Ford Mustang driver caught RIDIN' Dirty by Arkansas State Police #pursuit

Trooper's Report: On August 26, 2023, I, Sergeant Stephen Briggs, was traveling in the area of Buford and Forrester Road in the McAlmont Community of Pulaski County. I observed a black/grey Ford Mustang (Arkansas license plate 046ZYN) traveling north on Forrester Rd. After the vehicle turned east onto Morning Glory Street, I observed the vehicle travel off the right side of the roadway into the grass. At approximately 5:55 p.m., I initiated a traffic stop of the vehicle in the 100 block of Morning Glory St. The vehicle continued to travel east passing several locations to stop. The vehicle accelerated and I activated my siren and informed dispatch I was in pursuit. The vehicle continued east on Morning Glory St. and turned north on Primrose St. The vehicle reached speeds of approximately 45mph as it fled through a residential neighborhood. After turning east onto E. 46th St., I pulled along the driver’s side rear of the vehicle and the vehicle abruptly decelerated and came to a stop. At that point, I placed the front right corner of my bush bumper into the driver’s door. I ordered the driver to place his hands in the air and the subject complied. I observed that the subject’s hands were empty and I ordered the subject to turn off the ignition and roll down the driver’s window. I had the subject crawl from the driver’s window and lay on the ground. Pulaski County Deputy Ryan Crancer placed the subject in handcuffs and I identified him as Perry FORD While speaking with FORD, I could smell the odor of marijuana about his person and vehicle. I conducted a search of FORD’s person and located no items of contraband. Trooper First Class (TFC) Keri Permenter arrived on scene and conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle. In the center console, TFC Permenter located a plastic baggie of suspected marijuana and a black digital scale. I took possession of both items from TFC Permenter and secured them in my vehicle. TFC Permenter conducted an inventory of the vehicle and completed a vehicle tow sheet. The vehicle was towed and stored by Phillips Brothers (storage# 20230826181251ASR). I issued FORD citations (1000847097 / 1000847097) for the following and I booked him into the Pulaski County Jail: 27-51-104: CARELESS AND PROHIBITED DRIVING 5-54-125(d)(3) FLEEING - FELONY - VEHICLE OR CONVEYANCE - SUBSTANTIAL DANGER OF DEATH 27-16-303: DRIVING ON SUSPENDED LICENSE 27-22-104(a)(2): FAIL TO PRESENT PROOF OF INSURANCE (NO PROOF) 5-64-419(b)(5)(A): POSSESS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE SCHED VI 4 OZ 5-64-443(a)(1): POSSESS DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
