0:00:02 > 0:00:04This prisoner's having a fit.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07He was arrested for violence,
0:00:07 > 0:00:11and now he's completely out of it. Under a doctor's supervision,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15he's being restrained so he can't hurt himself or anyone else.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Have you got rigid cuffs?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20To make matters worse, he speaks no English.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Could you get me a double crewed unit as an urgency, please?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The sergeant wants an ambulance.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30PRISONER YELLS
0:00:38 > 0:00:42When he was charged, he was sweating and shaking,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45which are signs of alcohol withdrawal.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49One man has brought every custody officer to their knees.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51ALARM SOUNDS
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- What do we need?- Just a few more officers to help out.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01CID, then uniform arrive as back-up.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05This guy is built like one of the entries to World's Strongest Man.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08He's had a fit, he's panicking.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Calm down! Calm down! PRISONER YELLS
0:01:11 > 0:01:16What happens in a busy custody suite when there's no-one left to hold the fort?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Is the ambulance here?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23This programme contains strong language.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Welcome to the Lock Up.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28On the north-east coast,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31the city of Hull gets its fair share of booze-related crime.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Of 25,000 arrests every year, more than a third involve drugs or drink.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45And most end up here,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49at the custody suite of Humberside Police headquarters in Priory Road.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56MAN YELLS
0:01:56 > 0:01:58The man in charge is Sergeant Pete Swann.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04You've had your say. I don't want to listen to you either, that's why you're going to a cell.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10He leads a team whose job it is to look after everyone, no matter how drunk they may be.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Wake up.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31Never have so many officers crammed into one cell to control just one detainee.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36And there are 15 other custody guests, demanding room service.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Sergeant Peter Swann has no choice. The lock-up is shut up.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I've never had to close the custody suite in all my years as a sergeant
0:02:53 > 0:02:54until tonight.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It's a badge of honour, we don't close unless we have to.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Even the paramedics have to wait for their moment. It's still not safe.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09We're going to try and get him on his side to get the hand behind his back
0:03:09 > 0:03:10and then the other one round.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Relax, yeah? No problem.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Have you had the background to what's happened?- Yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I think what you've seen there has been panic at what we've been doing.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26The difficulty is he speaks no English whatsoever,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28so he's got no idea what's happening.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Ambulance.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You're going to go to hospital.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41'It's a real nightmare situation for me.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44'An alcoholic Pole that speaks no English, withdrawing from alcohol.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49'With ten people all in one cell restraining one person,'
0:03:49 > 0:03:51you can't deal with anything,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54because there's nobody to deal with it, basically.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57So you just hope the same thing doesn't happen in two places at once,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00otherwise you're really up the creek, shall we say.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02He may be a patient,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06but he's still cuffed and strapped in case he becomes violent again.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Thank you, everybody.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Every man Jack Harry of us has been in the one cell,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18that's why we've not been able to do anything.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21The shutdown means Sergeant Swann has to tell his boss.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26While the prisoner is chauffered away in his own personal motorcade.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I think he'll be OK now, because there's a taser car behind
0:04:30 > 0:04:34and two officers in the ambulance, so yeah, it's all good stuff.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39But the tap has gone in the toilet during all the fun and games,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and eventually, it's overflowed.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46So I'm not quite ankle deep, but I'm bootlace deep in water.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Needless to say, when the prisoners press the buzzer,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52they're getting short shrift. Anyway, I'm open to business again.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I'm just going to check that to see if it's stopped leaking now.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00The longest-serving lock-up staffer is on the case.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Jill, the cleaner of eight years, with her Plumber's Mait.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Agh! It's just dipped on me. I bet there's a hole in that pipe.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11We're generally managers of the custody suite,
0:05:11 > 0:05:18so if there are faults, deficiencies in stores or issues with detainees, that's our role.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Feel under that side there where my hands are.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26There was a deluge on my hand there when you did that. Anyway, I will call the plumber.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Before I go home, I'll come and check again,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32cos I've mopped it and it's not dripping now.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Is there no end to our talent?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38She would be the perfect woman if she didn't support Hull FC, you know.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- JILL LAUGHS - He's lovely, is Swanny.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44We have a bit of banter because we support different rugby teams.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49So we do have banter, big style. All friendly, nice banter, though.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57The next customer through the doors is up from London for a mate's birthday party.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Have you been in custody before? - Yes.- Yes?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Brief circumstances, please?
