I was sleeping. Mhm. He like grabbed his hand and like did that kind of and then I put my stuffed animal on my leg and put the tray table down and he like tried to like push past it. From the airplane cabin to the broken home, the real victim was never the one causing the chaos. And then she slapped me in the face and then she went back downstairs and switched sides. She slapped you in the face? Behind every arrest, every scream, there's a child watching, learning, and falling apart in silence. The law can punish the guilty, sure, but it can't heal what the innocent had to witness. On January 15th, 2025, police were called to the airport after reports that a 28-year-old passenger had behaved inappropriately [music] toward a teenage girl on a flight. The flight was canceled and from there the truth began to unravel layer by layer. This is mom. Yeah, I'm mom. Hi mom. Uh just so you know, we have cameras on us, everything's going to be audio and video recorded. Um and then where's your Where's your suitcase? She's coming. This is my daughter. Hi, I'm Officer of the Airport Police. Everything is going to be audio and video recorded. Are you guys comfortable if we pop out and just go to a different corner? Are you guys okay with talking here? I think you guys are the last ones off. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We'll just chat here then cuz my partner took the other individual there. Is he still in the area? Out out there to the right somewhere? Okay. And uh We'll We'll head up there for you guys. Do you have your ID with you by chance? You're okay with me talking to I understand you're not 18. Okay. Are you comfortable with me talking to her? Yes. Okay. Did you observe any throughout the incident? No? Let's head up there. We'll stand in the corner so we can get out of the way. And uh I'll chat with you. Um And what happened? Um yeah. Can you Are you related to him or Okay. It's your daughter. All right. Um I was sleeping. Mhm. And looks like you were too. Um he like grabbed his hand and like did that. Okay. On your thigh or on your on your genital area? Like no, just right there. On your right on your right thigh? Yeah. Um How would you describe that action? I don't know. Did it feel like a rub, a squeeze, a like a hit, a slap? I'm sorry. Kind of a rub. Like a rub? Okay. Did you feel his fingers moving or was it just kind of like the full hand just moved in one direction? Uh his fingers were moving. His thumb was like stroking my Mhm. Okay. So that would have been Was he sitting on on your right side? >> Yeah. Okay. So it would have been his left hand. The man's first accidental touch wasn't an accident at all. It was a test. He wanted to gauge her reaction to see how far he could go without getting caught. And when the girl stayed silent, his false confidence grew, opening the door to something far darker. Where was the arm wrist? Was it up or down during this incident? Though that kind of separates you. It was up. Well, it was It was down, actually. Okay. It was down and it his hand was like under it. Under it? Yeah. Okay. And how many times did he like do that? Just that that motion? That motion only once, but then he like went to like rest his hand on my leg like in that area Okay. um twice more and then I put my stuffed animal on my leg and put the tray table down and he like tried to like push past it. Okay. That is I'm sorry that that's horrible. So two more times? And then and then I got up. Mhm. After the second time, I had pulled up my notes app and showed my teammate and told her what was going on. Mhm. And so she knew. Um Did Did she see the actions at all? And Nobody else saw it. Okay. What What happened after the second time? Um Or should I Actually, technically the third time. Like I just got really uncomfortable so I put my stuffed animal up on my leg and then the tray table down so I was like And um and I felt his hand kind of like trying to like push past it and so I right then and there had my teammate get up and we moved and he got out of the way with her. I tried to wake him up but he didn't wake up at first. Mhm. Um and then I went to the back and told the flight attendants. Okay. And did they move you guys after that? >> Mhm. Okay. Until the end of the flight? Yeah. And did you have any more contact with him towards the end of the flight? Did he come to you guys at all? No. Did he say anything, apologize, or anything like that? Mhm. The moment she had to use her stuffed animal to block him is just chilling. A grown man doing that to a teenage girl. It's the kind of memory that scars for life. His repeated actions erased any doubt that it was just a mistake. I don't know if he knew he was doing it or not but by like fourth time it seemed he had his side. I wanted to move. I apologize. That's right. Uh so I wanted to move. Okay. fourth time. Okay. Seemed too many times for an accident. Okay. Uh let me chat with my partner real quick. All right. Um and uh we'll go from there. Mom, is Is there anything else that that that that maybe she told you that she's forgetting or maybe something that's uh that you noticed yourself or Where were you sitting? I was I was actually in the row behind them. I didn't notice anything um until she she wrote on her notes app and told me what was happening on her phone like in a text and handed it to me and I said, "Get out. Go tell flight attendant." So Okay. Are you um if we're able to establish PC um Are we Are you willing to assist with prosecution and press charges? How are How are you feeling? You doing okay? All right. Give me just one sec. I'll try to get this sorted. All right. So here's Here's what I have. Um it was about an hour into the flight. Okay. He takes his which would be his left hand and rubs her thigh right thigh. She pushes it off. Okay. Um like not She said he didn't touch the genital area but he touched the thigh. And like rubbed or just placed there? Not rubbed. And he got inserted Like this? He got all of these four times [clears throat] pulled in pulled in out. Whether she thinks he's asleep or not, I think this happened repeatedly and it's disgusting. You're not sleeping. Well, she said to She's like it just seemed like after that third, fourth time it just it seemed like it wasn't Yeah. an accident. Like yeah. So that to me crosses that Yeah. that it was intentional. And she just seemed like nervous and In our world that would be an assault for in men's world I don't know what he think about from that. When he was finally caught, he stayed quiet. No apology, no remorse. That silence screamed cowardice. While the girl's mother demanded charges, police called in the FBI. It was the right call legally but emotionally the toll was brutal. We do have a FBI liaison who his supervisor has already called. Just waiting a quick call back from him to see what next steps they want us to take or if they're going to come out and kind of take over the scene because sounds like it happened somewhere around the Vancouver Island which is international kind of thing so FBI deals with that. Just being yeah. Yeah, it's [laughter] the airspace works different. You know If it's not Washington airspace, it's not something that I can enforce so to speak. And they have kind of federal stuff that they do. Um so if you guys want, we can go just down further down the hall. My supervisor As soon as my supervisor gets a call, I think he's on the phone right now. Um if he gives us directives for further information or if they're coming out to kind of handle this and then we can kind of take it from there. You guys are okay. So it'll be a few minutes. Um I don't think it'll be very long but it you know, it might be. Is there Is there anything we can provide for you or for you? I know this is not stuff that we're expecting on a when we're traveling and it could be shaking so if you guys, you know, things start you you know, you remember something else or whatever, I'll give you guys my card with the the case number. Uh feel free to Email's kind of the quick way of reaching out to me or text to the work cell. Um the desk number I I'm not usually stuck at a desk. Uh >> [clears throat] >> any questions, anything I can provide at the moment? No. Okay. This never happens again. So thank you for you know, bringing it up and I appreciate you like, "Hey, no, let's do something." I appreciate that. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So we're we're still waiting on uh word from uh the other representative. Uh but due due to the situation, due to the allegations, they canceled your flight. So you don't have a flight. Uh so this is a consumer notice that says contact information. Did you check a bag? Uh my friend checked checked it in for you. You traveling with a bag that you don't know the contents of? Uh no, my friend checked it in for you. Why would your friend check your bag? Cuz he He's an employee. Uh he paid for my check. He thought he could talk his way out of it but that's not how life works. The airline canceled his ticket and banned him for life. Every door he thought he controlled slammed shut. From a man who thought he was clever to someone realizing he destroyed his own freedom. Baggage canceled. So if you have a bag so that's that's going to continue down to Las Vegas cuz they don't have time to get the air from the bottom of the plane. So here's number for baggage claim here. If you have any info on your band that's going to come up you can contact them cuz they're going to ban you from Alaska Airlines. So if you'd like to contest that or you have any questions that's the email to to get that. And they'll be contacting you maybe in 5 days. Ban usually takes about 30 days to go through is what they're telling me. But that's that's for contacting any of those things if you have And how long will they ban me? Uh that would be good question for Alaska there. I don't know if that's a 1 year, 5 year, forever, who knows. But it it depends. They they probably do some sort of investigation. They probably request copy of the report, who knows. I don't know what all those steps are. It's kind of company but that email would be able be the place to get the information. Any questions about that side of it? Uh no. Okay so just spoke with the FBI agent so you're still detained. We're we're going to walk over to the lobby and hang out there. They're they're going to respond and we're going to go from there. But we're so we're going to head over there. We can get you some water over there. So but we're going to we're going to head that way. Sound good? Okay you want to just follow this officer and then meet at the lobby. Do you have anything else with you? Do you have a backpack or anything? Okay just go this way over here. Great to greet someone. And our boss coming in. Can I see her? Is she coming down or what's she up Yeah we'll let her In the end he was arrested and charged with sexual assault. If found guilty he could face up to 2 years behind bars. And Alaska Airlines has permanently banned him from flying. His sentencing is scheduled for December 15th, 2025. Stay tuned with us for updates on this case as it unfolds because justice never stops mid-flight. When the horror in the sky finally landed the ground had another crime waiting. And this time it came from a mother herself. Police were called after neighbors grew worried about a young boy left home alone covered in suspicious bruises. What began as a simple welfare check quickly turned into a story that left everyone speechless. You What's wrong? You ain't no trouble, buddy. Yeah you ain't no trouble. What's wrong? What year were you born? Ma'am I'm Okay do you know mama's phone number? No? You just here by yourself? All righty. What's wrong, buddy? You can talk to us. Ain't nothing wrong. You're not in no trouble or nothing. You can look up and and talk to us, buddy. You ain't no trouble. I promise. What can I do to to to get you to to tell me what's wrong, buddy? We here for you, buddy. Are you hurting anywhere? My leg and my back. How come your leg and your back's hurting? I fell. You had fell? I'm going to go talk to my partner here. Let me know so I can call the school and let them know that we found you. Okay? Nobody hurt you? Is that that's not why your back's hurting and you and your leg's hurting? Mr. Freeman I have found one of your Um we are at lot number Um we had a a welfare check um to come over here and check on a a young man by the name of Markell. Um complainant lives out here in the trailer park. Scale 1 to 10 10 being the worst what what do you think it is? It hurts pretty bad? Yeah? Bruno. The boy appeared terrified, barely spoke, and gave false answers about his injuries. Classic signs of a child living under threat or psychological control. Fear had become his language and silence his only form of survival in a house ruled by intimidation. Did did you call? What'd you see? Um so like I heard a lot of noise and then I just happened to stick my head out and I was being nosy. And she was yelling at him and he was standing in front of her. Like she was sitting down in the driver's seat and he was standing in front of her looking at her. And she and he fell to the ground. And so he had she had picked him up by the arm and yanked him up and she threw him on the staircase bottom of the staircase. And um Sorry about that. That's fine. And then um she was starting to yell at him and he was crying. And then she started to him and she had her shoe in her hand and she started to him with that shoe. And then she told him to go inside and she took her other kids to school. And I went over there and asked him I was like And before while he was walking inside she threw it at him. She chucked the shoe at him. And then she went in there and then she came out and then she just hurried up and dipped. And then I went over there I was like cuz I had opened the door and when I saw her doing all that and then that's when she was going inside so I closed the door and I was freaking out. I was like what am I going to do cuz I said I was And um And so I asked him I was like hey where's your mom? He was like oh she's in the shower right now. And I was like okay so you're not alone. He goes no I'm not alone. I was like so your mom's here with you. He goes yeah my mom's here with me. I was like so you're not alone. He was no I'm not alone. I was like did your mom just leave? And he goes yeah my mom just left. And I was like okay. I was like is she going to come back? Cuz I I don't know if it was him but I've seen a little boy like just staring at me out the window one day. And I walked in around there cuz I usually come in through that side I don't ever use this door. And so I went back to go check and he was gone. And then I was waiting for like her to pop up or whatever. A neighbor's detailed consistent testimony solidified the abuse allegations and gave officers enough probable cause for prosecution. Moments later the boy's mother drove up in a rage, crashed into a patrol car, and demanded to know why police were there. As if the chaos she caused could somehow erase the truth. Is this juvenile is this mom? OH OH she just hit the police car. Oh god. >> or did she hit my car? Yeah. She just hit your car. Did I hit it? Yeah you sure did. Why are y'all in my house? Well if you come over here away from me I'll explain to you. Huh? Come over here and I'll explain it to you. 36 on we also have a 10-50 at this address. Okay what's going on?

