Police body camera footage from the domestic battery arrest of 90 day fiance star Thais Mendes has been released. The video includes officers at the scene talking to Thais and Patrick.
In the footage (included below), Thais is seen holding her 3-year-old daughter Aleesi as she talks to the body camera-wearing officer.
Thais explains to the officer that she paid for her and her daughter to go to Brazil to see her family. “(Patrick) said he was going to let her go,” Thais says. “But then I was out yesterday for my birthday and he found out and he was like going crazy.”
She says Patrick changed his mind and wouldn’t let Aleesi make the trip to Brazil. Patrick took Aleesi to Thais’ apartment to say goodbye and things escalated.
The policeman tells the Thais to make Aleesi go somewhere else. Aleesi runs away, then Thais is arrested. “I didn’t do anything,” Thais pleads with the officer.
“He’s got scratches on his face and there’s a video of you hitting him,” the officer replies.
Thais start tearing up as the officer answers questions about the booking process and bookkeeping.
The officer then speaks to Patrick, who summed up the incident by saying:
I just filed for divorce and granted her a preliminary injunction. She’s going to Brazil today…And she tried to take the daughter. I said she couldn’t. So I came over to say goodbye to her. Um, she attacked me, punched me in the face. That’s pretty much it.
Here is the full video:
As Starcasm was the first to report, the offense domestic battery charge against Thais was later dismissed when the DA’s office chose not to press charges.
