FIRST. 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. On May 23rd, 2026, at approximately 8:50 p.m. in Los Angeles, California, USA, officers from the LAPD spotted a Tesla driving recklessly along Figureroa Street near 61st Street. What seemed like a routine traffic stop would soon turn into an incident no one expected. >> We're continuing the pursuit northbound big three. No, it's I don't have the plate. Suspect is 2 northbound on paper 61 Tesla. >> When officers activated their emergency lights, the driver refused to stop and accelerated away, leading police on a brief pursuit. Although officers ended the chase because of the vehicle's high speed, they continued monitoring the area. Moments later, the Tesla appeared to collide with a cyclist before speeding away again. Officers immediately stopped to check on the cyclist, who chose to leave the scene on their own. It was a reminder that chaos often unfolds faster than anyone can react. >> What else? >> They had a pet of slave. >> A short time later, another patrol unit spotted the same Tesla speeding along Slen Avenue. Officers turned around and followed only to see the vehicle collide with a Mercedes-Benz at the intersection of Slen Avenue and Danker Avenue. >> 45. We're going to be code six on that white Tesla. We're going to be on >> the driver abandoned the Tesla and attempted to flee on foot, but officers quickly caught up and took him into custody without further confrontation. Clear boy southbound on danger. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. The driver was identified as 23-year-old Tomai Dampier and was arrested on allegations of felony evading resulting in severe consequences under California law. Emergency responders also arrived to [music] assist everyone affected by the collision. While specialized support teams help those involved, this case serves as a powerful reminder that choosing to flee from law enforcement can trigger consequences far beyond a simple traffic stop, affecting many innocent lives along the way. Oh my god. On July 12th, at approximately 8:19 a.m. in Paduca, Kentucky, USA, officers responded to reports of a suspected houseire and a domestic assault. What began as a call for help quickly revealed a much more complicated situation, reminding everyone that the most dangerous moments often begin behind closed doors. I can guarantee it's the most productive thing he'll do all day tonight. He's eating poop, you know. >> I don't know about the poop part yet. At the scene, officers spoke with the woman involved, who reported that she had been assaulted before the fire suddenly broke out inside the home. The suspect allegedly took her vehicle and left before emergency crews arrived. As investigators examined the residence, they found extensive fire damage, and the layout suggested the victim's escape route had been severely [music] limited. Officers gathered evidence carefully while working to locate the suspect as quickly as possible. Could every minute now make the difference? Is that him? >> Going the wrong way on 60. [screaming] >> As the search expanded, officers learned the suspect [music] might be experiencing serious mental health challenges and had been without prescribed medication for weeks, according to family members. Even so, authorities continued treating the situation with caution, balancing public safety with every effort to resolve the incident peacefully. The suspect was later located after a lengthy pursuit that ended in a major traffic collision. >> Officers immediately secured the scene, assisted those involved, and safely took the suspect into custody. In the middle of chaos, protecting innocent people remained their highest priority. I got you. See you in there. Let me get something to break the window. Hold. Ready? Keep your hands up. Get your hands up. All right. He's way fast. He's way fast. Keep your hands on your head. Get this door open. Investigators later filed multiple felony charges, including allegations related to arson, assault, vehicle theft, fleeing police, and several other serious offenses. Court records indicate the suspect received a lengthy prison sentence. Looking back, this case is not only about broken laws. It is also a reminder that anger, untreated personal [music] struggles, and reckless decisions can leave lasting consequences for families, communities, and even the person responsible. Respecting the law and seeking help early can change the course of a life before it reaches a point of no return. >> We're walking to this car right here. Noah, very bad decision. Noah got on there for me. >> No. You going to consent to a blood test for me? >> Yeah. On July 27th, 2022, at a Lowe's store in Los Cusus, New Mexico, USA, what appeared to be an ordinary shopping day took an unexpected turn. Security cameras captured two masked men leaving the store with unpaid merchandise while an off-duty US Border Patrol agent happened to witness everything. No one could have predicted that the situation would soon escalate into a high-risisk police operation. As store employees tried to stop the suspects, one of them allegedly displayed a firearm, forcing everyone to keep their distance. Instead of confronting them, the off-duty agent calmly followed from a safe distance, photographed the suspect's vehicle, and immediately called 911. Within minutes, responding officers located the maroon Chevrolet Tahoe, and began