00:00This is what an officer found during a traffic stop.
00:02Yeah, it's good.
00:05Oh! What the f***?
00:08And this is what they uncovered while stopping a 41-year-old man.
00:12That girl's not 18?
00:13No, she's not.
00:14Why is your zipper or your buttons down in your crotch?
00:17By the end, officers will uncover a man riding a Power Wheels toy,
00:22$2 million worth of coke, as well as a decomposing body.
00:26But let's start with the most bizarre interaction ever.
00:29The raccoon's playing with their meth pipe.
00:32All right.
00:36Oh, there's no one. He's trying to smoke it.
00:39All right.
00:39A Springfield Township officer initiated what seemed like a routine traffic stop,
00:44but he had no idea what kind of chaos he was walking into.
00:47Hi, how are we doing today? I'm Officer Brandon of Springfield Township Police Department.
00:51Okay, stop it. Stop it, Doug. How are you?
00:53Um, so the reason I stopped you is you are suspended with a warrant for your arrest.
01:00I am?
01:00So, do me a favor. Turn off the car, put the keys up on the dash.
01:04I'm paying you for that warrant, and because you are suspended actively.
01:08Oh.
01:09Hey.
01:10What?
01:11The raccoon has her meth pipe.
01:14Has what?
01:15Oh, my God.
01:16Her meth pipe.
01:17He's playing with the meth pipe right now.
01:20No, don't reach for it.
01:21That's evidence now.
01:23I don't want him to have that.
01:24Well, that's why I'm going to do it.
01:27Hey, buddy.
01:28Huh?
01:28It's okay.
01:30Can I have you, man?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Okay.
01:31This is what she's smoking meth in.
01:33Later investigation would reveal that the raccoon, named Chewy,
01:37had been around Victoria so long that it started picking up on her habits.
01:41The raccoon's playing with her meth pipe.
01:44All right.
01:47Oh, there's no way.
01:49He's trying to smoke it.
01:50All right.
01:52Thanks.
01:53There's no way.
01:56All right.
01:56All right.
01:57Enough fun and games.
01:59Here.
02:00Again?
02:01Oh.
02:03Yeah, he's on his way here.
02:04Keep an eye.
02:05She was trying to take the meth pipe out of the car.
02:07Just keep an eye on her real quick.
02:09Victoria was hit with a felony drug possession charge,
02:12three counts of drug paraphernalia,
02:14and a citation for driving under suspension.
02:16She could be facing up to three years in prison
02:19and fines as high as $10,000.
02:21As for the raccoon, officers secured him in a pet carrier
02:24and turned him over to wildlife authorities.
02:27He now remains under the care of Victoria's relatives.
02:30But while officers couldn't believe seeing a raccoon smoking a meth pipe,
02:34they had a much harder time explaining what they pulled over next.
02:37I've got a male adult on a Power Wheels.
02:40Have people complain on me, riding around on it?
02:43No.
02:43No?
02:44I've been riding these Power Wheels for the last nine months.
02:48Trooper Buchanan was patrolling North 2nd Street in Vincennes, Indiana,
02:52when he made an unusual discovery.
02:54He observed a 51-year-old man named John Albert McKee
02:58driving a children's Power Wheels jeep down the public road.
03:01I stopped him driving down 2nd Street.
03:03No lights on or nothing like that.
03:05What's my grounds if I get any impairment off of him?
03:09Yeah, man, it's a battery-powered jeep.
03:12No, it's not the pink one.
03:13It's just like that, but it's blue.
03:15With no lights or reflectors,
03:17that toy jeep was nearly invisible in the dark,
03:19putting the driver and everyone else on the road at serious risk.
03:22Can you stand up out of there for a second real quick, bud?
03:25Yeah.
03:26Do you have any knives on you or anything like that?
03:28Yeah, absolutely.
03:29You can take it off, throw it in the G-form here real quick.
03:32You have any drink or anything tonight?
03:34No.
03:34No, not at all?
03:35Okay.
03:35Keep your hands on your side.
03:36Don't move until I tell you to.
03:37Do not start until I tell you to.
03:38Do you understand?
03:39All right, whenever you're ready, okay?
03:47I've got a guy on a Power Wheels.
03:51So I run and feel so bright.
03:52I call Bill real quick.
03:52Am I still good on this?
03:54And he said, I'm pretty sure.
03:54He said, if it goes through, let me know.
03:56I'll make some double check-in.
03:57I was like, well, okay.
03:58I mean, it's a battery-powered vehicle driving down 2nd Street.
04:01No lights on, nothing.
04:02I don't have any odor of alcohol.
04:04He failed walk and turn, failed one leg,
04:07and he gave me his Romberg was about 17 seconds
04:10with some minor eyelid tremors.
04:16Anything, man?
04:18Following the failed field sobriety test,
04:20John was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital
04:23in Vincennes for chemical testing.
04:24See, that's what I'm going to do.
04:27Can I take that battery off?
04:28Yeah, let me grab it back real quick.
04:30Give me a citation or something?
04:32I said, I'm just giving you a warning
04:33for not having any lights on it, okay?
