address. When's the last time you seen
her? She I she made contact with me
during my divorce proceeding which was
August 11th of last year. That is the
last time she showed up unannounced at
court and I had to have her removed. I
haven't heard from her since or talked
to her. I've got her blocked on
everything. You came to the door. Mhm.
Was the door? I opened the door cuz she
wouldn't stop knocking and my
three-year-old. Yeah. Like I'm talking

got her finger stuck, but I was trying
to get I was like, "Get out of my

into it as well. Um, so I'm going to
backtrack. I actually have police
reports on her
from when she's been stalking me. Just
hang tight right there. Okay.
She sort of
pass seen her since August last year.
Mhm. She showed up here being on the
door. She opens the door. She's pounding
on it and she pushes her way in. They
both have injuries.
What? Okay. So, in group work? Yes.
She's doing what here? To contact him
and they haven't contacted at all. He
has not contacted her. She just shows up
randomly to talk to him because he's
with another girl.
Come back here. I'm just going to my car
real
quick. Okay. I get
back home together.
[Music]
Do you have any weapons on you and your
person? Any guns, knives, bombs, say
device fighters, anything like
that. Examine your pockets just to make
sure.
Yeah.
Okay. I'm going to grab your purse here
in a second. We're going to have a seat
in the patrol car and we can get
everything figured out here.
Um I have a um police report. Space the
car for me. where I
live. I wouldn't like run. Yeah. Have a
seat for me. I'll grab your purse.
Come in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
Just a little chucked up. Yeah. I know
you talked to the other officer. Uh, so
just give me the run now. Like what?
Why? What happened? I have no idea. This
girl and I used to be friends years ago.
Okay. Um, she showed up unannounced at
my divorce proceeding last year, August
11th. I don't know how she got my
address. I haven't talked to her since.
That was back in August of last year.
Yeah. Yeah. And I guess the only thing I
seen is her and her struggling cuz she
was trying to come in the house. This is
my house, man. We have a 3-year-old
upstairs. So, I got in the middle of it
trying to, you know, get them away and
just try to slam the door on her, you
know, so she don't come up in the house.
She started swinging on her. She got
marks all over me. Yeah. Okay. Um I saw
that all this happened like right here.
Yeah. Right here. Okay. She got about
right here. Mhm. And I kept trying to
get the door. I was like, "Sam, get
back." I was trying to push her back and
she got her fingers right here and I
start pushing the door. I mean, she
probably marks on her from it. I
wouldn't doubt it, but I said, "Get the
[ __ ] out of my house and she wouldn't
leave." And then she sat right there on
the porch and that's when I called you
guys. So, I'm like, "Yeah, I'm not doing
this. This is I I don't know." She's
trying to She's trying to claim that
she's that you guys are boyfriend
girlfriend for the last 5 years.
You stop. Yeah. You stop talking for a
little bit. So, she just comes down here
from drug court on a completely
unannounced to talk to you because you
harassed her. Yeah. No, she's actually
made like three different Facebooks to
try to contact me. She's even gone as
far as like contacting my baby daddy,
trying to make up some story about
Michael. Um, and then I blocked her each
time. But no, she kept like knocking on
the door, like hammering the door,
ringing the doorbell. My baby's asleep.
So I answered the door and I was like,
"Can you please leave?" And at that time
she's like shoved on me trying to get in
the house and I was like shoved back and
I'm like, "No, my daughter's in here."
And then she grabbed me by my throat and
that's what I held over Michael. We've
never been together. Me and her were
just friends. Me and her been together
over a year now and we live together. So
I'm like, she don't even know my I don't
know how how she got my address. She's
blocked on everything. Okay. I mean, I'm
a reserve. Do you have any injuries,
man? Yeah, I got a scratch there. Yeah,
she went to grab up my watch cuz Michael
told me to call the cops. So, I was
trying to use my watch and she grabbed
up my wrist, threw my glasses off, broke
them. I think I got dicks though. Maybe
not. But I was trying to separate them
two and she got me a couple times. Okay.
Yeah, cuz the way she was describing is
like she banged on the door. He didn't
answer the door. She came answered the
door. She was like describing like
everything happened here and then kind
of here.
