A cracked tooth Jose “Chille” DeCastro used his version of a “Southern” accent on Tuesday as he prank called an Arkansas police department after watching a video of a recently fired police officer assaulting a suspect.
The video in question featured former Jonesboro, Arkansas, police officer Joseph Harris, who was fired after attacking a prisoner he was transporting from a hospital back to the jail when the prisoner wrapped his seatbelt around his own neck in a suicide attempt.
Harris saw the prisoner’s attempt, stopped his vehicle and punched and elbowed the prisoner while attempting to stop the man’s attempt to harm himself. Once the man was released from the seat belt, he slammed the door on the man’s head, rendering him unconscious.
DeCastro put on his fake southern accent as he spoke to a Sergeant at the Jonesboro police department, claiming to be a police supporter and demanding the arrest of the former police officer for assault.
The YouTuber played dumb as the Sergent explained that the officer did not commit assault, he instead committed battery under Arkansas law. DeCastro exaggeratedly argued that assault was indeed the charge and lied that his non-existent wife called the police and had him arrested for beating up his brother-in-law after showing police the video of the incident.
Explaining that was not possible under Arkansas law, the Sergeant explained that an arrest can’t be made by video alone. It must be backed by an arrest warrant. DeCastro then demanded that the Sergeant arrest the former officer for the “assault,” which again the Sergeant explained that he could not arrest someone for battery based on video evidence alone.
DeCastro eventually gave up on the call, proclaiming victory to his 220 live viewers (out of 614,000 subscribers).
In other DeCastro news, Judge Andrew Gordon granted DeCastro’s request for a briefing schedule for Michael Mee to file an updated response to the pending Motion for Summary Judgment on Tuesday on his behalf.
Mee now has until August 23, 2024, to file his updated response to the motion, with the defense having until August 30, 2024, to file their response.
