Apparently, the trooper was surprised to have not also ended Ms. Putt…
From the report of Corporal Michael Bowman, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: “On January 30, 2019, I, Cpl. Michael Bowman, was on Interstate 40, releasing a violator, when I heard Arkansas Highway Police Lt. Tim Gushing say he was in pursuit of a vehicle. That day, within minutes of each other, dispatch had given out three different BOLOs for stolen vehicles out of Ft. Smith. Lt Gushing said that he was trying to stop one of the vehicles entered as stolen, which was going north on I-540 from Kelley Highway. Lt. Gushing was requesting assistance from the Arkansas State Police. I then turned my lights and siren on, and met the fleeing vehicle and Lt. Gushing around the 3 mile marker on Interstate 540.
The vehicle was a 2004 white Acura passenger car. I then became the secondary unit in the pursuit with Lt. Gushing. At the time when I first made contact, the vehicle was driving approximately 100 mph. I then followed the pursuit and watched as the vehicle passed traffic in an unsafe manner at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle then took the Interstate 40 west ramp and got onto Interstate 40. As I rounded the curve I could see that the vehicle was passing a tractor trailer on the shoulder. As we continued west, I continued to see that the vehicle would drive from 90 to 120 mph, and would recklessly pass vehicles either on the shoulder or the left lane. Then around the 3 mile marker on Interstate 40, the vehicle again passed a tractor trailer on the shoulder and struck something that caused the passenger side rear tire to go flat. Lt. Gushing then took the right lane, as if he was going to pass on the shoulder, so I slowed and he slowed, which caused me to eventually become the primary unit.
As this was taking place, I observed the passenger side rear tire come apart, which caused part of the fender to fly off of the suspect vehicle. The suspect vehicle slowed to 80 mph then accelerated again to over 90 mph. At the Dora Road Exit the suspect exited the interstate on to Dora Road, and continued traveling west. The suspect vehicle then drove across the double yellow line, and traveled into the oncoming traffic lane. At a sharp left hand curve, the vehicle passed westbound traffic again, by crossing the double yellow line into oncoming traffic lane. At the time I could see that there was no other traffic present, which would have been on coming. I was then informed to push her off the roadway in a curve that was a short distance ahead, if possible.
Once we got to the curve I could see that there was no traffic on the roadway, so I attempted to push the vehicle from behind, twice, towards the shoulder. This caused the back end of the suspect vehicle to fish tail around, however the vehicle recovered and continued traveling westbound.
The suspect then crossed into Oklahoma on US Highway 64D, headed back towards Garrison Avenue in Ft. Smith. I was behind the vehicle and it continued to drive from one lane to the other, and accelerated to 110 mph. I was then told that if I had a chance, to go ahead and attempt a PIT on the vehicle. When there was no traffic around, I pulled up along the driver’s side rear of the vehicle, and with the front right of my unit, I turned into the vehicle, just enough to cause the vehicle to spin off the roadway.
The vehicle left the roadway on the south side and began to roll. The suspect vehicle then struck a tree and came to rest on its tires facing north. As I was turning around, Lt. Gushing and Trp. Kevin Yates were at the vehicle assisting the driver, who was climbing out of the rear window. The driver, Brittany Putt, was then placed into handcuffs and an ambulance was called for her. While I was waiting, the vehicle was confirmed stolen out of Ft. Smith Police Department.
Once the ambulance arrived, the EMS crew began treating Putt and asked her what hospital she wanted to go to. Putt requested to go to Baptist in Ft. Smith. Putt was then taken by ambulance to the hospital and a Sequoyah County Sheriff’s deputy called for a wrecker to remove the vehicle. Lt Gushing went to the hospital and placed a hold on Putt out of Crawford County for Theft by Receiving, Felony Fleeing, and Driving on Suspended License. Putt also had a confirmed warrant for a probation violation.
