When Little Rock police need backup for a runaway suspect, they summon their champion. Arkansas State Police trooper Jacob Bird on March 5th, 2024. What started as a simple stolen vehicle sighting quickly escalated as the driver of a white Nissan Altea blew through red lights and intersections, leaving chaos behind. With lives on the line, local officers knew this one required the legend himself. And Bird was already rolling east on Interstate 4040, ready to take over. >> A little bit heavier. Traffic speeds are 93 milesPH still eastbound. Inter 52 ASP. What's your 20? >> He's on top of him. He's coming in hot. >> Okay. All right. All right. Yeah, we we'll move over as soon as you get up here, buddy. ASP is fixing to pit him. So when we pit him to gunpoint out, gunpoint, don't hesitate. Get out. And I want I want radio silence after TBI.

When the dust settled, Little Rock police took the suspect into custody and booked him on multiple charges, including theft of property, felony fleeing with substantial danger of death, and open container violation. The stolen vehicle was recovered, though damaged. For Bird and the local officers, it was another dangerous case closed and another example of why teamwork between agencies saves lives. On December 16th, 2021, during evening patrol on GA13, Georgia State Trooper Aponte Go noticed a silver Honda Civic drifting across lanes the driver's attention fixed on his phone instead of the road. What should have been a simple texting while driving stop took a sharp turn the moment blue lights came on. The driver hit the accelerator and turned a minor violation into a major incident that would spiral far beyond traffic court. Right, shoulder, heavy traffic. Right shoulder traffic [Music] [Music] 13 south coming up on exit 85. Hit the wall. Hit a white van. Great. Set up for a bit. 13 south. Pit p hit 1050 1052 1018 >> put your damn hands out.

Investigators recovered narcotics cash and a firearm from the car. Macdonald was charged with felony fleeing, drug possession with intent to distribute, and resisting arrest. His passenger was released without charges, and the Honda was impounded as evidence. On May 9th, 2023, a black GMC Yukon with the wrong plate drew the attention of an Arkansas State Trooper near Jonesboro. Behind the wheel was Timmy Lynn Davis, and his reaction to those flashing lights would trigger one of the most destructive pursuits the city had seen in years. It began with a registration check and ended rewriting a criminal record. [Music] [Music] 237 from the 37 northbound to the black 48 crossover behind you. Just let you know I'm in a Brooklyn. [Music] Jones, we start down Jake Street. Dead end. He's going to bail out on foot toward uh standby. >> I'm going to try to get this trailer northbound on 460 northbound on 460.

He's in the ditch. >> He's uh he's out in the mud. >> We are in the Wover Heights subdivision right now where police and a tow truck have found that truck that was involved. And you can see over my shoulder here, it's in this drainage ditch. >> After his arrest, Timmy Lynn Davis faced a lengthy list of charges and was later sentenced to 40 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. He was also ordered to pay more than $85,000 in restitution for property damage and vehicle theft. For prosecutors, it was one of the most reckless cases they'd ever handled. And for Davis, it was the end of the road in more ways than one. The Florida sun was shining bright on March 22nd, 2024, when a troop patrol car spotted something that didn't fit the picture. A white Honda SUV barreling down the highway with its high beams flashing and wipers flailing despite crystalclear skies. To the Florida Highway Patrol trooper behind the wheel, the erratic behavior could only mean one thing. The driver wasn't sober. [Music] >> I'm on marker 314.

