[narrator] In
Washington State,
2
00:00:09,862 --> 00:00:12,965
an off-duty officer spots
a wanted criminal.
3
00:00:12,965 --> 00:00:15,551
He said, "Hey, I'm looking
at Sal right now."

- [woman] Get out of my car!

[narrator] ...police are called
to a woman driving recklessly.
11
00:00:35,275 --> 00:00:37,206
The last thing any police
officer wants to do
12
00:00:37,206 --> 00:00:38,862
is fire their weapon
in the line of duty.
13
00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:39,862
[narrator] And in Florida...
14
00:00:41,137 --> 00:00:43,379
We know that
we are on a manhunt
15
00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:44,793
for at least one individual.
16
00:00:44,793 --> 00:00:47,896

[police officer yelling]
20
00:01:01,068 --> 00:01:02,551
[narrator] In
Washington State,
21
00:01:02,551 --> 00:01:04,689
just south of
the Canadian border,
22
00:01:05,586 --> 00:01:07,655
is the coastal city
of Moses Lake.
23
00:01:11,793 --> 00:01:13,206
Detective Curt Ledeboer
24
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:15,482
has been with the Moses
Lake Police Department
25
00:01:15,482 --> 00:01:16,758
for more than 10 years.
26
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,137
[Ledeboer] Being a police
officer in my home community,
27
00:01:20,137 --> 00:01:22,448
I feel is very gratifying.
28
00:01:22,448 --> 00:01:24,689
We've come across people
who are in trouble,
29
00:01:24,689 --> 00:01:25,862
for whatever reason,
30
00:01:25,862 --> 00:01:27,551
and they see somebody
that they're familiar with,
31
00:01:27,551 --> 00:01:28,689
I think it helps.
32
00:01:33,586 --> 00:01:36,172
I was with my family
at a school event.
33
00:01:36,172 --> 00:01:37,655
We were out there,
just having a good time.
34
00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,000
While we were there,
35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,689
I observed a person walk
36
00:01:41,689 --> 00:01:44,241
into the barbecue area
who I was familiar with.
37
00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:46,827
His full name is
Salvador Harguindeguy.
38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,068
I knew he had been
causing a problem
39
00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:52,793
for our patrol officers
for the last couple of months.
40
00:01:53,517 --> 00:01:55,137
So I contacted Sergeant Jones,
41
00:01:55,137 --> 00:01:57,655
who was working on as
supervisor that day,
42
00:01:57,655 --> 00:01:59,344
to check to make sure
Mr. Harguindeguy
43
00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:01,103
in fact had
outstanding warrants,
44
00:02:01,103 --> 00:02:03,655
or probable cause
for his arrest.
45
00:02:03,655 --> 00:02:06,413
[Jones] I received
a phone call from
Detective Ledeboer,
46
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:10,000
and he said, "Hey, I'm looking
at Sal right now."
47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,758
[narrator] Detective Ledeboer
has reason to be cautious.
48
00:02:13,827 --> 00:02:15,482
[Ledeboer] Sal's criminal
background involves
49
00:02:15,482 --> 00:02:17,758
drug sales,
firearms trafficking,
50
00:02:17,758 --> 00:02:20,448
and association with
violent criminals.

[officer speaking]
53
00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:39,310
[Jones] In January of 2020,
54
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:41,827
one of our officers
responded to an incident
55
00:02:41,827 --> 00:02:45,000
where he was involved
and a shot was fired.
56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,620
The vehicle was impounded.
57
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,482
The firearm was located.
58
00:02:48,482 --> 00:02:51,827
Another circumstance,
I came in contact with
him myself.
59
00:02:53,379 --> 00:02:56,068
In 2021, we had
a call for service.
60
00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:57,241
Two guys fighting,
61
00:02:57,241 --> 00:03:00,724
one person was supposed
to be armed with a firearm.
62
00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:03,551
Myself and one
of my team members
arrived on the scene.
63
00:03:04,551 --> 00:03:07,310

- [suspect speaking]
- [Sal speaking]
70
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,551
[Jones] So we
separated everybody.
71
00:03:26,551 --> 00:03:28,793
Paul looked in the car
and could see the firearm
72
00:03:28,793 --> 00:03:30,655
sticking out from
underneath the seat.
73
00:03:33,137 --> 00:03:34,172

[Sal speaking]
84
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:59,413
[Jones] We took him
into custody at that time,
85
00:03:59,413 --> 00:04:01,965
knowing that he was
a convicted felon,
86
00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:05,068
and couldn't be in
possession of a firearm.
87
00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:09,482
[narrator] Salvador
Harguindeguy was arrested
again in April, 2021,
88
00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:12,275
when an officer caught him
driving without a license.
89
00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:24,310
And again,
Harguindeguy had a gun.

[narrator] Putting
Harguindeguy in jail
99
00:04:44,103 --> 00:04:47,172
has proved complicated
for officers.
100
00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:50,275
[Ledeboer] Salvador
Harguindeguy is
a savvy criminal,
101
00:04:50,275 --> 00:04:53,965
that knows to constantly
be on the move.
102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,482
He knows that if
he says certain things
103
00:04:56,482 --> 00:04:58,620
that he might
have the potential
104
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,586
of being released
or not going to jail.
105
00:05:02,034 --> 00:05:03,896
[Sal speaking]

