- [Officer] Happy Fourth.

[fireworks exploding] [people cheering]

- I have a witness.

Hi, mom.

- Sit down!

- Police. If you're in here, make yourself known.

- [Officer] Oh man. Looks like you struck a deer.

- [Driver] We did.

- This puppy is under arrest. [puppy whimpering]

[dog barking] [indistinct yelling]

- I gotta ask. Why's your zipper down?

- How you doing?

- You need to have compassion.

You need to understand where people are coming from.

- Thank you for not being a jerk.

- Now it's a party.

[rock music]

[fireworks explode]

[sirens wail] [tense music]

[sirens wailing] [suspenseful music]

One female attempting to fight men and women.

Looks like the female is on a motorcycle outside.

- 7-04, Miller. I'll be out with that motorcycle.

- [Radio] 7-04.

- [Harvey] Ma'am, come over here.

Come here, come here.

- [Harvey] Come over here, please.

What just happened down there at the bar?

- Stop. Let me--

[radio chatter]

- Ma'am, stop opening--

You cannot...

Okay.

- Why? Why?

Why are you doing this?

- Stop. No, you're not. You're taking a shot.

Put your hands behind your back.

- Yeah, no, because you're, stop.

- [Harvey] Stop. Where is your ID?

- I'm not talking no (bleep),

you're the one out here doing dumb (bleep).

- Can you just, I won't--

- What's your last name? Spell it for me.

Why are you making this difficult?

- 'Cause I'm irritated. I didn't do (bleep) anything.

- Okay, you didn't even have to be in handcuffs,

but when I asked for your ID

and then you think that you deserved to take a shot?

- I'm really trying to avoid taking her to jail,

but she is, she is picking her own battle right now.

- Oh my God.

- You're not helping your innocence right now,

if you did not do anything. - No, but, it's not,

I was doing nothing but (bleep) playing pool.

That's all I was doing.

- That's not what I'm being told.

- I want your ID. - I, I...

- I want you to identify yourself.

- I asked you what your last name was. Did I not?

- What's your first name?

- Okay. - Yeah, I--

- What's your date of birth? - Nine, (bleep).

- What is it?

- I just told you, (bleep). - What is it?

- I'm trying to see if she gave me--

- No you don't. You walk your ass (bleep)

up and down that street and you say, I,

I see anybody who want to press (bleep) charges.

Then y'all say no.

That's exactly what the (bleep) y'all do, Mr. Officer.

- (bleep) stop!

- You're done, you're going to jail. Get in there, go.

- (bleep) you. (bleep) you, dude.

I was trying to explain to you what the (bleep) happened.

- No, you're not! - Yes, I waaas!

- You've been uncooperative this entire time.

Miller, she's now 10-15.

- [Dispatch] Copy that.

- I'm sorry. I tried, tried, tried, tried.

- Well, you dodged a bullet on that one, my friend.

- So what all transpired down there?

'cause we got a call--

- Was it physical?

- Alright. Okay. Well, she's going to jail.

- Did we get him identified?

Let's get your phone number in case we need anything.

So we need to go down and see if we got any of the, uh,

victims that wanna press charges on the assault.

Right now, we've got disorderly conduct, open container.

She's uncooperative. So, we tried and tried and tried

to end this peacefully.

She's not one to cooperate, so.

- I asked her for her ID and instead of getting her ID,

she decided to get a shot bottle

and consume a quick shot instead of getting her ID, so.

- (bleep).

[laughs]

- You took a shot right in front of me.

When I asked for your ID, you pulled out a Fireball.

You can't act like this without any consequences, (bleep).

- I would've much rather have let you go

on the back of that motorcycle.

- Okay, but you were not cooperating

and then you wanted to take a shot instead of--

- Alright, good luck to you.

Get her to the hospital.

- With the level of her intoxication,

I'm gonna take her to the hospital,

make sure she's okay to go to jail.

We're gonna put her on a 12 hour hold

and then I'm gonna write her a couple citations.

- We weren't able to make contact with the victims

to get their side of the story,

but without the victim, we can't pursue assault charges

or anything right now.

Apparently they met on Tinder,

so maybe he should have swiped left instead of right.

[rock music]

- Today is Aquapalooza.

That's over on the other side of the lake in Sunrise Beach,

it's about 15 miles away from us.

It draws a large crowd.

It's a highly anticipated event and it comes around every year.

- [Announcer] What a beautiful day for Aquapalooza!

