Rookie Cop Stops the Final Boss of Speeders | CHAOS Ensues

This footage was circulating on X/Twitter, showing police in Longview, Texas arresting this guy just inside the front door of his home. The incident began as a traffic stop for speeding 10 mph over. The stop took place in the driveway of the home. The driver proceeds to be extremely aggressive towards the obviously-rookie officer. After a backup officer arrived, the young officer issues the citation for speeding. Then the man goes to walk inside the house, but the backup officer follows him and an arrest was made.

Here’s the original video from Blue Streak Cam.

UPDATE September 4, 2024:

So it looks like there was an outstanding warrant from 2014 for “ISSUING CERTIFICATE TO VEHICLE MISSING OR WITH NON-COMPLIANT INSPECTION ITEM” that was “executed” on the same date as the body cam recording. According to Gregg County, Texas court records, Trenton Futrell “did not show up” to the May 9, 2024 docket call / court date for that citation, resulting in a $273.00 fine (if I’m reading this correctly).

Then, after the court date on the warrant that Trenton was arrested for on April 18, 2024 (the bodycam incident), they charged him by complaint/information on May 16, 2024 with “RESIST ARREST SEARCH OR TRANSPORT” – presumably for what had occurred during the April 18 incident (though I don’t know for sure without reviewing the charging document). It appears that charge is still pending.

Here’s the text of the Texas statute he’s accused of violating:

Sec. 38.03.  RESISTING ARREST, SEARCH, OR TRANSPORTATION.  (a)  A person commits an offense if he intentionally prevents or obstructs a person he knows is a peace officer or a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction from effecting an arrest, search, or transportation of the actor or another by using force against the peace officer or another.(b)  It is no defense to prosecution under this section that the arrest or search was unlawful.(c)  Except as provided in Subsection (d), an offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.(d)  An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree if the actor uses a deadly weapon to resist the arrest or search.
