Chop the dash. Chop the dash. >> Hey adrenaline junkies, welcome to Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series when people mess with the wrong cop where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. >> Hey, get on the ground. >> On July 3rd, 2026, just before midnight in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, a confrontation unfolded near Central Avenue and 3rd Street. [music] Investigators said 41-year-old Steven Griego had returned to the area following an earlier incident that had deeply affected him. >> Yo, yo, yo, how many guys shot? >> Hey, hey, hey. >> Griego became involved in a heated argument with 40-year-old Juan Ortega while riding an electric scooter. The dispute quickly escalated and investigators said Griego pulled out a handgun and fired. Ortega and 38-year-old Richard Thyberg were both struck during the chaos. In just a few seconds, one emotional decision changed everything. >> Go listen. Go listen. Go >> Officers nearby heard the gunfire and rushed to the scene. Despite repeated commands to stop, police believed Griego still posed an immediate threat. Four officers discharged their firearms ending the confrontation before anyone else was harmed. Griego was taken into custody and transported to a hospital. >> [screaming] >> Henry 235, shots fired. Don't move. Don't move. Investigators recovered a Glock [music] 48 handgun at the scene and continue reviewing the case. A stray bullet also affected another person nearby and its source remains under investigation. The incident serves as a powerful reminder that losing control for just a moment can lead to consequences far beyond what anyone expects. >> Tommy. >> Hey, what's going on, bro? >> All right. All right. >> On August 15th, 2023, at approximately 5:07 p.m. in Sacramento, California, USA, patrol officers responded to reports of an individual carrying a large knife and behaving erratically aboard a regional transit train. Several passengers called 911, turning an ordinary afternoon commute into a tense situation. >> Dog, I got to excuse me. Dog, I got to excuse me. I want to escape. Dog, I got to excuse me. >> Okay, can you open this door for us? Oh, okay. >> I'm talking to the police. It's the one in the red shirt. The one in the red shirt. Can you open it? >> Hello. Can you step off, sir? >> Hey, step out. Step out. Step out. >> Can you step out of the train? As officers arrived, one officer approached the train while another retrieved a less lethal beanbag shotgun. The individual stood up with the knife still in hand. The less lethal option was deployed first, but failed to stop the advance. In a split second, the situation changed dramatically. >> [groaning and screaming] >> According to investigators, the individual charged toward the officers while still armed. Facing what they believed was an immediate threat, the officers discharged their firearms to stop the advance. Once the scene was secure, they immediately requested medical [music] personnel and moved in to provide first aid. >> Sir, drop the knife, please. >> Sir, drop the knife. >> Drop the knife. >> Is she handcuffed? >> Yeah, I'm handcuffed. >> Okay. >> Hey, drop that knife, please. >> I'm handcuffed. >> Officers continued providing medical assistance until emergency crews arrived. Despite every effort, the individual could not be saved. The incident remains a reminder that rapidly changing encounters often leave officers with only seconds to make decisions, where every choice carries lasting consequences. >> Shots fired. Officers coming in. Keep perimeter clear for fire department. >> What are you using the steel for? >> Uh no, he still has it. >> Yeah. >> Where's it at? >> On April 1st, 2022, in Kingman, Arizona, USA, Public Safety Detective Donald Shed attempted to stop a BMW after the driver failed to stop at a stop sign. Instead of pulling over, 48-year-old Juan Manuel Rodriguez sped away, turning a routine traffic stop into a dangerous pursuit. >> Where we at? Put your [ __ ] hands up. Put your hands up now. Put your hands up. Zebra 215 to a gunpoint. He's running again. We hit. >> During the pursuit, [music] Rodriguez repeatedly drove aggressively and even attempted to ram the patrol vehicle. After losing control, he ignored officers' commands and reached beneath the dashboard. Moments later, investigators said he opened fire with a fully automatic weapon, forcing Detective Shed to return fire while trying to escape the danger. >> Zebra 215 send me units Thompson and Powell. I'm coming. I'm coming. >> The exchange continued as Rodriguez pursued the patrol car and fired several more rounds. Detective Shed was struck in the back, but managed to reach a safe location where he received medical treatment. Meanwhile, Rodriguez fled toward a nearby desert before being located by an Arizona DPS helicopter and taken into custody without further confrontation. Investigators later recovered multiple firearms, suspected narcotics, cash, and other evidence from the suspect's vehicle and belongings. In July 2023, a jury found Rodriguez guilty on 11 charges, including attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault on law enforcement. The case is a powerful reminder that a single decision to flee can quickly lead to far more serious consequences. >> Put your hands up and get on the ground. [screaming] >> On July 