I'm not sure what he was on, but he was the complete different person than he usually was. I got home pretty late from work and I just ended up going straight to bed. He just like kept showing up in my room. I woke up before on top of me. Not like naked or anything, but like on top of me. >> There's a mark on her neck. Wasn't there last night, so how I had nutrition? >> I don't know if there's anything there.

So, obviously, I lock the doors, but I am. He doesn't have a key to get inside, but I am about to drive our kids to school. I was just going to lock up the house. He's just been banging on the door. I keep coming to check. >> You just want to get Sir, you said you you want to get your phone >> if Yeah, you can totally with with him standing right here. if you could go grab your phone so I know that you're coming right back out. >> Uh, do you mind if I come in? >> Yeah, no problem. >> According to her, he entered her room in the middle of the night, something he wasn't supposed to do.

I don't know where it's coming from, but you have this phone. So, why don't we go to a friend's charge this phone? >> How about we deal with this another day? You have another phone.

So, he was going to help out. Last night he was here. I'm not sure what he was on, but he was the complete different person than he usually was. I got home pretty late from work and I just ended up going straight to bed. >> We have a very strict rule of like him not coming in my room. When he was staying here, he just like kept showing up in my room. I woke up at 4:00 a.m. with him on top of me. Not like naked or anything, but like on top of me. Um, and basically since 4:00 a.m. I've been begging him to get out. >> The man confirmed it. He said they used to live there together, but had an issue last year. She admitted to spitting in his face, not out of anger, but because she didn't know what else to do. That's when he got even more aggressive. >> When did you get out of here? >> Uh, we divorced from him last I think August. >> August. Last year. >> Okay. Yeah. Here, we're going to step out and then we're going to talk a little more out here. >> This guy trying to go around cuz he's not a bad guy. He's just not sober right now.

[clears throat] >> In the living room. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I did I I didn't physically touch him. I did his face, which is disgusting. I know that is the most horrible thing, but I wouldn't hit someone back. And so, that's what I did. um and physically touch him back, but I did do that and that made him more mad, which is where that came from. Once I was kind of on the floor and I didn't have control, I spit and that's what made him >> Okay. So, he pushed you, then you spit on him. Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. I didn't have hands and I didn't know what to do, so I spit. >> Okay. >> According to him, nothing physical happened between them, but they needed to understand what really happened the night before. >> So, you you got family here? You say you take care of your mom in Atlanta.

