Hosts Mo and Martin recount a real case they worked: a domestic violence strangulation where neighbors’ calls led deputies to force entry, rescue a screaming victim, and arrest the suspect. The episode covers the scene, injuries, and the immediate actions taken on the call.
The hosts also discuss report-writing, legal thresholds for forced entry and charges, bystander intervention, and resources for victims, offering a practical look at how these calls play out in real life.
Takeaways: Bystanders matter—neighbor intervention can create a rescue window. Trust audible distress; call for help rather than “waiting it out.” Documentation matters—photos, written statements, and contemporaneous notes. Resources (US): National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233; in immediate danger call 911. If you hear something like this tonight, don’t debate it alone—call.

Dave Tarbox returns to Street Tales to explore what life looks like after a major comeback — moving from addiction, crime, and prison into recovery, family life, and entrepreneurship. The episode focuses on the everyday realities that don’t make the highlight reel: routine, setbacks, depression, triggers, and the small wins that sustain progress.
Through candid conversation the hosts and Dave discuss practical tools (gym, networking, routines, and breaking tasks into steps), how relationships are repaired, the lingering guilt and memories, and simple advice for someone in crisis: take it minute by minute and give yourself today.

This episode is a compilation of some of the military veterans that have been guests on the Street Tales Podcast and provides highlights to some of their experiences and stories. We explore the overlap between military and law enforcement culture—why many Marines become cops, how infantry experience translates to intelligence and federal work, and the challenges of interagency cooperation. Guests talk training philosophies, tactical medicine, and adapting to civilian roles. They also share candid stories about family, faith, mental health, retirement, and finding new purpose after service.
This episode does not capture all of the military veterans that have been on the Street Tales Podcast as quite a few were on during our audio days, and we are excited and working to have them back on!
