• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the freeway. But now she claims the man whose car
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: she plowed into is to blame. Okay, now, this is
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: despite her attempt to get a pleat that means plead guilty.

  Speaker 1: extracted from the mangled up wreck of her car with
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the jaws of life by firefighters right there on the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: one thirty four Freeway in Pasadena.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Now catch this.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: She was involved in a separate hitting run just before
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that crash and was driving on the wrong side of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the interstate. This woman, how did the whole thing unfold?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: This woman, Haley Pulos, spotted driving to a luxury nearly
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: three thousand dollars a night Malibu rehab after she plows
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: her vehicle wrong.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Way on the interstate. Can you imagine how fast they
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: were going all the while? We know the head on.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Collision was preceded by another hit and run where the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: actress allegedly rammed into another person, took off, and then
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: plows in to this victim on the interstate.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: The dui crash seemingly.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Has no consequences because she is lounging right now at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a Malibu rehab that offers gourmet dining, hot tub yoga,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: horseback ride, fishing, beach access and off site activities during treatment.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'mancie Grace. This is Crime Stories.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us here at Fox Nation and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: series XEM one eleven. First of all, take to listen
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to our friends at ABC and KTLA.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: General Hospital star Haley Pulos has been arrested for an
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: alleged UI, accused of causing a major freeway rent. The
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: incident happened on the one thirty four in Pasadena, where
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the CHP says she entered the freeway into oncoming traffic.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: She collided head on with another car.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Destroying both vehicles.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Pulos was hospitalized, where she was then arrested for DUI.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: The driver of the other car was also hospitalized with
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: major injuries.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Polis say Pulos was also involved in a hit and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: run crash before the freeway accident. According to soap Opera Digest,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: the show has temporarily recast her character. She was arrested
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: at the hospital and faces DUI charges.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But excuse me.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: To Jim Smith, investigative reporter with Dailymail dot Com, the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Soap Opera Digest no offense. Their banner. Their headline is
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: her part has been recast. What about the victims? Two victims?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I believe in one day Jen.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, I think I might be able to
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: explain why. That's what they headlined on Nancy. And it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: because when they reached out to Haley Tulos they heard
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: about this crash. She just said to them, I was
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: involved in a car accident. I'm okay, I just need
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: some time to recover. She failed to mention the fact
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: that the reason she was involved in a crash is
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: because she was driving drunk, possibly under the influence of drugs,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: and had hit not one but two cars like you mentioned.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to read it for obaidim because it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just so it's so incredulous. It's hard to believe she
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: plows into not one but two victims and correct me
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. I think she was going wrong way,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: drunk or on drugs on the state and plows into
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: somebody just after another hit and run. She hit, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: she ran and then has a head on collision. Quote
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this is what soap opera digest. I hope you're sitting down.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Quote Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: What she's either drug or high on.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Something according to prosecutors, I mean a snoopful. And this
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is I was involved in an automobile accident. Somebody wrote
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this for her and I'm doing okay, but I'm going
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to need a little time to recover.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: In your Malibu rehab seriously doing yoga, hot dug gourmet dining,
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: horseback riding, fishing, beach access and off site activities.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: What okay, wait, I will be back as soon as possible. Exclamation. Okay,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: just let that sink in joining me.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: In addition to Jen Smith, chief reporter daily mail dot com,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the former president of Georgia Mad Mothers Against Drunk Driving,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: founder director Cold Case Research Institute, and star of a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: new hit podcast, Zone seven, Cheryl McCollum the gall to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: say I'll be back as soon as possible.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: What Nancy, she's busy. I mean she's got to take
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: some time with all the horseback ride, fish and yoga
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: and going to the beach. I mean she don't even
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: don't have time to detail.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The biggest banner is she's been recast. Jenna Smith, I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: just trying to figure out what exactly happened. First, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: want to get to the wrong way on the interstate,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: because interstate to me means seventy five mph at best,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And how do you do a head on collision on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the interstate.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody's supposed to be going the same way.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this happened Nurn one point thirty in
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the morning. Now, what we know, according to the police
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: reports so far, is that she was driving on this freeway,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: she swerved, she clears the dividing barrier and crashes into
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: a car traveling on the opposite direction head on at
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: what we know so far as sixty miles per hour,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: definitely fast enough to cause some serious damage, and the
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: driver of that car was taken to the hospital with
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: severe injury.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Right, did you say impact was at sixty mph?
