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.
00:32Keep running, keep running.
00:33They're there.
00:33And we'll find them.
00:34The allure to Alaska is just how wild it can be.
00:41Stop it, you're going to get tasers.
00:43Stop.
00:44It's Alaska State Troopers.
00:45We're on their 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.
00:53State Troopers.
00:54Do not move.
00:55Let me see your hand.
00:56Hands down.
00:56Please have a radio check.
00:58Search for you.
00:59Please just be advised.
01:12Today we have our annual criminal suppression op.
01:15We have a bunch of targets we're going to look for to arrest.
01:18It's a big team effort to take the worst offenders in town into custody and get as much dope, illegal
01:24guns, and people with warrants off the street.
01:28All right, so getting into our operational brief here, our primary suspect is going to be
01:34We believe he's involved in multiple shootings around our area here.
01:38The suspect's a dangerous guy.
01:40He's going to try to sell drugs and a illegally modified pistol, which is now fully automatic,
01:47to an undercover ATF agent.
01:49Go ahead, gear up, break up into your team.
01:58Trooper Cebulski is from SWAT.
02:00Riding shotgun, he's got the 37 millimeter less lethal super socks.
02:08After the conclusion of the buy, this vehicle in front of us has what's known as the grappler.
02:13That's going to lock up the rear axle in that suspect vehicle.
02:16And then after that, our team will move in and conduct the arrest.
02:22Where's the target at?
02:23The best Western behind it.
02:2510-fold.
02:26This is our suspect right here being tracked.
02:29Once the guy's here and says, yeah, let's go buy the other guns,
02:33the guy who leaves to go get him, we might do the takedown.
02:36Because we know where he's going to go.
02:38How much did you sell that feeling for?
02:41Because I know, like, around what?
02:44I've sold it to him for, like, 25 weeks and six.
02:47Do you have any PR?
02:49About it, besides my personal.
02:51I'm back.
02:54He has a back?
02:55What's what it does sound like?
02:56The target gun on his person has a full auto switch on him.
03:01Copy.
03:01I'm not playing with this dude at all.
03:03The trigger's kind of janky.
03:04I'm not looking at charging for it.
03:06What's up with an optic wound?
03:07Why do you want so much for it?
03:09Pick up your mind and quit acting like a .
03:13You're acting like a female right now.
03:17This is the railing team.
03:18Just be prepared to jump in behind him.
03:23All right, let me go get some money, bro.
03:25Yeah, let me go have a go, please.
03:27Suspect's back now.
03:29Whip around.
03:29Yeah, let's go.
03:32They're going up on the crutch.
03:34They come right by us.
03:35Yep.
03:37There he is.
03:38He didn't even look.
03:45Sorry.
03:46There you go.
03:49State troopers, show me your hands!
03:51Both hands out of the vehicle!
03:54Slowly open the door from the outside!
03:59Slowly exit the vehicle and face away from us!
04:03Keep your hands up!
04:05Slowly walk backwards to the sound of my voice!
04:09Keep walking backwards!
04:11Take three big steps to your right!
04:18Slowly go down to your knees!
04:20Do not reach towards your waistband at all!
04:24Do not move!
04:26All right, move it!
04:29Place your hands on your back!
04:32All right, slowly stand up!
04:33All right, you got him?
04:34Yep, I got him!
04:35I'm putting this stuff in my pouch.
04:37Get!
04:37Oh, what am I being farted with?
04:39We'll talk to you about it.
04:41Uh, okay.
04:42Magazine right there.
04:43Pistol right here.
04:44The Glock, nine millimeter, it's stolen.
04:47That works, it's stolen.
04:48What the f***?
04:49Yeah, go ahead and kick you.
04:50At this point, you're under arrest, all right?
04:52For what?
04:52Slew of assault charges.
04:54Stemming from a shooting you're alleged to be involved in.
04:57Hey, hold on.
04:57Stolen gun, too.
04:58Is it? Really?
05:00Glad he gave up peacefully and surrendered.
05:02We got him in custody.
05:03Nobody got hurt.
05:04Grappler deployment was perfect.
05:06He didn't get hurt.
05:07We didn't get hurt.
