In the aftermath, the driver was ultimately allowed to leave the scene after being issued a citation related to the marijuana container and traffic violations.

August 5th, 2025 started as a minor traffic stop attempt along Interstate 4 in Florida when a pickup truck was flagged for simple violations.

What followed afterward left a lasting impression as the driver abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot, leaving behind a woman, an infant, and a loaded handgun inside the wrecked car. He was later apprehended and faced multiple charges, including fleeing child endangerment and weapons violations. Authorities focused heavily on the risk posed to those left behind. On January 15th, 2023, a late night speed check near Highway 85 clocked a vehicle moving far above the posted limit. Lieutenant B.

Shut up. >> The driver was ultimately taken into custody after the vehicle crashed and multiple occupants were secured at the scene. Investigators later confirmed he had several outstanding warrants and was found with marijuana stolen credit cards, identification cards, and fraudulent checks. Charges stacked up quickly with fleeing possession and fraud related offenses. September 24th, 2025 began with officers noticing something off about a semi-truck moving through Fontana with mismatched plates. When they attempted a stop, the driver chose to keep going, turning a massive vehicle into the center of a multi- agency response. >> Yeah, you were just saying something. I was um listening to our producer as we get ready for the 11 a.m. newscast again. You are watching a special edition [music] of Eyewitness News um at 11. But you were talking about the fuel. how these these I mean they are long haul the these vehicles are meant for long haul rides and um it they could have been completely full and we don't know exactly what is going on. I do feel I feel for the for the CHP who on the five and on the 91 trying to figure out is this driver going to go back onto the freeway and if they're trying to get ahead of it it's it's it's very complicated. 45. >> Yeah. And we're back in the same spot. If you've been with us for a while, then you've seen the semi turn onto Commonwealth before. And uh it won't it's not far from here. That spot where the semi drove by a surface street. I forget the name of that street, but it was in a residential area almost. And we had half a dozen people come out and try and get their attention and wave at them. Uh so it it's hard to believe that they were just out because of social media and knew he was heading in that direction. Uh, so we could see there's some people out on the street there. This could be the same spot we were at before. >> Boy. Oh, they want to get out or they want to grab something from that vehicle or put something on top. >> They grab something from the very top, I believe. >> Oh. Oh my goodness. We We never see this. That was a SWAT vehicle that just slammed into the semi on the side. Came out of nowhere. We didn't even see that vehicle. We hadn't known it was here. and they came in and just slammed into the side of that semi uh with their armored vehicle. So now you have two vehicles and they're both really heavy. I'm not sure. I've never seen it, but maybe they can do a pit maneuver with that armored vehicle. If the semi tries to make a turn at a slow enough rate of speed and they can get behind it and hit the rear, they can get it to spin out. There's no way with the center of gravity on it. >> Just looking at this is what I'm talking about about see how he reached out and he got back in. So that's what made me think, okay, this is no longer a person against their will. He is a participant. Now, I could be wrong. Clearly, he could have been coerced to do that. But something was on the roof of that vehicle that he very specifically reached out, got it, and that's that's when they took their shot is is when they tried to move him over. But now if Bruce is still around, you know, Bruce, that that gives the person in the cab of that truck an idea as to also >> what the police are thinking uh when they go that aggressively to try to get him to stop. Yeah, Philip, you know, I have actually never seen a ramming with a Bearcat like that before, but I think what they've determined is there is no way to stop this big red cab without I mean, you can't do a pit maneuver with a regular police car. So, having a bear is what they need. >> Here we go. Bruce, we're going to interrupt you and go back to Scott, though. >> Oh, they pinned them in. That's a that's an undercover vehicle. They're out of their cars. Their guns are going to be drawn. They have him pinned somewhat, but with a semi-tractor like that, if he puts it in reverse, he'll just push those vehicles behind him away. But right now, they've got him surrounded. The Bearecat pulled in front just moments ago or at Franklin and Beach Street in the Anaheim area. And at least for now, what we have is a standoff and we haven't seen the suspects try and drive that vehicle ever since the Bearecat pulled in front. Uh, but you see the under cover vehicles. There's three of them there. There's more Fontana PD. This is a caper. I'm sure they were on way back in Fontana. They know who this individual is. They're not going to let him get away. They're not going to let him make a run for it. I have um you know suspect that this is a hardened criminal. Uh they've been following and they want and they're going to take him into custody. And right now we just have a standoff. But look at all the Fontana PD officers and he's getting out. It looks like the door is opening right now. It's a critical moment. >> Scott, you may not be able to see it, but the passenger is also out hands up. >> Right. >> So that person on the other side is out right now. And then now is that okay? >> Now they're they're trying. >> The situation ended in Buena Park with both the driver and passenger taken into custody as investigators worked to understand their connection. Authorities later revealed both men had outstanding warrants tied to Grand Theft Auto while the driver was also wanted as an armed and dangerous parole. Additional charges were expected as the case developed. On August 3rd, 2012, a traffic stop in Eugene, Oregon, drew attention after a speeding motorcyclist was pursued by police. What followed during the stop would later become the focus of a legal battle. The case carried on long after the roadside encounter with Justin Wilkins filing a lawsuit against Captain Rob Edwards over the force used during the arrest. A jury ultimately ruled in Wilkins's favor, awarding damages and determining that his civil rights had been violated. The incident remained a point of discussion around police conduct and use of force. February 28th, 2023 saw Florida Highway Patrol troopers respond to a vehicle reported without a license plate on Interstate 95 when trooper Hudgen located the truck. The driver's behavior immediately signaled that this would not be a simple stop. 248 light traffic 7 miles per hour in the middle of >> 134 26 96.

Get out of the car now. >> No. Copies have your car. >> Yeah. The driver identified as Seth Potter was taken into custody after stopsticks disabled the vehicle and officers surrounded it. Investigators confirmed the truck was stolen and a firearm was found inside. Potter was arrested, read his rights, and booked on charges including possession of a stolen vehicle fleeing and weapons related offenses. On May 17th, 2024, deputies in Franklin County were already searching for Joshua Steppp following a violent break in tied to a previous domestic incident. When they finally spotted him, he chose to run rather than face arrest. I don't know what he's going to do here. took off from us and approach O going around motorcycle just lost his helmet green shirt first subject that's clear with the current location westbound from the firehouse And he's turning on St. Mary's Road towards Villa Ridge 45.

Why don't you guys go back around to Robertville Road St. Mary down there 23. Go ahead and disengage. Go ahead and disengage. >> Although he initially got away, Steppp was located 2 days later and taken into custody to face the consequences of both incidents. He was charged with multiple felonies, including burglary, domestic assault, and resisting arrest by fleeing. He was held without bond and later received a lengthy sentence. December 13th, 2023 turned serious in Montgomery County when officers attempted to stop a Nissan Maxima that suddenly struck a patrol vehicle and fled. The driver's actions quickly escalated into a dangerous situation involving multiple vehicles. back out towards you. >> I just got He just hit my He just hit my car. >> All right, somebody get on A and call it out. and a left on the phone at 14.
