This is your rental. The dad. >> Okay. See, I can see the 7-Eleven. >> Yeah. [Applause] Without even opening the door, the officer spots a cup inside that raises red flags. It's enough to start asking the mother some tough questions. >> What's in the 7-Eleven uh coffin? >> There's something in there. >> There's nothing in there. >> What am I seeing in there? Am I going crazy? Um, I dropped some wine out of there. >> Some wine? >> Mhm. >> Okay. You've been drinking a day then? Just a little bit? >> Three. >> Okay.

She walked away from me. >> Right. Right. But you didn't. >> And I tried to get her to go to the movies. We went to Winter Park Village where her school mates and everything else been and she didn't want to go there. That's why she didn't want to go. Oh, that's the road. She wanted to go by her friends. I see. >> No, no, no, no. It's out there. Her friends don't even go there. Her friends go to Mac or somewhere in that area. And I tried to get her to park. She started crying. So, I decided to drive back to where I start to from Fashion Square Mall and she didn't want to go to Fashion Square Mall. So, I turned back over and then she didn't want to go there and I was like, "Turn around, go. Maybe she'll change her mind." And I was trying to get her change her mind. So, I'm going to the movies, watch the movies. >> Okay. I'm talking about the uh driving pattern since you know you separated from your daughter. >> No, she walked away from me. That's the old pattern. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm not trying to dictate the situation >> that I don't care about what we call it. >> She she did walk away from me when I tried to get her to go to the movie theater. >> I'm not disputing that fact. Okay. What I'm asking you about is since that incense happened where you >> and then I couldn't find her dad. >> Can you let me find out what she's calling my dad? As expected, the woman becomes defensive almost immediately. But the officer isn't interested in arguing. He's here to get answers. >> So, pay attention. Listen to my question. All right. Then I want you to answer after I'm done asking. Do you understand that? >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, since your daughter left the car. >> Mhm. >> Where did you go? >> I went to my grandmother's. >> Okay.

So, I went to public. I couldn't find her in. >> Okay. All right. You will want to do some tests to make sure you're all right to drive? >> I mean, I'm okay now. I'm trying to go to the movies and get my daughter. >> You wouldn't mind going through a few exercises to make sure that you're all right to drive? All right. Come on over here.

Have you been diagnosed with anything by a doctor? >> Bipolar. >> Oh, no. I mean with the hips that you brought up earlier. >> Nope. >> Now that the initial conversation is over, officers proceed with the first part of the sobriety test. >> I want you to do you see this white line right here that you're standing up? Make sure you face the curve. All right, take one step back. Do your walking turn. All right, so put your left foot on that line. Put your right foot in front of your left foot with your heel touching your toe. All right, keep your arms down to your side. Stand just like that. Tight. Tight begin. Do you understand?

Do >> you have any questions? No. >> Why don't you get line back up with your right foot in front of your left foot? Okay, begin. >> The heel to toe test begins and it quickly becomes clear to officers that this woman had no business driving. [Music] Do you remember what I asked you to do? Five steps to left. So steps. >> Are you done? >> I think so. >> Okay. Come on. Back here. >> Stand right there. Put your feet together. Heels and toes touching side by side just like before.

According to the 13-year-old boy, his own father was driving under the influence. Officers respond immediately and soon flag down the vehicle on the highway. [Music] You okay? You're okay.

Okay, it's all right. >> Rusty and Jessica, the tow truck operators on the scene, quickly placed their attention on the 13-year-old, showing more concern for the child than the boy's own father. >> Buddy, you got your school ID on you? >> Um, I think I left in the car. >> Okay.

