Not money, not anything useful to him. He took her phone, the one thing standing between her and a 911 call. That's not panic. That's someone who understood in the middle of all of this exactly how to keep her from reaching out for help. And it's why the next few minutes stop being an interview and become a search. >> All right, he's going to be just northwest of the residence. >> Right behind the fence. >> Right behind the fence. Looks like he might be trying to make it back towards the house. >> Go inside. >> Drew, tell him to go inside. >> Hey, come out to me. >> All right, we got him to talk to us. >> in your Put it down.

I don't feel too good. >> Yeah, yeah, have a seat. You want to sit here? >> Not on the floor. >> All right, down on the spray paint. But go ahead and have a seat. Do you understand these rights? With these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me? >> He's going to get arrested and that's it. >> Hm? >> He's just going to get him arrested and that's it. >> I just need you to answer that first.

Look what she's doing there. >> Anything else talked to anywhere that I need to know about? Lean against the hood for me. Have a seat. So, as of right now you're being placed under arrest. DV strangulation? >> Huh? >> DV strangulation? Theft for the phone. You deprived her of the phone. You didn't allow her to dial 911, which is another crime I told you about.

Thank you, sir. >> Joy Dane Alvarez Journet was booked into the Flagler County Jail and charged with domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, petit theft for the phone he took, and hindering her ability to call for help. He's being held on a $46,000 bond. But here's the part that reframes everything you just watched. This wasn't the first time. Deputies confirmed he'd been arrested back in July of 2023 for domestic battery involving the same woman. So the calm man in the grass explaining that he only came to fix his family, and that's what no one on that quiet street saw coming. Not the neighbor who happened to look outside at the right moment. Not the deputy taking a statement at the door. From the outside, it looked like one bad afternoon. It wasn't. It was the latest chapter in something that had been building for a long time. And the only reason it didn't go further is that one person picked up a phone, made a call. So here's the question worth sitting with. When someone has already been arrested for hurting the same person once, what should happen before there's a second time? Tell me below. And if this one stayed with you, there are more cases like it on the channel.
