I remember when he said it, I wondered why he even mentioned it to the reporter at all if the police told him not to. His interview is gone now. Maybe WJLA found out he was lying?
Hmm, do you remember what time you saw it? The version I saw was at 11pm -- I don't recall there being mention of the police at that time. Maybe it had already been edited down from a previous airing and that's why it seemed to disjointed from the rest of the piece.
