Yeah,
00:20
I'm good. He says the car is drivable, but it won't come out of second gear, so I'm trying to work on that, but they're going to just end up telling it.

Affirmate, if they started direct, they're going to be westbound, south street from Sagamore.
01:31

Okay.

Negative. He was trying to get the plate, but he advised that they started speeding.
01:59
The subjects had stopped and were honking at them and seemed like they woke up.

No firm.
02:13
Did a white band turn on?

02:25
Clear.
02:30
Did mention anything about stickers or anything?
02:36
Negative, not that my caller mentioned.
02:43
If we could try, call one on back there, it looks like there's a 2025 sticker in the top of it, like a grad sticker.
02:49

02:54

Did you guys stay on Columbia or go down Main?
03:13
Just put down main, I'll be a traffic stop at it, like,
03:18
Main and 9th.
03:23
Just that's how people of them.
03:26

For six, Warren.
04:19
Go is warm.
04:25
Holler couldn't advise about the 2025 sticker, but it advised that there was damage on the front bumper.
04:32
I think so as the driver's side.
04:34
This is more than likely going to be the band.
04:36
Damage match with that.
