I was supposed to go to court for my family on January [Music] though I can't believe it. On December 11th, 2022, at around 1:21 p.m., officers responded to a report of a disorderly person at an apartment complex. The caller, Ashley Salus, reported that her ex-boyfriend had damaged the windshield of her car. When officers arrived at the scene, they met with Ashley. Hi, where's everybody else at? They're inside. Inside, okay. What's going on? So, um, I came, um, we had plans to me and my boyfriend to see each other. So, as soon as he come into the car, you know, he has aggression in him because he got upset about something earlier. And then he, I told him to get out of my car because he grabbed my phone and I literally had to fight him to get it. He bucked at me and then he did this to me. I like he was going to punch me and then when I told him to get out of my car, he got his foot and he

broke my windshield. Okay, are you registered under the vehicle? Um, no, this is my um under my dad's name. Where's your dad at? So, he's um home at how you doing. He yeah okay okay no matter what.

Yeah, we've been having some issues lately. So I just, she came over to see me, I guess, and kind of just got into a little argument, right? What was the argument about?

Tell you, is she well just a couple of days ago. She found a girl on my phone that I was involving myself with. Yeah, but she's mad because we were broken up around this time. Mhmm. So, when I was involved myself with another girl, you know, it wasn't behind her back or, you know, anything on a break. Yeah, we was just on a break. So, I'm guessing like two days ago, maybe she just called the girl name my phone, and you know, we've been kind of going back and forth, you know, trying to explain to her it's not like that, you know, you was single, I was single. Yeah, trying to, trying to, yeah, but get that, and then that turned, that was today. Yeah, okay, what transpired inside the vehicle for the windshield to get broken in your glasses to get broken? So, basically, we'll just talking about the

whole situation and she basically she got mad because I kept trying to let me tell her that I was single you know and she just she doesn't like that so she grabbed my glasses oh she broke them how she break what what she do breaking she hit me she hit me first but then when my glasses flew on her side um I tried to grab them but she grabbed them first and she Twisted them and I'm I'm half blind without my glasses so I can't really see so basically then she tells me to get out her car get out her car and you got out when inside so but while in the meanwhile all that I guess my elbow hit the glass and that happened which wasn't meant for it to happen but oh Bo you're getting out your elbow hit yeah well when I was trying to reach for my glasses like oh interesting I was trying to hurry up and get them she got hold you ever live together uh yes we how long ago was that I would say

maybe six 6 to eight [Applause]. Okay, how long are they together? Was for about three to five months. They y' been together for about what, two years now? And whenever the windshield um broke, I tried to stand. I try to apologize. You tell her I'll fix it. I'll fix it, but she didn't want list. She called you guys, I guess. Yeah, know when I tried to tell you because I Tred to tell her like all we got to do is to go to a windship place, you know, we'll fix it. I'll pay for it, you know, but she trying to listen up. I got you. I got you. Okay, you got your ID wi or now. Okay, what's your last name? Uh, Del puzzle. How you spell that? D e o p e z o. And your first name? Uh, Caesar. Caesar. C e s a r. And what's your date of birth? What's good contact number for you? My mom want to order restriction order. You need to do that to the courts. That's all to the courts. We don't we

don't handle that. So, do you live here, or is this, are you just visiting your mom? Yes, well, I kind of live here as well. Yeah, listen, I want, I want res hold against her because he used to hit him. She look, you, you have to do all that through the courts. Yeah, look, yeah, you see how that was long time, but she used to hit him. Okay, you know, I get it, I get it, but for train anyone, you to go through the court, that's not today. There's not much I can do on that. All right, yeah, just want let you know what you, yeah. How long have you all been together? Almost 2 years, almost 2 years. Have you ever lived together? Yes, we have for just a month, though. How recent was that? That was just a year ago, that was a year ago. You only lived together for a month? Yeah, this, okay, I told him to get out of my car so he wouldn't get out of my car, right? I understand. That's so crazy how he can act like this.

now but he can act with aggression towards me, and it's so crazy. Come with me over here, okay? Let's go over, Michael. This is so crazy. He's so fake. He's so fake. So fake. He's so... Where are you staying at now? I live in... okay. Is it the... anything like this ever happened before? Yes, we've had multiple cases, domestic cases. Um, he is actually banned from my house for 3 years after putting his hands on me. Okay, we have the report and everything in my house. Okay, does he ever arrested for... Yes, um, he... I'm old job. He punched someone in the face, and he got arrested for that. Not just that. I mean the domestics. Oh, no, no. Okay, I said before if you live together already. He said you lived together for what, two a month? That was a year ago. Yeah, okay. You share any children? Okay, step out of the room. I don't want... I don't want anyone to... You kind of got the road blocked up a little bit. He's going to pay for the windshield.

