FL Deputies Ambushed Man Deliberately Rams Them with Car ... Both Critically Injured
Two deputies are lucky to be alive after a Florida man intentionally accelerated his car and plowed into them while they were responding to a distress call from his mother.
The horrifically violent scene played out Thursday morning in suburban Tampa ... where the mother of the suspect, Ralph Bouzy, called cops to say her son was "behaving violently" at their home. Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrived and saw Bouzy sitting behind the wheel of car in his driveway.
Cops say Bouzy drove off, but returned 15 minutes later ... as 2 deputies were still there, standing near the foot of the driveway. A deputy's body cam captured the moment Bouzy stepped on the gas, sped up and smashed into the lawmen ... pinning one of them up against a patrol car.
After the impact, Bouzy got out of his car and walked toward other cops on the scene, refusing to surrender. He finally went down once they tasered him, and he was arrested.
It's a miracle the deputies -- Carlos Brito and Manuel Santos -- even survived the crash. Both sustained critical injuries that required surgery, and remain hospitalized.
Sheriff Chad Chronister said, "There is no other way to describe this other than an ambush. Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect this community and what happened today makes me absolutely sick."
Bouzy's been booked for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.

Oficiales emboscados Un hombre los embiste deliberdamente con su carro
Dos ayudantes del sheriff tienen suerte de estar vivo después de que un hombre de Florida acelera intencionalmente su carro y se estrellara contra ellos mientras estaban respondiendo a una desesperada llamada de socorro de su madre.
La violenta y horrible escena ocurrió el jueves por la mañana en los suburbios de Tampa, donde la madre del sospechoso Ralph Bouzy llamó a la policía para decirles que su hijo estaba "comportándose violentamente" en casa. Los oficiales del sheriff del condado de Hillsborough llegaron y vieron a Bouzy sentado al volante del carro en la entrada.
Los policías dicen que Bouzy se alejó, pero regresó 15 minutos después, mientras los dos oficiales seguían allí de pie de la calzada. La cámara de uno de ellos capturó el momento en que Bouzy pisó el acelerador y se estrelló contra los agentes de la ley, dejando a uno de ellos inmovilizado contra un carro patrulla.
Después del impacto, Bouzy salió del carro y fue hacia otros policías que estaban en la escena, negándose a rendirse. Finalmente, se dio por vencido cuando lo electrocutaron y fue arrestado.
Es un milagro que los agentes, Carlos Brito y Manuel Santos, sobrevivieran al accidente. Ambos sufrieron lesiones críticas, que requirieron cirugía y permanecen hospitalizados.
El sheriff Chad Chronister dijo: "No hay otra manera de describir esto que no sea una emboscada. Nuestros ayudantes se juegan la vida cada día para proteger a esta comunidad y lo que ha ocurrido hoy me pone absolutamente enfermo".
Bouzy ha sido fichado por intento de asesinato de un agente de la ley.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... before authorities arrived early Monday morning, Tom Hanks' son punched the 42-year-old suspect after finding him attempting to break in around 3:00 AM. When L.A. County Sheriff's deputies got on scene they tried to slap cuffs on the man, but he kept fighting.
Eventually, they subdued him enough to get cuffs on him ... but while leading him to the car, the guy fell backward onto one of the deputies, who ended up with a broken leg!!!
Both men had to be taken to a hospital for treatment. Once he was medically cleared, the suspect was booked for burglary. As for Chet ... at least physically, he was unscathed.

ACCIDENTE DE ALAN RUCK NO HAY INDICIOS DE AVERÍA EN LA CAMIONETA
Una investigación interna del camión eléctrico de Alan Ruck no ha encontrado ningún indicio de mal funcionamiento antes de su accidente contra una pizzería en Hollywood.
Un portavoz de Rivian le dice a TMZ que comprobaron los datos sobre el vehículo y encontraron que el camión funcionaba según lo diseñado, no había ninguna indicación de mal funcionamiento y están cooperando plenamente con la investigación en curso de la policía local sobre el incidente.
Como informamos por primera vez, la principal teoría de la policía de Los Ángeles de lo que causó el accidente se centró en el nuevo y llamativo Rivian R1T de alta tecnología del actor.
Como informamos, los policías especularon que las características innovadoras de la camioneta podrían haber sido las culpables, ya que la estrella no estaba bajo la influencia de alcohol o drogas, distraído o afectado de otro modo durante el accidente.
Si aún no lo sabías, el camión cuenta con tres sistemas de tracción a las cuatro ruedas, lo que significa que puede ir de 0-60 MPH en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
Por el momento, la investigación sobre el accidente parece haber llegado a un punto muerto, pero afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido de gravedad y Alan salió sin un rasguño.

An internal investigation of Alan Ruck's electric truck has found no indication of malfunction prior to his crash into a pizza shop in Hollywood.
A spokesperson for Rivian tells TMZ they checked the data on the vehicle and found the truck performed as designed, there was no indication of malfunction, and they are fully cooperating with local law enforcement’s ongoing investigation of the incident.
As we first reported, the LAPD's main theory of what caused the wreck focused on the actor's flashy new high-tech Rivian R1T getting the better of him.
As we reported, cops speculated the truck's innovative features may have been to blame as the star was not under the influence, distracted, or otherwise impaired during the accident.
If you didn't already know, the truck features three all-wheel drive systems -- meaning it can go from 0-60 MPH in a bolt.
For the time being, the investigation into the crash appears to have hit a roadblock ... but, thankfully, no one was seriously hurt - and Alan walked away without a scratch.

