DROP THE KNIFE. >> ROASTER. >> HEY ADRENALINE JUNKIES, WELCOME TO Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series when people messed with the wrong cops where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. >> Stop. Stop. Drop the weapon. DROP THE KNIFE. >> ON JULY 13TH, 2026, shortly after 2:00 p.m. in Oakland, California, USA, police responded near 40th Avenue and International Boulevard after reports of an armed man. Officers located 44-year-old Jose Angel Castillo carrying two long homemade weapons with blades attached. Despite repeated commands, he continued walking away. >> Sir, we're the police, man. >> Excuse me. Stop. Stop. I don't okay. >> All right. >> I'm okay. >> Don't do that. >> Okay, do it. I'm coming in. >> 96S7 code 33. We got a subject holding two knives. One at gunpoint. Okay, running down to the main portion. >> The tension rose when Castillo moved toward a man and two children sheltering behind a tree. One officer helped them reach safety while others kept their distance and called out, "Drop the knives." At that moment, every second mattered. >> Drop the knife. >> Challenging with knife. >> I GOT TASER. >> DROP THE KNIFE. DROP IT. DROP THE KNIFE. STOP AND DROP THE KNIFE. USE FORCE. >> HEY, DON'T MAKE >> WE'RE GOING TO USE FORCE. YOU STOP. WE'RE WHAT? >> The encounter continued into a shopping center parking lot. Officers attempted to use tasers, but police said they were ineffective. When Castillo began swinging the long objects, officers responded with their service weapons, bringing the immediate threat under control. Officers immediately provided medical assistance until paramedics arrived. No officers or bystanders were reported injured. The incident leaves a simple reminder in a tense encounter, choosing to cooperate early can change everything that follows. On November 6th, 2022, at approximately 1:30 p.m. in Alexandria, Louisiana, USA, a Rapides Parish Sheriff's Deputy stopped 45-year-old Derek J. Kittling on 7th Street near Broadway Avenue. What began as a routine traffic stop soon took an unexpected turn. >> [music] >> According to investigators, a physical struggle developed between Kittling and the deputy. During the confrontation, Kittling gained control of the deputy's taser. In a matter of seconds, a roadside encounter had become a critical situation for both men. >> DID I TASE? >> AS THE STRUGGLE CONTINUED, THE DEPUTY USED HIS service weapon and Kittling was seriously injured. Emergency crews quickly transported him to a local hospital. It was a powerful reminder of how little time officers may have to react when control of a situation suddenly changes. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. >> Louisiana State Police later took over the investigation. The case drew wider attention after Kittling's family, represented by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, called for the video evidence to be released publicly. Beyond the confrontation itself, the case left an important [music] question. When seconds can change everything, understanding the full picture matters. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. One shot to the head. One shot wound to the head. I'm bleeding from my head. >> Shots fired. >> Hey, hey, hey, HEY, HEY. >> STOP. >> BRO, STOP. >> ON August 22nd, 2022, at approximately 1:18 p.m. in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, police responded to SW 78th Street after reports of gunfire during an eviction notice. Two deputies had been struck and authorities said 35-year-old Benjamin Plank had left the area in a vehicle towing a boat with several firearms reportedly inside. >> As the suspect was on the northbound service road of Interstate 35, Sergeant Patton attempted to perform a TVI on the trailered boat of the suspect's vehicle. TVI stands for tactical vehicle intervention and is a controlled contact maneuver to disable. The TVI was unsuccessful, and the suspect continued driving entering onto Interstate 35 northbound. While entering onto the highway, the suspect [music] vehicle swerved hitting Sergeant Patton's vehicle. >> Officers soon located Plank and attempted to stop him, but he refused beginning a pursuit onto Interstate 35. According to police, Plank then fired a rifle toward pursuing officers who responded while continuing to protect surrounding traffic. In seconds, an already dangerous pursuit had reached another level. >> And he discharges rifle at the suspect as he drove past him. The suspect continued driving that vehicle. The suspect swerved the outside shoulder of the highway, but then continued north. The suspect held a rifle out of the window as he pulled up to the gate with several occupied vehicles around. As the suspect came to a stop at the gate, he was still holding the rifle out of the window before dropping it to the ground and exiting the vehicle with his hands in the air. >> The pursuit continued onto Interstate 40 before Plank finally stopped at