a school bus driver drunk on the job. an elderly man who robs bank at gunpoint. >> this is a man who is using a gun. >> a priest on a belligerent tirade. and an armed thief with impeccable manners. >> i'm really sorry. >> these are not the usual cases. >> that's not the first time
4:01 pm
somebody tried to break in jail. >> not the usual suspects. not even the usual species. >> is as you know, cats are so smart. >> but they are all caught on camera. >> i couldn't believe what i was seeing. >> it was surreal. did that really happen? >> caught on camera, unusual suspects. hello. i'm contessa brewer. welcome to "caught on camera." in this hour, through the
4:02 pm
unblinking eye of the lens, you'll witness people engaged in reckless or criminal behavior. sometimes these incidents involve the unlikeliest of suspects, those whose demeanor or occupation offers no forewarning of their outrageous behavior, as you'll see in our first video when a trusted school bus driver jeopardizes the lives of dozens of children. may 8th, 2009, alford, new york. it's the end of the day at alford almond central school, and 15-year-old grace scherzer and 14-year-old chelsea are eager to head home. but today's trip on their school bus will be a ride they'll never forget, and it's all caught on the bus surveillance camera. >> you're making the little kids die! no, stop! you can't move. stop the bus! >> when i first got on the bus, the bus driver wasn't on the bus like usual. >> it took her about 20 minutes to get on the bus, and she was escorted by another bus driver. the bus driver asked her if she was all right, and she repeatedly said, "yes, i'm sorry." and the bus driver got off. afterwards she started making comments, being very inappropriate with us and stuff. we're like okay, something is weird. >> the kids on the bus don't know it yet, but their driver, 55-year-old martha thompson has a blood alcohol level of 0.15,
4:03 pm
almost twice the legal limit. >> the first time we really realized there was something wrong with the bus driver was when she just went straight through the stop sign, and she didn't stop. she stopped right in the middle of traffic, and one of the students had to go up and help her shift and back up so that we could get out of the way of traffic. >> many of the children on the bus are becoming frightened, especially some of the younger kids. several of the older students gather at the back of the bus to discuss how they should handle the situation. >> the big kids were talking and wondering what do we need to do to keep them calm because we don't want to tell them what is going on and have them get worked up. >> we didn't know if she was drunk or if there was like -- she took the wrong medicine. we didn't know what was wrong
4:04 pm
with her. >> but when thompson neglects to drop off two students, the situation goes from bad to worse. >> you passed the turn. >> what turn? >> the turn off this road! duh! >> we didn't drop the students off, and then we continued up the hill, which we never did. finally grace ran up there and you need to stop. we don't do this on a normal basis and you're obviously not in your right mind. >> the students feel trapped on the bus, unable to get off or unable to make the bus driver stop. >> stop, stop! please. put on the emergency brake. put it on. >> you need to stop, you need to stop. so she completely lets go of everything and just lets the bus roll back. >> put on the brakes! >> guys, stop screaming. >> the bus begins rolling backwards, down the hill, heading toward a ditch. >> you've got to put on the brakes. >> stop, stop. you're fine. just back up.
4:05 pm
come on, guys, you're okay. you're fine. you're okay. breathe. stop. you've got to stop. okay, you've got to stop. >> it starts rolling back at 15, 20 miles per hour. and it starts going into a ditch one way. and i'm like stop, stop, you need to stop. so then she pulls it up again and goes into the other ditch. okay, we need to stop this. i'm not going to deal with this. >> fearing for everyone's safety, grace demands thompson turn off the bus. >> turn it off, okay? >> no. >> you got to turn it off. >> no. >> turn this [ bleep ] -- >> will you guys stop? you're not okay and i know it. just turn it off, please. >> no. >> you can't -- turn the bus off! >> no! >> you're making the little kids cry! stop!
4:06 pm
>> there was kids crying and screaming because they were scared. i was scared, but i was just more scared that -- for the kids, because they were my priority at the moment, like making sure they were all right and calm. >> the mood on the bus is tense. unsure of what to do, chelsea calls her mom. >> and i'm talking to her on the phone, and she can hear the kids crying and screaming in the background. and she is freaking out because i'm losing cell service. so she doesn't know if i'm okay or if -- what is happening. >> stop the bus, just stop! >> i am stopping. >> okay. >> get in your seat. >> put the brake on. >> get in your seats and -- >> i felt like we weren't safe. i felt like this bus was going to tip over. i didn't know what was going to happen. >> several students begin begging the bus driver to let them off the bus.
