Two men arrested late Wednesday in Deltona attempted to evade capture by running from deputies and hiding in a lake, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. Hylan Hill, 23, and Edward Ross, 24, were the respective driver and rear-seat passenger of a Nissan sedan that allegedly fled from deputies twice that night, in the second instance traveling at 65 mph in a 35 mph zone, the sheriff’s office said on social media. A pursuit that began in that second instance ended at a residence in the dead end of Barger Drive as the sedan struck a parked vehicle and the two men bailed out, the post states. Another passenger who was in the car emerged shortly after and was placed in handcuffs, yet they were later released without charges, according to the sheriff’s office. Hill and Ross ran behind the residence, prompting deputies to form a perimeter and search the area with help from K-9 units and Air One, the sheriff’s office’s aviation unit, according to Hill's arrest affidavit. Air One was able to locate the men in a lake, just northeast of the bailout location, the affidavit states. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to the scene with an airboat that the deputies used to approach and retrieve Hill and Ross, according to the sheriff’s office. Body-worn camera video shared in the social media post shows deputies making contact with the men and pulling them out of the water. A search of the Nissan turned up a .40 caliber Glock loaded with an extended magazine, tucked between the driver’s seat and center console, Hill’s affidavit states. According to Ross’ arrest affidavit, detectives were alerted the following day to a jail call that the 24-year-old had placed to his mother, in which he allegedly told her where to find an item in the woods where the bailout had taken place. Detectives made contact with the owner of the Barger Drive residence, who told the investigators he had located a bag in the area after the incident. That bag contained a loaded .22 caliber Uzi and marijuana weighing 9.8 grams with packaging, the affidavit states. Hill faces charges of driving while license canceled, suspended or revoked, leaving the scene of a crash with damage to property over $50, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement with lights and sirens activated, possession of a weapon by an in-state felon, obstructing an officer without violence and possession of a machine gun, records show. He was being held on no bond at the time of this report. Ross faces charges of obstructing an officer without violence, possession of cannabis not more than 20 grams and tampering with evidence, held on no bond pursuant to a charge of violating probation, records show.

Two people were arrested following a high-speed chase in Michigan on Tuesday. One of them was allegedly driving with a suspended license and is accused of operating the vehicle while under the influence of drugs. At 8:25 p.m., Livingston County deputies tried to initiate a traffic stop on a gray Ford F-350 truck in Brighton Township because the license plate wasn't on the vehicle properly and appeared to be unregistered. The truck fled, leading deputies on a chase that reached speeds that exceeded 80 mph through Brighton and Hamburg Townships. Dash camera footage shows that Hamburg Township officers deployed stop sticks when the truck entered the township, deflating three tires. The truck kept traveling but eventually stopped at the dead end of Old Road. The passenger, a 38-year-old Brighton man, was arrested and taken to the Livingston County Jail for outstanding warrants. He isn't facing any charges in connection to the chase. However, the driver, a 48-year-old Putnam Township woman, was arrested and lodged at the jail as authorities seek the charges of driving with a suspended license, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, fleeing and eluding, resisting arrest, operating under the influence of drugs and possession of methamphetamines. In addition to these charges, the woman also had multiple outstanding felony warrants.

