Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department

If you are going to be filming your music video up in the mountains this weekend, please do not do the following:
*Pretend to kidnap and duct tape your victim

*Victim pretending to break free and getting out of trunk

*Have a shovel

*Use a handgun

On Wednesday, March 13, 2019, San Dimas station received an emergent call of a possible kidnapping on Highway 39 in the San Gabriel Mountains. Informant stated he saw two suspects pointing a gun at a victim whose hands were duct taped near a black BMW. Deputies responded and conducted a “high risk” traffic stop on the vehicle , where three males were detained. After some investigation, it was determined the men were filming a music video (with a real gun). One person was arrested for a misdemeanor weapons charge.

Mental note: book a place to film your music video! Maybe advise the cops first?!

Agreed... Or, not make idiotic videos like that at all? What's the point, give someone a few ideas? Where's the entertainment in a violent kidnapping? Yeah, I'm fun at parties, tyvm.

All MOO and JMO

Double that, please! It can get pretty depressing here, like now, and humor helps a lot.
