On Patrol: Live Recap for June 20, 2026 (#OPL Episode 04-88)
- Fullerton, Calif. — On Patrol: Live caption: “In pursuit.” In the vide clips below, Officer Ashley Soto assists other officers on a felony car stop in connection with an alleged theft of LEGO items from one or more retail stores. Cops detain two males at gunpoint. On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating LEGO heist.” Officer Soto and colleagues, including K9 Goose, plus a police helicopter, then search on foot for a third suspect. The latter is subsequently located and detained. On Patrol: Live caption: “Three suspects in custody.” Officer Soto chats with one of the suspects about, e.g., skating, which seems to be a low-key, amicable way to encourage him to “do something better with your life.”
On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “LEGOs are a huge business these day.”
Later in the show, the studio panel, supposedly prompted by #OPNation, has an irrelevant and awkward discussion about whether the singular or plural form applies to LEGO (Larkin: “The plural for LEGO is LEGO…”):
According to Officer Soto, potential charges may include “assault with a deadly weapon on an officer, and then probably grand theft from Target, felony evading from police, and that’s just what I heard on the way to the call. I’m sure we’re gonna find other charges for this gentleman and for his friends in the car as well. I can say that I don’t think that they’re gonna be building any LEGOs tonight…” #OPLive host Abrams: “…each of those LEGO boxes are worth hundreds of dollars, and there were a lot of boxes inside that vehicle.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Jeff Milum and James Macklin and other officers converge on a home, search inside, and detain an individual fled earlier and who is allegedly wanted on warrants. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.”
Det. Macklin recap: “So we came out here to assist these crews on an individual who ran inside, who had felony warrants. They were able to take him into custody. It seems like he had a felony burglary warrant, at least one, and a couple of felony child abuse warrants. So he’ll be booked into the country jail.”
Listen below to On Patrol: Live studio analysts Tom Rizzo and Sean Larkin discuss the legal parameters for police to forcibly enter a home in certain appropriate circumstances:
- Baton Rouge, La. — Officer Jacob Jenkins attempts a traffic stop for a defective brake light. The passenger bails; the car drives off. Officer Jenkins briefly tries to catch up to the male who fled on foot. As he fled, the suspect tried to steal a bike from an older man, but “the chain popped off,” and the kept running. On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for suspect.” A helicopter is deployed. A K9 also named Goose participates in the search (Abrams: “So we got two K9 Gooses on the hunt”). Among other cops, Sergeant Jordon Lear is on scene: “So normally with the helicopter, a lot of these gentlemen, once they hear it, they’ll lay down in the backyard and just won’t move. So that gives us a little bit of a chance to find the person, even without the perimeter.” Both the car and the passenger are still at large at least while the show is airing.
- Toledo, Ohio — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of ex-boyfriend in home.” Officer Kaleb Torbet, with backup from other cops, makes contact with a female at the location. According to Officer Torbet, she had “barricaded herself in to make sure she’s safe, so we’re gonna make sure that she’s okay, and everything’s good to go.” Bleeping. The subject apparently had already left before cops arrived. Officer Torbet advises the irate complainant to go to court for a protective order.
Officer Torbet recap: “I never will understand why you call the police, and then when I’m trying to help you, you proceed to yell at me and call me every name in the book other than officer. So I understand her frustration to a point, but she called us. We got here within seven minutes, which is really good for a response time. He took off. He’s around in the area; we’re gonna see if we can find him. I tried to give her the information on how to get a protection order in Lucas County to make sure that it pulls up in our system immediately. But all parole authority doesn’t really talk very well, and they’re their own entity. So we’re gonna try our best to see if we can find him. But she can…try to do whatever she wants to do, just as long as it’s within the law. So we’re go see if we can find him.”
