restraints. >> Yay. Let's do it. We're going to do it. Yeah, let's do it. >> Yeah. Good luck. >> It was a quiet August afternoon in Neptune, New Jersey. Routine patrols rarely [music] carried surprises until a single car broke the stillness, speeding, swerving, almost daring attention. But when an officer lit up his cruiser, the driver slipped into a neighborhood, pulling over in a way that felt less like compliance and more like strategy. >> Stay in the car. Stay in the car. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have time for this. >> No, you're staying in the car. >> No, I simply don't have time. >> Stay in the car. Stay in the car. >> Can I help you, sir? >> Stay in the car. You're being pulled over. >> Thank you. >> Send me another unit. Stay in the car. >> I need to go. >> No, I need to see your license registration return. >> Um, I can't do that. >> You're going to be placed under arrest. >> That's fine. >> Okay. No, don't touch me. Don't touch me. I'll put my hands anywhere. Just stop touching me. >> Hands behind your back. >> Stop touching me. >> Hands behind your back. >> Stop touching me. >> Turn around. Hands behind >> Stop touching me and I will put my hands behind my back. >> If you stop touching me, I will >> turn around. Hands behind your back. >> Excuse me, sir. >> You're going to be placed under arrest. >> Turn around. Hands behind your back. >> You're going You're placed under arrest for obstruction. >> Hands behind your back. >> Of what? Justice. >> Yes. >> This is justice. >> Yes. >> I have somewhere to be, man. >> Hands behind your back. >> No. Stepping out and trying to walk away was never going to work. More so in New Jersey, where ignoring a police signal isn't just careless, it's criminal. Eluding is a thirdderee offense, punishable by 3 to 5 years in prison and fines up to $15,000. [music] This moment here could have ended with just that, maybe even a warning. But the choices the suspect made next rewrote everything. >> Turn around. Hands behind your back. >> Please do not do this. >> I'm not doing that. That's it. >> Last time I dealt with cops, they beat the [ __ ] out of me. >> Okay. Well, we're not looking to do that. >> Who the is we? >> I just want I'm placing you under arrest. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> What did I do? >> You're being You're placed under arrest for obstruction >> of what? >> Motor vehicle stop. >> A motor vehicle. >> You're looking to leave. Turn around. Hands behind your back. >> I'm looking to Yeah, I'm looking for this situation. Can you please take me to the hospital? >> You're going to slow it down. She's in custody >> right now. Take me to the hospital right now. >> They probably missed me. >> I will do some crazy [ __ ] if you don't take me to the hospital right now. >> Okay, we'll take you to the hospital. What What do you need the hospital for? >> Oh, you know, they probably miss me in Wally World. >> Okay, >> let's go. I got enough bruises on my wrist. Thank you. >> What's that? >> I got enough bruises on my wrist. Thank you. >> You don't have to make them any tighter. >> I'm just making sure they don't slip off cuz you got tiny wrists. Okay. >> Thank you. A >> Barely 2 minutes into the exchange, the officer realized this wasn't simple resistance. Her behavior edged into something far more erratic. But the obstruction itself couldn't be ignored. In New Jersey, obstruction of justice means deliberately hindering law enforcement. whether through flight, intimidation, or interference is classified as either a disorderly person's offense or a fourthderee [music] crime carrying up to 18 months behind bars. And in this case, the officer already had a bad feeling about her. >> Can I please go to my appointment, sir, >> or are you going to take me to the hospital? >> What's going on with you? What's your name? >> Uh, people I keep doing my hardest trying to be a good person, and people keep arresting me and beating the [ __ ] out of me and >> Okay. Please, please take your hand off of me. Is the cuff's not enough? >> No. >> Okay, take me to the hospital then. Right now, please. >> What's going on with you so I can help you? >> Uh, mental health. >> Okay. >> PTSD. I