[00:10:51]>> I never asked you to leave.

[00:10:53]>> I'm I'm going to leave.

[00:10:55]Do this and I'll leave you.

[00:11:02]But she is holding herself for the time being.

[00:11:05]>> And then you commentate for a long time.

[00:11:09]I go out there and you commentate for a long time because you yell at >> I'm going to talk about the front statement.

[00:11:26]That was at 7:12 in the morning.

[00:11:32]I don't need you.

[00:11:33]>> Okay. I think >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Good morning.

[00:11:51]>> Good morning.

[00:11:58]I'm going to ask you a question this morning.

[00:12:00]>> Yeah.

[00:12:03]Yeah.

[00:12:05]Yeah.

[00:12:06]Anybody else in the room here?

[00:12:08]>> No, no, no.

[00:12:24]>> [snorts] >> Damn.

[00:12:26]Yes, officer.

[00:12:27]There was an altercation in the room beside us.

[00:12:30]Somebody was yelling and crying and yelling.

[00:12:33]>> Mhm.

[00:12:34]>> And I called security so they could tell you this too violent cuz I was really worried.

[00:12:41]I was like, "Maybe they're not okay."

[00:12:43]>> [clears throat] >> And he said, "Yeah, call security right away."

[00:12:47]Cuz the person was acting silly.

[00:12:51]And then they came up.

[00:12:57]The person I don't know what they were doing in the room. They were also violent.

[00:13:02]Anyway, they were just fighting with themselves with beers, screaming, and yelling. I needed help for like 2 hours.

[00:13:10]And then he got mad.

[00:13:12]I think that I was caring about them.

[00:13:17]And so that was another thing about the money and then he left and when he came back he he took his phone out and he started trying to record me saying that or something I told you. He thought that I hired someone to do jumping in the street. Then he said something about I'll use you to get my papers like tell me about the drugs. Tell me about this.

[00:13:45]This will help quicken my I thought >> Mhm.

[00:13:50]>> I thought He didn't have to do that to me.

[00:13:55]What's the evidence? I don't know. To my knowledge he has to work.

[00:13:59]>> Charles pulled you out there.

[00:14:00]>> I don't know. There was someone recording trying >> Charles pulled you out there.

[00:14:06]>> stress me into saying something that would help him out.

[00:14:09]But I really don't think he did anything wrong.

[00:14:12]>> So this is here is just is you basically telling us what happened.

[00:14:16]Um and it just is on like physical paper.

[00:14:19]Just so that we can >> I can all write everything.

[00:14:22]>> You can well what you do what you can tell us is that that on today you was having car issues.

[00:14:30]Um he felt as if somebody you hired someone to bite him.

[00:14:34]He then became aggressive with you by whatever he did. You said you sprayed him. That's when he did whatever he did and you ran away. You can say that.

[00:14:44]So basically you everything you told me is what you would put there.

[00:14:47]>> It's all right.

[00:14:48]>> [laughter] >> Okay. So you can tell >> Yeah, take your time. I'm not I'm not rushing you. I know it's a traumatic.

[00:14:53]You see I'm sorry that I had to kind of make you relive that in a sense by writing it down for us but >> So she's claiming we can't determine independent witness but she's claiming that he choked her until she passed out which is more aggravated is a aggravated felony because they're in a domestic relationship and she just sprayed him with perfume. Was she right for spraying him with perfume?

[00:15:27]No, she battered him first, but it's simple battery. So, his automatically trumps hers. So, we're going to take him to jail. We're just going to file at large for her. So, the state attorney finds probable cause that they should have a warrant for her arrest. So, my my theory is that they told me to arrest them both, but they don't do that here.

[00:15:42]But, I can't let her get away with hitting him with perfume then he reacts and now he goes to jail. So, yeah, he's going to go to jail today, but she's also going to get an at large put out for her, too.

[00:15:50]And I'll explain that to her now.

[00:15:55]So, is it today?

[00:15:56]>> Yeah, he's got a 10-14.

[00:15:58]>> All right.

[00:15:58]>> Yeah.

[00:15:58]>> Mhm.

[00:15:59]I already It's a warrant to be in the car.

[00:16:02]Well, she'll be in the car.

[00:16:03]>> If you can just do the DV paperwork, we're going to do the 10-14 and then at large for her.

[00:16:08]>> Okay. So, Amanda Brooks 11-6-1980.

[00:16:13]Uh yeah, stuff in the room, stuff.

[00:16:16]She said she did.

[00:16:17]Okay.

[00:16:18]Do you have a key card to get in the room?

[00:16:21]Okay.

[00:16:22]Um I can issue her a new key card. Yeah, we're going to We're going to get you the domestic violence paperwork. You know, the case number.

[00:16:29]You know, we'll be right back.

[00:16:34]Uh so, he said a uh an at large. So, what that is is basically you should receive a letter in the mail. You will go to court.

[00:16:44]>> Sorry. I have to find another place to stay.

[00:16:48]>> Mhm. Yeah, that's what it's called.

[00:16:51]>> um >> But, they're they're going to give you a uh I guess another card so you can just go Once they go ahead and 10-15 him as far as going to jail, um they'll give you a card so you can go back up there and grab your stuff. Um and then from there they just probably they're going to have you leave the property and you just have to find somewhere else.

[00:17:08]>> I thought he doesn't know where I am.

[00:17:09]>> Well, no, cuz I mean he'll be in jail.

[00:17:10]So, again, the only way he would know where you are is if you told him.

[00:17:21]>> Ma'am, do you want to sit on one of these boxes or something?

[00:17:23]>> I don't want a chair.

[00:17:25]>> Just make it a little No worries.

[00:17:30]No, no, no. It's not silly.

[00:17:41]All right. So, this is here basically like a pamphlet. Um it gives you everything that you can or may need in this type of situation.

[00:17:48]Um so, I'm going to give this to you, okay?

[00:17:52]There's that.

[00:17:57]So, again, like I said, uh he's being arrested for uh domestic violence.

[00:18:01]Um and like other parties said that they're going to do a at large for you, which means that you probably going to be seeing a letter in the mail uh saying that you need to show up to court on whatever day they provide.

[00:18:14]Um Yeah, yeah. We're going to come back to Florida, I believe, yeah. But, since the the crime happened in Florida, you have to come back.

[00:18:25]So, in honestly, it could be a Zoom situation where you could probably just Zoom.

[00:18:32]Um but, I'm not 100% certain sure, so I don't want to lie.

[00:18:38]So, what happens is he'll probably sitting there until he meets a lawyer. I mean, excuse me, until he meets a judge.

[00:18:43]Uh and the judge will go from there. So, if that's today, it could be today. If that's tomorrow, then it could be tomorrow.

[00:18:50]>> How am I going to know?

[00:18:52]>> So, yeah. So, what I'm going to do is if I'm going to give you a victim notification.

[00:18:56]So, a victim notification basically lets us or someone be able to contact you to say, "Hey, this person is getting out of jail." or whatever the case may be, okay? Um and with that being said, there is a temporary injunction, which means that he cannot get in contact with you via cell phone or email or whatever the case may be. So, I believe it's a 60-day thing or 30-day where he cannot get in contact with you because it's temporary.

[00:19:25]Yes. So, they would So, what what would happen is wherever you stay, they would have an officer from Naps that state or that jurisdiction that you live in come knocking your door and say, "Hey, by the way, Jose Romero has been released from jail."

[00:19:41]And like I said, since it is a DV, there is no bond, just let you know. So, he can't get bonded out regardless if he had the money to.

[00:19:48]Um >> And you'll receive something in the mail as well. You'll receive something in the mail stating he's been released from jail on this day.

[00:20:01]Well, when you get your notification, so when you get home and you get home, take it to your courthouse.

[00:20:17]Getting a restraining order?

[00:20:21]Make him what?

[00:20:25]Okay, well, do you want to not worry about him being mad? What we're worried about is your safety. So, I don't care if he gets mad. We need a restraining You need You Okay.

[00:20:37]Okay, so no.

[00:20:38]You don't want to think We're not worried about >> [laughter] >> what he's doing. We're worried about your safety, right?

[00:20:44]So, what you need to do is when you get back home, [music] you take this and you take this information to your courthouse. Tell them this person's name, get a restraining order.

[00:20:55]This way if he comes within your If he comes within whatever the parameters are in North Carolina, if he comes close to you at your job, at your vehicle, or your home, he comes close to those areas, you call the police and they come out and they step out with him.

[00:21:13]Okay?

[00:21:15]>> I wasn't able to earlier.

[00:21:17]>> Yeah, that's that's fine.

[00:21:19]Yeah, but you're in an unknown place.

[00:21:21]You're going to be in your home. You know your home.

[00:21:24]>> Mhm.

[00:21:24]>> You know the entries and the exit points of your home.

[00:21:27]>> I hate [snorts] it when my old lady knows about it, too.

[00:21:31]>> Does he have keys to your house?

[00:21:33]>> Not right now, but I >> Okay.

[00:21:36]Okay, [laughter] well, then you can change the locks. Just the Just steps that can be taken to make you safer.

[00:21:41]And >> all my door. He can take it off.

[00:21:44]>> Remember, he's not Yeah. This is all all hypotheticals and if you call 911 and you tell them that someone is trying to break into your home and trying to kick the door in or take it off the hinges, um I'm you know, I don't know the response time in North Carolina.

[00:22:07]>> Mhm.