Listen below as On Patrol: Live studio analysts Tom Rizzo and Sean Larkin react to this incident:
On Patrol: Live Hour 2
- Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Fleeing domestic assault suspect.” In what turns to be a complicated situation, Sergeant Bryce Hughes and other deputies respond to a residence where a man who #OPLive host Dan Abrams indicates is the suspect’s brother allows them to search what is apparently the suspect’s mother’s house. The suspect had already left the location on foot, however. Sgt. Hughes makes contact on scene with at least one of the two victims. K9 and drone resources deployed for the search. On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for domestic assault suspect.” The suspect is still at large as the search continues.
Listen below to Sgt. Hughes’ preliminary recap after deputies first arrive on scene:
Sgt. Hughes follow up: “So a little bit of updated information here. They’re saying that both of his children’s mothers are on scene. They were both apparently assaulted by him. So it’s gonna be two counts of domestic violence in the second degree. He shares children with both of them, and there was children present when the domestic violence occurred.”
Sgt. Hughes further update: “New information that they have told us now that they’re pissed off at each other…they’re now saying that she kicked open the front door, which is what started the altercation between the child’s father and the initial victim…they want to press charges now for a door incident that we didn’t know about beforehand, even though we’ve been here this entire time, and they knew why we were here. So we’re just gonna do a supplemental to the original case. I’m not seeing any damage consistent with it, but we’re gonna wrap everything up together and try to put all the pieces together.”
Dan Abrams: “It’ll be a tough Father’s Day in that house.” Sean Larkin: “There’s a lot going on in there.”
- Clayton County, Ga. — Deputy Desmond Whitson and other units track a vehicle purportedly connected to alleged child molestation charges. Deputies Devon Brown and William Owenby locate the car at a fast-food restaurant with two occupants. Deputy Whitson: “So now we have two detained. We have the one that we’re looking for. Also, the second one we’re trying to get identified. They were just standing by the vehicle…” Abrams: “So they got the main person they were looking for, which is good.”
- Triple Play #2 — a dangerous, high-speed Arkansas state police pursuit in which the driver fled with four young kids in the car. The driver faces “a multitude of charges including felony fleeing and four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.”
- Tempe, Ariz. — a convenience store employee flags down Officers Nelson Chicas-Ramos and Chris Heckel and asks them to trespass some alleged loiterers/shoplifters who hang out at the location from time to time. Employee: “…they don’t want people to be coming her to be chilling no more. This is not the hangout place….”
Listen below to Officer Chicas-Ramos’ recap:
Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear initiates a traffic stop on a large SUV; Corporal Wendy George is on scene as backup.
- Clayton County, Ga. (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, a suspect vehicle catches on fire in the culmination of a pursuit. In the process of subduing a subject, Deputy Louis Rinaldo accidentally tases Lieutenant Jonathan Carey: “Sorry I tased you again.” Additional cops and the fire department respond to the scene. The driver faces numerous charges. Lieutenant Joseph Toombs: “He’s cooked; no pun intended.”
Listen below to how Sean Larkin and Tom Rizzo respond when Dan Abrams asks them if they’ve ever been accidentally tased:
- Clayton County, Ga. — Sergeant Welkind Saint-Jean responds to a car accident where a vehicle purportedly slid under a tractor-trailer resulting in serious front-end damage.
- Richland County, S.C. — Sgt. Hughes and other deputies respond to a purported burglary in progress at a residence that instead turns out to be a spousal disagreement. Sgt. Hughes recap: “So we get things like this frequently which can be really frustrating because we get a call about a burglary in progress. We think that someone is potentially in danger, that their property’s in danger, that a stranger is in their home, and it’s a marital dispute. So he’s mad because he doesn’t want his ex here. They’re still legally married in the state of South Carolina. She still has access. It’s marital property, something that they have to divvy up in court through the divorce process. He obviously did not say that in his 911 call. He said that there was no one that should be at the house. And he said that he didn’t know who it was. They took the doorbell off, and we’re entering the home. So it’s so frustrating. It’s a waste of resources, and now we have to kind of…deal with marital ex drama that is really not a law enforcement issue.”