05:07Perfect operation.
05:23I'm Trooper Weeks.
05:24I've been with the Alaska State Troopers for a little over a year.
05:28I transitioned from the military to do this job because this agency has a really good relationship
05:35with Alaskans and our community here, which is not something that is always the case with
05:41law enforcement.
05:43A lot of times we're just going from call to call.
05:46I like to get out there and branch off into the areas that aren't as commonly patrolled
05:51whenever there's less law enforcement presence, people are a lot more likely to maybe commit
05:58crimes, especially crimes of opportunity.
06:04I think that truck's stolen.
06:14There's a similar pickup that was stolen about a month ago.
06:18We're doing 70 turning pickup.
06:21We're doing significant damage.
06:30Thanks, Ryder.
06:35I'm Fairbanks, 2019.
06:3719.
06:38I'm headed south on Severn, so I've got to fail to yield.
06:43Looks like he's slowing down at Larissa Drive.
06:49Park.
07:02Hey, how's it going, partner?
07:05Any reason you took off on me there?
07:07I didn't take off on you.
07:08Oh, you didn't just fly up that road, disregard my lights?
07:11As soon as I seen him, I pulled over, sir.
07:13OK.
07:13Yep.
07:14You got a driver's license on you?
07:16Yes, sir.
07:19OK, so I'm Trooper Weeks with the Alaska State Troopers.
07:22Stopped you for a couple reasons, OK?
07:24Based on the speed you're going down that road and the distance you were ahead of me, you're
07:28well over the speed limit.
07:29Additionally, you have to signal for a minimum of 100 feet before you turn, and you didn't
07:34do that?
07:34OK.
07:35OK, you threw your blinker on as you turned, OK?
07:38OK.
07:38Have you got registration and proof of insurance?
07:41I got proof of insurance on my phone.
07:43OK.
07:44Registration.
07:44I just got this vehicle, and I've been trying to get the title from this dude.
07:50OK.
07:51Does that show what vehicle's insured?
07:54It doesn't, sir.
07:55OK.
07:56You see how that could be an issue?
07:57Yes, sir.
07:58I do.
07:59OK.
07:59Is that something you can get and pull up the actual insurance on this vehicle?
08:03This is all I got, sir.
08:05OK.
08:05Do you own this vehicle?
08:06Yes.
08:07OK.
08:07Is it registered to you?
08:08No, like I said, I got this from a dude on Marketplace for $100.
08:13All right.
08:13You understand this vehicle could be impounded for not having registration, right?
08:16Yes, sir.
08:17What's the real reason you're trying to get away from me tonight?
08:19I'm not always trying to get away from you, sir.
08:21OK.
08:22I'm not interested in playing the games, OK?
08:23Sir, hey, look.
08:25I have a past, all right?
08:28Mm-hmm.
08:29Do you have a history of evading the police?
08:31Yes, sir.
08:31OK.
08:32Yes, sir.
08:32And that history has stopped now?
08:35Yes, sir.
08:36I've been-
08:36Regardless of the circumstances of you flying down this dirt road at 2 in the morning?
08:42I was just trying to get to where I was going, sir.
08:45All right.
08:45Hang tight.
08:46I'll be back with you shortly.
08:47Yes, sir.
08:561060.
09:001060.
09:01This individual, he's our prime suspect in a burglary for the theft of over $10,000 worth
09:06of industrial copper.
09:09NCIC 2019.
09:10I believe this is the suspect in 1B44's stolen copper case.
09:15And he has a significant history of running from the cops.
09:19But we've never been able to catch up to him.
09:22And I'm certain that's what he was doing tonight.
09:26Additionally, I think these plates don't belong to this.
09:30Suspects use a black GMC truck.
09:32This one's blue.
09:33So this may be a different one.
09:35But this is definitely the same suspect.
09:37This means he was going down this road.
09:39I could arrest him on a misdemeanor felony yield.
09:41But I want to talk to him more.
09:49All right, Mr. .
09:50You mind just stepping out back here with me?
09:52I just want to have a conversation with you.
09:54Oh, good.
09:54A couple of things that I just got some questions about, OK?
09:58All right.
09:58So here's the deal, man.
