With the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law.
-Deputy erika delgado: Uh, I always wanted to be a deputy.
Ever since I was little.
I was in the explorer program.
And then my mom worked
For a san bernardino county sheriff's department.
So she would book people in.
She was a booking officer.
So my plan was when I turned 21,
I would go on the street on patrol
And arrest them and then she would book them into jail.
(police radio chatter)
-I just got dispatched to a call
Of shots fired at a medical clinic.
(police radio chatter)
-Where did he go? Where did he go? Where did he go?
-Huh? -Do you know which way he went?
-Well, if he came from this way,
I'm pretty sure he went that way. -That way?
And he was wearing all black.
-I don't know. -Man: Boss is that way.
-Uh, I need your help.
I need you to help me figure out...
-I need a paramedic to see him first. Can we do that?
-Did someone get shot? -Yes. My boss is shot.
(dispatch speaking on phone)
-Yes, it's the sheriff's. -Can you open this?
-(dispatch speaking on phone) -door, door, door!
-What was that?
(chattering)
Yeah, he was shot, I think through his shoulder.
Yeah, he's doing good.
-Where's he shot at?
-What's the description on the guy?
-Uh, he was a young-- he was a black gentleman.
-Black? Was he wearing black?
Was he wearing...
Did anybody get a good description on what he was
Wearing? -Did anybody see him?
-No. -I just seen it like a black hoodie.
He's like light-skinned a little bit.
-They said it's a bma in a black hoodie.
No further description. They're uncooperative.
(indistinct chatter)
-Just keep pressure on that, okay?
Where is it? In the back?
-Right here where my hand is. Yeah.
-Okay.
-You're good, john. Keep talking to me.
How you doing? You looking sexy.
-What's your name? -John senior.
-Huh? -John senior.
-John senior? Are you security here?
-Yes, ma'am. -How old are you?
-44. -You're 44?
-You'll be okay. Okay?
Medical's right here down the street.
-Yes, ma'am. -Is it above it?
-Hold on. -You good, john? Keep talking.
-There you go. Let me get his shirt.
-How long have you been working here for?
-Four years. -Four years?
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay. Four years is a long time.
-Yeah. -Did you see other sheriffs?
-Did you guys see anything? -No.
-I didn't see it coming. He was behind a patient.
-Okay. Okay. -(indistinct)
-Not much as this. -It's okay, john.
-It's okay. You'll be all right.
-I think we called your wife already.
-Oh no, you shouldn't have done that.
-We have to. She's gangsta.
-What? Can one of you guys pull the dvr?
Is that what you guys are doing?
-(indistinct) -who can get it?
-I'll see, I'll try to see what I can do.
-All right, man, just relax. You good?
-Uh... -You breathing okay?
-Trying to breathe, man. -Can you breathe?
-Yeah. I'm just a little shook up, you know?
-Where were you at when you were shot?
-At the desk. Signing in... -At the desk right there?
-Signing in patients. Yeah.
-Okay.
Did he shoot through the window or what?
-Mm-hmm. Through the plexiglass.
-Do you know who he is?
-Nah, he was a first-timer.
-What'd he say?
-Hmm, nothing. He was, uh, was, uh
Confrontation at first.
He came in, he wanted me to do something for him
And I was like, "nah."
-What did he want you to do?
-He wanted me to ask a patient here to get him something.
Told him, "nah, you gotta wait your turn, man."
You know what I mean?
He doesn't like that.
So, uh, I kicked him out.
-Was that them?
-Yeah.
-He dropped his id in front of the business.
-Yeah, that's him. -Another sheriff had it.
You want me to give it back to the cop who had it? -That's him?
-That's him. -That's him.
Let me go tell the other sheriff.
-That is him. All right.
-You'll be okay. Okay?
-Did he get shot in the side?
-He's been grazed here.
-Hey, did you shoot back? -Negative.
-No shots fired? What about the other security guard?
