HEY, RIGHT THERE. >> 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. >> [music] >> HEY, RIGHT THERE. >> ON NOVEMBER 12TH, 2023 at 8:42 a.m. in Okaloosa County, Florida, USA, deputies responded to McLaren Circle after reports of a vehicle repeatedly honking through the night. Minutes later, a woman reported that her 22-year-old boyfriend, Marquis Jackson, had allegedly taken her car without permission and sent threatening messages. Jackson arrived around 9:09 a.m. and was detained while deputies continued the investigation. >> Shots fired! SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED! Shots fired! >> As Deputy Jessie Hernandez approached the patrol car for a second search, a sharp popping sound rang out. Believing it might be a gunshot, he shouted shots fired and nearby deputies reacted immediately. A reminder of how quickly tension can escalate when information is incomplete. >> What? What? HEY, RIGHT THERE. OVER THERE. I'M HERE. WHAT? OVER THERE. I NEED HIM IN THE CAR. I HEARD A SHOT THROUGH THE CAR. OH. Get out! >> GET HER! GET HER BACK NOW! >> NO! >> [screaming] >> INVESTIGATORS LATER determined that no weapon was involved. The sound came from an acorn [music] striking the roof of the patrol car. Jackson was unharmed. The deputies were cleared of criminal wrongdoing, and the incident became a sobering reminder that even a small sound can completely change the course of a rapidly unfolding situation. >> Let's get further back. Further back. Further back. >> On February 11th, 2024, at approximately 1:53 p.m. in Houston, Texas, USA, a woman later identified as 36-year-old Genesse Moreno entered Lakewood Church with her 7-year-old son before suddenly creating a dangerous situation inside the building. >> I think there was about six to eight that they actually put as part-time employees. I don't know how they did it with their agency. >> An off-duty Houston police officer working security immediately responded after hearing the disturbance. A nearby off-duty TABC officer also rushed in to assist as people scrambled to find safety. Within seconds, the quiet gathering turned into a scene of panic and uncertainty. >> This is Moreno. >> I need units. I need I need I need I need I need 30 rounds right now. >> YOU KILLED MY SON. >> I need units. I need I need I need >> Stand up. I have my phone. Stand up. All I need is help. >> I got one female shooting rifle. I'm being gunned down on the west corner. >> I need your help here. >> I got a 1500 on the west side. 3700. >> I need help. I need help. That's all. >> 48, do you hear me? Turn on the lights. Yeah, copy. >> There's a bomb in this side. Stop shooting. >> Did she have a detonator? >> The two officers worked together to quickly stop the threat, preventing the situation from escalating further. During the incident, the woman's 7-year-old son and another adult were injured and received emergency medical care. Officers also investigated the suspect's claim of [music] having explosives, but none were found. >> Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. >> She had a bomb. >> I apologize. >> Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. >> PUT THE WEAPON DOWN. >> I CAN'T. >> HOLD ON. WATCH OUT. >> MIGHT be a bomb. >> Hey. >> Who Who has the radio? >> I can see the shooter down. I need a medic. I have one young male, conscious and breathing. >> Investigators later confirmed that no [music] explosives were present. Thanks to the officer's swift response, the danger was brought under control within moments. The incident highlighted how preparedness and decisive action can help protect countless innocent lives when every second matters. >> Hey, what's the situation? >> It's terminated. >> Any officers hurt? >> Officer Yianni is okay. >> Got him. >> Instant. >> Hey. Hey. Hey. Stop. >> On April 6th, 2024 at approximately 4:58 a.m. in Los Angeles, California, USA, West Valley Division patrol officers noticed a gray 2019 Lamborghini Huracan stopped at a red light with its driver apparently asleep behind the wheel. >> 50 27 is 27 at 405 and 407. >> How do you want to do this, sir? >> How's it going, man? >> Good. Good. Good. >> Do you have a driver's license on you? >> The officers initiated a traffic stop, but a records check revealed the driver, 51-year-old Elliot Dugan, had multiple felony warrants and the Lamborghini had been reported stolen. When repeatedly asked to step out, Dugan suddenly sped away, triggering a pursuit. >> It is 10-50. >> Hey. HEY. HEY. STOP. >> THE UNIT >> 4101 LEFT OF YOUR 10-20 WITH THE SUSPECT VEHICLE. YOU'RE >> WHERE'S HE AT? >> YOU GOT HIM. YOU GOT HIM. >> GO GET HIM. >> HEY, HE'S GOING