Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Being a cop in the 21st century is quite different
than it's ever been before.
You have to be aware of what's happening across the country.
As law enforcement, you have to be people's pastors,
you have to be their guidance counselors,
best friend, you know, a shoulder to cry on,
a face to spit in, you know, for the people who don't like us.
Headed towards Deputy Raymond.
Got a stolen vehicle occupied three times.
Wrecked, I guess.
Where you at? Where you at?
Car is at 1810 Faraway.
They are all on foot.
Where are "They"?
All right, we got to go perimeter, though.
- Which way they run? - Some of them that way.
We just got to get George on it.
All right. I'll head it back that way.
Faraway.
Deputy Raymond apparently spotted him.
We're looking for him right now.
Said he's on Crestview, running towards Faraway.
Or hunkered down in somebody's backyard.
There's one on Crestview.
Is that the one she got?
- Where are they? - This one.
All right, we got this one here!
Yeah, good.
All right, 69 one time.
Over off of Crestview. Still got two outstanding.
Huh?
You guys are going for the long haul.
All the charge is yours.
- No! What charges? - Your buddies put you in a jam.
- No. I'm in a jam? - You just told me you had knowledge.
- Huh? - You just told me why you ran.
I said I didn't know it was stolen until they ran.
I wasn't driving. I was in the car.
Slow down. So you ready to talk?
Yeah. I'm gonna tell you everything.
Okay. We're gonna talk here in a minute.
You got him patted down good?
Yeah. He got phones and condoms in his pocket.
Have a seat.
Think about what you got to say to us before we get back up here.
- I already know. - You already know?
- I already know. - Okay. Just be smart about it.
We're going to take you back up to the scene, where the car is. All right?
What happened?
So I parked my car, I got out.
Started walking up between two houses, where I could see a dog,
- you know, running back and forth in his cage. - Yeah.
Um, and then I saw him pop out of the fences.
So, I chased him over here
and then he came in behind this house
- and that's where we got him. - Did he say anything to you?
Yes, he did. He... spontaneously uttered to me,
he said...
he said, "You got them guys? They're riding a stolen car?"
He's like, "They just told me it was stolen."
Oh, okay. Good job.
All right, find out from the homeowner--
make sure they're good, you know.
Obviously, the front of their property got damaged pretty bad.
- Hi. How you doing, ma'am? - I'm fine. How are you?
I'm good. Deputy Thompson of the Sheriff's Department.
Um... we're you sitting out here when this happened?
I was in-- Well, I seen a taxi come by.
- Yes, ma'am. - It was going real slow.
So I got up and looked out the window,
and then I saw blue lights and this car going that way,
and he went off onto the grass over there,
sideswiped his mailbox,
and then, these guys just jumped out and took off that way,
and then the car just come down and just drifted into the house.
Have you ever seen this car around here?
I've seen this car in the neighborhood, going up and down the road.
But they took off, there was like three or four of them.
- Are you okay? - If I can get my breath back, I'll be okay.
Yeah, slow it down. We're doing what we can.
I... I didn't know that car was stolen.
- Where were you sitting in the car? - On the passenger seat.
- You were sitting in the passenger seat? - Yeah.
Okay. What made you run?
Because I saw all them ran. I saw all them ran.
And, man, he tossed like...
He tossed me the keys before I left, and I ran.
- That's it. - And you ran.
I ran. Everybody ran. I was the last one to hop out.
You didn't think at any point, you should just stop and tell us,
that, you know, you had nothing to do with it?
I mean, but I just got out of jail, sir, you feel me?
I don't know if I have warrants out or not. I don't know.
That's why I ran.
Okay. What did you go to jail for recently?
Violation of probation.
Okay. So you're currently on probation now?
I still don't know if I have warrants out. I don't know.
So what would make you hop in a car with these guys,
not knowing it was stolen or not?
They drive. They have their license, everything. They have jobs, everything.
So, you know what I mean? I think they legit.
I didn't know that car was stolen.
I didn't know at all.
Okay. You don't know who the car belongs to either?
- No. - All right. Go ahead and have a seat.
He said they threw the keys at him before he took off.
He's lying, huh?
Uh, no. Because the keys were still in the ignition when I turned it off.
"They threw me the keys before they started running," huh? Not true.
- Are you the owner of this vehicle? - Yes, sir.
Did you know who was in the vehicle, who had it?
- No, sir. - No?
I just walked in the store, uh, yesterday around...
4:45, 5:00, uh, for ten minutes,
and on the way back out, go get in my car...
- All right. - ...uh, it wasn't there.
Okay. Well, later on today,
was there anything that showed you, like, who might've had your car?
Once I got my new phone today.
- Okay. - I left my old phone in my car when he stole the car.
- Right. - I synced everything from my old phone to the new.
Okay. And what did you see when you synced it?
He must've made a video of himself, uh,
which is the exact same guy that they have.
Yeah, he's actually wearing the same shirt.
That's the same gentleman that we have in custody.
Do you know that guy?
- I've never seen him before in my life. - Never seen him before.
Step out here real quick.
What were you arrested for ten days ago?
For possession of a stolen vehicle.
- Possession of a stolen vehicle? - Yes.
What's up with that? Because you got charged with that ten days ago.
Yeah, that was violation of my probation.
I was in a vehicle... I wasn't the one even in the vehicle.
I was getting something from out of the vehicle.
All right, we won't talk about that.
It's just kind of like... It's kind of like history repeating itself, you know?
Because you were charged with that ten days ago
and now you're here in another stolen vehicle.
If I don't find him, I'm telling everything,
I'm telling everything on him, straight up.
All right. Right now, at this point, you're going to be charged
with possession of a stolen vehicle,
and failure to stop for blue light and siren. Okay?
Come on, dawg!
It's not a good situation right now.
It's a real bad situation.
I'm from Kansas City, so it kind of gives me
the benefit of the doubt when dealing with folks.
I used to be a schoolteacher, so I've run into a lot of my old students,
old parents. This is family.
That's one thing that motivates me everyday.
I can be somebody's super hero.
'Cause you never know, you could be saving somebody's life,
getting somebody out of a situation where they feel like they didn't have a way out.
We've got a possible 10-55 driver.
Um, officers observed it running people off the road.
It hit a concrete barrier.
So, uh, we're going to try and get in the area
and see if we can, uh, possibly throw out stop sticks.
But he's on the highway right now.
Oh, he's right here. He's coming up right next to us.
He's super drunk.
He's pretty out of it. I don't even know...
Let me call, see if we can call and get some sticks.
- What is he doing? - What is he doing with his door open?
We're trying to get in front of him and get some sticks.
Yeah, he's not going to get off anywhere.
Yeah. Pulled a nice one, he's not even recognizing that we're here,
or around him, so...
Oh, he's coming!
So, he's still going pretty crazy?
Yeah.
So, said he hit some sticks. Just not sure, uh...
which tires right now, but...
he's slowing down. I'm not sure if he's going to pull over
or if he's going to try to keep going.
But we pulled a nice one. He's not even recognizing that we're there.
Uh, so he's pretty out of it.
He may just go until his car stops.
Is he done?
He just... Maybe he just realized that we're behind him.
Hands outside the vehicle!
Step out of the car now!
Get out of the car, hands up!
- Get out of the car! - Get on the ground!
Get on the ground now!
- Get back! - He can't even get on the ground.
Get on the ground now!
- He's going, going. - Get on the ground!
Get on the ground, all the way down!
So he hit sticks twice?
Hit two sets of sticks from their vehicle.
- Roll him up. - Roll right here.
Okay.
Why were you running?
Running, from what?
We were trying to pull you over.
I was just running to go home.
- Where do you live? - Bring your leg back.
I didn't know you were talking to me.
Sorry.
You didn't see the cars come behind you?
- No. - You didn't see the lights and sirens?
No, I was listening to my radio.
What have you had to drink today?
Hmm?
Do you remember running anybody off the road?
I didn't even know somebody was trying to stop me.
How much have you had to drink today?
Not enough to be pulled over.
Are you-- Do you have any kind of medical problems?
- Yeah. - What kind of medical problems?
I have diabetes.
I have thyroids.
I take Prozac and Valium.
And you haven't been drinking?
- No. - Okay.
So, you're just heading home, huh? That's it?
Yeah. I can show you my pills.
We're not gonna worry about that right now.
Yeah, I've got a bag
- with my pills, that's it. - You got a bag?
How many pills do you take?
I take about five a day.
- Five a day? - Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, how many sticks did he hit?
Hit two sets of sticks from their vehicle.
- So, yours stuck him? - Our sticks? Yes.
My guy.
- So, he, did he hit a median? What did he hit? - Yeah.
They said he hit I-70 and Paseo.
Hey, who's 123?
- Right here. - Right here, Sarge.
Uh, right at I-70 and Paseo,
they said he slammed into the median
and then continued driving until we got up behind him.
Yeah, he's got a bunch of medications there.
He's off.
Have you had your insulin shot today, sir?
- No. - What time, or when do you usually take it?
I take it three times a day.
How many times have you had it today?
I haven't had it today yet.
Okay.
- You're insulin dependent? - Yeah.
- And you haven't taken any insulin today? - None today.
All right. That's not a great thing.
No.
How long have you been having issues with your diabetes?
- 10 years. - 10 years?
You ought to know better.
- Right. - Well, what do you do...
I don't know.
When your insurance goes from free to 227 bucks a month?
You smell any alcohol?
That's why I was asking him if he had any medical--
'Cause I don't really smell alcohol.
So, right now, they're checking him out.
He has a... Told he suffers from diabetic.
He had a few meds in his bag.
We're just checking to make sure his blood sugar is okay.
We really don't smell any alcohol.
So, it may really be something dealing with diabetic.
He's a little high. 332.
- It is high. - Oh, yeah.
He doesn't seem to be intoxicated really.
He just-- I mean, studies show that when somebody's in diabetic stress or whatever,
it's just as much as somebody driving intoxicated.
So, yeah. It's supposed to be about 120, he's at 330.
So, he's well past where he needs to be.
So, we're gonna get him to a hospital. Get him squared away.
- Ready, one, two, three. - Thank you.
All right.
Yeah, we got him.
When I was going around the corner,
he was kind of weaving around the lanes.
So, I knew it was him. That's why I flew up
to try to get the sticks out.
He was going maybe 15 miles per hour.
And as we got behind him he started going up a little bit, bit, up a little bit.
He got up to about 40 to 60 miles per hour.
'Cause honestly, driving past him,
- Huth looked right at him. - I looked right at him.
- He was straight ahead. - He was just driving.
- Just thought he was... - Yeah, I saw him.
Yeah, I mean, he was just driving.
We got close enough at one point
that I could see him looking back.
Saw him look back, and I'm like, "He doesn't look intoxicated."
So, what they'll do, they'll take him to the hospital.
They'll do a blood draw on him.
Check out his alcohol level through his blood draw,
and then go from there, and tell if it's alcohol, or if it's diabetic stuff.
The hospital will be able to figure out what's what.
You know, thank goodness he only hit a median and not anybody else.
I've been with the Sheriff's Office a couple years now.
I came into the job knowing the dangers.
But early on in my career, I had a traumatic experience with a subject.
And, being new, it gave me a wake up call
to what this job is really about.
This stuff is real. There's evil out here that exists
that people just don't think of.
And it's...
Just opened my eyes to what we deal with out here.
I saw a couple cars parked awkwardly on the side of the road.
One of them had their lights off.
This being a high drug area, lot of crime through here,
we're just gonna see what they're up to.
Hey, stay in the car.
Five-Alpha, County 6-5-13.
- How you doing? - Sorry, I just pulled over into the thing to use the phone.
- I'm sorry. - Okay.
My husband-- We just pulled over. The car's acting funny
and it broke down, I'm sorry.
- It's like-- Yeah. - This car broke down?
- Looks like it's brand new. - I don't-- Yeah.
It's brand-- I don't know.
It just was acting funny so he pulled over.
- And we're waiting for-- - That's your husband up there?
- Yeah. - All right, are you guys from the area?
No. We're going back to my boss' house. We brought him here,
but we just...
- Seeing him, and then-- - Okay.
You seem extremely nervous. Are you okay?
Yeah. I just don't like getting in trouble.
You're not in trouble. Nobody said you're in trouble.
I'm just trying to make sure you guys are good.
- Yes. - Do you have your ID with you?
- No. I don't. - You don't?
Do me a quick favor, just step out of the car for a second, okay?
- Do you have anything on you you're not supposed to have? - No, no, no.
- Okay. Do you have any pockets that are-- - Yes.
Nothing in your pockets or nothing?
- Nothing. - All right, I'm just gonna shut this door real quick.
