He's over. He's my husband. No. No. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Stop. >> On March 20th, 2023, Key West turned into the stage for chaos when officers raced to a domestic dispute unfolding in public view. What began as a night out spiraled into violence caught on camera. An alleged chokeold, bystanders rushing to intervene, and a woman's desperate cries to save the man she loves.

So, if that didn't happen, then great, right? >> Okay. >> So, we have to investigate it. I hope that it didn't happen. I hope that everything that they've told me is just a big misunderstanding and that nothing happened. Okay. So, Who is that? >> The cops are talking to me. >> From the moment the officer encountered the girl, it was clear she had one goal, getting away from cops. Each step she took came with resistance. Every word coated in defiance. Yet despite the chaos, the officer managed with a steady mix of professionalism and unexpected compassion, keeping control without escalation. >> Who is that? >> Is that your boyfriend? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Ask him to come down here so we can get this resolved, please. >> He doesn't want to. He just told me [ __ ] you. >> Okay. So, that was nice of him. What is your name?

So um Cynthia what is your date of birth? >> 791. >> And where's where is your ID from out of >> like what what what state? Florida. Is that where you're from? Miami. >> Yes. I'm from >> Okay. Not not quite yet. Are who are you in town with besides your boyfriend? I went with my boyfriend. >> Just your boyfriend?

I don't know where you are. >> I can't find you if you don't tell me where you are. Send Send me a pin so I can find you. Send me the pin so I can find you. Send me I didn't do anything to you. You hit me and everybody saw me where you are. Please send me where you are so I can find you. Okay. Drop me a pin so I can find you. Please drop me a pin so I can find you. I'm trying to help you, but I can't help you if you don't tell me where you are. She cried like she was masking deeper trauma, waving the officers off, hoping they would simply go away. But they weren't leaving without answers. Her energy shifted between shielding her boyfriend. The same man belittling her in real time and crumbling under her own contradictions. To the officers, she denied any violence. Yet moments later on the phone, she confessed exactly that. >> I'm trying to help you. Drop me a pin where you are. Drop me a pin. Drop me a pin on where you are. Please drop me a pin where you are, please. >> Okay. What's your boyfriend's name? >> What's your boyfriend's name? You're not. You're not. You're not rich. Hello. >> There's cops talking to me right now. >> There is There's cops. Brian, I am talking to an officer. I am talking to an officer. If you don't tell me where you are, I cannot help you. No, I want to help you so I we can go home. Draw me a pin of where you are. >> No, he's not going to arrest you. I'm going to be nothing. I want to find where you are. Drop. >> Okay. So, let me go find you. Okay. So, let draw me a pin where you are so I can help you. Okay. Please drop me a pin. I don't know where you left me. Just drop me a pin. Why is that so hard? Just drop me a pin. What's wrong with you? Just drop me a pin so I can help you. Please. Drop me a pin of where you are. I'm not going to [ __ ] find you. That's it. >> So, his name is Ryan. >> Ryan. >> Okay. Why don't we go over here? So, it's that we won't be in the direct wind, just around this building over here. That's where my patrol car is. And then the the building will help shield us. >> That's why I called an officer down here and they didn't send anybody because she was getting assaulted and I needed to report it and they I called non-emergency and and they didn't send anybody. And I'm like, what they didn't send anybody? >> I asked for an officer to come down and there was nobody to press charges. So, like she ran off. So, and I >> No, no, no. We got her out there. >> No, no, I know. This is before >> like 30 minutes ago before she got hit like abused in the back alley. She had already been hit >> and then she had gone in the back the back alley and that's when he abused her again. Apparently, it's like uh her husband or something like that. She kept saying I was like, "I'm calling the cops because you've been attacked." And she's like, "No, no, no. It's my husband. It's my husband." >> 1097 signal 14. You you guys weren't able to get any of the video. >> Even after enduring abuse just minutes earlier, she still tried to shield her boyfriend as if he deserved her loyalty. He spoke to her with the arrogance of a ruler dismissing a servant. Yet, she clung to his side. Strikingly, the strangers who had witnessed her mistreatment showed more concern for her well-being than she herself seemed willing to. >> Um, not that I know of. It was all off camera as far as I know. >> [ __ ] Yeah. >> Okay. [ __ ] >> So, so you called 30 minutes ago and they said they couldn't send anybody or anybody called before >> and uh so there's video of this right here where he says he uh stopped