sue will eventually join the chimpanzee troupe. looking back, sergeant bloomquist says the incident is a little funny, but it could have had an entirely different outcome. if his fist or his leg would have come through there, i think at that point, something a little more serious might have happened. for police, dealing with a chimp is an unusual occurrence. but dealing with speeding cars, that s an everyday hazard. this state trooper is about to meet his hazard head-on. it s june 2005, and tennessee state trooper rodney redman is working a crash investigation. he s about to become part of another one. i heard a tire squealing on an suv and saw a gray suv coming
pennsylvania. in the vehicle was found 21 hits of lsd and two bags of mushrooms. no one admitted to it. they were all charged with it. they were arrested and transported to the louden county jail. it s not until the next day that redman realizes there s video of his terrifying accident. there was another trooper that was close by that i called for assistance to help with traffic control. and it s his video that caught it on tape. and i was shocked by what i saw. it wasn t me. it was somebody else. it was like a stuntman in a movie. i don t know that i ll ever accept and truly believe that that was me. redman s laughing now, but he s constantly reminded of that day in june 2005. i hurt still every day. the doctors can t find anything wrong with my hips or why my hips would hurt, but my hips still hurt every day. redman also says the fear
