This On Patrol: Live recap also includes the often-provocative or playful social media reaction to the law enforcement incidents in the field.

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.

On Patrol: Live Recap for May 8, 2026 (#OPL Episode 04-75)

OPL-stats-05_08_26
Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Responding to domestic incident.” Lieutenant Paul Yacobozzi, Corporal Rachel Salka, and multiple deputies respond to a shopping center parking lot on this call. Heavy bleeping.

Cpl. Salka preliminary summary:  “So we responded out here for pretty much a domestic dispute between two people. I believe she was down the street when they got into this argument. He jumps on the hood of her car. She was trying to leave, and she drove him all the way down here, and was driving around the parking lot, trying to get him off the vehicle. One of our deputies got on scene and made contact immediately with them. He decided to start, essentially, fighting our deputy. So our channel went into a code response and everyone made it out here. As we arrived on scene, we saw him struggling with the suspect, and we were able to get him detained and put into the vehicle without further incident. She’s declining charges at this point in time for any domestic dispute or damage to the vehicle. So at this point, we’re probably gonna have something like public disorderly conduct. But we’re gonna wait for the deputy who arrived first to make those decisions.”

Lt. Yacobozzi recap: “So it sounds like she picked him up. They got into some kind of argument, so she told him to get out, but apparently when she went to drive off, he jumped on the car, held onto the hood…like Dukes of Hazzard style. She drove off. She’s not familiar with the area, drove around, and then pulled in here. We were eventually able to get up here. We just ran a warrants check. He’s actually got a warrant out of one of our local adjoining jurisdictions. So he’s gonna go to jail right nor for disorderly. It doesn’t sound like she wants to press any charges…it doesn’t sound like property damage. So at a minimum, he’s gonna go for the disorderly, and he’s also got a warrant out of local jurisdiction.”

  • Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Responding to domestic incident. Sergeant Kenny Fitzsimmons and other units respond to a residence on this call where it sounds like there allegedly might be or have been a commotion inside. A vociferous male homeowner won’t come to the front door. Sgt. Fitzsimmons to the homeowner: “As soon as we talk to everybody, confirm everybody’s fine, we’ll leave…stop being such a jerk about it…” Deputies prepared to breach the front door, but end up entering the location via a side door and detaining the subject. On Patrol: Live caption: “Arrested for domestic violence and kidnapping.” Heavy bleeping.

Sgt. Fitzsimmons recap: “So the original call came out, there’s domestic violence in process. First deputy on scene…he physically saw the male put his hands on the female and pull her back inside. He just wanted to talk to all parties, make sure everybody’s safe…make sure nobody’s injured inside. So the female, the wife, wanted to come out, said she wanted to come out. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back inside. Now he is restricting her from coming out. That’s kidnapping. And it was in the presence of the deputy, so it’s also DV 3rd for putting his hands on her, pulling her back. So he’s gonna be taking a ride, and he’s very vocal about a lot of the stuff he wants to talk about, but at the end of the day, good guys win…so at one point, when we were at the front door arguing, or vocalizing back and forth with the subject, a male came out the side door, which got us entry…and then I think the young lady in pink came out, which I believe is the wife. We were able to get into that door, coming behind him while there was other people talking at the front door. And big man talks a lot, talked a really big game, but when the cops get there and go hands on him, he doesn’t fight; he doesn’t do anything.”

Listen below as Tom Rizzo back in the studio explains the circumstances that would have potentially allowed deputies to enter the home without a warrant:

  • Toledo, Ohio — Detective Jake Bombrys attempts a traffic stop. The vehicle pulls into the driveway of a home. The driver then bails; foot pursuit. On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for suspect.” A gun and drugs allegedly found during the search. After running the license plate to apparently get an address, cops, including Detective Dustin Mickles, detain a man who comes out of a nearby house. Abrams points out that this man and the suspect were wearing entirely different clothes. Police determine that he is not the suspect, but he allegedly has three open felony warrants. Bleeping. The actual suspect is still at large. Det. Bombrys indicates police will released the car back to the owner after they finish evidence collection: “We’re not…trying to jam people up that just kind of got caught up in letting somebody borrow their car just to go to the store or something like that.”

Det. Bombrys preliminary recap: “So we saw this car backing up straight down the roadway here. We turned our lights on, didn’t initially stop, pulled it into this driveway. And as soon as he pulled into the driveway, he didn’t even put the car in park. He ended up taking off and running through the backyard. As he hopped the back fence, I observed a firearm fall from his waistband.”

Listen below to a further update from Det. Bombrys:

Abrams: “The wrong guy, but the had had three warrants. So this would fall into the category of good luck and bad luck depending on which perspective you have on it.”

  • Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Investigating home invasion.” After spotting a possible suspect vehicle, Sgt. Fitsimmons, Master Deputy Justin Jeffcoat, and other cops detain a male motorist in a driveway. Bleeping. On Patrol: Live caption: “Arrested for burglary and domestic violence.”

Listen below to Tom Rizzo discuss the phone ping allegedly utilizes in this incident:

  • Clayton County, Ga. — Sergeant Welkind Saint-Jean initiates a friendly traffic stop on an Uber driver for a light issue. The motorist is likely released with a verbal warning.

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Toledo, Ohio (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, Officers John Sawicki and Kaleb Torbet, and colleagues, investigate a domestic-related issue at a residence. Paramedics summoned to the scene to check out the homeowner. An uninvolved neighbor in a pickup truck bumps an ambulance upon driving away. Traffic stop on the truck; citation issued.
  • Knox County, Tenn. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of man brandishing gun.” Officer Ashley Coons and a colleague investigate on scene at a residence. Officer Coons to the suspect: “…whatever this is has got to stop…”

Officer Coons preliminary recap: “This is a neighbor dispute that was turned into an admitted gunshot being fired…down here was in his driveway, listening to his music really loudly, and apparently this is an ongoing issue between the neighbors. And so now what it has turned into is that the neighbor came out, shined a flashlight in his car, and he called his brother, and brother comes over here and pops off a round. So that’s where we’re at.”

