How could someone involve a child in a police pursuit? >> In this case, it actually happened. >> Get out the car. Stop her. I will you. >> We got every on my face. I want my kids. >> So, she ran to my house to fight. >> Are you going to put me in cuffs right now? This is my residence. >> Sometimes adults make decisions that unknowingly put children at risk. And in the end, it's the children who bear the consequences of those decisions. A tense conflict erupted between two neighbors with children involved in the background. >> You want to fight? You want to fight? >> On October 7th, 2024, local police received a call for assistance regarding a dispute between two women. What began as a concern over child care quickly escalated as tensions rose. Police arrived promptly and started gathering information, beginning with statements from the neighbors. Hi. Um, so earlier I went to go pick my son up from the bus, okay? Which is literally at the entrance by the blinking light. So I pick my son up from school or whatever and I don't get along with her, but my baby dad and her baby dad are cool and [ __ ] He asks us like all the time like look out for his kids or whatever. So I come back, I pull up this way from picking my son up from the blinker light down there. I pull in, her son's standing outside, she's not on the porch and her door's closed. So I sent the picture to the baby dad and I'm like, "You might want to call or do something cuz he's just standing over here by himself." So I come in the house or whatever where his he texts me back. He's like, "Can you go outside and please make sure my son not still standing out there?" So I come outside on my porch. His off her porch, bum rushes me in my house. Her hair and her shoe is still in my house. So she ran in my house to fight because I told her, "Baby, dad, like your baby's just out here by himself type." So yeah, I want to press charges cuz >> that one's off. I have the video footage of her running in the front of my house cuz I have a camera right there. So I have the footage of her running into my house and you can see the shoes that she's wearing. Yeah, she grabbed me when I got in my house by the back of my hair and so I grabbed her hair. So, yeah, that's her hair in my house up in my three up in here. >> But I've had problems. That's her shoe. You can check my out size five six and a half. Okay, that's her shoe and that's her hair because um my friend that was here, he had to separate us. Like I was screaming for him like cuz he was upstairs and he had to separate us and and then um so I left that there for y'all but I slammed the door and he threw like her one shoe out here which obviously she took with her. But this is not my first problem with this girl. Like last week her sister ran up on me. Her sister's a I have the video of that too. I don't know her little sister's name though. So there's really nothing I do about it cuz I don't know the little girl name or whatever. But she ran up on my porch the other last weekend and I've already went to the courts. I've already tried to put on her. You feel me? She sat here and done called the police on saw me talking about she's so scared for her told the cop that I to her and her kids. I had to call the police back cuz the wind up sitting out here having a conversation. This scary escort home cuz I told her I said get this a couple months ago. >> Yes. I've been having issues with trying to get some type of like thing in place. But like I told her before, if you want to just me and just get away, but what you're not going to do is try to run up on me while I'm in my when I got my kids here. All you had to come outside and we could have ran it. >> I understand that you're >> like I'm upset because nobody ever wants to do [ __ ] But that no, somebody got to do something with her cuz nothing I'm letting y'all know now. Like I got kids in my house and [ __ ] >> So let me go ahead and take your information. Can you pull up your your footage for us? >> Yep. I got that and I got the one from last >> security cameras in the area captured the entire incident, including the detail of a sandal left behind at the scene. >> This is the video from last week. I went to go throw a thing. You can see where my trash can is. My trash can be sitting over there. I went to go throw a can in my trash can and she started talking to me. So I told her you. >> So then here come the minor. >> That's the minor. So I threw the other can that I had in my hand. I went inside to go get my shoes on, but when I came outside, she didn't want to do nothing. But like I said, the little girl in the white, she's 16 years old. So I can't legally put my hands on you. I'm going to go to jail if you end up trying calling the police. So this was literally from what is this? September 29th. But I have multiple