and she just kept coming at me. So I put my hands on the car like this and she just kept pushing going forward and pushing me and I was just like, "Stop." And she just like turned her car and went the other way, you know, went around me. But and when she went down then I I I was able to see what her license plate number was. >> So So did she know she hit you? >> Yeah, she I mean she came at me and I put my hands down and she kept pressing forward and she hit my legs. Do you want to pursue charges? >> On the morning of May 8th, 2025 on Superior Boulevard in Florida, a uniformed crossinger was struck by a moving vehicle inside an active school zone crosswalk. >> I'm good. I I just love it. I'm okay. >> So, what happened Miss >> I was standing over there and I was going to come across the street and the car was coming. So, I blew my whistle, put my sign out, and she just come flying up to the stop and she went through the like over the not the crosswalk sign, but the white and I went stop. I said, "It's 20 m an hour through here." And she goes, "Get out of my way." And I started to walk and she started to go. Well, I didn't even have time to get out of the way. And she just kept coming at me. So, I put my hands on the car like this and she just kept pushing going forward and pushing me. And I was just like, "Stop." up and she just like turned her car and went the other way, you know, went around me. But and when she went down, then I I I was able to see what her license plate number was. >> So, did she know she hit you? >> Yeah, she I mean, she came at me and I put my hands down and she kept pressing forward and she hit my legs. >> You want to pursue charges? >> Yeah. You want to state your phone? >> Definitely. >> Ridiculous. not here right now. They call >> miles an hour through here and she goes, "Get out of my way." And I put my hands on the car cuz she kept pushing forward and then she came through. She like hit like my thighs, not hard, but she was like trying to push me out of the way. And I go, "Stop." AND SHE GOES, "GET OUT OF MY WAY." And she turned and she went around me and took off. >> Miss Bet, do you have a driver license from Florida or out of Florida? >> I'm a Florida. >> Can you just if you uh saw her gate, could you identify her? I think I could. She was young. She might have been late 20s, early 30s. Black. I don't, you know, I couldn't tell what her size is. >> Did you come that Did you saw that car coming out from the school? >> No, it was coming down. Okay. >> Yeah. >> No, it didn't come out of the school cuz I saw her way back there. >> Okay. Yeah, because that's when I because I gave her plenty of time to see me coming, you know, put my sign up and >> and your whistle help. >> Yeah. >> Doesn't matter if you had your sign as a whistle or not. Fact, she was yelling at you until you get out of the way because she saw you and you're a pedestrian, so you have to ride away and you're clearly marked as a a crossing guard. >> And where were you at when this occurred? Center of the intersection or in the crosswalk? >> No, that one. >> I was in the crosswalk. You were in the crosswalk. >> I was just coming out of Yeah. into the crosswalk and she came flying up and so I'd say I was probably >> So, but you're >> 5t out into the crosswalk already. >> So, I'm just going to take a picture of you so we can see what you're wearing and got your sign and stuff over there. >> Yeah. >> That's 10. >> The driver fled. A deputy investigated on camera for nearly 28 minutes and made an arrest. What followed raises several precise legal questions worth examining carefully. The Florida statute section 3161 section of 30 spectrin lawfully and march croqu holds the right of way and every approaching spikuli to crossing guards acting their official. This guard was uniformed equipped with a stop sign and whistle and deployed in an active school zone. The duty to yield was not discretionary. It was absolute the moment she stepped into that crosswalk. The second question is whether vehicle contact meets the aggravated battery threshold. Aggra battery includes battery with a depth that qualifies floor cuts of alcohol a motor vehicle use an instrument of intentional contact as quality under Graham versus Connor 490 US 386 1989 probable cause is evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer based on the totality of circumstances at the moment of the arrest decision. The deputy sworn victim's statement assigned eyewitness confirming the crossing guard from school staff in the crosswalk and also confirmed the school's zone warning lights were continuously flashing directly contradicting the driver's claim that they were off. The driver's own statement added a self-inccriminated admission. She said she reversed and then accelerated past the crossing guard at close range. That admission combined with independent witness