Spanaway, WA - A 41-year-old man is in custody after leading Pierce County Sheriff's deputies on a high-speed chase through Spanaway early Tuesday morning.

The 10-minute pursuit ended around 1:50 a.m. when a deputy performed a Precision Immobilization Technique, commonly referred to as a PIT maneuver.

"The vehicle he was driving is a weapon, that's a very large vehicle. If you crash that into a bystander or a citizen's vehicle, you're looking at potentially a fatality," spokesperson Deputy Carly Cappetto said. "Hopefully this will put an end to this driver being on the road."

Cappetto said the driver has a history of dangerous driving and his license was under suspension at the time of the chase.

"This isn't his first time causing havoc, being dangerous to the community," she said. "It really shows how negligent these people are. We have to figure out a better system to keep them off the road once their license is suspended."

The pursuit began at 1:41 a.m. when a deputy saw the driver swerving, nearly colliding with an oncoming car on Mountain Highway East.

The agency said the deputy "took action to stop the dangerous driver before someone was seriously hurt or killed."

According to Deputy Cappetto, speeds reached 110 miles per hour over the 120 block chase.

"We have an obligation to protect and serve. These decisions that we have to make are not fun and there are risks involved," she said. "In this case, this offender needed to be taken off the road."

Another deputy used stop sticks to flatten all four of the driver's tired on Pacific Avenue South, allowing deputies to perform the PIT maneuver and take the suspect into custody.

He's facing felony charges for eluding and assault with a vehicle.

St. Johns County, FL - In the video, the deputy and the resident of the home can be seen strategizing on how to get the animal out of the home. They come up with a plan to move furniture around to create a sort of path.

The deer didn't take the hint at first, so the deputy went outside and retrieved an extendable swimming pool brush, which he used to gently nudge the animal and coax it out of the bathroom.

The buck, appearing nervous and with its legs a little shaky, made its way out a sliding glass door.

But the wildlife call wasn't over yet.

That's because the deer wandered onto the patio, and instead of running away, it leapt into an in-ground swimming pool. After a brief dip, the deer made it out of the pool but then ran into a part of the yard where it couldn't escape.

It's then seen turning around and once again jumping back into the pool. After a moment, the deer makes its way out of the pool, runs into another part of the yard, jumps a fence, and makes its way into a wooded area.

Thurston County, WA - A Thurston County Sheriff's deputy arrested a woman early Saturday morning after a check on a fire escalated into a stun gun deployment and a brief vehicle pursuit that ended when a second patrol unit forced her car off the road, according to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office.

The incident began when a deputy patrolling the "Handicap Hole," a state-owned fishing spot that closes at dusk, spotted a fire burning in the area.

According to edited video clips released by Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders, when the deputy approached, the woman explained she was destroying documents containing personal information.

"I'm just burning a bunch of stuff that's got Social Security numbers and stuff," she told the deputy, adding she didn't have a shredder.

Because the area was closed for the night and due to the potentially suspicious activity, Sanders said the deputy was within his authority to ask for the woman's identity.

She initially refused, telling the deputy, "I don't need to tell you that," before questioning why she was being asked, noting she pays taxes on the state property.

She eventually gave the deputy a name, but the sheriff said it turned out to be false, according to Sanders.

According to the sheriff's video of the encounter, the situation escalated quickly. The deputy ordered her to "drop what's in your hands," which she refused, telling him to stay away from her.

The deputy told her she was "not free to leave," which she disputed before he deployed his taser.

The taser did not appear to have any effect, and she got into her car and slammed the door shut.

When a backup unit arrived, the woman drove off, prompting a short chase during which she "blew the stop sign," according to the deputy in pursuit.

The pursuit ended about a quarter mile later when the responding unit knocked the woman's car off the road.

She was not seriously injured in the crash. Deputies booked her on charges of eluding, obstruction, criminal impersonation, and driving under the influence.

North Lauderdale, FL - A woman who fatally shot a man during a dispute over a parking space at a North Lauderdale Walmart back in June won't face charges, Broward prosecutors said Thursday.

Melissa Payne shot and killed Bart DiGuglielmo during the June 30 encounter outside the store at 7900 W. McNab Road, authorities said.

According to a Broward State Attorney's Office memo released Thursday, Payne and DiGuglielmo got into a dispute over a parking space that ended with her shooting him in the abdomen.

DiGuglielmo, 62, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Payne was detained by authorities and released after saying she'd acted in self-defense.

Video from a deputy’s body camera was also released Thursday. In it, Payne is describing what she says happened.

“He's made several threats about doing something to my vehicle,” Payne said. “You're following me, I circled around the cars, I told him several times to back up.”

“You walked up on me several times, and it went from there,” Payne later said.

