Deputy Trey Bynum's body camera captures the ATV pursuit involving 15-year-old Tripp Brazeale. But after Tripp runs into the woods, the footage stops.

The camera is manually turned off at 12:51 a.m. and doesn't resume until 1:40 a.m. When it comes back on, Bynum is wearing latex gloves.

Adding another layer to the timeline, the pursuit happened on the night daylight saving time ended, meaning the clock rolled back from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Could that affect how some of the events line up?
