This is all over my girl, BE MAD AT ME. >> I want some camera right now. >> On May 22nd, an off-duty officer in Florida was working detail at a seafood restaurant when he found himself seconds away from a physical fight after a patron refused to leave.

Right, I ain't DO OW, WHAT THE >> BECAUSE THE OFFICER'S BODY CAM WAS knocked off, we can't see exactly what's happening here. But listen to Justin's immediate reaction.

Because Justin didn't just resist. He actively attacked an off-duty officer. >> Did she try to bite you, sir? >> Yeah, she tried to bite >> So, yeah. She punched me in the face like four times. She was still trying to bite. She hit me a couple times right here. >> You too? Do you like to ask about it? >> No, I don't want to ask about it. She hit me right here. >> Here? Let me just take a picture. Listen closely to how Officer Young describes the very beginning of the encounter. Justin's claim that he didn't do anything completely falls apart here. >> Okay, so one more time, how was all started one more time? >> so I got flagged down cuz it's going to be a couple domestics. >> Okay. >> Seen them before. They were arguing out here. >> Okay. >> They went on the same set cruise. They came back.

Okay, buddy can you stay with him or I got to try to find him? >> While Justin sits in the back of a cruiser, officers head back inside to figure out what started all of this and a bystander is quick to point them in the right direction. >> What happened? So, your boyfriend you want to talk to us over there? Okay, let's go Let me let me close up. Okay. What do you hear it? What? >> She needs to go, too. >> What? >> She provoked him. >> Okay. Thank you, sir. >> Honestly, he just >> Excuse me, is he your boyfriend or husband or something? >> He's my boyfriend. >> Okay. >> And um we were we had a little bit of an argument and he told me to leave him alone. He's just salty. I I had a good time on the boat and he was jealous about that and then he fought you guys. So, I I can't speak for that. >> Okay. No, I just want to know what happened before that. Okay, so he's going he's going to like jail, okay? He got a bunch of felonies and all that stuff. >> He already has felonies like >> Here she going to have more. >> Cuz he fought you guys. >> Yeah, he he punched an officer in the face twice and tried to bite him.

I don't know they they were together when we got here. Okay. She was unhappy with him and she kept saying get the [ __ ] away from me. Get the [ __ ] away from me. Get the [ __ ] away from me. And he said he said you're my girl why aren't you why are you telling me this? And I was like what the hell what is wrong with you? And that's when she started getting louder and that's when they called in management and then when they called management it got even louder. And then when the first cop came in it got they disrespected him. He disrespected him the first the first cop he did. He said I think I think he might have called him. And he called him a [ __ ] And he might have I don't know if he did or >> to be mad at it. >> So he was in the beginning he was but he did he did say I I give I give after like you know. He did finally say I give I give. >> Okay. All right, do y'all have your IDs on you? >> Yeah, I don't know if I want to run that over here. >> We got warrants [laughter] we got warrants that's why we're DOWN HERE NOW. >> SERIOUSLY THOUGH I THINK IT I THINK I DON'T THINK IT NEVER WOULD HAVE happened if she had >> She hadn't instigated it. >> She instigated his actions. >> Okay. >> Period. >> Meanwhile out in the patrol car Justin is alone with his thoughts and instead of sobering up his entitlement goes into overdrive. >> What the God damn [ __ ] Oh man. Oh my god y'all are some [ __ ] man. I'm suing the [ __ ] out of y'all. Promise you. Suing the out of y'all. Fake ass cops. [ __ ] ass I swear to god god damn man. Suing the out of y'all.

I promise y'all I got a good lawyer for y'all ass. Also I can't feel my left hand. Y'all cuffs are so close on them. My blood flow is limited to zero. When I call my lawyer they're going to act different and say they couldn't hear me when they were tasing me for no reason when I did not deny arrest. Oh my god, man. I sold this soul because of y'all. I'm not okay. Want to make this clear so when I call my lawyer, she can get this information right here. >> While Justin sits in the back of the cruiser, the officers review the facts of the case. And because he struck a fully uniformed officer and actively fought his arrest, his night is ending with a trip to the county jail. >> So we have a battery on a Leo, resisting with violence, resisting with that of a disorderly. Uh Yeah. Resisting with violence, just resisting and disorderly. >> Justin is convinced he's the victim here. He believes that because his girlfriend was drunk, his aggressive behavior was justified and that the officers were just trying to play the hero. >> My girl was drunk and was acting a fool while I was trying to get her to go to the room. But y'all want to jump in and beat me, right? It's okay. I got a nice lawyer. So she's hitting me with false charges. Just so you know, these cuffs are way too tight on my left hand, man. I know you don't care cuz you were tasing me for no reason. For no [ __ ] reason, right? Cuz you're a tough guy, right? That's my girl. I was trying to talk to my woman.

Take these cuffs off and go somewhere else and see what happens. We ain't got 10 sticking me with a taser, right? Cuz my girl don't want to deal with me.

You wanted to be a tough guy for a female. I can't wait till I get there and I'm going to holler at you, sergeant. >> After a long profanity-laced rant, the sergeant opens the door. Notice how his calm, professional demeanor completely disarms Justin's aggression. >> It's funny? I'm going to sue the [ __ ] out of you, [ __ ] >> Hey, man. I'm sorry to wait. >> Brother, we we have we haven't met yet. Brother, I did I I just got jumped by your officers >> Okay. >> for no reason. This this cuff on my left hand is so tight, brother.

I'm like I'm like >> why we're here. >> This cop jumped me. They tased me. They beat me for no reason. >> Yeah. >> My girlfriend was drunk and just didn't want me around her. So, they came in trying to play Captain Save-a-Ho instead of just letting us talk and get out of there. And I told him I was trying to talk to my girl. Next thing you know, I'm getting ripped out of there. I'm getting jumped. I'm getting tased for no reason, dude. >> Justin is still clinging to his false narrative, but the sergeant calmly reminds him of a crucial fact. Every officer on scene is wearing a camera and the footage will speak for itself. >> Brother, I I got kids at home. I came here to enjoy myself for 3 days >> I get it. >> with my girl. That was it. >> Okay. >> Right? And she got drunk and and and then didn't want me around her cuz I said the wrong word. And they jumped right on it and dragged me off and jumped me, dude.

I wasn't here to go here anyway, like Look at it. >> Let me help you out. >> No. No. No. No. >> Justin's hostility returns the moment he steps out of the vehicle. >> Sir, I completely feel like it's This this cuff on my left wrist is so tight. I can't move nothing. Like I got jumped and tased by what? For what? >> Listen, you're working yourself up. You're working yourself up. >> Cuz he's a He's not He's not a good >> Listen to me.

It's what I'm telling you. I was literally just in a little argument with my girlfriend. >> Later during the final transport to the jail, Justin accidentally lets the truth slip. Listen to what he admits right here. >> Right here in line, I was talking [ __ ] to him on the way here. >> Well, good news is you're done with that guy now, okay? So, we're all going to go up to the jail together, but the jail staff will handle things from here on out, okay? >> I shouldn't even be in this car right now, bro. >> After the arrest, he was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, disorderly conduct on the premises of an establishment, trespass on property other than structure or conveyance, and resisting an officer without violence.
