Today we're reacting to a chaotic body camera arrest from St. Petersburg Police Department in Florida. A 19-year-old woman named Crystal went to a bar, got heavily intoxicated, and was asked to leave by security. Instead of leaving peacefully, she allegedly attacked the bouncer, hitting him in the face. Officers arrived and this is what went down. Look at this. She's already on the ground being handcuffed. You can hear her saying she didn't do anything, but the bouncer clearly has marks on his face. She keeps repeating that she was only there for a few seconds. Do you have anything illegal that we need to know about? >> Have a seat. >> The officers handled this very well. They didn't rush in aggressively. They listened to the bouncer's statement, checked for injuries, and gave Crystal a chance to explain her side. Their decision to arrest her on scene was based on visible injury to the security guard and multiple witness statements. >> She was intoxicated. We asked her to leave the bar. Told her we had the right to refuse service. Started pushing and punching the first time inside. I'm like, "Leave. Leave." She come outside, took another hit again. And then she was out here took several swings at me out here. And another security guard come over and started getting between us. >> Did she make contact with you? >> Oh, hell yeah. >> Where did she make contact? >> My head. >> You hit in the face? >> Right in here. >> Was it a closed fist or uh >> Uh I got more of a hand. >> Oh, cuz you put your hands up to block it? >> Well, no. I got more of a hand. >> I don't even know what happened. >> Nothing. I swear to nothing. I swear to god. Like next thing I know I'm on the ground. And they're pretty handsy up on me, but >> Now she's in the back of the patrol car. She's still denying everything and asking to speak to the bouncer. You can see how intoxicated she is, slurring words and very emotional. >> I'm sorry again. I'm feeling attacked. >> I mean, I can't leave it open the whole time. Is it Can you feel the air? >> Can you bring something over here to But um Tell you why this is happening? >> The other officer is doing that. And that's not the one investigating it. >> All right, can you I'm not trying to be funny right now, but can you scratch above my lip, please? >> scratch above your lip. >> It itches so bad. >> Ma'am, do you want to come inside? >> Excuse me. Can you please just get that Excuse me. Can you please just get this hair off my face, please? Thank you. >> This woman made several critical mistakes here. First, she was underage drinking in a bar. Second, when asked to leave, she chose violence instead of walking away. Third, even after being arrested, she kept arguing and denying reality instead of staying quiet. These choices turned a simple trespass into a felony battery charge on a licensed security guard. >> All right, I'm just going to read you your rights, okay? Nope. Do you have the right to remain silent? Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have them have them present with you while you're being questioned. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand these rights as I've explained to you? Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me? Yeah? Okay. So, what happened in there? What >> Can I be completely honest with you? >> Yeah, be completely honest. >> I came downtown with my sister. She works at Apple. Sorry. >> No, you can take your time. >> She's still trying to explain herself and even asked the officer to scratch her nose. The denial is strong, but the evidence against her is stronger. >> Sorry, it's really bothering me that my hair is in my face. >> Do you want me to move it for you? >> Please. >> Okay. >> Um All I have to say is that I was going to meet my sister downtown. >> Okay, who were you in there with? By yourself? >> No, I wasn't even in there with anybody. >> You weren't in there cuz they're saying that you were in there. >> But please bring them up here because I wasn't in there. >> All right, I'm going to look at camera, but basically what they're telling me is that you were in there, you were you were highly intoxicated, they were they were going to they were trying to get you out cuz they were refusing service to you, and then you took a swing at the uh security guard and hit him in the face. >> Can I talk now? >> Yeah. >> I was in there for maybe 10 seconds, and next thing you know, I'm on the ground. So, please, can you please bring her who said that out? >> Did you uh did you hit him at all? >> No, I swear to God. >> Okay. >> In Florida, battery on a licensed security guard is a felony, enhanced charge because security guards are protected the same as law enforcement in many situations. Even a slap or push can qualify if it causes injury or is done intentionally. >> Okay. >> Can I if maybe they took my hair and and and did something, maybe I was mad and then something. But no. >> Are you intoxicated right now? >> No, I swear to God. >> Because there were multiple witnesses and visible injury, officers had strong probable cause to arrest. Crystal was charged with battery on a licensed security guard, a serious offense that can carry jail time and a criminal record. >> Okay. All right. I don't have any other questions, okay? >> Okay, but um >> So, right now you're basically just going to get a charge