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: That's this car where the victims. Car was traveling at
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: at least sixty miles per hour when she crashed into it,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: driving in the wrong direction.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Joining me right now, Joseph Tremblight, Senior forensic engineer and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: accllent reconstructionist with Veritech Consulting Engineering, and you can find
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: him at vera Tech eng dot com, Veratech Engineering dot com.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Joseph, thanks for being with.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: Us, Thanks for having me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: What do all of these numbers and the space and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: going on across the median which actually may have reduced
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: her speed somewhat. What do you make of this?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: Well, the way I understand it, and I'm taking some
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: of this directly from Daily Mail, was that she was
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: initially traveling westbound on Highway one thirty four and was
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: involved in an accident that was less severe with an
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: Oldsmobile driver, potentially causing her to redirect in a direction
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: that would cause her to launch over the median barrier
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: and then become traveling in the oncoming traffic lane on
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: the eastbound side, and then at that point she contacted
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: the Kia that was driven by the twenty three year
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: old mail. One thing I did find interesting about these
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: photographs that were provided by the responding emergency personnel was
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: at the point of rest for both of these vehicles
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: was all the way over on the right side of
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: the road, which means that she probably was airborne and
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: traveling across the entire highway before she contacted this Kia.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: The damage to both vehicles is severe. It appears that
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: it is a front end impact biased a little bit
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: towards the driver's side of both vehicles, but the damage
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: is significant all the way from the front bumper through
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: the occupant compartment. And one thing I did read on
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: one of these news articles is that she had to
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: be extricated with the jaws of life.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly my thinking. In fact, Joseph Tremblay, why
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: do you have to use the.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Jaws of life?
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Well, in severe accidents like this one, what ends up
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: happening from the impact crush.
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: That occurs to the vehicle is that a lot.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: Of times the occupant compartment, the area where the driver sits,
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: becomes so damaged that, i'm sorry, the front end of
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: the vehicle, the bumper, and then both doors become so intermingled,
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: entangled together from the impact that you can't get out
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: the driver if they do survive a significant impact like this,
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: a lot of times they can't get out of the vehicle,
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: and that could be because they're injured or because the
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: vehicle itself is just so damaged that they can't get out.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: In the last hours. In a bizarre twist, the soap
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: opera star of General Hospital pleads not guilty to dui
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and leaving the scene of the accident, but her lawyers
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: are desperately trying to work a.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Sweet plea deal.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And now, just to add the toxic icing on the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: sour cake, she's claiming the crash was caused by the victim.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: She is insisting the case be thrown out of court
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and that the victim pay her legal fees.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Who she is a good actress. What more do we know?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You just heard Joseph Trembway state that you have to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: use jaws of life, which they look like giant metal
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: pinchers that actually cut through the metal to extricate someone
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: when the car is so damaged and disfigured. So she's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: not hurt, Jen Smith, I mean, the last photo I've
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: seen in this woman, her dad is driving her to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: this luxury treatment center after a.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Stop at Taco Bill. She has not lost her appetite.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: She definitely has not lost her appetite. And no, you're
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: quite right, she wasn't seriously injured. Obviously, this was hugely
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: fortunate for her that she was not seriously injured. But
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: we do know a little bit about how she behaved
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: when she was brought out of this vehicle. Now, these
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: emergency personnel, they clearly are risking their own safety getting
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: people out of these situations. And Nancy, when Hailey Bulos
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: was pulled out of her vehicle, she actually complained to
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: them that she was worried they were going to tear
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: her four hundred dollars shirt. She was cursing at these
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: men and women who were saving her, and she was
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: more worried about her clothes. She was then taken to
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: the hospital we imagine as a precaution and to be
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: checked over. And that is where the investigating authorities noticed
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: that her speech was blurred, there was alb ahole on
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: her breast, and they were able to make the determination
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: that she was over the limit. We're not quite sure
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: yet by how much. But after they searched what was
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: you know, still intact in terms of her car, they
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: found a mini bossal of tequila and they found marijuana.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Edible tequila and pot.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Wow, the car wasn't the only thing airborne. Yeah, Speaking
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of her very bad behavior after not one but two crashes,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: take a list to Mike Rogers takel There.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: Is a TMZ report that claims that after she was extricated,
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: she was not terribly nice to a firefighter, claiming that,
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: you know, her shirt is worth four hundred dollars.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Don't cut it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: Despite the fact that she allegedly just caused this pretty
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: bad crash. So the CCHP is now investigating this whole
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: thing again. She's been arrested for duy and driving wrong
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: way on her freeway, also.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: A criminal charge. Okay, let me get this straight. You
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: know what. Let me go out to you. Robert Crispin.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Crispin, private investigator, former Federal Task Force officer for the DOJ,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice with DEA and the Miami Field Division.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Former homicide investigator now at Crispin Special Investigations. Find him
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: at Crispin Investigations dot com. Robert Crispin. She cussed out
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: see emergency tics and warn them they better not hurt
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: her four hundred dollars blouse.
