00:10Summers are brutal with the heat.
00:12It'll melt your shoes, your skin, it'll tear you up for sure.
00:18If it's too hot outside, the bad guys don't want to go out and commit crimes.
00:22When the nighttime comes, the freaks come out.
00:26Put your pants off!
00:28When that sun's gone, people think they can hide the bad stuff in the dark.
00:31This is the I don't believe in Facebook.
00:34One team, one family.
00:36We always pull together.
00:39You guys brought your back!
00:41What the f*** am I in handcuffs for?
00:44It's very dangerous.
00:46Backup isn't always closed.
00:50It's not an emergency.
00:52You're gonna kill me.
00:54Assaults, robberies, shootings.
00:57It's lawless out here.
00:58It's gonna get hot tonight.
00:59A little bit of spice is always good.
01:01Stop having sex.
01:02Put your jeans on.
01:04See you in the wild, wild west, Tucson.
01:07It's the witching hour.
01:08Don't tap out on us yet, okay?
01:30It's the start of my shift.
01:31I have no idea what's ahead of me for tonight, but it's never a dull day, never a predictable
01:37day here in the desert.
01:47Saturday night is the start of everyone's weekend.
01:51Everyone puts in a long, hard week at whatever job that they do, have to endure all of the
01:57heat and the exhaustion that just beat them down during the week.
02:00And with that, people want to be able to relax with friends, hang out, go out for a drink.
02:07And it's around midnight is when they make the decision to get behind the wheel.
02:16We have seen the absolute horror that these types of decisions can leave on families.
02:21And we've seen families being torn apart by somebody just making a very, very poor decision.
02:30It's our job at the DUI unit to be proactive and try to make sure everyone just gets home safe.
02:44I try to have as high a vigilance level as possible.
02:47I'm always constantly scanning, looking at the mirror.
02:50I know a lot of people think I'm paranoid.
02:52I am.
02:52There's got to be paranoid in this job.
02:56That was one going 87.
02:59I can't imagine it's gotten too far, especially with all the buildup that we have coming up ahead of us.
03:06And I think that might be it right here.
03:10So my biggest strategy is to try to get a license plate first.
03:13That way, if it does take off, we at least have information we can go on.
03:21And he's just speeding around cars.
03:23All right.
03:23All I needed is.
03:266 and 7 traffic.
03:27Get you 20 in a sec.
03:31It looks like he's trying to get around cars, running with lights.
03:34Do we have survey up yet?
03:36Copy.
03:37It's near Irving and Kaya, Santa Cruz.
03:40It's going to be a black 2021 Ford Mustang.
03:44I've already lost visual.
03:47So it took off from us.
03:48Kind of what I predicted.
03:51So it sounds like Ool had a vehicle take off from him.
03:56There's no one in active pursuit of him.
03:58There's just multiple deputies that are in the area now.
04:01And they're essentially just trying to lock him down.
04:04We're still waiting for our airplane to pick it up.
04:08It was last seen heading westbound from the area where we tried to acquire.
04:24This could be a carjacking.
04:25It could be a stolen vehicle incident.
04:27They could be under the influence.
04:29They could hide drugs.
04:30They could hide guns.
04:31Usually people that run from us have something that they want to hide.
04:36All right, so they're not trying to affect a traffic stop yet.
04:40They're keeping the plane on him.
04:43They were able to read his license plate during the initial pursuit.
04:46So they have a couple of units that are going to his house now.
05:02He's going the wrong direction, which is extraordinarily dangerous.
05:06Southwest 582, turn up to 809, sir.
05:11Northbound, Tucson Escoots, Park Rogen.
05:14All right, so he's pulling into an address.
05:19They're there right down here.
05:30You got no?
05:31No, no, no.
05:34Right behind you.
05:40Someone may be under the canopy.
05:44Let's see your hair!
05:45Oh, look.
05:46Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
05:48We're probably in contact with driver.
05:51Look out of the car, slowly!
05:53Driver, let me see your hands, both of us!
05:56Turn around.
05:57Turn around, keep your hands up!
06:00Keep your hands up.
06:05Look away from me!
06:06Are you going to get dog bait?
06:08Make a crossbow?
06:09With your right hand, grab your T-shirt.
06:12Lift it above your waistband.
06:13Come on.
06:14Get down on your hands and knees.
06:17All backwards towards us.