corroboration met the probable cause standard clearly. The driver raised a racial bias claim under the 14th amendment's equal protection clause. That clause prohibits select independent enforcement based on race. But the driver's own contradicted admissions. The record does not support here at 9:00 too. Oh, zoom. >> Yeah, traffic. And if you could describe her the best you can. She say it was a white car, right? See if I can pull the cameras. Say white. What? It's a white Toyota for Let me go here. I don't have my computer with me. Last week I took a very similar one at the other school, uh, Pinerest. >> Well, yeah. Mhm. >> That person went to jail. >> And if I can identify and find this person, they'll [music] do the same. >> Especially coming from that way because the 20 mph starts all the way down there and there are multiple crossing guards down that way. So it's not like you know they're out here. >> It doesn't matter if it's a school zone or not. The fact that you have a person on foot in a crosswalk >> clearly marked too. >> State statute says they have the right away. >> Yeah. >> Regardless, >> I agree. That's true. and then to yell at them to get out of the way and then deliberately run into them. >> But I don't What time is the last bell for school? >> Um 8:35. >> That's when the bell rings to be late to school. >> We still have parents coming in about till about probably about 8:40. >> Oh, so because these lights should be flashing then until uh 9:05. >> Yeah, I think that's why. Yeah. >> 30 minutes before the first bell and 30 minutes after the last bell. >> Yeah. Cuz usually 7:30 like year before 7:30 it's not. Then right after 30, >> you want to prosecute, correct? >> Yeah. >> That's ridiculous. >> I agree. >> That's ridiculous. I mean, >> she wouldn't even let me get out of the way. I was trying to get out of the way when I told her to stop, you know, and and she she just kept coming at me. So, I was afraid if I put I mean, I know I can't push the car away, but if I put my hands up, I was afraid she'd knock me over. And then >> So, you did put your hands on the hood. Yeah. >> Perfect. I want to dust the car for for >> I got witness too. >> We got Who's a witness? >> Uh, one of the >> If you can give a fight who they are, give me a statement. >> Um, she's from the county. >> The one that come the one that come um >> which one? What color hair? >> A black female. >> We have a pepper shirt today. >> Yes. >> Up in here. >> All right. So, we're going to try to find them. Um, case number for the report, my name and my phone number. >> Okay. >> We'll try to find him. If I can find him, uh, we're going to jail. >> Thank you. >> Um, you said it was a black female, younger. >> I called you when I do. You know what she was wearing? >> Roughly. >> You >> I want to say a white top, but I I can't be positive. Did >> you show her hair? She had braid. >> Yeah, she had black N. She had just black hair and it was just kind of comb, you know. Nice. It wasn't braids or anything. It was just short from what I could tell. Had her bangs combed over. >> Right. >> That's what she did. She just went right over the line as I was in the crosswalk and I told her, "Stop." I said, "It's 20 miles an hour through here. You got to stop." And she goes, "Get out of my way." >> Oh, she did. Just one number saying that uh the LPR head going on. It's Scoffield. >> LPR is Cfield Road and went to Cook. So that's Orange County then. >> Okay. I'll just I'll go to the school or the the house. We'll find out who was driving. If not, I'll follow up. >> Okay. >> Monday. >> Yep. >> Let me get that window s for you. >> All right. I'll call you when it's done. All right. >> Okay. All right. >> Thank you. >> So far. Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> We'll find her. >> All right. >> I just wonder if she lives in the neighborhood. >> She does. >> Oh, she does. >> She does. Yep. We The tag goes back to to the the neighborhood. Sheriff's office. >> Hello. >> Yes. >> Do does somebody live here to drive a a white Toyota passenger car? What's her name? >> Zena. >> All right. Do you know where she's at or where she's heading? >> Work. >> Okay. Where's work at? >> Can you tell me what's going on? Yeah, she was involved in a traffic accident. >> What happened? >> I guess she hit somebody with her vehicle and then drove away. >> So, we need to talk to her, find out her side of the story. >> Okay. Yeah. Well, yeah, she did try to call me and she said that whoever the crossing guard is continuously harassed her like every morning when she's going to work and taking her daughter to school. Okay. >> And I mean, I'm at work so I was on a call. I mean, I couldn't talk to her and I said, "Well, what happened?" And she said she jumped in front of her car and tried to like stop her. And I said, "Well, you probably were either going too fast in a in a school zone when the kids are trying to cross or you know something happened." I said, "And if she jumped in front of your car, you I can show you my text messages." I said, "You will go to jail." I said, "So if she jumped in front of your car, you should have come to a complete stop." I said, "And you need to either report her to the school or you need to ask the lady what is her problem if she's harassing you." But I'm working so I don't know. I'm not there. So you can you can come in. >> Do you have her phone number so we can call her, get her side of the story? >> You can you can come in. You can come in. >> The driver, she's the school. She advised that she never hit um the cross guard. 