TO BE 10-50 AGAIN. >> 10-47, PURSUIT is still in progress. He's going to be 10-50. He's crashed. He's TC'd. >> Only seconds into the pursuit, Dugan lost control at high speed, crashing into the center median and several trees. The impact tore the vehicle apart and scattered debris across the roadway, leaving nearby officers and witnesses stunned by how quickly the situation unfolded. >> 10-47, let me have the frequency. Vehicle is TC'd. Uh major TC damage. Let me get an RA starting to roll. I need uh traffic shut down. Oh, wait. >> Ready. >> Emergency crews responded immediately, but the driver could not be saved. Several parked vehicles were also damaged. The incident served as another reminder that a single decision to flee from law enforcement can lead to irreversible consequences within moments. >> And uh Uh 10-50 again. Aw. >> Nelson! >> Okay, I'm going to piss my pants. >> On February 16th, 2024, at approximately 4:28 p.m. in Austin, Texas, USA, Austin police officers Dalton Schroeder and Jason Wright responded to an urgent welfare check after reports that a young child was choking at a family gathering. >> NELSON! >> THIS IS JASON. LET ME ON THIS. >> NELSON! PLEASE! NELSON! PLEASE! Let me in Please! >> When the officers arrived, relatives explained that the child had choked on a piece of candy and was struggling to breathe. Every second mattered and the family could only hope help had arrived in time. Without hesitation, Officer Schroeder grabbed his personal anti-choking device and immediately began life-saving efforts. Within moments, the obstruction was cleared and the child was breathing normally again, bringing overwhelming relief to everyone at the scene. The child recovered safely thanks to the officer's quick thinking and preparedness. The incident was a powerful reminder that sometimes the most heroic moments don't happen during dramatic pursuits, but in the quiet race to save a single life when every second counts. >> [crying] >> Okay, if she has to see a judge, it'll be like tomorrow around 11:00 or noon. >> On March 24th, 2024 in Okaloosa County, Florida, USA, deputies on beach patrol contacted a group of spring breakers after noticing what appeared to be an alcoholic drink in the hand of a 19-year-old woman. >> How are y'all? >> Good. >> Good. You guys on spring break? >> Yes, sir. >> What school? >> Oh, you know, Lafayette. >> Lafayette? >> Yeah. >> Yes, sir. Lafayette. >> Bunch of y'all are down here. >> We did not bring alcohol here. Like, I am literally so responsible when it comes to this stuff. Can you stop Like, don't video me. I'm serious. >> Okay. So, >> Like, there was one I drank at the house, okay? The officer said, "You have a house for a reason." So, we took that as we should. >> The young woman insisted it was only water and explained she had been drinking responsibly at home. However, after speaking with her and reviewing the situation, deputies determined she was in possession of alcohol while under the legal drinking age. They later confirmed it was her second offense. She has my bag. >> Oh my god. Do I really have to sit down? Like, can you stop videoing? I feel like that's like my right that I can't be videoed. >> I'll talk to you in a minute. After consulting a supervisor, deputies calmly explained the legal process and informed her she would be taken to the booking facility. Despite the difficult moment, she remained cooperative, even sharing a few lighthearted comments about her future goals, reminding everyone that one poor decision doesn't have to define an entire future. They leave the hat. >> Oh, yeah. Probably leave the >> Yeah. Okay. Um also, >> Oh, no. You're going to look ugly in that mug shot, yeah. >> Don't worry about that. >> Make [laughter] sure to fix her up before. I mean, shoot. >> Real quick, ma'am. Real quick. All right. So, they're going to have you take off all of your jewelry, >> a while. It's fine. >> $45 or so. >> So, but you can You should be able to have it repaired. >> you can get this ring off. My finger's kind of swollen. Okay. Necklace number two. >> All right. As long as you don't run, we'll be cool, okay? If you run, >> told me how painful those things were, but I didn't believe it before. >> Is this one permanent, the one on your wrist here? >> Yes, yes, sir. That's the one I >> Okay. All right. >> Oh my god. My big's going to be so mad. We have matching ones. >> Okay. If she has to see a judge, be like tomorrow around 11:00 in or in >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Oh, wait. Do you want a ponytail? >> All right. >> Is she allowed >> No, we're about to be out the wind. I'm fine. >> take that too. >> Yeah. >> They will? >> So >> Can you help us out in like >> The deputies completed the required paperwork before transferring her for further processing. The encounter ended peacefully and served as a reminder that understanding and respecting the law, even during celebrations, can help prevent lasting consequences from a single moment of poor judgment. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Are you okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Are you talkative cuz I like to talk? >> Yes, I do. Yeah, hold on. On June 12th, 2026, near mile marker 83 on US1 in the Florida Keys, USA, Florida Highway Patrol attempted to stop a Ford Escape after it was reportedly driving recklessly. Instead of pulling over, the driver accelerated, setting off another dangerous pursuit. >> The car, stop. Stop your car. Stop your car. >> As troopers followed the vehicle, they learned the driver had been released from jail earlier that same day after a separate fleeing case. Investigators also discovered the Ford Escape had been taken from the parking lot of the Plantation Key Courthouse and belonged to an investigator with the State Attorney's Office. >> He's taking off in a vehicle. He's in a city vehicle. It's going to be a Ford Escape. 65 Toyota 4Runner. Yankee Echo 694. >> Even with emergency lights and sirens behind him, the driver continued trying to escape, forcing troopers to make quick decisions to protect other drivers on the roadway. Every mile increased the risk, proving how one reckless choice can endanger countless innocent people. The dash cam footage captured the entire pursuit as investigators continued handling the case. The incident became another reminder that attempting to flee law enforcement often leads to far more serious legal consequences than simply stopping and cooperating in the first place. >> Was it this guy in the SUV? He almost went head-on with you, right? Yeah, yeah. He's uh he stole the vehicle, that's why. Yeah. >> On July 9th, 2026, while patrolling Arkansas State Highway 122 near Newark, Arkansas, USA, an Arkansas State Police Trooper noticed a black Ford Mustang hesitate at an intersection before suddenly accelerating away and running a stop sign. The Trooper activated emergency lights, but the driver refused to stop, racing through city streets, ignoring multiple stop signs, and reaching speeds of nearly 136 mph. During the pursuit, pieces of the Mustang began breaking away, showing just how far the driver was willing to push the vehicle. >> Speed 110. Dispatch, we're going He ran the four-way here about 120. We're headed toward Monroe. We're trying to get caught out so I can DVR. Dispatch, he's Dispatch, we're following a black and green Mustang, natural 28. >> As traffic increased near the White River Bridge, the driver attempted to squeeze past vehicles on the shoulder before losing momentum on a rocky embankment. The driver and two passengers then ran into a nearby wooded area, leading officers into a brief manhunt. >> Okay, tell me where they're at. >> Kia Sportage just ran off right here by the river. >> Car advised of the vehicle on 122 headed toward >> Go. >> Go. Go. GO. GO. >> WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE INDEPENDENCE COUNTY Sheriff's Office, all three individuals were safely taken into custody about a mile away. Investigators later determined that claims about additional armed suspects were false. The incident served as another reminder that fleeing from law enforcement rarely changes the outcome. It only makes the situation more dangerous FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. >> GO. GO. GO. >> ON JUNE 9TH, 2026 AT 1:47 p.m., Los Angeles, California, USA, officers spotted a gray pickup with a paper plate near Washington Boulevard. A man stood by the driver's door and something about the scene felt unusual. >> He said it's 2797 already 1353. Can I get a condition? >> No, I didn't hear it. To be honest, no. >> How are you doing? >> Okay, he is looking suspicious on Army Trail. Army Trail 11. >> As they approached, they saw 35-year-old Marco Flores holding a handgun. When officers moved in, he suddenly sped off, turning a routine check into a high-speed chase through busy streets. Everything escalated in seconds. >> Garnett. >> TC. TC. TC. >> Get your gun. Get your gun. Get your gun. >> Running through a white town. Could be a male Hispanic white town. >> Shoot. >> We got him. >> The pursuit ended when Flores crashed and ran on foot. During the chase, he fired toward officers and one officer was hit in the chest but protected by a ballistic vest. Officers responded and brought the situation