163 MPH Motorcycle Evades Trooper Hopper on I-49 in Bentonville

Disclaimer: This description avoids spoilers — all outcomes appear only within the video. Just after midnight on October 5th, 2025, Trooper Harley Hopper of Arkansas State Police Troop L clocked a black motorcycle flying southbound on Interstate 49 near the 86-mile marker at 100 MPH in a 70 zone. As the single headlight grew closer, the rider briefly slowed — then locked eyes with the trooper’s patrol unit before blasting away at full throttle. Hopper activated lights and sirens, but the rider willfully fled, darting between lanes and blowing past traffic at an unbelievable 163 MPH. The motorcycle exited at Mile 83, weaved through surface streets on N 52nd Street and New Hope Road, then reentered I-49 heading north. Despite Trooper Hopper’s pursuit, the bike maintained distance before disappearing near Exit 85, vanishing into the night. After checking nearby parking lots and ramps for debris or a crash, Hopper found no sign of the rider — a chase that ended with speed, darkness, and mystery. 📌 Incident Details Date: October 5, 2025 Time: 12:04 AM Location: I-49 SB @ MM 86 → Exits 83–85, Bentonville, AR Vehicle: Unknown black motorcycle (no plate visible) Trooper: Harley Hopper (#411, ASP Troop L) Outcome: [Revealed in video] ⚡ Pursuit Highlights Radar reading 100 → 163 MPH Rider looked directly at Trooper Hopper before fleeing Reckless lane changes and extreme acceleration Traveled through multiple exits and surface roads Lost visual near Exit 85 after high-speed reentry to I-49 No collision or suspect found after search ⚖️ Likely Charges Fleeing (Vehicle — Exceeding Speed Limit) Reckless Driving / Endangering Safety Speeding 100 MPH Failure to Yield to Emergency Vehicle Improper Passing / Lane Usage 🔖 Hashtags #ArkansasStatePolice #HighSpeedPursuit #BentonvilleAR