06:22Crawl!
06:23Crawl!
06:24Crawl!
06:24Backward!
06:25Crawl!
06:25Get up and crawl!
06:27Get up and crawl!
06:29Get up and crawl!
06:29Get up and crawl!
06:29No, no, no, no!
06:30I'm not standing!
06:31I'm not standing!
06:32I'm not standing!
06:33No!
06:34No!
06:35No!
06:36No!
06:36No!
06:36Don't f**k with the needle!
06:37No!
06:41No!
06:42No!
06:42No!
06:43No!
06:46So, I'm definitely cool, okay, I'm with the sheriff's department.
06:48Yes, sir.
06:48Why'd you run from me?
06:50I just, I didn't even want to get in trouble, man.
06:53I didn't think I did anything wrong until, I mean, I just didn't want to get in trouble.
06:57But I made a mistake.
06:58I'll learn from it.
06:59Do you think you're in trouble now?
07:00Oh, yeah, for sure.
07:01Okay.
07:02You know, the only reason I was going to stop you is because you're just going 87 and a 55.
07:06Yeah.
07:07I'm sorry.
07:07And we would have had a simple conversation about that.
07:08I'm sorry.
07:09I didn't know if it was for me.
07:11Really?
07:11Okay.
07:11I was following you the whole time on the Irving team.
07:14I'm getting multiple chances to stop.
07:15You cannot claim ignorance in this, man.
07:17I know.
07:17I made a mistake.
07:18I'll learn from him, man.
07:19You put so many people in danger today with your driving.
07:23Sorry about that, man.
07:25I'm a good kid.
07:26I just...
07:27Not anymore, man.
07:28I know.
07:29All right.
07:29Why don't you just put him in your car for now?
07:33Hey, man.
07:33Is there anything in particular we need to be looking for right now?
07:36Can you get a backpack?
07:37And there's a...
07:37Is there a gun in the bag?
07:38No, nothing.
07:39I don't have a gun.
07:40But when we search the bag right now, are we going to find anything we don't like?
07:42No, nothing.
07:43All right.
07:48Uh, there's a couple bags.
07:50Here, let me just...
07:51Let me just document.
07:53We'll...
07:53We'll just take it right here.
07:57Oh, ****.
07:58Yes.
07:59Oh, wow.
08:03It's an abnormal amount of cash for sure.
08:05Um, definitely more than I make in a month.
08:09I personally wouldn't be carrying, uh, that much money around.
08:13Hey, bro, I'm going to count your cash for you, okay?
08:15This is the first band that had a 5,000 ring on it.
08:18It's definitely weird.
08:20Seven.
08:21Eight.
08:22Nine.
08:24But it's not illegal to carry that kind of cash on you.
08:27So I got 4,200 in that first band of 50s.
08:30Does that sound about right?
08:31Yes, sir.
08:31Okay.
08:32One, two, three, four, five.
08:34I got 300.
08:37Forty-two plus 16, so $5,800, um,
08:41that somebody's carrying around just in an envelope.
08:46What are you carrying around five grand for?
08:48I just sold one of my cars and I just had the cash with them
08:51and I keep it on me because I can't trust anyone.
08:54Okay.
08:57Hi.
08:57That's my same support?
08:59Yes.
09:00Yeah, your son made a very done decision tonight.
09:02He ran from cops and put a lot of people in danger today.
09:05We are towing his car and he's being booked into jail for a felony.
09:09Where is he?
09:10Uh, he's on his way to be booked to the Pima County Jail now.
09:13Uh, traffic too.
09:14He put everybody in danger by speeding.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Well, not just speeding, running red lights, overtaking cars.
09:23And he was speeding pretty crazy.
09:2587 in a 55.
09:29Well, could have been a simple ticket.
09:31And I'm sorry that happened.
09:32We didn't raise them to be that way, so...
09:34Good night.
09:34You have a good night.
09:35Thank you so much.
09:36So that was our violator's mother.
09:39She just wanted to get, uh, good ideas as to what happened.
09:43You can find so many examples of parents, uh, you know, blaming law enforcement.
09:47But that didn't seem like the case here.
09:50That was our first traffic stop for the night and that was, uh, already an eventful one.
09:54So, we can kind of, uh, just see what the rest of the night has in store for us.
10:15It's almost like watching the sunset is like the calm before the storm.
10:20Bad people come out at night.