It's so dirty in here. >> Turn around and you get back in. That's cool. >> Yeah, man. >> Put your feet in. >> Put your feet in. >> I like indigo. >> Put your feet in. >> I like indigo every day. >> Oh, yeah. The young driver exhibited clear signs of impairment and later failed a breath test. He was booked into the Sumpter County Jail for driving under the influence, reckless driving, and fleeing to elude. The trooper's quick response likely prevented a tragedy proof that even daylight can hide danger when someone decides to drive drunk. Traffic was moving steady through Craighead County on October 3rd, 2024 until a tan SUV ripped past, doing 90 in a 60-mile zone. Corporal Todd Harris spun around and hit his siren only to watch the driver push even harder. A choice that would set off one of the most intense pursuits of the fall. Go behind you. He's swinging towards you. Get that charger in before we get to Arkansas. I'm secondary 42. I'm calling driving in oncoming traffic. Roll over. Start 15. Roll start assist. Run on foot. on the ground. >> When it was over, Rashun Demon, Gary was treated for minor injuries before being booked into the Craig Head County Detention Center. He now faces felony fleeing and seconddegree battery with a $75,000 cash-only bond, keeping him behind bars. Trooper Drum, who sustained facial cuts during the crash, was released from the hospital later that day. The incident left no fatalities, but plenty of reminders about the thin line between control and catastrophe. On July 14th, 2024, a quiet Arkansas highway became the scene of a dangerous pursuit. Behind the wheel of a gray Kia fort was Charles Odum, a registered level three sex offender with multiple warrants hanging over his head. When trooper Jonathan Bass tried to make contact, Odum's response wasn't cooperation. It was acceleration. Within seconds, the pursuit spled into a desperate run from accountability at over 100 mph. >> 270 mph supervisor moving over to the right traffic issues. See, he's bassing on the right. [Music] I think it's called white. 21. >> He's getting back on the road. Awesome, man. GET OUT. GET OUT. >> The chase came to an abrupt and decisive end after trooper Bass executed a hard pit maneuver, sending the Kia spinning to a halt. Odum was taken into custody without further resistance. His brief run from justice finally over. For someone already branded a level three sex offender, this reckless escape only cemented his path toward an even longer stay behind bars. It was late in the evening on June 22nd, 2024 when Trooper Wright wrapped up a traffic stop along Interstate 40, only to hear the chaos unfold over the radio. West Memphis officers were in hot pursuit of a gray Dodge Caravan flying eastbound, its Mississippi tags flashing by at tripledigit speeds. Within seconds, Wright slammed on his lights, joined the chase, and the quiet Arkansas night turned into a blur of sirens and danger. It's a given. >> All right, I'll be with them. >> D23 on [Music] [Music] TV. >> Yeah. >> The driver was identified as Theon Rashad Loveberry, who miraculously survived after falling out of his own vehicle while it was still traveling over 70 mph.

Sometimes the pavement teaches lessons no courtroom ever could. Saturday, August 6th, 2022, a deputy from Foresight County spots a silver Ford Fusion cruising south on Georgia 400. The car matches a bolo from Dawson County, four women suspected of shoplifting. The deputy hits the lights expecting a routine stop, but the quiet moment on the shoulder turns deceptive. And when the PA orders go ignored, the fusion suddenly bolts. [Music] >> Let Dawson know I have them stop. We're southbound is 413 four times. driver. Get out of the car. [Music] Right there. Taking off on me. Going southbound. [Music] 2450. You got charges on the pit. >> All four women, Bernaldia Stevens, Desanna Herd, Jasmine Kanty, and Marquita Thomas were eventually arrested after a clean pit maneuver brought the chase to an end. Stevens faced reckless driving, fleeing, or attempting to elude, and possession of marijuana. Thomas was charged with forgery in the second degree, and the others were handed over on their own warrants. What began as petty theft ended in flashing blue lights and lost freedom. August 16th, 2019, a morning commute in Wisconsin turns into a highway horror show. Drivers on Interstate 41 watched in disbelief as a pickup truck came barreling toward them in the wrong direction. At the wheel was Jonathan Tease, a man so impaired and reckless that deputies could only hope to stop him before someone died. [Music] How do you follow [Music] up to me? [Music] [Music] [Music] If you get a slow down right here, you can try this. [Music] 172 483 north. Copy. 172 43 north. [Music] inbounded [Music] [Music] the ditch in the ditch.

He faced a long list of charges, including two counts of secondderee recklessly endangering safety, fleeing an officer, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Investigators later confirmed he was under the influence of drugs. For those who saw that truck coming head-on, it's a miracle the day didn't end in tragedy. March 14th, 2024, what started as a simple traffic stop in Espanola, New Mexico, quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation. A state police officer patrolling County Road 57 tried to stop a black twodoor Honda that had been reported stolen in the TA area. Behind the wheel was Jeremiah Medina, a 31-year-old man from Espanola Valley with an active warrant and a long record of bad decisions. >> Approaching the mile post 3 correction 40 mile post 40.

Police returned fire, killing him at the scene. Investigators later confirmed Medina was wanted in connection with a motor vehicle shooting case from January and had a warrant for his arrest.

He was taken to Memorial Hospital for evaluation before being booked into jail. Milsaps told troopers he thought the owner wouldn't report it. Safe to say that assumption didn't age well. It was just past noon on April 7th, 2025 when an Arkansas State trooper noticed a silver Nissan Alultima with a cracked windshield coasting past his position. The driver seemed calm, almost too calm, but when the trooper flipped on his lights, that calm vanished in an instant. The Alima darted down a side road and a quiet traffic stop turned into a highstakes pursuit. He's taking off. Taking off. Taking off. Taking off. >> 25 more. 1037. 1037.
