She went from victim to suspect after police found him. >> In Shasta Lake, California, deputies respond to a reported domestic dispute after a couple returns from a Christmas party. By the time they arrive, the boyfriend has left the apartment. >> So, what happened today? Starting from from the beginning, >> we were at his Christmas party at Lulu's and then got here and we were upstairs and I was talking about my child's father who just passed away and he didn't like it and he started my child has photos of his dad >> in his room and started breaking them in my house. So now they're shattered in my son's room. >> So you were at the lo were you guys drinking over there or no? Yeah. Where were you guys drinking? >> Tequila. >> Were your kids present during this? >> No. Okay. So you got upset about bringing him up and then he went into your child's room and broke the photos >> pictures. >> How did he break those? Did he hit them or throw them or >> he picked them up and threw them and now there's glass all over my son's room. >> Okay. Okay. So, he threw the glass pictures. Then what happened? >> He told He said that I was his ex. He called me his ex's name. And I I was like, I'm not which is his ex's name. and he said, "My co-workers called you a" and this is what happens. And I was like, "Well, I'm not a like I'm not your ex. Like, my child's, you know, he says, I'd rather get beat by my ex with you." And I said, "Okay." And so he started going into my son's room and breaking all the pictures on my child's father and he grabbed me my arms. >> How did he grab you? Was it with both hands? Where did he grab you at? I'm sorry I have to get detailed, but these are questions I have to ask. He >> was grabbing right here. You said that not you said I can't be with you. You're a piece of [ __ ] You only talk about your child's father. >> On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard was he? >> Not that hard. >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> I was just on the phone. That's when he grabbed me when I >> How many times did he twice? And then when I hit him with his phone, he walked out. >> You hit him with his phone. >> No, I handed him his >> handed him home. Okay. >> Sorry. I handed him his phone after I hug after I hung him up with he asked me to go to my car. >> So after he shook you and said all those things to you, you handed him his phone back and then he left. >> Okay. >> And he walked downstairs. I don't know where he went. Probably that way to his parents' house. >> Was it just this picture frame? [clears throat] >> It's tough. This is a This is tough. Um, this is tough and some people might not like what I have to say. Okay, well that's every video, but it can't please everybody. But my opinion is my opinion and that's that. Listen, it's a slippery slope when you're messing with a single mom. Okay? because you always have another man kind of you're you're coming into a already made family. You know what I'm saying? H it's it's tough fellas. You know what I'm talking about, man? You know, it takes a real strong guy to really like come into that situation. But the thing is is that she's talking about the baby father, right? You and you know, whatever. We're just going to go with whatever she says, right? We're just going to go with this story for now because we didn't hear his his side of the story yet. We're just going to go with this. But she she's bringing up the baby father and stuff like that. Whatever. He passed away, right? But the last thing a man wants to hear is about another man. You know what I'm saying? Now, in this situation, it's a little different. He passed away. So, of course, she probably still had, you know, has some, you know, want to vent or whatever, you know, but vent to your home girls, okay? Don't vent to your man about your baby fought. Like, he don't want to hear THAT [ __ ] NOBODY DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT. Nobody wants to hear that. Now that guy, the new guy that stepped in, he's messed up. If he went in that kid's room and smashed them photos of the kid with the kid with his his father and stuff, that's completely out of line. That is messed up, man. You know, that's that's that's not right. you know, because the at the end of the day, the child, you know, the child has nothing to do with it and that's his dad at the end of the day. You know, that's why it's it's a slippery slope being a step parent coming in there, you know, you could be the best stepparent all you want or whatever, but you got one mom, one dad, you know, and that's that, you know, you got stepdad that could that could definitely step up to the plate and, you know, do his part or whatever. And then you can have stepmom, you know, who steps up to the plate and does her