Is it just this backpack and the phone that you can't find? >> Yes, sir. Like I I have my own drawers and everything. >> Okay, I got you. So what was it July or August that you moved back in? I guess it'd be like late July or early August more or less. >> Okay. So, what happened this morning? Cuz I mean, hear the kids what the kids are saying. Was anybody else here last night? >> No, nobody else was here last. >> Was anybody else here this morning? >> No. >> Okay. >> So, what happened this morning? >> So, literally uh I wake up every morning and I get I get the girls ready for bed. I mean, for school. Like I I usually walk them and I'm trying to figure out where Hey, quick because I don't know. >> I'm [clears throat] sorry. I don't want to interrupt. Should I have my mom take my kids to school? >> If you'd like to do that. Sure. >> Yeah. You're you're just coming going and coming back. >> Yeah. >> That'd be fine. >> Yeah. So, you were telling us what happened this morning? >> Yeah. My apologies. So, literally, I'm um we wake the girls up and waking them up is a lot easier today than it was yesterday. And I don't I I swear I don't know if she had some kind of builtup hostility from yesterday, but like even yesterday she was giving me mean look. >> Do you have a key to stay here? Get in and out. >> Uh sometimes it varies depending on how she feels. >> Okay. So right now you don't have a key. >> No, sir. >> And you've been here for maybe a week. A little bit more. >> Yeah. No, like a while. >> Okay. Like I don't She did kept giving me like crazy looks. Like I know she's like she's talking to somebody like So, I don't know. >> So, you want to know who she's dating? >> I don't, but I just want I just want to make sure >> you think you do to be honest with you. And >> I just want to make sure she's safe. >> Okay. So, what how does that relate to what happened last night then? >> No, I uh Oh, no. That's just what like I mean aside from her just like the occasional, you know, stink face. >> So, last night she just made faces at you. You done? No conversations? >> No. Like literally, I was >> anything physical between y'all last night? >> No. Oh, >> so she's telling me obviously a lot of a lot of reasons that she >> Oh, man. >> that we ended up here. >> Well, I think that you know, so I would like you to rewind. All right. I'm not trying not to hold it against you at all. >> No, of course. >> But I would like you to be more honest with me. All right. >> Sure. >> All right. Cuz I think that you did more than spill a drink inside that led to her >> feeling the way she's feeling. >> So, let's talk let's talk about >> from from last night to this morning what really happened. I'm I'm asking you to tell me what happened. Okay. I'm I'm here to get what happened from your perspective. Okay. Yeah. I'm not here to to tell you what she said. So, this morning she's calling us crying, right? Were you inside or outside when that happened? >> When she called y'all, I was definitely probably putting clothes in the washing machine. >> She probably called y'all from back there and I'm trying to do laundry. >> Okay. >> So, >> had you walked outside this morning and then came back in? >> Um, I usually walk outside like smoke a little cigarette like in the carport. >> Yeah. So this morning, did you walk outside and do that? >> Yeah. Yeah. From that door, I just like walked outside. This maybe a short cigarette. >> Did she lock you out? >> Oh, yeah. Actually, she did. Yes. >> Okay. Yeah. So, you didn't mention any of that before, so that's why I'm >> Oh, thank you. >> trying to understand. >> Yeah. Oh, yes, sir. No, she locked me out. >> That detail hadn't come up earlier, which made the situation even more confusing for the officers. >> Mind if we talk inside? >> You didn't mention that there was something else going on. Yeah. >> I guess it's because he was standing there. Is that is that why cuz you you initially told me you wanted him to just leave. Um so what happened like starting from because apparently something happened last night. >> Can you kind of so I >> you can sit down if you want if you feel more comfortable. >> When I got home he just like seemed very out of it and he's had addiction problems in the past. Um >> to why if you don't mind me asking. >> Xanax percoetses. Um he was in a pretty bad car wreck with our youngest >> last year and he was under the influence which is why we ended up getting >> divorced was and um why I immediately got full custody and we have very strict rules he is in my house about what he is and is not allowed to do and he's not allowed to drive then he's not allowed to take anything. So after I got home he just he wasn't like being physical or anything. He just seemed very out of it to the point that I was uncomfortable like we are not intimate or anything. He was trying to touch me and stuff. I was like I'm going to go to my room. I'm going to go to sleep. So I laid in bed with one of with my oldest in my room and um he was coming in my room every like 10 minutes. It was like like clockwork like just and I'm like begging him to please leave which we again have a very strict rule about him coming in my room which he usually respects. >> Um that's my space. I even had the door closed. That's when things got worse. She said he grabbed her with both hands and wrapped them around [music] her neck. She doesn't know if there are visible marks, but she could feel it. Her kids [music] saw everything. >> Um, at around 4:00 a.m. I was in a pretty deep sleep and around 4:00 a.m. I woke up and he I guess got in my bed and fell asleep on top of me. Um, >> so obviously just from that I was pretty pissed and woke up like screaming for him to get to the couch, which is where he normally sleeps or with the other kid in her room. I came out this morning at 6:00 a.m. and he's like sitting up like I walked up to like him sleeping and I guess he took one of the girls like little slushies and like a red slushie just like I was like that is I mean that's that's crazy. I was like you need to get up. You need to get the f out of my house. Leave now because I'm about to wake the girls up for school and I don't want them around. that kind of >> that's not what I do. And at that point, again, I don't know if there's marks where I can feel it. Kind of got two hands and >> I don't I don't know if there's anything there. He got two hands and kind of like wrapped them around my neck. >> Mhm. >> I don't know if there's anything. >> Um my kids were screaming, "Daddy, get off. Mommy." He finally got up and my oldest was like, "Seriously, get out of the house." And he ended up listening to her because he's he'll say no to me. he's not going to say no to her. Which is when I locked all the doors and finished getting ready for work. And that's when he was banging on the front door to get his phone for like maybe 5 minutes cuz y'all got here pretty quick after I hung up. >> I kept looking cuz I was trying to figure out if it was cops [music] or hand banging, but it was him until you until you walked. >> They asked him to explain how that happened. He admitted to grabbing around her during the incident, but insisted he didn't touch her neck, but officers had already heard enough. They placed him under arrest. My partner and I see a mark on her neck. All right. And I want you to explain that to me how that happened. >> May I see the mark? >> There's a mark on her neck. It wasn't there last night. So, how >> I def I didn't touch your neck. >> Okay. So, when you're describing wrapping around her, did she just stay like that and then you let her go? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Cuz >> did she slide out at all? Anything like that? And she slides. I go down with it. I just need to come down. >> Okay. Yeah. She's got scrape on her knee, which kind of makes sense with what you're saying. Where did What room did this happen in? The living room, the [music] kitchen, the bedrooms. >> Living room. Okay. >> Carpet. >> Yeah. Me a carpet burn or something. How do we explain that? >> The marks on her neck and what she says. >> She just got her nails done and so did the girls. I don't have nails. That's not a scratch. I don't think it's a scratch. >> What? Like, so wait, so what is it? Like if it's not scratched, then it's just like a little red mark. >> That's one way to describe it. Yeah. But that's that's what I'm saying. How can we how can we explain that? Right. >> May I? >> No. >> Okay. Like it's I don't have nails. >> Yeah. I understand that you don't have nails, >> but no. No. I would never choke her. >> Like literally, she came with me my self-defense always. >> I I swear to God, I won't put my my hands around her neck. That's my mother's that's the mother of my kids. >> Okay. You've been cooperative, man. Place under arrest. Put your hands back there. >> Okay. Well, may I uh >> both of your hands behind your back. >> May I go uh take mine my phone, please? >> Take her your phone. >> Yes, sir. >> Um it's going to go with you if it's with you right now. >> And again, I'm not here to judge you or anything. I just want people to be honest with me. >> And I'm And I'm being honest with you, right? Like I told you before. All right. >> We can we can talk more in a minute. Okay. We're just going to go to this car for now. I see you have medications. Do these bottles all have your name on them? Let me see. >> Okay. >> Put your chest up against there.

