Trooper's Narrative: ON APRIL 15, 2023, AT APPROXIMATE 9:02 AM, I, TROOPER ETHAN CARLTON, WAS PATROLLING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 365. I VISUALLY OBSERVED A BLACK HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED NEAR LAKE CONWAY. RADAR CONFIRMED WITH A CLEAR DOPLER TONE A SPEED OF 92 MILES PER HOUR IN A 50 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. ONCE THE DRIVER RECOGNIZED MY POLICE CRUISER, HE REDUCED HIS SPEED RAPIDLY AS HE PASSED ME THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE DRIVER APPEARED TO BE A WHITE MALE WITH A BLACK SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT, BLACK LEATHER CHAPS, AND BROWN BOOTS. AS I MADE A U TURN TO MAKE A TRAFFIC STOP, I HEARD THE MOTORCYCLE ACCELERATING DUE TO THE LOUD EXHAUST. THE DRIVER THEN MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO LAWRENCE LANDING ROAD AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE DRIVER THEN VEERED ONTO GOLD LAKE CLUB ROAD, WHERE I LOST SIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE DUE TO A SHARP LEFT CURVE ON TOP OF A HILL. ONCE I TOPPED THE HILL AND MADE THE SHARP CURVE INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA, I DID NOT SEE THE MOTORCYCLE. DUE TO THE AREA BEING A SMALL CIRCLE DRIVE, I TURNED OFF MY SIREN AND ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOWS TO ATTEMPT TO HEAR THE LOUD EXHAUST. THERE WAS NOT ANY LOUD EXHAUST SOUNDS CONSISTENT TO THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. I TALKED TO A LADY SITTING OUTSIDE 16 GOLD LAKE CLUB ROAD. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD NOT SEEN A MOTORCYCLE PASS HER. AS I CAME UPON THE DRIVEWAY OF 14 GOLD LAKE CLUB ROAD, I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO AN UNDISTURBED, SKINNY SINGLE TIRE SKID MARK DOWN THE GRAVEL DRIVEWAY LEADING TO A SMALL SHED WITH THE DOOR OPEN. AS I GOT OUT TO SPEAK WITH THE LADY IN THE FRONT YARD OF NUMBER 14, I VISUALLY OBSERVED A BLACK MOTORCYCLE MATCHING THE DESCRIPTION PULLED INTO THE SHED. WHILE APPROACHING THE FEMALE, A WHITE MALE WITH A BLACK SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT, BLACK CHAPS, AND BROWN BOOT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DRIVER WALKED OUT OF THE SHED THAT THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN. I OBSERVED THE MALE TO HAVE A HANDGUN ON HIS RIGHT HIP. I REMOVED A .40 CALIBER SMITH AND WESSON HANDGUN SN: FZX8754 ALONG WITH ONE EXTRA MAGAZINE FROM THE MALE AND DETAINED HIM IN MY UNIT. AS I APPROACHED THE MOTORCYCLE, THE MOTOR WAS STILL MAKING NOISES FROM BEING HOT, AND HEAT WAS RADIATING FROM THE MOTOR AND EXHAUST. IT WAS A BLACK HARLEY DAVIDSON WITH A WINDSHIELD AND SADDLE BAGS CONSISTENT WITH THE MOTORCYCLE IN QUESTION. THE MALE SUBJECT, IDENTIFIED AS BOBBY MCELROY DOB: 10-13-1978. MR. MCELROY WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TRRANSPORTED TO FAULKNER COUNTY DETENTION CENTER UNIT 2, WHERE HE WAS BOOKED ON THE ABOVE LISTED CHARGES. STEVES AUTO TOWED THE MOTORCYCLE TO THEIR IMPOUND LOT.
