All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. A nighttime Arkansas State Police pursuit involving a Dodge Ram quickly escalates into an extremely fast and unpredictable chase through the Little Rock area. Dashcam footage from Trooper Matthew Tucker shows his patrol vehicle reaching 129 MPH while attempting to close the distance. Later in the recording, Tucker describes topping out at approximately 130 MPH during the pursuit. Radio traffic describes the Ram repeatedly changing lanes, using the right shoulder to pass traffic, moving between the interstate and service roads, and continuing through increasingly difficult traffic conditions. As multiple troopers converge on the fleeing pickup, the pursuit reaches a critical point and officers prepare for a Tactical Vehicle Intervention. Watch the complete dashcam footage to see how this intense Arkansas State Police pursuit unfolds. INCIDENT DETAILS Date: August 17, 2026 Time: Approximately 8:34 PM Area: Little Rock, Arkansas Primary Highway: I-30 Other Area Referenced: Otter Creek / service roads Agency: Arkansas State Police Trooper Dashcam: Matthew Tucker ASP Unit: 301949 Suspect Vehicle: Dodge Ram pickup Vehicle Color: Silver Highest Dashcam Speed Shown: 129 MPH Trooper-Reported Maximum: Approximately 130 MPH Traffic: Medium to heavy Shoulder Passing: Reported multiple times Interstate / Service Road Transitions: Multiple TVI: Yes Firearm Mentioned Afterward: Yes, according to recorded conversation Alcohol Bottle Mentioned: Yes, according to recorded conversation Incident Type: High-Speed Vehicle Pursuit The 129 MPH number should still be presented as Tucker's patrol-car speed, not necessarily the Ram's exact speed. PURSUIT HIGHLIGHTS Dodge Ram reportedly refuses to stop Pursuit continues through Little Rock Ram repeatedly changes lanes Right-shoulder passing reported Vehicle moves between I-30 and service roads Pursuit encounters significant traffic Trooper struggles to close the distance Dashcam reaches 129 MPH Tucker later says he topped out around 130 MPH Multiple troopers converge Traffic begins clearing near the end TVI is announced over radio Pursuit ends in a major crash Officers immediately approach the occupants Troopers begin providing emergency aid Significant lacerations are reported Medical equipment and bandages are requested Possible hip/leg injury discussed Helicopter landing location is discussed Officers later discuss a pistol reportedly found in a bag An alcohol bottle is also mentioned during the investigation OFFICIAL CHARGES I searched specifically for an August 17, 2026 Little Rock/I-30 Dodge Ram pursuit involving Trooper Matthew Tucker and approximately 130 MPH, but I still cannot find a trustworthy public ASP report, court record, or booking record matching this exact incident. There are other Arkansas 130-MPH pursuits appearing in current search results, including a recently reported I-555 Hyundai pursuit, but that is clearly a different incident, so I would not use those charges here. Based on your footage, we have evidence suggesting potential offenses involving fleeing, reckless driving, shoulder passing and possibly firearm/alcohol-related investigation, but those should not be presented as official charges without the report. #arkansasstatepolice #policechase #highspeedchase
