For regarding the pedestrian shock, the challenger I had on camera coming from that area at 257 had a tag for Adam Ida (number withheld), not the previously stolen tag that was advised.

Trader Joe's parking lot.
00:29
I made it down to the edge of the river where the gas line is.
00:32
I'm not seeing anything in the water or along the shoreline.
00:36
Clear, I made it to the edge of the river by gas line, not seeing anything on the shoreline or in the water.
00:40
I'm going to that this time.
00:41
There's no further update or anything as far as that vehicle's location, correct?
00:45

01:22
Blackmail, Trader Joe's parking lot, two-fits.
01:24

01:30

01:31
He is going that way right now.
01:33
If you have a unit available, can you start from my way? That's correct.
01:37
Yeah, I'm clear. We have two things going on in one.
01:39
Does Arctic have eyes on the suspect vehicle from the pursuit? Day three, can you start in the day one?
01:45
I have background, say again.
01:46
Can you start into day one for traffic?
01:48
That's correct. Harvey Ford, not currently.
01:49
And again, the tag on the vehicle I saw after it was called out was for Adam Ida (number withheld) on a black challenger.
01:56
Not the stolen tag that was advised.
01:58
I don't know where that came from.
01:59
But just have T.HB advise if this is the vehicle or not.
02:01
Yes, sir, I'm working on it.
02:02
Confirm the tag no concern.
02:03
That's 1151.
02:04

02:06
One fire covered, I'm going to info.
02:08
Clear. I'm raised.
02:09
The call on is responding to speak.
02:11
Hey, I apologize. I thought you would five second close it out.
02:13
I hope it'll be reopened.
02:14
It'll be a full cross phone tag.
02:16

02:18

We just had two challengers in the same area at the same time.
02:23
Roll TSP, they got a unit going hot north on Lake Highway.
02:27

02:28

02:38

02:48
I don't see anything except.
02:49
Copy.
02:50
Clear, 1038.
02:51
I'm clear. 25, does he still need additional? 27, do you still need additional?
02:55
13, his camp is empty for now.
02:58
That's negative this time. Camp is in.
02:59
Clear. Okay.
03:00
We've got, I'm clear.
03:01
We have very garbled speech, unable to hit exactly what.
03:04
Okay, 40, you should be back in that's lost? Yeah.
03:06
Yes, ma'am. Cards of 25 will be out of Greenway, the airman.
03:10
Okay. 12-07. 12.7, I'm clear.
03:11
Harder for on Baker.
03:12
Pretty four.
03:13
Three-four.
03:14
If you switch to Baker, Roll.
03:15
Party 4.
03:16
Hey, I just want to confirm exactly where you saw that vehicle.
03:18
It was south down on South Forks Avenue, correct?
03:20
Two free, go ahead.
03:21
To be advised, the last statement on the call was throw everything in the water.
03:25
The email was distraught.
03:26
As far as the speaker suit, make sure Cleveland PD is clear on it.
03:29
That vehicle's got several LPR hits.
03:31
In Cleveland, off Paul Huff, Parkway.
03:33
I'm clear the tag is 438.
03:35
It's displayed on this calendar on the LPR hits.
03:37
I'm clear. I advise Charlie Dispatch to update units.
03:41
That will be a different challenger that happened to be in the area at the same time.
03:45
It was just playing a different tag.
03:47
I have not seen the suspect vehicle past 5,400 Brainer Road.
03:51
So somewhere between where it struck a pedestrian and 5,400 Brainer Road, it disappeared.
03:56
Pothley said, help me in the middle of the call.
03:59
Okay. Clear. The mall again.
04:01
No, I'm clear. So we have an unknown direction of travel at this point.
04:04
Do we have an ETN fire boat or any other boat? Okay.
04:09
Okay. Okay. Clear, sir.
04:10
Seventy told me just to put them on standby, they are aware, but we do not need a boat at this time for Adam Indiana unless you all tell me otherwise.
04:16
13. 13. So check the gas line, from the gas line towards east towards downtown, Long River ain't located nothing.
04:23
Can the drone check out the power line? I haven't had a chance down there yet.
04:26
Ardick 4 knows down correct.
04:27
7. Are you clear? Correct.
04:30
Charlie 2031. Over here. Ardick 4 on Baker?
04:33
Copy. Ardick, you're still on Tarlet.
04:34
Maybe we can get a number for them and call them and ask them if they see anything.
04:37
That's correct.
04:38
Okay. Do you know who it belongs to? It rates right by 24.
04:43
Three, I'm out here.
04:44
Copy, do you know who it belongs to? Clear.
04:47
Hold on a lookout.
04:48
Project 4 on Baker.
04:49
70 with your shit.
04:50
Article 4, can you switch to Baker?
04:51
Article 4. See if that's going to be a THP helicopter and if it's involved in that pursuit.
04:56
If that's going to be that private helicopter,
04:59
I'm not sure that we couldn't.
05:02
I'm not sure we've got a number for them or not.
05:04
Can you advise the time that you saw the vehicle pass 5,400 Brainerd?
05:08
And I think that's going to be the helicopter.
05:09
It's 4,2,3, 551, (number withheld).
05:13
Copy. You know that advised LPR Heads and Bradley?
05:16
I just said the vehicle never passed Brainer's.
05:19
It was a different challenger that happened to be in the area, just playing a different tag.
05:22
The tag we have was put out by THP, and it's that stult tag, the Skull and Crossbones tag with Keel-Cierra.
05:28
If we're going.
05:29
Two, three, you got timeline for when it hit and rattling?
05:32
I'm clear. You just advised that you didn't see it turn southbound down Brooks, but you last saw it passed 5,400 Brainerd, so somewhere between 5,400 and the Walmart, correct? They're super late.
05:43
They're not recent. The vehicle is just parked around a month ago, Paul Huff Parkway, Northwest.
05:52
It's parked there consistently.
05:53
Probably lives there. Okay. It never passed the camera at 5,400 Brainer.
05:58
A different vehicle did.
05:59
So somewhere between the PetStruck and where my camera is, it went somewhere else.
06:05
I'm clear.
06:06
Adam 70 and Day Adam 10.
06:08
The private helicopter said it's not theirs.
06:10
PHP is not aware of theirs being in the air either.
06:13
7. It's private helicopter out of Georgia.
06:16
It's not the one that's over there off the intense district.