Let's rave! [crowd cheering]

- [Boren] Chief Craig and those guys over there

have their hands full with this event.

You know, we're both small departments

so if we can help each other out for these events, we try.

- [Announcer] All that lineup of boats out there,

let's hear it for the boats.

[crowd cheering] [rock music]

- So Aquapalooza is just, it's a really fun concert.

They're, they've got I think three or four bands.

They come in, you can see they tie up their boats.

So right now, it's just making laps

so people see that we're here.

At these events, the goal is just safety.

Make sure everybody's safe,

make sure everybody's having a good time.

We try to interject

if it starts looking like something's gonna go sideways,

you know, take care of it when it's a small problem

before it gets to be a big problem.

We're a small department.

We hope and pray that,

that nothing pops off with the limited numbers.

But that's why we're so vigilant on walking around,

being seen interacting with people is,

if there's only a couple of us, we want to make it look like

there's 30 of us walking around.

- No, in all this, it's like 120 degrees. [laughs]

- The longer we're out here, the more shenanigans we'll see.

[crowd cheering]

- We'll have a few of them that end up

on the Strip later tonight, and so we have to be prepared

for some intoxicated folks coming over

from one party to another party.

We'll have to be ready.

[rock music] [crowd cheering]

[tense music]

- It was Aquapalooza today,

so everybody's been out on the boats, enjoying the water.

So now that's gonna trickle into getting Uber rides

and coming on the Strip to continue partaking in drinking

and live music.

They've already reached the limit

and now they're coming here at 9:30, 10:00,

and common sense goes right out the window.

[energetic music]

- Woo!

- Summer's on the move and we're already in mid July.

You know, once the season starts here,

it's like it just keeps rolling on.

[truck honks]

- Montgomery, come with us, you two together.

- Get outta the road.

Watch out, watch out!

- Slow down!

[tense music]

- Your ID is fake.

- So you thought it'd be a good idea to come out here

and risk their liquor license?

- No, clearly you did. You tried getting in.

Is this your real name?

- [Girl] Yes.

- She has a fake ID. She owned up to it,

but she had no remorse at,

for putting that business's liquor license in jeopardy.

Some officers will just give a warning.

I'm writing her for it.

- What we're trying to do is start cracking down

on some of these fake IDs around here.

At the end of the day, we get a lot of 18 and 19 year olds

come out here passing these fake IDs.

We probably have already this summer,

a couple of hundred that we've taken off the streets.

Trying to curb some of that, you know.

- What we're seeing this year is a lot more cooperation

from the bars helping us with this effort.

- When they find these people with fake IDs,

they're doing a lot better job this year,

calling us over and letting us know that they have one.

- Typical weekend. Fake IDs.

- You know, this isn't a place for 18, 19 year olds

to come down here and drink all night.

It's just not safe.

[tense music]

- Dadgum, there's deer everywhere.

[siren wailing]

- Our sergeant is already out there.

He advised that there are flames showing,

so we're gonna try to get there fairly quickly.

9-16 to 9-29, I'm approaching case currently.

[intense music] [firetruck horn blares]

- [Carson] Okay, so fire's on scene.

- [Dispatch] 9-11, 23 to 120 mile marker, 2205.

- So we wanna keep the road open as much as we can

to keep traffic from backing up.

Once you get traffic backed up, that's when accidents happen.

Okay.

We're cleared to open up the ramp.

9-16 and 9-29, have you made contact with the RPs

and do we know if there's a tow en route?

- Copy. I'll go meet with them.

How are you guys holding up?

- Pretty shaken up, huh? How scary.

- Are you alright, ma'am?

- Do you guys need us to call a tow, get them en route?

- Um, I can also call like an Uber

or something like that and get them en route.

- Don't have any money? Okay.

- Oh, bless your guys' hearts.

- Yeah.

- Just in a rut.

- We'll try to figure it out another way, okay?

Come on, guys.

Who was driving at the time?

- You were?

- We've been having transmission problems.

It was, like, revving high RPMs and you know,

for a little bit, and I was just kind of,

getting money for gas doing DoorDash,

trying to get out of here in Missouri

and on the last DoorDash of the night

before we headed back home,

the transmission exploded and started smoking

and caught on fire.

- Get what you need out of there.

We'll go from there, okay?

So right now he's trying to retrieve

any of his personal belongings

that didn't get singed up, 'cause it's gonna get towed.

They're gonna have to go and stay somewhere tonight

'cause they have no way back to Kansas.

