hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. we have the best videos of the day "right this minute." a fisherman puts his yorkie in a kayak and sets out in a gator-infested swamp. what could possibly go wrong? >> holy cow! >> imagine him having to come back from the fishing trip and say -- >> with an empty leash. one of the world's wildest police chases. >> oh! >> now producers of a beloved show are bringing it back. >> to me, that's justice. >> and soon you'll be hearing those familiar words -- >> from world's wildest police videos. a guy is so into a business call -- >> he doesn't realize he just walked past his son-in-law who just came home from kuwait. >> oh, my god! >> see the reunion that will make a grown man cry. and the jump to make
4:31 pm
hardcore lovers cry as a guy pulls an insane front flip. >> whoa! gayle is going to kick things off with our first video. >> thomas decided to go fishing. he asked a friend to take their yorkie with him. i want you to see what happened. he's in winter park florida. he's out looking for bass with a camera on his head. that alligator tried to take a bite out of the kayak. >> i didn't even see the alligat alligator. >> me neither. >> where? >> watch it in slow motion over to the right. >> holy cow! >> oh! >> i know! >> he says that the gator knocked the boat so hard that it knocked the yorkie into the water. >> how do you even work up the nerve to go in a kayak in these swampy areas where you know there's gators. >> you could lose a leg. >> the dog had a leash. that's him pulling the dog back on the leash getting him away from danger. let me just say the yorkie was okay. but imagine him having to come back from the fishing trip and
4:32 pm
say -- >> with an empty leash. you continue your fishing trip after this? or you just go the heck home! >> are you kidding me? >> only in florida. these things are just crawling around in the water. i wouldn't have paddled out of that place faster. my paddle boat would have sounded like a motor boat. this video is being used against a corrections officer in dayton, ohio, who was indicted on four felony counts of theft in office. from this video we got from whio, you see officer malcolm caps on the left by a counter where he is collecting and logging items that belong to the inmates. and in this part of the video you hear him asking the inmate, in reference to the money that he had. >> well, as the video continues, you then see right here, he kind of brings his arm down into his pocket as if to put something in
4:33 pm
it. and later in another video from a different day, you see him dog the exact same thing but this time looking around. >> does he not understand there's a camera where he works? does he not understand he's being watched? >> but it's not entirely obvious what's going on, which is exactly what his lawyer is saying. he said this video is being complete 0ly misinterpreted. >> this video is the only piece of evidence, i tend to agree with the lawyer. i mean, i'm seeing a guy reaching into his pockets. >> you know, is he preying on these guys because who are you going to believe, a cop orr an inmate? >> there are two incidents that are being reviewed with surveillance video, that are being used against him. >> caps has been put on administrative leave until the investigation is completed. if convicted, he could face up to one year in prison for each one of the fifth degree felony counts. i've got a dash cam video for you guys that takes a couple of surprising turns.
4:34 pm
you see somebody on the road lay down in front of the car. >> oh! >> this is believed to be a suicide attempt. >> some sort of insurance scam or something? >> maybe that. the driver is not having it. >> oh! >> he gets off, one-punches him, gives him a stomp, a kick, picks him up almost cartoon-like and tosses him. >> like popeye with his spinach. >> if this is a suicide attempt, good on this driver, let me knock some sense into you. >> as soon as this guy deposits this gentleman on the side of the road, the cops are right there. >> either way, an insurance thing or a suicide attempt, it doesn't look like they're going very fast, 35, 40 miles an hour. >> almost like they didn't even need to slam on the brakes. >> i like how the driver, not how he punched and kicked him, but how he dragged him off the side of the road, like this is what i think of you trying to end your life this way. why did he pick this car? there was a car in front of this
4:35 pm
one. it's weird he picked the car with the dash cam. >> maybe picking the nicer of the cars on the road. hey, i want to get run over by a mercedes. >> if it was a suicide attempt, i think he would have waited a little longer to jump in front of the car. >> or picked a road with a higher speed limit. maybe you're on to something with it being insurance fraud. spike is about to bring back a must-loved show, world's wildest police videos. take a look. >> the driver of this suburban just shot and killed his wife and her friend. >> this is just a sample of what you'll see on the show. >> the murderer knows he has nothing to lose. >> let me tell you this one is a nate-biter. keep watching. termined to get away.ush hour or die trying. >> oh, boy! >> wow! >> oh! >> he just made another highway! >> oh! whoa! >> i can't believe that.
4:36 pm
>> did it crush his head? >> no. if he gets up, i will flip out. >> it barely misses him. but you see the guy fly out of the window or the sunroof of the car. >> oh! >> oh, man. >> to find out a little bit more about this show and this video in particular, we have the executive producer paul via skype from los angeles. this is a show people get aticketed to. >> the original series ran on fox about ten years ago, and in the last ten years so many more cameras are out there in patrol cars, we have cameras on cops now, tons of helicopter footage. because of that, when something absote ridiculousor crazy involng, the keliliho of it beig on camera is quite high. >> this guy in this video, did he get up and walk away from this or what? >> well, he lived through the day. the guy died three days later. to me, that's justice. you kill your wife and her best friend, and you leave your kids
4:37 pm
to basically be orphans. he got justice. >> your father kind of started this whole reality genre with "cops". >> there were a ton of lessons. i couldn't have had a better person than my dad. he had a really early start. when he was 16 he got a scanner in his car and he would try to beat the cops to calls with his video camera. in fact, sometimes he would show up early to, like, a high school party that was about to be broken up, and he would tell them that the cops are coming. they would hide everything. the cops would leave and then my dad would get invited into the party. >> this show premieres on spike may 7th at 8:00 p.m. this guy's flight is going very bad, very quickly. >> it's all getting twisted 57bd tangled. >> see what happens when everything tangles. it's the baby animal showdown. polar bear and gorilla. >> look at this one looking at him, like, don't even think about it! >> the big, bad, cute battle,
