Hey adrenaline junkies, welcome to Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series, When people Messed with the Wrong Cops, where every dumb move instantly triggers justice mode. All right, let's dive in. On May 30th, at around 4:30 p.m. in Chattam County near Siler City, North Carolina, USA, trooper Rodney Cook stopped 21-year-old Mark Diaz for a seat belt violation. What began as a routine traffic stop would change in seconds. Uh, trooper cookway patrol. Reason why I stopped you. I'm not wearing a seat belt. No reason why. What's the reason? What? Speak up. >> Diaz did not provide identification and Cook also suspected possible drug use. When the trooper asked him to step out, dash cam footage showed Diaz suddenly producing [music] a pistol. Cook tried to block the weapon and quickly backed away. In that instant, a simple traffic stop became a dangerous confrontation. All right, you want to step back to vehicle. As Diaz stepped out, still holding the weapon, Cook responded with his duty firearm. He repeatedly ordered, "Drop the pistol." before cautiously moving in and securing it. It was a tense reminder of how one sudden choice can change everything. >> Drop the gun. >> Drop the gun. there. >> Once the weapon was secured, Cook immediately called for backup and medical assistance and began providing first aid. Cook was not injured and was later placed on administrative leave while the incident was reviewed. What started with a seat belt violation became a lasting lesson. Staying calm and following lawful instructions can prevent a routine stop from escalating beyond control. >> Don't touch the gun. He's a DMS. >> He's EMS. >> Why don't we do this? Put your hand. >> On May 4th, at around 11:20 a.m. at a gas station along Gulf Freeway in Houston, Texas, USA, officers conducting a narcotics investigation stopped a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Jimmy Bryan. What appeared to be a controlled traffic stop was about to take a sudden turn. >> Sir, brother. >> When officers asked Brian to step out, police said he suddenly produced a weapon and fired several times. Officer J. Sally was struck, forcing him and Officer M. Mc Merry to react [music] immediately. In seconds, an ordinary command had become a critical test of courage and composure. >> I've been [screaming] hit. I'VE BEEN HIT. >> PARTNER, ARE YOU GOOD? >> I'VE BEEN HIT. >> DESPITE Sally being wounded, both officers responded with their duty weapons, bringing the immediate threat under control. In a moment like this, there was almost no time to hesitate. Every second mattered. >> God damn it. I've been hit. >> WHERE YOU AT? >> HE'S DOWN. >> FAMER. [ __ ] >> HEY. HEY. WHERE YOU AT? WHERE YOU BEEN? >> BEAMER. Get him in the back of my truck. >> NO. NEED A TOURNIQUET NOW. >> Sally was taken to Memorial Herman Southeast Hospital in stable condition while Mc Merry was unharmed. Brian also received medical treatment and was later charged with two counts of aggravated assault of a public servant. The encounter is a sobering reminder of how one reckless decision can turn a routine stop into consequences that last far beyond those few seconds. I've been hit. >> I got it. I got it. >> Hey. Hey. He's high up. >> On December 1st, 2022 in Thornton, Colorado, USA. Officers attempted to arrest 33-year-old Lucas Antonio Salas, who was wanted on a warrant for a parole violation. But instead of stopping, Salace fled from an apartment complex in North Glenn, driving off road and through a fence. What began as an arrest attempt quickly became a dangerous pursuit into the golf course. Let's do a reverse 911. We got to get these people out of the golf course. Direction of fire would be south from 136. >> Police Department, stop. PUT YOUR HANDS UP. >> PUT YOUR HANDS UP NOW. YOU WON'T GET SHOT. During the pursuit, authorities said Salas fired toward a North Glenn police vehicle before eventually crashing into a ditch near a golf course. He then left the car and ran across the course as officers followed, repeatedly ordering him to stop. The chase was now on foot and the tension was rising with every step. [snorts] >> Yes, sir. As officers closed in, Salas reportedly drew a weapon and fired again. Thorington officer McCall Tim and North Glenn officer Charles Festy immediately responded with their duty weapons, bringing the confrontation to an end. In moments like this, hesitation can carry a heavy price, and the officers had only seconds to react. No officers were injured and investigators recovered a point40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun near Salace. After reviewing the incident, the district attorney's office determined that the officers involved would not face criminal charges. What started as an attempt to avoid arrest had escalated across roads and onto a golf course. A reminder that running from the law rarely makes the consequences disappear. We did it. >> On July 30th, 2020, in Chicago, Illinois, USA, officers arrested Lavel Jordan after finding him inside a stolen 2018 Porsche. Jordan was handcuffed and told officers he had no weapon. Everything appeared under control, but one crucial detail had been missed. You're [ __ ] ballsy, I got to tell you. >> Wait, wait, wait. I got a ste I got speed. >> Okay, okay, don't worry about it. >> During the ride to the Grand Central District Police Station, police said Jordan managed to move his restrained hands to the front and reach a concealed firearm. For nearly 4 minutes, an officer drove with Jordan in the back seat, unaware of what he was carrying. Sometimes the greatest danger is the one no one can see coming. He was resisting arrest. So >> just watch him. Just watch. >> Put the cuffs in the front. >> Nope. >> I promise >> we're not putting cuffs in the front. I'm going to get you in the station. Take them off. >> Look. Look. Look at my head. This [ __ ] hurt. I GOT 30 REVERSE. Everyone get you to the station and we'll take >> When they arrived at the station at 5,555 W Grand Avenue, an officer opened the vehicle door to escort Jordan inside. In an instant, Jordan produced the weapon and opened fire, injuring officers and triggering an immediate response from police. A quiet ride to the station had suddenly become a critical confrontation. 101 POLICE STATION ONE BACK PLEASE ONE OFFICER DOWN AMBULANCE SHOT YOUR WEAPON DROP THAT WEAPON. THE POLICE OFFICER DOWN. DROP IT. >> Get behind the car. >> HE'S BEHIND THE POWER. HE'S NEAR THE POWER. YOU OKAY? >> SHOT. I know you're shot. >> Suspect down. HE'S GOT HIS [ __ ] ASS. >> THREE officers were injured during the incident. Jordan survived the confrontation and later pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder and five counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer, receiving a 31-year prison sentence. The case leaves a lasting lesson. Even when a suspect appears secured, vigilance can never be taken for granted. Okay. >> On January 29th, 2021, at around 2:45 p.m. near G3 in Upper Wolsey Road in Georgia, USA, a trooper spotted a silver Mazda using a turn lane to pass stop traffic before running a red light. When emergency lights and sirens came on, the driver accelerated instead of stopping. A simple traffic violation had just become a pursuit. I'm in a 1080. I'm over here by the race trike on 19 19 and Georgia 3 semi 45 radio. I'm on I'm going around the track. The Mazda raced through Henry and Fyet counties, crossing double yellow lines, running stop signs, and repeatedly entering opposing traffic. Speeds climbed above 100 mph, at one point reaching 103 mph in a 35 mm zone. With every risky pass, innocent drivers and even construction workers were placed in danger. How long could this continue before something went seriously wrong? Okay, we on the dot zone. Step out. Okay, they going to hit somebody head on home. After an earlier PIT attempt failed, the pursuit continued for roughly 20 m into heavier traffic. Seeing another opportunity, the trooper positioned his patrol car beside the Mazda and performed a pit maneuver. The fleeing car spun out and collided with another vehicle while the patrol car was also involved in a secondary collision. After miles of uncertainty, the chase was finally over. >> Okay, I just kept going down. Driver Dominique Lamar Haynes and passenger Shayla Jackson Holmes were taken into custody without further incident. During an inventory of the Mazda, officers reported finding a large bag of suspected marijuana. What began with a red light violation became a 20-mile pursuit. A powerful reminder that trying to escape one problem can quickly create many more. At around 8:55 p.m. in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, Trooper Thomas was notified that Tennessee Highway Patrol units were pursuing a Chevrolet pickup northbound on Interstate 55. As the truck exited toward MLK, Thomas took the lead. Emergency lights and sirens were active, but the driver kept going. 