01x01 - 18-Wheeler Terror

[bunniefuu]

We are learning new information

this afternoon

about the semi-truck driver

leading police on a chase

across Cincinnati interstates.

I know the tactics.

I know what you're doing.

Don't ♪♪♪♪ing try me!

I'm just confirming dispatch,

he is wanted for homicide.

He is wanted for homicide.

We're gonna take him out.

I will put this knife to your neck.

I'm gonna hold you hostage.

911, what's the location

of your emergency?

- Hello?

- Please!

- Hello, can I help you?

- Hello?

Please help me!

Help me!

Talk to her.

I'm in an 18-wheeler.

He won't let me out of the car.

Where are you at?

I-75 Southbound

passing mile marker number eight.

Okay. Why won't you let her out

of the vehicle?

Please help me! Help me!

He took me hostage!

Okay, the driver has a female

in the background screaming,

so we're assuming he has a female hostage.

Highway patrol dispatcher.

Hi, I just called about

an erratic driving Volvo semi.

Yeah, this guy is driving nuts.

I mean, he was driving through the median,

weaving back and forth,

in and out of traffic.

This guy is absolutely nuts.

What a f*cking idiot.

He'll k*ll somebody.

You know, it was a Saturday.

I was off.

Got that phone call that, "Hey, we've

got a pursuit coming into the city.

It is a hostage situation."

It's going to be an absolute miracle

if he gets stopped

before he does k*ll somebody.

You know, when that phone call

came through my phone,

I said, well, this is interesting.

I'm going.

I went to, head out to the scene,

which was an interstate loop

around Cincinnati, Ohio.

So when we get there, we tail behind it

as we formulate our plan

to try to stop this truck.

Holy sh*t.

He literally just about took

the front end off of a car.

He was driving

in an extremely reckless manner,

with a 10,000-pound weapon

at his disposal.

A regular vehicle, a regular cruiser

obviously will stand no chance.

It would just bump it out the way

like a Hot Wheel.

That individual's endgame,

you can think you might know

what their ultimate goal is,

but you don't know.

On the morning of July 18th, 2020,

I was assigned to dispatch

for the city of Cincinnati.

The semi driver had a hostage,

it was in fact his wife,

and she was calling 911 begging for help.

Help me, help me! He's got a knife

out! He's got a f*cking knife!

I'm trying to talk to you,

but she won't let me talk.

I have a knife and a g*n.

And I will sh**t the police

if they keep coming.

- What kind of g*n do you have?

- A Ruger Security nine-millimeter

- with three loaded magazines.

- Okay.

I was a cop in the Air Force. I am

trained, and I will start sh**ting

- if they don't f*cking slow down.

- Okay.

I've been a police dispatcher

for 22 years.

I have never come across anything,

during my career,

that would compare to this.

While I'm responding to that situation,

I know nothing additional

about the suspect.

No name, no background history.

What I'm doing at this point in time

is evaluating the known current conduct,

and what is occurring, and developing

a strategy to address it.

It would be nice to know,

but it wasn't imperative

because I already knew enough to know

that this is a dangerous situation.

When you arrive on scene

of something like this,

the very first thing you need to do

is try to bring some order to the

chaos that is occurring.

We deal with SWAT situations all the time,

tactical situations all the time.

Very rarely is it occurring

on a crowded public highway

in the middle of a Saturday

with a 15,000-pound vehicle.

In all my years of policing, I hadn't

dealt with a situation like this.

This was the first one.

Attention all cars, all departments,

all county broadcasts,

semi pulling a trailer, refusing to stop.

Approaching exit 59.

Accelerated speed,

approximately 80 miles an hour.

This is a m*ssile

going down the interstate.

And we cannot allow him

to continue to drive this vehicle

up and down the interstate

erratically and angry

with officers and other people

in his pathway.

Continuing on 275 southbound.

Also, current charges

are aggravated as*ault, battery,

terroristic threats, false imprisonment.

He's flying back up, we're gonna go

Yeah, I've already told him.

When I first arrived on scene,

honestly my first thought was,

"Oh, this is chaos."

It was a lot going on.

You see a semi-truck zipping up and

down the highway honking his horn.

Multiple cruisers chasing it,

trying to keep it

from exiting the highway,

and taking the chase

into a more urban area.

Why won't you stop for us?

We just got married a year ago.

She's been messing with this guy.

She's been cheating on me for a long time.

- Okay.

- I have not!

She won't be quiet

for five f*cking minutes!

Help me, please!

