Oh my god. Oh, you're saying I go I
don't know. Go. Is he wearing blue
stripe pajamas? Seemingly harmless act,
but just minutes later, the police
knocked on the door. I'm sorry. I fell
back asleep. I've been up since 5 in the
morning.
Put your hand behind your back. I put my
hand.
Just a normal evening until the law
intervenes and changes everything. And a
fancy night at a restaurant turns into a
legal nightmare.
Oh my god. Put your hand behind your
back. I put my hand.
January 21, 2025. A fancy dinner with a
$500 cent bill, but no one has a wallet.
What happens when the police walk in?
Well, both of you are going to hang out
until the mistake. Both of you are okay.
It's a $500 bill. You walk out on that.
You don't want to get arrested over not
paying a tab. Okay. I try to help you.
Do you know how far away they are? You
said someone's coming to pay for
me. What do you mean for you? I mean,
for the whole thing for me. Yes. I
Is this like a first date? You guys been
together for a while? I don't Why are
you looking at me like I'm crazy? I'm
just asking you a question. Yeah. Never.
So, how long until it somebody gets
here? For me? To pay the bill. Pay the
bill. Okay. Instead of settling things
peacefully, she challenged both the
staff and the police. And that was just
the beginning. It's you, too. It's not
just him. Whose car is this? Whose car
is in the valet? My car is like not in
ballet. Your car is in valet.
Okay. It's $20. The tap's already paid.
I paid the tap. Listen, they are
closing. They are closing.
I'm going to tell you to hang up the
phone. Listen to me. You pay the tab.
Leave. You pay too. It does not matter.
You don't want to listen.
Get out. Sir, leave. Can you tell? You
have to press charges. Just leave. What
did she have
to go buy a vape at the dollar store?

You have to pay the value on your phone.
I don't like now. Oh, no. I can't. I

wait? Why do you need to be on the phone
with her? All my cards are blonde. How?
How? How does that happen? She's coming
here to pay this. So, I can wait here. I
can wait outside. Girl, go home. Her?
Yes. Go home. What are you doing? Go
home. I just don't want her. She doesn't
want to be around you. Get in a problem
with you guys. No, you are getting in a
problem with us. Leave. Get off the
property. You were told once, twice. He
told you get off the property. It was
only $20 zero cents for parking, but it
led to a tense confrontation that sent
the entire restaurant into chaos. I
didn't bring my wallet. I didn't bring
anything. You have Apple P?
She's coming to pay. You're about to
pull the fire alarm, too. Be careful.
She's coming to pay everything. And it's
okay. The tab is paid. What? He sat
right next to you and paid it. I don't
care. telling me that you need to pay.
Okay, so this is ridiculous. I am I'm
sitting here. It's okay. We're waiting
for you to pay the valet tax. Okay,
good. Great. I want to go home. It's
amazing. Me, too. Yeah. So, why we keep
calling this lady? The lady? Yeah. Who
are we?
Just have her sell you the money. If you
don't have money, I just have to pay
that lady. Okay. $20. Have her sell you
$2. 20.
Okay. Stay on the phone until you get
here.
We paid everything and they're like,
"Oh, you should have the money to pay
for the valet cuz you're so like this is
a high-end restaurant." Yeah. You guys
had a $500 tab and you came with no
wallet. You can have somebody or No, it
sounds like you're alone.
20 and that's amazing. So, don't be such
a [ __ ] [ __ ] because I'm trying to
get here and pay everything and you have
no idea what the [ __ ] I am. Shut the
[ __ ] up. Just shut up. Just shut the
[ __ ] up.
So, you're home girl that she's a
[ __ ] [ __ ] You can tell.
I've been here trying to pay my tab and
I didn't even know my tab was paid and I
want to pay it. So, who the [ __ ] is a
[ __ ] Who's the [ __ ] I had no idea my
cop was paying and I'm still trying to
pay it. The police told her not to drive
drunk, but she chose to do the opposite
and things quickly spiraled out of
control.
What the [ __ ]
I'm working out of the car at this
point. I go
wrong. Wait.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I gave
it. She just drove away with my hand in
the door. I gave it to you. I put your
hands behind your back. I put my hand.
Ariana, call the cops. The cops. You

home. I didn't know I was with my car.
We told you that. I had You dropped
their keys. You dropped their I had my
keys.
Ariana, please take a video.
My keys. You want to get up? Can I roll
your pants down? I don't know. I'm going

legs in.

