help me clean our house MH and he has
refused refused refused refused I was
hit over and over and over again and I'm
not doing it again and he just gets
drunk and dances around the property
what man I asked you for help and you
put me in jail this is what happens this
is my blood everywhere police are called
to the scene of a camper in Florida
where a squabble over domestic chores
has turned into a domestic altercation
but this isn't the first time law
enforcement has gotten involved with
this couple's volatile relationship and
his resentments from the last visit
spill over into the investigation the
question is whether the deputies can
find the truth about the blood
splattered altercation before this toxic
love affair gets any worse all I have to
say officer is love can make you do some
crazy things the following report is
based on official police records and
most of the footage has never been seen
before until now please note that all
persons charged with a crime are
Presumed Innocent unless and until
proven guilty in a court of law on the
evening of December 8th 2024 a
disturbing call comes into 911 in Marian
County Florida 911 what's the address of
your
emergency you have a second to to say
that it's okay is it okay is it okay all

once more the call ends on an
inconclusive note but it's not long
before the 911 lines are ringing again
and this time the caller is ready to
talk please send the police okay tell me
exactly what's happened thank you so

dog I'm covered in my own blood and um
and please please come the caller is
53-year-old Carrie Jenkins and he's
calling about his partner 46-year-old
Andrew Baldwin who makes a 911 call of
his own that night I my partner who is
previously arrested for aggravated
assault and battery has attacked me
again and covered myself and the entire
RV in blood deputies with the Maran
County Sheriff's Office respond to the
scene where Carrie has locked himself in
the camper and is refusing to come out
and I'm telling you that as much as I
would love to get you medical attention
all right then bring them I cannot do
that until you open the door Camp I'm
not safe it this the scene is not secure
I don't know if you have firearms in
there huh I'm not safe and I'm going to
call the police again if you if you call
them you're going to go go to jail I
guarantee excuse me if I call 911 I'm
going to jail I guarantee you're going
to jail if you call 911 you're talking
to law enfor
there's no need for you to call Water
Carrie remains reluctant to cooperate
with the police he called and what he
says next explains why the tension
between he and the deputies will reach a
crescendo before the night is through
will you please step outside no do you
understand that if you don't step
outside I cannot get you an ambulance
sorry I'm not safe why are you not safe
because the last time you guys came and
I've asked for help for four other
visits I went to jail all four times no
I went to Jail the last time that was
enough okay so so I'm not going to jail

completely unprovoked I was attacked for
not
vacuuming I am bleeding I was attacked
with a pipe I was attacked with a with
with with I was hit I was hit in the
face I was hit over and over and over
again and I'm not doing it again okay
from what it looks like to me violently
attack it looks like to me is you are
the victim so I have no intentions of
taking you to thank you though the
deputy assures Carrie that he's safe to
come out of the RV he's not the only one
claiming to be the victim in tonight's
altercation what's going
on he did what again tried to beat me up
tried to beat you up how
so physically and there's a battery
power pack he tried throwing it at me

Sor
just only 18 days earlier Maran County
Sheriff's de deputies responded to a
similar call at this property which
ended with Carrie being arrested and
charged with aggravated battery and
while those charges may have been
dropped Carrie is still suspicious of
the responding cops please help me
please help me please please help me
okay come outside walk out to the
roadway to the med to see you no I don't
want to go in the road please help me I
don't want to that's fine you you can
stay here no the last time I you guys
news please just come to my home and
help me sit thank you so much I don't
want to I mean come on man with a little
persistence the deputies get versions of
what happened from both men walk me
through from the beginning what happened
to me okay we went swimming he was fine
we came back all I have been asking him
to do is to help me clean our house and
he has refused refused refuse refuse and
he just gets drunk and dances around the
property I vacuumed the floor I wiped
the floor I spped the floor he didn't
like it I said I wouldn't do it a second
time okay he me like I already did it
today mhm and so I just started sweeping
again and I was like really do you mind
just sweeping like no no no no and then
he just started getting violent he at me