26th, 2023 at approximately 2:53 p.m. in San Francisco, California, USA, plainclothes officers were attempting to arrest a man on an outstanding warrant near Catalina Street and Fairfax Avenue. What began as a routine arrest quickly took an unexpected turn when another man, later identified as 41-year-old Bryant Blueford, approached the scene. Blueford repeatedly demanded that officers release the suspect and ignored requests to step back. Investigators said he appeared to display a handgun at his waist before walking toward newly arrived patrol officers. Body cam footage captured officers shouting, "Take your hand out of your pants. Get on the ground." But the tension continued to rise. >> Get your hands up. Get your hands up. Hands up or I'll shoot. Hands up or I'll shoot. Hands up or I'll shoot. >> 11 atom one at gunpoint not responding to commands. >> Get your hands up or I'll shoot. >> Seconds later, officers said Blueford raised the handgun toward them. Believing there was an immediate threat, both officers discharged their firearms, bringing the confrontation to an end. Once the area was secure, officers immediately began CPR and called for paramedics as bystanders gathered nearby. >> Put your hands up and get on the ground. Charlie Charlie 11 atom gun. Somebody put it out. >> Blueford was transported to a local hospital despite extensive rescue efforts. Authorities later confirmed he did not recover from his injuries. The investigation remains part of the department's review process, reminding us [music] that rapidly escalating encounters can leave everyone involved facing life-changing consequences within just a few seconds. >> We have medics en route? On July 23rd, 2026, at approximately 7:54 p.m. on Interstate 30 in Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police began searching for a red Ford Flex linked to a reported theft involving merchandise valued at more than $1,000. What started as an attempt to locate the SUV quickly turned into a dangerous Interstate pursuit. Dashcam footage from Trooper Dustin Medford captured the SUV weaving through evening traffic as multiple troopers coordinated over the radio. Speeds quickly climbed past 100 mph with the patrol vehicle reaching 109 mph while closing the gap. Every passing second increased the risk for everyone on the road. As Trooper Dustin Medford closed the gap, he looked for a safe opportunity to end the pursuit. The first PIT maneuver was unsuccessful, allowing the Ford Flex to keep going. Moments later, with traffic conditions becoming more dangerous, Medford executed a second PIT. This time the SUV spun off the roadway and came to a controlled stop, bringing the high-speed chase to an end. >> We're on County Line Road, Charger. >> Yeah, we're moving around, moving around the back side. >> The official investigation is expected to determine the final outcome and any charges filed against those involved. The pursuit is another reminder that choosing to flee rarely solves a problem. It often creates even greater risks for everyone sharing the road. >> The Charger is 34, traffic. Give me your right. Give me your >> On July 22nd, 2026, on Interstate 40 near the 284 mile marker in Arkansas, USA, Trooper Thomas spotted a white Toyota Camry traveling slowly in the left lane, disrupting the flow of traffic. As he attempted a routine traffic stop, the driver initially appeared to comply before making a sudden decision that changed everything. >> Instead of pulling over, the Camry accelerated from about 65 mph to nearly 120 mph. The driver weaved through traffic, narrowly avoiding several vehicles while even smiling and waving at the pursuing trooper. What may have seemed like a game to the driver placed countless motorists in danger. After an initial PIT maneuver failed, Trooper Thomas waited for a safer opportunity near exit 10 on Interstate 55. With heavy traffic ahead, he performed a second PIT. This time, the maneuver successfully guided the Camry off the roadway and into a ditch. The driver then ran from the vehicle but was quickly taken into custody with assistance from the West Memphis Police Department. >> They got another T V A. >> Male on foot, black male, black shirt, white t-shirt. >> Black male, black shirt, white t-shirt. >> The driver, identified as Philip Johnson, was arrested and later faced multiple charges, including felony fleeing, reckless driving, drug-related offenses, and driving on a suspended license. The pursuit serves as another reminder that one reckless choice behind the wheel can quickly turn a routine traffic stop into a case with serious legal consequences. >> Now I'm secondary. 