Hey adrenaline junkies, welcome to police chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series when people mess with the wrong cops where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. On April 24th, 2026 at 2:25 a.m. in Lake Forest, California, USA, deputies responded to a call after a man reportedly tried to enter a townhouse. What began as a late night dispute quickly became a tense situation. >> Okay, and what kind of weapon do you think he was going to pull out from where? >> I saw a firearm in the video and then he went to pull from his waistband, so I'm assuming it was a firearm. >> I pushed him back to try to see what it was. >> so you're not sure whether or not it was a firearm or not. You think that it was something >> [music] >> In the ring camera, it looked like a firearm. >> Okay. >> It could have been a BB gun. I'm not exactly sure, but he wasn't able to >> After reviewing security footage, deputies believe the man may have been carrying a firearm. A short time later, they located a vehicle connected to the suspect. >> You were going to be headed eastbound when you got pulled over here in this lot. >> When deputies attempted a traffic stop, the driver fled. The pursuit lasted less than a mile before the vehicle stopped and the suspect stepped out holding what appeared to be a handgun. >> Put your hands out. You got the gun? >> Firearms are over there. >> The suspect was later taken into custody and transported for treatment. Investigators recovered a handgun and a large knife at the scene. Authorities said he would face several serious charges. One impulsive choice turned a personal conflict into a life-changing event. >> What you got? >> I only have one. >> Heavy warning 6120. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> On the ground. Hey, hey, on the ground. >> On March 15th, 2026 in Springdale, Wisconsin, USA, officers spotted a stolen Kia Sorento speeding down Highway 151. Investigators believe the vehicle was connected to a serious incident reported earlier that day, turning a routine patrol into a high-risk situation. >> 6712, we're in the number one lane. Past 181. Can do that. >> When officers activated their lights, the driver refused to stop. More units joined the pursuit as spike strips were deployed ahead, but the suspect continued [music] speeding down the highway. >> Switching back over to the number one lane, speeds are 65. Light traffic. Where's my first set of spikes at? 6712, we're continuing past 189, still in the number one lane. Number two lane. Right there. Spikes missed. Continuing southbound, number one lane. He swerved around the spikes. He's pulling over. We're at Spring Rose Road. Bail, bail, bail. >> After several miles, the vehicle finally pulled over near Spring Rose Road. Just when it seemed the chase was over, officers reported that the suspect [music] exited carrying a hammer and moved toward a patrol vehicle, forcing deputies to react within seconds. >> Get on the ground. GET ON THE GROUND. STOP. DON'T. DON'T. Get the [ __ ] on the ground. HEY. HEY. GET THE [ __ ] ON THE GROUND. Shots fired. Shots fired. I got one down. He's still at the hammer. He tried to take my squad. >> The suspect was eventually subdued and taken for medical care. Authorities later determined that the officer's actions were justified under the circumstances. The case is a reminder that choosing to run from responsibility often leads to far greater consequences than facing the situation calmly. >> He tried to take my squad. Drop the hammer. Get him out. >> Hey, get over IN THIS LANE. GET OVER IN >> GET OVER. BLOCK IT. BLOCK IT. >> HEY, gunshots fired. >> Do you know if there's somebody running or what? >> Shots fired. Shots fired. >> Shortly after midnight on October 12th, 2025 in Warren, Ohio, USA, deputies responded to reports of a domestic disturbance in Bristol Township. Family members told dispatchers that 41-year-old Brad Bailey was behaving erratically and tensions inside the home had been rising throughout the night. Deputies arrived and managed to calm the situation. Bailey agreed to leave and was taken to another Township for the night. For a few hours, it appeared the conflict had finally come to an end, but around 6:00 a.m. a new series of emergency calls came in. Family members reported that Bailey had returned, forced his way back into the home, assaulted several people, and left in a family vehicle. As officers attempted to stop him, he fled. The pursuit ended after spike strips disabled the car, but the tension continued when Bailey ran into a wooded area