A Long Island cable repairman allegedly helped an armed suspect hide in his company van from police officers looking for him. But that choice is also what led to both men getting arrested — because the work van had a camera inside that recorded their entire conversation.
The dramatic getaway from Suffolk County police was captured on camera on June 22. Officers conducting surveillance during an unrelated shooting investigation approached the suspect, Borndivine Jackson, in the parking lot of a deli in Shirley. The 26-year-old Jackson took off running.
"While running from police, he ran through a wooded area and discarded a gun before exiting the other side of the woods and entering a residential area," said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney. In that neighborhood is where Jackson ran into Danyel Anderson, an acquaintance, who was driving an Optimum Cable van. Anderson told him to get in the back of the van, and the pair continue to talk very candidly — seemingly unaware they were being recorded. As the mounted camera filmed, Jackson explained that police were looking for him after they saw his gun.
