expressway and my daughter was like where BBY what why you it's not don't don't yell at him he's know you want you want to pick him up he's scared and his hand hurts okay let me just uh officers spoke with the kid's mother and then ordered the driver out of the car to uncover more about the unfolding incident where's everybody's car seats they could wear a seat Bel right um well you have be four kids and that's only three seats so how get four kids for three seats with three seat belts they all fit there it doesn't matter if they all fit there how many seat belts are there there's three seat belts juvenile needs to be in a seat belt so obviously someone's not in a seat belt if there's four kids I mean I just got this car I used to have a big van but so you're saying if I if I just get this car I'm going to sit four kids back seat I'm going to make sure there's four seat belts so did you check sem seat Bel in the car I have six kids what do you I I know viors I understand I didn't think that my son would ever do something like that do you have your your ID you don't have anything can I get your name he just got my name he got your name all right have you'all been smoking yeah I been smoking one joint when like like cou like 20 minutes ago 20 minutes ago and you're driving four kids in the back seat I I had a window down you had your windows down were you smoking in the car yeah like one time you were smoking in the car with them in the back I had a window down do you have any more in the car can you step out for me so we can talk over here you know but under state law every child needs to be in a seat Bel at least I know that certain ages so how are they all bu them in a SE is the child lock right I I can't tell which way it's got to got to go I have take a key in there I don't know which way it goes two if you advised we're going 10 first Cas generator for there give me a favor sweee can try to open this door I close it go ahead and try to open it they're on now they're on now they weren't on before where are you guys coming from I'm coming from Florida well we in Florida where you I where are you coming from in Florida trying get to South Carolina okay what part of Florida you guys coming from very far we're Far Far Away trying to get name for7 okay can you sit back in the car he can sit back in the car so you said you were smoking in the car with them in there yeah is there any in the car at all like prob where that like in a car was it is it in the switch wrapper in the no car the p in the P all right do you have medic card oh no you don't have medic C so my question is is how do you not realize that the door opens and one of the kids fly out and then we get on 95 cuz I I a hear you didn't hear the door open and shut I kind of did hear something that was like and see a kid fall out of the car so you know as the driver you're respons make sure that everyone has a seat belt on right so if there's four kids in the back of that car and three seat belts how does everyone have a seat belt on they didn't have seat bels on did they none of them had seat belts on I think they they did so my question is is if there's three seat belts and there's four kids how do you get three seat belts on four kids it it's impossible there's there's no way to put three seat belts on four kids that means one kid didn't have a seat belt on and obviously the kid that didn't have a seat belt on is the one that flew out the car and hit the road right I was driving for my sister all right at this time you're detained all right we'll talk in a little bit okay as the investigation continued officers informed the suspect of a strong marijuana smell coming from the car escalating the tension coming out of this car yeah a strong coming out of this car so that's why he's attained go ahead and finish answering his questions and we'll uh tell you what's going on I mean finish answering his questions I get him out of here two things going on one how old are the kids in the back seat what age range are they from my daughter is N9 my other daughter is seven okay my son is and J's four all right so the four-year-old should be in car seat according to Florida law all children aged five and younger must be restrain ially approv crash St Tri restraint device this includes a booster seat car seat or any other manufactured integrated child seat so two of them are in car seats okay second thing four kids in the back seat only three seat belts available for them that's a problem and the third thing is we all can smell want to coming out of the car including fire so we're looking into those three things right now so hang tight while we finish doing doing is want to in this car do you know well even with or without your permission just the snow alone give us the right to check your car so that's what deput where where are we I don't even know you're in Palm Coast Florida probably about half hour north of Daytona all right ma'am I'm going have to talk to you for a little bit now okay you might come over here with me to the front of his car all right so I'm going to read you your rights first okay so either the right remains violent and anything you say maybe has evidence against you you have the right to talk to the attorney and have him or her with you now or anytime they questioning you can afford an attorney won't be appointed to represent you if anytime you wish to stop talking or have an attorney present all questioning will be we stopped at your request do you understand these rights with these rights in mind are you going to talk to me so can you start we're going to go back to the beginning of what happened so where were you guys coming from I'm coming from Miami Florida I was coming to South Carolina just for him to see his dad going where South Carolina South Carolina okay for him to see his dad and I was sleeping in the car passeng pass sorry and um all I heard what woke me up when my daughter said where is um Chris juie they thought that he got out of the gas station and went into the bathroom without us without my brother knowing him cuz my brother went into the to pump gas I guess