Announcer: Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Officer Winkel: My co-workers and I all have different qualities.
Some people are excellent with tactical things.
I'm a little bit more of a social worker kind of cop.
I like a lot of that digging
to get problems solved, but...
we all work together with our different qualities,
come together as one,
and solve problems as best as we can.
So, there's a white Sedan that we suspected was
in a domestic violence call yesterday.
The suspect's known to have a gun,
so we're gonna see if we can catch up to him
and see if it's him.
(Police radio chatter)
Officer Green: Yeah, we're at Lombard and Saint Louis.
We're behind a 2002 Mercedes.
There's PC for the driver yesterday...
Failed to signal for a turn.
...for allude and Criminal Mischief Two.
It's gonna be Austin...
Radio: And you got him pulled over?
He's take... Yeah, he's taking off on us.

Radio: Better carry a firearm.
Yeah, he's known to carry a gun.
From St. Louis...
(Police radio chatter)
Do you want to go-- (Police radio chatter)
He's heading to the St. John's Woods.
Radio: (Indistinct) St. John's woods.
He's bailing, he's bailing. Get someone in Pure Park.
Go, go, go, go.
Radio: I'll get somebody in Pure Park. He's bailing.
(Indistinct)
Radio: He's on foot.
He's just...
- Stop! Stop! - Stop! Don't move! You're gonna--
- Don't move! Don't move! - Put your hands behind your back.
- Don't move! - Put your hands behind your back.
On your head. There you go.
Challenging one at gunpoint.
Don't you do anything stupid.
- You understand me? - Put the gun down.
- Don't do anything stupid. - Put the gun down.
- That's not happening, Austin!
- Give him commands, give him commands. - All right. I'm sorry.
- Austin! Austin, lean over. - Why? What do you want me to do?
- Stay right there. - What do you want me to do?
I want you to slowly lean over and get on your stomach.
- Slowly. Keep your hands up. - I'm gonna do anything you guys want me to do.
- You're considered armed and dangerous! - I'm not armed!
Keep your hands up! You! Get back! Get back!
- I'm not armed! What do you want me to do? - Get on your stomach now.
With my hands on behind on my head?
Yes, just roll over on to your stomach.
Do it now.
- What's your-- - You don't gotta do nothing. I'm gonna... I'm gonna comply.
Put your arms out. Put your arms out.
Out to your sides.
- You got him, Sarge? I'll get this side. - Out to your sides.
- Put them on your back. - Go ahead and cuff him up.
- What did I do wrong? - This protocol is to arrest
you for alluding Criminal Mischief Two from yesterday.
What?
- Let me get this side. - We'll explain to you in a minute.
Hey! Hey! Tell Jerome--
- Austin, do you have any weapons on you? - No.
Is there anything on you that you shouldn't have?
We're at 61. Everybody can slow down.
- Uh... you guys can search. - I'm asking if you have any weapons on you.
You guys can search. I don't have nothing.
- Right at the entrance-- Austin: - Hey!
Call my female and tell her to bail me out!
Woman: - Okay... - Bail me out!
Switch feet. Switch feet, Austin.
- Spread your feet apart. Radio: - 12-61.
Is there anything on you you're not supposed to have on you?
There's a taser pointing at my face, Winkel.
Radio: Someone has a white Mercedes.
You had the taser pointing at my face.
- Didn't mean to. - You didn't mean to?
- Am I being charged? - You're being charged
with yesterday for allude, Criminal Mischief Two
for what happened with your girlfriend,
allude again for this...
- I ain't got nothing on me, pussy. Fuck off of me. - I gotta check.
- Get off my nut sack. What the fuck you doing? - I'm sorry. Let's switch.
I told y'all you could search my car, you pussy.
Search my cock, man.
So what happened between you and your girlfriend yesterday?
- This is what started everything. - Oh, nothing happened.
Well, what was the whole deal about, like, kick-- jumping on her car and stuff?
