The Bizarre Story Of Hoyt Birge 

Much respect. Many RU-vidrs don't give credit where it's due.

Not sure if you look at all the comments but I wanted to tell you that you should turn down the volume of your voice as it is ten times louder than the rest of the video.

Thank you so much for putting this story out there. I found this story on Mentour Lawyer's channel but it wasn't put together in story form and I had to figure it out on my own. For some reason I have never seen anyone else talk about what happened to Pete and Hoyt and I just wanted to tell you I appreciate this video. Thank you!

What are they saying in the intro what word is that?? Incredulous?? Lol 🤷

Thanks for the update on the case 🙏🏿❤️

another junkie that thinks they are better than everybody.

Yeah it's scary now fentanyl laced in everything. Fake percs that are really fentanyl. I got out 10 years ago at the perfect time.

Same story, but the struggle will always be real for me, I've even been in rooms with guns drawn, & it's sad that the seriousness sometimes doesn't kick in, I'm also grateful nothing ever came to seeing something so horrific in my life, like what happened here, as many might think, even addicts have family & are loved, & everyday life gets a Lil easier as it goes, when u get away from that world, & for me, it's been 7 yrs. I've always worked hard in Healthcare, but my understanding of addiction now will never make me fully judge someone... When ur in that life, & something happens like this, in the end, u have a choice to either have the strength to understand the consequences or keep blaming everyone else. Paige's whinny tone was showing she was just looking out for herself. To lure someone in, like I said, drug use sometimes is a blur, but once it all gets real, we all snap & most have a reality ck. It sounds like her reality ck was protecting herself, u always know when someone's lying when they remember step by step, their day, until the adrenaline kicks in, & when u have 7 ppl committing a crime, there's no way all of a sudden ur the only angel in the room. Pete... your nickname is now lost, hopefully like your past... kick on kickin!

Yes it’s very hard to stop, especially if you don’t use anything to stop with like Methadone, Subs, Subutex Etc. How old were you when you started and then stopped, if you don’t mind me asking? & congratulations 🎉 on 18 year’s 👏🏼🙏🏼❣️

​@@mavisjones9391 subs or methadone makes it 10x worse, because in time that becomes an addiction, you have to kick too. I had some withdrawal symptoms for a couple months, while getting off of subs, and I never took more than a centimeter pinch off of a sublingual film....and I got clean from smoking straight fentanyl after 2 years, straight, at 17 years old, and the withdrawals from that only lasted a week. When the subs took me numerous months.

Never

I was happy to see that. Looking at Pete during his police interview, you can see that he had a lot of potential before getting hooked on drugs.

Agree with you! Thanks a lot for that part! I wish Peter to stay on the right path and all the best in life!

You can tell he was dope sick during the interview.

​@@elenapashaeva1 you so fffiiiinnnee 🫠🤤

WOW! Huge accomplishment! Congratulations 🎉

An awesome story, best wishes Tiffany!

I'm so proud of YOU sweetheart 🙌🏼💕

I am in tears reeding this. I just wonder if your life does feel much better now? I am quitting from opiates now as I had cancer they tought i would die of and I am finallu well but I feel the withdrawls. I dont miss using morphine as I just have bad memories of this and I just make me feel a little better but is hard to quit. I just had this big surgery as well in my who abdomen so it maby makes it harder.

We DO recover! I've been there too and it's so hard but now that I'm clean I couldn't go back to that now. Obviously part of me is always going to miss the way opiates made me feel but I don't miss the withdrawals, the unhappiness, the horrible people that are around you and the absolute self-hatred I felt for what I was doing to myself. Well done for getting clean, you are amazing ❤❤

Wow.. I know right. My jaw is on the ground. I know ALL these people... I'm buggin

🤣 What a compliment! ❤

​@@alycinannette8388whats your OnlyFans?

He looks fantastic. I agree it is the silver lining.

