TVTranscript
00:22One mistake out here could be the difference between life or death.
00:25You have no idea what you're going to encounter.
00:30People come up here when they're on their run.
00:32He's running, he's running.
00:33He's through there!
00:33And we'll find him.
00:34The allure to Alaska is just how wild it can be.
00:37Stop!
00:41Stop or you're going to get tasers!
00:43Stop!
00:44It's Alaska State Troopers.
00:45You're on our left.
00:47Oh, stop.
00:49You don't have a boring day as a State Trooper in Alaska.
00:51Stop, fire, stop, fire!
00:52Move them around, stop!
00:53State Troopers!
00:54Do not move!
00:55Let me see your hand!
00:55Let's go!
01:11I'm Josh Jaworski.
01:13I work for the Criminal Suppression Unit with the Alaska State Troopers.
01:19We're going to stop that jeep that just turned onto this road here onto Pittman.
01:24Made an improper turn and cut into the oncoming lane.
01:32Back home, 46, 10-36.
01:40Hey, sir.
01:41Hey, how you doing?
01:42Good.
01:42I'm tripping you for the State Troopers.
01:43The reason I stopped you is just making that turn you came into the on.
01:46Came in too close.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Right when I did it, I'd seen it.
01:49Then I'd seen it with you.
01:49I'm like, oh, that's great.
01:51Yeah.
01:51My license is expired.
01:54I've been in insurance.
01:55I'm still trying to get it.
01:57Where are you heading to today?
01:58Right down the street.
02:00Okay.
02:00I just moved there.
02:01I'll be right back with you.
02:02Okay, thank you.
02:03Yep.
02:03I'll be right back with you.
02:12That's the IC 46, 27-29 out of California.
02:17He's expired out of California.
02:19Expired 9-13-14.
02:21Down to four.
02:24Is there any reason why you're out driving tonight?
02:26It says you haven't had a license since 2014.
02:29That's just the last time I got pulled over out here,
02:30they just told me it was expired.
02:32They didn't tell me when.
02:32Do you got anything illegal on you or in the vehicle?
02:35Nope.
02:36All right.
02:36Are you all right if I check and make sure
02:38there's nothing on you or in the vehicle?
02:40By all means, buddy.
02:41All right.
02:43If you could just hit out at the hood of my car,
02:45if you need anything from me, just let me know.
02:46Yeah, no problem.
02:47And I'll come talk to you.
02:57Well, I appreciate it, dude.
02:59You're good to go.
02:59Just know if you got stopped by somebody else for driving with no insurance,
03:05something you can go to jail for.
03:06It's a crime.
03:08Can I go to my house?
03:09It's right down the street.
03:10Can't give you permission?
03:11But like I said, I'm going to flip around and go to you on my way that way.
03:14Weigh your wrists and make whatever decision is best for you, OK?
03:16All right.
03:17Appreciate it.
03:18I could have written him, you know, a no-vol ticket for operating a vehicle without a valid license for
03:25more than a year.
03:26But am I going to, you know, arrest this person and spend the next three hours when I could be
03:30arresting somebody that's, you know, got a stolen gun on him or something?
03:34That's just my take on it.
03:38I'm going to take a close look at this van in front of us.
03:41NCIC 46, 28, 29.
03:51I'm going to make 1036 on that vehicle.
03:56Can't believe the sales already started up.
04:02Hey, guys.
04:03I'm Jabri Iworski.
04:05The reason I stopped is the registered owner of the vehicle came back with a revoked license.
04:09Just wanted to make sure you got a ballot.
04:10We just bought this.
04:12Oh, you did?
04:12Yeah.
04:13OK.
04:13We're going to the DMV's mile to go get a discoverer.
04:16OK.
04:16Where are you guys heading to tonight?
04:18I was just going right down the road.
04:20Yeah.
04:20A couple houses down, dude.
04:22OK.
04:22And I just got to see your license, man.
04:25Mine?
04:26Yeah.
04:26I don't have my driver's license.
04:29What's that?
04:29I don't have my driver's license.
04:33I don't have it.
04:34OK.
04:34Cool.
04:34What's your name?
04:37I'm just going to keep it real with you.
04:39I don't have a driver's license.
04:41OK.
04:41She does.
04:42I do.
04:42She's just been tired and not feeling good.
04:44So I just...
04:45Well, I appreciate your honesty, man.
04:47I'll be right back with you guys.
04:48Yeah.
04:54A little concerned with the driver's behavior.
04:57He opened his wallet in front of his girlfriend and she pointed out his license and then he
05:01closed it.
05:03Defensive with her, saying, no, I don't have it.
05:05Yelled at her, essentially.
