with the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
in a court of law.
-Zach: I was in the Army for just under four years.
I was medically discharged due to an injury I received
overseas in combat.
Once I got home, I applied for the
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office where I grew up.
So, I grew up in this area and I like to help people.
It's pretty much what I like to do, it's why I became a cop.
So, we just got dispatched,
Conroe PD is in pursuit of a vehicle.
There is one patrol unit behind 'em.
There's high rates of speeds, over 90 to 100 miles an hour.
Right now, we're trying to catch up to those units
so we can help them assist in the pursuit.
-(police radio chatter) -(sirens blaring)
-Sixteen, we're 73 miles an hour right now.
-Dispatcher: Clear copy, 70 miles an hour.
-Zach: Stopping at the Louetta exit.
-Dispatcher: That's clear copy, stopping at Louetta exit.
-They are taking back off.
-Dispatcher: That's clear copy, taking back off.
-(beeping) -(sirens blaring)
- Zach: Two-Paul-10-6, advise if the Oak Ridge Inn
is gonna call her a MA.
-(radio chatter)
- Zach: Felony traffic stop.NoNo,.
Stay out.
-Officer: Driver get out slowly!
-Zach: Hey, I'll call it. -Officer: Get the other side.
Driver-- -Zach: Driver, let me see your hands!
Open the door with your left hand!
-(dog barking)
-Zach: Step out!
Face away from me!
Watch out, watch out, watch out!
-(suspect barking)
-Zach: Hey, face the other way!
-Grab-- grab him. -Don't-- hey!
Don't move.
-Hey, turn around, face the other direction!
-Got the dog.
-Walk back towards my voice.
Walk back towards my voice.
Back, back! -(dog barking)
-Back, back, back.
Go to your knees. Go to your knees.
Lay out flat on your stomach.
Hands behind your back.
Passenger!
Step out!
Put the cigarette out.
Face away from me.
Walk back towards my voice.
Back, back.
Go to your knees.
Lay flat on your stomach.
-(dog barking)
-You wanna cuff her?
-Cuff her, yeah.
-Let's walk up, it's clear.
-(dog barking)
-Hands in back.
-16, we got two detained.
-Stop right here. Is there anybody else in the vehicle?
-No. -No one else in the vehicle?
No one's in the passenger seat? No where else? -No, no.
-Yeah, it's clear. Give me one minute.
The pursuing deputy seen them throw something out.
Hey, where do you think they threw it out at?
-Between Twin Peaks and that storage place,
right there, outside shoulder.
-About how big you think it was?
-I just saw sparks. -Main lanes?
-Yeah, outside shoulder on the main lanes.
-Two-Paul-10-6, it's gonna be main lanes,
outside shoulder.
He saw sparks, so it's probably gonna be a pistol.
So what'd you try to stop 'em for?
-He was driving with his high beams on.
He's cruising down the HOV lane.
He passed me, slowed down a little bit once he saw me.
The license plate's obstructed,
and then he was driving with the high beams,
so I lit him up, he rides in the HOV lane for a little bit,
then eventually pulls over to the outside shoulder,
and as soon as I got out, he booked it.
-Took off on ya? Okay. Alright.
What's going on tonight, ma'am? -Nothing.
My husband picked me up, and we were
gonna go spend some time together.
-This your husband here? The one that's driving? -Yes.
-Okay.
Where was he picking you up at?
-From my mother's.
-Where was that at?
-Off Lake Conroe. -Lake Conroe?
Do you know what he threw out the window by any chance?
-I have no freaking clue. -No clue? Okay.
So why were y'all running?
-I-- I don't know. -You don't know?
-No, I don't know. -He just took off?
He didn't say anything to ya? -No.
-Okay. So you don't have no clue what he threw out the window,
correct? -No.
-Okay. You gonna refuse to speak to me now?
-Yes. -Okay.
All right, wait right there for me ma'am, okay?
-So, Charles, what happened tonight, man?
-I literally felt like I got pulled over
for (beep) nothing, so I said, "(beep) it, man."
-So you thought it was bull so you just?
-(stammering) No, like seriously man,
I've been getting (beep) with all my life like that, bro.
Seriously, in 2002 I got out of prison.
They took my license, for what?
I've been in jail, bro.
Incarcerated.
-What kinda stuff you been in prison for?
-Firearm.
I ain't afraid to say it. Firearm.
-Okay.
You got any felony convictions?
-The firearm. -Huh?
-Firearm. -The firearm?
-Yeah. -So you have a felony conviction, that's a yes?
-Yes. -Okay so you're not supposed to have a firearm.
-No I don't own a firearm, my wife owns a firearm.
-Okay why do you have magazines? -They came in my house.
They came in the house, took her to jail...
for visiting. -Who is that? Is that your girlfriend?
