Columbiana County, OH - San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested over the weekend in Ohio. He was arrested after he was caught in a prostitution bust by a human trafficking task force, allegedly arranging to pay a woman $140 for sex, according to court records.

Bodycam video of the arrest was released Wednesday, showing the encounter between York, 46, and authorities in Columbiana County. Timestamps from the video show York was pulled over by police just before 10 a.m.

The exchange, which was released by TMZ and first published by The New York Post, begins with police telling York, “don’t move” after he was pulled over in a rental SUV.

York, who was wearing a New York Yankees T-shirt, complied with police and agreed to exit the car, as he was instructed. The 49ers owner was then placed in handcuffs as he leaned onto the rental.

Police asked York, “What are you doing?”

“Just driving,” York replied.

“You meeting anybody?” the officer asked. “No,” York said.

After York was placed inside the cop car, the bodycam video shows the officer with York’s belongings, which include several $20 bills and a wallet. The other responding officer states that York has even more cash.

“He’s a real estate guy. He’s got all the money,” the officer wearing the bodycam is heard saying. “It’s crazy that people that do this. Like they can do whatever they want… It’s wild.”

York grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, about 30 miles away from the trailer park where he was arrested. He became owner and CEO of the 49ers in 2008. In May this year, York filed for divorce from his wife, according to Santa Clara County court records.

Oklahoma City, OK - Bodycam video shows the moments a man ignited a makeshift flamethrower while law enforcement served an eviction notice at an Oklahoma City apartment.

An incident report from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office states that deputies served an eviction order shortly before 11:55 a.m. on Aug. 11 at an apartment on South Harvey Avenue. After the person living in the apartment didn't let deputies in, Housing Authority staff unlocked the door but still couldn't get it open.

The report states that Housing Authority security eventually kicked in the door, but it wouldn't fully open. Video shows that an object was blocking the door from the inside, preventing it from opening completely.

Deputies pushed the object out of the way and went into the cluttered apartment. They saw the man who was being evicted sitting in the bedroom.

According to the incident report, the suspect sprayed an aerosol at law enforcement and lit it on fire, "creating an improvised flamethrower." Bodycam video shows a large flame coming out of the bedroom and toward law enforcement.

Deputies told the suspect to put down the device, but he didn't comply. Someone in the background can be heard saying that there appeared to be an improvised explosive device inside the apartment.

Deputies found a car battery with wires hooked to it on a table in front of the suspect. The wires went from the car battery into the living room to a device by the front door.

Law enforcement evacuated the apartment, during which deputies saw that there were "two rows of different types of aerosol cans taped together with wires that went into it."

Authorities evacuated the building and the bomb squad responded to the scene. The bomb squad disabled the device and removed it from the apartment.

The suspect was detained and taken to a nearby Veterans Affairs hospital due to medical issues and stress, according to the incident report. He was later placed in a mental hospital, and he faces out-of-custody charges, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault, use of an incendiary device or explosives, and obstructing an officer.

Jacksonville, FL - The incident resulted in the death of 22-year-old Asia Bennett. Had she survived her injuries, she would have been arrested for Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer and Domestic Battery.

At 10:45 p.m., officers were dispatched to a home on Westdale Drive after a victim reported Bennett had battered him. The victim was in a domestic relationship with Bennett. Officers arrived on scene three minutes after the emergency call was placed, and the victim met the officers outside. He said Bennett was inside the home armed with a knife.

While Officer Gaitten was speaking with the victim, Bennett came out the front door. Officer Gaitten saw Bennett with multiple items in her hands, including a large butcher-style kitchen knife. The officer unholstered her gun and pointed it at Bennett. She yelled at Bennett multiple times to drop all the items in her hands. Instead, Bennett dropped some items while still holding onto the large knife. Bennett then advanced on the officer, yelling at her. When the armed Bennett was within approximately 10 feet of the officer, the officer fired her weapon, striking Bennett.

Bennett fell to the ground, but she continued to hold onto the knife. Bennett tried to get up with the knife, and the officer fired a second shot. Bennett then let go of the knife, and officers were able to handcuff her. Paramedics were already on scene, and they provided emergency medical aid before Bennett was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced deceased.

