Suspicious Florida male batters deputy amid arrest in store parking lot, cops say. Then they pull crowbar from his waistband.



Florida deputies had their hands full after getting a call about a suspicious person in a grocery store parking lot Tuesday evening.

The Hillsborough Sheriff's Office said deputies responded after 6:30 p.m. to a Publix in Lutz after receiving reports about a male looking into vehicles throughout the parking lot.

'I mean, who doesn't keep a crowbar in their buttocks?'

When deputies attempted to investigate, 22-year-old Gonzalo Cabrera refused to identify himself, resisted deputies' attempts to detain him, and struck a deputy while attempting to flee, officials said.

The sheriff's office said the suspect was found armed with suspected burglary tools.

Even after being taken to the ground — and while in handcuffs — officials said Cabrera continued resisting and even reached for a crowbar concealed in his waistband.

Bodycam video shows deputies grabbing the crowbar, pulling it away from the suspect's hands, and throwing it to the parking lot surface.

Cabrera was arrested and faces multiple charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officer with violence, loitering or prowling, possession of burglary tools, trespass on property other than structure or conveyance, and disorderly conduct, officials said.

More than 500 comments have hit the sheriff's office Facebook post about the incident; the following are a few gems:

  • "I mean, who doesn't keep a crowbar in their buttocks?" one commenter quipped.
  • "Guy had tools, looking into cars? Maybe he's a mechanic??!!" another user offered.
  • "I was at the Publix when he was walking around," another commenter said. "It was very odd. He was walking in between cars, looking around, very sketchy. I have no clue how long he was there — but 2 employees were watching him. One of the employees walked me to my car — the guy was right by it until we walked over ..."
  • "Dems will set up a GoFundMe for his release. LOL," another user predicted.
  • "Just another loser lowlife drain on society," another commenter noted.

New bodycam video shows sheriff's deputies fatally shooting knife-wielding male who authorities say stabbed deputy



Newly released bodycam video from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows deputies fatally shooting a knife-wielding male who authorities said stabbed a deputy last month in a Lancaster parking lot.

The video was released Tuesday; the incident occurred June 20 after deputies responded to a 911 call, KABC-TV reported.

'Stop reaching.'

"Hey, I just want to make a report of a guy with some knives, swinging them in public," the caller told a dispatcher, KABC said, citing an audio recording the sheriff's department released.

Surveillance video shows three sheriff patrol vehicles arriving at the scene, the station said, adding that authorities said the suspect — identified as Robert Castro — is seen in the video walking away from the deputies and across a parking lot.

"Before Deputy #1's patrol vehicle came to a stop, Castro turned and rapidly walked in the deputy's direction," the sheriff's department said in a statement, according to KABC. "Castro then ran at Deputy #1, drew a knife, stabbed the deputy, and Deputy #1 discharged his service weapon."

A second deputy also opened fire and then checked on the other deputy, who was bleeding from a stab wound, authorities said, according to the station.

Investigators said the body camera video shows Castro removing a knife from his pocket before the stabbing, KABC reported.

Following the initial confrontation, the second deputy is heard ordering Castro not to move, the station said.

"When Castro moves his hand, Deputy #2 commands him to 'Stop reaching,'" the sheriff's department said, according to KABC, adding that the second deputy then opens fire.

Castro was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, the station reported, adding that the injured deputy also was taken to a hospital and treated for the stab wound.

Authorities said Castro was in possession of three knives at the time of the incident, KABC noted.

"Following notification of this incident, DOJ's California Police Shooting Investigation Team initiated an investigation in accordance with AB1506 mandates," California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office said in a statement last week, KABC reported.

After the state's Department of Justice investigation is complete, it will be turned over to the department's Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division for independent review, the station said, citing a news release.

Drug suspect's vehicle lands on top of cop's windshield during chase — and wild police video captures how it all went down



Georgia police video captured how a drug suspect's vehicle ended up on top of a cop's windshield during a chase last week.

The Sandy Springs Police Department Street Crimes Unit on Friday assisted the Homeland Security Investigations Atlanta Field Office with the apprehension of Jorge Luis Delgado-Bermudez, who was wanted on Fulton County drug charges, including methamphetamine and cocaine offenses, police said.

