Remember domestic disputes in public, especially in the presence of family members, can lead to criminal charges, even if the involved parties later want to resolve the situation privately.

Copy one by Tennessee DL number. And just for your 14, the EMS had to break out the window and she's going to be signal 62. Yeah, this is she's signal 62 on alcohol and Xanax and with the baby in the car. So, this is going to be something that probably DCF is going to have to come out for.

Watch what happens next on the body cam and [bell] tell us if you would have done the same. >> I'm not coming to get her. She needs to figure it out and get her way home. >> So, whatever is going to happen to her, I don't want no parts of it. Whatever. If y'all going to do whatever y'all going to do, press charges. On December 16th, 2024, officers responded to a local high school after administrators reported that a guardian refused to pick up a minor following a basketball game. School staff stated that after multiple phone calls, the guardian allegedly told them that she was not coming to get the child and that the child would need to figure out her own way home, prompting police involvement. >> In the 19 years we've been to >> Hey, how you doing? It's officer with North Police Department. >> Yeah. >> Quick question. Do you have the contact information or the contact number? What is it? >> I have it all copied for you. >> Go ahead.

My assistant principal is here. Also heard her say that she was not going to come pick her up. >> Did she have a reason or no? >> Her reason was that somebody had come up here to pick her up and she wasn't out there and left and she could figure out her own way home. >> Okay. And and as far as you know, does is there history not being picked up? >> Not that I know of. No. I mean, she's been to other games, Peppers and that afterwards and been picked up. this the first time, but our games are over. Like, this was over before 9:00 tonight. >> Mhm. All right, sounds good. I'll be over there. >> Administrators report that the guardian told them directly over speaker phone that she would not pick up the student. Staff also attempted to contact other relatives, but those attempts were unsuccessful. >> Don. >> Hi. >> You mind if we just talk? Yeah. Away from her. >> So, she was at a I'm sorry, I didn't realize. She was at a a game today. Basketball game. >> Basketball game. >> And the game ended around what time? >> Would have been before 9:00 because I called it at 8:30. >> 8:30. >> Okay. >> At 8:30. So, we usually wait around, get everybody out. Comes to light that she doesn't have a ride. Okay. >> Clock's taking probably like 8:45, 8:50. We tell her, "Hey, we got to call somebody to go get you. Come get you cuz nobody's coming." So we call and then we get I guess >> so we get >> so that's the information >> information >> and then ultimately what does she say to us? She says >> I'm not coming to pick up a ride. She didn't take the ride. She has to figure it out. >> Okay. >> And we can't do that. >> School staff explain that this is the first time in many years they have had a guardian outright refuse to pick up a student. They contacted police because they could not leave a minor at the school without supervision or transportation. >> Got to cousin cousin was going to come. >> This one, >> but then it looks like the >> not to come. >> Not to come pick her up. >> Okay. >> And here we are. >> Do you know the stories with her birth mother if she's in a picture at all or no? >> According to she's in jail. >> Okay.

So, I know it. Never been an issue. And I've never had like, "No, I'm not going to pick you up." In all the years, I mean, I've Eric and I were talking says probably in the 19 years we've been together. >> Got some picture right there. >> As administrators, have we not had somebody refuse to pick them up? >> Yeah. I was I was reading this and I was I was >> I know >> that's why I called you before I came. I just wanted to make sure I was reading right. >> A long time we've never had a refusal >> full out. >> We've had some that don't have rides. They're trying everything, you know. So, we had that >> and she's you contact the cousin and the cousin told you told you I'm not letting >> she was not coming to pick up. Somebody allegedly had come here >> and that she had to figure out. We both heard it. Then we had to figure she said quote, "I'm not coming to get her. She needs to figure it out and get her way home." We said, "Ma'am, we're calling Northport PD." >> So that was after the That was afterward >> because we got this >> because we got that one and he was coming, >> but apparently she tells him not to come. >> That's what he said. Yep. >> And my mother said, "I can't." >> Correct. Yep. That's what he told me. >> Okay. >> And so he turns himself around. And when you told you told Audrey you were calling us, would she say >> I told him I said I said look I said cuz he was supposed to come pick her up and we waited and waited and he didn't come and so we sat there and I called him back. I said look I said this is the situation we will be calling Northport police to come pick her up and take her home. >> Bottom line I said I cannot have a minor I cannot transport can't transport or anything else and this is the way it is. So, you never spoke to this person? >> No, we tried to leave a message, right? >> All right. We'll see how this goes then. >> Okay. Thanks. No problem. >> No problem. >> You're in good You're in good hands. Okay. So, he'll talk and get things straightened out hopefully for you. Okay. >> All right, girl. We'll see you tomorrow. >> Hey, what's going on? My name is Officer. You can call me Louisis. >> The student states she used a friend's phone because she does not have her own. She says a relative eventually told her she would have to walk home and she continued trying to find another ride without success. >> What happened tonight? >> So I was I had before like the game to like come to the game. He said yes. So I had went and then I was >> I'm sorry. Let's fire let's find my partner right now. One second.