don't like when men touch me. >> Please stop touching me. >> I have a female officer coming on the way. >> Great. Can you stop touching me? >> Well, then lean on the car. >> Okay. Turn around. Lean on the car. >> What's your name, dear? >> Beth. >> Beth, what's going on with you today? >> I'm trying to get the out of Jersey. >> Okay. >> You know. >> Okay. Some dude threatened to call the cops on me. That's why I assumed you pulled me over. >> No, I pulled you over for speeding cuz you were speeding. >> Cuz I have to get out of here, man. >> Okay. >> I have to get out of here. >> PTSD can push someone into erratic reactions. But in her case, it rang differently, more like a shield against accountability than a genuine explanation. She even seemed to believe that a trip to the hospital might dissolve the consequences waiting for her. To the officer, it all felt needless. Still, she pressed forward. >> I have to get out of >> Where were you coming from? >> I don't the crystal in. >> Who's your owner of the car? >> Me. >> I I understand you. >> I'm the owner of that >> owner in Elizabeth. Okay. >> Seven road Hamilton. >> Not anymore. >> What brings you all the way out here? You've been staying at the Crystal Inn. >> Yeah, with a friend. >> Okay. And what happened? >> Oh, he started to call the cops on me and I said that's enough of this. >> Okay. So then you left >> and then he said you stole my stolen everything. >> I bought that cash. >> Check it all around >> when I was a teenager. >> Okay. >> All right. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. >> I need >> When she spoke of running away, she meant it because earlier that day she'd already tried sidest stepping arrest for theft. But that wasn't what unsettled the officer most. What demanded his attention now was her totally unpredictable behavior. I have somewhere to be anywhere but here. >> Well, you're now you're now under arrest, but if you need mental health services, well, >> I don't, but if that's the only thing that'll get me out of here. >> Well, this is not going to get you not under arrest. All right. You're still you're still going to be charged with that >> with >> for the obstruction of you trying to walk away from my motor vehicle stop. >> Okay. >> I have somewhere to be though. >> Okay, that's that's that's fine. What happened over at the Crystal? You just starting to call the cops? >> Yeah. And then how'd you end up in Ocean Grove? >> Well, he said, "Well, karma, if you don't get my back by 1:00, I'm going to like take you to court or call your mommy and daddy." >> Okay. >> And I said, "You're right. I do care about karma." So, I threw his at the door and I left and I'm trying to leave. I'm trying to get away from him. I'm trying to get away from here. >> Maybe I was speeding. Perhaps. >> You were. >> Perhaps. Eventually, [snorts] she gave herself away almost carelessly, as if the repercussions no longer mattered, and escape was still somehow within reach. But one look at her made something undeniable. She was the last person who should have been behind the wheel. Recognizing that, the officer called for backup. >> Will the pretty lady officer take the cuffs off and let me leave? >> No. No, that will happen. >> Okay. So, take me to the hospital. >> You can take me. We're going to take you. >> You don't need your buddies. It's okay. >> We're going to take you to our headquarters first. Okay. >> Do you have uh do you have insurance on this car? Scan my car. >> I have insurance. I have registration. >> I'm living in there. I got everything in there. What do you want? >> Can you call my emergency contact? It's my dad or my mommy. You want to call my mommy and daddy? 