MOVE. [screaming]
GET OUT OF THE WAY. MOVE. MOVE. MOVE.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY. Welcome back. We
got another video for you. This one
comes from Midwest Safety, and it is
when stealing your mom's car ends in
disaster. I haven't seen it. Let's go.
>> On August 2nd, 2023 in Oakwood, Georgia,
police are called after a white Ford
Explorer is reported stolen. But this
isn't an ordinary incident. Earlier in
the day, the same driver led officers on
a pursuit in the same white Ford
Explorer, which he had stolen from his
own mother.
>> So, you see how the vehicle's backed in
like that. Um, I back in all the time,
but look how far he backed in to hide
the plate. Plus, you know, he's kind of
in the parking lot thinking kind of off
onto his own. He probably should have
parked in a much more congested parking
lot. But they're looking for this
vehicle and now they get a hit on it and
now they show up and here they are
obviously trying to hide the plate.
>> No, HE'S PUT IN GEAR. HE'S PUT IN GEAR.
WATCH OUT. HE'S PUT IN GEAR.
>> ON CAR NOW.
>> OH, there he goes again.
>> He's taking off the parking lot.
>> Dang.
>> Your incident has been updated.
>> All right, we got a pursuit.
>> Into Wendy's. He went He went into
Wendy's. Went into Wendy's.
Your incident has
>> Oh, he went into the drive-thru at
Wendy's.
>> Your updated
>> going right onto Monday Mill. Right onto
Monday Mill. Smiley, get up here and pit
him.
>> Tag is AFA. AFA.
>> White male, black shirt.
>> I don't think he can close the door. I
think the door He's trying to close the
door. I think the door got damaged maybe
when the uh the other uh patrol vehicle
hit him when he was trying to leave. has
been updated.
>> Our
[music]
coming up on Mighty Mill Mighty Mo
Drive.
>> There we go. That looks like they're
going to uh Oh, you're going to pit him
in this traffic. Wow.
>> Dang. HE'S JUST GETTING OUT OF THE WAY.
MOVE. OH, it's let me tell you folks,
it's so frustrating when you're trying
to drive and the Ly sirens are on and
this guy just drove through and scraped
all your vehicles up and they won't
move. Please, folks, when you hear the
sirens on, please move over so that we
can actually get by and go chase this
guy.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> So frustrating.
>> Move. [screaming] Go
>> has been updated.
>> Gosh dang people.
>> Smiley, I'm behind you.
>> This guy is
not want to be caught.
live stream.
>> Yeah, that's right.
>> Where the did my earpiece go, man?
>> We're going to be in the number one
lane, fast lane.
>> When he ran through those vehicles, he
might have actually got it cuz his door
closed. It maybe forced the door closed.
So
>> routines are passing exit 14 now.
They're attempting to pit.
>> What's your speed? We're around 40 pit
about 70 mph.
>> Officers carefully evaluate the
vehicle's speed as pit maneuvers at
freeway speeds are often considered
lethal force, similar to using a
handgun. Lower speed pits, typically
under 35 to 45 mph, are considered less
lethal and fall roughly on the same use
[music] of force spectrum as deploying a
taser. Yeah, if you pit a vehicle like
this at that speed that that Explorer is
probably going to roll um and so yeah,
it could be considered lethal force.
Now,
could you use lethal force in this
situation? Well, I think you could argue
that he presents a clear and present
danger to the other people. He already
was ramming vehicles to get away. He uh
ran past a police a patrol vehicle that
tried to stop him. So, you could say
that his behavior could seriously injure
somebody or kill somebody if they don't
stop him. Um, so that vehicle is a
deadly weapon the way he's driving it.
And so, deadly force, while you don't
want to have to use it, could be
justified in this uh if they do.
>> You're clear to spike.
>> 619 clear to spike.
>> Coming up on traffic, guys. Coming up on
traffic.
Still in number one lane. We're doing
about 85 miles an hour.
>> Coming up on the one mile to exit 12.
>> So he's going to put stop sticks out.
Man, you have to be so careful on this
because when the vehicle we've seen a
lot where they they actually will veer
off and go straight towards the officer,
the deputy putting out the spike strips
or the trooper and go and hit them. The
other thing you have to do is when you
put it out, it can easily we've
punctured the tires of other vehicles
that were just around at the same time.
And you don't want to puncture the via
the the tires of the patrol vehicles
either. So, um you got to be careful how
you do this and and and do it
effectively.