the gate of Tinker Air Force Base and surrendered. After miles of uncertainty, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. The chase was finally over without further escalation. >> Hey, hey, hey, HEY, HEY. >> STOP, STOP, STOP. >> BRUCE, STOP, STOP. >> Put your hands behind your back. Hands behind your >> I can't, I can't. >> GET ON YOUR GET ON YOUR STOMACH. GET ON >> PLANK WAS TAKEN FOR MEDICAL evaluation and later booked on multiple serious charges. One deputy had suffered an irreversible outcome while Deputy Mark Johns was injured and later released from the hospital. The incident leaves a sobering reminder, refusing to stop can turn one reckless decision into consequences that reach far beyond the person behind the wheel. >> Who's this? >> Walking back towards us. >> Stop. >> Stop the vehicle. >> On September 23rd, 2020, Gonzalez repeatedly refused commands to put the gun down and made concerning statements about harming himself. Crisis officers, negotiators, and SWAT were called in while nearby residents were moved to safety. For nearly 2 hours, officers kept talking to him, hoping patience and communication could bring the situation to a peaceful end. At approximately 11:51 a.m., SWAT officers moved in using tasers and less lethal equipment, but police said those measures were ineffective. When Gonzalez reached toward the handgun in his waistband, an officer responded with his service weapon. After hours of negotiation, everything changed in only a few seconds. >> We're trying to get you water, bro. Stop moving. We're trying to get you water. >> Officers immediately moved forward to provide medical assistance. The woman who called 911, the children, nearby residents, and officers were reported physically unharmed. The incident leaves a difficult lesson. Even after hours of patience and negotiation, one sudden decision can change the course of an entire encounter. On December 18th, 2025, at approximately 2:06 a.m. near North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, an officer spotted a white Chevrolet Malibu traveling well above the speed limit on Interstate 40. The highway was mostly quiet, but at that speed, even an empty road could become unpredictable in seconds. When officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver accelerated instead. The Malibu pushed past 100 mph, changing lanes as the pursuit continued through the night. With a construction zone ahead and lanes becoming narrower, the margin for error was disappearing fast. Rather than let the pursuit continue into more dangerous conditions, officers moved to end it. Working together, they boxed in the Malibu and guided it to a controlled stop on the shoulder. After all that speed and tension, the road suddenly became quiet again. >> [screaming] >> The driver stepped out slowly, visibly shaken, and the encounter ended without anyone else being harmed or further damage occurring. Sometimes the biggest lesson comes after the engine stops. Slowing down a few minutes earlier can prevent consequences that last far longer than the journey itself. On a clear day in Coweta County, Georgia, USA, a state trooper clocked a Jeep traveling at 89 mph on Interstate 85. Its aggressive movement through traffic quickly caught the officer's attention, turning an ordinary highway patrol into something far more serious. When the trooper activated his lights and siren, the driver refused to stop and accelerated past 100 mph. As traffic grew heavier, other motorists were forced to react and every extra second brought another risk. With the Jeep heading toward heavier traffic, the trooper used a PIT maneuver to bring the pursuit to an end. The Jeep was brought under control before the situation could spread farther down the interstate. Sometimes ending the danger early is the decision that protects everyone else on the road. The driver, identified as 18-year-old Ryan Patrick Johnston, was detained along with four occupants. Officers reported signs of impairment and Johnston declined initial testing. The highway soon returned to normal, leaving a simple reminder, a few reckless moments behind the wheel can create consequences far greater than the time someone hoped to save. >> Everybody out of the vehicle. Get get Come toward me. Come on. GET ON THE GROUND. EVERYBODY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. >> WHAT? >> WHAT? All right. Everybody Everybody ON THE GET OUT HERE. >> On April 25th, 2024, at approximately 6:53 a.m. in Bryant, Arkansas, USA, morning traffic was beginning to build when a white Chevrolet S-10 entered the area with county deputies already in pursuit. A state trooper soon took the lead and what should have been a quiet morning commute quickly became unpredictable. Moments later, the driver crossed into oncoming lanes, forcing other motorists to react quickly. With everyday commuters suddenly exposed to the danger, officers had little room to let the pursuit continue. Every passing second