05:06Provided a name instead.
05:07We'll see if this is really him.
05:0910-4.
05:10That's going to be the transfer pending.
05:11Does he have any open court cases?
05:13He has one for theft and fraud.
05:17A lot of prior cases.
05:19Still open for theft and second degree.
05:22Fraudulent use of a stolen access device.
05:25Access devices are like identifying documents like a driver's license and credit cards and
05:30stuff like that.
05:31Back on 46, if there's another unit nearby, can you have him start heading my way?
05:36Yeah.
05:37And is there anything illegal in the vehicle?
05:39Firearms or anything like that?
05:40No.
05:41OK.
05:42Are you OK with me checking the vehicle and make sure there's nothing illegal in it?
05:46Like, just looking?
05:48Yeah.
05:51Um...
05:51Yeah?
05:51OK.
05:52Yeah.
05:52OK, cool.
05:53Can you just hop on out for me real quick?
05:56It won't take too long.
05:57Pound 46, consent search.
06:06There's a loaded needle of heroin right here.
06:09Some crystal methamphetamine.
06:11Tar heroin here.
06:13This is like a typical drug kit we would find for user amount of controlled substances.
06:22He did have his ID on him.
06:26That's the ID that's in his wallet.
06:30Hey, man.
06:30So are you...
06:32Are you Dustin...
06:35OK, why do you have his wallet?
06:37He was with us the other day.
06:40Why do you have it?
06:41Uh, he left it in the car.
06:44Yeah, but you're like holding it and opening it like you...
06:47Your stuff's in it too.
06:49I know, but...
06:50I just...
06:51It's a cool wallet.
06:52He left it in the car.
06:53Are you Katie?
06:55I don't have a .
06:56You're .
06:57Yeah.
06:58Who's...
06:58Why is Katie's ID in the purse?
07:00Me?
07:01Yeah.
07:02That might be his girlfriend.
07:03Katie?
07:04Who's...
07:04So whose purse is that?
07:06That's my purse.
07:06That's your purse?
07:07But I just found that ID.
07:09You just found this?
07:10Yeah.
07:11OK.
07:12Whose drugs are in the car?
07:13What drugs are you talking about?
07:14There's heroin in the car.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Yeah.
07:19Yeah, we're gonna...
07:20We're gonna shoot up.
07:21OK.
07:21Just hang out here for a second.
07:22I'll be right back.
07:30Probably stole out of his mail.
07:32What, five different people's stuff?
07:34Yeah.
07:35Stolen debit and credit cards.
07:37Stolen ID cards.
07:38Stolen Social Security cards.
07:40I think we could probably separate them.
07:42I'll take him.
07:46What's up with all the other people's stuff in your wallet?
07:49I just...
07:50I put my debit cards in his wallet,
07:53because it was a bigger wallet than what I had.
07:54I had a little cheap wallet.
07:56I don't like it.
07:57I like that.
07:58I mean, it just...
07:58It was theirs.
07:59You liked his wallet more.
08:01Did you guys swipe his card anywhere
08:02to buy yourself food or get yourself gas?
08:05Any charges that are gonna be on any of his stuff?
08:08No.
08:09No?
08:09Just have his wallet in his stuff?
08:10Yeah.
08:10OK.
08:11What'd he say about all the cards?
08:13He said that those were all in Dustin's wallet already,
08:15and he just added his stuff to Dustin's wallet.
08:18OK.
08:18She told me this is his wallet.
08:21She said they found them all.
08:22OK.
08:23And that they tried to use the wallet.
08:25And I specifically asked him,
08:26is there gonna be any charges to the gas station for any of those?
08:30And he was like, no.
08:31I'll never use that.
08:32I think they can all go for depth of access device for each of those people.
08:36Yep.
08:37I'm gonna be honest with you.
08:39You guys are gonna go to jail tonight.
08:42Yeah, I just...
08:43I don't know.
08:44I know it looks really, really bad, man.
08:46Right.
08:47You know, if we call these people and they're like, yeah, no, I never gave that dude permission
08:51to have my debit card or my credit card.
08:53It's...
08:54You're literally holding it, man.
08:56Yeah.
08:57With your ID card in it.
08:58Is there anything that you want to tell me before we...
09:01Anything you think I should know or anything you want?
09:04I don't know.
09:05I just...
09:08Anything that's bad for me to be done?
09:10You need to take a leak, or?
09:12I think number two.
09:13Number two.
09:14Okay, we can't do that on the side of the road.
09:16We'll get you somewhere.
09:17You got anyone you can call to come pick up your van?
09:23We're going to jail.
09:24I need you to come grab my van.
