1
00:00:08,409 --> 00:00:10,642
[narrator] In Florida,
a chase...
2
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:13,545
[Deputy Michael Stringer]
My car's bouncing, sliding,
and I'm just doing
3
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:15,414
everything I can to stay
with the vehicle.
4
00:00:15,416 --> 00:00:16,849
[dispatcher speaking on radio]
5
00:00:18,052 --> 00:00:19,284
[Stringer speaking]
6
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:20,819
[narrator] ...leads to
a manhunt at night.
7
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:25,624
[officer speaking]
8
00:00:28,029 --> 00:00:30,029
[Pilot Clayton Starling]
I was surprised
that I was not
9
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:31,496
picking him up anywhere.
10
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:37,403
It's the warm part of
the year, so rattlesnakes
are coming out.
11
00:00:37,405 --> 00:00:41,040
Water moccasins are out.
So you don't know what
you're gonna encounter.
12
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:46,945
[narrator] And in Michigan,
multiple home invasions.
13
00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:49,648
[woman] The door? Yeah.
14
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:55,254
I looked and I saw a person
standing in front of me.
15
00:00:55,956 --> 00:00:57,222
[Gardocki speaking]
16
00:00:59,126 --> 00:01:00,258
[Stathakis speaking]
17
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:01,827
[Deputy Chief Archie Hamilton]
There was nothing
18
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:03,328
that would stop us...
19
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:05,964
[Groat speaking]
20
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:07,499
[Hamilton]
...putting an end
to this terror.
21
00:01:08,502 --> 00:01:10,402
[indistinct radio chatter]
22
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:13,806
[officer] Sherriff's office
Come outside!
23
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:23,916
[narrator] The Ocala Nationa
Forest covers nearly
half a million acres.
24
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:27,719
Patrolling it is up to
the Marion County
Sheriff's Office.
25
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:32,224
Deputy Michael Stringer
is on the evening shift.
26
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:37,029
[Stringer] It's a dense
forest area. There is
some houses.
27
00:01:37,031 --> 00:01:38,530
But if there's people
out and about,
28
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:40,199
and they're on
the side of the road,
29
00:01:40,201 --> 00:01:41,700
we gotta make sure
their vehicle's not
having issues
30
00:01:42,903 --> 00:01:44,837
and to make sure
they're not lost on a trail
31
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:51,243
We do get the occasional call
for a bear or an alligator,
32
00:01:51,312 --> 00:01:54,213
but we're there to protect
the animal more than
anything else.
33
00:02:01,922 --> 00:02:04,623
Generally, there's not too
many cars in the late evenin
34
00:02:06,193 --> 00:02:09,061
As I'm driving, I see a blu
colored Dodge Durango
35
00:02:09,063 --> 00:02:10,395
on the left-hand
side of the road
36
00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:12,531
and it appears to possibly
be broken down.
37
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:20,739
I'm gonna go back and check
this driver. And as I'm comi
back up towards the vehicle
38
00:02:20,808 --> 00:02:22,006
he just takes off.
39
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,817
Generally, if someone
speeds away from you,
40
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,018
you got something to hide.
41
00:02:37,158 --> 00:02:39,057
And the vehicle,
he's just going.
42
00:02:40,161 --> 00:02:41,827
[siren blaring]
43
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:44,229
[Stringer speaking]
44
00:02:57,044 --> 00:02:58,977
[dispatcher speaking on radio]
45
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,556
[Stringer] The speed limit
on Southeast 183rd Avenue Ro
is 30 miles per hour.
46
00:03:10,624 --> 00:03:13,258
We were going 60, and they
were... he was still creating
a little bit of distance.
47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,634
Doing everything he can to g
away, there's no other
vehicles on the road.
48
00:03:22,736 --> 00:03:25,604
[siren wailing]
49
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:27,139
[Stringer speaking]
50
00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:30,442
[dispatcher speaking]
51
00:03:35,316 --> 00:03:37,749
[indistinct radio chatter]
52
00:03:44,892 --> 00:03:47,025
And I'm just doing everything
I can to stay
with the vehicle.
53
00:03:57,204 --> 00:04:00,439
[Stringer] As I'm getting
closer to the vehicle,
he makes a dramatic brake.
54
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:01,907
And he makes a turn.
55
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:02,941
This time, into the woods.
56
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:05,110
[Stringer speaking]
57