[Sal speaking]
108
00:05:15,724 --> 00:05:16,931
[officer] Okay.
109
00:05:16,931 --> 00:05:19,241
[Jones] He has brought up
that he has some type
110
00:05:19,241 --> 00:05:21,344
of pre-existing
coronary problem.
111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,896
That is of great concern
112
00:05:24,896 --> 00:05:26,758
to any type of
correctional facility,
113
00:05:26,758 --> 00:05:29,965
because once they have
custody of that individual,
114
00:05:29,965 --> 00:05:32,551
if something does happen
to them medically,
115
00:05:32,551 --> 00:05:34,517
then they're going
to be responsible
116
00:05:34,517 --> 00:05:36,413
to make sure that
that's addressed,
117
00:05:36,413 --> 00:05:38,931
and that can be a very
expensive process.
118
00:05:38,931 --> 00:05:40,965
He was becoming more
and more dangerous,
119
00:05:40,965 --> 00:05:44,482
and he needed
to be put in custody.
120
00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:48,068
[Lederboer] Mr. Harguindeguy
is a convicted felon
121
00:05:48,068 --> 00:05:49,896
who is still showing
a propensity
122
00:05:49,896 --> 00:05:51,758
to regularly possess firearms,
123
00:05:51,758 --> 00:05:53,137
so there's an inherent danger
124
00:05:53,137 --> 00:05:55,551
that he's at the school
with a firearm.
125
00:05:55,551 --> 00:05:59,310
[Jones] He had several
very serious warrants
for his arrest.
126
00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:02,896
It had the potential to be
a catastrophic event.
127
00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:04,758
[Ledeboer] I knew
he had demonstrated
128
00:06:04,758 --> 00:06:07,275
a lack of cooperation
with law enforcement.
129
00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:09,586
I knew Sal was not gonna
respond to his summons
130
00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:11,517
to the courthouse
to just turn himself in.
131
00:06:11,517 --> 00:06:14,379
[Jones] He's at a school,
at a family event.
132
00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:18,344
Our biggest concern
would be that he would
involve innocents,
133
00:06:18,344 --> 00:06:21,241
in whatever his activity
that took place,
134
00:06:21,241 --> 00:06:23,689
trying to get away
from law enforcement.
135
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:26,413
[Ledeboer] Being off-duty,
I felt that the best route
136
00:06:26,413 --> 00:06:29,448
for me was to just
relay to fully marked,
137
00:06:29,448 --> 00:06:31,000
fully visible police officers.
138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,551
I did not believe
it's in the best interests
of the school
139
00:06:33,551 --> 00:06:35,103
or anybody's family,
140
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:39,724
to make any overt
action on my own.
141
00:06:39,724 --> 00:06:43,137
[Jones] I'm driving
to the scene where
Mr. Harguindeguy is,
142
00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:46,827
trying to coordinate both
on radio and via phone
143
00:06:46,827 --> 00:06:49,482
with all the assets that
we were going to need
144
00:06:49,482 --> 00:06:51,689
to do this as
safely as possible.
145
00:06:57,103 --> 00:06:58,965
[Salazar] We park our
vehicle on the street.
146
00:07:00,137 --> 00:07:02,103
It's me and Detective Ramirez.
147
00:07:02,103 --> 00:07:04,137
And we exit our vehicle
148
00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:06,448
and proceed to start
walking into the school.
149
00:07:09,275 --> 00:07:11,482
[Jones over radio]
150
00:07:15,103 --> 00:07:17,586
[chatter inside school]
151
00:07:19,344 --> 00:07:22,241
[Jones] I parked
to the west of the school
on an access road.
152
00:07:23,379 --> 00:07:25,758
We were making
final adjustments
153
00:07:25,758 --> 00:07:28,379
to where the perimeter
units were.
154
00:07:28,379 --> 00:07:31,517
I knew Corporal Lopez
was on his way in,
155
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:35,344
and knew that
Detective Salazar
and Corporal Ramirez
156
00:07:35,344 --> 00:07:38,103
were in the parking lot,
and were heading in.
157
00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:43,517
Corporal Lopez is one of our
school resource officers.
158
00:07:43,517 --> 00:07:47,103
So he went in, and then
his presence, I think,
159
00:07:47,103 --> 00:07:48,965
was the final straw
for Harguindeguy.
160
00:07:48,965 --> 00:07:50,758
He saw a uniformed officer,
161
00:07:50,758 --> 00:07:53,965
and his instincts to run
kicked in immediately.
162

