And I like I couldn't breathe. There was like a physical altercation that occurred between you and them. No, I just disapproved my son. On April 2nd, 2022, officers were dispatched to a remote cabin in Flaggler County, Florida, after receiving a desperate call from three terrified brothers who were on the run from their father. Back there in the woods with you. My dad. Who's in the house? Your dad's in this house or your brother to come up here? Yeah. Tell your brother to come up. You guys just come up here a little bit.

And I and then I got really freaked out because I started like swearing back and forth. And then I like yelled. I was like, "Please stop." And he grabbed me by my neck and picked me up in the air. And I like I couldn't breathe. And then he took me and like swept my feet out and like th me on the floor.

Uh he was rubbing my dad's back and he like grabbed him by his foot and tried to make him like tell a joke or something and he didn't want to say the joke and he was just kept squeezing his foot and he was like I don't care if I break it and he just kept squeezing his foot and he couldn't like he was crying so he couldn't really make out words and then he grabbed me picked him up by his like neck and th messed up. Yeah. I don't think he would appreciate cops being in his in his property. Well, his space, you know, just give him stuff. He doesn't really have a choice at this particular point in time. All right. So, that came from your shirt got ripped. Yeah. He picked me up on my shirt and threw me. I'm going to tell him if he comes out here that it was like a complaint from the neighbors from the I mean, we'll just tell him we we got a a call about, you know, supposedly a concern for the kids here.

And then he started punching the walls and doors and he like closed and slammed the door shut and then he started throwing stuff in his room. He like broke a stool against the door. Okay. Did you see what happened last night? I I think they all they all they all witnessed everything. When speaking with the three boys, officers received detailed statements about what had happened and what had led their father to subject them to such horrific treatment. When they learned he might be armed, they knew they had to act quickly to approach and detain him before anyone else could get hurt. Turn around. Turn all the way around. Do a full 360. Yes. Keep going. No, you got to hold your shirt. Keep holding it and turning. Keep going. All right, you can drop it. Keep your hands in there. Go down to your knees. There you go.

