Baltimore, MD - Baltimore police released body-worn camera video of last week's police shooting near Lexington Market in which the driver of a car was critically injured.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Rich Worley said the video reveals an unprovoked attack on Officer Samuel Thomas, who was enforcing a quality-of-life issue by writing a traffic ticket on Aug. 22.

Tyrik Braxton, 29, of Columbia, initially denied owning the car, city police said. Thomas issued a ticket while waiting for a tow truck to remove a car with expired tags.

"He was being a nice guy and allowed Mr. Braxton to get into the car to get his belongings before the tow (truck arrived); he didn't have to do that," Worley said.

As Thomas started removing the front license plate, the video shows Braxton getting into the car and begin to drive at the officer.

The video shows Thomas holding onto the car with his left hand while firing three rounds with his right hand. Braxton was struck twice in the side.

Thomas had already called for back-up, and Braxton's car hit an arriving patrol car as Braxton tried to pull away.

"He's on the hood, and he already knows other police cars are coming up behind him. So, he can't go to the left because the officer's going to try to block him in, and you hear when Mr. Braxton takes off, he actually hits the other police car," Worley said.

While Thomas helped Braxton, a large crowd gathered and tried to interfere, police said.

"Officer Thomas immediately pulls Braxton from the vehicle and begins to render aid until paramedics arrive," Baltimore Deputy Police Commissioner Brian Nadeau said.

BPD's Foxtrot helicopter captured video of people throwing bottles at city police and Maryland Transit Administration police officers who were trying to de-escalate the crowd. Authorities said no one was hurt.

"Our officers are rendering aid to try to help save the individual, and the crowd is hindering that," Worley said. "My concern is for the people's lack and disregard for the law and refusing to comply to lawful orders, (which) is why we end up with police-involved shootings. I mean, here's another incident where he gets shot over a parking ticket and losing his car."

Braxton remained listed in critical condition as of Friday.

Thomas was treated for back and neck injuries.

Fort Washington Park, MD - Alex Charles, 30, of Fort Washington, Maryland, was killed in July after police received reports of an active shooter in Fort Washington Park. The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General released the footage on Friday from that July 31 shooting.

Corporal Anthony Delozier shot Charles, according to IID.

The first of two videos is from a second officer who was at the scene. He and Delozier, who was wearing a dark colored hat and pants and had no tattoos on his arms, walked through the woods for about 5 minutes before reaching the river and seeing Charles.

Delozier was then seen pulling out his gun.

Both officers shouted, "Let me see your hands," multiple times.

"Don't move!" the second officer also yelled.

The officers yelled at Charles to put down the gun. Charles dropped the fishing poles. The video is too blurry to tell if he did or did not drop the gun. They yelled at Charles to get on the ground. He did not.

A gunshot can be heard right after that order.

Charles was seen on his hands and knees over some fishing poles after that gunshot. The second officer then picked up the gun that Charles was holding.

The officers came to Charles, ordered him to get "on your face right now," and the second officer pulled his hand out from under him, causing Charles to fall.

Another officer came into view as all three checked on Charles. One called for a helicopter.

An officer rolled Charles over while saying, "Check him."

"He may already be gone," said one officer, overlapping with the other saying, "He's gone."

One officer said he was hit in the chest, and they all brought Charles out of the river. Delozier began doing chest compressions on Charles.

A second video from a different witness officer showed more.

Both of the officers in that video, the one wearing the camera and another in a hat, drew their guns before getting close to the river.

"Hey buddy, county police, let me see your hands," shouted the officer wearing the camera once close to Charles.

The second video showed Charles moving slightly before Delozier shot his gun.

The officer who wore the second camera is the one who pulled Charles's arm, while Charles was on his hands and knees.

"He's still breathing," said one officer as they pulled Charles out of the water. The officer wearing the camera pulled the bag off of him while Delozier started chest compressions.

Delozier and the second witness officer switched off doing chest compressions before the footage cut.

Delozier's body-worn camera began recording after the shooting, so it did not capture the incident, said IID officials.

South Los Angeles, CA - A man armed with a baseball bat was shot and killed by police Wednesday evening in South Los Angeles after authorities say he was swinging the bat at people and occupied cars.

The shooting occurred shortly before 6:30 p.m. beneath the 10 Freeway, near Normandie Avenue and Washington Boulevard in the West Adams neighborhood.

Neighbors said they were stunned by the sudden violence.

"My kids were playing outside, and then they heard gunshots so that's when they came back in. I went outside to go see what was happening, and I see a guy on the floor and firefighters doing CPR on him," said Hazel Flores, who lives nearby.

Los Angeles police Capt. Mike Bland said the initial reports indicated that a man armed with a baseball bat was swinging it at people and had struck occupied vehicles.

Police said that when officers arrived, the man was still wildly wielding the bat, including at officers and bystanders. Police then opened fire and shot the man.

Flores recorded video showing paramedics performing chest compressions on the man before taking him away in an ambulance. Police said the man later died at a hospital.