09:59A couple of things not adding up, right?
10:01The way you're taking off on me, additionally, you don't have registration
10:04in this vehicle.
10:05I didn't take off.
10:05OK.
10:07Aside from that, who did you get the vehicle from?
10:09I got it off the marketplace.
10:11OK.
10:12You got a bill of sale for it or anything?
10:13I didn't.
10:14So I bought this truck just as a partial.
10:16It was only $100, dude.
10:17OK.
10:17And then were you able to figure out the insurance thing?
10:20Uh, no.
10:20Where it actually shows the vehicle?
10:22No, it doesn't.
10:23OK.
10:24So you don't have insurance?
10:25I do have insurance.
10:26Policy number, effective date.
10:28Why is there no vehicle on there?
10:30Dude, I don't know.
10:31I just screenshotted it.
10:34Where's your black GMC at?
10:36I let a buddy borrow it.
10:38OK.
10:39Was he the one that helped you load the copper or no?
10:42No.
10:43OK.
10:44Who did that?
10:45You don't know what I'm talking about?
10:48OK.
10:49And that had nothing to do with you running for me tonight?
10:51No, sir.
10:52I didn't run.
10:53OK.
10:54You understand the property you folks took copper off of has cameras, right?
10:58OK.
10:59Am I being detained?
11:00OK.
11:01You are being detained right now.
11:02OK.
11:02Go ahead and turn around.
11:04Put your hands behind your back.
11:08OK.
11:09So right now, you're under arrest for fail to yield.
11:13Additionally, some other troopers are going to follow up with you about the copper wire that you stole.
11:18OK?
11:20Come on back here with me.
11:21Yes, sir.
11:24Go ahead and have a seat.
11:32Wait!
11:35No way.
11:36We threw stuff out.
11:38Well, I think we found out why he was running.
11:41I'd say we're getting a warrant.
11:43Is that coke or meth?
11:45This one appears to be methamphetamine, and this two appear to be cocaine.
11:49So we're going to take this truck to post, and I'm going to go ahead and work on search
11:55warrants for the rest of the vehicle.
11:58What threw me off is that he clearly was running, and then he stopped.
12:02And, you know, lo and behold, we go back and look, and there was drugs thrown out the window.
12:06The amount that we found is consistent with not a user amount, but a distribution amount.
12:12And then, additionally, he's got a scale that's in plain view, so we're going to go ahead and seize that
12:16now.
12:18With the amount of drugs that we've already found, we're just going to go ahead and get a warrant for
12:22the whole vehicle.
12:44Trooper Garrett Stevens, we are currently in the Mat-Su Valley.
12:48Look at those beautiful mountains.
12:50Majestic.
12:54What motivates me is my family and my friends live in this community, and I want to make sure that
13:01it's a better place for them.
13:03We got a call from a neighbor of one of our problem houses.
13:08We've been getting a lot of complaints about.
13:10Drug unit has done a couple search warrants on the house.
13:14Seems like it's getting active again.
13:15One of the concerned neighbors called and said that he found a baggie of what he thinks is cocaine.
13:21So we're going to go see what he's got.
13:24Cars might leave as soon as we show up.
13:25We've seen that time and time again.
13:30We got a vehicle here.
13:33Leave in.
13:34Passenger doesn't have a seatbelt on.
13:38And now she's putting it on.
13:42There was another officer in the area that saw this vehicle leaving that specific house.
13:46Back from November 66 and 36.
13:50Hi Trooper Stevens with the Alaska State Troopers.
13:52Hey, reason for the stops.
13:53You aren't wearing your seatbelt.
13:55Okay.
13:58Are you okay?
13:59You seem upset.
14:02Right.
14:03It's Alaska law.
14:04You must wear a seatbelt in the vehicle.
14:06All right, sit tight for me, okay?
14:08Female is very nervous.
14:14All right, well, vehicle stolen.
14:18Any illegal narcotics in the vehicle?
14:20Not that at all.
14:21See, there's a Tudor straw sitting there.
14:24All right, you mind keeping your hands out of your pockets for me?
14:25All right, let's just step over here to the front of my vehicle.
14:28No illegal narcotics, no meth.
