognize my dad at first because when he went to jail, he was like probably like 140 pounds, right? And he's like over 200 pounds now working out every day. Like I didn't recognize him at first.

And I'm like, what the fuck? And he's like, it's dad. And I was like, oh shit, right? So they let him in the Sally Port, whatever. And he's like, hey, come here. So he's like, he's like, I have these guys been treating you, right? And I was like, that guy was kind of a dick to me. So my dad's like, hey, listen up.

I'm like, this is my son, right? Like, and then everybody started, buddy comes to me. He's like, here's a brand new jumper. You know, there's another guy that was an artist. He's like, yo, if you want me to draw anything, I'll draw it, whatever. My dad's like, what cell are you in? I'm like, two. He's like, get your shit.

You're coming to my cell, right? So boom, I go in my dad's cell. I was sleeping on the floor because my dad had a cellie too. And it just, it's ironic because the judge tried to like scare me straight, but what he did was give me a reunion with my dad and kind of enable it a little more. Because my first jail experience as an adult was like, it was great.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I was going to say that doesn't sound like you had a bad experience at all. So that kind of backfired a little bit. But when I was going to say, When I got out, my daughter's mom at the time, she had just gotten pregnant. Like when I got out, I got her pregnant, whatever. So I was like, okay, maybe it's time to get a job, right? So I go to a temp agency and I start working on the back of a garbage truck, throwing

garbage bags, right? And I really didn't like it. But whatever, I stuck it out for a little bit. And my grandfather worked at a recycling plant for like 13 years. So he had got me a job there So I left the garbage truck Went to a cycling plant Like that was much better

So I'm working on a line now Sorting garbage You know like throwing cans in here And glass in here And it was terrible But I stuck it out for about a year And the way I got fired Was there was this guy from my city

And he had a name For like doing like selling drugs and stuff Well his mom was the receptionist there So he also got a job there And then just like sold drugs after work and stuff so he had a legit income right and uh me and this guy hit it off he was a little older than me his name is chris and uh i'm there for about a year at this point and they promote me to the line lead so like really all i did was control the speed of the line on a

control box right so they had opened up a afternoon shift and they chose me chris and my friend zack that i've known my whole life who was the the um bobcat driver like he scooped the garbage up and put it in the hopper. So they had chosen us three to go to afternoon shift because we all drove to get like Zach drove me and Chris both to work. So they're like, okay, perfect, you know. And then they brought in temps. So me and Chris were in charge of the temps.

So I'm over on the paper line now and Chris is on the garbage line. And there's this temp that any, and we start talking and he's like, yeah, I sell weed. And I was like, oh, for real, eh? I'm like, yo, I'll take two ounces tomorrow because he's like, it's really good cush, da-da-da-da and he's like oh yeah for real and i was like yeah bring bring two ounces tomorrow and i'll buy them off you right and i think it was like 300 bucks a piece or something like that and uh i go when i tell chris at break i'm like yo this guy's gonna bring me weed tomorrow you want to go in on it with me because at first i had full intentions of paying for it so i'm like you want to

go in on this with me and chris is like yeah let's just take it from him and he's like i'm like what like he's like yeah bro he's like i'll uh i'll get zach to jam the hopper like overfill the hopper, which the hopper is like, he dumps the garbage in outside, then it goes up a conveyor belt and drops onto the line, right? So when the hopper jams, though, the temps aren't allowed to go in it. So me or Chris have to lock it out and then go in it and unjam it, right? So Chris is like, get the weed from him, put it in your locker, right? Or tell him, he's like, tell him he can store it in your locker so he doesn't have it in his

pocket. I'll go into your locker while we're working. I'll make it look like I'm going to the bathroom. I'll take the weed. Then we'll get Zach to jam the hopper. You go in the front. I'll go in the back. We'll meet in the middle of the hopper and split it up.

I was like, all right, cool, right? And then I'm like, what about this kid? He's like, tell him you don't know what happened to it. And I was like, all right? Like, what's he going to do? Really, right? So we do that. But he brings the weed.

I'm like, oh, you can store it in my locker. I have a lock, right? So boom, I put the lock on, but I don't click it in. Right? So Chris goes and does it. Zach Jams the hopper. We go in. We split the weed.

And break comes. So we go to the break room and we go to my locker. And I grab my wallet out of the locker, right? And I make it look like I'm trying to pull money out. And this dude's like, where is it? Where is it? He's freaking out, right? He's like, you don't understand.

He's like, I work for these Asian guys. Both are going to want their money. Da, da, da, da. And we're like, I think I was 19 at this point. This kid was like the same age as me. So I'm sitting there. they're like, I don't know what happened, bro. Like, it was in there.

You've seen me lock it. Like, I don't know. You know, I'm like, I have the money right here. So this kid's like, what the fuck? He's freaking out. He starts crying. And he called his grandma. I kind of felt bad when he started crying.

I'm not going to lie. So he calls his grandma and he leaves. He's like, fuck this. I quit. Like, I leave. He calls the temp agency and tells them that I stole weed from him at work. He ratted himself out to rat meo. Right.

So I go into work the next day and I'm working whatever. And Chris comes up to me and he goes, hey, Monty was our boss. And he goes, hey, I just heard Monty tell my mom because his mom was a receptionist, right? He's like, I just heard Monty tell my mom to pull your file. And I was like, oh shit. Like, oh, no. So we worked till 3.30, right? This motherfucker let me work all day.

Three o'clock comes, right? And he calls me into the office. And he's like, he's pissed. And he's like, I think you know what this is. a belt and I was like I don't know what you're talking about man like what's going on and he's like that temp and I was like uh what the guy that left yesterday I was like he broke down for no reason and just left like he didn't even tell us why he was leaving right and he's like oh sorry I missed the part he Monty called me and told me to come in on days because we were on afternoons when that happened

he called me and told me to come in on days so um because he wouldn't have been there at the afternoon right so he's like so he's like you know what happened last night that did right and I'm like I don't know what you're talking about and he's like listen you can either admit it or I can call the cops and you can come have them like explain it to them and I was like uh all right I was like um I got this guy to bring me weed to work and I took it out of the locker yeah but I was like I panicked on the spot your cops gonna do they're gonna say the same thing say what the fuck about what are you talking about right right just say hey somebody stole something from me and they get arrested right my daughter's mom flipped on me she's like

why didn't you just say no she's like she's like you would have lied to the cops any other time what the fuck is the deal now and i was like i don't know like i think it was the pressure because my grandpa got me this job and he's worked here for like 13 years and and like i just did this you know and and so so i tell him right i'm like whatever and he's like i think you know that you're fired and i was like yeah all right i'll go clean my locker he's like you got five minutes get the fuck out of my building right and i was like fuck so i leave whatever and i'm like like, now I need to find another job. And I'm like, I guess it's back to the temp service. So now I go back to the temp service and I get hired at a place where you move cardboard boxes all day. Right. So I'm like,

this is not it. This is not it. And me and my baby mom had just gotten an apartment because my daughter was about to be born. Right. So we got this little cheap apartment. And now I'm like, well, fuck, I got rent to pay and everything. Like, I really need this job. And then I changed my mind. I'm like, nah, fuck this. I'm going to start,

I'm going to try and sell powder. Fuck it. So I call my dad, right? And I'm like, hey, I need to come over, whatever. I'm like,

I need you to put me in touch with Lee. I used to call him Uncle Lee. He's, he passed it. He died in my arms, actually, but we'll get to that. So,

uh, so Lee puts me on, right? And, uh, and I just start fucking the bag up. Like, I start doing it.

Spending the money. Like, it's just not good. So me and my daughter's mom have to move back into my grandma's house. Like, it was not good at all. So eventually me and her, we break up. And I just, I get with my son's mom. And I start doing like real bad at this point.

Like I was introduced to ice this point. So once I did ice first time, I thought that I fell in love with it. Like there was nothing else in the world that mattered. And I got a rush from like, robbing people and doing all this type of shit, right? Like being in confrontations, like I loved it. So I started selling ice. This guy, Ben, right?

And this is right out, like my daughter and her mom, they got their own apartment now. Like, she left. She ended up, she's with, this guy was my best friend for seven years. And then now they have a kid together. So my daughter's godfather turned into her stepfather. So that really fucking bugged my brain out too. And I used to get high.

and like message this guy, all these threats and stuff. And like, oh, man, the stuff I regret, you know, and whatever. But so my grandma, she had this mud room in the back. It was like a sunroom, you know, so it was built onto the back of her house. And my grandma's a baker. So it used to be like a baking station kind of. Well, she let me move in there. So all it would fit was a futon, a dresser.

The washer and dryer were still in the corner. The laundry sink was over there and like a table, you know. so I started selling drugs out of there. Like, yeah. So I started selling meth and I got robbed there. The one day the door got kicked in. And so I'm sitting there and it had a screen door and a wooden door. And I always would sit with a wooden door open but the screen door locked, right?

So this time I didn't have it locked. And it was just like a tin screen door, right? So I'm sitting there and I'm all high, right? tweaking out. And I don't even hear these two native kids, Byron and, and I can't remember any other kid's name, but they're twins, right? So I had just bought in a 40 cow. And it was sitting on the table and I'm sitting there in the chair and I have the doors behind me and I'm sitting there like this, right? Just all tweaked out. And all of a sudden I hear this big boom, right? And I'm like, what the fuck? And I turn around and they're coming through and they both have machetes

in their hands, right? So I'm like, oh shit. And my gun was sitting. right there on the like I had a dresser that I used as like a table with the laptop and everything on it and the gun was sitting right there. So they picked the gun up, you know, they just kind of hold it on me. They open my drawer. They take all my stuff and they leave, right? And I'm like, oh, fuck. You know who they are? Yeah. These are guys you were selling to? Yeah, yeah. So they're like these two, well, the one kid's sober now. We ended up like making it right. I ran into them again, I robbed them. And then it was just, there was, Bramford's so small that it's kind of like jail.

Like, no matter where you go, you're going to run into somebody if there's problems. You know what I mean? So, um, so they take all my stuff. I can't re up. So, so now I call this guy that my buddy Ben introduced me to. His name was Hollywood, right? And he ends up being my plug. He comes over and he spots me like an ounce of dope.

And I'm trying to get a gun from him again. But he gives me this extendo stick, this baton, right? So, so I started working for this guy and, uh, I call my dad the one day and I'm like, hey, like, I need you to bring me to some spots because my dad was in the streets like smoking rock and selling and with my uncle. So like, he knew all the different dope houses, right? Because he's so much older. So I'm like, hey, I need you to bring me to a couple spots. I need to boost my clientele, basically, right? So he brings me to this, this house, which is like four blocks away from my grandmas. It was so close. So I ended up switching back and forth. I'd be at my grandma's. I'd be at my

grandma's I be at this house be at my grandma's be at this house so he brings me there and uh he tells me hey this is sue and this is joe they're our second cousins and i was like oh no shit and she ran it she ran like a big rock house like so i'm like okay come to find out we were never actually related so anyways they end up liking me because like my dad was likable you know like everybody that did drugs they liked him you know he he he didn't he would rip people off but he would do it behind the scenes. He would set it up. And so people liked them. They didn't know that he was really behind a lot of stuff. Right. So anyways, they're all like, oh, this is Joe's son. This is Joe's son. So they like me. And I start selling out of that house. And me and Sue become really tight. And she

keeps getting robbed, right? Like people, she'll be up for days, fall asleep, wake up and her whole re-ups gone. All her money's gone. Everything. Right. So I was doing ice time. And I'm staying up for like, the longest I ever made it was 21 days. And I hallucinated. did somebody hop over my fence, come to my backyard with guns, woke my uncle up everything, and he's like, there's nobody there, go the fuck to sleep. So I'd be up for days. So she's like, hey, this will work out perfect. You sell your ice.

Also, I'm like, rock. You make sure nobody robs me and you ain't got to pay no rent or nothing. And I was like, deal, right? So I started living with her, and I get this little two shot 22. It was like a little derringer, but it was a 22, right? and now I think I'm king shit. That thing made me feel so big even though like it was the dumbest thing ever. So there's these two people that live upstairs, right?

Kurt and Tara. And they were our city like Bramford was run by the Iraqis. I'm pretty sure they were both dead. I know one just died and the other one I heard got beat to death in jail. But they found like they found like six bodies on their property. Like they're, you can Google them. jazz and style but they were like really running our city they were getting like bricks and bricks up down right and they would give it to you and like you better have the money but they'll give it to

anybody you know and uh i didn't know that kurt worked for them so i come in the house the one day and i'm like because my cousin was getting mad she's like this is not a down house like this is like it's so much better but she's like this is not a down it's rock only like you're the exception for like whatever this is a rock house that's what she kept stressing right so um i come in the one day and they lived upstairs so i'm at the bottom of the stairs and i'm like yo kurt so he comes to the stairs and i i point the gun at him right and i'm like oh get the fuck out right and like this is this is my house now and he's like you don't know what you're doing and i was like get the fuck out so he leaves whatever uh this girl jacky she she was like my my cousin's like best customer right

So she comes over the one day and she has this guy with her. This guy's name's Derek, right? And down a lot of money. Like he was into real estate, but then he got into drugs real bad, right? So he had sold like three or four houses at the time. So he had a lot of money. So he starts buying powder. My cousin.

Well, they can't get a hold of my cousin the one day. And I'm not my grandmas. So Jackie messages me. And I was like, I got meth and MDMA right now. And she's like, well, so Paris is like, maybe 30 minutes outside of Brantford, right? It's this little like country town. Well, Derek had two new build houses in a in a cul-de-sac there side by side. So she's like, we'll pay for your cab right now, come to Paris. And I was like, okay, deal. So I come out there and I walk in this guy's house

and this is when I like really believe that he had money. His entire like downstairs room was a home gym, like bench press, a rack of dumbbells, tread meals. There's like a big like, the machine with the cables, right? And I was like, okay, this guy has money, right? So Jackie's like, show him some of your music. Because, like, I used to rap, right? Like, and I never thought that I would be famous like all these other guys. I used to make music for myself, right?

So anyway, she's like, show him your music. Show him your music. So I play him a couple songs. And in hindsight, it was definitely just the drugs. But he's like, oh, you're so good kid. Like, da-da-da. So I get his number. Well, I kind of cut Sue out because.

now I got him hooked on meth. So he starts messaging me all the time. So I'm coming out there. One day, we're in the kitchen. We're drinking. They had a water bottle of GHB, right? And Jackie drinks two caps to this GHB, but me and Derek were so high on ice. It didn't hit us. So we both drank a cap, but she passed out like maybe 20 minutes later. And me and me and Derek are just in the kitchen chilling and hi he he gives me a bottle of ace of spades and and i'm like for real this is like a three hundred dollar bottle right and he's like this is yours like i really like you kid da da right so we're chilling and he goes you want to see something and i'm like what and he's like you got to come you got to come with me and i was like all right so behind his house there's like a trail and it's all like forest

and then a cemetery right so he's like you got to come with me though and i'm like all right so he's like he's like leave the gun here because I still had that gun right so I leave the gun in this house and I'm like my heart's beat and I'm like what's about to happen right so we walk up the trail and it gets real dark right it's like pitch black turns the the flashlight off and and we stop right before the cemetery and it's like all forest and he's like you got to walk in here with me he's like grab my hand and just follow me and I was like what the fuck is happening right now but I'm like all right let's go I'm scared as fuck I'm waiting at any minute we're walking through this forest and it's pitch black man like i'm just holding his hand and at any minute i'm like i'm about to get like killed

or tied up or something like that's what i'm thinking right he's like stop we stop he digs this up we go back to his house right and i'm like the whole time i'm like what the fuck is that we walk in his house it's a three quarters of a brick of down so it's like 750 grams of down and uh he's like you think you can do something with this and i was like what and he's like here i'm going to give you a little bit and see if you can do something with it. So he gives me like two ounces of it, right? I leave the next morning, like when we're done partying. And I go to this Hollywood guy that I was working for at the time.

And I'm like, yo, look what I got, bro. Like, I just found a plug, bro. And he's like, what? I was like, bro, this guy that buys powder off of my cousin started buying ice. Me, he has a f-down. But he doesn't, like, he does the f-down. Not really, you know what I mean? Like, that's the first guy I ever seen sniff a line of down.

And so he knew this guy, whatever, he knew these two twins that they went to jail in my city, but I think they're out now. But they were like super big down. They were like right beside the Iraqis, right? And he ended up getting bricks off of them. So he couldn't sell it though, right? So he starts going to me. I give it to this guy I'm working for. This guy buys it off me right away.

He's like, bro, that shit is so good. So now I start moving. Like I'm not even really going. and selling it house to house or anything. I'm just going to my guy, this Derek guy, and bringing it back to Hollywood or bringing it back to my uncle Lee, right? And they're just taking it. So this guy's loving me, right? But I had started getting him like more and more into ice. I was getting more and more into men. But the way it, the way meth did to me is like, it made me like want to party or be aggressive and want to like get into confrontation. This guy

started seeing drones following us everywhere, getting paranoid as fuck. Like this one time, he locked me in the house for two days with him. Because if I tried to leave, so he's sitting there with a gun, right? And he's like, did the drones follow you? I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, bro, the cops are watching me. He's like, there's drones everywhere I go, bro. All the curtains are closed, everything, right?

He's like peeking out the window. He's like, look at the drone's right there. The drone's right there. And I'm like, bro, you're tweaking. He's like, no. He's like, you cannot open that door because the drones will. see inside my house. So for two days, bro, this guy's tweaking. I'm just, I'm just giving him more he's throwing me more money. I'm giving him more. But I had to like sit on his couch for like two days,

man. Because if I opened the door or open the window, the drones were going to see in. Like it was he, I completely messed this guy's brain up. Like the last time I ever talked to him, he's living in the basement at his parents. And like when I met him, he had like three, four houses, bro. Like it was, I felt bad for that one. But, uh, so. I leave this guy and I link up with my older brother, right, who he's like been in the streets his entire life. So it just always been a junkie though. Like never, he could never come up off more than like three, four hundred bucks, you know.

So like it's because he's got that bad of a habit. Yeah. Like it's just no matter what he does, he'll self sabotage himself. Right. He was just super into down. He was into needles, you know, like, but he was really, everybody knew him. It was kind of the same way as my dad got me into these different. houses. My brother did the same thing, right? He brought me around different people, but more our age, right?

So he opened up the scene for me, kind of. So my grandmother had sold her house because, like, I was just too much. And I feel terrible about this, but I'm the reason that they sold their house and she's admitted it. Like, it was just too much stuff, you know, fights always in the back. People always come and trying to rob the house, just stuff like that, you know, because they knew I always had stuff there. So she had sold her house. And I knew two months in advance. I had two months. But I was so on the drugs that like I didn't really think about tomorrow.

