[narrator]Sitting on the eastern edge

00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,500
[Jeran Jones]Enid is a blue collar town.

grain elevators,
a few places to eat,

25
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:31,700
but mostly a town for people
who go to work and go home.

26
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:35,500
I started working there
about three years ago.

27
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:38,229
Before that, never really
had any intention
of becoming a cop.

28
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:39,900
It just sort of
fell into my lap.

00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:06,930
Dispatch tells me
that there is a person
experiencing a mental crisis.

51
00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:09,630
That there are weapons
in the house,

52
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:11,070
but unknown location,

53
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,000
and that there are children
inside the house.

54
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:18,170

very rarely straightforward
as they are set out.

the wife is in the house.

My partner is in the house.

58
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:42,400
And I know somewhere
there are children,
but I don't know where.

59
00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:45,570
Well, our goal is
never to escalate.

60
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,000
We always want to de-escalate.

61
00:03:47,970 --> 00:03:50,170
Having children inside
the house,

62
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,530
they're innocent bystanders.

63
00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:54,030
We do want to keep it
as calm as possible.

[Jeran]As I walk up to the house,
it seems fairly quiet,

68
00:04:16,829 --> 00:04:18,329
so I'm thinking in my head,

69
00:04:18,370 --> 00:04:20,230
maybe it's calmed down
a little bit.

[Guth speaking]

78
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,370
He seems very agitated.

79
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,770
His words are slurred.

80
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,630
You can't really make out
what he's saying.

[Guth speaking]

85
00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:10,800
Our training mostly focuses
on establishing communication,

86
00:05:10,830 --> 00:05:14,970
trying to keep the suspect as
calm as reasonably possible.

87

[Guth speaking]

91
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:17,900
It's not that it's an
unreasonable request,

92
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:21,030
but the main concern is that
by taking our badges off

93
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:22,670
and sliding them
under the door,

94
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:24,300
that tells them exactly
where we're at.

95
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:27,970
[Guth speaking]

96
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:38,730
Myself and Sergeant Evans

97
00:06:38,770 --> 00:06:41,070
hear the call come out
and we decide we're going

98
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,100
to respond due
to the nature of the call.

99
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,500
We get these
types of calls a lot

100
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:47,730
where people are having

101
00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:50,800
these thoughts of self-harm,
maybe homicidal thoughts.

102
00:06:52,530 --> 00:06:54,530
My understanding, it was

103
00:06:54,570 --> 00:06:57,230
Mr. Travis's wife
that's upstairs.

104
00:06:57,270 --> 00:07:00,430
And also two small children
that are with her.

105
00:07:00,470 --> 00:07:03,700
Being that he's made
these statements
that are kind of delusional,

106
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:07,430
he's not understanding
that we're the police
and we're there to help.

107
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:10,770
In his mind, his family
can now turn into bad guys,

108
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,870
that his wife and his children
are now the enemy,

109
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,070
and he needs to take them out.

110
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:23,370
As soon as we step out,
Norton starts speaking
to the wife of the couple

111
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,430
that was,
they're having dinner.

112

[Lt. Roberto speaking]

115
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,530
[Sgt. Evans] If he did say
he was gonna kill himself,

116
00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:56,270
kill his wife,
that kind of thing,

117
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:58,670
we can put him
in protective custody.

118
00:08:01,930 --> 00:08:03,600
[narrator]Back inside the house,

119
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:06,570
officers again try to reason
with Travis.

120
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:09,430
[Guth speaking]

121
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,700
I started realizing
that the situation
may be escalating.

122
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:19,300
I put my foot
in front of the door
to make sure

123
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:21,270
that he just can't
swing it open.

124
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:29,170

[gun cocks]

126
00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:39,330
At that point,
I do hear the very
distinct sound of the slide

127
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:41,730
to a handgun racking
in the basement.

128
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:48,800
[gunshots]

129
00:08:48,830 --> 00:08:50,230
[Guth speaking]

130
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,000
[Jeran] This is my first
active shooting.

131
00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:58,530
It's hard to say what emotions
you're experiencing
in that moment,

132
00:08:58,570 --> 00:09:01,830
because just about every ounce
of adrenaline in your body

133
00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:04,300
pumping through your system.

134
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:05,630
We weren't given
that much time.

135
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,470
[gunshots]

136
00:09:09,570 --> 00:09:13,000
As shots are being fired,
I feel something hit my cheek.

137
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,600
I have no idea what it is.

138
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:19,730
I recognize that it hurts,
but I'm still moving.

139
00:09:19,770 --> 00:09:21,370
I'm still functioning.

140
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,070
I did reach up
and feel my cheek.

141
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,070
There wasn't any blood.