34 2600 search her first. >> I don't have anything on me. Do you have anything on you that's going to stick to her? >> No. These cuffs, they kind of hurt. >> Yay. Another guy. >> He's beat me up, sir. >> You guys Neptune police? >> Yes, we are. >> I'm so excited. I have a complaint to file with the Neptune police. >> Wow. We get to go all the way down >> for [snorts] now. She seemed calm, but her words betrayed a mounting frustration, teetering on the edge. With backup units now in place, the officer moved to take her to the station for standard processing. That simple decision became the first real breaking point. >> You want her in >> inside or you want her out here? >> Stop touching me. >> I don't like when people touch me. >> Pulling away from me. Okay. >> Stop touching me. >> You're very welcome. >> Will you take me to the hospital, please? >> Can you stop moving around? >> No. All right. >> Stop touching me. >> Stop. Relax. Where do you want her? >> Stop touching me, sir. Stop touching me right now. Stop touching me right now. Come on. Come on. Come on. Stop touching me right now. >> You're going to walk to the back of the car. >> If I stop touching you, walk. Okay, got it. >> What part of PTSD is so hard for cops to understand? That's crazy. I love it when men touch me when I ask them not to. Doesn't bring up any bad memories. All three officers followed protocol as closely as they could, a courtesy they didn't technically owe. But Elizabeth wasn't interested in compliance. She was looking for an outlet, a way to escalate. And as soon as one episode ended, she was already starting another, as if the situation existed solely for her to unleash it. >> Hi, it's really hot. Can we like I don't know. Thank you. Can I please go to the hospital, ma'am? I would like to talk to my doctor. >> Okay, we'll talk about that. I'll let him know. >> Thank you. They probably missed me over in Wally World. You know, everyone liked me there. Two people proposed to me. It was so fun. Take me back. Those were my people. I do belong there. I did assaulted a police officer after he didn't take his hands off me when I asked him so very nicely. Oh, I am a danger to other and myself. Please take me to the hospital. If I scream more, will you take me? >> NO. HOW ABOUT NOW? HOW ABOUT NOW? WHAT ABOUT NOW? IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO START GOING TOWARDS THE HOSPITAL? >> It's important to note that in New Jersey, officers are legally obligated to provide necessary medical care if a suspect requests it. Legally, a detainees request triggers a duty for timely evaluation and treatment. Failure could mean a neglect of duty or civil liability. Elizabeth seemed to know this all too [music] well. Even when she admitted her true intention was to waste the officer's time, her frustration flared the moment she wasn't allowed immediate access. And with that, the theatrics began, turning routine compliance into a new stage for chaos. >> You're going to You're going to stay now. How about now? >> How about now? >> GET TO THE HOSPITAL YET. HOW ABOUT NOW? Sit back in the car. Back. >> Take me to the hospital. >> Sorry. Sit down. Then why are we sitting here? >> Okay. Sit down. >> You have to be patient. >> No. I don't. >> Why? >> Why? Because I'm a danger to myself. Sir back in the car. >> Take your time, sir. Please. >> I'll be transporting. to Jersey Shore. Start mileage 99851 tac 4. Notify Jersey Shore security. >> Can you stop kicking? >> Transporting to Jersey. >> With no options left, the officer finally began transporting Elizabeth to the hospital. Almost immediately, she lashed out. The ride became a controlled storm of frustration until slowly she began to calm as they pulled up to their destination. Will you walk in with us right now? Yeah. All right. Come on. Let's walk in. All right. Come on. You could use your feet first. I'm not going to touch you to move you. I'm just going to help you. Okay. I don't want you to get hurt. Okay. Let's just go in together. Seems like you're having a rough day. All right. >> I know. I know. I don't want you to have a worse day than you have to. Okay. You'll be all right. We'll sit down. >> Take a You want to take a seat here? >> I would like to go to the bathroom, please. We're going to get you in the bathroom right now. I can't get you to the bathroom. >> You're not going to stop me. >> We're not because you're working with us. >> Yeah, you're all right now. >> Believe you can take the handcuffs off. >> Scooch back. Scooch back if you got to kick off. There you go. Okay. >> Here. Kick off my hand. Okay. There you go. >> All right, Elizabeth. We're going to take off one of the handcuffs and place it on the side of