All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
OFFICER IAN HOBBS: I worked in the jail before coming out on the street, and a lot of the experiences from there play over.
On the street you deal with somebody for a few minutes, and you might not see them again for a year or ever.
Uh, in the jail you got the same guys you're dealing with day in and day out, so it really teaches you people kind of people skills and how to, how to deal with people and solve problems, which is something that's definitely applicable out here.
(siren wailing, tires squeal) (over radio) 53rd and 4th, continuing southbound; speeds are about 90, no traffic.
OFFICER DAVE ROBERTS: One of the people in our sector is in pursuit of a yellow Pontiac Firebird right now that's at a high rate of speed coming into oncoming traffic.
We're going to try to get into the area and become involved in the pursuit or stop stick the vehicle.
HOBBS: Westbound 62nd Street.
We're coming up on 62nd now.
(over radio): 101, disregard.
Extremely high rate of speed; no regard of traffic.
Now disregarded.
ROBERTS: I heard tires squealing.
HOBBS: It's probably gonna pass in front of us here.
ROBERTS: There it is.
There it is.
Yep.
(over radio): Any other cars in the area? ROBERTS: He just went north.
Turned again.
(over radio): Continuing, unit ROBERTS: - It's on.
HOBBS: - Let's move.
- Let's move into this.
ROBERTS: - Chase.
(sirens blaring) (indistinct radio transmissions) ROBERTS: Stop, stop.
Stop-stop-stop-stop-stop-stop! (horn blaring continuously) ROBERTS: Where'd he go? He went that way! ROBERTS: What's he wearing? HOBBS: Uh, 143, uh, the other, uh, the Camaro, the yellow Camaro just wrecked out, uh, we were not involved in the chase.
We're northbound in an alley.
- Uh - He went in the houses, man.
HOBBS: Okay.
ROBERTS: We're gonna need to up a perimeter.
Uh, also need a cart at 5-3 and Truce to check on injuries at the collision.
(over radio): He ran east of this division on his rotation and then north in the alley.
We lost it after that.
HOBBS: This vehicle was running from officers earlier.
They collided with a, uh, another citizens vehicle.
Citizen's over here being checked out by fire.
Uh, we're gonna go ahead and see if we can't inventory the vehicle.
See what it was they were running for.
(woman crying) HOBBS: Hey, Amelia, you said your family's in law enforcement? AMELIA: Yeah.
HOBBS: Well, who do they work for? AMELIA: Uh, my stepdad's a deputy and my mom's a police supervisor.
They're on their way here.
HOBBS: Okay, all right.
We've located a, uh, large amount of marijuana behind the, uh, driver's seat.
It's definitely gonna be in the felony level range of marijuana.
Obviously not for personal use.
And we have a gun in the car, too.
It appears to be a Smith & Wesson .
40-caliber handgun.
OFFICER NICK CARDONA: All right, right now we're responding to meet some other officers that were just involved in a vehicle pursuit where the vehicles wrecked out.
And, uh, we're close in the area.
They're saying that he's running eastbound.
Canines tracked him to the back of a dump truck, so we're right here.
We're gonna get out and see what we got.
Dog was pulling that way.
We followed him here, but the dog went that way, so OFFICER TODD TEMPLETON: Is he in there? Yeah.
TEMPLETON: Which way you guys bringing him out? (over radio): Is everything okay? TEMPLETON: Which way are we bringing him? He's coming over.
(indistinct radio transmission) Get down on the ground, down, down, down.
All the way down.
(over radio): I believe it was .
40-caliber Smith & Wesson.
It was not me driving, sir.
I think we already patted him him down.
TEMPLETON: Not you driving? All right, roll over.
Who said anything about? TEMPLETON: Sit up.
All the way up.
- Wasn't you driving? - No, sir.
TEMPLETON: All right, roll up on your knee.
We're gonna rock you out here to the street.
(indistinct radio transmissions) TEMPLETON: You got ID on you or anything? - No.
