DO NOT REACH. STOP. >> 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. >> What kind of car does he drive? >> DO NOT REACH. STOP. >> ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8TH, 2025, just before 2:00 p.m. in Queen Creek, Arizona, USA, police officers were alerted to a concerning situation involving a man later identified as Bradley. Just after 3:00 p.m., officers located Bradley's vehicle in a church parking lot near Chandler Heights and 204th Street. As he stepped out and walked toward the building where bystanders were nearby, officers quickly moved in and repeatedly instructed him not to reach for his weapon. >> No. Put your hands on top of your head. >> Keep your hands up. >> Do not reach. DO NOT REACH. STOP. >> WAIT. WAIT. >> BRADLEY DID NOT comply and a less lethal option was attempted but failed to stop the advancing risk. With public safety becoming the highest priority, officers were forced to make a split-second decision. >> Do not reach. DO NOT REACH. STOP. >> WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. BACK UP. Back up. >> After the situation was brought under control, officers safely secured the firearm and immediately began providing emergency medical assistance. No officers or members of the public were injured during the incident. The case serves as another reminder that moments of hesitation, cooperation, and respect for lawful commands can make all the difference when lives are at stake. >> Back up. BACK UP. PUT DOWN. DROP THE GUN. DROP IT. >> ON AN AFTERNOON IN OHIO, USA, Sergeant Norwood conducted what appeared to be a routine traffic stop after noticing a van with no functioning tail lights. The driver and passenger calmly explained they had just left the hospital and claimed they had lost their identification. At first glance, it seemed like nothing more than an ordinary roadside conversation, but appearances can be deceiving. >> Um So, is your ID out of Kentucky or is it an Ohio ID? >> Kentucky. >> Ma'am, what's your name? >> Barbara. >> Barbara? >> Yes. Taylor. >> What's your date of birth, Barbara? >> Uh May uh 19th >> I'm going to be right back, okay? >> Okay. >> What's that about, dude? Five are taking off. It's Colorado signal seven. Temporary They're taking off at northbound Lafayette. >> As the sergeant asked more questions to verify their identities, the van suddenly sped away, triggering a pursuit across several highways. Officers carefully tracked the vehicle while coordinating with nearby units and air support. >> Aviation and ground units are here. Pulling in the TA. Pulling in the TA. Over a curb. Heading towards the building. >> The situation grew even more tense when the suspects abandoned the van, entered a truck stop, and climbed into a parked semi-truck where another driver was still inside. >> Stay. I'M GOING TO TAZE YOU. GUN. GUN. THERE'S SOMEBODY GOT A GUN POINTED RIGHT NOW. HE'S GOT SOMETHING IN HIS HAND. IT MIGHT BE A GUN. HE'S GOT A GUN IN HIS HAND. DROP THE GUN. DROP THE GUN. HE'S GOT A GUN. HE'S GOT A GUN. GET ON THE [screaming] GROUND. PUT IT DOWN. HE'S GOT A GUN. WE'RE IN THE TA PARKING LOT. WHITE MALE, NO PANTS ON. THE GUY RIGHT THERE IS GOOD. >> YOU SAY HE'S GOT A 40? >> YEAH, I PULLED A GUN. GET BACK. Get back. Go back. >> Officers surrounded the truck and repeatedly urged everyone inside to come out peacefully. Negotiators worked patiently hoping to resolve the situation without further harm while tactical teams positioned themselves to protect the hostage and nearby civilians. >> Drop the keys to the ground. Yes, which ball field is it? >> 1 2 3 4 5 and it's the fifth one in, right? Yeah. >> Yes, it's the fifth one in. On the right side. >> We got lights on him. >> 5 by 3 2 suspects 1 hostage. >> It's two more over, isn't it? Two over. Two over. >> Put your hands up. Let's end this peacefully. >> Even after the truck attempted to flee and several efforts were made to safely stop it, officers continued balancing restraint with the responsibility to protect innocent lives. Every decision had to be made within seconds under enormous pressure. >> Oh, he's going to get in the car. >> Nope. He's going >> Crossfire. Crossfire. >> Damage. >> I did. MY CRUISER. >> I think a turn onto 42 here. >> Northbound on 42 towards 70. >> [music] >> Continuing on northbound on 42. >> All weapons center mass position. MI still got 22. All the prisoners behind the driver's side rear passenger door. >> After hours of coordination, officers successfully brought the standoff to an end and safely removed the hostage, who later received medical treatment and recovered. The investigation identified the two suspects as individuals wanted on multiple felony