Nope. Sir, I had to get in the middle of
them two to separate them because I
didn't want any issues. I just wanted to
get off my property. And she wasn't she
was just pushing back on me trying to
get in the house. And I kept telling
her, you know, I got a baby in here and
you have three.
So she she How did she get inside
exactly? She was just pushing on me,
grabbing like I said, grab my throat
right here. Sam, can you step for the
officer? Sorry. We're just trying to
reenact this. She was like this trying
to push like this. I got in between them
two like this trying to push her back
and push her out the door. And then when
we finally got her out the door, she
kept swinging at her and I was trying to
separate them two and that's probably
how she got me. And then I kept trying
to close the door and she was like this
trying to open the door and that's what
got her fingers. You probably see
Marshall her fingers and I was just
trying to get the door shut. I was
literally like this trying to push them
two back. Okay.
All right. So, I I'm Do you guys want to
fill out a uh written statement? Yeah.
Yeah. So, I kind of had this one. I kind
of had to improvise. These are normally
crash report statements, but I'm all out
of the regular form, but it's pretty
much kind of the same thing. Just a
couple things you don't really have to
worry about.
Um, I need each one of your guys' name,
birthday, address, phone number, and
then you can just basically use the
grids. So, you put your name, uh,
birthday, address, phone number, and
then skip down. Just give me a
description as far as what exactly
happened. Yep. And then you just sign
somewhere in the bottom or something.
You go get a couple pages.
We're just
watching. Uh, what's your what's your
name, sir? It's Michael Butcher.
Did you guys ever have any kind of
relationship or is it just friends?
Is there is there any reason why she
would be inclined to think that you guys
had have been in a boyfriend girlfriend?
I mean, we had a friends with benefits
type of thing at one point. Okay. Yeah.
Years ago, though, and she showed up
unannounced at my divorce proceeding
last year. And I was just completely
shocked. I was like, why are you even
here? I and then she said she found it
because she searched public
record public record anyways but we have
never I don't if she says she has
tattoos just please I'd love to see them
I have nothing I have blocked her on
everything. Did she say why she showed
up? Um I guess because you guys have
stopped talking for a while and then she
basically want to confront catch and
claim that she is harassed her and all
that fun stuff. Have you ever contacted
uh her ever? Like Facebook or anything?
She's messaged me a couple different
times about different like random
Facebooks. What kind of stuff was she
saying through the messages? Um she's
tried to get me and Michael to break up.
Like she's been like, "Michael's
cheating on you with me." Um what's I
don't know other stuff. She tried to
tell me that Michael had previous child
molestation charges against him. Um
trying to get me to leave him. Uh just
stuff like that.
I know. I look like I did. Of course. I
was a cop for 12 years. She's, like I
said, went as far as making a Facebook
and like messaging my baby daddy and
like trying to tell him the same stuff
like Michael has a child molestation
charge. She's tried to say something
about Michael's ex-wife. Um, just
anything and everything. Getting to
either like leave Michael or cause
issues. Like I said, she's even, like I
said, messaged my baby daddy and he
messaged me. He's like, "What is this
about?" And I'm like, "Dude, I don't
know.
I have no
idea is here's what I'm thinking. I
mean, she has no reason why she would be
here. You know, why why would she come
from Greyport all the way down here
except for some kind of bad intentions.
So, there's definitely a physical
altercation between all you guys. I
mean, once again, I think I could
probably put it to where she would be
the primary aggressor. Once again, no
reason why she should be here.
The thing I keep on hanging up on is is
is there a possible burglary charge as
well? That's why I'm trying to finangle
and figure out the threshold and that
sort of thing. You met the fir you had
first contact with her. All I seen was
them struggling and that's why I ran in
here to try to protect her because she's
taller than her. I mean, she can handle
her own of course, but I'm not going to
let anybody hurt her, you know? That's
just the natural instinct to protect
her. I've been trained to do this and
stuff like that. Yeah. She's strong.