-That's my wife! -That's your wife?
-Wife of 11 years, man.
-Why you got magazines in the car if you ain't got a gun?
-Man, these cuffs are tight, bro, like seriously.
Yeah, I did my share fair. I ride a crotch rocket, bro.
I ride motorcycles, that's my dream.
Yeah, motorcycles, that's what we do. Boom!
I just felt like I got pulled over for nothing, dude.
-No crotch rocket today, man. -I know, man.
-You couldn't even outrun a Tahoe, bud.
-Yeah, I wasn't trying to outrun you, bro.
It was not trying to out run you, it was like, "Man,
I'm just (beep) fed up." Can you...
-So he says before he's been arrested for felony possession of firearms.
He has two loaded magazines inside the door.
A pistol was recovered where the Conroe PD officer did see
him throw out something outside the vehicle.
So they actually have recovered a pistol.
He's gonna be going to jail for felony possession
of a firearm and evading.
-Travis: Society now has a negative view on law enforcement.
They don't understand that the majority of police officers
are out here to assist the public.
I work with a lot of good people and unfortunately
the news-- it can get to you but you've just got to maintain
a positive attitude and come out here ready to work everyday
and do the best job you can do.
We're heading to a call right now of a male subject that's
breaking out windows with a crow bar.
He just jumped into a red SUV.
-(radio chatter)
The house is right up here on the right.
Eyes, is that someone in the driver's seat right there?
-Let me see your hands.
What's your name, man?
-Alex. -Alex?
Keep your hands visible.
Climb over to that seat and get out.
Walk backwards there.
Put your hands here.
-You just breaking out windows, dude?
-Yes, sir. -Yes?
-Where's this crowbar that you used, man?
Is it with you in the car? -Laying down in the car.
-It's in this car right here? Okay.
-(dogs whimpering)
-Come here, man. -Yep.
-Do me a favor.
Lean up against this car with your back to it.
-Back to it? -Yeah.
What's your name? -Alex.
-What's going on, dude?
-Just jealousy, dawg. -Why are you upset tonight?
Jealousy over what?
-My imagination of anything else I guess.
-Who do you live here with? -Uh, I used to live here
with Anthony, Brooklyn and... Thomas.
-Okay, so what's this about?
-I had taken-- what do you call it-- headache relief
medication, extra strength or whatever on an empty stomach.
I didn't know you had to take them on a stomach because
I was having a headache.
And I ended up throwing up and like being delirious for
a little bit because of-- I don't know why.
-Is this what you used, man? -Yes, it is.
-Right here? -Yes.
-What other windows did you bust out besides this?
-These two cars, the just front.
-Okay.
How are we gonna solve this problem tonight, man?
-I don't know, I was just gonna be on my way
in the morning. -That's a lot of damage dude.
-Yeah. -You were just gonna sleep in the car for the night?
-Yeah. Talk to them, get my wallet and whatever.
-Where's your shirt at? -Whatever. I left without one.
That was what I was wearing the jacket for.
-Okay. -Is there gonna be any drugs
or anything illegal in there, any other weapons?
-There should be like, weed. -Just weed?
Where at? -Just weed.
Behind the console. -Okay.
What's your name man? -It's Thomas.
-Did you call? -Yeah.
-Tell me what's going on today, Thomas.
-Well, we went to the smoke shop, got a call before I even
went in, "Hey, come home." Okay, so we head home.
So I guess we were gone for a couple hours from like roughly
2:00 to 4:00, I think. -Who is Alex to you?
-He's my roommate and was a friend.
-Alright. -I was the one that witnessed it and told them.
-Can you come out here and tell me what happened?
-Yes, sir. -What's your name, man?
-My name's Anthony. -Anthony?
-Yes. -What'd you see bud?
-I was actually-- when I got back, like he said,
we were at the smoke shop, got a phone call on my phone,
'cause I'm close with the two that were arguing.
-What was the argument about? -I mean, I guess he was accusing me
of sleeping with his girlfriend.
-Okay. -Which there's never been
anything like that between us at all. -Alright.
-And so basically, he just went on a complete rampage.
-And you saw him bust the windows out with a crow bar?
-Yeah. -Alright.
Alright, any of these vehicles belong to either of you guys?
-Just him and I believe red one is his girlfriend's.
-Which car's yours? -Mine's the... Sentra,
the beige Sentra. -You want prosecution against him for that?
-I want to press charges.
-You pretty shaken up over this?
-Yeah, I'm pretty pissed too.
-Yeah, I would be too, man.
-I'm supposed to work tomorrow.
-Hi. What is your name?
-Brooklyn. -Brooklyn, so...
he's upset.
He thinks you're cheating on him.
-I know. -Can you tell me
a little bit about that?
