On March 16th, 2024, officers in Bo, Wisconsin were warned that a maroon Chevy Trailblazer linked to a shooting in Illinois was speeding toward their city. When the vehicle finally appeared, what began as a crossstate alert instantly turned into a high-risk confrontation. He's found in Portland. He's found in Portland. about 35 minutes flight at Park Avenue. Park Avenue north. Think we got a boy squad with us. He sounds strong. He sounds strong. Yep. We just 1050 to the squad. Central and strong. We're wiping out. Hold. Hold trap. The driver of the Trailblazer was shot and pronounced dead at the scene after colliding with a patrol vehicle. Officers later explained that they feared for their lives when the suspect appeared to intentionally ram their vehicles. Reports confirmed that one officer suffered only a minor cut, but the emotional weight of the night ran far deeper. For law enforcement, it was another grim reminder of how quickly a traffic stop can turn into a fatal encounter. In the early morning hours of November 23rd, 2019, Atlanta police clocked a black Mercedes flying down Interstate 85. The driver had no intention of stopping, weaving through lanes like the city was his racetrack. When state troopers joined the pursuit near Lennox Road, it was clear this was no ordinary traffic stop and they were ready to end it. 587 Atlanta. Uh that vehicle struck the uh wall. He's going to be hit action. coming up to Pinx. Wouldn't show me 1080 without 570. All right. 85 north. >> 85 northbound. >> I need the air, please. Pit maneuver pit northbound. He's getting back in it. He's trying to get back in it. Uh coming up to North Druid Hills. Coming in for another pit. I got a vehicle on the way. believe 786 trying to set up for another pit. We're taking the exit for North Druid Hills. So, 86, take him. I believe he's setting up for a pit. >> 1050. We're trying to block him in right now. We got him up on the curve. Want to go quick? 24y old. >> Put your hands out the window unless you want to get shot. >> Get out of the car. Get out of the car. I got non-lethal. >> Lean right there. Lean right there. Spread your feet out. You got anything on me that's going to stick me? Is that a yes or a no? The driver, later identified as Omid Shik Sajadia, refused every order to exit his vehicle even after being boxed in. Troopers used a taser to finally subdue him, discovering he was under the influence of alcohol. Sajadier was charged with DUI, fleeing and attempting to elude, and reckless driving among other offenses. It was just afternoon on April 3rd, 2016 when a Grand View officer tried to pull over an SUV for a simple traffic violation near Missouri 150. But instead of stopping, the driver floored. 154. Stay alive. Got a roll over. Hey, show me your hands. The driver was thrown clear of the SUV and dash cam footage showed officers and bystanders rushing to his aid. A nearby nurse and her husband joined in to help before paramedics arrived. While police never confirmed the man's condition, the crash itself looked severe enough to change lives. It's a painful example of how refusing to stop can turn a minor violation into a near fatal mistake. On February the 2nd, 2024, in the quiet community of North Fond Duac, Wisconsin, Sergeant Bryce Luzern, conducted a routine nighttime traffic stop. The driver, later identified as 36-year-old Lawrence Drenan, was suspected of impairment and refused to comply with commands. Within seconds, the encounter turned volatile. Dispatchers soon relayed a chilling message. The suspect claimed to be armed and ready to use his weapon against police. Hello. >> Hey, what's going on? >> Not too much. I'm Sergeant Lazar, North Final Police Department. The reason I stopped you is you don't have any tail lights on. >> It's not automatic. >> Okay. Should be all good now.

That's all. >> I got them on now, right? >> Yeah, they're probably good now. I got to walk back there and check. But can you shut it off? Step out for me? >> No. >> Why not? >> Why am I stepping out? >> Cuz I believe you had something to drink tonight. How much have you had to drink tonight? >> Nothing. >> Nothing at all. >> Nothing. >> Okay. There's an open can of steel reserve behind your seat. >> Oh, yeah. That's for school. Okay.

