- On the night of January 4, just before midnight, Deputy Christopher Murphy was conducting patrols in the W-Section of Palm Coast when he observed a male, later identified as Michael McDermott, 38, on the sidewalk alongside Pine Lakes Parkway standing next to a bicycle on the ground. Deputy Murphy attempted contact with McDermott, but McDermott picked up the bike and began to ride away.
Deputy Murphy activated his emergency lights and attempted a traffic stop on McDermott. McDermott appeared to comply, slowing down enough for Deputy Murphy to stop and exit his car, only to then pedal quickly away, turning onto Westminster Drive.
Deputy Murphy got back into his patrol vehicle and attempted to catch up with McDermott. As Deputy Murphy turned onto Westminster Drive, he observed McDermott pulling a firearm out of his pants. Deputy Murphy, fearing that McDermott would engage him with the firearm, struck McDermott with his vehicle, ejecting him from the bicycle and causing him to drop the firearm.
Deputy Murphy then secured McDermott without further incident with the assistance of Deputy Michael Anderson, who had arrived as backup within seconds of the incident.
A 9-millimeter Ruger firearm was recovered near McDermott, who was found wearing a holster for the weapon.
McDermott was arrested for Assault or Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Fleeing and Eluding, Resisting an Officer with Violence, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. He was transported to AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway due to a minor injury to his right ankle. After being treated and released, he was taken to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.
McDermott has an extensive arrest history in Flagler County since 2013 and prior to his arrest had been released from the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on December 17, 2024, after serving a 90-day sentence for Possession of Fentanyl.
“The job that a Deputy Sheriff does to proactively protect our community is a dangerous one, and deputies must often make split-second decisions,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “In this instance, Deputy Murphy was forced to make a split-second decision in a dangerous encounter with an armed felon. This incident could have taken a deadly turn, and I am thankful that the situation was quickly resolved before that became a reality.”

Cop was jamming to Cyndi Lauper 😂
Cops just wanna have fun
Lol Boys just wanna have fun
He has a boyfriend
That’s what I noticed 😂😂
i heard that! i listen to almost everything!
I never trust anybody who uses the word BRO in everyday conversation
Ah shit bro 😓
NOTHING like Pitting a bike with Cyndi Lauper singing in the BAckground!
That hit different dinnit🤣
Hahahaha
He pulled a gun, cop pulled a bumper
😂🤣
Cop pulled a Setina.
@@MEMAONE Good Song!
He didn't pull a gun.
@@ricksomething taking a gun outta your pocket to throw in the weeds while being chased by the cops is still pulling a gun
You don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, and you don’t bring a bike to a car fight! Lol!
OK ok. Derp.
Not funny. Ya copsucking loyalist.
@@TheAntistatist892ok everybody, if you look out the right side of the bus, you can see a troll! Not uncommon these days, but always smelly like the excrement they so copiously produce! And for a more exciting sight, look to the right at the broken-down paper factory… 😮
Not funny...HILARIOUS!
@@williambrown2830thanks man! 👍🏻
'You're not supposed to hit me with the car, bro', says the criminal who pulled out a weapon and pointed it toward folks. Yeah, that argument doesn't quite work. Nice PITT by the officer, though. Good job gentlemen.
I didn't see him point it. I saw him throw it.
@elemar5 Who is asking? We have eyes
@ Who is asking what? I made a statement.
Thank you officers for keeping our communities safer
From what? Cognitive dissonance is a bummer.
@@TheAntistatist892 From people like you
And dummies in jail
Please forgive me for laughing. It might not have been proper. Hold on while I go watch it again.
You're forgiven. Because so was I.
Let's make it a felony to call a law enforcement individual "bro"
Misdemeanor yes, felony no. . . . . no no no, . . I mean I get it. But it most definitely would infringe on the first amendment. Remember, the Constitution places restrictions on the Government. It would be just as egregious for the gov. to charge you with a crime for saying "Bro" as it would be for saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
@@RANDOMNATION907Lighten up Francis…it was a joke
If you’re gonna be dumb, you’ve gotta be tough.
