Get off me. Get off me. >> When compassion fades, something darker takes its place. And the word mother becomes a memory, not a meaning. Put >> your hands in front. Okay. From the burning heat of a car seat to a home frozen in neglect to the final snap of steel cuffs, every story whispers the same warning. Love can vanish. >> I'm not seeing that. >> No one's born cruel, but somewhere between pride and pain, some forget how to feel. On September 22nd, 2024, Bradenton, Florida, police were called to a Walmart parking lot after a 2-year-old boy was found unconscious inside a locked car under the blazing afternoon sun. Every second counted. Officers knew they were racing against time to pull a child back from the edge. >> Hey buddy, wake up. Wake up. >> They're locked. >> They're all locked. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> And they don't have the button on the top. It's the door handles. You need me to get some? I'll get something for you to break it. >> No, I have to break it. I'm just trying to not shatter it on him. Hey, buddy. Wake up. >> Yeah, we're going to break this one. >> Yeah. >> Hey, buddy. Wake up. more. >> Yeah, I know. English translated everything. >> Oh. Spanish. >> It's unlocked now. >> I'm not sure if that's even not sure who he is yet. He >> said it's his car. I'm trying to figure out who it is. Yeah. >> He said he went in to go to the bathroom. He's only been in in a minute, but our person who called it in has been on here for at least 10. >> 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. You speak English? >> What's your name? Okay. Do you have ID? >> No. >> No passport? No. >> No. The man taken into custody turned out to be the child's stepfather. Even with cops and paramedics surrounding the scene, he walked up with a smile, a chilling red flag. During questioning, his main concern wasn't the boy's condition. It was staying out of legal trouble. Okay. Okay. All right. He he would like to talk. >> Okay. First, I need to know his son's name. >> Yeah. >> No, she said mom is not here. Which Oh, she said mom is in Walmart. Does she have her phone on her? She doesn't have her phone. I'm going to send this guy to his friend. >> He He was in the car, too. He needs to stay not go anymore. >> Okay. Know your step last name. >> No, I am. We got at least 15 minutes at least. >> Um, >> what's his birthday? >> How old is he? >> His first name is No. Okay. When asked, he couldn't even recall basic details about the child. 6 months of knowing him wasn't the issue. It was the coldness behind it. To him, the boy wasn't family. He was just part of the package that came with the mom. Danielle, >> what's she wearing? A white shirt, yellow shirt, and black shirt. Skinny or no? She's skinny. The mom mom was uh inside Walmart uh buying groceries and he left the kid in the car because he he needed to go to the bathroom and that's when he came out. So why he told me he only knows the kid's first name because they've been dating for six months >> and he doesn't know the kid's last name or birthday or but he knows he's >> years old. >> Yeah. >> 6 months. You don't know your hardly Okay. So, what happened? >> Okay. So, Okay. Okay. Did you see him inside the store at all? He said, "Yeah, he went inside the store to meet with her to give her uh something related to the debit to her debit card." >> And it didn't. >> The mother's reaction was even more disturbing. She calmly pushed her card and said, "My kid's fine." Even though her son had just been pulled out unconscious, she admitted she knew he was in the car but kept shopping anyway. There's no excuse for putting groceries above your own child's safety. He said he was coming. He He told her that he was coming back because the kid was left in the car by his cell because he fell. >> And that was just okay with you. He said he just went not important. kids. Okay. It's nice you asked. Can we go over to the >> No surgery? >> No. No surgery, no medications. Uh never he doesn't have any condition. >> Any allergies? Um, >> not that she's aware of. >> Okay. And then you take no medication? >> No, no medication. >> Don't tell me checking on him cuz he could have. Why did you tell me? Huh? >> This didn't seem like an important time to remember. The third adult statement revealed the psychological heart of this case. He said all three adults went inside Walmart, leaving the boy behind. In his mind, since the parents were there, he had no responsibility. He wasn't lying. He was just indifferent. And sometimes indifference cuts deeper than deceit. He said it's not fair. He know he's aware it's not fair, but uh he went inside the store and it's not his kid. So it was not your kid. So you don't care, right? That's not your came here because they gave me a ride to the store so he could get the stuff that he was going to buy. >> How do you know them? No, it'll be Okay. >> Um, >> do we get to full 43 of the child's? >> Yeah. >> All right. She's the only one with the child >> you have. Okay. The mother only began to cry when the handcuffs clicked. That means those tears weren't for her son. They were for herself. In the end, both the mother and stepfather were booked into county jail, facing felony child neglect charges under Florida law. Neither had a serious prior record. If convicted, what kind of sentence do you think could actually make them learn? So, when the crime no longer comes from the weather, right, but from a mother's own hands? On January 11th, 2024 in Pasco, New Mexico, police were dispatched for a welfare check at a remote home. When a woman named Darlene stepped outside, her anxious demeanor and erratic behavior immediately set off alarms. Inside that house, something was clearly very wrong. >> Have you had your baby already? >> Yeah. >> How's your baby doing? >> Good. >> Is he here with you now or where's your baby at? >> Can we make sure he's okay? That's just our only concern right now. Okay. >> You're okay, though? You don't need any help. You don't need any services, nothing like that. Okay. Yeah. We just got a call saying you might have had a baby and people haven't heard from you in a while, so we're just checking on you. Okay. >> Oh, he's okay. >> Can you bring your baby out here or can we come in? >> I'll bring him out >> real quick. It's just part of our job. Okay. >> Yeah, he's fine and everything. >> You guys have food? You guys have running water here? >> Yes. >> Okay. Turn the light on him. Okay. Yeah. Did you go to the hospital when you had him? >> No, I didn't. >> No, you didn't. >> No. >> All right. So, can we have you go to the hospital just to make sure everything's okay? You want to ride with us? You want us to call you an ambulance to go? >> We could go in ambulance. >> You can go to an ambulance. Okay. So, we're going to call an ambulance. >> Have a friend take me. >> Can I have a friend take me? >> Yeah, but we just got to make sure you go. Okay. >> No, I I'll go. >> Okay, cool. So, we just want to make sure everything's okay. Okay. Sound good? Yeah. >> So, uh can you call a friend to come get you and take you now? >> Yes. Okay. Ronald. >> Ronald. Okay. Okay. What's the number, Ronald? Uh, >> could I ask who called? >> I don't know. It was an anonymous caller. Okay. So, that's why we had to >> stop. Try again. >> Hello. >> Hi, Mom. >> Hi. >> Uh, we need a ride to the hospital, I guess. >> Okay. Um, you know what? We don't have a car seat. Oh, you >> initial observations revealed two major red flags. A newborn likely delivered at home, never seen by medical professionals and showing signs of respiratory distress, bluish skin. But instead of accepting a free ambulance ride, the couple hesitated, looking for another way out. It seemed they feared government involvement more than losing their baby. >> Huh? >> Just waiting. No, I I get it. I understand. Okay. But just because he wasn't born uh born at the hospital, we need to make sure that he's okay. He, you know, he's at the, you know, he's got proper weight, all proper nutrition, all that stuff, okay? Um it's my job, okay? It's nothing against you. With that being said, I will have to go inside and make sure that you guys do have food, running water, and heat, okay? So, I have to go inside and look at all that stuff. >> So, can we do that? Let me >> talk to my mother. They want to come inside the house. >> So, have them come out here so we can explain it to him. Okay. Hey, Ronald. Talk to us real quick. Okay, so here's the thing, okay? Because we did get a call saying we have to come check on your child. Um, we do have to make sure you have food, uh, running water and electricity. I mean, or and heat. Okay. I can see the chimney. I just got to make sure you have running water and food. Okay. Can we come and check on that? >> My house is a mess right now, but >> it's fine. That that doesn't >> That's what you guys say every time. you know, when something else goes wrong, you know, >> as long as there's no weapons laying around, I mean, you know what I mean? Everyone's everyone's lifestyle is different. Okay, we can work with you. >> Can you guys show me the area where you keep um your baby? >> Huh? >> Does he have a place to where he he sleeps? >> On the couch right here. >> Right behind you. >> Right here. And do you guys sleep with him or how do you take care of them? >> I sleep with them. >> Okay. Do you ever need water? >> Yeah. >> Hot water. >> I just got to feel real quick. Make sure it's hot water. Okay. >> Officers had no choice but to enter. Not out of curiosity, but out of fear for the child's safety. And they were right. Inside was chaos. Trash everywhere. Filth coating the floors. Nowhere clean for a baby to rest. No crib, just an old couch where the mother said she slept with her newborn. >> So, I have a couple questions. Okay. >> Have you guys been trying to clean up the place a little bit more since you had your baby? >> Yes. >> Okay. How's How long have you guys been working on that? >> How long have you guys been working on >> one day? >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> One day. >> Just one day. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Sounds good. >> Can I have you guys walk over here for me? Can you guys have you guys go both walk to the door for me real quick? We got a call saying that you were pregnant. I don't know who called. Anonymous caller. I have no idea. Okay, guys. They were saying you possibly Oh, you were pregnant. You possibly had your baby here without going to the hospital. Um I don't think I don't think that's a crime. Um I have to go check. Okay. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a crime. Okay. Uh you're wanting to get your son checked out at the hospital. You're okay with all that. So that's why we're, you know, so with that being said, because we have to, you did have a child, we have to check to make sure the child's safe, healthy, he's got food, running, all that water. Okay. >> Um, I can see around the house. Okay. >> Um, do you guys need help with that? Do you guys need services? We can guys get you guys clean. Um, were you using while you were pregnant? >> No. >> No. Okay, [music] >> sounds good. 20 a.m. or PM? Yeah. >> Okay. So, here's the deal. Okay. I did see a little container on the couch. Whose is it? >> Yours. Okay. So, we'll deal with that here in a little bit. Okay. Right now, we're worried about your son. Okay. We're going to let you go to the hospital. So, because we see it, I mean, we can't let you guys stay in here by yourselves, but we're not going to Nobody's under arrest as of this very moment. Okay. >> So, we're just going to wait here till you guys get here. Okay. So, what's going to happen then? >> Huh? [snorts] >> What's going to happen? >> Um, we'll probably type up a CCPC. You'll go to court for it. Um, I don't exactly know all the details at the time, but something along those lines. Um, my main concern is to make sure your son is safe, he's healthy, all that. Okay. >> The home mirrored their lives, drowning in clutter and neglect. The extreme unsanitary conditions pointed to long-term apathy. The home birth appeared to be an intentional move to avoid medical testing and possible detection of drug use during pregnancy. >> How many animals do you guys have? >> Three cats and a dog. >> One dog. >> Is it just the one? >> We have to put the dog outside before we go. >> Okay. >> We'll get that figured out here in a sec. Okay. Just keep him warm. Yeah, he looks he's has a good color and everything. Just >> Oh, yeah. He's not covered. >> His foot's out. So, try and hurry cuz he's getting cold. >> It's freezing out here tonight. Is it just you guys that live here? >> Yeah. >> So, what did you say? >> I haven't talked to him yet. So, I was on the phone with him this whole time. Okay. Um, they those other officers showed up and then So, we're just I haven't had a chance to call >> Huh? >> So, what's going on now? >> So, right now, um, I want I would like for you to get checked out at the hospital, too. I know you say you're fine, but just just in case. Okay. Um I don't I would want >> You guys are more concerned about the baby. I'm fine. >> Yeah. But um I And then that way you're not separated from your child on the way over there either. You know what I mean? Um so that's what I would like. Um so my concern was bills. Okay. punk. >> When the man was arrested, she quickly blurted out that he wasn't the baby's father. A desperate attempt to rewrite the story and reduce their legal exposure. She tried to separate him from the child, then started rambling about cats and dogs as if her mind was grasping for anything that didn't hurt to think about. Well, >> it's okay with my brother-in-law. >> Are we all right to close the door? >> I was like, right now, hey, what you want to do? I was like, "Right now, I'm going to say no." >> I just ask her if she's good to close the door. >> No. And I >> I was like, >> "So, what are we good to go to the hospital already? Me and the baby there?" >> Uh, we're just waiting for that clarification, right? >> Yeah. So, right now, we're just holding here for right now. >> You're more than welcome to wait inside the um ambulance with your baby. >> Yeah. Well, I wanted to smoke. >> Okay. When I just come in and sit in the car and close the door, you know. >> Mhm. >> So, let's go. >> That seat straight ahead. Buckle up for us. >> Before we get to it, man, um I got to advise you of your rights. Okay. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer, to have the law present while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford it, one uh one will be appointed to represent you before questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. You understand your rights? Okay. >> Cuz I got here too. >> And you need the restroom. Okay. >> And you need the restroom. >> Well, yeah. >> Okay. >> I need something to change into or something. I feel like gross. >> Okay. Let me go let them know what's going on and then we'll get this taken. >> Both adults were arrested. The baby was medically evaluated and found to be dehydrated, underweight, and blue. Classic symptoms of neonatal abstinence syndrome caused by prenatal exposure to opioids. The infant was rushed to the hospital. The mother now faces child abuse resulting in great bodily harm while the man is charged with drug possession. Custody of the child has been transferred to child protective services. Both adults had prior records, but had slipped through the cracks, exposing a systemic failure that failed to protect the child from the very beginning. A forgotten cigarette. A phone call was made too late. But justice doesn't take confessions written in regret. On March 25th, 2022 in Gulfport, Florida, police responded to a 911 call from a mother who said she feared for the safety of her three children. But when they arrived at the reported motel, the scene revealed far more than just fear. It exposed clear signs of child neglect hiding in plain sight. >> Okay. We got some people that want to come talk to you. >> Okay. Who's all inside? >> My kids. >> Your kids? Is uh Michael in there, too? >> No, he left me. >> He left you? Okay. >> All right. >> He's been acting really strange. >> He has been acting strange. How long you guys been together? I told him would have been 12 years. Oh, >> okay. What happened? >> Yeah. When when did y'all break that? >> He's been acting strange for um past couple months. >> Okay. Just uh randomly saying um he's saying I basically I'm running up and bringing [ __ ] He's then he he admitted to me uh like when he starts getting like real tired or something. He admitted saying was it he he starts blaming me for the things he's doing cuz that's how he cops with it. >> He's the one doing that, isn't it? >> No. >> Why would you think he would? >> He said he did. What did he say exactly? >> Um, cuz I asked him all the times, "Did you call?" He's like, "No, I didn't." "Are you sure you didn't?" I said, "No." >> Did he threaten to call us lots of times? >> And what what was he going to what was he going to say? What was he going to report? >> Did he say that I'm running? I'm cheating on him and everything. >> Okay. He got multiple videos of me and him together doing things and one time hundreds of times I don't know I >> like what like or something or >> that probably and no but was that him >> and all thising text too. Was he were you trying to break up with him and he >> and he started acting weird or like why did he all of a sudden if he if y'all two have been together for so long? >> This is going on a year now. I noticed he's been changing towards me like >> does he use >> the mother's behavior showed a mix of self-defense and denial. She positioned herself as the victim of a toxic relationship, hoping that narrative would blur her own role in neglecting her kids. Her anxiety wasn't about her children's safety. It was about maintaining the [music] illusion of innocence as that mask began to crack. >> When was the mo the most recent time? When was the last time that you can remember? >> When he came over, >> which is what how many days? >> The last time I used >> Yes. Around 6:00 a.m. >> today. He woke me up. He [snorts] He was supposed to come over last night or whatever and help me help me with the kids and everything. He help me. >> And then what happened today at 6:00 a.m.? >> He goes banging on the door. >> Okay. And then what happened? You let him in or no? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You let him in and what? You guys go to sleep. You start eating, drinking. What do What do you do when you let him in? Um, he just went straight towards the bathroom. >> Okay. He went to the bathroom. What did you do? Did you go back into bed? Did you stay up waiting for him? What did you >> No, I ended up uh I ended up Well, I woke up so I had to go to the bathroom. Uh, >> while he's in the bathroom. >> No, he was sitting where that that's why the mattress thing was basically one and a half. >> Yeah. She's not going to help. >> You said she's not. >> She keeps stalling. So, >> she's also like all over the place. >> Yeah. There you go. >> And another doll. >> This one's hard to get the laundry detergent. >> No guns or anything in here, right? >> No. >> Okay, then. >> Should not be. >> Where would it be if it was in here? >> A gun? No, the uh >> we went back to >> um you've already already answered a ton of my questions. >> You've been you've been good. >> Yeah, you've been super detailed and helping me out. Um >> where's your glasses? You're a boat guy. >> I wish I had them on killing me. >> I just like man, I wish I had them. But because I do have to ask you a little more specific questions. >> Yep. No problem. >> Just have to advise if he's okay. >> No problem. >> The truth was brutal. She had chosen drugs over her children's safety, willingly exposing them to chaos and potential violence. Addiction had smothered her maternal instinct. Meanwhile, the man showed a shallow sense of remorse, aware enough to feel guilt, yet too far gone to stop himself. >> I don't want you to feel pressured. I don't want you to feel forced. Take a second. It's not that dude. It's not bad. >> It's It's a lot. I just a lot. Okay. >> You got what you do? >> All >> you You are suffering, right? >> You're 100,000% right. >> And then who else is suffering? >> My babies. >> You got my babies. You're right. >> Last two weeks of my life has been a big >> a whirlwind. >> A big one. A big a huge one. >> Um you say that much. >> You say that much. Um measurement is one thing. Amount is one thing. Weight is one thing. >> I got you. So you're not you're smoking a lot throughout the day. You're a little bit throughout the day. >> A little there. Just a little puffer. It's It's like an It's not that, you know, I'm not banging it on. No. >> Any convicted? >> No. Not a convicted felon. >> You're not? >> No. >> That's good. >> I have nothing. No felonies, no wants, no warrants. >> Do you have, by the way, a set of keys to this truck? >> No. Okay. She was just asking. I know they permission the doorork key for it. >> Yeah. Um okay. So since we're on, you know, the tried and true path to to get it together. >> Are we allowed to go inside your truck? >> I would rather you not go in my truck and not cuz I I give you what's in my truck. That's not why I don't want you in my truck. >> Um I don't want you in my truck just because >> here's what we do. If you give me the gun, that's not going to be a good situation. >> We don't we don't allow people to give us guns. >> You can do it. It's going to be on the drug test. We receive this and this. And we go, "Okay." >> And we go right there just to check it. Make sure it's not. >> Michael lived between two realities. A father who knew he'd failed and an addict still clinging to a shred of pride. He lied, then confessed, denied, then admitted. It wasn't just inconsistency. It was the inner war between guilt and the desperate need to be forgiven. But my issue is, like we said, um, is that, you know, if there was just the car, I'd be fine with you being like, "There you go." >> But with the gun in there, >> I have no question. Have we earned enough trust that I can go >> put on my seat? >> The gun? >> No. >> You would have you would have to tell me the gun is under this seat here and there, and I'd be like, "Okay." And you can watch me. >> I'll tell you, >> Mike, I like you. >> No, you have every You grab a a gun. My immediate response is to grab my >> You provide me with with say I'm done. I want to start clean. That to a judge looks a hell of a lot better >> than somebody like I don't want to talk to you. I'm done. >> Um it's actually in my truck. I have nothing to hide. I hope you guys know I have nothing to hide. I got in my That's where I like >> I'm not going to addict. No, it was more so me just asking you. You have the right to say no. >> If that's I would rather not know if my truck's sitting over there. >> My truck's sitting over there. >> I can't promise it won't be to just so that way we're on the same page because you've been cooperative and I can continue to stay cooperative. Of course, >> I can talk to you in the front. >> And so that way you can go ahead and make your phone calls and I don't have to babysit you. >> I'm the first sign of you acting up. That can change real quick. Are we on the same page? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay, good. I got >> put your hands out for me. >> Then I'm going to do a more thorough pat down idea. >> That's fine. >> We appreciate you. >> Hey, uh your necklace. >> Oh, >> what do you want? >> What do you want to do with it? >> Want it in the truck or you want it with you in your property? >> My property. To hold it or however you guys want to do it. >> Are you supposed to have that? >> Absolutely. Would it ever rain or >> Yeah. >> 14 years ago I was standing on a dock to put a lean up against a 480 volt pedestal. >> I blew my toes off. >> Oh my goodness. >> Right through the piggy. >> They didn't hide. They confessed. But sometimes the truth hurts more than any lie. They'd left three children alone. Two too young to fend for themselves just to chase another high. And in a rare moment of clarity, the mother called the police. Maybe not just to turn herself in, but to finally cry for help. Get your kids in there to come through here. This is the first step we have to take. Okay. This is this is the first step moving forward, right? There will be a court hearing in the morning just to confirm that a judge agrees with us. >> I'll make sure that you're there. Okay. >> Now, I let I let you hug them and I let you kiss them. Do you want to see them right now when you're crying or do you want to leave it on that note? >> So, if you're crying, you might upset them like that. That way they see happy, >> right? >> And you need to work on you. We've already discussed that. >> And Michael Michael does too. >> What's happening with him, too? >> He's going as well. >> Is it because of what I said? >> It's because of what he said. >> Because of No, actually, it's because of what you guys did. >> A little trip. She just wants to say one more time. Goodbye. And give you a kiss. Okay. >> Oh, big hug. Very sweet. >> That's that orange kitty. >> Let's say say goodbye and hang it up. >> What can I do if I'm hungry? >> I don't have any person. Uh, what about your phone? >> I'll grab whatever you need. >> To her credit, she wiped her tears and spoke softly to her kids. Calm, gentle, steady. While many mothers in crisis yell or panic, she chose composure. But that moment of grace couldn't erase the consequences. Both were arrested for child neglect. The mother was released on a $5,000 bond, facing possible probation, mandatory