Wild police video: Cops ram car driven by female armed robbery suspect — who actually tries to run away after freeway crash



In a wild police video out of Georgia last week, cops are seen ramming a car that was driven by a female armed robbery suspect — and she actually tried to run away after the jaw-dropping crash on an interstate.

Atlanta police said the department's Auto Crimes Enforcement Unit on Wednesday assisted the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office in locating a vehicle and an armed robbery suspect accused of stealing an elderly woman's cell phone.

The suspect quickly gets out of the vehicle and makes a run for it, hopping over the freeway divider.

Atlanta police said officers found the vehicle and the suspect. Video shows them catching up to the suspect in a car wash:

And an officer is even seen drawing his gun as police tell her "hands up!" and "don't drive away!"

But the suspect backed out of the car wash bay and fled from police, after which a pursuit ensued.

WAGA-TV said the pursuit continued on Interstate 285. Atlanta police said officers utilized a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit. Indeed, video shows a patrol vehicle hitting the left bumper of the suspect's car, which spins out and travels backward along the left shoulder and freeway divider until it comes to a stop.

Police said the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office was the arresting agency and charged Johnson with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, theft by receiving stolen property, and fleeing or attempting to elude police. She also was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon or first-offender probationer.

Watch: Oklahoma police officer smashes through fence, makes flying tackle to apprehend suspect in thrilling bodycam video



An Oklahoma police officer has gone viral after bodycam video was released of him doing everything in his power to apprehend a suspect – including smashing through a fence.

A 20-year-old suspect led officers on a wild police chase last month.

Police dashcam video shows an officer in hot pursuit of a silver sedan speeding down a road. At one point, the sedan nearly collides with a white pickup truck in an intersection.

Police bodycam video shows the suspect ditching his car after a crash and jumping over a fence in a residential area.

An officer is seen on bodycam footage climbing to the top of the fence to deploy his taser at the man on the run, but the suspect escapes.

A second officer with the Moore Police Department sneaks through a hole in the dilapidated fence.

A third police officer – identified as Sgt. Justin Sternberg – is seen sprinting to the crime scene before lowering his shoulder and barreling through the fence. Despite smashing through the fence, the officer doesn't lose a beat and chases after the suspect.

Police bodycam footage shows the two officers climbing over another fence.

Officer Sternberg jumps over two more fences.

The thrilling video shows Sternberg climbing to the top of a fence and making a flying tackle on the suspect. Sternberg and the suspect allegedly both got tased at the end of the confrontation.

The suspect is then arrested for allegedly stealing a vehicle. Police said they found a firearm and a bag of marijuana in the stolen vehicle.

Sternberg told KOCO-TV, "It was run through it or try to climb it, and I think trying to climb it would have taken more time. So, in my head, 'Just run through it.' I had to jump another fence to another fence to take him into custody. As I did jump the fence, I ended up getting tased. So, we were both getting tased at the same time."

As far as the now-broken fence that Sternberg plowed through, the Moore Police Department said, "The family will work with us and the city to get the repairs done."

Clint Byley, with the Moore Police Department, stated: "We did make an attempt to talk with the homeowners. As of last check, I don't know if we've made physical contact with them yet, but they're more than welcome to come to the police department to talk about what happened. And then, we can get them into contact with the city if they don't have the ability to do that themselves."

Sternberg offered to help the family fix the broken fence.

"I'm sorry. If I need to come out and fix it, I will. I can help," Sternberg said.

Thug allegedly robs woman at gunpoint for pair of shoes. The whole thing ends rather painfully for him.



Things ended painfully for a male who allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint for a pair of shoes Saturday night in Oklahoma City, as he crashed his car into a pole amid a police chase.

What are the details?

Police said the victim was trying to sell her red and silver Balenciaga shoes on Offer Up, and an individual with the username "Turbo" — later identified as 21-year-old Taber Carter — contacted her, KOKH-TV reported.

According to the New York Post, the shoes usually cost more than $1,000 new:

— (@)

The victim reported that she and Carter agreed to meet at a 7-Eleven, but Carter never showed up, the station said.

