I kept begging him to let me just go. I said I don't want to fight. I don't want to argue. Swap me around the bathroom. He choked me against the wall. >> Can you do me a favor? I ask this too. Could you please tell her to stick to her story that she was kidnapped unless we get her immunity? Please. That's really important to show.

[laughter] >> He broke out these doors. He back there. >> All right, that's going to be our suspect. >> Clearly, she'd been severely traumatized by her attacker. The woman's trembling body showed the shock she'd been through. When the officer entered the apartment, she barely had the strength to tell him what the suspect had done to her. >> Okay. What? What [laughter] happened? What happened? It's [laughter] >> Hey, what happened? [laughter] >> He came here with another girl. >> Okay. >> I told him I didn't want to talk. I would just leave. [laughter] He tried to force me to talk. He trapped me back there in that bathroom for like an hour. I kept begging him to let me just go. I said, "I don't want to fight. I don't want to argue.

Were you guys in a dating relationship? >> Yeah. >> He was your boyfriend or is >> Well, was like we just broke up like yesterday. >> Okay. Okay. The victim here, Jamea, had an injured foot, so he let the woman sit down. Through her tears, she described what the victim had done to her. Meanwhile, she talked on the phone with her twin brother, who was her only nearby relative. >> He broke my fingers. >> No. >> Yeah. >> What you mean broke your fingers? >> Broke my fingers. [laughter] and he slapped my hand in the door and hurt myself to [screaming] about to go to the ambulance right now because he broke the hair. He tried to make me stay here while he was here with this >> and I kept trying to leave. He trapped me up in here. >> HE PULLED OVER WITH THE POLICE RIGHT NOW. Just to let you know, it sounds like it sounds like sounds like they got him. >> I swear to God, I'm on my way. >> He's They said it sound like the police got him >> cuz he just he's the police said it sound like they just got him. >> My partner's got the car that he he said he was in. [laughter] >> He broke my finger. I tried TO TELL HIM I WANT TO GO TO THE AMBULANCE. I NEED HELP. He want to give me help. >> So the am Hey, the ambulance is on their way. Paramedics soon arrived and they thoroughly examined the woman in the ambulance. By that time, she was slightly calmer and she explained to one of the officers what happened earlier that day. >> You guys married? What? >> We're just dating. I stay out of town, so I got the room out here. >> This is this a little one of his. [crying] Okay. >> Oh, they're taking care of it. They're giving her band-aid. >> Can you hold that? >> Go ahead, ma'am. >> So, he came and um when he came, we got into a um altercation. Now, I didn't even know that there was any female in the car with him. I just knew he came in and we started arguing. I told him I didn't want to be with him anymore. I said, "I don't want to talk to you no more." >> Like, I'm tired of fighting with you. Like, we've been fighting every day. I just don't want to be with you no more. >> He tried to like make me keep talking to him and like and I'm like, you know, I I'm fine. I just don't want to be with you. So after that I when I went to try to leave and I opened the door >> uh the room door I see the girls in the car and I'm like are you serious? Like you was going to really the same female that we've been arguing about for days. I'm like you going to have her pull up where my room is where me and my kid is. Like are you serious? So then we was arguing about that. I'm like you know I'm just going to go. So I tried to leave. Then that's when he pushed me all the way in the room to the bathroom. He closed the door and he held me in there for like 30 to 45 minutes. I kept trying to get out. I kept begging him, crying, tell him to let me out. He wouldn't let me out. Um, when I tried to leave, he slammed slammed like slam me around with the bathroom. He choked me against the wall. >> She painfully recalled the attack again and again. She'd been treated by her ex with shocking brutality. Even worse, he'd done it right in front of her child who witnessed every moment. >> He was just holding me in there. Then when I finally got up, I had to run out the door and >> he slammed the door and my hands in my face and then like I was just hurt in the corner. I kept begging him like to take me to the doctor and he was trying to like force me to put my hands in the water and I was like that's not going to help. like he kept trying to wipe my face with a towel and stuff and I just asked him like just let me go to the hospital just let me go to the hospital and he wouldn't let me and then I finally got off the room and that's when everybody else outside seemed like he was trying to drag me out the car and still trying to like force me back here >> the car that he >> was trying to force me like out the car cuz I when I ran out the roof I tried to run in the car like and try to drive off or something He had to drive me back into the room and then he tried to in the car, >> huh? >> That woman was in the car. >> Yeah, he tried to have that that that woman take my baby back in the room, too. >> The officer asked Jamea what she wanted to do about her attacker. She clearly stated that she wanted to press charges. The cops were already on his trail and soon caught up with the man in his car. >> Hey, step out of the car. Ontario. >> Okay. Step to the back of the car for me, please. >> Hi. Here. You got anything I need to know, Bob? >> What's that? >> I'm just going to check you real quick. All right. >> Yeah. >> Put you in the right way. That's the battery, buddy. >> The officer informed the suspect, Amari Baker, that he'd be spending the night in jail. While he didn't seem surprised, he also didn't take it that well. Amomari then asked to talk to his current girlfriend. >> I got you. I'm talking. You're going to be okay. >> Hey, Jess. >> No, no, no. We're not carrying everybody yet in a quick wallet. >> Want your wallet? We'll grab your stuff. >> What do you want from the car? >> Want a wallet? Would I be able to make a bar? Make make a bail. Let's make a bar. >> When you go to the judge, you got to go see a judge. Okay. >> Hey, I'm letting you answer all your questions. >> All right. >> Let's go. >> Let's go. I'll give you a wallet. >> Go get your wallet. >> Call right now. Come speak to my grandma before y me. >> Here. You can you can make as many phone calls as you want back to the PD. There's no limit. There's no limit. All right. >> Amaria right at the jail house that he quickly stepped out of the car, claiming he was claustrophobic. If being in an air conditioned police cruiser was too much for this guy, he should have thought how it was for his ex-girlfriend who he'd locked in the bathroom for 45 minutes. >> Now, once again, can you explain to me how I'm charged with the domestic? >> I told you. >> I told you we were going to explain it to you. >> Why? Why? Why we got to wait? We It's called walk and talk. >> Walking tall. Walking tall. Multitask. That's what I do anyway. Multit. >> Oh, by the way, see this red light?