Ma'am, can I talk to him

for just a minute,

so I can try and get you help?

He won't let me out!

The problem is this.

I'm facing 20 years in prison.

I'm not gonna go down without a fight.

Cars are coming to a standstill

because of this pursuit.

Those are easy targets.

Had he chose to take

that 15,000-pound vehicle

and run into those stopped vehicles.

We have a mass casualty incident

of astronomical proportions.

- Oh, this is nuts. This is nuts.

- Big ♪♪♪♪ing truck too.

We'll make sure that they're aware

that there is a major traffic jam.

Traffic on the bridge is stopped.

Try to slow down for me, okay?

You're gonna get into a lot of traffic

and some construction

in the direction you're going.

We don't wanna hurt other people.

Patrick, are you still there?

The primary risk was,

how do we get this vehicle to stop,

or come to a rest safely

without anyone getting injured.

They're gonna try to get stop sticks

in the area.

You know, officers up on the highway

only have split seconds, if that,

to make a call about deploying stop sticks

at something traveling

80 or 90 miles per hour.

They put themselves

at grave risk to do so.

If that vehicle decides

to swerve at that officer

that's up on the highway

deploying that stop stick,

they're probably going to hit him and

they're going to k*ll that officer.

He tried to strike a Miami Township unit.

He's trying to get back on the highway.

Next time I see stop sticks, we're

gonna have huge major problems.

Next time I see a cop

with some stop sticks, okay?

Okay, we'll let them know.

You need to tell them now.

I now know that he's willing

to intentionally hurt,

or maybe even k*ll

one of the officers out here.

When that happens, yes, and you

no longer have neutral emotion,

it does become personal.

It's human nature, when you see

a blatant attack on fellow officers.

Tell them

if I see another set of stop sticks,

I'm gonna start driving

into oncoming traffic.

He is not going to surrender,

and at some point

he's going to use that semi-tractor

as a weapon.

If he wants to go

with that nuclear option,

we can't prevent him,

and limiting our options,

as there is a hostage in that vehicle.

- What is your name, sir?

- My name is Patrick.

Patrick, what's your last name?

It's Berthelot.

It's B-E-R-T-H-E-L-O-T.

We now know that he had been

previously convicted of a prior sh**ting

where he had shot

another female companion.

Check my record.

I'm sure you already ran it.

I'm sure they already know who I am, okay?

Okay.

This is not a game.

We now have reason to believe

that he is not kidding

when he says

he may cause harm to his wife.

What kind of semi are you in?

A big one, big one.

Figure that out, a big one.

They are gonna have to k*ll me.

It's sad to say, but this is it.

It is what it is.

I learned that I'm being called in

when I get the phone call

from the field units

that are requesting SWAT.

We have to take him seriously

that he is gonna k*ll her.

I'm sick and tired of this sh*t!

I was a f*cking cop

in the military, right?

I know the tactics.

I know what you're doing.

Don't f*cking try me!

Please, please, please. Please.

We are learning new information

this afternoon

about the semi-truck driver

holding his wife hostage

and leading police on a chase

across Cincinnati interstates.

This is not his first

potentially deadly encounter.

Court records show that he has

a history of domestic violence.

Tell me what you need to tell me.

I don't want to fight with her

because I love her to death

and I would do anything for her.

- No, you won't.

- Okay.

You don't hit nobody you love.

You don't put your hands

on nobody you love.

I did not believe

that he was going to release her.

I was terribly, terribly worried

we were gonna have someone seriously hurt.

A hostage negotiator

was in the armored vehicle

trying to make contact with him

through the loudspeaker.

Patrick, give yourself up!

Stop playing this f*cking game!

I'm really getting pissed off now.

This is not a side of me

y'all want to see.

His state of mind is anger, probably fear.

He really did not want us

approaching that truck

with his wife in it.

I'm sure some of it

was he did not want to get caught.

Some of it was

he was having a mental breakdown,

an emotional breakdown, and probably

didn't know how to react.

- I'm still here, ma'am.

- Okay, Patrick.

We're still talking. Tell the cop to

get off the bullhorn and talking

because he's interrupting my conversation.

Tell him you're on the phone

and I'm talking to you

and I feel a lot more comfortable

talking to you than them.

How can we get your wife

out of the car then?

I want the police to slow down

at least 500 feet behind me.

I will pull over to the side of

the road so she can get out.

Okay, the driver is now stating

he will let the female out

if units stay 500 feet behind.

I assume that we will comply at 500 feet.

