All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. What began with an Arkansas State Trooper observing a red Kawasaki motorcycle slightly exceeding the speed limit quickly developed into a high-speed nighttime pursuit through residential streets in Fort Smith. According to the official Arkansas State Police report, Trooper Tucker Phelps was near South Greenwood Avenue and South O Street when he observed a red 2016 Kawasaki EX300 traveling ahead of him. The motorcycle continued onto South 23rd Street and began gaining speed. Trooper Phelps' radar initially showed approximately 35 MPH in a posted 30 MPH zone, but the motorcycle continued accelerating. Phelps reported having to reach approximately 55 MPH just to catch up. After the motorcycle passed South R Street, Phelps activated his emergency lights and siren and attempted a traffic stop. The rider allegedly continued accelerating instead of stopping, beginning a pursuit that reached approximately 80 MPH through a residential area. The chase soon took an unusual turn when the motorcycle allegedly ran a stop sign and left the pavement, traveling off-road toward Jenny Lind Road. The rider continued behind a local business before returning to Boston Street, but the motorcycle soon went off-road again. Watch the full dashcam footage to see how the pursuit unfolds. 📌 INCIDENT DETAILS • Date: August 10, 2026 • Time: Approximately 10:04 PM • Initial Area: South Greenwood Avenue near South O Street • Call Location: South O Street and South 23rd Street • City: Fort Smith, Arkansas • County: Sebastian County • Vehicle: 2016 Kawasaki EX300 • Vehicle Type: Motorcycle • Vehicle Color: Red • Primary Trooper: TRP Tucker Phelps #353 • Agency: Arkansas State Police, Troop H • Initial Radar Speed: Approximately 35 MPH • Posted Speed Limit: 30 MPH • Trooper Catch-Up Speed: Approximately 55 MPH • Pursuit Speed: Approximately 80 MPH • Driver's License Status: Suspended • Registration: Expired • Insurance: None on file • Incident Type: Vehicle Pursuit ⚡ PURSUIT HIGHLIGHTS • Trooper Phelps observes red Kawasaki motorcycle • Motorcycle travels westbound on South O Street • Rider turns south onto South 23rd Street • Radar initially shows approximately 35 MPH • Motorcycle begins accelerating • Trooper reaches approximately 55 MPH catching up • Emergency lights and siren activated • Rider allegedly refuses to stop • Motorcycle accelerates away • Pursuit reaches approximately 80 MPH • Chase continues through residential streets • Traffic reported as little to none • Motorcycle turns onto Boston Street • Rider allegedly runs a stop sign • Motorcycle suddenly leaves the pavement • Chase continues off-road toward Jenny Lind Road • Motorcycle travels behind a local business • Rider returns to Boston Street • Motorcycle leaves the roadway again • Terrain becomes increasingly difficult Pages 6 through 10 of the report document the red Kawasaki after the pursuit.