reports. Like I said, you could probably even look it up in your system. >> Yeah. What do you need to do today? >> The video of her running up into my house. I'm like, so when I'm in my house, she runs up. I'm in my house already. So she starts grabbing my hair, like I said, right here where you're standing. Only thing I can do is grab her hair like you had me from behind. So I reach back. I'm grabbing her hair with this hand. Finger hurt from my ring. And but she's wearing those exact shoes. Like >> can you pause it where she was at? >> Pause it. Where? like wories in the middle. Can I see them real quick? Will it zoom in? >> It'll zoom in. Give me a second. Let me pause it for you. >> Is it going to Hold on. >> They're so pretty. >> I might um um store purple Crocs, which I did throw one out after I slam my door after we had to her out of my house. I did throw one Croc out, but [ __ ] I'm going to save the other one because you got the other one. Previously, the two parties had clashed multiple times and even taken each other to court without a final resolution, showing that the conflict had been simmering for a long time. >> You said there was somebody else that was here, too. Your friend helped you like >> Yeah, but he was already on his way out the door. Like he was already leaving. >> Okay. Okay. >> He Where was he at when this happened? >> He was upstairs. I had him uh he went outside because I went outside and then he went outside after me and then I like I said I came back in and then that's when he had texted me like hey can you go make sure my kids not out there he's upstairs while I'm coming outside to see and check my mail and [ __ ] That's when she started to like run up on me after I'm already back turned to the mailbox. He had came back inside obviously cuz that's when I started screaming his name like you know about to just run up in my house. Um, I can't even defend myself at this point cuz I might got my head backwards. Like I want to take my charges because I went to the courts. I don't know if you can pull that up or not, but I've tried to uh I went in front of a judge to go get like an order placed. Okay, that way I'd protect myself because it's AMHA. So, I did that to try to protect myself from the situation. And the judge literally told me when I showed him cuz I have more I have multiple more videos and police track records of all this. But he told me he said, "This literally seems like just more bad behavior to me right now." He says, "I'm really not going to grant anything, but if it escalates, then let me know." And I'm like, "All right, cool. I'll let you know or whatever." So, ever since then, there's been like a a silent beef with her like, and it's like I told her before, we can fight and just get it up out the way, but she don't never want to just do that and or just be an adult and just drop the but when you think you're about to run up in my house, I wouldn't care if my kids wasn't standing right here, but all three of my kids are standing right here screaming and like, you know what I mean? That's different. Like, but that that's just not cool. Now I'm at the point where something need to happen with this girl before I really just do some to her because it's it's coming to that point now. You put my kids in danger. No. >> Yeah, that's not okay. >> This one's for you. I already have one. >> So, what I'm going to do is let me go get some information for you. He's going to talk to Oh, he didn't see the video. If I send you a link, if I text you a link, are you able to upload that video to the link? Okay. So, let me go get you that real quick and I'll be right back with you. Okay. >> All right. >> All right. >> A few minutes later, police returned to continue collecting information from the mother to support the investigation. What's her name? >> Maragona. >> Okay. >> But she goes by Mina. >> Mina. Okay. >> And the only thing that I and this is another problem that I had when it came to doing the whole court with her. I don't know her birthday. But when I went to go do that order, they kept trying to tell me like, "Oh, well, you can't like do it because like we have to give you 24 hours to get her birthday if he granted it." Which he didn't grant it, so I didn't end up needing it. But for somebody I mean like girl, you could have called the police on me. Had me being patted down in front of my own house talking about some, "Oh, you're scared. Well, you must not be that scared cuz how how do you how do you sit there and claim you're the victim and you're scared and this the third, but you you run up in people's houses. >> So, you 62. Which one is she in? >> She's in 63 or no, whatever that is. 61. This is 63, not her. >> Okay. >> 61. >> So, she's literally directly next door. >> And this is exactly why I was told by the office