I was like, "Why you flipping me?" He literally shoved both his fans out the window at us. He went like this at us and I was like, "What?" All of a sudden, he's like right in front of me. >> He thought he was a master trickster. Slick, untouchable, a ghost on the highway. But the police, they caught a whiff of something foul. And it wasn't just burning rubber caught in a road rage incident. Maxwell tried to play innocent, calm voice, steady hands, but the dash cam never lies. >> Sir, how are you? >> I'm good. How are you doing? >> I'm all right. Just everyone keep your hands where I can see them. So, do you know why I'm stopping you? >> No, I don't. >> You have no idea. >> Were you guys not in an altercation on the highway with another vehicle? >> No, I was not in altercation at all. >> No, >> I just was driving back from getting some soil. >> Okay. >> I just went up to the soil and I got to my friend who runs that. >> Okay. So, the reason I'm stopping you is cuz we got a call. You got into altercation. It was I mean this this truck the caller was on the phone with you when he drove by me. and he said that's the car there and somebody waved a gun at him and there were threats made. >> No, we No, no, no. We looked at this guy and we basically flipped him off and we're like what is your problem? >> Okay, >> so it was a little bit of an altercation. >> No, he he cut us off and he cut us off and then basically we flipped him off. I don't think that's an altercation would be if if we had some sort of stop or he tried to harass us or something like that. You know what I mean? >> But it it was just a middle finger. >> Yeah, it was just a middle finger. >> No, anything like that involved. >> Who is this guy? That's my question. Like he literally cut me off going like 80. I'm trying to all my stuff calls >> right in front of me. >> I'm literally trying to go home to my family right now. >> Yeah. >> And this guy is literally I flipped him off. Okay. >> We both went like cuz he literally >> I mean stuff happens and people give people the finger and that's all that's all good. But all they they said somebody pulled a >> and was like waving a firearm and stuff. So like that's why I'm stopping you and having you put your hands out the window and all that stuff. I was like, "What the heck is going on?" I know it's a little abnormal, but like I have to make sure cuz you know they said you're waving around. >> People have these sort of rage like literally this dude then that dude started following me a bit like I said and I was like and I was literally like >> when he was following he was on the phone with us trying to you know >> following me right now. What the heck is going on? >> All right. Do you have your IDs with you guys? >> I just got a new ID. So >> Oh, you got the paper one here? >> Perfect. I'm going to have someone go talk to him. Kind of get the rundown. You know what I mean? I just have to talk to both people and get the whole story. >> I'm literally like so concerned about this guy. >> Yeah. When you get out of here while we're talking to the other person and that way there's like a time separation and nobody can follow anybody home. You know what I mean? You're saying he he cut you guys off on the highway. You guys gave him the finger kind of and then you drove around then he started following us. I'm like >> did he have a was there? Did he say >> no idea? All he did was give us a stupid look and try to flip us off back >> and he first off when he cut me off, he flipped us off. >> Okay. >> He literally shoved both his fans out the window. >> He went like this at like what >> what happened? >> I'm so nervous. >> I'm so mad. >> What What happened? I mean, did you >> I'm so I ain't around, man. >> Sure. Sure. Um, I didn't know on route 8 coming from 271 and he swerved over almost hit me. So I went around him, he cut me off, so I went to the left and I'm going. I look in my rearview mirror. I see him speeding up. He coming up on me real hard and fast. And I look and this son of a pick pointed at me >> like off out his passenger side window actually. >> Yeah. Somebody else was in the in the car on the passenger side. >> What's your uh Do you have your driver's license with you? >> Get all that. Okay, sure. I was like, "Why are you flipping me off?" I'm literally in the left lane. It's where it says quarter mile to end right there. You know what I'm talking about? >> Yeah, I do. Yeah. >> Right there. I'm on the left lane. I'm just chilling. All a sudden right in front of me. >> Okay. If if you want to just hang out here for 2 minutes, >> I'm going to walk down the street. I'm going to talk to the other dude. We'll make sure that everyone's separate and all that stuff. Okay. So, hang out here for a minute. All right. Uh just keep your hands where they're visible for my partners and then uh I'll go talk to him and we'll get this sorted and we'll get you guys out of here. Okay. Absolutely. >> Thank you. So what what the look like? Did you see what it looked like? >> I I know my bottle something like that. >> Okay. Color >> was black. >> Black. >> Okay. And he was reaching over his passenger. >> Yes. >> Pointed at you? >> Yes. >> Was the window open or closed? I mean, >> man, I couldn't really tell. I'm trying to get the hell out. >> Sure. So when that happened, what? You just slammed on your brakes or >> Yeah, I slammed on my brakes. >> You followed him up here? >> Yeah. I I I soon as it happen as soon as I see on my phone 911. >> Okay. Let me go up there and see what they're what they're getting at. >> Be careful. I don't don't want you