This Weekend’s On Patrol: Live Highlights, Quotes, and Puns
The docuseries On Patrol: Live — i.e., Live PD 2.0 — premiered on the Reelz channel in July 2022 and generally follows the same basic format as its A&E network predecessor in which videographers accompany cops on night patrol in real time.
About 50 On Patrol: Live cameras go into the field with the law enforcement officers during the ride-along on Friday and Saturday evenings.
An On Patrol: Live recap, including studio host Dan Abrams’ puns and related banter with co-hosts Sean Larkin and Curtis Wilson (retired Tulsa, Okla., cop and Richland County, S.C., deputy sheriff, respectively), along with the often-snarky or playful social media reaction, follows.

- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officers respond to report of a man spotted on Ring video allegedly trying to break in to a home. Subject is also possibly a felon. Foot search; K9 Zeus deployed. Lt. Richie Maher: “At this point, I believe the charges are gonna be loitering or prowling, which is being in a place at a time acting in a manner inconsistent with a law-abiding individual which causes concern for persons or property in the general vicinity. So we’re gonna see if we can track this individual, get him detained…”
- Volusia County, Fla. — Traffic stop on by Dep. Royce James on pick-up truck for erratic and slow driving Motorist was eating ice cream while driving. License checks out. He is released with a warning. Caption: “Driving on a rocky road.”

- Toledo, Ohio — Officers respond to landlord-tenant dispute that involves a lot of bleeped audio. Abrams points out that is a recurring theme on the show that this is a civil issue. “Not criminal. But they still are gonna have to figure out a way to avoid allowing this to escalate.”
- Beech Grove, Ind. — Officers respond to report of a male-female domestic incident. Cops make contact with both parties at their residence. They both say everything is okay. Abrams: “It seems that either the information was wrong or it’s the wrong house.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Cops respond to report of shots fire and canvas the area on foot searching for shell casings.
Abrams: “We end up getting a lot of shots fired calls on this show, and a lot of times there isn’t an arrest immediately made. But that doesn’t mean that there is nothing significant happening.” Larkin: “Right. It sounds like this incident was actually a caller, you had a witness that was calling in, that ‘we heard a child was getting shot at.’ There in Toledo they also have a shots-spotter system which basically triangulates an area where shots come in from. Even though if you don’t have a victim, somebody shot, somebody is saying, ‘hey somebody shot at me.’ What’s important to collect those cartridge casings out there because at some point, if a gun is recovered down the road, a year from now, two years…down the road, they can still connect it back to all these cartridge casings found at multiple scenes. And they can kind of trace the history of what this gun has been involved with.” Wilson: “And also, in Richland County, what they do, if it’s an area that’s frequently used for drive-bys and things like that, it happens a lot, they get a lot of complaints, they’ll put deer cameras up as well. That will give them video in the event there are no Ring cameras or anything on the doors. They’ll also do ‘knock and talks’ as well to try to gather as much information as they can about what they saw, what they heard, and so forth.”
- Nye County, Nev. — Deputies respond to 911 hangup and make contact with two men at the location. It turns out that it was just an accidental call.
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Traffic stop; driver allegedly ran stop sign. Driver is released with warnings on that infraction and not carrying license. Det. Chris Maher (Richie’s brother): “This lady pretended to cry for a second, but then she started laughing because she’s not a great actor. But I’m just gonna educate her about the stop sign.” Det. Maher also helps her find her destination.
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Lt. Maher patrols a downtown street during the Jeep Week event. He warns a woman in the crowd to stay on the sidewalk.

- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officers pursue fleeing car that becomes a foot pursuit. Three suspects apprehended. Det. Maher: “So we had a few juveniles take off from an officer in a car dealership. We’ve been having a lot of problems with car breaks as well as car thefts. We were able to locate all of them, get them detained and arrested for burglary and loitering probably. We got officers going over to these dealerships to make sure they didn’t actually get into a car. And if they have they’re gonna be charged with burglary.”
Abrams: “It may seem obvious, but this is why communication between the officers becomes so important in a situation like this.” Wilson: “The radios are like a lifeline for these officers when you’re out there, and you have a situation like this. You got to be able to use these radios so that you pinpoint the location, how many individuals, the direction of travel; all of that stuff is so important so you can get the assistance…” Larkin: “When something like this happens, the radio gets locked down basically. They do what’s called emergency radio traffic. The only people talking on the radio at that point have to be in relation to that and somebody on scene or supervisors who clears it. And then they usually go to what we call a tactical channel. But other than that, everybody is focused on that one incident.”
