All
[Music]
right, today's video actually has a lot
of really interesting kind of law
enforcement topics that people in the
public generally don't quite understand.
So, I'm really excited to present this
information to you. Uh, the best way to
do it is I'm actually going to be
walking you through this video. So, I'll
be popping in and out. Uh, the date on
this one was April the 30th, 2024 at
about 9:00 am. Uh, we were dispatched to
a call. I want to make sure I don't run
into YouTube problems here, but this was
an assault. It was a man assaulting a
woman in a bedroom. That's what the call
was. So, if you can get the nature of
what we're looking at here. Uh, this
call came from a duplex. So, it's a
house that's uh been cut in the middle
and there's people that live on both
sides. People that live on the north
side of this duplex were calling in
saying that they can hear a woman
yelling and screaming for help and it
sounds like something bad is happening
to her in a bedroom. So, they called the
police. Uh the video is going to pick up
where we have already arrived on scene.
Um I was actually the first officer on
scene in this particular case. I I
walked immediately to the back door of
the house because I've been to this
house before and I know that that's the
door that everybody always uses. I walk
slowly kind of around the building
listening to see if I can I can hear any
um any sounds. It sounds like a woman
might be assaulted to know if I need to
make immediate entry into the home. Uh
when we arrived, we didn't get anything
that would say we need to make immediate
entry into the home. So, we got lots of
officers on scene. We surrounded the
house, began knocking, making
announcements, and then we're going to
have to make a a discussion, make a
decision on whether or not we have an
exigent circumstance that would allow us
to enter this home without a warrant.
Uh, for those of you that don't know
what an exigent circumstance is, there's
a uh there's kind of a list of them. And
in this case, what we're looking at is
whether or not there is a woman in this
house that needs our help and they need
that help immediately or if it's a
circumstance where, you know, nobody is
in danger and we can go ahead and get a
hold of a judge, get a warrant, and come
back and search this house. So, there's
a little bit of that discussion that's
going to go on in here. And that's one
of the main focuses of this video. After
that, you're going to see us actually
search the house, and we will find the
alleged uh victim and perpetrator, and
I'm going to walk you through all of
that discussion once we get there. So,
here we are. We have the house
surrounded, and we're starting to talk
about what's going to happen next. So
far, everything sounds no
[Music]
more. They're checking to make sure it's
not
I haven't done anything.
All
[Applause]
right, we're knocking
now. All the
police open up.
coming.
Anything in the front? What's up?
Anybody at the front yet?
I know, but someone hollered at us and
then went away.
No one here.
Okay, open the door up. Talk to us.
I'm assuming they barricade that door.
I know you're in there. Open up.
We can hear you in there. So, open the
way in and out.
Talking in there. Just open the door and
talk to us.
Hey guys, the house is surrounded. We
need to talk to you. Come to the door.
Sooner the better we just talk to you
and get out of here. Make sure
everybody's okay.
One of the common misconceptions that is
spread about the internet is that
officers are just a bunch of robots who
are just out there following orders that
we can't think for ourselves. It's
actually quite laughable because as a
police officer on scene, I actually have
a lot of autonomy. I don't have to ask
my supervisor for permission if I'm
going to do something. Uh but in this
particular case, I happen to have a
supervisor supervisor who was standing
right next to me. He's like standing
right over there. And uh we were about
to kick this door. I knew we were about
to kick this door. But since he was on
scene, I decided to go ahead and ask him
if he agreed with that recommendation
because at the end of the day, he's the
one that has to write the letter. And if
you got a supervisor on scene and then
you do the wrong thing, uh he's going to
get in trouble. So you're going to hear
me ask the supervisor, "Hey, are we on
the same page?" Because here's what I'm
about to do. You're also about to see my
demeanor change dramatically. You're
going to get to see a part of Officer
Badger that you've never seen on any of
these videos before.
Whatever it was, it's done. It's just a
matter of if we can rely on them.
The neighbors sounded pretty convincing
to me just the way they described it.
Come to the door. Let us talk to you.