09:27Colts Road.
09:27Right on the corner.
09:28I don't know what my bail's gonna be, but can you help me out on bail?
09:32Alright.
09:33I love you, man.
09:34I'm sorry that you have to deal with this.
09:37So each have previous convictions for misconduct involving controlled substances.
09:42So they'll have a felony possession of controlled substances.
09:47And then they'll need to get 12 counts of theft of access devices.
09:51Which he is on conditions of release for right now.
09:53So this is what the criminal suppression unit comes out to try to do.
09:57You know, took a traffic stop and, you know, recovered 12 stolen access devices.
10:19Back and we'll be 22.
10:21I'm a member of our South Central SWAT team.
10:24Trooper Yaworski, he's one of the criminal suppression unit guys.
10:28Him and Trooper Harris are watching a camper that we believe a robbery suspect to be hiding out at.
10:35He's been running from us for a couple of weeks.
10:37He currently has an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
10:41He basically walked into some house with a machete and robbed them.
10:45He caused injury to that person with the machete as well.
10:48So he's got a $100,000 felony warrant right now.
10:53We did get some intel.
10:54Some people were telling us after this robbery that our suspect was at least trying to get his hands on
11:00a gun,
11:00which is the biggest reason that we're going to be looking for this to be a SWAT mission.
11:06Dude, $102,000 in warrants? That's crazy.
11:11Curious if he's going to barricade or if he's just going to give up.
11:15Is there anybody watching the place?
11:17That close side.
11:18Okay.
11:19He's got previous convictions for a lot of theft, assaults.
11:22Misconduct involving weapons.
11:24He is a self-proclaimed member of the 1488s, which is kind of like a white supremacy gang up here.
11:31Definitely somebody we want to take seriously and be careful with.
11:36The suspect looks like he's leaving the trailer.
11:40Got a bunch of bags with him.
11:43Oh, hello?
11:45If you can get behind him, they're hit pretty quick.
11:48We're going to kill them now.
11:52Drive to date, safety passenger.
11:54It's clear that it's yellow, white, and black on the hood.
11:59That match for the C padre's whatever you wear.
12:01Red four-door sedan.
12:20Don't move!
12:23Put your hands up!
12:25Front seat passenger, stay there!
12:30Our suspect basically walked into some house with a machete and robbed them, so definitely
12:36somebody we want to take seriously and be careful with.
12:39Don't move!
12:40Don't move!
12:42Put your hands up!
12:44Driver, turn the vehicle!
12:49Hands on the roof!
12:51Back seat passenger, step out of the vehicle with your hands up!
12:57Front seat passenger, stay there!
13:00Hands up!
13:03Walk backwards towards me!
13:07Stop!
13:08Put your hood down!
13:11From the back of your shirt, lift your hoodie!
13:15Spin around in a circle!
13:18Keep spinning!
13:20Rob, take over!
13:22Face away from me!
13:23Walk backwards to the sound of my voice!
13:24Come back to me!
13:25Keep your hands up!
13:27Keep your hands up!
13:28Just keep coming back!
13:29Keep coming back!
13:30Do you have anything on you that's going to poke, stab, or stick me?
13:33Appreciate it.
13:34Okay.
13:35All right.
13:35Go.
13:37Give a warrant for your arrest.
13:39We appreciate that.
13:42No problem, sir.
13:44It's detained.
13:45We're working on the other two passengers in the vehicle.
13:48Driver!
13:49Exit the vehicle!
13:50Face away from me!
13:52Walk backwards to the sound of my voice!
14:00All right, you're in the front seat.
14:02Step out.
14:02Keep your hands up.
14:03Face away from us.
14:05Yeah, come around the front.
14:07Walk over to here.
14:08Walk over to here.
14:09All right.
14:10Hey, you're not going to move, guys.
14:11Here, just be in the tent.
14:12Did I do something you don't know?
14:14I don't know what happened.
14:16I'm clear up here.
14:17We're good.
14:18Yep.
14:20Over before it started.
14:21I knew that was going to happen.
14:22Yeah.
14:24Couldn't really go much better, though.
14:26No, that was good.
14:28That's why we make our contingency plans.
14:31Good thing we were all still prepared for that to occur, because that was our guy in the back of
14:36the car.
14:37Fortunately, they decided to come here for gas.
14:39They didn't even know we were behind them until the last second.
14:43Probably would have been a different story had he been driving, but because he was a rear-seat passenger, it
14:49went very smoothly.
14:50Room for a couple more?
15:07I'm Trooper Jason Venable.
15:09I've been with the Alaska State Troopers for about three years now.
15:12It's a weekend.
