Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Monday, October 27, 2025. And I'm Woody Overton.
C
I'm Cindy Overton.
B
Back at it.
C
Yes.
B
Back in the studio laying it down. It's true. It's true. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO.
D
Hashtag just Ms. Barbara Blunt.
B
And hashtag just for Haley. We got screwed. We're going to do try to record something with Ms. Barbara this week. We've been waiting because the DA said they were going to have a meeting sooner than later, and now that's been two weeks ago. But they are saying they are not going to prosecute Brooks Cleary because of double jeopardy. And that's bullshit. And we all know it's bullshit, but we'll talk about it on an episode this week and then really call to action or after the episode, do whatever you feel like you want to do because I'm gonna do something which includes the episode. So we're gonna do more of hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag just for a. There's gonna be two drops again this week. And yes, it's because La Luna Bell Blue Bleu on TikTok and the the medium that's been given all the information. Y' all are blowing me up on Stuff that she's saying and people and what have you. So it's working and it keeps the pressure on. Just. I can't tell you the ways that it's working while the case is worked. Right. So we got all that coming this week. And it's going to be chilly here this week. Not chilly, but for us a couple of days of highs in the 60s. That's love.
C
Well, it's love, but for me it's almost unbearable. You know, I'd rather the heat than the Lord, please. But I love it. I'll love it in the moment of.
B
Well, I'm going to start out with something that I think you might find interesting that you don't even know about. It's time for worldwide crime. So you're all up into like the princesses and the queens and all that, right? The roles.
C
Of course, yes.
B
You always have been. What'd you say?
C
It's not.
B
Okay, well, whatever the, you know, the kings and queens, they have the crowns and. And the crown jewels. Yes, yes. Right. That probably the most protected thing in the world.
C
Yes.
B
I mean the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. Maybe a thousand years old, I don't know. Old as. And expensive, right?
C
Yes. And they use the jewels to. But they do. They wear certain pieces of jewels at certain times to convey a message.
B
These old ass jewels that have been worn by these other queens and kings and stuff. When you consider them priceless.
C
Absolutely.
B
And the security should be top notch for us. Right. Well, we're going to Paris, France. The Louvre museum. Yeah, I knew how to say that. Right. That's that fancy looking building. Looks like a glass pyramid, isn't it?
C
Yes, it is.
B
Well, guess what? The crown jewels were on display until they weren't.
C
Exactly.
B
You know about this?
C
I do.
B
Oh, I thought I was gonna surprise you. Well, because they got stolen last weekend, y'. All. And now they say multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of the crown jewels from the Louvre museum in Paris last weekend. Because according to our French law enforcement people, the Paris prosecutor Larry Bakudi said that investigators made the arrest on Saturday evening, including one man who was taken into custody as he was about to leave the country from the Charles de Gal airport. Right. He was about to get the F out. But the Bacao did not confirm the number of arrests on French media. And. But the Le Persian newspaper earlier report the two suspects have been arrested and taken in custody. But they didn't say if the jewels had been recovered yet.
C
Exactly.
B
Right. But the thieves took less than eight minutes this Kind of I would pull off. If I was gonna be a thief, I would have this down. These took less than eight minutes to steal. The jewels were valued at a hundred and two million. And of course that stunned the world, right? This high profile heist. So the crew of thieves used a basket lift which I used to drive one of those in the plants. A basket lift to scale the Lou's facade and force open a window. And they busted open the display cases and then they ran like a little. So the Louvre's director Laurence de Cars acknowledged that there was a terrible failure in the museum security you. So that's. They got the most.
D
Even I've heard of the Louvre and.