Um, >> if they stop me, I have a gun in here. >> I'm sorry. What did you say? >> I am in a high-speed chase right now. Head north on 41. Um, not even a high speed chase, unless it's not stopping. I'm only going 65 miles an hour. But, um, if they stop me, let the cops know. If they stop me, I got a gun here. I'm going to start shooting. >> No, sir. I need you to not do that. Where is the gun now? >> It's to my left. >> What type of weapon do you have? >> I got uh I'm not going to tell you what kind of weapon it is. >> You're not going to tell me what kind of gun he said you have? No, but if they stop me, I will shoot them all to death. >> Sir, what's your first name? >> Warren. >> I'm sorry. >> Does it matter what my name is? I'm going to be dead. I'm almost out of gas. So, as soon as I start running out of gas, I'm going to flip this car. >> Okay, sir. I need you to not do that. Okay. >> Well, that's what I'm doing. So, >> please do not do that. Okay. Um, I only got about 10 miles left in the gas and then I'm flipping it. >> He's got no tail lights on. >> And what's your first name, sir? >> Lawrence. L A W R E N C E. >> Okay. What's your last name? Lawrence? >> Brennan. D R E N. >> Okay. And why do you why do you want to use the weapon? >> I'm not going back to jail. They'll have to kill me. I'll stab them. I'll shoot them. Let them know if I stop, have their guns drawn and get ready to fire a kill. >> Okay. I need you to not do that. >> No. I need you to tell them to be ready. >> Okay. >> Okay. No, I need you to not do that. Okay. We're not going to do that. >> No. No. I swear to God, as soon as I stop, I'm coming out this door. I'm shooting. Make sure they have their leis rounds in their guns because it's me or them. I'm not I'm not making it through this. >> Are you in the vehicle by yourself, Lawrence? >> Yep. Yes, I am. And as soon as I start running out of fuel, I'm going to flip it. >> Okay. I need you to stay on the line with me, Lawrence. Okay. >> No, you're not hanging up. >> See my car in front of me. There's no Did you lock my phone? >> Did you lock my phone? >> Did I lock your phone? >> I can't make any calls. >> No, we don't have access to do that, Lauren. >> I'm trying to say goodbye to my daughter. >> Okay. I need you to not do that, though. Okay. I need you just to cooperate and listen. >> AS SOON AS I COME OUT OF THIS CAR, AS SOON AS I COME OUT OF THIS CAR, I'M SHOOTING. >> LAWRENCE, I need you to not yell. Okay. >> Can you tell me where you are? >> Oh, they got me with the spike strip. I got to put this down. >> What are you doing? >> He got me with a spike strip. >> Okay, Lawrence, I need you to put the gun away. Okay. All right, here we go. >> Hey, man. Don't do it. Hey, >> PUT YOUR HANDS UP. PUT YOUR HANDS UP. >> LISTEN, we don't want to do that. >> Put it down. WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND? Put it down.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. >> Shots fired. >> Norah 145. Shots fired. Suspect is down. Can't see his hands. >> Hey, hold tight here. Hold tight. >> Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. >> Yep. The chase came to a sudden end along a frontage road in Wnebago County. When Drenan advanced toward officers while concealing his hands, Sergeant Luzernne fired his patrol rifle, fatally striking the suspect. No officers were injured and investigators later confirmed no firearm was recovered at the scene. The incident remains under review as an officer involved shooting case with findings turned over to the Wisconsin Department of Justice. By the afternoon of April 9th, 2024, a be on the lookout alert had gone out across the Atlanta metro area for a Dodge Durango tied to a homicide investigation. Officers from multiple jurisdictions responded after the suspect vehicle was spotted at a gas station along Forest Parkway. The driver fled instantly, pushing speeds past 120 mph and weaving through oncoming lanes. The pursuit soon involved both the Clayton County BAT unit and the Georgia State Patrol. Approaching Brown's road. Copy that. Bat 6 GSP is lead on the pursuit. We going to be Jonesboro Road, Northbound Pass and Cleveland Avenue. Speeds about 90 mph. Lane number two, medium traffic. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. 41 41 41 Stand by [screaming] hand. Hands over six. >> Hey, go that way. [screaming] Go that way. [screaming] >> Hands hands hands. >> [cheering] >> The chase came to an end near Jonesboro Road when the suspect lost control and crashed into a utility pole. He was later confirmed as the murder suspect linked to the earlier shooting in Atlanta. Authorities classified the event as a pursuit related fatality involving homicide, aggravated assault, and felony fleeing. On July 14th, 2024, a quiet Arkansas highway became the scene of a dangerous pursuit. Behind the wheel of a gray Kia Fort was Charles Odum, a registered level three sex offender with multiple warrants hanging over his head. When trooper Jonathan Bass tried to make contact, Odum's response wasn't cooperation. It was acceleration. That's the 27. We're moving towards the end of 98 mph. See moving over to the right kind of traffic issues. See, he's passing on the right. See you. called TV 21. He's getting back on the road. >> Head boxing, man. CAR. >> The chase came to an abrupt and decisive end after trooper Bass executed a hard pit maneuver, sending the Kia spinning to a halt. Odum was taken into custody without further resistance. His brief run from justice finally over. For someone already branded a level three sex offender, this reckless escape only cemented his path toward an even longer stay behind bars. On March 2nd, 2025, officers across Wisconsin were on alert for a reckless driver reported at nearly 140 mph. The vehicle Alexis tore across highways passing on medians and shoulders as troopers tried to catch up. At those speeds, even a small mistake could mean disaster. And moments later, the inevitable happened. Passing marker 64 marker 64 speed 120. Right lane approaching exit 65. >> 120. Right lane approaching. >> Vehicle lost control. 