This video is for educational and informational purposes only. 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.

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.
