-Deputy deon ford: South 20.
-Dispatch: South 20... Is returning
With a felony warrant out of our agency
For failure to appear on possession of narcotics.
He's also returning with a caution of
History of making threats to law enforcement.
-Ford: Copy.
Alright, we're gonna have him step out of the vehicle
And place him in cuffs.
So I flipped around and he immediately pulled over
Without even me getting close to him.
So he saw me from a distance.
(car revs)
-All: Hey! Hey! Hey!
-Go! Go!
(sirens blare)
(indistinct radio)
-Captain david boruchowitz: So we've got a pursuit going.
One of my guys tried to conduct a traffic stop
On this vehicle.
After they stopped him,
They identified he was wanted
And the vehicle then took off on them.
(siren blares)
Someone who's really not thinking.
I mean, he has to know at this point,
He's not getting away.
He's losing his back tire now.
So nhps deployment of spike strips was successful,
So he's now losing his tires.
(sirens blare)
I'm gonna try to slow him down by getting in front of him.
(sirens blare)
There's two occupants I think.
(radio chatter)
5-9-3, if you can try to let him come back
Onto the right side of the road.
-(sirens blare) -(radio chatter)
9-3, pit attempted unsuccessfully.
(sirens blare)
(radio chatter)
He's gonna run that gate.
Or he's gonna try to at least.
(sirens blare)
(gate smashes)
9-3, he ran this gate. We're in a truck yard now.
-Dispatch: Truck yard.
(car crashes)
(sirens blare)
Boruchowitz: Let me see your hands!
Put your hands up now!
Driver, open your door!
Watch that passenger.
-Ford: Keep your hands up. -Step out.
Let me see your hands.
-Boruchowitz: Keep your hands over your head.
-Deputy sedrick sweet: Step to your left. Step to your left.
Keep your hands up. Step to your left.
-You've got a passenger on that passenger side.
-Step to your left.
Go to your knees, interlock your hands behind your head.
Alright, secure him. I got him, I got him.
(helicopter hovers)
-She was trying to get me to stop
But I refused to stop to let her out.
-Boruchowitz: Right. So you kidnapped her.
-I didn't kidnap her.
-Boruchowitz: You understand you're under arrest, right?
-She's hurt. -Do you understand that?
-Yeah, she's hurt though. -Okay, well,
There's only one person at fault for that
And that's you, okay.
Okay, get him up and go.
-Sweet: Bring him back. Bring him back.
Passenger, let me see your hands.
-Boruchowitz: She's injured. She's reporting she's injured.
What's your injuries?
Can you get us medical?
-(woman crying) -do you have any weapons on you?
-No. -What's your name here?
-Tamra. -Okay, don't move.
You don't have any weapons anywhere here?
Stay right where you are.
Keep your head where you are.
He says you tried to get him to stop
And he wouldn't listen.
-Yes. -Who is he to you?
-He was my fiancé.
-What was this about tonight?
Why were you there? -I don't know.
-Alright, we'll wait here for medics, okay.
Did you already id her on our stop?
-They ran her already, yeah.
She came back just expired, no warrants.
-Boruchowitz: What is his name? -Tamra: James.
-Boruchowitz: James. Ford, do you wanna watch her?
We've got an ambulance coming. -Okay.
(radio chatter)
-Dispatch: Sounds fine. -Boruchowitz: What's your first name?
-James. -What is this about?
You have a failure to appear warrant.
-I don't know. I just...
-You what?
-I don't know. I just got scared, I guess.
-Boruchowitz: Scared of what?
You thought this was better than that?
-I wasn't thinking, man.
-Now you're hurt. Is that your girlfriend?
-My fiancée, yeah. -Fiancée?
She says, she told, begged you to stop.
-She's asking me to stop 'cause she didn't want me
To make it any worse than it already was.
-Boruchowitz: That was probably good advice,
Don't you think? -Yeah.
-Boruchowitz: What are you on tonight?
-Huh? -Boruchowitz: What are you on?
Nobody does this sober, I promise you.
Nobody does this sober.