His demands are for us to back off

and that he will release the hostage,

that we can be close enough

to try to mount a rescue attempt.

They're right behind me,

they're really close.

I'm gonna start speeding back up

because they're right behind me.

- Patrick, listen.

- They won't slow down, they won't--

I asked you to tell them to slow down.

Okay, they did lose contact

with the subject.

Oh, sh*t.

- Hello?

- Patrick, don't hang up on me again.

Just calm down. I promise I'm trying

to get them to slow down, okay?

I promise I am.

He's trying to turn around.

He's stopped.

Damn, just give me a few minutes!

Back off for a minute!

Just stop the truck, dude.

Just stop. Stop. Okay.

Hands. Hands!

Get your hands up.

Let her out. Just let her out.

Just let her out.

At this point,

lethal force is not really an option

because we could harm the hostage.

Why don't you just slow down?

Back off.

Let me talk to my wife for a few minutes.

Look, let me talk to my wife

for a few minutes.

Okay. Talk to her for a minute.

When he would stop and engage us

in dialogue, he was quite frantic.

Make an announcement,

pedestrians on the bridge

to get off the bridge.

Pedestrians on the bridge,

please leave the bridge immediately.

Get off the bridge now. Move!

14 negative, negative.

But those are primarily constructed,

and developed,

and designed for four-wheel vehicles.

They're not designed

for semi-tractor trailers.

They're not equipped to puncture

big, thick tractor trailer tires.

Uh-oh, police with stop sticks.

Police with stop sticks, I told you.

Don't f*cking try it! I'm gonna hit

every f*cking one of them I see!

Don't f*cking try me!

Okay, he's agitated

because of the stop sticks.

You see this?

They don't care about nobody.

You know how to prevent them

from using stop sticks, baby?

You go across this median

and you go into oncoming traffic.

Please don't do that.

The object is threatening to hit

any officer he sees outside his vehicle

regarding stop sticks.

If you can, have them stop putting

stop sticks up.

He's trying to hit these officers.

Tell them they can back the f*ck up

or there's about to be a sh**ting.

I'm about to light every one

of the m*therf*ckers back there up.

The object is threatening to sh**t

the police if they don't stop.

Anyone that has ballistic shields in

their car, get them out.

If the vehicle stops,

use ballistic shields.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Tell me what's wrong.

Calm down and just tell me what's wrong.

She's hyperventilating, so I'm

trying to get her to calm down.

- She's really scared.

- Okay.

Contrary to what people

probably think of me right now,

I'm not that mean of a person.

I'm getting upset because the police

are getting really close to me

- and it's scaring her.

- Okay.

Well, can we pull over

so we can get her an ambulance?

Possibly gonna do a U-turn.

Turning around, coming at us.

- He stopped at Algart.

- Everybody, watch your crossfire.

All units, watch your crossfire.

All units, watch the crossfire.

If it comes to the point

where all of a sudden he jumps out

and just starts laying down lead on us,

I'm going to just start firing

through the windshield at him, okay?

I just want you to be prepared.

He's requesting

that units back off even further.

Officers need to stop walking toward him.

Again, stay stationary. Stay back.

While his attention is diverted,

I wonder if we can get up

on the right side and yank her out.

It's not worth it

because he's gonna throw it in gear.

Then we're going to end up

getting crushed by the truck.

We don't know

if he has a g*n pointed right at her.

We have to take him seriously that

he is gonna k*ll her.

I understand that you're pissed off

at your wife.

Patrick, let us help you.

Patrick, let us help you, man.

Patrick, listen to me.

Can you please tell

whoever's on the f*cking radio,

on the bullhorn,

to stop f*cking screaming at me?

There's an officer using an intercom

yelling at the subject.

He's advising they need to stop.

Our negotiator really did not get

any meaningful dialogue

with him on the ground.

All you're gonna do

is ultimately force our hands

to what we ultimately have to do.

At the end of the day,

all he had to do was stop the truck

and turn it off, right?

Patrick, you have not crossed the

line to where you cannot come back.

But don't do anything permanent,

Patrick. Let us help you.

There's an armored SWAT truck behind me.

I'm going to put three f*cking

rounds to the windshield of it,

just so they know

what the f*ck is going on.

He is now advising

he is going to sh**t the SWAT truck.

Okay, it's on.

He's backing up. Get out of the way.

Patrick, don't do that.

He's coming back at us.

Watch the doors.

I'm gonna take evasive measures

to get the hell out of the way.

You realize, excuse my language,

but how much your a*s

was hanging out right there

if that suspect wanted to do

a head on collision with our vehicle.