right. So we can get you up. There you
go. There you go. You guys know this is
wrong. But that's okay. I forgive you
and I pray God for the both of them. Why
would you try? I didn't know. We told
you not to drive and I didn't even asked
about leaving. I didn't hear you. She
grabbed the door and you ran and you
just kept driving. I didn't. I
Throughout her arrest and return to
prison, she shouted the name of a
powerful man. Commissioner Homestead is
my uncle. But would that save her? Hey,
go. Go. Please take care of Rain. It's
okay. Don't let him see any of this.
Just go.
You don't give a [ __ ] about me. That's

right now, but but it's recording. Play.
Play it. Because I would have never
gotten in the car and sped off unless I
[ __ ] felt like it was okay. So, do
whatever you feel like you need to do.
And my lawyer will also do what he feels
like he needs to do. And I will also
make sure that all of I was arrested
illegally. How many times did she say
that? And what was the truth behind her
constant demands to be read? Miranda
writes nothing to you and you know that
he left me there and I still tried to
pay my tab and you still arrested me for
no reason. I still tried to pay the
valet tab and you still arrested me for
no reason and that was what you wanted
and I just want you to know that God
sees everything. Absolutely. I believe
you on that one. God sees everything and
I I really pray for forgiveness for you.
Oh, thank you.
I hope the best for you. Thank you. I
just want you guys to know that it is a
lie and she is lying. I use no force. I
am back here. I will have a
lawyer and I wish her the best. I have
no idea why she is doing this to me. But
you
know the force will be given back. I
pray for all of you. All of you. The
woman was charged with three counts.
Resisting a law enforcement officer with
violence, resisting a law enforcement
officer without violence, and assaulting
a police officer. The two most serious
charges were dismissed, and she is in a
criminal diversion program for the
remaining charge. Next, a child wanders
barefoot, lost in the middle of a
highway, but the story behind it shocked
the police even more.
Oh, you're saying I go I don't know. Go.
Is he wearing blue stripe pajamas? I'm
sorry. I fell back asleep. I've been up
since 5:00 in the morning. When the
police picked up the child, he could
only cry and point to a nearby
residential area. But strangely enough,
the police had been there before for
another incident.
What's your name? Oh, buddy.
Buddy, what's your mommy's name? Do you
live over here?
Oh, I know, buddy. I know. So, we caught
him. Yeah. Wondering. I'm dropped over
this water. Uh almost blind this.
You got your driver's license on you,
sir? Yes. What is this guy? I don't know
yet. We'll figure it out.
Yeah, I'll find. I got a couple more
officers coming on their way to help me.
Okay, good. Where where' you see him
exactly? Well, right here. Right here.
Right here. Right here. We were coming.
We were headed down to the airport. Oh,
I appreciate you guys stopping. He was
all wet, too.
Yeah. Yeah. He's lying. He's walking
barefoot, I believe. So, I have a
feeling maybe he walked out from his
apartment. Yeah, I know. And I think I
have a feeling where it's going to be.
And I think the parents are under No,
unfortunately, mom's I have a sick
feeling. I know where this belongs. Can
you write this down for me?
He jumped right in my arms when I got
here. What? Write that down for me.
That's just a complaining. I can't do
both. Did you get a phone number from I
got nothing yet. When I walked through
the window, he jumped in my arms. Okay,
I'm going to see if I have a um
Coincidence or fate. A mother called the
police in the early morning and just a
few hours later, her own child was found
alone on the street. Fully, I just have
a gut feeling. Is your mom's name
Brooke?
Yeah. I hope your mom's not I hope I'm
wrong.
It's just so ironic that she told me
when with that guy that she was that
that she woke her son that she woke his
son up.
But like did she know him? Yeah, they
reconnected after they went to high
school together. She just realized he
was a
drunk. Oh, Foley. Like he he needs a new
diaper, too. Okay, I can't get that
right this second. I know you need to
calm down. I can run to Walgreens. I
didn't say that. I was just making a
statement. I absolutely guarantee you he
does. I can smell the pee on them. I'm
going to go knock on that woman's door.
Not yet. You're not, but yes. Why not?
If she's right here, you don't like you