increased the risk for people who had nothing to do with the chase. The trooper then used a tactical maneuver to stop the S-10. The truck left the roadway and came to rest near a church, finally bringing the pursuit to an end. In a matter of moments, a chaotic stretch of road became quiet again. >> [screaming] >> The driver was secured without further escalation and traffic gradually returned to normal. The incident leaves a simple lesson. When panic takes control behind the wheel, familiar roads can become dangerous in seconds. Choosing to stop sooner can change everything that comes next. >> Yeah, take the cigarette out of your mouth. First of all >> all. >> On December 24th, 2025, at approximately 4:11 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, an officer noticed a red Honda Pilot drifting between lanes near John Barrow Road and I-630. On an otherwise quiet morning, the vehicle's unusual movement quickly raised concern. >> This person's driving pattern is all over the place. They're all over the road. Turning on signals when there's nowhere to signal. They have stopped abruptly. I don't like that at all. They're not even Ramp to 6:30 East from here. >> When officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver hesitated, stopped in unsafe locations, then continued slowly toward the interstate despite [music] repeated instructions. What looked like a simple stop was becoming increasingly unpredictable, especially with concrete barriers and other road users nearby. >> Go to the shoulder. They had a chance to take this exit. They're not going very fast and they're in the middle of the lane. Pass if necessary right now on the ground. Yeah, 10-11 10-23 10-30. >> As the driver continued to ignore instructions, officers intervened and brought the Honda to a stop near the concrete barriers. After several uncertain moments, the vehicle was finally under control before the situation could become more dangerous. >> EMS copy that. 10-11. 10-59 10-11. That's 10-14. SEE EMS COPY THAT. >> QUIT YOUR REACHING! QUIT REACHING! >> I'M REALLY SORRY, MY FRIEND. >> IT'S TOO LATE FOR SORRY. Come here. >> The driver, identified as Maria Mejia, showed signs of impairment and was taken for medical evaluation. The quiet roadway soon returned to normal, but the lesson remained. Getting behind the wheel without being fully capable of driving safely can place far more than one person at risk. Sometimes the safest decision is the one made before the engine ever starts. >> Yep, come on. >> I don't know why you don't like me. >> You're going to the hospital first and you're going to jail. >> I'm new in my place. May I have your phone number, please? >> Later. >> January 11th, 2025, Eugene, Oregon, USA. Police responded to a reported trespassing incident at a vacant property on River Road. 41-year-old Jehosaphat Commandest said he believed a neighbor had given him permission to collect scrap materials. >> Hey, it's [ __ ] hot! >> 10-11 10-23 10-30 South side of Eugene right now. >> 3217 respond. >> 4212 I got >> [screaming] >> 3036 River Road, 146 and any any other units respond. 3014336 River Road. >> I got first. >> 146 >> When officers Steven Lam and Lindsey Collier arrived, Commandest cooperated and agreed to return the materials if asked. He was handcuffed and escorted toward a patrol car. Then, according to later court filings and dashcam footage, the situation suddenly escalated. Court filings allege that officer Lam used physical force and deployed a taser several times while Commandest was restrained. The incident later raised questions about whether the response was appropriate for the situation. [music] with trespassing and resisting arrest. The resisting charge was later dismissed while [music] he pleaded guilty to trespassing. A police audit later found that Lam's use of force violated department policy. Lam resigned in November 2025. In July 2026, Commandest filed a lawsuit seeking up to $1 million. One brief encounter had now become a much larger question of accountability and restraint. >> I need four additional units. Good. 102 >> Get down! DROP THE GUN! >> 411 MORE SHOTS FIRED. >> December 27th, 2022, Thornton, Colorado, USA. Around 1:00 p.m., police responded to a reported armed robbery at a Wells Fargo bank on Colorado Boulevard. Witnesses said a man and woman had displayed firearms inside the bank. An officer soon spotted a vehicle leaving the area at high speed. Other officers joined the pursuit. The vehicle, later reported stolen, drove into oncoming traffic near 88th Avenue and Highway 2 before crashing into another car. What began as a police response was quickly turning into a dangerous situation for everyone nearby. >> This is your car. >> Hey! Hey! Shots fired! SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! 411 SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! Get down! DROP THE GUN! DROP THE GUN! DROP THE GUN! GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND!