This is the stone. This is the stone. >> All right. Like I told you, it'd be there. All right. Do you want to hang tight for a minute? [snorts] Can you take these? >> What I say? Hang tight for a minute. All right. >> They eventually charged the man with domestic battery. Hopefully, Jamaala can recover from her trauma and as far as her child goes, she'll never witness such abuse again. It was January 22nd, 2025 in Chicago, and the cops were dispatched to a domestic battery call. After her ex started fighting with her over money, a woman was heard screaming for her life. The man pushed her during the altercation, ripping off one of her fingernails. When the officers got there, they found the suspect trying to flee and confronted him. >> Do not L. Okay. Okay. I believe I'm I'm begging you, bro. I did not hit her, bro. She grabbed my chain cuz it's >> Lu. L I swear. >> Okay, let's get out of the street so you don't get it by >> I just want my phone.

Hands behind your back. Hands behind your back. >> Hands behind your back. >> Hands now. Put your hands behind your back now. >> Give me your other hand now. >> During the struggle with police, the suspect's nose was hit and started bleeding. That only irritated him further as he was already upset with the situation, believing he was innocent. >> It's over now. Okay. >> No, it's not over until I say it's over, you mother. >> You like to bust my nose? of the Walmart inject. >> I'm on the ground. >> Stop pushing up. >> Who's pushing up? You >> all right?

Soon after, another cop arrived on scene and Lewis started screaming and cursing again. >> My face. >> I didn't mean to do that. >> You seems terrified, mother. find out who he is. Does he believe that? >> The victim then came out of the house and it was clear they had an explosive relationship. They started arguing and insulting each other in front of the cops and the officers tried to deescalate things. >> He took her phone. >> Yeah, because they got my phone. >> I don't have his phone. >> Oh, youing liar. She's She's from church and she's aing liar. She's got the death loose right now. Stay over there, miss. Do me a favor. You mother stay here, bro.

The way these two were arguing, it was clear they should never be together again. The officer searched the man's pockets for a razor blade, but couldn't find one. >> There's no razor blade in there. Look, >> I just described it. A red one. How stupid can you be? I just seen it. >> That's a razor blade. >> What the think it is? >> Stupid bunch of rookies. These are bunch of rookies, man. Rookies.

Can you just try to get my It's It's breaking the bruise on my wrist, man. >> It's not breaking. >> It's hurting my wrist. >> You're struggling. >> No, I'm not even doing nothing.

He'd been injured during the struggle, so they offered him medical attention, but Luis took time instead to try and convince the cops that it was all his ex's fault. Check this one right here, bro. Cuz it's hurting my wrist. This one. Ah, it's on my bone right there. >> All right, hold on. You got cuff key. >> I'm not going to do about this. >> I'm going to grab that.

She didn't want to give me my phone. >> And I didn't hit her. I came back and I told her, "You need to get out. They're not going to do nothing, man. There you go. >> See, >> there you go. >> These guys don't listen to me, bro. >> That's Whose house? >> You got it on the bone again, puppy. >> You can fit a whole finger in there. You're fine.

Instead of chilling out a bit, he decided to put on another show. >> Carry me, mother. Carry me, mother. You mother a you police officers a surprise for you, mother. I got a surprise for you, father. >> Steve Greenberg going to take care of Joliet. >> Don't worry. That lawyer is the best lawyer in Chicago. >> The man refused any medical attention and instead he wanted to be taken straight to jail where he thought his lawyer would fix everything. When he was placed in the squad car, he continued cursing and insulting the officer and he even started singing. >> Bunch of puss puss. You [ __ ] your puss cops. BAD BOYS. BAD BOYS. What you going to do? What you going to do when I come for you? I'm going to show you how bad I am. Mother, I'M A BAD [screaming] BOY. BAD BOY. BAD BOYS. WHAT YOU GOING TO DO? What you GONNA DO WHEN I COME FOR YOU? Bad boy. Bad boy. I'm a bad boy, mother. As he continued cursing and speaking erratically, Luis was [music] transported to jail and he was charged with domestic battery and resisting a peace officer. On the 4th of November 2025, the cops responded to a call from a private residence. A man was asking for help trying to remove his ex-girlfriend from the property. As the woman couldn't show the cops any proof of residence, she was ordered to leave the house. >> All right, let's go. >> Let's go. We're not waiting. Let's go. Come on. It requires that you walk to your car. Let's go. I I promise you this. This is this is the last opportunity. You go to jail, you're going to sit in jail and we don't want to hear you crying [music] and saying, "I won't do it again." Because at that point, we've we've crossed that line of departure. You're going to sit there and and you're not going to come back here cuz we'll just go to the judge and say that this trespassing act will not stop. Hold her until her court date. You're choosing this. We're not choosing this for you, but we're being very patient and very kind because in normal situations, we would already been on our way to the jail with you. So, you have to start walking. Let's go. >> Despite the officer's orders, she refused to leave the property and stood her ground. She asked the cops for more time, but they denied her request, and that's when things escalated. >> Don't touch me. >> Don't touch me. Please don't. >> You're going to go to jail. >> Don't touch me. >> Walk out where you want to jail. >> Walk out. >> Don't touch me. >> Walk or not. Walk. >> Don't touch me. >> I don't want to let you guys go. >> She eventually left the property followed by the cops. She got into her car and sat there for a while and the cops waited patiently for her to leave, but then she [music] stepped out. As soon as she did so, the officers quickly reacted. I'm not doing anything. >> Oh, please. I'm leaving. I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave. I'm leaving. Okay. I'm I promise I'm leaving. >> I'm leaving. Ow. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I promise. I'm leaving. [laughter] >> I'm leaving. >> I'm sleeping. Okay. So quickly I want to take you down. >> Please stop. Please stop. Please stop. I'm leaving. >> This one's good. >> I said I would leave. >> Yeah. Too late. We gave you like a thousand opportunities. >> I told you to get out of the car and I guess what I did. I did. I got out of my car. >> No, you got out of your car. You tried to chase through. >> I wasn't. >> Already in handcuffs. [music] She was begging to be released. The cops responded that they'd given her every chance to leave, but she completely [music] ignored them. When they tried to place her in a squad car, she threw a full-blown tantrum. >> I'm going to leave. Please. I'm scared. Please. Please. I can't. I can't. Please help me. >> We're past that. I'm I promise I will be free. I can't do this to my family. >> I can't do this to my family. Please, please, >> PLEASE. >> Stop kicking me. >> Stop kicking me. >> I want I scared. I'M SCARED. >> [screaming] >> I GOT IT. I GOT IT. >> She was whining to the cops, begging to be let go. And at the very same time, she resisted the officers and was being completely uncooperative. Eventually, one of the cops went around the vehicle and pulled her in from the other side, which only made her tantrum worse. >> Stop resisting. >> Please. I beg you out. >> Get in. >> That hurts. That hurts. >> Get in the car. >> You are hurting. Sit in your car. What are you doing? >> Because I don't want to be arrested. I don't want to be under >> You're already under arrest. >> I'm sorry. >> You're already under arrest. >> I don't want to. >> You should have listened. >> And I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry. >> Stop. [laughter] >> Are you buckling me? [crying] Stop. >> Please. >> Please. Please. [screaming] >> She just peed myself. You [screaming] >> my bladder. My bladder. She behaved extremely recklessly and clearly she was testing the cops patience. The cops had gotten tired of it and her desperate resistance just irritated them more. >> Seriously, this is ridiculous. >> Stop it. Stop. Stop. >> You're being ridiculous. >> You're acting like you're 10. >> You're going to get yourself hurt or one of us hurt. Sit there and be an adult. Tired of talking to you like you're two. >> I don't care at this point. We're done. Stop kicking. >> Stop. >> Hold at me. Can you hold at me over there? >> Yep. >> That's what I didn't want. >> You guys lied to me. >> They lied to me. >> You should took your out of here. >> You're right. I should have, but I needed a second. >> Shut up. >> Shut up. >> Shut your mouth. You wouldn't be here if you taking your out of here when they asked you. >> Yeah. You you what? >> You wouldn't be in this situation. Taking yourself out of here when you asked. >> Yeah. And you know what? I was going to >> They left her alone in the back seat and she began to calm down from her outburst. When she realized that her next stop was going to be the jail house, she started begging the cop for mercy. >> I already went through so much with him. Is there anything you can do just to still prevent this from going even worse? >> Can you at least not charge me with something that's going to be I don't know. I I'm scared of that. >> I think uh I think you have to learn about consequences. >> I never did anything like this. How long am I going to be there for just so I can prepare myself? >> Please don't charge me with anything that will hurt me. Please, I'm sorry. >> She was taken to jail and charged with criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, and aggravated battery on a peace officer. On the 17th of October 2024, a woman named Meline called police about her ex-boyfriend who had repeatedly harassed her, both over the phone and physically. When the officers got there, they spoke to the woman, Meline, as well as her mother. Clearly, you don't like this guy, huh? >> No. >> All right. So, hi, Mom. >> Hi. >> I apologize again. >> That's okay. >> Um, for future reference, though, if you think it's him, don't answer. >> Um, so tell me what happened today. >> Um, well, we have spoke already, and I know that's horrible because I'm >> Who did? >> Me and Jake have since I got the restraining order, me and him have spoke, which I know not allowed. >> But he when I was at work this morning, I wasn't answering his text because I was at work. So within 15 minutes, he called me over 15 times on fake numbers. Um so my boss answered it or my not my boss, my manager answered it and >> called he called what phone? >> My phone. My phone. >> Your phone while you're at work? >> Yes. Okay. >> Off of fake numbers. [music] Okay. Um, and then so I told my manager about it because he was blowing [music] my phone up while I was trying to work. And she took my phone and answered it when he called and introduced herself as my boss and told him that he can no longer contact me and that my phone's going to stay in her office the rest of the day so I can do my job. Um, and he cussed my manager out. >> The suspect, Jacob, had not only called Meline. She soon told police that he'd not only contacted her boss, but also her manager. Disguising his voice, he told them a disturbing yet fabricated story. >> Like an hour and a half later, I got called to my boss's office with both my managers and my boss sitting in there and they pretty much explained to me that he had called them pretending [music] that he worked in a hospital saying that he was in the ICU for self-inflicted gunshot wound and that I need to leave work and come. >> Okay. And he called the office phone. >> He called my work. Yeah, >> he called your work the the phone at work though, right? Okay. And they had answered. >> How many times did he call? >> I'm not sure how many times he called there. >> Clearly, they were dealing with a persistent stalker. Aside from Meline and her employers, he also did the same to her mother. The woman and her mother shed more light on the man's behavior. >> He's called me about 20 times in the past hour. >> Okay. I can probably >> from his phone number >> random text now >> and like no caller ID but I switched my phone number today >> but one two >> so he doesn't know your number now >> he got it again somehow >> okay >> 7 8 9 10 11 12 >> 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 >> 23 He's called me 23 It was clearly harassment. But there was also the question of why Meline filed a protection order against him yet continued talking to him. So the officers asked [music] her about it. >> Why did you file for a protection order and then you start talking to him again? >> Because I'm stupid. I don't have like a actual answer. I don't know. But the reason for it is because him and his three friends following me, trying to block me on the road, trying to run me off the road. um getting out of the car and banging on my windows and he ended up running into my car while I was driving. >> How long ago did you file this protection order and was it served? >> I mean, I know it was served him, but when when was it served? Do you know? >> Not even 6 months ago, right? >> So, it wasn't recently. >> I'd say like three or four months probably. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And how long have you been talking to him since? >> Not at all. Would you say like a week, two weeks? >> We talked like two months ago. We talked for like a week and then we went no contact again and then he started texting me like two days ago. >> And did you guys try to reconcile the relationship or something? Was that the reason for talking with him? >> No, I don't know. He I don't know. >> Meline shared that she'd clearly told the man multiple times that she didn't want to get back together. Despite that, he hadn't taken her seriously and had started violating the protective order. Understandably, her mother was angry at the man already. >> He's an idiot. He knows what I'm doing. Like, he's scares me. Like, what kind of stupid are you? >> Yeah. Before we had the restraining order or anything, he's trespassed from my dad's house, too. So, he's trespassed from my dad's house and there's no protection. >> As far as Meline went, she knew that talking to the man involuntarily was a mistake. It might be that she still had feelings for him, but it was clearly a toxic relationship. The officer explained to her that a mistake like that could cost her in court. >> It kind of defeats the purpose when [music] you reach out to him, talk to him protection order, so it has less of a meaning. >> Yeah. So, um, I'll talk to my supervisor and see if he just wants me to forward this case to the prosecutor and see if the prosecutor wants to go forward with charges. [music] Typically, when people get protection orders, they really don't want to talk to that person or be and contact it at all. Um, and it is a court order and it's restful. So, we normally go out and arrest people when they violate a court order, but because you've been talking [music] to him and so now he probably feels like he can talk to you, >> right? However, technically he's not supposed to cuz there's court order, right? >> And he should have been told that when served that even though she reached out to you, you cannot violate this protection, right? >> Meanwhile, the cops had detained Jacob already. Despite a protection order prohibiting any contact, he'd violated the order multiple times, so the cops didn't waste their time. >> Hello. >> Come with me. Want to go right over here to my patrol car. Okay. My man, turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Palms together, my man. >> Palms together? >> Yep. >> What? >> Separate your feet for me. You have anything in your pockets, my man? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. You want to take your property to the jail with you? >> Uh, yes. >> You want your necklace or anything to go with you or you want? >> Yes, please. Can you push my glasses up for me when I sit down? >> How's that? Good. >> All right. Man, have a seat. >> They put him in the back of a squad car and read him his Miranda rides. The officer then began to question the man, trying to find out if he'd called the woman's workplace using a disguised voice and a restricted number. >> I'm trying to I'm just trying to wrap my head around the situation. Okay. >> Yes, I did. >> You called her work today? >> Yes, I did. >> Okay. And you talked to her boss? >> Um, I don't recall speaking I don't recall the name of the person I spoke to, but I did speak to somebody. >> It was her boss. That's who you talked to. Okay. What did you say to her boss? Um, I told her that somebody had been uh shot and it was an emergency contact. >> Somebody did you >> I didn't say my name. No. >> Okay. >> All right. And then you made multiple calls to Meline today. >> Um, I made four, I believe. >> Okay. Multiple, right? More than just one. Okay. And did you talk to Meline? >> Um, I did talk to her. I previously talked to her as well. She called me multiple times uh on Saturday and Sunday. She's called me multiple times before then. I talked to her um I talked Julia today, but I talked to her for a limited amount of time and I told her that I can't I can't I cannot keep in contact with >> Okay. Did you call her mom, too? >> I didn't call her mom, but her mom has no potential. >> I understand that. >> What did you say to her mom? Uh, I didn't really get the chance to talk to her. Actually, I didn't really say anything to him. >> Okay. >> After hearing him out, the cops explained to the man he'd be taken to jail and see a judge the next morning. For his part, he tried to avoid what was coming, and he asked the cops if there was any alternative. >> There's no bail. >> I don't know. You can ask the jail staff. I don't deal with bails. That's something that the jail's um more familiar with because they're the ones that talk to the judge and the judge is the one that sets the bail. And then I do have a question for you. Is jail like prison? >> You ever been to the Green County Jail before? >> No. >> It's not nice. >> It's not a nice place. >> They're bad people. >> Well, yeah. That's jail. >> No. [laughter] I mean, like I'm not trying to get >> um I mean the the jail staff is is there to protect you. So I I don't I wouldn't worry too much about that. Um I don't I don't take many sexual assault cases from the jail. Um, if you if I'm being completely honest with you, I do take assault cases from the jail. That's about it, though. >> He was eventually taken to Green County Jail. He'd be set to face a judge the next morning and answer for his charges. It was shortly after 5:00 p.m. on August 22nd, 2023, when the cops in Yavapai, Arizona, responded to a female in distress. Earlier that day, she'd handed an alarming note to a customer at a gas station which said she'd been kidnapped. Soon after, the cops caught up with the car where the victim was believed to be. >> You good here, bro? >> What are you going to talk to her real quick? What's going on today? >> He took me my house in Mesa and he's had me ever since. He took everything. He had me duct taped to the car. Okay. >> Do you know this guy? >> I do. >> Who is he? [snorts] >> My ex-boyfriend. >> Is your ex-boyfriend? Do you have the restraining order on? >> You do. >> I do. >> According to the woman, the kidnapper was Jacob Wilhoy, a 41-year-old man who was her ex-boyfriend. She told the cops she had a protective order against him. The man had already been taken to a squad car. The victim then showed the officers something very disturbing. >> He's not there. >> Back here. >> So he pretty much held you captive. >> I got to figure out who's taking this. But there are zip ties in the car. guy has guns in here and poss and from what the 101's saying is that she was kidnapped from Mesa. >> The victim here was visibly terrified. While she was in a traumatic situation, she still managed to hand her note to the gas station customer saying she'd been kidnapped. Inside the woman's note, there was a description of the vehicle at their destination in Las Vegas. >> So, some somebody reported