faced with conflicting accounts the
deputies try to piece together what
they've heard and make some sense of
what happened here tonight
so let me talk to you real quick okay
hang because meds are going to come yeah
is it bad yeah he's going to
be he's got marks on his face like he
was hit with a pipe in there he's got
marks he's got cuts and he's definitely
got like he's definitely been hit in the
eye it's clear last time it looked that
way as well and it wasn't the case he
wound up hitting the dude of the pipe
and he hit him so much that the pipe W
up cutting his hand so like he said the
same exact thing last time I'm not I
don't know yet so gotta complic matters
is the fact that one of these cops
Deputy Bates was the very one who
arrested Carrie the last time and it
seems he's not the only one who
remembers that fact what the man I asked
help and you put me in jail this is what
happens this is my blood everywhere
focus on tonight what happened tonight
tell him what Happ attacked me because I
wouldn't sweep the floor the right way
okay how did he attack you he attacked
me with this with this okay I'm bleeding
my blood is everywhere he beat me he
said he was going to kill me it was
exactly like the last time and I didn't
press charges last time and I don't want
to press charges he's not okay he was
Baker acted 3 weeks ago and you wanted
to put me in jail he is not okay it's
not me okay Florida's Baker Act allows
for individuals to be involuntarily
placed in a local hospital or crisis
unit in some circumstances if they're
determined to be a danger to themselves
or others but for now the deputies are
still trying to figure out the truth
okay what happened to your eye he hit me
face why are you screaming Ross because
I'm pissed at you guys because I went to
jail last time because you said I beat
him up I had to I had to defend myself
this time I did nothing I did nothing I
didn't even defend myself I let him hit
me so I wouldn't go to jail can we can
we see your hands hey yes you come in
come in we're not coming in hey come out
here come in no I'm not coming out I'm
you said you you said you I'm not coming
out I don't you I don't trust you I
don't trust you I don't trust you you
come in take the pipe I'm not I'm not
I'm not I don't TR trust you I don't
trust don't TR any of you I think you're
gay bashing and I don't I'm not coming
out okay so come sit right here so treat
you I'm not scar I'm not going to touch
you boss man come sit right here so
medic I'm scared of you come sit right
here please I'm not going to touch you
but just as Carrie begins to calm down
he catches sight of Deputy Bates again
and his Fury returns you guys put on the
goddamn news you ruined my you your
police report is and it's lious
and you ruined two jobs I had bait so
get away from me sounds
good despite these resentments hanging
in the air Carrie and Andrew seemed to
want the same thing though in completely
opposite ways he had his back turned to
me and then he turned around and it was
just
like
okay and covered me with but sprayed it
all over
himself he really needs help I'm sorry
like like you guys need to get it
together like he needs help help of A
Sort does arrive but when Medics try to
examine car's injuries it becomes clear
that his mistrust of the situation
extends to them as well how you doing
sir I'm not okay okay I was attacked I
see that okay I'm not okay and I'm not
okay and I'm not
okay we got lights and stuff in the
truck to bandage that up at least don't
take me away from here okay they
kidnapped me they took me away the last
time and I was attacked but it seems
that tonight at least Andrew is the one
in danger of being taken away by police
all right place your hands behind your
back again right now you're not under
arrest uh you're only being detained all
right well we kind of figure out what's
going on okay um the EMTs who have
finished tending to the cut on car's
hand asked the deputies to clarify some
of the bizarre things they've heard at
the scene he you got put him on the news
what the heck I didn't put him on the
news what what's public information is
not up to me you know what I mean like
what do you do to put on hit him with a
with a um
pipe himself on the finger last time too
so it was on the thumb and he he did it
as he was trying to attack him guess he
doesn't handle pipe very well okay well
I'm on all
right appreciate that but
yeah I'll talk to you later dog god man
meanwhile after the deputy notes his
lack of visible injuries Andrew grabs
his attention there there is one I just
one what on my shoulder on your shoulder
which shoulder my right shoulder
okay if you pull it
down oh yeah yeah you got something
there yeah what is that um he's struck
me with a branch with a branch all right
yeah sounds
good back with Carri the deputies
perform the same examination but this
one turns up a much different result can
you take your shirt also of course yeah
