My mom has worked for Tyson Foods for a couple decades now. She visited a facility nearby years back. At the time, Tyson was having branded "stress chickens" made. Someone thought it would be humorous to make one that was a pistachio-like green color, with spots, and hand them out at that specific facility. It's sat on her desk for well over a decade now 😂

[@Isaac_132]

When I see "MC" in the title I've got to click. I missed the GPS and telemetry on this one tho.

Outstanding pursuit by all LEOS. The cooperation between agencies is amazing. STAY SAFE OUT THERE TROOPERS AND ALL OTHER LEOS.

H-31's Incident Report: " On Thursday, January 2, 2024, I, Trooper Tim Robinson was conducting patrol on Interstate 40 eastbound near the 42-mile marker when I saw a black motorcycle with no tag on it traveling in front of me in the left lane. I got close to the bike to confirm there was no tag and the rider looked back at me and moved to the right lane then moved to the right shoulder and began to accelerate away from me. I activated my emergency lights and sirens and pursued the bike, reaching speeds of 140 MPH. The rider was passing vehicles on both the right and left shoulder, splitting lanes, and continuing to travel at a high rate of speed, we passed multiple vehicles. I continued pursuing the bike (now in Troop J, Johnson County). Corporal Lonnie Moore entered the pursuit and became the primary vehicle. I continued traveling with Cpl. Moore and I were giving dispatch updates on locations and speeds. Near the 64-mile marker, my vehicle became disabled, and I had to exit the pursuit. Cpl. Moore continued pursuing the bike onto Highway 64 in London. Cpl. Moore lost sight of the bike and Chief Joann Demmitt with the London Police Department was able to continue the pursuit. The rider wrecked the bike at the 9000 block of Hwy 64 and Chief Demmitt was able to take the rider, Chris Smith into custody. After the pursuit had ended, I was informed by the 5th Judicial Drug Task Force Agents they were waiting at Smith’s house because they believed he was carrying a pound of Methamphetamine. I was not aware of this when I initiated the pursuit with Smith. EMS arrived on scene and transported Smith to Saint Mary’s Hospital where he was evaluated by doctors. While at the hospital I informed Smith of my name and why I had attempted to stop him. I read Smith his Miranda Rights, and I asked him why he fled. Smith stated he wanted to go home. Smith told me his bike was impounded last week by Russellville PD and he did not want his bike impounded again. I asked Smith if he had any narcotics with him and if he had thrown the narcotics when he crashed. Smith stated he did not have anything illegal with him. Smith was discharged from the hospital with a fractured clavicle. Smith was transported to the Franklin County Detention Center where he was booked in for Felony Fleeing 5-54-125(d)(3), Reckless Driving 27-50-302(a)(2), Speeding More Than 15 Over 27-50-302(a)(7), Improper Lane Change/Usage 27-51-302, Driving With Suspended License 27-16-303, No Insurance 27 22-104, Failure to Register Vehicle 27-14-701, Fictitious Tags 27-14-306, and No Motorcycle Endorsement 27-20-106."

[@low_rider97]

Loved the placement of the bumper sticker on the cars!!! In the beginning of the video you can see that white cloud off in the distance and now at the end of the video they are right by it!!! I think they went thru 3 counties, what a long pursuit! Thank you James! Stay safe everyone.

[@rastus666]

Some people learned the hard way that you might be able to outrun the cop, but you’ll never outrun his radio.

[@Phil-y8c]

Indeed and last I heard is that radio waves propagate at the speed of light....186,000 miles/sec.

[@OldschoolRed]

Some people always say that yet back when I rode me and a group of homies use to drop a gear a dissappear all the time when cops tried to light us up for speeding or doing wheelies. It's the rider. If the bike will do over 160 and the rider knows how to drag knee pucks they are not catching a thing.

[@lauraconley6388]

Its amazing that kid is alive at those speeds. Crazy

[@Isaac_132]

Kid? He's 33 and on parole. He's about 15-20 years and at least one felony past "kid".

[@carolrice2063]

Really changed the format of showing the Speed and the brakes and Mic and I like seeing it on the video and hoping it is going to be back in the future videos ???

Good Thursday morning James, NST family and friends!

[@PamelaCulp-k7v]

NST, loving the variety of videos tonight from Troops A,K,H,&J. Trooper Robinson gave great chase while his car lasted. Cpl Moore is giving his all as well. Wow, this dude was lucky. This dude ran because it's a new bike🤷‍♀️ The view at this stop is gorgeous. Thank you so much, James.💙 ❤️ 🇺🇲 🚑 🚑 🚑☕️☕️

[@johnniejohnson8026]

I do not know why these motorcycle riders think they are invincible that new ride turned you into a felon both Troopers did a great job NST did a great job showing the beautiful state of Arkansas

[@rightsideupvt]

Too bad they smoked another V8 charger. Wonder how many transmissions they have on hand?

[@Isaac_132]

I do track days and we always go to the track with fresh fluids because we want the engines and transmission to last. Lots of maintenance goes into keeping the mechanicals running. I wonder if ASP sticks to a routine maintenance schedule or if their cars go in for service after being run hard. My guess is they don't really maintain them all that well.

[@DennisDickinson]

@@Isaac_132 You would guess wrong. The lives of the troopers and the public around them depend on the vehicles. Unfortunately, they drive them huge numbers of miles, as well as at high speeds, and over surfaces that vary from fields to woods to pasture to dirt roads to gravel roads to hardtop to actual paved roadways to interstates. If you listen to the transport portions, it is not unusual to hear mileage over 100,000 miles on relatively new vehicles. The life of a cop car is a hard one.

[@natedowns5]

Asp budget is 109.3 million do I'm sure they have plenty of transmission or other vehicles on standby

[@brendahay1953]

Great job on this one. Got that runner.🤪

[@nframe9264]

Really amazing they were not writing tickets for all those left lane drivers.

Trooper Moore walks like RoboCop

[@timtaylor291]

That's going to be expensive.

So many drivers need to go back to driving school. When a emergency vehicle approaches GO TO THE RIGHT.😂
