She get up like rise up and she hit me. So we start fighting. He drops my baby on the floor. When I'm right, I'm right. And when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I would hit her first, I would have told you I hit her first because I ain't seen my baby in almost like 2 weeks because she been keeping my baby away from me. So I'm like, "Yes, they still swinging. I'm getting hit and everything." >> On August 17th, 2024, officers responded to a residence following a report of a woman getting into a physical altercation with her child's father's current girlfriend. >> Are you the one that called? Um, yeah, he caught, but I was the one involved. Yes. >> What happened? >> Um, I was upstairs. She came to bring his baby so he could see him. She asked to use the bathroom. It's a bathroom downstairs. She asked to use the bathroom. I heard her coming up the stairs. She opened the door. She asked if I was who I am and I said yes. She started approaching me.

It's my job to talk to y'all, not each other. You talk to each other. >> Mhm. I do. I >> Okay. Mhm. >> Start from the beginning. Calmly tell me what happened. >> So, what happened was I was parked behind his car. I brought my daughter to see him. Okay. So, I asked him, "Can I use the restroom?" He's like, "Um," he didn't say nothing at first. "Somebody got to use the restroom. Can I use the restroom?" He was like, "Go ahead, use the restroom." So, I go in the house. I use the restroom. I hear something. I walk out. She was standing right there at the thing. Somebody >> What? What's the thing? >> He I don't know if you can go in there. Nice little thing. Where the stairs at? Right there. >> Okay. >> So, I'm like, "What's up?" So, I go upstairs. I'm like, "What's up?" Like, and she like, "Oh, what you doing in here?" I said, "I [laughter] can be in here. This This my baby daddy. What's up?" like she get up like rise up and she hit me. So we start fighting cuz I'm not just going to let nobody hit me for one. I didn't hit you. I didn't give you I'm all the way back here. She like right there. You swung on me. So you clearly you have an issue with me. I don't even know you but you know about me cuz you've been watching me. >> Got the screenshots everything. She been watching. >> Mhm. >> So for you to hit me and I don't even know you. That's crazy. So we was in there fighting. So as we fighting, she doing all this talking. All this talking all this talking. Girl, you doing too much talking. like you already pulled my hair out or whatever the case may be. Okay. So then he drops my baby on the floor because my baby's in the middle of the thing crying. >> Okay. >> Boohoo crying. And he jumps on the bed. She's 8 9 months old. Okay. >> Are you hitting me to save her? >> Mhm. >> So now I want to press charges on both of them. Yeah, I do. >> He already have a case where he done hit me already. >> Where's the baby at right now? >> She I dropped her off to my grandmother house. >> Okay. So the baby's with the grandma right now. You left with when all this got done, you left with the baby, took the baby to grandma and came back here. >> Yes. Because my glasses is in there, my earrings is in there, and my ponytail is in there. And his mother said she's coming back to let me get my stuff. >> But and he already has a domestic violence case open because he already punched me in my nose. Um, and on July 11th to be exact. >> I'm like 2 to 3 ft from you. You don't got to be so loud. Okay. You see how loud I'm talking? >> I know. I'm so sorry. It just I'm >> I know you're worked up, but you got to remember you're worked up with them. You're not worked up with me. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And I'm right here. Okay. I don't appreciate being yelled at. Okay. You come out the bathroom, you see her wherever she was standing by the stairs. And you said, "What's up?" What did you mean by that? What was that? What was the purpose of that call? >> I said, "What's up?" "Hey, how you doing?" I said, "What's your name?" She ain't saying nothing. I said, "Oh, you the heaven girl." Because I've been noticing this girl. She been watching me for a while now. And I asked him about her. He said he ain't know her. So I now I'm just confused cuz it's supposed to be your girlfriend. But you told me you ain't even know her. I'm confused. So I don't know. But here. >> So what did she say in response to that? >> What you doing in here? What you doing up here? What you doing? What you doing? Baby, you don't live here. This is mama house. >> And what was And what was your response to when she said that? >> I can be in here. This is my baby daddy house. >> Okay. And >> And after that, she hit me. >> And after that, it it was what it was. >> How when you guys were talking, having the verbal exchange, how close were y'all? >> And when she hit me, she went like this. >> After y'all started tustling, >> she jumped in. >> I heard my baby. All I heard was my baby screaming and crying. And then I seen him. And he literally punched me. Boom. Just like that. and got on top of me and was HOLDING ME DOWN. WHY you in here? What you Sorry, but he was screaming, "Why you in here? What you doing up here?" I'm like, "She hit me first. She