on no what did I say okay put your hands behind your back that's not going to happen on F with you here but on February 9th 2024 in Ohio police were dispatched to an apartment where a woman was in a dispute with her girlfriend. What's up, what's up, okay um so basically my girlfriend's in there last night um um she so you're you're the one that called I so no my friend Dominique Smith he's the one that called he's my friend so last night she um the windows are open she choked me you want to walk over here yeah we'll go over here she choked in three times and I know your emphasis looks like I can't eat and there's a scratch too but she did choke me and then she also slapped me in the face pulled me by my hair and I do I knew you guys probably would think it looked like a hickey but I did record the conversation of her saying like I did put my hands on your and stuff and I

she she making it rub B in wasn't even like that okay well I'm not going to lie but she did C him to me first but if she wants to take it however she wants to take it what it's whatever okay if you weren't choking her that bad she would not have marks on her neck like that okay but bro she she be doing but she be moving and doing [ __ ] too though okay like like it could have been I was not I really was not choking her like that but it could have been the way she moved or anything but I'm not going to lie I still know like my Cay you don't you just don't like I'm aware I was wrong I just don't do well unfortunately Michaela we have a duty to step in okay this is domestic violence okay we have to step in and you're going to jail today okay so this she charges them no I said we have a duty to step in we have an obligation whether she why why is it me if if she

day so I got to stand up or else my back's going to start killing me. Um, but as far as like that, that's a question that we always ask people, right? And you'd be surprised at how many people call and they're like, Hey, my boyfriend beat me a year ago, and we're like, Well, why didn't you call a year ago? Right? I mean, there's always more to the story than what one person says. That's why we come in and we talk to both people. Okay, so obviously I don't know what y'all was talking about in here, but um, as far as you're saying that she put her hands on you, you don't have any marks on you or anything like that from her. I have marks on my face. Okay, like I have a whole scratch on my face. It's just small 'cause she just not like, and this wasn't deep. Would you say that was from her trying to get you off of her from choking her? No, but I wasn't even choking her like that. Like

playing in our minds, um, as far as who's guilty or not, really, it's who started it and who kind of escalated it, right? There escalates 'cause there's one thing, right, between somebody slapping you in the face and then getting on top of them and strangling them, right? I mean, those are disproportionate, right? Somebody can slap you, that doesn't mean you get to go to your room and pull a gun on them, right? There's proportionate responses, and it's the same thing for police officers. If I get in a fight with some dude, I can't just, like, pull my gun on somebody just 'cause I get in a fight with them, um. It's the same for regular everyday citizens. So, there's defending yourself, and then there's proportionate responses to what occurs, all right? So, just keep that in the back of your mind. I'm not, not say said she was pressing charges on me. She said she wanted you to go. That's right. I

nowhere I work. I'm a probation officer, so that's why I'm trying to just do this the right way. I don't want any other trouble. I just want her out, and obviously, this like this is not okay. I can't go to work and help my clients when I'm also dealing with this at home. So absolutely, absolutely, I agree. Like I said, does she have any weapons or anything like that in your apartment? Okay, no guns or anything? No, no guns. Gotcha, no. And you said all this happened last night. This kind of been an ongoing thing. So she kind of started putting her hands on me in December. This is what it looked like last night. Um, so that's what that is. That's what it looks like last night. Um, like I said, I have a recording of her saying like, I didn't mean to put my hands on you and stuff just 'cause she, I heard her when she was outside on the phone with her friend. She's like, They're

basically gave her. She doesn't have a car, so I basically gave her the option of I will take you back to your hometown or I'm going to call the police. Like, I need her out. She takes my phone so I can't contact anyone. So I told my best friend, I said, Look, here's my address. If I don't respond, I need you to call the police within x amount of time. So, like, 'cause I kept looking out the window waiting for you guys, and she would not come. And basically, like I said, she puts her hands on me, she screams, takes my phone, and I even locked her outside for a little bit just to try to see if her mom would come and pick her up, something like that. Her mom's not going to come pick her up. And I turned the Wi-Fi off so she couldn't call people to come here 'cause she has done that before. And basically, she's inside right now, and she's like, We're going to leave before they get here. I ain't going.

yours. It's yours. Um, so I don't, I don't think we're disputing the residency part here. We're more concerned with kind of the violence part. I mean, couples argue, and how would it go? Because I'm not the only one that's violent, but I feel like since, like, I look like the in the relationship, I guess. I don't know. I don't know how it works, but it's like, why would I be the only, if I go to jail, why would I be the only one going to jail when I'm not the one who, the only one who put my hands on people, right? Right. And I'm not understand that just because I'm using your words, male in the relationship, right, that we don't just arrest the male in the relationship, quote unquote. Um, that's not, uh, that's not kind of how also she works with the law. So it's like, I'm telling you, Miami County Probation, that doesn't have an effect on us. Okay. That's not, that's not

then she like, All right, I'm going to go out and check up with her. Like, Why is it her story that's more important than mine? 'Cause she, It's not more important. She just had a lot to say. Yeah, and the paperwork they're talking about is, We had a lot to say, bro. We've had a lot in our relationship, and there's been a lot, but it's like if this happened and this happened and you didn't call them, why are you trying to bring it up now? Like, it's old. Yep, I'm not disagreeing. That's one of our questions is, you know, if it happened, why didn't you call when it happened? Right, That is a question that we ask. That's something that we want to know too is like, 'Well, you would be amazed at how come over here and sit down. Do what? Do you mind if I sit down?' Yeah, Go ahead. Yeah, I'm not about to. You're good. I, yeah, no, that's fine. I sit in the car all

that we can at least get your side of things 'cause I just whatever happens in our report, we're going to take your account of information and what your account was into consideration 'cause we're not the NWO, we're not the jury, we're not the judge, we're not the Executioner, right? We're not doing anything. Whatever we come to today is just what happens today. What happens tomorrow, that's up for the judge, that's up for juries. I mean tomorrow, so that does mean I'm going to jail. No, I'm talking hypotheticals, right? You're talking hypothetical running out the back window. We're still talking hypotheticals, right? Whatever happens, this isn't the end of whatever happened. This is just what we can piece together on our end, all right? So, but I feel like y'all's talking to her more than me, like y'all's talking to her. Is it 'cause she called the cops 'cause y'all talking about we're going to do paperwork and then she talked to me and

put her hands on me too. Why am I the only one going to jail today? You are deemed the primary aggressor. You have your day in court to argue that, okay? But today you are going to jail, okay? I need you to stand up and come with us. Can I call my mom? Listen, you got to make it quick and let her know you're going to jail right now, and you got to go. Like, we have other things that are popping off in the city right now too, so um, she's doing the okay camera's L next to her. I explained to her everything, she's cool, all that. So are you okay with that? I'm going to jail. You're going to jail, yes. Um, what they charge you? Yeah, domestic violence. Like, Alex does not put her hands on me, bro. You tell that, that's your home, that's your address? Yes, they don't give a, they don't care. So I got to go, so you got to get one, they right there? Yes, she told me I need to hurry up and call.

live here. I moved in here with her, right? But she wouldn't open the door, and so I was out the door. I'm not going to lie, I was banging on the door. Shouldn't have been banging on the door, but I was. And she called the cops, and I just told them, like, I'm trying to leave. Like, I have all my stuff. I just want my wallet. But I didn't put my hands on her. We've never been in. If you got residency, banging on a door is not. It's the least of our concerns. If you live in a house, as far as living in the house and residency goes, like, if you want to bang on the door, then that's, I mean, it's your house too. I mean, if you want to break a door, then I mean, if it's your house, you want to break a door, then I mean, that's just on you, between you and the Lord. It's different when you're breaking other people's doors in, right? But if it's

your idea on question um your hands on you and stuff like that. What so she choked you. She's she choked me three three times last night. Like I would like get up and try to breathe and stuff and and then she would do it again. Then yeah um did you lose Consciousness at all. I did not. Did you have trouble breathing. I didn't have trouble breathing. I was like trying to but she's very strong. So like trying to get her off of me. Okay okay um you want me to do that later. I'm going to grab for you. Okay where are you a probation officer at uh Miami County. Miami yep Miami. Been there about 2 years now. Nice. I love it. It's crazy but I love it. Yeah yeah it's a I'm sure it's a wild. Yes yeah. Does she know we're here right now. Yes she does. Okay yeah. Do you think is she G to have an issue talking to us or anything like that. I think so. I do. She made any suicidal statements or anything like that. No she did not. Okay

don't know what the charge would be. Whatever happens, I mean, it all depends. I can't give you any realistic info 'cause I'm not a judge or nothing like that, right? So, um, and I don't really know where this falls or what's going on or even if she wants any charges or anything like that. So, I mean, it's hard to give you kind of any information on that. Um, once we kind of get a clear view, we can kind of tell you what's going to happen, if anything. She was saying that this has happened before, though. No, I didn't put my hands on her before, but the cops did get called here before. Yeah, yeah, they did. And it was another situation. She wouldn't let me in the house. I had my ride. I was leaving, right? Like, I don't remember the cop's name, but even they let us go because I told them I just wanted my wallet. My wallet was in this house. She would have opened the door, and legally, I'm allowed in here. My mail comes here. I