[officer speaking]
164
00:08:06,931 --> 00:08:08,379
[Salazar] As we're walking in,
165
00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:10,482
we maybe made it
five or six paces
166
00:08:10,482 --> 00:08:11,931
before over the radio,
167
00:08:11,931 --> 00:08:15,068
somebody calls out that
Salvador is running.
168
00:08:19,724 --> 00:08:23,517
[Jones] He just basically
ran out the side door
on the west side.
169
00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:27,344
Which means that he was
coming in my direction.
170
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:35,413
I started slowly
rolling forward.
171
00:08:39,172 --> 00:08:41,758
And then he popped out.
172
00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:45,172
He immediately
recognized the patrol
vehicle coming at him,
173
00:08:45,172 --> 00:08:48,137
which caused Harguindeguy
to change directions and flee.
174
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:52,827
[Salazar] As I'm running
back into my vehicle
175
00:08:52,827 --> 00:08:55,482
to get in, I'm thinking,
"This sucks."
176
00:08:55,482 --> 00:08:58,965
And I'm thinking,
"God, I hope he doesn't
get away from us.
177
00:08:58,965 --> 00:09:02,275
I hope he doesn't
find a crack to hide in,
or something like that."
178
00:09:04,551 --> 00:09:06,413
[Jones] I turned
with the anticipation
179
00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:09,137
that he would continue
in one of two directions.
180
00:09:20,172 --> 00:09:22,724
I could see him
off to the south,
181
00:09:22,724 --> 00:09:24,413
and he was at a dead run
182
00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:26,862
towards the four-foot
perimeter fence
183
00:09:26,862 --> 00:09:29,827
of the school yard,
which he vaulted over.
184
00:09:29,827 --> 00:09:31,620
And then he continued
185
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,965
through a big, open
construction area.
186
00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:37,965
My worst fear was that
there was anybody
187
00:09:37,965 --> 00:09:40,689
that he may harm in
the process of getting away.
188
00:09:42,965 --> 00:09:45,931
[Jones over radio]
189
00:09:52,965 --> 00:09:55,068
[Salazar] Sergeant Jones
went right, and I went left.
190
00:09:55,068 --> 00:09:56,896
We were both looking for paths
191
00:09:56,896 --> 00:10:00,172
to come down that
embankment, that drop-off.
192
00:10:00,172 --> 00:10:01,827
[police sirens wailing]
193
00:10:03,793 --> 00:10:05,448
He had changed directions,
194
00:10:05,448 --> 00:10:09,172
and was running towards
a woman standing outside
of a running car.
195
00:10:09,172 --> 00:10:10,655
[police siren wailing]
196
00:10:10,655 --> 00:10:13,034
[Jones speaking]
197
00:10:18,241 --> 00:10:21,689
I knew that he was
going to try to access
that vehicle and flee.
198
00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:26,482
He's running straight at her,
at the open car door.
199
00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:30,310
And I had no idea what
he was going to do to her,
200
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,206
to take control of that car.
201
00:10:32,206 --> 00:10:36,344
I just noticed a man
running down the hill.
202
00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:39,172
I had my two younger
children in the back seat,
203
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:41,724
strapped into their car seats.
204
00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:44,551
My initial reaction
at that moment was
something was wrong.
205
00:10:44,551 --> 00:10:46,275
[sirens wailing]
206
00:10:47,241 --> 00:10:49,103
[Jones yelling]
207
00:10:49,103 --> 00:10:50,965
- [Kendra yelling]
- [horn honks]
208
00:10:50,965 --> 00:10:53,655
[grunting]
209
00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:57,448
- [Jones yelling]
- [Sal yelling]
210
00:10:59,379 --> 00:11:02,379
- [Sal yelling]
- [Jones yelling]
211
00:11:04,758 --> 00:11:07,758
- [both yelling]
- [horn honking]
212
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:11,517
[Jones yelling]
213
00:11:11,517 --> 00:11:14,827
[Jones] My greatest fear
was that he was going
to get the car in gear
214
00:11:14,827 --> 00:11:17,275
and drag her under the car,
215
00:11:17,275 --> 00:11:20,793
or he was going to do
something to that woman
216
00:11:20,793 --> 00:11:23,103
to try to get her off of him.
217
00:11:23,103 --> 00:11:26,379
[Kendra] Fear set over me.
Anger set over me.
218
00:11:26,379 --> 00:11:28,896
All I knew was that
my children were there.
219
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:30,482
And I just knew I needed
to get my kids out.
220
00:11:36,758 --> 00:11:39,137
[police sirens wailing]
221
00:11:41,724 --> 00:11:43,137
[Jones yelling]
222
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:46,275
[Kendra] That there
was someone in my car,
trying to take my car.
223
00:11:46,275 --> 00:11:48,172
And my two kids
are in the car,
224
00:11:48,172 --> 00:11:51,137
and they cannot get
out of their seatbelts.
225
00:11:51,137 --> 00:11:54,517
So I was able to get
the passenger door open,
226
00:11:54,517 --> 00:11:57,000
and grab the car seat
with my son in it,
227
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,827
and hand him off
to another parent,
228
00:11:59,827 --> 00:12:03,620
and I was able to go around
the back of the car
229
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:05,172
to the passenger side,
230
00:12:05,172 --> 00:12:08,103
and grab my daughter
out of the very back
seat of the car.
231
00:12:11,344 --> 00:12:13,793
[Salazar] Pulling up,
getting out of my vehicle,
232
00:12:13,793 --> 00:12:17,137
I kept telling my brain
to push my body faster
than it could go,
233
00:12:17,137 --> 00:12:19,827
because I couldn't get
there quick enough.
234
00:12:19,827 --> 00:12:22,620
I need to get Sergeant Jones
out of harm's way,
235
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:25,103
and I need to
get this criminal
236
00:12:25,103 --> 00:12:28,379
in custody before
he hurts anyone.
237
00:12:28,379 --> 00:12:30,965
Sergeant Jones and I
are pretty deep into
the vehicle.
238
00:12:31,758 --> 00:12:33,862
If he gets the car in reverse,
239
00:12:33,862 --> 00:12:35,551
and he starts to drag us,
240
00:12:35,551 --> 00:12:37,448
it's gonna be
a bad day for us.
241
00:12:37,448 --> 00:12:40,206
I didn't know at the time,
but there was two small
children in the car,
242
00:12:40,206 --> 00:12:43,758
but I was focused on removing
the threat from the vehicle.
243
00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:47,103
[Sal yelling]
244
00:12:47,103 --> 00:12:49,241
- [officer yelling]
- [Sal yelling]
245
00:12:49,241 --> 00:12:51,620
- [Jones yelling]
- [Sal yelling]
246
00:12:54,413 --> 00:12:57,206
- [Jones yelling]
- [Sal yelling]
247
00:12:58,724 --> 00:13:00,931
[Salazar] Sergeant Jones
pulled on Salvador's legs,
248
00:13:00,931 --> 00:13:02,896
and I pulled on the back
of his neck and arm,
249
00:13:02,896 --> 00:13:05,034
and we yanked him out
of the vehicle at that point.
250
00:13:06,413 --> 00:13:08,448
Salvador fell on the ground,
251
00:13:08,448 --> 00:13:10,862
he proceeded to roll
onto his stomach,
252
00:13:10,862 --> 00:13:13,482
and Salvador's arm
went under his body,
253
00:13:13,482 --> 00:13:15,793
which for me, that was
a very bad sign.
254
00:13:16,793 --> 00:13:18,448
Salvador was known
to carry firearms.
255
00:13:19,241 --> 00:13:23,793
- [Sal yelling]
- [Jones yelling]
256
00:13:23,793 --> 00:13:24,965
[Salazar] It reaches
a certain point
257
00:13:24,965 --> 00:13:27,310
when you're dealing with
a violent, aggressive suspect,
258
00:13:27,310 --> 00:13:29,068
that you have to use force.
259
00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:33,275
So I delivered a strike
to Salvador's ribcage.
260
00:13:33,275 --> 00:13:35,586
And after that,
he began to comply,
261
00:13:35,586 --> 00:13:36,896
and put his arms
behind his back.
262
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,034
[Salvador] Ow!
263
00:13:47,482 --> 00:13:48,551
[Sgt. Jones speaking]
264
00:13:48,551 --> 00:13:49,586
[Det. Salazar speaking]
265
00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:50,793
[Sgt. Jones speaking]
266
00:13:50,793 --> 00:13:52,103
- [Salvador] Oh, my gosh.
- [device beeping]
267
00:13:53,551 --> 00:13:55,275
- [Sgt. Jones speaking]
- [Salvador speaking]
268
00:13:55,275 --> 00:13:59,275
[groaning] I can't breathe!
Not my heart!
269
00:13:59,275 --> 00:14:01,241
[Det. Salazar]
Salvador started saying
he couldn't breathe.
270
00:14:01,241 --> 00:14:03,896
And, if I'm being honest,
my first thought was,
271
00:14:03,896 --> 00:14:06,241
"It's probably because
you just ran like a gazelle,
272
00:14:06,241 --> 00:14:07,655
a quarter mile,
273
00:14:07,655 --> 00:14:10,586
and then attempted to steal
a car from a woman."
274
00:14:21,586 --> 00:14:23,482
- [Salvador speaking]
- [Det. Salazar speaking]
275
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:27,965
[Sgt. Jones] I thought we were
perfectly safe at that point,
276
00:14:27,965 --> 00:14:30,758
to take the time to put
a second set of cuffs on,
277
00:14:30,758 --> 00:14:33,724
not to aggravate a potential
medical condition.
278
00:14:33,724 --> 00:14:38,517
And we'd still achieve
our goal of taking him
into custody safely.
279
00:14:38,517 --> 00:14:40,655
[Salvador speaking]
280
00:14:42,793 --> 00:14:45,517
[Det. Salazar speaking]
281
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:47,655
We checked him for weapons,
made sure that he
wasn't armed.
282
00:14:49,241 --> 00:14:51,275
He did have a knife on him,
but it was in his pocket.
283
00:14:58,206 --> 00:14:59,172
[Salvador speaking]
284
00:14:59,931 --> 00:15:01,000
[Sgt. Jones speaking]
285
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:03,827
Oh, yeah, okay.
286
00:15:03,827 --> 00:15:05,758
[Sgt. Jones speaking]
287
00:15:05,758 --> 00:15:08,827
I went up to make contact
with Miss Brown,
288
00:15:08,827 --> 00:15:11,896
to check on her,
to see if she was harmed.
289
00:15:11,896 --> 00:15:16,172
And she had a little one
in her arms
and one at her feet.
290
00:15:16,172 --> 00:15:19,620
It terrified me to learn
that those kids had been
in there.
291
00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:23,793
[Kendra] The emotions
that took over me
292
00:15:23,793 --> 00:15:26,103
after realizing what had
actually happened,
293
00:15:26,103 --> 00:15:29,724
were a lot of tears,
a lot of hard tears.
294
00:15:30,758 --> 00:15:33,655
I couldn't hold my kids enough
because I...
295
00:15:35,137 --> 00:15:38,206
There was that possibility
that I could have lost them
that day.
296
00:15:42,689 --> 00:15:45,724
[narrator]
Salvador Harguindeguy
is found guilty of robbery,
297
00:15:45,724 --> 00:15:49,000
attempted theft, assault,
and resisting arrest.
298
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,517
He is sentenced
to three and a half years
in jail.
299
00:15:56,206 --> 00:15:58,517
[Det. Salazar]
I believe Salvador
was completely reckless
300
00:15:58,517 --> 00:16:00,965
and selfish in what he did.
301
00:16:00,965 --> 00:16:05,000
He had no regard
for anyone else's safety.
302
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,310
He did not care
who he put in danger,
303
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:08,482
who he potentially hurt.
304
00:16:10,068 --> 00:16:12,965
[Kendra]
I tell people all the time
how thankful I am
305
00:16:12,965 --> 00:16:16,103
that those officers were there
at that exact moment
306
00:16:16,103 --> 00:16:18,896
because five seconds longer,
10 seconds longer,
307
00:16:18,896 --> 00:16:20,379
what... what
could have happened?
308
00:16:20,931 --> 00:16:21,931
I don't know.
309
00:16:28,517 --> 00:16:29,448
[narrator] In Georgia,
310
00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:32,862
84 miles southeast of Atlanta,
311
00:16:33,758 --> 00:16:35,344
is the town of Byron.
312
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,793
[Capt. Hunter]
Byron Police Department
is a small agency.
313
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:47,827
Counting our
part-time officers,
we're at 27 sworn.
314
00:16:47,827 --> 00:16:50,310
[Brent Cox]
We were on our usual
route home,
315
00:16:51,793 --> 00:16:55,689
We noticed a car
coming towards us
going really fast.
316
00:16:57,413 --> 00:17:01,344
She swerved into the car
in front of us,
317
00:17:01,344 --> 00:17:03,448
and drove that guy
completely off the road.
318
00:17:04,413 --> 00:17:05,758
She swerved towards us.
319
00:17:08,965 --> 00:17:10,620
So I told Tiffany
to call the police.
320
00:17:10,620 --> 00:17:12,517
I turned around
and I started following her.
321
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,551
[Officer Wasztyl]
The time the call came out,
322
00:17:18,551 --> 00:17:20,931
I was actually coming
to the office.
323
00:17:20,931 --> 00:17:22,758
Peach County,
they asked for assistance.
324
00:17:22,758 --> 00:17:23,896
We're all responding,
325
00:17:23,896 --> 00:17:25,896
and then I heard
my partner say that he is,
326
00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:28,275
uh, 1023,
which is on the scene.
327
00:17:28,275 --> 00:17:29,620
I heard him
come across the radio.
328
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:33,000
Said, um, "Are you clear?
I need more units."
329
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,068
Um, at that point,
that becomes an urgent call.
330
00:17:35,689 --> 00:17:37,172
[siren blaring]
331
00:17:37,172 --> 00:17:38,793
He's asking for help.
332
00:17:38,793 --> 00:17:40,689
[sirens blaring]
333
00:17:42,517 --> 00:17:44,517
[car horn blaring]
334
00:17:47,827 --> 00:17:50,275
[Capt. Hunter] That afternoon,
I had been at the firing range
with my son,
335
00:17:50,275 --> 00:17:53,000
And we drove by
and I saw the scene,
336
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,413
and it looked chaotic.
337
00:17:55,413 --> 00:17:58,620
Several civilians had blocked
the drive-in with their
own vehicles.
338
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,344
Some were knocking
on the windows
339
00:18:00,344 --> 00:18:02,586
just trying to get her
to unlock the car.
340
00:18:02,586 --> 00:18:04,000
[civilian speaking]
341
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,827
[Brent] It was really scary
between when we stopped
342
00:18:06,827 --> 00:18:08,689
and when
the police officer arrived
343
00:18:08,689 --> 00:18:13,758
because I've watched her
try to hit two vehicles
and myself
344
00:18:13,758 --> 00:18:16,103
in a row, so my thought is,
345
00:18:16,103 --> 00:18:19,275
if she goes through
this intersection,
346
00:18:19,275 --> 00:18:21,310
I have no idea what,
what's fixing to happen.
347
00:18:23,793 --> 00:18:27,827
When I approached the vehicle,
I tried to make contact
with the... with the driver.
348
00:18:27,827 --> 00:18:30,034
Um, she was unresponsive
to communication.
349
00:18:30,034 --> 00:18:33,655
I tried the door handles
on the vehicle.
Noe of them were unlocked.
350
00:18:33,655 --> 00:18:36,551
I noted that all the windows
were, um,
in the upward position.
351
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,586
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
352
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:44,034
Other people that were there
told us there was a child
in the backseat.
353
00:18:47,103 --> 00:18:49,724
That did change
how we responded some
354
00:18:49,724 --> 00:18:52,793
'cause we don't' want anyone
to get hurt
anytime we go to work,
355
00:18:53,482 --> 00:18:54,689
especially a child.
356
00:18:55,448 --> 00:18:56,586
[civilian speaking]
357
00:18:56,586 --> 00:18:59,241
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
358
00:19:00,793 --> 00:19:03,482
At that point, we started,
um, thinking about
breaching methods.
359
00:19:08,275 --> 00:19:09,241
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
360
00:19:10,103 --> 00:19:11,931
[civilian speaking]
361
00:19:13,551 --> 00:19:14,758
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
362
00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:16,758
[civilian speaking]
363
00:19:16,758 --> 00:19:19,827
The goal at the end
was to bring this situation
to an end
364
00:19:19,827 --> 00:19:21,310
without anybody getting hurt.
365
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:25,620
Ma'am, you just had a wreck.
366
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:27,482
[Sgt. Gunn speaking]
367
00:19:28,551 --> 00:19:30,689

