Random Police Officers Reveal The Worst Criminal Encounters Of Their Careers (19 items)

• (#13) A Spurned Employee Accosted A Former Coworker

  From Redditor /u/Quick_Everyone_Panic:

  He walked into a business right at closing time when there were no customers left and only one 18-year-old female employee. At gunpoint, he took all the money that he could, then forced her to take off all her clothes and perform oral [...] on him. He then took her in the back room, tied her up, and penetrated her with the barrel of the gun for several minutes before barricading the back room door so she couldn't get out and leaving her there.

  Turns out he was a former employee (and, if you can believe it, convicted [...] offender) who had made several passes at the victim while they worked together and been rejected every time. He was there to rob the place but when he saw who was working he figured he'd [take out] two birds with one stone.

  Catching him was among the more satisfying moments of my career.
• (#4) A Teen Wielded A Screwdriver To Impress Friends

  From Redditor /u/seanbeag:

  The earliest memorable person is a [17-year-old] who [ended] two men by stabbing them in the head with a screwdriver. He was just acting the hard man in front of his mates and picked on these two guys for nothing. The thing that got me was his complete lack of remorse or regret. I'd never properly understood what a psychopath was until then.
• (#14) A Man Made Clothes Out Of Cat And Dog Skins

  From Redditor /u/AbsentStraw:

  My worst was a response to a home for attempted suicide with the individual still armed with a knife. When we arrived the suspect was walking down the side of the road at 3 AM. Covered in blood from having cut himself over most of his body with moderate to deep cuts. While we were standing around ordering him to drop the knife, he stood like a statue not saying anything but staring. This guy was a towering 6'5 220-pound man who looked at me a 6' 160-pound 22-year-old and said, "I'm going to take your gun and shoot him." Referring to my FTO at the time who was similarly built to me. I deployed a taser which did nothing but anger him, my FTO deployed his which brought him down.

  Trying to handcuff a man covered in blood is terrifying, all the blood-borne diseases you can contract. He was transported to the hospital for his self-inflicted wounds. Upon further investigation this guy had been luring cats and dogs to him which he would end up [...] skinning. In this guys shed he had a harvesting room where he would turn the pelts of these animals into clothing, you name it, this guy had made it. The entire thing reminded me of some horror movie with a stench you could not stomach. That was my first week as a sworn officer, I turned 21 three days before graduating the academy. I've been on now for a year or so and that is the only guy I have ever met I believe could have taken my weapon and [ended] me. He later was declared mentally competent and charged. [It turns out he] was not suicidal but angry, because he messed up on one of his creations.
• (#15) A Neo-Nazi Child Predator Was Caught In A Facebook Sting

  From Redditor /u/auxillary-priest:

  My father is currently a chief and used to be a detective for a short stint. The majority of his detective career [was spent] chasing down a [predator] who was tried for 30 counts [...] [including] sexual misconduct with a minor, and various charges of the like. My father spent day and night for close to a year gathering enough evidence to ensure he could put the bastard away for good. Aged my father like nothing I've seen. Finally arrested the guy by posing as a 13-year-old that we'll call Amber on Facebook. Agreed to meet up with the scumbag at a local park to have sex. My father and his crew rolled up quietly and approache him from behind the bench he was sitting on and says, "Hi sweetie, my name's Amber." [The criminal is] currently serving a 180-year sentence without parole.
• (#5) A Father Beat His Young Daughter And Ended Her Life 

  From Redditor /u/Flintte:

  My dad [...] responded to a case [and] the girl was 5 years old. The father would beat her, and the mother would neglect her. [...] The father admitted to beating the child at least once a day because she did things like have bathroom accidents (they never taught her to properly use the bathroom). They used bats, belts, and anything within arm's reach. The child was malnourished and neglected, with healing bruises and fresh bruises. Three days prior to her death, the couple refused to clothe and bathe her, leaving the child to live in her own feces. The child's last day was spent in her room, unfurnished and covered in feces. Beaten then left unattended as the couple went to work. Upon return, her dad whipped her with his belt for the last time.

  When my dad responded, he went to a room layered in feces with blood splattered on the wall and floor where the girl had laid still. Covered in her own blood and vomit, while experiencing seizures due to the trauma. As a first responder, it was my dad’s duty to save her. He gave her CPR, frantically trying to do everything in his power to save her as if the child was his own. There was nothing he could do [...] Later investigation found that the child had been whipped then hit in her chest knocking her to the ground. The father then proceeded to stomp on her chest and head, causing her ribs to break, along with brain bleeding, and a dislocated shoulder. Although my state ended the death penalty in 1957, the crime had occurred on federal property, and thus, the father was up for [capital punishment]. This caused the trial to drag on for 10 years. For each of those years, my father deteriorated in his mental state and developed [a dependency on] alcohol [...] later leading to a few small domestic [disturbance] cases. He suffers from PTSD now, and the father I grew up with is no longer present. 
• (#3) A Man Had Relations With His Girlfriend's Toddler

  From Redditor /u/Gnartan:

  Had a guy who had been f*cking his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter. He found out he had gotten busted and took a whole bunch of [drugs] and probably anything else in the house he could get his hands on. Was found unresponsive and put in an ice bath by his friends and one of them was nice enough to call 911. Hell of it is that when we show up the girlfriend is defending him, stashing contraband and trying to keep us from entering the apartment without a warrant. Exigent circumstances, hip hip hooray, get out of my way and we got him to the hospital. Hell of it is that while we got him out she flushed all their sh*t and deleted all the images from his phone of the [offenses]. F*ckin' mom choosing her [deplorable] boyfriend over her daughter. Lowest of the low. He pled to a lesser charge eventually due to a lack of evidence and she caught a tampering with physical evidence charge and got her kid taken away. She's out and works at a local restaurant that I'll never go to again.
