HEY, LET ME SEE YOUR HAND. LET ME SEE YOUR HAND. LET me here. Your car. HERE IT >> get on the ground. >> Every now and then, officers find themselves in tough dead end situations in the line of duty. Moments when they come dangerously close to losing their lives or watching suspects slip away. And when all hope is lost, it's often their loyal K-9 partners with their sharp instincts and fearless stride who step in to save the day. >> What is going on? >> Here are five very intense moments when police dogs have saved the day. Starting with when a K9's timely intervention saves an officer's life. LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. >> On November the 11th, 2014, an officer on patrol with his K9 partner initiated a traffic stop on a white Ford F-150 pickup after noticing that the vehicle's tag was unreadable. However, the driver, rather than pull over when he saw the flashing red and blue lights, decided to lead the officer into a secluded area with an eerie plan in mind. K County traffic east drive going to be on a white Ford F-150 F250 pickup going have a lift kit tag unreadable unknown occupants continue in eastbound east All right. >> REASON I'M STOPPING YOU, MAN, IS YOUR TAG'S ALL COVERED UP AND I CAN'T read it. >> Oh. I don't know anything about that, but I left. >> That's all right. You got your license by chance. >> He was still speaking with the driver, unaware that something very dark was lurking just around the corner, and that only the timely intervention of his trusted K-9 would prevent what was about to unfold. Why >> don't you stay back here with me? No, I I didn't mean to do that. OKAY. LET ME SEE YOUR HAND. LET ME SEE YOUR HAND. GET out of here. >> CHEST FIRE. CHEST FIRE. TAKE A 13 OUT OF HERE. I GOT ONE GOOD SHOT WITH THE MOUTH. DROP THE WEAPON. DROP THE WEAPON. GOOD BOY. GOOD BOY. DON'T YOU MOVE. >> The driver succumbed to his injuries while the other suspect was arrested and charged with attempted assault with the weapon. In another heroic moment when police dogs saved the day, a K-9 single-handedly apprehended 57-year-old Majed Hack, who thought he could outrun the law after stealing a vehicle that way. That way, THAT WAY IT FIT. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. MAN, >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> I'M ON THE GROUND. >> GET OUT. >> I'm on the ground. >> Come on, MAN. >> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> OKAY. >> Put your hands BEHIND YOUR BACK. EVERYONE NOW. >> ON JUNE the 23rd, 2023, Majed Hack walked into a car wash next to take five oil change on the 16700 block of South Highway 441. But instead of acting like a regular customer, he stole a gray Nissan Sentra and sped off. The victim immediately called the Marian County Sheriff's Office to report the theft. And when deputies arrived, he gave them a detailed description of the vehicle and the incident. Armed with this information, officers launched a search. And before long, they located the stolen car near the intersection of Southeast 110th Street and South Highway 441. When the suspect saw that the cops were already closing in on him, he knew that surrendering was the only sensible option in that moment, that there's no such thing as outrunning the law. But instead of giving up himself, he threw caution to the wind and decided to gamble with fate. >> If he runs, I got gold. about calling there airlines. We'll call it in a parking lot going around warehouse north of the gas station. Okay. follow unit 31 calling in >> the head up around the perimeter of that business. They can't go and get out on foot eastbound. >> Stay in your car. Stay in your car. Stay in your car. For a moment, the officers thought that the suspect had pulled over because he had finally decided to surrender. But what they didn't realize was that it wasn't a change of heart that ended the chase. It was a railroad track that brought his escape to a halt. And it would take the swift action of their canine partner to apprehend the fleeing suspect, who turned out to be quite the runner himself. Here, here. Stand your way. That way, that way you stop. [ __ ] it, man. Here, [ __ ] it. H, man. Hock it. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. [ __ ] IT. COME ON, MAN. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> Get off ground. >> On the ground. >> Come on, MAN. COME ON, MAN. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> COME ON. >> ROLL OVER TO YOUR STOMACH. ROLL TO YOUR STOMACH. >> TAKE THEM OFF ME. >> ROLL TO YOUR STOMACH. >> GET ON YOUR STOMACH. >> Come on, man. >> Put your hands behind your back. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> OKAY. Put your HAND BEHIND BACK. ANOTHER ONE. NO. NO. PUT that behind back. >> All right. Get him off. >> Me. I can't throw your leg. >> Listen, we're going to drag you out or roll up and stand up. >> Your choice. >> I'm dehydrated. >> You're not dehydrated. Just go to the car. >> I grab one side. I'll grab another one. My leg down. What is going on? Good job. There's a unit coming in right now. Go around that corner and go all the way that all the way back. >> Nice job. Good work. After placing the suspect inside the police vehicle, they searched the stolen vehicle and recovered a backpack that belonged to him, which contained a controlled substance packaged in a manner consistent with selling a prohibited substance. They also discovered that he had a suspended driver's license with multiple prior convictions for driving with a suspended license. In the end, he was charged with fleeing to elude Leo, burglary of a conveyance, grand theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, driving with a suspended license as a habitual traffic offender, and resisting arrest without violence. While that K-9 partner surely earned his stripes for saving the day, Jedi deserves a badge of honor for tracking down 19-year-old Giovani Deshaawn Heron, who thought he could melt into the shadows of a warehouse after escaping from jail. Seattle Police with a K9. If you're in here, you need to make yourself known. Dog finds you, you may be bit. You do have a warrant. You're under arrest. Hey, search. Search. Hey. >> HERE. COME OUT. COME OUT HERE. ON May the 2nd, 2018, K9 Police Officer Anthony Dukrae responded with his police dog to an industrial area in Kent, Washington to assist the Kent Police Department in their search for Giovani Deshaawn Heron, a recent escapee from the Kent County Jail who was believed to be hiding in an industrial warehouse. >> I kind of like you guys. So, >> we got a uh picture of a dude who escaped from our jail >> and uh >> just the escape three about 20 grand worth of uh 80 grand eight warrants 80,000 >> with open cases. >> So, he's pretty much locked in here. >> So, we're locked down here. Um what we had is from our jail ran over this way. Had employees pointed through here. My officer gave chase to uh you know people pointed came around here. By the time I got around this side, the officer was chasing after pointed fingers, not the guy. Um he evidently went in the north side here. Um the employees believe probably ducked back into the warehouse. Could have bailed out the right side of there's a hole in the fence down here too into this marshed area. We believe we have a good perimeter. We had people on top of this fencing yard there like lickickety splits. He's hunkered down somewhere and their employees from this place have been evacuated into this office space. >> I'm not going to track off lead. Uh I heard that just for the simple fact there may be somebody that wasn't paying attention. >> No, no, for sure. No, I said on lead. On lead on lead. Yeah. No, on lead's perfect. We should be good to go. Like you said, if there's a straggler employee, they pretty much all have had on, you know, reflective vests. This dude's easily identifiable. >> Do we have a good start point? Actually, then >> I'm thinking that the best you're going to do is right around this corner. Okay. Cuz that's where the officer >> and he's wearing all black. >> All black. White. >> Yeah. Like an Adidas jumpsuit. Let me get the dog ready and I'll get him. Hey, Sarge. Hey, Sarge. Could you do me a favor? Could you have your guys, your containment officers, just make multiple announcements? >> Yeah, I know. I know our guy is back here on his bike's been yelling into the field. >> It's just our new policy starting to come out. Go. Can I do this? Stay. Come on, go boy. Stay. >> Yeah. Excited. That's a good boy. >> Sounds like there might have been a dude who popped his head out of one of the bays, kind of looked at our office and ducked back in. It sounds like all sec all employees should be secured, so he might be hiding behind. >> You guys mind running with me? >> Yeah, we're waiting. Uh, so if it's going to turn into a building search, what you're going to see, I don't know if you guys have ever run with the dogs before, is uh, you'll start to see him airend a lot. If he's airend and he's looking at a wall, it's not cuz he's stupid or anything. It's the the the way it goes. So, if he does, if he does get a bite, we'll move in, I'll physically get control and then it'll be you guys to get him. If we call him out, it's all on you guys. But, if he runs out, I'll steal it. >> Cool. Sounds good. Let's do it. >> Yeah, let's do it. >> With a plan in place to use the K9, they started the search. Following standard procedures, they called out several times, warning the suspect of what could happen if he refused to surrender, expecting him to make the right choice. However, what he did next left them completely stunned. >> Did they say which bay they thought they saw him in? >> I think our guy is in the back. >> He did go there. >> That bay go here. This one right here. That one open. >> And this is the one they think they saw him in the back. I'm not sure where our guys. See, come on. You guys want to go just bay by bay then? >> Yeah, let's go. >> So, Seattle police with a K9. If you're in here, make yourself known. You are under arrest. What's his name? >> Uh, last name of Heron. >> Heron. You are under arrest. If the dog finds you, you may be bit. >> Search. >> The search went on longer than anyone could have expected, and a quiet tension was starting to creep in. Perhaps the suspect was no longer inside the building. Still, the officers kept at it, checking every corner of the