0:00 - intro 0:36 - Surveillance Video 1:57 - Officer Eakins 8:26 - Officer Corona 9:54 - Officer Sinakone 10:24 - Officer Thompson 12:13 - Officer Corona ----- Houston police have filed charges against the man involved in a police shooting on Thursday night. Officials claim 36-year-old Christopher Michael Rodriguez, has been charged with aggravated assault of a public servant, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and felon in possession of a firearm. On Thursday around 8:20 p.m., an HPD Officer Eakins arrived at 600 East Tidwell Road after he reportedly heard gunshots and saw a man, now identified as Rodriguez, armed with a pistol, running in front of a store. The officer gave the suspect commands to drop the firearm, but Rodriguez allegedly continues to run in the opposite direction with the pistol still in his hands, officials say. Christopher Michael Rodriguez (Courtesy of Houston Police Department) Officer Eakins says he demanded Rodriguez drop his weapon again and as Rodriguez turned with the weapon in his hand, fearing for his safety, Eakins shot his weapon several times, hitting Rodriguez. According to officials, the 36-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Colorado Springs police on Thursday released video from a recent officer-involved shooting fatality. Michael Hurst, 40, died May 18 after an encounter with police on the 4200 block of Deerfield Hills Road. Police said shortly after 10:30 p.m. they received reports of a suicidal man with a gun at a residence. According to a 911 call released by police, the reporting party told dispatch that her son was seemingly high on meth and had taken a gun by breaking into the home's gun safe. The reporting party told the dispatcher she didn't believe the firearm was loaded. However, a gunshot can be heard in the background of the call, prompting the woman to vacate the home by crawling through a window. Police arrived at the residence at roughly 10:48 p.m., according to dispatch. Officers can be heard asking Hurst to exit the home safely when another gunshot flash is seen and heard, striking a department drone. In the body camera footage released by the department, Hurst can be heard threatening to shoot and kill the police repeatedly, calling them "pigs." About 17 minutes following police arrival, Hurst exited the home with a firearm in hand. "Put the gun down, buddy," one officer on the scene is heard saying to Hurst. "Nope, not putting it down," Hurst is heard saying in response. "Y'all are going to die." Through the bodycam footage, officers are heard repeatedly attempting to deescalate the situation, telling Hurst he's scaring the neighbors and asking him to safely exit the home. Five minutes into negotiations with officers, Hurst continued to make threats, saying he would shoot at the officers. Hurst continued to make movements indicating intent to use the firearm again, police said. In response, Officer Nicholas Cassalia fired his weapon four times, striking Hurst twice. According to department officials, officers located a firearm on the scene and gave emergency medical aid before Hurst was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

State investigators released an initial report about a man who died while in Milford police custody. The Office of Inspector General said it has yet to determine the exact cause and manner of 52-year-old Michael Brown’s death. Brown died on June 5. Sometime after 10:35 a.m. on that date, Milford police responded to a Big Y World Class Market on the Boston Post Road to investigate a shoplifting report. Brown was identified as the suspect, and Milford police reported that he had eight outstanding warrants for shoplifting. Officers said they saw Brown leave the store and followed him to his car. They said Brown ignored the officers’ directions to stop, and he entered the car. In body cam footage that was released, Milford police can be heard ordering him out of the car. However, Brown complained of a “broken leg.” “After he was physically removed from the car and placed in handcuffs, Brown complained of shortness of breath and leg pain,” the inspector general said. Police asked for medical help from the Milford Fire Department, which responded to the scene and provided medical aid. “During transport to Milford Hospital, Brown stopped breathing,” the inspector general said. “He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.” According to the medical examiner’s notification to police, the cause of death was “pending.”