-I smoked, I did a couple lines of cocaine
Earlier this morning and that was it though.
-Okay. Where were you planning on going?
-I don't know. I dunno.
I had no brakes, after a while the brakes were gone.
I couldn't stop. -Why are you driving
In the wrong lane of traffic?
-Just trying to-- -trying to hurt somebody?
-Just trying to get you guys stop following me.
-Did you think it was gonna work?
-I dunno what I thought.
Stupidest thing I ever done.
-Boruchowitz: Oh, there's no doubt about that.
You're lucky you didn't kill anybody or yourself.
The ambulance is here.
So we're gonna put you back in the car
Until we check on your girlfriend, okay.
-Alright.
-Dispatch: She's outside.
-You in?
-Boruchowitz: Ford, your first pursuit?
How do you feel about it? -It was definitely exciting.
-Boruchowitz: Yeah. -Yeah.
Got my blood pumping right now.
-You did a great job.
I mean, obviously it was intense
And this is somebody who's really not thinking straight.
Like he reported, he ultimately had no steering
And no braking because there's nothing left
For the vehicle to operate.
So just really not very smart.
Definitely destroyed his car in the process, so.
-James, you all right? -Yeah.
-Alright, so listen, we're gonna take you back to knight county
On your felony warrant
And for the charges that happened in
Knight county tonight.
And then you have a warrant here in clark county too.
And then ultimately you'll have the clark county charges
For damaging the fence on purpose and--
-It wasn't on purpose. I had no brakes, but yeah.
-Boruchowitz: Well. -The brakes went out on me so.
-Boruchowitz: But the no brakes part was on purpose, right?
By not stopping. -I had no brakes, I couldn't--
-Boruchowitz: I'm saying
By not stopping when we tried to stop you, right?
Alright. That's what's gonna happen, alright?
(car door slams)
-Operator: Control fusion, watch eight.
Just be advised we are atl'ing for that
Gold audi involved in the vehicle burglaries.
We have that vehicle on camera.
We have a suspect.
Looks like he's trying to get into a vehicle right now
At maryland parkway and flamingo.
So we have a bma in a white, long-sleeve hoodie.
He's broken the window on that white van.
He's pushing the glass away now.
Looks like he's gonna get in there.
(radio chatter)
There is a passenger in the gold audi
That's facing eastbound.
Control fusion, watch, he's in the van.
He's pulled out a backpack.
He's getting back in the audi.
We have california temp tag,
Looks like he is relocating now or we have units arriving,
Set up to pick him up on the southbound lanes
At maryland parkway and flamingo.
-(computer beeps) -(sirens blare)
-So we're in the area of a vehicle that's
Being broadcast in this parking lot right here.
It's a beige two-door audi.
It's involved in a auto burglary series.
There's at least 12, 13 cases assigned to it.
We have fusion watch giving us updates
That the suspect has just broken the window of a vehicle.
So we're gonna try to get 'em stopped.
Here it is, right there.
(auto beeps)
-Officer: Get out of the car! -(woman screams)
-Driver! Get your foot off!
Put your hands up! Get the door open!
-Po ii tyler aleiwe: They're giving the driver commands now.
Female's outta the vehicle. -Get outta the car!
Get outta the car!
You! You! Get off to the side!
-Aleiwe: Watch him. -Get outta the car.
-Officer: Put your hands behind your back.
-Aleiwe: Don't move, you understand?
-Don't move. -Look forward. Don't move.
-Who else is in that car?
-Just my daughter. -Come this way.
-Hey, how old is your daughter?
-Male suspect: Six months. -Spread your feet.
-Can I call somebody? -Aleiwe: Just spread your feet.
-Male suspect: Ain't got no guns or nothing.
-Aleiwe: We're just patting you down.
-Male suspect: My baby mother did not know what was going on.
She just so happened to be in the car.
I'll take the blame for everything.
-Aleiwe: Hey, are you good with him for a second?
-Yeah. -Aleiwe: Yeah, would you mind calling cps?
-Po ii b. Samuelson: Sure. -For the kid.
