I'm out on a $52,000 bond. I ended up getting put on with a gambling room, like the hard rock. Police opens the door. There's a whole bunch of people and they're like scurrying. I got to f up out that building. I got to go. Now it's six of them running at me with guns. So I put my car in reverse.

Boom! I'm going to jail for the rest of my life. Once I hit middle school, when I hit 15, I ended up getting pregnant. I was actually in an alternative school at the time and on ankle monitor. Why? Why? I was on ankle monitor for, like, violating probation.

It was all juvenile. What were you on probation for? I was on probation for, like, robberies, like, um. Robberies? Yes, robbery, grand thefts, autos. It was, yeah. Like, it was crazy. Okay, like, like, we're not going to, we can't skate, skate over that.

Like, what, what happened? What, how? Um, car hopping, like, going in people's, cars like, you know, checking people's cars, seeing if it's open, going in it. And you found one? Yeah, found one. Got in it. Ended up getting charged with it.

Did you drive the car? You got to... No, no, no, no, no. I didn't steal the car. Oh, okay. I just went in and took the people's stuff. I was young. I was dumb.

And, like, definitely in high school, before I got sent to the alternative school, like, it was just me skipping. I was going to school just to skip. Like that was it. Like I was going to school, wouldn't even go to my first class or nothing, because you have classes in high school. Like, you go to different classes. I would literally go to school, meet up with my friends, and we would go skip from school. I went to Okiva High School.

And we would all skip. We would always get into some bad stuff. We were smoking young age, drinking young age. Like, I was literally putting my mom's vodka in, like, water bottles. But this was before I was pregnant. And we would go. skip at different schools. We would take an Uber to different schools and go skip at different schools.

Like, yeah. So then I ended up, I got in trouble for all of that, of course, and I ended up going to an alternative school, which was positive pathways. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. It's literally like a jail. It's literally like a jail. You have to walk through metal detectors to get in. Like, you have to wear like a uniform, like a whole uniform, like dress pants,

dress shirt, like buttoned up, everything. It was a whole uniform. It's literally like jail. And I ended up finding out I was pregnant when I was there. And when I found out I was pregnant, I told my school counselor first. And I was like, I don't know how to tell my mom. My mom is going to, like, not be happy with me. I'm not sure, like, how to break this news to her. Like, I mean, I always seen, like, on social media and stuff, like, go to your school

counselor if you find out you're pregnant. They have a lot of options for you and stuff. And she did. She had this option for me to go to, I think it was called PACE. It was like a school for women who are pregnant or have babies. So once you have the baby, you could still go to school and there's like daycare there and stuff. She gave me all the paperwork. My mom just needed to sign off on the paperwork.

I put my pregnancy test in the folder that she gave me with the paperwork. And I handed it to my mom. And I was like, I just handed it to her and she opened it. And she said, she looked at me and she told me, get an abortion or get the fuck out of my house. like word for word is what she said and I was like I don't want to get an abortion like I want the baby I won't get an abortion I'm keeping this baby and she's like you cannot live here you cannot live here I'm not putting up with this shit any longer she's been putting up with me on probation me on ankle monitor I'm literally on ankle monitor telling her I'm pregnant and I think it was the following day

me and my step dead ended up getting to a really bad argument to where he got physical with me and I got physical bad and my mom was like I absolutely not get the fuck out of my house. She called my baby daddy's mom. Mind you, my baby daddy was like known in school for like robbing. He was the bad boy. Like he was the bad boy in school. So like that's pretty much what attracted me to him at first. But he, she ended up calling his mom and was like she cannot stay at my house any longer. Mind you, my baby daddy's also on ankle monitor for literally a home invasion. Yeah, he's on the news, 14 years old on the news. Yeah, I was 15 at the time.

And she called his mom, mind you, I don't know his mom. We definitely didn't meet, like, under his mom's watch or nothing. It was none of that. And so his mom was like, okay, she's pregnant with his kid. Like, I'll come get her if she really has to get out your house. So she came and got me, and I just packed on my stuff. I didn't know this woman. And at this point, I'm already so far along pregnant.

When I was two weeks pregnant, my baby daddy got sent to a program. juvenile program because he was on ankle monitor and he ended up like the case came to an end and it was he got sentenced to a program it was just like juvenile prison so he was in there for like I'm not sure how long it was but I know he got arrested when I was two weeks pregnant and then he was in there my whole pregnancy up until I was my son was born and six months old so he missed my whole pregnancy my son's first part of his life and stuff my labor all that and I'm just living with his mom. His mom was a complete wreck and literally a complete wreck. Definitely should not have been my mother figure at the time for me like getting ready to have a baby and stuff. And I ended up

moving in with her and stuff. Everything was okay at first. But again, she had men and not the house. So, and she didn't care. She didn't have no respect. She was definitely a lot different than my mom. Like my mom definitely made sure her kids were safe and everything. She didn't really care about me or her kids that were still there. Because she still had two boys there, which were my baby Addy's brothers. She's just providing a roof over the head. Literally, that's it, like, gone all the time, like, at work, gone, like, 90% of the time. Her men would be in the house, not working, just living there, literally, like, expense-free.

And I ended up having my son. I still lived in her house because my mom was, like so not okay with me coming back. She's like absolutely not. And I had my son. He was six months old and my baby daddy ended up getting out of jail. But actually in the meantime, he ended up getting with this boy because my baby daddy kept catching time in the program and I don't know why in my head. I was like, I'm done waiting for him. That's it. Like I need somebody to be there for my son. Like besides just me because I couldn't support my son by myself at the time. I'm 15. I can't get a job that you cannot legally work at 15th. Can't get a job. I barely can even make it to my doctor's

appointments because my mom wouldn't sign off on paperwork for my baby daddy's mom to bring me because I'm a minor. I'm a child. My guardian has to sign off on that. So it was a whole mess and I ended up getting with this boy and I ended up getting it in this really bad car crash, which almost cost to me my life. And mind you, my son's born by this time. So. Was your son in the car? No, no, no, no. My son was at home with his uncle, which is my baby daddy's brother. And like, I remember just waking up to the police standing over me, talking about, who are you? I wasn't driving. It was in a stolen car. I wasn't driving. I got picked up. And all I remember, the last time I remember is them telling me to put my seat butt on. I don't remember if I put my seat butt on. Like, I don't remember nothing. Like,

my collarbone still sticks out my chest to the day because of this. Like, it was a really bad car crash, but that kind of just opened my eyes. And I was like, you know, this street life, this. isn't what I want. I want to go back. I want the right way. I want to be with my baby's father. And, you know, try again. Like, he's out of jail. He got out of jail when I was six months old. So I was like, let me try again. And mind you, I didn't really know him when I got pregnant. So we were with each other for like three months before I got pregnant. But like, I didn't really, I didn't, I didn't, you don't know someone in three months. Right. Like, you just know what they're showing you. So I'm like, he got out. Let me try. So I completely moving with him. like in his mom's house because I did end up moving out after the car crash and I moved back in

when he got out of jail and he was a monster he was literally a monster and I never seen the side of him he was so abusive we got kicked out of his mom's house because like she would make a whole scene like I'm screaming because he's beating the shit out of me and she's like get the fuck out my house you're causing a scene like get your son what do you mean get your son like I'm causing a scene because he's hurting me. Like, so she, like, I'm talking about put my son's pack and play outside, like, kicked us out the house. Like, so we ended up having to move in with his dad, which I never met his dad.