down there to go file a report because if they put protection order in place, they will have to move her. >> Okay. >> And I'm not the only person that has issues with her. She has issues with her. She was trying to have 15-year-old. The mother's pissed. The mother's willing to go press charges about that. But it's just like you crossed the line running up in my house. Um >> so when we came, the one who was standing here outside your house was was her. >> Who? >> Maragona. >> No, that is her baby dad's uh her baby dad's sister. Like I said, I messaged him about the baby being outside and it's about a baby. You know what I mean? So yeah, I did message him and I sent him a picture of his son standing out here by himself. So you're going to go inside and you're going to listen to me or there's going to be no TV. >> I'll be right back with you. >> Go. I don't want it. Go. You need to listen. Thank you. Go in and shut my door. >> I'll be right back with you. Okay. >> Thank you. You're welcome. >> Police approached the neighboring house and spoke with the mother who shared her perspective on the incident, explaining that tensions had escalated unexpectedly. >> I wanted. >> All right. I I'll go ahead and get it. I never made it. >> I'm right here. >> Hello. >> I know. I'm sorry. I'm going to put a shirt on. >> Yeah, that would be >> Hello. >> All right. What's going on? So this female has always been a drama with me for no type of reason at all. I can never sit outside without her trying to jump me and my sisters with her stupid ass friends too. She was lit literally every time I'm outside she's so drama with me all the damn time for no at all. Now she when I text my baby dad sending them pictures about my kids being outside. Oh no my kids are never on time. I'm right here outside right here playing with the [ __ ] Okay. My kids will never be alone. I'm a strict ass mom can ask anybody about me. I don't care. But she's always got a problem with me for no type of reason at all. And I'm tired of it, bro. Like it's weird as me and my family alone. Like why is you going back and forth with my baby for what? So between us like this is why me and my dad do not communicate. We not do not get alone cuz I'm hurt and I'm tired of it, bro. I need my peace, bro. >> So what happened? >> This is what happened, bro. I'm literally just outside just chilling. Bro, you want to fight? You want to fight? You want to fight? Go ahead. Come me the Guess what? Nope. You don't want to run up. She don't want to do nothing. But when I'm alone, she don't start sh with my sister. She want to set every the damn book. And I'm tired of it, bro. I can never have friends over texting my dad telling him telling him that I have hell at my house. No, I had to talk to one dude. I had this one dude only and his little brother be here all the damn time, too. I'm tired of always trying and I'm tired of it. Like why? Like there's no point of you hating on me. Why? Cuz I won't have a free song with you and your bead. That's the only reason why she hates me. Cuz I want to have a damn face with with them. This nastiest in hell that she told me about that, too. So I'm like over it, bro. I was finally starting to get my damn peas, bro. And I'm tired of damn this drama, bro. I gave me that foot on time, bro. And I'm tired of it. It's stupid as I'm grown, bro. I'm 3 years old, bro. I'm grown as bro. >> So, what happened today? >> Here I am outside my 2 minutes, bro. Cuz I have a one-year-old. Go inside the damn house. Take out my kid, bro. My son's right here playing with the ass. Okay. And I come outside and he's still right here playing with me. I will never leave my kids outside as long as I'm not stupid. I grew up in a very strict ass family, bro. I'm foreign, bro. I don't know if you guys know anything about my foreign, but we are straight as my parents are very, very, bro. I couldn't step foot outside alone without my parents being beside me. Okay, that's how I want my parents, too. With my too, bro. And I can't do that. I know what the damn ho. We got everyone this. I want my >> Each side carried their own frustration and story. This illustrates how when emotions override reason, the truth can easily be mispersceived. >> Walk me through you being inside of her apartment. >> Here I am right here, okay? And I see her outside and I say, "What the dumb for?" She's the one that write up on me. He's the one that wanted to fight me all the damn time. And I I'm tired, but of course my ass too like the I'm not sweet. I need her to leave me alone, bro. Cuz >> But walk me through how you got inside of her apartment. >> So here I am right here with her fighting, dragging her. What the? And I dragged her inside. She's going to scream out to her boyfriend. Josh. Oh my god. Josh. It's not my fault you can't fight. It's not