On Patrol: Live Hour 3
- Tempe, Ariz. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating Instagram threats.” Officers Chicas-Ramos and Heckel make contact with the complainant at her home. Officer Heckel recap: “So right now, kind of what we’ve been getting is an ex-boyfriend kind of showed up, that our victim here met a couple of years ago, threatened to shoot her now-current boyfriend. She’s telling us that he’s known to carry weapons, and he’s a drug dealer. They saw a suspicious vehicle sitting out front…that vehicle has now left. It was now southbound…we have officers looking through the area for them currently. But that’s kind of where we’re at.”
- Fullerton, Calif. — Officer Soto on a traffic stop. Four occupants. She tells them to pour out their beer cans. Officer Soto to the cute puppy: “Pugsy: You need to get these men in check; can’t let them drink in public.”
- Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear conducts a good-natured traffic stop for no plate and potential reckless driving: “You know, you almost just died?” The driver apparently ends up being released with a warning. In the context of potentially interfering with her vision behind the wheel, Sgt. Lear jokes that “them eyelashes on your eyes look bad. Some things are too big for your face…” On Patrol: Live caption: “Lashing out.”
- Dorchester County, S.C. — Sergeant Adam Barnhill and Corporal Barry Lowe respond to a domestic incident and make contact with a loquacious woman on scene. Cpl. Lowe also speak by phone with a male, possibly the boyfriend, and seems to convince him to return: “If you bring the vehicle back, we’re all good.” The situation appears to be resolved when the male returns to a residence with the car. The female gathers some belongings and drives away in the vehicle. The deputies also appear to suggest that she request a police escort if she needs to come back for for any more of her items.
Dan Abrams: “She’s not quite saying her car was stolen, right? She’s saying that, what, he was supposed to pick her up in his car?…the interesting thing is that, of course, I don’t know if the officer understood either, because he asked for the friend, ‘hang on a second. Can you explain to me what she’s saying’?”
Cpl. Lowe to the man on the phone: “…right now, what you’re doing, it’s called a breach of trust. You had permission to drive it. Now you don’t, and she wants the vehicle back…”
Sgt. Barnhill summary: “The boyfriend ended up bringing back the vehicle, so that’s a good thing. So now she’s gonna pack her things and get out of here, and hopefully that’ll be the end of this for tonight.”
- Toledo, Ohio — Officer Torbet is conducting a routine traffic stop on a pickup truck when he is re-dispatched to a robbery call (although it might have been someone shoplifting alcohol). He pulls into a gas station; the suspect had already fled. A witness provides a description of the suspect. Several cops are already on scene.
Officer Torbet commentary: “So luckily it’s not robbery…we have a lot of problems with people stealing out of these areas because they think that everybody’s insured, it’s not a big problem. Well, shoplifting is a problem. It’s why we don’t have Rite Aid anymore. That’s also why Dollar Generals are closing everywhere. That’s why all of our convenience stores are closing because people are stealing all this stuff. So we’re gonna just check the area, see if we can locate him. And if we do, we’re gonna stop him and arrest him.”
- Henry County, Va. — Deputy Logan Bowman conducts a traffic stop for a taped-up tag: “It looks like it’s just wrapped in like Saran Wrap.” The driver says his tag came off in a car wash and admits that his license is “definitely suspended.” Deputy Bowman: “I appreciate the honesty…” Warning apparently issued.
- Tempe, Ariz. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of shoplifting.” In the above video clip, Officers Chicas-Ramos and Heckler detains a woman at a convenience store. Bleeping.
- Richland County, S.C. — In the video clip below, Deputy Xavier Gonzalez initiates a motorcycle stop.
- Baton Rouge, La. — As the episode concludes, Sgt. Lear and Officer Jenkins are on scene in the video clip above with a potentially abandoned car.