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Corporal Jermaine Javius and another officer make a friendly traffic stop possibly in connection with a temporary tag. A Chuckie doll is in the back seat. Another provocative item is allegedly found. A blunt is stomped out. The driver is apparently released with a warning.

Abrams: “In the state of Louisiana, you have to have Chucky in a child safety seat…” Rizzo: “It’s better than dealing with Annabelle…”

  • Henry County, Va. — Deputy Jasweda Hunt and Sergeant Aaron Davis attempt to serve an outstanding warrant at a residence. The male subject is apparently not on scene, however. Sgt. Davis recap: “We’re still looking for the same individual who fled from us Wednesday. We’re at another house. We got some information that he might be at this location. Talked to multiple [unintelligible], some people in a car in the front yard. We’re getting conflicting stories. So we’re not sure if he’s here or not; we’re still investigating.” Abrams: “That’s a bizarre scene right there…”
  • Henry County, Va. (pre-recorded segment) — BOLO for a suspect who allegedly set a car on fire.
  • Clayton County, Ga. — Sgt. Saint-Jean and other cops make a traffic stop at gunpoint on a suspect vehicle in connection with an alleged fraud warrant. Two occupants. Alleged odor of weed coming from the vehicle. Ammunition allegedly spotted on the floorboard. Probable cause car search. Gun allegedly found. On Patrol: Live caption: “Marijuana found.” According to Sgt. Saint-Jean, the driver is arrested for alleged weed possession. Captain Jason Barrett: “…take him on down to the Clayton County Jail and get some bologna sandwiches.” Abrams: “It seems that he may not be the fraud suspect, but he has other warrants: traffic. Again, another case of, it seems, somewhat bad luck for someone if that’s the case.” Cops are also trying to figure out who the vehicle’s registered owner is. Deputies release the female passenger.

Listen below to Sgt. Saint-Jean’s incident recap:

Abrams: “Another case of some bad luck for someone with warrants. Good luck for law enforcement.”

  • Triple Play #1 — An Arkansas State Police pursuit [the OPL caption incorrectly refers to the other Triple Play:
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Corporal Brett Usey conducts a traffic stop for alleged speeding. “We’re gonna have a chat on why he’s in such a hurry.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Greene County, Mo. — Corporal Joe Duran and Sergeant JD Dilday make a traffic stop possibly for a license plate issue. Consensual car search. Drugs and/or paraphernalia allegedly found along with Narcan. The cooperative female driver is released; the two male passengers are detained. One is arrested for alleged possession, the other for a warrant.

Listen below to some of Cpl. Duran’s alleged findings at the stop:

Listen below to some of Cpl. Duran’s interaction with the driver (“…she’s gonna get out of here tonight with a little bit of talking to about picking better friends…”) as well as a recap of the stop:

  • Richland County, S.C. — Sgt. Fitzsimmons makes brief contact with a scooter operator, an older gentleman, on a main thoroughfare to apparently to remind him to use the bike lane.

  • Baton Rouge, La. — On Patrol: Live caption: “In pursuit.” Corporals Javius and Anthony Nguyen initiate a traffic stop on a slow roller outside a residence allegedly for a non-functioning tail light. Bleeping. The driver ends up getting released; paramedics summoned for the driver’s mother on scene.
  • Triple Play #2 — a Harrison, Ark., police pursuit:
  • Henry County, Va. — Deputy Hunt and Sgt. Davis make contact with a female pedestrian and possibly give her a ride to her destination which apparently is Burger King. Sgt. Davis: “…she was walking in the road — concerned about her safety. So she’s fine. We’re just gonna get her where she’s going, and then make sure she’s safe.” Abrams: “Sounds like they’re gonna help her get to that place to get a burger and fries and a shake.”
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Lt. Yacobozzi and other deputies respond to an alleged father-son domestic incident at a residence.

Listen below to Lt. Yacobozzi’s preliminary assessment:

Lt. Yacobozzi follow up: “So talking to the other deputies on scene: So dad owns the truck that he lets son drive. Dad doesn’t want son to take said truck. She he can’t leave and get himself out of the situation. However, son is gonna make a phone call to get a ride. He’s got to work tomorrow. Right now, it sounds like mutual combatants, maybe a primary aggressor. They’re still kind of figuring that out. But as of right now, there was a physical fight, but no one wants to press any charges. Son is willing to leave for the night, get away from dad until he sobers up. But…he’s not letting the son take the truck that he drove to and from work. So mom said…son can take her car. And if not, we’ll just give him a ride or…he’s gonna get someone to pick him up. So we’re still trying to figure all that out.” Abrams: “All right; keep them away from each other.”

  • Baton Rouge, La. — Cp. Javius and Nguyen initiate a friendly traffic stop for an alleged altered tag and review the license, registration, and proof of insurance “to see if they have everything they need to have this vehicle on the roadway.”
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of disturbance.” In the video clip below, Cpl. Salka makes contact with a female outside a residence to try to resolve the situation. “You’re super intoxicated.”
  • Toledo, Ohio — In the video clip above, Officer Eric Draper responds to a weapons call. Abrams subsequently mentions that Officer Draper “has slowed his response down a bit to that report of 30 people with guns because apparently officers on that scene saying they have it under control. So he may still be going there, but not in as much of a rush as he had been.”
  • Clayton County, Ga. — In the video clip below as the On Patrol: Live episode concludes, deputies back up Atlanta PD to disperse a large crowd. Abrams: “Effectively, crowd control going on there.”
