But you know he's gonna have to.

No. (Unintelligible.)

Please.

We have to.

We're going to, I guess, a (unintelligible) or whatever. I don't know. I got something out of here with no shirt, no shoes, or whatever.

And then you (unintelligible), right?

Yes.

And what did he say?

The judge was like --

Was that a female or male?

Female.

Female? Okay.

Yes.

And you don't know what she said?

AUDIO RECORDING: It was bad.

Yes. My head hurts. I got (unintelligible).

No.

Stop. Stop. (Unintelligible.) Did you get any form of paperwork?

I got paperwork, but I didn't get (unintelligible). Um, paperwork was, um, X, X, X, X, X, X.

And what does it say?

Um, no (unintelligible).

With who?

What?

With who?

With her, but she never said anything like that. It was just the judge that put it.

The judge is the one who had it, right?

Is it?

Did she?

I believe so. She's (unintelligible).

Is she above her?

She's a judge. She's the law, okay?

(Unintelligible) is Brian your guy here?

Okay. So this is the deal, man. Your paperwork says that you can't have any contact whatsoever with her, okay? And if you do, it's a new charge, okay?

No.

SO --

I like contact with him.

Have you -- has she been drinking today?

Yeah.

Have you been drinking?

Yeah.

Okay. How long have you been here since?

I'm gonna be honest. You guys came here -- she called me --

We know because we went to your work, employment and they told -- and then they --

Yes.

Okay. Stand up. Stand up. (Unintelligible.)

Okay. Just put it out real quick.

All right.

Wait. No. Why?

Relax, relax, relax, okay? (Unintelligible) get him all riled up.

Why? (Unintelligible.)

(Unintelligible) promise you that.

(Unintelligible) earlier.

Well, that was earlier. This is a (unintelligible), okay?

I didn't call.

I didn't say you called.

See, I told you.

But you did -- did you call him earlier?

AUDIO RECORDING: Because he just told us, and we know. His work told us.

I told you. Wait, is there anything I can do?

Wait here. You can stay right there.

No. Is there anything that (unintelligible)?

No, no. Ma'am, you know he has a no contact order by the judge. He can't be here.

AUDIO RECORDING: Did you (unintelligible) ?

Nah, we don't. We don't. We don't. We have our information already. So here's what's gonna happen, bud. You're gonna take a ride downtown, and because it's almost 2:00 in the afternoon, you're gonna see a judge tomorrow morning. (Unintelligible) might be the same judge that did the no contact order, okay? Listen, from here on out, bud, until that case is resolved, you cannot come here, okay, or have contact with her, even if she invites you, okay? She called earlier and she told us what happened. You guys had a no contact order, okay? She (unintelligible), but we told her because it's domestic (unintelligible), okay? So -- all right, bud? Just make sure he's got nothing on him.

I know him.

Yeah, you don't have anything on you, right, bud?

No.

(Unintelligible) cordial as can be.

Okay. We promise (unintelligible).

AUDIO RECORDING: Jorge, I'll do whatever I can.

I love you, babe. (Unintelligible) hear me?

Jorge?

I love you. Call (unintelligible).

Okay. (Unintelligible.)

Sarah? Sarah, call (unintelligible). (Unintelligible). I'll make (unintelligible) go over there and do it. Babe, (unintelligible) a hug.

No, no, no, no.

Jorge?

Tt's all right, babe.

AUDIO RECORDING: I don't know it. I don't know it. She know, Sarah.

What's the charges against him?

So it's a domestic battery charge you got entered last week or whatever it was. He was given a no contact order by the judge, okay? Whether she invites him or not --

I know.

AUDIO RECORDING: What do you want me to do?

Call (unintelligible).

Yeah, when he gets in.

AUDIO RECORDING: If you have a piece of paper real quick and you give it to me, I'll give it to him.

You don't know your (unintelligible).

She has it.

If you get it real quick, we'll give it to him.

Can I get his mother's number and

AUDIO RECORDING: Oh, I have been here.

Yeah. I thought you looked familiar.

Because the last time I was here, you guys got in a fight (unintelligible).

No.

Oh, he came home from a bar. Someone came home from a bar. Hey, Jose.

No problem. (Unintelligible). Okay. Come on, Jorge, off the couch.

No, no, no. You gotta stay down here.

Okay, okay, okay.

I know you think this is --

No, no, no, no.

AUDIO RECORDING: Sarah, are you serious right now?

Yeah. I'm done with being punched in the neck.

Are you kidding me?

Told you I will not hesitate.

Oh, (unintelligible) your shoes from last time.

Ma'am, can you get your ID for me?

