This Weekend’s On Patrol: Live Highlights, Quotes, Social Media Activity, 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.

On Patrol: Live Summary for May 12, 2023 (#OPL Episode 01-81)
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Cops look for a car allegedly involved in a hit and run and make contact with some argumentative persons on the porch of a residence. Ofr. JImmy Verdekal: “Keep your drunk ass on the porch.” Male subject: “I didn’t drink anything until I got back home.” Some of the dialogue is bleeped out.
Verdekal: “From the time he left the crash until the time he got back here, there was a delay, so there’s a good possibility he was able to get drunk from the time of the crash until now. So that’s why he wasn’t able to take him for the DUI. Trust me — I know that Officer Duffy would love to take him for DUI, but it probably wouldn’t stand up in court.” Abrams: “So he’s not getting charged; he got a summons for a misdemeanor traffic offense. Got to be very frustrating.” Larkin: “Very frustrating for the officers; very lucky for the suspect.” Abrams: “They could have charged him for public intoxication.” Wilson: “Breach of peace.” Larkin: “In a hit and run, it’s a misdemeanor. It can be a citable offense, but when you are out in public drunk, especially talking that way to law enforcement or anybody else in front of women, kids, or things like that, arresting someone for pubic intox solves that situation very quickly.”
- Beech Grove, Ind. — Officers make traffic stop at gunpoint on car possibly involved in kidnapping. According to Abrams, two women and one man arrested although he is unware of the charges. Investigation ongoing.
- Richland County, S.C. — Traffic stop; driver warned about blue light infraction.
- Toledo, Ohio — Officers respond to report of argument at fast food restaurant and make contact with several people in parking lot. For some reason, store employees subsequently call 911 on cops. Caption: “Call the cops on the cops.” Sgt. Geoff McLendon: “Apparently, we’re not the police, and we told this lady not to call 911 who’s supposedly the manager here at McDonald’s. And she called 911 anyway. So they’re gonna get her information, and we’re gonna write her a 911 misuse ticket. She’s wasting resources, wasting time, there could be someone that’s in an emergency that needs 911. Obviously, the situation was taken care of. For her to do that doesn’t make sense. So she’s gonna be getting a ticket for 911 misuse.” Abrams: “It seems very well deservedly so.”
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Traffic stop and foot bail. Cops search the area for subject. Fireworks audible in background.
- Volusia County, Fla. — Traffic stop on truck for nonfunctioning tail lights and for alleged erratic driving. . Driver says he had “a sip” of beer. Field sobriety tests. Abrams: “This is not off to a good start., but we’ll see what happens.” Driver arrested for alleged suspicion of DUI. Cops ask driver if he will consent to a breathalyzer test.
Abrams: There are certain automatic penalties if you refuse. But what we’re talking about, we were just talking about this a moment ago, is there’s also the possibility of being under the influence of something else. Larkin: “You could actually take the breath test, or the intoxilyzer, the breathalyzer, when you get back to the station. And it might blow zeros, but then they can still file for a warrant to get blood if they suspect you’re under the influence of something else.”
- Toledo, Ohio (pre-recorded segment) — A wild pursuit prompted by a simple traffic stop for an expired plate. A subject who allegedly matches the description detained after he was spotting under a deck of a home. “I’m not gonna lie; I’m a little drunk.” Subject also says he has “some petty-ass warrants.” Det. Alex Grau: “He just says he’s drunk or he fell asleep under the deck. But we know it’s him. He’s just trying to hid from us, but we got him. Good guys win, bad guys lose.” Abrams: “He’s a pretty unique looking dude.” Larkin: “He stands out.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Capt. — Danny Brown makes contact with occupants of parked car outside of motel. Barking dogs in vehicle. He and Dep. Isaac Page allegedly smell weed in the area. Caption: “Dank dachshunds.” Abrams: “Lets get in a a break before Capt. Brown pulls a Pepe Le Pew.”
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officers spot flashlights used at a compound where pickup trucks are parked. Det. Selina Puentes: “So we just thought it was weird. Just kind of check it out. He came up and said that it was his uncle’s property, and he allowed them to be here. So we’re just gonna confirm everything, and get them out of here.”