with a felony right now. Uh it's a battery it's battery on a Leo cuz obviously they're licensed security guards, so you can't put hands on them, okay? I'm going to look at cameras and all that, but uh we pretty much have a lot of witnesses saying that you did that, okay? >> Okay, but Can you please bring me a burger? Did that first. >> All right, I'm going to talk to them, okay? So, just sit here. You You're going to put They're going to put you in the in the transport van and you're going to go up to Uchi County Jail, okay? All right. >> Listen. >> Yeah. >> I'm not trying to be angry. I'm I'm okay with whatever, but like if I talk to you, is there anything that you can help me with? >> I'm I'm sorry, I can't. He He It's a Like I said, it's a felony and he wants to prosecute, so All right? >> No. >> This is a classic case of alcohol impairing judgment. Crystal was heavily intoxicated, which lowered her inhibitions and made her react violently instead of rationally. Many young people underestimate how much alcohol affects decision-making in public. >> All right, just watch your legs. We're going to close this door now, okay? >> No, please. >> That's my job. >> Ma'am, I don't want to make this more difficult, okay? Just watch your Just watch your knees, okay? >> Can you Wait, wait, wait. >> Yeah. >> Take my >> Where's your ID? It's in there in the bag? >> I don't have an ID, but please, the top button on my nose is scratching so bad. >> You guys scratch your own nose. >> Please. >> Bend down. Here you go. >> All right, yeah, I'm going to go and check it out now. >> No. >> All right, just watch your knees. Watch your knees. >> You got to go to jail. >> Hey, please just talk to her. Can I talk to her? >> Nope. What's up? What's up? >> Can I talk to you? >> What do you want to talk about? >> Listen, come here. >> I'm as close as I can get. >> No. >> I know you're sitting here just like another stupid face that I have to you know talk to you like talk to the officer. I'm sorry. >> You're fine. >> I'm curious. >> You're fine. >> I know you're just sitting thinking like another stupid face that I And I'm thinking like I know. I did I don't know what got me here to be in in cuffs. I'm just saying I'm just saying like Um and please please don't laugh. >> I'm not laughing. >> I know I know. >> I'm not laughing at all. I'm not the one that's doing the investigation so I can't I don't know the details of it. >> Can you get me the officer over here that is >> You you just talked to him. The one that read you your Miranda. >> Can you call him over here again? >> I'm sure he'll come back over before you guys leave. What do you have questions about? >> Just I haven't done anything to make him put me in in cuffs and on the ground. >> He explained to you that you battered a security officer. >> I what? >> Battered a security officer. >> What does that even mean? >> You You hit a security officer. >> Yeah, cuz they were grabbing my hands and pushing me on the floor. When they pushed me on the floor When they pushed me on the floor and >> Listen, listening, but it's also my job to be observant, so I'm going to look around, okay? That's my job. I'm listening to you. >> But like >> You did hit them. You did hit them. >> No, but they push me to the floor and say this and that, obviously I'm really going to get upset when Please Please when I come over here, I will stay all night, all morning, however long it takes. Please ask them why they put me on the floor and said this. >> You did hit them. >> That was after they did that. >> So, you hit them after they put you on the floor? >> Probably when they were being removed, yes. >> That doesn't make much sense. >> It makes very good sense. >> What? So, they put you on the floor and you got back up and you hit them? >> Listen. I have come here for the past however long they've been open. 2 months. I can't believe they would do that. >> What it sounds like is that you snuck in maybe to the bar, they were trying to remove you and you hit them and then you ended up on the ground. >> No, I swear to god. >> You already told me that you didn't hit them. >> I'm sorry. >> Hey. Who's uh Who's paying? >> I know I love you. Um my my friend's sister. >> So, you used this to get into the bar cuz you're 19 years old. Is that correct? So, now you're being charged with using an ID that's not even yours. >> She is saying now that she didn't hit them. >> Yeah, I know. I saw the video. I saw the video, so you did hit them. All right. Put your knees in. All right? We're done talking. All right? Put your knees in. >> This is >> Put your knees in. We're done talking We're done talking. >> Please sir. >> You're underage, you're going into a bar with a on ID that's not even yours, and then you're hitting a bouncer. Do you think that's acceptable? >> No, I don't. >> Okay, so now we're done talking. Put your knees in. >> but can I please >> Put your knees in. Put your knees in. I'm asking you nicely, ma'am. Put your Put your knees in. >> I'm asking you nicely. Can you please talk to me? >> Huh? >> I'm asking you nicely. Can you please talk to me? >> No, I'm not talking. I explained the reason.

Especially security or police. No matter how drunk or emotional you are. One bad decision in public can give you a felony record that follows you for years. What do you guys think?