Lookin' like a squirt of diarrhea on a summer's day

@Paul X "Heartiest congratulations my dear (man)!" to misquote Dr. Zachary Smith, it's always uplifting & encouraging to know of people who have gained the victory over ruinous addiction. Please to Keep On Rolling upward & onward. I count my blessings anew that such has never chained me - I do though still occasionally partake, as I have managed for 35 years! - & which I have tried to impart to others I've met with tales of woe i.e. the lying/cheating/stealing sort that are only a drag on their families. Sadly around these parts there already had been an entrenched criminal aspect to those kind which my attempts at enlightenment & guidance - one had only to see how I maintain myself & place (rent/bills) & critters (gotta keep those & the food supplies robust 1st & foremost!) to see how a person can have the inner strength to not go down that drain. It never has been something I had slipped down into & had to climb back out of - it simply never has dragged me down, all gratitude to the inner will from both parental units, joint American Indian ancestry included. 😇 But I must be as rare as a passenger pigeon in that regard, in that closeknit hood I stayed in for 6 years, it turned out that corner house had a reputation 3x its size, which all around were able to clearly see the difference after I moved in, which that it did NOT again become a drug den and instead, from my wrestling with its yard on all sides, was told "This house ain't looked that good in *15* years!" 🥳 Ain't no drug addict going to do any of that, much less everything else - & keep the family from knowing ANYthing about that aspect for near 30 years. 👍 🌟 Them reefers is 1 thing but The Hard Concrete is another matter altogether, & I ain't now lying comfortable in this (quieter) new place of 14 months, power/water running & cabinets/icebox filled, damn dog on post on the porch with no bones showing, "on a wing & a prayer!" 📿 In some old docu where a guy was asked how long it took for him to get hooked & he actually said "My 1st hit," 😳 🙄 I snorted derisively at such awful weakness. "Not me!" But all I can do is to maintain myself as I already long have been, & keep trying to help others do the same. However, as all who have struggled or know someone who has/is, they have to 1st want to help *themselves* - & ooh how hard that is, this former neighbor with 2 nephews leeching her money for their fix had actually managed to get both of them sorry shitheads into Ree-Hab more than once, but while I kept my prediction to myself & said only encouraging things to her, I knew that as soon as they got back they'd get right back to doing what they do. And so they have, every time. "Sad sad sad." Well best wishes to you & a prayer of hope for the same strength to both fight & win the battle against the horrors of addiction - to whatever is the problem. My daddy was a (sadly mean) drunk for just over *60* damn years, to literally the bitter end, yet me & my non-indulging sisters (other than reefer, which it's been near 50 years since they had any) did not become no such statistic as "the children of addicts will likely be such themselves," no thank you I'm sure! May as many as possible who have both viewed this Florida Man spectacle & are in the fight to regain themselves eventually succeed - "the sooner the quicker!" 👍💙

Bless you!

Amen brother. Keep close to God my brother.

Thats amazing ❤

Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾

Yea he definitely could have been off trying to score and get well. He could have not “snitched”. But he was there telling them what happened and that’s what lead to the swift and immediate arrests of the culprits. Sucks that this is what it took, but that’s often time what it takes, for him to get his life turned around.

Yeah I noticed that too. Thank God he spoke up. He looks so miserable while talking to the officer. I haven't finished the video yet, but people are saying that he turned his life around. Good for him. I've been there too and I'm so lucky to be alive. We do recover. So sad for the life that was lost. 🥺

Having gone through withdrawals myself. I cant even imagine.... I wanted to die from the pain...

​@mattiedyess9817 Me too girl..Happy you're still with us.

@@mattiedyess9817 Yes, we do recover. Everyone deserves that chance. We are all only humans trying to get by with what we have.

I thought the same, that cop couldnt of cared less, it was almost as if he was put in effort not to care.

thats because pete was being lined up as an accessory to murder, he's lucky he didn't get 30 years jail as well if you are getting sympathy from a cop it's purely to assist in a conviction against you

He's not a therapist. Especially for drug addicts wreaking havoc like this.

