You're a [ __ ] >> On March 29th, 2025, cops got called out for a drunk woman accused of harassing and even attacking kids right in the middle of the neighborhood. Her loud, taunting mouth and wild behavior threw the whole block into chaos. So, what went down when the officers finally stepped up to her? >> Okay, go. What's going on? She was throwing us on the problem. >> Do not fight me. Put your hands behind. >> I'm not going to put my hands against I'm not going to fight. >> Do not fight me or I'm going to put you on the ground. Do you understand? Do you understand? >> No, you stop talking. >> Okay, shut up. I get it. But look at me. These kids are not debuffing. Please. These kids are not the problem here. It's It's Wait, wait, wait.

Because they're the alleged victim. So, you need to >> She was in full-blown meltdown mode, screaming, flailing, and flat out refusing to follow orders. This wasn't just a case of ignoring the cops. It was her own twisted defense mechanism, denying reality and blaming everybody else. Meanwhile, the officers stayed calm and kept working through each witness one by one. >> She put her hands around your neck. That's what Tom said. Did she was choking you? >> Did she choke you out? >> I think she was trying to >> So, she put her hands around your neck. Do you remember that? Or did she just like grab your chest or your arms? >> She put one of her hands around my neck >> on the front or the back?

[laughter] >> Outside. >> We were all like chilling outside and then we seen the kids running from the park. >> Okay. >> We could see her chasing them. Like we What I seen what caught my eye was she was trying to get like a branch from a tree that's out here. >> Okay. >> She couldn't get it. So, she continued chasing the kids. He ends up yelling at the kids to like go home. They're running. She's chasing them. And then they turn this corner, lost her for a bit. And then we see her walking back. >> They're being kids and following her, thinking it's fun. But the little girl was on her bike, not even bugging this girl. And she just comes up and pushes her off the bike. And then she's off the bike. She's grabs the bike and then pushes the girl and everything. >> Witnesses backed up the story. She'd gotten physical with kids and thrown around racial slurs. While she tried to spin it like the kids were the problem, the cops just kept gathering statements, piecing together the truth. >> Okay. >> What else happened? >> Don't leave. >> But what physical? What did you see physical? >> I'm going to talk. >> I seen a stick or something get thrown. >> She threw a stick at them. >> Something. >> Okay. Did you see who specifically she threw it at or was it just kind of the group as a whole? >> Hey. Hey. Which one of y'all she threw that stick at? She was throwing at the group all. Okay. >> She was throwing at all of them. >> At all of them. Okay. Okay. Clearly. >> She racist. >> Well, clearly. >> Yeah. She We was running away >> and she was chasing after >> picking up items.

He said, "Did you guys see that?" I said, "Yes." I was like, "Ma'am, quit throwing his kicks at the stick." She's like, "Well, these kids are out of control. It doesn't matter. Stop doing, you know, leave the kids alone. They'll leave you alone. Walk away. >> And when I seen her push the little girl, when my daughter seen her push the little girl, I ran over there to make sure the girl was all right. And that's when >> you saw her push the girl off the bike. >> I seen my daughter seen it. I leaned over. I seen her on the ground. So I ran over there and then that's when she pushed her when I was going over there to stop her, but I didn't see I didn't see a lot of it. I was just >> So we were going back to my house and then the lady Mhm. >> had um was chasing the little kids. >> Okay. >> So, I'm like wondering why >> was she saying >> I don't know if she's drunk. >> Okay. Just screaming drunk. >> So, usually when people are drunk, I don't mess with people that are drunk. >> Then we're we are laughing. >> But we're laughing at something else. >> Okay. >> She's like, "Oh, you think it's funny." And we're over here saying, >> "We're not laughing at you." And then out of nowhere, she sees her laughing and she pushes her to the gate. >> What game? Yeah, this exact gate. >> Soon as I got there and the gate open, I can see them like I'm like, "What's going on?" So they told me, "What's going on?" So I took my car and park. >> This is your car here? >> Yeah, I parked it. >> So I The fight was right here. >> No, she was up in the corner of that fence when I came up, >> but they was way away from the fence. Then they started telling me what's going on with her. >> So I stopped my car and got out cuz I got to step on. So then I'm telling them, so as I turn my back, she don't shove the hell out of me. No, not on me. Green. >> A male witness sealed the deal. Confirming the violence and the racist remarks. She was clearly drunk or high. Slurring her words and acting completely out of control. Shoving grown adults who tried to step in showed she was ready to use force on anyone who got in her way. >> So, I want you to listen to me. You were kicking this window earlier. If that happens again, we're going to tie >> kick any windows. I won't. >> We're going to get you out. We're going to check your Hank house cuz now you're calm and we can do this the right way. >> All I wanted to do is tell these kids that like listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. >> I need to know that like >> Are you listening to me? >> I'm this way. >> Okay. I'm going to have you step out. She We're going to help you. We're going to check the handcuffs. We're going to adjust them properly. Okay. That doesn't mean they're going to come off right now or that they're going to come off, but I need you to cooperate. Okay. Step out. Right. >> I don't I don't want to I don't want to make problems for anybody but these kids. >> Can you put your chest against my trucker? >> Yeah. >> Thank you. I'm going to check your handcuffs. Okay. >> These kids, they don't they just don't know the problems that are like wrong in their community. >> It's so bad. >> There you go. >> Have you ever been with a black person? >> Okay. >> Have you ever been with a black person? >> I don't know how this relates to today. >> Have you been with a black person? I >> Again, I don't know how this relates to >> I just want to know. I want to know you're white. And I know this is the last this is the last reason that's like gonna put me out on the street like but like look at them. >> Like just >> I see a bunch of kids. >> No, no, no.

Okay. I want to explain your charges to you. Okay. Just slide in for me. >> What are my charges? >> I'd like to explain it to you, but I need you to slide in a little bit. Okay. >> Dick. >> Yeah, that's fine. I just need you to slide in a little bit for me. Okay. Once she realized she was headed to jail, she screamed about being innocent and blamed the kids again. She even tried to kick out the cruiser's window, forcing officers to hold her down. She refused to get in the car until the cops spelled out the charges and warned they'd use force if she kept it up. >> But please help me. >> We are helping, >> you know. No, but he's pushing he's putting hands on me. >> I haven't touched him. >> Resisting. So, you're going to go in. Relax. Just slide in. >> No, this is >> There you go. Perfect. >> Come towards me. >> There you go. Hold on. Easy. Easy. Easy. >> This is not This is This is not right. You know this isn't right. >> No way. >> Ma'am, we're trying not to use any additional force on you. Okay. >> You do understand that if you keep this behavior up, we will have to put your feet in a pie. >> I would rather do it preventatively if we could. >> You just want to do it now? >> Okay, sounds good. >> I'll put on my >> I'll give you my feet. That's fine. Okay. >> But I've been I >> will follow you. That's cool. These people have nothing to hold me. I have done nothing. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's cool. >> 1940.