the bed. Please cooperate with us. Okay. >> Okay. >> Much to the officer's surprise, Elizabeth was calm, almost compliant. They guided her onto the bed as they waited for the doctor. The tension seemingly dissolving. Yet somewhere in that fragile quiet, she seemed to crave the chaos she'd left behind. >> I talked to my doctors. They keep calling me being like, "Hey, you have a bunch of time on your hands, right? It's not like you were just locked up eight days. You have your own business. It's not like you have people to talk to." Yeah, you can just We can just call you whenever. Oh, I hope I see. She said, "Do you even have a job? [laughter] Not only do I have a job, every second I'm in here, I'm losing money right now. Right now, I'm losing money. I'm a freelancer. I do design and video and photography and media and whatever. >> Yes, >> I filmed at the Stone Pony last night. I have a real job. Margaret said get a real job. I was like, you want me to go down to Centerfolds or is my owning my own business for seven years not enough? Oh, can someone please call my mommy and daddy >> so they can take me home? They're busy, but I think they they come for this >> again. They're going to be like this again. >> By now, the officer knew her patterns well enough to stay [music] silent. Any word, any command could set her off. And that's exactly what happened. >> What did you say? >> I have some parking tickets from when I got left out of my car. >> Okay. >> Make sure they run those. Been meaning to pay them. It's Monica Geller. Just kidding. It's M something. M. Geller. I don't know what this is for. He's Russian. Is he here today? Can anyone hear me? >> Hello. >> She said she just wanted to see the doctor. >> She wanted to see her car. She mentioned she wanted >> She hit her head. >> Yeah. Then she crushed her head a couple times. >> No, not doing that. >> All right. We're going to have >> Not going to happen. >> Not going to happen. So, you don't really have a choice. >> I do. And I'm not doing that. Get the doctor down here >> so I can talk to him and get my 72 hours started >> cuz y'all aren't holding me here for 72 hours again. Okay. >> I I'm not making the decision, but >> I'm not doing that. Get the doctor down here now. >> I can't just make him come. Okay. >> When Elizabeth demanded a trip to the hospital, she believed it would bend reality in her favor. Maybe the doctor would declare her unfit for arrest. But when reality refused to match her expectations, frustration turned to fury. >> Hand them to me. >> They're close. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Will you change? >> Sure. Oh, will all these men watch me change? >> No. There will be no boys if you don't want. >> OH, WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE WOMEN? HOW ABOUT THE [ __ ] PEANUT GALLERY? WHY the whole hospital down here? >> She's in our custody. She should be out of our custody. I feel like it shouldn't be more of a risk if we just get her chance in our custody. >> I'm just going to call security. >> THE MOODY TUNES ARE IN. >> OH, PLEASE CHANGE. NO, DON'T CHANGE. HOW ABOUT YOU JUST LAY HERE AND do nothing? >> Hi. Can I SPEAK TO THE DOCTOR YET? >> YEAH. You want to put her in there? >> Yep. Elizabeth had become a clear danger, not just to those around her, but to herself. With that reality pressing down, the officers moved to the next step, carefully attempting to tranquilize her, hoping to buy enough calm to regain control. >> Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. >> No one is going to help me. >> Get away from me. >> Get away from me. GET FURTHER AWAY FROM ME. >> LISTEN, WE GOT TO SIT ON THE BED. >> NO. >> NOT IF you don't get away from me. >> CAN I SEE A DOCTOR? NONE OF YOU LOOK LIKE DOCTOR. >> GET AWAY from me. >> I just told you. >> I AM SITTING ON THE BED. >> WHERE'S THE DOCTOR? DO YOU HAVE ANY DOCTORS IN THE HOSPITAL? >> HE'S going to come. >> No, I CAN'T. I'M HERE AGAIN AGAINST MY WILL AND IT'S FOR MY OWN GOOD. ACTUALLY, THE LONGER I'm here, the worse I'm going to get. >> From insisting she needed to go to the hospital to screaming she'd been brought there against her will. Elizabeth's grip on reality unraveled completely. >> All