'Georgia is another breed.'

The suspect also has ties to a larger criminal organization and is facing federal charges, police said.

As officers attempted to safely box in the suspect's vehicle near the 8100 block of Colquitt Road, the suspect's vehicle struck a concrete barrier, which caused its rear end to lift and land on top of a Sandy Springs Police patrol vehicle, police said.

With that, the suspect exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot but was quickly taken into custody without further incident, police said.

No officers or members of the public were injured, police added.

WAGA-TV reported that officials haven't yet confirmed the name of the larger criminal organization allegedly tied to Delgado-Bermudez.

The station added that authorities haven't released the time the collision took place or where the suspect is being held.

More than 500 commenters (and counting) offered their perspectives on the unorthodox arrest under the police department's Facebook post about the incident:

  • "And he STILL tried to run!!!" one commenter noted.
  • "Georgia is another breed," another user declared. "Never run from the cops there; if Sandy Springs doesn't get you, [state police] will total 10 cruisers to catch you."
  • "I got got a feeling [state police] goes through more cruisers than Rosco P. [Coltrane] and Cletus," another commenter said, invoking characters from "The Dukes of Hazzard."
  • "Is it me, or did the crunching of cars and glass sound just like 'We Will Rock You?'" a Queen fan wondered.
  • "Almost hit the goose," another commenter observed.
  • "'You got the wrong one' as he's actively running," another user said.
  • "Hey insurance, a car just flew into my windshield," another commenter quipped.
  • "Hey sarge, so what had happened was ..." another user joked.
  • "The new and improved Pit Maneuver!!!" another commenter exclaimed.
  • "I don't think he's going anywhere now," another user said.
  • "Yeah, dispatch, I just pulled under the vehicle!" another commenter wrote.
  • "Dude, that's not a parking spot," another user joked.

Video: Suspect opens fire on Texas SWAT team serving arrest warrant; but cops shoot back — 1 right through his own windshield



The San Antonio Police Department over the weekend released video of an officer-involved shooting that occurred last month.

Police said just after 5 p.m. June 16, four SWAT officers responded to execute an arrest warrant.

'Strong work; I pray for a speedy recovery of the officer and a speedy trial and conviction of the perp.'

Officers arrived in an unmarked vehicle and located the suspect inside his parked vehicle, police said, adding that officers pulled up in front of the suspect's vehicle and saw he was holding a gun.

Police said the suspect then began shooting at the officers.

With that, all four officers discharged their firearms numerous times, police said.

The police video of the shootout is below:

During the shootout, the suspect as well as one officer were struck by gunfire, police said, adding that both the officer and the suspect were taken to a hospital for treatment.

No bystanders were injured, police said.

The 35-year-old suspect — Roman Pena — was charged with four counts of aggravated assault against a peace officer, police said.

The officers involved have eight to nine years of service with the San Antonio Police Department, officials said, adding that the department's Shooting Team and Internal Affairs Unit are conducting separate, concurrent inquiries.

In addition, police said that as with all officer-involved shootings, the District Attorney's Office is reviewing this incident.

As you might imagine, a number of observers who viewed the police video had things to say about what went down. The following are a few highlights:

  • "Strong work; I pray for a speedy recovery of the officer and a speedy trial and conviction of the perp," one commenter wrote.
  • "Agg[ravated] assault?" another commenter asked. "How about attempted murder. Ridiculous."
  • "We have THE best SWAT team," another commenter declared. "Great job, men."
  • "GOT 'EM!!!!" another commenter exclaimed. "F**K HOMICIDAL CRIMINALS!!!"

Yet another violent Florida 'teen takeover' leads to arrests of suspects as young as 12, officials say



Yet another violent Florida "teen takeover" has led to the arrests of suspects as young as 12, officials said.

Tampa Police officers arrested 22 people in connection with the Friday-night incident in the area of Curtis Hixon Park, which police said resulted in "significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park."

'Unfortunately, the poor decisions made by these 22 individuals last night could have lasting consequences that follow them well into adulthood.'

