On Patrol: Live Recap for June 19, 2026 (#OPL Episode 04-87)
🚨 Happy Friday #OPNation! Here is the lineup for this evening.
Fullerton, Calif. — In the video clip below, large group of cops, including Officers Dillan Caines and Ricky Akles, respond to a residence on a report of an alleged fight between brothers during which weapons may have allegedly been involved. They detain two males and one female on scene and clear the house.
On Patrol is LIVE! There’s a report of a dispute between BROTHERS in Fullerton, CA. Something about a taser, a weapon, pepper spray, and more than we can fit in this caption. Tune in to hear the full story. #OPLive#OPNation
Dan Abrams update: “Both the brothers were arrested on assault charges, but the woman, the girlfriend there, she was not charged.”
Toledo, Ohio — Officers Eric Draper and Dallas Kwapich, among other cops, investigate an alleged fight at a residence. The investigation into one or more fights is apparently inclusive at this point; police will file a report.
Baton Rouge, La. — Chief TJ Morse, with several officers including Corporal Anthony Nguyen providing backup, initiates a traffic stop — the driver was alleged going about 40 mph in a 25-mph zone and “hugging the center lane.” The passenger owns the car. Abrams update: Both occupants are subsequently released. “The update wasn’t supposed to be about the vinyl…”
Chief Morse preliminary recap: “We just looking into this a little bit further because he’s been arrested a couple of times for a theft of a motor vehicle and altering VIN numbers on cars. That’s what’s on his criminal history, so just checking out the car a little bit more, make sure we ain’t got nothing like that.”
#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “It would be an odd car to be messing with [unintelligible] like changing the VIN number.” Larkin: “Even the license plate cover. It’s not like you’re not gonna be able to know what car you were looking for…” #OPLive studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “The wrap on it must just give it away…”
Green County, Mo. (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, deputies, including SWAT, respond to a possible domestic-related incident where a man has allegedly barricaded himself in a residence with a small child. Drone deployed. With information from the roommate who provided details about the layout, police enter the home and take the subject into custody.
A family dispute erupts into a tense standoff in Greene County, MO when a flight-risk husband allegedly fires at his wife and barricades himself inside with a 3-year-old child.
Tempe, Ariz. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Possible squatting situation.” Officers Austin Johnson and Shante Adkins respond to a location where an Airbnb renter allegedly won’t leave the house after his reservation was supposedly cancelled. Police on scene make contact with an employee of the owner as well as the Airbnb renter, plus speaking with the owner directly by phone. Initially it appears to be civil matter equivalent to a landlord-tenant dispute (not a police matter) that requires a court-ordered eviction, although a short-term rental might be analogous to staying at a hotel or motel. #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “This is primarily a civil issue, but the one thing that sounded on the border of criminal was that the woman, I guess, was the employee got concerned for her safety, they were saying, right?…and here…she was saying ‘I’ve given him until tomorrow,’ so it’s not even, like, there’s like this imminent…” #OPLive studio analyst Sean Larkin: “…when I first hear Airbnb, I thought, oh, the guy was there for a night…but he’s getting mail there. He’s on a month-to-month payment thing. So it’s almost like a, just a, standard rental of a property, makes it even more difficult” [to get him out].
#OPLive If you're an AirBnb owner,don't ever offer more than a 28 day stay,most places are 30 days or more to pull the crap he is right now
— Brian Francis Nearey (@BrianFr11473) June 20, 2026
I’m sure no one had this on their bingo card. “Air bnb renter won’t leave”#oplive
Officer Johnson update: “After a conversation between our sergeant and the legal advisor, the situation is not gonna fall under landlord-tenant law, due to the fact this is a short-term rental. It’s gonna be treated more so like a hotel rental. So if they violate their contract, then they’re gonna get kicked out, right? So we are gonna standby for a reasonable amount of time until the subject is able to remove most of his belongings out of this residence. Now, dictating that this was a full residence full of items, he understood, he’s gonna make some phone calls, try to get some people over here to help him out, so that that’s not gonna be a prolonged period of time. But due to the fact that this guy’s furniture, he’s got all his clothing, we’re gonna have to be out here for a little bit to ensure that the peace is kept between the two parties. My partner is over there explaining to the owner’s assistant what’s going on, so that they’re in full understanding that this gonna be a civil standby. This is a civil matter, and we’re just here to keep the peace while he pulls his stuff out.”
BOLO segment — An individual wanted for alleged felony fleeing in Arkansas:
🚨 BOLO: Former Hazen officer Dillion Cook, now an Arkansas State Trooper, pursued a driver who fled a traffic stop, crashed after a PIT, and disappeared into the fields.

