26:01
00:00:00
when criminals are confronted by cops most usually surrender and give themselves up but some criminals prefer
00:00:06
to try and run from police but unfortunately for them it rarely ends well here are three insane cases where
00:00:12
criminals thought Escape was an option in May of 2021 30 year old Josie a man allegedly followed a child in a Walmart
00:00:21
and assaulted her when he saw the opportunity after the attack the child immediately told her mother who went on
00:00:28
to confront the attacker Josie fled the scene five months later cops are called to Josie's day job to try and confront
00:00:34
the suspected criminal is this the name Josie ring a bell yes is he here okay I got talked to him when Josie arrives
00:00:44
he immediately appears uncomfortable in may we got a complaint from a parent and
00:00:50
a young girl anything ring a bell to that okay have you ever been at the Walmart where you
00:01:00
got chased out of the store no no Okay so we've we've got video of you getting chased out of Walmart by a mom huh
00:01:11
okay I I do is wide static stance may suggest tension and he seems to be keeping his facial expression as neutral
00:01:19
as possible predictably Josie denies all knowledge of this incident watch how he
00:01:23
reacts when he's shown some hard evidence would you agree that this is you why not no is that something you've ever
00:01:40
driven no I don't remember top around my truck you don't think that resembles you in
00:01:45
the slightest Josie manages to keep his expression relatively neutral even when looking at
00:01:53
a picture of himself at the crime scene however when the purchase at a subway is
00:01:57
mentioned there's an obvious change in his body language he begins to Blink rapidly which can be an indicator of
00:02:03
stress or dishonesty it does attempt to act surprised when the officer brings up
00:02:08
that someone had used his debit card in the store but the cop doesn't buy it for
00:02:13
a second oh okay so we reviewed video and watched the suspect of this whole thing prior to this incident with the
00:02:21
juvenile was inside Subway bought a sub sandwich huh no okay turn around put your hands
00:02:29
around your back Dominic you got taser you stop stop all right Josie was charged with the first degree
00:03:06
sexual assault of a girl under the age of 13 and a misdemeanor charge for resisting an officer he is currently
00:03:12
awaiting trial but not all criminals run because they're faced with hard evidence
00:03:16
some just make very dumb decisions this was the case for Jason Massey Massey is a passenger in his friend's car and
00:03:23
they're pulled over for speeding the stop seems normal initially with the driver giving a good reason for being
00:03:28
above the speed limit and handing over his license willingly I'm officer Miller reason with the traffic stops the speed
00:03:35
any reason for the speed well I'm trying okay do you have a driver's license on you
00:03:47
[Music] thank you any weapons at all in the car or no okay Things become more suspicious when
00:03:56
dispatch lets the officer on the scene know that the license plates don't match the car the cop has already smelled the
00:04:03
scent of marijuana and the plates are a big red flag so he calls for assistance once they have backup they coordinate
00:04:10
their approach when they reach the vehicle pay extra attention to Massey who's in the front of the car passenger
00:04:15
side how's it going you guys get IDs on you you have an idea any partner you don't what's your name
00:04:27
I just said you're not driving can I get you a step out real quick I'll explain everything to you okay
00:04:44
what's your last name partner all right man um just gonna put you in handcuffs real quick you're not under arrest okay
00:04:50
you're not you're not under it don't resist me don't resist me man well once again the driver is complying Massey has
00:04:57
a defensive reaction to the police officer speaking to him he immediately says that he's not the driver attempts
00:05:03
to deflect like this usually suggests a person is hiding something the cop tries
00:05:09
to reassure Massey that things are fine and that he doesn't have to be scared but Mazzy still seems nervous while the
00:05:15
driver is being searched the cop asks Massey his name unfortunately for Massey he makes a very dumb mistake all right
00:05:23
what's your last name Nicholson all right you said Mickelson now you're saying make a sentence spell it out for me
00:05:49
all right last time you didn't say oh I didn't know you're lying I already know your line
00:05:56
hey he's trying to run hey he's taking off he's taking off passengers hopped in the driver's seat
00:06:06
he's taking off having spelled his own fake name wrong Massey is on the run with the third
00:06:22
occupant of the car still on the back seat what might not be clear from the footage is that Massey is hit with a
00:06:27
taser as he speeds away the car doesn't get him far as during the pursuit Massey
00:06:32
hits a vehicle in a gas station parking lot the driver of that vehicle is unharmed but because of the Collision
00:06:38
Massey chooses to abandon the car and flee on foot pay attention to his path through the bushes it'll be important
00:06:44
soon [Music] [Music] down the west side maybe I'm strong please the cop exits his vehicle and aims his
00:07:32
firearm at Massey who gives up his attempts to escape when Nancy mentions that he has asthma this particular
00:07:38
officer's response is unprofessional hey [Applause] get on the ground put James behind your back
00:07:59
I don't care most of the time that Massey is on the ground he appears to be in pain in this case his discomfort
00:08:06
seems genuine as he makes no further attempts to run taser probes can be seen in Massey's arm fired into the car when
00:08:13
he's sped away an officer comes to check Massey's condition while another searches his bag the bag contains
00:08:19
marijuana and live ammunition Frog's got the driver detained in her Squad you're over here yeah
00:08:37
all right man why did you do that um I tried to take him when he took off hey I told you to calm down
00:09:03
and look what you did you got yourself a more trouble all over a little bit of weed
00:09:09
suspect Vehicles they're so bad all right you got any weapons on you are you injured at all
00:09:24