While the male suspect then ran from the scene and reportedly tried to take another vehicle. Officers moved in and both suspects were eventually taken into custody. Two firearms were recovered. >> Get down! DROP THE GUN! 411 MORE SHOTS FIRED! GET ON THE GROUND! GET on the ground! Get on the ground! Get on the ground! Get on the ground! You in the car, put your hands up! Put your hands up, you in the car! Police, you're under arrest! >> Request Alpha Stage medical in the area. Copy 325. >> Watch him! >> Police, you're under arrest! Trapped in highway two. >> Driver Angel Matthew Gallegos faced multiple serious [music] charges including kidnapping, assault, aggravated robbery, vehicular eluding, and menacing. April Destiny Martinez also faced federal charges related [music] to the incident. A few decisions behind the wheel had turned a tense investigation into consequences that could follow both suspects for years. >> You in the car, put your hands up! Put your hands up! >> He's reaching for something. >> Put your hands up, you in the car! Police, you're under arrest! >> Request Alpha Stage medical in the area. Copy 325. >> POLICE, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST! I CAN SHOOT YOU! >> DON'T CARE! DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT! >> MAY 5TH, 2023. Los Angeles, California, USA. Around 12:40 a.m., officers assigned to the Southeast Patrol Division were conducting crime suppression patrols near Manchester Boulevard and Hoover Street. They noticed a man later identified as Hector Macias near an ATM and believed he might be carrying a firearm. Macias and two others quickly left in a white Mercedes. Officers began following the vehicle, which traveled onto the 110 and 10 freeways before stopping near Maple Avenue. Macias got out and ran. Officers ordered him to stop, but the pursuit continued on foot. Macias eventually fell in an open area beneath the freeway. When officers caught up, a struggle followed as he reached toward a satchel. According to the official account, Macias then produced a firearm AND OFFICERS RESPONDED. HE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. A loaded firearm was recovered at the scene, while one officer suffered minor abrasions. The Mercedes and its other occupants were not located. The incident involving officers Colt Worley and Anthony Lopez was later subject to review. In just a few minutes, a routine patrol had turned into a tense encounter, a reminder of how quickly circumstances can change when a weapon may be involved. >> I got it. Help one. Get him. Get him. Hey, stand by. Stand by. >> May 2nd, 2023, Los Angeles, California, USA. Around 9:40 a.m., officers working at the Red Line Metro Station near Vermont Avenue and Beverly Boulevard were approached by an 18-year-old passenger who reported that a man had threatened him with a knife. Officers soon located the suspect, identified as 23-year-old Mason Todd Swenor, still holding a knife. Officers repeatedly ordered Swenor to drop the knife, but he refused and ran toward the upper level. During the escape, authorities reported that he struck a 74-year-old woman and later injured a 61-year-old man on Vermont Avenue. The officers continued following him as the situation became increasingly tense. >> Put the knife away. Put it in your backpack. Put it in your backpack. Put it in your pocket. Hey, man, you got to go. You got to leave. >> Hey! Hey! Hey! >> Step back. Hey, before 2:45, let me get a back up. 4:50 man with a gun. Chris, 4:50 man with a knife. >> The pursuit ended in a parking lot near North Vermont Avenue. Officers again ordered Swenor to drop the knife. According to the official account, he suddenly moved toward one of the officers while still holding it. An officer-involved shooting followed, and Swenor dropped the knife before being taken into custody. >> Hey, drop the knife. Drop the [ __ ] knife. Move back. >> Put your hands on it. >> Move backwards. I'm not playing with you. Drop the knife. I want you to >> Hey, partner, get cover. Hey, standby.

