What the hell did you just say? >> He said, "I'm idiot and to see me in court and then grab his and flip me off. Give >> me just back. Back up. Back up. Back up." >> You're in my town now. You're going to back up when I tell you to back up. >> Start. >> Back up. >> On the other side. >> I literally can't. I don't have muscle control. >> I'm not. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. >> At first, it seemed like a routine decision like the cops make every day. But within moments, things took a turn nobody could have expected, and the gravity of things became crystal clear. These are the moments when the cops realize they just made the worst mistakes of their careers. I just want to know when all this changed. And nobody can seem to give me a answer for this. What's good for one isn't good for another. On the 11th of January 2025, the cops were dispatched after reportedly Detective Jennifer Stevenson crashed her vehicle into a senior citizen who was simply trying to cross the road. >> Um, first and foremost, are you okay? No, I'll kiss. >> But other than that, but you're okay. I mama >> cuz I if you watch the cycle of the light. >> Mhm. >> When I'm going I'm I'm getting ready to make a left turn. There's no traffic coming. proceed to turn and she's >> I assume you're in the I'm going make a left hand as I'm getting ready to make a left. >> Thankfully the officer and the elderly woman she hit were both okay. The woman suffered some bruising but otherwise she'd pull through. Unfortunately for officer Stevenson, the cops are held to a very high standard and she realized, of course, that the consequences she faced might be careering. Did you ask her if she's okay for me? >> She says she's fine. She's fine. But you know, she has diabetes, so it's better to get it checked. She has diabetes and all that. >> But yeah, she's okay. She can walk, but she just wants to get that. We just want her to get checked cuz if it does get infected, she has diabetes and um >> you have her info. Okay. And >> you guys are family? >> Yes. Grandma. >> Okay. >> So, she said she was going northbound >> at the green light and she says that you were making a left-hand turn. That's what she says. waiting for. >> Right. That's what she says. >> The light that I had, >> right? >> So, she's going northbound. You're trying to make a left-hand turn. >> Yep. >> It was hard to make sense of it all because the woman didn't speak a lick of English and everything had to be filtered through a translator. What was clear, however, was that she and Officer Stevenson were telling conflicting stories. >> She was She came from here, she says. >> Yep. Yeah. >> Okay. You're supposed to wait. >> Okay. So, it's not So, it's not a crash vehicle. Vehicle. >> No. No. No. She was. >> Okay. Got it. Okay. I understand. I understand that. >> I have to ask the questions. You don't have to be upset. I have to ask the tough questions. Listen, >> I have to ask the questions. That's my job. >> They're medical. They're going to ask, "Are you okay?" They're going to check her head up, check her, you know, take her to the hospital. I'm the police. I have to ask these questions. I'm not trying to come off rude, but I have to kind of yell cuz you said she's hard hearing. The investigating officer was right. He wasn't making accusations. He was just trying to get to the bottom of what occurred before he arrived. Next up, he pulled the officer aside for some questioning. >> When I hit her, she wasn't in the crosswalk. >> Yeah, she says here. >> I know cuz I hit her here and the suitcase was there. >> Yeah. So, you're coming making a left hand turn. left. I have a green light. Okay. Then you have this heading red. >> When I went to turn after the car passed by, I turned. I made the left. >> A, she got in a cross and B, she hasn't stopped. >> Right. Like right now, it stopped. >> It has been. When I turned it cuz I looked to make sure there was nothing there. >> You're not even in the truck. >> I thought it was vehicle against vehicle. That's why I was like looking around like what? She said she came from here. I'm like, you were parked here. I don't get it. >> No. >> I flipped her [laughter] suitcase and that's what caused her to fall down. Oh, her suitcase was hit. >> She was grabbing a suitcase and I took her suitcase. >> Makes sense. >> Due to the elderly woman's age, she met the criteria to be treated at a specialized hospital. Officer Stevenson was not out of trouble yet. The investigation was still ongoing, and the cops don't get special treatment just because they carry a badge. After being informed that her vehicle would be towed, even though it only had a scratch, she started showing hints of panic. >> Hey, quick question. Um, has a policy been changed about our vehicles being towed after a 17? Okay. Because they've never towed our cars involving a 17 ever and I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it, but the supervisor is wanting my car towed. Absolutely. It's got a minor scratch from the le minor scratch from the uh actually it's not even scratch. It's it's black transfer from the suitcase cuz I never hit her. I only hit the suitcase. I don't know either. That's why I'm calling to find out because this is all new to me. The last couple 17s that officers have been involved in, they haven't towed the car. So, I'm just trying to figure it out. If it was a 317 and airbags were deployed and speed was an issue or a fatality. I got to look up the policy, but when I was in traffic, that's what it was. I just want to know I want to know if when the policy was changed. I mean, I know that when we Okay, so whenever we did an airlift for any pedestrian that was hit, we would tow anybody else's car, but she wasn't airlifted due to her injury. She was airlifted due to a elevated heart rate and her age. >> It appeared the officer felt she was the target of an internal witch hunt, like the department might use her to make an example of her to the public to show that cops aren't above the law. However, she didn't get the answer she was looking for and her panic became more obvious. >> Do you have the policy on CHIS for for um CHIS? AIUS call outs. You have the policy for I have the memo. >> No, but like our SOPs reference towing cars. >> You're you're talking about internal. >> H you going internal. I I want to know where it states in there. The if this vehicle is operable and the fact that >> I don't think that's in there >> and the fact that she was only airlifted as [music] precautionary. This is how we handle traffic like for the public, not internally. >> Right. But when has an officer's vehicle ever been towed prior to my incident? Unless if it's been demolished, >> but the the times when I've told the car is because that car is not oper. But this is fully functional and a minor minor rub. >> So this is this is the first time I've had a vehicle versus a pet or any type of trauma alert. Even a vehicle versus a vehicle. I've never had it. >> I just want to know where all the changes come in. Wherever you have a Pearson's vehicle has never been told except for mine. >> That's a hell of a question. And if I'm the exception, I want to know why. >> Sadly for Officer Stevenson, none of her colleagues could give her the answer she was looking for. With every passing moment, her nerves were getting the best of her, and she became more desperate [music] for answers. >> I'm going to call PBA. >> Okay, but I'm still going to call the PDA. >> I understand. I don't think you understand the I've been through the past two years. Okay. So, I'm done. I'm done. >> Nobody's doing anything to you right now. You're getting all >> I just want to know. >> Agreed. I just want to know when all this changed and nobody can seem to give me a answer for this. >> Calm down. >> Calm down. Why are you taking >> Why are they How about Why is he taking >> Chill chill calm down? Okay, just calm Calm down. Calm down. >> I just want to know when >> when the new one came in. >> It was >> Just calm down cuz Is your car here right now? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, just calm down. Can I >> calm down? All she was doing was making herself look guilty as if she knew she was responsible for the accident and didn't want the department to look further into it. Because if they did so, she would face serious consequences. >> Just let you know I moved the suitcase. The suitcases over here. >> Over where? >> Over here. >> Okay. Well, I'm not worried about that. Okay. Just calm down. All right. Calm down. All right. You know the routine. Okay. obviously she's going >> you coming from home. >> You coming from home? >> So you going south? >> Coming south, but I need a left. >> Yeah. Okay. So you're coming south. >> So I was on my way to a car wash. >> Okay. So we're coming south, making a left. What was she? >> Mhm. >> Where was she coming? >> She wasn't in the crosswalk. She was going north. >> Okay. >> From this side. >> From this side. >> Southeast side. She was coming north. >> Okay. >> I had the green light. left turn the left. No traffic was coming through steady green for a little bit cuz I had to wait for a car to pass me. >> Okay. >> As I turned, I'm proceeding to come this way and I clip her suitcase which causes her to fall down. >> She wasn't even crossing. >> I'm going to get my pad. I just need the court ID. >> 0741 >> 0741 so I can release that property too. Uh yeah, I just took pictures of you and then they're going to clear. I already gave a case number and all over. >> Yeah, I'm trying to hurry up. >> It might have truly been an accident, but in the final analysis, the officer's lack of accountability dishonored the badge. But if you thought that was humiliating, just wait till you see our next officer who was making a roadside apology. On February 5th, 2024, in Adams County, Colorado, an off-duty officer was spotted by a driver speeding. He signaled to the officer to pull over, which led to an altercation on the roadside and a roadside apology and a hefty settlement. >> Hi, how are you? >> Good. >> Everything okay? >> Yep. Can I get your name and badge number? >> For what? >> What? >> For what? >> Uh, >> what do you need? >> So I know who I'm making a complaint against. >> For what? >> For speeding. >> Speeding? Yes, sir. Okay. >> I have you recorded doing 80 miles an hour in a 65 mph zone. >> No headlights, no sirens, nonchalant lane. Apparently, you drive like that all the time. So, I wanted to film hypocrisy at its finest. >> Okay. License, registration, prove insurance. >> No. No. >> Yes. Cuz now you're in >> No, I'm doing nothing. If you're going to start this, >> if you're going to start this, you get your sergeant over here. >> License registration. >> Get your sergeant over here. Get your sergeant over here. >> Get your sergeant over here. >> No, I ain't giving you Get your sergeant over here. You pulled over on a traffic stop, so you had >> I didn't pull over on your traffic stop. I pulled over here because I was I had to answer my phone. >> No. >> Yeah, that's exactly why you're not getting from me. If you're going to keep this up, get your sergeant out here. >> The man had done nothing wrong whatsoever. And if the public sees the cops doing something illegal, they're allowed to call out the officers in question. The man obviously knew his rights. And since he hadn't broken the law, he knew that he didn't have to identify himself or hand over his license. >> License registration. >> I can do that. I can tell you to. That's the first amendment. If you got a problem, get your sergeant out here. >> You ain't getting from me. Get your sergeant out here. I'm asking for your sergeant for the last time. >> And I'm asking for >> Get your sergeant out here. Well, you ain't getting my >> You ain't getting my >> You ain't getting nothing. >> Okay, then I will arrest you for obstruction. >> You do that, buddy, and I'll sue Adam County. Got it. >> Step out. >> You better get I want a sergeant here. >> Step out. >> I want sergeant here. >> Step out and you're going to get tased. Somebody get tased. I have a weapon right here. >> What do you have? >> Uh, secure that in here. Okay. >> You have a CCW? >> Yes, I do. >> Yeah, he's a Denver cop or is a He's a Denver cop. >> Yes, you heard that right. The man they just detained was a Denver reserve cop named Barry Zad Collik. And he knew his rights like the back of his hand. He also knew something else. He knew the cops weren't allowed to speed around with their sirens off or arrest people for pointing out the obvious. >> Thank you for being compliant. Greatly appreciated. No problem. >> Let me just check real quick. >> All righty, sir. He said I was doing 85 and a 65 and he's just recording hypocrisy at its best. >> So then I asked him for his license registration because he pulled up on my traffic stop. So I was dealing with him second and he wouldn't give it to me because he's a Denver cop and he knows his he knows his law his rights. Is he retired? >> I don't know. I didn't even see. I just saw he was a member of couch. >> Denver reserve. So, >> how exactly did he >> Well, that's what we got to clarify. >> Well, I'm trying to get his trying to get it. He came up here. >> If in all honesty, I could have I should have contacted him sooner, but I didn't. I waited for my traffic stop, so I contacted him. He's video recording me, so I was asking for all of his information. He's like, "He's not giving it to me." He wanted a supervisor. He was just video recording. >> And then when I was asking, >> did he walk up to your stop? No. >> But then >> you don't have obstruction. >> That's right. Barry never interrupted the officer's traffic stop. In other words, he hadn't broken the law or committed obstruction. He simply pointed out the fact that the officer, Deputy Walter Berinsky, had been speeding. >> And I asked him to step out and he stepped out. He step out lawfully. Just wouldn't identify himself. >> It's weak, but I got it. I'm I'm driving down 85. I'm leaving Brighton. I'm on my way to the Ford dealership to get my core back on on a starter. >> Okay. >> I'm doing 65. This guy passes me >> and I look at my thing and I'm doing the speed limit and he passed me. I mean, pretty aggressively. >> Uh-huh. >> So, I started to go to catch up to him because I wanted to pace him to see how fast he was going. He was going about 80 miles an hour. I recorded it. Like I said, he just passed me and all and he disappeared. Okay, so my intention was I've got this on on on video. I was going to call the station and complain. >> Get a hold of me. >> Deputy Walter was in really big trouble. Essentially, he'd let his ego get the best of him. He didn't know the man he was arguing with was a fellow police officer and he thought he could shove him around. >> I turned on 104th to go to the Ford dealership and he had somebody pulled over and right at the same time my phone rang. [music] So, um I I noticed that it was the same guy and I thought, "Boy, wouldn't that be isn't that something if he's given whoever he pulled over a ticket for speeding." Just sat there and I put my phone out the window to to record um so they could get a picture of the guy. >> Mhm. >> Um and then I just sat in my car and after he wrote the guy a ticket and let him go, then he came up to me and he said, "Can I help you?" And I said, I said, "No." I said, "Can I get your name and badge number?" >> Officer Barry relayed the events of the stop to Deputy Walter Sergeant, and before too long, the sergeant concluded that his deputy had arrested a fellow officer who was just trying to be vigilant. >> So then he opened my car, yanked me out, handcuffed me, and here I sit. And I told him, "I want a sergeant. This is you have no do this." And that officer that's going up to my van right now admitted it. He said, "Yes, you >> you should be >> that that deputy is >> right there." >> Um, >> he's right there with you. >> So, I'd like these handcuffs off. I'd like to be go I'd like I'd like that guy's >> that's that's >> information and I'd like like to go on my way here. >> That's going to happen. >> So, >> and I want an apology from that guy. >> The sergeant released Officer Barry and apologized for Deputy Walter's behavior. He said that sometimes cops forget that the public has the right to film them and admitted that his deputy had taken things too far. >> I even said to him at least if their body cams are on at least six times when he kept asking me for my stuff. Tell me he was going to arrest me for obstruction. I said, "I I I want you I want I need a supervisor. Before you keep doing this, I'd like a supervisor." And he said, "No." And then that's when >> that's when I called >> and that's when he yanked me out and threw me in handcuffs. Oh, I'll handle it. It'll be taken care of. I promise you that. I'm not going to let it's not going to just go away. >> Okay. >> Um, it will be handled. Um, I'm sorry. I I will apologize for the sheriff's office. I'm sorry it happened. It shouldn't have happened. Like I said, let me go talk to him for a minute and uh I'll be back in just a minute. Okay. >> Okay. >> At that point, the sergeant then spoke to Deputy Walter in private. For the time being, there wasn't much else he could do. Officer Barry had been released and he was free to go about his business. But like the deputy explained, he'd be dealing with his deputy accordingly. >> My apologies, but so I don't know what else to say. >> You ought to know better. >> So, uh, I will I will bite my tongue on that response, sir. >> Yeah. >> Am I free to go? >> Absolutely, sir. >> Well, I'll see you at court. >> Okay, sir. Have a great day. >> Thank you, sir. Have a great day. >> No, sir. Enjoy your day, sir. Thank you. >> What the hell did you just say? >> He said I'm idiot and to see me in court and then grab his and put me off >> at the same time. >> Yes. You know, stay further away, especially if he's not. Really? That's stupid. >> He is. He's reserved. [music] He comes and try and does this because he was >> Barry never filed a lawsuit, but between he and his attorney, they sent a legal notice to the police department and it outlined the case for wrongful arrest. The dispute was later settled with Barry for $80,000 with Adams County. The county also launched an internal investigation on Deputy Berinsky, but refused to disclose what disciplinary action, if any, was administered. On the 8th of September 2025, a diabetic man identified as Rodney Harmon entered a convenience store during a low blood sugar episode. In a state of obvious impairment, he told the store staff that he was the owner, then stepped outside to calmly enjoy a beer, which he had taken from the store without paying. >> How are you? >> So, what's going on today? Some of them want to die. >> Why? >> You want to die? >> Why does he want to die? >> He don't want to live. >> What are we drinking this morning? >> Drinking a boo. >> You're not drinking. >> If you touch it, you're going to have a mark on me. >> That's not nice. >> Touch it. I won't touch it. >> Why you want to hurt me? Why? >> Touch it. >> Why? >> Cuz not. >> Y'all rather go to hell. Let's go by the ground, bud. >> Give me a light on the ground then, bud. Let's go to the ground then, bud. How's that? >> How's that, bud? You feel better now? >> Do you feel better for fighting us for no reason? >> Now you got me covered in beer for what? >> It was a really hard takedown for an elderly man. While it's illegal to drink in public and Rodney did resist, clearly he was too old for a fight. The male officer, Officer Dalton Oer, didn't have to resort to maximum force to make the man comply. >> Have you taken any drugs today? >> You know something, >> huh? >> You got Y both of y'all got a mark on. >> Well, that's not very nice. Put marks on people. >> Just cuz you got on that uniform, you got the mark. You You going to die and you going to go to jail. You see that? >> Yeah. You see that? >> I got a license to shoot. Let me stand up. Okay. >> You ain't touching me. >> We're going to put them back. >> Hell no. >> Now we're putting >> Hell no. >> I ain't going. >> Yes, you are. >> I ain't going. >> No. Put him on that. >> Wait. He's tripping me. new thing. Stop. >> We got one in custody. >> How's that, bud? The female officer, Officer Witston, thought Rodney's behavior was due to substance abuse. But with elderly suspects, there's often a high possibility that it might be a medical issue. The cops then talked to the store owner, trying to figure out what happened before they arrived. >> Was he already trespassed? >> It was long, long, long. >> You saw him. Who saw him steal the beer and the drink? >> Yeah, we both >> both. Can I get your name, please? >> Yeah. >> How much was the milk? >> Yeah, just beer. You know, that's not the problem. Just he's crazy. We just need >> You don't You don't want him charged for the uh >> No, it's okay. >> You know, we just bought him, right? >> Huh? >> We just spot him in the parking lot. >> He's not. He was saying this this was his store. We can get >> Okay. All right. There's pen. >> Thank you. They don't want to do anything. >> They