Were you shocked when they...

Fuck yeah I was! Tell me.

Come on, man. What do you expect me to do?

¿Cómo quieres que reaccione cuando algo pasa así?

Pero yo no sé qué está pasando, me agarraron como si yo fuera un criminal, me secuestraron.

They held me against my will. They didn't even read me my rights until two hours later.

Hmm.

Okay?

You know what I mean? My wrist is all fucking swollen.

From the handcuffs?

From the handcuffs. Like...

And did you have any idea that this was about...

No.

...kidnapping? Do you know who Nancy Guthrie is?

No.

That's the problem. No, I don't know anything.

But you were like...

Where is this coming from?

How did they come up on you?

I don't know.

Like, were you just driving around?

Yeah. Working.

DoorDashing.

Yeah, you said you were delivering DoorDash?

DoorDash.

Oh.

How'd they pull up on you? Like...

Nah, I pulled up on them.

'Cause they were following me.

Yeah.

They were following me in Marana.

This... is this Santa Cruz County and Marana was down here?

Like, come on. Two and two.

And so then when they... when they came up on you, what did they say? Like, what did they say?

Nothing.

Nothing? Literally nothing?

Nothing. They just told me stop moving.

Like...

"What's your name? Carlos?" That's it. They put me in the cop car.

I gotta wait like two hours. I waited like two hours until the detectives...

to get here and everything.

Oh my god.

Well, but... when they finally told you this has to do with some kidnapping, like what...

what were you thinking?

Like, what the fuck am I doing here? I didn't do anything.

To be honest. Like, I'm innocent.

And you don't even know who the lady is?

Do you know who Savannah Guthrie is?

No. No.

I don't follow the news.

Right.

I don't watch the news.

You don't watch the Today Show?

No.

So this was a complete shock?

Yeah. It was.

What kind of questions were they asking you?

Nothing.

They didn't ask me no questions.

So they just sat... so they just sat you there?

Nothing, nothing. They just sat me in the car.

They investigated my car and this van, and that's it.

They didn't ask me no questions or nothing.

Did you get the other car back?

Or they still have it?

No, it's right there.

Oh, they gave it back to you?

So...

Yeah, it's like...

And they said you can go home?

Yeah.

And how did they treat like the people you were with? Your girl, your child?

Ah, I don't see none of that.

Yeah, honestly.

How is your family?

They scared everybody.

Well, they're all in shock.

I was gonna say, they scared everybody, huh?

Yeah, they're all in shock, man.

Wow.

Did they damage the house when they went in?

Yeah.

What did they do to the house?

They broke the doors.

What else? The garage door in the back.

Man.

Hmm.

So what are you gonna do now?

I'm gonna try to clear my name. I didn't do anything.

Are you supposed to meet with them again?

I don't know that.

I mean, I hope they get the suspect.

'Cause I'm not it.

They better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name.

And I'll be done.

'Cause look at what they put my family through.

Not just them.

You're on the national news now.

Not just them.

Even my parents in Tucson.

Yeah.

Your mother-in-law was worried about you. She was saying it doesn't look anything like him.

Yeah, see? That's what I'm telling you guys. Like, what the fuck?

Come on.

Why do you think they came here? Why do you think they came to you?

Ah... yeah, if I... if I would have known that answer, I would have given it to you.

But I don't.

So you have no idea what led them to you?

Nothing.

Nothing. They didn't give... they didn't say car make, license, nothing?

Nada. Nada, nada, nada.

¿Carlos, hablas español?

Los dos. Soy bilingüe.

Carlos, ¿nos puedes platicar en español para Telemundo Arizona qué fue lo que sucedió?

Pues me estaban acusando de secuestro, algo que yo no hice.

Y me...

Honey, honey...

I'm done.

Solo una declaración en español, por favor.

What's your name?

Una declaración en español.

Gracias, Carlos.

Una declaración en español.

Dale, dale, por favor. A ver.

What's your last name, brother?

Are you gonna sue them? Are you gonna sue them?