warrants related to theft and drug offenses. Authorities later concluded that the officers' actions were lawful, highlighting once again that patience, teamwork, and respect for the law remain the strongest tools in resolving the most unpredictable situations. >> Where your hands? Let me see your hands. I can't I can't see your Can't see your suspect. Let me see your hands. Everybody, LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. HE'S GOT A GUN. GUN. GUN. HE JUST POINTED AT ME. >> Do you have anything? >> Nothing. All right. >> GET YOUR HANDS UP. >> GOT SHOTS FIRED. >> BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP. >> WATCH CROSSFIRE, GUYS. >> BACK UP. HEY. PLEASE. HOLD. >> ALL RIGHT, HE'S COMING OUT, GUYS. COMING OUT. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE are in there? >> Here. Got it. Got it. >> Got it. Got it. >> Got it. Got it. >> Both suspects are out of the vehicle. >> On May 26, 2025, in Bloomfield, New Mexico, USA, Officer Daniel Weaver, who had recently joined the Bloomfield Police Department, conducted a traffic stop at a gas station after discovering that a vehicle's registration had been suspended because of an insurance issue. At nearly the same time, Officer Timothy Ontiveros stopped another pickup truck nearby for a broken headlight. What began as two routine traffic stops would soon test every officer on scene. >> Okay. So, the reason why I pulled you over is you ain't got no headlight. >> I saw it burn out on the way in. >> Okay, that's fine. So, you're aware you don't have a headlight. >> Well, what I'm aware of is that it burned out on the way >> You got your driver's license, registration, insurance? >> While Officer Weaver completed his traffic stop, Officer Ontiveros asked the second driver to provide identification. The driver insisted he was following the law by only displaying his license through the window and repeatedly refused to hand it over. The conversation became increasingly tense as both sides stood firmly by their interpretation of the law. Even after additional officers arrived and patiently explained the situation, the driver continued refusing repeated lawful instructions, causing the encounter to stretch far longer than anyone expected. >> Passenger headlight. Thank you. Roll your window down. >> It's down enough. Thank you. >> Roll your window all the way down. >> You can bluster and fume till your eyes burst out of your head, and I am not breaking the law by doing that. >> You need to provide it in my hand. >> You do not >> And you are violating the law. >> I'm going to break your window out. >> After several minutes of unsuccessful communication, officers warned that the vehicle's window might have to be broken if the driver continued refusing to cooperate. >> Just the name. >> You run >> Just the name. >> Roll Roll down the window right now. >> You run just the name. >> No, we're breaking this window out. Back up, dude. You got a window breaker? >> Yeah. >> Moments later, as officers attempted to move the situation forward, the encounter changed without warning. The peaceful traffic stop instantly became a critical emergency, forcing officers to react within seconds to protect themselves and everyone nearby. In those chaotic moments, training, teamwork, and composure became their greatest strength. >> That's the reason why I'm trying to make contact. >> 3105, send us 55 10-18. >> Sarge, you work on Ontiveros? I'm watching this guy. >> DON'T [ __ ] MOVE! >> SARGE, I GOT YOU. I'M COMING TO YOU. I CAN SEE HIM. >> 3105, get us 55 10-18. One officer down. >> Emergency medical teams responded immediately while officers secured the area and ensured there were no further threats. The investigation later revealed the driver had a lengthy history of violent behavior, and officers recovered numerous dangerous weapons from his vehicle. Authorities continue reviewing every aspect of the incident while Officer Ontiveros' bravery and the quick actions of fellow officers were widely recognized. The case remains a powerful reminder that even the most ordinary traffic stop can change in an instant, making professionalism, patience, and respect for lawful commands essential for everyone's safety. >> Make sure we don't have anything struck anywhere. >> GET ON THE GROUND! DOWN! SHOW YOUR HANDS! >> SARGE, COME ON! >> ON JUNE 11TH, 2025, at around 3:30 p.m. in Columbus, Ohio, USA, officers assigned to special duty at Lincoln Park Pool were watching over hundreds of families enjoying a summer afternoon when several gunshots suddenly rang out nearby. Within moments, the peaceful atmosphere turned into panic as parents rushed to protect their children and lifeguards