And it's going to end up being destroyed. >> After the man was taken into custody, officers made sure to go over the next steps with the woman involved. She had reported that the man put his hands around her neck. She said it lasted around 10 [music] seconds. >> Um, when he had his hands around your neck, how long do you think that lasted? It wasn't long. Um, but to be honest, I really don't know. Um, it was just kind of like, you know, when something like that happens, I like kind of like don't know time frames. >> Do you think it was like more than 5 seconds? >> I I was going to say 10 seconds. That was like that, but I'm not positively. >> Okay. Um, did you feel any changes in your body when that was happening? Anything with your vision or consciousness? >> No. >> Anything with your breathing? I mean, I couldn't I definitely couldn't breathe, but it wasn't long enough that I was like thought I was going to like die or pass out or anything like that. >> Okay. So, maybe around 10 seconds and you couldn't breathe for those 10 seconds. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And that happened all in the living room, right? >> Yeah. >> You know what was happening like right up to the point where he is charging you? Like did you say something? Did he say something? >> I was telling him I kept telling him over and over that he needed to just get out of my house like before the kids were even awake. >> Yeah. Um, >> were you like just telling him or were you yelling at him or anything like that? >> It started as telling him and then it got to a point that like I mean no I was screaming like get the out of my house. I'm not playing with you. Like get the out right now. Just cuz like I could tell that he was not in his right state of mind and I didn't want my kids to see that. >> What drugs has he been using that you know? >> In the past he's had addiction problems with um pain pills and anti-anxiety medication like Xanax. Mhm. >> Um, but I did notice when he was acting really funny last night, but he went through the back that he has on his back right now. And there was a lot of medication I've never heard of, but I don't think it's the same medications that he was on before cuz I was very used to that addiction problem. And this was something that like I've never seen. >> Yeah. When he gets out, does he have any other belongings here other than that phone that we couldn't find? >> He does have clothes here that I'm sure he'll want, but he keeps everything like in a suitcase in the back since he comes and goes. should probably just be like a quick like grabbing on the >> suit. All right. And if there's anything beyond that, um, you can call us, let us know. Some situations, the judge will will put a condition that he can only come back one time and it's just to get his stuff and he has to have a police escort. Doesn't happen every time. If you want me to request that, then I can, but then it's ultimately up to the judge. Do you want me to request that? That he can only come back one time and then he's barred from here or are you okay with him calling coming back and then you can just call us? we have to notify the defects of what happened and then they will probably follow up with you and just kind of get your side of the story cuz even if I sit there and tell them like everything I know about this whole situation, they might they're not going to it's like a game of telephone, right? Like you're going to tell me what you tell me. I'm going to tell them and then they're going to have, you know, maybe 10% 20% of the whole thing. So, they'll probably follow up with you and just um make sure that there's no safety issues going forward. Okay. I'm gonna get you a pamphlet that just has some information in it real quick. This is that uh pamphlet I was telling you about. Um this is the case number for the incident. This one right here, Kine, that is what you would want to register for if you want to find out when he's getting out. Okay, >> hold tight. All right. I had to feel my legs. >> All right. You good? >> You all right? >> Yeah. You Let's go. >> I'm sorry. >> Look, man. Come on. >> We all make mistakes. >> Lord, you got so many things. I hope they are all >> You guys still don't take book bags. No. >> What's that? I take care. >> All right. You'll get a $10 bond tomorrow. Unless he messages with me, then I'll give >> I do have pictures if you want me to text them to you. >> You have what? >> I did take pictures at home. Okay. >> Before I showered. >> Okay. The officer also explained her right to request a temporary protective order. This legal order could limit the man's contact with her, including restrictions on coming near her home or workplace or reaching out in any way. The pamphlet also listed local organizations that offer free help with filing the necessary paperwork. >> Um, did did uh explain the TPO process? Did he >> uh No. He explained that like the judge might say that like he could just come in once and stuff like that to get his stuff. >> So um the pamphlet that he gave you the victim's right um victim's bill right you can read all through it and it has all the information that you need but basically um those organizations are free to you. They can help you fill out paperwork. You're also able to go to the uh the PO process which is a temporary protective order. You can go to the judge, uh, go to the clerk, ask him to help you fill one out. You're basically going to go before judge and explain to the judge, I would like a temporary protective order for this reason. If he deems your reasons valid, he'll grant it. And it'll basically say, okay, you're not to have any violent contact with her, you're not to come to her workplace, home, within a distance, have harass communication, etc. Whatever he what the judge wants, right? And what you're asking for as well. And that's basically how it goes. Okay. Any questions? >> Okay. All right. I hope you have a better day. Okay. >> And unfortunately, the man was officially charged with aggravated assault, battery involving family violence, and cruelty to children in the third degree. What do you think about how the officers handled this case? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