[No Audio] Rock Island County State's Attorney Dora Villarreal says two East Moline officers were justified in a shooting that killed an 80-year-old on May 17. On May 17 around 2:17 p.m., East Moline Police officers were called to the Hometown Harbor Apartment Complex on 49th Avenue in East Moline for a man with a gun. He was later identified as 80-year-old Eugene Mewes. According to Villareal, officers had responded to the complex a day prior, May 16, after Mewes got into a physical altercation with a maintenance worker over work done at Mewe's residence. That maintenance worker is who called police on May 17, saying Mewes had pointed a gun and fired it toward him, but that it did not hit him. One of the responding officers, Garrett Kistner, arrived at the scene around 2:24 p.m., according to Villareal's opinion and previous information from officials. Villareal's report says footage from the scene shows Mewes sitting on a motorized scooter as Kistner slowly approaches him. At 2:25 p.m., the second officer, Lt. Dustin Edkin, arrives and approaches Mewes as well. According to the state's attorney, Mewes was holding a semi-automatic pistol under his chin. He was located near the complex's community room and the East Moline Christian School. Here is how Villareal says the shooting took place, based on the investigation: "Lt. Edkin has his duty weapon out and is heard repeatedly yelling for Mewes to drop the gun. Mewes responds several times, saying he was not going to drop the gun, and asks for officers to “shoot him.” At this time Kistner is also telling Mewes to drop the gun and is now positioned directly to the left of Mewes, in an L position. Mewes continues to yell that he is not dropping the gun and that he wants the officers to shoot him, he also says that he has his finger on the trigger of the gun. "Both Lt. Edkin and Kistner continue to command Mewes to drop the weapon, and Edkin fires one shot towards Mewes that appears to hit the middle of the handlebars on the scooter, a portion of metal can be seen flying into the air. Mewes appears to flinch, but then leans up with the gun in his right hand and begins to point the gun towards his left, where Kistner is standing. "At this time, both Edkin and Kistner fire shots, and Mewes drops the gun on the ground to his right. Kistner quickly runs back to his squad to retrieve a medical kit and begins to render aid to Mewes. Other officers arrive at the scene and assist with medical aid until EMS arrives to transport Mewes to a nearby hospital." Mewes sustained life-threatening injuries and later died at OSF Peoria on May 20. Autopsy and hospital reports say he had four gunshot wounds.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office on Friday released a nearly four-minute edited and narrated video that shows surveillance and body-worn camera footage from when a deputy shot an armed man who was running away in south Sacramento in March. The video shows the man, identified as Marquis Chapple, facing away from the officer when shot twice as he ran away from the deputy. Several other bystanders can be seen in the area during the March 5 shooting at 8:30 p.m. in the parking lot of a strip mall near Fruitridge Road and Odea Drive. Sacramento County sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Amar Gandhi says in the video that three detectives working with the gang suppression unit in an unmarked black SUV saw a silver hatchback on the roadway with expired registration around 8:25 p.m. Deputies followed the vehicle after it pulled into the parking lot. They activated their emergency lights to make a traffic stop when it appeared the hatchback was trying to leave. The footage shows Chapple exiting the hatchback from the passenger side. Gandhi says in the video that the primary detective observed the man with a gun in his left hand pointed at him. It’s hard to make out the direction of the gun in the corresponding footage. The video next shows Chapple running away, with a detective running behind him in pursuit and firing at Chapple. Of the three rounds that were fired, one round hit Chapple in the right torso and the other in the left buttock, according to Gandhi. The officer who shot Chapple has been with the sheriff’s office since 2016. The video next shows Chapple on the ground and a deputy restraining his arms. Gandhi says deputies immediately began to provide medical aid until fire personnel arrived, but the video that was released does not show those moments. Chapple was taken to the hospital and later booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail after being medically cleared. Gandhi said a Glock-style handgun with a loaded extended capacity 30-round magazine was recovered next to Chapple. The driver of the car, Alejandro Cervantes-Ramino, and another passenger were released at the time. But days later, detectives serving a search warrant at Cervantes’ home recovered a rifle, three handguns, ammunition and cash. He was taken into custody for several felony charges, the sheriff's office said.

On April 19, shortly after 9 a.m., deputies responded to the 15100 block of North Bowman Road for a report of a burglary in progress. The 911 caller reported that the man, who was armed with a knife, had broken into an occupied residence and was holding a hostage at knife point. When the first deputy arrived, he quickly identified the suspect, who was engaged in a struggle with a victim just outside the residence. The suspect, armed with a knife, had both his arms around the neck of the hostage. The suspect did not comply with the deputy's commands, continued the struggle, and made threats to harm the victim. The suspect then raised the knife he was holding toward the hostage, prompting the deputy to discharge his rifle, and hit the suspect. The suspect was identified as 44-year-old Joseph Mudd III. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim who was held hostage was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries that were caused by the suspect. No deputies or other community members were injured as a result of this incident.