carrying what appeared to be a handgun. Investigators said Bailey later confronted officers during the encounter. Despite immediate aid efforts afterward, the incident ended tragically. Authorities later determined that the object he carried was a realistic replica firearm. The case highlights how quickly a family dispute can escalate when emotions take control and decisions are made in anger. >> Jesus [ __ ] Christ. >> He's got a squad. Squatting around. >> Oh my god. >> [music] >> All one unit code six. >> What direction? >> Copy. >> On April 16th, 2023 in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA, police were investigating a reported hit-and-run when they spotted a green Mazda believed to be involved. The driver appeared nervous and suddenly changed direction after noticing officers nearby. When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver chose not to pull over. The pursuit continued through city streets before the car entered the transit area near the Mall of America. >> In the transit area. They tried to stop the vehicle when it entered the transit area. 395 He's going up the on 24th. Trying to pit. >> Dash cam footage later revealed that during a slower section of the pursuit, the two occupants switched seats inside the moving vehicle. What seemed like a small detail would later become an important part of the investigation. Officers eventually brought the pursuit to a safe end and detained both occupants. >> Hands up! >> [screaming] >> PUT YOUR HANDS UP! PUT YOUR HANDS UP, PASSENGER. DO NOT GET YOUR >> DON'T REACH FOR ANYTHING, MAN. You understand me? >> Put your hands up from here, man. Face the car and walk backwards. Walk to your left. Face the car with your hands up. Keep walking to your left. PASSENGER, YOU GET YOUR HANDS UP! All right, keep coming backwards to the sound of my voice. >> Three seventy two, I'm pulling up to three hundred stop. >> Court records show both individuals later face legal consequences with [music] the driver receiving a prison sentence and probation. The case serves as a reminder that attempting to avoid responsibility often creates even bigger problems down the road. >> I've been ready for a while, Chris. We got the driver in cuffs. We're going to follow his path in a second. >> Have the driver in cuffs, please. >> Put your hands up! Hands up! Face away from me. Face away from me. Face away from me. Walk backwards. Hands up! >> Get out of your pocket, dude. >> All the way in the air. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. That's to your left. >> Five one, I'm at the mall. We have two in custody. We'll be clearing the car in a >> No, no, no, no, no, turn right here. Turn right >> On August 7th, 2021 at 7:47 a.m. in Arkansas, USA, a state trooper stopped an SUV for speeding. During the traffic stop, the trooper noticed signs that the driver might be impaired, turning a routine enforcement action into a much more unusual encounter. I just like I can smell alcohol inside the vehicle. Nobody's been drinking this morning, have they? The driver was asked to perform field sobriety tests, but her behavior became increasingly unpredictable as the trooper continued the investigation. Confusion and panic appeared to take over. >> Blow till this thing clicks. You'll hear it click audible click. All right, big deep blow. Blow. >> What's that? >> It's a PBT, portable breath test. >> Huh? >> It's a portable breath test. Big deep breath. >> They're on top of your vehicle. >> Where? >> On top of your vehicle. >> You're shooting me. >> No, I'm not shooting you. This is a PBT. >> I have to go. >> Turn around, put your hands behind your back. Ma'am. >> Wait. >> I'm going to take you to jail to test you for the DUI. >> The situation escalated when the driver misunderstood the trooper's actions and became resistant. What should have been a straightforward traffic stop quickly turned into a chaotic roadside confrontation captured on camera. >> Right here on the driver's door. >> Turn around. >> Can I have a piece of paper? >> No, ma'am, you cannot. You have to pull your pants up. Pull your pants up. >> I have to >> Pull your pants up. Pull your pants up. I'm shooting you. I'm shooting >> making me >> Ma'am, stop. Ma'am, put your hands behind your back. >> What are you doing? >> But, I'M TAKING YOU TO >> WAIT! STOP! >> GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. NO! STAY IN THE VEHICLE. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT your hands behind your >> You JUST MADE ME STOP! STOP IT! >> I'LL TAZE YOU RIGHT HERE. STAY in the vehicle. I got you, ma'am. I'll taze you. But, get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> Don't do anything. Don't do it. Shoot >> Get on the ground. >> Joey! Joey! >> Get on the ground. >> Don't do it. I'm sorry. >> Turn off the car. Ma'am. Ma'am, get on the ground. >> Are you going to >> No, I'm not going to kill you. I want you to put your hands behind your back. >> The driver was eventually taken into custody without further danger to the public. The incident highlights how impaired judgment and emotional reactions can quickly turn a manageable situation into one filled with unnecessary consequences. On August 23rd, 2022 in Tampa, Florida, USA, police responded to a series of vehicle theft and home intrusion reports involving the same suspect. Within a short period of time, several victims found themselves caught in a rapidly unfolding chain of events. Investigators say the suspect first took a vehicle from a woman on her way to work, then later entered a residence and forced an acquaintance out of the home. After abandoning that vehicle, he allegedly took a box truck and fled the area. >> Problem like red shirt, beard. Okay, wrong way Archer. Wrong way Archer at track. 500 block. Reserve at Napa. Reserve at Napa. Back in the right lane of travel. I'm at the celebration park. I'm behind you. Do you have any units? >> Using GPS data from the truck, officers tracked the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, the driver continued fleeing and even drove northbound in the southbound lanes of Interstate 70. Several attempts to stop the vehicle followed as patrol units worked to protect other drivers on the road. >> I'm still in danger. I think he can get that big box truck. All right, where you at now? Archer 93. Archer 93. 75 going to take over 270. 270. I can go up next, please. >> [screaming] >> Northbound into the new >> [screaming] >> Butler Plaza. Northbound 370 pull over. >> [screaming] >> He's getting locked in at the Butler Plaza. He's pulling into the bus spot. We are going through the Butler Plaza. Through the Butler Plaza. All right. >> The pursuit eventually came to an end and the suspect was taken into custody after attempting to leave the vehicle on foot. Authorities later announced multiple felony charges connected to the incident. The case is a reminder that one reckless decision can quickly spiral into a series of events affecting many innocent people. On April 9th, 2015 in Boise, Idaho, USA, a routine traffic stop quickly turned into a dangerous pursuit when a pickup truck driver briefly pulled over before suddenly driving away. As the chase entered Elmore County, the driver began losing control of the pickup. Dash cam footage captured the vehicle drifting across lanes before leaving the roadway and rolling over. Despite the dramatic crash, the suspect got up and attempted to run across the interstate. A state trooper chased the suspect on foot and eventually caught up with him. Witnesses nearby even stopped to assist during the struggle. The incident serves as another reminder that fleeing from law enforcement often increases the danger for everyone involved and rarely changes the final outcome. >> On August 22nd, 2021, in Greenfield, Wisconsin, USA, a police officer witnessed a driver run a red light and attempted a traffic stop. What began as a simple traffic violation would soon develop into one of the most intense incidents captured on body camera. Despite repeated commands to pull over, the driver refused to stop. Additional officers joined the pursuit, and even after spike strips were deployed, the suspect continued driving before eventually crashing into another vehicle. >> DON'T MOVE! >> DON'T MOVE! DON'T MOVE! DON'T MOVE! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS RIGHT [ __ ] NOW! PUT YOUR [ __ ] HANDS UP OR I'LL [ __ ] SHOOT YOU! PUT your [ __ ] HANDS UP OR I'LL SHOOT YOU! PUT YOUR [ __ ] HANDS UP! HANDS UP! HANDS UP! HANDS UP! >> After the crash, officers repeatedly ordered the driver to show his hands, but he refused. As officers tried to assess the threat, the situation suddenly escalated. A chaotic scene unfolded within seconds, forcing officers to react immediately to protect themselves and those nearby. >> Let me SEE THAT RIGHT HAND! SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! I'M HIT! I'M HIT! >> GOOD MORNING, GUYS. >> [ __ ] YOU HERE. >> THE SUSPECT WAS eventually stopped, and the injured officer received emergency medical care. Authorities later reported that the officer [music] recovered and was expected to make a full return. The incident