Police said arrestees were charged with crimes ranging from affray, possession of narcotics, and resisting arrest to unlawful possession of a weapon. A state statute defines "affray" — a first-degree misdemeanor — as engaging "by mutual consent, in fighting with another person in a public place to the terror of the people." Officers also seized two firearms and one vehicle connected with the disturbance, police said.

Police said patrol officers, bike units, and Air Service personnel responded to the incident; much of the response was captured on video.

Police also listed the following descriptions of each arrested individual:

  • 12-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black female): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drugs without a prescription
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Possession of a Controlled Substance and affray
  • 14-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 14-year-old (black male): Affray and resisting an officer with violence
  • 15-year-old (black male): Affray and ROWV
  • 15-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 15-year-old (black male): ROWV
  • 15-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 16-year-old (black male): Affray and ROWV
  • 16-year-old (black male): Affray, ROWV, and possession of a controlled substance
  • 16-year-old (black female): Affray and ROWV
  • 17-year-old (black male): ROWV
  • 17-year-old (black male): Possession of a controlled substance and obstructing a highway
  • 18-year-old Rodrico Boyd (white male): Possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia
  • 20-year-old Don McAllister (black male): Possession of cannabis under 20g, possession of cannabis sativa resin, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony
  • 20-year-old Michael Ashford (black male): Fleeing to elude and ROWV
  • 21-year-old Yarli Smith (black male): Affray

Bodycam video shows one officer approaching a large group of brawling individuals while others are seen recording the violent chaos on their cell phones. Video also was recorded from the air that depicts the large scope of the violence.

"This type of reckless and criminal behavior will not be tolerated in our city," Chief of Police Lee Bercaw said. "What began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk. Parents need to know where their children are and who they are with. Unfortunately, the poor decisions made by these 22 individuals last night could have lasting consequences that follow them well into adulthood. The Tampa Police Department remains committed to being one of the safest major cities in the nation, and we will continue taking strong enforcement action against anyone who threatens the peace and safety of our community."

Just last month, fights erupted and sheriff's deputies were hurt after more than 1,000 teenagers descended upon ICON Park in Orlando as part of a planned "takeover."

Indeed, Tampa Police added that with summer approaching, the growing "takeover" trend has become a concern for communities across the country — not just in Tampa.

Florida mom accused of kicking youth football player on field; during arrest she actually screams, 'I'm the one who got hit!'



A Florida mother is accused of kicking a youth football player on the field during a game, and she actually screamed, "I'm the one who got hit!" during her arrest.

Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies on Saturday responded to the game at Brooks Park in Fort Myers after they "became aware of a large brawl located in the middle of the field," NBC News reported, citing Detective Nicholas Cittadino's arrest report.

'They said you hit a kid!'

Parents ran onto the field to intervene, and a witness reported seeing a woman repeatedly kicking a juvenile male, NBC News said, citing the report.

The news network added that, according to the report, witnesses "quickly identified a white female who was leaving the area to have been a suspect of a battery on a juvenile."

Renee Lynn Lambert, 34, was booked on suspicion of cruelty to a child without great bodily harm and resisting an officer, the news network said, citing the report.

The sheriff's office identified Lambert as a "mother" who was "interfering with a Pop Warner youth football game and kicking a juvenile player."

Sheriff's office bodycam video of Lambert's arrest shows her arguing with deputies.

"So you're mad at them for hitting me?" Lambert, dressed in a football jersey, asked.

"I'm mad at an adult for attacking a kid," a male, presumably a deputy, responded. "Stop! You're detained right now!"

"No, I'm not," Lambert replied. "Goodbye."

An apparent struggle ensued, and Lambert is heard on video hollering, "Get your hands off me! I'm the one who got hit!"

Lambert appeared to identify her attacker as a player wearing a No. 9 jersey.

"So where's No. 9? Go get No. 9!" Lambert argued, presumably about one of the football players.

As Lambert is led away in handcuffs, the male speaking behind the bodycam video is heard telling her, "They said you hit a kid!"

But Lambert shot back, "And the kid hit me!"

The sheriff's office said that while Lambert "claimed a child hit her with a helmet prompting her to fight back," officials added that her claim "was later disproven."

NBC News, citing the arrest report, said at least one witness, identified as Andre Valdes, backed up a player's allegation that he was on the ground when Lambert kicked him in the leg.