Jesus. Yeah, especially when emotions
are all over the whack. Yeah. I um I
mean, holy [ __ ]
Honestly, I don't know if it would go
that far, but definitely assault for
sure. I was going to say at the very
very minimum it could be assault. Very
minimum assault, but yeah, you can see
all over, man. She She got me good.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's So, the I'm
I'm just We could push the burglary
portion. It's just that would be I mean
she would go to jail tonight, be charged
with burglary and then it would have to
be a speedy trial and then everybody
gets subpoenaed and all that fun stuff.
But yeah, of course um if you're if
you're okay with the assault portion
because I can for sure for sure prove
that. This girl needs to be taught a
lesson. I can't I want her away from me.
Okay. I I don't know how she got my
address. I don't know how she keeps
bothering me. Like she doesn't
understand that I I don't even want
friends with her no more. She was a good
friend of mine years ago when we worked
at the casino. And that's that's when
she'll tell you we met at the casino. We
were friends. Yeah. And Okay. But we
never had a relationship. Okay. Yeah.
Gotcha. You guys finish those up. I'm
going to grab my camera. Be right back
in. Okay.
All right. Oh god, that hurt. Yeah.
Sorry about that. Um, so you mentioned
that the other lady had harassed you,
stalked you, that sort of thing. Can you
kind of go into detail about about that?
I
so last year his divorce got finalized.
Uhhuh. Um the only reason why she is
involved was so he could lose
everything. And I I know that sounds
really super crazy. Um
but literally since she has been
involved, we have not our like our
everything about us and trying to talk
Mhm. has changed like since August or
so. No, since October of 2021. Okay.
Gotcha. Um is when they actually started
talking. Once they started talking, she
started giving them all these lies about
me and you know that I'm a stalker, I'm
this, I'm that. Mhm.
Um
and she
and his ex-wife along with his ex-wife's
best friend has been stalking me on my
parents' property cuz that's where I
live is with my parents up in Groveport.
Okay. Um that's why I was actually going
out to my car. I wasn't trying to run or
anything. I was trying to wrap up police
reports. Yeah. Um and I'm just So, were
they showing up in vehicles? Are they on
foot or how were they No, they're
they're what they're doing is Well, the
first time around they were in um his
ex-wife's best friend's vehicle and they
circled around my parking lot. Um the
last time they went they were sitting in
my neighbor's driveway, which is like
in front of my house. Mhm. Cuz my
driveway is really weird. And could you
like from a distance could you like so
it's basically identify them like
positively identify them? Okay. Um so I
did not expect her to be here. Mhm. Um I
just simply came to talk to him. I
wasn't trying to get violent or
anything. When's the last time you had
contact with Mike there? This is the
first time at this actual location here.
This is the first time. But the last
time I actually had physical contact
with Mike was August 20. No, August 11th
of last year and things were not violent
between us. We actually had a genuine
conversation, but it's when 32year-old
Was that a face to face conversation or
Yeah, it was at his courthouse. It was
at his divorce finalization. Gotcha. Did
you guys like we hugged, we were
talking, we were I was holding him. Mhm.
I was everything. And but when she is
around, he is a completely different
person.
Have you guys talked via telephone, text
message, social media, anything like
that? He won't answer his text messages
and it's because she's around. When's
the last time you had contact with him?
Like text message for example?
I don't know because honestly when the
last time I actually tried to talk to
him via text, she got involved. Mhm. And
they were all threats. Okay. Now, how
long ago do you think that was? March of
last year. Okay. So, you basically
haven't talked to Michael in a ver in
pretty much a long time, right?
Can you kind of see from But it's But
it's all her. When she's not around, he
is a different person. When's the last
time you and Michael hung out? Besides
the divorce hearing, that was a family.
Can you kind of see where I'm starting
to get at?
It's a little out of place, especially
if you live in Grocport. You guys
haven't communicated talked for since
2021. you show up here and then there's
some kind of disorderly some kind of I
do want her arrested for stalking
because I know she's going to come back
at one point. Yeah. If the stalking is
occurring in a different jurisdiction, I
can't enforce that. That would be up to
Well, my police department won't do
anything. Yeah. So, and that's basically
my standpoint. So, the only thing I can
deal with is what happened here, right?
