Trooper Ian Nelson and Joshua Broughton, responded to assist Ashdown PD with a pursuit of a fleeing suspect. A pit maneuver was performed to end the pursuit and a baby was in the vehicle! Trooper Nelson's Report: On 10/16/2020, at approximately 07:14 p.m., I, Trooper Ian Nelson with the Arkansas State Police, was attending the Ashdown vs. Nashville football game with TFC Josh Broughton in Ashdown, Arkansas. While watching the game, a Little River EMS employee was in direct contact with the Little River Sheriff's Office dispatch, who advised that Ashdown Police Department was in pursuit on US highway 71, in Ashdown. TFC Broughton left the game and I followed. Due to having a spare patrol vehicle, I did not have the correct radio frequency of Ashdown Police Department, so I could not hear their radio traffic. While responding to the pursuit, I followed TFC Broughton, who turned south onto S Constitution Avenue. I noticed a silver Honda Civic, with the hazard lights on, with several police cars with lights and sirens, pursuing the vehicle at a high rate of speed. I turned my patrol unit around and joined the pursuit, traveling north bound on S Constitution Avenue with speeds up to 93 mph. Due to the continuous flow of traffic on the roadway, the Ashdown Police unit not having a PIT policy, and the cars stopped in both north bound traffic lanes ahead at the intersection of N Constitution and E Main St, I made a split second decision to use a PIT maneuver to disable the vehicle to preserve human life. When I exited my patrol vehicle, I drew my service weapon and advised the driver of the silver Honda Civic, later identified as Alexius Monique Moss, to show me her hands and exit the vehicle. While placing Moss into hand restraints, officers noticed a one-year old baby in a car seat in the back seat. Little River County EMS arrived on scene and checked on both Moss and her baby. Due to Covid-19, and the Little River County Jail being overpopulated, Moss was transported to the Hempstead County Jail and charged with Felony Fleeing and Endangering The Welfare Of A Minor. The minor was picked up by the grandmother at the Little River Sheriff's Office. #arkansas #arkansasstatepolice #chase #police #pursuit #pit #tvi #dashcam #crash
