Tim Bates

Tim Bates was a patrol officer for DC Metropolitan Police Department during Day 10.

During Day 10, Bates and his partner, Officer Paul Vernon, spotted Eric Carter and went to arrest him for vagrancy. After Vernon roughed Carter up a little, Bates talked him out of it. As they were about to arrest him, Carter overpowered them and took their sidearms. He asked them to get to their police station's evidence room for $2 million confiscated on the drug bust. He strapped bombs to them and made Vernon drive him to the station with Bates in the passenger seat.

As Vernon and Bates led Carter through the police station and pretended to take him to processing, their boss, Lieutenant Daniels, asked to see Vernon about a suspect he had previously roughed up. Bates stood by as Vernon told him it had to wait, but Daniels insisted, so Carter started a scuffle. As Vernon secured Carter, Daniels ordered him and Bates to take him to processing. Once they were cleared and the cameras were blocked, Vernon and Bates led Carter to the evidence locker where the drug money was. They stood by as Carter found the money, when the alarms suddenly sounded and Carter was discovered in the evidence locker.
