00:00:29,896 [Sheldon] I guess if you can imagine just probably 5 00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:33,241 the most extremely dangerous game of hide and seek, right? 6 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,793 He pulls up a gun and says, 7 00:00:41,793 --> 00:00:45,103 "I'm on the run, and I need a place to go." 8 00:00:45,103 --> 00:00:48,482 [narrator] ...and holds a family hostage. 9 00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:51,068 [Tadehara] We also had intel that one of the hostages 10 00:00:51,068 --> 00:00:53,793 looked very similar to the suspect. 11 00:00:53,793 --> 00:00:55,965 [woman on radio] 12 00:00:57,931 -->

00:01:55,413 [Ferreira] There were threats made. 27 00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:58,275 We knew that he was armed with a weapon. 28 00:01:58,275 --> 00:02:00,206 We also knew that this same person was wanted 29 00:02:00,206 --> 00:02:03,482 for multiple aggravated crimes out of another city. 30 00:02:03,482 --> 00:02:05,206 So I grabbed my vest, put it on, 31 00:02:05,206 --> 00:02:06,896 grabbed a bulletproof shield. 32 00:02:06,896 --> 00:02:08,344 [man speaking] 33 00:02:11,931 --> 00:02:14,068 [operator speaking] 34 00:02:15,793 --> 00:02:17,793 [man speaking] 35 00:02:17,793 -->

serious 38 00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:27,896 and to know that there could be real issues here. 39 00:02:27,896 --> 00:02:29,448 [man speaking] 40 00:02:31,931 --> 00:02:34,241 -[operator speaking] -[man