14:30No cocaine.
14:31No fentanyl.
14:33No heroin.
14:34Okay.
14:35What were you guys doing down here at this house?
14:38Meeting up with a friend.
14:40You're using?
14:42Huh?
14:43What are you using?
14:47You mind just standing right there?
14:49I'm just gonna confirm your VIN.
14:50The plate doesn't belong to this vehicle.
14:52That was the plate that was on it when I bought it.
14:54When did you buy it?
14:56Like three months ago.
14:57Vehicle stolen.
14:59I have the bill of sale for it.
15:00You do?
15:01Okay, is it in the vehicle?
15:06That's the plate.
15:07But I'm telling you that the plate doesn't belong to that vehicle.
15:10The VIN doesn't even match.
15:16The bill of sale.
15:18It's hard to say.
15:19He could have wrote that himself.
15:21A lot of paraphernalia in the car, but no illegal narcotics.
15:25We're gonna keep the truck.
15:28I'm not gonna be able to get this vehicle back then.
15:30Nah.
15:33Yeah.
15:33In fact, you are telling me the truth and that is how you purchased the vehicle.
15:37I mean, you can do a civil suit against the guy.
15:40You're free to go.
15:42Okay, you do.
15:45Now we're gonna go to this original call where someone found potential cocaine.
15:52And across right here is the address of the place that we get complaints on.
16:01Let's go.
16:03That looks like fentanyl.
16:05I wanna wash your hands.
16:06So, you probably know about these guys over here.
16:08Oh yeah, we just got a stolen vehicle out of there just now.
16:11I've had nothing but problems with this house.
16:13Mm-hmm.
16:14Just car after car.
16:16Half of them ain't got mufflers on.
16:17And then here lately, it's been late at night.
16:19And it's all the way till like 4 o'clock in the morning.
16:21So they sit over here in one car, we'll like meet another car.
16:24And then he'll pull in over here, grab whatever, go back down here, give it to this car.
16:29Then they'll both leave.
16:31It's just, it's constant.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Just hoping this quits.
16:35Well, we'll give it a valiant effort.
16:36I keep everything locked up, I'm afraid.
16:38I'll do it.
16:39Half time they're gonna wander over here.
16:41Call, email me if you want to.
16:43Because I'm part of the statewide drug unit.
16:45So we're gonna be the ones that would actually like, get these people out of there.
16:48That'd be nice.
16:50This is exactly what we do.
16:52We get calls that lead us in the right direction.
16:54We start going over there and investigating it.
16:56Making traffic stops.
16:57Building investigations off those, which may lead to a bigger investigation.
17:02Potentially finding someone who's supplying all of this drugs in the Mat-Su Valley.
17:21It's Friday night out here in the Valley.
17:23People are now getting out of work.
17:25They're starting to consume alcohol.
17:27For me, I'm looking for people that don't want to be around law enforcement.
17:31There's certain abnormalities that people show.
17:34Whether they're extremely nervous to see you.
17:37People will quickly get off the road to the side streets.
17:39That shows there's something going on.
17:43Oh.
17:46It's really just turned around and looked at us.
17:48All those motorcycles that passed us seem to be going quicker than the speed limit.
17:52It looked like you might not have a tag on the motorcycle.
17:54And then the driver turned around and looked at us and accelerated.
17:58So we're trying to catch back up and see what's going on.
18:05I got 30, 10, 36.
18:09That's not expected.
18:14What's up?
18:14I just realized that.
18:18Yeah.
18:19And you're going?
18:19I'm headed back.
18:2060 in a 40.
18:21I'm headed back to take it back.
18:23Is it your bike?
18:24No, it's my friend.
18:25Your friend's bike?
18:26Do you have an ID or anything on you, dude?
18:26Yeah, I have an ID.
18:28Your mind just hanging out right here?
18:29So I can check the vent of the bike real quick?
18:30Yeah.
18:32He's on probation, left in the second.
18:35It's going to be a 1099 on the motorcycle.
18:39Give me a 1068.
18:41He's extremely nervous.
18:42I still have 26 in round.
18:45Put your hands behind your back.
18:46I don't know.
18:47The bike's stolen.