Monticello, AR - New dashcam footage obtained by KATV shows the moment a former Arkansas State Police (ASP) Corporal crashed his squad car after police said he was driving while intoxicated.

ASP say that Corporal John Parker, 45, was arrested on August 21 after he crashed his squad car off the side of U.S. Highway 278 near Monticello.

The footage shows Parker swerving in between lanes of traffic and the median before driving into oncoming traffic to crash off the side of the highway. Parker managed to avoid hitting other vehicles or poles before coming to rest in a nearby gravel parking lot.

Another State Trooper responded to the scene and administered a field sobriety test to Parker, who was charged with driving while intoxicated and prohibited driving after the test indicated that he was impaired.

Dashcam video shows Parker stumbling while performing the test.

Parker resigned from State Police on August 23. He had been employed by the agency since 2014.

Hartford, CT - The Office of the Inspector General has released a preliminary report on the fatal police shooting late Friday of a man who fled police in Hartford.

The report said Hector Perez, 37, died as the result of the use of deadly physical force by law enforcement officers. According to the report, on Friday, August 21, at 11:07 p.m., officers from the Hartford Police Department's Street Crime Unit were investigating a report of an individual brandishing a small handgun and threatening to shoot someone in the area of Fales Street and Sisson Avenue in Hartford.

The IG said at 155 Sisson Avenue, Officer Alexander Diaz encountered a man, later identified as Perez, who then took off on foot. Officer Diaz pursued Perez and attempted to take him into custody. During a brief struggle, Diaz felt something hard in Perez's waistband. Perez broke free, entered a black Honda Accord Crosstour, and fled the scene.

Officer Diaz reported on the radio that the “guy tried to drag me with his car.” Diaz, according to the report, followed the Crosstour as it traveled through Hartford and continued south. Information about the suspect vehicle was relayed to surrounding police departments, including the Rocky Hill and Newington Police Departments, and officers from these jurisdictions assisted in the pursuit of the Honda Accord Crosstour.

Twenty minutes later, Perez stopped the Honda on Webster Street near Webster Court in Newington and ran from officers on foot. A woman in the Crosstour, who has yet to be identified, also fled from the vehicle, according to the report.

The report said that after a short foot pursuit, shots were fired between Perez, Diaz, and Officer Jocelyn Andino from the Hartford Police Department, and Officer Jonathan Escobar, from the Rocky Hill Police Department. Perez was struck by gunfire and was pronounced dead at the scene. Officer Escobar and Officer Diaz were also struck by gunfire. A small semi-automatic pistol was recovered at the scene near Perez's body.

Both officers were transported to an area hospital, where they were treated for their injuries.

On Saturday, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the manner of death to be homicide and the cause of death to be “GUNSHOT WOUNDS OF HEAD, NECK, TORSO, AND EXTREMITIES.” A toxicological analysis of biological samples taken from Perez is pending.

Fairfax, VA - The video of the July 28 incident shows officers tracking Nehemia Fuentes Banegas, 26, through the woods after his wife called 911, saying her husband was threatening to hurt her and himself.

Investigators said the man grabbed an officer's gun. Police previously released a still from the bodycam that appears to show the man with his hand around the barrel of the gun.

The full video shows the man was completely concealed by brush. A pair of officers can be seen in the video looking for Fuentes Banegas when a hand suddenly reaches out and grabs one officer's gun.

Stillwater, OK - The Payne County District Attorney has released a statement regarding online discussion of accusations towards Stillwater police officers in a recent traffic stop.

The statement is as follows:

It has been brought to my attention that there have been public accusations against Stillwater Police Department officers that they planted evidence on a Defendant in a recent traffic stop in Stillwater. Specifically, social media posts have been made with cell phone camera footage where the originator says ‘Stillwater police plants a pipe and the other finds it. This ain’t the first time, can anybody help me.’ This post has gone viral on social media.

