On April 6th, 2024, Georgia state troopers received a bolo for a black Nissan Alultima linked to a felony shoplifting case out of Locust Grove. The vehicle was speeding northbound on I75, and Trooper Williams was waiting, ready to intercept. What started as a routine lookout would soon turn into a highstakes pursuit across county lines. going to be on the right shoulder. On the right shoulder, it's going to be still on the right lane going back over to the right shoulder. right line on the right shoulder. [Music] Headed up towards the 228.

The suspect was all over the road, literally weaving through lanes, putting countless drivers at risk. Traffic was heavy and every car in the way made a pit nearly impossible. Still, the trooper stayed on him, trying to shut it down every time he saw an opening. But near misses weren't enough. This driver wasn't going down that easy. Getting [Music] off at the 237. Excuse me. Continuing on the 237. They taking the He's [Music] just forced to park off the shoulder. Still going towards 285 going west. 285 285 pit pit pit pit pit pit pit pit pit. Start 52. The pit maneuver was perfectly executed, sending the Alima into the concrete wall, then slamming backward into another. The car spun to a final rest, nose toward traffic. With dark tint obscuring the interior, the trooper drew his weapon and called out commands. The passenger exited with hands raised, but the driver, injured, refused to move. Officers moved in, securing both suspects. The driver, Haley Christine Bot, was transported for medical treatment while her passenger, Crystal Lashell King, was handed over to Locust Grove Police for outstanding charges. The VIN revealed the truth, registered to bot, who now faces a stack of criminal charges. What began as a felony shoplifting case ended with a violent crash, a false tag, and two Tennessee suspects in cuffs. On July 14th, 2025, local police were in pursuit of a suspect who had fled after skipping out on a bill at a Waffle House. That's when state trooper Katon Rey jumped in, quickly taking over as the primary unit in the chase. What started as a dine and dash was about to turn into something much more serious. [Music] [Music] I'm catching net direct. Net direct pursuit. This might be the shortest pursuit we've ever featured on the channel, but the outcome was crystal clear. The suspect, identified as Louis Black, was arrested and taken into custody without further incident. He was charged with fleeing, resisting arrest, obstruction, and an active warrant already waiting for him. It was just after 7:00 a.m. on July 3rd, 2025, when a routine traffic stop quickly turned into a full-blown pursuit. After disobeying a stop sign, 28-year-old Derek Baker acted like he was going to pull over, but instead he ran a red light and took off. That's when the chase began. I got one taken off from me that 33rd Pike headed to the 40 east on ramp. It's going to be George Adam Robert on a white board. [Music] Speed 62 heading northbound on Percy M. We're taking the 40 east on ramp east at 80. Medium traffic 84. He's weaving in and out of traffic. Medium traffic. [Music] Baker weaved recklessly through traffic at speeds exceeding 100 mph, heading down Interstate 40, then merging onto Interstate 30 westbound, he pushed his Ford Fusion through medium traffic, darting between vehicles as he tried to escape. Despite the danger, officers stayed close behind and called in Arkansas State Police for backup. Westbound 30, speed 75 east of traffic still traffic. Just like the 630 exit speeds 89 medium drive. [Music] Taking exit 1B speeds 50 medium driving. Clear left right. Clear left right. We're over here at Broadway and 6:30 still. Uh, >> the number of lives put at risk during this chase was absolutely insane. To bring this chaos under control, Arkansas State Police were called in. And it didn't take long for one trooper to take over as the primary unit, ready to shut it down. [Music] [Music] 38 55. Five. All right. [Music] We're going down. After multiple failed pit attempts, the trooper knew just how close he was. Too close to let this one slip away. Each failure only fueled his drive, pushing him harder to bring this suspect to justice. Shut [Music] [Applause] it off. Shut it off. Turn the Derek Baker was taken into custody without further incident. His license was suspended, the vehicle was uninsured, and the pursuit put countless lives at risk. But thanks to the coordination between local officers and state troopers, no one was injured, and another dangerous driver was taken off the streets. Christmas Eve turned deadly on Interstate 40. A simple traffic stop spiraled into a high-speed chase, ending with one suspect dead, a wrecked SUV, and a shocking stash of weapons and drugs. This is the final ride of a man who chose to run from Arkansas State Police and paid the ultimate price. It began at 8:30 p.m. on December 24th, 2024. A Honda Pilot was clocked doing 98 mph. The trooper initiated a stop near the 66 milei marker, but instead of cooperation, the driver gave a fake name and false date of birth, trying to hide outstanding warrants for fleeing, false ID, and drug charges in Virginia. >> Hello, Trooper Pokei, State Police. I had you at 98 mph at one point. I had you at 98. >> Yeah, you were. Yep. 100%. >> I got to pee so bad. >> Okay. I need >> I'm trying to find an exit. The truck. He came. He's swerving in the damn lane. That big truck, son. >> Actually, I saw you swerving and speeding. >> I >> Yeah, if you don't think you're 198, then we got a big problem there cuz you weren't paying attention. So, >> no. Do you have your driver's license? >> Oh, actually, I have a traveler's ID, but please >> I'll work with you. I just need to see your license, registration, insurance card. >> Yeah, I don't I I don't have I have a traveler's ID. >> Can I see your driver's ID? >> I don't have it with you. >> Yeah. The license plate on the car or does it go to this? Okay. All right. I'll be right back with you. Okay. Just hang tight for me. All right. Hey, what's up? >> Not much. You needing something? I I'm not too close, but I heard you hollering on the radio. >> Yeah, I got a guy that said he's a sovereign citizen, and he was he's traveling, not driving, so I think I might have some issues with him. I'm