10:53the vehicle is cleared and the suspect is id'd as 19 year old nadira abdillahi

12:19per court records she was released from probation after 14 months and the case is now closed abdillahi

12:30next we're in idaho falls idaho where police officer joshua giddings is in pursuit of a suspect
12:39for fleeing and eluding just after 11 pm officer giddings was on patrol when he spotted the vehicle
12:47driving without its lights on when he attempted a traffic stop the suspect slowed down and seemed to
12:55be pulling over but he never came to a complete stop and then he took off for a vehicle's not stopping
13:05they're continuing on east lincoln road into county they're speeding up i'll be following for now
13:13now as officer giddings pursues the suspect speeds through a 35 mile an hour zone but as the
13:19fugitive pulls out of the officer's sight he crashes on a concrete median freight they just wrecked at
13:28the roundabout on northamon and east lincoln lincoln can i get county units out here expedite after
13:34giddings calls in for backup he pulls up the road and sees the suspect fleeing the crash scene he's
13:40running on foot right now on northamon road headed south but the suspect sees the officer and reverses
13:46course so giddings flips a u-turn and follows him into a gas station parking lot i'll be in the
13:52parking lot of maverick following the mail right now but giddings is too late as the suspect runs
14:00through this opening in the fence stop stop around the same time bonneville county sergeant randy flagel
14:10is pulling up in the distance just beyond the fence he's around this residence there he is
14:25giddings and flagel chase the fugitive to the front steps of a resident
14:32and when he fails to comply with their orders
14:34a taser is deployed the sergeant then rolls the suspect over and gets him in cuffs put your hands
14:50behind your back as backup arrives on the scene
14:53all right we have one male detained the suspect 28 year old austin robert kelly was already wanted for
15:06probation violation and has prior convictions for theft resisting obstructing and fleeing eluding
15:15what is even going on well you fled from a traffic stop and then you fled after you crashed your vehicle
15:22i turned my lights i turned my lights on you pulled off to the side of the road and then you just took off
15:29well you got to go to jail man you got an eye doc warrant for one
15:34officers walked kelly to an ambulance that's just arrived on scene he was taken to the hospital
15:39and treated for minor injuries before being booked into the county jail kelly was charged with dui

16:11and court costs next we're in columbus ohio where officers are in pursuit of two alleged car thieves
16:20who fled from police and are now driving dangerously earlier columbus pd received a
16:27hit from a flop camera about a stolen car and before long two units spotted the vehicle and attempted to
16:35stop it all right he just slowed up like taking a user but after getting past one cruiser the driver
16:41attempted to speed past a second one the impact of the crash caused significant damage including setting
16:52off the airbags on the suspect's passenger side but the putitives managed to recover even avoiding
17:00contact with two additional officers who arrived on scene as additional officers join the pursuit
17:10the suspects continue speeding and driving recklessly on local roads
17:14after cutting through the parking lot this officer slams his cruiser into the rear of the fugitive's
17:40vehicle knocking the back bumper off but still failing to stop them moments later the same officer attempts a pit maneuver
17:56sending the suspects into this police car and knocking off their other bumper
18:02another officer then slams into the suspects but despite getting hit a fourth time they somehow manage to escape again
18:18after the suspects enter a construction zone conditions become even more difficult for pursuing officers
18:25eventually the officers safely clear the construction zone and are able to catch up to the suspects again
18:42and when the now badly damaged vehicle turns off the main road and onto this quiet street
18:47the officers make their move
19:06the second pit is a success
19:10as the suspects crash into a tree
19:17the suspects exit the vehicle
19:24and are immediately detained officers soon discover that the fugitives they've been chasing
19:30are both teenagers neither of them old enough to legally drive both were treated for minor injuries
19:38and then turned over to juvenile authorities they were both charged with two counts of receiving stolen
19:44property the driver was also charged with two counts of failure to comply
19:51a judge adjudicated them both guilty for their charges and the juvenile court placed the teens on
