Chrysler 300 Driver Bets He Can Outrun An Arkansas Trooper

Of all the agencies to challenge to a race, Arkansas State Police rank near the bottom. Yet a suspect in a black Chrysler 300 effectively did just that by fleeing an attempted traffic stop, pitting himself against a trained trooper in a contest he was unlikely to win.

Overestimating one’s chances against skilled troopers is a recurring mistake. The driver’s confidence proved misplaced, joining the long list of fleeing motorists who learned the hard way that Arkansas pursuits rarely end in escape.
