[Music] Where chaos meets the cruiser. Welcome to the real front line. In Florida, troopers hit triple digits chasing a drug suspect in a Toyota 4Erunner. In Arkansas, a veteran officer lands a flawless TVI on a narcotics filled vehicle. And in Wisconsin, a Kia Sportage with flames under its chassis speeds away from a stop. This high-speed police chase is fast. Welcome to my guide. [Music] Charlotte County, Florida, September 5th, 2024. And Toyota 4Runner with dark tinted windows, reckless lane changes, and a need for speed caught the eye of Trooper Rivera on I75. But when the lights went on, the drivers instincts kicked in, and they chose flight over compliance.

We got traffic. To him, the emergency lane might as well have been just another stretch of racetrack. Roll over. Roll over. >> Oh man, take a good look at that pit. Pure power.

[Music] Palaski County, Arkansas. 10:22 p.m. July 23rd, 2024. What started as simple backup turned into a 130 mph pursuit through an active construction zone. The white BMW had no lights on, no intention of slowing down, and even less of stopping. On I30, the suspect hit speeds over 140 mph, darting between vehicles through an active construction zone like a ticking time bomb on wheels. Judging by that intentional brake tap, this suspect clearly knows a thing or two about dodging police TV eyes. He's not new to the game. But when it comes to experience, this suspect is still green compared to the officers chasing him. Escaping once doesn't mean he'll get lucky twice. >> Stand up. >> Tyrie Allen was arrested on felony fleeing, drug possession, and reckless driving. He had no license, but plenty of bad decisions.
