[music] >> Was she ever in the house during this? >> Um, she was in the house past occurrences where he has beaten the [ __ ] out of me, but she was asleep. But she has been in the house when he has beaten me. [music] >> All right. So I am officer legal task department. I'm conducted official criminal investigation concerning domestic battery. Any false statements about material matters given by a witness under oath constitute perjury [music] which is a first degree misdemeanor according to section 837.012. Raise your right hand. [music] Do you swear or affirm the evidence you're about to give me is the truth and nothing but [music] do you understand that I can only make material mistakes during this investigation. You have committed the crime of perjury. >> Yes. >> You've already been sworn in. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, we're going to take >> Can you attest that everything you told me while we were standing over there over here? That is >> that is [music] true to your the best of your knowledge? >> Yes, >> that is. Okay. >> So, we'll take all of that as your sworn verbal statement. [music] >> Um, I just have to ask some clarifying things. >> You said he punched you once in the face. Which eye did he punch you with? >> Kind of like in the middle or so. >> In the middle? >> Yeah. >> Like you could see I have bruises. [music] >> So was it more like your nose? >> He kind of punched me like in this right there. >> Okay. What you can do from here is you can go to the courthouse and get an injunction against him. So, my question is what's going to happen now? >> Well, obviously I need to talk to him. Um, and then we'll go from there. He may or may not go to jail tonight. Um, but I'm just telling you what you can do >> as far as keep things. >> I mean, he's supposed to be here, so like >> I understand. I'm just telling you the options that you have as far as keeping him away from you in the future. [music] So, you can go to the courthouse and petition for an injunction against him. You can use this case number. Do you have you ever previously reported any instance of domestic battery against him? This is the only time. Okay? So, listen to me as far as your your options from here. Okay? You go to the courthouse. You can use this case number and you basically tell the judge everything that's happened and you need an injunction against this person because of everything that's happened in the past. They may or may not grant an emergency injunction while they're in the process of granting a permanent one, but that's that's up to them and how well you articulate your fears and what's happened to you. You can also because you guys live together whether or not he took his stuff out of the house last night or not. You still need to be I would just get an an eviction >> while you're at the courthouse. Okay. >> So then he can't come. Hey, listen. >> You need to breathe. We're kind of we have the we're giving you options on what we're trying to help you on what you can do forward. Okay. But you have to breathe. >> How am I supposed to get home? >> Okay. Just listen. listen to my options for you, okay? While you're at the courthouse doing the injunction, he said he took all of his stuff out of the house last night, right? >> And see if your landlord can change the code, okay? Because then at that point, since he's already taken his stuff out, we can start to articulate. Okay, now he doesn't live here anymore. >> So, I'm just Well, we're trying to figure it out for you. >> You have to listen to me. Okay. >> He messes me back, right? >> He's on the way. >> Okay. >> So, he's coming here. Just exit out of the chat. >> So, what do you want me to do? >> Exit. Just exit out of the chat. Lock your phone. Don't send him anything. >> So, when he comes here, what is he going to do? Like get arrested? >> Just please listen to me, okay? I'm going through the steps with you. While you are at the courthouse getting your injunction, also get an eviction. So then he can't come back and say, "I live here." [music] Then you will be able to show no I evicted you. >> Yeah. The sheriff's office will will give him vote. He'll >> What's going to happen? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I inter tonight. Okay. This is what's going to happen tonight. Okay. >> Let's get you service and let's see if we can get you home. Okay. If he's coming here, >> he's way here. He's 20 minutes away. >> Fine. That's perfect cuz then we're going to talk to him. Okay. But at least in the meantime, we can see if we can get you home. So then you're both not here. want to go home. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And we'll figure that out. We'll get you service. Okay. So, you can get to go home. If he's on his way here, >> if he's on his way here, >> we'll wait for him and her and I are going to talk to him. Okay. >> Okay. [music] >> All right. That's what's going to happen tonight. >> I just trust him more because like I don't know. >> Okay. Okay. Well, do you have service now? >> No, I don't. >> Okay, Chad. Hold on. You should still you should still be on on my Wi-Fi. >> Just say okay. [music] >> And also from this point on try to block him curate any sort of communication you can have with him. So block him on Snapchat, block his number, block him on everything. Okay? Cuz then you can also show the courts, hey, I have now have no communication with him at all. Yeah. Okay. So, this is just another suggestion to think about cuz I know you don't want to go home. Okay, >> I want to go home. I'm scared. >> I know. Because of that, you can also see if you can get a hotel room just for a couple days until you're able to go to the courthouse. Okay, >> I can't pay for that. >> Other than that, then I highly suggest calling your maintenance group to see if they can just change. >> I've already called her three times. >> I can't afford a hotel room. >> Okay, just call in the morning as well. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. >> Just try getting them to change it. It's like the your the best thing you can do at this point. Okay. >> Like cuz I have a taser. So if he enters without >> you can protect yourself in your home. But >> hold on. >> But if he has stuff still in your house, >> he does not. >> Okay. I'm just saying if that's what he's going to say, it's going to be a little >> on the edge because he just took his stuff out. You see what I'm saying? Cuz he was already living there for over like 3 4 months. Okay. >> No, he was not. He was it was like >> well whatever it was May to now. >> So um okay so if I also have documentation of >> okay the documentation even if you're you're the primary person on he has been staying with you for that amount of time he lives there. >> Okay that that's that. >> Okay he has established his residency at that place >> in beats the [ __ ] out of me. So >> as of right now technically he still kind of lives there. Okay. But once you change your box and you can confirm he has taken all his stuff out of your house, he doesn't get mail there and stuff. Okay, then you can get the >> documentation. Actually, I actually, you know what? Actually, [clears throat] >> I have it documented that she got it changed. >> When did she change it? >> Yeah. No, she changed it the 27th. >> Look, yesterday. >> Okay. So, she did change it. >> Yeah. So, >> okay, then you're fine. But he still knows because like him and I were together and he watched me. He pulled me aside and watched me put in the code. So he knows. >> Okay. Well, I don't know why that >> ask her to change it again. >> Yeah, >> I tried. >> Okay. >> But um >> Well, then like I said, you need to contact her in the morning then. >> But like I said, I have documentation. >> Okay. But >> if he knows it now, no good, >> unfortunately. >> Yeah. Since he was there when you changed it, then that gonna kill me. >> He's gonna [ __ ] kill me. >> He's gonna kill me. >> Yes, I already did. >> I'm terrified of it. >> Okay. These are the options we giving you. And unfortunately, that is the the only option we can give you at this moment. Okay. >> He's going to kill me. >> Okay. Well, if he's on his way here coming to talk to us, okay, he's going to be here. Okay. >> I just want to leave when he gets here. Please. Please. >> You can leave now. >> Can I leave? Are y'all done? Y'all are completely done with >> Yeah, we're we're good. No, you can leave now. >> So, we're going to hang out here and see if he comes >> for you tonight is >> to get a hotel room. >> Yes. >> I can't afford >> because then he will not he won't have he won't know where you are. You blocked him and everything >> and then at least in the morning in the morning you can talk to maintenance and say I need this immediately changed now and let them know your situation so they can immediately change it and you can go home tomorrow morning or something or tomorrow afternoon. Okay. Monday morning, first thing you go to the courthouse and start that injunction and eviction process. >> That's like your best bet. Okay. Unfortunately, it's like the weekend cuz if not, we would tell you to go like right in the morning cuz then that would just solve everything. >> I appreciate y'all. Thank you. >> Okay. But she's going to document everything and we're we are going to talk to him. >> I'm sorry I've been a booty butt. >> It's fine. Trust me. >> Like, >> okay. We just want what's we want what's best for you. So, we will want to make sure you are going to be safe. And I know it's I know it's a tricky >> pictures everything you needed for me. >> Yes. And that's all going to be documented and that's all going to be uploaded for you. Okay. Everything's going to be under this case number. Okay. And what did he what did he do? >> He hit me.

