POPE COUNTY, AR — On July 16, 2020 at 11:04 PM Arkansas State Police Corporal Chad Maness was stopped on the eastbound shoulder of Interstate 40, at mile marker 87, when he observed a motorcycle pass by at a high rate of speed, passing vehicles on both the inside and outside traffic lanes. Corporal Maness attempted to stop the motorcyclist for speeding and reckless driving but the rider fled eastbound, reaching speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour.
The motorcyclist continued to flee eastbound, passing several vehicles on the shoulder. Maness pursued the motorcycle eastbound on Interstate 40, through Pope county, Conway County, Faulkner County, and into Pulaski County — where the motorcycle ran out of gas at mile marker 144. After running out of gas, the driver stopped on the shoulder and submitted to arrest. The driver was identified as Christopher Smith.
Smith was arrested on charges of felony fleeing by vehicle, reckless driving, driving on a suspended driver’s license, speeding, no proof of insurance, driving without tags, improper lane usage, and improper passing on right. Ultimately, charges were filed for felony fleeing and reckless driving. Smith had warrants out of Yell County, Farmington County, and Cleburne County, but none of the departments would extradite.

And this is why I always fill my patrol vehicle's fuel up first thing on duty….well after the donut and coffee. Priorities.
Still ignorant to chase unless it's a felony… the trooper just wants his adrenaline fix… He had no real idea how fast the bike was going when it passed him….
Note to Arkansas police: an A10 thunderbolt would be an quick and fun way to stop these people.
3:40 did he say thats what she siad?
Oh my god, I love how the cop sits there and talks about him on the phone as if he isn’t even there😂😂😂
I love the Arkansas videos for their accent alone.
Serious question. Why don’t they ever just block the road so he has to stop?
Dang those police cars have some monster engines!
do you understand?…never stand under policy enforcers, ever!!!
No insurance, no tags. What a total dimbass!!
7 cops to capture a dbag on a bike? Nice use of taxpayer resources there Arkansas.
ASP are NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH!
As cool and calm as this Trooper was during the whole pursuit you'd think he does this on a daily basis.
Biker when caught: "Wat? Dis nein und Autobaun?"
Police: "Hmmm…You license is from Arkansas and your name is Rodney Graham. Try again."
That bike will do 185 easy. Dude didn't know what he was doing.
So the cops can talk on the phone and drive huh
What an idiot, if you plan on running make sure you got a full tank you dummy
When I was a teenager it was Crown Victorias and Grand Furys with huge light bars and anemic sub 200HP engines that were lucky to do 115mph on a good day. Not much of a challenge to loose them. Now a days you’ve got a very good chance of being caught with 150mph Chargers roaming the highways!
This guy is the worst rider I've ever seen in a police chase. Can't corner, can't accelerate, looked like he almost dropped the bike before they dragged him off… this guy shouldn't be on a bike at all.
So I guess if you try and run from the ASP on a 600 they just laugh at you?
Everybody talking about how fast that bike will run dont know shit. It could be geared lower also its dark as fuck an anyone who's been over 170mph can attest those are not ideal conditions. He might not have been a great rider but he was smart enough not to exceed his abilities.
"Please don,t tell Jeremy I ran out of gas".
Man I have to admit that cop car huals
Cop : I don’t know what his problem is
R1 : His problem is he won’t take me out of 4th gear!!!!! I’m NOT A GROM!
@27:46 He runs out of petrol, just a heads up for those who don’t want to watch almost half an hour of road pass by and nothing else.
That officer's heart rate barely seems to change. What a badass.
Again first mistake your supposed to never stay on the highway you gotta dip quick an fyi for anyone who runs at night like myself install a headlight kill switch stand it up in back wheel an pooof your gone in thin air.
Guys when you run it's very simple I've done it my whole life. You must always never stay straight go right left right left an hit corners fast you'll always outrun radio. Last time outran the bird I ran to airport. Florida sheriff will try to kill u. So its you or them drop gear disappear
So u telling me a 5.7 charger will do 153 wtf
Loved hearing that R1 on song every time he twisted that right hand grip.
that bike could of put some major distance. looks to be an inexperienced rider.
Dude…you just made this cop chase you for 30 minutes going over 100 mph and you're going to ask if he could be a little more "understanding"? In what world would that happen dumba$$🙄
This cop would have only seen me once !
if this guy can do 180 why isnt he?
These cops are endangered the whole public on the road they ought to be a law there
When the supervisor said "Do what you need to do" over the radio, I thought he was gonna ram the bike going 130mph. Wouldn't be surprised given the reputation ASP has on this channel.
The rider is awfull.
Usa police= nazi ss
These Cops put everyone’s lives at risk Chasing people at the speed for a speeding violation
why are they driving almost 80mph on the way to station?
Sergeant, the law clearly states that I don't have to stop for any officer while I'm riding on my motorcycle unless they have flashing orange & lavender lights and carry a pepper ball gun. Did u not read Florida Statue 970 Sergeant??
when you gotta hit speeds of 153mph, just let him go. gonna kill someone.
Overheard by a friend on a ride along:
Arrestee: Can you loosen the handcuffs?
Friend/officer: That's the inconveniences of being under arrest.
Arrestee in the bathroom: Can you take these off so I can wipe myself?
Friend: Asked and answered. Should have pooped before committing your felonies.
Everyone arrested wants padded cuffs.
Why pull the gun? He had his hands in the air!!!!
Chris: Anyway I can get this cuff loosen?
Officer: No
LOL
Yeah he put his hands up but we assaulted him anyway…
I love how all the comments reference Jeremy Dewitt in some way. Lmao. 😂
This guy SUCKS at riding lol. Any actual tidier would have been GONE.