The victim and her mother then went to a T-Mobile store on Northwest Expressway when Carter messaged the victim asking where she was, KOKH said.

Police said Carter met the victim at T-Mobile, and when the victim walked up to Carter's vehicle, he pulled out a black "Glock-like" pistol, pointed it at the victim's head, and demanded the shoes, the station said.

The victim said she gave him the shoes but was able to reach into the car and take one shoe back as Carter was driving away, KOKH reported.

Carter turned back to demand the other shoe, but the victim told him she'd already locked it inside her car, the station said, citing the police report, and Carter drove off.

What happened next?

Two hours later, police were called to perform a welfare check, KOTV-TV reported. Turns out Carter was passed out in a car that matched the description of the shoe robbery suspect's vehicle, KOTV said.

When officers awakened Carter, they said he drove away, which triggered a police pursuit, KOTV reported.

Alas, Carter crashed into a pole near Northwest 36th Street and Meridian Avenue, KOTV noted, which caused a power outage in the area as well as a small grass fire that was quickly extinguished.

Carter was taken into custody and booked into jail, KOTV said.

Jail records indicate he was charged with endangering others while eluding police as well as robbery or attempted with a dangerous weapon. Carter remained in jail Wednesday afternoon.

The Post, citing police, said Carter also was injured — with his mugshot showing his right eye swollen shut as well as numerous scrapes on his right forehead and nose. The paper said Carter is being held with no bail.

Police warned those who meet others in person for transactions to do so in public places with lots of cameras, such as police stations.

Cops ram carjacked vehicle, which spins and slams into 66-year-old woman crossing street, sending her flying into curb



Video caught the moment police in Torrance, California, rammed a carjacked vehicle, which went into a spin and slammed into a 66-year-old woman carrying grocery bags across a street Thursday, sending her flying into a curb.

What are the details?

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told Torrance police around 12:50 p.m. that deputies were chasing a carjacking suspect who had stolen several cars, according to a City of Torrance news release, and that the suspect had entered Torrance. Torrance is about a half-hour southwest of Los Angeles.

Torrance police learned a minute later that the suspect entered a parking structure at the Del Amo Fashion Center — and around 12:55 p.m., a woman reported a carjacking near the area where the pursuit suspect was last seen.

Police around that time said they spotted a male suspect driving the carjacked vehicle — a silver Prius — as it left the Del Amo Fashion Center, and police said they began chasing the driver.

Video shows the fleeing driver speeding on the wrong side of the street and going through stoplights before hopping a curb and knocking down a pole, KNBC-TV reported.

Police said a Torrance officer struck the vehicle near Vermont Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard, and the vehicle in turn struck a pedestrian. Video shows the pedestrian flying backward into a curb after she was struck.

After a brief foot pursuit, police said they arrested the suspect without incident and released him to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which was the originating agency.

Police said Torrance officers spoke to the carjacking victim and the woman who was struck at the intersection and that no serious injuries were reported at the time. Police added that the woman who was struck refused emergency medical services treatment at the scene and departed voluntarily. Torrance police said they were later told she went to a hospital.

Woman who was struck and her daughter speak out

"I was crossing the street, and I don’t remember anything," Maria Salazar, the woman who was struck, told Telemundo52, according to KNBC. "I just felt the impact."

Salazar's daughter, Diana, said she's still trying to figure out things, KNBC noted: "I don't know why they were chasing him. The urgency of stopping him. I don't know if they saw my mom."

Torrance police added to KNBC that all officers are trained in PIT maneuvers. The acronym stands for Precision Immobilization Technique, which "consists of applying lateral pressure to the rear quarter panel of the fleeing target vehicle resulting in a predictable spin-out action of the target vehicle." Police did not indicate in the news release that a PIT maneuver occurred.

The carjacking suspect's identity, along with other details about him, were not immediately available, KNBC noted.