What's your valve number? 1969. >> In the end, she was cuffed and booked on two counts of child abuse, [music] disorderly intoxication, and resisting an officer. The child abuse charges are no joke. They can bring sky-high bail, and serious prison time. But while the crowd was still catching its breath, another so-called queen was already stepping up to take her turn with reality's cold, hard slap. On September 29th, 2024, [music] police were called to a restaurant after a scuffle between an older woman and a man. Witnesses swore the man had shoved her during the argument, but the second the cops stepped in, things took a turn nobody saw coming. >> How you doing, man? >> How you doing, man? >> So, what exactly is going on here? >> So, we're here. How you doing? >> I guess I'm the bad guy here. Just give us a minute. >> Robert's going on today. >> What's going on here? They were drinking. I don't know their relationship. Uh the man started yelling at her. Put her hands on her. Made a complaint as I was coming out the boundary. >> I think this guy made a statement with him. Well, I'm sure he practiced deescalating the scene. >> Um, after he left, he then got more aggressive after he kept drinking and he came over toward the ship and started looking for protection from us >> and the guy came over and grabbing her. >> Mhm. >> So, >> so the first like initial physical, what occurred specifically between like them two? >> Uh, they were verbally abusing each other and then he shoved her. >> Okay. So, who are you to him? >> I'm Audrey. I don't know his name. >> Okay. Um, he was talking to my friend >> who's clearly drunk. >> Um, I've been trying to get her to come out. >> Is this your friend? >> This is her. This is Linda. >> I've been trying to get her to come out, but she keeps drinking and she keeps yelling. >> Yelling. >> Linda, prove my problem. >> You don't need to yell right now. Okay. >> And he was helping her. She's fine, but he doesn't ask everyone in the ball. >> I'm right here, right? So, who is that? Who is that man? Hold on. Hold on. Mad. Have I been yelling? >> Can you talk to me? >> They've been yelling, not me. >> Can you talk to me? Yes. >> Can you get out of the sun, though? >> I can take two steps over here. I can't go that far. Who is that man to you? >> Who in the red? >> No, the dude with the um the floral t-shirt or the floral buttonup. >> Robert, who who is he to you? >> That's my gallery coordinator for my antique shop in my art gallery for 10 years. He married this little girl that um >> Doesn't matter. Answer these questions. >> Oh, and his mother that I fell in love with. doesn't matter. >> At first, she was all calm and collected, chatting with friends. But the moment the officers showed up, her mood flipped like a switch. She spun a story about some kind of business relationship and flat out denied any assault by dragging the conversation toward her work and personal losses. She was clearly trying to steer it into safer territory for herself. >> I don't need this. >> Okay. Well, it's too late now. We're already here. All right. >> Yeah. I didn't call them. He did. >> That's perfectly fine. Yeah. And that's that's within the law. That's all it is is Italian Irish people. That's how we act. >> Okay, that's perfectly fine. All right. So, that man is just like a business partner partner to you. >> Correct. >> Okay. You don't live with him. >> No, I pay him to take me. >> Can I please ask you questions and you can just answer them like a normal person? If you point at me like that again, you're going to go to jail. You understand that? >> If you come over here like you're going to touch me, you're going to go to jail. >> Okay. I did not give you permission to do that. So, you need to control yourself. All right. I understand you guys have been drinking. I'm asking you questions. I'm conducting investigation. >> I'm going to death. My husband dies, right? My mother died. My dog died. And I'm trying to visit my h my kid and my wheel falls off again. I'm under extreme stress. >> So they're saying that that he grabbed you, he pushed you, he was pulling on you. >> No, he did not. Okay. So So none of that was outside of your consent. >> None of that was true. He never even touched. Do >> you have your driver's license on you? >> He never touched me. >> Do you have your driver's license on? >> This boy is a a Do you have your driver's license on you? >> Yes. that I do have to go with. >> You can just put your drink down on the ground. You can just get your driver's license out of your bag. Or >> you can hand your your drink to her. >> No, never. Well, can you hold it? >> I don't want it on the ground. Unbelievable. >> I need your driver's license. >> So, what's your guys' plan after this? >> We're going They're dropping the bloody car that the tires come off five times. This is a five times, >> right? We're taking it to Tire Plus, D. >> Okay. taking part, right? And that boy decided to call the police. Not that I have anything that's police. Believe me, my family was police. I give chocolates to the police. >> Then came the shift. She went from defensive to downright aggressive. Marching right up to the tow truck driver. She started yelling in his face. When an officer stepped in, the whole thing escalated instantly. [ __ ] walk. >> Hey, watch your turn. >> I didn't I didn't mean I didn't mean to have my shoe off. You cannot take me to jail. >> You just hit a law enforcement officer. >> I didn't know my shoe was going to come off. You can't do that to me. I'm a lady. >> Let go. >> No. I'm a lady. I'm a lady. You cannot do that. >> I'm going to drop you. Give me other hand. Give me your other hand. >> You cannot do that. >> Give me your other hand. >> No ma'am. >> No. No. I don't belong in a jail. I'm a lady. >> Well, you're going to go to jail today. >> Just grab your gun. >> No, you cannot do that, >> darling. You cannot do that. My shoe fell off. >> No, you can't do that. >> Stop. >> Stop resisting. >> Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. I can't do that. I'm not bad. I'm a little girl. Are you able to drop the car off of property or >> Yeah. Where do you want me to leave it at? >> Just anywhere that's not here. >> Anywhere that's not here. >> You can do You can do the next building's property.

Okay. >> No, you cannot. >> She's going to jail. She's >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's That's what I'm saying. I'm trying to talk to them. >> I I never even leave my house. Please stop this. >> There's a reason probably why you don't leave your house. >> Yeah. And you know, I came to see my son and my my freaking tire came off in fifth time. I'm I'm stressing you. My daddy died. My husband died. Please. Once in cuffs, Linda fought back hard, verbally, emotionally, and mentally, refusing to accept she was under arrest. She clung to some imagined social status like it was her golden ticket out, tossing out lines to flip the situation in her favor. >> You can't be. >> Oh, you hurt my back. here. Do you have any pockets? Anything on you at all? Just do like a patch on her waistline back. >> Linda, do you have anything on you at all? >> What? >> Anything? >> Like what? >> Any item? >> You're going to jail. >> Get in the car. >> Get in the car. >> Have a se in the car cuz you are under arrest for battery on law enforcement. >> I did not do that. >> Step up on the sidewalk. >> Step up. >> Step up.

It'll go with you. >> Take this thing off. >> No. The cuffs are going to stay on to you until you booked up the jail cuz you're under arrest. >> I need to call my lawyer right now. Take this thing off. >> There he goes. >> Sweet. >> I can't. Give me call my lawyer right now. I called him early to see if he could pick me up. Sit over there. >> I never did. I I I >> Once you're back to the back of the car, I want to adjust these cuffs for you. >> Take them off. >> I'm not going to take them off. >> You have to take them off. >> No, I'm not going to. >> Her refusal to follow even basic instructions made it clear. She wasn't about to recognize the cop's authority, but the officers kept control, using only the level of force necessary to end the standoff. >> It's not. >> You are intoxicated. >> I have been gone through stress. >> You are intoxicated. Okay. I'm not saying that. No, >> please. Sweet. I did not mean to hurt you. >> It went. Linda, look. Linda, look. >> Are you going to do it again? >> Cuz if you do it again, we're going to start charging the second guy. >> Move out of the way. I just want to I understand what you're saying. I don't need you to show. >> I cannot go to jail. >> Okay. Well, put your feet back in the car. I'm not going to adjust your hands. >> But please don't let me adjust your hands. >> I can't be with those people. I'm scared of those people in the car. You cannot do this to me in the car. Dear Jesus. Dear Jesus. Dear Jesus, please don't let them do it. Take it away from me, darling. Please. It's too hard. >> Are you going to resist some more? Would you like to receive an additional charge? >> Put your feet in the car. That's lawful order. >> Are you wanting me to adjust them? This is your last face left side of the car and continue to face the left side of the car. >> And I want my phone so I call my lawyer. >> Well, you will not be calling the lawyer right now. >> I'm calling my lawyer. >> Linda, we're going to have you step out. Hold on. You got to get the seat belt off. >> I'm sorry that my skirt's up, but I have no control over that. Just watch you step on the curb. >> You got it. >> Watch you step on the curb right there. >> I do not belong in police custody. >> Okay.

I was trying to get my people home safely because for the fifth time the wheel of my Jaguar came off and I was just stipulating and look my shoe came off and they thought that I I I did a thing on. >> In the end, she was hauled off to jail and charged with resisting an officer and battery on a law enforcement officer. Charges that in Florida can mean up to 5 years in prison, 5 years of probation, and a $5,000 fine. Depending on the severity, it could get even worse. And once the so-called special privileges were stripped away, another roadside showdown was already gearing up to explode. On May 4th, 2023 in Orlando, Florida, police spotted a gray Jeep suspected of running fake tags with an underage passenger inside not wearing a seat belt. What should have been a routine [music] traffic stop quickly spun into a chain of unpredictable events. >> Can you roll your window down for me? Uh, no ma'am. Can you roll your window down for me? >> No. >> Okay. >> I need to talk to you a little bit more, so that's why I wanted it. And can you also turn your music down? >> Okay. >> Is there an accident? >> Ma'am, I'll be asking the questions. Okay. >> I'm offic with Orlando Police Department. The reason you're being pulled over >> 47245. >> I'm not I don't feel comfortable with y'all. This is like No. No. Do not open that car door. >> No, ma'am. >> No, I am not getting out the car.

I lost all my dangling information just a few days ago. >> Well, ma'am, the first thing you don't You don't dictate us how we do a traffic stop. I >> Yes, I do. I don't feel comfortable. Yes, I do.

