From the report of Trooper Joshua Porter, lightly edited for clarity: On February 24, 2021, at approximately 11:39 p.m., I was traveling through a Shell Gas Station when I observed a license plate that was bent upward on a white Chevrolet Cruze. I ran the Arkansas license plate, 401ZDC, and the tag returned stolen out of the Fort Smith Police Department.
I turned around and initiated my emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver, Zackery Wilson, was in the vehicle. The passenger, Garret Cardwell, was sitting down in the passenger seat as l approached the vehicle. Wilson ignored my lights and began to back out of the parking space. I initiated my siren and the vehicle continued to travel out of the Shell Gas Station. The vehicle then traveled onto Rogers Avenue and then turned onto Cliff Drive. The vehicle continued to not stop for my lights and siren. I told Troop H dispatch that I was in pursuit of the vehicle. I then traveled beside the vehicle to perform a PIT maneuver to the left rear side of the suspect vehicle to end the pursuit.
The PIT ended with the vehicle in the grass against a barbed wire fence. I then observed a large cup being thrown out of the passenger side window. I waited for additional units before ordering the suspects out of the vehicle. When a Fort Smith Police Officer arrived on scene, I ordered one suspect at a time, to come out of the driver’s side window. Both suspects were placed in handcuffs without incident.
I went to see what was thrown out of the vehicle and found a large cup. Inside the cup, I found two baggies of a crystal-like substance weighing approximately 1.7 ouncez and a baggie of marijuana weighing approximately 3 grams. A used marijuana pipe and a scale with marijuana residue on it were found in the vehicle.
Both suspects stated they didn’t know anything about the illegal substances that were found. Wilson was driving on a suspended license, there was no insurance on the vehicle, and the vehicle had expired tags of 7/2020. Wilson had three active warrants for his arrest; Cardwell had two active warrants for his arrest. There was no damage to the barbed wire fence. The crystal-like substances and the marijuana were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for further testing. The pipe and scale are being held at Troop H Headquarters in evidence.

Nice little bit at the end,
Thanks, RWP.
The one suspect is either really high or craving his next. Female at the end isn’t too bright either lol
Got caught by the goofy hat patrol
Lol! The woman at the end has delusions of grandeur: "I'm a doctor". These Karens always like to act like they're superior to the cops, even if they're lying through their teeth. She probably acts as a "Doctor" in the sex trade.
PITs for days.
Let him out of the parking spot so we can initiate a pursuit and pit manueber on public roads. Brilliant move, Skipper.
Lol the cop at the beginning “ah shit…â€
I like the officers response… did I stutter
You guys are not giving Arkansas a break with all the videos lol
The ASP are brutal. Pitting someone for a misdemeanor smh. These mfs have nothing less to do. Not even a stolen car but a stolen license plate lol what a joke
Such a BS excuse for not pulling over. They have to be pretty dumb to expect anybody to buy that.
Why are there so many High speed chases in Arkansas? Like every day?
AR- Interesting accents and constant pits 😂
Glad the barbed wire fence wasn't damaged.
One instance where failure to yield probably didn't make things noticeably worse.
Here we have a good PIT. There's a reason it should only be a low-speed maneuver, allows the cruiser to shunt the pursued vehicle off the road and block the driver from bailing out. Above a certain speed, well… watch some more ASP PIT videos. Anyway, who lives in AR and doesn't know to pull over once the ASP cruiser is alongside? Dumb-a.
2:47 Idiot driver: 'Stolen license plates?!'
Officer: 'That's what I said, I didn't stutter, did I??!!'
😄😄😄ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
When in a meaningless life where everyone wants and needs to be special, you invent a trooper husband and a doctor title and career when in fact you are exactly the same nobody as most people (and there is nothing wrong with that), yet you just can't admit that to yourself.
It's not saddening …. it only tells me that the time has come where we need a big meteorite URGENTLY.
I'm jus glad the officer ended it before it became a high speed chase..
Awesome video definitely a short chase. And anyone else find these YouTube chapters annoying as hell
You can't be driving around with stolen tags and expect not to be pulled over nowadays. Idiots. To top it off , the morons had drugs on them as well . 😆 😆 😆
The guy doing dispatch sounds like a barrel of laughs
What Arkansas State Trooper Pitting a car under 100Mph the sacrilege 😂
Proof that Arkansas really is the dumbest state in the union.😬
Love that PIT….smooth and easy!
Those two are about as dumb as it gets.
The way the illiterate hillbilly cops speak on the radio, I didn't even need to know this was in Arkansas
woo………..excitement
It's a wonder how people this dumb make it to adulthood.
This cop picked the perfect license plate to run. He couldn’t have possibly found a better one than these guys. Let’s be honest, they look like total scumbags.
As someone who just took ownership of a 6-speed Cruze today I feel sorry for that car.