We have to talk to Nicholas. >> Can I say something before you talk to him? This is about Hana. >> She tried to choke my son yesterday and we had to go pick him up in the middle of the night cuz she was a crazy >> Well, we need to we need to talk to him. >> That's fine. I just want to let you know she's a crazy drunk person and she's abusive to him. >> Okay. >> And we had to go get her and she has been boiling up his I understand which is why we're here because we want to talk to him and give him his side of the story. >> Okay. And we do have um when we had to go pick him up yesterday. >> Mhm. >> She was inside her house. Like we recorded this. I have somebody here that recorded it on her phone. There was we have multiple witnesses where she's in the house screaming like demanding. And I told her, I said, "I'm going to call the cops if you don't leave us alone and let us get the things." Because she put her hands on me yesterday. Um she put her hands and stuff on me when I was in there getting. She shoved and pushed me out of the way. I never touched her. I never did anything >> and if this is going to escalate I want to press charges on her >> because she can't mind. Can we talk to yourself first and then we'll talk to you about everything after >> we're going to do one? Yeah, we're going to do one thing at a time. >> We just need to talk to him first. Mom, if you'd like to talk to us outside, we'll talk to you. >> Okay. So, she called me yesterday morning, I guess 2ish 3, something like that in the morning. Said, "Tony, I need to come and get him or whatever." They were fighting and arguing, whatever. And like, >> so, um, she said, "Oh, he put his hands on me. And I said, "Okay, well, what did you do?" And in my in the background, my son is like, "Tell her how you were choking me and everything like that and I've been defending my life because you were trying to kill me." And so I said, "Well, I'm coming for him." So we got over there and his baby mama and her boyfriend met me over there. I said, "We're we're going to get him. We're going to get him out now tonight." This is not the first time that she has tried something like this. She's like crazy. She's a raging alcoholic. She drinks all the time. She steals my liquor. Um, I've been trying to get her out of my house since Easter and cuz she was supposed to come and stay for two weeks. >> I need a place to stay for two weeks. I said, "Okay, you can stay the night for two weeks." She was never on my lease or anything like that over here. And um, so she um, so we went to get him yesterday and everything and then we're over there and she's like she would not leave us alone to get anything like we're trying to like get us stuff. I said just stay in the other room. I said, "We don't want to escalate this situation or anything." And um and I'm downstairs. We're getting stuff or whatever. And she literally comes by me and shove pushes me out of the way and everything like that. Shoves me very forcefully or whatever as we're just trying to get stuff out, begging him, "Don't go. Don't go. Don't go." And I'm like, "No, we're going." I said, "If you don't leave us alone, I'm calling the police." I said, "Because this has gone on long enough." And I said, "You will go to jail because you have put your hands on me now. Leave us alone. Let us get out of here." and she is like has been blowing up his phone. Holy G I have to say I called her some names last night. I will say that. I was like, "You're a bad person. You're I'm 48 years old and I've never ever called another woman a cunt." But I called her a [ __ ] last night. I said, "You're a [ __ ] You're a bad person. Leave me alone. Leave me and my family alone." And she said, "You're a shitty mom." I said, "No, I'm not a shitty mom. I'm here in the middle of the night picking my child up." >> Mhm. >> I said, "Your family wants nothing to do with you. you are done with us. I said we're done. And she won't leave him alone. Keeps blowing up the phone. Has been blowing up his phone all night. Like he has one phone that gets on the internet. They just uses for games or whatever, but I guess his messenger's attached been blowing up all day where she has been incessantly messaging him. And then when after he and um I sent him with um Callie's boyfriend gone, we're outside the house, you know, getting ready to leave and she's in there screaming like we recorded it like they're gone. when mommy video the parking lot or whatever. She's in there screaming or whatever because she's so mad, threatened to kill herself if he didn't come back and like we're trying to leave and I'm literally standing between her and him like this. I said, "Get away. >> You're not coming near my son. Get away." And she's trying to push me out of the way. And I said, "Get away. Don't put your hands on him. Don't touch him. Leave him alone. We're leaving. You said you wanted him gone. I got him going. We're going." >> Mhm. >> She is crazy. There's something wrong with her. I don't know what, but there's Do you have the video? >> Your phone. >> Do you have your ID as well? >> Yes, I do. >> This Yeah. Come here, kid. I want to take you home. >> I'm showing you guys the video. >> Yes, please. One one second. >> She can't. This is outside. We're outside and she's >> This is when you guys were trying to just get in the car and let >> Hold on. Cuz I didn't want her to call you guys and say he was beating on me or the neighbors call say he was beating on her and that's why they were called because we were screaming and he just left or something. So we stayed. >> Okay. Like she is like saying she just called. She says she just begged him to come and pick her up at the hospital. And I said you tell. But the reason that