- Volusia County, Fla. – (pre-taped segment) — Abrams introduces segment by referring to a “homeowner who made a ‘bone-chilling’ discovery.” Dep. Jake Bissonnette investigates a report of bones found at residence. He sends pics to investigators who determine they are not human bones.
Abrams alludes to the fact that this kind of mistake happens a lot. Wilson: “Better safe than sorry when you call things like that in. It happens in Richland County quite a bit because you have a lot of wooded areas. So what happens is, you get hunters who are out there hunting, and they come across these bones and so forth, and they call law enforcement. We’ll get out there, we’ll set up the crime scene tape, do all that stuff like that. But then we’ll also call in the coroner’s office to get the anthropologists out there to take a look and see what’s going on there. Nine out of 10, it always turns out to be some animal.” Abrams: “And you can tell how quickly they were able to tell just by looking at the picture.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Cops respond to another report of a fast-food restaurant dispute. Sgt. McLendon: “We came here for an unwanted party. They were in the drive-thru. I guess they were threatening to throw water through the drive-thru windows. So they called the police. They don’t have any documentation of it right now. So they’re gonna call back later. Seems like they’re pretty busy. So probably an upset customer. Seems to be solved for now.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Capt. Brown interacts with TikTokers in parking lot and participates in their video.
- Beech Grove, Ind. (pre-recorded segment) — Abrams: “Buying a car on Craigslist can be risky, but as one man learned…it’s still probably better than buying from ‘Greg’s list.'” Officers make traffic stop on vehicle with alleged stolen plate. Gun and drugs allegedly found. Driver, who says he bought the car for $450 from someone named Greg, is arrested.
Abrams; “You know, sometimes a deal is to good too be true, if he actually did pay Greg $450.” Larkin: “If he actually did. When you have somebody who’s been stopped multiple times in a stolen car, that’s what we call a pattern or some really, really bad luck. But if you’re gonna buy a car over social media or anywhere else, you obviously want to get a title if you pay for it upfront. If not, have like a notarized bill of sale there. You could print them off the Internet, and that’s at least gonna cover you somewhat while you’re in the car if it’s reported stolen.” Abrams: “Is it though?” Larkin: “It will help you out on the car stop maybe later down the road.” Abrams: “Because you’re at least acting in good faith even if it’s a stolen car, and you didn’t do what you’re supposed to do, at least your intent was legit.” Wilson: “A bill of sale, a receipt, and so forth, if it’s legit, they can follow up on that, and it could help you out at least. Don’t just print one up and do it. You’re gonna get busted.” Larkin: “You will get busted. There are people who specialize in stealing cars and trying to cover it up every time they get caught.”
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies make contact with several people eating outside at restaurant who they suspect of allegedly being involved in an iPhone theft. They allegedly match the description of subjects on video surveillance. Dep. Devin LaFoucade: “We had a theft on the beach last night, and they meet the description exactly. It is them. But unfortunately, the victim didn’t want to press charges once we recovered their property. So they’re lucky. They’re not gonna fess up to it obviously. At this time, we don’t have reason to arrest them because, again, the victim didn’t want to press charges. The best we can do, we can walk up to them, give them a little lecture, tell them that now the sheriff’s office is in charge of the beach, so we’re not gonna tolerate any of that, and we’ll probably be seeing them again in the future.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Deputies investigate report of drag racing/donuts in residential neighborhood. Traffic stop on car leaving the area with no lights and expired tags. That vehicle is not involved, however, and driver is released. Capt. Brown: “No harm, no foul…seemed like a good dude.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Driver arrested for alleged DUI after field sobriety testing.
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies respond to report of woman passed out on sidewalk. She is transported to the hospital. Abrams: “The good news here is this is not someone who was driving a vehicle.”
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Traffic stop on driver who allegedly made a wrong turn on a one-way street. Released with warning.
- Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Ofr. Linsay Zarick spots disabled vehicle in the middle of a busy street. She explains to driver that the car needs to be towed as a result. Car also apparently has expired plate. Abrams: “Police are not Triple A.” Larkin: “It’s obviously a road hazard…but it’s also a safety issue for him or anybody else that’s in the car. So sometimes we’ll push it out, sometimes we’ll call a city contractor, a tow truck, or if they can get it out on their own, just saves them money.”
- Crime of the Night — Milwaukee, Wisc.
- Nye County, Nev. (pre-recorded segment) — Deputies arrest a wanted subject at a residence in a bedroom. Abrams: “That’s one heck of a jacuzzi that they had in that house. But I will say that it wasn’t the easiest house to search. They had all sorts of mess, garbage, all over the place.” Larkin: “Lots of issues within that house to move through it systematically, clearing it. But I can tell you from experience, when you are told that there is a wanted person inside of a house, or you’re there on a search warrant, and somebody that you’ve already spoken to says ‘yes, he’s back there, he’s hiding back there.’ And you make these announcements, and they don’t want to still come out to you, it is very, very unnerving because this person — they know you’re coming in…so just from the perspective of the officers moving through, you kind of get those little hairs in the back of your neck that raise up.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputies search for suspects in a possible armed robbery in a wooded area or a construction site.
- Richland County, S.C. — Traffic stop on vehicle for running a stop sign. Packages of edibles allegedly spotted. Car search. Driver arrested. Caption “Bad news bears?” Abrams: “And again, key difference…THC vs. just CBD stuff which would not be illegal.” Capt. Brown: “These are edibles, possession with intent to distribute, tons of them.” Abrams: “As Curtis and I were just discussing, different laws in different states.” Wilson; “That’s what it is.”
Dep. Page: “They do sell CBD gummies here, but it’s got THC content; you can’t have it here. He’s got a lot of it. So he’s gonna be going to jail for that. Found a little bit of weed on the passenger seat; that’s nothing. But the gummies [are] a big deal…”
- Wanted segment — Berkeley Lake, Ga.
- Volusia County, Fla. — Deputies respond to report of a fight at or outside movie theater. One male who tried to walk away from cops is forcibly detained and cuffed. Young male: “I didn’t do sh*t.” Dep. Royce James: “That was kind of dumb…while we’re trying to figure out what happened here, we’re telling you to stop so we can figure it out…you’re gonna get in trouble by not listening to simple commands like ‘stop’…give us a minute to figure it out…just chill out.” Abrams: “That looked like almost a potentially dangerous situation for Deputy James there for a moment.” Wilson: “You grab a guy who’s irate and you turn him around, and he’s swinging. Then he has to take him down to the ground and put the cuffs on him. And now he’s trying to talk to him, to let him know this is not how it should go. There’s other ways to handle things, And again, like you say, [the deputy] is just arriving on the scene, he has no clue who this guy is, what took place. Let us break this thing down, figure it out, and find out who’s responsible for what took place.” Larkin: “Just that little motion that this young man did by swinging at the officer like that, potentially is an assault and battery on a police officer, which could be a felony for him.”
Dep. James indicates that the investigation is ongoing: “From what I’m gathering from the witnesses and the victim over here is these three people over here jumped on him and started fighting him. So once we get this sorted out, there’s a good chance that they might be getting criminal charges.” He subsequently adds that “after dissecting this hot mess, some of the people who were involved are no longer here. However, we do have two victims over here. Their stories are very similar. They were just hanging out out here. These three over here decided to jump them, which explains his behavior earlier. So these three are gonna be going to jail, and the two victims over there are gonna be good to go with their parent.”
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Traffic stop apparently for windshield issue. Voluntary car search. Det. Puentes tells driver that his “cologne is so strong.” Caption: “Drakkar and driving.” Released with warning. Puentes: “That was some very overpowering cologne; smacked me in the face before even I got to the car….he’s gonna get that windshield taken care of supposedly. If I see him again, I’ll write him a citation…there’s nothing in the car.”