I was in today. Right. So that day finally came. And she's like, you got to get all your stuff out of here. Like, you know, like I'd slowly started bringing stuff out. And that Derek guy that I knew, like he got me a storage locker. And like I'd start putting stuff in there. But it still didn't sink in my brain that like I was about to be homeless.

Right. So the day came and she sold her house and I was like, oh shit. So I'm like just walking around downtown and I'm like, I have nowhere to go. Like this is, this is crazy. So I call my dad and I explained to him what happens. So he got me a hotel room, right? Because I was just doing a lot of drugs at this point. I wasn't really selling them.

And even though I was doing that for Derek, it was like I would bring it from Derek to my uncle or to Hollywood. But the money would go back to Derek. and he would piece me off like two, 300 bucks really, you know what I mean? I'd have a couple grand. So I was spending my money more than I didn't save no money, right? And so now I'm homeless and I'm like, oh shit. So I call my dad, we get a hotel room. And I'm there for a couple days.

And this Austin kid comes by and he has a bread at M9. And I'm like, oh, let me get that off you. And he's like, 400 bucks. And I was like, bro, give me it and I'll get you the money with it, you know? So he's like, all right, I don't know you're good for it. It gives it to me. I call this Trent kid. And I had known Trent from my cousin's crack house, right?

And I call him and I'm like, hey, I need a Cuban, which is seven grams of, of powder. So I'm like, hey, I need a Cuban. So he's like, all right, he comes over. Well, I rob him in the hotel room, right? He's like, yo, for real. He's like, yo, I'm calling your dad. Like, I'm telling your dad that you did this.

I'm like, okay, cool, whatever. So my dad calls me. He's like, hey, did you just fucking rob Trent? Like, that's one of my guys, you know what I mean? Like one of the guys that my dad buys stuff from and they were going to, I'm like, you what that, fuck you too. Right? So, well, I was just on some bullshit. So, well, my piece Austin off, I pay him for the gun, right? Well, my brother brings over this girl, Vanessa. And she's this Brazilian girl, right? And she was a prostitute. But I didn't know at first. So I, like,

kind of start flirting with her and, like, we do our thing, you know? And then she's like, she just doesn't leave the hotel room. And like, three days go by. And she's like, hey, like, I need to work. And I was like, oh, all right, what do you do? Right? And she's, like, well, like, can I use the room? And I was like, use the room because like, I'm thinking this about to be my girlfriend, right? So what do you mean? Use the room. And she's like, well, like, I have a couple in calls, right? And I was like, oh shit, you sell your pussy. And she's like, she's like, I hope that's not a problem. And I was like, uh, I mean, I don't know how I feel about that, right? And she's like, well, think about it this way. She's like, I'll get money off

this. You're getting money how you're getting money. We'll put it together and we'll be good. right? And I was like, bet you can use the room. So the first John comes and I go, she's like, just just hide in the bathroom. So I'm like, all right. So I'm sitting in the bathroom with the gun of my lap and I'm smoking meth. And I'm just listening to this girl that's about to be my girlfriend get piped, right? And I'm like, this is so fucked up. So I think it was like the third call she did, but he gets up and he's like, I need to use the bathroom. Yeah, I was going to say, what if he needs to the bathroom? Yeah, right. So he's like, I need to use the bathroom. And I'm like, oh shit like what am i gonna do like i run i go i go behind the shower and close the curtain right but she jumps off

the bed and she's like no no no you can't the bathroom's broken the bathroom's broken whatever right so the dude's like all right whatever this is fucking weird i'm out of here right so he leaves whatever so um she's whatever a couple days go by and we're chilling and she's like i really need to get back to my apartment and i was like you have an apart i've been paying for a hotel room for like a week at a time and you've got an apartment like what the fuck and she's like yeah I don't really like to do it out of my apartment though. And like, she's like, you can come stay with me. And I was like, all right, word.

But she's like, a couple other people stay with me too, right? And mind you, my brother introduced me to her. So I get there and my brother's staying there. And this guy, James is staying there, right? And it's a two-bedroom apartment. And it's right downtown. So we're all in there now. And it's like, it turned into chaos because I had free range now because I'm dating the girl

whose apartment it is. So I'm running it like, it's like I'm the boss that everybody there. what I mean. And it's my brother also. So, so it just, I don't know, it put a battery in my back and like kind of like made me feel like I was bigger, I guess, right? Just made me want to go harder. So she had a lot of traffic through there, though. So I started selling a lot of powder there. And like, like I'm selling like a half, I guess not a lot of powder. I'm selling like a half ounce a day, you know? So I'm making like $1,100 a day there. And then she's doing her thing. And she's charging like $200 a call, doing three, four calls a day, right? Like,

So we're making a decent amount of money. And she calls me the one day, right? Or text me anyways. And she's like, hey, I'm about to bring this guy back from the bar, right? She's like, he has a big wad of money on him and a big chain. And I was like, oh, yeah. I took that as I thought, doesn't that sound like she wants, she's trying to set him up. Yeah.

Why tell me that, right? Yeah. So she's like, she's like, make sure that like you're hidden when he comes, like don't come out, right? So I'm like, okay, she want me to rob him. I'm like, we use the one bedroom. So my brother slept on the couch and this James guy slept on the other little couch. So we had our bedroom.

And then the second bedroom was like her walking closet basically. I had like these racks that you build just full of clothes, right? So I go in there and I'm sitting in there behind this rack of clothes and I'm texting my brother, right? And I'm like, oh, I need you to come here right now. Like come through the window, right? So because it was a ground floor apartment. So the back window, it was like a giant window.

plus it had this thing, it had one of those storm gates on it. You could pull it down over the window, which that was dope. So we kind of used that as a door instead of going to the front secure entrance, right? Because it was like an apartment. So I tell my brother coming through the window. So my brother comes in and he brings some girl with him too. Never forget that. My brother was always dumb like that.

Like we're going to, we're going to rob somebody and you bring a random girl that you're with. You know what I mean? Like it just. So anyways, so my brother comes in and we shot all the, they. they had they had Vanessa had come in with this guy and I didn't I never seen them once though right and they're in the bedroom whatever so we show we shut off all the lights I locked the door you know I pull that storm thing down over the window like this guy ain't getting out right mind you I hadn't seen him yet so I had this I had this imitation gun I didn't have the

little 22 anymore right I had this fake gun and uh my brother had a knife and we go and I go to kick the bedroom door actually at first I tried to open it because I thought She wanted us to rob him, so I thought the door would be unlocked, right? So I go to open it. So that kind of tipped this guy off, right? Because you hear it, the door, somebody trying to open it, whatever. So I go to kick the door open, right? And the door doesn't kick open on the first kick.

So I'm like, fuck. So my brother kicks the door open, right? And this guy is already like half up, pants almost on, you know? This guy was like six foot four, just this giant Jamaican guy. Because the farmers come into town to, like, they come to, to around here to the farm areas to work, right? And they'll come from Jamaica and stuff like, and then they always come into town on payday, right?

Partying and buy groceries, whatever. So this guy, he was fucking massive, bro. I point the gun at him, right? Mind you, it's not a real gun. This guy doesn't give a fuck. He football bulldozes me right, like right through me, bro. puts me, so the wall, like the hallways like real small, right, narrow. So this guy hit me so hard, bro.

I went through the fucking drywall. Like, boom, I hit the wall, put a big crater in the drywall. I dropped the little fake gun, right? This guy picks it. My brother doesn't even try to help me. He runs into the room to get this guy's sidebag, right? Now Vanessa's freaking out on us too. She's like, what the fuck, right?

This guy picks the gun up. No hesitation at all, bro. If it was real, I'd be dead. No hesitation at all. Click, click, click, click. I'm like, what the fuck, right? Now this guy's screaming, though. He's like, call the police, call the police.

called a police, I can barely speak English, right? He runs to the front door. It's locked, though. So he goes to just open it and it doesn't open. Well, Vanessa's right behind him. This guy grabs Vanessa in a headlock, puts the fake gun to her head and backs into their closet, the hallway closet. So now I'm like, oh, fuck, what am I going to do, right?

I pick up the knife. I look over, my brother's going to fucking cut out the window. He has the sidebag and he's going to leave with this girl. I'm like, yo, you get the fuck back here. I'm like, you, bro. What the fuck? He's got my girlfriend. Like, you know, so this guy's like got her in a headlock.

She's like, he's choking me type thing. So my brother like runs up like he's going to punch him. So the guy turns to him and I popped him in the shoulder, right? Boom. He lets go of Vanessa. I'm like, okay, now we can cut. Fuck this. So we cut out the window, right?

We're running. We get a couple blocks away, right? I ditch my sweater or whatever. Well, I'm like, yo, what we get, bro? What we get? He's like, opens the thing. He's like, there's $120 in the side. bro. I'm like, no, you're lying. He's like, yeah, I'm so mad. I grabbed this guy's passport,

rip it, throw it in a fucking sewer. I'm like, fuck, right? I'm like, well, at least we got the chain, right? So I go to get on my phone. I'm like, yo, where the fuck's my phone, bro? What the fuck? So I'm like, yo, I'm tripping. I'm like, oh shit, I knew my buddy JJ just lived a couple blocks away and I knew he had an iPad so I could go and find my iPhone, right? So my brother's like, I'm going to cut the crashes and get this chain checked out, right? And I was like, All right, cool. I meet you there. So I go to my buddy JJ's.

I knock on his door. I tell them what happened, right? He's like, yeah, get the fuck in here, right? I check my thing. Mind you, like, probably like half an hour, 45 minutes has gone by. My phone is going up the fucking street towards the police station. I'm like, oh, no. So I hit erase all, right?

Because you can erase the iPhone from find my I clap or from find my iPhone. Right? So I hit erase all. Boom. I'm tripping. I'm like, fuck. So now I call my buddy Ben. I'm like, yo, listen, I need you to do me a big favor.

I need you to go walk by my apartment. And like, if there's no cops there, I need you to go up and see what's up, right? So Ben goes by the apartment, calls you back. He's like, bro, there's like the crime scene van is there, bro. Like, I'm like, I'm like, did I kill this guy? Like, oh, no, right? It's robbery. And you stabbed him.

Right? So I'm like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. So a couple hours go by, I met JJ's. I go over to my friend Anne's who she's like became like my best friend right so I go over to her house and I'm like hey like did Andrew tell you what happened she's like Vanessa's been calling my phone da-da-da-da I'm like oh shit let me call her right so I call Vanessa I'm like hey like what the fuck and she's like what the fuck yourself like what are you doing right she's like you guys didn't even get the money it was in his pants and I was like oh no this guy had a couple

grand in his pants right and my brother just grabbed the side bag in the chain and she's She's like, but what the fuck? Like, you weren't even supposed to do that. And I was like, yeah, I thought that you wanted me. Like, why would you tell me he had a big chain and money then, you know? And she's like, I was just letting you know. And I was like, okay, so what's up with the cops? And she's like, well, they have no idea who it was.

Like, you know what I mean? And I was like, yeah, but they got my phone. And she's like, I know. She's like, you dropped it. They picked it up. And she's like, you're dumbass. Your background is me and you on the background. So they knew I had something to do with it, but they can't prove it.

Right. So they end up, like, the cops left and stuff. whatever, like, I never got charged for it or anything, you know, like, thank fuck, but hopefully the statute is up on that. But, uh, but no, I, I don't even think the guys from Canada or like, I don't know, you never press charges anyways, but that was just like, I don't know, that really got me into, like, I felt big off of that for some reason because even though we fucked up and it was dumb as shit, we never got no money or nothing.

Like, I was like, all right. At least I know that like I can handle myself in a situation. Like I'm not going to bitch you out like my brother. You know what I mean? And I called my uncle Lee. And I didn't know how big of a drug dealer he was at this time. Right. So I call him and I'm like, hey, can I come stay with you?

Like I just fucked up at Vanessa's da da da da. And he just lived a couple blocks away too. Like this is all like downtown Bramfordish, you know. So I go and stay with my uncle and he's like, this is perfect anyways because he's like, people keep stealing stuff from my house. Like every time I go to work because my uncle worked at a galvan house. plant for a while, right? So like they galvanized metal.

So every time he went to work, people would be breaking into the house and stuff like that. Like he had a lot of stuff, right? If it was brand new and you came to him, it doesn't matter what it is. He's going to take it and give you something for it, you know? So I move in with him and he has like three different shotguns, right? And he's like, pick one. And I was like, yeah, for real? And I was like, yeah.

So I can send you pictures of like the police thing, you know, when the picture they put up from the arrest and stuff and it's like of all my guns that they found and uh so i picked this shotgun and it's a uh uh remington sportsman semi automatic right so and it's nice i had like uh engraving of like duck pond and like a dog getting a duck on the lower receiver and uh so i'm like okay so i cut this thing down right and now this thing's with me constantly 24 seven this thing's always with me so my uncle's like here you're gonna work for me too and he gives me like a half ounce of meth, right? And he's like, but don't fuck this up, right? And so boom, I start selling for him and stuff. And one day, he's like, I got to go meet my plug, come for a ride with me. So we go

to Hamilton and we meet his plug. And his plug was working with guys from the cartel, right? Well, that's what he told us anyways. I never met no guys like that or anything. But like, this guy, he gave my uncle two bricks, like two keys of meth, right? Two thousand grams. And I was like, oh shit, like you're actually like pushing weight, you know? Like, I, I didn't. realize that and I was like, well, yo, I know this guy who can get like a lot of down. I was like, do you want to get into that? And he's like, yeah, let's do it. And this is, I regret it because this is the downfall of everything. So I link my uncle and Derek up. And Derek didn't like my uncle at all because my uncle could see through Derek's bullshit because I had him all fucked up from

the mess. But when he was like normal, you know, he kind of used me like an errand boy kind of. But in a way that he manipulated me to it, you know what I mean? Like I didn't really catch on. because he'd be giving me money or he'd give me a brand new shoes i'd show up he'd give me like a big speaker that i can plug a microphone into because i like i said i was rapping at the time he was just like buy me with like ways like that right and uh my uncle seen through it and derrick knew that so they didn't really like each other so i just started getting it off of them and bringing it to my uncle right well i never thought my uncle would ever do it right my uncle did the meth but not like a lot he just kind of did it to stay up and go to work whatever well my uncle quit his

job and he was lying to me the whole time though because i'm like bro you're really not doing down you and he's like no no and like they would go downstairs and do it well he was dating this girl and and i always tried it like i always told him like yo it's fucked up bro you're 46 and she's 19 bro like i know that it's legal but that's fucked up bro like you know i always told him and i'm like yo she's gonna like she's stealing from you she's whatever and like he put so much trust in her and uh come to find out like she was the downfall so um one of morning, I had the upstairs on my uncle. So one morning he texts me and he's like, hey, come down right now and bring something like me in the gun, right? So I grabbed that shotgun

and I had put slugs in it. And I come down and there's these crackheads there, Brandy and Buckshot, right? That was, dude's name was Buckshot and her name's Brandy. And they were like boosters too, right? So they would always, they would steal like thousands of dollars worth of like, they go to any store, you know? They'd get like sound bars and subs or like brand new clothes, whatever, right? Like, they're groceries and shit. And they would always bring it to my uncle. Well, my uncle had spotted them like $800 worth of powder, right? And they were arguing with them trying to say that they paid them and he ripped them off and all that. And Brandy had brought her brother with her. And her brother's a giant native guy, right? Like, he was massive and just

fat, but still massive, you know? And when she brought her brother, like, I've seen it enough at other houses. Like, when she brought her brother, they're either trying to rob you or like, it's going to be a confrontation you know and my uncle knew that too so that's why he told me to bring the thing down so i come down right and uh i'm like it's a it's a semi automatic so you can't cock it or anything so i made sure that i had a shell ready to push in so they could hear the sound right so i come down and i walk through the kitchen and i and i load a shell in and they kind of look at me right and i had been on some bullshit in the city at this point like robbing people pistol whipping people you know and just like tons of shit they knew that like i wasn't fucking around right so anyways so i do that

and and the whole tone kind of changes right and she's like i'll be back with your money later da da da she tells her brother to leave like you know and i'm like what the fuck so my uncle's sitting at the table though and he has tin foil with burnt down on it because he had just gotten spun out at this point so he forgot to hide it when i came down right and i'm like yo what the fuck is that And he's like, oh, I just tried it. Da, da, da, da, right? So I'm mad. So I set my shotgun down.

And it's, it's at the bottom of the stairs, kind of beside the door, right? And I'm like, fuck you, right? And I go upstairs and maybe an hour or two goes by. And my buddy Nathan comes over. He wanted some shit from me. So I come downstairs and I'm like, hey, I'm like, oh, Shana, where's Lee? And she's like, oh, he's in the bathroom. I think he's jerking off.

And I was like, what? that's the weirdest thing ever so so i go knock on the door right he's not answering me not answering me i'm like what the fuck right so i go to bust the door open the bathroom's really small my uncle was fat right so he's when i i get the door open a little bit but he's blocking it right so he's sitting on the toilet butt naked slumped over with his head on the wall like fucking purple bro and uh i'm like what the fuck i'm trying to get the door open i can't get the door open so i'm freaking out I'm telling the girl that was upstairs with me. I'm like, call the ambulance, call the ambulance, right?

So I run into his room and I had given him this hatchet, right? So I'm holding the bathroom door and I'm like holding my weight backwards so the door's not smashing into him. And mind you, I'm all fucked up on drugs, right? And I'm and I hacked through the door, right? And I ripped the top off of the bathroom door and I get in there and I'm like, oh, bring me Narcan, bring me Narcan, right? So all he had was one nose spray Narcan in the house, right? I never used Narcan at this point. And I fucking, I didn't know how to use it.

So I thought I had to prime it. And I shot it off. Boom, not in his nose. Because I thought I had to prime it, right? So I'm like, fuck. I'm like, yo, give me more an arcand. She's like, that's all that's there. That's all that's there.

I'm like, yo, call it amos. So like, he's in my arms, right? And he's like purple. And he died in my arms, right? And it's kind of my fault. It's like I brought the down around. I fucked the, you know, it's kind of my fault. So my back.

