Drug Running Dodge Charger Runs From Police, Goes Airborne, Gets Pitted Into Building

Pretty much everyone knows criminals seem to really love Mopar muscle cars. That’s probably true for several reasons, including their overall popularity, tons of power, and flashy looks. But just because guys like these suspected drug dealers can afford something with gobs of power doesn’t mean they know how to really drive it.

Watch a driver jump out of his truck in the middle of a police PIT.

That’s important as Little Rock Police start tailing the Dodge Charger to stop and search it. For whatever set of reasons they suspect the occupants are dealing drugs out of the Mopar.

But once the driver notices multiple police cars trailing behind, he takes off and the chase is on.

Almost immediately the suspects get on the highway where the muscle car can stretch its legs and really put some distance between it and the porky police SUV that’s heading up the pursuit. At least that’s the theory.

In practice, the getaway driver might have a sinister-looking black Charger, but he drives kind of like he’s behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla. The guy seems to struggle keeping the car under control, especially in sweeping turns, and he blows the lead he starts to gain, allowing police to catch up.

Also, the guy keeps signaling, it’s weird. Why do people who are running from police do that?

The lead officer even at one point comments on how the suspect isn’t a good driver so the chase should be over quickly. He’s not wrong but he’s not entirely right.

Even though the Dodge Charger driver isn’t all that talented, the raw power of his muscle car allows him to stay ahead of the police, so this chase goes for a while as it snakes through surface streets in Little Rock.

At one point the Mopar even catches some air as it speeds through an intersection. What should’ve been a short, rather uneventful chase has turned into something far more interesting.

The lead officer finally ends the chase when the suspect tries gingerly turning left. A hard PIT sends the Charger careening into an old building and from there it’s a foot chase.
