I'll be on the car, okay? >> Don't, don't Get out of the car now! >> You're what? >> In policing no two car stops are quite the same. However, if you decide to take off from the police in a car stop, there are some similarities. We're going to call for backup, we're going to get K9. If you decide to throw contraband, the K9's going to find it and we're going to find you. This is one of those. >> Hi there. Officer Birkholz of the Sheriff's Office. Do you have your driver's license on you? >> I want to talk about the approach. I really like, as you know, the passenger's side approach. However, there's a piece of information I think could be helpful. The windows are really dark tinted windows. And when the officer walks right up to the car and right into the window, it causes a challenge because if the suspect is attempting to engage the officer, they definitely have the tactical advantage. Better practice is say, "Hands on the steering wheel for me." And then as you come up, the hands are on the steering wheel and you know that the person is being somewhat compliant. From steering wheel to whatever tool they try to go to, you're definitely going to win that exchange. >> Just because of the window tint. Oh, really? Okay, got you. Where'd you buy it from? From Chicago. Got you. Okay. All right. Uh, do you have proof of insurance for the vehicle at all? Where are you coming from? Okay, got you. All right, that's all right. I'll be working on your insurance, I'll be right back with you then, okay? All right. >> Okay, so I know that sometimes these cuts make it a little difficult to follow exactly everything through, but when I didn't see the officer turn around and look at the driver, it's really important to turn around and look at the driver even though you have to look at traffic as you get to your car. At least a glance back at some point is really important to make sure that the driver's not exiting the vehicle, you know what's going on behind you. But again, he may have done that and was just not shown in that cut. >> What's up, man? >> Hi. >> How's it going? >> Well, what's going on? How's this going? >> Good. Um, he's really nervous. He was looking for his ID for a while and it was in his front pocket the entire time. Doesn't want to make eye contact with me. Says he's coming from Milwaukee. He said that he just bought the car from somebody in Chicago, but he's had the car since the 1st of February. He's got a drug history. Pull him out, see if he'll give consent, otherwise I'll run the dog, so. >> Really good stuff from this officer. He's doing what's called a sensory pat down. Like you've seen the pat downs where a person gets physically patted down. But police, we do something called a sensory pat down. When we stop a vehicle or when we engage with a person, we're looking at their body mannerisms, we're looking at their facial expressions, we're looking at everything that this officer mentioned. And the totality of all those things can lead us to say that the investigation has been further. Some people call it a sensory pat down, I call it a GMA or gets my attention. These are things that not only work for police, they also work for parents and other people when engaging what I call also the signs of suspicion. They're not legal terms, but they're helpful in doing these types of investigation. The other thing is the officers on the passenger side, there's very little need to look at each other. The backup officer should be looking at the suspect vehicle as the officer provides this information. You can hear it just fine. In fact, your ear is closer to the sound if you're facing forward towards the vehicle. Just a tactical consideration. >> All right, you can walk out in a quick for me, man. We're just going to walk right to the front of the car, okay? Just not by another car. What's that? Just cuz I want to talk to you at the front of your car. I didn't tell you you did anything wrong. I just want to talk to you at the front of your car. I want to talk to you, man. >> So this many refusals, I'm starting to think there may be some serious challenges with what this guy might want to do. One thing when you're watching from this perspective, always look to see if the brake lights go on. If the brake lights go on, it's likely that they're going to take off and that's something that's key when you watch these videos. We're going to see if that happens. The officer is really aware and alert, I like that. But if you see the brake lights, something to look for. >> You you on out of the car for me? You don't got to be scared. Is there anything to be scared about? Just hop on out of the car, okay? >> Don't Don't worry. I haven't done anything. >> Vehicle took off. We're 41 North