Trooper's Report: On 9/7/2023 at approximately 12:55 AM, I, Trooper Killian was patrolling Interstate 630 West at Mississippi when I observed a black Nissan Altima Bearing license plate AMU68H traveling in the number three lane. I observed the Altima strike the white dotted line that separates the number four lane from the number three lane and then continue to swerve inside of the lane. I then ran the license plate through ACIC, At Interstate 630 West and Interstate 430 North I Informed Troop A Communications that I was going to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. Once I initiated my emergency lights the vehicle began to accelerate, and the passenger began to throw, and empty baggies containing a green leafy substance. I informed Troop A Communications that I was in pursuit. At the intersection of Interstate 630 West and Shackleford the Altima proceeded through a red light traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle turned left onto autumn and then left onto Kanis. While on Kanis the vehicle continued to flee at a high rate of speed and blew through an intersection while his light was red. We turned right onto John Barrow and the vehicle reached speeds of approximately 105 MPH and blew through two intersections while the light was red. The Altima then turned left onto 42nd street and immediately stopped on Tatum St and bailed on foot. I pursued after the driver on foot. The driver ran towards 41st street where he bailed into a wooded area. The driver was a skinny black male wearing a white tank top with blue or black shorts and had long to medium style dreads.