a pursuit through city streets. Sometimes, staying calm under pressure can make all the difference. Turn on >> 962 central 44. He's on the wrong side of traffic in front of Canes. >> Copy. Runway traffic in front of Canes. >> Now he's by uh the parking lot of Red Lobster. Hit the vehicle as soon as it turns its next turn. >> The pursuit ended in a crowded parking lot where officers surrounded the vehicle and repeatedly ordered the occupants to surrender. During the tense confrontation, shots were fired and the driver was quickly subdued while the passenger was safely taken into custody. Officers immediately shifted their attention from the arrest to providing emergency aid and securing the area for everyone nearby. In moments like these, every decision must be made within seconds, balancing public safety with the need to resolve the situation as safely as possible. Back up. Heads up. [screaming] Heads up. >> GET OUT OF THE WINDOW. >> GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> GET OUT OF THE WINDOW NOW. >> GET OUT OF THE WINDOW. >> Hands up. >> Get out. >> Investigators later identified the suspects as Joshua Lopez and Miles Luciano. Court records show Luciano pleaded guilty to a federal robbery related offense and received a prison sentence. Lopez was later captured after a separate manhunt and also received a lengthy federal sentence for multiple offenses connected to the case. Looking back, one impulsive decision inside a retail store led to a chain of events involving federal investigators, local officers, and lasting legal consequences. The case stands as a reminder that attempting to escape responsibility often creates far greater consequences than facing the law in the first place. >> To me, to me, >> Hey, let's go. We got I got cover. I have cover. I got you. >> You guys vehicle's clear. >> Hey, my arm's broken. My left arm is broken. It's broken. Ow. Ow. It's broken. TOT 157 a.m. in Superior, Wisconsin, USA, security cameras captured a Dodge Challenger sliding into a snowbank behind Superior Middle School. After leaving the crashed vehicle, the driver returned to a nearby apartment complex, took a white utility van, and drove to a local care facility. there. A distressed woman told staff she had been assaulted, prompting an immediate 911 call. Officers quickly identified the suspect as 28-year-old Dylan Wallace, and began searching for the van. Before they could safely stop him, Wallace returned home, retrieved several rifles, and drove away again. The situation was becoming more dangerous with every passing minute. Don't think, but it looks like Wisconsin boy frame 95 for turn on 37. FIREFIGHTER FIRE. >> When an officer attempted to stop the van, the encounter escalated almost instantly. Gunfire erupted, leaving one officer seriously injured, although her protective equipment and damaged radio helped prevent an even worse outcome. Give me the air. It's on 37. >> Get down. Get down. >> He's He's driving. He's driving uh eastbound on 37. Wallace then drove directly into Superior Middle School and disappeared inside the building. Officers immediately established a secure perimeter, evacuated [music] surrounding areas, and waited for tactical teams while carefully monitoring every possible exit. coming into superior call to lock down the hospital. >> I got anything [music] [music] Heat. Heat. For nearly 4 hours, they held their positions in freezing temperatures, never knowing what might happen next. Eventually, Wallace walked out of the school with his hands raised and surrendered without further confrontation. Their patience, discipline, and teamwork helped bring the dangerous standoff to a safe conclusion. >> [music] [music] >> Investigators later filed multiple multle felony charges including attempted homicide, domestic abuse, firearm related offenses, and criminal damage to property. [music] Court records show Wallace pleaded not guilty as the case proceeded through the legal system. Meanwhile, the injured officer received medical treatment and was expected to make a full recovery. Looking back, this case [music] reminds us that one moment of losing emotional control can place countless lives at risk. It also highlights the courage and professionalism of first responders who continue protecting their communities even in the face of extraordinary danger. barricade yourself, get in the room, [music] shoot out a couple lights, shoot several times in the in the school, and you pass out or do whatever you do at in the room, and then you come to and you realize I my life. [screaming] We're just >> on a busy afternoon along Interstate 82 in Washington, USA. Dispatchers received multiple emergency calls reporting a minivan weaving across both lanes of traffic. Witnesses described the vehicle drifting unpredictably, forcing surrounding drivers to slow down and keep their distance. What started as a traffic complaint quickly became a race to prevent a much larger tragedy. Lights are also activated. Can you copy? Charles Autumn Henry 2841. >> A state trooper soon located the vehicle and activated emergency lights, but the driver showed no intention of stopping. Even with a damaged tire, the minivan continued forward, scattering debris across the highway while repeatedly crossing lane markings. Officers carefully coordinated with dispatch, monitored traffic conditions, and prepared spike strips farther ahead. Every mile the vehicle