Swenor was booked on an attempted murder charge with bail set at $2.125 million. In just minutes, a confrontation inside a busy station had affected several lives. A reminder that one decision can change the course of an entire day. >> I guess he's on Vermont, just north of Beverly. >> Hey, seconds ago. >> On May 3rd, 2026 at approximately 12:23 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police troopers were alerted that deputies from the Saline County Sheriff's Office were already pursuing a gray-blue 2004 Nissan 350Z headed toward the city. What began as a county pursuit was quickly becoming a serious public safety concern. >> TBI before uh 250. >> Do your hands! DO YOUR HANDS! DO YOUR HANDS! [screaming] DO YOUR HANDS! HANDS UP! >> TELL HIM TO TAKE DOWN. >> GET OUT THE CAR! Get out the car! Hands up! Hands up! Hands up! >> Put your BUTT BACK NOW! QUIT RESISTING! >> AS THE SPORTS car approached Baseline Road near Interstate 30, troopers observed it allegedly traveling at nearly 100 mph without headlights even after midnight. Dash cam footage captured the vehicle running a red light and weaving past unsuspecting drivers as speeds reportedly climbed to 118 mph. Trooper Jackson Shoemate joined as the secondary unit coordinating radio traffic while officers searched for a safe opportunity to intervene. >> You got You got on or anything? >> Yeah. >> All right, I'm going to sit in the back of my seat. Hold on, we'll figure out what we got going on, all right? Let's go to the over here. >> On September 14th, 2024, at approximately 1:01 a.m. in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA, Florida Highway Patrol troopers spotted a red motorcycle speeding along Interstate 95. A records check revealed the motorcycle was displaying a registration that had expired back in 2018. What could have been a routine traffic stop soon turned into something far more dangerous. Troopers identified the rider as 63-year-old Scott Thomas. [music] Instead of stopping, he allegedly continued traveling through several roadways, including Gateway Boulevard, Military Trail, and Woolbright Road, ignoring repeated attempts to pull him over. Dash cam footage shows the motorcycle weaving through traffic, entering lanes meant for oncoming vehicles, and creating tense moments for everyone sharing the road that night. >> As the pursuit stretched on, troopers reported that Thomas intentionally made contact with a patrol vehicle. For officers behind the wheel, each passing second carried uncertainty. Would the rider finally stop, or would another sudden decision place even more people in harm's way? The chase eventually came to an end on Charleston Shores Boulevard, where troopers safely moved in and took Thomas into custody. Authorities later stated that Thomas was booked on allegations including fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, and operating a vehicle with a suspended license. Investigators also discovered he had an active warrant in Palm Beach County, and that his driving privileges had been suspended since April 2024. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported. The incident serves as another reminder that avoiding responsibility for a simple traffic violation can quickly escalate into a situation carrying much heavier consequences. >> On July 22nd, 2024, at approximately 2:00 p.m. in DeLand, Florida, USA, FHP Trooper Brandon Cano was monitoring traffic on Interstate 4 when he clocked a black sedan traveling 90 mph in a 70 mph zone. At first, it looked like an ordinary speeding stop. >> Lower windows. All the way down, both windows. >> After pulling over, the driver and passenger suddenly switched seats inside the car. As Trooper Cano requested identification, the female stepped out with her hands raised while the male jumped back behind the wheel, looked directly at the trooper, and sped away. Sometimes, a single decision can change the course of an entire day. Dash cam footage captured the sedan weaving through traffic at speeds exceeding 135 mph using the shoulder and narrowly avoiding several crashes. The pursuit continued into the lane where Trooper Cano performed a PIT maneuver sending the vehicle into a fence and bringing the chase to an end. But the driver wasn't finished. He fled on foot into a wooded area prompting a large-scale search involving multiple agencies and an air unit. About 45 minutes later officers found and detained Patrick Bryan Gordon who is reportedly linked to active warrants, a suspended license, and suspected narcotics discovered inside the vehicle. The incident is another reminder that running from a traffic stop often leads to consequences far more