So anyways, so the ambulance comes, right? And I had forgot to hide that shotgun, right? I wasn't thinking about it because it was still at the bottom of the stairs, right? Yeah, I have a question for you. Like, I thought like there were no guns or it's illegal to have guns in Canada, but there's apparently a lot of guns. Your long guns are legal. guns are illegal and automatics but you like for hunting you know long guns like rifles shotguns those are legal but uh you got to have a license as well obviously right yeah but you've

still had several you've still mentioned several oh they're so easy to get bro there's oh okay yeah it's not hard to get at all um so upstairs on my bed i i literally a couple nights before this this guy i call him google because anytime you ask him a question he knows it right so we called him google um he had come over to my house and he had this big tote, like a laundry tote, and it was full of boxes of bullets. And then there was a 222 rifle. Not everybody thinks I'm talking about a little 22.

It's a hunting rifle. It's basically for like gophers, right? It's called a 222. It's one step below a 223, right? Yeah. He's like, give me 300 bucks you can have it all. And I was like, what? So I had 2,200 bullets in this thing, like different types of bullets.

And there was like probably 18 different random clips for guns in the in the in the longitote and then there was the 222 right and uh my uncle he had always because i loved guns so he he all the the two guns he had he had let me keep upstairs in my room as well so i had this 22 itica lever action single shot it was smaller than a red rider b b b b gun by like this much and just naturally it's like a trainer trainer rifle for kids you know what i mean so uh so i had that on my bed i had the 222 on my bed uh my other shes my other shes shotgun was at the bottom of the stairs and then there was a 12-gauge break barrel cooey also sitting on my bed right because it's like so fucked how it happened i don't know why i had them all out and then i had the

total bullet sitting beside my bed too because i was just like playing with them all night you know what you mean and uh so when the ambulance had come in um they noticed the shotgun at the bottom of the stairs right and they're like oh okay i mean i guess that's that's not completely illegal but it's still illegal to not have it stored in a locked box. So that's an automatic call the cops right there. Plus, they're there for an overdose. Well, I also didn't shut the living room TV off, which was like, it was like a 55 inch TV. And half of it was the cameras that point into the rooms in the house. And the other half was the cameras that were around the house. Because my uncle had, there was, there was a, there was a hundred and seventy thousand dollars worth of stolen property

recovered from his house because he would just buy everything from people. The house was packed, right? So they're looking around. There's like brand new boxes of DWalt tools with the banding still around them. You know what I mean? There was a fucking dirt compactor in the living room, like a giant from a construction site, like a giant dirt compactor, like just so much random shit. So the paramedic puts two and two together, right? Cause the cops. That calls them in. So there's a good Samaritan act in Canada. I don't know if there is in the States too, but in Canada, it's called the Good Samaritan Act. If you call for an overdose, no matter what is there, they have to let you go.

They can put a warrant out for you when you leave, but they have to let you go because too many people were not calling paramedics and letting people die because they were scared of what would happen when the police or the paramedics showed up, right? So they passed this law. Makes sense.

Yeah, right? So the cops come and they get our names and whatever and they let us go. Well, I went across the road to this girl I used to sell to. I went across the road and sat at her house so I could see whatever well the girl that I was with that I got to call the ambulance I'm like hey Christina I'm like you should it's been a couple hours you should go over to the house for me and see what's up right like so she goes she never comes back like like an

hour or two later I'm like where the fuck is Christina right I'm like I'm gonna go like check you know I'm like maybe she's in the house stealing shit you know because I'm all freaked out too so I'm walking up my driveway my you couldn't use the front of door in the house. Me and my uncle had drilled a hole through the floor into the floor choice and dropped a piece of rebar in it. So that door is not coming open. You know what I mean? So you had to use the side door, which my bedroom window overlooked. I don't know how many times I hung out that window with a gun when people were at the door. And so I'm walking up to the door, right? And I go to knock on my own fucking door for some reason. And the cop opens it. Boom. He's like,

do you live here? And I was like, yeah? Dumbest thing I ever said. I'm like, You're under arrest for possession of unauthorized firearms. I'm like, I had a second where I could have turned and ran, but I'll tell you one thing. Every time I've been arrested, I don't know why. I've never ran once in my life. It's always, in my head, I'm always like, I guess I'm going to jail now. Like, every time I've been arrested, it's for something I did. Like, I know that I did it.

You know what I mean? So I'm like, whatever, I'll just go to jail for it, you know? So he's arresting me. And my son's mom is pregnant at the time. with my second son, right? So she starts calling and I'm like, oh, fuck. I'm like, can I answer that, please? And he's like, you know what?

You didn't try and run? Like, I seen it in your face. You thought about it. He's like, I'll let you answer it. So he answers it for me, puts it on speaker. I'm like, hey, I'm getting arrested right now. Like, I'm going to jail. She starts freaking out, whatever.

He hangs up. They take me to jail. Well, I'm so scared now because I'm like, not just the guns. I'm like, my uncle has like, I think there was, there was like a nine pack, which is nine ounces of down in the safe. There was like 18 ounces of crystal ice house. And he had like $70,000 cash. So I'm like, oh no. But his girlfriend, what I later found out, the Shauna girl, and it came up in court that this is the third like death that's happened around her. Right. What she did, my uncle didn't do needles. She shot him up with with a hot shot,

which is down the needle. And I and I think what I think anyways is, that he was doing ice like in needles on the low and didn't tell me. So I think that's how she got him to do it. But there was down. She killed him, right? And while I was in the bathroom, he was dying in my arms, she was in the bedroom robbing the safe. So she took everything.

So there was like the only drug charges I got from there was like, I think eight grams of powder I had in my room, you know? And then all the gun charges. So, um, so I'm in court. And I go and I go for, uh, let me see if I can pull this picture. And I go for bail the first time, right? And the judge is like, she sees this picture and she's like, Mr. McEwen, this is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

Your bail is denied in all three treasurerary grounds. You know what that is? No. A danger to the public, a danger to yourself and a danger to the courts. That's the three treasurerary gowns that they base it off of when you go for bail, right? So she denies me on all three. So my long rifle, it has say goodbye written on the side of it. Right.

I don't know why I did that. That's what I had sitting on my bed when they arrested me. So I'm like, I don't know why I wrote say goodbye down the side of it. You know what I mean? But yeah. So she's like, Mr. McHughan, that's so disturbing. Denies my bail. So I wait for six months, right?

Mind you, when they were taking my uncle out on the stretcher, I heard the paramedics say, we got a pulse. So I thought my uncle was still alive, right? So I'm in jail for like a week at this point. I don't know that he had died in my arms at this point yet, right? So I'm in for about a week and I finally get on the phone with my dad. And I'm like, hey, you got to get a hold of Lee.

How's he doing? He's got to get me out of this, right? My dad's like, buddy, Lee died. And I was like, he died on the way to the hospital. So I'm like, fuck. I'm like, so like the last breaths he took were like in my arms. You know what I mean? and and I'm like oh fuck right so I go from my first appearance and my lawyer's like

he's like listen I got your screening and disclosure and they're asking for 10 years and I was like oh fuck my heart start beating right I'm like this is crazy I'm like other than the five days I did I'm like this is the first time I ever been to adult jail you know what I mean and to brantford our brantford jail had closed so I got sent to maplehurst which is in Milton and that's where like all the Toronto guys, all the gang guys go and shit. So, so like now I'm in like big boy jail, you know? And I'm like, what am I going to do? Right. And I'm like, I got to try and get a bail. Go on a run. I'm like in my head, I'm like, I got to go to a different country, you know? Like, I'm like, what am I going to do? My son's, my second son's about to be born. Like, I'm like,

this is a mess, right? Because now I'm like, I'm starting to sober up a little bit, right? So I'm in for about a month and I get a bail hearing and, and, uh, my second bail hearing and they deny me again. So I'm like, oh, fuck. So in, in Canada, every 90 days, you can go for a bail hearing, right? Right. So I wait another 90 days. And like I told you, my grandmother had sold her house, like, like six, seven months prior to this, right? So she agreed to be my surety. And she's, my lawyer's like, how much are you willing to put up? Uh, I got this lawyer. Fuck this guy. His name's Gabriel Grosstein, right? I got him.

He's out of Toronto supposed to be like a top lawyer, right? So the only thing this guy did was get me, he did get me a bail. That's all he did. Other than that, he took 11 grand from me and my grandma and fucked me. So my lawyer asked my grandma, how much money are you willing to put up? My grandma tells him, well, I have 100,000 in the bank right now. So he puts down 100,000. So all you have to do in Canada, though, is prove that you have the income.

And if I fuck up, you only have to pay 10%. So it would be 10 grand that she would have to pay, right? So they won't do it with one charity. So my sister and my son's mom agree to be a surety. So my grandma puts up 99,000 and they both put up 500, right? Well, they give me a house arrest bail. I'm out for about eight hours. I get an ounce of powder.

My buddy comes to me with a Glock 18 and I buy it, right? So yeah, right? I'm out for like eight hours. So now I'm at my baby mom's house and I'm like on house arrest there. She's about to have my second son My first son's there I got a gun I got powder It's like four in the morning

And we're in bed And boom boom boom Somebody's knocking on the door And we're like what the fuck Because we were living in Slovak Which is like the hood of the hood in Brantford You know So it's like not a good building

And I'm like What the fuck? So I grabbed the gun right And me and her walk to the door And I'm like She looks through the people And she's like there's four cops out there And I'm like oh shit right

So when I stick the gun in the closet, right? And, and I open it. And I'm like, hello? I'm like, they're like, Dalton McEwen. And I was like, yeah, like, I'm on house arrest. I'm where I'm supposed. They're like, we're just doing a residence check. And I was like at four in the morning. Like, I have kids here, man. And they're like, we're doing a residence check, you know, be ready. And boom, so close the door. And like, they're basically telling me, like, we're just going to randomly show up here whenever, right? And I'm like, I look at my baby mom. I'm like, sorry. I'm like, I got to go, right?

So the next morning, boom, I get a hotel room. Well, my baby mom is like, she's petty. Like, when she feels hurt, she's going to hurt you 10 times worse. So I'm not telling her where I am, right? And I'm trapping out of this hotel now. A couple of weeks go by and I got people in this hotel room with me every day. And thankfully, she's so petty that she called me and was like, have fun in jail. And I was like, what?

and she's like have fun in jail. And I was like, I hang up. I look at my boy Isaac and I'm like, I got to go. She called the cops. She found out where I am. What she did was because I wouldn't put nothing to my name, right? But I'm dumb and I use my grandma's name. My grandma will do anything for me, right?

So I got her to get the hotel rooms in her name. Well, what my son's mom did was she called every hotel asking if somebody under my grandma's name was staying there. And she found the hotel, right? So she didn't call me first. Like I would have totally went to jail, right? So I cut out. My boy stays there.

He, I go, I start going into like trap houses again now, right? I'm like, fuck it. So my boy calls me and he's like, oh, the cops just left. He's like,

they were definitely here for you. And I was like, oh my God. He's like, there was this girl, Candace. And he's like, Candice radded you out and said that

you were here. And I was like, you fucking bitch. Like I was letting her stay there for free, giving her drugs. Like, you know what I mean? I was like, he's junkies, man.

So, but I'm a junkie at myself at the, at the time too, right? So anyways, fast forward, like, I start staying with this Tasha girl and we're living in this guy Frank's house. And he's like this old guy. He claims to have done 20 years for robbing banks, but I don't know. I used to give him rock to stay there.

And he'd get scared if people would come there on like some bullshit. And like, you know, I don't think he really did 20 years. So anyways, I'm staying there for a while. And I like take this house over. Like this is like my house now. you know that's that's when my face got cut and uh somebody came in the one day and they wanted down and all i had was powder right so so parker decides to rob me so i'm like i'm turning around scaling some stuff up and i turn around and he has this knife out and i'm like yo what the fuck so

so like i kind of back up a little bit right and uh he swipes at me as i'm moving back and he like just caught my face a little bit you know what i mean um so so i'm like what the fuck so he robs me whatever about two days later, the cops show up there, right? But there's a secure entrance in this place, too. It's like a giant house that was turned into a bunch of different apartments. So the very front door locks, right? You got to like one of the tenants have to open it. And then it goes into the apartments, right?

Right. So the cops are out there knocking on the door. And I'm like kind of looking through the window. I'm like, oh, what the fuck? I'm like, yo, there's like six cops out there, right? So this kid I had staying with us, Tristan, he's like, he's like, oh, let me go and talk to them, right? And I was like, all right, cool, right? He's like, I don't have no warrants or nothing.

So boom, so he goes out and he comes back like, I don't know, 10, 15 minutes later. And he's like, they're here for you. And I was like, did you tell him I was here? And he's like, no, bro, like, but they're here for you. And I was like, fuck, I'm like, they're probably one at the back door. I can't check out the back door. There's no window or nothing, right? So I'm like, fuck, they're probably at the back door.

I go and I hide in the coat closet. And I have this brake barrel 20 gauge, right? So I'm sitting there with this break barrel 20 gauge. And in my brain, I'm looking at the 10 years, right? So I'm like, fuck it. I'm like, I'm either shooting myself or shooting the cop. Like, that's what I'm 100% thinking while I'm sitting in this coat closet. I have the hammer cocked, everything.

I'm sitting there like this for a little bit. Swear on my life. Sitting there like this for a little bit. And I'm like, what do I do? What do I do? My plug calls me. My phone starts ringing. I'm like, I answer.

He's like, yo, I'm coming through to bring that. I'm like, oh, don't come. Don't come. Don't come. He's like, why are you whispering? I'm like, brother's cops everywhere. He's like, oh, you need to get out of there and I'll meet up with you later. He's like, go to Rodden Street because that was another house, but he ran it, right?

Well, you guys are fucking brazen. I mean, if I heard the cops are there, I would be like, okay, listen, bro, get out and meet me. I'd be like, yeah, we're done. Right? Never call me again. Yeah. This guy watched my back for like, bro, I don't want to say his name because he's still out here, but he did 12 years for somebody try to rob his friend and he shot the guy, right? So like, he's like a certified guy.

He's like, bro, he's like a midget. I swear to God, not an actual. legit, but he's like five foot three, bro, but his arms are like this fucking big. Like he's just swole, right? This is crazy little fucker. So anyways, I'm in this closet for like a good like hour, right? And Tristan comes and he's like, bro, they're leaving. They're leaving.

And I was like, yeah? So I'm like, go, Frank. I'm like, I'll give you a gram right now. You need to drive me to Rodden Street. He's like, okay, I'm like back the car up to the back door. I'll come down the stairs with a mask on because it, mind you, this was COVID had just hit. right before I got that bail for the house arrest, COVID had just hit. So now you're allowed to walk around with a mask on and it's not weird, right?

Right. So I put a mask on. Frank backs up to the back door. I get in the car. I'm like laying on the back seat, right? He drives me to this house on Rodden Street. I sneak in the house, whatever. Tasha's with me.

She's like, this is a rooming house, right? And everybody in there does drugs. Nobody sells drugs there. Everybody does them, though, right? So she brings me into this room. the biggest room and it's uh you know this guy his name was john wayne i swear to god like couldn't get any more like that's clearly a made-up name but like you really picked john wayne bro like you know but mine was no better my trap name was andy jacobs that's what got me

fucked when i got pulled over but i'm getting to that so so i get in i get in this room and it's uh it's john way and uh and his girl right and uh fuck what's her name i think her name was brittney And it started with a B for sure. And they're like, who the fuck is this? You know? And Tash is like Shorty, like Shorty said he's coming here. He's staying here. Oh, I didn't mean to say his name, but whatever.

So she's like, she's like Shorty said he's coming. It sounds like a nickname anyway. Yeah, it is, right? There's a million shorties. Fuck it. I just, I know he's going to watch this and be like, motherfucker, you know? But so yeah. So she's like, Shorty said that he could stay here.

He needs to lay low. Like, so I'm like, listen, I'm going to trap out of this room. but you're you're going to meet the people in the kitchen for me like nobody can know that i'm here right and they're all like okay cool i'm like you know shorty's gonna pay you so shorty comes through a couple hours later and he's like yo he's like respect for the heads up bro he's like you know how many people wouldn't even answer my call and just let me come there like you know so he's like boom here and he gives me a ball which is uh which is 3.5 grams a powder he's like you don't owe me for that whatever that's just like a little a little gift for that right he's like he's like respect

bro. So he's like, this is your house now. Like run it how you want to run it. Right. And I was like, all right. Respect. So he leaves. And I think it lasted maybe three hours of me not letting people know that I was there. So I'm sitting in there with like bandanas on my face or a mask on my face when people come to the door and like John's being secretive. Eventually, I hear somebody's voice and I'm like, yo, I'm like, that's my dog. So I saw I run out in the kitchen, right? I'm like, yo what's up bro he's he's like yo this is your house now i'm like yo this is my house now right so now everybody in town knows right like it did not last long well my downfall was this this brittany girl that was staying with john she uh my brother was in jail at this time right and there was a point

where i really wanted to try needles right because i was just getting so bad into drugs and i was like i wanted to get higher higher right so i really wanted to try needles but i was scared to do it myself i was scared to hit myself so my brother had put word out that like anybody that hits my brother with a needle, like I'm going to poke. Like that's just what it is. So nobody would do it for me, right? People were scared of my brother for a while before he got two bucketed out. And so this Britney girl, she's like, she's like, you know, your brother's going to kill me if I do that.

And I was like, fuck my brother. What's he going to do, right? I'll protect you. So boom. So she hits me. She gives me my first shot. And sure enough, she shoots me up. And then my dad shows up like 15 minutes later to buy powder me, right?

And my dad's like, what's going on with you? Because I'm like, I'm like up. Like I got all my clothes out of my bag rearranging them. Like I'm super tweaking, right? The gun is like glued to my hand. Like I got this just cut shotgun just in my hand everywhere, pointing at everybody. You know what I mean? It was bad.

So then I went on this crazy bender and I'm like, this is my house, right? Like I don't care what happens. And I come in the one day and my stuff is gone. on, right? Like, I had this little box that had a hinge and a padlock on it, right? Well, somebody had cut the padlock on my box and all my shit was gone. So everybody that was in the house, I brought him down to the basement, right? And I shot around over their head into the basement wall. And I'm like, oh, listen, I'm going up to the bathroom. I'm like, my shit better be back on the table when I get out of the bathroom. Well, I promise the next one's not missing. I'm like, nothing will happen,

no repercussions. I need my shit back, you know? So it's like, I'm not starting from scratch again. And at this point, I had called Shorty like two or three times and been like, you know, I need to spot. And he's like, bro, like you were doing what the fuck, you know? Because the needles were just, they were getting to me, right? I was like tweaking out. And then I leave shit here. I'd give somebody too much or you know what I mean? I'd just do a bunch.

