Hey adrenaline junkies, welcome to Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series, when people messed with the wrong cop, where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. On March 16th, 2026, shortly after 2:00 a.m. in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey, USA, four Lacey Township police officers responded to a home on Hemlock Drive after a 911 call from 55-year-old Suzanne Clark, who believed she was having a serious medical emergency. What sounded like a routine welfare check quickly became something far more unpredictable. >> Hello, it's your here. Hello. Can you come to the door? It's Lacey police. Are you Suzanne? Can you come to the door, please? >> The officer spoke with Clark through a window and repeatedly asked her to open the door so they could check on her. She refused and told them to leave. As EMS waited outside, officers stayed on scene for nearly 30 minutes trying to calm the situation while noticing unusual movements inside the house. >> We're not spying, ma'am. Ma'am, you called and said you're having a heart attack. We can Ma'am. Ma'am, take a break. We're not harassing you, okay? >> Something's not right. Let's go. 1 2 3. Ready? Ready? 1 2 3. 1 2 3. 1 2 3. three. Jesus. All right. >> Concern grew after an officer spotted what appeared to be an injured dog through the back glass door. As officers attempted to enter, Clark suddenly came outside holding a knife and moved toward them despite repeated commands to stop. >> What are you doing, Susan? Come out with the knife. >> Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. DROP THE KNIFE, SUSAN. GET YOUR TASER. >> WITH ONLY MOMENTS TO REACT, an officer discharged his service weapon to end the immediate threat. >> All right. All right. >> Secure weapon. Grab a first aid kit. Susan, just stay still, okay? >> Officers immediately provided medical aid and secured the scene. A knife was recovered and later information confirmed that Clark's two dogs were safe. The incident is a reminder that every emergency call can change in an instant and that staying calm and cooperating with first responders can make a difficult situation safer for everyone involved. >> Got to assess knife. >> One lady got cut. >> I got the knife here. Okay. Let's start getting pressure on these wounds. >> Okay. Don't let it get crazy. That's crazy. >> I'm not resisting. Stop. >> On July 11th, 2026, shortly before 5:00 p.m. in Palm Coast, Florida, USA, Flagler County deputies responded to a home after receiving a report of a heated domestic argument. At first, it seemed like a disagreement between a couple, but officers knew that calls like these can change in an instant. A man told deputies that he was packing his belongings to move out when 34-year-old Sofia Svarich pushed him and briefly blocked him from leaving a closet. When deputies tried to hear her side of the story, she refused to identify herself, demanded to speak only with a female deputy, and shut the door. Even then, officers remained calm and continued trying to resolve the situation peacefully. After deputies informed Zvarich that she was being taken into custody on several allegations related to the incident, she became physically resistant and kicked one deputy. Even after being placed in the patrol car, she managed to slip out of her handcuffs and continued resisting [music] as deputies secured them again. Moments like these show how quickly a routine call can become challenging. >> If you push it, you have to >> Okay. Okay, fine. >> 359 >> What are you What are you grabbing him >> Deputies eventually brought the situation under control and transported Zvarich to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. She was booked on allegations including domestic battery, false imprisonment, resisting an officer with violence, and battery on a law enforcement officer before later being released on bond. The case is another reminder that staying calm and cooperating with officers is often the safest path for everyone involved. >> Ow. >> Well, you're not really complying with the >> An Orange County deputy was patrolling near the Save Discount Store on North Hiatus Road when he noticed a man inside a fenced area behind the building. It looked like a simple suspicious person check, but within moments, the situation changed dramatically. >> Hey, boss. What are you doing? Come on. What are you doing? Be careful. >> The deputy approached 24-year-old Charles St. Fleur and asked what he was doing there. Instead of answering, Saint Fleur climbed over the fence, grabbed a bag from the ground, and tried to run. When the deputy attempted to stop him, a violent struggle broke out with the suspect repeatedly striking the deputy and forcing him to the ground. During the struggle, two firearms were thrown onto the ground nearby. After more than a minute of fighting, Saint Fleur broke away and ran toward the weapons. Realizing the danger could escalate within seconds, the deputy regained his footing and discharged his service weapon, bringing the