Wake up. Wake up. >> From the heartbreak of kids running away to the rage of a desperate mother. >> When was the last time you ate? When was the last time you had dinner or breakfast? >> I didn't have breakfast. >> You didn't have >> Don't scream. Don't scream. That's going to make it worse for them. Okay. >> From a love gone sour to the kind of toxic mess that poisons everyone around it. Stop moving. >> Stand right there and stop it. You are not moving until I tell you you're able to. Now stand there. >> And when betrayal rises on the most sacred of days, the body cam lays bare a cold truth you can't deny. >> Get out of my house. >> Can you take a breath? Your kids are >> No. >> On June 15th, 2025, a chilling 911 call came in made not by an adult, but by a child. The little ones said their parents were locked in a violent fight. Officers rushed to the scene to break up the chaos and protect everyone inside, especially those innocent kids. >> Police care of you. Exactly. >> Crystal Lake police. >> Yeah. Can you come get him? >> Yeah. What's going on? Hold on. Come over here. >> Get out. >> Okay. Come over here. >> Exactly. Go right here. >> Hey, hold on. Hang on, man. Come over here. Come over here. I got to get you guys separated. Come on over here. >> Get out. >> No. >> No. Yeah, you can. I'm not going to leave. >> Get out. >> Yeah, because I didn't let you in my house, so get out. >> Well, I'm investigating. No, >> I'm going to I'm going to count to three and you better get out. >> You should know. You shouldn't touch me. You should know that. >> Exactly. So, get out because I didn't let you in my house. So, get out. >> One. >> No. What's going on? >> So, get out and then I'll talk to you when I'll come out. Yeah. >> 1 2 3. >> No, I'm going to come out. You can talk to me. Right. >> Okay. Come on. >> I got to stand right here. Okay. I'm going to stand right here. >> Lawyer, come on. >> Okay. You can sue me later. Sure. You can do whatever you want. >> No, because my door was open. I didn't let you in. So, get out. Please. What's going on? >> I'm going to I'm going to count to three and 1 2 3. >> Yes. Get out. >> 2011. I'm 104. >> Officer Diaz. Yep. >> I'm I'm going to say 1 2 3. You got to get out of my house. >> Okay. Right. You know what's going on, right? >> Yep. I'm investigating the message. What's going on? >> We can talk out. >> What's going on? >> One. I know my I know my house. >> Okay. Then finish the three. >> All right. So, then get the out. Get out of my house because I didn't let you in. Because the door was open. I didn't let you in. >> What's going on? >> Get out of my house. >> No. What's going on? >> Get out of my house. >> Can you take a breath? Your kids are right there. >> No, I don't give a my kids are there. Get out of my house. I don't care. Get out. One. >> Okay. What's going on? >> Okay. Well, we're not going to talk. >> Where is he at? >> Nope. So, you can get out. >> Get out of my house. You're not allowed to come in here. You're stupid as Get out. 1 2 3. Get out. Get out. I'm not going to touch you, but you got to get out. In her fantasy of control, she thought counting 1 2 3 and barking I know the law would somehow put her in charge. But it was nothing more than empty mind games, the kind you see when someone's lost all grip. The officer stayed calm, ignored her makebelieve rules, and stuck to the real law. >> I didn't let you in. 1 2 3. I didn't let you in. Get out. >> No, I'm going to wait for my backup and then >> No, you're going to get out. If you touch me, I will arrest you. >> Okay, so then get out. No, >> I'm telling you right now, you got to get out. Okay. Well, I'm not going to talk to you. >> Okay. >> So, are you going to get out or not? >> No, cuz I got to talk to both. >> No, because I didn't let you in my house. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, can you please step outside and I will step out with you? >> You can talk to my Yep. My sergeants right here. You can talk to them. >> You guys not No, you're not listening. I didn't let you in my house. >> We're not going to yell in front of the kids. >> I mean, the kids are used to it. So, are you you're not going to come in my house because I didn't let you in my house. >> Is there any other No, they're >> Okay, Diaz. Manny's in here. >> Okay. Exactly. I'll come out with you. >> Go ahead. All three of us. Let's go >> because I didn't let you guys in. Why are you guys in my house? >> There's a 911. >> No, there isn't. >> Did you call 911? >> So, die. >> This can be >> Can you guys come out of my house or not? >> My turn is trying to talk. >> Exactly. Can you come out of my house or not? >> Miss I will come out with you. I All All three of us can come out with >> this could all be resolved with the >> Exactly. Then let's go outside. But you guys are not allowed in my house. Let's go. >> Grab him and come outside. cuz he knows the law. So, can we come outside or not? >> Let's go. >> Let's go. >> You because I'm going to go because you know, >> let's go. You know the law. Don't >> cuz I didn't let you in my house. The door was open, but I didn't let you in my house. >> Come outside of my house cuz I didn't let you in. I No, he knows the law. I didn't let him in my house. Come outside my house. Diaz, >> can we stop yelling? >> No, I'm not going to stop yelling because I didn't let Diaz inside my house and I know all three of your cameras are on and I didn't let Diaz inside my house. She swore she knew the law better than the cops and claimed they had no right to step inside her home. But here's the truth. Under the law, police can enter when there's probable cause or when responding to an emergency. And a 911 call from a scared child about domestic violence. That's all the cause they need to step in and keep people safe. >> So, can you tell him to come out? I will step out with him. Can you tell him? >> No. >> Yes. Because that's the law. >> We need to make sure everything is okay here. >> Okay. So, then do you not see it okay or not? >> [ __ ] Come out because I didn't let you in my house. Diaz, step outside my house cuz I didn't let you in and you don't have permission to be in my house. Yeah. Yeah. I This guy is came in my house without me letting him in. >> I know you guys know the rules. >> 911 call. Hang on. >> Okay. Who was the Who was the 911 call from? Who? >> Say the name. >> I don't have a name. >> Okay. Well, then call your dispatch and call and ask for her name. >> So then what's her name? What's her name? >> What's her name? >> I didn't get the name. >> Okay. So, can you please call your dispatch and ask for the name? Because I know you guys do this. I'm not I'm not new to this. I'm not. So, can you please call your dispatch and ask you guys get out? Okay. Go over there. >> You said mommy was hitting dad. >> Let you in. I didn't. You just barged in. I didn't let you in. Can you get out? >> Well, the door was open. >> I'm going to tell you to please get out of my house. >> No. My barge already told you that I wasn't. >> Can you please come step out of my house and I will step out with you? >> Yeah, because I didn't let him in. >> No, I already told you. >> I didn't let you in. I didn't. Can you come tell him that we didn't let him in? >> Why are you so hostile with us? >> Because don't come in at my house. >> But why are you being hostile? >> Because I didn't let you in and I know the law. So, get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Because I know the law, dude. [ __ ] You got to go. You got to go, Diaz. You know the law, dude. I will get you fired. You got to go. >> That's fine. I already told you. You can sue me later. You can fire me. >> You got to go right now. I will come out with you and I will talk to you. But you got to go. >> I have to stay here. Okay, let's go. >> Then let's go. You got to step out of my house cuz I didn't let you in. >> No, I can't. >> Yes. 100% you did. >> You got to go cuz I didn't let you in my house. So, you got to go. Please step out. I'm not going to touch you because you guys play this. Oh, you touched me. I'm going to in the restaurant. You got to go. >> You already remember you already touched me. Yep. I told you. Yeah, you did. >> You got to go. No, you didn't. So, play it back. You got to go. >> Can you take your officer with you? I will come out with you guys >> because I didn't let him in. >> He can make his own decision. I'm not going to touch Yeah, but he's got to go because he's waiting for me to touch him and he's aing [ __ ] >> I'm not waiting for you to touch me. I'm waiting for you to talk to us. >> Her threats to get the officers fired weren't just anger. They were pure desperation. A lastditch grab at control. But what came next pushed everything over the edge and changed the whole story. >> Great. Then you can stay in. Yeah. This is my house. You arrest. This is my house and I'll give you one last word. >> No, because this is my house. I know the law. I know the law. >> You're going to be under arrest. Okay. So, >> okay. But I can't let you guys in, right? Exactly. >> You're close to getting a battery on me there. No, stop. >> Oh my god, you guys are so stupid because I know the law. >> And then what did you do? What' she do when you tried to reopen the door? >> She's uh she was trying to keep it locked. And I said, "If you keeping her in, I'm going to arrest you." Push. >> Don't open the door. We're going to kick down the door. You got 5 seconds. So, we're going to force our way in that door. >> One. >> One. >> Two. >> Three. >> Four. >> Five. Five. >> Okay. >> Okay. You're coming with me. You're under arrest because you scratched me. >> Yes, you are. You're under arrest. If you resist, you will get another charge. >> No, I'm not. >> If you resist, you're going to get another charge. >> You're under arrest. You're under arrest. Get up because >> No, I'm not. No, I'm not. >> Bring her off. Bring her up. >> Why am I under arrest? >> Get away from the children. >> Put your hands back. Put your hand behind your back. >> Why? Tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why. This is right here. >> Wait, can I get Can I get some clothes on, please? >> I don't have clothes on. >> Put your hands behind your back or you're going to go to the ground. >> I got behind you. Okay. >> Yep. >> But I didn't. Can I get some clothes on? >> No. No. We're pass We're past that point. >> If you mark 83 close. >> Okay. So then tell him I'm going to stand right here. Like still. Literally. >> Yeah. Literally, I'm going to stand right here. Can you tell them to get me clothes? >> Yes. >> All right, let me adjust these so they don't close up. >> What's your name? >> You're under arrest now. >> What is your name? >> Otherwise, you have to go to county. >> Okay. Well, can you guys give me clothes and then we have to give you no instruction? >> I literally don't have clothes on. >> We're going to get you clothes. >> You call me give me clothes and I'll tell you my >> working on it. What's your name? >> Why can't you just tell us your name and make this easier? >> Because why are you guys arresting me? I didn't call you guys. Once cuffed, she unraveled completely. She refused to walk, demanded to change clothes, and wouldn't even give her name. That's the final act of someone who can't accept reality. In her mind, being arrested was unthinkable, leaving her clinging to denial and spinning out of control. >> Yeah, because this guy came in like, oh, 100%. I didn't let him in. He's not letting you go. >> I didn't let him in without with with permission. I didn't get We don't know that. Can you call him over here? >> Cuz if you hit him. >> Okay. So then can I sit there and you guys call him out here and then ask him past that point right now? >> No, we're not because you guys are just No, you're not because I didn't let him in. Can you let me? I'm not going anywhere. >> No, the way you're at. Okay. But I'm not going anywhere. >> To the car in close out to the station. >> Awesome. To the car. To their car. >> Stand back. Stand back. Are you being >> Yeah. I don't have clothes on. >> Stand back. >> I don't have clothes on. >> All right. Ready? I don't have clothes on. I don't have clothes on. Please >> over here. Okay. >> I don't I literally don't. >> Is that your car? >> I I don't know whose car This is mine. >> Other side. Come on. >> I don't know. >> Come with us. >> Oh my god. This can't be happening to me. >> Okay. Get in the car. Get in the Get in the car. >> No. >> Get in the vehicle or we're going to place you in the vehicle. >> Get inside the vehicle. Get inside the car for like a second, please, because I'm 5 seconds. I've never listen you have you have to calm down and breathe. Look, >> listen. Just stop. Just No, no, no, no. Just Just stop. >> Give me a breather. >> Just stop talking and breathe. Stop talking. I'm trying to You need to stop talking and breathe. Deep breaths. >> Deep breaths. I know you guys can listen. Just stop talking and you could breathe. You're not allowing yourself to do that. Stop talking. >> Holding me really tight. Because you're falling. You're falling. No. No. Look. Okay. Well, we don't You're You're under our custody. We can't let go. >> I'm not going to let you have >> Okay. >> Can you just give me a breather for like a second? I'm not going to move. I promise. >> I I can't let go of you. >> I know. I know. No, no, but >> take a breath. He did. He let He let you go. He let go. >> I know. I felt that. >> In the end, she was hauled off to jail, charged with felony assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. That means prison time, probation, and heavy fines are all on the table. Assaulting an officer on duty. That's as serious as it gets. The real question is, do you think this arrest will finally make her change, or will history just repeat itself? Drop your thoughts in the comments. When the kids themselves are forced to call the cops, that's when another child makes the heartbreaking choice to run from home. On January 22nd, 2022, police got a call from a mother reporting her daughter Luna had run away. But when Luna was finally found, she accused her parents of abuse. That shocking claim flipped the case from a missing child into a full-blown investigation, forcing officers to take immediate action. >> Can you tell me a little more of what happened cuz I'm just getting here. >> At like 8 or it was actually about 8:15 this morning. >> Okay. >> She got up out of her bed like she just woke up for the day. >> She was like, I'm I have to go to the bathroom. I saw her walk into the restroom and then I started changing her sister's diaper so I wasn't like paying too much attention. I heard her not in the bathroom anymore. So I looked and I was like Luna and she wasn't in her room and that's when I heard her by the back door and then I was like Luna. And then I walked over to see her and as I was walking over there she was opening the back door to emotional processing disorder and she's had it like basically since she was about this size. >> Okay. She's always had a thing with like running away or like hoarding things. >> Where does she usually go to? >> The That's That's where why we're baffled right now because like she always goes to the same places. Like always, which is the neighbor's house right here. >> Which which one? Which neighbor's house? >> This. >> Did you tell any officer this? >> We've shown all the offices. Every single one. >> Um Well, normally I see the neighbor in the front yard this morning since this happened, >> but I don't think they're home today. >> Okay. >> I didn't see the truck in the yard. um of the husband that I know he usually has a truck. >> So where did you last see her? >> Down here on Flaggler like cuz when she ran back street and like you know the baby and stuff. >> Sure. >> So I followed her as far as I could and I saw her. She not this light and she went to like the next street >> and then she usually comes back around and she'll like hang out in this neighbor's yard and like hide in the trees. The one with the >> I'll take 26. I'm going to check your house again. Is that okay? >> Are you okay? >> Hi, buddy. You okay if I go take a look for your [ __ ] >> Yes. >> Thanks. >> Um, actually, >> are you locked out now? >> Albus, did you lock the door, sweetie? >> No, I went in. >> River, you locked the door. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> A child running away, especially with a history of it, is enough to spark a search. But the mother's quick move to slap on a label, calling it an emotional processing disorder, and blaming her daughter right from the start. That's a red flag. It suggests she might have been trying to spin the story instead of facing the truth about what was happening at home. >> I'm looking for a little girl, Luna. I was told she likes to hang out over here. >> She gone again? >> Yeah. Have you seen her this morning? >> I haven't. >> All right. Well, if you do, can you call 911? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Where does she does she usually come right inside your house? >> No. >> Oh, you did? Okay. Mom said she hangs out here. So, >> no, she don't hang out here. >> Okay. >> That's first time called 911 when she came here. Did she knock on the door last time or just come in? >> No, she she was right there. I was on the porch. >> Okay, hold on. We got her. Uh, if you come east towards point Seattle, >> probably this one. Excellent. >> Nice job, guys. >> You okay, sweetheart? >> What grade are you in, honey? >> Third grade. >> Third grade. Okay. >> Such a pretty girl. >> You are. Why were you hiding from us? cuz I just always have to go back home and I don't like it. >> You don't like it at home? Okay. >> Okay. Well, where >> want to be with grandma? >> Where does your grandparents live? >> My grandma lives in Connecticut cuz mommy and daddy say she's just mean when she's not and they and they never let us go there. >> Okay. >> How are your mom and dad mean to you? What do they do that's mean? I do small food and do so much and and and hard now. >> Okay. >> Here's some water, baby. Drink a little water. Okay. >> They say it's too hard. They just say, "Do it or you don't get your meals." And then they lock me in my room at night and and they lock the door. >> Okay. >> You don't like it over there where you live? >> Why not? Mommy's always being bossy and telling me to brush my teeth again and again. And they make me do two men and always locked in. >> Luna's statements being locked up, denied food, forced into cold baths point far beyond discipline. That's neglect and abuse. And the mother's reaction wasn't worry or heartbreak. It was sharp defensiveness, flatout denial, and even accusing her daughter of lying just to get back at her. >> You think you're going to eat? Do you think you can eat like five? >> No, I think she can eat like 10. >> What? >> How about 15? Could you eat 15 nuggets? >> Yeah, but I probably we stop at that. >> But then you wouldn't be you wouldn't have room for cookies. >> You got to save. >> Thought she was hungry. So, we got an officer going to get her some uh food. >> No, we have food at home. That's that's that's a that's a symptom of her disorder. She will lie and say we have not fed her. She will say she's hungry. She will say whatever. Like she we have food. And like the thing is she has food allergies. She's severely allergic to dairy. Like she cannot eat any kind of goat or cow or like any kind of >> chicken nuggets. >> No, she cannot. >> She cannot. Absolutely not. >> All right. Why? >> She cannot because there are ingredients into them. >> Like number one, number one, we're vegan. And we're vegan because she is allergic to dairy. And even if we weren't vegan, like those chicken nuggets have milk powder and the dairy in it. >> Okay. >> Like so. What does she eat normally? >> Everything. Like literally, we give her nuggets. They're just like glutenfree vegan nuggets. Like we had like we literally she she ran away before she could have her breakfast this morning. >> I guess she told everybody that she was hungry and like they're trying to give her chicken nuggets or something, but we have >> No, we won't give her chicken nuggets. If she's allergic to it, we're not going to do that. >> And like the McDonald's French fries have like literal like milk and like meat powder in them. Like we can't. Wendy's fries are like literally the only thing, but like she doesn't need fries because like she has wholesome food at home like >> Okay. >> Luna is allergic to dairy and vegan so she can't have any type of chicken nuggets or fries. >> Gotcha. She's good with orange juice though. >> With orange juice. Yeah. But like we literally have like she has a smoothie at home with orange juice in it. Like we have like like the other officer saw we have like a literal fridge overflowing with food. >> The parents piled on excuses. vegan diets, allergies, pass DCF checks to paint themselves innocent. But then came the contradiction. Refusing to let Luna eat food that officers had just bought for her, the mother doubled down, circling the same old talking points as if complexity could somehow cover up the truth. >> Your husband is a chef, right? >> Yeah, exactly. We have food. He's a professional chef. We have food. >> Where's he at? Where's he working? >> He's working right now out of town, so that's why this is going on probably. I think she's upset that her dad went out of town and she's This is the first time happening. >> I am very old. I'm older than your mom and dad. >> Hey, bro. Would you like eat it, man? On your own. >> Here you go, Luna. >> Jeez, bro. >> I don't know. They just said I can go see Luna, but I can't bring the baby over there >> and like they wanted to hold the baby, but I said no. Like, I'm not comfortable with anybody holding the baby. >> Archer. Archer. >> She just wants to see her real quick. >> Yeah. Anna, are you okay? Where are your shoes? You weren't wearing shoes. >> Would you like a hug? No, thank you. What's been going on? Do you want to talk to Daddy? Daddy's been on the phone. We've been very worried about you. Elena, we need to make sure you're safe. Mommy has been very, very worried about you. Can you talk to mommy and explain what's been going on? Baby, you've been missing. It's been more than 3 hours since you ran out. You ran out without having breakfast or even saying good morning to mommy. You just went to the bathroom and went out the back door. >> Okay, listen. It is time to I don't know what you've told the police, but it is time to tell the truth. Okay, it is time to tell the truth because every time that you've told to the police before, you've said something other than the truth. And I don't know what you've said so far, but it is time to tell the truth if you haven't already. Okay. >> What was going to say? I think he's trying to make sure that you're safe because dad is worried. >> Mom, can we talk to you for a second? Over here. >> Right over here. We're going to just talk to you. >> I don't know what's going on. They're saying you can't talk to her. >> You're not in any trouble, honey. >> You're not in any trouble. >> I know what will happen if you leave the house. >> What? What happened? >> Mom's just going to lock me in. >> She's going to lock in your room? >> Yes. And >> why would she lock in your room? cuz cuz she doesn't want me to tell people that I'm hungry. >> Luna admitted she'd be locked up again if she told the truth, and that was the most damning evidence of all. It confirmed her earlier claims and revealed a clear pattern of abuse. When the arrest warrant came down, the mother melted down, screaming, panicking, and showing more fear of losing control than concern for her children. >> You're going to be placed under arrest. Okay. For a child, >> what? >> No. No. My baby. >> You okay? >> My baby. >> My baby. >> Hold on a second, ma'am. Okay. The kids. >> My baby. >> The kids are okay. >> My baby. >> Don't scream. Don't scream. That's going to make it worse for them. Okay. >> Don't scream. Don't scream. >> You don't want to upset them. >> My baby. >> Have a seat in the car. >> Please wait until their dad gets here. Please. >> They're okay, ma'am. >> They're okay. Dad gets here. >> My baby. >> Slide. Slide your legs in, please. >> My baby. >> Slide your legs in, please. >> No. She needs her. They're They're okay. >> They're okay. They're okay. >> They're okay, ma'am. >> No, she's not okay. My baby. >> They're with us. They're okay. >> In the house, she's bossy and and doesn't act like a great mother. >> And I think she just thinks I'm allergic because at grandma's house, grandma feeds us good. And once in a while, she gives us some nonvegan stuff. But I never but none of us ever get sick. She just thinks that because once when I was a baby, I got sick. But I was a baby then. >> My baby. >> All right. >> Go home quickly. There's food in the fridge and I could bring >> What kind of food is in the fridge? >> I don't know, but I know there's stuff in the fridge. Mommy and daddy get food, but they don't give it to us. They eat it themselves. H. Hello, sir. I'm Lieutenant Wigs. How can I help you? Um, >> I'm here to pick up my kids. >> Okay. Um, your kids are upstairs. They're safe. Everybody's good. >> We will be the officer that's handling the case. We'll be down shortly to talk to you. >> Okay. >> And let you know what's going on. Okay. >> All right. So, but it may be a little bit cuz they're in an interview right now. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, I just ask if you could have a little patience with us. >> All right. >> Okay. Once they're done talking with who they need to talk to, they'll come down and talk to you as well. >> Okay. >> In the end, she was taken to jail and charged with child neglect. That can mean prison time, probation, and losing custody. The final sentence will depend on state law, how severe the abuse is ruled, and whether she's got prior. But Luna's words about being locked up and starved are now central to the case against her mother. And if one child chooses to run just to escape her parents, another mother's denial drives her own daughter straight into collapse. On March 25th, 2024, a worried passer by called police after spotting a woman slumped over in a parked car. At first, it looked like a simple welfare check, but as officers moved in, what unfolded quickly turned into something far more serious. Police Department. It's the police. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Hello. Hey, they said that uh she's parked here every day or this vehicle is parked here almost every day. So, I'm thinking she lives at one of these two places. They think it's maybe this one. For cells, wake up. Wake up. 527. 502 104. Reports. >> Reports. Does she have any medical problems? >> Yeah. What's wrong? >> She's not waking up. So, >> she had a seizure. >> She could be having one. >> Nah. Excuse me. Hey, baby. It's Britney. >> Do you have keys to the cart? >> I do not. Triple. >> An older woman, later confirmed to be the suspect's mother, told officers her daughter had a history of seizures. But one officer noticed the young woman's eyes open and her attitude defiant. That made mom's excuse sound shaky. Even worse, her detached reaction raised more red flags about what was really going on. [Music] She's either spilled something on herself or she's >> Well, I don't see. Yeah, she did. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. There we go. Open the door, Britney. Baby, come on. You >> sure she's not intoxicated? >> No. >> Bring me my insurance card so I can have him open the door or bring me yours. Ma'am, AAA is going to take like 3 hours to get here. There's no way that's going to be an option. We're going to need to break the window or something. say if she's having a seizure or if she has a medical history, we can >> bring you a car here right away. >> It's in my console in the car. >> Yeah, I think we have one in patrol, but >> I think mom's covering for her. >> Okay, what about her? >> Hey, Brit. It's mom. It's mom. >> Hey, baby. >> Open the door. >> Let me in, baby. Let me in, sweetie. >> Apparently, she almost crashed into somebody on the way here. So, >> Britney, open the door, baby. >> Hey. Hey, baby. Come on. [Music] >> Thank you, sweetie. She opened it. Forget it. Thanks. Hey, sweetie. >> Hey. Welcome to our community. You'll hear about it on the black. >> Please turn off the car. Listen. >> Do you have a seizure? Are you okay? Excuse me. >> Let's get inside. Let's go inside. Get your meds. >> Let's go inside. >> Okay. Let's go. >> Let's go. Where's your purse? You >> The way mother and daughter played off each other felt more like a cover up than concerned. After mom pleaded, the woman finally cracked the door open, proving she was conscious and in control. That moment only fueled suspicions. This wasn't a seizure at all, but straight up intoxication. >> That sucks. >> Let's go in the house, baby. >> What's going on tonight? >> What is >> I don't know. You tell me. >> You tell me. >> Everything okay? >> Is everything okay? >> I don't know what's going on tonight. >> You tell me. You seem like you're very intoxicated. >> Is it? >> Mhm. >> That's so cute for you. >> Okay. Can you step out of the car for me? >> I would not. >> Britney, let's just go in the house. Sweetie, you're home. Let's go. >> Where's your keys at? >> Are you [ __ ] kidding me? Where's your keys to the car? Are they in the car? >> Stop. Do not reach in my car. >> Stop. Do not touch me. Passing >> my daughter. >> Do not touch me. I'm going to >> ask you to step back, please. >> Do not touch me. Do not touch. Rich, >> either you get out of the car or I'm going to throw you on the ground. I don't want >> No, you're not. I will so sue your ass. >> Hey, I'm giving her a lawful order to get out of the vehicle. She's refused. That's resisting. >> Do not [ __ ] touch me. I am stepping. >> Get out of the car. No, I'm not touch. >> You can go to jail for obstruction, too. Ma'am, >> record from over here, please. >> Do not touch from back here. >> Get out of the car. >> Do not touch. >> Get out of the car. >> Let's go. Come on. >> Ma'am, >> do not touch me. >> Get out of the car. I'm asking you nicely to get out of the vehicle. Okay. >> Do not touch me. >> Do not touch me. >> Okay. Leave her alone. Okay. You're both going down. >> She can go to her house. >> She just put her hands on me, man. >> You put your hand put my hands >> Yeah, cuz I'm asking her to get out of the car. >> Well, that's not how this works, man. Sorry. >> I'm right. >> Okay, good. That's where you need to stay. >> She can go to jail tonight then. >> This wasn't blind protection anymore. It was enabling. By shielding her daughter, mom only allowed her reckless behavior to spiral. To the daughter, that kind of