10-4. >> This guy is about to get punched in the face. Watch. >> GET OUT OF THE GET OUT. >> THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU refuse to obey a police order. Keep watching to find out how it started and what eventually happened to him. What begins as a routine speed observation on Highway 18 quickly turns into a pursuit reaching speeds of more than 130 miles per hour ending with a tactical vehicle intervention and multiple arrests in Blytheville. At approximately 11:21 p.m. on August 19th, Trooper Teddy Henderson was traveling westbound on Highway 18 when his radar clocked an approaching vehicle at 82 miles per hour in a posted 60 mile per hour zone giving him reason to initiate a traffic stop. The Trooper activated his emergency lights before the vehicle passed, but instead of slowing down, the driver accelerated away immediately turning what had started as a speeding violation into a failure to stop for police. Henderson switched his moving radar to track the vehicle from behind and the numbers quickly climbed from 113 miles per hour to 130 while the Trooper accelerated to more than 130 himself trying to close the distance. >> They're about to T V I right here at 6th Street and 18. T V I 10-4. >> 16th going northbound on 16th now. >> The trooper made another attempt as the vehicle approached North 16th Street, this time forcing it up over the curb and bringing it to a stop just south of Walnut Street. The vehicle is finally immobilized, but the situation is far from over because the driver is now trying to escape from the vehicle rather than surrender. >> Got four three males. >> Officers eventually gained control of Johnson and placed him into custody, bringing the driver's part of the pursuit to an end, but there was still another person inside the vehicle. The trooper turned his attention to the backseat passenger, Tedrick Washington, who was being ordered to exit the vehicle but was not complying with the commands. According to the report, Washington remained inside despite repeated commands, prompting the trooper to break the window to create another exit path and continue ordering him to crawl out. >> Crawl out the car. Crawl out the car. Crawl out the car. Crawl out the car. >> The report states that Washington continued refusing to come out even after the window had been broken, and the trooper then attempted to physically assist him out of the vehicle. As Washington pulled against the officer, the situation became physical, and according to the trooper's account, Washington appeared to posture as though he might strike, prompting the officer to deliver a closed fist strike to the left side of his face. Washington continued pulling away as officers attempted to remove him from the vehicle, and the struggle eventually moved to the ground beside the car. Once on the ground, Washington continued resisting attempts to control his arms with officers repeatedly ordering him to give them his hands. The troopers report states that another strike was delivered when Washington continued resisting and officers eventually managed to free one hand and begin applying handcuffs. Washington's other arm remained tucked underneath him, forcing officers to reposition him before they could bring that arm behind his back. After continued resistance, officers finally gained control of both arms and fully handcuffed Washington, ending the physical struggle beside the vehicle. The front seat passenger, Merendus Jackson, had taken a very different path through the encounter. According to the report, Jackson complied with officers' commands to exit with his hands up and was later released without charges. >> Y'all good? >> We got tased. >> They tased him. >> Okay, so we got the driver, we got him off. >> Yeah. >> Okay, good. >> Y'all good? Everybody good? Y'all good? All right. >> Negative. Me and Bravo got it wrapped up. Appreciate it. >> Let me back my car up a little. Stand him up. Let me back my car up. Stand him up and lean him up against the front of my car. >> The vehicle was towed from the scene while the driver, Adonorous Johnson, was taken to the Mississippi County Sheriff's Office for further processing. There, Johnson agreed to provide a breath sample after being read the Arkansas DWI statement of rights and the reported result was a blood alcohol concentration of 0.17, more than twice the 0.08 legal limit for driving. According to the report, Johnson was subsequently booked on charges including DWI, felony fleeing, reckless driving, speeding more than 15 mph over the limit, failure to stop at a red light, improper passing on the right, resisting arrest, no seatbelt, and unauthorized use of another person's property to facilitate a felony. Tedrick Washington was also taken into custody and, according to the report, was booked on charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental operations.