the guy. >> I mean there's a bunch of I mean there's a bunch of available officers. I'm surprised they [ __ ] said they weren't able to send anybody. I called non-emergency. They have that on file. I told them my name, everything. I told them that somebody got abused on our property, but they ran off, but they still didn't send anybody down here. >> And then I called again. >> Hello. >> And I'm like, I need an officer down here. >> Huh? >> I'm not good at working this camera. >> We uh like I said, we got another out there with with the female. We had a She looks [ __ ] familiar. She looks like a local. >> Ray, you have an Ray. Can you come help me with this camera? I don't know how to rip it. >> I got it. >> Um, this 3:00. >> What was the time? >> Uh, 2:25. >> That's why I didn't want to dunk it out. >> Oh, no. Ray, I'm not going. Can you can you shut up for one second? >> Casey, uh, we're trying to get out of here. >> Whatever. >> All right, Casey, I need you out there, please. On the floor. >> Um, Casey, >> I got you. Can you tell the DJ upstairs 310 done? >> Yeah. >> Where is that at? >> You know, blocking the property. Okay. So, I was in the office. I heard her scream out here and then these dudes are tussing back here. And uh >> I say 120, right? >> Uh yeah, I should have thought that on this one, I think. I had black and white. So, so who's all back there? Just a group of guys and the female. >> Look, investigations don't move without evidence. And the officers knew that. So, they made the call to pull the CCTV footage. That was the game changer move. The tape was about to show who was actually guilty and how this circus even started. At that point, everyone knew the camera didn't lie and it was about to snatch somebody's story apart. >> So, supposed to be the the dude was choking her out and Red um wouldn't help him when help him wouldn't went and got him off her and that's when all that happens from what I understand. Well, I don't know really. I guess he was in there. >> That's all we got to see. This is a black and white camera. >> See this Jason looking at >> I see you have something more important going on. >> So, wait. So, who's that right there? Uh they that pulled him off. Uh Justin, [Music] >> what the [ __ ] is that? [Applause] >> Oh, Dustin's that dude with the beard and the hat, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Oh, that a boy. >> Yeah. >> And that's the female freaking out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The guy above me right now. >> Oh [ __ ] The guy's here. Okay. Um, ask him where you [Applause] >> just intoxicated. We We live in Miami. We're both bartenders. We We deal with intoxicating people all the time. >> Okay. I do too. I do, too. >> We're We're We're I'm 31 years old. So is he. We're grown-ups. Okay. We We We don't do this. Okay. I'm sorry. >> So So listen, you don't have to be sorry. Okay. It's important that we that we talk to him, though. What's his phone number? >> I I'm getting wet. >> Okay. You can stand over here. It's It's from the It's dripping. So, just stand right here cuz it's dripping off the ceiling. So, his phone number is 305. >> Mhm. >> I'm trying to get it. Seven. >> So, what's his last name? Ryan. What? >> Uh uh. Welp. Meanwhile, officers gathered evidence with steady precision, every step by the book. The girl, on the other hand, tried to downplay the situation, acting as if none of it was serious. Yet, her tears betrayed the truth. In trying so hard to defend her boyfriend, she wasn't just shielding him. She was doing an injustice to herself. >> What? Delby. >> Yeah. >> Do you have it like written somewhere? W >> U >> U >> A >> A >> del P >> D >> Yeah. D L P Like that. >> D L B >> Yeah. P >> like that. >> P Y. Yeah. This is Italian. >> So W u A D L P Y. >> Yeah. >> And do you know what his birthday is? >> I don't know his birthday. I think it's like March something.

He's just He's just drunk. >> What color? >> What did they say to you? >> Copy. >> Okay, we're going to we're going to walk over here. Okay. >> Okay. >> Huh? [Applause] [Music] >> Can we get one more back here? >> Listen, we're talking to him right now. Okay, we're talking right now. Okay, listen. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Please, please stay back. >> Thank you, man. >> I have no record. I'm not >> I'm not saying you I'm not saying you have a record. Please. Please don't go over there.

Let this play through, okay? >> It's not going to help if you guys are going back and forth at each other, okay? >> The boyfriend finally stepped into the scene, eager to push his version of events. Meanwhile, our lovestricken woman wept over him, not like a 31-year-old facing reality, but like a teenager clinging to first heartbreak. Even with witnesses against them, she kept our Lady stance rooted in denial, blind loyalty outweighing the truth in front of her. didn't do anything wrong. Relax. Stop. Stop. >> Stop. Just >> Just relax right here. Just relax right here for me. Okay. Just relax right here for me. All right. >> So, Josh was there or Jason, he wasn't there. That's your girlfriend.