I can't even confirm who you are right now. >> I just told you I >> Things escalated fast from simple non-ooperation to flat out refusing a lawful order, giving officers grounds to use force. She kept throwing around my rights, but wasn't following basic instructions, showing she either misunderstood those rights or twisted them to suit her narrative. I can see my name. >> Don't touch your hand. >> Stop it. Stop. Stop. >> Stop. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> No. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> You don't make no goddamn sense. I'm screwing the [ __ ] out of y'all. You better put my dress up. >> Yes, ma'am. We have a female that'll be able to collect you. Okay. >> All right. Let's get her up. No, don't get me up cuz I'm fix. >> Do me a favor. Double lock those. Yeah. Pull something. Oh, it's just a cramp. >> All you need to do is >> I already went through all this [ __ ] with y'all before. the same damn concept. I told the other officer the same thing. >> I told the officer, "Get my um Marine Corps um tag off of there." >> Sit up. There you go. >> Come on up. >> There you go. >> Do you have any identification in that car? >> I got a log tag. >> Okay. That's not an identification. >> It is. Y'all got five of y'all >> for one little bitty person. This would have went a whole different way if you just gave your ID. >> I didn't have no ID. >> Okay. You got to be able to provide an ID. If you don't have one, I have a common law and I still not answer. >> That's not be able to show us who you are. You can't just drive a vehicle and not know who you are. >> So now you're going to jail for something so simple cuz you don't want to listen. It's not because of us. It's because of you. >> It's not because of me. >> You could have been All right, guys. Two lawsuits against y'all about this. Just put that on my uh prosecute. >> It's the same thing. >> Violate every constitutional right. That's fine. >> Promise you we're not violating. >> Yes, you are. My right to travel. My right to privacy. You yanked me out of my car. You reached your hand inside of my private vehicle. >> Even after being cuffed, the driver kept arguing, insisting the police had violated her rights. Once the confrontation ended, officers read her Miranda rights to keep the arrest airtight. Still, she was convinced she'd done nothing wrong and was already laying the groundwork for a possible lawsuit. >> All right, ma'am. I'm going to read you something. Can you hear me? >> I can hear you. >> You got a right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Mhm. >> Anything you say, maybe he's in court. Do you understand? >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during question. Do you understand? >> Mhm. >> If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, one will be provided to you before question or without charge. Do you understand? Mhm. >> Once he gets here, I'll let you talk to him. But do you want to talk about why you're in the back of my car in handcuffs? >> Nope. >> No. >> No. I do not want to talk about that. >> All right. Uh to let you know, you are under arrest right now. Um in the state of Florida, you must have the vehicle properly registered. I ran your tag that says it seems to have some type of characters that look like private. Um that's not a tag that somebody is going to give you in the state of Florida. Um, also when I'm asking for your driver's license, um, and I'm asking you to turn down the vehicle so I can hear your name and your date of birth a little properly, instead of you having the music out loud, that's just so I can hear you a little bit better. Um, you have not been identified at that time, I still need to make sure I get a photograph of you. Um, just because you give me some information that says, um, >> I didn't give you any information. In fact, you didn't even ask me my name. You just kept asking to have my music turned down, which I told you no. >> Everything's on body camera. >> I know it's on body camera. So, we can talk about that when we go. >> I ask you for your name and ID. You know, >> I rather have your ID so I can get a picture. >> I give you my name. I don't have any ID. I told you that I lost it. So, if you want to sit here and continue to make up little stuff and make your case better, then go ahead. >> Well, there's no case that I need to make. >> That is the case because it's going to be a big case. This is fine. 81400. >> I gave you my name. >> Okay. >> Well, I'm just letting you know why you're in the back seat. Okay. When we tell you that you also need to cut the car off and that you need to come back to us, we're allowed to do that. >> I don't need to come out of my private automobile to >> But that's your opinion. But I'm telling you what the law >> opinion. That's a no. Not by constitutional. >> She seemed uneasy about following constitutional procedures. Constantly debating the legality of the stop as if trying to claw back control. Then her husband arrived ready to give his side of the story. >> Not really good. >> Yeah. >> Okay. You >> have I have my my my all my permits in my truck. >> I confirm them on my computer. He's registered to the the VIN. >> Yes. Of the vehicle. >> He's the Okay. Um but you don't have a I was talking about for the tag. Remember the thing was about that is in my other vehicle. I was at the PA and those other places and I have a business and what was going on is that I had all that in the vehicle and I let my buddy keep the truck. >> Okay. >> And everything is in >> You're supposed to have your registration in the vehicle. >> Okay. I know what I'm supposed to do, sir. >> I understand that. >> Understand what I'm supposed to do. >> Okay. >> But you said one of you said that my wife resisted. >> Yes. That was >> You follow what I'm saying? We wouldn't even be here if she would have just gave the the officer identification uh and just complied with what he what we were requesting. >> So that's the thing last >> Are we done with the traffic stop? >> I am. >> I don't I don't want to be around the deal. We're done with it. >> Are you serious? >> Yes. I'm a United States Marines. I did 27 years. I'm not going to do anything. >> Yeah. I got a family bunch of families been in Marines. Okay. So, we're done with the traffic. See, here's my card. Okay. Huh. >> Okay. This is >> That's your That's a universal ID card. >> Universal. What? What a >> common law court. >> Okay. I got you. Okay. >> All right. This is common law. >> His appearance added personal context to the mess. Yet, even he admitted she was wrong for resisting. When he pulled out a so-called universal ID card, it revealed a belief that they were under some alternate legal system, a concept not recognized by any court and with zero legal standing. >> Thank you. >> All right, sir. Um, but the only thing is that you can't drive this on the roadway. Okay? So, we don't want to be back in this position again. Okay. Thanks, buddy. >> You want to give a water now? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Hey, man. That's some nice football you got on there, man. >> Oh, I appreciate it, buddy. All right, man. You want a couple drinks? >> Yes. Thank you. >> All right. Your husband's here. He's going to take your sons. Okay. >> Okay. Can I speak to him? >> I'll roll down the window real quick. I'll roll down the >> You want them to work? >> All right. Go ahead, ma'am. >> All right. >> And uh post the bail. >> I'm going to do that right now then, baby. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave from here and I'm going to go post your bail. >> It's going to take like 3 4 hours just to let you know, processing and [ __ ] >> Okay. And I'll get that straight away. And uh and I'll come get you when they let you go. Okay. Babe, just just relax. >> I'm I I don't have my blood pressure medicine. So, >> you don't have your medicine? >> No, I don't have my inhaler. So, >> we'll address all that at the jail. I'm trying to go I will try to work with her on the bond, but we'll address that at the jail. >> In the end, she was taken to jail and charged with resisting an officer with violence and driving with a suspended or revoked license. These are no minor charges. They can mean prison time, probation, and hefty fines. The kind of legal trouble that doesn't just fade away. One reckless move closed the chapter just in time for a family tragedy to take center stage. On July 6th, 2025, police responded to a crash involving a drunk woman with her young child in the car. The initial goal was simple. Secure the scene and figure out what happened. But what followed went far beyond anyone's expectations. reference. Uh, signal four, signal 12 driver. >> That's her baby. >> Please check them, please. >> It's her baby. >> Please, please check them. >> There's a lady stuck in that car. >> Hey, buddy.

I'm good. >> No. Where you going? >> No, I'm good. >> 1742. >> Where are you going? >> I'm good. >> Where are you going? >> You were just in an accident. >> Huh? >> You were just in an accident. >> No, I'm not. Yes. >> Oh, good. >> Detained right now. Listen. No. >> Hey, go check on that car. >> Go check on that car. It's 26 in Australia. >> Are they breathing? Copy. >> Australia 2643. >> Come over here. Fin. Come on. There's gas leaking. >> Gas leaking. Can you stand up? Want me to break this hill? >> I can break it. >> Sir, can you break this bush out for me? >> Is this Will this door open? I >> wish Can you guys help me help lift her up? >> Watch out. Watch out. >> At first, the woman tried to walk away, showing she had no grasp of how serious things were and putting her own safety ahead of her child's. Tensions spiked when a gas leak was discovered, but a few quick acting men at the scene jumped in to help before rescue crews could arrive. >> I got everything on video. [screaming] >> Lift her up. Do you want me to grab hands? >> One vehicle is on it side. So I'm sure you please. >> Let's move. Let's move down here. Okay. Cuz there's gas. just sit right here. Mom, can you clarify the 1020? >> This man just snapped in the back of >> Yeah. If you want more, >> you're being detained right now. Okay. You're welcome in Australia.

