-Announcer: "cops" is filmed on location
With the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law.
-Deputy james linn: I've been with
The sheriff's office about nine years now.
Great job, allows me lots of time with my family.
In my free time, I like to hang glide
And honestly, it's just an awesome feeling.
To be able to fly and feel like you're a bird.
Nothing quite matches that level of freedom.
Yeah, it allows me to hang tight with the family
And do one of my favorite activities.
-So we have a no-plate van in the encampment up here.
We're gonna conduct an enforcement stop
And see if we can talk to the driver.
(vehicle revving)
-Deputy kellen parker: Oh, he's not gonna stop. He's not gonna stop!
You got a target?
-Linn: Arming now.
(police siren starts)
Hey, put up, let's just do pursuit.
Oh, he's going wrong way.
-Parker: 3-28-00 point two,
There's no plates on the van.
No catalytic converter.
-Linn: Oh, his car died.
(police siren wailing)
East 12th at 16th avenue on a chrysler, no plates.
-Parker: And he's out on foot.
He's on foot bail, we got a foot bail.
(officer grunting)
-Linn: Sheriff's office! Stop!
One transit 12, he's on foot,
Back towards the burger king.
Sheriff's office! Stop, get on the ground!
Sheriff's office! Stop!
(heavy breathing)
(fire crackling)
So, he hasn't cleared that tree yet.
-Parker: Okay.
-Linn: One transit 12, we have him locked down in the area
Between both one-ways, 16th ave.
(police siren wailing)
Hey, car, car. (speaking in spanish)
Just park your car there.
I believe it's an hma wearing a gray hoodie,
Run from a car which leads me to believe it's stolen.
-Man (on radio): Give me the route to that.
-We got him pinned down right here.
I saw him last cutting back right here.
-Okay.
-All right, ready? -Yeah.
-All right.
(heavy breathing)
So, last saw him cutting under here.
Hey, he's right here.
Hey you, come out! Show me your hands!
-Deputy nathan mumbower: Come out!
-One transit 12, one at gunpoint.
Show me your hands! Crawl out on your face!
-Mumbower: I got him, I got him.
(suspect speaking indistinctly)
-Linn: Crawl out on your face over here.
Crawl out towards me!
-Mumbower: Crawl towards him.
-Linn: Crawl towards me!
-Suspect: Why are you chasing me.
-Crawl towards me! -Crawl out now!
-Suspect: Hey.
-Keep your hands up, buddy.
-Suspect: Look at my hands. You got the wrong guy.
-Linn: Come out towards me.
-Hey, the guy you want ran that way.
-Linn: Come out towards me.
-Oh, my god.
-Mumbower: Crawl out right now. Keep coming.
Keep coming. Keep coming.
Crawl, keep crawling.
-You got the wrong guy.
I'm telling you. The guy you want went that way.
-Hey, stay on the ground. -Stay down there.
-The guy you want ran that way!
Come on. What are you guys arresting me for?
-Linn: Why you outta breath, man?
-What do you mean? I'm not.
The guy you want ran that way.
Oh, my god. -Linn: Where's your hoodie at?
-What hoodie?
I'm telling you, the guy you want ran that way.
He told me "cops," so I started hiding.
-Sit up. Sit up. -Why are you guys chasing me?
-Alright, get up. -Stand up.
-I can't. Why are you guys chasing me?
-Parker: What color was the hoodie?
-Linn: It was gray.
So I saw the subject wearing a gray hoodie
Or a gray sweater
Which looks like we just got right here
Back underneath the structure
Where our suspect was found hiding.
-Suspect: That's not even mine.
-Linn: All right, let's walk up here. Come on.
-Suspect: Man, come on, man. You just missed the guy.
-No, I didn't.
-Yeah, you did. You got the wrong guy.
-Nah, I didn't, buddy.
From where I was standing, I could see down that street.
-I didn't even fricking see.
How do you know? Man, come on.
