----------------------------
Previously released video of the immediate aftermath of the incident was obtained by TMZ and shows Danielle crawling in the grass along the side of the road as she attempted to catch her breath. It is unclear who is responsible for recording the incident.
Police on the scene noted that she was struggling to breathe when they got to her.
When she did catch her breath, Danielle immediately began defending her husband, insisting that he was 'sick' from history of concussions.

According to the police report, Danielle first asked a witness to call 911, but later begged officers not to arrest her husband, saying it could disrupt his charity, the Rypien Foundation.
'What do I have to say so that you arrest me and not him?' she asked officers.
A police body cam also recorded Danielle's pleas.
'You take this man to jail and you're hurting the whole community,' Danielle can be heard saying as she sobbed to police. 'He raises money for cancer and it will hurt his reputation in a way he can't come back from and I'm begging you.'

And illustrates all too clearly what abuse does to the victim.
