Get down here.
Get down. Now.
[shouting]: Police! Stop!
Police. Stop! Get on the [beeping] ground.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
I think there's something stuck.
No, there we go.
[gasping]
That's what he didn't want us to find.
♪ Can't run from the law ♪
[intriguing music]
My name is Rick Kuss.
I am a deputy with King County Sheriff's Office.
I've always wanted to go in law enforcement
and so, I joined the Navy as kind of like, a gateway.
And I was a submarine weapons officer
in the United States Navy,
so I was on the submarines, nuclear power, nuclear missiles.
And as the weapons officer,
if we ever did go to nuclear war,
I was the one that had the trigger that would pull it.
To initiate that launch.
So I took a 24 year detour in the Navy
and then, finally,
I got to do what I wanted to do when I grew up
and I became a deputy.
[radio chatter]
Oh, jeez.
14-15 traffic.
[suspenseful music continues]
[police siren blaring]
On foot pursuit.
Subject going up on the pallets.
Get down here!
Get down now!
Get up here, man.
Get down!
14-15,
I'm holding on to one. He's trying to get away.
Please, let go.
I gotta go.
Mister.
If you let me go...
Come here. Will you come out with me?
Let me go.
- Come out here with me. - I wanna go home.
Okay, well let me take you home, come on--
I don't wanna go there.
Get over here.
Get over here!
[groaning]
- Get over here. - Let me go!
Sir.
Get down here.
Please! Let me go!
Get over here!
Police! Stop! You're getting arrested by the cops!
- Stop him. - He's on the move!
You are under arrest. Don't move.
- I didn't do anything! - Get on your belly right now.
Get on your belly.
- Can you please let me go? - No.
You took off from me.
Come here.
Why are you doing this to me?
Help!
Hey!
[indiscernible shouting]
Help me!
- Please! - Put that other hand up.
Help me! Help me!
Somebody help me!
Somebody!
[indiscernible shouting]
I'm God!
Please let me go!
No, you're under arrest. Stop resisting.
Please! I didn't do anything.
I live in this world.
You're not with me in this world.
You're not with me, why are you doing this to me?
[police sirens blaring]
I didn't do anything!
- Are you not hearing me? - Let's scoot that way, okay?
Why are you taking me?
If you're not hearing me, why are you taking me?
Hey.
Why are you taking me?
Alright. Wait, wait.
Why are you taking me though?
I didn't do anything!
Stop resisting.
[indiscernible chatter]
[groaning]
I'm gonna need help. My legs are...
I think I tore some muscles.
Why are you taking me?
What about me?
Who am I?
Hey, look at me.
Absolutely.
But you're not telling me what's going on though.
You're not telling me what's going on.
You're under arrest.
Where were you headed?
So he was on the side street,
and he was like, swerving and then I came, I crossed
and then just like, aggressively gunning it.
To the point where I was almost just gonna like,
terminate the traffic stop, do an elude pursuit,
but he pulled right into here.
Yes, do you wanna talk to your lawyer?
Do you understand all your rights?
- He said he's high on meth. - Yeah.
His speech is... repetitive, fast...
He's sweating profusely.
Sweating profusely.
If you look closely at his eyes, you might see eyelid tremors.
He just can't stop rambling.
That with the observed driving behaviors.
Can you please call A Aruldo [bleep]?
He's God. I'm God.
This is my first foot pursuit,
so once everybody got here and he...
...they finally got the subject off the pallets and down,
I felt a lot of relief because...
I scuffed up myself a little bit on my arm
and I'm sore on my, on my legs, so...
...just knowing that they were there to help me out
and help me down, it just...
...a big sigh of relief.
Can you stand up for me?
Stand up. Stand up.
Where did I do something wrong?
To anyone?
All I've done is help you realize where I'm headed.
So, altogether we got six misdemeanor charges
that we're gonna book him in the King County Jail for.
His license was suspended and revoked in the first degree,
he had ignition interlock,
he also has the possession of a controlled substance,
DUI, and we're adding on top of that
obstruction and resisting arrest.
- And why subdued? - Take a seat.
Any health instructions that belong to God?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes, my first foot pursuit.
Just sore.
You look at the worst case scenario,
he could have ended up running into someone
and killing someone,
so knowing that we got him off the street is a success.