He is not I was not beating [laughter] him this morning. >> listen listen that's not that's a whole lot. Okay.

All right you can step back over here by my patrol vehicle, ma'am. I'm going to be by myself cuz this don't make no sense. Hello. Hello. Mom they out here talking about somebody told the police >> Listen here listen listen listen listen listen. Hey you ain't going to do this in front of your kid. Walk on over here. I I hit him this morning. You afraid of your mother? No? Obviously you hear what your mom is saying. We've got a neighbor saying that that she seen your mom hit morning. Your mom didn't hit you this morning? No? Okay. Well they're going to come out here and talk to you, okay? You got diabetes? Yeah? You feel like you Proof of insurance, ma'am? Yeah.

You were definitely driving fast. >> was not I was going 20. 20? >> 15. Yeah right through all these cars. >> And I ain't what's called went right through cuz y'all threw me at my house. My son IS SITTING OUTSIDE. OKAY NOBODY'S NOT GOING TO BE OKAY. YOU COME TO YOUR HOUSE and you see a whole bunch of police at your house and your sitting outside you won't feel no type of way. >> Ma'am we're not fixing to argue with you about the Okay I understand that what you're saying. >> would would you feel some type of Ma'am Ma'am nobody's saying Ma'am nobody's saying anything. We just asked you for your insurance. She knew exactly why they were there. The angry act was just a distraction, a desperate attempt to control the narrative. Even then her biggest concern wasn't her son's safety or his diabetes but her car insurance and personal belongings. Okay. Bruno has done got trapped. Come on, Bruno. Come here. Bruno. Right here. Come right here. That have nothing to do with me. IT'S YOUR SON. BUT I'M I'M TALKING ABOUT I DID NOT HIT HIM. It has everything to do with you cuz your son is complaining that he's hurting. Exactly.