1050 into the right ditch. Multiple rolls. Vehicle lost control. 1050 into the right ditch. Multiple rolls. 1050 right on the right. B took the 1050. The driver identified as Bo was ejected from his vehicle after it flipped multiple times off US Highway 1815. Investigators found a debris field stretching hundreds of yards, confirming the sheer force of the crash. No other vehicles were struck, but Bo didn't survive. In the early morning hours of June 2020, the streets of France turned into a racetrack between two riders, one a police officer, the other, a motorcyclist who refused to stop. With traffic clogging the freeway and horns blaring, the officer weaved through cars on his own bike, chasing a suspect who seemed just as skilled, just as reckless. Every lane change, every near miss was a gamble at breakneck speed. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. The pursuit ended when the officer made contact with the fleeing motorcycle, sending the rider tumbling across the asphalt. The suspect was quickly arrested with a long list of charges. Miraculously, no one was seriously injured. Still, the footage shows the razor thin line between control and catastrophe when both rider and pursuer are pushing physics to its limit. On May 9th, 2023, a black GMC Yukon with the wrong plate drew the attention of an Arkansas State Trooper near Jonesboro. Behind the wheel was Timmy Lynn Davis and his reaction to those flashing lights. You know, have been a Brooklyn >> toward uh Sandborn on 463 headed toward Jonesboro. Still speeds about 70. He tried to pit. He couldn't do it. 16. Be careful. That's a heavy trailer. >> I wonder who that was. You came for somebody check on 16. He went in the ditch. 43 Jones where I'm here at Highland and CW Post. I have no hard cover for correction. I'm in MLK Highland. You got a crash. Got a crash. Take him out. >> Yo, 68 one. Go on Southwest Drive on West >> [ __ ] 16. Going to be approaching the intersection. Looks like he might be trying to get back on the interstate. He's about to hit the guard rail. It went through the guard rail across traffic into the housing complex. I mean, north of the interstate, we have eyes on the truck. >> Lost it when he went off the interstate. >> He's in the ditch over here, guys. He's in the ditch. He's uh he's out in mud. We are in the Wover Heights subdivision right now where police and a tow truck have found that truck that was involved. And you can see over my shoulder here, it's in this drainage ditch. >> After his arrest, Timmy Lynn Davis faced a lengthy list of charges and was later sentenced to 40 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. It was one of the most reckless cases they'd ever handled. And for Davis, it was the end of the road in more ways than one. March 14th, 2024. What started as a simple traffic stop in Espanola, New Mexico, quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation. A state police officer patrolling County Road 57 tried to stop a black twodoor Honda that had been reported stolen in the Ta area. Behind the wheel was Jeremiah Medina, a 31-year-old man from Espanola Valley with an active warrant and a long record of bad decisions. Approaching the mile post 3. Correction 4. Mile post 4 Z. We're about center city limits. Be advised they're passing mile 40 again. 4. 90 mph. town now. They already passed us vehicle stop Pull over 40 pit with successful again.

HE'S HIT. >> SHUT YOUR HANDS. >> Get back inside. >> There's two. >> There's two. There's two people. >> There's two people. >> Show me your hands. >> Show us your hands. >> There's two. The pursuit came to an end in Ranchos Dau where Medina opened fire at officers after a pit maneuver disabled his vehicle. Police returned fire, killing him at the scene. Investigators later confirmed Medina was wanted in connection with a motor vehicle shooting case from January and had a warrant for his arrest. For a man who'd been running from consequences for years, this was the final roadblock he couldn't escape. On June 9th, 2024, the afternoon sun hung low over Fort Smith as an Arkansas State Trooper locked onto a speeding motorcycle. What began as a simple traffic stop turned into a test of nerve at speeds that pushed beyond 130 mph. The rider, no helmet, no fear, darted through city streets like a ghost no one could catch. With each turn, each flash of asphalt, the tension between chase and chaos grew thicker. Traffic traffic right now. Going through a red light coming up to Garrison North through Garrison North. That's north J. John 400. No traffic. No one's walking. We're coming up to North again. North six again. Thank you. >> It out it back up behind it. >> Get out. Hey, get down. >> Oh, look at this. Oh, >> because of that. Because of that meter. That's it. At the moment, you know what I do with that? I throw that on the ground and stomp on it. >> Oh, okay. >> When I got it, I didn't. Yeah. >> By the time officers boxed him in behind the county jail, the rider was bloodied but alive. Identified only through his passport, the man faced charges of fleeing by vehicle reckless driving and numerous traffic violations. The trooper's own car smoked from the final impact, a reminder of how dangerous motorcycle pursuits can be. Every second of that chase could have ended differently, and none of it was worth the risk he took. Traffic was moving steady through Craighead County on October 3rd, 2024 until a tan SUV ripped