Yes.

Are you serious right now? What the fuck?

(Unintelligible) wallet on you or a cell phone?

AUDIO RECORDING: Are you kidding me? Sarah, are you kidding me?

You punched me in the face again.

Sarah, are you serious?

AUDIO RECORDING: Yeah, you can. I'll be right back with you.

Jorge, we're gonna just talk down here.

Okay. What the fuck, man?

Can you grab the paperwork?

Yeah, yeah.

AUDIO RECORDING: You sure you don't want me to watch him?

You can, if you want. That'll work too.

She's the one that hit me and I'm the one that gets locked up.

(Unintelligible) just getting down to the bottom of it, okay?

All right. Jorge, I want to talk to you. I want to ask you some questions. Now that you're in handcuffs, I've got to read you something real quick, Okay? You understand?

Yes.

All right. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used in court as evidence against you. You are entitled to talk to an attorney now, have him present now, or at any time during the questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you without cost. Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?

Yes.

Okay. At any point here after you wish to remain silent and have an attorney present, all questioning will stop. Do you understand that? So even if you want to talk to me in person and you change your mind, just let me know, okay? All right. Has anyone at any time threatened, coerced, or promised you anything in order to induce you to make a statement? Have I promised you anything? Have I bribed you? Have I said, Hey, if you tell me -- give me a statement -- has any of that happened?

No, sir.

No? Okay. Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?

Yeah.

All right. So what were you two fighting about tonight?

We weren't fighting at all.

Okay. And (unintelligible).

Take that and (unintelligible).

Huh?

I'll get it.

Okay. Let me -- I'll take (unintelligible) and get the statement done.

With him?

Huh?

With him?

No. For her.

Oh.

That way you can fill this out while you're (unintelligible) with him.

Sarah, Sarah?

T'll get her information from her. Okay. Listen. (Unintelligible.) What happened?

AUDIO RECORDING: I didn't (unintelligible).

Okay. Can you explain the bruises she has? Those don't come from nowhere. I want your version of what happened. (Unintelligible.) Okay. So you did hit her?

AUDIO RECORDING: (Unintelligible) bruises happened (unintelligible). Okay. So you hit her in the face and argue (unintelligible) away from you? Okay. (Unintelligible.) You keep saying that you get hit all the time, but you're not (unintelligible). How did the bruising happen to her? (Unintelligible.) Tell me. You just said it wasn't (unintelligible), so did she get bruised from (unintelligible) ?

Sarah?

AUDIO RECORDING: No. You stay there. I know and (unintelligible). What happened?

An hour ago via text message (unintelligible).

Sorry about that. Do you have anything on you? (Unintelligible.) Okay. (Unintelligible.)

Sarah?

Stop calling for her. She's not allowed to come down here.

I know, but --

It's not going to change things.

I know (unintelligible).

(Unintelligible) battery and when I try to get the story, you don't want to give it to me.

I'm setting it straight.

(Unintelligible) I've tried. And now that you're going in the back of the car (unintelligible). It doesn't work that way.

Okay.

I've been nothing but polite to you, trying to talk to you, trying to get straight answers.

Okay.

And you're beating around the bush.

I'm not.

Yes, ma'am. You do not start kicking and banging on things, okay?

Sarah, what's your phone number?

AUDIO RECORDING: What? What's your phone number?

You know my phone number.

I don't know your phone number. Sarah, what's your phone number?

Tt's not him asking. It's us.

AUDIO RECORDING: Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Can you guys (unintelligible), please?

Okay.

Please.

AUDIO RECORDING: 911. What is the location of your emergency?

It's not technically an emergency. Just I (unintelligible). I'm not there, but I'm just trying to go home.

What is the address?

4748 Frantz Court.

What was the street name, Brants Court?

Frantz. F, as in Frank, r-a-n-t-z, as in zebra.

Oh. Is it Frantz Lane?

I don't know if he's there or not. I'm sorry?

Ma'am, is it Frantz Lane?

(Unintelligible) it's Frantz Court, but it always comes up as Frantz Lane.

Okay. What exactly is going on?

I would like to go home, but I can't go home because he's there.

Okay. Do you have some sort of restraining order against him or...

He has a no contact.

Is there an apartment number?

Three.

One second. I'm at my former husband's house right now because I can't go home. I don't even know if he's there or not. He was there earlier, but I can't go home.

Okay. So do you want us to do a standby with you?

What do you mean?

Like, escort you to the residence or

AUDIO RECORDING: I -- if I could, please, can you guys go over there and just see if he's there? I'm pretty sure -- he locked me out earlier, so I think he's probably there still. I'm not going over there with him there. I'm not.

