January 27th, 2023 started as a routine traffic stop in a quiet parking lot until urgent radio chatter cut through the calm about a fleeing vehicle tied to a burglary. Within moments, Trooper First Class Nathan Williams and Sergeant Alan Johnson repositioned themselves to intercept a driver who had no intention of stopping. >> [screaming] >> Get on the Get ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. I GIVE UP, SIR. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I GIVE UP. I'M SO SORRY. Got him? Yeah. I'm so sorry, y'all. I'm sorry, y'all. Well, you don't stop now, Aaron. I know, man. I know it, man. I apologize. I'm sorry, y'all. I messed up, y'all. I'm sorry, man. I should have turned around. In the aftermath, Donavan Shackelford was taken into custody after a brief foot escape attempt, while passenger Aaron Watts was detained and later released without charges. Shackelford faced multiple charges, including unauthorized use of property, commercial burglary, and possession of a controlled substance, turning a late-night drive into a long list of accusations. A missing license plate on January 17th, 2023, quickly escalated into something far more dangerous when a blue pickup surged past at extreme speed. The situation soon spilled into the streets around Arkansas Tech University, where the driver pushed the limits of control. GET OUT. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND. GET DOWN. FACE DOWN. GET DOWN. THE DRIVER, IDENTIFIED as Mr. Holland, was eventually arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, felony fleeing, and possession of a controlled substance. Additional charges, such as reckless driving and driving on a suspended license, ensured the consequences extended well beyond the roads he tore through. [music] On January 24th, 2023, a gray Nissan Rogue fleeing across county lines drew the attention of multiple agencies as it sped deeper into rural Arkansas. By the time officers closed in near Gould, the driver had already committed to running at triple-digit speeds. Hey. Stay right there. Stay right there. STAY RIGHT THERE. The driver ultimately surrendered without further resistance and was taken into custody by the Arkansas County Sheriff's Office, with the vehicle later recovered from a flooded field. While specific charges were not listed, the case moved forward with custody and investigation. March 23rd, 2023 brought a traffic stop that quickly unraveled when the driver's identity did not match the information he provided. The situation escalated the moment officers realized the man behind the wheel was Ezekiel Duran, a deported felon. There you go. Hey. Do you mind coming back here? No, no, no, no, no, no. You come back here. You You come back here. There you go. Now, it's okay. Um So, I wasn't able to find anything on the on on William Perez. Uh so, I I got I got a fingerprint scanner. Where are you going to? I go to Dallas. All right. I got you out of the car. I'm going to pat you down. No weapons on you, right? No. No weapons on you? No, no. Okay. I'm going to pat you down real quick. All right. Just hang out right here. I'll be right back. All right. Still no weapons, right? Let me pat you down. There you go. You are under arrest. Huh? What? You You're under arrest. What? What? You're under arrest. >> Why? Cuz you gave me the wrong name. No. Put your hands behind your back right now. Put your hands behind your back. Running. He's running north in the woods. Duran managed to escape into nearby woods and was not located that night, prompting warrants for charges including resisting arrest, fleeing on foot, and obstructing governmental operations. Meanwhile, passenger Daisy Fajardo was arrested for hindering apprehension before later being released on bond. On July 18th, 2024, a driver's claim about rushing a child to the doctor initially sounded urgent, but quickly raised doubts when basic documents were missing. Seconds later, that explanation disappeared entirely as the vehicle sped away from the stop. Now, you got to give me your speed and track. He got 416 in a 10-11 vehicle rolled in the median. 430 south, just south of central exit and on ramp. Okay. Subject un-ejected. He's ejected. He's ejected. I don't think there's anybody else in the car. I got her over here. Vehicle 3 on the 9. Uh there wasn't NOBODY IN IT. THE DRIVER, LATER identified as Diviana Bullock, was transported for medical care and remained under supervision as authorities prepared charges. Those charges included felony fleeing, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license once she is released. A routine motorcycle stop on March 4th, 2023 seemed straightforward until the rider made a sudden decision to bolt instead of cooperate. What followed turned a simple roadside interaction into a much larger situation across multiple jurisdictions. Hold on, man. Just come back here for a second. Yeah, 21 4 10-37. 10-4. What's your speed? No license, no insurance. Motorcycle in the road. Wow. He's headed north. Turning right onto 79 headed north. He's driving in the opposing lane. He's on a motorcycle. 10-4. Word, speed's are at 40. He's headed his direction. Still south. 89 north down where Marshall 88. Speed's are at 50. 10-4. >> 21 just north of County Line Road, 80. 21 look like Kia Optima. What is the vehicle description? I'm not so sure if it's him. He's got some piercing stuff. I'm not totally positive. Curtis Hicks was later apprehended by county deputies after the pursuit had been terminated for safety reasons and was taken back into custody by state authorities. He faced charges including felony fleeing, reckless driving, and operating without a proper motorcycle license. On January 26th, 2023, a speeding Kia SUV stood out not just for its speed, but for the driver's repeated attempts to avoid being stopped. Each move suggested someone determined to stay ahead no matter the risk. Vehicle 125. Vehicle 125, I'm going to go after the 85. He's wherever he's trying to go. He's speeding. Y'all take the eggs. Did he take the eggs? I need you to verify I'm going to take the eggs after everyone got right. Verify you took the eggs from him. I'm going to verify where he is. Copy. YOU HEAR ANYTHING NOW? HANDS UP! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! LET'S SEE YOUR HANDS! LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS! YOU BETTER PUT YOUR HANDS UP! HANDS! HANDS! YOU SEE ANY MOVEMENT? NO, the wipers are on. Can you verify what I was saying? He grabbed it from me. He's No, he's the only one. Oh, oh, over here. Yeah, not over there. He'll they'll be running permanently. Sit down. That was stupid. After the vehicle left the roadway and ended up in the woods, the driver was taken into custody with assistance from a police canine unit. While specific charges were not detailed, the arrest marked the end of a dangerously evasive drive. September 7th, 2022, began with a car cutting through traffic on the shoulder of a congested interstate raising immediate concerns. The situation took a sharp turn when the passenger became increasingly uneasy during a search. There's a possibility that my brother's gun might be in this car, just so you know. And if it is, it's in the trunk. I just wanted you guys to know. Okay. Stay up here on the corner for me. And my sister might have something in there as well. HEY! HEY! STOP! PUT HIM IN CUSTODY. FEMALE JUMPED IN THE CAR ON ME AND TOOK OFF. We're uh almost to the bridge. Car 60, she stopped in traffic. She made a right. She did. She went down Car 60. Verify 10-16. OH MY GOSH, MAMA.

