On August 25, 2025, what began as a traffic stop attempt quickly escalated into a motorcycle pursuit in Fort Smith. Arkansas State Police Troopers Grady Pettigrew, Matthew Price, and Diego Araujo all found themselves in the mix as the rider of a Kawasaki motorcycle refused to stop.
Dashcam footage from multiple troopers shows the pursuit unfolding across both city streets and open stretches. Each trooper took a different role as speeds escalated, traffic grew unpredictable, and the rider pushed the limits of control.
This video highlights how Arkansas State Police coordinate during complex pursuits and the importance of maintaining discipline and communication when multiple units are involved.