confrontation to an end. It was a split-second decision made under intense pressure. >> [groaning] >> Deputies immediately provided medical aid until paramedics arrived. Both Saint Fleur and the deputy were taken to the hospital where they were reported to be in stable condition. The incident highlights how quickly a routine encounter can turn into a life-threatening situation and why cooperation during police encounters is often the safest choice for everyone involved. >> [clears throat] >> DROP IT! DROP IT! DROP IT! ON MAY 9TH, 2025, AT around 6:30 a.m. in Bakersfield, California, USA, Kern County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Water Street after reports of a man carrying a hammer, a machete, and a firearm. What officers expected to be a high-risk response quickly became even more dangerous. >> Yes, his name is Giovanni Gutierrez. I'll promise you that you're not nothing. >> Ma'am, when you're crying, I can't understand what you're saying, okay? >> No, Giovanni is a brother to the church. >> Has he shot the firearm at all, or is he just threatening you with it? >> He got He was trying to pull the gun when I go to the open the the door, but I don't open. >> When deputies arrived, they located 42-year-old Saudi Giovanni Diaz holding a firearm. Body cam footage shows Diaz raising the gun toward a deputy, leaving officers with only moments to assess the rapidly unfolding situation. Every command was clear, but the tension continued to rise. >> One on one gun point. >> Drop it. DROP IT. [laughter] DROP IT. DROP IT. HEY, I'M HIT. >> DURING THE CONFRONTATION, a deputy discharged his service weapon. Despite being struck, Diaz continued raising the firearm and fired, injuring one deputy in the hand. Officers also found a woman nearby who reported she had been struck during the incident. In just a few seconds, a routine response had turned into a scene where every decision mattered. >> Code 3, 5150, 999. >> [screaming] >> Deputies quickly secured the area and provided emergency medical aid to everyone involved. Diaz was later taken into custody and faced multiple allegations, including attempted murder, kidnapping, burglary, assault on a peace officer, and firearm-related offenses. The injured deputy received treatment and recovered. The case is another reminder that officers often face unpredictable dangers while working to protect their communities. >> My finger. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I can shoot. >> Yes. Stand right in front of that Chevy symbol, right there. >> On June 10th, 2022 in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, USA, officers from the Daytona Beach Shores Department of Public Safety stopped a vehicle during a routine patrol. What first appeared to be a simple conversation about alcohol soon led to a situation with legal consequences for one young passenger. >> Do you have your ID, sir? Your registration and your insurance. Go ahead and step out of the car for me. Do you have like a wrap or a towel or something? Okay. Why don't I put something on? Okay. >> Can I get out? >> I just didn't want to make you stand out here in just a bikini. That's why I'm asking. [ __ ] Okay, go ahead and get out of the car for me. >> Yes. >> Stand right in front of that Chevy symbol, right there. And you're how old again? >> As officers spoke with the group, they determined that the 18-year-old passenger was the only person in possession of alcohol. After confirming the circumstances, the officer calmly explained the situation and asked the individual to step out of the vehicle while the necessary procedures were carried out. Although the interaction remained under control, there were moments of tension as the young individual questioned the process, discussed recording the encounter, and expressed frustration about being taken into custody. Even so, the officer stayed professional, explaining each step and what would happen next. >> We were only coming out here to get them out of the >> What? Take a seat on the bumper. I gave you an opportunity to get dressed. We're going to wait a minute now, okay? How you doing? on the bumper, please. What's your first name? Abigail? >> Yes. >> Abigail, we're going to go stand over by that GMC. >> The individual was transported for processing, and the officer explained how the bond procedure would work. The incident ended without further complications, serving as a reminder that even a decision that may seem minor can carry lasting consequences. Understanding and respecting local laws is often the easiest way to avoid turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable lesson. >> This is why I asked if you wanted a towel. You don't want them recording? I don't know. Maybe it's a document a fun time, I'm not sure. To them it is, cuz no one else claimed the beer that you were drinking all by yourself. >> On April 28th, 2021, at approximately 6:53 p.m. on Interstate 185 near LaGrange, Georgia, USA, a state trooper spotted a silver Hyundai Elantra traveling at 108 mph in a 70-mph zone. What