the gripping story of this man whose anger consumes him when faced with the unexpected truth about the woman he loves were you in the bed or are you standing I was in the bed laying you were laying down when he grabbed you by the neck on January 2nd 2023 officers were dispatched to a residence in response to a report of a woman who had recently been violently assaulted by her boyfriend the law enforcer spoke with the victim and promptly heard about the incident I'm just going to ask you again before he's here I know you already said but when he put his hand on your throat he said is is this what you you want were you able to breathe when he had his hand around your throat I was in I was scared I was scared and in shock and I couldn't move I froze right but what I asked is when he had his hand around your throat did you have any difficulty breathing okay and it didn't last very long did you lose Consciousness at all no okay so did he threaten you with the knife or was he just destroying property in your room he was destroying property he laid hands on me and I know um earlier like okay I just didn't W to AR advised the vehicle was already on at 036 hours at Pinebrook in Laural in Venice what made him stop I told him I woke up and I told him don't touch me don't me and I told him what made him stop attacking you did your family members get involved or did he just stop on his own and leave I don't know but I know like she walked in with that and they talked to her okay they talked to him before he left yeah they told him to okay and this is your boyfriend how long have you guys been dating Facebook official September 30th okay talk a little bit before that okay I'm going to talk with his officer real quick just hang tight okay the police talked about the situation and came up with a plan to manage it smoothly they've been dating for about 3 months now they've never lived together and they have no children Inon but it is an intimate dating relationship oh should I move my hand yeah oh I I thought this was she said that she was like they'd had an argument she laid down in bed she didn't want to fight anymore and she said that he started like violently shaking her rolled her over uh put his hand on her throat and said something to the effect of like is this what you want is this how and she thinks he's doing this because he was going through her phone while she was sleeping uh she said I mean you you heard her she said that she had difficulty breathing while his hand was around her throat she never lost Consciousness and I guess while she was sleeping he had taken a box cutter and destroyed some property I have not been in there to see it but then s like some family members wanting to talk to him and then he left yeah he's probably he lives with his dad in Venice so I'm sure he's there um do do you want written statements and I have not actually looked at my neck to see if there's any injuries yet okay but he did he like threaten her with the box cutter or she I asked her that directly and she did not just damag property she said just D Dr 40 he did impede her breathing somewhat though right is that enough foration she said she had difficulty breathing yeah she never blacked out but I I think that you could definitely that could be sufficient especially if she has marks on her neck which I haven't checked for yet um do you want witness statements yeah okay um do you want me to hold off for a little bit or do you want to have because he already passed what's it called like 25 30 minutes ago unless now see if we can find the car at least at the house where does he live in Venice or his dad lived in Venice yeah I had he's probably there my suggestion would be uh solidify your case confirm your charges and your problem cause and then uh contact the supervisor and then have another juristiction go check because if something falls apart few minutes and then they get into something down there trying to get into this guy and that wouldn't look very good so solidify this and then he does have mental health issues he's on medication for anxiety or he was and he stopped taking it okay the cops took detailed notes of the victim's information as she described the horrifying moment you mind if we talk to you one more time I'll be the one taking this report I know it's you're going through a lot but I just like to kind of hear everything for myself again okay so this happened approximately about an hour ago maybe even a little bit longer okay and you guys are both in your bedroom and that's upstairs and which apartment you live in okay what exactly happened up there he started talking to me arguing and everything and I didn't want things to be as lat so I like I told him can we talk later like let's wait until tomorrow tomorrow you know like I have nothing more to say to you what were you guys arguing about like he was just saying a lot of things and I just I wasn't really responding at all and said and I tried lay it down to go to sleep and and he started cutting up um a stuffed animal with the box cutter and then he cut up my my favorite and then he he shook me awake and he said like this is what you want isn't it this is what you get something like that and that's when he um put his hands on me and like started to choke me and everything and then I like don't touch me yeah can we just see your neck do you have any bruising or injuries did he grab both sides of full hand around it can you show me how think it was like like that were you in the bed or are you standing I was in the bed laying down you were laying down when he grabbed you by the neck you said I was laying like this and then like he came up on me and like Shook Me Away me over and then he got up in my face and over and how how long were his hands around your neck I don't recall not very long like it could have been like a minute were you gasping for breath when you let go were you having difficulty at all a little bit and and like he he to that to my stuff