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:14,219
My car is bouncing. Sliding
58
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:16,822
There's sugar sand,
my vehicle's struggling
to get through.
59
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,433
We go 200, 300 foot,
60
00:04:28,535 --> 00:04:31,403
and he makes a left-hand turn
61
00:04:31,405 --> 00:04:33,405
and crashes into a small tre
62
00:04:49,056 --> 00:04:53,759
I see the subject jump out o
the vehicle and begin runnin
eastbound into the woods.
63
00:04:55,763 --> 00:04:58,230
So I jump out and I take
off after the subject.
64
00:05:04,705 --> 00:05:06,705
[indistinct radio chatter]
65
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:08,206
[Stringer speaking]
66
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:15,914
[indistinct radio chatter]
67
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,022
[Stringer] This gentleman,
he knew his way around
these woods specifically.
68
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:26,525
He knew where he was going.
He had a destination in mind,
69
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:27,959
and that's where
he was going to.
70
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:30,862
[Stringer speaking]
71
00:05:31,398 --> 00:05:32,831
[dispatcher speaking]
72
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:35,300
[Stringer speaking]
73
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:37,336
[dispatcher speaking]
74
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:42,708
[Stringer speaking]
75
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,219
We're about a quarter
mile into the woods
at this point.
76
00:05:54,221 --> 00:05:57,456
I don't know what he has in
his possession, whether it b
a weapon, gun, knife.
77
00:05:58,258 --> 00:05:59,858
There's just a lot
of unknowns,
78
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,160
and that's a situation you
don't wanna put yourself in,
79
00:06:02,229 --> 00:06:04,329
especially when you ain't
got anyone there to help you.
80
00:06:08,102 --> 00:06:09,534
[dispatcher speaking]
81
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:12,104
[Stringer speaking]
82
00:06:13,407 --> 00:06:15,006
[dispatcher speaking]
83
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,012
[Stringer speaking]
84
00:06:26,754 --> 00:06:27,452
[dispatcher speaking]
85
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:34,059
[siren blaring]
86
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:39,030
[Lee] Bolo is
a German shepherd
that's from Holland.
87
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:41,733
He is two and
a half years old.
88
00:06:41,835 --> 00:06:44,035
I've had him for four months
89
00:06:45,806 --> 00:06:46,938
At this point,
90
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,441
we are certified
and on the road
91
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:51,309
and that's about all
the training that
we have together,
92
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:56,448
but I do have confidence
in him in handling this task
93
00:07:02,256 --> 00:07:07,159
When I arrive to
the scene, the driver
already fled on foot.
94
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:09,561
He was the only
person in the car.
95
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:11,663
So we don't have to
worry about anybody else.
96
00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:17,502
Bolo understands that
he is to locate an odor
97
00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:20,906
and then follow it until he
gets to the end of the source.
98
00:07:23,644 --> 00:07:26,545
Bolo was immediately able
to locate the scent,
99
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:29,114
and then it was
time to go to work.
100
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:30,449
[beeping]
101
00:07:44,431 --> 00:07:47,232
There was two other deputie
that were able to assist me
102
00:07:47,301 --> 00:07:51,536
Deputy French and Deputy Bak
were along with me just
to watch my back
103
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:53,405
while I'm watching
the dog work.
104
00:08:13,227 --> 00:08:17,028
It being a rural area
it does make things
a little bit easier,
105
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:18,964
in terms of
the contamination.
106
00:08:20,501 --> 00:08:23,401
You don't have as
many people walking around,
107
00:08:23,403 --> 00:08:26,938
but you do have animals.
Animals can be
a contaminating factor.
108
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,123
Bolo's lead is 30 feet long
109
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:48,960
It gives Bolo the sense
of working freedom.
110
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:52,931
To where I'm not restrictin
him to go wherever he wants
111
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:56,401
and that helps the dog
feel like they're
working independently.
112
00:08:59,172 --> 00:09:01,406
Working independently
is very important.
113
00:09:10,517 --> 00:09:14,819
[narrator] As night falls,
the helicopter unit
is called in.
114
00:09:17,124 --> 00:09:18,723
[officer speaking on radio]
115
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:24,229
[Starling]
One of the things that
we usually do is
116
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:26,798
make sure that there's
nobody coming back
117
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,500
towards their area
118
00:09:28,502 --> 00:09:32,304
or they are not hiding waiti
to ambush a deputy or office
119
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,579
[indistinct radio chatter]
120
00:09:47,421 --> 00:09:51,323
[Starling] Due to the fact
that this was in
a rural forestry area,
121
00:09:51,325 --> 00:09:54,426
I knew that there was nowhere
for him to go to hide
122
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:56,561
such as going into a house.
123
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:03,034
I was surprised that I was n
picking him up anywhere.
124
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:17,816
[Lee] Being in
the Ocala National Forest
when it's fully dark,
125
00:10:17,818 --> 00:10:21,953
you can't see up
to about 5 feet in
front of you, if that.
126
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:28,927
There's danger lurking around
any corner and at every step.
127
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,099
It's the warm
part of the year.
128
00:10:34,101 --> 00:10:38,436
So rattlesnakes
are coming out,
water moccasins are out.
129
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:41,940
You don't know what
you're going to encounter.
130
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:58,056
[Lee] Bolo is out
in front of me, 30 feet,
give or take,
131
00:10:58,058 --> 00:11:01,660
so I'm relying on his nose
to help me get where
we need to go.
132
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:19,310
[officer 1 speaking]
133
00:11:27,721 --> 00:11:29,620
[officer 2 speaking]
134
00:11:30,857 --> 00:11:34,459
[Starling] When I saw
the vehicles that were drivi
through our search area,
135
00:11:34,561 --> 00:11:37,562
I notified our perimeter uni
136
00:11:37,631 --> 00:11:39,431
to keep an eye
on these vehicles,
137
00:11:39,433 --> 00:11:41,099
just in case they were ther
138
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:43,601
to pick up the suspect
that was fleeing from us.
139
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:48,206
[Starling speaking]
140
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,842
[Lee] When they get out
and run, it's easy for them
141
00:11:50,944 --> 00:11:53,511
to get to a place,
to make a phone call
142
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:56,715
and then get picked up,
because they know
exactly where they're at.
143
00:12:00,854 --> 00:12:02,120
[officer 1 speaking]
144
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:05,122
[officer 2 speaking]
145
00:12:12,332 --> 00:12:15,133
[Starling] There were
numerous ponds
within our perimeter.
146
00:12:16,703 --> 00:12:18,603
So I began searching
the waters.
147
00:12:23,043 --> 00:12:26,411
[officer 1 speaking]
148
00:12:27,314 --> 00:12:29,914
[officer 2 speaking]
149
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:34,452
[Starling] In one particula
area, it looked like some
vegetation had been disturbe
150
00:12:34,521 --> 00:12:37,021
which seemed like it would
have been recent activity.
151
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:41,760
[Starling speaking]
152
00:12:47,501 --> 00:12:49,534
[Starling] I did see
a slight heat source.
153
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:55,406
The heat source was so smal
that we could not either
154
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:59,611
identify or eliminate
that possibility of it
being a person.
155
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:01,412
[Starling speaking]
156
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:05,617
[officer speaking]
157
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:13,158
[Starling speaking]
158
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:35,847
[Lee] This hot spot could b
not only the possibility of
the person we're looking for
159
00:13:35,916 --> 00:13:39,751
but an animal,
such as an alligator
laying there,
160
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:43,655
or a snake
or anything at this point.
161
00:13:50,931 --> 00:13:55,900
I don't know
where the person is
or how they're laying.
162
00:13:59,439 --> 00:14:03,508
They could be laying down
in a position where they can
see us coming
163
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:04,709
and then start shooting at us.
164
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:24,429
[Starling speaking]
165
00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:32,804
When we do send a K-9 team
or a search team into a targ
that we identified,
166
00:14:33,707 --> 00:14:36,641
there is a sense of fear
167
00:14:36,743 --> 00:14:40,111
that we may have sent them
into a bad situation,
168
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:41,646
to where they could get hurt.
169
00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:45,116

Around the lake,
all you can hear
is frogs croaking.
171
00:15:02,936 --> 00:15:06,304
Other than that,
it's extremely quiet
172
00:15:06,306 --> 00:15:08,306
other than the helicopter
flying ahead.
173
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:16,547
This is a really good spot
for someone to hide.
174
00:15:17,517 --> 00:15:19,050
Sawgrass was really tall.
175
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:21,219
He's very camouflaged.

to my left and then...

00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:22,013
I can barely see
his silhouette in the dark
181
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:26,250
and I see him pawing
at the water at this point,
182
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:28,619
which slightly confused me.

and I see just

the eye and the nose
of our suspect.
195
00:17:11,831 --> 00:17:15,299
Once he raised his arm
out of the water,
Bolo engaged his arm.
196
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:18,302
I pulled Bolo back,
197
00:17:18,304 --> 00:17:23,508
who's attached to the guy
and attached
to his lead and me,
198

I'm giving the guy
clear commands of what to do
and how to do it
204
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,601

as quickly as possible.

that he was even helping us

[Stringer] When they
get the suspect
out of the woods
224
00:19:02,909 --> 00:19:04,041
and they get
to speaking with him,
225
00:19:04,043 --> 00:19:07,445
he tells me his name
is Kasper O'Berry.
226
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:10,014
I know this name,
I know he has warrants.
227
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:13,151
And, at that point,
it's obvious to why
he was running.
228
00:19:13,219 --> 00:19:14,885
He's a wanted man.
229
00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:19,423
[narrator] Kasper O'Berry
was found guilty
of fleeing and eluding
230
00:19:19,425 --> 00:19:21,726
and driving without a licens
231
00:19:21,728 --> 00:19:25,062
He was sentenced to 180 day
in county jail.
232
00:19:28,701 --> 00:19:30,434
[Stringer]
Kasper O'Berry told me
233
00:19:30,436 --> 00:19:33,604
that the reason he hid
in the lake is because
he'd seen it in movies,
234
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:36,507
and then some of his friends
told him that if he was
to hide under the water,
235
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,409
the K-9s wouldn't be
able to smell him.
236
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:44,015
[Lee] Hiding in water
does the opposite effect,
237
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:45,783
it actually holds odor
238
00:19:45,785 --> 00:19:49,053
and made it a lot easier
for the dog to go
straight to him.
239
00:19:49,055 --> 00:19:49,720
[O'Berry] It hurts.

suffered minor puncture
wounds from the K-9's teeth
243
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:01,332
And while we were
at the hospital,
244
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:04,235
Kasper O'Berry told me
that he would never run
from a K-9 again.

10 miles southwest of Detroi
246
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:17,715

more than anything.

However, there's pros and cons
to working in the community
that you grew up in.
250
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:35,733
You know, the pros is you kn
the geographical area,
251
00:20:35,802 --> 00:20:37,935
you know the streets
like the back of your hand.
252
00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:42,406
You know the people,
which is a huge benefit
for law enforcement.
253
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:44,942
The cons is
you also know the people.
254
00:20:44,944 --> 00:20:48,012
Sometimes, you have
to enforce the law
255
00:20:48,014 --> 00:20:49,947
and you may know them,
it may be your neighbor.
256

we realized we had
a major problem.
261
00:21:17,043 --> 00:21:19,710
We had multiple
home invasions,
262
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:22,013
an attempted stolen vehicle
263
00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:23,314
a garage burglary
264
00:21:23,316 --> 00:21:26,417
all in a small
geographical area.

[dispatcher speaking]
266
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:40,831
That implies we have
somebody that's associated
with that neighborhood
267
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:43,801
who's out there committing
very serious crimes,
268
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,604
who has no intention
on stopping,
269
00:21:46,606 --> 00:21:48,306

that I went
to high school with,
281
00:22:28,948 --> 00:22:33,851
live in that geographical ar
where these crimes
were occurring.
282
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:38,956
There was nothing
that would stop us
from finding this individual
283
00:22:38,958 --> 00:22:41,425
and putting an end
to this tear.
284
00:22:45,231 --> 00:22:49,033
We pinpointed the area
and the timeframes
285

when these crimes
were occurring.
286
00:22:51,104 --> 00:22:55,506
And that's what we used
as a map to place our officers
in those areas.
287
00:22:57,143 --> 00:23:00,511
And on August 2nd,
that strategy paid off.

It was a, you know,
Saturday night.
289
00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:09,754
There were what,
four of us in the house?
290
00:23:09,822 --> 00:23:13,124
I fell asleep on the chair,
which is not an unusual thing.
291
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:16,160
I woke up and I looked,
292
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:19,964
and I saw a person
standing pretty much
in front of me.

He walked towards
the back of the house.

I walked
to the back of the house,
there's a laundry room,
295
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:39,950
and I didn't go outside
because I was scared.

There's just no denying that.
I didn't...

I didn't step foot outside.

