No name or photo in the "FULL STORY". Gee, I wonder why.
"He might be familiar with the area"...as the driver goes down a dead end and turns around. Are they even watching?
Just as they said, THEN he went down another dead end and just sat there!
They just confuse the viewers with there nonsense commentary. 10 seconds in to the video I knew the women was just going to be asking rediculous questions.
*woman *ridiculous
Has the nerve to shittalk an anchor but does not know the difference between woman/women and cannot spell correctly🤣🤣🤣@@timb7775
@@timb7775 this is why you cant listen to the media anymore
they do a lot of talking about not knowing anything. i suppose they are paid to do that.
I'm just going to throw this out there:
Once someone has intentionally hit multiple vehicles... doesn't that seem like the kind of time to bring deadly force into the discussion???
City policies don’t allow it
@@SunTingWong I totally understand that it doesn't. I'm saying it should.
@@johnabbottphotographyedit your comment
They knew it had bulletproof glass. Still doesn't explain why they didn't have tons of spike strips laid out with the 5 minute break in a dead end culdesac. Maybe it had run flat tires too. Seems like a solid choice for a temporary escape vehicle since it took the literal earth to stop it
Dude is very very dangerous💯
Worst i have seen!!!
Can't even imagine the cost of all that.
GRAPPLER POLICE BUMPER
Can't imagine the cost savings with this thing.
priceless content cheaper than hollywood
@@knguyen6061 lol, the police car would have been a used as a sling blade being dragged, look up the F550 before you make comments like that..
@@ljmorris6496 that's okay.The 550 police truck can handle it. Saving lives is the obvious objective here. Not tailgating,tagging along
@@knguyen6061 What F550 police truck?, this is the truck police call to move vehicles out of the highway....
Broadcasters didn't put enough emphasis on how big this truck is. They weren't being more aggressive to block it in because they couldn't. We saw it push multiple SUVs out of the way at the same time.
It’s a light duty wrecker based on a one ton chassis. Probably weighs around 6-7 thousand compared to the police cruiser around 4k.
Department policy probably doesn’t allow them to regardless.
That's pathetic. Entire police force can't stop a 1 ton tow truck smashing multiple victims along the way for 20 minutes. What kind of thinking is this?
@@practicalguy973 So how would you stop a car that's heavier and more powerful than yours? Until the wheels are popped I only think a bearcat could stop it.
You’re stupid
This guy is using deadly force towards civilians and law enforcement is just watching. The AG's office is to blame
One of these "law and order" do rights, you probably want cops to cap anyone going 5 over the limit..
@@ljmorris6496I appreciate you letting us know how ignorant you are right off the bat, saved us all a lot of time that we wouldn’t spent arguing with you
Hmm defend the police hows that working for ya

Quiet little wanna be thug.
Biden's Border Crisis is destroying America
According to initial reports, Lanuza struck 13 vehicles and two law enforcement cars, all transported to area hospitals with minor injuries.
Lanuza is currently being treated at Suburban Hospital for his injuries. According to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore office, Lanuza is in the country illegally. Due to the crimes committed on February 16, an immigration detainer was issued on Monday. The detainer was launched with Montgomery County Detention Center, where he will be incarcerated following his released from the hospital.
And he will be back on the streets the next day because he’s an legal and that’s OK
Altogether now; THANK YOU "PRESIDENT" BIDEN FOR KEEPING THE BORDER OPEN AND ALLOWING CRIMINALS AND MENTALLY DEFICIENT BORDER CROSSERS INTO OUR ONCE FREE COUNTRY! How the hell can Biden and his anti-American partners sleep at night?
"The suspect knows the area"... as he's entering a dead end
and he entered another dead end soon afterwards to lol
Why didn't they try a spike strip when he first moved after being stopped for a while?
They have to be able to get in front of him to do it, which means that they have to know which direction he's going and figure out how to get ahead.
Plus, that beast was shoving cars out of the way like they were empty wooden barrels.
@@MellowMaromi You were NOT WATCHING. He was on a CUL DE SAC a dead end road. He had to turn around and come back out the same way. DUH.
Yeah I was wondering the same. They had plenty of time to set them up I would think.
Also depends if spike strips are allowed. some agencies don't use them anymore.
They did put a spike strip out when he was in that culdesac for 5 minutes. When he started moving again and went past the police cars, you can see that his driver's side ran over a spike strip at 15:03 in the video.
The lady talking head....clueless unless she's reading a prepared script.