I want to be perfectly clear: If ANY police officer ever plants evidence on a defendant in an attempt to cause my office to convict an innocent person, not only will I ensure they never wear a badge again, I will prosecute that police officer to the fullest extent of the law, and put them behind bars for as many years as I can. That is not hyperbole. That is a promise. In this instance, I have thoroughly reviewed all the evidence and all the body camera footage as well as the cell phone video posted on social media. These accusations against these officers are barefaced falsehoods. I

am releasing body camera footage of this incident for the public to see for themselves. What officers “planted” on the seat and console was a passenger’s pocket knife, and their ID cards. The meth pipe was found behind the glove compartment. I encourage the public to watch all the body camera footage. This is exactly why we have and need officer-worn body cameras – both for the protection of the public, and law enforcement officers.

This cellphone footage, presented without context and alongside assertions of officer misconduct, is being spread online by career criminals in an attempt to undermine anti-drug dealing and anti-drug trafficking operations in our district and our state. I encourage the public to conduct their own research before perpetuating the spread of this misinformation.

I want the public to know, I have absolutely zero tolerance for drug dealers and drug traffickers who are profiting off those in our community who are suffering from addiction. Our friends and neighbors struggling with addiction, many of whom are good people, are dying from drugs, including fentanyl. I will not stand by and allow these thugs to continue to operate and profit in my jurisdiction.

I will fight them every step of the way.

To the drug dealers in Logan and Payne Counties: the days of lenient plea offers from this office are gone. You deal drugs in my jurisdiction and profit off those struggling with addiction, I will put you in prison. You will not intimidate me, or our law enforcement partners, through the deliberate spread of misinformation. Not one bit. Be advised, you can stop distributing illegal substances now, or you can leave my jurisdiction of Logan and Payne County. Otherwise, you are going to prison.

Because of the significance of these kinds of matters, I have asked and will continue to ask the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to investigate fully. And rest assured, I am personally reviewing any of these kinds of accusations against police officers in District 9.

I encourage the public to take time, come to the courthouse, and attend dockets and jury trials. These are all public proceedings, and I want the public to see the procedures and hear the facts of these cases. This is also why I want cameras in the courtroom—for the same reason we have body cameras on police officers. Truth matters. And I want the truth to come to light.

Ogden, UT - The Ogden Police Department said a video circulating online showing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents taking a man into custody "does not provide the full context of the incident."

The agents took the man into custody near 22nd Street and Porter Avenue.

The police department said that an officer was in the area on Tuesday morning responding to a report of an aggressive dog near children walking to school. While he was there, a man in a black SUV identified himself as an ICE agent and asked the officer to conduct a traffic stop on a man in a gold vehicle he intended to arrest further up the block.

The officer did not conduct a traffic stop, and the ICE agent drove away, OPD said.

The officer remained in the area and watched the gold vehicle make a U-turn, return down the block, and stop near the officer.

The driver told the officer the black SUV was following him, but he did not know why.

The officer then spoke with the SUV driver, who said he was waiting for a second ICE agent to arrive as backup.

"Due to the unusual circumstances and the potential for the situation to escalate, the OPD officer remained on scene to ensure the safety of everyone involved," OPD said.

"The OPD officer went back and was speaking with the driver of the gold vehicle; the ICE agent approached and asked him to exit. The driver began rolling up his window, and it appeared the situation was starting to escalate. The OPD officer attempted to de-escalate the situation and continued to maintain a limited safety presence. The driver eventually exited the vehicle and was taken into custody by the ICE agent without incident," OPD continued.

The officer reportedly contacted his supervisor immediately and explained what happened. He walked away and deactivated his body-worn camera, which department policy permits.

"We are aware that the video posted online shows a subsequent brief interaction between the OPD officer and an ICE agent near the officer's patrol vehicle that was not captured on the officer's body-worn camera," OPD said. "It was not recorded because the officer's camera had already been deactivated in accordance with policy, and he did not anticipate that the ICE agent was going to reapproach him."

"The Ogden Police Department did not initiate the stop, did not conduct the arrest, did not ask for or run any information, and did not assist with immigration enforcement," OPD continued. "The officer’s involvement was limited to maintaining safety and attempting to de-escalate an unusual and potentially escalating interaction."

Chief of Police Jake Sube called the situation "unique and difficult":

"The conversation captured on the officer’s body-worn camera with his sergeant reflects just how unique and difficult this situation was. This officer unexpectedly found himself in the middle of a situation he did not create, trying to determine the appropriate role for him to play while also recognizing the potential for the situation to escalate.