@@user-gj1me4mf5c I'm not a therapist either but I'm bright enough to know that you get much better results if you know how to read people. But you go ahead being oblivious, I'm sure it's working out really well for you.

I think so too. It never hurts to show even a tiny bit of kindness. Drug addicts still have feelings. Losing your very best friend in such a tragic way RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU has got to be such a fear inducing and scary situation. He didn’t have to go out of his way to be “nice” but a kind gesture or an “I’m sorry that happened” sure wouldn’t have hurt. This man was a drug addict but he was still a human being with REAL human emotions

He's a good dude.

That statement made my heart melt a little - especially when his voice cracked...

Yes! I’ve been in that world and I can tell he was trying to give that information when he was going through withdrawal. Thank god he got out but it really is unfortunate that it took seeing someone die for that to happen. I was so scared that they would not believe him because it was his car. Thank god they were so stupid to let him go into his house! I believe him when he says he didn’t want to go into that house. Pill sellers usually like to make their drops in their vehicles and get away.

His mom is his world but he takes a car full of killers to her home 😂 Glad he’s doing well now

​@@leahgolden7242 you never specifically said you are in recovery but I assume you are and as a fellow recovering addict, I just wanted to say congrats on getting out of that world. I know just how hard it is to escape that life once you're in it. You are amazing!❤

❤

2005 for me as well. It was pain pills. Suboxone was my way out. But I tell people you have to want to do it. I was dead set on getting off them. Haven’t since, not even so much as a thought about it. Since then I’ve had a couple minor surgeries and I’m like nope. No meds, I’m good. I’ll deal with the pain. Thinking only way I’ll go back on those is if I’m terminally ill and have no choice. All from back pain playing football and a surfing accident, wisdom teeth and a broken ankle. That’s as easy as it starts. Here’s a script for vicodin which ended up all the way to 80mg oxycontin and fentanyl patches. The patches were too much, I tried but I just couldn’t take the jolts of the med getting in my system what felt like every half hour and couldn’t fall asleep. Odd I know, figure it would knock you out but it was just too heavy. Man, just to think about it disgusts me. There’s a place for pain meds, but not like I was taking them. Everyone’s journey is truly different. Whatever the journey, as long as we all end up at the same place, free of that stuff. WHOO what a ride. I don’t recommend it at all. Vicious circle of chasing. Screw that.

It's more categorical. Which Pete? Crackhead Pete.

Seriously . He doesn't deserve that .

Like… How degrading, right? I think you’re right, though he was a quick thinker.

And now he is sober ❤

He hit rock bottom in such a different way than most drug addicts do. There are plenty of other drug related ways to hit rock bottom and almost die in that process, but this one hits harder because he was almost murdered. Pete deserves so much praise for turning his life around, and though some might say an addict is always subject to a relapse, even if he does he will always remember the day he almost died because of how intense it was. He truly seems grateful just to be alive now.

I wish this Pete well. Even one day out of trouble is good. Keep it up.❤

Yea, I like Pete. Also, amazing genetics to look like that while being a down and out crackhead! I hope him and his mom are doing well.

Wait how do we kno that? Did they say that in the video? The end says they “hope” he has

I heard Pete got a lick for some drug charges anybody know?

THIS! OMG, I wanted to scream. I think he was also dismissive because he was judgmental and viewed everyone involved simply as "junkies" and "druggies." He was so apotheotic and disengaged. I felt horrible for Pete being treated this way immediately after such a traumatizing experience.

pathetic excuse for a detective

The only thing police r interested in is what they can possibly charge u with...its their job. They don't get paid to care, help or sympathise with u. 👀

I had a severe concussion after a car accident and was allowed to say hospitals are too expensive when I could barely walk. I knew my name and the president. By the time I got home, I no longer knew those things. This is all second hand because I don't even remember the car accident or anything that happened for the rest of that day, and have gaps from the next three days.

Check out the interrogation of Ryan Waller.

seemingly.

