The Peachtree City Police Department has released video of a brief pursuit on Jan. 18 involving a known wanted person.

Police say that 20-year-old Jordon Johnson took off in his car when they attempted to make contact with him at the Pit Stop on Highway 74 near PDK Boulevard.

The pursuit was brought to an end by an officer using the PIT maneuver.

Johnson was wanted for DUI, driving without a license, felony fleeing/attempting to elude police in Coweta County, a probation violation in Henry County, a warrant for failure to appear on a DUI charge in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and a failure to appear on a driving without a license in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Johnson was booked into the Fayette County Jail on multiple charges.

A Camden County man is accused of stealing an Atlantic City police transport van and ramming two patrol cars shortly after he was released from police custody on attempted burglary of a police car.

Video captured by a resident’s surveillance camera shows officers running from their vehicles as the van backed up into the patrol cars as the driver was cornered on North Iowa Avenue.

A concerned citizen first alerted police at about 7:20 p.m. Friday that a man was trying to steal a marked patrol vehicle parked on Atlantic Avenue, Sgt. Paul Aristizabal said.

Officers William Akins and Jarae Langford, who were at the Public Safety Building, saw the man trying to open the locked driver’s side door to the patrol vehicle, and confronted him, according to the report.

Jason Urbaniak admitted that he was trying to steal the vehicle, and was arrested without incident, Aristizabal said.

He was processed on attempted burglary charges and released on a summons at about 10:50 p.m., according to the report.

Urbaniak, 40, then went into the parked Police Department prisoner van, manipulated the ignition to start it and took off, Aristizabal said.

Police communications was immediately notified of the stolen van.

Officer Tyler Daily found the van minutes later in the 200 block of North Iowa Avenue.

Additional responding officers arrived on scene and pulled behind the van, when Urbaniak put it into reverse, accelerating into two marked patrol vehicles, Aristizabal said.

Officer Consuelo Maldonado suffered a minor injury as a result and was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Campus, where she was treated and released.

Officers are seen in surveillance video running from their vehicles as the van heads toward them.

At least one pulled their firearm. Urbaniak was taken into custody without further incident.

The Blackwood resident is charged with two counts each of aggravated assault on police, attempted aggravated assault on police and assault by auto. He also is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, eluding and criminal attempt burglary.

Urbaniak is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

An investigation into how he was able to start the van is underway.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Atlantic City police at 609-347-5858. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.

NOTE: The Atlantic County jail does not release mugshots under an order by the former prosecutor.

This incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. when a convenience store employee called 911 to report a number of customers told him about a man outside with a gun who was threatening to rob the store.

“… But they said that he's flashed a gun and he's talking about robbing the place," said the convenience store employee to the 911 operator.

Two officers in the area arrived on scene about 3 minutes later. They contacted 32-year-old Gary Sherrod who was seated outside the store. Sherrod stood up and officers noticed he had a gun in his hand. The two officers gave multiple commands for Sherrod to drop the gun, which he ignored. Sherrod held the gun in front of his body, moving it around in different directions.

The officers' body worn cameras were activated. However, the views were obstructed at times, including at the time of the shooting.

The officer who fired told investigators Sherrod pointed the weapon in his direction, which resulted in the officer-involved shooting.

Slightly more than a minute elapsed from the time the officers contacted Sherrod to the time of the officer-involved shooting.

After the shooting, officers could see Sherrod no longer had the gun. It was on the ground out of his reach. They moved in to detain him and provided medical aid until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived.

Sherrod was transported to a local hospital to receive treatment for the gunshot wound. He is expected to survive his injuries and upon release from the hospital, will be booked in to jail.

Newly released bodycam video shows a University of Chicago police officer firing across a street at a gunman while repeatedly yelling at him to get on the ground and not move.

The gunman was shot and seriously wounded as he continued to approach the officer, according to the university.

The officer had stopped to investigate reports of a man walking south with a handgun drawn on Woodlawn Avenue at 53rd Street shortly before noon Tuesday.

The gunman started firing as the officer stepped out of his car, according to a statement from the university.

But bodycam video released by the school begins with the officer on the front steps of a home, shouting for a man across the street to “get on the ground, get on the ground.”

Seconds later, the officer begins shooting at the man, firing at least five times. The officer then runs closer to the man, using an SUV for cover while continuing to yell “get on the ground” and firing more shots.

About 45 seconds into the 54-second video, the man can be seen lying on the ground. The officer then radios, “Send an ambulance, he’s hit at least two times, officer-involved shooting.”

The man, in his 20s, was taken in critical condition to the university’s medical center. His name has not been released, though the school’s statement said he is not affiliated with the university.

Shortly after the shooting, police blocked off 53rd Street from Kimbark to an alley west of Woodlawn. Six evidence markers could be seen on the ground.

An employee who answered the phone at Kimbark Liquor and Wine said people ran in the store saying they saw “a guy waving a gun” before shooting erupted. The employee, who asked not to be named, didn’t see the shooting himself.

