Put the gun down. Put the gun down. >> 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. Hey, that gun down. one. On January 9th, 2021, at around 400 p.m. near the 1500 block of South Carlo Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, USA, CPD officers approached an illegally parked vehicle. Two occupants stepped out as instructed, and at first, everything seemed routine. >> By the way, all right. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. shitty. I I ain't going to let my leg [ __ ] up. >> All right. Well, you still have to come out the vehicle. Once I tell you to step out the vehicle, you have to step out the vehicle. What is it? >> Let me see your hand. Let me see your hand. Let me see. Hey, let me see your hand. Let me see your hand. >> But when an officer asked the driver to exit, investigators said she suddenly displayed a handgun. In just seconds, the calm scene changed completely, forcing all three officers to move back and take cover. >> Let me see your hands. [applause] Shots fired. Set fire. >> Two officers responded with their service weapons and the driver was struck. It was a sudden high pressure moment. One of those situations where every decision has to be made almost instantly. >> Let me see your hands. >> Shots fire. Shots fire. The driver was taken to a hospital in stable condition and no one else was injured. Copa later released video and other materials from the incident. What began as a simple parking violation became a reminder of how quickly an ordinary encounter can change. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. So you don't talk to anyone. Who else? >> Put the gun down. >> Put the gun down. >> On March 12th, 2021, just after 9:30 a.m. near Brick Church Pike in Ewing Drive in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Officer Josh Baker noticed a black Chevrolet Camaro registered to a man with six outstanding drugrelated warrants. Expecting the vehicle might flee, Baker checked for helicopter support before following it into a Dollar General parking lot. But the driver turned out to be Na Nicole Hullberg. >> Ma'am, stop. Stop going through it. Come step right back here. What did you take out of it? >> Imagine I was. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Listen. Just come back here. I think we're getting off on the wrong code. >> Negative. Just code two. So it's just in here. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Was there >> about 5 minutes from me? >> This is At first, Hbert [music] cooperated, but after Baker found suspected marijuana in a powdery substance in her bag and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup, the atmosphere quickly changed. Baker initially reached for his taser until he noticed Hbert had a handgun. He [music] repeatedly ordered her to put it down. Help [screaming] me. [screaming] >> Step out, ma'am. Put the gun down. >> Put the gun down. >> According to police, Hbert fired and Baker was struck in the side just below his protective vest. Baker responded with his service weapon. In only seconds, a conversation in a parking lot had become a frightening confrontation where every reaction mattered. >> Step out, ma'am. Put the gun down. >> Put the gun down. >> 23 shot fired. >> Hbert then drove away in the Camaro, but left the road about a block later. Responding officers provided emergency aid before she was transported to a hospital. Baker underwent surgery and was reported in stable condition. What began as a vehicle check became a sobering reminder of how quickly a routine encounter can take an unexpected turn. >> Hey, put that gun down. On March 1st, 2021, at around 700 p.m. near 1st Avenue in Harbor Drive in San Diego, California, USA, a Harbor Police officer stopped the black sedan after noticing a traffic violation. Suspecting the driver might be impaired, the officer asked him to step out for further evaluation. At first, it appeared to be another routine traffic stop. Hey, how you doing, bud? >> Come here. >> Hey, put that gun down. But as the driver stepped out, investigators said he produced a handgun. The officer immediately reacted with his service weapon, and the driver also fired during the confrontation. In a matter of seconds, a quiet roadside check had become a tense situation with people nearby suddenly at risk. Neither the officer nor the driver was struck, but a nearby pedestrian was hit by a stray round. Remarkably, an object inside the pedestrian's pocket prevented it from breaking the skin. A small detail that could have changed the outcome entirely. Fire shots fire. >> Responding officers took the driver identified as 29-year-old Daniel Quairo into custody without further incident. The pedestrian was examined at a hospital and later released. Qui Rose was booked into county jail on attempted murder and related charges while investigators recovered a firearm from the scene. What began with one traffic violation became another reminder of how a single decision can change an ordinary evening in seconds. >> This way chill. >> We're good. >> Anybody with you? >> Hey, check the area for anyone. >> Is there anybody with you? >> Is there anybody with you? Let me check that side. Are you hurt? >> Are