Hang out with >> the male provided false statements about what had happened and accused her of being an alcoholic. >> So, I take these very seriously. I take each person's account completely thorough and through. Okay. So, basically, I took your account. You're alleging that in the past, you know, it has got physical against you. She's thrown batteries at you. She's caused you bruises on your arms. But these are all in the past and you have no visible bruises today. You do not want to file a complaint of domestic battery. She's alleging, you know, in the past that you grabbed on to her, that's why she has the bruises. I know you said she has alcoholism. You alleged at first it was just verbal and then it kind of turned to physical. She told me off the bat that, you know, you've been, like I said, she's not pressing charges against you, but we have visible evidence that um a battery was occurred. You said you did grab onto her. She's got some marks, but she is not being cooperative, and everything will be detailed in the report. Okay. Unfortunately, per the state of Illinois, someone's got injuries we have to make an error. We told you it was us, not her. If you're unhappy with that and want to still blame her, that's on you. >> Tighten all good now. That's what they should be. Proper fit. I can fit my fingers in there. That's what you good, Michael. >> I understand it's frustrating, but there's stuff we got. >> East 30 has 95. >> Not I'm liable. That's I got to search it. But that's why I have to search a person. Search all your pockets. Okay. >> [sighs] >> While officers were taking the male into custody, he intentionally threw himself to the ground, prompting officers to request an ambulance. >> Okay. I guess put it in his face. >> Yeah, we can. I'll >> So I just >> I did not press on him and he's going to hate me. I didn't do anything. >> I already told him that. >> I didn't press any charges on him. He's going to hate me. He just got a job. He's been laid off for 4 months. Now he's going to lose it because of me. I didn't call you guys. >> Cheryl, >> I'm having everything that you told me is going to be documented. Okay. That's what that you don't want to sign complaints, that you aren't willing to cooperate, and that you don't want any photos taken of your injuries. That's what I can only ask you, you know, to do those things. I, as a victim, we want to give you all those. I want him to go to jail. >> Well, that's why he has to. According to the Illinois state law, he has to go. >> If we have probable cause that a domestic battery occurred, we have to make the arrest. >> There's no domestic battery. He didn't do anything. He can't go to jail. He just got a job. He's been laid off. Now he's going to be gone for Yeah. Get him out of there because he can't go to jail. >> Well, that's what the decision's already been made. Okay. >> What am I supposed to do? >> What do you mean? What am I supposed to do? >> So that's what I can offer you social services. >> I don't have social services. I don't want social services. We both just start to do jobs. >> Well, that's what we haven't been able to find your phone. >> He doesn't have it. The only >> supposed to do anything. I >> I don't know. >> How am I supposed to know if he's okay? >> But that's what I I can't advise you that. But that's what he is being arrested for domestic battery. [laughter] >> I know you don't, but it's all going to be documented exactly that you don't want him to be arrested. Okay. [snorts] Which would you guys prefer? Front or on to the side? >> Not to the car. >> Okay. >> No. >> Which house we got to go to? >> Hey, we're done. You want to come out here? >> All right. We're going to stand you up and then we'll adjust your cuffs. Okay. Bring your one knee in. >> We need you to get your feet under you a little bit. Pick you up. Ready? >> All right. Ready?