The news network said Lambert couldn't immediately be reached for comment at publicly listed phone numbers and email addresses associated with her.

Lambert's jail records indicate she was booked Saturday at 8:47 p.m. and released Sunday at 12:20 p.m.

There was no bond information, but her next hearing is scheduled for June 1, jail data shows.

Unhinged man bites police dog while resisting arrest; cops say man became disruptive amid operation he wasn't even part of



A man was caught on police bodycam video biting an Alabama police dog while resisting arrest last week — and cops said the suspect just showed up and became disruptive during an operation he wasn't even part of.

The Florence Police Department said the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant in the 200 block of North Locust Street in Florence on Wednesday.

'I can tell you what I had a concern of, and of course, all of the citizens. Those are most of my calls in regard to what happened. It’s all about the dog biting him and when the dog was sicced on him.'

Police said the Florence-Lauderdale SWAT team and the Florence Police Department K-9 Unit assisted.

However, during the execution of the warrant, police said 46-year-old David Culliver arrived on scene.

Believe it or not, police said Culliver wasn't involved in the investigation and actually "inserted himself into the situation."

What's more, cops said Culliver "became belligerent, yelled at officers, and stepped into an active roadway with flowing traffic."

Police said an officer ordered Culliver several times to get out of the roadway so a vehicle wouldn't hit him.

However, cops said Culliver re-entered the roadway and continued disrupting traffic.

At that point, officers told Culliver he was being placed under arrest.

But as officers attempted to handcuff him, police said Culliver pulled away and resisted multiple officers as they tried to place him under arrest.

Soon, a Florence Police K-9 was deployed to help take Culliver into custody.

But Culliver grabbed one of the K-9's legs and bit the K-9, police said.

Officers struck Culliver to get him to release the K-9, cops noted.

Culliver then was taken to the ground and placed in handcuffs, police said, adding that he was taken to a hospital for treatment of K-9 puncture wounds and then booked into the Lauderdale County Detention Center. Police did not detail what, if any, injuries the K-9 may have suffered.

Police released video of the incident showing two bodycam angles; the clip from Officer Two showing the struggle between the suspect and the K-9 begins at the 11:27 mark in the video below. You also can view the full video from Officer Two here.

Content warning: Explicit language.

Police said Culliver was being charged for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and interfering with a police dog.

Police said Culliver's bond was set at $2,500; Culliver was not listed as an inmate, according to jail records accessed Monday afternoon.

Police added that "this footage captures the entirety of the encounter, as opposed to the brief clip currently circulating on social media. Shortened videos shared online often present only a limited perspective and may not fully show the sequence of events. Viewing the complete footage is essential to understanding the full context of the situation and ensuring an accurate representation of what occurred."

Police also said the incident "has been thoroughly reviewed, and the use of force applied has been determined to be justified."

However, Florence City Council President Kaytrina Simmons said several community members reached out to her in anger over the officers' actions, according to WAFF-TV.

Simmons told the station that even after considering the police perspective on the incident, the use of the K-9 is troubling to her: "I'm not a police officer. I can tell you what I had a concern of, and of course, all of the citizens. Those are most of my calls in regard to what happened. It's all about the dog biting him and when the dog was sicced on him."

Video: Check out what led to motorist taking down domestic violence strangulation suspect on the run from cops



Las Vegas police bodycam and helicopter video shows what led to a motorist taking down a domestic violence strangulation suspect earlier this month.

Police said officers on March 10 responded to a domestic violence incident involving a reported strangulation.

'This video highlights how coordination from the air, rapid response on the ground, and the courage of community members can make all the difference.'

As officers were working to locate the suspect, he fled — leading to a "dangerous series of events" near West Desert Inn Road and South Decatur Boulevard, police said.

Police said the department's Air Unit tracked the suspect as he drove erratically through the area — and then moments later the suspect crashed, which led to a foot chase.

Police said two citizens, witnessing the chaos unfold, took action and used their vehicles to help block in and stop the suspect.

Video shows one of the assisting motorists exiting his vehicle, grabbing the suspect from behind, and taking him down to the ground.

Police said the suspect fled from a domestic dispute involving strangulation, and approximately five vehicles were involved in the crash.

