What happens when a single incident changes the course of your life and career?

In this powerful episode of the Street Tales Podcast, the hosts sit down with Arthur “Rusty” Myers III, author of Tattered, to discuss the July 1, 2019, incident that sparked internal investigations, suspension, public scrutiny, and a long battle to clear his name.

Rusty shares the deeply personal story behind the events that led to losing his badge, the emotional toll of isolation, and the mental health struggles that followed. Through candid reflection, he opens up about navigating uncertainty, confronting self-doubt, and finding the strength to keep moving forward when it seemed like everything had been taken away.

This conversation dives into the realities many first responders face but rarely discuss accountability, perception versus truth, the impact of disciplinary processes, and the importance of seeking help before reaching a breaking point. Rusty also discusses how forgiveness, faith, resilience, and support from others helped him rebuild his life and ultimately return to law enforcement.

Whether you're a law enforcement officer, first responder, leader, or someone facing adversity, this episode offers valuable lessons about perseverance, mental resiliency, personal growth, and leaving the profession better than you found it.

If you've ever felt defeated, misunderstood, or ready to quit, Rusty's story serves as a reminder that your toughest chapter does not have to be your final chapter.

In this episode, hosts Tyler and Mo break down two intense, back-to-back police reports from June 2015. The first details an aggravated battery involving a seven-month pregnant woman who declines medical attention and refuses to cooperate with authorities, raising difficult questions about victim autonomy. The second case spirals from a violent altercation into a debated kidnapping charge, complicated by conflicting witness statements, suspects fleeing the scene, and detectives revising charges in real time.

With candid commentary and personal insights woven throughout, Tyler and Mo explore how evidence, victim decisions, and police procedures can dramatically influence the direction—and outcome—of a case.

Former Mesa Police narcotics officer Brock Bevell joins hosts Vic and Tyler for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about resilience, addiction, and recovery. After a career spent on the front lines of narcotics enforcement, a line-of-duty injury and years of cumulative trauma led Brock down an unexpected path into addiction—forcing him to confront the very struggles he once policed.

In this episode, Brock opens up about the realities of trauma in law enforcement, the loss of identity after retirement, and the long road back through recovery. He also shares how these experiences inspired him to found the Fentanyl Project, an outreach initiative dedicated to helping individuals battling addiction on the streets.

The conversation dives into the rapidly evolving dangers of fentanyl, including how it’s changing the drug landscape and increasing overdose risks. Brock and the hosts discuss practical harm-reduction tools like Narcan and fentanyl test strips, effective street outreach strategies, and why recovery depends on something simple but often overlooked: consistent human connection.

Listeners will hear raw, real stories from both law enforcement and lived street experience—along with actionable ways to support those in crisis.