0:06:03 > 0:06:08He was seen urinating in the street. He was clearly in drink.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And he clearly still is.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Sorry... - Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23What's your surname?
0:06:23 > 0:06:28HE SLURS SPEECH ..It's double-barrelled.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Do you want to spell it for me?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37That's one barrel.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Mullered?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So, I've got G-I-M-E-Z,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03hyphen, M-E-N-D-O?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- So, that's clear then.- Are you working at the moment, Ricardo?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Yeah.- What do you do?
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Investment broker.- Restaurant...? - No.- No?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Investment...- Yeah?- ..broker. - Ah, right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I haven't got investment broker. What sort of line of work as it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- Er...- Where do you...?
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- Is it a...?- Estate agents.- Is it the bank, what is it?- Estate agent.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Estate agent?- Try that.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ricardo has an international portfolio.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Do you speak any foreign languages?
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- I do.- What do you speak? - Spain, er, Spanish.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Yeah.- Japanese.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Yeah.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Italian.- Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Is that it?- Mandarin.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Mandarin, yeah. Any more? - And that's it.- That's it?- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03That's enough, isn't it? What size shoe do you take?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Seven-and-a-half, but I always buy eight.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Seven-and-a-half, but you always buy eight. OK.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Easy!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17RICARDO SLURS SPEECH
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- You what?- I need to pass wind.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You need to pass wind? OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- THEY LAUGH - If you need to let it go, let it go.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- HE BREAKS WIND There you go.- And that's everything.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Come over to this side for us.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Can you take that as well just in case you're still feeling poorly?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Pretty terrible, really, isn't it? Just having a night out, caught weeing in the street,
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- and then after that, you're in the cells.- It's bad, mate. It's not what you want.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Particularly enjoyed the answer to the shoe size.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- "I'm a size seven-and-a-half, but I'll always buy an eight." - "Always buy an eight."
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You need a bit of light humour, I guess, don't you?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Keeps you going, keeps you going. - Absolutely.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22At check-in, another victim of booze is on the way.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27One, two, three, four, five times in 2010.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- The list of previous offences goes on and on.- Once last year.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Criminal damage.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Public nuisance.
0:09:35 > 0:09:42DP has contacted police on 999 system as she wanted a lift from one address to another.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48It's no surprise she's been given an ASBO to stop her being a nuisance.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Her ASBO states she cannot call the ambulance service unless a genuine emergency.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00DP has called 999 and then declined ambulance services when they attend.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05And this is her second arrest for antisocial behaviour in the last 24 hours.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12Right, she's well in drink and she's been very, very awkward.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Shall we have in her...?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Usual in 11?- Usual en-suite.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Doof!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I'm going to pull you back.- Just put that break off and then we're away. - You ready?- Yeah.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Yvonne Jones has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Have you got any footrests?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Hello.- Hi.- Welcome. - Are you OK with your legs down?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32So, circumstances, please?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37She lives in a block of flats.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43She has an ASBO which states that she can't cause a disturbance to neighbours across the way.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46She's been banging on the door, shouting and swearing at the neighbours.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Arresting officer?- Myself, 224.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Hey, you, 2-4.
0:10:52 > 0:10:562-2, 2-4?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Hey, I'm strong and there's no way that you're going to get away with this.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And I WILL take it up with you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Is it because you've not got any hair?- Yvonne?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Have you had any alcohol, Yvonne, or any drugs today?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Yes, I've had alcohol, yes. - Roughly how much have you had?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Which is a legal substance.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Yeah, it's still legal as far as I'm aware. How much have you had today?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Two cans of strong beer.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Two cans of strong beer? OK, thank you.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31'I've been dealing with this lady for the best part of ten-and-a-half years.'