serves as a powerful reminder that even a routine traffic stop can change dramatically when someone chooses not to cooperate with lawful commands. >> Please don't let me die. I'm begging you. I believe >> And I got you. I got you. >> On March 23rd, 2026, while patrolling Highway 27 in Havana, Florida, USA, a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper noticed a white GMC Sierra with window tint that appeared darker than legally permitted. What seemed like a routine traffic stop was about to take an unexpected turn. >> How are you doing? Good, man. Hey, I just noticed it was a rental. Did you put the [music] tint on or did it come that way? >> The driver pulled into an Exxon gas station where troopers contacted him and a female passenger. When officers requested the occupants exit the vehicle so a K9 unit could conduct an exterior inspection, [music] the driver refused. Moments later, he rolled up the windows, put the truck in gear, and sped away from the scene. >> Come on, man. Come on. Cooperate with me. I think >> A high-speed pursuit immediately followed with authorities reporting speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour. After several miles, troopers used pursuit intervention tactics to stop the truck. The vehicle lost control, rolled multiple times, and came to rest upside down in a roadside ravine. After repeated commands, both occupants exited the vehicle and were safely taken into custody. As recovery crews lifted the truck from the ravine, investigators discovered a large cardboard box hidden beneath the vehicle. Inside was approximately 14 lb of methamphetamine. What began as a window tint violation quickly evolved into a major narcotics [music] case. The incident serves as a reminder that routine traffic stops can sometimes uncover far more serious criminal activity than anyone initially expects. >> Oh, [ __ ] >> You about to say um >> On July 9th, 2022 at 11:10 p.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Trooper Jacob Bird observed a white Dodge Charger traveling 90 mph in a 40 mph zone. He turned around and attempted to catch up with the vehicle. >> It's a white charger. David Adam 263070. White Dodge Charger. >> As the trooper closed the distance, the driver switched off the vehicle's lights in an apparent attempt to avoid detection. When emergency lights were activated, the driver refused to stop and accelerated away, leading officers on a dangerous pursuit through city streets. >> That's 36. I got a tour faster. Got a front right faster and back left faster. >> During the pursuit, the suspect ran multiple red lights, drove into oncoming lanes, and reached speeds exceeding 100 mph. At one point, the vehicle narrowly avoided a collision with a fire truck. Near the intersection of Stagecoach and Leonhardt, Trooper Bird successfully performed a PIT maneuver, bringing the chase to an end. >> Put your phone down. Keep your hands up. Driver, keep your hands up. Why you driving like that? Everybody just keep your hands up. Step out, face away from us. Keep your Keep your hands up. Keep your hands up. Turn around. Turn around. Walk backwards to me. >> After backup arrived, all occupants were safely detained. The passengers were later released, while driver Alex Bernard was arrested and charged with multiple offenses. In November 2022, he received 4 years of supervised probation. The case remains a reminder that a single reckless decision behind the wheel can place countless lives at risk. >> Turn around. Walk back to me. Walk back. Walk back. Walk back. Step out. Face away from me. Face away from See what I'm saying? See what I'm saying? Right here. Do what? The guy that was standing right here. Yeah. Yeah. You good? >> On April 2019 in Citrus County, Florida, USA, Florida Highway Patrol troopers began pursuing a stolen Ford F-250 driven by 22-year-old Travis Dwayne Lovett. What started as a vehicle theft investigation quickly expanded into a multi-county pursuit. >> According to investigators, Lovett refused to stop and lead troopers through three counties. During the pursuit, authorities reported that he attempted to evade capture while creating an increasingly dangerous situation on public roads. Dash cam footage later documented much of the chase as law enforcement worked to bring the incident under control. The situation reached its peak when troopers used a tactical vehicle intervention to stop the stolen truck near Sumter County Road 476 outside Bushnell. The pursuit finally came to an end after approximately 30 miles. Responding officers quickly secured the scene