serious than the original violation. April 2nd, 2024, North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. At around 1:33 p.m. State troopers working with the FBI attempted to stop a black pickup truck speeding along McCain Boulevard, but instead of slowing down, the driver accelerated and began weaving through traffic. The driver ignored traffic signals and continued through residential streets, turning a routine traffic stop into a dangerous pursuit. With every turn and every red light, the risk grew, not only for the driver, but for everyone sharing the road. As the pickup turned onto Greenway Drive, one of its tires came off, forcing the vehicle to stop. This time, the driver did not continue. He stepped out and surrendered peacefully as officers moved in. >> Hands out. [screaming] Hands. Hands out. >> Officers found a small amount of illegal substances inside the vehicle, and the detached tire had damaged a residential fence. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The investigation continued while the pursuit ended with a simple lesson. One decision to keep driving can turn a minor traffic issue into a much more serious situation. August 23rd, 2025, Clayton County, Georgia, USA. Around 8:20 p.m., an officer noticed a black motorcycle without a displayed tag near Riverdale Road. When the officer activated the emergency lights and siren, the rider suddenly accelerated toward Phoenix Boulevard. >> Speed is 90 mph. If you can advise your unit number and location, I'll advise your unit number and location. >> I'm on 4. We are I just fell >> The motorcycle continued toward Highway 314 [music] and reached speeds of about 105 mph. The rider weaved through traffic, ignored red lights, and traveled across Old National Highway. With vehicles moving in every direction, the situation became more unpredictable with every second. >> [music] >> Near the curve toward Herschel Road, the officer attempted to guide the motorcycle away from traffic. An approaching vehicle forced the rider toward the grass and guardrail, where the motorcycle went down. The rider finally stopped and surrendered. The rider was identified as Jimmy Gurley. He said he was not injured, but EMS was called to check on him before he was taken to Clayton County Jail. He faced multiple traffic-related [music] charges, including fleeing, reckless driving, speeding, and aggressive driving. [music] The entire pursuit was captured on body cam and dash cam. Sometimes the fastest way forward [music] is simply knowing when to stop. >> Who said it? No, he uh so I came around, I was starting to channelize him. >> All right, vehicle 41 41 right here. >> September 19th, 2025, Clayton County, Georgia, USA.

The driver crossed into the opposite lane and struggled to maintain control, putting other motorists at risk. >> Speeds are 106. >> All right, vehicle 41 41 right here. 41 41 [screaming] >> Approaching a curve, the driver lost control while trying to avoid another vehicle. The car left the roadway and crashed into the tree line. Moments later, the driver stepped out and was taken into custody without further incident. >> Hey, put your hands out. >> I'm not doing nothing. Hey, okay. Okay. Hey, okay. >> The driver was identified as Rohan Daley. Officers found that his license had been suspended and the vehicle had severely worn tires that may have contributed to the crash. Daley was taken to the Clayton County Detention Center while the vehicle was impounded. What began with an expired tag ended with a high-speed pursuit. A reminder that one attempt to avoid a traffic stop can create far greater consequences. >> I'm okay, man. I'm okay, man. >> June 11th, 2022, Georgia, USA. A Georgia State Patrol Trooper clocked Alexis traveling at 87 mph in a 55 mph zone on Georgia 73 near Interstate 16. When the Trooper activated the emergency lights, the driver accelerated onto Interstate 16 West instead of stopping. >> All right. All right. >> The Lexus zoomed reached nearly 130 miles per hour. The pursuit continued onto Excelsior Church Road where the driver reportedly [music] ignored a stop sign, drove at high speed, and entered the opposite lane around curves. The tension kept building as the road became more difficult to control. >> The Lexus eventually turned onto McElveen Pond Road and came to an abrupt stop on a dirt road. Because of the loose gravel, the pursuing patrol car struck the rear of the Lexus, leaving both vehicles disabled. In an instant, the chase was over. >> [screaming] >> The driver, identified as Louis Grace, was taken into custody. According to the [music] report, he showed signs of alcohol impairment and later admitted to drinking.

