MICHAEL JENNINGS: Hey, man. How's it going?

- Pretty good. What are you doing here, man? OK. They saying that this vehicle is not supposed to be here, and you're not supposed to be here.

MICHAEL JENNINGS: Who's saying that?

MICHAEL JENNINGS: I'm supposed to be here. I'm Pastor Jennings. I live across the street.

ROY MILAM: Any time we're going to be gone for more than a day or two, he watches the house. And he waters the flowers, if she's got flowers then. And he just takes care of stuff. And we can go and know that he's watching out everything, after everything.

MICHAEL JENNINGS: Oh, no, man. I'm not going to give you no ID.

- Why not?

MICHAEL JENNINGS: I ain't did nothing wrong.

- Well, look. Listen. Listen. I'm not saying do nothing wrong.

ROY MILAM: Pastor Jennings knew the law better than they did. And so I don't think-- I mean, it ended bad for him that night. But I think it's ended bad for the police department now, if it was just for them not knowing and being properly trained and everything.
