Arkansas State Police #arkansasstatepolice On September 15, 2023, approximately 12:36AM, I (Trp. Jacob Byrd) was sitting on Interstate 630 East at the 6A working on paperwork while running stationary radar. While stationary, I received a reading of 72mph on radar off a vehicle approaching me from behind. As the vehicle passed me, I was able to identify it as a dark colored Jeep Grand Cherokee (V1). After V1 passed, I flashed my spotlight at V1. When I flashed my spotlight at V1, I did so in hopes V1 would slow down. However, V1 did the opposite and began to speed up. As V1 began speeding up I received a front radar read of 77mph. At this point, I began trying to catch up to V1 to initiate a traffic stop. When I was catching up to V1, it was obvious that V1 was now traveling at speeds more than 100mph and not slowing down. I had my front radar on which received a speed of 115mph just before I caught up to V1. As I got closer to V1 around Woodrow Street, I initiated my emergency equipment. With the gap between V1 and myself closing, V1 abruptly exit I630EB at Broadway continuing east onto the service road. At this time V1 almost struck another vehicle causing a crash but was able to regain control and continued fleeing. Shortly after, V1 came to a final stop on the service road at Center Street. The driver (S1) and passengers (S2, S3, S4) were placed into custody where eventually the passengers were released. S1 remained in custody and was transported to the Pulaski County Jail where he was charged with the following: 5-54-125(d)(3) 2023: FLEEING - FELONY - VEHICLE OR CONVEYANCE - SUBSTANTIAL DANGER OF DEATH 27-50-308(b)(1)(B) 1ST: RECKLESS DRIVING - 1ST 27-50-302(a)(7): SPEEDING - MORE THAN 15 MPH OVER LIMIT 27-51-104(b)(1): IMPROPER OR UNSAFE LANE CHANGE 27-51-601(d): FAIL TO OBEY STOP SIGN