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I cannot explain to you how many man-hours,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37how many police hours, how many emergency services phone-call hours
0:11:37 > 0:11:38she's actually taken of our time.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Right, there you go.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- Stuart Constable has also met her many times.- Right, okey-cokey.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48All right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It looks awful.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58She's in a wheelchair, but when she does come into custody,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02she refuses to move, and also,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07she is difficult to the point of being obstructive.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Hi, Yvonne, how are you doing? How are you hurt?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- I'm giving you paracetamol.- Yvonne is well-known to the custody nurses.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm going to prescribe you...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22'She comes across as genuine, but she also comes across as attention-seeking.'
0:12:22 > 0:12:27She's quite bright, and I believe she's well aware of the consequences of her actions
0:12:27 > 0:12:33and she knows when she phones 999 that there's a good possibility she will end up back in custody.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But while she's here, she's got a lot of attention,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38she's got people looking after her,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41which I believe is the underlying motive of why she makes these phone calls.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45We've had her going up and down the street in drink
0:12:45 > 0:12:50in a wheelchair, kicking off wing mirrors of cars, etc. Causing criminal damage.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54A few years back, she actually was sat in a wheelchair,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57threw a piece of her own faeces at me, believe me or not,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and hit me with a footplate of a wheelchair,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and then promptly got up and walked away.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05This is something she obviously plays on.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- OFFICER:- Anything else...?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Only yesterday, Yvonne was in for abusing the 999 system again.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And that wasn't the only trouble she caused.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Well, she's claiming that she's taken an overdose of ibuprofen.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Marvellous.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You do know that when she told us, she laughed?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29We went and looked and there's only two missing from the blister pack.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I know, but I've explained we can't take chances.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34She knows the score and we can't deviate from it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The police escorted Yvonne to hospital,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39but when she got there, she had second thoughts.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Yvonne's had a change of heart and decided to tell the truth.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46She's told the nurses that she just wants to be dealt with now
0:13:46 > 0:13:51and she's not taken any tablets at all. So, on that basis, they've discharged her.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Only 24 hours later and Yvonne is back in for harassing neighbours.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Another breach of her ASBO.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02What criminal offence have I done?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I've not stolen a bag off anybody.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I've not hurt anybody. In fact, it's ironic.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'm two weeks into my diploma in counselling,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16and then I'm a quarter of my way through a degree in sociology.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So, I like people.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Domestic violence is often the result of over-drinking.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Kerry Taylor and her partner were on the lash
0:14:29 > 0:14:31until she reported him for attacking her.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Stand here, Kerry.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Good evening, Kerry. Have you been in custody before?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42But now Kerry's been arrested for attacking the police.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We attended in relation to a domestic incident,
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- and as I tried to move her out of the way, she punched me in the arm. - No, I didn't.- So, she was arrested.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Yes, you did.- That's a lie. - It's not a lie.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- That's a lie!- That is not a lie.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56There was a report of a domestic incident,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59so we attended to make an arrest, and at that point,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03the alleged victim didn't want us to make that arrest, I think.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Within the melee, a police officer was assaulted by the victim,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10so the offender was arrested
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and so was the victim for assaulting police.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Right, what injuries have you got? - I've got fucking loads!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Them.- Right, I'll put them down. - And that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Your eye?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27All right, so, we will investigate that matter and then you'll be interviewed.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Detective Coupland is on the case of the victim who phoned up the police
0:15:33 > 0:15:36but was brought in as the attacker.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- ..two in 13?- Yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Tell us what went on.- Right.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Sat watching TV, as you do, knock at the door, let them in.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49What have they said to you when they've arrived?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52"Is he here?" So I said, "No."
0:15:52 > 0:15:55They said, "We can hear him." I said, "Oh, right, then, so what?"
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And when you're referring to "Is HE here?"
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- presumably you meant you're referring to...- Peter.- Peter.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07But they did find Peter, her boyfriend of 20 years, and nicked him too.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Mr Webster, you've been arrested for an alleged assault on your partner, or former partner,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15so I'm authorising your detention here while we investigate that.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18He's also been attacked...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20by his own dog.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22A dog was set loose,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26presumably with the intention of biting police officers,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but it decided it would bite anybody and it bit the alleged offender.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36So there was now an angry victim, angry offender, angry dog
0:16:36 > 0:16:38and astonished police.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Start running round my house like psychos.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46With that, a little Staffie starts ragging on Peter's foot.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50This officer's accounts does mention the little Staffie.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Peter made a reference that he would get the dog off in his own way.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57He would, but they had his fucking hands pushed so far up his head,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- even God himself wouldn't have been able to move.- Fair enough.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Can I just pull your...? Do you want to show my colleague?- Yeah. - He's got a few...