Alright.
[police siren]
Police stop. You're not free to leave.
Stop walking. You're not free to leave.
That guy I've got to, I don't know where the white female is.
Turn off the car. It's the police.
How much did you have to drink?
[theme sound]
[intriguing music]
It's Monday night in Beaverton.
It's a full moon tonight.
It's kinda got a weird aura about it, but...
I'm not super...
into the superstition of the full moon,
but I'm waiting to see what the full moon'll bring or not.
We're heading to three suspects loading up at Ulta.
And this employee thinks they're gonna steal,
so they're texting 911.
They're concealing items in the store,
which is a theft in itself.
Black hoodie, red shorts, rainbow bag.
Ultas get... hammered with theft
because it's all tiny and it's expensive.
Gonna try to come in a little sneaky on the backside here.
Because we don't want them to see us because there's...
...a lot of times they'll have scouts.
So, one person will stay in the car outside.
[intriguing music]
[beeping]
Think I see him walking there.
[police sirens chiming]
Police. Stop. You're not free to leave.
You right there, stop. You're not free to leave.
Stop walking. You're not free to leave.
That guy I've got to. I don't know where the white female is.
You're being stopped for theft.
- I didn't steal anything. - Okay.
You guys are both getting stopped.
Where's your friend you were with?
What?
Where's the other one?
Where's the third?
She's still in?
Okay. Well, let's talk to her real quick.
Hello, I'm Officer Klus, Beaverton Police.
Bodycams are recording.
What's going on?
I know, but you seem to be concealing things.
Okay.
But do you know that concealing things is a crime in itself?
You know, we can even do that outside
and I'll just bring it back inside.
We'll figure that out.
Not a huge deal, okay?
Walk this way.
You can still be charged, but lucky for you,
I have discretion.
Okay. Let's start with bags. Can you take those off for me?
[suspenseful music]
Okay. My partner's gonna take out the makeup out of these.
You have nothing with your name on it?
More in your pockets?
What would your warrants be for?
Where was it?
I mean, you are, but you're not, right?
Don't forget, you do have a felony warrant, okay?
You're under arrest.
Relax.
Don't freak out, please.
Do you have anything else?
She had a lot of other makeup
she's probably stolen from other stores,
and she had six hundred and some odd dollars concealed in...
...multiple bags and pockets, and everything.
The other two did not meet the $1,000 threshold,
so they're just getting citations
for misdemeanor warrants as well as the theft.
But she'll go to Washington County Jail.
Police. Stop!
Police! Stop! Get on the [beeping] ground.
Southwest corner, I got one Baker Mike,
black sweatshirt, another one ran off, all black.
- Y'all are tripping. - You're tripping, bro.
How am I tripping? [beep]
No.
[theme sound]
[car rapidly speeding past]
[police sirens blaring]
Cars are fleeing...
...Westbound not far from Ocala.
It's gonna be a black sedan and a silver sedan racing.
Yeah, Westbound Ocala.
Lit up my sirens and they fled.
[suspenseful music]
Just saw two vehicle taillights
kinda speed through into the preserve.
I'm kinda driving through now.
[car beeping]
10-4.
He's in the preserve.
In the preserve. Preserve, quick!
Police! Stop! Police! Stop! Get on the [beeping] ground!
In the preserve, the preserve.
I'm gonna be in the Southeast, excuse me,
yeah Southwest corner, I got one Baker Mike.
Black sweatshirt, another one ran off, all black.
Keep your hands out of your pockets. Get on the ground.
[shaky breathing]
Alright, stand up.
One, two, three. [groaning]
We're in the Southwest corner of it.
Here behind the most rear building
in the Southwest corner.
Uh...
Going north.
Sit in the car for me.
What's your buddy's name? The guy who ran.
Say that again.
What's your friend's name?
You know his name, don't trip.
No. I'm serious, I don't know.
Then why are you in the same car with him?
I wasn't. This is my car right here in front of your car.
This one right here?
The silver one? Which car is his?
The black one? The black Lexus?
Okay.
So you just happened to be outside at the same time?
Say that again?
You just happened to be outside at the same time?
That makes total sense.
No, like...
Yeah.
So, basically, as you saw,
I assume you were the cop that was on the side of the road?
