Hey, get over here right now. >> [music] >> After receiving a domestic disturbance call, officers arrived at a home where they found a man standing over a woman during a heated argument. Although the woman would later insist he never hit her, what officers witnessed inside the house led them to believe the situation was far more serious than it first appeared. >> What is this crazy right now whatever? This is nothing >> Where's he at? >> He's over there, but it's nothing to do with my mom. >> Come on, hey. ARTESIA POLICE DEPARTMENT. GET OVER HERE. Get over here right now. COME ON. GET OVER HERE.

She was on on my couch. And I was yelling I was yelling over her. >> Was she on her stomach on the couch? >> No, she was just like like sitting down. She was sitting down and we were arguing. >> Okay, what if She'll be real. Did you put hands on her? Did you touch her or anything? >> No, I'm going to tell you, but I didn't. >> Okay.

We were arguing. I was yelling at my kicking my lungs. >> So she just accused you of cheating? >> Yes. >> Okay. And that's none of my business or anything, all right? I'm not going to ask >> No, it's cool, man. Just You guys did your job like I told him. I'm coming out. Can I just get you get my son out of here? He said yes. This is our home. >> Together? >> Yes. >> Okay.

I was at the block over on uh Monterey. >> Oh, down there by uh the school? >> Yeah, past the school. Like two minutes walk over. >> Okay. Yeah, if we can if we figure out that nothing happened then we'll probably just ask one of y'all to leave for the night or something. Um so hang back tight. We'll finish this up and square it away, okay? >> Once the scene was secure, officers began separating everyone involved to understand what had actually happened. The man admitted the argument started after he was accused of cheating, but denied ever putting his hands on her. >> Now, were you guys when you were arguing Hey. When you were arguing, were you guys arguing out here or in the >> Um well, we talked in there and that's where he he wanted to start the argument. >> Okay, but did it start out here? That's what I'm saying. >> Oh, I have to pick it up. >> Where did all this start at? >> Well, in the house. >> In the house? >> Yeah. >> Just like what, like 10-15 minutes ago? >> Um when did it start going? 15 minutes ago. No, more than 20. >> But you're saying everything was still in the house and stuff like in inside the wall. >> Well, there's a one in the beginning she start walking that way then I was I got in my right and I went up to her. And then she I convinced her just to walk back over here and I reversed and then we were in there. >> Oh, so you were in the car and she was walking away and you drove up to her and told her to come back? Okay. She came back? Was she by herself or did she have kids? >> No, she had kids. She was walking with the kids. >> Officers then focused on what happened when they first arrived. According to the responding officer, the suspect ignored repeated commands to come outside while the suspect insisted he simply hadn't heard those instructions during the chaos. >> Sir, let me ask you something. How many times does he need to tell you to come on out when there's an incident going on? >> Well, at first he caught me as caught me by surprise. >> Well, but it's >> I mean but still like I was >> He was in his journal for a moment getting stuff. >> I refuse to talk anymore. >> Okay, good. >> no resistance. There was no resistance. There's no resistance, man. >> Okay, when I told you to come outside you did not >> you I said >> You kept on telling me no. >> I was quiet. >> You kept you kept on telling me no and then you told me that to get out of to get out of your property. Now, me getting out whenever obviously something's going on >> You didn't let me get my sandal. You told me about it. >> I did. I did. Once you I told you I told you >> I told you to get my sandal. >> Yes, I did tell you you could get it real quick. >> Yeah and I did. >> Yes, but you weren't listening to me at first when I first told you to come outside. You were refusing to come out and you're telling me to get out. >> the only thing you guys got on me? Cuz I mean like I honestly >> You didn't hear him. You want to play games? >> I honestly >> I'll take the resisting and I'll get you for a battery. You heard you heard him in that where you told him to get out. >> I turned around I turned around and was like >> So, it's up to you if you want to do that or not. >> He says he says that she he was on top of her inside of the parking lot. >> Uh-huh. >> Like Or he's over he's over here. So, I can't tell. >> Oh, yeah I did. Like He was walking over here. She was going to talk to him and then that happened. >> But did you see him? >> Yeah, well like my video cuz my video camera she's like punched over on the couch and he's a total and then when we called in I mean I can get him for assault but I don't know where he went okay like your dog Hey hey can you just come here real quick I just need to ask you one question. Here's here's the only thing I want to ask okay so he says he was over you >> Yeah. >> The investigation took another turn when the woman acknowledged she had kicked him away because she was scared but also repeatedly told officers he never struck her. That left officers weighing her statements against what they personally observed when they entered the home. >> And I did kick him off. >> Okay. >> I did. And I thought well I mean it was a reaction. >> And you're afraid? >> I mean >> Because He was over yelling >> Yeah I mean that's why I like freaking kicked him off I mean I've been in situations before. I mean I've been in not with him >> Have you been in relationships? >> Before. >> Okay. So you were afraid >> So I have like PTSD but like I I did it he didn't hit me. >> Okay. >> He was over me yelling at me he thinks that I took his money I did not. But I he didn't hit me he didn't put his hands on me I just kicked at him I did kick him. >> But you were afraid. >> Yeah but I didn't but he never hit me though. >> Okay. >> He never put his hands on me. >> Uh do you own anything in this part of the house? Is any of this in here yours? Do you own any items >> I mean I don't know why. Did he break No I mean he hasn't broken anything. No there's nothing broken on my side baby. >> Okay. Sorry to ask you. >> Okay. Yeah he said >> to go to jail for resisting right now cuz >> But he didn't resist. >> He was given a lawful order. >> Yeah, but he but but he he put his hands up and he and he freaking didn't >> he was told to get up and get out >> you got to >> he didn't do it. No, that's a lawful order. And when someone looks like they're in fear and they're getting hurt, it's a lawful order. >> I understand, but but he was he did He did a favor. He did go. He was just it it was just heat of the moment. He was shaking. He didn't he was he was fine. >> He was fine? He's he's I don't >> Okay, but we we were arguing we were arguing and you know like arguing >> What did you tell What did you tell the video? You were like crouched, you know, where at the uh the couch, okay? Like you were about to get struck. Ma'am, he assaulted Okay, so you can play all these games and stuff, okay? Been around a long time. I know physical domestic when I see one. Okay? And then when he told him to come on out, he pretty much told him to get out. He argued now. >> I Okay, but >> Okay, okay, then. All right, we're done. Get Get him arrested for that. >> Despite the woman asking officers not to take him to jail, the responding officer concluded there was enough evidence to move forward. Based on his observations inside the home and the suspect's failure to immediately comply with lawful commands, the man was arrested as the domestic disturbance investigation came to an end.