So he's trying to get whatever they need.

[pensive music]

The car's gonna be replaceable, you guys,

you and your pups aren't, so.

- So it looks like pretty much everything that's

inside of it's pretty salvageable.

- They don't have any finances.

They just paid rent and got kicked out of their place.

- See if dispatch will start calling hotels for us.

- Okay. 9-16 OB.

- [Dispatch] 9-16.

- Can you start calling local hotels

and see if any have any availabilities

that would accommodate three medium sized dogs?

- [Dispatch] 10-4.

- Okay, so right now we're going to see

if we can help find a hotel for these guys for the night.

- [Radio] 29-OB, can you start with Days Inn please?

- We've got a few local churches

that will help out sometimes in situations like this

so we're gonna try to call around and see what we can do.

See if we can help them out,

find something for them for the night.

[tense music]

- So I'm not sure if Sarge told you guys

but we were able to contact Days Inn up the road

and they offered to give you guys a room for free

for the night.

So you guys have somewhere to stay, yeah.

- Yeah, I'm just glad you guys have somewhere safe

and these guys can, are more than welcome there too, so.

You guys will have somewhere nice and cozy tonight.

- [Carson] I wish you guys the best of luck.

[dog barks]

- It's nice to know that we live in a community

that supports people and cares about them as much as we do.

[rock music]

- So, white in color, Pontiac G6.

That's kind of odd that they open their door right there.

We don't see that a lot unless

they want to distract us from what's inside that vehicle.

Hey, is there a reason you just opened your door like that?

- Okay. Well, not right now, you're not, okay?

I have you stopped because of improper use of a turn lane.

You cannot use that turn lane like that, okay?

You have a driver's license and insurance, ma'am?

Do you have anything in your, illegal in your vehicle?

Anything you're not supposed to have?

Any drugs, weapons, or anything like that?

No? Do you mind if I search your vehicle?

- Well that's legal. It's just a little bit of weed,

I get that. - Yeah, I don't mind that.

- That's legal.

7-12 Miller County. I'll be on a consent search.

- That top that is in the Ross bag.

- That is cute!

- Bummer.

- There's that for you.

I'm just gonna give you a warning for that.

I really appreciate your cooperation.

Thank you so much, ma'am.

- I'm good to stay here for now?

- Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am, you are. Have a good day.

So she was very cooperative, which is nice.

We don't always get a lot of that.

It's just, she's going to go ride golf carts now.

It's a good day. It's a good day for sure.

[relaxed music]

[radio beeps] - Go ahead.

- 10-3, passing Casey's now.

[tense music]

- [Dispatch] Not seeing a lein on the vehicle either.

- The guy's coming back on probation and parole for drugs,

and he's wondering if the car's stolen.

What's up, dude?

- What's going on, (bleep)? How are you?

- Good.

- Okay.

- Have fun.

- [Khachi] What are you on P and P for?

- Drugs.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- [Khachi] That's progress, that's good progress.

- That's exciting. - Yeah.

- [Glascock] (bleep).

[suspenseful music]

- This was over here in the passenger side.

Go ahead. - Okay, uh.

What, what do you use these for at work?

- Okay. You think that could be sugar or something?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- So there's this white crystal substance in here,

but due to his past, I'm just gonna check it

just to be sure.

It's just a Nartec field tester,

you just simply touch it to the suspected substance

and crack the ampule and it'll,

it'll indicate blue if it's positive

for the presence of methamphetamine,

which he has indicated that that was his drug of choice.

- How long you been on PP?

[suspenseful music]

- It did not turn blue,

so it's negative for methamphetamine.

So his story checks out.

I didn't find anything in the vehicle

that would be indicative of methamphetamine use,

such as torches or tooter scrolls

or pipes or anything like that.

So we're just gonna get him out here with a verbal warning

for not having a rear plate on his vehicle

and we'll be on to the next one.

I appreciate your cooperation.

- Verbal warning for no, no rear plate.

- I'll get it.

- [Glascock] I'm gonna go shut your passenger door for you

and you're, you're free to go man.

- Alright, thank you sir.

I find it humorous

after all I've done in the past, being pulled over,

you know, at times in St. Louis, I would've ran from the cops.

But you know, now sober with a daughter to go home to

and a full life.

This has gotta look good on my probation,

got pulled over and nothing found on me.

- [Khachi] Take it easy. Stay strong, man.

- Oh, yes sir.