began as a routine speeding stop quickly turned into a dangerous pursuit that put everyone on the highway at risk. The trooper activated his emergency lights and siren, but the driver refused to stop and continued driving at more than 100 miles per hour. As the vehicle weaved through traffic, the trooper carefully adjusted his position, waiting for the safest opportunity to bring the pursuit to an end. Near the 43-mile marker, the trooper performed a precision immobilization technique or PIT maneuver, successfully bringing the vehicle to a stop after it left the roadway and overturned. All four occupants exited the vehicle and officers quickly secured the scene before checking on everyone's condition. What could have become far more serious ended without further escalation. >> GET ON THE GROUND. DOWN. STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. IS everybody okay? >> Yes, sir. >> Where's the driver? >> I'm right here. >> Hey, stay on the ground. Don't you move. Get on the ground. Over here WHERE I CAN SEE YOU. >> OKAY. >> Right there is good. Go ahead and get out. >> Can I get out? Can I get >> During the investigation, officers learned that the driver, Nyire Henley, had a suspended driver's license and an active warrant. A strong odor of marijuana was also detected inside the vehicle. After receiving medical evaluation, Henley was taken into custody and additional evidence was collected as part of the investigation. The case is a reminder that choosing to stop for a traffic stop is almost always the safer decision than risking lives on the road. >> Should have stopped. >> All right. Say again? So, he's saying she was driving, she's saying he was driving. So, right now they're both getting the charges. I got an ambulance on the way to check them out for the scratches and stuff. It just crashed. It crashed. >> On May 14th, 2025 at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Interstate 540 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA, an officer spotted a gray Chevrolet Malibu speeding at 88 mph in a 65 mph zone. It looked like a routine traffic stop, but within seconds the driver made a decision that turned the night into a dangerous pursuit. >> Tag can't read it. It just Only thing I can read is May 06 2025. >> [clears throat] >> Which one we stopped before the 20 over pass? >> The officer activated his emergency lights and the Malibu briefly slowed before suddenly accelerating away. The chase quickly reached speeds of 124 mph with the driver weaving through traffic and even using the shoulder to pass other vehicles. Every mile made the situation more dangerous for everyone on the road. >> Still going. Driving on the shoulder. He brake checked me. Couldn't see the eye. >> Hey, what's that? 2 Kelly Highway. Kelly Highway exit. >> 10-4. Kelly Highway exit. >> He just crashed. He crashed. >> As the pursuit approached the Kelly Highway exit, the driver lost control while attempting to drive through a red light and crashed into a traffic light pole. The vehicle came to a stop allowing officers to safely take the driver, later identified as Demontra Shawn Wanel, into custody without further resistance. Sometimes a single reckless decision is all it takes to change everything. >> Yeah, just one occupant. There's nobody else in the vehicle, right? >> My legs got to be empty, dog. Really? >> God damn, bro. Dude, my legs got to be empty, son. >> All right, I'm going to have to put a personal >> Fortunate that you get a return on that 28. I got it, man. I can use mine. I can I can use mine. You good, dog? >> I got you, bro. Hold on. >> Dog. >> Officers called for medical assistance and later discovered marijuana and an open beer container inside the vehicle. Further investigation revealed that Wanel was driving with a suspended license and was still required to use an ignition interlock device, which was not installed. A preliminary breath test also indicated alcohol in his system. The case is a reminder that choosing to pull over safely is always a better option than allowing one traffic stop to become a much more serious situation. >> [clears throat] >> On June 15th, 2025 at approximately 11:19 a.m. on Interstate 40 near North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police received a request to assist the Jacksonville Police Department with a vehicle pursuit heading westbound. What began as another pursuit on the interstate would be over in less than a minute. An Arkansas State Police Trooper quickly positioned his patrol vehicle to intercept the pursuit. As the suspect's vehicle came into view, the Trooper joined as the lead unit and carefully looked for the safest opportunity to bring the chase to an end without putting other drivers at greater risk. At approximately 11:27 a.m., the Trooper successfully performed a tactical vehicle intervention, safely stopping the fleeing vehicle. Officers immediately exited their patrol cars, coordinated with Jacksonville Police, and completed a high-risk arrest without further resistance. The entire incident