- Nye County, Nev. — Deputies make contact with man in wheelchair in street talking to a motorist. Abrams: “He just wants to get back to Vegas; don’t we all.”
- Brookford, N.C. (pre-recorded segment) — Officers pursue speeding motorcycle that then turns into a foot search in wooded area. Chief Will Armstrong also says he heard shots fired in the distance. He and other officers make contact with a man at the location who is the bike’s owner but insists he wasn’t operating it. Bike apparently towed for not being registered and for traffic violations. Abrams: “So still a little bit of uncertainty there as exactly who was driving that motorcycle.”
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Cops respond to a domestic incident at an uncertain location in a residential neighborhood. Ofr. Verdekal asks a neighbor if she heard anybody “domesticating” in the area.”
- Volusia County, Fla. — Traffic stop for running a stop sign. Dep. Benjamin Speller: “You yielded instead of stopped.” Earlier that day, Speller had stopped the same motorist for a seat-belt infraction. “Now the next lesson; you have to stop at a stop sign.” Driver released with warning. Abrams: “Twice in one day. And both times a warning. She should be thanking him…’now I’m wearing my seat bels; now I won’t run red lights.'”
- Wanted segment — Jackson, Miss., jail escapees.
- Volusia County, Fla. — Traffic stop; broken tail light. Driver’s license is suspended. Deputies arrest driver for alleged failure to appear in court multiple times. Dep. Speller: “He’s gonna be going to jail. He has a failure to appear, which means that he missed a court date previously, so we can’t trust that he’s gonna come to court this time. We’ll take him to jail and make sure he does show up, see a judge. His passenger, she’s not valid, but she’s able to contact somebody who has a valid license. They’re gonna come to the scene and try to save him at least the financial burden of towing the vehicle. We’ll see; sometimes they show up the scene and their license isn’t good…” Abrams: “So still cutting him that break of not towing the vehicle and allowing someone else to come pick it up.”
- Nye County, Nev. (pre-recorded segment) — Deputies respond to car crash. Abrams: “With all due respect, the driver didn’t have ‘a leg’ to stand on.” Field sobriety testing. Driver arrested on suspicion of DUI. Abrams: “Sometimes people forget it’s just as important, if not more important, in these traffic stops isn’t just being able to do the stuff, it’s following the directions.” Larkin: “Yeah –field sobriety tests are set up for a reason. There’s a reason why it’s very specific instructions as well as your ability to do the actual test. It’s how well you follow the instructions. And he clearly had a major problem with that on very aspect of the test.” Wilson: “No question about that. So polite, but again, you got to follow exactly to the T. “
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies respond to report of a woman allegedly screaming at a residence. Woman tells Dep. James that she was arguing with a friend but is okay. James: “In a nutshell, somebody called concerned. Apparently she was in an argument with a friend of hers. They were in college; maybe the friendship is ending. She seems fine, just a little upset about the friendship ending. But you know how that goes; they go back and forth. We’re gonna let her get on with her night, so everything is good here.” Abrams: “Completed her masters in architecture and ‘building’ a new life.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Capt. Danny Brown and Master Deputy Braylyn Salmond makes contact with male outside of apartment complex. Brown smells weed. The subject is detained. Car search; weed allegedly found in car. Deputies confiscate weed; subject is released with no charges.
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies pursue stolen vehicle on the highway that was flagged by a license plate reader. Helicopter also deployed. Driver detained at gunpoint. Driver tells cops that it’s his niece’s car, she’s the registered owner, but he was making the payments. Abrams: “The plot thickens…” Dep. James attempts to make contact with the niece on driver’s cell phone, but it goes to voicemail. Investigation ongoing.
In response to Abrams’ question about how the license-plate monitors work, Larkin explains that “basically there’s two different ways they have them. They have them fixed, either typically on the trunks or the roofs of police cars. Or there’s actually fixed ones that are in high-crime areas. And they can read numerous license plates a minute rapidly. And they can tell you if it’s a stolen vehicle, if it’s somebody whose an old and endangered missing person, a runaway, a vehicle used in an armed robbery. Once they get a hit on it, it’s basically information that’s passed to either dispatch or a law enforcement officer close by, and they can follow up and try to find the vehicle.”