I shut all the doors
299
00:23:47,727 --> 00:23:52,263
and then I sat there
and convinced myself
that I was crazy,
300
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:54,598
and I was wrong,
and there was nobody
in the house,
301

and it was a shadow.

00:26:02,528 --> 00:26:04,595
Because we're the second car
in the chase...
342
00:26:04,597 --> 00:26:05,896
[Stathakis speaking]
343
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:07,798
[Gardocki] We can't
really see what's ahead of u
344
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,033
[Stathakis speaking]
345
00:26:09,134 --> 00:26:11,302
Only the suspect can see
what's ahead of them.

[Stathakis speaking]
352
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:45,603
[Gardocki] I managed
to fall twice.
353
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:48,305
Tore my hand open.
354
00:26:48,307 --> 00:26:49,707

-[Gardocki shouting]
-[bleep]
356
00:26:51,811 --> 00:26:54,111
[Gardocki] He ran
into thick brush
357
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,447
and at that point,
I lost sight of him.
358
00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:04,755
There's no sign of him
on the street.
359

[Barwig speaking]
371
00:28:03,816 --> 00:28:06,517
It immediately became
pretty clear to all of us
372
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:08,619
that this isn't gonna be
an easy track.
373
00:28:08,621 --> 00:28:12,022
The weather on that night,
there was quite a bit of rain.
374
00:28:12,024 --> 00:28:15,159
As mentioned,
all of us were doing our bes
375
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:17,227
to try to apprehend
the guy,
376
00:28:17,229 --> 00:28:20,197
but then it almost hindered
the K-9 because when you sta
mixing all the scents
377
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,700
and you get so many people
tracking through an area,
378
00:28:22,702 --> 00:28:26,837
it makes it harder for the d
to track that subject.
379
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:27,705
All the way to that fence.
380
00:28:27,707 --> 00:28:28,605
[Stathakis speaking]
381
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:32,042
[Stathakis] All right, so...
382
00:28:34,413 --> 00:28:35,245

383
00:28:40,619 --> 00:28:41,518

387
00:29:01,006 --> 00:29:04,308
[Stathakis speaking]
My little brother, Alex,
also works here.
388
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:07,745
We were on the same shift
for probably upwards
to three years.
389
00:29:07,846 --> 00:29:09,513
So it's been a joy
working with him.
390
00:29:09,515 --> 00:29:11,014
We get along great.
391
00:29:11,016 --> 00:29:15,119
As far as chemistry,
communication,
anything like that, spot-on.
392
00:29:15,121 --> 00:29:16,120

-[Alex Stathakis]
It's not bad.
-[Stathakis]
397
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,735
Unfortunately, the K-9 search
was unable to pick up a track.
398
00:29:31,804 --> 00:29:33,804
We were unable to locate
the offender.
399
00:29:33,806 --> 00:29:38,108
We continued to check
the immediate area,
400
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,810
but ultimately
we were called off.
401
00:29:44,416 --> 00:29:47,518
So you immediately have
that sense of defeat.
402
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,356
You know, that might've
been your only chance
to get this guy.
403

[Gardocki speaking]
405
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:07,938
[Hamilton] Well, the suspec
may have been able to get away
that night.
406
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,308
But he left
one valuable piece of evidence
on the railroad tracks.
407
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:12,442
and that was that truck.
408
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:14,044

412
00:30:18,417 --> 00:30:21,518
[narrator] Officers run
the plate and discover
the truck was stolen
413
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,822
from the same area
where the break-ins happened
414
00:30:24,824 --> 00:30:25,655

[officer 1 speaking]
418
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:35,165
[Hamilton] There were
several items
inside that truck
419
00:30:35,234 --> 00:30:37,534
that link to
a home invasion
in our city
420
00:30:37,603 --> 00:30:41,004
that just occurred
a couple hours
before the pursuit.
421
00:30:41,006 --> 00:30:42,039
[officer 2 speaking]
422
00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:46,443
[Gardocki speaking]
423
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:10,400
[Andy Witkowski] So I get u
at around 7:00, 7:30
to let the two dogs out.
424
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:13,103
And when I get up,
my wife says to me,
425
00:31:13,105 --> 00:31:15,405
"Andy, I think someone
was in the house."
426
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:17,841
I call the police.
427
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:19,343

