Stop. Stop. >> Oh my god. You know, step in front of me and I said, "Well, I I I don't like what you're wearing." >> On November 17th, 2024, officers were dispatched to a Panera Bread after reports of a disturbance. What began as a verbal outburst quickly escalated when a woman became aggressive toward a couple, all because she disapproved of what they were wearing. Hi, Alexandra. >> Hi. >> How's it going? I just got to have a couple of words with you real quick. Okay. >> Sure. Go ahead. >> Okay. >> So, here's the situation. Okay. So, yesterday you had an incident air. Correct. Right. >> So, due to that there are charges for batteries that are placed against you. >> Against me. >> Against you. Okay. So, what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to place you under arrest for battery. That being said, I will be more than happy to read your Miranda rights now before I do any other further questioning. >> Are you good with discussing this in front of your husband? >> Of course. >> Okay. Okay. >> You're trying to arrest me. >> So, the person that you made contact with the >> Did you know what he did? >> Watch I watched the video cuz there's videos of it. Okay. >> Right. >> There's videos of it. And then we also have video footage of the female manager who had video recording inside the Panera. Okay. So, per their manager and per the video that we watched, okay, it shows you as the initial compressor. Okay. >> I didn't do anything. I I I just just he he he just just, you know, stepped in front of me and I said, "Well, I I I don't like what you're wearing." >> We have more than we'll be going back to the PD and I will have more than we'll have further discussion on it. Okay. But if you don't want to speak further, I can read you Miranda rights now and then we can do it again at the PD. If you don't want to give any further statement on it now, that's fine. But >> can you can you say what what actually happened or what the video shows? So, the video shows an altercation between your wife and a male party who is in between his wife who is recording your wife due to her actions that happened at the >> No, her wife was was recording. >> Recording you? Yes. Correct. >> So, I I said stop recording because I'm talking to him. I didn't attack her. I didn't I didn't I didn't >> Did you attempt Did you attempt to grab the phone? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, she's allowed to record you. It's a public area. So it's as much unfortunate as it is, you're allowed to record people at a public area. Okay? So you can't be grabbing people's phones. Okay? >> I did answer. I understand. Okay? So again, just for the sake of everything right now, I'm going to read you I'm going to read you your Miranda rightites. Okay. After that, we are going to be placing you under arrest for battery. Okay. >> What What do you mean? >> We're going to be placing you under arrest for battery. >> What does this mean? >> Okay. So in the city of Illinois, a battery is anything. I'm going to go through you'll be transporting to the Johnsboro Police Department. We will be booked and processed. Okay. >> So just right off the bat, you have the right to remain silent. Any statement you just need an acknowledgement on I understand that you're saying do you understand the right? >> No. I I really I I will in layman's terms just in regards just in regards to this in layman's terms. Okay, >> you have the right to an attorney. Okay, you do not have to give a statement. >> How do I get attorney, you know, I I never was in in the in the problem with with the law. So, if you do not have an attorney, >> he you know, this guy attacked me. And >> if you don't, if you if you do not have an attorney, we can find an attorney for you >> right now. >> If you know of an attorney, if you would like, >> well, does she need one? >> That is up to >> because you started talking and you still didn't tell me what exactly happened. What does the video show? >> The video shows that your wife attempts to take a phone from a female. The husband of that female gets in between them because she does he does not want her to be taking the phone at that point. >> He was between us. He was all the time >> and I understand that because he did not want you taking his wife's phone. Okay. >> No, there was a small tussle >> because in the video it shows you looking like you're about to throw coffee, >> but I didn't. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Okay. The coffee was not spilled on that person, >> right? However, >> the coffee was spilled on me. However, however, after you had the tussle with the coffee, you made contact with the left side of his face. You swung at his You swung at his face. >> He He did because he threatened me. Did Did she show you that? He Yes, he he said, "I'm going to hit you. I'm going to hit you. I'm going to hit you." >> You said several times that you were going to hit him. >> No, I'm going to hit you. >> Okay. So, again, that's essentially what happened. She made contact with the left side of his face. Okay. No, I I want to see that video because I was so nervous that I I I just don't and that's fine. You have a right to see that video. I'm just telling you from what we've watched, >> that is what happened. Okay? And the video and the manager of the Panera who reviewed their video footage informed me that you were the one that started the altercation between the two. Okay? So, again, my main question at this point, because I read you your rights, I want to make sure that you understand. Okay? here. You know, just for sake of transparency, I have the video. This is on social media. This is on an app called Reddit. Okay. So, I'm going to This is just from the beginning of what they did. Oh my god. Like I said, I just show I'm just showing you all this transparency publicly available. Okay. Heat. I understand. But the problem is is this whole alleging that you and pardoned my language, but this is what they claim you said that you walked up to them and said [ __ ] Palestine because they had the word Palestine in the back of their jack uh their shirt. That is what provocated this. That's what would make this you the primary aggressor on this. >> Can I say what? Why are you making this political statement? But the point the point being is that's what started all >> they can say kill the Jews and and we cannot >> I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with that. We are not taking any political stance on anything that's happening right now. The only thing that we are here to discuss is the battery that occurred at Panera. >> So you you you see that that he was he was pushing he was pushing me all the time. If he would just just let me go it it it would just be over. So again I >> freedom of speech right? There is freedom of speech in this country. So so they can say I can say >> and again I'm not taking anything away from your civil rights. I'm not saying anything against their civil rights. The only thing that we are here to discuss right now is the battery and disorderly conduct that occurred at the murder. Okay. The reason I read you Miranda rights