[Music]
hi
Alexandra hi how's it going I just got
to have a couple of words with you real
quick okay sure okay so here's the
situation Okay
so yesterday you had an incident in air
correct right okay so due to that there
are charges for a battery that place
against you okay against me against you
okay so well I'm going to have to do is
I'm going to have to place you under ARR
for battery that being said I will be
more than happy to read your Miranda
Rights now before I do any other further
questionss are you good with discussing
this in front of your husband of course
okay all okay you're trying to arrest me
so the person that you made contact with
yesterday did you know what he did me
watch I watched the video cuz there's
videos of it okay right there's videos
of it and then we also have video
footage of the female manager who had
video recording inside the paner okay so
per their manager and per the video that
we watched okay it shows you as the
initial aggressor okay I didn't do
anything I I I just he he just just you
know steep in front of me and I said
well I I I don't like what you're
wearing okay so
again we have more than we we'll be
going back to the PD and I will have
more than we'll have a further
discussion on it okay
but if you don't want to speak further I
can read you Miranda rights now and then
we can do it again at the PD if you
don't want to give any further saying on
it now that's fine
but can you can you say what what
actually happened or what the video
shows so the video shows an altercation
between your wife and a male party who
is in between his wife who was recording
your wife due to her actions that
happened at the paner no her her wife
was was was recording recording yes so
so I said stop recording because I'm
talking to him I didn't her I didn't
didn't have end I didn't you attempt did
you attempt to grab the phone yes okay
so she's allowed to record you it's a
public area it's as unfortunate as it is
you're allowed to record people in a
public area okay so you can't be
grabbing people's phones okay I didn't I
understand okay so again just for the
sake of everything right now I'm going
to read you I'm going to read you your
Miranda Rights okay after that we are
going to be placing you under arrest for
battery okay what what do you mean we're
going to be placing you under arrest for
battery what does this mean okay so in
the state of Illinois a battery is
anything no no what means D I'm I'm
going to go be transporting we'll be
transporting to the DB Police Department
we will be Ved and processed okay that
doesn't mean that you're going to jail
okay but it does does mean that we do
have to take you back to the police
department we have to go through the
procedures that we have okay and then
State's attorney will decide what
happens next okay so just I'm just right
off the bat you have the right to remain
silent any statement you make can be
used against you in the court of law you
have the right to an attorney and to
have an attorney present without with
you during any questioning if you cannot
afford an attorney one will be appointed
to you represent you before any
questions uh you have the right to
terminate this interview at any time
okay do you understand the rights that
I've read to you
yes okay I just need an acknowledgement
on I understand that you're saying that
but do you understand the right no I I
really I I will so in L's terms terms
just in regards just in regards to this
in layman's terms okay you have the
right to an attorney okay you do not
have to give a statement okay and you
have a right to an attorney and that
attorney can be present with you when we
go back to the police department how do
I get
author you know I I never was in in the
in the problem with with the law so if
you do not have an attorney he you know
this guy attacked me and if you don't if
if she doesn't if you do not have an
attorney we can find an attorney for you
right now if you know of an attorney if
you would like well does she need one
that is up to her because you started
talking and you still didn't tell me
what exactly happened what does the
video show the video shows that your
wife attempts to take a phone from a
female the husband of that female gets
in between them because she does he does
not want her to be taking the phone at
that point he was between us he he was
all the time and I understand that
because he did not want you taking his
wife's phone okay there was a small
there was a small tussle because in the
video it shows you looking like you're
about to throw coffee but I didn't
correct okay okay the coffee was not
spilled on that person right however cof
was SP on me however however after you
had the tussle with the coffee you made
contact with the left side of his face
you swung at his you swung at his face
he he did because he threatened me did
she show you that he yes he he said I'm
going to hit you I'm going to hit you
I'm going to hit you you said several
times that you were going to hit him no
I'm going to hit you okay so again
that's essentially what happened she
made contact with the left side of his
face okay no I I I want to see that
video because I I was so nervous that I
I I just don't and that's fine you have
a right to see that video I'm just
telling you from what we've watched that
is what happened okay and the video and
the manager of the Panera who reviewed
their video footage informed me that you
were the one that started the
altercation between the
two okay so again my main question at
this point because I read you your
rights I want to make sure that you
understand okay here you know just for
sake of transparency I have the video
this is on social media this is on a
