Narrator: This special edition of "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.
We're going to a guy.
It started out as a check well-being
Of a male banging on a door at a business with a knife.
Officers tried to contact him, and he took off on foot.
So we're trying to come from the south
And cut him off and check on him and see what's going on
And why he's acting erratic.
I'm clear.
All right, so we're going to be out with the male right here.
What's going on today?
Why don't you just come here and talk to us?
You're not in trouble.
[indistinct speech]
Hailey seaton: Listen, man, I'm just trying to check on you
And make sure you're all right.
No, you're not.
I told you, I've told three--
I've told law enforcement today.
Hailey seaton: We just need to check on you
And make sure you're ok.
I'm perfectly fine.
Am I not talking loud enough through the wall?
Hailey seaton: I am.
But you haven't stopped and listened to us.
I'm fine.
What have I done? Hailey seaton: I don't know.
We have charges.
What have I done with all of you?
We're just here to check on you.
I'm [bleep] running my life.
We're here to help protect you.
No, you're not.
You're not.
I told you, I'm fine.
How many times do I've got to say, I'm fine?
What's your name?
Just stop and talk to us--
Stop there, ok?
Hailey seaton: --Ok?
I'm relaxed.
As long as you stop and talk to us--
Stop right there.
--Then we can go away.
[indistinct speech]
Roll your window up.
Get out of the way.
All right, you guys remain--
Do you think he still doesn't have anything
As far as charge yet, right?
Oh, no, no.
Huh?
No.
We got some traffic theft.
Police officer (on radio): 2-10 to those units.
We have unlawful use.
He was waving the knife around.
Hailey seaton: Ok.
Hey, get on your feet.
You get on your--
Get on the ground!
[grunts]
Get on the ground!
Get on he ground!
Ow, ok.
Stop!
Get on your back! Get on your stomach!
I'll never let him go.
- Get on your stomach. - Go on.
Go ahead.
Police officer (on radio): We chased on foot.
Now, what have I done, sir?
Unlawful use of a weapon.
Suspect: I have not used in a--
I have not used a weapon.
A knife is a weapon.
Suspect: I have not used it.
Are you telling me, I can't have a knife or a tool?
Well, you can't-- you cannot wave it around, no.
Suspect: No way, I promise you, I did not wave.
I asked that man five times.
They had to check that camera before this happened.
Police officer (on radio): Channel was released.
Suspect: I begged him to get a sergeant.
I begged him to let me stand my ground.
There's a stand your ground law.
And then I went through--
Ok, I think that's all right--
Because he charged me.
He got the same-- repeating the same thing over and over.
Are you fine, sir? Are you fine, sir?
I can't [indistinct] the taser.
And he was not listening to me.
Hailey seaton: Well, he's a police officer.
So he has the right not to listen to me?
Hailey seaton: You need to listen to him and us.
Suspect: Is it his duty?
He was doing his duty.
You charge people stuff.
You should check the charge.
Hailey seaton: Ok.
Before he goes on zooming, you check the charge.
Do you have any id on you, buddy?
Hailey seaton: Yeah, what's your name?
If you've done the proper manner--
Hailey seaton: Hey! Ok, come on, roll over.
Police officer: Roll over on your butt.
Can you all get this off?
All right, that's--
There's a thing out of my butt.
You want to sit up, and we can get him out, ok?
I could have got back up earlier.
I'm not-- - you're going to sit up?
There you go.
I'm gonna prove to y'all that I'm not trying
To resist you guys, because--
Now I'm bleeding.
There's blood.
Well, that's because you hit the ground.
Yeah, absolutely.
You guys hit me with the big one.
Hailey seaton: Well, that kind of happens when you don't stop
And we tell you to stop.
I stand right back up, but I'm not trying to get shot today.
You guys were worried about my knife, and I was getting--
Well, we were. We were.
I was trying to get rid of that
Before you guys got there and set it on the ground.
That's why I took it off my belt.
And I was trying to explain that to the officer.
Ok, well, when officers tell you to stop--
He hit me in spirit, and I--
When officers tell you to stop--
Well, when somebody assaults me in the spirit with a demon--
Ok, well, I can't do anything about a soul--
I haven't done anything.
I haven't been charged anything.
But when an officer tells you to stop, you have to stop.
He was at an establishment here around the corner.
He would went in for a coffee, but didn't have enough money
Or along those lines.
He started getting upset with the staff.
He sat down, started waving the knife,
Started talking to himself, started yelling at everybody
That was walking around, waving the knife around
While we were sitting down.
And they were able to get him out of the store
And they shut the door on him, locked him out.
And then we made contact with him.
And we were able-- finally able to get
Him close enough that we could tase him and go from there.
So this was in his left pocket.
Chad eutsler: You're under arrest for unlawful use
Of a weapon, ok?
So you'll go into the greene county jail, all right?
Unlawful use of a weapon?
And how did I unlawfully use a weapon?
Did I present or threaten you or even
Touch or reach for my weapon?
Well, that's something the investigation--
No, you're the one arresting me.
I asked you, sir.
Do you think I pulled a weapon or reached for a weapon today?
Did I use a weapon?
Chad eutsler: It's what the witnesses are saying, so--
What witnesses? Chad eutsler: Well, I--
I--
I like to file a habeas corpus.
Chad eutsler: All right.
So we can do that.
It's harassment.

