Stop. Stop. Stop. Let's not do that. >> Stop it. >> Stop it. Hey, >> I can't be here. It's not going to be okay. >> It's a calm evening in Crystal Lake, Illinois, when deputies pull over a teenager suspected of drunk driving. What starts as a routine stop quickly spirals into chaos. And it only gets wilder from here. Deputies catch up with the suspect in a parking lot after several callers report her car swerving and tailgating. >> I'm sorry. Hello. >> Hi, I'm Officer Coster with Chris Lake Police Department. Um, we're just talking to you because we got a comp couple complaints um that you might have been swerving on the road or >> now she's asked to step out and answer a few questions, but that's when things start to get complicated. >> To step out, okay, we're going to you're going to come and talk with us over here. Okay. >> All right, my dear. Here, put your right against there. This officer is going to ask you some questions, okay? >> Deputies identify the teen as then 18-year-old Ellie Masukovich and decide to search her car. That's when things got, let's just say, constitutionally complicated. >> Now, what we're going to do is I'm going to have you stand by with these officers and I'm going to search your vehicle. >> You don't have a warrant to do that. >> Actually, I have probable cause cuz I observed alcohol. >> You don't have warrant to do that?

I know you don't have a right to search my car. >> There's an exception to the law. It's called a mobile conveyance. >> You guys looked in my car before. You have a right to search my car >> and so you you don't have a right to search my car. There's >> also plain >> you don't have a right to search my car. >> I do. >> No, you don't. So you don't. Ellie, >> do not touch me like that. >> I'm telling you. >> I'm going to tell you one more time, dear. >> I'm telling you for a fact you don't have you don't have a right to search my car. >> So listen to me. This is going to go one of two ways. Okay. I would rather not put you in handcuffs so we can chill. >> Turns out Ellie's a little hazy on what her rights actually are. And chilling out isn't one of them. >> Can't search my car without a warrant. >> Ellie, it's all in body cam. >> You can't search my car without a warrant. No, you can't. >> I turn around. >> Do not handcuff me. >> We're not going to do this. We're not going to do this. >> Chill. Turn around. >> Please don't handcuff me. I'll go with them to the cop car. Please don't handcuff me. I'll go with them to the car. I'll go with them in the car right now. Please don't handcuff me. >> We already spoke about this. We gave you the option. >> Don't hand me. I'll go to the car with them right now. Please. >> I'll go to the car with them right now. Please don't handcuff me. I'm trying to >> We're not going to do this. >> Stop. You better. >> I can't be handcuffed. Please. I'm trying to >> I can't handcuff. >> Stop it now. >> An officer lets Ellie know she's under arrest. And that's when this little parking lot drama kicks into high gear. >> Go to the car. >> I can't be handcuffed, Ellie. Okay, right now you're being placed under arrest, okay, for um Well, we're going to figure it out. It's at least uh we'll go illegal consumption of alcohol by my minor right now. Okay. Do you have the key? >> Stop. Stop. >> Let's not do that. >> I can't be in handcuff. Just make sure that she >> I can't be in handcar. >> Ellie, we're not doing this. Ellie, >> I can't be >> We are not doing this. We are not doing this. >> Take me out. Come on. >> I can't. >> With things getting out of hand, it takes a team effort to guide Ellie into the patrol cart. >> Ellie, stop. >> Take me out of the hand. >> Listen to me. >> Take me out of the hand. >> Ellie, stop. Take me out of the house. >> Stop. >> I got her. >> Take me out. >> Ellie, stop. >> Ellie, listen to me. >> Take me out of the hand. Ellie, >> take me out of the hand. >> Ellie, stop. >> Take me out of the hand. >> You're making it worse for yourself. Seriously, because what's going to end up happening? >> Take me out of it. >> Allie, stop. >> Take me out of >> Take me out of it. Stop it. >> Take them all, >> Ellie. Listen to me. Walk. Step over. >> Listen to me. >> Listen. >> Listen to me. Take a deep breath. Listen. >> Deputies attempt to deescalate. But this teen's got her own plan, and it doesn't include chilling out. >> Chill. You have to chill out. >> Please take off the handcuffs. Please. >> Right now, I can't. You know why? I'll sit here if you take off the handcuffs. If not, I'll run out. >> Surprisingly, that offer doesn't exactly win any points with deputies. And Ellie quickly fires off another demand. >> Try to do some breathing. Okay. >> He can buckle me up if you take off the handcuffs, please. >> He can't buckle me. >> So, listen. This is the deal. If you keep fighting like this, my sergeant's on his way here and he has this device called the wrap. Okay. And it completely restrains you. Listen to me. You have to listen to me. If you can't calm yourself down the way we are now, I am going to have to put you in that. And I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that because we're calm and we're talking right now. Okay. So, we have to stop. >> Okay. You have to stop. Take some deep breaths. Let's do some grounding. Can we do some grounding? >> Can we do some grounding together, Ellie? Again, deputies try to calm the teen down. And well, let's just say she's not used to hearing no. >> Came the >> It feels like I'm going to Utah. >> Ellie. Allie. Allie. Allie. Stop. >> Ellie, if you do that one more time, I'm going to put you in the wrap. >> Stop it. Then please take the handcuffs off me. >> Then you're going to get put in the wrap. Those are your options. If you bang your head one more time, I'm going to put you in the wrap. >> Please take the handcuffs off. After being warned over and over, Ellie proves she's not exactly a fan of following rules. >> With the law does not mean you can touch me without consent. >> You're just making >> You can't touch me without consent. >> Let him set it off first. >> And then we'll bring it off. He's going to grab the wrap without >> my assumption. Yeah, I know exactly what he's doing. set it up and then >> and guess what happens next? Deputies introduce the wrap to keep our teen under control. Trust me, you'll want to see this. >> We're in there until we step. >> Don't touch me without cassette. >> Deputies hook up the device and yank Ellie out of the patrol car. And trust me, she is not having it. [Applause] >> Stop touching me. >> Wrap her feet right now. You guys are old men. Stop. >> Careful. Watch your head. >> Watch your legs. All right. I got the head. If you guys Okay. >> Hey, listen. >> Have to stop. >> Stop. Stop. Ellie, let me do verbal. Ellie, you have to stop. >> Let me go. >> You got to take >> Oh, do you know I'm going to hurt the position I'm in right now. >> Let me stand up. >> Stop trying to bite. Stop trying to bite. >> It takes a small squad of deputies to hold Ellie down. And even in the rap, she keeps the drama going strong. >> How's that? >> Is that on your stomach? >> Can you get any more? >> Try. >> Not too hard. Okay. >> Ellie appears to spit at deputies. And yes, there's more chaos to come. >> He's going to double check your cuffs, Ellie. >> Stop digging your fingernails. >> If you fight him, he can't check your cuffs. >> They hurt so bad. >> You fight him a check. Goodbye. going to double check them. >> You should have You should have checked them before putting them on me. >> I don't think I think she's going to be hitting her head against the side.