[Ferreira] We did not go lights and sirens. 45 00:02:40,930 --> 00:02:43,103 When someone's armed, we don't necessarily 46 00:02:43,103 --> 00:02:45,172 wanna let them know how far away we are 47 00:02:45,172 --> 00:02:46,344 and when we're gonna be there. 48 00:03:05,827 --> 00:03:06,931 [Ferreira] They had seen the suspect 49 00:03:06,931 --> 00:03:08,379 out in front of the house, 50 00:03:08,379 --> 00:03:10,379 but they couldn't see him anymore. 51 00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:12,655 So they weren't sure where he was at. 52 00:03:21,103 --> 00:03:22,482 [officer on radio] 53 00:03:22,482 --> 00:03:23,965 [Ferreira speaking] 54 00:03:47,586 --> 00:03:49,930 Since I had the shield, 55 00:03:49,930 --> 00:03:52,655 I was the first person in line. 56 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,275 Some of the dangers when approaching 57 00:03:56,275 --> 00:03:58,793 a situation like that, first of all is the unknown. 58 00:04:18,379 --> 00:04:20,827 [Ferreira] You're waiting for that door to bust open. 59 00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:23,517 You don't know if he wants to come out of there 60 00:04:23,517 --> 00:04:25,379 guns blazing. 61 00:04:28,482 --> 00:04:30,896 [Ferreira] Opening that shed door, that's definitely 62 00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:33,586 the most nerve-wracking moment. 63 00:04:33,586 --> 00:04:35,103 If he's in there, I thought, "This is it. 64 00:04:35,103 --> 00:04:37,172 This is where we're gonna... 65 00:04:38,068 --> 00:04:39,241 have a gun fight." 66 00:05:14,275 --> 00:05:17,068 You really don't come down from 67 00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:19,000 that stress of looking for someone 68 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,551 until every inch of that place has been cleared. 69 00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:44,862 [narrator] Officers canvass the neighborhood. 70 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,172 [Wong] We ended up finding a video that showed 71 00:05:51,172 --> 00:05:53,896 the suspect leaving from the house, 72 00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:56,344 uh, getting into a car and driving away. 73 00:05:58,172 --> 00:06:00,275 The vehicle was a silver Hyundai. 74 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,068 [narrator] An emergency call from a neighbor 75 00:06:04,068 --> 00:06:06,275 comes into Clearfield 911. 76 00:06:07,379 --> 00:06:08,896 [operator speaking] 77 00:06:08,896 --> 00:06:11,344 [woman speaking] 78 00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:19,931 [Wong] Early evening, the suspect 79 00:06:19,931 --> 00:06:21,620 was back out at his brother's house. 80 00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:23,241 [woman speaking] 81 00:06:28,931 --> 00:06:29,827 [operator speaking] 82 00:06:29,827 --> 00:06:32,172 [woman speaking] 83 00:06:35,793 --> 00:06:38,344 [narrator] Officers stake out the house. 84 00:06:42,482 --> 00:06:44,310 [Wong] We didn't have any indication that 85 00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:47,172 he was going to come back to the house. 86 00:06:47,172 --> 00:06:49,965 Our arrest team was moved from the area. 87 00:06:55,793 --> 00:06:57,137 [operator speaking] 88 00:06:57,896 --> 00:07:00,482 [woman speaking] 89 00:07:00,482 --> 00:07:02,413 [operator speaking] 90 00:07:02,413 --> 00:07:03,965 [sirens blaring] 91 00:07:05,172 --> 00:07:07,344 [woman speaking] 92 00:07:08,931 --> 00:07:11,172 [operator speaking] 93 00:07:13,793 --> 00:07:15,793 [Wong] It was just the worst timing. 94 00:07:15,793 --> 00:07:19,931 Uh, and we had to respond back to the brother's house 95 00:07:19,931 --> 00:07:21,758 and try to get him in custody 96 00:07:22,482 --> 00:07:23,862 for a third time. 97 00:07:24,689 --> 00:07:28,034 Yet again, we were just moments too late. 98 00:07:38,793 --> 00:07:40,896 [officer speaking] 99 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,896 [Wong] By this time I'm pretty frustrated, 100 00:07:53,896 --> 00:07:55,793 because I wanna try to capture him 101 00:07:55,793 --> 00:07:57,586 as safe as possible without, you know, 102 00:07:57,586 --> 00:07:59,896 any harm coming to his family. 103 00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:04,172 We need this situation to end with him in custody. 104 00:08:04,172 --> 00:08:06,103 We had information that a suspect's vehicle 105 00:08:06,103 --> 00:08:08,793 was blacked out, there was no headlights, 106 00:08:08,793 --> 00:08:10,000 no lights inside the vehicle. 107 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,862 So he was trying to sneak away from us. 108 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:18,275 And then Officer Adair picked him up 109 00:08:18,275 --> 00:08:20,241 on one of our main roads. 110 00:08:24,413 --> 00:08:26,103 It was good conditions for us 111 00:08:26,103 --> 00:08:29,655 to engage in a vehicle pursuit with the suspect. 112 00:08:34,482 --> 00:08:36,655 [siren wailing] 113 00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:43,655 He's very desperate at this point not to get caught. 114 00:08:44,689 --> 00:08:46,000 There were sparks starting to come out 115 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,034 from the bottom of the suspect's vehicle. 116 00:08:58,896 --> 00:09:00,482 I lose sight of him. 117 00:09:00,482 --> 00:09:02,689 I start trying to coordinate units 118 00:09:02,689 --> 00:09:04,793 to cut off all points of entry and exit 119 00:09:04,793 --> 00:09:07,000 again into our industrial area. 120 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,379 Conduct a systematic search 121 00:09:09,379 --> 00:09:11,344 to try to locate the suspect. 122 00:09:13,103 --> 00:09:14,896 [narrator] A woman alerts an officer 123 00:09:14,896 --> 00:09:17,137 to a car parked in an odd spot. 124 00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,241 [woman speaking] 125 00:09:22,482 --> 00:09:23,689 [man speaking] 126 00:09:23,689 --> 00:09:24,896 He went right through there. 127 00:09:24,896 --> 00:09:26,655 [officer speaking] 128 00:10:04,379 --> 00:10:06,172 [Wong] It's important to remember that 129 00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:08,000 we believe that person to be armed. 130 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,310 They've already committed very violent crimes. 131 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:13,482 And you're asking guys to, and giving them assignments, 132 00:10:13,482 --> 00:10:17,172 to go into areas where, um, 133 00:10:17,172 --> 00:10:19,137 they could be hurt, they could get shot. 134 00:10:39,896 --> 00:10:41,862 [Wong speaking] 135 00:10:49,275 --> 00:10:50,793 Looks like it's crashed out, 136 00:10:50,793 --> 00:10:52,931 and so I start to bring 137 00:10:52,931 --> 00:10:54,689 our containment area in a little bit. 138 00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:56,172 So that way we can get a good search, 139 00:10:56,172 --> 00:10:57,758 clear the vehicle, 140 00:10:57,758 --> 00:11:00,896 and also hopefully get a track with the canines. 141 00:11:00,896 --> 00:11:03,000 [dog whines] 142 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,655 [dog barks] 143 00:11:18,896 --> 00:11:21,103 [operator speaking] 144 00:11:21,103 --> 00:11:23,241 [man speaking] 145 00:11:28,793 --> 00:11:29,931 [operator