I was completely blacked out. >> Okay. >> I had I didn't see his face until I woke up from black out. >> Okay. Okay. >> So, what did you black out from? A strike? Uh, were you choked?

When I woke up, he had me at a show called I never saw his face until I woke up from people I know. >> Okay. Okay. Well, if you if you want to Who is this guy? Who is he? >> Um I can't give you his information. >> So, he's nobody. >> Officers were gathering accounts from witnesses. accounts that were painful to hear. They described how he attacked her and how a stranger stepped in to protect her by fighting him off. The boyfriend, however, flipped the script, painting himself as the victim. But with so many voices and so much proof stacked against him, his version was not going to last. >> He's nobody. He's somebody that felt the right to take justice. It's >> not right. It's not right. >> So, who is this? This female over here, who is she to you? >> This is my girlfriend. >> That's your girlfriend? time. We're about to get into our marriage. >> Okay. >> Do you guys live together? >> We're about to live together.

Uh, mother, I'm going to go talk to her here in a second. I'm But no, I'm just asking you these questions. So, >> this guy, if he put me into a blackout, and if I need to do push charges, he had no right to do that. >> Okay. He has no right to do that. Who is he? Is he a security guard? >> He is not a security guard. So I have every right to push charges and I will. So get his name. >> Okay. >> I have the information. Relax. >> Good. That's fine. >> Give me Listen, I woke up drinking water from the pavement. >> Okay. I I woke up drinking water from the [ __ ] pavement because Is he a cop? >> Is this guy? >> Don't put your hands on me. Put your hands on. >> I was trying to be your direction. >> He's not a cop. >> He's not a cop. He has no right to do that to you. >> Okay. >> So, I want to I I want to push charges. >> I'm waiting for one more to get here so he can hang out with you and I'm going to go talk to her and I'm going to see I'm going to get hers. Yeah. >> No, not a supervisor. This is another office. >> I want a supervisor. >> You want a supervisor? >> Yes. >> For what reason? >> Because he has no right to put me into that position. >> Okay. I want to get things right. I want to get things right. Yeah. Yeah. No. Of course. I want to get things right. Of course. Of course. So, please get a supervisor here so we can trigger it up. >> Cynthia. The supervisor is coming here. >> Hey. Hey, brother. >> The supervisor is coming. >> Yo, >> do me a favor. Don't talk to her. I got to talk to everybody separately. >> This is my wife. I'm about to make her my fiance. >> I'm about to make her my fianceé. I get that. I'm >> You can't tell me, but I can't see them. >> Uh, I can. And if you continue to refuse my >> best, Hey, I got you. I got you. I got your right in this vicinity. >> He's going to stay. >> Listen, I'm giving you a legal order. Listen to me. Listen to me. Look at this. >> Look at this. You see this? >> It's fine. You see this? >> I see that. I see that. Yeah. >> Okay. I'm sure you [ __ ] see that. >> Damn sure you see that. >> Am I cussing you? Why does that mean better? >> What does that mean? >> No, because you're neglecting what I'm saying. >> I'm No, I'm listening to what you're saying. I'm recording what you're saying. >> Had me sleeping, sipping the the paper for water, for oxygen. Okay. You were going to put me in that position. >> He painted himself as the victim of the year, shifting all the blame onto the stranger who had stepped in to protect the girl, demanding a supervisor like he was some wronged celebrity. He played the part with conviction. Yet, the irony was clear. While he fought to spin the spotlight, he never once bothered to explain the very issue that started it all. >> I did everything right. I'm I'm >> keep eyes on him, not me. Eyes on you. >> Put your hands up. Put your hands on me again. I'm going to put my hands on you. You're not going to like that. >> Okay. So, keep your eyes on you. Not me. >> I got his ID. He ain't going nowhere. That's all I need to do. >> My bad. I apologize. I apologize. I apologize. >> You got to calm down, man. I ain't [ __ ] you. Don't [ __ ] me. >> Just like I'm aggravated because this [ __ ] put me to sleep, bro. >> I get that. I get that. >> Look at my neck, dog. >> Thank you. I didn't do anything wrong, bro. You really did. I'm I'm a hostile. I I never said you're a bad guy. >> I never said you're a bad guy. >> Oh, perfect. >> You want a supervisor? There's a supervisor. Go talk to him. >> Right there. Uh, can you sit with him for a second? I got to speak with her. Rev. Nice to meet you. So you got put to sleep. I don't know why. I'm the only one. >> So what happened? Me and my wife got into an altercation for no reason. The bouncer authority back. Okay. >> Got busted up. >> I'm sorry. Got busted up for no reason. Got busted up for no reason. >> I did nothing about >> Dude, if if if we thought that you did something wrong right now, you'd be in handcuffs, right? >> But the thing is, these guys are looking for no reason. Okay. And that's what And that's what we're trying for. That's what we're trying to find. >> Listen, I went I went to school for public safety. >> I'm on your side. I Listen, man. I'm on your side. I swear to