He sell me mask. >> My baby get right down the street Wonder. >> You okay, buddy? Come here. They got to check you out. Okay. >> Your son that was in the car with you. What's his name? >> No. >> Nobody's gotten any tags that I know of. >> Listen, don't ask questions. Just answer questions. We need your kids information. >> Well, I'll sit here and answer questions with you all day, but they're taking your kid to the hospital. >> Yeah. >> But what's his name and date of birth? >> How do you spell his last name? >> 116. Can you give me a kiss? >> Spell his last name. >> Daddy. daddy on. >> Spell his last name. >> His daddy on right there. >> Spell his last name. >> His daddy right there. >> Spell his last name. >> 493104. >> Spell your child's last name. >> Officers tried to get the child's info to make sure medical help could be given in time, but the woman refused to provide even a name or birth date. That refusal was a huge red flag, pushing police to widen their investigation into both the crash and a possible DUI. >> All right, Miss Harris, step out for me real quick. 33 division one. >> Come on. >> And I think the two units are coming from west 23 for a minute. >> There you go. Turn around. I'm going take these handcuffs off you real quick. Okay. All right. So, the reason you were detained is cuz you were in an accident. You were walking away and you weren't being cooperative. So, I detained you. Okay. So, I could >> I could attend to all the other people. >> Okay. You understand that? >> Yes, sir. >> That make sense to you? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. So, you weren't on arrest. You were just being detained. All right. So, we finished the accident investigation. Actually, tell you what, what happened with the accident? Tell me real quick. >> He came in my own He came in my lane. >> He came in your lane? >> He came in my lane. He came in my lane. >> He came in your lane. >> No. >> How fast were you driving? >> I wasn't even driving fast. >> You weren't driving fast. I can't drive fast. >> You can't drive fast. Okay. >> He came in my lane. The the dude, he came in my lane. He came in the other lane. Which lane were you in? This lane or that lane? >> I was in this. >> So, did you hear me? >> What? >> How many alcoholic beverages have you had prior to driving? >> I think I probably had like um two um wines. >> You had two wines? Two glasses of wine? >> Like two big glasses? Two small glasses? Oh, two sl two um and my um baby that right down the street. >> Okay. But you had two glasses of wine prior to driving? >> Yes. >> You smoke any marijuana or take any THC or anything like that? >> I don't smoke really. >> Okay. All right. Take any prescription medications? >> No. >> Okay. Any controlled substances? >> No. >> So, the only thing you had prior to driving was two glasses of wine? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Do you still feel the effects of the wine? >> No. >> No. Okay. All right. Would you be willing to conduct field sobriety evaluations to see if you're safe to drive? >> I could drive. >> Her eventual admission became a key piece of evidence in the DUI case, confirming the officer's suspicions and making it clear further testing was necessary. [music] They carefully explained that the tests were voluntary, but also spelled out the legal consequences if she refused. >> The voluntary evaluations. I'm going to check your eyes. I'm going to have you walk. I'm going to have you stand on one leg. >> Go. Go ahead. >> Okay. You're good with doing that? All right. So, first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to check your eyes. Okay, Miss Harris, >> go ahead. Check my eyes. >> Okay. Do you see the tip of my finger? >> Yeah. >> All right. What I need you to do is follow the tip of my finger >> with your eyes and only your eyes, keeping your head still. Do you understand those instructions? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Keep your head still for me, Miss Harris. Okay. >> All right. Come over here for me, Miss Harris. See this white line over here? >> Put your left foot on the line. >> Why y'all Why y'all got me doing all this? >> Okay. >> Why y'all got me doing >> Put your Put your left foot on the line. >> Why y'all got me doing >> Do you want to stop doing the Do you want to stop doing the evaluations? >> No, I don't. >> You don't want to keep doing them or you you you want to stop or you don't want to stop? I'm saying why y'all got me doing all this? >> Because this I'm doing a DUI investigation. >> Okay. So, do you do you So, listen. The evaluations are voluntary. >> I'm I'm a little tipsy. >> You're a little tipsy. Okay. >> All right. >> So, listen to me. The evaluations are voluntary. All right. However, if you refuse to do them, it can be used against you in court. All right. It can lead to arrest for DUI. >> Okay. >> All right. You understand that? Okay. >> All right. You want to keep doing the evaluations? >> Okay. Um, what if I do the um >> if I do it what it do? >> Well, I can't tell the future, but I have to wait until >> her a little buzzed confession was damning, proving she knew she was impaired. Even while trying to [music] dodge testing, she still attempted to participate, but couldn't follow instructions. Proof her thinking and actions were already under alcohol's control. think I'm going to pass. Is this >> You don't think you're going to pass? >> I'll pass. >> Why is that? >> Oh, no. >> Why don't you think you're going to pass? >> Oh, no. >> All right. Can you put your left foot on the line for me? Left foot. >> Hold on. Wait. >> Are you comfortable walking in those shoes or would you rather do it barefoot? >> Wait. Okay. >> Are you comfortable walking in those shoes or would you rather do it barefoot? Okay. Um, let's see. >> All right. Look, >> I'm going to do barefoot. >> You're going to do it barefoot. Okay. All right. I didn't want you falling over. Be careful cuz there is stuff on the ground. >> What I got to do? >> I'm going to explain it to you. So, put your left foot. >> If I got to do I'm I'm going to jail. >> Listen, I can't tell you the future. All I can do is >> Oh, I'm going to jail. Just let me just let me know. Just let me know right now. >> Miss Harris, I need you to listen to me and follow instructions. >> Okay. >> All right. If you don't do that, I'm just going to say that you're refusing to do them. Miss Harris, put your left foot on the line. >> All the way on the line. >> All the way on the line. Okay. Your right heel touching your left toe along the line. Nope. Your right heel touching your left toe on the line. >> Oh, yeah. I'm um Oh, yeah. Um, I'm up. >> Yeah, >> I'm up. But, um, they um they um >> going to do the the the >> they they um they um >> Miss Harris, are you going to listen to my instructions to do what I'm asking you to do? All right. Put your left foot on the line. >> Okay. >> Put your left foot on the line. Don't walk. Put your left foot on the line. That's your right foot. >> They um >> Okay. There. Turn around. Face that way. All right. You're under arrest for DI. >> Oh gosh. >> Based off the clues exhibited while performing field sobriety evaluations. >> I did it. I did. I did. >> Based on the footage, she was charged with DUI and child endangerment. Serious offenses that can mean prison time, heavy fines, license suspension, and mandatory rehab programs. The video didn't specify the exact penalties she could face. And just as one young life was shattered, another youth was about to throw theirs straight into danger. Police rushed to the scene after reports of a serious crash. A car had flipped after flying down the road, putting the driver's life and everyone around her at risk. But what was really going on behind the wheel was even [music] more troubling. >> Who was driving? I don't know which one of them was driving, but whichever one of them was driving, they was running every bit of 120. >> That's what I That's what Travis said. >> Every bit of 120 when they drove past me. >> I was right behind them when it happened. >> All lucky to be alive. Every one of them. >> I see that. >> Every one of them. >> You saw it happen to >> I was right behind us. >> Did you see who I didn't see it? >> Lane and we went into the grass and it kind of like threw us this way. >> Okay. You got your driver's license? >> Um I will call I will call your back and just >> my keys which are my my wallet is my my key wallet is my keys. >> Okay, hop over here for me. >> I can try to >> That's okay. Hop over the guardrail for me. >> How fast were you going right there? So you were driving >> and I hit like the the one that makes the noise that yellow line and then I went to the grass. >> We hit it. I hit it too hard. >> Mhm. >> You're not hurt, are you? >> You didn't black out. >> I have blood on me, though. I don't know where it's from. >> What's your name? >> Augusta. >> Augusta. What? >> All right. How old are you, Augusta? >> 20. >> All right. How much have you had to drink? >> I've only had two drinks. >> All right. Tell me something. How far did you make it in school? >> I'm in college right now. >> Okay. Is it a safe assumption to say that you know your English alphabet? I already have a DUI. I I got it two years ago and I'm about to get off in November. I know how this goes. >> Okay. >> I mean, you don't have to do anything. I'm asking you to submit the voluntary evaluation. >> I'll do it. >> Okay. >> So, do you know your alphabet? >> Right. What I want you to do is I want you to recite your alphabet for me. Okay. But I want you to start with the letter D like doll. >> And I want you to stop with the letter X like X. Right? So, I want you to go from D to X. Don't want to start with any rhyme. Don't worry any rhythm, just nice and slow. >> At first, the young woman seemed cooperative, though a bit rattled. Admitting she'd had a prior DUI revealed she wasn't new to this, and that familiarity with the system only deepened her inner anxiety. When asked to recite from the letter D to X, she stumbled and couldn't get it right. >> D'all already going to take that as that. >> I'm not. I'm listening to you. D E F G H I J K L M P Q R S X. Keep your hands down by your side for me. Okay. All right. Hold the tip of my finger. Okay. All right. You got any problems with your knees, your legs, or your back? All right. Let's step right up here on this white line for me. Okay. All right. So, you see how the line's going straight down the road? What I want you to do is take your left foot, put it on the line for me. Put it on the outside edge, though. So, I want your foot just All right. Whenever you're ready, you can begin. 2 3 4 5 6 14 8 11 12 13 14 16 17 Field sobriety tests made it obvious she was losing control. Even while trying to follow instructions, she kept failing. And that frustration quickly morphed into visible worry. At one point, she muttered about tears flowing. A self-coming remark that showed she knew she was blowing the test and that the outcome was inevitable. >> How fast were you going? Very fast. >> I heard >> somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 mph. >> Why that fast? >> See what happens when you travel that fast. Hang tight right here for me. Okay. Augusta valid. I know you said you had a DUI before, but your license is good, >> so it's not suspended or anything crazy like that? No, I got it back this year. >> Okay, >> it's all right. Find me a breath sample. Okay, take a deep breath in and blow. Blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow. Good. When you're 20, when's your birthday? >> I'll be 21. December. Okay. >> December 20th. >> December 20th. Yes, sir. this way. >> All right, August, you are being placed under arrest for DUI. Okay, hold on just a second. Come back to the front of this car for me. Turn and face it. All right. I got something I need to read to you and it pertains to your driving privileges here in the state of Georgia. Okay. And I'm going to need a yes or no answer. What this is is the imply consent notice for suspects under the age of 21. Here's what it reads. The state of Georgia has conditions for privilege to drive upon the highways of this state upon your submission to state a chemical test of your blood, breath, urine, or the body substances for the purpose of determining if you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs. She began questioning procedures, looking confused as officers explained her rights and obligations. Accepting the arrest didn't come with calm. It came with bursts of anger aimed at both the situation and those around her. I need air. I need air. Any air? Any air? [sighs] [sighs] [gasps] I'm so sorry. Is there any way I can get here? Sir. Sir, is there any way I can get air? >> I'm sorry. >> Is there any way I can get some air? >> Yeah, I'll roll the window down for you. >> Now, where are your parents? >> In Albertson. >> All right. You want to call them? Let them know you're okay. >> No. No. >> Huh? Where'd you get your first DUI at? >> In Athens. That was 2 years ago. [snorts] >> Once cuffed and in the back of the cruiser, she spiraled into full-blown panic. She reached for sympathy from the officers as if it were a lastditch bid to escape the inevitable. This marked a sharp shift from anger to total defeat. Meanwhile, police turned to other passengers for their statements. >> Parents. >> Yeah. Me. >> Parents. Which one? Perfect. You've been drinking? >> No, sir. >> Not at all. >> Not at all. >> I'm going to have her blow into this. You good with that, Mom? Since she's 16? >> Uh, do I have to consider? >> You don't have to. No, not at all. >> I'd rather not. >> Perfect. You want to blow on this for me? >> You got anything to drink at all? >> Perfect. You got a driver's license? >> No. >> But do you have one? >> Yeah. >> Low right there for me. >> Yep. >> If you have a valid license, why aren't you driving? >> I don't have it on. >> You don't have to have it on you. As long as it's good. >> That's what I tell you. >> I didn't know that. just dropped them off with this girl, but I didn't know she was going. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Bad. >> Um, y'all are not hurt, correct? >> Okay. >> What's your name? >> Callie. >> Where were you sitting at? >> Uh, the middle. >> In the back? >> Yes. >> Where were you sitting at? >> Behind the driver's seat. >> All right. So, Callie was in the middle of the back. What's your name? >> Jade. >> Jade was behind the driver. >> Friends are going to sue me, right? Right. I hope not for your sake, but it's possible. >> Yeah, cuz he ain't and I'm the only one getting raped and I'm the oldest one. >> What's that? >> [ __ ] >> I can't. >> Everyone's so underage, but I'm the only one getting >> Well, listen. Surely you can see the problem with you driving and wrecking and being drunk. >> I understand that. I understand everything, but I'm kidding you. >> How long have you been friends with these people? What is it? >> Fine. Everyone is fine. They literally said all of that when we flipped and now they're all going to sue me. Fake. >> The 20-year-old was ultimately booked into the Habsham County Detention Center with a blood alcohol content of 0.156%. her charges, DUI, speeding, reckless driving, underage drinking, and possession of an open container. And because she had a prior record, this was a repeat offense, meaning at least a one-year license suspension, fines, and possibly jail time, depending on local law. But a repeat offense was just a shadow compared to the tragedy about to surface. On April 10th, 2022, police got a 911 call from Stephanie, who openly admitted she'd just been in a crash. At first, the plan was simple. Offer medical aid, and figure out what happened. But once they got to the scene, the details that emerged were anything but ordinary. >> Grab some gloves, take over CPR for Pyro. >> Come over here with me, man. Okay. >> I called as soon as this [ __ ] happened. This doesn't happen to me. >> I understand. >> I go to Bradley. Like, why would this happen to me? Okay. So, here's what I'm going to have you do. If you can uh maybe help Tyro doing CPR on that one right now. >> You tell me. I'm right here. >> Okay. Just hang ty right here. Has anybody gotten all your information? >> No. No one. Um someone your friend took my license. >> Do you have a driver's license? >> Your friend took my license. >> Okay. I'm just I'm just going to write it down here. Just let you know I got body cameras there. Okay. >> Information for reconstruction. Is that okay? What is your first s Middle initial. >> I don't have one. >> Okay. And last name? >> Mel. Go. >> Okay. Get away from the scene a little bit. Let them do their thing. Okay. This is your car, right? The correct the red car. You were the only one in the vehicle. >> I'm the only one. >> Okay. Come over here to my Anything illegal on you? >> Yes. I have marijuana in your >> In your purse. Okay. Have you had any marijuana tonight? >> No. >> Okay. Can you set those on the car for me for him? >> My vape, too? >> Yep. Yep. Set that down there. >> And my phone. >> In your phone. Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Just come over here. Put your hands on my car. I just got a pass search before I put you in my car. Okay. >> Okay. >> No pockets or anything. >> Okay. >> No. >> All right. Until we figure out how we're going to handle this, I'm going to have you sit uncuffed in the backseat of my car. >> I'm going to get you out. We're going to probably do some field sobriety test and all that. I got some more questions for you. >> Right now, I'm going to have you sit down just so we're out of the roadway. >> Are you hurt at all or need or need medics yourself? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Cuz your entire I mean, your car is pretty beat up. I'm making sure. Do you are you bleeding anywhere? >> Um, no. Oh, I'm okay. >> It was that little blood splatter on your hands, maybe from the glass. See, you got glass cut all over you. >> Officers quickly picked up on troubling signs. Stephanie's casual attitude, cracking jokes right after a serious accident was a big red flag. She might be drunk or mentally unstable. >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have a right to talk to lawyer before question. Have a present with you while you're being questioned. Cannot afford to hire a lawyer. Want to be provided for you be before question. Okay. Do you understand each of your rights? What? How do you say your first name? >> Stephanie. >> Stephanie. Um, if you had to ask me, how fast were you going when you hit the person? >> Extended status. >> I would say I was going at least at least 40. At least >> 40. Maybe 40 to 45, but at least 40. >> Okay. All right. Um, do you think you were going too fast for this area at the time with the darkness? >> I honestly don't think I was going too fast because I tried to be precautionary about where I'm at. Um, but I just know that someone one person came out of nowhere. >> Did you have your headlights on? >> Yes, sir. >> Brights on or just regular headlights? >> Regular. >> 41 and drove straight here. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Over the course of the night, how much have you had to drink? >> I probably had about three drinks. >> What's What's What What is three drinks? You like Are we talking What type of drinks? >> Just vodka. >> Vodka. Straight vodka or mixed drinks? >> Uh, vodka and water. So, I was staying hydrated, you know, and drinking. Mhm. >> on it. >> Like right now, if you had me do a test, I think I would pass. Just like not don't test me, but I think I would pass. >> Okay. I'm going to be honest. We are going to do those tests here in a little bit because the circuit we got your purse, your uh phone already, and that's that's all we need out of your car, right? >> Okay. Anytime. All right, Stephanie, go ahead and step on out here for me. We're going to do these uh clip tests. It it started raining a little bit, but it pretty much let up. As long as you're okay with that. >> Okay. >> All right. Come right over here. You can just stand here in front of my squad car and face me. All right, just >> She tried painting herself as a careful driver, claiming the victims came out of nowhere and that the smartest thing she'd done was call 911. Her misplaced confidence in her own sobriety showed she had no real grasp of the crash's severity or her actual condition. I want you to follow the tip of my pen.