- I don't know. I don't know. - What?
That's why I'm asking you. That's just what I was told.
I came over there and banged on the door and asked her to come out.
- Do you know you broke the door? - I banged on it with my hand.
I was knocking loud 'cause they couldn't hear me.
- I didn't break it. I don't think I broke it. - You-- you did, dude.
Was it what? A little dent?
No, you broke the wood frame, man. You were banging on it hard.
You guys didn't find a weapon yet? I don't need no weapons.
I got these two hands, unlike you guys.
How is it your job to point that shit in my face?
- I'm doing my job. - You see me out here in these streets, I see you.
- I'm doing my job. - I see you just as much as you see me. Believe that.
Let's walk over there. Come on.
Have a seat, Austin.
It's hot in here.
Can you guys roll down a window, please?
Now, we're gonna transfer you to a different car here in just a minute, so...
- Y'all can just leave it open? - Just hang tight.
- Can you roll down a window? - I gotta drive it,
so I can't drive it with it open.
Okay, I'll meet you over there.
Yesterday, he broke down his girlfriend's door, caused some damage.
Last night, officers got into a short pursuit with him.
He was considered armed and dangerous
per his grandmother saying he had weapons on him.
Just a little bit of marijuana.
We'll have to put that in property.
This is Courtney's car.
- Yeah... - Can I release it to Courtney's mom?
Austin: No, you can't. She released it to my hand.
- Those keys don't go to Courtney. - What? Why are
- you doing that, Austin? - That's my car. It's in my bill of sale...
- She paid for it. - The bill of sale is in my name in the vehicle.
- Okay, that's fine, Austin. - It's not her vehicle.
- It's materialistic, that's fine. - I paid for it.
- I'll release it to the other woman, okay? - Yeah, that's fine.
And we'll see you in court, too.
- You'll see who, bitch? - You!
I'll call Child Support on you, you tweaker!
- I hope they don't get my keys. - Okay, I'm not--
- They don't touch those keys! - Okay, listen to me.
Grandma's coming. We got this all taken care of.
- I have your car. I have your car. - They don't get those keys!
There's engine oil leaking, so if you drive it, it'll overheat.
Okay-- No, honey, I'm gonna go park it,
- and if you want me to, I will take it to the shop. - No, can you just put it
- in your parking space, please? - Yes, I will, baby, and I'm sorry.
- There's engine oil coming out of it. - I love you, Austin.
- I love you, too. It's cool. - Okay. And I'm here for you baby, okay?
- It's cool. - I pray for you, baby.
You know I'm here, okay?
I'm so sorry.
You're not making good decisions.
You pointed a taser in my face today.
Hold on though. Let's put that aside.
You're not making good decisions, man.
Look, when we run into each other, we respect each other and--
- You pointed a taser in my face! - Hold on.
- But what I want to do is help you out. - Be equal to me!
Why are you pointing a taser in my face when I'm on the ground?
- Can you talk to me? Look at me. - I'm on the ground handcuffed
and you're pointing a taser in my face!
- That doesn't make sense, bro. - Austin, look at me, man.
What if you were on the ground and I had a Glock in your face?
I'm trying to help you out here. Stop driving like that, man.
- Just... make better decisions, all right? - (Door closes)
Austin: - Thank you. - We'll get you on your way.
-Deputy Thompson: I'm constantly asked about the scar
on the back of my hand.
We were executing a lawful search warrant
on the lower side of the county for narcotics
and I was the man with the battering ram.
And upon swinging, there was a glass inlay
that shattered and it pretty much cut
straight through the back of my hand.
To me, it's a large reminder
of the dangers of this job
and you know, how things can go wrong
in a split second.
(Siren wails)
Deputy Pennington observed an Escalade that we know.
Well known drug dealer from the other side of the county.
He's weaving in and out of traffic.
I think he spotted my vehicle back at the off ramp.
He was only supposed to go right, but he turned left.