called Reddit okay so I'm going to this
is just from the beginning of what they
did the the phone I I I want to take the
phone see oh my God because he poured
coffee on
me what I to do but like I said I'm just
showing I'm just showing you you all
this just in the sake of full
transparency this is publicly available
on multiple social media great great
let's see what what they
did let people see what they did so so
he he he started it because he he P
coffee on me and and then I said okay
it's not worth it I'm not going to talk
with some
terrorist why would you call that person
a terrorist because he he threaten me so
so I see he pushed me again do do you
see that the keep kept pushing me I
understand but the problem is is this
whole incident was provocated by them
alleging that you and Parton my language
but this is what they claim you said
that you walked up to them and said [ __ ]
Palestine because they had the word
Palestine in the back of their Jack uh
their shirt that is what provocated this
that's what would make this you the
primary aggressor on this then I say
what why you making this political
statement you killing the Jew the point
the point being is is that's what
started they can say kill the Jews and
and we cannot I'm not agree or
disagreeing with that we are not taking
any political stance on anything that's
happening right now the only thing that
we are here to discuss is the battery
that occurred at Panera so you you you
you see that that he was he was pushing
he was pushing me all the time if he
would just let me go it it it would just
be over so
again I I freedom of speech right there
is freedom of speech in this country so
so they can say I can say and again I'm
not taking anything away from your civil
rights I'm not saying anything against
their civil rights the only thing that
we are here to discuss right now is the
battery and disorderly conduct that
occurred at pan Okay the reason I read
you Miranda rights is because if you do
are you going to arrest him that that is
my question because he he was he was
actually charging at me I I just said I
I can s what whatever I want but but he
was charging at me and he said yeah I'm
I'm going to hit you I'm going to hit
you I I felt threatened he he he he
terrorized me so what time did he say he
was going to hit you because if it was
during that video oh shoot I'm sure she
she she got rid of this I I was I was
wondering if that's why I so did that
occur prior to you pointing at them and
saying what you said or did it happen
after the fact in between after after um
you know at some point we were already
you know like like in in disagreement so
so I just you
know he I don't know exact moment but
but but I I I I know we were like in
um I think he I don't know if it was
before or or after he poured the coffee
on me but but but but he he threatened
me I I I swear I mean doesn't matter so
again I just want to clarify cuz I want
to make sure that it's for our purposes
and for the purposes further did you
understand what I
explained okay can you explain it to her
so that way she would understand
it well don't say anything anymore or he
read you the rights that you have the
right to the attorney and you don't have
to say anything whether you guilty or
not guilty you don't have to say
anything okay because they're going to
use everything against you Injustice
well it is Injustice obviously but
that's how they do stuff so so again
I've read you your Miranda Rights I will
do so again once we get back to the
police department okay at this time
though okay whatever belongings that you
do not want coming with you I suggest
you leave with your husband you'll then
have to place you under arrest and we'll
be taking you back to the police SP can
I go with her or you can go to the PD
you can't go with her in one of our
squads but you're more than welcome to
go to the station you would just have to
drive there yourself I can't we can't
take you in the squad oh I always wanted
to where is where is when is the police
station so it's at 850 Curtis in Downers
Grove do you know where downtown Downers
Grove is kind of best way to get there
is you're going to take Fair View
North okay and then you're going to take
a left tan turn onto Maple and you will
take Maple
until uh beld I'm freaking hungry I I I
need to drink something I mean it's it's
ridiculous I I can't and B will tea into
Curtis and you'll see our new bill
you'll see you'll see guys do you see
can she can she get ready of this you
guys can go inside the house it's not
like you need to surround the house have
notion like surrounding the house that's
why I said if there's anything that she
needs to leave with you
she's more than welcome to okay well I'm
going to go after you but unfortunately
at this point right now she's being
detained and eventually going to be
arrested so she cannot leave where we're
at that's my point she can go to the
bathroom that's why I said you guys
should go to the house wash says we get
to the station yes we have facilities at
the station that she is more than
welcome to use okay and if she is
thirsty we have water we'll provide her
with water if she would like a snack we
can provide her with a
snack we're not just going to let her go
to the PD and then let her star and be
de dehydrated we're going if she would
like water we can get her water if she
would like something to eat we can get
her a snack to
eat okay so that's what I'm saying if
there's anything that she doesn't want
brought there she can leave it with you
and then we will place her under arrest
we'll take her back to the police
department and then you can either you
can follow us to the police department