4:07 pm
>> i got to pee. i can't hold it any longer. >> we are going -- we are -- we are okay. >> now! >> will you open the door, please? >> fed up with the situation, grace decides to take action. >> i was like okay, we're rolling backwards. she can't control us. i'm not going let these kids die. so that's when i decided we need to open the back door and get them off. i'm not going to be locked on a bus and die. >> as soon as the bus comes to a stop, grace opens the door. >> she is like we need to get these kids off the bus. >> get out. >> you can't get off the bus! you can't get off the bus! nicole, what did you do? >> everybody off, get them off. >> no! >> after we got most of the kids off, there was kids that wanted to stay on the bus because the bus driver was telling them to. >> you got to get off.
4:08 pm
come on. when i say go, go! get off. >> no! >> and i went up to them, and i was like kids, you need to listen to me. you're not safe. she's not in the right mind or state to be driving this bus. and you need to come with me now. and she is yelling at me, telling them they need to stay on the bus. i was no they don't. >> two students who left the bus run home to get help, and their parents call police. and it turns out the bus driver's own daughter is also on the bus. martha thompson is arrested, and she pleads guilty to 37 counts of reckless endangerment second degree, and driving a school bus while intoxicated. grace's mom, jane swanson, is shocked by the bus driver's action, but she is extremely proud of grace, chelsea and the other students who showed great courage. >> they handled it very well. they were very mature about it.
4:09 pm
and i think that they didn't just react. >> i don't really feel like a hero. it's what grace and i were supposed to do. we're the older kids. and we were the ones who were supposed to help. >> everybody tells you the phrase that you'll know what to do in the situation. and that's how it was for me. i knew it was the right thing. >> guys -- >> don't get off the bus! coming up, an elderly man with a sinister plan. and it's all caught on camera. >> he realized if he carried a firearm and threatened to use the firearm that he would get more money. >> but there may be more to this bandit than meets the eye. plus, a plastered priest delivers a sermon you won't likely hear at mass. >> i'll give you the sermon on the mound. your sermon on the mound is this. get these [ bleep ] off of me because i'm getting a rash! >> when "caught on camera: unusual suspects" continues. we all enter this world

4:13 pm
january 28th, 2011. it's a scene caught on bank surveillance camera. an elderly man walks into a bank in goleta, california. he stands in line, walks over to the teller, and when he gets to the teller, he casually pulls out a gun and demands money. when the teller complies, the old man takes his loot and simply strolls out the door. it all plays out right in front of customers and bank employees, most of whom are completely unaware that a robbery has even taken place. though he may look like a harmless grandpa, this sinister senior is currently one of the fbi's most sought after fugitives. he is known as the geezer bandit. >> the geezer bandit is a white male. his appearance makes him appear to be between 60 and 70 years
4:14 pm
old, anywhere from 5'10" to about 6'1". we're getting about 180 to 190 pounds. he comes in as a fairly benign looking older man. he is seemingly dressed fairly nice, oftentimes wears a blue blazer, sometimes baseball caps. based on his actions, witness accounts and victim teller accounts and surveillance footage, we believe he is left-handed. >> since his first robbery the geezer bandit hit a total of 13 banks primarily in or around san diego, california, and all of them have been caught on surveillance camera. >> first robbery was standard. we see him go in. we don't believe he had a gun during the first robbery. he did have a demand note. and he gets a small take and he leaves the bank. >> he repeats this m.o. for his next two robberies, only using threatening notes and language. but by robbery number 4, the geezer bandit decides he needs to step up his game.