don't want to do anything. >> Still open containers. They >> still fought us. >> Yeah, he's still resisting. He gets active. I think that's a felony. >> Well, I think >> What are you doing? >> Huh? >> Okay, buddy. >> That's what you go for. Oh, everybody. >> They want a fake act is what they want. Do you uh do you need the paramedics? >> No, >> we do if they can clean our uniforms. >> I get some baby wipes or something. I smell like beer. >> Yeah, >> it was hard to watch the cop handle the man so aggressively considering the store owner didn't even want the man arrested. The cops then found out he was diabetic. So, they called in for paramedics and also requested a supervisor. >> EMS is here. >> All righty. I had trespasses from 2018. Still the same older, you think you >> punching at me? >> You jumping at me? >> Okay. >> You think he's diabetic? He's been drinking. He's under arrest. If you can just be easier for you guys to go to the other side of everybody. >> While the cops assumed that he was just drunk, it was starting to appear that the man was in the throws of a diabetic attack. To get to the bottom of things, the paramedics had to check his blood sugar. >> Bonnie, >> what? >> They need to check your sugar. >> Can we check your sugar, please? back sneez. >> Even if you check the blood sugar, the the mothering [snorts] stain, you ain't going to be able to wash it off. >> You You did it. You caused it a ricochet effect. >> Everybody you come in contact with this thing >> wouldn't listen. >> Rodney, >> you rather die >> than to have a black god. >> Rodney. >> Yes. Yes. >> We just want to get you some help. Okay. Help ain't no help for y'all. >> Well, we want help for you. >> Ain't no help going to help y'all. >> Well, >> we want to help you. >> How you want if you help me? >> Yeah. Go ahead. Watch this. >> Yeah. Let him clean it up for you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> So, he got to go to the hospital and get clear anyway. >> His drinks all over me. There's some lighting on that. >> I'm kidding. We got to check your butt. >> Can we check your butt, please? >> AMS for the hospital. >> It's going to be over. >> That's what they said. >> The paramedics finished evaluating the man and before leaving the scene, they advised the cops he should be taken to a hospital. As the cops continued documenting evidence at the convenience store, their sergeant showed up. >> Smell like beer. And it's not coming from my mouth. >> I don't drink beer. >> I don't really drink at all actually. >> Well, >> probably should, but I don't. Um, so this guy opened a beer in front of me. I was like, "What are you drinking? Taking it from you." And when he was like boat up and then he came in, he got thrown on the ground. Not him, this guy. And um uh basically he sold food. They don't want to do anything about the stuff he sold. However, he was trespassed from here in 2018. So he's got open container. He's got uh resistance. He's got uh trespass >> container. Can I say that? >> I mean 2018. >> Oh, wow. That's nice. Tina, where did it happen over here? >> Right down the corner. >> The cops continued filling the sergeant in on the finer details, explaining what happened before he arrived. And while the paramedics advised the cops to take Rodney to the hospital, they ignored their advice and instead took the man to jail. >> Yeah, I I pulled up. She's approaches him to talk to him and he like rips she tries to take the beer for him. He takes his hand away. She tries to grab the beer. He grabs her hand like this and he says, "If you touch me, he'll bite you." So I run up and grab him, he blows the beer in the air. We all get soaked for battery on Leo and resisting with violence. It's two separate things. >> If you try to grab him and he grabs you. >> I don't know. Did he grab you? >> He grabbed your face like this. >> He's resisting with violence. >> That's why he was tripping. He was doing this to my leg when we were trying to walk him and >> he kept rubbing his leg around mine and >> yeah, he was kicking medical at all. >> Oh, there he came. >> But he's he's he's also signal 20. >> Whatever. >> They got one for battery. >> You left my stuff down. >> She's got it in her hand. >> She ain't got my beard. >> You ain't getting no beard. >> You're a damn li. I own this mother planet. >> I can get anything. >> Thank you, sir. >> There you go. Right. Good job. Good job. Good. >> Arrest a man for something that y'all never own in the first place. >> Since the 8th of September, 2025, Rodney's been incarcerated. Some of the man's charges were dropped, including resisting with violence and possession of an open container. He'll be headed to trial for battery on law enforcement in April 2026. On November 13th, 2025, the cops conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle after reportedly the driver hit her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend with the side view mirror of her vehicle. It was a routine stop, but during the encounter, one of the officers there, Officer Hall, made inappropriate comments to a female coworker. >> Step out for me. I was trying to have the conversation with Der. >> Step back here. >> She has a picture of you. She has a video of you hitting her arm. >> No. >> With your car. >> No. >> So, what happened? >> No. I pulled up and she pushed it through my mirror. I left it purposely in because she purposely pushed it in. I didn't hit anyone here. >> How much you been drinking? >> I haven't been drinking. reach. >> Hey, right here. Listen to me. I got a dog. Do dog alerts on five odors. >> Listen, listen. Marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy. So, what it is, I'm going to walk the dog around the car. All right. >> I give it to I have legally purchased pre-rolls from the store to help my migraines so I don't have to take all my >> And now listen to me. Those those pre-rolls once you light them, it changes the THC content to become illegal. All right. So, what it is, if the dog alerts on odor, then I'm that gives us probable cause of search. >> I understand, sir, but I live in my car, so like when I don't have a place to stay, like >> I'm I understand. Just wait here and I'm going to take the dog around it. >> Officer Halick guided his dog around the suspect's vehicle, instructing the dog to alert at certain spots, which unsurprisingly it did. As a result, he put his gloves on and began searching the vehicle. >> What's in the car? Anything illegal? >> It's just my pre-roll. That's all that's in there. >> I can't get along to you. >> Well, I'm going to give you some DUI here in a minute because I can smell alcohol, too. I'm going to let you search this and then I'm going to DUI on her. Let's feel sobby if you don't mind. >> Yeah, you're good. >> All right. >> I'll give like I don't I think there's only like one and a half year olds in there. That's all. >> Uh, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to pull my car in front >> and then I'm going to give her some field sobriety. >> Unfortunately, the