So if you want him out of here in the fact of just get out of the house and go get away for the night, >> he's got no place to go. He'll end up back here and you guys will be here again. This is what happened last time. >> So that's that's what I'm asking you. So do you want it in that sense? Because he's drunk so I can't just let him walk around. You know what I mean? So we've got to figure that out. >> No, no, no. I'm pressing charges or you want Okay, that's what I'm asking. >> I'm pressing charges. Okay. >> You you don't you don't have to worry. >> Okay. But the only problem of it is he's in big trouble because I'm 71. >> Yeah. You know, >> I don't know if that's considered a senior, but >> Yeah. So, you know how that works. Hell, >> okay, that's fine. >> Hey, but usually >> No, I get it. >> I just get tired of being hammered at, you know. >> Yeah. >> That could be epic. >> Hello. >> Sorry. It could So, so how do we get to how did that happen? >> What did you get? Is there a bruise on my forehead? >> You had a scratch, man. >> I don't know. >> You don't remember? >> Unless one of those amazing breeders touched my forehead when I came running out here to say goodbye to my call. >> I was like, "Go home. Go home. Go home." >> Did your parents know? So, your parents were surprised that you had a a guy over? They weren't surprised to have my friend over, but they were surprised to have some event happen when I came upstairs. I was very elaborate. Like, let's say I >> Did you walk up there naked or something? Did you and your man your man boyfriend go up there? >> Okay. >> No, but but it's a great question though. It's It's great logistic question. No, I just came upstairs like drunk like, "Hey, what's up? How are you doing? How are you doing?" And she's like, "You're up, aren't you?" >> Okay. I understand. >> And I'm like, And I'm like, "No." And she's like, "I can tell your eyes." And I'm like, "No, I'm fine." And I walked downstairs. She goes, "Daddy, please up." There you go. There you go. That's actually the most perfect example. >> Have you What have you had to drink? Well, >> I've had alcohol. >> You know that. Otherwise, I wouldn't talk to you for example. In that case, I deserve this. So, arrest me. Hey, so Evan, I want to see what's going on on you, too. All right. Hey, that easy. I appreciate that. >> Evan, hey.

He was totally fine the whole time. >> I don't want you to think I'm >> Yeah, I'm like, "What do you mean? Where am I going to take him?" No, I know what you mean. >> I appreciate that. >> Hey everyone, it's Trent, prior deputy sheriff, patrol sergeant, and K9 handler. When you hear of a domestic violence call, a lot of people tend to think that that only qualifies for those that are in a relationship, whether that's husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. However, it can also look like the incident that we saw in this video, whether that's between parents and a child or siblings or people that are cohabitating together. And for the most part, it's handled the exact same way as if those people had been in a relationship. And in a lot of states, even though they are just child and parent, but they reside together, that also comes with a mandatory arrest law or policy. And these officers did a terrific job with deescalating this suspect throughout the vast majority of this incident. And as a cop, that's exactly what you want to do in a situation like this, especially since the suspect was just reported to have been violent. He's clearly intoxicated. And saying one wrong thing with his level of intoxication could potentially set him off, and then more than likely, these officers would have to go hands-on. And it's always best to avoid that if at all possible. And the ending with this situation is definitely the best case scenario when it comes to these types of calls. The son was taken into custody and charged with multiple domestic violence related offenses, but remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
