Transcript:
Dispatch 35 traffic stop. 35. I'll be out with Ocean George Victor 132, OGV-132, 17th Street, South East and Carolina. Tom Far. (name withheld) just took off on me. Okay. Down. Tim. Can I have you move to... I would talk two other cars set that way. How do you with yours down? 39's in a row. Two more. 36. Where are we going, 35? I didn't go, Austin. Pretty sure I last time I'm going northbound. Are you on plus 35? 10-4[1]. You got a description? You've got a hat-on, jeans, black t-shirt. Let's set up a perimeter here, guys. Let's set the High Line Trail, too. 837.05. 3705. 3705. We intend for on Mesa City's traffic. I couldn't catch a household vehicle or a foot pursuit. I'm not 100% sure. I'm wondering if it was a traffic staff that turned into a flip pursuit. I think she said that she lost him now. Ten forth, thanks. You couldn't have gone that far, but go to that resident. Just, Judge, can you have the RO of this vehicle? Sounds like he doesn't have any weapons. I thought so, but when I was coming back down south, I thought I saw somebody running on 18th Street. Would have been Easton. 10-4. Are we good to let this car go? Negative, let's talk to him real quick. She said they were headed to her residence. Their traffic. Thirty-six, it's in the area. Ten-four. Thirty-five. You think he ran south? I thought he took off north, but when I was coming back south, I saw somebody running eastbound on the street down. 10 for us. Let's check that trail by those trains. 51's out on the trail. 1515. I got the RP or the RO calling them. 51.25. We're going to be hopping on this trail. Look around very infrared from the Norwichist FI. Tell, Lord. Thanks for a man at 15th school.
