Okay. >> And he he got really feisty with us back there and started getting his face. He was just, you know, probably trying to be nice and make him happy, >> right? >> And he just shut him down. So that's when I came running around. >> Okay. >> Away from >> And that's when you pushed him away. >> Yeah. >> I He took a swing at you. >> Yes. >> Okay. So I'm I'm the daughter. I'm sitting right there in that. >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> Mhm. >> And I look over and him and his girlfriend are in this cart here. >> Okay. So they're in a cart right >> right there. >> Right in front of that pond. And Ralph, I don't know what was said. I was told that there was a complaint because they were really slow and had open holes in front of me. >> People had complained. So Ralph over there asked him to please try and speed it up. >> Okay. >> And exactly what he said I did not hear. >> Mhm. >> But Ralph is standing next to the cart and all of a sudden this kid comes out of the cart and knocks Ralph to the ground. I mean he just knocked the [ __ ] out. >> So basically Ralph asked him, "Hey, move along." >> Yeah. Yeah. Right. You're holding up people >> both arms and just knock to the ground. Ralph to the ground. He I thought he hit his head on the concrete, but he said he's okay. >> So So if So was was he was the the younger gentleman is he the passenger or driver? >> He was the passenger. The car was facing. >> So he's here sitting in the car. Well, facing the other way. >> Yeah. >> So where was Ralph when he first was standing right next to him? >> Okay. So >> just so I can So kids, let's say >> in the past Ralph standing right here. Would you say >> two feet away, a foot away, five feet away? >> A foot away from the car. >> A foot away. Okay. >> All right. But you don't hear what the conversation is. You just see him step out. >> Jump out of the car and just knock Ralph around. Then he stood over him. >> Kick your mother. >> Okay. >> And And Scott, who's a ranger over there, >> came running over to try and grab the kid. >> Scott came to grab him. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. And when Scott went to put his arms around, the kid took a swing, hit Scott in the side of the head. >> Okay. >> Right next to >> Now, at any point did you see the kid get knocked to the ground? >> No, he did not ever get knocked to the ground. >> Okay. So, at no point >> backed up and fell. >> Okay. >> Into the grass and then jumped back up again. >> Okay. So, >> because there were four people who tried to hold him. >> Okay. So, he backs up into the grass when they're trying to hold him. He backs up in the grass. >> Yeah. They were by that time. They're over here. >> Okay. So, a couple of people are trying to hold him. keeper and getting all back on >> and he's just coming and coming and coming. >> Okay. So, they're holding it from getting back at Ralph, >> right? >> Is that what he's saying? Okay. >> And Scott, he was trying to hit Scott again, too. >> Okay. >> I was talking about he's just learning the game and somebody said something to him, >> right? Okay. >> You know, and by the time I got over here, his girlfriend's trying to pull him away. The four other guys are trying to pull him away. >> Eventually, she got him back to the car. >> Okay. And then I noticed the empty liquor bottles in the in the cart. >> Okay. >> So, I know he had at least three of those mini bottles. >> What else he may have had, I have no idea. >> You're going to be here for a little bit? >> I'm going to be here till 5:00. >> Okay. I'm going to go talk to the deputy, talking to them, and one of us will get back with you. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. >> Did she witness anything? >> Oh, yeah. She witnessed the whole thing. She flipped >> basically. He he basically admitted that he was aggressor that the guy came up like, "Hey, you got to you guys got to go faster. Go faster. People are waiting behind you." >> He gets out of the golf cart. He's like after a verbal argument, steps out, doesn't try to retreat or leave, pushes the guy, guy falls to the ground, hurts himself. He's standing on top of him, which the second guy then comes, either hits him in the mouth, pushes him, whatever happens, causes him to bleed in the mouth. Then verballation, not being physical after that point. Oh, so this guy's bleeding in the mouth also. >> Yeah, >> there's a camera. >> There's a camera on the back. >> I talked to the other gentleman over there in the range, the starter. >> So, basically, he says he sees they're parked right about where that golf cart is right there. >> Um, he sees Ralph get up next to the kid. Kids in the passenger seat. There's an exchange. He doesn't hear anything. Next thing he knows, the kid gets out of the car, pushes Ralph to the ground. Um, another guy, Scott, comes over to grab the kid off of Ralph because he's standing over him going, "Yep." >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> He grabs him. The kid hits Scott. Scott's grabbing him. Backs up. Four other guys come off the range and try to grab the kid from stopping. They said he backs. The kid stumbles back, falls down, gets back up. They grab him again because he's still trying to go after the kid. And all all along his girlfriend's trying to get him off