past, doing 90 in a 60-mile zone. Corporal Todd Harris spun around and hit his siren only to watch the driver push even harder. A choice that would set off one of the most intense pursuits of the fall. >> Look behind you. He's far towards you. Get him with that charger in before we get to Arkansas. Jonesboro secondary 42 I'll call it driving in oncoming traffic. Roll over. Start this thing. Roll start. >> Grass on the ground. >> When it was over, Rashun Demon, Gary was treated for minor injuries before being booked into the Craig Head County Detention Center. He now faces felony fleeing and seconddegree battery with a $75,000 cashonly bond, keeping him behind bars. Trooper Drum, who sustained facial cuts during the crash, was released from the hospital later that day. The incident left no fatalities, but plenty of reminders about the thin line between control and catastrophe. It was late in the evening on June 22nd, 2024 when Trooper Wright wrapped up a traffic stop along Interstate 40, only to hear the chaos unfold over the radio. West Memphis officers were in hot pursuit of a gray Dodge Caravan flying eastbound, its Mississippi tags flashing by at tripledigit speeds. Within seconds, Wright slammed on his lights, joined the chase, and the quiet Arkansas night turned into a blur of sirens and danger. that they have. They haven't given out. >> All right, I'll deal with them. >> D23. TV. >> The driver was identified as Theon Rashad Loveberry, who miraculously survived after falling out of his own vehicle while it was still traveling over 70 mph. He was transported to Regional One Hospital for treatment before being booked on multiple charges, including fleeing in a motor vehicle, reckless driving, and resisting arrest. Sometimes, the pavement teaches lessons no courtroom ever could. Late on the night of March 22nd, 2022, a Florence County Sheriff's deputy attempted a traffic stop on a Dodge Ram pickup traveling north on Interstate 95. The driver appeared cooperative at first until the passenger suddenly slid behind the wheel and sped away. Deputies pursued the truck as it exited the interstate at high speed, leading them toward the TV road interchange. Within moments, the chase took a tragic turn. You hang out. Hang out right up here for me. Okay. >> Can I get my phone? >> No, just hang out right up here for me. Okay. >> All right. >> Uh marijuana in the car. We got another gentleman up front up here. Go ahead and get him out. >> David, David, David, David, David. 10. >> 166. I got uh one of my units out on foot with the female at the 166 northbound. Can you get a patrol here? 45 seconds left. 69.

Okay, >> it >> I'm good with that, but I hate that happening. >> Yeah, I mean I Nobody don't want that to happen, but >> I mean he did it on his own, but it was like no reason for him to do that at all. None. >> He could have pulled over, got out and ran, done whatever he wanted to do. It's like he when he right there, he was out trying to kill himself. And >> that's the only way you can explain what he did. Yeah. I I mean what he did there's I mean there's no reasonable explanation to why you would do that unless you just try and hurt them. >> The fleeing driver lost control and collided with the rear of a tractor trailer at the exit ramp resulting in a fatal crash. No deputies were injured and there was no contact between law enforcement vehicles and the suspect's truck. The South Carolina Highway Patrol's multidisciplinary accident investigation team later took over the case pending identification of the deceased driver. Investigators noted potential charges would have included reckless driving, failure to stop for blue lights, and endangering the public. Just before 7 p.m. on April 8th, 2024, a white Land Rover connected to multiple crimes sped through Kent County, Michigan. Deputies were already on high alert after the driver fled from police in Holland. When the chase reached the county line, officers braced for another attempt to stop the suspect, but no one that evening could have predicted just how quickly this pursuit would turn from tense to devastating. >> Traffic traffic's light. We're coming up to red light. He's slowing down for it. >> He's coming to a full stop at the red light at eastern. Looks like we're going to be going northbound. Copy. Turn northbound. K9. >> He is northbound in the southbound of the eastern. Let me see if he corrects here in a second. Now, we're going to the red lighted division. He's coming to a full stop. He's going to be turning northbound. >> Copy. North. >> Bailing out. Bailing out. >> Copy. Bailing out. Can I get permission from 4042 to start that way? >> In the aftermath, it was revealed that the passenger struck and killed during the pursuit was 20some Riley Dogget. The deputy behind the wheel, Josiah McMains was not charged after investigators determined the death to be accidental, though many disagreed with that decision. Dogget's family and the community called for accountability, arguing that no one should lose their life in this way. The debate over where pursuit tactics cross the line still echoes throughout Kent County today. Just afternoon on December 26th, 2023, a red sedan fled a routine traffic stop at 10 Mile and Ryan Roads in Warren, Michigan. Dash cam video captured officers weaving through city streets as the driver ignored light signs and every signal to stop. The pursuit wound through neighborhoods, yards, and intersections before ending in tragedy. >> Okay. All right. What I got to have you do is just hop off on me real quick, man. Cuz you don't have any license on you. Okay. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Still lot and he's 1050 into the grass north. He's in the grass. Jumping back down north. Center line's blocking.

