- Trooper's Narrative:
On September 14, 2023, I was parked on Interstate 40 near the 249-mile marker running stationary radar. I positioned my
vehicle to observe traffic traveling westbound. I observed a black SUV-style vehicle traveling at what appeared to be a high rate
of speed. Using radar to confirm my observation, I detected this vehicle traveling at 98 mph in a posted 75 mph zone.
After the vehicle passed my location, I pulled onto Interstate 40 and traveled westbound to initiate a traffic stop on this
vehicle. I activated my emergency lights and sirens, but the vehicle continued traveling westbound at speeds over 90mph. As I
closed the distance, the vehicle slowed to 60mph but continued to travel westbound on Interstate 40. I informed Cpl. West via
radio; I was attempting to stop this vehicle. While still traveling westbound, the vehicle and I passed Cpl. West’s location who
then positioned himself secondary in the pursuit.
At this time, speeds were reduced which allowed CPL. West and I drove beside the vehicle multiple times in an attempt to
gain the driver's attention. The driver however continued to travel westbound and never acknowledged our presence when we
were beside her vehicle. The vehicle took exit 243 (Rest Stop Area) where it got behind a semi-truck which blocked the vehicle
from traveling any further. I exited my patrol car and approached the vehicle due to being able to see the suspect’s hands on
the steering wheel. While at the driver’s side window, I knocked on it and the driver looked at me but refused to exit. She then
pulled her car forward a few feet more to evade my presence but could not continue to flee due to traffic being stopped in front
of her.
Commands were given for her to exit her vehicle multiple times but were ignored. Cpl. West used a window punch on the
driver’s side window to allow us to assist the female suspect in exiting her vehicle. The window punch however did not break
the driver’s window out completely and at that time I used my baton to rake the window creating a hole. This caused damage to
the suspect’s driver-side window. The port in the window allowed entry into the suspect’s vehicle so that the door could be
opened to remove the suspect from the vehicle. The suspect had left the vehicle in drive and would not remove her seatbelt.
Cpl. West cut the suspect’s seatbelt and the suspect was assisted out of the vehicle and taken into custody. I then transported
the female suspect to the St. Francis County Detention Center, where she was booked and charged.
Trooper's Narrative:
Big shout out to the truck driver for lending a hand to the officers. Thank you, Sir!!!
Thank you Mr. Truckdriver for helping the police get her off the road. You probably helped to save lives.
Props to that Averitt driver [of trailer 16058 on 9/14/23]. Aware and alert and willing to help!
This woman had no idea what was transpiring. How she passed a drivers license test is a mystery.
That lady is out of her mind doing what she was doing, and the trucker deserves an honorary badge of helping get this maniac off of the road. Enjoy your time in jail, lady.
What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.
Getting arrested and she's worried about her receipt. The court needs to order a psych evaluation on this lady.
My dad was a lifelong semi trucker and taught me road respect rules for their tough job. Well done to him and the troopers.
A thank you to the trucker for his alert driving and contribution.
I wish the troopers has been more appreciative of the trucker. He deserved a heart felt thanks and a handshake from the troopers.
That trucker is fantastic, great situational awareness.
Props to both the police and the trucker to work together for the public’s safety 👍 🏅 💪
OMG she sounded like a feral cat crying when they busted her window. Priceless.
I had a roll over accident on the freeway when I was 24 and a trucker stopped and called an ambulance - he was the only one that saw my upside down car 100ft off the freeway. His lights sat up high enough to see me. Thank God- I had a punctured popliteal artery and would have bled out if not for him! ❤️
Thanks to the truck driver!!
A huge thank you to the truck driver. Smart thinking. People like this that endanger other people and refuse to stop should loose their drivers license forever
She kept asking for a receipt, she was asking for her ticket so she could go about her business. Big surprise to her when she got booked into crossbar hotel without having to go to Travelocity.
A hearty thanks to the long haul trucker who saw exactly what was going on, and acted as a blocker, to help the troopers make the felony stop.
My husband is a truck driver & has helped a few times. It's dangerous but sometimes neccessary.