and then he he he choked me and I didn't want anything worse to happen I don't want him coming back here cuz he I don't think you leave me alone I don't want to risk anything this happening okay um when you took your phone from you were you trying to contact someone for help like police no you weren't trying to call 911 when he took it from you was this after you got choked um before you weren't trying to call no I was just trying to just do whatever to have him leave me alone and not doing say but obviously the officers continued their investigation to fill in the missing pieces of the story so after he were you able to like get away from him is that how we like stopped choking you or just got away from him and then he like how were you able to get away from him did you push off him at all or he he let go he just let go okay cuz I told him to let don't touch me did you leave no I thought I okay so when then what what happened next after were your family in the apartment or um we KN got to join my sister and her boyfriend came in roommate was sleeping correct and then this happened when then two were in the room and then roommate was sleeping no one else was inside the house when this happened um you called your sister um no he send text which we're going to get in the family group chat and I think he called her or something we're getting right now okay and then she was concerned and then she came over with uh stepfather and was he still here at the time or did he leave um he was here for just a very short while with um my my sister and then and then left you guys just shared a couple words and then he left right the family so when he let go of you you guys were still both in your room or did you separate from him and went elsewhere the standing or I just the start and he was standing facing around I thought he was going to destroy more [ __ ] he Cur with me again but my sister so after he was pacing that's when he contacted your sister in the group chat was it was before like early on that was like the first things I didn't pay attention the time I just like I'm really tired was tired when the sleep so I didn't want to deal with anything and just go to sleep I'm sure the other officer already asked for your name and everything can you just provide that for me again so um I think you just so he knows it um he was look for your phone right is that why he got mad is that why started okay but he was already um and is he on medication for uh yeah um did did he still taking it I know and he on medication for a depression and I think think when do you know last time he took his M but I know he's still taking his after hearing the story officers discuss what the next steps will be considering they have only one perspective and it's difficult to make a decision the Tex actually like corroborates her side of it though because that seems like I don't want to say a valid reason but like that explain if he has impulse issues off realiz so he went on to her phone while she was sleeping and forwarded screenshots of her text messages to family members which is why from her phone or he sent them to himself and then from her phone oh from her phone to them um and it's basically a conversation between her and another male the mail is Proposition her for and she says basically my boyfriend's name I can't he says well when can we do it and she answers back like like tomorrow when I get off the work or something like that um but they all family members said like he's super paranoid he's thought he's she was cheating on him since they started dating so he could have been spot on the entire time or he could be paranoid and created the text messages himself and I was just going to say he had phone I guess it would depend on what time it was too cuz if it was like sometime in the middle of the night that she's randomly texting or it looks like random texts are coming from her phone right he could have been the one sending them all along oh for sure to the other guys like um fur delusion or whatever the officer updated the woman on the progress regarding her boyfriend outlining the next steps I don't know if the other officer told you already but he's already been taken we found him at dad's house I believe in Venice so he's in custody you're going to be safe for tonight does he have keys to your apartment yeah okay so we need to if you want yeah if you want to call Schwab have him see if he'll willingly turn over the key we'll have to do some type of property receipt or property exchange for that did he he's going to be transported to the Sarasota County jail so Venice is is Venice Police Department is driving him up here officer Schwab is meeting them at the jail and is going to interview him there did he say anything pardon did he say anything we haven't done an interview or anything with him yet to like the person who took him I I don't believe so but they the the officers that technically took him into Custer from a different department they're just acting on our behalf so we we don't have direct communication with them but officer Schwab who you talked to before is going to do a full interview with him at the jail do you know if he keeps keys on his like car key yeah I know he has one the gold one and I think he red he I think he just has gold one oh okay um one okay so he's in custody now I have some paperwork for you and we're going to do something together to make sure you have adequate resources and as much information as you need going forward okay after bringing Phillips to the station the officer listened to his statement I'm going to ask you a few questions before we do that because you're in hand CS detained I'm going to read you your Miranda warning okay you have the right to remain silent having these right these rights in mind do you wish to talk to us now yes okay so um leave it open-ended what do you have any idea why we're here and why you're here I have a pretty good idea but I haven't been told okay