He was very respectful on the phone, he told her that he'll pay her whatever price, it doesn't matter because I guess on Lyft it's a $20 fee or or something like that for a stolen um a lost item for her to come back and she was just like not having it, she was going back and forth on the phone that she was not going to come back and all this back and forth. Um but like I said, I'll have him give you a call so that he can give you more details on it. Okay, and when will we doing that?

Okay, thank you. The mother was arrested for child neglect with great bodily harm. Remember, verifying supervision arrangements before leaving a dependent alone is essential for safety and accountability. Community members reporting unusual situations can play a key role in preventing potential harm. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. That situation could have gone very differently if no one noticed. The neighbors did the right thing by stepping in and calling for help. Important reminder to always double-check plans when someone else is supposed to supervise. You think the officers were out of options here?

He further informed officers that she had stolen his firearm and intended to use it against him. Acting on this information, officers traced the woman to the airport parking garage and proceeded to approach the area with caution. You have the right to remain silent.

If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning. Do you understand each of those rights as I I have explained them to you?

Officer Hanson is going to talk to you. He's going to ask you all the questions. We're not going to interrupt him. We're not going to bug you, okay? I want you to talk to him, all right? Why don't you have a seat, okay? Do you need me to get an ambulance here to look at you? You're not injured in any way, shape or form? I'm heartbroken. Okay, I understand Well, that's probably nothing an ambulance can fix. What's going on with This marriage is over or When did you learn about this? This is with the a woman. This is a matter. What's wrong? I'm trying to get to know you so we can have a conversation. I am. Kim, I'm here to listen to you, okay? This is what you need to know because you almost had a police shooting tonight. I came around the corner Officers ask whether she intended to harm her husband or herself. She does not give a clear explanation for having the weapon at the scene. You looked at me. I don't know if she was trying to dump the gun but the gun came I'll look at body cam. You saw the barrel aimed at you. Yeah, and then I I screamed and then finally hit the ground. Does she need assistance? I don't know. This could be the No, I don't know. The barrel came towards you. Yeah. The only reason why I didn't shoot is cuz she's a female. So there's my car key right there. Basically Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. I'm not going to finger [ __ ] that because that [ __ ] you know her prints are on it. Don't know. I'll just photograph them now. >> Okay. I'm not doing nothing. Well, you are doing something. I I don't come and bug people if they're not doing anything. Is that what you're doing? So you're not in any trouble for alcohol but can I kind of see where you're at as far as how much you've been having to drink tonight? You don't want to give me a blood sample or a breath sample real quick? So let me just kind of see if I understand this, all right? You've been married to your I guess 40 something years, right? 41 years. And recently you guys decided to go through a split? Yeah, he cheated on me for 30 years or something. Okay, and that's That's understandable would make someone upset but did you come here with the intent to harm him tonight? What are you doing hanging out by his truck holding a gun? You don't know? Were you going to try to hurt him tonight? Okay, so then why Why do you have a gun? >> Officers note signs of alcohol use and attempted determine impairment level. She declines to provide breath or blood samples voluntarily. in your hand at an airport. Were you going to try to hurt yourself? Kind of see it from my perspective, okay? You're hiding in front of his car holding a gun. Your car is parked right over there. He was in Mexico? Do you have any felony convictions, anything like that? Ever been arrested before? So I know but do you understand from my perspective what I'm what I think is going on? If you were in my my shoes and my wife who you know let's say I'm going through a divorce with shows up to an airport where I'm flying into holding a gun, what would be your first thought? It probably wouldn't be good, right? I'm just trying to get the whole story out. I understand you're hurt and you're allowed to be hurt especially after 40 years but that's I'm just trying to understand the story about how how it went from here to here tonight, okay? Do you understand that you almost got shot tonight? And it would have destroyed me to hurt you. It was very close. I understand. I know that's not easy but like I said, people get a little liquid courage in them and they their mind starts telling them to do things that might they normally might not do. Take a few deep breaths. I got to go do something real quick, all right? You watch her for one second. You're safe, okay? We didn't know what your intent was. That's all. Just chill out, okay? I understand. What did you have on the front bumper of the car, Kim? It's a what? It's a death to us. All right. He promised for 41 years. We know. You're hurt. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. 41 YEARS WHAT ARE WE DOING? I'm just trying to hear out why you came here tonight, Kim. Attention. Love. Kim, look at this. Were you going to hurt yourself? Oh, don't don't be embarrassed for in front of us, hon. We're not We're not the public, okay? We're We're the police so don't be embarrassed in front of us. We see everybody on days when they make mistakes so don't be embarrassed. Yes, did you have keys to his truck? So you have no way inside of his truck? It's not your gun, is it? It's our gun. It's our gun, okay? I'll go with that. It's Give me a mutual property. We get it. Have you ever fired that gun before, Kim? You have. So you know how it works. Do you guys hunt? Are you a hunter? Cuz that's a hunting clothing line. That's Yep. You ready to give us a breath so we can figure out how much alcohol you got cuz you might need to go to the hospital first. I'm fine. It's not about fine. We need to know what level you're at so >> Fine. So let's rephrase that, Kim. How long since your last drink? Has it been a while since you drank? How long? Well, you know I think we can prove she was here with a loaded gun waiting to kill him based on that note. I I think that's what we need to book for. And then we can just to prove there's alcohol in there. Let me go grab my That's a positive for alcohol, obviously. I don't We don't need to say that but proves more But let's get in then. You're under arrest so you got to go in the car, okay? That's why we read you Miranda cuz we're detaining you and now we want you to get in and get comfortable and get you through this process as much as we can do. Hey, Kim. She is placed in a patrol vehicle. Officers secure her belongings and prepare transport while continuing to monitor her condition. Can I ask you a couple more questions? Do you want me to secure your vehicle? Lock it up cuz it's unlocked right now. Can you verbalize it just cuz my camera doesn't I just want to make sure I'm all square. Okay. And then do I consent to look at your phone? Just anything? Okay. So what we're going to do is we have to get your blood. So I know you don't want to provide it so we're we have to get a warrant for your blood unless you want to consent to a blood draw. All the only purpose for that is to get your level of intoxication. We can do that via the breath machine if you want or we can do that via the blood. You do not have to consent to that. We can get a warrant. It just takes longer. And then we're going to get a warrant for your phone. So, that's the reason for the delay right now is that it just takes some time to get those warrants from a judge. So, that's the process and after we do all that then we're going to take you down to county jail and get you booked, okay? And go from there. I'm going to put this seatbelt on you. I'm sorry to do that. Can I have a few minutes? Yeah, hang on 1 second, okay? This is so embarrassing. Oh, I wouldn't be embarrassed. It's okay. Things happen. Hard? Hard? Hard. It's like a child. Okay. Can you go back and forth? Like that? It's hurting. I don't know what's hurting. Did that help? Do you have children? It looks all right. When can we leave? Uh it'll be just a minute. It's not taking too long, but it'll be just another 10 15 minutes. Okay. Mhm. All right. All we're waiting on, I know you're impatient. You should be. Um we just have to get the warrant for the blood. Now, we don't need to get a warrant if you want to either blow in the breathalyzer or consent to a blood draw. If you do either one of those we can go straight to jail and we're done for the night. But, you don't have to. It's up to you. You you prefer not to consent to blood or breath? Okay. Is that Is that a no, Kimberly? I just need to hear you say okay. Very good. Come on out here. Is my son here? Oh, you're on the radio? I I don't know. I know I'm not with him. I heard I Is it Then I think they are here, yes. But, I have not seen them, miss. I don't know that, but I heard the same thing on the radio you did. I'm sorry about that. You're not going to have to see them, okay? So, that's the good news. We're going to get your jewelry off. I got to put the handcuffs on you and then we're ready to go. Okay, we're going to go pick up the paperwork. >> Officers interview a family member confirming she was waiting near the husband's vehicle with a firearm. They document prior concerns and context. work from the other officer and then we're going to go book you in and the jail. Then you can get your attorney and go from there, okay? But, the most important thing is that you deal with that cancer. They give you bad prognosis? Okay. Come on out. I like it. You're too young to have that kind of problem. He's not going to see you there. He's nowhere near here. We will not let him see you, I promise you. Can you take your jewelry off for me? I don't want to waste any time. He's not. He's He's upstairs on the second floor of the airport, nowhere near us. How old's your boy? He's 32. 32. You got grandbabies? Yeah. 11. You have 11 grandbabies? Oh my god, from how many kids? All right, I'm going to go get that paperwork. What I'm going to need from you is when you get to the statement portion, I'll let you fill that out first. What's your first name? Jimmy. James. James, tonight we were sent to look potentially for your mom. We got a call that she may be armed and that she may be stalking where his truck is. Through the surveillance system in the airport, we were able to find that she was parked here at the airport. Unfortunately, we conducted an area check and she wasn't parked too far from your dad's truck. So, when we went over to check your dad's truck, we located your mom. Your mom was in hiding on the front of the truck with a handgun. We had to engage with her. Luckily, we did not have to shoot her, but it was very close. Unfortunately, Nevada has laws on laying in waiting to conduct an ambush. She had written some notes and she