We got you on video. We got you, your
vehicle.
What'd you do over there at her house? I
spray painted hole on her house. Why?
Because she's anshole. On April 10th,
2025, a woman in Westlake, Ohio wakes up
to find crude insults scrolled in black
spray paint across the outside of her
home. As the investigation unfolds,
authorities identify a suspect who
appears to be driven by a deep personal
grudge. I'ming pissed off at the The
following is based on official police
records, and most of the footage has
never been seen before. Please note that
all persons charged with a crime are
presumed innocent unless and until
proven guilty in a court of law. At 7:00
a.m., a shaken homeowner calls 911 after
discovering her home has been
vandalized. Looks like 911, where's your
emergency? I just woke up this morning
and my entire house has been spray
painted and something was done to my
car. So, it's spray painted in black
spray paint. I I I don't know. Police
arrived to find the caller's home in a
chilling state with windows blacked out
and the wordshole scrolled across the
garage door notably misspelled. I'm
really freaked out cuz my husband's not
even home. Your husband's not even? No,
he's not. You're home alone? I'm home
alone? All right. And I woke up to the
What? What's your name? I'm having a Oh,
it's okay. Let's go inside and relax.
What's done is done. Next is sorting
through it. And they he poured something
in the car.
And he was wearing Sorry, we didn't
think he gloves cuz we have it on the
ring camera. Oh, sweet. Inside, the
homeowner shares the ring footage with
police as well as her husband's
suspicions that the man captured on
camera is no stranger. So, my husband
sent me. This is the guy and I have him
on the Ring camera in the driveway. You
recognize him? No. Does your husband
know? The one thing he said, and he
thinks he's being a little paranoid.
About a year ago, I had a car accident
with a guy. He's never given us any
trouble, but he was like, "Maybe I'm
just being paranoid because that was an
older guy, too." One officer steps
outside to grab a victim statement form
while the other stays with the woman as
she calls her husband. I think it kind
of looks like him, to be honest with
you. You do? Yeah. I take a look at it
and have them compare. I don't have the
side by side, but it's the other guy.
Yeah, I think Oh, yeah. I'm not trying
to, you know, maybe not, but I think it
looks like him for sure. Michael Deetsz
is his name. Though they're not direct
neighbors, 64year-old Michael Deetsz
lives within the same area as the
victim. The couple claims that they saw
the police at Michael's home the
previous weekend, though they were
unsure exactly why officers were there.
I'll be able to pull our body camera
from when we dealt with him this weekend
and be able to be like, "Oh, yeah, that
that's him." Maybe he didn't get any
money. Yeah. Who knows? Well, because
the thing was is that what happened is
he's one of those people that like tries
to back into his driveway, right? So, so
I was going and he basically he came
back out on the drive and he hit me. She
adds that the man was claiming no injury
at the time, but later changed his story
with the insurance company. The officer
notices his partner hasn't returned and
steps outside to find him talking to the
victim's neighbor. How you doing? Hey,
this is the neighbor. Oh, I'm so sorry.
I don't know what happened. Hi, I'm so
My husband's not even home. He's in
Chicago on the phone. Oh my god. I I
can't believe I'm just so sorry. I I was
telling the officer I have on my Ring
camera a car.
I don't know what that means to
anything.
Yeah, we'll come check it out for sure.
But it was like around 450. Yeah, cuz I
have it on That's the guy. Oh, you got
the guy. Yeah, but we don't have the
car. We only have the guy. The car would
Do you know him? No. Yeah. So, so sorry.
The car is fine.
Yeah. Don't touch Yeah. Yeah. Don't
touch anything yet. There's foam. What
is that? That's whatever you put in my
car. Okay. We'll we'll we'll take it.
And Oh, there's more.
Oh, he spray painted the whole side of
the house, too.
Yep. Some brand new siding. Oh, and
there he doesn't even know how to spell
hole either. So, he's really
intelligent. Sorry.
Yeah. If you're going to do it, know how
to spell. The homeowner surveys the rest
of the house exterior before crossing
into her neighbor's yard. Excuse me.
I was going to ask people. Okay, hold
on. But they have a rain cam doing our
job. You're doing our job. That's what
you pay us for. I know. I'm sorry. Let's
get you. That's my husband, by the way.
Tell her to stop doing our job. That's
our job. I know. Please find Hey, find
this guy. Yeah, we got to put you on the
payroll now. Come on. Sorry. Back
inside, an officer advises the couple to
have the vehicle towed as they aren't