Make sure everybody's okay. Do you mind
if I tell them we're going to boot the
door if they don't [ __ ] open it? All
right. I think we're heading. Listen,
we're about to v your [ __ ] door. So,
come out and talk to us right now. We
need to make sure the people inside are
okay. We're not leaving.
Got some attention, didn't they? You
need to open that door. We got about 14
cops out here ready to come inside.
Everybody's fine. Open the door right
now.
That was [ __ ] funny.
Get the dog inside.
That's probably secure the dog. You're
all right, buddy.
Open the door.
You're running out of time. This is
getting ready to happen. Open the door.
Little donkey kick.
I'm ready. Got a little open the door.
about a minute. We're going to kick
it. Giving you every opportunity to come
open this door. Will you go ahead and
grab the ramp so we have it ready?
We don't need a warrant. Open the door.
Everybody here. We're not taking your
word for it. Open the
door. Show your face. Let's go.
We got to make sure there isn't somebody
else in there that's dead and can't
talk. We're coming in. So, Ram's here.
Yeah, we're not we're not getting a
warrant. We're coming in. So, right on
S8 Mini. Okay. Well, you're about to
find out. We don't have to have a
warrant.
You want me on that?
There's no sense of putting more stuff
in front of the door.
Okay.
I told you we're not getting it warm.
We're about to come in.
You can keep saying that. Why? We
already explained to you what we need to
do.
If you look through
Yeah. Columbus police, open the door.
We're coming
in. Columbus police, this is your last
chance. Open the door. We're going to
force
entry. Coming in. We need to see your
hands when we come in.
All righty. So, at this point in the
video, I'm I bet you're wondering why
are these officers having such a hard
time getting through this door? Well,
this particular door is barricaded. If
you've seen those old school kind of
castle barricades where they've got a
bracket on either side of the door and
then a big piece of wood in the middle,
that's what these people did to the back
door of this house. and then they pushed
a refrigerator and a stove up against it
trying to prevent us from entering the
home. Um, that's why it takes two
officers a bunch of effort and about a
minute and a half to get through this.
Take a break. Take a break,
Nick. Oh, here we go.
Back up. Back up.
Police. All right. So, now that the
officers have entered the home, uh, now
they go into search mode. They're
looking for suspects, but they're also
looking for anybody that might be in the
house. Anyone that's in the house must
be removed from that house before they
can continue on with their search. And
that's what's going to happen now.
Police Department. Show your hands now.
Tell us where you're at.
Come out with your hands up. In the
basement. Come out here with your hands

Ridiculous. Yeah. Be hiding behind a

we're coming in.
So, they searched the entire house. They
pulled a bunch of women out of the
downstairs. They got upstairs and we now
have our suspect and our alleged victim
in this bedroom. That's who we have
right here. Um, the next part of the
video you're going to see is actually me
going and talking to the alleged victim
about what happened and determining
whether or not we actually have a case
of an assault that was happening in a
bedroom.
Sorry, the lights are off in
here. Must be
broken or something. What's that? My
lights are on me. No, usually we turn
the lights on. Let's back here, but it's
not
working. Just being That's okay. So,
it's probably easier for you. Do you
have any idea why we're here? Huh? Do
you have any idea why we're out here
today? No, I'm still in because I have
no idea. Okay. People reported some
screaming coming from that side of the
house this morning. No scaring. No, they
did this like two or three times
already. Like there's no there's no ice
cream from now. No, I know for a fact I
was sleeping. I woke up and got ice
cream. I would have woke up. Okay. Where
were you sleeping? Upstairs.
Upstairs front bedroom when you were
asleep? Yes. Was anyone in the room with
you? My fiance. Okay. Were you guys both
asleep? Yes. Nobody doing out there? No.
Nothing. That's why I said asked for
mail. Like there's no I don't know any
mail that was there. Is he the only one
that was in the house? No, I was sleep.
I heard I think I heard a guy
downstairs. I'm not sure. Okay. Cuz
somebody was talking to us through a
window. I'm just not sure who it was.
The person I saw was talking with was a
girl. We heard a man and a woman.
It might have been trying to Okay.
There's nobody. I mean, nobody died.