warehouse with their canine leading the way. Then, out of nowhere, the dog caught a scent in the last place anyone would have thought to look. >> Hey, search. Search. HEY, HE'S >> THERE. COME OUT. COME OUT HERE. HERE. GOOD BOY. COME OUT NOW. >> SHOW US YOUR HAND. >> YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. RIGHT HERE. I SEE HIM. COME ON OUT. >> WE got him. We're contact him now. >> Good boy. Watch him. Watch him. Watch him. Watch. Watch him. WATCH HIM. YEAH. WATCH HIM. WATCH HIM. WATCH HIM. Watch him. Watch him. Taran, if you do anything other than what you're told, I'm sending the knee. >> Keep coming to me. I tell you to stop. >> Watch him. Stop. >> Watch him. Your knee. >> Watch him BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> THAT'S a good boy. That's a good boy. Watch him. Watch him. >> That's a good boy. That's a good boy. >> No. >> No bite. Goodbye. >> Good boy. Good boy. That's a good boy. That's a good boy. >> In the end, he was taken back to jail with extra charges of trying to elude and escape. The next case takes us to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Zakaria, a female K-9 officer, chased down a bad guy for lunch. Sorry, this car is closer. >> On September the 14th, 2018, officers from the Ohio Police Department responded to a residence after receiving information that an individual with an active arrest warrant was hiding inside. Upon arrival, they called out several times, but got no response. Deciding to wait outside, they were confident the suspect wouldn't stay hidden for long. Then, without warning, the door burst open and the fugitive shot out like lightning, sprinting away on foot and managing to outrun the officers. Just when it seems like their chance of catching him had slipped away, the department's first female K-9 officer, Zakaria, stepped in and saved the day most remarkably. HEY, STOP. PLEASE, please stop. I can't get him. What is going on? >> Get out. Get him to man. >> You got me. Yep. Turn over. I can't. He turned me over. Sorry, you're under arrest. This car is close. >> Where's our lead? >> Give me your lead. Love her lead. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. >> Need fire. and supervisor. >> You got two legs, right? I ain't seen enough. But that would have stopped you, right? >> I I told you there was a warning. >> I gave a warning, too. >> Seen your girl's house. She rented out just the way it works. See if she lives because she want that doesn't cooperate with tired Sir, you had every opportunity to give up. I told you to stop. Hey, I'm going to go put her away. cutting off the camera. >> The suspect was finally taken into custody. Just like Sakaria, Mickey helped officers track down 47-year-old Kevin Leroy Scott White, who almost slipped through their fingers for the second time after ignoring a traffic stop. Kevin Leroy White, you're under arrest. Come out. You're going to get bit by a police dog. >> GET OUT, KEVIN. COME OUT NOW. >> Put your hands off. Off. On April the 27th, 2019, Greenville officers attempted to pull over a blue and black moped after noticing its motor vehicle tag was improperly displayed. However, the driver, later identified as 47-year-old Kevin Leroy Scott White, spotted the officers. He took off on his moped, managing to outrun them. After an extensive search of the neighborhood turned up no sign of the suspects, the officers realized that he had slipped away. The next day, officers on patrol spotted the suspect pulling into a compound. But before they could close in, he abandoned his moped and darted into a nearby woodland. Convinced the thick cover of the trees would hide him, he was sure that he had gotten away this time. What he didn't count on, however, was the officer's trusted K-9 partner named Mickey, who was always ready to turn the tables in moments just like this. >> Fooly got his phone number. I suggest you call him he Kevin ain't got a phone. >> He ain't got no gun or nothing either, man. >> He's getting dog bit off. >> This son of a [ __ ] is over. Kevin Leroy White, you're under arrest. Come out. You're going to get bit by a police dog. Sukin. stay on me, Kyle. >> He had to have gone right through there. >> In the front of his driveway. >> Who is glove? He had gloves on. Where are they at? >> Mickey, then he started cutting behind the trailer. >> I didn't see him come out. Where's your car at? >> Everybody watch my corners for me. Make sure people don't come out. >> Come on. GET OUT, KEVIN. COME OUT NOW. Mickey off. Mickey off. OFF. MICKEY. PUT YOUR HAND. OFF. OFF. OFF. Let me back up. >> Mickey off. >> Kevin, you're under arrest, partner. >> After officers pulled the police dog off the suspect, they immediately began tending to the injuries he had sustained from the bite while waiting for the medics to arrive. When the paramedics reached the scene, the suspect was transported to the hospital for proper medical care. The following day, he was discharged and taken to the Greenville County Detention Center, where he was charged with possession with intent to distribute, failure to stop for blue lights, resisting arrest, failure to register a vehicle, driving under suspension, and reckless surviving.