-Nope. -So he's shot in and then he ran out.
-Mm-hmm.
-Arnold, let see that real quick.
Okay. When he came in
Was he like yelling at you guys or anything?
Or he just... -Uh, nah, I didn't hear.
-How many shots did you hear?
-I've heard like 9 to 12.
-Nine to 12? Okay.
-The bullet, bullets were shooting everywhere.
We were yelling for everyone to get down.
All the customers jumped down, my employees jumped down
And then pretty much, not even a minute,
I just hear my boss saying like,
"hey, I got hit, I got hit."
-So he came earlier today? -Yeah.
Couple hours ago he came in.
He was giving my boss a hard time
At the window 'cause he had a baby crying in the car.
-Is your boss john?
-Yeah. -Okay.
-And then, uh, he came in
And he was just like, "hey, bring me out my stuff."
And then my boss told him like,
"hey this is a medical clinic. We can't do that.
You need to come in here, sign in as a patient."
He had his baby in the car crying.
He, he made a big deal about that
'cause we wouldn't bring him meds outside.
-Mm-hmm.
-He made like threats like,
"oh you, uh, you guys don't run this (bleep).
You guys don't run this street."
Um, "you should have brought me out my buds (bleep)."
Like some threats like that.
He didn't say anything like,
"oh, I'm gonna come back with a gun" or anything.
And, uh, we made him leave.
We bounced him and it was probably at least two hours go by.
That's when the rounds started coming through the wall
Through the glass.
The ones that were heading for john.
-Did he come inside?
-No, he, this door, you have to be buzzed in and out.
-Okay.
-So he, he made it in the lobby and shot from the lobby.
-The black guy? -Through the glass. Yeah.
-Oh okay.
Did you see him run out at all? -I didn't see him run.
-'cause I know when I got here I was trying to ask you,
But I don't know if you knew or not
Or if he left prior to.
-Yeah, like I was too busy yelling at everybody to get down
'cause I know he's not gonna be able
To get through that door. -Mm-hmm.
-But obviously you could see that the rounds were coming through here.
So I, you know, I--
-Through those holes right there.
-Yeah, those holes right there.
I was right there on that side of the case.
-And then did you go check on john after?
-John actually made it to the doorway
And made one look at me
And I knew he got hit. And he's like, "I got hit."
And then he went, he collapsed right there.
-Okay. -Like where you helped him on that chair.
-Do you think 'cause it's like a all-cash place?
-It was personal.
'cause what he said when he left the first time was like,
"you guys don't run this street.
You guys ain't no shot callers."
'cause he got mad that we denied him.
But I think it was literally very personal.
-Okay. It wasn't too bad, so I think he'll be all right.
(indistinct chatter)
-So you found 12 casings?
-Twelve casings, and they all appear to be inbound.
I don't see anything outbound,
So I don't think the security guard fired at all.
He dropped this id in the lobby when he was running out
And witnesses saying dropped it
And john identified it as the shooter.
And we have two individuals who say it was him
Based on just the driver's license, so be following up on that.
-So it was positive id and the dvr that they're gonna pull,
We could probably pin it on him.
-Master deputy colin davis: When I was looking at departments in this area,
Richland county just stands out.
There's a lot of agencies in this area that,
That are good departments to work for,
But working for sheriff lot's been great.
Working in this career field you subject yourself to a lot
Of liability, but knowing you have a strong leader
That's actually gonna have your back at the end
Of the day makes makes it worth it.
All right, we just turned around on this vehicle.
Passenger gave me a hard look and there's no license plate
On the vehicle, so we're gonna initiate a traffic stop.
And he's already taken off so,
Looks like we're chasing this vehicle.
Rosewood drive inbound on a golden color sedan.
Give you 10-0, give me 10-3,
A no 28, reckless driving.
(police radio chatter)
(police sirens wails)
Left on capers, then left on hemp hill street.
Gold honda sedan.
Older model black rear bumper. Four-way clear.