15:13We're getting closer to the Halloween season, so we're going to start seeing parties happening on the weekends, people going
15:18out, having fun.
15:20They'll be big on DUI enforcement.
15:22So hopefully this weekend we can find some crime going on, maybe get some drugs or a couple of DUI
15:28stops.
15:32Back on 48.
15:3448.
15:35That was a 10.50.
15:36Looks like vehicle versus moose.
15:38Southbound KGB at MAC, I believe.
15:41Looks like somebody hit a moose back here, so we're going to stop out and see what we can do
15:45with this moose.
15:52Hi, moosen.
15:53Can you get up?
16:02Well, I don't see who hit it.
16:03It looks like it can get up and walk away, so I guess we'll get out of here.
16:09Moose are big, they're really tall, and they're very dark.
16:12So moose crashes are huge here.
16:15We have hundreds a year.
16:16He looked like he could walk okay.
16:18He didn't seem like he had any broken legs or anything, so hopefully he'll just walk it off and just
16:24be a little sore tomorrow.
16:24Go on.
16:28On the side of the road.
16:29Coming, on the side of the road.
16:30Also, pull out on a red light in front of another vehicle, almost 10.50.
16:34No.
16:3648.10.
16:37Okay.
16:39Wasilla PD has a fail to yield.
16:41They tried to make a traffic stop on somebody driving a, sounds like an ATV in the roadway.
16:46It's eluding them currently, so we're going to head that way.
16:51We fell on the shoulder of the oncoming.
16:53One vehicle coming by.
16:5510.50, it's a foot pursuit.
16:57Copy, 10.50, foot pursuit.
17:02We were stuck in the creek.
17:03They have exited creek and are headed over towards Fern.
17:07Copy, headed towards Fern.
17:09That's the clothing description.
17:12One middle's got a tan car hard.
17:13The other one's got a blue parka with high bed strips on it.
17:1710.50.
17:19Not towards Fern.
17:20They should be right here in that patch.
17:22Well, right now, it sounds like the drone can see one of them.
17:30You in the woods, this is the Alaska State Troopers.
17:34Come out with your hands up with nothing in them.
17:37We can see you on a drone, and the canine has been deployed to come get you.
17:44If you do not give up now, you may be injured.
17:4848, contact.
17:50Hands up!
17:51Walk out!
17:52Keep your hands up!
17:5348, we've got the one in the blue with the reflective straits jacket.
17:58Keep walking this way!
17:59Keep walking this way!
18:00The drone is above the runner.
18:03Stop!
18:04Keep your hands up!
18:04Copy, drone.
18:05What's the easiest way for us to get to the other one that's running?
18:08He's 700 meters south-west of your position.
18:12Get down!
18:13Get down!
18:13Put your hands behind your back!
18:1410.4.
18:15All right, get up on your knees, and we'll stand up and go to my car, okay?
18:18There you go.
18:19Stand up.
18:21Okay, we're going to go to the second vehicle right here in front, and I'm going to pat you
18:23down, and it'll get you out of the cold.
18:25All right, go ahead.
18:29Suspect's on our trail.
18:30He's heading towards the towards bottom.
18:3310.
18:34I'll go to the south side of the storage unit on this small side road.
18:38So, we caught that first one.
18:40Uh, it sounds like the second one's just kind of over here in the woods a little ways.
18:46It's the Alaska State Troopers and the Wasilla Police Department.
18:51We are tracking you with a drone and have a canine.
18:56You need to walk out with your hands up.
19:02There he is.
19:03There he is.
19:04He's running across KGB.
19:06I'll be running across KGB.
19:13You're in the woods.
19:14This is the Alaska State Troopers.
19:15You need to walk out with your hands up.
19:22There he is.
19:23There he is.
19:24He's running across KGB.
19:29I'll be running across KGB.
19:33I'm trying to go overhead.
19:34We don't have the snowboard there.
19:38I'll be running across KGB.
19:41I'll be running across KGB.
19:42Stop running.
19:43Come here.
19:55Just hold there.
19:56Don't run in the woods.
19:58He's on the main road towards Endeavor.
20:02Left to main road on the west side of the fence in the baseball field.
20:07He's running through the baseball field, it sounds like.
20:13Animal, you can call us.
20:15Get ahead of him.
20:16Deavor.
20:17I'm coming down at Endeavor now.
20:25So he's directly ahead of us over the drone.
20:28We're kind of on the top of the hill.
20:30It drops down through here.
20:34We're going to join the track team with the K9 here in a second.
20:38And that way they know where we are using my iTech.
20:411B48 is up on iTech.
20:431B4 copies.
20:44I'm tracking.
