Fleeing Police, Suspect Carjacks BMW To Keep Running

This police chase featuring a Georgia trooper driving like a professional wheelman, a suspect carjacking a BMW, and more is gripping. It's more nerve racking and interesting than just about any movie car chase scene as a desperate suspect and a desperate trooper match wits.Everything starts with the trooper trying to pull over a crappy car (a Nissan Sentra?) for a traffic violation. The thing is beat up, has a busted taillight, and it's not a great option for fleeing from police. Still, the suspect tries to run.
But soon enough he pulls into a parking lot and ditches the econo-box, running away on foot and using a gun to carjack a BMW from some poor innocent bystander.
As the guy tears out of the neighborhood where he took the Bimmer, cops start swarming. We can't imagine what the guy's thinking with the extreme show of force, but he keeps on driving like crazy to try getting away.
He gaps the trooper by a good distance before too long, pushing the little German car for all it's worth. But the trooper keeps it together, relying on his training even though he knows in the back of his mind if he loses the armed and clearly dangerous man, some innocent person might be killed.
Taking to the interstate, the suspect passes on the shoulders, thanks to fairly thick traffic. There are plenty of close calls as the speed and potential danger of the chase elevate dramatically. One close call in particular with another cruiser crossing the median makes the trooper scream in terror as he almost wrecks out.
All that hard driving leads to one of the tires on the BMW blowing out. He keeps pushing the stolen car, even though he's clearly having trouble controlling it.
Sadly, we don't get to see the conclusion to this chase, apparently because YouTube thought it was too much. We see him crash the BMW, but in the rest of the foot he gets out with the gun pointed at his head. Somehow, troopers are able to de-escalate the situation and take the guy into custody without further violence.

75-year-old falls into ravine and goes missing. Then Oregon rescuers got a signal

A 75-year-old was missing until his GPS tracking bracelet helped rescuers find him, Oregon officials said. On July 2, Washington County deputies got reports of a man that had left his Portland home on foot and was potentially endangered, according to a Facebook post by the sheriff's office. The man left his home without a phone but was wearing a Project Lifesaver bracelet, a GPS tracking bracelet, deputies said. Search and rescue personnel arrived and a drone was sent out to search for the man, officers said. A signal from the man's bracelet was picked up and an officer along with their police dog were able to locate the man in 'dense foliage' after he had fallen into a ravine and was unable to get out, officials said. He was rescued and taken to a local hospital for treatment, officials said.

Todd Chrisley reveals his ‘sole intent' in prison was to make employees miserable

Todd Chrisley knows best when it comes to the prison system. In May, the reality star, 56, and his wife, Julie Chrisley, 52, were pardoned by President Donald Trump after being convicted of fraud and tax evasion in 2022. Todd and Julie began their prison sentences in 2023 and served a little over two years before gaining their freedom. 9 Todd Chrisley opens up about prison on his daughter's podcast. Savannah Chrisley/Youtube Since their release, the couple has been vocal about their time behind bars, even sitting down with their daughter Savannah Chrisley on her 'Unlocked' podcast on Tuesday. 'I was surrounded by miserable human beings,' Todd reflected about his time at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida. 'Every day, I got up and it was my sole intent to make their life even more miserable because they were there to make our lives miserable.' 9 Todd Chrisley gets candid on life behind bars. Savannah Chrisley/Youtube Julie agreed with her husband of 29 years, stating that the correctional officers are 'miserable human beings.' As Todd put it, 'They are not your friends. It's us against them.' The 'Chrisley Knows Best' alum went on to describe his mindset behind bars. 9 Todd Chrisley on the 'Unlocked' podcast. Savannah Chrisley/Youtube 'I think for me, I was always free. In my head, I was still free,' he explained. 'I did not take up residence there. I was in prison. Prison was not in me.' Todd made the most out of his time in the facility, sharing with listeners that he 'made great friends.' 'I stayed in faith. I prayed. I read my Bible. I worked out,' the patriarch continued. 'I walked. And I wreaked havoc on anyone who was mistreating somebody else.' 9 Julie Chrisley and Todd Chrisley. Instagram/@juliechrisley One person in particular was Rick Singer, the mastermind behind the 2019 'Varsity Blues' college admissions scandal that left more than 50 coaches, parents and associates of Singer's behind bars. The disgraced college admissions coach pleaded guilty in 2019 to racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the federal government and obstruction of justice, and is serving out the rest of his 42-month sentence in Pensacola. 'He was talking smack, saying that he didn't wear a wire. He never told on anyone. The Feds set him up and this, that and the other,' Todd detailed. 9 Todd Chrisley speaks during a news conference on Friday, May 30, 2025. AP With his remarks already rubbing the former USA Network star the wrong way, months later, Singer came back and made a comment about Savannah. 'So, I walked up to him and I said, 'I'm going to say this one more time,' Todd noted. 'I'm already in prison. I will rip your head off and s–t your neck if you talk about my child again.' And I meant what I said.' Singer said he wasn't scared of Todd, to which the entrepreneur replied, 'I don't need you to be afraid of me. Just be aware that if my daughter's name comes out of your mouth again, I will rip your head off and s–t down your neck.' 9 Julie Chrisley and Todd Chrisley. Julie Chrisley /Instagram Although Todd made the most of his days, his reality still hit him hard at times. 'I was angry at God,' he admitted during the ABC News special 'The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup' last week. 'And when I went to bed that night and the lights went out, I cried myself to sleep and I said, 'God, why are you allowing this?'' 'You don't realize the things that you took for granted until you don't have it,' he shared. 'So your freedom, your ability to go to church, your ability to go out to eat, you know, to stay in your bed all day, those things are taken from you, so when you have them back, it's a blessing.' 9 Todd and Savannah Chrisley. Getty Images Julie, meanwhile, spoke out about what she missed the most while serving her sentence. 'My children and my husband, you know, I missed birthdays and holidays and graduations and things that I can never get back.' The duo also reflected on coming home. When it came to Todd's first shower back in Nashville, the media personality joked to host Juju Chang that 'it was almost like your first sexual encounter.' 9 Faye Chrisley, Chase Chrisley, Todd Chrisley, Savannah Chrisley, Chloe Chrisley, Julie Chrisley, Grayson Chrisley, on 'Chrisley Knows Best.' USA Networks/Courtesy Everett Collection As for his first meal, Todd opted for Pizza Hut, while Julie chose the fast-food chain Zaxby's. In 2019, the two were indicted, with federal prosecutors accusing them of submitting fake documents to banks in order to garner more than $30 million in loans. They denied the allegations. Todd was sentenced to 12 years, while Julie received a seven-year sentence. 9 Julie Chrisley and Todd Chrisley pose together. Instagram/@juliechrisley They had not been allowed to see or talk to one another since reporting for prison in January 2023 until their release in May. Now, Todd and Julie are set to make their reality television comeback, with Savannah, 27, telling reporters outside her father's prison, 'We have a new show coming out on Lifetime, and it will document all of these things.'
