On March 11th, 2026, a Florida officer responded to a harassment complaint after a man's former wife placed 17 calls and nine voicemails to his phone in a single overnight window following a prior formal citation for the same conduct. >> Okay. Hi. >> I missed the call. I was over the bushes there. Um, I'm just wanting to document everything that's going on. So, I'm I'm pulling up. This is from last night. Did you you saw the the email I sent you? >> Mhm. >> So, I don't know if you want to go through these again, but I don't know if you listen to them. They're scary. >> What What is going >> I didn't know she got arrested. My last development was talking to you. >> Yeah. So, I >> quieted down and I was super cool. And then yesterday I got a victim impact statement in the mail and I said, "Oh [ __ ] maybe something happened with a case number and then this." So, I don't I don't know if clearly something's going on with her like that. That's not normal behavior. >> This is how you make your voice sound like that. >> Right. Right. She called me. >> I issued her a notice to appear, >> which is an arrest, but on paper. That's why she's not on KSO. Yes. >> And I did that because of how cooperative she was with me. I called her. So, >> right. I called her. Um, she answered the phone. She was respectful. She met with me on a drop of a dime. Um, so you work with me, I work with you. Right. >> Fair. >> Um, so I gave her that notice to appear. She had a court date. She had a court date on the 5th. Supposed to fill that out, but I got that after the 5th. >> Um, so she then called me Saturday or Sunday, I don't know. um told me I it it made no sense. She wanted to file charges on you or Camila for dropping the kids off to her parents house when nobody was there. And I'm like and she was claiming that it's neglect. And I'm like that's not neglect. You know, the the kids are old enough. I think you know >> Sunday so that we didn't even have kids actually. >> But she Yes. But she's talking back like >> it's just something happened prior. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, which was never reported then. Um, I don't think anything happened to the kids because of that. You know what I mean? So, uh, it seemed a little retaliatory in my opinion. >> Um, >> but there honestly like there's no there's no breaking of the law of that. You know, if she's not okay with Camila being around your kids, then she needs to >> she needs to take you back to court. That has nothing to do with me. I gave her the statue so that she can read it on her own and if she didn't like it, she could speak to my sergeant. >> Uh I haven't heard from her back, but that was her not wanting you to get the kids today. Is today? No, Monday. I'm sorry. >> I would have gotten them. It seems to me that's become a pattern is she freaks out during either exchange if she's about to get them. So it'll be Saturday, Sunday. She she >> So who has the kids right now? >> They're at school. They're in my custody. >> Okay. So, you had them last night when these voicemails were coming in >> and I saw them these morning. Yeah. This morning and that is scary. Like that gave me chills the first few times and I'm I was talking to my barber today. It's at what point does she decide to do something actually crazy? >> I don't know how scared I have to actually be. >> So, um, has the state reached out to you? >> No, I didn't know anything till this letter and then the letter got to me too late so I could never give a victim impact statement. >> Okay. I you can still submit that. I I will, but >> um but it really sounds like you need to proceed with like a no contact order. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But I mean it just that doesn't sound like she's in her right state of mind at all. So >> it's like um >> if if she had my kids last night, I would be reallying scared you to go check on them because I couldn't tell if that was my daughter screaming for help or what the noise is, >> right? >> So I'd be freaking out. Luckily, they're with me and I'm not concerned about them, but they are going to go back with her. So, I do want I'm really glad you followed through last time and I'm really hoping I I'm not doing this to be vindictive. I want to get help or whatever the hell is going on. >> So, since the last time since I met with you and I issued her that NTA, has she contacted you at all anymore? >> This will have been the first. >> That would have been the first since her arrest. >> Correct. And again, I wasn't aware of arrest. I thought you talked to her and it scared her and I was like, "Oh, good. At least that happened." >> No. Um, I like to talk to both anytime an accusation's being made, >> I follow through with my investigations, I want to talk to everybody involved, right? Because you could say something out of spite, you know, and and it could be completely false. And I'm not saying that that's what you're doing, but I deal with people like that all the time, right? So, I spoke with her and I wanted to see like, okay, well, are there like is this like a back and forth thing? Like, are you leaving voicemails that are causing these? And there was nothing. So, for that reason, I was like, well, I'm going to I have to pro, you know, go through with the NTA like you wanted as a victim, you wanted to pursue charges, so >> I did that. Um, okay. So, do you want to pursue charges again? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, >> so I I did email them to you once. This time there's dates on them. >> Yeah. Is that it? The the voicemails that you sent me? >> There are some additional calls. Maybe I can send a screenshot. Some of these don't have voicemails attached, so I didn't forward those to you, but there were more calls than what I sent you. >> You have your calls and your voicemails together? >> Um, I Yeah, these are just my calls. >> Okay. Are are these her? >> Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody else is calling me. No call ID. >> Okay. Did you talk to her on that one? >> She was had daughter getting ready for softball, which was a huge [ __ ] show yesterday. She showed up late to get daughter. >> So, yes, at that point that was my daughter calling from her phone. I knew she was with mom. I answered because it's daughter who's >> late to pictures and freaking out and wanted me to meet her. And his grandma was involved in this whole exchange of trying to get kids after school. But that's why I answered those two. >> Okay. No, that's no problem. Um, okay. So, can you count how many phone calls she called and left you? >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Oh, I start again. >> Hi. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17. >> When was the first one? The >> first one that I I didn't answer, right? We're not counting. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That was yesterday. 5:02 p.m. >> Well, what would that have been about the whole softball issue? >> I doubt it because she would have at this point. Let's Let's check times. 5:00 5:02, but I just answered. So, I don't know why she would have kept calling me. 5. Was she at the field? She was already at the field. So, by 5, that's the reason I stopped answering is cuz now daughter's at the field, I'm at the field, and I see calls and I say, "I don't need to answer this shit." >> All right. So, let's move forward. Let's let's let's not include that one, right? Because >> this starts then it's >> 104 >> 104 and then it stopped 218 is the last one. So most of them are like 144 to 2 minutes. >> How many voicemails did she leave you in between that? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >> All right. Um, do me a favor and play them just because I have what you sent me and I'm I'll submit those already, but just to put them on camera. Yeah. Help, please. You heard the one myself and help. >> Yeah. So 144 was when she started leaving voicemails. >> This will, I believe, have been. Yes, that's the first voicemail. These previous two did not. >> Okay. Okay. Play the other one. >> Okay. We're up to second one here. >> Please help [clears throat] me. >> That was 145. This is 146. It's okay. Okay. I never [groaning] wanted you VERY you >> were with her for many years. You're positive that is her voice. Yes. >> Okay. >> 47 49. >> I I hope she gets some help from this. I I hope that this leads to a good resolution cuz it's really it's my kids, you know? This is their mom. It's scary. >> [screaming] >> YOU CAN'T [screaming] MOTHER >> [screaming] >> You [ __ ] use 152. >> [screaming] [screaming] >> Uh 152. This is 154. [screaming] AGAIN. [screaming] >> And that that will have been the last voicemail. >> And then those are still miss calls from >> these are two more missed calls at 218. Yeah. And I don't see voicemails attached to those >> and nothing today. >> Uh no, I don't see anything else besides that after that. >> Okay. All right. Well, this time it's not going to be a a written arrest. It's going to have to be >> I feel if you would have gone to jail, then maybe she wouldn't. She'd be more afraid. Obviously, there's not a real threat of fear here. >> Sure. But it's the the harassing phone calls, right? Yeah. Okay. Um, >> on Friday, I'm about to take a plea to do 30 days. The state wants me to do 30 days for calling my ex. I called way less times and I never said anything threatening. So, that's part of I tried to give you some of that backstory. It doesn't change the circumstances of this case, but it's just um sometimes the state can take these things very seriously when I did a lot less. So, >> sure. >> When is she supposed to have your kids again? >> Monday. >> Okay. And it's Wednesday. >> I'm going to court Friday. >> You guys are going to court Friday? >> I'm going to court Friday >> for this. >> For my own thing. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. Well, that it wouldn't have anything to do with this one or >> Oh, no. It won't. It won't. You're the victim. >> You tell the judge and say, "Hey, maybe I need to be around for my kids." But I think that's farfetched. Anyway, we're going to see. >> Yeah. Have you talked to her parents about this? Like, >> no, because I think last time you advised me not to, but long time ago I used to, and I would have forwarded these, but they know how she is. They find it difficult to deal with her. I don't think there's a lot that they can do to help really. Is this normal behavior for her? >> I have >> leaving those voicemails and like changing her voice and stuff like that. It like it's it's almost like she's mentally disturbed >> and it does seem to be escalating like no this is I've never heard her alter her voice like that. Um but yeah, I would agree. I I feel like again this isn't like I want her to get in trouble or just so that she's I want her to stop. I want her to find out what's going on with herself so my kids aren't exposed to this [ __ ] >> Yeah. All right. Um, just give me a minute. Okay. >> Acted. >> Don't do it to me. Please. >> Listen, like right now, whatever happens today is done. There's nothing we can do about it right now. This that you try to explain to us. This is something that you can tell the judge. You can tell I don't want to talk >> like right right now. You are going 100%. >> Because it's [laughter] more than probable cause for everyone. I didn't do nothing. Please >> gloves. I just don't >> Gabby, I can't believe you did that to me. Goddamn hostage IF IT WAS YOU. STOP IT. YEAH, you'reing taking me to mying kids. Stop squeezing my arms. There she is. You are unbelievable. >> I got you. I got you. All right. Listen. Listen. Before. Okay. Anything on you? Hard me. Poke me. Stick me. Anything? Anything on you? I should know about weapons, knives, anything like that. >> Thank you. >> Nothing in your bra, right? No. No. >> You can check it. Anything at the jail is a felony. Okay. >> You can check me, Gabby. I don't have anything on me. Okay. Thank you for being kind to me, man. >> Thank you for being humane with me. Did I get my spare hair out? >> Lean back a little bit. >> I'll be at the jail. I'll see you there. >> Please. >> I'll go with you on screaming that she wants to go to the hospital. >> I said going to the hospital is not going to get you out of jailing right now. >> Okay. Hey, >> talk to me. What's going on? >> I don't deserve to be here. I didn't do nothing wrong, sir. Please, I didn't do anything wrong. >> Yeah, I'll try to explain ourselves like best as I could, right? >> Whatever happens, why are you asking to go to hospital? >> Because I'm scared. I don't know why y'all are doing this to me. >> We're not scared. I'm scared. >> Okay. >> Yes, she knows I didn't do anything. She knows he's doing this. It's a no caller. >> She doesn't. If she knew, she wouldn't. >> NO, SHE KNOWS. AND SHE'S I feel like she's working for him. I don't know what's going on. Please help me. I know you're a good guy. Everybody tells me you're a good guy. I know you. I know you're a good guy. I didn't do nothing wrong, sir. >> She's good. You want to let them know that we're here? That way when they >> Please, sir. Please. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Please. Please. >> I'll be RIGHT BACK. >> NO. I DIDN'T DO NOTHING WRONG. >> I know. And I also know you're smart enough to understand that like at this point like you cannot >> I know. Why is she [laughter] doing this? >> She's not she is not doing it personally. >> She knows [laughter] how to do something. She just happens to be you know what happened initially? She was helping somebody out by taking that call initially and then she was stuck with it. It wasn't in her zone. It wasn't assigned to her. She helped somebody out and picked that picked that call up. Okay. So, that's is not personal. >> Please, please, sir, don't do this. I don't want to go. Please. >> Okay. Your dad's talking to Jenna right now about like I don't know about the kids situation. >> My dad's old. He's not that old. >> Yes, he is. He's 70 years old. Something's going to happen to him. Please. >> What's going to happen to him? >> Yes, it is. Please. >> What would happen to him? >> He's going to have aing stroke. You guys are taking this little girl for no reason. Please don't do this. >> Well, it's it's not I don't know what happened yesterday, but >> listen to the stuff that happened very concerning back up. Florida statute 365.16 makes it unlawful to place telephone calls with intent to annoy, harass, abuse, or threaten. The prosecution needs to prove three things. The defendant placed the calls. They were directed at a specific person, and the intent was to harass, not to communicate. 