(police siren wails)
(police radio chatter)
(car engine blaring)
(police radio chatter)
(beep)
(police radio chatter)
-Copy. South kilbourne headed towards rosewood again.
He might have tapped that vehicle.
So I got hit-and-run as well now.
(police sirens)
(police radio chatter)
-We are on prentice avenue.
-Clear.
(police radio chatter)
-10-50.
10-50.
Do not move!
Get on the ground! Get on the ground!
(woman crying)
-Turn around. Turn around. Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
Okay. Okay. Relax, relax, relax. Relax.
Hey, we need a 52, white female.
Looks like multiple broken bones.
-Alright, just relax, relax.
Just relax.
Lie straight back. Straight on your back.
(woman crying)
-Straight on your back. You're okay.
-We got one subject running down. Same direction.
(woman screaming)
-Shirtless. If someone wants to circulate.
(police sirens)
(police radio chatter)
(police sirens)
(woman crying)
-I'm good on scene. If, if, uh,
930, you wanna stay on that subject,
And put it out to the police scanner.
-(woman crying) -(police radio chatter)
-Relax, relax, relax. Hey, how old are you?
-19. -19? Got nothing on you?
-Am I hurt? Am I hurt bad? -Can you straighten this leg?
-This one's broke. -That one's broken you think?
-Yes, sir. -All right. Just relax.
Just sit here. We're gonna sit for a minute, okay?
Why you taking off? -I bought the car off of somebody
And I already knew it was stolen.
-Okay, well the car might be stolen. You worry about that.
-Sale's in door.
-Hey, suspect got brown pants. No shirt.
-Sir. -What's that?
-Am I hurt bad? -I mean, I ain't gonna lie to you.
It's not great, but you ain't bleeding. You're gonna be okay.
Just gonna hurt for a minute. -Am I going to jail?
-You are under arrest. Okay?
-Will I go to jail after this? -Yeah, you have to.
-I got court on the 13th.
-You're gonna go to the hospital first.
Ambulance's pulling up right now, okay. This is them right here.
They're gonna take care of you. Give you good answers, okay?
-Can you pull that boot off. -Pull that boot off?
Let's let, let's let them work on you.
Not bleeding problem, but right here.
No seatbelt. Slid into the tree.
I think hip might be messed up.
(police radio chatter)
-What's up, boss? -All right.
-Right here, sir.
(police radio chatter)
-She was driving. -She was driving?
-Yeah, she rolled out the car. Probably broken hip.
She alluded to it being stolen already
And then she's retracting that now.
Uh, there's no tag on the car.
Um, first thing out of her mouth was,
"I knew that car was stolen when I got it
From a buddy."
Passenger, he took off down that way.
-He's right there. -What's that?
(police radio chatter)
-He's right there. -(on radio): Copy.
-Hey, come here.
Come here.
Turn around.
Relax.
(beep)
-(on radio): Clay, you got anything else in that car?
-Break 69 with him.
He came back to the wreck site.
-Where's candace? -She's right there.
Hey, how old are you?
Yeah. -13.
-13? Why you taking off? -'cause I ain't know what to do.
Like we crashed. I don't know what was going on.
I don't know what was going on.
-The wreck site.
You got anything in your pockets?
If you did, they're probably in the woods, right? What was in here?
What was in there? -Nothing.
-Okay, he's soaking wet.
My guess is he had a little bit of meth that he's sprinkled
In the yards.
Have seat right here, okay?
And, and lean back on my car, okay? I got you.
That's where he came out. The other side.
-Is there a pool back here or something?
-So right now we have k-9 out here
Doing what's called an article search.
See if that passenger dropped anything
While he was fleeing on foot.
See if we have any other charges.
Turn around on a vehicle.
Saw the vehicle had no license plate on the back of it.
And then as pretty much as I saw the vehicle,
It decided to just start passing traffic in the median
At a high rate of speed.
