Slide back.
So he's going to jail.
Hopefully, he'll go on the straight and narrow like he's claiming that he's been doing.
I've been in the sheriff's department for 11 years.
I have my private pilot's license and I like to fly.
So I would someday like to move over to our aero division.
Possibly fly the helicopter and help the patrol officers locate suspects and search areas and stuff like that.
We're responding to a call for Roseville PD.
They were in pursuit of a red harley Davidson motorcycle.
He's a domestic violence suspect.
And they followed him down to our area and they asked us for an assist on the call.
Officers have found the motorcycle abandoned in the area back that we're heading to now.
And he's supposed to be on foot evading us.
The suspect's supposed to be a white male adult, about five foot, eight inches tall.
They believe he's a parolee at large and possibly armed.
There's a couple of cops up this way, so Let's get their info.
- Uh, so he is somewhere from here - Bill, that way or down the way? That way.
So as soon as he wrecked his bike right over there, he's going to be like over in this section.
Okay.
He dumped the bike here in front of this house.
Roseville police department had talked to some witnesses and believes he ran through some backyards in this direction.
We're trying to get another officer to call a perimeter to surround the area and keep him locked down.
This is the only house that we haven't searched yet.
I've had a lot of premise history with this house where we've been here numerous times for service calls over the last two years.
I've probably been here six to eight times.
Do we need a warrant to come in? Wait a second.
There's nobody in this house.
Okay, well, just to let you know, if we do find him or he leads us back to this house, both y'all can go to jail.
Just to be honest with you.
Oh, I know.
- I don't have anything to do with - You want to take that chance? With bad guys.
It's real fun right there.
I'm sorry? We're looking for a guy with a gun, and he's an extremely dangerous parolee.
All we're asking for is your cooperation.
Maybe just a little, you know, helping hand.
If there was anybody here, I would let you in and let you have him.
I mean I'd be out.
But see, my fear is that there could be a guy standing on the other side of that wall with a gun pointed at your head telling you to say these things.
No.
If there was I could go like California highway patrol K-9.
If you're out here, make yourself known.
I'll send a police dog.
We'll find you and you will be bit.
Final warning.
C.
S.
P.
K-9.
Come out now.
Come on over here and talk to me real quick, Dorothy.
Thank you for finally coming forward.
Does he have-- Does he have a firearm? I didn't see anything.
It's okay, just Sheriffs K-9.
Make yourself known.
If the dog finds you, he will bite you.
I'm thinking he needs to be tased just for all this work.
Yeah.
Go right, go right.
Forward.
Down.
Sheriff's K-9.
If you're in here, make yourself known.
Dog's going to come in.
You are going to get bit.
Front of the house, back this way.
Coming through.
Coming through.
Let me see your hands! I didn't hear Everyone back up.
Only one.
Back up, back up, back up.
Back up.
Only want one, back up.
Keep those hands, keep those hands.
Crawl to me.
Crawl this way.
Got cuffs? Put your hands down.
Put your hands down right now.
You got it? Yes, sir.
Let it go.
Under the bed.
Over.
Nice job, boys.
How do you want to do How should we? Put your knees under you.
There you go.
Sit up.
Start crawling.
Come on, lift up.
There you go.
Walk on your knees.
Are any of these your cell phones? No.
None of this property is yours on the bed? No Let's go.
I gotta say, I don't believe you right now.
Where do you want to go? All right, left leg over.
Thomas? No, that's our resident.
Put your foot up.
Stand up.
Okay.
All right.
Did you, uh, did you get a good search on him? Let's see your cuffs.
Okay, let's go.
Coming out.
Thank you for finally coming forward and letting me in.
I've been here plenty of times.
I've talked to you.
You've been very cooperative with me.
And when I started to get this sense that you didn't want to let me in your house for some reason-- that's why I started talking about there could be a guy with a gun inside.
I had a really good suspicion that he was in there.
Good.
How were you feeling at that time, I mean, when he was in there? Petrified.
Okay.
I mean, did he threaten you guys in any way, or? Uh, he said "you better be quiet.
" You know, "shh.
" Okay.
So that's when you guys just became afraid, right? Yeah.
He's all tattooed.
And I thought he was probably in a gang.
Okay.
And, you know, I don't know, we've got gang members You made mention before that he had made-- said something about that he knows people or something of that nature.
Did he tell you anything like that? Uh, no.
He just, you know, "be quiet," and You just had a sense that he knew some people, that he just looked dangerous.
Yeah.
He looks like a gang member.
And I don't know if he had a weapon.
I have no clue.
I didn't see one, but I didn't know.
All right, thanks again, Dorothy.
We appreciate it.
What-what's your first name again? Why wouldn't you give yourself up when you heard the dog outside the door? No comment.
What's that? No comment.
You have no comment.
You heard the dog coming in the door, right? You heard the dog, you heard us make our announcements.
They even said you're going to get bit if you don't give up.
You had nowhere to go.
So why would you just hide out in there? Yes, I did yell "here.
" What's that? I yelled out, "here, here.
" All right.
All right, Andrew.
He's an active parolee right now; He's probably going to be violated for his parole status.
Um, he's-- according to Roseville, got an active domestic violence charge against him at this point.
Um, they initiated pursuit on the freeway, so they've got him for evading a peace officer on the freeway.
Charging into the residence-- that's a good burglary right there, because he was unwanted.
And held them against their will for a good false imprisonment charge.
Medics are on scene.
He's got a good dog bite.
So they're going to take care of the medical on that.
- And it sounds like he's going to Roseville - And they're gonna book - him in the county jail, so - Okay, that'll work.
I work for a smaller city, crowley, louisiana.
I was able to get in the K-9 over there.
Having K-9 experience is very helpful for me.
As a K-9 handler I was sent to several schools to show me where to look, how to look, hidden compartments.
Several different things to look for.
Right now we're at a stop.
Looks like a suspicious vehicle.
I'm going to wait till the light turns, see what we got.
Check to see why this vehicle's not going.

Find out why they're not going.

Two cycles it went through.
Yeah, I know.
Now they're taking off now.
I'll conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, make sure everything's all right.

They failed to do so.