my fault you can't drag. >> Okay. So, the video that we have shows you running over to her apartment. >> I was running >> over to her apartment. >> No, we were both right here. It had to be later on too because we was fighting before too before I even thought I even ran up on her. Man, I wish I had my camera, but this one this [ __ ] doesn't even work no more cuz I was showing you my stuff too, but it doesn't work at all. >> I just want my peas, bro. Like I need her to leave me alone and stop telling lies to my baby dad. That's why we don't communicate. We don't even get along no more. >> So you're saying that you guys were over here. >> Yes, we was right here. >> How did you end up over there? >> She said you can't fight. Nothing on my face or anything. That's why that's when I ran up over there again cuz she was keep starting with me. Keep talking and talking. This is how she is. Just talking to you. That's all she was. She's talking talking. I'm tired of it. I don't talk much. Even when I get mad, I don't give a >> Okay. When you ran out of your yard, what happened? >> Um if we end up in her house. >> Okay. >> Was she in there? >> No, she was not inside. That's when we both I was heated, you know. I was heated. That's why I couldn't genuinely remember. Take a breath. But like was right here fighting and we just, you know, rolling on the floor and this and that and somehow he's ending up on her steps and the boyfriend jumped in tried to break us up. But honestly, I can't remember cuz I'm shaking right now. I'm sorry. I'm >> at all. >> I'm sorry. >> Do you need an ambulance? >> No, I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all. She did just a little in my face. I'm fine. So you guys were fighting here too? >> Yes. And last week she was trying to jump me and my sisters as well. That's when I called the cops. And I have reports on her too and agent reports too. All of that. And they about to move me out of here soon because of her. And I know for a fact it was them that knocked in my door. They trying to bring me to my Hello. I know yall see this right here. I know for sure it was them. That's when I had to call the cops again cuz I had to make reports. I'm not staying here no more. I got kids here that lay their heads. >> Just hang on in here for a minute, okay? And we'll come back talk to you. The neighbors also continued to present accusations from their perspective. >> So, at any point in time when you were out here today, were you over there fighting with her? >> No. This is literally the first time I even seen this girl at all today. I can even show you the time stamps cuz I know she not over there trying to lie fast. >> No, I'm just trying to get down to trying to get to the bottom of this. >> I don't talk to her unless her and her little raggedy little sisters start some with me. the other weekend when we was out here and they said some to me I said then do something because you're always up the most but you don't never want to do [ __ ] That's why I said when you first came up here if she had a problem but I let her baby dad know that his son was out here by himself. She should have just came up and said that. It said do you want to fight? But when you come in my house and you got my three kids standing right here next to me and my kids is screaming. No, we not going to play that cuz I don't even play like that. The only reason I even said anything to her baby dad is because of the simple fact he asked me to please look out for her kid because she has hell of men in that house. Multiple men a day. I understand all that, but I'm dealing with this [ __ ] >> The father's involvement reportedly played a role in the dispute. What started as a concern for the children eventually developed into an ongoing conflict between the two families. >> She has two. >> She has two. >> She has another one, but that one was adopted. The baby dad or whatever. So, she has three biologically. Two live there. Her other baby dad is trying to get custody. >> How old are the ones? >> I think Yeah. One and three and a half or four. So, it's not like they're school age. Get off here. >> But the only reason And to be honest with you, this is exactly why when I see you standing there, I didn't say I just took a picture and I sent it to the baby dad >> and then she just ran over. >> No, this is what happened. So, like I told you, I sent the picture to the baby dad. He must have said some to her, right? I sent to him right now. When I took the picture, whatever I sent it to him, I said, "You might want to have somebody come over here and either check on your kids or something." I said, he's standing over here by himself. I said, "She's not on the porch and she's not. The door's closed." >> Let me stop you there. How did you know that she wasn't out there on the porch? my