also and get to the car. They also said in the car there was three or four little liquor bottles. >> Yeah, he said he was he said he's been drinking. >> So, but there is a camera and it should have caught it. >> So, the other people were saying why was on top of the guy stood over and said I'm going to I'm going to kick your be. >> Oh, okay. Yep. We'll get you out of a second. So, so the >> the guy that hit Aaron or is Aaron just in the fall for this? Because technically he didn't hit the guy that >> he didn't push the guy that hit Aaron. >> So that guy's that guy falls under self-defense because then he's defending the the guy who's on the ground. Aaron's on top of him. >> Even but he wasn't on top of him when he hit him. >> So basically what will happen is there's a camera back there that we're going to get the footage from. >> Yeah. >> If the we send it to the which is the district attorney. I don't know if you know what that is. >> Yeah. >> And basically, they'll make the decision on if >> if it's self-defense or not or if they want to charge this third guy who get Okay. >> Cuz I had him like the other guy had him in his hands before the guy laid hands on him, >> right? >> So, I don't really know how that's self-defense on that guy's end. >> So, that's that's what that's what we need to pay for and stuff like that. And then if that's the case, then they'll probably press charges on on that side. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Okay. Thank you. Yep. >> No, I just been checking some of the series today. Just trying to get caught up >> and they want fresh charges. >> Yeah. >> Five boss. >> So hot in here. >> Yeah. Trying to >> just um So this is what's going on. So I get why you you want to get him out of your space, right? The my the like I said, the only issue is once he's out of here, and I'm not asking any questions or anything like that, okay? So, I would have to reason at that point. >> Um, the only question is basically or the basically this is what it comes down to. Once you stepped out of the golf cart when you confronted him, that was your chance to walk away. Okay? Once you're in the golf cart and he confronted you like that, that's when you could have pushed him and then went from there. Okay? >> So, >> but once you stepped out of the golf cart, pushed him, and then stood on top of him, that's what makes you the aggressor at that point. Okay? Because you had ample opportunity. That's still the same. >> So batteries, anything intentional to touch someone grabs your arm or anything like that. It's just a state. >> My question is what can I do with the other guy? Cuz >> the other guy So >> I'm going to press charges on him if he's going to press. >> So I just told your girlfriend the same thing. So the other guy separate from this guy. The other guy is going to be that's going to be up to which is the district attorney. Okay. Because they're alleging that it happened >> when you were standing over the top of the guy and you're and she you and her are alleging that it was when you were pulled away from him and that he attacked you. Okay. >> So, like I said, we don't have consistent stories on it cuz they're >> aiming two on that side and two on that side. Okay. So, that will end up being in the video and if the SAO wants to press charges on it, then that's what they'll do. Okay. >> All right. >> So, then I can press charge on him then >> at that time >> and they're going to prevail or provide the video >> and they can't mess with it. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> So, we're trying to get the video right now. >> No, that's fine. I'm just sweating my balls back here. That's it. So, I'll I'll crank this up for you to see if I can get more air. >> I know my dad's going to be coming here in a white uh Rogue Nissan Rogue. >> Okay. >> Cuz she called him. >> That look like >> beard. >> That's him right there. >> Perfect. >> Yep. And he's going to be pissed. But not at you guys. He's going to be pissing me. >> I'll let him know. I don't know if you guys are getting trespassed. I got to talk to him. >> Wait, how can I get trespassed if I can't leave? >> So, you're it's a private private business. So, they can trespass you for future dates. That's all. >> Oh, yeah. That's >> Hey, how you doing? >> Good. Deputy Smith, Miss. >> So, basically what happened was they're on the golf cart. They're confronting them because they're saying they're taking too long on the courses. They're about to leave. He said a few words to him. >> Oh, yeah. He said a lot to me. >> What did he say to you after >> you? Um just whatever else he could curse and >> you want to go, let's go. >> Yeah. You want to go, let's go. And >> Okay. >> Um so, >> and that's after he hit you. >> Yeah. >> All right. And I was I kind of was chasing him over to his car to getting him out of here. >> Okay. >> And there. So, and then I put a golf cart behind it. >> Okay. >> All right. >> He's pointing at the camera. >> You're going to be You got to be kidding me. >> Is that going to go too far? >> See the cursor? That's the golf cart. I'm going to bet you money. That's the golf cart. Just out of range. Yep. Just out of range. >> Just out of range. >> Yeah. You can see this >> cuz I I I saw one of your right there pointing the camera like we got a camera. >> It's just right out of range. >> 108. >> Yeah. There there's >> Oh, there's me talking. >> There's you talking to him, but their cart would just just right a little bit past the camera. You see the shadows of them talking. >> No, no, no, no. They're not even They're not even in the altercation yet. >> I think it's earlier than this. >> Yeah, it' be earlier >> because that was me here. >> Yeah. Have to back up. >> That could be their card there. I don't know. >> Okay, here we go. >> Is it happening? >> Yeah. Ralph's talking to him. He's asking him. >> Oh, there it is. Wow. Oh, he's just talking to him. just went off. >> Look at she's pushing him away. Then here comes the other guy. He's running over >> and it's Scott's running. That's Scott. >> Wow. >> Well, we see that he went after him. But he was defended his coworker. >> And now they're on camera. >> That looks bad. >> That looks That doesn't look good on me. It doesn't appear that he's being threatening to standing by. Yeah, Ralph was just standing there talking to him and the kid came and pushed him. But then when everybody ran over, >> I will talk to the other officer real quick. >> You got all that? >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, doesn't look good for the other guy. So, this one's clear as day. But he gets away. You can see it, right? Yep. >> Other guy comes over. Okay. >> Is that Michael Lee? >> Michael Lee. Who's Michael? >> I don't know who was here. >> Oh. So >> So that's Ralph who got pushed. >> That's Ralph that got pushed. The second guy is Scott. >> So it's the Scott who pushes. >> Yeah. The one that had the mark on his head. >> Okay. >> So I mean we hit him on. I was like clear right there. Uh I guess I'm going to give Sergeant a heads up and then um yeah in the same car I know. Let me let give Sergeant a heads up so he knows what's going on. So that won't stop. >> Let me just answer >> before you say anything. Let me just let Sergeant. All right. >> How do I get these in front of me? I'm being nice. >> Okay. piss off. >> Get a picture of my scratch. >> All right. Ready? >> I guess. >> Uh, today's is 4:18, 2025. Time is now about 3 >> 4:03 >> 4:03 p.m. Uh, this is reference to the the Cove battery that occurred after a battery occurred at 12455 South Access Road, Englewood, Florida with Aaron and a Scott. Um Aaron is currently in custody due to the battery that we are arresting him for. A battery that happened to him happened after he was pulled away and a older gentleman handed him. We will be taking a sworn statement/ Miranda writes from Aaron at this time. He is unable to raise his right hand. He has admitted to being intoxicated and I am going to describe to him what perjury is. Perjury is is telling an outright lie or knowingly leaving all all or part of the truth in order to deceive or mislead the investigation. Okay? >> And that's what I did. >> Okay? So, you don't have to raise your right hand. Can I read your Miranda? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can't be used against you in court of law. Get my card back. Um, do you understand these rights I've explained to you? >> I don't have the answer right. >> Do you understand these rights I've explained to you? I'd like to speak with my attorney. >> Okay. So, this is regarding the battery from the other guy that hit you. >> But you said I hit him. >> You're in custody. So, I have to read you Miranda versus a statement affidavit. >> I just still don't understand. >> The guy who hit you is a separate incident from the guy that >> But why am I in custody? He's >> cuz yours is a felony because he's older than 65. In the state of Florida, they ups it to a felony. I still get hit by someone else. It's the same thing. >> Do you want to talk to me and give me a statement about the situation or not? I can let him go. It doesn't matter. >> Talk to an attorney. >> Talk to So, this is what's going on. So, we're trying to press charges on this guy. He has to give me a sworn statement, but I have to read him his Miranda rightites to tell me what happened. We already have the video. We've seen what happened. He's being charged on his battery. The only reason that he's going in cuffs is because the guy was older than 65, which in the state of Florida, that makes it a felony. The guy, this guy is getting charged with a misdemeanor battery against him. >> He's just not going in cuffs because it's a misdemeanor cuz he is not over 65. >> He has to go. >> He's still getting arrested. It's just a ticket instead of >> He's not going. >> It's a misdemeanor ticket. I'm still an arrest. >> I got to go and deal with this [ __ ] for 4 hours and then go home. >> Well, do you want to give me a statement or not? I'm trying to You want to charge it, guys? >> Just do it. Well, what was the other part about me? Supposedly you lying or whatever. >> That's perjury. I'm telling you. >> I don't know what perjury is. >> That's why I explained it to you. Drinking. I can't explain to you what I don't know. >> Like there's a whole video. >> So, let me tell you guys. >> Yes. I'm trying to be nice to you, but I'm getting pissed off because I don't remember everything. I'm trying to >> So, you say that that's your ability. I already know what happened. >> I'm still being accused of lying. Okay. >> Is that right? >> I'm being accused of not being accused of lying. >> So, then what's perjury? Me being accused of lying. >> No, it's not. What are you talking about? I >> surgery is telling lie or knowingly leaving all out part or all the truth in order to deceive or mislead the investigation. >> But if that is telling you what perjury is Aaron, stop. >> No, I'm getting pissed. >> So, I don't care. I will not charge him. I really do not care. Do you understand? I can. >> I'm not talking. >> Do you want to give me a statement or not? I'm not playing this game with you. >> Sure. Sure. >> It's not going to work in my favor anyway. >> It is. We're charging him. He's being charged. But it's just making me mad while I'm in cuff sitting here uncomfortable when he's sitting in an air conditioned room. >> You hit an older gentleman. >> I didn't hit him. I pushed him. If I hit him, then I would like to know that I hit him and I'll shut the up. >> They're going to show you the They're going to show the video. >> Can I see the video, please? And I will be as I'll shake your hand. I'll be as straight as an arrow with you. >> Your dad's going to watch video and he can and he and he can verify. >> Why can't I watch it? >> Cuz we don't need to show you. We're not going to show you that. >> And that's why people hate cops. And I'm trying to be fair with you guys. I respect what you guys do. >> So, I want to charge the guy for you so that we can give you justice. All I need you to just tell me. >> Okay. But I don't remember what I remember. >> You just got to tell me what you do. >> And I told you I'm being accused of perjury. >> Whatever the hell perjury is. I said the same thing to her. >> I I said it, too. >> I had to say the same thing to her. >> Okay. So, listen. >> What is Let me go read over this. >> You're not lying. Perjury is telling an outright lie knowingly leaving out part or or part or all the truth in order to deceive or mislead the investigation. That is just telling you what it is. Okay. That's just a definition. >> Okay. Well, to me that means you're me that I'm lies. >> You say that to everybody you said to everybody. Sure.

The only difference between >> I was on the course on the back 18 back nine front nine end of the course. Okay. Last hole, you know. It was me, her, a guy, his son, and another girl. Three different carts. We were coming down back side of the course, you know. We were all We're all We all suck at golf. We were having fun. We all paid. So, in my eyes, if I pay to be here, I can in theory take my time in golf and learn how to play. I am a beginner. >> If I'm going to say everyone else, we were all beginners. No one was good. No one hit the ball over 20 yards. >> Okay. So, at the very end, two gentlemen, I don't know if it was the one I pushed. I don't know if it was not the one I pushed or hit. Either or. I don't know. They came up the backside and said, "Hey, >> can you guys try and speed it up a little bit?" And I straight up said, "Okay, >> were you this good when you first started golfing?" >> Cuz no one's good at anything until you learn it. You didn't know how to be a cop until you took classes and learned it. I didn't know how to be >> Never mind. Anyway, so I said that and I said, "We're just trying to learn. We're having fun. We pay to be here." So, whatever else I said, I don't remember. I'm trying to be as honest as I can. So, we come up to the clubhouse and I said to her, I said, "Let's go with that girl." We didn't pay for it. >> Yes. But we never went. So, it's a if what if? And the guy came over and he said, "Hey, can I see your receipt for I don't I don't want to put words in your mouth. Whatever you paid for and I think I said we only paid for nine this we're leaving." And then that's when he walked up on me. There might have been I don't know. Don't remember. He walked up. I felt threatened cuz I'm with her. No one I don't let no one touch her. He came up. I pushed him. He fell. I was being a dumb and I stood over top of him. I'm a idiot. And then I either got pushed, hit or something. And then I got back up and I tried swinging and I think I missed him. I don't know if I hit him. I don't know if I hit missed him. >> I felt blood. I was spitting it out. It's on my shirt. I'm scratched up. So, I'm assuming something happened. So, that is all that I know. And now I'm sitting in a hot sweat. All I got. >> Could you identify the gentleman who hit you? >> Older guy with a hat on. I think I don't even know if he had anything to hand. >> I think he had a hat. He might have. I don't think he had glasses. I think he had a bald head. I I don't know. The guy pushed. He had a hat on. He fell. His hat came off. ahead, but there was another one that came over and that was the one that swung, launched, hit. I hit him. Don't know. >> Where did And where'd he get? >> I'm assuming my mouth face somewhere because I You don't just bleed to bleed. >> And that's one of your injuries. There's a cut to your mouth bleeding. >> I'm assuming a cut to my mouth because I had blood on me to prove it. >> And then I got back up and I went after him. And then I don't know if I hit him. I don't know if I didn't. Had him. A gentleman pulled me off. Okay. >> He was wearing a blue shirt. He walked me in the car and I tried getting past him and he wouldn't let me.