Glad you said that! I went to other channels and found the voices there so unimpressive and so much like they were just reading the news.... I came back here for more episodes lol

Congrats to your son. It's so hard but it's so possible. Former addict myself.

My son is a long term meth addict & brain damaged now. So glad your boy is clean 👍

I’m so happy for your son :) my boyfriend was addicted for years and is 16 months sober. My heart feels good knowing Pete is doing good as well !

Happy for your son :)

I'm so happy that your son was able to escape the holds of such an insidious drug! Pete, too. His was, I'm sure, partly because he was scared straight. Regardless of why, I'm just so happy they got away!!

Yes 👍

She was a real moron

That’s great, I’ve got 6 years. When I was using, I couldn’t imagine living life without being high on lortabs, methadone or suboxone. I was arrested and detoxed in jail from opiates, benzos, nicotine and SSRI’s. It was absolute hell. But it was a blessing because I finally had some momentum in the right direction. I became obsessed with health and fitness because I needed something else to fill my life with. I’m so grateful for my new life of happiness, strength, and hope. I hope everyone struggling can find peace.

​​@@CankleCankle Same I was smoking weed everyday all day for 27 yrs I thought I will never give it up well 10 months ago I finally gave it up and I wish I did it sooner, now I have COPD from all those yrs of smoking, don't believe anyone who tells you weed is harmless it's not true weed can cause paranoia, COPD and emphysema....etc Most people who use heavier drugs first started smoking weed.

I was the same way. 60 days clean from fetynal and every other drug under the sun. It's not easy. How do you/ did you stay clean? I'm struggling

​@Danica DeVries because it's a relatable story when you're trapped in this type of life. It can always get worse to this type of level. Obviously you have never been there before. Take that as a blessing

​@Bel Mum pot? Lol pot isn't the same as hard drugs. And that's not true at all. My first drug wasn't pot or booze it was cocaine at 17

I know exactly how you feel. Its equally painful for the partner or family member or friend when that person you care so much about goes through using & addiction. I can only wish you & your brother, and anybody using or not thats going through it, all my best wishes, hope & love. Its only love that is worth a damn, be it at arms length, love for themselves or others love to not give up on them completely, its love that keeps up the strength. However it can appear, I bet most all users don't want to be this way, dont sometimes feel shame, aren't embarrassed or even scared at times. In addiction it is less an intention but rather a compulsion. A million words cant encompass all the feelings & situations & everything else thats experienced by those affected by addiction. However they kick or relapse or maintain there is only one thing that honestly keeps us all in the fight. Love.

@Max Beautiful words... all we need is love! ❤️

@@GetCraftyLemons Thank you. I truly believe that when we examine the core of what's truly important in life it is love. Have a great day. Peace...& Love.

@@evryhndlestakn ❤ Agreed!!

I hope your brother somehow recovers

Why

He looks better on hard drugs than most people do living clean and hitting the gym. Insane.

Agreed. Very handsome

Resembles Bradley Cooper

He looks really healthy now though off of them. Very good looking man.,

Yeah same here. Same same same. Though I'm still on drugs. I might be a functioning addict. Work and have my own place but I still want to stop .

He was kind of already fit to be honest. But yeah thankful for the change in his life.

Hes probably still using here and there. Idk about ya but I'm not quick to believe a person changed just because its stated so in a utube video. The struggle is real

@@rodrigodasilva7862 you speak from your own experiences yet you've most likely haven't had a life changing experience like Crackhead Pete here¡

​@@rodrigodasilva7862wow so much for your faith. Yes people do get clean ND COMPLETELY sober all the time.

​@@rodrigodasilva7862as$

Omg what part is that at? I missed it lmao

Rough 🫣

Great comment! Congrats on getting clean and surviving! The thought of this is so terrifying, especially when you do the shit so many times whether using or providing and get complacent. Then something happens and you’ve normalized it to the point that you’re not even a little ready for it. Stay strong man! Glad you and your friend are here.

Holy crap!!!! how did you guys escape??

Congrats on your recovery! I wish you nothing but the best!

