Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live captions: “Searching for pursuit suspect,” Searching for suspect.” Lieutenant Kristin Riddle assists a neighboring agency in looking for a vehicle allegedly connected to a shooting. Lt. Riddle arrives on scene where a large group of officers have pulled over a pickup truck. After a standoff for some period of time during which Corporal Carli Carr gives Spanish commands to try to get him to exit the vehicle. Police extract the subject from the truck. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.” Corporal Devonte Carr, Carli’s husband, is also on scene.

Listen below as Corporal Devonte Carr, Carli’s husband who is also on scene, discusses the stop:

Lt. Riddle recap of the allegations: “So this started as a call from North Charleston. We got information that he struck a patrol car…he had an AR. He was holding it out the window, and he was shooting it. One of their officers saw it, attempted to stop it at that point. The vehicle pursuit began, which decided to end almost to Berkeley. He spoke English; he also spoke Spanish. He understood English immediately. Just decided not to exit the car. The good thing is, they were able to get the AR out of the truck, and get that safe, out of the way, and they got him in custody which, it’s a good night. No K9 bite unfortunately, but we got a long night to go…”

Listen below to the On Patrol: Live studio panel discuss the police tactics in this incident:

  • Richland County, S.C. — K9 Specialist Datron Washington, Deputy Toddson Catoe, and other units respond to a report of a car break-in. Two fleeing suspects detained. Along with the other deputies, K9 Specialist John O’Shaughnessy and K9 Bobi search on foot for a third suspect who ran. Bobi appears to subdue the subject. On Patrol: Live caption: “Three suspects in custody.” In an article search, Sonny, Specialist Washington’s K9, finds a gun in the backyard. Deputy Catoe: “Bingo; good job, Sonny…we got another gun off the street…”

Specialist O’Shaughnessy recap: “…as we start tracking. Bobi’s intensity was very high from the beginning, so felt he was pretty close. Get around the corner of the house, and he just took, almost took, my arm off. He’s about to push through the fence line, and snapped his head and went around, and the kid was hiding in between the fence and the gate. By that time, Bobi already had his leg…good tracking.”

On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “K9 changes the game, and you heard him just saying there ‘good track.’ Curtis, you were saying some reasons why that could be the case.” On Patrol: Live studio analyst Curtis Wilson: “Absolutely. It was good terrain for a K9 track because it’s in the evening. No other individuals are out there, so wherever this guy’s stepping, it’s able to get that, the dog is able to get that, scent strong.” On Patrol: Live studio analyst Sean Larkin: “And there’s kind of two schools of thought on how these dogs track. There’s the disturbance in the vegetation while someone’s running through it, disturbing the leaves, the sticks on the ground, and things like. The other one is, as you’re running, you’re shedding skin cells. And so the dog picks up that track, and as you heard right there from O’Shaughnessy, Bobi pulled directly towards him. That’s a good dog.”

Abrams: The K9 becomes the hero again…finding that gun.”

  • Clayton County, Ga. — On Patrol: Live captions: “Tracking fleeing vehicle,” Tracking hit and run vehicle.” Deputy Devon Brown initially assists in a pursuit of a vehicle that allegedly fled from another law enforcement agency a few days previous. Deputy Brown is apparently re-dispatched to another call (see below).
  • Clayton County, Ga. — Abrams: “So Deputy Brown has moved on after Lieutenant [Jonathan] Carey called to a hit and run.” In heavy rain, Lt. Carey tracks and then pulls over a vehicle and questions the driver about the possible accident. The driver denies being involved in an accident. Deputy Brown is on scene. Abrams: “It’s kind of curious. I guess he’s gonna look around the car, right? See if there’s any damage and any evidence, and they’ll go from there. See if they have the right guy.” The traffic stop ends up being inconclusive

Listen below to Deputy Brown’s summary in which he mentions that Lt. Carey didn’t notice any damage on the car and that police will try to find any relevant video footage in a potential follow-up investigation:

Abrams: “This is where they had a hit and run. They approached this vehicle, which they were told that the plate matches the suspect. The guy inside is insisting they have the wrong person…sounds like they’re gonna let him go but they have his information.”

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Backing up other officers, Lieutenant Richie Maher initial responds to an alleged domestic incident but then searches the area for a man who might have allegedly interfered with the call and then walked away. The individual is spotted nearby and is detained for allegedly interfering with an investigation. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.” Sergeant Christopher Maher, Richie’s brother, is also on scene: “You interfered with an investigation, so you’re under arrest for interfering with an investigation.”

Lt. Maher preliminary assessment: “So I think the officers did a good job of showing restraint when they said they’d given him multiple warnings. They had every right to hook this guy up and book him, but we’re not gonna tolerate that type of silliness for the rest of the night. We’re here to investigate a domestic and get this woman some justice, so we’re gonna roll that way, make sure this guy’s not hanging out in the area to be a jerk. He’s not even involved in the domestic portion, so he will be addressed.” Sgt. Maher preliminary comment: “An officer’s working a call down the road, and this guy keeps interfering with his investigation, so we’re gonna go make contact with him, because that’s a crime, and you can’t do that.”

