On Patrol: Live Tonight

Abrams: “It’s become a non-stop night….we have had an incredibly busy night here….one thing to the next…”

Contentious traffic stops in Richland County and Christian County were among the highlights of this all-new episode of On Patrol: Live which was much more hectic than Friday night’s Halloween episode. See below for details on all 21 law enforcement incidents. Note: Lee County was on the this weekend’s roster but did not appear during the show.

For those viewers and/or social media users new to the show, On Patrol Live is more or less a reboot or rebrand of Live PD.

Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Richland County, S.C. — Deputy Toddson Catoe initiates a traffic stop for allegedly speeding (65 mph in a 30-mph zone). The driver pull over but then flees slowly. Traffic stop at gunpoint. On Patrol: Live caption: “Felony stop.” The other deputy on scene remarks “that wasn’t very smart, was it?” Abrams: “Said she wanted to get here to pick up her grandkids because she was concerned about them, and that’s why she didn’t want to pull over for police immediately.”

Listen below as Deputy Catoe explains that “in conclusion, we charged her with reckless driving instead of failure to stop for blue lights, just because of the totality of everything…there’s no excuse to drive like a butt-head, but it’ll be handled in court….”

Abrams about the person who he describes as the “speeding grandma”: “Before, I said ‘no mercy.’ It seems there is gonna be a little bit of mercy out here, so she’s not gonna go to jail, and she’s gonna be able to take those 16 year olds back home.”

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sergeant Jordon Lear and Officer Devon Johnson responds to a call about a man with a gun at an apartment complex. On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of gun threat.” Abrams: “…a woman saying a guy put a gun to her head, and now she’s locked in the bathroom.” The suspect apparently had already left the scene. Abrams: “So it appears to be a very serious family dispute, and they’re trying to just talk to everyone to assess what is going on, but it doesn’t seem that anyone is in imminent danger, which is the good news.” On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating domestic incident.”

Listen below to Officer Johnson’s interim update about this incident in which he implies that the mom is allegedly not necessarily providing useful information about what may have happened:

Listen below to Officer Johnson’s follow-up recap following an investigation at the house (“…we gave her all the resources that we can give her to attempt to help her out…”):

  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Corporal Bryson Fowler makes a friendly traffic stop for alleged tailgating. The driver is released with a warning. The corporal notices what appears to be a bullet hole in the back of the car.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Joseph Vossler and other units, plus paramedics, respond to the scene where a man appears passed out behind the wheel in a gas station parking lot. On Patrol: Live caption: “Responding to overdose.” Narcan administered. Car search; drugs allegedly found. The driver is transported to the hospital.

Listen below as Officer Rengering discusses his experiences with using Narcan (“…it could be sometimes a bit of a hinky situation…”):

Listen below as Officer Vossler provides an update on the incident, including the contraband that cops allegedly found (“…once he gets out of the hospital, we’ll take him to jail to get booked”):

  • Wheeling, W.Va. — Sergeant Jason Hupp and other units conduct a traffic stop for a tail light issue (“None of the tail lights were working; they just didn’t have them turned on.”) Two occupants. The cooperative driver allegedly admits to a little bit of weed. Probable cause car search. The female passenger is detained on warrants. Tom Rizzo implies that the subject will likely be released without posting bail pursuant to personal recognizance. “They’ll get an update as to your contact information and a promise to then appear at the next court date.”
  • Richland County, S.C. — Corporal TJ Norton pulls over a driver for alleged speeding. (82 mph in a 60-mph zone). The driver, age 15-1/2, has a conditional license, which is provided for in South Carolina law. The corporal releases the teen with a warning after providing her with some tutelage about safe-driving practices, including the proper way to pull over in a traffic stop. The occupants are apparently wearing costumes and headed to a Halloween party.

Cpl. Norton: “Hopefully you don’t get stopped anymore even though you’re dressed up as the police…slow down…”

Listen below to some of Cpl. Norton’s friendly interaction with the driver followed by a panel discussion:

Cpl. Norton: “We’re gonna give her some education, and let her know what’s going on…so we just had to school her a little bit…”

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputy Jacob Woodcock assists other units for a vehicle allegedly fleeing vehicle from an attempted traffic stop for expired tags. On Patrol: Live caption: “In pursuit.” Other deputies detain two individuals at or outside a residence. Bleeping. Deputy Woodcock about the alleged driver: “…he came out. He’s very uncooperative, so we had to take him down and get him in cuffs. He’s pretty mouthy right now; he was spewing something about us collecting taxes, and that’s why he ran. Something like that…” Abrams: “One of the things they now have to do is assess whether the passenger committed any crime, right?, because just riding in a car where someone is fleeing from police is not a crime in and of itself.” The driver (“I haven’t done anything wrong…I already knew my tags were expired…”) seems to tell deputies that he is “pulled over constantly for it” but at present, he is unable to afford the renewal: “I get tired of getting harassed and treated like I’m a piece of crap because I can’t afford to pay.” The driver denies resisting. Deputy Trevor Guinn: “…you didn’t stop. That’s resisting. That’s the law Well, you’re going to jail today for felony resisting…” During the conversation, the purported driver appears to bolt from the police cruiser (see video below). “You just charged at us.” Sheriff Brad Cole is also on scene.

Abrams: “It seems he’s gonna be the the only who’s arrested on that scene, but that is a sort of an infuriating situation because the guy knows that he’s got the expired tags. Sometimes people say, ‘oh, I didn’t know.’ This guy knows because he’s been pulled over now numerous times…and somehow believed that he didn’t need to pull over for whatever reason because he was getting tired of getting harassed and something having to do with taxes.” Rizzo: “Infuriating for sure, but what’s more important that I’m glad that we got to see is the unpredictability part. Here’s a guy in handcuffs. He’s already done. He’s in the back of a patrol car and still goes and does something like that…”).