B
All the fancy they have in there. And these people just pull up with. We call them a jlg. An arm lift. You know. Extends the basket right up to a window. Breaking.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. Okay. Well we forgot about this. This could happen. But because said investigators from a special police unit. I wonder Inspector Kusu was in it. And charges of armed robberies, serious burglaries and art thefts. They made the arrest. She said the premature leak of information could hinder the work of over a hundred investigators who were mobilized to recover the stolen jewels and apprehend all the perpetrator perpetrators. Pacal said further details will be unveiled after the suspects custody period ends. I guess that's in France. He gets along the question or something. I don't know. The. This is crazy. But the French interior minister Laurent praised the investigators for their tireless work and that they always had his full confidence. Now the thieves got away with a total of eight objects including a sapphire diadem necklace and in a single earring from a set linked to the 19th century Queens Marie Emilia and Hortense. They also stole an emerald necklace and earrings tied to the Empress Maria Louise who's Napoleon Bonaparte's second wife. And a reclre. Bruce. Bruce Brush. I'm trying to be friends. Empress Eugenie's damandidim and her large corsage bow Bruce and emerald all I'm thinking.
C
Steve Martin as Pink Panther.
B
An imperial inside. Does your dog bite? Nobody knows that bite. And even race down the pen. The dog tore his ass up. He said I thought you said your dog didn't bite. That's not my dog. All right. So. But then Empress Eugene's diamond, her large corsage bow Bruce and imperial insomnia of rare craftsmanship were also part of all the shit they stole. Eugene's emerald set imperial crown with more than 1300 diamonds was later found Outside the museum.
C
They dropped it on the way.
B
Yes, and it was damaged, but they were. They got it back. So how about that just going on over there? I mean, did they not have security specialists in France, much less the Louvre?
C
Again, like I said, all I could picture was the Pink Panther.
B
They have a picture of this? Yeah, no, this is. This motherfucker's parked on a major street. It's a. It's a big motorized thing, y'. All. It has wheels on it and a big boom arm and they just ride right up to it. They got a picture of it extended all the way maximum and just climbed right on the balcony and busted through a window.
C
Do you think maybe that bucket thing was already there and they decided to use it? I mean, can you imagine just strolling on down the road pulling this thing up?
B
If it was me and it wasn't there, I'd have been so smooth and suave. I had a truck come in that was covered up and would have it time where my boys would roll it off and extend it probably takes about three minutes and get in. I mean, they took them like eight minutes to steal all this $100 million.
C
You've been posting some tick tocks and for in weird places.
B
I know, but my ass ain't get caught up in the Charles de Gal airport.
C
There' one thing I know you were not at is Paris or France.
B
Yeah, right.
C
That's one place you're not going.
B
I mean, what do you think you're going to do with those? It's not like you're going to go trade them for crack.
C
I mean, if you cracked up enough, you might.
B
I mean, if you break them up, I would imagine that the pieces lose their value.
C
I would think so.
B
I mean, but then how who you're selling to?
C
People have stolen a lot of things over the years like that though, that they have. No significant.
B
Maybe it's just some rich will want to steal them and say he gets a cinnamon in his room and have his coffee and reading. What is they don't drink coffee in France? No, they do.
C
They do. They don't drink like a cappuccino espresso.
B
That's Italian.
C
Well, but I think they kind of.
B
Do that whatever the they drink in France.
C
You know what they drink in France? That little nespresso pod that you had the best.
B
They drink. They drink. That's ridiculous. That's a crime. They drink Courvoisier. My daddy used to drink that. I used to get a bottle of that Cavase RSVP when it went on.
C
Salad Christmas in your smoker's jacket. Isn't that with the guy, the one on Saturday Night Live when he was drinking his Courvoisier? Didn't he have on a smoker's jacket?
B
I don't remember that. I don't do fine. All right, give them something else. Your turn.
C
The way I knew about that was through TikTok. They had a lady. They had a girl.
B
Did you fall asleep while you were watching?
C
Probably. They had a girl pretending like she was one of the heisters. And she was wearing like, crown, the crown jewels and say. And people, like, she went live and people were asking her questions like, how did you get the plan? And she was like, it was just a couple girlfriends and I, and we were watching Oceans 11 and it kind of motivated us. And so we just figured, you know, guys do it and they get caught all the time, so what if a bunch of girls do it? I bet we. It was just, you know, kind of funny.
B
Yeah. Okay, so if you say so.
C
I know.
B
I'm sure somebody got a chuckle out of it.
C
I did. I'm surprised you didn't hear me laughing.
B
It's time for family matters.
C
Thank you for the funny story. It was not funny. It's really bad, but you made it, you know, comical.
B
Did your dog bait. I always love that.
C
I know. Well, I love Steve Martin, but I'm going to take us to September 13th in Cleveland, Ohio. On September 13th, that's where part of.
B
Our trial was at this weekend, right? Yep.
C
Five year old girl was dropped off at a family member's home and later found unresponsive in a nearby field. And of course, it stunned her mom and the authorities. The victim had been reported missing after wandering away from the relative's residence. And according to the mother, her daughter's injuries were extreme. Her hair had been scalped from her head, her body was bruised and bloodied, and the debris and dirt were lodged under her fingernails. A witness informed investigators that three juveniles had taken the young girl into the field and brutalized her. This is exactly opposite of where we just were. But on October 15th, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office announced that two children, a nine year old boy and a ten year old girl, had been charged in relation to the attack. The charges include attempted murder, four counts of rape, two counts of felonious assault, kidnapping and strangulation.
B
Looking at the map, Ohio is in a moratorium on the death penalty right now, but they got it.
C
Due to the suspect's ages, their Identities are obviously withheld under juvenile law and prosecutors noted the investigation is ongoing and additional details are limited given the sensitivity of the age of the victim and suspects. So the victim's mother emphasized the long term emotional and mental toll on her child, saying that she was just, I mean she was just. She just wants a normal 5 year.
B
Old daughter back, you know, I can.
C
Imagine a 9 and 10 year old boy and girl did this.
B
Yeah, I don't know. I don't, I mean, I don't know. In Louisiana you couldn't even charge them. I guess the worst they're good is juvenile life or something, I don't know.
C
Do they take 9 year olds in juvenile juvie?
B
Not no. Well, it didn't used to be. 11 I think was the youngest you take but it certainly in cases like this you gotta, they might make an exception, right? I mean like I told you, I say all the time, the hug a thug programs place I worked at the the only took people in there that raped and murdered and armed rob and not people, but kids.
C
But what was the youngest age, do you remember?
B
11. Yeah, I just said that.
C
I know, but I'm just.
B
And, and, but I' certainly they got to put that nine and ten year old somewhere that did that to a little five year old. Fuck that. All right.

B
Guess you'd be negative Nancy today. And how about this is still negative, but I got another question for you.
C
Okay.
B
The world needs to know you love using below deck.
C
Oh, I do. All of them. Every single one. Except for sailing. The sailing yacht, whatever it's called.
B
I don't think I ever watched that one, but I used to watch some of those with you and I actually kind of liked it myself. But it's not must see TV for me. But the. I liked Captain Sandy. I like the white haired dude. Okay, Yeah, I like the white haired dude Captain, but Captain Sandy was the. And the Mediterranean. Right? That's what we're going to.
C
Okay.
B
All right. W. You don't know about this?
C
I do not know.
B
All right, well, I get to shock you. All right, so you know, you go on those yachts, they're expensive af right? You're the guests and you bring along your people and you get all bougie and they get drunkard and a lot of them and make ass out of themselves and everything. Well, this dude, you know, they have some of Those repeat customers, right, like the ones that do it over and over again. And one of them's name is Willie. Well, I'm sorry, Willie. William Billy Rodriguez. And he was a former guest on Bravo's Below Deck Mediterranean. And he's the CEO of Silver Crest Advertising. Right, okay, he was, but now he is facing murder charges after a fatal hit and run crash in Palm Springs, California. Now he's 47 years old, Rodriguez, and he got cuffed and stuffed and charged with murder and felony hidden run, causing death and driving with a suspended license. Then this comes from a crash back in October of 2024 that killed 60 year old Christina Barrington who he mowed down while she was on her scooter.