On 5/21/2024, at approximately 2:00 AM, Officers were dispatched to 1011 W. Roosevelt Street in reference to multiple reports of gun shots in the area. Upon arrival, officers located a vehicle facing the wrong direction on the side of the street, with the engine running, and headlights on. Officers observed the suspect, Rodrick Veal, alone and in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, either asleep or unconscious. Officers also observed a handgun next to Mr. Veal inside the vehicle. Officers were able to wake up Mr. Veal and get him to exit the vehicle after several attempts. Officers informed Mr. Veal why he was being contacted. Officers then attempted to pat Mr. Veal down, due to already observing one handgun next to Mr. Veal. During the pat down, officers located a clear plastic bag with Narcotics in the front pocket of Mr. Veal’s pants, and he immediately became combative, preventing officers from completing the pat down. The Officers backed off and attempted to deescalate the situation to get Mr. Veal to comply, but he refused to listen to commands. One officer then deployed a TASER to Mr. Veal, which caused him to fall to the ground. The TASER leads break, which causes all further attempts to use the TASER to be ineffective. Officers begin attempts to get Mr. Veal to roll over to his stomach, so that he can be handcuffed. Mr. Veal refuses all commands and physically resists against officers in their attempts to roll him over to his stomach. Around the 4:45 mark of the video, Mr. Veal almost takes the Officer’s TASER from him, and actually pulls the trigger, causing the 2nd cartridge of probes to discharge into the grass. Around the 6:00 mark of the video, Mr. Veal attempts to take the cuffs from the assisting Officer. When the assisting Officer is finally able to place one cuff onto Mr. Veal’s right wrist, he begins violently kicking at the Officers in an attempt to avoid being handcuffed. At that time, the primary Officer delivers a single strike, hitting Mr. Veal on the left side of his face. Mr. Veal continued to resist and struggle against Officers until other Officers arrived and were able to get Mr. Veal to his stomach and handcuff him behind his back. Rodrick Veal was found to be in possession of plastic baggies containing Marijuana and Methamphetamine. Mr. Veal’s Criminal History showed he had been charged with Armed Robbery on two separate occasions, and in 2018 was sentenced to 10 years for Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm. These charges made it illegal for Mr. Veal to be in possession of the handgun that was observed next to him inside the vehicle. Mr. Veal was evaluated by EMS due to his perceived intoxication and was later brought to OLOL Hospital to be treated for high blood sugar and the possible ingesting of narcotics. No official complaints have been made to BRPD, however, the Department has been proactive in launching its own review of the incident to determine what policy violations may have occurred.

The man who was killed in an Arlington home explosion in December caused the blast himself, officials said Friday, when he took up to 35 gallons of gasoline to his basement that were then set off with firearms, matches or a lighter. James Yoo, 56, engaged in a standoff with authorities on Dec. 4 at his Northern Virginia home before it exploded with him inside, local and federal authorities said at a news conference detailing their investigation into the incident. Officials said that he died in the blast, which gripped the D.C. suburb with its sudden, loud boom. The explosion sent flames, smoke and debris raining down on the Bluemont area, displacing a family that lived in the other half of Yoo’s duplex and generating rampant speculation across Arlington about the source of the incident. Authorities said no one outside the home was seriously hurt in the explosion. Officials said Friday that they had reviewed some social media posts from Yoo expressing suspicion of government and law enforcement, but that they could not connect those to the cause of the explosion. “As far as motive, unfortunately, we’re not going to know,” Arlington Police Chief Andy Penn said at the news conference. During the standoff, an armored Arlington police vehicle breached the door to Yoo’s residence at 844 N. Burlington St. to execute a warrant. Responding officers have not been accused of wrongdoing in the incident. Yoo, who records show had inherited the home from his parents, had rarely been seen around his neighborhood and did not interact with others on the block before the explosion, residents told The Washington Post last year. He had gone through a contentious divorce, had a history of alcohol abuse and filing rambling lawsuits, and had repeatedly complained to the FBI, to no avail, that he was a fraud victim, The Post reported last fall. Penn said Friday that Yoo had limited interactions with local police, who had responded to his address a few times regarding noise-related complaints. One neighbor told police that Yoo appeared to be amassing large quantities of charcoal and lighter fluid. Others mentioned that he had strewn toilet paper around nearby trees and covered up his windows with black trash bags. The incident happened on Dec. 4, when someone began firing “a flare-type gun” in the 800 block of North Burlington Street, police said. When officers arrived at Yoo’s home about 5 p.m., they were met with gunfire. More than 40 flares went off over a period of 25 minutes, police said. Shortly before 8:30 p.m., an enormous blast from inside the home, heard for miles, reduced the place to splinters and rained debris all over the block. Police said Friday that remains later found in the rubble were determined to be Yoo’s. A medical examiner determined that Yoo had died of thermal injuries and blunt force trauma. Arlington fire officials said the natural gas line to Yoo’s home had been shut off before the explosion. Officials said that authorities on the scene used chemical munitions, including tear gas and pepper spray in liquid and powder form, but that neither substance would have triggered the blast. Police later found the remains of three gas canisters amid the rubble in Yoo’s basement, including two 5-gallon cans and another that looked to be between 20 and 25 gallons, Penn said. Multiple shotguns, a pistol, flare guns, matches or a lighter could have set gas vapors on fire, he added.

