GO [ __ ] YOURSELF. GO! >> [screaming] >> GO [ __ ] YOURSELF. >> ON AUGUST 2ND, 2025, Key West police respond to a head-on crash on Margaret Street caused by a wrong-way driver. What seems like a routine DUI investigation is set in motion, but it doesn't stay that way, because when the officers arrive and meet the man whose car was hit, it quickly becomes clear this is more than just a simple crash. >> This one, that's his. And this is hers. >> That's where she That's where she crashed at. >> This is her vehicle. >> Yes. And then she moved back to under the FCAT, and then she just come in She supposed to go that way, and then she coming that way by 2.5 when the I forgot what the >> Where were Where were you? >> I'm me I'm coming I'm going like from going Front Street, try to make a left turn in the I think Ann Street or something like that. >> Ann >> And like she coming the wrong way.

And then I tried to wave her. I say, "You You don't even stop. You scratched me." And then she keep going. >> All right, let me get your ID and car and registration. >> After a quick rundown is given by the victim, the officers move in on the driver without delay. But, the way she begins to act isn't something anyone there is prepared for. >> I'm here 100%. Look at my car. >> So, you're the driver of the black Explorer. You got your license and registration? >> Yes. >> License, registration, and insurance, please. You mind getting out for >> 100%. >> Okay, calm down with the attitude, okay?

We don't need anybody else here. >> I am a grown woman. Three generations here. >> So, that's your uh registration and insurance? >> He yelled at me like crazy. >> No, they're like, "Hi, baby." Everybody in this neighborhood knows me. >> I have your information, please? >> Yes, I'm working on it. I already gave him my license. Everybody in this neighborhood knows me. >> Her arrogance and entitlement are evident the moment officers begin speaking with her. And as the interaction continues, it becomes that the situation is going to slip further, with her behavior becoming more unrestrained. >> He literally is a Haitian-looking frog officer. >> What does that mean? That has nothing to do with anything. So, if you're going to come out with your racist remarks, I'm not going to have it, okay? >> You know what? I got nine black kids. Don't >> You're not. >> So. >> No, you're kidding yourself, okay? So, don't come talking like that in front of me cuz I'm not going to take it. >> not a racist. >> Okay?

This was an e-bike that hit my car. >> We're not looking at that. We're not looking at that.

I'm telling you these try to take your [ __ ] every day. >> What are you What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're talking about. >> do anything wrong. >> What do you mean these What? What does that mean? >> 60% Asian and HIV. I teach them. >> Oh, so we're So we're making this a racist >> No, I'm not. I got nine black kids. I just told that guy. >> Her prejudice and racism are no longer being held back. It's coming through in what she's saying and how she's saying it. Even then, officers try to maintain composure, but her sense of superiority only keeps pushing this situation further in the wrong direction. >> All right, you got into a vehicle accident. You can't leave the scene of the >> deny. I did not. >> It's a crime to leave an accident. Transfer of paint. >> I did that. I want to prove it. I work >> It's a crime to leave the scene of an accident. >> I can't wait to I did not leave that crime of accident. I work homicide.

I can't wait to get my lawyer on this because I didn't do anything. He stalked me down. I was so scared >> Okay, don't put your Don't put your Don't put your finger in my face, okay? >> I pulled over because I was so scared of that car. I'm going right down to my boat. My dad lives on Windsor. My kid Here's my kid. My kids live in Perry Court and I have three boats right there. Right there on the bike. And I want to go home. >> When her Karen-like behavior fails to get a reaction from the officers, she shifts tactics and suddenly starts calling her family connections in the area, but it quickly becomes clear none of it is landing. And the way it's being delivered only makes it less likely that any of it is going to work. >> Honey, baby. Uh it's not a good situation. You're at the dock. I need you to come here. I'm here. I'm right past uh Harpoon Harry's and I'm Apparently, this dude Asian is telling me I hit him and I did not. And I can't wait for a video recording. I will Uh whatever. We'll get the lawyer on it.

I'm like >> If they come within 25 ft of us, I'm going to give them one warning. >> You sound like that stuff. >> And then And then if he doesn't heed my warning, >> I almost got him. >> She doesn't stop there and starts pulling every trick she has, one after another. By now, officers are on their last straw, but they are trying not to let frustration get to them. >> Dog. I need them to at least come get my dog. >> I'll let them come get the dog. >> I've also volunteered at the SPCA. >> Okay. >> I work there. I train dogs. You're not The other girl let my dog loose on the ball street. We already have a problem with officer [ __ ] [ __ ] So, you are not leaving my dog. >> I just told you that I'd be more than happy to let him pick up the dog. >> I actually have ALS and you are not going to leave my dog loose on the street like he did. >> I just told you twice. >> Go yourself.

