On September 25th, 2022, just after midnight, a Georgia trooper sat quietly on Pennsylvania Avenue radar at the ready. The streets were still the kind of silence only late night hours can bring. But that silence shattered when a gold Chevrolet Malibu came flying through at speeds well above the limit. The driver behind the wheel wasn't slowing down, and this was only the beginning of a very long night. [Music] All right. [Music] Stay down. [Music] Holy [ __ ] [Music] The driver was later identified as 27-year-old Rashiml Howard. Troopers discovered he was a convicted felon slurring his speech, wreaking of alcohol, and yet denying he'd been drinking. Inside the wreckage, they also found a firearm he was not supposed to have. Howard was booked into jail, and this chase became another stark reminder that bad choices at high speeds almost always end one way, hard, fast, and costly. Most traffic stops end with a ticket and a warning. But on the night of February 3rd, 2025, one did not. Trooper Dylan Evans had just pulled over a Dodge Charger that was moving faster than the rest of traffic. At first, the driver, Brandon Williams, played along, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Yet beneath that calm exterior lingered a plan that would turn a quiet roadside chat into chaos across the interstate. [Music] We're at 140 passing 283. [Music] TBR TV. The wild run didn't earn Brandon Williams the escape he was banking on. Instead, it left him facing charges ranging from reckless driving to possession with intent to deliver along with the discovery of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. In the end, the only thing faster than his charger was the speed at which his luck ran out. On February 16th, 2025, trooper Dylan Evans spotted what should have been a routine traffic violation on Interstate 40. A silver Honda Accord was moving just a little too fast, pushing 86 mph in a 65 zone. It looked like a simple stop was coming, but instead of tapping the brakes, the driver made a choice that would crank this night into overdrive. Within seconds, a calm Sunday evening was about to become a highstakes chase. City [Music] TV. The man behind the wheel turned out to be Michael Tate limping in traffic before being cuffed and sent off for treatment. Inside the car, a handgun sat in plain reach and the vehicle itself was a mess of fake paperwork and no insurance. Tate's list of charges stretched a mile long speeding fleeing possession of a firearm by a certain person and more. For him, that night ended not in freedom, but in a hospital bed in a jail cell. The kind of destination every runner eventually finds. It was the afternoon after Christmas, December 27th, 2021, and the interstate was just starting to settle into its winter lull. But in Bib County, one Ford Ranger was breaking that calm at 90 mph. The driver eased up for a moment, but never actually gave in. Instead, it became clear this was going to be one of those moments where a bad decision snowballs into something far worse. [Music] Watch seven outside. [Music] 17 outside [Music] 17. By the time it was over, the Ford Ranger was on its side. Its driver still belted in and looking dazed. Joseph Silus confessed he had been drinking, his voice tinged with worry about his job. Emergency crews cut him free and he left the scene in custody. His blood test pending his truck destroyed and his driving record permanently marked. In the end, the road decided the outcome long before the paperwork did. For trooper Terrell Pratt, June 27th, 2023 was supposed to be like any other day behind the wheel of his patrol unit. But the moment he locked onto a silver sedan barreling down the roadway, he knew his shift had just changed course. What the driver thought would be a quick way out of trouble was about to become a high-speed mistake etched into asphalt. [Music] 43°. Slow down. The driver's reckless gamble ended with him on the ground, taken into custody as troopers reminded him just how close he came to costing lives. He now faces charges of fleeing reckless driving and endangering the public. No dramatic escape, no heroics, just a trail of broken metal and bad decisions. It was another harsh lesson in how running from the Arkansas State Police only leads to one destination disaster. July 10th, 2025 began with one man making a series of choices that would spiral into chaos. Behind the wheel of a Chevy Blazer, Dustin Kirkindall was already wanted for more than just bad driving. By the time Arkansas State Police joined the chase, he had turned Interstate 40 into a high-speed stage where every second brought more danger. Nobody knew how far he was willing to push it. [Music] >> 66 237 TV. Get my helicopter. [Applause] [Music] [Music] When it finally ended, the driver was identified as 37year-old Dustin Kirkindall. Officers discovered open containers and narcotics tied to his wild run, confirming he was under the influence. The chaos left two officers contaminated with his blood, forcing an unexpected hospital visit. One night, two PIT maneuvers and one suspect whose arrogance turned Interstate 40 into his personal circus. June the 1st, 2025 had just tipped past midnight when Corporal Benabara spotted a gray Honda Accord slicing through the darkness on Interstate 530. 