This Weekend’s On Patrol: Live Highlights, Commentary, and Social Media Activity

On Patrol: Live Season 3: A recap of the June 7, 2025, On Patrol: Live episode (#OPL 03-86), anchored in the NYC studio by attorney and host/executive producer Dan Abrams along with fellow On Patrol: Live studio cast members Curtis Wilson and Tom Rizzo, follows.

On Patrol: Live tonight: #OPNation reacted strongly to a road-rage incident and a domestic incident both in Berkeley County, as well as a Knox-County callback to a horror/mystery movie. And passed-out motorists and individuals needing to go number or number two are separate continuing themes on the show. For this On Patrol: Live episode guide, see below for details on the 26 law enforcement incidents across eight On Patrol: Live police departments (although it must have been a quiet night in Clayton County) during this new episode of On Patrol: Live on Reelz.

During the broadcast, Dan Abrams announced that Detective Daniellly De Andrade (Hollywood, Fla., PD) will make a return visit to the studio set in two weeks, which would coincide with the upcoming June 20-21 OPL episodes.

Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. (just before air) — Corporal Devante Smith and Deputy Bradly Brown investigate an alleged road-rage incident. They make contact with a male whose face is bloodied and who was allegedly attacked with a baton. They subsequently make contact with another male (who was “taking a deuce” when cops arrived and began making announcements outside his home) to get his side of the story, which apparently is self defense. Cops canvas the neighborhood to talk to potential witnesses and for possible Ring video from homeowners. On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “You can tell they aren’t quite sure yet what happened, but I think they have some strong suspicions.” Investigation ongoing.

Abrams: “So they have their suspect in the back of the police car, but they’re still a little bit unclear on what the evidence is here. So it sounds like they might even hand it off to detectives.”

  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Jacob Moore and other units respond to a report of someone allegedly nodding off in a car. Officer Moore claims that he smells alcohol. The driver says she doesn’t know how much she had to drink and also seems to admit she’s not okay to drive. Although the audio is partially blocked out by bleeping, it sounds like she declines field sobriety testing. Officer Moore: “I think you may be a little bit to impaired to do the tests.” The incident, which by an #OPNation consensus evokes imagery of The Ring horror movie, results in a DUI arrest.

Officer Moore recap: “So she was passed out in that vehicle over there. EMS came out to check her out. A good Samaritan pulled her car into this parking lot here. She is way too intoxicated. She smells like alcohol. She admitted to drinking. Asked her if she’d do standardized field sobriety tests; she said she’s too drunk to do the tests. I’m gonna read her Tennessee implied consent. I think she’s probably too intoxicated to even consent to that. And we’ll probably have to transport her…come out here and pick her up”

  • Richland County, S.C. — Master Deputy Nathan Rowley and other units investigate a shooting outside of a restaurant. A male is detained on scene. Paramedics summoned. Cops find a hoodie or jacket that seems to have miraculously stopped a “projectile” from causing serious injury to the man. Police also find a handgun on the ground. Abrams: “So this guy appears to have gunshot wounds. It’s just unclear — is he the victim or the suspect?…” Investigation ongoing.

On Patrol: Live studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “It looked to be a hollow-point round, which is crazy, that a jacket like that actually captured it and prevented it from penetrating his body. And notice how it didn’t mushroom as what we call the effect of when it penetrates a surface. That’s crazy. You talk about the odds of that happening…” Abrams: “And you can see the officers responding in the same way.” On Patrol: Live co-host Curtis Wilson: “He’s lucky; this guy’s definitely lucky.”

Listen to Lieutenant Chris Blanding discuss the case thus far after which Abrams asserts that “there’s a lot of questions still to be answered here”:

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — On a well-being check, Sergeant Christopher Maher responds to a call about a “suspicious person” allegedly in a port-a-potty for a half hour. He knocks on he door and makes contact with a subject. Sergeant Maher: “This could have been an overdose…who knows. It turns out it was just a male with diarrhea. And he’s not doing alright, but he’s doing okay from my perspective…there was a person in there, and he’s okay. He’s probably not okay, but he’s not needing law enforcement assistance. Hopefully not…” Abrams: “So somebody with the runs. It happens…”

“It turns out it was just a male with diarrhea.”

