that this is actually a signal center. I
believe 223 or 224 in front of me.
They're right behind the vehicle. This

likely swap the plate to avoid
detection, but it appears this plate may
be stolen too. 1033 for

Sit down. I don't care. Sit down. Get

[Applause]
Please.
I was dodging stuff left and right, bro.

The female suspect begins to rock back

Valuchia. What? We wasn't far from where

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah.
Did you know the truck was stolen? The
truck?
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Did you steal the
truck? No. Where did you get the truck
from? a friend in Jacksonville. All
right. You can get trucks like that for
$1,000. You know, you're not to make
payments. Did they tell you it was
stolen? Well, I knew it was stolen.
Okay.
Scary. You're still driving like a man
out of hell. I noticed that you got in
the bed of the truck because I was right
behind you. Cuz I wanted that out of
that truck. Is that stolen, too? I I'm
pretty damn sure that stolen. And what
was the purpose of you just ditching all
that stuff? for me where you because I
don't want all that on me, man. I feel

have been driving at some point if you
were in the back. I said, "Yeah, I told
her. I said, "Baby, you got to drive. I
got to get rid of this [ __ ] because this
All right. And then obviously somebody
else and then obviously when we stopped
she was in the in the driver's seat and
you guys tried to take off running. No,
we was not going to take off. Yes, you
was, brother. Brother, you both y'all
jumped out of the car. Y'all were going
to run for the woods. Yeah, but I told
her don't we ain't going to run. We
ain't getting shot or nothing. No, we
ain't going to shoot. They should have
be over one day. Is there anything else
in the truck that we need to be aware
of? No. Any drugs, weapons, bombs,
missing people? Nothing hidden that
truck. No. Everything is sitting there
out in the open. Nothing stashed. All
right. Do you got anything hidden on
your person? No. Maybe. Do you have any
warrants right now? Just me and her. I
mean, I just told her I love you. I love
you. You don't know who you bought the
car from? I can't do that. Somebody Oh,
so you know who you bought it from? Over