rehab, and limited contact with her children. The man's conviction stood. His appeal failed, leaving him to face similar or harsher penalties due to the drugs and firearm found in his car. A call for help turned into the start of an investigation. And this time, the one that needed saving was the truth itself. On August 5th, 2023 in Florida, when officers spotted a car driving with an invalid license plate, they decided to make what seemed like a routine traffic stop. But what began as a simple violation quickly unraveled [music] into a situation that pushed every officer on duty to their limits. >> Police report this weekend. My tag, my new tag was stolen on my car. My birthday's not until September, the end of September. So, >> yeah, they replaced the tag already. Tags replaced for the car. >> Yes. >> Yeah, >> it um and it was stolen. I was at the DMV, got the tag, put it in the backseat of my car, did a few errands, and boom, my tag was gone. I called the DMV and they said, "File police report, get a copy of the um business card and the case and they'll give you another one for free." >> And you know what tag that was? >> It was like DD um I don't think I have it with me. Um I don't know the the new tag number. >> Do you have the registration for the old tag? >> Um >> 15th Please, >> ma'am, just deep breath and just step out of the car for us, please. >> What? Why? >> Please step out of the vehicle, ma'am. >> Miss Conrad, can you step out of the vehicle? >> I want you to give me a ticket or whatever and I want >> Miss Conrad, step out of the vehicle. Get out of the car now or you're going to get tased because I just told you to get out of the car and give me a law. >> Step out of the car now. Step out of the car. >> Get out of the car. You're getting tased. >> What did I do? >> Conrad. Leave everything there and get out. >> No. >> Miss Conrad away from getting tased. >> I want my lawyer. I want >> to get my lawyer. >> I want my lawyer. Ow. >> Sometimes the line between authority and defiance is as thin as a single warning. She heard it but refused to believe it. The officers followed protocol. And when the taser fired, it wasn't just an electric shock. It was the consequence of a dangerous belief that the law applies to everyone except her. >> Get out of the car. >> No. Let me go. >> What is the matter with you? >> You [ __ ] Stop it. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> What did I do? >> Get on the ground. >> What did I do? >> Get on the ground now. >> What did I do? >> Get on the ground now. >> I didn't do anything wrong. I did nothing wrong. >> I did nothing wrong. >> Stop it. I did nothing wrong. What did I do wrong? Please. Please. >> Big ass bag of the center console. Wrong. What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong. >> 528. We got one. Uh 10:15. >> What did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong. >> Roll onto your right leg and then stand up. All right, let's do that. >> Definitely. >> All right. We got the fire department coming so that we can take care of your arms. >> Can I get my shoe? >> We'll get your shoes. >> It's under the car. >> All right. Yeah, we'll get it. >> Come over here, >> Mr. Conrad. You should just listen. >> I need to get my shoe. >> We'll get it. Just walk over here. >> Over here, please. >> Okay. >> Come over here. We're going to We're going to come over here. >> You want to sit on your tailgate? Is that easier? No, I want to. >> Miss Conrad, there is a large bag of methamphetamine or cocaine or something sitting right in the center console. I watched you grab it and stuff it down. Yes, there is. I'm >> not going to play this game, Miss Conrad. >> All right, >> please put your shoe on. You asked for it. >> No, no, no. If there's anything in this car does not belong, >> it doesn't matter. I watched you grab it and stuff it. >> She He saw you. All right. >> I watched you grab it and stuff it. It's on my camera. I was I'm looking right at you, >> Miss Conrad. Stop. All right. I am clean. I don't look at I mean >> I mean I'm not right there. >> I have no problem. >> I'm sorry. I need >> We don't need any more units. >> Let me let me adjust your handcuff. It's really tight on your hand. Okay. Just give me a second. >> I know it is. >> All right. I just got multiple hands. >> I mean I don't have any >> We're good. >> I don't cause anybody any problems. I I do what I need to do. I didn't I got you. No, we got one. She got a big bag in the center console and she got real nervous. >> When officers discovered drugs inside the car, everything started to make sense. It wasn't surprising she could take a shock most people couldn't. The report noted her agitation, her attempts to hide evidence, details that painted a clear picture of why this encounter escalated so fast. working. >> Oh, that's a big old bag. >> Can I [clears throat] please I have a cigarette? >> Please, please, please. >> You got You got a cigarette pack in there? >> Yeah. >> She wants a cigarette. >> Please. Thank you. My nerves are just shot. It's been a long day. >> Okay. Well, listen. This could have been a lot easier if you had just listened. And I don't like doing this cuz it's just more paperwork for me to do. But when you look like you were about to flee in the car and I'm not going to get run over because you have a bag of dope in the center console. I got arrested for a 15-year-old roach that they found in my car. >> But this is not a 15-year-old roach, Vicki. Come on. >> Leaving them on me. There. I don't. >> It's not mine. There's nothing in this. >> Well, I'm not asking any questions. I I'm just telling you that this is why you were asked to step out of the car. >> Neither have I. I slept. I fle I'm not a drug abuser. I'm not a drug user. >> Okay, we'll get there. We'll figure it out. This officer will talk to you more about that stuff in a little bit. He's grabbing you a cigarette now. I'm just I've gotten arrested for things I did not do several times. >> Vicki, >> it's like it's like they they said I've been singled out. Okay. >> And I I work hard, >> Vicki. All I'm saying is this. I literally watched you grab that bag that had narcotics in it and try to stuff it into the center console. Right. That's when I asked you to step out of the vehicle. So, I'm asking you to step out of the vehicle for a reason. I watched you grab the bag and put it down in the center console. >> And I've had police. >> Okay. But you obviously knew that that was something you weren't supposed to have in the vehicle and got freaked out by it, right? So, >> I'm going to hold on to that. I'm trying to find a lighter for you. >> There's I have a bunch on my door if you need one. >> Hey, Vicki. I'm going to read your rights real quick. All right. >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her present with you while you question. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you for any question if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any sense. You understand those rights are at? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. >> The woman tried to cling to her victim narrative, but that story collapsed under the weight of hard evidence. The moment she was read her Miranda rights, the interaction shifted from a traffic stop to a full-blown criminal investigation. From that point on, excuses no longer mattered. >> What's the deal with your tag again? You said it's stolen. I got it reg I went and had it renewed on the 30 I believe the 31st and ran a few errands and it was stolen out of my car. >> So it was stolen around the 31st. >> Yes. >> And and today I called the DMV and they said to file a police report >> and um they would give me another one for free. >> Okay. >> And I just haven't done that yet. >> So stolen on the 31st. >> She was >> 30th first or 30th? >> The it was either the 31st or the first. one or the other. >> No, but I I mean I didn't >> I didn't real I didn't know. I thought my tag was still good. The register I was getting registered early in >> um >> I didn't know I had a certain time limit to you know putting the tag on. >> And if the tag's not registered in the car, it's going to pop up and it'll show us that it's not. You're also not wearing a seat belt either. >> Okay. That tag that tag has been registered to me for 10 years. So I had wouldn't think it wouldn't be registered to me. >> No, I got you. Okay. But you I mean you got a new tag in the mail before you got in your car with the >> registration DMV. I went to the DMV in person and they gave me the tag. >> Okay. >> And it was in my car. I was driving home. It was in my car. I made a few stops and by the time I got home, somebody had stolen it out of my car. >> I got you. But you know when you go to the DMV, they gives you the new tag that gave you the registration with that new tag that comes back to this vehicle. So you know, >> I didn't know that this tag would not come back as me. >> It does. I mean it. Yeah. It doesn't come back to that car. That's That's >> They didn't tell me put this on immediately. >> Yeah. I got you. >> I'm not. >> All right. Um >> wasn't like I was trying to do pull a number on somebody or anything. >> Okay. >> I just didn't put it on and it got stolen and I just didn't file police report yet. >> I got you. So why'd you freak out about it over there? >> Because I >> Did you know he saw the saw the stuff? >> I want to talk to because I've told them I've told them what my history with the police was and I was never treated very well. I was never things were not honest. Um my I was on probation. The probation officer on probation right now. >> No, no, no. >> She claimed it was all bad luck, that she kept getting wrongfully arrested, but with no license plate, no seat belt, and a gift bag full of meth. No one was buying the story. What she didn't grasp was that every word she spoke could and would be used against her in court. And then you tried to flee off. >> You guys did, but in the past I haven't been. things have not been, you know, >> where where were you going to try to go when you turned on the car? >> I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't thinking. >> You were you were getting ready to flee on us >> to my home. To my home. >> For what? If because of the bag of inside the car >> because I've never been treated kindly by the police. I mean, like I said, that's all I can say is that it's >> How much how much milk is there? >> I have no idea. I have no idea. >> You don't know how much it is? >> No, it's not mine. It's not mine. >> Whose is it? >> It's not mine. I'm not gonna, you know, get the info. >> It doesn't. It's your car. You're the only occupant in the vehicle. You know, it was in the center of contact. >> I've had lots of people in my car this morning, >> Vicki. But you >> I'm like the go-to person for everybody I know. >> The thing is, it's your car. >> I know that. >> You're the only occupant of the vehicle. You went in that center console and you saw that and then you >> I'm going to answer any questions. I want my lawyer. >> All right. >> That's fine. >> Hey, Vicki. You're going to get you're what you're getting charged with today is going to be the trafficking and method. Uh and then resisting with violence. Okay. >> I didn't get >> you slap my hands around when I was trying to grab it. All right. Don't do that. >> I didn't let the courts knock it down if they want to. But that's what you're going to jail for. >> Violence. >> Huh? >> I was not violent. I said no. Verbal. >> Please can you please not not >> You're You're going to jail for it. All right. >> Okay. But can you please knock that down? If they knock if the state attorney knocks it down, they knock it down. It's up to the state attorney's office. >> Okay. >> I mean, I didn't get anybody. I didn't try to hit anybody. I didn't Nobody's lying about anything. So, I did not violently attack her. >> Okay. But if you had gotten out of the car, you wouldn't even have to worry about that car. You didn't want to get out of the car. You >> In the end, the woman was booked into jail on charges of trafficking methamphetamine and resisting an officer with violence. Under Florida law, penalties depend on the amount seized. 