not sure yet, but um I was just going to see if somebody could at least ease their way towards me. I don't have to drive fast or anything. >> As the trooper spoke with the driver, something felt off. His instincts were sharp, and so was the tension. He quietly radioed for backup, asking another trooper to be ready. Moments later, those suspicions turned real and fast. >> J26, I'm at the 84. Still coming to you. >> 1037. [Music] 26 26 22 going in for the TBI speeds 88 light traffic coming up on moderate traffic. She's all over the road. [Music] Troopers pursued westbound down Interstate 40, racing through Arkansas in a tense and dangerous chase. The road conditions were far from ideal, and as the suspect pushed his speed even higher, the lead trooper knew it was time to act. 62 107 traffic. [Music] [Music] [Music] TVI, TVI, TVI, TVI. 1016, roll over. Roll over. The trooper performed a TVI, sending the Honda into the woods where it slammed into trees and disintegrated on impact. The driver, unbelted, was pronounced dead at the scene. Debris from the engine was scattered in the brush, and troopers recovered five cell phones, a walkie-talkie, a taser, nearly 5 ounces of cocaine, and a revolver with one spent round still warm. On February 26th, 2023, a bright orange Dodge Challenger was tearing up an I75, recklessly weaving through traffic at high speed. Henry County police were in hot pursuit, but it wouldn't be long before Trooper Williams stepped in to assist and took over a pursuit as a primary unit. [Music] Five and two. [Music] Oh, we had to do that one. I got nothing tomorrow. Staging ahead of the chase near mile marker 228, Trooper Williams joined in just as the Challenger flew past him on the shoulder. Taking over as primary, the trooper watched as the driver darted left to right, aggressively pushing through traffic light. [Music] [Music] 35 to 35. The suspect was squeezing through every tiny gap, trying to gain distance, but heavy traffic quickly turned against him, forcing him to slow down and giving the trooper a chance to close in. [Music] 207 [Music] pet. [Music] The driver bolted on foot across the interstate, but his run didn't last long. He was caught moments later by Clayton County deputies and taken into custody without further incident. The suspect, 23-year-old Nathan James Rogers, was now facing the full weight of the law, and the chase was over just as fast as it began. He blew past at nearly 100 mph, then made a choice that put dozens of lives at risk. In a split second, he veered into the wrong side of the interstate, driving head-on into traffic at over 115 mph. What started as a routine traffic stop would become a deadly game of cat-and- mouse, and it was up to one Arkansas State Trooper to end it before anyone got injured. Roll the windows down. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. A police chase going the wrong way on the interstate is a ticking time bomb. It can't be allowed to continue. Someone will get hurt. But this trooper had a gut feeling he could end it. So he stayed on him, ready to strike when the moment came. [Music] The suspect veered to block him, but the trooper quickly switched to the driver's side and executed a successful tactical vehicle intervention. The SUV careened into the ditch and disappeared into the trees, but when troopers approached, the driver was gone. An hour later, Calvin Hathaway was found a mile away and taken into custody. A search of the crash site revealed bags of MDMA, marijuana, and a Glock style BB gun. Haway now faces multiple felonies, including fleeing, reckless driving, and possession with intent to deliver. It was 10:52 a.m. on March 10th when radio traffic lit up. An outofc control Chevy Malibu was clocked at 105 mph heading northbound on I5 and 40. With no time to waste, troopers raced to intercept before someone got seriously hurt. [Music] [Music] We're not slowing down. 10:37 TV off heavy. [Music] to go. >> Hey, hands. Hands. Hands. Give me your hands. Open the door. Open the door. >> Right before the fire. Step out. Step out. Step out. A felony stop followed and the suspect identified as Jennifer Hampton Higgins was taken into custody without further incident. She claimed she was rushing to a dying patient, but the real reason for her recklessness quickly became clear. Inside the car, over $2,000 in cash, nearly a pound of marijuana, and 65.5 g of hydrocodone, enough to rack up multiple felony charges. Hampton Higgins was booked on charges including felony fleeing, reckless driving, and possession with intent to deliver. Her excuse may have been emotional, but the law doesn't bend for dangerous behavior. Clayton County deputies thought they were making a routine stop until a white Cadillac CTS with dark tinted windows suddenly took off. It was November 29th, 2024, and 25-year-old Timothy Tukes had just made the worst decision of his life. [Music] 38 lane. >> The pursuit ended when officers performed a textbook pit maneuver, spinning the suspect into the opposite lane and boxing him in, but drivers still refused to surrender. >> Get out. Get out the Get out. Get out the Get out. Get out. Get out. >> Get out. Get out. [Applause] >> Get out. Get >> ready. In front of the down hotel. Keep an eye on her. >> I'm clear down hotel. Inside the car were found a loaded Glock 48 and an open bottle of Paul Masson and no valid license. But that wasn't all. Tuks confessed he ran to avoid getting caught with his brother's gun, not realizing the bigger problem. Two active felony warrants for sexual assault out of Decal County. Tuks was taken into custody and now faces a stack of charges, including felony fleeing, reckless driving, and possession of a firearm during a felony. A routine stop turned high stakes chase and one more dangerous fugitive is off the streets. In the early morning hours of October 14th, 2024, North Little Rock police were on high alert. A blue Dodge Challenger had previously fled from officers and now it was spotted again in the downtown area. With a perimeter set and units in position, all they needed was for the driver to return. And he did. [Music] 35. We're still slow rolling down in Maine. Southeast main 63 [Music] Broadway. [Music] The driver identified as cabin. and Polite was taken into custody without incident.