- Nye County, Nev. (pre-recorded segment — Traffic stop on vehicle that is transporting a couch for nonfunctioning brake light. Deputy: “That’s a very new way to carry a couch.” Suspended license. Wilson: “He’s telling him to get where he needs to go without telling him.” Larkin: “This guy is like a modern-day Nye County MacGyver. So he’s got this Mercedes with a couch on it…but what stood out to me, and I didn’t catch it until he mentioned it there. He had an extension cord tying the couch down, not a strap, not a rope. An extension cord.” Wilson: “I’m sure you’ve seen people with crazy stuff going down the street, rocking chairs, giant TVs, mattresses — let the wind catch that.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputies investigate domestic incident in which a woman was allegedly struck in the head with a gun. Dep. Devante Smith: “We came out here for some sort of altercation involving a firearm. Supposedly one of the suspects got hit with a pistol…she’s very irate and combative towards us right now. We’re trying to calm her down so we can get a full story from both sides and put the puzzle together what took place out here. So we have to investigate this and see where we go.” Dep. Brandon Williams: “She’s a little irritated, obviously. She got into an altercation with her mother. She’s got a gash on top of her left eye. EMS is here to check her out. She [doesn’t[ want to press charges. That’s their right. We can’t force people to press charges…we’ll document the incident. So if anything else happens, deputies that come back out here, they can look up the case number and see that we responded to an altercation, detail it…hopefully, she’ll go to her grandmother’s house which is up the road, and let the alcohol wear off, and hopefully the tensions…”
- Toledo, Ohio — Traffic stop on alleged wrong-way bicyclist who says he has a small bag of weed on him. Much of the dialogue bleeped out.
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officer B. Ramirez makes friendly contact with a couple who have belongs on the ground. Male party plays the flute.

On Patrol: Live Summary for May 13, 2023 (#OPL Episode 01-82)
- Richland County, S.C. — Deputies respond to report of burglary in progress at apartment complex. Complainant kicks in door, and deputies clear the location. Abrams jokes that “We’re thinking Sgt. Garo Brown might huff and puff and blow that door down.” The focus of the investigation shifts to a nearby apartment complex where a possibly armed suspect who may also have been involved in a prior shooting incident, allegedly the soon-to-be ex-husband of the complainant, has purportedly barricaded himself in. Cops are not 100 percent sure, however, that the suspect is inside. In addition to deputies on patrol, the Special Response Team (SRT), equivalent to the SWAT squad, K9, an armored “MOJO” vehicle, drone, and robot deployed. Via a PA system, deputies repeatedly ask the suspect to surrender voluntarily.
Numerous updates during the show provided by Sgt. Brown and co-host Wilson, the latter who is on the phone with his Richland County colleagues.
SEE UPDATE BELOW
Sgt. Brown: “Eventually we’re gonna have to make entry; they’re trying not to do that…we’re gonna be out here until we get him in custody…it’s just a waiting game. The more you kind of wait him out, the easier it will be get him out once we make entry…we should have some movement here shortly.”
Abrams; “It’s gonna take as long as it’s gonna take.”
Cops had still not entered the apartment at the time the show went off the air.
Wilson: “Like I said earlier, time is on our side. They still want this guy to just come on out peacefully, so they can get in and get the situation rectified. He’s wanted for attempted murder, and what they’re doing is making sure to keep this area safe, all of the residents in that area safe. Get him out as peaceful as possible, get him arrested, and that would be the end.”
Larkin: “Just really quick about some of the equipment. You see the SUV. That’s called a ballistic blanket they’ve got laying across the windshield there, which gives those officers ballistic cover as well as the engine block. Bringing in the ‘MOJO’ there — it’s basically, essentially, just in layman’s terms, it’s a bullet-proof vehicle that gives them something to operate out of. It will have equipment inside, there’s gonna be a turret on that top that somebody with a long rifle can position himself with cover. And they’re gonna have gas capabilities and things like that should they need it used in that vehicle.”
The studio hosts also point out that cops need a search warrant for the premises which they are obtaining so they can legally use forced entry if necessary.