you hurt? On August 7th, 2026, at around 6:21 p.m. near South Hamilton Road in Columbus, Ohio, USA, police responded after a silver sedan reportedly ran a red light, crossed the median, and collided with another vehicle. The driver identified as 32-year-old Brandon Bertik allegedly fired toward the other vehicle before leaving on foot. Soon, 911 callers reported seeing a man carrying two handguns through the neighborhood. >> 4571, hold the air. 103. Hey man, it's police. Don't do it. >> Don't do it. >> Don't do it, bro. Hey man, come on. Put the Put the guns down. Put the guns down. >> Put the guns down, bro. Come on. Come on. Come on. Put the guns down. >> About 20 minutes later, officers found Berdick outside a home on Arrington Road, still holding both firearms. Body cam footage captured a tense standoff as officers kept their distance and repeatedly urged him to put the weapons down. Minute after minute passed with police trying to protect everyone nearby while bringing the situation under control. >> It ain't worth it to die for. Come on, man. >> What's your name? >> [ __ ] you. >> What's your name? >> [ __ ] you. >> Come on, dude. >> [ __ ] you. >> Don't Don't do it. >> [ __ ] you. >> Don't do it, bro. >> [ __ ] you. >> Don't Come on. >> Come on. >> No, he wasn't shooting in the air like over here. >> Yeah. The call we got was that he shot in the air somewhere, but he was like, I mean, I don't know if how soon he got here. He was holding it up in the air like he was going to shoot. If he shoots up in the air, we're going to we're going to be in a bad spot. Keep that muzzle pointed the same direction, please. Shortly after 700 p.m., police said Bertik pointed the weapons toward officers and fired. Several officers responded and one officer was grazed during the exchange. Remarkably, Bertik was not struck. Even after that frightening moment, officers continued calling for him to put the guns down rather than letting the confrontation escalate further. Can you guys see him? >> Hold up. >> I got a shield. I'm on my way. >> Eventually, Bertik dropped both firearms and was taken into custody. He was later charged with felonious assault while authorities said one of the weapons had previously been reported stolen. He was held on a $3 million bond as the investigation continued. After more than 20 tense minutes, patience and repeated commands helped bring an unpredictable standoff to a controlled end. Watch crossfire. God down. God down. On April 13th, 2026 in Hillsboro County, Florida, USA, the Florida Highway Patrol was called to assist the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office after a white Mercedes-Benz SUV reportedly fled from a traffic stop. What began as a routine roadside encounter quickly turned into a coordinated pursuit. He's playing. >> FHP units joined the search and tracked the Mercedes while officers coordinated over the radio. As the SUV continued moving, every additional mile brought more uncertainty. The priority was clear. Stop the vehicle while keeping other motorists out of danger. All right. Wrong direction. Wrong direction. >> After several tense minutes, officers finally brought the Mercedes to a stop. Units quickly surrounded the SUV and gave firm commands for the driver to step out. This was the critical moment. After all that uncertainty on the road, one decision from behind the wheel could determine how the encounter ended. >> Keep your hands up to me. The driver was secured and officers checked the scene for any additional threats before turning their attention to whether medical assistance was needed. The pursuit was finally over. What started with a decision to flee ended surrounded by law enforcement. A reminder that trying to escape a traffic stop often creates far greater consequences than simply pulling over. On April 25th, 2024, during traffic enforcement on State Road 52 near Kent Grove Road in Florida, USA, a trooper spotted a white Nissan Ultima traveling at an estimated 100 mph. After catching up, the vehicle was clocked between 103 and 111 mph in a 45 m and paper zone. Lights and sirens came on, but the driver kept going. The Nissan ran a red light, made several U-turns, and eventually entered the Sun Coast Parkway, where speeds climbed above 115 mph. Police said the driver passed other vehicles using the shoulder and median, turning every mile into another risk for people who had nothing to do with the pursuit. Sergeant Dominique Howard later took the lead, but the driver still refused to stop. >> I am 1031 eastbound direction. We're heading on 589 southbound 52. I give you another unit. This explo The danger peaked when the Nissan lost control near State Road 54 and began traveling the wrong way down an entrance ramp toward oncoming traffic. With other motorists now directly at risk, Sergeant Howard performed a pit maneuver while another trooper helped block the Nissan from escaping again. After such extreme speeds, everything came down to just a few seconds. [ __ ] Get out of the car. right now. >> The driver tried to leave through the passenger side and according to police, resisted officers before being taken into custody. A prescription bottle found inside the Nissan helped identify him