I-37's incident report: "On, December 22nd, 2023 Stone County Deputies initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for following to closely to another vehicle. Deputies advised that the vehicle pulled over and then quickly sped off. Deputies pursued the vehicle. Deputies stated that the vehicle was traveling at speeds exceeding 80 MPH and they observed items being thrown from the vehicle. SGT Joe Beaudin, with the Stone County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from Arkansas State Police Troop I Dispatch. I took lead on the pursuit, just West of Pleasant Grove. The vehicle was exceeding speeds of 90 MPH and was unable to maintain its lane of travel. The pursuit continued into Independence County. Approximately 5 miles into Independence County, the driver of vehicle, identified as Caleb Gurley, lost control of the vehicle and wrecked. Mr. Gurley was very uncooperative and would not provide his name and information to law enforcement and medical staff who were trying to render aid. The only statements that were made by Mr. Gurley were threatening in nature and he cursed the medical staff. I observed several unopened containers of Busch Light inside of the vehicle. Both occupants were transported by ambulance to the White River Medical Center in Batesville, AR. When I arrived at the hospital, a search warrant was obtained for Mr. Gurley’s blood, based on the suspicion of DWI. I spoke with the passenger of the vehicle who stated that Mr. Gurley had picked her up at approximately 4:00 PM and they were going to his parents’ house. The passenger stated that Mr. Gurley had been drinking in the car while they were traveling and that she saw him drink 2-3 beer on the drive, she also stated that she believed that he had been smoking Marijuana. I asked the passenger why Mr. Gurley ran, and she stated that he said that he had warrants. The passenger stated that she told Mr. Gurley to stop the vehicle several times during the pursuit but he refused. During a search of the vehicle, a small container of Marijuana and a Marijuana pipe were located inside of the vehicle. Later, when Mr. Gurley was asked about the Marijuana and the pipe, he stated that it belonged to him. Mr. Gurley also stated that he ran because he had warrants. It was also found that Mr. Gurley had a suspended driver’s license. Evidence is being stored under control number 2023122303065I at ASP vault in Harrison."

I live in stone county, and know this dude. Always has been a tool, always will be. Went to school with the trooper, actually only live about 5 miles from him, great dude.

[@TheDude1764]

Good to know it was a toolbag that got wrecked out and not someone just jammed up with a bad decision. Trooper seems like a honest dude. Even wanted the roadway debris where it lay for accurate documentation!

[@GregAvey-s1n]

I know Nathan. His wife is my cousin. He is a great dude!

[@rescuelover7891]

I started watching ASP videos when my husband passed and was out of it. Of course, now I am hooked. I've seen other state videos but am convinced Arkansas has the best Troopers I've seen. The people of Arkansas are lucky to have them.

[@Evyenne]

Me too, my husband passed summer of 2022, and I’ve been watching since not long after. It helps to keep my mind busy, and not thinking. Love ASP and NST!

Nice work by Trooper Masterson. That crash was a close call for his safety. Always prayers for the first responders. Thanks for the video NST!

It is a spine of steel and true dedication that makes an ASP officer great.

Crazy chase on those windy roads. That was a pretty serious wreck for the car to break apart leaving the front end, tires and motor actually sitting in the middle of the darned road! Those two were incredibly lucky to be alive.

18:10 - His front end and motor are sitting in the middle of the highway. 🤯🤯🤯 "Gurley and his passenger sustained Non-life - threatening injuries in the crash." Non-life - threatening after that horrific crash?? Wow! 😮😮 There must have been angels watching over them.

It is a little after 2am Saturday morning and a great time to see NST

I can't wrap my mind around people that run for whatever reason. Praying they are doing alright. Thank you NST, this one was a sit on the edge of your seat nail biting video. Be Blessed and stay safe. 🙏❤🇺🇸🚑

[@wilgerdes3240]

...great ad...he coulda' picked up an engine core!

[@Doxymeister]

I've never driven that particular stretch of highway, but I have driven enough of Arkansas's mountain roads to develop a healthy respect for them. LOL, I drove a few of them that were dirt or gravel back then, which is even worse, especially back before mountain curves were given the proper tilt/grade to enable a higher speed. Anyway, glad you guys are safe! And b e safe over the New Year. Cheers, AST!

[@marknichols217]

Great job Nathan. Make Stone county proud and anyone with one eye and hair- lipped would know to slow down in that stretch of road

For real. Can’t believe they survived that crash. She was given a miraculous second chance to make better choices.

Traffic control on rural 2 lane roads is tough. The objective is to place all equipment into 1 lane completely. As a first responder myself, a radio at each end on the same ops channel thus allows the safety officer to stop all traffic as needed.

Love the way you are scrolling updates of the pursuit now. Wish you had access to body cams to get extra footage of the captures. Do you accept donations? Tried to find a link to support this channel but can’t. Love your content. Keep up the great work!

[@Wyomingchief]

I know this might be a little unusual observation, but Trooper Masterson looks to be on a really short side. Really the only reason I noticed is because so many of the officers I've noticed are way over 6 ft

[@heathercreighton9613]

So???

Andy Murphy was 5’5” and was the most decorated soldier. Bravery comes in all shapes, sizes, and heights!! 😊

[@LittleMo777.]

No you couldn’t be that ignorant!😮

[@wisdomrules8474]

I noticed that immediately since I'm on the short side too. I know it's not a criticism, just an observation.

[@rowleystout]

Great job, ASP. As always. Could you guys teach the LAPD how to apprehend criminals in a chase? Most of theirs allow the runner to put innocent lives in danger until the car thief or whoever ultimately dumps the car in a parking garage and gets away, or the police just give up on the chase. Arkansas is on my list of states to move to.

That’s what I call an “Unplanned rapid disassembly” ….

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Great vedio but I don't understand why he didn't pit before the accident, he had several opportunities. The other lead cop even asked him to take over & pit him.

[@PeggyLowman-ug6vo]

Thanks for the warning about the volume.. that would have been brutal. 😖
