The El Paso Police Department has released the body cam footage from the arrest of 35-year-old Jonathan Rose Eddens, who died in police custody on April 14. Police were originally sent to Alameda Avenue and San Marcial Street on a call about a man standing in the street. Upon arriving, officers spot Eddens walking in and out of traffic and claim he had blood on his face. The officers try to speak with Eddens, but he repeatedly tries to walk away. The confrontation grows more aggressive as officers tell him to stop, or they will use a stun gun on him, and one officer is heard claiming Eddens said he would stab him. Eddens eventually stops walking, but then appears to resist as several officers move to detain him. Eddens eventually breaks free from the officers' grasp before being brought down by a stun gun charge. The video appears to show officers punch and kick Eddens as he's held down, also using a stun gun multiple times as they struggle to put him in handcuffs. Blood can be seen coming down Eddens' face, but it is not clear whether it is from the previously mentioned wound or the struggle. After handcuffing Eddens, officers put him on an ambulance and sent him to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page posted body cam footage on Thursday of the aftermath of Tuesday’s deadly EF3 tornado in Westmoreland. The body cam footage is from Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chase Stallbaumer. He took part in the search and rescue following the tornado. In the video, he finds a cat and reunites it with its owner. He also finds a man and helps render aid. Stallbaumer: “What about animals?” Unknown man: “There’s a lady in a purple shirt talking about a lab.” Stallbaumer: “A lab? OK. There’s a cat right there.” Stallbaumer’s body cam footage shows him going up to the cat and picking it up. In the video, he states the cat is fine. He walks over to a girl who says it is her mom’s cat. He hands the cat off to her. She is crying. The video cuts to another area Stallbaumer explores. Stallbaumer: “No, I’m just looking in the creek just to see if there’s anything down here.” He can be seen climbing down a pile of fallen tree branches. The video then cuts to when Stallbaumer finds the man. Deputy Stallbaumer: “Um, who’s that?” He is seen pointing to the man as he says that. He then begins jogging over to him. Stallbaumer: “Hey buddy, are you OK?” He yells for “Rob.” The video cuts to Stallbaumer over the man. He is with two others, helping the man. The video then ends with the text “LOVE & PRAYERS.”

Deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and an Indiana conservation officer rescued a woman whose vehicle had flipped into a culvert Tuesday. The crash happened near 296th Street and Carpenter Road on April 30 in northern Hamilton County. Emergency crews arrived to find the inverted vehicle submerged in water, with the driver still inside. The officers, along with firefighters from White River and Jackson townships, used a winch to angle the vehicle to expose the windows. Standing in the water, officers shattered the window and cut away an airbag to get to the trapped driver. The woman was pulled from the vehicle and was treated by medics before she was taken to the St. Vincent Hospital for chest pain. "Without these measures taken by the first responders, the outcome for the victim could have been much worse and likely have resulted in a drowning," Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Bryan Melton said in a news release.

No criminal charges will be filed against Green Bay Police Officer Dan Skenandore, who was involved in a deadly shooting on Feb 23, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee announced Wednesday. The shooting came on the afternoon of Feb 23, after the Green Bay Police Department received a report of a "disturbance" between two vehicles involving a weapon, Police Chief Chris Davis said at the time. One of the vehicles, operated by Steve Ventura, was located on Green Ridge Drive near the 3100 block of Open Gate Trail. Ventura exited his vehicle, drew a handgun and pointed it in the direction of Skenandore, according to the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation. The two then exchanged gunfire, according to the report. Ventura was found injured, given life-saving measures, and later died at a hospital. Ventura died of an "apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," according to the statement from the Brown Country District Attorney's office.

