On Patrol: Live Season 4, All-New Episode, Tonight

On Patrol: Live new tonight: An On Patrol: Live recap of the televised police ride-alongs, plus commentary/analysis from guest studio host Matt Iseman (filling in for host/executive producer Dan Abrams) and the anchor desk panelists, follows below.

Tonight’s OPL studio analysts are Richland County Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson and Sean “Sticks” Larkin (a retired Tulsa, Okla., PD sergeant). This recap also includes the often-provocative or playful social media reaction to the incidents in the field.

As already announced on social media, Captain Tom Rizzo (Howell Township, N.J., PD) is dealing with a serious heath challenge in his family (Ewing scarcoma) and probably will understandably be away from the show for some period of time while his daughter receives medical treatment for cancer. #OPNation wishes the Tom Rizzo family all the best.

Matt Iseman: “Our prayers are with Tom and his family.”

As #OPNation (i.e., the cohort consisting of the show’s avid followers) is well aware, and for those viewers and/or social media users new to the program, On Patrol Live on Reelz is more or less a reboot or rebrand of Live PD.

Note: The blog did not cover the March 20-21 On Patrol: Live episodes (#OPL 04-63/64) due to travel. For those episodes, Curtis Wilson and Hazen, Ark., Police Chief Bradley Taylor joined host Dan Abrams in the Jersey City, N.J., studios to provide analysis. Those episodes also saw the return of the Volusia County, Fla., Sheriff’s Office to the OPL rotation.

Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Volusia County, Fla. — Deputy Kevin Barry pulls over a car allegedly for no tag light. The driver appears irate: “…I’m sick of this sh*t…” Bleeping. On Patrol Live caption: “Food transport tantrum.” The car’s window tint may also be an issue. The driver is released with a warning.

Listen below as Deputy Barry comments on this stop:

Guest On Patrol: Live host Matt Iseman: “…You have somebody giving some spirited community feedback…I thought [Deputy Barry] handled that beautifully.” Sean Larkin: “[Deputy Barry] did a fantastic job…”

  • Lee County, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating shots fired.” Deputy Ryan Lineberger, plus other units, responds to the scene outside a bar. He gathers info from witnesses and also reviews security footage. It appears that about six shots were fired. Investigation ongoing.

Iseman: “It looks like Matthew McConaughey getting in character for a role there…”

Listen below to Deputy Lineberger’s preliminary assessment of this incident followed by OPL studio commentary about same plus some reaction to the Volusia County traffic stop that opened the show:

Listen below to some additional OPL studio commentary:

Deputy Lineberger’s preliminary recap: “So we had responded to a report of a shooting. Nobody was shot, thankfully. We had a male subject that got into a verbal altercation with another party in the parking lot. He pulled a firearm from his rear waistband and discharged approximately six rounds into the parking lot. Nobody was hit, thankfully…we don’t have any injuries from it, but it looks like, right now, we’ve identified this person, and they are a convicted felon. So right now, [another deputy is] typing up the information to put a warrant out for the convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and then the reckless discharge aspect. We don’t have any victims right now as to an aggravated assault, but we’re still working on the fine details of the case. After he had shot into the concrete at the parking lot, he came back over to this pickup truck and stuck it in a bag that was visible when we pulled up. So what they gonna end up doing is they’ll secure that gun. They’re gonna send it out to FDLE for test fires, fingerprinting, DNA, everything like that, to kind of solidify our case. We also have the video from that shooting, so a lot of information that we have kind of compiled…”

Listen below to some additional details about the incident from Deputy Lineberger in a discussion with a colleague on scene:

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Drive-thru dilemma.” Sergeant Marcus Booth successfully resolves a dispute between a cab driver and fast-food employees over an order dispute. Before the incident is settled, Iseman quips “so much for have it your way…Sergeant Marcus Booth trying to get to the bottom of a customer who felt their Value Meal didn’t have enough value.”

Sgt. Booth: “We ended up getting [the cabbie] squared away. She ended up getting it her way at BK.” Iseman: “Put a crown on that man — Sgt. Marcus Booth — just got a commercial for Burger King, made that woman feel like a Burger Queen.”

