Hey adrenaline junkies, welcome to Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series, when people messed with the wrong cop, where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. On April 16th, 2025 at around 7:45 p.m. in Anaheim, California, USA, officers responded to the Kona Motel after reports of a serious incident involving a firearm. An injured man was found while a white Chevrolet Silverado had fled the area. >> Who was it? Who shot you? >> Sit down. Where did they go? What kind of car did he get in? >> Officers soon spotted the truck, but 51-year-old Danny Lee Cobio refused to stop, triggering a tense 45-minute pursuit across freeways and city streets. One decision had suddenly put everyone nearby at risk. After several PIT attempts, officers finally disabled the Silverado in Santa Ana. A tense confrontation followed, forcing officers to react within seconds. The passenger was unharmed and no officers or motorists suffered serious injuries. >> I have the back end of the pickup truck stopped. So, they're uh 960 actually, kind of, but the the guy's on the gas trying to get away. >> I have a 960X. >> I'm going to try to go down by Imperial personal east of here and uh stop traffic there. >> Investigators later found a handgun inside the truck linked to the earlier incident. The injured man remained in stable condition while the case continued under investigation, a powerful reminder of how quickly one [music] reckless choice can change everything. >> And he can just have a heart perfect stage away. He's not not cussing yet. >> On May 26th, 2025, at around 1:55 p.m. in Los Angeles, California, USA, officers were responding with lights and sirens to an urgent domestic disturbance call on Riverton Avenue. While traveling east on Saticoy Street, a silver Honda Accord driven by 91-year-old Jose Hernandez suddenly turned left into their path. In an instant, the emergency response became an emergency of its own. >> You're good? >> The vehicles collided causing a multi-vehicle crash. Despite the impact, the officers immediately got out, checked on Hernandez, and called for medical assistance for everyone involved. >> Hey, sit down. >> Hernandez suffered extremely serious injuries, while the officers also required medical attention. What began as a routine emergency response changed within seconds. A sobering reminder that the road can become unpredictable without warning. >> Put your hands up. Get down on the ground. Get down on the Get down on the Get down on the ground. >> On July 4th, 2025, at around 6:40 p.m. in Orlando, Florida, USA, police responded to Crossroads Court after reports of a man displaying a firearm around several people. Officers soon spotted 22-year-old Zion Skepple walking away. >> Stop. Stop. Get down on the ground. Stop. Put your hands up. Get down on the ground. Get down on the Get down on the Get down on the ground. Get down on the ground. Do it now. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Get down. I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you. Get down on the [ __ ] ground. >> Skepple ignored repeated commands to stop and ran toward a nearby apartment. An initial taser attempt failed, and even after a second deployment brought him down, he quickly got back up. Then, Skepple suddenly reached toward something the officer couldn't see. With no way of knowing what would happen next, the officer drew his service weapon and firmly ordered him to the ground. This time Skepple complied. >> Get down! Get down! Get down or I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot YOU. GET ON THE [ __ ] GROUND. GET DOWN ON THE GROUND OR I'M GOING TO [ __ ] SHOOT YOU. ROLL ON YOUR STOMACH. ROLL ON YOUR STOMACH OR I'M GOING TO [ __ ] SHOOT YOU. GET DOWN ON THE GROUND OR I'M GOING TO [ __ ] shoot you. ROLL ON YOUR STOMACH. Roll on your stomach or I'm going to [ __ ] shoot you. Roll on your stomach. >> Roll on my stomach, sir. >> Keep your hands out or I'm going to [ __ ] shoot you. Put your hands behind your back. Get hands on that weasel. If you move I'm going to [ __ ] shoot you. >> Officers safely took Skepple into custody and recovered a firearm with an extended magazine containing 31 rounds along with cannabis. He faced charges for cannabis possession and resisting without violence. A tense encounter brought under control before it could escalate further. >> [clears throat] >> On September 9th, 2024 in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, USA, officers responded to reports of 41-year-old Jared Gatula behaving aggressively while carrying a metal baseball bat. >> Come on, man. I do not want to shoot you today. I do not want to shoot you today. Drop that bat. GO FOR IT. >> [screaming] >> WHEN CONFRONTED, GATULA ALLEGEDLY ADVANCED toward an officer and refused repeated commands. A taser and other attempts to stop him proved ineffective, leaving officers with fewer options as the distance >> There are my five shots fired. Hey, no more. Watch him. WATCH HIM. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. STEP BACK. GET BACK. THERE ARE MY FIVE. Both officers are up. Suspect's down. >> The confrontation ended at the scene with neither officer injured. A later investigation concluded that their actions were lawful and in self-defense. A tense reminder of how quickly refusing commands can push an encounter beyond control. >> Did not not hurt him. Good. It's good. It's good. We're fine. Fine. >> On February 20th, 2023 at around 11:29 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, a state trooper stopped a white Dodge Challenger on Interstate 630 after noticing its registration had expired. >> 630 West at John Barrow, white Dodge Challenger, Arkansas 693 693 John 693 engine. Hi, good afternoon. I'm Trooper McCollum with the Arkansas State Police. Pulled you over. Sorry, my mic. Your tags are expired. >> The driver gave the name Josh Miller, but as the trooper returned to verify it, he suddenly accelerated away. Moments later, the Challenger lost control and spun off the road near a tree line. >> Hey, get out [screaming] OF THE CAR! >> THE DRIVER JUMPED OUT and ran into the woods, forcing the trooper to continue the chase on foot. After repeated commands, he finally surrendered and was identified as Lonnie Mitchell Jr. Officers later found suspected controlled pills inside the vehicle. After receiving medical attention, Mitchell faced multiple charges related to fleeing, reckless driving, obstruction, and possession. What began as a simple traffic stop had become a costly series of bad decisions. On January 16th, 2021, at around 9:17 p.m. in Talbot County, Georgia, USA, troopers were conducting a road check on GA-96 when a black Hyundai Elantra approached and repeatedly stopped short of the checkpoint. >> As an officer approached, the driver suddenly accelerated away. The Hyundai began weaving across lanes and even forced an F-150 toward the shoulder, turning a routine checkpoint into a dangerous pursuit. With other motorists at risk, troopers attempted a PIT. The first attempt failed to stop the Hyundai, but a second maneuver finally pushed it into the median and brought the pursuit to an end. The driver, Bethany Dowdell, surrendered without further resistance. She admitted she had no license or insurance and had recently used marijuana. One attempt to avoid a checkpoint had only created far more serious consequences. >> Don't put your hands down. >> Don't put your [ __ ] hands down. >> On February 7th, 2022 at around 1:45 p.m. on Interstate 85 in Georgia, USA, a trooper stopped a Chevrolet Malibu after clocking it at 91 mph in a 70 mph zone. >> I don't know. Trooper Morrison with the Georgia State Patrol. What did you make >> that lane change up behind the Mustang? >> 93 >> 93 >> Yep. I don't know who did it and you're going and you're going 93 mph. Yeah, you are. You were in that car. >> I'm not EVEN DRIVING THAT CAR. THAT'S CRAZY CUZ HE WAS GOING FASTER THAN ME. THAT'S CRAZY. >> YOU passed him? >> I wasn't passing him. >> That's why you >> He was right behind me. >> Uh-uh, when you change when you change lanes and you sped up you're faster. >> The female driver provided information that didn't match her identity. As officers tried to verify it, she suddenly accelerated away, weaving through traffic and pushing speeds beyond 130 mph. >> It's cold out here. >> [laughter] >> I ain't going to make you stand outside. Ain't that right? >> Hold on. >> Ain't that got personal? >> [laughter] >> She used the shoulder to pass traffic and ignored a red light before attempting a wide U-turn on Old Peachtree Road. Seeing an opportunity, the trooper moved in and pushed the Malibu onto the sidewalk, finally bringing the pursuit to an end. >> [screaming] >> The driver was taken into custody and received medical attention before being transported to jail. What began as a speeding stop had escalated into a dangerous pursuit, all because one bad decision led to another. On April 18th, 2023, on Interstate 10 near Pensacola, Florida, USA, Trooper K Akers spotted a white Infiniti with a tinted windshield. Moments later, the driver began making dangerous lane changes and even passed a semi-truck using the shoulder. The Infiniti refused to stop and accelerated beyond 130 mph, weaving through traffic before exiting onto Nine Mile Road and ignoring a red light. With every maneuver, the risk to other motorists grew. The driver eventually lost control, struck a guardrail, and collided with another vehicle. He then abandoned the Infiniti and ran back toward Interstate 10, but Trooper M Grider and his K9 quickly caught up and brought