you missing and in danger down there. >> Good. Thank you. So, so what we're what I'm doing right now is my sergeant's having Mesa PD contact them >> and then we're going to assist them in any way we need to. >> Okay. >> Um, regarding this, our detectives may come up and talk to you. It's >> fine. >> Again, do not need me to call medical or anything like that. >> I want to call my parents. >> The victim was led to another squad car and simultaneously the cops had a chance to question Jacob. Right off the bat, Jacob started telling a spectacular and heroic version of events. >> She has been part of a 10 year. >> Okay. >> We just saved six women. Six of them were in Utah. We got out that were under command. Okay. >> One of them just left. One of one of them left earlier two weeks ago from California. Another one just left yesterday from California. They've given over a thousand documents. The border patrol is getting us a amity, whatever it's called. They're doing forensics right now up there that we're going to get us both trying to get to Vegas and get out of the country. >> Okay. Where are you guys going to go to outside the country? >> Uh I don't know. They have the the DOJ or whatever whoever does there has a has a a tip back. getting us drugs information on her and we finally got her to say, "Okay, let's go." But she's been she traumatized back and forth. It's It's been It's been terrible. So, people are able to call the gentleman who we communicate with. He's working directly with Department of Defense and two federal judges, one of which is here in the state. >> The cops listened to the man's story, but it contradicted the victim's account. Jacob's story about some human trafficking operation sounded highly questionable. Are you working with somebody right now? >> Yeah, working with three different agencies. >> Who? >> What agencies? >> The DOJ. >> Okay. >> The feds and the federal judge is working on it and the what are the hell they're called? The war patrol is the ones that actually gets the rent the fastest. >> He was telling a crazy story that both shocked and confused the cops. Meanwhile, the victim was telling a completely different version. In that version, neither she nor Jacob were protected informants on a human trafficking case. The woman soon gave the cops more details about how her ex had managed to kidnap her. >> When did he end up taking you today? >> Um, we we slept up in the van um, last night. >> So, he took you yesterday? >> He took me Monday morning. I went to drop my car off at Kia and my car's still there >> at Kia. >> Mhm. >> So, you dropped your car off at Kia to get maintenance done or >> Yeah. had an oil change and then he he met me there and he showed up with a wig on. >> He showed up with a wig on. [laughter] >> He was there with a wig in the back >> and that's when Did he grab you and force you in the car or >> No, I thought it was an Uber. >> Oh, she thought it was a Uber and then realized Did he take the wig off after or? >> Yeah. >> So, you did you order an Uber? >> No. >> So, >> I was waiting and then he called me and he said, "I ordered you an Uber." And I walked up to the car and then he told me to get in. >> So, he told you he ordered you an Uber? Yeah. He called like >> And then you pulled you got in and then he took a wig the wig off. >> Yeah. >> The plot here was like something made for the movies. As far as Jacob went, he'd shown disturbing creativity in luring his ex into captivity. Meanwhile, in the suspect's car, the cops found a handgun, multiple zip ties, and also a wig. >> So, you got her out of there. When did the duct tape and the zip ties come into play? It's >> like duct tape and the zip ties. >> Yeah, duct tape and zip ties. There's all kind of stuff in there right now. I didn't know what we're going to get to. >> Okay. How come she was zip tied? >> She wasn't zip tied. >> She wasn't? >> I don't see that ties on her. >> So, right here is where the duct tape was. >> Yeah. >> And where did he tape you to? >> To the back of the seat. >> To the back. >> To the seat. Not the back seat, but the driver's the passenger. >> So, were your arms behind you or in front of you? >> They were in front of you? >> In front of you. Were they zip tied to? >> They were zip tied to my legs. He had my thighs and my legs to zip tight my arms and then he zip tied my head to the seat. >> Despite the marks on the victim's body, he continued to deny that he'd zip tied her or used duct tape on her. Instead, he developed a really bizarre story, saying that actually he'd saved her from a trafficking ring. >> Duct tape on her at all. She was fine. We just we just had the driver fly off. So she was I mean she was driving the car in the last gas station. You can go check the you go check the the cameras last gas station. She like drove the car and she's fine. She was having cigarettes and it was just fine. She's just she's very what's happened to her is so traumatic that she's going back. I don't know if you have anything to anything with like victims but they go back and forth all the time for you were able to talk to the people. It's fine. Just arrest me until the till the powers. So, when did you come in contact with her? >> I've known her for the last year and a half. >> Okay. >> Probably for like the last 3 years. I didn't know she was actually being trafficked until last September. >> I guess I do question. How do you know her? >> Well, she originally started working for me like 3 years ago and then just became close and in the last 6 months we've been dating and then the last six months there being discrepancies and we figured it out and since then that's when we started working agency. In the stories the man told, he was remarkably inventive and even had a poker face to match it. He soon brought up some mysterious individuals and he even started talking about the Department of Defense. >> I have nothing right now cuz I'll come tomorrow. But if you call the on my phone that that that burner phone's in there after so they could track us cuz you called. >> Which one's the burner phone? >> The big one that's out there that's unwrapped right now. >> It's the one that's in the passenger door. >> No, there's one that's unwrapped. >> Yeah, that that's the one that's unwrapped. It seems like a trio. I think it's called a trio or something. >> If you guys call the last number on it, the last two numbers, there's 928 number. That gentleman has been helping us. And there's a 520. The 520 number is a direct contact with the North Department of Defense, Border Patrol, and with the feds. He can tell you everything that's going on. That's what I was saying. There's I don't know. I don't know how we can just let her go physically. >> So, they're trying So, what you're trying to do is trying to get her out of the country to get her away from