On August 19th, 2023, police responded
to Tampa International Airport in
reference to a battery in progress.
>> Shut your mouth.
>> Like I said, I've been there.
>> Relax. Go over there now.
Sit tight.
>> What's going on?
>> That's the man you got to talk to.
>> You need to talk to me. This is who
we're going to talk to.
>> Well, all right. Well, the man was
obviously acting a little out there.
Obviously, I wasn't here, so I don't
know.
>> Yeah.
>> So, why don't you tell me what's going
on?
>> I'm still just trying to find my
baggage.
>> Why don't you tell me what's going on?
>> And then after we got off the ground,
cuz like, you know, we don't really need
to be doing this right here.
>> Control 13125.
Anybody down here
>> and still talking like dude talking?
>> Just tell me what the issue is.
>> That's what I'm saying. The issue is
obviously two males
>> button heads.
>> Okay. Did you get physical at any point?
>> No.
>> Did he put his hands on you? Did you put
your hands on him?
>> A That's where it gets alled up.
>> Do you want to go through the cameras?
>> Oh, we will. Yeah.
>> We'll go through the cameras, then you
tell me what happened.
>> But I'm trying to get what you, you
know, give you an opportunity.
>> You got to hold me. You just hold me.
>> Where's the other guy?
>> It really is no big deal.
>> Well, it is because we were called that
you guys got into a fight, so that's
what we're here for.
And since you won't say yes or no that
it got physical or not, I'm going to
assume
>> it's not physical.
>> Okay. So why can't you
>> There's no physical.
>> Were you calling with him?
>> Yes.
>> What happened?
>> So I was standing here waiting for this
guy.
>> So he came up next to me. I was talking
on the phone. He goes, "Boom." Like he
scares me.
>> Yeah.
>> So I look at him and he comes back and
he's like, "I like you." So he comes up.
I'm like, "Stay away. Stay away." So
I've had a long day. I've been up since
5. I'm tired. So he comes here and he
starts slamming his chest into me.
>> Okay.
>> Like going like that. So I push him
away.
>> Get the away. And he's like, "I like
you, sir. Come close. I'm not going to
lie to you." It's not like I swung him.
I like tap his face cuz if I wanted to
swing, I would have hurt him. But I
don't want to. I can tell he's drunk. I
work in a restaurant. I can tell when
people are drunk. He came up to me and
he's like, "Boo, I like like that." So I
swung. I didn't do anything. He was on
the floor and I like I'm like stay away
from me.
>> Okay.
>> So he came up and he start following me.
Then look, he puts me in [ __ ] and you
know I'm like you know what? I go down
on the floor with him and I'm waiting
for him. I let him cuff me and choke me
waiting for him to see what he does. And
I even told the guy, let the police
come. Call security. There was a guy
holding my glasses and my phone. I'm
like call security. Call the police. I
don't want to deal with that. Okay.
>> I'm just here to pick my friend up from
the airport. I'm tired. I got a shift at
6:00 a.m. Like I'm trying to go home and
get some like sleep.
>> So he he chest bumped you to start all
this.
>> No, he first he came and scared you.
>> Okay.
>> And then he's like, "I like you."
>> No, but the physical
>> Yes. He came up to me first. I didn't go
and touch him.
>> Chest bump.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you want to press charges?
>> I mean, he's drunk. Like, I don't want
to take it to court and stuff like that,
but
>> 21. You got me 29.
Like
>> look, I'm
>> No, I got it. You need medical?
>> No, I'm good.
>> How much you had to drink tonight?
>> Two shots. Jack
>> on the plane?
>> Yeah.
>> Where's the plane coming from?
>> She came from Chicago.
>> So, what started the argument?
>> To be honest, I'm not for sure.
>> Okay.
>> Really not sure why that guy was in my
life.
>> Okay.
But then all of a sudden he got to get
an honor and he's like, "Well,
>> was it over a bag or were you guys
standing too close to each other?" Like,
>> you're going to add I'm going to let it
all go there and let my lawyer take him
in there.
>> Well, that doesn't make sense.
>> Yeah. Well, that's just way it goes
>> for a verbal way. We took this guy to
jail.
>> That's the way it goes.
He was harassing him. He started it and
the other guy
>> you can't control.
>> So here's them starting
both places for about several minutes.
So
>> who did you see the whole thing then?
>> So they it started over there.
>> They just both arguing with each other
or he
>> was stirring.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And then dude tried to get him away from
him.
>> He kept pushing my seat.
>> Yeah. And he kept antagonizing and
that's when everything
>> kind of took off.
>> All right.
>> Thanks, Billy. here.
>> They are. They're not physical.
>> Didn't get physical, huh?
>> So, you're a liar, too, aren't you?
>> I just seen him argue and I figured I'd
start recording.
>> Where's your
>> What flight did you come in on?
>> It's not even a fight. What flight did
you come in on?