A 47-year-old man is behind bars after he admitted to intentionally setting multiple fires in the Silver Springs Preservation Area. At around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received a call to assist Marion County Fire Rescue after numerous fires were reported in the Silver Springs Preservation Area near the 2000 block of NE Baseline Road, according to MCSO. While deputies were heading to the area, the sheriff’s office was informed that two individuals were camping in the woods near the location of the fires. MCSO stated that they were both unharmed. The MCSO AIR-1 unit responded to provide an aerial view of the active fires. According to the sheriff’s office, a total of eight fires were observed in the Silver Springs Preservation Area on Tuesday morning, and two of them were at least 30 yards in diameter. As AIR-1 crew members surveyed the fires from the sky, they spotted a male suspect who was lighting additional fires in the area. He was then observed fleeing southbound through the woods. The suspect was later identified as Jason Satterly. With assistance from the aerial unit, several MCSO deputies tracked Satterly through the woods. One of the deputies saw Satterly fleeing nearby, and he was detained in handcuffs. After deputies secured Satterly in a patrol vehicle, they used fire extinguishers to combat one of the eight active fires until firefighters arrived on scene. Satterly admitted to deputies that he had started the fires. He claimed that he was afraid because “people were chasing him,” according to MCSO. Satterly was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail, where he is currently being held on a $6,000 bond. He is being charged with malicious burning of land and culpable negligence – exposure to harm.

While conducting proactive patrols at the Microtel in Palm Coast just before 10 p.m. on Friday, April 26, Deputy Dorsey encountered a suspicious vehicle. He observed a white Dodge Charger backed into the parking lot with the trunk and doors open and the windows down. He also observed five subjects loitering in and around the vehicle. One of the subjects appeared to be wearing a face mask that obscured parts of his face. After calling for additional deputies, Deputy Dorsey returned to the area with backup and found the vehicle in the same position, with two males now standing on either side, and a strong burnt marijuana smell emanating from the vehicle. Deputies began conducting a search of the vehicle when three more subjects arrived on scene. One of the subjects, later identified as Demarcus Powell, 24 from Macon, Georgia, who had originally been standing near the passenger-side door, continued to move further away from the vehicle appearing as if he was looking to flee. Deputies warned him if he continued to do so, he would be detained. After locating a firearm with an extended magazine inside a backpack within the vehicle, deputies attempted to secure all involved persons in handcuffs pending further investigation. When Deputy Dorsey attempted to place Powell in handcuffs, Powell pushed the deputy and attempted to flee before tripping and rolling into nearby bushes. As Deputy Dorsey attempted to regain control of the subject, Powell refused all commands to place his hands behind his back. When Deputy Harrison attempted to utilize his taser, Powell attempted to grab it. Deputy Harrison successfully deployed his taser and Powell was finally secured. In a continued search of the vehicle, deputies located three separate baggies containing a combined total of 82g of THC. They also found a .45 caliber handgun with extended magazine, 67 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition, several loose baggies, and an electronic scale with marijuana residue. Powell was arrested for Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Sell, Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, and Resisting Arrest with Violence, and was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. He recently posted a bond of $12,500 and was released.

An Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) trooper recently found a horse reported loosed on an Ohio roadway. The state trooper from the Batavia Post located and returned the horse to its owner, according to a social media post. OSHP posted body camera footage of what happened on its Facebook page. It shows the trooper finding the horse on a dirt driveway and returning it to its owner. The trooper told the owner it was reported loose in the road, according to the body camera.

Four and a half years after a traffic stop in Eau Claire, the police officer who initiated it has been found guilty of violating the driver's civil rights. The federal case stems from a traffic stop off Keith and Clairemont on October 7, 2019. Officer Sam Sperry pulled over Sidney L. Coleman. According to police officials, Sperry had witnessed multiple traffic violations before initiating the stop. Coleman argued in his complaint that he was racially profiled. During the traffic stop, officials said officers searched the vehicle and found drugs. They then obtained a warrant to search Coleman's room at the Regency Inn & Suites. The jury determined last week that Officer Sperry initiated the traffic stop without reasonable suspicion to believe Coleman had committed a traffic offense or a crime. "I am extremely disheartened by the jury’s verdict and the damages awarded in this matter. The facts of this case demonstrate the actions of our officers were appropriate and not malicious," Police Chief Matt Rokus said in a press release. Eau Claire Deputy City Attorney Doug Hoffer told News 18 the decision by the jury is "baffling" and that Officer Sperry was acting appropriately. "It's really difficult to understand how this decision was reached," he said. "I understand in today's social environment there are people that treat law enforcement with a level of skepticism, and when that's warranted I think we're all comfortable with that, but here it clearly isn't, and it's a baffling and disappointing decision." Coleman is being awarded $550,000 in damages. Now, the city of Eau Claire is working with their insurance company to decide the best way to appeal this verdict. The jury found Officer Sperry not guilty of using excessive force.