53. >> We're heading to Rock. The pickup moved onto Broadway and then through a residential neighborhood as Thomas tried to bring the pursuit to a controlled end. Two TVI attempts failed when the driver breakd swerved away. With homes and other vehicles nearby, every extra second added another layer of risk. >> TVI. TVI. TVI. >> Are you still on the road? on Broadway near >> Broadway and okay street >> Broadway. >> The chase eventually reached a service road alongside Interstate 55. Thomas saw another opportunity and performed a third TVI. This time it worked, sending the pickup off the service road before it came to a stop near the I-55 South and MLK exit. After several failed attempts, the pursuit was finally over. The driver, Terry Grant, exited the truck, lay face down, and was taken into custody without further incident. Officers later determined that his Tennessee driver's license had been revoked. They also found that the Chevrolet Silverado carried a fictitious plate registered to a Chevrolet Avalanche, while the Silverado itself had registration that had expired in 2021. Sometimes running only delays the inevitable and adds consequences along the way. On June 19th, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, troopers attempted to stop a white Chevrolet Impala with no license plate. The driver, Willie Lee Pastel, refused to pull over and accelerated away. What began as a routine traffic stop quickly turned into a dangerous pursuit through busy city streets. Pastel continued through intersections and ignored red lights, putting other road users at risk. Troopers stayed close and looked for a safe opportunity to stop the Impala. With every intersection, the stakes grew higher because one reckless move could affect far more people than just the driver. Here we go. >> Troopers used two PIT maneuvers before Postel eventually abandoned the Impala and continued on foot. Officers repeatedly ordered him to stop, but he refused to comply. A taser was then deployed, allowing officers to bring the pursuit under control and take him into custody. After a chase on wheels and on foot, there was finally nowhere left to run. Go see your [ __ ] hands. Let me see your [ __ ] hands. Let me see your [ __ ] [screaming] hands. Let me see your [ __ ] hands. Let me see your [ __ ] hands. Get on the ground. Get on the [ __ ] ground. GET ON THE [screaming] [ __ ] GROUND, BRO. I'mma [ __ ] you up. >> Officers later reported finding open alcohol and a loaded shotgun inside the vehicle. They also confirmed that Postel's driver's license was suspended and that he had prior felony convictions. A missing license plate had led to a dangerous pursuit and even more serious consequences. A reminder that running from responsibility rarely makes the original problem disappear. >> Street 2025 near the Golden Glades interchange in Florida, USA. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was heading to a traffic crash when she noticed a dark green Genesis G70 traveling recklessly southbound on the Florida Turnpike. The car was moving through traffic at high speed and even using the left shoulder to get around other vehicles. The trooper moved in and activated her emergency lights and siren, signaling the driver to stop. Instead, the Genesis accelerated and continued onto the ramp. In seconds, reckless driving had turned into an active pursuit, and every increase in speed raised the risk for everyone nearby. Despite the patrol vehicle close behind, the driver continued to ignore the signals and push forward at increasing speed. What would normally have been a traffic stop was now unfolding on a busy highway, leaving the trooper with the difficult task of following the vehicle while protecting everyone sharing the road. The information provided ends while the pursuit is still underway. So, the final outcome is not included here. But even at this stage, the lesson is clear. A reckless choice behind the wheel can quickly place countless strangers at risk. On a busy highway, responsibility is measured not only by where you're going, but by how your decisions affect everyone around you. October 2nd, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. in Aurora, Colorado, USA, authorities received a report about 35-year-old Alexander Collins, who was acting strangely and repeatedly saying, "I'm not going back to jail." He was also reportedly carrying a large knife. >> Get Get off the >> Get off the bus. Show me your hands. Show me your