She be doing weird stuff like that man. She do this stuff all the time, man. I'm telling you. It's It's a time she she hit me when we staying out there and called the police and told them I'm trying to block her in. How blocking you in and you hit me and I never even hit you then. >> Oh, man. She know that stuff. >> Can I uh smoke a cigarette? >> No, but if you want some socks, I did promise I'd get you some socks, but you You stay here. Tell me where they're at. >> Uh, they in the bag in the black bag on the left side. >> The duffel bag down there. >> No, the left. >> This this this black trash bag. >> Yes. There some socks. They clean. >> I know. I just see. >> Yeah, you could take it with you. >> They're going to set in your property, but as soon as you're out, they'll give it to you so you can have it. Make a phone call. >> I'm saying why am I getting arrested? So why she not getting arrested? She scratched me too though. >> That's not fair though. >> Get the cuffs off. It looks like you guys grab my phone. I'm going back up there so I can grab it for you. I have never open phone. So why should you have a whole gun in the house? Why would I have to do anything? Why would I use the jail system? >> Like what do you mean? >> Like far as the charge. >> So you go to jail, there's no bond anymore. So everyone sees a judge in the morning. If you go to jail for stealing a candy bar, you can't bond out that day. You got to see the judge tomorrow. So, you'll see the judge tomorrow and then they'll decide if they're going to just release you and give you a court date or if they will um detain you until the court date. Now, most of the time, to be honest with you, they just release people, give them your court date, and then, you know, promise to comply and come back at that date. But, I don't know, they look at your criminal history, prior charges, prior recurring charges. So, if it's your 10th domestic, then the judge will be less likely just to let you go tomorrow and say, "Make sure you come back." Because then they know you're probably going to go do it again. So, it it just depends. It depends on the judge. Depends on what day of the week it is. It's uh But yeah, so you'll go, you get booked. No matter what, you see the judge tomorrow, so you spend the night. Odds are in the morning, they'll likely release you with a court date. >> That's kind of how it goes. >> So, that's a felony mistake. That's a felony. >> I don't think so. So, I'll close door. try to get into my car real quick. But yeah, he's good. He'll pop it open, take some pictures of you, and then you guys will get out of here. All right, go to the >> the courthouse. >> Yeah, there's going to be a like a three-day automatically place. So, he can't come back for 3 days. If he does, he violates the judge's order of protection. >> Okay. >> So, that should be in place. So, you basically have 3 days to go get one. I would do it sooner rather than later. Okay. I'm trying to go now and catch you. >> Thank you.