90 and a 75 might not sound like much to the thrillsekers, but for a trooper sitting in the shadows, it was enough to spark attention. When the stop was made, the driver's evasive answers and refusal to show ID felt less like stubbornness and more like someone trying to keep a lid on a secret. And when the air got heavy with that kind of tension, it was only a matter of time before it all snapped. [Music] TBI TV Scott Hamilton. [Music] go. >> When it was over, the driver, Lamente Thompson, and passenger Sharon Brian were under arrest. Between them sat a loaded 9mm pistol with an extended magazine, a silent witness to the choices made that night. Brian left with only minor injuries, but Thompson's list of charges was anything but minor reckless driving with injury fleeing by vehicle possession of a firearm by certain persons and more. Whatever he thought he might outrun, the only thing waiting at the end was a jail cell. On May 2nd, 2023, the Arkansas State Police were about to cross paths with a man who had no intention of stopping. Behind the wheel of a red Nissan Rogue was TGO Caldero, a previously deported felon with a felony immigration warrant hanging over his head and a homicide investigation out of Tennessee. For Calro, every mile was a gamble, and every glance in the rearview mirror was a reminder of the law that was closing in. Hazen police already had eyes on him, and the question wasn't if he'd make a bad decision, it was how far he'd go when the blue lights lit up. Ah, come on now. Let me get it. Too much traffic. Okay, cut them right there. We have traffic. We're going to be [Music] a 67 [Music] right now. 40 west still about medium. We're about one dead right now. We got We got We got Roll over. Roll over. Roll over. Stand by. >> Hands. Hands. Driver. Hands. >> When the dust settled, Caldero's run was over and so were any hopes of slipping away unnoticed. He was taken into custody and booked into the Prairie County Jail on charges of aggravated assault felony fleeing and driving while intoxicated on drugs. ICE also lodged a detainer for his deported felon status and outstanding warrant. Some drivers make bad choices. Caldero made one that guaranteed his day would end in handcuffs. December 4th, 2024 started as just another patrol shift on Mon Road. A Georgia state trooper spotted a silver Toyota Camry weaving in its lane its insurance status just as shaky as the way it was being driven. When the lights and sirens came on, the driver actually pulled over. At least that is what it looked like. But in the blink of an eye, what should have been a simple traffic stop took a sharp turn into something far more dangerous? [Music] Want that? Traffic marker 14 marker 14. The driver, later identified as 18-year-old Kamari Gamble, would not survive the aftermath of that final move. EMS rushed him to the hospital, but his injuries proved fatal for a teenager who thought running was the best way out. The chase ended as a tragic reminder that fleeing from the law almost always writes its own ending, and it is never a good one. The night of October 14th, 2023 started with flashing radar and a Dodge Charger tearing across Interstate 40 like it owned the road. At speeds topping 120 mph, the car wasn't just fast, it was defiant. Each lane change grew bolder, each swerve riskier, and every motorist nearby suddenly found themselves unwilling extras in a stunt they never signed up for. But on highways like this, every stunt has a breaking point. [Music] [Music] Governor, we'll be on your ass. >> I don't work for Tennessee. >> Guess what? Tennessee governor, we'll be on your ass. I swear to God. >> You're going to get over here. Lay down. >> Okay. Get over here and lay down. Get over here. Lay down, man. Thank you. Lay down. >> Thank you for being a man. >> Lay down. >> Thank you for being a man. >> Lay down. >> I'm going to lay down. >> Stop resisting. >> The driver later identified as DeAndre Brown fought commands struck at a trooper's arm and ended up tasting vaults from a taser before finally going down. Brown was charged with driving while intoxicated fleeing in a vehicle and assault with plenty more stacked on top of that. His passenger, Tamara Brandon, also walked away with her own set of charges. In the end, all the bravado in the world could not outrun flashing lights and a trooper who refused to back down. June 8th, 2025 started like any other day in Dayton, Ohio. But one driver was about to make sure it didn't end that way. Near Steve Whan Boulevard, a vehicle caught the eyes of officers for all the wrong reasons. The erratic swerves, the disregard for lanes, the way it clawed for speed, it was enough to set every alarm bell ringing. When they realized it matched the description of a car tied to an earlier theft