** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** The Oklahoma Highway Patrol on Tuesday released dash-cam footage showing a trooper crashing into a suspect's pickup during a highway pursuit, resulting in the man's death after he was ejected from the vehicle. The footage shows trooper Jonathan Earls pursuing 44-year-old Alexander Larmon of Sapulpa eastbound on Interstate 40 about 70 miles southwest of Tulsa in the early-morning hours of May 8. The high-speed chase ended near Cromwell when Earls used a "tactical vehicle intervention" on Larmon's pickup, causing the vehicle to veer off the roadway and roll several times, coming to a rest on its top. Larmon was ejected about 10 feet from the vehicle, and troopers can be seen in the video searching a field covered in thick grass for the man. Eventually, a trooper who is off-screen is heard saying Larmon's body was found. Toward the end of the video, Earls tells somebody, "There wasn't nothing I could do. He was going to kill someone; he was drunk." An OHP report states Larmon had an odor of alcohol and was not wearing a seat belt when the crash occurred. The report does not indicate the estimated speeds of the pursuit, but a trooper in the video can be heard saying the pickup reached speeds in excess of 100 mph. The OHP has ruled the trooper’s use of force was justified. Law enforcement typically use the TVI maneuver in an attempt to cause a fleeing vehicle to turn sideways and come to a stop.