He's weaving in and out.
He knows I'm coming for him.
I think he turned. I think he made...
the right right here. There it is.
Right here. He just wrecked.
Where'd he go? Hey, go ahead. Go ahead.
Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car.
(Reggae music plays)
Nobody in the car.
Where'd he go?
Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Where? Where you at?
Copy. You 69?
Radio: - (Indistinct) - All right.
We're headed back to the truck.
Pennington got him off of Elm Street.
67-1.
I'm gonna go back and make sure this lady up here is okay.
Dropped his hat too.
- Hey, are you all right? Woman: - I'm fine.
- Are you hurt? - No, he just scared me to death.
How bad?
I don't know if it's drivable.
- I mean, it can probably be pushed down. - Okay.
When he hit you, what-- Did he say anything
- or he just hopped out and ran? - He just hopped and ran.
I couldn't tell you what he looked like.
- That's all right. We got him. - Oh, thank you.
What-- what happened?
I came over here 'cause I figured
he was gonna go to this next street over
and as I'm looking down the road,
he runs right past my car. I get out and chase him.
Started chasing him for a little bit and he just--
- kind of just stopped. - He finally stopped and gave up.
Did he-- He pretty much recognized what was happening.
Yeah, he recognized it back there at 77th and Leesborough.
Yeah, when he decided he was gonna weave in and out of traffic,
do stupid stuff to try and get away from us.
I don't know what this dude's problem is.
This is the driver of the car here.
Someone we're very familiar with.
Someone who drives this car everywhere.
We know him all too well and he decided he wanted to run from us.
This is your unlucky day.
- You wanna talk to me? What's up? What happened? - What's up, man? Y'all--
Man, y'all keep fucking with me, man!
Why y'all keep fucking with me, man?
Why'd you want to pull me over, man?
- You meant that! - All right, well...
Well, if I remember correctly, I didn't put any blue lights on you.
You just decided you were just gonna take off.
- Man, you put blue lights on, man. You put blue lights on. - I put...
I put blue lights on so I could try to catch up to you.
- Who? Who you talkin' bout? - You!
Why'd you run?
- Who? What? - Why'd you run?
- Nah, I didn't ran. - You didn't run?
No. No, man. Y'all just keep messing with me, man.
But if I... if I notice correctly,
this is your hat.
Oh, this belongs to you?
This hat belongs to you? This hat was...
This hat was in the middle back over there,
just in the direction that you ran.
And then you ran across my partner's car back over here.
So you want to talk to me about it?
No, how 'bout you ask your partner how he just beat me the fuck up for nothing.
No, my partner didn't do anything to you.
My partner detained you because you were running from us.
Man, what are you talking about, man?
- You tell him that I ain't running-- - Why did you run?
- Do you feel like you did something wrong? - I got no fucking rights, man,
and I'm tired of going to jail.
I just went to jail for nothing, man.
I don't sell no fucking dope, man.
All I do is smoke fucking weed.
You just went to jail for having marijuana on your person.
That's what I said. All I do is smoke weed.
Y'all two motherfuckers waiting for a nigger, man.
Why? I don't know. I don't know, man.
I don't fucking know. The only thing I do is, man,
wrong is driving under suspension, man.
That's the only fucking thing I do wrong.
That's illegal. Don't-- You can't do it.
You can't drive, you can't have drugs. Don't do it!
If you're gonna drive under suspension,
you gotta be a man about yours and take your punishment, man.
If you gonna get that ticket, get that ticket.
Don't run from us, or you wreck.
You hit this person. You could've hurt her seriously.
You run, you got us chasing after you, guns out.
I mean, come on, man, for what?
- Man, I panicked. - You panicked?
I fucking panicked, man... I put this on my fucking wife, man.
I fucking panicked, man. I did.
Listen, man. Why don't you help me, man?
I'm in some real shit, man.
Help me, Mr. W-- Man, I swear, man.
Just sit tight, man. Sit tight.