Paramedics later arrived to assess the father's well-being. Meanwhile, the other officer along with Rusty and Jessica turns their attention to the young boy, asking questions to better understand what happened. >> I just got to get a statement from you. Okay? >> Are you just Are you just scared or what? >> Yeah. >> Well, you don't have to be scared. I mean, we're all here. Have you ever had to deal with this with your dad before? >> I did this with my mom. >> Huh? >> My mom. >> You dealt with this with your mom? How old are you, dude? Like 13. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I mean, that's that's that kind of stinks that you have to go through that, man. >> So, can you just kind of tell me what happened this morning? You guys were >> So, >> was your dad drinking this morning? Has he been up all night or what's going on? >> Woke up and I went in his sleeping. So, I just took a shower and then whenever I woke up, I mean, not woke up, whenever I got out the shower, he was still sleeping. So then I just told him to wake up and then he did. >> Does he usually get up with you in the morning? >> He Yeah, he he never goes back to sleep. >> No, he usually wakes up with you. >> Yeah. Whenever I Huh. >> Does he work? >> Okay. >> When Whenever I checked his cabinets, he had like five vodkas in his cabinets and then like most of them were empty. >> So you found five empty bottles of vodka? >> Not all of them are empty. >> Okay. But uh >> take your backpack off and put that jacket and put your arms in. I thought you're sitting there shivering. >> But then we just went to school and then whenever I realized something was off of like his eyes were like dozing off. >> Say that again. >> His eyes are like dozing. >> Okay. So how far away do you live from here? I guess I'm not exactly sure. Yeah. >> Like right now? >> Yeah. >> Like >> couple minutes. >> 10 minutes. >> 10 minutes. So he drove all the way to school and you said he was dozing off. >> Yeah. >> At like a >> like he was like like swerving a little bit and he was stopping at green lights and he almost hit a pole. >> Okay. >> And I I called my five times and she wouldn't answer. So I called my and she said to call you guys. >> As the boy continues to speak, officers come to understand the true weight of what he's been dealing with at home. >> So he didn't say, "Did you did you tell him that the police were behind him or whatever?" >> I told him to pull over. >> Yeah. Did you see us back there? So, what did he say? >> He said to talk He kept saying to talk to the lady. He wants to talk. He wanted to talk to the lady. >> Okay. And that's it. >> All right. Did Did he say anything as he was approaching this area before you when you were able to get out of the vehicle? Were you trying to get out of the car before? >> Yeah, I was going to get out the car either way cuz I didn't want to be in the car with him. >> Right. That makes sense. Yeah. You did the right thing, man. I know dad, but you know, you don't you don't want to be they don't need to put you in that situation either. Okay. All right. Is there anything you wish add or delete about your statement? >> You don't want to add anything else? >> No. >> All right. That'll conclude the statement. >> Now that the boy's grandmother has arrived, officers walk her through everything that unfolded leading up to the call. >> Okay. So, that's your son. The driver who drives that car is your son. >> Yeah. This is the first time I don't know how working all that stuff. >> Okay. Well, he was drinking this morning. Drinking alcohol. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, this is your son, right? And that's your grandson? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, your son was drinking alcohol. Took him to school. He is driving so erratically he calls us up like, "Oh my gosh, I'm scared. I'm I'm really scared of what's going on here." >> I mean, I don't know exactly the words, but that's what we all got over the radio. Mhm. >> He pulls into the school. Now, the call came out right before he got to the school. So, our deputy, the school resource officer, goes to make contact with him, knocks on the door, says, "Hey," he drives off with him, not even leaving him at the school. >> He doesn't know. >> So, he now he's in the car, he drives off. We find him at racetrack. That deputy turns on the lights to do a traffic stop. Okay? Like everyday traffic stop. He drives off from the traffic stop. We got another deputy. Now we have two cops following him. He drives over here. The only reason he stopped because he got stuck in he got he got stuck in traffic. And that's when he darted out of the car to to separate himself from his dad. And that's when we were able to get him out of the car. >> Okay. I don't care. Really? I don't care because he's one person. He's drunk. He's drunk. >> He's a drunk. >> I don't know. I don't know. Does he drink a lot? >> No, >> he is today. >> Okay. >> Yeah, >> that is my point.

Okay. >> No, no, no. Take care. From now I going to take care of him. I going to make one one statement. He's going to live with me and he's going to stay with me all the time. >> Her decision to step up offers a moment of relief.