unfolded in just a matter of minutes. Get down! After the suspect was secured, the scene was handed back to the Jacksonville Police Department and the vehicle was towed for further investigation. No officers were injured and no Arkansas State Police vehicles were damaged. The incident serves as another reminder that professional coordination and timely decisions can safely bring even high-speed pursuits to a controlled conclusion. >> On January 4th, 2025, just before midnight, Flagler County Deputy Christopher Murphy in Palm Coast, Florida, USA, spotted 38-year-old Michael McDermott standing beside a bicycle on Pine Lakes Parkway. Murphy tried to make contact. McDermott picked up the bike and rode away. Murphy activated lights and attempted a traffic stop. McDermott appeared to slow enough for Murphy to stop and exit his vehicle, then pedaled quickly away onto Westminster Drive. >> He's laying. >> Murphy got back into his patrol vehicle and turned onto Westminster Drive. He observed McDermott reaching into his pants and pulling out a firearm. Fearing McDermott would engage him with the weapon, Murphy made a split-second decision. Murphy struck McDermott with his patrol vehicle, ejecting him from the bicycle and causing him to drop the firearm. Deputy Anderson arrived as backup within seconds. McDermott was secured without further incident. A 9-mm Ruger was recovered near McDermott, who was found wearing a holster for the weapon. >> I ain't [ __ ] do anything. Get on. You [ __ ] hit me in the pole, man. >> What did you throw right there? >> I didn't throw anything. >> McDermott was treated for a minor ankle injury and transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. He was charged with assault or battery on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, resisting an officer with violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He had been released from the same facility just 18 days earlier after serving 90 days for possession of fentanyl. He was out less than 3 weeks before pulling a gun on a deputy from the seat of a bicycle. >> It's [ __ ] insane. I have to do what you put down, dude. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm not trying to run. Like I just want to [ __ ] go home, man. Like what the [ __ ] is my I'm a German, man. I mean you just [ __ ] hit me with your car, man. >> I asked you to stop. >> I know, but I don't I don't have to stop. >> Where Where Where are the handcuffs? >> 12, we're actually going to I'd rather lose than 10-50 10-50 for sale and I-70 rollover. Rollover. >> On April 21st, 2025, Sugar Creek police officers in Sugar Creek, Missouri, USA responded to a shoplifting call at the Dollar Tree on US Highway 24. Dispatch described the suspect and her vehicle. Officers found Lauren Ruwart getting into a maroon 2006 Ford Freestar with her dog. >> What's going on? Step out for me. Shut it off. Shut it off. SHUT IT OFF. [screaming] CHECK THE CAR. 12, THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE. LET'S GO. >> AS OFFICERS APPROACHED, Ruwart reversed into a patrol vehicle, drove into a shopping cart corral, reversed and struck the patrol vehicle again. A dog in the van jumped out and bit one of the officers. Ruwart then fled onto westbound US Highway 24, running red lights and driving into oncoming lanes at 70 to 80 mph before merging onto Interstate 435 and Interstate 70, reaching speeds of 92 mph through moderate traffic. >> 10-34 right there, right there. We got the fifth the passenger side. And now 3 dispatch, if you're busy we can contact animal control after she left the store. >> Talk to city dispatch and they'll meet. We second approaching the Paseo. Speed is 60. I got light to moderate traffic. >> You guys give us stop sticks and we'll try to see if we can get her to stop. >> Well, we're actually going to rather lose her than 10-50. 10-50 Paseo and I-70 rollover. Rollover. >> Stop sticks were deployed near Benton Boulevard, deflating the passenger side tires. Roark lost control attempting to exit at the Paseo, struck a light pole and the vehicle rolled multiple times. She was ejected from the vehicle and taken into custody by officers on scene. Kansas City Fire Department transported her to hospital. >> I got you. Right behind you. >> Roark, do you want to push in here? >> Take the car? >> Car's on fire. Car's on fire. >> I got fire started. >> The patrol vehicle sustained damage from being struck twice. Roark faced charges including assault on a police officer, fleeing in a vehicle and shoplifting related offenses. A records check revealed multiple prior cases and outstanding bonds across several jurisdictions. She bit an officer through a dog, rammed a patrol car twice and rolled a minivan on a highway exit. It started with a shoplifting call at a dollar store. >> Are you okay? Are you okay? Sir. >> He's found out to see L3 Road. 10-50, 10-50. >> On April 20th, 2024, Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Wade in Missouri, USA, spotted a motorcycle traveling at high speed on US Highway 61.