So, it could go basically one of two
ways. Okay. Which are not great. First
way it could have went would be
potentially aggravated burglary and
assault or
assault
because once again you guys haven't
communicated since
2021. They show up here tonight and
there's definitely some type of physical
altercation occur. They have injuries. I
haven't looked at you yet, but I'm sure
you probably got something out of the
whole deal. But it just doesn't make any
sense why you would show up here to try
and contact him and then an obvious
physical altercation cuts loose. That
doesn't it just doesn't paint a very
good picture. Okay. So, you are going to
be arrested tonight and booked in for
assault. Okay. Which is in misdemeanor
the first degree. Okay. You could have
went burglary which is an F1 felony one.
We're not doing that. Okay. So, that's
Are they putting a restraining order on
there? They can apply for one. um either
restraining order or protection order,
but they will have to contact the court.
If they have to contact the magistrate
and whether whether one gets issued,
that's between them and a magistrate. Am
I going to be able to get released
tonight? It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be
tonight. 68. Okay. It wouldn't be
tonight. Today is Saturday. No, today's
Sunday. Tomorrow morning we have court.
Okay. So, more than likely probably be
released. Don't hold your breath. But
more than likely be released tomorrow
morning. So yeah, court at 0900 hours.
Okay. Can I make a phone call? Um, where
is your phone? Wherever my purse is at.
It's up
front. Get your phone. I'll put on
speaker. That way you can talk wherever
you need to.
Um, I'll look at your hands. If you have
any injuries, I'll take pictures of
those. Take pictures of theirs. And then
that's basically it. Like I said, it
could go completely different direction.
go to the the felony portion which said
if we were basically in the threshold so
like even just another 3 in further
inside the house is probably where we
would end up going.
So any questions or anything for me at
the moment? Um I want can she get
charged for putting hands on me. So
here's the other the other part of the
story
here. She's lived here with Michael or
whoever who knows how long. This is
their residence. This is their house.
You show up from Groveport completely
unannounced. They're trying to say that
you were the primary aggressor
regardless. There was some type of
verbalation,
physicalation. So they would have to a
degree as far as a right to defend
themselves in their property. So some
would defend it with a gun, which thank
heavens that didn't happen because
things happen probably pretty quick. So
it just end up getting physical with as
far as personal weapons, hands, that
sort of thing.
So, I'm not going to arrest her for
assault because it just doesn't make any
sense. If you were trying to get I want
her arrested. It's not how it's going to
go. Okay. So, I will document everything
you said. Document everything that they
said. But what's going to happen with my
car? It should be fine. Um, which one's
your car? It's the blue pilot in front
right there. Yeah. Okay. It should be
fine. Um, it's parked legally, so
there's no reason why it would get
towed. It's locked, correct? It should
be. Okay. I can also check that when we
take it off. Um, so I'm going to grab
your phone, check your car, and I'll be
right back in a few minutes. Okay.
Get the statements done. Yes, sir.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh,
yeah. So, this is who she goes by, and
she's been blocked. Okay. I don't have
any numbers of her. I probably have
numbers that she calls from and I block
them every single time. Okay. So, yeah,
that's who she goes by, but she's going
to block. All right. Cool. Beans. Uh,
where were your injuries at, man?
Uh, do you know how to apply for a
protection order?
Yes. I if that's something you're
interested in or I can refresh your
memory. We need to We have kids in this
house. Yeah. I don't need that. Um,
basically you go down to Chilov
Municipal Courthouse and uh get a
petition for a protection order. Yeah,
sure. Sure sir. And then
well with her being arrested out of a
out of a violent offense, you might be
able to get an exparte, but uh I just go
down the courthouse on Monday. Um any
other questions or anything? What what
is she charged with burglary?
Assault times too. So if that's
reasonable for you. Yep. Yes, sir. Um
she needs to be up, man. She's crazy.
Yeah. All right. You guys need anything
else? Just let us know. Okay. Thank you.
Have a good night. Sorry about that. Old
house, man. Yeah.

assault. If convicted, what do you

sentence? Share your thoughts in the
