“There was this one time I was dating this guy and we were going on a date. We were in his car driving; this is back in New York and he crossed the red light and the police tried to stop us to give us a ticket and he didn’t want to stop the car. I was like stop the car, why won’t you stop the car?

“He said no, I can’t stop and the car and I’m like why? He said the car is stolen I was in a stolen car with this guy and I didn’t know he was an ex-convict and I didn’t know anything

“So he didn’t stop the car, he kept driving and now one police car became four police cars. He eventually slowed down, hopped out of the car and left me in the car…I got arrested and they gave me a breakdown of who this guy was. He was wanted for attempted robbery and so many things but I was young so they didn’t really keep me,” she narrated.