540, 541. >> From May 12th to May 14th, 2023, in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police launched Operation Safe Streets, a multi-agency enforcement effort aimed at illegal street racing, reckless driving, and other criminal activity. What began as a targeted operation soon expanded into one of the city's largest public safety campaigns. >> All right, we're coming to you, buddy. I'm right here at Dyer Springs and 30. Where's Archer at? We're still northbound on I-63, railroad >> Officers worked around the clock patrolling major roads and responding to reports across the city. As the operation continued, dozens of reckless drivers were stopped while firearms, suspected narcotics, and stolen property were also recovered. Every checkpoint sent the same message, public safety comes first. After 48 hours, the operation concluded with 610 arrests and numerous criminal and traffic violations addressed. Despite the scale of the enforcement, officers completed the operation without any major incidents or reported injuries, a result that reflected careful planning and coordination. >> [screaming] >> Operation Safe Streets demonstrated that consistent enforcement can make a real difference. It also served as a reminder that public roads are meant for everyone and choosing to drive responsibly helps protect not only yourself, but everyone around you. >> I'm not breaking her equipment. >> On September 16th, 2022, near Highway 85 and County Road 38 in Fort Lupton, Colorado, USA, officers responded to an alleged road rage incident involving a firearm. After stopping 20-year-old Maria Rios Gonzalez, she was placed in the back seat of a patrol car while officers searched her pickup truck. What seemed like a routine investigation was about to take an unexpected turn. >> Side. Dispatch Lupton 346, one at gunpoint. >> Driver, put both your hands Put your hands out the window. Put your phone down. >> Put your phone down. >> As officers searched the vehicle, the sound of an approaching freight train grew louder. Only then did they realize the patrol car had been left on railroad tracks. >> [music] >> Within seconds, the train struck the unattended police vehicle, leaving everyone at the scene in shock. >> Good? Keep your hands above your head. >> Don't move. >> What's going on? Why am I being We'll explain everything in a second. I need Can I get my cell phone, please? >> Who is Who is that hard? >> No, that's uh I'm going to Oh my god. Oh my >> Move your car. Stay back. >> 346, patrol Patrol hit by a train. Just got something before six. It is medical emergency. The suspect was in the vehicle that was hit by the train. >> Officers immediately rushed toward the damaged patrol car and called for emergency medical assistance. Maria was quickly removed from the vehicle and transported to a hospital with serious injuries. The incident unfolded so quickly that it became a powerful reminder of how a single oversight can lead to devastating consequences. >> Took her a long time to pull over and Platteville said he did not see anything leave the vehicle. Right now I just need to find out who she is so we can deal with that aspect of >> Investigators later confirmed the patrol vehicle had been parked on the railroad tracks during [music] the traffic stop. The officer involved was placed on administrative leave while the incident was reviewed. Cases like this remind us that every decision at an active scene matters and even experienced professionals must remain constantly aware of their surroundings. >> I know you know what you're doing. I was just thinking out loud. >> I'll let you look at that. I'll keep looking for the other stuff. >> On June 22nd, 2026 in Sandy Springs, Georgia, USA, officers became involved in a vehicle pursuit that had crossed into the city from neighboring jurisdictions. The driver, later identified as Jared Juwan Pierce, refused to stop despite repeated emergency signals. >> Traffic is heavy on the road and that's what it's traveling. I told you to be more aware of the charges. Agent 7 >> Traveling at speeds exceeding 110 mph, Pierce weaved through traffic, putting countless drivers in danger. Even after officers carefully carried out several PIT maneuvers to safely end the pursuit, he continued pressing forward. In moments like these, one reckless decision can affect many innocent lives. >> [music] >> Another good PIT, another good PIT. Florence Southbound Glenridge. >> TRV blocking, TRV blocking, TRV blocking. >> Get on the ground. >> The pursuit finally came to an end when Pierce abandoned the vehicle and attempted to escape on foot. Officers immediately followed giving clear commands throughout the chase before [music] safely taking him into custody a short time later. Sometimes running only delays the inevitable. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> Fortunately, no members of the public were injured during the incident. Pierce now faces multiple charges including felony fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, false imprisonment, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, obstruction of law enforcement, and several additional traffic-related offenses. The case is another reminder that respecting the law is always the safest choice for everyone on the road. On January 26, 2025 at approximately 7:20 a.m. in Fresno, California, USA, police officers responded to reports of a burglary in progress at an apartment complex near North Backer Avenue and Shaw Avenue. A 911 caller reported seeing three armed suspects forcing their way into a residence. Surveillance cameras later showed the suspects entering the apartment and removing a heavy safe before loading it into an SUV. >> Forward with the key for him. Give me Give me Stay right there. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. I got the car on the south side. Don't [ __ ] move. They're trying to drive away. Don't move. Don't move. Key is going back towards you. Stop right there. Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired. Stop right there. >> Just as they attempted to leave, responding officers arrived and repeatedly ordered them to surrender. Instead of complying, the driver reversed into a building and suddenly accelerated toward an officer. The situation changed in [music] an instant, forcing officers to make rapid decisions under extreme pressure. The suspects fled the apartment complex, but officers quickly began a pursuit. After the SUV was forced to stop, investigators said the driver, 37-year-old Amicho Manzia, attempted to retrieve an AR-15-style rifle before running away. >> Pick up your gun. Freeze. Watch out. Watch out. Get down. Get down. Freeze. Shots fired. >> Believing there was an immediate threat, officers responded and a police K9 was later deployed to safely [music] bring him into custody. Another suspect, 43-year-old Antoine Francisco Manzia, was arrested at the vehicle after officers secured the rifle. Days later, detectives located and arrested the third suspect, 28-year-old Aaron Geary. >> Got it. Let me Let me get that. >> I got you. I got you. >> Officers recovered the AR-15-style rifle, a shotgun, the stolen safe, and additional evidence connected to the case. Amicho Manzia was later booked on charges including felony assault on a peace officer, robbery, and firearm-related offenses. Antoine Manzia faced robbery and multiple firearm charges, while Aaron Geary was also booked in connection with the home invasion. Fortunately, no officers or bystanders suffered life-threatening injuries. The incident serves as a powerful reminder that dangerous choices often lead [music] to lasting legal consequences, while teamwork and professionalism help officers bring chaotic situations under control. >> There's a guy in the car still. >> There's another guy in the car still. Another guy in the car. >> On April 20th, 2025, at approximately 12:30 p.m. in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department responded to reports of a man causing a disturbance in the 3300 block of Outerburn Avenue. Witnesses said the 36-year-old man, later identified as Atuma McCollum, appeared to be intoxicated and was damaging apartment windows. >> What I've got now? >> What's the matter? >> Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Ready? What you got in your pocket there? >> Nothing at all. >> Looks like a knife. >> When officers arrived, they calmly began speaking with McCollum and quickly noticed he was carrying a knife. They repeatedly instructed him not to reach for it and attempted to de-escalate the situation, but instead of backing away, McCollum continued moving toward the officers. As they tried to detain him, he resisted and an electronic control device was deployed but proved ineffective. Sometimes, even the calmest approach cannot immediately change a rapidly escalating situation. >> All right, put your hands behind your back. >> No. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> No. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Behind your back. >> You okay? >> Got officer down by the shots fired. >> Moments later, McCollum reached for the knife and lunged toward one of the officers. Fortunately, the officer's protective vest prevented more serious harm. Faced with an immediate threat, the second officer responded to stop the attack. As soon as the scene was secure, both officers immediately began providing emergency medical aid while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Their actions reflected not only courage under pressure, but also their commitment to preserving life whenever possible. >> Starting EMS code three, I got a male subject with a gunshot to the head. >> You all right? >> Yes. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah. I think I am. Stand. >> One in the head. >> [sighs] >> Drop it. Drop it. >> On February 16th, 2025, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, deputies with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office responded to an alarming report involving two young boys just 7 and 9 years old who were holding a loaded firearm. It was the kind of call no officer ever hopes to receive. >> Put your hands over there. >> Just go ahead and drop that. >> Drop. Put it down, Barry. Go ahead and put it down for me, okay? >> You're not in trouble, but you got to drop that and come talk to us, all right? >> if there's a magazine inside the magazine well. >> As deputies arrived, they remained remarkably calm, speaking to the children with patience instead of fear. "You're not in trouble. Put the gun on the ground," they repeatedly said, reminding the boys that this was not a game and assuring them they only wanted everyone to stay safe. Every word mattered because one wrong move could have changed everything. >> What I want you to do is I want you to hit the side of him. >> Hit the wall? >> I want you to hit the wall. >> Hey, put that Just keep it down. >> Sean. >> Put it down. >> I want you to hit the wall. Hit the ground. >> Hey, if he's going to hit the wall, hit the 40. >> Hey, you got to do what he says. >> All right, then Eugene. Can you put it down for me? Now Shawn has it. Shawn, can you just toss it to the side, babe? Let's make this easy. >> I still have it. >> Cuz we want to help you. We want to help you. >> I want to try to do a warning. >> 40 is going out. 40 40 40. >> Drop it. Drop it. >> [screaming] >> Drop it, Shawn. >> Load another