18:49Is it?
18:50Yeah, and you're on parole, man.
18:51I did not know it was stolen, sir.
18:54Back on 30, 1080.
18:56I honestly did not know it was stolen.
18:58You're on probation for theft.
19:00You're in possession of a stolen motorcycle.
19:02Like I said, I swear to God.
19:02That looks so bad.
19:03And I called the guy I got the bike from.
19:05We'll work on that in a second, dude, OK?
19:07All right?
19:09Anything on you, PokeStickHurt?
19:10If you have to go to pretrial,
19:12is there anything that's going to get you in trouble?
19:15It's probably a misdemeanor if I have it now.
19:17It's a felony because of the jail.
19:18I have a straw in my pocket.
19:19OK.
19:21I live in meth in my pants.
19:23Right there behind my boot.
19:26I, I, that, that's a good rock.
19:29Just have a seat.
19:31I did like an initial check mostly just for weapons at first.
19:34And he just told me he had meth in his belt.
19:36From the moment I got back to you, you were super nervous.
19:39You were super shaking.
19:40You're quick.
19:41Probation and I haven't had any police contact.
19:43I've been trying to stay out of trouble, bro.
19:45Well, you, you had meth on you.
19:46Like, you're going to get in trouble, dude.
19:48I mean, I appreciate the honesty with it.
19:51Have you ever been in trouble before for drugs?
19:53No.
19:53So this will be the first time?
19:55Yeah.
19:55So that's a smart choice.
19:56It's a misdemeanor then instead of a felony.
19:59Because it's a felony if he went to the jail.
20:01OK?
20:03I appreciate your honesty with that.
20:05There might be something in my pockets.
20:07What could possibly be in your pocket?
20:09A foil.
20:10That's what the straw was for.
20:11That I was smoking.
20:12All right.
20:13Just hang on a second.
20:16And he didn't say anything.
20:17It's automatic felony to bring anything into the jail.
20:19So he doesn't want that charge.
20:21Luckily, it ended peacefully.
20:22And now somebody's going to get their stolen motorcycle back.
20:24Got some drugs off the street.
20:26It's a good day.
20:42I'm Trooper Norris.
20:44I'm assigned to the Bethel Post.
20:46So arrest warrant service can definitely be
20:49one of the more dangerous things we do.
20:51A couple years ago, I had a wild event with a convicted felon
20:56when I was assigned to the CSU in Fairbanks.
20:59Definitely not what I thought I'd be doing
21:00when I woke up that morning.
21:06This guy had recently been seen in Anchorage open carrying a pistol.
21:12He also presented another pistol to a store employee.
21:16We also suspected he was trafficking drugs.
21:18So we were intending on stopping this guy for the felon in possession crime.
21:23So we had planned our stop on the Park Highway near Healy.
21:28We were about 100-ish miles away from Fairbanks.
21:34We had people set up ahead with spike strips.
21:37We'd have a helicopter in the air.
21:41Initially, the guy had pulled over.
21:43When we went to lock him in.
21:48My pursuit ensued.
21:51Go, go, go, go!
21:56Get out!
21:58Get out!
22:07Get out!
22:07Shots fired!
22:08Hold him around, Sean!
22:10Hold him around!
22:16Get these horses off, guys.
22:17Get in the populated area.
22:23Shoot!
22:23Yo, one, two-five!
22:25Back on!
22:25Back on!
22:28I took my shotgun and I returned fire.
22:34The pursuit, it slowed down quite a bit at this point as his tires deflated.
22:38The truck came to a stop, and right at that point is when I ran out of ammo in my
22:42shotgun.
22:43I went to get out my door and hit the end of my seatbelt.
22:47I think it was only a half second, but it felt like an eternity.
22:51I just expected him to jump out and shoot.
22:54Like, that was when I felt the most in danger.
23:03Cover! Cover! Cover!
23:06Speak to us now!
23:18Earlier that year is when my wife and I had our first kiddo, and so she was only a couple
23:23months old.
23:24Stuff like that, you get home and you see these people that really care about you.
23:28You hug everybody a little tighter, for sure.
23:33Today I am heading to a village about 15 to 18 miles downriver from Bethel.
