-Announcer: "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.
-Smith: In the Pacific Northwest, it rains a lot,
and to have that three months of summer is-- is so refreshing.
We're able to go out and do activities with the family,
see all the Mariners baseball games,
see all the summer soccer games,
fishin' in the Sound, hikin' at Mount Rainier,
uh, campin'... uh, there's nothin'--
nothin' beats a summer in the Pacific Northwest.
-(radio chatter) -So we're en route to assist a, uh, 'nother deputy
who's in pursuit of a motorcycle right now.
And, uh, we're gonna-- we're gonna try to catch up to it,
see if we can get involved.
-(radio chatter)
-Officer: Looks like they're gonna run out of gas or something.
Yeah, thinks perp's engine is running real rough.
Speeds are only 35.
He's tryin' to do a U-turn.
-Smith: Oh, perfect. Comin' right back towards us.
-(radio chatter)
-So he's comin' right towards us now.
Um, we're gonna get ready to...
-(radio chatter)
-We're gonna see if he goes down the 260 or if he continues.
-(radio chatter) -(mumbles)
Try and figure out where he's gonna go here.
-Officer: He looks like he dropped some stuff out of his-- thrown here.
-So we're going 20 miles per hour here,
so, uh... looks like his bike's running pretty rough,
might be running out of gas.
But, uh, we think the bike might be stolen--
we suspect it might be stolen here, so...
-(radio chatter) -(motorcycle engine revs)
-Smith: Oh! He's bailin'. -(sirens blaring)
-(man shouts)
-Smith: On the ground! Get on the ground now!
Get on the ground!
-Man: I give up! I give up! -Get on the ground!
-(indistinct shouting)
-(cop speaks indistinctly)
-I got a hand! I got a hand!
Got left!
-Okay! -Cuffs!
-Hang on, hang on, I'll give you some.
Got some handy, Luke?
-(sirens continue) -Yeah.
-Hey, watch that door. He was-- He was tryin' to get in.
One detained, cancel beeper.
-(radio chatter)
-Smith: Are you hurt? -No, I'm not.
-Okay, we're gonna go ahead and get you up to your feet, okay?
-My ankle hurts a little bit, my ankle hurts. -Your ankle hurts?
-Yeah. -All right, go ahead and step on up for me.
-(sirens continue)
-You got anything on you that's sharp?
-No, I do not. -(indistinct chatter)
-You want to just pat him down in the car?
-Please empty everything out.
-Well, I might have a pocket knife on me right there, sir.
-Okay.
-Just be careful comin' down, guys, uh...
-It's not steady. -Yeah.
-(sirens continue)
-(door bangs) -Man 2: What the--
-Hey! -Get your hands up!
Get your hands up!
-I live here, mother-- what the-- (bleeps) -Put your hands up!
-(indistinct shouting)
-Come out here.
-Hey, no, I live here. -Then close the door and go inside!
Okay. All right. You said your ankle hurts?
-Yes, a little bit. -Okay.
-My knees hurt too, as well. -Okay, uh, just from takin' the wreck right here?
-No, from you guys. -Okay.
Got anything on you-- -No, I do not.
-Gonna hurt anybody here tonight? -No.
I got a pocket knife. (mumbles) -Okay.
-You still have a warrant for your arrest? -Uh, I'm not sure.
-Okay, is that why you're running?
-(indistinct chatter)
-Is that why you're runnin' tonight, Brandon?
Huh?
Or you don't wanna talk to me about it?
-(mumbles) -Okay. Works for me.
Makes for an easier report.
Is there gonna be anything illegal inside your bag here?
-No, there's not. -Nothin'? Okay.
Who's motorcycle is that? -It's mine.
-Okay. -Think it'll be registered to you?
-No.
-All right, Brandon, why don't we throw you in the car here real quick?
-So what'd you stop him for?
-He'd just hammered down, um, on Mountain Highway.
Once he got on Mountain Highway, and just took off, high speeds.
Got it up to about hundred, then (laughs) when I got in behind him,
he couldn't keep it runnin'. Got up to the top of the hill,
and he did a U-turn. -Yeah.
-Came back down, so... -Well, I'm glad he did,
'cause then we were able to get some resources available there, so...
-Yeah, get ahead of it, exactly. -Gave us a chance to catch back up here.
-'Cause south, we're just goin' out to the middle of nowhere, yeah.
-Not much you can do at 25 miles per hour, you know?
So he has warrants, right? -Yeah. He should.
He has, uh-- DOC came out to his house about six months ago,
and they, uh-- he ran out the back, and they found a bunch of drugs
in the house, so... -Okay.
-Hey, sir, we're gonna start movin' this bike for you, okay?
It's locked up now, so...
All right, open the door and talk real quick?
-Yeah. That don't look like he did too much harm.