I'm not going to ask you again. Your dog got away. You good if I put him back in the house? what's his name Mark and this is Bruno. I was 522 and 332 11:30 on a daily basis and nobody can say She been out here on the home cuz I'm the whole entire time. Okay, there's a there's a difference between the accusation and a charge, right? Ain't going to be no charge because I don't So there's not going to be a charge at all. Okay, well At the end of the day, they going to sit here and tell me my son my son's a diabetic. I He going to be in pain. So it really don't matter. Talk to my Let me call you back. My mom is calling me. The reason he didn't go to school today? Because you see how he he acting. He's a diabetic. So him being a diabetic they going to send him right back home from school. So me as his parent >> complaining of anything this morning? No, he was he was perfectly fine. This morning. The more she talked, the clearer it became. There was no motherly instinct left. The boy sat frozen, trembling, completely shut down from the trauma. Every word she spoke was an attempt to dodge responsibility and shift blame while the child's silence screamed louder than anything she said. Go get me a straw. So when you when you picked him up was it just to take him back inside cuz he was throwing a tantrum? Yeah. Okay. Go get me a straw. It's in my uh room. I think on my dresser. Did you spank him at all or anything? No, I don't I don't I don't I don't do that cuz my mom used to do that to me when I was young, you know, back then. And I don't I don't I don't I take the he the tender switch away. I mean there's nothing about there's nothing illegal about a reasonable spanking. I just want >> No, I do not I don't I don't know. I have no reason to. Oh, no. He's a puppy. What are you praying? For what? You're under arrest. For what? For what? Uh-uh, you got to tell me why. I'll tell you in the car. For what? What? Disorderly conduct. For what? >> For the way you acted whenever you pulled up here. Can't I have to get my other Can y'all please for for my Well, you can you can bring your >> No, no, no, no, no. Can I please call my mother? We'll tell you when you get in jail. We'll tell you when you get in jail. For for my You can walk or we can drag you. Let's go. though. Cuz I don't want my son to go to the doctor hospital. Can y'all please No, I need to know my rights. We just told you what to Hop in. Can y'all please Going to get that stuff out of her. You got anything in your pockets? No, I need to know. Can somebody please tell me No, before I get in the car. Can y'all please tell me first? Get in. You can get in the car or we can put you in the car, ma'am. Let's go. Can you somebody talk to me? Can one of y'all talk to me? They will. No, I want I want to know now. That's all right. Get in the car. This is on some beat. Bruno. Bruno. Hey, come here. We're going to need animal control for the dog. Well, you know I believe unless y'all feel like sitting here one of y'all can take this little fellow to animal control yourself. I ain't got nowhere to put him. Put him in the take him or you can just Look >> Tyson eat him. Look at Look at him. Don't you want to take him to jail? Don't you see the Don't you see the resemblance? He was being a bad boy. Don't you see the resemblance? Look at him. She was charged with first-degree child abuse and disorderly [music] conduct. Her own admission about picking him up after he threw himself down only strengthened the case. The arrest, however, is just a temporary fix. What this boy truly needs is someone who'll protect him, not someone who'll hurt him and call it love. Because when she gets out do you really think she'll love him more? Next, police responded to a 911 call from a neighbor who witnessed a drunk mother assaulting her own daughter. What seemed like a moment of rage would leave scars that haunt not only the mother and child, but everyone who saw it happen. Taser. Get in the car right now. Get in the car. Get in the car. Taser. Get in the car. Right now. Get in the car. I'm going to get all those stuff. Get in the car. Get in the car. Please get in the car. God damn, you smell good. Come on, help me out, ma'am. Grab that taser. I got it. Grab that taser. Yep. Hey. You okay? Sorry, I just didn't want um my dog to get to you, so I just shut the front door. Okay, no problem. All right. Give me a second to catch my breath, okay? I'm all I'm old. Are you all the only two involved now? Yes. My dad's deployed. Okay. So what time she start drinking alcohol? Um about yesterday um Do me a favor. You have your dad's number? Yes. Is he Does he pick up the phone? Um I can You can try. >> Yeah, can you call him for me? >> My mom has I can't call him because we have the same number. Uh would that still allow you to call? I think I can't call him technically and you see my phone's broken All right. Let me get mine real quick, okay? This case is a brutal reminder of how alcohol abuse fuels violence. The daughter's statement that her mother had been drinking since the previous day and slapped the children revealed a toxic mix of anger and addiction exploding into something uncontrollable. Hey, do me a favor. Let's go Let's come over. Where's the shade? Yeah, you can come in the I know right. I know when my mom is drinking. It's okay, Ardyn. Yeah, you're you're good, sweetheart. Sir, how you doing? This is This is Deputy Sheriff Alvarado. All right, we're at your house right now with your two daughters cuz your wife has been drinking excessively and uh she was I don't really want to say attacking the but going after them. I just got here, so I'm I'm trying to figure out what's going on, but I wanted to get a hold of you, okay? Your wife right now is she's under arrest, okay? So we got to find out who we can get the to be looked after and all that stuff, okay? What What happened? Uh I don't know. She got into a She got into a argument with the daughters, correct? One of the daughters and um then she started to get physical towards one one of them. The Which one? Um both of them. Yeah. Yeah, so she started to get physical towards the children. And she was The young one. Yeah, the young one the little one got slapped in the face and she's really torn up right now about it. So I'm trying to keep her calm, but I want to make sure we got these kids While the father was away on duty, she lost her sense of motherhood entirely. When police called the soldier to tell him what happened, his voice dropped, [music] heavy like the truth he just heard. He agreed to let his children stay with the neighbors because at least there they were safe. Hey, they could stay next door. Who lives here? I do. He lives there. All right. That's why he was on the phone with me. That's why I came down. Could Could the I got dad on the phone. It's just it's on speaker, sir. Hello. She did kick me. Okay. And I did get her in the car. You can just get obstruction if you want So what are the charges? For me, if it was me, I would do obstruction as well as she was fighting us, so I mean she kicked me Public Public drunk. Nah, I mean she chilled out when I said Well, she said that he just got I just got off the phone with him, the husband, and he said that she's made threats to herself. So I just want to make sure she ain't 10-13. So I don't cuz otherwise that changes everything cuz then she don't go to jail. And then she stepped out when [ __ ] locked her room locked herself in the bathroom and called y'all. She like like snapped her cigarette and pushed him upstairs. Uh-huh. And then she does the laugh. She left? Yes. And then she But she standed in front of the door. I tried to stop her and tell her what she's doing. She wouldn't listen. She said shut up to me and uh um and um and and then she slapped me in the face and then she went back upstairs. And [ __ ] She slapped me in the face. Okay. And she And then she went back downstairs and I told [ __ ] that Mama slapped me. She lied to me and and uh we called y'all and then at the end of the call we solved and then we went into the my sister's bedroom and then we told y'all Has she hit you like that before? No. She always does. And are you okay? I know you talked to EMS. Are you okay? This mother was no longer a source of strength for the man serving his country. Her drunken rage breaking down the bathroom door where her kids hid showed aggression far beyond reason. This wasn't just a loss of control. It was proof she'd crossed every moral line of being a parent. She didn't strike the open face. And I had him take a picture. I went and checked the house. The bedroom up at the top next to the bathroom, split door frame. So >> She kicked the door That's my guess. Okay. Cuz if that's where they locked themselves in, I don't know if they said bathroom or bedroom, but the bedroom's clearly got split door frame. See, I didn't want to fight nobody. When this wiped my face Yeah, we're not going to do that. Put the window up. We're not going to let her disrespect us. Go ahead and put the window up. >> Yeah, we're good. Let me take a picture of that. What's your name again? Dusty. Dusty? >> Let me spell it. D U S T Y. Thank you. Yep, and it's already open. It's Dusty, we're going right on over here. What is going on? You're going to jail. For what? Uh multiple sort of things. Yes, all in my deputy. A multiple Get in, have a seat. No, I need to know. Y'all didn't read me no rights. Go ahead and get in before you catch the lightning. Go ahead and get in. Sit back. Y'all didn't read me no rights. And if you kick us, I swear I will light your I only kicked at cuz he came at me. In the end, the mother was taken to jail and charged with simple assault, obstruction, public intoxication, and assault on an officer. If convicted, she could face jail time, and she's almost certain to lose custody of her child or have her parental rights severely restricted. So, when justice closes one door, the devil opens another. This time with cash in hand and a child on the line. On January 13th, 2022, in Crockett, Texas, inside a Walmart, a woman was accused of offering a stranger an outrageous amount of money to buy her child. When word got out, police quickly tracked down and arrived at the home of 49-year-old Rebecca Lynette Taylor. Who the hell is at my front Hey, Rebecca, it's Lieutenant Press at Crockett Police Department. How are you? I'm good. Why are you at my front door? Cuz I got a call I wanted to talk to you about something today. Okay, could it be that um I don't know. Mom, get over here. THERE THERE COPS WHO AT MY DOOR as usual. Could it be because I adopted $7,000 worth of tiny puppies and they're in my room? No. Then what's it about? Um a conversation you had with a girl at Walmart earlier. Do you remember that about her kid? Yeah. Can you tell me what that conversation was about? Um all right, so I don't like it when people steal at the Walmart. No, Mom, get over here and witness this. Hey, how are you? I'm fine. Hi. Hey, I'm Lieutenant Press at Crockett Police Department. Do you want to talk in front of your mom or do How about this? I'll let my lawyer talk to you. I did nothing wrong. And I don't even know why you're on my precipice, so get off. Okay. Have a good day. Rebecca's behavior during her first contact with police was a textbook case of avoidance and psychological defense. Her record didn't fit the profile of a typical human trafficking suspect, but her evasive responses when confronted raised red flags. Five days later, an arrest warrant was issued. Hey, can you step outside for me, please? Come on, step outside. Ma'am, it's Officer Rebecca, we need to talk to you, okay? We got a warrant for your arrest, okay? Come on. Wait a second.