>> 12 now.
>> Coming up on exit 12 right now at about
85 mph. Traffic is medium. So, what he
did, if you saw that, he walked it all
the way across. So, this way he'll go
back to the other side so that he can
pull it to whatever lane this guy ends
up trying to drive through. So, he put
it on the far side in the grass. Now, he
can pull it back to whatever lane
they're in.
>> 78 coming up on 128.
>> Dang. All
right, guys. I got
clear.
>> Okay, so it looks like it was a good uh
uh spike.
>> Let's see.
[music]
>> This might be the second set of spikes.
80 milesPH.
>> Oh,
>> dang. She's lucky they lucky they did
not hit that car.
>> This is dangerous.
>> So, see what he did? He went to the
other side. That's why how that is
exactly why this is so dangerous for
patrol officers, for troopers, deputies
deploying spikes. He didn't want to hit
the spikes again. So, what did he do?
went all the way around onto the other
side where the grass where the spikes
weren't going to get it.
>> Dang.
>> Get him. The first thing
>> this guy is very
>> get him.
>> Pit him.
>> Go.
>> 603. If you're good, I can try and pit
him.
>> Number two lane. Number two lane.
>> So he was in a position to pit him, but
they said negative.
>> We're losing higher from the rear right.
>> Cops in right. We got GSP closed by
chance.
>> Oh man, Georgia State Police, they don't
mess around.
>> Number one lane doing about 70 lane.
>> He's about to bail on foot. Y'all watch
out. He got a door open.
>> Number one.
>> There we go. There we go.
>> Good pit. Go P. He's going to run off
foot. Watch out. Watch out.
Stop the car. Stop the car now.
>> Get out of the car.
>> Get out of the car.
>> Be careful now. GET OUT OF THE CAR.
[screaming] GET OUT OF THE CAR.
>> WHAT'S he reaching for?
>> There's a neighbor.
>> Pull me out. Pull me out. Pull me out.
Pull me out. PULL ME OUT.
>> GET OUT OF THE [screaming] CAR.
>> Get me out.
Wow.
>> You good?
>> Good work.
>> Give me this hand.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
>> Move this hand.
>> Hey, put it in THE CAR. THE CAR.
>> CLEAR THE CAR. CLEAR THE CAR.
We are one mile from the exit side.
>> Put your knees in now.
>> Stand up.
>> HEY, WHERE'S YOUR CAR?
>> WHERE'S YOUR CAR? There you go.
>> Hey, clear the car. Clear.
I've said in the past, we have these we
have these patrol vehicles when you when
your sirens are on and you put it in
park, the sirens stop, which is nice
because then you don't have to fiddle
around trying to put cuz this is when
you're trying to deal with this and you
got sirens blaring in the background. So
annoying. You don't really hear it
because you're so focused on it, but
eventually when when the smoke clears
and you kind of get the guy in custody,
then you're like, "Hey, turn those
sirens off." But uh they did a great
job, man. Great job on the pit. Great
job on avoiding
traffic was everywhere. Cars were
everywhere. People were pulling over on
the left side of the road, the right
side of the road. Uh just a total mess.
And uh they did a good job of not
hurting anybody else. Please.
>> I got
>> My camera has jumped off somewhere.
>> Oh, that's right. No. What is that?
>> No, I helped.
>> That's somebody's guardian angel.
>> Confirm location.
>> I had a guardian angel. That's cool cuz
you could turn on these little lights on
it. It's It's a cool little tool.
>> There you go. Put them in.
>> Sit down, sir.
All right. Pull
>> your legs in.
>> Pull your legs in. Huh?
>> Pull them in.
>> There's a bomb going to explode. You
hear me? Huh?
You hear me?
>> There's a bomb.
>> There's a bomb that's going to explode.
So that immediately now you have to take
that threat serious. And especially the
way he was acting when he's like, "Get
me out of the car. Get me out of the
car." He's clearly a nut.
>> Bomb is going to explode. Can't stop it.
Now you hear me.
>> Smiley right here. Sit up. Sit up, Mr.
Walker.
>> There's a bomb.
>> There's no bomb. Stepped out.
>> There is a There's a bomb that's going
to go off.
>> Step out of the car.
>> There's a bomb fixed to go off.
>> Not Not fixing to, but it's going to go.
You want to know where it's at?
>> No.
>> Where's it at? I went to go look at his
car.
