144 MPH Pursuit of Blacked-Out Dodge Charger

PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS - From the report of Corporal Cleyton McDonald, lightly edited for clarity: "On October 3, 2019, at 10:41 p.m., I advised dispatch that I was in pursuit of a black Dodge Charger on Interstate 430 northbound at Rodney Parham. The Charger had been speeding, and made a sudden lane change from lane one across to lane three. I tried to read the vehicle's license plate but, never got close enough to see it.
I continue to pursue the vehicle traveling westbound on Highway 10. The operator of the Charger was driving erratically, swerving between lanes,, and had turned its headlights off.
The Charger continued to drive in that manner, running several red lights. At 10:44 p.m., I advised Pulaski County and Little Rock Police Department units in the area that I had lost sight of the vehicle at Highway 10 and Taylor Loop. No ASP vehicles were damaged in the pursuit."

ASP has some of the best training in the USA right next to Alaska troopers. Their training is more like a military boot camp expierience and it much different than a police acadamy. That's why there policy allows them to do chases at high speeds and pit manuvers because they are the best of the best. Police here in arkansas are also well respected because they are an example of what police professionalism should be. Most of your high speed chases on this channel was actually ASP pursuits as well. Now I know I'm going down as a bootlicker here but I'm more a of the person wearing the boots as well and in my expierience, you want ASP to back you up because they are the best of the best.
