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

On Patrol: Live Season 4: After a two-week hiatus, On Patrol: Live returns with all-new, live episodes this weekend.

An On Patrol: Live recap, featuring NYC studio host/executive producer Dan Abrams’ puns, analysis, and witty/sarcastic banter with co-anchor Curtis Wilson (a Richland County, S.C., deputy sheriff), and analyst Captain Tom Rizzo (Howell Township, N.J., PD), along with the often-provocative or playful social media reaction, follows.

For those viewers new to the show, On Patrol Live on the Reelz channel is more or less a reboot or rebrand of Live PD.

On Patrol: Live Tonight

On Patrol: Live Departments: Wheeling, W.Va., PD debuts on On Patrol: Live this weekend, while neither Hazen, Ark., PD nor Moore, Okla., PD, are in the lineup. Moore has left the show, at least for now.

An individual fleeing police from a Colorado spa and a “haunted house” in Wheeling, W.Va., drew the most attention from #OPNation in this new On Patrol: Live episode. For this On Patrol: Live episode guide, see below for details on all 27 law enforcement incidents across eight On Patrol: Live scheduled police departments. And check back for updates. This recap also includes video of the #OPL CrimeCon panel discussion featuring the studio trio.

OPL stats 09_12_25
Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officers Tyler Marzarago and Riley Duncan, along with paramedics, respond to a two-car accident. [“They’re just filming a documentary.”] Officer Marzarago: “So essentially, the gentleman in this SUV, he was traveling straight down this road, and the other vehicle turned left, failing to yield in front of him, causing a car accident. He’s refusing medical. He’s okay. The other party in the crash is requesting to be seen by medical, so we’ll go ahead and see whether or not she gets transported.”
  • Wheeling, W.Va. — Corporal Dean Redinger and other units respond to a possible break-in at an abandoned, condemned home that is full of trash. They enter the location; no intruders found at the moment. “There are fresh ‘deposits’ in the toilet.”

On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “Yikes. Talking about fresh deposits. Doesn’t look anything like a bank.”

Abrams: “It seems to be maybe the house is abandoned, but then they found drug paraphernalia and other indications that there had been people there recently.” Corporal Redinger: “So this is a condemned structure….officers have searched it in the past, and people keep going in and staying in there. So we searched it again. It looks like they’re have been making entry trough a window and unlocking the door. There’s also beds and bedding and clothing in here that wasn’t in here prior. So just another one we’re gonna have to keep our eye on.”

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Sergeant James Maher and Detective Ray Hurst provide backup on a traffic stop and question four young persons all of whom are subsequently released with no charges.
  • Lee County, Fla. — Deputy Alexander Chami and other units search a wooded area for an alleged domestic assault suspect. They locate and detain a suspect. Abrams: “It seems they got him, or it seems the K9 got him.”
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. (pre-recorded segment) — Officer Roger Carlin, Sgt. Maher, and other units in a pursuit. Officer Carlin recap: “We observed this car leaving a high narcotics area. As it went to leave, it completely rolled a sidewalk into the road, so I tried to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle immediately fled. One officer tried to throw stop sticks, and the driver actually swerved at the officer, so we initiated pursuit at that point. Eventually ended up coming to a final stop here…where they hit a mailbox. All four were detained, but two eventually ended up being arrested: The driver for aggravated fleeing, and then the rear passenger is gonna go for tampering with evidence. As they were fleeing, they threw narcotics outside the vehicle that K9 seen. So we’re gonna go back to that area — officers already picked that up — and we’re gonna recover that and test everything that’s in there, and we’ll get the charge from that also.”
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Duncan and colleagues responds to a neighbor dispute. A very eloquent young lady explains to the the cops what allegedly happened on behalf of her parents owing to an apparent language barrier.
  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputy Trevor Guinn responds to a home alarm. He makes contact with the homeowner. It turns out that the alarm was accidentally triggered, and everything on scene is okay.
  • Christian County, Mo. — With backup from Sheriff Brad Cole, Deputy Guinn makes a traffic stop for alleged speeding on a car that’s covered with stickers. On Patrol: Live captions: “Sticky situation,” “Still in sticker shock.” After a consensual car search, the very cooperative driver is released with a warning along with a Christian County sticker to add to the collection. The driver mentions that it took about four months to cover the car with stickers. Abrams: “…here’s a tip. Don’t put stickers all over your car. That maybe makes its more likely…” On Patrol: Live co-host Curtis Wilson (in reference to a “jet fuel only” sticker): “And don’t use jet fuel.” Abrams: “…I have to say my four year old would have loved to have joined him in putting on the stickers on the car.”
  • BOLO segment — San Jose, Calif., smash-and-grabbing jewel thieves.
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Corporal Scott Hinson and Officer Anthony Nguyen respond to a report of a prowler and make contact with the complainant, an older lady. Listen to Cpl. Hinson’s summary:

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Triple Play #1 — An Idaho Springs, Colo., pursuit. “The first Triple Play of the weekend takes us to Colorado, where a suspect was caught mid–’spa treatment’ covering himself in mud during the bust. An arrest unlike anything we’ve seen before—and one OP Nation won’t forget.” [“I was scared, bro.”] Note: On Patrol: Live has made the video not embeddable.

