statement No so your husband's going to go to jail oh come on seriously um yes ma'am how do I do I get him out tonight uh unfortunately um it's a felony charge so he has to go before an arraignment which will be tomorrow Friday tomorrow uh tomorrow morning sometime um wa so what about him pushing me and him it's all going to be documented right and that's why that's why we wanted you guys to write statements and and put that and write a Cru where we PID like th listen so what time does your cruise leave our the bus is picking us up at 10:30 okay I I can't tell you yes or no whether or not you're going to make it there's no way we can come back and this point in time why does he have to be arrested because at this point in time your husband's going to be charged and I can say you're right here with robber snatching what's a felony it's laying there in the park somewhere we never took anything it's laying in the park what kind of cre so what you're being charged with Disney Cru yes that's on they fall under a different window I think I don't know well I so that I don't know about that I don't know about because I know Disney California does not we don't honor their trespass warnings if they're trespassed from Disneyland so are we going to be from Disney so your husband's being trespass from Disney for how long that I do not know that's going to be up to Disney so usually for a year um and then in a year you can usually uh contact security and guest services it's laying on the ground in the park somewhere so ultimately that really doesn't matter the the crime of robbery by sou Nation only requires you to walk up and and take something from somebody was like we took it he hit it I ma' I understand no this isn't fair you didn't do anything you were trying to protect your kid so what I can tell you you is that my my partner did a very thorough investigation consulted with both my Corporal and my sergeant we've called our our our division uh criminal investigations we've called our division Captain everybody is on the same page with this um everybody is is is on board and agrees with with what we've found out how do I get to how do I get to court how do I what time is he to get AR rained in the morning so that we do not know that's going to be with the jail staff when they book him into the jail um they'll give him his time Fort and all that stuff all right let's go ahead and walk through BL door sir you need to say anything to her all the stuff get the kids do what you got to do what is that mean know what I need my I will need my license and wallet give me my license and wallet you want to take your cell phone you can you want your phone too that way you can get numbers and that way you can call your wife and whoever you need to talk to no I yeah I I I thought so cuz we ran into this recently before that the cruise in Disneyland California is [Applause] separate it's not your fault my fault no it's not and don't let a think it's her fault either it's okay it's going to be okay it's going to be okay it's not okay get the stuff get back to the room [Music] 61 161 this way right here this way sir ahead go down here