Okay. 10 100 11 100 1200 >> The pressure of field sobriety tests slowly chipped away at her cool facade. She failed every step and the breath test results hit like a hammer. Undeniable proof she was way over the limit. >> The drive in Illinois. >> I do not see. >> Okay. 08. Okay. What I have you do is take a deep breath. A long hard steady blow into the straw just like you're blowing up a balloon. Keep blowing till you hear the machine click. Okay. All right. >> Blow him away. >> Yes, ma'am. Take a deep breath.

First off, I'm going to let you know the two pe You did hit two people total. >> I didn't know. >> You did? >> I didn't. >> Okay. I'm just Okay. >> However you want to word it to yourself, that's fine. Okay. I'm just telling you there's two people struck by your vehicle and both both are dead. >> I did not hit you right now. >> Okay. Well, I'm just telling you the two people that hit your car. >> Ma'am, listen. If I >> Two people struck your vehicle, I'm telling you, and they're both deceased on scene. I'm just telling you that information. Okay. We're going to go in here. We're going to do the thing. I appreciate you being cooperative so far. I'm just tell I got to tell you what's going on. You understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. Come. All right. Come on out here this way. >> I'll let you talk today. >> All right. Right over here. Here. I'm going to get Vegas. Take me to Vegas. It's going to be so fun. I'm going to spend at least $500 cuz I'm going to start off with two Long Island. Here's >> You haven't had enough of drinking already? >> We're talking about Vegas. They're still women at Vegas, right? Have you been there? >> When told two people had died, she showed no remorse or grief. Just kept smiling, talking about going to Vegas, worrying about her car and school. That level of detachment could weigh heavily against her in court. >> Okay. Well, you're being too quiet, so I'm going to start seeing him cuz I hate quiet. So, >> got to figure out all your paperwork. That's why the bees you shout out to you. Oh, hey. You never answered me about my car. I have school tomorrow. So, how did I get my car for tomorrow? >> Well, your car is total. >> It's what? >> Your car is total. >> Total total. >> Total wrecked. Did you hear when I said that you >> I'm going to jail tomorrow? >> Did you You're going to jail when we're done here? Yes. >> Did you understand when I told that you killed two people tonight? >> Yes. I'm just wondering when I can go to school. >> Okay, we're done. You're all on body camera being completely careless about killing two people tonight. You could care less. That's sad and pathetic and horrible all at the same time. >> Can you say that every time? >> Yes, ma'am. I can. >> Okay. So, can I ask when I can go back to school? So, I can't wait to join a do club and my co-workers have them. Oh my god, all of them have them. They're going to be like after a medical check, she was booked into jail facing multiple serious charges. What started as a DUI arrest, her BAC more than tripled the legal limit, was upgraded to vehicular homicide and aggravated DUI once officers confirmed two fatalities. She's now staring down the possibility of a long prison sentence. One bloody case had just closed when foolishness reared its head somewhere else. On March 21st, 2025 in Florida, police clocked a car tearing down the road at 85 mph in a 45 zone. What should have been a straightforward speeding stop quickly spiraled into a tense standoff. >> You were at 85 mph and you actually encroached into the 45 mph zone. >> Back there says 55. >> Even Even if the speed limit back there is 55. >> Yeah, that's what I was going on at. >> No, you're going 85. >> Yeah, you're you're cruising. Do you have your license on you? >> Sure. This section now is 45. >> Right. Right. Cuz I'm almost home of that. >> Thank sorry. So this is a citation for that speed. Okay. The 85 and the 45. It does not >> with that. >> You don't get any of the three options. You have to contact this number on the front and schedule a court hearing. Okay. It doesn't allow me to give you a fine amount. >> All right. >> All I need from you is a signature. >> What do you mean? What do you mean? >> Deputy Davidson. It's right there on the bottom of the citation right there. >> You didn't hear what I asked. >> Yeah. You said, "What is my name?" I said, "It's Deputy Davidson." >> I did not ask you. That's >> okay. >> You said that I have to go for a court hearing. I said, "What do you mean by that?" >> It means you got to contact that number and schedule an appearance in front of the judge. The speed is too great for me to issue a fine amount cuz you're over 30 mph over the speed limit. >> In the roadway, one appears to be in. When told she'd been going over 30 mph above the limit, she flat out refused to accept it. Instead, she built her own version of the truth, casting herself as the victim of an unreasonable police stop. >> See if I should sign anything that I'm not stupid. >> I'm just going to tell you a refusal to sign a citation is an arrestable offense. >> So, you're going to arrest me because I do not understand what you're talking about. >> I I don't understand what you don't know what I'm saying to you. I had your speed at >> Hold on. Let me call Let me call my >> Okay. So, this is the ideal deal. You were doing 85 miles an hour in a 45. >> I just I just told you I am making a phone call. >> You listen. I'm not here to make phone calls. >> Okay. So, you want me to sign something that I'm not comfortable family member. >> You don't have to call your family member. You're an adult. I do, sir. No, you don't. >> No. Yeah, sir. >> I'm telling you right now. >> Legal right. I have my rights. >> Okay. You're >> my right. >> Driving is a privilege, not a right. We're going to start out with that. So again, you were doing 85 mph and a posted 45 mph speed. >> And I said I was not. I was 55. >> We're not going to argue road sign. That's something that you go to a judge. >> Correct. >> And in this case, you don't get three options like a normal speech citation. You get the option of calling the number and scheduling a court hearing. At that time, you can make your argument with the judge that you were not speed. Okay? That's the time that you get to argue. You don't get to argue roadside. >> I'm not arguing with you, sir. >> You are arguing with me? >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, you're going to arrest me because I'm not arguing with you. >> I'm not saying you're not I'm arrest I'm not saying I'm arresting you for not agreeing. I'm saying if you fail to sign a citation for a court date. >> I am picking up the citation. I will go to the court, but I'm not citing something that I do not understand. >> Do you want my supervisor to explain this to you? He's right behind Do you want me to call my family member cuz it's right? >> Nothing what your family is going to say is going to change what I'm about to do. >> Calling for a supervising officer showed the first cop was trying to calm things down and keep everything by the book. But her repeated refusals only cranked up the tension until it peaked when she tried to drive off while the officer still had her paperwork in hand. >> Arrest me for that, sir. >> I'm going to let you talk to my supervisor. He's going to tell you that I can arrest you for not signing the citation. >> No, you cannot arrest me for that. >> All right. It's called failure to sign a summon. >> No. Okay. >> I'll be right with you. >> You can't leave. >> You want to go to jail today. You want to go to [ __ ] jail today. >> You want to stop your car and put it in park right now. >> Okay. >> Get out of the car right now. Get out of the car. >> Get out of the [ __ ] car. >> Don't Don't swear at me. Don't swear. You're not. You're not. Sir, he's not allowed to open my vehicle. >> Yes, he is allowed. He's telling you. Why are you driving away from a traffic stop? >> Because I'm talking to him. He walked away from me. >> I said, "Hold tight right now, >> sir. I was talking to him." >> So, you would drive away while he's got your driver's license and your all your paperwork? >> He gave me my driver's license. He gave me my paperwork and then he told me something that I don't agree with. He said, "If you do not agree with that, I said to you, you will go to jail." I said, "No, I want to call my family member to see why I'm going to jail for. I'm a citizen in here. What am I going to jail for? You give me a citation, sir. You give me a citation, sir. I said I will comply. I gave you my license and everything. So, now you tell me you're going to put me to jail. >> So, was it 30 over? >> 85 and 45. >> Okay. So, yeah. >> I was doing 55. >> Hey, listen. It doesn't matter if you're doing 55. It doesn't matter. You have to sign that, >> sir. >> Are you not going to sign it? Yes or no? >> No. >> Okay. >> And then I will go to the judge. >> Okay. Do me a favor. No. No. Take your hand off of me, >> sir. I'm not putting >> Step out of the car. Step out of the car. No. >> You're going to jail. Step out of the car. You're going to jail. >> Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. >> Let me sign. Let me sign the papers. Too late. Too late. You're going to jail. >> Step out of the car. >> You're going to get tased in about two seconds. Step out of the car. >> Wait a minute. >> You're going to jail. >> Wait. Wait a minute. Why y'all doing this? >> Yeah, we are. >> Okay. Wait. That act of defiance forced police to use physical force to keep everyone safe. Even in handcuffs, she kept resisting, accusing officers of punching her in the face. Claims they denied, warning her she could face an additional resisting charge. >> Not right. This is not right. >> This is not right. This is not right. >> Okay. You were >> Sir, this is not right. You just >> Listen, you were just punched me on my >> Listen to me. No, nobody punched you in your face. >> So I can [ __ ] >> Stop resisting. You're going to catch a resisting charge. >> Put your hands behind you. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> I am. >> I don't What are you reaching for? >> I'm not reaching for anything. >> Sir, I'm going to take your license. >> No, no, no. These are my property. >> This is my property. No, I'm putting the set. >> Ma'am, let go of your license. >> Set. >> Hey, let go of it. You're under arrest. You can't have anything. You are under arrest, ma'am. Listen to me. Don't make it any harder. It has to be. You're under arrest. You're going to jail. That's it. >> Okay. Can I have my wallet? >> We will get your wallet. >> No one's pushing you. >> That was so rude. >> You're being rude. >> You were given several orders. You didn't go. We're going to we're going to seat belt you. Okay. >> Hey, put your real camera on. >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. Watch. I'm going to reach over and grab your seat belt. Put your camera on. >> Did you put your camera on when you punched me at all? >> Sit back for me, please. >> I am sitting back. >> Okay. I need to reach around you. >> Sir, can you stop pushing me, please? >> Where's your Hold on. >> Sir, can you stop pushing your >> You want to hand it to me? Once arrested, she stayed combative, complaining non-stop and tossing out more accusations. The officers kept their cool, avoided arguments and handled the situation professionally. She showed no sign of remorse, insisting she was a victim of an unjust system. >> How do you know? >> I did not do anything. >> Okay. >> So, you guys handling me like that? >> Why you men handling me like that? >> You were explaining you have to sign the option or or it's jail. And you said no. He told me that. I said, "I do understand what he's saying. I just need somebody to explain to me what he's saying." And then you called you, pushed me, >> punched me on my face, and then put me in in in here for what? What have I done wrong? >> Okay. That thing is really tight. It's breaking my arm. >> It's breaking. We'll sit down. >> No, no, no. The the the the the the hoff. >> Okay. They're not They're not comfortable. They're not They're not designed to be comfortable. >> Jesus. >> So, >> she just >> I got my camera still running cuz I'm inventorying. >> Yes, absolutely. >> I had her for 85 and the 45. >> Mhm. >> Gave her the 30 over. >> I told her I explained it numerous times. >> So, I She kept going. I'm like, "You know what? You think I'm lying? I'll call my supervisor. [snorts] Um, I'll do the toshi. You just want to run her to jail and I'll I'll hand >> I just wanted to make sure I got everything about you. >> Okay. >> Um, >> make sure there's no large sums in mommy or [ __ ] >> Yeah, I just >> All right. >> I know I'm going to be accused of stealing millions of dollars. So, >> we got headphones. See, it's all like fruits and vegetables back here. >> All right. Just want to make sure we don't let this thing go with >> Yeah. or a fire alarm or something. >> No, [snorts] it's all all fruits and stuff back here. So, >> I'll get her to jail. >> In the end, she was booked on charges of speeding, refusing to sign a citation, and resisting an officer. Penalties could include mandatory court appearances, hefty fines, and possible jail time for obstruction