She's saying that to the grass. All right. So, what we >> I'll say that like I was like looking for a ride before the game even ended because I didn't know if I were going to pick me up. So, I had to text him. >> He asked um my I asked him to um like give me a ride. He said yeah, he would call to see if she could pick me up because she had the car. Then I I kept on texting him asking him if he was here if she was here or like is she going to pick me up. I came outside to drop my friend off cuz she was going well he was going home. >> So I I was uh walking down like five times. I was like out here for 10 minutes trying to see if my car was here. I didn't see them. So I went back inside to text off my friend's phone because I don't have a phone. >> And then like 20 minutes later they finally answered saying, "I guess you're going to have to walk home." And then I was like trying to look for a ride. Everybody couldn't take me. >> Officers contact the guardian by phone. The Guardian states the student was supposed to attend cheer practice and claims the student made other plans without informing her. They >> texted your friends from saying that. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I kept on like trying to get a ride from other people but they couldn't take me home. So >> and then she called uh she said she wasn't going to uh pick me up me to walk home because that's probably what just told him to tell me to walk home because she nobody was going to pick me up. Mhm. >> So she called her then she had basically yelled at her about telling her that she's not going to take me home. She called my uncle. He did not answer. She called my cousin. He was supposed to pick me up but Audrey did told him to not pick me up. >> Why would you do that? >> I have I don't really think she likes me. Like >> how long you been this thing? >> Since I was like two or one. >> Oh. So okay. You've been staying here for a while? >> Yes. >> Okay. And you never had a problem like this before? >> Not really. No. >> Okay. You guys just moved there, right? to Florida. >> Yeah. No, we moved to Florida 8 years ago, but we just moved into this new house. >> All right, let's see if we could if we can figure this out. Okay. >> Okay. >> You smoke, sir? What' you say? Oh, so we'll arrest her for tonight then. Okay. >> Hello. How you doing, Audrey? >> Can I help you? >> Yes, you can. I'm officer in the ground from North Park Police Department. I'm speaking to Audrey. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, I have in the car. We see. >> During the call, the guardian repeatedly tells officers she will not pick up the student and says she is done dealing with the situation. Officers explain they're trying to resolve the issue and gather necessary information. >> Ask some questions before we uh we finish this up. So, from what I understood, the principal was telling me she had a basketball game today and she was supposed to get picked up. She didn't. >> She lied and so she can stay at the game. >> Okay. >> She got she had a >> Okay. >> She wasn't where she said she was going to be or where she was supposed to be. >> Uhhuh. >> So, her ride left. >> And who her right was you or someone else? No, most definitely not me cuz she didn't call me. She had a ride. >> Mhm. >> She wasn't there for her ride to pick her up. >> Okay. >> So, whatever is going to happen to her, I don't want no parts of it. Whatever. If y'all going to do whatever y'all going to do, press charges against me, I don't give a >> Okay. >> I'm too old for this. >> Okay. >> She's been So, now we at this point. >> Okay. How long have you you see? >> Yeah. I'm I'm done with her. Whatever. I mean, you know, take me to court, Sam. Yeah. Whatever. Do whatever. But I'm not dealing with this any longer. >> Okay. So, she told you she had cheer. >> She didn't tell me. >> Okay. So, from what you know, >> 4:30. >> Okay. And then she didn't show up at 4:30. >> I was at work. On my way home from work, I said I'm on my way to pick her up to take her to cheer practice. >> Okay. >> I was around the corner. Homebuckle right before I turned on Homebuckle in the street. >> Oh, she she's at the game. >> Okay. >> So, I mean, you know, whatever plan she made, that's the plan she stuck with. She didn't call me. She didn't ask me. She didn't do anything with me. But I was going to make sure she go to cheer practice because I ran over late at work and whoever she had made plans with, they went to go get her. She wasn't where she was supposed to be. >> You don't know who was supposed to pick her up. >> It don't matter who was supposed to pick her up. >> Okay. No, you just keep saying someone. So, I don't know if you know this person. >> She wasn't where she needed to be to be picked. >> Okay. But you know the person was supposed to pick her up though. This wasn't a stranger. I >> understand. >> Remember this is all that she conjured up. >> She wasn't where she was supposed to be to be picked up. >> Okay. So that person left. >> Okay. And what time was was she supposed to be picked up? Was she >> I don't know. >> You don't know that either. Okay. >> You got to understand. I didn't even know that she was GOING TO THE GAME. I didn't even know anything about this until I was on my 5 minutes before I turned the corn. >> Oh, she said she doesn't have cheer. So, she's going to be at the game. >> Okay. And who'd she tell that to then? She's not telling you. That's what I'm trying to figure out. >> Right. Yeah. She didn't tell me this. She didn't tell me anything. >> So, who's telling you this? If she's not telling you >> the person who I asked said tell her to be ready for me to take her. >> Okay. Oh, I think this is Okay. She mentioned she text you from on our friend's phone. Is that what >> she didn't text me? >> Okay. She texted someone. >> She texted someone but she didn't text me. >> Okay. >> But yet and still every My name is being dragged. Hey Audrey. Hey Audrey. Hey Audrey. The principal called me. >> Mhm. >> But when she was scheming and doing all of she didn't call me. >> Okay. >> She did not call me. She did not text me cuz she knew she was doing some shady and she been doing this for a very long time. I am done. >> Okay, >> she put herself in this predicament. She need to find >> The guardian continues refusing involvement and states she does not want the student returning to the home. Officers explain the situation may require further investigation and documentation. >> Find a way to get out of it for her to sit up there and put this situation to the point to where it is.