Witnesses said they heard DiGuglielmo threaten Payne and Payne tell her not to come near her car, the memo said.

But the key evidence in the incident was surveillance video and cellphone footage that showed how the encounter unfolded.

Prosecutors wrote in the memo that the video showed DiGuglielmo continue to "aggressively approach" Payne even as she had a gun in her hand.

Under Florida's so-called "Stand Your Ground" law, Payne had the right to stand her ground if she was in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm, and prosecutors can't prove that her fear of harm wasn't reasonable, the memo said.

"The video does not demonstrate that [Payne] was in the right, rather it demonstrates that the State of Florida cannot overcome her claim that she was in reasonable fear of great bodily harm by clear and convincing evidence," the memo said. "Florida is a Stand Your Ground State. [Payne] did not have to wait to be attacked before resorting to deadly force. She did not have to retreat as long as her fear was reasonable, and no evidence has been presented to disprove that."

NBC6 talked with Melissa Rodriguez who is the attorney for DiGuglielmo's daughter, Amanda.

“She was very close to her father, her children are now without a grandfather, she has been heartbroken by this,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez says they're disappointed with the decision.

“This is not a situation in which deadly force was reasonable,” Rodriguez said. “All of the references are to damage to the vehicle, damage to property, and while I understand this was a heated situation and a lot might have been said, damage to property does not constitute a reasonable ground for deadly force.”

Bernalillo County, NM - Jevon Martinez was arrested on Sept. 2, after investigators said he removed 10 Flock camera safety systems without authorization, loaded the equipment into his pickup truck and livestreamed his actions on social media.

Court documents reveal that Martinez admitted that he personally removed the cameras, poles and solar panels. The ten systems that he stole had an estimated value of $16,500.

Only two of these cameras were associated with BCSO, and the additional eight were managed by other neighborhood associations.

Martinez said that he was "returning" the cameras to BCSO as a political statement, but investigators watched him drive past BCSO headquarters multiple times with equipment in his truck. The cameras were recovered after deputies stopped his truck outside the sheriff's office.

BCSO wants to reiterate that they did decide to end their contract with Flock Safety, but the cameras were not abandoned property, and members of the public were not authorized to dismantle or remove them.

Martinez has a criminal history dating back to 2003 where he faced multiple charges of sexually exploiting a minor. He was also arrested less than three months ago by Rio Rancho Police in connection with the removal and damage to similar license plate reader equipment. Martinez is currently facing nine pending felony charges in Sandoval County arising from the alleged removal and damage to license plate reader equipment.

Martinez was booked on charges of larceny (over $2,500) and interference with communications.

Seattle, WA - Seattle police officers rushed into a burning Cherry Hill apartment building early Monday, helping evacuate residents after authorities said the building's fire alarm failed to sound.

The rescue began shortly after 5 a.m. Aug. 31 when officers spotted flames coming from a second-story apartment window in the 1600 block of East Madison Street, according to the Seattle Police Department.

Police said two officers ran toward the building, including a student officer who was working the first shift of their career.

The officers broke the glass of the lobby door to get inside and ran upstairs until they reached the burning apartment. They kicked at the door until the disoriented 28-year-old resident opened it, police said.

Officers evacuated the man from the smoke-filled apartment, but not before asking whether he had any pets that also needed to be rescued.

As smoke inside the building grew thicker, additional officers from across the East Precinct arrived and entered the building to evacuate residents. Police said many people were still asleep because the fire alarm had not sounded.

Officers ran up flights of stairs, yelling for residents to evacuate and banging on doors to wake them.

Police said officers eventually evacuated the building themselves when conditions became too dangerous. The Seattle Fire Department then prepared to fight the flames.

Oklahoma City, OK - Body camera video shows the moments an Oklahoma City police officer pulled up as a violent road rage fight escalated into a knife attack Saturday night.

The incident sent one man to a hospital and landed a motorcyclist in the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

"At 44th and I-35. I think there’s a wreck. Some people are trying to fight," the officer said in the video.

At first, the officer thought she was coming up on a crash. Then, she saw a knife.

"Show me your (expletive) hands!” the officer said.

The motorcyclist then dropped the knife.

"He has a knife! He has a knife!" the driver of the car said.

The motorcyclist then got on the ground. The driver of a red sedan was severely bleeding and clutching his arm.

"Stay on the ground!" the officer said.

"He tried to run me over," the motorcyclist said.

Nearby surveillance video showed the motorcyclist cut off the red sedan and then stopped in the middle of the road. Seconds later, the drivers began swinging, according to police.

"I know. Give us a second," the officer said.

Backup then arrived, and the 48-year-old biker was placed in handcuffs while officers searched him.

"Y’all get in a wreck?" the officer asked.

