So, you don't want to give any because what's going to happen is whatever the other person tells us is what we're going to go on if you don't want to talk to us about what's going on here. What did you say you were going to pull me out of the car? I never said that. I said whatever happens, this is your opportunity to tell us what occurred.

I'm absolutely not. Okay. I don't know, but Huh? I'm being sick. Is there a reason you didn't stop for that car or whatever happened? I can't I don't remember. The suspect, upon questioning, Sierra acted erratically, denied remembering the collision, and became defensive and incoherent, claiming she was detoxifying. I saw you and you guys driving a red van right with white stripes and whatever and I'm just like I feel like I'm a prime example of do something about it. Like if you guys are the city police, you know, to keep our city safe like take the trash out whatever do whatever to hook up a hose. Are you speaking about yourself right now? Yeah, I'm pretty right now. Why? What do you What are you asking for though, Sarah? Cuz I I want to be able to to meet your request if possible.

Well, what I will say is that your you got severe damage to this the vehicle described as returned to you. Your pupils are pretty tiny. And you mentioned fentanyl possibly some THC stuff earlier, so I'm in detoxification. That I am currently deep into as far as I ever have been. Like at day nine, which I don't know how many people what happens at that point. Like I don't know if all my organs are even kicking back on, for real. Okay. Well, I I did offer medical.

Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. I wasn't here when my partner initially talked to you about this whole incident, okay? So, I'm just going to ask you some questions to clarify what exactly happened. Okay, we'll we'll document everything that you tell us. We will. And And you have you'll you will have access to that report. I'm not trying to be a criminal right now. I'm just trying to fight for my life, honestly, and Why why why you why do you say that? Why Why specifically do I say that? Yeah. Fight for your life? Yeah, like I don't know if all my organs kick back on heat up teens and all feels, you know what I mean? Okay. If you got that medical Would you really really want to throw away like a good 30 years by not washing? You got to wash your mother, you know what I would you like medical aid to come pick you up? I honestly don't know. Being that you guys could give me my money to do anything with my possessions and come check you out.

Well, just trying to figure out what happened, the way the call came out. And I'm not going to lie, when I when I came out in the hallway, I I was pretty easy to pick out which apartment cuz I heard yelling and bumping and all that. Yeah, because by then I realized I said, "I thought he was talking to his girlfriend." I thought he was going to talk to his girlfriend. When I realized No, I didn't realize. I thought he was talking to his girlfriend. So, I went in there and go, "Hey, what are you saying to people?" When I realized it was 911 on his phone, guess guess what? You can get your stuff and you can go. So, that's probably what you heard. Because I I warned these people. I'm telling people what I wanted. Well, I I actually I I heard like the sound of thumping and bumping right around here. Cuz No, no, that was the door. That was Beta. That was the door. I had to tell her to hit the door. You could see paws and everything. So, that was probably the door. Uh-huh. What I wanted, he just got his glasses. Yeah, he couldn't He can't drive. His glasses broke. So, he's been staying here and he said, "Mom, I need glasses." I paid for his glasses. Uh-huh. And he got the glasses. So, I said, "Go home in in with Beta."

When I I thought he was in a way he was calling his girlfriend. When I realized he was in 911, "You know what? You come out, take your dog, y'all go." Why would he be calling 911?

The discussion further unraveled, exposing hints of deeper family issues, unspoken frustrations, and the struggle between control and independence. He's been here since like middle of October. Yeah. Yeah. And since he just got his glasses, now he wants to dismiss mom and all that mom has done and he want to leave. But fine, we agreed in the morning.

Angela, do you have your ID on you, by the way? Of course. Thank you. I found out that the hard way. And are you good if I give him the dog's medication when I walk out? Oh, my baby will be taken care of. All righty, thank you. so embarrassing. Well, we're trying to make it to where it's not that way. I know it's tough, but we got to come out when we get called.

And where was all this? Um this was like right in front of his vehicle, his truck. There were I found one of the cases and I found the little liquor bottles. I kind of trailed it I think it was the that kind of broke open and it went all over the ground, so All right. And who was the um Who was able to get video footage? I didn't even see him. One of the customers actually pointed him out and said some guy just spilled out the trash bag full of liquor and he broke it. And then when I went out front to see where he where he was, he was out front with one of the other customers. And then uh I went out there and said, "Hey." And then he took off. So then he chased him and we all chased him down and he caught him um like Determined to hold him accountable, Matthew's mother insisted that he face the consequences to finally learn his lesson. When he gets to the police station, they say okay. Then they want to steal stuff. Now they say they'll go to court short instead of going to jail. Don't go for that either. He needs to learn his lesson. I'm sorry. It might sound harsh, but I'm done. I just went through a whole year, 2 years he was in a program, everything and Has he been in trouble before? Uh yes. And then they squashed that up for him because he was a minor. And he went through the He had to go to the uh He had to go to the He went to DADA. He was there for 7 months. He was supposed to only be there for 3 months. He was there 7 months. He's only been home I'd say maybe a year. I sent him to Alabama. I had to go back to Alabama and get him cuz he was calling me crying to his papa. So he needs to learn his lesson. He doesn't tell me anything.