[Capt. Hunter speaking]
372
00:19:41,379 --> 00:19:43,379
[civilians screaming]
373
00:19:45,034 --> 00:19:46,965
She drove forward hitting me,
374
00:19:46,965 --> 00:19:49,068
hitting the civilian,
375
00:19:50,379 --> 00:19:52,000
almost running my son over.
376
00:19:56,758 --> 00:20:00,172
He had to jump on the hood
of a patrol car
to keep from getting hit.
377
00:20:02,482 --> 00:20:04,103
Using her car as a weapon,
378
00:20:04,103 --> 00:20:06,482
uh, hitting us
and the civilians,
379
00:20:06,482 --> 00:20:08,793
that was, you know,
deadly force on her part.
380
00:20:08,793 --> 00:20:11,000
The whole time,
the child was in the car.
381
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,310
And that's when myself
and the other officers
drew our weapons.
382
00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:16,068
[Sgt. Gunn speaking]
383
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:26,482
[narrator] In Georgia,
an identified woman
is driving recklessly.
384
00:20:26,482 --> 00:20:29,344
She has already hit
three people with her car.
385
00:20:29,344 --> 00:20:31,241
[Capt. Hunter] The last thing
any police officer wants to do
386
00:20:31,241 --> 00:20:32,551
is fire their weapon
in the line of duty.
387
00:20:32,551 --> 00:20:35,000
[Sgt. Gunn speaking]
388
00:20:37,448 --> 00:20:38,482
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
389
00:20:38,482 --> 00:20:39,517
[civilians screaming]
390
00:20:39,517 --> 00:20:40,620
Now she's driving off,
391
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:42,827
I'm thinking
the worst scenario
392
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:45,034
would be that she would
make it to the Interstate,
393
00:20:45,034 --> 00:20:48,068
putting a lot more lives
in danger.
394
00:20:48,068 --> 00:20:50,379
[Sgt. Gunn]
There were multiple people
being struck by the vehicle.
395
00:20:50,379 --> 00:20:53,931
There are other
patrol vehicles
being struck by the vehicle.
396
00:20:53,931 --> 00:20:56,482
I've personally seen
in previous experience
397
00:20:56,482 --> 00:20:58,344
what a vehicle can do
to a person.
398
00:21:03,310 --> 00:21:05,310
[Capt. Hunter] The adrenaline
was definitely running.
399
00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:07,551
We went from traffic stop
400
00:21:07,551 --> 00:21:09,931
to felonies
had been committed.
401
00:21:10,758 --> 00:21:12,137
But with the child in the car,
402
00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:14,379
I didn't even want
a piece of glass
403
00:21:14,379 --> 00:21:16,034
putting a small scratch
on that child.
404
00:21:16,034 --> 00:21:18,655
That was the main reason
none of us fired
405
00:21:18,655 --> 00:21:20,413
was because of that child
in the car.
406
00:21:25,103 --> 00:21:27,000
[Sgt. Gunn speaking]
407
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,379
[Officer Wasztyl]
Once she started moving again
408
00:21:28,379 --> 00:21:29,517
and we all got back
in our cars,
409
00:21:29,517 --> 00:21:31,448
and we went to box her
back in again.
410
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:33,793
[sirens blaring]
411
00:21:44,827 --> 00:21:46,206
We're not really sure
why she stopped.
412
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:49,482
She hit, uh, my captain's car.
413
00:21:50,103 --> 00:21:52,000
[sirens continue blaring]
414
00:21:54,724 --> 00:21:57,310
- [Capt. Hunter speaking]
- [tires screeching]
415
00:21:57,310 --> 00:21:59,862
Put the stop sticks
under her tires
416
00:21:59,862 --> 00:22:02,965
so we can deflate the tires
if she does drive off.
417
00:22:02,965 --> 00:22:05,448
And then we were going
to try and move our vehicles
in there.
418
00:22:10,965 --> 00:22:12,344
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
419
00:22:12,344 --> 00:22:13,793
[tires screeching]
420
00:22:13,793 --> 00:22:15,344
[Sgt. Gunn]
I guess in the moment,
you don't really think about,
421
00:22:15,344 --> 00:22:16,482
um, fear.
422
00:22:16,482 --> 00:22:17,655
Our primary objective
423
00:22:17,655 --> 00:22:19,482
was to remove the child
from the vehicle.
424
00:22:22,137 --> 00:22:23,482
[tires screeching]
425
00:22:25,586 --> 00:22:27,137
I attempted to use
my window punch.
426
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:30,068
I mean, it was ineffective
to get her out of harm's way.
427
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:32,827
We knew that the longer
that situation, uh, escalated,
428
00:22:32,827 --> 00:22:34,034
the worse it was gonna get,
429
00:22:34,034 --> 00:22:35,413
and the more dangerous
it'd be for the child
430
00:22:35,413 --> 00:22:36,620
- in the backseat.
- [tires screeching]
431
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,620
[car horn honking]
432
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,103

