Tell us how long this chase went on, because my understanding is when you guys tracked
00:06
him down, which we've seen now on the body cam footage, he was about 50 miles north of
00:14
the golf course?
00:15
Right at about 155, we got notification from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office that
00:21
a suspect was heading our way.
00:23
They gave us a vehicle description, the tag description, operating under the assumption
00:28
that he had fired at the president.
00:29
We picked that car up, right at about the mile marker 92 and 995, and then followed
00:36
it.
00:37
It came into our county, I'm sorry, and then we followed it for about two miles, and then
00:42
using what we call a pit maneuver or a pinch, we forced the vehicle to a stop on 995 and
00:50
made the arrest.
00:52
You would expect this person maybe to put up some order of a fight, and it seems like
00:56
he just went very easily with you guys.
00:58
We were somewhat taken aback.
01:00
I was.
01:01
I got there just right after the stop.
01:03
He was as casual as if he was going to a late night or an early Sunday night church service.
01:08
He never asked why he was being stopped.
01:10
He offered no explanation, didn't ask what were all the police doing out there.
01:15
I mean, we had 30 deputies, lots of long rifles, 995 closed in both direction, helicopter overhead.
01:22
Not a word out of him, like, what's going on?
01:25
That's what made me think when I saw that, I said, he knows what time it is, and he knows
01:28
exactly why he's being stopped.
01:31
There must have been a lot of pressure on you guys to make sure it got done correctly,
01:37
given what had happened two months earlier.
01:39
Well, we had a lot of pressure.
01:41
Certainly, he wasn't getting out of this county, that's for sure.
01:43
We had a green light.
01:44
We would have done anything we had to to stop him, and then, of course, the pressure on
01:49
releasing information.
01:50
I knew that the public was hungry for information, and so I have not tampered it down.
01:58
I released it the same.
01:59
We had the suspect, the person of interest, and that he was in custody.