He's underneath the box truck. >> Airbags deployed. Let's shut this intersection down. >> In the end, the driver ran a red light and struck both a Ford F-150 and a Penske truck. The driver, the sole occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported, though firefighters found a handgun on the floorboard. The case remains under investigation with potential charges listed as fleeing and eluding, reckless operation, and firearm possession. On December 16th, 2021, during evening patrol on GA13, Georgia State Trooper Aonte Goaut noticed a silver Honda Civic drifting across lanes the driver's attention fixed on his phone instead of the road. What should have been a simple texting while driving stop took a sharp turn the moment blue lights came on. The driver hit the accelerator and turned a minor violation into a major incident that would spiral far beyond traffic court. passing armor. >> Right shoulder, heavy traffic.

Investigators recovered narcotics cash and a firearm from the car. Macdonald was charged with felony fleeing, drug possession with intent to distribute, and resisting arrest. His passenger was released without charges, and the Honda was impounded as evidence. On February 18th, 2022, an 18-year-old driver called 911 in panic. His accelerator was stuck, his brakes wouldn't respond, and his car was speeding out of control. Dispatchers could hear the fear in his voice as the silver Toyota Camry circled the loop at nearly 90 mph. Police units scrambled to clear the roads ahead, trying to contain what was fast becoming a runaway missile on four wheels. >> Failing to move over trying to be Good night. They're just trying to slow down. It's where you The Camry eventually crashed into a patrol car near North Loop 289 before rolling into a nearby field. Nicholas Merritt Volos and another driver were treated for minor injuries and no one else was seriously hurt. Investigators later determined the mechanical failure may have played a role, though speed and stress made it worse. A rare case where the driver wasn't running from the police, but from the car itself. On November 26th, 2021, a Santa Fe County deputy found himself chasing suspects wanted for an armed robbery that had just unfolded at a local Starbucks. What began as a simple drive-thru transaction quickly escalated when the woman in the driver's seat allegedly pointed a gun at employees and demanded cash. Moments later, deputies and state police joined forces as [music] the suspect vehicle fled at high speed. Two, shots fired. Shots fired. Subject just shot at me. Shots fired. Shots fired.

The driver, Jacob Mononttoya, surrendered to police while passenger Christy Dimus was found deceased in the back seat. Mononttoya later plead guilty to a reduced charge and received a total sentence of 8 years in prison for his role in the chase. Charges included aggravated fleeing and possession of a firearm by a felon. His sentence runs concurrently with time already being served in another case. Shortly before 1:00 a.m. on September 30th, 2022, a Georgia State Patrol trooper spotted a white Jeep Grand Cherokee racing northbound on Interstate 85 in Atlanta. The driver ignored traffic laws weaving through lanes at speeds exceeding 100 mph. When the trooper activated his lights and siren, the Jeep accelerated even faster, crossing Gore areas and nearly colliding with other vehicles. What followed was a high risk pursuit through the heart of Atlanta that tested every decision officers had to make in seconds. All right, we're coming up to 38. Oh, he's going to get back on. going to consult. Continue. Looks like we're going to be exiting it. Exiting 81. We got one push right there. Good one. Come on. Come on. I'm coming around. Quick on real quick. Clear. Where you going? Boulevard. The chase ended when Sergeant Tarpley executed a pit maneuver, sending the jeep off the road and into a fiery crash. Two occupants, later identified as Brick Dunn and a Marian Clott, were pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger, Montavius Lovejoy, was hospitalized with a prior gunshot wound. A broken AR-15 rifle was recovered near the wreckage. In the early hours of October 2nd, 2022, quiet streets in St. Petersburg, Florida, turned into the scene of a reckless joy ride. A stolen 2016 Maserati carrying three teenagers who had slipped out of their homes that night tore through the neighborhood with no headlights and no sense of consequence. What began as a police helicopter noticing suspicious movement would soon escalate into a horrifying moment of chaos and loss that no one could have predicted. >> Sorry, they uh the car is moving now. >> They're driving across the street now. Yeah. >> All right. They're uh eastbound uh just past 25th Street. >> All right. Underneath the interstate and uh cars blacked out. [bell] Uh >> approaching 22nd Street.