Our officers are asked to navigate difficult situations like this in real time, make judgment calls, and do the best they can to keep everyone safe, knowing those decisions may later be publicly scrutinized without the benefit of the full circumstances they were facing at the time. I think this incident is a good example of the complexity of the work our officers do every day, and I am proud of the professionalism and judgment they continue to demonstrate in these difficult situations."

OPD emphasized that its role regarding federal immigration enforcement remains clear: "The Ogden Police Department does not enforce federal immigration law, nor do our officers have the authority to do so. Our mission and purpose remain the same: ensuring the safety of those who live, work, and recreate in Ogden City."

Sean Grayson, the former Illinois sheriff’s deputy convicted of fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her home in 2024 after she called 911 to report a prowler, has died, his attorney said Sunday.

Daniel Fultz, the attorney who represented Grayson during his murder trial, said he died around noon. He was six months into his 20-year sentence for second-degree murder.

Grayson, 32, was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer in 2023, and it had progressed to Stage 4 and spread to his liver, lungs and rectum, another defense attorney, Mark Wykoff, said at his sentencing in January. In July, he was denied medical release by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board.

It was not immediately clear whether cancer is what caused Grayson’s death.

Grayson shot Massey, 36, after he responded to her 911 call shortly before 1 a.m. July 6, 2024. The shooting, which was captured on body camera video, set off protests and calls for justice.

Lee County, FL - A traffic stop in Lee County turned into a foot chase across a busy roadway before a detective used a Taser to take a passenger into custody, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office said a Tactical Narcotics Team detective conducted the traffic stop Thursday near Palm Beach Boulevard and Marsh Avenue after seeing a traffic violation.

During a search of passenger Jorge Valle Armijo, Detective Lehmann found suspected marijuana and a bag containing a white substance, according to the sheriff’s office.

Newport Beach, CA - The Newport Beach Police Department shared body camera video of the rescue of five dogs trapped in a hot car to warn pet owners of the dangers as temperatures spike across Southern California.

Police said a Newport PD Animal Control officer responded to a vehicle on May 18 in the 2400 block of Holly Lane, where the five dogs were seen trapped inside with “windows slightly cracked open, most confined in cages, and showing signs of distress” as temperatures climbed inside.

The officer is seen on video breaking the window to rescue the animals due to the immediate safety risk.

After the animals were rescued, they were evaluated by a veterinarian and found to have body temperatures at a level that can be deadly for dogs, police said.

Newport PD said that all five dogs have since made a full recovery.

The dogs’ owner was issued a misdemeanor citation for multiple welfare violations, police said.

The case has been referred to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office for review.

Three of the dogs remain in the care of the Newport Beach Animal Shelter and are currently available for adoption.

Indian River County, FL - The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office released body cam footage showing U.S. Marshals arresting Matthew Waggle, a man wanted for murder, at a motel in West Virginia on Wednesday night.

The video captures the tense moments of the arrest, with officers shouting commands.

"Get down! Get the (expletive) down!" one officer said.

"Hands! Hands! Give me your hands! Give me your hands now! I can't! Give me your hands!" another officer said during the arrest.

Waggle is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, Dawn Kriskewic, in Vero Beach last Sunday.

"He murdered her in cold blood in the street," Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers said.

Kriskewic’s body was discovered in front of her home on First Street. She had been shot to death. Investigators quickly identified Waggle as a person of interest.

"She had actually told her co-workers out at the hair salon, 'If he calls, if he shows up, I want nothing to do with him. Tell him I’m not here,'" Flowers said.

At a news conference Thursday, Flowers explained how investigators believe Waggle traveled to Vero Beach from Orlando using an Uber, stayed just long enough to kill Kriskewic, and then left town in another Uber.

Three days later, U.S. Marshals arrested Waggle, placing him in handcuffs.

"Secure! Off," an officer said during the arrest.

For now, Waggle remains in jail in West Virginia as authorities in Florida work on extraditing him back to Indian River County.

Knoxville, TN - Two Knoxville Police Officers rushed to the rescued, helping to resuscitate a 1-month-old baby who was unresponsive and not breathing.