the phone. My mom tried to call my mom to see if she could find somebody. They said no. She told me y'all would see her. That was really the end of really what happened to her. Okay, so what do you mean she put her hands on you? Like when we be arguing, bro, she be putting her hands on me first. Like it's like a type thing, like we be a push-come-to-shove kind of thing. Like I'm not going to, I'm not trying to get her in trouble or anything. If I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble, but it's like I don't put my hands on her unless I'm responding to her putting her hands on me. Like my face, she scratched my face, grabbed my. Okay, where did all this happen? In our bedroom, in the bedroom, or you okay? You were you guys in the bed or just standing up around the bed? I don't know what it looks like, but we was, we was in the bed 'cause it was. Sorry, I just don't. Okay, oh, you got a couch in there.

um, do you care to take pictures and stuff from me? You want to go talk? You want us to go talk to her first and then, yeah, I just, I can, yeah, I don't want to take pictures. Okay, yeah, I was going to, we can go talk to her. Um, do you care to do a statement about what happened or a written statement? Yeah, okay. Um, we'll go make processing. I'm just going to get a piece of paper. Um, I can do that now before. Do you think she's going to try to run or anything like that? She may, I'm not even going to lie, she may like first. So there's like the front living room window, bedroom window, there's a window in the other room, and then a kitchen window, so that goes out the back. Mhmm, okay. All righty. Um, do you care? Do you have to go to work or anything? Do you care? No, I'm off the rest of the day. I call him sick today. Okay. Do you care to hang out before we do all the paperwork and the

not going to believe you. They're going to say it looks like a hickey. You're not going to get me arrested, all that kind of stuff. I literally gave her the option before I had my friend call you, that CU. I said, I will take you back, but you need to leave. Either the cops are going to come and get you, or I will take you back, but you cannot be here anymore. Like, I can't. I can't do this. Okay, how long have you guys lived together for? Um, about a year. We moved here on July 1st, I think, is when we moved here. But she's been like, she lives here, like she does get mail here, residency. But she also goes back to her hometown for like weeks, sometimes a couple weeks at a time or so. You guys been dating for longer than that? Um, about a year. About a year. Mhm. Okay, I got you. Oh, she's got marks on her neck from last night. Is she still here? She's in the house, yeah. And what made her do that? Um, I told

she took my phone. Okay, did she know you were going to try to call 911? Is that why last night? Yeah, yeah, 'cause I told, like, I think that that was the worst she had ever done it, and I think she knew I was at the point of, like, holy [__], like, you just did that to me. And so I grab, I actually went to grab my phone, and she took it. And I was like, I just want to make sure I can hear my alarms for work in the morning. And she's like, no, you're not. So she did, she did take it. And yeah, so my phone. Okay, but you didn't say you're, like, calling the cops. That's okay. Okay, um, I so we are going to arrest her. Um, and I'm not saying that's because you want this. Um, but we have an obligation because it is domestic violence. Um, because you guys live together. You guys have been in a relationship together for a year now. We have an obligation to step in. Absolutely. Um, I am also going to

you well. You have to get yourself when you get when you get out and do what you got to do away from it, right? Love you, bye. I love you too, bye. Um, I understand this is your... you live here, okay? I'm not saying that you can't live here, okay? But that's fine. Can we just go? Yeah, okay, all right. Um, you don't have anything on you that's going to... you just have your phone on you, AirPods on my phone, okay, all right. I am going to pat you down real quick, just to make sure. Do you want to leave any of that here, or you okay? All right. Will you spread your feet for me, please? Yeah, can I put on my shoes? These is hers, and I know she's going to want them. Where's your shoes at? Uh, you could just grab a pair out one of them boxes. One of the boxes, okay. I just got to wait. You said, can I do what for you? Spread your feet for me, please. Thank you. AirPods and phone right here, yeah.