Like it was just, I was getting really bad. So I go up to the bathroom and I come back and my money and half my drugs are back on the table, right? And so I'm like, and I know I told them that there was no repercussions, but I'm like, oh, who was it? And it turned out to be that guy John Wayne, who's who's really. room that like it originally was right so i beat the fuck out of him with the gun boom right and uh i kept him out of his own house and that was a downfall for me because this got called the cops not about that but like he just said that i was staying there right well they're looking for you anyway so that's all he has to say exactly right so i'm sitting in the room the one day and i have this sound bar and it's just

blaring and all of a sudden i see like blue and blue and red lights like through the windows and shit and I'm like, oh no, right? Oh, fuck. They never came to the door, bro. This was the most fucked up thing ever. They sat out front of the house with the lights flashing for like an hour, never came back, right? Or never came to the door. They left. That same night, I'm like, fuck this. I'm getting all my shit out of here. My best friend, Anne, she wasn't like into drugs and stuff, right? Her house was like a clean, if you needed to get away, you would go to her house, you know like just get away from the drug scene and stuff so i call in and i'm like listen i need to live with you for a bit i'm gonna try and clean up whatever right i'm just spinning some bullshit i had

no intention to clean it up but i needed to get out of there right so i'm like i'm bringing all my stuff so i bring two loads of stuff to her house and i'm there and it's like maybe 1 30 in the morning and i'm trying to come down and i don't really smoke weed at this point but i have one of those weed pens right the shatter pens that you just smoke and you could recharge and stuff, you know what I'm talking about? So, so I can't find it. And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, convinced myself that I need that to go to sleep, right? And I'm like, I left it at the trap.

I left it at the trap. And I'm like, it's only like five blocks away. I'm like, I'm going to ride my bike there and go get it. And she's like, don't. Like, that's the just don't. And I was like, Anne, I'll be fine. I'll be right back. She's like, please don't go.

What did you really do with it? Pardon? Where was it? I will tell you because it's. So I'm like, I need this thing. So I have this Canada goose coat, right? And I, so dumb. I cut a slit in this thing so I could put the thought off shotgun in it, right?

And so there's always feathers popping out my coat and shit. So I put the gun in there and I had this big Smith and Weston knife and I put it in my back, right? And this gun I had, I have a picture of it too. It was a, it was a little 22 rifle that had a mini banana clip in it, seven shots. And you had to cock the bull on it. And I cut it down to about this big to the point where when when I was about to before I decided if I was going to go to trial, my lawyer had it sent away to see if it would even fire because it was a rifle and I cut it down to like a fucking handgun size, right? Right. So I have that with me and it's a 22.

So I have my side bag and I have three phones, a hundred extra bullets in the bag and like I think like nine grams a minute. Right. So, because I was waiting to re-up. Shorty wasn't answering me all night. So it's a good thing because I didn't have no powder. So I get on the bike and Tasha's like, all right, I'm coming with you then. So I'm like, all right, cool. So we start riding, right?

And there's a beer store and then a train bridge. And then you would turn right. And at the end of that street, you can see the house that we're going to, right? So we get to the beer store. And as I'm cutting through the parking lot, a fucking cop. drives by. Turns out to be the cop that was, he was driving around that area, right, waiting to see if I showed up. So he drives by, I see him bust the Ui. I'm like, oh, fuck. I'm like, Tash, we got to go. So I start boogie in, right? But I'm on a pedal bike. So he pulls up, like alongside of us,

shines that little light on me. And he's like, hey, I noticed that you don't have a light on your bicycle. And I was like, what? He's like, yeah, it's illegal to ride a bicycle at night without a light on him. And I was like, what the fuck? So I'm sitting there now like, you know, I'm sitting on the seat of the bike and I'm like, oh, fuck. And he's like, what's your name? And I was like, Andy Jacobs. And he's like, okay. So he runs it. He's like, well, he's like, you've never been pulled over, never, ever talk to the cops in your life. Like nothing comes up. It's too clean. You know what I mean? And you can just tell that I'm a drug addict, like at this point. There's no way that I've never had to run in with the cops. That's what he's thinking, right? So,

we go back and forth for a good like 45 minutes and that's one of my charges is uh is uh lying to a peace officer or whatever right and um we go back and forth i keep telling them different names i'm switching names now i'm switching birthdays and then uh two more cop cars pull up right and i'm like oh fuck well this female cop gets out and she goes that's dalton mckewin she goes i bet the forearm tattoo says i'll take the beauty of chaos over ugly perfection and I'm like, oh no, this fucking bitch, right? I'm like, oh, fuck. So they're like, get off the bike, you know, because I've just been sitting there on

the bike the whole time talking to him. He's on the road. So they come up now. They're like, get off the bike, get off the bike. So I get off the bike. I stand up. They arrest me. They grab that.

I had my coat over my side bag, right? So they undo my coat. Haven't found the shotgun yet. They're so dumb. So they, which is in the side of my coat. So they reach in, they pull my side bag out, right? Take it off. they take my phones out they throw it on the ground whatever does my phone not start ringing shorty pops

up on the thing he goes you want to answer that i said i don't know who that is so they uh they find the bullets in my bag right they pulled the little ice they're like oh okay okay we got something they find the bullets in the bag and they go do you have a weapon on you like now they're screaming at me right like you got a weapon on you you got a weapon on you mind you every time i've been arrested with a gun it was the same fucking officer same officer tell me how that that's so fucked you know like the universe just putting some karma on me or something but so they're like do you have a gun do you have a weapon da-da-da-da and i'm like fuck it they're gonna find it right i'm like i'm already like there's a gun in my coat and he's like what because he was just in my coat to get the side back right so he's like what the fuck so he pulls it out right he's like is it loaded is it low it's it low i said yeah and the safety's not on either i don't keep the safety on so now they're like there's one in the head you know like they pull the little clip out they're like the clip's full like what the fuck is wrong with you but what's you need this for, da-da-da, and I was like, I just need it, right? So they're like, you have any more weapons?

I'm like, there's like a 12-inch knife in my back. So they pulled a knife out. They're like, what the fuck, you know? They put me in the cop car. They're like, you're supposed to be on house arrest right now. Like, where are you even going? They're trying to ask me where I'm going. I'm like, oh, I was just going for a bike ride, right?

Even though they know that that's the house, I'm like, oh, I'm just going for a bike ride. So they take me to the police station, whatever. They process me. I get sent back to Maplehurst, right? And so now I'm on range and I'm talking to my lawyer and he's like, you're so fucking dumb kid. He's like, I hope you understand. Like he's like, you're probably looking at like 15, 17 years now.

That's what their first offer is going to be for you. And I was like, fuck, right? He's like, why? Like, why? What's wrong with you? You know, he's like, I'm going to do the best I can. He's like, these first charges, though, I really need to talk to you. He's like, you can.

Like, you can say that your uncle forced you to keep those guns in your room and kept you high on drugs. He's like, I understand you want to honor his memory, da, da, da, but he's like, your name is nowhere on the lease of that house. You were just an occupant in the house. They never seen the guns in your hands. You know, he's like, and you're the one that called 911 for the ambulance, right? Even though it was the girl with me, but whatever. he's like and you're the one that called 911 and uh he's like i really i really think that you should say that he forced you to keep them and i was like all right let me think about it so i'm

talking to a guy on range and i was like bro i don't i really don't want to wrap my uncle out and this guy snaps on me right yeah the same look you just gave he goes he's fucking dead you idiot like what are talking about ratting him out and i was like oh yeah i guess you're right you know like that's he's like what he's like he's like fuck He doesn't give a shit. Exactly. That's what buddy. He's like, he would want you to say this.

I hope you know that. You're fucking dumb, bro. He's like, you're going to go do all that time just to what? Think you're solid? And I was like, for him to think you're solid? Yeah, right? I was like, touche. Tush.

So I call my lawyer back and I tell him, yeah, let's run that. Right? So about five months go by and I have a bail hearing coming up now, right? And he's like, listen. I have the date set for the first charges. They're going to be withdrawn the week before the bail date. And I was like, yeah? And he's like, yeah.

Like, I've talked to the crown. He's agreed to withdraw them. But they're probably going to try and hit you hard on that second gun, though. And I was like, whatever, 17 years, 15 years is fucking whatever. They give me better than that, right? So we go. They withdraw them. Now this is, so the girl that killed my uncle, because remember I told you when the cops

came in. They took everybody's name before they let us leave on the Good Samaritan law, right? So she was put down as my co-accus because she said that she lived there too, right? So we're in the hearing to get my charges withdrawn. And the judge goes, does that, like, does the withdraw also count for Shauna Steyers? And my lawyer goes, absolutely not. So fuck her. She killed my uncle. She got hit with all those. I really don't know how I've tried to find out what happened to her since I got out, but I just don't know, right? So, but I know that her charges never got dropped and fuck her. That's karma for, you know, she is my fault for bringing the fent all around, but she didn't want to hit him with the needle and she robbed the safe. So it's kind

of like a bittersweet thing because if she didn't rob us, I would have got hit with all the drug charges, right? And the cash charges. But if, since she did rob us, like, I'm good, but she also killed my uncle so it's like just like a big fucking you know bittersweet type of deal so anyways they they dropped those the week before my bill my bail hearing my mom has i started talking to my mom the second time that um i went in i called her we started making good right and uh i let her know that like i forgave her for for the way i felt and shit like that right and we started we started um talking and being good and i was like hey mom would you be my surety or would you try for bail?

Because she had always said ever since that first time when she came and picked me up when I was 12, like, this is the only time I'll ever do this. Don't ever call me if you go to jail, you know? So I convinced her that I was like really going to turn my life around, which I mean, when you're in jail and I was only in for like seven months on that second one before I got bail, but I mean that was enough time to get sober, you know what I mean? And in my head, I genuinely believed that when I got out, I was going to do better, right? like um but i wasn't ready apparently so

you think somebody on the outside who who at least has a an understanding of your behavior would say yeah that's not true you may think that right now but you're not going to do that and she was so mad because i really did convince her and like bro i did those uh you know the bible courses that you can do and you get the certificates do you guys have those so i did all of those like you know what i mean like i was really trying to get this bail and uh my mom agreed to be my surety and they had just dropped those other charges so the judge was like you haven't gotten any trouble while you've been inside like I was serving at this point like I became

a server um which means like because so in Maplehurst it's it's for it's provincial but it's maximum security so at best on a good day you can be out for three hours you know what I mean like an hour in the morning an hour at lunch and an hour at night that's at best with no lockdowns so usually you're only out for like they'll let you out in the morning and let you out at the night or like you know what i mean they'll never let you out at all three so when you're a server though you never lock up you're the only two people on range because you got to go hand out the mail you got to hand out the food trays you got to go back sell to sell and you know what i mean like and deal with them like you basically run in the range right so i was a server so that looked good too because it showed that i had good behavior when i was in there

and uh i really i really planned on changing and so my mom We go for the bail hearing and it's COVID, so it's all over phones, right? So the judge is like not, he's like on the fence. And then my mom tells him, she goes, I have security cameras at my house. So even when I'm at work, I can like watch him on my phone. And like if he opens my door, it'll bing off to my phone and stuff. Right. And that's what swayed the judge in the favor of letting me out.

So the thing is, I can't live at my mom's house. Like me and my stepdad butted heads. Like, you know what I mean? like it just would not work. So it was kind of doomed from the start because the plan was my mom was going to be my charity. I was going to get house arrest to her house, but she was going to let me go live at Anne's house, my best friend, on the agreement

of I didn't leave the house. You know what I mean? Right. And she's like, and if you know that you're going to fuck up, you better tell me so I can pull your bail, right? So I'm like, all right, cool.

So they grant my bail, whatever, house arrest to my mom's. I go to my friend to Ann's. I'm living there for two days. days, my brother comes over here. He has a loaded needle. I started doing needles again, right off hot. Boom. I put a gram of ice needle, which is like insane for a shot after seven months. So I put a gram of ice needle. I hit it. I have track marks. I fucking hate them. Every time I look at them. I hit it. And boom, I'm like, you can't breathe. When you do that shot of meth, it takes your breath away. You can't breathe. You're like, and you feel the fire go through your whole shit. And then like you just get like, you know what I mean? and you start like getting jacked up. So I hit it. I'm like, let's go rob somebody.

Like instantly. My brother's like, come on. I'm like, come on yourself. He just gave me a needle. Let's go. Right?

So I call my mom. We go down to Chaz's house. And this girl, I kept in contact with this girl. The whole time I was in the pen, right? Three months before I got out, her house got raided. And she's looking at like fucking eight years right now.

So we go to her house, right? And she sets a lick up for her. us, whatever. And dude comes in, whatever. You know, I come up behind him. I put a knife on his thing. My brother takes a sidebag off, get out the house, whatever. I'm like, I should probably call my mom and tell her to pull my bail. It's been two days, right? So I'm like, I'm dreading it because I'm like, she's going to be so disappointed, so mad, you know? Because I'm like, this wasn't the plan, but I guess it kind of was. Like, you know what I mean? I just wasn't ready. So I call my mom. I tell her, listen, pull my bail, I'm doing, I'm using again, right? So she hangs up, whatever. And I went on a spree. I was only out for two weeks. And every single person that would meet up with me and my brother got robbed. And like, there's this guy, Jesse Jukes. I was, I was like sleeping with this one girl, right? And she shows up at, at the trap that we're at. And her heads cracked open. She crying and she, she like, this is how junkie does she went to. She like,

I need you to cauterize my head. I need you to cauterize my head. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Cotterize your head? Like, I look at it. There's like,

yeah, there's like a hairline crack. So it's bleeding a lot, right? So I'm like, what the fuck even happened? And she's like, Jukes and Bailey

jumped me in the basement at your old house on Rodden Street, the one that I got arrested going to. Oh shit. I left something out with both a weed pen. Sorry, sorry. So when I got bail,

they gave me my property, right? And I'm about to walk out of Maplehurst. And I'm going through. my pockets, right? And sure enough, I pull a couple bullets out of my pockets that they missed and I pulled the weed panel. The shit was in my coat pocket the whole time. I never had to leave my friend's house that day that I got arrested. You know what I mean? I was like, what the fuck, you know? But that just shows you where my head was, right? So, um, so anyways, back to this. So

I'm like, where are they? She's like, they're still at that house. So me and my brother go to a house that's like diagonal from it. It's on Buffalo Street. So, um, or sorry, Bruce Street, the halfway house is on Buffalo Street. So it's on Bruce Street. So you can, you're at this house on Bruce Street. You can see my old house diagonally on Rodden Street, right? So me and my brother is sitting there at this guy's house. And my brother's like, don't bring the gun, right?

Because I had a browning shotgun that it was a 12 gauge and it was cut down too. And my brother's like, don't bring the gun. And I was like, why? And he's like, bro, you're way too jacked up. Don't bring the gun. You know what I mean? So we're arguing whatever. I end up leaving the gun, thankfully.

So we go to this house, right? And my brother knows the girl who's living there now. So she lets us in. My brother's like, where's jokes? She's like, oh, he's sleeping in the front room, like in my daughter's room. My daughter's not here, though, right? Her daughter is like our age. But she's like, he's sleeping in my daughter's room, but my daughter's not here, whatever.

So me and my brother just walked straight to the room, right? And the door's locked. So I turn around and like horse kicked the door, right? It's not budging. I'm so high off this fucking mess. shot that I did, I grabbed the door and I just start pulling this way with all my weight. And it's like, it's like a rock. It's not like a nice house.

You know what I mean? Like the trim and all this type of shit is like, it's not, there's two by fours put together and shit, you know? Right. So I put all my weight on the shit and I pull the fucking frame like this much off. You know what I mean? I'm just so high. So then me and my brother start kicking it now.

It finally comes open. And this guy's so passed out on the bed. He didn't even wake up from that, right? So there's a baseball bat sitting besides. the futon. So I grabbed that shit and I smashed him into the ribs with it, right? Wow. My brother starts stomping on his head. We fucked him up real bad. This girl, this girl's out there's screaming. She's like, I'm going to call the cops. Like, there's so much blood. Like this guy's face was just leaking. She's like, get it. This is my daughter's room.

Like, I'm calling the cops. Our brother's like, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. I'm like, all right, fuck. So I start walking out. I'm like, no, I'm not done. I go back into the room. I had a, I had a, like a knife that it looked like a straight razor that you shave with. But It was like a flick knife, you know, it flicked open. So I grabbed that shit. And like, he has this scar to this day, obviously. But I cut him from here to fucking here. I grabbed the back of his head and just, my brother's like, what do you let's go?

You know what I mean? I'm like, all right, cool. We got to cut. Boom. So I cut. We go back to the house. And my boy boots, rest in peace. He calls me and he's like, you know, what the fuck did you just do at my niece's house?

And I also explained the situation to him. And he's like, all right, you know, like, you're good. then you're good but he's like yo you're you're getting too crazy kid like what the fuck are you doing because boots is like almost 40 right so he's like he's like what are you doing kid like you're getting way too out of hand like i keep hearing your name everywhere and it's not in a good way so i'm like all right whatever so uh my brother call me and like we split whatever my brother call me and he's like you know i need you to come to stacy's with me and i was like i ain't going to that house it's a one way in one way out.

And it's on the third floor. And there's like rod iron fence around it with like, you know, the spiky rod iron fence type gates. So that's like all around it. So you ain't jumping out the window. You're hitting that for sure. You know what I mean? And it's on the third floor and I'm scared of heights.

So all you can do is go up to stairs, turn, turn again. And then you're at the door, right? And it's like just a rickety house. Like there's no lock on the door because it's been kicked open so many times. Like my brother wanted this. a girl was bagging my brother, and this helped us out in court, because this girl was bagging my brother on, like, voice messages on Facebook messenger, like, please, I need you to come stay with me. Like, I'm scared to stay here by myself. It keeps getting robbed because her boyfriend

was, like, a big drug dealer, but they had broken up and people didn't really know that he wasn't there still, right? So somebody did a home invasion and, like, she had gotten, like, the R word and stuff like that, you know what I mean? Like, some real bad stuff had happened to her. So she was, like, bagging my brother to come stay there. And I was like, bro, I don't feel comfortable. about being in that house, right? So my brother, the way, now it's different. Like, I cut him off. I don't even talk to him now.

But before, like, I just, my brother had a good way of making you feel bad, feel sorry for him. Like, feel like you had to come with him and do it. I don't know. Maybe it was just me because my loyalty, you know what I mean? But like, so I ended up going there with him, right? And then he's like, okay, so we're going to rent the room off of her. So I'm like, yo, you beg me to come here.