God. >> Listen, I'm telling you. Okay. If we thought that there was something inappropriate going on, you would have you would have already been in handcuffs, right? And you're not. So, we're trying to figure out what's going on so we can get to the bottom of it. >> That's what that's what he's doing over there. >> Okay. Yeah. >> So, what we like to do is we like to have everybody separated so that way we can talk. This way we can get all the stories and all the facts because what happens is when everybody's together, then everybody starts. >> When the sergeant showed up, he admitted they'd been fighting. Progress, at least on paper. But almost in the same breath, he doubled back, insisting he'd done nothing wrong. It was classic cherry-picking, serving the parts of truth that suited him while leaving out the rest. The officers weren't buying it. Every contradiction was being logged in real time. >> I'm a man of my word. >> I've always been a man of my word. >> Regardless if I'm under the influence or not. >> Yeah. >> I speak the truth. >> Okay. I appreciate that. >> Apparently, I'm >> do >> cuz not everybody does. >> So, we're going to these monsters say that works for $15 an hour. So, I know you guys draw a straight line >> and so do I and I respect that. And when I I tell you what happened, >> I respect I expect the same response. >> Yeah. You get >> So So you got into an altercation you said, right? And the Bowser started jumping on me and the woman. >> Was it a Was it a phys was it a physical altercation or was it >> This guy had me a choke cold and I was sleeping in the water >> and I'm going to talk to him and I'm going to talk >> and I'm going to talk to him in a second. >> You are going to sir. Sir, >> look at me. Look at me. >> Hey, don't worry about it. opinion and we're going to talk to him too. So, okay. So, you got into a physical altercation. >> So, you got into a physical altercation you said or did you get into a physical altercation or like what kind of altercation was it? >> No, we were just we were just talking. We were just talking. Okay. We were just talking. >> So, you were talking >> and then that's when everything happened. Last thing I know, this guy has visual life out because >> I'm going to push. I'm going to push. >> That's fine. He's uh he's talking to her now. guy has he is not secure but he is >> okay. So we have we have them talking to her so they can find out what's going on with her. >> I will take the right steps to make sure justice is >> perfect. So just hang on just one second. And then can you talk to that guy right there? >> Okay. You already got everything. Did Did Where did it happen at? >> This happened behind back there. I got I got to talk to people. >> Okay. And Okay. And you talk to her. The guy still tried to keep things low, swearing there was no physical altercation between them. But his girlfriend's tearked face told a story his words couldn't erase, he kept circling back to cast the stranger as the villain, repeating his monologue of being the victim. His performance only made it harder for officers to untangle fact from fiction. >> Okay, I'll get the get get that first. Okay. I want to hang out. >> I'm hanging out. Are we She already has all got your information. Now he's gone back to see some video footage to what? In the back of the building. >> Yeah. >> They have there's footage. So he's going to go he's going to go look at the footage. Officer, you're going to stay right there. All right. Okay. Well, then if there is footage, then it's going to be able to show what it is. [Applause] You see my se, right? >> I'm not a hostile. >> I didn't say you were. >> I I'm very I'm a good dude, bro. I promise you. When I woke up, my face is Okay. >> I ever seen in my life. >> All right. Stop facing him and stop pointing at him because all he's doing is aggravating you more. Right. >> So, he's right behind me. I can't turn my back to >> I'm right here. He's not doing anything. Sir, he's been he's been sitting there the entire time. Okay, >> so just take it easy. I don't know. >> Seems like a local. >> He might be. I don't know everybody that lives here though. We have 25,000 people that are that live here permanently and then we have about 50 and then we have about 50 to 75,000 that transit through here. just transient through like people with smoke burns, things like that, people that come forward at the time. >> The man flipped real quick once he learned the back of the building had cameras. Shock flashed across his face like this was news he hadn't factored into his story. Suddenly, the hostility vanished, replaced with a goofy gentleman act, as if politeness could rewrite the footage, but evidence doesn't bend to vibes. Innocent, you walk. Guilty, you pay. All of those and all of those people. >> Please don't do anything to him. >> Just relax. Just relax. >> What happened to your ID? Like your purse and stuff? >> He hasn't. Yeah, >> he he has Okay, relax. Just stay here. Just stay here, please. >> I didn't do anything. I know you didn't do anything, okay? I'm not saying you did anything wrong, okay? >> So, just stay right stay right here for me, okay? They want to blame me like I did something. I didn't do anything. They called the cops. I did not. >> I know. I know. I know. >> I would never do that. >> I know. How long have you guys been dating? Why you want to give your opinion, too? Because everybody seems to give their opinion, too. >> I'm just asking. How long have you guys been dating? >> A year. >> A year? Okay. >> And do you guys normally fight or is this the first fight? >> No, we normally fight. >> You do? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, I have to break up. >> Now, listen, everybody fights. Every couple's, you know, getting in disagreements from time to time, right? It's normal. >> I'm not stupid. >> What's that? >> I'm not stupid. >> I know you're not stupid. [Applause] >> So, where are you guys staying while you're here? Park the motel. Hotel. >> Do you know what it's called? >> I don't know. >> Can I see what's called? >> No. No. No. No. No. No. Just stay right here. No. >> Please. >> Just stay right here. Please. Just stay right here. >> I don't want this to happen to him. >> Just relax. Just relax. Okay. Look. Right now, Officer Perez is just talking to me, okay? Like I was talking to you earlier, okay? That's all that's happening right now. Okay? Nobody's jumping the gun to anything. I didn't press charges. I didn't call the call. >> I know. I know. >> I didn't call the car. >> I know. I know. >> I need you guys to tell them that. >> Just just just relax. >> Just relax. Just relax. What's up? >> Yeah, we're good. >> Still defending her boyfriend, clinging to him like denial could erase the bruises from her story. The trauma was plain as day, written in her tears and broken words. But only she could choose to take a stand. The officer stayed calm, patient, and steady, handling chaos not with emotion, but with training. Glory. [Applause] >> Baby, I'm a [ __ ] loser. >> You're not a loser. You're not You're not a loser. Jesus Christ. >> You're not a loser. Okay. me off. >> I didn't say anything. I didn't do anything. Relax. >> I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. >> Don't listen to what he says.

It may seem like it's taking a long time, but there's a reason why we do the things we do. Okay? So, just let us know this whole scenario. >> Stay here.

If if if that's all it was, then just a verbal fight, then okay. >> He's a he's my husband. >> Honestly, it was pitiful and infuriating at the same time watching her cry and beg like a teenager. Love matters, sure, but girl, your own worth matters more. No relationship should drag you down this far. At some point, you've got to realize that saving yourself is more valuable than anything in the world. >> Understand that? So, okay, start to finish. What happened? You got >> nothing. He's my husband. We got into a fight. I want to be with my husband. Tell me what to do. >> I can't tell you what to do when I'm investigating the crime. >> Okay. Nothing happened. >> Okay. I got video footage. Hang out here with Officer Andrade. We're going to try to figure this out. Okay. Just give me one second. Okay. Let me talk to him real quick. So, >> okay. So, while she was on the phone, she said you hit everybody. So is there is there so yeah um he said that he was beat up this guy with a beard. I saw the video footage. He had her in a corner was holding a choker. Um this guy with the beard comes out of nowhere grabs him slams him and like the guy tried to fight him. So the guy in the guy in the beard he's over here. He put him in a choke pool to sleep you know and then um he was defending her. I'm going to definitely tempt this guy. Um, she's confusing. >> No, she she she's that's why that's why. >> Yeah, good. You said come over here. I was like, what's going on? Um, he she say that he has her ID as well. >> Oh, you got them? >> Yeah, I got them both and then I got the other guy's ID. Let me uh let me um add him with a call and then we'll go from there. Yeah, I'm going to be There's no off Latina and him. >> So, did you guys yell at each other? >> Yeah, that's all that happened. But it wasn't nothing serious. >> Did you guys push each other? >> Like we were maybe. Yeah, but it wasn't nothing crazy. It was just >> ready. >> Oh, thank you so much. >> I got I got her phone number for you. >> I heard I look like um the Kardashians. >> No. Yeah, you do. >> Which one do I look like? >> Um I don't know. >> The I don't know. I don't know their name. >> Do you know where where they're staying? >> Where you staying at? >> She said she wasn't sure. I mentioned the seashells. She said that sounded familiar. We're fine. >> So, okay. I'm going to ask you. I need you to be honest with me. Earlier earlier when you were talking on the phone with with Ryan, you said you hit me and everybody saw. What was that about? >> What happened with that? >> The police kept working hard trying to piece this case together and make sure no one was left hurt. But the girl didn't even want to fight for herself. just begged to go home again and again. The guy called her his girlfriend. She called him her husband. At that point, it was clear they didn't even know what they were to each other. >> Did he hit you? >> Okay. But you said that exact sentence. You said, "Ryan, you hit me and everybody saw that." So [ __ ] broke. I know. I said that because I was mad, but >> Okay. And so explain to me the part where he said you guys were pushing each other. >> We just shot each other, but we didn't hit each other. >> Okay. >> So, did they hit each of you first or you first? >> No. No. >> Who shot