would you like to share that with me I'm assuming it has to do with Luda C okay so would you like to tell me about what happened tonight um basically I found out she was cheating on me I woke her up um um so this all stemmed from you found out she was cheating on you yes okay yeah that probably was really upsetting I can imagine how long have you guys been together um I think we like three and a half months maybe three and a half months okay so still kind of taking long okay do you often um from my understanding you guys don't live at her apartment together do stay over each other's frequently off and on like you know sometimes I'll be there for three or four days at a time but um okay you know I don't but not permanently okay okay good um so you're right that is obviously why we're all here right now um going back to what you told me and if if I say misspeak anything please correct me I don't want to put words in your mouth or anything like that so you said you you found out that she was cheating on you how did you how were you able to find that out oh you know went to her phone when she was sleeping you know the usual yeah do you guys usually like share passwords to your phones and that sort of thing so it's kind of a normal thing to be to access each other's I hadn't you know checked for a while cuz you know I didn't trust in her you know um I just it was a bad night um I decided to go through it when she was asleeping forgot to delete something yeah that's do you remember if it's okay if you don't remember but do you remember around what time that initial kind of incident happened 12:30 1 maybe 12:30 or 1 I'm not I'm not exactly sure that's okay around that time that's fine that's fine so you said so after you found out was it immediately after that you said you kind of shook her no I I waited about 5 minutes I I got dressed um I turned the light on um and then I I got on the bed shook her you know woke her up you know obviously she was Dazed you know I put the phone in her face um so okay and that was when it when it started then um can you describe to me I know it's hard you know obviously I can't have you show me how you did it right now but can you describe how the way that you shook her to wake her up I mean I probably shouldn't but I mean I I just you sounds where was she at this time she she's in bed was she laying down yeah she was asleep okay when you grabbed her by the neck was grab her by the front of the neck did you grab her anywhere else no do you remember it's okay if you don't remember but do you remember if you used both of your hands when you grabbed her neck area or just one um even if you don't remember you know it was kind of you know Adine flowing I was very that's understandable okay um so you were able to to wake her up you said she was kind of um not startled but like Dazed yeah she took probably 30 45 seconds to really realize on the situation and you had her phone still at that time and showed her messages is that correct I think I had I had taken a picture of uh the deleted messages with my phone and it might have been with my phone or her phone but I had you know somebody's phone you know showing her in the face like you know what is this the the messages that you had found yes okay so you were showing her those and and what happened after that I just asked her what is this about who is this you know um I think I said I I [ __ ] knew it you know I was right to you know be paranoid and all that that kind of thing so okay and then you know she was playing it off Phillips recognized the severity of the situation and realized there was no way out so he decided to face it head on so after that you mentioned before that you were you had ripped apart like a teddy bear something I got her a giant squish mall or whatever like one those $40 wands or whatever you know okay what was the purpose of you doing that or did you have a purpose when you were doing that I I felt hurt and I know she liked it you know so she hurt me so I destroyed the the stuff okay do you sorry go ahead I don't mean to inter no no no no that's it okay do you recall if you um broke or destroyed anything else while you were there clothing it I don't know if it was her shirt I was you know I would wear it from time but yeah it was a black shirt with like red red design on it and you also did that with the box cutter I slic with the Box um see so you you used the Box you ripped open the squish M and the stuffing I put the stuffing around the shirt and then what happened after that uh she she had like a just to you know just I was pissed off if I'm being honest okay did anything else happen after that no okay her sister and her uh sister's boyfriend came over okay yeah they mentioned something that either you or someone somehow shared the messages that she had been oh yeah yeah um I had I got on her phone this is before I woken her up when I you know I found everything I had actually sent them to her family um oh okay the her messages with another to just to like show them what she had yeah her what she had done also I mean really poor taste like I even after you know I had left property or whatever really regret doing that but her par are yeah okay um has anything like this ever happened between you and her in the past I mean I've been aggressive with her before um you know just kind of playing around in a way um okay I think the other night um I kind of I might have grabbed her arm you know more strongly than she would have wished okay was that not not tonight not part of this incident there was another new year was New Year so was last two nights ago something like that okay New Year's Eve you know when the pineapple dropped or whatever oh okay where were you guys also at her apartment when that happened no we were on Main Street you were on Main

