owner Joshua Harris but upon further investigation they discovered that a woman was also with him the vehicle had no insurance and was parked outside of a bar based on the temperature the officers

with me Joshua came forward to the authorities but clarified that he was not the child's father the officers asked for an explanation he claimed to be the boyfriend of the child's mother Christina vuchi who had driven the car there and was inside the bar while he was being questioned other officers went to locate the child's mother vui appeared confused when she saw the police as soon as she was taken out of the bar she was interrogated the police needed an explanation in order to determine the next steps why had she left her child inside the car how long had she been inside the B bar got

no no Christina listen I'm going to give you one more opportunity no I I know I know you're not going anywhere okay okay just let me go but here's the deal when I tell you to stop moving all right can

do that let's walk over and have a seat yes we're all 105 okay so Christina you've been read your rights uh I have a feeling you know why we're here do you wish to explain or figure maybe help me better understand what the heck is going on I literally came here to get my boyfriend we were fighting or sleeping this car Josh okay so this is this is Josh's car um and you were driving Josh's car I did you drive Josh's car here I did okay so um Josh was here with you I I he was here I got here after him we had been arguing I just you could have a seat back down thank you um Christina stated that she had gone to pick up Joshua from the bar after an argument she said that she had been outside in the car most of the time watching the child but when she mentioned entering the bar to have a drink the officers detained her to ask more questions Ina claimed she had been at the bar for about 30 minutes since her arrival but that didn't match the report or the officer's timeline so you and Josh were arguing and Josh came here by himself yes okay and then what time did Josh get here to the bar I I really don't know honestly what time did you get here to the bar can I check my phone sure probably less than a half an hour ago okay about a half an hour ago you got to the bar and you came inside Josh was in here he was was and then I had been sitting out here watching the baby okay and I just I got a drink I was just waiting for him to leave so we could go home okay so at some point you decided to leave the child in the car to go inside and have a drink at the bar I was out here the whole time I literally had just that wasn't my question my question was at some point you decided to go inside he was out here watching the baby who was Joshua so Josh knew the baby was out here too yeah and at one point where you guys both inside when the baby was well yeah because we were standing out here for quite a while so I'm trying to figure out what at what point did both of you guys decide to go inside and have a drink and honly just wanted to get my boyfriend from the bar I did I was not trying to stay here at all I was trying to just go home I understand I can you explain why you would leave your child in the car unattended on a cold night when the no have a seat understand okay do you understand because you're having a very difficult time comprehending and following simple instructions sorry I'm sorry I'm just nervous I just want my child back why are you so nervous because I just I just want what makes you nervous I just wanted to go home I didn't want any of this to happen Okay who is what were you guys arguing about today you and Josh about him not being home I just wanted to go home I live I live with my I live we live over here in Edgewater okay so you guys live together yes how did Josh get here he has his own vehicle is that here yes which one is that believe it's just is that the Dodge that he just put in the call yes okay thank you I just I honestly I just I just so Sergeant Williams I I don't know if you're I mean you might as well hear this in real time have a seat oh okay thank you all right all right Jos Christina are live together at 103 Flagler um Christina get into an argument tonight Josh left and came to the par um Christina then put her child uh Josh came outside when she went inside and they were doing a little Swip soft while Josh was watching the child so now Josh gives admission that Josh knew that the child was out here too even though she came here alone with a child um they then both decided to go inside and enjoy some drinks together and she was not sure how and she didn't say anything about but she wanted him to come home with her when they went Ingam said she's got a drink in her hand she's sitting at the he he exited with a drink yeah and put it down it's sitting right so two oh yeah absolutely do you want here interview and then I came over here because and then he kind I think the next thing is just fig out where our kid g go okay okay my parent can I tell you my parents my parents live here at L County officers reviewed the statements and highlighted two crucial points for the case Christina and Joshua had knowingly left the child in the vehicle and both seemed to have consumed alcohol in the bar while the child was left alone crying in the car but 2i appeared to be nervous and her statements started to become inconsistent not entirely matching Joshua's version the officers didn't understand why she was so nervous