"First of all, Jemoth basically came and he said that he heard that I have some items, which I told them that I had nothing. The man said the heard that a radio at my house. I told him yes, there was a radio at my house that I already bought. He asked me to take him to my house and show him the radio. So, I took them to the house, they got a radio, and that's basically what they got from me. The took my back to the police station, and Jemoth started reading out all kinds of missing stuff from a house near Honey Bee's. He asked me about the location of all the items, to which I said that I didn't know. He kept asking me about these items, and he kept asking me about some stuff. I told him again that I didn't know, and they took me downstairs to cell. In the night they brought me back upstairs - they had me from Monday - they've been calling me back upstairs, and asking me the same questions. They took me to a room and told me that they were going to beat the items out of me, and that I must talk. I kept telling them that I didn't know. Jemoth told me that he would pin everything on me."
