Speeding ticket turns into PURSUIT and multiple charges! Arkansas State Police PIT / TVI Maneuver

Trooper Little's Report:
On December 6, 2023, at approximately 11:24 p.m., I, Trooper Jeb Little #586, observed a red passenger car traveling 75mph
in a 50mph construction zone on I-30 WB near 141MM. I initiated my emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop with the
suspect vehicle. The suspect vehicle took the 141MM exit, failed to yield, and began to flee west on Bishop Lindsey Avenue.
V1 drove in excess of 60 mph in a residential neighborhood towards North Main Street.
At approximately 11:24 p.m. I advised dispatch I was in pursuit. The suspect vehicle then ran through a red light at the
intersection of Bishop Lindsey Avenue and North Main Street. The suspect vehicle turned north onto Main Street and continued
to flee. At approximately 11:25 p.m. I executed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention causing the suspect vehicle to collide with the
concrete wall located on the east side of the roadway. The suspect vehicle came to final rest against the concrete wall facing
north. No damage occurred to my patrol unit.
At approximately 11:25 p.m. the suspect, Kaleb Tharpe, was taken into custody. Trooper Daniel Parker arrived on scene shortly
after. Trp. Parker and I conducted an inventory of the vehicle. Trp. Parker located a Glock 19 handgun (SN: FFU461) sitting in
the driver's seat of the vehicle. I located two bags of marijuana, numerous small clear plastic bags, and a black electronic scale
in a backpack located in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle. A.C. Lewis was called to tow the vehicle. As Trp. Parker
completed the inventory of the vehicle, I transported Mr. Tharpe to Baptist Hospital to be medically cleared. Upon being
medically cleared, Mr. Tharpe was transported to Pulaski County Detention Center and charged with the following:
27-50-302(a)(7): SPEEDING - MORE THAN 15 MPH OVER LIMIT
27-14-716: IMPROPER DISPLAY OF LICENSE TAGS

This is a perfect example of a trooper. Can be aggressive and loud when necessary, but firm and educational as well. You can certainly tell this trooper emphasized with his "make better choices" how routine this would have been and how disappointed he was. Have you ever noticed when in a conversation with people and you tell them you're "disappointed" by their actions how much it strikes a nerve? Not all, but a lot. I've used that several times in my conversations with a few kids I've dealt with in my job, because I truly was, and almost all of them by the time we were done were wiping tears.

I love how the officer keeps asking why he ran, as if he actual had a coherent reason. He ran because he didn't want to get caught, didn't want to be held accountable, because that is the instinct of someone that is ALREADY a breaking the law intentionally (speeding, suspended license, Glock in car, etc) - its not like he saw the officer and thought about he, he just went with his gut.

[@youtubeisassho8834]

​@hand730It depends where the gun is in most states. Mine requires it to be in a compartment or holstered beneath the seat. Kid said he had it in his door, so possibly still a crime.

[@youtubeisassho8834]

​@hand730Also, having a gun while in possession of a controlled substance is, of itself, a crime depending on the substance and the amount and whether it was already in the commission of a felony. Ya know, something like felony fleeing and eluding.

[@youtubeisassho8834]

@hand730 I'm a bit older, and have been caught with weed my whole life. Never ran. Only caught 1 charge due to a zero tolerance law. Most cops will have you toss it. Also, I never complained. I knew what I did, and dealt with the consequences. That's the difference. This kid knew not to be driving around with weed and a gun on a suspended license, and then tried to run from the cops. Trying to defend such stupidity only illustrates how useless your opinion is.

@hand730 You have no idea what you're talking about, which you proved again and again.

[@youtubeisassho8834]

@hand730 Again, you have absolutely no idea what you're yapping on about. The 0.03% thc reference you keep making from the Federal Farm Act limiting the thc content in hemp, and has nothing to do with actual weed. What you are mistakenly attributing that number to is the allowable thc content in otc cbd and thca products, not weed, which is 0.3% thc. CBD is not weed. Not only that, but states regulate the possesion of drugs and enforce those regulations locally, not the Fed. You're hopeless in your own ignorance.