Clayton County, Ga. — Deputy Desmond Whitson and Lieutenant Jonathan Carey make a motorcycle stop on a so-called “frequent flyer” possibly for a license plate that’s partially obscured (or for some equivalent or other reason). Deputy Whitson to the driver: “I know you got problems….we’ve talked about this 20 times already.” Deputy Devon Brown is also on scene. Bike possibly towed. Sean Larkin: “…he knows the whole shift basically, everybody on duty.”
Dude, you can secure that plate with zip ties or something. After the first stop, you should have figured it out or stop riding the motorcycle #OPlive#OPLive#OPNation#OPLiveNation
This guy was pulled over 7 times already?! He has crashed it twice. He shouldn’t even have a motorcycle license at this point. Where’s the DMV on this?! #OPLive#OnPatrolLive@ReelzChannel@OfficialOPLive
Clayton County, Ga. — On Patrol: Live caption: “In pursuit.” Deputies, including Sergeant Welkind Saint-Jean, chase a different motorcycle that allegedly fled from Lt. Carey after an attempted traffic stop. According to Abrams, “110 miles an hour.” Sgt. Saint Jean: “He’s reckless…very reckless.” The motorcycle wrecks out in the pursuit, and the operator is detained. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.” Bleeping. Lt. Carey: “…we’ll see why he’s running. Everybody runs for a reason, so we’ll see.”
Clayton officers pursue a motorcycle rider whose exit strategy needed some work. 😬🏍️
Dorchester County, Va. — Corporal Barry Lowe with backup from Sergeant Adam Barnhill conduct a traffic stop for a non-functioning brake light. Potential seat belt violation. Three occupants. Alleged weed odor. According to Cpl. Lowe, a small amount of weed is allegedly in the center console which the officers said (per Abrams) is “not gonna be a big deal if that’s all they find.” Probable cause car search. The occupants, who are headed to a movie theater to watch Toy Story 5 pour out some open containers and are released with no charges. On Patrol: Live caption: “Adios Tequila.” The weed is confiscated. With regard to the condoms found, Abrams says “there’s nothing illegal about that.”
#OPLive Toy Story 5 sounds great,but I want to eventually see "Rocky 18" where Sly fights for Heavyweight nursing home champ 🤣 (Kidding,I love Rocky)
— Brian Francis Nearey (@BrianFr11473) June 20, 2026
Cpl. Lowe recap: “Driver’s been nothing but cool, calm, and collective. After we found the liquor itself, he kind of calmed down a lot. So we’re probably gonna cut him a break…so cut him with a warning and get them out of here…”
#OPLive studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “I’m not sure that you got to drink tequila to go see [Toy Story] though.” #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “It could make it more interesting that cartoon characters come to life a little bit more…” Rizzo: “You drink enough of it, you go to infinity and beyond.”
Legal marijuana is destroying our youth. No wonder CHYna! Is aiming to becoming the world leader. By the means of education. India is trailing right behind… By a long shot but they're playing the waiting game.#OPLive#OPLiveNation
Greene County, Mo. — Deputy Travis Skinner, with backup from other cops, spots a man who allegedly fled from another police department about six months ago. Traffic stop. The subsequently apologetic subject, who allegedly has a warrant, is detained and then arrested after a brief foot pursuit. Bleeping. On Patrol: Live captions: “Disguise disregarded,” “Suspect in custody.” Abrams: “He seemed to be in a disguise when they spotted him, and now he is in the back seat of the vehicle there…I don’t know that the apology is gonna make much of a difference, but he’s been forgiven. That doesn’t mean he’s not still going to jail.”
Unfortunately an officers forgiveness is not a court of law… but that was nice of him to grant the forgiveness anyways #OPNation#OPLaw
The most shocking thing about the 1st #TriplePlay of the weekend was that the dude was only 32 years old. Seeing that mug shot, I'd have guessed he was in his 50s.#OPLive
Tempe, Ariz. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating shoplifting.” Officer Johnson initiates a traffic stop on an alleged suspect vehicle in connection with a possible theft from Walmart. Two occupants. The motorist who says he’s “traveling” (which is a mantra often associated with sovereign citizen ideology) allegedly has a suspended license. Store surveillance footage reviewed. Both occupants end up getting arrested. The car is impounded.
Once he said traveler all the stupidity made sense.
Ofc Johnson is handling this interaction incredibly well; calm, focused, and professional. I like how he gets both individuals out of the car and detains them since he’s the only officer on scene.#OPLive#OnPatrolLive#OPNationpic.twitter.com/GqAqJWV7AC

Toledo, Ohio — Offices Draper, Kwapich, and other cops respond to a shots-fired call and encounter a man down on the ground.

Richland County, S.C. — Corporal Justin Jeffcoat responds to a residential alarm. He makes friendly contact with the homeowner; it turns to be an accidental alarm activation, and everything is okay on scene. Cpl. Jeffcoat: “The gentleman, I guess, put the wrong passcode in; no big deal. Nice guy.”
Colton, Calif. — Officer Jay Gomez and a colleague on a traffic stop. Two occupants. The driver is initially reluctant to exit the car. Abrams: “This guy made sure not to make it easy.” Bleeping. K9 sniff; K9 alert. A small amount of weed is allegedly found in the car. The driver is released. The passenger is detained. Officer Gomez: “So right now, the passenger in the vehicle had two outstanding warrants, no-bail warrants. The judge, of course, really wants to see him, so we got him in custody.”
Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Jeff Milum and James Macklin backup other cops who are conducting a traffic stop. Four vehicle occupants. Bleeping. K9 alert; no contraband found. All occupants are released. Abrams: “So it looks like they’ll be going on their way.”
Greene County, Mo. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for felony warrant suspect.” After a license plate reader flags the alleged suspect vehicle which is unoccupied, Deputy Travis Skinner and at least one other unit search a strip mall for the subject. Cops intend to set up nearby to see if the suspect returns to the vehicle.
Triple Play #2 — Sean Larkin introduces the segment by mentioning that “a Florida man attempted to get out of a ticket by using a little ‘reverse’ psychology.” Flagler County, Fla., deputies make a traffic stop on a backwards driver who is “charged with driving while under suspension, habitual.”
#OPLive This dude is seriously justifying driving up the street BACKWARDS??? 🙄🤣