under control. In moments like this, every decision matters. >> STOP REACHING. GUN, GUN, GUN. >> FLORES WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND TREATED AT A HOSPITAL. Investigators confirmed the vehicle was reported stolen and the weapon was recovered. He now faces multiple serious charges. As things quiet down, one truth remains. Choices shape consequences. >> Get out of the VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. >> ON November 9th, 2023 at 7:44 a.m. Hillsborough County, Florida, USA, deputies responded to a mother's call about her son acting violently at home. The situation already felt unstable. They found 28-year-old Ralph Booze in a vehicle. He refused to cooperate and drove away, then suddenly returned accelerating straight toward the deputies. In seconds, concern turned into danger. >> Get out of the VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. >> [screaming] >> GET ON THE FLOOR. >> TWO DEPUTIES WERE HIT AS THE VEHICLE struck them. Other officers quickly intervened and after Boozy ignored commands, he was subdued. Every second demanded quick decisions. >> Taser, taser, taser. Get on the GROUND RIGHT NOW. >> BOTH DEPUTIES RECEIVED URGENT medical care. Boozy was taken into custody and faces multiple serious charges. When everything calms, one truth remains. Actions always bring consequences. >> Drop the gun. DO NOT WALK UP TO THE GUN. >> You said don't LET HIM GET THAT. >> ON MAY 13TH, 2025 at 8:20 p.m. Jacksonville, Florida, USA, officers responded to multiple calls about a man firing a gun from a trailer. The quiet evening quickly turned tense. Officers saw 44-year-old Calixto Benvenuti holding a firearm on the porch before he went inside. Despite repeated commands to come out unarmed, he refused. A warrant was issued and SWAT arrived continuing efforts to resolve the situation peacefully. >> He's walking toward the house right here. He does appear to have anything. >> Hey, show me your hands. Show me your hands. >> Yeah, people right there. >> Hands up. >> Your hands up. >> Go back. Go back. Go back. >> Your hands up. >> Hands up. Go the [ __ ] back. >> He's got the gun. >> Hey, drop the gun. Drop the >> Drop the gun. >> Drop the gun. >> Sir, drop the gun. >> No, drop the gun. Do not walk up to the gun. >> You said don't LET HIM GET THAT. >> HEY, HE'S STILL MOVING. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. >> I can't see his right hand. >> We got shots fired. He looks down. >> Hours passed. At one point, he stepped outside, fired once into the ground, then went back in. The standoff stretched into the early morning. When he finally came out again and moved while armed, officers reacted in a critical moment to stop the threat. Benvenuti was taken into custody and received emergency aid at the scene. Authorities later confirmed the situation is under review to ensure all actions followed procedure. When it ends, it leaves a quiet reflection how quickly tension can rise and how important it is to choose a safer path. >> Hey, he's still moving. Hold on. Hold on. I can't see his right hand. >> Suspect down. >> On the porch. On the porch. >> Neighboring house. >> On August 13th, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. at Water, California, USA, officers attempted to stop a vehicle linked to a stolen property case. What seemed like a routine stop quickly felt uncertain. >> Kelso Street is a dead end of the court there. Stand by for a lake bill. All right, we got a lake bill. He's running westbound into Okay, we're over a fence. Now, he's going to be continuing westbound through the uh >> The driver, 36-year-old Korey Aunty, refused to stop and sped away, even firing toward patrol vehicles during the pursuit. The chase pushed through city streets, raising the risk with every second. >> STOP! STOP, POLICE! KOREY, STOP! STOP! >> THE PURSUIT ENDED WHEN AUNTY CRASHED and ran into an apartment complex. As officers followed, he turned while armed, forcing a critical response to stop the threat. In moments like this, everything happens at once. >> Stop! >> Put your hands out! Put your hands out. Hands out to your side. DO IT NOW. DO IT NOW. HANDS OUT TO YOUR SIDE. [screaming] >> WE ALL HAVE THEM TO THE SIDE NOW. >> Auntie was later found unresponsive at the scene, and the incident remains under investigation. As the noise fades, one thought lingers. A single decision can change the course of everything. >> Hey, stay with me. Stay You ran into something over there? What do you mean by that? >> On September 7th, 2023, at night, Rowan University, New Jersey, USA, an officer noticed a vehicle driving on the sidewalk and