D
Jeez.
B
I mean, anyway, he of course pled not guilty, all the charges and going try to work out a deal or whatever. So Newsweek, we all know about them, that what they do, right? Good stories. But they reached out to Rodriguez's attorney, who's David Greenberg, but they. Greenberg ain't had dick to say about it. Rod Reggulas entered the public eye through his appearances as a charter guest on Bravo's Below Deck Mediterranean during season seven and eight. And during one of the seasons he got up Captain Sandy. Her last name is John. I didn't know that.
C
I didn't know that.
B
Anyway, he went to Captain sand and he complained about his experience with the creek. I'm not happy. I take too long to get my drinks. But anyway, Outside of reality television, Rodriguez built a reputation in the advertising industry as the co founder and CEO of Silvercrest, which provides automated marketing platforms for major franchise brands. But according to investigators, Rodriguez, he ran.
D
Like a little.
B
On October 11, 2024 from the crash scene as the scooter remained trapped beneath his vehicle. So, okay, I'm pretty sure they're gonna know. I'm pretty sure he's driving a Ferrari or something, right? And it's gonna come back to you. And you run over this lady, you know, you killed her and you run like a little bitch. Do you think they're not gonna catch up to you? All he's thinking at this point is my lawyer can beat this, that they invited me in the car. As long as somebody's got a video.
C
That'S how these can't prove that I was the one driving it. It was stolen, whatever.
B
Well, you know what? The cops did run the license plate and they began an extensive search. And also they started working the car that's linked him forensically. Right. And start getting evidence. Boom, you're done. And guess What? Unfortunately for Mr. Rodriguez, there is video surveillance which showed him visiting two bars before the crash having his Courvoisier RSVP. Prosecutors also said that Rodriguez left California the next day to travel to Las Vegas for the weekend. So, oh, here we are. I'm gonna run you over on your scooter, and whatever kind of fancy ass car I'm driving, I'm gonna run like a little. And the next day I'm going to Vegas to gamble. All right. So naturally, Rodriguez never reported the crash, and he told his co workers that, hey, my car was stolen and wrecked. Right? Well, he was arrested last week and he appeared in court on October 15, and the Riverside County DA's office argued against bail. And they and courts at the Palm Springs Tribune, and they said that Rodriguez's previous 2013 DUI conviction and his history of continuing to drive on a suspended license. Now, during his bail hearing, prosecutors presented evidence that he registered vehicles in his name despite lacking legal driving privileges. I'm pretty sure somebody at the DMV was getting a thousand dollars. Here's. Here's a thousand dollars. I know my shit suspended. Turn your head the other way. Well, the judge was like, you know, he murdered this lady and he ran, but, you know, I'm gonna grant him some bail. But he said Rodriguez was required to abstain from drinking alcohol, driving or traveling out of the state.
C
I think that.
B
I'm pretty sure he's sitting in his room looking at the crown jewels and a smoking jacket, smoking a cigar and, and drinking some cavase right now. Rodriguez is also accused of attempting to flee from authorities at the Accursuri arena when investigators tried to make contact with him earlier this month. And, but his, his attorney answered this to Kesq, said that didn't happen. Oh, but obviously he got away. So David Greenberg, Rodriguez attorney, said in court, court, this happened over a year ago. We're just in court now. He was just arrested on these charges over the weekend. So what I'm worried about and what I'm wondering about is why it took them a year to get these charges filed. Well, because your guy kept running, right? And so Greenberg, the attorneys, I know you love them continues. Said, my understanding is that there were police there, but my client did not do anything in any way to avoid them. He didn't know they were there. His tumble running from the arena, he didn't know they were there. He didn't know they were looking for him. So he's allowed to come and go as he pleases. Again, I mean, it's not against the law.