10:22They want to be outside when the sun's down rather than be out when the sun's up and it's 105
10:28outside.
10:30Doing this job, it's like you go from being half asleep to just, like, wide awake and your heart rate's
10:35up to, like, you know, 130 in, like, two seconds.
10:37It's like something can happen at any minute.
10:40A slow night could turn fast very quickly.
10:58That car just took kind of a wide turn.
11:01And they're speeding.
11:07737 travel.
11:25It could be nothing or it could be something. We never know.
11:35How's it going, sir? I'm Deputy Lane with the Sheriff's Department. Can you turn the car off for me?
11:38Yes, it's off.
11:40Now, I will explain the situation to you.
11:42You don't have to. I was there.
11:44Oh.
11:44I watched. I observed it.
11:45Oh, no. I'm gonna explain it to you.
11:47Okay.
11:47Listen.
11:48Go ahead and name your license.
11:49Give me a moment. I'm getting the license for you.
11:52Okay.
11:52Do you understand?
11:54Why are you so hostile?
11:55Because you sped up and you tailgated me, sir, and forced me to go.
12:01I was in your car forcing you to go 100 miles an hour?
12:05You did, and it will come up in court, sir.
12:09There's nothing in there, sir. I do not consent to search.
12:12There's no search. I'm just looking in the vehicle.
12:14I do not consent to search.
12:15Once again, no.
12:25Do you have a registration and insurance?
12:27I do. Let me get that for you.
12:28Yeah.
12:29There's the registration.
12:33All right. Give me just a second there.
12:37So he's trying to say that he went 100 miles an hour because you were behind him?
12:40Yeah, because I was delegating him.
12:42I couldn't even catch up to him.
12:45Hold on.
12:46Cool.
12:51All righty. Go ahead and jump out of the car for me.
12:56Here you are, sir.
13:00So, this is that you're from a law firm?
13:03Is that what this card is that you're trying to show me?
13:06Did you... Are you able to read, sir?
13:09Well, you held it up.
13:10Are you able to read?
13:11I am.
13:12Okay, what did it say?
13:13I don't know.
13:14You don't know?
13:15No.
13:16But you stated you're able to read.
13:17So, read it.
13:18Asking a cop if we're able to read, I mean, that's kind of rude.
13:21You're the office manager for a law firm?
13:23Does that make you above the law because you work for a law firm?
13:26Give me your badge numbers.
13:27Oh, well, it'll absolutely be on the citation.
13:29You will both have a complaint to IA, both of you.
13:34Okay.
13:35Yes, sir.
13:35So, write your ticket.
13:38Perfect.
13:38Come have a seat on this curb over here.
13:48Yes, look at it.
13:51That's what you can't afford.
13:53That was a little rude.
13:54That's crazy.
13:57That's true.
13:58You've got Ds in high school and you're a sheriff.
14:02That's a little disrespectful.
14:04Oh, it's true.
14:05Okay.
14:09I only got one D.
14:12I actually got a D.
14:17But no, I did very well in college.
14:20That's very good.
14:24So, this is going to be a criminal traffic citation.
14:27That's my name, my badge number.
14:29Go ahead and sign that part right there.
14:39There you are.
14:39You are free to go.
14:40My recommendation is slow down so you don't hurt anybody.
14:43Thank you for your recommendation, officer.
14:46My recommendation to you is we'll see what the judge thinks.
14:49Okay.
14:49Sounds good.
14:50Have a good night, sir.
14:52Take care.
14:56God, I love it.
14:57Hey, you can get your badge number.
15:05Oh, my lord.
15:09Yeah, stuff like that happens a lot.
15:11He's probably going to submit a complaint.
15:14But yeah, it's all in a night's work.
15:33I feel like this summer has been the worst.
15:36The heat is so bad, you know?
15:44This time of day, we'll get a lot of, like,
15:47civil matter kind of calls where people have problems
15:51with their neighbors.
15:53But we have the extra stuff.
15:56You know, horses are loose in the street.
16:00Yesterday, my highlight was chasing a dog in the road.
16:09I would say in the evening, it's more dangerous, obviously,
16:13I feel like, out here.
16:16People think that's, like, the wild, wild west.
16:19So it's just more lawless out here.
16:22It's crazier.
16:35624.
16:58544.
16:5910-4-4-3-4-6-5-1-5-3-4. Thank you, 10-4.