04:35I'm in front of me.
04:36Okay.
04:37What am I from me?
04:39I was only, like, four blocks from my house, sir.
04:41I know.
04:42And I'm just walking home.
04:44I don't know right now.
04:45Give me a ticket for an influence or whatever.
04:50Come on, sir.
04:51I mean, I guess I started out nice,
04:54and I started doing this.
04:55I wouldn't have tried to be nice.
04:58I just...
04:59That's just a lot to do with it.
05:01Sorry about that.
05:02So I know you said you got stuff in your system.
05:04What do you got in your system?
05:05Yeah, just much.
05:07You do what?
05:07Crystal meth.
05:08Crystal meth, okay.
05:09The results at the hospital confirmed
05:11that John was under the influence
05:12of both methamphetamine and marijuana.
05:15His prior OWI conviction
05:17upgraded the charge to a felony,
05:19meaning he's likely facing
05:20at least six months in county jail.
05:22But while officers don't typically stop men
05:25riding around on power wheels,
05:26it's more unlikely to pull someone over
05:28that's about to die from an overdose.
05:30I don't have his name or anything.
05:32You're taking nothing?
05:33No.
05:34We've given him two doses
05:35within the last minute.
05:37He'd have died, yeah.
05:39Hey, bud, can you wake up and talk to me?
05:41Hey.
05:42I warned you.
05:43I warned you.
05:45An officer from Columbus Police Department
05:47initiated contact with 23-year-old Brian
05:50after observing his erratic driving.
05:52What's going on, man?
05:55Um, I was just a bit tired,
05:57so I pulled over for a second.
05:58I'm trying to go to a nap.
06:01Okay.
06:03You haven't been drinking?
06:05No.
06:05No, I do not.
06:07No drugs?
06:08No.
06:08Here, no office.
06:10Hold on one moment.
06:11Where do you live?
06:12I'm on the phone.
06:13Uh, I live over in Galloway.
06:16On Galloway?
06:17In Galloway.
06:19Off, uh, Galloway Road.
06:22You're having a hard time
06:23keeping your eyes open, man.
06:24When's the last time you slept?
06:26Mm-hmm.
06:27It's been about a day and a half today.
06:37Hey.
06:37Hey.
06:39Yes, ma'am.
06:40Why haven't you slept in a day and a half?
06:42I just have a kid.
06:44You have a kid?
06:45Oh.
06:46You sure you haven't taken any drugs?
06:49Yes, I am.
06:50Are you lying to me?
06:51I'm having a pass.
06:53But not today?
06:56Oh, shit.
07:00You could, hey.
07:01You're falling asleep talking to me, man.
07:03I'm not falling asleep.
07:04I'm just stressed.
07:06What?
07:06I can't hear you.
07:07Oh, I apologize, man.
07:09You're what?
07:12What?
07:14What are you saying to me?
07:15I can't hear you.
07:16Are you talking to me?
07:17Yes, I'm talking to you.
07:18I apologize.
07:19I said, no, I can't remember.
07:21I'm right.
07:21I dropped it.
07:22At the time, Columbus was experiencing
07:24severe challenges with drug overdoses.
07:27So the moment Brian started showing signs of impairment,
07:30the officer jumped into action.
07:32Do me a favor.
07:33Get the keys out of the ignition.
07:40Turn your car off.
07:43Put the keys on the roof.
07:44On the roof?
07:45Yep.
07:45All right, stay put.
07:47Can you call and have them send a unit this way?
07:56Hey.
07:59194, can you start me a medic as well?
08:01He's ODing.
08:04Around 525 Columbus officers were carrying Narcan at the time,
08:08and they were using it regularly on overdose calls.
08:11That's why this officer didn't hesitate to get it into him fast.
08:14As time was running out,
08:16every second counted if she wanted to save his life.
08:24All right.
08:33194, Narcanda Floyd.
08:37Copy, Narcanda Floyd.
08:40She kept pushing Naloxone.
08:42As more units rolled up,
08:44every second was a fight against time.
08:46We've given him two doses
08:47within the last minute.
08:50Just wait like another two minutes.
08:52He reacted to the second dose.
08:56We've got a little bit of this.
09:03It went in with a little more piece.
09:06Regular red X-Rod on that car accident.
09:08That's my last one here.
09:09Which nostril did you guys use?
09:11Do you remember?
09:11We do both.
09:12We split half and half.
09:14I'm just doing one.
09:15I'm looking at you.
09:15I'm looking at you.
09:17Oh, they stick you out.
09:23Wake up, buddy.
09:28While the officers continued their efforts,
09:30Brian was slowly waking up.
09:32Oh, he's up.
09:35Do you need some heroin?
09:37I'm ready at 80 for a 982.
09:39I'm just going to give you 6 milligrams of Narcana
09:41to wake you up.
09:42There's a needle sitting right next to you.
09:43It's 982 to 80.
09:44I'm still making my way over.
09:45Do you have any weapons going on?
09:46Do you have any help to you or to Grand?