Larkin: “They’re down in Florida. The car is stolen out of New York. Through what we call teletype, it’ll actually give you the original reporting agency information, it will have a report number and will have the owner’s name and phone number. So they can contact them…” Abrams: “It sounds like there may not be a dispute about who that owner is.” Wilson: “Absolutely. It’s one of those things, if you’re gonna purchase a vehicle from someone else, you got to make sure either if you’re making payments, have your receipts, bill of sale, get that title, those things can help you.”
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Officers tell a bunch of motorists (who appear young) in parking garage to leave the facility. Ofr. Jim Fisher: “If you come back here again, you guys are gonna get cited. Don’t come back here anymore tonight.” Fisher orders one vehicle to pull over and then he and colleagues have to make traffic stop on it outside for window-tint issue and no front bumper cover. Citation likely issued.
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Ofr. Verdekal responds to a report of an assault in progress. He also says the thought heard gunshots. He makes contact with a pedestrian who doesn’t have any info.

Sgt. Paul Yacobozzi: “We’re still trying to figure out who this guy is. I’ve got his name; we’re gonna start there. He’s extremely impaired, whether it be on drugs or alcohol or both. We’re gonna go and see if the business knows who he is, and we’re gonna try to get family. If we can’t get someone to come pick him up, we may have to EPC [emergency protective custody] him just because of the state. He’s not making any sense, making random notes. Right now, we just go him detained. As of right now, he’s not going to jail, but that could change per further investigation. He’s just all over the place, and it’s just — it’s unreal.”

On Patrol: Live Summary for April 29, 2023 (#OPL Episode 01-78)
- Nye County, Nev. — Deputies respond to report of woman accused of allegedly groping minors during basketball game. She denies the allegation: “I did not grab his junk.” Abrams: “…otherwise known as a flagrant foul…gives a new meaning to pickup basketball.” Dep. Tony Mendes Jr.: “So it sounds like there was some sort of a basketball game where this lady and some juveniles were playing. Sounds like she allegedly grabbed ahold of one of the juveniles in a private area. We’re checking with some other individuals that were at the park to see exactly what’s going on. She says that she was guarding them, playing them in basketball, but one of the detectives on scene may have seen some video, so we’ll go from there….”
Mendes subsequently explains that “Talking with my partners, we believe we do have elements for lewdness with a minor. However, the juveniles are being cooperative but they don’t want to be victims. However, it’s not up to them. So we’re gonna contact the parents, let them know what’s going on, see how they would like to proceed. At the bare minimum, she’s gonna got to jail for an ex-felon failure to register, and then we’ll see on the lewdness with a minor, unlawful touching of a minor; we’ll go from there.”
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Cops investigate an alleged burglary with an assault with the subject still inside the home. The alleged subject, possibly the alleged victim’s ex-boyfriend, is supposedly known to police but had left residence before they arrived. Ofr. Verdekal searches the area in his patrol car. According to him, “it’s a male that’s very well-known to us…he may be wanted too.” Cops make contact with complainant at her residence. They subsequently detain a man who denies committing an assault. He is arrested. Abrams: “Some inconsistencies in his account.” Abrams later adds that “as we talked about, they knew who he was, and obviously that made it a lot easier to identify him.”
Before the arrest, Verdekal claimed that the victim had ended a previous relationship with the male. “He came back earlier, entered the window I guess, got into an altercation with her…He left, he returns, he then enters through the window again, and she says she’s calling the police. And he leaves. So we have a couple of different charges on the male once we locate him. If we don’t locate him, we’ll just put out a warrant for him. We’ll see if we can pick him up tonight; I’m sure he’s gonna be around.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Cops investigate a possible disturbance involving a man with a gun in a residential neighborhood. They canvas area and clear an abandoned house that had an open door. Det. Alex Grau: “Cleared the first floor; the house should probably be condemned, and it doesn’t look like anybody should be in there. So we decided not to go up in the second floor because it doesn’t look safe for us to go up there. But we didn’t hear anybody; we didn’t see anybody.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Traffic stop by Master Deputy Jamal Christian; expired registration. The initially quarrelsome driver released with warning to resolve the issue with the DMV.

