- 0:45Speaker 4: in law enforcement to enter fraudulent data into the crime
- 0:48Speaker 4: Stoppers database, then have a person named KB to receive
- 0:52Speaker 4: rewards for tips. Two incidents detailed in the documents state
- 0:56Speaker 4: in late twenty twenty three, tips for two separate crimes
- 0:59Speaker 4: were a for crime Stoppers reward money, but days before
- 1:03Speaker 4: that reward payout was scheduled, Hutchison updated the database system.
- 1:07Speaker 4: It's unclear if she knew that system maintained an audit
- 1:11Speaker 4: history listing which user made the modification.
- 1:14Speaker 3: What we do know.
- 1:15Speaker 4: January tenth, Memphis FBI Field Office agents conducted surveillance on
- 1:20Speaker 4: the Crime Stoppers payout location and witness KB, the person
- 1:24Speaker 4: Hutcheson had been conspiring with pull Up and pick Up
- 1:27Speaker 4: the reward payment for both of the tips. Records go
- 1:31Speaker 4: on to state Hutchison and KB fraudulently obtained eighteen five
- 1:35Speaker 4: hundred dollars in rewards from crime Stoppers.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Erica was running a scam from within the system. I'm
- 1:41Speaker 1: telling you, man, one of the greatest books you can
- 1:43Speaker 1: read is The Law of the Laws of Human Nature
- 1:46Speaker 1: by Robert Dreen. Okay, humans are such interesting creatures to me.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Because this woman was a police officer. She was stealing
- 1:52Speaker 1: reward money from crime stoppers since twenty eighteen.
- 1:55Speaker 3: You just heard what they said.
- 1:55Speaker 1: She was one of two officers a sign to sort
- 1:57Speaker 1: through crime stoppers tips and then give that information to
- 2:00Speaker 1: the investigators the investigation. That investigators documents, or that investigated
- 2:05Speaker 1: documents the usefulness of that tip in the database which
- 2:08Speaker 1: Erica had access to.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So from August.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three, the February of twenty twenty four. She
- 2:14Speaker 1: used her position in law enforcement to inter fraudulent data
- 2:17Speaker 1: into the crime Stoppers database, then had a person named
- 2:20Speaker 1: KB to receive rewards from the tips. Here's what I
- 2:25Speaker 1: don't understand. You are a police officer Erica. How about
- 2:29Speaker 1: simply do your job, attempt to solve the crime. Connect
- 2:32Speaker 1: with real people on the street. It's pitches everywhere, okay,
- 2:35Speaker 1: it is people willing to give up information all the time.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Have those people send in the real tips that lead
- 2:41Speaker 1: to real arrests, and then when they collect.
- 2:43Speaker 3: The money, split it with them. I don't know if
- 2:46Speaker 3: that's legal or not.
- 2:47Speaker 2: That's not legal.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Legal, Like you, all right, watching too much power?
- 2:55Speaker 1: At least you at least you can fall back on
- 2:57Speaker 1: the fact that, hey, you really saw crimes, you really
- 3:01Speaker 1: getting criminals off the street.
- 3:03Speaker 3: You're not making up things. Okay. This is disappointing on
- 3:06Speaker 3: multiple levels.
- 3:07Speaker 1: First, you turn your badge into a side hustle by
- 3:09Speaker 1: scamming crime stop us.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Okay.
- 3:11Speaker 1: That immediately makes you untrustworthy. And when you're a police officer,
- 3:14Speaker 1: you're supposed to be in a position of trust. There's
- 3:16Speaker 1: already a level of distrust between civilians and cops. And
- 3:19Speaker 1: it's because of situations like this a lot of people
- 3:21Speaker 1: feel like the cops spend all day beating us up,
- 3:24Speaker 1: shooting us when we are unarmed, unarmed are pulling heists
- 3:27Speaker 1: like Alonzo on training day. All right, we know this
- 3:29Speaker 1: isn't the truth about all officers, but because of things
- 3:32Speaker 1: we've seen of our own eyes and propaganda or should
- 3:34Speaker 1: we say copaganda, this is what we think in Erica.
- 3:38Speaker 3: You didn't make the situation any.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Better because instead of using your position as a cop
- 3:42Speaker 1: to serve the community, you have used your position as
- 3:46Speaker 1: a cop to serve yourself.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Please give Erica Hudgerson the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
- 3:52Speaker 6: You oh the day? Oh ye, So.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You telling me if I'm a cop, you're a cop?
- 4:14Speaker 1: And I got people in the street.
- 4:16Speaker 4: People.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I go to these people in the street.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And I go, hey, you know there's a reward for
- 4:20Speaker 1: turning in such and such of y'all can give me
- 4:22Speaker 1: some information that can lead to the arrest is such
- 4:24Speaker 1: and such. And then they give me that information, I
- 4:26Speaker 1: give that information.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Over the crime Stoppers.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Crime Stoppers uses that information and it actually leads to
- 4:32Speaker 1: an arrest, and then that person gets a reward if
- 4:34Speaker 1: that person want to give me five hundred dollars for Christmas,
- 4:36Speaker 1: A five hundred dollars for my birthday, A five hundred dollars.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Because he want me to go get some Dunkan donuts.
- 4:39Speaker 3: That's illegal. Yes, I don't believe that.
- 4:42Speaker 7: You think there's a police bribery agency that.
- 4:45Speaker 5: You can't take an take.
- 4:47Speaker 7: That ribery, but like, I don't know it just.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I don't let you to some money, Lauren, you right,
- 4:52Speaker 1: you you know somebody out here selling bad weeds or
- 4:54Speaker 1: something right so that weeds.
- 4:57Speaker 3: You know, I just wanted to be cleared.
- 5:00Speaker 1: So you tell me who these people are. You it
- 5:03Speaker 1: leads to an arrest, you get the reward money for it,
- 5:05Speaker 1: and you'd be like, you know what, I got twenty
- 5:07Speaker 1: five hundred here, five hundred up? That's illegal, and why
- 5:10Speaker 1: would you say weaves with her?

- 5:14Speaker 5: trying to fix the hairline and it didn't work, so
- 5:16Speaker 5: he had to go ball. So I understand your intent,
- 5:19Speaker 5: you know what I mean, there's no malice in your intent,
