So, probably would have been a a front right tire mark. And here's a mark right here where it hit the manhole, hit the uh metal retaining basin. Okay. So, damage, possible damage to the front right tire rim. No other evidence. Looks like we have some rub marks here on the tire. Also right here, some high rub marks, which is unusual. Okay, so it was struck in this direction. This was impacted first. You can see tire marks smudged here and it's slightly kicked back the whole basin unit. And if we were to take a measurement from a front tire on that car to the impact zone, it's it's perfect. >> And at the same man, this is what we do for a living, okay? Um, and it's nothing personal against you. We are He's a former detective. I'm a former detective. And we we're pretty good at our jobs. So, let me >> show you the damage. And there's also, so what you're going to have here with this tire impacting that, you're going to have some type of side rub or damage to the rim possibly. >> You got lucky you didn't damage your rim, >> but you have rub marks here on the side of the tire which are indicative of hitting that that basin >> right here. >> Here's the damage where you hit it. >> Right down your whole front of your car here, here, and on the plate >> straight down. There's the there's the dent from when you hit the top of the top of >> At the end of the day, it's just it's a good thing you didn't get injured or nobody else got injured, but we would just like to know what happened. You know, um were you distracted? Did something jump out in front of you? We're just looking to see what what happened. Were you did you take your eyes off the road for a second? >> Inspecting the vehicle, officers note clear signs of a crash, tire marks, a bent license plate, and front end damage. >> I mean, we're just looking for an explanation as to why. What caused you to swing a little too wide and hit it? So, >> hold on to that camera, please. >> Is there anything you can tell us on the reason why you hit it? >> I'm sorry I was distracted. I don't know. >> All right. Well, listen, it's it's good. I mean, the first step here is just to admit it. It's It's okay. Um, you know, people heard it. We responded out here and all of a sudden you come up here with the the vehicle that hit it. So, it it is what it is. It is what it is. So, I'm just glad you admitted it. Was your son in the car when you hit it or were you >> No. >> No. Okay. And this just happened just a few minutes ago. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. >> You want to hit I'm going to do some additional test? >> Yeah, no problem. >> Hi there. >> Okay. >> Let's explain to you what happened, sir. >> Okay. >> So, we got called here for this street sign being knocked down. Okay. >> I believe uh I don't know who called it in. >> Somebody called in. and they said they just um heard a bang and they noticed that somebody hit this and left the scene. So, we responded out here and my partner was here looking at the area and when your wife pulled up and she's got um discre, you know, she just she has the damage marks here from hitting the post and she also hit that metal basin. So, she basically went off the road like this and and knocked it over. So, with the metal basin, there's tire marks that it's pushed in a little bit. So, there's going to be rim damage or tire slide damage. And that's what we have right here. We've got rub marks here. We've got rub marks here and here from hitting it. Um, and so once we confront her with all these facts, if you line up the tire and that beam, the measurement is absolutely perfect. So, basically, we got her to admit that she's hit it and she said she was distracted. Um, and she uh, you know, she took her eyes off the road for a second. She got distracted and she hit it and she's >> The officers explain everything to her husband who's visibly stunned by the situation >> and I said it's okay. So, you know, we're going to deal with that. But in the meantime, um she's been drinking alcohol. I don't know what she's been drinking. I got here secondary. My partner is the one that was dealing with her and I'm sorry in initially and um that's what we're doing right now. We're just putting her through some field sobriety tests to make sure to determine if she's technically intoxicated right now or not. So, that's what my partner's doing right now. That's pretty much all we have right now. So, do you know what she's been drinking? >> I just got home a few minutes ago. >> Okay. All right. >> She likes to drink wine. She would never >> I mean, as long as we've been married would ever do that and then go get my son from school. All right. Is there is everything go okay at home recently? Is there is >> no issues. >> Is there anything going on like with her as far as like needing to drink during the day or No. >> Okay. All right. >> I know she's had a stressful week traveling, but other than that, nothing. >> All right. >> These are all fair questions, right? I'm not I'm not I'm not pushing the limits, right? We're just we're just here doing our job, man. You know, making sure everybody's okay. I mean, I was literally in the house just >> I don't know why she just didn't let me go get them if there was >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, it's the thing about, you know, living close to home with everything around here. It's all so close, you know. >> Everyone gets very comfortable within their one square mile, you know. >> What What school is it? The high school. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> On the line. >> Can I ask you a favor, though? >> What's that? >> Can we not do this here in front of the >> I'm sorry, sir. This is my my partner is in charge here. >> Oh, I have to tell you as well. I'm wearing a body camera that's recording us, just so you know. Just make you aware of that. >> Sorry, I forgot to tell you that earlier. >> This will take all of five minutes. >> And uh I know it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. >> But at this point, it's just between those two. You know, he's the one that basically stopped her. This is his investigation at this point. >> Meanwhile, the mom continues with the sobriety test. >> Have you stand right here? >> Okay.

