Woman Turns Simple Call Into Multiple Felonies

Officer Vasos responds to a report of a woman, Andrea, walking outside her car, initially believing it to be a safety concern. Upon investigation, it is revealed that Andrea has a no-contact order with her boyfriend, Jonathan, due to a prior domestic violence incident. Jonathan is found driving with a suspended license and on probation for armed robbery, making his presence illegal. The original call was not about these issues, but Andrea’s aggressive behavior—such as yelling and resisting officers—prompted deeper scrutiny. Officers later confirm that had the situation been calmer, they might not have pursued further investigations. Jonathan is arrested for bail jumping and sentenced to 80 days in jail. Andrea is charged with battery and resisting arrest, but takes a plea deal, receiving three years of probation and being released. The incident underscores a critical lesson: emotional outbursts during police interactions can escalate legal consequences, even when the initial concern is unrelated. The officers note that the case would have ended peacefully without the escalation, emphasizing the importance of de-escalation in such encounters.

Hello, ma'am. Hi, I'm Officer Vasos. Is everything okay? Okay, can I talk to you just for a second though? I just want to talk to you if that's okay. Is that your child in the back? Oh, okay. Someone just said that it looked like you maybe you needed assistance. And this was wondering if everything's okay. Yeah, you were walking down the side so I just want to make sure I'm in. Okay. Oh, got it. Okay. Okay. Just one kid's in the back? Yeah. Okay. Yes, someone just said that you were outside the car so that's why I just wanted to make sure and so he just came. Oh, so were you walking in that home? Yeah. Okay. Who's that in regards to you? Who's driving? My kid's father. Okay. Someone's going to go over there. Hello, because your window will go down any farther? Oh, okay. Okay. So yeah, I just want to make sure everything's okay. So were you late picking her up or? Yes, ma'am. Okay. So everything's okay? Yes, ma'am. To mind if I just have your ID just to say, you know, everything's okay. All right. And then that's Andrea. She's just walking. She picked her up. That's all it was. Can you just give me a second? I'll be right there. Okay. I'm just going to verify status. Driver suspended, passenger has no license issue. So see, you have a status as suspended? Was it because of maybe a citation you didn't? Hey, okay. Do you have someone that is a valedriver? Close by. No, nobody's not close by. Oh yeah, because if there's anyone, you know, have a valed license. We'll set that there at your home. Well, because, oh, I got my baby and I'm about to be sitting around this wrong. No, no, no, no, no, no. I can't just hold on. Hold on. Man, just come down. I'm just trying to leave. Can you just hit that out of course? I might have come pick up my car. No, no, great. That's what I'm trying to say is a valedriver. I just don't want you to be in the roadway though. Okay, ma'am, I understand it was a difficult situation. I'm not trying to make it worse. So can you just please stand out of the roadway for me? I just don't want anything to happen to you. Okay. No, because you dumb ass. You can wipe people out here. I want to call them a thing. Nobody's just walking. Oh, she was concerned for you. But it's not nosy, man. They want to make sure that you're okay. Okay, that's somebody beat them up. Yeah, that's something that she was concerned about. She thought that you didn't want to go in the car. No, she thought that she was concerned for your welfare. So isn't that a good thing though? People that care about each other? That's because it's our protocol because there is no valedriver that I can go. So I've got to call somebody. How about everybody is that work? Who's going to come and get my car? I love my home. You pay me in the car. No, because I'm going to jail tonight. No, I would you go to jail? Because you're going to let me take my car. I don't understand what I'm doing right now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because there ain't nobody but come all the way out. Okay, okay. I'm going to talk with him for a second. Okay. Like I just said, so you found someone possibly? No, nobody can't call nobody. He's on the phone with someone. So can I just see you with a Venice here? Okay, step over here out of the road, man. Step out of the road. Come over here. Can I just open the door? The Venice is hard to read. Sorry. I think the Venice had just something inside the door. Just right here. Thank you. She had someone from her work. I know it is so close. Maybe maybe that could work. I don't know. Nobody, everybody's at work. Nobody can come. You'll keep asking the same thing. Question. I draw by every day. Okay. I understand where you're coming from. I'm coming from. I see you're going to stay there every day. Every day. That's my past. Show it every day. Okay. Okay. No. So I guess I'll call to that. I'm going to go get this bin here. No, I got my home. Baby, my car is full of us. Full of us. Full of us. Come here. No. I'm going to full of my nails. I'm not. I'm here. Our child. Our child is fine. I guess I hear him. I'm going to full of us on you. No, no, no, no, no. Because they call because the white woman. And I found him. He's on a hand. Oh, my car. Okay. So she's mad. You don't say all the kittens. I didn't even get to that because, you know, she was angry because he was late picking her up from the hospital. So she walked on Highland. And I think that's what the reporting person didn't get her information saw. And it looked to her though as a DV situation that she didn't want to really get into the car. She thinks that people are nosy here. That they shouldn't call anything in. I don't really agree with that. But I call the tow. So Gerex is in her out. So you're going to want to get her out of there before the tow gets here. I don't. She have a coworker that could just come move the car. No, mom, I'm on my way. Your mom's on the way? She has a second person with her. There's a second person with her. You know how long it will take him to get her out of there. Climb has got her mom's on the way. I mean, does the tow get here? What? Trevnack call? Before her mom, for sure. Either make a decision or let her mom take it or you're making the tow take it. That she's going to lose it when the tow gets here. I don't know. The mother is in route. If you could call Gerex, I'll call them back if they're needed. Officers now find out that the male has an active no contact order with the female due to a previous domestic violence incident, meaning he needs to be taken into custody for violating it. Officers have a sneaking suspicion the female won't react kindly to this. As the officers get ready to take the male into custody, the female's mother arrives at the scene. Hello, are you Andrea's mom? Okay, so are you able to take her and the kid with you? Yes. Okay, perfect. Just write your back to him. She's been screaming at us the entire time and she's gone floppy, so I'm just going to keep her. I'll get your ID back and just come in, okay? If you just want to outblock them, she just want to walk across. Is everyone gone out of this car? All right, well, see you're still here. Is that window go down at all? No, no. No, you're good. So the keys are still in the car and everything, right? Is there a no contact order in place with her? Andrea? They saw their own probation though. It's our robbery, yes. So, there you go. Thank you. You cannot go back to your car right now, no? Because you do not need you by the car right now. So this car will then have to get towed, I mean, I don't know how else anyone's going to take it up. I think she's going to come back to get the car. Got it. So I just want to stop out with me. I have to talk about these tickets and everything with them. So that's why I'm talking to him about the citations, obviously, because he's operating after suspension, so that's what that's for. And this is going to be a citation for for offering a well-spended. You do not have to go to court on this, so that's that. So what do you need to go and get here? Say it again. Your mom's going to drive that car. Okay, I do just have to talk with you a little bit more. If you can come back to my squad, this doesn't have anything to do with you though. So if you come here, Jonathan, yes. So. So probation says that they do want to place a hole because you're not supposed to be content. Okay, does that seem fun? I don't know, unusual or weird. Yeah, so what would be happening? I don't want to just be a big big thing. I do have to place pops and you'll take you up to as our common jail on that. And so you then you can see your probation even. They wanted you to be there, right? So, do you understand that? I told them that you're very playful. Guaftas throughout the whole encounter, which makes it so, you know what I mean? Okay. I'm gone. Stay over here. Why? No, can I ask you, can I ask you why? Please, can I ask you why? Please, no, why?

