The world of COPS is growing, with COPS: CAR CHASES bringing us some intense and dramatic car chases. Not all of them end with speeding down a highway, and some of them get out on foot in an attempt to run.
We have a sneak peek of tonight’s all-new episode, which will focus on a man who steals his girlfriend’s truck when she refuses to take him somewhere and the deputies performing a PIT maneuver on a freshly stolen car.
What happens after a man steals his girlfriend’s car in COPS: CAR CHASES
Our sneak peek is on the first storyline listed in the synopsis for the episode. We open with the car chase happening, as one cop is following a red truck that has been listed as stolen. However, the driver of the truck ends up getting out.
He’s arrested on foot, and it looks like there’s almost a risk of a dog getting involved. That dog does not look like a trained police dog, so the truck driver is lucky that he wasn’t harmed in anyway. It takes one cop to hold back the dog, while the others all gather around to arrest.
I’ll leave you to check out the sneak peek before we get into more details:
There is certainly more to this stolen vehicle story. The man claims that he didn’t quite steal the truck. He took it, but not with the intention of selling it or anything like that. When his girlfriend didn’t take him to the methadone clinic, he got mad and decided to take the truck, but he intended to bring it back.
We can hear him screaming “why did you do this to me, Baby?” as he’s being arrested. This is likely linked to the fact that his girlfriend was the one to call the cops, but she didn’t really want to claim that the truck was stolen, likely knowing her boyfriend was going to bring it back. She did do the right thing, though, as it’s clear that he could have put other lives at risk.
In the end, the cooperation of the man is going to see him charged with a little less. Definitely not with the stolen vehicle charge that he could have had. The cop is happy that the man and his girlfriend’s story match. Would he rather face the cops or the girlfriend, though?