[Capt. Hunter speaking]
434
00:22:49,689 --> 00:22:50,965
[Captain Wasztyl]
She hit my car,
435
00:22:50,965 --> 00:22:52,827
she actually
blew out her tire,
436
00:22:52,827 --> 00:22:55,310
and then she continued
down the road.
437
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:56,448
What's gonna stop her?
438
00:22:56,448 --> 00:22:58,137
Because at that point,
she may not even care
439
00:22:58,137 --> 00:22:59,310
about her own life.
440
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:00,896
[sirens blaring]
441
00:23:38,344 --> 00:23:40,448
[Sgt. Gunn] The Byron officers
blocked her in from the front
442
00:23:40,448 --> 00:23:43,000
and from the rear
with physical contact
with their vehicles.
443
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,551
I pulled up to the side,
444
00:23:44,551 --> 00:23:46,517
um, just so that she couldn't
slip out through the side.
445
00:23:49,379 --> 00:23:51,655
[Capt. Hunter] We need
to bring this to an end
as quickly as possible.
446
00:23:54,034 --> 00:23:55,517
[sirens blaring]
447
00:23:59,689 --> 00:24:01,310
[Capt. Hunter]
As Officer Griffiths
gets to the car,
448
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:04,724
he's seen that the driver's
window is down
probably halfway.
449
00:24:04,724 --> 00:24:07,586
And we just need
to get her out of the car
and get her to jail.
450
00:24:07,586 --> 00:24:09,103
[Officer Griffiths speaking]
451

00:24:31,965 --> 00:24:33,689
Ow!
458
00:24:36,689 --> 00:24:39,103
[Capt. Hunter]
As we get her out of the car,
she's still non-compliant,
459
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:40,310
still being combative.
460
00:24:41,068 --> 00:24:42,103

[woman speaking]
464
00:24:53,655 --> 00:24:55,448
[Officer Wasztyl]
She was disingenuine.
465
00:24:55,448 --> 00:24:57,965
She was hoping nobody saw
everything that led up to it,
466
00:24:57,965 --> 00:25:01,103
act like she was
an innocent victim
that we were harassing.
467
00:25:01,103 --> 00:25:03,896
[woman speaking]
468
00:25:03,896 --> 00:25:05,413
Uh, when we stopped,
469
00:25:05,413 --> 00:25:07,965
they're wrestling with her
on the driver's side,
470
00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:09,275
they're wrestling with her.
471
00:25:09,275 --> 00:25:10,931
They get her out of the car.
472
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,413
Myself and Tiffany,
our only concern was,
473
00:25:17,413 --> 00:25:21,275
as parents, and as,
you know, human beings,
474
00:25:21,275 --> 00:25:25,413
that we could potentially
prevent something bad
from happening to this child,
475
00:25:25,413 --> 00:25:26,448
and that's what we're
gonna do.
476
00:25:29,413 --> 00:25:32,482
So Tiffany,
she unlocks the front door.
477
00:25:32,482 --> 00:25:35,586
The baby goes out
the back passenger's door.
478
00:25:35,586 --> 00:25:37,103
- [woman] No, I did not!
- [Capt. Hunter]
And a couple of others.
479
00:25:38,137 --> 00:25:40,482
[Brent] Then Tiffany
slams the front door,
480
00:25:40,482 --> 00:25:41,965
and then goes up to the girl,
481
00:25:41,965 --> 00:25:45,482
and effectively just tells her
what she thinks about her
at that point.
482
00:25:45,482 --> 00:25:48,620
[Tiffany speaking]
483
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:53,689

