02:23police report the suspect pulled out a gun during the struggle but hutto was somehow able to pull
02:29the magazine out of it and when the suspect broke free the officer deployed his taser
02:36the taser was ineffective and palmer jumped into hutto's cruiser while the officer ducked behind

11:51get out of the car put your hands up get the out the car get out the car get the out the car
11:58let me see your hands but again the driver refused to comply
12:08the suspect manages to pull away
12:13but when deputies catch up to the truck at this gas station
12:18they seize the opportunity as it spins out in the slippery parking lot
12:22stop stop the driver is surrounded and deputies including a canine unit order him to give up
12:34stop or you're gonna get bit by a dog exit the vehicle exit the vehicle with your hands up
12:43come back in the car
12:43stop
12:47he manages to escape again
12:49but this deputy quickly attempts a pit maneuver
12:55my bumper's shut off
12:58during the pit attempt the deputy's bumper gets stuck in the truck's rear wheel well
13:03but the suspect manages to break loose and flees down the wet road in reverse
13:23he turns the truck around and then brake checks the deputy behind him
13:28he is
13:30here to get this guy
13:36after two more pit maneuvers the suspect spins out
13:43but he still refuses to stop reversing into this grassy area
13:51after this deputy forces him up against a tree
13:53and another pulls up to block his exit path,
13:57the fugitive seems to finally be stuck.
14:00Exit the vehicle, the hands up! Exit the vehicle!
14:04I can't see hands. Stay right there.
14:08Deputies spend almost an hour trying to get the driver to exit the truck.
14:12When he still refuses to comply,
14:15Sergeant Devin Bagby and his canine partner Igo prepare to move in.
14:20Last warning, come out of your new bed!
14:23Come up! Come up, come up!
14:29When Igo isn't able to jump up through the truck's window,
14:33the Sergeant gives him a lift.
14:37Take him! Take him! Take him! Take him! Take him!
14:40Take him! Take him! Take him!
14:45Despite struggling to fight back against canine Igo,
14:49the driver still refuses to get out of the truck.
14:52So Sergeant Bagby deploys his taser
14:55and then pepper spray.
15:02The pepper spray proves to be too much for the suspect
15:06and he finally comes out of the vehicle.
15:08He's out! He's out!
15:10Deputies move in and take him into custody.
15:13He was ID'd as 42-year-old John Joseph Payette III.
15:20Payette was arrested and charged with attempting to elude pursuing police officers,
15:25assaulting an officer, harming a police dog, and resisting arrest.
15:29He's yet to enter a plea and his case is pending.
15:32One of the deputies and the suspect were treated for minor injuries sustained during the pursuit.
15:39Canine Igo also suffered minor injuries, but according to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office,
15:44he's doing well and back on the job.
15:46Next, we're in Detroit, Michigan, where local PD are in pursuit of a suspect in a semi-truck
15:56who they say just assaulted his wife, hit a police cruiser, and is now on the run from law enforcement.
16:02Earlier, when dispatch got a call about a domestic disturbance in progress,
16:08the suspect's daughter told them that her father had fled the scene, getting a ride from a neighbor.
16:14Dispatch sent out the alert.
16:18All right, it's going to be an Arab male, green shirt, and jeans.
16:21And you're going to see him in a purple hood sedan driving towards Shlop from the address.
16:25Now, just minutes later, as Corporal Adam Walker drives past this parking lot,
16:30he spots the neighbor's vehicle.
16:32One, I've got it here.
16:36Stop the car.
16:38Put it in park, shut it off.
16:39On the truck.
16:40On the truck?
16:42Don't move.
16:43The neighbor tells the corporal that the suspect, 55-year-old Ali Zabib,
16:49is in a nearby truck in the parking lot.
16:52The corporal calls it in.
16:53Well, and the driver of that car is advising you just got into a semi-truck,
16:57which is back out of Abu's.
17:00I'll be making contracts.
17:01As the corporal approaches the semi with his gun drawn, the truck starts moving forward.
17:08Hey, stop!
17:14Shut off the truck!
17:16Shut off the truck!
17:18Hey, shut it off!
17:19Shut the truck!
17:20Shut the truck!
17:21Shut the truck!
17:22Shut the truck!
17:22Shut the truck!
17:23Shut the truck!
17:24Shut the truck!
17:25Including this officer, who pulls up right in front of the semi.
17:29Shut off the truck!
17:31Now!
17:32but the suspect does not comply as the semi takes off officers run back to their cruisers
17:46and take up pursuit easy to i'm re-primary eastbound michigan coming up to uh burgundy
17:57semi no trailer notify msp
18:05as the pursuit enters the highway officers become concerned that the situation may turn into
18:11an international incident and looks like we're going to be taking 96.
18:15can notify the border if it's possible he could be heading to canada as well
18:19we'll let him help 96 eastbound border patrol is getting cold
18:23but as he reaches the exit for the bridge to canada the fugitive does not take it
18:29we're bypassing the bridge speeds are 95 because officers are unable to pit the much larger truck
18:38and because dearborn pd does not use spike strips on moving vehicles officers make a decision in the
18:45interest of public safety 19 we're going to terminate this the device of the other agencies
18:52there's no interest to officers zabib escaped from law enforcement but he was spotted in the area
18:58the very next day and several locals recorded police chasing the semi on their phones
19:04zabib was able once again to evade law enforcement but after two days on the run
19:17police learned from the suspect's family that his truck was equipped with a gps tracker so they were
19:22able to track him down at a local market where special ops quickly moved in
19:28the fugitive was quickly arrested without incident and put in the back of a cruiser
19:38zabib was charged with domestic violence malicious destruction of property fleeing and eluding and
19:45reckless driving he pled no contest to all four charges and his sentencing is pending the suspect's
