When officers initiate this routine traffic stop, they had no idea they were pulling over a predator who just tortured an 11-year-old boy. Reports indicate the boy was lured out into the woods by a 15-year-old juvenile named Junior. Then Junior's partner in crime, 60-year-old Darnell Haristen, came up behind the 11-year-old boy and choked him until he passed out, threatened him with a knife and a gun. Then hog tied him and covered his mouth with tape. [music] At the time of the traffic stop, that boy was being forced to hide on the floorboard of the white pickup truck. While officers are unaware of this, they have both Darnell and Junior step out of the vehicle. >> I got a turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> 214. I got one RUNNING THREE3. Given 214, the teenager just took off in the white truck. my hands. >> Who took out my car?

I am I am not fighting. >> I'm not fighting. Help me up. >> Help me up. Help me up. As officers take Darnell into custody, another officer catches up to Junior, the 15-year-old boy who just fled the scene. All over the road, looks like we're coming to a stop at John Campbell. Dispatch, we'll just start in the oncoming truck. Signal four. Signal four. Signal four. Keep going. Take a seat. Take a seat. Vehicle's uh upside down on the wood line.

That's my biggest concern. Ready to hospital? >> Is there anybody on the car? >> No, sir. Due to privacy reasons, the body camera footage cuts off moments before the 11-year-old boy is found inside the truck and taken to a hospital for medical evaluation. After being medically cleared, the 11-year-old boy told police that he was kidnapped by Darnell and Junior for multiple days, and he was continuously tortured and battered by Darnell while Junior watched and laughed. Darnell has since been charged with felony resisting with violence, felony depriving an officer of means of protection, felony kidnapping a minor inflicting bodily harm, felony aggravated child abuse, felony battery by strangulation, felony robbery with firearm, and resisting without violence. While the 15-year-old is being criminally charged for his actions in the body cam footage, the specific details on his case have not been [music] confirmed as both cases are still ongoing. The two suspects are both presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. This next case shows yet another violent vehicle crash. However, a male involved in the accident does the unthinkable to the responding officer. >> Collision 510 at Old Pacific. >> If you could advise us on injuries. >> Copy. I'm just getting on radio. I got two vehicles involved. [music] Injuries on both. [singing] >> I got one that's not compliant. I'm not sure what's going on with him. He's refusing to show hands. Where's my closest unit? >> Negative. Why don't you have a seat, sir? I'm at right now. >> Hey, everything's okay. Just have a seat. Have a seat for me. He's in and out of the car looking around, not making any aggressive movements right now, but not complying with my verbal commands. Hey, why don't you have a seat? Have a seat for me, sir. I'm a writer in the area. >> Hey, have a seat. If you approach me, you're going to get tazed. Have a seat. You're not going near those people either. Have a seat or you're going to get tased. He's attempting to approach the other car. I'm giving him verbal commands to stop approaching me. He's still approaching. He's going to get tased. Flash traffic. Hope you're invitable.

We just need some more to get them in the wrap and get them in the vehicle and handle the collision. >> Come here. >> Let me do it. I got gloves. Hey dude, I just got out of training.

Uh he has a laceration to the back of his head from being struck in the head with a pistol while trying to grab somebody else's pistol. Um multiple taser deployments. Other than that, scrapes and bruises on the elbows, conscious breathing, intoxicated. Okay. He he was in one of the vehicles. >> Yep. He was in that one over there. >> You all right? >> Yeah, I'm good. This suspect, Brian, was charged with reckless driving, driving under the influence resisting arrest, obstructing, felony disarming a law enforcement [music] officer, and felony assault in the third degree. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Lutin is just the word people use right before a traffic stop turns into a fight or fight for survival. That's why every officer should be running a plan A, B, and C in their heads before they even step out. Sometimes it's that quiet kind of evil, right? The kind that studies and uses trust as a weapon, and that's about manipulation and control. It actually hides in normal everyday conversations in empty places where nobody's watching. And the kid that was caught in this, he probably wasn't thinking about strategy. He's just trying to survive something that no kid should ever have to face. And stopping that takes sharp instincts before that trauma follows him for years. Then there's the other kind of danger, no warnings, just a crash scene that turns into a fight where your commands fail and your tools just don't work. Our training teaches weapon retention, but reality is way different when your back is on the pavement, your heart is pounding, and you're way outmatched. One scene tests your ability to spot hidden evil. The other tests whether you go home, but it really doesn't matter what form the danger takes. The cost of failure never changes because when it hits the fan, you don't perform above your training. He just fall back to it.