Insane Robbery Uses Construction Backhoe ... Digs A Hole In The Side Of The Store!
Some alleged culprits turned to heavy machinery to carry out their heist ... taking a construction backhoe and digging right into the store.
Check out the wild clip, which reportedly took place Monday morning at an ampm store in Oakland, CA ... the excavation equipment blasts through the wall, with the store's clerk barely gettin' out of there before the crooks start the teardown.
While the shop's glass was bulletproof, it clearly wasn't backhoe-proof -- after getting the claw through the wall, the machine then goes after the ATM inside. Eventually, the thieves in question chain up the ATM, attached to a truck outside, and make their getaway.
Store owner Ali Abdulla told ABC7 there's "at least $70,000" worth of damages after the excavation. Ali says he's frustrated by what happened to his store, and thinks the only way to run a shop in his area these days is to "sleep in your store and stay locked and loaded with an AK-47 and just be ready because the police is not coming on time."
He notes, however, that he isn't putting the blame on Oakland PD -- claiming there simply aren't enough cops working.
When cops arrived at the scene, the backhoe was still there, but the alleged perps were gone ... and OPD's Burglary Unit is asking for anyone with info to come forward.

Alan Ruck's car crash last week is still a mystery in terms of cause -- but cops do have a theory they're running with for now ... they think technology got the better of a human.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... investigators believe they know what caused the "Succession" star's wreck at a pizza parlor in Hollywood, and from the sounds of it -- the police are buying Alan's story here.
Our sources say Alan told officers he simply didn't know what caused the accident.
We're told those who were on the scene believed him -- as they saw no evidence he was under the influence, distracted or otherwise impaired during the accident ... so, as far as they're concerned, they believe it was, in fact, just an accident.
Our sources also tell us the LAPD thinks this was just a mishap arising from the fact that Alan's truck, a Rivian R1T, is brand-spanking new and super high-tech.
Indeed, it is an electric truck ... and it certainly looks fancy from the inside out. It also features three all-wheel drive systems -- Dual Motor, Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor ... and depending on which one you're on, it can go from 0-60 MPH reeeal fast.
We have no idea if or how any of this played a part in Alan's sitch -- but it sounds like the police think he might've just been in over his head handling this machine ... and that it just got away from him. As a result, we're told they're closing the book on this case ... and leaving it to insurance.
Fortunately, nobody was harmed in this freak incident.

El accidente de Alan Ruck la semana pasada sigue siendo un misterio en términos de causa, pero la policía tiene una teoría relacionada a la tecnología del carro.
Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que los investigadores creen que saben lo que causó el accidente de la estrella de "Successión" en una pizzería en Hollywood, y por lo visto, la policía está creyendo la historia de Alan.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Alan simplemente le dijo a los oficiales que no sabía lo que causó el accidente.
Nos informan que los que estaban en la escena le creyeron, ya que no vieron ninguna evidencia de que el actor estuviera bajo la influencia del alcohol, distraído o deteriorado de alguna manera durante el accidente, por lo que, en lo que a ellos respecta, creen que fue solo un accidente.
Nuestras fuentes también nos dicen que la policía de Los Ángeles piensa que esto era solo un percance derivado del hecho de que lacamioneta de Alan, un Rivian R1T, es nuevo y alta tecnología.
De hecho, es una camioneta eléctrica, y desde luego tiene un aspecto de lujo por dentro y por fuera. También cuenta con tres sistemas de tracción a las cuatro ruedas, Dual Motor, Performance Dual-Motor y Quad-Motor y puede ir de 0-60 MPH realmente rápido.
No tenemos ni idea cómo algo de esto pudo jugar un papel importante en el accidente, pero parece que la policía piensa que el actor simplemente no pudo manejar la máquina. Como resultado, nos dicen que están cerrando el caso y dejándolo en manos del seguro.
Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido en este extraño incidente.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Held For Psych Evaluation ... Allegedly Downed Pills

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former boxing champ and son of one of Mexico's greatest-ever athletes, was recently treated at a psych hospital after his wife told police he consumed dozens of pills, and she was scared for his safety.
Sources tell TMZ Sports 37-year-old Chavez Jr.'s wife, Frida Chavez, contacted police in the Hollywood area on October 24 ... after she became worried about her hubby's health.
Frida -- who was previously married to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's late son, Edgar Guzman Lopez -- told cops she believed Julio ingested a large amount of potent and potentially dangerous medication ... and wanted medics to check him out.
Rescuers were dispatched and were able to contact Chavez Jr.
It's unclear exactly what happened, but Julio wasn't permitted to leave after officials determined Chavez Jr. needed to go to a psychiatric facility for treatment, known as a 5150 in California.
The law allows certain officials (police officers, doctors, etc.), should they believe someone to be "a danger to others, or to themselves, or gravely disabled" to be held for up to 72 hours "for assessment, evaluation, and crisis intervention."
Chavez Jr.'s family is clearly concerned for his health. In fact, his dad, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., recently expressed fear for his son's well-being during a podcast appearance.
"I feel sorry for him, because his children are little and he's not enjoying them. It hurts me that he's going to go crazy, that he's going to have an accident driving at 12-1 in the morning at full speed, that he's going to have a heart attack from all the pills he takes," Chavez Sr. said on the Bromeando con los Rivera show.
Speaking of Sr., while Chavez Jr. never reached the athletic heights of his legendary father, he was still an accomplished boxer, holding the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and 2012.
Julio, 53-6-1, last fought against David Zegarra in December 2021 -- a fight he won by unanimous decision.