He thinks that police

are not listening to him.

He's now requesting a police supervisor.

Driver's side door is opening.

Driver's side door is open.

If nobody approaches him,

he will let her out.

Move over that way to the left just

so I can keep an eye on the door.

He's out of the truck.

It looks like he's out of the truck.

Yeah, I see his feet on the ground.

He just dropped his trailer.

Copy. He just dropped the trailer.

But he stops, he gets out.

He unhooks the trailer from the tractor,

and is able to reposition it

so that the tractor

is providing some concealment,

so we can't really see what's going on.

And that dog, where's that dog at?

I love you more than anything.

And you're truly my one and only.

I've never done anything,

I've never cheated on you at all.

Subject will let the female out

if she admits to lying.

Oh, jeez.

And to think I almost took today off.

He's going to help the female

out of the truck,

requesting officers to back off

so he can let her out of the truck.

If he gets out and he's got a p*stol

to the chick's head or something,

I'd like to be a little bit closer,

you know, as close as I could get out

because that way I can flip this over

and I'll take a head shot.

It was a very tenuous time

because we can't see.

We have no idea what's occurring.

I guess he's going to let her out

probably right there.

Something is getting ready to occur,

and he's shielding it from us.

Subject's left hand is out the window.

He's still talking to his wife.

Officers need to stop walking

toward him. Stay back.

All right, let's k*ll our sirens.

He may very well get out

and just start sh**ting at us.

I'll take a b*llet for one of my

guys, and they'll do the same for me.

And we've got each other's back,

and that's what it comes down to

at the end of the day.

Now, I have a knife in my hand.

This is how we're gonna have

to do this, baby.

I'm trying to do this the f*cking

nice way, but they won't listen.

Please! Please!

One way or the other, this is gonna end.

So I have a knife.

I will put this knife to your neck

and I'm going to hold you hostage

if I have to

in order to get you out the truck,

keep them from running up on us.

- Look at me.

- Patrick, don't do that, please.

I don't mean you no harm.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- But it's the only way--

- Patrick, please don't do that.

Please, baby. I don't mean no harm.

We're thinking, something bad

is getting ready to go down

on the other side.

Copy, both are out of the truck.

Dale is going to help his wife

out of the passenger side door.

Dale is going to help his wife

out of the passenger side door.

She's out. She's on the ground.

Dale's out. Dale's out.

He's in the truck.

Dale's down. Dale's down.

We're just glad that she is safe and

she has no life-threatening injuries.

And for us, that is a win.

That is the win.

Now we can worry about apprehension.

Patrick, come on, man.

Keep it up. Stop right here.

It ends right here.

Give yourself up.

We're about 100 feet away

when we pulled up.

And there is an officer

with a 40-millimeter foam round.

Which is a less lethal round.

And he says, "Do you want me to try

to take a shot?"

And I said, no, do not take that shot.

We're just gonna drive him into the cab.

Let's go.

Get the cars out of the way.

Moving. Moving.

He is heading

right towards stopped traffic.

And he is very, very angry.

I may have had a chance to end it,

and I didn't.

So anyway, this is my thing.

I'm gonna die today.

Are you driving slowly?

Nope, 75 miles an hour.

I'm not going back to prison.

- Okay?

- Okay.

This is a plan called suicide by cops.

This is my plan, okay?

My life is over.

Patrick, stop the truck

and get out with your hands up.

There's nowhere you can go.

You are playing a dangerous game.

Stop playing it right now.

The responsibility of my team

is a constant weight on me.

They are my friends,

they are my brothers and sisters.

So that's why

I wanted that vehicle immobilized.

And the only thing I could think of

at that point

was poke as many holes in the

radiator as we could with an AR15.

They're going to sh**t the engine

block out. So watch the crossfire.

This is the craziest time ever

in my career.

I've never used an AR to immobilize

a vehicle before. That was a first.

Fall back on speed. Fall back.

- Coming back forward!

- Coming back at us!

Oh, sh*t.

With him traveling at us,

we were very vulnerable.

All it would have taken

was a quick turn of his wheel,

and he would have taken us all out.

And as he got closer, obviously that

semi-truck grew in my field of view.

It got a lot bigger.

I was able to rattle off eight more

shots pretty accurately.

They wanna sh**t at me now?

I'm gonna start sh**ting

back at them. You ready?

Officer Winslow is one of the best

shooters on the police department.

I know they hit,

but we couldn't see anything.

- Are you gonna take a shot?

- Yep.

