There's a church directly behind this house.
00:03
They have a six-foot privacy fence.
00:06
You might be able to park in that church and get eyes on the back door from that park plant.
00:10
Okay.
00:16
Cross 214 to the units on the scene, considering the information that's in the CAD, we're going to go ahead and back off a little bit on the location,
00:24
and then we'll get on the line with the OD, and we'll pull from there.
00:28
We're clear,
00:31
sir.
00:34
We're still trying to determine if he has a hostage, huh?
00:42
We're clear on that, but also in the CAD it says the information of the cab, so.
00:53
249 will relocate my vehicle to Sherman Drive and Pleasant Run Parkway South Drive.
00:57
I'll be able to keep a long eye on the front door, the residence.
01:01
214, do you want any visibility in our cars? I'm Sherman.
01:05
Okay, that's fine.

01:39
If you want to get to that church parking lot and link up with 239.
01:50
239's on the back, I've got eyes on a window and the door, but the produce fence isn't scaring some of it.

02:29
I'm not trying to be a dead horse, but it looked like (name withheld), I believe,
02:36
called in.
02:37
And he was the one that was making those stretch.
02:39
Do we know what phone number he called in on?
02:42
Dispatch said that person never gave a name.
02:46
I do, I think the phone number's in the run though, but someone said that that was (name withheld)'s phone number, so I'm a little confused.
02:56
Okay, and the emails that I have here are related to (name withheld) are saying that (name withheld) does not have a phone.
03:02
So if he is calling it, it's probably from (name withheld)'s phone.
03:06
Okay, then (name withheld)'s phone number is in the CAD.
03:13
Protiles 214-Phee, but SWAT supervisor, T-act me please.

03:34
Okay, nice.
03:40
249, 243, go to two.
03:46
We're going to use an arrest team, so we can either do or you guys can come to us.
03:51

03:58
See if it confirms suspect.
04:00

04:05
The suspect at the front door appear to be (name withheld).
04:10
He's got the F6 warrant in the run.
04:13
He'll always have the blackmail with a gray shirt.
