Responding units, there will be a male subject outside of the vehicle waving his arms trying to flag somebody down.
00:43
Just let me know if I need to pay you off fire.
00:57
Responding officers, I have a caller on 911 advising he picked up the male subject.
01:02
He's going to get off of 255 and stop on new POG.

I believe they're both still unseen now.
02:44
Time for.
02:49
A phone with a complaint that he's pulled over on NewPoke.
02:52
The subject that he pulled over sounds like he's hallucinating.
02:58
If you want to expedite, I'm still staying on the phone with the caller.
03:02
However, the male in the background is telling him to pull over, and he has already pulled over.

Also, 85 is stuck in the ditch, so he's not going to meet en route to NewPoke.

68, you're lone number 3.
04:04
And just rear 43, they got off New Pogue,

255 southbound, off ramp.
04:15
Clear. Are they stopped on the off-ramp or are they getting on the interstate?
04:19
They are off of 255 on New Pogue, but they exited southbound.
04:25
So they're southbound, south of 255,
04:31
or they took the southbound exit to get to New Pogue.
04:34
So they are on New Pogue.

So they are on New Pogue.