-Come on, buddy.
This isn't my first time doing this job, bud.
-Listen, I'm trying to tell you, you got the wrong guy.
I'm not that guy. And I don't know where you got that from.
-Got it back from directly where you were hiding,
That's all.
-Man, all I'm saying is you got the wrong guy, okay?
You couldn't have missed him 'cause he was right back there.
-Why's your foot bleeding, man? Is it because you were running?
-Suspect: No.
-Linn: I was the one chasing you, bud.
-Suspect: You weren't chasing me 'cause it wasn't me.
-Oh, come on, man. Why you gotta lie about stuff like that?
Have a seat for me, bud.
-Come on, man. You got the wrong guy, linn.
(suspect grunts)
-Linn: Okay. All right, just hang tight.
-Woman: That's my vehicle.
-Linn: I'm sorry.
-I have a ministry where I feed in the homeless encampment
And that's the vehicle that I use.
-I'm very sorry to hear that.
Somebody took your car that you're using
To help the community.
-Yeah, and it was loaded with a huge donation
That I just picked up.
I don't care about the food. I got my van back.
-Linn: Yeah. -Yeah.
-So it sounds like the car's not running right now
Which I'm sorry about.
You know, it sounds like you got aaa already coming?
-Yeah, yeah. -Okay.
-Suspect: Listen, you got the wrong guy.
-So just got a couple quick administrative things.
Do you wanna pursue a criminal complaint
Against the person for stealing your car?
-Most definitely. -Most definitely?
-Most definitely. -Sorry but... -All right, perfect.
He's in custody for a multitude of charges.
Stolen vehicle, there's a couple other charges
Associated with that stuff.
So that's just where we're at with that, okay? -Okay.
-And we're just gonna keep moving on with our investigation.
-Suspect: Come on, man. You ain't got no proof it was me.
-Linn: So why are you outta breath, man? -Deputy linn, please--
-'cause I was right behind you, man.
I saw you, I told you to stop, right?
You're on probation for being in a stolen car, correct?
-But where'd you get that jacket?
I didn't wear that jacket.
-Linn: Okay, man, that was the jacket that you ditched
That was right next to you.
-Right next to whom?
-Linn: It was right next to where you were laying.
-I don't even know what you're talking about.
I hid under there because I thought... I'm on probation.
-I'll tell you what, man,
Cooperation and honesty goes a long way with me.
-Suspect: I am cooperating.
-And I don't appreciate being lied to and called a liar.
So just hang tight, sit here,
And in a few minutes, I'll try talking to you again, okay?
-Come on. -Linn: All right, man.
So at this point, he's gonna be arrested for 10-8-51,
Which is stolen car, possession of stolen property,
Resisting, and it looks like he crashed the car
Into another vehicle, so hit and run as well.
So he's gonna go to jail for all those
And that's where we're at with him.
-Parker: Cool.
-Deputy jose gamboa: I still love doing this job, man.
I come in here and I try my best to prevent crime
From elevating and getting worse on a daily basis.
But mainly coming out here and showing our presence
And making sure that the community feels safe
And they see us out here protecting and serving.
All right, we're gonna pull over this motorcycle right now.
It seems like it's driving recklessly.
We're gonna stop and talk to him, see what he's all about.
Match two, the motorcycle's failing to yield.
(police siren wailing)
So I'll be in pursuit,
Be going westbound on east norris.
Speeds are at 50.
No peds, no traffic.
Standby, I believe it's off-roading now.
(police siren wailing)
(indistinct chatter on police radio)
Match two, the motorcycle's now going westbound
On norris approaching going back to manor.
Speeds are at 40.
No peds, very minor traffic.
Through the green on manor, now going northbound on manor.
Speeds are at 36, there's no peds, no traffic.
It's occupied by a hispanic male,
White shirt, gray shorts, black helmet.
Two-point-two, the motorcycle's now going...
