They'll and then they'll probably let her go. I could It meets the elements for assault causing bodily injury family violence. If I charge her with that, I have to do an EPO on you, which means she can't come back here. I don't want to do that. I don't want to split you all up. I just want to get her get her out of here for the night. So >> Since it's family violence, he doesn't have to have you to press charges. >> Yeah. It's >> It's It's the state. I don't want that. >> All I need >> What I'm saying though, they'll They're going to let her go. >> Yeah, after like 4 hours they're just going to >> Yeah, this is over. >> Yeah, they're they're going to they're going to put her in in one of the drunk tanks.

You leave you going to jail. >> Yeah, that's another thing. This way it keeps her from walking out in the street. >> It hurt. >> Even after the arrest gets messy, the officers aren't trying to add to it. They're collecting what they need, explaining the decision, and leaving the rest alone. >> Hey, that's my money. Hey, what? What am I going to jail for? What am I going to jail for? What am I going to jail for? What am I going to jail for? What am I going to jail for? Oh my god, what am I going to jail for? What am I going to jail for? >> [laughter] >> Please, God. Oh my god.

She's been in that car the whole time they were explaining it to Michael. >> Does she have an ID in the house that I can bring with her? >> Yeah, and she's got some money, but >> Okay. >> She needs her money, I don't think. >> I mean she's probably only going to be in there for a few hours, and if they take her money if she takes her money up there with her, they're going to put it on a little debit card. And when she gets released, they'll give her the debit card, they won't give her the cash back. They're going to put it on her books. >> Yeah, so they won't give it to me. I'll take care of it. >> Okay. All right. And then I've just got to get a picture of your face. What's What's the phone number for you? Are you You already >> 558 >> I got you. >> So we didn't charge her nothing. >> It's It isn't technically a charge, it's a Class C. It's the lowest level, it's just a ticket. So I mean real Really what I'm doing is getting her away just because of how drunk she is. >> Exactly. >> Um >> to prevent the furthering of the violence. >> If she did this sober, this would be a much higher charge. >> Right. >> Um but I don't want to get involved with EPOs or anything. I don't want to split I don't want to split her up from her baby or from you or anything like that. I know she's just absolutely plastered right now. >> Right. Right. >> And that's why she's doing it. Yeah. And I'd rather I'd rather just get her out get her out of the house for the night. Honestly, didn't even want to take her, but >> Yeah. >> knowing everything that's happened tonight, I know if I just say, "Hey, let's just go back to bed." we'll be back here in another 30 minutes. So. >> Appreciate you. >> I know. I got to take a picture of that scratch there. More. All All Uh does she You have her ID in there? Let's >> grab that. Okay. Was she wearing shoes? Does she have some sandals or something? I mean they're going to give her sandals at the jail, but Technically we can charge her with resisting if you want to. But I'm not going down that road. Up where? Yeah. >> [snorts] >> And Like I was just telling him I could explain it to her but it'll go one in one ear and out the other for her cuz she's so drunk. We could technically charge her with uh resisting arrest right now. Because we had to we had to drag her into the car. I don't want to do that. But she Hopefully tomorrow she'll understand that this could have been much bigger. >> He's not arresting Devon because the law requires [music] it. He's arresting her because if he doesn't, she walks out drunk at 3:00 in the morning with nowhere to go. >> I'll [snorts] have to do an arrest type of David but I won't have to do I won't have to do it I won't have to do a case packet. Thank you. >> And you can look there if she had multiple PIs and all >> Yeah. Not that not that it'll make any difference tonight. >> So that's the main thing. Just get her sober and this and that. >> So we gave her so many chances today. She just kept pushing her luck. That's really the only reason I'm taking her. It's not because we'll be back here in 30 minutes if I don't. Oh yeah, we've been sitting around the corner waiting. So >> So they called you? >> Yeah, they called us. Yeah. >> So tired. I appreciate you. What I was going to say yeah, so it ain't There's to be no charge. This is a classy ticket. >> So it's just >> Class C. >> She's just going to jail instead of just getting a ticket. >> Yeah. >> She would have had to pay a fine with the ticket. >> Yeah. >> As she would a normal like like a traffic ticket. >> Yeah. >> This this way it's a family violence Class C. So it's >> So she she's being she's being removed to prevent further violence and because she's so intoxicated. >> Right. >> Since it's a family violence thing, it allows him to take her to jail on a ticket. >> Right. >> To keep that separation. >> Okay. >> Yeah, he's to prevent further violence. >> All right. >> So >> Y'all got to take her to the toilet? >> Yeah. So I'm going to start heading up that way right now. Do you have any other questions for me? >> That's it. I'm trying to get some rest. You take care of her and you know >> Yeah. >> I'll see about her tomorrow sometime. When do you think she'll be out? >> In the afternoon. I don't know. Probably not even that long. I mean, I think maybe maybe what? 4 or 5 hours? >> Yeah. That long enough for her to sober up? >> Once Once she's sober up, they're Once she's sober, they're going to start the book out process, I'm sure. >> They didn't drive off. They sat around the corner waiting to get called back. >> Devon, are you going to be cool if he says goodbye to you? >> Huh? >> You know I love you. >> No, I >> I AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO >> I DIDN'T I DIDN'T do anything to him. >> but I'm not the >> to him.