I work with all the abused kids. >> Good. >> bulls. But I'm You can You can arrest my husband and my kid when they show up here, but you're not going to take me away. Can I park my car legally? >> you cannot. >> Well, that's a little bit off the record cuz that er was chasing me down. You're really great. You're really great, Emma. >> After calling her kid, her husband, and even dragging the dog into it, she keeps dialing more people hoping someone will step in and pull her out of this. And yet, instead of reacting, the officers hold back, almost watching it play out as the situation starts speaking for itself. >> Uh oh, I am I asked my husband, he was going to get pizza. Not a good story. I'm going to call my dad. Before you all take my mentally and everything else, you guys are I literally have foster night get I'm like the nicest human in the >> Oh, yeah.

Past Harpin Aries. >> Ma'am, what's going on? Can I help you? >> I need you to come here. And I need you to I am uh right past Harpin Aries. I need you to come here. >> They're going to Nobody's coming here. I'll be except for your son to get the dog. >> By this point, her son reaches the scene. And instead of settling things down, her outbursts only grow louder, more theatrical, as if an audience has just arrived. >> Go yourself. >> Okay. >> This is my son. Go is that I can't talk to my son? >> No, he cannot come within 25 ft of us. I already told you that. >> Can he GIVE ME A CIGARETTE? >> NO. >> Can he give me a cigarette? Daddy's coming. >> Do you want him to take your dog? >> No. He's got a cat and he can go home to his >> Okay, so you So your dad is going to take the dog? >> No, my dad will take my >> Okay. >> He's got like a eight by my head. >> Okay.

I work at a massage my whole life and you guys are I want My kid is coming, my dad is coming. We're three generations there. I can't wait. >> This drunk woman can sense this isn't helping her and every word is only pulling her deeper into trouble. Even then, she stays in denial as if saying it enough times might somehow change what's already been set in motion. >> Can you please show me where I crossed? >> Why don't you show her the >> I really want to see that. Cuz my dad and my kid is here. And my husband's on the way. Yeah, that happened during the guy crossing to me. Look what happened. The other side is where the e-bike can hit me where I was parked. >> this, too? So, ALL THAT >> THAT WAS FROM I ALREADY claimed that.

I'm just going to walk in front of in front of that car over there. >> He's full of >> Even as she spirals further, the officers try to speak with her calmly, but she isn't meeting them there, not even close. >> Okay, listen. >> No. >> All right, this is what's going to happen. >> My dad is coming. >> Ma'am. >> Right now. >> Listen to me. Stop talking. >> No. No. >> Okay, listen. Obviously, you have been drinking. Okay? >> I had two drinks. >> alcohol and based on what you're saying right now >> Hey, officer >> Are you done with your crash investigation? >> They already know I have a brain >> is done with his crash investigation. >> I had two drinks. I shouldn't have two drinks.

He is my actual >> Let go or you're going to cuffs. >> No, I don't care. >> When a normal conversation gets them nowhere, the officers step in and move to cuff her. And even then, it doesn't slow her down. If anything, her behavior only escalates further. >> You cannot take my dog. And you already wrecked my elbow. >> Okay. >> Take my dog. >> That is my actual service dog, you crazies. That is my dog. Take my dog. Wait a minute, guys. >> Stop. >> In the middle of that struggle, her father arrives at the scene. And for a moment, it almost seems like she thinks this might turn things around. Her sense of privilege kicks up another notch, and the way she acts only intensifies from there. >> This is MY DAD. BAD ASSES. YEAH, this is you. I need you to Get this dog. THESE GUYS ARE OUT OF CONTROL. WAIT, PUT IN MY PURSE. DAD, THIS IS MY DAD. Go do yourself. Don't let them take MY DOG. DON'T LET THEM take my dog. Don't let them take my dog.

[screaming] THEY ARE THEY THEY BROKE MY ARMS. GIVE IT TO MY DAD. That's my husband. >> The next thing that happens is even weirder. Her husband arrives, and from the moment he steps in, it becomes pretty clear that they seem to be operating on the same wavelength. Like this situation just found its match. >> THEY GOT VIDEO. >> STAY OVER THERE NOW. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT YOUR HANDS UP. >> NO, TWO HANDCUFFS. SPREAD YOUR ARMS. >> BEFORE YOU GO ON CUFFS, PUT YOUR Spread your arms. >> They're hurting [clears throat] me.

But even from inside the car, she keeps it going. Like there's still another round left in her. >> Stop. >> yourself. Can you let them wizard? They hurt like a Ah! >> [screaming] >> I WANT MY CAMERA AND MY SON. Go yourself. GO YOURSELF. GO! >> [screaming] >> YOU'RE SO, HEY HEY [screaming] HEY HEY Can you answer me? Can you answer me?