the chase to an end. >> The driver was identified as Isaiah Jamal Collie. Officers later recovered two firearms and marijuana from the Infiniti, while one person from the other vehicle required hospital treatment. A traffic stop had turned into a dangerous chain of consequences, all because of the decision to run. >> Won't you sit turn around sit your butt first? Sit your butt down. Right there. Go ahead kick in there. Come on get it Yeah, we're going to check your arm. Get up in there. All right, dude. Hey, turn around YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. >> ON JULY 4TH in Blytheville, Arkansas, USA, officers responded to an apartment on East Main Street after a disagreement involving Chadrick Mitchell and his live-in girlfriend. What seemed like a routine call soon became a tense encounter captured on body cam. >> She said she spent the night. If she spent the night and she's staying there, you can't stop her from getting her clothes. >> You can't stop her from going in my house. >> Escort her in there to get her clothes where you can watch her. >> An officer told Mitchell that his girlfriend had the right to retrieve her belongings, then asked for his name. Mitchell refused to provide it and began walking away. The officer warned that refusing to cooperate could lead to an arrest. >> Hey, turn around. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. >> DAMN! [screaming] WHAT THE HELL, BRO? >> BACK UP. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. BACK UP. >> WHY YOU DOING THIS [ __ ] >> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> Seconds later, the officer ordered Mitchell to turn around and used a taser. Mitchell later said he was simply going to open the door while police believed he was attempting to leave the scene. Those few seconds would become the central question surrounding the encounter. >> WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME I WAS UNDER ARREST? >> I SAID YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. It's on video. >> Why you telling me this stuff, man? >> It's on video. Obstruction. I told him he has to give me his name. He refused. >> What he What HE I WAS GOING TO GO OPEN MY DOOR. >> NO, YOU WEREN'T. >> YES, I WAS. >> THIS DISPATCH ONE, JAMES. BACK UP. >> CALL MY DADDY, MAN. HE CALL MY [ __ ] DAD. >> BACK UP. >> Mitchell was charged with obstruction, disorderly conduct, and refusing to submit to arrest. His attorney later filed a civil rights lawsuit alleging excessive force and arguing that the body cam did not fully match [music] the written police account. The case became a reminder of how quickly a routine encounter can turn into a serious legal dispute. >> Turn around. >> Ain't nothing she hurt, bro. >> to fix it. >> Turn around and lean over the car. Turn around and lean over the car. >> You weren't going TO OPEN MY >> ON JUNE 15TH, 2015, in Austin, Texas, USA, elementary school teacher Breonna King was pulled over for speeding by Austin police officer Brian Richter. What began as a traffic stop quickly became a tense encounter captured on dash cam. >> Let me see your driver's license. You're being stopped for speeding. Put your feet back in the car so I can close the door. Okay, ma'am. Stand up for me, okay? >> No, why are you HURTING ME, MAN? >> STOP RESISTING. >> Oh my god. >> Stop resisting. >> Oh my god. >> STOP RESISTING. >> WHY ARE YOU DOING >> STOP RESISTING. >> WHY ARE YOU >> STOP RESISTING. GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> AS Richter attempted to take King into custody, the encounter escalated and King was forced to the ground. Watching those few seconds unfold, it is striking how quickly a routine stop can change direction. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh my god, are you serious? >> Put your hands behind YOUR >> OH MY GOD. >> I'M ABOUT TO TASE YOU. >> I CAN'T BREATHE. >> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> LET ME GET DOWN, PLEASE. YOU'RE SITTING ON MY BACK. OH MY GOD, GET OFF OF ME. >> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING. Are you serious? I'm trying to put my hands behind my back. >> Later, while King was being transported, Officer Patrick Spradlin made controversial comments about race during their conversation. The footage eventually raised concerns not only about how King had been handled, but also about the attitudes revealed during the encounter. >> WHY ARE MY HANDS SO HIGH? >> STOP RESISTING. >> STOP HURTING MY FOOT. STOP. >> I'm going to open my car. >> Why are my FEET SO HIGH? >> GET OUT. >> OUCH. >> PROSECUTORS LATER DISMISSED King's resisting arrest charge. [music] After the videos became public, Austin police reviewed the conduct of the officers involved. While the incident developed into a broader legal and public debate over police conduct [music] and accountability. >> So, I got to clean sweep police or I just clear out all of the police and then start all over. >> The police department is All right, vehicle 41 41 to right here. >> September 19th, 2025, Clayton County, Georgia, USA. While patrolling near North Bridge Road and County Line Road, an officer spotted a vehicle with an expired registration tag. When emergency lights and sirens were activated, the driver immediately accelerated, turning a routine traffic stop into a pursuit. >> Georgia tag Romeo Juliet Papa 0476 is on the burgundy Honda. Black Honda. >> Dennis Carey, you have a call. >> Clear, that vehicle's taking off on me. Vehicle pursuit. County Line Road. >> The vehicle headed into Fayette County at speeds reaching 116 mph in a 45 mph zone. The driver crossed into the opposite lane and struggled to maintain control, putting other motorists at risk. >> Speeds are over 106, no traffic. All right, vehicle 41 41 to right here. 41 41. [screaming] >> Approaching a curve, the driver lost control while trying to avoid another vehicle. The car left the roadway and crashed into the tree line. Moments later, the driver stepped out and was taken into custody without further incident. >> Hey. Hey, put your hands out. Freeze. >> I'm not doing nothing. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> The driver was identified as Rohan Daley. Officers found that his license had been suspended and the vehicle had severely worn tires that may have contributed to the crash. Daley was taken to the Clayton County Detention Center while the vehicle was impounded. What began with an expired tag ended with a high-speed pursuit, a reminder that one attempt to avoid a traffic [music] stop can create far greater consequences. June 11th, 2022, Georgia, USA. A Georgia State Patrol Trooper clocked a Lexus traveling at 87 mph in a 55 mph zone on Georgia 73 near Interstate 16. When the trooper activated the emergency lights, the driver accelerated [music] onto Interstate 16 West instead of stopping. The Lexus soon reached nearly 130 miles per hour. The pursuit continued onto Excelsior Church Road, where the driver reportedly ignored a stop sign, drove at high speed, and entered the opposite lane around curves. The tension kept building as the road became more difficult to control. >> Hey, left. Hey, left here. >> Clear right. Clear left. >> The Lexus eventually turned onto McElveen Pond Road and came to an abrupt stop on a dirt road. Because of the loose gravel, the pursuing patrol car struck the rear of the Lexus, leaving both vehicles disabled. In an instant, the chase was over. The driver, identified as Louie Grace, was taken into custody. According to the report, he showed signs of alcohol impairment and later admitted to drinking. He faced charges including felony fleeing, DUI, reckless driving, aggressive driving, and speeding. What began as a traffic violation had turned into a much more serious situation. A reminder that one decision behind the wheel can change everything in a matter of minutes. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground right now. Show me your hands. On the ground. >> I move, BOSS. MOVE. >> ON FEBRUARY 1ST IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, USA, 24-year-old Patrick Mumford was sitting in a driveway when Savannah-Chatham officers approached while searching for another man, Michael Clay, who had an active warrant. Within moments, officers believed Mumford was the person they were looking for. >> We probably need to talk. Stand up. Turn around, put your hands in the car. >> Mumford repeatedly identified himself as Patrick and asked to see the warrant, but officers believed he was giving them a false identity. The disagreement quickly grew tense as he remained seated and questioned what was happening. >> Hold on, man. >> Taser, >> Hold on, man. >> Taser, >> All right, Taser. >> Are you coming out? >> Taser. >> You coming out? >> Taser. >> Come out. >> Taser. >> GET YOUR HANDS OUT NOW. YOU you got 3 seconds. 3 seconds. Do do not reach. Get up. Put your hands on the car. >> Less than a minute after the initial contact, an officer counted down and a Taser was used as Mumford resisted getting up. Only afterward did officers confirm they had approached the wrong person. In just seconds, a mistaken identity had completely changed the course of the encounter. >> You have a warrant. Get out of the car, Taser. >> Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. I'D MOVE BACK. MOVE. TASER COMES OUT. TASER COMES OUT. YOU GOING TO GET IT AGAIN. >> MAN, I'M TOUGH, COUSIN. >> Despite the mistaken identity, Mumford later faced legal consequences connected to the encounter and an earlier probation case. His attorney challenged the officers' actions and released body cam footage, while