TEMPLETON: - What's your name? Dajuan.
TEMPLETON: - Dajuan? DAJUAN: - Yeah.
OFFICER 2: Right here.
Face the back of the van for me.
Face the wagon, man.
TEMPLETON: Where'd your buddy go? DAJUAN: I don't know.
TEMPLETON: Whose car is that? DAJUAN: His friend's.
TEMPLETON: His friend's car? So it's not you car and it's not his car? DAJUAN: No.
TEMPLETON: Look at that.
DAJUAN: That's ones.
TEMPLETON: Ones? One-zero-zero.
TEMPLETON: You work anywhere, Dwayne? DAJUAN: No.
TEMPLETON: Dwayne, how do you make your money? Lift your left foot.
DAJUAN: Hookers.
TEMPLETON: What's that? DAJUAN: I like girls is what it is.
They pay me.
(laughter) TEMPLETON: Girls pay you? DAJUAN: Yeah.
You're a gigolo? TEMPLETON: You like girls, girls pay you? At what point did you see the police behind you? DAJUAN: Because I was sleep.
TEMPLETON: You were asleep? DAJUAN: I'm on probation.
TEMPLETON: What are you on probation for? DAJUAN: Uh, eluding the police.
TEMPLETON: Eluding? Running from the police? DAJUAN: I told 'em, dog.
TEMPLETON: You tried to get him to stop? DAJUAN (crying): Yes.
TEMPLETON: What's his name? Is it Philip? CARDONA: What kind of car is it for? Uh, Pontiac Firebird.
TEMPLETON: You got his insurance card in your pocket.
You sure that isn't your card? You got an insurance card to a vehicle that just ran from the police in your pocket, all right? That doesn't look good, all right? We're gonna have somebody drive by here in a second, take a look at you and they're gonna tell us whether you were driving that car or not.
ROBERTS: Were you able to identify the driver? AMELIA: It might have been like jean shorts.
ROBERTS: We'll drive by and either you do or you don't.
AMELIA: It was yeah.
ROBERTS: It's you know.
HOBBS: - What about his hair? AMELIA: - His hair was in corn rolls.
ROBERTS: Okay.
Let's drive down there and see.
I'm gonna drive her down, Sarge.
(indistinct radio transmission) AMELIA: I was driving, and then out of the corner of my eye I see this yellow Pontiac going at least 50, 60 miles an hour, and, like, he hit me, um, and I spun around, and he jumped out of the car and ran away.
ROBERTS: Just a second.
I'm gonna have him step on that side of the paddy wagon, okay? Are you able to see over there pretty good? AMELIA: Mm-hmm.
ROBERTS: Okay.
Can you move him forward a little bit? TEMPLETON: Bring him up that way.
AMELIA: Yeah, that's him.
ROBERTS: - That's him? AMELIA: - Mm-hmm.
ROBERTS: Okay.
TEMPLETON: You can go ahead and load him up.
All right, there's guns in the car and there's drugs in the car.
All right, we're gonna end up seizing your money.
All right, you'll be arrested for felony eluding and the drugs, all right? (backup warning beeping) TEMPLETON: These guys have no regard for other people's lives, and they bust through intersections going 80, 90 miles an hour.
It's kind of hard for us to keep up with them.
We're lucky to get this guy in custody before he killed somebody.
OFFICER ANIYA SLOCUM: I played a little college football; little short stint professionally.
Mostly in Arena League.
You know, you're getting out there, and you have to chase after somebody or get into a fight, it's a lot easier, a lot better to be in shape so that you won't pass out or something like that while you have to do the physical job that we do.
Uh, looks like a domestic dispute right now, uh, between, uh, two two roommates.
It's a guy and a girl.
The guy punched the girl is what she's telling us and two units showed up, and he's refusing to come out.
(indistinct radio transmission) OFFICER AARON PATTY: You saw him pull up? Hmm? - You saw him pull up and - Yeah, he came back, yeah.