part, you know, but if the rose is reversed, but you got mom and dad, you know, that kid shouldn't have his picture smashed with his father. You know, this is this is nasty work, boy. >> Yeah, it's my son's father. >> Okay. And then where were you at when he grabbed you? right here. >> Right here. Okay. Okay. This is called a Marcy's card and it lists different resources available to you if you need if that's something you're interested in. Okay. And has your rights as well being the victim cuz this is domestic violence. Okay. One last thing I have to do. I know you don't have any visible injuries, but I do need to take a picture of you. Okay. And you don't have any marks or anything on your arms? >> Not that I know of. I don't think so. >> Okay. >> I don't think I do. >> Okay. >> Not that I know of. No. >> At this point, what do you make of her account when deputies locate her boyfriend? Another perspective emerges. Will his statement clarify what happened or raise more questions? >> The deputies going to come talk to you about what's going on. Okay. >> I know. >> I didn't hit nobody or anything. >> Well, that's that's what they're going to talk to you about. Okay. talking. >> All right. >> Hold on real quick before I ask you anymore. Okay. >> Just cuz you're in handcuffs you get in pain. He's got to read your rights. Okay. No big deal. >> Yeah. They're right. >> The thing that's questionable is why you left. You know, if you didn't do anything wrong, why why are you trying to get up out of there >> to remain silent? You understand? >> Mhm. >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. >> Understand? Sir, >> do you have the right to the presence of attorney before and during any questioning? Understand? >> Yes, sir. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you free of charge before any questioning if you want. Make >> sense. Yes, >> sir. It does make sense. >> Do you understand right you? >> Yes. >> With those rights in mind, do you want to speak to me further about the incident today? >> No, I don't have to. >> That's a choice you can make. It's up to you. I can't. >> Yes, I will, sir. >> Okay. So, again, um we were out my dinner and my uncle's girlfriend said something to my girlfriend. And when we got home, it was about her being disrespectful to me. And then she brought up Grant, her ex had died. And I was like, "Well, I didn't say anything about that." And then she got mad and I was like, "Okay, well, I don't really understand. And I don't care." Which I shouldn't have said, but I was like, "I really don't understand. I really don't care because every >> See, that's deep down how guys feel. Nobody don't want to hear that [ __ ] man. Nobody don't want to hear about your ex. Like, not you see the the truth come out. I really I shouldn't have said that, but I really don't care. >> I really don't care because every time I try to talk to you about your ex whom has passed away, you just ignore me. And she socked me straight in my face. And I was like, I what what was that for? Socked me again. And I I had told her when we very first got together that my ex used to beat me. I was like, "Wow, well, at least you don't hit like my ex did, which probably shouldn't have said because that's antagonized situation." And she hit me again. And then she grabbed me by my throat, which I'm pretty sure there's probably marks on my neck. I never laid my hands on on her at all, which I heard her tell who she was on the phone with that I did hit her, which I promise you I did not. And she kept telling me that I needed to leave. So I So I left. I walked out. Okay. Um I sat at the bottom of the stairs for 15 minutes because I told whoever was on the phone that I would be waiting there for 10 minutes. And I I did. I did. I did as I said. And I waited for 15. And then after that, I started walking here. >> Okay. >> See, do you need medical attention at all? >> Well, I'm going to say no, but no. >> Okay. >> And then So, >> did you um go in the room and >> I broke one picture? Yes. >> Broke a picture? >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I did. That was after she grabbed my grandma's necklace and ripped it off my off of my neck and threw it on the ground and stomped on me. And I was like, I'm I told her I was like, are you serious right now? She's like, yeah, your grandma means nothing. I was like, okay, well then I'm going to go break the picture of your ass. Because my grandma, she knew that was the before we even got together, I I I told her that that was [snorts] the one person that taught me a lot about love. And she did that. So yeah, I did. >> So when during all this she hit you? >> Right before she ripped my necklace off my neck. Okay. >> She hit me three times and then grabbed me by the throat. And as she