A deputy in the Orange County Sheriff's Office walked away from a traffic stop with a man's Xbox 360 and eight games. The man, Kenyatta Hillman, claims that he was allegedly pulled over for speeding and in lieu of writing him a ticket, the officer confiscated the man's console and games.
When the man went to claim his console, the sheriff's office had no record of it and was not able to locate it. The man says that those at the office claim there was no filed report and no case written up about the incident.
Sgt. Hosey of the sheriff's office later told Hillman that he had the system and would return his system to him on Friday. The wait until Friday is because the sergeant who is handling the situation "is busy during the week."

The owner showed up with the original box and receipt to claim his xBox, but when deputies looked for it they couldn't find it in the evidence room.
Orange County deputies stopped Kenyatta Hillman and his friend on Friday afternoon for speeding. When deputies pulled them over, they searched the car because they said they smelled marijuana. They didn't find any drugs, but found an xBox with eight games.
"He said, 'When you got your receipt and box and we'll meet someplace, you show me your receipt and I'll give you your game.' I didn't understand them," Hillman said.
The deputy ran the serial numbers and it did not come up as stolen, but he took the game system anyway. He told Hillman he wanted to make sure no one reported it stolen. Deputies told Eyewitness News there had been a lot of burglaries in the area and xBox systems are hot.
