Dylan Turner, 18, sits in the backseat of a police vehicle as Durham Police Sergeant Cates calls Turner's mother.  Turner was pulled over in East Durham, an area referred to by the Durham Police Department  as "the bull's eye." Accounting for 20% of Durham's arrests for crimes such as prostitution, drugs and stolen goods, the bull's eye is a mere 2-square mile area.  

Turner and his friend were pulled over by Sergeant Cates in mid-November.  When asked to step out of the vehicle Turner's friend fled the scene.  He was caught within 30 minutes by the police's K-9 Unit.