4:15 pm
october 26th, 2009. surveillance video shows the geezer bandit walking into a bank in rancho santa fe, california. after heading to the counter, he hands the teller a note, and this time he also uses a gun. >> our theory, and i think it's a very strong one, is he wasn't getting a lot of money on the first three robberies. he realized that if he carried a firearm and threatened to use that firearm, and he was correct in doing so, that he would get more money in the takes. however, what he may or may not realize is that as soon as he took that gun inside the bank, he just increased his penalties under the federal sentencing guidelines and the state sentencing guidelines. >> but it's not just the threat of the gun that makes the geezer bandit so menacing. take a look at this surveillance footage from november 16th, 2009. the geezer bandit hands a note
4:16 pm
to the teller. and though the fbi won't discuss what it says, they will confirm that its content is extremely violent in nature. >> his notes have very specific threats. this is not a pathetic old man. this is a man who is using a gun, he is threatening, he is pointing at the victim tellers, and he's got very specific language that is violent language in his notes. it's not just give me all your money. this is a very violent crime, and it scares those tellers. many of them suffer traumatic issues over time because of this. >> watching the surveillance video, it seems incongruous that an old man is robbing banks. but according to special agent bodich, that may be the secret to his success. >> he is not coming in looking like a thug. some people have good situational awareness. some people don't. some people go in and they're in their own world. they're not paying attention, they're on the cell phone, whatever they're doing. the geezer walks in, most people don't give him a second look
4:17 pm
because he appears to be very nonthreatening. he appears to be an older gentleman who is there to do his banking. he is quiet. he is surgical. he approaches one teller. he is in, he is out, and he moves on. those are the difficult ones to catch. >> there is also a possible twist -- speculation that the geezer bandit may not actually be a geezer at all, but a young man or woman wearing a mask. >> that is not uncommon for bank robbers at all. many of them wear masks. we've had people dress up like women. they're actually men. and we've had people wear halloween masks, et cetera. not unusual at all for a bank robber. do we believe that could be the case? it certainly could. we are considering all the possibilities. put it that way. >> the bandit may be old-school, but his fans are on the social media bandwagon. there are facebook pages supporting the geezer bandit. and if fans want to show off
4:18 pm
their loyalty, there are hats and mugs that read "geezer bandit for president." even dogs can find their very own geezer bandit t-shirts. >> people will enter their entries on the facebook pages. one individual actually says to him on the facebook entries, "god bless you." i have a hard time believing that god would smile on geezer bandit' actions there is a backlash against many of the banks right now, and some people are actually seeing this guy as a kind of robin hood. robin hood he is not. at the end of the day, he walks into a bank with a gun. what happens if something goes wrong in there? someone could get killed because of his actions. >> the folk status may actually harm him. with the use of these surveillance videos and images, the fbi hopes all the exposure and even his nickname will make it easier for the public to identify him, and ultimately easier for them to catch him. >> we like to name them as quickly as possible because it gets it in the public subconscious that oh, that's the
4:19 pm
drywall bandit or that's the geezer bandit or that's whatever. and it helps them remember so that ideally they are able to at some point generate some leads that will help us solve the case. >> the fbi is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the geezer bandit's arrest and conviction. after sitting for an interview, they asked us to help get some information out to the public. >> we can't catch him without the public's assistance. if someone is inside a bank or sees someone like this outside the bank, they need to call 911. they need to dial 911 immediately. if someone has a lead after the fact, they need to dial their local fbi office, whether it's san diego, los angeles, or wherever. coming up --
4:20 pm
>> please? >> a respectful robber minds his p's and q's to hold up a convenience store. >> he was very polite, very friendly. plus, a feline gets caught in the act. >> when we saw the towels, we were laughing. it was too funny. >> when "caught on camera: unusual suspects" continues. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it. "depreciation" they claim. "how can my car depreciate before it's first oil change?" you ask. maybe the better question is, why do you have that insurance company? with liberty mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

our officers, with the support of regional and state partners, continue to stand tall and stabilize the city of baltimore. tonight we see some of the same people in baltimore that were here last monday. we recognize the concerns over the curfew for tonight's event
4:23 pm
