numbers out of it and then she'll be able to call you from the jail blunt sister is informed of the situation and that they'll wait for their mother to arrive to pick her up as the officers explain the reasons for her sister's arrest and the dangerous nature of the situation the baby's father arrives at the scene to pick up his child he's informed of the arrests and his rights to make a phone call um I'm not sure what the I'm not sure if this is another person related or or or how it goes hello yes ma'am hi I'm her mom you're her mom okay so she came pick her up yeah all right perfect where did s already gone NOP she's in the car can I speak with her not right now no yeah is that any way I can get my car nope it's getting towed so it's used an instrument of a crime so they were side by side at 93 mph and they both have child children in the car with them so your daughter being 15 and there was an infant in that car under a year old wow so they're both getting the same exact charges okay okay but so in no way I can get my rental cuz it's mine I don't even know why she was coming out I don't even know they own 200 yeah so it's getting towed and the rental companies going to have to come get it so it's going to go to the car lot or to the to the tow yard whichever whichever rotation comes that that's my only Transportation you could let me get that when it's if you wanted when it's used in an instrument of a crime I can't but just when you mean just cuz they was racing I know that's a crime but you saying like if they was doing like burglar or it would still it would still apply the same thing now if she just got stopped and let's say her license was suspended but it was your rental car you could come pick it up for that but if they were transporting or they were doing burglaries with the car or racing with the car stuff like that we we can't got to go okay okay can I get my charge out could I get my cuz I know it's going probably to the Run Place so I'm not going to see it no more but that was M um yeah you can you can grab your uh your phone charger out of that and I got a can I pop the trunk I got an umbrella in here too okay I think the keys are probably still in it I would imagine yeah it is what oh she mad what now you calling me for H wait here hello she aggravating oh my God they got to take my money say she talk to me she he looking in the um compartment look like damn we up we did we're done it's your dumb ass you are trying to race bro a few moments later Blunt's mother arrives on scene and is informed by officers about the situation she simply takes her belongings from the vehicle and is visibly angry and disapproving of her daughter's Behavior which causes her to begin to regret her actions yeah all right y y'all can go ahead and go she can call you from the jail huh okay yeah again go ahead and go I'm I'm talking to my daughter about her child I understand what you saying call from jail okay I understand what you