Okay. Does he live there?

No.

Okay. So how -- how is he inside the residence, then?

He has a key that he took.

Okay. So is he breaking into the apartment?

He's not breaking -- he's already in the apartment. As far as I know -- I don't know, like, if he's there or not. He knows where I hide my key.

Okay. What we can do is we can meet you a block away from the residence and go with you to the residence. (Unintelligible.) I tried calling him to ask him to leave, if he's not already, so -- I have my 8-year-old that I'm trying to watch out for, so -- right now, so I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I just want to go home.

Okay. If you want to go home and you're not sure if he's there or not, we can meet you when you're about five minutes, a block away and go with you to make sure he's not there.

Okay. Well -- okay. Um, I'm about to, to be honest with you, kicked out of my apartment because you guys get called so often and my (unintelligible) and the neighbors complain about everything. Just -- I'm trying to avoid that. I just want to go home.

Okay. Regardless, the deputies are going to go to the apartment, whether it's with you, what I'm suggesting you do, or what you want to do, just have them go to the apartment. So, regardless, people are going to see that there's deputies going to that address.

When I -- when I called you guys, like, a couple of days ago and they didn't make, like, not a ruckus, but, like, they made it, like, incognito, which is what I need, because I'm gonna get kicked out of my place.

Okay. When we --

I can't.

When we do a standby, ma'am, all we're going to do is accompany you to the address and the deputy can make sure that he's not there and then they will leave. If that's all that's going on in this situation right now that you're calling for, it's not gonna be, like, a big deal.

And what happens if he is there?

If he is there and you don't want him there, you can have him trespassed. They're going to make sure he did leave. I mean, if he does not live there, like you say, if he should not be in there, you can trespass him. You already have a no contact order with him. They will remove him.

Okay. Well, there was an altercation earlier. And I'll be honest with you, there was an altercation earlier. So that's when he came in, the altercation happened, so that's when I left. I fled barefoot. Now I'm at my former husband's house.

Okay. Would you like the officers to meet you where you're at right now and --

I -- I don't want to get arrested. I -- I don't, because I fought for myself and I have my 8-year-old and I just want to go home and sleep in my own bed right now, but I did fight back. I'm not gonna lie, SO...

Okay. Well, I mean, if you're wanting us to meet with you or go see your house, I mean, I don't know what they're going to do, if they are going to arrest anyone, arrest you, arrest him. That's all up to the deputy and what he concludes from the situation that's going on, so it's -- like, right now, it's just up to what you want to do right now. If you want to doa standby and we'll accompany you to the residence. I mean, it's really just --

(Unintelligible) I know, I know. I know. TI just -- I have (unintelligible) tomorrow. I just --

Or what I can do is I can have the deputy call you about the matter, if you want to speak to a deputy directly and if you want to do that first before having us respond out there.

Yes, please.

Okay. What's your name?

Sarah.

Hold on a second, Sarah.

Thank you for your help.

Not a problem.

(Unintelligible) more ways than one.

And is a good phone number for you (407) 716-8684?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. I'm going to set up a call for a deputy to call you over the phone so you can talk to them directly and see what they say about the situation. And when they call you, it'll be from a blocked or restricted number. So if you get a call like that, just make sure you answer. That's going to be the deputy, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

All right. If anything changes or you decide you just want to (unintelligible), give us a call back, Okay?

Yes. And what was your name?

My name is Rachel.

Rachel, thank you so much for your help and I've got (unintelligible).

Okay. Perfect. Bye-bye.

Thank you. Bye.

AUDIO RECORDING: No, I can't.

Is there a back or a sliding door?

Yes. (Unintelligible.) Well, I thought that was open for a second.

Yeah, looks like it.

Locked. (Unintelligible.)

Locked in the back.

Locked the back too.

Yeah, the back is locked. (Unintelligible) you want to call your ex-husband?

You got a phone?

My phone is dying.

Okay.

There's a charger (unintelligible).

AUDIO RECORDING: Excuse me? That's not to say he's not in there just because the doors are locked.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You think he's inside?

Yes.

Okay. Well, we need a key so I can get inside to see if he's inside (unintelligible).

If your phone is going to die, there's a charger on the -- on the backside of the porch.

Oh, yeah. Hey, he's in the house, he's not coming to the door, but do you have my spare key? I can't get in. If you could -- there's no other way of getting in my house. Unfortunately, can you please bring me my spare key? Yes, please. The front door and back door, I have no way of getting in.

Where's he live at, ma'am?

I'm sorry?

You -- you said that's your ex?

Yeah, that's my ex-husband (unintelligible).

