Shots fired. >> 70 Northbound 69 Copy turning on 59. >> South on 3rd. I can't get close enough. He's just doing a loop around here. We're still South on 3rd. I was in >> 146 I merged with the suspect. >> Speeds are 25. We're going through a back alley. He just turned onto Aurora. We're back Southbound through an alley. >> Headed on through an alley on Aurora. >> Dorian is turning onto 59. >> Copy turning on 59 direct. >> He crashed out. They're all bailing. >> Copy crashing out on the alley. How many out? >> ON THE GROUND! ON THE GROUND! >> AND NOW THE CHASE IS OVER, but the danger certainly isn't. The vehicle has crashed, multiple people have apparently fled on foot, and officers are ordering the remaining suspect to the ground. The repeated commands show just how tense this moment has become. The officer threatens a taser and ultimately deploys it when the suspect continues resisting commands. Once the taser is used, officers immediately begin securing the suspect and checking the scene for additional people who may have escaped. Remember, this all started with what officers described as a traffic violation. Now they're dealing with a crash, multiple fleeing occupants, and a suspect in custody. >> On the ground! ON THE GROUND! ON THE GROUND! ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW! I WILL SHOOT YOU! GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND! >> [music] >> I need a taser. I'm good. I'm going to tase you! Get on the ground! I WILL TASE YOU! GET ON THE GROUND! >> NO MORE. NO MORE. >> STOP! >> I'm just trying to Oh! Okay. Stop. >> Taser deployment. I got one. I have detained. Hands behind your back. Hands behind your back. Hands behind your back. Dude, I will [ __ ] tase you again. Stop. How old are you? Do not move. Do it behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Dude, dude, can I get my phone? >> Get up. Yeah, I'm 146. I'm in the alleyway, View Ridge. West on uh Aurora. It's the next alleyway. Uh just to the west. Alleyway what right across the street from getting go. Take it south. No. How old are you? No. No. Stop. Two outstanding they ran they ran westbound. No. Stop. Sit right here. I need medics for a taser deployment. How old are you? I got movement over here on me. If I can get him some more units. But yeah, if you can it's a like a Hispanic male and white female ran westbound. I have movement over there. Huh? I don't know. You driving? I'm guessing so. He was the last to come out. They bailed on the right side. >> The suspect keeps insisting that he wasn't doing anything wrong. But from the officer's perspective, the fact that he ran from the vehicle is now a major part of the investigation. Running doesn't automatically answer every legal question, but it certainly gives officers more reasons to investigate what happened before the crash. And notice the uncertainty surrounding the other occupants. Officers are still searching nearby and trying to determine who is actually inside the vehicle. This is where the situation becomes less about one person's explanation and more about reconstructing the entire sequence of events. Who was driving? Who ran? And why did everyone scatter after the crash? >> I couldn't tell you clothing description. Looked like younger Hispanic male and white female. >> No. >> All right, but you guys are going to take my my possessions and take this book on already. How old are you? How old are you? >> Where you lost? >> [snorts] >> Stay right there. >> Hey guys, we're meant to protect and serve. I'm not damaging no one. >> You ran. I don't Why are you running? Huh? >> Because I'm not damaging no one. >> [snorts] >> So, that's why you ran? >> Get that book on the road and I'm not damaging I'm not damaging no one, dude. >> Don't move. >> [snorts] >> You got something in your pocket here? >> No, there's another one. >> Was he in a black sweatshirt? >> Couldn't tell you. >> You guys get my phone, please. >> Huh? You got tased. Oh. >> No, I wasn't doing nothing wrong. >> No, you weren't. Is this in your skin? Stay right there. We're going to take it out. >> Look at the skin, isn't it? >> It's going to be a little bit of poke, okay? >> Let's do it. >> I found another Hispanic male >> I think he's part of the the house. >> Uh what did you say? >> Found another Hispanic Hispanic male in a black sweatshirt on that end. But I don't think they would have been able to get that off. >> Ready? >> Mhm. >> All right, stand still. Stand still. Stay down. >> Now we're getting the deputy's first-hand explanation of how the pursuit began. He says he initially noticed a broken taillight and that the vehicle appeared to be operating improperly on the roadway. According to his account, the occupants then took off, leading him through multiple streets and eventually into the area where the vehicle crashed. He also explains that the speeds became extremely high during the pursuit. Later, officers discuss estimates reaching around 90 mph at one point. That changes the seriousness of the encounter considerably. A simple traffic stop can become a major public safety issue when a driver chooses to accelerate away at those speeds. >> Can I get my shoe and my phone, please? Look, please. Look, please. >> [snorts] >> All right, come back here. You're going to have to take a seat until medics get here. >> Look, can can you guys get my phone? >> All right, we really don't care about your phone right now. >> Search him? >> Yeah. >> [snorts] >> Search