quite sure what may have been put in the
gas tank. This is ridiculous. It's
starting to the pieces are starting to
make more sense. Like this is not like a
random hy jinks from the kids. Find this
guy. He needs to go to jail. By 10:15
a.m. officers arrive at Michael's home
where his initial politeness will soon
unravel when he learns their reason for
the sudden visit. Hello. How you doing?
Go ahead. I'm on the phone. You're on
the phone. You have a minute? Yeah.
Yeah. You want to be out or in? You guys
want to see what's up? It's raining.
Come on inside. Thank you. I mean, no
need for you guys to be outside if it's
raining. Come on in, man. All right. All
right. Thank you guys for your service,
man. A lot of you guys are usually
exervice, so yeah, don't mind the play.
He's inside because it's cold outside.
What's up? Hey, I'm Officer Salazar,
okay? With the Westlake Police
Department. Okay. Okay. I'm
investigating a uh vandalism complaint
that happened this morning at 4:55 a.m.
I don't even know anything about that.
You don't know anything about that? No,
I've been here. You've been here? This
is this my residence? Yeah.
Um, well, did you have some issues with
the people over there? No, I haven't
been anywhere but here. Yeah, I've been
here all night. Yeah. No, I got up. I've
been here. I haven't been anywhere. Just
inside the door, one officer observes a
bag with multiple cans of spray paint.
They read Michael as Miranda writes
before challenging his claim that he
hasn't left his home all morning. The
problem is we got video cameras. All
right. Who has video? The the
complaining does. We got you on video.
We got you, your
vehicle. I'm not saying, you
know, so
I was there then. If you got me on
video, I was there. The officer's next
question opens the floodgates, leading
to a fervent explanation. Why? Why? cuz
she ran through the side of my truck and
she claimed that she was going 30 miles
an
hour and a and a 25. She was going every
bit of 60 and I still have not yet
finished the goddamn My medical still
isn't done yet. She ran into me in 23 in
the front of my house. My truck is
turned turned and she's trying to drive
through the side of my truck. Sir, you
didn't have your directional on. Didn't
have my directional on. You're driving
through the side of my goddamn truck.
She rocks 8,000 lbs of truck and say
she's going 30 30. I wasn't there for
that. But I know, but when I looked at
my big West Coast mirrors, those aren't
semiis. My wheels are turned. I got the
whole lane and she runs into the side of
my truck and the neck's only part of the
problem. Both of my shoulders areed up.
They still haven't looked at those. When
I drove myself to drove myself to the
ER, I took three steps out of the rental
and collapsed in the in the garage. The
rental did. No, I did. Oh, you did? I
collapsed by driving myself at a high
rate of speed to get there. Okay. They
picked me up. Six men had to pick me up.
I'm over 200 lb. Six men had to pick me
up. Mr. Deetsz, I get that. But what
what did you do over there? What all I
don't understand. I'ming pissed off at
the I know. So what' you do? I don't
understand. I can see. We're just trying
to catch up. Huh? We're just trying to
catch up on what's going on. What' you
do over there at her house? I spray
painted hole on her house. Why? Because
she's anshole. What else did you do?
That's it. I tried putting sugar in the
car. Oh, now you got a another car for
the kid. Oh, you're doing great. She's
losing the house after my big teeth
attorney get a hold of her, thating
house is gone. The 100,000 insurance
policy that the insurance covers, oh, it
ain't going to cover near enough cuz the
big an attorney that 120 gets, 100,000
ain't going to cover it, baby. 100,000
ain't going to cover it. 100,000 is
scratching the surface. My pictures that
I took, she's oning gravel on the
passenger side. She never touched or
break when I looked in the rear view
mirrors on the side. She's closer to
Detroit.
Closer to Detroit.
So when I got ran into and I'm stopped.
Yeah. What the? With his confession and
evidence linking him to the crime,
officers place Michael under arrest. Is
this the bag you brought? Huh? Is that
the bag you brought the stuff over in?
Yeah. It's got sugar in the bottom.
That's bag I took on on site over to
there. Yeah, I don't like her. I didn't
do nothing but I'm pissed at her. I'm
still fighting and she'sing buying.
Yeah, I still don't I still don't got my

that house. You have any weapons on you,

we walk in, it's got sugar dripping off
of it. the rubber gloves that we found
on scene, the giant eagle bags that we
saw, and was full of sugar in the
bottom. I just spray painted the
outside.
She couldn't see out the windows. That's
menacing.
I blacked out our windows.

all that matters. Yep.