unconditional cover felt normal. To the police, it looked like a cycle waiting to repeat. >> Are you [ __ ] serious? You already [ __ ] put your hands on me. >> Yeah, I asked you out of the car multiple times. You refused to do so. >> You already put your hands on me. You already know. >> All right, let's go. >> [ __ ] you. Have a seat. We'll do it your way. Go ahead. Kick me. Get more a felony charge. >> I'm trying to get in here, [ __ ] >> Put your foot in. >> It's already in. >> You want me to give all your property to your mom? >> Excuse me. >> You mean give all your property to your mother? >> Can I talk to my mom? >> Probably not. >> So, what was the point? >> You want your property to go to your mom? >> What property? >> Property in your vehicle. >> Yes, absolutely. >> Okay. You don't have the key, right? >> It was running when I got here, but >> have the key. >> Just leave it open for now. >> I'll roll the window down. Give me just a second. [Music] There should be >> that's not in here. I'll keep looking. >> If not, it's somewhere in there. >> Okay, I'll find it. I'll see you in the morning. >> Don't worry about it. >> How's the key? How does the vehicle normally run? >> It's in the back pocket. Is that her purse? >> Yes, it is. Oh, >> okay. You understand why she's going to jail tonight? >> Because your guys are a bunch of dicks. >> Okay, hold on a second. I'm trying to explain it to you. You want to walk away? I can try to explain. >> Officers tried to reason with her, but mom refused to budge. Her defiance made everything worse. She stood firm in denial, more shocked that her daughter was being arrested than by the dangerous choices that put her there. >> Try to wake her up. She's obviously impaired. >> I try to get her out of the card DUI investigation. She refuses. So that's obstruction in the state of Florida. >> Neverh. >> Okay. Obviously, she's got a problem, >> correct? >> Um, no. >> Okay. She She lives here, doesn't she? She's never been intoxicated before. >> No. >> Okay. >> Not like that. >> Okay. Well, that's the reason if she'd got out of the car and she wouldn't had I would had to forcefully take her out of the car, she'd have voluntarily got out of the car like I asked. Gave her a lawful. >> All right. Go and step out for me. >> Why would I? cuz I'm asking you to. We're here. >> Does that mean something to me? >> You're You're under arrest right now. You want to step out for me? >> For what? >> Right now? Obstruction? Come on. >> Obstruction of what? >> Cuz I gave you a lawful order to get out of your vehicle and you refused. Come on. >> And for what? >> Come on. We'll talk about it. Come out here. >> No, I told you're being unreasonable. >> Why am I getting Why? >> Why? >> Come on. I'll explain everything to you out here. Come on. >> No. Why? Ma'am, you're in my police car. >> Don't [ __ ] Don't touch me. >> Ma'am, you're in my police car. Here's the thing. All right. I'm conducting a DUI investigation. Okay. >> I don't understand that. Do not talk to me. I'm going to request [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Okay. Nobody said that. I'm going to request you perform some field sobriety exercise. Are you willing to do that? >> Absolutely not. >> Okay. Do you understand? They can be used against you. That can be used against >> Absolutely. Yes. >> But you're not going to use that against me at all. >> Hold on. You understand that the refusal to do them, it can be used against you? >> I do. >> You understand that? >> Yes, sir. Okay. >> Please do not touch me. Please get your hands off of me right now. >> Please get your hands off of me right now. >> You're being arrested. Get out of the car. >> Please. >> You want to? >> Please do. >> Hold on. Come on. Calm down. >> No. Please do. Go for it. >> Go for what? Looks like you've urinated all over yourself, too. >> Yeah. You like that? >> No. >> Oh, God. >> You having a bad day? >> I'm a weirdo. weird. >> In the end, the woman was hauled off to jail, charged with DUI and resisting arrest without violence. The judge handed down 12 months of probation, mandatory DUI school, plus fines and court costs. From a mother's outrage at the side of a car to an entire family's arrogance slammed head first into the wall of justice on March 11th, 2023. What started as a simple landlord tenant dispute seemed like it might stop at angry words. But when the suspect suddenly threatened to kill someone during a 911 call, police had no choice but to step in. What happened next left everyone stunned. >> Thank you, >> man. Look, we trying to just get in our house. My uncle said he's going to get the lights over in my name cuz they ain't supposed to be on that pole there. They supposed to have their own pole. But she talking about, oh, y'all told us we we never told these mother they could turn our property in no goddamn trailer park. They wouldn't have turned into a damn camper place. So, we got here, our board, there was board on my damn door. You'll see it laying down over there. I snatched some off and went inside with my refrigerator and everything. But next week, the lights is going to be in my name or my aunt's name or papa's name, one of them's name. >> But we got to get them the hell out of here cuz I'm going to tell you, I ain't the I'll tell you exact words that I that I that I would I I would be hurt these. I'm [ __ ] too. I got a special ed diploma >> and I don't I don't put my tempers like that. you mess with me and my family. We're not out here bothering them. So, they need to stay back there in their camper as long as they going to be here and leave us the hell alone. >> And if they don't, I'm going to get me a damn gun and they're going to be >> They keep threatening to beat our asses >> and we ain't done nothing. >> Matt, can I talk to you in private, sir? >> Yep. >> Just calm down. >> Okay, so I got the uh we got the contract saying that we got the whole property for 2 years. They need to leave. They've already been threatening us. I've already given you guys plenty of evidence with all the threats >> and I don't want them here because >> May's Saturday >> and I'm going to try to have a good day and I don't want them here. >> They've already started a bunch of stuff talking about kicking her ass, >> putting hands on us. >> Who is >> uh the the boyfriend and he said it to a cop. >> And we at the house. >> We're going to the courthouse to get in. Okay. Not that one. It's this one. >> Oh, my husband's on the phone with the sheriff again. >> And he was talking to a sheriff when he said this stuff about beating my ass. >> Okay. It's not that one. Sorry. >> They sent me so many. >> The tenant statement revealed she'd endured this harassment for so long that she finally turned to the law for protection. Psychologically, repeated threats aren't just arguments. They're intimidation and bullying meant to control and spread fear. >> They're trying to touch my water well, which I paid for. They're trying to use our power, too. >> I get him. See, >> and that's him right there talking about he's going to us up. He's going to put hands on us. He's been threatening us almost every day. He calls us, say he's going to us up, burn our house down and everything. and burn down my RV. >> Do they do who owns the property? >> Uh, they own it, but we're renting it for 2 years. I already paid them upfront 2 years. I got a contract and everything. They're supposed to leave. They're not supposed to be on this property at all. >> Okay. >> It doesn't matter what the law says, what matters. And this is a law issue and they just innocent by >> Hey. Oh, give me just a second. All right. [Music] >> I will shoot somebody. >> Do what? >> Okay. Come on. >> Come on. For what? >> No, I'm not going to get locked up. >> Oh, yes, ma'am. You are. >> Well, I don't >> You can't threaten nobody. You can't threaten to shoot somebody. That is a threat. You are going to jail today. >> I don't even have a damn gun. >> I don't care. I don't have a gun. I'm not. >> Get up. >> Get up. >> I'm not getting I'm not going to jail today. >> Yes, you are. >> No, I'm not. >> You're going to get up. >> Threatening us when they came up. >> No, they wouldn't start. Come on. They wouldn't start it. Now you talking. >> They threaten us. You said to get up. >> No, I'm not. You are. Hey. No, I'm not. The >> people I own this place. >> Get up. I don't even even have a damn gun. >> It don't make a gun. It don't matter. >> They didn't hear me threaten them. >> I heard it. >> This camera heard it. >> The woman's refusal to cooperate confirmed what officers already suspected. At that point, the evidence was strong enough that an arrest was unavoidable. But then a man showed up out of nowhere, ratcheting the tension up another notch and pushing the situation into dangerous territory. >> Come on, man. >> Get up. >> Get up. Got it. It's not going to stop. >> Come on, honey. >> I'm going to tell you one more time. >> I'm getting at >> Honey, you can't say certain things. >> Well, I'm not I'm not going to hurt nobody. >> We But we don't know that. >> I I won't. I promise. Come on, sir. Don't do this. >> And my boys are here. Please don't. >> Y'all better watch them up for threaten us. >> Wash them up for threaten. >> They threaten us, >> man. They're the ones that Hey, >> listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. >> I understand you upset. Listen to me. I understand you upset. >> Back up. >> I know. >> Calm down and back up. Cuz we fitting to lock every damn body up. You understand what I'm telling you? >> I'm just trying to help my nephew and myself move back in. >> Do I need to get a bus out here and lock everybody on this property up? Cuz we got enough for this ordered house on you, you, you, and everybody that lives here. Do I need to do it? Y'all sure? >> Do I need to do it? >> No, sir. >> Okay. You can't threaten people with a gun. We got that established. I don't care what your age is. >> Sir, listen to me. I'm telling you. You You walk in that chalk line, pal. >> You walk in the chalk line. Walk off and calm down. Walk off and calm down. Last time I'm telling you, pal. Come here, pal. >> Step right here for me. Put your hands behind your back. >> What? I did it. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Man, I ain't done nothing, man. >> Unfortunat listen to me. Unfortunately, your 911 recording saying >> police classified the threats as criminal intimidation. The reason for arrest crystal clear. The 911 recording. That tape became undeniable proof. By laying out the evidence so transparently, officers showed a steady professionalism throughout the investigation. >> And otherwise, >> why are y'all taking? >> Because of what he said while you was on the phone with 911. >> Brother, I promise you I ain't going I promise you I ain't going to show. I promise you, man. >> Don't bother nobody. I promise. >> We ain't say The deal is, pal. >> You can't You can't say certain things to people. >> Okay. >> I know, man. And honors. Look, I I I know >> y'all y'all don't let us get out here and let us handle our dirt and do our job. And y'all apparently y'all not listening to what we're telling y'all cuz we've been telling y'all for the last >> I know. >> I know. Since February. >> I know. >> I know. We've been telling you since February to have them evicted and you told me out of your own mouth y'all haven't went and seen Ronnie. >> Okay. Going Monday. >> The deal is it's going to escalate to somebody really gets hurt. >> Yes. What? No, I ain't supposed to hurt nobody. That's why I call y'all. That's why I choose to call y'all. >> And I and I but I understand that. But for my wife, >> but when you when you start what whenever you say you going to beat somebody's ass and they take you for real and they jump on a I just let them hit me cuz I ain't going to hit no. >> But what if they say there's been threats made say y'all going to shoot me? Hang on. I said there has been >> just just like Was that your mother-in-law >> gun before whoever made that threat to start shooting? >> Exactly. >> Was that your mother-in-law or whoever that is? >> No, that's my auntie in the car. Now that's my mama she talked to on the phone, I think. >> What was your auntie's first thing she said when she come up here? >> I have no clue. I really wasn't here. I was with No, I was in the car with my >> No, you were standing right here. You and your wife were standing right here talking to me. >> Yeah, I heard what she said. I know what she said. >> I let it go. >> Then she goes over there and says it again. You know, you can't There's Look at all these cameras. her, man. We've tried to tell her you can't say stuff like that with a gun, >> right? But you also you can't you can't threaten people. >> Even after the arrest, the suspect's relatives stayed agitated, blaming others and trying to justify her actions. But as reality set in, her defiance turned to disappointment and helplessness behind bars. Meanwhile, officers stayed calm, working to reassure the rest of the shaken family. >> All right, let me explain to you like like I tried to explain to him. Okay, hang up the phone. Let's let Let us talk. Okay, >> because obviously the conversations, repeat the conversation of the deputies that's been out here for the past 8 months, y'all are not listening to them. Okay? [Music] >> Listen, he'll work with you. Ronnie Lewis work with you. Okay? >> But before it gets to the point where we're starting threatening to kill people and reason why he's locked up is the phone call that you made to 911. the threats that he made on a recorded 911 line. She's got it recorded. That's why he's locked up. I wasn't playing to none of y'all while ago when I told y'all there's more than enough to lock everybody in this yard up. Listen and let me talk, okay? >> There's more than enough to lock everybody in this yard up at this orderly house. It's getting to the point now you're y'all not listening to what our advice we're giving y'all. We try to handle as civil we can without us stepping in and getting involved. We don't want to step in. We don't want to do this. This is the last solution. But you can't you can't threaten people. Okay, that's that's now we out of the equation. >> Nobody. >> No, you're not in handcuffs, are you? >> No, >> he is and she is. >> She done it once in front of me in front of the camera and I let it go. She went over there and done it again. That's twice. All right. You're going to have to get that eviction notice. In the end, the suspects were booked on charges of disorderly conduct and terroristic threats after openly threatening to shoot someone on a recorded 911 call. Depending on local laws and the severity of the offense, that could mean prison time and heavy fines. If the police delivered one family a bitter dose of truth, then a broken heart opened up a brand new wound. [Music] On June 9th, 2023, police got a call about a woman threatening her ex-boyfriend. When they arrived, they found her drunk sitting inside her car. What seemed like a messy breakup quickly spun into something far more dangerous. >> 005924. What's the issue? >> I live here. >> She what? >> Who is she to you? She's your ex. What's the issue? What's that? >> Nothing. Why you Why are you here? You're intoxicated. >> No. >> Said your mother was driving and you were intoxicated. >> No. >> Isn't that what you just said? >> No. >> Okay. What did you say then? Okay.