23:39We had a report of a threat that was made by a former employee of the village corporation there.
23:46He made the threat on Facebook, seemed to state that the guy wanted money and said he was considering robbing
23:53a bank or killing a corporation employee for money.
23:57And then showed up to the building an hour or two later and caused quite a scare for the employees
24:04there.
24:06So we're going to go head down there and try to interview this guy.
24:12What a studly man.
24:14That one has to be.
24:20In the state of Alaska, if you make a threat to human life, that threat may initiate an emergency protocol.
24:27In this case, the employees didn't evacuate the building, but they'd already made a plan that if he showed up
24:31to work, they were going to try to lock the door.
24:37Have some surveillance footage of one of the victims preparing to defend themselves with a large office stapler, in case
24:44the guy was to come up and intend them harm.
24:48When we're here in the villages, we rely on the tribal police pretty heavily to show us where people's houses
24:53are and help us find folks who don't live here and we're not nearly as familiar as they are with
24:58it.
24:59And this car right there?
25:01Which one is this house, left or right?
25:03Which one is this house?
25:04Yes.
25:04No.
25:05No.
25:05No.
25:05No.
25:05No.
25:06No.
25:07No.
25:09Hello.
25:10Hi.
25:11Hey, hoping to ask you a couple of questions.
25:13I'm here about the Facebook post that got made.
25:16Do you know what I'm talking about?
25:19OK.
25:20Do you know what I'm talking about?
25:21About the corporation employees?
25:23Can you kind of walk me through what that was about?
25:25I was fired under a bad situation.
25:32and I'm not sure why I was let go
25:36or what was the reason.
25:37They never gave me a reason.
25:41And that's why I was just angry
25:43and I deleted the posts.
25:45Yeah, but when you say you're gonna,
25:47when you're talking about killing a corporation employee,
25:50you see how that would scare them?
25:52Yeah?
25:53Yeah.
25:54That's kind of why I'm here.
25:56I wouldn't hurt anybody, that was just an angry,
25:59you know.
25:59It was just an angry post?
26:00Yeah.
26:00Why'd you delete it?
26:03Because I thought, I know better.
26:06You know better?
26:07I thought about it twice and then I deleted it.
26:12Okay.
26:12Well, I think you're gonna have to come back to Bethany,
26:14all right, ma'am?
26:15You're already under arrest for terroristic threatening,
26:18second degree, okay?
26:25Why would they do this?
26:26You do something, there's a consequence.
26:32Can I get a lawyer?
26:34Of course you can.
26:35What they do you for?
26:37Let's go.
26:37They said I terrorized the corporation.
26:41All right, you have a good day, okay?
26:43you.
26:44All right, you have a good one.
26:46I think as soon as we started talking,
26:48his demeanor kind of changed.
26:49I think he knew what we were here about.
26:51Is that jacket warm?
26:53Sure.
26:54Good.
26:55It's our trip, man.
26:55It's like 15 minutes.
26:59I got a stuck there, big guy.
27:02We're almost at a foot.
27:04Oh, sandbar.
27:06So it looks like the tides are changing and the way we came in
27:11is a little bit difficult to get out because of the sand.
27:13Let me see if it's shallow up front.
27:17It's shallow on this side.
27:20If you put your stick over here by the edge of the water,
27:23it goes down.
27:25I think you might be right.
27:30There you go.
27:33And we're clear.
27:36That's one violation on your driving record.
27:47It took a little bit to get out of SLU, but we're home.
27:53Trooper Robles is transporting Mr.
27:55to the correctional center.
27:58At least for tonight, he won't be a concern
28:01that he's going to make out on these threats.
28:25All right, I'm heading left, trying to get up to the vehicle.
28:28Do you want it stopped?
28:29Yeah, I think so.
28:31Let's see if I can get a plane.
28:32I'll let you know which way it goes.
28:34It's nice.
28:35We'll start heading that way.
28:42A blue F-150 with some junk in it left the drug house.
28:46The answer just about caught up.
28:48So yeah, we'll see what we got here.
28:50Echo 15 is a self-admitted 3,500 user
28:55and on probation for theft 2.
