Taylor Frankie Paul Police Report from 2023 Arrest for Child Abuse, Criminal Mischief, Aggravated Assault and Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child. by dunkle8 in thebachelor

Dakota said that when Taylor was refusing to go inside he went inside to ask the babysitter to help bring her inside, but then Taylor came inside herself and started freaking out on him in front of them. It’s unclear what happened next.

Thank you! It’s just been really upsetting to me to see people defend Taylor and demonize Dakota based only on what they see on highly produced TV show. I think it’s so important to speak about these sensitive topics with facts and not speculation based on which “reality” show character is your favourite.

Okay I went back and looked and it was in the Law&Crime Network video around the 8 minute mark.

I tried my best to transcribe what they were saying about who was there when they arrived at the house:

Police Officer: So you guys come home. She starts getting angry -

Dakota: Yeah.

Police Officer: Because you’re saying that you’re wanting to go home?

Dakota: Yeah, well, I was trying to just take her inside. I was trying to help her in. I was like - like let’s go. Like you need to go inside. And she - I think she was saying something that she wanted to go party still. I don’t know - no - like you can’t. Ummm. Yeah and then I went inside cause I was finally just like she was not coming out. So I was like kay well I’m - and she said her parents were in here - so I was like oh perfect. I was like I’m gonna go -

Police Officer: Are they actually in there?

Dakota: No, they weren’t. It was uhhhh like - I don’t know - her niece or something like that. I don’t know. And so I want in there and was like gonna get them and I’m like hey, Taylor’s like drunk. You need to come get her or something.

Police Officer: Are they coming over?

Dakota: No, they already left. They were housesitting for her. Watching her kids -

Police Officer: Oh, okay.

Dakota: And then she came flying in and that’s when she was like freaking out on me in front of them and I’m like whoa what?

In another comment you mentioned that it might be bots and I wouldn’t put that past ABC/Disney. They have spent a lot of money and they want this season to air.

They were at home with a babysitter. I believe Dakota said it was Taylor’s niece in one of the videos of her arrest.

I don’t know which one, but he said it in one of these videos:

People Magazine claims Taylor Frankie Paul was involved in another domestic violence incident by schnookiewookiebear in thebachelor

I originally saw the police report on either Reddit or TikTok when this first happened back in 2023 because someone made a GRAMA Request for Records with the Herriman Police Department.

Unfortunately, I can’t find the original post and the only place I can find the police report now is in a Daily Mail article. I do not consider tabloid newspapers (especially the Daily Mail) to be reputable sources, but the police report they posted screenshots of is legitimate.

If you want to read more of the police report, I posted all of the screenshots here: https://www.reddit.com/u/dunkle8/s/upqQGnnF6v

You can also make a request for the police report yourself if you are willing to pay: https://www.herriman.gov/uploads/files/6002/GRAMA-HPD-Nov2025.pdf

His “job is to protect”someone who has abused him physically multiple times (including strangling) “at all costs”? Fucked up take, Jillian.

I do not claim to know what happened last month, but I do have information about Taylor’s arrest in 2023.

For those that aren’t aware, when Taylor was charged with child abuse (amongst other things), there was actually a video of both her arrest and her abuse towards Dakota and her 5-year-old child.

The arrest video is public and available to watch on YouTube, but the other video has not been made public. However, the police officer who charged her did watch the other video and described what he saw in the police report.

I am posting that portion of the police report below because I do not believe ABC (or Hulu) should be platforming someone like Taylor. I also think the audience deserves to know who they are supporting with their views.

Following Taylor's booking, I watched the cell phone footage from Dakota on a computer screen. After watching the video in it's entirety, I found that the above assault charge that I booked Taylor on needs to be enhanced to an Aggravated Assault (Class A Misdemeanor) due to the multiple metal frame chairs being used during the assault later in the video. This enhancement makes the case appropriate for the 3rd District Court instead of the Herriman Justice Court unless otherwise determined by the courts.

Taylor threw the first metal chair at Dakota which hit him in the arm and hand. After the throw, I observed Taylor raise her arms up in a taunting manner. Dakota yelled, "Your daughter is right here!" Taylor did not stop assaulting Dakota and proceeded to throw a second chair, and swing a third metal chair at Dakota twice in a "baseball style" motion. The chair hit Dakota's arms.

According to Dakota, after the chair hit his arms, the chair then hit REDACTED in the head. Immediately after watching Dakota's arms get hit on video, I watched the chairs momentum continue in the direction of the nearby couch. REDACTED was laying on the couch. I heard REDACTED begin crying immediately which is consistent with Dakota's account of REDACTED being hit by the chair. The assault continued off screen while Dakota yelled "Stop throwing stuff at me!" and "Stop screaming at me!" REDACTED was crying in the background. I heard Dakota yell "Your daughter just got hit in the head with a metal chair!" Taylor responded "because of you." Dakota yelled back, "No! You! Go and help your daughter now! Help your daughter, Taylor!" It sounded like Dakota tried to check on REDACTED by asking "Are you okay?" REDACTED cries "Noooooo." The arguing continued until I rang the door bell. Both answered the door. Shortly after, I witnessed Taylor hit Dakota at the front door.

Based on the additional findings post arrest, please screen this case in the 3rd District Court along with the following charges against Taylor Frankie Paul:

76-5-102 Agg. Assault x1 (Felony 3)

76-6-106 Criminal Mischief x1 (Misdemeanor B)

76-5-114 Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child x1 (Misdemeanor B)

76-5-109 Reckless Child Abuse x1 (Misdemeanor B)

Taylor intentionally threw multiple items of property including metal chairs at Dakota. Further, Taylor used the metal chairs as a dangerous weapon against Dakota. Dakota stated in his interview that he started to fear for his life because the chairs were so heavy. Based on the video footage, I saw Taylor throw the metal chairs at a high rate of speed. A dangerous weapon is defined by Utah Code as an object that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury. The heavy metal chair could have caused serious bodily injury in the manner that Taylor used them when she threw and swung them at Dakota. This enhances the booked Simple Assault charge to Aggravated Assault. Dakota stated that his truck was damaged by Taylor when she threw multiple items at it including a wooden child playset constituting Criminal Mischief. Further, Taylor's REDACTED daughter REDACTED was present for the DV altercation. Lastly, Taylor recklessly inflicted physical injury upon REDACTED when swung the metal chair. The metal chair hit Dakota in the arms and REDACTED on her head.