[officer speaking]
441
00:32:03,055 --> 00:32:06,723
[Ann Marie Witkowski]
The safe... I don't know ho
in the world he got the saf
442
00:32:06,725 --> 00:32:08,725
because it's very heavy.
443
00:32:08,727 --> 00:32:12,629
But it was empty
because my parents
had recently moved,
444
00:32:12,631 --> 00:32:14,798
and they gave me that safe.
445
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,934
And I didn't put
anything in it
446
00:32:17,002 --> 00:32:19,536
'cause I couldn't figure out
how to do the combination yet.
447
00:32:22,207 --> 00:32:22,906
[officer speaking]
448
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:26,743

449
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:29,112
[Andy speaking]
450
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:33,517
She had spent her own money,
$250, which was a lot for her.
451
00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:40,657
She lost her prom.
She lost her graduation
during the pandemic.
452
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:42,392
She didn't even have
her driver's license,
453
00:32:42,394 --> 00:32:45,929
so this electric scooter
was almost like driving
for her.
454
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:54,204
And I just, you know,
I died, you know...
455
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,507
that I would have to tell her.
456
00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:59,643
And when I did,
she broke down in tears.
457
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:05,649
[Ann Marie] I don't think
it's the stuff at all.
458
00:33:05,718 --> 00:33:07,150
I think it was more
of a violation,
459
00:33:07,186 --> 00:33:11,054
like, felt very violated,
scared.
460
00:33:12,958 --> 00:33:15,292
[Hamilton]
Crimes affect communities.
We all know that.
461
00:33:15,294 --> 00:33:19,563
But it's not the crimes itse
that greatly impacts
communities.
462
00:33:19,598 --> 00:33:23,567
It's the fear of crime
that has the bigger impact.
463
00:33:23,569 --> 00:33:27,137
And the officers carry
that as well.
464
00:33:27,206 --> 00:33:31,641
They experience
the same emotions
as the citizens.
465
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,844
They want this person
off the street.
466
00:33:39,952 --> 00:33:43,353
[Officer Tyler Groat] So we
got a call right towards
the beginning of our shift,
467
00:33:43,422 --> 00:33:47,657
from a business
in a little industrial area
of our city.
468
00:33:47,726 --> 00:33:50,961
The call was that a male
came into their business
469
00:33:50,963 --> 00:33:52,863
through one
of the employee doors
470
00:33:52,964 --> 00:33:55,298
and said that he had fallen
off a train.
471
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,201
And they said the male looke
disheveled,
472
00:33:58,203 --> 00:34:01,438
didn't have shoes,
kinda ripped up clothing.
473
00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:04,307
When the manager told him
he was gonna call police,
474
00:34:04,309 --> 00:34:06,410
the individual left
the business.
475
00:34:06,412 --> 00:34:10,814
So we went down towards
the railroad tracks to try t
locate this individual.
476
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:15,919
While we are out,
we get another call
477
00:34:15,921 --> 00:34:18,722
of a vehicle
that had been broken into
right next to the business.
478
00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:22,526
The individual that now
just jumped the fence
into the scrap yard
479
00:34:22,528 --> 00:34:24,628
and they said they'd
never seen him come out.
480
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:34,438
[Groat speaking]
481
00:34:34,506 --> 00:34:38,108
I stayed on the outside
of the scrapyard in case
he fled further south.
482
00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:39,943
I was on the south end
of the scrapyard.
483
00:34:43,215 --> 00:34:49,586
Officer Groat and my brother
Officer Alex Stathakis,
entered the scrapyard
484
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:52,622
and began
trying to locate this man
inside the scrapyard.
485
00:34:56,061 --> 00:34:58,829
There's a sense you know
something's gonna happen.
486
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:03,600
You don't know what.
487
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:14,811
[Groat] We hear
what appears to be
a car engine start.
488
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:17,614
And there should be nobody
in this scrapyard.
It's closed.
489
00:35:20,352 --> 00:35:21,318

505
00:36:11,103 --> 00:36:13,503
It all unfolds very quickly.
506
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,505
But while you're
in the moment,
things kinda slow down
507
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:16,706
for you a little bit.
508
00:36:19,745 --> 00:36:23,113
[Groat] As we run around
the corner to the path,
509
00:36:23,115 --> 00:36:28,051
we see a white dump truck
starting to speed away
from us.
510
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:37,427
Officer Stathakis
was yelling at him,
511
00:36:37,429 --> 00:36:40,063
to get out of the vehicle,
turn off the vehicle.
512
00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:43,099
Instead, we see
the reverse lights
come on.
513
00:36:43,101 --> 00:36:46,436
And the vehicle starts
to go in reverse
back towards the front gate
514
00:36:46,505 --> 00:36:50,307
where there was
all the witnesses
from the vehicle
515
00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:52,108
that was broken
into still standing.
516
00:37:02,087 --> 00:37:05,922
I see Officer Stathakis
is in line with the driver'
side of the window,
517
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:08,525
which was rolled down
on the truck.
518
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:13,697
He fires his taser,
and gets a good connection
through the window,
519
00:37:13,699 --> 00:37:17,801
which then causes
the individual to lose contr
a little bit.
520
00:37:17,803 --> 00:37:22,038
And he hits some
sort of scrap metal
that's just off the path.
521
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,420
[Groat] My instinct
tells me I need
to get over there
522
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:39,322
before he gets out
of the vehicle and starts
to run
523
00:37:39,324 --> 00:37:40,957
through this yard on foot.
524
00:37:42,494 --> 00:37:46,196
And as he comes towards
the passenger door,
the window's down,
525
00:37:46,198 --> 00:37:48,265
and he jumps right
out the window.
526
00:37:48,333 --> 00:37:52,602
I see him start
to throw a punch at me
with his right arm.
527
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:55,038
I immediately deployed
my taser.
528
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,339
He went to the ground.
529
00:37:56,341 --> 00:37:58,942
And Officer Stathakis
was right behind me followin
530
00:37:59,044 --> 00:38:02,212
and instantly jumped
on top of him to try
to secure his hands.
531
00:38:06,151 --> 00:38:07,217
-Hey, you guys.
-[suspect speaking]
532
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:10,053
[officer speaking]
533
00:38:12,557 --> 00:38:13,757
[suspect speaking]
534
00:38:13,858 --> 00:38:15,425
[officer speaking]
535
00:38:19,431 --> 00:38:22,932
When you deal with guys
breaking into cars, sure,
you might have a fight.
536
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:24,700
They might run.
537
00:38:24,702 --> 00:38:28,138
But to go to the extent
and the extreme to get away
from just being arrested
538
00:38:28,206 --> 00:38:30,006
for simple larceny from auto.
539
00:38:30,008 --> 00:38:32,242
It didn't really make sense.
540
00:38:32,311 --> 00:38:33,443
[suspect speaking]
541
00:38:33,512 --> 00:38:34,811
[Stathakis]
There's more here.
542
00:38:34,813 --> 00:38:36,446
[suspect speaking]
543
00:38:36,548 --> 00:38:38,315
[Stathakis]
You looked at him,
and, like,
544
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:41,618
man, this really could be
the guy that's been breakin
into all these houses.
545
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,353
[bleep]
546
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:45,722
[bleep]
547
00:38:50,329 --> 00:38:51,995
[bleep]
548
00:38:54,032 --> 00:38:56,132
[Stathakis] You start
to see the similarities
in combination
549
00:38:56,201 --> 00:38:59,135
with his attitude
and kinda the way
he was trying
550
00:38:59,237 --> 00:39:01,404
any and everything
he could to get away from us
551
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:02,605
[bleep]
552
00:39:03,709 --> 00:39:04,407
[bleep]
553
00:39:06,411 --> 00:39:07,110
[bleep]
554
00:39:07,112 --> 00:39:09,346
Stop! Let go, sir.
555
00:39:09,414 --> 00:39:12,415
It kinda...
It all just came together
all at once.
556
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:14,517
You just kinda... This is him.
557
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:18,421
[suspect speaking]
558
00:39:18,423 --> 00:39:19,122
[officer 1 speaking]
559
00:39:20,926 --> 00:39:21,658
[bleep]
560
00:39:21,727 --> 00:39:22,959
[officer 2 speaking]
561