09:48Do you have any wallet or ID, Bob?
09:51Uh, Grand would be good.
09:52What's your name?
09:55Copy.
09:55Ready to copy.
09:57Yep.
09:58Brian?
10:00Okay.
10:01100.
10:02How old are you?
10:02100.
10:0423?
10:04He's serving my 30.
10:05I can't be.
10:06They're not answering enough, though.
10:09I can't be.
10:10Ready to go.
10:10Regal cinema special, batch 413.
10:13Right here, partner.
10:13Have a seat.
10:15I'm taking them to doctors.
10:18I'm going to private health.
10:19Probably, yeah.
10:21There you go.
10:22Brian, what did you take?
10:24I'm going to take 2430, partner.
10:26What's in here for a couple?
10:27And quarters at 940.
10:28There's got the needle in there.
10:30Black tar heroin.
10:35I'm not able to prove it.
10:36Hold on.
10:39Brian, what did you take?
10:44I got it.
10:46Brian was later transported to a nearby hospital, but after digging through court filings, police
10:51records, and local reporting, no further update on his condition could be found.
10:55While one officer wasn't expecting to save a life during a routine traffic check, another
11:00encounter led Highway Patrol to a $2 million drug bust.
11:04Hello, my buddy.
11:05What is it?
11:06It's kilos, bro.
11:08Yes, duffel bags.
11:10Holy s***.
11:12My guys.
11:12Woo!
11:13Yes!
11:14That's a big one.
11:15Around 1.30 p.m. on March 22, 2024, Ohio State Highway Patrol Sergeant Timothy Williamson
11:22was conducting routine patrol, and that's when he spotted a white Penske box truck with
11:26an out-of-state registration traveling eastbound on Interstate 70.
11:40How are you?
11:41How's it going, sir?
11:42Oh, not too bad.
11:43I'm going to pick up this penny that fell out of your door, okay?
11:45Is this your truck?
11:47No, it's a rental.
11:48A rental?
11:48Did you rent it?
11:49Yes.
11:50Okay.
11:50Do you have the rental agreement and your license?
11:52That was also down there.
11:53I didn't want that to blow out.
11:54No, no problem.
11:55Can you do me a favor?
11:56Can you turn your headlights on?
11:57Yes.
11:59Also, be careful with how close you're getting to some of those other cars, okay?
12:02You got in behind that semi.
12:03You weren't speeding or anything, so just go around them or back off of them.
12:06I don't want you to crash or anything, okay?
12:11Arizona?
12:12Yes.
12:13Where are you coming from?
12:14From Arizona.
12:15Coming from Arizona.
12:16Okay.
12:17Where did you rent this at?
12:19Tucson, Arizona.
12:20In Tucson?
12:20Yes.
12:20Where are you headed to?
12:22To here, to Harrisburg.
12:24Harrisburg?
12:25Yes.
12:26Pennsylvania?
12:26Yes, Pennsylvania.
12:27Okay, all right.
12:28What takes you over there?
12:29Because I'm going to move over there.
12:32You're moving?
12:33Yeah.
12:33Okay.
12:34The truck had no headlights in the rain, was weaving lanes unsafely, and tailgating other vehicles.
12:39And the driver, Andrea Saleya Rodriguez, acted strangely as she was leaning back trying
12:44to hide behind the door pillar.
12:46Are you doing this for a company?
12:49Are you doing this for a company?
12:49A company?
12:50Yeah.
12:50No, it's because I used to move things other times, so that's why.
12:55Okay.
13:00So, where are you taking the truck to?
13:06To, um, it's going to come back.
13:08To Arizona?
13:09Yes.
13:09For Sergeant Williamson, several things about Andrea raised red flags, especially her odd
13:15travel pattern, and the cut-proof lock on the truck's rear cargo door.
13:18I hear this a lot, okay?
13:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:20And if you're doing it for pay, that's fine.
13:23No, no, it belongs to me.
13:24It belongs to me.
13:25Okay.
13:25All right.
13:25And then you're going to, so why did you, why are you going to drive the truck all the
13:30way back?
13:30Because, like I say, because, um, I'm coming to move over here, and then I'll go back,
13:35and then bring another stuff.
13:36Okay.
13:37All right.
13:38Uh, bear with me.
13:38Let me do some checking on some things, but that's why I have you stopped, okay?
13:41Yeah.
13:42Be careful.
13:42Have you had any breaks or anything?
13:44When did you leave Tucson?
13:46I just leave Wednesday.
13:47Wednesday.
13:48So, you've been driving hard then.
13:49Yeah.
13:49You're here already.
13:50Where have you been sleeping at?
13:52At the hotel.
13:53Oh, you slept at the hotel?
13:54Yeah, I'm in the hotel.
13:54Okay.
13:55How many nights?
13:56It's two nights.
13:57You spent two nights in a hotel?
13:58Yeah.
13:58No.
13:59One night, like, I came on Wednesday.
14:01Uh-huh.
14:02I slept in the hotel, and then yesterday I slept in the hotel.
14:05Okay.
14:06All right.
14:06Well, bear with me for one second.