Well, I tried to come talk to you about it the other day to get your side, and you told me to leave, so I had to leave. And Can we talk about it right now? Well, if you want to call your attorney, I'm not going to talk to you without your attorney. Okay, can I call him and have him come over? Yeah, and if you guys want to talk at the jail, I can come down there and talk to you. But I'm going to jail no matter what. Yes, you are. Okay. >> [clears throat] >> Yeah, if not, it'll go in her property. It's all on camera. And then where are your shoes at? They're going to be in the car. Oh, you know what then? No, we'll take it off at the jail. You want to get some shoes real real quick? You can get out of here. >> And while she's getting her shoes, I'm going to search you, okay? Anything tight for us? I'll check back here and make sure ain't nothing back here. I'm going to check again once she gets you out, okay? All right. All right, you're good. I'm going to read to you your Miranda. You got a camera on. Put your seatbelt on, okay? Even after being formally arrested, Rebecca insisted she was innocent, yet couldn't explain why. Neighbors described her as someone who doesn't recognize boundaries and always finds a way to justify herself. Psychologically, her fixation on money and injustice reflected a distorted moral compass. For her, right and wrong were just prices to negotiate. what you heard or what? >> Well, actually, we went to pick up the stuff for the puppies and they're inside that room. She was going to get puppies that day. >> Yeah, I saw her receipt. items intoxicated. She was really intoxicated. So, and I knew I kind of don't like taking her out, but she insisted to going to Walmart to get the stuff for the puppies. And you drove, right? I saw that on camera. Okay. >> drink at all. So, and when we were there, I did see that she approached the woman, but I didn't hear the part where she was offering money for the baby. She was just staring at the baby, and I did do say a remark, "Oh, she's a cute baby. What's his name?" You know, just like and she told me the name. Mhm. And I was like, "Okay." And we just walked out. She happened to be parked next to my car that I saw is like that she was behind me, the lady with the babies, with her kids. And then once I was saying, I'm like, "Rebecca, just get in the car." You know, cuz I was just like it's another her things, you know, but But you didn't hear what she was saying outside cuz the girl said that Rebecca was yelling at her outside. >> No, I think she just said, "I want me some Coke." That's what I I heard She said, "I want me some Coke." Yeah, that's what I want or something like that. But that's what how she gets. Oh, she gets worse when she's intoxicated. >> Do you know if it's just alcohol or if it's prescription or if it's something else or Um and does she take anything when she drinks? I don't know. Or do you know about her medication or anything? Anything about that she's taking medication, no. Okay. No, but um when she drinks like to kill Okay. Um do you have your ID with you? Okay, thank you so much. I'll have to put you down as um um an involved party, okay? The employee's statement reshaped the entire case. It confirmed that Taylor was intoxicated and had repeatedly tried similar behavior before. The most chilling detail? She always carried bags of cash. That meant her offer to buy a child wasn't an impulse. It was an obsession. to first find out who it was and then also find out if there was truth to it cuz it's such you know, it was I mean, I felt for her, too, you know, if I was if if I was she she didn't know us, so and then she sees a blonde lady and a Mexican lady come on, yeah, she'd be Yeah. but And of course, I mean, honestly, like we've had calls on Rebecca, but I don't know what she's involved in. I don't know if she buys children if she affects, you know. You know, it wasn't you. It's another elderly man, you know, and they come and go because she always makes things up in her mind. Thank you. Thank you. that intoxicated. So, she's the sweetest person, you know. When I came last week, she kicked me off her property. She was she'd be putting up a fight. Okay. Yeah. Well, that day, if you came the day that it happened, then yes, she was really like drink like drunk. >> probably She got mad at me. She said, "Well, you told the cops my address." I'm like, "No, I haven't even talked to the cops I could I didn't know who you were. I didn't even know who who what she was talking about what happened I happened to see the post cuz all my family I have a lot of friends. They They shared it. I was like, "Oh my god, that's why." Yeah. What's your phone number? As the investigation deepened, police uncovered reports of frequent disputes and prior complaints revealing a clear behavioral pattern, confrontational and persistent. Though she had no serious criminal history, her history of financial control and manipulation painted a portrait of a woman who genuinely believed owning a child was something money could achieve. All right, I'm going to take your seatbelt off. All right. All right, you can go ahead and get out. Watch your step. Got a running board in the ground there. All right, stand right here for me. All right, walk around to the front of the vehicle, take a left, and stop on the mat on at the door. Go ahead and stand on the wall to the right and stay right here till they come with you. Huh? Oh. 3:36. Take one more picture. Eventually, Taylor was arrested and charged with purchasing or selling a child, a third-degree felony. If convicted, she faces 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. She was released on bail after posting $50,000 under strict supervision. From a deal that left investigators speechless to a neighborhood that could only laugh in disbelief. On August 10th, 2025, police were dispatched after reports of a dispute between neighbors. What seemed like a simple call quickly uncovered long-brewing tension. 203, everything's stand for. I got them separated. I just need another unit. I'm basically going to end up telling you almost the same thing I said before. >> No, tell me what happened right now. What happened right now is that I drove past their house, okay? Why Why'd you go that way? What do you mean why did I go that way? Cuz I chose to go that way, okay? Okay. >> I am dealing with him flashing and honking, and I've got cars that my kids will stand here and verify, okay, that we are being followed. We are being watched every time we come outside, okay? So, if I I drive and snap a picture of his license plate, it's for a reason. I'm not a [ __ ] crazy psycho. I'm just going to LIKE STRAIGHT UP. GUYS, am I a crazy psycho? I mean, am I a like little me right now, but I am not crazy and I'm not a psycho. He has been driving down and signaling to our car, okay? And then they take turns switching out driving by. They have seen it. I have seen it. I never I can't I can't hear you. You can You don't have to yell. >> I'm not trying to harass him. Let me state that clear. I am not trying to harass him. I have no evil malicious intention whatsoever to just attack somebody like that. I am doing this for a reason, for the safety of my kids, and nobody is listening to me. Why are you following him? WHAT WHY AM I FOLLOWING HIM? HE'S FOLLOWING ME. HE'S FOLLOWED US TO THE GAS STATION. HE'S FOLLOWED US. He's had people follow us. He literally like just told you. He goes down his street, flashes his light, and then there's another car following us. I'm telling you that. YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT HERE witnessing it. The woman entered the conversation in a state of extreme agitation. She wasn't just reporting an incident, she was seeking validation for a worldview in which she was the victim. She repeatedly mentioned the safety of my kids as justification for her stalking behavior, believing it to be an act of self-defense. >> Even for like you don't get it. Like do not attack me. You need to be looking at him. We just like children and I are telling you that we are in danger AND I HAVE GONE TO THE [ __ ] for like since March about it, and he is following. All right. He's a huge butt. Can you take Can you take a breath? Yes. But I I don't need you yelling at me. I'm trying to listen to you. But the thing is is like I'm sorry that I'm so frustrated, but it's like I've been You can check your records. Like go back and check your records. I've reported this since March. >> The guy with the dually, that's the son. I I just told him to wait over there for now. Okay. You can check your like I've reported this since March, beginning of March 2025. After I left here, what did I What did I tell you? You said I can basically take pictures from the sidewalk. It's free. Basically, I just can't like go on his property, you know what I mean, and take pictures. Which I did not do, and I did not do that. >> But did I say go over there and take pictures? Do you think that's going to aggravate the situation? No. Or no no, I don't care about aggravating the situation. If you [ __ ] leave and tell me not to do something, and then he COMES AND DOES IT AGAIN, maybe after you told him not to do something, what do you think I'm going TO DO TO PROTECT MY KIDS? I'M GOING TO WALK DOWN THERE AND I'M GOING TO take a picture. >> Where were your kids? Outside. Okay. >> With me. They can vouch for I'll give you every piece that you wanted. My Arlo camera stuff, I told you I I obviously just can't produce it like out of my [ __ ] hat. Okay, can I see anything tonight that shows everything you just mentioned? Let me ask my neighbors because Victoria >> We're not bothering your neighbors at this time tonight. >> I can text Victoria and say, "Hey, >> You can text her, but we're not We're not I'm not going to go door to door. >> No no no, I don't expect you to. I will just text her and let her know that you Bogo Jessi are back again. Bogo Jessi looking for video, and I will tell her that I need video because my Arlo cameras aren't working, and I have proof of that, too, and that my account is down and that I don't have access. Can I ask you something? What? I You said you record on your phone. Do you have anything tonight that was recorded on your phone? Yeah, but I don't necessarily want to give it to you. Okay. Not at this Not at this moment, and I I don't mean to say that in a rude way. I'm doing that to again to protect my kids. >> Can I talk Can I talk to your kids? Sure. Yeah. A real victim would willingly hand over evidence in pursuit of justice. Her refusal suggested the footage either didn't exist or contained details harmful to her case. Though she initially allowed officers to speak with her children, she soon interrupted, coaching them to make their words fit her narrative. Tell them that you can tell them the truth. Hold on. Hold on. You said I can talk to them, right? Let me talk to them. I'm not I'm not I'm not You can You can stay here and listen if you want. >> No, I'm saying I'm I'm certainly listening, but I just want to make sure that they're I'm not trying to have them answer a certain way. I just want to make sure that they know that they can they can answer it. >> There's There's only one way to answer. I'm just asking what happened. >> I know they don't feel comfortable and safe around the Lakewood Police Department cuz you guys haven't helped us. >> Can I speak to them or no? Yes, you can. Listen. We are not talking about in the past, okay? We are I mean, we are That is definitely an issue, but we're talking He's talking about right now specifically. Okay? You don't know which car, okay? He switches out cars. So, is that like kind of the issue here? Is that what you're trying to explain? He switches out cars. He's got two motorcycles. He's a black Corvette. He had a red Corvette. He has a silver truck, okay? He's got a blue car >> Okay. I'll be I'll be more specific. Did you guys get followed by that neighbor in any of those cars tonight? Not that I'm sure of. But did he do >> Okay. Can I I Yes, you can, but I am still here, and my kids are minors. So But So, can I speak to them? Are you going to speak for them? and if you try to make it to where they can't give their actual answer, I'm going to butt Emily, I'm not putting words in their mouth. At this point >> You're I'm afraid that you're not letting words come out. So, go ahead. Did mom follow him that way or that way? Did she follow him that way? Mhm. So, your mom saw him pull out with a truck, and then she got in her car and followed him that way. Yes. And what happened afterwards? He went that way. I went that way, and then I pulled back on my street, and I came home. Is that when the big truck turned around and came back through here again? What happened after I pulled in with the truck? I think is what he's trying to ask. No, I'm trying to ask I'm trying to figure out the direction you went. Did you pull out onto Lakewood or no? Did the truck pull out onto the main road? >> go out to the street? >> So, did the truck pull out on the main road? Did you pull out to the main road, also? >> Yes. Okay, so the truck When officers pointed out holes in her story, her entire worldview was challenged. Psychologically, she couldn't accept being the aggressor, so she redefined stalking as self-protection, a way to preserve her self-image as the victim. >> a right on Lakewood. Did you make a right on Miller? Yes, I followed him. Yes, he made a right on a Lakewood. I followed him. >> Okay. Why? Explain this. But the truck is not going towards You see what I'm saying? No, the truck is involved. Like my kids are literally My My son literally just said he's been following us. Okay. Let's not yell. We don't have to involve everybody. No, actually, maybe we do because you're not listening. He My son is even telling you that the truck has been following us. He has been following us. Why are you attacking me? Okay. And so, like upsetting what's going on is that I literally am not like going to say with a pen exactly word for word what I said. But what happened was is he started yelling at me. I was like, "What are you doing?" You know what I mean? And he's like, "You [ __ ] crazy started calling me Okay? He started saying, "You're stupid crazy You're a on drugs and all of this stuff." And I said, like Obviously, I don't even know this person. So, it's not like I was following him aggressively. And the fact that he pulled off the street from his house, went down, and then came back. Do you get what I'm saying? So, then he's attacking me, like trying to It was almost like he was trying to invalidate my concern. Does that make sense? Can you guys all, three of you, do me a favor? Can you go in the house and I'll come back and talk to you in a couple of minutes. I have to go talk to him now. Okay? I just want you guys to leave because I don't trust you. To be perfectly honest. >> to talk to you right now. I need you to come over here and talk to me. This is your verbal warning that if you go back over there, okay? You've been trespassed from their property. If you go over there, the first time is a citation, the second time is going to be an arrest. Carter, come here. I need you to listen to this. Come here. Can you start over? And I'm actually going to I'm actually going to That's fine. >> record it. And I know that that sounds so petty, but I'm sorry. With everything that's been going on. Okay. So, what >> need you to listen to me. Okay? If you go over there, you're going to be So, you're trespassed tonight. If you go back on their property over there, How did I trespass tonight? She couldn't tell the difference between a warning and a punishment. To her, every word from the police was an attack. Trapped in a loop of distorted [music] thinking, she froze when the officer finally handed her the real ticket, as if the world itself had just betrayed her. We trespassed. Learn Stop yelling. We know you didn't trespass. We're not saying you trespassed. No one said you No, he didn't. >> No, no, he can put on a Okay. Yeah, we're good. We're just starting off giving the news. You're on his property. This is a trespass warning. Okay. If you go on his property, the first time is a citation, citation. The second time is a physical arrest. Did he get the same? That's what I need. He's not going Sure. We will trespass him off your property. >> I I need to make sure that you please, please >> trespass him. But, listen. The two of you guys, the three of us, please give him the same thing. Okay? >> We will. But, go back and make sure you get that thing. Okay. Can we County Courthouse, September 18th at 1:30 p.m. Yeah. This is for reckless driving. Oh, because you followed me and I was reckless driving. What are you talking about? >> Uh, I actually observed a video of you flying. And did you observe the video of him flying, the same person that provided that video? >> No, you didn't want to give us any videos. >> Okay. Of course. Okay, that's fine. I will We will go to court, and I'm actually very happy to do so because there's a lot of [ __ ] I >> [clears throat] >> Like I need I need to understand my options because I'm not a I mean, I did not do anything wrong. You're not convicted of anything. >> I know, but you're still giving me a damn ticket. >> Yes, and you can go to court and plead your case there. >> I have to even do that. Do you get what I'm saying? >> Okay. I shouldn't have to do that. >> Well, we're not going to have a trial in front of your house. You can have one in court. I have one question. Sure. So, you give him the same thing that you told me, that citation. Mhm. What does it mean if he comes back? Okay, if he comes back and does anything, you know what I mean? Like drives Like does all this [ __ ] again. If he physically comes onto your property, he will get a citation. >> What if he does this? What if he just drives by? Then he's living his life, just like you should go live your life. In the end, the woman wasn't arrested, but received two citations. [music] Disorderly conduct for yelling and provoking behavior, and reckless driving supported by video evidence. But, the real victims were her children, forced to watch their mother lose control, powerless to stop it. When madness draws laughter, recklessness follows, leaving only silence. On February 29th, 2024, police pulled over a vehicle for a traffic violation. A child not wearing a seatbelt and a license plate that was obscured and didn't match a valid Florida registration. What seemed like a routine stop quickly unraveled into something no one expected. Can you roll this back window down for me? Hello. Hi. Can you roll this window down for me? Hi, my name is Officer Finger with the Edgewater Police Department. Reason I stopped you, he's not in his seatbelt, and your tag is obscured.

