After I picked up a sandwich, I saw her
with um the gun at the bottom of his
truck.
>> And then what did you do?
>> Yeah, BUT WHAT THE HECK? I didn't touch
him.
>> Okay.
>> No.
>> A woman can sound heartbroken and still
be the one doing the damage day after
day. Help me.
>> I'm in a police car on your road, East
on Green Road, and I don't know who's
arresting me, and they get I'm cops. I
NEED HELP. POLICE OFF the wait for me
and call somebody.
>> When the arrest happens, there's
screaming, live streams, demands for
rights, but no one can give that child
their sense of safety back.
This is a bad mother. where love
disappears, ego takes over, and blame
fills the empty space.
On March 14th, 2024 in Riviera Beach,
[music] Florida, police were called to a
daycare after a teacher found something
dangerous inside a little child's
lunchbox. The 911 call went out
immediately. And then when the mom
showed up, the story started to crack.
>> How you doing?
>> How you doing? Are you the mom?
>> Yes, ma'am. All right. Uh, stand right
here for me so I can talk to them and
then I'll come and talk to you.
>> How you doing?
>> Hello. How are you?
>> I'm good. Thank you so much for coming.
>> First and foremost, where
>> she she got she took she had she had but
let me tell you where
>> where is it now?
>> She has it. She put it out.
>> Ma'am.
Ma'am, where's the weapon?
>> It's in my car.
>> Okay. Let me let me get the
owner.
>> Okay.
>> She's getting ready to take me to jail.
>> Are you getting ready to take it?
>> I need the weapon.
>> Ma'am, I'm not trying to get you. I'm
getting ready.
Hello.
Yes, ma'am. Get out. Hold on.
Stand all the way back.
>> Hold on. Don't walk. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry.
>> Okay. Hold on. I'll talk to you in a
minute.
>> Okay.
It's like you see like they're here. The
police are here right now. They're
aggressively.
>> I'm not aggressive.
>> I'm I'm sorry, ma'am. You're not. But
basically what I'm saying is she has her
gloves on. She's taking a picture of my
gun. She's ready to press charge on me
and take me to jail, Miss Jackson. And
this is what I'm talking about.
The moment she arrived, the mother was
fixated on where the gun was, who had
control of it, and what kind of legal
trouble she was facing, not on how her
child was doing. That reads like a
panic-driven self-p protection reflex,
not calculated cruelty. The real risk
came from a belief system that seriously
underestimates real world consequences.
>> Okay. So, what happened? Talk to me.
>> Okay. You hold on one second.
>> This is the owner. Hold on one sec. Hold
on. Miss Jackson, please don't hang up
cuz I have to I have to explain to the
officer
>> in in the me. This her phone call.
>> These your key now.
>> Okay. So,
>> all right. So, hold on.
>> What happened?
>> Okay. A grave mistake. Okay. Raise Ra
raise your right hand.
>> My right hand.
>> All right. Do you swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth?
>> I swear to tell the whole truth, nothing
but the truth.
>> All right.
>> Okay. So, my son go here. I take him to
school every morning.
>> How old is your son?
>> Okay. So, basically, he Miss Granger,
Can you Can you
hold on?
>> Okay. It's like four police officers
here. Oh my god. Okay. So, I take my son
here by 9:00. They close the door and
they lock the door. I don't carry
purses. All right. I keep my gun in my
glove compartment. Locked in my glove
compartment. I just got work done on my
tire. They breaking cars out where I
live. So, the only reason why I took the
gun out of my car is because I didn't
want the car my car to get broken into
and they get access to the gun or
whatever. So, this morning I took him I
put the gun in his lunchbox to bring it
outside instead of carrying it. I don't
like I said I don't carry purses. So
instead of me
>> Huh?
>> So So in
>> I'm still talking to her.
>> I already got I already got the zero.
>> Yeah. And she say she don't want to
press charges on me.
>> Hold on.
>> Ma'am, it was a grave mistake.
>> I'm I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
It It doesn't seem like anything
malicious.
>> It was It was a grave mistake. I swear
I'm so sick in my stomach. I'm so sick
in my stomach. That's I literally I
don't My son has never seen the gun
before. He's never even seen it before.
This is why I put it in his book bag
this morning. I put this book bag under
my arm cuz I don't carry purses. I
don't. That's why I don't even carry the
gun on.
>> Each excuse might sound harmless on its
own, but strung together, they expose
the core mistake. A child's safety got
shoved aside for an adults just for a
second. A kid's lunchbox became a
temporary hiding spot for something
lethal, and a quiet lesson was planted
in that child's memory.
>> You packing the lunch. You put the you
put the weapon inside of the lunch box
and then what happens?
>> And I close it and I put it in my
passenger side. Okay. The whole point
was to take it out before and put it in
my glove before I bring them before I
get them out of school. Okay.
>> 9:00 this locks that door and you
already know if you have kids once they
lock the door you can't get in for the
rest of the day to get your child in.
>> What's What's your address?
>> So their lunch their lunch time is at
11:00.
>> Mhm.
>> So
>> it's between 11:30 something like that.
So, I get a call between 11:00 11:30 and
they're like, "We need you to come up."
>> Can I at least make a phone call?
>> I don't feel
>> What am I being charged with?
>> Neglect. I'll let you know in a minute.
But
>> go ahead. Um,
>> for I'm going go talk to her real quick.
I'll be back.
Um, that decision was already made by
our supervisor. So, who is the
supervisor?
>> Like, y'all not even giving me the
opportunity to make a phone call or
anything.
>> You can make a phone call. Just This is
not the time for the phone call.
>> I'm at my son's school. My son is right
in there. Y'all take
>> He can't see you now. He can't see you.
>> And I've cooperated. I said it had to
wait for y'all.
>> Okay. Before you go in, let me just
>> I have nothing on right here.
>> Okay.
>> All right. Go ahead. Have a seat.
Grab us.
Go
>> ahead and have a seat.
>> You got to put your legs in. Sweet.
>> I I need to talk to somebody. Ma'am, can
I talk to the officer, please?
>> Ma'am, the decision I already have made.
The only thing you could do right now is
when we go to the station, if there's
somebody else you want to speak to,
we'll get that supervisor or whoever
else that you want to talk to. But right
now, you are under arrest.
Okay.
>> What are my charges?
>> We're going to let you know in a few.
>> She still didn't seem to grasp how
severe this was. Forgetting a weapon in
your child's lunchbox is dangerous in
the same way as forgetting a child in a
scorching car. Different details, same
level of unacceptable risk. She framed
it like something was taken from her,
not like a disaster was narrowly
prevented. She put it in the book bag
just for safekeeping.
Yep. And forgot to take it out. Yep.
Chamber. One chamber.
Hello.
>> All right. So, who found the weapon?
>> Um, my teacher. My teacher. I was
standing there talking to the teacher as
she discovered it. So, it was kind of
like both of us. Can you both of you
guys?
>> All right. So, where were you guys
normally when it when you when you found
when you located?
>> Um, well, all the kids were at the table
getting ready for lunch.
>> All right. So, can you raise your right
hand for me? Do you swear that the
statement you're about to give is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth?
>> I do.
>> Can you tell me what happened?
>> Um, so, um, all the children was sitting
at the yellow table. Um, sits at the
yellow table. Um, I did like a a circle
around. Um, I opened up one child. He
was the last one that I got to. So, I
got to his lunch box. I opened it up and
when I went to reach for his sandwich,
um, after I picked up the sandwich, I
saw um the gun at the bottom of his
lunch box.
>> And then what did you do?
uh freaked out um and went to the office
and told them like, "Hey, you know,
there's a gun in here." I'm like,
"There's a gu."
And um Miss Sean um ended up entering
the classroom and when she entered, she
removed the lunch box from the class.
>> Okay. Anything else that you want to add
to the statement?
>> Um no.
>> Okay. Can you tell me what happened?
>> Um I was standing uh in the doorway
talking to uh the teachers down there.
Uh my teacher uh Shaquisha was opening
the kid's lunch box. So when she got to
that particular child, she unzipped she
unzipped the lunch box and she went and
reached. SHE SAID, "OH." AND I was LIKE,
"WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" She was like,
"Come." So she said, "What it was?" So I
I then went down, opened the lunch box.
I saw
>> What color was the lunch box?
>> Uh lunch box is like a black.
>> Catching it in time stopped a
potentially catastrophic outcome.
Daycare staff doing routine work
suddenly handled a deadly object no one
was prepared for. But the biggest
mistake was how it was handled
afterward. They called the police about
the gun and then still gave the weapon
back to the mother.
>> You got the lunch box.
>> So I got So I got the lunch box. I um um
I look I I felt the heaviness of the
lunch box, so I know it was definitely a
real weapon, but I wanted to, you know,
make sure. So I retrieved gloves. I put
gloves on. um took it out to make sure
um that it was um a real weapon. That's
when I realized, oh yeah, it's
definitely real, definitely loaded. I
put it back, stuck it back in the lunch
box, and then I immediately called her
and told her she needs to get to the
school.
>> Okay. And then what did she say?
>> Uh I didn't tell her why I was calling
her. I just said, "I need to see you at
the school, and it's urgent." She kept
asking me, "Why, why, why?" Um I said,
"I just need you here." type thing. We
hung up. She said, "I'm on the way." Um,
I say maybe
3 to 5 minutes later, she called back
and that's when she realized why we were
calling her and she was like, "I'm so
>> Show me the area that you guys were in
when this down here.
He sits right here. Right. Right here.
He sits the child sits right here." So,
>> hi. How you doing?
>> I'm good. This officer Hunter Rivier
Beach Police Department. So, um, well, I
I know that you're the owner and the
director of the facility. Um,
so would you like to prosecute as well?
>> No, I don't cuz she got that baby and
the baby need somebody. He need his
mama. I I I don't want to do that. I
just think the good Lord nobody got
hurt. None of the other kids got gone
and I'm going to have to let her put him
somewhere else. So, I'm hoping that
would never happen with us again. And I
I just
>> Okay. Um, I don't know. I have to I have
to look. Do you understand what I mean?
I understand, but I it's it's other, you
know, policies in reference to because
this is a school um that we have to go
by. So, um I still have to, you know,
obviously speak with um supervisors and
make sure that I'm I'm following all
rights and protocols because even though
you might not want to prosecute, state
says that I might have to. So, I have to
go by what they say. So, um I just want
to let you know that I will give them uh
the copy of the case number and you guys
can contact uh for someone to come and
pick up the kid and say I'm not.
>> In the end, she was taken to jail and
faced criminal charges, felony level
child neglect and allowing a minor
access to a firearm. If convicted,
consequences could include fines up to
$5,500,
up to 5 years of probation, loss of
firearm rights, and involvement from
child protective services.
A lunchbox put a mother in handcuffs.
But what made officers go ice cold was
the kind of home that can swallow a
child whole.
On July 20th, 2025, police were called
out for a conflict between a mother and
her son. At first, it sounded like a
regular family argument. But after just
a few minutes checking the scene, the
details stopped lining up. What they
found next completely changed how they
handled the call. Here's what happened.
Y'all need to take him.
>> Y'all need to take him.
>> Pick me.
>> Y'all need to get him.
>> Pick me.
>> Y'all need to take him. Take his ass,
sir.
>> He ain't coming back in this house.
>> You start I'm done.
>> Take his ass to jail. He going where he
want to be.
>> I'm kill you when I come out. Hey, you
talking about you? DON'T DO IT. DON'T DO
IT.
Do it.
He the one scream or he