Oh, perfect. Okay.

He'll be here in, like, two minutes.

Perfect. Thank you so much.

No. Thank you.

This is your -- this is your -- who do you think is here, your ex-boyfriend; is that correct?

This is my place.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. Your boyfriend or ex-boyfriend?

AUDIO RECORDING: No, no.

He was arrested last week for (unintelligible).

You guys want to come take a picture right here? You can see that (unintelligible).

AUDIO RECORDING: Here. Look. That's why I called you. (Unintelligible) I was sleeping (unintelligible).

How much have you had to drink tonight?

Who in God knows.

How much have you had to drink tonight?

Two drinks, and that was, what, four hours ago.

So what's the layout of the house? Is it one floor?

Tt's two. Tt's this part here. (Unintelligible) these two windows right here.

What kind of vehicle does he drive?

He doesn't drive. He has a bike that I bought for him.

I see a little bit of movement on the blinds

AUDIO RECORDING: (Unintelligible) my dog. She's (unintelligible) blind dog and a deaf dog.

Oh, got you.

So I have a feeling it's probably Tess.

Got you.

She's the deaf one.

Does he have anywhere else to go or is this the only place he has?

His parents' house is right here.

Where is that at?

80-30-15 [sic] Baja Boulevard. Tt's down the street next to where (unintelligible).

Oh, got you.

Can I tell you something now?

Sure.

If both doors are locked, he has to be in there.

Why is that? He can't lock it from the outside?

No.

Doesn't he have a key for here, though?

Unless he took my spare key, which I'm pretty sure he probably did, there's -- he has to be in there, especially with the back door.

Is the spare key -- was the spare key in the -- in the house?

No. I hid it outside because he locks me out all the time. So I'm gonna say (unintelligible). If both doors are locked, he has to be in there. Thank you. You-all can have (unintelligible). You-all open the door.

All right. You're gonna stay outside until we make sure there's nobody inside. (Unintelligible). Thank you so much.

Hang out here.

I am. I'm not going anywhere. There's no weapons.

AUDIO RECORDING: Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Can we get (unintelligible) for a building search?

AUDIO RECORDING: Yeah.

You guys don't have to do that.

Ma'am, we have a way to do things.

Okay.

Let us do our thing, okay?

I'll hold the door.

Sheriff's office. If you're in here, come on out. (Unintelligible.) Sheriff's office. If you're in there, come on out.

We've got a dog.

Jorge. Hey, puppy. (Unintelligible.)

Yeah. You got a ton of plants on the right side.

When you get to the stairwell, just poke your (unintelligible) or don't (unintelligible).

Jorge, Police. If you're up there, let us know because we're coming up anyways.

Okay. Just get (unintelligible) for me. (Unintelligible.) Jorge?

I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

It's okay. Come out with your hands up.

I am.

Jorge, step out with your hands up.

Okay.

Put your hands -- put your hands behind your head. (Unintelligible.) What the heck?

Hey, turn around. Face away from me. Turn around. Walk back to me. Walk back, walk back. (Unintelligible.) Huh?

AUDIO RECORDING: (Unintelligible) didn't hear (unintelligible) sitting in the bathroom.

I was just...

Just what? All right. (Unintelligible.)

Hey, guys, can I (unintelligible) ?

Hang on. Hang on. We're not doing (unintelligible) right here.

Okay. Okay.

All right. Let me ask you a question.

Yeah.

What happened today? You got a light in here?

Yeah.

You just gotta pull the thing?

Yeah.

What happened?

I don't even know what the heck happened.

There's a reason you're hiding, so don't act like we're not up here for no reason.

No, I know that. I'm hiding in the bathroom because we had a discussion, and as usual -- and I am in the wrong.

Okay. Why?

I am --

What happened?

I am with the -- what is it called? Fuck. It's called --

AUDIO RECORDING: No.

How long you been here? How many days since you got released? When did you get released? Because you were arrested last week, right?

Yeah.

When did you get out?

Three days ago or something like that.

It was on the weekend?

Yeah.

Because today is Wednesday or was it Monday or was it -- (unintelligible) ?

A weekend.

Okay. After that, did you -- did you guys talk and come back here and --

Yeah.

This weekend?

Yeah.

And everything was fine (unintelligible)?

Yes.

So tonight, what happened then?

I don't know what happened tonight.

Jorge, there's three cops standing in front of you. You're hiding in the bathroom. It's not for no reason, right?

Wifey is nuts and she always freakin' starts the -- and she (unintelligible).

(Unintelligible) tell me what happened.

She puts it on me.

Okay. She puts it on you?