who first? >> I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. You know, you know, >> you mean I have two domestic violences on my record. >> You have what? >> I have domestic violence on my record. >> I'm going to be honest. Yeah, that's that's fine. >> So, I can't do this. >> You can't do what? >> Like, go through this again. It's [ __ ] traumatic for me. >> So, please. >> So, you mean you've been a victim of domestic violence before? >> Is that what you mean? >> I just don't want to go through this again. Please. So, was it with him, the domestic violence? So, was there someone else? >> Yeah. >> You were the victim? >> Yeah, but they found me guilty for it and then I don't want to go through that again because I'm traumatized. >> I I understand. So, did you as far as I understand and I don't know the whole story, but as far as I understand, you didn't like attack him or anything. >> Oh, right. >> No. But but he >> attacked you. >> No, he just >> he just what? >> He just verbally said something to each other. >> Okay. So So just so you know, in this building there's all kinds of cameras. You see like right there? >> See that little bubble? >> Uhhuh. >> They're all over the entire bar area and all the bars. >> So there's video that Officer Perez saw of the incident. He's like, "Yeah, >> he's seen it. I haven't." >> So, why don't you fill me in on what he saw in that video? >> Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. >> Thank you. >> Can I order my boyfriend? >> Just Just stay here, please. >> You can Why don't you put your >> Yeah. So, you don't lose it. >> You have my B. Can I ask you? I don't have your face. No. >> Oh, he has no keep inching your way forward. Please come come over here. So, not right now. Okay. >> Do anything wrong. I promise. If you were to do anything wrong, I would have called the cop. >> Okay. >> Cuz I've been in domestic violence situation. >> This is what I think. Okay. >> Okay. >> I think that that yeah, something happened and he put his hands on you. She scrambled to take back her words, desperate to prove he never laid a hand on her. But her story was so shattered, it barely held together. Watching her acting like this was enough to boil anyone's blood. The line between love and desperation blurred beyond recognition. Even with all the proof stacked against him, she still tried to play the night for her so-called husband. >> And you love him and you don't want him to get in trouble. >> That's what I think. And I can tell you this, I don't know you and I don't know him, but even without knowing you guys, I know that you didn't deserve >> that. You don't deserve for anybody to put their hands on you. >> So am I right? >> No. So remember, we have everything on video. Can you pull your hair back? >> Okay. >> I need to look at your face. >> It's my boyfriend. You didn't do anything wrong to me. >> Ma'am, I need to see your neck and make sure everything's okay. I need to make sure you don't have any injuries. >> I don't have any injuries. >> Okay. Well, then let me check so I can verify any injuries. >> Okay. Well, then let me check so I can verify. >> I'm fine. >> I'm fine. Yeah, >> there's nothing wrong with me. Okay. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Okay, thank you. >> No, no problem. It's okay. That's fine. >> Okay. Thank you. No problem. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have to >> You don't have to be sorry. It's okay. You have nothing to be sorry. >> I'm sorry. >> I know this is a very difficult situation. >> Sorry, the gentleman at the bar. I need the um I'll tell you what I need here in a second. >> Yeah. >> And then uh you're here. So would we consider you one of those as well? >> Because this is the first time I've ever just because just because somebody's here doesn't make them a drug addict, alcoholic and all that other saw where he went. I know where he went. I saw [Applause] even if there is I'm saying [Applause] so Okay. Okay. But listen to what I'm telling you. Even if he wanted to run, it doesn't matter because at that point, we have his information. We know who he is. Okay? It's the same thing with you right now. If you wanted to run, >> but I'm saying if you did, >> then all we're going to do is come get you later. >> All this information is nothing. You can go to my address. Why is your address not valid on your hand anyway? She kept clinging to her mission of saving him. Even as officers gently tried to make her see her own worth, but she held tight to her stance like a drowning soul clutching an anchor. The tragedy? Many never get the help they desperately need. She had it right there. All she had to do was stand up for herself, but love had blinded her. I just made it. Okay. So, you've been So, you've been doing it illegally for up until just now, >> like two more weeks. >> I'm sure if I wanted to find you though, I would have been able to find it. For >> sure. Understand what I'm saying. >> Sir, can you do me a favor? Hold your hands out like that. >> And can you turn around? >> I'm bartender. >> So, that's fine. >> My head can be beat up. >> No, that's fine. All right, sir. Do me a favor. Um, step off the step off the bench. Do me a favor. Turn around. Place your hands on your back. >> No. No. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. >> All right. >> Don't [ __ ] do that.