On the ground. >> On February 25th, 2023 at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Interstate 40 near Alexander, Arkansas, USA, local Alexander Police Department officers attempted to stop a motorcycle that had no license plate. The rider refused to pull over and the pursuit quickly escalated, prompting the Arkansas State Police to intercept and assist before Alexander officers took back the lead. As the pursuit continued at high speed, the motorcycle weaved through traffic with no sign of stopping. Officers coordinated their positions while waiting for the right moment to act. The rider showed no intention of giving up, pushing the chase further down the interstate and putting other motorists at serious risk. An Alexander Police Department officer executed a tactical vehicle intervention, making contact with the motorcycle and pushing it into the concrete divider. The rider was thrown from the bike and taken into custody at the scene. In a dramatic twist, the motorcycle continued rolling down the interstate on its own before colliding into the back of the Alexander Police Department patrol car. >> Get on THE GROUND. HEY, GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. >> DISPATCH THE 111. >> GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. YES, SIR. Get on the ground. >> The rider was taken into custody and the patrol car sustained rear-end damage from the drifting motorcycle. After being apprehended, the rider complained about the damage to his motorcycle while officers discussed the logistics of the stop around him. Running from a simple license plate violation only added more problems to what was already a bad situation. >> Sir. Is this a city now, or are we actually Alexander guy kind of working to the >> That's clear. >> On May 24th, 2023 in Lowndes County, Georgia, USA, a sheriff's deputy was managing the scene of a traffic crash along Highway 84 when an oncoming car came speeding down the lane without slowing down. >> THAT'S CLEAR. AT THEIR LAST 10-50 10-50 ROLLOVER. >> THE CAR struck the back of a tow truck parked on the roadside, launching it into the air before landing back upright. Without hesitation, a deputy rushed toward the wreck to help the driver trapped inside. >> Hazmat secondary EMS immediate roll. Previous 10-50 at >> A deputy was struck by debris from the impact and taken to hospital, though her injuries were not serious. The driver, a 21-year-old woman from Tallahassee, Florida, survived with serious injuries and was recovering in stable condition. The tow truck sustained heavy damage from the collision. Even at a scene meant to keep people safe, danger can arrive without a single second of warning. >> I'm taking the emergency roll. >> On May 24th, 2023, on Interstate 75 southbound in Cobb County, Georgia, USA, police officers located a stolen pickup truck driven by a suspect wanted for an attempted armed robbery. When officers tried to stop the vehicle, the driver refused to pull over and sped away, triggering a pursuit through increasingly congested traffic. >> We're heavy traffic on the right shoulder on 75. >> As vehicles filled the Interstate, the suspect swerved onto the shoulder and attempted to escape using an exit ramp. An officer used his patrol vehicle to strike the truck, bringing the pursuit to an abrupt end. Officers quickly surrounded the vehicle with their weapons drawn as the suspect tossed a handgun onto the ground. >> Get on the [screaming] ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Hey, put up Put that down. Put it down. Put it down. >> [screaming] >> PUT IT DOWN. PUT IT [ __ ] DOWN. PUT THE KNIFE DOWN. Put it down. Put the knife down. PUT THE KNIFE DOWN. Put it down. Put it down. Put it down. >> Despite dropping the firearm, the suspect held a knife to his own throat and refused to comply for several tense moments. Eventually, he discarded the knife, lay down on the pavement, and surrendered peacefully. As officers moved in to handcuff him, the emotional suspect could be heard crying and saying, "I just wanted to get away." No officers or bystanders were injured during the incident, and the suspect was taken into custody without further resistance. Sometimes, the harder someone tries to escape the consequences of their actions, the more clearly they realize that surrender is the only road left to take. >> [screaming] >> On July 12th, 2023, on Interstate 40 in Arkansas, USA, a St. Francis County deputy was pursuing two gray Tesla vehicles traveling eastbound at dangerously high speeds. A state trooper ahead attempted to set up spike strips near the 274 mile marker, but had to abandon the plan due to heavy traffic and the rapid approach of the suspects. >> Using rear radar, the trooper clocked the lead Tesla at 92 mph in a 65 zone. The second Tesla abruptly exited at mile marker 275 while the first continued accelerating and weaving recklessly between lanes at triple-digit speeds. Ahead, traffic had come to a stop in two lanes and the suspect shot past everyone through the only open lane on the right. The suspect ran over spike strips placed by West Memphis Police Department officers near the Ingram Street overpass. The trooper attempted two tactical vehicle intervention maneuvers before finally spinning the Tesla into the concrete wall near mile marker 282.