So, you're aware that in the United States and in the state of Florida, you're required to have specific tags that actually go to the vehicle and is registered. Are you aware of that? >> private automobile. Okay. You've been filled with some false information. She truly believed she was above the law. She had her own custom plate and claimed she wasn't one of those sovereign citizens. But, in truth, she'd been deceived, fooled by people who convinced her that loopholes could override the law. When ideology meets reality, arrogance turns to chaos fast. It's a sovereign It is a sovereign citizen entity? Do you have keys to the vehicle? Can you give me the keys? No, I cannot. Okay. Step out of the car for me. Get out of the car. Unlock it. Can you unlock it? Your car has been reported to Voice Mail. Step out of the CLOSE MY DOOR! STEP OUT OF THE CAR. STEP OUT OF THE CAR.

Grab that one, too. Grab that one, TOO. STOP. STOP. SEE THAT? AMID THE CHAOS, THE SOUND OF children crying filled the air. They rushed toward the officers, begging them not to hurt their mother. In that moment, the lines between right and wrong blurred. All they saw was their mom being taken away. The officers had to maintain order while soothing hearts breaking right before them. nothing wrong, and now you're forcing me pushing me into the >> Get in the Get in the car. You're under arrest. Why? Cuz you kicked me. Battery on a law enforcement officer. You did. It's on camera. You did kick me. You did kick me. >> No, I didn't. >> Yes.

We don't know what's going through your mind. Being a police officer is an inherently dangerous job. So, when you're told to do something and you tell them no, we're going to then make you do it. That's just the way it works. This whole sovereign But, it's still not right. They really forced me to do something. I did not hurt anyone. You don't have a driver's license in the state of Florida. That's a misdemeanor. You're going to jail for that. >> she used to have So, she paid 30 bucks Well, no, I know. She paid 30 bucks to this sovereign citizen group to get that tag because she's one of the foreign national things and they told her you don't need a license anymore. You don't have to register. You don't have to do all this stuff. Just >> it's okay if Maya, their next door neighbor, picks up the >> Is it okay if Maya, your next door neighbor? Yes. Okay. Hello. Hello. Are you Maya? Yes, I am. Got you. 6015 Do you realize all your car Do you have a driver's license? I do. Can I Can we see it so we can make sure 6412 33 drop your VIN out of Florida.