142
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,000
I determined that it was
either wood from the door
or bits of drywall.

143
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,830
[gunshots]

144
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:38,600
[Sgt. Evans]There's a lot going on.

145
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:43,800
And it kind of takes my brain
a second to process.

146
00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:46,430
[Guth speaking]

147
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,930
The one thing that was
going through my mind

148
00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:56,430
is that he was directly below
his children and his wife.

149
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:02,530
At this point,
I'm not sure if his wife
is the catalyst

150
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:04,200
that got him so upset.

151
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:06,070
So I was worried
that he was going to try

152
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,100
to shoot through
the floor upwards,

153
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:12,330
[narrator] With no time
to evacuate the family,

154
00:10:12,370 --> 00:10:14,730
police must get Travis
to comply.

155
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,630
[officer] You gotta go.
You gotta go.

156
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:46,170
We have Mr. Travis's wife
and his two small children
upstairs.

157
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:48,570
[man on radio]

158
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:51,700
The decision was made
not to go upstairs

159
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:53,740
because we could become
unnecessary targets.

160
00:10:53,770 --> 00:10:57,470
And then are we putting
the Travis family in danger?

161
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,670
By making movement,
I don't know if
he's going to shoot

162
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:03,370
warning shots up into the air,
and those bullets
are going to be

163
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,930
going up the staircase that
a family could potentially
start walking down.

164
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:09,630
So at that point,
it's best to kind of just
leave everything

165
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:12,200
where everybody is until
he is taken into custody.

166
00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:14,700
[officer 1 speaking]

[officer 2 speaking]

169
00:11:25,970 --> 00:11:29,200
[Jeran] Initially I was
in the line of fire
had anything happened.

170
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:32,670
So I slowly began
to work my way out
of the house.

171
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,770
[man speaking
indistinctly on radio]

172
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,270
[officer speaking]

173
00:12:00,670 --> 00:12:03,170
[Lt. Norton] The SWAT team
and other resources
that are going to come in

174
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,630
and do the negotiating
are at least an hour away.

175
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:09,770
So Sergeant Evans now
has to engage this person
in conversation.

176
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:12,930
When somebody is in that
paranoid sort of state,

177
00:12:12,970 --> 00:12:15,100
you don't know how far
they're willing to go

178
00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:17,570
to even harm
their own children or wife.

179
00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:26,900
[Sgt. Evans] Mr. Travis comes
to the top of the stairs

180
00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:28,870
and then he saw us
and he went back down.

181
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,740
That's whenever he started
trying to speak with me.

182
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:44,070
We just went
from adrenaline rush,

183
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:45,330
him firing shots...

184
00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:47,130
[gunshots]

185
00:12:47,170 --> 00:12:48,300
...feeling in danger,

186
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,770
to now,
we have to try to play nice.

187
00:13:16,330 --> 00:13:19,400
He tells me
I'm going to tell you
what I'm going to do.

188
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:21,630
And that is not
what you want to hear.

189
00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:25,740
If he feels as though he can
control the situation,

190
00:13:25,770 --> 00:13:29,430
I think that gives him
more confidence to either
shoot at us again

191
00:13:29,470 --> 00:13:32,430
or make some sort of
drastic action.

192
00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:41,840
He tells me that he's throwing
the magazine on the top
of the stairs.

193
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,530
He ends up
throwing the entire gun
up on the stairs,

194
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:54,230
on the floor
to where we can see it.

195
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:09,740
[officer 1 speaking]

196
00:14:09,770 --> 00:14:10,870
[officer 2 speaking]

197
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:12,740
[Sgt. Evans speaking]

198
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:15,740
I'm scared because we're
always taught in training

199
00:14:15,770 --> 00:14:17,400
the plus one rule.

200
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:21,200
If somebody has one gun,
you need to assume
that they have another

201
00:14:21,230 --> 00:14:23,900
so that you don't get
complacent and put yourself
in a bad spot.

202
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:27,930
Sergeant Evans
goes for his gun.

203
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,930
He walks towards
the front door.

204
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:33,100
[all speaking indistinctly]

205
00:14:33,130 --> 00:14:35,330
It's not by the book
what should happen,

206
00:14:35,370 --> 00:14:38,100
but I felt like it would
end the situation quickly.

207
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:40,070
Okay.

208
00:15:01,370 --> 00:15:02,870
[officer speaking]

209
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:07,530
Once he's in handcuffs,
there's a great relief
off my shoulders.

210
00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:10,570
We got the job done as a team.

211
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Nobody else was hurt.

212
00:15:12,630 --> 00:15:15,170
[Lt. Norton] Sgt. Evans,
essentially putting himself
in harm's way,

213
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,800
in my opinion, says a lot
about his character.