Um, so observed reckless driving
And then also the no, no registration.
Um, initiated blue lights and sirens.
The vehicle led us on a, about a mile
Or two vehicle chase pursuit.
Um, ended up here at the intersection
When the driver lost control and struck a tree.
Driver kind of fell out the vehicle.
Uh, took the driver into custody,
And the passenger ran on foot down the road here.
Uh, next to where the driver bailed was a small bag
That I've, from my training experience,
Usually firearms and narcotics are usually held
In those types of bags.
Um, the passenger did come back
To the scene and was taken into custody for now.
Is he pulling at all?
-Yeah. -Okay.
We're done.
(police sirens)
-Driver's going to the hospital.
She got probably a broken hip.
Passenger is covered in water and went behind these houses.
Looks like it might be a pool over there.
If he had meth, it's all dissolved now.
-(on radio): 1-2-2. Warning issued.
-So one of our investigators was able to make contact
With the owner of this vehicle.
He's got security footage of these two
Stealing this car a couple hours ago,
Which makes a lot of sense why they took off.
She's, of course, gonna get charged
For, uh, reckless driving, failure to stop for blue lights,
And there's probably some other stuff coming her way.
Passenger did take off on foot.
He's a bit younger.
Um, for some reason,
He decided to come outta the woods over here
And kind of turn himself in.
Thankfully, they didn't hit anybody.
And of course, no, no lives were lost.
So that's, that's always a good thing.
-Deputy jonathan nunez: I didn't wanna work a desk job.
Definitely wanted to be able to be outside.
Decided to become a deputy.
Just seemed like a really fun job to do.
Other than being a firefighter, it's probably
One of the more exciting jobs you could ever have, really.
You feel accomplished when you're
Able to help someone out
Who's in a tough spot and they need the help.
We are responding to assist our partners attempting to
Take a suspect into custody.
He's wanted for assaulting,
Sounds like one of his neighbors
In an apartment complex with a crowbar.
What do you guys need?
-Um, so last time these guys were moving in
And he basically went after him with a box cutter.
We had to go in the apartment
And kick in the bathroom door
'cause he was in there hiding from us.
-Okay. -And get him out.
It's his mom's apartment.
He's not supposed to be living there -mm-hmm.
-Uh, but he retreated up there.
So I'll have them do, I'll have costa do a search warrant
For third-party residence.
I'll have them do a ramey warrant
And pucilowski's gonna do the, uh,
Cogent photo right now. -Okay.
-So right now we'll standby
To standby 'cause we'll probably have to go in and get him.
-Okay. Hi, ma'am.
Did you see what happened earlier?
-He had the crowbar, uh, pulled back on this guy.
Not him, but the other one.
I thought, "oh call 9-1-1 on him."
'cause he's been arrested before.
This don't make no sense.
He started messing with them all the time.
-All right, thank you.
(police banging on door)
-Arthur, it's the sheriff's office. You're under arrest.
Come outside with your hands up.
-Let him know we have a search warrant.
-Arthur, we have a search warrant.
You're under arrest.
We're gonna force entry if you don't come outside.
-Unarmed.
All right, go ahead, chavez.
(battering ram banging)
-Go, go, go, go, go, go.
-Show me your hands.
-I got the radio.
-Show me your hands. Arthur!
(indistinct)
-Show me your hands, arthur.
-There's a female in there with him.
Put your hands in the air, arthur.
-Put your hands up.
(speaking spanish)
-Stand up, arthur. -We know you speak english.
Step this way.
I, I spoke to you last time. I-- turn around.
Face away from us.
-Put your hands behind your head.
-Interlace your fingers behind your head. Do it now.
Step backwards to the sound of my voice.
Step backwards. Keep coming backwards. Now.
Go ahead, mendoza.
(woman crying)
-Is that mom? -Yeah. Did you ask her where that crowbar is?
-Sure. -Keep your hand right here.
Keep your hand right there.
