Uhuh. It takes only 10 seconds to say
no. But it can take a lifetime to pay
the price. It doesn't matter. You're
charging me. This is my life. I get to
tell my story. Yeah. So, why you keep
grabbing me? I'm holding on my Seems
like a small matter until the cell door
closes. Let's look at the following
situations. And think about it. A simple
arrest warrant, but this woman turned it
into an uncontrollable confrontation.
Goodbye. You keep grabbing me. I'm
pulling out my pants. On January 5th,
2024, police were called to Mariah's
apartment to serve an arrest warrant for
her failure to appear in court as
required. Although the warrant was
relatively light, she reacted violently
from the beginning. So, you got a
warrant. You need to go with us. It's
But it's like a PR warrant. Okay. I

what you were supposed to do then. But

No. For what? Can I get some shoes? I'm
not going to go outside with no socks.

shoes. No. You need to put your hands
behind your back. I don't have on no
bra. I don't have on no shirt. I don't

like that? Because I just told you it's
a notice to appear. Why? You're done.

put me in cups and I'm trying to get a
jacket and shoes. I already explained
that to you. We will do that. Didn't I
do that for you last time? No, you you
didn't put me in cups first. You left.
No, you didn't. You let me get my stuff.
It doesn't matter. Let me go. Mariah,
stop. Let me go. Just let me go.
Stop. This cuff's just too tight.
Stop.
Stop.
When the police made clear demands, she
argued delayed and challenged authority.
A handshake, a refusal, and everything
exploded. From there, there was no going
back.
Stop. Get off
me. I can't. You're grabbing me. Put
your hand back. Let me
go. He's on me, though. Roll over. Roll
over. Maria, I'm Get off of me. I can't

arm out. Get off. Tell me to get off me.

Get off. Stop. Get off of me. I'm trying
to cooperate. Get off me. You're going
to get tased if you don't stop. Why are
you trying to tase me though? Because
you're not putting your hand behind your
back. You are resisting. I'm not