About the robotic device, Wilson explains that “it’s an amazing piece of equipment that the Richland County Sheriff’s Department has. This thing has cameras on it, it has hands that can grab, it can move all around this whole place. They’re probably gonna use this instead of sending a life in there just in case this individual is ready to fire. So it’s a safety thing right here…it also has the ability to put gas into that location as well.”
Larkin: “It looked like the two SRT guys moving out there, one had the ballistic shield and the one behind him looked like he was actually holding a remote-control device for the robot. So if they’ve gotten the search warrant for the residence, they can breach the door with a ram, and then send the robot through, as Curtis mentioned, which is a safety issue for the officers, and clear as much of it as they can, just the robot alone…I’ll say this…I was on our SWAT team for seven years, part of our gang unit. I’ve been a part of over a thousand search warrants there in my career. There have been times we’ve been told this person is inside either from an officer or a citizen, and we’ve spent hours and hours, we put gas inside, and we ended up eventually going inside the residence, and they’re not there. So it does happen, very often actually, that you spend a lot of time, a lot of resources, which is the right thing to do, but your suspect is not inside.”
Larkin: “If the suspect comes out and decides to flee on foot, they’ve got the dogs. Listen, some people are just scared of the dog. They got the dog up there, it starts baking, the guy is like, ‘you know what, I don’t want to get bit by the dog.’ He may come out. Another thing that the officers can potentially do is fire a beanbag round, what we call a kinetic baton, through just the window, break the glass. Let the guy know, ‘hey, we’re not leaving. We are here.’ They can also put in gas, chemical munitions, official term, things like that, so they still have a lot of options, a lot of time to keep moving through this thing.”
Sgt. Brown provided an update a few minutes before Saturday night’s episode concluded:
“We’re still trying to get the suspect to come out. Apparently, he’s been connected to a shooting that occurred last night. He’s got some felony warrants on him, multiple felony warrants, one of them being attempted murder, among other things. So if he’s inside, we’re not gonna go away. He thinks he can just wait us out. He can’t. At some point, when they get everything together, they’re gonna go ahead and make forced entry. So they’re just waiting for that to happen. But again, this is a dangerous suspect. He shot at people; he was involved in an incident yesterday. He’s got multiple felony warrants on him. So we got to make sure we got hands on him tonight if he’s inside. So that’s what we’re waiting on.”
In his final update of the evening, co-host Wilson added these alleged facts:
“So, basically, yesterday evening what happened was he went over to the home of his ex. She was out there with three other individuals, three male individuals. The argument ensues, they saw he had a gun. They ran inside the apartment, and at that point, he kicked the door in, goes inside, and fires multiple shots. He strikes one of the individuals who’s going to survive, and then he flees that area. Deputies go back over to that area this morning, I mean this afternoon, evening actually, finds out that this guy is over at [the apartment complex] which is not too far…”
Abrams then interjects that “this is the because ex has now reported there was a burglary at her apartment, and she suspects it’s him. Same guy who’s suspect in the shooting from earlier.”
Wilson continued: “And so Garo and the rest of these deputies end up at this location, in the apartment that they believe that he may be in. And again, like he said, we’re going to wait this out until there is an appropriate time that they go ahead and breach this apartment and go inside, and see if he’s inside, and if so, they’ll apprehend him.”
UPDATE: It turns out that the suspect was not inside. The investigation is ongoing.
- Daytona Beach, Fla. — Cops detain main in in a incident that started out as a mere parking infraction.. Dialogue heavily bleeped. Det. Puentes: “I was running his license, and I heard him yelling at another officer, saying ‘take your badge off, I’ll beat you up,’ or whatever. He’s creating a disturbance, creating other people to come out of their apartments…just for a parking violation. So instead of getting a citation and leaving, thirty dollars, thirty-five dollars, whatever it is, he’s going to jail now for disorderly conduct and possibly threatening an officer. We’re gonna tow this car and wrap this up.”

This guy over here says he was sitting in his van the whole time, did not see anybody get hit or pushed. The security guard didn’t say he saw anybody hit or pushed. A little kid just made an utterance that somebody was hit. That’s where this is all feeding off of.