Atlanta police chase ends with cop car on top of suspect's crushed, overturned Jeep

Atlanta police chase ends with cop car on top of suspect's crushed, overturned Jeep



A police chase through Cobb County, Georgia, ended with a police car landing on top of the suspect's overturned vehicle in midtown Atlanta.

The chase included the Narcotics and Intelligence Unit, which was chasing a suspect in a gray Jeep Gladiator. The suspect reportedly fled through county streets until eventually getting on the interstate into Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Cobb County Police supervisor Lieutenant Ramirez reportedly stated that the high-speed chase started after reports of an "aggravated assault on an officer." Police began the pursuit of the suspect before the driver fled, eventually hitting two cars while driving northbound in an attempt to evade authorities.

The driver reportedly continued fleeing and even rear-ended a third vehicle, Atlanta News First said.

A cell phone video showed the Jeep speeding down the interstate followed by several police cars. It wasn't long after that when a Cobb County police officer used the precision immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver, to end the chase.

Troopers reportedly stated that the Jeep rolled onto its roof due to the driving technique, with the patrol car landing on top. Pictures and footage from the crime scene showed the police car with just one wheel on the ground and the Jeep overturned with its roof crushed underneath.

Neither the driver's charges nor his identity were released, however it was reported that he was taken to hospital for minor injuries.

The crash blocked all lanes on Howell Mill Road for at least two hours as debris was pictured scattered across the road.

"This is something I have never really seen before in my eight years of reporting," reporter Tori Cooper stated. "A police car on top of another car ..." she added in disbelief.

The Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna Narcotics & Intelligence Unit, a multi-jurisdictional task force targeting narcotics and other organized crime, was on-scene at the incident, along with other police precincts. However, the specific nature of the crimes behind the car chase were not made available.

Alive 11 also reported that Georgia State Police did not say whether any law enforcement officials were hurt during the incident.

Nashville police chief's 'estranged' rapist son found dead after allegedly shooting two cops and going on the run



Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake's estranged son made the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's most-wanted list this week after allegedly shooting two La Vergne police officers. The manhunt for the convicted rapist ended Tuesday night with a "muffled gunshot."

Blaze News previously reported that La Vergne Police officers were investigating a report of a possible stolen vehicle when they encountered 38-year-old John C. Drake Jr. outside a Dollar General. The LVPD indicated that after a brief struggle, Drake pulled a handgun and shot officers Ashley Boleyjack and Gregory Kern, then fled the scene.

The officers were both taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and have since been released.

Following the shooting, the LVPD advised residents to shelter in place, and the TBI put out a statewide Blue Alert, noting that Drake was "armed and extremely dangerous."

The shooting was not the only reason to suspect that Drake posed a threat to the public. He had an extensive criminal record, having been hit with nearly 60 criminal charges in Davidson County since 2005. He had been convicted of numerous crimes, including aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, rape, multiple sex offender registration violations, and felony strangulation.

Chief Drake stated Saturday, "Despite my efforts and guidance in the early and teenage years, my son, John Drake Jr., now 38 years old, resorted to years of criminal activity and is a convicted felon. ... He now needs to be found and held accountable for his actions today."

The days-long manhunt culminated in a hot pursuit Tuesday evening.

The Metro Nashville Police Department indicated that John C. Drake stole a 2013 gold Chrysler 200 sedan at gunpoint around 6 p.m. on Tuesday. He had initially approached a man outside a duplex in the 100 block of Antioch Pike, asking for a ride. When the man told the rapist he didn't drive, Drake glimpsed a neighbor sitting in her sedan.

According to police, Drake opened the door of the Chrysler and asked the 23-year-old female occupant for a ride. When she declined, claiming she was running low on gas, Drake brandished his pistol and ordered her out of the car. He commandeered the vehicle, then drove toward Nolensville Pike.

After an MNPD investigator spotted the car on Thompson Place at Patricia Drive, ground units with MNPD air support swooped in to apprehend the suspect.

The street chase terminated at 8:01 p.m. when Drake smashed into a parked vehicle on Villa Place. With ground units hot on his tail and an MNPD chopper overhead, Drake made a run for it. He bolted through multiple yards, then attempted to hide in the backyard shed of a home in the 1400 block of 15th Avenue South.