214
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,800
He's willing
to sacrifice his life

215
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,430
to protect the people
that are upstairs,
that are still in harm's way.

216
00:15:23,470 --> 00:15:24,770
[officer 1 speaking]

217
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,840
[officer 2 speaking]

218
00:15:26,570 --> 00:15:28,230
[Jeran speaking]

219
00:15:28,270 --> 00:15:29,500
[Jeran] I went upstairs
with the officers

220
00:15:29,530 --> 00:15:31,530
that were clearing
the rest of the house.

221
00:15:31,570 --> 00:15:33,600
So I get to the room
where the children are.

222
00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:35,100
I can see
that they're breathing.

223
00:15:35,130 --> 00:15:36,600
They appear to be sleeping.

224
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:40,100
And at that point
I was able to take
a huge breath of relief

225
00:15:40,130 --> 00:15:41,600
knowing that
they had not been hurt.

226
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:58,430
[narrator]Matthew Travis is found guilty

227
00:15:58,470 --> 00:16:01,100
of two counts of shooting
with intent to kill.

228
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,670
He is awaiting sentencing.

229
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
[Lt. Norton]Mental health calls
are one of the calls

230
00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:12,970
that I personally
fear the most

231
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,740
because you're dealing
with somebody

232
00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:16,930
who's not in their right mind.

233
00:16:16,970 --> 00:16:21,300
You couple that with alcohol,
and now you're adding
a whole different element

234
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:23,470
into an already
volatile situation.

235
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,970
So after everything happens

236
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,530
and I see in the door
where he had shot through...

237
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:40,870
and I realized how close I was
to actually being shot.

238
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:46,700
I kind of took a moment
to recognize and appreciate

239
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:50,800
how fortunate I was
to be standing there
and completely uninjured.

240
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:55,630
You don't recognize
the magnitude

241
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:59,840
of the danger that you're in
until the situation is over

242
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:03,400
and when
the situation resolves,
it hits you pretty hard.

243
00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:09,500
[narrator] In Florida,

244
00:17:10,369 --> 00:17:15,170
eighty miles northwest
of Orlando, is Ocala,

245
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:23,069
[Cpl. Esquivel]Ocala during the day,
it's just like any other city.

246
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:25,970
It's nice and busy.
It's away from
our downtown area.

247
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,200
Not a lot of traffic,
a lot of pastures,
a lot of horse farms.

248
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,500
We have our lakes
and our streams,

249
00:17:32,530 --> 00:17:35,170
but it's growing
exponentially.

250
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:45,170
It was a very busy weekend.

251
00:17:46,670 --> 00:17:48,840
We were called to call
the entire night.

252
00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:56,070
It finally slowed down
until I heard Cpl. Esquivel
on the radio.

253
00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:01,740
[narrator]Cpl. Esquivel is at the end
of his night shift,

254
00:18:01,770 --> 00:18:03,740
patrolling with his
canine, Jet.

255
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:08,900
[Cpl. Esquivel] I stopped
at the gas station
on Maricamp,

256
00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:10,930
just on the outside
of the city.

257
00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:13,170
I see a vehicle
enter the parking lot.

258
00:18:15,030 --> 00:18:16,600
The suspect goes inside.

259
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,000
He gave me little
to no attention

260
00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:21,030
when he walked in the store.

261
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:22,970
We never made eye contact.

262
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,370
Leaves the car running,
and the music is blaring
with the windows down.

263
00:18:28,570 --> 00:18:30,070
His actions and his demeanor

264
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:31,600
seemed a little bit
suspicious.

265
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,700
I was going to let him be,
but he exited the parking lot

266
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:38,270
and immediately accelerated,

267
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,430
spinning his tires.

268
00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:44,870
So I pulled out behind him,
started following him
from a distance.

269
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,070
I definitely could tell
he was speeding.

270
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,800
He's creating a larger
and larger distance on me,

271
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,300
which means that
he's traveling at speeds
a lot higher than I am.

272
00:18:57,330 --> 00:19:00,900
So that raised suspicion
that there was something
going on with him.

273
00:19:00,930 --> 00:19:02,900
-[siren wailing]
-[Jet barking]

274
00:19:02,930 --> 00:19:04,630
I knew that if I wanted
to keep up with him,

275
00:19:04,670 --> 00:19:06,470
I had to close the distance.

276
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:09,930
I didn't want to let him
out of my sight because
he is dangerous to the public.

277
00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:14,100
So I accelerated into
well over 100 mph
on that road.

278
00:19:14,130 --> 00:19:16,500
-[speaking indistinctly]
-[Jet barking]

279
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:22,230
[Jet whining]

280
00:19:38,930 --> 00:19:41,270
K9, he's very aware
of what's going on.