17:03Oh, there he is.
17:0810-4, you can start heading over here.
17:11I'm going to make contact with him in a second.
17:15I am going to raise my hands
17:17and dramatically and loudly first declare,
17:20I am not a disease and I am not a crime.
17:22That's okay.
17:24I have a machete.
17:26Uncriminal.
17:27I don't see a machete anywhere.
17:31So, we don't want to bother with you.
17:35It's your turn to speak now and I'm going to be quiet.
17:38Okay, thank you.
17:39I appreciate that.
17:40It's your turn.
17:40Hey, so, all we need you to do
17:43is you can't hang out on this property, okay?
17:47That was so f***ing easy.
17:49Right? That was crazy.
17:51F***.
17:54I have a machete.
17:55Would you like me to relieve myself of the machete?
17:57No, I would like you to not touch the machete.
18:00Okay.
18:00That's what I'd like.
18:01I'm going to say,
18:03you're sweet, I appreciate you,
18:05and I'm going to cry a little as I want.
18:07Okay, well, that's okay.
18:08I have a little bit of my rights.
18:10He's attacked.
18:13Okay, well, we're done here.
18:26As a deputy, I've been eight and a half years.
18:31I was in the U.S. Army for eight years,
18:34and I was a military police officer,
18:36and I figured I was decent at it,
18:38so I would keep going.
18:41I was like, I'll stay a cop.
18:43I have a lot to offer.
18:45I've experienced twice.
19:04Can we confirm the 2140?
19:08Got a call coming in right now.
19:11This guy keeps calling in,
19:13but he's kind of out in the boonies.
19:15We're in the middle of the desert,
19:17but he knows this guy who's broke a window
19:19in one of the trailers.
19:22This may just be some type of civil dispute.
19:26It's all the way up to three points.
19:30There's a lot of abandoned properties out there in three points.
19:34It's kind of like an unspoken rule
19:36that nobody goes to three points alone.
19:40It's all desert out here.
19:41It's all pretty much flat land.
19:45There's another unit that's pretty close to the house,
19:49so we're just going to speed it up a little bit,
19:51try to get there as safely and quickly as possible.
20:09Hello.
20:10Finally.
20:10I'll talk to you.
20:11Okay, good deal.
20:12Come over here.
20:13Come over here.
20:13I'm going to let him talk to him, okay?
20:15Cool.
20:18What's going on, man?
20:20This guy's just pulled up over here, man.
20:22There's a tire marks right here.
20:24And fuck every window out.
20:25There's a tire, man.
20:27Okay.
20:28I didn't do anything to him.
20:29What happened today?
20:30So I'm creeping through my yard.
20:32Okay.
20:33So he was on your property?
20:35Yes, and I followed him back here,
20:36and that's when he was walking around out here.
20:38He just came up over here right now.
20:41He started f***ing threatening me.
20:43Oh, oh.
20:44What's this guy, man?
20:46He's f***ing crazy.
21:00Let's figure out kind of what's going on here.
21:05What's the deal?
21:06Were you over here tonight, or...?
21:07I have...
21:08I'm all innocent.
21:09Okay.
21:13So he's staying here.
21:15The other guy out there.
21:17Mm-hmm.
21:18It was just past the trees over here.
21:20Okay.
21:20He says he was sleeping inside of the RV right here
21:23when he heard him.
21:25It started breaking all the windows around the house.
21:27Okay.
21:28Cool.
21:29Are we good to come in?
21:36He threw that rock, man.
21:38And it f***ing pierced my head.
21:39So he threw the rock through the window,
21:41hit you in the head.
21:43And then he smashed...
21:45Yeah, he smashed out that one, too,
21:46I'm sure of it.
21:47I mean...
21:48This one?
21:49I'm pretty sure.
21:50There's glass all over the place.
21:52I mean...
21:52Oh, yeah.
21:53He's crazy, man.
21:54No, I get you, bro.
21:56Um...
21:56You should...
21:57Stop walking this way, bro.
21:59I appreciate you.
22:02Okay.
22:03I don't want to go anywhere around there, guys.
22:07He apparently came over
22:08and threw a rock through the window.
22:10There's one, two, three broken windows on this side.
22:17There's, like, that weird ventilation window up here
22:19that's broken,
22:20and then that tiny window with the curtain.
22:23But there's, like, a trail that leads back in here.
