00:00So this one is going to take us to New Mexico.
00:03That's the home of Reels and a pursuit involving a U-Haul truck
00:06with two people trapped inside being held against their will.
00:13George! George!
00:16That noise you hear is coming from inside the back of this U-Haul truck.
00:21A couple is trapped inside and they're doing everything they can
00:25in hopes that someone will hear them.
00:28George!
00:30Until finally, the U-Haul very slowly pulls away.
00:36Fortunately, a neighbor did hear those sounds and called 911.
00:40And Santa Fe police have now tracked the U-Haul to this stretch of highway.
00:45And there's the truck.
00:46I need a unit. I need a marked unit. It's all over the road. Approaching I-25. Approaching I-25.
00:5170 miles an hour, Southbound, I-25.
00:55270, I'm behind them.
00:56Even takeover, 218, takeover, comps, takeover, comps.
01:00We're approaching the U-Haul, pressing the U-Haul, 80 miles an hour.
01:03The U-Haul makes the left turn and heads into this residential area.
01:07Let's pull into Simons-Messor Road. Simons-Messor Road.
01:12I'll see you those parts. We're at the residential area. We're going 13 miles an hour. Let me advise you on Codd Street.
01:20The U-Haul stops short and takes off.
01:34The driver runs the stop sign and jumps the curb.
01:37Driver front car is flat.
01:41And then jumps the curb again.
01:45And again.
01:48Scratching up. Scratching up.
01:50Up ahead, another stop sign.
01:56The truck makes the left.
02:02And waiting just up the road a bit, an officer with spike strips.
02:13He goes around the spike strips and jumps the curb again.
02:16And by the way, all these speed bumps?
02:21You've got to be doing a number on the two people in the back of the truck.
02:33Up ahead, more officers await with spike strips.
02:38The tires are beginning to fall apart.
02:52You have no tires.
02:53Light traffic. Just lost the tire.
02:58Yet this U-Haul is showing no signs of slowing down.
03:01Light traffic.
03:02We're approaching on your vehicle.
03:03The truck loses control and swerves into the opposite lane.
03:11At this point, the truck practically is riding on all four rims.
03:17Up ahead, he's got a red light.
03:35The U-Haul comes to a stop and somehow squeezes through.
03:43Remember, there's two people in the back of the truck, so attempting a pit maneuver is probably
03:50not an option.
03:52Looks like the U-Haul is preparing to make a turn.
03:59But with all four flat tires, that's not going to be easy.
04:02One of the tires goes flying off, and the truck comes to a stop.
04:19The driver's refusing to exit the truck.
04:22A Santa Fe detective fires less lethal and shatters the driver's side window.
04:28The driver opens the door and surrenders.
04:34Meanwhile, the couple trapped in the back of the truck continue to make noises.
04:43They place the driver in custody as they clear the front of the truck.
04:46They slide open the back of the U-Haul.
04:55The two kidnapping victims are carefully removed from inside the truck and led to a waiting ambulance.
05:0350-year-old Stacy Walker is now facing charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated
05:08fleeing, and leaving the scene of an accident. The two victims inside the truck later told detectives
05:13they were helping Walker clean out the back of his moving truck when suddenly he slammed that door
05:18down shut and locked him inside.