grabbed me by the throat, I was like, "You need to stop touching me." And I tried to pull back. That's when I don't know if there's marks on my neck or not. That's when I felt like she scratched my neck. And then that's when she grabbed my necklace, ripped it off, threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and then that's when I went into the room and I grabbed the picture and I threw it on the ground. Okay. >> I ain't going to lie, his story makes sense. >> [laughter] >> It's It's a lot more It's a lot more descriptive than hers and it and it explains like why each thing happened. You know, this is interesting. See, the cops got work to do, man. Because in a lot of these situations, you know, she's crying. You know, that's the that's the that's the number one method. That's the go-to, you know. You you know ladies, y'all can turn that crying on and off, you know. So, you know, that's the method. You know what I mean? Just cry, you know, and boohoo boohoo, right? And you know, a lot of times the guy get get jammed up, you know? So, it's interesting to see like now I see why he left. He stayed. He said there was somebody on the phone. Like he stayed there for like 15 minutes, waited, then he started walking, whatever. Um, yes, he did break a photo, which I think is still messed up. Like, let's not get it confused because that's the that's the child's photo. The child has nothing to do with your guys's issue. Okay. So, I still think that's messed up, but that happens after she pops his grandma's necklace off his neck. Like, that's going to send somebody cra if if you have a loved one and you have some memorabilia, whatever from from them or whatever that something that's sentimental to them and you they pop it or somebody break it or whatever, like that's going to piss you off. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, hey, every action has a consequence, right? So, because of that, now he takes it one step further, you know, and it it explains everything, even the name calling to why. See, because the title of this video is he called his girlfriend by his ex name, right? So, when I'm sitting here thinking of when I'm looking at that title, I'm thinking, you know, you know, my mind, you know, I'm thinking maybe they was intimate and then he called out the other name. I'm thinking this is what I thought this video was going to be about. You know what I'm saying? [laughter] That's what I, you know, I don't watch these videos now. So, I'm just going off the title and I'm like, "Oh, this title sound crazy." But now that we're getting the story as to they was talking about, you know, the ex and stuff like that and then he calls her he she she he calls her by her ex name because she was hitting him and he's used to abuse in the past and he said, "Yo, you you hit just like my you know and then so I his story makes sense because it shows how it started and everything escalated Escalated. Escalated. So >> after you got pitch thr on the ground, what happened next? >> I put a sweater on and I left. >> On a scale of 1 to 10, like did she squeeze? Did she cut the airway off for me? Like >> I can breathe but she squeezed. Yeah, but I ripped back. >> Okay. >> Was it one-handed, two-handed? >> One-handed at first and then when I bounced back, she grabbed me by by two hands and I ripped sideways. And that's what and the second time is when I felt like it scratched both sides of my neck. >> How much did she have drink? >> Four shots. >> How much you had drink? >> Four shots. Both had four shots at the party before you guys went home. >> Mhm. >> Oh, nothing since. >> But that was her ex's favorite alcohol and she chose to pick that at the party and she tried to hit me with it. So when I was leaving, I grabbed it cuz she missed my head. It's like I'mma take I'm gonna take some pictures of your injuries. Okay. >> See, come on. This is This is too much. You can't be with somebody like this regardless. She's still hung up on her ex. How the hell does the new boyfriend know what her ex favorite alcohol is? Like, how do you even know that she talks? She's still roped in with her baby daddy. For real. For real. Like you. Oh man. Start your [ __ ] from the ground up, man. I'm trying to tell you fellas. Start it from the ground up, man. Cuz this is No, this is crazy. >> Just look at me normal. Head down. >> So if uh if she hit you >> like like I don't like I'm saying I don't know if there is actually any injuries on my neck. I was going to say it feels like there's a little scratch. So, if she hit you and you're the victim of all this, how come you're hiding from me and walking this way and avoiding us? Why aren't you like waving us down, coming to us and we show up and wait for us? We were there pretty quick in less than 10 minutes