getting hit or anything. Okay. >> Sarge. He said that uh the guy in the blue truck cut him off. So, he went around him and got got back in front of him, I guess. And he said he pointed across his passenger at him. >> The passenger or the driver? >> He said the driver reached across the passenger. He's saying basically exactly the same, but around the 271 split, then they kind of they go back around, cut in front of him, and they both give him the finger when they drive by him. >> Uh, the finger. >> Yeah. I I didn't get him out and search it, right? But >> did he say anything yet? >> No, they denied any firearms. Neither of them have permits. Not that that means that they can't have one. >> Yeah. All right. >> You want to get them out and >> Yeah. I mean, >> take a sneak peek. >> Okay, we can do that. >> You're the boss here. >> No, cuz he's he's fired up. He wants him arrested. But if there's no there Yeah. >> Watch as officers order them out of the vehicle. Every movement tense, every second charged with uncertainty. Hands visible, voices firm. They're checking for weapons. And one wrong move could change everything. What's up, guys? So, he obviously said there's car. You guys are saying there's no car. Okay. Is it okay if we take a look to a >> saying that I'm not saying that, but I'm also saying it's fine. So, uh, I really just don't feel am I being detained or >> Yes. Yes, you are. Yeah. >> Yes. Yeah. There's an allegation that I pointed at this man behind you. >> There was no way. >> Okay. Is there in the car? >> There is. >> Okay. Where is it at in the car? >> Okay. >> He wants to press charge on something like that. He can do that separately. Right now, I'm having date night with my girlfriend at 5:00. Go to my date. >> Okay. Well, you guys are going to have to exit the car. Okay. And I'm going to take a look at the All right. >> At the end of the day, I'm I'm going to lock it and I'm not going to let you get into my car. >> Okay. No, you're you're not going to lock it cuz there's a car. That's evidence right now. If you lock it, then I'm going to open it and I'm going to break your stuff. Okay. >> That's the bottom line. Okay. >> What's that? >> Sir, I'll step out of the car. >> Yeah. Yeah. Slide on. We're just going to give you a quick pat down. >> Absolutely. Go for it, sir. Absolutely. Go for that. Back on the face of the car for me. have any other weapons on you? You want to go to truth? >> All right, you're good, man. Why don't you go ahead and stand by the truck over there? Okay. He said it's in the glove box. My biggest concern is this person going to follow me home or do they know who I >> We're going to we're going to we're going to try to make sure that there's no other >> I literally have my family. I have my my pregnant woman, my daughter. So, it's just like I'm just feeling like really like wow. >> Can I do something against him? Can I get some sort of dispute against him? So, he can't come near my family since now I feel like he's personally coming after me. >> I mean, if it becomes an issue like that, yes, you could absolutely talk to the court about this is literally have multiple >> Yeah. It's got to be a pattern of stuff going on. >> Absolutely. >> So, yeah. I'm not trying to be a jerk to you. We just got >> and I'm just trying to be honest and open with you guys. That's all we have. >> So, that stayed in there. It was never never typically Yeah. Typically, when I go to pick up from my soil, I usually have it locked. Okay. Okay. >> And then when I go to pick up my soil, I have it locked in case, you know, we're in the middle of Cleveland. Feel really uncomfortable with my truck parked. >> That's fair. Yeah. >> Yeah. There's two. >> We probably paraphernalia and stuff, but like these are blanks. It looks like >> both fingers out the window. >> When you guys passed, he cut you off. You guys passed him. >> He literally cut us off and flicked us off at the same time. >> Both fingers out the window. >> Both fingers out the window. Literally was going ahead of us. Literally, we hit a semi. We caught up to him. We flicked him off. Then he literally just got behind us and started following us. >> Okay. So, do you think he might have mistaken the you flipping him off as >> what he was trying to do. We were going by him so fast that we literally flipped him off and we're screaming like you and basically that's it. >> Okay. >> Same thing he did to us. >> Okay. >> This sucks. Okay. >> Does suck. Do you feel like detaining these guy? This guy. >> We will hear for now. He's like under control. He doesn't have any on him. >> Okay. I think once we confirm with what they're going to want to do. >> Yeah. Then we'll uh we'll detain them for him. We have uh aggravated menacing, but it uh we made the stop on the car, but the incident took place. I I think it's going to be Summit County's jurisdiction. >> Okay. I'll give the a call. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. >> Where'd you go to school after that stuff? >> You have AAN. >> Okay. Yeah, they have a great engineering program, that's for sure. >> Yeah, the chem program was awesome. And I worked in like hydrogen fuel cells, like Rolls-Royce, LG doing like >> Rolls-Royce. >> Yeah, Rolls-Royce. >> Oh, wow. >> It was fun. It was fun. Um, jurisdiction wise, where this incident took place is Summit County. Okay. We're having them come out here, but based off his statement and the evidence that we have, you are you are detained right now. Okay. For aggravated medicine. All right. We have all the evidence to support what he's telling us, >> sir. I'm just letting you know how it is. So, we got to have you sit in the back of the car. All right. >> He can take the truck if you want him to. It's up to you. >> I want him to go home to my family. I really just want to go home to my family right now. >> Okay. >> If you want to know the truth, I had my date night tonight. I didn't do anything. He can't prove anything. I just want to go home today. >> So, you're not you're not under arrest right now. What does that mean then? >> You're saying you're not under arrest. You're you're not you're not free to go. >> Okay. >> Do I have a right to a lawyer right now or? >> No. Uh so, we're have a seat in in my car. >> No, no, it's it's okay. I'm just curious about Okay. I was just curious if I have a right to my lawyer because you're telling me you're not arresting me. >> You're not under arrest, but you are being detained. >> That's okay. You can detain me, sir. I'm not resisting at all. All right. So, we're just going to have a seat there. Does your friend have permission to take your truck? >> He has permission to take my truck and all our belongings to my house. >> Okay. You want anything out of the truck? >> Yeah. Do you want anything? >> No. I just want him to take everything in my truck over there. >> Okay. >> All right. Sit tight. Okay. You want to hand him the keys? >> Yeah. >> All right. He's letting you take the truck. He wants you to take the truck and all of his belongings to his house. Okay. >> Do you know like what's going to happen by any chance? >> I do not. So, um, we have to wait for county to see, but yeah, if it happens, so he'd be under arrest. We'd be taking him back to our >> Now, if they arrest him, where do you think they'll take him? >> Summit County, >> most likely. >> Okay. >> I can't say for certain, but yeah, you're good to go. You don't have any other questions. Okay. Thanks, man. Go ahead. >> Were you saying something? I'm sorry. >> Was he trying to find his phone? >> Yeah. >> I'm trying to call the phone. >> Did he find his phone? >> His phone? >> Yeah. >> I don't know where else he could be here. You guys didn't take it? >> No, we didn't take it. >> You got it. Okay. You got it. Okay. I don't really. Yes, sir. >> I'd like to go home to my family now. >> Okay. But you can't. >> I'd really like to go home there because right now there's nothing that can be done. This is just some sort of dispute between what someone says. >> Let me tell you something. If this happened and still you would be under arrest right now. >> I understand that for between what people say between people say there's all sorts of things. We can take that to court and >> it will be taken to court. >> And we can take it to court >> but we have enough we have enough probable cause here to make an arrest. Okay. But it's Summit Countyy's jurisdiction. So that's why we have to have them come out. >> So I'm just saying if you guys could push it off so I could please go home to my family. >> You may be going to jail, man. I don't I'm not going to jail. >> I know you don't want to. But I'm just telling you not like to go to jail. >> I'm being honest with you, though. I'm telling you. >> I'm not saying that. I don't deserve to go to jail. This is between him and me between this dispute. That makes no sense. He's going to say he's going to say, "Oh, this looks like this. Everything looks like what and this and that." That makes no sense. Now it's based on what you guys say. No. >> And you're saying that I'm being not being arrested, but then you're basically saying I'm going to be arrested. No, I'm saying if this happened and still you would be under arrest. >> So, you're saying you're trying to get me arrested? You're trying to >> I'm saying I'm having some county come out here to make a determination on what they want to do because it's not our jurisdiction. >> Yeah. No, that's your guys' job. I understand that and I respect you guys. I have no prior offenses about being negative or malicious or violent. That's great. So, I feel like at the end of the day, I don't know why this is accusation you guys would be saying, "Yes, we should keep pushing forward with this instead of making it more of a civil matter." >> Because it's a criminal matter. because he's alleging that something happened and there's evidence in the car to support that. >> There's no evidence to support anything. He doesn't have any evidence. >> There's a there's a car that matches the description that he gave me to a team. >> He said a a black >> it's not every single is like that is shiny and looks like that's what anyone would say. >> It'd be different if there was no in the car. He'd be good to go. He's adamant about what he saw. >> And I get he's adamant, but also he is he going to, you know, how is he going to follow me and and all this after that? This is what I'm curious about because now I'm feeling concerned about my own safety. He also said a very generalized description that makes no sense. Mine is not even freaking the same thing. It's blue. First off, I don't I didn't do that. I wouldn't do that. And no, he's giving generalized conceptions because he has some sort of butt hurt about me being in an ice truck, having it, him being upset because he wants to cut me off cuz I don't know, his life sucks. I literally don't care. I literally just want to go home to my family. That's what I'm trying to say. >> That's fair. Um, >> so am I going to get my private property back? You're >> Yeah, >> that's gonna be up to the Summit County deputy that comes out here. So, >> and if you wanted to if I wanted to transport them home or whatever, I'd probably have you guys take me home then after. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. We'll see what they want to do when they get here. Have to hang out in the meantime. Okay. So, hopefully this county guy knows where we're at. >> I told them we were at Second Northland and [ __ ] Falls. >> Okay. That's what it says. Cheers. >> I mean, when when he gets here, you can probably clearly you want to give him your rundown what this guy said real quick and uh got from him and you know what I mean? And then you can probably get out of here. >> Okay. This guy's heading towards the call location. >> I like that I don't have to arrest anybody. >> Yeah, me too. >> Can you make sure that the county car in route to our location knows that we're at Second Street in Northland? >> He's driving around the location that the call was at. >> Oh, is he? >> Yeah. >> I'm going to give this guy an update here. Okay. >> So, he knows what's going on. >> All right, sir. He's He's under in the back of our car. Okay. >> So, there is a deputy in route to our location to make a determination on if he's going to make an arrest or not. Okay. >> Okay. >> If it happened in Stow, you would probably be under arrest based off the evidence we have in your statement. >> Okay. >> Sorry. You got to wait. >> No. Hey, people like that man don't need to be don't need no >> Yeah, I agree with you completely. So, >> all right. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Unrelenting in his act, he played the victim to perfection. Even took a phone call, mocking the entire situation as if the truth was just another game. But for the officers on scene, this wasn't about pride or patience. It was a battle to stay firm, to stand by the truth, no matter how loud the lies got. >> I don't know. These people got road rage, bro. They got something against people who aren't driving. Apparently, people just got road rage, bro. They'll go out of their way to you because they got nothing else better to do with their life. So, I guess that random dude just gets satisfaction out of this. And that's just how some narcissists are, my friend. >> Look at him. Look. Look. This guy is still down there. He definitely saw where my family went, bro. You definitely saw my truck take a right there. Yo, guys, can I get out? Can I at least stand like right here for a minute? >> Okay. You got any water? >> I do not. >> Okay. I was just curious. Nope. No water up in the Here we go. >> There we go. What's going on? Okay. You guys have statements? >> We do. >> We have one statement from this guy. He's not able to read or write, he said. But I got able to read or write. That's what he said. >> How old is this man? >> I don't He could just >> He can't read and write. That's what he said. >> And he can drive legally. >> Yes. Okay. This guy have a car. >> Yes, he did. Blue Toyota. >> What was that? >> It was a blue Toyota truck, but his friend took it. We had >> Okay. >> Look, they got this random dude coming out now again. Who is this random dude? They got my knee locked up. >> Okay, he got his report. Now he's going to get my report. >> Making progress. Making progress. Almost there. >> That's what I like to hear. >> Just want to get his side of the statement. He's still going to jail and that's it. >> Okay. >> Hey, Maxwell. What's up, man? What's going on? >> Well, you know, bacon out back here. >> Yeah. What's going on, man? >> He's not handcuffed. >> So, this person >> I'm hearing bad things. >> This person >> I need to hear the truth, though. >> You're not hearing it from him. >> I'm not. >> No, you're not. >> Okay. This person was driving extremely reckless. >> I'm coming up there. He comes flying over trying to get in my lane. Starts going like this over towards me. I'm already going like 65. They're going like 90. They fly up. They flick me off. >> So then they started swerving at me. We passed them >> and we basically flicked them off cuz they flicked us off. So basically they had flicked us off for no reason coming by and was continuing to make gestures at us. And then basically we drove by and then they started following us at which point I felt threatened. Okay. >> They came behind us and started following us for like a mile >> instead of how could it be wildly guessed that you had a >> Most people have a Most people have a in general. >> Okay. >> I'd say I'd say >> you not once displayed that. >> No. Never. >> Even when you were in fear for your life? >> Never. >> So, how was he able to describe your to the team? >> My He was not able to describe. He described a general from what the other officer told me. And literally, this person just saw where I got off, where I'm going. Like, why is this this person seems like the aggressor coming after me? I'm not coming after them. I didn't chase them off the highway. They literally chased me off the highway. >> So, that's your pocket I need to know about. >> No, sir. No, >> just a just a lighter. >> Whoever you're on the phone with, go and say goodbye. Hang up the phone. >> Okay. Bye. >> Go on. Step out and face the door. >> All right. Go and fix yourself back up. >> All right. Thank you very much. >> Hop back inside. Yep. >> Thank you, officer. All right, come on. Step out. >> All right, let's do the same thing. Face the door. Put your hands up. >> Put your hands together like a prank. >> Hop on in. >> All right. >> The act was over. The smirk gone. Maxwell was taken into custody and booked into the Summit County Jail. The charge, aggravated menacing. What began as road rage ended with handcuffs and a lesson in consequences.