>> he's the one screaming. I need one of
you to stand by with him.
>> Was he hitting her when you got here?
>> He was hitting her as soon as you got
here.
>> Yeah.
>> Hold on. WE PUT THE DOGS UP.
I don't blame the kid and the family.
>> We'll get there. Can you tell me what
happened?
>> Yeah. So, he's been slick out the mouth
all day. Mhm.
>> Real slick, real nasty. You all this
stuff. And I tell him to leave me alone.
So, I was out here on the bed minding my
own business. I want to go cookies. So,
I sat up there and he going to try to
snatch him out of my hand. So then he
goes to try to antagonize, still provoke
the situation, stood on the bed. I asked
him, "Can you please remove yourself? I
don't want to talk to you. You don't
need to be around me right now with how
you talking to me." I've had multiple
issues with him. put hands on me. He's
sitting up there off the bed. I asked
him to move and he's not moving. I said,
"You need to move from out my premises
right now. I don't want to speak to
you." So, I pushed him off my bed. He
going to turn around, put his phone
down, and come and swing on me. And
that's when I choked his ass the up
because he was pulling my head and
trying to still hit me. His stepdad in
there right now could be a witness to
everything.
>> Okay. What's going on with you, man? Why
you upset?
>> I told her to put my damn shoes down. I
try to grab my basketball shoes to tell
her to put her down. She want to push
me. So I put my head back on her and
then that's when the fight start
happening.
>> This wasn't a call to teach a kid a
lesson. It was an attempt to hand the
burden of discipline over to state
power. The mother frames the story
around I'm the victim as a way to
protect herself. The 13-year-old fires
back with threats, not because he's
evil, but because that's the survival
language of a mind raised in chaos.
threw your phone in the room and then
what?
>> Then I went back out there. That's when
me and her started throwing hands and
then she asked me to choke.
>> So who threw the hands first?
>> Her.
>> What did she do?
>> Pushed me. Then when I came back out, I
sw I smoked on her.
>> So she pushed you like telling you to go
back to your room or what?
>> Mm- like a full push. So she just push
you
>> and that irritate you irritated me and
then after.
>> So then you just punch her with your
fist.
>> You know your your parents are allowed
to do corporal punishment, right?
So if they're giving you some kind of
guidance and they're telling you, hey,
stop doing this or go to your room or
whatever.
>> She didn't she didn't tell me to stop. I
think
>> you said you just said you guys were
verbally arguing and then that's when
she pushed you. Can you tell me what
happened with her?
>> She told her to get out of his face from
death to death.
>> Mhm.
>> I had to get up and grab him and put him
in the room.
>> Did he swing at her first?
>> I'm not going to touch my child. I'm
saying myself.
>> He tell you to get out of the face.
>> That's your son or
>> That's my physical son. Yes. I carried
him for 8 months in one week. Pedal.
>> It don't matter if she hit him or not.
That's her job.
>> If I tell you to get out of my face and
you steady provoking me, you and I move
you away from me. I ain't swinging on
him. I got the right to move him out of
my face.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I went to go push him out of my bed
and out of my face. He gonna buck up to
me like he hard
>> and he gonna swing on me. So, I got him
in a choke hold and I put my hand down
on his throat and he's still trying to
swing on me and pull my hair. Even when
he was removed from the situation, you
can see his room all the property damage
he did in there and I'm going to have to
come out of pocket for he's not coming
back here until he learned his lesson.
I've tried.
>> Mhm.
>> So, she asked you to feed the cats and
you didn't want it. So that so that kind
of started it basically.
>> At least you're going to go somewhere a
lot cleaner. Okay. I I know you're going
to juvie, but just from standing
outside, I wouldn't even want to be in
there. Okay. So, we're going to get it
figured out.
>> The mother stops looking at her own
behavior and focuses on how the child
deserves it. When the privilege of
motherhood becomes a moral shield, the
safety line disappears. The danger isn't
just a shove or a hit. It's the kind of
home that taught anger how to live.
>> Where is
your injury? The
>> some more in school.
>> All right. Just put your arms out like
this for me.
Flip them. Bring them a little bit
closer.
Then show me where you were.
>> He grabbed you or
>> Yeah, he was swinging on me and he
grabbed me and he grabbed my hair as
well. But that's all from him swinging
that swollenness right there. Okay.
There's some red marks.
>> Let me see your face.
>> Hold on. Sorry.
>> Look left.
>> Great.
>> I know that.
>> So, you said he messed up his room,
right?
>> Yeah.
We just moved, but he broke my TV. He um
>> So, I just need to go in there and
verify you got electricity, running
water. kept saying she was going to sell
my Xbox, the TV that she bought.
And after that, she tried my shoes that
I I was going to use for school
and
join them.
>> How long have you been living like that?
>> H
>> How long have you been living like that?
>> Nearly a year, I think.
>> Like a year.
>> Nearly. But we have
>> Dude, you got poop all over your room
and stuff.
Like a lot of poop.
>> I I can't breathe in that house.
>> You can take him out of cuffs. Just
leave him in the car. I'm going to call
her.
>> Yeah, bro. Hey, what I seen in there is
worst thing I've ever seen.
So, just stay in the car for us. We'll
figure everything out. All right, bud.
>> Hey, sir. Can you come over, Susie? Um,
I think I'm going to have to arrest both
the parents for uh neglect. And um I
haven't looked up exactly charge, but
like the housing there is disgusting.
He's living in feces. Like there's just
all over his room and bed and all over
the house. You can smell it from the
outside. Um Okay.
>> This isn't just mom and son drama
anymore. It's the warning sign of
long-term neglect. Officers go inside
and check the basics. power, water,
food, but they walk out carrying
secondary trauma. When things cross a
certain line, the body reacts before the
mind can explain it. That boy's rage
isn't random. It's born from
helplessness.
>> We'll knock on the door if we need
anything else. Let me go see what he has
right now.
>> Let's go get some cigarettes. So,
>> okay.
>> All right. Thank you.
>> No problem.
>> Bro, he's literally living
in the middle of the room
>> with no bedding. This room is like like
it's inhumane. There's drugs everywhere.
>> Like I'm traumatized by what I just
seen.
>> I could smell it from the outside. All
the
>> mom. I don't know how he's not covered
in bed bugs.
>> Yeah.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> You might even have um animal cruelty.
>> Three dogs inside of one cage living in
feces.
>> Bro, as a dad of a 10-year-old boy, that
[ __ ] breaks my heart.
>> Step over here real quick.
>> Yeah. You have some redness on your
face.
>> Yeah, that's where where he swung from.
Yeah. All day. I mean, I don't know. I
don't know what else to do. You know,
it's it's I had to choke my son. I don't
want it, but you can't keep swinging on
people. I do what I can. And I know he's
a good kid. He got anger issues and he
doesn't know how to do it, but you can't
swing on people.
>> Yeah. So, let's do this. Uh, we got to
do a walk through the house. I know they
did that already, but we got to do that
again. The dogs put up.
>> Yeah, they're put up. I do got cats out,
though.
>> Okay, I'm fine. Okay. All right.
>> No issues with cats.
>> All right.
>> Not allergic.
>> Okay.
>> Let me get my phone. I feel like I'm
going to need to make a phone call quick
>> because I don't know what they trying to
do. They got me trying to stay outside.
I can't even walk.
>> All right. Well, you need to hurry up
and come back
>> ASAP.
>> Just go ahead and stay outside.
>> I can't put this back in my house. Why?
Why can't it keep
>> Why can't I go in my household, though?
>> Just keep it outside.
>> I didn't do anything wrong.
>> Okay.
>> So, why can't I go in my household?
>> Cuz I'm telling you not to.
>> Why though? Cuz you're being detained
right now.
>> For what?
>> Criminal charges for child neighbors.
>> For neglect?
>> Yeah.
>> For what?
>> He's not neglected.
>> Disgusting in there.
>> Okay. I'm not the only person that lives
there.
>> You said you are.
>> Me and him do. And he just got kicked
out a week ago. Yeah.
>> What?
>> Hey, they trying to take me to jail for
child neglect.
>> So, do
>> Huh?
>> Ma'am, can I talk to you real quick?
>> I'm talking to my dad cuz he just told
me I'm being detained. So, I just want
something to know.
>> Okay. Well, no problem. Can you do me a
favor? Put out the cigarette.
>> Can I finish smoking it first before you
yall put me in handcuffs?
>> Two quick puffs.
>> Okay.
>> When adults are burned out and used to
living in chaos, morality goes numb.
They push the weight onto the child. She
blames him for not cleaning, dumping the
failure of the whole system onto a
13-year-old's shoulders. That's the kind
of adult who loves punishment, but can't
carry the responsibility of nurturing.
>> Hey, come on. They're taking me to jail.
>> Sir, do me a favor. Just hang out here
for a second.
>> For
>> child neglect.
>> Child neglect. She don't know child
neglect. What's the child neglect?
>> Hold on. Hold up.
>> What's the child neglect?
>> The living conditions of four inside the
house. Okay.
>> So,
>> he don't clean.
>> Well, it's still part of
>> You tell him to clean, he don't clean.
>> He's a juvenile.
>> He's a He can clean, too. If you can
eat, you can clean.
>> I get that. I understand that. Right.
But it's But it's not only hang out by
the car. This one right here. The first
one.
>> Just leave it. It's fine. Just take care
of the animals, please.
>> Walk over.
>> The the the actual living room itself is
in the same condition as his room. And
his room isn't great.
>> Okay. The living room is not great. It's
hard. And I get it, right? Sometimes
we're in these predicaments where have
the ability necessarily to take care of
everything that we
>> both We both work.
>> Okay.
>> Everything. You don't want to clean
nothing. But at some point, right, for
animals and and it's more or less
because of the animals, right? Because
there's feces all over the place and
it's dried feces and it smells like
urine, which means the dogs aren't being
taken out.
>> Yeah, they take it out,
>> but but at some point they're they're
urinating and and and defecating inside
the house. Okay. It's extremely poor
healthwise to be breathing all that in.
It's not great. Right.
>> I need it for when I get out for someone
come hit me.
>> Sure.
>> How am I with a seat belt right there?
You can just Hey, whatever happens
today,
>> I'm sorry for everything that you've
been having to go through. All right?
You shouldn't be living that way. All
right? And I feel for you. I really do.
All right?
I'm sorry you had to live that way. All
right? You didn't do the best when I was
younger. It hurt like real bad.
I got you.
I'm sorry.
All right.
No
custo.
All right, man. So, I just got done
speaking with your boyfriend. Okay. Do
you want the house to be released to
him?
>> Yeah.
>> Do you want the car to be released to
him?
>> Thanks to him. He got my keys. He's fine
with all that. I just want to make sure
that you're okay with that because it's
>> I mean, I ain't got nothing else. That's
all I got. So, yeah, he's fine.
>> In the end, the boy could face juvenile
charges for domestic violence based on
the initial statement that he hit his
mother and on behavior officers
witnessed. He's taken to juvenile intake
to be processed before the next step is
decided. Meanwhile, the mother is taken
to jail and faces child neglect charges
tied to hazardous living conditions. If
convicted, penalties could reach $10,000
up to one year in jail and limits on
custody rights. And tell me, do you
think the father also played a big role
in how this tragedy happened? Drop your
thoughts in the comments.
One child gets pulled out of hell. The
very next scene, another child gets
pulled into an adult war.
On October 27th, 2025, police were
called to a daycare after parents
accused a teacher of grabbing their
son's arm and knocking him down, leaving
a mark behind. The mother's anger