With nowhere left to run and police forming a perimeter around the property, Drake apparently put a gun to his head.

The TBI noted that responding officers "heard a muffled gunshot from an outbuilding and subsequently found Drake deceased from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Unlike La Vergne Police Officers Ashley Boleyjack and Gregory Kern, Drake didn't survive the shot.

"It was my prayer that no harm would come to him or anyone else. I am heartbroken and saddened by the outcome," Chief John Drake said in a statement. "I appreciate the condolences and kind words of support as my family and I privately mourn our loss."

The MNPD chief added, "I am grateful to the members of law enforcement, including many officers from this department, who worked diligently since Saturday to locate my son and bring him into custody."

TBI agents will investigate the rapist's death and perform a full autopsy at the request of 20th Judicial District Attorney General Glenn Funk.

LVPD Chief Christopher Moews issued a statement Tuesday, saying, "The La Vergne community and our heroic officers can rest easy tonight knowing that the manhunt for John Drake, Jr. is over. We want to thank all of the officers who were involved in tonight's pursuit for their steadfastness and dedication to seeing this case through to the end."

Moews added, "Our prayers are with Chief Drake and his family."

The LVPD chief further indicated that both of the officers who had been shot are now at home recovering from their injuries. He stressed that the assistance the La Verge Fire Department provided to the downed officers in the aftermath of the shooting was lifesaving.

Suspect tries to flee Phoenix police by leaping rooftop to rooftop. When that fails, he tries to outrun a K-9 unit.



A suspect took a police chase to the rooftops of Phoenix Tuesday evening. Despite some bold moves, he was ultimately brought down by gravity and a particularly eager K-9 unit.

Police indicated in a statement obtained by KSAZ-TV that Jamie Chavira's downfall Tuesday began when he allegedly failed to stop his vehicle for police in the area of 38th Avenue and Mobile Lane.

"The vehicle failed to yield to a traffic stop and felony flight was established," said the statement. "Officers did not initiate a pursuit of the vehicle. Rather, it was tracked to the area of 35th Avenue and Roeser Street."

Chavira, 19, was reportedly seen in the area jumping into the back yard of several homes as well as climbing onto a number of rooftops.

Christelle Kouam Chuene was at home with her three sleeping children when she heard the commotion.

Chuene told KSAZ, "When I looked out my window, I saw somebody jumping house to house. ... I saw him jumping from one house to the other one. It was so crazy. It was really cray and scary."

"I just saw the guy jumping like a monkey," she added. "He seems like he knew what he was doing."

Evidently, Chavira didn't know how to do it successfully.

The final moments of the chase were captured by Chuene's Ring doorbell camera.

The footage shows the shirtless suspect illuminated by a helicopter's search light atop the roof of a West Phoenix home near 35th Avenue and Roeser Road. Several officers can be seen closing in below with nonlethal weapons at the ready.

Undaunted by what appears to be a gap at least 10 feet wide, Chavira leaps toward the neighboring roof. Lacking the luck and grace necessary to traverse the divide, he lands between the houses.

Though grounded, Chavira is not yet willing to surrender. Instead, he pushes aside the blue bin that helped break his fall and makes a mad dash past police, through a hail of nonlethal rounds, and across the driveway of the neighboring house. Again, he is thwarted by his own ineptitude.

This time, he loses his footing, stumbles, then finds himself fighting the jaws of the law.

A K-9 unit got its teeth into what appears to be his hand. It thrashes its fleshy ransom until police officers are able to make the arrest.

According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Chavira was charged with two counts of transportation violations and at least one count of criminal trespass and burglary. KSAZ indicated he has also been charged with resisting arrest.

Following his arrest, he was taken to a hospital to be treated for a dog bite, according to police.

Video shows deputy narrowly dodge death by dropping under suspect's crashing car: 'Talk about nine lives'



A Dorchester County sheriff's officer had a close shave last month when a crashing car, the driver of which was allegedly set on his demise, rolled right over him.