as DeMarco Lee Earles Jr., whose Florida license was suspended. What began as excessive speeding ended with an arrest, a costly reminder that refusing to stop can turn one traffic violation into a far more serious situation. On August 11th, 2024, at around 7:30 p.m. on US Highway 319 near Connor Boulevard in Tallahass, Florida, USA, Trooper C. Blount noticed a black Infiniti Q50 make a dangerous lane change, forcing another driver to swerve away. Blount activated his lights and siren. The Infiniti appeared ready to stop, but suddenly accelerated away. Get out the car. Get out of the car. He took off again. The driver weaved through traffic, ran multiple red lights, and crossed no passing zones as speeds climbed rapidly. Police said the Infiniti reached more than 80 mph in a 25 mil zone, continued quickly through Tom Brown Park, and later exceeded 120 mph on Appalache Parkway. It briefly pulled over only to accelerate again as the trooper approached. Moments later, the pursuit reportedly reached more than 130 mph. Near Chair's Cross Road, the Infiniti finally slowed to about 56 mph. Seeing a safer opportunity to end the danger, Blount performed a pit maneuver and successfully brought the vehicle to a stop. After miles of uncertainty, the chase ended in seconds before another driver on the road was placed at even greater risk. >> Stop right there. Gas. >> Put it in the park now. Now >> step out. >> Any more people in the car? >> Step out right here. >> Step out right here. >> Stop. Put your hands on the trunk right there. >> Come on. >> Right there. >> The driver identified as Cedric Perry Jr. and his passenger Ajurus Joseph exited with their hands visible and were detained. Officers later found about 35 grams of a substance that field tested positive for marijuana. Joseph was released without charges while Perry was arrested on fleeing and drugrelated allegations and taken to Lyon County Jail. One unsafe lane change had grown into a high-speed pursuit. A reminder of how quickly one poor decision can create consequences far beyond the original traffic stop. [ __ ] >> On January 26, 2024, while traveling east on Interstate 20 near mile marker 86 in Georgia, USA, a trooper spotted a red motorcycle with no visible license plate. Lights and sirens were activated, but the rider, later identified as Jason Clayton, looked back several times before accelerating away. What could have been a simple traffic stop was suddenly heading in a very different direction. [music] >> I'm 1080 eastbound. Red motorcycle. >> No 28 display 361. Carry speed. Carry speed. Other troopers positioned ahead tried to slow Clayton down, but he continued past them. His speed kept climbing until police radar recorded 137 mph. At that pace, there was almost no room for error, and every second on the highway carried greater risk for everyone nearby. Get there. We're coming up to the 90. Near mile marker 97, a trooper noticed sparks coming from the motorcycle and moved ahead to create a rolling roadblock. Clayton attempted to pass through the grassy area beside the patrol vehicle. But moments later, the motorcycle lost stability and went down. After miles of pursuit, everything changed in an instant. Multiple channel on 1050. Troopers quickly secured Clayton and called paramedics after he complained of leg pain. A records check later revealed an outstanding warrant related to a probation violation. While records indicated the motorcycle had not been registered since June 2010. What began with a missing plate ended with medical evaluation and legal consequences. A reminder that trying to outrun a traffic stop can turn a small problem into something far more serious. >> Why you running from me? Come on down here while you're running. >> Hands up. Let me see your hands. >> Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. >> On August 6th, 2026, at around 9:10 a.m. in Dallas, Texas, USA, police responded to an emergency on Sunny Veil Street. A woman's 9-year-old daughter was inside a white Porsche Cayenne when 39-year-old Renard McFaten approached, threatened her, and drove away in the vehicle. An ordinary morning suddenly became a frightening ordeal. The child managed to run inside and alert her mother using the Porsche's live tracking system patrol units, covert officers, and Air1 quickly coordinated the search. About an hour later, officers located the vehicle on Williamstown Road. >> 911 house needed police, fire, or ambulance. Yes. A man just robbed me and my daughter at [ __ ] beauty supply house and stole my car. It's a 2014 Porsche Cayenne. 3550 Sunnyville. >> 3550 Sunnyale.