hands. Show me your hands. >> SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. NO, >> GET OVER HERE. GET SIT DOWN. >> SIT DOWN. Good boy. Good boy. >> Collins entered a nearby store, took cigarettes without paying, then boarded a bus. Police quickly surrounded the vehicle and ordered him to step outside, but he refused and moved toward the [music] passengers at the back. >> Good boy. Good boy. >> GET ME. [ __ ] HELP ME. >> GOOD BOY. Y >> officers repeatedly shouted, "Drop the knife." A K-9 and less lethal measures were deployed, but Collins continued moving forward while holding the weapon. As officers struggled to stop him, shots were fired. BOY, THE [ __ ] [ __ ] BOOST. >> Officers immediately provided medical assistance. The incident was over, but the scene left a powerful reminder. In a crowded public space, one tense decision can change everything within seconds. >> I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you, DUDE. >> SHOOT. >> GET OFF ME. January 11th, 2023, at 10:58 p.m. in Santa Clarita, California, USA, deputies responded to a shopping center after receiving a report about 50-year-old Christopher Lee Mercurio, who was reportedly sleeping outside a business and refusing to leave. >> What's your date of birth? >> Okay, so I'm just coming over the security for the mall. >> Yeah, I'm not going to move at all. I will actually kill every [ __ ] that comes here. >> Okay. Well, we don't want that. I don't care. That's where I'm where I'm at. >> A deputy approached Mercurio and asked him to leave. According to the report, he refused, made a threat, and then moved toward the deputy before striking her. She tried to create distance, but he continued advancing. >> I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight. Fight. >> Get off me. Get off me. >> If you come any closer, I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you, dude. I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot. Take the [ __ ] out of here now. >> You don't I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you, dude. >> Shoot. >> Get off. Get up. Get up. >> Stop. Stop moving. I'm going to continue to shoot you. Stop. >> The situation escalated within moments. The deputy responded to protect herself and shots were fired. Mercurio fell to the ground as assisting deputies rushed in and began providing medical aid. >> I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you, DUDE. >> SHOOT. >> GET OFF ME. Get off. Get up. Stop. Stop moving. I'm going to continue to shoot you. Stop. Do not move. >> Mercurio was taken to a local hospital while the injured deputy was also treated and later released. The incident was subsequently reviewed by California authorities. What began as a simple request to leave had turned into a tense confrontation reminding us how quickly an ordinary call can change direction. >> You have shares. >> Yeah. Right there. Put the gun down. >> On February 7th, 2023, at 3:35 p.m. in Los Angeles, California, USA, officers spotted Raone Gonzalez riding a bicycle near Tyrone Avenue in Victory Boulevard. They knew he was wanted on a murder warrant and linked to an earlier assault investigation. >> Get off the bike. Face the wall. >> Face the wall. >> He's Yeah. >> Hey. Possibly armed. Possibly armed, bro. >> Officers ordered Gonzalez to stop, but he refused and soon abandoned his bicycle before running through a parking lot. As officers followed, the situation became increasingly tense. >> 22. Suspect shot his bicycle. He is heading northbound. Tyro big. >> Hey, you ready? Would be cool if I pin him in. Ready. >> Oh [ __ ] >> GET OFF THE BIKE. Get on the ground. >> During the pursuit, Gonzalez reportedly pulled a handgun from his waistband, turned and pointed it toward an officer. In that critical moment, an officer involved shooting occurred. Gonzalez dropped the firearm, and was taken into custody. Drop the gun. Drop the gun. Drop Don't touch the gun. Don't touch the gun. >> Gonzalez was taken to a local hospital for treatment and later cleared for booking. Investigators recovered the handgun, which was identified as a privately manufactured firearm. No officers or civilians were reported injured. One decision to run had turned a routine encounter into a dangerous confrontation within moments. I need to gun. >> DO NOT REACH FOR THAT GUN. >> Put your arms out to the side. Both doors open. Westbound traffic and victory and eastbound traffic and victory and >> get him again. ANYBODY? >> August 