and took control of the situation. Following the incident, Lovett was transported for medical evaluation and later faced multiple criminal charges. A jury ultimately found him guilty in connection with stealing the truck and leading officers on the multi-county pursuit. The case serves as another reminder that attempting to flee from law enforcement often results in far more serious legal consequences than the original offense. >> In the area, stop. All right, stop. Get him out of the car. Careful. I got him. Get him on the side. One more officer. >> Stop walking towards me. STOP. STOP. STOP. >> ON MAY 30TH, 2026, at around 9:30 p.m. in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, what started as a simple basketball night with friends suddenly turned into a situation no one expected. According to several 911 calls, 27-year-old Martin Nitskin Jr. began acting unpredictably, leaving friends and neighbors concerned for their safety. >> Where's everybody at? Who's this dude right here? What's his name? His name? What's his name? >> As more calls came in, witnesses reported that he was moving through the neighborhood in a highly unusual state. Several people believed he was experiencing a serious mental health crisis. It is a reminder of how quickly an ordinary evening can change when someone appears to lose control of their emotions and actions. >> SHOW ME YOUR RIGHT HAND. SHOW ME YOUR OTHER HAND NOW. STOP. STOP WALKING TOWARDS ME. SHOW ME YOUR RIGHT HAND. SHOW ME OTHER HAND. STOP. STOP. >> [screaming] >> STOP. STOP WALKING TOWARDS ME. STOP WALKING TOWARDS ME. STOP. [screaming] STOP. STOP. >> GO AHEAD. >> ONE BAKER, SHOTS FIRED. ONE BAKER, shots fired. Get down on the ground. >> Officer Nathan Stotts arrived at the scene and located Nitskin in the roadway. Body camera footage later showed the officer repeatedly giving commands while trying to manage a rapidly developing situation. Tension continued to build as bystanders watched from a distance, unsure of how the encounter would end. >> Show me your other hand, now. STOP. STOP WALKING TOWARDS ME. SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. SHOW ME YOUR OTHER HAND. STOP. >> [screaming] >> STOP. STOP. STOP WALKING TOWARDS ME. STOP. >> [screaming] >> STOP. STOP. ALL RIGHT. ONE BAKER, SHOTS FIRED. ONE BAKER, shots fired. Get down on the ground. >> The incident soon drew public attention and became the subject of official reviews. Police leadership later stated that the officers' actions did not meet department standards. Looking back, the case highlights the challenges officers, families, and communities face during mental health emergencies, where every decision can have lasting consequences. >> LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND, FLAT. LAY DOWN FLAT. LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND, FLAT. LAY FLAT ON THE GROUND. Lay flat down on the ground, now. GET ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. >> ON JANUARY 30TH, 2026, AT approximately 4:05 a.m. in Crofton, Maryland, USA, officers responded to a 911 call from a woman reporting a dispute with her adult son, Diaunta Quarles Jr. She told dispatchers that she was trapped inside a bedroom and could not leave on her own. >> Dispatch, we're trying to get one of them to come out. Every time she tries to go to the door, he's pushing her on the bed. And it's only her and him in the house. >> Any animals? >> They might. >> One broke. >> What's that? >> One broke. >> Let's wait till we get them out the door. >> COUNTY POLICE! COUNTY POLICE! >> CALLER. >> WHEN officers arrived, the caller instructed them to force their way into the home. After entering the residence, they made their way upstairs and located the locked bedroom. Once inside, officers ordered Quarles to get on the ground. He initially complied, but the situation changed almost immediately. >> County police, MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN! WHERE YOU AT? IS HE ARMED? Let me see your hands. GET ON THE GROUND, NOW! GET ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW! DON'T MOVE. >> [screaming] >> YOU'RE GOING TO GET TASED. GET ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. GET ON THE GROUND. >> WITHIN SECONDS, A STRUGGLE BROKE OUT. Officers attempted several methods to gain control, but the encounter quickly became chaotic. One officer suffered serious injuries during the confrontation as fellow officers worked to bring the situation under control. Body cam footage later revealed just how fast the incident unfolded, turning what appeared to be a routine