All the time.

But you're not -- none of that gives me any insight as to what happened tonight.

Nothing happened.

(Unintelligible) very vague. She's very vague. You're very vague. I need more than vague.

What is she being vague about?

I can't -- I can't discuss until you discuss with me, right?

We just want to hear your side of things, bud.

Everybody wants to hear my side.

Yeah.

AUDIO RECORDING: (unintelligible) because this isn't the first incident between you two.

Well, I know that.

She's been arrested as well, hasn't she?

Yes.

Okay. So tell me what happened. You-all drinking?

Yes.

Both of you?

Yes.

Okay. I can smell alcohol on her, so I know that's -- I already knew that, obviously, but...

We've been going through a lot. Right now, I work at Ace right here across the street. We've been going through a lot and they're about to shut down and whatnot.

At Ace?

Yeah. Just (unintelligible).

AUDIO RECORDING: Can I please have some water?

There's a -- you can't (unintelligible)? You can't come in here for right now, all right? You're gonna have to wait. Give us a couple minutes.

AUDIO RECORDING: No, sir.

So did she injure you today? Did she hurt you, other than maybe emotionally or whatever?

No.

Any physical injuries? No?

I'm the one. I'm always the one.

AUDIO RECORDING: I'm always the one.

But you're the only one saying that. Nobody here is saying that. But if you don't help me, how can I help you? If you don't tell me what happened, how can I help you?

That's my woman.

Okay. Sometimes that's what it is. Is that as much as you want to give me?

What'd she say to you?

(Unintelligible) I can't tell you that. If you're not going to tell me (unintelligible). I can't feed you information.

(Unintelligible) about that, so...

AUDIO RECORDING: Why?

Why not?

Would you call? Would you call?

T've never been in that position, so I can't say.

Yeah, because you're a beefcake.

It ain't like that. (Unintelligible) some crazy, SO...

I am -- when am -- when am I gonna see -- I'm actually wrong right now.

You're in the wrong right now?

Yes.

You're saying you're in the wrong

AUDIO RECORDING: No way, Shape, or form.

Hold on.

You know that I --

And I can respect the responsibility because most guys won't take the responsibility.

You're gonna take me in no matter what.

Well, that (unintelligible). I take girls to jail all the time (unintelligible) all the time.

No. You're gonna take me in because I did the -- the no contact.

Oh.

Do you know what the no contact said?

Yeah. I'm fucked.

What'd it say?

I am fucked.

What are you not supposed to do?

Oh. You're the one that took me to jail last time

AUDIO RECORDING: I think it was (unintelligible).

It wasn't me. I don't work this time.

They're not -- they're a little similar

AUDIO RECORDING: Our hairstyle is the same.

Yeah. Yeah, it's not the same guy. I promise you.

(Unintelligible) I would remember you, but it's not me, but what does a no contact order tell you? What'd the judge tell you?

(Unintelligible) contact with her at all.

What about in relation to this place, are you allowed to come back?

Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no.

(Unintelligible) you just have no place to go?

No. I have other places to go, but...

Your mom's place?

Yeah.

They still live over there by the Twistee Treat?

Yeah.

I do my homework.

Before you guys take me, can I get at least some shoes on me?

What kind of shoes you want? You want some (unintelligible) ones, some slide ones?

Like, those -- not (unintelligible) ones.

AUDIO RECORDING: Get the blue ones, please.

Yes.

What shirt you want?

You want socks?

You got a wallet, phone?

My phone is downstairs.

Okay. Please step up right for me, please. I just gotta get (unintelligible).

Oh, Okay.

AUDIO RECORDING: Yeah. No. It's okay. Just a quick question. He's -- he's -- he's asking about his phone. Do you know where that'd be?

No. I don't know where his phone is.

Okay. You don't have it in your vehicle or anything?

I do not.

Okay. (Unintelligible.) Wait. I need my car keys.

Okay. They're not on him. They're inside the house somewhere.

You've seen them?

I don't -- I haven't seen them, but they're in there somewhere.

Okay.

They're not on him because I had to search him before he got in the vehicle.

Can you please ask -- ask him where they are, please?

Okay.

I only have one set.

Okay. But you don't know where his phone is? Hold on. She's asking about -- she's asking about her car keys. She said he has them. She asked where they are.

He doesn't have nothing in his pockets, so...

Okay. Where is she?

She's behind the vehicle.

Okay. (Unintelligible.)

AUDIO RECORDING: You say what?

You want me to shine the light on anything closer?

Nah (unintelligible).

Okay.

Yeah. No. Absolutely.

They're gonna be coming this way, so don't --