>> Only damage was done to the uh to the
bush guard. Yeah.
>> There's there's just a little bit of the
front bumper hanging down, but that was
one hell of a bit, buddy. But I make
>> I was going to say sorry for uh I wasn't
trying to be too too dangerous. I mean,
>> I wasn't trying to be too dangerous. No,
you were very dangerous. You were
hitting other cars. You were high rate
of speed. Uh you had zero regard for
anybody. So, don't say you weren't
trying to be too You weren't went
totally off-road around the the second
set of spikes. He was absolutely being
dangerous.
>> That's pretty dangerous, man.
>> I just didn't want y'all to I just
trying to drive kind of fast so you
wouldn't hit me cuz I figured that's how
it kind of works.
>> Oh, you figured wrong, right?
>> I mean, you you wait till my tires got
hit.
>> I'm glad no one got hurt. Huh? You know
what I'm saying? I'm glad no one got
injured.
>> We know of. Yeah. We know you hit some
people.
>> I didn't hit uh Oh, yeah. I did hit a
couple cars.
Watch your foot.
>> What?
>> This guy, man.
>> Hey, stop. Stop.
>> It's very tight.
>> We will fix it for you. But I swear to
God, if you try to start anything,
>> I'm not I promise you I'm not.
>> Stop moving your arms like that.
>> I'm trying I'm trying to get my
>> Get off. Just like that.
>> All right.
>> Let's go.
>> Okay. any water
>> probe remover.
>> Reposition my feet.
>> Yes.
>> He wants to go to the hospital. So I
need to take him to the hospital right
now.
>> All right. We're going to fix these
cuffs for you. But you're not going to
resist us or you're not going to fight
us.
>> I'm going to let you know, brother. You
try to fight. Try to run away. And my
dogs and my dogs going to fight you this
time. Okay.
>> So he wants to go to the hospital.
You're going to take him to the
hospital. Plus, you tased him, you know,
a handful of times. So you got to make
sure you take him to the hospital. Make
sure he gets cleared for that.
>> You guys got We always get our people.
>> Man, you guys, you guys did a little
extra. But I deserve it. I can't.
>> They did not do extra. Hey, go ahead and
call list.
>> Put it here.
>> Michael Walker, 43 years old, was
charged with felony theft by receiving
stolen property, [music] fleeing or
attempting to elude police, obstruction
of an officer, possession of an open
container of alcohol in a motor vehicle,
hit and [music] run, and one count of
aggravated assault. Officers searched
the stolen vehicle and found several
alcoholic beverages inside, including
some that had already been opened and
[music] consumed, as well as one that
was partially full. So, open container
laws, not that this was the least of his
problems, but if you have an open
container in the center console, or if
you have an open container in the back
seat on the floorboard, you can get
charged with open container in your
vehicle. It doesn't matter if it was 6
weeks old, you can get charged with open
container. um especially if you have in
your direct control and if it's cold all
of that that's going to indicate that
there might be some impairment. I don't
know if they char they ran him through
FSTs. He might have been high on
something or alcohol and he probably
should have got a DUI too, but they
already had so many other charges and it
depends on how he was behaving whether
they even ran him through that.
>> The stolen vehicle was towed by
Patterson's auto service after
sustaining minor damage during the
pursuit.
>> Minor.
>> You remained unchanged at $10,000.
Michael Walker is innocent unless proven
guilty in a court of law.
>> Minor. That whole front end was jacked
up. [laughter]
I don't know about minor. The whole side
of it got scraped up. Uh I would tires
are jacked up.
Well, the value of the vehicle may have
remained the same. It's going to need
some serious body work. Man, I thought
these guys did a really good job. That
was intense to watch because they're
following it at a high rate speed. He's
all over the place. um running totally
disregarding any traffic laws, hits
other cars, fleas. Uh this clearly is
somebody who is a dangerous to society.
Hopefully they put him in prison for a
while. He deserves to be in prison, I
think, for minimum 5 years for what he
just did and for the danger the lives
that he endangered by doing this. Let's
hope they do that. Let's hope they hold
him accountable. I'd love to know what
you think. How did these guys do? How
did the uh the the police officers do
and and getting this guy catching him? I
thought they did great and they pounced
on him and they got tased him and which
I always love when they especially when
they run and they're they're putting
people in danger. He got tased. They got
him out there and uh bad guy went to
jail. So, let me know what you think.