On January 1, 2023, an MCSO deputy located a male arson suspect, identified as Kropp, who was traveling westbound in a vehicle on Highway 318 in Citra, according to MCSO. The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, and the deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The sheriff’s office stated that Kropp placed his middle finger out of the driver’s side window and refused to stop. An MCSO deputy successfully deployed stop sticks, which forced the vehicle to come to a stop. Kropp exited the vehicle while holding a baseball bat, and deputies issued several commands for him to stop and drop the weapon. According to the sheriff’s office, Kropp pulled out a machete, and a deputy deployed a taser in an attempt to detain Kropp. MCSO stated that the taser did not affect Kropp, and he proceeded to flee on foot into a nearby wooded area. An MCSO corporal and K-9 partner arrived on scene and began to track the area in search of Kropp. The K-9 partner led deputies on a 20-minute track to a tree, where Kropp was hiding. Deputies requested for Kropp to come down, and he stated that he was unable to feel his legs. Kropp then climbed higher into the tree. After nearly 11 hours of negotiations, Kropp eventually came down from the tree and was detained in handcuffs. While investigating the incident, MCSO discovered that the vehicle Kropp was driving had been reported stolen out of Tennessee. Kropp was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail. He was charged with second-degree arson, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, along with a misdemeanor charge for resisting an officer without violence. According to Marion County court records, Kroop underwent several psychological evaluations, and it was ultimately determined that he was “mentally/physically unable to stand trial.” After an order finding Kropp “incompetent” was filed in June of 2023, he was sent to a state hospital.

A deputy shot and killed a man who authorities say drove toward them as they tried to take him into custody in East Los Angeles. The shooting stemmed from a domestic assault call in the 1500 block of North Herbert Avenue around 11:50 p.m. Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Responding deputies saw the assault suspect leaving the area in a green van, which they later found driving on the 3900 block of Snow Drive. Deputies pulled the car over and got out of their vehicle in an attempt to detain the man. Authorities say the suspect made a U-turn in the cul-de-sac and "began driving towards one of the deputies when a deputy-involved shooting occurred." The suspect, described as a man in his 40s, was struck by gunfire in the upper body and rushed to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. A deputy was also taken to a hospital, where he was treated for an unspecified injury. His condition was not immediately made available. No other injuries were reported. Details about the assault victim were also not available.

The Scottsdale Police Department released on Wednesday, graphic body-camera video from an officer who shot and killed a suspect during a gun battle more than a month ago. The edited video shows the officers getting behind the SUV 52-year-old Laquanza Young was driving on Scottsdale Road and Cactus Road on March 21 just before 5:30 p.m. Young got into the left turn lane at the intersection, and the officer turned on his emergency lights. The suspect stops at the intersection and gets out of his SUV. That’s when the officer gets out of his patrol SUV with his rifle and tells Young to stay in the SUV, police said. Unfortunately, in the department’s release, the narrator talks over the body-cam video, so it’s unclear what the officer actually said. Young opened fire, and two officers returned fire. The suspect got back in his SUV, still pointing a gun at officers, investigators said. Police continue shooting “until they perceive there was no threat to the surrounding community or themselves,” investigators said. The department released body-cam video from only one officer because the second officer didn’t activate his body-camera. Young died in the SUV. No officers were hurt. Police said the SUV was stolen from Phoenix, and Scottsdale spotted it using an automatic license plate reader.

Charges against a man have been dropped, after dashcam video surfaced showing the crime he was accused of didn’t actually happen. Not only that, it shows -- a Montgomery County constable -- caused his own injury. The driver was originally accused of seriously injuring that Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office investigator who was directing traffic at the Ironman North American Championship in The Woodlands last weekend. Dashcam video from another driver’s car showed Investigator Toby McLaughlin, a 40-year veteran with the Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, kicking the man’s vehicle as he passed by and hurting his own leg. The constable’s office initially said McLaughlin was attempting to stop traffic for cyclists, when the driver ignored McLaughlin’s signals, hit him and then took off. The man was originally charged with failure to stop and render aid causing serious bodily injury and was in Montgomery County Jail with a $30,000 bond before the charges were dropped.