considering that she seemed calm inside the bar something was off and authorities were determined to address it that this guy yeah just like approaching told him to stay back and I'll make phone he doesn't have okay so is he like who is the father of the child that's what I just asked and she said she doesn't have a father my parents he has a father is the father who is is he not in the picture anymore is he not is he incarcerated is he deceased he's he's not deceased can I just see my child go do not do not do that do not pull away from me not stop pull away me pulling away from you oh my God I can't believe this is stop me right now I don't want this to happen can you please back to my parents can you please I'm not I'm not can you please back got we're good so like I said 2 minutes ago arrest me right now if I committed a crime arrest me right now I'm going to go okay um I'm going to take her out the park if she's comfortable and quiet let's just a little chilly we got uh either dad or parents or somebody coming to get it uh and then we'll go to uh yes sir yeah absolutely what's going on here they left the child unattended in the car while they're there drinking there's a six-year-old child in the car in a child's seat so somebody called and I get that they're good people oh good people make bad decisions too I get it but it's a wealth and healthier of a 5-year-old child that's strapped in a car seat unable to get themselves out so you're arting her both of them both of them yep they both knew the kid was out here I would have took them home I would have made sure oh yeah there's a bunch of what a could have should but there were a bunch of Dentons I didn't know y I didn't drove here I've been hanging out in the bar the whole time keep your voice down we're going to talk to you in a second what changed um just just I just asked her if I hey hey what did I just tell you chill out can I talk to you please no you can talk to me you can't yell at me give me a second I'm going to be with I'm going to talk with my other officer for a second and we'll talk we won't yell at each other okay thanks not okay thank you can you I my parents please have a seat so he was Prior talk he was Prior talking to no um I thought he was right what what what say Sor um that he's been here since 5:30 um she came up an hour ago and they've been were arguing in the bar ever since okay and what's his version about the child which is he knew he knew the child was there of course he she said that they back forth but what is their justification didn't give me any justification to it they just said that they came up here she wanted she wanted him to go home which is the same thing she said is he did they decide that they would both have a drink and hang out I literally just was coming outside how much did they serve I literally that was my first drink on the bar I just ordered I swear to you I your level of intoxication is not from is one drink here but previously you had drinks at your house no I was at the Orlando I'm was at the Orlando I had drinks we I went to the aler of Science Center with my friends and we came home I was not driving went to my parents house you're missing my question no I literally had one drink here I'm telling you I didn't have so all day you had one drink I said I have I had drinks earlier in the day much earlier in the day okay but today right right you had to drink today I've had three drinks all day three drinks all day according to him she she hasn't drink at all tomor I just got because I just I just got that drink I haven't drank anything um okay and what else do we need I I'd like to go talk with him do you mind hanging out with her for a second she's Wiggly but otherwise she's fine child your child is fine did I tell you what the harder said no um so I asked how long have they been here she said I got here at 7: they were here before that I was not here before that I I literally did not get back before both individuals were placed in handcuffs and Joshua's statements seemed to match the timeline and the facts better it appeared that Christina had been drinking before arriving at the bar which further complicated the situation the level of neglect became more apparent as the officers uncovered details about the incident uh not talk to this guy please I'm going talk make sure you understand it okay okay so before we ask you any questions you understand your rights you have the right to remain silent anything you say can it be used in court you have the right to talk to advice before he ask you any questions and to have question if you cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed to you before any questioning if you wish if you decide to answer any questions now without a lawyer present you will still have the right to stop answering any time you also have the right to stop answering any time until you talk to a lawyer do you understand those rights yes okay and we have all of Josh's information send the call inputed already I just need to input it I'll talk with you now Jos that needs to be read to you because there's some pretty serious allegations I understand I do and you're in handcuffs it's pretty evident that you're not free to go that's a procedural thing that needs to happen so you want to talk to me tell me what's going on so I've been in here by myself hanging out for the last few hours she showed up here I told her not to come up here mhm oh gr is going to jump in and