How long have you been I mean, are you like Is it full Do you watch their seminars cuz they do seminars? Do you watch their seminars? Yeah. Do you watch those seminars? Police later explained she'd been misled and never fully understood the nonsense she believed. Then came Maya, sharing the same bizarre ideology. They spoke [music] the same way, argued the same way, and both believed the law didn't apply to them. It was sad watching misinformation spread like wildfire. They have to be registered. That's the bottom line. But, here's the other thing you have to understand, right? For vehicles being towed, but she's walking home with your kids because of how she reacted. Okay? She didn't kick me. She didn't put her hands on a police officer. She didn't yell. I don't know what's going to happen here. Hold on a second. Call me back in a minute. Oh, okay. No. Hey, I'm right I'm right here. It's It's Sergeant Bense. Um you're going to be able to take her kids. Um you're going to receive a citation for unregistered motor vehicle.

Detaining or detaining her, she actually showed up at the traffic stop at the request of the other female to pick up her kids. It was discovered when she got her here that her vehicle was unregistered. We have We have proof from the Department of Motor Vehicles from Department of Transportation. It doesn't have to be registered. They say the Department of Transportation is not the real. I don't know what that means. But again, it does not have to be registered.

I I I don't know how to Where's it registered? With the DOT, USDOT. Maya's vehicle impoundment showed law enforcement's determination to uphold state traffic laws. Even though she cooperated, her car was still in violation. Claims that the vehicle belonged to a trust or was not for commerce were nothing more than failed pseudo legal tactics rejected by US courts. You know what all her charges are right at this very second. Um but she's going to go to jail. Uh she'll be given a bond and she can be bonded out if you guys so choose to bond her out. Otherwise, first appearance will be at 1:30 in the afternoon tomorrow. Okay. Um He's Hey, he's special needs. I got you. He is special needs. Yep.

Thank you. Do you have Do you have the car key? Yes, he took it off already. Do you have any Do you have any questions or anything else you need to say cuz we're going to get her and the kids out of here before it starts raining. Okay? In the end, the woman was taken to jail and charged with battery on an officer, resisting with violence, failure to register a vehicle, and use of a fraudulent or illegal license plate. If convicted, she faces jail time, fines, and suspension of her driver's license. When you believe the law doesn't apply to you, just [music] wait until the cell door closes. Police arrived on scene after a patrol officer spotted a white Dodge speeding recklessly down the road. When ordered to pull over, the driver hit the gas, triggering a dangerous chase that left a trail of collisions behind. And from that moment, the pursuit was on. Okay. Five eight Delta Five eight behind She just hit somebody. Sitting at a red light. Continue going north. I think she's in Ventino's Cigar Bar. She's got [screaming] out. Stop. Turn around.

Please help me. The chase ended without anyone hurt except her own car. But, the real danger wasn't the wreck. It was her mindset, running at all costs, no matter whose life she risked. Tragically, she had just walked out of jail only to find her way back. Put your hands behind your back. >> [screaming] >> Quit resisting. Put your hands behind your back.