Just letting you guys know. We have our bags and there's a jacket. It's like a Well, we're trying to figure this all out real quick. So, as soon as we figure out what's going on and what we're going to be doing, then we can deal with all that. Okay, everybody needs help, man. They just got to ask for it, you know? And I work every day, man. I live in this little camp with my boys, man. I'm just trying. Work every freaking day. Yeah, it's 7 days a week, man. I'm over tired. I'm overwork. It's It's a lot of things. I just had like 10 people around me last 3 months. You know, work is hard, man. We're short five people at work. Working 7 days a week. I don't get a long over there. I work a couple extra hours. My car breaks. Do you need money help? Do you need, you know, psychological therapy help? I don't need no psychological therapy. So, what's the help that you need? It just stress. Just stress from anger management. Stress management. No. My gosh, this is embarrassing. This is This stress right here makes me nervous like they're going to kick me out. I have nowhere to go. The door on my house is broke. When officers spoke with the father, it quickly became clear that he was trying to portray himself as the victim. But despite his efforts to hide his dark side, the officers saw right through him. And with the children's statements to back it up, they understood just how unfit he truly was as a parent. You're supposed to have him on your day. and she refused to give them. Start a log. Okay. Take her back to family court. Say, "Judge, I'm supposed to have her Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, all your phone conversations with her, text messages." It doesn't work. I did that. I kept the log book. I can only tell you what what I know. I don't know your situation. Unfortunately, most of the times you're going to need an attorney because they can usually attorney just James Evans off of Daytona Beach. Uh, lobster fishing. It's embarrassing. These shorts are super thin. I have no underwear on. Listen, when you do get to jail, they are going to change you out to their clothing for you. Clean, fresh, clean stuff, new stuff. All right. I I know they already had had spoken to you a little bit, but the the reason we got here is there there was a call about, you know, concern for the children's safety that there was like a physical altercation that occurred between you and them. No, I just disapproved my sons. Okay. What did they do that required discipline? I didn't hear that part. Weren't listening. Weren't listening. What were they told to do? Please get some shorts. So, we're not going to put any more clothes on the your hands. I saw that they had some like uh fresh tree work. I used tree work. Was it from punching anything in the house? I already used the same question you're asking. Okay. Who who called the cop the I don't even know that right now. crew called. So last night the kid on the roof, you said you grabbed his shirt because he was slipping. Was he being disciplined at any point last night on the roof of the camper? He was hyperventilating and about to slip and fall off and I grabbed the front of his shirt and sat him down quick. We had a gallon of dish soap on the top clean. It was slippery. If he fell, I I would have fell. We'd have both went right off the side. Okay. So, how did you get him to sit down? How did you have to do that? I just told you. I I didn't know. I grabbed his shirt and sat him down. Pull them down like this or push him down. I mean, like, there's a lot of ways that you can put somebody down. I'm just trying to figure out like I I feel like this used against me. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm just trying to figure out how you say you sat him down. There's a lot of ways like we can set people down. I can push you down. I could just guide you down. I could Lexi, do you put you down? Did my kids call? It had nobody put in as the caller. I don't know. Like we said, we we were right here as soon as the call came out. Which kid was it that wasn't doing the dishes this morning? It was all three of them. It was their dishes. Okay. And one was sitting on the steps and you pulled him up by your shirt. I already answered these questions three times. I feel like you're going to interrogate me and use this against me. So I like said I'm trying I got their side of the story that the the children. I spoke to them, right? So there's always the other side, too. All right. Which kid was it that wasn't doing the dishes today? You said all three. All three of them. I feel like I'm my pants. I'm so sorry. It's distress. How How did his shirt get ripped? Obviously his shirt is ripped. I don't I don't I don't feel comfortable talking. Okay. All right. Well, then I go based off of all I can go based off of is how they told me the incident went down. By this point, the father was beginning to grasp the serious trouble he was in. Yet, he still insisted that he had done nothing wrong and merely disciplined his children. He was he was sitting behind me on the steps and I was talking to him, talking to him. He wasn't listening and he hasn't he's been doing that a while. Doesn't listen. Like, Ryan, I asked you a question. And um I grabbed his shirt. He was leaning back. I pulled it up and uh it was really ripped. It's an old shirt. I pulled him up and said, "Go do the dishes, please. We're not listening. Make your bed and let's wash up and go do something." I'm sorry. That's That's just this stress and anxiety making me throw up and poop my pants. What happened to the wooden stool in there? I don't know. It's like broken. I I just trying to It was broken. It's an old stool. It's an old stool. Okay. I just saw it was on the floor broken in pieces. So, was there anything about a joke? One of them not They are joke, right? saying a joke you wanted him to say. They all joke around. They all joke around. Okay, I'm good. Um, we'll put him in the patrol car. There's some air conditioning back there. No socks, no shoes. They're in the back of my car. Can I hug them, please? They hug me. No, not right now. No, I mean, not today. Right this second. It's not that you'll never be able to. Just right now. No. I don't right now. They're out of view. They can't see you. And I don't want them to see you. So once they are put patrol car, they still can't see you. I don't want them to see handcuffs again. I'll let them It's a traumatic situation. That's why we pull the patrol car down the driveway. They're not going to see anything. That's how it goes. Every time I I've got kids of my own. I will talk to them, explain them. Right now, they're upset. They're scared. They call their cops and they're dead. I don't even know who made the call. This is anonymous call. It came across our office. It can't be anonymous. It was anonymous. The three kids were hiding in the woods and we got here that they said us. That was the call that came across us. All right. No, you can pull the reports, sir. Walk over. I just got to get photos.

You got to show them show them cuz that's the only way things are going to get resolved. If that's really what how you feel and it's the truth then you got to speak up. Silence was silence is never heard and you know I never tell you nothing wrong. And see why he's saying he called the cops on me for having you in my car right now. He's sitting there saying he's not home because they're here. See what I'm saying? Just scared. I don't like that. He just told me not to tell him nothing about this. Huh?

The incident had happened 2 days earlier, but due to shock and anxiety, she hadn't called the police until the family friend explained to her that silence is never the solution. Is that your dad's brother? I meant sister. Oh, no. Okay. Okay. Did he tell you what he did to her? Oh, yeah. What? What did he tell you?

All right. The family friend told officers that the father had verbally admitted to what he had done to his daughter. This meant that even before speaking with the father, the officers already had two sources of evidence pointing toward him as the violent suspect. Well, let's see if he'll come to the door. Say what?
