Running from police sends adrenaline surging, which might explain why suspects do incredibly risky things, like brake-checking a patrol car. Some suspects in a Ford F-350 did exactly that as Arkansas State Police followed just a few feet behind.
Brake-checking a pursuing officer is a dangerous and reckless escalation. The risky maneuver endangered everyone involved and only added to the serious charges the suspects already faced for fleeing.