-Just on your st-- your steps there, huh? -Jesus!
-Jeez, so, were you sleepin', sir?
-Yeah, I was just about to. -Yeah.
so what'd you-- what'd you-- what'd you hear?
-The big bang, man. -Big bang, yeah?
Pretty loud, huh? Pretty loud, huh?
Oh, yeah, real loud.
-Yeah, so... so the only damage here is the steps?
You're not injured at all?
-Yeah, good thing he ain't--
I don't see no blood or anything.
-No, he-- he got out and ran, so he's good.
-So-- -He-- He-- Did you get him?
-Oh, yeah, we got him. -(chuckles)
My God. -So, uh--
-That ain't that much damage. It feels a lot worse than that.
-Baker: Weird way to wake up, right?
Were you sleeping? -Yeah.
I thought it was gonna be way worse than that.
-Yeah. -You know, in the future,
here, you know... you heard us, right?
-Yeah, I heard you. -No, don't be kickin' doors out here, and--
I know this is your place and everything,
but that's why the guns w-- were drawn.
-Yeah. -Because we don't know--
uh, we don't know if, uh, he's friends with you,
he's just tryin' to get here or there. -Yeah...
-And so-- so that's why we-- you know? -Yeah, I'm sorry.
-We had to draw down, you know? So...
-Yeah, I woulda too if I was you. (laughs)
-Yeah, so... -I thought he was tryin' to get in or somethin'.
-Yeah.
-All right, you've been Mirandized, right?
-Yeah. -You wanna talk to-- talk at all?
-No. -Okay. So just-- give you a heads up
here, okay? You're gonna be goin' to jail for a felony elude,
okay? Your felony warrant.
Uh, resisting arrest, and the cherry on the top is gonna be
your suspended driver's license, okay?
-Oh. -All right. Any questions on that?
-No. -All right, man, make better choices in life, okay?
-Oh-- Yes. -All right.
-I'm sorry.
-Guess the moral of the story is "Don't run if you have a warrant," right?
-Right. -(all laugh)
-And don't-- don't run from the young guys.
The 40-year-olds, you know... -Yeah...
-I was tryin' to catch up to you, but...
thanks for your help. -Smith: No problem.
-Good work, man. -Yeah, good job.
-Kimmel: Been with the Martin County Sheriff's office a little over a year.
One of the things I love is lookin' for narcotics,
and narcotic dealers, mainly.
It's a lot of investigative work, and especially gratifying
when you can find that dealer who's supplyin' all the heroin
who you have a lot of overdoses for.
-(radio chirps) -2-18, we're slowing, 10-50.
Corner of Martin Downs.
On a black vehicle.
-(radio chatter)
-(siren blares)
-Tryin' to stop him for a stop sign... not gonna stop.
2-18, looks like they're taking off. We're on Spruce.
It's gonna be further than that.
-(siren continues)
-Do not call it off.
-(radio chatter)
-Man on radio: Come in, 10-98.
-10-4, 10-98. Pursuit's been called off.
The driver's driving erratically,
so we don't want, uh, him to hurt anyone because of us chasing him
or us hurt anyone.
But we did get his tag and he lives in the area,
so we're gonna try and go to his residence.
-(radio chatter)
(radio chatter)
Voice on radio: See if he comes home, and take him down there.
-Tag on the vehicle came back to an address in this gated community.
So another deputy and I are gonna get out on foot, and see
if we can locate the residence.
Another deputy found the car abandoned at a nearby restaurant
within walking distance.
This may be our guy, already at home.
-Man: I'm going to jail, I'm telling you right now!
-Man 2: I asked you for a favor and you won't do it.
-I'm telling you-- -Deputy: Hands up, now!
Hands up! -Let me see your hands!
-Deputy: Hands! -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Nana. What's goin' on right now?
I just woke up!
-Deputy: Who else is in the house? -My grandma.
I was just sleeping here. I'm on bail right now,
like, I was here the whole night.
-(indistinct) -Somebody-- Somebody stole it?
I was not driving in my car, I was just here.
-Kimmel: Well, we were right behind you.
-That's not me. -Okay.
Why'd you-- Why'd you run? -That's bad news for you.
-I didn't run. -The bad news for you,
for the last 10 minutes, -I did not run.
-I've been listening to you scream about going to jail because you ran from us.
-Because of the bail. -Yeah. Because you ran.
-I've been here all night.
There's nothing that I ran.
-Kimmel: Is that why you had your keys in the your hand?
-Oh-- I just was about to go out to my car.
-Both cops: Where's your car?
-I don't know!
I haven't seen my car in two days.
Why are you guys arresting me right now?
I've been in this house all day.
Sirs, why-- why are you-- like, can you just find somebody that stole my car?