hit me first. You talking to me >> and this took place downstairs." >> No, this took place upstairs. >> Okay. Well, if you were downstairs and come out of the bathroom and you saw her at the stairs, that means it was at the bottom of the stairs. >> No, it was upstairs. I walked upstairs cuz I said, "Hey, what's your name?" Like trying to talk to her because I never met her before. And like I said, I didn't go up there being hostile. I just want to know who she was cuz I had no idea nobody was there. >> Well, that's different from what she said. She said you did come up there hostile. No, I did not. If I came out there hostile, why I didn't hit you first? You get what I'm saying? If if I had an issue with you, why I didn't hit you first. You get what I'm saying? You hit me first. I can understand. Now, when I'm right, I'm right. And when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I would hit her first, I would have told you I hit her first. I I have no shame. But you hit me because you're mad for what? You got them. You see what? >> Let me Let me catch her up real quick. >> Okay. >> So, first person I spoke to was the lady who's currently in my back seat that was driving this red car. Her name is Heaven. That's this guy's boyfriend. These two have children together. Heaven's the new girlfriend. He [snorts] comes up and starts laying hands on her, too. Until she gets out. Accurate. >> Yes. Very accurate. >> Okay. >> Have you got any injuries? >> She's got injuries on her face for sure. She got that scratch on her nose. I'm going to get a better look at this one. >> I got a scratch right here. That's really it. She pulled my ponytail out. >> I have not run anybody yet. I will do that now. >> Put your hands out for me. Let me see what you got. All right. Let me see your face. Ever married or live together? Yes, we live together um from January of 2023 to January of 2024. >> Has he been legitimized? >> Had his No, he's the only thing he signed is her birth certificate and then a a paternity a nudgement agreement. That's about it. Do >> you have any injuries of any kind on you? Were you involved in anything physical? >> No, I'm good. It just >> Were you involved in anything physical? >> I wasn't. Only thing I did >> Did you get hit? >> No. >> Well, I got I don't know where I got hit from. They were just swinging. So, I'm just trying to break the [ __ ] up. >> So, they just swinging. Did you hit anybody? >> No, I ain't no bar. >> I'm single. >> I'm going to check her for injuries real quick. >> Miss Heaven, do you have any injuries? >> No. >> None whatsoever? >> Not that I know of. >> All right. I mean, you obviously guys got in a tussle cuz I'm just checking to make sure you do or do not have any injuries. You hurt anywhere? >> Mm-m. >> Okay. >> That's the reason why I ain't me and her wasn't even talking. So, and that's another reason why I ain't want her to come over here >> because me and her already got an altercation and stuff like that and this domestic violence stuff and she all she always >> Oh, she mentioned that you got in trouble in the past for domestic violence. >> So, that's why I never I don't invite her over here. I don't do none of that cuz she said she wasn't going to press charges no more. But she hit me first and I even got on record that she hit me first >> talking about in a previous incident. >> In a previous time. So, that's why she didn't press charges on me. >> All right. >> All right. Go ahead and tell officer Gossip what happened today between you three of y'all. >> Okay. So, she came over here. >> Who is she? >> Okay. >> My girl, we was already over here chilling. So, she was like, "Okay, well, I want Do you want to see the baby?" Cuz I ain't seen my baby in almost like 2 weeks because she been keeping my baby away from me. So, I parked her car inside the garage so it won't be no, you know what I'm saying? No issue. It won't be no issue. So, when I parked her car in there, she came over here. We outside just chilling. Next thing you know, she say she want to go use the bathroom. I have a bathroom downstairs and she exactly said she wanted to use the bathroom downstairs. Mention my room is upstairs with my girl. My girl is upstairs chilling. She went at the bottom. I guess she didn't go to the bottom. She went to my room to to trying to see who's inside my room. Basically, I'm like, I'm outside. I'm literally sitting outside with my baby. I'm holding my baby in my hand. So, I'm like, why is taking her so long? Because the bathroom literally soon as you walk through the door is right there. So, I'm like, what's going on? Oh, looks like somebody's walking into your house. >> Yeah, that's my that's my grandma. >> Okay. >> So, I'm like, why is so long? So, I go in there. I'm downstairs. I just hear like stopping like like they fighting. So, I I'm running upstairs with my baby. I put my baby on the floor so I could break it up. So, I'm like this. They still smoking. I'm getting hit and everything. I ain't I didn't hit nobody. I ain't do nothing cuz I'm trying to break it up. Ain't no point of me trying to hit her because she's my that's my girl. No, I'm not doing none of that. I'm just trying to break it up. And that's when she