Nicholas barnes: You got some warrants.
I do?
Nicholas barnes: Or a pick up, at least.
For what?
Nicholas barnes: I'll have to look.
We'll find out here in a minute.
Male suspect: All right.
Why [indistinct] is, uh--
Because you're being detained because your car
Just rolled away, and you tried to let him out to run.
Female suspect: No way! - That's why.
- No, he is trying to-- - yes, hos.
He's knocking--
James hale: He got out, tried to run.
You hopped out and started charging us.
No, because you're--
James hale: That's why you're being detained.
Well, y'all literally just did all of this.
Like, I'm like--
Yeah, he's running because he knows he's wanted.
Ok, but what has that got to do with me?
Like, I'm so scared right now.
James hale: Hey, you want to hang
Tight with her for a second?
Because soon as he saw us, he started throwing stuff back
Here and all over this car.
So this is sor orlando's car.
He's been doing a lot of recent thefts
For sporting goods stores, for ammunition, firearms.
He's got a federal warrant for stealing
A firearm from a pawnshop.
So we know this vehicle to be--
Huh? - Atf?
Yeah, atf.
So this vehicle is associated with him.
We got a traffic violation on him.
And as soon as we lit him up, he hopped out and tried to run.
I popped him with a taser and got a good lock up.
But she tried hopping out too because she
Knew he was going to run.
So she charged at us.
The car actually rolled that way, popped the curb right there
And came to a stop.
Nicholas barnes: All right, swing in there,
And I'll talk to you in a minute, ok?
Ems should be here, and we'll get you checked out.
Anything hurt? - Well--
Oh, they're here right now.
What'd you say I have a warrant for?
Uh, you got a couple of warrants
For theft and then a federal warrant through the atf, ok?
What's that?
I-- I will have to see.
I got to look it up.
I didn't write the cases.
We'll look them up and talk to you.
Do you have someone that can give you a ride?
Female suspect: No. Why?
Nicholas barnes: We're impounding this car.
Why?
You just told me.
You literally just--
Nicholas barnes: That's a decision way above me.
All right, my man.
So today, you're going to jail for-- you
Have your federal warrant.
You've got a misdemeanor pick up for petty theft.
So stealing, larceny.
And then, you trying to run right here, ok?
We got to book you on trying to run, ok?
So, evading, elude?
- It's called obstruct. - Obstruct?
Yep.
That's it, my man.
Obstruct, basically, you run from us.
We told you to stop and you didn't.
Yeah, running from the cops.
Ok, ok, I understand that.
What'd you run for?
Just-- I don't know.
This is my first instinct, you know.
James hale: To run? - Yeah, it is.
You know what I'm saying?
Where I come from, you know, that's-- that's what
We're taught.
James hale: My, man, if you didn't run,
You wouldn't have got tased.
I understand that. I know it.
You save yourself a little bit of pain.
Yeah, yeah.
Flight or fight response.
James hale: Well, you know, hopefully next time,
You don't run, my man, and learn a life lesson, ok?
Definitely, definitely.
All right.
I love you.
Police officer (on radio): 146, are you holding in traffic?

It's a 60 day tag.
Looks like a green honda.
Suspicious vehicle in the area of skinner and broadway.

So they're definitely--
We're going to be going northbound, larkin.
And he's hit the curb, but he's going to keep going.
Speeds are 30.
He's having car trouble.
It looks like he's having trouble getting above 40.
Continuing eastbound.
His tire is flat.
He's running on a rim right now.
Munger and--
He's bailing.