So when we flew by, he was following me.
And then I pulled in here.
And then... he was behind me.
But I have no clue who he is.
- You have an ID on you? - I do.
- Which pocket is that? - This one.
Swing your feet in for me.
Yeah, we found him.
[phone ringing]
Hey, what's up, man?
Um... did he say anything?
Okay.
Alright, brother.
Alright.
Alright, so, you didn't see my lights and sirens?
Okay.
Because they were on and they were behind you.
Okay.
I'm gonna throw this question at you, okay?
Make this make sense.
Why would you dip into a random apartment complex just so...
...just when I get behind you?
No, I know somebody who lives here.
- Where do they live? - Say that again?
- Where do they live? - Right behind me.
Where's right behind you?
This, there's a building, I don't know the building number.
But there's a building right here, there's a door.
With a staircase. It's the next staircase over.
Okay.
Why didn't you park your car?
Okay.
I feel you, okay. No big deal.
He had a pretty good story
as to why he didn't see the lights and sirens.
And why he parked here and all that other stuff.
So my guy we're releasing with a criminal UTC,
or criminal citation.
He's gonna have to go to court.
Stay out right here by the front.
Another officer, another patrol officer
found the other gentleman, detained him,
he's gonna take the ride to jail for fleeing and eluding.
Alright, brother.
It's gonna be a minute for you to be able to move your car
or anything like that.
If you wanna chill with your boy, that's cool.
Here's your ID.
[tense music]
So right now, we're headed to backup an officer
who did a traffic stop on a vehicle
for driving with no lights on at night.
The guy started resisting.
[tense music continues]
[man shouting]
Man, bro, y'all not...
What the [beep]. I'm not doing nothing, man.
What the [beep], man?
You're all tripping, bro.
What the [beep], man? What is y'all doing, man?
- Y'all tripping. - You're tripping, bro.
How am I tripping? So you just hopped all on me. [beep]
Why you keep pulling me like this?
I'm taking my arm out. Relax.
Man, cut my arm off! [beep] man, [beep], y'all tripping, man!
No.
If you chill out then maybe.
From the start,
he was very aggressive and just verbally resisting.
What is y'all doing?
Right now, you're under arrest.
Hey, man. For what?
- For resisting. - What am I resisting for?
Resisting and no license.
Okay, I get the license part. What am I resisting for?
- Hey, man-- - Well, soon as I grabbed you--
No, because I told y'all gonna open, don't [beep].
I see how you were walking up.
Hey, bro!
Somebody call my people, please, bro!
Somebody call my mama, bro!
[beep]
- Alright? - Yes, sir?
Do you have a medical marijuana card?
No.
Have a seat, have a seat.
He will explain everything to you in just a second.
Now, look, just put all your feet in.
Officer Shane will talk to you in a second.
It's right there for now.
[muffled shouting]
[indiscernible chatter]
[bleep]
He can holler.
Let him work it out.
[muffled]: I'm not. Hey! Not me--
Yeah, he's freaking out.
What is this?
Oh, it's one of the face masks. I thought this was underwear.
Did you already check this?
No.
[police radios chiming]
I think there's something stuck...
Unless, is the car all... No, there we go.
That's what he didn't want us to find.
Signal Zero.
A Ruger.
So it's gonna be a handgun in the middle console.
The little flap was shut
and it was kinda hard to open it
and I was wondering what was obstructing it,
but I think it was the handle or something.
I couldn't open it originally, but then we popped it open
and there was a gun right there.
No, it's a Ruger L29?
EC9.
What's the serial?
[indiscernible chatter]
He had a... shake for marijuana,
which is kinda like, little crumbs of it,
and a lot of ash all over the car,
and he doesn't have a medical card,
and then his, uh...
...firearm that we found in the middle console
is actually stolen,
and he's apparently a convicted felon,
so that's two felonies right there.
We're gonna roll him out.
Yeah. I think it's about time.
No, bro, you don't need to call nobody.
[indiscernible shouting] [beep]
So he's going for resisting and possession of a firearm.
And potentially grand theft of a firearm
if we can prove that he stole it.
He seemed very nervous
and was just, in general, not acting normal,
on how people do on traffic stops that are routine.
Yeah, he was like, tripping, tripping.
So, that makes sense.
Driving at high rate of speed.
Headlight out, also.
Hold up.
[theme sound]
[intriguing music]
We're going to a domestic dispute.
The complainer on this call advises that...
...the subject in question, or the primary aggressor
has some warrants,
which I just confirmed with our records department.
So we're gonna go to this call
and see if can confirm that it's him,
and if it is him, we'll get him in custody.
This job's extremely dangerous.
We just had two deputies in Georgia
get killed on the line of duty,
so that only adds to our heightened sense of danger.
It's always there, it's always present.
[blinker switch chiming]
[suspenseful music]
[indiscernible chatter]
[woman shouting]
- Okay, well let's-- - It's my home, bro.
Go ahead and just put your hands behind your back for me, okay?
I'll give it to her, I'll give it to her.
I appreciate that, sir.
I'm on most, bro.
We're gonna go over here to this car.
Just hang tight for me.
Quick, make your hands like you're praying.
Yes, sir. Just come with us.
He's with me, so--
That's fine. You're--
That's fine.
Alright, so let me tell you this, okay?
The reason why we've got you in cuffs immediately
is not because of anything that happened today, okay?
We got warrants on file for you.
But they're for false imprisonment, simple battery--
Yeah, but I don't mean to cut you off, I don't mean to.
No, you're good. But that's why you're detained right now.
You got anything in your pants or anything like that?
I got steel toe boots on though.
Okay, alright. Just sit tight for me, okay?
Your bandana's on top of the car.
Alright. So we just confirmed
that he had some warrants before we got here.
So we're gonna detain him for that right now.
And he'll be going for that,
but we still gotta figure out what's going on at this moment.
So we'll talk to the complainer.
Ma'am, are you the one that called or...
- I didn't call. - You didn't call? Okay.
I'm like okay, okay, okay.
And I told her like, straight up.
She swung on me, so I pushed her ass back.
You not finna keep hitting on me.
Where did it meet, where was it aimed at?
Your head, body?
She's short, so I'm thinking it might be my chest or neck.
Okay. What happened after that?
Okay. Anything else, sir, you wanna add at all?
- Uh, no, sir. - Alright. Just hang tight.
We'll talk to you if we need you.
- Alright, can I have my shirt? - I'll get you your shirt.
Alright, thanks.
Ma'am?
I'm gonna give him his shirt,
so can you kinda tell me what happened?
So, basically,
she left yesterday,
or yesterday morning,
because she spent the night and the day before yesterday.
Really, they was arguing already like, over the phone.
Okay.
And... he told her to stay away from here
and just send her mama to come over here to get her stuff.
So that she wouldn't have to get over here.
She pulled up over here.
Soon as she walked into the door,
she threw a pillow at him
and she started yelling at him and stuff.
And then he was like, "Bro, get out my house."
You know, kept telling her to get out and she wouldn't leave,
and then that's when she was like,
"On God, I'm gonna bring somebody over here to beat you."
And all this stuff. And then she pushed the chair over on him,
well, I picked it back up now.
- Which chair? - That rocking chair.
She pushed the chair and it hit him
and then he came back and he pushed her.
And she hit the bookcase, and that's when the fan fell over.
- Mm-hmm. This one? - Yes.
Then she fell on the ground
and then I pushed him into that room.
And I was like, bro, I'm not letting y'all fight or whatever.
And then, next thing I know, y'all are here.
And that's pretty much it-- It went from there.
We gonna give him his shirt.
Obviously like, we already told you
that he has to go for those warrants, alright?
And as far--
Yeah, you can step out here for me.
The living situation here,
he has his current girlfriend
living in the house with him for a month,
and at the same time,
he had the mother of his children living here too.
So... that kinda just,
is a recipe for stuff like this to happen, so...
[crying]: What am I supposed to do?
I don't have a job, I just enrolled in school today.
Literally.
I can't pay for this.
We're gonna document the situation today
and they'll both have an opportunity to go about it
their own way via the warrants or anything like that.
Because their statements are kinda conflicting,
but we can understand that an altercation happened here today.
[theme sound]
[suspenseful music]
My name's Sam Humig.
And I've been with Sedgewick County Sheriff's Office
for about two years now.