and everyone's safety, we will keep the curfew in place. we thank everyone for their co-op hraeugz for peace and stabilization within our city. we will all want to get back to normalcy and have the city running in the right direction. i would like to bring up the state police. >> good evening. just to echo what the commissioner said, we have had several peaceful days. been able to get their word out peacefully. we totally support that. you see law enforcement help them. and we will continue to do that. but it has always been about safety. safety of the lives of the citizens of baltimore. and secondary, the issues of the city of baltimore. we want to keep things in place as they have been. we will continue with the state police, ocean city, law
4:24 pm
enforcement here in support of the citizens of baltimore to keep people safe. the issue of keeping the curfew in place is just something that it was our decision to make that. keep it that way was our policy that we set in place. we continue to support that. you know, we just ask for patience as we move forward and continue to move in a safer direction for a safer city. thank you. >> so i also would like to reiterate what's already been said by the commissioner and the colonel. and what i would ask say is that, you know, we are not here to stay in the manner that you think we are in terms of the military. we are here to stay as community and citizens of the community because many of us live and work here, as i continue to reiterate that. we will go back to our armories and put our stuff up and we have to go back to work. i want to be able to get my folks back to their employers within the city, outside of the
4:25 pm
city, which includes myself. because come tuesday, i'm supposed to be at work about four or five blocks from here. so i want to make sure that we can close out tonight in a very safe, a very peaceful and just a structured manner. that's really what we want. and i can tell you that i went out and i was visiting with, you know, my troops, and i was visiting with a lot of the citizens here, it's been overwhelming support. and i can't say enough about that. because this has not been easy for us to do. but the most important thing is the safety of all the infrastructure that's here. because without that we have no baltimore. we do not have a baltimore. and so my focus is ensuring that we keep everything in a safe manner and we pull out, we the military, will pull out in the
4:26 pm
same manner that we came in, which is very calm and i want to pull out very calm. because we, too, have to come back and be citizens here in the state of maryland as well as in baltimore. and i would not have it any other way. and so i really want us to be peaceful tonight, to be calm. let's be patient. another night of having wonderful celebration. and then we can all get home. i can get back to my family. my folks can get back to their families. and i can come down and actually eat without my uniform on at the inner harbor or one of the other restaurants within baltimore. thank you. >> in all seriousness, just on a lighter note, we understand that the pacquiao and mayweather fight is tonight. i predict the winner is going to be -- have a good night.
4:27 pm
>> a very brief news conference there led by the baltimore police commissioner, along with other law enforcement announce they will keep that curfew in place, as they have since the unrest on monday with rioters, fires and other unrest is and violence there. keeping the curfew in place. that's 9:00 p.m. for juveniles. that will kick in at 10:00 p.m. tonight for all other citizens. i want to turn to my colleague richard lui in baltimore. there was a lot of calls for demonstrators, the community saying we want to get our city back. we want to get back to normal. >> right. >> in doing so, the first step is to lift the curfew, especially given the businesses that have lost revenue income, especially on a saturday when so many people are out. that is going to stay in place with the curfew kicking in at 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. tonight for the other citizens, richard.
4:28 pm
>> that's right. you have the kentucky derby tonight. you've got manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather fight. in that statement he was tipping his hat to what has been discussed on the streets. we had the rally behind me earlier. folks were very calm. they were listening to everybody speaking. but those were the two messages coming out. hey, things are better today. they were calling it a victory rally for a reason. since they made it from friday to saturday, and now saturday things calmer, perhaps a curfew would be lifted. the city and the residents could go out and enjoy is the pacquiao/mayweather fight. baltimore, when you've got high 60s, low 70s, this is the place to be. camden yard is a fun place in the entire area to be around. instead, the flip side is, as the commissioner was saying here, let's be careful. let's be safe tonight.
4:29 pm
he didn't talk past what is going to the happen tonight. 9:00 for juveniles, 10:00 for everybody else. as part of what they will be looking at in the mix of what the governor has here in baltimore, the national guardsmen, 3,000 soldiers and airmen with 3,000 vehicles. some of them right here in front of city hall. the maryland state police, 600 state troopers and other allied law enforcement officers. 283 law enforcement from pennsylvania, 149 from new jersey. so you've got all of that here in terms of what they want to have tonight as the curfew will stay in place. >> the protests, the marches and demonstrations hopefully they will remain peaceful. now let's send it back to programming.