domestic disturbance call into a high-risk emergency. >> Get on the ground right now. GET ON THE GROUND. DO THAT. COME ON, DO THAT, BOY. DO THAT. COME ON, DO THAT, BOY. >> THE INCIDENT SOON BECAME THE SUBJECT OF OFFICIAL INVESTIGATIONS. Looking back, it serves as a reminder that officers responding to family disputes often enter unpredictable situations where circumstances can change in an instant. For everyone involved, it was a night that began with a call for help and ended with consequences no one expected. >> [sighs] >> DON'T BITE ME. >> GET THE GET OFF OF ME. >> TURN AROUND. >> ON FEBRUARY 23RD, 2026, late in the morning in Orlando, Florida, USA, a routine drive through city traffic suddenly escalated into a confrontation that would leave several people shaken. What began with a simple horn honk quickly turned into something far more serious. According to witnesses, a female driver became upset after being honked at during normal traffic movement. She allegedly began slowing down and stopping in front of another vehicle, causing tensions to rise. Moments later, she abruptly exited her car and approached the other driver, turning a traffic dispute into a physical confrontation. An elderly woman who witnessed the incident attempted to intervene but was also caught up in the altercation. >> Put your hands cuffs. You're going to be detained until I I determine otherwise. Do you understand? >> this all night long. >> Don't Don't resist me. Don't >> why. Tell me why. First of all, tell me why. >> Don't resist. You're being You're being held for battery. Okay. Do not hold Do not resist. >> Stop. God damn. >> Responding Orlando police officers quickly located the suspect using descriptions provided by victims and witnesses. However, the situation escalated once again when officers attempted to take her into custody. Authorities say the suspect actively resisted arrest, creating a tense and rapidly evolving scene before officers finally secured control of the situation. >> DON'T BITE ME. >> GET THE GET OFF OF ME. >> TURN AROUND. >> 37-year-old Mandolin Shafer Brockwell was later arrested and booked on multiple charges related to the incident. What started as a brief moment of frustration in traffic ultimately resulted in serious legal consequences. The case serves as a reminder that losing control of emotions on the road can transform an ordinary day into an event that affects many lives. >> I'm going to buckle you in, okay? >> I'm shot. Listen. I'm on the floor now. >> Yeah. >> [snorts] >> Oh, [ __ ] OH, [ __ ] I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. >> ON MARCH 20TH, 2026, at approximately 1:00 a.m. in Rochester, New York, USA, a Rochester police officer approached a man on Lake Avenue while following up on information related to a recent shooting investigation. What appeared to be a routine contact quickly turned into a critical incident. >> Oh, [ __ ] OH, [ __ ] I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. [ __ ] HELP. >> HOLD THE AIR. >> AS THE OFFICER APPROACHED, the man suddenly produced a handgun and fired several shots before fleeing southbound. The officer was injured during the encounter, but remained calm enough to apply a tourniquet to himself while waiting for additional units to arrive. >> 201 Turn it over there now. 20 30 here on the mobile locus, please. 241 Hold the air for all. We are Going to get out. Make sure he's not getting out. >> Officers from multiple agencies quickly flooded the area, establishing a search perimeter and conducting an intensive manhunt throughout the early morning hours. Around 5:00 a.m., the Rochester Police Department's drone unit detected a heat signature hidden among brush and debris behind a building on Lake Avenue. The search reached its final stage as tactical teams moved in to secure the area. >> Oh, [ __ ] OH, [ __ ] I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. I'M SHOT. [ __ ] HELP. HOLD THE AIR. >> AUTHORITIES LATER STATED that no law enforcement officer discharged a weapon during the final encounter. The injured officer was transported to the hospital where his injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening and he later continued his recovery at home. The case highlighted both the dangers officers face in the line of duty and the coordinated efforts of multiple agencies during a rapidly evolving emergency. >> I lost my flashlight. It's just It's a It's a tire top. It's a tire top. >> From high-speed pursuits to moments where decisions go too far, these real stories remind us that every action carries consequences.