I'm going to be completely honest with you. It's 4:07 in the morning. I am way too tired to be dealing with this nonsense right now. So, let's not make this any harder than it has to be.

You're not going to drive cuz you just told me you're intoxicated. 206 code 6. >> Yes. >> How are you going to get home? >> I'm not. >> Okay. Well, you're not staying here and you're not driving. >> Okay. >> So, how are you going to get home? >> I can make a call. >> Go ahead. Make a call. >> Are you going to arrest me?

I'm You're not driving it and you're not staying here. >> Your phone's right there. >> She says she has nobody to call. >> Where's your phone? >> Where's your mom at? >> She's at home with my daughter. But >> where's that at in Warren? >> No. 52. So, I'm just confused. Don't start the car. Don't start the car. >> Right from the start, the suspect showed zero cooperation, lying about where she lived and denying drug use. Officers grew more suspicious, but still tried to cool things down, giving her a chance to walk away from trouble. Instead, she pushed back harder, almost daring them to arrest her. >> Okay, open the car. You should have caught the police. >> Shut the car off. Don't be stupid. >> Try to reach around. Reach through the other side. No, the other side. >> Okay, >> it's in drive. B is locked. >> It is. >> Don't put it. >> Back up. Back up. I don't want you to get hurt. She's got the car in drive. Put the car in park. >> This is what you wanted. Put the car in park. >> No. >> He came here to damage my property.

Put it in park. Put the car in park and shut it off. Put it in park and shut it off. Shut the car off. Shut it off. Almost there. You're almost there. >> Shut it off and take the key out. >> This is ridiculous. >> Step out. >> Uh, pull me out of the community. [Music] >> Stop reaching. >> No, I don't. Step out of the >> me. >> She's reaching for something over there. I don't know what she wants. Step. >> Get out. >> Get out. >> Mr. Man, >> just pull her out of the car. Get out. Out. Ow. Ow. Is >> she biting you? >> No. She's kind of >> I'm not trying to do nothing. >> Get out of the car. >> Get out. When she fired up the engine and hit her hands, the danger became real, putting officers and bystanders at risk. When they stopped her, she exploded, even biting one of the officers. The struggle forced police to use every tool they had to bring her under control. >> Step out of the car. >> This is stupid. I can't. >> You should have the police on me. >> You want to come last time, right? And they can accusations out the plane like that. What you talking about? >> No. >> Get out. >> Get out of the car. >> What am I doing? Hey. Hey. I'm going to take I'm going to tase you. Get out. Get out. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> I don't want to do it. >> I didn't I don't want to fight a girl. >> Give me your other hand. >> Put your other hand back here.

