was that?
>> September-ish, maybe?
>> Judge Judy: May I see the
petition that you filed or the
complaint you made
which caused him to be arrested?
>> There was two separate --
>> Judge Judy: Mr. Dejong,
did you tell her how much it
would be to paint her truck?
>> Not necessarily since I was
all new to the program.
I don't know the price of paint,
clear coat, the process --
>> Judge Judy: So tell me
what discussion you had with her
about painting her truck.
>> I was just a pay-as-I-go
kind of program.
>> Judge Judy: What does that
mean?
>> Well, she was to buy the
paint, and if I had the
sandpapers, 'cause there was
multiple --
>> Judge Judy: Who bought the
paint?
>> She did.
The $750 was just
for the labor itself.
>> Judge Judy: Well, when did
you make --
Just a second. Be careful.
So far, we're doing okay, you
and I, not so much she and I,
but so far,
you and I are doing okay.
When did you discuss the $750
for the labor with her?
>> From the beginning,
I'd assume.
>> Judge Judy: No.
"Assume" is not --
"Assume" is not, sir,
what I'm looking for.
>> Well, it would be at the
beginning of the whole process.
>> Judge Judy: Now I don't
believe you.
Now I don't believe you.
Did you place flyers
around the neighborhood
with her picture
on it and her name
and her date of birth
and that she was a felon?
Sir?
>> I placed 10 flyers
in the neighborhood --
>> Judge Judy: So the answer is
yes.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Police saw a lot
of nasty texts that you sent
her, sir, that you planned on
making her life miserable, that
you were going to disrupt the
neighborhood so she would get
evicted.
>> Those texts were seen
from her phone, not mine.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
whose phone that they were from.
>> Well, she's a spoofer.
>> Judge Judy: What is that?
>> That means it's a Google app
to where she can make it change
a text message.
>> Judge Judy: Let me ask you
this question, Mr. Dejong.
I haven't finished reading
all of this yet.
Did you ever speak
to the police?
>> Absolutely.
>> Judge Judy: Did you send that
text message to her?
>> I don't know which one you're
specifically talking about.
>> Judge Judy: The one that said
you were coming honking
down the street.
>> Oh, no. I didn't.
I was coming.
There was no doubt in my mind
I was going there,
but I didn't put that honking
and blaring my horn
and screaming out the window.
That was added to it.
>> Judge Judy: But you just
did it?
>> No. I didn't do that.
I went to her house, correct.
>> Judge Judy: And did you honk
the horn?
>> When I was at her house,
not coming all the way
down the street
like that states.
>> Judge Judy: Were you all
drinking?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Do you take
drugs?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Did you give her
buffer back?
>> No.
>> Yes.
She got it back
after that incident.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> The police,
when they come into my house,
they didn't take it
from me that day
because they read the text
and realized that it --
>> Judge Judy: You gave it back
to her, is what you're saying?
>> In the long run, but not that
night when the police report
was made.
>> Judge Judy: When did you
give it back to her?
>> When I got out of jail,
I'd assume, because they took me
to jail that night,
but they left the buffer
in my possession at the house.
>> Judge Judy: I'm asking you a
question.
When did you give
the buffer back to her?
>> I don't know the date,
but she had gotten it
back after that.
>> Judge Judy: Who gave it
to her?
>> I did.
>> Judge Judy: Where did you
give it back to her?
In her house?
>> I'd assume either her house
or mine.
I don't really remember.
>> Judge Judy: You got some --
>> She ended up
with the buffer back.
I don't -- That's all I know.
>> Judge Judy: [ Snickers ]
>> I don't remember
if I took it back to her
or if she come and got it.
At that point in time,
the buffer was the least
of my worries after the charges.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
Well, evidently, you two
have this ongoing fighting,
then getting back together
and then fighting
and getting back together.
So, after May, when you did,
in fact, file a report against
him that there was an
altercation and probably, based
on that, your report
that there was an altercation
with her ex-boyfriend.
"Broken up weeks ago,
showed up at her door
and talked her
into spending the night.
Everything was fine.
She told him
he had to return home.
His attitude changed.
He grabbed her phone
and wouldn't return it.
She said
she went to grab her phone,
and that's when he shoved her,
causing her to fall.
She had scrapes on her hands,
bruises on her legs."
And so based upon this
May report,
there was an outstanding warrant
for his arrest.
But then you're having dinner
in September in your house.
He's there painting
your car in July.
You probably forgot that there
was an outstanding warrant
[Laughing] for his arrest,
and you called the police
because
he was honking the horn out
in front of your house
because he wanted this alleged
$750 for painting the car.
The police come.
They check him out.
They find a May arrest warrant,
and they took you to jail
on this old arrest warrant.
Now, you had had dinner
in her house, right,
that night when you went there?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: You both say
that you had dinner
in each other's houses.
Correct?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Correct.
Has it been a long time
since you saw each other, or did
you see each other 2 weeks ago?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Good.
>> It's been a while.
>> Judge Judy: Are you finished
with each other?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: I'm finished
with the two of you.
Your case is dismissed.
Same with your counterclaim.
Goodbye.
>> Byrd: Parties are excused.
You may step out.
>> So he came over to my house
at 1:00 in the morning,
honking his horn, jumped out,
jumped my privacy fence.
>> Falsely been imprisoned
by her lies.
>> He was banging on my window,
and I assume that was his gun
because it wasn't just
a knock with finger.
>> Telling the police
I threatened her
with it and shoot her.
>> And they filed charges,
and they went and arrested him.
>> I can't.
She's a stalker.
She'll find me.
>> Like he says, I'm a stalker,
which I am not.
He's psycho.
>> Move to Alaska.
>> Stay away from him.