evacuated the pool. Officers immediately moved toward the sound to locate the source and prevent further danger. >> 4105 >> It sounded east of us. >> It happened right here. >> Yeah. It was right here at 1720. I promise. >> As officers secured the area, multiple 911 callers reported seeing three juveniles dressed in dark clothing running from the scene. Witness statements and shell casings helped narrow the search, and officers quickly located three individuals matching the descriptions. >> Officer 13, we got three subjects running from the Rock Center. >> Hey! Hands! >> I got the third. >> Show me your hands! >> Turn around. Turn around. >> Hands! All of you, stop! >> STOP RIGHT THERE! STOP RIGHT THERE! STOP RIGHT THERE! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! STOP RIGHT THERE! GET ON THE [ __ ] GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND! DOWN! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! >> SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. >> HEY, STOP! >> YEAH, there's a runner. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. >> Shots fired. >> When ordered to stop and show their hands, one suspect fled while another made movements that caused officers to believe an immediate threat was present. Despite repeated commands, the situation escalated within seconds. >> DON'T MOVE! THE GUN'S RIGHT THERE! DON'T MOVE! Turn around! Move! 33 UNDER THE CAR. 33 under the car. Don't move! Don't reach! Don't reach! DON'T REACH! HEY, COVER! GET THE COVER, YOU IDIOTS! Get the cover! Thank you. Don't Get YOUR HANDS UP! HANDS UP! >> Faced with an immediate threat, officers were forced to react in a split second to protect everyone nearby. After the confrontation ended, they immediately shifted their focus to providing emergency medical aid, applying tourniquets, and caring for the injured while additional units secured the scene. It was a powerful reminder that officers often move from confronting danger to preserving life in the very next moment. >> Help him. Help him. >> [screaming] >> Investigators later confirmed that all three suspects were juveniles. The 15-year-old who fled was arrested on multiple felony allegations, including carrying [music] a concealed weapon, receiving stolen property, tampering with evidence, and obstructing official business. The 16-year-old involved in the confrontation was later released from the hospital in stable condition before facing additional felony allegations. The third juvenile was taken into custody without incident, and a BB gun resembling a real firearm was recovered from him. The incident serves as a reminder that a single reckless decision can forever change the lives of many people. >> What kind of car does he drive? >> On August 16th, 2023, at around 6:00 p.m. in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, officers responded to a shocking 911 call reporting that a woman was trapped inside a house with a heavy chain secured around her neck. When they arrived, they found every entrance barricaded with boards and screws, making it nearly impossible to enter. Hearing the woman's cries for help from an upstairs window, officers immediately realized this was far more serious than an ordinary welfare check. >> 213 Baker to be to radio the advise. We do see a female chained up at the top window. We're trying to make entry, but there's something barricading the door. We're clawed through the window. They nailed everything shut. But we got this one. Try to kick the door in, but everything is boarded up. You want to go first? Like this. He did what? Is he Hispanic? Hey, there's a Hispanic male down the street with his friend. That might be who it is. >> He's got long hair. >> Long hair on the top and a >> Working together with firefighters, officers climbed through an upstairs window while another team forced open the front entrance. Inside, they found the woman restrained by a heavy chain attached securely to the floor. She explained that she had been lured back to the house under the promise of cleaning for payment before being locked inside against her will. As officers escorted her to safety, they carefully searched every room to make sure no one else was trapped inside. >> I'm sorry. >> No, you're good. Anytime you do the right thing. >> He's been telling everybody that he's the way he was. >> So, is he a clean-cut Hispanic male? >> Yes, yeah, he's >> He's down the street. >> He's got long hair. He's kind of big. >> Long hair, huh? Yeah, let's clear real quick. Make sure. Here we go. Hold it on her neck so I don't break it. Here we go. >> Thank you so much. >> She wants to make exit through the front. >> Okay. >> He's got the