officer failed to ensure that his body cam was mounted properly so it could fully capture the suspect performing the field sobriety tasks. But the most concerning thing [music] in this stop was neither the suspect nor the DUI. It was the comments the officer made to his coworker, Officer Darby, as they were arresting the suspect. At this time, I am placing you under arrest for DUI, vehicular assault. All right. And if the has any charges, they're going to charge you. >> All right. >> Not that I can >> against our policy. >> Did you go deep? >> Can I real fast and then you >> been drinking? >> Absolutely. >> Excellent. >> Did you go deep, Derby? >> Come on, Derby. You're allowed. >> Just get that finger there. [laughter] >> The comments he made were creepy and disgusting and totally inappropriate. Essentially, he was making jokes about actually assaulting the suspect right in front of her. If he had any sense at all, he would have realized he was making Officer Darby uncomfortable. But he didn't and he just continued staring at her and making his creepy comments while she just stood there looking uncomfortable. >> There's a difference though in it being in your system for several >> Darby. Darby. >> Darby, you got to talk to her. Darby. >> Darby. >> Come on. >> Finish the conversation. Darby, >> you're going to have to transport her. Darby smoking. I wasn't doing any of I don't think it's vengeance. >> It is >> the mirror. >> She knocked the mirror and she What it was? She came up. She was on north. >> She came up. The good lady said she stopped right behind her and then what did she do? >> She she swerved around her and when she did, she hit her in the arm >> with the passenger side. You're going Why you going home, Surely? It's fine. Go. >> I mean, it is. Who's taking her? >> She is. >> Darby, hear me. My everything. >> When officer Halrich was exposed and the story hit the news, an investigation uncovered that it wasn't the first time he'd been accused of such inappropriate behavior. As a matter of fact, according to the local news, he had an extensive history of complaints made against him. >> Reprimand after reprimand, written warning after written warning. The personnel file for former Rockwood police officer Charles Hobrich is chalk full [music] of them. We sifted through more than 100 pages for multiple police departments. Habri began working for Rockwood Police in 2007. Earlier that year, he worked for Gravesville Police Department [music] for 6 months. There, according to his personnel file and an article from the Herald News in Gravesville in 2007. A father filed a complaint against him alleging that Hubrick told his 17-year-old daughter to get in the [music] squad car to talk alone. Hubrick was suspended following this complaint in September of 2007 and ultimately resigned a month later. Shortly after in November of 2007, Habri began his career with Rockwood police. He got a few violations in 2013, but the bulk of written warnings and reprimands we [music] saw began in 2020. Those reprimands were for conduct unbecoming of an officer for sharing an offensive Facebook post and the second making comments about women's weight in the 911 [music] dispatch center, going as far as asking a dispatcher if she is pregnant. But after all of that, he was able to keep his job. >> After the first complaint, they should have terminated the officer and never allowed him to wear a badge again. But somehow he just slipped through the cracks and simply transferred to a new department. Thankfully, after his inappropriate conversation with Darby, he was terminated from the police force indefinitely. However, he's since filed an appeal. On the 8th of April, 2025 in Wake County, the sheriff's office was dispatched to a residence. They were visiting Paul and Paige Briggs to serve a civil summon about a debt. When the officer got there, he knocked on their door, and when nobody responded, he entered the house. Hey, anybody home? Hello? Sheriff's office. Anybody home? Hey, anybody home? Sheriff's office. You could clearly hear a dog barking, followed by the cop unloading a volley of gunshots, then silence. After realizing nobody was home there, he left the house and called for backup. And they rushed immediately to the scene. >> [snorts] >> God damn it, son. >> Nobody in the home. Dog is injured. Looks deceased. >> If you could have EMS, 25 mile location as well for a dog bite. 104. Good. >> Yeah, man. I was like, damn. I'm going like nine minutes away. Yeah, I got bit. >> Not how I want to spend my day. >> See, that dog is a big dog. And he came right at me right around this corner. >> Scared the out of me. >> Sheriff's office. The team of officers made their way through the house room by room and conducted their search. While doing so, the cop who got there first filled his colleagues in on what had happened before they arrived. Sheriff's office. Make yourself >> Sheriff's Office. Make yourself known. I think it's weird. >> There's a couple of cats. I tried to keep the door shut so they wouldn't get out. >> One thing was for sure. When the family got back and learned that an officer came in their house and shot their dog, they were not going to be happy. Also, his fellow officers had similar concerns, wondering if the officer had legal grounds to enter the residence. >> Why' you come in in the first place? The door open. >> Door was open. Lights were on. I knocked. No response. >> And the door wasn't just like >> popped. It was open. Open >> like probably about 45 maybe a little bit less right there. >> Is that your phone? >> No. >> You good? >> Yeah. I'm shaking up because your car, >> bro. It's in your car. >> Hey, how you doing? Good. >> We're we're we're good. We just need animal control this morning. >> Okay. >> Left open. Service. >> Dog came out. You okay? >> Yeah, I'm good. >> He didn't I don't think he broke skin, but he got me down. >> You're going to bruise tomorrow. You're all right. >> Yeah. I was like, >> I didn't break skin, so it was You're not going to get shots or that >> came at me so quick, though. >> That's why I was like in hindsight. I don't know if it was a break. I haven't even been able to look really. >> That's how it was. The doors open. That was me. But some of them were open when I got here and lights were on. >> Haven't touched the lights. >> After a rendevous on the front porch, the cops then went out to the backyard to continue their search. Since the officer who' shot the dog thought somebody had broken into the house, they had to clear the entire area to ensure the intruder, if there even was one, wasn't still on the property. Do you do you check that back shed yet? >> Yeah, we can go take a look real quick. But uh just this one's open. Sheriff's office. Make yourself known if you're here. So it wasn't forced entry cuz the keys are here. 11 man. >> After searching the entire property, that's when the sergeant showed up and he had some questions for the deputy who' entered the house and shot the dog. He told his officer to follow him to the driveway