It's just now she's understanding that what she want to do is not going to happen and this how far it's going to go and I'm not caving in. So >> caving in as in what? >> I'm done with her. I'm done with her and her. >> Okay. >> I don't have to deal with it and I'm not >> Audrey, you might just uh I think I have your last name. What you did to Audrey? >> What do you need there for? >> Yeah. Well, I need the information to pass along. >> They can come to my >> All right. So, let's let's back up. I'm in chill. Let's let's just be a little more fre. So right now I understand you're you're pissed. You're livid. Whatever you want to call it. What you did though is considered you >> had her. >> Well, she did and then she didn't. >> Okay. She did. She wasn't where she was supposed to be.

But what I'm telling you is if you do refuse to give you your information then you're hindering my investigation and then I have to arrest you just for that. I don't want to do that. I don't want to take no one to jail. >> You're not closing the door on me. That's not going to happen. That's not going to happen. >> Okay. I asked you.

I WAS TOLD YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST OFFICER at my door. >> You're not the first officer at my door is what I'm saying.

Remember, guardians are generally responsible for ensuring safe transportation and supervision for minors after school activities. Clear communication between families and schools can help prevent situations where a student is left without transportation or support. This is the reaction of netisens to this situation. I feel bad for the student being stuck at school with no ride. The officers stayed patient while trying to figure out what was going on. This situation shows how important communication between family members can be. What do you think about these situations?