son's bust up when you guys pull up like I told you at the blinker light. Well, I go this way because I park right here in front of my cameras for a reason. So, when you come up from that angle and you're coming around and you're going over those speed bumps, I don't go over the speed bumps. I go into the little parking spot because my car is already messed up. I'm coming up, I see him. But when you come around that corner, you can see her door and you can clearly see her porch. She has one porch. There was nobody sitting or standing at that door and that door was closed. Now granted, even though I don't like her, if the boy was sitting out there, she was sitting out there with him. I'm not about to send him a picture cuz she's right there. But if someone tells me, "Hey, look out for my kid because there's other weird going on, too." I sent him a picture. And maybe daddy even told me he's like, "That's how I know my son was on my phone because she got mad and just tried to pull that." This is not the first time. >> All right, hold on. Walk me through again where she come running over like what happened. >> Okay, I'm going to tell you what time I I sent the text message. >> I'm not asking about the text message. What you're not understanding is I had already went in the house after I sent this picture. I came out here because her baby dad said, "Listen, listen. I'm probably going to be taking her to jail. I'm just trying to get everything straight. Okay, so relax. I get it. But you got to help. You have to help me." Okay. So, when you were in the doorway, right? In my doorway. So, when he he text my phone, I'm upstairs with my three kids and I'm puppy sitting. I'm not upstairs with my kids. I'm down. I'm upstairs, but I'm puppy sitting. So, I'm upstairs with the puppy. He texts me. He's like, "Hey, can you please go make sure my kids still not outside?" I said, "Yeah, I got you. I'm waiting for my baby dad to drop my kids off like I told you guys cuz he was right here when all this happened. I open my door cuz I come down the stairs. I open my door. I go like this. I walk out here a little bit. I look cuz he was right on the sidewalk when I seen him. He's not on the sidewalk. Cool. I go to check my nail. I go turn around. I'm already back in my house. Not on camera, but I'm rushing into my house. She grabbed me by my hair when I was in my house. So, what I did is of course I'm going to reach over me and I grabbed her hair back and that's why her hair is laying right there. Then that's when I was screaming. Yes. And then that's when I was Yes. And then that's when I was screaming in the video, my my baby dad's name, Joshua, because he had to run up in here and he had to try to separate as because she had my hair. I'm not letting go of your hair though cuz you came in my house. I did pull her hair out, but you should have ran in my house. So I have this too. I don't know where the >> Do you need any? Okay. All right. We're going to be walking her by. We're not saying anything. We're not starting no fights. >> No, this is my thing. Okay. I don't even told her this before. If you would just leave people the and stop acting like you're a victim. I mean, you don't call the police talking about like I told you before. I'm threatening to your kids. >> I'm just telling you for right now when we walk by say to her. >> Police returned to follow up with the mother, ensuring she understood her legal responsibilities while safeguarding the children. >> Well, we're going to need you, Mr. >> I got her stopped in freaking Malaysia. >> Do I need my wallet or anything? >> We We'll get all that figured out. Okay. >> Okay. Louder. Like put your put your hands together like you're praying. Turn them around hand to hand >> like palm palm to palm to palm. Palm to palm like your hands together. >> There you go. >> Make it more comfortable for you. >> Go ahead. >> Too tight. You good there? >> Oh, yeah. That's fine. [Music] >> Well, we have to and I'm trying to do it here so you're it's more private. We're not trying to I don't want to embarrass you or anything like that. Okay. 187. >> This is so weird. >> 13. >> I'll be 24. >> I don't have anything. >> We're We're going to get everything else figured out, but for right now, we're just going to go have a seat. Okay. 17. >> Yes, sir. I can get you to head for Southwest and >> the kids that you have here now. >> Who are they? What's >> those are my kids? Uh her right there. That's my baby dad's sister. Her her wife is inside my house, too. >> Okay. Get the kids. So, we're trying to work. I don't I don't want if I can avoid having like CSB come out and get involved with the kids and stuff. That's what we're trying to do. Okay. At that point, >> yeah, she's speaking. >> You as mom are Well, that's what I'm ask. Would you be willing to sign a