281
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:43,970
He knows
we're going to a call.

282
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:47,670
So he's excited.

283
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,200
He's very vocal about it.

284
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:51,630
[Jet barking]

285
00:19:54,370 --> 00:19:56,840
[Sgt. Rodriguez]As Cpl. Esquivel was
providing updates

286
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:59,500
on where he was,
and I was thinking,

287
00:19:59,530 --> 00:20:02,000
where are they
in relation to where I am?

288
00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:06,870
The car was basically
driving in circles.

289
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:09,400
They were coming up
to residential neighborhoods.

290
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,030
How can I get there?

291
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:14,200
I have to make sure
that nobody gets harmed.

292
00:20:17,770 --> 00:20:19,200
[Jet barking]

293
00:20:19,230 --> 00:20:22,600
[Cpl. Esquivel]He is swerving
and changing lanes.

294
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,440
[Jet barking]

295
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:46,470
[officer speaking on radio]

296
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:51,600
[Cpl. Esquivel speaking]

297
00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:58,400
The K9 deputy,
Cpl. Esquivel,

298
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,900
is in a pursuit of the vehicle
near my zone.

299
00:21:01,940 --> 00:21:04,640
In my head. I'm thinking,
when you're chasing somebody,

300
00:21:04,670 --> 00:21:08,170
it's best to have two
to three vehicles in pursuit.

301
00:21:08,740 --> 00:21:10,200
So I need to get there.

302
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,440
[Cpl. Esquivel]Is the vehicle stolen?
Was this used in the crime?

303
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,970
Who am I actually chasing?

304
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,340
All this is running
through my mind,

305
00:21:20,370 --> 00:21:22,570
but I know right now
that he's in front of me.

306
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,740
He knew I was behind him
and he was going to do

307
00:21:25,770 --> 00:21:27,100
everything he could
to get away.

308
00:21:35,570 --> 00:21:38,040
The suspect has
no regard to safety.

309
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:39,700
[Jet barking]

310
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,340
I was afraid that he was gonna
crash into somebody

311
00:21:51,370 --> 00:21:53,470
and hurt himself
and hurt somebody else.

312
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,100
He knew that I was behind him,

313
00:22:00,140 --> 00:22:03,200
and I was thinking,
could I conduct
a pit maneuver?

314
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,740
[Jet barking]

315
00:22:06,370 --> 00:22:09,040
A pit maneuver
is to stop the vehicle

316
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:13,470
by bumping
their rear quarter panel
and spinning them out.

317
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,470
[officer speaking on radio]

318
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:20,640
[Sgt. Rodriguez]As I see them drive past me,
I thought, okay, here we go.1

319
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,370
Then I proceeded to call
the chase from there.

320
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:31,940
[Sgt. Rodriguez
speaking on radio]

321
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,440
[officer speaking on radio]

322
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:38,570
[Cpl. Esquivel]Due to his speeds
and his recklessness,

323
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,300
I knew that If I do
conduct this pit,

324
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:41,840
it could travel
a good distance away

325
00:22:41,870 --> 00:22:42,770
and crash into something

326
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,100
because they're spinning
out of control.

327
00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:47,400
So I'm just
gonna let it play out
just a little bit longer.

328
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,870
I'm traveling parallel to him
a street over.

329
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:56,400
But I was ahead of them.

330
00:22:59,770 --> 00:23:03,600
[narrator]Cpl. Esquivel closes in
to conduct a pit maneuver.

331
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,370
[officer speaking on radio]

332
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,470
[Sgt. Rodriguez
speaking on radio]

333
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:18,440
[officer speaking on radio]

334
00:23:19,770 --> 00:23:21,470
[tires squealing]

335
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:22,900
[Sgt. Rodriguez
speaking on radio]

336
00:23:37,770 --> 00:23:40,700
[Cpl. Esquivel]I pitted the vehicle
and continued to follow it.

337
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:43,770
The bumper was hanging on,
and the last thing I wanted

338
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,800
was for it to fall off
and get under my vehicle

339
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,570
and disable my vehicle
and get me out of the pursuit.

340
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,800
He continued to flee.

341
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,740
At this point, they're coming
right towards me.

342
00:24:00,170 --> 00:24:02,940
I had in my head
that stop sticks
might be the best option.

343
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,370
I try to get on the radio
to say I'm in position,

344
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,600
back off a little bit
so that you don't also
get stop sticked.

345
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:19,970
In a pursuit
of the second vehicle,
Sgt. Rodriguez,

346
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,270
she was the one taking over
the radio communications

347
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:24,670
so that Cpl. Esquivel
could focus on driving.

