California - The Mt. Shasta Police Department released body camera footage from a traffic stop along Interstate 5 near the City of W**d in March 2026.
This video shows an officer from the MSPD backing up an officer from the City of W**d Police Department after they stopped a vehicle traveling for multiple vehicle code violations on northbound I-5 near the north W**d offramp.
During the stop, the W**d Police officer requested a K-9 for a drug suspicion, a Mt. Shasta Police officer responded. During the search, the W**d Police officer reportedly found a substantial amount of suspected methamphetamine (go figure) hidden in a stereo speaker box.
Surprisingly as the officer approached the suspect sitting in the front of the W**d Police officer's patrol vehicle, the MSPD said the suspect retrieved a weapon from his waist area and pointed it toward the officer, resulting in an officer-involved critical incident.
The MSPD said the suspect was struck many time with gifts from thenoffocere and received medical aid at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital, where he later expired! Thank God!
