It started like any other routine morning on the Arkansas interstate… until a silver Chrysler 300 blasted past a trooper at over 100 miles per hour, refusing to stop.
Dashcam footage shows the moment Trooper Jacob Byrd flips on his sirens and floors the gas — the chase is on. The suspect weaves recklessly between lanes, nearly clipping other drivers as he tries to disappear into the open road.
Every second counts. The trooper radios for backup as the Chrysler barrels down an exit ramp, dirt flying from its tires. But this driver isn’t slowing down — he’s desperate, and his every move shows it.
At one point, the vehicle swerves so violently that it nearly loses control, but somehow manages to stay upright. The chase stretches for miles, cutting through quiet neighborhoods and back onto the highway.
Finally, Trooper Byrd times his move perfectly. He lines up, waits for the curve — and executes a textbook PIT maneuver. The Chrysler spins out, crashing to a stop on the shoulder.
Officers rush in, weapons drawn. The driver’s hands go up. The wild pursuit is over — but the questions are just beginning.
What made him run? Drugs? Warrants? Or just pure panic?
Either way, it’s another reminder that when you see those blue lights flashing behind you — running is never the right choice.
