"Nope nope nope. Me and this man was going through a back and forth over $20 that I paid at a taxi stand. I went to buy hot dog, me and Alfonso Noble. The lady is saying I didn't give her my $20 and I said "Ms I gave you my $20 because it is my only $20 sweetie pie." I don't have any more money, only $20 I had on me. And the police man approached me and told me I have to move from the spot and he cussed me out and I answered back the police man. He wasn't only any duty."

Reporter-
"So what kind of report will you make?"

"Well I will go and make a report that he cussed me out and I didn't cuss him out. He cussed me out and I didn't know he was a judge thing? He is out there and he is a judge driver and he is out there watching a hot dog stand and then he will get involved in things that don't even concern him and then he wants to cuss me. But anyways they will deal with the matter because the matter is before the court so."
Reporter-
"So you plead not guilty?"
