I said, "Okay, well if you on break, you need to leave the floor." I'm watching the resident. So either you on break or you watching the resident. So she don't want you to tell her nothing. So I came downstairs to the supervisor into the room in the the room here. >> Who is she? What is the name? Do we have her name? >> My name is USA. What is What is last name?

So I told her, I was like, "You see supervisors walking and you just going to continue to dancing?" That's what she told me. I'm on break. She was like, "Well, I'm watching the patient." So I said, "Okay, you going to watch the patient or you going or you you on break or you watching the patient?" She was like, "Well, why you disrespectful, ma'am?" I said, "I'm not disrespectful.

I All I did is I clean. I was about to go on break. I was about TO GO ON BREAK. I was on break actually, but one of the residents had to go to the bathroom. I stood by her door, BUT I WAS ON MY PHONE. So the supervisor walks up there immediately on [ __ ] >> Was that the dude? >> No, that was the lady with the ponytail. She like um is this your set? And I'm like no. And um I'm like I'm on break right now. So she's like you cannot be right here. I'm like why you being disrespectful? Literally this is exactly how it went. I'm like why is it being disrespectful? She's like a child. Like her and her friend are laughing like they in high school like they bullying me. Like literally like trying to bully me.

I'm like turning. She like you can't turn on YOUR BREAK AND GO HOME. Literally just messing with me like like for what? Like for what? She was he was going to sign it and she kept he was trying to talk to her to figure out what was going on and she just like blew up and was like just sign it. And so he was getting ready to sign it. He was in the process and then she just started hollering at him and started at this place and I think she was going to spit on him too. And >> let me go talk to him as well if I can get his information. Did you witness the situation from when they were asking her to leave or did you witness anything prior to that? >> I only witnessed the last 20 minutes right here. >> So, how long was this going on? >> Honestly, I can't say cuz they said it started on the second floor. >> Um, so I actually my receptionist came and said they called me to the second floor because they were having a situation up there. And then when I I told them I was on my way up and like 5 minutes later, I started hearing her screaming out here. So, I came up and tried to talk to the team and I explained to her like what's going on. She wouldn't stop screaming. Okay. Um she wouldn't she started cussing me out and I'm like listen I'm trying to help you but I can't help you if you keep screaming. She just wouldn't stop screaming. But then um she gave me the phone to sign her out. And as I was trying to sign her out, she's just still yelling at me. So I'm like, "Okay, take the phone. I just need you to leave." >> I didn't do nothing. I cannot think of nothing. I JUST DID, BRO. But just went off cuz they sent me home. I'm trying to make money. I've been here since 6:00 in the morning. He bro, >> what time do you get off? >> Two. >> Two. Okay. >> Yes. That's so funny. That's so lame, bro. >> So you're almost off anyway. >> Yes.

