Report: On January 17th, 2026, at approximately 12:56 am, I was patrolling Interstate 430 South around the David O. Dodd Overpass with Trp. Dustin Medford #623. Trp. Medford was currently in Field Training as an Officer in Training (OIT) as I acted as his Field Training Officer (FTO). As I was driving, I observed a gray 2017 Rav4, bearing Arkansas license plate 080ZGG, traveling in the inside traffic lane passing all other vehicles at a high rate of speed. I activated my rear RADAR and measured the vehicle’s speed at 100 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone. The Rav4 passed me then made an improper lane change by crossing over the middle lane into the outside traffic lane in one movement. Even after I positioned my patrol car behind the vehicle, it continued to travel at approximately 91 miles per hour before taking Exit 1 Stagecoach Road. I activated my emergency blue lights to perform a traffic stop. After doing so, the Rav4 turned west on Stagecoach Road and abruptly accelerated to approximately 71 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone. The Rav4 also passed multiple side streets and open parking lots that were available to stop. I notified the Troop A Communication Center that I was in pursuit. Due to the unsafe driving behavior of the fleeing Rav4, I conducted a successful Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) by placing my front right bumper on the Rav4’s rear left quarter panel and turned right, causing the Rav4 to rotate in a counter clockwise motion. After the successful TVI, I pinned the Rav4 with my front bumper against its rear right quarter panel, ending the pursuit. To the point where I conducted the TVI since activating my emergency blue lights, the RAV4 had not activated its brakes. Trp. Medford and I exited our patrol car with our service weapons drawn to conduct a felony traffic stop. I began to give verbal commands to all five occupants of the vehicle. The driver was Mr. Labryan J.N. Blue, the front seat passenger was Ms. Brittany Hurvey, the rear left passenger was Mr. Treyvone Wright, the rear middle passenger was Ms. Alexis C. McClain, and the rear right passenger was Mr. Chrislan O. Ross With the assistance of the Little Rock Police Department and other Troopers of the Arkansas State Police, each occupant was ordered out of the vehicle and placed into handcuffs. I found a small baggie of suspected Marijuana hidden between the front passenger seat and center console. I also found a large bag of suspected Marijuana inside a backpack that was laying in the rear right passenger seat where Mr. Ross was sitting. There was also a digital scale inside the backpack. I then interviewed the driver, Mr. Blue. Before talking with him, I read him his Miranda Rights, which he indicated he understood. I could smell the odor of intoxicants coming from his person. His eyes were watery and bloodshot. He was highly agitated and it was difficult to interact with him. When I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed, he said that he had drunk three to four shots of liquor before driving. Trp. Medford interviewed Mr. Ross after reading him his Miranda Rights. Mr. Ross admitted to being in possession of the large bag of suspected Marijuana and digital scale. All other occupants were released without charges. During my entire interaction with Mr. Blue, he was highly agitated and uncooperative. He would not obey directions and continuously used expletives and called us names. Mr. Blue also threatened and motioned that he would spit on us. During the handcuffing process of Mr. Blue during the felony traffic stop, he pulled his body and hands away from me and a Little Rock Police Officer to avoid being placed in handcuffs. Due to Mr. Blue’s violent nature, I did not read the Arkansas Statement of Rights or attempt a breath test for officer safety reasons. After being medically cleared, Mr. Blue and Mr. Ross were transported to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility and booked for the following charges: Mr. Blue: A.C.A. 5-54-125(D)(3) 2023: Fleeing - Felony - Vehicle Or Conveyance - Substantial Danger Of Death A.C.A. 5-71-207: Disorderly Conduct A.C.A. 5-64-419(B)(5)(A): Possess Controlled Substance Sched Vi 4 Oz A.C.A 5-54-103(B): Refusal To Submit To Arrest A.C.A. 27-50-308(B)(1)(B) 1st: Reckless Driving - 1st A.C.A. 27-51-201, 27-50-302(7): Speeding - More Than 15 Mph Over Limit A.C.A. 27-37-702: No Seatbelt A.C.A. 5-65-103 1st: Driving While Intoxicated - Dwi 1st A.C.A. 5-65-205: Refusal To Submit To Chemical Test Mr. Ross: A.C.A. 5-64-436(B)(3): Possess W Purpose Del Controlled Substance Sched Vi = 4 Oz 25 Lbs A.C.A. 5-64-443(A)(1): Possess Drug Paraphernalia