kept she she was like, "Oh, she she ran downstairs. She like, "Oh, where my ponytail? Where my ponytail?" I'm like, "No, just get the out cuz you already said you was you was going to the bathroom downstairs, so why was you going upstairs?" So then that's when she had done she backed up. She drove off and she grabbed my baby. She drove out there. That's when she left. And then that's when she was going to get ready to leave. I was telling her to just chill. So and that was it. And then that's when she pulled back up when he got here. I ain't touch nobody. I ain't do nothing cuz ain't no point of me touching anybody because I already know the type of person she is. We like I said, we already had a case already with domestic violence and all that stuff. She hit me previous. I had her hit a bag or something like that and then that's when she already made a police report and then that's when she dropped the case on it and everything. >> I got you. What we talking about today though? >> Yeah. But that's the only thing. >> So you're saying you didn't you didn't hit her. You just tried to separate. >> No, I was trying to separate like this. It's like both of them. I'm getting hit by both of them. Literally, I'm in the middle of both of them. >> You don't have any injuries? >> No, I'm good. >> Cool. Let me photograph you. Put your hands out straight like this. There you go. Put them together. As of right now, I'm still investigating this, trying to get everybody's story. But because you are already in handcuffs, I'm gonna read you your rights before I talk to you. Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Having those in mind, do you want to talk to me about what happened? >> Start from the beginning. Tell me what what happened. >> I went to use the bathroom and he called and he said, "Hey, she is um I he have a bathroom upstairs." That's where I was. >> Okay. >> Um he was like he let me know, "Hey, she's coming in to use the bathroom downstairs. Just be vigilant." I said, "Okay." like just not to make any noise to know that I was there. >> Right. >> The bathroom is right here. >> Uhhuh. >> She was supposed to be using this bathroom. >> My room is upstairs. So when I was I'm thinking she still in the bathroom. >> Uhhuh. >> I dropped my baker right here. >> Okay. >> That's when I hit them. So I go in here. I just hit on. See, I got my PC and everything. It don't spill everything on my PC and stuff. So >> what kind of PC you got? You a gamer? >> Uh yeah. 30. I got a 3070. >> You stream? >> Yeah. That's my bathroom right there. So, she was just trying to come up here and be nosy, BASICALLY. >> WHAT THE [ __ ] Y'ALL GOT GOING ON, MAN? >> MAMA, that's not me. That's I'm down. Mom, >> no. He He from what I can tell from all the stories, he didn't do nothing wrong. >> I didn't do nothing wrong. >> I ain't saying it's YOU, BUT YOU KNOW WHEN BOTH OF them [ __ ] together, >> I heard somebody come coming up the stairs and I assumed it was him, but when she opened the door, I seen it was her and this were her exact words. Um, who are you? What's your name? And I said, "Why are you in here?" And she said, "Oh, you that heaven [ __ ] the [ __ ] that be watching me." And I said, "Okay." Mind you, I'm laying in the bed when she came in the room. As she's talking and asking me my name, she's approaching the bed getting in the area where I'm in. Like, she's about to pounce on me. So, I stood up so I wouldn't let that happen. So, she came closer. She was in my face. And then she was like, "You getting up like you trying to do something in my face." So before she got the chance, I hit her. Yes, I did. I hit her and then that's when we started tustling. She was trying to hit my head up against the wall. We like I said, we was fighting. [snorts] It was probably about 5 minutes of fighting. He ran upstairs. He broke us up and everybody was yelling or whatever. He he asked her, "Why are you in here? Why are you in here?" And she kept yelling. She hit me first. [laughter] She hit me first and I was yelling. She was in my face. She She was in my my personal space. She was in my personal space. He's trying to get her downstairs. Meanwhile, still trying to break us up. And after that, I stopped dealing with her. I stopped being in her area. She was asking where her ponytail at. Where her ponytail at? Not sure. I was just standing. I wasn't by them anymore. They were by the doorway and I was more by the bed. Um, after that, she ran downstairs and then came back upstairs and he said, "I'm going to call the police." I assume she ran downstairs, got the baby, and left. And then I was I was about to leave cuz I didn't want to I I needed to calm down. So I was about to leave and then that's when this officer pulled up. The adrenaline was rushing. So I was very upset and >> Did you hit her with a closed fist or open hand or what? >> Open hand. >> Where at? >> In her face. >> Which hand did you use? >> Right. >> All right. We're about to cut you loose. Okay. >> Okay. >> Because based off our investigation, we're determined she's at fault. All right. So do you want to press charges on her or do you want to let her go? >> I want to press charges. >> Okay. Just so she doesn't know what's coming