31st, 2022 at 6:41 a.m. in Los Angeles, California, USA, deputies responded to a report of a man threatening employees with a machete near Graham Avenue. The man was identified as 41-year-old Augustine Flores. this guy. Hey, he's going to be over here. >> Deputies found Flores inside a white pickup truck and asked him to step out. According to the report, he resisted and began fighting with the deputies. Concerned that he might reach for a weapon, they moved back. Flores then retrieved a hook sword from inside the truck. This guy right here. Hey Deputies repeatedly ordered Flores to drop the weapon while less lethal tools were deployed to bring the situation under control. But Flores continued moving toward the deputies while holding the sword. Within moments, the confrontation reached a critical point and shots were fired. LINE. >> HEY, 40 UP. >> Hit him. Hit him. >> Hit him again. Hit him again. >> Hit him again. >> Flores was given immediate medical assistance at the scene. Two deputies were also taken to a medical center for injuries sustained during the struggle. The hook sword was recovered from the scene. What started as a report near a business had escalated into a dangerous confrontation in just minutes. On January 2nd, 2023, East Point Police Department officers and Georgia State Patrol in Fulton County, Georgia, USA, moved to stop a stolen white Jeep Grand Cherokee. The driver, 19-year-old Matthew Gaskins, made his choice the moment they activated their lights. He ran. control. Okay. Gaskins tore through residential streets and cut across a private backyard, putting civilians directly in his path. Officers attempted a precision immobilization technique, but he evaded it and kept going. The pursuit eventually pushed him into the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly where his options finally ran out. A second intervention was executed and this time it worked. Live. The jeep spun and slammed into an electrical utility pole with enough force to destroy it completely. The impact left the stolen vehicle totaled and immobile. Officers moved in and took Gaskins into custody without further incident. Utility crews were called to repair the damaged electrical infrastructure. Please turn off the vehicle and put your hands up. >> The stolen Jeep was declared a total loss. Multiple civilian vehicles sustained damage during the pursuit route and a utility pole was destroyed. Gaskins faces charges including possession of a stolen vehicle, felony fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, and additional charges related to property damage. He drove a stolen car through a residential neighborhood, destroyed a utility pole, and damaged multiple civilian vehicles. 19 years old and a trail of wreckage stretching across an entire county >> up in there. I thought he was going to flip it. >> Yeah, we couldn't do nothing but keep pushing them. I'm surprised, man. I I've told him my car, I'm sure. On June 19th, 2026, around 10:14 a.m., Trooper Jonathan Nut was stationary on the shoulder of Interstate 530 South in Jefferson County, Arkansas, USA, when a white 2023 Honda Accord came flying past at 101 mph in a 75 zone. He activated lights and sirens. The Accord pulled over just before mile marker 27. And for a moment, it looked like a clean stop. Then Rodney Shavers hit the gas and drove away. Boy, I sleep boy out location and end it. We'll take back there. 22 primary. I'm secondary. I'm going >> Shavers pushed past 110 mph on the shoulder of Interstate 30, weaving through traffic before exiting into the urban area of Little Rock. Multiple troopers joined the chase as Shavers hit over 100 mph through a 40 zone on West 65th Street, cut through a gas station parking lot, and pushed south on Lancaster Road at nearly double the posted speed. When he finally stopped the car on South Wakefield Drive, he jumped out and ran on foot, climbing a backyard fence before a taser brought him down. Somehow something else. >> HEY, WHERE IS HE? Where is he? >> Shavers was taken into custody without further incident. Officers who responded to the stopped vehicle found his front seat passenger, Briana Jenkins, and a two-month-old baby still inside the car. During the brief interaction after arrest, troopers detected a strong odor of alcohol on shavers. at the detention center. He refused a breath test, then voluntarily admitted he was drunk. >> Yeah, you do. You are VERY JAIL. Put your chest there. Spread your leg.