And I got to give her money for a room. What the fuck? And I don't even want to stay here, right? So I end up giving her a grandma. of down and 300 bucks right and then the room you couldn't even go in the room it was so jam packed with like furniture and bags of clothes and garbage and shit you know what you mean like you couldn't do nothing in that room so now i paid you for a room i don't want to stay in in a house i don't want to stay in and a room that i have to clean you know what i mean like there's just everything was just

bad from the start right so this girl didn't have a living room she you walk in the house right and it's one hallway the kitchen's here there's a room here a room here a room here in a room here, then the bathroom. And it's all off one hallway. That's all it is, right? Her couch is in the bathroom. Like one of those little love seats. It's in the bathroom.

There's a fucking basket full of everything that you need to shoot needles, right? Just right in the middle, like it's a fucking decoration piece on the table. So we're in this house. And I'm chilling in the bathroom. And I never really did down. And then this week, the last week, I had started like smoking down. My brother, just like little bits. but I was still doing the mess.

So I wasn't nodding out like everybody else, right? I was just getting like high from it. And, and like some people that say like when you do opiates, it feels like it creeps up on you, but it feels like a warm hug from God. That's what my brother used to say, which is so fucked.

But down. So I'm sitting in her bathroom and I had like a half ounce of down. And my friend Whitney, so the team used to be me, my brother Whitney and Anne, right? Am wasn't like, Anne was just like the safe house. So she was part of the team, you know?

And we all communicated through her too. Like if I couldn't get a hold of them, I tell Anne and it's getting to one of them or vice versa, right? Right. So Whitney had just done two years less a day because in Canada, two years plus a day means you're going to the penitentiary. Two years less a day means you're staying in provincial. So that's how they like categorize that. So Whitney had just gotten two years less a day because she just caught up in a raid. So she was out for a couple days, right?

But she had no probation, no paper, no nothing, right? She was just, she did her sentence and she was out because it was provincial. Like once in the feds, like, no matter what, you're on parole when you get out, you can't get out and not be on parole. You know what I mean? So anyways, so she was out for like a day or two and she messages me and she's like, hey, like, I need help selling this. Like, what's up? And I'm like, you know, ice really kicking right now. Like, no, people want down.

Like, meth is so cheap right now, you know. I was like, come over and I'll put you on. Like, I'll give you like a ball of down. You know, just to start you up, she said, all right, I bet, where are you? So I told her, right? I'm like, I'm on Mary Street. She's like, I'm not coming to that house.

And I was like, so we argued on the phone for like 10, 15 minutes. And then finally I'm like, listen, I'll give you two extra grams that you don't have to pay back for. Just come pick it up and go. Like I was like, I'm too lazy. I don't want to leave this couch right now, which was like a super downfall. but so she's like she's like i fucking hate you but all right i'm coming right so she shows up bro and in the meantime or sorry right before she showed up this girl stacy that whose house it was

she had told us she's like i'm going to the store do you guys need anything i'm like yeah i need a pack of cigarettes right well remember i told you the door didn't have a lock right so the way you lock this door is because when you walk in the wall kind of does one of those curve things you know so you take this two by four put it at the bottom of the door you wedge it against the baseboard of that little curve thing and then if you want extra security there's like a big like a big chair that would be like on a couch set you know what i mean and you push that up against the door too right and that's the luck so this girl's gone for like probably an hour at this point right And I'm like, yo, where the fuck is this girl, right?

Like the store is literally five minutes away. So I walk out in the bathroom and I look over the door and the two by four is down. Like the door is locked. And I'm like, now it clicks on my head. I'm like, I'm like, Andrew, did you put the two by four down? He's like, nah, how's she supposed to get back in? And I was like, that's impossible for her to like, you know what I mean? It's impossible.

You can't walk out the door and then also put the two by four down. Right. So I'm like, not leave? That's what I'm saying, right? I'm like, where is this girl? Like, it's not a big fucking apartment. So I go to the one room And like mind you

Every room is trash to shit Like you know It's hard to push the doors open There's so much stuff in these fucking rooms So like I go to the one room I look there's nothing in there I'm like yo Check the middle bedroom

I'm gonna go check the other bedroom right My brother's like yeah there's nothing in there Whatever So we're sitting And I hear something in the middle bedroom And I'm like I hear like a box move or something And I'm like

Yo this girl's setting us up She bagged us to come here She's trying to get us I'm like, yo, there's people in that room right now. So I grabbed the shotgun. And I'm like, yo, if anybody's in this house, like, you're getting shot 100%. Like nobody's robbing me. I'm like, Andrew, go open that door, right?

So he goes to open the door. And like, you know, when somebody pushes back on a door, like you'd have that little match? Well, the door is doing that. And I'm like, I'm like, yo, somebody's in there, bro. And I'm like, tweaking out. And he's like, bro, no, there's nobody in there. He's like, there's a mattress that's leaning against the door. And the dog is in there.

I'm like, the dog. There's a dog here? What the fuck? You know? So he's like, so he, I believe it for some reason. I believe it. Well, because I said somebody was going to get shot, what happened was this girl was in there on the phone with the cops. She's saying that people are in her house trying to rob it. Well, I hear another noise, right? And this is why. Is she just fucked up? Okay. So, so I'll explain it. I'll explain it. So one of my charges on the paperwork that I sent you was careless use of a firearm, right? So what

happened was she's on the phone with the cops i hear another noise in there i say fuck this i go to the door and i rack the shotgun right because this one was a pump so i'm like i'm like yo i'm about to bump through this door she on a phone with the cops while i did that so now they're like high tail in there right so whitney shows up and uh i'm like i don't even tell her about any of the shit because i don't know the cops are on the way i don't tell her somebody who's just in the room so i go to scale her shit up right she's there for like maybe maybe five minutes my brother taps me and it's a message from the Stacy girl's aunt. And she said to my brother, if anything happens to Stacy, I'll find you. My brother's like, yo, look at this. So I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like,

call a cab. Let's get the fuck out of here. Like, you know, as I'm calling a cab, boom, boom, boom, Bradford police. I'm like, oh, no, what the fuck? Whitney looks at me. She's like, I fucking hate you. You know, like, because I convinced her to come there. She didn't want to come. She's not even there five minutes, bro. And she just got out. You know what I mean? She's like, I, fucking hate you. And I was like, listen, whatever happens, I will take every charge, I promise, right? So I'm like, my brother's like, I'm going to hoop all this shit, right? So he goes in the bathroom. He starts banging packages. Whitney goes and hides in the, she stands in the shower. And I'm like, I know I'm going to jail because I ain't jumping out that fucking window, right? So the board's down.

I pushed that chair up against the door and the board. I'm like, fuck you guys, you can kick the door, right? Like, I ain't open and shit. So I go and I lay in this. this girl's bed, right? And I start smoking a cigarette. And I'm texting Ann and my baby mom and I'm like, hey, I'm going back to jail. Like, you know, I fucked up. Da-da-da. Well, out of nowhere, we don't know this girl's here, right? This girl comes flying out that middle bedroom and she all disoriented. She's like, who are these people in my house? Why are you in my house? I'm like, what the fuck? She moves the chair, opens the thing, lets the cops in. She's like, I don't know who these people are in my house. I'm like, oh no, this is about to go so bad, you know? So I had one of those, um,

you know, those like mountain climbing backpacks. They're like the big ones. Yeah. So I had one of those with all my clothes in it. So I shoved the shotgun in there and put it under the couch or behind the couch in the bathroom, right? Not the greatest hiding spot, but I didn't have nowhere else to hide it, right? So I put it there and I'm in the bedroom with no weapons on me or I had a knife on my, on my hip. And, um, I see the cop coming. Same fucking cop from the first two times, right? He's like, Where's the gun McEwen? I know you have a gun, right? And I was like, I was like, I really don't have a gun.

Fuck you, right? And then I see the girl behind him with the taser. And I was like, instantly, I throw my hands up. I'm like, I'm not resisting. I'm not, like, I changed my whole tone because at first I'm telling him, fuck you, right? But I'm like, I'm not resisting. Don't fucking tase me. So I still have the shirt too that I was wearing in it.

And I can't wear it anywhere. I was a big rip here. So like, as I'm trying to stand up off the bed, the cop, he's like a bigger guy. He grabs me by the front of my shirt. And he like tries to put me through the fucking floor, right? slams me so fucking hard. I remember seeing stars and like my body going like a hot flash almost. I'm like, what the fuck, right?

He's like, where's the gun? Where's the gun? I'm like, yo, I really don't have a gun this time. I really don't, right? So he's searching me, pulls the knife off me. He's like, you got something though, right? And I was like, I really don't have a gun. So they arrest me.

They find my brother and Whitney in the bathroom, right? They arrest them. They sit us down in the hallways, right? Well, this Stacy girl, she's standing out there talking to the cops tweaking. And she's like, she's like, I don't know who any of you guys are. She points to the girl. She's like, and who's this bitch in my house?

Like, you know what I mean? Whitney's like, oh, fuck you, bitch. And I'm like, this is where I trip her up, though. Because I look at her and I was like, yo, are you serious? I'm like, I really didn't. I didn't say the down. I really didn't give you $300 to stay in a room. Or no, I'm like, I really didn't pay you to stay in this room.

And she goes, what? The $300 and the cop goes, I thought you didn't know who they were. Yeah. She's like, uh, uh, so they run her name. Bitch has a warrant. So now they're like, you're under arrest for failure to appear to a court appearance, right? So she's like, I would have never let you in if I knew that I was going to get arrested. And we're kind of laughing out.

And the cops, like, the cops, they're searching whatever. They haven't found the gun yet. So I'm like, yo, listen, I'm like, everything in this house is mine, right? Like, I don't even know what's in this house other than my shit. But I'm like, everything in this house is mine. I'm like, she just came to see me quick. this is just my friend. I haven't seen her. And like they run Whitney's name.

They find out she's not on paperwork, not on nothing. They're really about to let her go, right? Because like they believe me, right? There's no gun. There's no nothing. There's really, or they're really about to let her go. And then his partner goes,

I found a gun. I found a gun. The cop looks at me and goes, I knew it, motherfucker. I was like, oh shit. So now Whitney's going to jail too,

even though I'm like, I'm like, listen, the gun's mine. I'm like, there's a scale on the fucking bathroom counter. There's like, one of my charges is there's seven individually wrapped packages of down crystal you know because my brother started hooping them but missed seven of them i guess so so i'm like everything in this house is mine like everything is mine well that cop must have not known that i got the other charges

withdrawn the very first one right because he's like you you sure you really want to do that he's like you're like you're like you're probably up to like 18 years by now you know and i was like 18 years i'm like i got my other charges dropped what the fuck are you talking about right And he's like, he's like, you really sure you want to do that? I'm like, everything in this house is mine, bro. Like I look at my brother. I look at Whitney. I'm like, just shut the fuck up, right?

I'm like, everything in this house is mine. So they take us whatever. We go to the police station. Now we're in the holding cells. And when they go to interview me, right, they put me in the interview room. They have the little camera on. And I'm like, all right, listen, I got something to tell y'all. So they're all like, okay, okay.

Because everybody in my city rats, everybody, you know? And I'm like, unfortunately, I can't talk to you. until my lawyer comes. They're so mad. They're like, get the fuck back to yourself, you know, bring me back to myself. And they left the door open when that Stacy girl was in there for her little interview. And we heard everything she said, right? She's talking about people that weren't even involved, like just singing away, right? And I'm like, what's the point? Like, I'm taking the charges. You guys are all going to get released as soon as I plea. You know what I mean? Like, I never understood that. And anyways, so we're there for a couple days in the whole.

holding cells and then they're transferring us to Maplehurst, right? So they put us all in the same paddy wagon. We're all separated, right? There's like four little cubicle, you know what? You've been in I'm sure. So you can talk to each other in them, right? So this Stacy girl's like, she's sobered up a little bit now, right? And she's like, I'm so sorry. And she explains what happened, right? So what happened was she took a big shot of ice and then was all pumped and was like, I'm going to go to the store, right? But I had given her that grandma down, right? So she goes in the room and she does. does a big whack of the fentanyl too. And she passes out.

Well, when she wakes up, she just hears me and my brother in the house. And we're talking about robbing somebody, right? And she thinks that we're talking about her because she had just woken up. So then she makes that sound. I say, I'm going to shoot through the door. So then she gets scared. Messages her aunt, then calls the cops. And now she's on the phone with the cops, makes another noise.

I racked the shotgun, you know. And then she's like, I was just so fucked up. She's like, I'm so sorry. And I was like, yeah, but that doesn't explain why you came out saying you didn't know who we were. And she's like, well, she's like, you got to understand. Like, I thought you guys were talking about tying me up and da-da-da-da. Because me and my brother were talking about where we're going to tie this person up and we'll take everything in the safe. And she thought that we were talking about her, right?

And I'm like, still, fuck you, right? I'm like, whatever. She's like, are you really taking the charges? And I was like, listen, make no mistake about this. I am not taking these charges for you or for my brother. The only reason I'm taking these charges is because it's my fault. Whitney's here, you know? I was like, if Whitney wasn't here, all three of us would be sitting and fight in this case, you know? But like, I can't let her sit like that, right? Like, it was my

fault that she was there. And, and I got to own up to that, right? So, I get her out on bail. I get to, this never happens either. We get to Maplehurst. There's one cell in like A&D. I think it's called something different in the States, right? Like when you first get to jail, ours is called A&D, right? Mission and Departure. So we get there. And there's one cell that has a phone in it. And the phone's never on, right? They put me in that cell. I pick it up the fucking phone is on.

I was like, no way. So I call Ann. And I'm like, yo, listen, you have to make it right with your sister. Because her and her sister, Ginger, were in a fight at the time, right? So I'm like, but we always use Ginger to bail people out. She's always somebody's shirty, right? So I'm like, you have to make it right with Ginger for me. Like, please.

And Anne was in love with me, whatever. Like, I have her name tattooed on my leg. She was my best friend, but she wanted to be with me. But like, I just, I called her auntie and shit. you know what I mean she was like almost 50 um but anyways so she would do anything for me right so she she made it right with ginger and this was on like a tuesday on the friday i had whitney out on bail right so like i got her out and then my lawyer i'm talking to my lawyer and he's like listen you can beat this case the same way that you beat the first one they never found the gun on you

it's not your house you know what i mean he's like you're a fucking idiot for saying everything was yours right i can use the defense that you were so fucked up and didn't know what you were talking about. He's like, we could run it and see how it works. And I was like, listen, bro, I can't do that to Whitney, you know? I was like, it's my fault that she's there. I got to take the charge, bro. That's just, yeah, but she's not, she's not, it's not her shit either. It's not her place. She'd lose, she'd get off the same way you would get off. Wasn't me. I showed up to meet this fucking guy. You know how many people, Matt, when I was, when I was in the pen and I told him this story, you know how many people said that exact same thing? Like, you're a fucking idiot.

And I was like, I was so stuck in my own head that. like, no, I'm loyal. I need to do this for her. You know what I mean? And like, and then it didn't help that on range, like in provincial, it gave me a little bit of cred. People are like, yo, you're solid as fuck, bro. You're taking the charges for them, da, da, da.

And that boost my ego a little bit. I hadn't grown up yet, right? So my lawyer, I'm arguing with my lawyer. And he goes, listen, I'm not taking this case then. He's like, I'll refer you to somebody else, but I'm not representing you for that. And I was like, what? For real? He's like, bro, he's like, you want to be a fucking tough guy idiot?

Go be a tough guy idiot, you know? go be solid with a different lawyer. And I was like, oh, fuck. So originally he was telling me for that 22 that they found on my waist when they pulled me over on the bike that he could get me two years less a day and keep me out of the pen, right? Well, after that, he goes three years is the best I can do for you. And I was like, oh, motherfucker.

So I'm like, whatever, just run it, right? I want to plea as soon as possible so her charges get dropped. And so I ended up having two different court dates, though, because they didn't pile the charges together. They fucking gave me two fuckers, right? So, um, right? So, so he refers me to this lawyer. And I'm talked to him one time. And then after that, it's his little like, this girl that's in, like, law school represent me now, basically, right? So I get up myself for a lawyer call the one day. And she's like, listen, I got a deal. I can get you 18 months for the shotgun, but it's going to be consecutive like the one that consecutives i do my first three and then i do yeah so it's going to be

consecutive right and i was like yo you can't run it concurrent and she's like no it's 18 months consecutive or like what do you want to do and i was like just set the date you know so my mom was so mad at me like i was with my uh son's mom at the time she broke up with me because of that because she's like you could have not even went to the pen and now you're going to go and do over four years like what the fuck is wrong with you you know what i mean and i was like yeah you're right you So I ended up because of the time served that I got because the first two times that I was on bail, one was six months, one was seven months. They gave me time for those.

And it was during COVID. So they gave me double time, right, for a couple of the days. And then before I went to the pen, I sat for a year and a half doing dead time, right? So the deal was like just under five years. And I ended up with my dead time and everything. I ended up getting three years, two months and 28 days to serve in the pen, right? But I had already done the year and a half in provincial. So really, I was doing a little over four years, right?

So real quick, concurrent is at the same time? No, it's the one that I had to do my three years and then the next 18 months started. Right. So consecutive. Yeah, consecutive. Okay, I mixed it up. Executive. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's on the paperwork I showed you.

Right. But yeah, so, so, like, they were pissed about that. Like, my lawyer dropped me. And he was a really good lawyer, too, man. Like, yeah, he was a dope lawyer. But anyways, so I plea out, the day I plea out, my brother gets released. Whitney gets her bail withdrawn or whatever. And the girl that called the cops and did all this also gets her charges dropped.

You know, I had no say over that, but I was like, I guess I have to take that one dry. Yeah, but you're the one. you're the one that got her charges drop exactly though right but but that's what i mean is like fuck so i kind of in order to get my brother and whitney off i also had to get this girl off that fucked us over and called the cops right well whatever it is what it is so um i finally i finally get transferred to the pen and i go to reception first obviously right which is it's called joyceville medium and uh nobody stays there like it's it's just uh reception that's all it is right yeah they categorize you and decide where to send you yeah exactly so that's how it's

that's how it is in the states by the way yeah okay i thought so like i listened to your show every day at well in the feds it's different by the time you get you know like if you're in the u.s marx they do that in the marshals holdover so they're categorizing you using the p s i so right away within once you're sentenced within a few days they know where what prison you're going to yeah exactly in the state system they typically send you somewhere where you hang it sometimes you hang out for a month sometimes it's six months before they decide where to send yeah that's the exact same as joyce field reception is like i was only there for four months but like there was guys on range that had been there for almost a year still waiting to get placed somewhere you know and um because

how much trouble i was getting in that last time that i was in provincial like i was getting in flights every day man like it was it got to a point where like i think i was on on like three different ranges at one point because I just kept getting in problems, you know, like I really didn't care. I was mad. I was like, I lost my, my girlfriend at the time. I wasn't talking to my kids. Like, it was just, everything was bad, right?