him. >> I'm guessing they're juveniles. This guy's born in well close he's born in 2005 so >> 20 >> 20 years yeah not juveniles but young >> [snorts] >> 146 we attached one >> So what road you on to kick this off? >> I was at over by getting go I just had they have a broken tail light so I went and they were going well they were like almost on the wrong side of the road so that's what and so I turned behind them and then they just took off I couldn't really get behind them >> [snorts] >> and then I noticed that they were trying to get away from me so I turned on my lights and then we were just doing loops back and forth around here and then he right as you said terminate he crashed out so >> [snorts] >> I don't think so he just I don't know one and he ran over here and he got tased said he dropped his phone somewhere too Yeah so two got out and then it looked like I could see somebody still in the like driver middle console area so they left and then I got after him >> [snorts] >> that's what he says. Oh [ __ ] I really don't know why they're running. I'll go talk to him. What's that? >> So, I'm not really sure why they're running cuz it's not stolen or anything. >> You didn't have anything on him, either. Hey, man. You doing okay? Okay. I'm still going to have medics come check you out, okay? Uh what's What is going on tonight? You want to talk to me at all? You're thirsty? Okay, we'll try to get you some water as soon as we can. Is this your mom's car? Your parents' car? Is this your car? Do you have any idea where your friends went? >> I'm not sure where my phone is. >> Well, are you going to answer any of my questions? I'll wait for them just a sec. >> officers. >> Sorry. I was just trying to get a traffic stop out of the way. I saw [snorts] a missing taillight. >> See, like 60 on third or second or something. >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean, well, on second we probably got up to 90 at one point. >> What's that? >> We probably got up to like 90 at one point on second, but we called out speeds on I don't know, third or second, wherever we're at. It was 60 at one point. >> Here's one of the most important details in the entire incident. Officers are now discussing speeds that may have reached approximately 90 mph. The transcript also mentions speeds around 60 during portions of the pursuit. Even without knowing every exact measurement, those numbers explain why the officers treated the situation as extremely dangerous. This wasn't simply someone refusing to pull over. The vehicle allegedly traveled at very high speeds through an area with other people and vehicles nearby before eventually crashing. And now investigators have to determine exactly who was driving, why they fled, and whether additional charges could result from what happened during the pursuit. >> Hi guys. I just got one with taser deployment. All right, bud. Step on out. These medics are going to take a look at you real quick, okay? >> Earlier. >> Are the people back there injured too? >> I have a little uh yellow thing. >> Uh I took the barbs out. >> Cool. >> Barbs are good. >> Okay. >> Face it. Face it. Please go back. Right here. Uh 20. >> Oh, cool. >> Um I think they're all in his back. Looks like one right there and there's another one. Oh, yeah. Two right there. >> Okay. >> Does he speak English? >> Yep. >> Okay. How do you feel? >> I feel good. I'm not sure if anything is wrong. >> That's it? Okay. Not not injured or anything? I mean, obviously you got tasered. Okay. >> [snorts] >> I would say he's Yeah. As long as it's not actively bleeding. He only cares about his shoe and his phone, so >> Yeah. I don't >> concerned about injuries, so >> I don't feel any. I don't feel anything in it either, so >> Yeah, I think they came out clean. >> It'd be a lot more inflamed if it was already, so >> Okay. >> I'd say you're good. >> All right. That works. Thanks, guys. >> All right. Yep. >> Can I Can I These are the med- medics are for you. You can just one. >> What's that? >> Um is there any possible way I can get my shoe or like you guys >> No, that's not their job. They're just here to take a look at you. Okay? Have a seat for me. They got shoes where you're going. >> All right. Can I ask you a question, though? >> Sure. >> Like, my iPhone, is it going to get put in a position? >> I don't know where it's at. >> It's in the car. And if you guys look for it, I don't got to go with you, but if you >> Okay. Have a seat for me. >> But you're not going to do it, bro. You're lying. I don't know. >> Have you had anything to drink tonight? >> Okay. >> All I have is suspended and eluding and interference, I guess. So. >> Do you have the phone and eluding anyways? >> Yeah, I mean, we went Uh, I mean, we go 90 on Second Avenue. >> And here's the final outcome. According to the video's closing information, the suspect was transported to the Polk County Jail and booked on charges of eluding, interference with official acts, and driving with a suspended license. What started with a reported traffic violation quickly escalated into a high-speed pursuit, a crash, multiple people fleeing the scene, and a Taser deployment. The officers then had to secure the suspect, search for others, arrange medical evaluation, and piece together what happened. Whatever the original reason for the stop, fleeing only made the situation significantly more serious. What do you think? Was running worth the consequences?