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:25,862
[officer 2] Stop it. Stop!
562
00:39:25,964 --> 00:39:26,762
[officer 3 speaking]
563
00:39:26,764 --> 00:39:27,831
[suspect speaking
indistinctly]
564
00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:28,531
[officer 1 speaking]
565
00:39:30,635 --> 00:39:31,835
Go on.
566
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,940
[officer on radio] Respondin
All units standby.
567
00:39:36,942 --> 00:39:41,044
[narrator] The suspect
is 33-year-old Dwayne Boyer
568
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:43,613
He has suffered
a deep cut to his arm.
569
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:47,917
Officers take him
to the hospital for treatmen
570
00:39:47,919 --> 00:39:49,919
If you grab me forcefully,
I'm tell you this...
571
00:39:49,921 --> 00:39:50,653
[Groat speaking]
572
00:39:51,923 --> 00:39:52,622
[Groat speaking]
573
00:39:53,425 --> 00:39:54,224
[bleep]
574
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:55,458
[Groat speaking]
575
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,426
[bleep]
576
00:39:56,428 --> 00:39:57,127
[Officer Groat speaking]
577
00:39:58,830 --> 00:39:59,829
[bleep]
578
00:39:59,831 --> 00:40:00,530
[Groat speaking]
579
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:02,799
[bleep]
580
00:40:02,801 --> 00:40:03,600
[Groat] Here we go.
581
00:40:04,836 --> 00:40:05,502
[bleep]
582
00:40:06,705 --> 00:40:08,338
[Groat speaking]
583
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:13,209
When in the hospital,
I initially sparked up
the conversation
584
00:40:13,211 --> 00:40:17,046
by letting him know
that I thought
he was the suspect
585
00:40:17,115 --> 00:40:20,617
that I was chasing
nights previous
586
00:40:20,619 --> 00:40:23,953
in the car that ended
on the railroad tracks.
587
00:40:24,022 --> 00:40:29,325
He gave a little chuckle
and laughed and said,
"Oh, that was you?"
588
00:40:29,327 --> 00:40:32,729
I said, "Yeah, that was me.
That was my first one."
589
00:40:32,731 --> 00:40:37,801
He's like,
"I gotta away from you."
He kept bragging about it.
590
00:40:37,803 --> 00:40:41,204
And we began having
a conversation
about all the actions
591
00:40:41,206 --> 00:40:43,506
that he's taken
within the past week.
592
00:40:43,508 --> 00:40:46,810
There was nothing held back
593
00:40:46,812 --> 00:40:48,912
[Stathakis]
Through all the statements
the offender made
594
00:40:48,914 --> 00:40:52,715
at the hospital,
he more or less
connected himself
595
00:40:52,717 --> 00:40:54,918
to all the incidents for us
596
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,689
He openly stated,
"I ran from you. I got away."
597
00:40:59,691 --> 00:41:05,128
[Gardocki] He confessed
to the crime of stealing
a fire department vehicle
598
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:08,097
that we had not even
connected him to.
599
00:41:08,099 --> 00:41:11,634
The details and statements
that he made in front
of officers,
600
00:41:11,703 --> 00:41:15,305
it took away
that assuming it was him
to this is him.
601
00:41:15,307 --> 00:41:16,239
We know it's him.
602
00:41:16,341 --> 00:41:17,907
He's telling us it's him.
603
00:41:17,909 --> 00:41:21,110
[narrator] Boyer pleads guil
to multiple counts
604
00:41:21,112 --> 00:41:25,348
including home invasion,
larceny, and fleeing.
605
00:41:25,417 --> 00:41:29,853
He is sentenced
to 7-and-a-half to 20 years
in prison.
606
00:41:32,424 --> 00:41:34,858
[Ann Marie] He didn't hurt
any of us.
607
00:41:34,926 --> 00:41:38,428
He didn't take anything
worth a whole lot.
608
00:41:38,430 --> 00:41:40,497
But it changed us as people.
609
00:41:40,499 --> 00:41:42,932
It changed us as a family.
610
00:41:42,934 --> 00:41:46,736
Our trust level
would be a lot less.
611
00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:54,410
August 7th,
one of the police officers
of the detectives
612
00:41:54,412 --> 00:41:56,613
called my cell phone.
613
00:41:56,615 --> 00:42:00,283
And he was, like,
"Are you home?
Are you there?
614
00:42:00,285 --> 00:42:02,519
Can I come see you?
I'm around the block."
615
00:42:02,521 --> 00:42:05,321
And I was like,
"Yeah, yeah, that's...
Yep, yep, that's..."
616
00:42:05,323 --> 00:42:09,125
And he was so excited.
617
00:42:10,262 --> 00:42:12,362
[Grace screaming] Yeah!
618
00:42:12,397 --> 00:42:13,863
-Whoa.
-[Graces laughs]
619
00:42:13,865 --> 00:42:16,199
And he knew it was hers
because obviously it had
her name on it.
620
00:42:18,803 --> 00:42:24,040
He was pretty... I think
he was excited as Grace was
once that scooter was found
