- Berkeley County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of burglary.” Deputy Bradly Brown and other units respond. The call is apparently a misunderstanding, but a male on scene has a possible warrant from a neighboring agency. Deputy Brown preliminary recap: “Everything’s good, except he has a warrant…he went to the wrong house, it sounds like. Got the cars mixed up or something…this is his daughter’s house right here; just unfortunate for him he has a warrant. So once they confirm that, we’ll go from there.” On Patrol: Live caption: “Arrested on outstanding warrant.” Abrams: “It is always unfortunate for you when you have a warrant and the police are around.”
- Richland County, S.C. — Master Deputy Charlotte Moes initiates a friendly traffic stop for speeding and subsequently releases the driver with a warning. Deputy Moes recap: “She’s trying to make her money with Instacart. She’s a working mom; kind of a soft heart for those. Those nails…are, like, half a foot long…” Abrams: “Can be tough having those long appendages…” Deputy Moes advises the driver to pay an alleged pending Georgia ticket: “Georgia is not to be played with. They will put out a warrant for you if you don’t pay their stuff.”

On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating shooting.” Cops review some security camera footage.
Sean Larkin: “It sounds like the shooting took place elsewhere…unknown obviously why he crashed into this Cadillac parked out there. Took down the light pole. He fled on foot, and it kind of sounded like over the radio that they just grabbed him.” Cpl. Smith: “There was a crash and a shooting all at the same time. I don’t know if the guy shot first and then got ran over…but we got one guy shot, one guy unconscious, on the ground, for being hit by a car.”
On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “Curtis, we were just talking about two crime scenes here, right?” #OPLive studio analyst Curtis Wilson: “Yeah; you got to find out exactly where this initiated at and ended up over there at this location here…what they’re gonna do is have investigators get involved. They’re gonna do the knock and talks. You’ve seen the video. They’re gonna have to establish this and also try to find out what the relationship is between these individuals as well.”
- Greene County, Mo. — In the video clip below, Deputy Travis Skinner and other units respond to a neighbor dispute and detain a male after a preliminary investigation on scene. Abrams: “The power of video evidence, right?”

- Richland County, S.C. — Deputy Moes on a traffic stop for an abandoned vehicle in the middle of the road. #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “As they say, you can’t park there.”
- Henry County, Va. — At the same motel, Deputy Mason briefly checks a couple of other rooms on a report of some people supposedly arguing. “Apparently, no one’s arguing now, so we’re gonna leave. Hopefully, this is the last time we have to come back tonight. Probably not…”

- Richland County, S.C. — Deputy Moes and other units investigate on a report of shots fired. Deputy Moes preliminary recap: “…spoke with two individuals. They said they didn’t hear anything. We have a black Mustang. Is that a plunger on the back? I’m very confused…oh my gosh…as of right now, nobody’s saying anything on what’s going on, so we’ll continue to canvas the area to see if we can figure out any more information and go from there, and see if anybody actually is shooting. There’s plenty of people out here at the Days Inn, highly doubt they’re gonna talk, but we can try.”
Larkin: “I’m not gonna take credit for this myself, but, in my ear, I heard somebody say ‘he was getting crappy reception, so maybe it’s like an antenna.'”
- Triple Play #2 — a Stone County, Mo., police pursuit. Abrams: “Over the years, we’ve seen suspects try just about everything to avoid capture, but this escape… could be a first.”
On Patrol: Live Hour 3
- Baton Rouge, La. — Officer Coleman and a colleague on a traffic stop.
- Dorchester County, S.C. — Sgt. Mood and other deputies, with a K9, converge on a residence in an attempt to serve a warrant. On Patrol: Live caption: “Serving warrant for aggravated assault.” The subject does not appear to be there or at least he is not answering the door.
Listen below to Sgt. Mood provide background on what led to the warrant:
#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “So we were talking about the time of night on this.” #OPLive studio analyst Sean Larkin: “Yeah; for a felony arrest warrant, you can serve it any time, day or night, whereas a misdemeanor or a search warrant, it’s typically between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. unless a judge gives you special permission to serve it outside of those hours.” Abrams: “So they can serve this one later.”
- Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Vehicle assist.” Deputy Moes pushes a car that ran out of gas into a parking lot.
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputy Brown on a traffic stop. After Deputy Brown makes contact, the car appears to drive off slowly, then stops. Abrams: “…this guy was pulled over and then started rolling his car. Looked like he was gonna try and drive way. Didn’t — but obviously cause for concern there.” The driver is detained at gunpoint. Car search. Deputy Brown preliminary recap: “So while trying to get him to give his ID and all that, he became super nervous. When I asked him just go ahead and step out of the car…odor of marijuana. He rolled the window up, refused to put it in park, and tried to go through the yard a little bit. Put him at gunpoint just because he’s already stated he had a firearm inside the car. With him not listening and rolling up the window, it was just best to go ahead and take him out…we’re gonna search the car…it doesn’t seem like he should be this nervous over a little blunt of weed, but we’ll find out.”
- Baton Rouge, La. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of home invasion.” The suspects fled about 30 seconds before Sgt. Lear and other cops arrive on scene. They search the area on foot and by car for the suspects. Suspect vehicle identified. During the search, it seems that Sgt. Lear coincidentally encounters someone that “is suing me for something I didn’t do…” He also mentions that “she don’t like me…”
Listen below to Sean Larkin in the studio discuss the search:
- Tempe, Ariz. — Officer Nick Prentice issues a friendly warning to a motorist who is allegedly trespassing on a parking garage roof. Officer Prentice: “…the security for this place, they block off the fourth floor and up; they don’t want people hanging out up here…”
- Tempe, Ariz. — In the video clip below, Officer Shante Adkins responds to a home alarm. The location appears to be vacant.
- Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of domestic violence.” In the video clips above and below, Deputy Moes and other units respond to the scene and detain a male there. Investigation ongoing. Deputy Moes provides a preliminary recap:
- Baton Rouge, La. — As the episode concludes, Sgt. Lear is called off the previous call and heads to the scene on a report of an officer in distress during a foot pursuit.