An ATV driver suffered serious injuries after crashing into a New Haven Police cruiser Sunday, police officials say. Police said officers were assigned that afternoon to a dirt bike/ATV detail in hopes of addressing ongoing complaints of riders driving recklessly and illegally around the city. Around 3:40 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of East Rock Park for reports of a group gathering there and using Farnam Drive to access the park- a road that’s been only open to pedestrian traffic since 2020. Officers driving up Farnam Drive noticed an ATV driving fast on the same road, in the direction of a significant number of pedestrians. In response, the officers slowed down and angled their cruiser to protect the families who had just passed, while also providing room to the side of them for the oncoming ATV to pass the cruiser. However, the ATV driver lost control and struck the front passenger side window of the cruiser. The driver was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, according to police. “This is an unfortunate and stark reminder of the extreme dangers of illegal ATV and dirt bike riding on city streets, both for pedestrians and the operators of the vehicles themselves,” Chief Karl Jacobson said in a statement Tuesday. “While we’re glad the family was protected from harm, what happened to the driver is tragic, and we hope for his complete and speedy recovery and we urge the public not to engage in this type of activity,” Jacobson said.

The Knoxville Police Department released body camera footage on Wednesday of police shooting a man armed with two knives at a Fountain City gas station on April 17. The footage released by KPD started by saying Seth Beeler, the responding KPD officer, went to the Exxon gas station on North Broadway at around 5:30 p.m. after calls about a disturbance. KPD said a man, later identified as William Charles McBride Jr., was acting erratically and "potentially violently" inside the store. "He has a knife out. He has a knife out," a person in a green hoodie said at the start of the video when Beeler stepped out of his police cruiser. In the video, the officer took out his gun and opened the door to the store. McBride was seen inside near the entryway, and the officer took a few steps back. A person was seen behind McBride, facing the counter. "Come out. Come out right now," Beeler said. "Get down on your knees!" As Beeler spoke, McBride quickly left the store with two knives in his hands, appearing to lunge out of the door toward the person in the green hoodie. The person in the hoodie ran. Beeler fired his gun twice, and McBride collapsed to the ground. "Get down on your face," Beeler said. McBride was heard groaning near an SUV as he turned around onto his stomach. Beeler kept his gun trained on him while McBride continued moaning. Around a minute after the shooting, McBride sounded like he was breathing heavily. "Crawl out, crawl out to me. Get out from under this car," Beeler said. The person in the hoodie who told Beeler that McBride had the knives was seen walking back into the store. Beeler started instructing people to move their cars, specifically telling the owner of the black SUV McBride was lying near to move the vehicle. Beeler also told people to stay back as he kept his gun pointed at McBride. "Everybody in the store okay?" Beeler asked as sirens could be heard approaching. "Hey sir, go to the front of your car, okay? There's going to be a lot of cops here." McBride continued lying on the ground and lifted his head up. After around three minutes from when McBride was shot, Beeler handcuffed him as other police officers arrived. "He tried to stab that guy," Beeler said to other officers in the video. An officer told Beeler he was going to get "crime scene stuff" while McBride was being searched. KPD said both knives were recovered from the gas station, and a still frame from the bodycam video showed they had been dropped near the SUV's tire. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting, and KPD said its Office of Professional Standards is also conducting an internal, administrative investigation to tell if Beeler followed KPD's procedures and policies. KPD said District Attorney General Charme Allen's office will make a determination on the shooting once the TBI finishes its investigation. KPD said there was additional body camera video taken of officers providing medical assistance to McBride, but said that video was not included Wednesday and won't be released until after the TBI finishes its investigation and the DA makes a determination. McBride was 41 years old and was declared dead after being taken to a hospital. His family said he had graduated from the University of Tennessee with a bachelor of science in social work. His family also described him as a military veteran who struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder since returning from overseas and said he turned to drug use to cope with his PTSD.