is because if you do >> are you going to arrest him? That that is my question because he he was he was actually charging at me. I I just said I I I can send her what whatever I want. But but he was charging at me and he said, "Yeah, I'm I'm gonna hit you. I'm gonna hit you." I I felt threatened. He he he terrorized. >> So at what time did he say he was going to hit you? Because if it was during that video >> Oh, she I'm I'm sure she she she got rid of this. I I was I was wondering if that's why I So did that occur prior to you pointing at them and saying what you said? or did it happen after the fact in between >> after after um you know at some point we were already you know like like in in this agreement so so I just you know I don't know exact moment but but I I I know we were like in um I think he I don't know if it was before or or after he poured the coffee on me but but he he threatened me I I I swear I mean it doesn't matter >> so again I just want to clarify cuz I want to make sure that it's for our purposes and for the purposes further. >> Did you understand what I explained? >> I did. >> Okay. Can you explain it to her so that way she would understand it? >> Well, don't say anything anymore. You read you the rights that you have the right to the attorney and you don't have to say anything whether you be guilty or not guilty. You don't have to say, okay, because they're going to use everything against you. >> Injustice. Well, it is injustice obviously, but that's how they do stuff. So >> So again, I've read you your Miranda rights. I will do so again once we get back to the police department. Okay. At this time though, okay, whatever belongings that you do not want coming with you, I suggest you leave with your husband. We will then have to place you under arrest and we'll be taking you back to the police department. >> Can I go with her or >> You can go to the PD. You can't go with her in one of our squads, but you're more than welcome to go to the station. >> Why don't you give your husband your purse? I mean, you don't need it. I do need it. >> Okay, that's fine if you want to bring it. >> If you want to bring it. It's just like I said, it's just if it's extra stuff if you don't want. >> Well, then doesn't she need like ID and stuff? Because then you're going to ask for ID and she won't have ID. So then you're going to say like all you have already have her identification. >> So they So the people basically copied the license plate. That's how this thing started. I mean, how did they know her name and address and everything and suddenly four cops show up here? So we were able to get her information um >> via our computer. >> Okay. But computer is not so smart. Somebody had to input the information in the computer. So I'm asking >> So a third party person a third party person informed us of her information. >> What I think just take the wallet so they won't accuse you that you're walking around without ID. You guys seem to really I mean >> don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say >> don't say anything. >> All right. So, ma'am, we do have to put you in handcuffs. Okay. >> We won't we will not put you in the squar car until your husband returns. If that'll make you feel more comfortable. Okay. But for for the purposes of this incident >> for for Did you arrest him? I I want to see him arrested for for what he did. I still have coffee on on my I was looking at this. My my hair was wet, but I know. But had you not had you not made the comment that you made and kept on going on with it >> because he he he if he wouldn't react, you know how many people attack me. Okay. Because he has silly accent or something. So I I'm going to go after them. >> I can't make any comment on that, man. I'm not in your shoes. The only thing that we can make comments on are what we know. And if what you're telling me is the truth, that if someone makes fun of your comment, you or your your accent and you don't do anything about it, I applaud you for your restraint. The problem is is in this situation, you were the one who made the initial contact between that couple and yourself by the comment that you made and that devolved the situation into where we're at now. >> But I look like like a offender or or something. I I I just go after my life. people wait I mean the there is there's so much you know wrong going on in the world and the the people who are really attacking others and I I just because I I made some comment and and uh and he he reacted he actually reacted okay he he could say I I don't know >> ma'am just due to the circumstances of this because you have been because you have been identified as the main aggressor in this situation you attempted He grabbed his wife's phone out of his hand, which she's allowed to do. >> And I understand it's frustrating, but >> he is she is not I mean, because I I knew if if she she's going to probably delet the video where where he was the the you know, aggressor. >> And if that's if that is the case, then that will be the state's attorney's job to figure that out. What we're going to do is to make it more comfortable for you, I will cuff you in front. So it will not be behind your back, it'll be in front. Okay. So, the other officer here will hold on to your property. >> Okay. >> And just put your hands kind of like we have to hold on to it because we've had people call and record with phones in the past. So, we have to put the stuff in the front of the car. >> Well, so much she's recording is if she was recorded in Panera and you're saying it's it's perfectly legal. So, it's like double standard now. >> Well, we're actually recording in the car itself. But like it's just our policy that I know I'm making sure of the vehicle. >> Oh my god. Where's my phone? >> I have it right here. Right here. >> You will allow you to talk to your daughter as soon as she gets. Okay. This is so much else. >> And just so you know, ma'am, there's a camera on in there. >> That's good. That's good. I'm not going to do anything. I'm not I need to I need to contact my daughter. I don't have anyone else here. >> Okay. I will make sure that you >> She's really sick. She needs my attention. I don't want to make her even more feel even worse. Oh my god. Why are you guys doing this? I really didn't do anything. You know what? I never had any anything any I mean I'm just citizen law abiding citizen here. I didn't come here to to you know to make some crimes like a lot of people do. And I got I got actually you know really harassed like I'm not a friend. I I I never did anything wrong. I mean, I have no record, guys. I'm just just, you know, wife and mother. I'm like, where is freedom of speech? You know, that that that's I mean, if he would wouldn't attack me, I I and his wife was and she was actually taping me. Well, I was trying today. I mean, I I can't be, you know, shaken, right? because he he started attacking me and you really can do with me anything what you want because I I don't know my rights. I I'm not, you know, career um offender or something. So I I have no idea what my rights are. Especially he was an offender. Oh my god.
