"I just told him to hold on," she told KARE11. "And the police came and they took over."
Wheeler told KSTP that she's "never seen anything like that" in her life, describing the incident as "bad."
“I’m sick today. I’m sad, I’m sick. I’m praying. I want everybody to pray for that kid. I just want him to come out and come home," Wheeler said.
