At first that's what he gave her the card for but he didn't he came over to do that. He didn't know none of that was going to happen. My marriage just didn't. So >> Okay. So, did Tommy go to the store with you guys or did >> No, he sent me and my mom cuz my mom don't have a car, so we had to walk to the store. >> Okay. About what time did you get there? >> Uh it was like dark outside, so maybe like >> Okay. >> 7:00 8:00 >> Okay. But you used Tommy's card. >> Yeah, he gave it to my mom to >> Okay. Okay. But then when was your mom telling you to take money out of it? >> Um which we came back in here.

Turns out he didn't He didn't have $30 on the card anyway that they were trying to steal them for, so >> And so you came back from the store with your mom and she's telling you to do that. What did your mom do after that? >> Them two went back there in the room and everything was fine. Me and my brother was asleep cuz uh my daughter she was going to but me and my brother was asleep.

They're either fussing somebody's like fighting something. Me and my brother come out and then yeah, they make they throw the man's shoes off everything. They do it to where it's in the living room and I'm sitting right here and they're literally beside me all doing it. So at this point I'm just watching it. >> Okay. >> And the female police officer came. I told her like everything it was and all that. >> Yeah. And then did both of the guys have a gun? >> Um no. It was a Did y'all get it? It's a silver one, right? >> Okay. >> It's um It's not PeeWee's gun. It's Donovan's gun, but Donovan gave it to PeeWee. >> Okay. >> So PeeWee was the one that had it and he was the one that was aiming it at us. >> But you heard your mom say like just give up give us your stuff. Just give us your >> Yeah, he was She was like just cooperate. Just saying stuff like that cuz if he you know he's going to do it. He's going to shoot you, you know.

And she's going to tell everybody like me and my brother snitches so she's trying to like hide and stuff like that. >> Who's the other guy? >> Pee Wee? >> Yeah, Pee Wee. Who is he? >> That's my mom's boyfriend. Like they be like they be back there like they do drugs and stuff together so like one they rob the people for that reason too cuz she sits there and sells her stuff too.

She ain't been home two days. >> Have you ever seen your mom do this before? >> Set somebody up? >> Yeah. >> I haven't seen it as bad but like she will invite men over here or whatever and then he will come in here and like they'll fight them and then most of the time they give them what they want though cuz I mean Pee Wee is a big guy. >> Okay. When When's the last time before the Tommy thing that you had seen that? >> I'll say probably like three weeks or something like that. >> Okay. >> Cuz normally it's just like them two are fighting over but then like when they get low on money you know they got to set stuff up so I guess >> How does your mom set it up? >> Honestly, I don't know cuz like I'm I only know when I hear fighting and stuff then I know something's going on but I'm assuming like she sneaks off cuz he don't know she has a phone and she sneaks on her phone and texts them on messenger. She She does it like that. That's the only way she could. She knows a lot of people out here. >> Okay. But it's your understanding that whenever they're low on funds to get drugs, she'll invite another guy over and then and then Pee Wee will come in there and take their stuff? >> Yep. >> Take the money and whatnot? >> Yeah, and Pee and sometimes um my mom would try to do it herself and try to stick with it for it.