and he went into the store okay but that's not what happened he didn't even notice that my son fell out the car right here like I didn't even know like until when we went to this gas station with so you were sleeping yeah I was sleeping okay and did you guys leave Miami today or how long have you we left today today okay and you go stopping here for gas stopping here for gas okay and so you say you were sleeping and then driving up there your uh daughter woke you up yes my daughter my daughter woke me up because all I heard heard her say that you know of course I'm going to get up from something like that and then that's when I went crazy and I and we was like right there on the eway so we had to hurry up and turn around to get off and come back to the same gas station that he said he my brother said he was at you guys already on 95 so you want to to the next exit or turn around and then turn around all right and the pills I found in the glove box the Xanax bars the Xanax yeah those are my anxiety pills okay are those you have a prescription I don't have it in my um bottle no I don't have my prescription you have a prescription for Xanax in particular um they give me um some type of pills like that's for like that has that doctor cribe xana far to you that's what we're asking um we we can check that we can go on the record we check to see so he hasn't prescribed you any Z but they they prescribe me with pills that are like in the Xanax family in the Xanax family but he hasn't prescribed you those those pills where you get those I have bad anxiety officers warned the suspect about child safety and the importance of seat belts for babies then they took action on charges of child neglect other two seat belts are fine so then that basically that means I can't drive my car at all because I have six kids yes this would not be a vehicle that would be suitable for you to drive I know that I just got this car for now to get around you would have to have a vehicle that would seat SE sto M yeah I know I always used to have Vans and stuff like big cars just this my I lost my car and this is the only option that I had is to have a car for now I understand so like I said there's other options that you as a mom have to take for the safety of your children because as a mom and those your kids you're saying hey you know what I know there's not car seats and I can't fit them I know only have three seat belts but hey I got to go up to South Carolina so he can see his dad a better option would be finding somebody to watch your juveniles so that you can fit up there or hey I'm going to stay here your brother do you mind running him up to South Carolina to go meet his dad or bringing his dad back so that he can see his kid all that that would be stuff that I would expect a parent to do um for their children to make sure that their children are safe okay uh do you have any family that's in the area here where is your family at far away we don't live here at all I understand you don't live here but where would your family be at where would the nearest relative be at very far Miami Florida and nobody have a car and nobody has a car down of Miami they don't know anybody that could no I just got my car and this car is not even under my name I I was going to do all the registration and everything um on the Y today the 15th yeah today whenever I get back to Miami with my brother my brother's the one with the license okay my older brother your older brother's the one with the license and but he had to go to work your older brother had to go work okay so your younger brother does he have a license he never had a license before so your younger brother never had a license before on anything like that okay so did you know he didn't have the license um I think yeah yeah he didn't I don't think yeah he didn't have a license okay so that that's other concern that I have is now you're asking your little brother to drive you knowing that knowing that he doesn't have a license and you're putting your children on the back of the car who don't have seat bels I'm a non-licensed driver listen I love all of my kids I understand what you're saying this isn't a question if you love your kids or not okay I know what happened was a mistake I understand I don't know what you want me to do there's there's a lot I want you to do as a mom to take for the I buy a car SE I can I can go buy a car SE that right now okay at this time we're going to detain you all right over here no do me a favor do this walk with us walk to the back just walk

multiple questions Jason's set a minute out so I'm assuming he's still coming she uh heading back to her car to get her daughter where from um another car which car um over there okay you realize it's 6:30 in the morning right I I do know and you realize that your daughter seven yes 7 years old has been by herself with us for four know for 4 hours I do know you you know you understand my frustration with this whole situation right what on God's green earth were you doing that your daughter is here by herself at 7 years old where she's terrified and goes into the bar and asks random bar people to help and call the police I have no idea I'm sorry sorry ain't going to cut it she said she was in a car somewhere over there you show us yes second one and go hang out you guys keep an eye unable to respond clearly the suspect was asked if she had been drinking raising further suspicion know was I I came here to meet friends um and then I I woke the car yeah ran I came here to meet my friend ran and then I woke up in that car that's all I know I I I really didn't mean to me leave my seven-year-old alone in in the car I would never never do such a thing I mean her her dad died last year he was murdered he was stabbed in in the in the heart um like I would never try to leave my seven-year-old alone so when you met your friends here ran yes when you met ran here did you go into the bar yes absolutely okay did you have a drink yes what was the last thing you remember the last thing I remember is me and my friend r on here and then having a drink and that's it but like I mean I'm not alcoholic you know what I mean like I I I can hold my drink like I'm I'm 35 years old I mean like that was probably like my third drink you know what I mean so um it shouldn't have knocked me out but I know why I was in that car now I'm not a woman and I don't know how things are understand do you feel like maybe you were violated in any way I don't know like I woke up in a car that wasn't mine I woke up in a situation where I I didn't know where I was at um were your clothes on my clothes were on yes um my clothes were buttoned yes um but um I don't know how I ended up like this you know what I mean like I shouldn't have ended up like this I've never been oh you're right you shouldn't have ended up like this right right also probably shouldn't have come up here with your seven-year-old right well I just came up here to to say hi to my friend have a drink and then leave but like obviously it didn't turn out that way you know what I mean so you said you had three drinks yes what is it that you drink um I drink beer yes so I had two beers um before I came here I had a beer when I got so yeah I I don't know how I got from two beers before here and then one beer here I had one beer here is what I'm getting at when's the last time you saw Ron um I mean obviously it's been several hours like were you sitting at the bar together and then the next thing you know you're waking up in the car or go to the bathroom like I don't I don't remember anything from tonight like this is what I'm getting on like um like tonight is very hazy but as far as being here I don't mind you remember getting here I mean yeah in a sense because I only had two be you know what I mean but other than that no well you stated that you came here to me friends and then you remembered going into the bar so you do remember coming here yes yes so let's be honest okay yeah I'm be the best way for this situation okay because you just left your seven-year-old daughter alone for 6 hours right you understand that right I understand that so let's be honest with us when we ask the questions you answer them completely and truthfully all right all right so after you left the bar what happened not after I left the bar after I left City Limits um after have City Limits yes tonight officers made it clear to the suspect how dangerous it was to leave kids alone in front of a bar from a severely traumatic experience yes sir okay understand so this is what we're trying to figure out right now is just what happened because like we've been telling you we've been searching for you for 6 hours right I mean cuz even before we got R we got brought into all this they've been trying to blow up your phone and get in contact with you at least an hour or so before they even called us right right so this is a very serious situation sir okay so obviously you know if something if you were the victim of something obviously we will address that and go forward from there right however right now your daughter and way is also victimized she absolutely because she was she was left here to her own devices in a car that had not clearly been running for a long time which luckily it's the middle of the night cuz it was the middle of the day she yes sir okay so you may may have been sober from those hard drugs 5 years ago or I guess January alcohol doesn't it's it's not that much different okay cuz I've I have my brother who attic for 20 years he would drink he would still smoke fall back right back into it every time now if you're one of the few that don't go back to it again alcohol is just another another Avenue right okay so this this is a very serious situation all right um not only could I mean like you said the people in there were nice right had they not been nice somebody could have been like you know what I'm going to help you find your mom come get in my car let's go you know what then you never see your daughter again yes sir probably sold on the black market to become a or you know slave of some sort you know or dead we could have just found her in that ditch down there but we were looking for you understand no honesty goes a long way L if you're 100% you know you're not I just hooked a guy up yesterday you know who was honest with me and said you know what I got some heroin here I got some boxing here I got some here right so I took care of him guess what he went to jail but he didn't get pounded like he could have got pounded because he was honest you're facing possible charges of child neglect child endangerment fin all I'm there's a lot of stuff that'll take her away from you yes sir so you won't see her anymore even when you get out of prison her her her dad was murdered last year you know and it's had a huge effect on me you know what I mean um and I wish tonight was different and I'm sorry hear that he was murdered but she's got to be your priority absolutely you're absolutely right open but you know it's not going to change the reason you're wearing long sleeves um that's cold drink when was the last time you used um the last time we used it January would you mind rolling up your sleeves no certainly sure there any particular reason why you left your daughter and did not bring your phone with you um I just wanted to go see a friend real quick honestly and then it it it turned into me being inated and not being a to function all right before we go any further yes sir I do this with everybody because we ask questions and stuff like that okay doesn't necessarily mean you're going to jail doesn't necessarily mean that but I just want to show you your rights okay so you have the right to remain silent and anything you say may be used as you as evidence against you yes sir you have the right to talk to an attorney and have him or her present with you now or at any time during questioning if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed to represent you if at any time you wish to stop talking or have an attorney president all questioning will be stopped at your request do you understand these rights yes sir all right with these rights um with these rights in mind you want to keep talking