I just seen him, like five, ten minutes before you guys arrived.
PATTY: Okay.
And he didn't talk to you? He didn't do anything to you? Uh, he said he's done with me bitch and that's about it.
SLOCUM: You guys in a relationship? No.
SLOCUM: Okay.
(knock on door) PATTY: Hey, Wayne? Wayne, it's the police.
We just want to talk to you real quick.
(knocking) SLOCUM: You think he went this way? PATTY: Hey, Wayne, come on out, bud.
We want to get your side of the story real fast.
(indistinct radio transmission) (dog barking) (barking continues) SLOCUM: - Wayne.
WAYNE: - What? SLOCUM: Enough.
Enough.
OFFICER DAVID BROOKS: You called us? WAYNE: No, she called you.
BROOKS: No, you called us to kick her out, right? SLOCUM: Hey, Patty, we got him inside.
You can come in.
WAYNE: She is just a pit in my thorn.
I have a BROOKS: Come talk to me so we can get her kicked out, Wayne.
SLOCUM: Come on, get up real quick, Wayne.
BROOKS: Stand up, bud.
You don't got no weapons on you? WAYNE: - No.
BROOKS: - Stand up.
Put your hands behind your back.
What happened, Wayne? WAYNE: She took my car the other night.
I gave her permission to use my car.
She kept it for 24 hours.
- She doesn't BROOKS: - You reported it stolen? WAYNE: No, I did not report it stolen, but I gave her BROOKS: Why not, dude? WAYNE: I gave her permission to use it, but not to keep it for 24 fucking hours.
BROOKS: We're gonna come out here and sit on the, uh, couch - out here, okay? WAYNE: - That's fine.
SLOCUM: Anybody else in here, Wayne? WAYNE: No.
My dog.
SLOCUM: Okay.
WAYNE: All she wants to do is bring friends over here at 4:00 in the morning and party in her bedroom and I tell her to help me and all she does is tell me to keep off.
BROOKS: Wayne, how long she been staying? WAYNE: I haven't had a problem with her, but lately she's just going off She says, "I can do anything I want.
This is my house! You can't tell me nothing.
" And that's the way she comes off at me.
And I come to find out I can't tell her nothing because she has more rights than I do.
BROOKS: Says who? WAYNE: The police department.
They told me she only has to stay here three days, and she has a residency.
BROOKS: That part is true, right.
WAYNE: - Okay, well - But this is still your house, right? WAYNE: Yeah, I hope so.
BROOKS: Then get her evicted.
WAYNE: Well, that's what I'm gonna do.
BROOKS: You know how to do that, right? WAYNE: Yes, I do.
BROOKS: So what happened today-- she took your car? WAYNE: She came back with a guy; one of her friends.
I tell her, "Don't bring people back in my car because that gives you an excuse to take my car again.
" BROOKS: Right.
WAYNE: I've helped her so much.
I've bailed her out of jail.
BROOKS: You're scratching her back, but she's not scratching yours.
WAYNE: Well, she doesn't even want to wash the dishes.
BROOKS: So, then what happened? WAYNE: - I took the phone away from her BROOKS: - How did you WAYNE: Because it's my phone.
It's in my name.
BROOKS: - A house phone? - Cell phone? WAYNE: Cell phone.
BROOKS: So you got a cell phone that is in your name, but you are letting her borrow that as well? WAYNE: Right.
And I took it back, and she got mad and called the police.
BROOKS: Describe how you took it.
WAYNE: I grabbed it from her hand and took it out of her hand.
BROOKS: So she's got it in her hand like this? WAYNE: And she says, "Oh, you can't have it; it's not yours.
" And I go, "It's not registered to you, it's registered to me.
" BROOKS: Right.
So you reach out and you grab it from her? WAYNE: I didn't grab I just reached out, tried to pull it from her, and she just was fighting with me, fighting with me and I finally she let loose of it and I took the phone.