Abrams: “The good news is that when he arrived [in jail], his skin was so soft. The mud had actually had some time to really seep into his pours.” Rizzo: “If you’re gonna go to jail, you want to be fully exfoliated.”

  • Richland County, S.C. — Master Deputy Sloan Simpson responds to a possible burglary in progress at a house, but he is subsequently called off.
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Detective Noah Galbreath and other units converge on a home in connection with an alleged disturbance between roommates and detain several persons there. One subject there says he allegedly fired a shot into the ceiling. The somewhat confusing situation prompts three on-scene updates, two from Det. Galbreath and one from Det. Ashlyn Cooper, respectively, in the audio clips embedded below. Arrests made as explained in the third update; the investigation by detectives is ongoing.
  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputy Guinn and colleagues make a pedestrian stop on the highway for a man allegedly walking on the highway who claims he’s thinking of walking to Montana. Deputy Guinn: “…It’s a busy highway. And so we get a lot of calls about people walking. It’s dangerous. After we do a license check on him, it looks like he’s got a statewide warrant out of Taney County…we’re confirming that to make sure it’s confirmed — he’ll be going to jail tonight. Said he was headed to Montana. That’s a little ways away, a little bit of a walk, and doesn’t look like he’s going to Montana yet, so we’ll just confirm that…”

Listen to Deputy Guinn’s brief summary:

  • Richland County, S.C. — Lieutenant Chris Blanding and another unit make a traffic stop.
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Cpl. Hinson and another unit initiate a traffic stop outside an abandoned house.
  • Clayton County, Ga. — Lieutenant Joseph Toombs, Lieutenant Christian Stearley, and Sergeant Iesha Johnson, and other cops detain a male and female outside a gas station/convenience store. Lt. Toombs: “Y’all might as well come on back on over here. If you try to run, you’re gonna have some pain put on your ass tonight. Come back over here.” Drug paraphernalia allegedly found.

Listen to some of Lt. Toombs’ interaction with the male:

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Duncan initiates a traffic stop on a motorcycle for no plate. The cooperative driver apparently has a temporary tag and says he just bought the bike. Abrams: “It’s just nice to see a motorcycle with no plate actually pull over.”
  • Triple Play #2 — “Hogzilla,” a.k.a. “Pigfoot,” in Lee County, Fla.
  • Lee County, Fla. (pre-recorded segment) — Deputy Christian Greene responds to an alleged verbal or physical fight between two friends in a bar or in a parking lot outside “involving a tattoo and an unpaid debt” and makes contact with the parties. As Deputy Greene explains below, no charges as of now. The complainant can file a report on a citizens complaint form with authorities for possible follow-up.

Abrams: “Unlike friendships, of course, tattoos are permanent. Although, these days, they’re not as permanent as they use to be. It’s easier to do laser these days…”

  • Richland County, S.C. — Lieutenant Blanding conducts a traffic stop for allegedly no rear lights on a rental car. Alleged odor of marijuana. Lt. Blanding: “It’s a rental, so he’s not used to the light control, so he’ll be on his way if there’s nothing in here.” The cooperative driver is released with a warning after a quick car search. Lt. Blanding reminds the driver that weed is still illegal in South Carolina. “Stay away from it because it’s gonna get you hemmed up, all right?” He also encourages the driver to resolve a traffic warrant allegedly pending from Georgia. “You might want to get that taken care of rather sooner than later, man.”
  • Lee County, Fla. — Deputy Octavious Whitus administers field sobriety testing on a driver [“What did I do?”] and then detains the motorist on suspicion of alleged DUI.

Listen to Deputy Whitus’ recap after which Abrams asserts that “so looks like that will be a DUI, and he’ll have his chance to defend himself when the time comes”:

  • Wheeling, W.Va. — Officer Redinger tries to mediate a neighbor dispute and suggests to one of the parties that she not engage with the other.
  • Clayton County, Ga. (pre-recorded segment) — Lieutenant Brandon Warren and Deputy Mondre Rambo are among the cops assisting in a high-speed pursuit. The driver, who has an unrelated-to-the-chase, ghastly infection on his arm, is detained after a PIT maneuver. Paramedics summoned to the scene and transport the man to the hospital. Drug paraphernalia allegedly found in the vehicle.

Listen to Lt. Warren and Deputy Rambo recap the incident:

  • Denver, Colo. — Watch the On Patrol: Live panel discussion at CrimeCon 2025, which includes On Patrol: Live ducks:
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Corporal Hinson and Officer Nguyen respond to a burglary-in- progress call that allegedly may have transitioned to be an OD incident. Listen to Cpl. Hinson’s brief explanation:
  • Richland County, S.C. — Lt. Blanding and other unitsassists a neighboring agency in a vehicle pursuit with a successful stop-sticks hit. Lt. Blanding: “I was able to get sticks on him, so shouldn’t be chasing too much longer.” The suspect flees from the car on foot and is detained by other deputies after a brief search. Lt. Blanding to the subject: “You came to the worst place in all of South Carolina, because you get caught.”

Listen to Deputy Simpson’s incident summary:

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Detective Galbreath and colleagues respond to a golf-cart-vs.-tree accident. Paramedics respond to the scene for transport to the hospital to treat a laceration to the neck. The driver apparently says she lost control of the steering wheel because her hands were a little wet as Det. Galbreath explains in the audio clip below:
