Bizarre moments

The show's recorded-live nature has captured a number of unusual incidents. In one of the most cited examples, host Joey Greco was stabbed by an angry suspect who was confronted on a boat.[7][8][9] Greco recovered and came back to the show shortly afterwards. Jack E. Jett, served as a fill-in host briefly after the stabbing incident (and hosted the episode with the incident itself), and several episodes were recorded where Greco hosted, but other personnel led confrontations. The stabbing incident was later replayed when Greco appeared on The Maury Povich Show, and was ranked #2 by E! Entertainment's 101 Craziest TV Moments program. In a separate episode, Greco was burned when a suspect threw a burning stick at his head. During other episodes Greco and his team have been attacked by angry suspects brandishing unusual weapons, including a semi-automatic paintball gun and a replica katana.
The investigations of the suspects have occasionally revealed unexpected events and circumstances. In one of the few episodes where the suspect was found to be innocent, a wife suspected her husband was cheating on her in their home while she was away. Hidden cameras placed in the bedroom of the home revealed that it was actually their son having sex with his girlfriend in the home while both parents were away. In another episode, a boyfriend suspected his girlfriend was cheating on him. Not only was she cheating, but it was revealed that her paramour was actually her own cousin.
The confrontations with the suspects are filmed live and, generally, in public view. The resulting events occasionally escalate and involve individuals unrelated to the case. For example, a wife suspected her husband was cheating on her with his ex-common-law wife. During the confrontation, the husband was caught without his pants and runs off to a laundry facility to steal a random pair of underpants from a dryer being used by an unrelated laundry patron. In another case, a complainant confronts his wayward girlfriend and her paramour at a gas station. The paramour becomes so enraged by the camera crew that he body-slams a cameraman into the hood of an adjacent car, whose owner confronts Greco on-camera regarding the damage to his vehicle.
While the show does employ bodyguards to prevent the parties from injuring one another, they haven't been able to stop every incident. In one episode, a lady suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her with her best friend/roommate. During the confrontation, the angry boyfriend punched her in the face. Paramedics were called and the boyfriend was arrested on assault charges. While in custody he ran from police. The cheater was also seen kicking a passenger-side window of someone else's car.
