Every Officer's Worst Nightmare When Responding To a Domestic Dispute

On November 19th, 2022, Officers were dispatched to an apartment for a report of a battery occurring between a couple in Skokie, Illinois. They were advised that the suspect, later identified as Devonier, was currently trying to strangle his girlfriend. When officers arrived, they could hear screaming coming from the apartment and his girlfriend screaming "Help me!" repeatedly.
Devonier was arrested for felony, aggravated battery to an officer, and misdemeanor domestic battery. The misdemeanor domestic battery charge on him was dismissed in court; however, he was found guilty of aggravated battery to an officer and was sentenced to a two-year probation.
Since this arrest, Devonier has been arrested seven times for domestic battery, and his girlfriend, Melissa, has been arrested twice for domestic battery.

[@MariaStHilaire-k3o]

[@ambrr_lily]

​@@martibee8984Even if charges are dropped, making the arrest and separating the parties can save lives. It also creates a paper trail so eventually the victim can get a restraining order, as well as the police can keep track of the problematic couples like these. DV results in a lot of injuries and deaths, of the responding officers as well. It's an enormous problem and very high risk. Convictions are the LAST concern. It's about safety.

Every domestic charge dismissed Everytime it's brought to court, despite the multiple calls and evidence.... There is no justice in the justice system 👎🏾

[@IratePuffin]

Yup. That’s more often than not what happens when the “victim” refuses to cooperate with the prosecution. I’d be willing to bet that, after he was bonded out and they’d kissed, made up and bonded over their “poor us, the police are such bullies” victim narrative, she signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which is her basically saying “this was all a mistake. I don’t want to press charges.” Doing so won’t make the DA immediately dismiss the case but it can matter when it comes to the DA’s decision to offer a plea deal or to take the case all the way to trial. In most states, the DA doesn’t need the victim to press charges in order for someone to be arrested and charged with DV because it’s pretty common for the victim to change their minds or refuse to cooperate. Because the officers can choose to press charges, the state doesn’t need her to testify to convict, especially if there are other witnesses. That said, it makes the DA’s job more difficult and could’ve actually resulted in this guy being acquitted after tons of money and time have been spent on his prosecution, or it could’ve gotten his entire case dismissed before it ever made it to trial. She said she didn’t want to press charges and I’m sure she wouldn’t cooperate with the prosecution so, chances are, the plea deal was the best possible outcome in this case because it’s better than all of the charges being dismissed. As for the other 7 cases, probably the same exact thing! Unfortunately, nearly ever DA in the country is HEAVILY overworked. Their cases are piled so high that they plea out more cases than they prosecute. People like this guy get one deal after another until someone is lying in the morgue.

I completely disagree. So first, victims of domestic violence don't get to decide ti press charges or not. It's required by the state and I believe every state in the country has embraced that practice. Second, it's fine if someone calls for help but chose not to press charges. Officers are keepers of the peace so they absolutely can separate parties without charging anyone.... as long as it's not a domestic issue. Like a regular assault and battery on someone you arent related or lives with you, there's nothing wrong with calling the cops to help in that moment without pressing charges.

Domestic disputes are the most dangerous situations where cops are injured or killed.

[@HiramAbiff369]

I saw a domestic violence incident where the cops were shot up for talking to the woman…

[@HMonkey1135]

@@rosiejimenez3953 That is true, however this current video is absolutely not every officer's worst nightmare. Every officer's worst nightmare in the day Sacramento PD Officer Tara O' Sullivan was murdered when responding to a domestic abuse call. She was actively saving a young woman when the two responding officers were ambushed by the suspect and O' Sullivan was m*rdered with a rifle. THAT is the worst nightmare.

[@rosiejimenez3953]

@HMonkey1135 the fact remains that you have no idea what you will be encountering when you respond to these types of calls. At that point, you imagine it to be a nightmare until the situation is resolved, hopefully in a peaceful way. I know because I experienced this every time I was sent on a call like this. My department lost several officers, and others were injured. 2 kinds of calls we hated: domestic disputes and calls concerning children.

[@tga22]

BOTH SHOULD BE ARRESTED 1. Calling 911 and she stating “he is choking me”, 2. Her shouting he killing me while the officers are standing (arriving) at the close from door of their apartment and continuing to say that was choking her while the officers standing in their apartment. The judicial system is failing at their job some of the charges were dismissed and got probation and he continues to assaulting her and charges are dismissed. WHAT DOES IT TAKE A DEAD BODY?👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@shimmer8289]

Whats wrong with the judges 8 total domestic battery charged dismissed because a mentally ill (evident) woman takes it back once police arrive and gets him off her? So he was innocent in each and every case cmon they are being paid 100000s of dollars to turn their heads. A disgusting judicial system.

they should not be talking to them both in the same room -

[@ghostboy6420]

seems like it isnt the first time these officers have been here, if she doesn't want to press charges or state anything against him then that just isn't changing 5th time around it seems as though they know that hes a Scheming dude and will string a web of lies so getting to him before he knows exactly what to say to police is crucial.

[@BeardedBushMan81]

You should ask to speak to these officer's manager then, Karen. 😃

[@katherineduke3232]

You're right. Protocol is to separate parties and speak to them away from each other. This is especially true in domestic violence situations so victims can't be manipulated or intimidated by their attacker. Makes no sense that they left them in the same room to interview them.

[@LV2UXO77]

Missing the point... She's most likely too scared to press charges knowing he'll come after her, It's all too common with females in abusive relationships, who know that the police can't protect them once the man is out of jail for domestic violence, once he's out, and she's found, 99% of the time, end up dead. A "Protective Order," isn't going to stop an abusive man from killing the woman he abuses, the police can't be with her 24/7, and certainly not a piece of paper that says, protective order. Sadly, many women know that Filing a restraining or protective order doesn't do anything but only makes their abuser more aggressive and angry.