side door locked. You got to get >> Can you get out? >> Yeah, yeah, we don't have a key to get it out. >> During the search, officers discovered multiple rooms that had been nailed shut, boarded up, or locked from the outside. The unusual layout of the house suggested careful planning rather than a spontaneous act. >> You're fine. We're here now, okay? We're going We're going to get you out of here. >> Sorry. I'm sorry. >> Don't Don't say sorry for nothing. >> You need fire to force this door. >> Yeah. >> Same floor. We're clear of it. You can go ahead and force it. >> You bust that door. >> All right, let's go in here real quick, okay? Watch that mirror. Okay. Come on now. >> Hey, did you all clear the house? >> Yeah, we cleared it. >> The only thing locked down is the basement door right here. >> She said nobody else is in here. >> And the last door right there, if you keep walking. >> How long How long you had that around your neck? >> 4 4 hours, maybe >> 4 hours. >> We had a little woody The woody daughter together to >> Where's she at? >> My aunt has custody of her. >> Okay. >> And this place is always fighting and losing. Cuz they wouldn't let us go home to his house. >> All right, stand real fast. Someone go right there. >> I could use it to cut the length of the chain. >> What kind of car does he drive? >> He had a little car he would put his friends in. I don't know if they think he was in the back seat taking stuff back to Walmart. >> Two days later, after continuous surveillance, detectives spotted the primary suspect returning to the property. Patrol officers quickly detained him without further incident, allowing investigators to begin uncovering the full extent of what had happened inside the house. >> Hold on. Hold on. >> Can you give me my location? >> Yeah. >> Stop. >> Put your hands on top of your head. >> Grab him. >> Grab the other guy, too. >> Hey, put your hands on top of your head. >> Wait. >> Put your hands on top of your head, both of you. All right, stand by. >> Stop. What What are you all doing? >> You're just being detained right now. >> Being detained for what? >> You're just being detained, all right? You're not under arrest. Any weapons on you, both of you? >> No. We just thought We just thought we were going to Walmart. >> 219 15 40 months. >> That's fine, man. Just hang out, all right? >> The investigation revealed extensive evidence supporting the victim's statements, including the specially modified house and the chain permanently secured to the floor. Prosecutors later filed multiple serious felony charges, including kidnapping, intimidation, assault-related offenses, and several human trafficking counts after additional evidence came to light. Following a jury trial, the suspect was found guilty on every charge. Although sentenced to 30 years in prison, changes in Kentucky law made him eligible to apply for parole after serving 6 years. The case became one of the state's most significant human trafficking prosecutions and highlighted the importance of neighbors who chose to act after hearing someone desperately calling for help. >> A chain around her neck and a chain on the ground like a like a like a fighting dog almost. >> On June 19th, 2026, at approximately 11:42 a.m., a red 2012 Chevrolet Colorado went missing from Central Auto Sales in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA. GPS led employees straight to a nearby residence where one of them recognized the man loading items into the truck as 37-year-old Zachary Crabtree, a former classmate. When she confronted him, he cursed her out and fled. She followed and called police. What the officers did not yet know was that Crabtree had stood in a courtroom the day before and pleaded guilty to stealing another vehicle. He had walked out with 5 years of probation. >> This year's Colorado is a big one. I'm going to say that again. Colorado is a big one. And we're going to take them. I'm pretty sure 10 63 is the best one. >> Officer Rios spotted the Colorado cutting through parking lots near Central Avenue and activated lights to initiate a stop. Crabtree ignored them and kept weaving through parking lots and grassy areas to evade. Arkansas State Police joined the pursuit. Trooper Wooten took over as primary and clocked the stolen truck doing over 90 miles per hour through a 35 zone before identifying a position to execute a tactical vehicle intervention near Franklin Street. The first intervention sent the Colorado spinning into the parking lot of Chambers Bank struck a business sign before continuing to flee. Trooper Rideout executed a second intervention spinning the truck 180° Crabtree still tried to run. Troopers