On February 5th, 2019, I obtained warrants for the arrest of Putt, for the listed charges. I went to Baptist Health Care in Ft. Smith and made contact with Putt. I then explained the warrant for her arrest I had out of Crawford County and the one I had for a probation violation from the Arkansas Board of Parole. Once she signed the warrant, indicating she understood and promised to appear, I released her on her own recognizance.â€

Wrecked her? Damn near killed her!
Its always Arkansas! LMAO
Arkansas seriously needs to put signs at the state lines that say "we PIT no matter the speed."
why in the hell did they release her she should have been throrwn in jail endangering lives total disregard of any laws.
Runs from police and then cries. You get what you deserve sometimes
He said, "I'm surprised she ain't dead." dude what?? Did ya want her dead? Cause even in 2019 it was known you shouldn't pit at that high of speed.
WOW props to that cop that took her out. He was calm cool and collected the entire time. 😎
A.S.P. YEE HAW!!
Bragging about his good work saying he’s surprised she isn’t dead. Despicable.
As, Soon as i saw that headline i knew it was arkansas
A little love tap first to make sure she knows he is back there and should stop.
gps mph looks wrong.
Look how calm and courteous these cops are. Some cops can take notes here.
That's approaching homicide or attempted homicide. Unless she was fleeing because she had killed someone or was going to kill someone, the chase should have been called off.
Unbelievable that she walked,should have gotten at least a year in jail for that BS.
When I saw 111Mph Pit I knew it was, Arkansas 😂
I'm glad they seemingly did away with the whole thirty five miles per hour recommended limit of using a p.i.t. maneuver like when it first became popular. I truly enjoy dead criminals. But we've seen a few over one hundred miles per hour that damn near and should've killed the officer performing the move. It seems too dangerous for the cop in my opinion. I don't really want to watch a video of a cop dying. It's their call though.
I don't believe the officer caused her to lose control, by the way the back end was swaying back and forth after the first hit she was already on the brink of losing control. Looks like she lost control on her own.
I kn it was Arkansas SP as soon as I saw “PIT†and “111 MPHâ€.
Leave it up to a woman to pit herself
PIT maneuvers should be banned. There are multiple other options that would result is less damage and less risk to the officers and public.
Tax payers should understand that the damage from this practice is on them to pay.
Waste of a nice car.
She had already lost a tire. They've got the car's plate. They've got camera footage. I've never heard of one of these chases ending and the cops not tracking the person down afterwards. What exactly is the upside to putting the suspect, the cops, and the public at risk with a 100+mph pit maneuver? What worse harm has been averted that would have occurred had the cops just ended the pursuit and went straight to the suspect's house?
I like it he pitted the putt. 🤣🤣🤣
Camera must be Mexican.
ASP has the best, World class chases with the best end results.
I just wanted to mention the excellent report the officer wrote. That's the kind of report that stands up in court.
There was no contact, she lost control all by herself. lol
john 3:7- Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
john 3:3-Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
john 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
âœï¸
LOL it wasn't even the attempted pit that made her crash, it was the fact she was going 110mph+ on a wheel. No contact at time of crash. Dumb bitch was lucky to not hit somebody head on.
Apparently she currently has 19 charges on her and she's only 22. I think she's one of them naughty girls.
None of these cops ever know how to PIT properly. They just bump them. They have to follow thru and keep on pushing when they’re sideways.
Released on her own recognizance??? People like her should be punished harshly for putting innocent people at risk, including the troopers. She should lose her driving privileges for life.
He didn't even touch her when she finally spun out… lmfao and someone else said shes a good driver for controlling the car at 20mph through the second pit. SURE BUD
Wah wah my back hurts. Well no shit dummy.
Looked like she lost it all on her own.
People who flee at those speeds should be executed on the spot.
Can Arkansas please be the setting of the next NFS: Hot Pursuit game?
I dont feel sorry for her……she should have pulled over
Even after all her shenanigans he's still professional and kind. This is the way to do it.. stop the garbage, but do your job like a human.
Ohh wow!!
