When officers located the Prius near Marker 55, they performed a felony takedown, ordering the two out of the car. Officers detained Raimkulov and spoke with him, who stated that he and his father caught his mother, Shaknoza Bazarova, cheating in the act with another man. Raimkulov also noted that Bazarov started fighting the man, in which Raimkulov only tried to break it up. Raimkulov and his father then grabbed his mother and forced her into the vehicle in which Raimkulov was driving, and his father held his mother in the backseat, choking her.
