Tell me what's going on. Josh. >> got a strong heartbeat. >> He's high as [ __ ] Josh. Like the only thing that's happened to him is he where you shot him in the butt or whatever. And uh he he got dog bit in the leg. So, that's nothing to make him be acting the way that he is right now. And the reason why he got dog bit is because it's better than the alternative measure of shooting him. >> Hey Josh. >> Hey Josh. What's going on with you? >> Get him up. >> When EMS gets here, we'll get him situated, all right? We'll >> He's He's a good man. >> Okay. >> It's not his fault. >> Is he prescribed like any kind of like uh medication for like >> Just the Suboxone's is all he >> Hey, let me speak to my dad, please. >> Okay.

This is going to sound so stupid, but he's got a hold of this Bible. >> The officer finds a bloody bathtub with supplies that indicate the suspect was treating his gunshot wound. In addition, there's also a Bible, a pistol, and a rifle sitting right next to the tub. >> Yeah. >> I'm sorry, buddy. Right now, protocol is we can't have any riders. Did he actually make it into your trailer? >> No, he was beating on the door. I thought he was going to break the door down. >> Where'd he get shot at? Like, where was he at? >> I walked over here and >> Okay. It was a a rifle and a pistol laying in the tub in there where he was at. >> Yeah. >> It's probably a good thing we didn't go in there. >> He was beating Jacob. Jacob had shot in the eye first beside his trailer cuz he had Karen locked in the bathroom. >> Who do you have locked in the bathroom? >> His wife, Karen. >> Wouldn't let her leave? >> No, we could hear through the wall uh whispering he's going to kill her and everything, but uh >> And that's his wife? >> His wife, yeah. >> Okay. >> Give me that. >> What's that? Oh. >> He raised his hand, then he turned on me. >> So, he turned on you here? >> Yeah. >> Okay, so he's he's got you at gunpoint in the bathroom. Then Jacob comes in and sees that? >> Yes. He pointed the gun on me a few times. >> So, a couple times he pointed the gun at you. Okay.

He said, "You going to shoot your daddy or you going to shoot your daddy?" Jacob had done shot him once, but that's all he shot him was one time. But uh he was back here on top of Jacob and that's when I shot in the arm and told him, "Josh, don't do this." And he said, "You going to shoot me?" I said, "No, Josh, I don't want to shoot you. I love you." >> Right here is some blood. >> Yeah, that's blood here. >> Up here on the porch right here. >> Yeah, this is where he's come on the porch after he's been shot. Right over here is where he was on the ground uh taking the crap out of Jacob trying to take the >> Take the gun away from >> away from Jacob and that's when I shot in the arm on the porch there. He's lost some dollars here it looks like. >> Okay, so he puts the gun on you a couple times. Was it the pistol or the rifle? >> The pistol. >> Okay, so he points the pistol at you a couple times. Then what happens? >> Trying to get me to talk about say Satan. Say it two or three times, you know. >> So he wanted Was he trying to like trying to get you to summon the devil or something?

You'd have to >> ask Jacob there. >> Belinda was out there uh saying, "Josh, please get off of him." And I had went on to the front door. Belinda came in shortly saying that she could not do nothing by the time she got Jacob in and we locked the doors and called James. >> What was he trying to do after that? What was Josh trying to do after that? >> He was beating on stuff. We could hear that. >> In here? >> Mhm. We didn't see him do it. >> Okay. And uh when did he come back over there? >> Josh?

Has he had like some kind of a mental break in the last couple days, weeks or so? >> Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. >> So, >> The last couple days, he's been acting odd, but he's been real clingy me, you know, and telling me that he loves me. He was saying a few things that might be off the wall. >> Like what? >> Well, he burned a bunch of stuff, you know, that he had and might have been looking for the tree of life. I I I don't know. >> What's he normally like? >> Normally, he's uh okay. >> Do you know of him having any kind of drug addiction besides just painkillers? >> No. >> So, I'm going to go back through everything to make sure I didn't miss anything. I didn't I don't misquote you or anything like that. So, he was in the bath or in the bathroom, had a gun pointed at you couple times, and he was trying to get you to talk about Satan, say his name multiple times. What was he saying in the bathroom? Whenever you got here. >> Jesus, Satan, puppies. >> Jesus, Satan, puppies. And that's out of the normal of how he usually talks? >> He's He keeps to himself. He don't let his secrets out. His father beat him to no end, and he promised me he'd never do that to me. And I probably pushed him to this point by being a smart ass. >> No, it's No. >> No, it's not your fault. >> No, you can't blame yourself for something like this. >> It's not. >> All right, ma'am. Can I get your name, please? >> I still go by Karen. >> Are you guys married? >> Yes. >> Well, hang out for a little bit. If I need to ask you any more questions, I'll come back here. I'll give you a break right now. >> Okay. >> The suspect, 42-year-old Joshua, was indicted on the charges of felony first-degree unlawful imprisonment for holding his wife in the bathroom against her will, felony [music] first-degree assault on a service animal for attacking the K9 on scene, Tonya, and felony first-degree wanton endangerment for his disregard for the safety of others during the altercation. He was convicted on all three charges and sentenced to 5 years for the unlawful imprisonment charge, 1 year for the assault on a service animal charge, and 3 years for the wanton endangerment charge. He will serve his sentences concurrently at the Wayne County Detention Center with the eligibility for parole in October of 2027. >> Parole began in the 19th century as a peer-to-peer system of support, according to the [music] Brennan Center for Justice. The ideal was to help those convicted of crime live lawfully outside of jail or prison and be rehabilitated. However, according to the National Institute of Justice, 2/3 of all parolees are rearrested within 3 years of release. Parole might be an effective and safe incentive for certain people who've committed crimes, but determining if parole is a good option for people who not only commit serious felonies, but are also clearly mentally unstable is a completely different story. So, honestly, the question isn't whether someone deserves another chance. The question is whether the public should be the one taking the risk.