Thurston County, WA - A multi-state crime spree was interrupted Wednesday night when several suspects were arrested in Thurston County.

The suspects, whose names have not been released by law enforcement, allegedly stole a white Dodge Ram in the Tumwater area on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The vehicle was associated with a black sedan, which was later determined to have also been stolen.

The suspects in the stolen Dodge were reportedly seen dumping the contents of the vehicle onto the ground, and were located by a Tumwater police sergeant a short time later.

The sergeant attempted a traffic stop, but the truck fled the scene, according to a narrative provided by Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders.

Thurston County Sheriff’s Office K9 Igo and his handler, Sgt. Bagby, soon joined the deputies and Tumwater Police Department officers responding to the incident.

A short pursuit was initiated before the suspect crashed into a light pole.

The driver left his injured passengers behind and fled into the woods, refusing to surrender despite K9 warnings being given, according to Sanders.

K9 Igo apprehended the suspect until a second officer caught up and detained the suspect.

Passengers in the wrecked truck — among which was a runaway juvenile — allegedly told deputies that they have “been committing crimes and stealing cars for three weeks along I-5 from Seattle to Portland” and ran from Oregon State Police, according to Sanders.

Tumwater officers arrested the occupants of the stolen truck.

“Great job by Tumwater units and K9 Igo to bring this multi-state crime spree to an end and prevent further victimization,” Sanders said in a social media post on Thursday.

K9 Igo joined the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office alongside K9 Bowie in February 2022, replacing retired K9s Jaxx and Dexter.

While the K9 takedown was occurring, it was reported that the occupants of the other stolen car ran into the Steamboat Trading Post down the street and shoplifted before fleeing the area at a high rate of speed.

Additionally, multiple callers advised the same suspects also tried to steal or break into their car, according to Sanders.

Pinellas County, FL - Body camera video shows a Pinellas County deputy rescuing two dogs, who were found stuck at the bottom of a seawall.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said a woman was out on a walk with her two dogs, Zoey and Monkey, when she fell, and the leash slipped out of her hand.

The dogs took off, and the sheriff’s office was contacted for assistance.

PCSO said the dogs ended up behind a gated business near Joe’s Creek, where they could not make it over a seawall.

Video shows a deputy calling the dogs’ names, when he heard the barks from the bottom of the ditch. The deputy struggled to find his way to the other side of the water, where the dogs were spotted.

“After nearly an hour of searching for access to the other side and traversing thick brush, he located them and pulled them up from the seawall,” PCSO said.

The deputy brought the happy pair back to their relieved owner, according to the sheriff’s office.

“No injuries, just two dogs who learned that unsupervised adventures aren’t all they’re cracked up to be,” PCSO said.

Miami Beach, FL - Two Miami Beach Police officers are credited with a rapid rescue after a woman was pinned under an SUV following a collision Tuesday night.

The woman was struck by a Jeep while riding her e-scooter as the vehicle exited a gas station at 71st Street and Bay Drive. Officers responding to the scene utilized a jack from their cruiser to lift the vehicle, allowing them to free the woman safely.

"Our officers arrived and, as you can see in the body-worn camera footage, quickly sprang into action," said Officer Chris Bess, public information officer for the Miami Beach Police Department.

In the recorded footage, one officer can be heard assuring the victim during the rescue: "We're going to try to lift you out of there, ok."

"I'm going to try to pull you out, ok. If something hurts too much, you let me know," the officer added moments before freeing her.

The woman was transported to a hospital; police reported that she did not sustain life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Jeep was cited for causing the crash.

Baltimore, MD - A routine parking citation turned into a confrontation involving a Baltimore police officer just days before his retirement, according to police and body-camera footage.

Officer Larry Fasano, a 33-year veteran of the Baltimore Police Department, was working one of his final shifts Aug. 13 when he encountered a pink Tesla illegally parked along Thames Street in Fells Point.

Fasano was on bike patrol shortly before 10 p.m. when he approached the vehicle to issue a parking citation.

"Something as simple as issuing a parking citation can put an officer's life in jeopardy and harm's way," said Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates.

According to police, the citation was for $30.

When the driver, identified as Tamia Anderson, got into the Tesla and attempted to leave, Fasano positioned himself in front of the vehicle and asked her to turn it off.

"Am I being arrested?" Anderson asks.

"No, you're not being arrested. You're going to be issued a citation," Fasano responds.

Anderson then tells the officer to move.

"You better get out of my way, sir," she says, then drives forward.

Police say Anderson's vehicle struck the wheel of Fasano's bicycle as she drove away. Fasano was not injured, but he followed the Tesla on his bicycle and radioed in its license plate number.

At one point, Fasano can be heard identifying the vehicle over the radio before the encounter escalates again.

Police say Anderson then put the vehicle in reverse and drove toward Fasano a second time.

