One (Clever?) Way to Stop a Motorcycle Chase

trying to catch up the out front of me on November 8th 2023 an Arkansas State Trooper was on a routine Patrol when he saw a motorcycle lane splitting lane splitting may be legal in California but not in Arkansas also not legal in Arkansas going double the speed limit the trooper quickly flips on his lights and Sirens attempting to pull over the suspect the situation quickly evolves into a Pursuit one where officers utilize a tactic never seen before on this channel trying to catch up Le [Music] front spe about 130 130 this second officer is traveling

Northbound on i430 while the pursuing officer is traveling eastbound on I40 this second officer is likely rushing through traffic in hopes to continue the chase if the motorcyclist outpaces the pursuing officer otherwise if the suspect heads South the officer will have to use an unusual tactic to stop the chase which would be coming from the opposite side of the highway [Music] according to the speed tracker on the officer's Cruiser the pursuit reaches speeds of 142 mph one small misstep by this motorcyclist at these high speeds and he's done for [Music] [Music] [Music] going be a

blue motorcycle uh d we a hand [Music] green 37 going 43 right now [Music] 37 try to break your NE gets up there he's able to stay with you we are [Music] close GL down airp 10 I thinks okay listen he get to that 42 the right shoulder back [Music] a third officer joins the pursuit and jumps onto 40 East just behind the initial Cruiser the second Cruiser is still traveling Northbound on i430 and it looks like he won't be able to catch up in time to continue the chase on I40 however the suspect is

coming up to this for in the highway he can either continue East on I40 or he could decide to take an exit to travel Southbound on i430 and unknowingly travel towards the second pursuing officer [Music] [Music] you water [Music] 145 left anybody name [Music] seconde 43 Sou [Music] the suspect did take the i430 South exit and is now heading directly towards the Second Officer Thinking Fast the officer drives his Cruiser over the median in an attempt to make a blockade on the [Music] highway on the shoulder right now 4 sou 12 [Music] 4 South [Music]

12E of [Music] it the track he wrecked out wrecked out hey get on the ground on the ground now on the ground back son of hey shut the up hey shut up hey I don't give a [ __ ] we're cutting it we got these Cs on the yeah I don't give a [ __ ] cut your off too it's a little pool tab I don't care red tab I don't care it's getting cut off okay I going back to Father County yeah oh turn St facing this way I try hey face the car the

ride remain silent stand your right yes sir bike stolen no sir I just got it on Saturday I have theill of sale on this phone that can I pull these pants up real quick okay I don't have much to say to y'all but I apologize that was that was stupid I shouldn't I shouldn't have put y through that [Music] gun Ron take a picture of where this gun is let me get my camera yes sir how you run off the road this Lane and the shoulder that's the only reason they Pur stop yeah he can

either stop or run off the road using the math scene here on screen we estimate that the suspect is traveling roughly 32 to 45 mph when he passes in front of this Cruiser by employing this novel approach not only does this tactic bring the vehicular Chase to an abrupt halt but it also cleverly prompts the motorcyclist to swiftly and substantially reduce their speed to a much safer level far below 142 mph had you not done what you did he he'd still be running right now he's got no criminal history at all room run just be

run no dope no criminal history you're really just running run he just run for no reason any dop on no he's never even been arrested is what it is the exact same bike that I chased a couple months ago and he was driving the same too we doing his like he's getting on top of it weaving real hard like trying to shake it just it's being stupid you know according to a police report officers discovered he was carrying a blue pistol with an extra magazine in his backpack multiple officers in the area noted that they

witnessed who they believed to be the same Rider speeding excessively days prior but were not able to stop him the report list charges for one felony for fleeing in a vehicle causing substantial danger and several misdemeanors including reckless driving speeding more than than 15 over the limit which in this case it was likely more than 65 Mi over the speed limit improper unsafe Lane Change improper passing on left improper passing on right failure to use turn signal driving vehicle without tags no proof of insurance and no motorcycle endorsement his current court case verdict and sentencing