Westbound on china grade loop.
Speeds are at 42, there's no traffic, no peds.
Subject's looked at me multiple times
And is still refusing to stop.
(using microphone speaker) hey, stop. Sheriff's office.
Pull over!
Speeds are at 58. There's no traffic, no peds.
Match two, I believe that I wanna go back to airport.
Now going eastbound on skyway, going back to airport.
Speeds are at 43.
(police sirens wailing)
Match two, is air lined up?
-Radio operator: Negative.
-Match two 10-4, southbound airport.
Speeds are at 46.
Still no peds and no traffic.
He's gonna be approaching norris now.
Match two, stand by for tc.
Let me see your hands! Turn around.
-(suspect protesting) -turn around!
-Officer: Get on your stomach now!
-Gamboa: Put your hands behind your back.
-Suspect: My hand's broken, my hand's broken, my hand's broken! Chill.
Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill! I'm sorry.
-Officer: Okay? -Suspect: Sorry, sorry, sorry.
My hand, please, please, please.
-Officer: Do not move. Do you understand?
-I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving.
-Officer: Let's search him. -I'm not moving.
-Officer: Do you have anything on you?
-Suspect: No, no, no, no. Just a knife, that's it.
Please, can you take the cuffs off my hands?
-Gamboa: Match two, negative on a tc,
The subject lost control.
-Suspect: I won't go anywhere, I promise. Please.
-Gamboa: Right, let's pick him up,
Put him in the back seat of a car.
-Suspect: No way, I can't stand up.
My hand, my hand, my hand!
-We're gonna help you up. -One, two, three.
-Ow! Ow!
-Gamboa: It seemed like he was gonna pull over right here
Turning onto manor.
And then he just flipped around and continued so...
And then he lost it right here
As he was trying to go westbound to airport.
I got it, dude, I got it.
How old are you, man? -Is his helmet back here?
I'll take it. -Gamboa: How old are you?
-Suspect: 16.
-You're 16? What's your name? Huh?
-Suspect: If you can give me my phone,
I could call my parents.
-What's your name? -Suspect: Rafael.
-What's wrong with your arm?
-I fell on it when I slid.
-Gamboa: Right now?
-Yes. Please, can you just loosen it or something.
It hurts really bad.
-Where's it hurting at?
-Eh? My ankle. Ow, ow, ow, right there.
-Your ankle or your wrist?
-My wrist, my wrist. My wrist hurts.
-Okay, well, we can't un-cuff you, okay.
We can't do that.
-Can you loosen it or something?
-We can try to loosen it, yeah,
But I can fit my whole finger in here
So it's not tight at all.
You just need to learn how to relax, okay?
Where do you live at?
-I don't know what my full address is.
-You don't know your full address?
You don't know where you live?
-I know where my house is, but I don't know--
-You don't know the address of your house?
-No.
-You ever been arrested before?
-No.
-Gamboa: Never been arrested before?
-I was trying to get home. I wasn't even doing anything.
-Gamboa: You were just trying to get home?
-Yes. I wasn't taunting you guys.
I wasn't doing wheelies or nothing.
I was just trying to get home, that's it.
-Okay, all right.
-Officer: Just have them check him out real quick.
We're gonna have the fire department
Check you out real quick, okay?
-I was driving northbound on manor.
He was like, busting wheelies behind me
And I had saw him earlier on union and california
Doing the same thing.
So I pulled over to the right
And as soon as he passed me,
I noticed he didn't have no license plate.
So I tried to pull him over.
He just turns around and just fails to yield.
-Guns it? -Yeah.
-Fireman: Where are you hurting?
-Suspect: My back.
-Your back? All right.
-He's getting medically clear right now.
We're still gonna have to transport him to juvenile hall.
Felony charges for evading.
-Paramedic: All right rafael,
These guys are gonna take you to get checked out, okay?
Aside from that wrist and that elbow,
Everything else is okay?
