On May 9th, 2026, officers responded to Wawa in reference to a battery. >> Hi. Hello. >> I forgot my dog's leash, so I backed up and looked at my car. >> Oh, this is your car? >> Yeah. Because I blocked her in. My face is burning from this boiling hot tomato soup she just threw in my face. >> Wait, how did you I saw your car parked here earlier. How did you block her in? >> No, because I was never going to leave. She was the one that did it in the black dress. >> Wait, you need to go back. What exactly happened? >> and I was at the counter and um I walked up to get my sales so I thought she called my number but it wasn't so I backed up and I backed up to the ship back. And then as I backed up, this girl with the green hair starts yelling at me inside. Here's your stupid bowls, by the way. That's how much was in there. She goes, "Jesus Christ." She almost backed into her. I said, "You didn't back into anybody. I just backed up." >> Who said that? >> The girl with the green hair. >> hair, okay. >> I she bumped into my girlfriend and the the it really wasn't that big of a deal. She bumped into my girlfriend and said, "I'm Jesus Christ." cuz she bumped into you know. Jesus Christ and my heart is coming out of my whatever. So, I'm already upset. I'm you know, I'm trying to defend my new person and like I'm just I'm overreacting and completely, you know. Um I walked out here and we have the baby and she comes out and cussing and everything like yelling at his her dad and yelling at us and everything. And she like went to go pull out and kept talking and kept talking and everybody tried to pull me back in the car. I knew what I was doing was wrong. I know right now what I did was wrong and I feel so bad but I just swung whatever was in my hand at the car. I did not intend to throw that at her. I didn't intend really to throw anything. It's just kind of releasing anger from my hands. I already know what I did was wrong. >> All right. >> sorry for doing that. >> Well, you know what? Being honest is is is a is a bonus, okay? >> Yes, sir. I'm a professional. I don't overreact like this. >> Okay. Do you have Do you have your ID? >> Yes, sir. >> And what are you? >> I'm only 20. I just turned 20, actually. >> Okay. >> I'm just afraid I just ruined my life. >> No, you didn't ruin your life. >> Um I'm really >> Although Although what you did was wrong, it's not going to ruin your life, okay? >> really scared right now. I tried to I just got a professional business card >> Listen, uh the the the minimum of what you said you have done so far is what would be considered a battery. It's a misdemeanor. It's the same thing as if I pushed you. You pushed me. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay? So, at the very minimum, that's what has happened. Um have you ever been arrested before? >> Yes, sir. >> Do you live here in >> Yes, sir. I live in Atlanta. >> Okay. So, let me finish talking to the other officer over there and we can figure what's going on. At worst-case scenario, we can issue you a what's called an NTA. It's called a notice to appear. >> Yes, sir. >> It means that you don't have to go to jail tonight. Techni- Technically, you would still be arrested for battery because what you admitted to do is a battery. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay, but you just have to show up in court at a later date and then we'll go from there. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay? Does that sound fair? Okay. Okay. Well, you know what? Just like I said before, you know, you're honest about it. You know, obviously, you realize you did something that was wrong. And we're going to >> I mean, it was an absolute overreaction. She was got to my last nerve, pretty much. I'm so sorry. >> I understand and >> This is an absolute overreaction. >> It happens. So, um regardless of I mean, I know everyone's probably She was probably yelling, probably screaming, and that type of stuff. >> feel justified in what I did. What I did was wrong. I should Saying you and then going after >> what she What she What was she saying? Was that Was she just yelling at you? >> She said like a lot of the stuff that comes to me and my girlfriend feels very directed for a reason, sometimes. And like it just seemed like this time I said, you know, Jesus Christ and she was like, "You're saying Jesus Christ." And it just like frustrated me really badly and then she said something about how she was driving a shitty car. My girlfriend got into an accident that wasn't even her fault. Like, you know, I just kind of going at it and it I don't even think anything excessive than that, but Like I said, I know >> over there? >> That's her brother. >> Her brother? >> Yeah, so my brother-in-law kind of. >> Okay. How about how about you do me this favor, okay? I know everybody's upset and everything. >> That's fine. >> Um I see him yapping and running. It'd make our job much easier if he doesn't if he doesn't yell at her. I understand he's upset, but our job is harder when people start yapping back and forth and causing causing issues, okay? >> I I I completely agree. >> Okay. All right, if you just want to wait over there for a few minutes and then um we get I'll talk to them and we can figure this out. We'll go from there, okay? >> Okay. >> All right. Tough [ __ ] Not in the one thing. >> And then I said, "Didn't I didn't back up into anybody. Backed up into the chip rack."

I was getting in my getting ready to get in my car and I said, "They're just getting in a piece of [ __ ] car, Mom. It's not a big deal." And um I went to get in the car and my window was down about that much cuz my dog was in the car. Look at this stuff in my car. >> Mhm. >> I mean it's everywhere. It's all in the back. Look at the back. >> So so before any of that, I'm trying to get to the bottom of the story. >> I didn't do anything to them. I didn't physically assault them. >> to get you're trying to get into the car, and then how did this happen? >> How did I The black girl The The girl in the black just decides that she's going to throw the soup in my face as I'm in the car backing out. >> Why? >> Because of what happened inside. >> So, because of a verbal altercation that happened minutes ago inside, she decided to throw a soup at you. >> Yeah. >> Okay.

I'm going to be right back. >> ahead. >> I'm going to give this back to you right now. >> Mhm. >> All right. Just because you spoke to my sergeant and you already gave your side of the story, but I want to hear it out of your mouth myself. This is not me going to jail. It's just This is me reading your rights. Usually, everybody assumes today they're going to jail automatically when I read the rights, okay? Yeah, usually, I would like to move people away, and it would just be somewhere where not everybody sees it. However, there's a lot of people here. >> My hair. >> So, again, this is not me going to jail. Just I got to re-ask the same questions. I got to read you your rights. Okay? So, this is your Miranda >> that I am like I am like taken into custody tonight? >> No, so far everything the stars are aligning where I can give you a court date. It's considered an arrest, but not a physical arrest. >> Yes, sir, cuz I will show up to literally anything. Like, I don't care if it's tomorrow morning. >> No, that's fine. I We're going to get to that step. I'll conclude it with I'll give you all the information you need. Again, you would be in handcuffs already and I'll be doing this stuff in the back of my car if we're at that point. >> Does that make sense? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Those type of licenses that have nothing to do with that. >> I'm so sorry. >> No. No. No. You don't have to be sorry with us, but again, it happened. So in the end of the day, we were all discussing like can we still do that paperwork for them which counts as an arrest, but you don't physically go to the jail. However, we have two supervisors that looked into it when when the lieutenant was here and they were like This We have to treat it as as that level. You don't have to be sorry with me.

Be an adult, and you got to own up to it. >> I know. >> Okay? >> I know. >> Most of the time these type of cases, especially if you haven't been arrested before, you have a clean record with these type of cases with the state attorney's office. The fact that you were honest and you were cooperative, they will take that into account. Most of the time they want to get rid of these cases as quickly as possible. >> Oh my god, Debbie.
