On November 20th, 2023, what started as a simple patrol on Interstate 430 South quickly turned into something far more dangerous. A black Ford Mustang with a broken headlight refused to pass a state trooper, slowing in the middle lane as if waiting for trouble. That little hesitation was the spark that lit the fuse.