14 to 28 g, minimum 3 years in prison and $50,000 fine. 28 to 200 g, minimum 7 years and $100,000 fine. 200 plus g, minimum 15 years and $250,000 fine. And now comes the moment the mask falls, revealing that the mother they met was never the woman she claimed to be. On April 14th, 2023 [music] in Universal Orlando, Florida, a woman quietly slipped merchandise into a fanny pack tucked beneath a stroller and tried to walk out of the store without paying. What she didn't realize was that every move had already been watched. Security had her in their sights from the very beginning. >> This is ridiculous. You have to take me back to the place so I can get my money back for. That's all. >> I'm not put in the office though, sir. >> And what do we got to go sit in the office for? I don't know. I got to go. I got you catching everything, bro. I can't listen my lady. I got to at least let my sir at least let me let my lady atast right Listen to me. I understand you're not mad at me. I understand you're very upset right now. Okay? We're going to be real here. I'm not playing games. I need something that's not paid for. You're going to go to this office. Listen to me. Let me speak. We're going to have a conversation. I don't want to let you go. Okay? I want to keep this between you and me. All right? Just listen to me. Have a seat. Please have a seat. Got to ask you some questions. >> No, the other side. >> Yes or no? >> Yeah. >> The man accompanying her looked agitated. Not out of concern for her, but because he didn't want to be late for something else. In his world, his time mattered more than anything. Meanwhile, the woman tried to pin the blame on the kids, hoping that deflection would erase accountability. >> I did grab a couch, but my sister was yelling. So, as I walking out as fast as I walk out and feel, I guess one of the kids grabbing, but I got told her, I only have two boys. This is not my kid struggling. My boy walk is old enough. So all the stuff in there I don't know who came what I can't say that because I still walking with my sister so I can't say but I guess >> you were pushing this stroller the >> everybody was pushing it I was pushing it he was pushing she was pushing as y'all walk the captain the first all of us pushing the shoulder >> yeah I had push I had grabbed cuz my sister had her baby so I had to grab it and we was he grabbing there first and I had grabbed for him >> got so you were pushing out of the storm when they stopped you >> yeah we pushed it you officing around. I was already out. I was around when she stopped me. >> So you're already outside when they stop you. >> And then so you don't know how. >> That's why I'm telling her I can't say all that because like I say every kid in what the kids ran up and did like walk in the store. I wasn't there. I cannot tell you about my kids. >> No, I say all of them was running around. You could tell when you looked in the store. When I was in the store, the thing was empty. But none of her it was empty. The kids were running around the store. When we look for my other little niece, everybody all them got in that in here. >> So you don't know how the stuff got in there? >> That's what I'm saying. No, I didn't put it in there. >> Okay. >> You did. I'm just asking if you know how I got in there. >> No, like I told them to my sister kids. >> Girl, the little girl grabbed what she when he did little girl grab her thing back from her. >> All them kids. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. Can you walk over here for me real quick? All right. >> Unfortunately, they're pressing charges against you. show you because you're under arrest today. Okay. >> I hear all that stuff. >> Well, she said she'll say that's her stuff. The child and kid mother of my hand. >> Are yours? >> Her ability to dodge responsibility showed one thing. She was determined not to admit guilt. But even if her excuse were true, failing to watch the kids was still neglect. Because sometimes children don't invent bad behavior. They just copy what they see from the adults around them. >> Is there anything in the bag right here? >> My wallet and stuff. >> She didn't get my ID. I need my ID, too. >> Where you from? She my flight today. Okay. Who's got your kids? You got kids? Yeah. >> Who's got your kids right now? >> With who? With >> your sister. Your sister's an adult. >> Yeah. >> Is all the belongings you had was in there? >> Yes. >> Officer police station. >> The police station. So, you're going to the jail? You're going to the county jail. You're not going to the police station. You're being arrested for petty theft of $100 or more. >> Yeah. All this stuff. It wasn't even my stuff. >> So, they can't watch the camera, but see I wasn't pushing the solar all through the park. >> I I don't know if they already did or not. >> But they're los prevention and they're undercover detectives. I don't know if they saw you. So, >> I have to see that on Monday. >> Uh, it depends when they have a first appearance with the judge. >> Bond out. >> They might have one late tonight or early tomorrow. Depends. You'll be able to borrow what's the bottom 500? >> Yeah. You don't have to >> do your phone. >> Is it dead or is it just >> depends how soon they have first appearance? If they have one late tonight, early tomorrow, then you can bond out right away. If not, then you >> want $100 to a bond. >> $100 for a bond that the car. >> Yeah, it goes right. >> You hang around right away. >> Right. >> She thought she could talk her way out of it. But the moment she mentioned a prior case last year, the truth surfaced on its own. That early confidence began to fade as she started asking about court dates and bail. Denial turned into bargaining. The classic final act of a bad decision. >> I'm sorry. >> How far you about 10 minutes? 5 10 minute drive. >> You ever been arrested before? >> Yeah. >> For what? >> 12. 12. Pop. What have you been doing, girl? >> Years ago. >> Years ago when you were young and dumb. >> All right. How old are you now? >> 23. >> 32. I see. 23. >> Yeah, they'll take care of that. Yeah. Once you get put in since you already done all the paperwork for you, we're literally going to show up. We're going to get you out of the car. I'm going to go up to the desk. They're going to check you in. And then you'll be at you'll probably only be there for about 15 minutes in handcuffs. We'll have you taken out right here to the wheel. There's the car for me. >> How long will I be a little touch? >> I don't know. >> Like I said, I don't know their schedule for the hearings, but it depends how soon you can get a hearing with the judge for the hearing. >> What? >> You want the windows down? >> Yeah, I got you. Cool. That's easy. >> Hold on one second. Hold on one second. Look inside. There's nothing in there, right? All right. All right. Go ahead. I'll put the windows down too. They get you [ __ ] >> They're not comfortable. All right. >> Like I said, it's a quick ride, so we'll be there. Hope not getting too comfortable cuz even in the back of the patrol car, she talked about her flight as if that was the real problem. She didn't seem to grasp that this wasn't just an inconvenience, it was a turning point to her. Being arrested was a delay to the system. It was another record. >> You'll be able to get on your phone. I don't exactly know how long, but your process is going to be a lot faster than a normal process. And the jail, um, because I don't work inside the jail, I can't tell you exactly what they're going to say and going to do. >> Um, but they'll they'll be taking care of you here shortly. 35 catch my flight by probably 11:00. >> 11:00. >> I don't know. I don't want to say yes or no. I think so. >> Hopefully. >> Um I I just I don't want to tell you yes if it's a no. So what happened? You were pushing the stroller and >> Yeah. And she it wasn't even mad. It wasn't even my kids. And they can look on the camera and see I wasn't pushing it all. But the problem is if you had the stroller and you were pushing it past the point of sale, >> it's like driving a stolen car. Don't matter if your friend just gave it to you. If you're the one driving it, I mean, it's, you know what I'm saying? It's if you don't question where all this stuff come from. >> One of my kids. >> Yeah. Sir, >> in the end, she was taken to county jail and charged with pettit theft for merchandise valued at $66,965. If convicted, the sentence could include up to one year in county jail, probation, and restitution to Universal Orlando. So, when greed is finally full, self-destruction starts to speak. On June 6th, 2023 in Florida, police were dispatched to a high school graduation event after reports of a woman drunk and causing a disturbance. Their goal was simple. Keep her and everyone else safe. But within minutes, anger took the wheel and things spun out of control. >> What's going on? >> We're just trying to make sure she doesn't drive home. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Well, that's very nice of them. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Where do you live? Oh, >> it doesn't matter. Do you know her? >> Yes. So, I'm the assistant principal. Um, we're here having our end of year celebration. She I just showed up. She's obviously upset. I believe she's heavily intoxicated. >> Um, one of our other assistant principles was her supervisor and she had to let her go this year and so when she saw her, she start got very upset, started punching her truck truck. Hi, >> my name's Officer Debr. What seems to go be the problem? >> I need a ride home. >> You need a ride home? Where do you live at? >> Wherever they say. >> What is your name? >> It doesn't matter. >> Well, I want to talk to you like a human being. So, what's your name? >> My mother. >> Okay. But you know what? We can talk about that with your therapist. >> No, no, no, no. Not driving. >> My mother. >> Who's it? >> I'm not driving. >> You got to tell them where you live though in your name so they can take you home. >> Doesn't matter. >> It does cuz they have no >> Does this work? >> My mother. >> I don't know. I think so. >> My mother has done nothing. >> Raymond. Yeah. >> Don't you want to ride home? Cuz it might be a little bit easier if you talk to us. Is it Ray? >> No. He'll beat the hell out of me. >> So, you can either cooperate with us like we're trying to help you or not and go a different way. >> He'll beat the hell out of me. >> What is your boyfriend's name is all I'm asking. >> It doesn't matter. >> It kind of does. We're trying to help you out, but Okay. >> It's Raymond. Hey Allan, it's Raymond. >> But I'm not >> Hey, well, you don't got to throw your water. >> No, I have to. >> What's going on? Talk to me >> because I try to go in there and talk to a [ __ ] principal. >> Who's the principal? >> She returned to the very place that had fired her, drunk, agitated, and furious. The question is, why go back to the scene of rejection just to make it worse? When she lost control, her rage lashed out at anyone nearby, turning frustration into chaos. >> He's an [ __ ] >> I want to try and help you out a little bit here. >> I'm not driving. >> I know, but I'm just trying to have a conversation with you, that's all. >> Yeah, now I'm being the [ __ ] >> No, I didn't say that. >> Yeah, I'll be the [ __ ] So, what happened? >> Okay, I got Thank you. >> So, >> so you went in to try to talk to the principal, but they didn't want you to. >> No, I got an appointment tomorrow. >> Your boyfriend? >> Doesn't matter, does it? >> Well, I'd like to make sure you're safe when you leave here. Yeah, I'm safe. >> Just let me drive [ __ ] home. >> Oh, no. You're not going to let you drive. >> Hey. >> Yeah, baby. >> Yeah. He lives just right down the road. >> Okay. >> Hey. >> Yeah, baby. >> Okay. We're just hanging out. >> Don't make me know. I haven't done nothing wrong. >> You can't hit on somebody else's car. I don't care. >> She does it again. She goes to jail. Ma'am, >> let's not do that. >> Ma'am, >> go to jail. >> Ma'am. >> Mom. >> Hey, look at me. >> Ma'am, look at me. This is your last chance. Look at me. >> Mom. >> What's your name? Patricia. >> Patricia, can you look at me real quick? I haven't got to talk to you yet. Okay. >> Can you look right here? Just focus on me. I've already talked to your boyfriend who's going to pick you up and you get to go home and then just do whatever you want to do the rest of the day, >> right? >> Yeah. So just listen to me. All right. [ __ ] person. >> Can you just hear me? It >> gives [ __ ] [ __ ] >> I hear you, but please don't strike the vehicle anymore or I'm going to have to take you. Okay. >> Come on. >> What are you threatening me? >> Come on. >> Even though she admitted she was drunk and insisted she wouldn't drive, she fought every attempt to help her. It was a textbook case of cognitive dissonance, trying to maintain control while doing the very thing that destroys it. I'll [ __ ] you up. >> Nice threatening a police officer. Do you want to go to jail, ma'am? Do you want to go? >> No, I want to [ __ ] you up. >> All right, just make it happen. >> [ __ ] >> So, ma'am, we were trying to give you a chance to give you a chance and now you are going to go to jail. >> Right. >> All right. >> Right. >> So, we're going to get you up. We don't need any more charges, right? So, please cooperate. >> Understood. >> Being kind to you so far. Let's stand up. Come on. Stop. Come on. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> You're making this way worse. >> No, I'm not. >> Let go. Stop. Stop. Let go. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> Let go. Stop. Please stop. >> Don't [ __ ] with me, >> ma'am. Let go. >> Let go. Calm down. >> Let go. >> Let me get your purse. Let go of your purse. >> Let go. >> I'll leave. >> Let go. I will give it to her. Let go. >> Let it go. You don't give it to me. Okay. Okay. Patricia, stop. >> I only meant Felicia. >> Okay. Just let it go, baby. Right here. >> Okay. Give me this. >> No. No. >> No. >> Why are you being this way? >> Yeah. >> Why are you Why are you being this way? >> Nobody's messing with me. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> All right. Here, I'll grab it. >> Come on. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> I got smaller tops. >> I said don't [ __ ] with me. >> I said don't [ __ ] with me. Don't [ __ ] with me. >> You want to twist my arm? >> Nobody's twisting. We're just trying to get you back here. >> No. [ __ ] [ __ ] >> I'mma [ __ ] you up. [ __ ] you. I'mma [ __ ] you. backed into a corner people usually fight or flee, she fought. But it wasn't just alcohol fueling her. It was fear. Fear of being judged, dismissed, or powerless. So, she resisted everything, even common sense, hurting only herself in the process. >> What's going on with these things? >> Don't [ __ ] with me. >> Don't [ __ ] with me. too much. [screaming] >> Don't [ __ ] with me. I'm [ __ ] with you. [screaming] [crying] Pick her up. [screaming] Got it. >> All right. I'm call boyfriend back. You cancel. >> You were supposed to be You were supposed to be That was progressively going to get worse no matter where. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Knock it off. [screaming] >> Pick it up. >> Oh, [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. >> What is your problem? >> Oh, [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. How did she burn anything? >> I hope they don't have the hooks for it. You're about to get >> [ __ ] [screaming] I'll kick the [ __ ] out of you, [ __ ] I'll kick the [ __ ] out of you. I'll kick the [ __ ] out of you. My man is on his way. My man is on his way. Go ahead. [screaming] I'll kick the [ __ ] out of you. >> I'll keep the [ __ ] out of sit. >> I'll kick the [ __ ] out of you. >> Losing your job hurts, but coming back drunk to the same place, that's self-destruction on replay. She may have just buried her last chance to ever teach again. And her boyfriend, he must have had nerves of steel to stay through that storm. Come here. >> Cuz I don't I'm done like home. No, I'm in there and I can't even have my last harrah with my family and friends in there >> because of this [ __ ] >> that I did not plan on doing. I kept saying the whole time I'm not babysitting a grown adult. >> Just hang in here, hang out, go do your thing. I'll be in the back >> and I'll tell him, "Hey, your keys are there." What was your name? >> Felicia. >> Felicia. He'll grab them and that's it. >> I'll have them right here. >> Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate you. I'll kill you. >> 777. >> I'll kill you. >> Huh? >> [ __ ] you. >> For a little bit, sir. >> My location to the Waw Wa starting mile on 534. >> 163. You don't even know. >> You don't even know. You don't even know. >> You [ __ ] [ __ ] >> You want to take it out? You're welcome to. Hello. >> Hello. >> Do not understand. He's not coming over here. >> Is not coming here >> for me. >> Whatever you want to do. You're not coming here. >> In the end, the woman was taken to county jail and charged with resisting an officer with violence and disorderly intoxication. If convicted, she could face jail time, probation, suspended sentence, and fines, all on top of the $3,000 bond already posted. She thought she'd hit rock bottom that night, but the truth is there's always another drop below. On January 25th, 2025 in Florida, a [music] late night 911 call brought police to the home of a tense married couple. The wife insisted it was just a small misunderstanding, but her evasive behavior and what officers observed told a very different story. >> I got a body cam. What's going on? [clears throat] >> That's literally all it was. Like, uh, I overreacted. That's really all it was. It's like I'm not harmed. I'm not going to like >> Okay. So, what happened today? >> We just got in. That's all it was. Like there's nothing like he's never put his hands on me. >> Okay. You told dispatch that he pushed you today. >> Yeah. I got angry. I said that and it was nothing. I I >> So, it wasn't true. >> I mean, it was, but like it was, you know, we've we've done that before. just like, you know, it's it was just a plain argument. >> So, why did he why did he push you? >> It was just a simple argument. It was it. And we talked it out. And that's why I tried to get off the phone with dispatch and say that it was nothing cuz literally it was nothing. >> It was nothing. And I I feel so sorry. I'm >> So, I guess why did he shove you in what sense? >> We just we just got an argument and I pushed him and he pushed me and and that was it. And and then we talked about it and he was like, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." While I was on the phone with him and that's why I was like, "You guys don't have to come out here. It's fine." >> Okay. Do you have a license on you? >> I do not. >> I don't deal really really I cannot take you upstairs to my apartment because my dogs are [ __ ] >> Okay. >> Yes. I really don't want to get in on a trailer. There's no point. You guys >> I I have to talk to him. You know what I mean? So, I have to at least talk to him and then we'll figure it out. Um what's his phone number? >> Can I call him? [clears throat] >> Yeah, just hang tight. What's his phone number? >> Uh >> the officer listened patiently as the woman tried to downplay what happened. But under domestic violence protocol, police are required to investigate anytime there's a report of physical contact. And in her attempt to explain it away, she unknowingly confessed to the very act that made it a crime. >> The police officer is down here. I just want you to let him know that like there's nothing really going on. >> I have no visible anything in me. Like so I actually for no reason. I didn't even say that. >> So, you just picked it up. >> Yeah. I don't even remember. >> Did you put your [snorts] hands on him? Did you push him? Did you hit him? Anything like that? >> Push him. But >> Okay, Jessica, we're going to go ahead and we're just going to take care of this right now. Okay, >> William doesn't want to tell you bye. So, I'm going to allow him to do that. I just got to put your hands first. >> Hey, Jake, you're good. Yep. Hold up. Take a couple deep breaths. >> No. Get him away from me. Get him away from me. >> Okay. All right. You're fine, >> Jessica. Settle [laughter] down. Take some deep breaths. Deep breaths in. Okay. [gasps] Deep breaths in. So, I don't know if I could be the buffer on this one, but [laughter] he does not want to pursue criminal charges. Okay. >> I don't want you to take my you take my stuff. He can't have his stuff. >> Listen. Listen. He's not This is all your stuff. Okay. [gasps] [laughter] >> What is this? >> That's my ear plug in my ear. >> All right. Instead of that problem, [laughter] we have to make an arrest. Okay. He did flat out tell me that he does not want to pursue charges, so he's going to go to the judge and drop the charges. She wasn't truly panicking. It was a performance. The over-the-top emotion, the controlled breathing, the deliberate pauses, all signs of someone aware of what they're doing. When it suited her, she could stop the panic attack entirely and speak with perfect composure. I didn't bring everything with me. My phone, my everything, my cigarettes, everything. >> So, cigarettes aren't allowed and neither are the lighters. >> You're saying you're taking everything with me? >> Oh, I'm sorry. We're going to go over here. phone. My everything. >> I'm going to have your phone. Yes. >> My phone and your keys. >> Cigarettes. My keys. >> Your cigarettes aren't allowed. So, you can't have the cigarettes. >> No. No. No. I'm not asking to have a cigarette. I'm just asking >> They're not allowed at the jail. >> I'm just asking it's going to be with my stuff. >> No, cuz they're not allowed at the jail. >> Go ahead. Lift that bottle. We're going to head over to that door on the left. >> I'm sorry. >> Well, just go. You're the one who told me you pushed it. And he said he doesn't want to pursue criminal charges. I just have to do this. >> Yeah. And you have to see anything. Why do you think that my stretched ear logo was in my pockets? Because you pushed me. [laughter] >> Do I have to pay a bond or something? I've never been. >> No, because it's a massive battery. I have to save jobs. There's no bond. What happens? I don't understand. >> They're going to hook you in and then you got to see >> Jessica, you're going to give yourself [laughter] I'm not trying to >> I already will help you if you prom. Her dramatic soon gave way to anger. [music] In her mind, the system wasn't there to protect anyone. It was there to punish her. That sense of victimhood became her shield, transforming guilt into outrage and helplessness into defiance. >> Okay. Put your hands in front. Okay. Can you see us? Cuz if you outside or do you want do you want to be hands to the wall so you can't freeze? >> Can I just just freeze? >> Here. Let's get over this. Okay. [laughter] >> I'm sorry. >> You're fine. >> [sighs and gasps] [panting] [panting] >> Can you please take me somewhere or like I don't know but wherever I'm supposed to go because this is like really frightening. Please just take me wherever I'm supposed to go. I'm so sorry. I'm just like, >> we're just waiting on the jail. Okay. [laughter] >> Just freaking out right now. This has never happened to me. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. >> She repeated the same words over and over as if trying to convince herself that this was all just a bad dream. But the law doesn't pause for tears. She wasn't afraid of the charges. She was terrified of not going home that night. >> I'm not trying to be annoying you. I really not. I'm sorry. Like after everything in the morning, can the judge just miss me and let me just like go home or like what happens? >> Uh it's really up to the judge. Um but I put in my report that >> I just like I've never been through something like this before. I've never been arrested. I've never done more than just a speeding ticket. >> [clears throat] >> I don't really understand. >> So, I'm putting in the report that um William does not want to pursue any charges. Um so, hopefully they'll see that and then they'll decide. >> I just don't understand. There's so many times where other stuff has happened and I've never said anything. I just I just don't understand. I'm sorry if I'm being aggravating to you cuz I really don't want to be understand that this is your job. I just don't get it. >> You're fine. In the end, the woman was charged with domestic battery. If convicted, penalties could include up to one year in jail, probation, mandatory anger management, or domestic violence intervention classes and fines. However, since the alleged victim did not wish to press charges, the court may consider probation or diversion in place of incarceration. And in the end, the woman who thought she was untouchable finally had to bow her head before the law. On October 10th, 2023 in Florida, one car, one fake plate, and one forgotten warrant. What should have been a routine arrest turned into something far bigger [music] because within seconds, this woman made sure it was no ordinary stop. >> Victoria, >> I'm Victoria. >> You're Victoria? >> Yeah. >> Can I talk to you for a minute? >> On my property. >> Can I talk to you for a minute? >> Please don't come on my property. >> Okay. Can I talk to you for a minute? >> No. What do you need to talk to me about? Victoria, what's your last name, hun? >> I don't have a last name. >> What is your last name? >> I don't need to give you my name. Okay. >> Okay. >> You are private corporation. >> Do you have ID on you? >> I am at my property and you don't belong on my property. >> Do you have ID? >> What do you need my ID for? >> Okay. So, you're detained right now. >> For what? >> I just need you to relax. >> There's a warrant up for your arrest. >> What are you talking about? >> What did I do? >> Just relax. This is Relax. Relax. >> Relax. >> Leave me alone. >> Just relax. >> Leave me alone. >> Relax. Relax. Please relax. >> Show me the word.

You are all Get out of here. You're trying to kill me. >> We are not trying to move. >> You are a sonic human trafficker. Okay. Get off me, please. Get off me. >> Stop. >> Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. Need a warrant. Show me your warrant.