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Oh, is that from the dog?- Either that or one of your lot biting me.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16All right. I'm not a biter, so... more of a lover.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Peter's not smitten, he's bitten.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Now, there's blood pissing out all over the floor.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So I stood up to go and stop the dog,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30and she grabbed my arm, twisted it round,
0:17:30 > 0:17:35and then pushed my head like that on the sideboard unit.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Hence this.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK. Which police officer was that?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Ugly-looking bird, hair about here.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Dyed gingery-reddy-brown and she wears too much make-up.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Have you got any special diet needs?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yeah, I eat steak every meal.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- Right, did you hit her at any point? - No. Violence isn't my thing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06She said that you raised your right arm,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11drew it back slightly and punched her in the left bicep. Can you remember doing that?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Well, I tell you what, I've read some fairy tales in all my life,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18but THAT takes the biscuit.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27YVONNE BANGS ON WALL
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Can somebody help?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Are you all right, Yvonne?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36OK.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39She's fully wet herself now. It's all down the front of her pants,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and she said it's gone into her own boots.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46So she's just sat there in a massive puddle of her own urine.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'm going to have words.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What more can we do?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Cos we know that she's... - Deliberately.- Deliberately doing it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02BANGING ON WALL
0:19:02 > 0:19:05YVONNE: Can somebody help me, please?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Now, Yvonne, what's wrong?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It's not the first time Yvonne has wet herself in custody.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, why don't you get that wet stuff off?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I've given you a boiler suit there to get into.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23You've got some new, clean clothes, basically, to get into.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Yes, but I can't... - Yvonne, I know, I know... No.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I know that you're not that disabled.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I don't know where you're getting that from.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'm getting it from the medical profession who have looked after you before.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm in an electric wheelchair, 24/7.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47- I really don't...- You're capable... You're capable of dressing yourself.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I can't even get over to the boiler thing!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, you got over before, didn't you?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- You were placed by the bench.- Yes. - And you got to the door.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Yes, but this one wheel, yeah...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03You still were able to move, Yvonne, cos we've seen you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You're going to have to help yourself.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10The fact that she sat and urinated,
0:20:10 > 0:20:15people might say it's because of her condition, but I know she can get herself on and off the toilet
0:20:15 > 0:20:20and she will use that to be more helpless.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22But it does seem very harsh.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Sarah's making us some cappuccinos
0:20:31 > 0:20:35that the sergeant's brought in in little packets.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39THEY LAUGH
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Bloody hell. These are really frothy, aren't they?
0:20:41 > 0:20:48We had a few problems with detainees being quite demanding, so...
0:20:48 > 0:20:54Sometimes it doesn't matter, there might not be many people in
0:20:54 > 0:20:56but they can cause a lot of problems.
0:21:04 > 0:21:12The party goes on. This boozer's been bounced for stealing a handbag at a 21st birthday bash.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Samantha MacLean was grabbed by the boyfriend of the bag's owner.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19OK, Samantha, everybody who comes through custody has to ago through a risk assessment
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- so whilst you're here we can look after you.- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Set questions that I ask everybody.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- Have you had any alcohol or drugs in the past 24 hours?- I've had alcohol.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- What have you had?- A lot of drinks.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Have you got any money?- We have, yes.- Yeah, some money.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- We've got two 20s and three 10s but we're seizing those.- Why?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40As evidence, to prove or disprove your innocence or guilt.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44That's a load of shit.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I came out with that money. I got grabbed by the throat by some stranger.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51OK, Sam, you are 18 years old or older and have been arrested for a trigger offence, namely theft.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I, PC 123, will now ask you provide a sample of saliva for testing
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- in accordance with the Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984.- Yes.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03The purpose of the test is to see if you have the evidence
0:22:03 > 0:22:05of the presence of crack cocaine or heroin in your body.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Yes!- If the result of the test is positive,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12you may be required to attend an initial and a follow-up assessment with a drugs worker...