He had a prior DWI conviction from August 2025. He drove drunk through a city at over 100 mph with a 2-month old baby in the car, then told officers at the jail that he would not take any test and that he was drunk. At least one of those statements was consistent with everything else that happened that morning. retail. On December 3rd, 2025, at approximately 3:56 p.m., officers in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, were dispatched to Dick Sporting Goods on East McCain Boulevard after reports of a shoplifting in progress. By the time they arrived, the suspects had already walked out of the store and driven off in a white vehicle with paper tags. Officer Wilkerson located the vehicle and it immediately fled, merging onto Interstate 57 North. CFS comments added back door3 north on landers traffic. Check me into the field. They're about to wreck out foot bell. Passenger is on foot in the woods there. Black male wearing all black. We're on Baker County. >> Turn around. Turning back around on Bakers Acres Road. Heading back towards 161. The pursuit pushed through multiple exits and roads before the fleeing vehicle crashed out near the Interstate 440 and Highway 161 on ramp. The driver identified as Tombs jumped out and ran directly across all lanes of Interstate 440 traffic to reach a wood line on the east side. A perimeter was established and Tombs was located and taken into custody shortly after with assistance from other agencies. >> Traffic 40 left 40 left. You right now right now comments. I'm going to interate by the interate. Interstate. He's going to get on interate. >> Interstate 40 west. 40 west. He's going to wreck out. He wrecked out. He wrecked out. A search of the vehicle uncovered the stolen merchandise from Dick Sporting Goods along with two loaded firearms, a black Diamondback DB-15 rifle in 223 caliber and a black Glock 21 and 45 caliber, both with one round already chambered. The Glock was found in the passenger floorboard within easy reach. Store security footage confirmed tombs and an unknown male leaving with the stolen items. He came in through he jumped the uh the interstate and came into the wood line here. So he's somewhere in the wood line right here. >> Hey K9's going to go over towards you. The total value of stolen merchandise from Dick Sporting Goods came to $1,615.91 confirmed by the store manager who processed every item. Both firearms were impounded as evidence. The vehicle, which Tombs claimed belonged to his mother, but his family denied, was impounded by Jay-Hook towing. A shoplifting call that started at a sporting goods store ended with two loaded guns, a high-speed pursuit, and a man running across a live interstate. The merchandise was returned. The rest of the consequences were just getting started. On June 17th, 2026, the Garland County Sheriff's Office in Arkansas, USA, requested assistance with a vehicle pursuit already underway. An Arkansas State Police trooper responded and joined the chase involving a Nissan Morano that had refused to stop near a Sonic on Highway 65. 26 B 1024. Go ahead. >> Highway 65 at the Sonic with 644 Zebra Frank X-ray. 644 ZFX. It's going to be on a Nissan Morano. This way. Square southbound now leaving McGee. >> Officers tracked the Morano through local roads and parking lots as it continued evading. A tactical vehicle intervention was attempted but was unsuccessful. The pursuit pushed on until the suspect drove through a ditch and into a field where the vehicle became disabled and finally came to a stop. Still southbound on 65. >> Approaching the county line. >> He's right there. He's trying to PVI now. >> The suspect resisted arrest at the scene, prompting officers to deploy a taser multiple times before taking him into custody. He was memorandized on scene. Officers also discussed among themselves the damage sustained by the police vehicle during the pursuit. EXCUSE ME. >> Spotting over the road. >> The police vehicle sustained damage during the pursuit and the Nissan Morano was left disabled in a field after driving through a ditch. Charges and further details were not available at the time of this report. It started near a sonic and ended in a field. Whatever was worth running for, a ditch and a taser suggests it was not worth nearly as much as he thought. >> 2627, I was able to finally get through to DPD. They call an ambulance 5. July 30th, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Arkansas State Police joined a pursuit involving a stolen U-Haul trailer traveling on Interstate 30.