And because of all my misconducts, I don't know what they're called in the States, but if you get into a fight, it's like a disciplinary report, basically, but they call them misconducts, right? So I had, I had 17 misconducts by the time I got to, to the pen. And every one of those adds to your score, right? So out of 38, my score was 21. So they placed me as max, like a maximum inmate. And I was like, oh, fuck, right?

So my, my first PO when I got to reception, because your PO changes when you go to a different place, right? So my first PO when I got to reception, she pulls me in the office and she goes, hey, listen, like, if you get into one problem here, anything, she's like you were going to go to max. If you can be good until you get placed, I will make sure that you go to a high medium, right? which is like who doesn't want to go to like max or medium i'm going to go to medium you know so um so i stayed out of trouble for that four months that i was there right like i got caught one time with 50 kiwis under my bed because i was letting them still in my cell they were they would give me a bottle and i don't drink right so uh so i'd just sell it right but uh sometimes myself stunk like like a fucking brewery it was so bad um but one time they did a seroton yeah there was a garbage bag

and there's 50 kiwis in it right so they're like oh what are these for you know I was like, oh, I like Kiwis. Yeah, right. So that's the only trouble I got in there. And so she placed me to Collins Bay medium, which is like supposed to be the craziest medium. But I found out Workworth was actually way crazier, which is supposed to be a step lower. You know what I mean? So it was like weird.

It was mixed up. But Collins Bay was still crazy. It's all gangs and stuff, right? So I get there and I'm on range eight or unit eight. and my dad had this friend named Easy, right? And Easy was in the pen. He's doing eight years. And the last thing my dad ever said, oh, sorry, I skipped over that.

When I got to the reception, it was COVID, so they had to quarantine you for seven days, right? So you go to this quarantine range and you only leave yourself for a shower or phone like 20 minutes a day, right? That's it. And I hadn't talked to my dad for a year. The last time I see my dad was at that. Sorry. Can you hear that? Barely.

Okay, okay, good. I don't know what that was. But so the last time I had to see my dad was at that trap house on Rodden Street, right? And my dad and my uncles were really racist, right? And I think that that's why I'm not because they always tried to push that army. Like they were really racist. So we're sitting in my room the one day and my plug's there. Shorty's there.

Racist in what way against blacks? Yes. Like, are there a lot of blacks in Canada? Yeah. Oh, fuck yeah. Toronto's like predominantly. black and mixed. Really?

I just, I always. The Pentistry is the, where I was Collins Bay. Sorry to cut you off. Collins Bay and Workworth are both like the white guys are their minorities. Same within provincial. Wow. I just assumed. I don't know why I assumed that.

I assumed it was, you know, I think and this is probably wrong. I feel like the makeup of Canada is a lot like the UK. Yeah, I'd say that. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think of the UK as. having a lot of blacks. I think of them having a lot of like Indians and Pakistanis or and I guess Muslims at this point. Oh, we have a lot of Indian and Pakistani now too. When I got out, it was like,

everything was so different. But always like my whole life, it's, it's in the jail system and like in the streets like the white guys are the minorities here. Yeah. Okay. So, so my, my uncles and my dad were like really racist, you know, and they always tried to push it on me. Like, and they always told my sister like, you could never date a black guy. Tell me, it's funny because my girlfriend's black. But anyways, so where was that going at that?

Your dad, you'd been locked up. Oh, yeah. So, because I took it back a little bit. The last time I seen my dad, yeah.

So my dad's super racist. So we're sitting in the trap and we're in my room and my plug shows up, right? And my dad was like fucked up at this point. Like, like days of smoking rock.

And he was such an alcoholic that like, he died from it so he had cirrhosis of the liver really bad and then the last like drugs he ever did killed him right so but he was dying either way from his liver right so like he was just fucked up and uh shorty walks in and my dad's like who the fuck's this n-word right and i was like why why shorty pulls the gun out boom he's like the fuck did you just say to me and i was like bro this is my dad this is my dad this is my dad and he's like i don't give a fuck He's like, yo, either you beat him or I'm beating him. And I was like, oh.

So I'm like, it would have been so much worse. He would have probably pistol whipped him and shit. So I just started firing off of my dad, right? My dad's like, what the fuck, though? What the fuck? Right. And like, that's the last time I ever see my dad, bro. And I regret that so much every day.

But it was like, it was, I did it or he was going to do it so much worse. You know what I mean? Right. So for like, because that was a year before I got arrested, right? So or maybe a little less than a year. But so the whole time after that my dad was like trying to reach out to me through people and I'd always be like fuck off fuck off fuck off right And then so I'm I'm sitting in in quarantine now in reception and I'm like I really want to talk to my dad I'm like I think it's time to like apologize and reach out whatever

So I don't know about the states. I'm assuming it's the same but you have like a phone list You can't just call anybody you have to get the numbers approved and yes okay So so I fill out a thing from my dad right and well for my grandma's house but I knew my dad would be there, right? So I filled it out and I put it in. And the next day, man, I call Ann, my best friend. And she's like, hey, you really need to call your mom. And I'm like, why?

She's like, just call your mom, please. So boom, so I called my mom and she's like, hey, listen, your dad passed away last night. And I was like, what? I was like, I just put a thing in to talk to him. Like, you know, so that really spun my head, right? So I was like, fuck. Because I was like the timing. I was like, I had so much time to make it right.

and like, you know what I mean? And I just didn't and whatever. And then he came. I had a dream and like he said goodbye to me in a dream and it was so real. It was crazy. But like, so I get out of quarantine and I'm not really like feeling like too great. You know what I mean? I'm just like I kind of want to isolate at this point to sit in my cell and do my thing.

But you can't do that when you get there. You got to go out to yard. You got to, you know what I mean? Like in Canada, I don't know about the States, but your first, no matter what pen you go to, the first three days that you're there, you have to show up to yard because you have to give people time to maybe this guy that you have a problem with or ripped off or something didn't come out that day. So you have to go out for the first three days. And then after that, you don't ever have to go out if you don't want to again. You know what I mean? So like,

I just want to chill in myself. I'm not worried about nobody, but like, so I have to go to yard and mingle with people or whatever. I ended up running into a bunch of people from my city. So I'm good, whatever. And then I stayed out of trouble there. So she let me go to Collins Bay Medium, right? So I get there. And my dad had this friend easy. And the last thing my dad ever said to Easy was, hey, my son's going to the pen. If you run into him, take care of him, please. So I show up on unit and the first person I see is easy. And I was like, oh, that's my dad looking out for me for sure, you know?

So I'm like, yo, what's up? He's like, oh, you're Joe's son, right? And I was like, yeah, da-da-da. So he put me under his wing and like, I was good. So he introduces me to this guy, Banks. He was the lifer, right? And I'm like, yo, I got some money, bro. Like I spent 15 grand with banks in the six months that I was there.

Um, so I'm like buying tobacco off. I'm, I'm a big smoker, right? So I'm buying tobacco off them. I'm buying the two. You know that, do you guys get the Dawn Mist toothpaste? Is that what you guys get? It has like those little white caps on the top and you can like, the cap has like, it's kind of hollowed. Not sure.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like the, the ones we get. Yes. And then like the orange bob barker slides and shit. Yeah. So, so these toothpaste caps, you can fill them up with shatter, right?

Like, it's like, it's probably the size of this. Oh, you mean the state. Okay, so it's from the state. It's like what the state gives you. Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah, a little tiny like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So that cap, the way that it's little hollowed out, so you can fill that up with Shatter. Like, you know what Shatter is? Weed. It's like weed concentrate turned into like a gooey type of thing, right? So you can fill that up with Shatter and then there are $100 a cap, right? So this guy, this guy was giving me a bail of tobacco, which was $1,200.

So he'd give me that and he'd give me 10 Don missed caps. And so I would owe him $1,700 because I would owe him $500 for the caps and $1,200 for the tobacco, right? But off of that, if you're smart, you can make like $3, $4,000 off of that, you know, no problem. You just bust the tobacco up real small, like, you know what I mean? just be chinty with it, whatever. Or you sell zaps individually. You like take the clippers, the toenail clippers, that little piece that's to clean your nails.

And you take a little chunk of the shatter out and you squeeze it between that paper that you take off the toilet paper. You know what I'm talking about? The toilet paper comes wrapped in that like really thin paper. Yeah. Is it like that in the States? That's what we used for rolling paper there too. Right.

Because it's better than Bible paper because it has no like, it's just way thinner, right? So you squeeze a little bit of shatter in that and you can sell it for 10 bucks. for one little hit, right? So if you bust all 10 of those caps out, like you're going to make like a thousand, 1,500 bucks just off of those little, those things, right? So if you're smart with it, so for a while, like,

I was doing really good for this guy. Like every couple days I'm getting another bail and more 10 caps, right? People are always at my cell. Like, I always had big bags of canteen, you know? And the little range I was on because like unit eight, it's like a big unit, but then it's all broken up into different.

ranges just none of them are closed off like it's just open you can go to whatever range you want you know what i mean and there's like stairs that go up to the upstairs range and stuff and it's just all open so um on the little range i was on it was these driftwood guys from trono they're crips right this gang and uh they were mad that i wasn't buying off of them because they seen that my cell was always booming right so they're like oh like the buddy came in my cell the one day the little head guy and he's like hey like you know why don't why don't you uh get stuff off of us he's like oh i got cell phones like yo i can get you whatever you want and i'm like no i'm good because every day i'm up in banks to sell using his big samsung s 22 or iphone 12 like

you know what you mean like every day um so i'm like no i'm good like i'm global banks right so they didn't like that so a couple days go by and i go to put my clothes in the washer right and uh but he's like yo white boy he's like you can't use the washer on a range anymore and i was like what I write watch so I wouldn't put my clothes in right and I started it up and they're like yeah it's like that and I was like I guess it is and then I went to myself now there's this big rapper from Canada right his name is Roney he's like just starting to get famous so he's from Toronto but he was in there and he was in there allegedly even though he was in there um pimping 13 year old girls out of hotel rooms right the girl was 13 the other girl was like 14 or something like that so and he was like the big dog like

everybody like that's the thing I didn't understand about the pen is like there could be guys with rape charges and they're fine and then there's another guy with the same charge and those same guys are on him you know what I mean like I didn't understand that about the gangs right like um so anyways so I come out to sell the one day and they're like talking shit to me and like chirped me and I was like yo this is what I don't understand I was like yo y'all are fucking goofs and I shouldn't have said that because goof in in Canada is like the ultimate like you say goon you and you're fighting. You know what I mean? Like you call somebody a goof. See, everybody says different shit. Like, I was taught goof means get out or fight. That's what you say to somebody when you,

you're kicking them off the range or you're fighting them. You say goof, right? But then it switched into now a child molester is a goof diddler. You know what I mean? Like, so if you call somebody a goof, it's like the ultimate form of disrespect in the Canadian prison system, right? So I was like, I don't understand you fucking goofs. I was like, your big dog is a fucking sex offender. And I'm here on solid charges. Like, what the fuck? Why y'all fucking with me, right? And they're like, yeah, it's like that. Like, yo, you really just, okay, okay, we'll see, right? And I walk back into my cell. And I'm like, why though? Fuck did I just say that? You know? I'm like, fuck, right? So a couple days go by and I'm waiting for it, bro. And then like, they waited, bro. So, like,

two or three days go by. And I was on these crazy sleeping pills. There were these yellow pills. I think they were ammitryptylene or something like that. And they were, knock me out for days bro like i could sleep a whole day and a half like so but every morning for breakfast they buzz your door open right but the pen doesn't pop until you pull the door you know the pin that pops out so your door will be unlocked because they're magnetic right the locks but until somebody opens it the pin doesn't click so i'm laying in my bed and i've been asleep for like probably like 18 a long time like 18 hours like almost 20 hours you know what I mean and uh I'm like just waking up I'm all groggy right and I'm laying there and I'm on my stomach and I hear the pin pop but I think

that it's easy because I was selling so much tobacco that when I would sleep for like a day or two I I would let easy come in my cell and he would take my ashtray because there'd always be like half half rolled cigarettes in it and he would just smoke that until I woke up right like I just let him. So I'm thinking it's easy. And then I have no shirt on and I feel this guy. He cut me with a razor on. Like there's like I have like this. It's not big. He didn't get me deep. Right. I rolled out. But there's like I think it's the other side. Can you see that X? Yeah. Well, I saw it on the other side. Yeah. Sorry. I forget what side of it sometimes. So, um, so he, he hit me with the first one. And it curves. The way it curves is because I rolled out of bed when he was getting me with the second one, right? But it was just one guy and

myself. So I jump up and I'm like, what the fuck? I'm all groggy. So we start like tussling, right? And I throw him into my shelf and I break my fucking TV with him. I was so mad about that. So I throw him into my shelf. He hits my TV. It falls off the thing, breaks. And I hit him a couple times and he runs out myself, right? And now I'm like, what the fuck? Right. I'm like, I knew it was going to come, but I didn't think I'd be sleeping, right? So I had a toothbrush with two razors melted into it. And I had just moved it. I used to keep it above my windowsill. thing, right? Because not window cell, but like the way the bricks came out, you could set it up there, right? Because they, in Collins Bay Medium, they really didn't do cell searches unless you gave them a reason to, you know?

So I used to just keep it sitting up there. But I had, it was winter time now, right? Or it was like fall time. So they gave out the winter jackets, like these green like canvas jackets with like a big like bright strip, you know, like the construction worker type strips has those on it, right? So I had slit the jacket open same way I did with my gun and I put the razor. in there and I forgot right so it's hanging on my thing and I'm like looking around my room for my razor myself and I'm like where the fuck is this thing right and then uh I look up and boom there's four of them coming into my cell right there's four dudes coming in my cell and I was like oh fuck so the cells are big in Collins Bay though and they're all single cells right you you'll never get a cellmate in Collins Bay because it just gets too crazy so the cells are big enough for four people and they're like the bed is here along this way the shelf's along this way, right? Toilets here and then the wall curves and then it's the door, right?

And then there's a window behind you and my chair. They give you like a lawn chair type chair and that's sitting in front of the window, right? So I'm backing up because I'm like, oh, fuck. And they're like talking shit, you know, telling me like, oh, you fuck, you know, you're going to get it type thing. Right. So I'm backing up and my fucking legs, my like bottom of my knees hit that chair, right? And I fucking fall into the chair and they just rush me and beat the fuck. fuck out of me, bro. I didn't even get a single punch off. Like, my head looked like a blue pumpkin.

Like, it was, it was bad, bro. They stopped me for so long. And they were, the thing that happened was they were like yelling, like, you know, like, yo, you fucking goof, like, fuck you type shit. And my cell was like four cells down from the bubble where the COs sit. And the door wasn't, they didn't, if they would have closed that door and locked it, you know, like, they probably would have killed me, honestly. And the COs had heard it.

So they came, right? and they broke it up, whatever. And then they brought me to medical and shit. And they're like, they asked me straight up. They're like, do you want to go back to that range? And I was like, are you dumb? No. I don't even want to be in this jail anymore, you know?

So they transferred me to Workworth. Well, while I'm on my way to Workworth, I'm on the bus with this big native guy from Winnipeg. His name was Blaze. He was a GC, gangster crypt. He was doing life for murder. He had already been in 13. years. He's, I was what, 20, I think I was 25 at the time. So he, he was like 30, something like

that, right? And the other two guys that were on the transfer bus with us were both pedophiles. Because Workworth had a sex offender program, which is crazy because Workworth ended up being the craziest fucking penitentiary that I've been to, you know? Like, I've seen so much stuff there. It was insane. Um, so me and Blaze start talking, right? We get there. We go through intake, whatever. They send us to the units. Me and Blaze end up being on the same unit.

So we walk up the stairs to the bubble and the CEO's like, do you guys know each other? And I just kind of stood there like, because I'm telling you, this guy, look, I wish I had a picture of him, bro. He ended up being my friend, but like, you know, he just looks so scary, you know, like scars all over him. Like just giant, you know, been working out for 13 years. Like, where is it proud that he's killed people? You know what I mean? Like one of those guys. So I'm like standing there.

I don't really say anything. And he's like, yeah. So she's like, okay, you guys can go up into cell seven together. And I was like, fuck. Okay, cool, right? So we go into the cell and we got there at count. They do count in the States. You've got to lock up for an hour.

Okay, so we got there at count. So she's like, all right, go lock up, right? We get in the cell. And mind you, he's the one that said, yes, we know each other. We get in the cell. They lock it, whatever. And he goes, I'm just going to let you know right now. I don't really like white boys.

I'm like, what the fuck, bro? You know, like, I'm like, oh, bro, I just do my own time. Like, you know, I'm like, I'm not a, I promise like I'm a good celly, bro. Like every cellie I've had is like me. I'm like, and then, you know, I say, I go, yo, by the way, you can have the bottom bunk. He goes, he goes, yeah, I fucking know. I'm like, all right. Like, you know, I don't know why I said that.

Like, I should have just assumed, right? But, uh, whatever. So we start talking because, like, We're in there for an hour now. Like we're setting our beds up and stuff, right? And we start talking and he's like, I want to see your paperwork, right? And I was like, yeah, no problem. Like that's, that picture of the one I sent you that had the circle that said not a goof on it.

I don't know if you remember that. I had that pinned to my wall, right? I got an institutional charge for that for intimidating other inmates. Because you, when you get, you got to bring that. That's why it has so many folds in it. because if you don't bring that sheet with you, they're going to assume that you're a sex offender, you know? Like you've got to show them that score,

that's zero out of 28 sex offense history, right? So I always had that in my pocket. So I show it to him and he's like, okay, you're good, whatever. He's like, you want to see my paperwork, da, da, da, and I was like, I believe you. You don't really got to show it to me.

And this is how I knew he was proud about the body and stuff. Because when his property ended up coming and like his big stack of paperwork came, he was like showing me like pictures of the crime. scene and shit and like he had tied a guy up with uh so they beat the guy to death with the butt of a shotgun boom and then they had tied him up with the power cords from a drill and a skill saw and the drill and the skill saw were still connected to the power cords right and then they put him under a pile of clothes put a mattress on top of it and piled a bunch of other garbage on it and the reason he got caught is because the guy was there for like two weeks and the smell i guess was so

fucking bad that he was sitting there trapping out of that house and and people were coming in and they're like yo what the fuck is that smell like you know and then they heard you blaze got into a problem with somebody a couple weeks ago and it killed the guy and i think the guy's in the house and like so he was showing me pictures of it and everything was like kind of proud of it you know what i mean and then um so we ended up becoming friends though because like like i said i'm a likeable sally so he didn't know anybody there he wasn't even supposed to be in medium what he told me was he went to try and get his medium and he had a new PO because his PO was on maternity leave and apparently she accidentally approved his medium.

