Speeding Stolen Corolla PIT Maneuver into woods - Driver facing multiple felonies

Report:
On Friday, January 19, 2024, at approximately 11:29 p.m., I was sitting stationary on Interstate 40 in the 196-mile marker
turnaround conducting speed enforcement with Lidar. While I was watching eastbound traffic, I observed a white Toyota Corolla
pass me at 102 mph in a 75-mph zone. I pulled onto the interstate and attempted to stop the vehicle. I got behind the suspect
vehicle and activated my emergency lights. The suspect vehicle did not yield to my lights and continued driving eastbound and I
activated my siren. I notified Troop D Communications that I was pursuing the vehicle. The suspect vehicle made unsafe lane
changes around other motorists and continued to exceed 100 mph.
I performed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention on Interstate 40 near the 202-mile marker. The suspect car rotated clockwise
around the front of my patrol vehicle and struck the passenger side of my vehicle. Body damage was caused to multiple areas
of the passenger side of my vehicle. The suspect vehicle came to rest in a wooded area south of Interstate 40. The suspect fled
on foot and the passenger (Jacques Johnson) was arrested without further incident. With the help of local law enforcement
agencies, we were able to find the suspect driver (Lacyrus Green) in a residence located off State Highway 33 South.
The suspect vehicle smelled strongly of alcohol and marijuana. While searching the suspect vehicle and the surrounding area, I
found a rife, multiple THC Schedule VI products, and a half empty bottle of Pink Whitney alcohol. The suspect vehicle was also reported stolen out of Memphis, TN. Both Mr. Green and Mr. Johnson were transported to the Prairie County Jail without
further incident.
Charges are as follows:
Lacyrus Green
-A.C.A. 5-74-106; Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms Class Y Felony
-A.C.A. 5-73-103; Possession of Firearms by Certain Person Class B Felony
-A.C.A. 5-65-436(b)(3); Possession of a Schedule VI w/ Purpose to Deliver Class C Felony
-A.C.A. 5-36-106(e)(2); Theft by Receiving Class C Felony
-A.C.A. 5-54-125; Fleeing Class D Felony

Notice they still charged him with everything they could come up with including open container as a passenger. He might as well have been an asshole. Good lawyer will probably get everything but possession dropped though. Can't prove it was his rifle.

@@WhoGitDaBiscuit all those full jails in CA and NY just filled themselves, huh? Its so funny listening to you guys. Ever notice that those "bright red" counties drop/negotiate charges just as much as the blue ones do? Its almost like they don't want to pay for some criminal to have 3 hots and a cot for years on the public dime. They come at it a different direction, but the result is the same.

Never ceases to amaze me when people know their doing something illegal or have warrants they do something simple like speeding. If they had any sense at all they would be doing exactly the speed limit, seat belt on and checking to make sure all their lights are working properly.

Econo-car vs ASP Charger equipped with pursuit package (I think that's what they call 'em when they sport the Hemi engine) - no contest.

[@nathangortz3203]

The motor is no different than a civilian hemi. If anything, the vehicle is slower than a standard charger due to civilian vehicles being a 8 speed auto and the police modules are 5 speed autos. They are only 5 speeds for 2 reasons, 1 certain chargers are all wheel drive, 2 the 5 speeds are bulletproof compared to the 8 speed. The police vehicles have much more robust cooling systems to handle idling and speeding for long periods of time and the suspension is beefed up for handling the abuse they'll endure. Lastly and this is minor, the charging system is beefed up with a better alternator to handle the constant lights and handle the laptop and all that.

Criminal should learn to never try to run from State Troopers and especially Southern State Troopers 😅. Notice when he was having the passenger who actually DIDN'T act like a fool back towards him a truck go by without any back lights, so see if he wasn't dealing with these idiots he could have let them know their lights were out so nobody has a wreck. At least the guy is cooperating to were the Officers don't get shot by anyone.