-He's always been kind of insecure, one of those things
he's never been really up about it, just-- I woke up this
morning and he was just waking up, like smoking a cigarette
in the room, and I was like, "Why are you smoking a cigarette in here?"
Because we don't smoke up, like, stairs.
-So has there any-- been any type of relations between you guys?
-No, I actually, I dated one of her close friends back when
we were in Michigan, and that's how we actually
know each other. And I mean--
-Have you ever cheated on him before? -I have not.
-Alright, how long have you guys been together?
-About a year and a half.
-I'll be with you guys in a minute okay?
You can go inside for now.
Yeah, come here.
Alright, check this out, Alex.
For right now you're gonna go to jail for vandalism, okay?
-Okay. -Because you broke those windows out.
So I want to talk to you, I want to get your side of the story, okay?
So they were telling me the argument started out,
you were accusing your girlfriend of
sleeping around with the roommate? -Yes.
-Okay, tell me about that.
-It's pure imaginary because-- I don't know,
I got a sick mind.
-Were they together earlier on?
-As far as I'm aware.
But then again I was delirious because I was on-- (beep)
what do you call it-- double-strength headache relief.
-What made you believe that she was going behind your back
and seeing your roommate?
-It's just my imagination and what I don't see when,
you know, like.
-So looking back at it, you don't think it's going on now?
-I don't know.
I don't know what to think, I was just gonna leave.
-So it might have been a little bit over reaction right?
-Possibly. -So what's the story, man, you broke out all these windows
and then you were just gonna take nap in the back of that SUV?
-Yeah. -You just crawled back there,
no shirt on, and just fell asleep?
-Not fell asleep, just waiting for the morning
and deal with it.
I didn't want to interact, so I was gonna interact in the
morning when things were not this calm but just, yeah.
-Alright, have a seat, Alex, and then hang tight, okay?
-We lit up the SUV that he said he owns.
He had the crow bar like hunkered up with him.
They said he was still here and he didn't run away so
I thought he was gonna try to fight or something like that
and the way he was crouching in that car was kinda creepy.
Good thing nobody got hurt.
-Jason: We got a lot of traffic in town tonight.
-Jason: We got a l
Once a year they hold the Baker to Vegas foot race.
It's a law enforcement-only race.
Once they hit Primm, Nevada, they've got another 55 or 60
miles to go until they get into Las Vegas.
It brings a lot of traffic, a lot of foot traffic.
A lot of out of town people into Primm.
Kinda puts Primm on the map once a year.
-(radio chatter)
-We're gonna stop this car right up here.
A call came out that a lady was stealing some things
from a gas station.
The description matches the vehicle right up ahead of us.
-(sires wail)
-(radio chatter)
-Go ahead and roll the window down for me.
-Huh? -Hello, ma'am.
-Hi. -Hi, did you just leave Lakeside Casino?
-No, I didn't, sir. -Then where are you coming from?
-I'm coming from that store way down there.
-Alright, do you have your ID on you? -Yes, I do.
My grandma lives right down the street, and I'm going to
grandma's house. And she's not doing too good.
-How you been, miss? -I've been fine.
-There's your registration. -I'm coming from the Nugget.
-You're coming from the Nugget? -Yeah.
-First you told me you're coming from the store, and now you're coming from Nugget.
-I stopped at the store to get gas. I went all the way down.
-Alright, why are they calling in a Honda leaving Lakeside
with your license plate and saying that you took some items from the store.
-No, I didn't take them. I put them back.
I took a bottle of wine and gave it back.
-Okay, go ahead and step out of the car, miss.
'Cause you're already lying to me and now you're telling
me the truth, so we're gonna come back to my car,
and we'll talk about it, okay?
-No, because I-- he told me I stole.
That was way hours ago so.
-Alright, alright, you can leave all that paperwork
on that seat right there.
-Nothing I've stolen here from that Lakeside.
If you find stuff in there, that's stuff I bought from--
I was at Wal-Mart tonight. I've been at Wal-Mart.
I bought oil.
I bought hats at Wal-Mart.
I've been at Wal-Mart, I've been at Wal-Mart tonight.
I've been at The Nugget tonight and to Lakeside.
And I was gonna buy a bottle of wine and he goes, I go,
"How much for the wine?" And he said,
"You're gonna steal that wine."
'cause I came up with a pump valet and I went back to the
kid and he goes, "Are you gonna steal it?"
Because I have a big bag.
I go, "No, I'm not gonna steal that $11 bottle of wine."
And then he threatened me, he goes,
"You're 86'd, we think you stole.".
-We're gonna start from the beginning,
we're gonna start with the truth.
-What did you take from Lakeside Casino store tonight?
-No, I didn't. -I didn't say if you did or didn't.
I said, "What did you take?"
What items did you take from Lakeside Casino?
