This is the complete, chaotic story of how a dispute over change at a Waffle House exploded into a violent brawl, a high-speed police chase, a dramatic crash, and a wild, multi-person arrest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This bodycam footage captures the entire saga of Yokeen Lunford and his associates. The incident began on January 21, 2025, when Lunford and his group allegedly attacked employees at a Waffle House with weapons, including a broom, after a dispute over their bill. After fleeing the scene, they were spotted by Albuquerque police, leading to a dangerous vehicle pursuit. Following a crash, the footage captures the tense, initial roadside standoff. Officers issue commands to the non-compliant driver, Yokeen Lunford, who offers a bizarre excuse for his actions: "I tried to f***ing fart, bro." This moment of strange defiance quickly escalates into a physical confrontation. Officers are forced to physically subdue Lunford, who actively resists arrest. "Let go of me. Don't tase me, bro," he yells, while an officer responds, "'Cause you don't f***ing listen." During the struggle, an officer reports that Lunford attempted to grab his firearm, leading to a felony charge of disarming a peace officer. The aftermath is pure chaos, with passengers screaming and claiming injuries from the crash. One woman is heard yelling, "I lost my f***ing tooth!" while her friend tries to calm her down, saying, "'Cause we're surrounded by cops, and you screaming out is not gonna help shit." In a later interview, one passenger claims Lunford resisted because he has "trauma with guns" and was "triggered." This incident led to Yokeen Lunford facing numerous felony charges, including aggravated battery, aggravated fleeing, and disarming a peace officer, while his passengers also faced charges for their role in the initial attack. This video is a complete case study, showing how a minor dispute can spiral into a dangerous, multi-faceted police incident involving a vehicle pursuit, use-of-force, and complex scene management with multiple emotional subjects. #policebodycam #policechase #WaffleHouse #truecrime
