You know what I'm saying? >> Uhuh. I do know. >> Like I know you're making your money. You're doing something. >> I'm not making I'm not making no money. You see, I always got to fight for it. Like currently right now I'm doing a I'm in the middle of a low income energy efficiency grant uh for 24,000. And that's why I'm here actually because I'm doing work in regards to that in preparation to do my events for that. And like that's the only money that's coming in around here. And like every time we do get extra money, no, you can't have anything. You have to wait till this get here or you got to wait for this. But you steady out here doing other stuff. That's the fact of the matter. That's why I was so mad and adamant about getting paid today. >> Okay. >> Because I constantly see you doing stuff for everybody else and I'm sitting here hungry, struggling with my 18-year-old. Well, he's 17, going to be 18. No, that's not fair to me. >> Yeah. >> And for you to attack me every time we talk about money, to me, that mean guilt.

He >> Yeah, I know. >> So, he did say that he just wants you out of the property for now. Um he doesn't want to do like a trespass. Doesn't want to press charges. you both were fighting, right? Um, I can either arrest both of you or neither of you. And right now, I'm going to make the decision to do neither of you because you were both testing and it's been a long history of you guys fighting, right? Obviously, I'm going to give you my opinion, but you're a grown woman. You're going to take whatever you want to take. But I >> I'm getting away from here. This is the situation for me. >> Okay, good. >> Okay. And then that computer, is that yours or is that his? >> Yeah, that's mine. >> It's yours. Okay. That's also something else where you say it's yours, he says it's his. But that's not something I'm >> Because I'm still in the position. I'm still doing work. I'm in the middle of a federal grant agreement with Metropolitan's Mayor Caucus. >> Okay. Let me go talk to him. >> Um, just leave the area just for now or for today, for the next couple days like you normally do. Okay. Let me go talk to him and I'll tell him that you're going to be heading out. Okay. Just go outside with the other officer and then I'll be right out. Okay. 31 stop and what's across street. Okay, sir. She's going to leave. I did talk to her and >> Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Chad. Uh, yeah. Get over here as soon as you can. >> All right. All right. All right. Let me talk to the police. >> Okay. So, I did talk to her. She's going to leave. I told her to leave you alone. Leave you alone for the next couple days, whatever it may be. Okay. She's telling me that there's money owed, all this stuff. But I told her that's not our department. That's more of court department. Right. Look at all these textes. >> Yeah. >> Look at all these textes. This is this type of stuff I got to go through with her. >> I mean, you're you both are grown adults, right? >> You both get to decide what you guys want to do. What I can recommend is maybe just cut ties off, you know, and that's it. And be done. >> She told me it was hers. >> That's not her computer. >> Look, I'm not black lives, not a computer. >> And she said she's in the middle of a project. The only thing that I can advise is if you want to fight for the computer and all that stuff, go through the court, right? Cuz I I can't tell her, hey, give it to me cuz there's nothing for me. You know what I'm saying? I can't prove and say, yeah, this is this isn't cuz she told me she's in the middle of the project. Pretty sure she'll be back. But what I recommend is >> you got to work on I don't I don't want to work on nothing. >> Okay, that's something that you're going to have to talk to her. Maybe not not definitely not today. Probably in the next couple days. But I did ask her to leave. Okay. She's outside with the other officer. I totally leave. >> My my other employee on his way. >> Okay. Okay. >> Cuz he had to clean this [ __ ] up cuz I ain't get ready to clean up. I can't find my herinade. >> Maybe he can help you with the new new set of eyes, you know. I hope you find it though.

So, >> but I'm going to show you this video. >> Okay. Yeah, show me. See, I got cameras all around here. I'm coming down the hallway, right? >> Mhm. >> Uh cuz I sent it to you to uh I'm coming down the hallway. I got my hand. She just stole on me. >> 3801 or 3807. You know what I can also recommend is maybe get an order protection. >> You own this building? >> Yep. >> This is Yep. I would put your house. I would put this place. I would put everything. That way if you don't want her working for you anymore. >> Yeah. You both are. This happens often, huh? >> No, this our second child. Okay. >> That time really shocked me cuz I had my hands full. I'm walking down the hallway. She come around the corner. >> Okay. >> Yeah. see this is happening like two two time one time it's it's crazy right two times it's a little too often now that's why I'm like maybe get order protection that way she doesn't get close to you >> close to your property >> she going to text me in cuz I came in I had a meeting at 9:00 at district 60 so I came in I left and uh I came in I grabbed some files and I left and she turned around text me why you run I'm running for >> Mhm. you know. >> Yeah. >> I ain't running from nothing. This my You need to get up out of my >> Yeah, which she is. She's leaving. But like I said, order protection might be the best case. >> What you running for? Ain't nobody running out here to meet me. The hell you talking about running? >> Yeah. Do you see how this is unhealthy though? It's going to be not It happened once, it happened twice, and who knows if it's going to happen more. I don't want to we don't want to come back and have to arrest someone, right? Over something like this that can be resolved by getting order protection or someone leaving. Supposed to be helping each other. >> Yeah. Yeah. Helping each other too. That's why you guys are working together. But >> I'll head out if there's nothing else. Okay. I'll make sure that she leaves the property and hopefully she doesn't come back till whenever you guys decide to fix things if you ever do. Okay. [snorts] All right, sir. If you need anything else, call us. Okay. >> Okay. I'm going to do a