Wooten and Grubbs boxed the vehicle in from both sides ending the chase. Crabtree was taken into custody without further incident. The business sign at Chambers Bank sustained approximately $3,500 in damage from the first intervention. The stolen Chevrolet Colorado was totaled. Crabtree was charged with theft by receiving criminal mischief and felony fleeing on an $8,500 bond. He had pleaded guilty to a stolen vehicle charge the day before and been given probation. He spent the next morning stealing another one. >> Take a 10. Not clear over there. You have a 10 40 over 31 1 George Charles average down Charles >> On July 11th, 2022, Little Rock Police Officer C. Hall spotted a stolen Chevrolet Suburban in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused and fled southbound pulling officers into a pursuit that would stretch across city limits and into unincorporated Pulaski County before it ended. >> 4 4 The suspect pushed the pursuit across multiple areas while officers [music] coordinated positions, managed surrounding traffic, and relayed location updates throughout. The chase continued for an extended stretch before Arkansas State Police troopers were able to get ahead of the vehicle near the landmark area in unincorporated Pulaski County. Arkansas State Police troopers executed a precision immobilization technique and brought the stolen Suburban to a stop. The driver and a passenger were taken into custody without further incident. A search of the vehicle turned up a significant quantity of methamphetamine. The stolen Chevrolet Suburban and the methamphetamine recovered inside were both held as evidence. A pursuit that started with a stolen vehicle ended with drug charges on top of everything else. The Suburban was stolen. What was inside it was not supposed to be found at all. On August 18th, 2023 at approximately 2:05 p.m., Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Elvis Nolasco with the Criminal Interdiction Unit in Broward County, Florida, USA, was notified of a high-speed pursuit traveling north on State Road 91 from the 88-mile marker. The pursuit had originated from an armed carjacking. Nolasco drove north and joined the chase as the lead vehicle near the 94-mile marker service plaza. The suspect vehicle drove extremely recklessly on the right shoulder, swerving aggressively between lanes. When Nolasco positioned for a precision immobilization technique, the suspect took evasive action and attempted to swerve into Nolasco's vehicle. The suspect then slammed his brakes, causing Nolasco to pass him. The suspect looped around to the right shoulder and accelerated again. >> The suspect is extremely sick on the approach on the 7. >> Nolasco repositioned in the left lane and moved alongside the vehicle for a second attempt when the suspect braked again, this time colliding directly into Nolasco's patrol unit and incapacitating it. Nolasco drove his disabled patrol vehicle to the shoulder and removed himself from the pursuit. The chase continued northbound where the suspect, identified as Lias MacArthur Corker Jr., a career offender with a revoked Florida license, was later apprehended by other units. Nolasco's patrol vehicle was incapacitated from the deliberate collision and taken out of service. Corker was charged with reckless driving causing damage to person or property, aggravated fleeing with injury or damage, and driving on a permanently revoked license. A carjacking suspect with a revoked license who deliberately used his vehicle as a weapon against a trooper mid-pursuit. The charges that followed were the least surprising part of the entire encounter. On August 11th, 2024, at approximately 1:52 p.m., Florida Highway Patrol Trooper David Ramos in Sumter County, Florida, USA, spotted a black BMW 330i with windows that appeared too dark. When he pulled into a driveway to block the vehicle and activated emergency lights, the BMW edged forward twice before fleeing northbound. The pursuit was on. >> [music] >> The BMW ran through stop sign after stop sign while weaving through residential streets before reaching US Highway 301 where it hit 110 mph in a 35 zone and began passing stopped vehicles by using the center turn lane. Ramos attempted a precision immobilization technique on East Kentucky Avenue where both vehicles went airborne after the BMW veered onto a grassy shoulder. A second attempt on New Hampshire Avenue forced the BMW into a ditch and into a tree disabling it. The driver, Marlon DeQuan Underwood, exited and ran on foot. Ramos pursued and drew his Taser 7. Underwood surrendered and threw himself to the ground. A passenger also attempted to flee but stopped when Ramos aimed the