Thanks! When they tried to get my buddy to go into the trunk of the car I thought they were gonna probably try to kill him and then me most likely so when I had a second alone with the gunman I told him that when they were gonna move us out to the car I was gonna run and I did. My buddy also escaped after taking a beating. They stole his car but we both got away. One of the kindappers killed someone else a few months later in a similar situation. My buddy unfortunetly died of an overdose a few years later. . . Its a crazy lifestyle and Im still dealing with trauma when I watch stuff like this it reminds me of how crazy things are.

@@ukee31 holy sht, i’m so sorry that happened to you. that’s straight out of a movie

Nah that’s drug withdrawals

⁠@@hayleyelizabethbrownclearyWithdrawals and PTSD aren't mutually exclusive silly lady

@Night Terror I agree

I know

Sorry, but none of these idiots should be honored. Not in the case.

simp

That ain't no kid. Men have lead armies at a younger age than him.

Yep and as a lot have warrants out for them ext so never report to the police. The underworld I'd most definitely a real thing

Yeah it's crazy...but I'm not talking to the cops lol.. that's a good way to get killed.

Bullsh1t.

Samantha Landry you sound like someone I would be friends with much respect

It's almost like that's why they teach us not to do drugs in school. Like middle school. So at 12 or so, you're made well aware of how dangerous drugs and the lifestyle are. It's almost like an entire organization exists for the sole purpose of teaching kids about drugs......

Yeah, he seems like a good dude.

His voice is different u mean? I'm at the beginning of the video so I'm anticipating seeing the rest . But yeah his voice is raspy . Can't wait till I see the rest 😊

Or make it legal

The ACA Is really inexpensive now Especially for those who have low income Its almost free monthly They offer really low cost opiate subutex drs appointments for $99 a month Plus meds

Yeah...no. One of the dudes in this, the survivor...wanted to SELL OPIATES. That ain't the same as substance abuse.

Or mental health.

@@lovepet4565 THE ACA only helps those who live in states that choose to expand Medicare. Unfortunately, there are many republican/red states that have refused to expand Medicare and collect federal funds to pay for its citizens healthcare.

I noticed that, too. Unlike most attorneys with their standard "It's a yes or no question." He begins each question with the subject matter she is supposed to expound upon. Also, periodically giving her subtle cues as to what she's supposed to say next.

He was high on meth during the interrogation, he did the meth with the killers to gain their respect and try to be on their side until he could get away, which he did get away when he said he could get more drugs, the killers took him to get the drugs and he ran and called police

Pete could have easily been involved imo.

@@graylouch8419 he was not. If you go to mentor lawyers channel he has ALL the interrogations from all involved and you can see that he was not involved

@@graylouch8419 he wasnt, i followed this case on Mentour Lawyers channel a few years ago, he went deep into the text messages etc, Pete was a victim

@@sk8erlater11 yep 👍

Feel bad, too, that he seems to be going through opiate withdrawal during the interview. Yawning and can't sit still. Hurts like hell, and I can't imagine how bad it is while ALSO dealing with the shock and trauma about what just happened. Rough, man.

Agreed

That's how you REALLY hurt a man. Take his drugs, money or girlfriend and he'll get over it.....but take his dog....he won't be the same again.

Who cares ? Screw the murders of humans god forbid they take or harm a dog

Yeah look how John Wick went down. Haha

You can sell a dog tbf especially if it’s a popular breed

@Vikki' Phillips-Mitchell Okay Commodore Decker, that was a uniquely awesome way to describe Petey boy's adjusted course. 🌟🥳 This 1 episode oughta be standard viewing for those in & needing recovery - not only for his story of salvation but for the scarier (& deadly) events that preceded it, incl the lying cow & that horrid cop asking in just Somewhat Less than a concerned tone about calling an ambulance; that should have been done right then & there. "(Luck) to you all!" (to misquote that awful Gorgon in Star Trek - played by a damn lawyer yet!) in your own efforts to get & stay clean & safe & well.