Bound. Speeds right now are 95 to 100. Didn't want to get out of the car. Uh driving around vehicles right now. Broken yellow line driving traffic light. Speeds are 100. >> This is excellent stuff to listen to. The dispatcher asked the officer for speed. This sounds like a dispatcher that's really on point. Shout out to all dispatchers. Again, I I think I'm going to talk a little bit about that as this progresses, but this this pursuit sounds really good. The officer sounds calm. He sounds calmer than I do right now. He's giving his direction of travel. He's giving his speeds, and he's giving the traffic conditions. This is exactly how it's supposed to be done. Very good stuff. >> Do you have the driver identified and 10-50 in that vehicle? >> Sounded like a supervisor was talking about getting putting spike strips down. All good stuff. Safety's paramount here. >> The driver of the Winnebago right now, I believe State is in the chase with 90, but we will call their dispatch. >> Speeds are at 130. >> The officer said his speed 130. We stopped this car, and still at this point we have a non-compliant driver who took off in a traffic violation, which was for tint. There was nothing else that we had. I asked this in all my pursuit videos. Would you let this pursuit continue if you're the supervisor? >> I'm terminating here at 41 North Bound. He's going pretty far away from me now. Just advise. >> 10-4. >> 98, I am terminating at 41 North Bound. Aurora, can you just advise Winnebago and also Calumet if he's staying at his Winnebago address and Pontiac be checking the license and all the direction of travel just to make sure he didn't >> This officer is outstanding. Police love to get into pursuits. It's high adrenaline, it's fun, but they're extraordinarily dangerous. And for the officer to take all of the things in consideration and not have his supervisor tell him to terminate, he terminates himself. As a sergeant, I know my guys wanted to be in pursuits and I really hated to say we got to terminate, but if you got to think about the safety of the public, the officer, and everyone else that's involved. If you end up having to terminate a pursuit, I would even hear like if my guy would key the mic that you would hear the pedal still going down as they say they're terminating, but you hear the engine gunning as they say they terminate the pursuit. I get it. >> And I was a street cop most of my career. I love to see this officer taking the consideration of everyone's safety. 130 mph for this situation, good call. >> Copy that. Sheriff Petty. >> One occupant in the vehicle, nobody else with them. Was driving on the shoulder multiple times during the pursuit as well. >> Copy that. And is that And I'm assuming the driver was the RO? >> Affirmative. >> This dispatcher is super sharp, so is the officer. And I don't know if you picked up on what was said with the the driver is the RO, meaning the registered owner. So if we know that the driver is the registered owner, then we can do a further investigation later and we don't have to go 130 mph to chase him. Good stuff. This is really, really good policing here. >> We have a subject on the line stating that vehicle hit the median near County Highway N and the subject took off running into a cornfield. We're still getting further information. All right, natural person. It's semi-alert, no further information. Looks like he was last seen headed back toward his vehicle which hit the median and should be on N. Caller couldn't give any more description of the vehicle that >> I don't know if you caught it radio here, the dispatcher said that there's a citizen that called in and gave a location of the suspect. This happens so frequently. People see a person running across a highway and they hear police sirens or they see police going a lot of police in an area and they call dispatch and the dispatch also has a really good connection between this department and dispatch and their officers. Good stuff. >> Copy that. We're on our way. >> GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND NOW! GET ON THE GROUND! LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND! DO NOT MOVE! >> GET YOUR HANDS behind your back now. Don't move! Do you understand? You're what? You're high? Are you injured at all? No? All right. Roll over the other direction. What's your name, bud? What's that? Eugene? All right. What's that? Yeah, let's Yeah, I'm sure of it, but let's just check just in case. Clear. Want you to get to your knees. Stand up for me. >> So, I I just want to address something really quickly here. The officer said, "Is the vehicle clear?" And then he said, "I'm sure it's clear." Something like that. "Let me just double check." So, when you do practical