An investigation is now underway after an officer-involved shooting on Monday that ended with a suspect dead. Authorities said the shooting occurred in the 4900 block of Shadowdale Drive, around 4:20 p.m. Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner said it all started around 11:25 a.m. when a call for service was made for exposure at the same home where the shooting occurred. Finner said officers from the Major Offenders Division were conducting surveillance on the house. At the same time, officers from the Northwest Division responded to the exposure call and were informed about the surveillance by the Major Offenders Division and later backed off. Then around 4:20 p.m. officers executed a felony warrant stemming from a March 22 aggravated assault with a deadly weapon at a business nearby. Finner said the suspect pulled a gun on the manager at the business on that date, threatened to shoot him, and burn the business down. Finner said during Monday's warrant execution, officers surrounded the house, announced their presence and the suspect didn't come out of the house. That's when officers breached the back door, entered the house, and found the suspect in the bedroom. Authorities gave commands for the suspect to come out of the bedroom, and he initially complied. However, Finner said, the suspect went back into the bedroom, grabbed a gun, pointed the gun at officers, and two officers fired on the suspect. The suspect, a 44-year-old white male, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released pending notification of next of kin.

The Raynham Police Department released body cam footage Wednesday of a man who was shot and killed by police after he pointed a gun at a group of officers. 35-year-old Stephen MacLean was shot by two police officers after he pulled out a gun when police knocked on his door. The department said that police administered first aid to Maclean before he was taken to Morton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The department also released a statement that included the names of two of the officers involved in the shooting: “The Raynham Police Department is releasing the names of two officers involved in yesterday’s officer-involved shooting. Sgt. Frank Pacheco and Officer Jennifer Lang, both 12-year veterans of the Raynham Police Department, were placed on administrative leave Tuesday per the department’s policies and procedures. They will remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation remains ongoing by State Police detectives assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, and any further inquiries into this matter should be referred to their office.” The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said MacLean had been arrested Monday for allegedly intimidating a witness in Taunton District Court. Probation officials requested he be detained as he was on probation at the time of the arrest, but a district court judge released him on personal recognizance. Officials said they were told MacLean was fired from his job Tuesday morning after showing up to work intoxicated and had been acting aggressive prior to officers’ arrival at his apartment.

The Office of Inspector General on Wednesday released a preliminary report on a shooting in Hartford that involved a Hartford officer. One person was arrested in the case. The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Luis Ortiz of Hartford. The shooting happened on Saturday around 12:15 a.m. at an address on Wethersfield Avenue. The inspector general said that Hartford police Officer Devanand Budhoo was dispatched to Wethersfield Avenue for a report of a hit-and-run crash. “While speaking with the damaged vehicle’s owner, Officer Budhoo heard gunshots that appeared to be coming from the house across the street at 474 Wethersfield Ave.,” the inspector general said. “Officer Budhoo saw a person, later identified as Jimmy Muriel, age 30 of Hartford, run from the front door of that house followed by a second person, later identified as Ortiz, who was firing shots in the direction of Muriel.” Budhoo returned fire, the inspector general reported. No one was hit. Hartford police arrested Ortiz on charges of criminal possession of a firearm and related charges. The investigation into what happened continued as of Wednesday.

A south Georgia sheriff's office says it "remains on task" with responding to even the most basic calls for help, posting video this week of a deputy helping a mom after an 18-month-old baby was accidentally locked inside a truck. The Candler County Sheriff's Office posted the bodycam video of the deputy responding to unlock the vehicle, which you can watch in the video player above this story. "The footage captured a call where an 18-month-old was accidentally locked in a vehicle. With only four days on the job, Deputy Paine jumped on the task and quickly unlocked the car," the sheriff's office said on Facebook. "Deputies quickly resolved this potentially dangerous situation. According to the sheriff's office, neither the baby nor the mom was injured in any way. The post said that while "most agencies have discontinued unlocking vehicles for various reasons," the Candler County Sheriff's Office "remains on task." The post said the sheriff's office has responded to 174 calls for unlocking vehicles so far this year. Several local residents responded to the post saying they too had received help with getting their car unlocked. "So thankful for this!! My son who has special needs also locked himself in my car and the deputies came very quickly and quietly because when they asked me if there was anything that triggered him I told them sudden loud noises," one woman wrote. "I was not only very impressed but also very appreciative of this, being a mom of a child with special needs."