28:57So he's a self-admitted 3,500 user as a drug user,
29:02and he's also on probation for theft 2.
29:05He most likely has search conditions.
29:09I'll watch you view and step out of the vehicle.
29:12He's also on felony probation.
29:15Anything in the back of the vehicle dispensers?
29:17Oh.
29:19You doing all right, man?
29:20Yeah.
29:20Why are you sweating so bad?
29:22Caught in the truck.
29:24It's the breeze that was, you know.
29:26All right, let's step out of the road here.
29:29I'm going to pat you down.
29:30Make sure you don't got any weapons, all right?
29:35Okay.
29:35All right, you put your hands down.
29:36Relax.
29:37You put your hands down.
29:38Relax.
29:40All right, hey.
29:43Hey, I'm going to be honest, man.
29:44When's the last time you used methamphetamine?
29:49Meth.
29:50Yeah.
29:51You're sweating like crazy.
29:52Yeah, I know that.
29:53I mean, that's not normal.
29:56It was...
29:56Are you...
29:57Like, how long ago did you use it?
29:59I have not used it.
30:00All right, what's causing you to sweat like this?
30:03We just loaded this whole truck up in the sun.
30:06Okay.
30:07I'm going to have you hang out with Officer McBroom.
30:09I'm going to make a phone call, okay?
30:10You're on probation, right?
30:11Yes.
30:11Okay, I'm going to call your PO and see what they want to do and we'll go from there, all
30:14right?
30:14Okay.
30:15I've just...
30:16I've always been sweated.
30:17No harm, man.
30:19Okay.
30:19I'll have you hang out right here.
30:21North Pole has a traffic stop who's on felony probation.
30:26Last seen leaving a drug location.
30:3010-4.
30:33While you guys are doing that, I'll probably just detain him then if that's the case.
30:38So, uh, probation's looking you up for your searching conditions.
30:42I'm just going to detain you right now, okay?
30:44They said you fought with them last time in the probation office, so we're just going
30:48to avoid that by just putting you in cuffs right now, all right?
30:51You're not under arrest, but you're just going to be detained right now while we figure
30:57this out.
30:57All right.
30:58Go ahead and relax, man.
31:01Hey, sir, is there a registration in the vehicle?
31:04Okay.
31:1310-4.
31:14All right, so probation wants a search for alcohol, drugs, and weapons on his person and
31:22vehicle, so...
31:23I'll grab my clothes.
31:24Okay.
31:32Piece of a meth pipe.
31:42Ah, crap!
31:46Ah, an ox!
31:49Hey, what's going on?
31:52What's going on?
31:54Just relax, man.
32:02I don't know if there's anything I mean he's obviously under the influence of meth right now

35:38All right, I'm discontinuing.
35:39He's wrong way on Northern Lights,
35:42and he's staying in the wrong lane of travel.
35:46Copy wrong way on Northern Lights,
35:48and continuing as such.
35:50Number 6612, confirm he 1050ed somebody here
35:52on the road.
35:55Affirmative, it was a GMC pickup truck.
35:59You know, the suspect went through an intersection
36:02at a red light vehicle, T-boned him,
36:04and, you know, he was just causing a significant risk
36:08to the public that is not worth chasing him over.
36:12My mission as an Alaska state trooper is public safety.
36:15Hands down.
36:16You know, we're not going to chase him
36:18and put the public at risk.
36:32I'm Trooper Jason Venable. I work here in the Mad Sioux Valley.
36:35I've been here for about two and a half years.
36:37We're currently headed out to an area called Big Lake.
36:40We're going to look for a gentleman who has a couple of active arrest warrants
36:44for the misdemeanor assault and assault in the third degree,
36:48which is a felony level assault.
36:50We believe he might be hanging out at a known house.
36:54We typically contact a lot of people there with either prior history with us
36:59or have active warrants and stuff like that.
37:06So for sure, people live in this camper back here.
37:10In a lot of these places, people will just appear out of nowhere
37:13or they'll pop out of something that you thought was a pile of trash
37:16and turns out it's a small area they're camping in.
37:20They pose an officer safety aspect of this
37:22because there's a lot of places to hide,
37:24a lot of places people can be that we can't see them.