to us of course okay thank you I just I mean this is for your protection and our okay so it's just to you know just to protect you and in your rights because if we ask you questions and you lie well now you just committed purgery right okay we ask you questions and you tell us something that lead us to see that you're a victim of something which is what I was trying to allude to earlier when I was asking you those questions to see if maybe you are victim of something if somebody drugged you or something like that I've never been okay this for three drinks so have no idea trying to give you the benefit of the doubt yes sir all right because me as a parent I have a son and I would never in my right mind anything like that I mean I have a GCF case you know what I mean like I I would never you know what I mean but I I honestly the suspect was charged with child neglect now witness how this mother could leave her child alone in a car while shopping at a mall on February 24th 2024 delay Beach

my baby daddy or whatever and they picked he picked her up or whatever but right now the crash and I was like I can't right now like I'm going through so much like like as right now the suspect was charged with a crash and DWI sometimes the danger is right for us and it's our parents who protect us on September 12th 2024 in Palm Coast Florida a man and his wife were relaxing in their backyard when the woman spotted someone creeping through the nearby trees officers arrived and gathered details from the victim's father then quickly began searching for the suspect the urgency growing with each passing moment is maybe a senior and I mean so just we see this a lot yeah do you think don't think it's someone she knows I also advised that suspect that she suceeding with to get into the or what the issue was native I'm getting to the bottom of it now it was just uh seems more LMP than anything did you copy the address that I said right in front of it um I don't think it's a person I think it's someone in the neighborhood she doesn't she doesn't go to public school she goes to a private school she's got no friends around here she's an indoor kid so even if it is another kid that's watching her either way it's not someone that she knows or has any kind of person she doesn't know anyone in this neighborhood I mean she doesn't go out by herself she's got friends in Flagler Beach and we drive her there and pick her up whoever this kid is is not someone that she's associated with um and honestly that I've never seen before which is kind of concerning because he's too young to be from somewhere far away and to be traveling just to come to my house specific you saw a picture of him would you know him I would know him I I mean I've been chasing him for yeah I 15 minutes yeah I mean I I saw him enough to where if you got me in a lineup I I guarantee you I could I'm so pumped up right now I'm sorry let's um let's get you home y I'm right around the corner 25 a hop in the car and I'll take you home thank you I don't even think my wife knows what's going on cuz I turned my ringer off and just took off around and I never had time to tell her you want to take this protocol or something got room to the right we don't have any drywall up yet so yeah me push me push keep coming check up to clear yeah clear that for that space behind this here clear make sure you look up too okay okay [Music] huh where's the last uh probably over by Finn but this we're just checking this cuz I guess they ran through here date of birth today's date today's date is 91324 do you swear or affirm that it's your decision to press charges at this time yes sir sign here now I give me one second I got to fill out some stuff y y hey how's it going I've been better yeah yeah my name is Deputy Losi um I'm here to do a photo lineup with you okay um so I'm just going to go ahead and read you the directions all right um shine a light for him L and do not flip to the next page just leave the pages as they are so there's another page of pictures don't worry about that okay now if he was heavier set I'd say it was this guy but I I he looks almost skinnier in the face than him so I'm going to go with I don't think I see him in this line up here and he's he's close it was dark but I feel like he had a wider a a wider face so I I don't think I see him in that lineup unless he's gained significant weight since that picture was taken you able to see it rightly enough and everything I I think so and he even almost looks a little bit older uh the the one more looked like like a kid um he doesn't necessarily look old but he looks older than the kid that I saw he looked more like 17 18 cops he looks like mid mid 20 so I don't think that's him but if the suspect gained significant weight they turned to the neighbors hoping to uncover the suspect's identity as the tension continued to build um there's an incident that happened over there uh to your neighbor's house and we were just wondering if you your camera possibly caught footage of it uh um I can check what happened uh they're just we're just looking for someone well we called earlier this week about someone you posted on Facebook and he lives in this house right here and he's been coming and knocking on our window and we've seen other people post him before I've seen him on his bike I don't know if it's Bor and the same but um around 8 it's like8 maybe like right around there what call yeah no we got home like right at that time 8:31 that's us pulling inop theop call the cops2 you anything before that no I think it said like 5 510 when you guys were coming back up did you see anyone like walking through like the roadway or in the area no no I didn't did you guys remember I was conscious of that too because we've seen him before M well yeah there's a certain guy we talking about would be here way yeah there's a guy who's always creeping through our the side of the house is he like what what does the guy look like um he's probably like mixed right or tan bald or short hair he's got like a bow in his leg basketball shorts like nylon shorts t-shirt you see him walking a dog no no