police maintained that Mumford had repeatedly refused to comply. The case became a difficult reminder of why careful identification and clear communication can matter so much in a fast-moving encounter. >> I got I got you. I got you. I'm going to get it. You got to stop. Don't pull it off. You're going to cut yourself. >> You've been searched good? >> Nope. >> On October 22nd, 2022, during a daytime patrol on SR 166 East in Georgia, USA, an officer noticed a black Dodge Charger with a license plate frame partially covering the tag and attempted a traffic stop. At first, the driver slowed and even waved, but that calm lasted only seconds. Instead of pulling over, the driver suddenly accelerated. The Charger raced through intersections, ignored a red light, and made aggressive turns as officers followed. A minor traffic violation had now become a dangerous pursuit where one bad decision could affect everyone on the road. >> Are you serious? Get out of the way. >> Officers waited for an opportunity to safely end the pursuit. When conditions allowed, a trooper used a controlled tactical maneuver sending the Charger off the roadway and finally bringing the chase to a stop. >> The driver identified as Mr. Howell was taken into custody and transported to Grady Trauma Center for minor injuries. Authorities later pursued warrants related to the incident. What started with a license plate issue had grown into something far more serious. A reminder that running from a traffic stop can turn a small problem into lasting consequences. April 2nd, 2024, North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. At around 1:33 p.m., state troopers working with the FBI attempted to stop a black pickup truck speeding along McCain Boulevard. But instead of slowing down, the driver accelerated and began weaving through traffic. >> The driver ignored traffic signals and continued through residential streets, turning a routine traffic stop into a dangerous pursuit. With every turn and every red light, the risk grew, not only for the driver, but for everyone sharing the road. As the pickup turned onto Greenway Drive, one of its tires came off, forcing the vehicle to stop. This time, the driver did not continue. He stepped out and surrendered peacefully as officers moved in. >> Hands out. Hands. Hands out. >> Officers found a small amount of illegal substances inside the vehicle, and the detached tire had damaged a residential fence. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The investigation continued while the pursuit ended with a simple lesson. One decision to keep driving can turn a minor traffic issue into a much more serious situation. August 23rd, 2025, Clayton County, Georgia, USA. Around 8:20 p.m., an officer noticed a black motorcycle without a displayed tag near Riverdale Road. When the officer activated the emergency lights and siren, the rider suddenly accelerated toward Phoenix Boulevard. >> Speed is at 90 mph. >> This unit started in the corridor and advised your unit number and location. >> Like a four. We are >> Trakstar, you have an update. >> I just found 285 South on 285. >> The motorcycle continued toward Highway 314 [music] and reached speeds of about 105 mph. The rider weaved through traffic, ignored red lights, and traveled across Old National Highway. With vehicles moving in every direction, the situation became more unpredictable with every second. >> Got it. >> I'm five. >> 285 South on I-285. >> Trakstar, you have an update. >> The motorcycle is still northbound on I-285. >> I just found the motorcycle on I-285. >> The motorcycle is still northbound on I-285. >> Trakstar, you have an update. >> Got it. >> Near the curve toward Herschel Road, the officer attempted to guide the motorcycle away from traffic. An approaching vehicle forced the rider toward the grass and guardrail, [music] where the motorcycle went down. The rider finally stopped and surrendered. >> I'm the eight. >> Got it. >> I got it. >> I'm five. >> I'm five. >> What did I do? >> Black off road, I'm going to have one in custody. Just coming straight down Old National. Pull the [ __ ] over. Pull over. Pull over. Pull over. >> The rider was identified as Jimmy Gurley. He said he was not injured, but EMS was called to check on him before he was taken to Clayton County Jail. He faced multiple traffic-related charges, including fleeing, reckless driving, speeding, and aggressive driving. The entire [music] pursuit was captured on body cam and dash cam. Sometimes the fastest way forward is simply knowing when to stop. >> Nah, he uh So, I came around. I was starting to channelize him. >> On February 28th, 2024, at approximately 8:55 a.m. near LaGrange, Georgia, USA, a trooper on I-185 clocked a motorcycle traveling at 131 mph in a 70 mph zone. The rider was later identified