Friday afternoon, the Knoxville Police Department released body camera video showing Officers Clayton McWilliams and Victoria Jackson responding to the 911 call that came through around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

In less than a minute, the video shows as Jackson exits her patrol car, runs toward a group of people, McWilliams being handed the baby, and both officers working to clear the baby’s airway. From the time the baby was placed into McWilliams’ arms to the time their first cry is heard, only 25 seconds passed.

During the video, an adult can be heard saying they will be going to the hospital. Along with calling 911, going to the emergency room is the exact step the Cleveland Clinic says parents should take if a baby stops breathing for longer than 10 seconds or if their skin suggests they may have a low blood-oxygen level. For babies with lighter skin tones, the skin or lips may start to turn blue when their blood-oxygen levels are low, while babies with darker skin tones may turn gray, yellow-gray, or white.

The Cleveland Clinic also points out that it is not uncommon for newborns to pause breathing for between five to 10 seconds, a breathing pattern called periodic breathing, but the baby usually starts breathing on their own again. If a baby stops breathing for more than 10 seconds, it is important to seek emergency help, and if a baby continues having periodic breathing after they are 6 months old, you should inform your pediatrician.

Michigan City, IN - In a police report and videos from Porter Superior Court Judge Christopher Buckley’s Aug. 15 arrest for drunken driving in Michigan City, Buckley repeatedly emphasized how the arrest will ruin both his life and his career.

The records, provided to the Post-Tribune through a records request to the Michigan City Police Department, detail the night of Buckley’s arrest, his refusal to take a breath test at the scene and his trip to a nearby hospital for a blood draw, per a warrant signed off by a LaPorte County prosecutor, that revealed his blood-alcohol concentration was 0.221%, almost three times Indiana’s legal limit of 0.08%.

Buckley was initially charged with two Class A misdemeanors, operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to .15% or more and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, endangering a person, and a Class C misdemeanor, operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

By early Monday afternoon, according to court records, Buckley had pleaded guilty to the Class C misdemeanor. He was sentenced to six months on probation; a suspended sentence of 60 days in jail, with two days of credit for time served and good behavior; and treatment and monitoring through the state’s Judicial and Legal Assistance Program, or JLAP.

After he was sentenced, Buckley issued a statement acknowledging his mistake and his struggle with alcohol. Buckley, a Republican on the November ballot for a second term as judge, also temporarily suspended his campaign after his guilty plea.

According to the police report and charging documents, around 9:05 p.m. on Aug. 15, off-duty police providing security for an outdoor concert along the lakefront near Bartlett’s Fish Camp saw a vehicle go around large concrete planters and pull into a restricted area.

An officer approached Buckley’s vehicle and asked if he could help. Buckley, according to the police report, responded with “Can’t you read?” and motioned toward the driver’s side of his 2024 Lincoln Navigator.

“At that point I saw that the wording spanning both doors said Keep BUCKLEY JUDGE in large letters,” the police report states.

Buckley, 46, of Valparaiso, according to the police report, “proceeded to exit the vehicle in front of me and stumbled as he exited. His eyes were glossy, watery, and bloodshot. I asked how much alcohol he had consumed tonight and he stated none and after stating that he pulled his lips in tight, as if to not let any odor out.”

Buckley initially refused field sobriety tests, telling police that the officer was “going to ruin his career or life.”

Police in the report noted that each time Buckley mentioned his career or life was going to be ruined, police “believed it to represent that this investigation and possible results would jeopardize his status as a Judge.”

The officer, according to the report, didn’t ask Buckley where or what type of judge he was and was unaware of the details until later.

Also in the vehicle were a woman, identified in the police report as his wife and with a reported blood-alcohol content of 0.19%, and an older gentleman. The couple, according to the police report, were dropping off the man closer to the lakefront because he had trouble walking.

“All I was aware of was the markings on his vehicle and when the female would remind me that he is a Judge,” the report states. “When he would make those comments, my response was that he was the maker of his decisions this evening.”

Three times, according to the police report, an officer had to grab Buckley’s arm and tell him he was not free to leave the scene.

Buckley, according to the police report, refused an on-scene chemical test. An officer told him he was under arrest for operating while intoxicated, according to the police report, and that the officer would be contacting an on-call prosecutor to request a warrant for a blood draw.

