It looks like he's on his phone right now. Parked in the middle of the road. Windows up, music low, and completely unresponsive. They asked if I want to file criminal charges. What does that mean? Who's that? My mom. Oh, okay. No, I'm say with him doing that, do you want to pursue charges against him where he would face the consequences legally? I can't I can't tell yes or no. I just don't want this to happen to you again, I can't believe it. Especially with your kids being present. are they going to are you going to call DCF? So, so because your child got hit by the door, it's it's not because of what you did, right? It's because of him. So, whenever they come and talk to you, they're going to see the report and see what happened, what he did here. Nothing that you did. You didn't do anything wrong. They're not going to take my kids. No. No, ma'am. No. Over over that, they were not they're not going to take your kids. Did he put his hands on you, ma'am? My neck pushing me. He pushed me in the bathtub and he snatched my cobra.

So, right now they they're they're talking to him right now. They haven't have him pulled over right now. Um, but as far as like legality and whatnot, um, when I do ask it, I have to have like a definite like if it's a yes or no type of thing. You can always ch you can always change your mind later on, but I mean with the severity of everything, I think you need to take account like what has happened today. charges against him for one assaulting you or battering you by scratching you, putting his hands around your throat, pushing the bathroom, and also damaging your property. It's not your fault. People have they you they have to learn to think about things they decide to do when they do things. It ain't from nothing that's I mean, he made the decision. He [ __ ] up. Excuse my French, but You have to think about these two at the end of the day. I know there's a gun involved. You don't know where people mindset is at that something bad. I could have walked up in here and my kids is gone. That's the thing that you have to think about. You can't worry about his feelings right now because he did not consider your feelings or neither one of their feelings. That's for him and his people to think about. Whatever he got going on, whatever happened after this or whatever, you have to do what you have to do to protect you and protect these babies. You see how long it took me to get here to you. I can't keep doing this. I know you might got love in your hearts for them or whatever, but I mean DCF is going to be involved here. They are going to get involved, are they not? Yes, they have to be notified. Exactly. They were present during it. It's not saying that it's not saying that you you did this, right? You ain't This is This is from him. This is from him barging to your house. No, I'll say I asked too cuz he said, "Was a gun involved? Did he at one point pull it out at all or he just said he had it?" I just know he has it. He The gun was never involved. Okay. Did he mention anything that he's going to shoot you or anything like that? No, he was threatening to kill himself earlier today. I had we were arguing and he went to the bathroom and he had his gun out. He started drinking and he's like, "Nothing matters. Nothing matters." I was like trying to talk him down like Jonathan don't leave. Don't leave. You know, just calm down. I can't believe it. Well, regard regardless of what calm down regardless of what all just happened, there's a way for him to be able to get help. Yeah. So, not not him getting charges pressed against him doesn't mean everything is bad against him because of that. That's his actions. Yes. But that's another step of him be able to get help. Joe Nathan J. This is really Jordan. Or is it Jonathan? Jordan is his sister. Jordan is his sister. What did he say? His name was Jordan. No, I just heard him call on the radio. I think he said something about Is that his sister's car? He said, "Want to watch me get Is he texting you right now?" Oh, so Hey, can you hear me? Jason, Jason, can you hear me? Yes. Good. Hey, he's texting her saying, "Do you want to watch me get shot right now?" He said she said that he he's been suicidal this morning and he had a gun with him and he's been drinking, but he just texted her, messaged her saying that, "Do you want to see me get shot?" This was no longer just a standoff. This was now a life-threatening mental health crisis with a loaded gun. Somebody better get ready to get in the car. Stop the car. Take your keys out of the ignition. Go and get up there and stop them. Okay, we need to talk to you here, bud. Hey, go ahead and shut the car off. Why don't you come out and talk to us? We got to figure out what's going on. Get your side of it. We can't do that if you're staying in the car just yelling at us. No. Yeah. Right now you are. Yes. Keep talking to him, Barbie. Shut the car off. Sir, go ahead. Shut your vehicle off. Go ahead and step out and talk to us. Sir, we need you to exit the vehicle so we can have a conversation. Instead of rushing in, they hold the line, begging over and over again for peace. He is texting the victim. He is texting the victim, asking her if she wants to watch him get shot. Jordan, that's a bad idea. Let's deal with this in a good way. This does not have to go any worse. Doesn't have to do that in any way. Come on, Jordan. Let's make a good decision. With no response, the threat of violence looms. Tactical units quietly stage, but still no order to breach. Got a shield. You got the Bearcat coming. Mhm. Um, what kind of a plan are you thinking? I'd like to at least get him on the phone and let negotiators talk to him. I mean, Spanky's a trained negotiator. If he can get him on the phone, that's like to talk him out of it before we force it, you know. Mhm. Yeah. give him every opportunity or with the dog. We probably need a shovel though. We're probably going to shove him forward. Obviously, we got the stop six down line for that. But, um, if we if we do go forward, back out here, we'll have gas in the vans. I say that's probably going to be our best bet is to either gas him out or gas. Just tell him to answer the phone. He can talk to the person. Jordan, answer that phone call. It's our office. They just want to talk to you. Talk to them and let them know what's going on. If you're not going to talk to me, Jordan, let us help you, buddy. There's no sense in anybody getting hurt. Get you somebody to talk to. Come on, Jordan. They're by that tree. See it up there. Kane, that's where he's going to be at. Is it out of my view? North side. Yeah, it's where they to big way up there. Yep. See him walking right now? Yeah, I got it. Yeah. Yeah, kind of. But it's it's Kane down. Keep your hands where we can see him. Answer the phone. Let's talk. His window still down or No, he's rolled it back up. I do. I mean, I know he can hear me cuz he keeps rolling it down. America will be going west direction. Yeah. Jordan, go ahead and step out of that vehicle, man. Let's go ahead and talk a different way. [Applause] I'm put in. Mhm. Here, you talk to him. I'll keep Jordan. Go ahead and step out of the vehicle, man. Let's discuss this and not go any further. We want to help you as much as anything. And we can't do that while you're inside that vehicle. Roll the window down. Let us see your hands. Step out. Come back to us. Come on. If he pops out with his hands up and he prones out there, I'll walk up with the shield. Maybe hard cover. You want to have Morlin swing up here with you to go hands on or something? That's fine. Okay. I'll stay on the mic. Keep right there. Jordan, if you get out of that vehicle, you can lay down right by it and we'll come to you. There's like three or four houses down there that we came from, too. They let them know it told him pump house to let them come out. Pull their spike shirt so that car can get out. There is. Just so you're aware, he has told us that he does have a firearm in the vehicle. I mean, I think at this point, time's on or continuing. I mean that item in my car my mind was to get him forced into taking off and hitting stop sticks and that disables the vehicle and obviously we're right back into this again but we've got to disable your window if we pressure him too much let us see your hands and he does have a gun in there right he could obviously do something to himself which is not our fault but right but like you said we do have we do have time I just don't know how to and let's deal with the situation. Roll down your window. You know what I mean? He's actually Open the door. Show us your hand. Week says we don't want to pin it yet cuz he's still Jordan, if you're on the phone with our dispatch, go ahead and talk to them for a little bit. Okay. What about flipping a vehicle uh backwards and bumping it with There's no good way to do that unless they take a vehicle from behind us. We might be able to do that. I mean, but I think if he's talking on the phone, let him talk on the phone for a little bit. I mean, we've got all the time in the world now. We've got stopsticks behind you guys. He can't get behind us. Yeah. Um he's already he's talking about basically suicide by cop on the phone with the victim. It sounds like to me. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. If it if it comes to that point, we'll have to figure out how to get his windows busted out and the gas launched in. But they're wanting to give it a little bit of time. And our dispatch is going to call you again. Go ahead and answer it and talk to them. If you're not going to talk to us, go talk to them. There's a propane tank directly north of where his car is sitting. Who's this coming in behind you? That's deal with this peacefully. Go ahead and roll down your window, open the door. If Show us your hands, and step out. If Kane's going to go anywhere with a long gun, he's going to have to go back here to the north of this house on the north side of the road. We cannot talk to you until you're out of that vehicle. Roll down your window and let's deal with it. I think so. I think his car is shut off right now. I can't tell 100%, but it doesn't sound like it's running. I I see the lights. I mean, the lights are Jordan, roll down your window. Open the door. Show us your hand. Step out. Let us deal with this situation. Again, none of us want to hurt you. We need to talk to you though about the situation that happened. We cannot do that while you're in the vehicle. We want to help you, but we can't if you're in there. Can you guys tell what he's doing at all when he moved? No, we didn't see his hands. We all see his head move. Okay, Jordan. None of us want to hurt you, but we can't help you if you're in there. I know you told our dispatcher that you wanted some help and you didn't think we're here to do it. We are. None of us want you hurt, but we need to talk to you. We want to help you. We cannot do that while you're in there. Hey, Jeremy, can you switch out with me here for a second?

Watch this. Watch this. And he also texted the scene to the victim on Facebook Messenger. Okay, I'm going to have the victim call him. See if she can talk him out. thing was if he rolls that window down again and we get a chance to drag him out the window, we're going to do it. You talking about with the dog car, tell her to tell him that she's willing to work with him, but he needs to step out of the vehicle and and figure this out the right way.