Two men from Long Island were indicted Monday in connection to the near-fatal fentanyl overdose of an infant back in January. Robert Mauro, 39, and a 35-year-old man from Lake Grove, who was not identified, were both indicted by the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Officers were called to the 35-year-old man's Colmar Avenue home back on Jan. 13 following reports of an unresponsive infant. When they arrived, police found an 11-month-old boy who described as having turned blue and having trouble breathing. Video released on Monday showed first responders saving the baby's life after it was unresponsive for half of an hour. Once at the hospital, the child was diagnosed with acute fentanyl poisoning. Mauro allegedly sold the fentanyl to the 35-year-old man just four days earlier, investigators said. "It is heartbreaking to see a defenseless and innocent child become yet another casualty of a deadly illegal drug. What is more outrageous is that the child's father is alleged to have placed his own son in close proximity to such poison," said District Attorney Raymond Tierney. Authorities say that two weeks after the infant nearly died from ingesting fentanyl, Mauro was alleged to have sold the same drugs to a 31-year-old woman from Patchogue who died from an overdose. An investigation showed the woman, who died on Jan. 29, allegedly purchased the fentanyl from Mauro days earlier based on a review of her phone data. Mauro's phone also allegedly showed that he communicated with the woman on the day that she overdosed. "Senseless and tragic results such as these will continue to occur in our communities until the legislature enacts real drug reform," Tierney said. Mauro was indicted for manslaughter, criminal sale of a controlled substance, three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminally using drug paraphernalia. The 35-year-old man was indicted for assault, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a controlled substance in connection to the child's overdose. Both men were arraigned on the indictment and remanded.

Shelbyville police officer Devin Moore is being hailed as a hero after his life-saving efforts were caught on camera. Moore is a safety officer at a local elementary school. On the morning of Feb. 20, he was driving his patrol car on I-74 near mile marker 121 in Shelbyville on his way into work. At about 6:30 a.m., he saw a car fly off the road, over a railing and into a nearby ditch. The car was almost immediately engulfed in flames. Moore quickly pulled over and jumped into action. When he arrived at the car, he noticed the passenger was unable to extricate himself from the vehicle. Moore cut through the airbags and seatbelt to get him away from the burning car. He then rescued the driver and got her to safety. “My job wasn’t over at that time, and I knew the flames were getting larger,” Moore said. After rescuing the driver, he realized the passenger was unconscious. Moore is a licensed EMT and worked to save the passenger, but he eventually died due to the injuries he experienced as a result of the incident. The entire exchange was caught on his dashcam footage. “There’s no amount of training that an officer can go through at the police academy to fight through flames and smoke,” Moore said. “It was just a matter of, whether it was a police officer or a good Samaritan, getting that person out.” Moore’s valiant efforts were honored Tuesday when he received the Medal of Valor from his department. The distinction is the highest honor an officer can receive. “He is a hero,” Shelbyville police chief Bill Dwenger said. “He represented the city, the police department, himself, and the profession more than words can ever say.” He’s been at the department for about two years and has been in public service for over 20.

The Lexington Police Department released the bodycam footage of Councilmember Tayna Fogle’s arrest from last March on the same day her charges were dismissed. Councilmember Tayna Fogle, who represents Council District 1, which includes parts of downtown, was arrested at an AT&T store on March 10. Fogle was charged with third-degree criminal trespassing, menacing, and resisting arrest. According to court records, all charges against Fogle were dismissed Tuesday. The above video lasts about 25 minutes, showing three different perspectives of the arrest. There is in-store surveillance footage from AT&T and body cam footage from a Sergeant Evely. But the bulk of the encounter is captured by Officer Sharp, who was the first to respond. The video starts with Officer Sharp arriving to the AT&T Store and talking with a store employee about the situation. Councilmember Fogle told us shortly after the arrest that she had a prior negative encounter with the officer. But the video indicates that he didn’t recognize her upon arrival. Officer Sharp then gave her several chances to walk out of the store. “I’m going to ask you to leave,” said Ofc. Sharp. “If you refuse to leave, you’re going to go to jail” “Lock up the councilmember, you go right ahead,” Councilmember Fogle responded. Fogle never explicitly refused to leave, but often ignored the officer’s questions and exchanged some strong words. I caught up with the councilmember at the Nehemiah Action event tonight to ask about the body cam being released. “Well I know the police have a footage, but I have a footage too, and it’s not matching up,” Fogle said. The charges of criminal trespassing, menacing, and resisting arrest were all dismissed by a judge Tuesday. With that decision made, Fogle says she hopes to put that Sunday in March behind her and move forward. “The truth and the evidence was presented,” said Fogle. “I think we both learned on both sides, and I don’t expect to have another incident like this.”