14:07I'm going to check some things out, and I'll be back with you, okay?
14:10Andrea's story didn't hold up, as the officers knew they were onto something bigger.
14:15Smell the air freshener?
14:16Yeah.
14:16It's all over the rental.
14:17I think that's...
14:19It doesn't...
14:23It doesn't smell like a car air freshener.
14:25It smells like a deodorizer, like a detergent, or like a Febreze or something.
14:29So, I mean, this is a...
14:36How much did this go?
14:41$1,100...
14:42Oh, my God.
14:42$1,100...
14:45$2,100...
14:46$31,100...
14:48$11,000...
14:48First seven days.
14:52Hi, this is Sergeant Williamson with the Highway State Army Patrol.
14:55I didn't want a traffic stop.
14:57I need a subject check, please.
15:05I'm coming from Tucson, going to Harrisburg.
15:10So...
15:10Is she nervous?
15:12Smell that.
15:16It's air freshener, it's like down air or something.
15:19That's what I said.
15:20It's like a softener, fabric softener or something.
15:23Y'all mean my wife will shoot me.
15:25Huh?
15:25I don't smell like that, my wife will shoot me.
15:28Yeah, I'm on the phone with that pig, they're running or...
15:31Okay.
15:32Soon, a drug-sniffing canine was deployed in the hopes of getting probable cause to search
15:36the truck.
15:47Hey, check him, check him!
15:49Hey, it was...
15:53Check.
15:53Check.
16:13Dude, stop.
16:36During the subsequent search, troopers found 110 pounds of cocaine packaged into 50 individual
16:43parcels.
17:03The street value of that was estimated at $1.75 million.
17:14New York City, and you want to deliver it?
17:19Do you want to deliver it?
17:22No, I don't want to deliver it.
17:23No, I was going to do it because they were going to pay me.
17:26Okay, but you don't want to move this to New York?
17:30To help you as well, it's not just us.
17:35Have a seat up there.
17:36Think about it, you've got some time.
17:38Go ahead and have a seat up there.
17:39You guys bought my sickles?
17:41I thought it was advised we're out with 380.
17:44Lift up your hands, okay?
17:46Andrea revealed she was transporting the drugs from Arizona to New York, and that she would
17:50be paid $50,000 for the delivery.
17:53She had met a man in Mexico just two weeks earlier who arranged the drug transport.
17:57And that man handed off the drugs to her on a rural road in Arizona.
18:01Right now, the officers here are offering her to be part of a controlled delivery in exchange
18:06for her own life.
18:07Think about what we're offering you.
18:10This is part of your life too, okay?
18:12I have kids, I have husbands.
18:13They don't know nothing.
18:15I know, but somebody's going to be very mad.
18:18Yeah, my husband is going to get mad at me.
18:19I'm talking about when you lose what's in there.
18:22I know.
18:23You're not going to be happy.
18:24When I have my kids.
18:26Huh?
18:26I have my kids, I have my husband.
18:28And I don't even know nothing.
18:32He advised you of your rights, correct?
18:34Hey what?
18:34He advised you of your rights, correct?
18:36Yes.
18:37Okay.
18:39Where's your family even think you're at right now?
18:41They think I was working.
18:43They didn't know nothing.
18:44I just said I was going to make a delivery.
18:47I like to put furniture for another person.
18:50And my husband said, oh, so you're going to go?
18:52Yeah, it's fine.
18:53Okay.
18:54That's why I didn't know.
18:54So what we're actually offering is for you to deliver that to New York and we arrest them.
19:02It helps you because the presumption right here for you is to go to prison.
19:08Okay?
19:10We work out here in the middle of nowhere.
19:12They don't like that stuff coming through here.
19:14Okay?
19:16So think about it.
19:17Because if you're willing to take it to New York, we'll bring in the DEA, which me and
19:22him both work for the DEA as well, besides the fact we're state troopers.
19:28And that in turn, that cooperation helps you with the sentence.
19:32Okay?
19:34Records show that Andrea never went through with it, likely because the operation was compromised
19:39before it could move forward.
19:40She faced two first-degree felony charges which were trafficking and possession of drugs.
19:45If convicted, she could be sentenced up to 25 years in prison and fined as much as $50,000.
19:50While the DEA were wrapping up a $2 million bust, an officer stumbled onto a missing girl
19:56during a simple traffic check.
19:57How are you doing?
19:58I'm good.
20:00Good.
20:00I'm Smith.
20:00I'm with the Navajo County Sheriff's Office.
20:02The reason I pulled you over, you have all those things hanging from your rear view mirror,
20:05that's an obstruction of view from the roadway.
20:09Oh, I'm sorry.
20:10I'm pausing.
20:10Who's hiding under the blanket?
20:12Huh?
20:16Well, can I have you put the blanket down just so I know that there's not a gun or nothing
20:20under there?
20:20No, there's nothing.
20:21It's stuck there.
20:21Is she alright?
20:23Yeah.
20:24You alright?
20:26She's just thinking.
20:28Okay.
20:29Is there anyone else in the car hiding?