C
So lawyer.
B
Right, I know, right. And they all. And I grew up with it. Well, the prosecutor, Karen Salas said he likes to spend money and drink alcohol. Given all this information and his access to funds, I think he is a flight risk and additionally he's a danger to the public. He has access to yet another vehicle that is registered him and by the fact that he doesn't have a license and his history indicates that he drinks at that arena and then drives home.
C
Yeah.
B
Well, anyway, he's maintaining his innocence and guess what they. He got a pretty good bail. But not for him. He got 2 million dollar bail and he's due back in court this week. There you have it.
C
So he got out on $200,000.
B
Wow. Now you probably pay cash.
C
You think you've just paid 2 million.
B
Yeah, yeah. That kind of money. But I'm not gonna. If it costs them 2 million to rent the boat for three days. Yeah, man. Or the ship or what a yacht, whatever the they call them.
C
Yeah. They do have to pay full price. They don't get discounts for saying they're going to be on the show. I'm just saying like that little note, I mean that's.
B
And the I got, you know, we went. I wanted to buy us a boat, y', all, but not one like they do super yacht. So I want to have like a 40 footer the hot island hop in the Caribbean and dive off of and watch sunsets and drink a little rum and catch some fish off the back and whatever. And then we just got old. But our boat wouldn't have cost as much as one of these trips or half as much.
C
Right.
B
So anyway, that's, that's about all I got to say about Mr. Rodriguez. And that's two on the lighter side. But even though that lady's dead and prayers for her, two on the lighter side for me. What do you have for the lifers?
C
I had a story that I actually fact checked before.
B
Oh Lord. It's time for worldwide crime.
C
I have a story about penguins.
B
Penguins, yes.
C
So where in the world.
B
Black and white.
C
Yes.
B
Cold natured animals.
C
Where in the world would someone go if we were going to tell a story about penguins?
B
Antarctica makes sense.
C
Right?
B
Right.
C
Well, in this one we're going to Argentina.
B
Really?
C
And I was like, are you. I literally did a search.
B
I mean I'm not that well versed, but I guess, I mean I was supposed to go to Argentina to go bird hunting.
C
Yeah.
B
And I don't know how the you get well it must be a zoo or something.
C
It must be. We'll find out.
B
You thought you fact checked it. You ought to know.
C
Penguin in Argentina. I was like, whoa. Was. Are there penguins?
B
So you didn't fact check.
C
I fact checked the fact that we were supposed to be in Argentina, not Antarctica.
B
This is what you did right here.
C
Listen, I could tell you exactly what I did.
B
Siri, has there ever been a penguin in Argentina in the history of the world? Here's an answer from which there are penguins in Argentina.
C
Exactly.
B
Specifically the Magellan. Nick.
C
That's what I did.
B
I said I wonder what a penguin tastes like.
C
Oh, gosh.
B
Probably has a lot of that on tuna and chicken because they live in ocean. They eat fish to chicken. Hey, we're gonna do tucking for in a couple weeks. Yeah, I'm gonna be frying.
C
Well, tell people what a turducken is.
B
I think that's very stuffed duck stuffed inside of a injected turkey which is deep fried. It's love originated over by the Maurice City bar.
C
But then there's a chicken in there somewhere too. It's a duck, a chicken and a turkey.
B
Okay.
C
I thought to ask Siri, baby, I.
B
Know what a turducken is. I know they were. I used to drink at the bar where they were done. Roy Chompanze family started them. What is a turducken?
C
Here's some info about turducken.
B
Turducken is a dish associated Louisiana consisting of deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck. Furthest stuff into debone turkey.
C
So there's a chicken.
B
I said it was stuffed the duck. I didn't say who it was stuffed with.
D
I still know where it started at.
B
So this I was probably so drunk every time I ate one. Then they John Madden, you know, they would do Thanksgiving football and they give out the turkey legs. They got turkey to the winning team and they all take the but they started sending him turd duckins back in the early 90s.