The Grover Beach Police Department has released video of a recent officer-involved shooting in which a 41-year-old man was killed. The shooting happened on Saturday, May 25, at about 6:45 p.m. The body-worn camera footage from an officer who responded to a 911 call from a resident who said a man was acting erratically, yelling and throwing rocks at cars in the area of Grand Avenue and 13th Street. The video shows the officer arriving at the scene and making contact with the man, who says multiple times that he has a gun. In the video, the man advances toward the officer and points what appears to be a firearm at the officer. The officer then fires multiple rounds, striking the man, who then falls to the ground. It was later determined that the man had a replica firearm in his possession. The video also includes cell phone video taken by a citizen at a gas station across the street. Police say the man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He has been identified as Aaron Edward Gardner of Independence, Missouri. Police say Gardner was unhoused and traveling through California. He reportedly had a criminal history in several states and, at the time of the shooting, had two warrants out for his arrest in Kansas and Texas.

0:00 - Fight 2:54 - Chase 7:51 - Shootout 8:39 - Chase resumes 10:12 - Foot chase 10:40 - Different Trooper trying to run him down ----- Shocking video shows the initial altercation, rolling gun battle, and final moments of a violent high-speed chase and crash that spanned two states and multiple police jurisdictions. You will remember in July 2023, Joshua Ringle, resisted arrest and fought with police before leading them on a chase from Niles to South Bend. Shocking video shows the initial altercation, rolling gun battle, and final moments of a violent high-speed chase and crash that spanned two states and multiple police jurisdictions. (WSBT video) The police chase and man hunt ended in downtown South Bend, where Ringle was found dead by the St. Joseph River. Until now, what happened during the deadly altercation was somewhat unclear. Just weeks after that, chase WSBT filed an official request to get dash cam and body cam video of the incident. In January, WSBT 22 was the first to tell you the St. Joseph County Prosecutor released Ringle died by blunt force trauma and that law enforcement did act appropriately. That information given to us six months after the chase and Ringle's death. Last week, police provided 14 angles of the traffic stop and pursuit. That includes 13 dash cam videos and one body cam video. Video begins with the initial traffic stop in a Niles business parking lot - a Michigan State Police trooper attempts to take Ringle into custody for an outstanding warrant You can hear an MSP trooper say that the suspect is fighting him. Ringle proceeds to physically fight with the trooper while saying he will not go. The officer falls to the ground as the suspect and trooper continue to fight. The violent altercation lasts just more than a minute. The trooper deploys a taser and repeatedly instructs Ringle to step out of the vehicle. He then tells Ringle to drop the gun. Ringle took off south on State Road 933 heading toward Indiana. Dispatch audio captured the high-speed chase, reaching speeds of 115 mph. The cars ca be seen weaving in and out of traffic. Less than five minutes into the chase, debris is seen flying off Ringle's red Kia. There are sparks coming from the right tires. Ringle points his gun out the window...shots are fired. Dash cam video captures the trooper saying that Ringle is pointing a gun out the window, that shots were fired, and that shots were fired by police. Ringle led troopers past Memorial Hospital into downtown South Bend....the chase coming to a screeching halt when Ringle slams his car into a South Bend Police vehicle in front of a McDonald's. Ringle takes off running toward a wooded area. You can hear multiple shots being fired by police. Dash and body cam video shows the final moments. Ringle running from police as a Michigan State police car slam into a tree. Indiana State Police investigators told WSBT22 Ringle was found dead by the river and that Michigan State Police were the only agency to fire a weapon. The Prosecutor's office later confirming that Ringle died from blunt force trauma. They also said that law enforcement acted appropriately, and no further action is needed.