form saying that she can watch the kids? >> Of course. Yes. That's family right there. She's family. >> Okay. Go ahead and get the kids info. >> Okay. >> The mother was later charged with adult and aggravated trespassing. Under Ohio law, the maximum penalty for these charges can be up to 3 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. In the end, it is the children who are most affected by adult conflicts. By acting calmly and respecting the law, we can better protect our families and ensure a safe environment for children. In encounters with police, cooperating typically helps resolve situations more smoothly. In this case, however, the man took a completely unexpected approach. On June 27th, 2025 in Marian County, Florida, a man caused a police chase after colliding with a patrol car and attempting to flee. During the pursuit, he caused significant disruption in a residential area. Police used necessary measures to detain the suspect. >> They're ramming my patrol car. Start me a car. Fairway Circle and Silver Pass. I got someone ramming my patrol car. Get out the car. Give me Give me your Show me your hands. Show me your hands. Get out the car. Show me your hands. Get out the car. Show me your hands right now. Sheriff's office. Get out the car. Get out the car. Get out the car. Get out the car. Stop or I will shoot you. Get out the car. Get out the car. 6403 man. They just tried to ram me. Hey, he just went through a fence. He's headed out the silver road. >> Silver four-door made a left on silver road. I do believe he was trying to run me over at one point. Marian 64, Marion, we got 70 mph about to come out on Mary Cam. >> 70 mph. He's driving pretty carelessly with the advisor. They want me to continue. [Music] Colin, get on the ground or I'm going to chase you. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Mike, white beanie hat, gray shorts, black shirt, camo pants. Get on the ground. There's a K9 over there waiting on you. >> Taser. Get out of the face. Get down. >> Put your hands on your back. >> All right. No. No. No. No. No. I got it. >> Put your hands behind. >> Try to run me over again. We don't do that in Marian County. >> We got one. >> We got one. >> I ain't never keep going. I'm like you. >> Once the situation was under control, police discovered a child in the vehicle who was safe. Though the situation had clearly been very risky running over, bro. >> Ridiculous. I don't have anything. It's a ladder. >> Um, get in that car. You ain't getting nothing. >> No, I'm asking. >> You ain't getting nothing. Get in the car. I didn't double lock. Doesn't need to catch my breath. >> Are you okay? >> Come here, sweetheart. >> You okay? You okay, baby? We need medics. >> Start him this way. It's a It's about a fourmonth-old. Come here, baby. >> Yeah. You okay, baby? >> That was ridiculous. >> Yeah. >> He pushed the car into me almost. >> Is that baby okay? >> Was that in the car? >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> Like, why would he do this [ __ ] Let's pull over. Take whatever. Now you got extra charges. >> The situation escalated when another man, then identified as the mother's brother, came back home, but he did not cooperate with authorities. >> Is my car damaged? >> I locked it for you. >> Thank you. >> So hopefully you have your keys. >> I do. I don't see any damage on my car, which is shocking. Get your >> My baby. What happened? Can somebody tell me what happened? >> I tried to stop him and he tried to run me over and he ran for me. >> So what what's the point of you trying to stop him? >> We're not worried about that right now. We're about the fact he ran for me. Okay. >> Okay. But I'm trying to see what's what's what happened with wrong. >> All we need you to worry about right now is your banker. Okay. >> [ __ ] wrong. I'm just trying to come figure out what's going on. But you ain't got to about going to jail if I ain't did wrong. So I'm going respect you the same way you respect me. >> You kind of came in a little little hostile. >> I can't run it cuz my sister's here. My sister is here. >> Yes, please. That's all I'm asking. Ain't no reason to be me about getting arrested. Don't pay me. Fine. Listen to me now. Just let me talk. Is that her boyfriend or is that her husband? That's her boyfriend. >> Her boyfriend got into a car chase like a dumb ass. She crashed his car here and he ran. We got him. That's it. That's it. That's it. >> Why he couldn't just say that though? Why he got to threaten me about being arrested? >> Cuz you probably can't [ __ ] cuz you came in way up here. Walk away right now. >> I'm not even talking to you, sir. I'm talking to them. >> You're tying up three. >> I'm talking to them. That's then you asked me if I want to know what's going on. So now we talking. >> Come over here and talk to