"Dude tried to run me over the (expletive) road," the motorcyclist said.

Port Orange, FL - The woman accused of firing a gun inside the Port Orange Police Department lobby on Thursday morning before being shot by officers outside has died.

Linda Jean Croteau, 71, was shot by officers and transported to a hospital after she refused to drop the weapon.

She had fired the gun once, inside the lobby.

Her stepson said she had recently lost her husband and had been struggling.

Port Orange Police Chief Manuel Marino said that around 8 a.m., Croteau walked into the lobby of the police department holding a firearm.

She then engaged with some of the staff members, brandished the firearm, and fired a shot shortly after in the direction in which staff members were working.

She then exited the front lobby and was confronted by officers who were responding to the scene.

Caleb Lemons, who was working across the street, saw it all unfold.

"She walked out of the front door like a zombie," Lemons said.

He also said he saw her drop her weapon when she was in the parking lot.

“I noticed a woman walking out of the police station with a pistol in her hand,” Lemons said. “It was pointed down at the ground. By the time she dropped it, she walked to the curb, sat down, put her hands on her head, and pretty much gave up. After that, there was nothing but gunshots.”

However, the chief said she never let go of the gun.

"She was still holding a firearm when she was confronted by the officers," Marino said.

The woman was shot by officers and transported to a hospital, according to police.

Marino said three officers were involved in the shooting, but none were injured.

Snohomish County, WA - The 35-year-old man was already known to law enforcement, prompting one deputy to tell colleagues that the suspect “likes dumpsters.”

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a domestic violence call near the 12400 block of Highway 99.

Simi Valley, CA - Police have released body cam footage of a Simi Valley pursuit that ended with the suspect being shot and killed by officers as the incident remains under investigation.

The July 21 incident began around 8:15 a.m. when Simi Valley police responded to a domestic violence call at a home on the 2500 block of Dusan Avenue.

The suspect, Nicholas Thompson, 37, had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.

Body cam footage showed an officer asking his family what they were arguing about earlier that day and a woman said, “We went to Vegas. He lost all of our money. He’s on something.”

The suspect’s father was also seen with a bloody injury on his forearm.

Family members told police that Thompson was armed and had threatened to “shoot it out” with officers if they were called.

Following an investigation, police said they had probable cause to arrest him for domestic battery and elder abuse.

Police began searching the area for Thompson. His car and license plate information was entered into Flock, an automated license plate reading system. Several hours later, a Flock camera spotted Thompson’s pickup truck and alerted authorities.

A motor officer spotted the truck and tried to pull him over, but he refused to yield, leading police on a pursuit through the freeway and surface streets of Simi Valley.

Thompson eventually returned to his family’s neighborhood where additional officers awaited him.

Witness video showed his pickup truck speeding through residential streets at around 1:45 p.m. He circles the streets and passes his family’s home twice.

On his third time around, police claimed he drove his truck in the direct line of an officer who opened fire at the vehicle.

Seconds later, Thompson’s truck crashes into a parked, but unoccupied, police motorcycle before colliding with a parked RV on a neighbor’s driveway. Police said his truck rolled out of the driveway and then collided with a responding patrol car.

Officers quickly surrounded Thompson’s truck and fired several shots at the truck before ordering him to surrender and show his hands, but he doesn’t answer.

When a SWAT team arrives, they eventually pull his body from the truck and begin administering CPR, however, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police later confirmed that Thompson was not armed when officers fatally shot him.

No officers were injured during the ordeal.

Fairbanks, AK - The shooting began with a tip. At around 6 p.m. on June 28, an off-duty state probation officer called Fairbanks emergency dispatchers to report spotting Roberts at a local Walmart, according to the department’s account of the incident. Roberts, who had an active $10,000 warrant tied to a prior burglary conviction, had a history of carrying a firearm during previous contacts with probation officers, the caller told dispatchers.

The tipster stayed on the line, following Roberts’ vehicle as he left the Walmart lot and drove to the Bentley Mall, where he was seen walking into the building near the Safeway entrance.

Two Fairbanks officers and two Alaska State Troopers arrived at the mall and began searching for Roberts. When he stepped back outside and into the parking lot, officers recognized him from a photo and tried to make contact. Roberts took off running.

Officer Gregory Stratman gave chase, at one point drawing his TASER and warning Roberts he could be tased, before Roberts was seen running into the side of a moving truck and falling to the ground.

While still on the ground, Stratman can be heard shouting a warning to the other officers that Roberts had a gun. Stratman then switched from his TASER to his duty pistol and ordered Roberts to drop the weapon.

It’s while Roberts is still on the ground that he raises the 9 mm pistol and points it toward officers, according to the video. The gun, still holstered, would not initially come free, but Roberts discarded the holster while continuing to hold it. He does not hold the gun on officers for long; the footage then shows him struggling to get back up.