We We got to get your information. >> I told I don't WANT TO GIVE Y'ALL MY INFORMATION. We have to have it. We have to have it. >> I don't want to give y'all my information. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm about to go home. >> You're going to make this into a bigger thing than >> I want to go home. Oh my god. I ain't got the police. I [ __ ] My name is You and I'm 19 and I'm ready TO GO HOME. >> DO YOU have an ID on you? >> I KNOW I DON'T HAVE NO ID. I'm ready to go home. But what did I do wrong? I didn't put my hands on nobody. All I did was yell. So, what did I do wrong? >> I didn't do nothing wrong. I JUST TOLD Y'ALL. >> I'm sorry. I'm just so irritated right now. I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Take a deep breath. Okay. I'm sorry. You want to sit down? >> I'm sorry. >> We're not going to [ __ ] with you. We're not >> I don't I think I got a picture on my ID. That's it. I don't have I don't have my ID on. >> No big deal. >> Got to get you. Fight. Fight. No. >> So, it's not like your first day. >> Meanwhile, the officer speaking with staff discussed the possible charges USA might face for her actions. >> So, this is the uh the report of the incident number 202428873. My name is Ken. That's my star number. This is technically assault. This is what it's categorized as. Okay. Okay. >> Assault is when somebody threatens to commit a battery and the person receiving it who would be receiving the battery is in fear of receiving that battery. Right. So like she even if she's fat at you that's battery like there there's a physical connection that's the problem right but there was a physical connection but it was the threat of the physical connection that's assault so there's um court date March 5th uh 2024 at 9:00 a.m. at the Orland Park Civic Center which is 14750 Ravenia right here in Orland Park. We received for assault threatening battery. This is the charge. The complainant is you. >> Um I issued it. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. If you want a copy of the report, you don't need one, but it's up to you. If you want a copy of the report, you can request it at the station. Um all the witnesses that were in the room with us there earlier are going to be added to the call as well. So, there's going to be a lot of information. There's going to be a report about the whole situation. >> Police then asked the staff if they wanted her to be permanently banned from the facility. Is there somebody that could um answer this? Do you want her banned from this location? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we're going to put a criminal trespass on her that if she does come back to this location, even if she comes back in 25 minutes and says, um, I forgot my headphones or something, you know, right? So, if she comes back, she needs to be notified that she cannot come back here. Once she is notified and she still chooses to come back here, she can be arrested for criminal trespass if she comes here and the business is willing to sign complaints. >> Okay. >> All right. Do I Are we supposed to contact her and let her know she can't come back or do you do that? >> I will do that. >> You do? Okay. And then I'll let them know. >> Okay. If I can get a phone number from her cuz I'm going to tell her that she's banned from coming back here. >> Well, they DNR her already. >> What does that mean that she took them off? >> She cannot Yeah. She cannot be uh back on this. >> Even if she's back on not on this rotation for work, if she comes here in her own free will to cuss everybody out, they want her banned. If I can make contact with her, she has to be warned that she is no longer allowed at this premise. I understand that she's not on a reg roster register to even come here. So, if she comes here on her own approval, saying like, I forgot a pair of shoes here or something like that. If she comes here and she has already been told that she is not allowed to come here, that is criminal trespass. If you're already banned from an establishment and you choose to show up, you're criminally trespassing. >> That was a supervisor. She literally he literally started me that's still with me like I was on break and I was I was literally about to go downstairs to start my break but one of the residents had to go to the restroom. So I took the resident to the restroom and I stood and I stood outside her room and let her go to the bathroom. And so she walks up there like IS THIS YOUR SET? And I'm like no this is not my set. And she's like um I don't even remember. She like um well you not supposed to be out here right here on your phone. And I'm like, "Okay." >> But you're waiting for the resident to use. >> Yes. And I'm like, "I'm on break right now." She was like, "Well, whatever." And then she walked off and she walked off, but it was her and another lady. They walked down the hallway. She was like, "Was idea?" She's fatful. Was idea. She sp her and the lady like, "No, no." So then they walk off and they come back up the elevator with another supervisor. And I'm sitting down charting and she like, "We want to see you loan." >> USA continued to explain her side, saying the staff refused to sign her paperwork, which would prevent her from receiving her paycheck. >> There's another officer in there. You just got to talk to him then we'll cut you loose. We get both sides of the story. >> I don't feel like asking my mom a boyfriend to come here because that [ __ ] going to take like 30 minutes and DJ they realize I was in there not trying to pay me G. THEY WOULD NOT SIGN MY LIKE THEY WOULD NOT SIGN MY PAPERS. THEY LIKE NO GO. WE NOT STANDING. We not standing. I'm like bro stand it and I'mma leave.

Like, like they was making it a big deal. I'm like, as soon as I get paid, I'm going to leave. He like, no. Go. No. Like, just pay me, bro. So, I can about my day. The work. >> He just work at anybody who got the warrant bar saying on their chest and sign for us. >> Okay. >> Do you work for Warren Bar through agency? >> Okay. >> But I've been working I've been coming to the same one for like 6 months every day. Like, come on now. Like, that's so lame. G. When she tried to leave on her own, officers stopped her and her voice grew even louder as she argued with them. >> My bus is going to come, y'all. Can I go? >> No. Yeah. >> But y'all going to take me home? Y'all going to take me to Chicago? The next bus I'm on for an hour. What y'all?