There's no
Okay. Well, we just we're trying to make
sure somebody wasn't being attacked in
the house. No, I swear. Okay. Well, we
we'll be It could be me crying or
something like But that'll be hurt. Like
why would you have been crying? Cuz like
me and him um I don't think that's the
case though cuz that was just like just
like fighting, you know what I mean?
Like not not fighting physically when
not even arguing. It was me by myself
like kind of upset before he came up and
and me but I was just like can you tell
me why you were upset? Just seeing it
with another girl and stuff. But we
weren't even fighting about that. Like
we really weren't screaming or anything.
Like I was by myself and I cried. But I
was not booing that loud and I know our
walls are so big in the house and they
scream and shout all the time and we
know that they're screaming and shouting
and they yell help and all that. I think
a dog is on you know like I walls are so
you can literally hear people walking
upstairs. It sounds like they're walking
up our stairs. Okay. Like our they know
our walls are so I don't know why they
can't um I think that they're honestly
they're doing it on purpose. They just
keep going. So legitimate question you
were crying. I understand that. Yeah.
Did you kind of put your face in your
pillow maybe so that you wouldn't cry
loud or you're crying in your hands or
No. Did your boyfriend come up and give
you a hug and try to tell you
everything's going to be okay? No. I
mean, I just cried like I mean I know I
cried cuz I cried a little bit like it
wasn't I mean not that would be
embarrassed if I was crying that
loud just like oh so yeah. I mean if you
guys are I cried myself to sleep. That's
it. Okay. And then I I woke up inside of
me and you guys were begging me to do
it. So, you hadn't been asleep for very
long before we started banging on the
door. Not for a single amount of time.
Okay. All right. Well, hang tight for a
minute. I'm going to close the door,
walk around, talk to everyone that I
can. And I didn't know I can't just walk
down to open the door. Everybody's in
there. Like, I would have opened the
door myself if not, you know what I
mean? Like, I They would have literally
later on I would found that or something
because that's not my house. I can't
just open the door. You know what I
mean? Well, it's a sign that you should
be in that house. I know. That's what I
said, too. Like, they're not going to be
out. You have to Yeah. Mhm. Or else
stupid cuz you know what goes on in that
house, right? I mean, I just Yeah, it's
[ __ ] I don't know. But that's what
why I can't open the door, you know?
Like I'm not We're not Who's who runs
the house?
White dude, black dude. Um I don't know
what to talk about. I guess they're not
there anymore. They're no longer there.
They're never here. No, they're not
there anymore. They're done. This place
is done. But everyone just crouches here
pretty much. I mean, the person who's uh
faced in doesn't mine, so she's not
here. She's not.
Okay. All right. Hang tight for a
minute.
All right. So, at the end of the day,
what did we actually have? We didn't
really have much. Um, we were called
because we were told that there's a
woman being assaulted in a bedroom. When
we found the woman, she said that she
wasn't being assaulted. She didn't want
any help. We don't have a victim. We
don't have a crime. Uh the only thing
that left us with is we did have a lot
of people that were legally detained. Uh
that we were we had the legal authority
to detain everybody was that was in that
house due to the circumstances of that
call. All of those people got run for
warrants. I believe one or two one or
two of them did have warrants. So they
ended up going to jail on on those. Uh
the next thing that we had to do was get
a hold of the landlord and determine
whether or not anybody was allowed to be
there. Uh if there were if there was not
supposed to be anyone there, the
landlord would then have to respond to
scene and um and trespass those people,
say, "Look, this is my place. You guys
broke in. You're not allowed to be here.
You know, we can look at charging them
with trespassing, burglary, any of those
kinds of things." To my knowledge, I
don't believe we were able to get a hold
of the landlord in this case. So, what
we did is our we put our strongest um uh
we did our best to persuade these people
to leave this house and never come back.
So, I know that I personally escorted a
couple of those females in to get their
clothes and their purses and things. Um
escorted them out of the house and said,
"Listen, you don't live here. Go find
someplace else to be." Um and then we
left. I don't know if there was any
further problems in that house uh in the
near future after that. It's not really
something that was of my concern. But
that was everything in the video. Uh,
thank you for watching. I'll talk to you
guys later.