I wanted to join the military,
but I was in a car accident in high school.
And because of the car accident I wasn't able to join
because of that traumatic brain injury.
So, I did some construction for a little bit.
I was like, doing like, service oriented stuff
and helping the community.
And I decided to join law enforcement.
[intriguing music]
[police siren blaring]
[police radio chiming]
600, traffic stop.
What's up, man?
Okay, you have a license or insurance with you?
Okay. I need to get some kind of ID and then
I'll get you on your way. What's going on at the hospital.
How long has she been there?
Okay.
Just because you don't have
a motorcycle license or something else?
Yeah, I had you at 90.
90? It said 40.
140.
He's got the wrong size back tire on here.
So I didn't think I was going that fast, man.
Alright, man, I'll be right back. Just hang tight.
You can call the hospital if you need to.
I'm gonna check him for warrants really quick.
He's I'D card only, but I'm not gonna hook him
unless he's got...
...warrants or something.
So if you wanna hang out and SPIDER?
Speed limits 50 right here and he was going 90.
Well, he was actually like,
a little bit faster now, but I locked him in at 90.
I think I had him 92, 93 at first.
Ooh...
[police radios chiming]
He's a revoked driver...
[suspenseful music]
No insurance.
Felony citation has one, two, three... four.
12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
Open, that's not the one that are not open,
so 16 open suspensions of revoked driver's license.
Four felonies to go to court on a ticket.
I'm surprised he pulled over.
He needs to go to jail.
I can't write a ticket only and just let him walk away.
Hey, could you remove the cigarette in your mouth?
You got a warrant, so put your hands behind your back.
Just set it down and put your hands behind your back.
What do I have a warrant out for?
It says you got two warrants.
One of them extradite and the other one is...
...Wilson County for drugs or something like that.
You have someone who can come get the bike?
Yeah.
[police radios chiming]
I didn't know I had a warrant, man.
I was speeding, I guess.
I don't know if your speedometer's off or not.
600, got one in custody.
Warrants and drug charges.
Alright, man, let's go back to the car real quick.
We'll take the phone with us and stay in communication with him.
And you're on your way right now?
[staticky voice]: Yeah, I don't want that bike left by itself.
No, we don't wanna do that, we have lost property too.
So we're gonna take...
he wants his phone and his wallet with him.
We're gonna leave everything else with you.
We're gonna take care of the warrant
and then you're gonna be booked on driver's license revoked.
Because you have 16 open suspensions.
Well, hopefully it's the last time
until you get your license back.
Yeah.
Well, make better arrangements next time so you don't get--
Well, or don't speed.
His buddy's registered under the bike,
so we released the bike to him.
And he has a motorcycle license,
so he is eligible person to come get the bike.
[bike whirring]
[intriguing music]
I'm Nick de Var.
I wok from 8 P.M. to 6 A.M.
I really enjoy working at night.
I think the calls are a lot more progress.
And a lot of the priority calls come in at night,
so a lot of the shootings,
the robberies, and stuff like that.
And we'll get a lot of like, suspicious subject calls,
something that is maybe not what they normally see.
3-8-5, I can divert and back.
9 times out of 10 gonna be somebody who's impaired.
And then other 10 % of the time is a medical emergency.
Obviously, somebody passed out at the wheel...
...in the middle of traffic is...
...very concerning.
[police radio beeping]
[car door opening]
Turn off the car. It's the police.
Turn off your car.
[suspenseful music]
How are you doing?
Step outta the car.
[car beeping]
Hi, can you turn and face the car, please?
Okay, do you have any weapons on you?
Can you have a seat on my partner's bumper there, please?
Just take a seat right here for me.
Hi, I'm Officer De Var, Kent Police,
I've got my bodycam on, okay?
So everything's being audio and video recorded.
What's going on tonight?
You know you were asleep in the car?
Okay.
You okay?
Okay.
Where were you coming from?
Your friend's house? Okay.
What were you doing over at your friend's house?
Drinking? How much did you have to drink?
Okay.
Would you be willing to do some tests
to see if you're safe to be driving?
Okay. Can you stand up for me, please?
Can you turn around and face the car?
Okay. Right now, you're under arrest.
She's not. I just smell perfume.
No, I can smell it.