traveled increased the danger for countless innocent drivers sharing the road. right ahead of us. He keeps cruising over the yellow line towards the center radian. Copy drops down to 48. >> Copy. passing mile as close as I can. >> Good spikes. The spike strips worked as planned, causing the vehicle to lose momentum before it finally came to a stop after a minor crash. Even then, the driver remained inside, seemingly unaware that smoke and flames had begun spreading around the vehicle. >> He's still trying to rev the engine. I did my arms out. >> I thought Sergeant Sergeant Tech is on fire. We're going to try to attempt to pull it out. Cover me. I'm going to go over that. [screaming] He's He's very drunk. The river. >> Without hesitation, officers rushed forward, opened the doors, and safely pulled the driver away before the situation became even more critical. Their quick actions protected not only the driver but also everyone else at the scene. It was a powerful reminder that law enforcement officers often risk their own safety to protect complete strangers. >> Team now we need fire for the vehicle. >> Hey there. After the incident, investigators determined the driver showed signs of impairment and was taken into custody on allegations, including driving under the influence and attempting to evade law enforcement. Thankfully, the highway was secured before anyone else was seriously affected. Looking back, this case reminds us that one irresponsible decision behind the wheel can place an entire community at risk. Respecting traffic laws and making responsible choices can prevent moments like these from ever happening. >> Yeah. >> What do you got? You got a DUI? Yeah. >> So, >> on January 21st, 2026, Florida Highway Patrol troopers in Wakula County, Florida, USA, attempted to stop a stolen work truck. The driver was 15 years old. He refused to pull over and push the truck to high speed, passing other vehicles by driving onto the grassy shoulder before cutting back onto the roadway. 31. >> Troopers attempted a precision immobilization technique, but the truck kept going. Moments later, the stolen truck sideswiped an SUV carrying three people before leaving the roadway entirely. The truck struck a utility pole, crashed through a chainlink fence, and overturned near Shadeville Elementary School. The impact snapped the utility pole in half. The suspect was taken into custody at the scene. Minor injuries were reported to both the suspect and the occupants of the SUV. The snapped utility pole caused a power outage and temporary road closures while repair crews worked to restore the damage near an elementary school. >> All right. Put your goddamn handguns up. Yes, sir. Put your hand behind your back. >> Put your hand behind your [ __ ] back. >> The utility pole, the chain link fence, the SUV, and the stolen work truck all sustained damage from the crash. A power outage affected the surrounding area while crews made repairs. 15 years old, a stolen truck, a snap utility pole, and a crash near an elementary school. The age of the driver does not change what those choices put at risk. >> For real, you in trouble, but it ain't nothing you can come back from, bro. So, you all right? All right. You young. You're young. So you can >> I want to go. You feel me? I go to >> On June 21st, 2026, an Arkansas State Police trooper in Arkansas, USA, initiated a stop on a GMC Yukon that was driving on a visibly flat tire and refused to yield. The driver pushed on despite the damaged tire, driving erratically and at points crossing into the wrong side of the road. Almost lost the whole front tire. Speeds have dropped down to 20 as he's driving on the ramp. We're approaching Marvel. Approaching Mark 44. Coming up on passing Leewood. Oh, don't. [screaming] The trooper attempted multiple precision immobilization technique maneuvers before finally executing one successfully, bringing the Yukon to a stop. When the trooper approached the disabled vehicle, the driver was completely unresponsive. She then told the trooper she had overdosed on fentanyl. >> I'm like, "What are we doing?" And then she just kept going. >> Yes. >> The trooper immediately administered Narcan to the driver at the scene. She regained responsiveness and was transported for medical care. Troopers intended to cite her for the traffic offenses following the medical incident once she had received treatment. The GMC Yukon sustained damage from driving on a flat tire throughout the pursuit and from the successful intervention. The same trooper who had been trying to stop the vehicle moments earlier ended up being the one who kept the driver alive at the scene. That shift from pursuit to life- saving happened in the span of a single stopped car. She just said that she was pretty sure she was okay. On April 10th in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, a high-speed pursuit of a stolen truck driven by convicted felon Cody Davis was captured in full-on dash cam footage. The video became central evidence in a criminal trial that would later determine his fate. What the camera recorded left no room for interpretation. Right. All right. Get off the air for a minute. We got a 52 run going. Oh [ __ ] >> Thank you. Down. Driver, stop your vehicle. >> 52 52. The footage showed Davis ramming other vehicles out of his way, driving on the wrong side of the road, and according to prosecutors, ditching a stolen gun