Tell the cars behind the truck

to stay back.

I'm here with the city at five miles.

- They're going to deploy a 50 cal

at the truck. -What the f*ck?

Okay, all units, move out the track.

Stay back.

Holy sh*t.

They're bringing out the 50 cal.

The first time I've seen that ever.

A 50-caliber r*fle

is a Browning machine g*n round.

It's a very large caliber b*llet.

And it can deliver up to over

12,000 pounds of kinetic energy.

A 50-caliber r*fle has never been used

until this incident on a moving

target in the United States.

Absolutely, it packs a punch.

So I saw the truck approaching,

and I was set up on the platform

on the guard rail.

Trying to control my breathing,

to make sure that I'm in control.

He's coming your way!

Oh, he's coming this way.

Point of aim is the center of the grill,

the front grill of the truck

where the radiator is,

and I fired the first shot.

After I took the first shot,

the truck continued to move,

and I had no clue where he was going.

We had some traffic coming around.

I don't see any oil out here anywhere.

Very shortly after that, Phil Staup,

who was up in the helicopter, 9 Henry 10,

came over there and said,

"Hey, Ronnie, he's turning around.

He's coming back your way."

So I thought,

because we're going to do this again,

you don't get a second chance quite often.

I want to make sure that if I do have

a shot, that I make it count.

You know, people were counting on me

and I wanted to do

what I was trained to do.

Ma'am, they shot me.

They shot you?

Where did they sh**t you?

Yes, we have done what we needed to do.

The truck is now immobilized.

It's come to a stop.

Stop it. We're going to pull

in front of it, Tim.

Patrick, stop right there.

Give it up now! Stop! Stop now!

Get out of the truck!

Get out of the truck!

Get out of the truck!

What is the most likely tool that is

gonna get that suspect to surrender?

He's got himself at knife point.

Come on, grab him.

Grab him. Grab him. Grab him.

- Got the knife?

- Knife's away. Knife's away.

- Roll him over.

- Roll him over and pull him over.

- Roll him over, roll him over.

- g*dd*mn it.

I still got the taser going.

All right, let him go.

First and foremost, you know,

we needed to check Mr. Berthelot

to make sure that he was not struck

by that 50 cal.

You know, we took a look at him

laying on the ground,

and realized

that he was no worse for wear,

except for some cuts and some bruises.

He would have k*lled somebody.

Let me make this clear.

Had it not been shut down,

had we not got involved,

the way he was recklessly driving

a 5000, 10,000-pound vehicle,

somebody would have been dead today.

Mr. Berthelot plead guilty

to those three charges,

and was sentenced

to seven years in prison.

Proud is an understatement.

What I saw that day was one

of the best teams in the country,

and they showed it that day.

Take a deep breath

and it was a job well done,

and we just go on to the next one.

Leading local tonight, we now have photos

of the 33-year-old victim,

Dominique Kelly,

who was found dead in a burned car

early last month.

Police are still looking

for their person of interest

in the homicide investigation.

Minot police chief, John Klug,

says they believe

he could be in either Minnesota

or Michigan, where he has close ties.

We were notified to keep an eye out

for a dark colored

Town and Country minivan.

He's in the Dunkin' Donuts lot.

Getting ready to go.

He looks like he cut someone off.

He's going through the lights.

As he came back out onto the roadway,

he looked at me

and I looked at him, and he just

It was just instinct.

I knew that he wasn't gonna stop.

Command One's got an eye.

Copy that.

Southbound on Groesbeck and Cass.

Looks like he's going to run, guys.

He's on the shoulder.

Copy that.

Looking like he's gonna run.

He is running. Wanted for homicide?

Affirmative.

Homicide is the worst of the worst.

So I asked, I believe it was three times,

to confirm

that he was wanted for homicide.

This pursuit was necessary

because he was not gonna stop doing

what he was doing.

It's a gray Town and Country.

We're coming up to Harrington.

Speed is 75.

All the traffic stopped

for the intersection.

He just blew the light.

Continuing southbound.

For some time during this pursuit,

it was just me and the suspect.

All right, now he's driving.

Okay, stand by.

Through the light at Rutgate and he's

driving into the oncoming lane.

Through that light at Rutgate

and at oncoming traffic.

Speed is 85 miles an hour.

Stress levels are through the roof.

The way the suspect was driving,

it was dangerous, it was reckless,

total disregard for the public.

"He's gonna k*ll somebody, or I,

potentially, could k*ll somebody."

One of the things that I would,

I kept thinking about was,

"I need to terminate this."

