As police talked to the suspect female, the male yelled at officers and became aggressive toward police yelling “this is [expletive], you can’t do anything!” He initially denied filming the incident but began to type on his phone and the police, believing he was erasing the evidence, asked for the phone, telling him he would be obstructing police otherwise, to which he replied “take me to jail then” and again continued to type on his phone, at which point police attempted to seize it as evidence. The male then tossed it to another female and officers placed their foot over it so one one could get it. The male told police he knows both of the females, but usually hangs out with the suspect and was with her before the assault and fled with her after, which led police to believe he knew the assault was coming. After his mother arrived and told police that he wants to hang out with the cool kids and acts tough in front of them, the male admitted to filming part of the fight.