Get off. >> This is my private home. >> From the start, she refused to acknowledge any authority, no ID, no cooperation, just demands to see the warrant and declarations of her rights. She truly believed she could out talk the law as if saying, "I don't consent," would make the handcuffs disappear. >> Get off me, please. >> Victoria, please relax. >> Get off. >> Take a couple deep breaths. >> Get off me, please. >> Get off. Get off. >> Don't grab my hand. >> Show me the warrant. Show me the warrant. >> Show me the warrant. >> Show me the warrants. You have no right to detain me. >> You have no right to detain me. >> You got it on. I got it on. >> All right, everyone. >> Warren. The warrant. Can >> I get it? No. >> You are killers. You are killers. >> You are human trafficking killers. >> Get off. >> Victoria, relax. >> More coming. >> Get off me. Get off me. Show me the warrant. >> We will if you stop. >> You do not. You leave my body alone. >> Victoria, please. >> You are kidnapping me. >> We are not. >> You are kidnapping me. Get off me, please. Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. Please get off me. You have no right to hold me hostage. You have no right to kidnap me. >> Relax. >> Get off me. >> Let us handcuff you. We will talk to you. >> No, you do not talk to me like that. You own my property. Just get off me. I said, >> Victoria, relax. >> Get off me now. Can you get off me? >> Your hands in the way. >> Get off me. >> All right. Wait, we got one more. >> Get off me. >> Victoria, >> what do you want? >> Breathe. >> Why are you doing this to me? >> Relax. >> I have never done anything to anyone. >> Relax. >> Get off me. >> Breathe and relax. >> I said get off me. Get off me. >> I can't get her cuff. >> Get off me. >> She shouted wild accusations, clearly trying to provoke a reaction to make the officers lose composure so she could play the victim. It's a classic tactic. discredit the system by creating chaos. But the officers didn't bite. They'd seen this act too many times before. >> Get off me, you [ __ ] rapist and human traffickers. [screaming] Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. >> There we go. All right, let's get her in. >> You are private corporation. You have no government. Okay, >> relax. You're not the government. You're human traffickers. >> You need to get off me. You will pay for this. Do you understand? I am an American. >> I'm a Floridaian. >> I know one I protected by 92 custody. >> I have right. >> Okay. You have no right to do this for me. You are me against my will. >> You are kidnapped against my will. I am an American. I'm a radian. I'm not a US citizen. >> Just hold her here for a second. >> Kidnapping me. >> I got 51. >> I am going to go for this [ __ ] Okay. You have no right to arrest me. You have no right and steal my bag. >> You give me back my bag and my belongings and my private property. Let me get a vacuum. >> Can we get her? Um >> anything obvious in her pockets? >> Leave everything here. You give me back the keys. >> Of course. Right out here. >> You know, >> you give me back my keys and my property. >> You're going to get her. Have a seat back there for now. >> Just have a seat. >> Show the warrant. Show me the warrant. Show me the warrants, sir. You sick man. You psychopath. >> Trust me, if this were some grand kidnapping conspiracy, they picked the worst possible target. She screamed, insulted, and accused all while calling them crazy. The irony was almost poetic. Because when anger meets ignorance, the outcome is never logic. It's just noise. The >> government, your private corporation working for the United Nations, the United Nations that now own this country. Okay? Victoria, [clears throat] >> you're not allowed to touch me. >> Victoria, do you have anything on my >> You're not allowed to touch me. >> Victoria, >> you're not allowed to touch me. >> No, I have nothing on my pockets. Okay. >> You are not allowed to touch me. You are kidnapping me against my will. I'm not a voluntary. >> I'm not a voluntary breathe. >> Slave of yours. Okay. >> Do this.

Okay, you six foot. >> All right, Victoria, we're going to have a seat now. All right, step up. There you go. That was easy. >> Okay, step back for >> cuz you're clearly not a human. Okay, you have no conscience and you have no orange and you are psychopath. Okay, you're a profit psychopath. >> That's kind of rude. >> Yeah, that you are the one who's rude. Look at you. You have 10 people over here because you have nothing else to do. And the United Nations is paying you to kill people, to traffic children, to steal homes, to run this >> psychopathic mind on everybody. >> She kept playing the victim, turning every question into an accusation. Instead of taking responsibility, she invented a bigger enemy to blame. She wasn't fighting the cops. She was fighting reality itself. And in her mind, the victim always wins. >> Thank you. >> You're assaulting and kidnapping me. Okay? And you have it on your record what it's going to cost you to kidnap me. >> Because you have no right to kidnap me. You are an employee of the private corporation that's not even owned by this country. It's a foreign corporation. You are foreign agents. >> I'm sorry that you have a hard time understanding how corporations work. We are proposing corporations, the posture corporations, and every corporation that's engaged in fraud, kidnapping, crimes against humanity, trafficking children.

You're not sure where your boss is? >> I asked clearly quickly. >> Who do you work for? >> City of Sarasota. >> City of Sarasota. You know who owns City of Sarasota? >> Citizens of Sarasota. >> In the end, she was taken to jail and charged with resisting an officer without violence and displaying a counterfeit tag or decal. Her bond was set at $2,000 and she now faces the full weight of both misdemeanor and felony charges. On December 20th, 2024, cops showed up to help with an eviction. But behind that locked door were three kids left alone in a pitch black apartment. [music] No power, no water, no food, and mom nowhere to be found. How did those poor kids even survive? Well, here's what went down next. >> Oh, and the last here. I was here like a couple hours ago. I just >> Yeah. I just have to read you your rights so you're aware >> I'm being arrested. I >> I just have to read your rights. >> The questions we're asking, he has to read them. >> Silent not answer any of my questions, right? >> Okay. >> I can make no threats to promise or to induce you to make a statement. And this must be out of your own. Is there any reason why the kids aren't at school today? question. >> Uh the kids are not at school today because my car is having problems and today this week was the last week before winter break and so I decided to keep them here but I don't even really live here. This is my cousin house but she's in Georgia. >> What's her name? >> Julie. >> So Julie's in Georgia. She rents this place up. >> Yes. >> Okay. And she gives you permission of stuff I have to ask. I'm actually supposed to be like trying to help her move out. >> And you guys have all just been staying here the past 3 days. >> Oh yeah. I mean they just if you're if you guys were here because they didn't go to school. They just didn't go to school today because it's the last week and then I'm supposed to be trying to get up out of here. So >> Okay. >> So the last 3 days you guys have been eating eating, sleeping, all that stuff here. >> Uh yes, the last 3 days. >> Okay. So when we got in there I noticed there was no food in there. >> Mhm. So >> because my cousin supposedly was trying to um leave this place, so she had already like disconnected her power and everything like that. So today we were supposed to be leaving after I came back from you know supposed to be grabbing the kids and >> they noticed that three kids were here, right? >> So then we tried to get in contact with you and we couldn't get in contact with you but so we looked around again. There's no food, no water, and property management came here and said that this room hasn't had power for the last 2 3 weeks. >> No, that's I mean, when we got here, it didn't. But my whole goal of coming here was to help her get some of the stuff out to move out. I actually just ended up staying the night here a couple of nights, but that was about it, though. Today was the day that we were supposed to be leaving, though. >> So, for the last 3 days, there's been no power in this house. The last 3 days there wasn't no power here, but my kids um go to school up here, so they were in school. They weren't like here the whole time. >> Okay. And >> I'm sorry. Where where do you do you work or where do you work? >> Mom claimed she was working from home, yet the power had been cut for days. Classic move. Blame the circumstances instead of owning up. Truth is, the stress of life clearly wrecked her judgment. She couldn't even recognize how dangerous it was to abandon her own kids in conditions like that. >> Can I get customer service? >> Okay. All right. Well, listen, based off the investigation and what we've seen and what we've heard. >> Yeah. And then um just a couple more things. Um so we asked them like how they communicate with you like something would happen here. Um they had no means of like communicating. No, because my my 15-year-old son, he he has a phone, but his phone recently got broke. Like like >> And you drove here? >> No, I didn't. I >> definitely said it was a lot longer than when you said before you guys were staying here. >> I mean, they were young. They were little kids. >> Oldest? >> No. No. >> Saying you're saying 2 3 days. >> Yes. I'm saying 2 3 days. Yes. >> So you think >> Yes. them being kids. I understand what you're trying to say, but they know the difference between 2 to 3 days and 2 to 3 months. Correct. >> No, they were here for 2 to 3 days. We haven't been here 2 to 3 months. My cousin was here. We visited here. We came here. We left and stuff like that. So, she was supposed to be moving out. Like I >> 3 weeks they've been here without furniture and stuff. No bed, no nothing. Sleeping on the floor. >> No, for past couple of days we've been here. My cousin already moved out everything she had here. And >> when did she move out? >> She moved out like maybe two weeks ago, but I still had stuff here because I was like in between homes, but I still had stuff here. So today was the day I was supposed to come and collect all my stuff and leave here. So that's why my kids didn't go to school cuz we have a lot of things going on that I was trying to move >> of what we responded to and what our investigation conducted. >> Right. Unfortunately, you're going to be placed under arrest for child neglect. Okay. >> I know, but like why am I under arrest? Explain everything right now. Just turn around. >> I know, but can you explain that first? >> I'm not fighting anybody any harder than it has to be. Okay. I know, but I'm not >> together like you're pranking. >> Put your hands together like you're praying. >> This poor 15-year-old had to step up and play parent, cooking, cleaning, and looking after the little ones. Meanwhile, mom was out here worrying about clearing her head instead of clearing the bills. If only she worked half as hard at parenting as she did at making excuses, maybe this family wouldn't have ended up like this. Can I at least talk to my kids? Like my son, like just tell them what like tell my kids what's going on. >> We're not like >> No, you guys are my kids are right inside. They don't know what's going on. Can I please talk to my son? >> Please get in the elevator. >> [ __ ] um orphans or anything like his half family. >> We're going to give you a chance. Okay. >> You don't have to hold my hand so tight, sir. I'm not going to run on handcuffs. >> That's fine, man. I'm sorry. I just I have to do my job. Okay. When can I call my family, please? >> All right. So, >> when can I call my family, please? >> I told you I would explain everything. So, I'm going to explain everything to you. Okay. So, we did we did a lot more research other than just coming here, finding them here, and speak to the property management. And they said that the power like there was no power here. They they turned it on now as a courtesy because they saw the kids in there and they brought them water and everything. Okay. The deputy was here. He was evicting whoever the resident was prior. It it wasn't you guys. It was whoever was staying here prior. Now we know that was your cousin. >> That was my cousin. >> Correct. >> Yes. >> Okay. And then my partner here, he interviewed the kids and there's a lot of inconsistencies with what he said and what he said. >> I mean, they're kids though. They're kids. So, they're kids. >> The first thing you told us when we came