00:00I'm Tom Morris, Jr., and this is Fugitives Caught on Taste.
00:26This guy has no regard for anybody else in the road.
00:30First up, we're in Ocala, Florida, where law enforcement officers in the air and
00:59on the ground are in pursuit of a suspect in an allegedly stolen truck traveling at speeds
01:05over 100 miles an hour.
01:09Corporal Justin Tortora of the Marion County Sheriff's Department was on patrol when he
01:14ran the license plate on a red truck.
01:16It came back as stolen, and after the driver blew through this red light, the corporal
01:22turned on his lights and siren, but the suspect sped off.
01:27Now, as the driver crosses over into the opposite lane of traffic, Corporal Tortora has a tough
01:33time keeping up.
01:34All right, 23, just lost sight.
01:38Okay, got him.
01:39He's coming up to the square.
01:40Is Air 1 going to go?
01:42Soon, the Sheriff's Department helicopter, Air 1, locates the suspect, then switches its
01:48camera to night vision for better tracking.
01:51Air 1 is here.
01:52Air 1 has just now come up.
01:53I thought they're going to get on now, trying to light things up.
01:57Corporal Tortora and other officers back off as Air 1 takes the lead in following the suspect.
02:03Now, eastbound on 8th Street at 1st Avenue, eastbound.
02:09Suddenly, the suspect goes off-road and into a vacant lot.
02:14Air 1 quickly directs the officers in the area.
02:17Unit that's on at Macnolly, you turn right.
02:19You just turn behind you into that lot.
02:24To the right, to the right.
02:25As Corporal Tortora enters the lot, the suspect ditches the truck and flees on foot, but Air
02:301 is watching his every move.
02:33Stop there.
02:34He's out.
02:34Looks like he's out on foot.
02:36He's on foot, running northbound, coming up to 7th Street.
02:41You hit it on 1st Avenue at 7th Street.
02:44Go back to the east.
02:45The Corporal exits his cruiser, deploys his canine partner, Leo, and takes off after
02:54the fugitives.
02:57But when they can't spot the suspect in the dark, they get another assist from Air 1.
03:02In the back parking lot of a business, go to your right.
03:05Go to your right.
03:05Go to your right.
03:06Before long, the Corporal spots the suspect near a fence.
03:11It checks off the canine!
03:13You're arrest!
03:13Don't please stop!
03:14Park it, park it, park it!
03:17And a foot chase ensues.
03:20Turn those dead on your arrest!
03:21Let's go!
03:22Corporal Tortora unleashes canine Leo, and they both chase the suspect into a yard.
03:28The suspect hops a fence, but Leo is hot on his trail.
03:34Get away!
03:34He runs across the street, dropping his backpack along the way, as canine Leo closes in.
03:46Canine's engaged.
03:48And seconds later, Corporal Tortora arrives at the scene.
03:51Don't bite that dog!
03:52Don't bite that dog!
03:53Get on the ground!
03:54Get on the ground!
03:55Get on the ground!
03:56Get on the ground!
03:57Get on the stomach!
03:58Get on the stomach!
03:59Get on the stomach!
04:00After the Corporal cuffs the suspect, he commands Leo to release his bike.
04:05Get on the stomach!
04:06Owl!
04:07Owl!
04:08Owl!
04:09Owl!
04:10Owl!
04:11What'd you run for, buddy?
04:12You just set up!
04:13Oh yeah, you really got set up.
04:14Yeah!
04:15You got set up big time.
04:16Backup soon arrives.
04:17It was a set up big time.
04:18What are you pleasing me for?
04:19I got nothing for you.
04:20How many people you could have killed?
04:21It was a set up big time.
04:22Good job, buddy!
04:23It was so good!
04:24You did good!
04:25Put your back in the road.
04:26Good job!
04:27You fast!
04:28The suspect was ID'd as 15-year-old Demarcus Deshawn Payton.
04:32When officers search his backpack, they're going to get to the back.
04:33And the back-up soon arrives.
04:34It was a set up big time.
04:35What are you pleasing me for?
04:36What are you pleasing me for?
04:37I got nothing for you.
04:38How many people you could have killed?
04:39Good job, buddy!
04:40Good job, buddy!
04:41He's so good!
04:42You did good!
04:43You did good!
04:44Good job!
04:45When officers search his backpack and the truck, they find ammunition and a Glock 22 handgun.
04:51Is there anything in it?
04:52I found a bullet, a phone, and a water.
04:56All right.
04:57You go back.
04:58That's not my stuff.
04:59Okay.
05:00That's not my stuff.
05:01That's not my stuff.
05:02So we got three non-mil rounds.
05:05You want me to take those for evidence?
05:07Yeah.
05:08All right.
05:09What is it?
05:10A stolen gun?
05:11Yeah.
05:12Payton, who officers say admitted to car hopping,
05:15was transported to a hospital to be treated for lacerations and punctures on both of his
05:20legs from the canine bites.
05:22The Department of Juvenile Justice later took custody of the teen, whose identity was made
05:27public despite his minor status per Florida law.
05:31He was charged with multiple counts of burglary and theft, along with fleeing, eluding, possession
05:36of a firearm by a minor, and resisting law enforcement.
05:41He was adjudicated delinquent and ordered to serve 15 days of secure detention, followed
05:46by probation until age 19.