20:30No, just two dogs.
20:32Two dogs?
20:33Yeah.
20:34Okay.
20:34Can I get your driver's license, your registration, and your insurance?
20:38Can I have her keep this blanket down?
20:41I don't know if there's like a weapon or anything underneath there.
20:43No, no problem.
20:44She's just passed out.
20:45Just passed out?
20:46Yeah.
20:47Yeah, it's just the D.
20:47It's already inside.
20:49Okay.
20:50Can I get her ID?
20:51Sure.
20:52What's her name?
20:55Uh, Daisy.
20:56Daisy?
20:57Yeah.
20:58Daisy what?
21:00That's the other one.
21:01And birthday?
21:03Uh, 2007.
21:05Yes.
21:072007?
21:08Yeah.
21:09The driver, 32-year-old Raul Arellano Romero, raised several flags connected to a sensitive
21:15ongoing investigation.
21:17Where's Daisy from?
21:18Alabama or New Mexico?
21:20Uh, I think she's from New Mexico, if I remember correctly, yes.
21:25She's your girlfriend?
21:26No, she's not.
21:27Who is she?
21:27Just a friend.
21:29Like a really close friend.
21:30Nothing like that.
21:31How old is she?
21:3319.
21:33How long ago did you meet her?
21:35About two days ago.
21:38Something like that.
21:39Where'd you meet her at?
21:40Vegas.
21:41And you were just taking her home?
21:43No, kind of.
21:44Not really like that.
21:46Um, she just said that she's never been to New Mexico.
21:48And I told her, I'm like, well, it's really flat, really flat land.
21:51So, thought we'd go and see it together.
21:53I thought you said she was your girlfriend.
21:54I never said she was.
21:56Okay.
21:56Must have been a misunderstanding.
21:58No, I know.
21:58I never said she was.
21:59I just met her.
22:00That's way too good.
22:01Just been kind of getting to know her, I guess.
22:04The officer's gut told him something was off.
22:07And the silent passenger only made things worse.
22:10We got a problem with human smuggling going on.
22:14I don't know what that means.
22:15You don't know what human smuggling is?
22:16English isn't my first language, so.
22:18You speak very good English.
22:19I know I do, but smuggling sounds like.
22:23I was not born yesterday.
22:23You know what human smuggling, human trafficking is?
22:26Human trafficking, yes.
22:27Okay.
22:28There's a little bit of a difference.
22:29So, human smuggling would be hiding an individual that's not from this country, bringing them
22:35across, and taking them somewhere to another state.
22:37Gotcha.
22:38Like, you met a female two days ago.
22:41Yeah.
22:42You're taking her to another state.
22:43I gotcha.
22:44And you don't really know anything about her.
22:46Yeah, I see what you mean.
22:48Does that really look like the smuggling type?
22:51Anybody can be a smuggler.
22:53That's valid.
22:54We've got grandmas.
22:55We've got grandpas.
22:56What?
22:56Oh no.
22:57That's just crazy.
22:58I can tell you that, uh, as soon as I get behind you, you jump off the interstate
23:03and you go to a dead end road saying that you're going to New Mexico.
23:05It doesn't help.
23:07Oh, that's fair.
23:08Well, I mean, I was...
23:09I'm not from here.
23:10When backup arrived, the officer began speaking with the girl, and they took note of what
23:14looked like fake tattoos, likely an attempt to make her harder to identify.
23:18Do you have an ID on you, Daisy?
23:20Yes, sir.
23:20And what's your last name?
23:22Garcia Guzman.
23:23Okay.
23:24What are you doing with him?
23:26Oh, I'm just going to...
23:27When did you meet him?
23:29A long time ago.
23:30A long time ago.
23:32A couple years.
23:34Okay.
23:35How old are you, Daisy?
23:37I was 17.
23:38You're 17.
23:39I thought you were 19.
23:40What?
23:422007.
23:442007.
23:47Well, maybe I did the last one.
23:49Alright, y'all.
23:50So my canine's trained to detect four odors of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl.
23:55You need to indicate a positive alert to the vehicle.
23:57Having said that, have you guys been in contact with any of those drugs?
23:59Uh, like, with any?
24:03Maybe weed, but...
24:05He is an alert to weed, man.
24:06Okay, well, that's...
24:07No one's smoked any meth?
24:08No.
24:09No friends in Vegas messing around with anything?
24:11I don't...
24:11No.
24:11And I didn't really have anybody in the car much, so...
24:13Okay.
24:15If I came out over to the vehicle in the state of Arizona, it gives us a probable cause
24:17to search the vehicle, okay?
24:19So we are going to be searching the vehicle.
24:20You guys are saying we're not going to find anything?
24:22No tutors, no paraphernalia, nothing like that?
24:23Nothing.
24:24Okay.
24:25As the officers searched the vehicle, the situation grew more troubling.
24:29Quiet remarks between them reflected just how serious and disturbing it was beginning to look.
24:34She's hiding under this.
24:35Yeah.
24:37And, like, I pull it up, she looks young.
24:39He says she's 19, and they met two days ago.