Bill Frasier now. He's going to be on Frasier. Trooper Ethan Hilland eventually made a successful tactical intervention, bringing the U-Haul to a stop. But when officers moved in to make the arrest, the driver suddenly accelerated again. Moments later, the vehicle crashed into a power pole and became immobilized. We're at now. He's going to be on street >> car. GET OUT OF THE CAR. Get out of the car. Get out OF THE CAR NOW. THE CAR. I KNOW THAT'S WRONG. >> The driver, identified as Jesse Keller, refused commands to exit and had to be removed from the vehicle. He continued resisting before officers secured him and handed him over to Little Rock police. What began with a stolen vehicle had turned into a dangerous pursuit across multiple roads and neighborhoods. >> He's a single boy. He just roll over. Roll over. Roll over. July 10th, 2026, at 8:09 p.m. in Broward County, Florida, USA, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper attempted to stop a white Buick Encore after observing speeding, unsafe lane changes, and reckless driving on Interstate 95. 95. >> Instead of stopping, the driver accelerated to more than 100 mph and continued through traffic. Near Broward Boulevard, the Buick struck a Toyota Camry, triggering a chain reaction involving a Hyundai Elantre, a patrol vehicle, and a tow truck. >> He just roll over, roll over, roll over. >> The Buick overturned and the driver quickly climbed out and ran from the scene. A trooper pursued him on foot and within moments the chase came to an end. What started as a traffic stop had suddenly become a chaotic scene involving multiple vehicles and motorists. We're going to have two lanes. >> No, come over here. >> Boulevard entrance or exit route. >> The driver was identified as Marqual Tavon Montgomery and was found to have no valid Florida driver license. Several people involved in the crash required hospital treatment, while Montgomery was also treated before being taken into custody. One decision to flee had created consequences far beyond the original traffic stop. >> Sorry, man. I'm already negative in the car. That's how July 31st, 2026 at 9:11 p.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. Trooper James Booth spotted a white Kia Optima driving erratically and crossing into the wrong lane. He initiated a traffic stop, but the driver, later identified as Patrick John's, continued before eventually pulling onto the shoulder.

Guys, there catch up to you. >> August 1st, 2026 in Arkansas, USA. Arkansas State Police became involved in a high-speed pursuit after a driver refused to stop. The chase quickly reached speeds of more than 111 mph, turning an ordinary road into a tense and unpredictable scene. I'm getting up. >> Troopers continued following the vehicle as it sped along the highway.

After several tense moments, the driver eventually complied. >> Hands up. >> GET YOUR [ __ ] HANDS UP. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. hands up. >> During the arrest, the driver reportedly said he had panicked because he was carrying a jar of marijuana and insisted he never intended to flee. But by then, the decision to keep driving had already turned a simple encounter into a dangerous pursuit. Sometimes a moment of panic can create consequences that last far beyond those few seconds. >> Please don't be aggressive. I'm here. They trying to take everything from me. Please, I got a guard in there. Chill out. Chill out. >> I tell you everything. Yes, sir. Please don't harm me. I I don't want no harm. I already been to jail for no reason.

The video became central evidence in a criminal trial that would later determine his fate. What the camera recorded left no room for interpretation. driver. >> All right, get off the air for a minute. We got a 52 bar run going north. >> Oh [ __ ] Thank you. Hurricane driver, STOP YOUR VEHICLE. Hold down line. 52 52. >> The footage showed Davis ramming other vehicles out of his way, driving on the wrong side of the road, and according to prosecutors, ditching a stolen gun that can be seen bouncing on the pavement. Davis took the stand in his own defense and claimed his brakes were not working. Prosecutors pointed to recorded jail phone calls in which Davis himself stated he had led officers on a high-speed chase in direct contradiction to everything he told the jury. [screaming] The jury found Davis guilty on all six counts. Five charges were unanimous. The obstruction of justice charge came back 11 to1. The assistant district attorney described Davis's testimony as the most ridiculous story anyone had ever told on the witness stand and noted that he had committed perjury in front of the jury using recorded phone calls as direct proof.