Number three, a special day at Disney turns into a nightmare because of mom's meltdown. On August 12th, 2024, officers were called to Disney World, the so-called happiest place on earth after a dispute between two mothers traveling together took a chaotic turn. Both families had spent the day at the park, but the argument escalated so quickly that police had to step in. Watch as officers speak with one of the women involved. >> What at some point you guys weren't able to watch? Tell me when you guys get angry at each other. What led to you guys pushing each other? >> We was running the car and something happened.

Y'all can see I even left. I was walking off and she still was coming. Both families were already preparing to head home after a seemingly pleasant day. But while loading into their rental vehicles, tensions exploded into a physical altercation. And according to the woman, she wasn't the one who started it. >> The whole time the workers, I guarantee if we talked to them, they said they on my side. I was never >> Let me ask you this because this is where I'm having difficulty. >> Okay. >> Trying to figure out locations is all >> the location was from the >> You got delivered here.

You guys rode here, right? uh disturbance of whatever kind. >> I didn't disturb the piece. >> Listen to me. >> I wasn't. >> If you're talking, you're not listening. >> So, y'all want me to press charges, right? >> If you're talking, you're not listening. >> Oh my god. >> You're not You're not even understanding me. You're interrupting. >> The officers try to get a clear statement, but it's obvious she's in no condition to hold a coherent conversation. >> So, I'm trying to make sure I have the sequence of events properly. Okay. Proper. >> I don't want to do nothing. I'm telling you. Okay. Well, well, whether you want to or not, you have to help me clarify this. >> I'm telling you. >> So, >> you guys got here, >> right? A little argument happened between you and your cousin. Is she really your cousin or are you guys just friends? And >> I'm telling Matt, >> they're really, >> are you going to talk to me or not? >> They're really cousins, >> but I I don't want to do that. I'm good. Like, >> it's just a yes or no. Are you not? Okay. You're not. Okay. >> Okay. Awesome. >> Thank you. for hang with her. Please help with me. >> Despite the uncertainty, officers can't wait much longer. They begin discussing how to handle the situation from here. >> Okay. >> And what what did she say about her? >> She's saying that her granddad is cousins with someone else in the family. >> Oh my god. I can't even articulate the whole Right. Okay. >> So, she just said no. She's saying yes. Okay. Um, >> but I don't consider that to be a bloodline. >> I don't believe it at all. >> Okay. >> So, >> I got this here. Um, she's saying, "Hey, if she's going to write a statement, she'll write one." So, obviously, if she's not going to, she's not going to. >> What's that? >> If she just told me if she's going to write a statement, then she will. >> But she's not going to. So, then she won't. >> Okay. So, here's the thing is that uh if so, we've determined here this is I read I pulled up the policy by the way. >> Uh and they're not living in the family in the household together, are they? >> No. >> No. Okay. So, that's good. Got spouses. They don't have a baby in common. Uh so, it's good. The whole bloodline thing, that's kind of that's kind of far from there. What I would do in this point is that she says that she wasn't going to press any charges. I would I would give the written declaration of non of nonprosecution, which wouldn't be just this bottom >> right here. My signature remains uh I refuse to prosecute people. She would sign that and do that there. One line. I do not want to prosecute. Don't make it fancy. I don't give a look. However, okay. >> Yep. >> Um and but uh we can honestly say we do the policy. >> Yep. >> Uh this is unable to determine if there's actually a bloodline here. >> Um she says no. She's by the great great grandfather of the fifth of the fourth. >> That's hard to establish. Um okay. And then same thing with her. So, um, but I would, what you're going to have to do, though, is go like, um, >> do we believe that she's a primary aggressor? Yes. >> Yes. >> Uh, she down now. Therefore, she's doing simple 85 a battery. They ask her if she will press charges or not. Okay. >> Okay. If she says no, then same thing. Declaration of saying, "No, that and that's it." She says yes, then. Officers are ready to deliver their decision, and both women are about to hear what comes next. >> Hey. All right. So, here's the deal. >> Are you listening? Are you understanding me? >> Yes. >> All right. Cool. Lower your voice, please. >> Lower your voice. >> I You're somebody else. Could you >> listen to me? >> I need you to listen to me, okay? If you want to stay out of jail. >> All right. So, how about this? Calm >> down. Listen.

