(upbeat music)
Dominic Vopey.
How are ya?
Okay, this is a speeding charge,
and you were caught on camera driving the--
wait a minute, wait--
She was driving, Your Honor.
Here I am, I was driving.
The cars registered under Dominic but she was driving.
Now, what is your name?
William Vopey. William.
They call me Billy, yeah.
You look to me like a guy that's, like, pretty good,
that can handle himself, right?
I was professional.
Let me finish, all right? Before you go on the attack.
So I see-- Inspector Quinn, I look at this guy
and say, you know, I don't like to use this term,
but its called like a stand up guy.
You appear to me to be a stand up guy.
Somebody who can get along anywhere in life,
and no one is gonna fool around with him.
That's you. Absolutely.
That's my view of you right now.
And then all of a sudden, you crushed it,
you crushed that view, right?
The first thing you did was, I called you up,
and you went like this, it's her, it's her!
(laughs) And that's my mother.
You threw your mother under the bus right away.
I figure, this guy, he's gonna throw himself on the court
and say, you know what, it wasn't her, it was me,
she didn't do it, right? I'm protecting my mother.
The first thing he did was
he threw his mother under the bus.
(laughs)
And your mother's name is? Pauline.
Pauline, all right, now take a deep breath.
You look like you're a little nervous.
I am, I'm never in court.
Well, don't be nervous, you've got somebody
to protect you, right? Don't worry mom.
I'm not so sure. You know what?
You look like somebody and I can't--
I'm searching my memory, you remind me of somebody.
You know who?
I know who, Bobby Czyz.
Yeah, I've actually been told that,
I had dinner with him once. (laughs)
Threw a few punches with him.
Bobby Chez was a fighter, right?
Yep. (laughs)
Let me see that again.
(laughs)
Do you see that, Inspector Quinn?
I've known Billy for quite a while, Your Honor,
and you were correct in your--
Yeah I've been a fighter, I went from boxing
to kickboxing, you know what I mean?
That's what I did. As soon as you did that,
Bobby Czyz would of did this to you.
One straight jab, right? That's possible.
A straight left hand jab, your guard woulda come down,
a right cross, I think you coulda taken him.
Yeah, that's possible. I used to spar with Vinny Paz
when he first turned pro. Yeah?
So you were a kick boxer?
I went boxing and then I didn't like getting hit too much,
so I went to kickboxing, so we keep people away.
Do you think you can take Inspector Quinn?
Oh, I've known him for a long time.
I have a different move. (all laugh)
Inspector Quinn, let me see your best--
That's the draw. It's the draw?
Like I said, I've known Billy and he could handle himself,
and I have seen them moves.
(laughs) He's seen them.
Let me see your best move.
Against him? It'd be the quick draw.
Pull the nine out. (laughs)
Well, I can see your fancy move
but I think as soon as Inspector Quinn does this--
Well, like, he's gotta shoot straight,
you know what I'm saying? (all laugh)
What do you think the odds are of going against the Judge?
Out of respect, I think he would win.
Tie your hands behind your back.
I think he would win, out of respect.
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
let me see your best move, once more, once more.
(makes karate noise)
All right, now if you come after me, here's my best move.
(all laugh)
Oh my God.
Had a few of them on the street.
All right, now I've seen your best move
and I've seen your best move.
I got you nervous, huh? (laughs)
I think you'd be too fast for me.
Anyway, Inspector Quinn, this was two miles
over the speed limit.
I think that, based on her previous driving record,
I think we're gonna give her a break on this.
How do you feel about that? The City agrees, Your Honor.
All right, based on the factual pattern in this case,
limited to the facts of this case,
I think we're gonna dismiss it.
Thank you so much. Okay.
She's been driving over 50 years, I think.
50 years, never had a violation?
I don't remember anything anyway.
And then you went two miles over the limit.
I don't think she even seen a court room.
(laughs)
Well, this is the first time.
Well, in all seriousness, you have a wonderful son.
Thank you, everybody tells me, believe me.
I'm sure he would do anything in the world to protect you.
I work in Stop & Shop, I'm a cashier.
Still working, she's like you.
Your son comes in all the time, John.
But I'm saying, 25 years I've been there.
25 years at Stop & Shop, yeah.
And people really mock me all the time, all the time.
What am I doing working?
You know, I lost my husband two years ago.
So I said, let me continue working, two days a week.
You lost your husband?
They don't make them like you anymore, right?
That's what they tell me anyway. (laughs)
They don't make them like you.
63 years married.