- Daytona Beach, Fla. (pre-recorded segment) — Officers respond to trespassing call. Abrams: “Officer Robert Mowery was doing his part to take a ‘bite’ out of crime.” Male subject allegedly involved in multiple instances of trespassing. No license. Needle allegedly found. Male, who briefly lost his teeth on the ground, and his female companion –who allegedly claimed she was going to defecate if she was placed in the back of a police cruiser — both arrested on drug-related charges. Mowery: “Prisoner transport showed up, and at that point in time, she said she didn’t want to defecate on herself anymore. Mowery: “They’re both trespassed away from the school, and we’re gonna get on with our day.”
Abrams: “You know, we see something here that we’ve seen a lot on this show, which is relatively minor violations, but then happening again and again and again. And finally, the officers have to make the decision to say ‘we got to take you in at this point.'” Wilson: “They have no choice because of the fact, like you just said, they’re continuing to do the same thing over and over again, so something has to be done. It’s like a habitual offender in a sense. So they have to get arrested in this case.”
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies respond to a shooting call. Suspect subsequently detained at a traffic stop in a downtown area. Rifle allegedly found in car.
Dep. James: “So essentially, this gentleman over here that they have secured was behind a pizza shop, and this rifle, that we had in the trunk here, he started firing it. Fortunately, nobody was injured or killed. Witnesses say it was in a blue Honda leaving the scene. They were really quick in apprehending this vehicle and getting him out of the car, so he’s gonna be going to jail for some serious charges, and they have the weapon right out of the trunk. So this ended up very good tonight. Nobody got shot. It’s a very busy area; lots of people down here. We don’t want anybody getting show down here tonight.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Dep. Christian responds to report of an employee who allegedly threatened to beat up manager at a fast food restaurant.

- Wanted segment — Los Angeles, Cal.
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Sgt. Booth makes contact with female pedestrian who was walking in the middle of the road. Booth: “Pull you clothes up — get right…I just want you to have a little bit of dignity.”
- Nye County, Nev. — Deputies respond to a domestic incident between father and son at apartment complex allegedly involving headphones.
- Richland County, S.C. — Dep. Christian returns to the fast food restaurant where an accident occurred at the drive thru. Caption: “Burritos and bumpers.”
- Nye County, Nev. (pre-recorded segment) — Deputies respond to report from neighbors of a man allegedly firing a gun. Two men detained at gunpoint. Residence cleared. Firearms allegedly found. The duo faces multiple charges including an alleged stolen firearm.
Abrams: “Obviously, a big difference between shooting in the air and actually shooting at a property.” Larkin: “Yeah, exactly. There’s gonna be city ordinances, or in this situation, state laws, county laws, as far as shooting that firearm within a certain area. But anytime you’re shooting into an occupied vehicle, an occupied house, it’s gonna be a felony. The officers are gonna treat it like the tactical way we saw them do there to get those guys in custody.”
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officers respond to a purported road-rage incident involving a driver who allegedly shot at another car. Cops pursue a car that allegedly matched the description followed by a foot bail and foot pursuit with K9 deployed. Subject detained.
Ofr. B. Ramirez: “That’s the driver of the fleeing vehicle that we chased down, that we pursued. We got two stick hits on his tires. He ran out of tires; he definitely stopped down the street up here. We were second in line. He took off on foot. I got with the K9 and helped track him down. Once K9 had him pinned, he didn’t want to get dog-bit, so me and that officer over there took him into custody. And thankfully, nobody was hurt, and right now, we’re gonna have a show-up for the victim that had the vehicle shot, and see if that’s the person that did it. And I need to go find my car.” Abrams: “Now we are told that K9 Zeus did not actually end up having to bite the suspect there, but you did hear that K9 in the background.”
Update from Ramirez, “So we had the victims of the road-rage incident earlier come by, do a show-up with the vehicle, and do a show-up with the subject that we got in custody that fled from this vehicle. It just happened to be a coincidence that this vehicle matched the description of the shooting. As soon as an officer got behind it, this vehicle fled….we ended up finding the vehicle. He bailed out. They just happened to be two separate incidences and unrelated.”
Abrams: “Oh, okay. Well, that’s fascinating. And obviously this was a fleeing vehicle in connection with a separate incident.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Deputies respond to a shots fired call and search backyard area on foot. Dep. Christian: “The call came in for one gunshot but the person that actually lives here, the woman saying that she heard two gunshots in her backyard. But we’re unable to look at any shell casings in the backyard. So we’re gonna try to get to the apartment complex on the other side to see if we have any shell casings or if anyone heard any gun fire on that side.”