The Chicago Police Department and university are both investigating the shooting. The officer is being placed on mandatory administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigations, the school said.

In April 2018, University of Chicago police shot a student about a block from Tuesday’s incident after the man allegedly charged at an officer holding a pipe during a possible mental health crisis.

The student, Charles Soji Thomas, was later charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and criminal damage to property for allegedly smashing windows of cars shortly before the shooting. The charges were later dropped.

Students with CareNotCops, a group formed in response to the Thomas case, said it was concerned about the similarities with Tuesday’s shooting.

“From what we know right now, it seems like he was undergoing a mental health crisis, which just further connects it to Soji,” Warren Wagner, an organizer with CareNotCops, told the Sun-Times.

Since the group’s formation, CareNotCops has pushed the university to divest its police force and invest in mental health resources and facilities on campus.

The fatal shooting of graduate student Shaoxiong “Dennis” Zheng this past fall led some members of the university community to demand a larger police presence on campus, but Hala Hersi, another organizer with CareNotCops, said such actions will do nothing to address the root causes of violence.

“Police only ever react to gun violence — there are never any preventative measures,” Hersi said. “If we want to begin actually healing as a community...we must start by ending violent practices of increased policing and surveillance.”

“What we actually need is investment in our communities,” Sahar Punjwani, another organizer with CareNotCops, told the Sun-Times. “We need things like access to mental health resources or the PeaceBook that GoodKids MadCity advocates for, because policing doesn’t solve the issue.”

NYPD officers raced to rescue an injured Bronx woman who was trapped under a couch when the house next door exploded in flames and partially collapsed Tuesday morning, body camera video released by the department showed.

The officer wearing the camera ran towards the Fox Street inferno before rushing into the home adjacent to the raging structure fire, which killed a 77-year-old woman, and might have been sparked by a gas leak, officials said.

“Somebody’s in there,” a woman on the street could be heard frantically alerting the cops, according to the footage of the 11 a.m. Longwood scene.

“Under the couch! Under the couch! Right there, she’s under the couch!” a bystander yelled as he directed police into a living room on the first floor of the three story building that had been dilapidated by the blast.

“10-6 we’re inside,” an officer radioed to the dispatcher as three cops turned over the large piece of furniture that had pinned the woman in the corner of the room.

As she moaned in agony, the officers lifted up the woman and brought her outside to safety.

“One, two, let’s go. Get her over the couch!,” an officer instructed.

The NYPD blurred the face of the injured woman in the bodycam footage, which lasted 77 seconds. She is 68 years old, and was in serious condition, according to officials.

An 82-year-old sister of the unidentified woman that was killed in the blast was in critical condition, the NYPD said. The two women were in the home when it exploded and were found laying on the ground outside by first responders. Five cops were treated for smoke inhalation and were in stable condition, according to authorities.

“When @NYPD41pct officers arrived at the massive explosion at a Bronx home, they saw flames spreading to the adjoining home rocked by the explosion,” a Tuesday evening tweet by NYPD News read. “Knowing there was a person inside, they ran in. They found a woman trapped in the debris. Our prayers are with those affected.”

In a somber news conference at the scene, Mayor Eric Adams praised the NYPD rescue effort.

“We saved lives today. Our actions saved lives,” Adams said. “When you see the [cops’] body-cam video, you’re going to see the quick response of the officers going into the building next door from the explosion, not realizing if there would be an additional explosion, but they went inside and carried out a woman who was trapped inside.

“There’s so much we need to find out about this incident. It’s an ongoing investigation to determine what happened,” he said.

An 81-year-old man was pushed to the ground as he walked a dog on the Upper East Side, police said Wednesday as they searched for a suspect in the unprovoked attack.

Video released by the NYPD shows the victim being shoved to the sidewalk at E. 86th Street and Henderson Place around 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 25.

The victim appears to be talking with another person and walking a dog when his attacker comes up and shoves him to the pavement. Police said the assault was unprovoked and that the suspect fled on foot.

The victim suffered minor injuries to his hand, hip and shoulder. He refused medical attention.

San Diego, California — The San Diego Police Department released video footage of the fatal shooting by three officers of a robbery suspect who allegedly pulled a knife and a pellet gun on them in Logan Heights. The video includes portions of surveillance footage captured about 7:30 a.m. Monday from inside Mullens Market and Liquor in the 3000 block of Imperial Avenue. In it, 21-year-old Isaac Andrade approaches a store clerk at the market’s counter and shows them a large knife he’s holding in his left hand as part of a robbery attempt. Patrol officers investigating the holdup spotted the suspect walking in an alley just south of the scene of the crime, Brown said. As they approached, Andrade alleged reached into his jacket and produced a knife in one hand and what appeared to be a firearm in the other. In response, SDPD Officers Michael Martinez, Michael Muniz and Angel Vidrios shot the suspect. Police and firefighters tried in vain to revive Andrade before paramedics pronounced him dead. The gun that Andrade allegedly pulled turned out to be an airsoft- style pellet pistol, the lieutenant said.