Just delete your last six words for greater accuracy
Studio people need to shut up! They add nothing after the 1st 30 seconds.
She is exposed as the mindless bimbo she is. I love it.
Out of all the people police shoot and they dont shoot this direct threat to the public?
So they should shoot at a moving wrecker while it's smashing through traffic?
Or do you think that the cop cars that you watched with your working face eyes get pushed out of the way are actually able to stop the damn thing and they're just choosing to get pushed out of the way on purpose because "weeeee, so fun!"
LIBERALS want a Pathetic Force instead of a Police Force!
@@MellowMaromiYes!!! Kansas City cops don't play. They would have fired at least 120 shots
Maryland police cannot use deadly force unless the driver is using other means to kill someone besides the vehicle.
@@MellowMaromi He was sitting still for a good 5 minutes.
I miss the days when cops were allowed to unalive people like this…people that have no regard for anyone else’s life but their own! Look at the damage he has done to multiple people’s vehicles and what injuries do they have that may impact them for the rest of their lives because of this drivers stupidity and recklessness. Just another waste of breath in my opinion!
goofball euphemisms were not in vogue back when the police would shoot someone like this. do there is that.
PREACH it, AMEN!! The reporter was as plain as you can be; " Who knows what's inside the truck?"
I see where you're coming from but there's a lot we don't know. He deserves a fair trial in a court of law, not death
Can he be charged a hit and run for each vehicle he hit? They should.
You can add refusing to stop and render aide, using a vehicle as a deadly weapon etc…
They probably will be charged with dozens of counts but ultimately it will be pled down to a few, or one, and they’ll be out again before the body shops can get these cars fixed.
They biggest charges will probably be from hitting police cars. They won’t care that much about the innocent civilians that were hit.
probably several hit and runs as well as several counts of vehicular assaults to name a few
5:35 5:36
Newscasters just blindly spewing words to something they don’t understand is annoying.
If you're going to flee in the dark at least turn off the flashers!😂
😂😂😂😂
HE IS ARMED.... WITH AN EFFING 13000 POUND TRUCK!
Yes. 🤬 Criminal.
It’s probably around 6-7 with a tow rating around 10k.
Still a good point.👍
@@SunTingWong You know that tow boom on the back can pick up semis for short distances but yeah 7k lbs..🙄
@@SunTingWong 10k tow rating? It's a super duty! Even the F-150 has a 14,000lb tow rating! The curb weight of the F550 DRW 84" cab-to-axle for that generation is 7949lbs. Add about 400lbs for a full tank of diesel if it has the dual tanks. Add 1500lbs for the service body (probably a low estimate). And probably 300lbs of additional gear, 200lbs driver let's say. That's going to put it at around 10,300lbs. It's rated to tow 18,500lbs for a conventional hitch tow, by the way. 31,600lbs for gooseneck/fifth wheel.
@user-bg7km4ij7f It’s a heavy duty truck idiot! Stay in your lane.
“The cars are sensing that something is wrong “ 😂
lol, that was funny, them are smart cars.
If there’s ever a time to end a pursuit by any means necessary, this is the time.
I really don’t understand law enforcement in this country, they do the dumbest things sometimes.
ASP will do a pit on a woman that’s driving the speed limit after being lit up for only 40 seconds. and will try to stop any vehicle regardless of the original crime, by any means necessary.
Then we have these guys when they have a clear and present deadly threat engaging civilians and police they “stand down”!!!??? Like what?? Seriously?? End the pursuit! He even stopped for a few minutes and as soon as he started driving again they would be more than justified to use deadly force! Absolutely absurd! It’s ridiculous!
Love ASP videos they don’t care how fast your going they take you out. California oh they can only pit you between 30 and 50.
"I really don’t understand law enforcement in this country, they do the dumbest things sometimes."
It all makes sense if you remember this one little thing. Police prioritize their own safety, and the safety of their fellow officers above ALL else.
The ASP will PIT a seemingly harmless driver after only a few seconds because they don't pose any physical or legal threat to them.
The Maryland police won't do anything to a psychopath who's rampaging through the streets in a giant truck destroying civilian property because he could potentially harm or kill a police officer, or the officer's actions while trying to stop said suspect could get them into legal trouble. So instead they just sit back and wait for the guy to stop or get stuck, that way he can't ram into them anymore.
Remember, the Police are NOT legally obligated to protect you!
That Ford SuperDuty is SuperCrashworthy.
I guess it fits Ford's slogan, "Built Ford Tough"....
It had extra crash stuff in the front. Hardly straight from the dealer.