C
That's cool.
B
Yep. All right, go ahead.
C
So we're going to penguins Argentina. The landowner.
B
What do penguins eat? Here's an answer from azanimals.com they primarily fish and other seafood thrown in the mix depending on location species they eat crustaceans, cephalopods and fish. All they gotta taste like Tanner. Mm.
C
Okay, so there's a landowner in coastal Argentina and he's been convicted after bulldozing a protected penguin nesting colony. He destroyed over 175 nests and killed more than 100 adult penguins in the process.
B
Just my property. I can do what I want to, I guess. Right.
C
Probably still Bulldoze might have been trying to get that.
B
Hopefully it was at least his own property.
C
Yeah. The incident took place at a renowned breeding site at Magellanic of Magellanic Penguins. That's the name of the penguin.
B
Yeah. I just read that.
C
Located near Punta Tamba in the province of Chabut, Argentina. And this area has been whitelisted for conservation and heavy with wildlife tourism. According to the report, the landowner used a bulldozer to carve out a new track in the colony's habitat in order to link parts of his property. Makes sense. We do those all the time. Right? Carve out new pathways to get from one part to another.
B
Yeah. And also do fire lanes around the fields.
C
And it was a move that conservationists showed his reckless disregard for the protected ecosystem. Local wildlife officials described it as an act of war as they pursued both criminal and civil sanctions. And he stated that the destruction was so systemic and large scale it could spawn habitat collapse for years. The sentence awarded is symbolic of a shift in enforcement. So for the first time in this region handed down a conviction for mass wildlife destruction. And it sent that message, like I said, that even remote habitat crimes can carry serious consequences. So that's.
B
They must not have penguin hunting season. Yes. Laughing Save the penguins. Right. I don't think. Yeah. We don't waste anything and whatever and just killing. Just bulldozing over nests and. And. And you knew they're protected. I like. I don't like people to. With turtles and like that. No, not Louisiana pond turtles and sea turtles. But yeah, we shoot the. Just FYI. We shoot the turtles in our ponds. Well, yeah, but they're snapping turtles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know the saying about snapping turtles. I bet a bunch of lifers don't. Loggerheads. That bites you. It will not let go until the next time lightning strikes.
C
Is that like.
B
Basically they bite you, you're done. They. They will not let go until you cut the head off and you have to go get the teeth prod off of you.
C
Right.
B
They be mean as. Right?
C
Yeah.
B
All right. It's almost travel time. The busiest travel weekends of the year and all that. I can't. I just love it. All the tribe that we like, the Overtons and extended family that we like are coming in for Thanksgiving. It's going to be awesome. Hunting season starting and everything else. But I got a. May not be a twofer, but it's definitely this going out to la, right. And a dude got on a British Airways flight from LA to London Heathrow Airport. Right, okay. Well, you know, people just don't always act right. I had trips me out when I read these stories, and these are so much younger than me. So 51 was on the flight from Los Angeles International Airport to London Heathrow on May 23rd of this year. And now as us in court, okay? And the Uxbridge Magistrates Court and this just had a hearing on this Monday. So Ashley Etienne, who's prosecuting, said the passenger next to Jones of Joneses of Willington Bedford, said he became agitated and that he tried to ignore him. But during the pre flight safety check, Jones began clapping and talking very loudly. Come on, man, that's just rude. There's people got to do that. I know nobody pays attention to it and. But he's clapping.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Being very loud. Okay. And she said he was approached and spoken to about his behavior by cabin crew. However, he started to shout, saying, can I have a glass? Give me a drink.
C
There's no alcohol in this Bloody Mary.
B
Yeah, I know, right? So later the plane takes off, they get themselves down, it's all gonna be okay. But later in the flight, he sinks, I guess broke the seal before he left because he's getting up every few minutes to go take a leap. And then he began shouting and swearing at the passenger in the seat next to him. Passion next to him, asked him, hey, can you please not swear and can you be mindful of the other passengers? Well, he did not listen to her, this court of prosecution. And at one point he gets up and his pillow touched the passenger's foot next to him and he shouted to him, you do that again, I will put that in your fucking face. Oh, right.