65 had a phone number for her. 407 32 last names uh Zulu of Alpha Jankee November Alpha Hotel first name or last name. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> So I'm Deputy Snow. Um I'm assistant with this. So what what happened with the phone call? >> Okay. She called and um I could tell she was a black woman and she was kind of panicking and I could see the numbers. I immediately wrote it down when I realized it was her. >> Okay. >> Um I did hear the other woman come in, but she spoke Spanish and told my coworker what she had seen down here. It was one of our parents dropping off a child. >> Okay. >> And um I did I do understand what she was saying. So I did know something happened and we sent people out here. So, she calls us and she says, "This happens all the time. She has her three-year-old in the car and she's going, she has to go to Apaka every day take the child there." >> And this woman has done this. She's got it in for her. She's all the time trying to stop her every day for no reason. And she hit her car with her stop sign. And so she went around. I said, "You didn't hit her with your car?" No, I said um she said yeah, she got up and walked away. >> That's what she told me. >> Okay. >> And that she's got it in for her. That was it. Strictly not my fault. Didn't do it. She hit my car with her stop sign. >> Do you mind filling out a piece of paper just put on paper what you just told me? >> Okay. I did. Well, it was a note I wrote. Okay. >> Yeah. Just on our form real quick. Let me get it set up for you. Let me see it real quick. >> Okay, I forgot the reason she called. She wanted the cross walker of the cross guard's name. >> Okay, >> that's what it was. And I said, you know, they work for the sheriff's department. Um, and she's got the right to stop you. >> Mhm. >> And even at the end of the day, there's no kids or anything like >> Yeah. And that's what she was saying, nobody's around, blah blah blah. Well, the crossing guard like pedestrian in the crosswalk has right away. >> I know. Absolutely. I mean, I tried to explain that to her and from what I understood, she was sitting down because she was hit by the car. >> Yeah. >> That she pushed her with the car or whatever. I don't know. >> Well, so the way the statue reads for battery, it's unwanted touch or strike. So, it doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be like a hit like >> Right. >> That could be battery. >> Okay. >> Just touch. >> Yeah. So, >> yeah. No, I didn't do anything to her. She hit my car with her with her sign. >> Yeah. >> And I was like, she knew it was you. >> Yeah. Well, we have her phone number and stuff. We've talked to her. >> Yeah. I down. Well, she did give it to me. I said, "I'll report this for you." That's what I said to her. >> Thank you. All right. Can you do me a favor? Can you raise your right hand? >> You swear that everything that's affidavit is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. >> I do. All right. I need your signature right here. Okay. Right here. Yep. >> Now for the Gloely in the crosswalk clearly marked using required equipment. She recorded the vehicle's plate number immediately after the incident and provided a consistent corroborated account throughout the investigation. The deputy receives an A minus. He secured the victim's statement. Gathered independent witness investigated at the suspect specs home before making any arrest decision. Gave the driver a precise patient and professional under real emotional pressure. The deduction reflects one gap. No on camera Miranda advised. No muy 1980 investigated questioning but a for questioning question 42. She drove into a uniform crossing guard in a protected crosswalk. ignored commands to stop, struck the guard's legs, and left the scene. Her account was directly contradicted by an independent course was a favorable outcome for a felony charge. >> 1958 be out at the bar address contact with subject. >> Hello, Zindai. Z, >> what' you say? >> Zena. >> Zena. Oh, Deb's office. Tell me what's So, now that I'm here with you, what's what happened? >> So, basically, I'm trying to make sure I'm not sitting in the ant. A lot of ants over here. Um, so basically, the lady who stopped me for months, I don't know if it it's because she has a problem with me or what it is, but every time it's nobody out there like crossing cuz the only time she probably see me is on Thursdays cuz that's when I'm off. I take m my daughter to school a little later at like 9:00, but I have to leave early cuz I her school's in the papa. Only time she see me is on Thursdays. If if it's nobody outside like it looks empty like that, she will purposely stop me for no reason and I sit there for a good 5 10 minutes just sitting in my car cuz there's nobody there and then she'll let me go. So today, >> you have dash cam or anything? >> No. >> No. Okay. I wish I did cuz I was going to record it, but I was just, you know, I'm not gonna do all that cuz that's a little extra. I'm driving my baby's in the car. I have my camera. I'm not doing that. >> How old your your child? >> She's only two. >> Two. Okay. >> Who is that? >> She's only I don't even know who that is. She's only two. So, I'm not going to speed in a car with my baby. Like, that's one thing I never do. >> Well, I'm not here for speeding. >> Yeah. I don't speed or anything. But no, it's because she stopped me and she was like, "You need to stop. You're speeding." I'm just like, "I'm not speeding. I'm going 20 miles per hour. That's the speed limit." >> And she literally like, "Can I demonstrate?" >> Sure. >> But so she so so my car is right here and this is like the last thing. First, she was right here and she told me to stop. Then she walked up to my car and and was like, "You need to stop." And I'm just like, "Why are you in my car?" So I backed it up and I put her in park and she's walking closer to my car. Every time I try, you know, back up to avoid her, she's coming closer. So I just put my car in park. So she's on this side of my car. My car already been damaged from October. So somebody did, >> right? I see. I see. That's older damage. >> Yeah. Someone did a hit on my car. So she was standing like this trying to point at me and I'm just like, "Can you please move?" Like I'm just trying to take my my baby to school. Can you please move? She did not move. But mind you, the the road over there, like you can see how big it is. She's literally standing right here on the side of my car. She's literally a step away from the sidewalk. She's standing on my car and hit my car. So I what I do, I back out of I back in reverse and I speed past her because now you're hitting my car. I'm not doing anything to you. I'm in the car. Didn't even get hit. >> She's hitting it with what? >> Her stop sign. >> Where? >> She hit it like this. >> She hit it. I I don't know if it's any marks, but she hit my car right here. Like right here. She hit it with a stop sign. >> Like I need to stop like hitting my car. So I expect if nobody's coming to stop me if nobody school I don't know if if they have certain hours or not, but you can clearly tell that everybody's in school and nobody's out. It's no kids, no adults, no nothing. Were the yellow lights still flashing on the um lights? >> No. >> No. >> No, >> they weren't. >> No. When I was there, no, they weren't. >> But I was still, you know, trying to be >> Well, I'm going to let you know when I went back through there to talk to her, all the yellow lights were working. >> And when I was here early, when I was in the area at 7:45, all the lights were on. So, they they stayed on constantly. They don't shut off, turn back on. So, before the incident occurred, the lights were working. After the exits, they were still flashing. >> So, so that tells me that they were still flashing when you went through the occurred. So, for you to tell me that they weren't flashing >> is false. >> Yeah, but I'm saying I was still going to speed. I wasn't speeding or anything. >> I'm not here for speeding. >> Yeah, I know that. But she she not on my car. I was I was in the I don't know like I was before the line of the stop sign. >> Okay. So, I was just sitting there. She walked up to my car. >> Do you have your ID on you? >> Yes, I do. >> Just so I can verify exactly who you are. >> Are there any weapons in the vehicle? >> But the harassment's been going on for months. >> Okay. Why haven't you contacted somebody at the school about that? >> I didn't know where to contact them. I asked my mom about it. She was like, "You can probably call the school, but I just never had time to always so early." >> Okay. All right. So, what's going to happen now is based on witness statements and everything, you are going to go to jail for aggravated battery at the motor vehicle. Okay. >> Can I put my phone in? >> Yep. We'll let your mom come out and get all that stuff. Is there anything you want to go with jail with you? >> My phone. >> You want your phone? >> Your phone? Which Which one is that? The green one or the one on the hood? >> It's