So, at this time, no one's going to be near each other because we need to do our investigation. And cuz your child called 911 screaming and yelling, "Listen, listen. Your child called 911 screaming and yelling that you were severely beating." Okay. So, we're going to we're I know you have no marks. So, there wasn't a domestic battery that happened here. So, we have to investigate it properly. That means I need to separate everybody. Whether you're his mother or not, we separate people. His mother or not? It's besides the point. I separate everybody. Don't you threaten me. It's not a threat. You want to go to jail? I will call DCF and you and D pick your son up and I'll take you to jail for finally battery right now. You understand? Yeah.

Like you just said, remember you're the only one. Play that card with me. I will because I want to be next to Will because I told you to relax. So this definitely can speak to your son so we can figure out what happened. Speak to me nicely. You were so rude and how much you had. Okay. How much have you had to drink today? None. None. Hear that? Nothing to drink. Well, I actually did. I actually did. You had a couple drinks or one drink? I had a couple drinks, but it's not a felony. It's not It's not a felony, ma'am. just stay in here. It's just a simple question. Did you have something to drink? First of all, I appreciate so much your time because you're a very respectful man. Well, no, I'm not. You ask my chief, he'll tell you that I'm a very disrespectful freaking human being. Okay. But I'm being nice because I'm trying to figure this out. But I asked you a simple question that I have the right to ask you. But I can't hear myself. Yeah. You know why he's crying? Because he You need to actually probably get that kid in therapy because he is calling 911. I mean, technically by law, I can charge him with a crime. We're going to avoid that. I think he's to a point in our family where something like that has to come down. So, well, I think what you need to do is you need to get control of your child. You need to get him into therapy. My child is in therapy. Is he now? Is he now? Okay. Then you probably might want to call the therapist in the morning and tell him that what he did today. No, you know what? He did something wrong. is the guy that is a master control minder. And then it only takes five minutes for a person that smart to change your mind. Okay? I can tell you this. I can tell you this. Turns around. He didn't change He didn't change my mind. You know how I changed my mind? The call came out that you were beaten up and you needed assistance and there is not a mark on you. That's what changed my mind. So, he didn't say nothing. He admitted that you two were I'm talking He admitted that you two had a verbal argument and that child got in the middle of it. That child don't need to get in the middle of it. Okay? So you there's a control issue here and it's not just him. That child needs to learn who the adults are and who's in charge and that he's a child because now this isn't the first time I heard we've been called out by that child. You're right. He He All the employees fle Yes. Yes. And all the employees said the same thing. Nobody got beat up. Did you check his car? I didn't look at his I didn't look at his car. No. It's That wasn't the accusation. But the the problem is right now is we need to figure out what you're going to do with him so that it doesn't escalate more tonight. If I was you, I would give him a good scare. He doesn't seem to be scared of us. If I was you, I would give him a good scare. Now, what do you plan on doing tonight? Cuz I I think the best bet is you probably shouldn't go home with your husband. Do you have a place you can go? I wasn't planning on going home because I because we had a retirement party for the prep lady who working here for 25 years. And then I was planning to stay and sleep here because we have a roof in the back. Let me go talk to Johnny real quick. Hey, Johnny. The um so she's saying that you guys have a room here or something like that. Okay. She's saying that she's going to stay here the night. What do you plan on doing? I don't want to stay here because they are I I get that, but I mean is there cuz I I really think the best bet is neither one of you being together tonight just because the kids so wound up. The uh I don't want but I can't make you I can't force you to do it. No, I know. I'll make look I don't want to make you go someplace I'll make the right when this happened at the uh Thank you. When when this happened you know a couple months ago the com and they came they knew right away she was messed up I knew nothing and the the police they didn't know what to do because they know they they knew like I didn't know anymore but I just a list of