one. >> Load another one. Drop it now. You're going to get hit. Drop it. Drop it. >> While continuing their efforts to de-escalate the situation, deputies deployed a less-lethal projectile in an attempt to safely interrupt the children's focus. For a brief moment, one of the boys pointed the firearm toward law enforcement, creating an extremely tense [music] atmosphere. Thankfully, after continued reassurance and calm communication, both children eventually put the gun down without further incident. >> Drop it now. Drop it, both of you. >> I don't even have the gun. I don't have the gun. I don't have it. >> You're over here. >> Deputies safely secured the firearm, and the incident ended without injuries to the children or responding officers. Authorities have not disclosed how the loaded weapon came into the boys' possession. The encounter serves as a powerful reminder that responsible firearm storage, adult supervision, and calm communication can make all the difference when protecting young lives and preventing tragedy before it begins. February 14th, 2026, Horse Cave, Kentucky, USA. Kentucky State Police were investigating a reported assault when they learned that a silver Buick connected to the case had left the area. Investigators believe the possible suspect might be driving the vehicle, prompting officers to begin searching the community. Officers located the vehicle near a truck stop and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, the driver continued down the roadway, leading troopers on a pursuit through the Horse Cave area. During the chase, investigators say an object resembling a backpack was thrown from the passenger side window. The item was later recovered and reportedly contained a handgun. As the pursuit continued along Flint Ridge Road, supervisors authorized a tactical intervention to safely bring the chase to an end. The maneuver was successful, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and come to a stop in a pasture after passing through a fence. But even then, the driver was not ready to give up and immediately ran toward a nearby tree line. >> on the game, jump forward. >> Copy. >> Hey, come back here, [ __ ] >> Troopers quickly caught up with the driver and took him into custody. He was later identified as Brandon Weese. Investigators say he was driving with a suspended status and did not possess a valid driver's license. Additional evidence recovered during the investigation included a suspected controlled substance that was sent for laboratory testing. The case is another reminder that attempting to evade law enforcement often leads to more serious consequences than the original incident itself. >> What's your [ __ ] name? >> Call it one at a time. >> 360 volume and one person. >> 10-1 copy, one person. >> Hey, just wreck that, wreck that. Roll over vehicle, roll over. >> November 29th, 2025, 3:53 p.m., Adairville, Kentucky, USA. While monitoring traffic near the Adairville Market, a trooper spotted a red 2002 Chevrolet Silverado being driven erratically. A records check also revealed that the vehicle did not have valid insurance. What started as a routine traffic stop would soon become something far more dangerous. >> What's up, my man? You got your driver's license, proof of insurance? Hop out. You hop out. Hop out. >> After making contact with the driver, officers encountered a language barrier and used a translation app to communicate. When asked for a driver's license, the driver admitted he did not have one. As officers attempted to continue the investigation and requested that he step out of the vehicle, he refused and suddenly drove away from the traffic stop. >> Speeds at 85, no traffic. South. >> The pursuit quickly intensified as speeds climbed beyond 100 mph on roads posted at 55 mph. Investigators say the driver passed multiple vehicles in unsafe areas and continued into Tennessee. Ahead, officers coordinated with local agencies and prepared spike strips in an effort to bring the pursuit to a safe conclusion. Moments later, the truck left the roadway and rolled several times before coming to a stop. >> Lower the hell. Lower the [ __ ] Lower the [ __ ] Lower the hell. Stay in the car. Stay in the car. Lower the goddamn. Lower the goddamn. Lower the [ __ ] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Lower the [ __ ] Goddamn. Lower the goddamn. Goddamn. Lower the hell. Goddamn. Get on the [ __ ] ground. That's what you get. Get on the [ __ ] ground. Lower the hell. Run the [ __ ] over. You're getting dogged again. Get the [ __ ] over. He just got dogged. >> Even after the crash, the driver exited through a window and attempted to flee on foot. Despite repeated commands to stop, he continued running until a police K9 helped bring the pursuit to an end. The 17-year-old driver was taken into custody and transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Looking back, the incident is a powerful reminder that a single decision to run can quickly place both the driver and everyone else on the road in unnecessary danger. >> January 17th, 2026, 12:56 a.m., Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. While patrolling Interstate 430 South, Arkansas State Troopers spotted a gray Toyota RAV4 traveling at nearly 100 mph in a 65 mph zone. What began as a speeding violation quickly became a dangerous pursuit in the middle of