C
Okay, okay.
B
You really can't do this on planes nowadays. People are going to learn this one. So the passenger next to him. Excuse me, flight attendant, can I get the away from this dude? Can you move me away from him, please? And they asked that the passenger next to him asked to move seats in order to get away from Jones, the captain had to get involved. Right. I'm gonna finally go up there. Knock on door. Hey, Captain being unruly, we might have to get out to duct tape. Right? So the captain says, you know what? Do not give Mr. Jones any more alcohol. Him. He's cut off. Right. Well, what do you think Mr. Jones did about that?
C
He took that.
B
Mr. Jones has become irate, gritting his teeth and began pacing up and down the cabin. This is not going to end well for Mr. Jones. No, right Jones then sat on the part of the door that is connected to the emergency slide.
C
That's scary.
B
And they told him, hey, you can't do that, don't do that. And he's like, you, I'm doing it. And he began to argue with the member of the crew. Jones then start shouting at the passengers. Then the captain gave permission for Jones to be restrained. Break out the duct tape for the zip ties. That's always fun. I wish I was on one of those. The witness said he was then restrained onto his seat using handcuffs. I'm pretty sure one handcuffs, probably zip ties. He shouted, oi, blonde boy, loosen them cuffs or I'll wrap them around your neck.
C
Oh my gosh.
B
He had the. Jones had to be checked on every 15 minutes until the flight landed, which significantly impacted the cruise duties, including serving other passengers. Of course right now that's a pretty long flight. Yeah, I mean LA to London's alone. You expecting a couple meals and some toddies in whatever way. You didn't get any because Mr. Jones was being a so gerbinder. Tamana, who's defending, said Jones does suffer from bipolar and added he has not committed any further offenses and he told her he only had one alcoholic drink. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a lie. And during that time in his life he was having a difficult time. He states that he wasn't taking his medication as he should have and he has new medication that has been prescribed now. He's working now as well and that's in a bar. Oh, I think she might have had a shot until she said that. And she had it. This is really completely out of character for him. Well, guess what. Jones previously admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words towards a member of the crew of the aircraft and behaving in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly manner towards a member of the crew of the aircraft. Intentionally interfering with the performance of a member of the crew of the aircraft, of the crew members duties and using threatening, abusive and insulting words or behavior to cause harassment, alarm or distress. Yeah, he admitted to it.
C
Yeah.
B
Why you got a defense attorney? Well, in steps, Judge Catherine Verdes, who sentenced Jones to community order, I guess community service for 12 months and ordered him to complete 150 hours of unpaid work, 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days, banned him from international travel for six months and ordered him to pay £400 in cost and a surcharge of £114 and £115 to other passenger. She said the incident in itself was sustained from the very start of the flight. Your behavior towards a fellow passenger was completely un. Unacceptable and towards a flight career.
C
It's not uncommon behavior. If you have a bipolar diagnosis, obviously you've acted like that in some way, shape or form to get a diagnosis. Would you not agree with that?
B
She's talking specifically about his uncommon behavior on an airplane. She's not talking about the rest of his life.
C
Okay.
B
She's saying you fucked up on the airplane. Your behavior was uncommon. That's a nice English way of saying you were being a fucking dickhead and you fucked up the whole flight and everybody got fucked up.
C
I thought when you said that it was uncommon behavior that it was his.
B
Attorney saying it's a judge saying you. Your uncommon behavior causes.
C
I agree with that. I thought you were taught. I thought that part of the story was when you said his attorney said that his behavior wasn't.
B
Let me get. Let me get some Q tips out of my pocket so you clean your ears out, okay, and listen to my stories.
C
I did.