Face me. Lean. Lean this way. Can you grab it? >> You ready? Drop it. >> Did you get it? >> Get your feet in there. >> Put your feet in the car. [Music] >> They tighten up. So, we're going to have to try. >> Yeah. >> Let me loosen those. >> Yeah. If you don't mind, double locking for me. So much more than what I want to do right now. >> You want to open up this door? I'll reach over that way. Ah, she's too. I'm going to have to go through that. >> Lean over. No, get back in there. I don't want to do. >> All right. Ready? >> It's so tight. >> Her please after the violent resistance sounded more like manipulation than regret. Still, the officers followed protocol, adjusting her cuffs to keep her safe. It was a balance of safety and humanity in the middle of chaos. >> Here in the car, >> I want to go home. >> Okay, going home. We don't have that choice. >> Please. >> Oh, here we go. >> Please go. Wait, please. I could go. >> We gave you that choice. >> No, please. >> You want to go on the other side? >> Please. Please. No. Please. >> Stop it. >> Stop it. >> Stop it. >> Please. Please. Please.

I want you to listen real good. >> You're going to You are going to go inside this building one way or another. I understand that, but I can't do this. >> Get out. You have no choice. Step out. >> Can you me then? >> No. Step out. >> No. >> Step out. >> No. >> Get out of the car. >> No. Leave me alone. >> Get out of the car. Let's go. >> 103 and 104 will be around. Jesus. >> Back at the station, she continued lashing out in desperation, even trying to grab an officer's magazine. That reckless act showed just how far gone she was. A danger not only to herself, but to everyone around her. >> He's off of me. >> I'm just checking. Are you still on? >> Oh, we got to put our guns in. Step out. >> Step out. >> Make sure you're affirmative a little bit ago. >> We can't We can't put our guns away. >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> How do you want us to put our guns away? She's got a hold of my magazine. She She's got his magazine. >> She got one of my magazine. Get off of me. >> Oh, you got a whole >> Get off of me. Why are you putting pressure on my neck? >> There's no neck pressure on your neck. >> Yes, there is.

Well, obviously I can't get off of me is what you want to do. >> So if you don't press the price, I'm going to do what you ask to do. >> Okay. But before any of that, move your t. >> Oh, that's what I thought. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Turn around. Don't push me. >> You're going to get lit up. You're not listening. I'm telling you right now, you're going to look down. >> No, I can't pull myself up if you're holding my arm. >> In the end, she was charged with DUI, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and possession of a dangerous weapon, a rock. Those charges carry possible jail time, heavy fines, and the loss of her driver's license. A shattered heart spiral into chaos and one woman pushed an entire police unit to the edge of their patients. On October 9th, 2024, police were called after a man reported that his ex-girlfriend had attacked him and refused to leave his home. What started out looking like just another messy breakup quickly escalated into a tense situation that demanded immediate police intervention. >> Two, three weeks she won't leave and now she she she jumped on me and so I called you guys. God getting tired of her physically hitting me and stuff like that. And then whenever I try to keep her off me, she makes it more of a problem. You know what I mean? So I just I I want her to go and I've been asking her to go and she just won't leave. >> Okay. >> She came over to to wash clothes and and and she never left. >> So So she just came over to wash clothes and you let her to wash clothes. She here to wash clothes and that's it. and and I've been asking her to leave and she just want >> she she has her own apartment >> out in Pensacola Village and I've been wanting her to just go home.

I just been standing out here talking [ __ ] because he's been talking [ __ ] to me. Yes, I have. >> Okay. He asked me to leave and I told him I am not leaving. I've been staying here for over 6 months. I told him if he want me to leave he can go to the courthouse and give me B [ __ ] for me and I will leave. My kids and if you want to look my kids and all of our stuff are up in here. He only want me to leave because he went to my phone and he found out about all of this is because he woke up and he found out I was talking to somebody else. >> Okay. >> But I told him if he want me to leave he can go to the courthouse. >> Why is he Why are you >> Is he saying you have a place in Pensacola Village? You know, I do have one in Pensacola Village, but it's it got mold all over the place. He know about that situation. It has mold all in my apartment in PCB and I can't stay I haven't been I can I can call PCB for you right now. I haven't stayed in my apartment in over 6 months. I've been here for over 6 months. I can show you pictures in this house from 6 months ago. I have no reason to lie. >> Okay. So, what is it agreement that you have that you're staying here? >> He's my baby daddy. We got two kids together. We've been together 9 years. While the man insisted there had been violence, the woman denied it, justifying her stay in the house. But once she admitted she actually had her own apartment, her story began to crumble. That detail backed up the man's claim that she had no legal right to be there in the first place. >> PCV and I pay it every month because me and him, we get into it a lot. And when we get into it, I go to my apartment. But I can't go to my apartment because it has mold everywhere. All in my kids clothes. When you pick the clothes up, I can take you to go look at it. >> Your mom's the owner. Is she on the on the lease? >> She's not on the lease. >> I'm I'm I'm on I'm I'm on the lease. >> He's told us >> I'm the only one on the lease. >> My sister's on the phone. He's came to us multiple times. He came today because he wanted to ride to work and I came out here. All the arguing proceeded and then it got worse because I guess I got out here cuz she thinks I'm picking sides. I'm one of the people I don't pick sides. I just >> I said the arguing. >> You don't have to start saying. >> So when did when did when did you have her come over here? >> Did you see what she did in my shirt? When did you have her come over here, man? >> It was only like maybe like a month ago, maybe. >> Okay. >> It ain't been very long. >> And she doesn't pay no bills. Doesn't do anything. >> All right. Look, grab your stuff. Get out. Get gone. You're gone. You're out. >> Get your stuff or you're going to jail for trespassing. >> Okay. >> I'm going to call my sister right now. >> You going to go to jail is what you going to do? No. >> Okay. I'll get my No. No. If you want to get my stuff, I've been here for 6 months. That's not fair. >> Stop talking. >> That's not how the law work. I know how the law works. >> I'm going explain it to you. You have no proof. One way or the other. I have the owner. >> What kind of proof you need? Just tell me what kind of owner. >> What kind of proof do you need? What kind of proof do you need? >> Show me what bills you pay. >> Okay. >> What you mean? His name is on everything. That's not what you pay. >> That's not fair. >> Okay. The owner says you're not even on lease. You ain't even supposed to be here. >> I'm not on the lease. >> You're not on lease. You already told me you have a place in Pensacola Village. What's going on with that? >> I can't go to Pensacola Village. I just know that. I just know that. Listen to me. >> That's not fair. Where am I going to take my kids? No, you're not listening because you're not a parent. Where am I going to take my kids? I can take you to PTV right now and show you my apartment. That's not fair. >> You need to calm yourself down. >> No, because I'm mad. How you going to tell me to calm down? You don't know what I've been through this morning. >> At this point, the cracks in her story became obvious. The man, whose name was the only one on the lease, offered the more credible testimony. Cornered, the woman shifted from defensive to combative, trying to win back control with emotional tactics. >> I'm hearing something different from somebody else, two other people. >> She just said that I've been here for months. >> No, she didn't say months. She said maybe a month. Now, >> so Ernest, how many months have I been here? >> How many months? >> It doesn't even matter how many months you've been here. You don't reside here. >> Okay. >> You don't pay any bills. You have no sergeant, please. >> One way or the other, you want to make a complaint, you can go downtown. >> Can I talk to a >> Yeah, you can make You can talk to a sergeant when you leave the property. >> This what she did to me. >> I told her I told her I wanted her to leave. She grabbed me and she started punching me in my face. I mean, that's And that happened. That's and then that's when I called you. I didn't call like >> when I was out here, he tried his keys to her. She swings on. She didn't connect. >> She didn't hit me. Then she swung on him. She swung on >> and then I I got to get the keys. >> So you saw this? >> I saw her swing on him. Didn't connect. He was he was in her pocket like this. He wasn't pulling her, grabbing her, snatching her, nothing. He was in her pocket trying to get the keys because >> there's one key for the whole house. at that house. There's a whole you see it what's in the house. It's antiques and stuff. >> I got you. >> So he was trying to get the key and he she said, "Get up." She did this. She said, "Get up off me." And she said and then me and her got into an argument and she act like she wanted to fight me. I said I I showed them a cop. >> Okay. >> No. No. You got to tell me what you arrested me for. >> What did I do? >> I did not hit Wait, wait, wait. I did not hit him. Ernest, tell him. Tell them I didn't hit you. Please, Ernest. Please my kids. Please tell them the truth. Tell them the truth. Listen. Listen to God. Please listen. >> Tell the truth, baby. Please. Okay. I'll put my head behind my back. Y'all got to listen. Y'all can't take me to jail for nothing. Y'all got to look at the evidence in the house. My radio. >> Y'all got to listen. I'm going to I'm sorry. I'm trying to talk to y'all. Please. We're past that. >> But y'all, I'm just to show y'all proof. Y'all can't take me to jail for no reason. I did not touch him. All I did was grab his shirt, sir. >> Based on witness statements and her aggressive behavior on scene, officers had no choice but to cuff her. She denied hitting him, but admitted to grabbing his shirt, an act still considered assault. That single admission unraveled her entire defense. >> I can show you the glass and show you where it happened. >> I looked for the glass. I didn't see it. >> Come on. He He He swept up, y'all. Please. Can I show you? Please don't. >> I got a witness. You're clearly the primary aggressor because you are severely >> standing out here yelling. That's all. That's all. But y'all, I promise I did not hit him. I'm telling the truth. >> Look, I'm trying to >> I need >> I'm trying to loosen up these cuffs. >> I need y'all to go back and talk to him. I did not hit him. >> Nope. We're done. We're done, >> y'all. I did not hitch him. Y'all have to listen. >> You can explain that in court. >> No, but listen. I can't go to jail for nothing. I got to start work. Please, I have to start work tomorrow. Pass. >> Ernest, please. Please, Ernest. >> Ernest, please tell them the truth. >> I am. I did tell him the truth. >> But tell him about the glass. Tell him about the face. >> Okay. He just said he broke the glass. >> He He told me he told >> He did broke the glass. >> Tell me he broke. >> But that's how it happened, y'all. I didn't hit him. >> But y'all, that's how it happened. My phone, y'all. My phone. But sir, can you please listen? Oh, I promise I did not hit him. Can you please >> I've been listening this whole time. Okay. >> I did not hear him. Please. >> Listen, y'all. Please. Y'all got >> She spiraled between desperation and denial, begging over and over, even when her words no longer carried weight. It was the breakdown of dialogue. Proof that all her attempts to argue her way out had collapsed, leaving her powerless. >> Listening to me. Y'all taking me to jail for y'all look up the past. >> Can y'all look up the report to charge with resistance? >> No, I know. I just want y'all to listen to me. I want y'all to listen to me. >> Can y'all please listen to me? >> Get in the car.