and resisting arrest. But that roadside stubbornness was just the warm-up for a full-blown meltdown waiting inside a hotel lobby on July 12th. >> Was even more explosive. wings, device, the glass container, the wine glass down the stairs. At this point, it's a no. No. >> She need weapons or anything? >> No. No. Okay. >> We travel here for use. >> She pushes our bartender and as I'm coming to her to get her information and she takes off her shoes, shows us the cops. Can you just let her go to sleep? >> Huh? Any help with the lady? Oh, she found her. She is in the employee area naked trying screaming that somebody killed somebody. >> You can't come. She's in the area. >> Sir, stay here. >> Watch out cuz she threw that glass. They went downstairs, man. They went downstairs. >> I appreciate you. Thank you. [screaming] >> Are you okay, man? >> Sheriff's office. Put your hands behind your back. Stand up. Hold on. She keeps mad at me. I don't know what's going on tonight. >> So, make sure you charge her >> battery and LEO. >> Get up. >> Get up. >> What's the quickest way out of here? It's in front. >> Why are you so difficult right now? It's literally a girl. You fight me more, I'm going to take you to the ground. >> I'm not fighting behind. >> You just punched me. So >> I haven't done [ __ ] but my [ __ ] is like um in front of me. >> From the start, officers approached cautiously, dealing with a clearly intoxicated suspect. Her immediate resistance might have been an instinctive fear-driven reaction rather than a planned escape. Still, once told she was under arrest, she fought back hard. >> Don't pull this [ __ ] >> Relax, >> sir. You just said, >> "Is there staring?" No, that's fine. >> Sir, you just said So, I said, >> you know how long she been like this? >> Stop. >> I've been up there the whole time. >> No, I'm just saying. >> I ain't serious. >> Did you guys see cops walking through here? Did you see police walking through here? >> Hey, sir. >> First charges. >> Did she get you >> for her um pushing you? >> You know her name. >> It's not your Okay. >> I'm not going to keep doing this. >> Stop. >> What? [screaming] What? >> What did I do to piss you off? Well, you punched us and you're breaking stuff. [screaming] >> You just assaulted a law enforcement offic. >> Get it. [screaming] [screaming] shoulders. [screaming] >> Grab her. I'm going to hobble her. >> We're going to pull her legs in. Just stay right there. [screaming] She screamed, thrashed, and kicked at the officers. In her drunken state, she may have truly believed she was the victim and the cops were the aggressors. This was a classic sign of severe behavioral breakdown where emotion completely overpowers logic. >> Give me your leg. [screaming] sit [crying] on the floor on you. [screaming] [crying] [crying] [screaming] >> All right, put her on the ground really quick. Put her in the ground. >> You get it together, you [ __ ] >> Okay. >> All right. Let me go on that side. Let me go on that side. Hey, watch her dress. Pull it down. >> All right. Legs first. >> Legs first. >> Yep. >> Go. >> You're going to regret this. >> 718. It's in there. It's in the car. >> Hey, you awake? >> You >> You're awake. >> You >> all right? Perfect. >> 37117. [screaming] >> You will die. >> Yeah. Give me Well, he's not in trouble. So, >> no. No. >> Can you send that to me? >> Yeah. >> Got air dropped. >> Yeah. [screaming] >> So, I alarm. What is that? >> Thank you. Uh, just a bunch of stuff. >> Oh, wow. >> He wasn't even near her when she saw me at the window. >> We didn't Nobody has said that you're involved in >> I got to tell you what happened. After a physical struggle, officers finally got her into the patrol car. They checked her condition to ensure she wasn't seriously hurt, then collected her bracelet and personal belongings. [music] Yet, the defiance didn't stop. She kept making noise and repeating the same nonsensical questions. >> They were all sitting here in the circular big. So, there's probably about 20 people here. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I got one. She's kind of resisting, so we might have to pull her out the car. Okay, stand by right now. Come get you. >> All right. You all right? >> All right. >> All right. God, you going to start screaming again? >> She got wild. They came and told her to shut up. She wouldn't shut up. She threw her glass. >> She went downstairs and nobody saw her after that. And then you guys came and done. >> Got it. >> Yeah, she does. You guys >> What? >> Come on. Come outside. >> What does that mean? >> Come here. >> Uh, English. >> All right. I'm playing this. >> English. English. English. >> Come here. >> English. She she was okay until a point and then she >> she very quickly hit a point and then >> but would anybody want to press charges for >> she's having the guy that's all I feel for the guy that's >> a good guy >> we're going to press charges but we do want to set a trespass >> yeah they're good >> so you don't want to press >> charges but she's never Alpha Juliet and Romeo age nine. >> Do you have any medical problems? >> Hey, >> do you have any medical problems? >> With what? >> Do you have any medical problems? >> With what? >> Do you have any medical issues? >> With what? >> You're just prolonging the amount of time you have to spend in jail. >> With what? With what? >> Prolonging the amount of time you have to spend in jail. >> With what? >> Uh, >> with what? >> She had that already. >> With what? >> Yeah, I went down and talked to >> With what? Though she stopped physically resisting, she shifted to verbal non-ooperation. When asked about medical issues, she drew out her answers, subconsciously [music] stalling to avoid facing the consequences. Even if she understood exactly what she'd done, her self-preservation instincts pushed her to hide or deny it. >> Medications you took? >> Uh, with what? >> In your body. >> With what? >> Your mouth. >> With what? >> She >> with what? She was she >> saying she has lots of medical problems. A win the one. A you love your job. >> Um I saw the video of you and she was pushing you and stuff. >> Yeah. >> Um you want to press charge to talk? >> No. >> I I was just trying to prevent her from leaving hurting herself further. Sending her to mur medical clearance. This is not going to work for you. This is not for work. >> Oh, Jesus Christ. You're going to fall. All right. >> Shut up. It's not that funny. It's not funny. >> I'm not laughing. I'm trying to help you come out the car. >> Out. It's not supposed to be that funny. >> I'm not laughing. >> Me out and I'll get >> Okay, but you have to put your other foot. >> I just I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. >> I'm done. >> Okay, get up. >> Can you get up? >> Am I able to pick her up or >> She's getting She's getting some uh serious felony charges. I don't know. She's getting batter in LEO. She's getting resisting with violence. Those are both uh third degree felonies >> on felony probation. >> Oh [ __ ] >> In the end, she was booked into jail on serious felony charges. Battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence. And because she was already on probation, the penalties could be far harsher, including a lengthy prison sentence and significant fines. On July 13th, 2024 in Alop, Florida, police were called in after a [music] suspicious report came in. A stack of fake $100 bills had just been passed around earlier that morning. Someone was testing their luck, but ended up grabbing the attention of law enforcement instead. >> Ma'am, ma'am, >> five, six, I got one, right? I don't know. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. >> Put your >> I I'm >> Put your hands behind your back. >> I don't know anything. I do not know anything. >> What song is that? >> I'm sorry. >> I have nothing on me to say nothing. >> I have nothing on me for real money. >> We're taking her 12 right now. fall and watch the floor. >> I don't have I don't have I don't know what that is, sir. >> You scared me. >> So, you just run, right? >> I was scared. >> Is the guy still out there? >> He said I got scared. >> I'm not going to run. >> I don't know that. >> I'm I'm not You worked the [ __ ] out of me. You scared the [ __ ] out of me. I don't I don't know what's going on. >> Just have her take a seat, sir. >> Pass $100 fake milk. >> I swear I don't know anything. >> Have a seat. >> Okay. Can you look sir? >> I have no idea. At least I know. >> You got ID on you? >> Yes, sir. Come on. Uh, >> can I go in there? >> Is it here? >> Yes, sir. >> Can I open this? >> Yes, sir. >> So, who passed the bill? >> It was him. >> It was him. >> The guy? Yeah. >> And she was just with him? >> She was with Yeah, she was with him. My cousin gave me some money. I came across I brought the money. Have a >> seat for me. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am, have a seat. >> I didn't know anything about any money. I was talking about Have a seat. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> The moment her name was called, the woman bolted. Pure instinct. Fear was written all over her face. She denied everything over and over, repeating, "I don't know anything." It was less of a defense, more of a reflex, a mental shield. When someone feels backed into a corner, >> they called us up for or they called long ball because somebody passed the pay 20. We got here, they're like, "That's the pass or I'm sorry, the fake $100 bill." We we told the female, we had the male and the female with this. We told the female, "Hey, come towards us." She takes off running. So my trainee goes after her. And when we do that, the the other dude takes off cuz I have to follow our training, you know. >> He was telling me um he had some he wanted me to go into some stores with him and then I really needed the money. I just came out here and lost everything and so he was asking me to come into some stores. >> Where you met him at? >> I met him online. >> Online? >> Yeah. I met him on PO >> through what? >> Huh? >> Through what? >> Through through my phone and he wanted he told me he wanted to take me shopping. You said, "Hey, I took off. I didn't know what you was coming towards me. I I didn't know what the was going on, sir." >> First name Jada. >> Yes. >> And then he told I just met this guy today. He wanted to take me shopping. >> You don't know nothing about him? >> I don't know nothing about him, sir. I'm from Chicago. I came out here on a trip, just met the guy. We walking and talking. He just took me out to eat. And then next thing you know, you said, "Hey, I didn't I've been I just got into a situation in Chicago and I, you know, I'm still kind of shocked from just getting out of jail in Indiana." So, [music] >> I don't know anything about that. And I feel like what the >> I don't know anything about that. I got >> So, why did you take off running when we told you something? >> Cuz I was soing scarless. I just got out of jail in Indiana. I just was shelled. >> What did you go to jail for? >> Um um a misdemeanor from years ago. >> What did you go to jail for? >> Um a misdemeanor of >> What's the charge? >> Misdemeanor possession of marijuana. >> Her panic faded into a quiet, uneasy fear. That's when she shifted the blame onto a man she claimed to have just met online. A familiar tactic. Redirect responsibility and paint herself as an unsuspecting victim. I didn't do this. He tricked me. When an officer tells you to come towards you sir >> to come towards us and we say ma'am come towards us. Yes sir. >> You just take off running >> because the line >> No no no no you just take off running. >> I'm so I've been drinking. >> Okay. Well you're going to jail today for resisting arrests. >> Is that a felony? >> No. It's a misdemeanor. >> Oh my god. >> And then you have the dude's name that that did that >> that did that. I just met him on the internet. I swear to God I just met him on field. I came out here on a trip. >> I came out here on a trip. I met this pastor. But I like I say, I don't know anything about that cuz like I said, I just meditating. >> Oh my god. >> Hair on my face. >> I can tell you what I know from like meeting them. >> Was meeting them. We were talking to Took me out to eat, sir. >> Go get another one. >> Yeah. >> So, who got who who passed this one? >> Um, I did not touched anything. He's I I asked him, like I said, I just met him. He wanted to take me out. He he liked me. I liked him. We've been out here for a couple days together. And then today, he wanted to take me shopping. He took me to this store. I asked him to buy me the He sent us walking around. I asked him to buy me the shirt. I didn't. And they not asked him to pay. I didn't pay anything. >> Are you willing to do a sworn statement for us? >> Sure. >> Here's that. >> Excellent. We'll get you a sworn statement. >> But her story started falling apart. She claimed she knew nothing, yet admitted to shopping with him and letting him pay. Her words no longer match the image she was trying to create. >> So, how is this process feeling? >> Cousin, >> have a seat. >> Cousin, >> seat. Ian, >> have a seat. >> Ian, >> have a seat. >> I'm like, I'm like I'm tell I just met these people. >> Who you Who you screaming at to? You see him? >> No. No, I don't see him.