05:50Next, we're in Healy, Alaska, where state troopers are in pursuit of a suspected drug dealer who's on the run and shooting at them.
06:03Earlier, troopers got an alert from the narcotics squad that 45-year-old Michael Grimes, a convicted felon
06:10and suspected drug dealer they'd been surveilling, was headed their way, armed, and potentially transporting drugs.
06:18Also in the car, Grimes' girlfriend, 42-year-old Melody Perry, whose past record includes a conviction for theft.
06:26Troopers had already set a position outside of town in order to reduce the risk to civilians.
06:33Troopers activated their lights and sirens and quickly caught up to the suspects, who, at first, appeared to be complying.
06:54Trooper Aaron Mobley circled around in front of the suspect's truck to block him off, but he managed to swerve his way out of the trap and take off.
07:02Now, troopers further up the road set up spike strips, and as the suspects approach...
07:14Did we get spikes? Did we get spikes?
07:18We had two good spikes. I don't know if they start deflating in or not.
07:23About a minute later, the effects of the stop sticks begin to kick in.
07:27And as the driver begins to slow down, trooper Nathan Hollenbeck moves in to attempt a pit maneuver.
07:39Though the pit is unsuccessful, it manages to slow the suspects down even more, and the troopers quickly surround them.
07:46But when trooper Mobley pulls up next to him, the driver reacts.
07:51No! That's right!
07:53Shot fired! Shot fired!
07:56Shot fired! Shot fired!
07:58And as the chase continues, so do the gunshots from the suspect.
08:03Multiple rounds shot! Multiple rounds! Take him out!
08:06Deathly force is authorized where it gets to the populated area of...
08:12With the situation quickly escalating and approaching a heavily populated area, trooper Trevor Norris takes the lead and returns fire through his windshield.
08:21The suspect retaliates.
08:26And the two become engaged in a life-or-death shootout.
08:36The damaged truck now slows to a stop in the middle of the road.
08:42Troopers quickly exit their vehicles and take cover behind Norris' cruiser.
08:49Then, as the truck begins to roll forward...
08:55The troopers open fire.
08:57Shot fired!
08:58When the shooting stops, troopers address the passenger in the truck.
09:02Passenger! Exit the door now!
09:05Passenger! Put your hands outside! Open the door from the outside! Keep your hands visible!
09:11The passenger exits the vehicle and complies with officer's orders.
09:20Back towards us! Back towards us! Keep your hands up!
09:24Keep knocking off!
09:26Sound of my voice! Sound of my voice!
09:28Keep coming! Keep coming!
09:29Keep coming!
09:30You okay what's on you?
09:31You okay?
09:32You okay?
09:33With the passenger detained, troopers turn their attention to the driver.
09:37Driver! Put your hands up so we can see your hands!
09:40When the driver doesn't respond, troopers take a different approach.
09:44Hey! Slope has a shield!
09:47Slope has a shield!
09:49Driver! Speak to us now!
09:54Driver! Speak to us now!
09:56Don't move it! No response!
09:58He's alive! He's bleeding!
10:00You still breathing?
10:01Put the door! Pull him out!
10:02Okay, let's get medical!
10:04Medical!
10:05Medical!
10:06All right, he's still breathing!
10:07We gotta get that, uh, milk's awesome!
10:09Yep!
10:10We're gonna get you some milk!
10:12Remember, guns!
10:13Guns!
10:14Yep!
10:15Medics arrived to provide aid, but the suspect is pronounced dead at the scene.
10:24An autopsy later concluded that Grimes' death was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot.
10:30In addition to his gun, troopers found multiple magazines on the suspect and under the vehicle's tailgate.
10:37They also found 2.6 kilos of methamphetamine, 257 grams of fentanyl powder, and 111 grams of fentanyl pills.
10:47Harry, Grimes' girlfriend, was unharmed during the incident, but was found to be in possession of a pistol.
10:53She was arrested and charged with misconduct involving weapons.
10:57Harry pled guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison.
11:01No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
11:05Next, we're in Erie County, Ohio, where state police are in pursuit of a suspect who they say just assaulted a trooper and is now driving recklessly.
11:17Earlier, the trooper pulled over this SUV for driving over 100 miles an hour in a 70 zone.
11:24And when he smelled marijuana and suspected the driver's ID was fake, he called it in and requested backup.
11:32You go in 20, 307 to the 108.
11:35When he asked the driver to step out of his vehicle, he complied and the trooper patted him down.
11:49But when he asked him to sit in the backseat of his cruiser, the driver refused and things got physical.
12:02The suspect managed to make it back into his SUV, throw it in reverse, and slam into the trooper's cruiser before taking off.
12:15He just took off and struck the front of my car.
12:18I'm in.
12:19Let me see.
12:20Now, the trooper pursues the suspect as he drives recklessly on the turnpike.
12:25He's a hundred and seven.
12:26Wait, wait.
12:27Yeah, if I said it's changing on the subject.
12:32Right, I believe it's a fake home somewhere else.
12:35Up ahead, additional troopers prepare to lay down spike strips.
12:39Five-seven years, one ahead of 67, try to slip up there.
12:42All right, I can do that.
12:45Before long, the suspect approaches their trap.
12:48Hold on.
12:49Let's go.
12:50Hold on.
12:51Let's go.
12:52Let's go.
