SUNRISE, Fla. — Local 10 News obtained an arrest report detailing a domestic violence case that preceded a police pursuit involving a suspect in Sunrise that ended in a rollover crash in Fort Lauderdale and left several people hurt.

Sunrise police identified the suspect as 24-year-old Thomas Jamaine Roberson.

On Thursday, the victim told police about a domestic violence incident involving her boyfriend, Roberson, with whom she had been in a relationship for five to six months, according to the report.

Police said the victim is about 10 weeks pregnant with Roberson’s child, and the two lived together as a family.

The victim said that around midnight Thursday, she asked Roberson to return her cellphone after the couple got into an argument at a home in Sunrise.

Roberson initially denied having the phone but later retrieved it from under a pillow inside the home they shared, the report states.

Shortly after, police said Roberson left the home and took the victim’s vehicle, which was registered to her grandmother but in the victim’s care, along with her cellphone and other property.

About an hour later, they said Roberson returned to the home but refused to give the phone back.

The victim then reminded Roberson that she was pregnant, to which he responded, “I don’t care,” the report states.

Sunrise police said the victim later found Roberson’s loaded gun hidden inside the home in a laundry basket under clothing.

Shortly after, they said Roberson then pulled the victim, tearing her shirt and causing her to fall onto her neck.

The report states that Roberson refused to call 911, and the victim remained on the floor for about an hour after the incident.

Police said the victim attempted to flee the home multiple times, but at least twice Roberson “restrained her and brought her back inside against her will.”

The victim later fell asleep, then woke up and requested her phone. Roberson gave it to her after she handed him the gun, according to the report.

Police said the victim then gathered her two children, ages 2 and 3, and attempted to leave on foot when Roberson used his vehicle to block her path and “forcibly took both children from her custody without her consent, placing them into the vehicle without proper constraints.” Investigators noted Roberson is not the father of the children.

The victim then attempted to call 911 using her laptop, but Roberson allegedly grabbed it and threw it to prevent her from calling, police said.

They said the victim later fled and located her two children inside a vehicle before driving away and calling 911.

While on the phone with dispatchers, police said Roberson located the victim, forcibly entered her vehicle to turn off the ignition and took her phone.

He then attempted to remove her from the vehicle and threatened to kill her before fleeing with the vehicle while one of the children was still inside, according to the report.

A short time later, police said Roberson released the child to the victim and returned to the home, where she observed “extensive property damage, including overturned furniture, destroyed food items, and damaged electronics valued in excess of $1,000.”

Roberson was later located in Fort Lauderdale, where police said he fled from a traffic stop, leading to a pursuit that ended in a rollover crash near Powerline Road and Northwest 12th Street.

Fort Lauderdale police said the crash involved a vehicle, which overturned after being struck. They said several people, including Roberson, were taken to Broward Health Medical Center with minor injuries.

Jail records show Roberson is facing charges including robbery with carjacking, aggravated battery of a pregnant female, obstruction of justice, grand theft of a vehicle, child neglect and interfering with custody of a minor.

As of Friday morning, he was being held without bond at the Broward County Main Jail and ordered to have no contact with any victims or to possess firearms, weapons or ammunition.