Where's my car? -You should know where it is,
you've got the keys to it.
-Uh, of course I do. -You were just saying you were gonna go get it,
while you were inside. -Yeah, I was about to come out and leave,
'cause they're fighting with me.
-Listen, we've been listening to you for the last 10 minutes
talking about that you ran from us... -I d-- I did not drive.
I didn't drive. -...there were blue lights everywhere...
-What? -...and that you ditched your car.
And you had to run because you're going back to jail.
-What are you talking about?
-We heard you. And I saw you behind the wheel.
-I was not behind any type of wheel tonight.
-Well, you can say it to a court, okay?
-There's no car here.
-Yeah, we know. -You guys arrested me for, like, no reason.
-Okay. We didn't hear you inside yellin'?
-Yo, there's people that steal cars here.
I did not steal that car.
-Richard-- -I did not steal a car, I was not driving tonight.
-Richard, I didn't say you stole a car, okay?
You were driving your car.
-I was not driving my car tonight. -Yes, you were.
-I was just about to leave. -I saw you.
-I was just about to leave. -I saw you driving your car.
-How? -I was right behind you.
-Can I go ahead and put him in a cage?
-You did not drive me.
Please? Don't take me to jail for this.
I was not driving.
Please! -You are under arrest, and you are goin' to jail.
-For what? -Fleeing, among other things.
-What do you mean? I was not fleeing.
-I saw you in the car.
-That was not me! -It was.
-It was definitely not me. -And then I listened to you
for 10 minutes talkin' to your mom,
tellin' her that there were blue lights everywhere,
that you ran... -I did not run, I did not say that.
-...that you parked your car, you couldn't go to jail.
-What do you mean? -You didn't wanna go to jail,
you were screaming at the top of your lungs. -Why are you guys arresting me
for no reason, right now?
I was not running for anything.
-You got keys to the car that just ran from us...
-No, I don't. -I saw you behind the wheel...
-I was not running. -...and then I heard you yelling
about running from us. -That was Samantha.
That was my girlfriend. So she's probably at Walgreen's right now.
-I saw you. -That wasn't me, bro.
You did not see-- I'm tinted. There's no way. -Have a seat.
-So is she also the one yellin' in the house
about runnin' from blue lights? -Have a seat.
-That was me tryin' to save her.
-I'd stick with that story.
-Thanks.
Why am I bein' arrested?
-I already explained that to you.
-All right, Richard, so tell me what happened when you saw me
with the blue lights behind you?
-I was not driving tonight. -You weren't driving?
-I was in this neighborhood. -Who was driving?
-So who has my car? Where is my car?
-Okay. Well, how come we heard you screaming in your house
that you just ran from the cops,
and the blue lights were behind you?
-What? -You don't remember saying that?
-I never said that. -Are you sure?
-I guarantee it. -'Cause there was two deputies outside, myself included,
who heard you screaming that, and you said you wanted to go get your car.
-That sounds-- Yeah, because my car wasn't here.
-You just said that you didn't know where it was. -There's no blue lights.
I never said blue lights were behind me. -Well, we all heard you
in the house screaming that the blue lights were behind you,
you didn't wanna go back to jail. -Why am I being arrested?
-You're being arrested for fleeing and eluding arrest.
-What? That's not my-- Where's my car right now? -That deputy
positively ID'ed you. -Where's my car right now?
-Your car got towed because you're being arrested for flee and elude.
-I did not flee anything, buddy.
-All right. We're taking you to the jail now.
-Yeah, but I wasn't driving it.
-Honl: Ever since I was young, I wanted to get into the civil service.
I grew up in a family, uh, that was all civil service people.
Firefighters, police officers,
and, uh, I just knew that I wanted to go out and help the community,
and give back as much as I can to the community
that's also given to me.
-(radio chatter)
-Uh, going down to ODOT Property.
Uh, it's a place we've had a lot of trespassing,
a lot of problems in the past,
with assaults and drug use, and stuff like that,
so, uh, there's a couple people trespassin' right now.
We're gonna go see what's up.
-Hey, come here.
-Man: Who? -You, where you gonna go?
Oh, now we know you've got-- -Justin.
Justin! He's runnin'.
-(indistinct chatter)
Hey, I got the car!
-(radio chatter)
-Get on the ground!
-One down.
-(radio chatter) -No more, boss, no more boss, no more, boss.
-Justin... how many times have we talked to you, dude?
-That was stupid. -What were you doing that for, man?
You know you have a warrant, or what's the deal?
-Is it just the warrant?
-As far as I know. -What else do you have on you?
-Do you have anything else?
Hidden anywhere? Are you gonna be cool?
Okay. Well...
-We've always been cool with you, Justin,
I don't know what the hell the deal was
with your girlfriend back there?
-No, she-- I got her keys on me.