R um. I mean, here's the thing, okay? As far as the windshield getting replaced, that's not something I can dictate. That's between you, him, and possibly the courts, okay? No, but like I'm saying, like, he can, you can get his insurance, and that insurance will do that, cover it, right? Is car insurance? Yeah, no, this car insurance. No, that car insurance covers vehicle, the vehicle. It doesn't cover this individual damaging a vehicle. Car insurance doesn't work that way. He'd have to come out of pocket to pay that. So, what is the point of calling the police if then there's nothing I could do about my windshield? I mean, there's something that can be done about the situation. We're going to get your information. If we can find probable cause to make an arrest, we're going to do that because this is a domestic situation. Now, as far as restitution goes, that's not something that we can enforce. I can't force someone. I assume that's why I call, so we can just file a report and get that windshield.

fixed okay because this is domestic violence. Still just CU you weren't hit. It's still domestic violence. All right, you're honestly this is a point in your life you need to make a decision. Okay, you're how old? Look how old are you. Look, I'm not here to get lured. I'm just here to yeah I know you're not but I'm just here to get my windshield. But here's the thing he's put he's put his hands on you. He's busted your car up. Okay, so somewhere in there the decisions you're making are not helping you. Okay, but this is about the windshield. This isn't about the relationship. It is because you're in a relationship as of right now. This is just windshield as of right now. Yeah sure you're done with him. You're broken up but he broke your windshield. You have lived together. You're in a relationship. That makes it domestic violence. Can I talk to that officer instead because I understand. No trust me I understand. I completely understand my decisions to keep going back to him. I

completely understand. Well, that's you. You're an adult. You can make that decision. You're right, but I just wanted to file a report just on my wish shield. I don't want to be lectured right now 'cause I completely understand. Trust me, the situation's not going to change. What we have here is possible criminal trespass or criminal damage to property, domestic violence. This isn't a car accident, okay? I understand that, but I'm just trying to file a report, but it seems like you're just trying to lecture me right now. Well, I'm trying to offer some helpful advice, but that's fine. Don't worry. I need you to stay over there, ma'am. Stay over there, please. You want to talk to him? No, I don't want to talk to him. You don't want to talk to the other officer? Oh, I do. Okay, well then please stand by over there, okay? I guess so's the idea. There's the information. What I GA, she'd rather talk to you, so I got his side and need to get your

side okay so he's 19. I don't look AT3. I'm the same age. Okay, so how long have you all been together? Two years. Two years. You ever live together in the past? But I want to say it's just living. It was just for a month. Okay, so what happened today? Why did you come upday? So um, we had to went to come see each other. Um, I had meet up with somebody and I guess he got upset about that. But he still texted me saying that he still wanted to see me. And so I, that's why I came here. And when I came in the car, the first thing I did was just hug him. He looked at me dead in the eyes with like anger in his face. So that's when I was like, okay, can you please just get out of my car? I was going to leave. He would not leave my car. He um, put up his foot to my window to um, pretend like he was going to hit it. And I, I just stared at him. And then um, when

I told him to get out of my car. He would not get out, and then oh, we had a um fight. He grabbed my phone, and um he wouldn't let go of my phone. So he bucked at me and um raised his fist at my um my face, which made me like jump. And then um, what else happened? And then um, that's when I drove. I tried to drive away, but I was like please get out of my car, and he wouldn't get out. So that's when I grabbed his glasses and just put it in the back seat. And then that's when he started hitting my uh windshield with his foot. And then um, when he broke my windshield, I did grab his glasses, and that was in the back seat, and I broke it. So that's what happened to his glasses. That's in his hands. Okay, but I did not. I don't know [Applause] [Music] 6 2333. It's so crazy. That's so crazy. I'm, it's my fault for everything.

it's so [Music] crazy. It's so crazy. It's my fault for everything. [Music] Did you mean to break the glasses or no? I'm sorry. Did you mean to break the glasses or no? Oh, when he broke my windshield, I did. Yeah, I'm acting up with what. It's so crazy. So crazy. At one point in all this, he said he raised his fist, actually. So when he grabbed my phone and I tried to get my phone out of his hand. Okay. [Applause] Now, did he motion like he was trying to hit you or did he just raise his fist? He motioned it like he was going to hit me. He didn't raise. He didn't just raise it like this. He went forward with it. He always does that. [Applause] That is such a lie. I have witnesses. Let them be. Let them be. I'm not going to lecture you. Okay. How old are you? 19, sir. 19. All right. You got a job? Yes, sir. Okay. I tried to explain to her that all

we have to do is just go to the windship place. You know, they replace it. I'll pay for it. You know, okay, but she didn't want to listen. She wanted to freak out like it couldn't be solved, I guess. Well, I think she's under a misconception thinking that your car insurance would fix it, and then car insurance don't work that way. I can p. So, I understand that as far as the window getting F. Just someone misunderstood the idea of how vehicle insurance works, thinking that his vehicle insurance would cover the cost of damages to her car, but no, it doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, insurance companies don't work that way. So, sir, yes ma'am, I'm his mom. I understand, but that gu, you see that car like that because she does a lot of damage on that. That's she him. I don't want her no more here. I don't want. I think that's great advice. I do too. I don't want because she do the most. She do. She used to hit him. I got prove that she used to.