I'm asking y'all to look up the past report. Sir, please don't be mean to me. I'm trying to talk to you. Please, please let me tell you the truth. >> But your godamn listen to me. >> I don't want to listen to you. I don't want to talk to you. I want you to stop. I have enough problems to go. That is what you're going to do. But you're not listen. He just tried to take my kids. Please. He did this before. Y'all got to go look at the report. Please go look at the report. Please don't look at the report. Please, I wouldn't let you choke me if I wasn't. I'm >> not trying to choke you.

Please, please, please look up the reports, y'all. Y'all, please look up the reports. Please, y'all, look up the reports. Please, please, Lord. Please, mister. Please look up the reports. He did this before. You laughing? In the end, she was booked on charges of domestic battery and resisting arrest. The sentence could mean jail time, fines, probation, or mandatory domestic violence counseling, depending on state law and how serious the offense is judged. Arrogance provokes the wrath of justice while toxic love turns into chains that trap everyone involved. On July 24th, 2023, one call brought police racing to the scene. A woman had threatened to fake an injury to get her boyfriend, already on probation, thrown in jail. When she refused to get out of the car, the standoff began, forcing officers to tread carefully. >> Whatever. Um, she's been giving her new boyfriend a heck of a time for the last couple days. Um, she wouldn't let him leave the house where they stayed at and he actually tried to he went to go out and she was stopping and they got in a little thing at the door and she cut her finger on the door, whatever. Now she's swearing that when the cops come, she's going to blame it on him and have him go to jail. me go to jail and everybody's going to jail and she just will not get out of his truck so he can go. >> I'm on probation, sir, and I'm trying to gain stuff. So everything that I've been doing, I'm trying to stay above the law and do my do my part. So he brought I told him to bring her here because of what she's doing. As soon as she got here, she walked in the garage, started on her mom, which is who she's arguing with now. Called him and I straight up told him, "You're not going to disrespect him like that. That's just wrong. Regardless of what's going on, she won't listen. I told her leave, but then he wants to go. He don't want to take a pocket with him, but she won't go to jail for something. >> Stepfather, the mom's right here. >> Hey. Hey. So, do you need to see the like the video of when we came over here? All this stuff like that. >> Where do y'all live? >> Huh? >> Where do y'all live? I live in uh Harold. >> Okay. So, you don't live here? >> No. >> No, I live here. They live in Harold. >> Huh? >> They live in Herald. >> So, you and I live in >> What's your daughter's stepdaughter's name? >> Crystal. >> Crystal. So, you and you and Crystal live in Herold together. And your mom? >> Yes. I'm the mother. >> And your name is >> Yes, I'm the mother. >> Do I have to give that to? >> Uh, if you don't give that, you will go to jail cuz you're on probation. Yes, sir. >> So, let's not start that. >> Oh, no. I'm not asking like that. I'm just asking, do I have to? So, that's >> See, I don't want nothing. It's none of my business. Hey, I get it. >> Okay, I get it. >> Instead of jumping straight into confrontation, officers listened to witnesses, her boyfriend and his stepfather to piece together the bigger picture. The boyfriend's helplessness, turning to her own family for a way out, became one of the most telling and heartbreaking details in this case. >> She's sitting in the back of the truck. >> I'm trying to calm her down. >> Okay, >> it's what the issue is. >> Why? Why did they show up here today? because >> he called me and wanted me to try to talk to her to calm her down. >> Okay. >> So, I tried. Well, she disrespected me and I told him to leave, take her with I didn't want her here. >> So, they It's his mom's house. So, they brought her back. >> So, do y'all all So, do you two live here with her? >> Yes. Okay. >> I just don't want her going to jail. This ain't the way it's supposed to go. And I'm not supposed to be in none of this. >> All she wants to do is go back to his house. What's your name? >> Crystal. Crystal, >> Crystal, listen to me. Hello. Can you see me? >> See, >> sit down for me, please. Just sit down. >> That's why I didn't want to be in none of this. >> What John was talking about? >> I brought over here to see your mom because I asked my mom to ask her to please talk to her. Mom's trying to talk to her >> and she's just belligerent with mom and and mom just said, "Hey, she's got to go." So, you know, that's that's just >> I'm sorry. You want to listen to me or you going to talk to the top of me? I'm sorry. Blocking your path >> for me to leave my house. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, right now, she ain't going to leave because we're here investigating something. Once we determine what's going on, if it was a crime or not, then we'll get to that point. Okay. So, right now, everybody needs to take a breath and calm down. >> Hey, Miss Crystal. >> Am I going to jail? >> I don't know. You ain't handcuffed, are you? >> I don't know. We got to We got to talk to you. I just want to take me out. >> I I don't know. Just take a breath. [Music] >> Well, I'm here to help you. >> As soon as police approached, she resisted, refusing to cooperate. Tensions escalated when she argued openly with her own mother, exposing deep fractures in the family. That clash showed not just defiance, but long-standing conflict running through her home life. All right. Get the out. >> Okay. It's really hot up there. I care. That's why I want to say nothing. You said you have marks on you. >> Do I have marks on you? >> I don't know. I'm asking and I don't know cuz I show you my fingers if you want to do this. >> I would love to see that but I can't see it from up there. >> I'm like doing that cuz he's on probation too. I'm like I'm on probation. >> But I need to go to jail, right? I need to go to jail. >> Crystal, what's your last name? Crystal. >> Don't have one. You don't have one. What's your middle name? >> What? >> What's your date of birth? >> Okay. >> What's your first name? >> I don't know. >> What day is it? You don't know who's president. Here's what's going to happen. We're trying to be nice to you. >> Get headache medicine. If they turned on me, everything turned on me. Your >> phone's going to fall out your back pocket. My address. If you just take me home, I'll get the out. I'm 67. >> Will you stand here and try to talk to her while I talk to him? We're probably at least going to go 44 on her. Um but however, right now she's failing to identify. We can't identify her and she's still failing to identify. We'll at least do a 44 if nothing else. Okay, come here. She won't even answer my question. So, >> go to jail for failure to cooperate if she's on probation. >> Oh, is she on Go ahead and run her name. See if she's on probation cuz we're probably going to have a resisting anyway. More than likely. >> Yes. >> Yeah. If she don't get down on her own, we're ripping her down. >> Crystal, >> the person. >> Why? Because that shouldn't be no reason for me going to jail. >> You're back. >> At first, officers tried patience. open-ended questions, offers of help, giving her every chance to comply. But her defiance dragged on until they had no choice but to move in. Once force was used, she fought back harder, making the situation volatile and increasingly dangerous. >> Leave me alone. >> Perfect. Hey, get her stuff out of her pocket real quick. >> Stay right there. Don't move. >> I don't see anything. I don't take that out of her hand. >> Jesus, bro. Let me sit down. Stop. >> There's nothing else on me. Double lock those. >> Don't lie to me. Y'all lie to me. >> Please stand right there. >> Yeah, please. I beating bird. >> Stop moving. >> Stand right there and stop it. You are not moving until I tell you you're able to. Now stand there. There's nothing else in my pocket. >> I'm double checking to make sure. >> Now you can sit down. >> Hey, what are you doing? >> Please get my shoes. >> I got your shoes. >> I need them on. Can I [ __ ] up? >> Well, you're going to have to take them off when you get to jail >> because I'm going to jail for real. >> Yeah, you're going to jail for real. What reason? What the [ __ ] >> Well, you should have cooperated more with us. >> What the did I do? >> After the cuffs went on, her emotional collapse was clear. Yet, instead of remorse, she lashed out, blaming others, denying responsibility. Her shock at learning she'd actually be going to jail showed just how naive and out of touch she was about the seriousness of her actions. >> Tammy. Yeah. >> You're Tammy? >> Yes. >> Yeah. She has some of your pills in her purse. She's got one of your pill bottles in her purse. >> Yeah. >> Do you want to charge her for it? >> No, sir. I just want to take them and I'll flush them. I ain't charging her. >> Take her. >> Okay. Okay. So, right now she is going to jail for resisting, which in turn will more than likely violate her probation, but she should have cooperated. The jail is also re receiving facility, so she can get any type of meal mental help whatever there at the jail. Um, that's where we are right now. She will get a bond. Um, however, more than likely as soon as she gets charged, P her PO is going to go ahead and violate her. So, she won't have a no bond until first appearance, which would be tomorrow. As long as PO goes ahead and violates her. Probably will cuz I'm probably going to go ahead and try to contact PO. So, once she sees first appearance judge, first appearance judge be like, "Yeah, you get a bond." No, you don't. So, y'all know how that goes. So, okay. Any more questions for me? >> Thank you, man. >> Absolutely. >> Y'all have a good day. Please look at my young abuse me. Really? >> You ain't under arrest for that. >> What the am I under arrest for when I got rocks all over me? >> Because I asked you your name. You did not provide it. >> My >> because we asked you to get down out of the truck and you did not. [Applause] So, you go into jail for resisting, which is in turn going to violate your probation cuz I'm going to contact your probation officer as well, so they're aware. >> Please don't do this to me. Please, I lied to you. >> In the end, she was booked on charges of resisting arrest and failing to obey lawful orders. But because she was already on probation, these offenses meant a violation and likely prison time, depending on the court's ruling. If toxicity can rot love from the inside out, then betrayal shatters a family on the very day that should have been sacred. On May 14th, 2023, police were called after a witness reported a violent assault. A woman was said to have attacked her boyfriend and his truck with a hammer after discovering he'd been cheating. The situation escalated faster than anyone expected. Okay. Well, we got a call that you came after. >> The girl called. He never called. I didn't call. >> Okay. So, why are you >> Somebody from the apartment complex called and said that >> I don't even live there. No, that's my boyfriend. I'm pregnant. >> Okay. But they're saying that you were refusing to let him leave. That you had a hammer at one point and either hit the truck or the the mail. >> I know what you're talking about. I don't I know something about >> Okay. Do you have your ID on you? What's >> going on? Well, I was mad about something. >> It's my birthday. >> It's your birthday and she's doing this. >> It is your birthday. >> Yeah. >> She mad that people take me quick. >> Okay. So, she's being jealous. I'm going to guess another woman probably paid you some attention. >> Huh? >> So, y'all get to kill a fight once you >> Yes, sir. I didn't. >> Okay. >> No. No. A verbal fight. >> Yes, sir. >> How many times you slap him? >> You got a cut on your face? >> This one last night. I was up. That looks fresh to me. >> Yeah, it looks like a fresh scratch. Probably from a >> I wasn't texting him. He said to his house. What's go I don't understand. You can call. I can call. I don't >> Okay. You're saying that you have his location, correct? >> And he lied to you about where he was at? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, what happened after that? >> I pulled up his I took a picture of his car from my back. >> And then what happened? >> He got in his car and drove off. >> Okay. Okay. So, why are you following him? >> Cuz I mean, we about to go to the same location. >> Yeah, but you're driving erratically from him. >> I'm not driving erratically. >> When we got other callers saying >> came this way, I see you. You was coming from this way. So, how do you say I was driving? >> We've got other callers saying that you were driving erratically. >> One person that called. I know the person that called. She's a sheriff. That's why she called. >> Who is she to you? >> That's my um girlfriend. >> She's your girlfriend. How long you guys been dating? >> She's pregnant? >> Yes, sir. >> She's pregnant now. Do you you guys have kids? >> Yes, we got one together. >> You guys have one child together? Okay. So, this is what constitutes a domestic relationship, right? >> We got a call about her coming at you with a hammer. >> Yeah. >> That's aggravated assault. >> No, no, no. >> That's serious. >> No, no, I I didn't see no hammer. I got in my truck. >> Well, we got a witness. >> No, me and her was going back to the office. >> Yeah, but you guys were at Cross Creek. >> No, but I didn't see a hammer >> just now. >> No, I didn't see a hammer. Oh, you didn't. You may have not have seen the hammer, but a hammer was pulled. >> Neither side wanted to cooperate, and that made officers suspicious. The scratches on the man's body were undeniable physical evidence, contradicting his own version of events that forced police to seek out an independent witness, piecing together a fuller, more accurate picture of what had really happened. >> Who's this second uh gentleman here? >> I have no idea. >> Six. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. You guys are wearing like the exact same clothes. I was like, who's this guy coming back here looking like your twin? >> Why is he got his hands on his head like that? >> I guess you don't want to walk up. >> Too easy. >> I guess you guys live nearby. >> Yes, sir. I stay right on the wall for you. >> Right here. >> Over the fog line for me, buddy. >> You just want to have I'm right here. >> She took a picture of his tag and vehicle was like, "You're here. Come outside and talk." And apparently they came outside and talk and she wasn't chasing him. She was following him because they go they live together apparently. >> He has a fresh scratch face on his >> What's up, my man? >> How much? Another Sunday afternoon. >> Pretty day, but it's my birthday, >> man. Sorry about that. How old are you? >> 30. >> 30. >> Dirty. >> Dirty 30. I got you. >> Know what's going on with her? >> I don't know. We're trying to figure out, man. >> You're welcome to listen. I don't care. But what's going on today? Um, I explained to you that I seen his location and he was supposed to meet me to bring me a Mother's Day gift. Okay. >> So, I've been waiting on him for like 2 hours or whatever. The last conversation we had was >> he said, "Send me my location." Okay. So, >> see what uh he's asking for 44. Find out what's going on. >> I'm sorry this happened to you, Miss Happy birthday. >> I don't want anybody. >> Yeah. All right. Go ahead. >> Um, pull it up. Tell him come outside. I mean, he came outside. Of course, I always went busting at him, but never try to hit nobody with a hammer. I don't even have one. >> Never what? >> Try to He said, "I try to hit him with a hammer, right?" >> The man claimed it was nothing but an argument that no hammer was ever involved, but the marks on his face and neck told another story. At the same time, the woman's conflicting statements chipped away at whatever sympathy she might have had, leaving behind the sense that this was far more complicated than it first appeared. >> My nails are broken. >> Where did this come from? That's scratched. >> I scratched myself. >> You're not asking. I said, "Where'd it come from?" >> I scr let me hang up on y'all. And me and my cousin was wrestling cuz she was trying to get me back in the park. >> Is this your brother? >> It's my twin brother. >> Your twin brother? Okay. She dropped it off here. >> How long you guys been living together? >> About a year. >> A year. Okay. This may just be a weird misunderstanding with a witness seeing you guys have a verbal argument. It's your birthday. Your lady's getting upset that people are wishing you happy birthday, which is pretty uh pretty messed up. What were you guys doing there at Cross Creek? >> Uh uh with >> you guys were out with a friend? >> Uh my uh brother stay out here. >> Your brother stays at Cross Creek. >> Okay. like isn't >> maybe the devil said he may want to make the call. >> I I don't know if he was I don't know. >> He was a good son. >> Okay. No, it sounds like you could have a great brother. >> Are you guys getting married or engaged? >> We engaged. >> Okay. Now, it sounds like she's got a lot of uh trust issues. >> No, her has a lot of trust issues. Get getting upset about other people wishing happy birthday on social media. >> Hey, this is Officer Rogers with Asalt County Police Department. >> Hey, what's going on? Hey. Um, so I know you told my dispatch that you don't want to give your name and anything like that and that's that's cool, whatever, but can you explain to me what you saw outside? >> Well, I was coming in my I live on, >> right? >> Um, so I was able to visually see like basically like there was a toss up between a hammer between two girls. I'm like, okay, what is that about? So when it happening, the girl like loses from the other from another p the other girl and tries to hammer the the truck, right? 250. Roger. >> F150. So, she tried to use a hammer to destroy his truck. The guy comes out of his house and hey, like trying to back her off from the truck and she tries to hit him. When she attempt to hit him, she grabs her to try to take the hammer out of her hand and from not her from not like letting her to hit him. So, they're arguing, fighting there, going back and forth. dispatch. >> He tries to he gets in his truck and tries to leave and she's blocking him with she has like a she had like a silver >> An independent witness revealed the true level of violence, helping officers cut through the lies when neither side was being straight. The woman still denied swinging a hammer until she realized the police already had that testimony. Then she changed her story, scrambling to dodge the consequences. >> Supposed to meet her 2 hours ago to give her her Mother's Day gift and you never showed up. >> Yeah, I got to report. Yeah, but you never said it because you was kicking it with another girl and she had to find you by location. Come on, bro. >> So that's why she pulled a hammer on you, which I don't know if I can't hold her. >> She would surprise you that she's meant to. So >> no problem. >> I I get that, but tell me tell me what >> I'm seeing if you're going to tell the truth like she's telling the truth. What's this with that hammer? >> Well, we have multiple witnesses called in. officers talk to her right now where she is welding a hammer trying to hit you with >> So you're you're going to play this game where man I ain't see nothing even when like I said if she's telling me she did it come on dude and I got in my car she said go home [Music] my >> you're going to be the one that's going to get for lying during investigation >> no I smoke I didn't I'm telling you what I saw I did not I'm telling her I can't fight. I'm pregnant. Who cares? Is that a is >> No, it's got to be I'm going to come over there and I'm going to beat you. >> Oh, okay. >> Or like right in front of you. Like I have to say I'm I'm about to do it. That's simp like simple assault. It changes between simple assault and terrorist threats and acts like misdemeanor a felony. Like okay, I'm about to stab you in your face as terrorist and threats cuz I'm right here with a knife or like right here. Right. >> You got to have like you have to be afraid like legitimately afraid that it's going to happen. They have to have the means to be able to do it. >> And she busted in the door. >> How cooperative everybody is. Where's this hammer where it was being wielded? >> A hammer? >> Yeah. >> I don't have a hammer. >> All right. Well, he's talking to witnesses right now. Said you're swinging a hammer. Would it surprise you if he said you're swinging a hammer? So >> So I swung the hammer on him. That's what he said. >> That's what I'm asking you. >> No, I didn't. I put this on my kid. >> Okay. So, if I tow your vehicle and get a warrant to search this car tomorrow, >> it's not my car. >> It don't matter. You were in it. Were you guys twins? >> Yes. It's my birthday. >> Both of your birthdays. Happy birthday. >> I do look alike. He told me y'all were twins. I had to come verify. No. No. >> Y'all wearing the same shirt was a dead giveaway. And then I'm like, wait a minute. >> Yeah. If I tow this vehicle to get a search warrant to search it tomorrow, >> it's going to be a lot easier if you just tell me where the hammer is. And that shows me some cooperation. >> My that my cousin has the hammer. I don't have it. >> Okay. So, who bought >> she? It was her is her hammer. >> Okay. Where is in the impala? >> Huh? >> It's in the Impala. >> Yeah, she's already home. >> Only after hearing that a witness had seen the hammer and that the woman had admitted to having one did the man react, begging police not to arrest her. Officers made it clear that lying to investigators would only dig him a deeper hole. In truth, this was classic investigative deception, a strategy often used to push the truth out into the open. The hammer that they saying I had. I don't have it. >> I did not. It's I just told him where you have to tell him where it was at. >> Yeah. >> Did I say I had it? >> No. You said it was in the impala. >> Exactly. I was trying to get it. >> You were trying to get it from her. >> From her. >> Was for I don't know why she I don't know. >> What was she doing with it? >> She had I got they just bounded the TV. So we just They just moved. >> Yep. Roger. >> Hold on. They going to lock me up. I'll take that for you. You want to take this with me? >> No. Yeah. No, no, no. Call back.