or you can meet us there this is this is
so I will I will follow since I can go
with you can I can I get dressed yes you
can you can get dressed unfortunately
your wife has to sit here I we will wait
until you get back why don't you your
husband your purse I mean you don't need
it I do need it okay that's fine if you
want to bring if you want to bring it
it's just like I said it's just if it's
extra stuff if you don't want she need
like ID and stuff because then you're
going to ask for ID and she won't have
ID so then you're going to say like oh
you have already have her identific if
if if you bring your purse with you we
have to search that entire purse in all
its contents so I'm just trying to help
with your privacy so if you don't want
us to go inside your purse you can bring
your wallet in your phone if you want
that's fine and then leave the rest ofcy
at the department if she brings a bag we
have to so so the people basically
copied the license plate that's how this
thing started I mean how did they know
her name and address and everything and
suddenly four cops show up here so we
were able to get her information
um via our computer okay but computer is
not so smart somebody had to input the
information in the computer so I'm
asking so a third party person a third
party person informed us of her
information course
okay let me let me go ahead and get
Chang Jo so what should I take just they
take the wallet take wallet so they
won't accuse you that you're walking
around without
ID exactly your guys really I mean don't
say anything don't say
anything see
my daughter is so sick and she lives in
Boston I I I I need to I need to talk to
her and phone call ridiculous will we
will allow you to make any phone call
you need to make at the police why don't
we just do it in front yeah that's fine
all right so ma'am we do have to put you
in handcuffs okay that is we will we
will not put you in the squad car until
your husband returns if that'll make you
feel more comfortable okay but for for
the purposes of this incident for did
you arrest him I I want to see him
arrested for for for what he did I still
coffee on on my I was looking at this my
my hair was wet but everything was W
face I but had you not had you not made
the comment that you made and kept on
going on with it because he he he if he
wouldn't react you know how many people
attack me okay because you have silly
accent or something so I I'm going to go
after
them I can't make any comment on that
man cuz I'm not in your shoes the only
thing that we can make comments on or
what we know and if what you're telling
me is the truth that if someone makes
fun of your comment you or your your
accent and you don't do anything about
it I applaud you for your restraint the
problem is is in this situation you were
the one who made the initial contact
between that couple and yourself by the
comment that you made and that devolved
the situation into where we're at
now
okay
oh I I know that you're doing your job
but but this is
crazy I look like like like a offender
or or something I I I just go after my
life people I mean there is there's so
much you know wrong going on in the
world and the the people who are really
attacking others and I I I just because
I I made some comment and and so and he
he reacted he actually reacted okay he
he he could
say I don't
know he he he he he just you
know I got unfortunately Ma just du to
the circumstances with this all right
because you have been because you have
been identified as the main aggressor in
this situation and you attempting to
grab his wife's phone out of his hand
for something that she's allowed to do
and I understand it's frustrating but he
is she is not I mean because I I knew if
if she she's going to probably delete
some parts of the video where where he
was the the you know aggressor and if
that's if that is the case then that
will be the State's Attorney's job to
figure that
out okay but off of what we have right
now this is what we have to do okay so
what we're going to
do so what we're going to do is to make
it more comfortable for you you I will
cuff you in front so it will not be
behind your back it will be in front
Okay so the other officer here will hold
on to your property okay and just put
your hands kind of like that yeah put
your stuff in your pocket we have to
hold on to it because we've had people
call and record with phones in the past
so we have to put the stuff in the front
of the car well so what's wrong if she's
recording is if she got recorded at
Panera and you're saying it's it's
perfectly legal so it's like double
standard now well we're actually
recording in the car itself but again
it's just our policy
thatu Mak into the front of the vehicle
or the rear of the vehicle not with the
person that's in the vehicle so not
going to go looking through any of this
I'm not going to try to unlock her phone
nothing like that she just going to go
right into the front seat of my partner
sit tight real quick cuz I'm going to
double lock this so they don't tighten
on you when you're sitting inside the
vehicle
okay I'm
sorry and we'll try to keep you as up to
date as we can but sometimes this is a
little bit of a hurry up and wait we
have to make phone calls to the you know
to the stfe attorney's office and then
they got to call us back and then
they're going to ask for information and
then we got to get that information so
I'm just
tell so we're going to go on the other
side of the vehicle
here oh my God go ahead and
move
horrible where's my I have it right here
right
here my we will allow you to talk to
your daughter as soon as we get to the
police department
okay this is so unjust and just so you