24:41She says they met a long time ago, and that she's 17.
24:44Okay.
24:45And they met in Vegas, and he's taking her home to New Mexico.
24:48Or to New Mexico.
24:48LPR sent them in Idaho, and he said he only went to Vegas.
24:52Interesting.
24:53He's got knives all over the place, bro.
24:55I'll definitely see CCH.
24:56She has no luggage in the car.
24:59Oh, there's the weed.
25:01After some careful questioning, the girl eventually gave up the act, admitting she was a missing 13-year-old girl
25:07from Alabama.
25:08What grade are you in?
25:09Eight.
25:10How long ago did you run away?
25:12Like, oh, three years.
25:14Okay, and what are you doing with him?
25:16What?
25:16What are you doing with him?
25:18I'm just traveling.
25:19Is that you?
25:20No, sir.
25:20That's his wife.
25:21His wife?
25:22Yeah.
25:22Okay.
25:24It's his wife.
25:25So, has she been with you ever since you left Alabama?
25:27No.
25:28Okay, so when did you pick her up?
25:31Uh, like two or three days ago.
25:33I know, see, dude, this is going to work a whole lot easier if you quit lying to me, okay?
25:38I know you're lying to me, bro.
25:39We already know that you've been with her for longer than two days.
25:42So, are you going to tell me honestly how long you've been with her?
25:46Wait, what makes you think that you know that I've been with her?
25:50Here, here's the thing.
25:51I'm done talking with you.
25:52Sit in that car.
25:53I've already talked to her.
25:53I got all the information that I need.
25:55It looks like it says she left around like in the morning while the family was asleep.
26:00Um, it looks like it was from the 7-28-2024.
26:07Exhaustible.
26:07And she was reporting the missing.
26:09He drove all the way over here and picked this child up who was here.
26:13She was here on vacation with her mom, her biological mom.
26:17Uh-huh.
26:17He came here and picked her up and took her out of state lines.
26:20We were able to, with help with the state police, we were able to, um,
26:25find them out in like Virginia somewhere and he was arrested.
26:28He was in prison for some time.
26:30Um, his case is actually coming up soon.
26:33I was just on the phone with the DA.
26:35I was not aware that she was on the run again with him.
26:38This wasn't Raul's first run in with the same girl.
26:41In 2024, he was arrested in Massachusetts for taking her and released on a $50,000 bond.
26:47In April 2025, she vanished again.
26:51She later told investigators that they met through her brother and talked on games like Fortnite.
26:56Raul picked her up and they drove across several states to Nevada.
26:59He was arrested in Arizona on a $100,000 warrant, extradited to Alabama,
27:04and charged with interference with custody, a Class C felony that carries up to 10 years.
27:09While one officer found a missing girl, this deputy had no clue that a traffic stop would blow up in
27:15his face.
27:16Anything in the car you need to know about?
27:17Guns, drugs, bombs?
27:18I've got a .22 pistol right there in a seat.
27:22Yeah, it's, it's good.
27:25Oh!
27:27What the ****?
27:30On April 5th, 2024, Sergeant Ryan Owens pulled over 60-year-old Charles Legault,
27:36who was driving a pickup truck with a license plate that was not registered to the vehicle.
27:40Who's tags on this car?
27:42My ex, my ex-wife.
27:44Okay, and why is her tag on your truck?
27:46I send her the money every month.
27:48It's not registered to this truck.
27:51Don't even tell me that.
27:52No, I'm telling you, man.
27:55You got your license on you?
27:56Yes, sir, I do.
27:57Give me just a second.
27:58No dope or nothing in the car?
27:59No, sir.
28:00You don't use drugs?
28:01No.
28:02Have you ever?
28:03I smoke weed, yeah.
28:04Okay, I was gonna ask.
28:06Is there any weed in here?
28:08A couple roaches, maybe.
28:09Yeah, I thought I could smell some weed burnt.
28:11I ain't lying about nothing.
28:13Okay.
28:14So when I search the car, am I gonna find anything?
28:16No, I'm gonna go read it.
28:18Cool.
28:18I can search it?
28:20I can search the car?
28:27So what are these dope baggies in this cigarette pouch right here for?
28:31You use cocaine as well?
28:32No, no, no.
28:33I got six heart attacks.
28:34Okay.
28:35Well, what does that have to do with the three baggies with the white substance in that cigarette
28:39pouch right there?
28:42Don't know.
28:43Hop out for me, Bubba.
28:44Yes, sir.
28:45What started as a routine stop was about to uncover something far more volatile.
28:50What kind of pipe is this?
28:52Not a clue.
28:53It hasn't been in a truck.
28:54That's a methamphetamine pipe, sir.
28:57I've had six heart attacks.
28:58I ain't smoking no meth.
28:59Well, it looks like you are.
29:05There's your weed.
29:13Listen, man.
29:13Is there any meth in here?
29:14Just be real with me, brother.
29:16I'm serious as a heart.
29:17Listen, this is a meth pipe.
29:19Okay?
29:20Yeah.
29:20There's methamphetamine in that.