me. >> I'm going to piss me off. They going to piss me off. For real. For real. >> Boss, come here and talk to me if you want to talk to somebody. >> But I'm so Why is they making it so hard to explain to me what's going on with my sister? Instead, they want to me. >> I understand that. But you ain't got to sit here to me about going to jail, bro. >> That's that would scare me. I've been there already. >> Once under control, police clearly explained the reasons behind the measures they had to take. >> Way more calmer than these other ones. >> You come in way up here to other people, right? >> Yes, sir. >> So, if you probably come up and said, "Hey, man. What's going on here? I live here. I need to know what's going on." That would have probably been a lot different than where the my sister way up here. This that and the other, right? I'm trying to start, you know, we're going to start stuff. I heard all them comments, right? >> Yes, sir. >> When you get up there, everybody else gets elevated and then it's a whole c situation that doesn't need to go there, right? >> Yes, sir. >> Essentially, I understand this is your house, but this is a situation that doesn't involve you and you don't need to be wrapped up in, right? >> Does involve me cuz it's at my house. This is where I lay my head for peace. I don't we don't want no police here. So, for me to get called off of work, literally I'm going to get off in like 2 hours. I just got called late to come up here and run. I just had to run all the way from up there by the uh Zitro. Ran all the way from up there to get here. So, of course, I'm going to be pissed. Of course, I'm going to be mad. and his little sister at that. Hell yeah, I got a right to be mad. >> But your little sister and all that like that. Yeah, he he took this problem here. So this ain't anybody else's fault but Jordan. He took this problem here. So us being here, I promise you at 5:00 in the afternoon, I didn't say, "I'm going to come to his house and mess with him today." He brought us here. So since he brought us here, we got to do our job so we can get out of here. The minute we have people coming up, prolonging it, and essentially putting themselves in making a situation way worse, makes it a lot longer for us to get out of here. All right. My concern was this baby. Listen to what he said. >> My concern when we were here was this baby. He was in the back of this car. >> You did that [ __ ] while the >> You got to call me a comment. These people, they just here to do their job. >> I admit I'm sorry. I was trying to come in. But in the predicament of my life, okay, so hear me out. My incident right now, my mom's in the hospital from a massive stroke. She's all I got. You feel me? So when I pull up and I I get a phone call saying it's 50 police officers, 60 police officers outside, I know straight up. That's that phone that I gave you. >> Didn't I just give it to somebody else? Didn't I give it back to you? It's in your hand. >> Yeah, dude. But you Hey. >> However, the vehicle search continued to reveal several suspicious items linked to illegal activity. Woo. >> All right. I'm just pumped. He was trying to run me over. I had my gun. I was like, "You come near me, I'm going to you." Like, and he kept pushing the car towards me cuz there was a car between me and him and he was pushing my car and that other car just ping it towards me. And there was a gap that was about wide enough to fit a car through. He if he would have kept going, he would have went. I'm right behind you. I didn't see you jump it, but I was like, man, I cleared that thing. >> Something like that. >> If you want, we went straight that way. >> I say I can walk you through it if you're going to be if you want. It's like if you did you see him? >> He's got stuff in here and he was coming out one of the parks where they often sell. >> We were calling both feet behind him and he was walking away. I don't want them not have the car seat. >> What's that? >> French fries and stuff. >> We're giving it a tour, right? >> Yeah. Just put it right here for now. Uh right across from the the not the community center parking lot, but that additional parking lot they have that's often tucked in the woods by the golf course. He came out there, pulled into a parking spot at those apartments and then started ramming right there. It's like the first or second car. It's like the first or second car in that parking lot of those apartments there. Pine pass and the park goes off to the right and the apartments are up to the left >> and it's like he immediately hooked and parked into a parking spot backed up started in my car with the back of his car and then >> that's in the apartments the park >> I was definitely No, I was pumped up cuz he backed up in my car and then he started ramming me coming towards