When the DEA puts out a federal warrant for your arrest, there's nowhere left to hide. Today, we're looking at two suspects who thought they could defy gravity and the law. From a high-speed foot pursuit with a narcotics kingpin to a tragic standoff with a combat veteran in crisis, these officers were pushed to the absolute edge. We are closing in on our goal of 1,000 subscribers. If you want to support the channel and see more daily body cam breakdowns, hit that subscribe button right now. You're watching Body Cam Pulse. Let's get into the action. It started on a quiet highway. An officer recognized a familiar face, Alfredo. But this wasn't just a local troublemaker. The DEA had a federal warrant out for him for distributing kilos of narcotics. Alfredo knew what was coming. Instead of hitting the ground, he hit the pavement, leading the officer on a grueling pursuit. Imagine running with 20 lb of gear while chasing a man who has every reason to disappear. Eventually, backup swarms in and the narcotics kingpin is caught gasping for air. >> Hey, my man. Hey. Hey. Come here. Hands. Hey, lay on the ground. >> Lay down. Lay down. Lay down right now. On the ground. >> Lay down. Lay down. Get down. HEY, GET DOWN. GET ON THE [ __ ] GROUND right now. >> Hey. Hey. LAY DOWN RIGHT NOW. GET ON THE [ __ ] GROUND, ALFREDO. Get on the ground, >> please. >> GET ON THE GROUND. DON'T HEY, >> don't do it. >> HEY, ALFREDO. STOP. HEY 20. >> HEY, he's right out here soon. That's him. >> Ruko on the ground. Is there another one? Yeah, he's with a girl. >> Sit up, dude. Sit up. >> You got anything on you, dude? >> Huh? >> He He was with a female silver sedan, >> man. You need to work on your cardio. Walk this way. >> You all right? >> Water. >> Water? I don't have any wire, man. >> I don't know. You don't tight. >> What's wrong? >> You want tight? >> They're too tight. >> Yeah. >> The cuffs here. Let me see. Step out real quick. Face the car. I'm going to loosen it for you. I >> This one's a little tight. I'll loosen it for you. That better. >> They're handcuffs, my man. You know, they're not supposed to. They're not made for comfort. Only the ones with fuzz on them are. I'll loosen this one, too, for you. All right. All right. Have a seat. Go sit butt first. It's easier. >> You just been drinking today? >> No. >> No. >> No drinking? >> No. >> Keep taking those deep breaths so you don't you don't get a little woozy. >> You take anything else today? >> Just coffee. >> What's that? >> Coffee. >> Just coffee? >> Yeah. >> Any drugs? >> What else do you want, dude? >> You didn't take nothing? >> No drugs? No alcohol? You just out of shape? >> Hey. Hey, buddy. You in any pain? >> Yeah, not pain. >> What's hurting you? >> He says his hands hurt, but he's got handcuffs on. So, >> how far were you chasing? >> Two two and a half. >> All right, man. We're going to get you on the seat belt. We're going to walk you over to the ambulance. >> Hey, sounds like our guy's going to go to the hospital. >> He's just not acting right. I don't know if he swallowed something or what. >> Inside Alfredo's car, police found a pharmacy of destruction. 16 g of meth, heroin, and fentinel strips. But the most shocking part, during the interview, Alfredo didn't even try to deny it. When asked if he was going to sell the meth, he simply looked at the officer and said, "Everything is for sale, my friend. He's now facing years in federal prison." Our second case takes us to Key West, where the energy shifts from crime to a mental health crisis. Officers are called to a man with a knife. Mr. Lewis, a retired combat veteran. His wife, desperate to protect him, repeatedly stands in the officer's line of fire. It's a nightmare scenario for any cop. Despite multiple warnings, Lewis refuses to drop the knife or get down. The officer is forced to deploy his taser, delivering 50,000 volts just to keep everyone alive. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on THE GROUND. MA'AM, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. MA'AM, MOVE OUT OF the way. >> I cannot >> move out of the way, ma'am. >> Move out of the way. >> I'm a combat predator. What are you? >> Ma'am, move out of the way. Ma'am, move out of the way. Sir, get on the ground. Please do not. >> Sir, get on THE GROUND. MA'AM, STEP OUT OF THE WAY. >> SITTING HERE TALKING to my wife. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground, sir. Ma'am, step out of the way. Last chance. Get on the ground, sir. >> Le, >> get on the ground, sir. Last chance. >> I was a taser. Get on the ground, sir. >> Get on the ground, >> Louis. >> Last chance. >> Stop. >> What am I doing wrong? >> Get on the ground. >> I'm not playing. Get on the ground. >> No. What am I doing wrong? >> Get on the ground, >> Louis. >> What am I doing wrong? >> Get on the ground, sir. >> What am I doing wrong? >> Get on the ground, sir. I'm not going to ask you one more time. This is the last time I'm going to ask Get on the ground. Last chance. Get on the ground, sir. >> COME ON. >> ONE TAPE. One taste. >> Get on the ground.