Is there anything you wish to add, delete or subtract from the state you just told me? >> What? >> Add you. Anything you wish to add, subtract, or delete from the state? >> I just wish I knew what I I wish I knew everything made by I don't get to see the video. They get to see a video. It's usually done. >> No, I think they just wish in front of me cuz they >> when they came up to us to hurry up and >> that's an statement. Time is now 4:13. He didn't say anything. >> But I think and then we stopped at 1 and that's when he asked us for our thing because I think the guy told him we only paid for 9 or something. I'm like we only paid for 9. We're leaving. Like we're going. >> So see that that's where everything started but then we're leaving. M >> that's what I'm trying to say, >> right? >> And you know, I can't talk to him. I only hurt a little bit. >> I was >> And like I said, >> and like I said, 100% what you're saying, especially if they do that, whatever the possible, even if they're not positive, you would think that's the you're not going to push somebody as they're leaving. >> That's what I would think. And it was like a group of them coming after us when we I finally me and this guy got him to the car and there was a group of people coming after us. I'm like what? Why >> of our CAD kind of gives us a little little storytelling of everything that occurred from when it happened there basically come to the parking lot. So we'll also get a recording of the 911 tape also that be added to the case also. So that'll be all shown uh what was going on during that time period. Okay. >> All right. Sounds good.

I might have pushed him, but I didn't. >> I'll have you come outside. >> So, Scott, I'm going to tell you like this. We have enough evidence to charge you with battery. You have one of two decisions. You make a confession and you go around the route of an arrest preverse the adult prereversion program. It's a short program where you attend a class in Port Charlotte. You pay a small, you may pay a fine, you may not. And then it's maybe a a couple day course where you might do community service, you might not. And as soon as you're done, this is expuned from your record and it basically keeps you from having a record. That's why we have this. Or it's I arrest you right now and I take you down to Charlotte County Jail to where you have to go down there. >> No, I don't want to go to Charlotte County Jail. >> So, do you want to revise your statement? >> Revise my statement as of what? as to saying whether you struck the juven I keep on saying it. My bad. Struck the general. >> No, I never got my hands on. >> We Okay. >> I I was going back there to look. She said all she saw was me running >> towards that way. >> Okay. We saw >> and then people got in front of me. He hit me and then I was still trying to chase him away cuz he kept still coming. >> I got video of you being aggressive when it came to him. Yes, he did push down the first gentleman, which he is getting charged with that. Um, then afterwards, he's already off the guy being held by his girlfriend. You run over and you throw a punch at him. >> I did not throw a punch at him. >> I saw I got the video. >> You think I'm lying right now? >> Well, after I get hit in the face. >> No, no, no. >> And I work here. >> You It's fine if you work here. But >> he hit me first. I did not hit him. >> He already gave you the option. What? What are we doing? >> I'll take the option. >> What? What are we doing? >> So, do you wish to revise your statement? >> What? that I hit him. >> Yes, cuz you said you already said you touched him, so you pushed him. So that's technically battering enough as is. So you battered him at one point in time, correct? By shoving him. >> Yeah, I was trying to get him down if you ran. >> All right. So what you need to do before next Wednesday is you need to contact this phone number. Okay. It's to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, the justice center that we have. It's on East Marian. I guess they moved it down to Pontagora. You just contact him. He'll get in touch with you about the program and what you need to do. >> Okay. >> Okay. Get in touch with him before Wednesday. If not, then we're going to have to put an open tribal cause name for you, which is basically a warrant to be arrested for battery. >> We don't exactly. We don't want >> Trying to protect my 80-year-old friend. >> Okay. >> So, this is your copy. All I need is a signature right down here. >> Is that admitting guilt? >> It's a signature admitting guilt >> for battering. Yes. It means that you did. You shot him. Just having enough is battery.