BROOKS: And then what happened? WAYNE: That's it.
She called the cops.
BROOKS: Did you throw it on the ground? Did you throw it out the window? WAYNE: I threw it out the window of my car when I took off because it's my phone; I can do what I want with it.
BROOKS: All right.
I was really scared and I was on the floor wrestling with him and he was trying to get my phone.
He broke the chain off my phone.
I dropped it somewhere out there or something.
Somewhere in my room.
PATTY: The chain that was on your phone? No, this was the chain that was around my neck.
He broke the necklace.
That's in my bathroom; the other pieces to it.
'Cause he broke it when he was trying to get my phone from me.
But, you know, then I ran out here so I don't know what he did after, you know, because I had grabbed the house phone 'cause he took my phone, ran in his room or the office or something.
I'm not sure exactly because I was just trying to get out of the house, you know.
SLOCUM: He didn't have his hands around your neck or nothing? He had them around me, trying to grab my phone.
I was screaming, you know, screaming, screaming.
SLOCUM: What happened to the door in there? - How come it's broke - He broke it.
- He took the pins out of it SLOCUM: - Today? Yesterday.
No, yesterday.
When I wasn't home.
He took all my stuff, threw it in the garage yesterday.
SLOCUM: The door's like almost snapped in half.
The reason that armoire is in the living room; it's normally in my room, see that? SLOCUM: Is that the room you stay at with the door that's broken? With the door that's broken and everything and everything's on the ground, yeah.
My room was clean.
He did that.
He's so involved in me that that's why he's mad is 'cause I'm not the same way about him.
You know? SLOCUM: You say you don't 'cause you don't feel the same way about him? Yeah, he if I feel is he's got feelings for me in the time I live here and he just doesn't he, I don't feel the same way and he wants more out of me than what I'm gonna want to give him, you know? And now it's all I'm using him, using him, using him because he didn't get what he got from him giving me, giving me, giving me.
You know what I mean? SLOCUM: Okay.
All right.
WAYNE: I didn't get physical.
PATTY: You didn't push her? WAYNE: No, sir.
PATTY: She didn't push you? WAYNE: Yes, sir.
SLOCUM: So it did get physical? WAYNE: But I didn't push her back.
PATTY: Well, you said it didn't get physical, but now you're saying she pushed you WAYNE: Well, that's not physical.
Push? What's a push? SLOCUM: It's physical.
PATTY: It's physical contact.
WAYNE: Okay, whatever.
It's physical, then, I guess.
SLOCUM: You just told me that, um, you didn't appreciate her bringing guys over and stuff like that and she would yell at you and stuff and, you know, she would curse you out and she said she had a right to this and a right to that and So, how come you haven't filed for an eviction? WAYNE: She's only been here two months; little over two months.
SLOCUM: Well, then if she was that much of a heartache a month and a half ago, how come you didn't WAYNE: She wasn't that a month and a half ago.
SLOCUM: So, she just started this? WAYNE: She started this.
SLOCUM: Okay.
PATTY: Hey, Wayne, can you stand up for me, please? WAYNE: Yeah.
PATTY: You don't have guns, knives on you, anything like that? WAYNE: I do have guns.
No, not on me.
PATTY: - Not on you? WAYNE: - No.
PATTY: Turn around.
(dog barking) Spread your feet.
Right now, you're under arrest for domestic batter, okay? I know you said you didn't hit her, but she said you did and she has red marks on her chest.
WAYNE: She has red marks because she pokes at her face all the time and she's got a warrant out for her arrest right now, too.
PATTY: Okay.
PATTY: Come on out here this way, please.
(Wayne sighs) PATTY: Can you get that door? SLOCUM: Yeah.
WAYNE: I knew this was going to happen.
(Wayne groans in pain) PATTY: That's okay.
You fine right there? WAYNE: I'm fine in the back.