Uh I know we're on Bravo. See if we can get some of these. Oh, and he's going to lose it right here. He crashed. He's crashing. Uh 62nd and it's going to be just shy of 10th Street on the south side of the road. >> Okay. Eagle. No one's got out of the car. Should be three of them. Let's get FD rolling. Pretty bad crash. >> Plenty of copies. Request. When the dust settled, the stolen Maserati lay upside down and mangled beneath a shattered business sign. One of the young passengers, 15-year-old Mario Banilla, was gone. While the driver, Kyandrich Lang, and another teen, Malachi Daniels, were rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. Investigators later found a decades old handgun inside the wreckage. And Lang, the unlicensed driver, now faces charges, including thirdderee felony murder and grand theft auto, among others. A devastating reminder that one impulsive decision can change or end multiple lives in seconds. It was August 18th, 2024 when multiple 911 callers warned of a silver Lexus weaving dangerously through traffic on Interstate 40. Witnesses said it was moving faster than anything else on the road over 100 mph and gaining. Troopers from Troop J raced to intercept as the driver pushed east through heavy midday traffic. What they encountered next was a test of both patience and physics. Anybody get some spark just now? 11. Where you at? 78. Eastbound or westbound? You want to set up here at 78 26 approaching at 57 the exit speed 30 traffic. Aware out. Ruck out. Roll over. Center 1016. He's in the eastbound lane. Correction. Westbound lane. Go ahead. You move. He rolled over in the westbound lane. Mama's trapped. He's in trap. The chase ended violently near the 67mi marker when the Lexus lost control, rolling roughly 15 times before coming to rest upside down. The driver identified as 23-year-old Kendall Jourett was ejected 30 yards from the wreck and suffered severe injuries. He was airlifted to a hospital in stable condition. Inside the vehicle, troopers found marijuana paraphernalia and other controlled substances. Jet now faces multiple charges including felony fleeing, possession of a controlled substance, and reckless driving. Saturday, August 6th, 2022. A deputy from Foresight County spots a silver Ford Fusion cruising south on Georgia 400. The car matches a bolo from Dawson County. Four women suspected of shoplifting. The deputy hits the lights expecting a routine stop, but the quiet moment on the shoulder turns deceptive. And when the PA orders go ignored, the Fusion suddenly bolts. 10. >> Let Dawson know I have him stopped. We're southbound is 413 occup four times. Driver, get out of the car. You ready? They're taking off on me. Going southbound. 2150. You got charges on the pit. >> All four women, Bernaldia Stevens, Desanna Herd, Jasmine Kanty, and Marquita Thomas were eventually arrested after a clean pit maneuver brought the chase to an end. Stevens faced reckless driving, fleeing or attempting to elude, and possession of marijuana. Thomas was charged with forgery in the second degree and the others were handed over on their own warrants. What began as petty theft ended in flashing blue lights and lost freedom. On January 8th, 2022, what looked like an ordinary traffic stop on Interstate 10 turned into something far bigger. When a black Infinity blew past three troopers with lights already flashing, trooper Wesley Dixon moved to pull it over. The driver's strange behavior speeding up, slowing down, even covering the window made no sense at first. Then the call came in that car was wanted in connection with a homicide out of Orlando. >> 194 is on the shoulders. Alex is south. Thought you Okay. >> [screaming] >> In the end, the driver, Steven Spencer Clary, was taken into custody and charged with fleeing and eluding reckless driving and held for homicide investigators from Orlando. For Trooper Dixon, it was a routine patrol that spiraled into a manhunt in minutes. A perfect example of how quickly everything can change on the road. On July 19th, 2023, just after 8:25 p.m., a Michigan State Police trooper initiated a traffic stop in Niles for what appeared to be a minor equipment violation. The driver of a Red Kia, later identified as 32-year-old Joshua Ringle of South Bend, had a warrant for assault. When the trooper attempted to make the arrest, Ringle resisted and fought back, turning a simple stop into a violent confrontation. >> Hey, can you hop on out for me real quick? I want to talk to you. >> All right, go put your hands behind your back for me. Okay. >> You got a warrant for your arrest? >> For what? >> For simple assault. Put your hand behind your back. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not no I'll take it all the way there. I'm not going. >> I only got one fighting. >> I'm not I'm telling you right now, dude. I'm telling you. Stop. >> I'm not going for what I'm talking >> assault. Get out of the crowd. Go around. HI. Get out OF THE CAR NOW. GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> Get out of the car. >> Drop the [ __ ] gun. DROP THE [ __ ] GUN RIGHT NOW. DROP IT. DROP THE GUN. There speed. loser. Fire window. Over my Are you guys still up there? No way. Away. Please pull up. That thing the west coming up Go. >> The pursuit continued into Southbend where Ringle struck a police cruiser deploying stopsticks before fleeing on foot toward the St. Joseph River. Multiple agencies joined the search using drones K9 units and a SWAT team. Ringle was later found deceased at the bottom of an embankment near the river. One officer sustained minor injuries but was expected to recover. Authorities listed the investigation as an officer involved shooting