- I had just completed a traffic stop near the intersection of U.S. 63 and Sullens Road on Wednesday, February 22, 2024. At
8:55 I observed a motorcycle turn southbound from Sullens Road onto U.S. 63 and as I was turning around to travel back
south, I noticed that the motorcycle did not appear to have any tags on it. It was at this time that I noticed that the motorcycle
was accelerating. I activated my front radar in the same direction mode and locked the motorcycle in at 109 miles per hour. I
activated my lights and siren and notified dispatch that I was in pursuit southbound on 63 toward Highway 91.
The motorcycle passed through the intersection of U.S. 63 and State Highway 91 at speeds over 120 miles per hour. It was
shortly after we cleared the intersection that the rider slowed down to around 100 miles per hour. When he slowed down, I was
able to get close enough to get a better description of the operator, however, I noticed that he was taking his left hand off his
hand grip and he was reaching inside the right breast pocket of his jacket. He would then speed up to over 120 miles per hour
and then he would slow down a second time and repeat the process of reaching into his pockets. This second time he slowed
down to under fifty miles per hour before speeding back up to over 120 miles per hour. Each time he did this he would create a
large gap between us before I was able to catch back up to him. As we were approaching the Sedgwick city limits the operator
slowed down again, this time to around 56 miles per hour. At this point, I pulled alongside him and attempted to force him over
onto the shoulder of the roadway and get him to pull over. At 8:59, as I was moving over onto the shoulder, I felt a slight bump
on my rear passenger’s side, and I saw the operator in my side view mirror lay his bike over into a yard.
After the operator came to rest, I checked him for weapons and called for an ambulance to check him over. He complained of
having left shoulder pain and he had some obvious road rash on his lower left leg. He was transported to St. Bernard’s in
Jonesboro by Pro Med ambulance. He was discharged at 5:30 a.m. where I transported him to the Lawrence County Jail for
several traffic charges as well as felony fleeing by conveyance, reckless driving, DWI drugs, and refusal to submit to the
chemical test.
I have noticed that the officers are determined to make the stop, but then take care of the person they stop. Great bunch of officers!!!
That semi truck driver at the beginning probably never saw the motorcycle and then after the motorcycle and cop shot past him, probably yelled oh thank God.
No surprise here. It's always the same ones on these bikes acting stupid & then say "I didn't see you!"
That's a carburated first gen FZ-1, great bikes. Deserves a better owner
Man oh man, Arkansas police never cesses to amaze me. Arkansas is a real role model to NY, CA, IL, MN and all the other States that are disabling the police departments.
In my life of 62 years as an Arkansas resident, I have been stopped maybe 3 times by Arkansas State Police Troopers. Two times were for speeding and once for headlight burned out. Every time they were very respectful, and every stop ended in only a warning. Personally, I really respect our State Police Troopers. I feel they perform a fantastic and difficult job. Obey the laws of our State and I assure you will have no problems with our State Troopers!
“I’m a first responder…” 🚶🏻bro just stands there watching. Glad he stopped by!!
And still the trooper showed the fleeing suspect kindness and compassion. Wish I was more like that man!!
I've seen a LOT of these videos.... This trooper was such a a pro, and really had empathy, when approaching this downed biker.
"I was getting ready to stop" never gets old.
Trooper Hawkins is a good guy. ASP is fortunate to have him.
“I didn’t know it was you” blue lights, siren, marked patrol car that pulled up in front/alongside! How many more clues do you need ? and still Trooper showed him care and compassion!
Kudos to that calm, compassionate officer. Well done, sir.
I just can't comprehend the mentality.................
No tags.
"I didn't se ya." 😂
Very professional officer
He got the ole Arkansas love tap 😂
Awesome job Trooper. Keep up the good work.
Those blue lights,blinded him to seeing the ASP car😊