and the entire interaction was caught on surveillance. >> All right, so tell me what happened, buddy. >> I got you. So, I came up for a simple process initially [music] knocked on the door. It was already propped up at the airport and I Front door or a side door? >> Front door. >> Okay. >> And when I called out, nobody answered. Called out again, nobody answered. So I jumped on the radio. So as soon as I came in, I shut the door behind me [singing] last the not the main door. >> Although as I kept going through the house, I saw lights. None of the lights have been touched. Um, they've all been either left on how they were when we got here. Uh, there were some doors that were already open, some of them were not. So, [music] I'm thinking stuff was kind of in weird areas. I can't make me think a break. >> The cop explained to his sergeant that he'd entered the house fearing there might be an intruder inside. Next up, he got down to the details and explained his reasoning for shooting the family dog, a Belgian Malininoa named Zelda. I got to here and the dog was just on the other side of the island and I started to back out. He came right at me, put my leg out like this. That's when he bit me and I had to unfortunately shoot it. >> Okay. >> Um me [music] around shot as many as it was to stop him. Right. >> Okay. >> But um after I confirmed that, I immediately jumped on the radio, let them know, and then called for EMS. Um, I didn't check at that time, so I didn't know how bad it was. Continued to clear the house. Once I had cleared out here, I was listening to the radio heading back. I spoke to a woman who I guess lives in an area over here. I didn't get contact. >> I asked if she knew who the owners were, if they >> and uh she said she did not know how long they've been gone, who they were. [music] She lives over there. Uh, so as soon as I set the paper down, I came back over here to clear this shed. After I cleared that shed, I came back out and then I came to the front and waited for everybody else to show up. >> Everything he said seemed to align with his body cam footage and home surveillance as well. However, what he said next definitely wasn't true, and it also implied that he knew he didn't have the legal grounds to shoot the dog. >> Hear the dog at all when you went came in here? I did not. No barking. >> Okay. >> Now, when I got to the hallway, that's what [music] made me notice him was he did. >> So, I started to back out and that's when he just came. >> He had to have heard the barking because the moment he opened the door up, the dog continued barking and continued to do so for at least a minute before the gunshots were heard. An investigation's underway and the case is still ongoing. On September 17th, 2025 in Jefferson County, a constable who was out of uniform driving a pickup truck with a flashing blue light tried to pull a vehicle over for speeding. He was pursuing a female driver, but she thought the officer was a civilian posing as a cop and sped off. The officer gave chase, crossing multiple state lines, and eventually another officer pulled both of them over on the side of the road. 104. Be advised this truck is for they got blue lights on waving at me to follow. Hey Can't for stay put. >> What are you doing? >> What are you doing? >> I'm chasing. >> Why? >> Cuz she come through. Sure. Running 50 mph. She's running 85 mph. Are you? >> I'm a constant. Jefferson County constip. >> Okay. >> She run a stop sign down here. But there she is. >> Okay. That vehicle there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Let me pull over. >> Yeah. You Let's all move over there. As for the constable, he was wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap. It was understanding why a person might hesitate to believe that he was a cop. Furthermore, when the actual police cruiser tried to pull the woman over, she did just that. So, it wasn't the law that she feared. >> Okay, you need to settle down. Okay. >> All right. I've asked you for your driver's license, insurance, registration several times. You run 80 mph coming up Highway 15. You'd run this stop sign light right down here. >> I I was scared. You're not in a police car. >> That is a police vehicle. >> You're not in a uniform. How do I know that? >> I was in jail. >> There's so much going on out here. How do I know that? >> Don't hire me. >> You are yelling at me. >> Here. Give me a hand. >> Just back. Back up. Back up. Back up. >> You're in my town now. You're going to back up when I tell you to back up. >> Don't start. >> Back up. >> I'm constructing this. >> You need to chill out. Just go over there. I'll >> Don't you tell me what to do. >> I was going to give you a warning. >> Hey, do you know what jurisdiction you're in right now? >> Yes, I know. Back up. It don't matter. I come into this jurisdiction with my lights on chasing her. >> I have every right. >> That does not look like a police vehicle. >> I don't care what you think. >> You understand me? Back up. >> The cop was obviously sympathetic to the woman's concerns. She also had a point. It's not uncommon for people to pose as cops and prey on unsuspecting drivers. Like the officer said, the constable had chased the woman across state lines and was in the officer's jurisdiction. So, in other words, the constable's case was now his. >> She has been nothing but trouble. She pulled away from a traffic stop. >> Okay? And I'll figure that out in a second. Right now, you're in my town. Okay? So, you're going to chill out. You're not even in your jurisdiction anymore. You didn't call >> out of my jurisdiction. Did you let county know that you were coming? >> No. >> No. Exactly. So, I don't know any of this is true. So you can sit back and wait. >> What do you want to do? You understand me? >> No. >> I'm not arguing with you. Go. >> Going to bargain. I promise. >> These two authority figures were now locked in a Mexican standoff. And neither of the men wanted to back down. The officer then radioed dispatch trying to get more information. He wanted to confirm if the constable informed them that he was pursuing a suspect across state lines. That being said, dispatch confirmed that he hadn't. So, like I said, we're going to expect cuz I mean if I was you I wouldn't have believed it wasn't you. >> So you tell me what happened. Okay. >> Hold on. Um I'm coming from Pine Bluff. I'm you know going the back way or whatever. >> He's going a little. So I passed him and then I guess that's when he claimed he turned his lights on for me to uh pull over. But I'm like um not sure to pull over or not cuz it's not in the police car. And so you don't have to tell me how fast you were going or nothing, but um so from there you passed him. >> Yeah, I passed him. >> Okay. And you didn't typically when I pass somebody, I don't look at their vehicle. You didn't look at his >> Uh-uh. >> Didn't see any badging, nothing. >> Um >> Okay. And so what happened after you passed him? >> And then it was another uh truck coming from the opposite side. I guess they are in