Bristol, Connecticut — On January 12, 2023, at approximately 9:17 a.m., 39-year-old Jimmie Shoemaker-Gonzalez carjacked a 2004 Dodge Durango from Hartford. During the incident, Shoemaker-Gonzalez swung a knife at the owner, cutting him in the forehead. Later that morning, while driving the stolen Durango in Farmington, Shoemaker-Gonzalez struck the blade of a DOT snowplow and lost control of the Durango. The vehicle ended up crashing into a fence and rock wall at the Westwood II Condominium Complex. Shoemaker- Gonzalez abandoned the Durango on the entry drive for the condominiums. At the Westwood II Condominium Complex, Shoemaker-Gonzalez unsuccessfully attempted to steal a Nissan Versa and carjack a Nissan Rogue. He successfully carjacked a Toyota RAV4.
In connection with taking the RAV4, Shoemaker-Gonzalez cut the owner with a knife. Farmington Police notified Bristol Police that the stolen Toyota RAV4 was heading into Bristol at high speed. Bristol dispatch advised units that the vehicle involved in the Farmington incident was a Toyota RAV4 that had been taken in a carjacking, possibly involving a knife. Bristol officers located the Toyota RAV4 at the Mountain Laurel Apartment Complex on Davis Drive, Bristol. At approximately 12:30 p.m., Sergeant Joshua Pratt observed the stolen Toyota RAV4 enter Davis Drive. He attempted to make a felony stop but Shoemaker-Gonzalez sped off. He drove onto the snow-covered grass of the complex, ultimately getting stuck against a guardrail. Shoemaker-Gonzalez exited the Toyota RAV4 and proceeded on foot into the complex’s grounds. Sergeant Pratt moved his cruiser to Quaker Lane, exited, and ran in the direction of Shoemaker-Gonzalez.
Also arriving on scene were Officer Scott McIntyre, Officer Zachary Levine, and Officer Seth Petzing. As officers pursued Shoemaker-Gonzalez, he was able to get around a building and enter Sergeant Pratt’s cruiser that was parked and running on Quaker Lane. When the other officers saw this, they approached the cruiser and ordered Shoemaker-Gonzalez to stop and get out of the cruiser. Officer Petzing also ran to Quaker Lane and saw Shoemaker-Gonzalez in the Bristol cruiser. Shoemaker-Gonzalez backed the cruiser out of its parking space and then turned to move forward. At this time, Officer Petzing was positioned on Quaker Lane south of the cruiser and slightly to its side. Officer Petzing fired four rounds at the cruiser as it drove past him. One round struck the front fender and three rounds struck the driver’s side door.
The rounds penetrated the door striking Shoemaker-Gonzalez in the middle finger of his right hand and both legs. Shoemaker-Gonzalez drove off narrowly missing a school bus and glanced off a building in the apartment complex. He then drove another 2.5 miles before crashing into Palma’s Diner on Stafford Street. At a hospital, testing showed that Shoemaker-Gonzalez had an .102 BAC and had tested positive for a cocaine metabolite, oxycodone and PCP. He was released from the hospital on Jan. 15, 2023, and placed in police custody. Shoemaker-Gonzalez had recently been released from jail and told investigators that he’d started doing drugs again. He claimed he didn’t remember most of the day and didn’t know why he went to Bristol. He also said he didn’t know why an officer shot him, “doubted that the officer had a good explanation†and said that he planned on filing a lawsuit against police.

Does this video have a part 2
GTA gameplay here, Stealing a cop car gives u a 5 star wanted level
Bristol is like the Wild West
Is that SOP to leave your car door open and car running around a carjacking victim? I think not
@debtfree_2024
How is somebody that bad at driving??
He stole the cop car
look how slow they are lmao and no that belt doesnt weight much to somebody that isnt obese lmaoooo
she had wheel omm
4:02 look how close he is to the jogger
The question I have is why the cop shot at the cop. When the suspect did post as a threat
Bristol ct stand up
Time for that cop to find a new profession. If your cruiser gets stolen like that it should be an automatic dismissal.
One of the baddest driver I've ever seen.
How does a cop let anyone steal his/her car? That is ridiculous. There is no excuse for not securing the vehicle before leaving it – even in an emergency situation.
Is this Bristol PA????😂
Perhaps locking the police car ? lol
Looser
All charges will be dropped and he'll get probation…..🙄
He’s very trusting of their salting job and that there’s no ice
These cops just don’t learn. You had plenty of space and that car was not aiming for you. You can’t just bust shots off if a vehicle is moving vaguely in your direction. They just don’t learn.
There is no reason for the cop to shot his gun like all he did was take the car and all he had to do was tell back to and chase him. Some cops just wanna shot cause they never use their gun smh
Is no one going to talk about how FAST the police offer ran straight from the beginning? 10/10 Agility
F the police ! Good for nothing
He passed 40-50 local businesses and that individual was the lucky one to get his store damaged. Crazy
3:36 there's no way in slippery conditions did they manage to do that unscathed!
shitty video
As a Floridian, I was anxious as soon as I saw them running in snow. I cant even run after it has rained outside. I bout' had a heart attack watching the thief drive
this footage needs warp stabilizer
Wow, I haven't seen a more terrifying driving, with so many close calls!!! 😮😮😮😮
The amount of times I slip and break my back in slush and snow…. is impressive how they managed not to in a chase…
4:03 runners pls stay away from the roads! ðŸƒâ€â™€ï¸
I'm sorry I know this is beyond serious but I busted out laughing when that person came out running from stolen cruiser. It looked like they were wearing all beige shorts and UGG boots 😂
What a loser
the criminals are so reckless
Last ride
Damnnnn perpetrator cannot drive for shit
Buddy need a ride?!
aahhaha aşırı komik video amk
Buddy need a ride?!
DAMN!!! 👀
What an ending! 😱
20 months later he's still in jail awaiting trial with $1.8MM bond.
Hillary ?? That why
Why don’t cop cars have remote kill switches? Dispatch could kill the engine before the vehicle speeds out of control
Lazy Trigger happy white boy cop unbelievable
People think Connecticut is all horses and cows and shit man listen, Ct hoods get wild like everywhere but lately Bristbeen wilden 😂
Congrats, you have stolen a GPS owned by the police.
