Me and my brother came here. He's at at the store now. for I don't want to Yeah, I guess on August 8th, 2024, officers with the De Moines Police Department pulled into a gas station after getting reports of a fight. What they found wasn't just a scuffle. It was a full-on citizen's arrest gone sideways, fueled by a stolen phone and family drama. Watch the video to see what actually happened. >> Okay. >> Hands on the hood. Hands on the hood. >> Hands on the hood. Hands on the hood. On the hood. >> We got to let you go. >> Hurts.

It caused like it was almost over like it was almost >> Take a breath. Take a breath. I know you're in handcuffs, but you're not under arrest. Okay. We just put you in handcuffs cuz you were on top of her. All right. Um, >> take a breath. So we have it on everything on video that she took it and we've been me and my brother been >> took her >> took his phone. >> His phone >> it was he has >> Where was his phone at? >> It was at our store and we tried to look for her and stuff and >> where's your store? >> It's down the street. >> Yes.

So, I had to do something to keep her here, you know, cuz I didn't want to let her go >> cuz she took my dad's phone. >> Well, you shouldn't take matters into your own hands. I understand she was going to leave, but she could have just maybe followed her and not got on top of her because then that becomes an issue. Right. Right. >> Right. You can't be putting hands on other people. She had no right to. >> Okay. So, understand that. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, do you know where the phone's at? >> No, she took it. She said she even said it herself that she took it >> and she left it somewhere cuz >> Okay, let let me go talk with her. Okay, this officer's going to get your information. >> Okay, so maybe >> you don't know those people. >> Where's the phone? >> I don't know. >> She said she left it outside. >> Okay, so what store? The store? >> No, it was down there by the by the actual fishing. their store. >> Okay. >> I forget what it's called. >> There's a fish game here, isn't there? >> Yep. There's a fish game. >> I'm talking the one down. >> When the cops rolled up, the scene looked less like a phone theft and more like a wrestling match at Wrestlemania's parking lot edition. One woman was on top of another, proving hands-on means something very different in real life. Officers had to pry them apart like two alleycats locked in combat. The stolen phone still missing, but the drama front and center. Lincoln. >> The one right across from Lincoln. Lumis southwest. >> Yeah. Okay. And that was at 6:00. >> So it sounds like she made a report for that, too. >> I wouldn't know. I haven't been down there. I just came back from my wife. >> Okay. >> I literally just got here. >> What do you Let me Let me ask you this before we get >> I walked I was walking. >> Hold on. Listen to me. Listen to me real quick before we get too much further in this. I understand that she assaulted you and her her Okay, that's what I need to >> Why him too? >> Why him? >> The bald dude put his hands on me, too. >> Put his hands on you? >> Yes, he shoved me hand and she gave me attack me. They were both surrounding me. >> Okay. >> But she literally had me on the ground for at least a good 10 minutes. >> 10 minutes >> would not let me up. I was not trying to hurt that little girl. >> Okay. >> All right. So, I'm going to go in and talk to >> Okay. Southside at 220 East Avenue, please advise. >> Do you do you want to take this one? I can go to that one. >> I'll give you no matter what it was. What's the >> 135? >> Do we have any other southside cars in All right. How about this? Um, put her in your car just to hang out, right? Um, she's cooperative. He's talking to her to get us in her info. Go in and talk with staff about what took place because she's claiming that they were out here surrounding her and then this all went down. >> No, that they were >> we asked her. We were like, >> just sucks cuz there's no other cars. Um, I mean, she wants targets and she openly admitted it to the whole thing or Yeah. And she can't obviously she injured. >> Yeah. Uh, >> yeah. She's got a couple spots on her. So, it's all cozy. Yeah. So, what I would do is maybe separate and go across the street to the Family Dollar parking lot. Tell dad that he can bonk her out. I'll I'll talk to dad quick and it'll >> Thank you. >> Uh, can I talk to you? >> Okay. So, hey, I'm going to be really honest with you, okay? Uh, we can't we can't assault people, right? I understand that there's an issue with the phone, but that doesn't let us push, shove, punch, or do any of that stuff with people, okay? So, your daughter's in the wrong. >> Okay? So, she's probably going to go to jail for assault, but you can bond her out. Okay? So, she'll go up to Pulk County. >> Okay? >> Oh, she's she's going >> Yes. Because Do you understand? Just because somebody takes your phone, you can't punch him in the face, >> right? Well, she she didn't did she say say that she punched her? >> Your daughter? Yeah. I pulled up and your daughter was on top of her doing this. >> Uh she also he hit her too. >> She was that in self-defense though after she was already on the ground. >> Yeah. Before she was on the top and again she she made it back. >> The daughter claims she was just holding the suspect down until police arrived. Scratches, yelling, and family backup all swirled together into a messy cocktail. It's one thing to file a police report. It's another to go full WWE dive at the gas station. Officers quickly reminded her that justice isn't supposed to look like a ground and pound. >> Okay, I'm just letting you know what's probably going to