This intense bodycam video from December 5, 2022, captures a wild scene during the arrest of Daniel Hilts, a 32-year-old from Punta Gorda, Florida, at Anthony’s Restaurant & Pub in Joliet, Illinois. Shot in a police car at 1:50 AM, this YouTube Short shows Hilts, handcuffed, asking, “Why am I in cuffs?” and accusing officers of holding him against his will, shouting, “This guy kidnapped me. He won’t let me go.” He denies being drunk, saying, “I’m not drunk. Where’s the charge that I’m intoxicated?” and begs, “Just pull over. Let me go home.” This heated moment is perfect for true crime fans. The trouble started when Hilts, kicked out of Anthony’s for causing a scene, tried to drive his car, leading Officers Joseph Robinson and Robert Bukala to step in. After refusing ride-shares or a security escort to his hotel, Hilts got aggressive, resulting in a takedown and charges of aggravated battery to a peace officer, aggravated assault, obstructing justice, criminal trespass to property, and resisting arrest. The police car interior and neon-lit Anthony’s parking lot create a raw backdrop for this real-life crime drama, ideal for fans of unfiltered police bodycam videos. True crime fans will love Hilts’ angry outbursts and desperate pleas to be freed, giving a real look at a tense police showdown.