Police said that "this video highlights how coordination from the air, rapid response on the ground, and the courage of community members can make all the difference."

"We are grateful for a community that steps up to help keep one another safe," police added.

Police stop bicycle-riding male for traffic violation; turns out he has a gun and then runs from cop. It doesn't end well.



Police in Dayton, Ohio, have released body camera video showing an officer stopping a male on a bicycle for a traffic violation — but it turns out he had a gun, ran from police, and was fatally shot amid a struggle for the weapon.

The male was identified as Reginald Thomas, 44, WHIO-TV reported, citing the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and Dayton Police Department.

'He's got a gun! He's got a gun!'

The incident occurred just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the area of N. St. Clair and E. Third Streets, the station said.

Police Chief Kamran Afzal on Wednesday said an officer was on routine patrol and saw Thomas, who was riding a bicycle, commit a traffic violation and stopped him, WHIO noted.

Thomas kept trying to show the officer his ID even though he wasn't asked to show it, police told the station.

The officer then asked Thomas if he had a weapon, WHIO noted, adding that Thomas in the bodycam video can be heard denying he had a weapon.

The bodycam video then shows Thomas jumping off his bike and running from the officer.

The officer soon catches up to Thomas and takes him to the ground, the video shows.

The bodycam video shows that Thomas appears to have a gun in his hand, WHIO reported.

Indeed, the officer begins yelling, "He's got a gun! He's got a gun!"

After a struggle, the officer points his gun at Thomas and orders him to drop his weapon, the station said, adding that Thomas complies, and the officer re-holsters his gun.

However, when the officer attempted to handcuff Thomas, he fought the officer — and in the new struggle, the officer and Thomas began moving toward the gun that Thomas had just dropped, WHIO said.

The station added that the bodycam video appeared to show Thomas again reaching for and gripping the weapon, the station said.

Police provided post-incident images showing the recovered gun and loaded magazine as well as a mugshot of Thomas indicating his previous convictions for resisting arrest, assault, and aggravated menacing.

Man in mental health crisis grabs cop's gun, pulls trigger as he's being restrained; another officer opens fire: Officials



The Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Rochester police officers and a Crisis Response Team social worker were called to an apartment in the 1900 block of Ashland Drive Northwest around 9:30 p.m. March 11 on a report that a man was experiencing a mental health crisis.

Officers and social workers arrived and spoke to the man in his apartment, the bureau said, adding that an adult female and multiple children also were present.

The bureau said White 'grabbed an officer’s firearm during the struggle and pulled the trigger, causing the gun to fire.'

Officers and the social worker noted that the man was acting erratically and paranoid, and they concluded that he possibly was a threat to himself and others, the bureau said.

Authorities decided to place the man — later identified as 47-year-old Cleavon White — on a 72-hour mental health hold and told him he would be transported to a hospital, the bureau said.

After White refused to go, officers then attempted to take him into custody, the bureau said.

But White resisted and a struggle ensued, the bureau said.

Image source: Rochester (Minn.) Police Department bodycam video screenshot

The bureau said White "grabbed an officer’s firearm during the struggle and pulled the trigger, causing the gun to fire."

Police bodycam video of the incident — which can be viewed here — recorded the moment when the officer shouted, "He's grabbing my gun!"

Seconds later, another officer fired five shots, according to the bodycam video.

The bureau said the shots struck White, after which officers immediately rendered medical aid until an ambulance arrived and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In the aftermath of the shooting, someone is heard on the bodycam video asking where the gun is, and someone else — presumably the officer who shouted, "He's grabbing my gun!" — is heard saying, "It's still in my holster."

No officers were injured, the bureau said.

Officer Josiah Duit — who has three years of law enforcement experience — fired his department-issued firearm, the bureau said, adding that the Rochester Police Department placed Duit on critical incident leave.

A March 12 news release from Rochester Police said the then-unidentified man grabbed one officer’s firearm during the struggle, but it did not indicate he pulled the trigger. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension issued it's report March 17. The police bodycam video was released Wednesday.

The bureau said the Rochester Police Department requested that it investigate the use of force, and the bureau will present its findings without recommendation on charges to the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office for review.