20:50We're just going to work our way to suspect and see what happens.
20:54Okay.
20:54Ready when you are.
20:55I don't believe it.
20:58I don't believe it.
21:24You can put it down and just walk it down.
21:26He's to our right.
21:30The prospect just bedded down.
21:32He's laying underneath some bushes.
21:34Police K9.
21:36You and the brush.
21:37Be too now.
21:37You may be fit.
21:40And he's up and running together.
21:42And he's running.
21:43The advisor is one moose that's standing up there.
21:47Drones are coming back.
21:49We're getting high wind warnings.
21:51You can double back on us?
21:52Problem.
21:53I mean, you could have...
21:56Yeah, where is that moose?
22:00We're going to work our way out to the Riley extension.
22:03There's a marked unit over there.
22:04We can see where we're going to walk towards.
22:06Caller today.
22:08The drones lost him.
22:09K9 never was able to pick him up.
22:11So at this point, we know who he is.
22:12We know they show a warrant for his arrest.
22:13But we got one of them.
22:15We still have a police department.
22:16Took him into custody.
22:17So it's nice to be able to help out our local guys.
22:19We have a little bit more shift coverage.
22:21So we had some guys to bring out and help these guys out tonight.
22:43Sergeant Chris Havens.
22:44It's a Friday and I'm working day shift.
22:48It is a Halloween night.
22:49So we're just getting in the night now.
22:51Every year I basically get at you on Halloween doing traffic enforcement or whatnot.
22:57All right.
22:58Hello.
22:59We're going to go.
22:59I can take these too.
23:01Do you want a photo in front of the car?
23:04Do you want a photo?
23:06This is not the first Halloween experience to where we've had police officers and people
23:13that are inmates.
23:14I assume.
23:15We saw you guys.
23:16We're like, oh my goodness, we have to go.
23:18A little bit of community engagement.
23:20Any good interaction with a police officer is a good thing.
23:23Jail time.
23:24Jail time.
23:25Thank you so much.
23:26Yeah, no problem.
23:27Nice seeing you.
23:28Nice meeting you.
23:31We're going to slide by these other units that are making contact with somebody that was
23:35involved in a burglary.
23:36The complainant had reported that they were observing their property and maybe seen somebody
23:41at the end of the driveway that was trespassing or attempting to steal some property.
23:46One of the unique things is complainant had mentioned to dispatch that they were dressed
23:50in a vampire costume with red eyes.
23:54Michael, mommy and I know I'll be out with 53.
23:57There's somebody to drop my driveway that's not supposed to be there.
24:00They're in a green pickup truck.
24:01I don't know what they're doing.
24:02I can see them moving through the coax trees.
24:04Can we go back and stay by our vehicle just for your safety?
24:06Okay.
24:07Thank you, sir.
24:08Would you like them to be trespassed from the property?
24:10Absolutely.
24:11Okay.
24:11So we'll trespass them.
24:12Just going to have to move the car out of the way so they can leave.
24:15Hey, show your hands.
24:16Stay troopers.
24:17Come back to us.
24:18Come back over here, sir.
24:22NCIC 1B38102829.
24:22Yep.
24:23Come to us.
24:23Keep your hands up.
24:24Go ahead and sit on the bumper right here.
24:26Yep.
24:26Come to us.
24:28Well, do you guys have any weapons on you?
24:30No.
24:31Not at all.
24:32Hey, come over here for me, sir.
24:34Turn around for me.
24:35Put your hands behind your back.
24:36You guys don't belong here, so that's why we're detaining you.
24:39This isn't your property.
24:40Just parse you for a second.
24:41Nope, that doesn't make sense.
24:42This is a long driveway.
24:43There's no reason to parse yourself.
24:48There's somebody to drop my driveway that's not supposed to be there.
24:51Would you like them to be trespassed from the property?
24:53Absolutely.
24:54Put your hands behind your back.
24:55You guys don't belong here, so that's why we're detaining you.
24:58This isn't your property.
24:59Just parse you for a second.
25:00Nope, that doesn't make sense.
25:01This is a long driveway.
25:02There's no reason to park here.
25:03I just asked him to go to the bathroom.
25:06I was just trying to go pee.
25:08So you guys are being trespassed for life.
25:10That means if you're seen on camera, in person,
25:14or we catch you on the property, you're going to go to jail.
25:17Right.
25:17That's the truck.
25:18So I caught them coming in.
25:19Do you mind?
25:20I just want to zoom in on something.
25:22This is my mom's stuff.
25:23This is them coming in.
25:24Correct.
25:25Do you want to take a quick look in the bed of the truck,
25:26make sure they don't throw anything else new in there?