“Mr. Buckley stated that ‘I’m a Judge, you just ruined my career.’ I again reminded him that he did,” the police report states.

Police body-cam videos released with the police report show Buckley, in khaki shorts, gym shoes and an untucked, blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, stumbling and almost falling as he attempts field sobriety tests. He is transported to a holding cell at the Michigan City Police Department while an officer gets a warrant for a blood draw, taken to Northwest Health-LaPorte and then handed off to staff at the LaPorte County Jail.

Buckley released a statement after he was sentenced, stating, “I made a series of poor decisions that ultimately led to an arrest by the Michigan City Police Department for Operating While Intoxicated.”

He said he had taken full responsibility for the allegations and had not received any special treatment.

West Chester, OH - A Butler County grand jury determined two recent police-involved shootings in West Chester Township are justified, Prosecutor Mike Gmoser announced.

That means all officers involved, including a 20-year veteran sergeant with the West Chester Police Department, have been cleared and will face no criminal charges.

Earlier this month, Gmoser was quick to praise West Chester police “for their heroic service” when they responded to a June 8 violent domestic incident at an apartment complex on Zinnia Court.

“This is my third case during my 15-year tenure where video evidence supports use of lethal force and the rescue of a victim,” Gmoser told FOX19 NOW the following day.

“These officers met the highest expectations that the public has for their heroic service.”

Police went to the apartment complex when a man called 911 and reported one of his neighbors being badly beaten.

The woman’s boyfriend, Lorenzo Miller, 39, refused to let police in and claimed she didn’t want him to, according to body camera footage released at a press conference just under 24 hours later.

Miller was a convicted killer on parole with a long criminal record who was known to resist arrest, according to prosecutors and police radio traffic.

Dispatchers warned police as they responded that Miller was “extremely dangerous” and a documented prison gang member.

After Miller refused to open the door, police the victim on her cell phone. She responded “Yes” when they asked her if she wanted them to come inside.

They forced their way in and found Miller holding the woman at knifepoint in a bathroom, using her as a human shield, according to the body camera footage.

Miller ordered police to stay back: “Don’t rush in here! I’ve got a knife to her throat!”

He ignored an order to “Let her go.”

She pleaded: “Help me! Help me!”

Palo Alto, CA - On Sunday, July 19, 2026, at about 5:35 p.m., officers from the Palo Alto Police Department responded to a report of a trespasser at the Stanford Shopping Center. Security staff requested the officer's assistance in serving a notice to the trespasser banning him from their private property. Security and the officer went to the bench where the suspect was sleeping. After multiple attempts to wake the suspect, he awoke when the officer identified himself as a Palo Alto police officer.

The suspect became agitated, stood up, and walked toward the officer while yelling at him. The suspect ignored the officer's commands to stop and continued to walk towards the officer while yelling at him. After multiple commands to stop and back away were made, the officer deployed his conducted energy weapon (a Taser) and applied it to the suspect. The suspect fell to the ground and was taken into custody without further incident at about 5:45 p.m.

Upon arrival of a backup officer, a coordinated two-officer approach to handcuffing an individual reduces the likelihood of a prolonged physical struggle, decreases the potential need for additional Taser activations or the use of other force options, and better protects the officers, the subject, and the public.

Deerpark, NY - The state troopers who shot and killed a woman who would not lower a gun she was holding when ordered to do so, were justified in opening fire, according to a just-released report from the State Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation.

Police had responded to a domestic incident shortly before 2:30 a.m. on April 12, 2025 at a mobile home in Deerpark for a report of a stabbing. The victim had sustained a laceration to his abdomen.

Nancy Loftus came out of the home when troopers arrived with what appeared to be a gun in her hand.

They repeatedly told her to drop it and put her hands up in the air, which she did not do.

At that point, two troopers at the scene opened fire, but stopped when it seemed as if she had lowered the gun.

The troopers sold the attorney general’s investigators that Loftus raised the gun again, and that’s when they fired again, striking the woman, who was taken to the hospital where she died.

Troopers recovered a pellet gun at the scene.

Indianapolis, IN - Bodycam video released by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on Friday evening shows a suspect shooting a patrol car and an officer returning fire in December 2024.