I'm not being white. >> You're lovely. >> I'm a black citizen. >> We been getting cute. >> Okay, baby.

Sorry to everybody's being a maniac. >> Yeah. >> You know, did you guys just drive down that way and then you came back this way? >> Yeah, you went by Tom's. You guys saw me over there. Okay. >> Listen, I apologize to me. I'm more pissed off that you're not coherent enough to drive your vehicle car. my government to my house. Yes, sir. I ain't. >> So, tell me why your would say yeah, drunk and he was just driving really fast up and down this road and told him to stop. You think an 8-year-old make that up? >> He's a child. >> He's going to say what he says. >> So, he's so he shouldn't even know what drunk is, right? >> He's a child, >> dude. Look at here, man. >> Do what? >> You're being You're being oblivious. >> I am. You have >> I'm a father. I would never. >> My home is right here. Yeah. >> So, does that just make it okay that you should just get to go home because you're drunk? >> Look, I'm not doing nothing to to to put my >> life in danger. >> You are because they're in the vehicle. And then you about put my life in danger when you almost hit me, >> sir. No, I did not almost hit you. No, sir. I did not almost hit you. >> I don't know what to tell you. >> I did not almost hit you. No, sir. >> You're being honestly ridiculous right now. You really are. >> I don't really care what you think. Be honest with you. I'm telling you what happened. So, >> I apologize if you think that I did. >> I don't think that it happened. I'm telling you it did. >> But I did not. No, sir. >> I don't got to argue with you. So, >> it did. It did happen. You can be in denial all you want to about happen. So, >> listen. You think that I'm not >> Well, you're telling me I'm wrong. So, that's question of my integrity. I'm telling you. >> Okay. Whatever you say, bud. Look at arguing with you, man. I'm not >> I'm not arguing with you, man. I'm not. >> But I apologize if you think I did. I'm sorry. But I did not. >> Just moments later, the children's mother arrives at the scene, clearly shaken by what she's walked into. >> Watch the glass. >> I could have drove, but I just ran. >> All right, you're good. You said you guys live right there. >> Yes. >> Yeah. So, he about hit me over there on the side of the road um going going off the road on Cooper going that way. >> Um while I was dealing with three other people >> and then they were like, "You're not you're going to keep messing with us and not going to stop that guy the way he's driving." Well, then I was trying to finish with him and then he went through the neighborhood over there, came back out at Mary, blew the stop sign, spinning tires, doing like 70 both ways. >> Exactly. >> So, not only did he almost he's also riskinglessly the kids. >> Uh, this fell out of his lap, so I'm assuming that probably came from Ryan's if that's where you guys came from. >> Um, >> okay. Glass. I wasn't sure, but yeah. >> Yeah, it was in his fell out of his lap. So, once we're done with him, then they can go with Does he normally piss his pants? Is that normal for him? >> He doesn't. >> Okay. But okay. >> But not when he's awake and coherent. No. >> What's your name? >> Mason. >> Mason. All right. So, >> my deputy just told me he observed you. >> You're the traffic now. Okay. >> Unfortunately. Yes, sir. >> So, after he made contact with you, obviously I'm seeing it, too. I'm selling, you know, slur speech. You're leaning up against this vehicle. I really hope You didn't feed yourself? >> No, sir. That's drink. >> Drink. >> There's a glass over there. >> What kind of drink was it? >> Just water. >> Just water on the left. >> Yes, sir. >> Where did you Where are you guys coming from? >> Uh, it came from Ryan's. >> Ryan's off of Duncan Road there. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. I don't know if there's one here in the downtown. >> No, sir. No, sir. Ryan's downtown. >> Okay. All right. So, based on his observations, my observations on these speaking to you, I'm just going to run you through. Okay. All it is is that make sure that you're able to operate the vehicle. doesn't mean that you're in any trouble at all. >> I don't want to to do a field surprise test. No, sir. I don't. I live right here. I don't care to. So, like I said, my house is right here street. >> It's clear to just about anyone that the man is intoxicated, but for some reason, he seems convinced he can convince the officers otherwise. >> Behind your license in front of your license. All right. That >> Why am I going to jail? Because I look right here. >> Let me speak to you. So based on my observations, his observations, >> I'm not being >> I