Are you serious? - Oh, you can't be punching and kicking me. - Could you tell her I'm sorry that you did situation happen? - Yeah, but, yeah. Okay, I'm gonna close the door. - Yeah. - According to court records, the male, Jonathan, was charged with bail jumping. He pleaded guilty and was subsequently sentenced to 80 days in the local jail. The female, Andrea, was charged with felony battery to a law enforcement officer, felony resisting, causing substantial bodily harm for kicking the male officer, resisting obstructing and disorderly conduct. She took a plea deal, pleading guilty to the battery on law enforcement charge while the other charges were dismissed. She was sentenced to three years of probation and was released back into the public. - Every minute, did you keep that type of confrontation going? - You give the officers more reason to start looking a little deeper. Hey, I am the lead attorney, offering a little more legal perspective with our friends over at Midwest safety. And in this case, looking deeper is the last thing this couple wanted. They found that the boyfriend was driving on a suspended license and then found that he was on probation for armed robbery. He wasn't even supposed to be around that woman because of a restraining order. The crazy thing is that none of these issues had anything to do with why the officers were called the original. In fact, one of the officers later told the boyfriend that if the woman hadn't been carrying on like that, the officers probably wouldn't have looked any deeper. The lesson here is that if police are ready to move on, do not talk them into staying.