- [Khachi] Keep with it.

I was a little worried when he found that glove.

I mean, that's a common thing.

It was like, oh yeah, I'm, I'm clean.

Then they find it and it's like, but he seems good.

[water splashing] [rock music]

- My grandma, she's always been, like, a super supportive,

positive role model.

She's traveled the world.

She worked on a military base when she was younger

and just did the jobs that,

in that time era were not really common for females.

She also is one of the people who got me into, like,

wanting to shoot guns and stuff like that.

Because she's kind of a dead eye.

She's a super, super good shot.

So she's super supportive.

My kids are super supportive.

They love telling people that

their mommy and their daddy are a cop.

I've got six of them, two boys, four girls, from 2 to 16.

They're own little police in their own ways.

They like to make sure everybody's doing

the right thing and they like to help people.

We'll go down 42, see how busy the bar is.

This will be the first time I've gone down 42

since last week, so, a little nerve wracking.

Around 2:00 I had gotten behind a black truck.

He was swerving multiple times out of his lane.

9-16 OB traffic.

I turned on my lights to get him to pull over.

He went down a little further and pulled off

on the side of the road.

We were partially still in the road

but I did have my emergency lights on.

Hey, how's it going?

So the reason I stopped you

is 'cause you were swerving pretty good back there, man.

He informed me that it's his dad's truck.

This is the first time that he had driven the truck,

and right as he's saying this,

I observed something from my peripheral vision.

[tires screeching]

[siren wails]

Car collided into the back of my car.

It pushed both my vehicle and his vehicle.

His vehicle struck me on the right side.

Luckily just soreness and nothing too crazy.

9-16 OB, there's a wreck right here.

Ran over to where the female who struck my vehicle was.

When I got to the car, her foot was still on the gas pedal.

Hey, stop!

[engine revving] Hey, no.

[radio chatter]

- [Carson] Hey. Stop, stop.

I instantly smelled intoxicants.

- [OnStar] Phone will trigger emergency SOS--

- [Carson] The female smashed my car.

Okay, I need a driver's license and your insurance.

[OnStar alarm blares]

You guys didn't see the flashing lights right here?

- [Carson] I don't believe so.

- I have the driver license.

- [Carson] Have you guys been drinking, or,

what have you been doing?

- [Carson] Alright, go ahead and turn the vehicle off

and get out.

- [Morley] 29 to 16.

- [Carson] Go ahead.

[radio beeps] - [Carson] Okay.

So, highway patrol...

- Please.

- [Carson] Hey, highway patrol is gonna work it, so.

- [Driver] Stop, hang on.

- [Carson] Hey, man, she hit the cops.

She doesn't have a choice.

- [Carson] Yeah, I think everybody's okay.

- No, we're fine.

[radio chatter]

- [Driver] Are you okay?

- [Carson] Yes, you almost killed me.

- [Driver] (bleep), are you okay?

- [Carson] Yes, I'm good.

You should not be driving when you're intoxicated like this.

Okay?

So, we have highway patrol en route currently

and they'll work the accident.

Would you be willing to blow in a PBT?

- [Morley] You were stopping the truck, right?

- Yes, I was at his window.

- [Carson] I ended up knowing the girl

and so that kind of made it harder

because, you know, wrecking ups the charge,

but also striking an officer ups the charge.

The fact that she blew well over double the legal limit,

and then the fact that there's a 17-year-old

in the vehicle with her with no seatbelt

doesn't help anything.

So it was just, like, one thing after another.

And I almost had guilt

because I'm like, this is a young adult.

She's got her whole life to live.

Are you guys okay? Shook up?

- Thank you, again.

- [Carson] Huh?

- [Carson] Yeah, I was-- I saw you coming in time to run, so.

I was in disarray.

Like I, my disbelief,

I'm gonna give it to God.

As in, God just directed me in what I needed to do

and helped me to get where I could still be a mom

for my kids.

Any other choice that I would've made out there,

I would've not, I wouldn't have made it.

If I would've backed up to try to run across the street,

she would've most definitely hit me.

So the only option was to run in front.

Didn't think at all about it.

There was no thought process at all.

I was just like, my kids.

Okay, so the initial impact is gonna be

the front of the vehicle right here,

which struck the back of my patrol vehicle

on the driver's back side.

There was no braking at all.

She could have killed me.

She could have killed the guy I had stopped,

which, thank God, he was unharmed.