you got to do is GIVE ME THE SLIPPY SLIPPY AGAIN. PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. >> NO, >> MAN. I'M GOING have to relax. Seriously, please. >> Get the doctor. >> Oh, he's on the way. >> Did I stutter? >> No. >> Didn't think so. >> I told you he's on the way. >> YOU LIKE MY BUDDIES, SIR? >> THERE YOU GO. Thank you. >> Great. >> I don't know. >> Hey, what's the doctor? >> Huh? Any of you know? ANYBODY? CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? [screaming] NO, >> they make these beds so good nowadays. >> Okay. All right. I don't know. >> Think I can >> swing your leg. >> Swing your leg over the bed. There you go. >> No matter [snorts] how hard she tried, Elizabeth realized no one was responding to her outbursts. To get any reaction, she would have to escalate further, push boundaries harder, [music] do anything that would break through the wall of control surrounding her. And so she did. >> She's going to do something. >> All right. >> She's eating her rings. >> She eating her rings. >> Yeah, she's eating her rings. >> Spit it out. Spit spit it out. >> Spit your ring out. >> Spit spit your rings out. ring. >> Spit it out. >> Spit your rings out. Spit your rings out. >> Spit your out. [screaming] >> Are you done? >> Are you done? >> RELAX. [screaming] >> Can I get that ring first? >> Let me get that ring. No, you can't have it. It's mine. >> Get out of your ring. >> Spit it out. >> Don't touch me. >> Get out of Relax. She's going to get it out. >> I'm working on it. >> All right. >> Was this all a ploy to secure immediate medical attention? Dodge arrest? Or was it to simply manufacture drama? Whatever the reason, one thing was clear. Reality wasn't bending to her will. >> Can you get your crotch off me, sir? >> No. >> Yeah. >> Give that to you. >> Don't start punching. >> NO. >> NO. YOU GOT THIS. >> Take your OFF ME, YOU FREAK. >> YEAH. Hold your legs. >> Hold her arms. Happy. Stop >> hurting me. PLEASE STOP HURTING ME, SIR. >> STOP MOVING AROUND. >> STOP MOVING. >> Lay down and take a like take a second. Take a COUPLE BREATHS. >> STOP HURTING ME. >> We're not hurting. >> Yes, you are. I'm in pain. >> Yes. Okay. >> Give me your rings, please. >> No. >> Yes. >> No. >> Give me your rings. >> No. >> Elizabeth refused to let go. Her energy was wild, unyielding, impossible to contain. Finally, a nurse stepped in, attempting to remove them, bracing for the resistance she knew was coming. >> Hold her down. >> Do the index finger first, >> Elizabeth? >> Yeah. What's up? >> I need you, girl. >> I need you to take a couple breaths. >> I got you, >> Elizabeth. I need you to take a couple breaths. >> I'M TRYING. I'M SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE. >> But you're not helping the situation. >> Drop that bracelet off of her. >> Hold my >> Thanks. I needed I need someone to hold my hand. >> That's really all I needed. >> MY MOTHER MADE THIS. >> OKAY. WELL, then we're going to You're going to break it if you keep holding it. We're taking those off you want to break. Do you want it to break or do you want it in? Just let it go. >> We're going to give it back. >> Can you get those little touching me? [laughter] >> The officers managed to wrestle a few rings from her grasp, but Elizabeth's relentless movement made control nearly impossible. All options had been exhausted, leaving them with a single final measure. One they had hoped to avoid, but now had no choice but to [music] use. >> Can you put her in? >> We have to wait for the doctor. >> Oh, please do. Please let me in. me up. Please >> let them take those bracelets off. Elizabeth, >> Elizabeth, let them take them off. >> PLEASE STOP HURTING ME. >> OKAY, THEN take a couple breaths and stop moving around and they they'll stop touching you. But you GOT YOU GOT BREATHE. >> OKAY. >> Breathing >> in your nose, out your mouth. Come on. I know. >> You know, if people stopped touching me, I would be able to breathe a little easier. >> You can't because you're moving around. You are hurting me. [laughter] >> You're hurting me, too. >> Hold on to >> then stop. Then stop. >> I'm not even grabbing. >> But my wrist very [laughter] >> Elizabeth, you have to stop