25:28Just make sure there's nothing that you recognize.
25:39Yes, you are good to go.
25:43I think the other trooper had mentioned
25:44that you may want to hang up another camera or you're intending on.
25:47Yeah, so I'm going to have to put another one that faces the house.
25:50OK.
25:50If you do put it up high as possible, like, use a ladder,
25:54because we have seen people that will seal the cameras.
25:58All right.
25:59All right.
25:59Thank you, guys.
25:59Yeah, no problem.
26:00Have a good evening.
26:01Tried to get dispatched to sleep.
26:02Let's see, he's dressed as a vampire.
26:04I wouldn't have called it a vampire if I didn't see the red eyes,
26:07but yeah.
26:19It's Halloween night in the Matsu Valley.
26:21We're headed to back up Trooper Belliston.
26:24He's on his way to a welfare check.
26:26Sounds of a female crying at one of our gas stations,
26:29kind of on the outside of town, saying someone left her there.
26:34See if we can't find this individual, make sure she's OK,
26:37and see if she needs any kind of help from us.
26:41Oh, yeah, she's just sitting on the ground screaming at him.
26:54I'm trying to calm down a little bit, OK?
26:57Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
27:00Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
27:03Do you have somebody you can call that can give you a round?
27:07I'm trying.
27:08Nobody look.
27:10Oh, my God.
27:12Who's somebody that we can call for?
27:18OK, don't, don't throw this at me.
27:20I've been trying to calm and trying to get home!
27:25OK, I understand you're trying to go home, but like I said,
27:31I can't give you a ride all the way to Eagle River.
27:36If you take a deep breath and talk to me,
27:39we might be able to give you a-
27:41Hey, do you want your phone?
27:42Do you want your stuff?
27:47I didn't get, like, overly intoxicated.
27:50Like, she was just insane because her friends left her.
27:53Right.
28:02What can we do to help you?
28:03I need to get home!
28:05OK, well...
28:06I just want to go home!
28:08OK, can we take you somewhere into town for right now?
28:11I just want to go home.
28:13OK.
28:14OK, we...
28:14Can we bring you to, like, the ride chair?
28:20Hey, your phone's on his hood.
28:25You want your phone?
28:26Yes, I would like my phone.
28:28OK, it's right there.
28:29Where?
28:30On the hood of his car, and then your shoes are right there.
28:37Would you like a ride into town?
28:41You want your shoes?
28:42Yeah.
28:47I think she's just highly emotional.
28:50She's hitchhiking after we just offered her a ride.
28:54OK.
28:56What would you consider that costume as?
28:57Well, it's not a pirate.
28:58No.
28:59Oh, yeah, the ears.
29:16Well, today, I think winter decided it was finally going to show up.
29:20Last night was Halloween, and kids were out trick-or-treating in the rain.
29:24And then today, we wake up, and we got a couple inches of snow.
29:28So people are definitely slipping and sliding.
29:30We're all just trying to play Alaska's favorite game of whose lane is it anyways.
29:36Our DOT's been out, and they've been trying to hit the roads as hard as they can, but they
29:40got a lot of roads to cover.
29:42We're taking multiple calls of about six or seven vehicles that have split into the ditch.
29:49So we just got called to an area that's kind of notoriously known for us.
29:54Cars are coming down the hills, seeing cars in the ditch, hitting their brakes, going into
29:59the ditch themselves.
30:01Given the elevation here, the road freezes at a different time than the surrounding roads.
30:06This is going to be a really difficult road to navigate.
30:12Fairbank 6, I'm 23, I want to start working on getting the roads shut down before we start
30:17getting additionals.
30:18Make sure we're safe, make sure other people are safe, and then we go for a hike.
30:31There's a car coming.
30:36That corner right there, it doesn't matter how much you try to correctively drive, it's
30:40a nightmare.
30:41Okay, let's start taking a look at some things here.
30:45You don't think it will drive?
30:46I think it will.
30:47Okay.
30:47Uh, what we're going to do is we're going to start exchanging information.
30:58Stop!
31:01Heads up!
31:01Damn!
31:03Shut it!
31:04It's going to go into the pile.
31:06Get out of the way!
31:07Everyone!
31:08Oh my God!
31:10Go ahead!
31:11Go ahead!
31:11Go ahead!
31:12Go ahead!
31:12Go ahead!
31:14Go ahead!
31:16Go ahead!
31:17Go ahead!
31:17Go ahead!
31:17halved?
31:17Their vehicle crew crew coals have about six or seven vehicles that have split into
31:21the ditch.
31:22It's going to go into the pile.
31:24Get out of the way.