Got it.
-All right, we're gonna hook you up to the front.
I'm gonna click it once only, okay?
Up here, up here. Not in the wrist.
(handcuffs clinking)
Next time stop, okay?
-Suspect: I'm sorry.
-What's the worst that could have happened?
Could have towed your motorcycle, give you a ride home,
Called your mom.
-I know.
-Make smarter decisions. You're still young.
-Suspect: I know.
-You ever been in trouble before?
No? All right.
You don't wanna start off with a bad record. Okay?
Make better decisions, dude. Good luck.
-Suspect: Thanks.
-All right, he acknowledged he made a dumb mistake
So now he's gonna have to take the ride
For felony evading, so...
-Melero: Hopefully he learned from his mistakes.
And it changes him up. -Gamboa: Yeah.
-Master deputy caleb dixon: I started here in 2018.
It was a longtime goal of mine
To work here at the sheriff's office.
My stepdad worked here for about 20 years
And it was just a goal of mine growing up.
When I was a kid, I grew up hearing the stories
And I wanted to come be a part of the brotherhood
That they have and ride the same streets that he rode.
Right now we're about to stop this black honda here
For having a top center brake light out.
-(police radio beeps) -county road 4-2-10-48.
-Radio operator: Go ahead.
-We're at blakely and lee street.
I believe it's a honda, three inside.
(indistinct police radio chatter)
How y'all doing? -Passengers: Good, how are you doing?
-Good. I'm caleb with the sheriff's office.
Does your window roll down, bud? -Driver: No, sir, it don't.
-You wanna open your door?
There you go.
Hey, real quick, the reason I stopped you
Is your top center brake light's out, all right?
-Top right here? -The top center one,
Like the one right behind where his head is.
-Oh, I didn't know that.
-Yeah. You got your driver's license on you, my man?
(police radio chatter)
Y'all got a little bit of weed in the car?
I smell it. -You smell?
-Passenger: No. -We had smoked the blunt.
-Passenger: Yeah, that was it.
-Dixon: You said no, he said maybe.
-Nah we just smoked a blunt, that was all.
-Passenger: Yeah, that was it, sir.
-It was earlier, I ain't done no more.
-You got yours ready, my man? -Yeah, I got my id.
-If you've got something small,
It's nothing for me to stress over.
-Passenger: I don't, sir.
-Any weapons in the car or guns?
-No, sir. -No, no.
-I don't got id, I'll give you my name, though. -Dixon: That'll be fine.
You got anything with your name on it? -Yes, sir.
-Dixon: Thank you, sir.
All right, y'all wanna step out here real quick?
-Driver: Yes, sir.
-I'm gonna get you to step back here to the front for me.
Just hang tight right here for me.
Will y'all put your hands on the bar for me?
I'll be right back with you.
(shuffling feet)
(radio beeping)
Got one gone! Bravo mike white shirt.
(bleep) get down here!
(indistinct police radio chatter)
You're not getting over. I'm about to tase you.
Get down here.
-Okay, okay. -Get down here.
-Okay, hold on. Let me breathe.
-Man: Yo, chill, bro. Yo, chill, dog.
-Get out the car!
Get on the ground. Both of y'all lay down.
-Passenger: Lay down?
-Dixon: Lay down on the ground before you make it worse.
-Passenger: I just gotta pee, officer.
-Radio operator: Blakely and lee?
-I wanna get down, I wanna get down.
-Dixon: Tell the city unit right here at the stop sign,
We're at 83.
Get on the ground, on the ground.
-Passenger: Man, he can't be breathing.
-Get on the ground.
(police sirens wailing)
What are you running for?
-Suspect: I thought they had a warrant on me.
-You think you have a warrant?
-No. I don't know, I went to court.
-Put your hands behind your back.
Put your other hand behind your back.
I got this one.
Put your other hand behind your back.
Right hand.
-Let me do it.
