Surveillance video obtained by CBS 2 HD shows Rene Perez -- apparently in pain -- as he spent some of the last hours of his life at a Mount Kisco laundromat.

At 10:42 p.m., a drunken Perez did something he'd done hundreds of times before -- called police. It would be the last time he'd ever dial 9-1-1.

He told the dispatcher of his stomach pains.

Perez then went outside to meet three police officers, who were out of the view of surveillance cameras.

One of the cops -- George Bubaris -- is accused of driving Perez to neighboring Bedford and dumping him on the side of a road.

CBS 2 has obtained surveillance video from an estate near the scene. It shows a police car driving by at 11:31 p.m. and then back to Mount Kisco five minutes later.

Prosecutors believe Bubaris was behind the wheel. He had no radio transmissions for a 30-minute period.

Perez died at a hospital from internal injuries, the source of which remains unknown.

Shortly after, the Bedford Police Department called the Mount Kisco Police Department to break the news.

* Bedford PD: "Rene Perez is dead."

* Mount Kisco PD: "Really? Unbelievable."

* Bedford PD: "Yeah, after all the times you guys dealt with him."

And immediately the cops speculate about foul play.

* Bedford PD: "Somebody, if they thought he was dead already and decided to take him down there and dump him, but I doubt if he's gonna walk all the way down there."

Both departments knew Perez well. Each had arrested him dozens of times.

And there's been yet another new development in this case. The Journal News says according to court records it obtained Officer Bubaris told a fellow officer, he "went out hunting for Perez and gave him a ride up to Byram Lake Road" in Bedford the night he was found dying.