saying. Get off of me. This is not
necessary. It is. Cuz y'all noting

needed. It is. Get off of me.
Stop. Get off. You're already in
handcuffs. Mariah. Okay. Get off.
Screaming, "I cooperate and struggling
like in an action movie. You won't
believe your eyes." She doesn't give up.
Even if the shoes don't fit or the coat
isn't worn, but what is the real reason?
Those are still not double locked cuz
they're not fit correctly. I stay up.
No, cuz I'm trying to get a jacket as
cold as I saw. No, I have a big ass cold
in the room. You wouldn't let me go back
there and get it. Correct. Cuz I don't
know what's back there. I just said you
could walk with me. I said you could
walk with me, you dummy. No, cuz y'all
boo. Y'all going to have me go outside
with no shoes, no coat. It's cold as
hell. You got my cuffs tight as hell. I
already tried to fix them and you pulled
your hands kicking at him. What are you?
Cuz he was on me. He wasn't trying to
fix them. He was had as me in the back
of my back of my hamstring. All you had
to do was go in handcuffs. We could have
walked back there, got it, and been out
of here. And you No, I told you to come
back with the room. me. I need this. No,
I need to put on a different shirt. My I
don't have on no bra, no nothing. That's
not how this works. Okay, I told you.
That is if I'm trying to cooperate. You
weren't cooperating. No, you using
excessive force for noing reason. Stop,
Miranda. That's not how Mariah, stop.
Can you let me go? Can y'all stop
grabbing me? Sit still. Let me go then.
Okay. Damn. No, I'm not following
orders. Y'all not listening to me. Do
you understand? You're going to catch
another charge. I'm going to catch catch
another charge. I'm not resisting.
That's not resisting. You using
excessive force. Unnecessary excessive
force. I already explained I'd like to
fix your handcuffs. Will you grab her
shoes? They're not my shoes. I can't. I
had on these big socks. My shoes not
going to fit in that. Go ahead and
confirm she's in custody. Even though
she was handcuffed, she still tried to
prolong the game and forced the police
to act. From a peaceful morning, she
dragged herself into a more serious
charge with just three words. I'm not
going. Stop. I can walk on my own. Then
walk. Then walk. You're You're dragging
me. Yeah, cuz you're resisting. I'm not
resisting. Y'all using excessive force
when I R. This is nonsense over a
warrant that I just Okay. And I just
told you it's cold as hell outside.
You're not letting me get a jacket. I
don't have on no bra, no nothing. I
would have let you get a jacket. No, you
wouldn't have. I said we can go get
myself. Okay. Let me go. I can walk
downstairs myself. Let me go.
Well, that's not how this is going to
work.
You're going to harm yourself. I'm not.
Y'all grabbing my arm. I got hurt.
Stop. You let me go. I can walk on my
own. Not after the way you just acted.
Would you like me to fix your handcuffs?
No. Leave me alone.
I'm more than willing to fix them before
you're transported if you would like it
fixed. Would you like them fixed? Door.
All right. Watch your elbow, please.
Not only was she arrested under duress,
but she also faced a charge of resisting
arrest. A classic example of how
disobeying police orders can make a
situation much
worse. Police were called after a woman
refused to leave the stadium when asked
by security. The game was over, but the
nightmare was just beginning. Just
because of a reminder the dream of
wearing a white coat faces the risk of
going up in smoke. A seemingly harmless
signature becomes the boundary between
freedom and prison. Arrested for not
listening. Yes. I'm about to lose my
whole nursing license for not listening.
Not because I caused you to back off and
not touch me anymore based off of what
somebody else told you. I haven't fought
anyone. That would be resisting with
violence. I fought you with violence.
No, I said that would be resisting with
violence. That's a different charge.
That's crazy. Like you come from the
same place I come from. What are you
from? Puerto Rico. I'm from here. I was
born in Gainesville. But are you Puerto
Rican? Yeah, my dad's from Puerto Rico.
Okay. That's crazy. There's no way that
you're religious at all.
Do you please explain to them what I'm
signing?
This is a court date right here. This is
a court date I want you to 12 11:23
at 1:30 p.m. Okay. All right. And it's
gonna be for an appearance for this
charge, obstruction of law enforcement.
Okay. Can you explain to me what that
means? So, basically, I was giving you a
lawful order after I was told by one of
the staff members they wanted you
ejected from the game. After me
explaining it to you, you refused. You
never explained it to me. I I did
explain to you. You never explained to
me why I was being ejected from the
game. You told me that someone made a
report, but you never had that
conversation with me as to what the
report was. I never had a a conversation
or altercation physical nor verbal with
anyone that was involved in the game.
Failure to cooperate not only wastess
time but also opens a door of no return
in
court information to a charge. It's a
big deal for me. I understand. I'm not
saying that it's not. I'm just I'm
trying to help explain because you don't
really care about this and he's not
about to charge me for something that I
didn't do. I didn't fight you. But do
you ever fight anybody around me? He's
not charging you with fighting. Do you
understand what he's charging you with?
Violence. Something about violence.
Without violence. So nothing about
violence. Let me explain it and just be
quiet and listen to what he's saying.
He'll explain it all. We're the same
people. Bro, that doesn't have anything
to do black and Puerto Rican is the same
thing. That doesn't have anything to do
with it nor has everything to do with
it. Okay, let him explain. You going to
let him explain? You can't explain
because you don't understand where I'm
coming from. This has everything to do
with it. Okay, let him explain. Okay,
you're not me and you're not him. So,
you don't understand. I'm trying. And
I'm not about to lose my whole life
over. Are you going to let report? And
that's crazy that you don't get that.
Do you want me? That's crazy. And I hope