know. Well, you asked, so I'm explaining it to you, right? I hope I'm not being >> No, you're not being explain it to you. So the way that >> that works is >> what do I need to do to >> dispel my fear that you're not intoxicated is run us through field sobriety. That's it. >> Okay, >> that's all it is. It's either you do it or you don't. >> All right. Just like how it says on I I'll show you my license. >> I am right here in my house, man. I get it >> right here. Can you read over there at the bottom? >> I'm not being the motor vehicle constitution of any sobriety but test required by law. Okay. So that's all it is just based on my observations. I'm not accusing you of anything. It's just based on my observations. I just need to dispel my fear that you're able to operate. >> What do you want me to do? >> I will you consent to run through fields for >> Can you run me through what you want me to do? >> I can I can do it through without me consenting. Let me know what you want me to do. >> You don't Whatever. So you're if you want to do them, it's yes or no. >> What do you want me to do? I want to know what you want me to do. >> So you see the tip of my pen here. All right. With that tip of your pen, do you mind touching with the tip of your finger? Like that. >> Why you shaking? >> Yeah. I don't know why. >> Why are you shaking so bad? >> Probably too much caffeine. >> I can't. What's going on? >> There you go. >> Okay. Oh, >> you got it. I know that. >> Whoa, bro. Whoa. Listen. Can somebody else hold the pen? >> No, I just have drank too much caffeine. Okay. Well, you see what it is, right? You touched it. >> Well, I'm just saying you're like this. >> Do you see the tip of my pen? >> I do. Okay. Okay. But can Can I record this or no? >> It's all record. >> It's all recorded on camera. >> I mean, your pen is doing this right here. >> It's pretty straight. >> Okay. It's pretty straight. >> Yeah, it's straight. >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> You touched it. You touched it. You're good. Put your hand down. Okay. >> So, the tip of the pen that you just touched with your tip of your finger, you're going to fall in with your eyes and your eyes only. Okay. Do not move your head. >> Good. >> Do you understand? >> Good. >> Do you mind taking your hands out of your pocket? >> Keep them straight to your side. Like I said, >> you're shaking a lot. >> Follow your eye. You're shaking what? >> What does that do? >> He stumbles through the first test and the officers are already close to making a call. Then with one more action, the man seals his own fate. >> Can you follow it? >> I'm following. Are you doing it? >> I'm doing Am I doing it? >> Can you just stop? >> Am I doing it or no? >> Can you stop talking? >> I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Right. >> Go ahead. Just follow it. >> Go ahead. >> Follow it. Do you feel comfortable walking in those? >> No, I don't. >> Do you mind taking them off? >> No, sir. >> I'm not walking in a straight line. There's no straight line here. There's no line here in the road. No sir. >> There's no straight line. >> You can't imagine a straight line or anything? >> Nope. I can't imagine. >> You know what we can do? There is a straight line. Walk over here. >> I'm not doing it. >> You're not. Just put your hands behind your back. >> No, sir. >> Put your hands behind my back. >> Why are you not going to say no to me when I tell you? Put your hands behind your back. >> Okay. I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not losing, sir. Then don't say no and don't push off. >> I'm not pushing you, sir. >> I'm not. >> I'm not being a buttthead, dude. Look, look. Why am I being a ripper? >> I will do what you want me to do. >> No, you're too late for that. You're You're being the No, you're too late. >> Wow. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> Check that buckle. What is Why the am I being arrested, man? I don't know why. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for all this. >> All right. So, >> based on that, your husband's under arrest for DUI. Okay. Just so you know, it's an enhancement as well because there's children under the age of 18 in the vehicle and due to his actions and my observation, DCF will be called on matter. >> Okay. >> Yeah. The catching Oh no, he will. >> So I So based on what my off my deputy here said, >> obviously the speeding. >> So we have them. We pulled him over. We made contact with him. >> I smell the alcohol in him in his in his breath. >> All right. >> They don't just serve glass to go on glass like that. >> Absolutely not. >> Things go from bad to worse when officers find a loaded firearm tucked away in the vehicle. >> So