October 15th, 2023, around 2:00 a.m. saw a small Toyota trying to play in the big leagues of evasive driving. The driver decided that traffic laws were merely suggestions and began a frantic dance through the dark, empty streets. This late night joy ride quickly escalated as the driver took the little sedan off road to avoid the inevitable flashing lights. Now he's traveling off the road. I don't know if he I'm not with a 25. Somebody got firework now. Keep going back. Keep going back. [screaming] [screaming] We're going right through. >> [screaming] >> The little car that could eventually met its match. When the law finally brought the curtain down on this performance, officers assessed the suspect for impairment after his vehicle finally succumbed to the mounting damage. It seems his dream of being a getaway driver ended with a very expensive tow bill and a new set of heavy metal jewelry. The morning of August 23rd, 2022 started with a terrifying carjacking that spiraled into a multi-county crime spree just after 7:00 a.m. Brandon J. Baker allegedly upgraded from a stolen Nissan Maxima to a massive box truck after a series of brazen confrontations in Tampa. He then decided the wrong side of Interstate 75 was the perfect place to test the limits of heavy machinery. Speed are about [music] 60 mph. >> ASO unit 2300 Archer northbound into the new Butler Plaza Northbound 37 Boulevard. Okay, locks him in. That's a perfect opportunity in that. >> Hey, pulling into the best spot. >> All right, he's running off. All right, we're back on Archer Road. I am now the lead vehicle. >> Oh, signal 4 into a ASO K9 facility eastbound place. >> Hey, you good on this car? All right, we are at 35th Boulevard. Still eastbound, wrong side of the road. Trying to get up to a pit. Signal four and wrong way of traffic. Wrong. Wrong lane travel passilly. Continuing on. >> All right, we're still continuing northbound passing the metro. Everybody hold the traffic for a second so we can call it. We're through the parking lot. We're about to come out of 34th Street. Take this again. Coming back out on the 34th Street. Going back. Southbound 34. [screaming] Mr. Baker eventually traded his stolen driver's seat for a permanent spot in the Elatchua County Jail. He now faces a laundry list of felonies, including kidnapping and armed carjacking, that will keep him off the road for a very long time. Perhaps his next career move should involve something far less mobile than a delivery vehicle. June 12th, 2025, at approximately 12:32 a.m. began with a simple defective tag light that Michael Dorsy decided was worth a triple-digit flight. What should have been a routine traffic stop on Interstate 49 quickly turned into a high velocity dash reaching 140 mph. The Cadillac driver swerved through traffic with absolutely no regard for the lives of those sharing the pavement. They're going to try to get green out there. TVI am TVI AM >> he's on the wrong way we're still uh we are getting back on northbound 7 >> I don't understand what you said >> nobody cares Holding down 497. All 69 tires going flat. Tires going south. Sorry about that. your hands After the dust settled, Michael Dorsey attempted to blame his high-speed antics on a suspiciously convenient stuck gas pedal. Doctors found absolutely nothing wrong with him, despite his loud claims of injury during the final moments of his arrest. He is now scheduled for a court appearance to explain his need for speed to a much less impressed judge. Around 5:50 p.m. on August 9th, 2023, Manuel Ramirez decided to take a stolen utility vehicle on a tour of Los Angeles it was never designed for. The evening commute was interrupted by reports of a reckless driver turning a heavy white sport utility vehicle into a mobile weapon. He eventually found himself trapped in a narrow driveway with nowhere left to run. >> 16x36 is in pursuit of the vehicle suspect approaching San Fernando 166 freeway approaching Penrose. Turn around. Turn around. freeway. Go down. It's going to take you over the fire freeway. You're going to have back on the other way. Officer's coming off that left. Your next right. Your next right. He went to this parking lot. >> Next right. Follow it up. >> I have a vehicle. >> Hold on. He turned around. He turned around. He's going to be making your way off that ramp. He's going to be facing your way. Officer coming off that ramp. He's facing your way. >> Continue to move the vehicle. Looks like he's reversing. to turn the vehicle. >> Get that dude out. >> Suspect of the vehicle reversing. is ramming the ramific. [laughter] is ramming the police carb onward the police car is ramming the police carb. >> Hey, get out the Hey, get on the ground. Shut fire. SD fire. Get on the ground. Hey. Hey. Down the [ __ ] Hey, hands up. Hands