Just stay right here. >> I'm done. I'm done. When the cuffs finally made their debut, she unraveled with the meltdown of the year. Crying as if he weren't arrested for violence, but honored for some heroic service. Her tears for her abuser painted not love, but obsession. By then, it was hard not to feel they truly deserved each other. >> All right, sir. >> I'm done. I'm done. >> Sir, sir, >> I'm done. >> I didn't. >> Okay. And I'm done because I don't I don't feel like I need to sit here and fight with people over BS. I didn't do it. Okay. Yes, you did. You're doing stuff now. You need to stop, >> please. >> He's going to put you in handcuffs and then you're going to sit down. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I I'll relax. [Music] >> All right. All right. I'll relax.

But you don't act like that. >> I'm sorry. >> Okay. How old are you? >> I'm sorry. >> How old are you? >> I'm sorry. >> How old are you? >> 31. I'm sorry. >> So then act like you're 31. Okay. Because just then you were acting like a 5-year-old. >> Well, I don't want >> Okay. It doesn't matter what you want. Okay. Unfortunately, when somebody breaks the laws, there are consequences. Okay. And right now, what the way you're acting is like a child. Don't act like a child. Act like an adult. Okay. If you do something wrong, you pay you pay the consequence. All right? You learn that in school, right? Did you go to school? >> Then there you go. >> And now you're going to sit here and you're going to calm down. 21 signal 14. I have one more detain. I don't want to die. Our crazy in love diva managed to score matching cuffs with her boyfriend. Talk about couple goals gone wrong. But the real highlight wasn't the bracelets. It was the officer delivering the reality check she desperately needed, reminding her to act her age. It's not your fault. >> Okay. >> Did you Did you Did you end up doing something? Why Why are you Why are you sorry? >> Why are you sorry? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Excuse that. >> What's your fault? >> So, it's your fault that a man put put his hands on you? >> Okay. There's pictures. Bravo. >> There's evidence that shows the otherwise. >> Yes, there is. That's why he's being arrested right now. Oh no. >> Case number 23-1712. >> Huh? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Cuz you don't put your hands on people. >> So why is there pictures that show the otherwise? >> Why is there pictures that show the otherwise? Sir or ma'am, I I really recommend that you end up looking at at a new line of uh of boyfriends or whatever. Husband, is that your husband? >> Keep going. >> No, keep going. Sorry. Okay. Yeah. Just wait over there for a minute cuz I think the other officer's coming right back. Thank you. [Music] >> Where are you guys taking him? >> He's going to the jail. [Music] >> Okay. >> For batteries. [Applause] Hello. >> Hey. [Music] Of what? >> I'll take a look and see. All right. Bye. >> Sit down. >> Can I go? >> Sit down. Not yet. >> The way she talked, half sentences, repeating herself, had cops wondering if she was even stable. She wasn't processing anything. All she cared about was protecting him, even if it meant sinking with the ship. That's how deep the cycle of abuse had her locked in. >> I didn't do anything wrong. I can just go home. I just want me to 7181 or 7121. >> Hey Andrade. >> Andrade. >> Did he leave already? >> He did. >> Okay. What do I do now? >> I'll tell you. >> I'm going to help him. >> Why do you want to help him? >> He's my boyfriend. >> But he put his hands on you. >> Is that the kind of relationship you want to be able to stay in? That's not a healthy relationship. >> I don't know what I am supposed to do now. >> All right. Let me see your arms. >> I'm so sorry. >> It's not your fault. Okay. >> That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's not your fault. Okay. >> The man should not be putting his hands on you.