- Nye County, Nev. — Deputies Mendes and Nicholas Huggins respond to vehicle fire that might be spreading to a structure. They evacuate the apartment complex due to the potential danger to the occupants. Fire department arrives and extinguishes the conflagration. The car is empty. Dep. Mendes: “Due to exigency, we did make entry to the unit closest to the fire; no one was inside thankfully…we did get some word from neighbors that there possibly is a homeless gentleman that may be residing inside the Bronco. So once the scene is safe, fire department will make entry into the vehicle just to make sure there’s no one in there.” Dep. Huggins: “We were able to successfully clear the rest of the two structures here, so we know that there is no immediate danger to any people as far as the property problem…We’ll standby if [FD[ needs any assistance, we’re more than happy to provide it, but our job right now is just to stay out of their way and let them work.”
Mendes later adds that “it did look like one of the units closest to the fire did sustain some cracked windows due to the fire. That family is not home. We will have to contact them at a later date. We’ll give them some contact information and let them know that we did break in to their house, and the windows were shattered due to the fire. Right now, my partner is working on getting contact information, and hopefully we can find out who lives here.” Abrams: “Of course, the good news is, as far as we know, everyone is okay.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Officers investigate a vehicle parked on the wrong side of the road or for some other infraction. Driver advises that he has a legal gun in the car. R. Det. Alex Grau has a friendly conversation with driver. Grau: “They were good; they were allowed to have a firearm. Just gonna kick them loose, give them a warning about why they got pulled over.”
- Beech Grove, Ind. — Sgt. Joe Garrison and other officers investigate an alleged disturbance at a motel between a man and a woman and make contact with them. Male: “I got nothing to say; I’m good.” He appears to perhaps have some kind of laceration in the eye area. Warning apparently issued.
- Toledo, Ohio — Multiple cops respond to report of a fight or shooting at a bar. After an investigation, a officer at the scene explains that “possibly someone just broke a beer bottle during a fight. No one seems to be shot or injured.” Abrams: “Wow; that’s, I guess, a relief.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputies pursue a vehicle and then make a traffic stop at gunpoint in a driveway. Driver detained. Cpl. BJ Nelson: “We had an incident happen earlier tonight…armed robbery…supposedly three subjects stole some narcotics, had a firearm on them,.” Deputies allegedly identified the vehicle address via its tags and another deputy’s familiarity with the vehicle. They were “able to find the vehicle heading back home to this location. Was able to get the car stopped, which we conducted a felony traffic stop. Took one subject into custody…the other two are still outstanding. So now we’re just waiting on the [local] police department to come here, talk to him, process the scene, and just go from there to see what they want to do. We actually have a victim, so that’s a plus. All deputies are good and accounted for, so a win for us.”
- Volusia County, S. C. — Traffic stop outside pizza parlor for headlight issue. Deputies allegedly smell weed; car search. Dep. James: “If nothing is in the car, you’ll be good to go.” Dep. Melissa Bartzer: “How old are these French fries?” She jokes that “my advice is to clean your car…if I could write you a cleaning ticket…” Driver released with warning for the headlight and “cleanliness.” Abrams: “I was thinking if that was a violation, there’d be a lot of people getting tickets.”
- Toledo, Ohio (pre-recorded segment) — Traffic stop in residential neighborhood for erratic driving. Weed and a firearm found; the latter turns out to a starter pistol which is temporarily confiscated. The studio hosts banter about the old-school Cadillac. Larkin: “Considering it’s still old, it’s still newer than mine.” Possible infractions for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident and for a suspended license. Larkin: “The starter pistol that was found there, yes did look like a real firearm, and there are actually laws in place, again varies by state, where if you’re a convicted felon, and you’re in possession of what they call an imitation firearm, something that looks like a firearm, it’ is still actually a felony, and you can be charged and actually go to prison for it.”
- Volusia County, Fla. — Dep. Sarah Peas makes contact with woman at residence who seems to express some concern about a male who left the location in a car.
- Crime of the Night — Hazen, Ark.
- Nye County, Nev. — Traffic stop on slow roller with no plates. Driver says he just bought car.