the night. When Troopers activated their emergency lights, the driver failed to stop and continued accelerating through Stagecoach Road. Investigators say the vehicle passed several safe locations where it could have pulled over, but instead continued fleeing. Concerned about the risk to other drivers, Troopers notified dispatch and prepared to end the pursuit before anyone was hurt. A tactical vehicle intervention was successfully performed, bringing the RAV4 to a stop. Officers then conducted a high-risk traffic stop and discovered five occupants inside the vehicle. During the investigation, Troopers recovered suspected marijuana, a digital scale, and other evidence. The driver was described as highly agitated and repeatedly refused to cooperate with officers throughout the encounter. >> Everyone keep your hands out. Do you hear me? Driver! I can't see on that other side. >> Yeah, I've got >> All right, does everyone hold what you got? All right? Just obey my directions, we'll be okay. Do you understand? Front seat passenger, keep both hands out the window. With your hands up! Stop! Turn [screaming] around! Walk back towards me! Walk back! Walk back! Walk back! Hey, stop. Walk back! Walk back. Stop. >> Following medical evaluation, the driver and one passenger were transported to the detention facility and booked on multiple charges, including felony fleeing, reckless driving, and drug-related offenses. The remaining passengers were released without charges. Looking back, this case highlights how a decision to flee from a routine traffic stop can quickly escalate into a situation involving far more serious legal consequences. >> What are you running from me, man? >> February 4th, 2024, Marion County, Kentucky, USA. While patrolling eastbound on US-68, a Kentucky State Trooper detected a vehicle traveling 68 mph in a 55 mph zone. As the Trooper attempted to catch up and conduct a traffic stop, the driver suddenly accelerated, turning a routine enforcement action into something much more serious. Investigators say the vehicle quickly exceeded 100 mph, and at one point reached approximately 115 mph. Even after emergency lights were activated, the driver continued on, running multiple stop signs, and repeatedly crossing into opposing lanes while attempting to stay on the roadway. The pursuit continued through several roads in Marion County. >> 6:30 we turn off. Before you get to the >> Signal left coming. >> All right. >> As soon as we can, I'm right >> He's got his flashers on, he's slowing down. Stand by. >> King 4, you're going towards the Cherokee Creek. >> Okay, 4. >> Southbound 289, coming up on Mac Brady [music] Road. >> King 4, 23. >> The chase finally came to an end in the parking lot of a local church. This time, the driver complied with commands and exited the vehicle without further incident. As officers spoke with him, they observed signs that prompted a deeper investigation into his condition and actions behind the wheel. What began as a speeding violation had now raised several new concerns. >> Get out of the car. Hands up. Turn around. On your knees. Anybody else in the car? >> church >> Hands behind your back. Lay down face down. Away from me. Turn away from me now. >> The driver, identified as William Anselmo, later admitted he had intentionally tried to avoid police. During the investigation, officers also recovered a suspected Delta 8 vape from the vehicle and transported Anselmo for additional testing. He was later lodged at the Marion County Detention Center. Looking back, this case serves as another reminder that a brief decision made under pressure can quickly lead to consequences that follow long after the pursuit has ended. >> After you sped up, let's go. Get up >> I I apologize. >> It's not worth going to jail for. >> It it got too dangerous for you. >> It got too dangerous for me, yeah. >> Well, I'm not trying to be rude to you, man, but speed limit's the same all over the state. >> On November 25th, 2025, in Pinellas County, Florida, USA, a sheriff's deputy stopped 21-year-old driver after observing her traveling at 91 mph in a 35 mph zone. Moments earlier, the vehicle had also come dangerously close to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, turning an ordinary traffic stop into a serious public safety concern. >> I'm going to pat you down. >> Okay. >> You have anything in your pockets? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. All right, turn around and face me. All right, you seem like you've been drinking a little bit. You smell like it. >> Okay, I had one drink. >> Okay. All right, are you willing to submit to field sobriety? >> As the deputy spoke with the driver, identified as Chloe, he detected the odor of alcohol and began a careful investigation. Chloe admitted she had consumed one drink. Although the initial field sobriety assessment did not immediately indicate clear signs of impairment, the deputy also discovered open containers of wine inside the vehicle. Faced with the full picture, he continued the investigation with patience and professionalism rather than making assumptions. >> Okay. You see if you're if you're impaired to the point where you shouldn't be driving. Okay, do you have your license? >> I do. It's not on me, but you guys can look >> Okay, is this your vehicle? >> This is my mom's car. >> All right, how old are you? >> I'm 21. >> Okay.