trafficking. >> What we're trying to do is we're trying to get her out of the state. get we're trying to get her to get to Vegas so we can get on a plane. We can get her out of the country because they're trying to try to kill her. We just got, like I said, seven girls out. >> Naturally, the cops found it hard to believe the man's wild stories. Later on, they called one of the numbers he'd mentioned, and the person who answered claimed they didn't even know the man. Jacob's bizarre claims did not end there. >> Whose vehicle is that? We just bought it to get her out. You guys just bought it? >> I just bought it to get her out. >> Where'd you buy it from? >> Um, some gentleman. Do you know the last name, first name? >> No, I literally just bought it like yesterday. >> You just bought it yesterday. >> Get her out. >> Okay. >> Cuz her vehicles have tracking on it. Her phone has tracking on it. My phone has tracking on it. So, we got a vehicle that was not registered to anyone that was run to the mill to try to get her out. We're literally trying to save her. >> Okay. >> And I know it sounds >> So, where did where did you contact her yesterday? You're saying you got the vehicle yesterday. You contacted her yesterday. When did you contact her? Where? >> Um, you went to breakfast or coffee or something? >> Breakfast or coffee? >> Yeah. Oh, no. I picked her up at the picked her up at her her car was getting the oil changed, so I picked her up. >> Okay. Did you call and tell her you got her an Uber? >> No. >> Telling you guys, she's scared. You guys put her in jail. She finally taken out. So hopefully hopefully they get her out before they find out that she's been killed. >> The suspect stories and the victim story completely contradicted each other. The victim then explained to the cops how the man eventually removed the duct tape and zip ties which allowed her to move around inside the gas station. Shortly after she was able to pass her note to the customer, >> told me that if I said anything, I was going to get hurt. So I just played along with him. >> Okay. >> I had to play along. I had to tell him I loved him and told him that I wouldn't be there. >> Okay. Cuz once I did that, he started letting me untype. >> Okay. So he started once once you started going along with his game, >> then he let me go. >> That's when he >> he let me >> let you go let you go inside the gas station and do all that. >> Yeah. He followed me in the gas station everywhere I went. But he started being more lenient with me. >> According to the woman's account, she'd endured a truly traumatic kidnapping. But since Jacob had other claims, they then asked the woman about the man's human trafficking story. He He's giving us some story. You're part of some kind of trafficking ring or some >> I'm a bookkeeper. I'm like literally a accountant. >> For what company? >> I'm I He got me fired. >> He got you fired? >> Yeah. >> How did he get you fired? >> He called and claimed that he was Mesa PD and my work didn't want the drama. >> Okay. Have you ever been endangered or anything like that? Do you feel like people are after you wanting to kill you or anything? >> No. >> Literally crazy. After hearing the victim's account, the cops had made their mind up. As they got ready to take him to jail, he made an unusual request. >> Can you do me a favor? I ask gentlemen this too. Can you please tell her to stick to her story that she was kidnapped unless we get her immunity, please? That's really important that she really >> stick to her story. >> Stick to her story. Stick to her story about being kidnapped unless we get her immunity from Border Patrol. Otherwise, stick to it. Otherwise, they're kill I know it sounds crazy, but just tell her to crucify me. literally crucify me and say that I kidnapped her unless we get her immunity tomorrow. If we don't do that for I've seen this happened, then just take that story. >> Okay. >> I know it sounds stupid, but that question, >> okay? >> Please, I swear to God, please do that for me. >> Okay, I'll let the the trooper know that's going to be taking her down. Okay. >> Okay. Please. But if you just I know it sounds really good. Please say that to her. He was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, unlawful imprisonment, possession of a weapon by a prohibited person, and even more. He later accepted a plea deal, and was found guilty of misconduct involving weapons. He was sentenced to a year behind bars, was given credit for time served, and was given supervised probation for 4 years. On the 1st of May 2025, the cops got a call from a private residence. Reportedly, a man called in saying his ex-girlfriend was trying to enter his house. During the confrontation, she'd struck the man with a steel crowbar. When the officers got there, they had a talk with the victim. >> Okay, so we've been on and off, right? But it came to a point where I'm like, I want a real relationship. I want to be dead with her. So, I [music] end up, you know, just leaving her alone. So, she ended up going on like two, three dates and I ended up blocking her when she went on the second date. And then yesterday, she had text me off of my other number and I ain't text her back at all. So this morning I'm in my room knocked out and as I'm sleep she come banging on the window and then when she bang on the window she go to the screen door. The screen door is locked. It's always locked. She snatched it open. It popped open. >> Okay. >> So I was coming out the door. >> Let me get Let me get her vehicle out. What kind of vehicle is it? >> She has a Nissan. >> Nissan. What color? >> Uh it's dark gray. >> Dark gray. Older model. >> Older. >> Older model. >> I don't know the year. I forgot the year. >> All right. >> The victim here, Nick, said the suspect was a black female. and he described in detail how she tried to break into his house and the altercation that followed. >> So she knocked on the window. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. You came out on the window >> and I was in the room sleep. I was in her head to throw something in the trash. I didn't even know who it was at first cuz I didn't see her at the window. So when I walk through the door as soon as I go through the door, she bust in. So I'm like, "Okay, like don't go in my room." Like you want you know what's back there, but you want to go see it for yourself. Yes, sir. I'm like just you know just just leave it on. Like just leave it on. So she just she find me. Like she find me. trying to stop her from doing all this, trying to stop her from doing everything. So, I end up grabbing her and dragging her out. And when I do that, she bust back into the room. And this time, she knocked everything down. I got two PS5s in the TV. She's not going to pay for none of that. She ain't even pay for the damage that she did to my car. The first dent that she put in my car. So, that's when it turned me up. Like, I I grabbed I just kept pulling out the room. Just kept pulling out the room. And after that, she left. And she just came back. When she came back, she talking about something, "Oh, you called me scared. You called me scared." talking about you going to jump. I've never said nothing in that matter. You can ask the witness right there. I've never said nothing that we going to jump her. I've never said no nothing about nobody fighting. I promise you on my own I ain't said nothing about that. >> So when she come back Yeah. When she come back she like, "Oh, that ain't said you was going to jump me with the female." Like jump you with the female? Why' I say something like that? That that that just this doesn't make any sense. >> After the initial confrontation, the suspect had left, but she hadn't gotten too far before coming back and starting the argument again. According to Nick's account and the video he showed, the second attack had been a lot more intense. >> Second time she left and she jumped in the car. The >> second going back and forth, swerving, and then she she backed up from all the way down there, tried to hit me, and then >> Where were you? In the roadway. >> I was in the road. >> I was like right here. >> What is that? >> This hurt. >> This the second time. >> This the second time. >> No, matter of fact, she pulled it from her jacket, actually. Yeah. You going to see her pulling from her jacket like it's a like it's a samurai sword. >> Let's do it, bro. Let's do it, bro. >> After hearing the victim's account, the cops then went to look for the suspect. And not long after, they found the suspect's gray Nissan with the suspect inside. Step out of the vehicle, sweetheart. >> I'm on the Yes, you are. Can you have anything on you? Hold on. >> How y'all doing? >> She mad at me. >> You hurt the leg. Uhoh. You need to be checked out. >> You sure? >> Yeah. Keep car running for AC. Okay. >> What's wrong with your leg? No, my shoe just popped. Yes. >> Where you moment at? >> My mom in the back seat. >> The suspect's mother, who was in the back seat, was going to move the woman's car. Meanwhile, the cops escorted their suspect to a squad car, but she didn't feel particularly comfortable there. >> I ain't never been in a police car. What? I just twist my leg. >> Yeah. Put Put your butt there first and then bring your legs out. Yeah. Just >> so embarrassed. Oh my god. This tight it is. >> All right. >> During a search of the suspect's vehicle, they found a gun. Fortunately, the weapon hadn't been used during the fight with her ex. She was then taken to the police station where she was questioned about the incident. What happened? I've >> been dealing with Nick since August of 2024, my boyfriend. Um, so this I realized he blocked me last night. I don't understand why my message wasn't going through. I don't know what's going on. I got a phone call from a cousin of mine that said that he picked up a girl last night and she's still at the house. So, I'm like, this cannot be happening cuz I was just with him the night before. My boyfriend. So, I drove to Belglade, knocked on the door. Nick came to the door. I'm trying to get in the house. He Well, I didn't even have to try. He opened the door, let me come in. I walked in. We tussled a little bit at the door. I'm getting to the room. >> So, he say [music] tussled a little bit at the door. >> Like basically trying to push through the door. He pushed me out like where you going? Where you going? I'm like, "Move." So, he let me through. I walked towards his room. I opened the door, seemed no female laying in the bed. I'm like, "Who is this?" Nick laughing and it just that's kind of what triggered me. He laughing. It's a joke. I'm like, "Really? I just was here two nights ago." "Oh, you going on a date, Nick? You going on a date with dudes? You doing you." So, what's the problem? >> Obviously, the presence of another girl in Nick's bed had triggered the suspect's anger. She told the cops that she tried to kick the woman out of the house and that's when things got physical. >> So, I'm like, "Um, get out." Telling her to get out or whatever. She's not moving or whatever. So, he pushed me. So I got pushed into his table in his room with his game PS5. The PS5 and the t the TV is on there in water. [music] So all of that fell over the floor. And then he was punching me, hitting me all in front of the girl. He had me by my locks, [music] dragging me out the room, dragging me down the hall to the living room. We finding the living room. So I'm like, "Okay, clearly he's picking her with me, so you need to leave." So reality kicked in. I left. He followed me out the door as I'm leaving. chasing running me chasing me to my car, fighting me inside my car, hitting me. I don't understand why you mad, Nick. He's going off. We fighting in the car. I leave. >> However, as things turned out, that was only the first half of the confrontation. Shortly after, the suspect made a post on Facebook about the breakup with her boyfriend. In response, the girl she found in Nick's bed made a laughing emoji on her post that pushed the suspect right over the edge. >> So, I see she laughed. So all all I seen was the girl laughing at my stuff and I just I'm blacking out. Remember Craig leaving out the store. I left got in my car, drove to his house. This is the second incident. I knocked on the door. I'm like, "You really letting this girl pick at me, Nick? Let this girl pick at me?" He's like, "That was me. That was me." I'm like, "Why would you get on her page? Why would she let you get on my page to laugh at someone? I don't even know her." I said, "You going to beat me up?" He was like saying [music] how you know. I said, "You I heard you say you going to um if if I would have put my hands on her, you would have helped her." I didn't say that. I didn't say So he had a towel around him. So I'm standing at the door. I'm like, "Let me in, let me in." So he wouldn't let me in. I'm like, "Whatever." So we argue back and forth. He pushed me down the steps. Oh yeah, I did have a crowbar in my hand when I did pull up to the house, but I wasn't going to hit him. I feel like it was going to be just a threat thing. [music] I wasn't planning on using it cuz, you know, I was blacked out. I don't know what's wrong with me. So I'm standing, we standing arguing at the door. He pushed me down the steps. So flew down the steps. I got up and that's when I hit him with the crowbar. He dropped the towel. He's butt naked. And then he just whooping me like I'm a dude. Fighting me. He [music] always be fighting me. So we in the yards. I don't know if the camera picked that up. He literally fighting me, stomping me, like fighting me like I'm a dude. So I'm down there baldled up. Beat me. I