00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:56,793
- [woman speaking]
- [Tiffany speaking]
485
00:25:58,724 --> 00:25:59,965
[Brent] Being a mother and,
486
00:25:59,965 --> 00:26:02,068
you would never imagine
putting your kids
487
00:26:02,068 --> 00:26:03,551
into a situation like this.
488
00:26:03,551 --> 00:26:06,758
To see a child
in that situation,
489
00:26:06,758 --> 00:26:10,379
I think it all just
kind of came to a head
for her,
490
00:26:10,379 --> 00:26:13,310
and she got upset,
she got very, very angry.
491
00:26:14,206 --> 00:26:15,413
[bleep]!
492
00:26:15,413 --> 00:26:18,172
[Capt. Hunter]
Uh, Miss Cox was able
to let her know
493
00:26:18,172 --> 00:26:21,034
what she thought about
all of her actions that day,
494
00:26:21,034 --> 00:26:23,758
speak her piece
on what she thought.
495
00:26:23,758 --> 00:26:25,827
Yeah, I felt I'd let her
get it out of her system,
496
00:26:25,827 --> 00:26:27,482
then, you know,
get her off to the side,
497
00:26:27,482 --> 00:26:29,137
and let her know
we had it under control.
498
00:26:32,758 --> 00:26:34,586

- [Sgt. Gunn speaking]
- [woman speaking]
500
00:26:43,655 --> 00:26:46,862
[Capt. Hunter] 99% of the time
people comply and they get
in the car with no problems.
501
00:26:46,862 --> 00:26:48,379
[woman speaking]
502
00:26:49,586 --> 00:26:51,517
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
503
00:26:52,965 --> 00:26:54,931
This time she was difficult
to get in the car.
504
00:26:54,931 --> 00:26:57,172
We were able to get her in,
took us a minute
505
00:26:57,172 --> 00:26:59,482
just to get her in the car
and get the doors shut,
506
00:26:59,482 --> 00:27:01,724
and get her to the jail.
507
00:27:01,724 --> 00:27:03,206
[Sgt. Gunn speaking]
508
00:27:03,206 --> 00:27:04,379
[Capt. Hunter speaking]
509
00:27:04,379 --> 00:27:06,379
The citizens this day
were great.
510
00:27:06,379 --> 00:27:08,172
They put themselves in danger.
511
00:27:08,172 --> 00:27:09,965
You know, that's not what
they're paid to do.
512
00:27:09,965 --> 00:27:12,551
[Brent speaking]
513
00:27:12,551 --> 00:27:14,034