Once again the criminal survives...sad,,,
Matt's off-road/off the rails recovery!
xD
Spent too much time watching the crew rescue idiots
I dont understand why government vehicles don't have remote immobilizers installed on them - that would solve this problem very quickly and prevent it from getting further out of hand. If low-rent car dealership can put them on the crap cars they finance to poor people, why cant the government equip its vehicles - its just common sense
That's a slippery slope. Regardless of the flaws inherent with this idea, the main problem will always circle back to giving the government too much control in the name of "national security." If you don't think the gov doesn't want China's social credit score system in the USA you got a few screws loose, as they practically already employ it it's just not in your face like in China.
That aside, the immediate flaws with your plan and the one I had involving chipping your actual drivers license like key-fob, there are too many millions of cars out there that would have to be retrofitted with this system. Since every car will need it, there are going to be a LOT of people that know exactly how to get around it or disable it (criminals). On top of that you will have a likely large portion of the population outright refusing to let it be installed in their classic car or whatever. The solution would be to not let them drive until they comply but they will ignore it and it'll be a giant 'rights violation' of some kind. It's actually not any different than trying to take away a 2nd amendment lovers guns...try it and see what happens. Just like with cars, there's simply too many of them out there already to do anything about it without violating someones rights.
RFID tie your license to an 'allow list' at the DMV, eliminating internet hacking possibilities but still prone RFID skimmers and just using someone else's legal card to start the car. Lots of positives but just as equally lots of negatives.
How crazy and brain-sick someone must be to have fun stealing a car like that and putting other people in danger. Lock the weirdo away
Then the council members who vote on that type of stuff wouldn't be able to go on 12 vacations a year
I don’t know how well those devices would work on this big old Dually.
When reporters don't have a script, they prove how stupid they are
Reporters no longer are hired to tell the truth, they are paid to upsell a brand according to how it wants to be represented.
fact
You don’t sound very bright either 😂
When viewers post asinine comments….proving stupidity.
True,just like Trump, lol!😂
This is what happens when you play too much GTA 5
Mf even started driving on the wrong side of the road like it was gta 😂
Crazy, that’s what I was thinking.
a hug and a free meal and then sent home as he will say he identifies as a traffic pylon and not a criminal
You can bet he will plea liberal.
And you identifies as a moron and an idiot. Your mother should have an abortion.
“Identifies as a traffic pylon?” Ma’am you may be delusional 😂 There’s help for that.
It's wild to me, growing up Republican with a Republican father and watching how lenient the Republican-lead Oklahoma laws were growing up in regards to his 12 DUI's and the fact that he brutalized 11 little girls. He's conservative and he even became a trusted inmate and preacher in prison.
Y'all are perfectly fine with Republican states that cater to child harmers and habitual drunks, and only upset when Democrats do the exact same.
@@encinobalboaExactly like how my dad plead "good conservative Christian who fell into sin." And the church agreed so much that they referred to us at 8 years old as "Lot's Daughters," because when Daddy can't resist Daughter, it's Daughter's fault for being seductive and female and in biological urge mating vicinity. It's completely natural, as long as the man never looks at boys as well.
A big THANK YOU to WISA for posting this. You have to love the Internet for allowing us to see what's going on beyond our media market's coverage area.
Dude wanted that 5 star wanted level so bad😂😂😂...no fucks given
He's a numnut.
In all of those vehicles that were hit I hope there weren’t any children in there 😢 and hopefully no one was hurt!
That is why we had 29 hwy blocked
Officers??????.....USE YOUR TIRE IRON ! ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!! What the heck man ! ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!
He was obviously at 2 stars. They start shooting at 3 stars or if he unalives a civilian.
A special thanks to the person who invited the mute button.
truth
The dude's name is Flavio Cesar Lanuza if anyone is wondering.
10:00 he literally go's into a culdisac and drives back out right by 2 cruisers....
I blame the police for a the crashes. Arkansas would have ended it after the first time he rammed the police car.
Don't blame the police; blame the mandated rules of engagement enacted by politicians.
@@LarryWhited-k6m 100% correct.
If any one of the cops only had some type of firearm (and ammo), they might have been able to stop him.
The truck had bulletproof glass genius
Or spike strips😮
Maryland police cannot shoot at a driver unless he’s using means other than the vehicle to hurt someone.
@@rogueninja1685there's no such thing, maybe in Hollywood, windows with "bullet proof" glass will eventually fail, with enough rounds, most are just rated for lower caliber for X amount of shots
In all my 59 years of living, never have I seen a person have such disregard for the lives of other human beings!