[woman speaking] 150 00:11:42,206 --> 00:11:44,689 I had no doubt in my mind that it was him. 151 00:11:44,689 --> 00:11:47,620 For a brief, probably, second, 152 00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:49,862 I just sat there and felt 153 00:11:49,862 --> 00:11:53,275 just really overwhelmed with 154 00:11:53,275 --> 00:11:55,241 the fact that this guy's continuing to 155 00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:57,827 commit violent crimes. 156 00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:03,931 I have split my resources now between, uh, 157 00:12:03,931 --> 00:12:06,413 a shooting investigation which is very serious, 158 00:12:06,413 --> 00:12:09,586 and still trying to apprehend our suspect. 159 00:12:09,586 --> 00:12:12,689 My biggest concern is obviously 160 00:12:12,689 --> 00:12:14,172 trying to find a place to search. 161 00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,655 I mean, he could be anywhere. 162 00:12:21,896 --> 00:12:25,000 [Gordon] My car's equipped with a radar device, 163 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 and it registered a vehicle coming towards my location, 164 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,172 well over 100 miles an hour. 165 00:12:30,172 --> 00:12:32,000 I identify the vehicle as being the one that 166 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,241 Manhard had stolen at gunpoint. 167 00:12:41,517 --> 00:12:43,896 I turn on, you know, emergency lights 168 00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:46,413 and sirens, and I attempt to catch up. 169 00:12:46,413 --> 00:12:48,000 It's apparent and obvious that 170 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,965 he's not gonna slow down, he's not gonna stop. 171 00:12:58,689 --> 00:13:01,068 Any time you engage in a pursuit, 172 00:13:01,068 --> 00:13:03,586 you have that adrenaline dump. 173 00:13:03,586 --> 00:13:06,517 I'm coordinating with the other troopers that are there 174 00:13:06,517 --> 00:13:09,655 uh, on scene to deploy the stops. 175 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,931 So as the car starts to slowly come to a stop, 176 00:13:44,931 --> 00:13:46,793 uh, my mind starts racing. 177 00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,068 "Okay, what's, uh, what's gonna happen? 178 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:49,448 What's our next move gonna be?" 179 00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:57,482 [sirens blaring] 180 00:14:01,862 --> 00:14:03,862 [Gordon] It was just me and Manhard. 181 00:14:03,862 --> 00:14:06,068 We know he has a firearm, we know he's recently used it. 182 00:14:21,103 --> 00:14:23,034 [sirens blaring] 183 00:14:34,931 --> 00:14:37,172 At this point, I believe I had another officer 184 00:14:37,172 --> 00:14:40,275 that was on scene, and since traffic was light enough, 185 00:14:40,275 --> 00:14:42,344 we were also able to run across the freeway. 186 00:14:52,103 --> 00:14:53,620 Those few short minutes 187 00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:55,068 in a stressful situation like this 188 00:14:55,068 --> 00:14:56,482 when you're dealing with an individual 189 00:14:56,482 --> 00:14:58,172 that's, uh, desperate, 190 00:14:58,172 --> 00:14:59,689 it seems like an eternity. 191 00:14:59,689 --> 00:15:02,000 [officer on radio] 192 00:15:08,379 --> 00:15:09,655 [Gordon speaking] 193 00:15:10,206 --> 00:15:11,827 [officer on radio] 194 00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:19,344 On the west side is where it

00:15:30,896 --> 00:15:32,758 [officer on radio] 199 00:15:39,482 --> 00:15:42,241 I arrived on scene and it was... 200 00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:45,413 It was a pretty chaotic scene. 201 00:15:45,413 --> 00:15:47,103 I probably had 30 to 40 officers 202 00:15:47,103 --> 00:15:49,965 that were conducting various assignments. 203 00:15:54,931 --> 00:15:56,103 [dog whines] 204 00:15:56,103 -->