A confrontation during a drug raid Thursday ended with two deputies injured by gunfire and one man inside the house shot to death, authorities said. Tyquarius Armstrong, 21, was in the back bedroom of the house on Robertson Avenue when deputies and DEA agents executed a search warrant Thursday morning. Body camera video from the encounter, released several hours after the shooting, appears to show Armstrong raising a gun when deputies kicked open the bedroom door. Authorities had announced their presence as they approached the house near the intersection of North Foster Drive and Hollywood Street. "Come on, let's go. Sheriff's Office. Search warrant," one called out as the group approached the carport door, the video shows. Inside, a unit leader told a colleague to "take the hall" as he entered a room with a bed and a desktop computer. Seconds later, another law enforcement officer kicked open the door to the next room. The portion of the video released by the sheriff's office stopped just after Armstrong apparently fired at the officers. One deputy had a serious injury to his lower abdomen. The other was hit in his ballistic vest. "Once fired upon, deputies returned fire," a sheriff's office statement read. Sheriff Sid Gautreaux later visited the wounded deputies, who are both expected to recover. He refused to identify them because of their undercover work. "This incident exemplifies how dangerous this job can be every day," Gautreaux said. "I'm grateful our deputies are not more seriously injured." Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome released a statement expressing gratitude toward the deputies. "This incident underscores the daily risks faced by our law enforcement officers, and we are committed to supporting them fully and ensuring their safety," she said. Attorney Ron Haley, who represents Armstrong's family, said he was pleased that authorities acted quickly to release body camera footage from the raid. "I do appreciate the sheriff's office not waiting days and weeks and weeks to release it. They immediately gathered information and released what they needed to the public to try and keep that trust with law enforcement and the public," Haley said. But Haley said he still has questions about what led up to the gunfire. "Well, what about this residence that led to them to believe that there was contraband worthy of this use of police force?" he said. "Two deputies shot and a suspect that was probably not the subject of this investigation? The juice is not worth the squeeze in this case." According to East Baton Rouge state court records, Armstrong has no previous charges aside from a seat belt violation. His brother, who also lives at the house, is awaiting trial drug distribution and gun charges.

A domestic violence suspect was fatally shot by Riverside police officers Thursday when he allegedly confronted them with a knife at a downtown residence. The shooting occurred at 5:30 a.m. in the 3400 block of Chestnut Street, near Fourth Street, according to the Riverside Police Department. "Our officers responded to a domestic violence call for service at this location when they were confronted by the suspect who was armed with a knife," said Riverside police. According to police, "a less-than-lethal force option was utilized, then shortly after, an officer-involved shooting occurred." The alleged assailant was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics minutes later. No officers were injured.

A man is recovering at a local hospital Tuesday morning after he was shot by an officer following a road rage incident and pursuit that stretched "roughly 25 to 30 miles" across Jacksonville, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. JSO Chief Alan Parker says at 12:52 a.m., an unknown male who they have identified as a victim, flagged down officers near Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Interstate 95, "reporting to have been involved in some type of road rage incident." Parker says the alleged victim then told police that the man who is hospitalized, identified as Charles Guernsey, 45, "pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him." "So, he [the victim] pulls away, he gets on the phone with 911, he's reporting the information, he got the tag information," Parker said. "And at that point, he sees officers on the side of the road. He pulls up to them, tells them what happened, so they get behind the suspect." Parker says police lights weren't turned on yet when Guernsey "took off" in a pickup truck. Florida Highway Patrol troopers took control of the pursuit when it transitioned onto the interstate, according to Parker. "They attempted two different PIT maneuvers, with it being a larger vehicle," Parker said. "The PITs were unsuccessful, it continued on. So somewhere around I-295 and Commonwealth [Avenue], our officers were able to deploy stop sticks that were successful. It hit the vehicle tires and the suspect. He was able to continue on, but the tires were deflating. He continued here over to West Beaver Street." Parker says in the 11000 block of West Beaver Street, officers were able to successfully complete a PIT maneuver on Guernsey's vehicle. JSO says Guernsey then fled the vehicle on foot, as an officer "fired multiple rounds" and struck him; he was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. "He has a pretty extensive history in Baker County and Alachua [County], everything from traffic, drugs, domestic, ag [aggravated] assaults, burglary, trespass, a number of things, sale of cocaine," Parker said on Guernsey's alleged criminal record. When asked if Guernsey fired any shots during the incident, Parker said: "That's all a part of the investigation at this point we're looking into." Parker said JSO is in the process of obtaining a search warrant for the vehicle Guernsey was driving, as officers did not recover a gun from him during the incident. Guernsey is being charged with evading officers, but it is still unclear why he ran from police or if he had a gun. "If he has a gun, there’s legitimacy to the complaint. If he doesn’t have a gun, now you need to go back to that complainant and see if he lied to police and if they wanted to file a false report," said First Coast News Crime and Safety Expert Ken Jefferson.

