Police dash camera video shows a fleeing shooting suspect narrowly dodge other cars before crashing a stolen vehicle in Grand Rapids. Theodore Little, 35, was arrested and charged with 11 felonies after the April 28 mile-long chase through the city’s West Side, which police said reached estimated speeds of 70-75 mph along Fulton Street, where the speed limit is 25 and 30 mph. Little was driving a red Mazda — allegedly stolen from a Kentwood business where he is accused of groping a woman — when police cruisers swarmed his car at a red light at Fulton Street and Monroe Avenue NW.
Dash camera video shows Little hanging his arm and head out the car as Officer Nathan Fynewever shouts commands to him. The Mazda takes off when traffic clears, colliding with a cruiser that attempted to block it. No one was injured. Fynewever catches up with the suspect during the mile-long chase. The officer’s in-car video shows the Mazda weaving in and out of traffic, passing cars in the lane for oncoming vehicles and running for red lights. The chase continues to where the road bends toward Lake Michigan Drive. Little loses control on the bend and the car begins to fishtail. He overcorrects due to an oncoming car, causing the Mazda to run up an embankment near Valley Avenue NW, the video shows.
The Mazda hits a tree and slides back down onto the sidewalk. No other vehicles were hit in the process. Before he was put in handcuffs, Little tossed a cell phone and pistol out the car window. Police said he did not threaten officers with the weapon. He’s accused of shooting his girlfriend, 27-year-old Daphanie Joiner, at a Mason Street NE apartment the morning of April 28. She was expected to recover from the wound to her neck. About 30 minutes before the chase, Little allegedly held up Specialized Staffing Solutions, 3128 28th St. SE, in Kentwood. Police said he ordered two female workers into separate rooms, forcing one to disrobe and fondling the other. He is charged with attempted murder, fleeing and eluding police, carrying a concealed weapon, three counts of felony firearm, possession of weapon by a felon, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, armed robbery and unlawful imprisonment. He is charged as a fourth-time habitual offender.

where s f shooting?
He fled with no regard for others, absolutely no compassion for there fellow man.
He was sentenced to 25 to 75 years for his various charges.
Why run if you're not on a bike…? How dumb.
I have a hilarious comment, but it's decidedly racist, so I'm going to sit here and giggle about it to myself.
Good job officers but that lady needs to go back to training I think
Good job police
Was the cow saying "I'm gonna blow your brains out, I'm gonna blow your brains out!"?
what a good boy huh. very well behaved. deserves a raise.
another black man. very shocked
Did she hold her gun to his head when he was down and dint move? No right?
the person in the other car is thinking "oh crap bro I got warrants" let's get the hell out of here!!!!!
He's a shooting suspect, and they didn't shoot him. But never drive at night with no headlights they will kill you for that.
tyrone biggums sure is a terrible driver.
Are you allowed to put the gun directly on a suspects head like that? where do yall get trained?? atleast he was taken without another shooting
Lol, why is that one cop still holding a gun to his head after he's been cuffed?
women are to emotional to have a gun..they don't react right
did that bitch really just hold a gun to his head like a thug?
I'm not defending the crook or anything but where is it ok in the police handbook to press a gun directly to their head while they are handcuffed? And its not like she couldn't have gotten a clear shot from 6 inches away
Maryland State police has blue on the driver side and red on passenger. I thought that was normal until watching more police videos and noticed the majority of other departments have it vice versa
0:46 … is that necessary or even legal? Holding a loaded cocked gun to a handcuffed persons head is acceptable now? Not just pointing it at him but putting the barrel against the back of his skull execution style. Hope that stupid bitch gets fired. Im a huge supporter of cops but that is fucking ridiculous. He threw all his shit out of the window as soon as he could, got out hands up and complied with all orders. Maybe she was doing it so he didnt grab for a gun? Well….The handcuffs were on by 0:57 indicated by the officers releasing tension and one getting off yet she continued to hold the barrel against him till the video is cut… in fear of what, he might grow a 3rd arm and grab for a gun? For a police officer who supposedly went through a good bit of training, she needs to learn some gun safety and a little bit of self restraint.
Lol that chick was fucking ready to blow his brains out
Their red and blue lights are on opposite sides compared to most departments around the nation. Interesting
The Civic be like: ohh shiiiit, unpaid parking tickets!
Its a fact when there are more minorities that get arrested then white people, i dont get why people get mad or say thats racist or that itnis false.
