Arkansas State Police Pursuit | Don't Forget Your Girlfriend

For the latest in your demonetized enjoyment: On Friday, August 28th, 2020 while patrolling northbound on I-555, in Poinsett County, Arkansas, Trooper Blaine Middlecoff was ovetaken by a black passenger car displaying Florida tags. Middlecoff ran the tags displayed via ACIC, and the return indicated that the tags had expired in June 2020. Middlecoff initiatd a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle at the 20 mile marker northbound.
“I then approached the suspect vehicle on the passenger side and immediately smelled the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. I observed a male occupant (operator) and a female occupant (passenger), and I advised I was Trooper Middlecoff with the Arkansas State Police and advised the operator of the vehicle he was being stopped for expired license registration. I then asked for his license, registration, and proof of insurance. The suspect was only able to provide his license and a rental agreement at the time. It was at this time I asked the suspect to exit the vehicle and meet me at the rear of his vehicle.
Once at the rear of the vehicle I asked the suspect if there were any illegal items within the vehicle or on his person, in which he stated there [were not]. The suspect stated he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day but did not have any with him.
I then did a quick search for weapons on the suspects person and walked back to the vehicle and asked the passenger if there were any drugs within the vehicle. The passenger stated there was nothing illegal in the vehicle and stated she was on her period. I then asked the passenger to step out of the vehicle. The passenger again stated she was on her period before exiting the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle I observed a large bulge within the lower portion of the passenger’s front waistband. I asked her what the bulge was, and she stated it was a pad for her period. I then advised her I knew it was not a pad and to pull it out from her waistband. The passenger then pulled a small baggie of suspected marijuana out from her waistband and handed it to me. I then placed the bag on the front of the suspect vehicle and escorted the passenger to where the suspect and Cpl. McLaughlin was standing.
It was at this time I returned to the suspect vehicle to search for any other illegal items within. When I opened the front driver door, I immediately observed a 40 round rifle magazine in the door pocket. Then I observed the barrel of a rifle just under the driver seat. It was at this time I made the decision to place both subjects into custody until my investigation was complete. As I approached the suspect, he fled towards his vehicle, escaping my attempt[s] to detain him. * * *
Cpl. McLaughlin and I entered our patrol unit, leaving the passenger, and began pursuing the suspect. As we were pursuing the suspect, I reached speeds of 120 mph before catching up to him approximately 3 miles from the stop location. The suspect entered the 24 exit onto State Highway 463. He then immediately returned to I-555 southbound in attempt to flee into Tennessee. As I caught up to the suspect - reaching speeds of 130mph - I observed him weaving in and out of traffic, almost striking multiple vehicles. I was then able to get close enough to perform a PIT to end the pursuit. On my first attempt the suspect engaged his brakes, disrupting my positioning. I then attempted to reposition for a second attempt, but the suspect continued to cut me off and brake to keep me from getting in position. I was able to get in position a third time but again the suspect braked and attempted to ram the side of my patrol unit. After regaining control, I was once again behind the suspect vehicle as he continued to flee. After many attempts to regain a good position for a PIT, I was able to PIT the suspect vehicle as he tried once again to brake. This sent us both into the median of I-555. The suspect was able to regain control of his vehicle and proceed onto I-555 southbound.
It was at this time I performed a second PIT which stopped the suspect in the median. I was then able to take the suspect into custody without further incident.
Once the suspect was in custody and in the back of my patrol unit, I searched the suspect vehicle for any more illegal items. That search ultimately revealed - among other things - 168 grams of marijuana, $7,128 cash, and multiple loaded firearms.
The suspect vehicle was towed from the scene by Rusty’s Towing. The passenger, whose first name is allegedly “Maddie,” was never located. The suspect, Randy Blackburn, was arrested and transported to Poinsett County Detention center on charges of felony fleeing, reckless driving, speeding, resisting arrest, possession of firearms by prohibited person, simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of schedule 6 with purpose to deliver, and possession instruments of a crime.

[@mango8918]

IMO, Scott McLaughlin, the trooper who was in the right seat was the main reason things went bad from the get-go. He let the driver wander around while he just stood there and did not maintain control of the situation. After the pit, he was more concerned about his car than helping assess and control the situation. At one point, you can hear trooper Middlecoff apologize for damaging the squad car. McLaughlin wasn't doing anything to help Middlecoff search the perp's car but stood idly by occasionally looking at the damage to the squad car. If he was doing his job, the perp would not have regained entry to his car and sped away.

I noticed that too. As soon as the girl came over they should have been made to lean on the bumper and stay or be detained in cuffs.

I didn’t find that funny. Something could’ve happened to her. Yeah , she tried to cover for her boyfriend, put yourself in her shoe. Would you want to be left on the side of the road like that?

[@LHyoutube]

@@trishisback838 - There's relatively little that could have happened to her, and the potential negatives of hypothetically being hit by a passing car or being generally inconvenienced are more than made up for by the positive outcome (to her) of being able to flee and escape any identification, charges or repercussions whatsoever! 😂 And anyway, it was a necessary action taken by the officers. The suspect fleeing in possession of a gun posed more of an overall risk than did leaving the woman beside the road. And it's against protocol to take her with them in a pursuit, because of the risk if they were involved in an accident. And leaving an officer with her would have made the pursuit more difficult and more dangerous, because only one officer would be driving, operating the radio and taking the suspect into custody.

One habit I adopted was having the driver turning the vehicle off and have'm put the keys on top of the cab or hand them to me before removing the occupants and hand them back to the licensed driver upon completion of traffic. Just baffles me why many LEO's don't do that in a lot of their stops. High speed pursuits does amp you up, but you got to know when to amp it down, hot headedness doesn't help focusing on the task after detaining the suspect. That was a hell of PIT despite the driver trying evasive maneuvers to counter the PIT, he still got put in the ditch,...or median in this case.

I'm from Ohio these troopers remind me of our troopers! You don't mess around with highway troopers boy!! They have a whole different set of rules on the interstate I swear! That young cop that pitted him & pulled a gun on him is so MAD AF! I'm over halfway through this video that cop is so mad like it's personal! Thank you real world Police I know you have been dealing with demonetization I produce a couple channels here on KZbin we can't even show anyone getting arrested without getting demonetized why I hope everyone pulled together to support your Channel and because you are king of all these body cam Channels I have been following you for a long time when it was just you on KZbin ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Insurance doesn't cover damage sustained as a result of your criminal activity, including damage caused by the police in attempting to detain you for said activity.

Pro tip: If your vehicle is governed at 115mph, and the cops seen your weed and gun, don't try to run. Edit: These officers were awesome to watch work. Diciplined and funny. A hard combo. Keep up the great work officers!

I agree and it's hard to believe anyone is ignorant enough to leave the three stupid replies above this one that were left complaining about the pursuit. Apparently they can't read OR see.

When they get them out of the car, they need to take keys out of ignition. Put them on top of car, passenger side or put them on hood. Would seriously decrease amount of chases at least temporarily.