It's going to be eastbound route C, L tree road, 10-50, 10-50. >> The rider pushed the motorcycle at high speed before losing control and crashing. He then attempted to flee on foot into nearby woods. Officers conducted a K9 assisted search of the woods and located the rider. He was taken into custody. Methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were recovered during the search. >> 9-32, where you at? >> The rider was charged with felony resisting arrest, possession of a controlled substance, unlawful drug paraphernalia, and multiple traffic violations. He was sentenced to 4 years incarceration with a suspended execution of sentence and 5 years supervised probation. He fled a speeding stop, crashed his own motorcycle, and hid in the woods with methamphetamine. The K9 found him anyway. On June 25th, 2024, CCTV footage at the Midwest Inn in Branson, Missouri, USA captured two individuals stealing parts from a Ford F-150. The suspects were driving a black Dodge Journey with for sale written on the windows. The following day, officers spotted the vehicle at a gas station. As officers approached to contact the driver, he fled and left his girlfriend behind. Officers detained the passenger and began tracking the vehicle. Due to heavy tourist traffic on West 76 Country Boulevard, pursuit was not authorized. However, with multiple officers in the area, the vehicle was quickly spotted again. The driver fled from several additional units before Police Chief Eric Schmitt took over in his unmarked pickup truck. The suspect fled into a residential area with dead-end streets, briefly escaped sight, and then spotted the chief's unmarked vehicle and fled again, striking the front corner of Schmitt's truck. >> [music] >> With lighter traffic in the area and the suspect's continued reckless behavior, Chief Schmidt initiated pursuit. After being brake checked, Schmidt executed a precision immobilization technique sending the Dodge Journey into a drainage culvert. The suspect was detained and held without bond. >> DO NOT MOVE. >> YOUR HANDS OUT THE WINDOW. HANDS OUT THE WINDOW. >> All right, you're crawling your happy out of here.

The suspect entered a plea agreement in January 2025 and was charged with stealing $750 or more, resisting arrest by fleeing and first-degree property damage. He stole truck parts, left his girlfriend at a gas station, and spent the next day running from officers across half a city before the police chief personally drove him into a ditch. >> Hit me, I'm like >> Mhm. >> Yeah, and now he's dangerous. >> Recklessly everywhere. >> Yeah. >> And then he was trying to hit you there. He ran into him right here. >> Yeah. >> Drop the axe. Drop the >> On May 8th, 2025, at approximately 4:18 p.m., San Diego police officers in San Diego, California, USA, responded to a 911 call from inside the Pacific Beach Taylor Branch Library on Cass Street. The caller reported 53-year-old William Hanley was inside causing a disturbance while armed with a hatchet. Library footage showed him brandishing the hatchet at an employee, hacking power cords, smashing computer screens, and confronting a patron [music] before leaving the building. Officers located Hanley walking on the nearby 4300 [music] block of Dawes Street and ordered him to put his hands up and drop the hatchet. He refused. When asked to comply, Hanley responded, "No. I'm going to create a scene and the whole world sees it." As Officer Blomdahl approached, Hanley raised the hatchet above his head. >> San Diego police. >> Hey, hey, put your hands up. Put your hands up. Take the axe out. Take the axe out. Put it down. Put it down. Put the axe down. >> I'm going to kill all of you. >> Put the axe down. Hey, get some distance. Get some distance. Drop it.