wrote a message on the front of your dad's truck. We're not looking to screw anybody, but we have a job to do to protect. Officers finalize paperwork, gather statements, and transport her to jail while explaining the next legal steps and procedures. We need from you two is basically a detailed history of what's been going on that led up to today recently. When he When he she's ever made any threats to you about hurting herself or hurting anybody else. I understand your your mom needs help. I've been doing this job 38 years. I've seen a lot of this. Tonight was a good outcome because we got what we were looking for. Otherwise, chances are there's going to be an ambush at the truck. Most probably would have been a homicide. She is intoxicated. Unfortunately, we all know we don't make good decisions when we're intoxicated. It's tough being a child, but if we can take this down the road it goes from a criminal thing to a mental health thing and a sobriety thing, then that's the direction we always look for in law enforcement. If any history that you know, say "Hey, my mom lately has been doing this about wanting to hurt herself or please help her by putting that in the statement and helping us, all right? We treat her real good, you know, we're trying to wipe her nose and stuff. We sat with her for a while. She was crying. We were listening to her story, but we still have to, you know, we have to look at the totality of everything. What I'll need from you is when you guys what happened in court with the gun because you said the judge was telling her give up the gun, which means the state's looking that that is not mutual property. Are Are we in charge of the possession of the stolen firearm right now? I don't I don't know. The other arresting officer that was on scene, he's carrying the I guarantee you the judge This is the gun. The judge that's judge is going to want to know because >> tell him. Absolutely. You You're going to have the case number for tonight. It was a lady and she was specific and I and I and I told him what she stole. You know, I thought she'd be smart enough to get rid of that gun, you know what I'm saying? But, now she's caught doing something with that gun. I mean this judge is going to be pissed. Don't worry about her. She's, you know, she's crazy as [ __ ] and more or less can't take that one. So, Hey, Sarge. Yeah. She's done with the statement. Hopefully you can read it. We've seen a lot worse in our time as cops. Oh, yeah. If you need anything else, just call me and and need more If you need more information. Yeah, no. We'll be in touch with you. I'm sure the district attorney's office will be in touch with you. The district attorney's office investigators will be in touch with you. You might hear from a detective. What we're going to do is we're going to walk you out to your um truck and you can give us verbal consent to search. Okay. This concludes this interview. I'll be uh transporting solo to jail. You've never been in jail, obviously, right, Kimberly? Relax. I'll walk you through it. Hopefully you're not here very long. Well, don't be. Well, you made a bad decision and you're going to work through it. You got a lot going on in your life, right? Yep. So, you talk to your lawyer and it's going to work out just fine. I'll unhook you. Come on out. All right. Come over here. Trust me, you're not going to recognize anybody here. The people you associate with aren't going to be in here. The individual was charged with offenses including assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, aggravated stalking, resisting a public officer with a firearm, possession of a firearm while under the influence and possession of suspected stolen property. Remember, carrying a weapon during emotionally charged situations can lead to serious legal consequences and safety risks. Following officer commands promptly during high-risk encounters helps prevent escalation. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. That could have turned out much worse if she hadn't dropped the weapon. The officers stayed calm even in a very tense situation. It's sad to see how personal situations can escalate into something like this. Everyone thought it was too late until the body cam shows the exact second officers step in. Did you predict that rescue? On March 1st, 2024 police officers were alerted by fire rescue about a man inside a vehicle who was tearing apart the interior paneling and radio. He was reportedly ripping off anything he could get his hands on, displaying extreme signs of erratic behavior. When officers arrived at the scene, they found him seated in his sister's car, but the situation would soon take an unexpected turn. Here. Hang on. He needs to go. He's all jacked up. He doesn't want to go with us. He needs to go to the hospital. >> He's got a gun. He's being a little bit combative to her. I don't want to I don't want to start tasing him. >> What's his name?

The individual was charged with resisting a law enforcement officer with violence, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, and attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. Remember, clear communication and early medical intervention can help manage unpredictable behavior during emergency situations. Maintaining distance and following officer instructions can reduce the risk of escalation during active incidents. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. You can see how quickly things changed once he stepped out of the car. Officers stayed pretty calm, even when the situation got intense. Glad medical help was there to step in when it became unsafe. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officers rush in. Comment if you felt that spike.