These two suspects are gonna be tied to 13 auto burglaries
Over the last couple weeks.
They're not going anywhere anytime soon.
They actually got into the van
And took a backpack
And a black wallet that we believed
To be in the passenger seat and the floor just outside
Of the passenger seat of the audi.
-My baby mother
And my daughter didn't have nothing to do with it.
-Okay, listen to me. Listen to me, alright.
I ain't dumb. Been doing this for a minute
And I know that she been with you this whole time.
She's been in that car every single time
You've been doing these licks, bro.
'cause I got her on camera
And I got still videos of her in the car.
So you can't tell me she ain't been in that car.
She don't know what's going on. She ain't dumb.
Like she might not be in there breaking those cars with you.
But you ain't gonna sit here and tell me she don't know what's up.
-No, she didn't.
-My question is, where is everything at?
-G, everything, I don't have anything.
I don't. -You stole laptops.
You stole cameras.
You just stole a backpack outta somebody's car.
-The backpack-- -so what'd you do with it then?
-The backpack is right in that car.
-What did you do with the laptop you stole yesterday?
-The other stuff, I threw it like,
I threw it. -No, you didn't.
You didn't steal it and throw it, dude.
-I mean we kind-- -listen. Listen.
See, you didn't break into 20-plus cars
And just throw the stuff away.
I got you on 20 separate felony charges.
And that's enough-- -you just said--
-You've committed enough auto burglaries
In the last 48 hours,
That'll probably send you to prison
Even though this is your first offense.
Okay, and this ain't your first offense
'cause you've been jammed up outta california, okay.
But you come out here to my city
And you start breaking into people's stuff
And stealing things-- -g, I swear to god,
I won't do it again. -I know you won't.
That's why we're here. -I won't do it again.
-That's the whole goal. -I promise you.
-But see what you just did,
It's not just you going down.
Now your baby mama taking a ride,
Your baby's going to cps,
And both y'all are going to jail.
Most people when they wanna feed their family,
What do they do?
They get a job, bro.
They start working. -Trust me.
-You start taking things from people--
-You just opened up my eyes. -Well, I hope they're open.
And I swear to god, dude,
I hope that this changes some things for you
Because this is just the beginning of a long ride.
When you get ready to start telling me the truth, we'll talk some more.
Just talked to your dude, right? What are you going to school for?
-Nursing. I have exams on Monday.
-You're going to school for nursing right now?
How far are you in?
-I'm like four months, about to have--
I have like four months to go.
Everything I do, I do for her.
-Are you working right now?
-Female suspect: No. -Just going to school?
-Female suspect: Yeah. That's all I can do.
I don't have no babysitters or nothing.
-Just you and the baby at home, that's it?
And then what, he comes to visit you from california?
-Yeah, to see her. -Okay.
I wanna know where everything he took is, okay.
He's trying to tell me he threw that stuff away.
-Because this is why, 'cause,
So he goes to back to california.
-Because he's lying to me.
-Okay. But he does throw away like the dell,
Like if he comes up on like,
He does throw away like stupid property like--
-Stuff he can't sell. -Yeah, basically.
-So where's the stuff that he didn't throw away at?
-He sold in california for sure.
He goes back. That's why he goes back.
-Well, but over the last two days
He's hit like 20 different cars.
-Yeah, he sold it to a mexican guy.
-Where's everything that he took over the last two days?
-He sold it to a mexican guy.
He sold it to a mexican dude?
-Yeah, that takes unlocked stuff.
-So what, he's out here in town and then he grabs it up
And sells it. -Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much.
-So every time he hits these cars at night,
He just offloads it. Is that what's going on?
-I guess. I don't really know about--
-Was you with him when he sold it to the mexican?
-No, that's what I'm saying.
Like, I don't really know about the process like that.
-Okay, but you know what's up?
-Yeah. He just basically like,
Gives me money, basically.
-So what, he's robbing these cars, right.
And he's selling the stuff he takes.
And then he just gives you the cash to take care of the baby.
You have literally ruined your future.
You want to be a nurse.
That's gonna be really, really hard to do
With a felony rap sheet.