You know their guilty of something when they say, 'I didn't do anything.'
Their guilty? So you mean they own a guilty? 🤔
@@Renard380
Yes. They own a guilty... plea.
served 90 days for fentanyl pos. less than a month earlier then goes around in public as a felon with a firearm. did he want to go back to jail? i know criminals dont make good decisions but this is over the top. out of jail for less than a month and cannot stop being a criminal. this is why they have extensive records. they are so unintelligent.
Cop had no right to detain him
Because the justice system takes reforming people to better lives seriously? Bahahahaahah. Wait so just locking someone up, making it impossible for them to get a job ever again, and releasing them to the street with nothing just causes repeat offenders? That is so obvious and makes so much sense it can’t be true. Don’t worry we will pay for this guy to get locked up for a year and then be released right back on the street. Now owing the court thousands of dollars with crime his only option to survive. America’s society the best of the best.
@@michaelbolchunas1271 spend some of your money on a lawyer for the thug!
@@michaelbolchunas1271
The cop's car felt otherwise.
@@michaelbolchunas1271 He had every right, the guy was fleeing, and armed.
Holy shirt. He actually had a holster. I have watched so many cop body/dash cam videos and these criminals never actually use a holster.
Cop listening to Cyndi Lauper vs gangster in a bicycle!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Every time
I bet you write that under every police video. Find something new.
@@timp1970cry.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm gonna start listening to Cyndi Lauper while at work. Kept that cop really chill 😂😂😂
Welcome to Florida BRO 😮
Forget the charges; one week in jail for every "bro" and every "man".
When the officer backed up I thought for a second he wss going to take another run at him😅.
That's what you get for not having a light on your bike.
That's all they really waaaaaaaant
😂😂.
...some druuuuuugs! When they're roaming out at night oh junkies, they wanna get drugs.
McDermott: "I didn't do nothin' wrong!"
Translates to: "I didn't do what I was told."
I love it that so many Departments are posting body cam and dash cam videos. Especially right away, like this one. It's important for the public to see what is really going on in their respective communities. I wish my state had a state wide body or dash cam requirement.
Outstanding work.
Fleeing & evading is against the law. Do what the Law Enforcement Officer tells you to do and you most likely won't get hurt, "bro'".
It’s not against the law if they have no reason to stop you and suspicion is not a crime. Plus this department is known for violating constitutional rights on a regular basis
I was trying to figure out the legal probable cause for the stop. In this case the criminal did what criminals do in the end.
@@Dr.I.C.Spots247 didn’t look like a criminal to me look like a guy just riding his bike. Plus after doing some research this deputy is a piece of shit
He had no right to stop him, fing bootlickers here
Omg! That was Horrible! I Hope that Bush was ok?
🤣😅😂👍
Why was the guy fleeing? That means he knew he was up to no good.
Felon with a firearm.... They know the have to flee.
He had the right to flee
Not after pulling a gun on a cop.
When he says “seriously, wtf?” It really sounds like Cartman… did this guy watch too much South Park?
Life is hard when you are stupid.
Wtf welcome to Florida
Cindy lauper made the vid awesome.
that went smoothly 😂😂
Never bring a bicycle to a car fight! 😅
Don't let Arkansas LEOs see this! 😮😅
😂😂Geeezz...so many good 1 liners come to mind with this and that some Girls just wanna have fun..let's see...The Police - Don't stand so close to me..
The Cars - Drive.....Queen- I want to ride my bicycle...POD - Youth of our nation..😅😅 and Jackson Browne - Running on empty!!
Don’t bring a gun to a car fight
Wow, it's almost like a circus show, very funny. I didn't know that the police in America also train circus artists 😉.
This is why I support our Police. Things like this never make the Leftist News channels. How many of us would put their lives on the line every working day?.
Not too many will see my comments, I think it's called shadow banned. Youturd has it out for me.
@@NCLUSAno, your politics are boring and tired. People are ignoring you.
I wonder if he was Valedictorian of his high school class???
No he wasn't but he was voted as most likely to use the word " BRO"
BEAUTIFUL
So why was the deputy stopping him???