29:23Okay?
29:24So if you would just be honest with me, I will help you out.
29:28But if you do not be honest, man.
29:30I ain't being totally honest.
29:31You're not.
29:31I'm not playing with stuff.
29:32There's no meth in there.
29:34When was the last time you smoked meth?
29:37Yes, sir.
29:37Oh, God.
29:40Is there any chance I'm going to find meth in this car?
29:43No, there isn't.
29:43Are you sure?
29:44Yes.
29:45How sure are you?
29:46Very good.
29:47All right, well.
29:48I wouldn't have enough.
29:50I'm surprised the pipe was in there.
29:52Approximately eight minutes into the search, Deputy Owens discovered what appeared to be a PVC pipe device.
30:03Yeah, it's good.
30:06Whoa!
30:07What the f***?
30:15What the f*** was that?
30:19You got a parachute with dirt?
30:21Oh.
30:261429.
30:28Oh.
30:32What the f*** was that?
30:35What the f*** was it?
30:35It started a fire.
30:38Something just exploded in this truck.
30:47I'm 77.
30:48It went off on me.
30:49I don't know what it was, but yeah.
30:5277 for now.
30:54I can't tell it's an airbag.
31:04The explosive device was later determined to be a makeshift chemical pipe bomb containing
31:09chlorine on one side and brake fluid on the other, separated by a valve.
31:14The valve had the words safe and armed handwritten on it, suggesting that it was meant to be
31:18activated manually.
31:20When the deputy handled it, the valve may have been turned by accident, causing the
31:23chemicals to mix, release toxic chlorine gas, and trigger the explosion.
31:28Despite breathing difficulties and respiratory distress, Deputy Owens managed to call for backup
31:33and place Charles in handcuffs.
31:35Hey, come here.
31:36What?
31:38Now, put your hands on your back.
31:40I don't know what the f*** that was, man.
31:46Easy, I gotta screw him.
31:50Which way?
31:51F***, sit right there.
32:00I honestly don't know what the hell that was.
32:03It's nasty smelling.
32:06Did you put them in the front?
32:08No, f*** you.
32:19God.
32:24What the hell was that?
32:25If I know, how the f*** would, yeah the f*** do you think I would know.
32:29There's a gun in there, too.
32:31What is that?
32:31I have no f***ing idea, dude.
32:33I was f***ing leaning over the driver's seat, and something f***ing blew up all over me.
32:38What?
32:39Yeah, it's like in my f***ing lungs or something.
32:42I have to miss it, man.
32:45The deputy was transported to the hospital for treatment of respiratory injuries, but he made a full recovery.
32:51The vehicle was then towed for further investigation after obtaining a search warrant.
32:55During the search, deputies found over 30 grams of meth, two handguns, 20 rounds, and an unregistered silencer.
33:02Charles was charged with possession of an explosive device, aggravated battery on an officer,
33:07armed trafficking, intent to sell, and illegal weapons possession.
33:11According to Florida law, he'll spend more than two decades behind bars.
33:16While one officer got injured during a stop and search, another officer pulled over a man hiding six kids in
33:21his truck.
33:22In the early hours of July 5th, 2022, a New Mexico State police sergeant spotted a silver pickup truck crossing
33:29multiple lanes without signaling on Interstate 25.
33:32The erratic driving caught the officer's attention, leading to what would become a disturbing traffic stop.
33:39Hey there.
33:40Hello.
33:40How are you?
33:41All right.
33:42Just all right?
33:43Yeah.
33:44Okay.
33:45Should I have a license?
33:46Yeah.
33:47Yeah.
33:48Yeah.
34:01There's a wall right there between your legs.
34:03That was me.
34:07Sorry.
34:08I was a little bit nervous.
34:11So was I.
34:12The way you were driving?
34:14Huh?
34:15That's it.
34:17You mentioned that you were nervous?
34:19Right.
34:20I was nervous while I was behind you driving down I-40.
34:23You were in lane number one at times.
34:25You went away from lane number one all the way over.
34:28Didn't use a signal.
34:29Had problems keeping your vehicle one lane.
34:32And then when you merged on from westbound 40 to northbound 25, you took that curve way too fast.
34:39I did.
34:40I'm sorry.
34:42I thought you were going to crash.
34:44No.
34:45I don't.
34:45I didn't say.
34:46I don't think so.
34:47I'm just saying I thought you were going to crash.
34:49And then you have a bunch of kids and then the car.
34:51How many kids?
34:51You have one, two, three, four, five, six.
34:54Who are these kids to you?
34:55The officer likely thought the kids were his until something the man said raised a red flag.
35:00This is my friend.
35:02That's your friend?
35:03Yeah.
35:04How old is your friend?
35:0518.
35:07That girl's not 18?
35:11That girl's not 18?
35:12Yeah.
35:13No, she's not.
35:16No, I don't think she is.
35:19That girl's not 18.
35:20Trust me.
35:21She don't look 18.
35:24Ma'am, how old are you?
35:29I didn't ask you your name.
35:30I asked you how old you were.