I took this was because there was another time when we were all living together. He literally came into mine in our daughter's room. That's my baby daddy. He came into our daughter's room and he was like, "Yo, I really need a witness." Because when they were walking home from the bar one night, she was extremely drunk. She gets like this every time she's drunk. And she ran into the stone wall. We used to live over there. So she ran into the stone wall and she was taking pictures of it. And she was like, "I'm going to tell them that you did this, this, that, and the third." So he barged in my room panicking cuz obviously he didn't want to get told that he couldn't do it. >> That's just me and his mom out here. This is downstairs. We're outside. >> Elyently just me and Nick's mom outside of her house right now. She is in there screaming bloody murder. >> No. No. She just stopped crazy enough. >> I don't know if she was watching when I was recording or something, >> but she texted me the code to get into this apartment and everything over there and she apparently, you know, and I told her, I said, "You have a problem holding jobs. You've gone to jobs drunk. She gets fired all the time." I told her, I said, "You are not our problem anymore." >> Yeah. you know, because she's like I've been trying to get him away for her from her for months and this it finally came to a head last night and she's like >> last night when we were there too, it was like really weird. She had snippets almost where she was really angry and she would just lash out and start screaming at all of us and then she was fighting and >> and then she's begging him to stay. Don't go. Don't go. Don't go. And I said and um I told him, I said, "Get in the car." I said, "Get in the car." She goes, "You don't talk to him like that." And I said, "He's my son. I'll talk to him the way I want to. Yeah, >> I'm telling him to get in the car cuz we're getting away from you >> or whatever. >> Um, we've already told him, but I highly suggest you talk to him as well and >> or you guys do the same thing >> and go get an injunction against her. >> Okay. >> Um, you go to the courthouse. >> Okay. >> So, what he's filling out now isn't the >> No, that's like a a statement for everything that happened yesterday. It's just pretty much him that it was. So, >> no, no, no. That's not it. That's something you have to go physically go to the court >> and then you can use I'll give you the case number and you can use the case and stuff >> and just explain everything that's been going on. >> She's trying to make it all like she's trying to make it all like it's all him that >> he's not getting arrested. >> He's not going to get arrested. >> Yeah. >> And like she was like texting his friends saying that he had been beating her. >> I also suggest whoever has her phone number whatever you contact just block her on everything. He needs to block her on everything. I have absolutely no sort of contact with her whatsoever cuz it will help his injunction a lot more and especially with what's going on and what we're going to document and put into our report, >> there should be no communication. And because then if that is served and it is served to her and it is in place, well, if she comes over or he invites her over, then it's out the door. He would have to get a whole new one, >> right? And I told him, I said, "I fear that she would hurt you." Because she's already, she said, "I'm going to kill myself if you don't come back." She needs to be Baker. There's something going on there. Like, I'm going to kill myself if you don't come back. I said, "I don't care. Let her." I said, "This is not our problem." I said, "This is just her talking." I said, "I'm telling you now, if you go and see her, she's going to hurt you." And like saying that his 5-year-old daughter is the problem in the relationship. >> A 5-year-old who is the most wonder Oh, she's my granddaughter, so I'm biased, but she's the most wonderful. She wasn't there yesterday, right? >> No, no, no, no. My husband was here with her cuz my husband's like, "If I go over there, this might I" I said, "No, no, I'm going. Don't you don't go." >> Okay. >> Cuz he doesn't like her. He hasn't liked her. He's been like, he does not. He He's like, "I don't Why is she still here?" She said it was 2 weeks. She said it was 2 weeks. Why is she still here? He goes, "Does she have any of her stuff here?" >> Nothing. Nothing. She never lived here. >> They lived together in a different apartment. We lived in same just a different apartment we moved cuz that one was that apartment flooded a couple times so they moved us to here >> and everything and um >> you know and I had told him yesterday morning was it yesterday Friday morning I guess Friday morning like he called me and I could tell some like I said so just leave her alone don't worry about it I said but you can come home I said I want you to know that you have a home you don't have to stay he no mom everything's okay but apparently she had It just built up all day. Like she's >> she has a a drinking problem and let >> me go get the right. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So I mean she abuses him. She is manipulative. I have never >> other than with my friends who I managed to get away from people have seen anything like this. And >> she had a similar situation and I got her out of that. So she's very protective of him even though they're not together. Um, she's protective and does not want him in a situation. >> I'd like my daughter not to be raised without her father. >> Yeah. >> I mean, it's I know we have a weird situation. We have baby mama, boyfriend, and son and all together, but we are we all get along and we're family. >> Mhm. >> All the issues we've had, he's never put his hands on me. Never made you think he would. Nothing. >> Okay. So, you and him. >> Yeah. >> You guys have the daughter together. Yeah, they have the daughter together. Um, and so >> together for like 4 years, engaged and everything >> and she >> never never felt threatened by him. >> Yeah. And she got married to someone who ended up not being the best guy in the world and >> very similar to >> very similar to the situation. She is just witnessed this in her own life and I was like, "No, I'm coming for you. We're, you know, I told her, "Nope, you're coming. Don't don't worry about that. You're coming." I highly suggest Monday morning, go to the courthouse and start the injunction process, >> okay? >> Cuz then it it might take a while for the judge to grant it. They're probably going to set the court date where you come in and just >> explain everything to the judge and then they'll grant or not. It's entirely up to them and how well you articulate your fears. >> Like I fear for our lives with her because she's like >> as well as him. >> Yes. I mean, I fear that if she thought him alone that in her mind, state, whatever, that she would hurt him and then hurt herself. Like she And honestly, I think if my granddaughter was there that she would hurt her, too. That she would just take out everybody. I really >> I watch the murder shows all the time. I'm like, "Oh, this was crazy. She's acting just like these people do." And I'm like, "This is fearful that I'm afraid she's going to hurt somebody." >> Mhm. And use like the case number. >> Okay. Um, the report most likely won't be ready like for you >> until probably about Wednesday just because it has to get approved by my sergeant and then it has to go through records and they have to upload it to the system. >> So hopefully Wednesday if you go into the police department, you'll be able to get a copy of the report. >> Okay. >> And if you need that to show the judge so we can read through everything that happened. >> But yeah. >> Okay. I really appreciate you guys cuz like I was like, "Oh my god, he's going to get arrested for nothing." You know, he didn't do anything wrong and because >> I said we always have to talk to both people, >> right? I was like, "She's crazy." Even if she she'll make it like she's completely the victim and everything like that. And you know, I told her and she has always been like when they would have arguments at home and he would say, "I'm going in the other room. Leave me alone." >> And um she would like go in there after him and I said, "Leave him alone. you stay out here with me and leave him alone. >> She used to write all his [ __ ] flush his [ __ ] down this way. >> Yeah. Flushed his necklace, flush it down the toilet, break his stuff, all kinds of crap. And I said, she got I said, why are you with her? Why? >> Yeah. >> Like, you know, I've been telling I said, "You can do better than this. This is this is not right." >> I said, "This is not right. You don't deserve to be treated like this." And I >> and I'm just like, "This is crazy." Mhm. >> I've firsthand never seen until her. I've never seen anything like it where it's like in my face and I'm like, >> "Yeah, >> me, your daddy, >> when especially >> if she does like even if the injunction isn't like in play yet and she does like let's just say show up here or something, you can call us and we can trespass her from your property." Okay. >> Okay. So, that means like it'll be it's usually good forever. But if she pretty much comes here and we come here and she's here, she can go she can also go to jail. But the injunction's in play, that's 10 times better. This is just if the injunction isn't in play yet process or something like that, you can do that as well. >> Okay. I know they don't always grant them cuz I had a violent person before and they didn't grant it. >> Yeah. But hopefully hopefully >> it depends on how >> he was coming to my job to kill me and like had told multiple people this and I didn't get it. But I've never had contact with that person again. So >> as the evidence and statements were gradually clarified, the truth behind the incident began to come into focus. After verifying details on scene and [music] gathering all necessary information, officers reached a final decision to place the involved individual under arrest. This moment marked a major turning point in the case with the entire sequence captured on police [music] body cam, showing how law enforcement managed the situation and carried out the arrest process by the book. >> Hey, you remember those?
