Trooper's Report:

While on patrol and running moving radar I observed V1 traveling at a high rate of speed on the 89 South bypass in the city of
Mayflower. I activated my rear antenna and verified V1's speed to be at 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. I turned around and began
to attempt to close the distance on V1. V1 traveled from Highway 89 S onto the eastbound entrance of Interstate 40 East. As I
closed the distance, I activated my lights and then ultimately my siren due to the speed achieved. Once I knew that the driver of
V1 (D1) was aware that I was behind him, I notified the Arkansas State Police Troop A Communications Center that I was in
pursuit.

The pursuit continued on Interstate 40 East reaching speeds of approximately 122 MPH. D1 began passing cars on the
shoulder and driving erratic. I was then notified by Tfc. Ethan Carlton that D1 was in contact with the Faulkner County
Communications Center. He advised that he was not stopping at that he was going home due to an emergency involving his
daughter. The phone call was then transferred to the Arkansas State Police Communications Center. In the meantime, V1
exited Interstate 40 East to State Highway 365 at the 142-mile marker. V1 turned left and traveled north on State Highway 365
at a high rate of speed and reckless. At one point, V1 passed on a double yellow nearly hitting a car head on. I advised the
Arkansas State Police Communications to tell him that if he did not stop, I was going to perform a P.I.T. maneuver. V1 then
turned left onto Lunn Road from State Highway 365 continuing to travel at a high rate of speed. At this point I had an
opportunity to conduct a T.V.I. and therefore a successful T.V.I. was conducted.

As I exited my vehicle with my handgun drawn and light activated, I observed D1's hands to be empty and visible through the
windshield. I gave verbal commands to D1 as I sliced the pie on V1. The driver exited V1 and was taken into custody without
further incident. As other Troopers responded I asked them to go to the house to check on the daughter of D1. As it turns out
there was no emergency, and the daughter was found to be fine.

V1 was towed by Jim Smith Wrecker Service. D1 was transported to Faulkner County Unit II and charged with Fleeing 5-54-
125 (d)(2).