failing to stay in its lane. What started as a simple traffic stop already raised serious concerns. >> Right. So, like I said, reason for the stop is we're on the we're on the sidewalk right now. And uh also, you failed to maintain your lane right before you turned on the West Bee. So, I need your license, registration, proof of insurance. And why does nobody have a seatbelt on in this car? Ma'am, can you turn your car off for me, please? Thanks. So, my partner's going to have you exit the vehicle over there, okay? Cuz we got to run some tests to make sure you're okay to drive. Has anyone had any alcohol tonight? How are you? What's your name? Ma'am, you can stay. You can stay. >> The 19-year-old driver appeared nervous and gave unclear answers. Officers noticed a bottle and began field sobriety tests. As questions continued, the driver slowly admitted to drinking earlier. The atmosphere grew heavier with each response. >> Put your hands behind your back and I need you not move. You're under arrest. Ma'am, come here. You're under arrest, all right? So, you're under arrest for DUI, okay? >> 100. >> 68. >> Okay. >> I'm going to have to I'm going to pat you down real quick. >> During the tests, the driver struggled to follow simple instructions and showed clear signs of impairment. Officers made the decision to act, knowing the risk to others on the road was too high to ignore. >> All right, hop in there for me, all right? >> Can you make sure you Can I go and stuff for me? >> Yeah, we're going to get everything out of the car for you. I got your license and I got your uh uh lean back for me, okay? >> a scene. >> Yeah, we'll get everything for you. Lean back for me. >> Sorry. >> I don't want to bit bit All right, there you go. And you said there was Is your wallet in the car, too? >> Well, it's on my keys, yeah. >> Wallet's on your keys, okay. I ain't tied in the car. >> The driver was taken into custody for driving under the influence. As the situation settled, it leaves a quiet reminder. One poor choice behind the wheel can put many lives at risk. >> Keep your hands up, all right? Take You can go ahead and go to your right one. Sorry, it wasn't worth it. Where were you at? You have money and stuff on you? >> Um no, these times they're already >> No, it's on your license, though. Did you fall at all? >> No, I had a bruise on me by now. >> You're going to put your hands down. You can relax. You ran into Silver Ave? What do you mean by that? >> I was trying to find a natural I don't know if I don't even know if that kid was like Marcus. My friend got in a little accident. >> On April 11th, 2026, at approximately 9:38 a.m. in Manhattan, New York, USA, detectives Ryan Juffre and Anthony Monetta were standing near the mezzanine level of the subway lines when a witness rushed over with alarming information. Someone on the train platform was reportedly carrying a machete. A normal morning commute was suddenly turning into an emergency. >> 412 central. 412 central. Central, 412 central. Sir, stay here. Stay here. Drop it. Listen. Get on the ground, please. Get on the [ __ ] on the Get on the [ __ ] ground. Nobody wants to hurt you. We can talk about it. Get down. Get down. >> As officers moved toward the stairs, they found an injured civilian and then encountered 44-year-old Anthony Griffin holding the machete. Commands were given again and again asking him to drop it, but the tension only continued to rise. Sometimes people around the scene can only watch and hope things slow down. >> Put it down. PUT IT DOWN. PUT IT DOWN, PLEASE. SIR, put it down. Put it down. Put it down. Put it down. Yeah, I got you. I got you. >> Griffin moved across the platform while still holding the machete and later advanced. In only a few seconds, the atmosphere inside the station completely changed. The busy subway platform had become a place filled with uncertainty. >> Put it down. Put it down. PUT IT DOWN. >> OFFICERS SECURED the area and Griffin was taken into custody before being transported for medical care. Investigators later found that several civilians had already been affected earlier in the incident. Body-worn cameras from both detectives captured the event. The case became another reminder that fast responses can help protect many people in moments of crisis. >> Stop. Cuff him. Cuff him. Cuff him. >> On October 13th, 2022, at approximately 1:10 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Trooper Joseph Kilian noticed a black sport bike traveling without a license plate near Asher Avenue and Pine. What seemed like a simple traffic stop quickly became a high-speed pursuit through the city streets. >> 