I want her to be scared. She's not going to hit me six times in front of my kid and then call me a bad person. >> My mom calls me a liar and stuff. She like gets super mad. He was like, I'm going to throw out. I'm just kind of scared. >> I got knives. >> I mean, I've been to prison. >> He did that to himself when he banged his head in the wall. >> On August 16th, 2023, officers responded after a woman allegedly assaulted her husband while he was holding a dependent. >> Okay, what happened? all this uh it's a constant fight about beer and cigarettes every night and I'm getting tired of it and uh I left with my dog to the dog park park up there. >> So you're at the dog park. >> Yes. So I came home. >> So can you see what happened? >> Yeah, >> that's correct. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So pretty much it's a kid kid drama. Okay. >> That I don't want to deal with and she wants to hold on to >> and she flipped that on me when I came home. I just got off the phone with my mom. I was up there with my dog Nala. >> Okay. >> And I got off the phone with my mom and she called her >> and she was here. >> Yeah. And my mom said that she was fine. She was calm. She was acting good. So I came home because we just got into an altercation. So I drove up there. >> All verbal? >> Yes. All verbal. All verbal. >> And so I drove up there and this just happened literally 25 minutes ago. And I come home and she's videotaping me in the car. >> Okay. So, I take my other dog and I go down. Like I said, I go down to this dog park cuz I took my little dog. You see her come back. I take my little my bigger dog up there and she's just like, "Oh, you want to do this and you want to do that?" And I'm like, "I'm not doing nothing, Jessica. I'm not doing nothing at all." And I don't know. I really don't. It's just It's a pity fight, but I got And she acts like I do all this bad stuff and I'm I'm tired of it. I'm done with it. >> So, you said your 2-year-old was in your arms when she hit you? That's going to be bad, ain't it? >> Tell me what happened. >> I'm going to be honest. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He's been right here the whole time. >> How did she >> hit me? About four times. >> Open fist. Closed fist. >> Uh if this was open, then I would not like to see >> I guess. But what I'm saying is is that it's more to the sense where she flips out every night over alcohol and she's going to use the excuse because her mom passed away 3 years ago and that she's going through some stuff and I don't know. But yes, ma'am, she hit me. She me in my eye and I had Trist in my arms. >> You allowed to press charges. >> I don't want to. I just want this to stop. I want her to be scared. >> So whose kids are they? >> Mine. >> They are yours? >> Yes. I am married to her and I have this one and him with her. Okay. Him, the 10-year-old, I'm not too for sure, but him, whenever I got out of prison, we got pregnant and he's born here, blue eyes, so I can't say nothing. Right. >> So, I guess and but the other one, you know, I do believe he's mine, you know. >> Either way though, she's mom of both. Correct. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, we're married. It's She has my last name. Both kids are legally both ours. Are you guys getting a divorce, stay together, or what's happening? >> On the 22nd, she knows it, but she don't really know it. But the 22nd, I have a a appointment for divorce, and she don't know that because of what's been going on. >> And so, I just had to do it behind her back because if I tell her, she >> she doesn't know. >> She does this. >> Yeah. So, I got to stay quiet. >> Have we been out here recently taking any reports on you guys? >> Uh, no, nothing like that. But y'all had y'all got a call whenever somebody up there or whatever said that we had a domestic hear and y'all just took here and there. So, but other than that, you know, two three times just from anonymous call. >> You know where she would go? >> I don't know. Her dad lives in Hollister and that's it. That's all she has. But other than guys, I don't know, you know, cuz like I said, prison life. So, I don't know what she's been doing while I was up here. >> Cuz I'm from Arkansas. >> Okay. Has she hit you before? >> Yeah, she has. She has. Yes. >> Yeah. She hit me in the back two weeks ago with a metal pole and I broke my back in 2011. My legs went numb for a little bit. So I pole. I can't >> You're not in trouble. >> I want her to be I want her to be >> but she also can't get you especially in front of your kids. >> I know that's not okay. >> But still >> get it. >> I mean she's like if you was my wife because I wouldn't want nothing to do wrong with you, >> right? And I get that. I do. kids being involved. I made a >> I get it. Okay. No, I understand it. I told her I didn't want to do this. I told her I was going to and I got the text to prove it. Last night I told her I call the cops and I did, but somebody called back and and said, "We got emergency call." I said, "No." I said, "You know what? My phone does that all the time." But it don't. It's actually me calling and then me hanging up. I'm so scared of what's happened. I've been in prison. >> Text us, right? >> No. >> Yeah. You can text my old one. So, if you're too scared to call us, text us, hey, I need help. This is what's going on. >> Okay. They can send you it's a it's called a prepared live and it literally can show what's going on in the birds via text message. >> Okay. >> And that that dispatches us out here. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> That's absolutely an option. Have you thought about an exparte? >> Like I say, I've been in prison, so it's like cut like my son, he's 10, and I I did eight years in prison in Arkansas and I missed his whole life and I'm here for him. That's what I'm saying is I I don't want to get no more in trouble. I'm just I don't want to go back to jail. I I don't want to. >> But if she's hitting you, that's >> you're not going to go to jail. >> I know. I understand that. But what I'm saying is that if I wouldn't called, what could have happened? You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Any type of persuasion or manipulation or lying could have happened because dude, she's a female and people take her, you know, more or less their their position with my background with me being in prison and with me doing all this. But what I'm saying is I don't want to get in trouble. I don't want nothing. I just want this stuff to stop. And if it has to do what, like you said, my kids are involved. I'm done with it. >> Why? >> I mean, you see what I try to do. >> Yeah. >> I mean, I try to do this stuff. I can't do it with her. want to drink and smoke every day and not work. She hasn't worked in 3 years. >> Sounds like she did some help. >> Exactly. And that's what I tried. I mean, I got a job interview tomorrow. I got to do a physical and a test and I'm gone. It's true corporation out of Springfield. And she I feel like she's just trying to track me and she wants me to go to jail like all the other times. I don't want to. I'm tired of it. >> I don't blame you. That's not a fun place. It's not today. You know, especially, you know, when I went to the worst ones in Arkansas, Cumins, VA, TU, I was 18 years old. >> Byebye. >> Oh, >> I get your D changed. >> Did your son see what happened on us? >> Uh, no. He didn't see it. But she opened the door and was like, she told him. She was like, "Does anything do I do everything every night? Do I do this every night?" And I told her, I told Eli, I said, "You tell her the truth." He said, "No, mom, you don't." She's like, "Are you serious? You're going to lie to me. you're going to lie for your dad and he's like, "No, I'm not lying. I'm He's like, I'm just telling you what I see. Then you're more than welcome to talk to him." >> I probably will. Did she say anything directly threatening to you? If it's along the lines of I'm going to hurt somebody or >> Yeah, but I'm not. We It's a little bit She does it every night. She threat every night. Pow pow boom boom boom. If I had a fish, I'd do that. But that's beyond the story. It's an ongoing process. But she's not going to hit me six times in front of my kid and then call me a bad person. I can't do that. Whenever I work for 3 years and I've been doing everything, she hasn't worked. She hasn't paid a bill, she hasn't done nothing, and I'm the badge. I understand her. >> You want to talk to my son? >> Yeah. Name's Eli, right? >> Mhm. >> Can you tell me what you saw tonight or what you heard? >> Um, >> you're not in trouble. >> I'm in trouble. >> Not at all. >> So, all that happened was I I heard yelling. I open my door and my mom's yelling at my dad and my dad asked me, "Does your mom ever clean up the dogs and stuff?" And I'm like, "Well, only like two times." My mom calls me a liar and stuff and I'm like, "I'm just telling you what the truth, what I saw." And then um so I'm punching my TV and then my dad comes in and he has like a big blues on the drive and I don't know what happened. >> Do your parents die a lot? >> Yeah. Yeah, most of the time. Does it scare you? >> Mhm. >> Do you feel safe with your mom? >> Do you feel safe with your mom? >> Uh, kind of. >> What does that mean? >> Like sometimes she's chill, but whenever she doesn't want her, she like gets super mad. >> Does your mom hit your dad often? >> The only times I've seen her hit him was one time she hit him with a beer can and then she took a pull, hit him on the back and he had back problems now. And then she hit him with hit him in the eye. Have you ever seen your dad hit your mom? >> No. No. Sorry you're having to deal with this. I appreciate you telling me the truth, guys. >> Yeah. You can go back inside if you want or stay here. >> She did this to you. >> Yeah. >> What'd you hit with a fist? >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Couple times. You know, I I might have, >> you know what I'm saying? I might have shut cuz he was in my arm. So, I might have did this. You know, it might have hit me a little bit better. But I got 10year-old inside. I don't want to cause no problems. I just I'm on parole. So, it's more or less like a a borderline for me cuz I'm not I'm not with the drama. I did 8 years in prison. I don't want to go back, brother. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to do good. I'm trying to do what I'm supposed to. >> Yeah. >> And if anything happens, I got to report it. Just I showed her a text message. My mom simply said, "If you're fighting with Jessica, getting call the cops." So, I didn't. >> Okay. Does she live here with you then? >> She lives here. Right here. We live here, brother. >> Oh, here. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> That's my neighbor's Okay. If she breaks in, you know, she breaks in the door or something like that, then it doesn't really >> it can't do nothing. >> It ain't going to hurt nothing. Yeah. As far as like she go, she'll she'll still go out the original charge. You can't get in trouble for damaging, you know, her own property or I guess the other probably leasing this. >> I'm I'm lying. She's not >> cuz she has no she has a job in 3 years. >> If you lock the you know, lock the door and stuff, she might just try to beat on the door and try to get you to open. Just give us a call. Well, >> she might be cooled down. Sh. I don't know what she's doing, but I'm just I I had to call. >> I mean, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. I had to. >> Absolutely. >> Do you still have those videos? >> Oh, yeah. This one right here. >> What you said? >> The >> You said I'm done. >> Is that what you want? >> You started slamming stuff and smacking stuff. I don't know what to do. >> What the are you talking about? I just went in there and I come in here and you're taking everywhere. >> What the Nathan? >> No. hang in here and say they turn the car. >> So I was like, "Yeah." So I was like, "Yeah, >> you're right. >> I'm sorry. I don't mean to do all this drama. I don't I don't like drama. >> I got to fall back, too. Okay, they're involved and it's not okay." >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. You're not in trouble. >> I don't really care if I was. I just You know what I mean? It's just to the point where it's just like, gosh. >> Mhm. What's going on tonight? >> Oh, I really don't. And you know, at this point, I'm just like, you know what? to take me because it's whatever. >> How did it start? >> These super puppies, his mom put up these our dog, which is big dog. Mhm. >> And her six puppies and I've been trying to work it out. I've been trying to help as much as possible and then all hell broke broke loose. It's just been crazy since then. You should see our wall back there >> in our bedroom. He punched like two holes in the wall >> today. right after that. Okay. >> And then he broke like several plates and I decided to take the car even though it doesn't work very good. I took the car and drove down there into our neighborhood cuz I didn't want to deal with it. And then he just started acting crazy and I was like I got to get away. And then 30 minutes later I come back and now he's just like threatening all kinds of stuff. And he said, >> he said, "Me and your family." Um, he was like, "I'm gonna throw blah blah." Like, I was like, "Do I need to even be here tonight? I'm trying to like deescalate the problem." And he was like, "No, I don't care." And he's just been threatening and threatening and threatening constantly. And he was like, "Well, when the cops come, they're going to come and get you." And I was like, "Fine, I give up. I give up. I just I'm done." He didn't touch you in any way though. No hitting, nothing like that. >> No, I mean he kind of went like that couple times. Like he wanted to hit me. >> I mean he kind of like I don't want to do it to you but he did. He was just like constantly like that in my face and I was like quit just leave me alone. M and then he took our one-year-old and put him in the L room when he's back there in our room with me and I was like, "Can I please like bring him back here because he won't take a bottle or anything from anybody but me?" >> The Tristan the little one. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Or the little one. The one-year-old. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. And I was like, just I'm just going to put him back in. He was like, "Yeah." And blah blah. And he kept threatening and threatening. And I was like, I'm going to call the cops if this is going to keep escalating. I'm not doing this. And he's just like, and now I'm I'm just kind of scared. I don't know what to I called my sister. I called everybody. I don't know what to do. And because our car isn't running, >> this one right here. >> Yeah. My car driving earlier. >> Just down there. >> Oh, okay. What do you mean it's not running? >> The radiator. It's broken. >> So, we have to keep filling up with water. >> And I didn't drive anywhere. I just went down there, parked my car, get deescalate the the situation, and then when I came back, I was on my phone with my sister and I was like, I don't know what to do. I'm scared. I'm so scared to go in. I don't know what to do. And she was like, you got to go in there and go to sleep. I was like, okay. So, I took Tristan's play and everything. And that's when he started threatening me again. And he kept threatening me. And I was like, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do at this point. Why don't you hang out with my partner? Okay. I'm going to go talk to um Jason. Okay. >> All right. I'll be back. >> Okay. So, what happened when she got >> uh nothing. She I got she picked up about to throw it at me. She >> or the other one. >> Oh, that one. I emailed you and said she's back starting her stuff. >> I'm going to bed. >> No, you're good. >> And no, that's what I said. She called me. I call the cops that I couldn't take a hit from a girl. I was like, "No, I said I called the cops because this is an ongoing process." But like I told you that I just wanted to stop. You know, I had my two kids. I was here. You see me. They're in bed and we was laying down. So that's what that's what I did. >> Did you say anything in the hurdle? >> No, I didn't. I mean from the text messages where it said you and your family. >> Don't need to show me those. >> Well, no. if that's what I sent her earlier today because she started to fight and she called me a crackhead.

And I tried to tell her, "Babe, we got two kids. We got responsibilities. We can't be doing this." And I even got the text message where she said, "It's the only thing that helps me relieve my stress anxiety." And I fully agree with that. When she says that I'm a narcissistic piece of and that she says that I throw her in the basement and do this and do that, I'm like, I have no money. >> Like my accounts are negative.