Taser at him. As Ramos moved toward the passenger, Underwood began rising from the ground and yelled at the passenger to run. The passenger fled eastbound. Ramos placed Underwood under arrest. A check revealed his license had been revoked since July 2019. >> Man, I know I didn't [ __ ] drive with no [ __ ] license, bro. >> That's exactly what >> Man, I got [ __ ] bro. >> That's what I >> I ain't got [ __ ] dog. >> Put your feet up. >> You want to work with the biggest dealer in the world. What the [ __ ] I should be wearing for? I just said I WAS GOING TO JAIL BEFORE I RAN THE POLICE, BRO. I got [ __ ] license. >> Both the BMW and Ramos's patrol vehicle sustained damage during the pursuit, including from the moment both vehicles went airborne during the first intervention attempt. Underwood was medically cleared and transported to Sumter County Jail. The passenger was not located at the time of the report. Attempted window stop ended with a 110 mph chase, two vehicles going airborne, a tree, [music] a foot chase, and a shouted instruction to a passenger to run. The BMW driver had not had a valid license in 5 years. On May 31st, at approximately 9:10 p.m., an Oak Park police officer in Oak Park, Illinois, USA, stopped a black SUV for a moving violation at a gas station near Harrison Street and Austin Boulevard. The driver, 38-year-old Christian Wallace, was the only person in the vehicle. >> I just gave you my stuff. Yeah, I got you the bathroom. >> You can't use the bathroom right now. >> Why I can't? >> Because you're on a traffic stop. >> Why I'm on a traffic stop? >> No Hey, no weapons on you? >> No. >> When the officer asked him to step out and performed a pat down, he discovered Wallace was carrying a concealed firearm. >> Sir, what is my gun? >> It's not. >> It's my pistol, bro. What are you doing? >> Hey. >> What are you doing, bro? >> Listen to me. David, step it up. >> What are you doing, bro? What are you doing, bro? >> Hey. Do not reach. Do not reach. Do not reach. Do not reach. Step it up. Do not reach, bro. You're going to get tased. Do not reach or you're going to GET SHOT. BRO. DO NOT REACH. BRO, DO NOT REACH. >> YOU DON'T. >> Do not reach. Bro, do not REACH FOR THAT GUN. >> WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A PROLONGED physical struggle between the officer and Wallace over control of the weapon. During the fight, Wallace regained possession of the gun. Faced with an immediate threat, the officer discharged his service weapon, striking Wallace four times. Additional officers arrived and administered aid for more than 3 minutes before Wallace was transported to Loyola University Medical Center, where he was pronounced 9:59 p.m. The officer was also transported to Loyola that evening, released the following day, and remained on medical leave for injuries sustained during the struggle. >> Body. Body. My body My body camera fell. Body. Okay. Okay. I'm going to go secure this. >> A routine traffic stop turned into a fight over a gun that neither person in that parking lot expected when the evening started. The distance between a moving violation and a life-ending confrontation was a single concealed weapon and the decision to reach for it. >> I take it he's taking it. >> On May 16th, 2026 at around 1:45 a.m., Los Angeles police officers from the Hollenbeck Patrol Division in Los Angeles, California, USA, responded to an assault with a weapon in progress at a residence on the 3000 block of Glenn Avenue. >> No, I'll let them. Oh, so he's inside. [music] He's inside. WATCH OUT. MOVE. MOVE. STRAIGHT OUT. >> A FAMILY MEMBER MET THEM OUTSIDE. Moments later, 40-year-old Robert Velasquez emerged from the [music] front door holding two knives and a grilling fork. Officers gave repeated verbal commands to drop the weapons. Velasquez threw one of the knives directly toward the officers before charging at them still armed with the remaining knife and the grilling fork. A first officer-involved shooting occurred. Velasquez fell to the ground, began rising again with both weapons still in hand, and a second shooting followed. Even after being struck by gunfire a second time, Velasquez sat up and began moving toward the front door of the residence. >> Don't move. Don't move. DROP THE GUN. 40 UP. >> OFFICERS DEPLOYED AN intermediate force option which successfully brought Velasquez under control. He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics. Officers rendered medical aid throughout the encounter until paramedics arrived. >> Ready? Ready? >> Two knives and a grilling fork were recovered at the scene and booked as evidence. No officers or community members were injured during the incident. Velasquez