• 14:29
  Speaker 11: Help me, Well, I've seen it a bunch of times, Nancy.
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: You know, before becoming a federal agent, you know, I
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: was a city cop and gosh, I've arrested so many
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: people for DUI. And the reason they're cutting her shurte
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: because they need to look at her to make sure
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: she doesn't have any bullet holes in her Was she
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: shocked before the craft? You need to see if there's
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: any other injuries anywhere on her body. That's very typical
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: of a drunk driver to be argumentative. That's one of
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: the telltale signs argumentative odor of alcohol, bloodshot, watery eyes, combative,
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: all that, that's all part of the bigger picture.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, doctor Sherry Schwartz joining US forensic
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: psychologist specializing and capital mitigation. You can find her at
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: panthermedigation dot com. She's the author of Criminal Behavior and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: also the author of Where Law and Psychology Intersect Issues
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: in Legal Psychology. On Twitter at trial dot doctor Sherry Schwartz,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Okay, you'd think she
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: would have stopped after the first crash, that hit and run,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: But no, the thought of stopping and checking on that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: victim that did not occur to her. She continued on
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to have a head on collision with another driver and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: then have the wherewithal not.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: To ask about, Oh, my stars, is that guy hurt?
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: You?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Damn well?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Better not cut my four hundred dollars blouse, b I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: mean that's what I.
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: Yes, And I hope it's on body cam so that
• 16:03
  Speaker 12: everybody can see it in court because that'll be extra special.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Well is that your medical diagnosis? That will be extra special?
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: Because I really like that this is and I do mitigation,
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: as you know, Nancy, and these these are the kinds
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: of crimes that I won't touch because it's completely preventable.
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: And here is someone that has to be removed from
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: her own vehicle with the jaws of life. And I've
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: never seen this happen, but I imagine it takes some
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: time for that to happen. It'll just clamp that thing
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: down and out you come, right, I imagine it takes some time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: And during that time, why is she not thinking, oh,
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: oh my goodness, like, am I going to survive? Is
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: the victim going to survive?
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: You know?
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: Am I going to get into trouble? No, she's worried
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: about her four hundred dollars blouse. And she was so
• 16:53
  Speaker 12: aggressive according to what I read that she had to
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: be sedated at the hospital because she was even aggressive
• 16:59
  Speaker 12: with hospital that And what we know, what the psychology
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: research shows us about this type of behavior is that
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: the alcohol tends to amplify trait behavior. So this is
• 17:10
  Speaker 12: somebody who likely has issues with aggression.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Jared Farantina is joining US veteran homicide prosecutor.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: You can find them on.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Facebook and Insta Jared Farantina, jareded really tequila and Edible's pot.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And she's worried about her four hundred dollars blouse and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: becomes abusive, cursing out the amts trying to get her
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: out of her car with the jaws of life.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: Well, Nancy, it's Haley's world and we're all just living
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: in it. That's the attitude that I get here. She
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: has alcohol, marijuana, edibles. If it was truly a hit
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: and run too, I mean, she could have been, and
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: the details of this haven't come out. She could have
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: been blacked out behind the wheels. So she got to
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: a point where she is so out of her mind
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: on whatever she's intoxicated on that she is not even
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: in touch with reality, has the hit and run Kareem's
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: into the oncoming lane and causes these very, very bad
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: injuries to this young man. So her conduct before is
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: a series of bad decisions. If she wasn't passed out,
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: it was a hit and run, she didn't render aid
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: to somebody, and she Kareems into that oncoming lane. It's
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: one intentional act and bad decision after another by Haley.
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: And then after the accident, mistreats emergency personnel and was combative.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: At the hospital.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: Just a bad actress all the way around.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: One of those amts had to say, no good day
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: goes unpunished.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Is that Cheryl McCollum jumping in?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, Sam, go ahead, But I just want to tell
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you before you say one more word. As your lawyer,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: let me advise you that pulos Is stay at the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Malibu Rehab could cost nearly thirty thousand dollars.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Alcohol makes you more of who you are. So if
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: you drink and want to fight everybody in the bar,
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: that's who you are. If you get drunk and want
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: to sleep with a perfect stranger, that's who you are
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: at your core. Alcohol does not change you. Most people
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: drink so they can do these things. So like when
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: a woman says, oh, he's good to me until he
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: starts drinking and then he beats me. No, he drinks
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: so he can beat you. So there's a difference when
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: you look at somebody that has cost thousands of dollars
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: worth of damage in these vehicles cost thousands of dollars
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: versus worth of you know, rescue equipment and that time,
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: and she's worried about a four hundred dollars shirt. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: everybody loves firefighters. They know how to diffuse the situation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: They call you by your first name, they try to
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: calm you down. They are literally only there to help,
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: and you're going to try to punch one of them.
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: That's who you are.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace in the Last Days of
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: General Hospital soap opera star Helly Pullos, who caused a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: horrible crash driving under the influence and going the wrong
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: way on the interstate right after a separate hit and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: run incident, now blames the victim.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: What happened, Cheryl McCollum.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier that very often people behave when they're
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: drunk the way that they secretly want to behave. Why
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: does everybody have to get drunk and then attack the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: cop or in Pulos's case, the firefighter.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I think at that point they can't
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: hide who they are because they're intoxicated. So again, when
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: you look at this behavior, it is a pattern they
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: repeat over and over. This isn't the first time they've
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: been intoxicated, this isn't the first time they've driven drunk,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: And Nancy, the reality of this crime is we lose
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: thirteen thousand people a year to you know, drunk driving
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: crashes that are one hundred percent preventable, and even during
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: this episode of your show, one person will be killed
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: due to an alcohol related driving incident. And it's preventable
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: now that we have left. We have Uber, we have taxis,
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: we have Hey, here's an idea.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Stay home.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: You know, you can drink all you want, you can
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: party and have the time of your life. Do not
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: get behind the wheel of a car, you know.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Jenn Smith joining me, Chief investigative reporter for dailymail dot Com.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It really wouldn't be fair, But we're talking about celebrities
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that get drunk and have crashes, or celebrities feeding off
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: their own stardom that believe they can mistreat all of us,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: just regular people. Jen, take a list of our cut
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: nineteen bro.
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: Why I write them?
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: In America?
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: You got me in my hotel regularly doing what sir?
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: Let's Joe, you really got this custom the heavy broll.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Let me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Oh listen, can we talk me and you?
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: No, we can't talk another.
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: I'm not going to America.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Okay, my taxes getting my arms, so we're not going
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: to have a conversation.
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: No, you won't put these off my arms.
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: Or you beeping?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You're hearing Shia and he's not done yet. Take a listener,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: friends at.
• 22:51
  Speaker 14: AP you have president, don't give it about you, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 14: you're stuck in a police force and don't give me
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: about you. So you want to rest people who get
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: who asked for cigarettes? I came up to you trying
• 23:05
  Speaker 14: to be.
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: Nice, you stupid.
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: I came up to you asking for a cigarette. You
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: don't what would ask for a cigarette?
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: If I was racist?
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: Stupid?
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: I was asking for a cigarette. You said no, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: said words, and then you arrested me, you dumb me.
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: They got cameras everywhere, you dummy. I got more millionaire lawyers.
• 23:27
  Speaker 14: Then you know what to do with you, stupid. I'm
• 23:30
  Speaker 14: from it, you dummy.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Well that's the way to get your a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: cop on your side, to puss him out, call him stupid, Jasamith,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with Shia Labus?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is just the classic cases. Don't you
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: know who I am? And is a thing we see
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: constantly with celebrities Shia Labus, who knows what was going
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: on there? I mean quite clearly that is a man
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: not in control of his faculty. But it's what we
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: see time into again. We've heard of Shilah Bup, Alex Baldwin,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: mel Gibshi alone. That's in the last five minutes of
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: this conversation. There are countless examples, and you know, is
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: it because celebrities get to into a different stratosphere of
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: success and adoration and wealth where they think that they're
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: above the law, potentially in situations like this one involving
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Haley Pillows. The crime itself do UI is tragically not
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: a rare one. Do UIs account for thirty percent of
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: all vehicle crashes in America. But the difference here is
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: when a celebrity is involved, they almost seem to think
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: that it can't possibly be their fault or that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Somehow they it should be excused, like in this case,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the soap opera star Haley Pulos is instead of being
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: behind bars at a rehab a so called rehab in Malibu,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: they can.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Cost her thirty grand.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, the guys you were just listening to,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: some of them are technical legal term POC's pieces of crap.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: But it's always a shocker when it's somebody you think
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you really like. Take a listen to our cut six
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: from WSB.