348
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:26,340
When she calls out
on the radio,

349
00:24:26,370 --> 00:24:28,100
where they are,
what they're passing,

350
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:30,040
and that's kind of
giving me an update to see

351
00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:31,340
how close
they're coming to me.

352
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:33,340
I'm in position.

353
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,440
[Cpl. Esquivel]And I could see it
off in the distance

354
00:24:37,470 --> 00:24:38,770
where her vehicle
was parked.

355
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:42,370
The last thing I want
is to run them over myself.

356
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,640
It was like really trying
to be on my A-game

357
00:24:46,670 --> 00:24:49,670
to rip them out in time
before K9 crossed over them.

358
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,770
[Deputy Eck speaking on radio]

359
00:24:58,770 --> 00:25:00,070
[Cpl. Esquivel speaking]

360
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,640
[Deputy Eck]I was very excited
that I got a good hit on him.

361
00:25:06,670 --> 00:25:08,670
I heard the tires squeal
and everything like that.

362
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,000
He actually flung
the stop sticks off the road.

363
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:17,570
Once he drove over
the stop sticks,
his tires were deflated.

364
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,270
[officer speaking on radio]

365
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,000
[Sgt. Rodriguez
speaking on radio]

366
00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:29,770
[officer speaking on radio]

367
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,340
[Cpl. Esquivel] The vehicle
was barely going 10 mph.

368
00:25:32,370 --> 00:25:34,000
He had absolutely no traction.

369
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:38,640
[Sgt. Rodriguez
speaking on radio]

370
00:25:44,170 --> 00:25:47,470
[Cpl. Esquivel]What worried me was
what's going to happen next.

371
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,370
I knew that this guy
had meant business.

372
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,270
I've never seen anything
like that before.

373
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:02,470
Headbutt his way
out of the window.

374
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:11,070
It almost looked like he was
a dolphin trying to get out
of the car.

375
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:16,140
[Deputy Eck] I don't know
how he managed it.

376
00:26:16,170 --> 00:26:18,240
Do that and continue
to get up and run away.

377
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,200
[Sgt. Rodriguez]My concern is,

378
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,140
is there somebody else
who has a weapon?

379
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:48,240
Is there something more
that we're missing?

380
00:26:51,970 --> 00:26:56,140
I felt a sigh of relief
knowing that there was
no one else inside that car.

381
00:26:58,870 --> 00:27:01,740
[Cpl. Esquivel] When that door
opens after the pursuit,
Jet's coming to work.

382
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:07,100
There are very few people
that have gotten away
from Jet.

383
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:09,300
He's 90 pounds of pure muscle.

384
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:11,270
When he apprehends you,

385
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:12,870
he's gonna hold you
until I get there.

386
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,470
This guy's
in my world now.

387
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,670
He's not getting away
from Jet.

388
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,470
[officer] Get them off.

389
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:36,470
[groaning]

390
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,670
[Cpl. Esquivel speaking]

391
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,240
After incidents like this,
there's always a story.

392
00:27:54,270 --> 00:27:56,670
The suspect made a statement
that he was robbed

393
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:59,570
at the Circle K,
of his gold chain.

394
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,040
And I knew that was not true
because I was sitting there

395
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:04,600
in the parking lot
watching him the entire time.

396
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:11,270
[narrator] The suspect,
Tyler Fayconsolo,

397
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:15,370
is charged with offenses
of DUI property damage,

398
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,500
felony fleeing,
and resisting an officer.

399
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,440
He is awaiting trial.

400
00:28:24,740 --> 00:28:28,700
[Sgt. Rodriguez]After the suspect was taken to
the hospital by EMT personnel,

401
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:31,700
the registered owner
actually showed up on scene

402
00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:35,200
and it was a friend
of her husband's.

403
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,100
He stole their vehicle
while they were asleep

404
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:40,870
and he took the vehicle
on a joyride.

405
00:28:42,140 --> 00:28:44,540
[Deputy Eck] He obviously was
very desperate to get away.

406
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:53,040
[Sgt. Rodriguez]I've never seen
somebody use their head

407
00:28:53,070 --> 00:28:54,840
to get out of a car like that.

408
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:57,900
I was amazed that
he didn't have head trauma.

409
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:00,400
[Deputy Eck]For this incident,

410
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,340
Since I successfully
stopped sticked
the suspect vehicle,

411
00:29:02,370 --> 00:29:04,140
I was able to be awarded

412
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:07,270
this stop stick pin
right here on my uniform.

413
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:09,500
I'm very proud of it.

414
00:29:10,370 --> 00:29:12,740
But I don't think
he realized that the one

415
00:29:12,770 --> 00:29:14,900
that was pursuing him
was the K9 deputy.

