He's around the [ __ ] We're down here. >> A stolen Ford Mustang, speeds topping 120 mph, multiple police agencies, and a suspect who would eventually admit he knew he was going to jail anyway. What you're about to watch is one of those pursuits that seems impossible to sustain. The driver disappears from police sight, not once, but twice. Yet somehow, every move he makes puts him right back in front of Arkansas State Police. Tonight, we'll break down how a stolen Mustang turned into a countywide manus after losing him and how one final intervention ended the chase for good. driver. Stay until the end because the suspect's explanation for running may be the most unbelievable part of the entire assistance from Arkansas State Police. What's important to understand is that this wasn't just one department chasing a stolen car. As [snorts] a pursuit developed, multiple agencies began positioning units throughout the area. That decision would become critical later. Eventually, Conway officers lost visual contact with the Mustang near mile marker 117. For many suspects, that would have been the end of the story. But this driver wasn't as invisible as he thought. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Get out of your way. >> After disappearing from Conway officers, the Mustang was spotted again near Malmarker 111. The suspect exited Interstate 40 and headed north toward Morlton. At this point, Arkansas State Police Sergeant J5 observed the vehicle and took over the pursuit. The suspect was clearly trying to create separation. He was changing roads frequently and forcing officers to constantly reposition. But every time law enforcement lost sight of him, another officer seemed to be waiting somewhere ahead. That level of coordination is one of the reasons Arkansas State Police pursuits are often successful. So whale whale whale whale whale whale whale? going to try to turn five set by somebody like PD let me go by 265 >> I'm behind 35 now. 35. I can take care of this radio traffic now. 82 right now. Can you give me a unit 32 behind 35? >> Notice how close the trooper remains to the Mustang. The suspect isn't simply driving fast. According to the report, he was swerving, crossing center lines, and operating recklessly. Eventually, speeds would exceed 120 mph. On roads like these, that becomes extremely dangerous. There are blind corners, driveways, oncoming traffic, and very little room for error. One mistake from either driver could have ended this pursuit in a catastrophic crash. Another thing Yeah. Up on 124. Turning left on 124. 4 miles outside of Marlin. Going back up there. Where'd he go? As the pursuit continued, the suspect began making decisions that increased the danger level even further. According to the report, he repeatedly slammed on the brakes while being pursued. During one of those sudden breaking events, the pursuing trooper was unable to stop in time. The patrol vehicle made contact with the rear of the Mustang. A short time later, it happened again. Despite the impacts, the Mustang continued running. The collisions were described as minor, but they show how unpredictable the suspect had become. Great thing on the big hill coming up right now going 115. I have one thing before. Going over here right now. I'm ahead of it. I'm trying to find cover. I'm down here, but I'm not finding good enough. Okay, I'm going to try to get rally pretty road. Y Valley if you come down there. >> What the driver likely didn't know was that another Arkansas State Police unit had already positioned itself ahead of the pursuit. Trooper J30 was waiting near Highway 326. This is where the chase began moving towards its conclusion. Once the Mustang reached the area, troopers had an opportunity to stop the pursuit before someone was seriously injured. The suspect had already demonstrated that he had no intention of surrendering voluntarily and every additional mile increased the danger to the public. >> See if we can get him in the ditch. By all means, hit it if you can. You going to try and do it back up. Be careful. Okay. On this curve, I don't know if there's no road behind it. a little better clean. They're coming to you. If you can get up to that intersection, be right in front of them. the other further down. >> Here it comes. Trooper J30 executes a pit maneuver. The Mustang begins losing control. Before the suspect can recover, another trooper conducts what the report describes as a lawful, intentional intervention. The patrol vehicle drives into the driver's side of the Mustang and pins it against the ditch. Just like that, the pursuit is over. After all the miles covered, all the agencies involved, and all the opportunities to stop, the stolen Mustang can go no further. Look at that. Yeah, I'm out with him. We're about 3,000 block. Good. Because they didn't turn right. >> This car's fast. >> Huh? >> Car's fast. Thank you. traffic. I couldn't copy all units for 104. We are 105 69. >> I tried. >> Good job, girl. 4J 46 I don't All right. >> The most revealing moment came after the arrest. According to the Arkansas State Police report, officers asked the suspect a simple question. Was it worth it? His answer was surprisingly casual. He reportedly stated that he was going to jail anyway and figured he might as well keep running. Think about that. A pursuit involving multiple agencies, speeds over 120 mph, repeated opportunities to surrender, and in the end, the suspect admitted he knew the outcome was likely inevitable. >> Located So you're just having fun then just have fun. You know what I mean? >> Yes, sir. >> 101. >> I'm behind county sheriff right now. Okay.