GET ON THE GROUND. >> SIR, all I needed was you for get on the ground. >> We're not doing that. >> I was just asking what I did wrong. Sir, >> when you get called and you have a knife and you're not listening to us have a knife. >> I have a knife. It's in my pocket. >> Ma'am, are you are you his wife? >> I am. >> Does he have any medical conditions or anything? He has PTSD and he's been drinking tonight that I tried to get him to stop. >> What's his name? >> Lewis. >> Mr. Lewis. >> Key West police detective. I'm here helping these guys out. >> I'm I'm United States Army. I'm retired and I [ __ ] up. I got a little too tall on our anniversary. >> Mr. Louis, if I could get you to just chill out a little bit, you and I can chat. Would you be willing to talk to me? >> Roger that, sir. stand you up real quick so that way we can we can look at where all the probes are. >> No worries. >> Okay, go ahead. Ready? >> 1 2 3. >> All right, very good. >> I just want to go back to Iraq and do what I got to do. Why am I here? I don't belong here. >> Help us out. Help us out. >> I don't belong here. Just want to go home with my wife and get the out of here. >> I didn't touch her. I didn't do anything wrong. I really did. And these dudes came up and they were ready to shock me. And I don't give a [ __ ] about being shocked. I was an MP in the army. >> Please don't be spitting, brother. >> I I can't I can't wipe my face. >> I'm going to wipe you, brother. >> We come back and nobody gives a [ __ ] about it. Pulled up. It's kind of tucked away right here. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Cuz it's a knife. I got the knife right here. Didn't see it at first. He was just like, "Fuck that." You I'm like, "Get on the ground. Get on." That's why I had my gun point. My taser. I was like, "Get on the ground. Get on the ground." He didn't get the lie. He started moving. I told his wife to get out of the way. I gave plenty plenty of opportunities. Then he still didn't move. Popped. First one went. He approached me like he took a step, popped the second one and he backed up and kind of started getting him. Started moving that way. I chased him. Guys, guys, got him on the ground. >> Okay, >> good job. >> Would you be willing to sit down? So, I could There you go. >> No worries. >> Easy. Easy. I got to go. >> There you go. You're good. I'm just trying to go home, but the simple fact is y'all don't respect a veteran when he says he's a veteran at the time. I need >> pull my card. You said give me your veteran card. Why did you tell me to give me your veteran card? >> We'd handle that after. >> You don't know anything about Iraq. Be blown the up. >> If you want me to help you, you better help me, brother. >> I understand. The simple fact is I was talking to him. I was talking to him, sir, and then they shot me to put me on the ground because I said, "Hold on, hold on. my hands. Look at their look at their uh >> We will because it's because it's a requirement. Okay. So, we will look at all that. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm going to I need to take these probes out. It's going to hurt. >> Matter of fact, I'm just letting you blown up. >> I'm just letting you know. Okay. I've been blown up. I know his PTSD. >> So, what was going on? >> So, we were at Joe since about 5. He likes to keep drinking when I don't want him drinking because I know his PTSD kicks in. And then of course people he thinks people are staring at him. So he starts cussing and wanting to fight them trying to calm him down. It doesn't work. And then of course he wants to fight people. And then of course he pulls his knife out. And I'm like you need to put it away. >> Was it just he just pulled it out as he was? >> He just pulled it out. Yeah. He wasn't at anybody with it. >> He was just kind of agitated through the drinking and stuff and just like you said the >> and he wants to cuss me out of course and I'm like I need you to get to the car. >> And then obviously the officer came up to try and deescalate the situation. >> Yes. And I was trying to tell him he has PTSD. I need to get him, but it works. >> I've been in a wheelchair for year and a half and I'm finally able to walk. Look. Now we need him to stand up because the other ones >> Yes, sir. I got you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> Do you want me to help you? >> I'm I'm trying, sir. But the thing is, I feel like I'm not get just I'm not getting respected. And everybody they come up to me with their guns drawn. I'm a veteran. I've gone to Iraq in the battle. My wife is embarrassed. I'm embarrassed cuz I'm trying to get back. My car is literally >> I'm going to help you get through this. >> I thank you, sir. I'm sorry. I just I'm I'm so embarrassed right now. >> Okay. But if you don't help me, I'm going to have to leave. I >> I will do whatever I can I >> Hey, hey, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Look at me sitting here. I'm here helping you. >> Stop. I'm here to help you and you put me in bad. I knew that. I'm sorry I didn't realize. >> Once in handcuffs, the tension breaks. A detective who is also a veteran steps in to talk Lewis down, manto man. We learn that Lewis was struggling with severe PTSD and alcohol. It's a tragic reminder that the scars of war don't always heal. Lewis was charged with aggravated assault, but the hope here is that he finally gets the help he needs.