00:10:12
cops his real name an officer asks Massey why he would run away when the situation was calm
00:10:17
[Music] he's an ID anywhere [Music] anywhere Jason Massey what's your last name spell it out for

00:10:58

[Music] out of Racine County Sheriff it was entered on 9 7 of 2021. he does come
00:11:33
back with a Racine address with the 20316 boulevard during a search of the area police found
00:11:42
a firearm in the bushes that Massey had passed through on foot while the driver only received citations and the female
00:11:48
passenger denied all knowledge and was released things were much worse for Massey Massey pled guilty to fleeing and
00:11:55
eluding an officer hit and run carrying a concealed weapon and one count of Bale
00:11:59
jumping he was sentenced to three and a half years in jail and will serve an additional four years for the armed
00:12:05
robbery Massey may have made an idiotic mistake but this next suspect makes him look like a genius by comparison the
00:12:12
next suspect is 30 year old criminal Anthony T Gaines but what he doesn't realize is that these officers already
00:12:18
know who he is what happens next might be the strangest encounter ever caught on a body cam
00:12:29
so when I call him later short so it actually didn't let you in the charge it no it's right there on the
00:12:37
outside of the house oh so you left it there so that's right here I didn't go that

00:13:05
children side of the house I stand right there neighbors moving across the street so it's sitting
00:13:10
California where I can see the angle you got these loud little [ __ ] ass dollars

00:13:56
but let me get him a call and see what's okay while gains may seem relaxed gains is
00:14:02
overly familiar Behavior can be a Telltale sign that he has something to hide the cops present are already aware
00:14:09
that there's a warrant out for his arrest they make their move hey come here real quick step out step
00:14:15
out yeah I should just say it man I'll put the detain you right now you're not you're not arrested you're not being

00:14:35
I didn't lock those he's not arrested he's just been detained until we hey let me grab this
00:14:44
phone with gainscuffed one officer searches him and retrieves what looks to be the case for a ring from his pocket
00:14:51
the other officer opens it and finds incriminating evidence inside Gaines tries to play dumb but the LIE is
00:14:57
obviously where's your money at in your book bag yeah real quick you opened this already
00:15:12
what's up okay yeah you know you know what it is you know what it is in your pocket man
00:15:19
this want to know Gaines makes the questionable decision to make a run for it while cuffed the
00:15:28
rest of this encounter is nothing short of insanity foreign let's go let's go for context this
00:16:13
arrest happened after the death of George Floyd and the black lives matter protests as the officer mentions this
00:16:19
wasn't his first time seeing this kind of behavior which suggests that the offenders were trying to use the
00:16:25
politically charged climate to their advantage too Gaines tries to pull this stunt for more than 30 minutes but the
00:16:30
ACT breaks for a moment when the arresting officer has a laugh at his expense all right so you got three charges now
00:16:39
okay around you act like you're gonna pass out all you want I've seen this before
00:16:54