I I could tell I I >> In the end, she was taken to jail on two charges: nonviolent resistance and fraud. Use of counterfeit currency. Running from officers paired with fake cash on her gave police more than enough cause to arrest her. Now, it's up to a judge to decide what happens next. So, what happens when a young woman gets caught scamming at the bank? On May 22nd, 2024, [music] police were dispatched to a bank when a young woman tried to withdraw money using multiple identical checks at different branches. Suspicious of fraud, the bank staff quickly triggered an alert. >> Quick, I I have a question for you as well before we go down any road. How did you get here? >> I was dropped off >> by a white van. No, I mean [clears throat] it's whatever. I mean it's not anything fraud like but I understand where you're coming from. >> Mhm. >> Cool. Cool. >> So, I've got you trying to cash some checks for $1,500. Got a couple different branches. One was here this morning, so I have that one right now. and we did do it for you because you're an existing client of ours for quite a while. >> You've never had any issues. But then I also had it going to multiple [clears throat] other branches cashing the same checks from the same person for $1,500. He just kind of looked a little suspicious. So we were looking at it. >> I understand. >> Yep. You >> I mean I know I did the two. >> I did give my car to somebody for a while. >> Okay. But I won't tell y'all who cuz you know I mean at the end of the day y'all can put it on me cuz I don't throw nobody up under the bus. >> Okay. >> So yeah. >> But I know I am trying to get my car. >> Okay. Do you want to change your statement about how many checks you try to cash or you just sticking to two? >> Just keep in mind if you went to a ranch I'll have you on film. >> Okay. Just Yeah. Sure. It was me. >> Okay. You said that was your >> How old are you? [clears throat] >> 18. >> Okay. So, here before we go much further, I'm going to read you your rights. Have you ever had your rights read to you? You have. Okay. That's fine. I just I'm going to read them to you and all you got to do is just give me a verbal acknowledgement that you understand or don't understand something and then I'll further elaborate for you. Okay. So, you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? Okay. All right. So, can you stand up for me? Can I put my headphones up real quick? >> Yep, that's fine. >> And [clears throat] actually, real quick, since you're being compliant, I'm going to definitely need you to take your cell phone out of your pocket. Is there anything else in your shorts at all? >> Mm-m. >> Okay. All right. Can you turn around for me? All right. Can you turn it kind of backwards? Like, yeah, just like that. And like that'll be probably the most comfortable for you. All right. >> All right. Shia, body cams on. Move your Miranda rightites again. Police gathered basic information and confirmed there was reasonable suspicion based on the bank records. Meanwhile, the woman remained silent and stubborn until the moment she realized she'd made a serious mistake. >> He told me pretty much the person who gave me the chicken like it's from me. You let you got money. He told me it was his gash. [music] >> He told you it was his? >> Yeah. >> He got money. What does he do? Stuff scammer. >> No, he works. >> Where he works at? >> Where he works at? >> I can't tell you. >> So, what you going to get yourself caught up with some shenanigan? Cuz some do that care. You say you didn't know him, but where he works at though. So when you cash your check, the check got your name on there. Check was blank. So they already had your name on there. >> Yeah. >> So you wrote your name on the check? >> No, I didn't write my name. So, so why you protecting this person if if he's doing all this and you're risking your name >> for the sake of what? >> So, $1,500, how much he he cut you? >> I don't know his name. >> What I'm saying though, if he >> I'm not trying to go to jail. I just turned 18. I don't even have a record. >> I don't want to be in this situation. If I knew old boy name, I would have told you about it. >> She was torn between confessing to get leniency or staying silent to protect someone. Avoiding key details, she clearly showed signs of passive resistance. Was this an act of love and sacrifice or just a foolish decision? >> It was the white man. >> It was the white man. I can't deal with this [ __ ] I'm not trying to put you with that. >> So, how many people was in the car? >> Huh? >> How many people was in the car? >> Two. But he was the only one that You feel me?