restraining them. >> They're resisting. >> Before applying restraints, which had now become unavoidable, a doctor's evaluation was required. Elizabeth's actions were causing harm mostly to herself, though she seemed blind to it. Every attempt to intervene only fed her escalation, pushing the situation further [music] out of control. >> I just want to go and I JUST WANT TO TAKE a >> Please, CAN I TAKE A IN PRIVACY? >> We have TO DO A STRIP SEARCH FIRST. [screaming] [laughter] YAY. Sleepy sleepy. I wonder how long I CAN FIGHT IT THIS TIME. I WONDER IF I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE THE WHOLE TIME. THIS time that'll be fun. >> You're lucky you're a nice guy or I'd be fighting your whole >> Thank you. I appreciate it. Can people please let go? Is this coming up? >> I'm not trying to scratch anybody. >> No, I'm not. Okay. If you let go, I'll stop moving entirely. Okay, I'll myself. [laughter] >> Is it okay if I wipe my tears away, sir? Is that okay with you? >> No. Go, go, [laughter] go. >> Hey, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GLASSES? I'd love to be able to see. >> Can I [clears throat] please see? [laughter] >> I don't know where your glasses are, man. >> He just said they're right over here. >> [laughter] >> Elizabeth's pain was unmistakable now. For a moment, even the security team felt a flicker of sympathy, but letting her go wasn't an option. By this point, regaining calm was no longer possible. It had to be taken by force. >> Um, yeah, we uh >> can I please talk to my doctor or my mommy? or my daddy. What about the boys? The reason I'm here. What about him? >> Or strength. >> YAY. LET'S DO IT. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. YEAH. LET'S DO IT. >> I'M TRYING. >> YEAH. GOOD LUCK. >> All right, man. >> More. >> More. >> Yo, do me a favor. Can you put that down? Put that down. Put this back. >> Try to get that right leg. If you do that, sir, >> that's fine. I'm not going to be laying on your anywhere near your clothes. >> Elizabeth, come on. >> Elizabeth. >> Restraint seemed impossible while Elizabeth thrashed relentlessly. Even the earlier injection had little effect. Her body surged with adrenaline. Her energy fueled by the chaos she'd created. Every movement made the process harder. And in fighting the officers, >> you make this horse yourself, sir. >> Cuz you're a dude and you're still touching me. That's so cool. [laughter] It's for your own good. Please face all OF YOUR FEARS ALL AT ONCE. [laughter] >> All at once. Please. My wrists are so bro. JUST TAKE THE METAL ONE OFF, PLEASE. IT spurts a little. Yeah. Give me the nice cushy cushy crazy person ones. Oh, will you put me in the the the the wrappy round ones so at least I can hug me. Come on. No one hugs me enough anymore. [laughter] >> Cuz I'm such a or whatever. >> I just hate when people mistreat me. Such a >> Elizabeth's actions were a dangerous mix of defiance, self-destruction, and calculated manipulation. Officers followed protocol at every turn. Yet, [music] even that couldn't prevent the chaos she created. It was a stark reminder of how unpredictable human behavior can be and how quickly control can slip through even the most trained hands. So, the question remains, when someone teeters on the edge between reality and chaos, what would you do if you were in their shoes? >> Hey, can I go to the bathroom now that I'm heavily strapped down? I'm sure that's the next stop, right? Or do you guys all want to watch me out? So, [laughter] >> that's what I thought I could take any more pain. [laughter] Ow. >> It's easier if you just relax. >> It hurts. What the do you want me to do, Grandon Barrett? I can't do that anymore. >> You're fighting it. >> Of course I am. This Yeah, you just lay here and like let him do whatever. That's not smart of you. >> MY WRIST HURTS. >> UH, complaint should be done. Once Elizabeth finally calmed and received a full evaluation at the hospital, she was transported to the police station. [music] In the end, the charges were clear. Obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. What do you have to say about this Karen's behavior? Could the officers have handled the situation differently?