416
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,900
We all united as a team
to put this individual
into custody.

417
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,300
[narrator] Fifty miles
northeast of Phoenix, Arizona,

418
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:36,500
is the town of Tonto Basin.

419
00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:46,300
[Sgt. Nudson]I've lived in Tonto Basin
about 13 years.

420
00:29:46,340 --> 00:29:49,840
It has that small town feel.

421
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:55,040
When people think of Arizona,
they usually think of cactus
and deserts.

422
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,740
But in reality, Arizona
has torrential flooding.

423
00:30:02,770 --> 00:30:06,900
The tunnel basin has a creek
that passes through town.

424
00:30:06,940 --> 00:30:11,340
Many residents live
on the backside of the creek.

425
00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:15,840
Whenever it's flooded,
crossing the creek,

426
00:30:15,870 --> 00:30:21,000
the amount of water
coming down is usually
a dangerous amount.

427
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,170
The creek can be
very deceptive.

428
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,170
[911 officer speaking]

429
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,440
[man speaking]

430
00:30:45,970 --> 00:30:49,500
[Sgt. Nudson]I was driving on patrol.
When I heard that call,

431
00:30:49,540 --> 00:30:51,900
I immediately responded
to the area.

432
00:30:53,170 --> 00:30:55,200
Whenever I hear
a call like this,

433
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
it definitely gives me
a sense of urgency.

434
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:03,940
I knew that we were
gonna need the state troopers
with their helicopter.

435
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,670
Swift water rescue is
probably one of the more

436
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:13,400
high priority calls
that we can get.

437
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,400
But we never really know
what exactly we have

438
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,370
on our hands
until we arrive overhead.

439
00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:26,770
On a good day,
it's maybe 20 minutes

440
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,270
to where this rescue
was taking place.

441
00:31:31,540 --> 00:31:33,070
[911 officer speaking]

442
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:34,470
[man speaking]

443
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,270
[911 officer speaking]

444
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,540
[Scott]The day of the incident,

445
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,770
we had several storms
that were in the area.

446
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,400
So that is why the creek
was running at that time.

447
00:31:55,770 --> 00:31:59,240
[narrator] The stranded driver
was going from the west side
of the river

448
00:31:59,270 --> 00:32:01,300
to his home on the east side.

449
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,200
The creek has three dirt roads

450
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,840
that allow members
of the community

451
00:32:07,870 --> 00:32:11,000
to drive from west to east.

452
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,640
Whatever the water flows
across the dirt roads,

453
00:32:14,670 --> 00:32:19,100
if I hear someone stuck,
my concern is,
is the water increasing?

454
00:32:19,140 --> 00:32:22,040
Is there more debris
flowing down the creek?

455
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,340
We've had young children,

456
00:32:24,370 --> 00:32:27,140
we've had adults
that have tried to cross,

457
00:32:27,170 --> 00:32:29,170
and we've had some
successful rescues,

458
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,500
but we've had
a number of fatalities

459
00:32:31,540 --> 00:32:34,970
through there,
where the vehicle
gets washed out.

460
00:32:36,370 --> 00:32:39,040
[911 officer speaking]

461
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,800
[man speaking]

462
00:32:45,140 --> 00:32:47,070
[911 officer speaking]

463
00:32:48,770 --> 00:32:49,770
[man speaking]

464
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,340
[911 officer speaking]

465
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,400
[Sgt. Nudson]Sometimes people
will ignore the signs.

466
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:03,000
Most people think that
they are going to be lucky
and make it across the water.

467
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,770
I continued to the location
and drove as close as I could

468
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,670
to the center of the creek.

469
00:33:14,940 --> 00:33:18,040
The water was moving
pretty fast.

470
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:20,240
We had some weather,
a lot of low lying clouds

471
00:33:20,270 --> 00:33:23,770
on the mountain ranges
between us and where
the rescue is taking place.

472
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,740
So there was some navigating
in and around the canyons

473
00:33:26,770 --> 00:33:29,570
to kind of get into
the Tonto Basin area.

474
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600
We don't know what we have
at this point.

475
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,240
We're always kind of
anticipating the worst.

476
00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:43,300
[narrator] Randy Roberson is
on the bank of the creek
filming the disaster.

477
00:33:45,070 --> 00:33:46,770
I'm trying to just
document that,

478
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,400
"Hey, we've got another
vehicle in the creek,"

479
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,740
and trying to remind people

480
00:33:49,770 --> 00:33:51,000
that, hey,
this is what happens

481
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,170
when you get out there
in the water.