Sgt. Lawrence Hill was looking to stop a suspect who had been speeding perilously through Summerville, South Carolina, on Sept. 19, reported the Post and Courier.

The suspect in question, 54-year-old Roger Quentin Hill — who is not related to the sergeant — led deputies on a chase through the county, allegedly hitting speeds of up to 100 mph, according to an incident report.

Robert Quentin Hill - Dorchester County Jail

An officer initially tried to stop the suspect west of Summerville after noticing an expired registration sticker, but Quentin Hill allegedly refused to stop.

WCSC-TV reported that the suspect unsuccessfully attempted to hit the officer, then began weaving through traffic and forcing other cars off the road. Fifteen minutes later, after reportedly realizing he couldn't escape the neighborhood, Quentin Hill encountered Sgt. Hill off Scotch Orange Road.

In footage captured by another deputy's dashboard camera, Sgt. Hill's cruiser can be seen parked off to the side of the road. In the ditch on the opposite side, Hill waits with a spike strip ready. As the suspect's Jaguar sedan's closes in, Sgt. Hill throws the spikes. However, the driver veers off the road toward the deputy.

Sgt. Hill vanishes under the sedan as it catches a piece of a utility pole at the last moment, toppling it and yanking down live wires. The sedan then rolls right over the deputy, throwing shrapnel and dust into the air.

As the deputy whose cruiser captured the footage rushes to the scene of the smoking wreck, Sgt. Hill can be seen standing and walking away from the wake of destruction.

One officer rushes the suspect's vehicle with his gun drawn, ordering Quentin Hill to put his hands up.

The Post and Courier indicated that Sgt. Hill was taken to hospital with bruises and an injured shoulder.

"He's lucky to be alive," said Lt. Rick Carson. "Talk about nine lives."

Quentin Hill was charged with attempted murder, failure to stop for blue lights, destruction of an electric pole, and driving with a suspended license. He was denied bond on account of the attempted murder charge.

Ohio traffic stop goes sideways after couple takes a trucker hostage, then leads police on a 3-hour police chase, ending in gunfire and blood



Police pulled over a couple in a Dodge Caravan Wednesday morning after noticing they had been speeding through Ohio without taillights or visible registration. What might otherwise have gone down as a commonplace encounter quickly escalated into a bloody standoff.

Bodycam footage shows an officer from the London Police Department stopping the couple around 1 a.m. in Madison County, then approaching the van on the passenger's side.

"I just came from the ER," the 51-year-old female passenger told the officer, while her compatriot feigned shock about the lack of lights.

The officer indicated that "not a single light back there" was functioning, but reassured the couple they still might be able to get home since their brake lights were still operable — assuming, of course, the 54-year-old driver could provide some form of identification.

Appearing cooperative, the couple told the officer their names were Ronald and Barbara Taylor and that they were in town traveling. The driver ultimately failed to produce a driver's license, Social Security number, or temporary tags for his vehicle.

WBNS-TV reported that the suspects have since been identified as Elaine and Rodney Helman of Dayton.

As the officer walked away to check what LPD Chief Glenn Nicol indicated was false information, the driver revved his engine and veered off.

The couple made their way to a nearby BP gas station, where they bailed out of the van along with their dog and bolted in search of an alternate mode of transportation.

Police, who had given chase, pursued the suspects on foot.

As one officer came up on the suspects, he drew his taser and announced he would employ it should they fail to stand down. The male suspect allegedly drew a handgun, forcing the officer to take over behind a pickup truck.

The LPD indicated in a statement the suspect "pointed a handgun at the officer" after falling during the initial foot chase.

Nicol indicated that while the man did not ultimately shoot the officer, a live round was found at the truck stop.

LPD5 Bodycam youtu.be

The suspects managed to steal into an unlocked semi truck with no trailer but with the driver still inside, whom they reportedly took hostage.

In the semi and in the company of the unlucky truck driver, the couple blasted past the additional officers who had responded to the scene, striking a police cruiser in the process.