examinations in policing, running past an uncleared vehicle is almost a fail. But, I'm not saying that this officer failed. He knew that when he did the car stop that there was no one inside the car. I mentioned this for officers who may in a situation and they show up at the scene and the vehicle's not cleared. I've seen other car stops and the first thing they do is clear the vehicle. That's just for people who don't necessarily understand [music] why they did the secondary clearing. But, that's something that should be done every time. But, the officer knew that there was no one inside the car. He conducted the car stop. >> We'll go back this way. I kind of figured that that's how that was going to go. Yeah, exactly. All right. I didn't see him take the exit, did you? >> No. >> No, I didn't either. I thought he was >> When he When he hammered it, I'm like I was I listened to the exhaust and I'm like oh no. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I terminated it cuz I could we couldn't I couldn't keep up. So, I'm going to run the dog on the car here. Yep. Alert. Check. Check. Good man. Yes, good boy. Good job, buddy. Grab buddy. Walk positive alert on the vehicle. State's going to be right in the crash. >> Not sure if you heard, but the K9 handler mentioned that the dog alerted on the vehicle. So, now the vehicle's good to go to do the search to see what's inside potentially narcotics related. >> Go over here by this tree. Go right down through here, bud. All right, have a seat. Lean forward for me. I'm going to double lock these so they don't tighten up on you. Burkey, we might want to do an article search over there. We saw where >> came out. >> We got this, but if he had a weapon, he could have tossed it. >> Yes, he was legal out here, wasn't he? While he was standing out here when I pulled up to the scene. Yeah. I mean, he was just standing there looking at me. >> Why don't we flip it? >> He admitted when I arrested him that he's high. He is He was so nervous, dude. He didn't want to get out of the car at all, so Um I'll flip it and then I'm going to do an article search, so >> Okay. >> Sure. You doing okay? >> What's that, sir? >> My leg hurts. >> I'll take that off and call for >> Do you need an ambulance? >> You're right on the >> Want an ambulance? >> So, I don't know if you heard, but the K9 handler said he's going to do an article search. Article searches are when the K9s go out and they search for things that could have been dumped from the suspect or anything potentially. In fact, there was one time where I was with my squad, we were looking for keys that a person had dropped and uh lost. It was a citizen that lost their keys and the K9 handler was nearby and he was 2 seconds brought the dog over, found the keys. It's a very, very effective tool. Shout out to K9. >> one of the articles Subject has requested ambulance for right leg pain. >> I apologize. >> Because you're high? >> Yeah. >> Did you throw anything in the weeds? Gun, hat, knives? >> I I don't know. All I know is I had them and it was >> Your keys what? >> It got a knife on it. >> Okay. >> I was just hiding them so >> Okay. Chance of that? >> I need a emergent or not emergent? >> Not emergent. The pain is from when he crashed. >> Was he by the fence or more that way? >> I mean, I'm assuming he crossed right up through here. >> I can kind of see footprints. >> Can I have some water? >> I don't have any water right now. Um when the ambulance gets here, maybe they will. Here. Now, knock it off. Okay. We'll just do a pattern here. Just go back and forth. So, here. You're getting all tangled here. Come here. Come on, figure it out. Figure it out. Dumb ass dog. Come on. Stop. Sit. God damn it. Come on. Go find it. This is weird as dispatch said that that caller is stationary running from the car and then going back towards the car. So, he probably ditched something out here. Here. Here. Lie down. Lie down. You're starting to piss me off now. I'm going to call that additional caller and just see if what he's seen. What's that? >> My mama. >> I don't know. way. Your phone wasn't on anyway, I don't think. Do you want to spit? You can lean out this way. You can spit out. You can spit out. Better? Swallow anything? >> What am I high on? >> What are you high on? >> Weed. >> Weed? Turn this way and get your feet out of the vehicle, okay? Here, you can sit this way. Okay, that way if you're going to puke you can puke. [ __ ] >> He's been hacking. Did he ingest anything? >> Well, the caller said he took off running then a moment later he said that the caller said he was coming back. So, I don't know if he went out there to hit something and came back. >> 100% I bet. >> Yeah, we're trying to search that. We