42 the wrong way to go. After having a good day. >> The rider accelerated rapidly and reached speeds close to 100 miles per hour while moving through several intersections. Red lights were ignored and the pursuit continued toward Interstate 630. In moments like this, the concern is no longer only about escape, but also everyone sharing the road. >> All right out here in South Lansing at speeds above >> [music] >> After stopping, the suspect later identified as Christopher Gaylor, attempted to leave on foot. Officers used electronic control devices during the detention and an unexpected fire incident occurred. Responding officers immediately grabbed extinguishers and moved in to help. Everything happened in only a few seconds. >> [laughter] >> Gaylor was transported for medical treatment and later faced multiple charges including fleeing, reckless driving, traffic violations, and vehicle registration issues. The case also revealed previous encounters with law enforcement. It became another reminder that one decision made in seconds can create consequences far beyond the original stop. >> [screaming] >> On December 20th, 2023, in West [music] Memphis, Arkansas, USA, state troopers were assisting a drug task force when officers spotted Mario Page, a man wanted on multiple felony warrants. What began as an operation to locate a suspect quickly turned into a dangerous pursuit. Page attempted to leave the area at extremely high speed. According to reports, the vehicle reached nearly 140 mph while moving through Interstate 40. Other drivers were also placed in a risky situation as officers tried to keep control of the pursuit. As troopers prepared for tactical intervention, the suspect suddenly braked and lost [music] control of the vehicle. The pursuit ended near an embankment off the highway. In only a few moments, a high-speed escape attempt became a harsh reminder of how quickly control can disappear. >> [screaming] >> Authorities later stated that Paige was the only person inside the vehicle. The incident closed the pursuit, but it also left behind an important message. Roads are unpredictable, and decisions made in seconds can carry consequences far beyond the moment itself. On March 1st, 2022, at approximately 3:33 a.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, Trooper Jacob Bird noticed a van entering Interstate 30 with no working tail lights. At first, it looked like a simple traffic stop during a quiet early morning patrol. >> Give me a moment, sir. On the cell 681 Zebra 681 681 ZVE What is the flight? Ship man. >> The van exited toward Guyer Springs Road, where officers initiated a stop, but the driver did not pull over and continued moving through an intersection despite the signal. Soon, additional troopers joined the pursuit as the vehicle kept trying to get away. What began as a minor violation was quickly becoming something much larger. During the pursuit, officers attempted [music] tactical maneuvers while objects were reportedly thrown from the vehicle. After the stop was completed, investigators located suspected narcotics and related items inside. In moments like this, people often realize that one decision can open the door to many unexpected consequences. >> The driver, Jason Burrows, and passenger, Lucas Belcher, were taken into custody and later faced multiple charges related to fleeing, controlled substances, and other violations. The case became another reminder that trying to escape a routine stop can sometimes create a much bigger problem than the original reason. On June 17th, 2026, during rush hour USA, authorities attempted to stop a driver later identified as Zachary Reed. The situation quickly escalated as he drove dangerously, even heading into oncoming traffic. As the pursuit continued, multiple collisions occurred, forcing officers to call off the chase to protect the public. [music] But, instead of ending there, Reed disappeared, triggering a large-scale search involving multiple agencies. The tension didn't fade, it only shifted. Days later, on June 22nd, 2026, officers located him again driving a different vehicle. When they attempted a high-risk stop, he chose to flee once more, immediately escalating the situation. In that moment, the choice to run again changed everything. The incident became the focus of intense investigation with dash cam footage capturing every second. As the events unfolded, one thought remains: running from responsibility often leads to even greater consequences. On July 7th, 2026, Van Buren, Arkansas, USA, a trooper noticed a driver without a seat belt and attempted a traffic stop. What began as a minor violation