was shot twice, went down twice, got back up twice, and still had to be taken down a third time with intermediate force. Some encounters do not end when you expect them to. On June 16th, 2023, a Minnesota State Trooper in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, spotted a black Cadillac Escalade traveling 95 mph northbound on Interstate 35W in a 55 zone. The SUV weaved through traffic before the driver suddenly cut across multiple lanes and exited the freeway at over 100 mph. Seconds later, the Escalade barreled through a red light and slammed into a Honda Civic. Five young women inside the Honda were preparing for a friend's wedding that weekend. None of them survived. >> Open. Clear. >> Please, hands up. >> Back. Clear. >> The driver fled the scene on foot. Officers quickly established a perimeter and witnesses directed them toward a man in a white shirt with fresh blood on his face and hands near a Taco Bell. The man, later identified as Derrick John Thompson, claimed he had simply fallen. A witness from the crash scene identified him in a show-up identification. >> You going to see him cuz he's bleeding. >> He went that way? >> He went that way. >> Behind Taco Bell, he was going that way. He asked me for a ride. He fell on my car. I asked for a ride. He said, "No." >> But he went that way. Why are you bleeding? >> Huh? >> Why are you bleeding? Put your hands Why are you bleeding? >> I got this cut. >> Okay. >> It's an old cut. >> Old cut? Looks pretty fresh. >> What's your What's your name? >> Derrick Thompson. >> Stand up. Turn up. Cuz you're bleeding. >> I'm bleeding? What's that got to do with >> Where did you fall? >> Yeah, I I This is an old cut, bro. >> That looks pretty fresh to me. >> This is not This is dried up blood, bro. You know I ain't got no deal. Yeah, come on. I'll stand up, but I ain't got no I don't have no >> Thompson was taken into custody and charged with vehicular homicide. Thompson denied being the driver and claimed his brother was behind the wheel. Surveillance footage from an airport showed him renting and driving the Escalade before the crash. Witness testimony, vehicle data, and his own statements to hospital staff dismantled his defense one piece at a time. In June 2025, a Hennepin County jury found him guilty on all 15 felony counts, including five counts of third-degree murder and 10 counts of criminal vehicular homicide. Thompson was sentenced to more than 50 years in state prison. A separate 14-year federal sentence for drugs and a firearm found in the Escalade brings his total expected time behind bars to around 64 years. For the victims' families, the apology he offered at sentencing landed with the weight of 2 years of denial behind it. Five young women on their way to celebrate a wedding. 64 years is what the courts decided that was worth. >> our family through so much. >> I am truly sorry. There has been a burden on my back for 25 months because I wasn't able to say I'm sorry. >> STOP! STOP! STOP! >> IN JANUARY 2025, Miami Beach police officers in Miami Beach, Florida, USA, were managing an active scene when Fred Kerley, an American track and field Olympic silver and bronze medalist from the 2020 and 2024 games, approached them aggressively. His car was inside the police perimeter and he wanted to leave with his girlfriend. Officers told him to step back. He did not. >> 23-25 >> Hey! HEY! STOP! >> HEY! >> STOP! STOP! >> HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! STOP! >> NO, I WANT TO >> THE CONFRONTATION ESCALATED physically as Curly refused repeated commands and resisted officers who attempted to control the situation. His girlfriend Cleo Raman, also known as DJ Sky High Baby, became involved and was similarly uncooperative. Multiple officers were needed to bring the situation under control. During the struggle, officers sustained injuries including knee pain, thumb swelling, lacerations on arms and elbows, and bruising across multiple areas. >> [screaming] >> Both Curly and Raman were taken into custody. Curly was charged with battery on a police officer, resisting without violence, and disorderly conduct. Raman was charged with resisting without violence. Four months later in May 2025, Curly was arrested again and charged with battery for allegedly punching an ex-girlfriend who was also an Olympic athlete. In January 2026, prosecutors dropped both cases after Curly agreed to complete an anger management course. He was released back into the public. Multiple officers were injured during the incident at the scene. The Olympic medals did not change what the body cam recorded, and they did not change what happened four months later, either.
