Is there is there anyone with you at all? So, >> I usually get gas here and I go to Venice to go see my boyfriend. He lives in Venice. He works in Venice and I stay with him sometimes. I'm on my way to go there. I've seen them before at this gas station because I usually stop there to get gas cuz I have these this couple usually they have babies and they're in the car. Different cars today. I see them walking. So, I come up and they're like, "Hey, how you doing?" Cuz I always say the baby's cute. Whatever. Something like that. They're known as how are you? The girl goes, "Excuse me. Do you have cash up here? I'm so sorry about it." I say, "Cash up." I do have cash app, but for my kids, I don't really know how to use it, you know. >> Are you hurt at all? >> I am, but I don't want to go to Christmas. I just want to go home. >> You want to just come here and check you out? You don't go with us. >> No, no, no. It's just It's just my trip. >> Yeah. I just got to get home and clean it really good. and that's up whatever I still have the adrenaline rush cuz it just happened. So I'm struggling trying to I said you know finally yeah I could do it but all I have is 100. She had 100. So I said I could do it but all I have is 100. The boyfriend says I can help you do it. You know he takes my phone. He does the 100. She freaking takes my phone. The $100 never gave it to me. He took the 100. Put it in his account I guess or whatever and starts running. So they ran through the grass like through the dumpster and stuff. They thought I wasn't going to get through there. It was very hard to, but I did it. So, I get through the dumpster. I guess they try to cut through. They thought I wasn't going to like do it. So, I cut through very straight area and she goes, "What?" I said, "Give me my phone." What? Give me my phone. I need I want my phone. It's S23. So, she's like, I said, "At least give me my phone." She goes, "Here for coming into the side door here." So, I didn't know if they stayed here or not. I came in and I'm telling the lady what's going on. She said she wanted to call the cops cuz she wants them out of the hotel. I said I don't really care. But I got my phone back. That was more in front of me. But she me up because she was younger. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> She I know she me out. I feel it. She got the best of me. I tried the best I could. >> Oh, we were we were fighting. I was trying. >> And they might be staying here. >> She said they are staying here. >> They are staying here. Okay. >> But this is the thing. I live in the area. So, I know she's going to go to jail for this probably and I don't want the problem. So, is there could be like a a order of protection too, something done like that? Like if she's >> So, the protection order would be you going down to the courthouse and doing that. >> Okay. >> Um, if she struck you, you have the right to press charges. >> I want to press charges. I want to press charges. I want her to go to jail today, Christmas, for doing what she did. I don't even want the $100. I want her to go to jail for doing what she did. >> She took 100 in cash. >> Yes. They never gave me the cash. >> Oh, they just transferred it from your account to >> from my account to him. >> Okay. So, I'm just going to get a statement from you. >> I always go to this gas station. So, the lady >> Does she know what room they're in? >> I guess they stay here often. Once I told the description like, "Oh, yeah. They stay here a lot." >> Let me just take pictures of your >> I don't know if you guys have alcohol. >> Oh no. >> Turn that out. >> Is it hot? some scratches. >> So, she should The front clerk should know what room they think. >> She wants to press. >> Oh, sorry. >> Merry Christmas. >> Merry Christmas. >> Sounds good. >> Um, so she doesn't know anything other than this female walking in. Um, she gave her some water, described two people that she thinks are staying here, but she's got no issues. Like, no reason. So they're fine. They don't need anything. I guess it's whatever she wants. >> Yeah. >> But we have possible people to talk to. >> They're not personally known. So if they're here, >> Oh, that's her. >> What's going on? I don't know. Some strange lady just trying to attack me. >> Trying to attack you. >> Yeah. >> So, is that you didn't think it's all us when people attack each other? >> I mean, >> no. Sorry.

So, that's why we're trying to figure it. We have to figure it out. >> It was altercation. >> Oh, I know. >> But it was definitely one-sided and I >> I'm not saying it wasn't. But what you're doing right now is good then because that's what you need to do.

And I said, "Okay." And I felt it. She said, "We just wanted to put $100 if you have another." I said, "All I have is 100." So, she's like, "Yeah." She had the money.

I was just I wasn't going to ride, but I they was just like just ride cuz I don't even really know how. >> Where did you guys make contact at? Like where did you guys meet up at or where? >> Right over there by the um side of the building over there. So I came down. Yeah. My my room is a little closer to that end. So I came downstairs. She was standing there. They was talking and I was like um I'm about to go to the store, get something to drink. She Okay, I'm about to go there, too. So I went there. We ride in the car. She talking about a million things. And then we get back, she just changed the conversation up. She's like, "Oh, don't disrespect me." And at first I'm like, you know, cuz she's older than me, so I'm like, "Okay, whatever she felt disrespected about, you know, I'm like, "Okay, cool." And then that's when um she just kept going on and on and on about it. So I'm like, "Um, you know, hold on." And then she tried to show out, I guess, one of my boyfriend. So when I said hold on, she go and jumped out the car and trying to attack me. Like, so I'm This is her car. So I'm already getting out of her car when she started going out. I'm already getting out of the car. So, did all this happen at the gas station? >> Yeah. So, everybody was there to see it. So, I'm still like clueless of what's going on. I'm going to go get my my juice or whatever. So, I'm trying to get out of the car. She mad or whatever, but I'm not thinking she's serious. Like, I don't know her like that. I don't know really what's going on. >> And this all started inside the vehicle. Inside the car? >> Yeah, in the vehicle. She started just going first everything was calm and fine, but when we got to the gas station, I don't know if she waited till we got to the gas station. I don't know if she like tried to get me to get in the car to get like do all of that, but we got some gas station and she just hit the grip on me and I got out the car and she >> So, you got out of the car? >> Yeah. To go. >> Did she get out of the car, too? >> Yes. Okay. >> Mind you, we're at the pump. So, I'm already like she had to get out and come around. So, I'm getting out to go into the store, but she comes over and tries to she comes over and tries to attack me. And then um my boyfriend, he's blocking and he's like, "Hey, can you calm down?" or whatever. And I'm just backing up and I'm just like, you know, just looking at her and, you know, that's what was going on there. And I was just like calling her crazy, whatever. Everybody was seeing that. I just walked off, walked back here. But then she followed me when I was walking off. She followed me through the Waffle House and she drove her car through the um Waffle House thing and she got out and started chasing me again. So I just kept pushing her, pushing her, pushing her, and just pushing her to the ground. But I was intently fighting her. I'm just pushing her, pushing her, pushing her, pushing her. That's all. She was trying to attack me. I'm trying to get away from her the whole time. I finally ran here. So, did you guys ever went inside the gas station? >> No. >> Never made it inside the gas station? >> I was trying to get >> Okay. So, both of you guys got out. You guys were beefing and then she just randomly started attacking you. >> Yes. >> And when you say she started attacking you, what is what do you mean by that? >> Running at me and screaming and looking like she wanted to jump on me. Attacking. I thought I don't know. >> Okay. So, that happened and then you just walked away or you ran away. >> I ran all the way here. I ran through the house. >> Okay. >> And she followed me there.
