Apparently, Bryan was trying to take three of the kids "for leverage" against Jenny. He had already loaded the guns in the van and had started to load one of his daughters when the second call came in.
"There's an issue going on right now." That's how Bryan Masche's father-in-law began a 911 call to Camp Verde, Arizona, police earlier this month after the 'Raising Sextuplets' star began loading three of his screaming children and "some guns" into a van during a dispute with his wife. PopEater has acquired audio from the phone call from the Sept. 11 incident.
Jenny Masche's father told the dispatcher that Bryan was "loading up three of the kids right now and it's kind of like leverage," he said, adding, "He's in one of those frames of mind. I'm a little apprehensive."
When asked whether Masche had become physically violent with Jenny, the father-in-law, whose name has not been released, said no, but that "she doesn't want him to leave because if he takes three and then he files [for separation or divorce] or whatever happens, then she's got three kids here and three kids there and then all of a sudden it becomes a bargaining tool. And they should be with her mother."

At this point, the argument between Bryan and Jenny Masche, whose show airs on WE, had not accelerated enough for the caller to ask for police assistance at the home, but there were signs thing were getting unstable.
"It's okay right now," he said. "[Bryan] just loaded some guns into the back of his van and he's had eight years of being a cop, according to him."
A short time later, the father-in-law called back and asked the dispatcher to send an officer to his house. He said Bryan stole Jenny's cell phone and described the scene: "He's started to load one of [the children]. He took her out of bed. He's got her in the back of the van."
The two men then begin arguing and the audio becomes muffled and, at times, inaudible. In the background, you hear the sound of one or more of the children, ages 3, crying loudly. "This is the attitude, this is the reason I do not want you in the car with the kids," he said.
When police arrived, Masche resisted arrest, claiming he "didn't do anything," according to the official police report. Bryan grew belligerent and refused to be subdued. "Bryan locked and held his arms in front of his body in a manner to prevent them from behind secured," the report says. He was threatened with a Taser but "complied prior" to its deployment.
Masche was eventually loaded in a police car and later pleaded not guilty to three counts of domestic violence involving disorderly conduct and threats and a single count of resisting arrest. He is out on $3,500 bond and is due back in court Oct. 7 for a pretrial conference.
Back in 2009, Bryan and Jenny admitted that raising six young children was difficult and caused a lot of tension between them. "We have totally brutal fights," Jenny told PEOPLE.
The couple were a "work in progress" and hoped to resolve their marital problems. "When you understand that there's no way out of marriage, that forces you to work on your marriage. If we're going to be stuck with each other for the next 80 years, we better make it good," Bryan added.
When I heard the 1st 911 call I thought it sounded weird. The fil called to say nothings going on right now,but there might be eventually so I'll call if we need you to come out.