Officers immediately provided medical aid and called paramedics. Hanley was transported to hospital and medically treated. >> Hey, hey, hey, hey, you got it? I'm going to I'm going to go grab I'm going to kick the axe away. >> Smashed computer screens and hacked power cords at the library were left as evidence of what had happened before officers arrived. Hanley had already told them exactly what he intended to do. He raised the hatchet anyway. On June 9th, 2025, at approximately 12:32 a.m., Century Sheriff's Station deputies in Lynwood, California, USA, responded to a residential burglary in progress on the 3300 block of Los Flores Boulevard. On arrival, they learned 45-year-old Federico Rodriguez had broken in and was still inside with the victim. Through a window, deputies saw him holding what appeared to be scissors. >> He's got scissors in his hands, too. >> Hey, drop everything in your hand. Drop everything in your hand. >> He's at the door right now. Scissors in his hand. >> He's got scissors in his hand. >> Drop everything in your hand now. >> Which door is he at? >> He was at this one, but he I think he's in >> Yeah. >> Yeah, he's in >> Hey, screaming, screaming, screaming.

Deputies forced entry through a door and found Rodriguez in the hallway on his knees actively stabbing the victim ON THE FLOOR. >> [screaming] >> A DEPUTY-INVOLVED SHOOTING OCCURRED WHILE Rodriguez was actively stabbing the victim. Rodriguez was struck and the attack stopped, [music] allowing deputies to immediately reach the victim. A knife was recovered at the scene. The victim survived. Deputies had seconds between [music] hearing screaming and making entry. The shot that stopped Rodriguez is the reason that sentence is true. >> Hey, someone >> Yo, it's blood. Oh. >> DROP IT. >> DROP IT. DROP IT. DROP THE KNIFE. >> ON December 27th, 2024, at approximately 11:58 p.m., Warren police officers in Warren, Michigan, USA, were dispatched to a 7-Eleven after callers reported a male suspect had crashed his vehicle into the building, shattering the facade, and was terrorizing customers and employees with two knives while threatening to kill. Scared employees locked themselves in the back room until police arrived. >> I think I don't know if he's drunk or something. He has a knife and he was kind of threatening his wife, the cashier. I'm just a customer. >> He's within 12 machine, 7-Eleven. Is he a white male, black male? >> White male, white male. >> Officers >> arrived to find 46-year-old Brian Steel standing outside the 7-Eleven armed with two knives and covered in blood from self-inflicted wounds. His girlfriend was also standing beside him. Steel repeatedly refused commands to drop the knives shouting, "Kill me. Kill me." Officers calmly worked to de-escalate responding, "Nobody wants to kill you." while urging the girlfriend to move away. >> Nobody wants to kill you. Nobody wants to kill you. Don't do it. Don't do it, man. That just throw it down. Just put it down. Just put it down. Just put Drop IT. DROP IT. DROP THE KNIFE. DROP THE KNIFE. >> AFTER THE girlfriend moved away, additional officers arrived and successfully deployed a taser causing Steel to fall and drop both knives. Officers rushed in and secured him. Two serrated kitchen knives were recovered. Steel was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and transported to jail. The vehicle that crashed into the building caused damage to the facade estimated over $1,000. Steel was charged with assault with intent to rob while armed, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and malicious destruction of a building. He was charged as a habitual fourth offender due to prior felony convictions for breaking and entering, home invasion, and other offenses and was on parole at the time. His bond was set at $250,000. >> Anybody else inside hurt? >> I'll check. >> Good tase. >> It was an orange knife. I think he's got another one. >> 973 can you move forward? >> On July 27th, 2024 at approximately 1:25 a.m., a Burlington police officer in Burlington, Vermont, USA, was standing post at Church and Main Street with a community service officer when a male walking toward them began shouting profanity. As the male closed to within about 15 ft, the officer asked if he was okay. The male responded by striking the officer in the face with a closed fist. The officer created distance and drew his Taser, warning the male to stop or be tased. The male told the officer to do it and claimed it would not hurt him. He continued advancing. The officer deployed the Taser. The male stopped, but did not fall and leaned against the wall. A second officer covered him with her Taser before transitioning to her firearm when he kept his hand tucked at his hip. The male continued trying to close the distance. Additional officers arrived and took hold of the male's arms, bringing him to the ground in a controlled manner. He was handcuffed without further incident. He punched an officer unprompted, dared the Taser to be used, kept a hand hidden at his hip, and still had to be brought down by multiple officers. The encounter started with a simple question about whether he was okay. His answer was a fist to the face.