22:27Footprints.
22:28Like, there's one right here.
22:29It looks like that's where he kind of dug the rocks up.
22:33So he was definitely walking here.
22:41You don't have any shoes or anything like that?
22:44No, why?
22:45Okay.
22:46All right.
22:47You want to go ahead and 26, then?
22:50What are you doing, arresting me?
22:52Sir, listen, I ain't doing...
22:54Oh, my God.
22:55Oh, no way.
22:57Get out of here.
22:58Why can't you...
22:58Relax.
22:59Why are you arresting me?
23:01You ain't got no reason to arrest me.
23:03Relax.
23:04No, I'm telling you.
23:06I come here to report a crime,
23:08and I'm going to jail.
23:09What kind of s*** is that?
23:13Do you own this property?
23:16Are you renting it?
23:18Do you have permission to stay here?
23:22No, but I've been trying to get a hold of the...
23:26Until you get permission from somebody,
23:28don't be going into random houses,
23:31even if they do look abandoned.
23:33I understand it's hot,
23:34and you've got to escape the elements,
23:35but that's not how to do it.
23:38All right.
23:40Go grab your stuff from inside,
23:41because you're not going to be able to stay here tonight.
23:53All right.
23:54All right.
23:54Don't come back to the property.
24:11All right.
24:11He just seems like,
24:13you know,
24:14down on his luck,
24:15kind of seems like he's just homeless
24:18and living with what means he can.
24:24You know,
24:24I've got my own personal story
24:26of just having family members
24:28dealing with homelessness
24:29and having that compassion for them.
24:33So I just try to treat everybody the same.
24:36You know,
24:36at the end of the day,
24:38we're law enforcement.
24:39We're all police officers,
24:41but we still have to have
24:42some type of compassion
24:43and empathy for people.
24:44Up and down.
24:44We're all police officers.
24:50Hope you're justice.
24:50Oh my God.
24:53I'm so sorry.
24:53Oh my God.
24:55Oh my God.
24:55Oh my God. percent.
25:159-1-1, what is the address of the emergency?
25:18I got a call from a buddy.
25:19He's at the Circle K on Ajo and Kenny.
25:22He was mentioning something about him and his lady
25:24got in a fight and he punched a hole in the wall.
25:26He called me to the practice and I could hear the cops
25:29in the background.
25:32He was in his vehicle and I told him, like,
25:34we need to get out and just listen to them.
25:36And he's just yelling lantically.
25:37And I'm telling him, like, you're just listening
25:39because they're going to kill me.
26:01We're in route right now and the suspect is still inside the vehicle.
26:04The information we have is that he's by himself.
26:07He's refusing verbal commands and he might have a weapon.
26:13We don't know if this person is in my tent.
26:15He can commit suicide or he can start shooting at us
26:20or in the public, right?
26:24We want to get to all the people there still inside the store
26:26as far away as we can and get them out quickly and safely.
26:45He's just tucked in in there?
26:48He's in that car.
26:50He might be either drunk or on something.
26:53He had a verbal argument with his wife,
26:54but he's known to carry a gun.
26:59Go ahead and get out of the car, man,
27:01and we'll talk about it.
27:02Hey, you want to tell you?
27:04There's an exit on the west side.
27:06Emergency exit.
27:07There you go.
27:08Just get those folks out.
27:14Hey, what can you do as far as securing the front door
27:16so if this guy exits his vehicle, he can't make it inside?
27:21You are under arrest.
27:22Exit your vehicle.
27:24Your gas is clear and empty.
27:25Number 145, we're challenging the vehicle now.
27:33We are not leaving.
27:36Let's put the vehicle with your hands up and empty.
27:45He's in the vehicle, and obviously we can't see his hands.
27:47In situations like this, we don't know if it's suicide by cop
27:49or if he's going to shoot at us.
27:53Okay, we've got 713 inside.
27:55We've got them kind of barricaded in the back,
27:57and we're working on clearing this out.
28:04Hey, you want to tell you?
28:07Tell me what's up?
28:12Step out of the car.
28:13You are under arrest.
28:16We are not going anywhere, and neither are you.
28:20Can you roll down the window so we can talk at least?
28:34Hey, is that driver window open?
28:38I had a pepper ball ready.
28:46Guys, hey, get out of here.
28:48Leave.
28:54Get on the ground.