So, you're willing to submit to field sobriety? >> Yeah, what happens like >> Okay. >> I don't want to get like aggressive right now. >> Well, I'm going to ask you to perform some field sobriety exercises. You have the right to say yes or no. >> Based on Florida's super speeder law, which requires an arrest for extreme excessive speeding, the deputy informed Chloe that she was being taken into custody. Throughout the encounter, she became increasingly emotional, repeatedly asking how long she would be detained and what would happen to her vehicle. Even in a stressful moment, the deputy remained calm, explained each step of the process, and ensured the situation stayed under control. >> speed limit I >> Well, I'm not I'm not be rude to you, ma'am, but the limit's is same all over the state. >> I'm so scared right now. I'm about to cry. >> Okay. So, all right, listen. Turn around for me. I'm going to place you under arrest. Turn around. I'm going to place you under arrest for reckless driving.

There's There's a line, and you crossed it. >> Chloe was later cited for dangerous excessive speeding, possessing open alcohol containers in the vehicle, and failing to yield the right to a pedestrian. The incident serves as an important reminder that a few seconds of speeding can lead to lasting legal consequences. >> [music] >> More importantly, slowing down and making responsible choices behind the wheel can help protect not only your own future, but also the lives of everyone sharing the road. >> All right. >> On October 2nd, 2022, at approximately 12:32 p.m. on Interstate 75 near Lowndes County, Georgia, USA, Georgia State Patrol troopers joined a high-speed pursuit after local deputies requested assistance. The driver of a white Toyota Corolla had initially been stopped for traveling 98 mph in a 70-mph zone, but instead of pulling over, he accelerated and fled. As the pursuit continued, the Corolla exceeded 110 mph, weaving across multiple lanes and narrowly avoiding several other vehicles. Spike strips had already been positioned ahead, but the driver swerved into the emergency lane at the last second to avoid them. Watching the vehicle repeatedly endanger innocent motorists, troopers knew every passing mile increased the risk for everyone on the highway. After identifying a safer opening in traffic, a state trooper decided to perform a precision immobilization technique or PIT maneuver. The patrol vehicle made controlled contact with the Corolla, causing it to spin across the highway before coming to a stop off the roadway. The driver immediately ran into a nearby wooded area, prompting a coordinated search involving multiple deputies and a police K9. After nearly an hour and a half, the suspect was located hiding on the back porch of a nearby residence and was taken into custody without further incident. >> Last call Sheriff's K9, you're surrounded. Get him. Get him. Get him, Carlos, get him. Get him. Put your hands up. Put your hands up. Put your hands up. >> Investigators later recovered a backpack containing packaged marijuana and a firearm, along with information linking the suspect, 23-year-old Brandon Rosier, to several outstanding felony warrants from other jurisdictions. He was transported to the Lowndes County Jail, where he faced multiple charges while additional investigations continued. The case is a reminder that attempting to outrun the law often leads to even greater legal consequences, while the patience, coordination, and disciplined decisions of law enforcement help bring dangerous situations to a safe conclusion. >> Oh my god. All right, come on, stand up. All right, I'm going to being strong. >> On January 8th, 2021 at approximately 9:25 p.m. in Milledgeville, Georgia, USA, a Georgia State Patrol Trooper attempted to stop a dark-colored minivan after noticing it had no working taillights and no rear license plate. Instead of pulling over in the parking lot of the Economy Inn, the driver suddenly accelerated, turning a routine traffic stop into a dangerous pursuit. >> [music] >> It's a black minivan of some sort. Black minivan. Going left on MLK. Left on MLK. No 28 displayed. See if I can PIT him over here. >> Clear is now on MLK. >> The driver, later identified as Forest Trees, sped through city streets, repeatedly exceeding speed limits, passing vehicles in unsafe areas, and ignoring multiple traffic signals. As the pursuit continued, officers watched the van create growing risks for everyone sharing the road. Believing it was the safest opportunity to end the chase before conditions became even more dangerous, the Trooper decided to perform a precision immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver. >> Clear is now actually making a right. We're southbound on Jefferson correction, Hall. I'm going to PIT him right here. Montgomery now. Jefferson and Montgomery. >> I'm at Jefferson and Montgomery. For a clear day, one Village View, clear it. Roll over pit roll. >> The maneuver successfully brought the van under control, but the vehicle overturned before coming to rest on the roadside. As the trooper approached, he heard a female passenger calling for help while the driver fled into a nearby wooded area. Officers immediately shifted their focus to assisting the passenger, requesting medical personnel, and securing the scene before