Somebody just stole my [ __ ] car. >> Okay. Somebody stole your car? >> Yes, ma'am. >> And how long ago was this? >> It's right now. >> Okay. What color is your uh car? >> It's on the white. >> During the high-risk stop, a covert officer moved in to block the escape route. In the confusion, officer Selso Roachcha fired four rounds before realizing the person nearby was another officer. The urgent shout blue, blue, immediately stopped the response. [music] In moments like this, one misunderstanding can change everything. >> Heads up. No one's in progress. >> Hands up. Let us see your hands. >> Blue, blue, blue, blue. >> McFaten then stepped out and surrendered without further resistance. No officers, civilians, or the suspect were reported injured. Investigators recovered a loaded handgun from the Porsche. While McFaten faced multiple charges related to the vehicle, threats, [music] and unlawful firearm possession, the situation was finally under control. A reminder that one reckless choice can put many lives at risk. >> Nothing. >> Hands up. Let me see your head. >> Blue, blue, the blue, blue. >> Yo, yo, yo, drop it, drop it, drop it. On February 24th, 2026 in Parma, Ohio, USA, police were asked to check on 29-year-old Ricardo Yuki Davis after a friend became concerned about him. Officers found information suggesting he had recently purchased a Taurus handgun, but Davis and his red Toyota Corolla were nowhere to be found. What began as a welfare check was quickly becoming more concerning. >> Turn the car off. Turn the car off. Turn the car off. Turn the car off. Turn the car off. >> An emergency phone ping eventually led officers to the Brook Park Road area where they spotted Davis leaving a Walmart parking lot. Police followed and attempted to stop him. When Davis finally pulled over, officers noticed him reaching toward the back seat and immediately warned one another that he might have a weapon. >> Turn the car. He's reaching. He's reaching the back seat as you can. >> Yo yo yo, drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Shots fired. Shots fired. Down. >> Davis then stepped out holding a handgun and began moving toward the officers. Police repeatedly ordered him to put it down, but investigators said he continued forward. At approximately 1 hour 41 minutes and 32 seconds PM, officers responded with gunfire. Within seconds, Davis fell to the roadway and the handgun dropped from his hand. A welfare check had reached a point no one wanted to see. >> Turn the car off. He's reaching. >> He's reaching in the back seat. I think he has a gun in his hand. >> Shots fired. Cross fire. Mail down. >> Officers immediately secured the handgun, called for medical assistance, and provided aid before Davis was transported to Metro Health. Investigators later determined that the Taurus handgun was operable but had not been fired during the encounter. BCI continued reviewing the circumstances without making its own final judgment on whether the officer's actions were legally justified. The incident leaves a difficult reminder when warnings are ignored in a tense encounter. The consequences can change lives in seconds. >> Hey, we need the Thomas Park shut down. fired toward the deputies and Cubbage was struck three times. The officers immediately responded to protect themselves and bring the threat under control. What had begun as a routine traffic stop had become a critical encounter in only seconds, forcing the deputies to make decisions with almost no time to spare. >> We need to put her in the car. We need to go. We need to put her in the car. The confrontation ended at the scene while Cubbage was rushed to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that night and Deputy Hodgej was not injured. Investigators recovered a Glock.40 caliber handgun while the officers involved were placed on administrative leave under standard procedure. It was a powerful reminder of how quickly a seemingly calm encounter can change and why a single reckless action can affect everyone involved. On October 12th, 2022 at around 12:30 a.m. in Decar, Illinois, USA, police stopped 32-year-old Jamante O'Neal after receiving information that he might be carrying a firearm. Officers later reported that two guns were inside the vehicle on a dark rain soaked street. What seemed like a controlled traffic stop was only seconds away from taking a dangerous turn. Do not move. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Do not move. Get out of the car. Do not move. Do not move. >> Show me your Put your hands on the gas now. It's under It's under his ass. Get out. Do not do not reach for it. >> According to police, one of the firearms was beneath Neil. As officers approached, Neil allegedly reached for it and suddenly opened fire, striking Sergeant Timothy Whitmer and Officer Bowman. In an instant, calm commands were replaced by confusion and urgency. >> Grab the roof right now. >> Grab the roof right now or I'm going to end up shooting. You see a gun? >> Shoot me. There's Yeah, he's reaching for something. >> Look under my ass. Undo his seat belt. >> Do not pull away. >> Quit touching me. >> Stop. fire. >> Four officers returned fire. During the confrontation, Whitmer's service pistol malfunctioned while he was injured on the wet pavement. He quickly cleared the problem and continued responding alongside his fellow officers until the immediate threat was brought under control. Under that kind of pressure, every second and every decision mattered. Shot fire. Shot fire. >> Officer down. Officer head. Officer down. >> Whitmer suffered injuries to his hand, foot, and head area while Officer Bowman was wounded in the lower abdomen. Both officers were later released from the hospital and began recovering. Illinois State Police took over the investigation under standard procedure.