that can be seen bouncing on the pavement. Davis took the stand in his own defense and claimed his brakes were not working. Prosecutors pointed to recorded jail phone calls in which Davis himself stated he had led officers on a high-speed chase in direct contradiction to everything he told the jury. Open it. Hit it. The jury found Davis guilty on all six counts. Five charges were unanimous. The obstruction of justice charge came back 11 to1. The assistant district attorney described Davis's testimony as the most ridiculous story anyone had ever told on the witness stand and noted that he had committed perjury in front of the jury using recorded phone calls as direct proof. Davis was found guilty of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, aggravated flight from an officer, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence, and aggravated criminal damage to property. He will be subject to enhanced penalties as a habitual offender at sentencing. He denied leading a chase in court while his own recorded voice confirmed it from a jail phone. The dash cam did not need to argue its case. >> A couple a couple to the one at Eddie. Eddie, >> you need a couple to the one at Ryan and Eddie. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> On October 5th, 2024, at approximately 5:16 p.m., store security in Santa Monica, California, USA, flagged down a nearby downtown services unit officer about a robbery that had just occurred. A store employee had been shoved to the ground and a box of kitchen knives stolen. The box was later found abandoned with one 8-in chef's knife missing. The suspect, 28-year-old Di Abdelhadi Halabi from New York, was already moving through the area with that knife hidden on him. A separate officer was standing at the front of the police station collecting information about an unrelated call when Halebe walked up to him at the front doors. >> Let me let me talk to them first and then we can talk. Is that okay? >> Were they here? >> I was here first. Yes. I just want you to know >> what's in your jacket. I don't want I'm kind of I'm kind of nervous with your handing jacket. >> You're nervous? >> Yeah. >> The officer asked him to wait. Without warning, Halebe pulled the knife from his clothing and attacked, slashing and stabbing the officer before he could react. The wounded officer moved away, drew his duty weapon, and retreated around the corner of the building. energy. >> Heal the ground. >> Heal the ground. >> Hale followed him around the corner, continuing the attack. An officer involved shooting occurred at that location. Santa Monica officers rendered medical aid to Haleba until the fire department arrived and took over life support efforts. The stabbed officer spent one night in hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Unit. >> I got one at gunpoint. Aanita Masalon. Guns facing northbound. Uh, send an ambulance. >> The stolen knife was recovered. Hale had walked through the area with it hidden after pushing a store employee to the ground and then attacked an officer standing at the entrance of a police station. The location alone made no difference to what happened. When someone has already made up their mind, nowhere is safe enough. Snip snip. >> Hey, I'm hurt. I'm stabbed. I'm stabbed. >> [ __ ] you're getting shot. >> On June 24th, 2026, at approximately 2:54 p.m., New Britain Police Department officers in New Britain, Connecticut, USA, responded to 911 calls about shots fired at 15 Union Street, finding spent shell casings in the street and bullet holes on the exterior of a residence. 9 minutes later, another 911 call came in about two masked males in hoodies acting suspiciously near a TD Bank branch at 178 Main Street. Officers moved toward the area and spotted two males matching the description. When they tried to stop them, both ran. >> Oh [ __ ] Stop. >> Oh [ __ ] SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. Shots fire. >> The chase pushed into a parking lot adjacent to one Herald Square. Officer Joseph Milman's pursued on bicycle while officer Jillian Corwek, Detective Netherman, and Sergeant Michael Slavven followed in an unmarked vehicle. In the parking lot, one of the males turned and fired a shot directly at Detective Netman, who was the closest to him. Netman returned fire from his duty weapon, striking the suspect multiple times. A handgun and spent casing were recovered where he fell. 392 clears. >> The wounded suspect, a 17-year-old New Britain resident who cannot be publicly identified due to his age, was taken into custody and transported to hospital where he is expected to survive. The second male was tackled in the same parking lot by officer Milman's and taken into custody. He was identified as 18-year-old Osain Gail of New Britain and found to be carrying a handgun with a high-capacity magazine. The 17-year-old was charged with criminal attempt at assault in the first degree, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a permit. Gail was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, possession of a high-capacity magazine, and interfering with an officer. Two masked suspects, two handguns, a shooting at a residence 9 minutes earlier, and a detective who had not yet put on his vest when the second gunshot came his way. SHOT FIRED. SHOT FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. Shots fired. Jeff, >> you good? The call started with a