He put his hands on you. If he can put his hands on you, then that means that that he's a big boy, right? >> So then let him take care of himself >> cuz there's no reason whatsoever that that a man should be putting his hands on on you like that. Okay. >> It's only one one way only one road out. All right. The jail is at the jail. If you you got Google, >> okay, >> can I fill him out? >> Um, you probably not cuz they're probably going to end up doing a no contact order, but it's the Monroe County Detention Center. M O N >> I'm scared. R O E. >> The moment she claimed she wanted to help him, it was enough to make anyone want to punch the screen. The officer tried his best to knock some sense into her. Less like a cop, more like a big brother handing out tough love. But our madam stayed desperate to free him, clinging to a toxic cycle masquerading as love. Here, let me talk to him. That's not what the That's not what the pictures in the video show. >> Monro County detention center. >> So you go into Google on that and then you'll be able to look at that. You can go and you can say whatever you want. Okay. There's pictures in video that show what happened. So that's making Yeah. If you if you Google that, it'll give you an address. >> Can I go to that? I can find him and get him out. >> I don't know if they'll let him out right now. You might have to go see a judge in the morning. >> What do I do? Just go there. >> Yeah. What you can do is Google it and then they can then call them and then they can give you answers. Okay. >> Just call us in. That's all I can do now. >> Yeah. >> So, just put that into Google. It'll bring up the phone number. You can call them and then you'll be able to get some some answers. Okay. Where are you staying at? >> I don't know. He has the key to the hotel. >> Okay. But where are you staying at? Cuz the hotel will be able to get you in. >> I don't remember. >> Okay. >> 2174. Can you find out what hotel he's supposed to be staying in so we can get back to where she's supposed to be staying at? They're not going to know anything yet because they they haven't gotten to the jail yet. Ma'am, >> I can't I can't go there. He has the key. >> Okay. The There's people that work the front desks that can get you into the rooms. >> I don't have money to go there. >> Okay. But you already have a hotel room, right? So the people >> 21 cooperated on the street. >> Well, he just said that you could sleep on the street. So that's what that that's what your boyfriend just said. So that's really disappointing that you still want to go and you want to do everything you can to help him and he's saying that you could sleep on the street. That's messed up. Zombie [Applause] 99 [Applause] caller and Sarah. >> Just wait there and we'll get you we'll get you taken care of. Okay. She has been thrown up against the wall several times. Her arm is swollen and bleeding. >> One second. One male 105. [Applause] >> Are we 15 and her? >> No. She >> while she was desperate to save him from jail, her night in shining handcuffs showed his true colors. When told his girlfriend had nowhere to go, he coldly suggested she sleep on the street. Honestly, it served her right and maybe finally what she needed to see to snap back to her senses. She just got kind of >> Okay. >> dramatic and so we put her in cuffs because she wasn't calling that. Okay. >> We tried and so she's a coping. >> I'm going to go get that guy's extra. >> Do you I mean are we 15? Cuz I could I could take her. I could take her. >> No. No. She's just >> she's just a victim. >> I need you to move your car first. >> I'm pulling straight the [ __ ] out. >> And you want me to get a written statement and all his info? Yes. >> Written statement from that guy and then Yeah. All his all his info. Gotcha. Do you have gloves in there? >> I do. Can I steal a pair of gloves? [ __ ] >> I'm going to search this guy when I get to the jail. I wasn't going to search him here with her losing her [ __ ] And >> yeah, got a pair of here. >> No, no, no, no. This is good. This is good. Sure. >> Yeah, I know. I'll search him at the jail. Hey, real quick. Um, [ __ ] You got to leave. Oh, I said that. Um, what was I going to say? So, get that guy's information if you could talk to Ray and them. see if they could uh >> get a copy of the video. >> Yeah, get a copy. Make a >> signal. >> Um >> Okay, I'll get all that. >> Yeah.

Bravo. >> Drive safe, [ __ ] >> Shut the [ __ ] up, Junior. >> You ain't calling shots. >> You took it off. Finally, the case wrapped. The officers looked drained, but they had done their job. The guy, though, still cocky, zero remorse. The cuffs only sharpened his ugly attitude as he mouthed off, talking to cops like he was untouchable, threatening to see them in court. Based on the video evidence, witness accounts, and the victim's visible injuries, he was arrested and charged with battery, domestic violence.
