“She Tried to Break Out of the Patrol Car — Officers Say the Backseat Turned Into a Battlefield: Part 2”
Part 2 of the dramatic incident picks up right where the chaos left off. The fictional woman at the center of the story — 27-year-old Lana Mercer — was already furious when officers placed her in the backseat of the patrol car. Bodycam footage shows her yelling, kicking, and twisting her body in every direction, refusing to sit still for even a moment.
In Part 1, viewers saw Lana shouting at officers on the roadside after they responded to a disturbance call outside a downtown restaurant. According to the fictional police narrative, she had been arguing loudly with staff and refusing to leave the property. When officers attempted to de-escalate, her behavior only became more explosive.
Part 2 opens inside the patrol car, where the situation instantly escalated. Lana, visibly agitated, slammed her heels against the metal divider, causing a loud clanging sound that startled the officers outside. One of them rushed to open the back door, trying to keep her from hurting herself. But that’s when the unbelievable moment happened.
As the officer leaned into the vehicle to calm her down, Lana attempted what officers called a “spectacular and absolutely doomed escape attempt.” She wedged her body sideways, lifted herself off the seat, and tried to crawl out around the officer’s shoulder — all while screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Ma’am, stop! You’re going to get hurt!” the officer warned, bracing his arm against her to keep her from slipping past him.
But Lana kicked harder. She twisted, lunged, and shouted that she “wasn’t going anywhere.” At one point, she even tried to push herself between the seats, despite the impossibility of squeezing through.
The footage shows the officer staying remarkably calm as he tried to secure her legs, telling her repeatedly that resisting would only make things worse. But Lana seemed determined to fight the inevitable.
Viewers watching the bodycam angle can see the wild back-and-forth struggle — her pushing, him blocking, her kicking again, him carefully maneuvering to keep her from falling out of the car. At one moment she screamed so loudly the audio peaked, leaving officers stunned at her strength and intensity.
According to the fictional report, Lana’s actions weren’t just dangerous — they nearly caused her to injure herself. Officers later said that she could have hit her head, twisted an ankle, or fallen onto the pavement if they hadn’t stopped her in time.
When she finally exhausted herself, Lana slumped into the corner of the backseat, still shouting but visibly running out of energy. Officers secured her seatbelt, moved back, and closed the door with a sigh of relief.
“She didn’t understand we were trying to keep her safe,” an officer said afterward. “It wasn’t about punishment — it was about preventing her from getting hurt.”
Part 3 will reveal what she said during transport, the unexpected twist the officers didn’t see coming, and how the situation ended once they reached the station.