cahoots with each other. I don't know. He literally blocked the street, like forced me to stop and pull over. He let his uh window down, so I just I let mine down a little bit and then he was like, "You don't see who's behind you. That's the police. Pull over." And I'm like, "Whatever." So, but I I have no choice but to pull over cuz he's blocking the uh the street. And then he gets out the car. >> Hello. >> Once again, the woman's story checked out. She'd passed the officer on the roadway, but aside from a very small badge plate on the side of his vehicle, you never would have suspected it was a squad car. As the officer was busy talking to dispatch, the constable emerged from his vehicle and wanted to talk, and he didn't seem happy. >> Are we calmed down? >> I've been calmed down. >> You You weren't. >> You had nobody putting your hands on me. >> Well, like I said, you're in my jurisdiction. You're >> I come into your jurisdiction, but I left out of my jurisdiction chased me. >> And we're in the process of determining if you even called in a pursuit. No, I didn't. I didn't intend to even ride a ticket to nobody or even be on patrol. >> All right. But >> but when I went to sheriff, she passed me doing 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. >> Okay. >> I tried to stop her. >> She pulled over. I asked her driver's license and insurance for registration. She refused, jumped in the car, or she was already in the car, took off. >> All right. >> She run 80 m an hour from Cheryl all the way to here. Run that stop sign light down here. >> You got a ticket booked? >> Yeah, I got a ticket booked. I ain't out here for toys. A sergeant arrived on scene to help solve the problem. The constable said that he just wanted to warn the woman, but then she took off. You could tell the sergeant was sympathetic to the woman, just like the officer, due to the constable's lack of uniform, and the fact that his vehicle had few markings. >> I asked her multiple times before she pulled off the first time for driver's license, insurance, insurance, and registration. I identified myself. I got my badge on. I got the decals on the truck. >> I'm as legal as you are. Well, our truck has got big giant police on it and blue lights all over it. Now, I see you got a blue light on there. It's clearly visible. >> Yep. No doubt. >> But >> I asked her, "Why didn't she pull over?" >> You've got a You got to think about history in the state of Arkansas where people in unmarked vehicles pull over. >> Yeah. If I'd have done that, I wouldn't even had my badge on. I wouldn't identified myself. I'd have pulled them decals off. >> I've got nothing to hide. So, if you wrote her a ticket, what port would it be out of? Be in Jackson County. >> Okay. You can write her a ticket and then you can leave. Um, but she's not going to jail. >> All right. >> That's a matter of opinion. Her leaving the scene. >> She's going to leave the scene and ain't stop. >> All right. You can ride her a ticket if you want to. >> You going to let all this pass? >> Well, it happened in your jurisdiction. You can write her a ticket. >> That's right. >> All right. All right. That's what I tried to explain. >> Ticket book, you can go write a ticket, but then y'all are going to part ways and that's going to be the end of it. >> All right. All right. >> To satisfy them both, the sergeant gave the constable permission to ticket the woman. But that being said, he wasn't going to let the man arrest her. The constable wasn't impressed, but he at least had a chance to keep some of his dignity. And and like I said, technically he can site you for whatever happened in his jurisdiction, but him saying that you were fleeing into here and running a stop sign. >> If you were playing fle stopped you for >> he said cuz I passed >> cuz you passed him. >> He didn't say it was about speeding. Nothing >> and then he asked you for your driver's license multiple times. >> I didn't stop either. The only reason I stopped was because somebody else, whoever she was called or was with, walked the street like I was forced to pull. >> Yeah. So, apparently there was a second vehicle. She did stop and he came up and said, you know, whatever with Yeah. And what he's wearing the vehicle. I don't I wouldn't have believed he was either. >> I wouldn't either. I told him I'd have left, too. >> That's why when I saw him behind her when I was coming through here, I radio like there's a vehicle with blue lights behind her, but it doesn't look like no police vehicle. When the woman found out she was getting a ticket, she wasn't happy either as she didn't think she was speeding. But as the sergeant informed her, it was the best case scenario because she wasn't being arrested for fleeing or eluding. >> He's going to write you a warrant. Okay? And then you and your dad can talk to whatever authorities there are in Jefferson County about this. Okay? This is the most peaceful, quickest way to resolve this. All right? That warning doesn't require you to do anything. >> Promise not to do it again. >> Oh, almost forgot. He almost drove over the ditch to turn it turning into the Dollar General when he was trying to follow her. >> I got out. I said, "What are you doing?" >> Doesn't sound like it's a good traffic stop. So, >> stick around. Make sure you don't follow her. Yeah, I look like you got some backup now. >> Yeah. >> What began as a traffic stop in Jefferson County turned into a multiple county pursuit, raising multiple concerns about how constables are regulated. On the 20th of March 2025, Charles Reed was summoned to a courthouse in Georgia. When he got there, he learned he was accused of kicking a woman's door down, attacking her, and fleeing on foot about 9 months prior. Charles was shocked to hear the accusation, especially given that since early 2000, he'd been bound to a wheelchair. >> Mr. Reed, do you know a Catherine Elizabeth Jensen who once resided at 411 Fredericksburg Drive? >> No, never heard that. >> You don't recall who she is? I had an ex-girlfriend named Katherine Elizabeth Wayne from like 20 years ago. Um, but that's the only uh he said Catherine Elizabeth Jensen. >> Jensen. Yes, sir. >> No, never heard that name before. >> Okay. >> The cops asked Charles if he knew where he was on the night of June 15th, 2024. It was about 9 months earlier, and unsurprisingly, he had no idea. He also informed the cops he'd been in a wheelchair since he was 18 after being robbed and shot. >> According to Miss Jensen, on this date, uh you forcefully entered her home and attacked her. So, >> uh yeah, that's uh >> And you say you have no recollection of who she is? >> I have absolutely no idea who that is. Yeah, certainly haven't forced my way in anybody's house >> cuz she was able to provide us with your exact information and a description of how you look. >> I truly have no idea that it's like >> okay said I forced into their in the way my way into their house. >> Yes, sir. >> Like was what does that mean? Like I can't recall. She says you forcefully entered her home. So, um