alert, the calm was over. A routine patrol had just turned into a race against a driver willing to gamble with everyone's safety. We're going to cancel at Main Street, Jefferson Street, exit. [Music] We're going to take on reinforcement. Main Street. [Music] In the end, both men inside that car would see the inside of a jail cell. The driver facing felony charges the passenger booked for warrants that had been waiting for him. What could have been a quiet Sunday in Dayton turned into a test of how far someone will go to avoid a pair of handcuffs. Spoiler alert, not far enough. Blue lights danced in the night sky over Arkansas on March 20th, 2025, chasing down a driver who refused to yield. The man at the center of it all was 54year-old Joe Versie. Pushing his luck from Point Set County intoRittenden County with a trail of squad cars behind him. What began as reckless driving had escalated into a full speed test of patience and skill. Each mile narrowed the gap and each passing second brought more officers into the fold. The road ahead would decide just how this story ended, and it wouldn't be pretty. to try out. >> Through the crackle of radios and shouts across the median, the suspect's words cut through the chaos. He had a weapon. Every officer with an earshot knew the stakes had just shifted and the tension in the air was thick enough to stop anyone cold. >> Get out and get please. Please, please. >> When Versie reached toward the weapon he'd threatened to use, officers made the call no one wants to face. The shots fired ended both the standoff and the danger with the suspect declared dead at the scene. Prosecutors later ruled the response was within the law. A decision that underscored just how high the stakes had been in those final moments. March 7th, 2024 started as a routine collaboration between the Georgia State Patrol Crime Suppression Unit and Atlanta Police. They were on the lookout for a white Ford Fusion tied to a recent vehicle theft with ground units and the Phoenix helicopter scanning the city. When the car was spotted in a West Atlanta parking lot, things seemed calm enough until the driver decided compliance was off the table. The moment the emergency lights flicked on, the peaceful afternoon turned into a high stakes gamble on city streets. Honey, >> right on the mer. Right on the mer. Right on. >> Coming up to 20 going. >> Clear 2020. Please [Music] Another [Music] >> the driver was later identified as Jan Jackson and his run from the law didn't stop when the car did he bolted on foot making a break through brush fences and train tracks. Even K9 Loco got a piece of the action before Jackson was finally cornered and taken into custody. He was charged with reckless driving, felony fleeing obstruction, and driving on a suspended license on top of existing warrants. Sometimes the fastest way to lose everything is to think you can outrun everyone. July 10th, 2025 started like any other late morning on SR 408 until a flash of gray caught a trooper's eye. That Mercedes GLC was not just moving fast, it was eating up pavement at a rate that made every other car on the road look like it was parked. Behind the wheel, sat a driver who clearly had no intention of slowing down for anyone. trooper moved in to make the stop, but what came next turned a routine traffic stop into a full throttle showdown. Hold on. Stop at 9. going. [Music] >> All right, get ready for it if you can. >> Hold on, Mario. Hold on. >> Stop. >> The driver identified as 33-year-old Darius Demetrius Lowe made one last attempt to escape on foot, but that sprint ended in handcuffs. Low, already on inmate release for a previous fleeing case, was found with 27 fentinel pills, nearly $4,000 in cash and marijuana inside the Mercedes. His bid for freedom not only failed, it stacked up a fresh list of charges that will keep him off the road for a long while. Some drivers run thinking they can win low. Just learned the hard way that the odds are never in their favor. It was a normal day in Eco, Arkansas, the kind where most people are thinking about lunch plans, not high-speed pursuits. Corporal Todd Williams was simply doing his job, initiating a traffic stop on a vehicle that gave him reason to pause. The man behind the wheel, later confirmed to be Carlos Smith from Lamar, had other ideas. Instead of pulling over, he punched the gas and left that quiet roadside in a cloud of urgency. >> They had the radio down. [Music] are successful. Flight is successful. [Music] There he is. [Applause] Smith's run came to a halt on Oklahoma Street, ending a dangerous chapter that could have gone much worse. Several law enforcement vehicles and a city truck took damage in the chaos. But no one was injured, a rare stroke of luck in a chase like this. With new charges stacked on top of his already long list of warrants, Smith's next ride won't be on open roads. It'll be in the back of a patrol car. That might have been the end of the road for this suspect, but there's another story just waiting to be told.