Ellie, >> it hurts. >> Stop. >> You have to take some deep breaths. >> It hurts. >> My stomach and my wrist. >> I've been telling you this. You guys don't listen cuz you're >> You guys are insensitive. >> Well, aggravated battery. >> What the You want to >> Please don't Please just call my sister. Please. He was supposed to pick me up anyway and I wouldn't have done it in trouble cuz I didn't. >> We'll go back to the PD and do complaints. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> What? >> We're going to lift her up. >> Once secured in the patrol car, Ellie has one burning question for the deputies. And you might not expect it. >> Who asked my vape? Who asked my vape? Who asked my vape? >> In your house. >> Who has my vape? No lights up there. >> Who is going to answer? Who has my babe? >> Her tantrum continues until deputies discover something in her car that explains a lot. [Applause] That tantrum continues for some time until our suspect literally turns this investigation on its head. >> Why are you answering? I'm stuck. Help me. Help me. Please. Please. Help. Please. Please help me. [Music] Please, please help me. Please, please, please help me. I can't breathe. Please, please help me. Why are you guys helping me? Please help me. Please, please help me. Please. I hate >> When deputies check Ellie's car again, they find a mysterious passenger. A bottle of vodka. >> You got it. Where is it? Under her seat. >> Under her seat. Deputies find a half empty bottle of the vodka under the driver's seat. And as if that wasn't enough, a glass pipe, too. Meanwhile, back at the jail, Ellie is upright and ready for her next adventure. Getting out of the restraint. >> She's been kidnapped. >> Get my hand up. Help me get this out of my mouth. Get this out of my mouth. >> Miss, what's your name? >> Ellie, get this out of my mouth. >> Okay, Ellie, you got to tell me what's going on today. What happened? >> Get this out of my mouth right now. I can't breathe. >> Get the hair. I can't hear my mouth. >> I can't my mouth. Get it out. Get that out of my mouth. >> Thank you. Can you please get the hair out of my mouth? Once out of the wrap and inside the jail, Ellie makes it clear she might know a thing or two about this situation. >> Black is important to be glad to know what's going on. >> Next, Ellie's escorted to a holding cell and told she'll be spending the night. Let's see how she takes that little news flash. >> What's your question? If I hear you, they will be out. >> No, in the morning. In the morning. >> Why not tonight? They told me tonight. >> No, you have to see the judge. >> What if I my parents? >> What's that? >> If my parents bail me out tonight and they bring me to the >> No, you don't have a bail until the judge sets it. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. >> No, I won't. >> You'll be fine. [Music] It's just right now. Let's >> see how it progresses. >> Ellie tries her luck again, attempting to sweet talk the deputies. Spoiler, it's not working. >> I need to go home tonight. >> Take some deep breaths, okay? I trust me, these young ladies that you're talking to, you're in good hands, okay? >> If I call my parents, I'll say whatever it is to get me out tonight. I can't be here. >> Okay, let's try.

It's not going to be okay. >> Ellie Masukovich racked up quite the list. DUI, five counts of aggravated battery on an officer, resisting arrest, and underage liquor possession. She pled not guilty, and the case is still pending. Stay tuned. This story isn't over. >> I'm going to book you in a little while, okay? I'm going to give you three free phone calls.