exploded on the spot. And once the body
cam started rolling, the truth began to
surface in ways no [music] one expected.
>> Um, I came to pick him up right now
after school and um, he he was fine
until he showed me his arm,
>> right? And um started telling me that
one of the teachers, Miss Heather,
grabbed him by his arm and pushed him
really hard and far away.
>> And um because I guess he had grabbed a
toy,
>> right?
>> And um but this is not okay.
>> Okay.
>> I She literally him.
>> Okay.
>> Like you I understand you like he was
being bad.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
>> And we're going to charge his own. Okay.
All right. First off, who are you to the
child?
>> He's my son.
>> Is your son okay? I need to see your ID.
>> It's in the car.
>> Forget it.
>> Where's the key at?
>> No, don't take his shirt off.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yes, papy. Yes. Yes.
Something to
leave his shirt.
>> Don't be scared of the police, man.
Papy. Okay. Why are you taking his shirt
off?
>> So So,
>> ma'am, put his shirt back on.
>> No, that's fine.
>> No, that's not fine. They don't like to
have their shirts take it off. Put it
back on. I don't need it. You take off
his shirt to just look at his arm. Come
on.
>> Think Think think about what you're
doing.
>> No. No. But are you like That's fine.
Just
>> No, ma'am. Put his shirt back on,
please.
>> And I want you to put both arms out like
this. Like I'm doing right now. Like
that. Okay. Very good.
>> So, what do you what happened, Mom?
What?
>> So, I came to pick him up. I had just
gotten out of, you know, going in and I
came to pick him up.
>> Like, usually this is the time I pick
him up.
pain and he has his shirt off
there in the the lobby the front and he
comes and he's
>> and that's when I he start he shows me
his arm before they even try to give me
an incident report he shows me his arm
and he's like mommy look and I saw it
and I'm like who did this to you and
he's like Miss Heather he's like Miss
Heather grabbed me by the arm and then
he pushed me back um and because I guess
>> a mother's concern is understandable,
but what officers observed showed
something else at work. The primary goal
was to block the process and keep
control of the scene. From the start,
she wouldn't let anyone approach the
child to check the injury. Then she
locked the narrative in place and
defended it hard.
>> Um, I think I have the checker here.
>> Approximately, it doesn't have to be
exact. some props for 7.
>> Okay.
>> I need 9:00.
>> Okay. And he and none of that was there.
There were no previous injuries on that
arm whatsoever.
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> And he told you that he was he was
grabbed on the arm.
>> Yeah. That she grabbed him by the arm
and that she him pretty hard cuz he he
demonstrated to me. He walked all the
way by his mommy. He pushed face.
>> Okay. Now, who's Miss Heather?
>> Miss Heather is one of the teachers
there.
>> One is it one of his teachers? No. Okay.
>> But I know.
>> Did you go inside the school to speak to
anybody?
>> No. Right there in the front.
>> They're right there in the front. That's
the only person you talked to.
>> There was an incident report.
>> Whenever there's an incident like I have
to say, but um but I didn't even look at
the paper, grab it or anything like
that's when I saw the I was like I'm not
signing anything.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Now, my question is, has has he
ever had any issues with this teacher
before?
>> No, not that I know of.
>> Not that you know of. He's he's never
had dealt with her that you know of.
>> Um
the only the only thing I noticed was
this past was it this past week that
they did pictures?
>> Last week?
>> Yeah. Um
I was here. He was um I had came to do
pictures, but he only came for pictures.
So, I came, I changed them, and we were
playing pictures.
>> Or was it that day? It it had to be that
day. If not, it was, but it was that
this past week. And she she just made um
the comment of, "Oh, I'm going to I'm
going to be your son's ass." She's like,
"Whatever he wants has to go."
>> And I just I just stayed like, "What the
hell?" Like, I didn't say anything cuz I
was leaving. I just stayed quiet. I just
left. But I come show up here today. And
he's like this. And it was with her.
Even a small red mark was enough to set
everything off. This wasn't just about
today. It was a release of long built
anxiety and fear. Police had to separate
facts from emotional chaos, even as they
themselves were pulled into an adult
battle over whose story would win.
>> Don't do anything. I mean, I guess
I freaking do.
>> NO.
>> TELL him you call me another person. No,
he's not going to want to talk to any of
you guys.
>> Yeah, [clears throat] BUT WHAT THE HECK?
I DIDN'T TOUCH HIM.
>> Maybe I knocked him.
>> No.
>> Can I talk to Miss B?
>> She's right here.
>> Hey,
>> didn't touch him.
>> Listen, man. We'll give you a few
minutes, but then we're going to have to
walk you outside. Okay.
>> We're not going to put handcuffs on you
in here.
>> Yeah. I don't want to put cuffs in here,
master. You don't want to ask for you.
>> But how does that even how does that
really even take place though? I didn't
even touch his arm. But yet his his
aunt, she was holding him like this.
There's two people that seen her holding
like this and even dragged him to the
lounge or something. I don't know. BUT I
DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THIS ARM AND I DIDN'T
I DIDN'T TOUCH ANYWHERE DOWN HERE. DOES
HE HAVE A MARK right here?
>> No, I TOOK
>> SO WHAT THE HECK? If anything, he would
have arc right here. I didn't touch him
anywhere right here. SO, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND. HOW THE HECK IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO BE POSSIBLE?
>> Thing that I I would just ask guys,
officers, is to wait and talk to a
couple of the kids tomorrow. They see
things too.
>> I HAVE TWO GIRLS. MY DAD HAS MY GIRLS
RIGHT NOW. Are you kidding me? I didn't
touch his.
>> Yes.
>> So then if it's like that, then his arm
should be taken too though. She touched
him.
>> Huh? Remember you told me that you saw
this in the morning and she saw
>> I didn't see that in the morning. I said
somebody said it.
>> Okay.
>> Um, of course.
>> Can you talk to her dad?
>> Yeah, we we we can speak to everybody.
We just need to
>> we have to get her outside first.
>> What's the difference of getting outside
and just sitting right here?
>> Because Miss William, we have to take
you into custody.
>> Licensed child care facilities are
required to have security cameras to
protect both children and staff. What
officers saw was someone who lacked
emotional regulation. That's dangerous
in any setting, but especially around
young kids who can be sweet one minute
and overwhelming the next.
>> This is some [ __ ] and you're going
to take me to jail, so I really just
Please be quiet. Please
like I have no say so in any OF THIS.
IT'S OH, d is officer a homestead police
department. How you doing, sir? Listen,
is she's going to be taken to Homestead
Police Station, okay? which is going to
be booked and processed and then from
there she'll go to TGK. Okay. Which is
the county jail on the Okay.
>> What are the charges? What is where
where are right?
>> That's why I asked him. He said he can't
he's not telling me that I have to go.
>> No. I just want to know exactly what am
I being taken for? [snorts]
>> There has to be a reason why you're
doing this.
>> So that's why I'm asking what exactly am
I being taken for?
>> He's going to You already explained it.
He's going to explain one more time.
>> You're being arrested
>> for that child.
>> What else do you need? Oh, so they're
saying ch.
>> Are you freaking kidding me?
>> Okay, ma'am. Are you we going to go or
not? Because I can't stay here for step
out, man.
>> How could Miss How can this happen?
>> That doesn't make any sense. That's the
thing. It doesn't make any sense. Dada.
>> We've never had u never had anything
like this before.
>> But also, it's a she say point fingers
type thing, though. But yet, I never
touched HIM THERE. ROSA HAD HIS HER
HANDS ON him
and other staff members said THEY SEEN
HER DRAG HIM INTO THE lounge
and I seen with my own eyes Rosa
grabbing his arm.
>> So how are you BEING
>> BECAUSE THEY don't care to the other
teacher? That's all that
>> I didn't speak with anybody.
>> I told him that other people did
>> speak to the other teacher.
>> I this is the first I heard of that.
They were telling me all this when I
found out and I told him
>> freaking people.
>> Listen, I need your phone. Okay.
[snorts]
>> Now, I'm going to have to play some
handcuffs. You're going to stay in the
car while we do it. Okay.
How does that even really work though?
How do you just like have a say so from
somebody when you have witnesses seeing
that they put their hands on them?
>> I don't understand that. Really? I know.
>> Licensed child care facilities are
required to have security cameras to
protect both children and staff. What
officers saw was someone who lacked
emotional regulation. That's dangerous
in any setting, but especially around
young kids who can be sweet one minute
and overwhelming the next.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Get here before you start asking for
people.
>> Sir,
>> ma'am,
>> hold on. Hold on.
How do these things usually go or how do
they even
>> disrepatch
to 631?
>> So with the with the understanding that
I'm not the investigating officer for
this I'm going to just explain to you
how investigation goes.
>> Okay. Whatever allegation was made which
once again I wasn't there for but
whatever allegation was made okay it was
investigated by the primary officer.
Okay. Due to the nature of the
allegation okay it gets sent to our GI
division. Our GIU division comes on
scene and they investigate the parties
and they establish what's called
probable cause. Okay? Probable cause in
the state of Florida gives police
officers the right to place you under
arrest. It doesn't mean you're convicted
of any crime. Okay? You're still
innocent until proven guilty. That's not
just a saying. That's literally how it
goes. Okay?
During that investigation, it was
established that there's enough probable
cause to place you in custody. Okay? So,
right now, this is what's called taking
the ride. So, you're getting booked in
process. You're going to go to TGK.
You're going to have a 24-hour probable
cause hearing.
I [snorts] just don't understand it when
there's no facts or seeing that I
touched him, but there's facts and
they're seeing that she touched him.
>> That's just it doesn't make sense.
>> I can't tell you specifically.
>> No, I know. I just It's I think that's
off the jury.
>> You have a ring line.
>> I've been a teacher for 10 years. Never
once out of 10 years. And then
[clears throat] now all of a sudden
something happens. [snorts]
And I can understand if I actually did
touch the kid anywhere here. I didn't
touch him anywhere here. Right here. And
it's not like I grabbed him and said,
"Get up." And said, "All right, come on
y'all. We have to go to class." And he
got up with me like this. And then I
guided him by his back. [snorts] But yet
he's a stand standing there grabbing his
arm like this
to me. do that.
>> If this is how she behaved toward
[music] police, it's not hard to imagine
how she might react when surrounded by
stressed, noisy children. In the end,
she was arrested and faced charges of
child abuse without serious bodily
injury. If convicted, penalties could
include several years in prison, 18
months of probation, a $5,000 fine, and
most severely, a permanent ban from
working with children, and loss of her
professional certification.
One call accusing someone of going too
far was still echoing when another
curtain dropped. A mother and daughter
taken into custody in a moment no one
saw coming.
On August 11th, 2025, Westerville police
tracked down a vehicle tied to multiple
shoplifting cases across the city. The
registered owner was a mother with
several active warrants. Once officers
moved in, every attempt to control the
narrative collapsed fast. Here's what
happened. What's going on?
>> Hey, Tamara.
>> Hey.
>> You might step out vehicle.
>> Oh, finally got caught, huh? Stealing.
You got a bunch of warrants. Turn
around.
>> Drop whatever's in your hand.
>> That's fine.
>> You have one second.
>> Don't. No. Do not pull away. Don't.