scratch him. I used to be in the home because she was coming with a place that we used to leave. She uh, she she come and visit her. It's too much what she do. She used to scream in the outside the the the the you know the complex, make it a trouble. It's trouble for me too because I live in this place, you know, and it's it's too much. So like I tell her, don't come. I just tell her, don't come here. You guys no great together, split. That's it. That's it. We I told her, oh she keep and coming. I don't want she come here no more, said no more. It's too much, no more. Because she is, she's acting up really, really. She and she like to hit him. Feel like I just said that to someone about two minutes ago. I got told I didn't want to be lectured, just trying to give advice, dude. You got the best chance right now, split your ties, go get away from her, don't talk to her, dude. It's this ain't

going to get anywhere the worse, and it's going to push it to a point where either one of you or both of you winds up in jail, okay? And I'm not saying that as like someone's gonna come back here. If we come back here, we're going to lock someone up. I mean, one of you is going to put yourselves in a position that you're going to be arrested. And yeah, getting a DUI or getting shoplifting or something like that, getting arrested for a misdemeanor charge ain't that big a deal. But domestic violence stuff, that's pretty big. It's not a felony; it can be at times, but most of the times, it's not. It's still a nasty charge to have to sit there and explain when you want to apply for a job or you want to get something, sir. Okay, you want to hang out in the back of my car real quick? I just got a lot of stuff for the call where I'm trying to keep everybody separated right now. I'm not. I'm going to

be in my car. So, I'm just trying to keep everybody separated for the time being. This is our see. Okay, so all I got to do is put your names in my call, get a case number. All right, I'm going contact, have Records contact y'all. And now she's setting off her car alarm. Jez. Okay, Ashley, need to get away from my car. Ash, we are doing an investigation. He needs to get away from my car. You set the car off to get away from my car. He needs to get away from my car. Ashley, what did I say? He's not going to touch your car while I'm standing here, but he's near my Mustang. I don't want to. Can he just stand like over? He's also standing on the sidewalk in front of his house. Can you stay over there, please? 'Cause he's near my car. I par my car right there. You can stay right there. He's going to stay right here. Just breathe. I understand. Want him near my car whatsoever. Okay, he's not going to hurt your car. I know.

he's not, but I want. I don't want him to near my car at all. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want. That's life. I'm just going to move my car. Don't move your car. I'm telling you. I'm telling you right now. Don't. I'm just. That's not an ask. That's not a question or a request. Do not move your vehicle, okay? Sounds good. I don't want him near my car at all. He's not going to touch your car. This Mustang that I pay for. I don't want him near it. I thought your dad bought it. No, he bought it under his name, but I make payments to it. Okay, well, he's not going to touch your car. All right. He better not. You better not touch my car, Ashley. You need to go back over there to the grass. I offer the during the investigation. Officers discovered that Ashley had an outstanding warrant from another police department related to a charge of battery in a domestic violence case. Come here. Come here, Ashley.

Well, I don't want to leave your wallet and your phone sitting in your passenger seat where everyone can see. You want me to put it in a glove box, or we can put it in the trunk. Um, I don't know. I don't know what to do. Unlock the trunk. Unlock. You do this to [Music] me. It is not. It is not. Police Department warn out for your arrest. Okay, all right.

I'll get some paperwork for y'all. My parents did. They dropped the charges. I don't understand. I just spoke with Pooler. They confirmed it. Okay, they told me they dropped. You have any weapons on you or anything? No. You got any pockets on the shorts? No. Oh my God. They said they were going to drop the charges. Go and step in the car for me. Stir you [Applause] know um them out cuz we still got to figure all this out. What happened? She's got warrants out of Pooler for I don't know if it's an incident to do with you or do

with her family. She said something about it being with her family. That's nothing that we can do at some point or another. If she had come into contact with law enforcement, she'd be going to jail for that warrant. This situation just happened to be the chance that it was found out. She got pulled over in the car, and they ran her information. She would have had a warrant. They would have arrested her then. Nothing to do. Her getting arrested right now has nothing to do with today's incident. He feeling bad. I get it. You feel bad. She's got some problems. Yeah, okay. I get it. She's young, but she's an adult too, and I think she hasn't understood that yet. I don't know if either of you understand it yet, but you both better start because you're starting to make adult decisions, and when you make bad adult decisions, you get treated like an adult, and it sucks. Yeah, but the point I tell her, I tell him, is the person is the group B. You know, feel bad. I get you feel bad.