37:28You coming in there? Male or female?
37:34Hey!
37:39What's up, man? State Troopers.
37:41Hey, are you okay, man?
37:43You're, like, bleeding.
37:44What's all over your face?
37:46Too late.
37:46Oh, .
37:47Hey, can you show me your other hand
37:48just to make sure you're not, like, holding a hand grenade?
37:50All right, cool.
37:51What's your name?
37:53Do you have your ID with you?
37:54Can I see that really quick?
37:56Well, we're looking for the other Chris.
37:58Yeah.
37:58He's been by Ryan Creek, I think.
38:00He what?
38:01By Ryan Creek.
38:03When was the last time you saw him around here?
38:04About a month.
38:05A month ago?
38:06Hey, I'm gonna close this door and let you go back to your nap,
38:07all right? Thanks, man.
38:09Have a good day.
38:09He said he's hanging out off Ryan Creek
38:12and he hasn't been here in a month.
38:14Who knows?
38:17Hi, Troopers.
38:18Hi.
38:19Hi, how are you doing?
38:19Good.
38:20We're looking for Chris.
38:22Not the one in the van.
38:23The other Chris.
38:24He hasn't been home since he threw the strut through the window.
38:28Hi, Po.
38:28Oh.
38:29Is that ?
38:30Gotcha.
38:31Is he around here?
38:32I would assume if he threw a strut through your window,
38:34you probably aren't hanging out with him.
38:35Yeah, no.
38:36All right, thanks for talking to us.
38:38We talk to people.
38:39Sometimes they give us good information,
38:41sometimes they don't give us great information.
38:42It's a little bit of a puzzle that we play,
38:44but we try and piece it all together
38:45and just slowly pick through it
38:47until we figure out where this person is.
38:50Alaska is really just one giant small town
38:54and when the troopers show up,
38:56word gets around pretty quick.
38:57We get farther out from the beaten path.
38:59These guys think that, hey,
39:00the troopers aren't going to come all the way out here.
39:02They feel they can roll around
39:04without consequences out here.
39:13Hello.
39:17Well, who do you think we're looking for?
39:19I don't know.
39:19Is there anybody else in there with you?
39:21I don't know.
39:21All right.
39:22Hey, is Chris around?
39:24Chris who?
39:25That guy.
39:25Is that Chris?
39:26I don't know.
39:27No.
39:28That dude doesn't look familiar, though.
39:29I feel like he would stand out.
39:30I don't think so.
39:31Are you a Chris?
39:33I hope I'm Robert.
39:34I saw him on a bike one time.
39:36This guy.
39:37Oh.
39:38Oh.
39:40No, I haven't seen that Chris.
39:41I'm talking about a different Chris.
39:43When was the last time you saw this Chris?
39:44He don't come around no more.
39:45Everybody's saying he's staying here.
39:47I don't know.
39:49Let's keep trying.
39:58Up, wait.
40:00Walking around the corner.
40:02I believe I'm out.
40:03Chris, we're done.
40:07Sounds like one of the troop group.
40:08He just found the guy we're looking for.
40:09I'm going to go for it.
40:16Chris, stop.
40:17Where are you?
40:18What's that?
40:20Do you have an ID?
40:22No.
40:23OK, do me a favor.
40:24Put your hands behind your back.
40:25Be detained for right now, OK?
40:37You're Chris.
40:39Yeah?
40:41We can stop playing the game, man.
40:43You're under arrest for your warrant, OK?
40:45All right, give me that, because you're not going to be up.
40:46There you go.
40:49That's your warrant's for, right?
40:52Assault three and assault four.
40:55All right, man, let's go to jail.
40:58We're out here looking for this guy for his warrant,
41:00and I came up to this intersection here just to turn around,
41:02and he was walking around the corner, saw me,
41:04and immediately ducked his head, but I got a good look at his face
41:06and recognized him from the photo, so.
41:08He came up to the door.
41:16Days like today when we actually do end up finding them
41:19after trying working, talking to people, looking at different places,
41:23it's gratifying knowing that we were able to spend our time
41:26in a positive way to take someone off the streets that needed to go to jail.