While attempting to stop the vehicle, they say 39-year-old Lupe Vargas crashed in the parking lot and discharged a firearm at deputies, who returned fire at the suspect. Officials say Vargas ran inside the hotel and later attempted to flee by stealing one of the deputy’s vehicles. While attempting to steal the BCSO vehicle, Vargas was taken into custody. According to BCSO, Vargas is a convicted felon with an extensive violent criminal history. He is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center and is facing battery, assault, and burglary charges as well as being a felon in possession of a gun. Vargas was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound that BCSO says is non-life-threatening. No deputies were injured.

Newly released video from the Seattle Police Department (SPD) shows officers arresting a 15 and 17-year-old who committed an armed carjacking before leading officers on a cross-city pursuit earlier this month. Police said at around 7:46 p.m. on April 12, officers responded to the 9200 block of 35th Ave Southwest for a report of an armed carjacking. When officers arrived at the scene, the carjacking victim reported two suspects robbed them at gunpoint and took their white Audi SUV. The suspects, according to police, fled the scene in a dark-colored Hyundai they originally drove, as well as the victim's Audi. Officers were able to locate the victim's car at Southwest 112th and 15th Ave. Southwest, where the Audi was found unoccupied, police said. The SPD said officers later spotted the suspects' Hyundai and attempted to stop the vehicle, but the suspects sped away. Police said this is when a pursuit was authorized. The King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) and Washington State Patrol (WSP) were also involved in the pursuit throughout Seattle and Burien, according to police. Police said the suspects eventually stopped the car and ran into a nearby Ravine. KCSO's Guardian 1 helicopter was able to find where the suspects were hiding, which is where officers began a K-9 track into the ravine. Both teens were found and eventually arrested for robbery, possession of a stolen vehicle, eluding a police vehicle, unlawful possession of firearms, and taking a motor vehicle without permission, police said. The two teenagers were booked into the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center. Police said one gun was also found, along with other items the suspects tossed out as they tried to run away. The cars were taken for processing. It is currently unknown if the Hyundai the teenagers were in was stolen.

An 18-year-old man is in custody after police said he ran toward officers while holding a handgun, resulting in at least one officer opening fire in the area of 1st and Vicente Fernandez streets late Sunday night. Gabriel Gomez, who was not injured in the shooting, was arrested on suspicion of shooting at an “inhabited” building, the Los Angeles Police Department said in an April 2 statement. Hollenbeck Division officers were patrolling the area at about 10:15 p.m. when they observed an unoccupied pick-up truck with its doors open stopped in the middle of the street. Officers exited their patrol vehicle to investigate and heard gunfire in the area of Mariachi Plaza. Officers walked toward the plaza when two suspects, both male, ran in their direction, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. One of the suspects, later identified as Gomez, was holding a handgun, police said. Officers ordered Gomez to the ground, but he continued running in their direction and at least one officer opened fire, police said. Gomez was not struck by gunfire and fled through the plaza on foot, police said, adding that he was quickly apprehended about a block away and was taken into custody. The pick-up truck, as well as the second suspect, were no longer at the site of the incident when officers returned to investigate. A “loaded 9mm semiautomatic Polymer 80 Ghost Gun” was located and recovered from the scene, with a live round lodged in its chamber, according to police. A bullet casing was also found in the area where Gomez ran from.

On April 26, deputies from the Echols County Sheriff’s Office attempted a traffic stop near Ben Daniels Farm Road for a violation. The driver, later identified as Sierra Smith, 32, from Dublin, accelerated dangerously, nearly hitting a deputy, and initiated a chase. The pursuit extended for about three miles, with speeds topping 120 mph. During the chase, deputies observed narcotics being discarded from the vehicle. Eventually, the vehicle stopped on Highway 129, and all four occupants were detained. K-9 Nos was deployed, aiding in the containment of the suspects until further law enforcement assistance arrived. A subsequent vehicle search uncovered a firearm, multiple packages of suspected marijuana, and paraphernalia associated with drug distribution. The apprehended suspects face multiple charges, including felony fleeing and drug possession with intent to distribute. Further legal proceedings will clarify the full extent of their criminal activities. The case also reopens investigations into additional felony charges from other counties, increasing the scrutiny on the suspects’ past activities