Ain't nobody gonna hire you.
And that's just a fact.
I'm not threatening you at all.
I'm just giving you the facts.
-No, I know. -You're taking a ride.
We're gonna go back to my station.
I'm gonna talk to him first,
Then you and I are gonna have a conversation.
-Aleiwe: The money on my windshield wiper
Was in his hand when he got outta the car.
-Detective josh haynes: That's rent money, like 700 bucks away.
-Aleiwe: Yeah. -That's why they've been
Stealing laptops, cameras, medication,
Anything didn't get. -To sell.
-Reselling it to make rent and it's due.
So, I mean, that's exactly what's up.
What would've happened too is they would've made the rent
And then it would've went dark, then it just disappeared.
So this best-case scenario.
Had this not happened the way it did today,
We would've been out luck.
-Detective anthony jaeger: So I've been a cop almost 17 years.
I'm currently assigned to detectives.
Tonight, I'm out working a little bit of overtime.
The shift was short.
So they asked if I can come in and work.
Being a detective,
I don't get much time to be on patrol.
Due to the fact that I work robbery and homicide.
So it's nice once in a while to get out
And be able to put the uniform on
And make sure that it still fits.
Alright, so up ahead of us,
I just saw a car do an legal u-turn.
It's gonna be this maroon honda up here.
So we're gonna check him out, see what he did.
Hello? How you doing? -Drover: Fine.
-Detective jaeger, colton pda. I pulled you over
For that legal u-turn you did there, man.
-Driver: Damn, I knew it, man.
-Do you have your driver's license with you?
-I don't. I don't, sir.
-Do you have any id on you at all, brother?
-I have no id, brother. -No.
Can you turn the car off for me? You have no id on you at all.
-This actually my cousin's car. -That's cool. I'm not worried about the car, man.
Stay in the car.
Go and hop out. -Yeah.
-Just do me a favor, throw your hands right over there.
Don't reach in pockets for anything, brother.
We're gonna walk all the way back over here.
You on probation or anything? -No, sir.
-No. I wanna figure out who you are and what's going on.
There's three of you, one of me, okay.
You're not under arrest.
I'm just gonna detain you real quick, brother.
Hey, rear passengers, just quit reaching around, okay.
Who's in the back seat? -Driver: Nobody.
-Okay, who's in the front seat? -That's his best friend.
-What's your first name?
-Miguel. -Miguel what?
-Now that one, the hard copy one.
Yeah. -(indistinct)
-Okay, just sit right here, brother.
All the way down.
Put your feet out front of you, cross 'em.
Cross 'em. Extend 'em out.
-Oh, sorry.
-Jaeger: You mind pulling that passenger out.
You can have him walk back here. I'll have him. I'll check him.
Come here, back here, brother. -Jip: Walk back towards him.
-Jaeger: This way. Come on over here.
Alright, do me a favor, have a seat right here.
Does anybody in the car have a valid license?
-I'm not sure, but mine's not valid no more
'cause when that cop pulled me over,
He said that you have a baby warrant whatever.
-Jaeger: Come over here, brother.
Have a seat. How old are you brother?
-I'm 19. -Jaeger: 19.
Hey jip, you mind watching them for a second?
-Yep.
-Jaeger: Hey, is this your wallet, man?
-No, I think it has to be my cousin's.
It's her car.
-So the key kind of just slides in
And outta the ignition.
The car comes back to a person of redlands.
So I'm gonna send redlands police department
Over there to contact the owner.
See if she knows where her car is.
Whose pipe is this?
-It's hers. -It's whose?
-That's all her boyfriend's. All the tools, those are all her boyfriend's.
-Oh, it's okay.
-I've barely met him like
Three, four, five, four days ago.
-Jip: Hey, what's your real name, dude?
How come we can't find you? Have you ever had a driver's license?
-Yeah, they took it. -And she knows you have the car?
-Miguel: Yes, sir. -Okay.
Kind of weird that he'd drive a car
That belongs to his cousin, he says.
But, what's the bolt cutters for and the rubber gloves?