you don't believe in God. All right, I
got caught with this multiple times. Are
you going to sign this agreeing to come
to this court date? Not until you add
without violence. it. It's right there.
ROV, without violence. Okay. Because I
studied nursing, not criminal justice.
Her family is waiting outside, but she
is trapped in a vicious cycle of
arguments. When every opportunity given
to her is rejected, what will happen?
Been tried to arrest me because of what
people told you. But I haven't had a
fight nor argument with anybody tonight.
You don't care. You don't care because
you're not me and you don't have kids
that look like me, but you're the same
person as me and you still don't listen
to me. You're a Puerto Rican, which is
basically black. What's the problem?
Nobody's trying to bring race into this.
Okay, it doesn't matter. You're charging
me this is my life
because of what people told him. You
keep telling me that you're going to let
him explain, but you're not letting him
explain. You keep talking. I get to tell
my story and I express myself. Here's
where we're going. I don't want to hear
it.
If you don't find this, you get
transported to the jail and you get
booked in. Right now, I'm trying to help
you get to your family and leave with
them tonight.
That's what I'm doing with this. The
alternative is I take you straight to
the jail from here. What is the problem
that you're charging me with tonight?
I've explained it to you multip.
So, I came up there 130 lbs. What is the
threat? I explained to you you were
being attacked. You never did. Okay.
So, those are the choices. This or go
back into the handcuffs, get in his car
with him, and take a ride out to the
jail and spend the night in the jail.
And I know that you don't want to do
that. This allows you to go home.
Well, right now you're not agreeing to
sign this. The alternative is for me.
What part of you though? She has. We're
the same person. She's Can you step out
for a second? No, but she she'll be out
in just a minute. We're trying to get
her to sign something we can let her go
with you. Otherwise, she's gonna have to
go to the jail. She's just not listening
and not still stubborn. No matter how
the police explain, they still refuse to
understand. Failure to cooperate not
only wasted time, but also opened a door
of no return. You're with the same
person, bro. And this is what you're
willing to do to impress her? I do not
want to be here. You I do not want to be
here right now. Are you going to sign
Who reported me for what is what I want
to know. The people that managed the
stadium. Who? I haven't had a fight or
argument with anybody. Listen, this is
how it works. You don't have to have a
fight. It's just like when you go into
somebody's business, right? You go in
Walmart and you upset somebody in
Walmart and they say, "We don't want you
in here anymore. You're trespassing."
And then it doesn't matter. You don't
have to do anything, right? Walmart can
just not like the way that you're
interacting with people or whatever. and
they say, "Hey, we call the police. We
want her out." Okay. And so that's what
we're doing. We're just acting as the
stadium's security today and we're
saying, "You need to get out." And you
wouldn't go when he first asked you. So
now I need an explanation. What did I
do? I went to you already. No, you
haven't. You haven't had a conversation
with me until Miss Hayes, the sergeant.
It was too late to ask for a signature.
The police lost patience explaining and
a ticket to jail was issued to her. Just
one wrong decision could destroy her
career and honor. Miss Hayes, Sergeant
Hayes, I hope you understand. I do
understand. I need you to sign this or
we're getting ready to put you back in
an ecos. I'm not going to 3333.
You will if you don't sign this. I'm not
going there. Okay, then let's sign this
right now. Let's I'm not losing
everything that I was working for.
You're about to if you don't sign this
piece of paper and show up in court.
That's all we need is a signature and a
fingerprint from you and you are on your
way with your family.
You can talk to the judge about all of
that.
Yeah. Loops.
Come on.
Here. You got to sign right here.
Sign your name and we'll put your
fingerprint on it and you'll you'll go.
I can't I can't lose everything that
I've worked for. I can't go
through everything. I go through all
and you don't understand that because
you're not me. You accept this or you go
to jail. Those are your only two
choices. Except that I did this. I'm not
we're you signing this is not saying
that you did it. I've already explained
that to you.
It's just a promise to show up and tell
the judge your side of the story.
No, she's almost refusing to find the
NPA. You might have to take her out to
the jail because she's not I can't go
back to 3333. I'm telling you I can't do
it right now. We're just trying to have
you sign this. So all you He's going to
get somebody to play your spot so you
can't get her to jail. No, listen. This
is it. You sign this right now or you're
going back in cuz you're going to the
gym.
That's it. This is it. The spin needs to
be taken sneaked up within 10 seconds.
Sign this or you're going to go to the
gym.
Okay. Well, then you're going to the
gym.
I can't go to 3333. You have to. That's
the only trick. Let me sign it. We just
spent 10 minutes trying to let you sign
it because I need to understand.
Listen, you got your chance. Uhuh.
We gave you the chance not to.
I can't do it. Please.
I'll just Listen, we stood here for for
20 minutes with you trying to get you to
sign it. Sorry. Yeah, I deserve an
explanation. We gave you explanation. In
the state of Florida, the act of
obstructing a law enforcement officer
without violence is defined under
section
843.02 and is punishable by up to one
year in prison or one year of probation
and a fine of up to
$1. The obstruction of official duty
charge could result in criminal charges
if she is convicted in court. Failure to
comply and negative reactions could
further damage her personal record
affecting her employment and her medical
license. While everyone has the right to
say I disagree, sometimes the wisest
thing to do is to know when to shut up
and sign. Hey guys, what do you think
about this situation? And if you like