31:2937, six, just find a good spot with good sight lines.
31:33And then set up cones or flares, and just block the road.
31:36Our primary goal is just to keep additional cars from being involved in this collision.
31:41Go straight, go straight.
31:44I'd rather not get to theeng.
31:45Go straight.
31:46He's got tape on.
31:47Does he?
31:48Yeah.
31:48OK.
31:50Somebody able-bodied with decent boots on
31:52who can start working a shovel for me.
31:54At the intersection right here is a box that has sand in it.
31:58We have easy access to a large amount of sand,
32:01so we can start putting it down so that we can get traction
32:03for these vehicles.
32:04This is me, yeah.
32:05Careful, careful.
32:06Oh, .
32:08Who was the first car that was in the ditch?
32:10The red truck.
32:11The red truck?
32:11You're not getting out without a tow truck.
32:13Do you got a tow truck coming, or?
32:14Uh, no, I do not.
32:16OK.
32:18I think that's enough to do something.
32:21OK.
32:21We're going to try to just push it off the vehicle.
32:24Watch your toes there.
32:26I'm on me, sir.
32:26Hold on.
32:27Hold on, go.
32:31OK.
32:32Just keep going.
32:34Just keep going.
32:39It's our first accident.
32:41And hopefully, you last.
32:42I thought so.
32:47Back up a little ways, so you're disconnected from this car.
32:51OK, nice and slow.
32:52OK, you're clear.
32:53All right, I'm out of here.
32:54OK.
32:55Bye.
32:59Yeah, your back tire here is not even touching the ground.
33:02You've gotten all but two of the vehicles out of the ditch, and they're going to need a winch
33:06out.
33:11So I got to ask, what were you for Halloween?
33:13Me and some friends were just being dumb and painted ourselves different colors.
33:17He was red.
33:18The other guy was blue.
33:19I was green.
33:20There you go.
33:21We all noticed it, right?
33:22We just were being nice and not saying anything?
33:24OK.
33:29Up the hill, just nice and slow, low gear.
33:31Don't mess with your brakes.
33:32Don't mess with nothing.
33:34Once you start going, don't stop.
33:36Go, go, go, go, go.
33:37Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
33:39Go.
33:40Grab it like he's stolen.
33:43Oh.
33:48Ah, watch out.
33:49Oh, .
33:50You can steer in straight.
33:52If you're going in the ditch, steer in straight or you're going to roll it.
33:57Well, that ain't going to work.
33:58No.
34:02Hey, sir.
34:04We finally got our tow truck here.
34:05He's helping people out.
34:06He didn't come up here for this.
34:08He just happened to be driving by.
34:10Said, yeah, I can help out the situation.
34:12That's the great thing about a place like Fairbanks is that we have people around that
34:15are willing to help each other out.
34:17He gets you spun back around and you can just slowly creep down and I'll move those cones
34:22for you so you can just keep going.
34:23I don't want to hit your car.
34:23I don't want you to hit my car either.
34:25That's the only thing.
34:25Yeah.
34:26Shouldn't be any surprise for anybody that we get winters in Alaska.
34:30None of them really had adequate tires.
34:32You know, people didn't have the gear in their vehicles that they should have had.
34:36Keep traction sand.
34:37Keep gloves.
34:38Don't go out for the trip that you think you're traveling.
34:40Go out for the trip that you may be in.
34:56You got a van here with an out brake light.
35:00You flip around on them and got trapped to stop.
35:20You go out for the trip.
35:24That's the same thing.
35:32You're on your way.
35:33You're on your way.
35:33You're on your way.
35:42The driver's got some prior convictions for MIX 4 and prior distribution charges.
35:47The driver's got some prior convictions.
36:06Can you hop out real quick for me to chat with you outside?
36:14I just wanted to ask you real quick.
36:16So I've seen the burnt tinfoil on the car.
36:22Right there on the floorboard, I can see it.
36:24It's got burnt drug residue on it.
36:25It gives me reason to believe there might be some drugs in the car.
36:29So our options are is that we can do a consent search if that's okay with you or I search
36:34it on the side of the road.
36:35If you don't want to do that, you can apply for a search warrant.
36:41Kick my ass.
36:42Are you okay with me searching the vehicle?
36:44Yes.
36:44Okay, all right.
36:45Just go ahead and stand at the hood right there for me.
36:50It smells like gasoline in the car.
36:52Oh, I see it.
36:53Oh my goodness.
36:54That's a cute dog too.
37:06What's loaded in these?
37:07Is this just water or is it meth?
37:09It's like a rinse.
37:10Like a rinse?
37:11Or cotton?
37:12Yeah.
