Officers arrived to a loud, fast-moving scene with an 18-year-old daughter, her mother, grandmother, and brother all talking at once and giving clashing stories.

Can you just walk into your 18-year-old in your house and grab her? She's not She's not If I was under the impression she was under 18. >> No. No. >> So y'all's not supposed to be grabbing on anybody. >> No. like the things she just told me. So it's still the mentality of the parentage. >> It doesn't matter like legally. >> What's your name again? >> But it was so that's why it's literally like but it was more of a >> I threw the food down and was you need to go clean that up. >> But can I do that? Can I do that to you if you're my 18-year-old daughter? And it's an unwanted touch, but it's not it's honestly not the intention of causing >> I'm going just turn this side >> physical harm because >> I can't. The way I see it is I thought she was 17 the whole time. >> So this and everything's okay, >> but when you're telling me I know it was just 9 days ago or 8 days ago or whatever. >> Yeah. >> In the eyes of the law, >> if you have my 18-year-old daughter and I walk upon you and grab you, what's the state going to say about that?

I mean, that's >> go and violate her for >> Yeah. >> And to be honest with you, the more I hear about this story, the more I'm starting to believe that everybody kind of egged into it. >> Yeah. >> I'm I'm not buying the I just moved her hand out my face. >> It's a bunch of high emotions everywhere. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm believing that you were mad cuz she got home late and that fed into her asking for food and then that fit into you don't get no food and then that's how this all erupted. Let me go search. >> Okay. Are you going to fill out the statement? It's up to you. I just rather talk. >> You You can just write if you want, you can just write refused on the back and sign for me and I just have it that way if that's what you prefer. I >> I don't want to refuse. I don't I just I don't know. I can't I can't Okay. >> I don't know what to say. I I rather talk like I learn to speak. >> I know. I when we talk it's just to have it in words to show like from your own your own words. That's all. I only left the house because I've been so depressed. I've been going through a breakup and and I'm not happy. I don't want to be home all the time. >> So, it makes you more uncomfortable to be here. >> Yes. And in my I mean my head at night. I don't sleep. I don't I don't sleep. I don't eat. Like it's just Bro, I don't I wouldn't do anything. Have you started any counseling or anything for it? >> Yes, they >> Well, they they signed me up for therapy and stuff. >> Okay. >> But I don't feel comfortable I don't feel comfortable doing that stuff. >> Why? >> I don't know. I just don't like speaking. >> You just don't like it? >> I don't like speaking to people, >> okay, >> about it. I get embarrassed. Like I feel I feel disgusting in myself and I don't want to talk about it. >> But you you know what? But here's the thing is you can't get embarrassed by it. And those people that when you're going to like counseling that's that's somebody that is there to understand what's taking place, >> bro. They know what I'm going through and they all don't care. They all don't care. >> Well, I'm sure it's not that they don't care, but it's a matter of a lot of things have to do with approach with each other. And you guys are family. So, usually in family, we push their buttons the most. That's who we get. We know how to get under each other's skin the most when it comes to family. And it's we're hardest on those that we love and they >> I've arrived at a decision on this uh 22 priority I'm on and I kind of just want to run this by my sergeant and see what you think. So my issue is I was going to 10:15 desire for the battery, right? But I just I'm under the impression she's 17. She turned 18 8 days ago. So in my mind, yes, you're under the thought process that she's still a little girl, but you can't grab your 18-year-old daughter. Like yes, she's your kid. But just because she is be in my mind, the initiator would be the story I'm being given. The intent to cause harm came when Desire was grabbed under the arm for throwing the food and she allegedly started throwing closed fist punches at mom. Okay, so yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, thanks. And I tal I talked to my PO and I told her I asked her if it was okay if I can fly out >> because my my cousin she bought me a ticket so I could fly out because she's the only one. She's the only one that understands me and I just wanted to go just get away for a little