me and was ramming my car. Luckily there was a car and I had almost enough room to fit a car through but he kept gassing it to the point where his tires were spinning and so I moved over and I had him at gunpoint. I was like, "If you come for me, I'm going to shoot you." And I told him multiple times. He finally backed up and went around my car, but And then he couldn't get out that way, so he went through a fence. And I I feel like I was good to chase him. I hope I was because >> it's Do you um do you have >> Yeah. >> All right. Lab out. >> No, I'm not. I was just really pumped up cuz I thought he was about to run me over. >> Everything so I just hold it for a second. Do we have somebody over there walking? >> Yeah. Yeah. Christian's over there. Chris, do we have to is it an evidence thing to come out? >> No, it's I got a small gun with ammo. >> Okay. >> And in the trunk just It ain't enough for you. I don't think it's the scales. >> Okay. >> Um >> with a bunch of bags and scales right there. I don't have any damage hardly. He had hit. >> That's That's not what I'm talking about. You have water in there. >> Yeah. >> All right. Go in your car. Open the >> It's rusted. It's a little piece of junk. It had a full magazine though. And he's got a sticker from the smoke shop on there. >> Yeah. Maybe the car. >> Yeah, my first second pit ever. Kind of a ram, but I mean I didn't get no damage to my car, but I didn't want him to go any further. I didn't know he was going to try to stop here. I pitted him right here. And I was hitting the brakes and I see the car spinning in the road. >> I wasn't going to let him keep driving in this neighborhood like that. >> More seriously, the man did not have a driver's license, which created a situation for others, including his own child. >> So, I'm coming up to the park right there. Not the community center park, but the little extra parking lot they have that borders the golf course. He's coming out there. The windows are dark dark. I go pull him over. He's kind of driving like trying to get away from me. But he pulls into a parking spot. So I was like maybe he's just nervous. And pulling into a parking spot. He starts backing into my patrol car trying to get turned around. That's when he started me like right here. >> Then he comes back. >> Yeah. And that's when I was like pulled my out and I was like, "Show me your hands. Show me your hands. Show me your hands." >> Okay. >> He finally was able to back out of the parking spot. This is my car. He's on this side like as if he's that car, but he's facing towards me. >> There's a parked car right here. >> There's about this much room and he's ramming the side of my car and that car coming towards me, pushing both cars into me. So, I'm backing up. I back up and I move off to the left. Still got my drawn. I was like, "If you come any further, I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you. Stop. Stop." He finally, he's burning tires, trying to pushing the cars towards me. He puts in reverse, tries to go around my car, sees he can't fit, backs up, turns around, and goes through. There's a white plastic fence there. Drives straight through that white plastic fence. I followed him through it slowly, get out to the intersection, and he's going left on Spring Road. I think that Silver Silver Road. So, I turn left, go after him. He's passing cars, and I get up behind him. We make a ride on the Oak Road. Come over here. We end up over here. We turn into here. We come up this way. I pit him right here, spin him around. He go, we go through this mailbox. I might have ran the mailbox over while I was doing the pit. And he goes back there, bails out. I bail out after him. We go over I think it was one street, jump into someone's backyard, and that's where I got him. >> Do you think he had anything with him? >> He has a know anything on him that he >> I don't know K9's doing a I don't think he did cuz everything was in the truck >> that we know of. >> Yeah, that we know of. >> Okay. >> He don't have a license. If that's his ID card I found in the middle console does not have a license and >> I haven't ran him or nothing. >> Okay. Why don't you sit down for a second? >> I'm good. I'm calm down now. I was when I first got I was in your car in the air condition for just a second. >> I know. I I'm not worried about this one. It just it upset me. I thought he was going to run me over. >> The driver faced multiple charges including fleeing and eluding law enforcement, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, child instrument, possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, possession of a by an unlawful person, and driving without a license.

My mom. >> Okay. >> On August 11th, 2023, police received a call about a family dispute involving a mother and her daughter.
