I'm getting another call. This one says 51st in Wells, so I don't know what the correct address is.
00:05
The remarks say, South Bonn on Wells at 54th, there's a male with white tank top, long dreads for the scene of an accident.
00:16
And then they proceeded to give us the entire VIN on a gray Nissan.
00:25
So I don't know if this is Garfield, 54th, or 51st Street.
00:32
902, Sam, can you pull up any of those cameras?
00:35
Give us some info.
00:38
Yeah, we're looking.
00:44
Before I'm at Garfield and Wells, now I don't see nothing over here. I'm going to slide back to 50 first.
00:51
Nothing on Garfield. All right, ten-fourth.
00:58
All right, some additional information they're giving Northbound on Wells, male with white tank top, long dreads, blue jeans, fled bleeding,
01:06
and that the vehicle up behind belongs to that guy that fled from it.
01:22
I'm getting a person down at the BP gas station, 300 West Garfield, man face down.
01:28
West side of the gas station near the fence, I don't know if that's related at all.
01:33
All right, check the area, there's a gas station over on Garfield and Wells. I got a car under the wall over here,
01:40
at 51st and what is, it's one worth.
01:45
Okay, so you found him at 51st? We'll change that.
01:54
32, I'll check that on BP.
01:58
All right, time for.
02:04
Well, if we went northbound, it might be that BP on 43rd Street, 43rd and Wentworth.
02:11
Kind of a little way away.
02:15
25, it's not very good job on the Lodge, please.
02:19
All right, 25 is going to help out too, time for it.
02:32
34 for information.
02:34
34.
02:37
This is just a single vehicle auto accident. It looks like he went through the red light going southbound on Wells and crashed into the bridge wall over here at 51st Street.
02:50
And they said that he took off and he ran southbound on Wells towards those gas stations.
02:56
So we can have a unit over there, check those gas stations.
02:59
It's going to be that description of that male with the white tank top. He's all bloody.
03:06
Okay, 932, you're going to check the gas station on Garfield, right?
03:13
32, 99. Yeah, just go past there.
03:16
I don't see anybody that's bloody or what the white tank top there.
03:21
Okay, because that call that came in as the person down just said a man was faced down on the west side of the station. We never really had a clothing description, so it could be related or not, I don't know.
03:33
963.
03:37
Do we know if that car has got plates on or is it without plate?
03:43
34 does it have plate on it at all? Because I know we got a VIN.
03:48
Does it have plates though?
03:51
Yeah, it's a white paper stamp tag.
03:55
But I'm not sure if it's even valid, it looks bogus.
04:01
I will run the VIN. It's supposed to be a gray Nissan.
04:04
Yeah, 99 and also the vent is covered in the front of this vehicle.
04:09
It's going to be a male with long dreads to his outline.
04:13
They're going to be a ponytail.
04:15
It's going to have a white, pink top, blue jeans.
04:17
It's going to be about six foot,
04:20
a thin build.
04:22
Like I said, bloody,
04:24
in his mid-20s.
04:28
All right, male with long dreads down to his beltline, white tank top, blue jeans, thin, six foot, mid-20s, and he's bleeding, and he fled from this accident, 51st,
04:40
and Wells.
04:46
9-0-210 looks like he went into 316, West 51st place.
04:55
Okay,
04:57
902 Sands as he went into 316 West 51st place.
05:05
Okay, 60. Howie welcome there been?
05:12
Yeah, it came back to multiple plates, so we have to run that, but they're both expired either way. Hold on.
05:23
It looks like this is coming back to stolen.
05:29
It's coming back. I want it. No holds.
05:34
Still looking through it.
05:37
Let me run the RD number.
05:43
It's a stolen, 0910 for the UCR.
05:47
963.
05:49
Yeah, do we have any calls like fleeing or anything from the second district or seven?
05:56
They haven't told us, we'd have to ask them, hold on.
06:00
Pretty.
06:03
Okay.
06:05
Maxuna coming in.
06:08
Yeah, 3-4. No, it doesn't appear that anybody was chasing this vehicle, from my knowledge, the sergeant from the 2nd District was here and on view this accident. He was at the red light facing eastbound. This vehicle was traveling southbound on Wells, went through the red light, and almost struck his vehicle, and then lost control and hit the wall.
06:39
60, I'm sorry, did 90210 say this kind of got to a house?
06:45
He says he might have ran into 316 West 51st place.
06:51
Okay,
06:55
Sam, I saw him go in the front yard and then look like he started walking towards down that driveway.
07:06
Okay. 960 copy?
07:10
Okay. 930, copy? Let me.
07:18
934, you want to give us that time tag number? We can run it just to see what it comes back to.