Obviously, >> we're going based off of what's on the video, but obviously when you see her put the stuff in the kid's bag and then walk out and then the kids walk out and she's like, "Oh, but I told him not to steal it, so she knew it was in there." And then she doesn't come back and say, "Hey, no, don't stay inside." >> I get it. >> I It's right. So, um, is she out on bond or is she on probation for the DUI arrest? >> Yeah, she was out on bond. She was supposed to have court. I think it was yesterday or the day before. She got in there, from what she's told me, they dropped the felony charge. >> I think it just dropped the DUI or like a reckless or something >> the day before for the felony charge for the child neglect, right? >> And then she went and tried to figure out her next court date.

And he ran through my living room, tossed over a table, went through the side um, on my couch is where this table was, and the BB gun is in the corner. >> And he grabbed the BB gun and ran out the door with it. She was still outside on the phone with with my mother >> and I then locked the the gate behind him once he ran out with the >> he then you can hear him on the thing telling her to open the gate and that I I effed up now because I kid him with the bat which I did not. What I did with the bat was smash my phone, which is mine that he was using, because he was telling her to come and get the phone. And I told him he didn't have a phone. And the phone got smashed. And then I threw the phone to him outside. He still had the BB gun and was cursing me out saying um I guess it was somebody's dad said to him about me and I don't recall everything. So, but that's when you heard him saying, "Oh, I effed up now. I effed up now. I hit him with the bat." and he was going to call the police and I let him call the police. I closed my gate behind him. She finished talking to my mom, picking up the rest of the rocks that she had thrown out there and we went back in the house. I was getting ready to take my son to baseball >> when my bell rang and then you guys were. >> Okay. So, at any point did you strike yourself? >> No. >> Whether with your hands or bat or anything like that? >> No, I struck the phone. >> You could see the phone was smashed up. I don't know if he still had it in his in his hand. >> As the conversation goes on, her story becomes more inconsistent with each detail painting her as the real victim. >> Okay. So, how So, did you were you aware of any injuries that your son has? >> No. >> Injuries from what? >> Okay. So, he's pretty banged up on his back and on his arm. Can you explain those where those might have come from? >> From his on his arms and on his back from what? >> I have no idea. >> I don't have any idea either. He we would ran through the house and he knocked over the table, >> ran in the corner where the BB gun was. I don't know how he's got anything on his arms or on his back. It's definitely not for me. Now, what he did outside of the gate, I don't even know where he went after he ran off with the BB gun. He came back a few times, couldn't get back in the gate, and he left. So, I didn't know where where he went, which is why I went on about my business getting ready to take my child to baseball practice. >> So, I wasn't expecting you guys to show up at at my door. >> Yes, ma'am. So, you're saying at no point did you strike him? Did he strike you? >> He attempted to, which is why I grabbed the bat in the first place. >> Okay. >> So, he came at me. The bat was right by the door. >> I grabbed the bat when he came at me. How did he How did he come at you? How? >> Like lunged at me. >> Mhm. And you were So he was inside of the house. >> We were inside of the house. He was towards the I don't know how to explain that. I was standing like facing my back towards the stairs. He was picking up shoes that he had thrown all over the floor. And I told him to pick up his shoes and he could go. This is what the argument was about. He didn't have to be there. He was free to go. So, in the process of him picking up the shoes, yes, I'm still fussing at him and telling him, you know, he didn't need to be there, he's picking on his 8-year-old brother unnecessarily, >> and he then was picking up the shoes. Um, still my daughter was still on the phone with my mom. She was coming back inside the house. And >> so, what do you think? Does her story hold up or is she just trying to save face? what they were saying on it. He was yelling or something like, "Oh, Grammy see, she's always starting drama or something like that." >> And then I went to tell him like, "Shove him out the door." And he just shoved him out the door and he pushed back when I tried to shove him out the door and then like came at me and I grabbed the bat from the door. He ran around through the living room. >> So I thought you said you never touched him. >> Well, I didn't I didn't hit him. I like nudged him, shoved him. It wasn't forceful. He's much bigger than me anyways. Wasn't forceful. I nudged him, try to get him out the door, >> but I didn't even really push him hard, like, you know, just pushed him on his shoulder. >> Yes, ma'am. >> And um he got upset about that and came towards me, which is why I end up having the bat in my hand. He ran around the sofa, knocked the table over in the corner so he could get through the side, grabbed the BB gun out the out of the corner because it was over in the corner behind the chair that's in the corner. Pushed that up against the window and ran out the door and then ran off. Came back telling my daughter to open the gate, left again because I was standing there still at the gate with the bat still, but I didn't touch him with the bat. >> Okay. Is that all? Is that all? That's it. That's it. You didn't let him back in the gate. >> I didn't let him back in the house at all. I didn't let him back in the gate and I told her not to let him back in the gate and I told her to come in the house and she went and got in the shower >> and then that's when >> and that's when the rest of it happened cuz we were getting ready to leave. I was getting ready to take him to baseball. >> All right. All right. No problem. Just hang tight for a second.