37:12I don't see any actual drugs and there's a ton of drug paraphernalia.
37:17I'm just going to test one of these real quick.
37:19Make sure it's just rinse and then I'll get you guys out of here.
37:22Okay?
37:23You're going to test the bottle for meth because I rinsed my bottle.
37:26Whatever.
37:27Like you had meth in your cotton and then.
37:36I just have a Nartec.
37:38It's a field test for methamphetamine.
37:40So squeeze a little bit on the top there.
37:43If it turns blue, then it'll be a presumptive positive for methamphetamine.
37:47And we'll send the rest of it to the crime lab.
37:50And there's a ton of these things uncapped in the vehicle.
37:53So you got to be super careful when you're searching.
37:55The tips of those needles can get bent up and at like a 90 degree angle.
37:59I've seen a lot of the guys I work with get stuck with them.
38:03A little bit of blue to it.
38:04It's not super potent, but you can see around the rim there.
38:07It's a presumptive positive for methamphetamine.
38:10So tend to believe it probably is rinse or super diluted meth,
38:14but she's got another needle like that in her kit.
38:16So we'll seize both of those and send them off to the crime lab for testing.
38:21If the crime lab gets a positive, she'll get a felony drug possession charge for it.
38:27She's got a prior in the last 10 years.
38:31But for now, we're going to cut her loose.
38:34Well, I appreciate you guys. You guys have a good day.
39:02We're now headed to the airport. We're going to be flying out to a local village.
39:05A few days ago, there was a report of an assault, a pretty serious one,
39:11where our VPO out of this village attempted to arrest the suspect and he got attacked.
39:19So we're responding to arrest the suspect.
39:32So the story goes is after the suspect resists arrest and assaults our VPO.
39:39The VPO leaves, comes here, calls us.
39:43We hear a disturbance in the background.
39:47It turns out that the suspect kicks open door.
39:49They get into an altercation over here, and we hear the phone being broken
39:56because he's calling us, right?
39:58What a mess, man.
39:59A suspect called last night, so a trooper was on standby,
40:03and said that he was willing to turn himself in.
40:05So hopefully, all goes well.
40:06Hopefully, he still wants to do that.
40:12Hey, man, you don't got any weapons on here or anything?
40:15No, no, no.
40:16Okay.
40:17So at this time, you're under arrest.
40:20Yes.
40:21I want to talk to you.
40:22Take a seat, man.
40:24So how did this whole thing start?
40:26Like, why was there in the first place?
40:28I think I was probably causing a disturbance, maybe.
40:32So tell me all about that disturbance.
40:33I don't remember the disturbance.
40:35Okay.
40:36How much did you have to drink that day?
40:37Um, I don't remember.
40:39It started beating on me.
40:42Um, and that's why I thought I could let the EV do that
40:45in front of, uh, all my kids there.
40:48And that's why I got mad and went to go look for him
40:50because he did that in front of my kids.
40:53So I'm turning myself in.
40:55Okay.
40:56So I'm going to tell you what I got.
40:57I got, like, the facts and circumstances that
40:59corroborate what you did.
41:01Right?
41:01That being the door being kicked in.
41:03Yes.
41:03Right?
41:04Did you grab the phone from him at all?
41:06Yes, I think I did.
41:07The other thing is we talked to witnesses that were there, too.
41:10Like, they kind of said the same thing,
41:12that you were out of control.
41:13Yeah.
41:13He came over to arrest you.
41:15Told you you were under arrest.
41:17And then you punched him in the eye.
41:19Yeah.
41:20He said that you put him in fear,
41:22that you put him in a chokehold,
41:24and that he almost passed out.
41:27Oh.
41:33So you're intent to break in, right?
41:36That's going to be a felony.
41:37And then you intended to harm him, right?
41:40Yeah.
41:40He said that you were pissed and broke his phone, right?
41:43Yes.
41:43You know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
41:45but I'm just being honest with you, right?
41:46Yes, yeah.
41:49So, we'll take you to Nome.
41:50Yes.
41:51We'll get an arraignment,
41:52then we'll see what the judge says from there.
41:54But it's not the end of the world, right?
41:56Yeah.
41:56It felt like it.
41:58This is the big wake-up call, right?
41:59Yeah, I hope so.
42:00I really hope so, too, man.
42:02I don't like seeing you like this.
42:18We're going to go back to Nome,
42:19where he'll be remanded on his charges.
42:22He talked about pretty much what he did,
42:26some spots in his own words he didn't remember.
42:30But with what he did give us,
42:31we have enough to go forward with the case.
42:35He turned himself in like he said,
42:37it was nobody else to hurt,
42:38so it was a good thing.