So he wasn't even supposed to be in medium, right? So he was like telling me, he's like, listen, I know I'm going to go back to the max at any time. He's like, I'm making this the best I can. You know, he's like, I haven't smoked a cigarette in years. He's like, we, nothing. Like I haven't touched a cell phone in years, you know? And I was like, I knew a couple people there from reception, right? So as soon as we got out of lock out of account, we come out and I see this guy, Sun Sun, this big Jamaican guy.

And he's like, yo, he's like, people call me DT, right? So he's a, it stands for downtown because everything in my city I've done is like really downtown, right? So super basic. But so he's like, yo, DT, right? He's like, what's good? Because when I was in Joyceville, I was playing like $1,000 Celo games with this guy, English, who was son's cousin. And English was running the range, right?

And because, like, I had borrowed, like, by the end of my bit, I'd borrowed, like, $30,000 from my grandma. Like, I owe her so much money now. I was such a piece of shit, bro. Like, before I, I didn't change until, like, the last, like, six months before I got out, you know? So I was playing, like, $1,000 CLO games with this guy. And word had got around that, like, yo, DT has money. Like, you know, like, he's a come up, basically. So they, like, you know, rock me to sleep from my.

my money basically you know what I'm saying so there he's like oh d t he's like oh you need boge you need whatever and I was like so I thought about it and I was like all right I'm gonna manipulate my cellie into having me my muscle then fuck this you know so I was like so I got three fingers of boge which they're a hundred dollars each I got those off a son-sun and I'm like yo give me the email he's like oh I know you're good for it don't worry just pay me whenever right and I was like all right cool so I go back to the cell and I take all the individually wrapped fingers and I dumped them into one pile on the table and Blaz is like, what the fuck?

He's like, yo, I haven't seen this too much I haven't seen this much tobacco in years, bro. Like, what, where did you get this right? And I was like, that's nothing, bro. I was like, I promise you right now every single time, like every night before we go to sleep, we will smoke a cigarette and smoke a joint. I promise you right now.

And he's like, where is he's like, anything you need, I got you, right? So after like, I don't know, two weeks of every single night, we had a cigarette or I had shatter or whatever. he like he was just like super we were super tight we'd sit there every night smoke and he'd just tell me stories and talk and we talk and shit right and uh then this guy smalls who was blazed's homie on road we go we're out at yard the one day and smalls comes up and he's like oh what's up da da da

and blaze is like oh yo this guy was the guy like this guy was one of the main plugs in winnipeg da da da da and he's plugged in in the jail so he gives blaze a phone right so now we have a phone in the cell, da-da-da-da. So I see small as by himself out at yard one day. And he's like, oh, come here. And I'm like, what's up, bro? And he's like, how is it living with Blaze? And I was like, bro, he's a dope guy. And he gave me this look like, for real. And I was like, yeah, bro, like, we're tight, you know? Like, I don't know. He fucks with me. And he's like, yo, I'm going to give you a heads up. He's like, yo, he killed his cellmate in Stony. There's a, yeah, there's a man in Edmonton or Winnipeg or something. And it's called

Stoney Mountain. He's like, bro, he killed his cellmate and kept him under the bunk. for a day and a half. I was like, what? He's like, yeah, well, he was waiting to go to the pen, bro. And I was like, no, you're lying, right? So now, like, because everything was good, but now I'm worried. I'm like, why would you tell me that, you know? So we're in the cell one day, and this guy's Spanish, pops his head in the cell,

and he's like, yo, he's like, do any of you guys do crystal? And I was like, oh, I love crystal, you know? So I was like, yeah, let me get a gram of that. So I get a gram of crystal. And I'm like, oh, you want to do some? And he's like, I don't know if I should. And I should have took that as a sign, you know? I should have took that as a thing.

He's like, oh, no, if I should. And I was like, bro, just do a line with me, right? And he's like, nah, if we're going to do it, we're going to smoke it, go find some tinfoil. So I, boom, I go, I find some tinfoil. And we start smoking, right? And lockup comes that night. And so we're locked in the cell. And I'm like, bro, I'm like, one time I got into a fight with my cellie, bro.

I was like, I thought I was going to kill him. I was just talking shit, right? I was like trying to bring it up. And like, I thought I was going to kill him, dot, dot, and he could. And he kind of looked at me, right? And I was like, why, you ever been in anything like that? And he's like, bro, I fucking tied a guy up and made him live under the bed. And I was like, oh, what?

For real? He's like, bro, I told you I don't like white boys. And I was like, huh? He's like, racist ass white boys, bro. He's like, I'll kill every single one of them. He's like, I was like, what? I was like, bro, like, we're good, right? And he's like, no, bro.

He's like, when we first got in the cell, he's like, by like, because I had a, I didn't have the sides. I just had this, right? So he's like, bro, by the way you looked, I thought you were going to be like a racist, like biker type guy, right? He's like, no, but you're actually pretty cool, bro, da-da-da. He's like, I didn't mean to kill the guy, but once I killed him, I just made him live under the bed. And I was like, made him live under the bed.

Like, what are you even saying? You know what I mean? So I was like, yo, this guy is crazy. But at this point, he was completely on my side, right? So I was like, this is dope. Like, ain't nobody fucking with me. Because, yo, people were scared of this guy. Like, he was massive, bro.

And, like, he really could fight. And, like, you could just tell. you know what I mean like he always had a shank like we had these plexiglass shanks so they they ain't going off in metal detectors right so in the gym there's there's like a fire exit plan posted to the wall right but it's sandwiched in between two pieces of plexiglass held in by rivets well this guy mikey so the crew ended up being me blaze mikey sammy and then this j guy ended up coming and and sometimes there was this AK guy because he was half black half native but he was like the the hitter for the crips in there you know like he did all their work and

shit so he was like half with us half with them and blaze didn't like that right so that that started problems but so me and mike we broke the plexiglass in the gym off of the the fire exit plan right and we snuck it out well we tied the we ripped bed sheets real thin right and then we just he grabbed one side i grab one side and we saw it back and forth and like made these shanks out of this plexiglass right so we all had shanks so smalls ends up getting uh because drones are real big in canada that's like what they do is i don't know if they do that in the states but like the drone yeah okay the drone will come drop and then somebody gets paid to go and pick it up right so smalls ended up hitting a drone play so he had like a lot of shit so he gives blaze a half ounce of crystal um a cell phone

and like a bunch of bogey and and he's like okay like you're gonna start working for me type deal right and blaze is like yeah word so like we hold smalls like third $1,300 for the half ounce of crystal, right? So Blaze is like, I can't use my aunt's bank account. My aunt's the only person that I have on road. Can we use yours? And I was like, yeah, my grandma will do that, no problem. So we start using my grandma's bank account for e transfers, right?

So then I'm sending. So we would send the money to my grandma, right? Right? Terrible, bro. Terrible. So we would send the money to my grandma and then I would send it to his aunt. You know, he didn't want the e transfers to his aunt. from a million different people, right? So I was like, all right, whatever.

So that built a lot of trust with us, though, because, like, I was holding the money. You know, like the very first time we ever did it, he was like, bro, you send that yet? You send that yet? Send that yet? And then it turned into like, bro, I know you'll send it type thing, right? So we're selling a bunch of crystal and we're always on the phone and shit at night. And then he, so they call me in and they're like, hey, you're up for a single cell. And I was like, no, no, no, no.

I was like, me and my cellie came on the same transfer. He's a lifer. He should be before me. Like, I'm out of here in a year and a half, you know? And I had told him when we, I was like, yo, if they offer me a single cell for some reason, I will give it to. Like I had told him that previously, you know? And I was like, I can't take the single cell. And Michelle, the CEO, she's like, okay, so you're refusing it?

We'll just call next up. And I was like, no, no, no. Like, that doesn't make any sense. So I'm arguing with her. I'm like, listen, like, we came on the same transaction. He is doing the life. I'm out in a year and a half. Why about it?

The single cell has to go to him first. Like, you know, what's the big issue? So then the four bar came in, right? Like the sergeant or, and, and she's the one that received me in Blaze in A&D. So I'm like, yo, Joanne, I'm like, you received me and Blaz on the same day in A&D. Like, Michelle was trying to make me either refuse the single cell or take the single cell and give it to somebody else. And then she's like, just, just fucking let them have it, right?

So Michelle didn't like that. So she was like, fuck you type thing. She was on me after that. So I go back to the cell and I'm like, yo, bro, pack your shit. And he's like, he gets all defensive, right? He's like, fuck you mean pack my shit, right? And I was like, yo, you're going to a single cell, bro. And he's like, oh, for real.

I'm going to go. I explained that. I'm like, yo, they just tried to offer it to me, bro. Single cell for two days, brother, two days. So day two, we get out of unlocked. I go down to his cell. And I'm like, yo, have you slept yet, bro? And he's like, yeah, yeah.

Kept saying he's sleeping, right? And I was like, I could tell he wasn't. And like, me and him were smoking like a gram, gram and a half a day. You know what I mean? Like, we're smoking a lot of crystal. And his head starts spinning, bro. And he's like, he's like, I think AK's a spy. And I was like, oh, man.

AK fucks at us, bro. Like, you know, he's, he's just, he's literally part of a gang. He can't just only hang up with us. You know what I mean? Plus, you're from a different set. Like, you're a gangster crypt. They're Drithwood Crips. You know what I mean?

Like, he's just our friend. friend like you know he's like i think he's a spy i think he's a spy da da da and i was like oh fuck so that night we're sitting in a cell in blaze's cell we're all smoking getting high it's me mikey j sammy and blaze aka comes in blaze blaze looks at me he's like we're doing it and i was like doing what you know like and we're whispering i'm like doing what bro and he's like he's like bro make a braid right now and i was like i don't know how to braid he's like oh i'll all braid for you and I was like oh shit so we rip the bed sheets a k braids it up the way that the doors work and workworth is they're on a sliding track you know so the the seal can buzz it from the bubble

and it'll slide open and then you can either you can grab it with your hands and slide it close too you know so if you make a braid and go from under the door and put it around that little track that door can't slide open because it's tied you know and then there's a window in the door and they give you a cell kit right which is a little mini broom and a dustpan and a toilet brush well blaze took the stick off the the broom put it in the on the little edge of the window of the door and put like four books behind it so now the cell door is locked like it can't open it's tied closed plus it's like blocked with the broom and the thing right it can't open so aka's like what the fuck are you doing this for right and blaze is like you know i don't want somebody to rob us he's

like I think somebody's trying to rob me. He's like, I got to get the shit out. He was making it seem like he had the shit hooped, right? So AK's like, oh, okay, okay, word. I understand that. And AK made the biggest mistake ever, bro. He pulled out his ceramic blade, right? And I get what he was doing. He was trying to disarm the situation and be like, oh, check this. Like, you know what I mean? Like, yo, check this. He wasn't trying to be like, yo, I got a shank, you know? So he was like, yo, Blase, check this, right? Like, even let Mikey hold it. If he was on some tough guy shit, he wouldn't let somebody else hold it. You know what I mean? I get what he was him but in blaze's head that's all he needed to see right so i had these two picks on me they were like uh mikey had this bar and then you take the the shaver blade you know what i'm talking about and you use it like a little hacksaw it'll cut through anything you know i had one tied to the end of a pencil crayon and like just took me like four days but i cut through this fucking this bar right so i made

these two picks that were like this big then there was the two ceramics like everybody in the cell had a shank right so blaze had the first little ceramic that I ever gave. So it was like this big and duh. And I had these other two picks on me. And, uh, AK's like, yo, who are you talking about? Like, who's trying to rob me, bro? Let's go and get them right now. He's like, I'll ride with you. Let's go get them right now. And Blaze is like, I'm standing over by the door because the cell's packed, right? So like, Blaze is sitting here on the bunk. A.K's sitting here on the bunk. Sammy's here on the bunk. Jay's standing over here in front of the table. And Mikey's sitting in this chair. I'm standing in front of the door. So AK's like sandwiched in the middle. I'm looking at, AK can't see me because he's sitting on the bunk and the top bunk would be blocking it.

Right. So my head is like where the foot rest for the, so he can't see me, but me and Blaze can see each other. Right. So Blaze is like, he's like, go get him. Go get him. And I was like, no, no. He's like, get him. I was like, bro. And then this is kind of what saved me when I went to a next jail because I was like, yo, on my daughter, bro, you're wrong. I think you're wrong, Glaze, on my daughter. And, and AK's like, what are you talking about, right? But it made sense later on, right? So he's like, what are you talking about? And Blaze is like, I think dude's trying to rob me. And AK's like, who? Blaz is like, you turn, boom, hit him with the fucking, hit him with the plexiglass. A.K. started screaming. Like, I ain't never seen or heard a grown man. I don't blame him, but I ain't never heard a grown man scream like that. Plus, he didn't know that we weren't all in on it. Like, Blaze just did that rogue on his own, right? So now he's thinking, Like there's six, five, six guys in a cell. And he's thinking we're all about to start poking him, right? So he's screaming.

And Blaze is hitting him, hitting him, hitting him. And then the plexy breaks on him, right? So Blaze is like, give me that other pick. Give me that another pick. And AK's like squirred out, like scurried out now. And I'm standing against the door like I told you, right? So Blaze stands up and grabs AK and pushes him against me. He's telling me to hold him.

So now I'm like, what the fuck? Blake's like, hold him arms. Pope. I'm having you too. So I fuck. I fucking boom, put my arms around him. And I'm wearing a gray Reebok track suit, mind you. This shit was fucking burgundy by the time this was done, bro.

So I got my arms around him, right? And AK's gang is at the door. They're looking through the window banging on it. Let him out. Let him out. There's like, bro, I swear on my life, there's like 12 guys at the fucking door. Let him out, let him out. Now I'm just waiting for the COs to come.

But this jail is so crazy, bro. Like fights happen and CEOs don't come at all. So, so Blaze ends up, I give him a pick that's on my head. hip, right? So now this guy's getting a guy with a fucking metal one. Right? So I'm like, fuck this. I'm like, I'm going in my head. I'm like, I'm going home in a year and a half. I'm like, I can't do this. So, uh, his gang on the outside of the door,

they had cut the braid already, right? They cut the braid. So I knocked the broomstick handle down with my fucking, uh, with my elbow. And AK, like, they seen me do this, right? So I knock the broomstick down and there's a, there's two buttons in the cell. One you press and it calls for help. And one you press and it opens the door. So I knock the broom stick off and I pressed a button to open the door boom so AK scurries out blaze never seen me do that so he's doing life i'll never see this anyways so um aka scurries out and the door doesn't open all the way so i grab the door and i slam it back shut because those fuckers are going to come in now right?

so i slam it back shut and blaze is like yo y'all fucking with me yo uh what do you say he said he said he said to the max or to the morgue and i was like i'm going home in a year what do you mean so i'm like what the fuck bro so uh blaze is like yo you guys are all pussies he's like he's like he's like d t's the only one that fucking help me not thinking like uh i'm the only one that just saves this guy's life fuck you you know what i mean like you just put me in this my track suit bro it was a gray reboc track suit i swear to god it was so fucking red and just soaked with blood because yo he got hitting the side of his neck like just a little one in the side of his neck but it squirted bro he's gotten hitting his fucking ribs everywhere bro but he's just having to fuck out of him this guy

almost died. He had a collapsed lung, everything, bro. So I'm soaked. Now, this is like maybe 30 minutes before count. Like, they're about to call count at 10 o'clock. And everybody has to go to their cell and lock up. Like, and I'm like, what the fuck are we going to do? And he's like, we're going to the max. You know, like to the max or to the morgue. He's like, you'll start rolling bogies. And throws me the tobacco. He's like, start rolling bogeys. I'm like, holy fuck. So we're all, I'm rolling bogeys. I'm looking at Mikey and Sammy. And there's like what the fuck bro i look over at jay and jay's like uh what the fuck jay was like the money guy with us you know what i mean like he's like why did i even come to the cell i'm like mind you i'm like

i don't even have my shoes on like i'm wearing my flip flops because i just i woke up from a two-day meth bender had no food in my cell except craft dinner because me and blaze used to pitch on food but we keep it in his cell because i would wake up in the middle of the night and eat it all you know what i mean so i go down to his cell that's literally why i went to his cell was to get food and just check on how things were doing. And then that all fucking happened, right? So I'm like, I'm trying to explain. There's guys at the door, like his gang.

Like, yo, what the fuck? Like, yo, you guys are fucking dead, you know? I'm like, I'm not even wearing shoes, bro. Like, I didn't know this was going to happen. And so they call count finally, right? And I'm like, what are we going to do? Like, what are we going to do? He's like, just stay in the cell.

Past count, refuse to go to count. They'll fucking take us all out. And I was like, okay, I guess. So they finally come and they're doing like the checks. And they opened his door and they're like, what the fuck are you guys doing in here? Dot it all. Like it's 10 minutes past count. Get the fuck to your cells.

Mind you, everybody had passed me their fucking things. So I have like five shanks on me. And the broken one was in the toilet, right? So I have like five shanks on me. I'm covered in blood, bro. But it's like kind of dark. You know, the lights off in the cell. He has the light cover.

You know what I mean? So it's like kind of dark. And there's five of us plus blaze in the cell, right? So they all, the Cs are like, get to your fucking cells. You're all getting charged, you know? and as like they're scurrying out because they're all down this way. I cut and go this way, right? Right past the CO.

I'm like, holy fuck. But as I walk into my cell, bro, there's like all these gang members at the door. And they're like, oh, you're fucking dead. As I'm walking to my cell. It was like the walk of like hell, bro. They're all like, yo, you're fucking dead. You're going to get it, bro. And I'm like, oh, what the fuck, right?

So I get to my range. I get in my cell. And there's a next guy. There was two banks that I met, right? I had Leifer Banks in Collins Bay that I was working for. And then there was this other guy who was a blood. His name was Banks as well. He's from Toronto Malvern though, right?

So they're bloods. And this was a Crip range too. So he's telling me, because we're across to each other. He's like, what the fuck happened? I'm like, well, Blaze just snapped. I don't know what happened. You know what I mean? Like, I was not involved in this.