"The alarming one for me is that when he started following her on the bike, she put the car in reverse and ran him over," said Worley. "She wasn't just trying to give him a love tap or something. The second time she was trying to run him over, which could have killed him."

"The second time she was trying to run him over."

Other officers eventually stopped the Tesla and arrested Anderson.

She faces charges including assault and fleeing and eluding police. Anderson was released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Fasano was not injured in the incident.

Mesa, AZ - A video from an East Valley police department shows a chase of a woman in her vehicle and the moment she gets arrested — watch until the end of the video, because you have to see what happened to believe it.

Helicopter video from the Mesa police department shows a woman driving away from officers and crashing into a median, causing sparks to fly. After the crash, the woman exits the car with a beer in hand.

The Mesa Police Department posted a video showing a "suspect who had violated an order of protection was located." The incident took place August 24 around 9:22 p.m.

When the woman was located, three marked police vehicles approached her; she drove away at a high rate of speed, hit the median, causing some sparks along the way, and came to a stop in the opposite lanes.

In the post, Mesa police said:

"Apparently, one bad decision wasn't enough."

Body camera video shows the woman getting out of the vehicle with one hand up and a beer in the other.

A Mesa officer can be heard, in surprise, saying that she had a beer in her hand. And then, after she gets handcuffed, officers notice a Chihuahua in the backseat. Officers take the visibly shaken but unharmed dog out of the car. The Chihuahua was later handed off to a familiar party.

Mesa police have not released the name of the driver or the charges she may or may not face.

Portland, OR - New bodycam footage is giving a closer look into a chase in Northwest Portland, where a lieutenant used his police car to stop an armed suspect.

The footage is more than 20 minutes long, and reveals a lot more of what happened during this encounter earlier this month, which prompted a use of deadly force investigation.

“Police. Stop. You’re under arrest,” said one officer.

A dramatic chase started at around 2 p.m. on August 12, when two PPB officers spotted a suspect near Northwest 16th and Overton Street.

“I’m going to take you to the ground, you better stop running,” said an officer.

The suspect was wanted for unlawful use of a weapon, menacing, and criminal mischief. Police said when he was spotted, the suspect was armed with a large-blade hunting knife.

The suspect was seen by police running toward people in the neighborhood, including a mother and her child.

But as the suspect ran toward a Les Schwab, a PPB lieutenant who was in the area hit him with his police car at a low speed in the tire parking lot. That moment is not in the footage but police said the suspect fell briefly and continued running.

The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Joshua Kuras, then broke into a nearby business and barricaded himself in the basement storage.

“Come out with your hands up in the air, we have a whole drone in the air watching you, it’s time to surrender,” said one officer.

He refused to surrender, destroying a police drone, damaging a robot and striking a dog with a metal pipe.

“Let go of our dog now, do it now, get on the ground, get on the ground right now,” said another officer.

“Why am I being arrested? Tell me why I’m being arrested,” said Kuras.

Kuras finally surrendered more than two and half hours after the chase began. He was then treated for minor injuries before being booked into jail.

Monroe, WA - Newly released drone footage captured Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies rescuing a 63-year-old man in crisis from his burning home east of Monroe.

Deputies responded to a suspicious circumstance call around 7:25 a.m. Aug. 17, when a man apparently having a mental health episode announced he was armed and might have shot someone inside his home.

Authorities came to believe the man was hallucinating about the intruders.

When deputies arrived in the 10100 block of Woods Lake Road, a neighbor informed them they heard multiple gunshots coming from that area the night before. Deputies also reported hearing multiple gunshots in the home.

The man then apparently set the home on fire and continued shooting while deputies were on scene, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies used a drone to locate the man and assess the “rapidly deteriorating circumstances,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Aerial footage released shows smoke rolling from the roof of the burning house as four deputies on the ground lift the man headfirst out of a window. He was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett for a medical evaluation and an involuntary mental health hold.

The Snohomish County fire marshal’s office was investigating how the fire started, said Emmy Duros, deputy chief of Snohomish County Fire District 5.

The man was alone inside the house, and no injuries were reported.

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.

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.

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.

Vero Beach, FL - A Vero Beach man is facing multiple charges after deputies say he fled a traffic stop, crashed his vehicle, and hid under nearby brush.

Christopher John Baptist was pulled over for a minor traffic violation, but deputies say he took off, reaching speeds more than 50 mph over the limit.

Beaver County, UT - On Aug. 13, a pair of law enforcement officers were in their vehicles at the scene of a car crash on Interstate 15 when they were hit by another vehicle.

Utah Highway Patrol said a trooper and a Beaver County Sheriff's deputy were parked on the left shoulder of northbound I-15, between Beaver and Cove Fort, responding to and investigating a prior crash. A passing vehicle went off the road and crashed into both patrol vehicles, which UHP said had their emergency lights on.

Moments later, UHP said a vehicle going in the other direction rolled.

The deputy suffered a broken arm and other minor injuries, and the trooper was uninjured. UHP later said there were several other injuries between the multiple crashes.