• 25:18
  Speaker 15: It happened at this Walgreens. According to this police report,
• 25:22
  Speaker 15: Reese Witherspoon's husband was traveling northbound down Peatree Road when
• 25:26
  Speaker 15: he veered into another lane. This is where he was
• 25:29
  Speaker 15: pulled over. But what happened after that? Even with the
• 25:32
  Speaker 15: growing film scene here in Metro Atlanta, as residents around
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: here surprised. According to this Department of Public Safety incident report,
• 25:41
  Speaker 15: actress Reese Witherspoon was a passenger, her husband, Jim Toth,
• 25:44
  Speaker 15: was the driver and suspected of duy when pulled over
• 25:47
  Speaker 15: twelve forty Friday morning. The report state's forty two year
• 25:51
  Speaker 15: old Toth agreed to a field sobriety test and blew
• 25:54
  Speaker 15: a one point thirty nine.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: On a breathalyzer.
• 25:56
  Speaker 15: It was Witherspoon's actions, though, during her husband's arrest that
• 26:00
  Speaker 15: landed her behind bars too.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, and we all love Ree's Weatherspoon. What got
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: into her? I'd say, a couple of glasses of wine.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Take a listen, Raam, what do I just say you
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to this?
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: I know what's playing on. You're going to risk if
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: you're gonna.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Get a US citizen.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I'm allowed to stand on American.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Question.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I want to ask for you.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: They are not.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: I can American to get a car there this.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Is beyond you, beyond you part with me.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: Rap Rapping is.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Nothing against a lot.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, you have the.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Thank your order.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: For nothing. It brings to mind a friend of mine.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: He's dead now, Robert Crispin. Randy Schappani was a rookie cop.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: We would have coffee when he would show up for
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: grand jury and I was a APD. He would tell
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: me all about his wife, they just gotten married, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: how they were starting a family, and how in love
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: he was. He did a routine traffic stop and you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: hear Witherspoon complaining, why do I have to get in
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the car. Why can't I stand here and argue with you? Well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the guy that pulled over CHAPANI grabbed a gun and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: shot him in the head. Dead.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: He said, license registration. And that's the last thing he
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: ever said.
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: Sure, that happens a lot. And let me tell you something.
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: You know, the officers just trying to control a scene,
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: and when people keep coming up and they're intoxicated and
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: they're trying to be aggressive, and they're trying to they're
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: diverting the attention of the officer for his safety, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: he's turning his attention to the problem that just got
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: out of the car. I get it's Reeth Witherspoon. I
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: get your celebrity, but unfortunately, bad things happen to people,
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: and this is why she went to jail. Alcohol just
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: brings out the worst behavior in everybody, and you see
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: it in every single one of these celebrities.
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: They're all intoxicated.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: That wasn't all of it. Listen to the rest.
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: I'm now the.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Arresting and change.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: You know my name, sir.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: You don't need to know my name, not quite.
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: You're about to find out who I am.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: That's why I'm not wrong learning about you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: I've I've told you how things work.
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: You want to get out?
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: Get up?
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: In my investgation.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Episode, yes I do.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: Well, this was we had a all of the called
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: the structure Your Justice yep really, I mean anti American yepsen.
• 28:47
  Speaker 15: Wow, So you personally interesting?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it seems like it never ends with Reese Witherspoon.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: No one was hurt.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: And the case we're discussing right now, there were two
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: crashes on the interstate, one victim serious serious bodily injuries.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Well the General Hospital soap opera star Helly Pulos has
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: no shame. She's actually blaming the victim in a horrific
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: car crash that I believe she caused. Now she's blaming
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the victim all at the same time, trying to work
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: at guilty plea. That's completely inconsistent. How can you plead
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: guilty and yet blame the victim at.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: The same time. No shame whatsoever. We wait as justice
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: of Folse. Goodbye,