Taking once more to the road, the couple commenced a 2.5-hour chase.

Nicol indicated the top speeds reached in the pursuit were between 60 and 65 mph, reported the Daily Mail.

"Usually we try not to engage in such a long pursuit," said Nicol. "However with the speeds and the seriousness of crime and with the abduction taking place, we had to maintain contact with that vehicle."

The Ohio State Highway Patrol and Madison County sheriffs joined officers from the LPD in the pursuit, which ended off Interstate 70 near the Dayton International Airport just before 3:30 a.m..

Although the chase had come to an end, the standoff was only just beginning.

According to authorities, the OSHP's special response team arrived later Wednesday morning, while personnel with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office attempted to negotiate with the suspects.

Around 7:30 a.m., the special response team in tactical gear approached the suspects in the semi "in an attempt to remove the hostage."

As the troopers approached the semi, they were reportedly shot at.

In response, the troopers returned fire, with one trooper allegedly blasting the cab over 20 times with his sidearm. Both suspects were hit in the exchange.

Fortunately, the hostage got out with only minor injuries, and no officers were reported injured in the shooting.

After the decisive firefight, troopers took the suspects into custody, both of whom were transported to the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. Both suspects were pronounce dead at the hospital.

'A lot of blood': Man mows down 10 pedestrians in a stolen car while evading police. New Yorkers made sure he wouldn't get far on foot.



A 20-year-old man driving a stolen SUV mowed down at least 10 pedestrians, including two children, in Midtown Manhattan during rush hour Tuesday, according to police. Upon wrecking his stolen ride, the suspect took off on foot, but New Yorkers ensured he wouldn't get far.

According to the NYPD, the suspect, who does not have a New York State driver's license and was described as "white or Hispanic," was driving a 2018 Hyundai Tucson with Illinois plates that had been reported stolen from the Bronx on July 31.

A license plate reader alerted police to the vehicle's presence at 45th Street and 2nd Avenue around 5:30 p.m.

Officers began following the vehicle while attempting to verify it had in fact been stolen. Having determined the report was accurate, police attempted to pull the vehicle over at 43rd Street and 3rd Avenue amid heavy traffic.

Although the driver initially motioned to comply, he quickly altered course, hit the gas, and attempted to evade the officers, striking a bicyclist, said police.

Patrol Borough Manhattan South Deputy Chief James Kehoe told reporters that officers remained in pursuit, but did so "at a lower rate of speed because of the heavy traffic."

After hitting a yellow taxi, the suspect pulled onto the sidewalk, where he plowed through several pedestrians near Grand Central Station.

"It was crazy, it was horrific," Michael Discioarro, a witness to the mayhem, told the New York Post.

Discioarro indicated one "victim on the ground was seriously injured. A lot of blood."

"Another victim was laid up against the door of a store. She was clearly hurt," said Discioarro. "Her leg was twisted in a way you shouldn’t twist a leg."

The Daily Mail reported that one witness saw a victim go "flying through the air" after being struck.

At a crowded 42nd Avenue intersection, the suspect made a U-turn, hitting additional victims, then sped down Lexington Avenue going the wrong way.

The vehicular component of the chase came to an end when the suspect barreled into a black 2011 Toyota RAV-4.

— (@)

Although his stolen ride was immobilized, the suspect carried on, making a mad dash through the nearby crowd. However, bystanders intervened, pinning him until police could arrive.

Video obtained by the Post shows multiple Good Samaritans tackling the suspect to the ground, then holding him down while he kicked and flailed.

"When the cops showed up, the guy they took into custody was trying to fight with the cops — trying to push the cops away," said Discioarro.

While police got their man, a female suspect who had been with him managed to get away and remains on the loose, according to authorities.

Kehoe indicated, "Upon initial review of this incident, it does not appear to have any connection to terrorist activity."

Among the 10 victims taken to Bellevue Hospital, all of whom survived with non-life-threatening injuries, were a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old. The eldest victim is 72.

— (@)

The suspect reportedly is known to police, with several previous arrests including two on gun charges and others for drug crimes.