So nobody, the CEOs don't know that anything happened. They don't know yet, you know? Like, AK went to his fucking cell and like was going to try and hug it out until like, he almost died you know and then they had to bring him to medical and shit so he's like uh the next morning they still don't know nothing's happened they let us out an hour early before everybody else because i was so was suboxic so was so was mike jay was the only one that wasn't so they let us all out we all meet in the suboxin room right i didn't sleep a wink that night i put on all my clothes i put on like three pairs of pants like four shirts my good shoes because like i knew i was like

fuck this i'm not staying in this jail i'm doing something to get taken out of here you know so We all meet up in Suboxin in the morning. And Blaze and Sammy, they both have their shanks on them. And I'm like, what the fuck you need those for us? Like I thought that we were like, what are we going to do? And Blaze is like, yo, I don't care if anybody says that we checked in or not. He's like, we'll do it solid. She's like a solid check in, bro.

He's like, the first person that comes around that corner, we're jumping them and they'll take us. And I was like, fuck. I was like, all right, whatever. It's better than fucking dying. So first person that walks around the corner is my buddy Tino. the guy's like a hundred pounds i'm like no no no we can't blaze no like we can't he's like he's all right all right because like we would have killed this guy you know what i mean he was just like he yeah yeah no so the next side that comes around the corner is this native guy conrad he's like

kind of like the same size of blaze and blaze's like yo this dude owes me money walks up wham one punches him right drops him and sammy start beating on this guy right i kick him one time sure enough the ceos don't see me do anything they come and they spray Blaze and Sammy and Mikey cut back to his cell. Mikey didn't want no parts of it. So they take Blaze and Sammy and I was supposed to be part of it. And they make me go back to my cell, bro. So now I'm in my cell, locked in myself.

And I'm like, I'm telling the seal, I'm like, I got to go. I got to go. And they're like, why? Are you in danger? Why? And I was like, I got to go, bro. I was like, I was part of what just happened. And they're like, no, you weren't?

And I was like, I kicked him in the face. Yes, I was. And they're like, what the fuck? They're like, we got to figure this out, right? So they locked me in my cell. I'm in my cell from seven in the morning all the way until 9.30 at night when they finally took me. So, and everybody else on the unit is unlocked. So these guys are coming to my door all day long.

Bro, they're trying to tell me like, you're done. Right? Yeah, bro. Like half of them were saying that. And then they almost got me because the one guy was like, he's like, yo, bro. He's like, Ake is my best friend. He's like, I talk to him. He's like, he knows that you tried to stop it, that you had nothing to do with it.

But in my head, I'm like, I'm like, even know that that's true, I still. I still held him. I still gave Blaze the shank, and they're not going to forget that. I was like, they can't get to anybody else. They're going to have to get to me, you know,

like they're going to get to me because this is jail. It doesn't matter. Like they're, they want their retribution some way, you know? They want Blaze to get word that I got fucked up.

You know what I mean? Like, so I'm like, nah. And they're like, they're like, yo, just come out yourself, come out yourself. And then the one dude,

he's like, he's like, yo, Arab, Arob is running the range. And he says, everything is good, you're good. And I was like, oh, yeah. So why was ARA just at my cell telling me I was going to get killed then? And he's like, he looks at ARAB and he's like,

yo, what the fuck, bro? And I was like, yo, you guys are just trying to play me. Fuck that, bro. So, so I sat in my chair, bro. Like, I put my chair at the back of the cell and I had two shanks in my hand, bro. And I sat like this because I was like, for some reason, because you know, the COs are crooked and workworth. You can even look it up. A bunch of CEOs just got fired. Um, yo, I just got pulled out of my job. I went to, I'll tell you this in a minute. So I'm sitting there with two shanks. I'm waiting for that door to open. I'm like, fuck, man, fuck, right?

So finally, night time comes, right? It's like 9.30 at night. And I press the emergency button. I'm like, fuck this. Press the emergency button. So the CEO comes running to myself. She's like, what's wrong? What's wrong?

And I was like, I need to leave. She's like, why? Like, were you part of what happened to that guy that got? I'm done. And I was like, fuck it. Yes. I was like, I need to leave. So finally, they brought me to a transition.

range, right? Which was full of guys from Winnipeg. That range almost popped off too right before I got transferred. I was on that range for like three months. I seen a couple guys get robbed for all their shit. Like everybody's walking around with a shank. And it's such a smaller range. But it's outside on the units.

They call it PC, right? But like, fuck them. I don't really care. I need to get the fuck out of there. So I was there for, I don't know, a couple weeks. Maybe like, I think at max, So I was on that range for like two and a half months-ish. And I was trying to stay there because I only had like a little over a year left.

And I was like, oh, this range is small. I was like, yeah, like there's a lot of shit going on. But none of it involves me. You know what I mean? Like I was like, maybe I should try to stay here. My PEO's like you can't. She's like, I can sign you to Beaver Creek right now, which is like low medium. And I was like low.

Yeah. Why am I not on the bus? Right. I was like, yeah, let's go. Right. So they sent me to Beaver Creek. I get there. It's a fucking.

Driftwood jail. I didn't know that. And the guy that just got spoke is a Driftwood Crip, right? So I get there and they put me on horizon. So Beaver Creek is like, it's living units. It's not cells. It looks like my apartment kind of. You know what I mean? Like you walk on and the range is an apartment. There's bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room. You know what I mean? And but there's like a max unit there too, which looks exactly like Collins Bay. It's all cells and shit but like the doors are open all day long except for count the three counts a day other than that not you can walk around the whole campus go to the library you know what i mean like you can go anywhere it's that you just can't go on to other units but guys i like i snuck on a different unit

and got this tattoo done like it's supposed to be a cover up i paid for it all and then they fucking i got transferred out of there but um anyways so i get there and i walk on horizon and i still have my mattress on my fucking shoulder right and the ceo's like about to give me my key and this girl, we call her Mama June. She looked like Honey Boo Boo Mom. Like, she like, just this big fucking whale-looking bitch, and she is out to terrorize you. If you're in a good day, she wants you to have a bad day.

She's fucking terrible, bro. And she admits it, too. She's like, I get a kick out of, like, fucking with you guys. You know what I mean? Like, she just should not be a CEO. She's fucked. So anyways, she's about to give me my key. And there's a guy named Weezy and a guy named Cosmo.

And Weezy end up being my dog, but, he calls me over. They call me over to the laundry room. And this CO's like, come on, let him put his stuff down first. And that's right when I knew, I was like, okay, this place looks really nice, but this place is corrupt, you know? So they pull me into the laundry room and they're like, where'd you come from? I was like, workworth. They're like, oh, yeah?

They're like, what's your name? I was like, DT. They're like, so you know that Somalian guy, AK? And I was like, so I just told the story. I was like, yo, listen, my celly tweaked out. I didn't know that it was going to happen. I was like, and I never said that I held him. I was like, he pushed me again.

He pushed A.K. against me. And I was trapped against him in the door. So it looked like I was holding him. You know what I mean? And I was like, I was like, I'm the one that press the button to let him out. I was like, yo, if you can get a hold of anybody at Workworth, tell them, ask A.K. I literally tried to stop it. I told Blaze like I didn't think that he was trying to rob us.

You know what you mean? And so I was on thin ice there for a couple days. And then I ended up being on the same range as Weezy. So I was like, this can't get any fucking worse right now, you know? So Weezy comes out one day And he's like, you want a job And I was like, what? He's like, you want a range job?

And I was like, fuck yeah Because you know, you get your 36 bucks a week. But if you don't work, you get $12 a week. You know what I mean? Or sorry, every two weeks. So he's like, you want a range job? And I was like, yeah, for sure. So he's like, I'll make you the range cleaner.

And he's like, I talked to banks last night. And I was like, which one? And he's like, work worth. He's like, you're good, eh? And I was like, all right. Like, I appreciate it. He's like, he's like, oh, like, you're good. He's like, you saved my boy.

And I was like, thank fuck. If you only knew. You know, like, but I really did save him, but I also did hold him. You know, like, but, um, so, yeah, I, I go out and buddy Jay that was in the cell when this stuff happened, right? Well, Jay had ended up getting beat up at Workworth over that shit. So he got transferred as well. And he was in Beaver Creek. and Sammy ended up in Beaver Creek as well, like the one that, um,

jumped Conrad with, with me and Blaze. Right. So Blaze ended up like saying like it was all him, whatever. So they let Sammy go to, Beaver Creek. So the three of us ended up together, right?

Well, Jay, like I told you, he was the money guy. He had a little cell phone. So he lets me use it. He's like, yo, here. Like you can go make some calls, bring it down to your range, whatever. He's like, oh, I got crystal.

I got bogie, whatever. I'm like, all right, cool. So like, we're good. We're set up, right? Well, Sammy, you the scheming fucker. I'm doing laps with Sammy one day. Sammy was a five-star blood from Winnipeg, right?

Well, there was this other guy who was like, he thought that he was a big dog in Beaver Creek. His name was O.J. He was also a five-star blood. So I'm doing laps around the track with them. And Sammy's like, yo, you know the password to Jay's phone? And I was like, yeah, like, I use it all the time. Why?

And he's like, well, yo, OJ will give us four grand for the phone. And I was like, what? And he's like, he wants the contacts in it. He knows Jay from Road. He's like, they are beefed on it on. OJ's like, yeah, like he ripped me off on road. And I was like, bro, I'm not doing that. I was like, Sammy, I thought that the three of us were boys.

Like, after what we just went through that should have made us tight. You know what I mean? Like, we all made it out of that. We all should have died and work with, you know? Like, we all just made it out of that. And Sammy's, OJ's like, just think about it, right? And he walks away. And Sammy's like, come on, bro.

Like, it won't be hard. Just, just, Jay gives you the phone. anyways just walk off the range and give it to oj and i was like eh let me think about it right which i never thought about it i went right back to the range and i'm like i went up to j's range because i was down on a and he was up on jay so i went up to j's range and i'm like i knock on the door let me go j here or whatever because you're not allowed on other people's ranges so he comes out and i'm like come to the laundry room we go the laundry room and i'm like go don't let anybody use your phone anymore and he's like why so i explained to him what happened and he's like

what? And I was like, keep that between me and you. Just me and you know. I was like, it's funny because because Sammy always goes to Jay like, yo, can I get some bogey? Yo, you know, like we're dogs. Let me get some crystal. You know what I mean? Shit like that. So for a month, bro, for a month, it was under wraps. Nobody knew, right? Well, they come up to me again a month later and they're like, yo, you're going to do this or what? And I was like, uh, I don't know. Let me think about it. And he's like, no, bro. Like, you already said that. Like, are you going to do it or no? And I was like, no, probably not, right? And he's like, for real? And then I kind of just went back into the range, right? And they're like, yo, what the fuck? So I go right back up to the Jay and I'm like,

go forward to the laundry room. Well, there's this guy Kenny now who's in there. And Kenny, like, was a big drug dealer on road, but he got into Crystal real bad in jail. So he just started ripping people off and making big messes and starting drama and like just was that guy that loved to do that now, you know? So Jay didn't know this yet though. And I didn't know that. And I didn't know that Kenny had bought in the phone charger because guys will charge you $1,200 for the charger. You know what I mean? Just for the cord, another $500 for the block. Like, you know?

So Kenny had bought in the charger. So technically it was their phone. So I'm like, you are going to tell you something, Jay? And I'm like, I don't know this guy. And he's like, oh, Kenny's good. You can talk in front of him. So I'm like, all right, cool. So I'm like, go, they just came and asked me again.

And Kenny's like, what? He's like, that's my phone too. That's my da-da-da. And I was like, bro, like, chill. I'm not doing nothing, right? Like, I'm like, yo, this doesn't leave us. I'm like, Jay's already knowing this for like a month. Nothing's happened.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm just letting you guys know. And Kenny's like, all right, I won't tell nobody. Well, about like three hours later, somebody comes and knocks on my range door and they're like, yo, uh, Vatos wants to talk to DT. I'm like, who the fuck is Vatos? And he's a lifer when he was in Collins Bay Max. He was running, he was the head of the Spanish gang, right? So I was like, oh, shit, okay.

Like what the fuck's he want to talk to me about, right? So I go outside and Vatos grabs me, bro, and puts me up against the wall. And I was like, yo, what the fuck? And he's like, yo, so you're trying to steal my boy's phone? Dada, da, da, no, no, no. What the fuck are you talking about? I was like, I'm the one that told him. Then Kenny comes walking up.

And he's like, yo, no, chill. What are you doing? And Votosos is like, what do you talk about? You said this guy. And Kenny's like, no, he's the one that told us, bro. Like, chill. And I was like, why would you tell anybody, bro? Like, what the fuck?

So I have to break the whole story down to these Spanish guys now, right? Well, OJ was the barber at Beaver Creek. There's like a whole like barber. I'm sure you've seen that in 10s, right? So OJ's the barber. So they go to the barbershop like fucking five of them, six of them. And they all have shanks on their waist and shit. And like they make OJ look like a fucking bitch, you know?

And I was like, oh man. I was like, this is coming back on me tenfold. Like there's, you know what I mean? I was like he could just, They made him look like a bitch when he was like trying to make a name thinking he was a big man in this jail. Now he looks like the ultimate bitch. I was like, now he's going to have to feel hard again and he's going to come at me. I know it.

You know? So I go back in onto my range and I'm like, yo, weezy. I'm like, can I get a shank, bro? Like, do you have a shank? And he's like, I fucking need that for, bro. So I explained to him the story. And I was like, listen, this is my plan, bro. I was like, I know as soon as they call fucking yard up, OJ's coming right here.

I was like, I'm just going to meet it head on. let me get a stick i was like i'm just gonna walk to his range and fucking deal with you know what i mean i was like i want to get it over with i don't want to be walking around waiting for something to happen let's just go whatever happens happens like but i want to have some protection on you right so he's like oh i got you so he gives me this fucking like it it looked like a letter opener you know what i mean like this thing was hardcore and uh in the bedroom there was wardrobes right well the handle for my wardrobe it was like this big chunk of metal kind of and it was loose so i unscrewed it with the clippers and they i don't know about in uh the states but in your little in uh uh

like um introduction package i guess when they give you your clothes and shit they give you these big wool socks for winter time i don't know if you get those there or not but you get the big gray wool socks here right and uh so i put that handle in this fucking sock right and i and i tied it up and i and i put it in my waist like an idiot right because i'm wearing my jeans and i have a belt So I tucked it into my waist so the bit of the sock is hanging out. And then I have my hand on the shank and the other thing, right? So I walk out. I don't even make it off the fucking unit yet.

Somebody's like, oh, DT. Sammy's outside for you. And I was like, oh, fuck. All right. So I get outside and I'm like, oh, it's good, bro. Like Sammy's like, yo, what the fuck, bro? Like, why would you tell anybody? And I was like, yo, why would you try and rob our friend?

Like, we're supposed to be like boys, you know? And he's like, yo, like, let's do some laps. And I was like, all right, cool. I was like, I need to go talk to OJ anyways. So we start doing laps. OJ comes up from behind me. Sammy set me up, right? Comes up from behind me and he puts his hands on my shoulders.

And he's like, yo, DT. He's like, I liked you too, kid. What the fuck, right? And I was like, yo, I'm not going to rob my friends, bro. And he's like, you got to leave the jail. Go check in. And I was like, I'm not leaving the jail, bro. And he's like, so what?

He's like, you want a 30? I'm not a gang member from Winnipeg. I don't know what a 30 is. it means you get jumped for 30 seconds and you can't fight back right so i'm like i'm like bro whatever let's get i thought that we were going to fight for 30 seconds that's what i thought that it was right so we're walking we're halfway around the track and he's like you can either check in or you're getting a 30 i'm like i don't know what the fuck of 30 is like let's let's get it you know i was like i'm not checking in fuck that so uh we're almost to the blind spot and and oj's

like yo paul come here so paul and the next guy come over right so it's oj sammy paul and i still don't who this other guy is to this day. But me and Paul ended up being in the low together. So we get to the blind spot, which is, it's at the gym and the entrance to the library. It's like a V, the wall, you know, you can't see shit. So I back into the corner so nobody can come from behind me. And I have my hand on that sock thing, right? And my other hand on the shank.

And in my head, I'm like, fuck. I'm like, I could use these and make shit so much worse or I could just fight this guy, right? But I still don't know I'm getting jumped. And I think Sammy's still kind of my friend, right? So I'm turned talking to OJ with my back in the corner. And OJ's like, all right, let's get it then, right? So I square up like me and OJ are going to fight. And Sammy duffs me from the side.

Boom. I'm like, what the fuck? So now I'm like, all right, fuck it. I go to pull this thing out of my pants, right? It gets caught on my belt. I can't get it out of my pants. So now they're hitting me, right? So I'm like, all right, fuck this.

So I just turtle up, right? I'm like, I don't even fight back on this one. So now there's four of them just hitting me and hit me, right? And OJ's like, he counts whatever times that on his watch. He's like, all right, that's enough. Like 30 seconds, right? It's done. It's done. So I'm like still turtled up. And I'm like, what the fuck? He's like, no, it's done. You're good. So I look up. And as I look up, OJ's like, give him another one. And Sammy kicks me dead in my face. Boom. And my head bangs off the wall. Right. I'm like, what the fuck? And they jump me for another 30 seconds, right?

so now it's over and OJ's like all right it's done same thing all right it's done and I was like no I ain't falling for that again like that's the fuck up you know what I mean like get the fuck away from me and he's like so so Sammy goes to help me up I'm like yo get the fuck away from me bro so I get up and I'm like dusting myself off and I pick my hat up and OJ's like he's like yo let me talk to you like we're not done so I look over at him where knocks me out boom I'm like what the fuck you know Like kind of like I hit the ground whenever I'm seeing stars. I'm like, what the fuck. So I kind of, he kind of like picks me up and I'm like, fuck this.

And he's like, let's go. We're going to talk to Jay or I promise you it's going to be so much worse, right? But what they didn't know is I told Jay about this the first time a month ago, right?

And I ended up in the low for a bit because that was the last medium other than the low and then it was out of province. And I only had six months left.

So they reluctantly let me go to the low and they said one problem, you're getting kicked out, whatever. But there was no drugs, no nothing there. So I started to sober up and I made a plan. And then even my mom thought that I was going to go back to jail. Like she's like, I'm going to come pick you up because I think like I want to see you before you go back right and like I thought I was going to go back and then I walked out the gates bro the day I got released and the CEO was like I'll see you again soon or whatever right and I was like I ain't never coming back here I went to the halfway house right nine job interviews nobody would hire me I found my boss at where I work now I gave him my story bro and he's like I'm going to give you a chance he saved my life because I was on