I always heard his dad as drunk, which he was. So when we move into this trailer, I'm talking about this trailer is half built. Like, no floors in it or nothing. Like, we're, yeah, yeah, it was like, I guess someone he was working for a house before, they're like, okay, work on this house and you could live here while you work on this house. And we had no other choice. We had to move in with him. I couldn't move back in with my mom. And he already, like, burnt that bridge with his mom. Like, absolutely not. We could live there. So he moved in with his dad. And, I mean, he's building the house as it goes. It ended up coming

together as a house. But his dad's a complete drunk. But I ended up getting pregnant again. But then, like, yeah. The same kid. Yes. Same boy. Is he not understand what's happening? I mean, you guys not understanding what's called? It was more. It was more of like he missed it the first time. Let's try again. I was kind of... Is he independently wealthy? I mean, what is he doing for a living? Independent. Well, I'm saying, what is he doing for a living? Nothing. Nothing. How are you guys feeding these kids? I'm getting there. There comes a point in life when you realize you need to be more intentional about what you're eating every day.

That's actually why I started using good ranchers. Good ranchers partners with local American farms and ranchers to deliver one 100% American meat straight to your door. No imports, no guessing where it came from, just real, high quality meat you can trust. And I'll be honest, once I started getting their deliveries, it just made everything easier. I always have good steaks, chicken, whatever I need, ready to go. No last minute grocery runs, no cutting corners. And they just launched custom boxes. So now, instead of getting a pre-built box, you can pick exactly what you want. If you eat more steak, load it up with steaks. More chicken, do that. It's built around what you actually. actually use. And right now, when you start your plan, you'll get a choice of free meat that will be

included with every order at no additional cost. And with my code inside, you'll get $25 off your first order. That's free meat with every order and $25 off your first order with my code inside when you start your plan with good ranchers.com. Good ranchers.com American meat delivered. Okay. So I get pregnant again. Mind you, we have no transportation. His dad is a complete alcoholic. literally like we're he's probably like an illegal immigrant i can't i don't know if he really is but like does not should not be here like literally barely speaks english the grandmothers are not helping no no no at all they're completely done my mom is like you cannot come in this house unless you put this man in jail my baby daddy right so like in my head i was like i can't he's been the only one there

for me through all this so when i first got pregnant i ended up getting a job at goodwill which was it was close to our house, but I had to ride a bike there because it was that far. You do understand, sorry, real quick, you do understand that this is my, this is Marischelli. This is, this is practically just his daughter. This holds. No way. Oh, yeah. Right now she lives with us.

She's got a baby. Lives with us has a baby. Baby dad, or actually her husband, they did get married, is currently in jail, waiting to be sentenced, waiting to go to prison, probably going to get. get a couple of years. She has the same thing when we're like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And she's the same things that you're saying.

She's like, no, but he's the father, my son. I want to be with him. I want my son to have a normal life. Yeah, it's like, not with this guy. This guy's going to be in and out of jail his entire life. He's already been in and out of jail. He's a kid. She wasn't 15.

She was 19, but still. Right. Yeah. Imagine going through this at 15. Oh, my God. And she's got a ton of everybody's, everybody's going out of her way. to help or I can't imagine if nobody's going to, nobody's willing to help. Actually, like, that's impossible.

During my pregnancy with my second son, I was on TikTok. And I'm posting on TikTok, you know, like me pregnant. I'm a teen mom, of course. I was pregnant with my first son at 15, pregnant with my second at 17. So I'm still a team. I'm a team mom for both my kids. Okay. I'm not even legal age yet.

What's the TikTok? Is it still up? Yes, it is. You want to see it? Yeah, yeah. What's the name of it? It's, um, I can't log into it. Unfortunately, it actually has like, like, thousands and thousands of

thousands of followers. And people at the time were, I'm talking about I had a wish list on Amazon. They ordered everything for my second son, like everything. Like I'm talking about I would wake up every morning to packages at my door and stuff. Like people cashapping me like, this is nice. This is good. You've got almost 100,000 followers. Are you still posting on this? The police took my phone for this RICO, actually. So I can't log into it. I can't log into it. I was pregnant. I was going to work. day I worked until I literally had my son. My second son, yes. I worked and wrote a bike to work every day up until I had my son.

And my baby daddy didn't do nothing. My baby daddy didn't do literally anything. He didn't work. He had a job for one day and he ended up quitting and walking out of work because he thought I was doing this, that, and the third. Boy, this sounds familiar. Like literally he's sick in the head. He's really sick in the head. Like, thinking I'm doing that and the third while he's at work and stuff. He, walked out first day, first day I worked. But he did absolutely nothing all day. Most of the time he didn't watch my kid.

He would just have his brother watch my kid. And I say my kid because he doesn't deserve it's my kid. And he was abusive in my entire pregnancy. Like the whole pregnancy, I'm talking about he would beat me so bad. I went to the hospital and said I fell off my bike. Right. Like, because he would be the one taking me in the hospital. So I was like, yeah, I fell off my bike.

Like, can you just make sure my baby's alive? Like, because I, like, it was that bad. It was really that bad. And I ended up still working and stuff, still staying with him, not making any report. Like, anytime the cops would show up from the hospital and stuff, like, I'd be like, no, he didn't do this. It wasn't happen. Visit BetMDMd casino and check out the newest exclusive.

Like, my mom, I would literally call my mom while I was at work and be like, Mom, please pick me up from work. Please take me to go pick up my son. And, like, I can't do this. He's abusive. Like, there's literally TikToks with me with black eyes and stuff, and that's why everyone was, like, so drawn to my channel at the time. Like, like, what are you doing? You're literally a team mom and, like, you're getting, like, abused.

And my first son definitely, like, has a lot of trauma from it. He does. And I feel so bad. But I was there for him as much as I could be at the time. I didn't have any support. Like, my mom, there was no, like, mom watches the kid. None of that. Like, she didn't do nothing.

and um so the so baby's born baby's born um he abused me my entire pregnancy and my baby was born healthy seven pounds like super healthy is such easy delivery everything was good and of course we go home with him and everything was okay at first and just the abuse started up again like it wasn't he didn't change he didn't care he didn't care that the babies were around. I'm talking about he would destroy everything in the room, including the kid's stuff. Like, I'm talking about the bassinet would be smashed. My, everything I owned would be smashed.

My phone would be smashed. I went through so many phones. Like, he was terrible. And this is living in the trailer that's being built by the drunk father. Yes. Okay. Like, complete drunk father. Like, sometimes you would walk out a room and see his dad, like, slump on the floor, like, completely just drunk out of there.

And my mom didn't care. I mean, maybe she cares, but she didn't care enough to get me out the situation. So then it ended up to where the abuse got so bad. How were you at this point? I was 17 still. And then, yeah, yeah, I was 17 still because then we ended up getting evicted at our house. I'm talking about evicted to where they turned off the lights on us. Like we had, I couldn't have my kids.

