- Señora, ¿usted es Amanda?- Sí señor.- Bueno, su esposo habló. Tiene una mordida que usted le hizo aquí en el brazo.- Nada, no era nada.- En el estado de Tejas, es encontra la ley que gentes que viven juntas, esposos, hermanos, no le hace qué, si viven juntos en la misma casa y cometen violencia de uno al otro, nosotros los oficiales, tenemos que arrestar. So, ahorita usted está arrestada por asaltando su esposo. Tiene que voltearse por favor y poner sus manos para tras. ¿Usted no tiene alguna arma, o pistola o navaja? En este momento voy a esculcar para estar seguro.

- Ma'am, are you Amanda? - Yes sir. - Well, your husband talked to us. He has a bite that you gave him here on his arm. - It wasn't anything. - In the state of Texas it is against the law when people who live together, spouses, brothers, if they live in the same house and commit violence one to another, as officers we have to arrest. So, at this time you are arrested for assaulting your spouse. You have to turn around please and put your hands behind you. Do you have any weapons, a knife or pistol? At this time I will check to make sure.