17 calls, nine voicemails, all within roughly 14 hours. That volume alone does not satisfy the statute intent does. But when the content includes an altered voice, references to self harm, and a birthday song left at 1:52 in the morning, the intent element is not a close question. The more serious exposure sits under Florida statute 784.048, the stalking statute. It requires a course of conduct, meaning two or more acts directed at a specific person causing substantial emotional distress, serving no legitimate purpose. Every element clears here without dispute. If any voicemail content rises to a credible threat, placing the recipient in reasonable fear of bodily injury, the charge elevates under subsection 3 to aggravated stalking, a thirdderee felony in Florida, carrying up to 5 years in state prison. Whether the state attorney pursues that track depends on factors the footage cannot resolve. The officer's first response was a notice to appear, a written citation that functions as an arrest on paper and places the subject under court jurisdiction. Under Florida Statute 903.047, a subject who resumes unlawful conduct after receiving an NTA gives the officer statutory authority for a physical custodial arrest. The subject had a court date, remained under court jurisdiction, and continued the same pattern regardless. The physical arrest was lawful. The Fourth Amendment concern here is not the arrest. It is the phone review at the subject's residence. The Supreme Court in Riley versus California held that accessing the digital contents of a phone requires a warrant, absent consent, or exigent circumstances. Neither is documented clearly in the footage. The officer already had the voicemails emailed to him by the complainant. He did not need the phone. That is the one gap the defense will target. During transport, the subject made repeated spontaneous statements, asserting innocence, questioning the arresting officer's motives, identifying other personnel by name. None of it was elicited. Under Rhode Island versus Inis, spontaneous statements not triggered by interrogation are admissible. Everything said in that vehicle is on the record. Florida's Marcy's law codified in the state constitution at article 1, section 16, a guarantees crime victims timely notice of proceedings and the right to submit impact statements before case resolution. The complainant received the victim impact form after the prior court date had already passed. The officer did not cause that failure. It was systemic, but it happened and Marcy's law required it not to. The lead officer earns an A minus. His probable cause foundation was solid. Documented calls, emailed voicemails, prior NTA on file. His deescalation during a physically charged arrest was consistent and professional. The subject herself thanked him for being humane. That reflects the standard he held throughout. The warrantless phone review is the one thing that keeps this from an A. The subject earns a C++. She complied with the physical arrest and did not escalate both factors that matter. Against that, she received a formal notice to appear for this exact pattern from of conduct and resumed it anyway. The prior citation was not a warning. It was an arrest on paper. She continued regardless. The department earns a B. The investigative approach was sound and the NTA decision on first contact in exchange for the subject's cooperation was proportionate. The procedural failure in victim notification is a systems problem, not an individual one. But it happened and Marcy's law required it not to. First lesson, documentation is what makes a harassment case enforceable. The complainant preserved every voicemail, forwarded them by email, and played each one on camera for the officer. Without that record, there is no case, just a verbal complaint against a cooperative subject. Second, a notice to appear is not a warning. It is a written arrest. The subject was already under court jurisdiction when she placed those calls. Continuing the same conduct after a formal citation does not just repeat the original offense. It adds a legal layer. The first encounter did not carry. Third, once in custody, silence is the only choice that costs nothing. The subject spoke extensively during transport. None of it was elicited. All of it is admissible, and some of it may complicate her defense. Invoking the right to remain silent at the point of custody removes that risk entirely. Evidence derived from a warrantless phone review faces a suppression motion under the exclusionary rule. If the call log evidence is suppressed, the prosecution's case narrows to what the officer already had in hand, the emailed voicemails. Strong enough, but the gap should not have existed.