Sarge asked me,

"Does it make you rethink your driver's side approach?"

Because obviously it would be safer for me

if I was on the passenger side.

However, at the driver's side,

I'm able to smell if there's intoxicants.

I'm closer, I'm able to observe better.

I'm able to see their eyes and their hand movements

and things like that.

So I'm still gonna go to the driver's side.

I hope and pray that God watches over me

while I'm at it every single time.

This is the job and I, I am proud of the job that I do.

[tense music]

[sirens blare]

[intense music]

[explosion booms]

- Right now, we don't know what happened.

When we were dispatched, we were just told that

it was a vehicle, and or a hot tub explosion of some sort.

- Sergeant Kordula is talking with

a couple of the witnesses on scene

to see if they can give us some more information

about what happened.

- Well, talking to witnesses, when they saw the fire,

they saw a female running up the street.

- If I do find, hey, if I do find her, I'll probably...

We'll figure it out.

But we're probably gonna need a cage car.

Apparently she's been staying here for a few days.

- So Corporal Harvey found her roadside,

got burns all over her body.

I'm gonna head over there.

[intense music]

- So, Corporal Harvey found her roadside.

She's completely naked, got burns all over her body.

We've got a helicopter inbound to life flight her,

and right now we're gonna go secure the landing zone

down here, so.

- Alright.

[siren wails]

7-07 Miller County, we'll be out at the landing zone.

- Before staging the area,

make sure we don't get any spectators or anything in.

We went through and shut off all the emergency lights.

As the helicopters land,

and when it's flashing lights and everything,

it's kind of, kind of blinds them.

So we kill as much lights as we can

so the fire department can do their landing zone,

get the helicopter in, get the patient carried over

and get them the best care that they need.

I mean, she's got first, second, third degree burns,

80% of her body.

Good news is, she was alert, she was talking.

So medics are in there working on her.

But all they can say is right now is she is critical, so.

[solemn music]

What's that? - That's gas.

- Is it really? - Yeah.

- We just left the landing zone where that patient was

transported by Medivac to a burn unit in Columbia.

The patient did indicate to Corporal Harvey that

it could have been a self-inflicted incident.

However, we're just gonna kind of do our due diligence

and canvass the area, see if we can find any other evidence.

[solemn music]

[tense music]

- We're definitely gonna try to catch up to this guy,

'cause he just came out of his lane

and he's swerving within his lane.

See, as the lights flicker brights to dims.

We're definitely gonna stop this guy.

9-16 OB. I have a 28 I believe, possibly out of Illinois.

[siren blips]

This is kind of a, not so safe area to do this.

Hi, how are you guys?

- Good. So the reason I stopped you is,

you were having a hard time staying in your lane, man.

- You were talking?

- Gotcha, okay.

Do you have your driver's license and your insurance?

- [Carson] This is kind of a unsafe area where we're stopped.

- [Carson] So I'm gonna have you put your car in park

and come hang out with me in my passenger seat

for a minute, okay?

- [Carson] Okay, just go to the passenger side

of my vehicle.

Okay. I don't like anybody to be kind of caught off guard,

I like you to know what's going on,

and just have the what-for from the beginning.

- Mm-hmm. - At your vehicle,

I can smell pretty strong odor of intoxicants.

That's why I asked you to come sit in the car with me.

- That's correct.

- You've got redness to your eyes.

Your eyes are glassy and watery.

These are things that coexist with alcohol. Okay?

We're gonna do fields to make sure you're not impaired.

If you're not impaired, you'll be going on

with your business, doing what you need to do, okay?

...hit by a car or anybody to hit us.

- You're not doing the fields? Oh, okay.

Then I'm gonna have you step out

and place you under arrest, okay?

- Okay.

- We'll deal with that. Get out.

9-16. I'll be 10-50 with my male.

Go ahead and place your hands on the car.

Do you have any weapons on you?

- Okay. Place your hands behind your back.

I'll have you spread your legs for me.

Hey, will you search?

- [Carson] I asked for fields. He denied, so.

[tense music]

- Can you get Hi-Tech en route to my location please?

- [Carson] So, standing at the door on the driver's side,

it's a little nerve wracking,

considering the other day when I did get hit.

So I was very hesitant, I kept watching over my shoulder.

I was a little more observant of

the vehicles that were passing by

and my heartbeat kind of picked up a little bit,

but it's part of the job so it's,

it's gonna be there regardless.

But it definitely was a little nerve wracking.

[tense music]