as Kyle Lamar Wingo. What began with extreme speed was about to become a much bigger problem. The trooper followed the motorcycle through several roads, but initially held off on declaring a pursuit, wanting to be certain the rider knew police were behind him. That changed when Wingo looked directly back at the patrol car and accelerated away. At that point, there was little doubt he knew the trooper was there. >> He went around me. He's going by the lobby here. Blue motorcycle, white male. >> Ground, ground, ground. >> Wingo raced through a parking lot and returned to the roadway. Moments later, he failed to stop at an intersection and collided with another vehicle. As he tried to get the motorcycle moving again, another trooper used a low-speed pursuit ending maneuver, knocking the bike off balance and bringing the chase to an end. >> Were you hurt? >> I got you. >> You hurt? >> Hold on. You got my phone? >> Hey, no. >> You got a gun? >> IT'S IN MY POCKET. >> HEY, BABY. I'M A DOCTOR. >> ARE YOU OKAY? >> It's my phone. >> Is your neck hurt? >> My neck hurt. >> Okay. Yeah, it does. It pulls out. >> Wingo was taken into custody and told the trooper he had fled because of his speed and because he did not have a driver's license. During the search, officers also recovered a Ruger .380 handgun that dispatch confirmed had been reported stolen in Alabama. EMS checked Wingo at the scene and he was later transported to the Troup County Jail. One decision to keep accelerating had turned a speeding violation into a far more complicated legal situation. >> Let me get everything situated right here, right? >> On August 17th, 2023 at approximately 7:28 p.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police joined a pursuit after the Little Rock Police Department requested assistance in tracking a stolen white Chevrolet Silverado traveling west on Interstate 630. Within minutes, the chase was moving at high speed along Interstate 430. >> I got their Silverado on primary. White Silverado. Louisiana Charles 917056. C917056. >> At around 7:33 p.m., a state trooper performed a tactical vehicle intervention TVI, sending the pickup off the roadway and down an embankment before it came to rest on its side. Officers repeatedly ordered the driver, later identified as Alex Whitaker, to step out, but there was no response. >> Give me an alert. It's got to be somewhere up here. That dude was crazy. >> To safely resolve the situation, officers broke a rear window to improve visibility and gave several more warnings. When those efforts still failed, they used OC spray before carefully removing the driver from the vehicle and taking her into custody. Sometimes patience and teamwork are the safest tools officers have. >> Hey, driver, let me see your hands. >> The driver was taken into custody without any further incident, bringing the pursuit to a peaceful conclusion. The case serves as another reminder that following lawful commands can prevent unnecessary risks for everyone involved. >> Well, we're not talking to anybody right now. We're not going to do the tasks. >> Nikki. >> By refusing to perform the tasks, ma'am, >> On December 7th, 2024, in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA, a deputy conducted a traffic stop after noticing a 23-year-old woman driving erratically. At first glance, it appeared to be a routine stop, but the driver's behavior soon raised greater concern. >> It was really just an indecisive decision. >> Yeah, no, I He told me to turn and I turned. >> It was I I told her to turn. My grandmother's house was a completely other way and she just switched lanes too quick. I I made her nervous and that's my fault. >> I got you. Okay. >> As the deputy spoke with the driver, he noticed the odor of alcohol and several signs of possible impairment. She initially agreed to perform the field sobriety tests, but moments later became uncooperative and repeatedly refused to follow instructions. Was this simple hesitation or was there something more? >> Do you have another pair of shoes on that or do you have another pair of shoes in the car that may be a little more comfortable for you or >> No, I don't. >> Okay. >> I can't take them off. >> No, I'm just asking if they're uncomfortable if you want to take them off, you're more than welcome to. I just know how difficult it is standing in high heels for a long time. >> Yeah, I know that's true. No, it's okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I do. >> Okay, can you show me your left heel? Show me your right? >> Left, right. >> Okay. Do you want to take those off or do you want to leave them on? >> No, I'll leave them on. >> Okay. I'm going to ask you to put your left foot on the beginning of that yellow line for me. I'm going to ask you to put your right in front of your left