Anzhelika and David now out jail after being arrested for trying to save Anzhelika’s friend’s cat from the fire… why didn’t he just get a warning? He has a broken collar bone and he got arrested and handcuffed and hurt more… spent his whole paycheck on bail out money and I watched the bailman counting cash right there behind the glass window… Montgomery County Jail is not part of the Bail bond system and that is run by the City of Dayton… listen to person on video behind glass inside. Peace!