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Just do my spit test - I don't need a lawyer.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Right, Samantha, I need you round here, please.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Just take a seat on that grey chair.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25We drugs-test everyone arrested for offences like theft
0:22:25 > 0:22:29because there's always a suspicion that they're stealing to fund a drug habit.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Quite a bright light, swing round and look into the camera for me.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I haven't stole anything and I just got...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Erm, Samantha, don't talk about the offence.- Well, I don't take drugs, I don't steal.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I've had a very good night tonight, apart from getting arrested.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Have you ever done a drugs test before?- Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So if you put that in your mouth for me.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I need your finger on there for me.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oh, I've got two babies at home.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01And thinking about them now, doing this shit, makes me want to cry.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03No, don't cry.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05'I would never say you're befriending them
0:23:05 > 0:23:10'but building a rapport so that you're not fighting with them is fairly important.'
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I mean, you don't want to be on the floor fighting with them to get their fingerprints,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17which we are legally allowed to do.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's easier to have a laugh if they're willing to have a laugh
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and proceed from there.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23When they find out that I am right and they are wrong,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26they're going to let me go.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Tested negative, negative.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Grab your shoes that you don't want to lose.- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I don't want to lose my shoes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35'There are drunks who are nice people and there are drunks who are bad people.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38'Some apologise, some can't remember,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41'and some don't give a damn.'
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm not convinced people can't remember what they've done.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48It is a good defence to having to explain away quite unacceptable behaviour,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52erm, when you maybe don't want to.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Samantha can't be interviewed until she's sobered up.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Do you want a cup of tea?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59- Do you have coffee?- I don't.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- I'll have a cup of tea.- Do you have sugar?- Just one.- OK.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Thank you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11At the minute, I feel like fucking shit, all I want to do is go to sleep,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15just wake up in the morning and go home to my family...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17and my kids.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22I ain't done anything wrong and I'm being locked up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It'll be a long night.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Time of arrest, 11 o'clock. Offence, burglary.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Sean Patterson isn't drunk but he did nick a bag of beer
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and then didn't come quietly.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40It took 50,000 volts from a Taser to get him this far
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and now he fancies giving the cops a taste of their own medicine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59He came in on suspicion of burglary and criminal damage,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03but the charge sheet is growing by the minute.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06SEAN SHOUTS
0:25:06 > 0:25:10He decided to try and kick one of the arresting officers,
0:25:10 > 0:25:16er, I've got to say one of the more pathetic attempts at assaulting one of my colleagues,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20and within the cell walls, his clothing's been removed
0:25:20 > 0:25:21so it could be searched.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Coincidentally, it's been seized,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27because he was arrested at the scene of a burglary,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31so forensic transfers mean that the clothing itself is evidence of the offence.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Fucking fuck-head!
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Patterson is very well known to DC Rob O'Neill.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Sean's been getting into trouble for years now.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56He's only just come out of prison, out 16 days,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and there's been a spike already in the area he offends, so crimes have gone up,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04his particular crime of choice has gone up since he's been out
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and it was the same last time and when he got sentenced last time,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10crime went down and virtually stopped.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12And what did he steal THIS time?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16All this aggro over a few cans of beer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I've got a simple job for you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22It's a lad called Patterson - nasty piece of work.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28He's in for burglary within a dwelling, damage, assault of the police and resisting arrest.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34It's up to the Crown Prosecution Service to decide what charges Patterson will face.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38The lager is out of date and she bought it last year.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43This is out of date and the box, the serial number matches with what's on the cans.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47CPS has picked it up. He's really positive, to be honest.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I think he'll be getting charged.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The CPS will make the decision on what you're getting charged with.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59And it's a long list, including criminal damage...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02..without lawful excuse, damaged a fence - value unknown...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04..Kicking his arresting officer...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07..Assaulted PC 2468 Stephens,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08a constable in the execution of his duty.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11..And nicking the beer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15..Having entered as a trespasser, part of a dwelling, namely garage,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17stole food and beer, value unknown.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Do you want to sign there, that the charges have been read out to you?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24You're not going to be getting bailed today.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27You'll be kept in court for the morning. All right?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34If Patterson is convicted on all counts,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38it'll bring the total on his rap sheet to 126.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Finally, peace returns to Priory Road.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02But not for long.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04BANGING
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Yvonne has managed to change into dry clothes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12She's managed to dismantle her wheelchair.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19What are you doing with that?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- Listen, you can get up. - I CAN'T get up.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I think we've been more than reasonable with you.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I don't think so.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38I know that you've got enough power in your top half to pull yourself up.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Let's see how you get on.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- No.- Yes. You're being difficult for difficult's sake, aren't you?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Will you help? - Get your fucking head down!