Just relax. Relax.
Slow your... Slow down, all right?
This gentleman here, we know him well.
Arrested him about two weeks ago
and apparently, he just feels like
we're harassing him, but, you know, and, truth of the matter is
we know he's a well known drug dealer
in that area where he was
and on the lower side down here.
EMS check you out and everything's good?
- Yeah, I signed off. I'm good. - Okay.
So you don't need to get transported or anything like that now?
- No. - What exactly happened? Where were you...
When it happened?
I was second back from the red light
and it just turned green.
- Mm-hmm. - And Ernest was in front of me.
- He's a co-worker. - Okay.
He had turned and I'd seen traffic coming
and I heard some screeching and I stopped.
- Okay. - I just moved up just a tiny bit
- and I stopped right where I was... - Mm-hmm.
...and I'd seen he tried to make that turn
- and I knew he wasn't gonna make it. - Okay.
- And he ran right into me. - Ran right into you?
When he got out of the vehicle and ran,
- did he say anything to you? - No.
He just looked at me and took off.
And he just took off, huh? Highway's en route.
They're coming here 'cause they have to work the accident.
- Right. - So, of course, his insurance, 'cause as you can see,
he's living life large, so...
- His insurance will be able to take care of that. - Okay.
Listen, all right?
You don't have anything you wanna say?
No, man. I don't have nothing I ain't ever want to say.
Did you want to say something to the woman that you hit?
I don't want to say nothing to nobody.
- You don't want-- - I hit nobody.
- (Scoffs) Yeah. - All right then.
You know you ain't got no license,
so you know you're getting charged for driving under suspension
or whatever it might be,
you're also getting charged for failure to stop for blue lights and sirens.
Just wanted to let you know, all right?
Officer Linn: I grew up in Pocatello, Idaho.
My father was a law enforcement officer over there.
He was my role model.
So everything that my dad was doing
and how he did it, I took to heart
and ultimately followed a lot of his example.
(Police radio chatter)
So, I'm behind a vehicle right now
that's got no license plates,
but it's got what would look like a temporary registration.
It looks like it's been handmade, so...
gonna initiate a stop up here and contact the driver
and talk to him about this plate.
What's the deal with the license plate here?
You don't have one on your car.
I just got the car yesterday. It's the bill of sale.
So you have not registered it, obviously?
I haven't-- no, I have not. They were not open.
- Okay. Do you have a drivers license? - Yes, I do.
- Okay. Is it in your wallet or is it somewhere else? - It's right here.
- Are you on probation or parole right now? - No, I am not.
Okay. I see your inmate card there. Is that...
- I'm topped out. - You're topped out?
- What'd you do time for? - Forgery.
Forgery? So do you have insurance at all on the car?
No, it hasn't... hasn't gone over yet.
So, when's the last time you've done any drugs?
- Uh... it's been years. - Years?
Okay... When you were using drugs, what was it you were using?
- Uh... marijuana. - Weed? Okay.
I gotta verify the VIN on the vehicle,
so do you have any weapons on you? Real quick.
- No, I... uh... - Without reaching.
- I'm not reaching. - I'm looking to see if my knife was on my side.
- Okay, do you think you have a knife on you? - Um... might be a yes.
- Okay. So why don't you set your-- - Center... center console.
Okay, why don't you set your wallet on the dash
and just put the cigarette down on the ground.
Go ahead and stick your right hand behind your head,
your left one out the window. Your left one out the window.
- I'm just trying to figure out why-- - Okay. You're good, man.
Just go with this.
We're gonna ask you to step out.
- Just keep that hand-- - My phone fell on the floor.
Go ahead and reach down and put that phone...
I'm trying to figure out why I'm...
getting... Ouch.
All right, you're good, man.
Okay.
I got my title actually in the house right there, man.
All right. Let's come back here and sit on the front of my car, okay?
Okay.
Just have a seat right there.
- Cross your feet for me, please. Okay. - Not a problem.
