Well, there's a blue >> [laughter] >> There's going to be a blue team for me for first day for lady. >> He is in the same position how he was a long time when he was trying to enter a bright way in my mom's room. This is the way how he was a year ago. I am uncomfortable to have him in here with me. That is the reason why I threw him out. >> And this is where he lives? >> Yes, and I know he if I go to the courthouse, it will be for me to evict him. I am uncomfortable to have him inside. I have to work in the next few hours. >> And then do you know what I noticed is that your mom is in apartment 20 right now? >> Yes, she's in apartment 20. >> Does she have like a restriction restriction or >> She does and he keeps on walking up and down up and down. And that is why I called you guys because he was outside screaming. He's making practically everybody uncomfortable as well. Even me. That's why I threw him outside he was a danger towards me. Okay, he's already thrown me down before already. He's already gotten violent towards me. >> Did he go violent with you today? >> At any point? >> He was like just completely out of it. He was just banging in the room. Causing a distraction. I was already trying to rest. I couldn't because I felt uncomfortable to have him in here. >> Okay. >> That is why I threw him out. I did the right thing for myself. I can't have him here. You know, I'm trying to do as much as I can for him but he's not doing anything for me to be in progress, you know? >> Just don't I get his DOB. >> What is his date of birth? >> It's um I'm going to ask you for your mom's social security number and contact her. >> And you know that your mom is up there, right? On apartment 20? >> Yes. I just want him >> [clears throat] >> but I know he's being a to everybody else cuz I can feel the vibe. You know, I'm over it. He's been like this for the past few days, you know? And it's like I'm like my sister's trying to talk to me, I'm trying to talk to her, but she's not letting me speak. Cuz she just keep on going off and going off and it's irritating. >> Is Is he under any medical treatment or medical >> He doesn't want to help himself. >> Okay. >> He don't want to help himself, period. But yeah, he wants to go inside and do whatever he wants and start burning again. >> Okay. >> I'm sick of it. >> All right. >> I've done everything, I've done my part as a mother. >> That's what we're going to want to. I mean, think panel two still 10-3, but that's for running. Ma'am, I know we were here last yesterday. I was here with you. Um As you heard officer explained, I I know you you kicked him out cuz right now I I understand I understand you. >> This is due to because of him because I had him locked out because I didn't want him to do with him because he kept on coming in and out in and out in and out of my apartment. And I >> I understand that, ma'am. Um go again, you're still going to have to go with the courts. We're doing We're conducting another investigation, okay? That's not related to this. But I'm just addressing it with you right now, okay? We already >> Well, look at how he is right now. He's screaming and >> And I know I know he's like this, but notify that. There's times where judges grant a 3-day eviction notice. That's 3 days, which allows him to pick up his stuff and there's an officer, a deputy sheriff that's in a standby as he collects his stuff. Once he collects his stuff and he's formally evicted, at that point you keep the paperwork and if he comes again, we'll be able to take lawful action, okay? But I need you to help us out. I I understand that it's been like this for how long has it been like this? >> He's been like this already for a couple of days. >> Days, okay. But prior to that, how long has he been been this behavior where you don't feel comfortable. >> Um >> Kind of like he said yesterday, you know, but >> Time frame, month, 2 months, 3 months? Years, okay. You see where this is a little bit concerning? It's been happening for years. >> Cuz he won't get off the toilet. >> Okay, okay, but look, it's been happening for years. If you would have already had this eviction notice >> Help me help myself and get out. I want to help myself. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Listen, just I I understand this, ma'am, but you're going to have to help cuz I like this, okay? Right now we have enough for the violation of the restraining order, but in reference to you kicking him out, you can't be doing that, okay? You can get in trouble. I don't want you to get in trouble cuz I I I'm seeing how he's behaving, but you need to help us out, okay? Go tomorrow, as soon as they open up, and file for that eviction notice. Let them know why it's important. Not only that, take her and let her know like we live in the same vicinity. If he comes over here, he goes and he's going to be bothering her, and again, there's a protection order. That should give them the judge a reason to speed the process up, okay? But I need you to help me out. Okay? >> We're going to go in the morning. >> Okay. You need to go, okay? Well, how was your first quarantine? That wasn't cooperative. >> Very scary. It was horrible. >> The thing is that he needs to go to treatment. If you can drop him off at the Valley Hospital, they're equipped to treat him. He needs help. With that, can you drop him off at the Valley Hospital? Kicking in cuz he needs help with that. And that's the help he needs. That's the That's the help he needs, the emergency help he needs. Can you drop him in? >> Yeah. Uh Marie Lopez? Yeah, he has it. >> Yeah, I'm his aunt. >> And then who are you? >> I'm his aunt. >> Okay. >> Uh-huh, excuse me. And um I just like to know if you can just take him take him to to go to treatment. To leave him there until he gets help. And leave there for a long time until he gets help. >> Well, unfortunately right now that's >> That's it. Do you have to make the decision for him? >> We can't do that. Unfortunately, again, it being having mental health issues is not a crime. Uh and if he doesn't want to get the help, we can't force somebody to get the help unless he's a danger to himself and you guys. At this point, what we're taking action on is on this restraining order, okay? This is being handled. It's unfortunate, but we can't force him physically violate somebody's rights and take him. What you can do is go to a judge and get an order for a mental health evaluation. And it's signed by the judge. You guys express your griefs to the judge and he'll give you an order. >> Cuz his mom You want to talk to his mom? >> I already talked to her. We already talked to her. >> did she say? >> We already explained that everything to her, okay? So, what do we need to do with him? >> Um do you want >> Just have him in there? >> Mhm. >> And then