up. Hands up. >> Hey, grab some less lethal now. Grabs. Hey, Frasier. Frasier, give me eye cover. One shooter, one. >> The suspect's afternoon of destruction ended with a visit from a special weapons and tactics team. While Ramirez survived his injuries to face assault charges, the city is left tallying the cost of multiple smashed police cruisers. His bail was set at $152,000. That is quite a high price for a very poorly executed escape plan. On a dark evening when most people were winding down, trooper of the year Austin Duncan Flemister was just getting started. A silver vehicle decided to test the limits of physics by pushing the speedometer well past 120 mph on the open highway. The driver seemingly thought they could outrun the radio waves and the highly decorated officer behind them. We're at 142 coming up on 18. I got time for TV 118 coming up there. We're going to go over 120 on >> 91. CDR out >> getting back in. >> CVR recovered. >> Continue. >> Still eastbound. >> Description speed2 drop down. We have 30. >> Don't you do that? What are you? We're going to be right before the 121 speed 01 passing on the shoulder. Speeds are 115 going under the go over test. Uh station TVI right now Burlington TVI Burlington roll over. Roll over. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Go. The driver's attempt at a high-speed disappearing act ended with a very unceremonious trip into the dirt. Despite a brief and poorly advised attempt to resist the inevitable, the suspect was quickly introduced to the pavement and a pair of handcuffs, one can only imagine the difficult conversation he had explaining how he lost a race to a man with trooper of the year on his resume. A former professional athlete decided to trade his jersey for a getaway car during a daylight robbery at a cell phone store. Quaneras Smith, once a defensive end for the Denver Broncos, allegedly decided that stealing iPhones at gunpoint was his next big career play. His athletic prowess was put to a different kind of test as he sped away from the Douglas County deputies. Thanks. >> Get on the ground. The former fifthround draft pick was ultimately denied bond after his highlight reel ended in a mangled wreck nearby. Recovering a black handgun at the scene suggests this was one game where the stakes were far higher than a championship ring. Smith's transition from the National Football League to the county jail system has been a remarkably rapid descent. July 27th, 2022 witnessed two men attempting to cool off by walking out of a Lowe's store with an air conditioner they hadn't purchased. Miles Luciano and Joshua Lopez didn't realize that an offduty Border Patrol agent was watching their every move at 7:50 p.m. When confronted, they allegedly traded their shoplifting scheme for an armed confrontation. >> Turn on 962 central 44. >> Copy 44. What's your 296 daddy? Hands [screaming] up. Hands up. Hands up. Get him up now. Get your hands up. Get [screaming] your hands up. Get your hands up. >> Hands off. Hands up. >> Hands up. Hands off. >> Get your [ __ ] hands off. Get youring heads off. Daddy's facing southbound. >> Shots fired. Close down. >> Get him. Get him. Get him. >> Get out of the club. >> Dogg. >> Hey everybody, stop. Call him out for >> smoke. Luchiano now faces multiple counts of aggravated assault while Lopez deals with the consequences of his very public flight. It turns out that a stolen air conditioner is a very poor substitute for a well-thoughtout retirement plan. On April 14th, 2024, at approximately 700 p.m., Steven Ferguson decided that Candler Road was his personal stunt track. His reckless wheelies on a blue and gray Suzuki motorcycle without a tag immediately drew the unwanted attention of passing troopers. When the lights went on, Ferguson decided to lead the law on a low-speed tour of sidewalks and parking lots. Stand light might be going on 285. >> Clear 285. >> We do a U- you turn on you again. >> Turning on you again. >> No, you turn back northbound. Caner. We're just accosting circles. If we can get more than two of us here, we might can effectively channelize them. I'm secondary now. I'll call it back. Northbound Canler. Panthers again. >> Clear. Northbound Panthers. >> Circle again. Southbound came. Southbound. >> Might be out of gas. Nope. Everybody's still going. Uh, stand by for another U-turn. 367. I just I'm going to do this all night, I guess. >> Civilian just tapping him off the bike. Stand by. Stand by. Civilian just tapping him off the bike. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. I got you. Watch out. >> I'm stuck here. I wish I could get over this curve. do this all night. Stand by. Stand by. I'm up to >> get on the ground and we're going to put you in and get off. >> The writer's escape attempt was cut short by a perfectly timed tackle from an offduty deputy who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Ferguson was promptly chauffeurred to the Dalb County Jail to face a mountain of traffic offenses and license violations. It is safe to say his days of splitting lanes are over for the foreseeable future. The afternoon of August 6th, 2023 took a dark turn when Jose Delgado Pinto decided to stand in the middle of Pico Boulevard with a handgun around 12:20 p.m. He didn't just carry the weapon. He pointed it directly at passing Olympic Division Patrol officers and pulled the trigger. This brazen act of violence forced the officers to defend themselves in the middle of the roadway. control. Give me a perimeter, please. We're going to be at Pico and Dwey. I need a unit all the way south of Pico. >> Hey, stop right there. Stop right there. Come here. Come here, bro. Get down. Do what you do. Get down. >> Arms down there, homie. Put me down. You can't put me down. You >> can't. >> Delgato Pinto's attempt at a shootout ended with him on the wrong side of a taser and a hospital bed. He was later booked for attempted murder after officers recovered his illegal ghost gun from the street corner. The only thing he successfully ended that day was his own streak of freedom. On November 23rd, 2025, around 10:30 p.m., a white Chrysler 300 with stolen plates became the most popular car on Interstate 57. The vehicle was not just speeding. It was a primary piece of evidence in a local homicide investigation out of Little Rock. The driver pushed the car to 120 mph in a desperate attempt to keep his secrets hidden. Quick on the 237 37 secondary alcohol west 120 traffic medium plane number Why cross for 300? >> I can't. That's all right. Do what you got to do. I roll. Successful TVI hit the wall. >> TVI 10:39 p.m. Hit the wall. >> Foot bell. One black male. We're in all black. behind the head. >> The driver's frantic sprint through the thick brush proved no match for the determined officers closing in on him. Three firearms were pulled from the wreckage of the Chrysler, which was later [music] towed for a much more thorough forensic cleaning. Both suspects are now sitting in custody. They are likely regretting their choice of a getaway ride for the evening. Late on September 22nd, 2022, a white Mini Cooper with a distinctive red stripe decided to ignore a traffic stop in Ringold. What followed was a high-speed dash on Interstate 75 that saw the small car weaving through tractor trailers like a motorized needle. The driver seemingly believed that the compact size of his vehicle made him invisible to the Georgia State Patrol. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. 1050. 1050. I don't know if it's violator. Standby. Go ahead and roll 1052. We're in between the 320 and the rest area. Michael Benning ended his evening in the woodline with a broken wrist and a very large bag of illegal green leafy substances. His Mini Cooper was left in a state that no amount of detailing could ever fix. The insurance company will certainly have questions. He was eventually transported to the Whitfield County Jail to reflect on his 120 mph lapse in judgment. October 6th, 2023, near 900 p.m. saw a stolen GMC Acadia making a very loud and very reckless appearance in Atlanta. The driver, Willie Joe Williams, apparently decided that two failed escapes from police earlier that day simply weren't enough. He led troopers through city yards and over curbs with a total disregard for anyone else on the road. 72 going left on 795 going to have primary. >> Yep. Uh going through a parking lot coming back out onto West End. Uh 795 is going to have primary. 795 is going to have primary. >> 75 primary at this time. 80 >> coming up behind APD. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. >> Yeah, somebody else going to have to call it if they can. Uh, turning left onto some street right here. Am I left on Josephie Lowry or I'm sorry Ogal Thorp left on Oglethorp left two street right on street blind curve can't do 1050 still going. Roll over. Roll over. Roll over. Get your ass behind your back. Turn around. >> Let go. Let go. Y'all set the car. Williams' run for freedom ended with a face full of pavement and two taser deployments after he tried to le it from the wreckage. Officers found an open alcoholic beverage in his console, which might explain his remarkably poor decision-making throughout the night. He is now enjoying the hospitality of the Fulton County Jail while facing a laundry list of previous warrants. During the daylight hours of June 9th, 2021, Terrell Gas became the subject of an intense manhunt through the streets of Godby Road. He was wanted for the unthinkable act of killing his own family member and was considered extremely dangerous and armed. When troopers finally spotted his black Dodge Dart, Gas decided to ram his way out of a boxing maneuver. Yeah. 33 today. It's my car behind me. We are 25 which is street. 