You lost your husband, now you go out, you go to work.
Right, right.
Because that's what you were taught as a youngster, right?
Right. Good work ethic.
Take care of the family, take care of the husband.
And now your still working.
I hope I live forever, they all need me.
Yeah, yeah, she's the rock.
God love you and I hope you live forever too.
Good luck Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, Judge.
Have a nice day. All right.
While I'm sure a lot of you were impressed
with Billy's kung-fu moves,
I suspect more of you were wondering,
how the heck did that tiny women
give birth to the Incredible Hulk?
Billy is easily twice the size his mom.
Is that even genetically possible?
Yep.
Let me present the five foot two, Mrs Ann Quinn.
My mom. Billy and I are living proof
that big things come from small packages.
(upbeat music)
Good morning, sir. Good morning.
Mr Pimentel, you were charged with
not having your headlights on in your motor vehicle.
Is there anything you wanna tell me about this?
Yeah, uh--
Well, before we even get to that,
you were due in court last month and you did not appear.
Why didn't you appear in court?
You Honor, I was in jail.
When I get out of jail, I live in New Jersey.
So you came up from New Jersey this morning for this?
Yes, sir, I leave there at three thirty in the morning.
You drove. Yeah I drive--
You drove from New Jersey all the way here?
Yes, sir.
Did you have your headlights on?
(laughs) Yes, yeah.
I'd hate to see him get stopped again, Judge.
Inspector Quinn, (laughs) this guy drove all the way
from New Jersey today for not having his headlights on.
I understand, Judge, and I'm willing to dismiss
based on the photographic evidence,
but I was just wondering if he was incarcerated
for this incident, or was it a different incident?
That's my only concern right now.
Well, he was incarcerated in New Jersey.
No, over here for six days.
You were in jail six days over here?
Yeah. For what?
They confuse myself with another guy.
They're looking for another guy.
The wrong person, they had the wrong person?
Yeah, the wrong person.
So they holding me for six days, it's taken.
And then they give me release,
and I walk back to New Jersey
because I had no money and I turn up at the house,
and I find the two tickets inside my jacket.
What are the two tickets? I don't know.
So I saw the ticket later.
This guy, he had a rough road.
Walking back to Jersey alone's a rough road.
Here's the story, Mr Pimentel.
You were stopped on Broad Street in Providence, okay?
They ran your registration and the car wasn't stolen
and it wasn't missing, but when they checked your record,
according to them, there was an active arrest warrant
in Texas so they took you into custody,
and then they began to check if you were wanted anywhere.
And they determined that there was a warrant
out of Texas for burglary.
Now, why all of this was going on,
you says that you wasn't wanted anywhere,
but then you did admit that, at one point,
you were in jail in Ohio. Yeah.
You spent some time in the--
Yep. In prison in Ohio.
So then, because you said that,
now they really figure we got the guy.
So they check and they find that there's
an outstanding warrant in Texas.
So the police did good work.
The police actually-- I mean, I feel terrible
you were in jail for six days here,
but the Providence police,
because of their investigative competency, and tools,
I mean, they had the right guy.
You were the guy they were looking for.
Texas decided they didn't want you.
Yeah.
For some reason, I don't know why.
So, really, they saved you from being extradited.
Yeah.
But now, we have this very, very serious matter
of you not having your headlights on. (laughs)
Inspector Quinn.
Your Honor, based on the totality of the circumstances,
the City (laughs) would feel a dismissal is warranted.
Inspector Quinn, I mean, do you really feel in your heart,
that spending six days in jail
for not having your headlights on is sufficient punishment?
You sure you don't wanna send him
for another three or four months?
Your Honor, I believe it's a seven day offense
but we'll accept the six.
(Judge laughs) All right.
The matter will be dismissed by the City.
Good luck to you, I suggest you stay in New Jersey.
You haven't had good luck in Providence.
No. (laughs)
Until just now. (all laugh)
All right Mr Pimentel, have a good day.
Thank you, sir, thank you.
The fact that this poor guy spent six days in jail
for driving without his headlights on, is awful.
However, an equally disturbing fact
was buried deep in the case.
After he was released from jail,
Mr Pimentel claims he walked all the way back to Jersey.
Lets do the math.
Jersey is at least 250 miles from Providence.
Assuming he was averaging three miles an hour,
and walked an average of 12 hours a day,
that walk took him at least a week.
Given the totality of his suffering,
I was happy the judge dismissed the charges.
However, on a personal note, I would have fined him $25
for the middle-aged man bun.
But, that's just me.