BROOKS: Regardless of whose phone it is, whether or not it's his or whether or not it's hers, she's in the process of calling reaching out, grabbing it from her, so He'll go for domestic battery and hopefully when he gets out, he'll go through that eviction process and get on with his life and she can get on with hers.
OFFICER MICHAEL NEWTON: You know when I was 16, growing up, I had my car stereo stolen out of my car and, uh, it kind of lit a fire under me, because out here we have some hard-working people that bust their tails to get what they've got and then you got these criminal guys coming behind 'em and just taking it for free and taking advantage of 'em and so hopefully I can get out here and put a dent on it.
Right now, we're behind a white Chevy Blazer with a tag expired.
We're gonna pull him over, see if we can find anything else going on with him tonight.
(over radio) Be advised, I do find some history at one of the houses nearby at on February of this year, an assault on a female party.
NEWTON: 510.
Traffic stop.
D-L on a white Chevy Blazer, occupied twice.
I'll advise.
Hey, guys, what's going on today? Hey.
NEWTON: Okay, the reason I pulled you over, guys, you got a your tag's a little bit out of date back here.
Okay, I thought I had 'til the end of the month.
NEWTON: No, it says, uh it comes back it's expired at July 9.
Oh, shoot.
NEWTON: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, no problem.
NEWTON: - Is that your information, sir? - Uh huh.
NEWTON: This is your mom's vehicle is that correct? Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
NEWTON: Okay.
Where y'all coming from today, man? Oh, I'm coming from my house down the street.
NEWTON: You mind coming back here and speaking to me for a minute, sir? Sure.
NEWTON: About what's going on.
(over radio): Says there is a white male, heavy-set, wearing glasses walking north on Market, carrying a knife and yelling at people.
NEWTON: Okay.
You said this is your mother's vehicle, is that correct? - Yeah, that's right.
NEWTON: - Okay.
Let me ask you something real fast, okay? This isn't anything about you in particular.
Do you have anything illegal on you? - No, I do not.
NEWTON: - Okay.
Do you mind if I check? - Sure.
NEWTON: - Okay.
Can you come back here and talk to me real fast? NEWTON: Okay, now, let's go over this story one more time.
I just want to clarify what's going on, okay? Okay.
NEWTON: Where y'all coming from tonight? Um, I coming from actually over there.
NEWTON: Over there? Where's over there? (indistinct radio transmission) Um, oh, I can't remember the road.
NEWTON: Okay.
What's going on over there? I mean, why'd y'all get out over there? Uh, I went over there to borrow a lawnmower.
NEWTON: - A lawnmower? - Yeah.
NEWTON: Is the lawnmower in here? - No.
NEWTON: - Okay.
So what happened with that? - He wouldn't let me use it, so NEWTON: - He wouldn't let you use it? - Uh uh.
NEWTON: - Who's he? Dude.
NEWTON: Dude? Do you know dude's name? - Yeah.
NEWTON: - What's his name? His name is Russ.
NEWTON: - He's Russ? - Yeah.
NEWTON: Okay, how do you know Russ? Uh, I sold him a car.
NEWTON: You sold him a car? A real long time ago, yeah.
NEWTON: Okay.
How long ago was that, do you remember? Oh, probably a couple years ago.
NEWTON: Okay.
Is there anything illegal in the vehicle that you know of? No, there's not.
NEWTON: Okay.
- Do you mind if I search it? - Sure.
NEWTON: Okay.
Just lean against the hood for me.
I'm gonna go ahead and get him out.
(indistinct radio transmission) Hey, David, could you come out here and talk to me for a minute, please? I just want to make sure I'm getting everything correct, okay? So, I'm gonna ask you the same things I asked him, okay? DAVID: Okay.
NEWTON: What's going on tonight, man? Where y'all coming from? DAVID: Von Street.
NEWTON: - From Von Street? DAVID: - Yeah.
