On Patrol: Live Summary for April 20, 2024 (#OPL Episode 02-68)

• Richland County, S.C. — Cpl. Rebekah Smith and other units, including a K9 search a residential neighborhood on foot for two suspects who allegedly ditched an alleged stolen car in the area. Vehicle search. One suspect detained. Cpl. Smith: “Based on convenience store footage, we were able to confirm the one we do have detained was the driver of the vehicle. And he’s gonna be charged with possession of stolen vehicle and unlawful carry because of the gun that he had on his possession. And he’s under 18, so he’s gonna get charged with that.”

• Daytona Beach, Fla. — Ofr. Tim Jackson and paramedics are dispatched to the scene of a hit-and-run accident. A victim has a leg wound. Dan Abrams: “So obviously a pretty serious injury there as they try to figure out exactly what happened and potentially who was responsible.”

• Lee County, Fla. — Dep. Jacob Sahagian responds to the scene where a motorist drive up on the sidewalk/restaurant patio. “Didn’t take out the patio — good thing.” He makes contact with the driver as well as staff at the eatery. “Is that your normal parking spot?” — “Trying to get front-row parking”? A traffic unit is called to the scene to conduct a DUI investigation. Dep. Sahagian mentions that “So because we have a ‘wheel’ witness, the manager here saw him driving the vehicle, we all can see that he is under the influence of something that appears to be an alcoholic beverage with that strong odor coming off…” Abrams: “Remember, he crashed his car into an outdoor cafe. He has apparently a previous DUI…and the initial phases of that test don’t seem to be going that well, but we shall see.” See Dep. Sahagian’s summary below.

Abrams: “We heard him say a moment ago about the fact that the woman who was the reporting party is willing to sign a statement saying she saw him drive right into the spot where he is right now.” Larkin: “Yeah. It’s kind of no different than a traffic accident that happens on the roadway. If somebody is intoxicated, which right now they believe that he might be, if you’ve got a witness that can put that person behind the wheel, they can go through with the full testing process, look inside the car, and so forth, and end up with a charge potentially for driving under the influence.” Dep. Curtis Wilson: “Fortunate that no one was coming in and out and no one was hurt in that because, of course, he’s right in front of the establishment.” read more