finally got the crowbar. I broke my nail. Then I swung it again. I don't know if I connect, but [music] I know he was he's a dude. He can fight. >> According to her, Nick had continued to hit her. At that point, she managed to escape then jumped into her car. After that, things escalated quickly. And when Nick began attacking the woman with not his hands but rocks, things got completely out of control. >> I'll be chasing my car with rocks, throwing rocks, throwing rocks. So I streamed off, do a U-turn to come back so I can leave to go to rock cuz I went the wrong way just trying to get away from him not breaking my window. So I went the wrong way. I'm like, you can go around, but I came back. So he's standing down there. He had a big rock in his hand. [clears throat] So I'm like, I really hope this not bus my window cuz I'm going to just go home. I'm done with the situation. I'm over it. So, as I'm driving by, he got the rock, snapped into my window, glass got all over me. So, I'm like, he just bust my window. So, I drove my Nissan into his Impala. I remember the whole impala about to flip. Then, I went through the grass and then I left. >> Thankfully, like we said, the suspect didn't use her gun on Nick during their confrontation. They charged the woman with domestic aggravated battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. On December 26th, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio, the cops responded to a domestic violence report. [music] When they got there, the cops entered the house and at the very same moment, the suspect fled. >> Hi. >> Where you going? BACK DOOR. BACK DOOR. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. GO. [crying] >> Watch me stop stepping. >> They might go out and get you. [screaming] No. >> Huh? >> He stole my truck and then just brought my truck back right before you guys got >> I mean tried to get him at the door but he pushed off. I mean went by taser but I couldn't get it out fast enough. >> The victim explained that the suspect, her ex-boyfriend had taken her truck keys and her brother's bank card. She also said that the suspect had her house key. She said over the last few days her ex had beaten her up and she gave them details about their relationship. >> Has he ever stayed here? >> He lived here but he's not supposed to be here. We he we have a no contact order. The sheriffs are looking for him. >> That's why he's over. >> Yeah. Look, he's been beaten on me. I got bruises all in my legs. Okay. >> On my back. >> Yeah, I'm good. >> My shoulders, my arms. He came here today. Said he was going to come just get his stuff. I said, "Okay." Next thing you know, he already took my column out of my truck when he stole it the last time. So, all he's got to do is flip the switch on it and it starts and he took it. >> The victim told the officers that over the last year or so, he'd become increasingly violent. She told the cops that he'd strangled her and threatened the woman if she tried to leave. The cops surrounded the neighborhood searching for the suspect. >> You have two zone cars on five right now. Do you have a description of this male? >> Please be a gray hoodie with bushy hair. white male. He's probably about 5' 10, heavy build, and he's got a full pair here. >> Gray hoodie. >> Gray hoodie. >> In a nearby yard, the cops noticed an open back door. They explained to the homeowner that they were searching for a suspect, so he let them into the yard. To assist in the search, they brought police dogs out, and it soon paid off. Say radio. I got him under the porch at 3040 West 106. Come out with your HANDS UP OR I WILL SEND THE DOG IN. >> COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP OR I WILL SEND THE DOG. >> Come on now. I WANT TO SEE YOUR HANDS. I WILL SEND THE DOG. >> Come on now. [screaming] >> He's coming out. KEEP YOUR HANDS. I WANT TO SEE YOUR HANDS THE WHOLE TIME. >> SHOW US YOUR HANDS. Come out. >> Show us your hands. Come out. >> COME OUT NOW. I WILL NOT RELEASE THE DOG. >> I'll be right with you. Okay. >> All right. All you got to do is show me the other hand and we can talk. >> What's What's your first name, my man? >> Hey, I don't want to release my dog on you. Okay. >> Despite the officer's threats, the man didn't come out of his hiding spot. The cops tried to talk to the man, but he responded cooperatively and admitted he had a weapon on him. The cops continued their conversation with caution. >> I know you said you have a gun on you. Where is it at? >> It's in your pocket. >> Yes, sir. All right. >> So, what is it going to get for me to ask you to slide slowly slide out of there? >> I want to know why you at my house wrong. Why are y'all in my house? >> Listen, >> right now I'm telling you, we're only here investigating what's going on. >> No, you're not investigating nothing. >> Well, that's because we got a call. We have to do this. Okay. >> Sir, is this the house you live at? >> No. >> All right. Your house is on, right? >> You and your wife live there? How many kids you got? >> All right. So, an officer got called there >> for you and your wife. Whatever happened earlier? >> I did not talk to your wife. >> Okay. Did Did she start an argument with you? >> Get the hand out of the pocket. Get the hand out of the pocket. Man, >> this guy walking around. >> Get the hand out, sir. Keep your hand out, >> dude. Just get the hand out of the pocket right now. >> Get the hand out of the pocket, sir. Slowly, >> sir. Get the hand out with nothing in it. >> Don't worry about us. Don't even worry about him. >> I am worried about him. I got rifle. >> When they saw their threats wouldn't work on him, they decided to change up their tactics. One of the cops decided to offer the man a cigarette. Sometimes a nice gesture works better than a threat. Sure enough, the cigarette trick did the job. >> Give me a cigarette light and I'm coming out. >> You got Yeah, it's right here. You got >> cigarette. Yeah. Get closer, dude. That's going to fall in that crap. >> Yeah, we can't just throw it all the way in there. Come out at least the beginning of this lock right here. >> What side did you get in from? This side, >> huh? >> Did you get in from that side or this? >> Fell right there. When I fell, I seen it was open, so I crawled in there. >> What are the odds? Couldn't have done that if I tried. It's one of those healthy cigarettes. The American Spirit. >> What's that? >> Healthy cigarette. >> Yeah. >> Doesn't have all the additives. >> As the tension evaporated, the cops had a friendly and calm conversation with him. The man admitted to the cops that he didn't know about the protection order against him, which was why the man entered the house. They managed to get the man out of his hiding spot. >> Look, the the first thing is just to come out. You guys pull up your car. >> Good job, guys.