I think 902 is on one, so give him the 49. >> Go to third? >> Mhm. >> No, but we We are We are dying here. >> It I know it's very a stressful situation, but as I was explaining to uh his mom, it it's tough and I know, but she says he's been living there for quite a while. If she would have had this eviction notice, long before we wouldn't be in this situation. He wouldn't even be here in this property. He's here immediately available because he lives here. He lives right down across the road. If she goes and files for that eviction notice years ago, he would have already been evicted and he wouldn't even be here in this property. We've already addressed it with her. We've told her multiple times. I was here yesterday telling her the same thing. Cuz he lives there, he we can't just remove him just because he has he's established that residency. Exactly. And that's why I told her we can't help you guys if you guys don't help us out. She needs to go Monday, tomorrow, get that eviction notice. Hopefully it gets expedited and you guys won't have that issue anymore. He won't be here. Cuz there's different times of eviction notice. There's 3 days, 10 days, some can take up to 30 days. Expedited meaning that hey, look, my go I would recommend for you to go be like, hey, like I have a restraining order and we live legit right across each other. I'm being placed in danger. Hopefully that gives the judge an exigency like, oh my gosh, we're putting her in danger. We should probably make this eviction a fast process. That's what I'm telling you guys. You guys need to go to the judge and ask for that mental health evaluation. If it's signed if we have an order, if we have an order signed by the judge, then we can physically remove him. I can't take him right now. You can call the light unit, but again, your best option if his behavior's like this, get a health get an order signed by the judge to get a mental health evaluation. You guys need to go I can't really tell you the time frame, but you guys need to go get that done. Again, we can't help you. We can't just can't violate somebody's rights and restrain them and keep them from moving, Okay? With that evaluation that's signed by the judge, if it's signed by the judge kind of like this, we see the paper, it's signed by the judge, and we can affect action in reference. We can basically make an arrest because of this. He violated this, and this is what we're taking action. That's why he's being taken today. >> Okay. >> If you get an order like that, but for him to get evaluated, that's what basically we'll do. We'll come, we'll basically put him in cuffs. He's not going to go to jail. He's going to go to a facility to get mentally evaluated. >> Right. >> You guys need to do that. >> Mhm. >> Okay? Give me a minute to stop. >> So, you guys are going to take him in today? >> He's going to be taken to jail. >> Okay. And then I got out of the apartment for you so that this is the address for you, right? >> Yeah, this is >> All right. So, what time did he was like out here in the area? What time did everything started? >> 1:00 p.m. Well, actually he's sleeping now. You know, he was fine and everything. You know, >> He was out in the area? >> He was going to call the police department. He was She was doing fine and he was going to call the police. >> Okay, sorry. What's the matter? >> Look, please he in She was doing fine. Then he called his dad for money. >> His dad sent him money, $100. >> Yeah, I just called him so you can talk to him. >> And and then um he uh he bought something to eat that day. >> What did he eat in school? >> I don't know what he ate. He was off to school every morning with my daughter and they would go to buy something and everything. He used to be very good. He didn't pass, you know, like the math and the science test. Too hot. Too hot. Doing the math, she goes there. And he's not doing really good. >> How long? >> he his dad sent him money. Um he he lent some money to his friends. >> But you need You need to give me the address. >> You need to give me his name and state. >> How long? >> And he lent money to the park. And he put it into his bank. >> You need to put it in the bank. >> He asked what number. >> You need to put your card in the 7:15 book. >> In here? >> But like what time he was like a one time he did something that he violated the restraining order, like this morning, like at what time? >> Um Uh, maybe like an hour? >> An hour ago? >> But he was knocking them out. >> Okay. >> Like >> All right. >> He still like around 8:30. >> Around then? >> Yeah. >> Um, cuz I went to pick up my daughter and that's from work. He was here. He was here doing okay, but then he was like talking to himself and >> Okay. >> It It scares me. >> Of course it does. All right. >> And um, he used to live with me and you know, we were doing okay, but then he started doing that doing that and I had to call the police and everything. And then after a while uh, he went to go live with my >> Oh, like his mom? >> And then uh, he was with uh, his mom for a year. >> For a year? >> And he went to Washington to work with his dad and he was doing pretty good. He wanted to drive again with her. And he got sick he was on the plane He was He was doing good for a while. Then he wanted to work and stuff like that. And you know, he he tried and he tried and he tried. But you know, um he um He was working at this landscape place.

And uh And he came and like work on play stuff, you know, cuz I don't know. I don't know if he's working and stuff like that. Cuz he was already getting bored and stuff, you know, and and he's not thinking, you know, he when he gets money, you know, he gets money >> He needs a lot of help. >> Okay. And we get that. Okay, so we need to handle this this we're going to need to go do some paperwork and stuff get him medically checked out. Okay? Okay? If you have any other questions or she has any questions she'll give you guys a call. Okay? >> Can you write Can you give us your names? >> Absolutely. >> Yeah, and he was doing wonderful with my daughter and everything. Every morning he would take her to the park. >> The bus station. >> Yeah, he was doing wonderful. He was going to the bus station every day. He needs he needs help. He needs medical help. He needs medical and mental help. A lot of help. >> And his mom he wants to get get rid of her. And we didn't try to take her with her friends to drink and >> There's a lot of stuff going on there with him possibly too. Again, he's it it's hard. >> She would take out and drink and leave it behind and she would take out he gives him the cool hair friends and Um She let someone left him behind just in the outside for She would take out with men and she would have to leave the children with the man and >> No, we need to go.