There were no lights. We ended up moving into his friend's house, not fit for my kids to be there at all. I had no other choice. I didn't have nowhere else for them to go. My mom wasn't trying to take them. My mom wasn't trying to take me with them. That was just no go. So we're in this household which was not fit for the kids at all was a really actually really messed up household. And my abib daddy ended up getting abusive. And now that we're around these messed up people, he had access to a firearm. So he ends up like pulling the firearm on me. And he really really, he really, almost killed me that day. And then I ended up tricking him. I was like, let's go to the store, let's go to smoke shop. I need to vape. And like after he used to always try to play cool, like he would literally cause the tears and then wipe him, you know? Right. After. So, and then after I was like, let's go to vape store, let's go. So we step outside and I hopped my phone immediately and I called the police. And he was like, are you serious right now?

I was like, yeah. And I called the police and I told them everything that happens and he just beat me up. Like my kids were in there. the house, like, come get him. And they did come get him. But then the next day, DCF showed up in my door. Right. And no questions asked. They're like, we're taking the kids. It's either you give them up willingly or forcefully. Like, so I ended up, okay, like, is there a way I can get them back? Like, what do I need to do? Going over everything. And I didn't really have a choice at the time. They were taking the kids. They're taking my kids. And that day, I had to do. I, they were taking my kids. And that day I ended up getting, after my kids got taken, I don't know what was going through my mind.

I was going crazy. And everyone around me wasn't helping and I literally ended up getting arrested for robbery that day. Like after the kids got taken. Why? Okay. So I ended up taking a drug and I ended up going out. I was going to the store. I was really going to the story to go get a drink.

And there was this Chico. And my friends were also on the same drug. So we were like, what's up? Like, let's get money. Like, I was not in the right state of mine. At all my, mind you, my kids just got ripped from it. Like, and that was, like, I was doing anything to not feel that pain at that moment. Like, I didn't know how to cope with it.

I didn't, my mom didn't care. There's nothing that could happen. There's nothing I could do at the moment. So the friends that I was with were definitely not the best. influence and we ended up robbing this Mexican that was walking home from work one day. And the police found us all and arrested me for robbery. It was actually me and two girls. And blind you, it was a plan.

The plan was to just walk to the store and go get a drink, a 7-Eleven. We're walking to the 7-Eleven and we're walking to the 7-Eleven and we're not planning on doing anything or nothing. and we're walking to the 7-Eleven, there's this drunk Mexican, and he's holding a pack of beers, he's so drunk. Like, he's, like, beyond drunk. And he's already trying to get out of us. So we're young, we're dumb. We, at the time, didn't care because we were on drugs.

And, like, I'm just like, you want to get us this hotel? You want to do this, that, and the third? Okay, well, can you go buy us this from the store? Can you give us the money to buy us this from the store? and he pulls out his wallet and he went to go like past his money to go get the alcohol

we wanted from the store as soon as he pulls out his wallet I hit him I hit him I hit him right in the face and right in the face and mind you he starts running at first and it was like downhill

it was like a steep so he's running I can't chase after him if I grab him I'm gonna go flying I'm that little the other girl I was with she's bigger

like she's way bigger than me she comes running up behind him grabs him gets him on the floor I grab his wallet and I go running. I made it back to the house. I made it back to the house. The other two girls got caught. The other girls had my phone.

This is a strong armed robbery. You didn't even have a gun? No, I didn't have a gun. Just my hands. So you get away, but they still have your stuff. Yeah. They still have my stuff. The cops show.

Mind you, my kids get taken away that day. Right. So this girl got my phone. Yeah. That's all I have to my kids right now. I don't have money to get a new phone. That's my phone. and that's the only way DCF has to contact me.

So I'm like, I have to go get this phone. I walk out there. They're already getting arrested. They aren't getting arrested. And I'm like, oh, they just had my stuff. Like, I changed clothes and everything. And they have my stuff. I just need my stuff.

Like, they have my phone and everything. They're like, okay, can you come out over here and identify this stuff and make sure it's yours? Yeah, sure. And walk out, get out the gate and stuff. Put me in handcuffs. I guess the victim identified me. because it was three girls. I was the third girl.

But we ended up beating the case because he was actually an illegal immigrant, so he never showed up to court. Okay. And then I ended up getting out, doing everything I needed to do to get my kids back. In the meantime of me, getting my kids back,

I actually did get arrested for an aggravated assault with a firearm, which I beat the case. Okay. Just stay in your ground motion. Right. So, like, that almost messed me up big time. I had to serve 60 days in jail for that.

And I really did defend myself. Like, I pulled the firearm out because I was about to get jumped. How? Okay. So, explain that situation. So I was working at a smoke shop. And I went to go pick up my check from there. And my boss basically hired this girl that don't like me.

And she had sisters and stuff. So she came outside the smoke shop. And I'm there to pick up my check. Like, my boss is there. I'm waiting outside. I'm not applying no pressure. I don't want no problems. just want my money. That's it. And she comes outside with our sisters. They're all walking up on me.

And I had my gun on me at the time. So what am I, I pulled my gun out, you know? How old are you? I was 18 or 19 at the time, 19 at the time. And you can buy a gun at 18? You could have a gun at 18. Okay. You can't buy one, but you can have one. So, but you bought one from somebody. Yes. Okay. But it was legal and everything. And I pulled my gun out because, like, I was, I was really in fear for my life. Like, right. It was four girls against me. And Mind you, I was not this big at the time. I was way smaller. So she comes at me.

I pulled the gun out. And when I pulled the gun out, they're all freaking out already on the phone with the police. She has a gun. She has a gun. I throw the gun and I take off. I run. And someone actually held me in their house. Like, literally was like, come here, come here, come here.

It's okay. And, like, took me in their house. I don't even know who these people were. Like, they were just like coming here, like, you're okay. And I hid in their house. This is a black neighborhood. How did you know? We had, Brian?

Yeah, where he had said, he's like, if you're running through, he said a white neighborhood, he said, they'll help the police. They'll try and trip you, they'll grab you, they'll say he's right here. He says, you run through a black neighborhood. And they're like, they're telling the cop, he went that way.

They're like, here, jump, hide in my house. Get in the car. I'll take you. Come on. He's trying to hide you from the cops. It was definitely black people. Okay. I'll not go lie.

And they actually put me in the room with their kid. Like, they pushed me in the room with their kid, and they're like, just be quiet, stay here, don't say nothing. I'm in the room with their kids sleeping. It's the middle of the night. And I'm like, like, I don't even know what's happening at this point. I don't know if they're setting me up or actually helping me, but they ended up actually helping me. And I did end up just getting an Uber out of there. And I left, and mind you, because I ran, it looked really bad on me.

Yeah. So they ended up putting a warrant out from me or an aggravated to stole the firearm. And they arrested me. I served 60 days in jail fighting the case. And finally, I will never forget this public defender's name. It was like Savannah Smith. And she beat my case like completely. I swear I would hire her before I hire a paid lawyer.

Like literally, she did her big one. It was a public defender. And she did the standing ground motion. And ended up getting granted. They even tried to hit me after the fact that I was still out on bond for the robbery. And I had a firearm and everything got dismissed. everything, because I had every right to do it, you know. I was in fear for my life.

And after the fact I got out of jail, mind you, I had to serve 60 days in jail for that. And not for the case, but while I was beating it, I couldn't get out because I was out. I was in there for a revoked bond. Right. So until I got that one situated, they weren't letting me out. And I ended up, after I got released and stuff, doing everything to get my kids back. And I did. I ended up getting my kids back.

And everything was going really good. I was living in one of my friends' house that I grew up with, like Christian household. Amazing. Oh, my God. I love them so much. They're amazing. But it ended up time with that they're like, you got to go. Like, yeah, like, you have to go.

And you just can't stay here forever. Right. Correct. But it was in a really short time frame. Okay. So I ended up having to move back out and things got a little rough again, obviously, because I'm still not able to support myself completely. Mind you, I don't have someone to watch my kids.

I don't have, like, I mean, I had a job, but now. since I'm moving out this house, I don't have no one to watch my kids. Right. Like, we ended up moving out that house, and one of my other friends, I ended up, like, putting me and my kids in Airbnbs every night. And we were good, but that only can last for so long. That's expensive. So now I'm having to work full-time. I had to work full-time for a hotel because now they can't supply the Airbnb anymore. My kids, thank God, we're going to daycare. I didn't have a car at the time.

So I'm literally taking the bus to take care, go to work, taking the bus to work, and then taking the bus back to go pick up my kids from daycare and then back to my hotel. So it was a lot. And then there was a hurricane that happened in between. So when a hurricane happens, like they call off work and stuff, like a really bad one. I can't remember which hurricane was, but it was one where they called off work and everything. It was like, stay in the house. So now I can't work.

Now I can't pay for my hotel. I'm still, I mean, I was literally the day DCF was supposed to sign off on my paperwork. like you're good, like you're good to go. And I called DCF on myself. I need help. Right. And I, like, was, I didn't know what to do. I had no idea what to do.

I couldn't work to make a paycheck. I couldn't pay for the hotel anymore. It's during a hurricane. There's absolutely nothing I can do. My kids can't go to school. I can't go to work. So I called DCF on myself, and I said, I need help. Like, me and my kids are homeless.

But ZCF is supposed to help you. Right. And I came about your kids. Right. Right. I'm doing it. I'm not doing nothing wrong. Right.

So what's the problem here? I just need help. Y'all are supposed to help families, right? Well, this is the family that needs help. So I call them, and they're like, you know, you making this phone car right now is going to stop your paperwork from getting signed off on and everything. So you won't be done with DCF. It's a whole other investigation brought up. What about Section 8?

Section 8. I'm still on the waiting list for Section 8. I'm still on the waiting list for Section 8. How long has that been? Since I was 15. Oh, wow. Yeah. I've been on the waiting list since I was 15 because they're like, it takes a long time.

Like, you might as well do it now. In a couple of years, you'll be good. Still on the waiting list. Still haven't heard nothing. DCF couldn't offer nothing but a hotel for like five days. They paid for my hotel for five days. After the five days. Right.

It's on your own. You figure it out. There's nothing they can do. They don't have any more expenses to help you any further. Okay. So me and my kids literally had nowhere to go at that time. So I ended up giving my kids to their grandma at the moment, like, which is my baby daddy's mom, not my mom.

My mom would not take them, which it ended up not working because she was bringing my baby daddy around my kids. And mind you, he cannot be around my kids. I got my kids back by myself. Right. And they were not letting him around the kids. That was part of the agreement. Yes, part of the agreement of them being reunited and stuff.

So I ended up taking them out of the house and putting them with family friends, which they are still with right now. I still see them and stuff, but it's just for right now, it's just better. Because at the time, once I got out that hotel, I was homeless. Right. Around Pine Hills. Like, I was still working full time. I was literally working seven days a week at a smoke shop.

I was the only employee. And he was really taking advantage of me. He was taking so much advantage of me because, like, he was not paying me most of the time. And I was the only employee. He wouldn't hire no one else. So if I didn't, if I couldn't make it to work that day, there was nobody else. It was me, seven days a week. And so I was a whole.

homeless at the time. Great news. The federal EV rebate is back. Eligible customers get up to $5,000 with the federal EVAP rebate on select 2027 Volt and 2026 Equinox EV models.

I'm taking showers in the sink at work. Like, I didn't have nothing. And I ended up,

There's this convenience store, which is in Pine Hills that I ended up going to. I bought an airhead from there, and I ended up meeting this boy, his name is Flacco, and he works there, and his family, like, owns the stores and everything. And he found me homeless, and he literally changed my whole life. He bought me a car, a BMW, and everything was going really good. And then I ended up getting put on with work at this game room. What do you even put on? You ended up getting a job at a game room?

Mm-hmm. It was like his... Does his family own the game room? Yes. Okay. So a game room isn't a gambling room. Like the hard rock. I don't think nothing of him.

I'm just like, this is a cool job? Like. Where is the game room? Is it like at a strip mall or something? It's like in a plaza. Okay. Like a plaza. Like I'm talking about like barbershop right there.

Like a plaza. Like a plaza. Like a plaza. Like a real plaza. And I don't think nothing of it. I'm just like, okay, cool. Like this is a really good job. job and I started working there because he put me on with it. And I was making a lot of money.

And of course, like, I really needed that time. It got me into an apartment. It's a lot of money. Are they paying hourly, like $20 an hour, $30 an hour? Based on tips. How much tips you make that night? Is it like $300 a night? Like $500 a night. Nice. Okay. That's good night. It's not always that. But the least you'll make in a night is $100. Okay. So let's say on average, $200, $300. So if you're working five days a week, that's $1,500. And this is cash. Yes, cash that night.

Right. That's six grand. That's a lot of money. I was going to say for, yeah, in Florida, for $85,000 a year in Florida, you can live well. Right. It's a New York. Minds you, my boss the whole time telling me this is legal, if the police come in, we're good, we're good. I swear he's telling me all this.

If we please come in, we're good, we're good. What is it, or is it like? Fish table, slot, What do you call them? Fish tables? It's just a button, the button you push? They don't have the arms, right? They don't have the arms anymore.

No, even in Vegas, they don't have the arms. They have just the button, you get the button. Yeah. So it's literally like, that's how old I am. Yeah. No, they don't do that no more. Okay. So it's the slot machines and then the fish tables, which is just like a button, you click,

and it's literally like a table like this, but it has a screen in the middle. And if you win, does it pay you right then? Yeah. It just gives you a ticket. That was my job. To cash them out. And you give them $100. They print out their ticket.

Okay, when they're ready to redeem, they'll press like redeem. The ticket will come out. We come over there because they'll yell redeem. We take the ticket. Okay, bring you this much. We'll go get the cash. Bring it to them. Just like that.

Okay. So, I know, mind you, I'm making hella money off this. Like, stupid money. I didn't even, like, what? Like, everything was good. Like, I literally got into an apartment, which is really good for my kids. my kids were like planning on coming there like everything was going really good at the moment and then one day I'm at work and mind you where we have cameras all around it because like in

case we it's in the middle of Pine Hills so in case we get robbed or something so pine hills is a bad neighborhood Silver Star never heard of it no this is or in Orlando right you know like Hot Boy like the rapper I I also Colorado Rico and I know so really yeah yeah yeah So. You know hot boy. I know hot boy. Yeah. Okay.

So him. Do they play him on WQYK country? No. Okay. You might not know. I don't know. But no. So it's like Super Star, like Pine Hills.

And so we have cameras all around it. Just in case we get robbed and mind you, sometimes I'd be the only working. Right. So like I'm a female. Yeah, you want the cameras? Yeah, I get it. Yeah. To make sure like our safety and we hold a lot of cash in there.

I see on the cameras one day, like we can see when people walk up to the door. It's literally police at the door. And I see the cameras. I'm telling my boss. Like, the police are at the door. The police are at the door. I don't know if he didn't register that.

I don't know what he was thinking or if he really convinced himself that we were okay. Right. Like, I really don't know what he was thinking at the moment, but he got right up and opened the door, gave no one no time. Mind you, he told me hold my gun in there. there. I got my gun in my pocket. He just opens the door. And the police weren't asking no,

we have a search warrant. Watch out. Like, we weren't asking no questions. We locked the other door on them. So now the police are banging that door. He's banging that door. They're all locked out. And someone ended up, there's a whole bunch of people in there, like scurrying, literally stealing money, all types of stuff. And I'm just in the bathroom. I didn't know what to do. I'm like, the police are coming in. And I literally had my gun in my house. So I go to throw my gun in the trash can. Please walk in the bathroom door. I'm talking about. Why throw it in the crash, you're allowed to have a gun. I got PTSD from the police.

Okay. No, seriously. I really have PTSD from the police. Like, there's no way going around this. You don't have a felony. Mm-mm. I didn't at the time. Oh, okay.

I didn't at the time. But I ended up, police opens the door. My hands over the trash can with a gun in my hand. All you hit is clunk. Right. Because I dropped it. And he's like, everyone, get out of here. I got the fuck about that building.

Right. I had to go, you know? I hop in my car. I have a spend license at the time, mind you. I hop in my car, and, mind you, it's 5% tent all around my beamer. I got it like that. I didn't do that. I got it like that.

And I hop in my car, and I'm sitting in there. I was like, maybe they won't see me. Like, because I kind of just slid out. Like, they didn't really see me. I kind of just stood out. I was like, let me just watch everything happen from a distance. And so I'm sitting in my car, and they ended up shining their flashlights at me, like, flashing it. I'm like, oh, no, they're coming.

from me. So I put my car in reverse. Boom. I turned around. Orange Cowrie Sheriff's Office vehicle. I just hit their car. You backed into it? Backed into it. Were they parked or just driving through the parking?

They were parked. I guess they cut my car off in the back, but I couldn't see and I was just in a rush to get out. Boom, I hit their car. Okay. Now it's six of them running at me with guns. Like guns drawn. They were not playing with me.

I put it back and drive. I cut my wheel more. hit another car, continue to pull out, and drove off. Oh, you're lucky you didn't get shot. I know. You know, the cops will step in front of your car so that they're in danger. Right, exactly. And they already found the gun and trash can I threw away.

Right. So they knew I was armed. And they, I ended up getting away that night, but they put a warrant out from my arrest in my vehicle. And my vehicle was under my boyfriend's name at the time. And it just ended up coming to me. They knew it was me. So they put a warrant out from arrest. and I ended up getting arrested for fleeing and a looting, two hit and runs,

because I hit two cars, and then drove off. And I ended up later on getting arrested for another driving with spend the license and fleeing and eluding. So how did you get – okay, so they charge you with all these charges. How did they know it's you? Do they come to your house one day, or you just drive it down the street? My apartment ended up getting at the game room, right? That's what you.

I was able to earn enough money to get an apartment, right? Yeah. So I'm in my apartment. The apartment's not under my name or nothing. It's under my boyfriend's name, but it's just also my car was under my boyfriend's name. Right. So it leads directly to the apartment. So they had undercover police out there the whole day, apparently, and I'm walking my dog.

I'm walking my little Frenchie. And this car that already peeped all day, it was like a rusty, like, blue pickup truck pulls up on me fast. And I see the door swing open. I even look to see who it was. And I pick up my dog and I start running. But I wasn't running fast. Like, I was just so in shock. I was not running fast.

They ended up, like, getting me. And they were just like, you know, like, what are you getting? They were asking me, like, questions about the camera. I was like, I don't know nothing. What are you talking about? I don't own no BMW. It's not me. And they're like, okay, well, do you know that the car you hit was this police car you're sitting in?

And then you ended up hitting another car and taking off from us. And I was just like, I think I would remember if I did that. I swear I got the whole. whole video on my phone. I think I would remember if I did that. And they're like, okay, that's it. Can I know my charges? Yeah, I told you aggravating, fleeing, and alluding? Why aggravating? Because you hit a car and then ran from the police. You actually hit a police car. Yeah, you hit, actually this police car that you're in. Okay. Do you possess? And they shut the door and it was already set in stone. Like, I was already

getting arrested there and it was me. And then I ended up. getting arrested for another fleeing and alluding because I ended up getting pulled over with spend the license again. That story is irrelevant, but now I revoked my bond for when I got arrested for the first fleeing and eluding, when I hit the police guard, the two hit and runs. So now I'm in there on a row full bond again. So now I'm in jail with this revolt bond. Okay. For the other fleeing alluding and I'm in jail for a new fleeing and eluding. And when I was in jail, they offered me a plea deal for my first fleeing eluding, which was for the gam room. And at the time, a quick way for me to get out of jail.

Like, whatever, a year probation, I'll take it. Give me it. Now... Is it a felony? A fleeing ruling cannot go... Cannot be decreased from a felony. So it's an automatic felony. But I did ask, I was like, okay, like, it's a felony, but does that make, like, where

I can't get guns and stuff when I'm, like, you know, like, off probation and stuff, they're like, actually, since it's not a violent crime, you can get guns and you can do a lot of stuff that you can't do if it was a violent. So now I take this plea for the first fleeing and alluding. And I think I'm out on bond. Yeah, they gave me a bond for the second fleeing and alluding. So now I bond out on the second fleeing alluding. The other one's not revoked anymore.

I took a plea for it for probation. So now I bond out on the new fleeing and alluding. I'm out. I literally get out. I was probably out like a month. And I'm still staying in a hotel, still like. fluctuating, but mind you, like, I have a boyfriend taking care of me now. Yeah, what happened to the apartment with the boyfriend?

We ended up getting evicted because I was arrested. Oh, okay. Yeah, they don't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I got arrested there, so. Yeah, so they clearly know that there's four cop cars in for 20 minutes. Way more, like, way more, like probably like 12, like, literally blocking the entrance and everything. So there's no going around it. Like, I'm outside in handcuffs, like, with my dog, like.

And so. Now I get out and I'm staying in a hotel and stuff again. I'm probably not even out for a month. And I start seeing everyone I was working in the game room with getting arrested for a RICO. So I look up their case on Orange County, go to clerks. I get the detective's name. I called the non-emergency line and I was like, how do I get in contact with the detective? They give me his email.

I email him. I was like, hey, my name's Lexington, Bluologic. like I see everyone like they already knew I worked there so like what's going on do I have a warrant for my arrest as well and he calls me

immediately probably like five minutes with me sending this email hey I normally don't tell people this but you do have a warrant for your arrest for Rico and like come turn yourself in

in my head I'm like I need to go see my kids before I turn myself on. Like, I mean, I'm going to get caught. Eventually, I need to go see my kids before I get caught. Like, I didn't. Did you tell him that? Because you probably could have told him that.

Like, he probably would have been like, okay, when. Because usually if you're like, hey. They raided my kid's house. Oh. They were not. They'd already raided the house. They already raided my kid's house. They were looking for me.

Everything. Like, tried to come to my mom's house, but they already knew I didn't deal with my mom. Because obviously, these police are going to know more than, like, more than anyone knows about your life. I don't know how they do it, but they knew everything. everything. So they ended up braiding my kids' house looking for me. Thank God they did it while my kids were at school. So my kids didn't know. And, but it's embarrassing. Like, the people that are taking care of them right now, like, you're just causing them more and more problems.

Right. Exactly. So like, where are my gloves? Come on, heat. Winter is hard, but your groceries don't have to be. This winter, stay warm. Tap the banner to order your groceries online at voila.com. in-store prices without leaving your home. You'll find the same regular prices online as in-store. Many promotions are available both in-store and online, though some may vary. Now these people really are not, like, Team Lex, you know? Yeah.

So now they're over here getting their house-rated because Lex is being looked for for Aureko, and that's a first-degree felony. That's a first-degree felony. That's literally so bad. And I'm like, okay, so now I'm on the run for as long as I can be. I'm so paranoid. I don't know what to do. My plan was to leave Orlando, and I didn't end up getting that far.

The car that was in ended up getting literally surrounded. They surrounded every which way they had it planned. They were watching me for a long time. And they surrounded me. They arrested me. They took me in surrogation. And I was like, I don't, y'all know more than I do at this point. Like, I worked there, yes, but I didn't know more than what it was.

I'm trying to make a paycheck, just like y'all make a paycheck. Like I'm trying to support my family, just how y'all support your family. It was nothing more than that, nothing less than that. Like, I don't know. If I knew anything else, I would probably tell you because I don't want a Rico charge. Like, I don't know nothing else. Like, that's it. Yeah, your boss is telling you that this is legitimate.

There's perfectly legal. Right. Exactly. Like, they literally told me, please come in. We're good. We're good. So my wife and her mother, I don't know if you know this, Kobe. my wife and her mother for, I'm going to say about 18 months, worked for a guy that, so there was a time when you could open up slot like little places.

She went around with her mother throughout Florida opening these places up for this guy. Right. And then it was basically like a loophole and it lasted about 18 months. This guy, they opened up like a whole bunch of these. I don't know if it was six or 12 or whatever. She's like, if we go in, rent a place, set it up. She said, get it running and go to another place, set it up. She's like, because they knew they're going to close it now at some point.

Right. But she was like, yeah, this guy, he just, this is all he did. And it was legal. At one point, it was legal. It's the exact same thing you're describing. But then eventually they said, no, you can't do that. Yeah, it's illegal. Everywhere but the hard rock.

Yeah. Why? I can't tell you. It's stupid. Dumb. Well, and because, you know, because the Seminole, because the Indians own those. So those laws don't apply on the Indian reservation, right? Right. That's it. That's the only reason. Otherwise, it's, it's. Right. And then there was some loophole where it was like, as long as the machines didn't pay you out. Like, there was some bullshit little tiny thing that they were getting away with. And it took about 18 months for the legislature, you know, and the Florida.

you know, Congress up there to say, nah, okay, we're going to put in a bill to close this loophole and they close it. Right. And now this guy's got 12 stores and they're all illegal, just like that. Yeah. So anyway, but your guy was hoping to, because it takes a while for them to catch on. We had a guy who was a, we had a guy who owned bars in Baltimore. In Baltimore.

And they would set up a machine. And you could, and it would say on the machine, this is for entertainment only. And you would play and you would win. And then if you won, you'd get a little ticket and you'd go to the bar and you'd hand it in and you'd cash, get the cash from the bartender. And he said, and it's great. Sometimes you go six months. Sometimes you go two years. And every once in a while the cops come in and they say, give me all the money and give me this and give me that.

And they take, they say. Most time it's dirty work. What's dirty work? Like as in cops will come in and take all the money and it's not a report. The first time they came in raided our game room because he got rated twice. Right. This is just the cops coming in, though. Cops came in, took all the money and everything.

Nobody got charged with anything. Right. So he also said that happens, by the way. Or they, and they'd come in, sometimes they'd come in and they, I forget what they said. Do they, like, show up? And I think they'd take the machines or they would break the machines or something? Take the machine out of the machine. Yeah, yeah.

Yes. That's it. And they were like, look, we'll rip this fucker open or you can come and open. And the guy, he'd be like, okay, I'm on my way. And he'd drive down there and he'd undo it and he'd give it whatever it was. He's like, because you know, just buy another one you put it in. He's like, it's like they know this. Yeah.

And he said, then they don't bother you for a year. But in the meantime, you're making $1,000 a day for a year. And then when they come and hit you, do they get $5 grand? Because they also take everything, because these are bars. They would take everything in the bar till. So the bar, like if there's $800 or $2,000, they take that. But their agreement with the bar owners is whatever they take, or damage, we fix everything.

Any fine they give you, because they would give them a fine, $800 bucks, $1,000,000. We pay the fine because they're making so much money. It don't matter. Right. He said like the next day, you stay close for a couple days. And then the next day, two, three days later, you open up again and maybe you're good for a year. Maybe it's six months, maybe it's 18.

But they were making that so much money. Exactly. So anyway, that's what your, that sounds to me like that's what your guy was hoping for. I don't mind getting shut down every once in a while. And actually at the time, when I was. it got shut down. I don't know if you heard about the Osceola sheriffs getting, it was like one of the head sheriffs.

He got. Indicted? Charged with gambling and stuff. He also had a gambling room and a whole bunch of stuff. Oh, shit. Okay. It was at the same time. We got hit with our weekgo.

It was literally right after that. So I don't know if they were trying to. It was a crackdown. So, like, I don't know if they were trying to tie it. At first, they really were trying to tie it because everyone got arrested at the same time. They were trying to tie it. with that, but they couldn't, because it really didn't have nothing to do with that. That was a whole separate thing.

And they obviously didn't have any evidence to prove that we had ties with the Osceola. Because the Osceola thing was a big deal. That was a big deal. The sheriff got paid everything. Like, it was a really big corporation. But the first time our game room got ridded, they seized $25,000 worth of cash. Didn't charge nobody. No one got charged, besides me, for the fleeing and alluding and two in runs.

But that was it. They didn't charge me with the game room. They didn't charge you, and none of that. Then it ended up getting hit again. And then that's when everyone got hit with the RICO. So now's RICO. They got all the camera footage. Now they hit done, got me in it because they got me on the cameras from when I worked

there in the past because I stopped working there when I got hit, rated the second time. Okay. So now we're all charged with this RICO and. You're locked up. Did you get, they grab you? Yeah. Okay. They raided.

Yes. They surrounded our car. They surrounded the car that I was in. Because, mind you, I was on the run for the RICO when I called the officer, and I was like, do I have a warrant for my arrest? What's going on? He said, yes, you do? Come turn yourself in.

I didn't come turn myself in. I ran. He wanted to turn myself in that day. I was like, no. I mean, I didn't tell him, no. But I was like, yeah, sure. Never showed up. And I just knew I was on the run after that.

So they ended up surrounding the car. They were watching me for a while. Obviously, this is a RICO. It's nothing they play with. Like, U.S. Marshals and everything came and got me. and they surrounded the car, they got me, they took me into interrogation, they booked me and everything,

and I'm bawling my eyes out the whole time. I'm going to jail for the rest of my life. That's a life set for $25 to life. Okay, listen, listen. That's what they said to. You sound like that right now. But the news always says that, like, so-and-so was indicted for, you know, for bank fraud.

It's punishable up to 30 years. And people like, oh, my God, he's going to get 30 years. Like, stop it. He's not, it's scale. Right. If he stole $100 million and it was his third time and he went to trial, he could get 30. Exactly.

None of that's going to happen. It all depends on your involvement and stuff. Right. And you sound like you have a minor role. You can even get a, even if you started off here and then they'll go, okay, well, these people have, you know, advisory roles. And then they have leadership roles. And then they have, you know, organizational. So you keep going.

And then you have people where you're like, okay. well, you're here. And then you go, okay, wait a minute. You have a minor role. So you start going, you can go, people think, oh, that's where you start. Well, you could also go down. Yeah, you would think so. But I mean, I just, you would think so, but I just looked up my charges and it went from

three charges to 14. To 14? Yeah, just on the 6th, on March 6th, they just granted that. Okay, so you talked to the cops. I got, oh, yeah, yeah. So I get arrested. Yeah. I go to jail.

They did. I'm actually, when I got arrested, I'm on probation. and out on bond, mind you, because I'm still out on bond for the other flaming looting, and I pled to the probation for the first slaining alluding. Right.

So I'm on felony probation and bond, and felony bond. And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, I'm gone. That's it. They're not giving me into the bond. That's it. And I get it,

I'm in interrogation, stuff, and they're like, actually, like, you're out. This all, this investigation, technically was before, or happened at the same time that the flameters, the looting happened and stuff. So they had to give me a bond.

It happened before I was on probation, before I was out on bond. It happened before all that. Okay. Because it was a pending investigation. So they granted me a bond, my jumps, they didn't violate my probation. I don't know how.

Thank God. They didn't violate my probation. They didn't revoke my old bond. They gave me a new bond, $52,000. So, yeah, that's currently what amounted out on a $52,000 bond. Who put you out on the on the who got you the bond my boyfriend my boyfriend yeah yeah it took him a while because he was actually scared to contact me while I was in there for a long time right because I mean it was people associated with him he didn't know if he could contact me right he didn't know what his involvement was at the time but they actually told me in investigation that I am a lot to contact him and stuff I try to contact him the whole time he wasn't answering or nothing mind you like this is all like I don't want to say I happen because of you to him, but I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for him, you know? Right.

So he's, I ended up writing a letter in jail, and my bunkie was actually someone that he works at the convenience stores in Pine Hills. And my bunky at the time was a customer that always was there. She's, she's homeless. She stays kind of around the store. She was always there at his store. So she was about to get out. She was about to get released.

I write a letter. I was like, hey, if I write this letter, will you give it to him when you get out, like if you're going to go there? Like, yeah. In my head, I'm like, okay. 50-50 chance. Right. Like, you probably aren't going to do this. Like, I know when I get out of jail, I'm not thinking about nobody that was in there.

I'm thinking about myself getting out. Right. So I write this letter. I give it to her. She gets released. Later that night, my boyfriend asked me on the tablet. So as soon as I seen that, I was like, he got the letter. Like, he got the letter.

And literally within two days, I was already bonded out. So I was sitting in there for probably like a good two weeks. what's the the so it's a what is going on it's my alarm i don't know why i have a bunch of alarms wow um so what is so you everybody has a is it does everybody have a tablet they give you a tablet you have to rent the tablet everyone has a tablet when you go in county okay so you have a tablet and it allows you to um it's like email people right or text people is that what it is basically email because they get it through a email but in our on our tablet it's like a text message Okay.

Yeah, but it comes through the email. Okay. Mm-hmm. All right, cool. Just wondering how it works. I know I have a friend right now that's locked up. Yeah. It's how that everyone gets it.

So what? You think I should mention Zach? No, I was trying, I was looking up, trying to think of what he's, where he's going. Was it a Belmont or what, because we were trying to figure out them. Yeah, yeah. It was wherever he was. Jacksonville area, wherever. Yeah.

So I have a buddy who's in jail right now who was on a federal probation violation and he just got, his name is Zach. His name is Isaac Allen, really. It's Isaac Allen. But he was on, he got another charge for fraud, pled guilty. This is the state. He was already on federal paper. Right.

Parole. Parole. Federal. Yeah, probation. Yeah, whatever. So it's called supervised release, whatever. Right. So he got another charge while on paper.

So he violated. So he pleads guilty to the charge, goes back to the Fed, and he has to be sentenced on the violation. Right. So everybody says their judge hates them. Everybody says that, right? Everybody says, you know, my officer hates me. The FBI agent hates me. They always do.

For the most part, most of them don't give a shit about you. Like, you're just processing paperwork. There's like, whatever. Now, if you're egregious, they see you over and over again. And then they get to a point where they're like, look, this guy's habitual. Like, I'm sick of seeing this guy. He's not, he gets out. He comes back.

He goes, that is, that is Zach's judge. And so his judge, who retired, by the way, he's retired. So, Zach goes to the Fed. He's waiting to be sentenced on his violation. His federal defender comes in and says, look, you're being sentenced on Tuesday. And he goes, who's the judge? And the judge, he says, the judge. He says the judge is judge young.

That's the one that retired. No, no, no. Whitmore is his judge. His lawyer says, the judge is Judge Young. And she goes, he's tough. He's the toughest judge we have. And he goes, as long as it's not Whitmore, because Whitmore hates my guts. And she goes, oh, no.

She's, well, Whitmore is retired. She said he's still on advisory. And so he might, so he's still, you know, he'll still advise on some of his older cases. But yeah, he won't be your judge. We already have your judge. It's Judge Young. Okay, cool. So then just before Tuesday, like on Monday, she contacts him.

She says, hey, you've been pushed back to Thursday. He goes, is it still my judge, Judge Young? And she goes, it's still Judge Young. Don't worry. You're fine. Right. He goes, okay, cool. So Thursday, he goes into court, he walks in, and he looks up, and it's Whitmore,

sitting on the fucking bench. The one that retired. The one that retired, he comes back. He comes back because he's like, I'm coming back for this guy. Right. So he's sitting there and he walks up and he said, he said, he belittled me for 15 minutes saying, you this and you this and I knew this and you're never going to change. And my favorite is his quote was he said, he said, you know, of course you said,

you understand that I'm not shocked to see you here. He said, you know why? Mr. Allen, is because a hunter is going to hunt and a fisherman's going to fish. He said, and you, Mr. Allen, are going to commit fraud. And that's why I'm giving you.

Now, the whole time, by the way, the guidelines say 24 months. He can give him 24 months. That's what he should get. Right. And that's why I'm giving you 36 months. The maximum he can give you, maximum you can get on a violation is 36 months.

Gave him 36 months. Oh, my God. And so Zach called me and told me the whole thing. And, of course, Zach is, he's laughing. I'm laughing. You know, we should be devastated by something like that. And most people would be devastated. But for Zach, and, you know, he's been in and out of jail for fraud his whole life.

Yeah. So, you know, you kind of just. Expected. You learn to roll with it. Like, once you've been locked up for three months, you've lost everything. All right. So somebody says, hey, the difference between three months and six, months, isn't that big of a deal. Why? Because after a month or two, I've lost everything. I'm

starting over whether I'm starting over in six months or I'm starting over in two years. The worst part about getting out of prison or being in prison is starting over. He's fucked either way. Right. You already got to go. Right. He thought, well, at 24 months, I was going to get out in October of this year. He is with 36 months, I'm going to get out in July. He's like of next year. Right. He's like, I mean, either way, I have to start over. Yeah. So I'm going to go to prison.

I'm going to, I'm going to walk the track. Mm-hmm. I'm going to eat. I'm going to walk the track. I'm going to watch movies. They now have tablets. I'm going to get a tablet. Matt's going to send me $300 a month, which is what I do.

Yeah. And, you know, that's just it. And I told him, I said, look, here's what I'll do too. I said, I'll mention it on a video. Yeah. And we'll put, we'll put the link in the description box. So people can go there and send you money if people want to put 20 bucks on his books or 50 bucks or 100 Anything would help so that's so I'm gonna I'm kind of that's what I'm doing right now

So if anybody wants to go in the description box and sends that 50 bucks or 20 bucks or whatever He greatly appreciate by the time this comes out we'll know where he's at and we'll have it in the description box So anyway. Yeah, it's hard time in there It's it's yeah, it's he's just a knucklehead and the worst thing is he is that he is that everybody loves the guy I love the guy I love the guy Even, but my wife, my wife loves Zach. And even my wife is like, even she's ready to give up. She's just like, this is the last time. Right.

Because you understand. You understand the last five years? He's done this twice. This is the second time. Yeah, hard-headed. It's like, you keep, what are you doing? Like, what are you doing? This don't get old.

I'm telling you. So, they talk to you. I'm just a cog in the wheel. I'm just an employee. Right. They told me it was all legit. Yeah. How am I supposed to know?

That pretty much really runs up to right now. Like, I'm just still fighting this case. Still dealing with it. Right now my kids are not with me because I'm waiting to get this case dealt with. I don't know if I'm going back. What is your lawyer saying? I have a public defender, actually. Because I can't get a lawyer unless I have to show where I got the money from.

And actually, I got another job after this. And do you know, the person who was hiring me after he hired me said, he's looking at me. He's like, I know you from somewhere. I was like, no, you don't know me from nowhere. I don't know you. No, I seen you on Orange County mugshots for the RICO. Oh my God. I'm like, I can explain, I can explain, I can explain.

So that was kind of just, I mean, they never put me on the schedule after that. Like, I mean, because my gentleman, they're trying to tell them, yeah, I got this RICO for working and now I'm trying to work again. Like, so it's like it was kind of just completely shut down. I haven't tried to get a job after that. Because I'm just, I don't know if I'm going back. I don't. But this is state, not federal. Yes, it's state.

Okay. It hasn't. It's not feds. I was going to say, you know, it's like in the feds, sometimes it's, it's your, in the feds, you're, a lot of times you're almost better off with a public defender, you know, unless you plan on going to trial or something. Are you, a lot, the federal public defenders are really good. And they make really good money.

So it's not like they're broke and they're struggling. They actually pay federal. probably defender is pretty good. But obviously you can't go to trial. It's hit or miss. Yeah, it's hit or miss with them. It really is.

But in the state, it might be worth getting. That was my first thing I asked when they took me into interrogation. I was like, because I know I used to see people come in there with like the Fed IDs. Like they had feds. Like their IDs said feds. Yeah.

And that was like you're not getting out. You're going to prison. You don't know for how long, but you're going to prison. Right. That's the first thing I asked, is this feds? Like, am I going? Am I beds?

Like, no. just stay. I was like, okay. So, I mean, I didn't find out I was getting a bond until I got booked and they told me. You sound like you have a minor charge. You have a minor charge. I hope so. I mean, I thought so what, too, until it went from three charges to 14. But you know what they did? They charge just for every single machine in there. Yeah, they're just, they're trying. They'll. Trying everything right now. Yeah. It's one of those things where they're like, if you will drop 13 charges, if you plead to this one charge. It's like, yeah, just because you fucking added a charge.

for each machine. Like, it's all, it runs, um, concurrent. Yeah. So it doesn't, like, I'll take the 13 charges, as long as I get less time. Right. Like, giving me one charge and giving me more time. Like, I can give a shit how many charges there are. And it's actually crazy.

I feel like after this whole case and stuff, and like, the police kind of, kind of got to get one-on-one with me before, like, because they never got one-on-one with me. I don't talk to the police. Like, once they really understood, like, I'm not this terrible person, y'all think I am. Right. Like, I really. I'm really not. Like, I'm just a girl.

I'm just a girl. Like, I really feel like I've been left alone. I really have. I've really been left alone. Probation, been going so... I'm about to get off probation right now. But, like, I mean, I still am fighting this case. But I feel not so targeted as I used to feel.

But I feel like they just really got an understanding. Like, I'm not this terrible person that y'all think I am. I'm not doing this down in third. I'm not a money launderer. I'm not a drug dealer. I'm none of this. Like, I'm just trying to make away from my family. That's it.

Helping? I really appreciate you guys watching. Thank you very much. See you. Do you love dogs? Of course you do. So join me, Rich Napolitano, and listen to the Doggone History Podcast.

When you talk to someone about their dog, you have probably seen the sparkle in their eye, heard the joy in their voice, and felt the love in their heart. People, including me, talk about their dogs like their children, because that is how we see them. They are members of our families,

our households, and they give us joy that enriches our lives. We have come to know and love chihuahuas, beagles, and German shepherds, and all the dogs that have been at our side as our best friends. But they weren't always as we know them today. Dog breeds have evolved over time and taken on a vast diversity of characteristics. Listen to Doggone History, a lighthearted history of dogs, one breed at a time. Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And say hi to your dog for me, won't you?