514
00:27:14,034 --> 00:27:15,655
- [Brent speaking]
- [Capt. Hunter] Yeah.
515
00:27:15,655 --> 00:27:17,103
[Tiffany] Can I just hold her?
516
00:27:17,103 --> 00:27:20,103
When Tiffany...
when she eventually
got around to...
517
00:27:20,103 --> 00:27:22,896
...to where the baby was,
and she was holding the baby,
518
00:27:22,896 --> 00:27:27,172
I think it was immediate, um,
kind of sigh of relief,
519
00:27:27,172 --> 00:27:30,413
like, "Okay, this...
everyone's safe.
520
00:27:30,413 --> 00:27:32,689
No one got hurt.
The baby is safe.
521
00:27:32,689 --> 00:27:33,724
It's over.
522
00:27:34,344 --> 00:27:35,655
Everything's fine.
523
00:27:35,655 --> 00:27:38,068
[man 1 speaking]
524
00:27:38,068 --> 00:27:39,379
[Captain Hunter]
Thank you. Okay.
525
00:27:39,379 --> 00:27:40,724
[man 1 continues speaking]
526
00:27:41,965 --> 00:27:43,482
[Captain Hunter speaking]
527
00:27:43,482 --> 00:27:45,551
Their grandparents had called
528
00:27:45,551 --> 00:27:46,896
the suspect's phone.
529
00:27:46,896 --> 00:27:49,206
"We're on the way.
Come get the child."
530
00:27:49,206 --> 00:27:52,379
Otherwise we would've
have to gone to Family
and Children's services.
531
00:27:55,137 --> 00:27:58,275
[narrator] The driver is
24-year-old Sierra Hibbert.
532
00:27:59,379 --> 00:28:02,413
She is charged
with aggravated assault,
533
00:28:02,413 --> 00:28:04,724
criminal damage
to property
534
00:28:04,724 --> 00:28:07,517
and damage
to government property.
535
00:28:07,517 --> 00:28:09,551
She is currently
awaiting trial.
536
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:12,034
Meant a lot
537
00:28:12,034 --> 00:28:14,482
going home that day
538
00:28:14,482 --> 00:28:16,241
and seeing the kids and stuff
539
00:28:16,241 --> 00:28:18,827
because it could've easily
540
00:28:18,827 --> 00:28:20,758
not gone the way that it did.
541
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,724
[Captain Hunter]
The driver's actions,
I have no idea
542
00:28:24,724 --> 00:28:26,000
what was going through
her mind.
543
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,517
Maybe one day we will.
544
00:28:27,517 --> 00:28:30,034
She went to jail
where she needed to go.
545
00:28:30,034 --> 00:28:33,068
And we all got to go home
at the end of our shift.
546
00:28:33,655 --> 00:28:35,413
Even, now, you know,
547
00:28:35,413 --> 00:28:38,068
I don't think we could've
done anything different
or anything better.
548
00:28:42,517 --> 00:28:47,172
[narrator] In Florida,
23 miles inland from
Daytona Beach...
549
00:28:47,172 --> 00:28:49,827
is the city of Bunnell
in Flagler County.
550
00:28:53,551 --> 00:28:55,689
Deputy Boyd
is on a night shift.
551
00:28:56,413 --> 00:28:58,862
I was patrolling
the US one area.
552
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,068
There was a car
that was coming into town
553
00:29:01,068 --> 00:29:03,034
at a pretty high rate
of speed
554
00:29:03,034 --> 00:29:05,931
and I was able to get the tag
off the vehicle
555
00:29:05,931 --> 00:29:08,482
and it came back
as a suspended license.
556
00:29:08,482 --> 00:29:11,034
[siren blaring]
557
00:29:11,034 --> 00:29:13,586
[Boyd] I activated
my emergency light.
558
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:15,034
He actually sped up.
559
00:29:15,034 --> 00:29:16,620
[Boyd speaking]
560
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:23,137
My plan at this point was
561
00:29:23,137 --> 00:29:25,206
calling out over the radio
to let the other deputies know
562
00:29:25,206 --> 00:29:27,137
where exactly he was going to.
563
00:29:27,137 --> 00:29:30,413
[narrator] Corporal Jurec is
monitoring the radio close by.
564
00:29:30,413 --> 00:29:32,896
[Jurec speaking]
565
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:34,793
From listening to the calls
566
00:29:34,793 --> 00:29:37,000
I kinda determined
that the vehicle was
coming behind me.
567
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,379
[car engine roaring]
568
00:29:38,379 --> 00:29:41,000
[Boyd speaking over radio]
569
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,275
[Jurec] You got the adrenaline
pushing on you
570
00:29:44,206 --> 00:29:45,793
and you're just
trying to figure out
571
00:29:45,793 --> 00:29:47,620
the ten different ways
this could go.
572
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,586
[siren wailing]
573
00:29:50,586 --> 00:29:53,413
[Boyd] I think he knew
that he was losing control
of the car.
574
00:29:54,482 --> 00:29:56,103
[Boyd speaking]
575
00:29:56,827 --> 00:29:58,034
He was going too fast.
576
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,689
[Boyd speaking]
577
00:30:10,379 --> 00:30:12,965
I could see the car
swerving slightly
578
00:30:12,965 --> 00:30:14,517
and then that's when
he ended up
579
00:30:14,517 --> 00:30:16,379
going off to the right side
of the road...
580
00:30:20,379 --> 00:30:23,000
and he just went right off
into the ditch.
581
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,758
[Boyd yelling]
582
00:30:43,586 --> 00:30:45,379
[Boyd yelling]
583
00:30:50,931 --> 00:30:52,310
[Jurec speaking]
584
00:30:56,448 --> 00:30:57,793
[Boyd] There's multiple
different officers
585
00:30:57,793 --> 00:30:59,793
that arrive
at this point in time.
586
00:30:59,793 --> 00:31:02,241
Deputy Jurec was right there
pretty quick.
587
00:31:02,241 --> 00:31:04,206
Commander Finn,
he was there pretty fast.
588
00:31:07,413 --> 00:31:09,000
[man 2 speaking]
589
00:31:10,206 --> 00:31:11,965
[Boyd speaking]
590
00:31:21,724 --> 00:31:23,275
You don't know how many
people are in the car,
591
00:31:23,275 --> 00:31:25,241
we don't know
what they've done,
592
00:31:25,241 --> 00:31:26,827
we don't know
what they've been involved in.
593
00:31:26,827 --> 00:31:28,551
They could have
a weapon on 'em.
594
00:31:28,551 --> 00:31:30,172
Uh, they could be desperate.
595
00:31:30,172 --> 00:31:32,689
Willing to try to hurt us.
596
00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:34,827
At the same time,
they could be unconscious
597
00:31:34,827 --> 00:31:36,241
laying in the...
laying in the car.
598
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,034
There was a few of us
that could hear
599
00:31:41,034 --> 00:31:42,724
some kind of rustling around
in the woods
600
00:31:42,724 --> 00:31:44,206
beside where the car was.
601
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:46,275
[man 3 speaking]
602
00:31:46,793 --> 00:31:48,000
[Boyd speaking]
603
00:31:57,862 --> 00:32:00,172
[Boyd speaking over PA]
604
00:32:23,517 --> 00:32:25,379
[man 4 speaking]
605
00:32:28,517 --> 00:32:29,689
[Boyd speaking]
606
00:32:29,689 --> 00:32:31,103
[man 4 speaking]
607
00:32:31,103 --> 00:32:32,862
- [Jurec speaking]
- [man 4 speaking]
608
00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:40,241
[Jurec] I elect
to pick up the shield
and be the shield man.
609
00:32:40,241 --> 00:32:41,965
I'm the type of person
that will always
610
00:32:41,965 --> 00:32:43,655
take the lead on something.
611
00:32:43,655 --> 00:32:46,241
And if... if someone's
gonna be in that vehicle
and shoot back
612
00:32:46,241 --> 00:32:47,620
I wanna be
the first one to get hit
613
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:49,034
instead of one of my...
one of my friends.
614
00:32:50,275 --> 00:32:53,655
At that point Deputy Boyd
was scanning the wood line.
615
00:32:53,655 --> 00:32:56,517
Protecting our backs while
we approached the vehicle.
616
00:32:56,517 --> 00:32:58,241
[Jurec speaking]
617
00:33:06,413 --> 00:33:09,137
I was behind Corporal Jurec
618
00:33:09,137 --> 00:33:10,827
behind the shield,
giving commands.
619
00:33:13,620 --> 00:33:15,172
[man 5 speaking]
620
00:33:18,896 --> 00:33:20,000
[digital beeps]
621
00:33:29,413 --> 00:33:31,655
We were able to
shine our flashlights
in from a distance
622
00:33:31,655 --> 00:33:33,034
and nobody was in there.
623
00:33:33,034 --> 00:33:35,241
[Boyd speaking]
624
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:54,620
[man 5] After we determined
that the vehicle was clear
from anybody
625
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:57,896
we know we are on a manhunt
for at least one individual.
626
00:34:00,965 --> 00:34:02,655
We could just start going
through the woods
627
00:34:02,655 --> 00:34:05,758
but we really have no idea
where this person can be.
628
00:34:06,896 --> 00:34:08,655
[helicopter hovering]
629
00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:12,379
[air support over radio]
630
00:34:12,379 --> 00:34:15,034
This time we wanted
air support to help
look for the subject
631
00:34:15,034 --> 00:34:17,965
so I authorized
Volusia County's Air One
to come and assist us.
632
00:34:18,482 --> 00:34:20,482
[drone whizzing]
633
00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:23,000
The helicopters have,
what's called a FLIR
634
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,551
which is, uh, thermal imaging
635
00:34:24,551 --> 00:34:27,068
which can
look for heat signatures
636
00:34:27,068 --> 00:34:29,931
and persons in an environment
where we would not be able
to see them.
637
00:34:33,620 --> 00:34:35,344
[air support over radio]
638
00:34:39,275 --> 00:34:41,827
Shortly after Volucia County's
Air One arrived
639
00:34:41,827 --> 00:34:45,517
the pilot advised that they
had an image of the subject
640
00:34:45,517 --> 00:34:47,172
hiding in a swamp, nearby,
641
00:34:47,172 --> 00:34:49,241
and they're only
able to see his head.
642
00:34:52,551 --> 00:34:54,448
I then called in our fan boat
643
00:34:54,448 --> 00:34:57,000
which is designed
for this type of area.
644
00:34:58,517 --> 00:35:01,413
[Steve Williams]
It's a flat bottom wide boat.
645
00:35:01,413 --> 00:35:04,655
It has a propeller on the back
like an airplane.
646
00:35:04,655 --> 00:35:06,413
It allows us to go through
647
00:35:06,413 --> 00:35:09,689
really shallow water even
over dry ground if need be.
648
00:35:09,689 --> 00:35:12,241
to get to places that
other boats cannot get to.
649
00:35:16,965 --> 00:35:19,137
[Williams] Once I got it
into the water,
650
00:35:19,137 --> 00:35:20,689
I had to drive around the pond
651
00:35:20,689 --> 00:35:22,724
to pick up the other deputies
on the back.
652
00:35:24,413 --> 00:35:25,586
[Boyd speaking]
653
00:35:26,379 --> 00:35:27,655
[man 7 speaking]
654
00:35:28,448 --> 00:35:29,862
It's pitch black dark
out there.
655
00:35:29,862 --> 00:35:32,034
It's not even a full moon.
I mean, it's dark.
656
00:35:33,448 --> 00:35:35,862
We don't know
if he's armed or not.
Anything could happen.
657
00:35:44,344 --> 00:35:47,103
[air support over radio]
658
00:35:51,689 --> 00:35:52,827
[Williams]
The suspect's in there
659
00:35:52,827 --> 00:35:54,620
and he doesn't know
how much danger he's in.
660
00:35:56,586 --> 00:35:59,344
Just about
every pond in Florida's
got an alligator in it.
661
00:35:59,344 --> 00:36:01,482
Or it's got poisonous snakes
in it, you know.
662
00:36:01,482 --> 00:36:03,758
Or water moccasins
could be in there.
663
00:36:03,758 --> 00:36:05,862
And we have black widows
and brown recluse,
664
00:36:05,862 --> 00:36:07,655
uh, spiders are
hanging around these ponds.
665
00:36:07,655 --> 00:36:09,413
[motor whirring]
666
00:36:12,413 --> 00:36:14,655
[Williams] He could get bit
or paralyzed or anything.
667
00:36:14,655 --> 00:36:17,758
He wouldn't be able
to yell out to us for us
to even rescue him.
668
00:36:24,448 --> 00:36:26,413
[air support over radio]
669
00:36:31,551 --> 00:36:34,275
[motor stops]
670
00:36:34,275 --> 00:36:37,103
[Williams] We get
to this area and
671
00:36:37,103 --> 00:36:39,206
there's a tree
that's overgrown over the bank
672
00:36:39,206 --> 00:36:41,793
where the branches
are almost touching the water.
673
00:36:41,793 --> 00:36:44,793
And it's real weedy,
real grassy.
674
00:36:44,793 --> 00:36:47,413
And we're looking down
and it looks like solid grass.
675
00:36:49,137 --> 00:36:51,000
[man 8 speaking]
676
00:37:03,206 --> 00:37:05,137
- [man 9 speaking]