Is this your first day on the internet? Have you been in a coma, at least for the last 4 years?
And it will continue if Joe is put back in office again. He already has blood on hid hands. Don't vote for JOE!!!
Wow the officers were BRAVE to approach the truck not knowing if the suspect was armed!! Back the blue!!
The law is too lenient on such lunatics, if it wasn't, we wouldn't watch such impunity
4:22 that driver in the front that stopped must have thought they were pulling them over
Why don't gov owned vehicles have a remote gps kill switch thing.
Idiot in the newsroom as truck goes off road to avoid police cars: "This is obviously intentional,"
"The truck is stolen."
"We are following what appears to be a police pursuit."
"They know where going." (Immediately after the guy ran into a dead end)
Brilliant editing! Let's cut to something that happened earlier just as it's coming to an end. Bravo! 🤪
Thanks sherlock! We would have never been able to figure that out if you hadn't told us. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
The driver of this stolen tow truck is named Cesar Flavio Lanuza from the South American country of Nicaragua.
Wait...this isn't happening in Los Angeles or Houston??
The innate drivel they use to fill in the time is exhausting
Took cops long enough, geez! All that opportunity esp when he was sitting alone on that road. He'd still be driving hitting more cars if he didn't stop on his own.
Maybe this is when officers can use their firearms.
Oh he’s an illegal invader? What a f ing shock.
they're chasing Cooter in his tow truck. LOL
Congressman Ben Collin’s?🤣🤣
Invention - random road stop vehicles.
Vehicles with spike strip and road stop capabilities and possibly random vehicle owners that could also volunteer to have their vehicles fitted with road stop capabilities. Including chocking devices that could stop a big truck
10 years per car . next level p.o.s.
Cops looked silly and helpless
You would think that after this criminal did all this car bashing, that the cops would blast this guy before he hurts somebody. Looks like the police are failing. Unbelievable.
This is what happens when you have complacent cops who do absolutely nothing. Vote Democrat to enable criminals and drug addicts!
Or vote Republican to keep people in poverty to commit crimes like this...
Why can't officers break glass more easily? This is just stupid!
Add one year of incarceration for every vehicle hit.
Peak Maryland driver.
Yup crazy lives everywhere 😅
These cops are incompetent and should be sued.
If they used deadly force? The AG would sue them!
Arkansas State Police would've shut this down , quite aggressively/ professionaly warranted; I imagine.
Wish more would follow suit, even in the slightest way.
Hope everyone in crossfire was okay & had paid up insurance . 😬
Very dangerous!!
Top of line News Crew here. If there isn’t a script someone cut thier mics.
How is it criminals can smash thru a window in a fraction of a second but the cops can't? So ridiculous.
So what happened? I just saw everyone milling about. Did they arrest him, shoot him, did he shoot himself? Did I miss something?
Jeez this guy's a real jerk.
The new district attorney doesn't want to charge people for these crimes
Was he BLLAAATTTTTT ?!!
Or maybe he wuz just seeking asylum
"Hey I need an extract"
"2hrs out. gonna be awhile"
Front facing flashing red on a tow truck? Is that normal over there? In California you can only use amber lights for utility vehicles even city owned. Caltrans can use rear facing blues though
Thats what I was thinking
The laws normally only apply to vehicles driving in traffic. Stopped vehicles engaged in emergency services are exempt.
Here in Oklahoma, our city utility trucks tend to have the red white and blue lights like cops.
I lived in California for a while and got used to those amber lights, and when we just recently moved back to Oklahoma, I'd forgotten that they had them here and we kept thinking we had to pull over (husband grew up in California and this is first time out of state).
It's interesting to me how they seem to differ from state to state.
its a Maryland state recovery and rescue truck. They are state owned and patrol the highway to remove disabled vehicles in accidents to keep the highways flowing. They are considered emergency vehicles thus permitted to have flashing reds. Other states will have similar trucks as well and is becoming more and more common.
Maryland State Police are a joke. So glad I left
They let this chase go to long
I've watched shamefully over 50 car chases and NEVER seen one where a police vehicle got hit like that before. I immediately thought when he made that u turn in the gas station and hit that squad car that he should gps himself to the police station to save himself from getting his 🍑 beat.
What the cops want someone else killed
jeez man. worst police chase in USA History.