launching a K9 search for the fleeing suspect. In moments like these, protecting lives always comes before making an arrest. The passenger was transported to a hospital for treatment while officers continued searching for Trees and later obtained a warrant to search the motel room where he had been staying. Investigators recovered suspected illegal substances and drug paraphernalia, and further interviews helped confirm Trees' identity. Additional arrest warrants were later obtained as the investigation continued. The case serves as another reminder that attempting to escape often creates greater risks and more serious legal consequences than cooperating from the very beginning. >> Listen to me. Listen to me. Keith, can you stand up? Look at me. Look at me. Can you Can you pop the hood? We got to ask dumb questions. We got to winch cable. >> On August 23rd, 2024, at approximately 9:26 p.m. in Washington County, Arkansas, USA, an officer observed two motorcycles and a Dodge Charger accelerating rapidly away from a traffic light on Highway 412. One motorcycle immediately stood out. It had no working headlight, no visible license plate, and appeared to be racing. When the officer activated his emergency lights, the rider chose to speed away instead of stopping. >> It's a motorcycle. No, 28. 37 northbound on Old Missouri. >> The motorcycle raced through intersections, ignored traffic lights, passed vehicles on both sides of the roadway, and reached speeds exceeding 100 mph. As additional officers joined the pursuit, the rider turned onto a dead-end county road before reversing direction. With the suspect continuing to endanger everyone nearby, officers knew the situation had to be brought under control before someone else was put at risk. An officer carefully positioned his patrol vehicle, slowing down while weaving slightly in an effort to reduce the motorcycle's speed. The rider continued forward and eventually struck the front of the patrol vehicle before falling onto the roadway. Officers immediately secured the scene, placed the rider into custody, and requested an ambulance to evaluate his condition. Even after a dangerous pursuit, their first priority remained everyone's safety. >> I got this one. >> Just chill out. Everybody just >> I'm I'm fine. I'm fine. >> Just hang on. >> I promise I'm not I got to play it >> I understand, but you're going to sit here for just a second. >> No, I that's it. Please, I don't care about my >> I don't know. >> I promise I'm not >> I was right here. >> He hit me pretty hard, went up on my hood. >> After receiving medical evaluation and being released from the hospital with a minor shoulder injury, the rider, identified as Mr. Collins, was transported to the Washington County Detention Center. He later faced multiple charges including felony fleeing, reckless driving, speeding, driving on a revoked license, operating an unregistered motorcycle without insurance, and several equipment violations. The incident is a reminder that one impulsive decision behind the handlebars can quickly become a series of serious legal consequences, while cooperation with law enforcement is always the safer path. >> I understand I made you mad. I'm sorry. Oh. I understand I made you mad. I'm >> I don't want to listen to all your excuses. >> I'm not excusing nothing. I'm just >> February 25th, 2026, 11:36 a.m., Vestal, New York, USA. Broome County Dispatch received a call about a man reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis while holding a knife near a residence on Sequoia Lane. Officers were dispatched immediately, knowing they were responding to a situation that could change rapidly. >> Behind you. >> Hey, drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. >> Within minutes, officers arrived and located 38-year-old Eslam Hegazy in a wooded area near the home. Authorities say he was holding a knife and repeatedly ignored commands to drop it. Officers first attempted less-lethal options, deploying multiple tasers in an effort to safely gain control of the situation. Despite those efforts, the situation remained unstable. >> [screaming] >> Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Drop the knife. Taser, taser. Drop the knife. Drop the knife, now! Drop the knife! >> As officers continue trying to de-escalate the encounter, investigators say Hegazy moved around the property, entered and exited a garage, and at one point threw a television toward an officer. Moments later, he allegedly advanced toward officers while still holding the knife. Faced with a rapidly developing threat, officers were forced to make a split-second decision. >> Drop the knife! Drop the knife! Drop the knife! Sir, drop the knife! Drop the knife! >> Once the scene was secure, officers immediately moved in, took the individual into custody, and began providing emergency medical aid until paramedics arrived. One officer suffered minor injuries after being struck by the television. The incident remains a sobering reminder that mental health crises can place everyone involved in difficult and dangerous situations. And there, officers often have only seconds to react while trying to protect both the public and the individual in crisis. >> Sir! >> From high-speed pursuits to moments where decisions go too far, these real stories remind us that every action carries consequences.
