July 22nd, 2025 brought a tense situation in Los Angeles as officers tracked a suspect believed to be armed and connected to an assault with a deadly weapon. His erratic behavior and apparent taunting of officers turned an already serious situation into something far more unpredictable. Are they at all I know they they're alerted to the situation because this the suspect has now been on city streets, also on the the freeway. How how does that happen with with um the LAPD and then the CHP? Well, typically if he goes on the freeway, that uh the LAPD or sheriffs or whatever agency it might be involved would hand it off to CHP. They have more resources where they can kind of leapfrog ahead through the different patrol stations if the suspect In this area, we saw a few people on at that uh crosswalk right there. But again, when once these suspects, they start taking city streets and then Bruce, what is the other element now? Police are desperate to catch him, but this is just a very populated area. Yeah, he's in Santa Monica now, a heavy heavy pedestrian area uh and congested with vehicles. And he's driving all over the roadway. And so they've notified Santa Monica PD that they're in their area, that there is a pursuit going on. But at some point as the watch commander, you got to weigh what is the safety of the suspect, the officers, and the general uh public? >> Absolutely. I mean, we're talking about an epicenter of Los Angeles tourism right there. He was right at the boardwalk or the pier uh making a U-turn onto the curb around that box truck. It it makes you so concerned for those people, tourists and locals as well, right there at that intersection. He's going right back towards it. Do not go on the pier. I I was just going to say that that is not wise. Right there would be an unwise move. >> saw that within the last year in Newport Beach where a driver drove onto the Newport Beach Pier. It ended in gunshots and that suspect I believe was killed in that case. This guy has now come to a stop right here at the Santa Monica Pier uh the boardwalk where there is the amusement park, tourists all around. He's come to a stop. Something is throwing at the being thrown at the vehicle there. Or he's throwing something out with somebody. >> Jeez. I you saw Did you see all those people on the pier running for safety? Once you start seeing something like this He's getting out. >> This is a good sign. And he's got a dog. >> dog Wow. Bruce, he's he's getting out. Hands are up. Does not appear to be armed. This is perhaps the best outcome that we could see. Yeah, it really is. And >> Yeah, very much so. Yeah. Sorry, Colleen. No, I was just going to say This is the best outcome. The problem is is that he's kind of shielded by the car and those officers can't fully see him. It would have been better if he got on the ground and more in the middle of the intersection. Uh he had the dog there with him on the leash. He is spread out, likely listening to those commands. But thank goodness that dog is now free, likely doesn't know what to do. They're in Bruce, you know, earlier Colleen was talking about watch commanders with police departments. That's something that you have extensive experience with about when they would decide to pull back and clearly they did not do that. Yeah, as with any pursuit, there are certain things I as the watch commander need. The direction of travel, the speed, what is the reason >> dog doesn't look very vicious, but it does that change their their situation here? You see them coming out approaching the suspect um with a sort of, you know, taking safety Obviously right there you can see him with, you know, the shield. Yeah, very much so. Uh this case, it's a smaller dog. It's not a not a vicious dog. But if it were a vicious, very protective dog, that adds a whole 'nother layer. Do they have to use maybe less lethal to get the dog out of the problem? Or >> the little dog jumped back into the car. >> The dog did. He was right there in the passenger seat again. And doesn't want to come out of the car now. Uh frightening for that dog as well. They seem to be trained. I don't know on the back seat or the trunk of that car. Those two officers right there. Yeah, they want to check the trunk of that car. This will be interesting why they want to look there if there's any information they have associated with the trunk or, you know, they always do a full search of the vehicle. Right. Especially if the if he is you know, if if there is a prior assault that happened um with the deadly weapon. But I mean, it looks like looks like there's a car seat in the back seat. >> goodness. So again, this thankfully this came to a peaceful end. The suspect eventually surrendered near the Santa Monica Pier and was taken into custody without further incident. Officers confirmed he was being investigated in connection with assault with a deadly weapon.