482
00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:56,900
[Sgt. Nudson]When I spot the vehicle,

483
00:33:56,940 --> 00:33:59,240
I noticed the water
was increasing its height,

484
00:33:59,270 --> 00:34:01,240
starting to approach
the top of the hood.

485
00:34:02,170 --> 00:34:04,000
The chances
of the motorist surviving

486
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,370
if he was washed away
from the vehicle, very slim.

487
00:34:19,310 --> 00:34:21,870
[Sgt. Nudson] When I saw
the helicopter arrive,
I was relieved.

488
00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:28,739
[Scott] We really
did not have any updates
on the driver's condition.

489
00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:31,010
A person that has been
exposed to cold water

490
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,969
for an extended period of time
and in this case,

491
00:34:33,010 --> 00:34:35,040
for about two hours,

492
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:36,969
it makes it so
their muscles are not

493
00:34:37,010 --> 00:34:39,010
working the way
that they normally would.

494
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:42,440
And it progresses to the legs

495
00:34:42,469 --> 00:34:45,210
not being
able to support weight.

496
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,900
In addition to their ability
to make decisions.

497
00:34:56,409 --> 00:34:58,640
Myself and Trooper Dodge
come up with a plan.

498
00:34:58,670 --> 00:35:01,370
He's gonna sit in the back
of the helicopter

499
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:03,610
and we're gonna come around
to the pickup truck

500
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,870
and just do a low hover
right over the bed
of the truck,

501
00:35:06,900 --> 00:35:08,840
and he's gonna get out
in the bed of the truck

502
00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:10,870
and make contact
with the victim.

503
00:35:17,310 --> 00:35:19,010
This is going to be
a tough rescue,

504
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,170
even with the helicopter.

505
00:35:21,210 --> 00:35:24,610
Because if something changes,
the vehicle moves,

506
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,110
myself and my fellow deputies

507
00:35:27,140 --> 00:35:29,240
had to be prepared
to enter the water.

508
00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:31,470
So I got my swift water
gear on.

509
00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:38,270
[Scott]There was rainfall
that was happening

510
00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:39,570
up towards the north of us.

511
00:35:39,610 --> 00:35:41,170
So is there more water
coming down?

512
00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:42,710
Is there a surge of water

513
00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:44,610
two or three feet
headed our direction?

514
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:52,470
A flash flood can come
really, really fast.

515
00:35:52,510 --> 00:35:55,740
It only takes a few inches,
five, six inches of water

516
00:35:55,770 --> 00:35:58,810
and they can afloat
a greyhound bus.

517
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,040
If the truck were to have
been moved downriver
at that point in time,

518
00:36:02,070 --> 00:36:05,840
it very well could have
changed this from a rescue
to a recovery.

519
00:36:09,110 --> 00:36:11,740
We do not want to touch
those skids to the truck.

520
00:36:11,770 --> 00:36:13,840
We don't want to bump it
or dislodge it

521
00:36:13,870 --> 00:36:17,010
and possibly cause that
truck going downstream.

522
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,110
[Russ] So I started
in an open doorway

523
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:25,940
and then had my feet
on the step

524
00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:27,900
and ready to step out
to the skid.

525
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:39,410
There's nothing guaranteeing
that that truck isn't going

526
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,870
to all of a sudden
start moving.

527
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:48,410
I disconnected
from my safety connection
point on the aircraft.

528
00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:52,040
There's still movement
on that vehicle

529
00:36:52,070 --> 00:36:54,110
because of the water
and the rotor wash.

530
00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:02,570
I carefully stepped down
to get my footing
onto the vehicle.

531
00:37:03,940 --> 00:37:07,110
I was pretty relieved
to not feel any movement
from that truck.

532
00:37:08,810 --> 00:37:11,470
[Sgt. Nudson]When I saw the helicopter
dropping off the trooper,

533
00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:14,640
I felt that he needed
a lot of prayer.

534
00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:21,310
[Scott]And we're not going to just
hold that position.

535
00:37:21,340 --> 00:37:23,270
I don't want to create
all of that wind

536
00:37:23,310 --> 00:37:25,340
and rotor down wash
on him.

537
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,440
[Russ speaking]

538
00:37:29,470 --> 00:37:30,370
[man speaking]

539
00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:32,970
[Scott] It seemed
like an eternity.

540
00:37:35,140 --> 00:37:36,710
You're looking
at your watch a lot

541
00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:37,900
and saying, kind of,
hurry up,

542
00:37:37,940 --> 00:37:39,170
hurry up, hurry up.

543
00:37:39,210 --> 00:37:40,610
You're holding your breath

544
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,370
hoping that
that truck doesn't move.

545
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:46,670
[Randy] One misstep,
and this is gonna be
even a bigger tragedy.