the one on the hood. So, why am I going to >> 1915? Like Miss Brown's 10:15. >> Can I unlock it to call her dad? I'm going to let her your your mom know. Come over here. >> Why am I going to >> told you aggravated battery of the motor vehicle? >> But I didn't hit her with my car. >> That's not what all the witnesses is saying. Your statement does not match what our independent witness said. >> What did the witness say? >> Witness said you drove up and you were in the crosswalk. >> I wasn't in the cross. >> Can you at least bring the door back to my mom? We will quick. What's your mom's name? >> What was that? >> Huh? >> You stay here with her. You >> Hello sharers. >> You're scared. >> Yeah. Let you know. Um, how do you say it? Zeta. >> Yeah. She's going to go to jail for aggravated battery at a motor vehicle. After speaking with the witnesses and her um it's found that she's she ran into the crossing guard intentionally with her vehicle disregarding the crossing guard's um orders to stop. Um so she'll be going to Lake County Jail. She'll have no bond. She'll have to appear in front of a judge and then the judge will issue her a bond amount. Okay. >> My god. Are you serious, sir? So her word means nothing. >> Well, I have the victim's statement. I have a independent witness that told me what they saw. >> Crossing guard trying to stop her for if you just >> I have no idea. I don't It doesn't matter. Crossing guard is pedestrian in the crosswalk. Pedestrians have the rightway in the state of Florida while in the crosswalk. Okay. Regardless if they're a crossing guard or just a kid or just some random person, they're in the crosswalk. they have a right away. Um, so because of that, because the independent witness and what they told me and what they observed and then what she told me and what she told me I can confirm is not true with some of the parts she told me is as far as what was going on. Uh, that's why she's going to jail. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> She'll appear in front of a judge and then the judge will issue a bond. She'll be allowed to make phone calls. She wants you also to be able to lock up her car, get some of her stuff out of her car, sit in the driveway. >> Is the keys in? >> I believe the keys are ready. >> Everything. Okay. You keep the license. >> I keep license to go with her to her phone. She'll have a phone. We get some in the car now. >> She's in my car now. >> Can I come out? >> Absolutely. If you want to talk to her, you can. >> I swear it's just a white thing like always. This is bro. Like I didn't even do I got a style over the [ __ ] job over I didn't even hit her. So I don't like white people. Like that's just makes no sense. It's always the white person over the black person. It's annoying. Been living here since 2019. I ain't never caused no issues with nobody. Does that make sense? Lady been harassing you for months. >> Is she coming out or something? >> Yes. >> You could only do it from the window. I didn't hit that lady. So, and she said she had witnesses and all that. It was nobody out there. It was only two people like three streets down the road. It'll be a lesson learned thing cuz they get your license, >> suspend your car insurance and everything and it'll be a real bad life with a record. >> Okay, I understand that position I have to leave work. I have to go get Leila and >> the lady don't even know you're going you're going to jail. It's not a good place to be. And I understand that if >> so I can't even get you out. >> If if Maurice and Aunt who calls my phone, just tell them that um tell them what happened. I already told them what happened before. >> Is it programmed under Maurice? >> Yes. >> And is it programmed under Aunt? >> Yes. It has like a red like raindrop next to Aunt's name. But if they call, just tell them what happened. >> From this point on >> I wasn't speeding it. I don't know what happened. The lady hit my car. >> You lucky that they're nice enough to just let me come out here and talk to you. I don't know what happened. I was not there. But whatever happened, you better let all of this be a learning experience. >> The lady's been record. >> The lady's been harassing me for months. >> Well, and you should have been done called the police and you should have been done reported it cuz now it's escalated to this >> and what you saying doesn't even seem to matter. You better hope that the judge >> Yeah, because I'm black. I know that. >> Okay. Well, you can say all of that in the in the in front of the judge. >> I know. I'm not talking to nobody else. >> Hopefully, you will be able to see a judge in the morning. They will give you a bond, >> but now you going to have to spend the night in in jail. >> You probably have to call my job. >> And you better hope that they give give them boards give me some money to get you out. I know