Officers deployed a K-9 unit to track Booker after the crash, resulting in his capture. The sequence highlights common tactics in pursuits where immediate chase is avoided to minimize public risk, followed by tactical apprehension.

Booker faces three specific charges:
- Violation of a permanent restraining order.
- Failure to stop for blue lights (evading police).