85 85 north. Nope. Staying 285. Pitch. Pit. 943. Pit. Pick. All right. 1050. He's still moving. He's still rolling. Still rolling. >> He's coming. He's coming at you. 4943 coming at you. Get on the [screaming] ground now. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Do not shoot. Do not shoot. [screaming] Now show me your hands now. Show me your hands. Show me your hands. No, mother. Damn it. Show me. The suspect's decision to pull a handgun on officers was the final mistake in a very tragic series of events. While he didn't make it through the encounter, the officers involved were thankfully spared from any physical harm. The community can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that this violent chapter has been closed for good. On September 6th, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., Calvin Hathaway decided that 98 mph was an appropriate speed for a morning drive. When asked to pull over, he instead chose to enter Interstate 55, going the wrong way, directly into oncoming traffic. He pushed his Mazda CX-5 to extreme speeds while showing zero regard for the terrified motorists in his path. >> All of them. Roll all of them down. All the way. Heat. Heat. 64. He went into the tree line. Hathaway's attempt to hide in the woods was foiled by a phone call with dispatch that led officers straight to his location on Highway 312. A search of his abandoned Mazda revealed a collection of pills and a BB gun that looked far too much like the real thing. He now faces felony charges and a hefty bond of $75,000 for his morning of absolute mayhem. December 12th, 2019 began with Alvin Pson fleeing the scene of a fender bender in a stolen red Chevrolet pickup near 10:30 a.m. The driver seemed determined to hit as many objects as possible while navigating the one-way streets of Atlanta. He even drove the wrong way on city roads while a heavy cloud of smoke trailed from his mangled front end. Heat. Heat. Back stretch out window. 1080 with the red truck. Fair Street. Don't worry about Paul. driver. Pull the vehicle. All right. How many vehicles in some other vehicles? Get out of the vehicle. Get out. at its end against a telephone pole near a playground full of children. Pson was quickly apprehended and turned over to local authorities who had already tried to catch him twice that same day. It seems his third time was certainly not the charm for his career as a car thief. On November 5th, 2025 at 5:16 p.m. Mark McCusker thought he could quietly transport a massive stash of methampetamine through Fort Smith. A simple failure to use a turn signal was all it took for the drug task force to move in on his black Ford F-150. McCusker immediately chose to flee, striking a mailbox before his luck finally ran out in the middle of the road. Jenny Land and Savannah. It's George Frank, David Victor, Adam Paul Black. 45 right Hands >> up. >> Hands >> get out. >> Get your step out. >> Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back. Hands out the car right now. Keep them there. You got a passenger over there. >> All right. >> Keep your hands on the car. You're about as dumb as they get. You know that? >> Yeah. Can't drive worth either. You know that. After crashing into a parked truck, McCusker had to be revived with four doses of Narcan before heading to the hospital. He and his passenger, Lenita Dy, are now facing serious felony charges for the 5 ounces of drugs found in their back seat. The local residents are now seeking restitution for the various lawn ornaments and vehicles he destroyed on his way to jail. The evening of January 17th, 2025 saw 28-year-old Matthew Johnson making a very poor decision at a gas station around 900 p.m. Despite having a revoked license and prior convictions, he decided to lead deputies on a high-speed chase, reaching 120 mph. His black BMW became a low-flying missile as he attempted to pass other motorists on the shoulder. >> [music] >> Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. I can't see anyone. We got a vehicle. I got two vehicles. One down in the ditch. Look like a Ford Explorer. The frantic dash for freedom ended in a tragic collision on Highway 47 that left the suspect's vehicle a mangled wreck. Unfortunately, Johnson didn't make it despite the best efforts of emergency responders who arrived at the scene. The district attorney has since cleared the involved deputy of any wrongdoing in the final outcome of the pursuit. The sirens have finally faded. However, the level of bad decision-making on the road is just reaching its peak. This incident was merely a warm-up for the absolute chaos we have waiting in the archives.