NEWTON: Did y'all stop anywhere along the way, anything like that? DAVID: We were getting a lawn uh, went to dude's house to borrow a lawnmower.
NEWTON: First off, you know, the reason I pulled y'all over, your tags expired, okay? DAVID: Okay.
NEWTON: The problem is this gentlemen's house over here that y'all said you went to, okay, is a known drug dealer.
DAVID: Okay.
NEWTON: Okay, so I'm not saying you guys are doing drugs, but you got to stop the good to get out with the bad.
You know what I'm saying? DAVID: Yeah.
NEWTON: So, that's why it's going to the lengths it's going.
- You know what I'm saying? DAVID: - Okay.
NEWTON: So, the driver already gave me consent to search the vehicle, but is there anything illegal in there that you know about? DAVID: - Nope.
NEWTON: - Anything like that? Okay.
All right.
Just hang tight for me for a minute, okay? Their stories match up.
They both advised they were over at a different house, trying to borrow a lawnmower.
Um, however, the time of night it's, uh, you know, close to 10:40 at night.
There's really no reason to be trying to borrow a lawn mower.
Look in the little cassette tape here, oh, we got a little baggie with some crack here.
Go ahead and turn around for me.
All right.
NEWTON: I have a feeling you know what's going on but I'll explain it to you here in a minute, okay? Okay.
Arrest for out of date tags? NEWTON: I'm gonna explain everything to you here in a minute, okay? Okay.
NEWTON: Right now, you need to know that you have the right to remain silent, okay? Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning.
So there's some crack in the middle console.
Is it yours? No.
NEWTON: - It's not your crack? - No.
NEWTON: Okay.
I'm gonna wait for him to get it out and then I'm gonna ask your friend what's going on.
I'm gonna come talk to David.
David, let me ask you a question And I'm gonna explain it to you just like I did your friend over here.
There's some crack in the middle console.
Does that crack belong to you? DAVID: No, sir.
NEWTON: You're positive that crack's not yours? DAVID: I know it's not, sir.
NEWTON: Okay.
OFFICER KRISTOFFER TINNEY: Did they say it's theirs? NEWTON: They're both claiming it's not theirs.
TINNEY: Hey, dude, listen up, guys.
The worst thing you can do to us is lie to us, okay? That is a single hit of crack.
You know, that's pretty much a ticket, you know.
The only thing you got to do is tell us the truth.
The moment we catch you in a lie, then we're just not going to believe anything you have to say, okay? Own up to it, guys.
Whose crack is it? Just be honest with us.
I can see the, I can see the marks on your fingers.
I, I, I, I've, I've had several people in my truck.
You know, I've gave people rides.
So, maybe I shouldn't.
TINNEY: I'm not buying it.
NEWTON: Before we go any further, we'll explain this to you, okay? Just because if it's your crack and you don't own up to it, doesn't make it go away, okay? - If we can't - Well I, I don't know what to say.
NEWTON: Listen to me, I'm not trying to admit I'm not trying to get you to admit to something that's not yours, you see what I'm saying? But I'm letting you know if it is one of y'all's and y'all are just saying, "Oh, if I tell him it's not mine, it'll go away.
" That's not how it works.
TINNEY: We know what the house is.
We know the guy there.
We know you didn't go there to borrow a a lawnmower at We know what the guy does.
Why do you think we watch the house? Why do you think we knew exactly what you were doing? Dude, we're not idiots.
All right? NEWTON: We'll put them in the cars and we'll check it more thoroughly; make sure there's nothing else in there.
Okay, man, come back here.
You're gonna have a seat in this car for me, okay? Okay.
NEWTON: Have a seat for me.
Right now, we're gonna check the vehicle, see if there's any other paraphernalia or anything else in there that would help in the consumption of this crack rock.
This is going to be about a $20 crack rock.
It's a one-time usage but at least we're getting it off the street and maybe get these guys some help that they need.
OFFICER (over radio): 132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
DISPATCHER: At gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