She treat me like I'm a king, mama. Brittany Johns was transported for medical treatment following the crash while driver Eric Winford was taken into custody and charged with offenses including possession of a firearm by a felon. Authorities also confirmed Johns had an active warrant out of Illinois adding further complications to the case. On December 3rd, 2023, a blue Dodge Challenger caught attention for moving at an extreme rate of speed that left little room for error. As the vehicle pushed toward 160 mph, control became increasingly uncertain. 381 381 381 381 I've notified everyone. It really is. I just put it on 65 and that's what 28 >> [screaming] >> The driver was later located after being thrown from the vehicle and received medical attention while officers secured the scene. Evidence found nearby pointed toward additional charges likely involving controlled substances and fleeing. A slight drift over the roadway line on February 17th, 2023 was all it took to bring attention to a recreational vehicle traveling along Interstate 40. What seemed minor at first quickly turned into something far more significant during the stop. How y'all doing today? I'm doing good. My name is Trooper Blackaby with the Arkansas State Police. The reason I pulled you guys over, man, y'all not used to driving this thing or what? Yeah, but he's driving like on top of the white line over here. You can't do that.

I just can't figure out where it's coming from, Trent. This is weird that this is right here. I think it's in here, too. This is screwed down. That's what I thought. Exactly.

So you can see how that 2 by 4 That's all Steven Huffman and Matt Panganiban were taken into custody after officers discovered approximately 91 lb of marijuana hidden in a concealed compartment. Both men were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. On February 4th, 2023, a speeding pickup became far more concerning when the driver discarded a firearm during the encounter. That single action immediately escalated the situation beyond a simple traffic stop. Hey, just pull over. We can get this figured out. Just pull over before you make it any worse. Pull over.
