Title
Arkansas State Police HIGH SPEED PURSUIT on icy roads - Honda Accord with fictitious license plate
Description
Trooper's Narrative: On February 1, 2023, at approximately 6:59 A.M., I was traveling northbound on Interstate 540 near the 11-mile marker when I observed a Green Honda Accord ahead of me. I searched the Arkansas license plate number 230ZPH through ACIC and it returned to a maroon 2012 Chevrolet Cruze with a suspended registration. At the 9-mile marker, I waited on the exit ramp for the vehicle to pass by me and once it did I notified Troop H Communications of the license plate and the Operator advised that the registration was indeed suspended. I advised that I was going to initiate a traffic stop near Rogers Avenue due to the shoulders of the Interstate still being iced over in some areas. The suspect vehicle merged onto the exit ramp at the 8-mile marker northbound (Rogers Avenue) and I initiated my emergency lights. The suspect vehicle turned westbound on Rogers Avenue and turned northbound on Burnham Road. At approximately 7:02 A.M., the suspect vehicle picked up speed, and I notified Troop H Communications that I was pursuing the suspect vehicle. The suspect vehicle was traveling at speeds of approximately 70-75 miles per hour northbound on Burnham Rd. The road conditions were dry and traffic conditions were light in this area. The suspect vehicle turned west (left) onto Free Ferry Road and picked up speed. The suspect vehicle continued west on Free Ferry crossing Waldron Road and continued across Albert Pike Avenue, while not stopping at the stop sign. The suspect vehicle continued on Free Ferry Road and turned right (west) on Rogers Avenue. The suspect vehicle then turned north (right) onto Sweet Avenue, west (left) on Barry Avenue and ramped across Lecta Avenue at the intersection, and turned north (right) onto May Avenue. The suspect vehicle continued through multiple intersections and turned east (right) onto Kinkead Avenue. Ice patches were on the roadway on Kinkead Avenue and the suspect turned left (north) onto N 32nd Street and continued north across Grand Avenue where the suspect ran the stop light. I terminated the pursuit due to the suspect's disregard for intersections and the worsening road conditions.