her the marks on her neck. Don't know. Don't know how those got there. No. Okay. Wow. She says otherwise. So, if you want to tell me what happened, I mean, it'd be better if you tell me what happened. Bro, we was, bro, when we was arguing. Um, I'm not going to lie. I did. I did grab her neck. But, like, I'm going to keep it pee with you. She put her hands on me first. She put her hands on me first. And I, I have never put my hands on this girl. I, I literally texted her after it happened. And I told her how sorry I was that it happened. And she put her hands on me. I put my hands on her. [ __ ] happened. So, I was supposed to leave today. I couldn't get a ride to leave. So, she got mad, locked me out, turned off the Wi-Fi. And by the time I came back in, 'cause she just let me in like 30, 40 minutes ago. Mhmm. I tried to call my mom 'cause I was just on

her. I didn't want to be with her, so the last time that I took her back, I told her. I said, Please don't come back. Like, she doesn't have a car, so she wasn't going to have a way up here. I said, Please do not come back. Like, I don't. I blocked her on everything. She literally created new social media accounts to get a hold of me, like text now numbers to get a hold of my number. And she had her brother drop her off here. And basically, ever since, I was like, It's not my responsibility, 'cause she lives 2 hours away. I was like, It's not my responsibility to have to take you back to your hometown. That's not my job. And so, I have been telling her the past week, like, I don't want to be with you. Like, you scare me, and I just want her out. Okay, um, where's your hometown at? Zay, Ohio. Oh, okay. What's her name? Michaela. Okay. I didn't want to have to do this, but she wouldn't leave on her own. Do you have

okay, all right, we can grab one of these shoes real quick. Good for okay on this way. No, what did I to say? Okay, put your hands behind your back. That's not going to happen. I'm fine with you here, but put your... stop, stop now. I'm right here. Stop it. Don't resist arrest. Stop. Have you called your mom? Yep. Okay. Is that what she called you? Okay, stop. Stop.

So basically, we've been arguing off and on for a minute, and today I went outside 'cause she went outside, and she locked me out the door. So I was outside for like 2 hours, I think, and my phone is off, and I was... she asked me to leave, and I was like, 'Well, technically, I live here.

told her I would go like I mean I'm not going like what would happen if I would have ran cuz I was about to go out the back window oh we would have chased yeah but y'all would have know cuz y'all was out there talking for a minute I would have been gone I wasn't going to run I'm not going to lie to you I'm not running I mean if you want to talk in hypothetical and you say you you were going to run right and we didn't know that you ran you just snuck out of back window and you pulled one over our the wool over our eyes umat me tight [ __ ] huh y'all just catch me typ [ __ ] yeah yeah I mean I mean you got a long life right It's not like you can avoid the law for the rest of your life yeah that would be a warrant most definitely yeah so it it's it's good that you say it looks good for you and it looks good

charge her with strangulation um for strangling you, which is a felony. Okay um I'm just I know I'm sorry. I'm sure that's a lot, but I just want to be honest with you. Okay, obviously, you're at your wit in um. I'm sorry, don't apologize. You do not need to apologize at all. I didn't want it to come to this, but I didn't have a choice. I literally thought you understand that. Well, yeah, I understand that um. Do you care? I'm sorry. Do you care if I see this text messages where she had told you that she was sorry for what she did to you or that video of her admitting. Alright, so it sounds like your guys' stories aren't matching up or anything like that right now, so we're trying to figure out everything right. I mean, that's I can't make any determination right now. How long if I did, how long do you think I'd be in jail for, for what, whatever I

does and she didn't want to drive me 'cause I live 2 hours away, so she asked me to find somebody who would meet us in Columbus. And I've been trying to find somebody, but I don't have nobody, okay? And um, so she walked me outside, and then I was begging her to let me come inside. She let me come inside, and then she turned off the Wi-Fi 'cause my phone's off, and it only connects to Wi-Fi, so I couldn't text nobody. And then she just asked me to leave before she called y. I didn't even know she called y, but before she called y'all. And then I said I'll leave, but I was asking her to turn on the Wi-Fi so I can get all my arrangements set up where I live. And then by she turned on the Wi-Fi when y'all got here, so okay, basically that's it. But we was arguing yesterday, and okay, what happened yesterday when you all were arguing? Not much for real, just the same [ __ ]. Okay, so what's up with the necks on?

put your hands on her first, and that things often get physical between you guys. I'm not saying that's what happened, but I mean, do at any point like you get physical with her or anything like that. Okay, okay. Like I said, she's drinking last night, and literally, it, I'm not kidding, it literally happened when I was like, I do not want to be with you. Like, and after that, it was just like, she's getting red, and like I said, even in the video, what I, 'cause I literally recorded her saying that she was doing it, and she's like, I don't, she's like, it even scared me. I know you were scared, all that kind of stuff, but no ma'am, I no, as much as me putting my hands on her, I was literally like trying to obviously get her off of me as go like that, but that was the extent of me putting my hands on her 'cause I was like, You need to get. Yeah, I got you. Um, did you at any point try to call 911 last night or anything? Not was
