Nightwatch: SWAT High-Risk Raid on 17-Year-Old Sex Offender | A&E

All right, listen up. Got a high-risk search warrant and arrest warrant for sex crimes. The target’s wanted for attempted 42 and a 64. Tonight, we were preparing to execute a high-risk warrant on a 17-year-old who’s been charged with armed robbery and attempted sexual assault. So he has two 95 arrest warrants.

The crime he committed he used a firearm, so we know we’re going into what could possibly be a gun battle with this guy, based on the nature of the crime. Red team, vehicles drive the Bearkat. Jay, you going to breach. Blue team, Smitty and Billy, Ally,

You and myself we will lead the team up with the shields. They got two windows right here. Two windows, we’re going to pancake that. When we come through the gate right here, we go hug this tight. If anything happens, you have EMS standby. That’s it. Anybody have any questions? Y’all ready? Let’s go.

Let’s go. 32-32? They got me driving, guys. [grunts] Let’s roll, baby. [siren blaring] We are treating this guy even though he’s 17, he’s legally an adult. We’re treating him as we’re going to get him, we’re going to get a violent offender, or we’re going to get a violent criminal. Approaching FAP. FAP.

You got an FAP. When we get close to the target, we know there’s no turning back when you get to this point. Check on 3. Check on 3. 1, 2, 3. Let’s go. 10 seconds. Got some people outside. All right. Moving out. Let’s go. Let’s go. This way. Let’s go.

All in. All in. Hug that wall. Go right to that dude. Right to the 32. Police with a warrant! [loud bang] Police with a warrant! Police search warrant! [glass shattering] Come on! What’s in your hand? On 1, 2, 3, now! Once we made entrance to the bedroom,

We located the target lying in the bed. Matt, listen to Mark. We got a right to remain silent. At that point, we placed him under arrest. We put him in a car now. Come on, man. How old are you man? Girl, you done got tied up on, bro,

You got us coming to get you. In Louisiana, 17 is considered an adult so our target was charged as an adult. You’re out of school? Well, just the thing– when I was 17, that was far from my mind trying to rob somebody or definitely

Sexually assault. So I don’t want to say it’s surprise, but there’s other things you could be doing with your life than committing violent crimes. Good job, everybody. We came home safe, the same way we left. Praise the Lord once again. Well, you drive better than Cedric, dog. [laughter]