family. A son and uncle reported that 41-year-old Walry Bautista Miranda had threatened his wife and tried to hit them with a vehicle near a storage facility in Georgia, USA. He had three active warrants, was reported to be on drugs, and was armed with a machete. Officers began searching the area, and quickly picked up his trail near a storage shed. Can we wait for you to light them up? >> Go ahead and line him up. >> He just 41 me. He just 41 me. Lock him in right there. Miranda attempted to ram police vehicles before one officer managed to block him in. He then exited the vehicle and charged at an officer with the machete still in hand. >> I see your hands. You got a gun. >> The officer discharged his firearm, striking Miranda. >> MOVE. MOVE. HE'S DOWN. I see him down. He's down. >> Open. >> No. We're going to get him from this side right here. >> He's down. >> Even after going down, Miranda still had the machete gripped in his right hand. Officers moved in and officers began talking to him to keep him conscious while waiting for EMS. >> Hey, get back there and start directing people back the other way. on the right side. >> I want you to hang out right there. >> Miranda survived his gunshot wounds after paramedics transported him to hospital. No officers were injured during the incident. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation into the officer who discharged his firearm and later determined the use of force was justified. Miranda was indicted on charges of felony aggravated stalking, felony aggravated assault on an officer, two counts of felony aggravated assault family violence, felony hijacking a motor vehicle, and two counts of felony possession of a knife during the commission of a felony. He took a plea deal, pleading guilty to all charges and was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and 15 years of probation. His own family made the call that brought officers there. Sometimes the people who know someone best are also the first ones to ask for help stopping them. in there. >> Let's go. Grab it. >> I'll put the dog back up. I'll put the dog back up. >> Put your hands up. >> I got a call of a man with a gun. >> Officers in Illinois, USA, responded to a 911 call about a man with a gun. When they arrived and located 48-year-old Lotus, he was standing with a pistol visible in a holster on his waistband. Officers drew their weapons and ordered him to put his hands up. Instead, Lotus removed the gun from the holster and began walking around with it in his hand, ignoring every command given to him. >> Push your hands up right now. Push your hands up right now. >> Remove her from the car. Take her Take her from the car. He might have a gun. >> I would get her out the car or drive off. One of the other. >> Do not put Take YOUR HAND OFF THE GUN. >> TAKE your hand I got called here. Take your hand off the gun right now. Oh, I got a call there with a man with a gun. >> You're responsible for a guy who got >> Okay. Can you I can listen to that if you will take your hand off the gun. >> Tas him. >> Put the gun down. >> The standoff stretched on as officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon while attempting to deescalate. A taser was deployed, but only one probe made contact, leaving Lotus still mobile and still armed. He eventually got back into his car and drove away. >> That's my name. Hey, >> where's my car? >> Officers located the vehicle again shortly after and initiated a second stop. eastbound 151. >> He's park number by COUNTY with your hands up. Put your hands up. Is your firearm in that pouch? >> Leave the dog in the car. Stop. Stop moving. Stay right there. Stay right there. Just stay right there. >> During the second stop, Lotus refused commands to exit without the gun and continued to move toward officers. A second taser deployment was successful, bringing him to the ground. >> Please. Let's go. Grab it. >> I'll put the dog back up. I'll put the dog back up. Never work for you. That wouldn't work. >> He was taken into custody. A search of his vehicle uncovered a rifle inside the car in addition to the pistol he had been carrying. His dog, which was inside the vehicle, was unharmed and taken to Oak Forest Animal Control. >> Check this power. >> I don't have it on me. >> I just want to make sure. Right. >> I didn't come out. >> You did the first time. >> Supposed to be a quiet Sunday, sir. >> Yep. Lotus was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated assault, and seven counts of resisting a peace officer. Officers had spoken to him calmly, repeated commands dozens of times, and tried everything available before the second taser ended it. Seven counts of resisting a peace officer is a number that tends to tell its own story. >> I hope you don't >> have a seat. >> Can I have a cigarette, please? >> When we get back to the station, have a seat. >> Grab your cigarettes. I'm going to grab your water. I promise. >> I know you guys lie [clears throat] like that. I promise you. You're going to give me a cigarette for real. >> At the station? Yes. You can't smoke in our squads. We'll give you one before you go into the station. >> From high-speed pursuits to moments where decisions go too far, these real stories remind us that every action carries consequences. Some choices lead to accountability, others to reflection, but all leave an impact. 911 police chase isn't just about adrenaline.
