And um >> okay, >> I know I need to see a therapist. I know I need to see a psychiatrist, but it's like, you know, a therapist is 125 a visit. >> You're right. But recognition that you need to see those things, okay, is the first step. It sounds like you're a little in over your head, okay, with some things going on in life. >> Please take me home. >> We are going to do what we have to do. And then >> just take me home. >> Cuz if you do act like this though continuously, you are going to go to jail probably. >> Just please just run me. >> Not based off the cuz we haven't we haven't Can you hear? Can you listen to me? >> I need you to listen. >> Please, I will never drive again. >> Do you think crying right now? Okay, >> as an adult is going to help you not go to jail. >> Just please take a breath. MOM WILL NEVER DRIVE AGAIN. >> CHRISTA, take a breath. And you take a breath. >> Take a breath. Breathe. Christa, >> please take me home. >> If you're uncooperative and we can't even do tests, okay, then at that point you're obstructing. >> I am.

I just want to go feed. >> It doesn't matter, Chissa. It doesn't change the fact that we have to make sure you're okay to drive. Okay. >> I don't want to drive. I'll walk. I don't even care. I I'LL WALK. YOU CAN >> YOU need to look me in my eye. You need to look me in my eyes and understand that your your demeanor and the way you're acting right now is going >> I'm really scared. >> You're not scared. I'm terrified. >> What you are doing is you are freaking out because you are scared of the consequence. Okay. So, take a breath. Take a breath. We haven't made a decision on OVI or anything cuz we have to do tests and everything. The reason you could go to drive the reason Christa, >> the reason you could go to jail is if you don't allow us to do our job. Okay? And right now, the way you're acting, it's making it hard to do our job. Okay? >> So, I don't and I we don't want to take you to jail. >> We don't that that is a more intrusive means. Okay? We like to take the least intrusive means necessary. We don't want to take you to jail. Just because we decide one thing or the other does not mean you're going to jail. So the best outcome for you is a result of you being cooperative. And that is it. Okay? We're going to treat you with all the respect that you deserve, but you need to you need to take a breath. Okay? And you need to be able to do everything that this officer or any officer is going to ask of you. Do you understand that? Okay. >> I just want to go to work with us. Um, so can you tell me I know you probably already explained it to to both of these officers, but I need the story because I'm actually the one that's going to write the report, right? >> Can you tell me what happened? >> So, um, I went to work this morning, came home, room dogs, worked a little more. Um, I started a water. >> Uh, we can get you some a little later. >> It's in my truck. I'm just like drying up. Anyway, so I then came home.

So unfortunately if we can't find your driving privileges and you if you're outside of your driving private house. >> Okay. So if we can't verify that you're I mean you coming to get pizza at midnight right now is >> No, it was coming home from the barn is what it was because I have privileges to go to the barn to go ride the horse. >> Right. But you said that you were stopping by. >> I was on my way home. I drive right by here. So I thought I would just grab food. Am I not allowed to like >> I don't know what your privileges tell us. And also your work of what time you're allowed to be at the barn and what time you're not allowed to be at the bar. >> There is not a time. >> We can't verify that cuz you have to have your driving privileges with you. >> We'll get them. Uh we we we're not going to go to your house and grab them. Okay. Um so we can't verify what kind of privileges you have right now. Okay. Um so there's there's a chance that you might have to go to jail tonight, but we're we're going to see what we can do. Okay. But can I give your mom Yeah. >> Um the Can you unlock your phone so she can get the phone number off of it? >> Up. I mean I can >> Okay. All right. And then can I just go on the contacts and then she can go find it? Okay. Um, do you care if I give her your Apple Watch as well? >> I I don't know that it it's my grandma's. Actually, I don't know. >> I don't need it right now. I can't use it. >> Can she take it? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And then do you care if she takes this with her? >> No. >> Is your ID just the key then? >> Yeah. Just take it. >> Okay. I'm going to I'm going to take the I'm going to give her the key. Okay. And then I'm going to get the phone number. Okay. All right. >> Hey, Christa. Are you okay with your mom going to your house to look for your privileges? >> Yeah. Okay. There's a a planner on my house and it's got priv like to go to the barn and stuff and if you look on there's an island in the kitchen. Um there should be a planner and it's it's like it says cat magic or some [ __ ] like that. It's like a cat on the front and then I've got a paper from the courthouse sticking out of it. >> Okay, cool. So, we're going to have your mom try to go to your house and get that for us. If she's able to get that for us, then obviously >> I mean my driving, they aren't like go from here to here at this time. It's like go here for your kid, whatever you need for your kid here. And like I have my daughter in marching band. She also has a horse. We've got out in center so I have to go work that thing. Like it's not like it's, you know, to go out and have fun with your friends. >> Oh, I understand. >> You know, there's a there's a lot. So it's not a I I don't I don't there's not time frames. >> Okay. Um, >> and I understand all that. So, if she's able to find them, that way we can verify it. That way, we know it's true, cuz we can't see that, obviously. >> So, it makes it a little bit more difficult. >> I can pull it up on my email, my phone. >> You can? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, let me ask them real quick. Okay. >> Okay. Krista. So, your mom's going to go to your house and try to get those papers for us. Okay. And we're going to go to our station over there on Big Walnut, and she's going to meet us back there. Okay. Okay. You got you got to get eyes on those privileges because if it does say go over and then start um just do your investigation like you typically do. >> Okay. >> She's been placed under arrest for a couple things tonight. Okay. One, she hit a car on State Route 3 and then drove away. Um she's placed under arrest for OVI. She's driving under a 12-point suspension. Um I'd have to check her OVI suspension to see if she's in privileges. If she's not within privileges, um, we're going to there's there's a chance that she might go to jail tonight if she's not within her OVI driving privileges. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say her picking up pizza, which is what she said she was doing, is not going to be within her privileges. Um, and our court and prosecutors want us like their preferred method for driving under an OVI suspension is taking them to jail. Okay. Um, so we're going to go from there. Um, the car is going to stay here. So, I mean, if you want to come pick it up, but she's not allowed to drive. >> What car did she hit? >> Uh, there was another truck on State Route 3 by Big Walnut that she hit. She passed them in the opposite lanes of traffic, came back over and hit them. >> Is she okay? >> She's okay. Yeah, it was just minor damage. She's just got some mentally like she's has mental issues she's not being treated for right now. >> Yeah, she she made aware she's okay. She just that's she's she's okay. So, um I don't she she has a whole bunch of animals at her house. It's a long story. Is there any way I can get her friend's number to go stay there or >> um Yeah, that's fine. Let me uh see if I can grab her phone and get it from her. >> Okay. Let me see if I can grab her phone and then we'll go from there. Okay. Um but I'll have to check her privileges and then see if she's within her privileges cuz if not, she'll she'll have to go to jail tonight, I believe. So, >> how did she hit a car? >> She was passing them on State Route Three. into the opposite lane and then when she came back over. Yeah, she's been drinking. >> She's not supposed to be drinking. >> Yeah, I know. It sounds like I'm I'm sure that if she's on her OVI suspension, there's some conditions that she's not supposed to be drinking. Is she on medication that she's not supposed to be drinking? >> She's not on it cuz she was a nurse. She lost her job and so she lost her insurance and >> so she's been unmedicated and her mom just died and her my mom and her daughter almost just died like >> Okay. All right. >> There's a lot going on. >> Okay. Sorry. You were calling over and over again. Unfortunat I'm sorry. I asked her. I was like, "Hey, can I answer?" >> Weird when I heard a guy talk. >> Well, I answered. I was I I attempted to answer and she didn't want me to talk to you. I said, "Okay, just >> I'm sure she doesn't want me to." >> Um, so you're aware of the probably the whole situation. Um, when did this happen in 2024? Cuz I just saw her driving privilege paperwork. >> There's two. One was in March, I think. The other one of >> this year, last year, >> and one was in June, >> June or July. So, there was proving driving privileges for two separate occasions. >> That I don't know. >> Give me one second then. Hold on. What we're running into right now is she doesn't currently I'm searching through her car to check to see if she has them. She's supposed to carry her driving privileges on her. We found one, but it looks like it's from the first time. It's an older one from 2024. He said she had one in March, which we she does. We can't find the driving driving privileges for 2025. So, that's what we're looking for. >> Her house is right up the road. Does she know if it's there? like when we go get it. >> So, we can might have to go that route possibly if I can't find it in the truck. If it's it's again, most likely it's outside of her privileges to go visit the horse. >> Um, unless they put it into her privileges. If they didn't, she's going to have to go to jail. >> The second one, they like gave her more privileges than they did the first one. >> And you said it might be at her house. If we can't get Sorry, I thought you were going to say something. Get those privileges. um that might be the determining factor obviously um for her, especially if it does allow her to go there. But we need proof of that. Um so if you're willing to and she's cool, you're going to do that. >> Um I don't know what you were say. >> She said that it should be on the island. There's an island in her kitchen. I'm assuming it should be in a planner that says like cat magic on it or something with cats on it. Okay. >> Um like this officer explained, if we can prove that she was within privileges here, then there's a chance that she might not have to go to jail. >> Even if she was drinking and driving. So, for drinking and driving for us, typically when we do this, like we'll give them their court date and then we'll have a sober party come and pick them up. >> She'll still be charged, but she won't go to jail, >> right? Outside of her OVI privileges, the prosecutor and the courts want us to take them to jail. >> I know they got them. Um, and it's a long story why she has so many animals. Like I said, my mom died and inherited them. So, I think she was given privileges to take care of the animals. >> Okay. Yeah. We just need to make sure that she's within the time frame that she's allowed to be there. And then also that she's allowed to like make stops that are unne So like >> going to get groceries. >> Yes. Stopping to get a pizza may or may not. You know, it is food. So is the court. It's just we need to see what the privileges say. Okay. She wants you to take her Apple Watch. >> Give her her phone. She said she might be able to get it from her email. >> But yeah, I'll go look for the papers and then bring them to the station and then I can get Becky's >> Okay. I'm going to give you [clears throat] her car keys at least cuz um >> Do you have a house key for her to get into her? >> She's got a code. Okay. Okay. A code. Okay. >> Do we know the dogs have been let out? You know, the last time she was home. >> We haven't really asked those certain questions. >> You wouldn't know. She has a house. >> I said my mom just died and she has her 12-year-old arthritic >> code. Okay. >> Do we know the dogs have been let out? You know, last time she was home. >> We haven't really asked those certain questions. >> We wouldn't know. She has a household except my mom just died and she has her 12-year-old arthritic >> pitfall at the house. Okay. >> Um the station on >> State Route 3 and Bigal >> State Route Three and Big Walnut. So, it's going to be straight directly up north if you just look up to Genanoa Township Police Department. Okay. Okay. And we'll be there with her. Um we just got to verify those privileges. So, >> okay. The owl will according