B
I love you. All right, y'. All, I don't have anything else for the day. I think Mr. Jones being an. It's enough to end it.
C
Okay.
B
All right. And you have anything else you want to say? Hi, Captain Sandy. You know, she's listening.
C
I hope she's listening. I love Captain Sandy.
B
Yeah. Did they have, like, a wedding in the Mediterranean somewhere on the ship?
C
She proposed to her at the end of the seat last season.
B
And you said that she got married.
C
She proposed and then they got married. I don't know anything about that.
B
Well, I would suspect if they got married, she proposed her.
C
I don't know where the wedding was. I know.
B
Maybe they had it on the show. I thought they had it on the show or something.
C
No.
B
Okay, you keep us updated on that. Criminal minds want to know about Caps the Sanity getting married on Below deck.
D
All right, y' all love and appreciate.

On this episode, Woody and Cyndi Overton deliver their signature mix of in-depth crime storytelling and banter, diving into headline-grabbing incidents from around the world. The episode covers three major cases: the bold Louvre crown jewel heist in Paris, a chilling child-on-child crime in Cleveland, and an environmental crime involving penguin colonies in Argentina. With characteristic wit and outrage, the Overtons also touch on a reality TV star’s legal troubles and unruly airplane passengers, bridging international crime with sharp commentary and a dose of dark humor.
Woody sets the stage with an audacious crime out of Paris:
Woody: "The thieves took less than eight minutes to steal. The jewels were valued at a hundred and two million. And of course, that stunned the world, right? This high profile heist." (05:51)
Cyndi: "She was wearing the crown jewels and people were asking her, 'how did you get the plan?'... it was just a couple girlfriends and I, and we were watching Oceans 11..." (12:02)
Cyndi covers a deeply disturbing incident in Ohio:
Cyndi: "[Her] daughter's injuries were extreme. Her hair had been scalped from her head, her body was bruised and bloodied, and the debris and dirt were lodged under her fingernails." (13:10)
Woody: "Certainly, they got to put that nine and ten year old somewhere that did that to a little five year old. Fuck that." (15:58)
Woody delivers a shocking true crime with a reality TV twist:
Woody: "He ran like a little bitch... And the next day, I'm going to Vegas to gamble." (25:28)
Prosecutor Karen Salas: "He likes to spend money and drink alcohol. Given all this information and his access to funds, I think he is a flight risk and additionally he's a danger to the public." (28:54)
Cyndi fact-checks a heartbreaking environmental crime:
Cyndi: "He destroyed over 175 nests and killed more than 100 adult penguins in the process." (34:07)
Woody: "I don't like people to fuck with turtles... Save the penguins. Right?" (36:18)
Woody tells the tale of in-flight mayhem:
Woody: "You really can't do this on planes nowadays. People are going to learn this one." (40:16)
On the Louvre heist:
"These people just pull up with... a big motorized thing, y'all. It has wheels on it and a big boom arm and they just ride right up to it. They got a picture of it extended all the way maximum and just climbed right on the balcony and busted through a window."
— Woody (09:27)
On the Cleveland juvenile suspects:
"I mean, I don't know. In Louisiana you couldn't even charge them... the only took people in there that raped and murdered and armed rob and not people, but kids."
— Woody (15:28)
On the celebrity hit-and-run:
"He has access to yet another vehicle that is registered him and by the fact that he doesn't have a license and his history indicates that he drinks at that arena and then drives home."
— Prosecutor Karen Salas (29:34)
On penguins in Argentina:
"Penguin in Argentina. I was like, whoa. Was. Are there penguins? ...Specifically, the Magellanic."
— Cyndi & Woody (32:11–32:15)
On in-flight passenger restraint:
“He shouted, oi, blonde boy, loosen them cuffs or I'll wrap them around your neck.”
— Woody (41:59)
Woody’s signature close:
"Alright, y'all. I don't have anything else for the day. I think Mr. Jones being an asshole is enough to end it."
— Woody (45:39)
