*HAPPY FRIDAY!* On Thursday, July 31, 2025, at approximately 0138 hours, I observed a silver Dodge Charger traveling above the posted speed limit. While merging onto Interstate 30 Westbound from the north interchange, a silver Charger with paper tags passed me traveling 75 in a 60-mph zone. As we passed the Broadway Exit, I activated my emergency lights and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle ignored the lights and continued driving at the same speed. While waiting for another unit to get close, I followed the vehicle with lights and siren activated to Interstate 630 Westbound. The vehicle then took exit 1A before coming to a stop at the top of the ramp. As I was exiting my patrol car, the vehicle took off and a pursuit ensued. The vehicle turned south onto Cumberland Street, running a red light on the south side of Interstate 630. We continued south on Cumberland before turning west onto 16th Street. While on 16th Street, the suspect vehicle ran multiple stop signs, including Broadway and Chester without slowing down. After crossing over MLK, the vehicle turned north onto S Battery Street. After running the stop light at 12th Street, I conducted a successful TVI, ending the pursuit. A short time later, other ASP units arrived to assist before the driver, Carlos Butler, was taken into custody without further incident. Butler made statements saying that he wasn’t fleeing. He then changed his story, stating that he fled because he had a suspended driver’s license, and that he did not want his vehicle towed. After Action Wrecker arrived to take possession of the vehicle, I transported Butler to the Bryant Heart Hospital where he was medically cleared. He was then transported to the Pulaski County Jail and charged with the following: 5-54-125(d)(3) Fleeing Felony C, 27-50-308 Reckless Driving, 5-71-218 Open Container Containing Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle, 27-16-303 Driving on a Suspended License, 27-37-702 No Seatbelt, 27-32-101 Unsafe Vehicle, 27-51-201 Speeding More than 15 Over the Limit, 27 51-601 Fail to Obey Stop Sign, 27-22-104 No Proof of Insurance, 27-52-107 Fail to Stop at Red Light, and 27-51-403 Fail to Use Turn Signals.