Maurice well and >> are you going to be sitting up in there because nobody has any money to bail you out. >> I know. >> And and I don't know how serious of a crime this this is. I don't know how much time it hold. But now you got me in a messed up position because if you don't go to court in the morning who's going to keep Leila I'm not going to even be able to go to work. >> I told you that I called Terrence. I already told him about situation. He said, "Yo, get her from school if if I didn't if if I couldn't um get her >> and I need the information to the job." And now they don't they don't even need to know that because you going to get fired cuz now you going to have a record. >> No, everybody who works there being arrested and some people has a record there. My job doesn't care about all of that. You just have to tell them that I'm in jail. >> So what's the information to >> It's in my car. The It's in my car. It's it's it's in the front by the glove department. It's it's like a white car. It says Farm Park on it. It's Park Development Center. She got a dog. She wanted me to get the information. I don't know. >> The car is unlocked. >> You got your phone? >> He took my phone in the house. >> Did he take my phone? I don't. >> She say she don't have the phone. >> I got it. >> Oh, he got it. >> It's It's in the car. Keep the phone. >> No. How how am I going to call anybody to come get me or anything? >> Yeah, but if if they going they going to have you ain't going to be able to just peek the phone. >> I'm talking about I'm talking about >> they'll allow her to take go to the phone and pull and write down phone numbers and then she can make phone calls not off her cell phone but she'll be able to get phone numbers. >> Yeah. So that's going to take my phone. That's what >> So you telling me if Maurice call, do you want to try to give me his phone number so I could call him and tell him what happened? >> I mean, I can if he if he can unlock my phone and just go to the contact is it's in my call >> the phone number to a couple of people to call them. And >> she's alone. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You got paper handy. >> My code is long. >> Well, just put my face to it. Click the C. >> Is that the only call you're going to make? You need to make? >> Oh, yeah. Wait, what's my number? >> That's what I'm saying. You going to have to get it cuz he answer >> I got to cancel my procedure tomorrow. >> This is >> Hello. >> Hello. I'm I'm going to be um arrested, so I'm going to give my mom your number. >> What? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. She's Yes, sir. She's She's handcuffed in the back of the car. Uh police car and the officers are allowing me to talk to her and they allow her to call you. What's your What's your phone number, Maurice? Okay. Um you know, they taking her phone and all of that stuff. So, uh she'll probably be trying to call you collect, but I'm going to text you when I get in the house. So, you'll have my number. Um it's going to be no bond. Um, she had some type of physical altercation with a crossing guard where a lady said she hit her with her car while she was on her way taking Leila to school. So, she got no bond for right now, but hopefully she'll go before a judge in the morning and they'll give her a bond so we could try to get her out. Um, so I'mma I'mma text you real quick. So, you got my number. >> They ain't try to run no camera or nothing. They just listen to what they said. >> I I'm I I'll call you back. But I I don't think so. But they got some witnesses that confirmed what the woman said. So yeah, I I I'll call you back. >> Every case like this carries lessons beyond the specific outcome. The choices here are not unusual, and the legal consequences are entirely predictable. Here are five that apply broadly. First, a crosswalk is not a suggestion. Yield to a pedestrian a crosswalk is a legal requirement, not a judgment call. A driver's disagreement with a crossing guard does not suspend that due. Second, repeater a documented response. The driver claimed harassment for months but never called the school and never filed a complaint. That license left her with no legal standing when it mattered most. One corroborating account from someone with no stake in the result can close a credibility gap entirely. A single sworn statement was enough here to support a felony charge. Fourth, under Florida statute section 744.05 vehicles intentional draw with a person rolling into someone intentional karif. This deputy explains charges acknowledge the driver's drama's claims without dismissing them and maintain composure throughout and left no procedural voltity of the arrest. The law does not always produce the result evidence, rather one part than emotion. And when it is done the way this one was, the outcome tends to hold. That is exactly what happened here.