28:58Hands up.
28:59Keep them up.
29:03Get on the ground.
29:04Get on the ground.
29:05On the ground.
29:07On the ground.
29:09Get on the ground.
29:12Hands on.
29:14Go for it.
29:20I'm complaining.
29:22I'm complaining.
29:24The other guy?
29:25Yeah, you're very useful.
29:31I'm not a bad dude.
29:33Donald Trump, please help me, Donald Trump.
29:37I'm a patriot, man.
29:39Is that the vehicle replacing him, bro?
29:41Yeah, man.
29:43It sucks, man.
29:44You know what I mean?
29:47If he starts being combative or anything, just...
29:49Yeah, I'll give you a buzz.
29:51All right, sounds good, man.
30:17I'm not a friend.
30:20I haven't in here.
30:21I难원.
30:21I don't know.
30:22I'm not a beast.
30:22All right, roomÉ.
30:23Shots for that car.
30:24I've heard several shots.
30:25You can hear the bullets in the house.
30:28There's a quad driving around somewhere in the desert.
30:39So somebody calling in saying their house is being shot at.
30:45So go there, find out if that homeowner has problems with anybody,
30:49why their house would be getting shot at.
30:52They can force our setting.
30:56Singing cactus.
30:57We're out way out in the rural area.
30:59You can't rely on GPS out here.
31:07These roads suck.
31:22I'm not going to go.
31:23I'm not going to go.
31:24Hi.
31:26What's going on?
31:29I opened the door.
31:31I'm not sitting in the car.
31:33But I heard something like ricochet in the trees after I heard the shots.
31:37It was, like, really close to me.
31:38This tree right here?
31:39Yeah.
31:40So I closed the door and then I waited until I stopped hearing them so that I could go inside.
31:46Do you have any problems with anybody?
31:48No.
31:50Can I see your video?
31:58Yeah, you can hear that ring or the ricochet.
32:02Is that going through somewhere where I was hearing it?
32:05Yeah.
32:06And that's probably where the shooting is coming from.
32:08Yeah.
32:10All right.
32:11Hang tight.
32:12It's an old mine where all the UTVs, they come over here, off-roading, and they just shoot
32:17at it.
32:17And all that property back there is literally the direction of this perfect trajectory of
32:22where they're shooting.
32:24I might need to do a code 9 on here.
32:29Okay, um, we're going to have to come up with a plan where we can do periodic checks.
32:35But obviously if it happens, immediately 911, let the dispatcher know this is an ongoing
32:40problem.
32:41That'd be perfect.
32:42And I'll try to find these guys so I'll stop scaring you guys at night.
32:47Thank you so much.
32:48I appreciate it.
32:49All right.
32:49Well, have a better night.
33:06People have no sense of what a ricochet can do.
33:10People do get hit in their house from stray bullets all the time.
33:17If I knew my daughter just got out of the car and she's scared to walk to her house, shots
33:23being fired, that would drive me crazy.
33:28This will go to our community problems unit.
33:31The plan is if this call comes back up again, I know exactly where to start putting myself
33:36and then we can start arresting people on felonies.
33:51boys this will go to South Dakota.
33:52I know.
33:58They are not the kind of rap.
33:58People hearing workers what it is so I can't imagine..
34:05It's not even though.
34:06It's an American cat shells andcs, they not really expect him to keep it.
34:09We're wearing Craycroft South.
34:20Hello.
34:21Are you in a hurry?
34:22Yes.
34:23What's going on?
34:25I've been following him for like four miles, and he's going like below the speed limit in the left lane.
34:31So how's that an excuse for your driving?
34:33It's not a excuse.
34:34Okay.
34:35It was all my bad.
34:36100% my fault.
34:39I appreciate your honesty, okay?
34:41You're going to get a warning tonight, but like you said, it's not an excuse.
34:44Just because somebody's driving their way, you're cutting people off, you're speeding.
34:49I think you knew the gig was up as soon as I pulled up behind you, right?
34:52I totally deserve everything.
34:53Let's just make better decisions when we're trying to get to a fair, okay?
34:56Right, right.
34:56All right, sir.
34:57Have a good night.
34:58All right.
34:59You too.
35:01Normally, I don't do traffic stops unless it's something egregious like that.
35:06I thought we were getting a DUI because how he was braking.
35:10I promise you, that warning probably went a lot further.