quickly turned into something far more serious. The driver, later identified as John Fletcher, accelerated and fled, ignoring multiple intersections and driving recklessly through city streets. Each turn increased the danger for everyone nearby. The pursuit ended when the vehicle veered off the road, struck a utility pole, and rolled onto its side. Responding officers quickly moved in and safely removed the driver through the sunroof. In that moment, control was finally regained. >> Hands up! >> Fletcher was taken for medical evaluation and later booked into custody. Additional property damage was discovered and he now faces multiple charges related to reckless driving and fleeing. When it's over, one message stands clear. Even a small decision can lead to serious consequences. On July 7th, 2026, at around 10:00 a.m., Arkansas, USA, a trooper spotted an unlicensed Infiniti speeding at 76 mph in a 60 zone. What started as a simple traffic stop quickly raised concern. When the trooper turned to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated, weaving through traffic, using turn lanes, and even the shoulder to pass others. Speeds climbed to nearly 130 mph, putting everyone nearby at risk. >> Thank you. Feel all over the I can't drive if you can. Catch us with two brakes. Coming up on 128, using the wrong lane. We're back We're back westbound. It's not beyond this rest area. >> The driver suddenly lost control near an intersection. As the trooper performed a tactical maneuver, the vehicle spun but continued briefly before veering off into a ditch. The driver then ran on foot, disappearing into a nearby field. Everything happened in a matter of seconds. >> We're out of the uh take your wrong way shoulder. 31 with the 80. 20 to 30 miles an and going >> 159 daily uh >> That's 128. He just uh brake checked and spinning out. >> They covered. Continuing these back roads. >> They got him. >> He didn't get up or or did he run in the ditch? >> Wrong way in the grass now. Driving in the shoulder. >> Holy >> Yeah, he's going to get over there. I think he's in the ditch. >> 10-4, okay. >> We're at Fairplace, he's bounded up there. >> We'll stay put until you get here and check everything out. Careful. Go back. Go back. >> Evidence at the scene helped identify him as Tamarian West. He was later brought in the same day and taken into custody facing a felony fleeing charge. When it all ends, one thought remains, running only makes the outcome heavier. >> Where do I GET TO? DON'T TRY TO DO ANYTHING STUPID. >> ON MARCH 7TH, 2026 AT around 11:15 p.m. in Gardena, California, USA, Los Angeles police responded to an incident at a convenience store on South Figueroa Street. What looked like a routine late-night call quickly turned tense. >> Block switches without the big size. >> And why do to need the police, sir? >> Yeah, we need I have a white lady up in there came in and went behind the counter. Came and took cigarettes, opened up smoking. They brought their dog in the dog have no leash on him. He's in the store trying to fight. He said this store is his store. This store belongs to him. >> What color clothing does he have on, sir? >> He has a pink shirt on. Pink shirt and a gray jean. >> And you said he's armed. Does he have any hand guns in his pocket? >> Yeah, yeah, he has a knife. He has a >> Inside the store, officers found 53-year-old Cynthia and Ivia Acres standing behind the counter. They repeatedly asked her to step back and cooperate hoping the situation could calm down. Sometimes people only need one moment to make a different choice. >> Listen. >> No, you listen. >> Turn around. Yeah. >> Okay. >> All right. >> You're Who is your authority? Who is >> Dude. >> Cuz it's me. >> Hey, um Can you just stay on her? >> The atmosphere changed when Acres moved toward a bag and reached for an object that looked like a handgun. Officers had only seconds to react as the pressure suddenly rose. Officers secured the scene and called for emergency assistance. Later, investigators confirmed the item was a pellet gun collected as evidence. No officers or bystanders were affected. The incident became a quiet reminder that appearances can sometimes lead people down very different paths. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired. >> NO ALCANCE. >> ON APRIL 20TH, 2026, at around 12:10 p.m. in Oxnard, California, USA, police received several reports about a man carrying a machete near Saviers Road and Pleasant Valley Road. The call quickly led officers to a restaurant where people were still inside. >> No se mueva, okay? No se mueva, por favor. No se mueva. No se mueva, le damos unas instrucciones.