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office dispatchers and patrol officers recently responded to a call about a woman who threatened to drive off a bridge with her 4 children in the vehicle. First responders worked with a brave family member who reported the threat and quickly tracked down the mother and her children in Jacksonville Beach before anyone was hurt. This video includes the call and body worn camera footage as officers searched for and located the family in distress. Patrol officers kept the children occupied as they dealt with a stressful and urgent situation. The children are with a relative and the mother is receiving treatment.

Broken Arrow Police released a body camera video Wednesday after they arrested a man for illegally parking in his cul-de-sac. The video shows Richard McMahon slamming the door on the officer when they tried to talk to him, which led to him getting arrested for resisting arrest. Some neighbors say McMahon harasses them and calls the police on them for no good reason. McMahon told News On 6 Wednesday he couldn’t interview until he talks to his lawyer. "Hey, I am investigating a traffic crime, you do not have the right to do that,” an officer is heard saying on the video. Broken Arrow Police officers say McMahon first called police about someone else parking illegally, but, officers say McMahon was the one who had his car parked sideways in the cul-de-sac and not letting people pass. "The way he's parked is legal,” an officer is heard saying on the body camera footage. “The way you were parked when I showed up was not. So I need to see your driver’s license, so I can issue you a citation for blocking the roadway." "I didn't block the roadway,” McMahon is heard saying on the body camera footage. The video shows McMahon and the officer in a struggle while the officer puts handcuffs on him. "I never resisted you to begin with,” McMahon is heard saying on video. "Yes, you did,” said the officer. "You hit me,” said McMahon. "It's all on body cam, sir,” said the officer. "Yes it is,” said McMahon. The officer says on the video they have been called to McMahon's house several times, because of him calling the cops on his neighbors “I hate this guy,” the officer is heard saying on the video. “I hate Richard McMahon. I don't care." Chyanne Armstrong lives next door and says McMahon has called the police on her many times for letting her kids play in her own front yard. "After the police left that day, he stood in his yard, in his backyard, and screamed at my son and told my four-year-old son that he would be dead soon because his mom does not know how to take care of him,” Armstrong said. Records show McMahon has had three protective orders filed against him in the past 11 months, including one last week. He’s also been charged with seven counts of violating protective orders and one count of assault and battery plus a count of property damage and resisting arrest. Armstrong hopes more will be done to keep the neighbors safe. “We want our children to be able to play outside and us not worry that they are going to be hurt, or they're going to get ran over,” said Armstrong. Broken Arrow Police are still investigating this incident and say the officer has been put on routine administrative leave.

Body camera video released Wednesday shows the events that led Austin police to shoot an armed man who had holed himself up in a southeast Austin gas station and made Molotov cocktails. Police said Nichols is the one who discharged his department-issued firearm. He has 16 years of service with the department. Nichols was placed on administrative leave, per APD protocol. Fabian was not considered a “subject officer” in the shooting. Police said his body cam footage was released, so the public could “better understand the sequence of events,” the release said. Police followed a stolen vehicle as it turned into the gas station on May 21, according to a media briefing that day. The suspect, later identified as 35-year-old Alfonso Gonzales, also shot at officers multiple times, poured lighter fluid over the counter and made suicidal threats, police said.