and we were there. >> Nobody want to talk to >> I set a timer for 10 minutes and I was sitting at the bottom of the street. >> Where were we at when we were all driving around four deputies for the last 10 minutes looking for >> I walked over to my uncle's house, knocked on his door and then he didn't answer. >> The boyfriend's account raises a crucial question. How did the confrontation begin? Deputies returned to the apartment to follow up on these new details. How will she respond to his allegations? >> All right. So, we found him. Okay. Um, so can you go back kind of what happened again cuz got a little more to the story. So, I just want to see what else you got to say. >> And then you started going off about my child's father. And then I was like, I'm not going to have this argument with you. M >> you knew that when you got with me that it was going to be hard for me that I had to process this cuz it happened in April of this year. Either you were going to be with me or you were not. And it was going to be a long like it was going to be hard. Like either you're going to deal with me for my grieving or you're not going to deal with me. And he chose to stay. But he still didn't accept me talking about him. My son talks about him all the time. >> That was his dad. >> But he still can't accept it. >> Did you hit him or grab his necklace or grab him by the throat at all? >> No. >> No, >> I did grab his necklace and I pulled it off, but that was up and he grabbed me right here. But I already explained that to you >> and he grabbed me right here by my arm. >> Gotcha. >> Yeah, but this is the first time we hearing about you popping off the necklace though from you. >> Okay. And then I grabbed his necklace and I pulled it off. And his necklace is sitting right there on the table. >> Take a photo of that. [snorts] Defend myself. >> But did you punch him on the face at any point? >> No. >> No. Okay. Um, >> how did he get marks on his neck? >> Name. He called me a which is his ex. And I said okay. >> And he said a bunch of other things. >> Okay. Um, >> but you have anything in your pockets or anything like that? >> No, just my phone. >> Okay. What I'm going to have you do is turn around >> for what? >> You're under arrest for felony domestic violence as a manager [laughter] because he has physical injuries on him. And then the rest will be figured out through court. That's what's going [clears throat] on right now. >> But I didn't do anything. >> Why does he have physical injuries? He's got physical injuries here, physical injuries on his neck, red marks all over him. I got to >> Yeah, explain that. Explain it. >> Go off of what I have. >> The injuries sustained by the boyfriend combined with his statement and her admission to snatching the necklace provided grounds for the police to make an arrest. California Penal Code section 273.5 A. >> That's what's going on right now. Okay, turn around. >> Yeah, you my house. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't turn. Don't turn. >> Get in my house. >> Yeah, we'll do that. >> No, wait. Like, can I get my house keys? >> We'll do that. I'll help you out with that. Okay. >> Right now, I don't want him in my house. >> We'll do that. We'll grab what you need. Okay. I'll help you out with that. >> Your kids are They're with who? >> Okay. So, they're safe. >> Arrest records identify Ashley Jessica Schnetzer, who faces a felony charge of inflicting injury on a dating partner. The available documentation does not yet indicate the outcome of the legal proceedings. Do you think a relationship >> Yeah. I mean, [sighs] yeah, this is, you know what I'm saying? Hey, shout out to my single moms out there. You know what I'm saying? No disrespect to y'all, please. No disrespect to y'all. You know, man, yo, this is She's still hung up on this guy. And like I said, it's understandable if he if he passed and stuff, you know, that stuff is understandable. But you you got to know who you can vent to and who you can't. Like if the child is talking about his, you know, his father, then you know, of course, you know that that's completely understandable. But the new guy don't want to keep hearing about this from her. You know, this is completely different situation. Go vent to your friends or something like, you know what I mean? like please cuz I I don't want to keep hearing this, you know, we could talk about it a couple of times, you know, okay, you going through something, boooo, everything going to be okay. Especially if it happened if it was tragic, sudden, you know, if it, you know, that that's understandable, but come on, man.

He's stepping up to the plate. You know, he he's going to have to discipline as well. hot. Like that's it's that [ __ ] sounds like a nightmare. I ain't going to lie.