Listen below to Sgt. Maher’s post-arrest recap:

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Triple Play #2 — a Huron Township, Mich., pursuit:
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Lt. Maher spots a man riding in the open bay of a pickup truck but is re-dispatched to another call. “It looks like he lives in that truck.” Abrams: “The guy…looks like he’s picnicking in the back of a pickup…sound like he’s got a more important call to head to.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Jordon Lear and another colleague spot a male laying on the ground outside in front of a convenience store/gas station. Upon being awakened, the subject jumps up startled. He is detained. On Patrol: Live captions; “Drug paraphernalia found,” “Wake up call received.” The subject is subsequently released. Sgt. Lear to subject: “….we ain’t said you were dead. We said we thought you were dead…I’ll let you go with your rude awakening…you was spread eagle…” Another officer on scene: “You know the cops are right here, right? You got to hide your crack, bro. Pull your pants up; your booty crack hangout out…”

Sgt. Lear: “…and these gloves don’t fit…typically, a person wouldn’t normally be sleeping in front of gas station…” Abrams: “The gloves don’t fit…it doesn’t necessarily mean like in other instances where the gloves didn’t fit. Here you just move on with the call.”

Sgt. Lear: “…I guess he was just tired. I guess this is the best motel he could afford. So we sent him on his way, and we’ll move on to something else.”

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for hit and run victim.” Lt. Maher and other officers respond to the scene. Cops spot some fresh blood and a cell phone on scene and are initially concerned that an injured party who may have fallen down somewhere in the nearby woods. “Weird situation.” While at the scene, a motorist who appears to have blood on his head and hand drives up in a vehicle (Police: “Hey, stop driving: There’s a cop car in front of you.”) and seems to be the victim they are looking for. The subject apparently came to scene to look for his phone. The man declines medical attention. Lt. Maher: “He comes up after the road is shut down, almost runs over the cops, and he’s the guy…” The Maher brothers explain in more detail below what they think happened.

Abrams: “Okay; that’s wild. So this is the guy who was hit. He apparently was on his bike. And now he just drove through a scene of police officers who were looking for him. And it sounds like they’re gonna let him go…and [OPL studio analyst] Tom Rizzo pointing out correctly, it wasn’t, as it turns out, a hit and run. Seems it was just a guy crashed out.”

Listen below as the Maher brothers explain what they think happened in the incident:

  • Lee County, Fla. — Deputy Mike Knapp makes contact with a female in a restaurant in response to a report of a male allegedly chocking his girlfriend. No follow-up during the show.
  • Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Jeff Milum and Ryan Klump respond to a shots fired call. Police detain three males approximately across the street from a bank where the gunfire allegedly occurred. Cops note at least one bullet hole in a car that has a flat tire. On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating 18 shots fired.” Abrams update: “The driver and one of the passengers there [were] released but they impounded the car because they want to continue investigating if it was connected in any way. One of the passengers had warrants. That person was arrested.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear and colleagues respond to a report of someone allegedly threatening people at a gas station/convenience store. Police make contact with a male sitting outside who allegedly has a bat (“you play baseball?”). He is detained. Abrams: “Doing a little shopping before going to the batting range.” Abrams later adds that “…when they started chatting with him, the found a bunch of items with the tags…on them in his bag…”

Listen below to Sgt. Lear’s preliminary assessments:

Sgt. Lear: “It’s one of them nights: Crazy people doing crazy things.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Triple Play #3 — an Arkansas state police pursuit.
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Lt. Maher provides backup on a traffic stop and is impressed with the boots worn by a man on scene. Abrams: “Some fine looking boots there…I was just looking up some information about those boots…”

  • Toledo, Ohio — Officers Kaleb Torbet and Jack Oberthaler, among other cops, respond to a report of a couple allegedly fighting. It turns out that the alleged fight is apparently between neighbors. Abrams: “And so the plot thickens…” In the video clip below Officer Oberthaler indicates that cops will prepare a report with both sides of the story: “It sounds like it’s kind of a misunderstanding to what potentially led to a physical altercation, but they’re not sure at this point…”
  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputy Trevor Guinn provides backup on a traffic stop and makes contact with the the subject who allegedly is a registered sex offender. Abrams: “Obviously, sex offenders have restrictions on them with regards to the use of social media, right?, which is why these questions are being asked.” On Patrol: Live caption: “Arrested for failure to register apps.” Abrams: “So he is going to prison for a violation of his obligations as a registered sex offender.”
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Winston Middleton and and a colleague on a traffic stop. Car search. On Patrol: Live caption: “Cannonball found.”
  • Missing segment — Antioch, Calif.
  • Clayton County, Ga. — As the episode concludes at a traffic stop, Deputies Brown and Desmond Whitson, and Lt. Carey, try to get a car passenger to spit out some weed at taser point. Bleeping.
