All right, so What is your ex's name? >> Lance. >> All right, so you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and to have them with you during questioning. With these rights in mind, do [snorts] you wish to speak with us? >> I'll go ahead and speak my side. >> Okay, so from time to start to finish. >> Okay, so I I got I was on my lunch break. I was going to try to talk to Lance. And I showed up and Caitlyn was there and she hauled ass the other way. Well, I followed her. I'm not going to lie, I followed her. And then she got like I wish I could explain it cuz I'm a hands-off like a hands person to stop. So like from me to her was her bumper to my truck. Well, she hit like no joke slammed on her brakes. And I had already had my foot on the brake cuz I knew she was about to hit a speed bump. So I hit my foot on my brake and then I let up some and then I went to go hit it again and it literally would There was nothing there. And that person right there in the vehicle can vouch I don't have brakes on my truck. My truck brakes are shitty, excuse my language, but And that's exactly what happened. I called her after it happened and was like, "Where are you at? Let me meet you. I will give you all of my information." She was like, "No, that Cheyenne." So I I left. I went home because why am I going to, you know, continue to try to give her my information if she don't want >> So I don't know. Hold So I'm doing the aggravated battery side. If it was a an accident, it would still be you can't leave the scene of an accident. >> And that's the thing, I didn't leave first, she did. She left first and I put that on my kids, I put that on my mama, everything. She left first. I put my truck in park and got out of my truck. >> Okay, there are pictures, I see that. >> I got out of my truck. No, no, where where are the pictures that he showed you? That was not where it happened. >> Okay, do you know where it happened? >> I can if I was in Avondale, I could show you exactly where it happened. >> Okay, yeah, cuz she couldn't tell me either. So, she was like in that neighborhood, I was headed to this address and it happened somewhere along because she was there and we just sped off. >> And I like >> you said, "I'm fixing to hit your shit." >> I never said that and I swear I never said that. >> Okay. >> I never told her once that I would hit her [ __ ] I never said once on the phone that I would hit her [ __ ] >> To Lance. >> I never said that. >> Okay. >> I haven't talked to Lance. I don't I have my phone, but I can't pull up my call logs cuz they're on my backup, but I never once said I was fixing to >> Well, I saw a call log a mile long of between you and him and her you and her. Yeah, so I saw that. >> I know I tried to call her and she kept "I'll call you back, Shyanne, blah blah blah. I'm trying to figure out what's up with my truck." You know, then hang up on me. So, I called her back like I was trying to give her my information so that we didn't have to deal with this because I hit her truck. Yes, I did. I hit her truck, but did I purposely hit her truck? No. If I purposely hit her truck, I'm sorry to say it, but I if I was that mad and I purposely wanted to hit somebody's truck, I would not hit it with the front end of my truck, ruining my like radiator and [ __ ] That's my only way around. Why would I do that? You know what I mean? So >> So, what I guess you're on your lunch break and you were >> I was going to talk to Lance. >> Did he say to meet up or did you just show up? >> No, I showed up because I had his location. >> Okay, y'all share. >> Yeah, we shared locations and then he blocked. >> Okay. >> I can pretty sure you where I put sharing my location with him. He blocked me, so it automatically put sharing. >> So, what was the intention of >> I was >> following her? >> I was literally trying to see why she was over there. That's literally why I was going to follow her was to try to see why she was over there. And then I called her, she didn't answer. >> And when she sped off, >> I just followed her. I wasn't like trying to do no harm. I When she sped off, I was following. That's the whole thing. I know Avondale like the back of my hand. >> Okay. >> So, I I could have called >> sped off, you followed, and then all of a sudden, she brake. >> She brake. Like, we were at the last speed bump before the stop sign, and she hit her brakes. And when she hit her brakes, I already had my foot on my brake. And I was going to let off some, and then I went to go hit it again, and there was nothing there. >> Okay. >> I literally struggled to get home cuz I had no brakes. >> Okay. >> So, I could have broke off the a line, something. Like, I don't know. I haven't looked. >> Yeah. And the pictures when you were outside of your truck, >> that's where I stopped at the stop sign, put my truck in park to see like what was going on with my truck, and I couldn't figure it out. You can't just figure it out when you're standing there. >> Right. But, you left. Why didn't you call us or FHP or someone? >> I did. I called the sheriff's department. I called them. I can pull it up on my call log because I talked to FHP because my mom was like, "He's trying to get you for a hit-and-run." And I was like, "What are you talking about?" So, I called the sheriff's department, and I was like, "My ex is trying to get me for a hit-and-run. This is what's going on." She was like, "Okay, well, I'll transfer you to FHP." I got on the phone with FHP. FHP said the only hit-and-run that they had was in Fort Walton County or Fort Walton Beach or something like that. So, I called them. I did. I got transferred to FHP. I didn't get transferred to y'all. >> Yeah. And they they were saying it was intentional, and you're saying it's an accident. >> It was not intentional. Like I said, if I intentionally hit somebody with my truck, I'm not going to do it where my radiator is going to bust. >> Okay. >> I'm going to sideswipe them or something, but I'm not going to intentionally hit somebody. That she I know damn good well she's got two kids. And yes, me and her have problems, but I love her kids, and I know that's her only way of transportation, so I'm not going to intentionally hit her. >> Okay. If if I end up going with you, or are you coming with me, I'll let you go pee. Okay. But right now, I've really got to pee. >> You know how you got to pee? >> Will you let her know that y'all are trying to figure out what's going on because she she is my ride. >> Is that guns? Oh, I was like, [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> I was like, that's definitely a That's close. >> Will you let her know that y'all are trying to figure out what's going on for her cuz I don't want her freaking out. >> Yeah, you can. And again, I do appreciate you meeting with me so we can get it figured out. >> And that's that's And I'm not going to sit here and lie about the situation. Like, there's no point in lying. That just makes it worse on me and her in the situation. >> Yeah. Yeah, it does. You're right. >> I'm going to take you. >> You'll have a chance in court to explain your side of the story. Just from what they said >> Okay, I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. I am going to let you pee, but >> I have two kids, and I know that if I go to jail, he's going to go take them, and I'm not going to be able to see them no more. >> What do you mean anymore? Y'all have custody, right? He said y'all have 50/50. >> Yeah, of one of them. >> Yeah. >> Can he take them from me because of this? >> No, that was that was girlfriend. It wasn't him. It's not DV related. This is strictly two individuals. There's no DCF, there's no nothing involved in this. This is ex-girlfriend versus I don't know, flame, or whatever she is to him. All right, it's no no DCF, no children, or nothing. >> Can you give my phone and my jewelry to her so that >> Are you good with that? >> Yeah, that's what I want. I want my phone and my watch to go to her. >> Do you need any numbers out of it? >> I do. >> Okay. >> Do you mind loosening this one? >> I'll go after that. Okay. All right, we're on 10-10. >> And then I have a necklace on, too. Do you all want to take that one off for me as well? >> I see you want to do that. >> Yeah. That's one of those things. >> So, we're not liable for anything that comes up missing. I know, I know, I know. >> I trust her. That's why I'm >> The gifts? >> Um no, and we'll go over >> Will you um let her know just to put my phone on the charger, please, sir? You going to walk over there or >> I'll drive you over there.