-Mother: I told him. I kept telling him to open.
-Was he not letting you open the door?
-He wouldn't let me come over here.
-So he was keeping you from opening the door?
-He didn't want me to open it.
-He didn't want you to or he wouldn't let you?
-He didn't let. -Okay.
Come out here. We're gonna do a search real quick.
-What? -Come out this way, ma'am.
-We're gonna take you out this way.
-I, I got her. I'll, I'll escort her.
-All right. -Come on.
-Come on out.
-Hey, instead of that, let's do the (indistinct).
-Let's move out here to the front, okay?
That's your son, right? -Yes, my son.
-How did he get into the apartment? -I don't know.
He doesn't, sometimes when he leaves, he doesn't lock the door.
-Does he have a key? -No, I'm the only one with the key.
-Do you, does he live here?
-He's been staying here.
He's not supposed to be living here.
-Oh, he's been staying here?
How long? -He's been probably for about--
-Huh? -About two months. Maybe.
-Two months? Okay. -Yeah.
-You see, I've, I've been trying to get him out.
I mean, I had called the police before.
-Right.
-And, and, and, and they didn't take him.
You know, they told me to leave.
-Uh-huh. -I go, "this is my apartment."
You know, I was homeless for a long time.
-So why did you allow him in?
-'cause I didn't want him homeless
Out in the street like I was.
-Well, you're gonna have to pick, you know,
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
It's either one or the other.
You either let him stay here
And then things like this are happening at your house.
-I know it's my fault. I shouldn't have done that.
But I didn't know he was going to do all this.
-Well, I mean, he did it before, right?
Happened a few-- -did what before?
-Happened a few weeks ago, right?
Where we had to come over here and kick a door down. Right?
-I don't know.
If you guys would've done your jobs and taken him
In the first place then nothing, nothing.
This was to happen.
-Okay. -It's not my fault.
I didn't do nothing wrong. -Okay.
-Am I gonna be under arrest too? -Uh, no. Not at this point.
You're not.
-Am I gonna be under arrest?
-No. I'm just here trying to figure out what's going on.
So let's just hang out over here. Okay?
-She looked terrified.
I thought for sure that
He had a weapon right there with him.
-So this is the crowbar that the suspect used.
Uh, sounds like he was brandishing it
Toward his neighbors and, uh, used it to hit a door
Hit the, the neighbor's front door with it,
As well as their back door.
It was located inside of the apartment.
After we made entry and executed the search warrant.
Hey, buddy. Is it art?
Arturo, arthur? What do you go by?
-Arturo. -Arturo?
-Yeah. -All right, arturo, here's the deal.
You're going to jail today, okay?
You're gonna jail for assault with a deadly weapon,
And false imprisonment of, of your mother, okay?
All right? Do you have any questions for me?
-I wasn't charged.
-Huh? -I never broke the law.
-Unfortunately, you're going to the jail today
Because we have some witnesses
And victims saying that you did.
Do you have any questions?
-Who said I broke the law?
-Yeah. That's why you're going to jail today.
-I hit someone?
-That, that's what the word is.
You attempted to, is what I'm hearing.
-There's no proof of that.
-Huh? -There's no proof.
-Okay. That's what court's for, right?
-And you guys broke down a door.
-We have, we have probable cause to arrest you.
So we had a search warrant.
We had a warrant for your arrest.
-We're not in the order. -Huh?
-We're not in the order of court.
-You're not in the order of court?
Okay. I'm not sure what that means, but I hear ya.
-You know what it means.
You're, you're, you're sheriffs.
-All right, buddy.
Good luck.
Didn't seem like he was understanding
What we were telling him.
Appeared a little out of it.
He's going to jail today for assault with a deadly weapon
And false imprisonment.
-Good job on getting the warrants completed quick,
-I think it was done as well as it could have been done.
-(over radio): 132 and bush, I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatch: Okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Thanks, 10.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code three.
-(theme music playing)