police commissioner confirmed that the city's 10:00 p.m. curfew would be in place for the fifth night. the decision comes after a day of action in baltimore celebrating the prosecutor's decision to charge six police officers in connection with the death of freddie gray during an arrest last month. now back to "caught on camera." welcome back to caught on camera. i'm contessa brewer. it's not unusual for a suspect to flee from police, but it's not always a well thought out plan. you're about to meet two suspects who make downright foolish attempts to escape from authorities, and another guy who goes to extremes to turn himself in. a suspect leaps to escape police custody. not so unusual until you realize he is leaping out of a moving

police cruiser, and it's all caught on camera. january 22nd, 2011, sandy city, utah. police officer gavin white is transporting 20-year-old nicholas duffy to the salt lake county jail. earlier that day, duffy is arrested by another police department on investigation of burglary charges. he is admitted to a local hospital after being tasered, and also for possible intoxication. he escapes and is eventually discovered hiding out in a nearby garage. >> well, when i first saw mr. duffy, he had a blue substance all over his face and all over his mouth. nobody knew what it was. we walked him outside of the garage where he started throwing up. and he obviously appeared to be intoxicated of some sort. >> because he is vomiting, officer white takes duffy back to the hospital. after receiving the all clear, duffy is placed in the back of officer white's police car, heading for the jail.
4:35 pm
>> the first thing i did is roll down my window when he got into the car because i knew he would be vomiting. it would be a long trip to jail. it's fresh air for him to help him out and help me out as well. >> with his seat belt on and his hands shackled behind his back, duffy seems secured in the back seat for the trip. >> he wasn't complaining. it was just his actions. he was vomiting. you know, incoherent. he appeared to be intoxicated. >> but then -- >> as i'm driving down the freeway, freeway speed, out of the corner of my eye, i caught him already halfway out my window. instant reaction was i put on my brakes and moved over to the right because i knew what he was doing. and he jumped from my car. >> somehow, even though he is in handcuffs, duffy manages to secretly unbuckle his seat belt. and before officer white can stop him, he is out the window. >> just for a split second, i just couldn't believe what i'm
4:36 pm
seeing. it was kind of surreal. it was like did that really happen? and then was he okay. >> officer white pulls over to the far right of the freeway and backs his car up toward duffy, who is laying in the shoulder. >> i immediately called for extra officers and for medical help. when i first got to him, he wasn't saying anything. he wasn't moving. i could see major scrapes on his shoulder. scrapes on his back. his hands were bleeding. i asked him questions, make sure he was okay. he responded to me pushing on him, and that was it. >> help arrived on the scene, and duffy is taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries, which include road rash, scrapes, and bruises. officer white says it's lucky duffy wasn't hurt worse. >> that's the most traveled freeway in utah, i'm sure it's the busiest. he was in danger of getting hit by another car. he is lucky he didn't hit his head and lucky he came out with no broken bones. he is lucky all the way around.
4:37 pm
>> yet white's colleagues credit the officer's quick thinking with ultimately saving duffy's life. >> officer white, in seeing that mr. duffy is halfway out the window already immediately starts to slam on his brakes because they're traveling on the local freeway, and the speeds there are 65, 70 miles an hour. and officer white was able to get his car down to about 30 miles per hour before mr. duffy made it out on to the freeway. 70 miles an hour had he gotten out that window, he possibly could have been killed. >> sergeant arnold says it's important to have cameras in police cars because they provide visual support for their officers and the incidents that happen inside their cars, however implausible. >> we can say look, we had no involvement in this. mr. duffy took the determination to jump out the window himself. but more so it's an officer safety issue. we're able to see what our
4:38 pm
prisoners are doing, why we're taking them to jail so we're able to know whether or not they're planning a different type of escape next time. >> after being treated for his injuries, duffy's charged with burglary, escaping official police custody, criminal trespass, and theft. duffy has not yet entered a plea. he is currently out on bail and awaiting trial on his charges. running from the cops is no laughing matter. but bouncing off a bulletproof window may be. lake county courthouse, waukegan, illinois. after being accused of violating a bond condition for charges of disorderly conduct and aggravated battery of an officer, 19-year-old travis copeland finds himself in court. but he takes avoiding jail time to the extreme when he makes a break from the courtroom. copeland takes off, running as
4:39 pm