  • Las Vegas, Nev. — Officer Jacob Bowden and other cops respond to a report of a burglary or attempted burglary. He makes contact with the complainant to obtain details and searches the backyard and immediate area for a suspect. K9 deployed.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Corporal Smith and colleagues respond to a possible domestic incident and find an elderly man on his knees and with hand lacerations outside the front door of a home. Corporal Smith helps the man up: “I got you, bro. I ain’t gonna let you fall.” They knock on the front door and an elderly female comes out and initially shouts “I need to pee.” Abrams: “So they got to do two things here. They got to assist, and they got to investigate. And they can’t just let her go pee. Got to talk to her.” Paramedics summoned to treat the male and transport him to the hospital. Cops spot broken windows in the home and the car. The male declines to press charges. There is some strange writing on the front window of the house. Abrams: “Writing on the window is like horror movie stuff…”

Corporal Smith incident summary: “He sustained a couple of injuries from an assault by his wife. He’s not willing to press charges. He gonna sign a refusal to prosecute form, and he’s gonna be transported — so he wants to go to the hospital to get checked out for his injuries. EMS is gonna transport him to the hospital, and unfortunately, the wife gets to walk free tonight since he didn’t want to press charges on her. Hopefully, this doesn’t escalate. He’s gonna go to the hospital, so that’s gonna separate both of them, and hopefully he can find a different alternative for where he’s gonna go tonight. Maybe a family member’s house, so he won’t have to deal with this.”

Cpl. Smith: “…the wife gets to walk free tonight since he didn’t want to press charges on her…”

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Triple Play #2 — a Pleasant Prairie, Wisc., pursuit.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — K9 Officer Jill Herman responds to a call about a fight between two males with a stabbing. Another officer on scene says “they don’t know if they were stabbed or not.” Officer Herman: “I guess no victim, no crime.” Abrams: “I don’t know — I think I’d know if I was stabbed.” Rizzo: “I say the same thing when you ask somebody ‘have you ever been arrested before?’ ‘I don’t remember; I don’t recall.’ You might recall those things.”
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Sergeant Maher interacts with a subject who cops have detained. On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating car break-ins.” The man denies any involvement (“I ain’t do sh*t…it’s not me”), and police haven’t made a determination either way. Listen as the sergeant banters with the subject about his unique socks:
  • Moore, Okla. — Officer Hughes and other cops make contact with a man sitting outside a Panera restaurant who, according to Abrams, had passed out in public. Cops administer a drug swab test (which Abrams comments is a first on On Patrol: Live) and then field sobriety testing. The man ends up getting arrested for alleged public intoxication and has to be forced into a police cruiser with some difficulty. Abrams: “As they try to shimmy him into the car, we’re gonna shimmy in a break…” He also starts screaming/moaning. Cops have to shackle his feet to prevent him from kicking the cage and take him to the hospital.

Abrams: “As they try to shimmy him into the car, we’re gonna shimmy in a break…”

Officer Hughes recap: “He’s clearly intoxicated on something, and obviously he wants to cause a problem. So he’s going to jail for public intox that at least solves our problem for right now. We won’t have to come back down here. The patrons of Panera and the employees as well won’t have to deal with him. And like I said, he’s going to jail.” Abrams makes a callback to iconic comedian Rodney Dangerfield and his famous ‘not getting any respect’ catchphrase.

  • Knox County, Tenn. (pre-recorded segment) — Officers Ashley Coons and Joseph Morrell participate in a pursuit and apprehension of an alleged DUI suspect who fled from his car on foot. A K9 apprehends the suspect. Car search; drugs allegedly found. Paramedics summoned.

Officer Morrell recap: “While searching the vehicle, we found two individual baggies of what is gonna be crystal meth. Also, our records came back. He’s supposed to have an interlock device used to start his car because of a DUI conviction, which he does not have. And our records told us as well that he has significant DUI history. So the gentleman’s on his way to the hospital to get treated for his dog bite. He’s gonna be facing charges of felony evading, evading on foot, resisting arrest, possession of methamphetamine, driving on a revoked for a conviction of DUI. His vehicle was also seized.”

  • Richland County, S.C. — Deputy Rowley investigates an alleged attempted break-in at an apartment complex. A witness provides a description of the suspect.
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Sergeant Maher, Officer Jonathan Muniz, and other cops back up Detective Noah Galbreath for someone trying to flee on a bike. As they arrive on scene Detective Galbreath already detains the subject, possibly a juvenile, on the ground. Subject: “…the reason I took off is because there’s a lot of sh*t going on…I was scared, bro…” Detective Galbreath: “As long as you got no warrants, it’s just gonna be a misdemeanor. okay? A stupid decision. I don’t think you’re a bad person…” Cops search the location for any potential discarded contraband.
  • Las Vegas, Nev. — Officer Tyler Hauger responds to a dispute between exes, makes contact with a female, and searches the area for the male. According to Officer Hauger the dispute was verbal in nature only:
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. (pre-recorded segment) — Officer Robert Mowery dispatched to a call about, passed-out, wrong-way driver with a car in a ditch. Officer Mowery makes contact with the driver on scene. The driver says she’s on the way to pick up a friend at the airport. Officer Mowery: “That’s gonna be kind of hard — you’re in a ditch.” Officer Mowery also asks “Are you diabetic?” Driver: “Yeah, but no.” Officer Mowery. “That’s not an answer to that question…” Paramedics and a tow truck summoned to the scene. Drug paraphernalia allegedly found. DUI arrest made after field sobriety testing.

Listen to the incident:

  • Richland County, S.C. — Deputy Rowley rushes to a shots-fired incident.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputy Brown and other units back up another officer who made a bicycle stop (possibly for no light) and then allegedly tussled with the bicyclist. The On Patrol: Live caption “searching for suspect” appears to be incorrect, though, in that the suspect seems to be already in custody. Cops on scene are actually searching the adjacent woods for contraband that the suspect might have dropped or tossed. A K9 allegedly locates a baggie containing drugs just before a heavy rainstorm hits.

Listen to Deputy Brown facetiously banter with the suspect, among other things, about the weight of the alleged drugs (“…you’ll have your time in court…good luck, buddy. They’re gonna give you a good breakfast in the morning…when you put it on a scale, that’s what it weighs…”) after which Rizzo point out that “they’re talking about weighing it with the package weight, so that’s what I think the argument’s about:

Deputy Brown wrap up: “So at the end of the day, he’s gonna catch a charge for possession of cocaine. Obviously, more than that, it’s gonna end being PWIT. If it goes that way, it could be trafficking. Assault on police. He’s gonna take a ride and get a free meal on us tonight.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Triple Play #3 — a baby kangaroo named Irwin on the loose or “on the hop” in Durango, Colo.
  • Richland County, S.C. — Lieutenant Chris Blanding investigates a separate shots-fired call at an apartment complex and searches the area.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Cooper Bagwell and other units look for a domestic incident suspect and locates a male allegedly passed out behind the wheel of a truck with the keys in the ignition. After repeatedly asking the subject to open the door, Officer Bagwell pulls the male out of the vehicle and detains him. Officer Harman makes entry into the home to make sure the female and the children are okay. Cops will continue the investigation with the help of a translator. Abrams: “As they investigate there, obviously when [there are] kids involved, it makes it that much more heartbreaking.”
  • Lee County, Fla. — Officer Alexander Chami makes friendly contact with a homeowner to resolve a noise complaint (“the music needs to be lowered”) and a parking issue. “You guys enjoy; have a good time…”
  • Moore, Okla. — Officer Ethan Holmes makes contact with a woman about about her son’s possible stolen iPhone and then goes to a nearby McDonald’s to review store security camera footage that may or may not provide evidence of a purported theft on the premises. A McDonald’s employee named Cherish says hello to #OPNation. And Abrams praises the fast-food outlet because “it would pass any health inspection. It looked nice and clean.” Rizzo: “I was impressed with the little jungle gym, too.”
  • Lee County, Fla. — Officer Chami responds to another noise complaint; a young man walking around on stilts is at the party. Abrams: “I don’t speak Spanish, but I think the translation is ‘we’ve received noise complaints. And could you turn down the music?”’
  • Missing segment — Columbia Heights, Minn.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of drunk driver with passenger in trunk.” Officer Jacob Moore and other cops respond to this call and determines that everyone involved is fine after a well-being check.
  • Listen to Officer Moore’s incident summary (“…there’s no kidnapping, nobody was tied down, but one of the children, the juvenile friends, was in the trunk because that was, I guess, their best means for transporting him back to the house…” Abrams: “I’m surprised they didn’t put the drunk parents in the trunk…”):
  • Berkeley County, S.C. (pre-recorded segment as the episode concludes) — Deputy Abdul Tarik backs up Corporal Ronnie Russell for a disturbance at a gas station involving an allegedly intoxicated man who is arrested for disorderly conduct. Bleeping.

Listen to Corporal Russell’s incident summary:
