Watch the rock 440 east the airport exit ground. The Jetta reached 99 mph and Petty even turned off his lights while trying to get away. After taking an exit, he threw an object from the driver's window. Something officers would soon discover changed the seriousness of the situation. Pedigrew finally slowed on Lindsay Road as the trooper approached. A moment of uncertainty over whether he would flee again resulted in the patrol car striking the rear of the Jetta. Officers later recovered a handgun from the area where the object had been thrown. >> Hey, keep your hands out. >> The [ __ ] you running for? >> I'm sorry, officer. I was scared. I'm sorry.

Yep. >> Petty Grew was taken into custody. A search of the vehicle also uncovered a digital scale with residue while the handgun was secured as evidence. What began as speeding had quickly turned into a much more serious night for the driver. On January 8th, 2025 in Douglas County, Missouri, USA, deputies were alerted to a reported stolen white Volvo. When an officer spotted it near Cowskin Bridge and attempted a stop, driver Janissa Wilson immediately sped away. Still driving westbound past 534. Speed 90 mph. Wind 534 miles.

I'm about to pee my pants behind. >> Piss all over yourself for all I care. >> I have to go home and say goodbye to my kids. >> Yeah. Wilson was taken into custody and later faced 18 felony counts, including aggravated fleeing and other serious charges. A pursuit spanning two counties had finally ended. A reminder of how one attempt to escape can multiply the consequences. On October 19th, 2024 in Dell, Arkansas, USA, trooper Tanner Seal clocked a motorcycle traveling 80 mph in a 60 mph zone on US Highway 78. When he activated his lights, rider Michael Ees chose to accelerate instead of stopping. 30 seconds. [music] I think he's just slowing down, swerving left to right.

He later faced multiple charges, including felony fleeing and reckless driving. A speeding violation had turned into a far more serious situation, all because of one decision not to stop. During an active patrol in Arkansas, USA, troopers were alerted to a fleeing vehicle and quickly coordinated an interception. One trooper raced ahead to prepare spike strips before the pursuit reached his position. If you can catch me, you can have the lead because they're doing all they can do right now. Just now coming in. Yeah, >> I'm right here. You see my string? Someday they're probably trying to spike. >> When the vehicle finally appeared, the spike strips were deployed, but unexpectedly both the fleeing vehicle and a pursuing police unit ran over them. Even so, the chase continued and officers refused to let the situation spiral further. Anybody got a good spot 64 dispatch? Heat. Heat. 65. Don't let your car go. After catching up again, a trooper used a pit maneuver to stop the vehicle. The driver still resisted and attempted to escape on foot, forcing officers to use a taser before finally gaining control. >> The suspect was taken into custody, ending a pursuit filled with unexpected turn. From spike strips to the PIT maneuver, persistence and coordination brought the chaos to an end. Another reminder that fleeing only makes the consequences harder to escape. Crashed in crashed into crash. Let's get fire rolling this way. At 9:14 p.m. on the evening of the incident in Marquette, Michigan, USA, police responded to reports of gunfire that had left one person with multiple injuries.

Vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed, refusing to stop. Black SUV. Oh, looks like you got the address for the plane. >> Clear 2126 521 clear. >> Troopers located the SUV on US 41 and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, the driver accelerated to more than 90 mph, crossed into oncoming lanes, and continued fleeing. In moments like these, every passing second increases the risk for everyone nearby. >> Advising operations 2127. >> Vehicle is passing Haley. Passing Haley. Correction, Kelly. 91 91. >> The pursuit ended when the SUV sped into a gas station and crashed into diesel fuel pumps, causing flames to erupt almost instantly. Officers repeatedly ordered, "Get on the ground. Roll away from the vehicle." Trevor followed the commands, allowing officers to move him to safety before providing first aid. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. CRAWL AWAY FROM [screaming] THE FIRE. CRAWL AWAY FROM THE FIRE. >> CRAWL. ROLL. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE VEHICLE? >> AND GET ON YOUR FACE. GET ON THE GROUND. ROLL TOWARDS MY PARTNER. ROLL. >> ROLL TOWARDS ME. >> ON THE GROUND. On the ground. Down. Face down. Officers secured the scene, shut down the fuel pumps, and handed Trevor over to EMS after he began showing signs of shock. The incident demonstrated how quickly a pursuit can escalate and how decisive actions by first responders can prevent an already dangerous situation from becoming even worse. >> On the ground now. Let's go. On June 4th, 2026, at approximately 1:32 p.m. in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, an officer spotted an older model white Dodge pickup displaying a license plate linked to a recently stolen vehicle. As soon as the patrol car pulled in behind it, the driver appeared startled and quickly accelerated away. >> [music] >> The pursuit stretched across Little Rock as the pickup raced through city streets at speeds exceeding 90 mph, ignored traffic lights and stop signs, entered oncoming lanes, and even lost belongings from its truck bed.

Yeah, we are calling your parents. Get off the table. You're being detained now FOR COOPERATION FOR WHAT? >> FOR cooperation of investigation. Get >> off of me. >> According to police, the teenager refused to cooperate and repeatedly resisted their instructions. As officers tried to place her inside a patrol car, the encounter became increasingly tense. What began as a traffic investigation was quickly turning into something far more complicated. >> Then turn then turn around. Put your hands behind your back. You're being detained. >> YOU'RE BEING DETAINED RIGHT NOW. [screaming] >> GET THAT HARD ASS [ __ ] OFF. STOP. Y'ALL GET THAT [ __ ] OFF OF ME.

The body cam footage later sparked debate over whether that level of force was appropriate for a 15year-old. In situations like this, a few ten seconds can leave difficult questions long after the scene is over. >> Put your feet in. You put your feet in. >> There you go. >> The teenager later faced several charges including disorderly conduct, secondderee assault, marijuana possession, and failure to obey a traffic device. Her family's attorney criticized the officer's response and said she later experienced soreness and muscle injury.

Sometimes one poor decision only leads to another. Have a seat. >> The first taser deployment was unsuccessful, but after Hall stumbled and tried to continue running, a second deployment safely brought the situation under control. Officers recovered the discarded pipe, found an open bottle of liquor inside the pickup, and later conducted a drug recognition expert evaluation.

He was booked on multiple charges including fleeing by vehicle, fleeing on foot, tampering with physical evidence, possession of drug paraphernalia, reckless driving, driving without a license, driving left of center, carrying an open container of alcohol, and failing to wear a seat belt.

Officers ordered, "Show me your hands. drop it. Moments later, he slid a handgun beneath a parked vehicle and surrendered without further resistance.

After being medically evaluated, Sfunout was transported to the Sebastian County Detention Center. He was booked on multiple charges, including felony fleeing by vehicle, fleeing on foot, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The Challenger accelerated to around 160 mph, weaving through traffic and even using the shoulder to pass other vehicles. Troopers struggled to close the distance as the driver continued toward Interstate 430. At those speeds, there was almost no room for error.

Once traffic ahead cleared, trooper Lucas performed a tactical vehicle intervention.

Instead of pulling over the Camry accelerated from about 65 mph to nearly 120 mph. The driver weaved through traffic, narrowly avoiding several vehicles while even smiling and waving at the pursuing trooper. What may have seemed like a game to the driver placed countless motorists in danger. Another meat.