You're not giving her a hug right now.
>> I'm not giving you a single chance.
Do not
>> stop resisting. Stop. You are under
arrest right now. Okay.
>> Stop resisting.
>> She's going to be a coach. She
handcuffed, but she's pulling away from
us.
>> If you work with us, we'll work with
you. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> What? God
dang.
>> Do not slip out of these cops.
>> I'm not going. Then put your hand back
in.
>> Who's in there right now? I don't know.
>> What are they doing in there?
>> All right. Listen. So, real quick, you
do have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can't be used against
you as a foot of law. You have the right
to an attorney. If you can't afford one,
one will be provided for you by
>> your rights in mind. Do you wish to talk
to us?
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Who's in there right now? Is it
Anderson?
>> Okay.
>> Anderson.
>> Yeah.
>> Anderson. A girl or a boy?
>> Boy.
>> Um, can you spread your feet a little
bit? Is it a white male?
>> Yeah.
>> Anderson.
>> Is he Does he own this car here?
>> Yeah.
>> Who's the RO of the 12?
>> Um, God.
It's not his name, but otherwise
>> Yeah. And is um the last name is um
>> Okay, listen. Thank you for starting to
work with us now. I would not.
>> Okay. Unfortunately, the jail is not
going to allow it. But
>> can I just smoke it right here?
>> No.
>> You know Lee Ramos?
>> That's Is that who's inside right now?
What's he doing?
>> He's not.
>> I'm going to take your sunglasses off so
I don't get lost. Okay.
>> Yeah. I need you to focus in. What do
you want? How are we going to take care
of your daughter? Who's going to be
responsible for on my phone right now?
I'm not doing anything right. Okay.
This arrest felt less like a lucky catch
and more like a long overdue reclaiming
of authority. When she was taken into
custody, she didn't treat it as the end,
but as another familiar chapter in a
drawn out chase, where she believed she
knew the law and could still control the
pace. Her own words painted a clear
picture of the bad mom underneath.
>> Did you steal all the trading cards and
stuff from yesterday with the cooler?
You don't know.
>> You got warrants for like days. How many
you have?
>> A lot. Four through Delaware County
alone. And then the the one that I was
going to issue on you tonight. So that
makes five through Delaware County.
>> Where's the guy at?
>> He's right there. The one that helps you
drive and steal.
>> You have one steel.
>> Yeah. You remember when he took Did he
take off from officers with you in the
car before?
>> Vehicles in over here.
>> I'm sure at some point, but we're
dealing with something. So
>> So you remember stealing yesterday from
Meyer? Yeah. Okay. You know how much
items you stole? the worth of it.
>> No,
>> you don't. $800. What' you do with them?
The trading cards and stuff. What' you
do with them?
>> Did you sell them?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Who'd you sell them to?
>> Can you help my daughter?
>> Huh?
>> Can you go for laya?
>> I'm not going to bring her over here.
I'll go tell her or something.
>> Ask her if she
>> turn that way. I'm going to check these
cops.
>> Hey, what's going on, sir? I'm officer
straight for Westboro Police Department.
Yeah.
>> You know Tara?
>> Terra?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I know her.
>> You know her? How well do you know her?
>> She's related to a friend of mine. Well,
my sister grew up with her uh her her
husband.
>> Okay.
>> My sister grew up when I kn my life.
>> Okay. What were you doing yesterday?
>> Yesterday?
>> Yeah.
>> I wasn't yesterday.
>> Yesterday?
>> Yeah.
>> Is this your car here?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. You weren't driving it yesterday?
>> Who was driving it yesterday?
>> Where'd she go?
>> I have no idea.
>> Okay.
>> I was sleeping.
>> You were sleeping?
Do you live with Terra?
>> No,
>> you don't.
>> No, she stay t once in a while.
>> Okay.
>> I just rent a room lady up a little bit
north
>> and I give her a ride here and there.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. So, you weren't at the Home Depot
yesterday?
>> No.
>> Okay. Were you at the Meyer?
>> No.
>> No.
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> I was
I went nowhere near
>> You weren't?
>> No.
>> Okay. Well, so right now Terra's being
arrested because uh yesterday she was
stealing items from Meyer. Okay. So I
don't know if you were there. We can't
prove that right now.
>> This bad mom didn't exist in isolation.
She was part of a wider adult network
living in the gray zone. Prior records,
fuzzy memories, stitched together
stories. Wrongdoing had been normalized
so thoroughly that every runin with the
law felt like paperwork, not a moral
line crossed.
>> I haven't did anything. I don't know why
you guys harassed me.
Time out. Nobody's harassing you.
>> Well, I mean, I go use the restroom and
come out. I ain't did nothing.
>> Okay. Your car was used in a theft
yesterday. She's got a bunch of warrants
for her arrest.
>> I know. She has more.
>> She's out here screaming.
>> I know. She screaming. What are you
talking about?
>> I want you to calm down.
>> Calm down.
>> So, that's why we're here.
>> That's not harassment. That's us doing
our jobs, right?
>> Did that accident affect your memory at
all?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Yeah. That's got to be tough.
>> I lived in my head business. Okay.
>> Homestead for like 10 years.
>> So, check this out, though, real quick.
So, we're going to be able to see where
your phone was pinging and all that,
right?
>> Yeah. I
>> Is it going to ping there yesterday?
>> I don't know if you going to ping there
or not. Yesterday, I said I was I was I
was out.
>> Okay. But
>> I ain't going to jail or anything.
Nothing. I'm car.
>> That's the same car that was I have
pictures where they were in here
stealing. I sent it to my supervisor a
couple weeks ago. Well, no, it was a few
It was a couple weeks ago. I got
pictures. That's the same car. If you
want to see it, I think I still have
them.
>> Did you make a report with Janoa yet?
>> I don't know if she did or not.
>> Okay. If she did, if you want to let her
know, have to know contact. We'll give
them all the information and all that.
They were in here stealing a couple
weeks ago. I figured
you get that on our roadway.
>> Yeah, he's suspended.
>> Deal with that, too.
>> He's suspended.
>> And I can show you like I didn't realize
he was suspended.
>> He went out towards uh State Street. So,
he has to he has to go eastbound or
westbound.
>> Well, he was out in the car waiting on
the girl and then she he was chucking
them in there.
>> Oh, this a couple weeks ago.
>> Yeah. Uh let's see. I sent that. Um
>> that's all you, man. That was all you.
>> Uh July 18.
>> When everyone is unstable, morality gets
traded for negotiation. Survival starts
to outweigh responsibility. A child
grows up with the constant risk of
traffic stops and handcuffs in a parking
lot. The mother wasn't just stressed.
She knew jail was coming and that detox
would happen behind bars.
>> What drugs do you do?
>> Huh?
>> I don't have any bags.
>> Honestly, at this point, just kind of
curious. Like, you obviously don't have
any on you, so you're not going to get
charged with it.
>> Huh?
>> Never mind.
>> Okay.
>> Do you have any bags?
>> Fentanyl.
>> Fentanyl. That stuff will kill you, man.
Stop doing that.
>> You can look at the cameras, the
pictures in in there, and see you can
look at the pictures and see that I'm
not not the one that was driving
>> that you're not the one that was
driving.
>> I just have seizures and I'm not I'm not
saying I'm going to have one, but I'm
sure that everyone already know that.
But
>> well, if you have one, I'll make sure
that uh the next come and check you out.
Okay.
>> Under stress when I'm like when I get
stressed out I have a really bad one the
other day and um [clears throat]
>> I don't know.
>> There's nothing to be stressed out about
right now. It's all over with. You're
going to get it all taken care of.
>> [snorts]
>> playing with us anymore.
>> I'm stressed out.
>> Were you listening to the scanner
yesterday?
>> No.
>> No. Why not?
>> You didn't feel like it. I I didn't
think there was a cop.
>> I didn't think I was hot.
>> I didn't know
this officer.
>> And then if you don't mind, I just want
to read you your rights again before we
go forward. Okay. So before we ask you
any questions, you must understand your
rights. You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can't be used
against you in court. So if you don't
mind, if you'll just come up here and
write your name and then sign, please.
>> Yep. Name, right? That's your signature
there. What do you do with the trading
cards? Just sell them and then
>> Yeah. I I assume that's why you do it
for the drugs then. Do you want to be on
drugs?
>> No.
>> Yeah. I I can't even imagine that. I'm
sure that's like part of you wants to
not be on them, but then they're so
strong that you have no choice. Um, so I
I sympathize with you. That's got to be
tough. Um, especially with your
daughter.
>> I'm not born yet.
>> You have four. Where are the other
three?
>> I mean, it seems like you want to be a
good mom and you want to be there for
him and then it's just the fentanyl and
everything doesn't let you.
or anything like that.
>> You have seizures, too.
>> Yeah.
>> What's most alarming is that she showed
no fear of fentanyl withdrawal or
seizures. Theft was no longer about
desire. It was about a mind always
running empty, always needing money and
relief. Right now, the instinct to love
her child was still there, but addiction
twisted it into a form of self soothing.
>> Physical, mental, or dental disorders.
>> No. Oh, yeah. What do you think?
>> Physical, mental, or dental disorders.
>> Yeah. I don't I see that. Yeah. Okay.
So, she has seizures, Zimba.
>> Okay.
>> So, was he he was driving you yesterday?
>> Yeah.
>> It's funny cuz when you run his license
plate, his photo, his it looks like his
nose was chopped off almost.
>> Like, what happened? Is that from drug
use?
>> No, I don't know what Okay. Okay. But he
he was driving you yesterday.
>> He had a metal in
>> Hey, Terra. Did you take some fentanyl
today?
>> Wait a long time ago.
>> It was a long time ago. Okay. All
righty.
>> Yeah.
Will you put a little bit of this on? It
just helps. It's going to make it a lot
faster while you're frying.
>> Oh, I have a hairline. Can I tie my
hair?
>> Yeah. Can we do that after this if you
don't mind? You'll just need to rub that
in a little bit.
And then I'll have you come here. We're
going to have to get a little close for
a bit. Go like this.
>> Oh my god, that face is so stupid.
Almost done.
>> Almost done. We're
This is that hard one.
You think it's clean? You got it.
>> Oh shoot. Got to do it again.
>> The whole thing.
>> No, just your pinky.
>> Oh god. So
you don't have a jail here. Huh?
>> What?
>> You don't have a jail here?
>> A what? Here.
>> You don't have a jail?
>> A jail?
>> No.
>> We have a few cells.
>> All right. You can go out there and have
a seat. All right.
Yeah, that's fine.
>> In the end, she was taken to jail and
faced charges including retail theft,
resisting an officer, and execution of
multiple outstanding warrants. Potential
penalties could include up to 2 years in
jail, probation or suspended sentencing
up to 18 months, fines up to $3,000,
restitution, and mandatory substance
abuse treatment if the court weighs in
drug involvement.
Getting arrested out of nowhere wasn't
enough. From the back of the patrol car,
the next Karen still believed calling
911 would save her.
On November 24th, 2024,
police responded to a report that a
delivery driver had been attacked while
on the job. When they arrived, they met
Melissa, who kept denying everything and
fighting the officers at every turn.
Within minutes, the situation spun out
of control.
Oh, god damn. She's [ __ ]
>> Hey guys.
>> Hey. How are you doing?
>> Melissa.
>> Melissa.
>> This is not my house. You can't come in
here.
>> No. You need
Excuse me.
>> Whose house is this?
>> Bro,
am I under arrest?
>> Look.
>> All right.
>> Excuse me. Am I under arrest?
>> I do not flip.
>> Oh my god.
My shoes.
>> I know my right.
>> Let's go get to the car.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, I have you on date.
>> Yeah, we have you on date, too. Hold up.
>> This is how [screaming] it's going. This
is how it's going.
Do

>> Yeah, you do.
>> Oh, see you can walk this way.
>> No, I can't.
>> Wait, drag or carry?
>> Drag. I can carry.
>> Wait, what was your name?
>> They're trying to push me over.
>> No. What's your [ __ ] name?
>> Officer knifel.
>> Officer knifel. You said carry or drag?
>> Yeah, if we have to carry you, we will.

Bug just beat the [ __ ] out of me. John,
I have my John. Oh, I dropped my phone.
John, I still have my phone. They're
right here. I'm in a cupcake.
>> From the jump, she didn't step into that
interaction to get to the truth. She
stepped in to protect her symbolic
power, her image, her you can't talk to
me like that status. The second she
realized she wasn't in a space where she
could run the show, she built a new
stage with her phone, convinced that
dialing 911 would magically flip the
script.
>> Where are you taking me?
>> The station. What do you think,
>> sir? I do not like the way you talk to
me. I don't know what the [ __ ] I think.

>> You what?
>> I don't have to read you your rights.
>> Is that a new Illinois law?
>> What?
>> Is that a new Illinois law?
>> You have no idea what you're talking
about.
>> What? I have my phone on me. Do you want
to ask me again what I'm talking about,
officer, or do you want to pull over and
erase all this?
>> Hey, can you meet me and

HELP. You medium.
Okay, I'll be there in a minute. All

>> Yeah. In the very corner.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's that one. Uh the
younger the younger one I think is back
>> domestic.
>> Oh this [ __ ] [ __ ]
>> Hello
>> girl. I'm not around no cops and I need
your help.
>> You can tell she doesn't feel guilty
about what brought her to this moment.
Instead, she falls into that I can
negotiate my way out of reality mindset.
The louder she gets, the clearer the
truth becomes. Innocent people usually
want to clarify. Panicked people try to
erase, redirect, and overwhelm.
>> Yeah.
>> Put me on mute. Put me on mute.
>> All right. All right. Come on. Hop out.
>> I cannot handcuff.
>> Okay. Come on.
Can you stop this?
>> What is your name? NO, I CANNOT STOP
[ __ ] WHAT IS YOUR Don't [ __ ] touch
me until you identify yourself.
>> I already gave my name.
>> You did not give me your name or I would
not be asking. What is your name? I want
your sergeant. Bro, I DO NOT. BRO, DO

>> She She slipped out of a cuff.
>> Oh, okay.
>> So, she has one cuff on her.
>> What's her name?

>> Northwest. That's good.
>> Hey, Melissa.
>> Hi, baby.

>> Gang guy, you got the wrong
[ __ ] one. You better call
somebody else.
>> Here's the thing. We're trying. Listen,
I don't want I don't want to do this.
>> She wanted to win, but the crude,
aggressive behavior pushed everything
past the point of control. Her mouth
says she wants things to calm down,
while her brain is hooked on the rush of
feeling like she's winning an argument.
For someone like this, losing legally
isn't the scariest part. Losing status
in front of other people is.
>> Hey, listen. Do you want to
>> Stop talking me. I want my lawyer. Do
you want to dra do you want us to drag
you out?
>> Is that what you want?
>> I'm asking you nicely. Can you please

>> Correct.