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Yvonne insists she can't get out of the chair unaided,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15but the camera never lies.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27She doesn't know she's in a camera cell, does she?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I don't know.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Not so quickly.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I find it upsetting to watch cos it looks like we've not bothered
0:29:39 > 0:29:41to help her, but we are.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43If you try and help,
0:29:43 > 0:29:48she will make it hard for you to hold her
0:29:48 > 0:29:51so she risks falling anyway.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I find it upsetting to watch.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58At the end of the day, she's done what she said she can't do.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02BANGING
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Is that her?- I would think so. Everybody else is tucked up.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Wish I was!
0:30:32 > 0:30:34By sunrise, Samantha's lost her sparkle.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39It was horrible, cold, noisy.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41You can't go to sleep and when you do go to sleep,
0:30:41 > 0:30:45you've got somebody opening your door to check you're still alive.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49I suppose it's the job, but it weren't very nice.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54She's still denying she's nicked a handbag.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I hope they do check the CCTV footage
0:30:58 > 0:31:00and they might see it ain't me who did it.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04They might see the real person who took it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08But they are checking the CCTV.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13There's the pink bag.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17There's Samantha and there goes the a bag with Samantha.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27They've got a CD of CCTV
0:31:27 > 0:31:28and I was on it
0:31:28 > 0:31:30doing summat I shouldn't have been.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I felt stupid.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39My face started burning. The camera never lies, does it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42A spur-of-the-moment decision I wish I hadn't made.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45That's why I'm here.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I'm a silly girl.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I don't know what I was thinking.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56You know what they say - don't go out.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's in the bag.
0:32:00 > 0:32:0412 months conditional discharge and £50 to the victim.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11There you go - room service.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Cheers. - I bet you don't get this at home.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27It's not a very nice feeling to be waking up here.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I came here about 9, 10 o'clock last night.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35I checked into the hotel, started pre-drinking at the hotel
0:32:35 > 0:32:42then literally, I don't remember anything from 12 o'clock onwards.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48That will be the two or three bottles of champagne
0:32:48 > 0:32:52that I drank before I went out.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58In London, all the investment brokers or bankers,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00that's all we drink down there.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I don't know why I was brought in here.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Maybe for drunk and disorderly. I'm not exactly sure.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Mr Gomez, do you want to come this way for me?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16In fact, Ricardo was brought in for weeing in the street.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It may not be his only crime.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Have you had a drugs test done before?- Yes.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I want you to put that in your mouth for me, put some saliva on it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Don't chew it. Get some saliva on it. Thank you.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40We're testing for cocaine, crack cocaine,
0:33:40 > 0:33:41or opiates, heroin.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51So much of it is a blur. It's unbelievable.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I won't be pre-drinking like that ever again.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Do you use any cocaine?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06When I was 18, I tried it.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I say that because it's come back positive.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- OK.- For cocaine.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23As soon as I left the hotel, I could not remember coming here.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24Did you have a skinful?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27You might put it that way, yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- You can't remember what you did?- No.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Or what you got up to.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36All right, so what that basically means is
0:34:36 > 0:34:39you've got to see a drugs worker while you're here.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41As long as you agree to seeing the drugs worker while you're here
0:34:41 > 0:34:43no further action on it.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- It's half an hour.- Yeah.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56The hangover is about to get a whole lot worse.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59We've arrested someone who you guys have got wanted.

0:35:18 > 0:35:24- They're travelling up to see you at this moment in time.- Right.
