She said that your daughter was dropped off with your mother. >> That's a lie. >> You're not a real >> She's not a real cop. Why don't you show up here and let me see your face? You >> No, no, no. >> All I want to do is help this girl because she reminds me of my child. >> Can you please just let me go? I'm not a bad person. >> On August 8th, 2023, officers responded to a residence after a father reported that his ex-girlfriend had taken his 16-year-old daughter without his permission. According to the father, the woman came to the home earlier that morning and later picked up the teen while he was asleep, refusing to disclose their location when contacted by law enforcement. >> What's going on, man? >> Uh, get in the shade here. >> Okay. >> Make a long story short, I'm going to tell you what happened and then you can ask me a question. >> Okay. >> My ex-girlfriend came over this morning at 6:00 a.m. Hadn't slept, clearly messed up, came alcohol, refused to leave. I had to call my mother to come here, act as a witness to get her out. Now, she finally left around 2:00. Um, I came home, changed the door code, my daughter was here, and I took a nap. When I woke up, my daughter wasn't here. My mother called me and was telling me that my ex came here, picked my daughter up. >> Mhm. >> Right. And took off with her. So, I definitely need to have a no trespass order put on my ex. Um, also she shouldn't be running around with my 16-year-old daughter. I don't know how much I can do here. Okay. >> Without getting my daughter in trouble 30 minutes ago. >> Can you call her Britney? >> Yeah. >> Hey, is this Britney? This is Deputy Vega at Penelis County Sheriff's Office. Where's uh where's Iliana at? So, here's the situation. If I don't find Ilana in the next If you don't tell me where you're at, where I can go get her, I'm gonna drop charges on your within probably 15 minutes and then you're going to be going to jail. So, I want to know where she's at right now. I don't want any other answers. She said that your daughter was dropped off with your mother. >> That's a lie. >> I know that probably is. Do you think that they would be back to her home? Back to Britney's home. >> No, because Britney has been doing her mother has a a no trespass on my house already. >> Where would she be going? is what I'm trying to get out of. >> I have no idea. >> Where does she live? >> The hammocks. >> Is it an apartment? >> No, it's a house >> and it's her home. >> No, it's her parents' home. I mean, do you want to try there or >> Yeah. >> either without her her father father's knowledge of it? >> Uh because he let her out of the house and >> we're not doing Can you say Can you let him know that he knew? >> I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. Is this is He's not even a cop. This is not a real cop. >> No, he's not a real cop. You're not a real cop, sir. Not a real cop. I knew that you were with me. >> I don't know why. I don't know why she doesn't think I'm a real cop. >> You know what? Why don't you show the up here and let me see your face, you? >> No problem. I'm on the way. >> All right. >> Want to head up there? >> Yeah. >> Hello. >> Oh, come over here, Britney. Go ahead. Put your hand back. >> Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> I'm going to Are you serious? Yeah. >> Back. >> Oh, >> really? What did I do? What did I do? >> Really? >> Talk about a second. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay. Can I Okay. Well, I need to call my employer actually. Am I allowed to talk about? >> Okay. Okay. That's fine. >> You got nothing on you to be concerned about? >> I know. >> Obviously. Okay. >> Just my phone. >> You got anything in your bra or anything like that? >> Nothing. Babe, what what's going on? >> Babe, are you serious? >> No, this is not right. Excuse me, sir. Can I >> Man, stop. >> Can I just Can I speak to you, please? >> Yeah, we'll talk in a second. Hold on. >> All I want to do is help this girl because she reminds me of myself. She reminds me of myself. Like, >> what? >> Sit out, Britney. >> I'm sorry. >> Give me your keys. >> Okay. Excuse me. Sorry. >> What do you want me to do? Are you trying to like do something weird? >> No. You haven't even read me my rights yet. >> So, just so we're clear, I'm taking her to jail for the inner what's called the interference of custody. Right. In cases where husband and wife, maybe your sister, your mom, it's easy to like kind of go back and forth. You know, let's say your mom really was involved in your daughter's life, I wouldn't feel maybe comfortable making that arrest. But in this situation, you obviously don't want her here. You're not welcome. You have concerns. She's a drug addict. You made statements that she's possibly providing your daughter, which I'm going to talk to her about. Obviously, she can't be with this woman. Second thing is when you want her back, which you asked for her back, right? That's not an option. I could be your daughter's like softball coach and if we're at practice and you come, you know what I mean? And you say, "Hey, I'm taking her." >> I can't be like, "Nah, >> you know what I mean? She goes, it's your daughter." Does she have the right maybe to leave the house, drive a car cuz she's 16, you know? You know, I think she can like check books out of the library and do stuff like that. Sure, cuz she's borderline at that age. But an adult doesn't have the freedom to keep the cussy of a child. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Now, we give them an opportunity, right? So, if you give someone a ride and you can't just like have them drive off and abruptly be like, "Nope, bring them back." >> You got to give them an opportunity to come back. >> We gave this woman an apple opportunity. >> Yeah. >> She said she was give me the run. So, >> okay. So, that's what she's going to do. >> I'm going to talk to your daughter real quick. Okay. >> Very simple. Just you're no longer welcome and then you can just turn around and leave. All right. Listen up. >> You're no longer welcome on the property. >> Hi. >> Can you please just let me go? >> Listen up. I'm going to read you Miranda and then we're going to go from there. Okay. >> Let me go. >> Let me read you Miranda and we'll talk. Okay. >> You have the right to remain silent. You understand each of these right? >> I don't understand. >> Okay. Which right do you do you not understand? >> I didn't understand why I got put in handcuffs. >> You understand the rights as I explained it to you and then we'll talk about everything else. >> I'm just not sure. I'm sorry. >> I'm going to turn on my radio and I'm going to explain I'm going to reread this all over. >> I'm just not sure what's going on. >> I'm going to explain to you. Can I talk Can I talk to you for a minute? Can I just talk to you? I took her to get her nails done and I talked to his mom and I said, "This is where Leah is. I will get her back home safe." And that was that. And I took her back here and I said, "If he wanted to come to Daniel Place at 7:30 to get her, that was fine." And he wasn't there. And I brought her back here at 8. Like I said, I will leave him alone and leave the whole family alone. If you just please let me go. I'm not a bad person. Please let me go. I will leave him alone forever. I swear. Jesus Christ. Please let me go. This is not me. Just please, >> Britney. I got to ask you some questions. >> Can you just please let me go? >> Britney, I have to ask you some very specific questions. >> Like, where did you come? Can you just please not take me to jail? I didn't do anything wrong, sir. Sir, I didn't do anything wrong. >> Listen, I have to ask you very specific questions. In order for me to ask you these questions, I have to read you, Miranda. And I got to make sure you understand them to me before you put me in handcuffs. >> No. >> Yeah, you are. >> No. >> Yeah, you are. >> And I don't even understand why you put me in handcuffs. Can you tell me that, sir? >> Yes. I'm taking you to jail for interference. >> No. Yes. >> That's not what it was. >> That's what it did. >> There was no interference. Sir, >> you interfered. >> No, I did not. >> You did. >> No, I did not. >> You did, >> sir. I did not. And if I did that, I I did not mean that. I've been his girlfriend for 7 years, and all I'm trying to do is make sure that Leah doesn't run away. I care about Leah, and that is 100% the truth. I care about that girl, and if you and if you let me go, I will never talk to them, do anything. And I You taught me a lesson. I I care about Leah. It has nothing to do with custody. I swear on Jesus Christ. I swear. Just please let me go. >> Can you let me ask you? >> Can you please let me go? >> Let me ask you some question. >> Can you please let me go? This is not right. Sir, >> I have to ask. >> Can you please not be a bad person right now? And like, believe me, >> I am not being a bad person. >> I've been with him for 7 years. His mom came to the house today and she knew where we were. Can you just understand this? I'm asking you nicely, please. I come from a good family. Can you please? He's going to jail because he's beaten me and I should come back to him. >> I have to ask you some questions and you're not letting me do that. >> I do not deserve to go to jail because I didn't know I was interfering with anything. She's supposed to be at his house and I made sure that she was safe here like I told her. >> Do you understand that you just talking right now? Is it moving this forward? >> I'm not trying to go to jail. That's not what Can you just please like can we just make some kind of a like understanding some agreement something like that where I don't need to go to jail? Like that's not right. I don't belong in jail, sir. And that's not that's my my not boyfriend anymore, I guess. Like, we've been together for 7 years. You shouldn't do that to me. If I was interfering with the custody case, you should have told me that, sir. >> Sir, can you can't really go into that much more detail without going through this process first? Is there like a thing we got to do here? Can you let me do this first? Then we can talk about more. You let me >> I'm not going to tell. >> In order for me to speak freely, I have to get through this part first. Can we go through this part first? Well, I don't want you to speak freely because I need to speak freely. So, I guess we're going to be here all night. >> No, I mean at some point and you just go to jail. >> Well, I want to hear what you said because I don't think that's the truth. And I was not interfering. >> I don't think you understand. >> And then we can talk. >> There's an order of events that we have to go through. >> I'm trying to give you an opportunity to talk, >> but I can't we can't we can't do this. Is that in jail? >> No. Where where's that at? >> Right here. Right now. You want to take me to jail? >> He has to read you your rights before we talk. I haven't got your side. >> He just said he just said something about taking me to jail. >> If you're refusing to talk, then that's what we'll just go straight to jail. >> No. Well, I will tell. But I mean, >> he's got to read that thing first. >> So, you're not going to take me to jail? >> Got to read you this first. >> But you already read it to me. >> Said you didn't understand your rights. So, I'm going to reread >> because it's confusing cuz you're supposed to read it to me before you put me in handcuffs, >> right? >> No, that's not true. That's like Hollywood. >> Okay. Well, so can you break them down for me slowly cuz I don't understand. >> So you have the right to remain silent. >> Okay. So I shouldn't talk. >> You have the right to remain silent. >> What does that mean? >> That means you have the right to not say anything. >> Okay. >> Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. >> I don't give that either. >> Everything you say is on record. >> Okay. Well, I as it should. >> Okay. >> Right. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her with you. >> Well, that's not that's not fair if he gets one when he gets questioned and I don't.

Correct. >> Um I will not even talk about a lawyer. I won't even question. I won't even talk. I don't want anything. Is that what you want from me? >> It's not what I want.