The other side of me is like,

"I'm not letting this guy get away."

I got a lot of heavy westbound

traffic. Stand by, stand by.

Stand by.

All right, dispatch, we're westbound, 16.

Got a green light at Baravian,

center lane.

I'm coming up to traffic again.

We are at 100.

Do we have sticks up there, anybody?

The roads are very, very busy.

And so, how are we gonna

get this guy to stop?

I'm genuinely concerned for the public

and all the innocent drivers

who are driving to lunch today

and have no clue what's coming.

Okay, this vehicle is occupied twice.

I got a passenger also.

Copy, occupied two times.

He had a passenger in the van.

Now I gotta deal with two guys.

If the chase ends, are both of them

gonna be sh**ting at me?

Are both of them gonna run off

in different directions?

All right, looks like he's gonna go

through the red light.

Stand by. We're in the flipper.

Hang on, we're in the flipper.

Looks like we're going to go

eastbound, everybody, eastbound.

He's in the oncoming lane, guys,

oncoming lane.

Oncoming lane.

All right, we're going to be going

southbound, Garfield from 16, guys.

Let Frasier know.

Stand by, dispatch.

All right, we're through

15-mile road, dispatch.

Speeds are now 85 miles an hour, dispatch,

continuing southbound Garfield.

We're coming up to a school zone.

As we approached a school zone, we were

We were doing 90 miles an hour.

Anybody driving that fast

through a school zone, that's crazy.

I had to reel myself in to stay composed.

You're thinking about,

"My family could be in a car right

now during this chase.

My family could be hit

by the suspect."

I'm thinking to myself,

"I need to get this guy stopped.

He's gonna k*ll somebody."

Stand by.

Soon as I heard the radio call come

in, I ran out to my car.

I was doing everything

that I possibly could

to catch up to Sergeant Murphy.

14, homicide on North Dakota.

Going through a private parking lot.

Copy that.

Copy that.

All right. All right, dispatch,

southbound Utica coming up to Masonic.

He is now driving down the sidewalk.

Driving on the sidewalk,

southbound Utica, Masonic.

When I get the opportunity to,

I'm gonna see if I can take him out.

He's getting pretty reckless.

Copy that.

Attempting to take him out.

Not at the moment, but stand by.

There was too many cars on the roadway

at that particular moment,

and I didn't wanna cause them

to get into a crash

as a result of me taking him out.

Going through the grass at Marathon

gas station by the Jimmy John's.

Through the grass by Jimmy John's.

Anything tragic could happen

in an instant.

Somebody, you know, could lose their life.

Southbound Grosbeck now.

Looks like we're going to go through

13, set up at a red light. Stand by.

Southbound on 13.

Wow, this guy almost got hammered.

It would have been a mess.

All right, we made it through.

Nobody hit anybody.

I think I'm in a position to take him

out, dispatch. Stand by.

Copy that.

Hold up. I'm holding up.

I've got a lot of traffic coming up.

I am not going to take him out

at this time.

The longer this chase continued,

it was clear to me that I gotta catch

this guy, and I gotta stop him.

It is very possible we wouldn't have

had another chance to take him out.

What's your speed?

We are down to 35 for a red light.

All right, he just caused

a rear-end accident. None of us.

All right, guys, we've got open

roadway, dispatch, open roadway.

MC5, I'm right up here with them.

I'm gonna take him out.

As we were getting close to him,

I definitely was concerned

about what was going to happen.

We're going to take him out.

Show me your hands!

Let me see your f*cking hands,

m*therf*cker!

Show me your hands!

I've got a TC with the suspect.

We've got him at gunpoint.

All right, I'm going to move in.

Show me your hands!

Get on the ground!

Keep your hands up, m*therf*cker!

You f*cking hear me?

- Keep your f*cking hands up.

- Don't move.

Climb out of the seat

and don't reach for anything.

- Get on the ground.

- Get on the ground.

- Get on the ground.

- Watch him.

Nobody is injured.

Copy that. Two in custody.

Two in custody, no injuries.

I was physically and mentally exhausted.

Nobody's hurt. It was like a burden

was lifted off my shoulders.

I'm the boss. I'm the sergeant,

right?

I'm supposed to make sure everybody

goes home at the end of the shift.

I felt very satisfied

after bringing this guy to justice.

He's a wanted homicide suspect.

We got him off the street.

It brings closure to the family

of the victim.

It's never gonna make the pain go away,

but we contributed, we helped,

we caught this guy.

Knowing that speaks volumes.