677
00:37:12,793 --> 00:37:14,413
[air support over radio]
678
00:37:15,724 --> 00:37:17,758
[Williams] One of the deputies
that was on board
679
00:37:17,758 --> 00:37:20,448
attempted to step off the boat
thinking it was dry ground,
680
00:37:20,448 --> 00:37:23,586
well, soon as he stepped off
he sank right up to his waist.
681
00:37:23,586 --> 00:37:25,689
He was in the same danger
as the suspect
682
00:37:25,689 --> 00:37:28,206
with alligators,
spiders, snakes.
683
00:37:28,206 --> 00:37:30,551
'Cause it was very possible,
he could've drowned there.
684
00:37:31,827 --> 00:37:33,793
We quickly got him
back up on the boat
685
00:37:33,793 --> 00:37:35,482
to keep him
out of that situation.
686
00:37:37,551 --> 00:37:40,344
[man 8 speaking]
687
00:37:40,344 --> 00:37:42,448
This boat cannot back up.
There's no reverse.
688
00:37:42,448 --> 00:37:43,931
It's... it's forward only.
689
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:45,827
[Williams speaking]

00:37:45,827 --> 00:37:47,586
We moved the boat
around some more...
691
00:37:47,586 --> 00:37:50,206
[engine revving]
692
00:37:54,068 --> 00:37:55,827
[man 8 speaking]
693
00:37:55,827 --> 00:37:57,344
[Williams speaking]
694
00:38:05,034 --> 00:38:07,000
[engine starts]
695
00:38:07,724 --> 00:38:10,344
[engine revving]
696
00:38:14,482 --> 00:38:16,000
[air support over radio]
697
00:38:19,034 --> 00:38:21,068
[man 8 speaking]
698
00:38:27,517 --> 00:38:29,413
[Williams] The pilot
from the helicopter
699
00:38:29,413 --> 00:38:30,689
is guiding us in
700
00:38:30,689 --> 00:38:33,206
and we're within five feet
of where this heat source is.
701
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,862
He's right in front of us
and we can't see him.
702
00:38:52,758 --> 00:38:55,206
[man 8 speaking]
703
00:38:56,551 --> 00:38:58,172
[man 9 speaking]
704
00:39:03,586 --> 00:39:05,551
We took our push pole
from the boat...
705
00:39:08,827 --> 00:39:10,344
and one of the deputies
up front
706
00:39:10,344 --> 00:39:13,586
is using that pole
to push these weeds down
to see
707
00:39:13,586 --> 00:39:15,413
in the area
where the suspect is at
708
00:39:15,413 --> 00:39:16,517
and see if he can see him.
709
00:39:17,068 --> 00:39:18,620
[man 9 speaking]
710
00:39:19,206 --> 00:39:20,793
[man 8 speaking]
711
00:39:26,344 --> 00:39:29,068
[air support over radio]
712
00:39:31,827 --> 00:39:33,896
[man 8 speaking]
713
00:39:33,896 --> 00:39:35,310
[suspect speaking]
714
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:36,793
[man 8 speaking]
715
00:39:41,344 --> 00:39:42,517
[suspect speaking]
716
00:39:42,517 --> 00:39:44,034
[man 8 speaking]
717
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,172
[Williams] I think the suspect
718
00:39:56,172 --> 00:40:00,034
thought we were gonna
actually hit him
with that push pole.
719
00:40:00,034 --> 00:40:01,103
And he says, "I give up."
720
00:40:01,103 --> 00:40:02,241
[man 8 speaking]
721
00:40:07,206 --> 00:40:08,655
[suspect speaking]
722
00:40:08,655 --> 00:40:10,275
[man 8 speaking]
723
00:40:20,379 --> 00:40:22,793
[Williams] We're giving him
commands to come out
with his hands up.
724
00:40:22,793 --> 00:40:25,551
We don't know what he has.
We don't know if he's armed
or not.
725
00:40:25,551 --> 00:40:27,862
It could be a knife,
a gun, anything.
726
00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:32,931
[man 8 speaking]
727
00:40:52,344 --> 00:40:53,310
[suspect speaking]
728
00:40:53,758 --> 00:40:55,137
[man 8 speaking]
729
00:41:07,689 --> 00:41:10,275
We tried to find out
if he was hurt a bit anywhere
730
00:41:10,275 --> 00:41:12,758
and checked his body,
make sure he didn't have
puncture wounds
731
00:41:12,758 --> 00:41:14,862
or scratches
or anything like that.
732
00:41:14,862 --> 00:41:17,551
[man 8 speaking]
733
00:41:30,862 --> 00:41:33,655
Once he was on board,
they talked to him just, like,
me and you are talking.
734
00:41:33,655 --> 00:41:36,103
Treated with respect.
735
00:41:36,103 --> 00:41:38,310
If I had a message
for this criminal,
I would say,
736
00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:40,827
probably better off
for him to give up
737
00:41:40,827 --> 00:41:43,448
um, instead of running
into a swamp,
putting himself in danger.
738
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:47,827
[narrator] The suspect
is Alonzo Devon Peoples.
739
00:41:47,827 --> 00:41:50,206
He is charged
with several offences
740
00:41:50,206 --> 00:41:52,586
including driving
without a license
741
00:41:52,586 --> 00:41:56,862
possession of cocaine,
and resisting an officer
without violence.
742
00:42:00,310 --> 00:42:04,724
I thought everybody
that was with me that night
did a great job.
743
00:42:06,586 --> 00:42:10,137
The other deputies
set up a perimeter
around the swamp.
744
00:42:10,137 --> 00:42:12,275
So, even if he
exited the swamp
745
00:42:12,275 --> 00:42:14,275
we would still be able to,
to find him.
746
00:42:14,275 --> 00:42:16,206
So, I thought
it was excellent.