with charges pending review for assault, resisting arrest and unlawful flight from law enforcement. October 5th, 2025 turned tense for Arkansas State Police troopers monitoring US 412 when a white Honda CBR600 raced past at nearly 100 mph. Attempts to stop the motorcycle only fueled the rers's escape. As speeds climbed to 140, [music] he darted through red lights, rode into oncoming lanes, and blasted through busy intersections, even near a park full of pedestrians. It became a pursuit defined by inches and instincts. He missed the turn and we're 244. We copy Edward like Turn around coming back up to Lake View. If you can cut him off up there in that intersection, hold it. >> He's down. He's down. When the dust settled, the writer identified as 23-year-old Jimmy Townsen suffered serious injuries and was transported for medical treatment before being booked into jail. He faces numerous charges, including felony fleeing, reckless driving, and failure to yield to emergency signals. The case underscored just how quickly a moment of defiance can spiral [music] into disaster. The Florida sun was shining bright on March 22nd, 2024 when a Troop C patrol car spotted something that didn't fit the picture. A white Honda SUV barreling down the highway with its high beams flashing and wipers flailing despite crystalclear skies. To the Florida Highway Patrol trooper behind the wheel, the erratic behavior could only mean one thing. The driver wasn't sober. on worker 314. worker 314 conditions at this time traffic northbound on the southbound She's 48. He's finally Pit the vehicle. Vehicle. Pit the vehicle. Geles over. We're getting at 51. >> Show me your hands. Show me your hands. >> 26 on the first. Can you get a ser 5151 as well? >> 481 65 165 >> seats >> tractor supply. >> Come on. >> Okay. >> Have a seat >> tomorrow. >> Right now. >> Why man? It's so dirty in here. Turn around and you get back in. That's cool. Yeah, man. >> Put your feet in. Put your feet in. >> I like indigo. >> Put your feet in. >> I like indigo every day. >> Oh yeah. The young driver exhibited clear signs of impairment and later failed a breath test. [music] He was booked into the Sumpter County Jail for driving under the influence, reckless driving, and fleeing to elude. The trooper's quick response likely prevented a tragedy proof that even daylight can hide danger when someone decides to drive drunk. April 10th, 2020 began like any other morning in Sebastian County until a black pickup tore through intersections at reckless speeds, ignoring every red light in its path. Deputies and a Forest Service ranger moved in, but the chase quickly pushed beyond local limits. The driver, later identified as 34year-old Justin Battenfield, showed no regard for the lives around him as traffic thinned and danger escalated. By the time Arkansas State Police joined the pursuit, the situation had already reached a breaking point. Anything on traffic? Get over there. I don't care. >> Go ahead and start EMS. Okay, he's got him stopped and then going ahead and start EMS. We crashed out here. >> The chase came to an end on Zero Street when a pit maneuver sent both vehicles off the road and into a ditch. Batenfield's truck overturned after hitting a culvert, leaving him fatally injured. The trooper suffered serious injuries but survived. Investigators later ruled the crash as the result of felony fleeing, reckless driving, and endangering the public. The incident remains one of the most analyzed pursuits in Arkansas State Police history. This case wasn't about a high-speed chase. It was about a cover up. On New Year's Eve 2022, officer Joel Ludowitz of the Sock Prairie Police Department called 911 to report his personal car stolen. Hours later, that same vehicle was found crashed and abandoned with him standing right next to it. And you won't believe what happened next. >> I'm a professional walker in town and I I noticed that down there 71 71 sock. I'm on scene. I'm going have to go down the other side. No. Um, you can go down there and walk up the trail, but it's icy. >> 911. What's the address of the emergency? >> Okay. Tell me exactly what happened. >> Um, my vehicle's gone. Somebody took my car. >> Like stolen? >> Like stole my car? Yeah. >> Okay. Um, are you at home right now? >> Um, I am, but I'm on my way to work. Um, so if I can meet the deputy at my work. I'm a police officer at Cbury Police Department. Oh my god, there's nobody in it. 71 sock just for 43. There's nobody in the vehicle. >> All right, copy. Direct. We're going to continue on till we get a surf to the area. >> Damn it. >> Is there blood in there? >> There's blood on the side of that door. >> I don't see somebody's got to beed up from this cuz this fire location investigating. We'll have a plan. I'll have to call you back. >> I want more people to search. >> Joel's car was stolen and it's laying down off the 60 bridge. So, yeah, it's total. So, I don't know. I don't know what the going on here. A lot of [ __ ] heading up. So, um yeah. So, yeah, there's a lot of Do you know what time he got home last night? Okay. Cuz he's on Ashley's all upset cuz the stays between you and I. Um, he didn't get home till 107. No car. Yeah. So, I don't know if he crashed thiser after he dropped you off. I I don't I don't know cuz like I said, I called him multiple times this morning. Maybe he answered the phone. Yeah, he came about 6:30. He came on. He said his car stolen and so yeah, I think when he dropped you off, he was probably drunk and he fell asleep. And I don't see injuries on him, but he should have injuries the way this car looks. This car, this car is total. It's on the walking path underneath the 60 