We'll observe and take pictures of the the blood stuff here. You all right? Is your child okay? He was hitting me with him in my arm. I'm not sure if he hit him. >> Okay. Do you mind if I check real quick? Okay. Do you have any other marks? Yeah. Would one of you be able to like move him over, not right this second, but just so I can make sure he doesn't have any injuries? Mhm. Are you going to do that? I don't want to wake him up. Do you have a gray Jeep or is he have a gray one? >> black. Is it yours or his? >> Mine and it's got the grill thing on the front of it. >> Is it still at your house?

No, he has a key, so he didn't break in, but I had to break out to get away from him. So. So, she just has some minor like bruises and cuts and stuff. Okay. Uh do you want to go to the hospital? Okay. As far as far as injuries go from a legal perspective, if you don't go to the hospital, nothing's going to change anything. Okay. You already have the injuries. Charges already going to be signed whether you want them to be signed or not. In Ohio, it's called preferred arrest. So, if you have injuries, we have to pick up even if you don't want to do it. Okay. Um so, there'll be a warrant out for him if we don't get him tonight. Okay. Uh but we have officers going to check in. So, if you want to go in the morning when it's more convenient for you, that's perfectly fine. Okay. Okay. Yeah, so he knows the law, the legal part of it way better than I do. But, I can tell you uh I'm just going to ask you a couple real quick questions just to make sure I got a better understanding for what what happened. Um So, you were hit in the head. Mhm. Did you So, did you lose consciousness? I started shaking in my right hand. I was in total Okay, but by and large, you remember everything that happened? Yeah, I remember it. Are there any blackout periods or anything like that? No. Okay. Did you see stars or anything when he hit your head? Okay. It was ringing. Okay, was it just the one I I I don't want you to misinterpret the just, all right? I'm not I'm not saying this uh Did you only Were you only slammed on the ground the one time? Um he slammed me on the ground downstairs and then kept knocking me into the wall upstairs. Okay. Um are you actively having any pain in your spine or anything? >> Yes. Yeah, neck is stiff. Yeah. Okay. So, while within your rights to refuse, I'm just obligated to let you know there's an implicit risk to refusing. Like the officer said, it's not going to hinder anything legally if he waits to go in the morning. Okay. So, if that's what you choose, I'll I would just prefer that we take some vitals real quick. Okay. Uh I'll have you sign a form saying you don't want to go to the hospital and then get out of here. That way so you can start the uh uh legal side of stuff, all right? Okay. Now, he broke my ring cameras off the house. I see you still have one on there. Did he actually break it? >> Basically broke the one on the inside. You have one on the outside. Do you have access to it? Yeah, but I don't have my phone. He broke my phone. He broke your phone. Okay. Did he break your phone in the process of you calling 911? >> Yes, I was saying "Hasten call 911." Okay. Um He had my phone and wouldn't give it to me. Okay. And all of this happened inside of the house? >> Inside the house, but they have a ring camera as well when he was outside hitting me. Okay. That we're probably going to have our crime scene here come out of here, but I'm going to make some phone calls and see if they want to do that. You can go get your vitals with them while I work on that and I'll come back and talk to you when I get there. What real quick, what prompted him to come over in the first place? Um he has a key and he's very controlling and I told him all day, like the last few days that I'm just done and he said he he would before I was done. Like I I was going to leave him. So, so he thought you were leaving him and >> got he hopped in the back of my car and um While you were in the car? >> driving to back out and he pulled me from my hair out of the car. So, how did it end up getting inside the house? >> He dragged us in the I was holding my son and he dragged us in the house. I was screaming out here and I was hoping that someone would already have called and he dragged us in the house. Okay. So, you Did he open the door uh through the key or Yeah, no. I came out the front door running and to get in my car to leave and he came I don't even know where he came from, but he hopped in the back of my truck and was pulling >> So, your door was kind of already open and he just dragged you back inside. >> So, then how did the window play? So, for he was already hit he locked me in my bedroom, took my phone so I couldn't call, was yelling "Hasten call 911." And he took my gun out of my like dresser. And then I just did what he said.