-Are these her keys? -Yeah.
-Was that the girl that was with you? -No, no.
-Where is she at? -Uh, she's in the, uh, Ford.
(mumbles)
Uh, can I say goodbye to her, please? -Yeah, sure.
-Well, we might be able to... all right, let's take a seat for a little bit, okay?
Why did we think that we could run?
Huh? I mean, you ran before,
but every time that we've dealt with you, we've been cool, right?
Correct? -Yeah.
-I mean, what was the deal today?
Why was it any different?
Just be honest with me, man.
-I think I'm lookin' at a long time.
-Huh? -I think I'm lookin' at some time.
-You think you're lookin' at time?
Did you do time the last time that we arrested you
for the exact same warrant?
-Nuh-uh.
I've been running longer this time. -Say again?
-I've been running longer this time. -You've been gone longer?
Is it your P.O. that's lookin' for you, or what's the deal?
-I believe so, yeah. -You believe so?
Okay. We'll figure that out, okay? And figure out
exactly where it's at. Let's take a seat and we'll talk about it, okay?
We might just go tell her for you. -I really-- I appreciate it,
I really need to say goodbye.
-Okay. All right, let's take a seat for a little bit, okay?
So you think you're gonna do some time?
That's why you wanna say goodbye?
-She will, and she's terminal. -Huh?
-And she's terminal. -And she's terminal?
Okay. I mean, and that's why you ran?
You wanted to spend as much time as you could with her?
What's she terminal with?
-Stage IV, uh, kidney failure.
Kidney failure?
Okay. It's all right, man.
Stuff goes through our head like that and everything,
and you're like, "Oh, man, I can't go back to prison,
I need to see my girlfriend." I understand that,
but it's worse to run, and you know that.
-My bike? -And your-- your bike?
-My bike? -What do you want the bike to be done?
-Give it to my girlfriend. It goes to my girlfriend... -Okay, we'll see what
we can do about that, all right?
-Okay. -If we can get that,
and you want this stuff to go to her, right?
-Yeah, thanks. -Okay.
We'll be able to do that for you, okay?
Tell her goodbye just in case you do have to go spend some time.
I think at this time we're just gonna be charging you
with the warrant, um, you know?
But next time, you know who we are, we know who you are,
don't run. Okay? -All right.
We'll always treat you good, all right? As long as you treat us good.
So, it sound like a deal?
-Yeah. -Okay.
All right, take a deep breath, all right?
-Well, it looks like we found his girlfriend.
-Woman: Ex. -He's your ex?
-Yeah. -All he's gettin' charged with his warrant.
It's an Oregon State Parole Board warrant
for dissuading a witness, and then he ran.
When we told him to stop, he didn't stop,
so that's interfering-- -And what does that mean,
dissuading a witness? -I don't know what it means, I'd have to read the report,
but it seems like it means, uh, convincing a witness not to testify
or changing a witness' testimony.
-For what? -That just what it-- that's just what it says,
so I don't know. -Sorry.
-So Justin got picked up, and he wanted to say goodbye to you one more time.
Do you wanna say goodbye to him, or-- -Sure.
-Okay. Let's walk over there.
Justin, what's it gonna take to get you clean and stop runnin' from us?
-I keep gettin' slower, that's the problem!
-(laughter) -(bleep)
Can't run as fast as I used to.
-So the problem is you can't get away,
or the problem is that you have bad habits?
-I just-- -Bad habits change new things.
-I just-- You know, I chose to... -Get your head clear.
-...go back down the path that I thought worked best for me, and it obviously
only works for so long, and then it dulls you again.
-Officer Green: Yeah. -And you know, the only thing
that's been consistent out of 35 years I've been alive...
is her.
-Is her? -She's always there for me, and not only
am I hurtin' myself, but I'm hurtin' her.
-Yeah. And she seems like she's ready to help you
break that cycle. You just need to make your choice...
-I hope she does help me break-- I just hope-- I don't want her to--
'cause I... I had made promises last time I was in jail,
and I broke all them (bleep) promises, man, you know what I mean?
-Yeah. Anything else you need to tell her?
-Love you. -All right.
-Are you clean? -Yeah.
-How long have you been clean?
-Uh, two months.
-Two months? -Yeah.
-Okay. You said he's your ex, but it seems like he's--
you guys are still kinda... tryin' to work stuff out, or--
-Yeah, we're lovers, but...
counseling and treatment is, like... something that I need in my life.
As far as in another partner.
-What's gonna get him to stop using and stop running from the police?
Prison time? What-- What do you think it's gonna take?
-Hopefully this time. -We wish you guys the best of luck, okay?
'Cause we're tired of chasin' him. -(laughs)
I bet. -Right?
-132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatcher: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is code three.
-(overlapping police radio chatter)