bridge that went through the guard rail. So, so I will talk to you later. I'm I don't know what to think at this point. >> They had to come up fast. Why is there blood on the driver's side then? There's blood on that driver's side door. Unless there was a passenger cuz the way this is looks like they >> reef the door open. >> Yeah, right. I had to wrench the door open here for a sec. >> I'm not going to be a dick, but I'm going to tell you this. Okay. Yeah. >> Did you wipe blood off the driver's side door >> just now? >> Yeah. >> I went over there and I checked the door. >> Okay. Cuz there's blood on the driver's side door. Okay. Do not me on this. >> Oh my god. Paul, >> just calm down. I'm I'm only saying this because >> [ __ ] ain't adding up. Ashley called me. >> She said you got home about 107. >> It was not 107. I already told her that. There's no way. Paul, stop. This is not me. Oh my god. >> We're not having this conversation, dude. Well, I just want to make sure [music] that it's not >> I was with you for sakes last night, >> dude. Calm down. >> Calm down. >> I'm just making sure because I just don't want you to get in trouble if it was you. >> Oh my god. >> Okay, >> I was with you last night. >> I know that. But >> and we weren't drunk. >> I know. >> Jesus Christ, bro. >> We are going to have a conversation after this is done because there's a lot of [ __ ] that isn't that. So, and then >> Oh my god. >> Don't get pissed at Don't get pissed at me, Dad. You got to You got to look at it how I see it, though. >> I left last night and my girlfriend No, I'll get a ride home. You gave my girlfriend a ride home >> and your car's crashed and she only went so many blocks away. You got to see where I'm seeing it from. >> First, okay, now listen to me. >> There was blood on the side of that car and now it's wiped off. >> So, now I got to explain that away. inside. >> Yes. >> You You got to see it from my standpoint, too, dude. Okay. >> Yeah. >> VFW. >> I'm I'm just saying >> the fact that we're having a side conversation isn't like >> Okay. Well, and I gave her a ride to walk already. Investigators later discovered that officer Ludovitz had been drinking and tried to conceal his involvement in the crash. He was charged with obstructing an officer and placed in an 18-month deferred prosecution program. Both Ludovitz and Officer Duman resigned shortly after. What do you think were those charges fair for an officer who tried to hide the truth? [music] Or should the consequences have gone further? On February 2nd, 2023, a Georgia state trooper sits parked near Interstate 95, watching the steady rhythm of traffic. But one old white Honda catches his attention. A license plate hit confirms it's stolen out of North Carolina. Before the trooper can even step out, the driver takes off, pushing the limits of his luck and his suspension. at 17. How you're the night. It's got good cover right now. Hands up. Hands up. Keep them up. Keep them up. Keep them up. Keep them up. Don't move. When the dust settled, the driver was identified as Charles Milsaps, a Florida man with a parole warrant out of South Carolina and a suspended license. He was taken to Memorial Hospital for evaluation before being booked into jail. Milsaps told troopers he thought the owner wouldn't report it. Safe to say that assumption didn't age well. August 16th, 2019, a morning commute in Wisconsin turns into a highway horror show. Drivers on Interstate 41 watched in disbelief as a pickup truck came barreling toward them in the wrong direction. At the wheel was Jonathan Tease, a man so impaired and reckless that deputies could only hope to stop him before someone died. How do you follow green? Coming up, if you can slow it down right here, you can try 172 to 483 north. Copy 172 to 43 north. 43 telephone in the north lane. got to copy to me as well. 135. >> Tease was eventually captured after crashing through traffic and running into a nearby business. Deputies had to deploy a taser to subdue him. He faced a long list of charges, including two counts of secondderee recklessly endangering safety, fleeing an officer, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Investigators later confirmed he was under the influence of drugs. For those who saw that truck coming head-on, it's a miracle the day didn't end in tragedy. It was just past noon on April 7th, 2025, when an Arkansas State trooper noticed a silver Nissan Alultima with a cracked windshield coasting past his position. The driver seemed calm, almost too calm. But when the trooper flipped on his lights, that calm vanished in an instant. The Alima darted down a side road, and a quiet traffic stop turned into a highstakes pursuit. He's taking off. Take it off. Take it off. Take it off. 25 more. 1037. 1037. We're headed back northbound for 335. Driving left to center with reach stop. We are going northbound on 335 toward Highway 7. 25. If you can get on top of him, try to go a TBI. Get in a good spot. He's trying to flip around. Flipping around northbound. Flip around southbound. Flip around southbound. >> TVI. TBI. TVI. >> Get back here. >> Kareem Malik Bolton. The driver was arrested after a precise pit maneuver disabled his vehicle. Inside the car, 6 ounces of marijuana, open bottles of whiskey, nearly $2,000 in cash, and an active warrant from the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Another fugitive who learned the hard way that running only makes the impact worse. And just like that, another pursuit ends. But the chaos doesn't stop here. Make sure to check out the next video to see what happens when another suspect takes things even further. Trust me, it's one you don't want to miss.
