Yeah, we already started. Yeah. Well, state police has a tow coming. Actually, I think they're pulling up in a minute. Uh it it Yeah. No, but I was saying before, depending on the felony. No, well, I'm trying to Yeah, it's come to our lot, right? Just keep it. Yeah. Yeah. Like if it's delivered to us, we can do that. I thought it was only I don't know. No, that's what I Depending on the felony, you can tow it for search warrant before Even though it's a felony vehicle already, but Yeah, it's stolen. Yeah, it's stolen. Our expectation is that we tow it. Yeah. So, you want to search the vehicle you got here? Uh no, we'll do a BCI. >> What happened back there with the So, they were riding the shoulder and then then they realized that median was closed. So, they they tried to jerk last minute, hit it, lost it. And I worked in my favor. Yeah, I think that No, I think I think he broke his uh What do you call it? The actual? Yeah. But he blew the tire out, too. Yeah. He's coming to a I was on my way up there. So, what happened? He hit the wall and then he bounced off? Yeah, so he hit the wall like I was I guess the divider or whatever. He came I believe he struck it and He was trying to jerk in. He started fishtailing. I think he whacked it one more time in the barrier. Back there and then he just came to a stop here. Yeah. And then As As I was I was just pulling up like to >> He opened the door into your car? >> Yeah. And when you were you were a felon, he was all over the place or just kind of in the left lane when he hit that? He was in the left lane. >> No, he was in the left shoulder. Okay. All right. Uh cones so we can put like cones in there. Not not an active construction zone at this time. He's a felony vehicle. They told me to go point. I don't know if they're going to want to like hold for prints and then maybe then we should hold off on the search and everything's not all so you know, fingered around. >> Well, you want to call Anthony? I mean, he was just texting me before but the tow is inside. He's just having dispatch check. Yeah, just see what they want. If it's being held for evidence. Gray hoodie? Yeah, gray hoodie. Hey, what what It says felony vehicle and then it's entered I haven't run it. No, no, not all the time. Usually says stolen vehicle and then Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't think so. I'm in one. Who are we missing? So, do we do we have one under? Oh, two. I don't think that other car is involved. All right, so yeah, no civilians got struck then. Uh so, we're going to take the car, right? I'm just waiting here for Millburn. We're going So, headquarters? No, it sounds like they're coming here with their own tow. And now from here? I don't know why we can't just State Police not going to wait around for that. I agree with you. I mean, why don't we just take it to our headquarters and they can figure it out at headquarters? So, you guys got somebody? I think uh the sheriffs, they said. >> Okay. Yeah, it's the gray hoodie one. Okay, perfect. So, I don't know if this is related. Cell phone just lying right there. Nobody seems to know where it came from. Are you guys going in that car at all? Let me see. Yeah, it's the [ __ ] nuts. You guys placed it perfectly as he's running. No, I I think I think I put him I was [ __ ] coughing out bugs and [ __ ] When they hit the wall So, there were I guess there's like some kind of like a cone or something that kind of like comes to an angle like this like this. So, he was on the shoulder riding it hitting spectate try to jump in hit it and just started fish tailing all over the place. I thought he hit a another civilian but nobody did. Did he Did he like destroy the guardrail? I don't know. I think I just hit this. Oh, just this? So, there's no immediate Advise Milburn we're going to tow this to our headquarters and go retrieve it there. We're not going to wait on the parkway in the left lane for there. So, You got oil?
