‘He has a gun’: 911 calls reveal moments before Miami-Dade deputy’s battery arrest
New 911 calls are revealing the moments before a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputy was arrested on kidnapping and battery charges following an incident with his girlfriend.
Terrance Dion Chester, 28, was arrested by Broward Sheriff’s deputies in Pompano Beach and booked into jail Thursday morning.

According to an arrest report, Chester repeatedly struck his girlfriend and mother of his child, and when she tried to get away, he allegedly grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back into the couple’s house, pulling out a gun at one point.
“There’s a woman being beat on somebody and he has a gun, I don’t know if that’s her boyfriend or what,” a caller tells a dispatcher in one of the calls. “He’s swinging her around ma’am.”
Multiple neighbors apparently witnessed the incident as it unfolded late Wednesday night.
“The gate was wide open and we seen the lady on the floor begging for help,” one says in one of the calls. “She’s getting hit on for sure. She’s obviously not able to get far because he’s already pulling out guns and stuff.”
The victim’s sister also called 911 at one point.
“They have a 2-year-old baby and that baby is in the house,” she said in the call.
Broward Sheriff’s deputies arrived and said they were able to take the gun away from Chester.
Chester went before a judge on Friday, where his bond was set at $90,000.
During the aparance, his defense attorney mentioned Chester had no priopr criminal history, and at one point downplayed the kidnapping allegation.
“So basically the kidnapping is going from just outside the residence to inside the residence where she is let go and she is free to go outside,” the attorney said.
The prosecutor asked the judge to keep Chester locked up.
“The victim was dragged back into the home, there was a small child in the home. Thankfully she was able to escape from the home with the child and contacting law enforcement. If she were unable to, it’s concerning where this could’ve gone,” the prosecutor said.
Chester later posted the bond. When he leaves jail he’ll have to wear a GPS monitor, will be on house arrest, and is prohibited from contacting the alleged victim or having weapons.
Chester, who’s been with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office for five years, was relieved of duty but is still an employee for now.
“I am deeply troubled and angered by the arrest of one of my deputies on serious domestic related charges. This conduct is completely unacceptable and stands in direct violation of our values and the law,” Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said in a statement. “I want to make it absolutely clear; no one is above the law! The safety and wellbeing of victims will always take priority, and any member of this agency who violates the trust of this community or their oath of service will be held fully accountable. The deputy is currently relieved of duty. There is no place for violence in this profession or in our homes.”

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