>> No, I apologize. I'm officer. I'm not

>> That's fine.
>> He did.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> GET HIM THE WAY FROM ME and call
somebody.
>> Hey, listen.
>> Drag me out. I don't give a [ __ ]
>> Get him.
>> There's There's a phone right there. You

>> Oh, she's out now.
[laughter]
>> Oh, she's just
>> I thought you were a good one.
>> I thought too. I thought too.
Watch it.
>> In the end, she was taken to jail and
faced charges that could include
domestic violence causing injury,
assault, intentional assault, resisting
arrest, and assaulting an officer. If
convicted, potential consequences may
include 1 to 3 years in jail, up to 18
months of probation, fines around
$2,500, and a no contact order.
Calling 911 from the back of a patrol
car still wasn't enough because the next
mother hits the live stream convinced
the public will take her side.
On November 25th, 2024, after a report
of a couple fighting and then driving
away, police quickly identified the
vehicle involved, but when officers made
contact, they discovered the suspect was
live streaming her own arrest. In that
moment, what should have been routine
turned into a public exposure.
Call with me right now. Okay. Why do I
got to step out? Okay. Hey, we got a
call that there was a domestic
happening.
>> All the police. Oh, no. You can't open
the door.
>> So, listen to me.
>> No. I need to know why.
>> There was there was a call that there
was there's a domestic. There was there
was a domestic that was happening. Okay.
>> The same Ultima. Red Alultima.
>> Maybe. So, so nope. He's not digging.
Put your gun down, buddy. You're on
recording.
>> Listen to me.
>> We're on no [ __ ] We went there to
get his tools and Justin and his camp.
They block this guy. The videos are
showing everything.
>> Okay.
>> And me and him do that. You're on
FaceTime live right now.
>> It's absolutely fine with me about the
vehicle.
>> You What's the probable cause?
>> Yeah. Call for a domestic probable
cause. Anyone out of a car? I've had
lots of lots of
>> You're just pressing buttons. You're
letting him. What the
>> do
you won't touch me? That's a problem.
Jump out the vehicle.
>> No, it's not.
>> You have to have probable cause, buddy.
>> You're on Facebook live.
>> Congratulations.
>> Any marks on you?
>> Nope.
>> How'd you get the marks on your head?
>> A scar?
>> No, you have blood.
>> You have blood right there on your head.
>> Maybe that's a scab.
>> We went to the trailer, which is a bait
house. I've been there before.
>> Oh, you're saying there's a domestic
thing going on
>> between me and you. I mean, just just
looking at you right now, you have
scratch on your face
>> because we told each other not to fight
with Justin and Kathy.
>> So, me and Aaron were arguing with each
other not to put our hands on these
losers.
>> Aaron, how'd you get that injury to your
face?
>> To my face?
>> Mhm.
>> No idea.
>> Well, I mean, it ain't fresh from like a
mechanic incident. Unless if you're
working on cars and whacking your head
off of it constantly.
>> Talking to her. You want to step out and
talk to me over here?
>> What's that?
>> I'm not playing Can you can you turn off
the car, please?
>> I don't want you to have it running and
it had a chance of you trying to take
off. SO, CAN YOU JUST please turn off
the vehicle?
>> We just went You said you wanted to know
what went on and we told you and then
you're still going on and on and on and
on.
>> What are you
>> I'm looking for.
>> From the start, she wasn't interested in
sorting out right from wrong. She wanted
an audience. Facebook Live became her
shield. She tried to turn the stop into
a public debate, but the more she
talked, the clearer it got. She was
terrified of being pulled out of the car
because the car was the last place she
could stall and stay in control.
>> Organ.
>> Okay. Hey, so you're telling me two
different two different names?
>> I can't tell you.
>> Okay. So, which one is it?
>> She needs to hand you that vape.
>> Okay. Hey, Megan. Is that THC?
>> Nope.
>> Okay. What is it?
>> The vape pen.
>> What's that? that no one's hit. So, it
doesn't matter.
>> Tell her to hand it to you.
>> Okay. Megan Morgan. Megan Morgan. Can I
have that? Can I have that, please?
>> No, thank you. I bought I have a I have
a medical card.
>> Okay. But you you can't transport in a
vehicle like this.
>> I just bought it from the dispensary.
>> Oh, so it's
been hit the unlock button
from the dispensary. So, I'm guessing
it's probably THC, correct?
>> You need to get it out for me.
Get out. You're stupid.
>> Please stop.
>> Turn around. Wrestling me.
>> Turn around.
>> Don't play, dumb like you didn't know
this was happening. I haven't been hit
so it doesn't matter.
>> Can I say bye to my daughter?
>> What am I being arrested for? Yeah, it's
my daughter.
>> What am I being arrested for, too?
>> Being detained right now.
>> For
>> You've got a cannabis vape in a
>> motor vehicle.
>> Okay. Do you want to say bye? Do you
want to [laughter] say bye or do you
want to go back in the squad?
>> What am I saying bye for?
>> Okay.
>> You can decide anytime to exercise. Can
I answer any questions or make any
statements?
>> Where's my daughter?
>> Do you understand your rights?
>> Where's my daughter going?
>> You understand your right?
>> Where is my daughter?
>> I don't know.
>> You don't know?
>> No.
>> You can please get on my face.
>> What?
>> Good. Good.
>> Girl, man is my girlfriend's going
through some real bad. Realing bad. real
realing mad trying to save her. I was
just trying to get my and be done with
all that [ __ ] down there. She got
mad.
>> We're good, dude. We'reing good. I
promise that.
>> So, she because of the Kathy down there.
She thinks she was trying to move into
my house cuz Justin had his camper
parked in my driveway for the past 3 and
1/2 months.
>> This mother spoke as if her daughter
barely registered. The one who kept
saying, "I know the law." Gave
inconsistent details. That inconsistency
wasn't just wrong. It was a survival
strategy, the kind manipulators rely on.
Meanwhile, the man talked in circles
trying to minimize damage.
>> What's her name?
>> Megan.
>> Is it Megan? Megan D. You said
>> Megan Dave D.
>> D.
>> She's just trying not to get any bullit
with her baby girl. That's
>> Well, I mean, she can't just give us
>> I know. I know. I know. She doesn't have
an ID either because it's expired.
>> Whatever, dude.
>> Sorry about that. Uh, what's your first
name?
>> Megan.
>> Megan or Morgan?
>> Megan. M G A. Why are you guys going in
the car like that?
>> Uh just because the open alcohol,
cannabis, all that type of stuff.
>> Not cannabis. It hasn't has been hit.
>> Yeah, it's you're transporting it in an
illegal fashion. It's got to be a sealed
sealed order life right there.
>> I know, but it's got to be in a sealed
ticket.
>> What's What's
>> Justin? That's my ex-boyfriend. I I just
started talking to him again in the last
two months.
>> This guy here.
>> Yeah. I've been with him for 6 years on
and off.
>> Okay. So, you went down there. So, then
what happened when you retrieved her
stuff? I think she got pissed because
she she noticed in her past she was with
some up people,
>> right?
>> And I guess this was like a trap house
or something back in the day.
>> Okay.
>> It's a meth house or something and she
thinks she's getting set up. So she lost
it.
>> I don't know the details.
>> It's just a it's drama drama dirty drug
[ __ ] And I came back around. I'm not on
drugs. I just want these people out of
Aaron's life. And then I was making sure
Aaron's not he said I'm going to get
tools from thising house. And
>> so as Kathy pulled up, she barricaded my
car.
>> Kathy did?
>> Yes. Megan and I justing she was just
mad at me just coming at me. And
>> what happened between you and Aaron
then?
>> I mean we got into it just like telling
each other like don'ting fight with
them. Don't fight with them. Don't fight
with them. And then I want Aaron to stop
defending them cuz I know he's scared of
them or something. I don't. It is drama.
Okay.
>> Stupid drama.
>> Okay. Did you ever put your hands on
her?
>> Would a video show anything different? I
mean, I I put my hands on her to keep
her off of me. Did you ever push her by
the neck, against the car? Push her
against the neck. Did you grab her by
the neck? Push her into a car at all?
>> I don't recall. If I did, I didn't do it
in any harm's way.
>> So, you're saying it was more
self-defense cuz she was coming at you?
Yes.
>> So, during the argument between you and
Aaron, did it get physical ever?
>> No.
>> And how did he get the scratches all
over him?
>> Uh, he was all
>> working on cars and they dropped aing
van on him. Okay.
>> His legs like half amputated.
>> Okay.
>> Man just randomly rolled on him. They
always tried to kill him.
>> And And how did you get the scratch on
your forehead? You said
>> maybe the baby.
>> Together. They formed a pattern of
emotional co-offending. Neither saw
themselves as the bad guy, but both
shifted the story away from their
actions and onto their circumstances. In
panic, they hoped police would let it
slide so their lives could stay intact.
The irony is that this very way of
living was already tearing everything
apart. stupid. And it's because she's
jealous. She's 28 years old. I'm 46.
We've been together 6 years off and on.
And that's not my baby. But she's
jealous. She loves me and I love her.
And that's it. And my baby girl means
everything to me and her.
>> You give me a breathalyzer if it's
under, you know.
>> I mean, just just from the smell of
smell. It doesn't smell like you're
under.
>> No, I bet not.
>> Yeah.
>> What's your name, man?
>> Aaron.
>> Aaron. You want You can jump back in,
start your car, and have it hurt. Yeah,
just so she's
>> Yeah.
>> Sounds like they she went after him. She
is the aggressor. It sounds like they
got the videos for it down there.
>> He ain't driving from here with that
baby.
>> What?
>> He ain't driving from here with that
baby.
>> No, he he's No, he's been driving.
>> Um, do you need any medical attention?
>> No one.
>> Okay. You live in Ottawa with him,
correct? Do you have any
>> past two weeks?
>> Okay. Do you have any family in the
area?
>> No.
>> No. Okay. Where's your nearest relative
at?
>> Don't have any.
>> Okay. Do you have anyone that could
watch your kids?
>> No.
>> So, am I going to jail or what? Is that
what you're trying to say?
>> That's what it's looking like, right?
I'm going to talk to this other deputy.
>> No, that's not fair to go. We're going
to take you to jail for a fake name.
>> No. Are you kidding me?
>> No, it's for the domestic that
>> What do the video showed is that you and
>> from down there showed you and Aaron
fighting each other and I'm just trying
to find a place for your kid to
>> He's not drunk. So, blow him and he can
take the baby.
>> He's not.
>> He's not drunk. I'll get out tomorrow
morning.
>> Okay. So, who's been drinking?
>> I have no idea.
>> Have you had anything to drink?
>> You have a cup of I'm going have you
blow into this. Okay. Right. The last
thing I want to do is for us have to
contact DCFS or something. Okay. If we
can manage.
>> So, is this like an unofficial thing or
>> Yes. Like you're not going to get a DUI.
Okay. All right. So, just take a big
breath and just blow into there until
you hear a beep. Keep going. Keep going.
Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
Perfect.
Okay. Yeah. It's too high to have you
drive. The focus shifted from arguing to
real world consequences involving a
child. Once testing confirmed an
elevated level, every earlier
explanation lost legal weight. What
followed was the collapse of a defensive
ego replaced by raw instinctive fear.
>> You don't have to take anything.
>> Hey, you've been you've been cool.
You've been cool.
>> You don't have to take pictures of my
face for what? A scratch.
>> It's all right. We'll get it off body.
Don't worry about it.
>> Okay.
>> What are you doing to your face right
now?
>> No, don't worry about it. We'll get
We'll get it off body. So, I want to be
very clear about you. Okay. Number one,
we could be taking you also for DUI.
We're trying to cut you the biggest
break we possibly can here. Okay, we are
stuck here.
>> I wanted you guys to take care of her.
>> Well, we're we're stuck in this mess
now. We're down here.
>> I wanted you guys to take care of her.
>> What's the real deal?
>> Listen to me.
>> Because if I'm not pressing charges, how
the can you guys because we're picking
up the charges
>> because you guys are being petty about
it.
>> Okay. Would you like to run through a
DUI investigation?
>> Listen. Listen.
>> Cuz I mean I mean and not just that, but
you have a baby in the car.
>> Please, please hear me out. I'm
>> If you hear me out, I'll hear you out.
You ready to listen to me?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Okay. We got called down here for an
issue. They told us that two people were
beating the shot of each other and that
that we need to get down
>> and we need to get down here as quick as
we could. When we came down here, they
said you were fleeing. We found you in
the car. That gives us every right to
investigate you and her with the proper
information to talk to you both. On top
of that, there is a child in the car. I
don't need your signature to sign
complaints. They showed me a video down
there when I went down there of her
attacking you and you pushing her away.
I technically could take you too for
domestic matter because you shoved her
into the car by her throat area. I'm
taking your benefit of the doubt that
she was the aggressor in this. I don't
need your signature. I am the state. I
can take advantage. I I I can take the
charges for this unfortunate.
>> We've got we took her into custody. He's
uh he's got a friend coming for him and
the baby. Uh he's going to get charged
also.
>> Right here is where he got me right
here.
>> Okay.
>> And he got I don't know that this was
not all cracked. It's got
>> marks where he's tried to finagle out of
there with that baby in that car. I did
not want him to leave with that baby
>> cuz I know he was drinking it and they
were smoking crack.
>> Yeah.
>> I can't believe that poor baby.
>> Right. And it's it's
>> In the end, the woman was taken to jail
and faced charges including domestic
violence, intentional property damage,
and obstruction for giving unclear
information and refusing to cooperate.
Though the charges were later dismissed,
she violated release conditions multiple
times, meaning she still faced up to 21
days in jail. While the arrest was still
live on social media, the scene cut to
an airport where causing a disturbance
doesn't mean drama. It means the end of
the line. On June 21st, 2024,
police responded at Hartsfield Jackson
International Airport after a passenger
was removed from a plane for causing a
disturbance. She claimed someone stole
her money, refused to calm down, and
tried to get back onto the aircraft.
From there, what looked like drama
started turning into a serious aviation
security situation.
>> What's going [clears throat] on?
>> You excited?
>> No, I don't.
>> No.
>> So, um, the flight, they requested the
door to be reopened. The aircraft door
the flight attendant requested the
aircraft door to be open. They said that
she was um having an altercation with a
customer um accusing the customer who
specifically was heard that he stole her
money and stuff on her bag.
>> Okay.
>> So when they went there they said that
she had the money stuck in her bag in
her pockets and stuff like that.
[laughter] So they feel like probably
she took something. So they tried to
talk to her. She would not calm down
still being in the circle [laughter]
still calm her down. Then they asked,
they'll tell her, "Okay, we're going to
take you off and put you on the next
flight." She refused to get off.
>> Where was the flight going?
>> So then she finally got off the airplane
herself.
>> Then she tried to run back on the plane.
>> When the flight attendant dump all
barricade, so she want to get on, she's
trying to fight through it.
>> You speak English?
>> You understand English?
>> Yes.
>> Okay. You know you can't do what you
did, right?
You cannot try to get
>> nothing. She doesn't have to do nothing.
Yeah. I
doesn't have to do nothing. I want
>> you. She going to get refunded. You said
>> I want to fly. Please. I have the bar
the password. Please.
>> Miss Maria.
>> Yeah. I
>> want you to listen to me. Okay.
>> No. I wasn't stolen. Please.
You going to listen or no?
>> I need you to listen.
>> You going to listen? [laughter]
>> This wasn't really about missing money
or winning an argument. It was about how
she acted inside a sealed cabin. When
people feel threatened, they tend to get
loud and try to take up space. Her
attempt to rush back toward the plane
was a major red flag because the
aviation system doesn't play around with
that.
>> Listen to me.
>> [laughter]
>> like this in my face.
>> So,
>> Maria, I need you to listen. Okay. I
need this to got to get yourself
together. I need you to listen to me
clearly. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Delta is going to refund you your
ticket. Okay.
>> So, when they refund you, you can book
with another airline, any airline you
want to go to your destination. Was it
Paris?
>> Uhhuh.
>> To go to Paris. You understand me?
So right now, no.
>> If you create, if you start to make a
scene, it's not going to be notched. You
understand me? So
>> they're going to refund you.
>> Your family here in Atlanta,
>> call your family or friend.
>> My family is in Colia.
>> Okay. You have any family in Atlanta?
>> Any friends here?
>> Friends?
>> Okay. Then you could
But they're going to refund you. You can
um get a hotel if you like and book
another flight with another airline
whenever you choose to.
>> But you're not flying with Delta. You
understand me?
>> You understand?
>> I don't know if you Yes or no to
>> to do this thing.
>> No, I can't do anything.
>> I'm just here because of your behavior.
>> [laughter]
>> If you can't do this,
>> I can't do anything. They're going to
refund you
>> and you can pick up another airline.
That's it.
>> I I really don't be
feel I re I really feel
sad and
shy to do things because
Okay. But right now
>> I can't I can't to stay in the airport.
>> You can't stay at the airport.
>> Airports run on cold procedures. She was
running on raw survival instinct. In a
strange place without support, dealing
with language barriers, she wasn't
steady enough to hear a solution. And
every time she dragged it back to my
money was stolen, she pushed herself
farther from the exit ramp mentally and
legally.
>> I I accept because I was stolen. Hey,
what's the story? She said that she said
that the guy stole $3,000.
>> Did she see him stole $3,000?
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> Yes, there was a
>> It was like a
>> I'm trying to find a word to translate.
Um like uh like she was tricked like
like like they were snaking about it
>> getting her money.
>> Did she see anyone take her money?
She's almost sure because he was looking
at her.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. But I'm sorry, but in United
States, just because someone looking at
you, if you see the person take, let's
say, let's say I took this pen
and the security.
>> There's no camera on the plane.
>> And if you didn't see anyone take your
money, there's nothing that we can do.
Explain that.
>> So now we passed that. Now, with your
ticket, once again, you're being
refunded. How long does it take for her
to get her money back?
>> Roughly,
>> five to seven business days.
>> Okay. You're going to take five to seven
business days to get
>> to get your refund.
>> I I live in I don't live in Bota. I have
to spend the time
5 days
>> here.
>> Yes,
>> that's fine by me.
Maybe she was so stressed her perception
got warped. Or maybe she built a story
to justify losing control. But once
officer smelled alcohol, everything
shifted. She denied it at first. Then
admitted she'd been drinking duty-free
alcohol.
>> Did you Did you have any alcohol?
>> No. If I Wait, why
>> you did you have any alcohol today?
>> No.
>> At all?
>> No.
>> So why do I smell alcohol?
>> I don't speak English. If I

