I'm >> Did she get spit on you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. They wanted her trespassed. I gave her multiple opportunities to leave the property. She refused, so she wasn't going to leave. So, she's arrested for trespassing at this point. >> According to police, Marissa resisted commands, yelled at officers, and became combative, forcing them to intervene. As deputies moved in, Marissa was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Meanwhile, Raphael Mendoza Serrano was also identified as a suspect, accused of assaulting a family member, violating a protection order, and even interfering with a 911 call. Officers also cited Manuela Serrano Hernandez for rendering criminal assistance during the incident. The once chaotic home was finally secured, but not before multiple arrests were made and emotions ran high. >> Where'd you take Raphael? >> I told Jacob to Raymond if he was going to go to Man. >> He was hiding over here. >> Yeah. Well, guess what? You're being charged with rendering criminal assistance for taking him leaving the scene after he assaulted Marissa. So, you're being charged for that. >> Okay. >> Okay. You need to tell me where he's at. >> Won and Raymond. >> Where at Raymond? >> Uh, the bus stop. >> The bus stop. Which but which bus stop? >> The one next to the um laundry man. >> Okay. Do you do you not see an issue here whatsoever? Do you not see an issue? You think it's okay for you to take him after you saw what you saw >> and he did what he did? You think it's okay to load him up and take him away and let him leave? >> No, I know. I know that. >> You know better than that. And that's why you're going to be charged. I could take you to jail for that right now. >> Yeah, I know that, too. >> We're dealing with Marissa constantly. Now, again, she's causing more issues. >> Jose is part owner of this house and wanted her trespass because she's doing the same stuff. >> So, she's trespassed from the property. She refused to leave. So now she's under arrest for trespassing. And as I was taking her by, she spit on him. So now she's arrested for assault, too. >> What could have been a what could have been a factor is you not taking him somewhere else to get away from the situation and calling 911 >> and reporting it. >> Yeah, I guess they did call 911. But >> they did. You didn't? >> No, because I had I didn't have no phone. >> No way to call them. So was that was my first >> Okay. So you so you just take him to Raymond and drop him off to get away from the situation. That makes that makes a lot more sense to you obviously, right? >> Well, I know I was I know I was concerned with my daughter, too, but that was the point at that time to take him away from her. >> Okay. So, like I said, I'll get a criminal citation for you. I could take you to jail right now if I wanted to, but I'm not going to do that cuz I'm already dealing with enough of what's going on today. So, I'm not taking you to jail, but you're going to get a criminal site for uh rendering criminal assistance, and you'll have a mandatory court date that you'll have to appear at. So, I'll get that get that to you at some point tonight or tomorrow. Okay. >> That's going to >> No, you're still you're still getting it whether you tell me where he's at or not, cuz I'm not playing this game with you where you protect him, then you want to report him, you protect him. >> Why not protecting nobody? You you left the scene with him and took him away from what was going on. I know you know what took place. >> Mhm. >> You don't get to do that. >> I know that. I know. But I had no choice cuz obviously you don't know that fighting. >> Obviously, you don't know that. >> I was not going to let him keep fighting fighting. >> I I'm done here with you with this. This is the way it's going to go. >> Okay. >> These situations need to be taken care of. >> Okay. >> Mhm. Just letting you know too, I'm sending a CPS referral for your kids at this point as well. >> Thank you. >> Cuz they're not safe. >> Thank you. >> At this point with you. >> Okay. Yeah. >> We want the safety of everybody, but at the same time, you guys need to figure out what's going on and maybe if Raphael and her are the common denominators of issues, maybe not allow them here anymore cuz she's not allowed here anymore because she's trespassed. So, if she shows back up, she will be arrested. So, it needs to be figured out. And also, I'll be sending a referral to CPS for the welfare of her kids because they're not safe being around her. So, that's where we're at. All right. All right. Try to have a better night, man. >> Don't step out. I really do have a heart problem. But if you want me to die on your hands, that's fine. >> He checked you out earlier and said you were totally fine. >> Oh, it's a >> It's a body scanner. Yeah. To see if you have anything on your person. >> Wow, that's so cool. >> Hello. All right. >> All right. Hello, sir. How you doing? >> Pretty good. How are you? Good. >> Okay. Go ahead and just hang out with your buddy for a second. >> Thank you so much. >> All right. >> In the end, Marissa de Los Santos was arrested and charged with fourthderee assault, domestic violence, secondderee trespassing, obstructing a law enforcement officer, and disorderly conduct. Raphael Mendoza Serrano faced two counts of fourthderee domestic violence assault, interfering with the reporting of domestic violence and violating a protection order.
