The driver kept swerving aggressively and blasting through closed lanes at speeds topping 120 mph, forcing troopers to balance pursuit tactics with the danger posed to nearby workers and traffic. We're continuing westbound on 30. Seated 15 All right. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. 216 and it's a successful pit. >> SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. SHOW [screaming] ME YOUR HANDS. DO IT NOW. SHOW ME YOUR HANDS.

April 21st, 2023, Arkansas State Police pursued a Nissan Armada weaving through Greenwood and nearby intersections while officers tried to predict the driver's next move. The SUV repeatedly ignored opportunities to stop, turning busy city streets into an obstacle course for both troopers and civilian drivers. 11 Forceman 1024 >> 11 >> just took the exit at the 10 north.

If I can't drive to that parking lot comfortably, I might have somebody tow headquarters. >> All right. >> Who do y'all use the >> Anybody available? >> All righty. After two separate tactical interventions finally brought the Armada to a halt, officers secured the suspect and began arranging towing for the damaged vehicle. Troopers remained on scene sorting traffic issues and vehicle recovery logistics while the driver was taken away to face fleeing related charges. On August 19th, 2022, troopers encountered an unlicensed driver behaving erratically around Arkansas State Police Headquarters and slowly circling the parking lot like he had accidentally wandered into the worst possible place to attract attention. Officers quickly realized the situation was becoming unpredictable, especially with the driver ranting about robberies, drugs, and people supposedly after him. Your >> way possible. Are you the only one today? 132, right? >> Yeah. He's still just snaking doing like figure eights to the parking lot at like 10 miles an hour. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

Let me call my mom. >> I want to call know what was going on. >> I ain't did nothing. I told they did nothing. >> Once the stop ended, troopers pulled the man from the truck and restrained him. After repeated outbursts and confused explanations, officers later noted concerns about his mental state while continuing the investigation into the suspicious behavior and traffic related violations connected to the incident. September 1st, 2022, Arkansas State Police took over a pursuit from Little Rock officers after a driver decided ignoring blue lights was somehow worth the risk. Units coordinated carefully while the suspect continued driving evasively, stretching the pursuit long enough for troopers to prepare for a potentially dangerous stop. Um, but it's water engage check guys. Block me. Block me. Block me. Show me your head. Move over here. Move over here. >> Hands up. Can y'all see that passenger? >> No passenger. >> Step out. >> Don't move. Stop right there. 383 that you go on that wall. >> We knew what happened out. to pick you up.

It's going to be on the right hand side. You're coming in. What's that again? >> Yes, sir. I should go to the other side. >> Oh. When the driver still would not comply, troopers shattered the truck's window and physically pulled him from the cab to end the standoff. Officers placed the suspect under arrest at the scene, concluding a pursuit that left damaged property and a very unhappy neighborhood behind. August 20th, 2022, an Arkansas state police trooper found himself chasing a motorcycle rider who treated 130 mph like a casual cruising speed. The rider sliced through traffic with barely any clearance while the trooper stayed patient enough to avoid turning the pursuit into a catastrophe for everyone else on the highway. >> Get out of the way. Move. 196 It's going to be a black male. He's wearing red pants. >> I got several units around me. Driver, GET OFF THE BIKE.

Eventually, the rider's confidence started fading as speeds dropped and the pursuit shifted from a sprint into a waiting game. The motorcyclist finally pulled over and surrendered peacefully, leading to an arrest centered around reckless driving and felony fleeing allegations tied to the extreme speeds. On October 10th, 2022, an Arkansas state trooper responded to a jeep fire that quickly became far more dangerous once shotgun shells inside the vehicle started [music] exploding from the heat. The roadside emergency forced officers and responders to keep their distance because every loud blast sent debris flying unpredictably around the burning wreck. The fire started spreading to the media and we're going to have to call the eastbound lane check. Sorry y >> we got that out over there. Maybe >> Yeah, they are to be able to >> We don't need this [ __ ] going no further than it is. >> No, not as dry as it is. >> No, that's why I stopped. >> Is that the driver up there? >> I don't know where the driver is. going up. >> I bet it's a battery.

Emergency crews eventually secured the area and prevented civilians from getting too close while firefighters worked to control the blaze. Investigators later confirmed the ammunition had been discharging from the intense heat alone, turning an ordinary vehicle fire into a chaotic and hazardous scene for everyone nearby. That final stop brought this pursuit to a close, although the aftermath was only beginning once investigators started sorting through everything tied to the case.