Okay. Go ahead and have a seat for me.
[clearing throat]
Alright.
You said you were coming from your friend's house.
Right? Okay.
Do you think you were safe to be driving?
Probably not?
Okay.
Why didn't you like, call somebody to come get you?
This is your first time driving while intoxicated?
You can be honest, I mean,
I can't charge you with multiple other times.
[chuckling]: First time being caught?
Okay. Okay, okay.
Alright, well, my partner's gonna transport you
down to the Kent City Jail, okay?
Okay.
[theme sound]
[intriguing music]
Driving at a high rate of speed.
Headlight out, also.
[police radio chiming] 4-27, dispatch,
traffic stop.
Andrew Kill Road, Richmond Hill Road.
[tense music]
[sirens blaring]
Maroon colored Dodge Challenger, Georgia plate, headlight out.
[tense music continues]
Hey, how are you doing, sir?
You got your driver's license on you?
No, it's on my phone.
You don't have that on you at all, man. Why?
I just got my car back. I just put the battery in here.
- My transmission was stuck. - Okay.
Alright, so you haven't got the headlight fixed either?
- No, the headlight works. - Headlight don't work.
Your driver's side headlight's out.
Bro, I swear I just checked it--
You wanna step out and look at it?
- Yeah. - Come on ahead.
That's not gonna be a battery issue, I can tell you that.
That's electronic.
Okay.
Alright, let me get your driver's license, real quick.
You're not driving--
So you're not driving, you're travelling?
- Yes, sir. - So what seat was you in?
[chuckling]
So, no, answer my question. What seat was you in?
The left seat. The left front seat.
Which is considered as what?
The driver's seat.
Yeah. So you're in the driver's seat,
but you're travelling.
But you're not driving in the driver's seat.
Don't lie to me, man. Let's don't play that...
sizz and stuff with me.
You have an active driver's license?
- Yeah, I do. - Alright.
Are you able to just pull up the driver's license number?
That's what I'm trying to do.
Gentleman says he was travelling.
- He said travel? - Yeah.
I'm not driving, I'm travelling.
Oh, what's this one?
Cleveland PD...
[suspenseful music]
[police radio chiming]: 10-15.
- Hey, bud. - Woah.
Woah.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
- I'm not doing nothing! - Just relax.
Relax.
Just relax. I'm putting your phone right there.
Let me double lock these,
and I can go records, get your warrants verified
and see if the County wants you or not.
- Alright? Let me fix this up. - Where are they from?
You have plenty of them. You got like three of them--
Is there anything inside your vehicle
I need to know about right now?
Before I search it?
No.
Okay, that's fine.
[police radio chiming]
Hey, a crack pipe.
You got some inside that vehicle that you know about?
I don't know.
Alright, well, I'm searching it.
4-27, dispatch. 4-26 out with me.
We have one Black male detained at the moment.
[indiscernible staticky voice]
[car beeping]
The hell is that?
That's weed.
I got weed there.
Got another crack pipe right there.
Hold up.
What is that?
That blue rock right there?
Hey.
Go on.
Some kind of a blue rock.
Right here.
I don't know what that is just yet.
So he has one that's individually packaged
that's still packed up in there.
But that's most likely cocaine rock right here.
Hey, go ahead and call records
to verify those warrants real quick.
And let him know that he is gonna have additional charges.
So either that's meth or that's cocaine,
but most likely, it's probably cocaine.
[police radios chiming]
And we got blue.
It's cocaine.
Now this blue one, I don't know.
It could possibly be MDMA, but it could be fentanyl too.
That's where I'm trying to figure it out.
Fentanyl is something you just don't play with.
[police radios chiming]
It's fentanyl.
Hey, Bones.
What's up?
Fentanyl.
Fentanyl and cocaine.
Alright.
Fentanyl. Just one slightly touch of fentanyl can kill you.
Just getting this small itty bitty stuff off the streets
is the best feeling for me.
Use.
You wanna go ahead and transport him to the jail for me?
I'd really appreciate it.
So the vehicle's gonna get towed.
From there, he's gonna have that court day,
but it's common to see drugs like this on the streets.
Where you know, we try to get them off the streets
as quickly as possible.
But once his court case is over,
they will get destroyed afterwards.