  • Clayton County, Ga. (pre-recorded segment) — Lieutenant Jonathan Carey, Deputy Devon Brown, and other units pursue a vehicle that allegedly fled earlier from another agency possibly in connection with a domestic incident. One of the other units PITs the vehicle. The driver is detained; vehicle impounded. Lt. Carey claims that the driver tried to grab one or more of the officers’ guns: “…but we were able to overpower him and take him into custody…he’s gonna go to jail for fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, obstruction, failure to stop for a stop sign…”

Listen below to analyst Sean Larkin in the OPL studio panel react to this incident:

Iseman: “So one of the great things about being in studio on this show is we’re watching that unfold, and it’s like watching film with the Manning brothers. You guys are breaking it down…”

  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Corporal Rachel Salka assists in a high-speed vehicle pursuit on a car that allegedly fled from an attempted traffic stop “reaching triple digits.” The lead police car, however, loses sight of the vehicle. Iseman: “So someone outran the law…”

According to Deputy Barry, the driver, at least initially, was “immediately quasi being uncooperative.” K9 sniff; car search. Iseman: “I called him K9 Clutch. It was K9 Cliff; but he was clutch.

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sergeant Jordon Lear makes brief, friendly contact with a man and his horse at a gas station and advises the man to keep the horse off the road. Sgt. Lear: “Don’t put that on the street, all right? You stay on the grass…” On Patrol: Live captions: “Equine stop,” “Why the long face?” The owner is apparently trying to desensitize the horse to unfamiliar surroundings. Iseman: “Curtis, you said with gas prices being what they are, that mode of transportation makes sense, right?” On Patrol: Live studio analyst Curtis Wilson: “We need some horsepower…”

Listen below to Sgt. Lear briefly discuss this encounter:

  • Triple Play #1 — Knox County officers attempt to serve a warrant at a residence that “quickly turned into a game of hide and seek.”
  • Christian County, Mo. — Iseman: “Corporal Ryan Bradshaw — he’s tracking a vehicle. Looks like it might be driven by Jed Clampett.” The corporal makes a friendly traffic stop; allegedly no tag on a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. The corporal adds that “surely they know that they’re dragging a chain.” Cpl. Bradshaw after making contact: “Apparently he’s borrowing a trailer from a friend…they went to Branson to do laundry, and this whole thing is full of laundry…”
  • Lee County, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of fight with knife,” “Investigating fight involving involving knife.” Deputy Joshua Roos and other units respond to the scene and make contact with two purported victims. The male declines to press charges. The female apparently wants to prosecute, however, and identifies the suspect in a show-up. Cops detain the suspect. Iseman: “She made the identification. Looks like we’re coming to a resolution…well, they survived the crime, and they’re fans of OPNation. We appreciate them. Glad to know Deputy Roos is handling things there.”

Listen below to Deputy Roos outline the allegations against the suspect:

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear makes a friendly traffic stop and fixes the motorist’s non-functioning tail light. “…look at that, bro. I Just fixed it. Your light wasn’t working, but I did the old double tap with love, and it popped right on.” The driver is released. Sgt. Lear explains to the motorist how to fix the light permanently. Iseman: “Curtis just called [Sgt. Lear] MacGyver, doing community service, fixing the tail light.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear provides backup at the scene where several individuals are already in custody possibly after a traffic stop. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspects held at gunpoint.” Guns allegedly found on scene. Many cops, including Officer Devon Johnson, are present at the location. Investigation ongoing. Iseman: “So once again, that was Sergeant Jordon Lear, Officer Devon Johnson, doing a very good job in Baton Rouge, handling a tense situation involving guns. Sounds like a weed buy gone sideways.”

Listen below to Sgt. Lear’s preliminary recap followed by some OPL studio analysis of the incident (Larkin: “Every time I watch [Sgt. Lear], I’m always impressed with just his leadership amongst the officers he’s working with. He has such natural street instincts, the way he carries himself, the way he talks to people. It’s a great example for the young officers out there.”):

Iseman update: “Many individuals were detained. The investigation is continuing to determine who, if anyone will be charged.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear and other officers respond to a shooting a convenience store and make contact with the victim. A suspect fled on foot. Paramedics summoned to treat the victim whose injuries appear to be not life threatening. Sgt. Lear: “You a lucky man…you got shot twice in your upper body, and you might need some stitches, and there might have to be something to do with your eye, but you are lucky.” Sgt. Lear reviews security footage. On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating shooting.”

Sgt. Lear preliminary recap: “So we got dispatched over here in reference to somebody shot. We got here, go inside, blood everywhere. The gentleman got shot twice that we see from now; one grazed his eye and the other one through his upper arm. He’s talking. He told us what happened. Basically, he and somebody had a pre-existing beef, and the dude came up on him and shot. So we got some units going…to the suspect’s house. Hopefully, we can apprehend him quick. I don’t know, another for beef: disturbance, disagreement.”

  • Richland County, S.C. — Captain Danny Brown responds to a shots-fired call where individuals at the location where running. Iseman: “So Curtis, it looks like your crew is trying to get things on lockdown there in Richland County.”
