Once he arrived at the scene, Deputy Cash spoke with the father who said that he was sick and tired of his two children living with him and not working while they rack up $1,000 in bills. He claimed his daughter was disrespectful to him when he told her “To get out of his house and go on the porch.” He admitted to threatening to “Knock her teeth down her throat,” as his parents would have done him, but he denied having laid hands on his daughter. He also told Deputy Cash he wanted his children to get jobs and stop relying solely on him to support them. The daughter mostly corroborated her father’s story, telling Deputy Cash that her father did not hit her, but her father did tell her to get out of the house and when she refused, he pushed her onto the porch. Declining to press charges, the daughter was given a ride by Deputy Cash and Sgt. Melton to the home of her sister. Case closed by means other than arrest.

WADESBORO — At 4:27 a.m., Sgt. Ryan Melton and Deputy Isaac Cash were out on patrol when they became suspicious of a gray Toyota Corolla driving erratically and ten miles below the posted speed limit on Highway 74. Sgt. Melton states he observed the vehicle move left to center 3 separate times while the driver applied their brakes 4 to 5 times, all within a range of 3 miles. Seeing all he needed, Sgt. Melton turned on his blue lights, initiating a traffic stop on Avery Rd. Not entirely on board with stopping, the driver ran over a concrete divider before bringing the corolla to an eventual stop in the middle of Avery Road. While Sgt. Melton called the incident into dispatch, Deputy Isaac Cash approached the vehicle. After rolling down the window, the driver identified themselves as Suri Gisel Bavtista. With the window now down, Deputy Cash noticed an overwhelming odor of alcohol. Sgt. Melton reported observing that the female driver’s eyes were glassy. As Bavtista was unable to speak any English, Deputy Galvan was called to the scene to translate. She explained to him that she had been drinking earlier while at church, with her last drink of alcohol being reportedly at 12 p.m. After agreeing to and failing a field sobriety test, Bavtista was then given a preliminary breath test which indicated the presence of alcohol. Following a visit with the magistrate, Bavtisita was charged with driving under the influence, driving left to center, no operator’s license, and a child restraint violation. Case closed by arrest.

Deputy Mullis then spoke with her uncooperative husband, with reports indicating the husband stated the dog his wife was referring to was his and he paid for it, and furthermore he would not be giving the dog back at this time. The husband denied stealing his wife’s car keys, saying they could be found in the corner of their living room by the couch. Deputy Mullis then got back in touch with the wife, explaining that the property in question is “marital” and thus he could not return any of the items to her. Deputy Mullis advised that he could not keep the husband from the residence but if he returned causing a disturbance to call dispatch immediately. Case closed by means other than arrest.