I don't know whether whether you kicked it down, stormed it through whatever way as long as you weren't invited. You were forcefully entering into the into the home into the residence. >> The entire accusation was beyond ridiculous. How could a man in a wheelchair kick a door down and storm a home when he couldn't even move his legs? The officer explained to Charles that the attack took place near College Park, Georgia, but Charles said he hadn't been there in over 20 years as he works from home and has a wife and child to look after. >> I understand you say you haven't been here, but unfortunately you do have the warrant out for your arrest. So, I'm going to have to place you into custody and I'm going have to take you downstairs. You're going to be booked and entered and you're going to have to go to jail. So, you're saying you haven't been here in X amount of years, and you say you've been in this wheelchair since you were 18. If you have proof of all of this information that can be verified, uh, you say you went the grade through your doctors or whatever the case may be, your chiropractor or whoever it is that shows that you've been in that 18, that you've been in that wheelchair, then that would make it hard to prove that you forcibly enter that woman's home. So, if you get those documents in order, you can bring those with you when you go to your first appearance [music] um through your bond hearing or whatever the case may be, and they'll figure it out. But as of this moment, I will have to place you under arrest. Do you have any weapons? Anything sharp on you? Anything of that nature? >> No. Can I like I can I pee and stuff? Like I >> You'll be able to pee. I'm going to take you right downstairs. You're not even going anywhere. >> Charles was visibly stunned to hear that he was being placed under arrest. The cop should have had enough awareness to spot the conflicting evidence in the case and he should have immediately called for a supervisor. >> Put your hands out. Unfortunately, it is going to go. >> I can't. Is this a joke? >> My wife like >> you'll get a phone call when you get downstairs. >> Name's Charles. Her name is Sarah. >> Do me a favor with your hands up above your head, please. >> I don't have muscle control. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Put on the other side. >> I literally can't. I don't have muscle control. >> I'm not. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. >> Peggies, help me out. >> To anyone with eyeballs, it was a lawsuit waiting to happen. After knocking Charles out of his wheelchair, the fact that the cop didn't have enough urgency to help the man up really spoke volumes. >> You got call >> now. >> That's right. >> Do you understand what's happening to me right now? I need a paramedic immediately. >> 33, the radio, can I have a send for my location for a white male who fell out of wheelchair? My bad. 24 radio canal prepare signal for to my location and 35 lobby for a white male who fell out of a wheelchair. >> Oh my god. >> The desk clerk was just as negligent. The two of them just stood around the place and waited as the man withered on the ground in pain. Nobody rushed to him, let alone try to help the man back into his wheelchair. They were incredibly incompetent and should have been fired immediately, no questions asked. I told you that I don't have muscle control. Like how you doing? >> His point. >> He's not going to point. He's about for [groaning] jail for some reason. They said he warrant somebody house. They said, "Yeah, he was coming. Sorry. They saying that if I take him to um jail, he actually start laying on the ground. Not college park. >> Can I call a lawyer? >> I'm sorry. >> Can I have a lawyer? >> Can you have a what? >> A lawyer. >> A lawyer. >> A lawyer. Attorney? >> Uh, yes, you can. You can call an attorney. She can call one for you. >> As far as Charles went, he was surrounded by imbeciles. The combined IQ in the room couldn't have been more than 10. After lying on the ground for nearly 3 minutes, finally a supervisor strolled in casually and helped the man back into his chair. >> Somebody please help me off the ground. I'm paralyzed. >> Can I get one more chair? >> Yeah, let's >> Oh, they I was waiting for the paramedics from there right next door. I'm going tell you what you need to do before the book. >> All right. We're not >> I can't do anything here. Okay. Hold on. You'll move my leg. It's my leg that's See that? >> Okay, I got you. >> All right, push it up. >> I'm going have to get behind it a little bit. >> Okay, so this is what we need to do first. >> Falling down. >> Hold on, sir. Hold on. >> What's the warrant for? >> I broke into somebody's house >> from the trespass. >> How long ago? >> June 19th. of June 19th, 15th, and 9th. One of those. >> How long you been paralyzed? >> 25 years. >> Okay. Make a phone call in a minute. >> Listen, let's get him sitting up right. >> I can't I can't I don't have help slide you back some more. >> The supervisor told him not to worry and that it seemed like a case of mistaken identity. The supervisor then called Charles's wife, who assured the man that her husband was indeed paralyzed. Sensing a potential lawsuit that was headed their way, the arresting officer and the supervisor went to the next room and discussed the obvious discrepancies in the case. >> Might need to call the district attorney's office cuz if the door was kicked in, he didn't kick it in. He didn't kick it in. >> Well, she didn't say kicked in. She said, well, I can't recall if it was kicked in or if that's what she said cuz all I remember I wrote is that forced entry was made. So, if it was kicked in and he has indeed been paralyzed since he was 19 years old, that would be kind of >> That would be kind of hard. >> I mean, because I'm looking at his legs. I got a couple relatives that are quadriplegics. That what we see with his lower extremities. Hey, for play. >> Okay, >> that's that's legit. Um, and if he was born in 82, that means he was shot in 2001 and he's been paralyzed since 19 years. [sighs] I would suggest calling the district attorney's office. Let them know what you got. And even though she cuz now it's looking like she might have made a false report. >> The reports indicated that Charles was right. Years ago, he briefly dated his accuser, Catherine Jensen. For whatever reason, she'd filed a false report. She'd since reached out to the detectives in College Park, writing to them, saying, "My mental state and physical trauma in the moment worked to confuse me. Please contact me so I can edit the information in the report and clear the name of an innocent man. Jensen has not been yet arrested for filing a false report. There's that quiet moment that you just couldn't have missed when everything clicked in an officer's head and there was no taking back their poor judgment or abuse of power. What seemed like a normal call turned into something they'll never forget when the cops have the realization they just made the worst mistake of their careers.