can't find anything. I'm going to call her call her back and see if he's seen anything in his hand or anything. >> Dude, you probably just would have gotten a ticket and >> Yeah, I know. >> on your way. >> I'm sorry about that. I just I just smoked a little weed. I just smoked a little weed, that's all. >> Okay. Can you stick out your tongue for me? >> Can I get my phone out of my car? >> So, with that sticking out of the tongue, sometimes in the field when we're investigating a person who potentially smoked the green stuff, we'll ask them to stick out their tongue because it leaves a green coating on the tongue and sometimes that's a green and white coating that's on the tongue. That's the reason why that I have been trained on. I'm not sure if this officer did it for that reason or for another reason. If you know why he may have also potentially done that, please in the comment section chime in. I'm always excited to learn new things. >> Well, the deputy that originally stopped is going to want to talk to you first. You can ask him, okay? >> 10-4, Sheriff 60. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> Hi, Deputy Galligan here with Sheriff's Department. Can you just give me a little rundown on what you seen? Okay, so he went across to the north first. >> I did an article search with Rip over here. >> Sure. >> But, he might be too tired. So, if we find out that he ran this way and there's wooded it's there's water over there, so I'm not sure if he >> Cuz he I mean obviously he's going to have to walk in and figure >> Yes. Yep, absolutely. >> Okay. We appreciate it. Thank you very much. >> Bye. >> So he ran north first and then came back and crossed. I don't know. He said he was out in this field. >> So over there then prompted him to run over here. >> In open field? Hey, did we see this? Hey, did we see this Mickey Mouse pill right here? >> I >> That's what I threw out >> I think it's just a vitamin. I don't think it's a I don't think it's ecstasy. I've never seen ecstasy shaped like a [ __ ] mouse. >> I don't think that's a vitamin. >> Did you read him Miranda or not? He just >> I read him Miranda as I was listening. >> Okay. >> I had a little bit of weed on me. I swallowed it. >> Okay. So that's just what you had is just the weed? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right, man. Um I'm going to read you your Miranda warning real quick, okay? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to hire a lawyer. One will be appointed to represent you before any You can decide to exercise these rights at any time. Any of these rights I have just read you? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Do you want to answer any questions without a lawyer? >> No. >> Okay. All right, man. >> Okay, this is important. Not sure if you caught it, but it sounds like the suspect said I had a little bit of weed on me and I swallowed it. This happens a lot. People will swallow things thinking that that's going to get them out of getting in trouble for having it cuz they're still in possession of it, it's just internal and we retrieve it another way. In this circumstance, if a person says that they swallowed some type of narcotic, best practice is to get medical involved immediately because was it just marijuana? Was it marijuana plus something else? Ingesting a narcotic in that method can be fatal and it's happened many times. And if a person alerts us of that, getting medical involved is paramount. >> Here's the deal. We're uh you're going to be going to jail for the felony fleeing and eluding, first degree recklessly endangering safety. >> Okay. >> Um so we're we're going to find what you threw out here. >> I didn't throw none out here. >> Okay. Okay. >> All right. >> So All right. >> Can't be that much of it. We would have come across a bag of it. >> Yeah, like I said. >> Unless it's up here. >> But, you can't jump over that. >> I ain't going to try. Should be able to get onto his tracks here. >> He said he swallowed a baggie of weed. >> That's what he said. So, he's throwing up. >> Yeah. >> Oh, he was? >> Yeah. >> Oh, I didn't know that. Sorry to got bother you again. We're to the north of where his car crashed or whatever. There's a cut corn field here. How far out into that corn field do you think he got? Out in the middle of it? >> Kind of far. >> You might want to come out here. >> [laughter] >> Can you turn your volume up a bit? >> Nice. >> I didn't see his tracks turn around. He was out in the middle of this field, but I don't know where the middle is. >> It's a good little amount. Nice M30s. >> Yeah. >> Good catch. >> I called out a dispatcher earlier. She's like, I'm like, "How far out in that cut corn field you get?" >> Oh, he was about out in the middle. >> Oh. >> Did you take pictures of where it was? >> Yeah, right here. >> Didn't want to use >> All right, man. >> So, I'm all about second chances. All right? Sure you don't want to make a second chance? >> What is it? >> Whose is that? >> That's not mine. >> Okay. >> I was saying that before, so. >> All right. Cool. So, I take it you don't want to talk? >> That's not mine. >> Okay, cool. All right, man. Like I said, you're going to go to jail for a bunch of violations, so. All right. >> It's convenient. It's the same color though. You wearing >> Yeah. >> The side is a lot. Like a green shirt. You got >> Okay. >> All right, man. >> What did he hit that caused that much damage unless his tire did that when it broke off? >> I think he's got it dropped down a little bit or Cuz when when I was standing right here when we were trying to get him out of the car, I looked at his his little tire pressure sensor was going off, check engine light was going off. So, like Like I said, when he when he didn't want to get out of the car, I knew that there was maybe something in there, so. >> That's the frame scraping right there. >> Really good stuff. The recovery of that quantity of fentanyl. Imagine if a kid would have found that or if someone lets their dog or their animal out and they ingest that. These kinds of things have happened. It goes to show that believe half of what you see, none of what you hear when it comes to policing cuz this person to save themselves is going to deny that that was theirs or that they threw it out. Now, feeling again, allegedly. I don't know. I wasn't there. But, this seems like a really decent case that these officers have put together from beginning to end. The other thing is the recovery of that item, fingerprints, pictures, and DNA. I mean, I hear them saying all these different things as this investigation goes on. And again, body cam is great, but you get a lot of different cuts in certain body cams and you may miss certain parts of it, but it looks like these officers are following every step. And I'm glad that they got this person and got this stuff off the streets. >> Ice first. >> He probably went airborne for like a second or so and then landed right there. >> How fast do you think? >> Oh, yeah. We've got his DNA on that water bottle and all that he drank from. >> Can you tell me a little bit about that case in the back, that gun case? You didn't have a gun. >> Also mentions the gun. I found them before. People will throw the gun cuz they don't want to get caught with a gun. They're a felon or the serial number's been shaved off. They're not supposed to have it whatever reason. They don't care that some kid could potentially find it. >> want to some kid to find a gun if you toss a gun somewhere. No? Okay. All right. So, what did he just Obviously, put it in drive and take off after you said get out? >> Yeah, it looked like he was kind of having a hard on about it for a second and then Oh, then I mean, when he hammered that gas hole >> Was it a V8? >> Yeah. >> I didn't see him until you pointed. Well, look cuz I last I heard is he went back to his car. So, I'm like he's in his car. So, I'm like >> Yeah. >> And that dude pulls up and points that way and then I look over at you and you're like Yeah, there it is. Go straight into that red door over to the left. So we saw the pursuit and we saw the officers mention many of the charges that the suspect was arrested with. The original video, I believe that the charges that they listed and I don't know for sure this is just a video, it's not an official document. It says first degree reckless endangering safety, vehicle fleeing eluding an officer, possession with intent, fentanyl, and possession with intent designer drugs. So many good things that you can see from this and I'd like to shout out different elements of law enforcement and this one I really want to say the dispatcher did a phenomenal job. Really quick, was ahead of the fact that the pursuit was going on, made all of the different connections and I think dispatch is one of the unsung heroes of law enforcement. So all the dispatches out there, I want to say thank you for what you do for many times you've helped me throughout my career. A lot of people don't realize that there are people in certain departments, you have call takers who do the 911 portion of it and other people who do the dispatch and some that do it all. You're all heroes in my mind. Thank you so much for what you do and in the comments, shout out if you're a dispatcher or 911 or if you're both and what department you're from. You're very much appreciated and I know that it doesn't sound like it sometimes. We listen to some of those 911 calls but shout out to you.
