dill bill b-i-l-l
mm-hmm
okay okay all right so let's get this
paperwork done so we can get you home
okay
what's up you remember your social
security
board yeah hi dad i'm officially by the
way
um
she was involved in a crash out on 270.
she rear-ended a car as i was driving
and they pulled over and then she got
out and acted crazy in front of that car
she kind of videotaped her and then she
took off up here and then the officers
found her here
she's very combative at times
um you know she's extremely intoxicated
she got a her lips just a little bit
busted for where she hit the steering
wheel i think yeah but no major injuries
or anything like that so back deployment
no i didn't see anything
she it was you could see where she did
because the cars were both moving at the
same time it wasn't like huge stuff now
if the other car was not it was stopped
then yeah there would probably be a lot
of airbag but she kind of came in behind
her real quick and and bumped her as the
cars were moving
so
just trying to get her calm down i'm
just gonna do some paperwork give her a
court date and then i'll release her to
you guys it's no problem but at first
she was a little bit combative and put
handcuffs on her you know but she's up
and down up and down so i mean you're
her parents i mean have you tried to get
her a little bit of help or anything
because she sounds like she she might
need to go see a therapist or something
the way she's talking i mean she's you
know
i mean i try to talk to her in the car
but she don't hear any of it but you
know it's totally up to you guys she's
an adult now but you know intervention
from the family is probably good
you know and then you know when she
sobers up might be a good idea to sit
down and talk to her it's why she's the
way she is tonight at least right you
know okay
so but
like i said she's like she's up and down
up and down as you can see so my job i'm
trying to keep her calm and then get the
paperwork done and i'll release her and
then you guys but we're gonna then pound
the car because using the hip skip and
she's impaired all right okay but that's
where we're at right now but if she gets
too combative and stuff then i'll have
to take her to jail because i can't have
you know
then
be out of your house you know i mean
we're not gonna take care of it right
now so all right but she's you know up
and down so if you want to talk to her
if you do a better job to calm her down
than i can then go for it
the limit is 65. i'm not doing no 22.55
this is just straight a1
because of her injuries to her mouth and
stuff
her urine and she's come so combative
with the other no i hear you i'm so