based on all that, I'd never accuse them of anything. I don't know if you could hear the conversation that I was having. No. >> So, all we did there was try to run him through field sobriety just to dispel our fears that he's able to operate the motor vehicle. He's not impaired in any sort. Okay. That's all it was. >> So, I showed him my driver's license. Your driver's license says it as well. Under your address, it says that perfor you have to do field sobriety. >> Mhm. >> I explained that to him. That kind of changed his mind cuz he said no. Just of him saying no once, I could have automatically taken him to jail. But I wanted to give him every opportunity to do it just to dispel my fears cuz like I said, I didn't want to accuse him of anything, right? Cuz you can drink. The issue comes now where you you're unable to operate the motor vehicle. The speeding down a school zone. I don't know if you can see this. It's not It's not an active school zone, but there's still children playing. I know there's baseball to practice on on Thursdays. You know what I'm talking about. >> Yes. >> Giving the area here. It's unacceptable, >> right? So I do it here. He started saying, "Oh, you're shaking. You're moving. You're all this." All he has to do, it doesn't matter if I'm shaking. All he has to do is just follow my my pen. He didn't want to he didn't wasn't want to doing it. He couldn't follow it. His eyes were like this. >> Mhm. >> All right. Which shows that his impairment level is is pretty high. Then I tried to do him to walk in just to do a walk and turn. At that time, like I said, never accuse him of anything. He's like, "Oh, I'm not doing it. I'm not." All I ask him, "Do you feel comfortable in the shoes that you're wearing? If you don't, take them off just to do this." "Oh, there's not a straight line here. I can't do it. Okay, well, we'll move over there where there's a straight line. No, I don't want to do it. So, I'm like, okay, if you don't want to do it, then you're going to jail. He obviously wanted to push away. Didn't want to turn around for me. Then that's where we're at. It's now evident that this wasn't a one-time lapse in judgment. And the man has a history of alcohol-related problems. Obviously, I did not want it to go that way cuz there's children. They're not 3 years old, so they're going to remember this for their whole life. That's not why we do our things, right? I'm sure this is probably the first interaction they've had with the with with law enforcement. Has it been? >> No. >> Okay. Well, I thought so. Obviously, I didn't want this to be their first one, right? Without them understanding. >> This is not They know exactly what's going on. Well, my oldest that was. Yeah. >> So, I'm going to I'm just going to ask you. >> Was he drinking at was what was in that in that? >> Oh, absolutely. It was um Jack and Coke cuz what he was I could I could smell >> He's been drinking since 1:00 today. >> Since 1:00. >> Yes. >> Okay. And he does that on a consistent basis. >> Oh yeah. >> Okay. I'm just going to get a Do you mind lock? >> The man was later charged with DUI, child endangerment, resisting arrest, and possession of a firearm in the course of committing a felony. Number one, when a father becomes the danger instead of the protector. This final case begins with a chilling 911 call about a man reportedly chasing a woman and a young girl along the shoulder of a highway. Multiple witnesses called it in, prompting a swift response from officers. And when officers arrive, the scene speaks for itself. >> What's going on? >> Hey, man. >> Yeah, that >> Hey, get over here. >> Turn turns back right now. Okay. I got five window. >> Just hop hop over here. Right. >> What's going on there? Like we didn't run out of gas. Just running like >> Yeah. That one you pass >> that white vehicle over there. >> Yeah. >> All right. And then she have a license, so I didn't want to really drive. You know what I mean? What? >> Give me a second. Try to figure this out. All right. >> Both mother and daughter are visibly shaken, but the officer still has to piece together what led to this terrifying moment. >> So, me and my daughter were just coming back from our vacation in Puerto Rico. we got in this this um afternoon late night this afternoon we live in Georgia so he was my my parents and I live in St. Cloud or my parents live in St. Wow. That's where we came. So, he didn't keep me up. And it was probably like 6 6:30 or whatever, but this is how far we made it. He's he's annihilated drunk. He He swerved he kicked my windshield in trying to take my phone and he swerved over from that lane all the way over here. So finally I >> but in my in the car I was doing it purposely because I'm leaving. I'm leaving. >> So he was driving recklessly >> on purpose. >> All right. Did he Did he >> And then I got to get out of the car. >> Did he touch you? >> Oh, no. Yeah, he did. You can ask her. Where did he strangle mommy at? >> He strangled you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Did he hit you or anything? Slap you or punch you or anything? >> Yeah, yeah, he slapped me right here >> in the mouth. Who you? >> That's my husband. >> That's your husband? Yeah, but it's gonna be >> Are you Are you willing to try to save me for me? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I want to move away. I want >> Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Situation >> because you know because this is this is >> medical attention. >> No, but I need to make sure that my daughter is going to be sick. >> Okay. Okay, that's fine. >> I don't want this. I don't want TCF involved. I just want to take my baby home and >> so we're here now. We'll figure everything out. Okay. Take a breather. Okay. Just take a breather. >> Just take a moment. Gather everything. >> Take a moment. Gather everything up. Okay. I'm going to put that piece of paper. All right. >> Put it on. Very funny. >> Now it's the man's turn to answer questions as officers try to piece together what led to the 911 calls. >> You want to read them? >> What's that? >> You want to read them and see if you want to give a statement? All right. >> Okay. You tell me what's um So you you're telling me you were just running out of gas car? >> No, I don't know what it is. to like run with the >> Okay. >> And then she was driving but she ain't got her license. So I was like I pulled over and pulled over and then she got mad as started acting crazy. >> Whose car is it? >> It's her car. It's her car. >> Who has the keys? >> She does. She was driving. >> Okay. She was driving, right? >> She's driving this way. >> Yeah, but she she ain't got no license. So that's why I was like, "Here, pull over." You know what I mean? Once we get on this on this interstate out there, let me drive. Okay, let's go to >> Sorry. You have ID on you or anything? >> No. >> Where you guys coming from? >> Georgia. >> Sorry. But we came from Georgia 6 and then we came to Indiana store items on the side of the building. >> Jeffrey Jeffrey Moore [Music] just >> you got more money in this wallet. >> Hey, I'm going to throw the rest money in your wallet. All right. >> You want it in your wallet? >> Money? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> All right. You want you want her to have anything on you? >> Have you have have you uh have to see in the car real quick? All right. >> Uh yeah, I I guess she's going to have to >> Yes. >> anything. >> Despite the serious allegations, the man continues to deny his wife's claims. So officers read him his rights and give him one more opportunity to be honest. >> She got an ID and stuff. >> I I don't know. I haven't got that far. >> Male black clothing. >> All right, man. I'm going to read you something. Okay. And you guys I need yes or no if you understand them. Okay. >> It's just cuz I ask you questions. Okay. >> You have the right to remain silent if you understand. >> I need yes or no. >> I can basically >> and then you say maybe use against you in a court. Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questions.

Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to? >> Okay. You want to talk to me? >> All right. Um, >> what's going on here, man? >> There's more there's more than what you're telling me. We've been arguing for like months. So, I mean, >> I just drove all the way down from Kingston, Georgia today to pick her up. >> Okay. So, >> what brought you guys to pull over and get off the road? That's what I'm trying to do. >> No, because that's that she's acting crazy. I just want to stay here with my mom. >> No, she's like, I just want to stay here with my mom. I don't want to be with you. >> Okay. >> So, what made you guys pull over? >> She pulled over. She was driving. >> She was driving? Yeah. >> Or you were driving? >> No, she was driving. Yeah, I told her to get on the interstate and let me drive. >> Gotcha. >> And she's like, >> "Well, >> so we'll make her get out of the car and you get out of the car >> and start going on the the road walking over here." >> Because I told her take me to Banell. Where's my the truck is? You know what I mean? >> Okay. >> I just want to go there. >> Why' she get out of the car? >> She because she wanted to go to Banell. That's why I don't understand.

So we moved to Georgia, started our own lawn maintenance business, very successful. I thought he was over the D.
