** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** Chico, California — On Wednesday, October 14, 2020, at approximately 7:29 p.m. the Chico Police dispatch center received a 911 call from a citizen who was playing tennis at the Community Park, 1900 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. The citizen reported a bloody “guy with a knife, high on something” chased his 15-year-old daughter. Officers were immediately dispatched to the tennis courts, but they could not find the described white male suspect and later left the area. At approximately 7:47 p.m., a private security guard, who was patrolling the Park in his company vehicle, heard and saw the previously described bloody suspect come out of the Park into the parking lot of the Field House/Gymnasium. The suspect, later identified as Stephen William Vest, 30, was armed with a knife and attempted to stab the guard through the open front passenger window of the guard’s marked security vehicle. Vest then jumped up on the hood of the guard’s car and began stabbing the passenger side windshield and hood with the knife. The guard accelerated away and Vest came off the hood. The guard saw Vest begin quickly walking south on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway toward E. 20th Street. The guard slowly travelled in his vehicle parallel to Vest to keep an eye on Vest and report into his dispatcher (another roving guard in Chico). The guard shouted several times to Vest to “get on the ground”, but Vest kept moving south on the sidewalk. At one point, Vest came toward the guard’s passenger window with the knife again. The guard shot his Taser weapon at Vest through the still open front passenger window. The Taser probes hit Vest, but did not have the desired effect of a full-body lockup. Vest continued south toward the E. 20thStreet intersection. As the guard watched, Vest entered the intersection at approximately 7:51 p.m. and began attacking private vehicles with his hands and the knife. Vest used his knife to stab at passing vehicles in the intersection –breaking at least one windshield; slapping his bloody hands on the windows of passing cars; slashing at tires; and jumping onto the rear of a passing motorcycle. The guard’s dispatcher got through to the Chico PD dispatch center and 911 calls also started to come into the CPD dispatchers from motorists in that intersection. Officers were dispatched. As the officers were on their way, Vest moved out of the intersection and walked further south on MLK Parkway to the driveway of the nearby Petco store. At approximately 7:56 p.m. Sgt. Bauer and Officer Page arrived and saw this chase disappear into the store. The officers got out of their vehicles and ran after Vest into the loading bay hallway. The men ran out the Petco front door with Vest close behind, just as Sgt. Bauer and Officer Page came toward the front of the building. At the same time, Officer Johnson drove his marked patrol SUV with lighted red/blue lights into the front parking lot of the Petco store and got out to join Sgt. Bauer and Officer Page just to the west (or right) of the front door. The employee and the truck driver ran past and behind the officers as Vest came out the front door into the parking lot, knife still in his right hand, and turned to his right toward the fleeing men and, now the officers. The officers shouted for Vest to stop and drop the knife multiple times. Vest continued his “determined” forward motion toward the uniformed officers with the knife displayed forward toward them, ignoring their repeated commands to stop and drop the knife as they pointed their firearms at him. The officers at the same time began to give ground to Vest and move backwards in the parking lot while still facing Vest. Officer Page shot his Taser weapon and saw the probes go out and contact Vest. However, the weapon did not stop Vest and he continued forward at the officers still with the knife in hand. As the officers ran out of room and time to go further back, Sgt. Bauer and Officer Johnson opened fire with their semi-automatic pistols for approximately two seconds at approximately 7:57 p.m. Officer Johnson fired nine times and Sgt. Bauer fired two times. Vest fell forward and the officers moved forward to kick the knife from his hand and render medical aid. Vest however did not survive and responding medics declared him deceased at the scene.

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Stanislaus County, California — On Friday, September 22nd 2023, at 3:45 p.m., deputies investigated a home burglary in the 3500 block of West Keyes Road in Keyes, where a handgun was stolen. At 5:31 p.m., a citizen in the 5100 block of Muncy Road in Modesto reported being carjacked at gunpoint by a male adult, later determined to be 43-year-old Jason Dingler, who stole the man’s pickup truck. 6 minutes after the carjacking, at 5:37 p.m., an employee of the One Stop Market in the city Grayson reported a male with a gun stole from the store. The man was described the same as the one from the carjacking minutes earlier. He was also later identified as Dingler. A California Highway Patrol officer located the stolen truck traveling south on Highway 33 at 5:44 p.m. After multiple deputies arrived to assist with stopping the vehicle being driven by Dingler, he failed to pull over, leading them on a pursuit. With Air101, the Sheriff’s Office helicopter, overhead, Dingler continued fleeing from deputies on Highway 33, reaching speeds up to 95 MPH. During the pursuit, at 5:59 p.m., Dingler sideswiped another car as he passed it, causing his vehicle to leave the roadway and crash at the edge of an orchard. He exited the truck and fled on foot into the same orchard, where he shot at deputies multiple times. Air101 provided updates to deputies on the ground as Dingler moved through the orchard, including laying on the ground, shooting at deputies again and striking a patrol car. For the next several minutes, he could be seen with a gun in his hand and began moving closer to where the deputies were. At 6:26 p.m., Dingler was approaching deputies, at which time two discharged their firearms at least one time each. Dingler was struck by at least one bullet and fell to the ground. Deputies gave him multiple commands, but he was uncooperative and still had a gun within his reach. As additional safety equipment arrived at the scene, including armored vehicles, deputies were able to approach Dingler and take him into custody at 6:47 p.m. They immediately began providing him medical treatment until he could be transported to a hospital by a nearby waiting ambulance. He survived his gunshot wound(s) and is in stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit. The firearm used by Dingler to shoot at deputies was recovered from the orchard. It is the same as the handgun stolen in the earlier burglary and believed to be the same used in the carjacking and robbery at the market. The Major Crimes Unit, Stanislaus County District Attorney Office, and administrative investigators responded to the scene. It is standard for both criminal and administrative investigations to be conducted at the same time when an officer-involved shooting occurs. No deputies or other assisting law enforcement were injured in the incident. The driver of the sideswiped vehicle complained of pain from the accident but declined to be treated at the time. As related to each incident listed, 43-year-old Dingler is arrested for the following crimes: Residential Burglary: Burglary Carjacking: Carjacking, Kidnapping, Burglary, Assault with a Deadly Weapon Robbery: Robbery, Brandishing a Firearm Pursuit: Evading a Peace Officer, Hit and Run, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle Attempted Murder: Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Prohibited Person in Possession of Ammunition, Prohibited Person in Possession of a Firearm, Attempted Murder. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'MortimerEsq' - 'Monty' - Exus Altimus - Mateusz Adam Katana - 'Dawesenm' - Ryan Hurley - William Bowman - Paul Rohrbaugh - Sandra McGreevy - Charlie Collier - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - 'JTrip' - Lee Roberts - Brant Eaton - 'General X' - 'jadeennff' - James Pringle - 'AccuShoot.com' - Meighan Garrick - 'Sopaul' - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - 'Necko' - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - Eian Smith - 'HelloDarknessMyOldFriend' - 'coco Coco' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PoliceActivity Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Police_Activity ?️ Check out our Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/PoliceActivity ?️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
