Police Report Paints Wild, Taser-Filled Scene at 'Sextuplets' Dad's Arrest

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 21st 2010 08:00PM

'Raising Sextuplets' dad Bryan Masche's arrest earlier this month began with an argument with wife Jenne over where to take the children on a trip and quickly escalated into an aggressive verbal argument that crossed into scary territory after police were called.

New details have emerged in the Sept. 11 arrest of Masche, 32, who pleaded not guilty to domestic violence, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after spending a night in jail in Camp Verde, Arizona.

According to police at the scene, Masche was taken into custody after he was threatened with a Taser and refused to be handcuffed. "I didn't do anything!" he said, claiming his rights were being violated and that "domestic violence had not occurred" during the argument between him and Jenne.

That argument began at 2 p.m. at a house they were staying at 99 miles north of Phoenix.

"Dispatch advised that the incident was verbal at the time, however the suspect ... was becoming more aggressive, and that there were firearms in a vehicle," according to a police report.

The argument boiled over when Bryan found out that Jenne wanted to take their children (Savannah, Bailey, Grant, Cole, Molli and Blake) to Phoenix, while he wanted to drive 200 miles to a town near Lake Havasu, where they once lived. The family currently resides in Florida.

"Jenny did not know if Bryan planned to return with the children," says the report, adding that this is when Bryan began yelling and using profanities in front of the children. At no time is noted in police reports that Bryan ever became physical with his wife.

Police were called but Bryan grew belligerent and refused to be subdued. "Bryan locked and held his arms in front of his body in a manner to prevent them from behind secured," the report says. He was threatened with a Taser

"Bryan complied prior to the Taser being deployed," the report says. "Bryan was then assisted back to his feet and escorted to my vehicle where he was secured. While in my patrol vehicle, Bryan continued to be belligerent."

Back in 2009, Bryan and Jenny admitted that raising six young children was difficult and caused a lot of tension between them. "We have totally brutal fights," Jenny told PEOPLE.

The couple were a "work in progress" and hoped to work through their marital problems. "When you understand that there's no way out of marriage, that forces you to work on your marriage. If we're going to be stuck with each other for the next 80 years, we better make it good," Bryan added.

Masche posted a $3,500 bond a day after the arrest and he pleaded not guilty to three counts of domestic violence involving disorderly conduct and threats, and a single count of resisting arrest. He is due back in court Oct. 7 for a pretrial conference.

and take her stupid mother with her!!!!!

By aglny

Lindsay desperately needs TREATMENT, NOT SIMIMPLY CONFINEMENT.
She is sick.

She should be mandated to check into Betty Ford for nine months,
not a day less.

Ditto Paris Hilton.

One day it will be all gone for these two and they won't even
know what hit them.

They NEED HALP.

I absolutely agree. Jail won't help her one bit. She needs to be in a residential treatment center for a year, preferably with a Christian-based program. She needs to realize that there is someone outside herself who is bigger and stronger than her who can help her; all she has to do is ask. I've seen such treatment facilities and they have the best "success" rates in the country. By "success", I mean that the patient has been clean for a year. I don't know the program methods at Betty Ford but I've heard that it a wonderful facility.

She needs to be in one of the programs with good statistics. The Christian-based help centers like AA only have roughly a 5% success rate. There are many non-faith based programs that have upwards of 70% success rate, and that's what she needs.

By Tetas

Christian based?. LOL. I thought you wanted to help her until I read that. You might as well push Hoodoo.

By Sally

Dude - mug shots aren't publicity photos and getting arrested is nothing to smile about.

Oh wait -- he probably thinks this means "More 'reality' tv work for me!! Yippeee!!!"

No physical violence and he was arrested??? No wonder he contested constraint. If this is how they define domestic violence in Arizona, they better start building more prisons...alot more prisons! They may have to lock up 2/3rds of the state! Both Husbands and Wives...

By ckava3

The REAL STORY here is, why is a man being ARRESTED for having a simple arguement with his wife!?!?!!! Last time I checked, there was no law against arguing w/your wife. We all should be appalled that this man was arrested for doing NOTHING wrong. I don't care who he is. It's time the Police learned they are not our 'guardians' & quit illegally arresting people because 'they want to'.

By Irish mist

Match him up with the oh so wild Kate. they see a good couple.

By JstKAT

Thank you !!! Have you folks watched the show??? His is very rude and verbally abusive to his wife!!!!

By Frank Ingram

Camp Verde is not 990 miles from Phoenix.

By RM

No kidding...where is that...Montana???!!!???

By leni

No, Camp Verde is not 990 miles borth of Phoenix, obviosly a typo as the correct mileage is 91 miles. Maybe they thought it's 99.
But about this moron, the smugshot says it all. To those who thought he shouldnt have been arrested......reread the report, it says "domestic violence involving disorderly conduct and threats" It doesnt say he hit her. If he had co=operated he probably wouldnt have been arrested on this misdemeanor charge. They took him in to keep the couple apart until he cooled off. If she had a brain in her head she would have disappeared before he got out. ive encountered this couple and its obviously only a matter of time before he follows through on one of his vicious threats.

By Maryann

Jenne should make a bee line out of that marriage. It's doomed! You're never "stuck" in a marriage. Those poor children will only suffer from the turmoil. I've seen their show several times and Bryam Masche has a terrible, terrible temper!!!!! The arrest doesn't surprise me at all.