-Miguel: Nah, that's been in the car already.
-Really? Huh?
Obviously, he's lying about his name.
We know that.
So miguel, go ahead and hop up for me.
-I see this. -We're gonna walk over here, brother.
-Yes, sir.
-Jaeger: You lied to me about your name.
I'm not in the mood to play.
Lying to me is gonna give you a felony.
What's your first name? -Jonathan. Jonathan with a y.
-Jaeger: Spell it. -Y-o-n-t-h-a-n.
Instead of with a j, it's with a y.
-Jaeger: Okay, so it's y. -I just like jonathan.
-Just go for it, y. -O-n-a-t-h-a-n.
-Alright, dude if you got a dui warrant, bro,
What are you sweating?
-I don't know. I never, you know,
I never got in trouble, honestly, officer.
And I never got in trouble, no charges,
I finally, you know whatever, I came back out to the streets,
Hanging out with the wrong people, the wrong time.
And now I got in trouble.
But the dui was, you know, it was my fault actually.
Should've never smoked in the morning.
-Do you get dui drugs? -What is that?
I have to go to, that's the third time to get some classes.
-Okay, was it, you said dui.
So was it alcohol or drugs?
-It was, I think it was for the drugs, for marijuana.
-Okay. -I'm kind of like,
I don't know how you say, I'm like dumb.
Like when it comes to certain stuff like that,
You know what I'm saying?
'cause I never got arrested before, brother.
-I can tell you this. You guys are up to no good.
You're rolling around right now.
You got some bolt cutters on the front seat?
-No, all those tools are, that's from her boyfriend's.
-Okay. The meth pipe underneath your seat?
-Yeah. -Okay.
You got a dope problem? -No, I don't have none.
-Jaeger: Okay, so who has the dope problem?
-Ever since I got like,
I think it was two, three weeks ago,
Colton pd just,
They gave me a ticket too for having a pipe.
-Jaeger: So you got a dope problem. -So there's a (beep).
Honestly, I'm not, that's not a dope problem, honestly.
Like I just-- -listen, the only way
You can stop doing what you're doing
Is first you gotta admit you got a problem.
You can't fix something if you don't wanna admit you got a problem.
You keep denying
And telling yourself you don't have a problem.
-I mean, it's embarrassing, bro.
You know, I don't want to admit it, like, I do meth.
You know? Like, nah.
-Why? Everybody has problems.
-I know. It's fair.
-But if you keep lying to yourself
And telling yourself you don't have a dope problem.
And every time you get caught, you have dope, guess what?
You have a dope problem.
-I don't know why everything's been bad for me, officer.
-What's that?
-Everything's been going bad.
I haven't been-- -you know why?
Why do you think it's going bad for you?
-'cause I'm like slow. Like, I don't know.
Like I'm really slow.
Like, I don't know.
Like, I don't pay attention to time
And it's like, damn, time just goes by.
-Jaeger: You know why?
-I'm high? -Yep. Alright, do me a favor,
Go ahead and stand up for me.
Go, hey jip, he's gonna come back.
Go back over there and have a seat
Right where you were, alright.
Alright, so the driver,
He ends up having two warrants out of this county.
So we're gonna arrest him on those.
And then the front passenger
Also has a warrant as well.
So they'll both be going to jail tonight
For their warrants.
Alright, guys, so here's the bad news,
You're driving around in a car,
You got some bolt cutters on the front seat.
How's it look, right? You got a dope pipe in the car.
There's some other property that doesn't belong to you guys in there.
You two have warrants.
You don't. That's the good news.
So you two are gonna go to jail for your warrants tonight.
So I need you both to stand up.
Wanna stand up for me?
Go ahead and stand up over here.
-Yes, sir. -Yep. You got him, jip?
-Jip: Yeah. I got him.
-Just say seated for me, brother, okay?
-Miguel: What about the car?
-Jaeger: Well, we're gonna end up having to tow it.
So take it as learning lesson, my man, alright.
Good luck.
-(over radio): 132 and bush, I've got him at gun point.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Thanks, 10.