Well, I know what happened. I said at the light when you did it. I don't know if he only went to the bail bond. My son was taken to Um so far, I think she's hit three to five people all the way down 41. I got damage on that vehicle. Hard to believe, her son was in the hospital, yet she still managed to cause chaos with his car. She kept insisting she couldn't go back, but every move she made said otherwise. Clearly, her top priority wasn't her family. It was the bottle. Yeah, there was just the crashes. How many people she hit? Do you know who else? I don't know. I was just I was just waiting at the light. Crashed into the She pulled in through whatever was going on. All right. Please help me. Please help me. Do you have anything on you? I got another female deputy coming. I don't have anything on me. I don't know. This lady got hit, too. I don't have anything on me. Just stay right here. I don't have I didn't get her name or anything. She just wrecked her son's car. Okay. My son just went to the hospital. Okay. Okay, he picked me up from So, it was at He picked me Bayshore 41 and Bayshore. Okay. And she She's like coming right at me, hits the curb, blows her tire, and just like the whole way down like swerving all over the place. Unbelievable. Is it off? No. We're going to have to [ __ ] park the car. Oh, yeah. See if you can do that. I I don't understand how you did me like that. Okay. Yeah, we're going to get plenty of help. After the crash, it was the victims themselves who held her down until police arrived. A rare moment showing the strength of law-abiding citizens standing together. Heartbreakingly, she destroyed her son's car and maybe her own future along with it. >> 22 cars. Are you Janice? Yes. Janice L? Yes. And all of them are We got We got We live We are going to be going to first from the area. I want to say it was um home. I believe a couple of the victims have are at my scene at the cigar bar on 41. Huh? She was. You didn't lose your mic, did Uh no, mine's in my pocket. After the crash, she took off running. She ran? I said stop. She said no. And I was like And she She's like stopped, and I guess the guy's run out of here. They all got Are they smoking it? She just hit me. I got in the white truck. Yeah, yeah. She pulled up in front of me cuz I'm on 41 going to turn left on Bayshore, and she's like oh, telling the ride along. I see her coming like switching lanes. I'm like oh, I didn't say nothing. She's coming fast. But right where you're in the far left lane to take the turn, she nailed the curb and it's like I thought she was going to pull over, so I I followed her, and all of a sudden she's speeding up. I'm like I see a smoke, and she's swerving. I'm like uh-oh. Oh, good stuff. split. Just got out. >> Nice. What was that today? Yeah. And that's her son's car. It hurts. It's hurting my arm. Be quiet. That's why you shouldn't run. Watching her behavior, you'd think she missed jail. But when officers revealed how long she'd been out, everyone was stunned. She'd been free for barely an hour. >> son's car. She just totaled it, so. What's her name? Noel Haley. No, that's her That's the That's her son. Janice. Yeah, she looks kind of familiar. Okay, yeah. She told me that she just got out. She just came from the behind bars. It don't It don't She's going to NJC, but she's got to do these charges first. Did you get a picture taken? But um She's got the plate in the looting. One, two, three uh hit-and-runs. Yeah. Um was that it? That's the only thing I Yeah. I'm thinking there's nobody else called in, I guess. I didn't hear nothing. I haven't been listening, but So, just just the one down there, and then these two. Okay, that's three of them. The charges I get Every one is going to be a charge, so. Yeah. All right. Do you know why now that she's a baker act, why she goes to jail? This is her. She fell out. on her little 2 mile an hour run. Now we have to say, did she really fall out here? It was really slow through the ditch and got up there to decide I'm going to sit down. >> feel like you were watching The Walking Dead while she was running? I thought she was going to like just like disappear on me, but she's like those guys already running out. The guy in the white truck got mad because >> you, I was like she's probably really in the street. Unbelievable. She'd just been released from prison 1 hour earlier. It's as if she never learned a thing, just took a short break before heading right back. Now she faces multiple charges including reckless driving, hit-and-run, and resisting arrest. So, how long do you think she'll sit behind bars this time? So, when the shadow of guilt fades, the light of entitlement often sparks a brand new storm. On July 3rd, 2023, police responded to reports of a woman causing a disturbance and refusing to leave a property despite repeated requests. What began as a simple disorderly conduct call soon unfolded into something far more complex. One person speak at a time. You want to take the reins, go. Go. We're here. I'm from Michigan. We're upset because we've been trying so hard since Friday to get her some mental health evaluation. >> We went Again, if you want to take the reins, please one person at a time. No, you calm down. This has been very difficult because every step we take, we can't get her the help she needs. Okay. We went to see her on Friday evening. It went from a 10-minute conversation, and then she went into these delusions and rants and raves. And as soon as we didn't say what she wanted to hear, she went a and pushed us out. We called the cops. We tried to get them to get her to a mental health facility. They said, well, she's in her right to kick you out. She's in her right to be physical with you to get Right? Kick you out of her house. So, I um So, we leave. We leave uh and they say, no, we can't baker act her cuz she's not harming anyone. She's not harming herself. Okay. So, the best thing we have to do now is wait through Sunday. Now, Monday, we thought the courthouse was open. We were going to go petition the judge because she is delusional. She's handing out Yes. She's handing out $50,000 checks to strangers on the street. She came here, made a ruckus, probably didn't pay her bill, wasn't paying attention to the rules, was inviting everybody in their awful to come live with her on campus, and creating havoc, so they kicked her out, rightly so. But she needs help. And so, okay, we go Monday to the courthouse this morning, and they're closed. Can't get it. Is this a substance thing? Is this a mental health thing? >> thing. It's a mental health thing. >> diagnosed with anything? She's not diagnosed with anything. >> been seen? Uh I don't know. She's my older sister. She's 70, I'm 55. But we do have a manic depressive brother who is deceased since 2017. We have another manic depressive sister who's more on the depressed side. And And I've never seen Germaine like this. Germaine is loving and beautiful and like very eccentric, but she is never rude. She's never sworn. She has sworn more in 5 minutes than she's ever sworn in her whole life. This is not my sister. She's having a mental health breakdown. She's having a psychotic break. And she needs help. Officers had tried to help before, but without probable cause, they couldn't detain her. Then Germaine's behavior shifted. Erratic mood swings, emotional collapse, and loss of control. She wasn't herself anymore. Watching her unravel, it was clear this wasn't just losing her temper. This was a full breakdown. She needs mental health more than she needs to go to jail, but she does have to go to jail probably. But whatever. What I'm saying is she needs to get help. Okay, that's why I'm sitting here >> Okay. talking to you to get some background >> Okay. so that we can determine what Okay. what may benefit her. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Now, if there I I don't even know what happened. I was the last one to walk in here. >> Apparently, she assaulted someone. I didn't see that. We'll We'll get into that. I just want to know what it is that we're dealing with. >> She rambled her way in here. She She was No, no. That's okay. I want to know specifically with her what's going on. Okay. Hi. Listen, you're going to have to wait until he comes. You don't tell me what to do, ma'am. Doesn't work that way. >> Okay. You You call somebody higher. I'm not in violation of anything. How can you arrest me? SO, THEY DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE OF NOT HAVING YOU HERE ON THE PROPERTY. I SUGGEST you not scream at me. >> Okay. Please Okay. Go outside. I will not leave. Oh, here's what's going to happen. All right. I'm gone. Last time I don't want her I want to take her to jail. You guys are perfect. I will take her to jail. Thank you. You good? Yeah. Give me the flashlight, man. Yeah. Let's go. Chase, please. Okay. HERE'S THE DEAL. NO, YOU GET BRIAN HERE. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I AM NOT GOING BY HIS ORDERS. GERMAINE, I ASKED YOU TO LEAVE. You're trespassing. YOU LET BRIAN HERE. THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO LEAVE. YOU ARE TRESPASSING ON OUR PROPERTY. Please leave. I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM. YOU GET AWAY FROM ME. >> [screaming] >> TURN OVER. TURN OVER. TURN OVER. GET HER. GET HER. TURN OVER. GET AN AMBULANCE. GET AN AMBULANCE. GET AN AMBULANCE. OKAY. >> [screaming] >> PEOPLE MIGHT MISTAKE HER SISTER FOR THE Karen in this story, but few realize that sometimes family love is the only thing standing between someone and the abyss. As Germaine screamed and denied any wrongdoing, delusion took over reason. The confrontation exploded while truth stood quietly in the background. What did you do? Yeah, I was the last one in here. She didn't want to help her. She's detained with two deputies inside the car. She's got a baker act before I GOT HERE. PLEASE HELP ME. DAMN. I CAN'T GO OUTSIDE. I CAN'T GO OUTSIDE. TAKE ME OUT. I NEED HELP. SOME HELP. COME ON, I NEED MY HANDS UP. COME ON. MA'AM, SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN. MA'AM, [screaming] SIT DOWN. I HAVE A RIGHT TO GO OUTSIDE. I HAVE A RIGHT. LOOK AT ME, MA'AM. NO, LET ME SIT DOWN. NOPE. LET ME IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP, YOU CAN STAND up right there, ma'am. I NEED SOME WATER. >> NOPE. GET YOUR FOOT OFF MY FOOT. MA'AM. HELP. STOP. >> [screaming] >> HELP. PLEASE HELP ME. HELP ME. HELP ME. >> All right, we're here to Help me. Okay. Help me. Help me. Please get them off of me. I'M GOING TO I CAN'T BREATHE. OKAY. >> I CAN'T BREATHE, AND THEY'RE HURTING MY HELP. KICKING ME. OW. >> [screaming] >> OW. OW. OW. ACT LIKE THIS. OW, HE'S HURTING HE'S KICKING ME. OKAY. HE'S HURTING ME. HE'S HURTING CAN you answer really? HE'S UP. OW. I'M SORRY. OW, HE'S KICKING GET THOSE CUFFS OFF. NOPE. PLEASE. You guys have straps for the legs? Yes. can't You can't really handcuff her to the side. It's not really safe. Let's do it out there or something. Please. Get the cuffs It's not a medical area. Can I give her some water? Yes. No. No. No water, ma'am. No. No water. No. You're not going to give me water. Once she gets to the hospital, ma'am. Can I move her hair for her, please? Please. Please. This is messed up. Can you believe this? It's okay, sweetheart. Please promise me you're going to be calm. Please be calm, and they're going to be calm. Sweetheart, they're going to give you help. I need water. I can't give you water, HONEY. I NEED WATER. Can I give you water? And I'm also so dry. We're going to give you some water in a No, I need some water. Where are you taking her? All right, just go and get her family checked out real quick. Then she's going to jail. Please save me. This is so messed up. Her family returned to speak with the officers, explaining [music] that while Germaine had acted violently, she was no longer lucid and needed to be transported to a mental health facility. Their calm, measured cooperation was a textbook example of crisis de-escalation done right. No. Okay, so we have the largest mental health facility Okay. Okay. Okay. That'll probably accompany her. >> Okay. But why is that guy so got a hard on for taking her to jail and not listening? I understand. I understand. I understand. I Okay, I understand. She physically >> I understand. physically assaulted I understand, but she's not in her right mind, and that doesn't make it okay. I'm just saying that she does need a Okay. And and that that That can accompany her. Okay. That can accompany her Okay. and the court process afterwards, maybe a judge will deem it appropriate. Um How did they get a hold of you? What's that? How did we get a hold of this young woman to find out where she was? What facility was it? I live in Tennessee, and he's supposed to get on a plane this So she's going to go to a free standing emergency room just to get medically evaluated, then she's going to be transported to the county jail. Sandy, Sandy. For your information, I'll give you the address and the phone number for our headquarters where the jail is located. Okay. Well, let's get her in Okay. Yeah, just hang out. Yeah, catch your breath. Write everything down. We'll talk about it. I'll gather your information. I'll get you the information you need to get to her, but it sounds like she's taking the trip to the county jail. All right, we're going to get get your cuffs off, right? We'll want to They have to take them off. What did I do? I did absolutely >> to come inside and grab her left arm or her right arm, I mean? I didn't do it. And we'll No, I'm behind my back. Okay. We'll just We're going to reposition her. You all guys are going to get fired. You're going to get sued. You just wait another How do you get sued? Get in line. So we could slide this off. That would be I just know when I take this off, that arm is going to be great. Is she having difficulty breathing? No, listen. I came to I'm here. I'm a full paying client. >> Maybe we'll try to sit her up, maybe. I paid $15,700. I came to talk to Brian. He told me I would have a lot of other property. I mean, sit up for a second. We're going to make her more comfortable, okay? The officers followed proper protocol, especially for someone showing clear signs of mental instability. Meanwhile, Germaine kept rambling about money and power, things completely detached from reality. It became painfully obvious she wasn't talking about real wealth, but about delusions of control. No. I referred 50 people there. All good in that room. They're making over a million and a half dollars off of them. Brian was not able to help her? Thank you. HE DIDN'T COME. I was telling him he started talking to the officer. They threw me off the property last week. What are you guys going to do? They owe me. There you go. Is that all right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to put this right on your lap. >> Yeah, that's fine. All right. Bye. Bye. Thank you. Did you say thank you? You're welcome. >> [sighs and snorts] >> Now, you're my wonderful witness. Some of those doctors were so stupid. And what can you tell me about that other detective? Pretty stupid. Thank you for being here, Chris. You're welcome, sweetheart. I want to go to the station cuz I want them to see all the marks on my leg. That guy had no right. >> her phone And my sister's going to meet me at the the police station? >> I'll afterwards. Afterwards, okay. Yeah, I told them what's going on before we left. Okay. And I can call my attorney, right? >> Absolutely. Okay. I'm not sure how all that works on the inside. I'm just on the outside. >> Okay. You can uh Well, I'll just I'll be very nice at this place. >> Okay. And uh we'll just walk through what we have to, and then I'm going to go home. Okay. And I'm going to go to bed. All right, sounds good. And I'm going to get whatever you can give me to just calm down and go to sleep. >> Okay. I must be now a five billionaire. >> [laughter] >> What's that? I said I must be up to five Not a Not a trillion. Not a quadrillion. I'm probably up to five Whatever it is. Five trillion. Whatever's more than a a trillion? Yeah, cuz you know why? I'm going to sue this hospital, and I'm going to sue this sheriff. In the end, the woman was taken into custody and charged with trespassing and assault. Given her acute mental health condition, the court may replace jail time with mandatory psychiatric treatment. The priority now isn't punishment. It's stabilization and urgent medical care. On October 10th, 2024 in Ohio, a desperate call from a grandmother brought police to the scene. A young mother was refusing to leave the apartment, yelling, threatening, and smashing property. The tension in that home was suffocating, and what happened next only pushed things [music] further toward the edge. It was just a situation where my son's baby mama was temporarily staying with me just for like a week or a couple weeks cuz she she don't She's not on my lease. It's just me and my son on the lease, and I took her off. She's very disrespectful and everything. I've been dealing with it for the longest. I can't do it. I told her by the end of the month I By the end of next month, I want her stuff completely out. That way she don't have no way of going back and forth like that. Just get her stuff. She's staying with her She's staying with her aunt in Avondale. So she's not even staying with me now. I I was giving her the benefit of the doubt trying to help her out cuz she got eviction notice. She's a problem. She's 18 years old. Her mom is supposed to be schizophrenic and bipolar. She just got If you notice behind that door is a hole. Behind the bathroom door is a hole. And is it She pushed the hole so bad it went through the wall. The wall is on the carpet. She did that, too. Daddy's in Daddy's jail. Daddy's in Daddy's jail. He's going to go to jail or no longer living. And you behind this picture you see the Hello. You got to DO IT FOR 100 DOLLARS. YOU DON'T NEED THEIR ASSISTANCE watching me or doing anything for them.