Listen below to some comments from Sheriff Brad Cole about the incident following by a studio panel discussion:

  • Clayton County, Ga. — Deputies Devon Brown and Shamari Davis respond to a rollover accident with injuries after a car purportedly hit a tree and flipped over in a residential driveway or front yard. The fire department on scene extracts a vehicle occupant.

Listen below to an incident summary from Officer Shamari Davis:

  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputies Woodcock and Guinn, and Sheriff Cole, leave the above scene to assist a neighboring agency in a pursuit but they are called off after other LEOs take the driver into custody.
  • Richland County, S.C. — A driver flags down Corporal Norton about a “huge group” of high school kids drinking. The jovial corporal is perhaps too dismissive. “Because I’m guessing because you don’t like somebody, you’re tattling on somebody?…did you not get invited to the party? Is that what it is? That’s what it sounds like…y’all been watching too much TV, okay? Go down there and call SWAT? I mean really?…c’mon, man.”

Listen below to additional comments from the corporal followed by a studio panel discussion:

  • Richland County, S.C. — Corporal Norton, however, nonetheless goes on to check out the party: “Oh my lord…man, there’s a lot of people running…if you’re not doing stuff you ain’t supposed to, you won’t be running…” On Patrol: Live caption: “Midnight marathon in progress.” Abrams: “I take it back: The guy had a legitimate reason to say there’s a party. It’s not a party: It’s a massive gathering…I could at least see as Tom Rizzo was just saying a moment ago, if the people in that car didn’t get invited to that party, they got to be losers…how do you not get invited to that party…”
  • Triple Play #2 — “A Kentucky State Trooper’s traffic stop turns nearly deadly when a passenger opens fire — but quick-thinking good Samaritans rush to save his life. Heroes among us,” (Note: On Patrol: Live does not make the video embeddable; YouTube version from the PoliceActivity channel added below).
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of woman screaming.” Officer Michael Siena makes contact with and temporarily detains a man at a residence. The latter is initially argumentative and maintains that an argument was verbal in nature only. He subsequently gives his side of the story in more detail. On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating domestic incident.”

Abrams: “When a question is being asked, he answers with another question.” Detective DeAndrade: “Right; not complying at all.” Abrams: “It’s sort of like, ‘well do you want to tell me what happened?’ And then he follows up with a question back. And that’s got to be very frustrating for the officer who’s trying to assess what happened. The answer that is obvious is when you are detained, you are put in cuffs. It doesn’t mean you’re being arrested. It doesn’t mean you’ve committed a crime.” DeAndrade: “It’s for their safety and ours.” Officer Rengering: “Some people just don’t understand the difference between being detained and being arrested. There’s a clear delineation. We can people people in handcuffs for our safety, their safety, like you said, and continue the investigation.” Abrams: “We’ll see what happens there. And look, the guy may be right. It may be that there was no crime committed…” Rizzo: “And he’ll be released.” Abrams: “They’re gonna have to actually have proof that there was a physical altercation for there to be any kind of arrest here.”

Abrams: “As we talked about before, there may not have been a crime here. He’s saying that there was no violence, et cetera. We’ll see what they determine there after talking to both of the people there.”

Listen below as Officer Siena explains that police will document the incident but it won’t result in any law enforcement action at this time (“…anything domestic we take it very seriously, and this one, again, is right on the line of maybe we have probable cause, but not really, with the lack of information that’s being shared, or maybe just lack of things that happened…”:

Abrams: “So again, no arrests here. They’re gonna take some notes on it.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Triple Play #3 — A Livingston County, Mich., police pursuit.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Corporal Fowler assisted by Lieutenant Paul Yacobozzi makes a traffic stop in a store parking lot. Two female occupants. Car search.

Abrams update: “The driver with the black hair was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. The blonde passenger was released.”

  • Clayton County, Ga. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for assault suspect.” Deputy Brown and other units conduct a traffic stop at a gas station on a vehicle in connection with alleged aggravated assault charges. On Patrol: Live caption: “Felony stop.” Cops detain the driver and passenger. The driver, however, is not the registered owner of the vehicle who is subject to the agg-assault warrant (a separate but similar circumstance occurred during Friday night’s episode). The driver and passenger are released.

Listen below to Deputy Davis’ recap (“…that happens a lot of times. People let each other borrow each other’s car a lot. It’s very important that you know whose car you’re driving and what they have going on…”

Abrams: “Right car, wrong people. Happens all the time.”

  • Missing segment — Wichita, Kans.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Vossler makes friendly contact with a man who apparently is a former pro wrestler.
  • Clayton County, Ga. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of fight in progress.” Deputies Brown and Davis are on scene. They also make contact with at least one witness and also the host.

Listen below to Deputy Brown’s initial recap about a “huge altercation” at a party “that might have been exaggerated by the call-taker…”:

  • Baton Rouge, La. (pre-recorded segment) — According to Abrams, “Halloween came early when Corporal Scott Hinson investigated suspicious activity inside a graveyard.” The corporal ends up tasing and arresting a suspect at an historic cemetery.

Listen below to Cpl. Hinson’s incident recap:

  • Baton Rouge, La. — As the episode concludes Sgt. Lear and Officer Armstrong conduct a traffic stop at gunpoint after a pursuit of an alleged wrong-way driver who is Mirandized. Abrams: “…this guy was pulled over, was apparently swerving all over the road, didn’t pull over, and was explained to him recently why he got pulled over.” Sgt. Lear to the driver: “I’ll let you go if you answer one question: “Is Daffy Duck a goose or a chicken?” The driver’s answer is below.

In between On Patrol: Live heavy bleeping, listen below as Sgt. Lear explains the reasoning for the stop:
