- And threatened her life.
She writes in her own hand:
“Today, Aug 3, 2020, My husband took my phone around 1:00am, and in the morning he wanted to take my car, but I told him I was going to go out with my kids. He then got angry. I went upstairs to make food for my kids but he turned off the stove
and told me I wasn’t going to cook anything for him until I gave him my key. Then I try to go back to the basement & he had locked 2 of my kids in the room, and the baby was sleep in the crib. I could hear them crying. I looked for help but no one was home. I then went to the car & found phone — was able to call 911. I try to return inside but he locked all doors. After 5 min waiting for police, he opened the door and told me to give him the keys.
I again try to make food for my kids because I could hear them crying/screaming. I told him to let me go downstairs but he blocked the door. I went to look out the window & I saw someone walking. I opened the door & yelled for help. When my husband heard, he grabbed me back inside & slapped me.
Police came. He acted violent with them & broke my phone in front of officer. This is not the 1st time. It been a couple of occasions he takes my phone and car & I’m left without be[ing] able to call anyone. I have photos of all the houses he’s left on my body. In my house is broken TVs, my son’s tablet, my car windshield, phones. Me & my kids are afraid now. He kicked me, pushed me, slapped me in the face. Threaten me, I also have a recording that he told my ex-mother-in-law that even if he kills me, no one can do anything to him.”
Still, he was released.