Just look over
here. Look at me. Oh, up a little bit. I
apologize. God damn, dude. Look here. I
know y'all shoot, man. I ain't going
nowhere, man. I promise. No one's going
to shoot you. I know, but I mean, I
ain't going nowhere, bro. That damn
wrist right there is jacked up there.
How bad my head?
No, we didn't run them yet. Let's run
them because they probably have like 48
warrants. Officers run a background
check while searching the vehicle. Tammy
has no known criminal history, but is a
habitual traffic violator for driving on
a suspended license. Shane, however, was
previously arrested for eight counts of
theft from the elderly and Grand Theft
Auto, making this the second time he is
caught with a stolen vehicle. He served
a year in prison and was still on
probation when this incident occurred.
Unfortunately for the pair, the vehicle
search uncovers items that lead to more
charges. Hey, bro. Yes, sir. There's a
phone in here. What color is it? Like a
It's black. Got like a black case on it.
My phone doesn't have a case. Do you
know what that is? I don't know what it
is. That's why I was asking if I knew
what it was. That's not a phone. Oh,
it's a scale. That's why. Footage
reveals multiple officers in training
are on scene and are guided through
protocol by higherups. We found a zero
and we got paraphernalia. You got zero
in there.
Take your hair. You want to talk?
Whose bag is that?
Stop, bro. Come on, man. Look at me.
Stop. All right. I'm not here to
belittle you. I'm not here to disrespect
you, but please don't disrespect me by
giving me a line of00. I'm not not going
to give you a line of brother. Whose bag
is that? That's your bag.
All right. And everything in it is
yours, right?
New text message from You want pictures
of the bag right now? What you get?
So, this is drug per familiar. Uh, it's
scale. Okay. You can see some resue, but
I mean it's got a bunch of on it, bro.
Okay.
Females in mine, male.
Be careful, dude. Yeah.
Hello, I'm deputy. The reason I'm here
is to conduct a search for your person.
1065. A single zero serial number for
stolen status. 25 auto. Do you know who
it comes back to? Can I come to fire?
Yeah. So, real quick, in the state of
Florida, we don't register firearms. So
like but we won't have like a to come
back to kind of thing. Oh, okay. A lot
different than Connecticut, though.
Yeah.
All right, man. Whose box is this?
What's the passcode to the box? 07. 07.
What am I going to find when I open this
up? I don't think Well, I hear something
in here already. All right, kick those
feet back in.
God damn it, mother.
Yeah, there's a white powder substance
in here. So, right where the tip of the
straw is on the side, right? What's
right next to it? What does it look
like? Little crystalline substance.
Crystine substance. And then Oh, in the
straw, it looks like there's a white
powder in the straw as well. Okay. So,
with the with the crystine substance,
what would what could you articulate
that possibly the residues?
I'm
thinking it looks to me to be cocaine or
crystine.
I'm thinking
methamphetamine with the crystine. Yes.
Okay. What's in there, man? Cuz I just
looked in there.
There's a little container in there with
a white powdered substance and a straw
with a crystine substance on it. What is
it? Just be I mean, honestly,
it's methamphetamine.
It appears some bystanders drove by the
discarded tools and equipment and took
it upon themselves to load it into their
vehicles. Hey, boss man. I need you to
leave that there for me. I need you to
leave that there for me.
Yeah. Thank you.
Yeah. Anything that you had out here.
You know who's supposed to be picking
this stuff up? I got civilians out here
picking up stuff out truck. Guy just
sitting in the back room picking up
stuff in his car. Yeah. They're they're
driving right by me right now and
there's like a big blue tool box and
other I just tried to and he kept
getting in all officers found a loaded
gun, knives, drug paraphernalia testing
positive for meth and cocaine, a second
license plate, and a stash of stolen
gear. Though Shane blames the actual
theft on the man who sold him the truck.
So the stuff was already in the back
when you bought it. Yeah. 1 bucks for
everything. Yeah. But uh under
agreement, I'll split stuff in the back.
Okay. So, you were going to meet up with
this guy another date to give him money
for the
But you don't know this guy.
Well, he's around everywhere.
Money.
Shane also detailed his relationship
with Tammy. How long you
guys not long? What's
not You're not familiar with
Flaggler? When did you get this guy?
Last night. Flaggler deputies caught
Shane less than 24 hours after he
entered the county. An example of their
efficiency, but not without controversy.
The pursuit was unauthorized and
officers sped it over twice the limit
without lights or sirens, frustrating
some civilians. In their own footage
release, FCSO edited out radio traffic
about the unauthorized chase.
110. No pursuit is authorized. No
pursuit is authorized. Conservative
statistics site that police pursuit
fatalities happen almost daily in the US
and often involve bystanders. The San
Francisco Chronicle provides some of the
best resources regarding these
statistics with an interactive website
that details some of the most dangerous
states for police pursuit fatalities
from 2017 to 2022. Georgia and Alabama
takes the top two spots with over 20
deaths per 1 million people, accounting
for 10% of pursuit deaths in the whole
nation. Florida, where this video takes
place, falls into 34th. Most pursuits in
the US, regardless of the outcome, are
subject to review by the agency, and
officers can receive coachings or
discipline if found violating policy.
Looking at the 2017 Flaggler vehicle
apprehension policy, this certainly
seems to be the case, but this
information is not publicly accessible.
It is worth noting, however, that stolen
vehicles of this nature tend to be used
in more serious crimes. Had officers not
continued to apprehend, there would be
plenty of critics upset with law
enforcement if the suspects committed a
more serious crime after getting away.
This time, the risk paid off. Sheriff
Rick Staley called it one of the most
bizarre chases of his career, ending, as
he put it, at the green roof in his
nickname for the county jail that he
often refers to in a segment he calls
Fugitive Friday Bingo. Merry Christmas,
Dirt Bags. The Grinch has joined me
today and it's time for Fugitive Friday
Bingo Super Bowl edition. Fugitive
Bingo. Fugitive Bingo. Special edition
of Fugitive Friday Bingo. New Year's
weekend edition.
Tammy faced one count of fleeing law
enforcement at high speed with want and
disregard. Five counts of principal to
fire weapon or missile into a vehicle.
One count of driving on a suspended
license with a habitual modifier. five
counts of aggravated assault on a law
enforcement officer, one count of petty
theft, one count of grand theft auto,
one count of reckless driving, and one
count of attached vehicle tag not
assigned. Her bond was set to
$152,000. For all 16 charges, she faces
a potential 35 years in prison. After
initially pleading not guilty, she later
pled no low contender, meaning she
doesn't admit guilt, but agreed to be
charged as if she were guilty. This was
likely due to a plea deal. She was
adjudicated guilty for three of her 16
charges and was sentenced 1 year and 3
months in prison, followed by 3 years of
probation. She received 122 days of jail
credit and must pay a fine of over $800.
She has since been released and records
show she has completed her probation.
chain-faced. One count of fleeing law
enforcement with lights and sirens
active. Five counts of throwing deadly
missiles. Five counts of aggravated
assault on a law enforcement officer.
Two counts of possession of a firearm or
dangerous weapon as a convicted felon.
One count of possession of drug
paraphernalia, one count of driving on a
suspended license, one count of grand
theft auto, one count of petty theft,
and two counts of reckless driving. His
bail was set to
$278,000. However, while awaiting trial,
Shane started a fight with his cellmate
over alleged stolen commissary, leaving
the other inmate bloodied before
officers ended the fight by tasering
both of them. Shane was charged with
battery on a detainee, and his bail was
revoked. For all 20 charges, he faces 62
years in prison. Like Tammy, after
initially pleading not guilty, he later
pled no contender, likely due to a plea
deal. He was adjudicated guilty for
eight of his 20 charges and was
sentenced to 8 years with fines totaling
over $1,000. He was given 184 days of
jail credit with no probation listed. In
Florida, inmates typically serve 85% of
their sentence with good behavior. In
Shane's case, this would be a 6-year and
10-month sentence, making his release
date around April 2028. If he serves the
full sentence, he will be released June
2030.