when we walk over there. I'm going to take you out of handcuffs after we put her in handcuffs. Is that okay with you? >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right, honey. Go ahead and step out for me. >> Trans back. >> Turn around. Being detained right now. >> Uhhuh. >> We going to go with battery. We going to go with a fray. >> Going to be battery. Appreciate your patience. >> Mhm. >> All right. Don't say nothing to her. You got me? >> Yes, sir. >> So, why she get >> We're going to explain everything. Just a minute. >> Don't leave quite yet. Like I said, you're not you're not in any risk of getting going to jail or nothing, but just don't leave quite by yet till we're all done. All right. >> All right. That's ridiculous. I'm going to jail. >> Yes. >> What? But she hit me first. >> Based on what we've determined, based on all kind of injuries, based on what each one of you has told us, it appears to us that you provoked this. We've already walked inside. We've looked at where everything occurred. We looked at all the evidence in there. There was a bathroom downstairs. >> I Right. >> Why did you go upstairs to go in that bedroom? I She was standing over the thing and I was trying to talk to her. I never met her before, so I was trying to introduce myself. I don't know her. >> Okay, >> that's what it was. It was I was never hostile. They're literally lying. >> Well, you're going to have to explain that in court cuz right now between the three of your stories, yours is the only one that don't add up based on what we've investigated. >> They going to lie for each other. That's his girlfriend. That's ridiculous, man. >> Well, be glad it's not with him because it'd be family violence like this. It's not family violence. So, it's a little bit easier when she hit me first. Like, she literally >> she admitted to it. >> She had no problem admitting to it. >> So, why she's not getting in trouble, ma'am? >> Because you're the primary aggressor. You should not have went upstairs. >> But I was trying to talk. Okay. So, can somebody move my car? Or can I call my grandma or something? >> Where's your phone at? >> It's inside of my car. >> Can you assist me if it's all right with you? You can let me go back in your house. Assist me with finding her ponytail and earrings and stuff that came off. I guess this would be the ponytail right here. >> Yeah, I guess. I don't know about her earring. >> There's one. There's one right there. >> Got you. >> Oh, maybe that's it right there. That looks like an earring. Yeah, that's it. [sighs and gasps] Do you want your purse with you or no? Are you going to leave it in the car or what do you want to do with your purse? >> You can leave it. I'm just so confused as to how I get hit and I'm going to jail based off of a story that both of them going to corroborate because they're in a relationship. Like that doesn't that makes sense. >> I can I'm happy to >> I'm happy to tell you. Now, you're not going to agree with it, but I'm happy to tell you. Okay. Basically, the reason why you're getting locked up is because you have permission to enter the house to use the downstairs bathroom. >> And I did, >> according to their order of events, and what they're saying is that this didn't happen. Use that as an excuse to get in the house. You went upstairs, went to his bedroom, and confronted her in a hostile manner, and she felt threatened for her safety because of how you approached her. And so, she defended herself. All right. That >> is crazy. >> So, because if you have permission to go use the downstairs bathroom, that's all you have permission to do. There is no reason to be upstairs. All right. >> But okay. I don't know. But that's just You going to let HER STAY HERE? LIKE THAT'S JUST CRAZY. Like she literally hit me first, Miss Melissa. >> I don't know. >> And she said she hit me first. >> Baby, >> he threw my baby on the floor. She was in there crying, Miss Melissa. And he hit me through that girl. BUT THAT'S THE THING, Miss Melissa. We already had that conversation. If you want to have SOMEBODY OVER HERE, DON'T TELL ME TO COME over here. He told me to come over here. And for you to hit me, you felt threatened, Miss Melissa. ALL I SAID WAS, "HEY, what's up? what your name is. Then I said, "Oh, you the heaven girl." Cuz she been watching me on social media for months. >> I'm going to go back and I'm going to do your damn intake when I go back to damn work. >> I'm going have to be doing dealing with I'm so sick of y'all. >> But I just don't get it. Miss Melissa, how is it okay that she get to stay here? Like why is she still here? >> We going to talk when you get to the jail cuz I got to go back. >> What are we doing with the car? >> She's about to park it up. >> You're going to park it? >> I'm going to let it go. >> Do you have her grandma's number to call her grandma? >> My phone. >> She got to write it down. >> Where's her? You got her phone in the bag up there. You might hand it to me real quick. >> I don't have the tail. >> I don't have the number. I don't have your number. >> She'll let you get the phone number out your phone. >> The woman was charged with simple battery and thirdderee cruelty to children. Family violets.