The North County Police Cooperative video shows the body camera footage of the 49-year-old police officer who shot a man who pointed a gun at him inside a St. Ann apartment. The man who the officer shot, 22-year-old Davion Swinson, was charged with attempted assault of a police officer back in March. According to the video, a woman at an apartment on the 4100 block of Parc Chalet Drive called 911 hoping to get an ambulance to take Swinson to the hospital due to stomach pain and dizziness. Police officers were dispatched to the address along with EMS because police had been called to the address seven times in the last 60 days, and a person at the address was known to be violent and armed. In the video, Martin said EMS workers and police officers waited outside the apartment for a few minutes while they could hear someone inside groaning and vomiting. The woman who called police said she wanted Swinson to get dressed before he got into an ambulance. After waiting a few more minutes inside the living room of the apartment, a paramedic started talking to him through the bathroom door. Eventually, Swinson and the woman who called 911 refused to be taken to the hospital, so EMS workers started leaving. That's when Swinson came out of the bathroom, said he was going to get something, and ran into a nearby bedroom. While waiting for Swinson to come out of the bedroom, the officer asked the woman if they were new to the neighborhood before shouting, "We don't f*** around here, you got that s***?" The woman then asked the officer to leave. As the officer was backing out of the hallway, he drew his gun, and Swinson came out of the bedroom with a handgun equipped with a laser light. Swinson pointed the gun in the direction of the officer while the woman was standing between them. The officer fired one shot, which ricocheted off a wall and struck Swinson in the arm. The officer who fired the shot and a second officer who responded to the call then started shouting commands at Swinson while the woman pleaded for them to leave the apartment. Swinson was shot in the arm and eventually surrendered to officers. He was taken into custody after being tended to by EMS workers.

A Toledo man is facing a slew of charges after police say he led officers on a chase that ended in an injury crash with several other people in the car, including a child.

According to the Seattle Police Department (SPD), officers were completing a stolen vehicle recovery investigation near the corner of NE 47th St. and Brooklyn Ave. NE at around 4:47 p.m. on May 20 when they spotted a potential suspect on a bike. Officers followed the suspect slowly through an alleyway and used the police vehicle’s intercom to order him to stop. Ignoring their commands, the suspect pedaled off, weaving through traffic, across a parking lot and down another alleyway. An officer in a police vehicle eventually caught up with the suspect, but was unable to stop him. The officer then jumped out of his cruiser and chased the bicyclist on foot, eventually pushing the suspect off the bike and onto the ground. While arresting the 48-year-old suspect, officers found multiple pieces of evidence, including a loaded handgun. The suspect was booked into King County Jail on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and obstruction. SPD's General Investigations Unit detectives are leading the investigation. The arresting officer was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of a serious hand injury.

The Arlington Police Department released body-worn camera and dashboard camera footage on Tuesday from a May 20 incident where Arlington police shot a man during a foot chase after a crash. The video starts quite calmly. Arlington police offer to take 20-year-old Austin Taylor back to his family’s home after they called 911 following an argument. Officers asked to pat him down, asking, “You don’t have any weapons or anything on you?” Then, Taylor runs, and the situation quickly begins to escalate. A chase begins, with APD in pursuit. Arlington Police Chief Al Jones paused the video, highlighting the car Taylor was driving and a bullet hole in the front windshield. There’s a point where police follow him, ending up in the carport of a neighboring home. The scene is loud and chaotic, with the vantage points of two members of APD seen in the video. You hear one of the officers, breathing heavy, as he’s running toward the carport. Some of the commands you clearly hear in the video include: “Get out of the truck!” “Get back! Get back!” “He has a gun on him!” “Show me your hands now!” Chief Jones said Tuesday that Taylor did not fire from the carport at any point before, during or after the moments when APD officers fired multiple rounds. Taylor was shot once in the abdomen and twice in the legs. Officers are seen in the video rendering aid to Taylor. Jones emphasized that when Taylor ran from the truck he was driving, he is seen in the video carrying a gun. Chief Jones added that a gun was recovered from the carport after the shooting, as well. Arlington police later found out Taylor fired at the neighboring house before the altercation with its officers. Taylor is now charged with one count of aggravated assault on a public servant, one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of aggravated assault family violence and one count of evading. APD did not release the names of the officers involved in the shooting, who were put on administrative leave. WFAA did learn that one is a sergeant with 29 years on the force, and the other is an officer with 18 years in APD. Both officers did complete mental health training during their service. No officers were injured during the incident, Arlington police said.