(handcuffs clinking)
-Dixon: Detain the other two.
-Officer: I got it.
-So you think you have a warrant? That's why you ran.
Stand up.
-Suspect: I'm trying to.
-Officer: You good? -Dixon: Oh yeah, I'm good.
He got hung up on the fence.
I need a car. I need a car to put him in.
Is that your real id you gave me?
-Suspect: Yes, sir. -Have a seat.
Watch your head.
Is that the only reason you ran? Tell me now.
-Yes, sir.
-I appreciate you sticking around.
Why was he running?
-Passenger: I don't know.
We were trying to go home.
We were just trying to take him home.
-So why's he running?
-I don't know. That I don't know, officer.
I'm just trying to go home. He's trying to get home.
-Dixon: Who is he to you?
-Driver: He's just a friend. -Just your friend?
Anything y'all wanna tell me about in the car?
Be honest.
-Driver: I mean, I got a blunt in the ashtray.
-Okay. That's it?
Anything you wanna tell me about?
You was digging in the floorboard when I walked up.
-Yeah, I was getting my wallet out
So I can hand you my license and my registration.
-Dixon: Nothing else you wanna tell me about?
Now's your chance.
-Passenger: I just have my little smoking sack.
-A sack of weed? Where's it at?
-In my purse. -It's in your purse?
-Hey, master deputy dixon,
I believe there's some signal 25 in the vehicle.
-Dixon: What kind?
-I don't know yet. Just seen a big old baggie.
-Dixon: What kind? -I just seen a big bag.
-Dixon: Well, there wasn't nothing in the back seat
When I put him back here.
Find out if he ingested anything.
Right now it's just a bag stuffed in the seat here.
The seat, obviously it wasn't like this
Before we put him back here.
Right here, it's probably gonna be trafficking weight
Of either methamphetamines or some kind of cocaine.
I found it.
It was stuffed under the patrol seat.
We search our seats before and after shift so...
-It ain't mine.
-Dixon: Well, it's gonna be yours today, bud.
That's what he was running for.
You don't have any warrants.
You are under arrest, okay?
-Okay.
-Dixon: I'll let you know what your charges are
In just a few minutes.
-Okay.
-Dixon: You wanna tell me what this is before I test it?
It came outta your pocket
So there ain't no saying it ain't yours.
-Suspect: I don't know what that is.
-Dixon: You don't know what it is?
Probably gonna be a crack rock.
This actually came out of his front pocket.
Feels like it's gonna be a crack rock.
We'll check his criminal history,
See if he's got any priors.
All right, here's the deal.
I know you say it's not yours
But I know that it wasn't back here when we started shift
But right now you're being charged with trafficking
In methamphetamine and we're gonna pursue the possession
Of crack cocaine, okay?
That's what your charges are right now.
I'm not doing resisting arrest or anything like that
But you are gonna take those two charges, okay?
Do you have any questions for me?
-Suspect: No, I don't have any.
-All right.
Will you just throw all that in his property please, sir?
Thank you, sir. All right, here's the deal.
You're getting a warning since you're technically driving.
-Okay.
-Defective brake light, all right?
It's just a warning. No points, no fine, no court date.
It's your vehicle, so you need to get it fixed, okay?
You could have avoided all that if you didn't,
You know, if you didn't have the brake light out.
-Yeah. -Again, I appreciate y'all not running, not fighting,
Not causing a scene.
It means more than you know.
Unfortunately, the amount of drugs he had on him,
He's gotta take a ride. -Passenger: Yeah.
-Y'all are gonna be listed in the report
Just as the driver and the passenger.
There's no charges, okay?
We're gonna destroy that weed.
-Driver: All right, I appreciate it.
-Dixon: All right, I'm not gonna hassle you over that
Since y'all cooperated with us.
Thank y'all again. Have a good night and be safe.
-(over radio): 132 and bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Thanks, 10.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code three.
-(theme music playing)
