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.

He went inside the Marriott. >> Got the knife now. Drop the knife. >> Drop the knife. >> Drop the knife. >> Hold it. Hold the elevator. Hold the elevator. >> Near an elevator. Officers repeatedly told Williams to drop the knife. Tasers appeared ineffective and despite several warnings, he refused to comply. The tension was rising by the second. >> Knife, dude, hit. >> Williams then moved toward the officers while still holding the knife. Two officers responded, leaving him injured. Once the threat was under control, officers immediately provided medical assistance. >> Shots fired by police. EMS >> Williams was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. A knife was recovered and two officers were also medically evaluated. The encounter is a powerful reminder of how a few tense seconds can carry lasting consequences. On July 30th, 2025 in Juno, Alaska, USA, officers responded outside the Douglas Library after 47year-old Marica Dedrickson allegedly threw water at a man and made offensive remarks. She was detained without incident, but the situation was far from over.

You're following them. Yep. Yep. Yep.

A deputy saw Crowning Shield running from the store and ordered her to stop. Instead, she jumped into her vehicle and drove away. Officers later found her back at her residence where she refused to exit the car and resisted being detained. >> Put in park. Step out. >> I will. Just a second. Please >> stop reaching. Stop reaching. Get out of the car. >> Grab me. I'm scared. >> Okay. Get out of the car. >> Put your hands around your back. >> Please. I need to tell my partner. >> Stop.

I'm just I'm [ __ ] I'm scared. >> Okay. Well, yeah. >> Crowning Shield was taken to the Sheriff Perry Hall inmate detention facility and held without bond on the fugitive warrant along with additional charges related to fleeing, resisting, and attempted escape.

On August 18th, 2025, at around 1:00 a.m. in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, an officer noticed 62-year-old Donald Ray making turns without signaling. When emergency lights came on, Ray refused to stop and accelerated through residential streets. TVI. >> Ray ran a stop sign and reached about 65 mph. A first TVI sent his car into a parked vehicle, but he kept going, cutting across front yards and even onto a sidewalk. How much farther could this go? >> Speed has been updated. Target through the intersection. You got the TV on. >> Officers attempted another maneuver before Ry finally lost control and struck a fence, bringing the pursuit to an end. Inside, officers found a female passenger who said she had not willingly taken part in the chase. >> Driver, get out of the car. >> Get out of the car. >> There's two. There's two. Okay, I didn't see her at all. >> Passenger, stay in the car. Driver, out of the car. >> Out of the car. Hands up. Walk backwards towards that side of my car.

One motorcycle had no visible license plate. And when Matthysse attempted a stop, the rider accelerated away. He's going to Oklahoma. He's probably at 140. I don't catch up. And the return is no traffic. It's a red sports bike, white tail, black shirt. He doesn't have a 28 on it. I caught up to him. Now he's taking back off. The pursuit crossed into Oklahoma where speeds climb from 140 to 148 mph. Even after repeated commands over the PA system, the rider kept going, cutting through streets, private driveways, and residential yards.

All right, we're slowed down to 48. He's got his hazards on. I was yelling at him at the top. So, we're still west mountain speed 61 South Ash. He's driving behind the house. Hey, you better stop.

Are you all right? >> Gole complained of wrist pain and received medical treatment before being taken [music] to the Laflur County Jail.

Sometimes knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing when to chase. The driver was described as wearing a black shirt and ski mask while the passenger wore a blue shirt. The pursuit ended without an immediate arrest, but the footage showed just how quickly a simple attempt to flee could put everyone nearby at risk. On April 18th, 2024 in Miami Dade County, Florida, USA, FHP joined Miami Dade officers in tracking a black Dodge Charger linked to multiple serious incidents. The moment troopers spotted the car on SR826, the pursuit was on. The Charger continued north despite visible damage, including a blown tire and dragging bumper. Officers could see multiple occupants inside, but none appeared ready to give up. How long could the damaged car keep going? good. >> Near 47th Street, officers saw their opportunity and used a pit maneuver, finally bringing the Charger to a stop. Two occupants were quickly detained while a third ran from the scene, triggering another search. Watching on the camera now and the subjects are on footing out.

The silent surveillance video raised serious questions about the level of force used. An internal review later supported the excessive force allegations against Warren and recommended his termination. Warren resigned while Reynoso was cleared but required additional training.