35:34Jeremy, turn the car off and come back here and talk to me.
35:37All right.
35:39Let me see the keys.
35:44Come on up.
35:49What they found below the waistline made the situation go from strange to deeply unsettling.
35:55Why's your zipper or your buttons down in your crotch?
35:59Well, I probably just forgot.
36:02Okay.
36:04I'll button my zipper.
36:06Yeah, please button your zipper.
36:07Yeah.
36:07I mean, I had to take it like a piss and...
36:25It's good.
36:25Most shocking, however, was the age gap between the man and the six passengers packed into his vehicle.
36:31Don't lie to me.
36:33I'm not going to play the game where you lie.
36:35I know that you're not 18, okay?
36:40So if you want to have attitude, you in the front, okay?
36:43We go back another way.
36:45Simple as that.
36:47So if I sense any attitude or you give me a lip, we'll do it another way.
36:52Okay, how old are you?
36:5414.
36:5414.
36:55Simple, simple question.
36:5614.
36:58Really, 14?
36:58Yes, sir.
36:59Okay.
36:5914.
37:01Okay.
37:0113.
37:02Okay.
37:0313.
37:04Okay.
37:0514?
37:06Okay.
37:06Who is this guy to anybody?
37:08That's our homies.
37:10And then she knows his kid.
37:12Okay.
37:13So, that there's your homie?
37:16Okay, so you guys all need to call your parents.
37:19Yes, sir.
37:20Okay.
37:22Okay.
37:22And have your parents meet us here.
37:24Just so you guys know, okay, I probably saved six lives tonight.
37:27At least six lives.
37:28I thought you guys were going to crash around that bend.
37:30He's going way too fast.
37:32And he's definitely...
37:34Not safe to drive.
37:35Yeah, we told you.
37:36We told you.
37:37This is Sergeant Le Fay with State Police.
37:40And your son, along with, I'm guessing, five of his other buddies, they were in a vehicle
37:47with somebody who, some man, who's a grown adult, who has no business driving.
37:53And so, he's out now doing field sobriety tests, and these kids need to be picked up.
38:01Guthrie was arrested for DUI, abuse towards kids, and having an open container after failing
38:06field sobriety tests.
38:08Later, it was revealed that he had a year-long physical relationship with the 12-year-old
38:12girl in his car, who he had abducted along with the other kids.
38:16Guthrie took her to a motel for the first assault and later impregnated her, and the girl reported
38:21giving herself a miscarriage.
38:23After the arrest, police found explicit evidence and messages on the girl's phones and discovered
38:28that Guthrie was still trying to contact the victims from jail.
38:31Additional charges were filed, and on August 5, 2024, Judge David Murphy sentenced Jeremy Guthrie
38:37to 36 years in prison.
38:39While six lives were pulled from danger that night, the next stop had death already riding
38:44in the back.
38:45On July 29, 2020, Louisiana state troopers conducting routine patrol duties pulled over a black Chevrolet
38:51Camaro for speeding.
38:52The driver, 18-year-old Michael Mitchell Jr., was going 20 over the speed limit.

39:45Yes or not?

39:47Okay.
39:47Other than that, there's anything.
39:48Anything else?
39:49No, there's anything.
39:50The officer had no way of knowing that this routine stop was about to crack open a missing
39:55person's case.
39:59Once the officer noticed the bullet holes, he immediately got suspicious.
40:03Stopped at him, stopped for speeding, 7355.
40:07And it's got bullet holes all in the driver's side, right by the door.
40:14Y'all ain't looking for a car involved in anything.
40:17It's a, comes, hold on, just let me run this date of birth.
40:23With, uh, this is an 18-year-old I'm out with, uh, Mitchell, Michael Mitchell.
40:34Yes, sir.
40:35And, uh, he don't even know where he lives.
40:38He, he won't, or he's saying he don't know where he lives.
40:42What I'm being told is that the boy who gave him permission to use the car is missing.
40:50So he's lying his ass off.
40:52We go looking for the person who owns the car, find out that the, the son of the owner of
40:56the car is missing.

41:14Upon opening the trunk, officers found the body of 23-year-old Michael Robinson, Jr., dead
41:20from multiple gunshot wounds.
41:22The car, belonging to Robinson's mother but registered under Chandra Henderson, had already
41:27drawn attention when a family member arrived on the scene looking for him.
41:30Mitchell was then arrested on the spot.
41:32In early interviews, he claimed he and 19-year-old Cameron Poe had planned to steal from Robinson
41:38and that Poe had pulled the trigger.
41:40Basically, my friends wanted to save, they wanted to save Michael, because they know he was lovely, like, like, he
41:50had money and stuff.
41:51Like, dude.
41:52They hit me up, he was like, he was like, he ain't help, he ain't cool money.

42:21Both were booked for second-degree murder and held on $500,000 bond.
42:25Later, Mitchell admitted Poe had nothing to do with it, and Poe was then released.
42:30Mitchell then changed his story again, saying that during a fight, he shot Robinson in self-defense.
42:35But investigators found holes in that version, too.