guys and I told them about the room I said I'll just leave and they said oh thank you. So, I came here. I get a room and I left them at, you know, the condo. The condo. I'm going to mitigate. I'm not going to, you know. No, no. I don't think you're going to do anything, but I'm just I want to avoid any escalation because she seems to still be wound up. He's still I mean, the deputy is still trying to get the kid to calm down. Um I don't know. The kid's a special uh Yeah, my case. My partner uh my partner was one of the officers that was at the condo issue, so he advised me on the way here. So, I I kind of had an idea of what was going on. The uh and he warned me about the kid. So, he's willing to take her home cuz he doesn't want to stay here all the alcohol. Are you Are you willing to take an Uber back to your condo? Uh an Uber. I guess John doesn't want us to stay here. He He'd rather stay here. Oh, he rather sustain it. Oh, well, that's fine. Can I have my son at any point? Yeah, once I have a talk to him, but uh I don't think Oh, figure that out and then have us get our [ __ ] together. So, we've been getting over, I guess. So, my dad needs to Thank you for doing that. Listen, young man. What's your issue? So, um, well, I I already Can you maybe tell him? So, what I have so far is they got into an argument about him having a girlfriend. Um, he pushed her, uh, which made her bump into him and then he got around in front and then he pushed him. Um, and mom was holding a ladder and when he when he pushed him back into his mom, he hit his head on a ladder. He hit his head. Yeah. But the Is it Did I get all that right? Okay. But the stuff that push, right? You said he pushed your mom first and then he pushed you. Is that right? Push his dog. Is that right, Ferris? All right. So, but what you told the 911 dispatcher was that your mom was severely injured and that police needed to come immediately. Well, I just need you guys to come before it escalates. Okay. But see, here's the thing. When you say things, certain words, it makes police officers respond a certain way. And that puts my life in danger. It puts my partner's life, this deputy's life, and then the people around us. And on top of it, I don't know if you knew it, but it was raining so hard that I couldn't even see where I was going with my windshield wipers on. And I'm trying to get here because I think your mom is about to end up in a in a hospital. And I get here, she's got no mark on her. She's walking around. Can I see her, please? Hm. Can I just see her, please? Like, you guys could be right next to Okay. Well, this is how we have to do. This is how I do my job. Okay. This is how we do it. Your mom's fine. This is what I explained to you first. We got to talk to everybody separately. Yeah. So, what we're going to do is you and mom are going to go back to the condo. Okay. And I think you guys are going to take an Uber back to the condo. No, we have a car. Well, she's not capable of driving right now cuz she's been drinking. Well, can you guys maybe drive us because I don't feel comfortable. Me or her don't feel comfortable in an Uber at night? Well, I I can't We can't transport you guys in our car. That's why we're going to put you in an Uber, a taxi. Ubers are pretty safe. You're not You're You'll be okay. Like a safe Uber. We would not suggest it if we didn't think it was safe to be. Okay. Yeah. Like if we lived in this city, maybe I might not suggest it. But we use We use Uber and Lift all the time. I use it also. Yep. Yes, I do, too. This is how we avoid getting DUIs on ourselves. All right. So, I'm gonna get I'm gonna go talk to your mom one more time and then I'll let you go see your mom. Okay. Thanks for helping us. Mommy, I got to talk to you one more time. Mommy, you're lying because you're a liar. Why is he lying? What's up? Why don't you guys arrest me? You saying I'm lying because I said she hit me, but I'm hit you. Okay. So, arrest me.

If you go to jail, that child Listen, let's go. That child's going to end up in in in a home. You know what? This is what's going to be because apparently I am the bad guy. I didn't say you were the bad guy. I'm trying to get you home safely. No. That's what I'm trying to do. No, no, no. You know what this if you see the last time we called the cops and you see today something is going to happen. So this that's why I'm trying to get you home with your child while Johnny stays here. Ah and that's going to change everything and that's going to change everything. Maybe you can get a Uber and you get done. What if you take Johnny? What if you take Johnny? Why? Why this pattern keeps happening and then would you just separate us? What about Johnny take a little medicine? What if he takes a little taste of his own medicine? No. No. Right.