happen. Okay, so this officer is going to separate everybody. He's going to go across the street. What I would do, right, cuz she's going to go for assault, okay? causing injury, which is a serious misdemeanor. Okay. You can go up to the jail and bond her out >> right now. >> Yes. I would just start heading that way now. >> Okay. And get that process going. Now, >> ask your question. I am your uncle. >> Yes. >> She's she's not even 18. >> Oh, she's not 18. >> How old is she? >> Huh? >> I think she's just turned. >> Oh, no. She is 18 from >> Okay. So, unfortunately, she's an adult. She also see she also got a heart. >> Yeah, I see that. But as I pull up, >> this isn't acceptable. You can't be doing this. >> And over a phone, too. You can't do that over a phone. That's a piece of property. You don't just get to beat people up because they took a piece of property. >> She was pulling her hair when I came here. When I saw >> when you came here, but she's claiming she's claiming that dad and daughter surrounded her >> and daughter admits that yeah, we surrounded her. Okay. So, we already have an issue. So actually she's trying to exit from here. That's why we just make sure she doesn't escape from the scene, you know. >> Yeah. But you can't do that. >> Okay. >> You can't surround somebody to stop them. You call us and you say, "Hey, this person that might have stole my cell phone is going that way. >> Go get them." >> Or maybe they think by when you when you'll arrive here, maybe the the criminal will be escaped. That's what they think. >> That's fine. If they escape, they escape. But that doesn't make it okay for you to trap somebody and not let them leave. Okay. >> Does she's trying to Is she also going? >> Who? Her? >> Yeah. >> I don't know yet. Her for sure. >> How How'd you guys know she was here? >> Um out in West at my friend's house. I was standing out here playing game and that car pulled up with a boulder in it. Pulled up. We got out. The girl in the white pants came around the corner. He like surrounded me, asked me where the phone is, told him I don't know. Get out of my face. I kept hugging around me. I trying to get away from him. He pushed me and then uh she pretty much pounced on me >> and that happened. >> No, it happened up there and down here. >> Okay. Like roll around. >> Yeah. >> I'm going to go in and talk to staff real quick just to make sure that's what happened. And then one of we someone's got to get out here for that other thing. Can you sit out for me real quick? >> All right. I'm going to just switch out these codes for you. All right. Can you turn around? I don't want to. Yeah, I guess. >> Okay, I'm going to take off the old ones. >> The suspect came swinging with her own story line. Dad shoved, daughter ambushed. basically painting it like a WWE tag team Smackdown. With scratches flashing like evidence and accusations flying faster than common sense, the scene turned into pure chaos theater. The cops had no choice but to split up the cast because if they didn't, the drama was about to hit sequel status in real time. Rashica, like I said, Learn from this. Don't take matters into your heads. Okay? You call us. That's what this is what we went training for. This is what we get people to do. Okay? Don't be doing it yourself. Your family knows where they need to go to get you founded out. Okay? So, you shouldn't be in there too long. There you go. Thanks. You will have a court date. Okay? She'll have to go to court for it, but that's just part of the process. All right. Does she have any property? No. It looks like she does have a a anklet on, but there was this is it. Okay. So, all right. Best of luck to you. Have you guys researcher? You guys research or no? I don't know. So, I'm going to use the back of my hands. Okay. >> What is this? >> Oh, you have a waist trainer? >> Yeah. >> Okay. That's like the thing that kind of squeezes. >> Sure. Okay. I know nothing about it. >> Okay. No, she is. No. >> Take her off. It's in my dad's car. >> Okay. We'll give her flip flops when I get there. Yeah. So, you can just step in. Just watch your head on all the way. Stole her dad's phone. This is the chicken come and go. Yeah. So, her her family knows like some little gas station up the street. Some homeless cow came in there earlier today and stole her dad's phone. Got a camera and everything. Yeah. >> So they made a case for the phone being stolen and somehow they found out and checked it was down here at Washington's office. So they went over there surrounded her. Um I guess dad possibly pushed the girl the victim and she ended up um pushing her down to her hair into just every every once in a while punching her. This was at liquor and tobacco. >> Yeah. >> I thought this was a come and go. It used to be a come and go. >> Oh, that's where they don't see it as wattress tobacco. Oh, that's already I'm at the fish game. What? So, but yeah. No, we all three of us rolled up and she's actively on top of it. We saw some punches. I'm like, no4. >> No, thank you. You're here now. Watch your step, ma'am. And then uh you don't have any shoes on, so just kind of construction here. >> Bottom line, trying to play vigilante over a stolen phone. Just bought her a front row seat in the back of a squad car. The cops had to spell it out. Throwing hands doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a defendant. that phone replaceable. Those assault charges, not so much. Now she's got court on the calendar instead of justice bragging rights. She was taken to Poke County Jail and booked on assault causing bodily injury or mental illness. So, in the end, if you enjoyed the video, hit that like button and drop your thoughts in the comments.