airplane. I don't want to spend my more
money. I don't have money.
Okay,
Miss Vanessa is going to explain to you
the process. You're going to get a
refund. So, she going to explain to you
and then that look
what is the process. What is the
process?
>> That's it.
>> Please,
>> that's it. No.
>> Psychologically, alcohol isn't just a
trigger. It can become the brain's
permission slip to unload emotions. She
kept clinging to the I was robbed
storyline like a life raft because if
she's the victim then in her mind she
can't be wrong and the blame gets tossed
at the nearest authority figure country
like like south southern country like
>> what you told her she started back to
cry again
>> that it's not she's blaming her and I'm
like it's not her fault it's your your
behavior that got you to this point
>> I thought like what you said the other

You need to calm down. You continue
being loud. You're going to go to jail.
>> She was understand.
>> You're going to go to jail. No, me I

>> In the end, the woman was taken to jail
and faced charges tied to disorderly
conduct, yelling, escalating, causing a
scene at the airport with signs of
alcohol use. If convicted, the outcome
is often fines, a short hold, a possible
airline ban, and a record that can make
future travel a whole lot harder. From
chaos in a crowded terminal, the footage
cuts to a hospital hallway where
violence ends every last illusion of
special treatment.
On October 2nd, 20123,
police were called to a hospital after
reports of a woman causing a
disturbance, refusing medical treatment,
and allegedly assaulting staff. When
officers arrived, the situation didn't
cool off. What followed forced them to
step in more decisively.
>> Hello.
>> What?
>> Thanks. Police.
>> What?
>> Um, they're making allegations about you
uh assaulting a security officer. Do you
want to talk to me about it?
>> No.
>> No. What if I read your array or would
you talk to me about it?
>> No, we can talk about it. Let's talk
about me saying that I want to go to
proctor and them forcing me to be here.
Let's talk about um me needing to go to
the nurse's desk to ask for a question
and I'm locked back in here.
>> Um so this is regards to I believe
something that happened earlier and then
now a security officer is making
allegations. Can I talk to you about
that?
>> Unless I get what I want.
>> Okay. So, if I just read you your
rights, you want me to read you your
rights and get your statement?
>> Yes or no? Cuz I can't. If you don't
want me to, you don't have to talk to
me.
>> I'm supposed to be talking to a nurse. I
still haven't seen
>> I think they're coming.
>> So, they want to talk about their rights
and what the they got going on,
>> but I can't get what the I'm going on. I
got one. There's no phone. All my rights
are being trampled on. And y'all talking
about what the going on with some nerf?
What time is it?
>> I'm not going to answer.
>> What time is it?
>> I bet you don't want to answer it.
>> Where's my [ __ ]
here. But
>> what stood out wasn't the rude language,
it was the mindset behind it. She
refused to address the allegations, but
immediately set conditions. She would
only cooperate if the scene catered to
her needs. She cast herself as the
victim, using emotion as leverage.
How thick can it go?
>> Okay. She's not holding long enough.
>> Stand up for me.
>> I just have you walk down this way.
>> All right. Turn around from that.
All right.
You're You're considered sober. Okay.
So, go with this.
>> Because you're under arrest.
>> Why?
>> For aggravated battery. I told you we
are the seat police.
>> No, you didn't.
>> Oh, you were too busy yelling at me. You
probably weren't listening. Have a seat.
>> Oh, I was listening. You said you wanted
to talk to me about an incident that
happened and wanted my side of the
story.
>> I still like it.
>> Back up. I don't like people walking up
on me.
Do you want to talk to me now or no? I'd
like your statement because I got
diversion.
>> I don't know because now I look at you
as a liar and I'd rather have your
sergeant come down here and he can speak
to me.
>> Okay, have a seat.
Go get your stuff. Go get your paperwork
and then we'll go.
>> Okay.
>> No, you want my sergeant. We'll have a
seat and then you can come down and I'll
talk to you.
>> I don't I I'm I'm right here. I'm being
collected. I am trying to leave. I am at
the doorway of my room.
>> That's where I'm at.
>> So, while we're here, would you like to
talk to me about the incident? Cuz I
have their version and a witness's
version and I'd like yours. Yes or no?
Cuz I'm not going to I'll give you an
opportunity. I'm not going to argue with
you about it. And if you want a
sergeant, one would be sure glad to come
up with. There's no reason.
>> Being clear-headed doesn't mean being
innocent. She treated the officer's
warnings like they didn't exist. Once
arrest became likely, she shifted into
manipulation, questioning the
credibility of law enforcement. In a
procedure-driven setting, that's a
common way to claw back a sense of
control.
or anything.
>> Um, she is getting discharged, but it's
just a matter of how long that will be.
>> Okay.
>> So, it appears that this will go with
you. This is from earlier, an earlier
incident, I guess, that I wasn't aware
of. And then you have another charge as
well.
>> I don't even know anything about that.
>> Okay. This is
>> all I know is somebody asked me who I
wanted to be treated by. I said I want
to go to Proctor and I'm here.
>> Okay. Yeah, you're right. Methodist, are
you Samantha?
>> Yes.
>> All this information correct? 2512 West.
>> Thank you.
Hey, what time is it?
>> 7:30.
>> 7:30 on the dot.
>> Oh, great.
>> 7:30 in the morning.
>> Great.
>> Monday morning.
>> Right.
>> I just want to clarify that's not your
concern for the sergeant, right? What's
your concern for the sergeant? I want
him to come up here. I want to make sure
that I am being treated fair. I am being
treated correctly. That it's understood
my rights has been trampled on. I have a
right to say where I do and do not want
to be treated. YOU KNOW THAT.
>> YOU KNOW THAT AS an officer.
>> So
>> as an officer when they put you in that
EMT and they say, "Where do you want to
go?" And I say, "Proctor, why the am I
here?"
>> So do you know that has nothing to do
with my sergeant? That's what I'm trying
to say. No,
>> he's not going to be able to answer.
>> Do you know?
>> She built a story that sounded
reasonable enough to make outsiders
hesitate before judging her. When the
explanation sounds fair, shame stays
hidden. She even used time, how long
she'd been waiting, as moral proof. But
slow service is never a license for
violence.
>> The problem is, yeah, we can discharge
her as long as we can take her to jail.
>> Again, that has nothing to do with the
sergeant. everything to do with your
sergeant that your sergeant is going to
be able to have that final say so over
the [ __ ] that's going on.
>> That's the hospital. We don't work for
the hospital. You're
>> No, you don't.
>> And your concern is the hospital. It's
not with my sergeant. So, if he doesn't
need to come
>> and it's with you because I can't trust
you either.
>> Okay. So, your issue with a sergeant
coming is because you can't trust me.
>> Exactly.
>> Okay. Fair enough. I won't don't want
him to waste his time, but all your
gripes and complaints so far have
nothing to do with us. I don't want him
to waste his time.
>> They do.
>> Okay, fair enough.
>> Awesome. Cool. Thank you.
>> Okay.
Would you like to put your heels on
>> or No.
>> No. I wanted to make sure my
>> That's why I brought it here and set it
down. I didn't ask you to.
>> Well, that's what I did because they
handed me the bag. Your private should
>> that should have been handed to me. Is
it your belongings or is it mine?
>> All right. Do you want your shoes or no?
Where are my keys? The shoes.
>> Keys are in the shoes.
Put your paperwork in there. Put your
paperwork in there. And grab your other
shoe and your other stuff if you wanted
to go with them. Okay. And there's your
notice.
>> And we walk to the parking lot and we
can talk.
>> Okay.
>> Civily.
>> Oh, that's what we've been trying the
whole time. But you've been yelling at
everybody.
>> Why do you think I'm yelling at
everybody?
>> I don't really know for sure. Will you
bring your stuff so we can go?
She believed that if she just talked a
little more, she'd be understood or at
least recognized as the victim. That
belief was an illusion. Once the system
shifts into procedural mode, there's no
room left for bargaining. At that point,
[music] they weren't listening anymore,
even though she kept arguing.
>> Okay, I'll take this. Turn around. Hold
me, please.
You're under arrest.
>> Under arrest for what?
>> Hold your bag. Once again,
>> just because somebody said I did
something doesn't mean I actually did.
>> And I said, "Will we be able to go out
and have a civil talk?" You said yes.
And once again, you're showing you can't
be trusted. That's why I don't trust
you. That's why I'm asking for a
sergeant.
>> So, can you come up here?
>> And what did I say? I don't trust you.
And what did you show me? Can't be
trusted.
>> And I said, I we would have got that. I
asked him, can we sit out here and be
able to have that conversation, but you
couldn't do it? You're liars. And now
you can't be trusted. the same thing
that I said.
>> We will
>> in the first place.
>> Yes, I am. First of all, I don't like
this hospital. You don't know what I've
been through here. That's why I don't
[ __ ] like this hospital. I've been
through a lot,
please.
And when I said I don't want to go here,
I
was
>> wanted to talk to me. Let's talk. Have a
seat and we'll talk. All right.
>> I can't trust you.
>> Sit. Get all the way in.
>> I can't trust.
>> I'm going to put you in there tonight.
>> I can't trust you.
>> You can trust your ability to move your
feet around.
>> You can simply move and set.
>> Your things will be right next to you.
You can take a look at them. Here's
your stuff. Can see it.
>> In the end, the woman was taken to jail
and face charges that could include
felony assault along with disorderly
conduct and resisting. If convicted,
penalties could range from up to 90 days
in jail, fines up to $5,000, probation,
and potentially months to years of
incarceration, along with a no contact
order and mandatory anger management
classes.
On June 1st, 2023 in Joliet, Illinois,
police responded to a disturbing report.
Taylor Harmon was accused of driving
drunk and assaulting her own child,
including violently shaking the infant's
car [music] seat. When officers arrived,
the truth that unfolded shook everyone
to their core.
>> Sergeant, please.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, I don't have my
home.
>> Come on. This is more than what it is.
>> Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
>> Thank you.
>> Okay. No.
>> Yeah. No weapons on you.
>> No, sir. No, sir. No, I have a baby.
>> I I understand. I can see your baby.
>> Okay. I'm just going to tell you. Okay.
>> You know why we're stopping you today?
>> Um because I'm drinking.
>> Well, I don't drink or not. What's going
on? Someone calling really concerned
about you.
>> No, I'm pissed off.
>> Fine. Are you sorry? Your father just
broke underneath. It's been 5 years.
>> Your father?
>> Yes, sir. Um
>> I'm I was just going to go get his horse
and go home. Um
>> I Oh, no. I should ride with
>> this
is the summer now.
>> What?
>> Um
>> concerned about the baby.
>> Yeah, he's good. Um yeah, I can check
for my car. Anything guys, but I have
been drinking. I'm just trying to go.
>> Like you're really upset.
>> Yeah, your father is the baby or what?
>> It's not him. Um
>> your baby your father and child just
broke up with you too. Um yeah, like 2
weeks ago
5 years. So this is like my first night
like drinking or anything. And I know I
shouldn't have
a good first date.
>> No, sir. I know it wasn't. And I don't
want to lose my childhood. I don't want
I know it wasn't right.
>> I don't want to lose my childhood.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Maybe.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm sorry.
>> Okay. She told me neighbor
>> if you're going the opposite direction
of your house where exactly were
>> I was just trying to follow her cuz she
said you living like leaving abruptly
and
>> you were trying to
>> hang out with anyone in like 2 years. So
I was just trying to follow her and like
I don't know where she went like
>> but why if you were already at home why
were you trying to follow? Right from
the start, Taylor showed clear signs of
intoxication, slurred speech,
disoriented responses. She admitted to
drinking and voiced fear of losing
custody, possibly hoping for sympathy or
to soften the consequences. But once the
truth is out, no amount of emotion can
undo what's been done.
>> All right. So, I spoke to my father who
was over on at the scene from the the
original caller. But she did physically
witness mom throwing the baby into the
car seat at least approximately 2 to 3
ft away, slamming it to the car seat.
While he was in the car seat, she
grabbed the car seat and started shaking
it about for about 10 seconds and then
started swinging the car seat with him
in and it out for about another 10
seconds about
um given the car seats padded. He
definitely has no bruising or anything.
Um I always tell my part even his eyes
just don't bloodshot or anything in his
eyes. Eyes are very know where you're
coming from here. It's okay.
>> But his dad like would always be like,
"Oh, you're a crack." Like but like so
like the other day like I realized I
haven't ate for 3 days. Like I'm not I
haven't been on drugs in 3 years. Like
I've been sober up too. But like I
realized the other day like I haven't
even eaten in a year. like
>> why why do you think she is she's just
kind of into that stuff or why do you
think she's trying
>> I know she's into it but it's like
>> I don't even know how to sound this
without sounding like [ __ ] like
>> she she like she she's a black girl she
likes white girls and it's hard to find
a white girl that's done with a black
girl and it's like I think she took that
to advantage but like it wasn't like
that like she she's been my friend since
sophomore year in high school like it
wasn't like that like I drank a little
bit too much guys I literally
>> What else have you taken besides uh
drinking?
>> I've just been drinking. I smoked weed,
but I have my medical card. Like I can
show it to you.
>> Um since she's 3 years old.
>> Yeah, I'm 3 years somewhere cracking
coke like
>> Well, I'm just asking because it's like
70° outside and you're sweating like
>> I'm crying. I haven't done Coke in like
3 years and I sort of I started thinking
it was something else and it wasn't. So,
>> yes, sir.
>> Are you sure we didn't have a little
relapse on that?
>> Um I did. I didn't know I did until I
>> Thankfully, the baby wasn't injured. But
then Taylor made a shocking pivot,
admitting to a past involving drugs and
prostitution. It felt like a clear
distraction tactic. Meanwhile, officers
noted she was sweating profusely in just
68° weather. A possible sign that
something far worse was being concealed.
>> I don't want to miss my kids and I
didn't want to do anything wrong. Like,
I just drank. Like, I just drank. Well,
you drank and snort a coke.
>> Well, I thought I smoked weed. Like, you
can ask them like I smoked my weed.
>> What time was all this at?
>> Okay, they came to my house at like Can
I check my phone like time stamps or No.
>> Well, we don't need exact, but it's uh
it's almost 11:00 right now.
>> 6:30, 6:45. She came to my house. She
picked me up, went to someone's house.
>> Um, so here's the thing. She came with
her son. I was drinking a little bit.
Um, she came with her son. I told her I
couldn't drive, so she drove my car. my
car with my son in it. My son and her
son in it. We went to uh like Evergreen
right there. We picked up a dude with
some dreads and like I didn't know he
was the one that was drinking
>> and you were partying though.
>> No, I was just drinking. Like I wasn't
even trying to party. Like I wasn't I
was doing
>> When did you do the Coke and the weed?
>> I didn't do Coke, sir. Like she told me
it was weed. Like I literally haven't
snort whatever you snorted.
>> I didn't snort anything. That's what I'm
saying. Like I smoked weed. Like I
didn't smoke,
>> bro. I didn't do coke. I wouldn't
because I've been sober. My mom just