and this time because of what happened
last time when I defended myself um I
didn't do anything back so um but just
so you know this is what this looks like
the last time he hit me and I did
nothing that's from the last time my
friend what happened to your back so he
hit me he hit you yes okay all right and
so this is when knocked me out the last
time Bates when you took me to jail he
did that to my head knocked me out
so that's what they wouldn't treat me
for and then this thing which is
probably gone now these are from today
yes yeah they look fresh okay y the
welts would seem to clarify the
situation but the police believe that
the issues between these two men run
deeper than either of them recognize
quite frankly this is okay the the back
and forth between you guys okay than
comment but I'm not going to talk to you
if you're going to be disrespectful to
me you don't get dis back and forth
between you here's the thing
I understand the situation I'm in a bad
situation like you're not in a bad
situation I'm in a bad situation I've
asked for help from you guys and you
bait were an toally he's getting
arrested he's going to jail he shouldn't
go to jail he's he's going to jail and
I'm going to contact the State
Attorney's office until not to drop the
charges after because five days later
after the charges are dropped you're
back here do you guys are back here
doing this so you're going to charge
both of us so no he's going to be
arrested he needs to go to Minal he's
going to be arrested he needs to go to
mental institution and if it seems for a
moment that there may be a chance to end
this visit on a cordial note those hopes
are quickly dashed you are a victim
today and for for the fact that you were
a victim I'm sorry for what you went
through and I I don't want to be
unsympathetic to that I understand that
but also I'm also not going to be
ignorant to the fact of how often we do
this and how often we are here dealing
with the same exact and I'm not going to
deal with your so we're we're going to
deal with that in a civil way so you
guys can leave my property thank you so
much and as far as this RV goes I will
be contacting code tomorrow morning to
have it removed thank you so much you're
you're you're excused thank you so much
and you were absolutely not helpful
again thank you so much so you're not
here to excuse me you don't excuse me no
I'm excusing you well you can excuse me
if you want call the hospital and I will
call and I will call for an attorney you
guys you guys need to be more
sympathetic this guy doesn't need to go
to jail he is not well he will not do
well in jail he will not Thrive he could
be killed he's going to jail that's not
an option you're making a bad
okay as they walk back to the street
Deputy Bates voices
concerns I don't feel good about this
just so you know all right so this is
what's going to happen all right so uh
you're going to go with me today all
right you're going to go to the jail um
right now you're detained all right or
you're you're arrested So based off the
injuries that he has okay Officer they
were literally all
self-inflicted I just stood back and he
was thrashing himself everywhere
saying either I'm dying or you're going
to jail all evening I understand what
you're saying but if the deputy has any
doubts about tonight's resolution it
doesn't translate into sympathy for
Andrew and he's doing it deliberately
now here in Florida
knowing I don't have any family or
friends here or knowwhere to turn except
to rely on on him and I don't know why
the courts aren't understanding that go
what man I don't understand like you
don't
understand I told you last time St away
you didn't listen to me yes you did and
that's why I said yes you were right but
I let I let my heart get in the way of
reason this is this is oh Jesus Christ
this is so
far yall are extremely toxic together
that last time and now here we are like
it last time it was him saying the same
exact thing the same exact thing before
long the deputy asks Andrew about
something interesting Carrie mentioned
earlier what did he mean whenever he
said arrest me his what his arrest made
the
news it was posted in um the village
news The Villages
news show his mug shot
and the description of the rest was
posted there online oh so I guess Maran
County makes all mug shots public
record so now mine is going to be on
that same website now Andrew soon makes
a shocking but unsubstantiated Claim
about his partner but it only inspires
the deputy to ask a rather
straightforward
question I guess never told you about
the time he killed an adversary's
dogs he said I'll take care of your
dogs it left them in a hot car and the
dogs
died
crazy it
is part with somebody who's like all I
have to say officer is love can make you
do some crazy things Andrew Baldwin was
charged with aggravated battery but
Maran County Prosecutors Al Ely decided
not to pursue the case and the charge
was dropped