Tell him to drive it. Well, unfortunately, she's going to jail tonight. >> For aggravated assault, most likely. >> Who's going to jail? >> She is aggravated assault. >> Yeah, coming out of somebody with a hammer's aggravated assault. We got witness. Witness? >> Oh, call my mama. >> Oh, mama. >> This is crazy. I'm getting locked up. I didn't even touch my car. I never even jet ever in my life. >> Hello. >> Is there anything out of the vehicle you want to take with you? >> Yeah, my purse. >> Let me grab it for you. >> Mom. >> Mom, I got you.

You got anything in there that's going to get you in trouble? >> In there. >> In there. >> No. >> Any guns or battery? Anything in there? >> We don't want you catching any extra charges. >> No, I don't do nothing. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Didn't he say he going to drive the car? >> He will. He uh >> your boyfriend, baby daddy wants to know if you want to talk to him. He wants to talk to you. >> I mean, I don't want to talk to him if I'm getting assaulted. >> Fair enough. Fair enough. In the end, the woman was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated assault, and reckless driving. If convicted, she could face up to 3 years in prison, fines of up to $1,000, community service, and a loss of her firearm rights. On January 30th, 2025 in Ohio, police responded to a call about a woman sitting in the lobby of an apartment building, shouting at and threatening her neighbors. It didn't take long to ID her, Amanda. And here's what went down when officers showed up. >> Jimmy. >> Yeah. >> All right. Tag, you guys are it. I just went up to the apartment there. >> Yeah. Well, I tried to I seen you walking and I tried to help him get down to to catch you. See not do that, but that's my daughter, Amanda. >> And she's the one that >> she threatened. >> Okay. What happened? >> So, I came down. Sometimes I come here and I'll vacuum for my dad >> and she was sitting over here on the couch and I came down here with some people live across the street or across the street across the hallway from him. He was like >> um she brought up my son of course I got I didn't do nothing but I just obviously get frustrated. You're talking about my kid. Yeah. >> If I didn't say nothing then Terry was like Amanda just call the cops. So I didn't say she was in my face like yelling. It was probably went it didn't last very long. maybe 3 or 4 minutes. But I mean >> I thought for sure she I thought for sure she was going to hit me and she was like yeah >> um there's >> but I looked at the time it was like 6:20 >> or 6:22. I don't know if you guys >> and she said for you guys to be sure that Ron >> gets the report and sends it to her. >> Okay. >> Because see they evicted her but she will not leave for >> Yeah. Because before and I don't know what made her quit taking them before she went in there. She just as sweet as could be. Her and her friends would go to church together shopping and everything. >> And guess all of a sudden, man, she went crazy. >> I'm sorry. >> It's just maybe something just snapped up. >> It's the medicine. The medicine. She hears voices and stuff that tells her to do this or that. >> Yeah. Schizophrenia. >> Yeah. And it's sad. I feel I feel sorry for her. >> So, unfortunately, once we get the eviction process going and and that's complete, then obviously she's going to be out of here. Yeah, >> but I don't know if she'll answer the door or not, but I go to whirl, see what happens. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's why that's why I told the I was the guy I was talking to on the phone and I Well, I said I'm sure your officers know where she is. >> I said they've been there hunt many times and stuff. >> Yeah. >> And >> 105, right? >> Yeah, I think it is 105 106. >> Yeah. >> It's down there where where you see all the stuff on the door, the Christian stuff. Mhm. I think it's the next apartment, man. >> Okay. >> A calm witness told police Amanda wasn't just screaming profanities. She got right up in people's faces, flailing a towel, and shrieking at her son like she'd completely lost it. That kind of behavior, it falls squarely under disorderly conduct under Ohio law. [Applause] Is that son? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Hello. >> Hey, Sonia. You want everything going okay with you? >> Yeah, you can come in. >> Okay. that there's some kind of issue with a not really a tenant, but >> you can come in. I'm rearranging my bathroom. >> Okay. >> I'm going to put this bookshelf and my bathroom. This bookshelf, all these books are going in that thing there. >> Okay. >> And then come here, I'll show you. See all these things in here? So, these here cabinets, I'm taking these out. >> Mhm. >> And I'm putting that or going in here. Would you have any issues with a the daughter of a tenant here? Like any you yell at anybody or they yell at you or anything? >> No, I donated a tree down there. >> Okay. >> Um I donated does um I'll show you. >> Well, here. Come back here. Sonia, here. I still got a couple questions for you. >> But anyhow, I uh I >> Hey, real quick. What's your social security number? >> Um anyhow, >> I'm in the middle of moving this bookshelf. Watch out, honey. I'm moving this bookshelf. Um, on these books, this bookshelf is going to go >> Yeah, >> this bookshelf is going in there. >> Well, so, uh, the issue I have is you actually have a warrant for your arrest for disorderly conduct. It was FTA for >> apparently you were cited I think a few weeks ago or so, and I'm guessing you just didn't show up to your court date. So, I'm going to have to take you in the station, get that stuff squed away. So, you got a jacket and some shoes. >> I'm not going in the station for what? >> Uh, you have active warrant for your arrest. So, you're have to go with me. So, if you want to try and find some shoes to try and help you out, but as far as moving the bookshelf and everything else, you got to stop. >> Digging through resident records, officers found that Amanda had a history of disruptive behavior, likely tied to skipping her psychiatric meds. Now, that doesn't get her off the hook legally, but it does open the door to a mandatory psych evaluation during the court process. >> Give me a minute, dude. [ __ ] man. The hell am I under arrest for? >> You have a warrant for your arrest. You didn't go to a court date. >> So I'm going to jail. >> Yes. >> To jail. Jail. >> To jail. Jail. Yes. >> Like you're not taking my clothes or nothing, right? >> No. So I need you to stop what you're doing right now. Okay. Listen to me. >> Handcuffs. >> Yes. So listen to me. Okay. You need to find some shoes. Okay. And they're going to end up taking that jewelry. So if you just want to leave it here, that's cool. >> I'm not going to a psych word, dude. You're not going to a psychord. You're going to Ros jail. Okay. >> Then you have court in the morning. So let's >> [ __ ] I'm just mind goddamn business. [Applause] >> Sock's cool. >> Yeah. >> So you go before a judge and I mean more than likely probably release you. >> Got to make sure that's off. >> Yep. >> Okay. This is off. >> Stove's off and all that stuff. I got to make sure. >> Then a coffee pot. >> Is it off or still going? >> I got to make sure everything's off. >> Okay. >> Um I got to put this in my room because I I stay in it. I have feet problems and sometimes I'm in a wheelchair. >> Okay. The the room we just came out of. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Cuz I have I have feet problems. >> Yeah. >> On my right foot. I use the wheelchair sometimes like quite a bit because I have sugar issues. Um, I'm low sugar insulin resistant diabetic. >> Okay. >> So, every 2 hours I need sugar >> and I have medication. Um, the medication. >> When the cops got there, Amanda welcomed them in like they were there to help her clean the house. The officer didn't push. He just let her come around on her own. And it worked. She started to settle down. It was one of those rare human moments. Thanks to a cop who showed real patience, kindness, and professionalism. >> My heart. >> You have insulin as well or is just the medications here? >> I just need um my ID, right? >> You don't need that. Like it works. Here's money. >> They won't need the money. This is >> There's a little bracelet in the pan. Hey, can I put my Bible book in there? >> Wait. So, you're not going to be allowed to have the stuff with you. >> How about just one Bible book? >> Okay. >> Just one Bible book. >> Yeah. There you go. >> Done. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh, which one's the apartment key, Sonia? You want the gold one or the silver? >> Gold one. >> Okay. Eating healthy is hard. >> Is my coffee cut off? >> Yeah, you unplugged it. >> My TV can stay on. >> Okay. >> It'll go off after 3 hours anyhow. >> Oh, well, there's a remote on the TV. >> 90% of customers. >> Uh, that's a phone. >> Throw these in there. So, as soon as I get out, they can get >> Yeah, we'll throw them in there. Can I take my night medicine while I'm doing it? >> Yeah, it's in here. >> Yeah. >> And then you'll be good on medication for how long? >> Until morning. >> Okay. >> So, I already took my Thursday evening. So, I take my Thursday night and every 2 hours I go do sugar low. So, I I have to have um sugar every 2 hours. And this is my medication. >> Okay. The officer handled it with real finesse, gave Amanda space to collect herself, lowered the tension, and made the whole thing safer for everyone involved. Her confusion, it was clear she didn't understand the legal process at all. A common challenge for folks with a mental health history. >> My hair looks a mess. >> Well, I've seen worse. Will they let me keep my chopstick? >> Uh, it'll be in your It'll be in your property that's logged, but you won't necessarily have quick access to it. >> I can see better out of my black glasses. Sorry. >> Oh, you're fine. >> I don't know how I got these ones. >> See, my black glasses I can see better out of. >> Okay, that works. Anyhow, >> okay. >> Thank you. >> Yep. No problem. All right. So, we got all your stuff loaded up in the bag and I got your house keys. So, we'll get that locked as we go outside. So, towards the door. I'll grab your bag and I'll get everything locked up. The door for you. Be right behind you. It's going to step on out for me. This way right there. gold key, right? >> Gold key. >> That was it. That way you can see it's pretty dark back here. >> Yeah, I got you on. So, it's lift up your left leg [Music] >> and then sometimes if you can kind of rotate your shoulders either left or right, it'll take some of the pressure off of your wrists. >> Okay, I'm good. >> Okay, we'll get you down there and get you out of cuffs here in just a second. >> All right, thank you. >> Yep. >> Um, my excess skin. >> Oh, okay. >> I have a flat skin. >> Yeah. >> Losing weight. >> So, I have excess skin. Um, see through my pants? >> Uh, the like the pink purple color on your pants. Is that what you're talking about? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Maybe it's Kool-Aid. >> Oh, that's Kool-Aid. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Gosh. I was like, I don't think blood supposed to be. >> In the end, she was taken into custody, booked on an outstanding warrant, and for disorderly conduct. If convicted, she might face a short stint in jail or more likely be ordered into counseling, especially considering her mental health background. So, what happens when a woman turns on her own boss? Let's just say things spiral fast. On April 18th, 2024 in Castlebury, Florida, police showed up after getting a call about a heated argument at a local business. A female employee after finishing her morning shift stuck around, had a few drinks, and ended up in a loud confrontation with the bar owner.

He's being a piece of >> From the moment she stepped outside, it was clear to the officers she was drunk. Her speech was all over the place. Her body language screamed intoxicated, but she kept insisting it's no big deal. Still, the more they talked to her, the more something felt off. >> I can drive. >> No one's No one's having a fight or anything. >> You want to speak to the owner? >> I If you tell me it's okay and >> I'm okay with it. >> The only thing is like if the owner will take advantage of me, I will let you know. >> Okay.

But too, I don't know. >> Both the bar owner and the police told her firmly it was time to go. And they weren't just being polite, they were drawing a clear line. She needed to leave before things escalated, especially given her unstable state. It was a warning wrapped in professionalism. >> Yeah, you were tomorrow.

Choose aggression over reason. Thankfully, the police got there in time to keep things from going completely sideways. Put your hand out. [Music] All right. All right. All right.

You're moving. >> Tell me about it. >> He wasn't trying to do this, bro. >> Even after everything, the manager was willing to let it go. He didn't want to press charges, but the law doesn't always allow for a pass. Her behavior crossed a legal line, and officers had no choice but to step in. >> We going back to jail. >> Huh? >> We going back to jail. >> All right. around this car. >> This is employees. They were trying to calm her down. >> All right. >> Um she was uh it was an employee here was intoxicated. We're like, "Hey, just head out."

Let's go. She's She's acting up over here. In the end, she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. It's not considered a crime of moral turpitude. So, a one-time charge like this usually isn't enough to trigger deportation. So, next, what happens when a pregnant woman breaks into someone's home? On October 7th, 2024 in Ohio, police were called to an apartment after reports of a fight in progress. When they arrived, a man told officers a woman had broken into his home and was still inside. >> Did you call? >> She's still inside now. >> Does she live with you? >> In there. >> Does she live with you at all? >> No, she live right there. >> Do you know her? >> Yeah, I know her, but she just broke the door.

She told police her daughter had a history of mental illness, had been treated at Aaron General Hospital, and was on medication. Still, illness or not, breaking into someone's home is a serious offense, and the officers had no choice but to continue their investigation. >> Don't start throwing shoes. Come on. >> Okay, I will shut up. >> Let me check quick. >> You might have been a baby. >> This one's a little tight.