Harassment
Don't bring a bike to a car fight while you are riding to seminary school.
I am sick and tired of hearing "I didn't do anything"
He didn't.
He was just running late for work. Hope the deputies called his office to let them know he wouldn’t be coming in.
Is the car ok
What caliber was that bumper?
“I took him down!”
Thx 4 cleanin de drains sir
"Bro, Im not gonna run!" 30 Seconds earlier..Runs off on His bike!
That's a 6000# weapon that can travel 100+ mph. 🤣
Was that a BITT?
[“Bicycle…” you know the rest]
Never bring a gun to a car fight.
What gun? I didn't see one.
Flew into a tree with girls just wanna have fun playing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the irony 😂😂😂
Good old police tactics this officer needs to train all new recruits
@@ned6938 you must be a criminal to make that comment NO RESPECT FOR THE POLICE what did you want the officer to run after him with a rainbow flag
Never bring a gun to a car fight
Never bring a gun to a bumper fight.
A cop’s cop. Gets it done. Only in Florida or Arkansas can you do something like that.
Seen it it Georgia too. There's a clip of them chasing a guy in Athens and they give him a good ride across the hood LOL
Cyndie Lauper needs to change that song to "criminals just wanna have fun"
I think Cops just got a new theme song.
Ok he didn’t “pull” gun on deputy, which implies he was going to use it. He was trying to ditch it.
I didn’t do nothing (except run from the police)!
What would you prefer, Scooter; a car moving at around 5 MPH, or a 115 grain bullet moving at more like 850? Door #3 was "don't pull a gun on a cop" but you locked that one in front of you.
When stupid people play stupid games they get the "dummy prize."
He didn't pull a gun
I guess this dork doesn't realize that EVERYTHING was recorded on the dashcam, lol
Show where was the gun
1:02 looks like he was trying to ditch it, being a felon and all.
Outstanding police work!
You gotta love this latest pit maneuver 😂
Sorry, I missed it… did anyone see the firearm?
You're not in a blue state buddy!! This is how LE's roll in the south!! 😂
Child.
Dirty as fuck and constantly getting sued
Unconstitutionaly. And they roll like that everywhere.
Looks like you triggered a couple criminals 😂
@@John-vz6lb
LOL. Well said.
Florida, where cops PIT a bicycle --- don't run, DON'T RUN!
Gotta remember to turn your car radio off🤣🤣
Bringing a bike to a car chase, not the brightest.
Hope the car is okay!
Glad that this felon had his gun removed and all, but why was he stopped again? What actual reason did the cop have to make the initial stop and demand? Is standing next to a bike somehow illegal? Was there a 911 call ?
The suspects never do ANYTHING!

As soon as I heard "bro" I knew he had the infection. Once they are infected, keep your distance and never turn your back to them.
Nice to see more law and order people commenting for a change! 🇺🇸👮♂️✝️
@1:02 I think the biker got tripped by the telephone pole guide wire and not so much by the vehicle.
Cops just want to have fun... The guy just got out on Dec. 17th and then this on Jan. 4th. Wow
It takes a special kind of idiot to give chase on a bicycle😂
Now that's how its done...
They NEVER do anything!🙄
Bonk.
Add 6 years for calling me bro.
fast acting b4 it got worse.
Video is WAY too short.
Glad I don't live there anymore.
Gotta love FL cops. Do not mess around.
FAFO is strong with this one! 🤣😂
😂😂😂 knocked the Mario coins out buddy
Girls just want to have fun!!😂😂
The year of FAFO 😂😂
Let's not ignore that the suspect farted at 2:59
Nearly everyone is armed in Florida
Every thing is good bro, but you have to go.
FAFO, Bro!
Where is that awful music coming from?
Cop TREE'D the suspect.
Guaranteed he doesn’t live in that nice looking neighborhood, nor have any business being there, especially at night.
Don't bring a gun to car fight lol
in some GTA games the cop cars don't have radios. i wasn't always sure if they did but now i have seen many videos where they do have radios