35:15They'll probably be like, you know what?
35:17They made me slow down.
35:33As the heat comes, it gets dangerous.
35:37During the summer, we have a lot of, they're called like man downs.
35:41People just fainted on the side of the road, you know, from heat exhaustion.
35:55554-76, rescue follow-up.
35:57Right now, we're going to go to a rescue follow-up, which a reportee says she found a man on
36:04the ground.
36:04He might be dead.
36:29It's been a while since he's been down.
36:32It has to be at least a couple of days.
36:47I can't tell how long he's been deceased.
36:56I can't lift him.
37:02The skin is starting to fall apart.
37:05That's usually from the heat.
37:07I just need to do an inspection of him before I call the medical examiners.
37:15And there's nobody else to help me, because I can't hold him and take a picture.
37:20It's too heavy.
37:21Let me get these.
37:26See what I can do.
37:40Most of the time, the medical examiners, they call it declined jurisdiction.
37:45They won't come pick up his body if he has medical issues,
37:51because they want a funeral home to just take him.
37:57Funeral home called me and said that they're on their way.
38:02I don't know yet what he died of, but so many people do die of heat out here.
38:08I've seen the bad ones.
38:10I've seen the fresh ones.
38:13I just hope if I ever die at my house, I'm, like, found right away.
38:33776, 1051.
38:34Yeah, I can start to keep on the right side of Colorado.
38:37Termin' possibly 1056, I'm speeding.
38:411078.
38:45737-76-1051.
38:47So we are going to an accident right around the corner,
38:50and it's said that one of the drivers was possibly intoxicated.
38:58So this is interesting.
39:01Kind of one of those things, like, how does this even happen?
39:10Oh, my Lord.
39:14Hello.
39:15All righty, so who's driving what?
39:17I looked up.
39:18They were right here in the middle of the street,
39:20and I slammed right into them.
39:23Going probably about 45.
39:25I hit them good.
39:26Okay.
39:27Do you want to come back up over here with me?
39:29Just kind of get away from the car?
39:30Yeah, no, I'm fully, like, I'm the guy.
39:35You're the guy?
39:36What do you mean?
39:38I'm the one wrong.
39:39I'm sorry.
39:39I'm freaking out.
39:40It's okay, Ben.
39:41Do you want to take a seat on the curb for a second
39:43and just kind of relax?
39:46Take a second, relax.
39:48I'm sorry.
39:49I'm sorry I'm shaking up.
39:50It's all right, man.
39:51You're fine.
39:53All righty.
39:53Do you have anything to drink tonight?
39:55Yeah.
39:55Okay.
39:56Yeah.
39:56How much did you drink?
39:57Enough to up.
39:59But, yeah, I...
40:00Enough to you up?
40:01Enough to, uh, yeah.
40:03How many are we talking?
40:04Yeah.
40:05Four or five?
40:07All right.
40:08Come walk over here for me.
40:10Are you willing to do a PBT?
40:11I'm willing to do everything.
40:14You're going to keep going until I tell you to stop, okay?
40:16All right, go ahead.
40:18Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
40:21Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
40:22Hang tight, he's terrific.
40:25Oof.
40:260.17.
40:35How are you doing?
40:43At least it's not your car, right?
40:45I was telling you, this thing's brand new, though.
40:47It's, like, smells new.
40:48Oh, really?
40:49Yeah.
40:51I didn't have a chance to talk to you guys.
40:52I was trying to deal with him when I first showed up.
40:55But you guys are all okay, I mean, do you need any medical attention right now?
40:59No?
40:59Okay.
41:00Well, I'm glad you guys are all good.
41:02All righty.
41:03Have a good night.
41:03Yeah, you too.
41:08When I got here, talked to him real quick.
41:11Pretty evident.
41:11We had odor of intoxicants.
41:13I had flirt speech, red, watery bloodshot eyes.
41:15All things that kind of go into a DUI.
41:17Okay.
41:18Thank you so much.
41:20Once again, sorry for taking your guys' time.
41:29Thanks again, partner.
41:30Is that what you said?
41:32All right.
41:40All right.
41:42I do think a lot of DUIs in general happen because people just don't think they're going
41:49to get caught.
41:51I think it's definitely something that it's just easier to not drink and drive.
41:57It's not worth it, especially when you're driving in the desert at night.
42:03But just another day in Puma County.