and then hands down by your side. Okay, I'm going to ask you to remain in that position throughout the instructions and demonstration and do not begin the task until I instruct you to do so. Nope, we're not talking to anybody right now. Are you not going to do the tasks? >> Nikki. >> By refusing to perform the task I'm requesting of you, it may be used against you. >> before doing this. >> Okay, so you're refusing to do the task? >> Yep. >> You understand that if by refusing to perform the task I'm requesting of you, it can be used against you in court and I have to base my arrest decision off the probable cause that I've already developed. Yes or no? >> know what to say. >> After explaining that her refusal could be considered along with the evidence already gathered, the deputy made the decision to place her under arrest based on probable cause. The situation remained calm and the encounter concluded without further escalation. >> Okay. >> So, I'm being placed under arrest. Unlock your hands. >> Frank, can you get us a >> Is there any chance you could move your car up? We live right >> the car's getting towed. >> That's my cousin. We live right here though. >> The car's getting towed cuz the tag's illegal on it. >> Later testing indicated a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit, supporting the deputy's observations at the scene. The incident is a reminder that making responsible choices before getting behind the wheel can protect not only yourself but everyone sharing the road. >> Routine's fine. Just need you to be on the lookout. >> On December 2nd, 2023 at 11:17 p.m. in Arkansas, USA, officers spotted a GMC Yukon driving recklessly along the highway. They attempted a routine traffic stop, but within seconds the quiet night turned into a high-risk pursuit. >> Head on into traffic. And 20. >> Instead of pulling over, the driver accelerated and swerved across lanes. Troopers stayed close while carefully watching surrounding traffic. At those speeds every second mattered, not only for the driver but for everyone sharing the road. >> Full lane. Getting barrels from the pit wall. >> Troopers attempted several PIT maneuvers, but the Yukon kept moving and even struck traffic barrels along the way. With the situation becoming increasingly unpredictable, officers had to rely on timing, coordination, and training to bring it under control. Eventually, troopers successfully brought the pursuit to an end with no innocent motorists reported harm. What remained after the sirens faded was a simple lesson. Refusing to stop can turn one poor decision into a chain of consequences, while a controlled response can keep an already dangerous situation from becoming even worse. On March 1st, 2026 at approximately 11:44 p.m. in Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police attempted to stop a Ford Fiesta, but instead of pulling over, the driver accelerated away, turning a quiet late-night encounter into a fast-moving pursuit. The Fiesta continued ahead as troopers followed with every turn and lane change adding another layer of risk. And the question was simple, was getting away really worth putting everyone on the road in danger? >> It's like a wider Atlantic male with a tan hat on. Like me out there with a tan hat on. I'm going I'll try to spin it out like 20 Coming up on the three. Coming up on the three. 450 taking exit three on the passenger side. 450 taking exit three on the passenger side. >> As the pursuit intensified, troopers moved to bring it under control before the situation escalated any further. What started as a refusal to stop had now become a serious public safety concern where every second demanded quick judgment and precise coordination. >> TVI right at the two 11:45 p.m. He just threw a bag out the window. Threw a bag out the window. >> Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. >> 1190 1190 >> out. Get out. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> 1190 1190 1190 >> Troopers eventually brought the pursuit to an end, but once the flashing lights faded, the lesson remained. Running from police does not make the original problem disappear. It can simply add more legal consequences and put more people at risk. Sometimes one decision made in seconds can follow someone for years. >> 21, you good? You good, boss? >> I'm good. Good. >> 450 450 TVI TVI TVI >> On August 27th to 28th, 2025 in Jonesboro and Blytheville, Arkansas before continuing into Pemiscot County, Missouri, USA. Officers from multiple agencies pursued a white Chevrolet Tahoe traveling at speeds of up to 115 mph. What began as a local pursuit soon crossed state lines demanding precise coordination from every officer involved. Trooper Jones became the lead unit and attempted several tactical vehicle intervention TVI maneuvers.
