STOP. >> ON the morning of August 27th, 2025, officers from the Willamantic Police Department were conducting traffic enforcement near ACT Magnet School on Main Street [music] when they pulled over a lift driver on Bridge Street for failing to use her turn signal. However, what initially seemed to be a routine encounter was about to take a turn when the officer noticed that the passengers in the vehicle were some he knew all too well. >> How's it going? >> Good. >> Hey, so I pulled you over cuz when you pulled on to Riverside, you didn't use your turn signal for that kind of stuff. >> I haven't you know, you know, you know how that sign right there by Dunis. That sign by Dunis, remember it used to be a heel sign. I live through my whole life. Remember the day you got me? They just changed. If you buy Dunkin Donuts and you're coming down the bridge, that used to be a yield sign and now it's a stop sign. >> Uh, do you have your license, registration, and insurance? >> How you doing, though? >> Good.

Okay. >> All right. Just stay in the car for me right now. I got to wait for another officer. Okay. >> Upon making contact with the occupants, the officer quickly recognized Julie and 49-year-old Juel Daniel Hurt. two individuals from Willilamantic that the cops knew all too well as they'd had several run-ins with the law as recently as a few days earlier when they were stopped by the very same officer. As the traffic stop progressed, the officer tried to keep the situation calm, but it soon became clear that Juel in particular had other plans for how this was going to go. >> So, because I'm honest, >> what's up? >> Because I'm honest, we're going to go through this. >> Hey, so yeah, you're honest, but what happened if if you're honest with me? Like >> I know this serious. >> Yes. Yes. I'm respecting handle like this. Check it. Check it. Check it. >> So there'sia, right? Is there more in this card?

Can you just step out? >> I've been out of the way. I've been out of the way for five years and I ain't got problem. I'm not I'm not saying you got anything. All right. >> At this point, a backup officer had arrived on scene and the officers could begin the search of the occupants. With the tone shifting in a noticeably harsh direction, the officers knew something wasn't right. And Juel was about to prove just how far he was willing to go when he felt unfairly treated. >> I've been I've been Exactly. So, just stay calm, bro. >> I am calm. I'm not you talking right now. No gunf really quick. >> No none of these my nuts. >> I got you. All right. >> Come on, man. Stop feeling me like that.

But you know disrespect me as a man. >> I've never disrespected YOU. WHY WOULD YOU RUN YOUR HAND? >> STOP. >> WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? >> STAND UP. >> You should ever touch me like I'm not a man again. >> The officer clearly hit Juel in a weak spot when he searched him between his legs and found something he definitely shouldn't have been in possession of. 80 bags of suspected purple along with roughly 3 g of and another gram of powder co. However, Jules's reaction, if anything, only made matters far worse for himself as he resisted the officers trying to arrest him and a full-blown struggle ensued. >> Uh, he's got it in his butt.
