lows speed chase all the way back to his residence uh they stop stick the carres he keeps driving he pulls into the driveway as deputies make announcements for him to come out of the truck he won't come out so they go to approach when they go to approach thank God they have their shield with them and as they approach he Fires at them this shot this round right here was up in front of my Sergeant's face my sergeant would have took a shot to the Head more shots ring out one of our new deputies who transferred in from New York 25-year-old uh young man Ethan Thomas he takes a graze wound to his face they engage the suspect in a gun battle they Retreat the suspect barricades himself in the truck and refuses to come out uh we try to negotiate with him negotiations are going not going anywhere uh he's telling us to contact President Biden because the president's going to Pardon him for everything that he did eventually we try to pin him in with our heavy equipment we pushed a truck into the garage continue to try to negotiate with him he starts to light fires in the garage gets up into his attic drops back down into the house and eventually the house now the the the vehicle that he was in catches it on fire it was probably a smoldering fire I don't know the fire marshal determine that and then the entire house becomes engulfed in flames and for probably 45 minutes he's up in the second floor going back and forth coming out to the back porch telling us that he's going to fight us that he's not going to surrender uh eventually the smoke really gets thick and we're able to punch the porch the studs that hold the porch up out he falls to the ground and we're able to take him into custody the first thing he says to me is call the president he's going to pardon me for this so that's that's where we're at the guy is a 30-year employee with the city of the land uh his family tells us for the past 6 months or so he's been acting extremely erratic uh you know at the end of the day my deputies are going home safe over over stolen packages of cigarettes I got a deputy who could have been shot and been killed if it wasn't for this piece of equipment that we gave all of our sergeants back in 2021 and then I got a new guy who comes to us from New York Ethan Thomas who takes Again by the grace of God he he's not shot in the head and he's not dead uh and two other and one other my one of my lieutenants took glass fragments to the face uh from the gun battle so we had three deputies that fired uh and again you know I'm I'm I'm at a loss for words that we could be burying one of my men today and through the grace of God we're not and how he survived that Inferno to be taken into custody there's somebody sitting on somebody's shoulder today that we're not talking about cops dead deputies dead suspect dead just it just didn't happen that way thank God and I'm grateful for everything that we did our negotiators every piece of equipment that we have you see it all out here it's all out here for a reason that's why we buy this stuff you know you hope you never have to use it we used it and and and it was a successful uh successful end to a long long long night