fast as he can. but he is heading right toward the sheriff court officers. so he turns around and runs the other way. now officers are surrounding him from all sides. there is nowhere to go, except out the window. but instead of crashing through, copeland bounces off the bulletproof glass. this is probably a good thing. if he had been successful, he would have fallen almost 35 feet into the street. realizing the futility of the situation, copeland lays down on the floor and surrenders to the court officers who surround him. and if you think running from the law is a bad idea, check out what this driver did in our next video. an suv crashes through a garage
4:40 pm
door in spokane, washington. but what is most unusual about this suspect is that he isn't fleeing from the cops, he is trying to turn himself in. the garage door he has just driven through is part of the spokane county jail. sergeant donald hooper is the supervisor on duty that day. >> it was a slow sunday morning. not a lot going on, just dealing with typical paperwork issues. and i hear over the radio from our control room that a car had crashed through the auto sally port door. so i asked for clarification on the radio. a car came into the door? no. a car crashed through the door. >> the sally port is a secure enclosed area that officers use to transfer the custody of inmates. with this area compromised, the jail goes on lockdown. sergeant hooper calls for backup, and he and his deputies make their way towards the sally port to check out the scene. >> the lincoln navigator had
4:41 pm
crashed in the door, but the door had pretty much fallen back into place. but the navigator was parked against a center divider and still running. the vehicle was a little skewed as it hit the wall. and it was sort of leaning to the left. and you could see the driver at that time i thought maybe he was injured because he wasn't moving. i thought it was an accident. >> not knowing what to expect, sergeant hooper and his deputies grab their guns and cautiously make there way toward the car. >> we didn't approach the vehicle until he had firearms. not knowing at that time if he had a weapon, had bomb. we had no idea. >> but when they reached the driver, they're a little surprised by his demeanor. >> he sat in the driver's seat with his hands on the wheel just staring out the window. he had almost a smile on his face. and he just stood there until he was given commands to come out with his hands up and get down on the ground. we handcuffed him on the ground. >> the man is identified 31-year-old dustin leeds. he is assessed for injuries by medical personnel and eventually taken to a holding cell. and when leeds is asked why he
4:42 pm
drove his car into the jail, his answer shocked everyone. >> i had people come down and talk to him. and he told somebody he wanted to come to jail. he thought that was the way he could get some help, come to jail. get mental health help. so he took it literally and drove into jail. >> leeds causes about $13,000 in damages to the sally port door. all charges against him in the incident are dropped. he is declared mentally unfit to stand trial. sergeant hooper has seen a lot during his career on the force, but he says he has never seen anything like this. >> we've had people try to break out of jail. but that's the very first time we've had someone try to break into jail. literally break into jail. coming up -- >> get this out of my face! >> a priest on a drunken tirade. >> do you understand, sir, what kind of a [ bleep ] storm you're

there is a burglar on the prowl in san mateo, california, preying on homes in the middle of the night. but it's not his mask or robbery style that makes this thief so unusual. it's who he is. meet dusty, otherwise known as klepto kitty. caught red-pawed on this night breaking away from programming, law enforcement there in baltimore, upholding tonight's 10:00 p.m. curfew, police commissioner said just moments ago, addressed the press in a news conference saying the department has been touched by this tragedy. let's listen in with more. >> last few days have shown that baltimore can come together as one. where we've had pastors, young
4:56 pm
adults, police officers coming together as one city. peace and calm is better than violence. my hope is that we work to towards a new level of partnership as we move forward. it is important we do not lose sight what brought us here. many families remain in pain tonight. the gray family. the family of all the officers involved. families across baltimore are touched by this tragedy. the case is in the hands of the state's attorney. we will allow, that will allow the process to proceed. and now, we will have the confidence that the truth will come out for all. any questions that i can answer? >> talking to people in communities -- saying that you should -- is is there a problem

one of the things i brought with me is a document out of las vegas. the mayor said we have challenges and organization which we have shared, but we have very good officers here, too. i think like the state attorney says, it's not an indictment on police officers in the organization, but we cannot have a tolerance for any misconduct at any time. but think you don't lose light, trying to shade an entire organization. we have to be police officers here, also, who take the time to h hug kid, read to children, coach children and take the time to get down and make a difference in life so it's not a broad brush. sorry.