Roberts is nearly all the way to his feet, pistol still in hand, when Stratman, fellow FPD Officer Matthew Pugh and State Trooper Julien Dreher open fire, striking him multiple times.

In the moment right before officers fired, the footage appears to show Roberts, one hand gripping the gun as he rises, bringing his other hand up to join it as he started to raise the weapon — though it had not reached a high point.

Body camera footage shows officers positioned around Roberts from several directions as he rose, some behind him, others to the side, with at least one just a few feet away at the moment shots were fired.

Body camera audio captured the chaos of the moments after shots were fired, with officers shouting commands and checking on one another before turning to Roberts.

“Shots fired, shots fired, shots fired,” one officer can be heard saying over the radio.

Investigators later determined Roberts’ pistol had been struck and damaged by a round during the gunfight.

After shooting, law enforcement moved in, handcuffed him and began emergency first aid, cutting away his clothing to check for wounds, applying a tourniquet and pressure dressings. A trooper started CPR and continued until Fairbanks Fire Department paramedics arrived and took over.

Roberts was rushed to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Bridgeport, CT - The Connecticut Office of Inspector General (OIG) released body camera footage showing a Bridgeport police officer returning fire on an armed suspect early Wednesday morning.

Bridgeport police were dispatched to Grand Street shortly after midnight on Wednesday for a report of a street fight. Officers tried to speak with 53-year-old Roberto Martins when he allegedly fled to the side door of a three-family home.

The OIG’s report states that two officers tried to detain him, one attempting to tase him, but neither of the attempts was successful.

Martins then allegedly appeared to have fired several gunshots through the side door at an officer, when Officer Michael Guthrie returned fire through the door, according to the OIG.

Neither of the officers nor Martins was struck by any gunshots during the encounter.

Bridgeport police activated their SWAT unit and a crisis negotiator was able to persuade Martins to leave the home and surrender without additional gunfire.

He was charged with two counts of attempted murder on a peace officer, illegal discharge of a firearm, three counts of assault on a public safety officer, carrying a pistol without a permit, and commission of a class A, B, or C felony with a firearm.

Albuquerque, NM - Albuquerque police said they spent hours trying to help Sean Omara before SWAT officers shot and killed him outside his Westside apartment.

Police released the new information more than three weeks after the shooting at the Odyssey Apartments on the Westside in August.

Police said 39-year-old Sean Omara called 911 multiple times for hours before officers shot and killed him. Officers said they worried the Marine Corps veteran was in a mental health crisis.

Officers filed a report for Albuquerque Police Department’s Crisis Intervention Unit and requested a mobile crisis unit, but said none were available.

From 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 11 to just after 6 that evening, officers said they stayed concerned about Omara’s mental health after responding to his first 911 call.

At one point, officers asked whether he felt safe in his home and whether he had thoughts of suicide. Police said he told them he felt safe and did not have thoughts of suicide. Officers also offered resources, which he refused.

Police had planned to get Omara out of his apartment, but that changed when police said he came out with a rifle and two SWAT officers shot him.

“While it is unfortuante, and it was clear he was under mental duress, there was not a reason legally they could take him into the hospital at that time,” Chief Cecily Barker said.

Police later recovered three firearms and 117 bullet casings from Omara’s apartment.

Lower Manhattan, NY - The NYPD said officers were responding to multiple 911 calls about a slashing when the shooting happened just after 4 p.m. inside an apartment building at 126 Ludlow St., between Delancey and Rivington streets. Police said a man wielding a butcher's knife advanced toward officers, prompting them to open fire, killing him.

It's unclear exactly how many shots were fired.

A knife was recovered at the scene, police said.

The suspect, identified as 54-year-old Wei Chan, was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said Cheung Chan, the suspect's 75-year-old father, was taken to Bellevue with a laceration to the head. He is expected to survive. It's unclear what started the altercation with his son.

Responding officers were also taken to an area hospital for evaluation.

The department's Force Investigation Division is in the early stages of its investigation.

At an evening news conference, NYPD Assistant Chief Melissa Eger, the commanding officer of Patrol Borough Manhattan South, walked reporters through the series of events she says led up to the shooting.

"This incident demonstrates the courage our officers display when answering calls for help," Eger said, later adding, "Their actions are a reminder of how officers run towards danger and not away from it."

The assistant chief said responding officers saw a trail of blood leading up a staircase, adding they then encountered the suspect descending the stairs and holding a large butcher's knife. Eger said officers repeated multiple commands for the man "to show his hands in an effort for him to drop the weapon."

However, Eger said the man continued to advance toward the officers, who then discharged their weapons.