So again, registration.
You made up a registration, it looks like,
or you put it on-- the date on the bill of sale.
- Is that what you're saying? - Yeah.
Okay, so I don't know if this car is legitimate or not.
Mom, can you grab my title?
Okay, so they've had it how long?
I just bought the car yesterday.
- Yesterday? Okay. - Yeah.
So I'm... I'm still trying to go through it.
I know that the people that I bought it from,
they, um, have had problems in the past.
- Drug offenses and stuff like that. - Okay.
Like, when you were saying drugs, are you saying
- like meth or what are you... You don't know? - I didn't get...
You don't know, but you have your suspicions
of the people that you bought it from,
- so I respect that. - We needed to know about things that'll hurt us.
Well, that's what I was saying. I was explaining to him.
I mean, I'm trying to clean the car.
I just bought it yesterday.
- That one's loaded. - What?
Yeah, it's got blood on it.
All right, go and turn around for me, guy.
- I smell the weed. - Smell the weed?
Just relax, just relax, okay? Just relax, okay?
- But what-- Mom! - Here. Turn and face this car.
Jesus. Fuck!
Mom: - Brad? - What?
Just relax, all right? We'll talk about it, okay?
I just bought the vehicle and everything.
Ooh. Um...
Little meth?
I honestly don't know, but okay.
Um... this is ridiculous.
- I'm being set up. - Okay. Just relax.
I already... did time.
- Why am I... Why am I... - Why don't you come back here?
- Again, man? - 2-8-5-7.
Have a seat right here on this curb.
When you did meth, how were you doing meth?
I was smokin' it and snortin' it.
- It's not-- You don't shoot it? - No.
- Never have? - No, I...
Okay.
Well, obviously a loaded syringe
is a concern of mine. Are you diabetic?
- No, I'm not. - Okay.
What would you estimate that weight at?
- I think we're at about maybe... three grams. - Three. Yeah.
Brad, let's be straight with one another, man.
- What is it? - Uh... it looks like meth to me.
Okay. How much did you pay for that little bag?
Um, I didn't pay for the bag but...
How'd you get it?
I... I honestly can't tell you how. I mean, I don't know.
- People just give it to you? - I don't...
- Brad. - I'm-- I'm being straight with you.
Obviously, you understand that's a felony offense, right?
- Yes. - Okay?
So you're gonna go to jail on the possession of controlled substance
methamphetamine tonight, for also paraphernalia.
Maybe you need a little help, man.
So, I'll be flat out honest with you.
He had a bunch of meth in his pocket.
A little over two grams. Rock.
Okay? And he had a loaded syringe
up under the seat.
It's obviously his. I mean, it's in his pocket
wrapped up in his wad of money.
- Um, so he's gonna have to go with us tonight. - Yeah.
I got an alert right here and found a cath loaded syringe
right here, which would make sense. There's odor coming from there.
Look up here.
What the hell?
I didn't do it.
You did. It was in your pocket, honey.
- No. - What is going on?
I don't... I don't know.
Brad, look at me. Look up here at me.
There was a needle--
I used-- I know. It's not...
And that stuff was in your pocket.
What the hell?
Talk to me.
- I don't know. - You know better than that.
- Yeah, I know. - You know I don't like drugs and alcohol in there.
- I know. - So what was it doing in your pocket?
I don't know.
I'll call your job. Give me a hug.
(Mumbles)
- Yeah, you're going. - I didn't...
- Hey. - (Crying)
- Thank you, ma'am. - Well, thank you.
Just let me know when I can pull that car over.
Absolutely.
When we get in the car, it's better to sit sideways.
- I've been through this a few times. - Sorry, guy.
It's not-- Like I said, it's not the end of the world,
and we'll-- we're gonna work with you, help you out a little bit here,
and hopefully we can get you some help.
132 and Bush. I've got him at gunpoint.
Dispatcher: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
Cover is Code Three.