ask questions as we're going along too so goad told her not commer go to the house I'll meet you there and no point I I drove this vehicle it is registered in my name yes because she cannot have a vehicle registered in her name because she has a DUI and in North Carolina okay so I registered the vehicle in this name she paid for the vehicle it's in my name yeah I think we're focusing on the wrong thing like I don't care about the vehicle okay so what I want to understand is why what what what illegal fraction am I what am I doing because I was inside I she just came inside okay she came here with her so you want to jump go ahead jump in so you start did she get here like an hour an hour so it's roughly around 8 around about 7:30 yes and I multiple times to go in the car and go to my house did she have any drinks while she was in there at the very last minute I think okay when I came out here at any point did she say she has a kit in the car she told me yes she did she told you yes when was that this is when I came out here to check on her check on who her kid he came out I didn't know she was here that's why I had the keys I came out here to so give me your keys my question is so when she got here she met you inside the bar correct yeah she didn't tell me she was in there until then she told she was and I grabbed her keys check on her I I just I'm trying to understand that she came here and met you inside the bar correct yes let's talk about him let's talk about what he at what point did she tell you that the kid was in the car right away I came out of here right before you came came out with the keys okay so you just came out here randomly that's why I grabbed her keys and came out here to check on her check on who her daughter how did you know the daughter was in the car she told me when I when you came inside saw my daughter but still like I was worried I here to check and then after you checked on your that's all you guys I'm to I'm to understand that um it's not your biological trial do you you guys are like you guys are boyfriend girlf dating okay how long you guys been together six months six months and her kid call what's the deal is his father is it the kid he beat the [ __ ] out of her so lack a better term like you're the child's father you're the father figure okay okay I got you what time did you get to theor listen I got off work at at 2:00 today I was at Surf and I came here okay you guys 530 the fact that she wouldn't go home no no no initially like that caused her to come here I told her to go home and meet me at the house cuz she was with her where was she today that she wasn't she took her to the Orlando Science Center okay okay and I said when you get done we'll meet at the house said I got off early today I work like 70 hours a week mhm I worked in town I do uh vinyl installation like car vehicle WS stuff like that I worked in town at Canal Street today which is very rare I don't ever work in town M my B said you're done for the day cuz I don't want you to come to Orlando I just start I just decided to drink so I started drinking at Surf I wasn't drunk I left and came here ever since then I am drunk right now and I'm not planning on I was not planning on leaving here driving that's fine um and you think she got here about an hour and a half ago yes okay that was when I found no no no that's so that's not true because you said that you had come out and checked on the child previously no but she I asked no I asked her if she was out here but she said know she took her home cuz this is weird cuz sometimes she takes her home that's a little different because she was saying that you guys were like swapping back and forth and that's a different story right if you guys were like swapping back and forth and she comes out do that check on the child like no no no no no hell no no no no I'm sorry no no Joshua was interrogated and a particular situation arose he claimed to have gone to check on the child in the car as soon as he learned she was alone but the officers contradicted his version as it did not align with Christina's statement what was the truth in all of this the authorities needed Joshua to be as detailed as possible to identify any inconsistencies in his account listen I've been with that chick for 6 months but I'm not I'm not no that's that's not how that's how that's going that's I'm not I'm not playing that playing what like her saying that checking in in and out I I never ask the ask the bartender if I ever went out outside the whole time until the now the just now when I came outside with the keys I did not come outside until just now okay I'm not playing that crap dude I got right

talk to her I don't because I didn't know about the baby they're taking the baby aren't they uh yeah more than likely um well not sure where yet but yes probably um if she wants to hold on just for a few minutes cuz we're still in the middle of that okay you tell me if I hung out inside the whole time didn't come out here to check on her I would have what she told me that she was out here I didn't know that her kid was here the whole time so if I would have stayed inside when when she told me her kid was out here in the car and I didn't care to come out and check on her I'd have been fine if I would have stayed inside I didn't say I'm just saying no cuz I came out here now on the handcuffs yeah yeah she deserves to be in in in now I'm tell you right now but me I think it's a little off I