What did you take? -I took a quart of oil.
-A quart of oil? -And I told him about it.
A quart of oil. I told him, "I'll bring it back in.
I'm gonna buy the wine and all that right now."
-So you did steal a quart of oil from...
-I took one quart of oil because, but he told me--
I tell him, "Can I bring it back in?"
-Did you? -I didn't have my debit card to buy.
-Did you go in there to take the oil?
-No, I didn't go there to take the oil.
-No? -No, I didn't.
I don't even know it. -Then why did you take the oil?
-And right now I'm two quarts low, and I don't want to go
all the way to Auto Zone and go all
the way back to Wal-Mart.
-Why were you lying to me this whole time?
-Because I wanted to tell you the truth about the oil
because he didn't see me take the oil.
So that's why I wanted to tell you I did take the oil.
Just that.
That's all I took.
-What about the cheese in the center console?
-That's I bought at Wal-Mart, all that stuff's from
Wal-Mart 'cause I won $100 at Nugget.
I've been at Nugget all night and this is what I stole.
-But you know that's not oil.
-I know but-- -That's not a quart.
-I didn't take the fuel injector.
The fuel injector I bought.
-Now we've got like seven different stories from you.
-And there's the quart of oil, this is what I took.
That quart of oil.
-Oh okay, so where did this come from?
-Same place. -That's what I bought.
This comes from Wal-Mart. I won $100 from--
-Wal-Mart doesn't do their prices like that.
-Yeah, that's not a Wal-Mart price tag.
That's a gas station price tag.
-Okay I stole these too, that's it.
-Here, how about we walk over and get all the things that
you did not pay for out of the floor board.
-(stammering) I only stole two.
-Katherine, Katherine, just stop.
-No, because that's all I stole.
-Stop. -He kept telling me
I was 86'd. -Stop, stop.
We're gonna walk over to your car with Officer Mendoza.
We're gonna look through your car, alright?
And you're gonna tell Mendoza what you took from the store tonight.
Alright? And be honest, this is your only chance
to be honest, Katherine.
-Go ahead and put it up here.
-This is stuff from Wal-Mart.
-I want to know what you took from the store,
from Lakeside Casino that you did not pay for.
-This stuff all-- I've been at Nugget.
I won $100 at Nugget. These are mine.
-Where did these come from?
These don't come from Wal-Mart.
-That came from that little, came up from Rebel.
-Alright, so now you've lied to me again.
This cheese, where did this cheese come from?
-That cheese come from Rebel.
-What's in there? -This is stuff I bought from Wal-Mart.
-You bought glitter? -Yeah 'cause I paint angels.
-You paint angels? -Yes.
I just took-- I told him what I stole.
We don't take cheese.
That came from Wally-Mart.
-We're gonna go back to my car.
-I'm not gonna take this oil back to him,
'cause he 86'd me.
And all I did was take the oil and all that 'cause I
don't have money.
-So you're buying wine, but you're stealing the oil 'cause
you don't have money.
-Only 'cause I'm two quarts low and I'm thinking my cars
gonna break down any minute.
And that was seven dollars and my car takes seven dollars.
-But you were gonna buy the wine, right?
-I won $100 last night, $100 today.
-So you had the money for this stuff, why did you steal it?
-I have $190 ticket.
A speeding ticket to pay and I only--
-But you know you can make payments on it.
-No, I can't make--
-You've been involved with us before.
-I can't make payments on it. -You know how the system works.
-He wants me to pay it all, they want it all paid off and I
have $190 to pay it off and I want to pay it in one round.
So I took these two items and this right here, I told him
that I'd bring it back in, can I pay for the wine and
everything, and he told me "No, we're just gonna 86 you
and you just don't come back to the store,"
'cause he felt bad for me. -Alright.
-That's how he is. -And I get your story, I've heard it six times,
but you understand that stealing is stealing.
-Stealing is stealing but he didn't want it back.
-And that's stealing and you know that that's stealing.
-But he didn't want it back. -But you know you stole the items right?
-Yes, I did, I did it, but I did it for a reason.
-Go ahead and stand in front of the license plate and face the car.
-Right here. -You're gonna arrest me?
-Right here, right over here.
-Right there. There you go.
Put your hands behind your back. -You're gonna arrest me?
-Yes. -For what?
-Officers: For petty larceny and burglary.
-All that for the quart of oil?
-And the fuel injector cleaner and the chips.
-Can't I bring it just back to him? -No.
-You can't do that just for that! -You stole.
-I told him I want to bring the oil back and he said
it wasn't my store, "I don't want you to bring it back, maybe we'll pay for it."
He liked me, he goes, "You're just 86'd."
He liked me.
-People don't give you things for free.
-He did.
-You made a bad decision, Katherine.
-132 and Bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatcher: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is code three.
