We find out his side of things, and officers ask why he just left his son alone with someone that was so disorderly. >> What happened tonight? >> He was uh arguing with a girlfriend, I guess, or someone. So, that was about 10:30. Then I I sent him a text. Hey, can you please keep it low? Like, okay. Well, he read my message, but uh he continued. So, I called him and he said, "Okay."