saddened by what she had experienced seeking help from a supervisor can can you talk to me about it cuz I want to understand I'm very upset okay you know they put in the newspaper it's on Facebook there's people texting me from Gallop that I didn't even know you my number and knew anything now said to that I'm Ina I mean what who saying that you'rea the J news it's all over Facebook they send it to me I didn't didn't see it can you show it to me cuz I haven't seen it she what's his name oh okay so the I I hope you realize the reason they put that is cuz that's our only women shelter that wasn't for you hone now his sister and everybody's going to know see may I look is it okay and then if you read that and then snap on it I am so sorry and like all sorts of people are commenting on it on Facebook people know who I know they do I mean yes he tried to kill me that I understand but I don't want Toes or attempt to anything like that so so let me let me go over a couple things with you okay and you know what baby if you still I'm not telling you not to be angry you have every right to feel the way that you feel okay we have no authority over the newspaper and it makes me so angry that they release as much information that they do and if I could stop it I would and I'm so sorry that I can't I think it's horrible that they do this only when to go down there and not the for them doing that then that's going to be okay no because good old New Mexico says that they're allowed to do that and I don't agree with it and I'm so on it posting on it but you know what of course they're going to because you know this town and all the freaking chatter boxes they just want to talk about anything that they know nothing about right exactly talk about your kids don't talk about people you don't know exactly why your kids out there the supervisor tried to comfort the woman offering empathetic support and advice to help her deal with the emotional impact of her experiences anybody else involved who knows this knows that you did nothing wrong and it is not shameful to be a victim my sister calls me and then she said that my youngest sister's mad at me so then my older sister calls me and tells me you're stupid know they're going to get in for this and that and I'm like you stupid just don't know how I felt the D was beting the [ __ ] that's right you know almost died can I can I be candid for a second those girls right I think you de's always metad at me anyway so I don't go no clearly they don't care about you whoever's saying this my sisters baby girl they don't care about you if they're saying that exactly they haven't talked to me forever and they like oh how could you do this to him well you with him you guys play with each other all the time anyways no no this is not how could you do this to him this is not you okay this is not you how could he do this exactly okay I'm like you guys don't know no they don't I'm the one that my mouth still hurts I just have bruises coming out I was telling for yes when I'm in the shower you know when I'm in the shower I have at my body my mouth is Wonder hurts not Choice sweetheart they didn't feel like they were about to die like you did exactly okay and I know that it's so easy for me to say this okay I get that it's easy for me to say it anything that say they say it doesn't mean right okay and if they try to talk you out of going through with charges or they try to do any of that and we can prove it like they send you text messages or Facebooks or anything you come tell me and I'll do something about it okay yeah CU you you weren there in the hospital with me I was the adant was there oh so she didn't have to be there yep that's right so are you there at the hospital or are you guys every time I get kicked out of the motel no I had to figure out on my own how to do it and then the stupid idiot still around me that's right you know I was just telling that I try to have him thrown in rehab no his stupid horse sister goes and tells him not to go here's the thing here's the thing though is I want you to understand rehab does not fix abusive Behavior rehab just say yes girl rehab can address alcoholism and drug use okay but not his thinking but no people this is this is a big misconception people think well the only reason he beats me is cuz he's high or it's because he's drunk no no no no no an abuser is an abuser is an abuser okay so when I drink it's okay for me to go knock theit out of his sister when she calls talking you know cuz I would love to do that and your daughter get invol I know you would love to right now I'm so mad let me let me talk let me talk talk to you about the charge or the the attemp let me get your thoughts on that because I can tell you why I saw that I can tell you why I saw that crime when you and I were talking and you gave me that explanation where you said like the whole reason like a lot of this started is because he just wants to you all the time right yeah and then you said the night that it happened it started where he had he had wanted to have and you didn't want to which is perfectly okay but then when he made so here's where he tells me this is what tells me his intention was to se you is when he flat out basically says it if you're not going to give it to me I'mma take it right so that tells me I know his intention and then he goes and he physically follows through by grabbing your hair pulling you back on the bed and getting on top of you like girl what any reasonable person what are they going to think he's about to do had you not fought back what do you think he would have done killed me he he would have killed you right oh yeah in that relationship be done with it so here's the thing whatever consequences come from his actions on him that's not your worry that that is not your concern he's a grown man who if he's going to commit those crimes and victimize people he can answer for those crimes we are just as frustrated that we keep arresting ing people arresting them arresting them and guess what they get out and then we arrest them and then they get out and then we arrest them and then they get out Eddie