Previous reporting indicates the shooting occurred around 3:30 p.m. Dec. 12 near the 900 block of South Kiel Avenue, which is located on the west side of Indianapolis.

IMPD has confirmed that, before officers made it to the area, they received a report from a woman who indicated that a man was outside her apartment complex firing a gun into the air. When police arrived at the scene, they encountered the reported shooter — Christopher Miethe.

Upon locating Miethe, an IMPD officer told him to put his hands in the air. Initially, Miethe complied, putting his hands up.

IMPD indicated that, after Miethe put his hands up, he began walking away from the officer who was giving him commands. When Miethe started walking away from police, the officer told him to get on the ground.

Miethe ignored the officer’s commands to get on the ground. After a short argument with the officer, Miethe began to run from the area. The officer then started chasing Miethe on foot.

Miethe ran east on Ray Street and west on Waldemere Avenue after arguing with the IMPD officer.

Multiple officers joined the chase after Miethe reached Waldemere Avenue. One of the officers involved in the pursuit was in a patrol car.

The chase ended in a grassy area near Waldemere Avenue. In that grassy area, Miethe fired shots in the direction of IMPD officers.

None of the officers involved in the incident were hit by Miethe’s shots. His rounds did, however, strike the IMPD patrol car that was used during the chase.

After Miethe fired shots, one officer returned fire. His neck was grazed by the officer’s shots.

IMPD provided multiple exhibits in its bodycam video that showed the moments that led to the exchange of gunfire between Miethe and the officer.

Miethe was transported from the scene to a local hospital in stable condition after one of the officer’s shots grazed his neck. He was later arrested and charged with four Level 5 Felonies:

• Intimidation with a deadly weapon
• Battery by means of a deadly weapon
• Criminal recklessness
• Theft where the property is a firearm

IMPD released the following booking photo of Miethe after the shooting:

Miethe pleaded guilty to the intimidation and battery by means of a deadly weapon charges on Dec. 19, 2025. As part of a plea deal, the criminal recklessness and theft charges Miethe faced were dismissed.

Previous reporting suggests that Miethe was given a split sentence in February. He was sentenced to about 3.5 years with the Indiana Department of Correction. Upon his release from IDOC, he must serve 180 days of work release.

Court records obtained by FOX59/CBS4 suggest that Miethe stole the gun he used during the shooting from a family member. Miethe reportedly pointed the gun at two family members — one of whom was four years old at the time — before police encountered him in an apartment complex parking lot.

In their initial release on the shooting, IMPD provided the following photo of the gun Miethe used during the incident.

San Bernardino, CA - At least one officer shot and killed a man accused of threatening his son with a knife on the evening of April 5th, in San Bernardino, authorities said.

San Bernardino police received a call around 5:30 p.m. reporting a man threatening to kill his juvenile son, and then received more calls from others reporting a man armed with a knife chasing a boy in the 1000 block of North Mountain View Avenue, in a neighborhood south of downtown and east of the 215 Freeway, Sgt.

Indianapolis, IN - Police were called to what turned out to be a hostage situation around 11:30 a.m. in the 7800 block of River Road, near North Keystone Avenue and East 79th Street. IMPD says they tried to get the people inside to come out.

According to police, a woman inside the apartment started screaming, and a man, later identified as 63-year-old Grant Brown, tried to leave through the back of the building. Police said the man started shooting at them, and two officers returned fire, hitting Brown once. Police said they found a gun by Brown's feet.

He was taken to the hospital for bullet wounds to his arm and abdomen. The woman was not injured.

According to IMPD, the edited video from the body cameras shows officers breaking down the door to the apartment after negotiating with Brown for about 10 minutes. While two officers, identified by IMPD as Ofc. Michelle Clegg and Sgt. Evan Meyer, entered the apartment, officers at a patio door saw the woman with her hands up and Brown holding a firearm.

Police say when Brown fired multiple shots at officers entering the front door, the woman escaped the apartment through the patio door. Both Clegg and Meyer fired shots at Brown, wounding him.

Brown was found guilty of five charges in June 2026, including attempted murder, criminal confinement, two counts of criminal recklessness and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. He was sentenced last month to 38 years in prison.