Because at the end of the day, he just got kicked you out from work and brought you over there. So he needs to be the one to bring you back to the city tonight. The grandmother had clearly reached her limit after years of patience, enabling, and trying to hold things together. Meanwhile, the daughter was erratic, emotionally unstable, and completely out of control. Officers stayed neutral trying to de-escalate, but it was clear the girl had no plans to leave willingly. Yeah, well, she wants We're just trying to get the job done. All right, if she's got to go, that's what we're going to try to do. Where are the kids at? The little three The baby is in there. The 8-month-old. The 3-year-old is with her aunt. Okay. >> So she's staying with her aunt right now. She's She's at that point where she throws >> Why is she doing this?

Yeah, but what I'm saying is if she was willing to go in his car, I don't think she's in a mental state to go. Well, can you She's a problem anyway. I didn't have nothing to do with that. She was up there trying to fight the officer. I'm trying to tell you, fool. He won't drop my purse. I don't care about my My purse get kicked. So, why did she come that way?

She was ultimately charged with assaulting a police officer and aggravated trespassing, both felony offenses in Ohio. If convicted, she could face anywhere from 6 months to 3 years behind bars, along with fines, probation, and possible temporary loss of custody, especially if the court deems her a risk to her child. On May 26th, 2023 in Florida, [music] police responded to a horrifying report. A car was on fire in a shopping mall parking lot, and two young children were trapped inside. No adults in sight, and what happened next was nothing short [music] of terrifying. There wasn't a hidden side to it. Okay. I pulled up and it was fully involved. And I [clears throat] came parked over here and walked up, and there was another lady, another customer, that had the two children. Okay. And I was telling her that they looked like they had been in the car because they had little soot on their noses and stuff. Okay. And the the woman inside, which she whose car it is, when she came and saw all, she kept saying her mom was in the car. Okay. But I don't know if that was just shock. Yeah. Okay. She passed out inside. Okay. Yeah, they're taking She's good. Can I ask you guys one more favor? You ripped the bumper off the rear bumper off? Actually, I might be able to see it right there. It's sprayed it, too. Yeah, it might be on that sticker right there. So, that lady says that she saw the lady run out with the kids in the car. And the lady, the mom, kept saying, "My mom's in the car. My mom's in the car." So, there's probably no guy in the car? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. She never said anything about a guy. No. She pulled up and it was already on fire. Good Samaritans pulled the children out just in time, seconds before the flames could spread. But, the mother, she was nowhere to be found. Police jumped into action, working quickly to identify the children and track down whoever left them behind. down. Panic. He stops here and he and he said he came No, not from upstairs. I would say a little bit like from the mall, probably. I didn't see exactly where. I just saw him when he got in my vision. Then, he says, "Oh, shit." And he comes here. That's when I lose him, but Peter, our other manager, that's when he sees him sprint out towards men's. Last time I saw him. Right. Yeah. Not what he was wearing.

And uh review it for George. Um just need to know who was driving. Initial witness descriptions became crucial in issuing an internal BOLO. And then came the security footage, the kind of evidence that speaks louder than any excuse, especially when the suspect deliberately fled the scene, trying to avoid accountability. Like just a Hold on, I'm going to get cuz I got to get back. Yeah, I don't know what the exact address is. All right. Then, we use the evidence evidence.com upload, so we can have them uploaded there, and I'll relay whatever he finds. He's going to meet you over there.

You contact mall security or video mall security, ask them to put a BOLO out for Darius Van Buren. Police confirmed what many feared. The mother and her boyfriend had left the children in the car for nearly an hour while they went into the mall to shoplift. When they saw the smoke, she dumped the stolen goods and ran. The whole thing was caught on camera. This wasn't just reckless. It was a decision to put her children's lives on the line for the sake of a crime. First name Darius, last name Van Buren. Uh 10-4, this is going to be the male we're trying to make contact with. 10-30, disregard. I contacted uh mall security. Hey, man.

He gone. Yeah. Hey, man, what's your first name? Darius Van Buren. Alicia. Alicia. I know everything's kind of coming The boyfriend ran, too, showing clear disregard. But, unless he was the legal guardian, it's harder to hold him criminally responsible. The mother, however, parked the car, left the kids behind, and walked straight into the consequences. She would carry the full weight of accountability. Alicia, look at me. Okay. I know. I know. Yeah, we're going to to get her some help. I can't go with her? You can. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

They're going to be right here. She was ultimately arrested and charged with child neglect causing harm, theft, [music] illegal parking, and driving with expired registration. Her sentence? 30 months in prison, 1 one of probation, a $600 fine, plus the civil consequences that could impact her parental rights. On March 20th, 2024, in Florida, a mother had no choice but to call the cops because her daughter refused to leave the house. >> [music] >> But when the officers showed up, they quickly realized this wasn't just some family squabble. It was the unraveling of a household torn apart at the roots. Jocelyn? Yes, sir. Did I say it? Yes. Okay. >> [clears throat] >> All right. So, it's mom? Mom. Where's mom? Inside. Inside.

In the process of an investigation, yes, you do have to identify yourself. If you really want to play the game, I can fingerprint you and do all that stuff if necessary. I'm not doing this.

When there's a domestic violence complaint, police have the legal right to ask for IDs from everyone involved. Refusing to hand it over is considered non-compliance. And while the woman showed some signs of mental instability, her defiance wasn't panic. It was pure rebellion, a clear pushback against authority. Okay, you have no choice. You have to looking for mental e Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Trespass [laughter] me. Go ahead. Trespass me cuz that's the day that I'm leaving and I will never speak to you again.

I'm This 30-year-old deliberately dressed like a 15-year-old, a desperate, ridiculous trick to dodge consequences. Her mom hesitated at first, but after a long back and forth, she finally agreed to have her daughter trespassed. Even then, the woman doubled down, pushing things past the point of no return. Fine.

I need an ID card. Give it to me expired or whatever. Once restrained, Jocelyn suddenly snapped out of it, asking about her car, her stuff. That kind of shift is typical after an emotional meltdown. The extreme mood swings pointed to something deeper. Medical personnel were brought in to assess her mental state before she was taken to jail. She got mental issues. I know that. She been crying a lot. I have to be That's why I've been in back home. I know. She call She been crying a a lot lonely and talking about herself a lot. I tried I can see when she's sleeping like she can't really breathe like she would like get up like that so of course I don't want my daughter in the street. I need somebody I can take her in.

Watch your head with the door okay? In the end she was charged with non-violent resisting arrest and trespassing after warning. The trespass charge was dropped but she still got 12 months of probation a $6,500 bond and had to pay $1,083 after accepting a no contest plea deal. It's a pretty standard sentence for non-violent defiance. When every story ends it's not just truth we see it's the cost of arrogance [laughter] addiction and delusion.