Okay.
- And you said it's your boss' car? - Yes, it is.
Is there anything in this car? Any weapons in the vehicle?
No. There's no weapons in the vehicle at all.
Okay. Is there any kind of...
There's, um... No.
I don't want to get in trouble. I don't know what's going on.
You can go through anything.
You don't have an issue with me searching that car?
- No. - All right, hang tight right there
for a couple more minutes. I appreciate it.
The last name she gave me is not showing as her last name.
Her last name's actually showing something totally different.
And she's showing a possible warrant out of our county.
So, we'll see.
They're just gonna confirm it for me.
Jessica, do me a quick favor.
- Yeah? - Set the phone down and stand up for me.
Ooh, hold on.
- Okay. - Turn around.
Set the phone on the trunk for me for a second.
Why? What's going on?
It's showing you have a warrant.
- So, just relax a second. - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- Oh, no, no, no... - Stop, stop, stop!
- Stop! - Please, don't.
Stop for a second. Relax.
- Nothing gonna poke me or stick me or anything like that? - No. No.
Okay. Have a seat for a minute.
Hey, what's your date of birth? '84?
- Yes. - Okay. Have you ever been married before?
I-- No.
You've never been married?
- No. - Okay.
What's your last name?
I am married. I'm married to him.
That's the last name I found you under.
What I see on the computer is showing me that it's you.
- So... - I've never had a warrant though.
Okay.
All right. Hang tight for a second.
Watch your knee, okay?
Watch your knee and your foot there.
- What is that? Is that a safe? - Yeah.
Oh, it's a book that's got a lockbox inside.
So, we'll see.
Just to make sure with the tow company.
Jessica, as far as the car goes
on kinda living out of there, how long has that been?
Um, just for, like, the past week or so.
'Cause I'm always having to go out to him.
All right. Come take a look at a couple things for me real quick.
What is this?
- It's a safe. - Okay.
My husband got it.
Your husband bought it?
Has he been letting you use it, though?
Well, everyone uses it that goes in my thing.
I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you.
I haven't used it lately.
You haven't used it lately. What's lately?
Past couple days. I've been at my boss' house.
Okay. But you used it before that?
Yeah. To hold my IDs and my credit card.
Whatever I don't put in my little purse up there.
Okay.
So, you don't know what's in here as of right now?
Not completely. No.
Okay. Do you have any kind of idea what's in here?
I don't know.
- Huh? - I don't know.
Okay, so what is in here?
It's in your car. That's why I'm asking you.
Are you gonna take the opportunity to be honest with me?
Huh?
Okay. Jessica?
There's no issues with this, correct?
I'm not saying you're gonna get in trouble for it. I just want to know--
I just want to open containers, and I want you to be okay with it.
Okay?
That's fine.
This one's yours, too?
- That's my husband's. - That's your husband's?
You serious?
Jessica, do you have any idea what this is?
A whole kit for, like, shooting up.
Shooting up what?
Whatever is in there.
Okay. Step back over to my car real quick.
Or, this other deputy's car, please.
I'm sorry?
You didn't tell me what was in the safe.
I was waiting for you to tell me. I was giving you the opportunity, Jessica.
I don't know all of what's in there.
The last time you checked the safe, which was two days ago, is that what you said?
There was three needles or more needles, yeah.
- 'Cause I put them in there. - Okay.
'Cause I don't carry stuff that I use on me.
Okay.
All right. Have a seat for a minute.
Watch your head when you sit down.
This isn't right.
I appreciate your honesty, okay?
Just give us a couple minutes.
I talked to the other half that was over there.
He had an unrelated warrant to this.
- He is denying any knowledge. - The other half that left from here?
The other half that left from here.
It's actually her husband.
But he's denied all knowledge of any kind of narcotics.
- Right. - He's disassociating himself from her.
Okay.
Hey, Jessica.
I just want to talk to you real quick, okay?
You're going to be going to jail for the night.
Tonight for, um,
you have the warrant, first of all. Okay?
You have driving on a suspended.
Which, you have four convictions already.
So, it's third or subsequent. That's gonna be another felony, okay?
Then you have possession of controlled substance.
And then the stuff that was in the black case tested positive for heroin.
So, there's gonna be four felony charges tonight, okay?
Some people have to hit rock bottom before they can start getting back up.
132 and Bush.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
