A warrant arrest doesn’t always look the way people expect.

After locating a man wanted on an Criminal Sexual Conduct arrest warrant, Deputy Zaragosa and Deputy Potter take him into custody.

Rather than immediately handcuffing him behind his back, deputies work with him, allow him to gather what he needs, and use belly chains so he can be secured more comfortably for transport.

It’s a small look at the decisions deputies make during even seemingly straightforward arrests.

Ride along with Deputy Zaragosa and the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office - Michigan in the newest episode of The Shift, AVAILABLE NOW on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.

The suspect was gone, but the investigation was just getting started.

After reviewing surveillance footage from a retail theft, Deputy Zaragosa begins working through the available leads, from identifying a vehicle connected to the suspect to checking a possible address.

It’s a look at the investigative side of patrol and why relationships between law enforcement and local businesses can play such an important role in solving cases.

From serving his country to serving his community.

After high school, Deputy Zaragosa wasn’t sure what direction life would take him. Four years in the Marine Corps eventually led to college, the police academy, and a career he says he genuinely enjoys.

“I think service is a big thing for people just in life.”

Get to know Deputy Zaragosa and ride along with the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office - Michigan in Holland, Michigan, in the newest episode of The Shift, AVAILABLE NOW on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.

The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office - Michigan joins The Shift tonight in an all-new episode premiering at 8/7c on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.

Ride along in Holland, Michigan, with Deputy Zaragosa as the night starts with a minor crash featuring a memorable explanation from one of the drivers before shifting to a welfare check involving a man who believes people are spying on him.

Later, Deputy Zaragosa assists in the arrest of a subject wanted on a criminal sexual conduct warrant, helps a stranded motorist whose vehicle begins smoking and nearly catches fire, and responds to the lakeshore for a possible water rescue involving the U.S. Coast Guard.

The night wraps up at the beach with one of the more memorable OWI investigations we’ve encountered on The Shift so far.

From routine calls to situations that take an unexpected turn, this episode offers another look at just how quickly a shift can change.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office joins The Shift TONIGHT at 8/7c exclusively on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.

After a man with active warrants takes off before Sgt. Botello can make contact, she tries to explain why disappearing the moment you see a deputy probably isn’t a coincidence.

We’re headed back up north.

Tomorrow, The Shift returns to Lake County as we ride along once again with Sgt. Botello of the Lake County Sheriff's Office - Michigan.

This shift brings traffic stops, a person taking off because of active warrants, a breaking and entering call that quickly turns into something more, and one familiar location we somehow keep finding ourselves back at throughout the night.

Our first episode with Lake County was called “A Full Moon Kind of Night.” Somehow, this one has that same strange energy.

A weird night. A busy night. And another great look at policing in rural Northern Michigan.

A report of a weapon at a party sends deputies into an orchard after cars begin scattering from the scene.

With the immediate threat under investigation, Deputy Kelderman helps clear the party and make sure everyone gets out safely.

Just another call that can change the direction of a shift in seconds.
