Port Orchard police are looking for a man seen on video Wednesday ramming a stolen car into a patrol vehicle in the Goodwill parking lot to make his getaway, despite efforts by officers to block him to keep him from fleeing.

By the end of the video, posted to the streaming service Streamable and filmed by an unidentified bystander, the stolen car struck at least one other nearby car before speeding off.

Port Orchard Police Chief Matt Brown said car thefts are spiking in the city — as they are across Kitsap County and elsewhere. With new limits restricting how officers can pursue suspects, officers had attempted to stop the suspect from fleeing by boxing him in, knowing they could not chase him if drove away.

“It didn’t quite work out the way we wanted,” Brown said. “He was able to get away, but we know who he is and intend to pick him up at a later time.”

Police were called to the Goodwill, 1700 Mile Hill Drive, at about 9:50 a.m. after receiving a call about an occupied stolen car. Three officers responded and attempted to box in the driver.

What followed, as shown in the video, is the suspect repeatedly striking one police car — a statement from the department said the driver actually struck two police cars as well as two other cars in the parking lot, before escaping.

The crimes for which the driver is suspected — third-degree assault, hit and run and possession of a stolen car — do not qualify as offenses for which officers can pursue, Brown said.

Officers can pursue drivers if they have strong evidence that the person committed certain serious violent offenses, but third-degree assault does not count.

“Even that assault is not enough for us to chase him,” Brown said.

Officers from multiple agencies assisted Port Orchard police in tracking the suspect over the course of the next several hours, the department said in a statement.

Brown said the video of the incident was dramatic, but he appreciated that nobody was injured.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Three men are charged after a shootout with Chicago police that left one of them critically injured Wednesday night.

Chicago police said officers were attempting to stop a car that had been taken in a carjacking with three men inside. After pulling the car over, as officers approached the vehicle, there was an exchange of gunfire, according to CPD.

Edgardo Perez, 24, was shot by police and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical but stable condition. He is now charged with attempted first degree murder of a Chicago police officer.

The two other people in the car were taken into custody. Jesse Sanchez, 21, and Noel Centeno, 20, are also now facing felony charges for alleged possession of a stolen vehicle and weapons charges.

Two weapons were recovered, police said, a pistol with a laser sight and a revolver.

Video obtained by the ABC7 I-Team from law enforcement sources shows the dramatic confrontation as it happened when Chicago police shot a man in the heart of downtown Wednesday night.

The shooting happened around 8:45 p.m. near Lower Wacker Drive and Columbus Drive, an area which is heavily traveled both ways near the Chicago River.

No officers were shot, but a 34-year-old officer and a 30-year-old officer were taken to local hospitals to be treated for minor injuries, according to police.

The age and gender of the people in custody have not been released.

The scene cleared about 4:30 a.m. Thursday, and a car riddled with bullet holes was towed away.

Video from a police POD cam shows the first officer come to the passenger-side window, then go down for cover, either seeing a gun or responding to suspect gunfire, before getting back up to help other officers.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said it was responding to the shooting.

LAKE WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth man is suing a former Lake Worth police officer in federal court, calling an incident where he was running away from cops on foot and struck by a police SUV excessive force.

Video from the dashcam and body camera from the 2020 incident was made public on Monday. The video is intense. We want to warn you the video may be hard to watch.

Dashcam video shows then-officer Jonathan Granado run over Dustin Bates at the end of a motorcycle chase in November 2020. Granado left the department last year.

Bates had fled from a traffic stop, and it was later found that he had drugs on him. He had an active warrant.

Neither the former officer nor Bates was charged with a crime. Now, Bates is suing the former officer.

The officer was not charged, but the lawsuit claims the officer intentionally hit the motorcyclist after he crashed the bike and ran away.

Granado was attempting to pull over Bates for a license plate that didn’t match his motorcycle. However, Bates sped off.

The chase lasted roughly two minutes before Bates crashed his bike and ran off. That’s when the officer drove his SUV off the road and hit Bates head-on.

Granado’s body camera footage revealed the officer cursing right when it happened. He called it an accident.

"I hit my brakes, and it slid. And I hit him with the front of the car," he said.

Lake Worth Chief JT Manoushagian says evidence suggests it may have been an accident.

"So as soon as he applied the brakes, the car began to go into a slide," he said.

James Roberts is Bates’ attorney. He believes it was intentional.

"Literally leaves the roadway tracks. Mr. Bates, as he runs through the field, turns his car and runs him down going 45 miles per hour," Roberts said.

Bates filed a lawsuit Monday. His attorney admits he shouldn’t have fled.

"The decision to flee was a poor decision," he said.

However, Roberts added something else.

"In America, you don’t get hit with a car for making just a poor decision," he said.

"I wish we wouldn’t have collided with Mr. Bates. I wish he would’ve surrendered," Manoushagian. "I wish that we could’ve taken him into custody peacefully without injury to him or anyone else."

Lake Worth police say Officer Granado was allowed to pursue, but he violated several safety protocols.

"It is," Manoushagian said. "But just because you can doesn’t mean you should."

Granado was suspended for two weeks but remained with the department until he resigned last month.

"I wish that it wouldn’t have happened. I wish that different decisions had been made," Manoushagian said.

Grand Prairie police led the criminal investigation into Officer Granado’s crash in an attempt to be an unbiased third party. The case was sent to a Tarrant County grand jury, which declined to indict the officer last year.

The Department of Justice and FBI also declined action.

Bates was eventually arrested and charged with evading arrest and drug possession. Police found meth on him and also learned he had an active parole warrant. However, all the charges were dropped.

Court filings show Tarrant County DA Sharon Wilson signed the motion to dismiss the charges. No further information was made available.

Since the incident, Roberts says Bates has undergone surgeries and has permanent scarring from his injuries.

"He broke Mr. Bates’ back. He fractured his spine," Roberts said. "He broke his leg, and he fractured three of his ribs."

Roberts believes there’s no excuse for the crash, that it was a violation of his client’s fourth amendment constitutional right, citing excessive force, and is seeking unspecified damages.

The police chief also called the crash preventable.,

"It was due to the officer’s poor judgment," the chief said.

It is important to point out this lawsuit is going after the officer and not the department.

On January 22, 2022, Deputy Richard Demarco was in the area of S Highway 441 and SE 147th Street, in Summerfield, when he observed a Honda sedan without a license plate attached. The car was pulling into the Circle K parking lot as Deputy Demarco was leaving, so he pulled in behind the Honda. The driver, Joshua Peters, immediately drove in between the gas pumps and ran a stop sign while going back onto S Highway 441.

Deputy Demarco attempted a traffic stop, but Peters refused to stop and a pursuit was initiated. Peters continued to flee for several miles and drove through a red light at the intersection of S Highway 441 and SE Highway 42. While fleeing, Peters signaled that he was going to pull over; however, he continued to drive away. Deputy Demarco performed a Precision Immobilization Technique (P.I.T.) causing the vehicle to spin into the median. Peters regained control and Deputy Hadyn Helinski also performed a P.I.T. maneuver on the vehicle. As he was attempting to drive away through the median, Peters’ vehicle became stuck and he fled on foot.

Deputy Heath Hannar began to chase Peters on foot and ultimately utilized his taser to take Peters into custody. After he was placed into handcuffs, Peters advised he was in possession of a “rig”, which is a collection of items used to inject various types of drugs. Peters was arrested for Fleeing and Eluding, Driving with a Suspended License, and Resisting without Violence. He was transported to the Marion County Jail, where he is held on a $27,000 bond.