546
00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:48,840
So everyone's kind of
sitting right on the edge
of their seat,

547
00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:51,110
waiting to see how this
is all going to play out.

548
00:37:56,510 --> 00:37:57,740
[man speaking]

549
00:37:57,770 --> 00:37:59,370
[Russ speaking]

550
00:38:17,940 --> 00:38:19,970
[Russ]But once I was able to
get hands on the driver,

551
00:38:20,010 --> 00:38:21,740
it was a pretty major relief.

552
00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:28,340
Trooper Dodge
gives me the signal,

553
00:38:28,370 --> 00:38:30,240
and then I'll start to move
the helicopter back in.

554
00:38:33,610 --> 00:38:36,670
This is probably the most
dangerous part of the rescue.

555
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:39,110
[Russ speaking]

556
00:38:39,140 --> 00:38:41,140
The driver, at that point,
the experiences he had

557
00:38:41,170 --> 00:38:43,440
was probably
one of the worst days
of his life.

558
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,900
So the potential for him
to panic was pretty high.

559
00:38:52,770 --> 00:38:54,370
[Scott] Yeah,
time is of the essence
at this point.

560
00:38:54,410 --> 00:38:56,110
You just don't want
to risk the chance

561
00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:58,240
of that pickup truck
coming dislodged

562
00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:00,270
while they're trying to climb
on board the helicopter.

563
00:39:01,340 --> 00:39:03,010
[Russ]If the vehicle started moving,

564
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,240
the idea was
to grab the driver

565
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:08,310
and basically jump over
the side of the pickup truck.

566
00:39:10,340 --> 00:39:12,840
[Sgt. Nudson]As I'm watching the truck
and preparing myself

567
00:39:12,870 --> 00:39:16,010
with the rescue line
to jump in the water.

568
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:20,740
[Russ] We're trying to move
someone who is hypothermic,

569
00:39:20,770 --> 00:39:22,410
has been through
a traumatic event,

570
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,440
is wearing gear
that they're not used to.

571
00:39:50,210 --> 00:39:51,940
[Scott] Now that our patient
and Trooper Dodge

572
00:39:51,970 --> 00:39:55,710
are onboard the helicopter,
there's a huge sigh of relief.

573
00:39:55,740 --> 00:39:58,270
They're both safe,
and now we have
to transport them

574
00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:59,270
over to the shoreline.

575
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:05,070
[Sgt. Nudson]Once Trooper Dodge brought
the motorists safely to land,

576
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:06,310
I was relieved.

577
00:40:09,070 --> 00:40:10,870
Driving across the roadway

578
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:14,210
when it's flooded
is a misdemeanor crime.

579
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,570
When the victim was
issued a citation,

580
00:40:17,610 --> 00:40:19,940
it appeared that he realized
he made a mistake,

581
00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:23,770
and I think
he was appreciative
that we saved his life.

582
00:40:25,810 --> 00:40:28,170
[Scott] I mean,
the overall outcome
was great.

583
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:31,610
We were all excited
that nobody got hurt.

584
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,640
Nobody was killed.

585
00:40:33,670 --> 00:40:37,070
[Russ]These types of rescues
are at very high risk.

586
00:40:37,110 --> 00:40:38,810
I try not to think
about them too much

587
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,270
because if you concentrate

588
00:40:41,310 --> 00:40:43,170
on the dangers
and the hazards,

589
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:45,810
it can affect your decision
making ability.

590
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,340
But knowing that these rescues
and the jobs that we do,

591
00:40:50,370 --> 00:40:53,370
there are inherent risks
and are inherent hazards

592
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:55,470
that can have
catastrophic events.

593
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,740
[Scott]We all make bad decisions
at times in our lives.

594
00:40:59,770 --> 00:41:01,070
He made a bad decision.

595
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:03,840
He made a decision
that potentially
could have been fatal.

596
00:41:03,870 --> 00:41:05,470
At the end of the rescue,
he actually came up

597
00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:07,340
and shook my hand
and apologized

598
00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:10,370
and said, "I am so sorry
for risking your life."

599
00:41:11,070 --> 00:41:12,210
We're there to help people.

600
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:13,310
At the end of the day,
that's what we're there for.

601
00:41:20,110 --> 00:41:21,210
In New Mexico...

602
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,440
[yelling]

603
00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:23,710
If they're willing to
shoot a deputy

604
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,370
there's no telling what else
they are willing to do.

605
00:41:25,410 --> 00:41:27,210
[rapid gun fire]

606
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:28,740
In Oklahoma...

607
00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:30,770
Driving a lifted pickup truck
that fast

608
00:41:30,810 --> 00:41:32,640
is a recipe for disaster.
