Officer Jacob LaMunyon, of the Wichita Police Department, responds to a call of a burglary in progress at a recycling center. As officers approach the scene, a young man matching the dispatcher's description is spotted pedaling away from the area at a high speed. Officer LaMunyon gives chase and the male stops. He initially refuses to provide a name and is taken into custody for obstruction as he is found at the scene of the crime. As they continue the investigation a second male suspect pedals up to the scene meanwhile, the manager of the recycling yard arrives and officers are able to review surveillance footage. The footage shows the two men wearing masks while smashing the recycling center's window. When they confront the two men, one of them leads the officers to the stolen items where they recover a backpack with a stolen magnet and two-way radios. Officer LaMunyon asks one of the suspects why he returned to the scene and his reply was that he didn’t want his friend to go to jail alone.