outside is your son is grown and he's old enough >> to watch my kids. Yes, he's 15 years old. >> Cops found three cell phones sitting pretty. While the kids didn't even have one to call for help. Isn't that something? Moms like her only start worrying about who's going to watch my kids. they saw after the cuffs go on. And the saddest part, she still doesn't get what the real problem is. >> Before they come here, >> they're going to come and they're going to have a conversation with you. >> They're going to ask >> I'm going to sit here in this car until DCF gets here. I can't speak to my kids. >> Relax. Just we're going to figure it out for you. Just give us a second. Okay. >> Okay. Can Can I please at least know what I'm being under arrest for? >> Child neglect. You know what neglect means? >> Child neglect. Okay. And what else? What What else did I do? >> Child neglect. Because my kids were here. >> Okay. >> It's Well, I we explained to you. >> You're explaining it. You're putting it as if you left your kids in a household with stuff with food with water. There's no food and they have >> because my cousin cut off all of her stuff when she left. So, yes, I'm not disagreeing with you, of course. >> And that's why I left. My kids go to school every day. So, my kids are not here every day. My kids go to school. They just didn't go to school today, which I should have found a way to send them to school. Then all of this, then I would never be in this mess. 5 days before Christmas, I'm going to jail for child neglect. I never neglect my kids. Never. Never. Ever. The one day I don't send them to school. For one day that they don't go to school. All of this. I'm going to jail. Child neglect. All of this for one day that they didn't go to school. >> Thing prior to this, >> we were staying in Boon Beach. Like I said, sir. >> But so again, the oldest one is the one we spoke to the most. >> I'm not sure what he told you guys out of fear, out of being scared. I mean, hell, you guys probably scared my kids to death. So that's whatever he said. He's a kid. He probably was scared to death. Four or five police officers in his face. Like what do you And you guys probably approached him like a like a like he was a black suspect. Ain't no telling what how you guys came at my kids. So out of fear, he could have said anything. out of fear, he could have said anything. So, whatever he said is what he said. But like I said, I know my kids, he probably was scared out of his mind. Didn't know what to say, what to do, what what and just said whatever. Told you guys whatever you guys wanted. >> She kept rambling about how it was 5 days before Christmas. Yeah. But instead of twinkling lights, sugar cookies, hot cocoa, and holiday movies, her kids were stuck in a dark, freezing apartment with no power, no water, and no food. Christmas is supposed to be about love. But for her, the only person that mattered was herself. >> But it's okay. I understand. End of the year, you guys need to get paid or whatever the you guys need to do. So yeah, so be it. [ __ ] I'm pretty sure it's bigger things happening out there in the world that you guys should be worried about. Pretty sure it's somebody somewhere dying >> that you guys should be tending to. >> Stop kicking the car, please. >> Your sister's on her way. Okay. >> Okay. But I asked to speak to her. >> I'm putting it on speaker for you. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> Yes. Lovely. >> Yeah, I'm on my way to go get them. >> Huh? >> I'm on my way to go get them now. >> Please hurry up cuz they talking about calling these DCF people. I don't need my kids in no DCF home before Christmas. 5 days before Christmas. I see a lot of I'm not damaging your car. And as far as I could see, I see a lot of footprints down there that I did not make. So obviously, it's been kicked before. So I'm not damaging your car. All right. Can you stop kicking my car? We've been We show nothing but respect to you. Please don't kick my car. Okay. I I don't We none of us came here with the intention of doing this. We didn't want to do this. We don't want to do this. But it comes down to liability on our part, and we have to do our job. All right. I didn't have to call your sister. I didn't have to do any of that. Obviously, I want the kids to be with family. >> In the end, Maximab Basil was arrested and charged with child neglect without great bodily harm. Under Florida law, that's a thirdderee felony. If convicted, she's looking at up to five years in prison, five years of probation, and a $5,000 fine. On top of that, she could lose custody if the court rules she's unfit to be a parent. So, what do you think? Is Maxima Basil a victim of tough circumstances or just a flatout irresponsible mother? From a bad mom to someone even SNL would look at and say, "Girl, this ain't a skit." On March 15th, 2023, a cars parked smack in front of the exit, blasting music like it's Coachella, right in the middle of a parking lot. Locals called the cops [music] thinking the driver was drunk and causing a scene. When officers arrived, things went downhill fast. And here's how it all played out. >> No, I live here. >> Do you got an ID on you, ma'am? >> I do. >> Okay. Can I see that real quick? How much have you had to drink tonight? Um, a lot. >> Where were you uh planning on going? >> No, just here. >> Just here? >> Yeah. >> You were just going to drive around a little bit? >> Uh, no. I wasn't even driving. I was just listening to music. >> Okay. Cuz you're kind of parked in the middle of the entrance. >> I know. No. Yeah. And I I feel I work here, too. Darling. >> Okay. You work here? >> Yeah. >> Okay. When like I know you already said you had a lot to drink, but like can you give me an estimate how how much you've had? Um, oh no, not a lot. A thousand drinks. >> A thousand drinks. Okay. Or you parked somewhere and then you decided to drive right here. >> You know what I mean? Cuz you're not really in a parking spot right now. >> No. And I feel like God. >> So, can you do me a favor and step out of the car? I'm just going to run you through some uh >> No, I don't want to step out. >> You don't want to step out of the car? Okay. Well, at this point, I'm not asking you to step out. So, I I need you to step out of the car. >> In a better place from here. >> I'm No, you can't you can't drive it away right now. I'm going to need you to step out of the car. Okay. >> I don't want to. >> Okay. Well, I'm not asking you. I I need you to step out of the car. You You've told me yourself that you're drunk. You've said that you've been drinking tonight. So, I'm going to need you to step out of the car. Okay. I'm not asking you. I'm telling you to do it. And if you don't do it, we're going to have to take you out ourselves. And I don't want to have to do that. >> Don't take me out in a bad way. Just let me sit here. Here. Okay. Please, >> Drake, can you give me those? All right, perfect. Thank you. And then can you just step out? >> I don't want. >> Hannah admits she's been drinking. Helpful, sure, but it's also pretty clear she has no clue how serious this is. Despite multiple explanations and plenty of chances to do the right thing, she clings to that steering wheel like it's going to save her from reality. >> Had a drink tonight. >> No, I just I just don't know what to say. >> Well, just the truth. >> Not enough. >> Not enough. >> No, not enough. So when you told me that you're a little bit drunk and then you said you had a lot to drink and then you told me you had a thousand drinks. >> Thousand drinks. >> Yeah, that's what you told me. >> So you think that's legit? >> I mean I know that you're exaggerating when you say that. >> So then when I step out of this car so then I get a DUI. Can I just back the car back up? >> No, I I can't let you do that. Okay, we'll take care of the we'll take care of the car >> because you're you're drunk. You just you've already told us that you've been drinking. >> You said it yourself that you're drunk. I can't let you drive this car. The car? Yeah. I mean, at this point, if you step out of the vehicle, we can run you through some tests and then we'll work from there. Okay. >> No, I'm not doing tests. You're >> not going to do tests for us whatsoever. >> This guy's got to come in here now. Oh, you can go somewhere somewhere else. You're like, >> "No, I'm not getting out of the car." No, I'm not. >> We told you this is your chance. Either you step out of the car. >> No, I don't want to. >> You don't have a choice. It's either stepping out of the car or we're going to drag you out of the car. >> My lawyer. No, my lawyer. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Last chance. It's either step out of the car or we're going to pull out >> right now. Get out of the car. >> Hannah. >> Hannah, get out of the car. >> No. >> Hannah. >> Oh, I am so strong. >> We're going to get out of the car. >> Oh, let's see. You guys struggle. >> Hannah, stop. >> Hannah, get out of the car. >> Two guys on me right now. Calm the [ __ ] down. No. Get out of the car. >> I need to calm the down. >> You don't tell us what to do. >> I just >> No. >> No. >> You're under arrest. Get on your stomach. >> Get on your stomach, you [ __ ] >> All right, Hannah. We're going to roll you to your side. Okay. >> No. No. Sit me up. No. >> That's what we're going. >> Lesson of the day. Weight isn't strength. After today's wrestling match, at least three officers probably left with slipped discs. Just a reminder, sometimes the heaviest thing isn't guilt, it's the suspect. >> Who is this now? >> Hi. >> Ready. One. There we go. >> All right. We're going to walk back towards that car right there. >> Just give me a second. >> You can't make me go in there. I will fight to the end. >> Then you get more charges. Then charge me up. I've been in county. I get it. >> Okay. >> Hey, what's going on? Hi. >> Oh, it's a big boy. >> What's going on? >> DUI arrest and then she wouldn't get out of the car. >> No, not in Dest. >> There's an arrest. Okay. So, what else? >> Then we pull her out of the car. She resists getting out of the car. >> Okay. >> No, she says she won't get in back squad car. >> Are you hurt? >> No. >> No. Okay. You got to go in back of the squad car. >> No, I'm not. I want to have my phone. >> You can do that at the police department. >> No. No. No. I can't. >> That's not going to happen right now. Well, then I will fight to the death till I do that. >> Do you understand what that means? >> Yeah. >> You understand that we'll end up putting you in a rat? >> I'm ready. I am I'm so pumped. Just let me call make one phone call. >> One phone call right now. >> Yep. >> Okay. Will you cooperate if we make this phone call? >> I know you're a big boy. I like to call you. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. >> I know you are. I know you are. I know you're kidding. I know you're kidding. >> I like it. I'm into it. And I want you to just go just do it. I'm happily married. >> All right, chill, guys. Both of you guys chill the [ __ ] out. Let me count my shoulders. All right, I'm putting her on speaker phone. Sit. Lose it. Just let them know that I am um I don't know what to say. Save me from the police station. Okay, that's all I have to say. Hang up the phone. God, you're a jerk. Are you ready to go to sleep? No, not when you when you said we had a deal. >> I know I'm not taking the deal. No, not going in there. >> Okay, open the door. Put her inside the car. >> At first, Hannah agreed. Let me make a call, then I'll get in the squad car. Yeah, right. Soon as that call ended, she flipped the script, refusing to get in, thrashing around, kicking, twisting like a toddler on Red Bull. Officers had no choice but to deploy the WP restraint to keep everyone safe. >> Oh my god, you guys have no idea how bad this [ __ ] >> I'm not going in here. I willingly rip my arms out. I'm not going in thising car. Call her again. What's that rat? >> This little rat. >> Yeah, it's going to go around my stuff. >> Yeah. Put the harness overhead [laughter] are supposed to lift me up. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> You two on this side. You want to open the squad car? >> You throw me in there? Oh, there's no way. There's no way. >> Ready? On three. Ready? One, two, three. >> Stop. Stop. There's no way. There's no way. Oh [ __ ] >> Lean forward. >> No way. Lean forward. >> Oh, my shoulders out. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, you [ __ ] stop. >> What's going on, girl? >> Excuse me. >> Yeah. >> What's going on, >> Hannah? Breathe. >> Hannah. >> Hannah. >> Put her on her side. >> Yeah, put her on her side. Breathe, Hannah. >> Hannah, breathe. Just relax. Stay laying on the ground, Hannah. >> Nope. Just stay laying on the ground. >> Stay on the ground. If she wants to sit up, let us >> You want to sit up, Hannah? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> We got a blanket for you, Hannah. Okay. >> Let me get up. Hold on. No, >> no. Why am I sitting here? Cuz you passed out. >> Okay. I know. I didn't pass out. >> She did not. Hey, she wants to stay. Let her stay. >> Let me help. Help me out. Help me out. You want to get help? >> Yeah. >> Lean against the car. >> No. No. Let me get out by myself. >> Okay. So, I guess there's nothing wrong with your shoulders, then you >> I'm just going to walk home. >> You're not going home. >> Uh, you're being arrested. >> You're not going home. You're being arrested. >> Even getting her into the WAP wasn't easy. Hannah kept twisting, buckling her knees, flopping around, and faking a shoulder injury to fight it off. But in the end, her body gave up, but her mouth sure didn't. She kept running it, refusing to admit she'd already lost this battle. >> They're going to evaluate you. Okay. But you're going to be arrested. You're not going back in your car. >> No, I'm not going to be playing. You're being arrested for DUI. >> Let's just take the car back over here. So, >> you're not going back in that car. >> Well, I didn't say I was going back in the car. >> No, that car is being towed to a lot. >> That's fine. >> Okay. But right now, you're going to jail. >> Well, no one for what? >> For DUI. >> No, not >> these officers told you. So, right now you just wasted these guys time. You don't need them. Is that your >> uh this tell what I'm just going to walk back? >> You're not walking back. >> Uh then what? Why can't I walk back? >> Because you are under arrest. >> For what? >> For DUI. >> For DUI? >> Yeah, for DUI. You're under arrest. You're not going to your house. You're refusing. Then tell them you refuse. >> Because when they leave, you're going in that car. I will get that wrap out. >> Oh, in the cop car. >> Yeah. And I'm going to wrap you up and you're going Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. >> And this fake Caesar ain't going to have ain't going to work again. >> And the fake What? The fake seizure. >> Oh, you said fake seizure. >> I mean, you were in it and add it like it was nothing and now all a sudden you're getting yourself up and you were complaining about your shoulder being dislocated. >> No, I'm good. >> Right. You're good. >> Do you want these guys? Do you need their help? >> Nope. Not. >> So, is that a refusal? >> Okay, this time we're going to continue and we're going to be careful when we pick her up. Come on. >> There you go. >> No, not going in there. >> You have the ankle strap. >> Stop spinning your knees like that. Okay. Ready. Ready. One. >> All right. We got to put our seat belt on. >> Yep. >> No. My seat belt. You can't put a [ __ ] seat belt on me. Who says that? Let's put a seat belt on her. You close the [ __ ] door. Close theing door. [ __ ] you. Who is this? >> Hannah was finally booked and charged with DUI, resisting arrest, and disorderly [music] conduct. Penalties could include hefty fines, license suspension, or revocation, probation, or even 6 months to 3 years in jail, depending on how bad her record looks, when arrogance moves from the stage to donation checks. And this time, the law is the audience. On June 25th, 2022 in Georgia, a 911 call reports a fight breaking out outside a hotel. A woman in a white dress barefoot showing clear signs of being assaulted. Witnesses confirm things are getting out of control. Officers rush to the scene when and what happens next. No one saw it coming. >> Seriously? >> Yeah, seriously. >> There's no problem. >> Well, there is a problem. >> What is the problem that was called in? because there's a disturbance between you and another bell. >> Someone doesn't want to stay at the hotel. I've got to drive home. I'm sobering up. >> So, I'm standing here to sober up to go back home. >> Where's home at? >> Home is in Brook Haven. My daughter has a 17th. >> Do you have your ID with you? >> [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> Oh [ __ ] >> That's what happens when we're intoxicated outside and then you're sitting there telling me that >> I'm not I'm not You're telling me that. Well, there was a cause out here and that's the reason why I'm out here. >> No, there wasn't. >> I'm actually just trying to go home. >> Do that, too. >> Okay. >> But what I'm saying is just about you got a bunch of >> I know you need >> Oh my god. Okay. Homeless. >> All right. Go get a job. >> Really? >> You got nothing to do with calling this in with >> I support Dunwitty. I finance Dunwitty. I have a business in Dunwitty. >> I'm not going to do this. based on them. >> I don't know who them is, but them did not call. >> I make good decisions. I make good decisions to make better for myself. There's my ID. >> Jesus Christ. Seriously. >> 261 name Dworth. >> Look at my salon. I've got a business in this area. last name is going to be spelled E R A Alpha >> and the first name is Carol. >> Right off the bat, she comes in hot with the whole I'm different attitude, bragging about being from New York, owning a business, acting like that somehow puts her above everyone else. And then full-on condescension, mocking the officers, the bystanders, even a homeless man nearby. Real classy. >> I'm not driving. I'm going to my hotel room. I'm not driving. >> Okay. Well, listen to me. You're intox. >> Yeah. I'm going >> one more. I'm going to go ahead and take you to jail. Do you understand me? It does not matter. You are out in the public area. You're intoxicated and you're one you're cussing at people walking down the road. That had nothing to do with you. You >> guys are ridiculous. >> Go ahead and lock her up for for me. Go ahead. You're under arrest right now. For what? >> For dislo. Stop. What am I doing? >> Relax your arms. >> Relax before you catch another charge. >> Come on. >> Relax. >> I'm trying to wait for Uber. >> I don't care. Relax your arms. >> I'm waiting for Uber. >> Relax your arms. >> What are you doing, Angela? >> You didn't do nothing. I am. >> Who? I'm just waiting for Uber to go back to Brook Haven. My daughter just turned 17. I got a hotel room. >> Jail, unfortunately. Have a seat in the car. >> There's no charges under anything. Get in the car now. >> I'm not going to argue with you about it. Have a seat in the truck. >> Seriously, I company. I donate to Dun Woody. >> Get in the back of the Tahoe before you get another. >> Oh my god. >> Inside the truck. >> Seriously. >> Dead serious. >> I've done nothing. >> Okay, slide on this seat. Really? >> I don't know how many times more I've got to tell you. Yes. Really? >> Really? >> Yeah. >> I'm your people in Dunwitty. >> Okay. Well, I don't know what people you're talking about. >> What is your officer's name? What do Who are you? >> I'm Sergeant Foreman. >> Foreman? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Move your foot. >> I donate tons of money to >> So, are you trying to go and sit there and say that because there is no reason for this? I'm sitting there waiting for Uber to go home. >> Okay. >> To go home. >> You're intoxicated out in public and you're >> so what? >> Okay. Move your foot. >> Well, that arrogance, it finally comes with a bill. Sure, she once donated to the Dunwy Police Department. Sure, she runs a beauty salon. But here's the thing. A pretty face won't hide an ugly soul. And right now, that soul's showing. We got a call that two individuals descriptions were in some kind of call 911. >> Oh, I don't know. >> Then I have no comment. >> Okay. >> Carol. Carol, I did nothing. >> Do you have an ID on you, sir? >> Oh, sure. I have an ID on you. Okay. Um, I do feel that I did nothing. Carol, >> talk with us. >> You can talk to me. >> Why is she being apprehended? >> Well, I talked to her and she was >> Why is she being apprehended? >> Detainer. >> Stop. >> Why? >> Because Well, I have not gone over there to talk to my supervisor. >> She She did nothing wrong. >> Okay. Can I please see your ID >> and we will talk with you. >> Okay. She did nothing wrong. She's >> Jesus Christ. What is going on here? >> She does not deserve to be hogied. >> We have a hotel room. She can come into here. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Jesus Christ. Really? But I do object for what I saw over there. What I saw was her being hog tied and I don't believe that she deserve that. >> Okay. I did not call anything. >> I don't understand this. >> What I what I believe is something is being Okay. >> Okay. So, you're saying that you didn't call? >> I didn't do anything. We have no fight. We are a conversation. We are a relationship. I don't know who did what, but what I saw her being hog tied right there is unacceptable and I do not understand what's going on there. I will sit here and listen to you guys, but I saw her being hog. >> Meanwhile, the guy throws out the word hog tie without having the slightest clue what it actually means. For the record, hog tying is only used on suspects who are extremely violent. Body cam shows plain as day. She's just cuffed behind her back. No hog tie. Just another over-the-top performance like always. >> Hog tied. What I saw there, four men hog tied. Hog tiger. Unacceptable. And I want to know what's going on. >> Okay. I'm sure you'll be getting an answer here in the next couple minutes. >> Okay. And I will admit, you hog tie her, you are going to feel the wrath from her. So I don't understand why she was hog tied. >> That's what I want to. Right. >> Having a conversation. >> Allegedly. >> So we got to talk to people that doesn't see stuff out here. >> Allegedly. I want to keep that clear. Allegedly. Right. Isn't that proper? Camera. Camera. Camera. Allegedly. Someone says that something was going on here. But you didn't observe anything, right? >> Yeah. That's not how it works, man. >> Did you observe anything going on over here? >> I I had >> But I saw my girlfriend with four officers putting her down entire >> what he was saying. He just wanted remain >> and he was out there yelling and cussing at her. >> So it was loud enough to where it drew the attention to another person. So >> you under arrest. >> I'm under arrest. >> Yeah. Go. St. up. Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. >> Split your hands. >> And may I ask why I'm under arrest for disorderly under the influence and disorderly conduct? >> So, I got a third party that sit there and witness between you and her um on the corner and you had her all pinned up against the wall and your other cop. Turns out the man gets arrested after witnesses confirm he pinned her against a wall. Classic domestic violence. As for her, she goes from mouthy and defiant to screaming, threatening lawsuits, spiraling into full-blown panic in the back of the patrol car. Tough act until the cuffs click. But you all want to listen to the homeless guy there. Really? Um, this is weird. You guys are ridiculous. I've done nothing wrong. >> Just waiting for Uber to go home. If y'all want to listen to the homeless guy of his bull. My god. [snorts] I'm going to call a few people once I get a phone call ability to done Woody. Absolutely. This is ridiculous. You guys are going to listen to these people. You are done. I'm gonna blast this. I'm gonna put this in the A. I'm going to put this report in the A because I'm connected and this is ridiculous. And Dunwitty. Absolutely. Who called this? The hotel, the homeless guy, and you just took two people who pay day and night, night and day, and work their asses off. You just took two people away. Jesus Christ. No one hit me. Sometimes it just doesn't get along. Sometimes put me in jail because I have a dispute over someone and I remove myself to get a Uber. You're ridiculous, sir. Where are you guys for me when those homeless guys are there jing off in front of my salon so I can't be there tomorrow for my employees to watch over them and cuz Dunwitty is not there for me at all and I donate to Dunwitty and I donate to Brook Haven for the police. Do it. You go be everyone. Who called it on? Who called it in? The homeless guy. The one with running around the park? Really, man? Really? You're going to book me? How about him? The one that pisses on my business. So now you put me out of business as he walks free and pisses on everything. You're ridiculous. I will bring this up to the council of Dunwy and the Congress. The woman's now facing two charges: public drunkenness and obstruction of law enforcement. In Georgia, each charge carries up to 500 to $1,000 in fines and a few days to 12 months in jail, depending on the severity. Sometimes it's not evil that breaks a family. It's the silence, the pride, and [screaming] the love that never showed up. A mother's heart can be a shelter or a storm.