died from it. Like I don't want to lose
my child. Like I lost one child. Like I
don't want lose my
um so cover officers have um disclosed
me. You said you were drinking a little
bit earlier.
>> I was drinking. I believe was honest
with them like
>> how long ago were you drinking?
>> Um maybe like an hour ago. It really was
not long ago. Like I just started
drinking but I know I should have been
pregnant.
>> Okay.
>> And I know that.
>> So you think you're over the limit.
>> Um yes sir. I know I am. And I just
don't like I really don't want to [ __ ]
>> Okay. What were you drinking earlier?
>> I was drinking tequila. Like I'm going
to be 100% honest with you. No tequila.
Like I just want to take me and like I
don't want to drink with him. like I
don't want to drive with him. Like I
don't
>> Arman's story kept shifting, especially
around her use of substances. [music]
The inconsistencies were obvious.
Sensing this, police pivoted to field
sobriety tests. A smart move to gather
physical evidence about her actual
ability to drive safely.
>> Can you walk over there?
>> Police begin testing Taylor and things
don't exactly go smoothly.
>> All right, Taylor.
>> So, can you face me?
Go put your right right in front of me.
Stand right in front of me.
>> Okay.
>> Face me on that line. See that yellow
line?
>> Get on the line. Black one.
>> It's a little faded right there. That
yellow line.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> A little towards me. Towards me. A
couple steps towards me.
>> Okay.
>> There we go.
>> Okay. On the black line. This is the
black line.
>> See? See the faded yellow line?
>> Okay. The parking spot line.
>> I'm sorry.
>> Keep your head straight. Keep moving
back and forth.
>> Yeah, cuz I've been drinking. I told you
guys I was drinking. Like I told you
guys I was honest with you guys.
>> I appreciate you being honest.
>> Why are you like telling me like I'll
keep your head straight, but I told you
I've been doing you like obviously I
can't keep my head straight.
>> Like I told you, sir. Like why are you
doing this?
>> Like are you trying to make me fail?
>> Arms down your side and hold that
position.
>> Can you hold that position for me?
Taylor.
>> Taylor.
I am holding it. I'm sorry.
>> I want you to go back there.
>> I'm sorry. I was like
>> So watch what I'm doing, Taylor. All
right, I'm going to explain this to you
again. Left foot on the line,
>> right foot in front of it, heel to toe,
and stay in this position. I was doing
>> I want you to stay in the position.
>> Okay. Okay. So, that's what you need.
Stay in the position.
>> Yep. You're you keep going. I want you
to stay in the position.
>> So, when do you want me to stop? Stay
stop.
>> I don't want you to go at all.
>> Can you go back?
>> What the You just told me to go. So, I
don't want to do, sir.
>> Left foot out. Right foot.
>> That's what I did. Left foot. Right
foot. So, right. Hold my right foot.
That's what you're saying. I want you to
hold this position that I hold.
>> Okay. So, here we go. There we go. I'm
holding it. I stepped two foot like you
just did and I'm holding it, sir.
>> Officers patiently walked her through
each step, but she stumbled, lost
balance, and kept arguing. She insisted
she was following directions. Though
every movement said otherwise,
>> I did my left foot and right foot, but
like what do you guys want?
>> Like, are you guys trying to me over
telling you to stand in that position?
>> That's what I did and I did this. OKAY,
THERE YOU GO. OH, THERE YOU GO. I'M not
walking. There you go. I'm not walking.
>> Hold that left foot there.
>> There you go. I'm holding it. Nothing's
wrong, sir. Nothing's wrong. There you
go. Everything's held.
>> Police decide they've seen enough and
place Taylor under arrest.
>> Like, I don't even have my glasses on.
>> All right. Taylor, can you go turn
around for me?
>> Oh, yes, sir.
>> All right. You're going to be placed
under arrest for DUI. All right.
>> Okay.
>> Um, do you know what you have with my
child?
>> So, I'll get that information to you.
I'll go talk with the other officers
over there and they'll have more than I
do. Okay.
>> Okay. That's how they tell people to
transport you. As long as they're
closing, you're not smoking it. They say
if you have any.
>> So, you need to talk to the dispensary,
medical dispensary. But, um, so why
wouldn't want to go, please?
>> Reach through and take this off.
>> You want to hop out for us?
>> All right.
Go and walk towards that door over
there.
right over here.
>> I got people run for me.
>> Right over here, Taylor.
>> I don't want to get in [ __ ] wardrobe
formed yet. So, that doesn't fully
cover, you know, heal over until about 1
year.
>> Um, but he seems to be acting completely
normal. Um, when I first took him out,
he did cry. So,
I mean,
you know, can always take him to the
hospital and have him checked out.
There's
>> In the end, Taylor Harmon was arrested
and charged with DUI, domestic battery,
and child endangerment. She plead guilty
and was sentenced to 170 days in jail,
30 months of probation, and ordered to
pay fines and fulfill other penalties.
On September 29th, 2021,
police were called to a nursing home
after staff reported suspicious
activity. [music] A loud argument had
broken out and there were growing
concerns that someone was living there
illegally. But as officers dug deeper,
what they uncovered was far stranger
than anyone could have imagined.
>> This gentleman just went there.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So, what's going on? Um well, we we were
actually going to put a non-emergent
call in this evening anyways to talk
through some situations that have been
going on. Um it's unrelated to this
right here, but it's my understanding
that there was a bit of an altercation.
There's some yelling um out here in the
parking lot with this gentleman and one
of our residents and a young girl.
>> Okay.
>> Um so they just they just went inside
and he was leaving.
>> So he's the the resident went in. So
nobody's hurt physically? No, but we do
need to talk to you further. Um because
we were
>> So this situation though, you're happy
with it?
>> Apparently this is a friend of his and
was May I ask I mean may I ask what what
your purpose in in coming here this
evening was to figure out what's going
on cuz this is unusual activity and we
just want to protect it.
>> Right. No, I'm 199% behind.
>> Yeah. No, I appreciate it. Do you have
any questions? No. No. Okay. Thank you
so much. And anyway, I you you come up,
but
>> I do have a gun in here and I do but I
wanted to let you know that.
>> That's that's fine.
>> You know what I'm saying? But I when I
was talking to them,
>> yeah,
>> I didn't want to break the conversation,
but I wanted you to let
>> No, that's fine. No, I'm just trying to
figure out what they need from me. So,
you're good.
>> So, thank you for coming.
>> No, no big
>> basically what transpired yesterday and
chime in so we can piece this all
together for them. Um, we have a
resident here that has a woman that's
staying with him, which
>> that was the one you were just talking
about, right? Bob,
>> you know, obviously she's not supposed
to be living here, so you know, that's a
lease issue that we've got to address on
the side.
>> Um, but it was brought to our attention
by some team members um and Rachel when
she was coming in and out um last night
that um you know that he's got track
marks and there's a drug addiction. Um,
of course we, you know, we did, um,
inspect the room because we can, um, and
and did find an empty opioid, you know,
it was prescription, it was prescribed
to him, whatever. Um, so we're, we're,
my concern is obviously potential
>> drug use, even potential recreational
drug use that we didn't see. Total
speculation. Um, however, um, this young
woman that is coming in and out that we
need to address, the reason why we
wanted to bring it to your attention is
because it's we have no reason to not
believe it's not a prostitute.
>> Right.
>> At first, officers remained calm and
neutral, taking time to listen and
assess what was happening. Jennifer,
visibly anxious and confused, seemed
torn between following the rules and
handling what she saw as a deeply human
situation. Her [snorts] words reflected
an inner conflict between compassion and
compliance.
>> How do we what do we do with that?
>> Well, as far as evict her, if she's
established residency, you got to go
through the eviction process if she's
established residency. No,
>> she she's not.
>> Well, if she has an established
residency, y'all can remove her from the
property and ban her. That's up to
y'all.
>> Yeah.
>> Because he's here at your convenience,
right? I mean, is
>> he's here. I mean,
>> he has a lease or something.
>> Yes.
>> Does his lease stipulate that he can't
have guests?
>> No, it doesn't.
>> But I But again, like here we are. We're
big.
>> Well, because I know a lot of leases on
places like this, they specify that if
you going to have a guest stay with you,
you have to have approval from you guys
and it's only for a limited amount of
time. Um, but again, that's up to you
guys decide if your legal apartment will
let you do it cuz I mean, we'll gladly
go get her right now and ban her from
the apartment tell she's got to leave,
can't go back.
>> Can you do that?
>> So long as you're signing the form,
>> I would be happy to.
>> What are we banning her for?
>> I mean, she's not a resident. I mean,
you know, there she
>> allowed [snorts] guests, though. You
just said that. So, I need to know what
I'm writing on my form to ban her. Am I
banning her because of loud and
disorderly conduct? Am I banning her for
breaking community rules by not signing
in? What am I doing?
>> Well, definitely breaking rules. Um, not
signing in, not coming through the front
door. So, she's got come somewhere
access the building from
>> If you want to do that, that's not a
problem. We can do that. We can fill out
a ban form and basically we have to read
it to her and tell her, look, if you
come back on the property, you will be
arrested for criminal trespass. But then
that's up to you guys and everybody that
works here to enforce it. Okay?
>> Cuz it's just a piece of paper
>> to do that. That would be great.
>> It's just a piece of paper. What you
have to do is if she shows back up, you
have to call 911 and say, "This person
we've banned is on our property.
>> I need you to come arrest her."
>> Okay,
>> she's back. We don't have to say come
arrest her, but she's back on property
and she's been banned from our property.
>> I do think
>> now, now, keep in mind, if we arrest
someone for criminal trespass in that
event, current time, Sheriff Wilter is
not taking any what I'm writing on
there. So, we're going to allow and
disorderly conduct
>> and disobeying property rules by not
signing in or using the front entrance,
which is required of
>> and residing there overnight. Is this a
permanent ban or a one-year ban?
>> No, permanent ban.
>> Permanent ban. Okay, that's easy. We can
do that.
>> All right. What do y'all do about
prostitution? I'm just Because y'all are
kind of acting like it's just
>> Well, honestly, there's nothing I can do
about it. There's nothing he can do
about it. And the only way we And I've
worked on a couple of things where we've
gotten prostitutions, but it always has
to be a I mean, solicitation is a hard
one to get.
>> The officers didn't just respond to the
call. They stepped into the role of
educators walking everyone through the
legal process. Their main goal was to
diffuse the situation peacefully by
helping the facility file a no trespass
order against the woman involved. It was
a necessary step to protect [music] the
residents and maintain order.
>> So, the one lady Rachel did actually
sign in
>> this time.
>> Mhm. But I mean, I guess the other rule
that's being broken is that they're not
supposed to have overnight guests.
>> Okay.
>> How y'all doing?
>> Hey, Bob.
>> Hi. Hey, let's go back to your room.
>> What you looking for? Well,
>> let's go back to your room. We'll talk
about it. Well,
>> I'd like to know why you want to come to
my room.
>> I'd need to talk to Rachel who's in
there.
>> No, I'm good.
>> What's going on?
>> I'm fixing to explain it in just a
second. So, here's what's going on. The
management of the property,
>> they want you off the property.
>> Okay.
>> And they're banning you from the
property.
>> They had to call the police to kill
them.
>> Yeah. So, well, because this is a legal
process. So, here's what the legal
process is. They're banning you from the
property. So what that means is after
today, I'm going to have to do some
paperwork and you got to stay here till
I get done with it. You cannot come back
on this property ever for life. If you
do come back on the property, you'll be
arrested for criminal trespass.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Okay. So, you have all the blood.
>> Well, they don't necessarily have to
have a reason, but I'm going to go
explain to you the reason. The reason is
is the loud and disorderly conduct in
the parking lot, disturbing the peace
out there of the other residents who
were complaining. Two, you're breaking
the rules of the apartments of the
building.
>> Okay, hang on. You're you're breaking
the rules of the apartment or the
complex by spending the night here. It's
against the rules. You cannot spend the
night here.
>> Oh, so visitors.
>> That's part of your agreement. That's
part of their lease.
>> Signing in. You signed in today, but you
haven't signed in the past. You don't
always use the front door. So, you're
not following the rules community. Now,
they don't have to have a reason. They
can ban you for
>> they can ban you. I'm just letting you
know. They can ban me for being
baldheaded. So, in the state of Georgia,
any business can ban anybody for
anything. So, you're being banned from
the property and you will not be allowed
to return. It does something because I
want to see how you go around.
>> Would you like to
call records on that for me?
>> Well, we talked to what's the guy's name
that was here that dropped her off.
>> Um, and then some of the other residents
were saying that yelling, screaming was
going on.
>> All that stuff on the ground, too.
>> The police are right here.
>> Then came a crucial tactical move,
running the woman's background. What
started as a quiet incident at a nursing
home was about to lead to something far
more serious. When questioned, Rachel
seemed confused and defensive. But she
didn't resist. She cooperated.
>> Property manager.
>> The lady.
>> No. Wait.
>> Mhm.
>> Um, I get you to print your name and
sign it if you would.
>> Yeah. I'm going to walk over here with
you.
So, the reason we're hanging around 67
is she has a warrant. So, what we're
doing is we're waiting now to get
confirmation of the warrant, see if the
jail's going to take her. If it's a
felony, they'll take her. If that's the
case, we'll have to collect her and take
her to jail.
>> All right. So, she's going to get copies
of the forms.
So, she's got to run downstairs. You got
anything you need to pack up or
anything?
>> Okay. Well, you can go ahead and do that
if you want.
>> I need
>> paperwork.
Paperwork.
>> Paperwork. working. We got to walk you
out.
I have to escort you off the property.
I'm going to run downstairs just cuz I
want to grab my computer and take a
look.
>> What was that beeping sound?
>> I have no idea.
>> Yeah.
>> All right, Miss Rachel.
Rachel,
>> you just put everything down. You You
got Just set everything down. You've got
a warrant for your arrest.
So, I'm sure you already knew about it.
>> Yeah.
>> Just set everything down.
>> It's going to get squared away. Okay.
>> So, we called and confirmed and that
jail does want you. So,
>> go put your hands behind your back and
face away from officer.
>> Can I put some shoes on?
>> Sure.
>> Where they at? I'll run for you.
>> Throughout it all, officers remained
professional yet compassionate. They
reassured Rachel that her belongings
would be safely delivered to her friend.
It was a moment that showed law
enforcement can still carry out their
duty with a sense of humanity.
>> Here, we'll get it later. Come on.
>> Come on. We're working.
>> I was just I was We'll get it later.
Okay.
>> Put I'll put on the top. Go grab it. You
want this in there?
>> Oh, that's
one behind your back.
>> It needs to be with you because you said
that
>> you want this to go with you. You want
this this to go with
>> this and this. Okay.
>> Both of these go to Mark.
>> Yeah. And there.
There she is. Hey, Mezer.
>> Hey, what's going on?
>> 67.
>> Okay.
>> Will you go to transport for us?
>> Um, yeah, that's fine.
>> Yeah.
>> Supposed to have gotten off an hour ago.
>> Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So, see this
second vehicle right here? We're going
to walk right over there. Okay.
>> All right, Mark.
She wants me to give you this stuff.
>> She said the key to the storage unit's
in her purse.
>> Okay.
>> So, she's got a warrant for her arrest.
Well, I mean, you know, let me let me
let me say this, M.
>> Appreciate you.
>> Oh, appreciate it. I mean, we we went up
there just to bann her cuz they wanted
her off the property.
>> Yeah.
>> But whenever we checked her name, it
comes out she's got a warrant and the
jail wants her. So,
>> what's the charge? Original charge for
>> a DUI.
>> A felony cuz it was something without a
flu or a rasipam, whatever that is.
>> Okay.
>> Not an original container. They found a
Xanax.
his own horizon.
>> He'll get you in. Then tomorrow he'll go
to court about it probably and then from
there they have a bond set and Bob
already said he'd bail you out.
>> What you worried about?
>> They're not going to give you because
it's superior war.
>> Did y'all get my phone?
>> Yep.
>> Yeah, I got
>> Okay, go ahead and have a seat. Okay,
just watch your head.
They said phone numbers when I get
there.
>> Yep. [snorts]
Yeah, they're usually pretty good.
>> Oh my god, it's hot as hell. I can't sit
on the other side where the air is
coming out of. Okay, so it's plenty cool
in here, especially compared to the
temperature outside.
>> Yeah, my out here is crazy. Okay,
>> in the end, Rachel wasn't arrested for
trespassing. She was taken into custody
because of an active warrant for
contempt of court stemming from a DUI
case. Depending on the court's decision,
she could face a fine or even jail time.