take him. I can't go knock to confirm if
that's the mom or not. Well, if you do
though, I mean, you'd be ready. You're
going to have arrest her. Yeah, we have
to. It' be so nice to have another hand
like this.
If you want to go to the That's fine.
We'll go to the PD.
Well, it' be nice. I think it'd be nice
to see how long it takes her to,
you know what I mean? You know what I
mean? Come here and just hold. I know
you're holding him. You got to hold it.
I just don't want it to go back inside.
We'll take a ride in the police
car. We're going to sit down. Okay,
little guy. What do you think? How's
that? I know, buddy. I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
When the police knocked on her door, she
was terrified and shaking at the news
about her son. But was her explanation
credible? Brooke, there's no knock on
you. How old is your kid? He's He just
turned three. What's he wearing? Is she
not here? I'm going to be I have a
feeling he's not. Oh, you're saying he's
nice. Go. I don't know. Go. Is he
wearing blue stripe pajamas? Yes. I'm
sorry. I fell back asleep. I've been up
since 5:00 in the morning. How much you
have to drink last night? Can we come
in? Yeah, you can come in. Bruce, come
on. Oh my god. Stop. Don't tell me this
is true. Where is he? I have him.
I'm having a panic attack right now. How
much did you have to drink last night,
Brooke? I
had You need to be honest with me now. I
I don't think I don't think he only had
one beer. He He was walking around with
a bottle of tequila. This is 1850. Yeah.
1850 20 or 208. I probably had a shot
and a beer. I can do a breast of life.
Your kid was walking down 31. No. With
no shoes on.
Can I call my mom? Not right now.
Tests showed she was completely sober.
But her sobriety did not save her from
being charged with child endangerment.
Take a breath, Liz. I want to see where
you're at alcohol-wise. Yes.
21 from 31. Can you grab me a PBT and
meet me up here, please? cuz I I don't
know what to do at this point. Like, I'm
going to be honest. Like, it's this is
it's I cannot believe this. I was up all
night over a cold. I know. You were up
all night with a guy you had over. Yes.
And I don't ever want to see that guy
again. And I So, here's here's how
outside perception looks.
You had to call 911 this morning. What
time was that? About 5? Yeah. 5:00 in
the morning. because a drunk guy that
you were partying with you hooked back
up from high school was over and you no
longer wanted to party with him. When
you were in your ear when I was here
earlier, your mascara was all running.
You looked clearly disheveled. You look
clearly you look clearly intoxicated.
Okay. And now 2 hours later after you
told me your child was awake instead of
going to take care of him, it appears to
me he went and passed out. So I'm saying
the breathalyzer is going to help you a
lot cuz if you're going to come back
low, that's going to help your case.
Okay, that's fine. I'll do. She was
charged with child endangerment. DCFS
was notified. Possible penalties include
probation, parenting classes
supervision, or removal of custody if
the violation is serious or repeated.
And do they take him? I don't know. I
don't know what they're going to do. I
have to let I'll fill them in with what
we have.
Well, I mean, whenever DCFS is involved
in something, they take the people's
kid. Not always. Not always.
I mean, you think that they'll get me my
son back today? I don't know. Look, I
don't want his answer. It's going to be
something else.
You called DCFS. You said I do get to
see my son. Yeah, I'd imagine. Well,
what I'm going to hope to do is then I'm
going to after I call DCFS, I'm going to
come back. I'll take you out of the
cell. I'll book you and then I'll give
you all your paperwork to release you.
Then I'll take you up to the lobby and
I'll let you sit with your lunch again.
Okay. Until we figure out what's going
on. All right. Okay. Until like DCFS
decides what they want to do. They're
going to want some kind of safety plan.
Okay. Um I mean what do they think that
like I'm a bad mom or something?
You're not a bad mom. He's bad. Made bad
decisions. The mother was not detained
for long and was allowed to leave the
station with her son after establishing
a safety plan with DCFS. She expressed
remorse saying she was a good mother who
had only made one mistake. One wrong
decision can ruin her whole life as a
mother. Can she fix it or will this be
the end of her custody rights? Do you
think this situation is worth pondering
and condemning? Please comment and let