He must have thought he had more fuel than all the others & a chopper. The cops were content driving around in circles so it’s possible they could run out of fuel. He believed in himself, he showed commitment & patience, he had a great plan. All that time & those miles, all those police cars 🚔 & a helicopter 🚁 then a small patch of mud appeared & ruined everything!
Hope you do a follow up. Thanks.
Put it in a prison for 50 years
Listening to TV reporters doing a play by play newscast is so funny.
get what you voted for
If this is an emergency response vehicle, might they be listening to police band radio and therefore hearing what the plan is? Also, hitting a police car is Assault with a Deadly Weapon on Police. He's toast!
4:30 Another idiot cop fails to block correctly.
The cops are inept
Whose going to pay for the hospital bills of those that were hurt ? And also for the cars that were destroyed?
8:58 ...went all the way to 5 stars.
Lock him up, heck lock the person this vehicle assigned to
Adam Longo should know how the communication business works... rudely interrupting and talking over Lesli and Lorenzo... chill, Adam! You'll get your airtime!
News anchors... ugh... This is a 8900 to 9300 pound veh with re-enfroced push bumpers... The police: 3400 to 3800 pound vehicles designed for speed... These officers and troopers aren't "letting" this guy by, they are not wanting to be rammed and moved off the road and be disabled.. This guy has the upper hand until law enforcement brings in a heavier vehicle or the suspect makes a driving mistake..
Geico gonna be busy
Cops let this person wreck many more cars than they should have.
Who is responsible for the repairs to the civilian vehicle?
This went by me at around 5:30ish when I was driving from Silver Spring to College Park.
Wow
Very lucky they didn’t plow into you like other vehicles
wow, cool. can i get your autograph?
@@napoleonrickybobbyabsolutely, I just need your SSN and mother’s maiden name.
Crashed into several cars and police might as well be sitting on their asses eating popcorn. They did not even try to stop this.
Those police officers could've stopped the stolen truck towards the beginning of this whole thing, instead of allowing the driver of it to cause all of that damage. I didn't see the police use any spike strips, nor did I see the police use any good strategy to pin it on all four sides. The owners of the non-police autos should be allowed to sue the involved law enforcement agencies for allowing the stolen truck to continue for as long as it did.
Are you dumb that is considered a mini train! How a police car or suv going to stop a heavy duty towing road side assistance truck! They have policies and laws they have to abide with.
That truck was pushing police SUVs out of the way like they were made out of paper. Police weren't blocking him in because they literally couldn't stop him. Their vehicles weren't big enough.
@@JohnDoe-jv8tk If those police officers truly wanted to block him in, then they could've. They could've trapped him on all four sides, and then doubled-up their vehicles on all four sides. It could've worked, but the police seemed to be treating it as a high speed chase, where they would just let the driver go and get him later, which was a major mistake. The police in this case played way too much 'cat with mouse'.
The police did their best under this dangerous circumstance.
@@regismonkton no they couldn't, this truck is obviously made to get SUVs off the highway as quickly as possible..
While he was blocked...they could have crippled the truck by 🔫 the tires??? UGH.
"Not sure if were gonna cut away" why? Examples must be made here.
It's not boring enough when you see it in California. Now we need to see this in Maryland. Oh I could see so many accidents now and a lot of fumbling the ball playing around , dragging it out that dumb crap should stay in california , where it belongs. We don't need that nonsense over here and the east coast.
Möchte eins mal Wissen wer bezahlt die ganzen Autos die Er Rammt
Not one of the news anchors seemed to notice. At the end, police used deadly force. You can see the man doubled over in the truck as they prepare to enter and pull him out. Then, once on the ground, police rush and grab a medical bag. The officer distributes some gloves to fellow officers and they render medical aid. That has to mean they shot him. If not, I'd be very surprised.
No, read the article they posted.
"The chase happened through multiple jurisdictions. The ordeal ended around 6:30 p.m. in the area of Silver Spring when the vehicle stopped in a wooded area, and officers aggressively smashed the windows with batons and forcefully removed the driver.
The suspect was taken to an area hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening, according to the Montgomery County Department of Police."
@@Devil914I missed that, thank you 🙂
Unlicensed, Uninsured, and UNDOCUMENTED from Nicaragua....🤔
This is insane allowing so many cars to be hit powerpoles damaged and police cars totalled and no proper way to stop this criminal activity. Near presidential city. Scary.
That’s very poor driving. On a rare occasion someone may miscalculate the width between two cars or the width between a car and a fixed object and perhaps brush against something. Here you have very poor driving because you have a tow truck driver who brushes against multiple vehicles.