bit. I asked her if it was okay. She's I She asked me for my name yesterday. >> She asked me for my name yesterday. So I'm hoping like maybe she's okay with it. Right. >> I don't know. I don't know. I just I just want to get away from a few. I just I don't know. Little rat. I would never I would never do anything to my family on purpose. Like I don't understand why they ganging up on me. And my brother, this is not the first time he put his hands on a female. He put his hands on my my best friend. And we didn't tell on him. >> Mhm. >> There was a situation at the park. We didn't tell on him or nothing because like I didn't want [ __ ] to go on cuz I just I just had got like with the cops and stuff. I just had got off probation. So I I said please don't say nothing like please don't say nothing. But he put he punched my best friend in the face. He told me he like I don't know. He be putting his hands on people all the time. Um he got locked up one time. I don't know what's wrong with him. He's sick, bro. And then he's on the phone with his girlfriend trying to tell her to come and fight me, too. And I don't got no problem with nobody. I don't got no problems with nobody. So, and now I don't know why she on the phone. >> So, when are you supposed to leave with your cousin? >> The 12th? She bought me a ticket the 12th and the 19th. I made sure I've been doing everything I'm supposed to do. Like, um I went I went to school and I talked to my teacher, too. I only need three more credits left just to graduate. >> What school are you at? >> I go to Alma. >> Okay. >> I talked to my teacher. Uh, I texted my PO yesterday and I made sure I told her I used to live in Connecticut. So, I can do I can um I can do community service out there better than I can out here. I can do I I'm going to be on time with my curfew cuz my aunt lives over there and I'm not um I haven't told my aunt cuz I want to surprise her cuz my aunt's going through [ __ ] too and can't let it. And I just wanted to pop out and show her that I'm there, that she got someone who actually cares for her. But now I don't know if she's going to want me to go because my my grandma my grandma, she's going to she's she calls her all the time. I know she's going to attack her stuff. Now I'm probably not going to be here to go see her. So, >> right. I was just stay with my cousin and my friend. I just want to get away, bro. >> All right, Zach. Can you go ahead stand up for me? Why don't you face Stephanie Costco? >> Right now, I'm being placed you under arrest for domestic violence battery. Okay. >> Why me? >> Cuz you weren't supposed to start swinging my mom. >> I didn't hit none of them first. I swear, bro. That's weird. Bro, >> do you want to have a serious conversation about this at the car or are you going to be upset at me about that? >> Wait, bro. What's going on? >> I'm going to get you some shoes. Okay. >> Are you serious? I swear to God. >> Wait, why? I didn't hit them. They hit me. >> We'll talk about it. I'm going to take you down to the car. >> Okay. Can I see my dogs, please?

Bro, I would never put my hands on my mom for no reason. Like, bro, >> that's just where we're at now. It's going to go before the state.

It's typically usually it runs around $500. So half of that will be like >> it's it's usually what is it 10% but they do a minimum of $100. Most bondsmen most bonds men I don't you know you have to talk to >> but most of them do a minimum of $100. >> Jo the problem is is that I have people telling me that the reason he touched you to begin with was to pull you away from the fight. When I go, listen, when I go before the state attorney and I tell them, yeah, the only reason he touched Desire is to get her away from the fight, they're going to say, "Well, he wasn't trying to harm her. He wasn't trying to hurt her." >> He told me he >> listen, that might be your perspective, but when I have a job to do, and I got people telling me one thing, and I can't just take your word for it. >> Why would y'all do me like this? >> Can you grab a picture of grandma's face, please? >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> What do you say the injuries occur, man?

Yeah, that's where she's in. >> All I did was ask you for some fries. >> It's just >> and then the judge will uh set the bond to see what it is that you want. Like cuz some people want >> press charges or you know press charges or some people want ankle monitor. Some people want no contact. Some people just want no violent contact. Like you could have contact with each other just not violent. >> Okay. >> So they'll talk to you about it and kind of see where you stand and what it is that you want.