You don't know nothing about him. >> You're looking at four fell in the jars. >> How many? >> Four. >> Four. >> Four. >> And that's what, like >> Oh, you got to see a judge tomorrow morning and he's going to set a bond for you and You can choose to pay the whole amount or pay 10% of that. Your bond's going to be in a couple of thousand just to let you check it. >> Here. >> What you mean here? Like in inside the bank? >> No. Like once we got here? >> So he got more checks in that car. >> I don't know. I don't think so. >> So how many time beside this check, right? How many how many other checks he gave you? Two. >> Two more. >> Yeah. >> At this point, she completely lost control of the situation. The fear of being arrested, the feeling of being trapped with no way out eventually pushed her to start talking. >> What am I even doing? Anyways, let me just tell you. I don't know his name, like dead serious, >> but he be on that. He's on his camera. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What? He's from Vero? >> No, I don't think he's from Vero, but he probably live down here or some [ __ ] >> You like the bottom of the bottom, right? No disrespect or whatever. So, you like the bottom fish. You not the person that we I really want. I want to know who's the mastermind, who's organizing all this, who's doing all that. You just just the lower end that's going to get caught >> cuz that person know eventually this check going to come back fraudulent. You go inside a bank. You don't think they got surveillance in here or other stolen stuff in that vehicle as far as fraud stuff? >> Maybe. Yeah. >> Where would it be at? >> I don't know. You just have to check. Okay. All right then. Um, no. I ain't want to tell me nothing else. >> I don't know anything else. >> I'm just asking I'm just asking if you if you want to tell me whatever information.

So, you bought this check this morning. >> Did you cash it this morning? >> Cash it? Yes. >> So, was Seos be out of the loss or >> I believe so. That's why I won't have you talk to my my team. >> Okay. >> The police grew disappointed, believing she was just a pawn in a larger fraud scheme. Under pressure, she admitted to withdrawing money three times at two different banks using checks from the same person. Right then, her mother showed up, bringing with her a deep wave [music] of disappointment. >> All right, you >> This is the detective. >> Yeah, I'm not working this, but I I just came and try to talk to her. Is >> she going to jail? >> Yeah, she is. >> You know who she hanging with? He just told me about some dudes.

This is typically how it happens. >> Wait, what the [ __ ] I don't even understand. I ain't get in no damn trouble like that. I wait so I got like third to get in my little trouble, but I play with guns. I don't trying to shoot something. >> Yeah, hell. What the [ __ ] It's this new generation. These kids money >> nobody. >> No, I don't. He was just describing that to me. I was like, I don't I don't even know who that is. >> So, her story is she met someone at a random store, whatever. But no one want to give me the information of person name. They know each other about a week. He gave her the check with her name on there. Told her the check was legit. She can go ahead and cash the check. This morning she came in and cash a check this morning. Just came back. So I put one out her account or whatever. The victim reported project 19 on her account, >> right? >> Palm Beach. So, like I said, she know more, but she don't want to talk. And I understand what she's not trying to give me too much detail. She looking at four felony charges. >> Four felony charges. >> Yes, ma'am. as in ste how much. Like I said, she's taking a fall for everybody. She she ain't trying to leave no names out or whatever. So, this other person is the bigger fish. Like I told her, that's who I really want. And she just the little little guy fall guy cuz like I said, >> if I knew I could I could say something, but I don't know who it is. You got to learn from your mistakes.

I love you. >> Okay. >> Can you my face? Don't cry. I was wondering you and you [ __ ] up your life, babe. You done [ __ ] up your life. >> In the final phase, the suspect experienced [music] a complete emotional breakdown along with visible damage in her family and social relationships. Although she was the one who withdrew the money, she showed signs of being manipulated, lacked legal understanding, and may have been a victim of exploitation. In the end, she was taken to jail facing serious charges: fraud, forgery, grand theft, and identity theft. If convicted, her future could be lost behind bars. So, what happens next when a shoplifter on a psychotic break gets arrested? Police were called to a retail store after employees suspected a woman of stealing beauty products. Staff reported seeing her slip items into her bag, and it was her next move that sent everything spiraling out of control. >> It's okay. >> All right, ma'am. You ready to go? >> Hey, look. Ma'am, make a right. Ma'am, >> you need your stuff. You say >> no. >> All right. Well, that stuff is going to be checked.
